John Croule :it described as an engineer, was charged with feloniously and milicionaly setting fi re toe stook of bay, the property of Thomas Jelly. Mr. Daley conducted the prosecution. The prosecutor in this case oocnpies a farm wiled the Grove Farm at Kentish Town, which is managed by his son, and it appe ared that about half-put two o'clock on the morning of the let of January a stack of hay that was upon the farm was discovered to be on fi re, before the fire could be extinguished about four lords of the hay was destroyed. A polies-constable of the S division, named Thomas Edwards, in comexpence of information that be received, went after the prisoner and stopped him, and told him be believed that he was the man who had set fire to the stack. The reply he made was " Yes, I did it, and it wee through want." The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, banded in a written paper, in which he stated that he bad been em ployed ic. her Majesty's dockyards at Portsmouth and Wool wich, but was discharged in consequence of the Admiralty order, with a number of other men. He had a wife and two children, the latter being in &dying state, and he was re duced to great &area, and was compelled to apply to the parish, and they put him to stone breaking, but this employ ment hurt his bands so much that he was obliged to pre it up. On the day in question he had gone to Kentieb Town to endeavour to find a relation, and while he was in the field be lighted his pipe clots to the stack, and accidentally set it on fire, sod he was frightened and an away. The Recorder, in summing op, said that the story now told by the prisoner was very different to the statement be made to the policeman, and it was for the jury to consider which was the more pr obable tale of the two. The j found the prisoner Guilty. The stated, In answer to a question put by the learned judge, that he had made inquiries at Wool wich-dockyard, and he had reason to believe that the pri soner's statement that he had been employed there was not true. The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that eases of this description were difficult to deal with. There was no mali cious motive undoubtedly, but at the same time a consider able quantity of property was destroyed, and the prisoner did not derive the slightest advantage from it. It was • serious offence, and he felt it his duty to order the prisoner to be kept in penal servitude for four years. Charles Fur, 25, sailor, was charged with feloniously smutting . and wounding Franamoo Placido, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. Langford conducted the prosecution. It appeared that about half-put eleven o'clock at night on the 13th December, the prisoner and a number of other sailors, some of whom were foreigners, bad been drinking at • public-house near the docks, when a quarrel took place between the prisoner and an Austrian seaman, and they fought. After • abort time the prisoner left off fight ing and went to the house where he lodged and procured a knife, and then ran again into the street, no doubt with the intention of assaulting the man with whom he bad previously been in conflict with the knife. He had, however, got quite out of the way, but, meeting the prosecutor, who was also a foreigner, and who, it was stated, had some resemblance to the Austrian, the prisoner made • rush at him and stabbed him in the shoulder. Hewes taken to the London Hospital, where it was ascertained that the injury was not of a very serious character, but this, swatting to the evidence of Mr. Apple yard, the surgeon, wasprmapally owing to the fact diddle knife had entered the body of the prosecutor in an oblique direction, and If it had entered in • straight line, the life of the prosecutor would haw been placed in imminent danger. The jury found the reisomerGeifty of unlawfully wounding. The Rworder said that the use of the knife must be dis couraged, and there was this aggravation in the case of the prieoner, that after the fight was over he had deliberately provided himmelf with the weapon for the purpose of inflict in; injury upon his opponent. He then sentenced the pri soner to be kept to hard labour for twelve mootbs. - - - John Brown, 21, hawker, was charged with a similar offence upon Henry Ricketts. Mr. Daley prosecuted ; and the prisoner was defended by Yr. Collins. In thee case it appeared that the prisoner and the prosecutor end a number of other persons were at • public-hones in the Hackney road, and there was no doubt that the whole of the party were more or less the war for liquor, and the prisoner and the prosecutor quar relled and proposed to fight for • sovereign, and money was produced by them The landlord, very properly, would not allow any fig hting to take place in his hour, and he turned the whole the party into the 'lnst. The moment they got out of the