Mosdat . —This court resumed its sittings to day , pursnaut to the adjournment from Uie last session . The court was ojijned by the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor , the Recorder , AMtrmau Sir C .

From the statement of the learned counsel for the prose - cution and the evidence that was adduced , it appeared that thu defendant was the mate of a vessel called the Suuez , and the o&nce with which he was charged ^ as hating committed a scries of assaults upon a lad named John Hurgard , who was an apprentice on board the vessel . According to the statement of-. he prosecutor , a
rather weakly but intelligent boy , he sailed from Shields on a voyage t j Alexandria , with coa : s , and when they ¦ we re near Gibraltar the defendant beat him severely with a rope ' s end , and when they were in the harbour of Alexandria , and the coals were being discharged , he was set to trim the lighter , that is shord the coals Isvel as they ¦ were discharged from the vessel , and because he was not strong enough . to do it , he said the mate pelted him with luge pieces of coal , which made wouuds i n both his legs , anil that the captain put limestone into the -wounds ; and he also said that after this , and while his legs were still - very bad the mate u ? ed to jeer Mm , and tell h : m to go aft and " get his blutstone . " He likewise said that because he could not learn the compass , the defendaut used
sometimes is give him a coap'e of duzen blows on the hand ¦ wi th a shoe , which made his hands very sore , and caused lumps tu come on his wrists . The jury returned a verdict of Sot Guilty . > Ir . Payne applied to have the defendant held to bail to answer any other indictment Vaat might I preferred against him . He had committed a great mauy other , assaults upon the boy besides those which formed tie subject of the present indictment . Mr . Clarkson oljeeted to this , as the vessel was about to sail . He said the captain of the Xnncj , was ready to cancel the boy ' s idi-nimvs , and this would tSerfi-. ally prevent the patties from comiug rato colnston in favsrc . the mother of the complainant having consented jo this coarse , the indentures wtre camelled , and the defendant was then diechaisvc .

