He then infutmed him there was a woman drowned, and be went to the place, and assisted another constable, 166 8, in getting her out of the water. A plait of the locality was produced by one of the detec tives of the 8 division, showing the passage from Augustus street down to the canal, which is 119 feet in length, and the witness said, when he heard the first cry and the foot steps, be was about GO feet from the water's edge, and when be hoard the footsteps coming towards him, he ran in the earn. direc:inn, end met the man at the moment he arrived at the top of the passage. Kr. Joseph White Johnson, surgeon, of 16, Park-village East, said—Soon after 11 o'clock, oil the night of Monday week, he WWI called to sea the body of a young female at the Regalia Tavern. He found her wrapped up in blankets, lying nii a table, apparently dead. The appearances were those of:ssphixia, occasioned by immersion in the water. Had since made a postmortesn examination of the body. There were no external marks of violence. There was no doubt whatever but that the cause of death was suffocation by drowning. The witness Wilson was here recalled, and, in answer to the coroner, said be believed he could identify the man whom ho met in the passage, but, owing to the darkness ef the nigh•, he could not swear to him. The coroner directed the witness to retire, and then or dered liana, the summoning officer, to bring up the ac cused, end a number of moo, similarly attired, with him, to anemia if he could be identified, A group of fourteen labouring men, nearly all attired in flannel or corduroy jackets and fustian trousers, like these worn by Mackett, were here introduced, aid the accused was brought up and placed in the midst of them. The witness Wilson was then recalled. and asked by the coroner if he could see any per son in the room he believed to be the man he met at the top of tha passage on the night in question. lie looked round the room for a moment, and then went up to Hack ett, and, placing his band on the accused's shoulder, said, " This is the man." The directness with which the pri souer was thus singled out caused great sensation, and the accused turned pale and held down his head. The Coroner—Why do you believe that is the man ? Witness—Bceaum I saw him last Tuesday week at the police-court, and he was dressed like the man I saw on the night the body was found. The accused was nut, when be fore the magistrate, placed amongst other men. He had, when I wet him, either a basket or bundle in his hand. The man I have pointed out is that man, to the best of my belief. The :.reused, in answer to the coroner, having stated that his na.r.e was Thomas Hackett, Mr. Wakley read over the evideuce to him, and remarked that it having been proved that deceased h ad been drowsed, it now became the duty of the jury to ascertain if possible how she came into the water. Did the accused or kis profesaional adviser wish to ask any question. Mr. Wilding and Hackett replied in the negative. The C4llOlllO said he had promised Lord Palmerston that the accused should be at the police-court by twelve o'clock, se that the nroeeedings before the coroner should not later ite, wi.h the duties of the magistrate. He thought it thi nkable, %bacillar, that any evidence which appeared to a ffect the mesa should be at once takes. Mr. Henry Tiapeon said he resided at the Victoria Tavern, hloroington-road. He knew deceased by seeing her about the neighbourhood. He last sow her alive on the night of Monday week, about half-past ten, and a man was with her in heat of the bar. The barwoman served them with a quarters of gin. They remained about ten minutes, and they both appeared sober. The Coroner—Should you know the maw again ? Witnees—Yes, that is him (pointing to the accused). ((heat sensation.) I do Lot recollect seeing him before that night. The time It would occupy to walk from the Victoria to the Regalia would take about three minutes. Had no doubt a hanker the price he bad pointed out was the man with dotterel on the night in question. Mack , tt declined to put any question to the witness, and was here removed. Charles Parolees', pollee-constable S 166, having been men deposed to having taken the body of • woman out of the renal, near the Regalia public-house, shortly after U o'clock on the evening et Monday week. The body was not out by means of a rope. He was called to the spot by emu named Adams, who said he was going to the York and Albany for the drags. Upon arriving on the spot witness found the witness Wilson, Wolfe the landlord, and se era! ether persons. Previous to Adams calling hie attention to what bad occurred, he perceived • man pass him hurriedly. Witness wee at the time standing on the footpath, neer Park-village East, which is about 100 yards from the •• Regalia." The man who passed in the road was deemed in a flannel jacket, light eap, and corduroy Howson, the latter smeared with pleader. He had a bundle or basket slung over his shoulder. Had no doubt that the accused, Mechem was the same man. Could see him distinctly, the