      TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF IRONGATEWHARF . TWO VESSELS , AND £ 200 , 000 OF PROPERTY .

      On Thursday afternoon , one of the most extensive conflagrations that has occurred during the past year , broke out on the premises of the above wharf , and , from the combustible nature of the property , the whole of the extensive building and contents , as well as tbe Busy , of Bridport , and a considerable portion of the Uawfc , of Montrose , were consumed before the devouring element was subdued . The loss is stated to vary from £ 150 . 000 to £ 200 , 000 . It appears that the numerous men employed at tbe wharf were busily engaged in following their different occupations , when , about twenty minutes to four o ' clock , a loud and unusual report was heard at the eastern part of the building , and before the cause could be ascertained , a thick heavy smoke was seen

      to rise from the lower parts , or cellars of the wharf . The density of the vapour left no doubt as to the place being on fire , which caused an instantalarm to be given . Within five minutes after the first discovery a heavy red flame was seen to rise , catching hold i > f everything in its way . The alarm was instantly given , and the Tower bell , used in cases of fire and danger , was set in motion , when the Guards on duty were turned out , and taken to the spot Within half an hour after the outbreak , there were on the spot a number of engines from the more distant stations , independent of those belonging to the Tower and Pocks , and the floats ; unfortunately it was low water at the time , which caused those who were ready and willing to exert themselves to stop the progress of the devouring element , to remain oassive

      spectators of the destruction ef property of all descriptions . By the time the engines were set into play , the whole building was one illuminated mass , the flames shooting up through the roof , and out of the windows in long fiery streak * , of a deep dun colour , provine to those well experienced in these in liter * , that all attempts to save the building and contents were fruitless , while the only object to play upon tbe vast burning mass was to deaden the fire , so as nwt to heat the north wall of the St . Katherine Docks , and thereby prevent ignition taking place within the docks . During two hours this appeared to be a hopeless task , for in quiet succession strong uvid flime , accompanied by a report , was seen to ris * up , and while it lasted , added additional fury to the fire . These exhalations , if they may be so termed , were found to arise from tbe puncheons of whiskey , as they one after the other exploded . While the work of destruction was thus going on sh

      on ore , a still more fearful scene presented itself at the water ' s edge . Alongside of the wharf were moored the Busy , of Bridport , and tbe Hawk , of Montrose . The former had arrived on Sunday with a general cargo , and was nearly unloaded , while the Hawk had only come to her mooringR in the course of the day . Directly after the outbreak they were both cut away from their moorings , but being low water it was found to be impossible to get them away . The consequence was the Busy speedilycaugbifire , and although the power of the floating engines was directed towards her preservation , she was burnt , as far as the reporter could understand , to the water ' s edge , while the masts , span , and other parts of the f !^ ' « consumed . The vessels were found to be i 00 tons burden , and the latter contained a very Tamable cargo , most of which was damaged and destroyed by water .

      We have already stated that the fire began at the east , or lower end of the premises , and at this par ; a great body of tbe devouring element was concentrated . About fifty feet from this point . Loader , the engineer , of the Farring don-rtreet engine , was sta-H f . . **« fe to " engaged in holding the S 3 M - u lensth of tbe fr ( * t , to where he stood , Jell with a tremendous crash . Loader , on hearing the wall crack , ran towards the wall of the it . Katlienne Docks , and be had scarcelv got there before the branchand ho « e were buried beneath the burning mass . When all danger was past the branch was extricated , aud was found to be completely flattened in some parts , while other portions were greatly indented .

      During the period the fire was at hia height considerable alarm was manifested for the safety of the docks , a ,, d mea were ggjrt to the top by Sip j £ ja ,, who kept pouring water down the walls for the purpose of keeping the brickwork cool , and , being ably aided by the engine * , they succeeded in preventing an ignition taking place within . The Bame exertions were made with regard to the Marquis of Granby public-house , which , with the exception of a portion efthe roof , was saved . By eight o ' clock all danger ef the further progress of the fire was at an end .

      LITEST PARTICULARS . It has been ascertained that the outbreak occurred n the first floor of the warehouse , in which compartment there were an immense number of bales of linen and some cotton waste . One of the workmen who w as in the building at the time , stated that another workman went into the front warehouse with a lighted caudle or lamp , in order to examine a bale of goods . "Whilst he was so engaged , & spark flew from his light , and upen falling the loose cotton , the same became ignited . The party immediately tried to throw down a bale of good * upon the same , hoping , by that means , to extinguish the flames . In that endetvnur , however , he was foiled , for the fire mounted so fearfully that he was obliged to make a lia < ty retreat , otherwise he would have been burnt to dcash . for in the brief space of two minutes , one half