William Price Lewis , and John Danc-ol-Sc , i ! , waiter , and George Bates , 2 < 5 , jeweller , were indicted for fel ' . inioasly receiving the money , well kuow . iiuj it had been stolen . Tliis case occupied the court for
several hoais , during which jtenuJ a great number o ' lvituesse * wtre examined , bat the character of the charge will bj much better understood iu the form of a narrative . It seems that the prisoners Lake and Bjwen were casaced us waiters at the Trafalgar Hotel , Gharingtrosf , the furtner imviug been employed for nine months , ami the iatttr for as many wteis , at the period the Toabsry was co-jauutud , which was on the 2 Sth of Xo"onber of last year . At that time the prosetutor , who is a clergyman , residing in Wales , was staying at the hotel , aud on the day in question he wtiit to tie ban&hig-hosse of Messrs . Glyn , Iialiifaa , and Co .. and recuvtU change for a chtck for £ 150 , obtaining in payment one note for £ 00 , and the remainder in uoits for £ 10 and £ 5 each . Tne prosecutor , upuu his return
to ilic hotel , roiled up the notes , and plactd them in his purtinauteau , and he then mat out , and on his return si ni ^ lit li e discovered that his jiortmanteau had been «> psned , and that tSe whole of the money had been abstracted . The nex : momiug the prosecutor gave information of his loss , autfor some time so clue was obtained to the perpetrators of the robbery . The numbers and dates of the stolen notes weie , of course , readily and correctly obtained from the Nanking-house , and the inqniries wadi were set on foot led to such results as event iaUy brought the charge home to tho prisontrs . The evidence against the parties charged as jrmiipals , nan . eiy , Lake and liovven , was to'the following effect : —It appeared feat on the ni ght the robbery was couankteJ , Byvven , contrary to the regulations of the hotel , went out about eteht o ' clock , and
did nut return all night ; and when Talbof , the head ¦ waiter at the hotel , saw him i :. the morning , his appear ance induced him to believe he had been out all night , aud on his challenging him with it he denied the fact , and said that he nxs ili . It was shortly afterwards ascertained that the j * risontr Sancock had bsen dealing with some stukn notes , aud as the prisoner Botven was known to be on friendly terms with him , and had shortly before xtconsmeadtd Siuuto be employed as an extra waiter at the Trafalgar Hotel , these cheznnstaucss , coupled with other facts , led to the apprehension of Baweu , and immediately ujwn fhestep Mng taken , it was observed that tie pri oner Like appeared to be in a very excited state , at . d apparently oaiteiiitapabie of attending to business , aud at 1-ugtii TallMt , tlie chief water , vtas induced to teli him that he believed from his conduct that he was
concerned 1 : 1 we robbery , upon which Luke at once admitted that lie was , and told a very singular story as to his share « f the transaction . The story of Lake was that he had been drawn into it by " Charley , " meaning the prisoner Buqren , and that' - it was hiin who had first fonaeil the plan iff rob Mr . Leivis , snd that he had oi'iaiiitd a key for the purpose of opening Ms portuumtea , and that shortly before he held np a icy , and said , " 1 have tried this little gentleman , end it fits Mr . Lewis ' s poirmanteau . " He went on to say that on the day of the xubbviy , the 2 Stbof November , jJosven .-aidtfiat wh « a the head waiter went down to tea tlssy would go and ge ? the notes . Accordingly when this took place the / buia went up togethtr to Mr . Lewis ' s room . and the prisoner Boweu gave him the kev , and told
him to go in aud get the mouey , and he said he would ¦ w ait out-ids , and il he heard any Hoi-e he was to get out of tiie window and walk along the balcony , and so get away . He said that he then went into the room , opened the box , and took out the roll of notes , and he then gave them to Bo-. vea , who-shortly afterwards joiued hun in one of the parlours , and toid him that Sie had got £ 70 , aad that there would he £ 35 a piece for them . He then said that uj » on hearing this he was very much alarmed , aad wauie-i to take tlie money to the head waiter , and tell him that he had found it on the mat close to Mr . Lewis ' s dcor , " rut that Bowen told him he should nub da that , aud that he must iwt let the head ¦ waiter k&oiv evtry thing . Boweu thai asked him to lead him soxie money to pay for a cab to go to Ioadon 4 nridge to see some ' one , wiio , he said , would give him "hard cash'' for the notes , and he accordingly gave
him four shillings , and it was arran ^ td that Bo nen should go out at eight o ' clock , and that ke should then proceed to the City for the purpose of getting the cash . The next siorningliawen fold him that he had taken the rotes to " Bob Snow , " at the Adelaide Hotei , Limdon-bridge , and t ! jat he was to go there to get his share . Accordingly he ^? ent then ; on tae Sunday following to the hotel , where he saw a man who said that Snow had gone away with the money . Iu addition to this statement of Lake , i t was proved that when Bonen was apprehended by Inspector Otway he asked if Lake was iu custody , and on his beiug toid that he was , he said that Lake had committed the TO ' jbery , aud that he told him there was only £ 70 , and i f more moi : ey had been taken he must have kept tlie rest himself . The jury returned a verdict of guilty againstall tlie prisoners . The-Recorder sentenced t'ae prisoner 35 uwea to lie transported for fifteen years , Lake for ten \ tan- - aud Dancuck and Bates for fourteen a ears . -. ¦ ¦¦