fog, which had been very demo, having somewhat cleared off. Charles Bow, the detective alter, 383 5, was next sworn. On Tuesday, the Ist inst., having received information that a womma had bun fou nd drowned in the Regent's canal, with whose description he was furnished by his sergeant, as will as that of a man who bad been seen in the any of deceased, and having also been in formed that a was miming, the contents of which had been d bed to him, went to a hones in Egglington mord building*, High-street, Maryleboue. The dear was opened by • woman, who stated that Machete resided there; but upon being asked if be was at home, made no reply. Wit ness then said that if she could find him, he was to be sent to Mr. Norris, clerk of the works at the New Church in Margaret-street, Cavendish-square. Upon stating this, Kackett, who was in the house, replied, " I will go with you now, air." He accompanied me ; and after walking Dome distanee, I asked him if he knew Elixa Lea. He re plied that he did, and that he had left her at • friend's house, in Pratt-street, Camden-town, on the previous eve ning. He then asked where she was, and I informed him that she was in St. Pancras Workhouse, and that she bail been found in the Regent's Canal. Hackett thee inquired if she was dead; and upon being told that the was, he dropped his head, and replied that he chi W be able to clear himself. After lodging Maekett in the ewe body of a fellow officer, witness returned to the house where accused lived. Ile then saw a woman who stated she was Kackett's wife. Witness said he came from "Tom" for the parcel which he took home with him on the previous night. After some delay, the parcel was handed to him, it contained • blue merino dress and trimmings. Witness here produced the bundle. Mary Ann Les, mother of the deceased, was the next witness examined. She deposed to having last seen her daughter, Eliza Lea, on the morning of the 31st ult. She was then well and in good spirits. Between 9 and 10 in the morning of the above date she gave deceased • half sovereign fee the purpose of redeeming a :merino dress which IBA bus pledged for 3s. at a pawnbroker's at the Sergeant Lockerby, of the detective force, produced the clothes taken off deceased when she was found in the canal, but at they had been cut and torn in order to get them oil at the time of the fatal occurrence, the coroner suggested that it would be as well for the jury not to be led by their appearance. The officer also produced a plan of the spot, and gave a detailed description of the distances, from place to place, where deceased and the atoned had bean traced. The towing-path was nearly level, it was covered with gravel, and measured 13 feet wide. The Coroner here intimated to Mr. Wilding, who at tended on the part of the accused, that if he Ind any addi tional witnesses to call he, the coroner, would adjourn the L it. T iVilding bad no wish for an adjournment, and would reserve anything he had to say fur another place. The Coroner then charged the jury. He remarked that there was one strong fact, namely, that there appeared no pre-concertion, no planning on the part of the accused to get the deceased to any particular place, on the contrary, she sought him out, and appeared to give him some kind of invitation. The other points touched upon by the coroner, was the desire of the deceased that the woman Hermitage should give her parcel to her mother, and on her refusal she snatched it up and took it with her ; and that subse quently, through the extraordinary vigilance and tact of the police, this same parcel was subsequently discovered at the residence of the accused Thus. Hackett. In this case no attempt to prove an alibi had beta set up, and therefore if the jury believed that this unfortunate young woman bad lost her life through the criminal act of any person, then it would be their duty to return a verdict of wilful murder against such person as the evidence seemed to point at. If, on the other hand, they did not think there was sufficient evidence to justify them in fising criminality upon any one, then they could return an open verdict that the deceased was found drowned in the water, but how she ... , ime there there was not sufficient evidence to show. The jury then retired, and after an absence of about twenty minutes came into court, and Mr. Matthews, their foreman, declared that the jury had come to a unanimous verdict, .• That Elias Lea was wilfully murdered by Thomas Mackett." . . The Coroner said u it would take some time to draw op the official document upon which his warrant could be issued to send the accused for trial, he proposed that the jury should re-assemble at a future time, on which occasion he would take the opportunity of expressing himself and explaining the circumstances under which Lord Palmerston had been induced to send the accused before the coroner's jury. It was ultimately agreed that the jury should assemble to sign their verdict on Monday evening nest. Daces Tee Mum or Tua Ewa. IN LE THE LONDON DOCKS COKPLNT Ex PARTS 13LALE.