house the prosecutor received several slight stabs upon different pans of the body, but none of them were of a serious character. The evidence as to the prisoner being the person who inflicted the injuries wan somewhat refused, but it appeared that the pruner ran away after the occurrence, and it wee pretty clear that the prosecutor could not have been wounded by anyone else. The jury again returned • verdict of Guilty ot unlawfully wounding, and the rme punishment was awarded as in the former case, namely, twelve months' imprineameat and bard labour. Mr. Brett, qc., who is specially retained with Mr. M'Culloch to conduct the prosecution against George Rll.llOll, the owner of a merchant vessel, and James Bettie, the captain of the mime vessel, form • • together torte fraud the Universal Marine Company of 8001. by means of • fraudulent policy of assurance, applied to the coat that the one might be taken on Thursday. Mr. Sleigh, who is instructed for the defence, said he had no objection to make to the application, and the Recorder consequently appointed Thursday for the trial. Harry Boss, 52, desortled u an agent, was indicted for misdemeanour, in having unlawfully obtained • quantity of table cloths, value 1081., from Richard Bell and others, by false pretences, with intent to defraud. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. F. Seeley conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Kemp was counsel for the defendant. From the opening statement of the leveed counsel for the prosecution, it appeared that the prosecutors carry on business as merchants at Glasgow, and the offence imputed to the defendant was that he had obtained • considerable quantity of property from them under the pretence that be was engaged in trade in the City of London, and that this property was to be used for the boot fide purlieus of trade, whereas in point of fact his pretended place of busi ness was • mere sham, and that his object was to defraud the prosecutors, or any one else from whom he could obtain property. It appeared that in the mouth of June last the defendant engaged offices in Laurence Pountney-lane, and he stated that his name was Lovell, and that his business was that of a general merchant, and very shortly afterwards the name of Lovell, Son, and Co. was painted on the office door, and the prisoner and another man from this time came to the office almost every day, and the latter appeared to act as clerk. I On the 22nd and 26th of September it appeared that • letter *old Lovell, Son, and Co., was pent to the prosecutors at Belfast, requesting them to send some samples of damask table cloths to the 015001 in Laurence Poontney-lane, as such articles were required by that firm to complete a shipping order. In consequence of this letter, Mr. Moor. bead, the London agent of the prosecutors, went to Laurence Pountney-lane, and inquired for Mr. Lovell, and a person who was in the outer office, and who ap peared to be acting as clerk, told him that be was in the inner office, and be went there, and saw the defendant, who said that his name was Lovell. Some conversation then took place, and iu consequence of the representations made by the defendant it appeared that • small quantity of goods was sent to the office. Shortly afterwards some further negotiations took place, and the defendant expressed a desire to have a larger quantity of goods, which he re quired to be pecked for shipment, and it was arranged that these goods should be supplied, but Mr. Moor head distinctly told him that as he was a and this was the first bilabials transaction they manger dt r ii together, be most insist upon receiving cash for the goods. The defendant agreed to these terms, and the articles that were ordered by him were sent in, but when application was made for payment the defendant required a delay of ten days. He was told that this was contrary to the arrangement, and that cash must be given, upon which the defendant said he could not pay for the goods until they were shipped. Mr. Moorhead told him that if he did not pay for the goods, se it had been agreed be should do, be should insist upon bevies them back, and he left, and a person was sent to fetch them, but he was unable to obtain pcseessiou of the goods, and it appeared that within • very short time afterwards nearly the whole of the pro- perty that had been obtained from the prosecute!' coder the circumstances above narrated, was pawned by the defendant at the shops of different pawnbrokers. It also appeared that the defendant left the offices in Laurence Pounteey-lane without paying any rent, and nothing was left behind but the empty cases in which the goods had been peeked for shipment in oonsequeece of the instructions of the defendant. When he was taken into custody by Reggae; the detective officer of the City of Ludes police, upon a warrant greeted