the month of May-in last year , about which fiine the neighbeurhood of the Borough of Southwark was thrown into considerable alarm aud excitement by the circumstance of a- number of threatening letters bemg sent to different parties , and which contained menaces ' of the most > diabolical description . The prosecutor in the present instance ^ was ¦ a respectable tradesmanj- who had received a letter on the 18 th of Hay , in which a threat was made to murder him and burn his house ; and after a good deal of investigation there appeared so strong a reason for believing that the prisoner was the writer of that letter , that the present indictment had been preferred against-him . The following evidence was then month ' oi llayin last « ar , about which « me the ^
adduced :- _ Mr . Craster Humble deposed that he was a hop merchant , and carried on bis business at If o . S 2 Highstreet , Southwark . On the 18 th of May he found the letter ( produced ) on his desk . At that time John Killerby , a brother of the prisoner , waj in his service . He placed the letter in the hands of the police—Edward John Tyler deposed that he was a printer , in the employ of Messrs . Lewis and Co ., of Finch-lane , CornhUl . The prisoner was an apprentice to Mr . Lewis . He believed the letter in question to be the handwriting of the prisoner . —bergeant Kendall produced the letter referred to , aua likewise thesoug that had been written by the prisoner . The letter was then read . It was addressed to -Mr . Craster Humble , andits contents
wereour—I merely send you this to put you on your guard , and to warn you that if you keep John KUlerby in your service , out of revenge I will murder one of your children , I have never failed yet . " The letter concluded with abuse of Mr . Humble in very foul language , and a threat to murder bun , and was signed , "Mr . Whateveryou-Iike ; I defy you , sir . " Mr . Clarkson was about to address the jury on behalf of the prisoner , when he was inMrrupted b y Chief Baron- Pollock , who intimated his opinion that there was not sufficient evidence against the prisoner to call upon him for a defence . The jury , after a short deliberation , returned a verdict of Not Guilty . Mr . Bodkin then said there were two other indictments against the , prisoner , imputing to him the offence of attempting to administer poison , in one
instance to the wife of the prosecutor iu the former case , and in the other to a little girl eight years of age . The poison , which consisted of a quantity of oxalic acid , ' was sent , in both instances , in letters , and he was bound to state , that he could not carry tlie evidence as to the handwriting any further than in the last case , and the only additional fact he could show was , that the father of the prisoner was in the habit of using oxalic acid in his business , and the prisoner had opportunities of having access to it . The Lord Chief Barou said he / had not had an opportunity of looking at the depositions in these esses , but , from the statement of the learned counsel , i t appeared that they differed very materially from the former ' one . It would , therefore , be advisable that they should have
an opportunity of seeing what the facts were , before they gave an opinion as to the propriety of proceeding with the other indictments . Mr . Clarkson said the case had stood over for two or three sessions , and there had been ample opportunity of bringing forward evidence to identify the handwriting of the prisoner . He applied to the court to allow the prisoner to be set at liberty under die same bail , and he would be ready to attend on any future occasion if he shouldbe ' rciiuircdtodoEO . Mr . Bodkin had no ejection to this course , and he suggested that the disposal of the other indictments should be postponed until the next session . The Court said they did not see any objection to this ' course , and the prisoner was thereupon discharged .
Chabge of Ansos . —George John Ford , 35 , printer , was indicted for feloniously setting fire to certain premises is his occupation , with attempt to defraad tlie Imperial Insurance Company . The particulars of this charge have Veen recently laid before' our readers . The jury after deliberating for about an hour , returned a verdict of not guilty . The prisoner was then arraigned upon another indictment , charging him with setting fire to the premises of Mr . Allen , the principal witness in the former case . . Mr . Clarkson said that after the full inquiry that had just been concluded , he should not , as the facts would be precisely the same , occupy the time of the court by offering any evidence . The company for whom he and his learned friend had the honour to appear felt it to be their duty to institute the present inquiry ; but after the deliberate decision come to by the jury , they considered they ought not to proceed any further . A verdict of not guilty was accordingly returned .
Theft . —Mary Ann JJye and Mary Wilson were indicted for stealing a quantity of wine and brandy , the property of Edwin Bryant , their master . Both prisoners were proutnnced guilty . Judgment « n Xye , nine months ' imprisonment with hard labour , and on Wilson , six months . Stealing in Oil Paistikc—Philip Wetzner , a German , aged 33 , was indicted for stealing an oil painting and frame , value £ 3 , the property of Mr . J . Annis , a pawnbroker in the City . The jury declared him guilty . The sentence was transportation for ten years . Thoesdat . —The Dabisg Hobbebt at Cambehweh ,. —Thomas Smith aud Ann'Jones were charged , the first with robbery accompanied with violence on -Thomas Phillips , and stcaliug from him a bank note , value £ 10 ,
his property ; aud tlie second with receiving the same , well knowing it t « have been stolen . The robbery wai committed on December 11 th , at the house of Mr . Sambliu , of Catherine-place , C < iniberwell , where Mrs . Phillips , the lady in question , was on a visit . The case has been fully repur ted in this paper . On the prisoner ' s being askfcdjwhattliej Yiadto sayin answer to the charge , Jones declared that she was innocent of any criminal intention . She was the wife of the other prisoner , and i t washer duty to go and get the note changed when , she was sent . The jury after consulting for some tune , found . Smith guilty . A verdict of Not Guilty was returned in favour of the'ftmale prisoner . The former was then sentenced to be transported beyond the seas for the term of bis natural life .

