We went two trips to Mac clestielil (20 miles) in the morn- . Mg with the engine, and then left Manchester with the engine at 130 p.m. fur Crewe (30 miles;. I had perceived no defect in the engine during any of these trips. I think the engine is three or four years Mil, and was considered a good mired engine. It had been under repair four or live months ago. It was the practice to examine the engine and wheels every day, and 1 and the driver usually examined the engine every day. 1 cannot say whether Chadwick had eassnined the engine that day, but I had when at Mande. ! field. 1 discovered no defect about it. We started hack ' Irons Crewe at about 17 minutes past 5, which would bit aineot 7 minutes late, and proceeded towards Manchester. 1 it was a parliamentary, not au expense, train to which the engine was attached. There were seven or eight carriages, first, seemed, and third clam. I have no idea of the num her of immengers. There was • luggage van between the tender sad the passenger carriages. Leeetufed and myself l both were on the engine, and no person was with us. We stopped at Sandhach, Holmes Chapel, and Chelford dation,. Chelford station was the last station they stopped at, and the wheels of the engine were 4:sambas' there both in going down and returning, as was usual. '1 here was no detect discovered by me ur heard of, It was not dark when we left Chiliad, and we travelled at between 30 ',nd It miles an hour. We had only seven minutes to ...ke up. We did not get up to this speed fur some Minute* after we left Clwlford. It is not an unusual speed fur us to travel at, nor • dangerous speed. The first thing .1 heard at the time of the accident was when within halts a-mile of itielerley. It was rather dark, as wet were in a cutting, and it was past fi o'clock, end I could et nothing. way standing on the left hand side of the engine, and Chadwick was on the other side, near the reversing lever. 1 heard something crack, and Chadwick said " What's I that I did not answer, for I did nut know, and be in steady shut off the steam.

I could out sue them; but the water running liver my face and mouth caused me to struggle, and in ',are-atom myself from under the tender, which dill not root fin me, 1 got hold of Chadwick'. hair.

I saw nothing happen to the carriages; hut when I had extri cated myself I perceived that the luggage van had been thrown over the engine, and it was very much shattered. he passenger carriages were a good deal smashed, and heaped one upon another. ter Putts, of Nether Alacrity, said—l um a farmer, and recollect the incident on Tuesday night. I was nut in ' my hilile near the railway, and heard the none of the steam blowing off from the engine. I was 300 or 400 yards from the place, and could not see the train. because it am in a rutting, but 1 could light regatta from the engine. 1 did not go near till I loan:lye d that the train was longer in motion, and then I thought something had Armenia'. When I arrived at the line the engine was upset aerees the line, and the head of it nearly reversed. The 'auk of the tender lay across a drain on the other Side 1/1 the railway. The luggage van had gone use r the engine, and the diet passenger carriage, a third class, hail run upon the eerie*. Several of the billowing carriages bad gone elf the rails, but there were three still on the line, and a sun behind them. I saw deceased under the water tank, and assisted to atricate him. There was a screw-jack on his chest, and the tank rested on that. I saw that one of the wheels was without • tire, and that one of the rails was bent. The tire was broken in four piece..