      of ill-: warehouse wasenveloped in flames . The clerks at once began to remove the books from the counting liouse , b i t so rapid was the progress of the conflagration , that they were enabled to save only a portion of £ ' u ~ T tiic ottlers were bttrned '>«» tn ? fire . lne lower floor contained an immense number of easkt of tallow , puncheons of whiskey , hogsheads and bags of sugar . 1 , 500 barrels of beef and pork , and a deal of coffee . The two upper floors were failed with bales of linen , canvas , and miscellaneous articles , togetherwith a number of firkins of butter . Upon the quay was stored casks of tallow , hogsheads of sugar bundles of hides , and puncheons of whiskey . The latter articles were rolled out before the flames had penetrated the flooring , and were as Boon as possible removed to the Tower for protection The whuleof the immense stock in the warehouses , ho . vever , fell a prey to the fury of the flames .

      It was for some time feared that two men , who were on the premises at the time of the outbreak , had been burned . It was ascertained on Friday that they had botu escaped uninjured ; it h therefore believed that no person has perished .

Hardwiek forbaving beaten and otherwise ill-treated his wife , Julia Tbom « t . The complainant , a young woman of soild manners and prepossasOng appearance , with a tremendou » black ey « , stated that the continued ill-nsagash * received at the bands of her hutband , bad at last indueed her to seek for a separation . As tbe readiest means of effecting thh object , she had , at the suggestion of her friends , taken outan assault warrant against her husband , although the had n » wish te punish lam for tb » personal injuries he had inflicted on her . She had three children , the eldest six jean of age , the youngest a

      year and nine months . It was her wish to have an allowance from her husband in order to assist in keeping the children , which she earnestly desired to have charge of . Mr . Hardwiek asked the husband , a young man , whether he would listen to the proposal of his wife f Husband—I ' m come here to answer a charge of assault . Mr . Hardwiek—Who gave your wife that black eja t Husband ( in a surly tone)—Why , I did . Mr . Hardwiek —What for ! Husband—Oh , I could say if I chose , but I don't choose . Wife—I do not make any complaint against my husband for the assaalt . Blowrfrom him have > been too customary for me io think anything further of them than tha disgraceful marks they leave . If blows were all I had to complain of I should never hsve appeared in this Court . It is his shocking language to

      me that wounds me far more deeply . 1 % may be presumption in me to say it , but I have been a good wife to him and a good mother to his children . Lvt him , if h » can , iay one word against me . Mr Hardwiek— . You hear what your wifeiaj * . So you mean to let her have the children and to make her a reasonable allowance for thelrmpport ! Huband—I come her about an assault , and don't intend to say anything about what I mean to do with the children , except not to let my wife have them . I am able to maintain them . VJifo—If my husband will only let me have ' my children I will take them without any allowance at all , I have worked before and lean work again to keep my children . Husband—I eWntgive up the children . Ton may go away if yon liVe . butvou shall not have the children . I shall put

      them out to nurse somewhere . Wife—I hope your worshipwill order my children to be given u ? to me , for ( banting into tears ) , who can take care of them or look after them like a mother . Mr . Hardwiek—Tour wife wishes to part from you on account of your continued illtreatment . She is justified in refusing to live with you on those grounds . If , therefore , joa do not come to some terms with her , I shall certainly put the law in force . Husband- 'Oh , I know all about that . I'm prepared for anything the law can do . It can't make mo give mp my children . Mr . Hardwiek—But the law can compel you to restrain your brutal temper ; and I will take care that its power ii exercised . Look at that young woman ' s face , and say whether the unmanly brutality you have exercised on ber can admit of excuse . Ifjoudonotgiveup the children and make terms with your wife , I will fine yon as far as tbe law will allow for the assault . Husband—I sha ' nt give up the children .

      Mr . Hardwiek—At all events , the youagest being an infant must not be separated from the wife , I fine you £ 3 , or two months imprisonment for the assault , and if , after yau come out of prison , you do not support yeur wife and child , upon an application from the parish , I will tend yon again to prison . Tbe husband was then removed , and a few minutes afterwards the wife came into Court , and implored , in the most earnest manner , the magistrate to release her husband . Rather than see him sent to prison , she would consent to him keeping all the children , Mr . Hardwick said the wife wag treating her husband too well . He could not , however , allow b » r , from feelings of misplaced affection , to overlook the general miscomductof ber husband . He was determined that such a man should sot entirely escape from justice . The wife was too good for him , and that was the fact . The hatband ' s brother consented to enter into an arrangement satisfactory to the wife . The husband was then released on paying a trifling fine .