by Mr. Aldermaa Homphery, the defendant •le informed that he was charged with obtain ing a quantity of table cloths by false pretences under the pretence that he was carrying on business as Lovell sad Co. ;he said that he was not " Lovell," but he was merely the servant of the firm. He was then asked where Lovell was, and he replied that he did not know ; and when be was asked what had become of the property, be mid that it was pawned, and he at the same time produced a somber of duplicates referring to it. Mr. Kemp addressed the jury at some length on behalf of the defendant, sod the answer be endeavoured to esta blish to the ‘ -it arse against him was that he was not the prioeipal is the affair, but was acting under the instructions of other parties. The Recorder h trine summed The jury shout immediately retuned • verdict of Guilty. Huggett, the detective, informed the court that from inquiries he bad made respectiog the defendant, he had no doubt that for several vears he had been Nipped, with other persons, in carrying on • most extensive system of swindling by establishing fictitious firms and obt•lnjigg goods as a large amount farm dirforost trachoma. The Recorder, in psmiag sentence said that the defendant had been convicted of a most mischievous offices in a com mercial community, and he ordered him to be kept in penal servitude for three yearn. Direr Moore 18, pleaded guilty to two Indictments, chargingSl I 1 m him wt . tit forging orders for the payment of mall Mr. Me e urged in mitigation of punishment that the prisoner was very respectably connected, but he had become his own master at a very early age, and this had probably led to his being placed in his present posttion. He added that the prisoner was at present a ward in Chancery, and would upon coming of age be entitled to a sum of mousy which would probably be forfeited by his conviction. The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to twelve months' hard labour. 2/07dosioole, 42, pleaded guilty to two indictments, ftrhim with forging acceptances to bills of exchange respective slims of a and 51. Hr. Metcalfe was counsel for the prosecution ; and Mr. Linton appeared for the defence. The render, it appeared, was employed by a loan office to make inquiries se to the position of penona who offered themselves sa borrowed or sureties for loans. He took ad vantage of this position to introduoe fictitious promissory notes to the society, and forge the names of the parties to these instruments, and it was stated that the prisoner had done this in eighteen or twenty instances. He was sentenced to four years' penal servitude. _ THE 1 , 011012 T UPON TEI HANK OP 113 GLAND.

He then asked to see the distillery, and the clerk was about to show the prisoner, who then said be could not stop, and left with the other man, and the prosecutor's clerk soon afterwards found that the cash box containing the gold in question and about 4001. in valuable securities had been taken and an emptylone sub stituted. The clerk some days afterwards meeting the pri soner in town gave him in custody. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the sentence was deferred. In the ease of W. Wood, tried the day before yesterday in the Third Court, we are requested to Mate it was not the learned oommisioner who tried the nese that uappod it, but the jury, suer hearing some remarks from Mr. int Ballantine. THE LACE PA& 'SIRE IN SOHO. • Yesterday afternoOti Mr. Bedford resumed and coooluded hie inquiry Into the circumstances attending the deaths of Breslin 'ming childreu, namectSpesoer, who died in mhoe oldie firs is Portlaadstreet, Bobo, on Friday, the 26th of December. In consequence of the great interest which has been excited in the parish, the adjourned inquiry was held in the Vestry-hall, Piccadilly. Samuel Joseph S the father of the deceased children, was first alled. His said that he and his farad . 1 had resided in the top room of the house, No. 6, P ortla street., Soho. About four deleck ea the afternoon of Dec. I 26, being ill, ha lay down in bask The children were then in the one room they occupied, and that wee the last he saw of them prior to the outbreak of the fire, although while lying in his bed he heard them ay their prayers and sing • little hymn before they retired to rest. They had bees told that they were to get rep early is the morning, as some of them bad to return to the parish schools on Battersea. common. He was awakened by the alarm of fire. He west to the room door and the smoke almost k noc k e d him down. He flew to the w indow, opened it, and remained there five or six minutes. The &mei were then terrific, and mine up into his face. There was no engine there at that time. He went to the bed when the children were lying, and felt them, but he was so thoroughly exhausted that he could render them no assistance. Samuel, one