The coroner's inquest, after the examination of one witness, a son of the deceased, was adjourned in order that other evidence might be col lected, and a post esorfens examination of the oody made. That examination disclosed facts pi eviously unsuspected and of the roost revolting nature, and the sympathy which had been expressed fur the murderer on account of his wife's intemperate habits was converted into horror and disgust upon the facts detailed in the evidence below becoming known. The inquest was resumed on Monday, when the jury-room was tilled by respectable citizens, amongst whom were many members of the medical profession. Mr. M. Hants, solicitor, appeared as before to watch the case fur the prisoner, whom the magistrates had declined to deliver out of their custody. Mr. Oakley, chief of police, produced the certificate of the marriage of the deceased with Joseph Clarke, at Chelten ham, about ten years since. Mr. Hunt, surgeon, who had made the pose modern ex am ination,was then examined, and depoeed that the liver and k idneys of deceased presented the peculiar appearance usually seen in persons addicted to drink. The immediate cause of death was a wound within the vagina, of about an inch in diameter. The wound proceeded first downwards, then outwards, and then backwards, so as to admit the finger at least two inches. That wound he believed to have been made by some blunt-pointed instrument. The point of the instruineut must have been smaller than its erresponding end, or graduating from its smaller point to a larger diameter, and great fume must have been used. I believe this wound to have been the cause of death by the bermorrhage it occasioned by the rupture of vessels in the neighbourhood. Coroner. —Do you think it posaible such a wound as you describe could have been inflicted by her husband fall ing on her with a stick ? st'itnews.-1 do not think it possible that an injury to the extent found could be inflicted by accident. Mr. Skinner, surgeon, corroborated the evidence of Mr. Hunt, and concurred with him as to the cause of death. 1 Mrs. Langley deposed that she was fetched home by her husband on Tuesday evening the 18th of Feb. She had seen Mrs. Clarke about .5 o'clock the same evening. She WWI then tottering from drink. Witness returned with her husband and Mrs. Tadil. As they entered the house a great scuffling was heard in Clarke's room. She beard several heavy falls but no screams. Witness ran up stairs, and found Clarke's door open. She went in, and Mrs. Clarke was standing against the wall with her hair hanging about her fare. She was very pale, and appeared fainting or dying. She was making use of her hand as though try ing to grasp something . Hus doer husband , who was behind her, caught hold her hair and pulled her back suddenly. Witness said, - If the woman is drunk she is not to be murdered. Clarke, for God's sake, don't kill her." She ran up stairs to call another lodger. On her return the door was open and the deceased was sitting on the door in the corner of the room. Witness was frightened by her pale appearance. Clarke was lean ing aver her, and witness was afraid he was choking her. Witnew immediately ran down stairs screaming. Clarke was in a leaning position over hit - w ife, whose head wee backward, and there was great scuffling on the floor as witness ';.assed the dour. In about two minutes Clarke came down stairs and asked her to go up. She immediately went up. and found the deceased still se a t ed b y the wall. On going into the room witness exclaimed, " Oh, my 04, then you have murdered her! she is dead." Claire MA 1 O u n't -0." Witness said, •• How did you do and he r. p1i,,l - I only pushed her." Mr. Hunt arrived shortly afterwards. The witness then deposed to the deceased having been away from her home the whole of Saturday and Sunday, and both nights. Witness. on finding Mrs. Clarke did not come house un Saturday night, went up and expressed her sorrow to Mr. Clarke that his wife had been away. Ile was very reserved, but said "Unfortunate wretch, what shall Ido with her 1" The deceased was in the habit of drinking at public-houses as well as at home. The inquest was then adjourned till to-morrow, when it is espeettsl the prisoner will be brought up before the magistrates, and remanded till after the clue: of the core -es inquest.

Yesterday morning Thomu Ash, who _ en ts.e charge of being concerned in the perpetration of the 'Burdening outrage at Mr. Tucker's, was brought up br essmination before the magistrates at the Town-hall, Windsor. Neither Mr. Tucker nor Mrs. Whittaker were present, and it was stated in court that they are as yet unable to leave their beds. Police-superintendent F. Eager produced a black cloak T urned with blood, which was handed to him in Mr. Tucker's house, and also *handkerchief with the corner torn off, which is of precisely the same pattern as one be lunging to Mr. Tucker. George Beagles, a gardener, who was at work in the plantation near Clarence-crescent on the morning of Wed nesday, the 19th, stated that he found there a bottle wine and a chisel or " jemmy " which he identified. of Sarah l'iner, the servant o f Mr. Tucker, proved that Ail was well acquainted with the premises, having been Ms played to repair the kitchen range.

He left my house between two and three on I Tuesday afternoon. I did not see him again until ten minutes after two o'clock in the morning of Wednesday, the 19th instant. (It will be remembered the burzlary was committed between one end Miry are ; morning ). When net him ill he told me that he had desired the other lodger not to have the door fastened, es he 'bosh' I be home in two or three hours.