Mosdat . —The "Stags " . —A man named Robert Thompson , who was known in the neighbourhood of " Stagnancy * in Bartholomew-lane , at the time of the railway fever , was brought before the Lord Mayer in the custody of a policeman , charged' with having stolen a banker ' s receipt for money on account of a railway company .

Gibbons , who was known to witness , for the banker ' s receipt for the deposits on forty shares in the British and Irish Union Kailway ; The deposits were £ 3 per share , amounting in the whole to £ 120 .

to receive the document , went to Mr .

Witness waited iu anxious expectation , until five o ' clock , but the prisoner never returned / and witness then went to the house of Mr . Gibbons , of Collet-place , at the East end ; oil and colour manufacturer , to ascertain what could be the cause of the delay . ' Mr . Gibbons said that he had neither given the prisoner authority to get the banker ' s receipt , nor even seen the prisoner at all upon the subject . ¦ The prisoner disappeared altogether for sometime , but witness , determined to punish so flagrant a violation of honesty and good faith , never dropped the pursuit-until he succeeded in apprehending the stag .

blows inflicted a severe gash in ' his lower hip , and the ' prisoner then aimed a blow at his left breast , the knife penetrating completely through his coat and under garments , but he succeeded in warding off the intended mischief by raising his arm , and received a cut extending across all the fingers of his right hand . The prisoner was then secured by some persons in the room and given into custody , and- witness was conducted to tlie house of Mr . Packer , a neighbouring surgeon , who dressed his wounds , neither of which was , fortunately , " of a dangerous character . The prosecutor , after some hesitation , acknowledged that he bad been living for some time with the prisoner , but that the connection bad been broken off for some time , and she had since been in the coustant habit of annoying Wows inflicted a severe indfft his " lowerhii ,. and ^
him , and had been tho means of depriving him of his last situation . The prisoner , who was B reatly agitated , and wept incessantly , said that she bad lived for a considerable period with the prosecutor as his wife , but that he suddenly discarded her about three months ago , and to escape from her importunities , shortly after gave her into custody upon an unfounded accusation of felony , and although the magistrate at once dismissed the charge , she was committed to prison in default of procuring bail , as the prisoner positively swore that he went in danger from her violence . Having heard , on her release from prison , that he had been thrown out of employment , and still feeling a lingering regard for him , she sought him out
on Saturday night to give him a trifling sum she had earned on the previous day , as a tailoress , when he assaUed her with the foulest epithets , upbraiding her with tlie disgraee and ruin he bad-himself brought upon her , and excited her feelings to such a degree , that she lost all command over herself , and-did nat know what she was doing . Mr . Broughton said , that however much he might feel disposed to pompassiouate the prisoner ' s situation , it could not be taken as a justification of the desperate conduct of which she had been guilty , and be must therefore commit h « r to prison , until the additional evidence necessary to complete the case could be brought forward .