THE BOLD BUCCLEVOIL—DAKAOIL This was an ac ion brought against the Bold Buccleugh steamer by the owners of a barque called the 'William, which had been run down on the 14th of December, 1648. The William, a vessel of 342 tons burden, and drawing 17 feet of water, had come to anchor on the night in question at about a quarter of a mile northward of Clearness buoy in the Humber; and at about 7 o'clock the Buccleugh, which was on her way from Leith to Hull, ran against her and sank her. The defence was that the William had anchored in an improper situation, and had neglected to show a bright light. It was also urged that the Buccleugh had taken every step in her power to avoid the collision, as soon as she had discovered the William in her way. The damages were laic: at 2,4001. Drs. Addams and Robinson wero retained for the vessel proceeding, but were not called upon to address the court. Drs. Haggard and Jenner argued in favour of the Bold Buceleugh. Dr. Lushington (after consulting with the Trinity Mas ters, by whom be was assisted, and who, he said, entirely concurred with him in the opinion of the case which be had himself formed) said that the steamer ought to have exer cised more caution and to have kept a hitter look out. They were therefore satisfied that the Bold Buccleugh was to blame. With respect to the William the Trinity Mas ters considered that, although she had anchored at a place which might not, speaking generally, be safe or convenient, yet it was at a spot where vessels were accustomed to an chor ; and, considering her draught of water, and the state of the wind, she was not to blame. The Court, therefore, pronounced for the damage. TH3 CURLZW.—COLLIRION. _ _ The declaration set forth that the defendant had been guilty of a slander and libel on the plaintiff, whereby he had lost his election for Hull. The defendant pleaded not guilty, a justification, and traversed the damage. The Attorney-General said the plaintiff was the Hon. C. L. Butler, who was a candidate in the conservative interest for the borough of Hull at the last general election, and the defendant was Mr. Benjamin Oliveira, M.P. for Pontefract. The plaintiff complained of defamation and libel which bad been committed by the defendant, who appeared very much to have compromised himself. It appeared that defendant had some intention of offering himself as a candidate for Hull in the liberal interest, but withdrew in favour of Vise. Goderich. In passing through the town of Hull on the 28th June, shortly before the election was coming on, the defendant communicated a statement to some of the electors in the interest of Mr. Clay and Lord' Goderich, refiecting in a most serious manner upon the character of Mr. Butler, as a gentleman and a man of honour, for the purpose partly of gratifying his own ma lignity, and partly with • view of furthering the political interests of the plaintiff's opponent. The matter to which I the defendant referred occurred as far back as 1837. It appeared that in the year 1835 Mr. Butler had become a' member of a club, presided over by the defendant, of which he was patron, president, and autocrat—called the Star Dab, the object of the members (from 40 to 50 in number) being to dine together once a month, and in the course of the summer season two or three driers were given, at which the members could invite their friends. The late Lard Dunhoyne, the plaintiff's father, was also a member et that same club. In 1847 the plaintiff and his father wished to leave the club, inconsequence of which the plain tiff called on defendant for the purpose of settling the sub scriptions due from his father and himself. Mr. Oliveira was not pleased at their retiring from the club, but nothing passed which was personally offensive to Mr. Butler. When that gentleman left the house Mr. Oliveira did not condescend to ring the bell, but left the plaintiff to open the door him self, which caused some hasty expression on the part of the plaintiff, who considered that he was not treated with the politeness which he had a right to expect. Nothing, how ever, which gentlemen could take notice of passed between them. Mr. Butler quitted the club, and wrote to know what arrears were due from him and his father. About that time one of the deYetiners took place, for which Mr. Butler had six tickets. He could not remember whether he went to the dejcuner himself or not, but his friends did so. He subsequently received an application calling upon him to contribute a further sum of 101. Bs. towards the ex penses. Considering this against the rules of the club, and that the additional expense had been caused by the want of paper asemesemsat of the president, he, in common with Mbar members, refused to pay the additional sum. This nestle saideet matter of the slander, Mr. Oliveira having tbs.