of the boys, 141 yearn old, was paralysed and idiotic, and slept by himself in a ' little bed in the corner. A Juror—How did you maps? Witneas--Over the parapet. of three houses. A Juror—Did your wife make her escape in the same way that you did? Wittiess—l don't know. I certainly was not aroused by her. Sarah , the mother of the deceased children, was then and gave her evidence under painful feelings al agitation. She stated that on the afternoon of Friday, Dec 26, her husband lay down, and she we n t w ith a friend and her children to the Lowther-arcade to buy them some trinkets, u they were to return to school on the following morning. The children went to bed about half-past nine or a little before ten. After she had put them to bed she made up • fire, as she was • going to sit up tall night, her husband being ill. She sat in a chair by the foot of the bed towards the fire-place. She supposed she fell asleep. bat she could not remember. She knew no more until her husband exclaimed, " There is • fire !" He opened the window and exclaimed,l" Good God, Sarah, it hour house!" She knew nothing about taking up her baby, although she appeared to have done so. Three of her children lay at the foot of the bed in which their father was sleeping, the others at the ride, with the exception of the elder, who had a little bed to himself. A Juror—How did you make your escape? Wittman said she remembered going down the first flight of dairy, but nothing more until she reached the street door which she found fastened. The smoke was so dean that she could see nothing. A Juror remarked that neither of the parents appeared to have dote anything in the way of attempting to save the children. The Coroner deprecated such a remark, and thought it would be better for the juryman M wait before he expressed an sn trong opinions on the case. Pearce, of Little Dean-etrest, who had been in the habit of taking care of the she and parlour, which were occupied by Mr. Chard, a jeweller, and her ace, and Mr. Chard himself, were then examined. Mr. Geom.:l . olnd was called, and said he lived at 9, Leiioi-ezeet, Burton-crescent. He said he was in the house in Portland-street between nine and half-past on the even ing of the 26th December. The premises were then in their usual state. He merely looked about for a ring that he bad mislaid, but he was not there more than ten minutes. He had made every inquiry as to the cause of the fire, sad should very much like to know how it occurred. He left the place quite safe, and that was all be could say. A Juror (Mr. Cox)—You have lost all your property, I believe? The Juror—Were you insured for the property ? Witness—Yes ; for 2001. for Portland•etreet. I am also insured for the property at my other house. The Juror—When did you insure for Portland-street ? Witness—About five months ago. The Juror—ln what office ? Witness—The County. William Lobb, police-oonstable C 73, raid that about a quarter.past eleven on the evening of the 26th December he was on duty in Portland-street, and saw the Are at No. 6. He saw the flames rising through the shutters. He found the front door leading into the passage pertly open, and he closed it. Sergeant Allen soon afterwards arrived and burst open the door, upon which six or seven people rushed out. Witness then went up stairs to the second floor and brought down an elderly woman, who, however was very anxious to go up again to get her bonnet. He searched several other rooms and the kitchen, but found no more people. There wee great heat an d smoke. There was no appearance of fire in the kitchen. In a few mo ments after this the whole house was in flames. When he came out be saw the fire-esospe and two engines, but neither of the engine. was at work, the turnoock not having arrived, and no water therefore being obtainable. Five or six minutes elapsed before the engines pot into play. He was not aware that there were children in the top Boor of the house ; but if he had known it he did not think he could have reached them, on account of the smoke. The fire-escape did not arrive until a quarter of an hour after the outbreak of the fire, although the station was only 300 or 400 yards off. Some conversation took place on the subject of reward' given to the police for saving property, and some of the jury said that similar encouragements were not held out for wing life. Superintendent Hannent put in the instructions which the police received, and which appeared to be very explicit. The Foreman of the Jury said that the raring of life should be the first object, and the saving of property the second. He thought the police ought to be directed to send for the fire-escapes in the first instance. The Superintendent said it would be impossible on all occasions to send for the fireescape first. Mr. Low, the Secretary of the Society for the Protection of Life fro