DREADFUL SHIPWRECKS AND IMMENSE LOSS OF LIFE . Never , perhaps , lias there been known by th e oldest mariner such a continuance of tempestuous weather , as lias prevailed during the whole of the past month . The accounts from all quarters detail the most heartrending casualties at sea . Amongst those of the most distressing character arc those of the St . David steamer , trading with passengers and joods between Havre , Plymouth , and Liverpool , and the Tom Bowling steam vessel , with the loss of nearly forty lives . The St . David steamer was the joint property of the master , Captain Evans , and Mr . Davidson , a merchant residing at Havre , and was manned by a crew of twenty hands ; It seems that she left Havre in the early part of last week , having on hoard several passengers ,-the number of whom could not be ascertained , and deeply laden , her decks being , according to reports received , loaded with casks
of wine . She was seen by a vessel the afternoon of the day following her departure , and nothing was heard of her afterwards , Until a tew days since , when several casks of wine were picked up by a fisherman , about twentyrfi ye miles east of Havre harbour , which were identified as having formed a portion of the cargo of the ill-fated steamer , which were stored en her deck . It is supposed that she foundered duting the gale—every soul on board perishing . The Transit steamer , which arrived at Southampton a few days since , brought letters announcing that a large quantity of her eargo had been found off the coast ot 1 ecamp , where a body has also been washed ashore , together with part of a ship ' s wheel , much ornamented with copper . ' - The body has been recagnised as that of . the engineer of the St . David . A trunk has been picked up , containing females' apparel , which is known to have belonged to one of the female passengers . . '
The other lost steamer , the Tom Bowling , is supposed to have foundered during the gale of the 16 tb and 17 th ult . with all hands , off the Dutch coast . She wis perfectly anew vessel , being only built at North Shields last summer , and waB the property of the master Mr . Murray , and engineer Mr . Stewart , both of whom were on board of her , and of course perished . According to the information furnished us , she left the river for Bremen os the 11 th ultimo ; where she was to remain a few months on a trial cruise ; if found to be successful , it was understood that she was to have been purchased . On leaving Gravesend her
crew comprised Mr . Murray , master ; John Reed , chief mate ; the second mate , name not known ; Mr . Stuart , engineer ; Paine , Tees , and Stephens , stokers ; two seamen , an apprentice , and a pilot . How for she proceeded is a mere matter of conjecture . Nothing has been seen of her since , although the passage is not more than three or four days . The probability ^ that she encountered the stor ^ v off the Dutch coast , as a boat bearing her name and the captain ' s , has been washed ashore at Norden , where so many fearfulshipwrecks have occurred . That Bhe is lost there is no doubt . ' r -
TheDutch Indiaman , Twee Cernelelenses , wrecked ih Pervensey Bay , near Eastbourne , on Sunday morning last , had a cargo valued at £ 30 , 000 , which was totally lost with the ship . Two other Indiamen were lost more to the westward—one called the Kate Nickleby , belonging tb Glasgow , laden with rum , sugar , and other West Indian produce ; and the otfier named the Ness , from Dcmerara to Bristol . As regards the loss of the former ship , the only particulars received of , her disaster are dated Westporfc ,
Christmas-day ,, which- reports that she was totally wrecked on the night of the 23 rd , during a tremendous storm off the western coast of Erris , near Belwullell , but nothing has been mentioned as to the fate of the crew . The other wrecic happened on Tuesday morning , on the' coast near Padstow . Within a short distance of the spot where the Ntss went ashore , a vessel , ; which turned out to be the A | bion Schooner , 160 . tons burthen , belonging to Brixham , and laden with iron rails , was totally lost , ' and all hands , except one man . '
Their names have been ascertained to be Mr . Salisbury Reynolds , master , anative . of Ramsgate ; Henry May , . William Bosle , Thomas Bennett , and John Knowlea . , The survivor was lashed on the bowsprit his name is William Viseley . The body of the mate is the only one that has . been cast on-the beach . Th « peor fellow has left a wife and five children to mourn his loss . To the westward of Dungcness Bay , near Rye , two most fatal wrecks happened during Christmas-day and the succeeding night . The names of the illfated vessels were the Elizabeth , coal-laden , from Sunderland to Rouen ; and the Eliza , of North Shields , the property . of Mr ., Fleming , also coal laden , for Honfleur ; aud dreadful to relate , every soul
belonging to them , amounting to twenty persons , wevedrowned . Similar catastrophes occurred off Wisbcach , Cromer , Yarmouth , Robin Hood's Bay , and Calais . Thatatthe first-named port was thelossof b urigcalled the Young Adam , of Skegness , and seven of her crew perished . Off Cromer , the Richard , of Elsineuy , foundered , and all on board , nine in . number , " went down with her . At Yarmouth , some miles out , two vessels were seen to founder , and as their crews have not been seen or heard of , it is supposed that every soul belonging to them were sacrificed . And at Calais , the Montague , of Newcastle , for Honfleuv also foundered . The crew , eight in number , took to the boat just before she went ' down , and weremakin « for the shore , when the boat capsised , and the whole of them perished .
Thirteen coasting vessels wern driven ashore during the gales off different parts of the Welsh , and the more distant parts of the Western coast , and in some instances , in consequence of the continuance of the gales , the greater part of them it is feared will become total losses . Eight out of the thirteen were attended by loss af life , each vessel varying from two to three of their crew . Along the Dutch coast the sacrifice of property has been equally as great as off the English . The total number of vessels reported to have been lost amounts to sixteen . The Belgian and French coast have been visited with similar disasters , also occasioning adc-Blorallc loss of life .

