It appears that on the previous afternoon the prisoner was observed on the road near to Benton-brid ge , with the child in her arms , and was seen to throw the child over the battlements ; it fell into a trough filled with water , whi ^ n the parties who bad witnessed the transaction hastened to the spot , and took the ohild to a cottage , where it was put into a warm bath , and other means of resuscitation resorted to , with success . After hearing the evidence the prisoner was committed for trial .
Mubdeb at Maidenhead , Berks . —A shocking murder was perpetrated last week at Boyn-hill , a village near Maidenhead . A labouring man , named John Cannon , residing at Boyne-hill , has for the last two years taken as a lodger a relative of his wife , Bamed Isaac Lee , who has always shown certain indications of weak intellect . The lunatic having been left in the house with a little girl about four years of age , a granddaughter of John Camion's , he ornelly murdered the poor child it is supposed by knocking its head against the floor , and afterwards kicking it about the room . Lee was taken before the magistrates , and committed to tnke his trial at the next assizes .
Murder in Derbyshire . —On Saturday last Selina Ride was committed for the murder of her illegitimate offspring . The facts of the case are these : —On tho 3 rd of December last two men discovered the body of a child in the canal , near the Derby railway station . They immediately got the body out of the water , and found it to be that of a g irl about three years of age , with a brick wrapped in a cotton handkerchief , securely fastened round the child ' s waist , apparently to secure the body being sunk . A coroner ' s inquest was held , and a verdict of wilful murder returned against some person or persons unknown . Nothing
occurred to throw any light on the subjeot until last week , when a woman was apprehended on snspioion of having murdered the child . Her name is Selina Ride ; her husband is a wheelwright by trade , and worked with his father , at the village of Weston Underwood , near Derby , at which place the . woman was apprehended . On Saturday ¦ he was brought up for final examination , at the policeoffice , Derby , before the Mayor ; and after hearing a quantity of evidence , which went to show that the murdered child was hers , and to lead to prave suspicions that she was instrumental in effecting its death , she was committed for trial on the charge of wilful murder .
CnoBcn Robbert . —Information has been given that the parish church of Kilg . irran , near Cardigan , had been entered and robbed of a silver communion cup , very old , and bearing the latin inscription "Poeulum eccleiia deEillgeran . " Dariso Incendiary Firks . —Information has been roceived that the stables , out building ? , and farm belonging to Lady Teifwytt , at Girtton , Salop , had been set on fire , and , together | witb . ajlarge quantity of farm produce , a pony , and several other animals totally consumed . Also that a number of hay stacks , of Lee Hall , Woolton , had been set on fire and seventy tons of hay destroyed . There was no doubt but that both fires were the work of incendiaries , and £ 200 is offered for such information as will lead to their detection .
Fearful and Extensive Fires on thb Sohth-Westbbn RiiLWAi EMBiXKMBsis . —In many places between Rugby , Watford , and London , the turf , shrubs , trees , &c , on the slopes of the North Western line of railway , are either burnt or are burning with remarkable rapidity . On Mohday more than 100 burning plots were observed blazing , destroying every thing in its course , and defying the utmost efforts of a number of men who were employed to extinguish the fire . , Fibe at Lobd Pootman ' s Counibt Sbat . —A fire broke out on Sunday afternoon in the massion of Lord Portman .
at Orchard Portman , a rural village near Taunton : A portion of the builaing was in course of repair , a new wing being about to be added , but the remaining portion of the premises were occupied by Mr . Andrews , as steward to Lord Portman during his residence in town . It is supposed the Sre originated in the kitchen chimney , which communicated , in some manner unexplained , with the joists and flooring of an upstair room . There being a good supply of water , the flames were subdued before any very great amount of damage was occasioned , and most of the furniture was removed uninjured . Tha property was not insured , but a few hundred pounds will cover the loss .