      WORSHIP STREET . —Fbacas in am Omkibds . —Mr . Richard King , a merchant , residing in Warren-street , Fittroy-square , was charged before Mr . Broughton with having committed a violent and unprovoked assault upon Mr . Jabes Woods , an engineer in Bocklersbury . Tbe complainant , a member of the Society of Friends , affirmed that at nine o ' clock on the preceding evening he got into an omnibus at Stoke Newington , where he had been dining with a party of friends , and shortly afterwards tbe defendant and lady catered th « vehicle , and seated themselves directly in front of him . In order to sit more commodioculy , as the omalbus was crowded with passengers , be found it necessary to stretch out his legs , at which ibe defendant expressed his dissatisfaction , and desired him to remove them . Witness insisted upon his

      right to retain them in that position , and the defendant Jhereupon seized hold of one of his legs , and violently thrust it aside . Feeling indignant at such treatment , witness raised bis foot and kicked the defendant , upon which tbe latter instantly struck him a violent blow upon the temple with an umbrella , nnd caused a , severe wound from , which the blood flowed in such profusion as to saturate his dress . One of the passengers immediately wrested the umbrella from tbe deftmdant , and on reaching the turapike where the vehicle stopped , he was given into custody . The complainant exhibited his handkerchief and various articles of dress he had worn upon the occasion , all of which wire stained with blood . Mr . U . Messer , a gentlemen residing in Throgmorton Street , and a muter builder named Binning , folly corroborated the

      complainant ' s evidence , and stated that they observed nothing whatever in the conduct or demeanour of the latter to justify inch an attack on tbe part of the defendant , who acted quite spontaneously , and without ny complaint having been made by the lady in his company that she was subjected to annoyance or iuconvenience . In answer to thecbarge , the defendant said , that after taking his seat in Urn omnibus , bis attention was first attracted to the improper conduct of the complainant by an uneasy feeling exhibited by his wife , who was sitting next to him , and who at length teld him that the complainant was insulting her by stretching out his legs , and pressing her knees in a most offensive manner . He accordingly put down his hand , and finding the complainant ' s legs in a position his wife bad described , requested him to remove them , but he refused to do so , and

      he was therefore himself compelled to force them aside . The instant be bad done so , however , tbe complainant raued his feet and dealt him a violent kick in tbe stomach ; be certainly struck him with bis umbrella , and considered himself perfectly justified in resorting to such a course of retaliation . Mr . Broughton said he had no doubt that the defendant ' had-acted under tbe erroneous impression that his wife had been insulted in the manner described , but if he felt himself aggrieved bis proper course was to remove the lady and appeal to the conductor , instead of taking tbe law into bis own hands in the unwarrantable manner he had dons . The assault had been clearly established , and he should order him to pay a penalty of 60 s ., or in default be committed for one month to the House of Correction . The fine was immediately paid and the defendant liberated .

      THAMES . —Roibsst . —A well-dressed man , named Peter Raitt , about 40 years of age who was formerly mate of a ship , w « s charged with stealing a £ 20 Bank of England note belonging to Henry Lloyd , a seaman . The prosecutor is a native of Aberdeen , where he had formerly known the prisoner . . On Thursday afternoon Llojd and six other mariners , who bad been discharged at Wbitebaven from the ship Acasto , which had made a succenful guano voyage , arrived in London by the railway , and proceeded to the Aberdeen steam wharf for tbe purpose of engaging a passage to Scotland in tbe City of London steam-ship , which was to sail on ' Saturday . Lloyd met Ms countryman Raitt on the wharf , and the recognition was ajoyful oae on both sides . The prosecutor asked Raitt if he could recommend him and bis

      shipmates to a lodging for a couple of nights until the steamer sailed ! The prisoners assured the sailors he would take them to a safe harbour , where they would have a snug berth and good treatment , and accompanied them all to a lodging-house , No . 2 , Smith ' s-court , Wapping . Soon after the men were housed , the prisoner asked Lloyd if be had got any money , and advised him to be very careful , as there were plenty of land-sharks about . Lloyd said be had a £ 20 note which he ha * d recetoed of bis captain , and the priioner advised him to deliver it into bis charge until tbe steamer sailed . Lloyd accordingly handed the note to the prisoner , who locked it up in his presence . On Saturday morning Lloyd asked the prisoner for his note . Raitt unlocked the box and feigned the greatest astonishment on

      finding it empty , He said the note was gone ; that he had been robbed of it ; and that Lloyd must put up with the loss . The prosecutor , however , would not do so quietly , and gave the prisoner into the custody of a Thamespolice constable . That officer gave a bad account of the prisoner ; said he had been leading a dissipated life , and cohabiting with a woman of loose character at a house in Smith ' g-place , opposite the one where the sailors had been lodging . Mr . Yardley aBked the prisoner what he bad done with the j £ 20 uote T The prisoner said , he left the note in a box on his mantelshelf , and it it w « s stolen daring his absence from home . Mr . Yardley : I dnn't believe a word you say . Will you give up the note t—The Prisoner : I cannot do so . I have nut got it . —Mr . Yardley : I believe you have