It has been fresh ground since I last used it. Mr. Prince, having told me he had lent the chisel to the prisoner, about 8 o'clock last night I said I I wanted it. The prisoner replied, " I will bring it home at dinner-time to.morrow or ouc in the place of it." About four or five days since f was in a room down-stairs with the prisoner, when he amid " I know where is some money and how I can get it, and I will be • rogue for once." I gave information at the station-house when I heard of the robbery. Superintendent Eager inspected the premises, and found the house had been entered t, thieves, who gained weeds by breaking a square of glass in the kitchen wurdow, and hireing the fastenings with a chisel. The chisel he received from Mr. Beslobrough he had compared with the wine -bin, and it exactly fitted the marks on it. Apprehended the prisoner, and showed him the chisel, when he said be knew it, and that it had been in his basket some time. I tom ' parcel the prisoner's shoes with the footmarks on some fresh dug ground in Mr. Tucker's garden, about three yards from the window, and they exactly corresponded. There were also footmarks of another person. The prisoner was remanded until Monday next. L in THE BRUTAL MURDER AT BATH. IRELAND. 1/1111LIN, As might be expected the news of the ministerial crisis produced great excitement here yesterday. The intelligence spread with the utmost rapidity, and before it was many hours in Dublin it seemed to have reached the ears of the humblest of its inhabi tants. As a matter of course it is the chief topic at conversation, yet very few trouble themselves mach with the question of what party is to succeed. Tha great anxiety is to get rid of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, and the Roman catholics are now full of the hope that they are safe from any measure of that kind. A great open air meeting of the Roman catholics of Drogheda was held yesterday in that town, for the purpose of petitioning parliament against the new penal measures." It was convened by a requisition signed by upwards of two hun dred of the inhabitants, and, according to the report in the Freeman, was attended by some 10,000 persons. The mayor occupied the chair, and among the movers and seconders of the resolutions were the High Sheriff, Alderman Boylan, Mr. J. M. Cant well, of Dublin, and several of the wealthiest of the local merchants. A petition was adopted and en trusted for presentation to Mr. Torrens M'Cullagh, a vote of thanks to whom andto the other Irish liberal members who voted against the ministry was car ried with acclamation. A letter from Archbishop Cullen was read at the meeting, excusing himself tbr his absence, and giving his view of the subject they had met to discuss. On Saturday there was a large muster of the Roman catholic inhabitants of Limerick, who mem- I bled upon a requisition addressed to the mayor , " to consider the penal laws proposed by the ministry, and to take measures to defeat any enactment con trary to civil and religious liberty." The meeting was held in one of the Roman catholic chapels, and Bishop Ryan, w ho, like Archbishop Murray, has generally abstained from taking part in ..litical movements, was present with a numerons •y of his clergy. The mayor occupied the chair. It was remarked that the first meeting held in Ireland to petition for emancipation was held in the same chapel in Limerick where the meeting of Satur day last took place. The pastoral of Archbishop Murray, calling on the people to pray against the proposed enactment, was read from the altars in all the Roman catholic cha pels of the archdiocese yesterday. 11. M.

The Muter afterwards, acting upon fresh evidence, restored the name to the list, which, however, was again excluded upon op ' peal to this court (sec the Daily Sews of the 16th of January last), on the ground that the Master had no juris diction to review the decision of the Vice-Chancellor.

We regard this Oratorio as the first fruits of a genius destined to do great things. Mr. Charles Edward Horsley is the son of the veteran composer who has so long held so high a place among the masters of the English se-haul of vocal harmony ; and there seems no doubt that the son will support the honour of the distinguished name be inherits. He has pursued his studies chiefly in Germany, under the immediate instruction, we believe, both of Spohr and Mendelssohn ; and that his mind is deeply imbued with the works of the great sacred writers of that country is apparent from the work he has now brought before the world. Mendels sohn he appears to have especially taken for his model in the formation of his style, a remark we are far from making invidiously, or with the view of detracting in the least from the value or interest of his production. Every young artist, how gifted soever with original genius, naturally catches the style of which he most strongly feels the beauties. This was the case with the most original of all geniuses, Beethosen himself; and every amateur knows how much his early sonatas, quartets, and symphonies (some of them still numbered among his finest works) are in the style of Haydn and Mozart, espe cially the latter. In listening to " David," we have been frequently reminded of " St. Paul" sold " Elijah," but this circumstance has increased rather than diminished our pleasure. " David " was performed