The Condemned Convicts at Winchester . —The neighbourhood of the County gaol has been throughout the day crowded by persons from all parts of the county , in expectation that the convicts Eyres and Semish , who were sentenced to death at the last assizes , would be executed as arranged . The scaffold was erected at the usual place of execution , and all the preliminaries had been effected for carrying out tho sentence , when tbe governor received a communication containing a respite for fourteen days . This step has , we understand , resulted from an application that had been made to the Home Office on the convicts ' behalf , on the ground that they had been convioted chiefly on the testimony of one witness , and that of a woman of bad repute . The application was referred to Mr . Justice Talfourd , and the result proves that the learned iud « e was
not himself quite satisfied , from the fact that when he was on hi 3 way to Salisbury from this town , on the Sunday after the trial , he left his carriage on passing through Romsey , and , accompanied by a guide , visited the spot where the unfortunate man Soffe met with his death . The prisoners persisted in their innocence . Fatal Rahwat Accident . —An accident , which resulted fatally , occurred on Monday on the Brighton , Chichester , and Portsmouth Railway . An old man named Scott ; an agricultural labourer , while trespassing on the line , was struck by the 2 . 10 train from Bri ghton to Portsmouth , and instantaneously killed . The man , it appeared , was extremely deaf , and it is supposed did not hear the steam whistle which was sounded for some time previous to the occurrence of the accident . The coroner ' s jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death . "
The Height of Impudence . —On Monday night , some audacious thief entered the house of Inspector Ledsam , of the Salford police , by means of skeleton keys , and contrived to steal 8 s . in money , and three broodies . This makes the fourth time the same officer has had his house similarly entered during the past twelve months , and , what is more remarkable , the house is exactly opposite the principal entrance of the police office , distant from it something under a dozen yards—and the inspector himself was on duty in the office at the very time ! Mtsteriods Case . —On Tuesday afternoon an inquest was held at Wad worth , near Donoaster , before Mr . W . Marratt , coroner , and a respectable jury , on the body of a girl named Hannah Adams , aged nineteen year * , who had come by her death under somewhat mysterious circumstances . The following declaration , made by the poor girl in the presence of a clergyman and magistrate , will explain the facts bo far as they are known : —
On Sunday , the 1 st of February , I was in the service of Mrs . Sneppara , ofBalby . A little after seven o ' clock in the evening I had occasion to go Into the yard , when a man , to me unknown . gptholoofme , I then made a noise , when anothetman , ^ howa » aleo a stranger to me , put one hand over my mouth , and the other on the back of my head . They ihen took me to a little gate in the Earden , through , which the ? carried toe to a large gate in the croft below . They then threw me over that gate into a lane , when I screamed as I had doae before until my mouth was stopped . After being thrown over the gate I got up and ran away , ~ when they fol . lowed and caught me . They asked me if I had got any money and I said , I had only 6 a ., ' which I gave to them . They then carried me along a lane into afield at the back of Mr . Dearden ' s house , where they threw me down , ana one man held me while the Other attempted to take liberties with me . I made all tho resistance in
my power , when one of them get npon hit knees , and poured something out of a bottle into ' my mouth , which seemtd like boiling water-scalding my chin and burning my clothes . I was not able to get up , but they pulled me up and shook me about until I vim nek . 1 then became quite unc 3 nseious ,: and don't know what they did to me afterwards When I came to myself they opeHed the gate tolet me out of fte field , when one of the men said to the other , 'Let ' s cut her throat . Irepliea , « For God ' s sake don't cut my throat , you have done plenty to me already . ' The other man said . ' Let her go , she s some poor bodv'sbairn . ' The man who wanted to cut my throat then said , « Go away with what thouhas't gotten . ' I went unconsciously , without knowing which way I wai gang , until I sot alittle past Mr .

This statement was partially corroborated at the inqueit , witnesses proving the disordered state of the girl ' s dress and the appearance of vitriolic acid on her chin and neck and it appeared from the testimony of one of the medical men that for the kit fortnight the deceased had vomited portions of the mucous membrane and other viscera Th « jury returned a verdict , « That tho deceased had died from the effects of some mineral acid on the stomach ,: but how administered there was not sufficient evidence ; to 8 uOW * EcannunoAL Ikquir * . at Hebefobd .-a commission hl

Deoeased was married about three years ago to an excavator , named Thomas Smith , but inconsequence of Smith having another wife , Laycock left him , and has since been cohabiting with a person named James Gledhill , a poacher . They resided in a batch of houses adjoining the Sheffield and Wakefield turnpike-road , about 200 yards from tho place where tho bodies were found . It is stated that he was in the habit of ill-using the poor woman . On Monday he was drinking at Barnsley , and when he went home he beat her so muoh that the neighbours interfered , but not so as to prevent kirn from continuing his ill-treatment . Gledhill haa been taken into custody .