      appropriated tbe note to your own use ; and if it is not restored I have the power of punishing you severely . The prisoner having Persisted that he could give no information about the note , Mr . Yardley said , he should enforce the provisions of a very useful act of Parliament , the 8 th and 9 th Victoria , cap . 116 , — being , '' An Aetfor the Protection of Seamen entering on board Merchant ships , " and make an order on the prisoner to restore the £ 20 note he had illegally detained , and , in default of doing so before the court closed , to pay in addition a penalty « , f £ 10 . The prisoner refused to comply with the order , and Mr . Yardley , after stating that tbe case was a very bad one , sentenced the prisoner to beimprisoned for six calendar months , aud be ke pt to hard labour , which was the macimum punishment awarded by the act .

The woman was closely quest i oned , and she answered in . a manner that gave the face « f probability and troth to her story . Mr . Combe ordered that the family should reeelve every immediate assistance and comfort through the poor box , and that they should be provided for until the case might be properly investigated , for which purpose they were plaeed uader tbe direction of Mr . D . uke , tbe Chief Usher of the Court . They appeared grateful for the kindness shown towards them , aud they were instantly supplied with food , clothing and lodging .

Miss Ann Burnell , of No . t , Hartlabd . terrace , said she was crossing from Foleyplace on Saturday afternoon last , when' tbe prisoner suddenly came in trout of ber , snatched a parcel out of her hand , and ran off . She pnrsued and called " stop thief , " and , in » short time , tbe prisoner was stopped . Tbe parcel contained some cloth of little value . She was positive that the prisoner was the person who snatched tbe parcel from ber hand . A piece of brown

      paper was found in the yr ' soner ' g pocket immediately after he was apprehended , witness , to the best of her belief , declared to be tbe paper in which the cloth was wrapped . The prisoner , who treated the whole affair with perfect indifference , said he should defer his defence . He was committed . One of the witnesses , White , applied to Mr . Long for protection against the friends andrelttives of the prisoner . While in Court , the parties bad conducted themselves in a menacing manner towards him , and anticipated further annoyonce from them Mr .

The summons against the third party was dismissed . Mr . Crawford , the

      manager of the Company ' s vehicles , complained that the pelice did not act impartially , inasmuch as summonses were continually issued against the new company , whilst tha proprietors of the original Cd . omnibuses were loft uumolested by tbe Police , although they were daily acting in opposition to tbe law to a muck greater extent than their less favoured rivals were , The fiues inflicted were immediately paid , and after the case was thus fi . nally disposed of . Mr . Grawford re-entered the Court , and was about to set forth to Mr . Rawlinson the shameful and unjust means resorted to by the old company , with the view of putting down tl . e low priced vehicles , when he was told by tbe magistrate that the cases brought before him had been disposed of , and that be was of count at liberty to indict any parties for a conspiracy if he thought proper .

      GUILDHALL . — False accusation . —Mr . Richard Thomas Tubbs attended to answer the compluint of Sarah Marks , bis nursery maid , for indecently ' assaulting ber on the 16 th and 17 th ultimo . Mr . Wontner appeared oa behalf of the prosecutrix , and Mr . Humphreys for the defendant , a warehouseman in Wood-street . Cheapside . Mr . Wontner guvaan outline of the case , which , he said , did not warrant him in preferring a charge of rape , but established an ussanlt on one day , and on the other an assault with int ' . nt to violate . She mentioned the matter to her fellow-servant the next day and U her mother on the 26 th , the first time she saw her . Her father immediately took her away , had the girl examined by a surgeon on the following Monday , and preferred this charge on the next day . Sarah Marks

      stated that she is over U yean , and had been in the service of Mrs . Tubbs , as nursery maid , five weeks , Her master bad three children , the youngest being still in arms . Oa the lGth her master came into the nursery at Un o ' clock at night to see if the children were in bed , and finding ber standing in ber night clothes , he lifted her into bed , and put his hand up herclotheB . She told him that was very improper . On the next day he came into the nursery at dinner time to wash his hands . He then threw her on the bed and effected his purpose . He told ber if she made any noise she would loose her place . Two of the children were placing In the passage , and running in and out of tbe room , and the room door was ajar . The child was in her arms , when he put her in the bed . She laid it by her sideand tried to get away . Mr .