m Fire, mid the children io the second floor were saved by the escape. Sergeant Allen, 20 C, said the police were matured that all the people were out of the house, otherwise the fire-escape might have been put up to the top floor. The Vestry Clerk mid that, by direction of the parochial authorities, a professional gentleman had made a close sur vey of the premises, but he had ascertained nothing more than that the fire began under the board in the trout of the shop, near the gea-meter. R. H. Gatshoum, an engineer of the London Fire Brigade, stationed in Wellsetreet, mid he was called to the fire by a little boy about twenty minutes past eleven, and was there in about five minutes afterwards. At that time the flames were mounting up into the air. There was no water. He found a lace and pulled up the plug, but no water could be He sent off for the turooock, who arrived in about seven minutes afterwards. He did not know of any other plugs, as there were no marks to inform firemen where they were. The turncock found one where there was water, and immediately set the e 'nes to work to ex. Magni& the fire. Captain Shaw and himself went in and masted to Ming the people out. Curtain Shaw, the superintendent of the Fire Brigade, rid that about half-put 11 o'clock he was called to the fire by telegraph. The tire-escape was up to the top of No. 8 bona.. He took a look round, and, thinking it wee the most important part, went up. Having got in by the window he tried to make his way by the back door, and in his way he pot his hand on the bead of one of the children. He then put his hand round and found three more children on the bed. He then bad to go to the window for a mo ment to get some fresh air, and then one of his men who had entered called his attention to another body on the floor, and then to another in a little bed in • corner close by. All the children lay as they slept. The flooring in that room was very little burnt, but the whole of the floor ing io the room beyond was burnt away. The front room dr. which the children were was alight all round, but the flooring had not been destroyed. Undoubtedly the fire began in the front put of the shop, but he did not think it was possible to discover the origin of the tire. By a Juror—The beds in which the children were lying were nut much buret. The children were suffocated rather than burnt. The outer clothing of the beds was scorched, but not burnt through. He beard a very good aooeunt of the fire-escape men. The first be knew of the children being in the room was when be put his hand on them. By the Coroner—At present every plug did not represent a supply of water. If there could be a constant supply of water it would be better in cases of tire, but he did not know that it was practicable. As a general rule the turncocks ar rived before the engines. There were a great many turn owls and very few engines. Thomas Clarke, the fire-escape man stationed in Oxford street, said he had grestdifficulty in gettiog to the fire. There were a vast number of people about the place. Most of them were half-drunk, and he never saw so disorderly a crowd. Directly he put his escape to the windows, the crowd got on to it, and he had to get over their backs in order to getup. Had it not been for these obstructions, he might have saved the children in the top floor; as it was he very nearly lost those in the second floor. Newman, the turocock of the district, said he came directly he was ealloi. Lazarus Howe, police-constable 95 C, said he went to Dreyer, the turnoock, in Naylor's-yard, Silveretreet, St. j imm ies, and rang his bell. A woman threw up the win dow, and he told her of the fire. Sean; DO signed any one moving, he rang again, and Denyer put his heed out of the window. He told him to come directly, as there was a fire in Portland-street, Soho, on which Denyer said, "A go od job, too ; it's not in my district, and I shan't go." An other constable came up and heard him use the words. John Darling, 152 C, confirmed Howe statement, and said Denyer exclaimed, "A good job, too; it's not in my district, and I shan't come." Denier, who was called, said the police told him that the lire was at the top of Great Portland-street, which was near the Regent's-park. He declined to go because it was far out of Ins distnct ; and if a fire had broken oat in his own district while he was away he should have been charged with neglect of duty. Portland-street, Soho, was not even in his district, nor was it supplied by the Grand Junction Company to which he belonged. Both policemen denied that they said anything about Great Portlandetreet. They said Portland-street, Soho. ' Dr. Buzzard, who on the previous inquiry impugned bi g opinion that the children died from the shock el bane sad sot hat voiloostios, was milled, and said be adhered to that opinion, notwithstanding the evidence of