Another Death from the Bursting of the Harrington Waterworks . —We regret to state that another has been added to the list of those who perished by the bursting of the tank at the Liverpool and Harrington Waterworks , in I Water-street . The individual whose sufferings have now been terminated was named Ann Devaney . She was the wife of Joseph Devaney , who occupied one of the illfated houses in Rock-street , which were destroyed by the calamity at the company ' s works , on Christmas ' day . Herself , her husband , and her eon were taken from the ruins and removed to the Southern Hospital , in a much injured state . The son died in a day or
two after the accident , and ; at one o ' clock a . m ., on Saturday morning the mother died . When first admitted she had contused wounds on the head , chest , and various - other parts of the body f and she was suffering severely from the suffocation - she had endured whilst lying in the ruins ; Subsequently she rallied a little , and hopes were entertained of her recovery ; but she was seized with inflammation of the lungs , the result of her injuries , which was the immediate cause of her death . ; ' Six persons have now lost their lives by the bursting of the tank ; the mother and son , as we have said , in the family of Devaney j the mother and daughter in the family of Smith ; and the two women who happened to be of the same name , Catherine Gibson .: «
Miraculous EscArE . —A most extraordinary escapefrom death occurred at the Annerly station of the Croydon line on Friday afternoon , week ; In order that the matter may be understood , it should be ' . stated that the trains are now performin g' sixteen trips per day ont he atmospherio principle upon the ' Croydon line . At the above named station ; a swing bridge is placed across the atmospheric tube and line of rails , to enable persons leaving the locomotive train to get to the turnpike-road . On Friday afternoon the locomotive down train arrived at Anierly , and passengers for that station were going away by the usual route . As there is no communication by means of the electric telegraph ' atthis station , the
atmospheric train was not expected ; when with "lightning-like velocity , it was in sight . The guards and other persons seeing the imminent danger to persons crossing the line at the time , set up a loud shout , winch so alarmed the passengers of the locomotive , that several of them jumped out of the carriages . Amongst the number was Mr . Kent , carpenter , of Croydon , who slipped and fell across the tube , the train , which was travelling at the rate of sixty miles per hour ,, being close upon him . Death seemed inetiiable , he made a convulsive spring , and , wonderful to . relate , the front part of the driving carriage hurled him onto the platform , and he escaped uninjured .

Price Two Shillings . FIFTEEN LESSONS on the ANALOGY and SYNTAX of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE , for the use of adult persons who have neglected the study of Grammar . By Wm . HlIiL . " - ¦ - ¦¦ ,
Fifth edition , revised and amended . , The Lessons in these works are intended solely for the use of natives . They are divested , therefore , of all thos » hair-breadth distinctions and unnecessary subdivisions in Analogy , which , if at all useful , can only bo useful to foreigners . The science of Grammar is disentangled in them from the folds of mysticism which have so long enshrouded it . Tin absurd and unmeaning technicalities which pervade all other works on Grammar are exchanged for terms which have a definite and precise meaning , illustrative of the . things they . represeut . The ' Parts of Speech we arranged on an entirely new principle , founded ° , . " . philosophical consideration of the nature of Ian . 8 uage ' , -.: ' . The necessary divisions and isubdivisiohs are rationally accounted for , and tlie principles of Universal Grammar demonstrated so fully that the' meanest capacity may understand them as clearly as it understands that tw « and two make four . ! '
In Syntax , the formation / of the English Language is ex ^ clusiyely consulted , without any unnecessary reference to other languages . A majority , of . tlie numerous Rules given in most Grammars are shewn to be little better than a heap , of senseless tautology . The necessary Rules are demonstrated upon rational principles , and illustrated by a variety , of examples . ' , '" . ' By the use of tne fifteen . leBsons , and the accompanying exercisss anyone . may , in a few weeks , acquire a good knowledge , of Grammar , without ' any of the disgusting drudgery which , under the present system , prevents nine out of ten from ever acquiring a knowledge of Grammar * t-all . i ' " .

"Mr . HUlig eridently an original thinker . " He attacks with ability and success , the existing system of English Grammar , and points out the absurdities with which it h encumbered . Justl y condemning the ' too frequent practice of making pupils commit portions of Grammar to memory a Btasks , he maintains that the only proper way t < j fte memory is through the understanding .... ...

The desire of the author has been to furnish a valuable compendium at such a price as would' enable every working man to become possessed of it .