      Humphreys cross-examined the witness at great length but quietly , so as not to perplex her . She said she had not received notice to quit , nor had her master and mistress been continually finding fault with her . Her mistress found fault with her one day . Bo not recollect what it was for . It was for not putting clean drawers on the children . Slieonc * brought wrong change from tbe public-bouse , and her mistress found fault with her : Those were the only occasions on which she found fault with her . Sheremtmberedauotherdisagreement about lOd . change . Her mistress said the could not tell what witness had done with it . There was another occasion about 3 d . wrong in change for some potatoes . Her mis . tress came home and told ber about it . Her master and mistress had frequently complained of her being

      dirty . Did not hear her master insist upen her getting rid of ber . Heard hor mistress tell her brother , on the 15 th , that if she did not alter she must send her away . On the 16 th her mistress was out all day . Her mistress ' s father occupies two room * on the same floor with the nursery , and her master sleeps in another room , but her mistress was down stairs in the parlour on the night of the 16 th . She supposed her mistress ' s father was in hia rooms . He was in his rooms the next day when her master assaulted her . Further evidence was adduced to prove the shuffling and fencing way in which the charge had been got up , after which Mr . Hunter of Milnersquare , Islington , surgeon , said he examined the girl on the 28 th December . There were then no symptoms of violence , nor means of determining whether any intimacy bad taken place or not . What was regarded

      as a test , had no existence in some cases . Mr . Humphreys addressed tbe magistrate at considerable length , contending that the motive which prompted the girl to make the charge was the fear of being dismissed and tent home , her father being out of work ; aud she theiffore framed an excuse for leaving without blame on her part . He dwelt upon her ^ revarication , and ihe im . probability that a man . would behave in the way alleged while his children were playing in the passage , and running in aud out of the room . He fortunately bad witnesses to show that his client did not dine at home on tbe 17 th . Mr . Alderman Hughes Hughes said he would save him the trouble . The charge was totally unsupported b y the evidence of the surgeon , and the girls statement em . braced such extreme improbabilities , and she had pr « . varicated so much , that he could not trust to her evidence . He must dismiss the charge .

      WEDNESDAY . ' GUILDHALL . — Suicide Pbevinted bt a Woman — An old man , 70 years of age , named Edward Stuart , was charged with having attempted to throw himself off Blackfriars Bridge , with tbe intention of destroying his life . The poor man appeared to be half imbecile , half blind , and in great distress . Harriet Mars , stated that about four o ' clock the previous afternoon , while passing over Blackfriars Bridge , she obserred the prisoner sitting with one leg over the parapet , to all appearance engaged in prayer . Presently she saw him put the other leg over , and he was in the act of throwing himself off , whtn * he rushed forward , and catching hold of him , detained bim until two gentlemen came to her assistance , and got him over on to tbe pathway , after which he wait given into custody . John Webb , 315 , said that , finding

      a letter in the prisoner ' s pocket , he went to his residence , Thomas-street , Grosrenor-sqaare , and there found his wife , an old woman , in the greatest distress , unable to get up , and evidently near ber dissolution . The woman ' s sister was in attendance on her , but she said , as her only means of subsistence wag by doing a little charing , she should be compelled to go out and do something , and consequently to leave her djidg sister by herself . Alderman Hooper said that , if that was the case , it was requisite that prompt steps should be immediatel y taken for their relief . He then instructed theofflcer to proceed at once to thepwi 6 h in whith they resided , and call the attention of the officers to the destitute state of the poor woman . In the meantime the husband should be remanded until Saturday , and be taken caru of until it was ascertained what the parochial authorities Intended to do .

      Tlie prisoner was then removed from the bar , apparently unsoncious of all that was going on in the Court .

      the pane belonging to Mr . Gowding , and also bit gloves , which had been taken from him oi tbe night in question . A Mr . Xaeh , superintendent of the carriage department of the South-western Railway Company , attended , and being shown the silver lever watch above-mentioned he at enct identified it , and in describing the circumstances under which he lost it ,. said that la August last he dined in the Tower , and on proceeding hemewardiat night he was induced to treat some females , and on that occasion he was robbed of the watch now prodae ' ed . He , however , could not undertake to say that the prisoners were the women whom he treated on the night in question . It was manifest , however , from the marks upon the watch indicating its owners , the South-wester ^ Company , that the thieves could not ditpose of it without the risk of detection , and to that circumstance was to b * attributed the fact of its being found in the prisoner ' s possession , The prisoners were remanded , as other charges were likely to be brought against them .