Captain Shaw. Mr. William Darlington, limped victualler, of 42, Wm dour-street, said he witnessed the fire, and complained of the want of water. If there bad been a proper and early suppl ... he believed the fire might have Men confined to the Tbeoroner having summed op, the jury retired. After an abeam* of about 20 minutes. they returned into court and found that the children died from the @fleets of the fire, but considered that 110 evideoo• had been adduced to account for the origin of the tire. They severely censured the conduct of llenyer, who, they considered, ought to have given his assistance, as it wen the duty of every man to do on such occasions. — Mr. hoz, the senior churchwarden of St. James's. thanked the coroner on the part of the parochial authorities for the patience with which he had conducted the inquiry. _ . - The proceedings were then brought to • class shortly before eight o'clock. SURREY SESSIONS. The Epiphany Quarter Serious for the county of Surrey commenced yesterday morning at the Court-house, New ington-esuseway, before J. E. Johnson, Esq., chairman, J. 11, Esq., deputy chairman, and a full back of magis trates. The calendar contained the names of 30 prisoners for trial-21 for felony and 9 for misdemeanour. The state of education wan es follows —6 can neither read nor write, 3 run only read, and 21 can read and write imperfectly. After some remarks by the chairman on the ticket-of-leave system, the jury proceeded to find a number of true bills. THE POLICE COURTS. MARLBOROUGH-STRESS?. Mr. Hawley, of the firm of Hawley and Co., jewellers, Regent-street, attended before Mr. Tyrwhitt to ask his ad vice under the following circumstances : Mr. Hawley said that a foreigner called upon him and selected a quantity of goods, and ordered some of the arti cles to be engraved. and asked for a bill. He made out a bill and gave it to the person, and he left. The goods were sent home to the address given, but the person refused to pay for them, wanting to make a debt of it, and he (Mr. Hawley) bad since ascertained that on presenting his bill to a tradesman in Piccadilly the person had believing that the foreigner bad made a large purchase at his house, allowed him to h►ve a large quantity of goods. The goods be (Mr. Hawley) had prepared, having been engraved, were rendered unsaleable. irTiirwhitt .aid he could do nothing in the matter. It was a adulate thing that the goods had not been left, and be (Mr. Tyrwhitt) hoped the pram would take notice of the oceurrenee as a caution to other members of the trade. — dais Newman was charged with stealing a 51. note and 10s. at 54, New Bond.street, as follows : iris. Emily Aylmer said that she lodged with her husband at 54, New Bond-street, and about three weeks ago gave the prisoner, who was servant to the landlady, a 5/. note to change. The prisoner went out and returned, stating that she could not get change unless she purchased something. She thou gave her a half-sovereign, telling her to buy la. worth of brandy, and to keep the change of the 51. note entire. The prisoner then went out again, but never re turned. On Monday night the prisoner, however, called for her clothes, saying when asked about the money that she had given it to the landlady, and she was then given into custody. Mrs. Margaret Dunlop, landlady of the house, said the prisoner came to her house and said that she had just come from Devonshire, and that her boxes were at the railway station. She asked her (Mrs. Dunlop) to let her have some money to get them ; but she told her that she could stop that night, and that the next day she would make inquiries into her character. In the afternoon of the following day the money was given to her by Mrs. Aylmer, and she went out without her bonnet and shawl and turned. The prisoner gave her the money. She (Mrs. Dunlop) bad also miesed a ring from a box in the MOM in which prisoner slept during the night she passed with her. Mr. Twhitt remanded the prisoner for a week, stating that he had no doubt that something more would be found out concerning her. SOUTHWARK. Eliza Russell, a respectable-looking young woman with an Want in her arms, was brought up for final examination, charged with attempting to drown herself and child is the Hive: Thames, near London-bridge. It appeared horn the evidence of Police.constable 257 X that on Sunday morning week, about half-pest viz o'clock, be was on duty in Wellington-street, London-bridge, when the prisoner pared him in a hurried manner with a child in her arms, and rushed down the steps of London bridge. Suspecting her intention, he quickly foll owe d her, caught hold of her near the bottom, and asked her what she was about. She commenced crying, and said if b e would let her go she would not attempt anything rash. He accompanied her up the steps, and a abort distance on his heat, when she left