& peeper to revive it after an interval of many years. 1141 down to Hull on the 28th of June he stated that he had as to make against Mr. Butler, which might be ereallohie the 01 the election. And he then said lire Kr. Maw owed him 101. Bs. ever. since 1837, said sabised to peg it, that he had invited him to his house to tiler samMea. that when he came and refused to gag be neboothis swung to show him out, and threstesed if be did net go to kick him out. This story was circulated about the town, and it was said that Dlr. Butler was a per ms who would not pay his debts. The plaintiff then wrote to defendant to demand • retraetation or an apology; but the defendant refused either, and declared the statement to be true. He also stated that Mr. Butler was unanimously im pelled from the club for not paying his contribution towards the expenses of the entertainment. Mr. Oliveira seed copy of his reply to Hull, and it was published with a mob nature representing Mr. Butler receiving the personal in dignity which the defendant said he threatened to inflict. (Laughter.) If such was the way in which elections were to be conducted, our free and glorious constitution would be a curse rather than a blessing. But for the change which had taken place in public opinion, Mr. Butler would have adopted a different course ; he had, however, wisely so u ght redress in • court of law. The plaintiff's solicitors wrote to the defendant to ask him to name his solicitor to accept service of writ, instead of which he replied in a long letter, reiterating all that he had said before, stating that he considered the matters to which he had re ferred to be fairly the subject of electioneering squibs, and adding that if the plaintiff proceeded further, he should have occasion to introduce some further facts and incidents with reference to the early career of the plaintiff and his late father, for whom he had entertained great respect. This the learned gentleman contended was • great aggravation of the original slander, and displayed a bad spirit and most execrable taste on the part of the defendant. The plaintiff denied that Mr. Oliveira had in any way whatever ordered him to quit his house, or that he had threatened to kick him out, although the defendant had said in the letter which he had written to the plaintiff's solicitors that he was prepared to verify his statement on oath. The plaintiff also said that the price of the tickets for the enteitaiment was fixed, and that, having paid for his tickets, he did not owe the defendant anthing. The plaintiff bad not been allowed a sight of the bo oks ofd the club from which it was said he had been expelled, on the ground that they might be made the subject of • criminal prosecution against Mr. Oliveira. This was a suit instituted by the proprietors of the schooner Lady Anne against the brig Curlew, to recover compensation for injuries sustained by her in a collision which had taken place between the two vessels, on the night of the 3rd of February, between Flamborough Head and Filey Bay. The night was very dark, and the wind was blowing hard. The Lady Anne, seeing the Curlew ap proaching, bailed her to starboard her helm ; but she held on and ran into the schooner's bow. The crew immediately got into the brig, and the schooner soon afterwards sank. The defence was, first, that the Lady Acne was herself to blame, and that her crew had improperly and unnecessarily abandoned their ship. Drs. Addams and Twin appeared for the vessel proceed in and Drs. Jenncr and Hayford for the Curlew. The Trinity Hinters were of opinion the Curlew was to blame ; and Dr. Lushington pronounced for the damage. NEWCARTLII. Feb.