      WORSHIP . STREET Dist » es « no Cie * . —Mr . Hanley , the cbief usher , who has been directed by tbe magistrates for some days past to visit the habitations of poor persons in the district , on whose behalf applications had been formally made at this Court , and to administer relief in the shape of fuel , food , and blankets from the funds of the poor box , made a report amongst others of the folbwing distressing cases which have come under bis cognisance : —The officer stated that on catering a wretched hovel in Willow-street , Shoreditcb , he found a poor widow named Crick lying almost destitute of covert , iftg upon a miserable bed , to which she bad been confined for eight . weeks in the last stage of consumption , during which t < me she had been depending solely upon the labours of three little boys , her sons , of ages varying from ten to fourteen years . The little fellows at the time of his visit were sitting round their mother ' s bed .

      busily engaged in the manufacture of lucifer match boxes for which they were paid at the rate of 2 jd . per gross , and as the utmost numbtr . they could make was onl ) about 24 or 26 gross in » week , their joint exertions produced not more than 4 s . 6 d . or 4 s . 9 d . for the smbsistence of the whole family . The officer immedifctely nupplied the poor woman with an order upon the poor box for fuel and food , and two pairs of wurm blankets' and sheets , of which they were entirely destitute ; and considered it his duty to lay the case before tbe parish authorities to secure the poor creatures some permanent out-door a » i * - tance , as the woman herself would not communicate her distress to the parish , from a fear that she might be compelled to enter the workhouse witk her children . That course , however , bad not bee < rendered compulsory by Mr . Ross , the relieving officer , who had consented to allow her 4 s . per week and bread in proportion ,

      The next case the chief usber investigated was that of two orphan tigtors named Jane and Mary Anne Baker , lodging In Finsbury market , who had been suddenly deprived of the scanty meass of lubsistoace they had previously obtained by shirt and waistcoat making , in consequence of their inability to furnish the requisite surety for the safety of their work . Having been several weeks without employment , they bad parted with nearly everything they possessed to procure food ; and their pale and bagged looks painfully ver ified their assertion tbat they had not tasted animal food for nearly thice weeks . The

      place bore the appearance of the most abject wretched , nesj , and to aggravate their misery they had just received notice from the agent of their landlord , to whom they owed ssven weeks ' rent , at 3 s . per week , that unless the amount were discharged forthwith he should be compelled to turn them into the streets . Having administered to their immediate wants , the usher directed the youag women to apprise him if the landlord should adopt coercive steps against them , tbat he might render them some further assistance to alleviate their helpless condition .

      FRIDAY . LAMBETH . —On Monday last Alexander . M'Leisb , a journeyman baker , was charged with inflicting a serious wound on tbe head af a female named Wood , who he had mistaken for his wife , and who was then in so dangerous a state , as to be unable to attend , and th « prisoner vras , inconsequence , remanded until she was in a eoadition to appear against bim . To-day a communication was made to Mr . Norton , from Mr . King , the medical gentleman in attendance on the poor woman , to the effect tbat she was much worse , in fact , she was fast sinking and therefore that It would be advisabU to have her deposition taken as soon as possible . In consequence of this intimation Mr . Norton lost no time in proceeding to the residence of the injured woman , accompanied by Mr . Gunn , tbe clerk . On reaching the house , No . 1 , Nelson street , Camberwell , the magisirate found the poor woman as described , sinking very fast , and rapidly approaching her end , but still in perfect possession of all hei

      faculties . Finding this to be the cose , Mr . Norton directed that the prisoner , M'Leish , who had been brought from Horsemonger-lsne Goal , to be brought into tho room , and be was accordingly taken to the bedside , in the presence of the evidently dying woman . The latter was then sworn in tbe usual way , and her evidence , as follows , taken down by Mr . Gtiun : — "My name is Mary Elizabeth Wood , and I am a widow On Saturday evening last , about seven o ' clock or later , I went to Mrs , Leish ' sto take her a pitcher of water to her house , 4 . Fitt-street . I took it into her room , and 1 think I took it out again . The prisoner was there , but his wife was not in the room . He said he wanted sonu tea , and that he would hit his wife with tbe poker . He was in liquor , I am sure or he would not have said it . Whether it was coming into the room or going out I can ' t say , but I felt blow on my head , and that ' s oil I remember . God forgive him , for I dot I don ' t r « collect how long I h « d been in the room when this took place . I bad no conversation with him about his wife that I re .

      collect . He said be wanted some tea and I said I weuUi get seme for bim . I was with hip long enough for him to talk much about his wife , He didn't call his wife any names that I heard . I have been a friend to them and tried to make up their quarrels . If he had been in hit ssntes he would not have injured a hair of my head . "The prisoner was here asked if he wished to ssy anything , nnd replied , "I have only to say ,, that as Mrs . Wood was coming in , I said I would strike my wife , and as she came in I thought it was ber . I hare nothing further to say but that 1 am very sorry for it . " The poor

      injured woman held eut her hand to the prisoner when be was about to leave the room , and grasping his hand , shook it heartily , declaring two or three times tbat she forgave him with all her heart . The kind sincerity of her manner as well as her truly forgiving disposition , excited the deepest sympathy for her sufferings in the minds of all present , and Mr . Norton kindly directed that she should not want for anything which ber situation required , and be should see them paid for . — -The prisoner woe again reminded , and sent back to Hoisemong « r-lane gaol .