him, promising to go home. A few minute. afterwards, however, he returned to the bridge, radium her rush down the steps again. He followed her, and fortunately seized hold of her just as she was about to plunge into the water. lie then took her to the station house, and on the way there she told him that she in tended to have destroyed herself and child, as the father of the latter had basely deceived her. The constable informed his worship that since the last examination he had commu nicated with her friends, who were highly respectable hard. worlds* people, and her mother was in court. The latter said that she had seen the prisoner several times in gaol in the presence of the chaplain, and she was now fully aware of the wickedness of her intention, and she had promised never to repeat such an act, if his worship would discharge her. She (the mother) would take care 1 , of bee.. the chief clerk, asked her if she knew whore to find the putative father of her child. The prisoner replied that she did not, and did not like to summer him, as he had promised her marriage, but now she believed he had married another. That so preyed on her mind at the time that she foolishly made the wicked attempt on the life of herself and infant. The magistrate seriously admonished her as to the wicked eel she had contemplated, and ordered her to be ghee ap to her mother. She immediately obtained a summons against her seducer.

The coroner of the district, Charles Duffield, Esq., yesterday opened as inquiry into the circumstances connected with the murder of the fireman Barton, at the Bawkhome Pit, in Haigh, near Wigan, on Sunday night. The inquest was held Milo Packet-house Inn, New Springs. There were present with the coroner the as chief constable, Kr. Hung, of Bootle • Superintendent Mims, of Pemberton ; Superintendent O rton, of Leigh ; Inspector Peters, of Hindley ; and G. Dogfish, Esq., J.P., surgeon. Several witnesses were in att end ance, but before say stein were taken to open the inquiry the police-oflions consulted privately with the coroner, and made inquiries of the Laird of the dimmed. The principal portion of the articka in the ash-pit of the furnace were produced before the coroner. The result of the conversation was that the coroner informed the jury that after a oonsultation with the police-officers and the family of the murdered man, he had decided not yet to open the inquiry formally. The inquest would therefore be adjourned sine die, but due notice would be given when it was thought advisable to make the evidence public. The mamas far this step are, we understand, that the police think it might very probably be prejudice' to them in their search of the murderer, if the whole of the information they have ob tained and the suspicions they hold were circulated at the present time ; and that if the impart was opened the coro ner would have to issue his order for the interment of the remains, a course which is not at present thought advisable by the officers, who wish them to remain in their hands for a short time longer. The jurors caning 's, objection, the opening of the ingest was adjourned nee die. The crowbar, with blvd upon it, and a portion of the frag ments found in the furnace, have been forwarded to Mr. J. B. Edwards, analytical chemist, of the Royal Institute, Liverpool, for analysis, and his report is daily expected. None now, have any hope that the result of his investiga tion will throw any doubt on the fact, we have pal:Caked. It may not be a fact without importance that a lunatic, named Taylor, a Dative of Aspull, the township which adjoins Haigh, on Thursday night seamed from the Wigan Workhouse, through )a window from which the Lunacy Commissioner ordered the bars to be removed, and has not rime been heard of. Nothing is more likely than that be should make to his former residence. Many perm= amid' er it far from improbable that he bits been the murderer. The peat difficulty of the police is to find a motive for the commission of the crime. Though they may have had their suspicions aroused in one or two quarters, yet we believe we are correct in stating that at prevent they have no solid ground to work upon, and their labour is specially difficult, from its being almost im possible to find a reason for the murder. The remains of the ash-pit were examined yesterday, when more half burnt bones were found, principally welded to the cinders. It was also noticed that the clinkers were in many cams stained with blood. Some of the buttons found have evi dently been upon the trawlers of the deceased, whilst others have formed part of his shirt, the latter being of the kind usually covered with linen. The county magistrates held a meeting on Monday, at Wigan, when the police officers of the district, accompanied by As sistant Chief Constable King, of Bootle, laid a state ment of the fade they