DWTER, TUE VICTIM OF CANNON, THE SWEEP. —Yesterday, Police-constable Michael Dwyer, who had been so seriously assaulted and injured by the sweep Cannon, attended at Lambeth Police-court, for the purpose of receiving the subscriptions forwarded for his use by be nevolent individuals. The poor man had much improved in appearance since the last time. In reply to the questions of the magistrate, he said that he still suffered from internal hemorrhage and spat a good deal of blood, and when this took place it was generally followed by fits, during which he was obliged to bo restrained and kept down. Besides this, his right leg was in so weak a state that he could scarcely bear to put it to the ground, and the sliptest exer tion of it produced a most painful swelling in the right groin, and he was still under the care of the divisional sur geon. Its further stated that the Secretary of State for the Horne Department had kindly ordered him a gratuity of 601., and the commissioners of police, with equal kind nets, had siren him leave of absence for six weeks, such ' leave dating its commencement from a few days ago, and his full pay as a constable to be continued for the time. Mr. Elliott observed that ho was very glad to see the poor man look so much improved, and was happy to hand him the money that had been subscribed for his use. The chief clerk stated that 1021. Is. 10d. had been subscribed by the public. MORTAL AFFRAY WITH GENDARMES.—Two gen darmes named Authier and Lapierre, of Privas, depart ment of the ArcKehe, were ordered one night last week to visit the public-houses at Ruissols, in the suburbs of the town. They found in one of them kept by a man named Chalet, a number of people drinking. They declared that, as it was past 11 o'clock, the innkeeper was violating the decree of the Perfect of the 14th April, 1852, and that they would draw up a proses-verbal against him. They then demanded the mimes of the persons preient, but they re fused to give them, and turned the officers into ridicule. Some of them, however, ended by stating their names. On leaving the house, the gendannes were grossly insulted by a number of people who had assembled before the door. One of these men, named Ghat°, a shoemaker, approached the gendarmes to insult them. They seised him. Immedi ately the crowd struck and Felted them,and Ginte struck one, Authier, in the face. That gendarme plunged his sword in to the man's bowels; and he fell bathed in blood. Loud cries of death were now raised against the officers, and Authier was in a situation of considerable danger. Lapierre drew his sword to release his comrade, and the latter pre sented his pistol. At this moment the deputy-mayor of Yeyras, M. Itoudil, with his son and another person, went to their protection, and succeeded in getting them into a house. Medical assistance was procured for Ginte, but the wound was discovered to be mortal, and he expired in a few seconds. Two other gendarmes, hearing of what was taking place, hastened to the spot, and arrested four of the princi pal rioters, who were locked in the gaol of the town. Ele ven of the men who were drinking in the public-house were subsequently pointed out to justice An investigation made by the authorities resulted in the declaration that both gen darmes, who are energetic and well-conducted men, only acted in self-defence. One of the men arrested, named La croix, was wounded in the band in attempting to wrest his sword from Lapierre. The Prefect of the departmeat caused the public-house of Chalet to be closed. The following witnesses were then Galled in support of the plaintiff's case : Mr. Westoby, tobacconist, an elector of Bull, was called to prove that the defendant made the statement complained of to him. On cross-examination, the witness said he had seen a placard posted outside the committee-rooms of Mr. Butler, stating that the accusations of Mr. Oliveira were foul, calumnious, and malicious falsehoods. The majority of Viscount Ooderich was 400 over Mr. Moore, and nearly 1,000 over Mr. Butler, the plaintiff. The letters sent by Mr. Oliveira were printed and distributed by witness, but without the knowledge or consent of defendant. There were a great number of printed caricatures published on both sides during the election. Kr. Vickers, a wholesale hosier, sad an 'login of Kull, lua - ir.. 1 Feb. II Tura..6ist, March I Moo.

EXTRAOZDINART DEPORTATION OP IRISH POOL —Yesterday, at the meeting of the board of guardians of the Holborn Union, Mr. 8. Pearson brought beforo the notice of the guardians the circumstances connected with a boy named Jeremiah Carey and his sister, who had that day been received into the workhouse in a state of destitu tion. It appeared from the statement of the children that, along with their father, they were inmates of the Clone kitty Union workhouse, in the county of Cork, and one day all the inmates were called together, and asked who would' like to go to England. The children and their father were induced to do so, along with about 100 others. They wens afterwards taken in carts to the seaside, and put on Mei • ship ; and, after being two days and two nights id M e were landed in England, the guardians paying*. pm. money for the whole of them.