" I have , within the last few months , visited every par of France , and I declare that I have seen more misery in one Street in Dublin than in all France ; the people are well cladj well fed , and merry ; they are all employed on Shall Farms of ( heir own , or on equitable takings !"Vide Lord Cloncuny ' S Letter in Horning OlronicU , Oct . SM , 18 st 3 . ' Those persons desirous of bettering their condition and of becoming "Independent Labourers , " by entering the "Productive-labour" Market , will do well to read "A Practical Work on Small Farms , " by Feaeqdb O'Connor , Ebq . It contains much useful information , invaluable to the parties for whom it was written ; and Old Farmers will find many useful lessons in the new system of husbandry ^ which they have yet to learn . The work displays great practical knowledge , and is written so that any one who reads may understand . Mr . O'Connor seems nat to
have used either the old " or ' new nomenclature' in this work ; he has not buried his meaning in chemical technisalities , which very few understand , but which most writers on agriculture seem so desirous of using . Perhaps they do not understand the practice ' of Farming so well as She theory ; and , therefore , mystify that which they cannot explain , by some long chemical term , which the plain reader may pass over as a , " Jiord ' word , " hard to pronounce , and harder to understand when it is pronounced . The reader will find that Mr . O'Connor has avoided all those hard names , and suited the language to the toiling labourer , whose college is generally the workshop , or , at \ esi , the Sunday School . Though th « wort is written for holders of Small Farms , yet no Allotment Tenant ought to be ' without it ; the valuable information it contains respecting tilling and cropping is alike useful to all .

The superintendent of police narrated the ' particulars of his attempt to apprehend Yarham , and of his taking him at Blakeney , in Gloucestershire . The principal testimony against Yarham will be his own evidence when admitted a witness against Royal , Hall , and Mapes , and a conversation which Mrs . Dick , on oath , states that Yarham volunteered to her " about three weeks after the trial . "
It will be the object of the prosecution to prove that Yarham , when admitted approver , did not state the whole truth , which , if they succeed , according to the opinion of the Attorney-General , will subject him to a prosecution for the murder . , ; Mrs . Dick adhered to the statement which she has recently , though not until to-day on oath ; made , which statement we have recently published . Mr . Sherrington cross-examined Mrs . Dick on the improbability of her riot knowing Yarham , haying been examined ; in each other ' s presence beiore the magistrates on several occasions and at the trial ; on her talking with him for a quarter of an hour in the most public part of the town , and making a confession , the effect of which , if true , jeopardises her ownneck . '
A witness was called of the name of Sims , a boy in the service of Mr . Hume , of this town , a chimneysweep , for the purpose * of ' strengthening the statement of Mrs . Dick , as . to the fact of any conversation at all having passed between her and Yarham . We understand that this boy failed to corroborate Mrs . Dick ' s statement as to the time when she allcgea the conversation to havo taken place . The boy Siins states that he climbed up on the barrack palings the day after the murder ( not three weeks after the trial ) , and saw Mrs . Dick and Yarham in earnest conversation together . . '
Mr . Catchpole ,, solicitor , was called , who proved that he caine home from the Angel Inn , where he had been dining , about half-past one on the morning of the murder , and , was let in by , Yarham , who was dressed . Yarham made no communication to him about anything haying happened at Mrs . Candler ' a ( whose house , it will be remembered , was separated only by a thin boarded partition ) , nor . was ho made aware of it until the police came and called him up shortly after he had been in bed .. Yarham went with him into the shop , and saw the body of deceased ; he said he had been awake all the evening , and had heard no noise of any kind . Police-constable Johnson , and ex-police officer Waller , prdved the trying of Mrs . Candler ' s door and shutters , and finding the body of deceased behind the counter , in the manner described by them at the inquest and trial .
J . B . Bales , sergeant-at-mace , stated that the day after the murder he went to the Denes , where the money was found , and examined several foot-marks , some of which , on comparing them with Yarham's shoes , he believed to be his . Yarham had a small foot , and tlie impressions , from' his ( Bales ) knowledge , -from having been a shoemaker , agreed very much iith the size of the prisoner ' s . The remaining part of tlie evidence , given up to halt-past five on Monday , when the Court adjourned , was almost literally the same as deposed to on the trial . ( The exclusion of the reporters and the public is the subject of very general censure , and tends to increase the very popular belief that Mrs . Dick ' s statement is not to . be . relied upon , . on account of its numerous and glaring inconsistencies . :