last evening at Exeter Hall, for the first time in Louden. It was first produced some months ago at Liverpool, where it was respectably got up and met with a degree of attention which encou raged the young author to undertake its production in the metropolis. He received, we understand, much friendly assistance from the Sacred Harmonic Society ; and was enabled to obtain a strong and excellent orchestra and chorus, and a sufficient number of our best vocalists for the solo parts. The musical public, likewise, took a great inte rest in the matter; the hall was crowded in every part, and the work achieved • triumphant success. In his choral writing, Mr. Horsley seems to have steered a middle course between the scholastic severity of the old masters and the freedom of Mendelssohn's latest style. In " David ", there is a great deal of very admirable fugal counterpoint, but little adheredee to the strict forms of the fugue. He has intro duced subjects of fugue, with their appropriate answers, without thinking it necessary to carry them through the replications, inversions, anti changes prescribed by Eux and Marpurg. Several of the choruses arefugato,—as the v,ry fine one in the first part, " Have ye seen the man ?''—but we have observed only one fugue, and it is a magnificent one ; the chorus in the second part—" The King shall joy," in which there is a complete and highly-wrought fugue on two subjects. In the great final chorus, also, there is a very original fugue subject at the " Hallelujah." When the resources of fugal counterpoint are thus used with a free dom from the trammels of antiquated rules, they are of Mb rdte value in adding depth and richness to harmony. Many of the airs are very beautiful; those especially in the part of David, which was finely sustained by 'Mr. Locke,. The air in the first part, The Lord is mj shep herd,' is delightfully sweet and flowing; and the air, " Where am I, 0 Lord," in the second part (enriched with an oboe obligate accompaniment) is intensely expressive. There are two or three tine contralto sin which Miss Wil liam. .ansi_deliciously. A baritone air near the be ginning. in the part of Somuef, " Give ear unto my pray.r," was very finely sung by Mr. Whit worth. The most remarkable duet ts between Dora and Goliath when they are about to engage in combat. It is very energetic, but rather tamely delivered, especially by Mr. NVeiss, who was not a very fierce giant. There is a remarkably fine double quartet, of somewhat peculiar con struction: the first quartet being female voices—sopranos and altos—and the second males—tenon and basses. The er ec t of (11vse two distinct bodies, heard alternately, and then joining, in eight nal parts, without any instrumental accompaniment, was very fine, though the singers, through some accidental mistake, made a false start at the outset. cabin windows of the Lord of the Isles. Me immediately gave the alarm, and by the exertions of the inhabitants of the place the fire was got out, but neither of the prisoners, though informed of the lire, got up or gave the slightest assistance. This, and some conversations which they had had of a suspicious character with other persons, was all the evidence affecting them. The vessel was afterwards examined by experienced persons from Liverpool, who gave it so their opinion that she had been set on fire wilfully. At the close of the learned counsel's opening, Serjesnt Murphy, for the prisoners, asked his lord ship's opinion whether there was any case for the jury against the prisoners beyond suspicion ? Ills lordship being of opinion that there was not, The learned counsel fur the prosecution said he could carry the ease no further, and would nut, therefore, per severe with it. The prisoners were thereupon Arquitted. This case concluded the criminal bindings, the assizes ter minating about six o'ctock. THE POLICE COURTS. BOW STREET. CATTION TO ONNIIIVR CONIWCTORO.—/MOitl Webb, a conductor to one of the Pimlico omnibuses, was sum moned, at the instance of Mr. Wray, the Metropolitan Police Receiver, with having carried more passengers in his omnibus than he was licensed for, on the afternoon of Thursday week last. The defendant pleaded guilty, and Mr. Wray said he was induced to institute these proceed ings in consequence of the defendant having admitted into his omnibus a boy who was suffering from small pox. The boy sat upon his mother's lap, and he made fourteen per sons in the vehicle, which exceeded the number the de fendant was licensed to carry. Mr. Jardine admonished the defendant for allowing chil dren who were suffering front a dangerous and loathsome disease to enter his omnibus, and said he was liable to a heavy penalty for carrying more than his usual number of passengers. He fined the defendant 10s. and costs, or ten days' imprisonment.—The tine was paid. - - CLERKENWELL. THIEVES AT Wuwa.