      WESTMINSTER . —James Mortimer , shopman to Mr . Saunders , of No , 26 , King ' s-road East , cheesemonger , was finally examined , charged with plundering his employer to an enormous extent . The prisoner had been six months in the service of the prosecutor , during nearly the whole of which time , according to bis own confession , he bad been robbing him . The accused owed his dttection to the circumstances of keeping late hours and indulging in expeasirehabits , which became known to his master , added to his pocketbook having been found , by au entry in which , in the prisoner ' s handwriting , it was clear that be was in the habit of supplying persons with goods on his own acconut . Mr . Saunders , in order to ascertain whether his suspicions were well-founded , got a friend to mark some money and send it to the shop in payment for goods on the morning of the 2 * th , and on finding

      by an examination of the till shortly afterwards that thgre was none of it there , accused the prisoner with robbing him , and four of the marked shillings and a half-crown were found in his possession . Mr . Sauuders then charged him with stealing goods , end suppl ying persons , on bis own account , with them , when prissner admitted the fact , and snid he had carried the game on for five months , and it appeared , by his private entry , that 481 bs . o < butter , which was only a part of his immense depredations , bad been supplied to one person . Prijoner , who made no defence , was committed on the charges of stealing the marked money , » nd supplying two separate quan . tities of butter , and neglecting to account for the proceeds . Some idea may be formed of the extent of the prisoner ' s depredations , by a slip of paper found in his pocket-book , in which by a gig , tavern bills , cigars , &e ., he had disbursed no less a sum Mian £ 3 6 s , on one Suudny .

      TO THE SliARE&OLDEftS OF THE CHARTEB D ISTRlCT ° MPANy ' ' THE LEI 0 ES " Bbithrkn , — There iB onexaore pointnpon wVich the late Con-XSuAir 1 ? cided ' to ? hich I * i « n to direct your especial attention . In the original plan it wa » prort tel l } f Und V » * >« w * old , with the right reserved to you of converting the awne into freehold by purchase at a certain price , by instalments , whenever youhad the pecuniary ability so to do . This was certainl y a great advantage , and n powerful » pur to industry and sobriety ; but during this period the collar of slavery was rivetted round your necks ; the foul brand was upon your shoulders . Sensual comforts you might enjoy , but still vou were

      serfs . This clog then , thanks to the wisdom of Mr . O'Connor , is to be taken at once from your ancles ; the Land is to be conveyed to you at once in feesimple , with a reserved rent to cover the outlay ; the right of th « Vote is at once conferred upon you , and you enter each of von into your paradise UNSH AKELLED AND FREE ! It is the foundation stone of the first and great Chartist principle , the harbinger of the emancipation of the millions , But this beautiful prospect is not without its gloom ; this brilliant sun is not without a cloud , and it is with intense pain , that my duty imperatively impells me to stand forth asthepublio accuser of my brethren , the wealth producing operatives , alas ! too generally and the neglect I deplore is as grave as it is general .

      In all towns , in allivillages , there are local officers , varying with the population , from Mayors with Corporations , down U petty Constable Overseers and Headboroughs < and these are appointed for the most part by the election of the residents or parishioners possessing certain qualifications , which require registration before they can be exercised , and these qualifications the major part of you possess , and can with ease , by registration , possess yourselves of the power to exercise . And have you done this ? No—Is it your , ignorance of this power which has prevented you ? No , it is not . —It has been dinned in your ears from the platform and in conversation , till the repetition becomes nauseous . Your mouths are ever full of complaints of the tyranny and oppression of

      these petty upstarts , and the newspapers crammed with horrifying instances of cruelty and brutality , from Andover Union upwards and downwards , while you whine and crawl at the feet of your oppressors like a beaten spaniel , and like tbe tame spaniel lick the hand that smites you . We know nothing . of the future , andean augur nothing but from the past and the present , and I ask you , with saduess at heart , what can your most ardent friends hope when your full rights are obtained for you , when they see with what neglect those already in your power are treated f Once more then , for the sake of Heaven and of Earth , despise not the warning ; rouse yourselves from the effects of this Lethean opiate , j which has benumned your energies , and stultified your