A CONVICT.—A convict named Edward Hulme, under sea-' Mince of transportation for ten years, was employed on Mon day morning last about eight o'clock, as usual, to clean out the surgery of Dr. Burns, on board the convict hospital ship at moorings in the river, when he took the opportunity of attempting his escape by leaving his trowsers and steck logs in the surgery and jumping overboard, with the inten tion of swimming to the Essen shore. When the alarm of his escape was given every eye kept directed to the Esser side of the river, but the convict never made his appearance, and it is the general impression that he was drowned in the attempt. The drags were used nearly the whole of yester day, but the body has not been found. About the time of the attempted escape cries of distress as of a drowning per sou were heard further down the river but the persona on shore who heard them could not perceive any object in tho drer, sad were therefore unable W wader say usidsace. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-MUSE. William Milton, a clerk in the employment of Mr. John Halgleish, of Mincioplane, merchant, was charged with having stolen from hum a bill of exchange for 1001., and from Mr. Mohammed Benazuz, of South-place, Finsbury, merchant, the proceeds of a cheque for 2'261. 35. Bd. Mr. Clarkson, instructed by Messrs. Oliverson and Co., and Mr. Ashurat, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Morgan, of the firm of Humphreys and Co., (or the defence. The evidence against the prisoner on the charge of steal ing the bill was taken by the magistrate at West Melling, where the prisoner was apprehended ; and it appeared from that evidence that the prisoner had possession of the bill which it was his duty to have returned to kis employer on the day on which he received it. Mr. Edward Webb, principal managing clerk to Mr. Dalgleish, said—The prisoner was a clerk in my employer's office. On Saturday, the 22nd of January, I gave to him an account sales and the cheque for 2261. 3s. Bd. to take to Mr. Benazuz. He was to leave the cheque, with some other account sales, with that gentleman. I also told him to call at the house of Messrs. Long man and Co., in Austin-friars, for a 1001. bill left there for acceptance. It was then about two o'clock in the after noon. After that, about five o'clock as I think, I received some information, and sent to Messrs. Smith, Pique, and Co., our bankers, and afterwards I went to Mr. Benazus, and from what took place at his office I went to the Bow lane station ; but I first went with Mr. Benasus to Messrs. Glyn, the bankers, and made a payment there of 661.9,. 9d. on account of Mr. Benzene from what he had informed me. After the prisoner had done those things which I had directed him to do he ought to have returned to our office, but he did not do so. The cheque produced is that which I gave to the prisoner. Mr. Mohammed Benazuz, being sworn on the Koran, said—On the 22nd of January the prisoner came to my house, about three o'clock, and handed to me some account sales and a cheque. I thought I wrote my name upon the cheque, but I do not see it. Crowexamined by Mr. Morgan—l believed that I en dorsed my name on the cheque, but I can't make out how it is that my name is not on it. I asked the prisoner to go and get it cashed. Re-examined—When he gave me the cheque he asked me if he should go and get me the money, and I maid yes, and thank you if you will save me the trouble ; and I gave him +the cheque, and asked him to take up a bill for 661.9.. 9d. 1 also gave him another bill of 511., and asked him to write the date on it, and he wrote 22d of January over my signature, and ho was to leave the bill with Messrs. Glyn, and to pay the 661. 9s. 9cl. bill for me, and bring mo small notes in exchange for the cheque, but he never returned. To Mr. Morgan—l thought I endorsed the cheque, but perhaps I might make a mistake. Now I do not see my name on it. To Sir R. W. Carden—l did not see the face of the cheque, but I taw the amount on the account sales. I can not say that is the cheque. John Carrick, the landlord of an inn in West Mailing, said—On the 22nd of January the prisoner came to my house. I did not see his carpet bag that night. Ile ataci till the 29th Between those dates he handed to me a of money to take care of for him. I did not count it, but BAILED. Armes Queen—from Pill, Feb. 8, to. Africa MINIM Asu—from Falmouth.