had obtained before the bench. Mr. Daglish, surgeon, who has had the remains laid before him, informed his , brother magistrates that he had no doubt the fragments were the remnanta of human bones. It was stated that the Earl of Crawford and Bal cones had offered a reward of 2001. for the apprehension of the offenders, and it was decided to communicate with the Secretary of State. The following is the placard which has been !need :—" Whereas, in the night time, between nine o'clock of Friday, the 2nd, and three o'clock of Satur day the 3rd inatent, 1863, James Barton, aged 55 years, collier and engineman in the employment of the Right Hon. the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres, at the Bawkhouae or Button pit, near the Red Rock-bridge, Haigh, near Wigan, was, whilst on his duty, foully murdered by some person or persons not known, and his body burned in the furnace under the boilers—a reward of 2001. will be paid to any person who may give such information as shall lead to the apprehension and conviction of th4mtirderer or murderers." The bill is signed by Mayhew and Soo, solicitors to the earl. TEE NEWCASTLE MURDER. The inquest into the circumstances under which hfarpret Dockerty came by her death on the West Walls, on New Year's.day morning, wadi resumed on Monday atter noon. There was, as in the morning, a dense crowd i• the street in front of the polioe.station, the interest in the pro ceedings appearing to be unabated, if not intensified. The doors of the police court were kept closed, sod very few of the general public were admitted. The prisoner we. pew. sent, but wore an air of depreasion as compared with his appearance in the morning. The jury found a verdict against George Vale of the " Wilful Murder of Margaret Dockerty." THE CHARGE OF W IFE•KILLING AT BRADFORD. At the Bradford Borough Court, on Monday, Patrick Cronin, wcolcomber, of Irving-street, Bolton-road, in that town, was examined before Mears. Alderman Brown, William Murgatroyd, and John Light, on the charge of having caused the death of his wife, Sarah Cronin. Mr. Terry appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Lees foe the prisoner. Our readers will remember that the dream stances of this cue were inquired into before Mr. Jewin son, coroner, on Saturday last, when the jury returned • verdict to the e ff ect that the deceased died from • wound or laceration of the liver, calmed by violence, but that there was no evidence to show how or by what means such vio lence had been dooe. The magistrates, having heard the whole of the evidence, consulted a few minutes, after which, Mr. Alderman Brown,' addressing the prisoner, said—" The case appears to us to be 14 very suspicious one, bat there is not sutlicient evidence before us at present to warrant us in sending you for trial ; but should there be further evi dence brought forward, you may have to appear before the magistrates again. You are discharged." The prisoner then left the bar. MARKETS. TALLOW.—TUWDAT Evanno.—The market wee quiet to-day.

We seem to be quite recovered from the depres sion caused by the 'them in the stock of cotton at Liver pool. The market closes firm, with • decided tendency to higher rates. In cloth there is also an entire recovery from the check to business and prices caused by the return of stock at Liverpool, and sellers are firm at old prices. If there is a change it is towards higher prices, but buyers are acting cautiously, and the amount of business transacted has been very small. Still those who are com pelled to execute orders, through preening wants, have been unable to get on short of very full rates. The general opinion is that we shall see higher prices. Manufacturers are very willing to take orders for cloth to nuke, and some of thorn would take them for almost the price of the yarns front which they will bare to be made, but orden are diffi cult to obtain even at then prices. In the little bullion* that has offered, printing cloths have been as much inquired for as anything. There has also been some inquiry from shippers to Alexandria for long cloths suitable to that mar ket, but, anxious as manufacturers are to start again, they have been unable to get prices sufficient to offer an induce. meat, except in some few nem There is very little inquiry for domestics, although the time has arrived when more business in this class of fabrics may be expected. India shirtings and other eastern goods we still much neglected, and there is nothing in the recent advice, from Calcutta and Bombay to hold out much hope of an early improvement. Horne trade houses are low In stocks, and an improved Mod ena, judging from the inquiry, would be possible in this quarter but for the check given by high prices, WOOLLEN.—Lens, JAS. 6.—The dark foggy weather this morning rendered the Coloured Cloth Hall a blank, or little better.