" CUB 3 INO " A MaOISTBATE BY A CtBBGIMAN . —A most 6 Xtraordinary , novel , and exciting scene was witnessed at the Flordon station , on Saturday evening . When the five o ' clock train from Norwich arrived there , tho passengers were muoh surprised at seeing the Rev . Mr . Moore , the curate of the parish , standing in the pasiage of the stationhouse , dressed in his canonicals . It waB , however , soon understood that he was waiting there to " curse " a neighbouring magistrate , who was'expected by the train , and > who had eiven him some presumed offence . When the
individual alluded to was giving up his ticket to the station master , the reverend gentleman thus addressed him : — " I inflict a curse upon this man . I curae you ; I curse yoBr wife ; I curse your children ; I ourse all you have—may your children be fatherless and vagabonds , and beg their bread , " &c , &c . ; and thus he went on until the " cursed man " drove off . We understand that the matter has been laid before the bishop ; and that the reverend gentleman , in default of finding sureties to keep the peace , was committed on Sunday night to the castle , by Edward Howes , Esq . —Norwich Mercury . __ __ „ m ____
DlSTDRB&KCKS AT THB GSUT WE 9 TKRK COTTON WORKS , — On Wednesday a case , which lasted the entire day , was heard in the Bristol County Court , arising out of a tumultuouB riot which occurred at the Great Western Cotton Works on the 29 th of February last . Mr . Nash appeared for the plaintiff , and Mr . Stone , of the western circuit , for the defendant . The action was broug ht to recover damages for an alleged assault and battery . Tho pleas for the defenoe were " Not guilty and justification . " After hearing a great deal of very conflicting evidence , the iury ultimately returned a verdict for the defendant . The case created a great deal : of interest , as , had this action been decided in favour of the workpeople , about fifty other actions would have been brought against tho managers . Mr . Ashworth on his way home was mobbed bj the people , and compelled
to take temporary refuge in a public-house . Dakoerous PRACTiCE . —On Tuesday morning , Mr . Molyneaux , an officer of the customs at Plymouth , and his boat's crew were placed in a perilous position by the want of attention , it is feared , on the part of an officer . Mr . Molyneaux had been from Millbay to Devonport , and was returning tO' Millbay : on arriving between Drake ' s Island and the point at the Longroom Barracks , he saw a company of the 19 th Regiment in the act of firing at a target placed as usual at the point overhanging the sea . Mr . Molyneaux proceeded without an ; apprehension expecting that the bugle would be souaded and the customary notice for the soldiery to suspend , the firing until the vessels or boats passing within range should have got beyond reach of danger . Instead of tlm notice being given on Mr . Molyneax ' s
boat passing , the trumpeter simply waved his hand , but which was taken no notice of by . the officer in command , and the soldiers at this juncture fired ; the result was that several balls dropped near the boat , one of them passing right between the man at the stroke oar and Mr . Molyneaux , who was at the helm ,- and who were only sitting about three feet apart from . each other , the ball dropped about one foot ou the other side of the boat . The men , as might be expected , were very much alarmed . Mr . Molyneaux immediately pulled towards the shore , and proceeded to have an interview ' with the commanding officer , to whom he told the circumstance , and the dangerous position in which be had been placed .- Mr . Molyneaux has since put himself into correspondence with the commanding , officer of the district , Maior-General the hon . Henry Murray .

an action to reoover damages- for a breach of promise of marriage . —The plaintiff in this action was a cook , and in theyear 3 l 848 and 1849 she filled ; a . situation in thnfc capacity in the family of a gentleman named Clark , residing at Peckbam .

During the courtship , the . defendant sent several valentines and other poetical epistles . vto the plaintiff , but as she unfortunatel y was unable . to ' read a good deal of their intended effect was , doubtless , ; destroyed . —Evidence was given to proye : these facts , and it appeared that the defendant had Btated to one of the witnesses that an uncle had died and left him £ 1 ) 000 , and after this coolness was observed on his part towards the plaintiff . . It appeared that the latter was five or six ysars older than the defendant . —Mr . James said he waB quite sure this action would never haye been heard of . i ^ had i not been for the silly boast of the defendan t that his uncle had left him £ 1 , 000 , for which there was not the least foundation , and the faot would no doubt ' have been prtfved if it had been capable of proof . The case , he submitted , was of a most trumpery character . What were the facts ? A butcher ' s boy—for he reall y was nothing elsein the course of his business falls in love with a lovely cook which was to blame it was not for him to sav . but nnnka
were proverbially susceptible . ( Laughter . ) Whether it was owing to the heat of the kitchen , or to the peculiar nature of their profession , he could not say ; but certainlv they did continuall y hear of the affections of cooks for policemen and Life Guardsmen and persons of that stamp , aid in the present instance it appeared to be a butohev ' s boy . ( A laugh . ) Ho contended that there had been nothine but a little harmless flirtation , and all that the plaintiff had lost was her butcher ' s boy . ( Renewed laughter . ) He then leferred to the poetical epistles sent by the defendant , and observed that , inasmuch as the plaintiff could not read , she could not have been very much affected by them , and the learned counsel caused a roar of laughter in court by referring to some of tbe letters . In one of them the defendant , after talking . abo / ut "foaming seaB , ' - '" loyin ? hearts '' ¦ and such mktters . concluded bv \* Mna . nb » L ^ . lLV