      understanding : rise again in your moral dignity , renovate the hopes of those who love and care for you , and add to the consternation and dismay which already reign in the camp of your enemies . I have another duty to perform , which I cannot by any means omit ; it ig to bring before you Ihe situation of Mr . 0 Connor . To recapitulate what he , our more than Father , has done for the millions who toil , woHld be to doubt your memories , or depreciate your understanding . It is sufficient to say , that no philanthropist of the past or present time , has never yet contemplated , even in his dreams , a plan so magnificent as he has not only established , but actually carried out to an extraordinary extent , for the benefit and never ending advantaees of the onAMti ™

      classes of this empire ; nor is there , I am well persuaded , another man to be found possessing equal moral and physical powers for carrying it out to its completion : and this , let it be ever remembered , without fee or reward at the present , or prospective for the future . In the prosecution of this object he has expended thousands , and is now necessitated to call upon us . And for what » Not for a pecuniary gift , but for the payment of a debt incurred on our account . It is not the gift of gratitude , but the demand of Justice . And shall this appeal be in vain f A thouaand times : NO . Let mo not hear of inability ; it is the will and not the amount . The divine founder of our religion preferred the mite of the widow to thfr treasures of the rich . It is not

      personal , but principle . For my own part , I » m as poor as tbe poorest amongst you , and I have never received a pecuniary benefit from him to the amount of one shilling , yet such is my feeling of his invaluable services , that could a cane occur where it might be acceptable , I would cheerfully present him with a moiety ol' my last penny ; divide with him my last potatoe , and share with him the bason of gruel , which so often forms my midday and evening meal . You have received equal benefits from his exertions , " Go ye and do likewise . " In concluding my address to you , I feel bound to present to you my thanks for the confidence which i n duced you tojelect me your representative to the iate Conference , where matters the most important to your

      interests were discussed and settled ; and it is more pleasing , as I am a personal stranger to the greater portion of you , and must have arisen from your approbation of my previous public conduct , of which you have many opportunities of judging . I have bet n now in the movement more than sixty years ; the friend of Cartwright , Hardy , HorneTooke , Thelwall , mid others , the shining lights of bygone days , of whom none remain but myself and my junior friend the venerable Mr . Thomas Preston ; and I trust I may be allowed to say , without the censure of egotism , that from my early youth up , 1 have trod the bright path of democracy , nor have severed from nrincinln

      during that long period , and I have received the usual reward of slander , of obloquy , of persecution , and pecuniary loss . These things I do not regret , and I say with pride , that I have resisted the temptation of the briber on more occasions than one or two , and spurned the dross offered in payment for a dereliction from principle . My reward is that of an approving conscience , and my consoiation , when I depart , that I ha , ve endeavoured to leave the world better than I found it . I close with the ardent wish to all that they may find the forthcoming year better than the expired one , and to my brother Churtists that their perseverance and zeal may add millions more to our ranks . I subscribe myself as before , Your faithful Servant , T . R . Siuri . 30 , Sanney Gate , Leicester , 5 th Jan ., 1847 .

The landed proprietors of Sligo , iaclu-iing Colonel Knox Gore , the lieutenant of the county , Sir Robert Gore Booth . Bart ., Mr . Jotra Wynne ( one of the Devon Commissioners , ) Mr . Edward Cooper , of Markree , and Mr . Charles O'Hara , have , by resolutions agreed to at a meeting held on the 23 rd ult . recorded their thanks to Her Majesty ' s Ministers for the liberal propfeitions embodied in the Treasury Minute of the 1 st December , and declared their intention to avail themselves without delay of its salutary provisions . And they 'further resolved , that they considered it absolutely necessary that increased facilities should be afforded to the owners of estates encumbered with debt of selling portions of their property with as little delay as possible . VOLUKTABT EIUKF . Although tbe number of persons employed on the public works are greatly increased since the return published four or five weekB since , and although draining and other productive works are beginning to afford a new and far better source of employment , BtiH toe destitution has so radidly extended , and the demands for more employment are so urgent , that the Commissioners of the Board of Works find it exceedingly difficult—nay , impossible—to draw eff the labourers from the road-work . Some of the public works had been stopped in the hope that the labourers might be absorbed upon the adjoining estates in thorough drainage or general farming work ; but the Commissioners were constrained to resume a portion of those works , or commence new one ? , as the only alternative to preserve the destitute labourers from starvation .

      And even still meetings are held , urgently demanding an extension of public works . In the east half barony of Innishowen , Clonmany , and Donagh , county Donegal , the relief committee assembled some days since and forwarded a memorial t « the Lord-Lieutenant , complaining of delay on the I » rt of the Board of Works , and declaring that" if ft tweedy remedy be not afforded , we snail shortly see the frightful scenes which famine and pestilence are producing in the south of the kingdom , for already fever and dysentery are beginning to prevail . " In reply to this memorial , Mr . Redingtoo , the undersecretary , states that the Lord-Lieutenant has " called the particular attention of the commissioners to the state of the district . "