—Two dirty-looking fellows, in mates of the " Kitchen," in Fox-court, Gray's-inn-lane, were charged by Sergeant Archer and Fisher, G division, with unlawfully melting pewter pots. It appeared from the evidence of the officers that on Saturday night last they had occasion to go to the "Kitchen," in Fox-court, Gray's-inn-lane, to look after a thief, and on entering the place they found the prisoners before a large tire, on which was an iron pot containing melted pewter. Hookes, who had hold of the handle of the pot, called out, " Here comes Fisher and Archer, throw it over them." They (the officers) seized the pot and secured the prisoners. The first, Hookes, denied having any knowledge of melting pewter. Fisher said the prisoner was a notorious housebreaker, and last sessions he was at the Old Bailey, dressed up in order to give two notorious thieves, who had been convicted and sentenced to transportation, a good character. Jordan denied being a thief; he went to the Kitchen merely as a lodger. He was discharged by Mr. Combc; who sentenced Hooke* to the House of Correction for three months, with hard labour. LAMBETH. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCII—YESTERDAY. SITTINGS AT Sin Pales AT GUILDHALL. EMU Loan CAMPUI.L AHD A Special. JUST. WHITHOHE r. SCHNEIDZIL AND OTHERS.—ACTION BY AN OITICIAL ARLHONEE TO RECOVER THE VALUE AL LEGED TO HAVE. BEEN FRAUDULENTLY DELIVERED BY • PARTY IN CONTEMPLATION OP BANKRUPTCY. Mr. Crowder, Q.C., Mr. Greenwood, Q.C., and Mr. Bovill were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Watson, Q.C., Mr. Bramwell, and Mr. Pitt 'faylor represented the defendants. This was an action brought by the official assignee of a Mr. Benjamin Smith, a bankrupt, now deceased, against the defendants, who were large copper merchants, to recover the value of some copper, which It was contended had been delivered in contemplation of bankruptcy, and to give a fraudulent preference to the defendants over Smith's other creditors. It appeared that a portion of the copper had been first delivered on the 26th of February, 1849, and the delivery terminated on the 4th of March. The fiat was issued on the 9th of March. Before this time Mr. Smith had become very ill and could nut in any way interfere in his businets. His bon then undertook to conduct the business, and deemed it advi•able to take the opinion of Mr. Maynard, a solicitor, of the firm of Crowder and Maynard. Mr. Maynard gave it as his opinion that Mr. Smith, ern., should be made a bankrupt, and a fiat was therefore issued. The defendants now contended that there had been no fraudulent delivery of the goods, as they had merely been sent in under a contract of the 12th of February. The copper had been paid for, and when it was delivered no bankruptcy was contemplated, because young Mr. Smith believed that his father's affairs could have been settled without bankruptcy, and that he was in a state of solvency. Lord Campbell then summed up, and said the point which the jury had to decide was whether, when the copper was sent to Messrs. Schneider and Company, it was in con templation of bankruptcy, or merely in pursuance of the terms of the contract existing between the parties. The jury then retired, and after an absence of nearly three quarters of an hour returned into court with a verdict for the defendants. COURT OF EXCHEQUER rYESTERDAT. Ifni Pmts.—Bums Sin P.

The plaintiff, who had then recently been married, had taken berths for himself and his wife for Port Natal, on the 21st of November, when he was arrested on a judge's order for 1511. The vessel sailed next day, and carried out the plaintiff anal his wife. He had sold a property called Cotherstone estate for 10..i00/., of which he was to have received upwards of I,tool. to his own account.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—YESTERDAY. names Ma. roaursiosas Paw Ira IN RE JAMES WGILL.—BILL TRANSACTIONS. This insolvent, who applied under the Protection Act, was opposed by Mr. Birnie, as counsel for two creditor.. He was discharged under the Prisoners' Act in 1829, and was a bankrupt in 1849, when he obtained his certificate. He was a trader, and the debts under the first insolvency were about 3,0001. Mr. Commissioner Phillips thought he had no jurisdiction to entertain the case in consequence of the former petition, as the debts exceeded 3001. A poiut was started, whether the certificate in bankruptcy was a bar to all the former debts, and Mr. Duncan, barrister, who attended in another cast, said, in answer to the court, that the certificate was a dis charge to the former debts. Mr. Commissioner Phillips considered that the point re quired consideration before he dismissed the petition, and the case had better proceed. The complaint was that the insolvent and a person named Burridge had manufactured some bills of exchange, as both were in the want of money. Burridge had himself taken the benefit of the act. Mr. Commissioner Phillips sent for Burridge's schedule, and found a number of bills between him and the insolvent. Mr. Birnie said there had been reckless conduct by the insolvent. Mr. Commissioner Phillips held that debts had been con tracted without reasonable expectations of payment, and he . had no jurisdiction to appoint a sitting for the final order. The ease was adjourned without protection. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—APPLEBY, FEB. 21. Mr. Baron Platt arrived here yesterday afternoon, and i m mediately opened the commission : after which his lord ship proceeded to church and heard divine service. This morning his lordship sat for the trial of prisoners at half-past 10 o'clock. There was no civil business whatever, not a single cause being entered for trial. CHARGE OF SETTING Flat TO A STEAMER. James Hilly, a respectable-looking man, and William Jackson Archer, were charged with setting fire to a steams vessel called the Lord of the Isles, the property of the Win dermere Steam Yacht Company, on the 31st of July last. It Appeared from the opening of the learned counsel for the prosecution that a company called the Windermere Steam Yacht Company had two steam-vessels plying on Lake Windermere, one called the Lord of the Isles and the other the Lady of the Lake, which plied alternately be tween Ambleside and Newby-bridge, calling at Bowness. On the evening of the 31st of July last both visseli were moored for the night at the pier at Bowness. The prisoner Hilly was fireman on board the Lord of the Isles, and the prisoner Archer was fireman on board the Lady of the Lake. Shortly before the Lord of the Isles reached Bowness that night Hilly went to the captain and said he smelt fire on board the vessel. In consequence every part of the vessel SW examined, hut no traces of any fire whatever were dis covered. This, it was suggested, had been done by him to disarm suspicions against himself, as he knew what was going tohappen. A man named Haydock was watchman onboard these two vessels at night, and before Haydock went on board the two prisoners only were left on each in his own vessel. On going down to the lake's side about 10 o'clock that night, Havdock met the prisoner Archer, and asked him where he'had left Hilly, and was , told he was still on board the Lord of the Isles. Ilaydock went on board that vessel, and shouted for him below, liut re e...ived no answer, and then stepped on hoard the other vessel, which was moored closet*, and went below to bed. He had not been below many minutes before he heard a footstep cross the deck, from the Lord of the Isles. About three o'clock neat morning II dock was awoke by the noise of fire, and on getting on to the deck he saw flame issuing out of the IMPUDLNT ROllliEltT.—E. Williams alias G. Miller, was placed in the dock before Mr. Elliot, on the charge of steal ing an easy chair, of the value of 21. , front the shop-door of Mr. Charles Kedge, a furniture broker and salesman in the ; Kent-road, as long ago as the 21st of September, 1849. The robbery in this instance was effected in the same daring manner as many others by the same gang, namely, by two men driving up in a light cart, and a third man handing in the property, and all driving off at a speed that ' insured escape. In the month of November following the prisoner made an attempt to get a portmanteau from the top of a cab in Bond-street, but having been closely watched by a constable he could not effect the robbery, but succeeded in getting into the cart with his compa nions. In driving away at a desperate rate the cart came in contact with the lamp-post, and the prisoner, who was much hurt by the fall, was secured, but his associates, George and John Ilackett, succeeded in getting off. For this offence the prisoner was brought to Marlborough-street Police-court, and sentenced to three months' impnsonmeut. At that time the prisoner was fully identified as being one of the persons who had stolen the chair from Mr. Kedges, and it was the intention of the officer to have taken him when released from prison, but he miscalculated the time, and by this means the prisoner again became at large. On Friday night he was taken in Mint-street, in the Borough, on a charge of being concerned, with a young fellow named Goodwin, in the Commission of two acts of sacrilege, in breaking into a church and a dissenting chapel, at Croydon. On these charges the legal evidence as to his identity was not sufficiently strong, and he was discharged, but hie companion was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. The testimony as to the prisoner having stolen the chair, the property of Mr. Kedge, was quite conclusive, and Storey, a City officer, in addition, said he was present when the prisoner and John Hackett had been convicted of felony, and when tho prisoner was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. SHIPPING INTBLLIGENCE.

Anise or Pentic SYMl'VrtlY.—ltatina Herbert, a, nempstress, who was charged in the autumn of last year with pawning some articles entrusted to her to be made up, and whose statements as to the under payment of needle women and the exigencies to which her husband's illness and want of employment had driven her, created so much sympathy with the benevolent, that upwards of 44/. were forwarded for her relief, was yesterday charged with illegally pawning six linen blouses, valued at 275., which were en trusted to her for making up by Elizabeth Mercer, a poor widow, residing in Storey-street, Stepney. Mr. Yardley said the case was a very bail one, and the prisoner's appearance is the dock showed that her condition had nothing in it to palliate. When her story of her sick husband and starving children first appeared in the journals, public bounty flowed in with so liberal a hand that the magistrate refused to become the recipient of donations for one whose immediate source of sympathy was the c orn , mission of crime too common amongst her class, and further inquiry showed that it was an offence of which she had been previously guilty. The consequence was that the ma- I Igistrates withheld the monies advanced for her giving the donors a month to reclaim the amounts, and in The event of no reclamation, devoting the sums to the general poor box. Notwithstanding this, however, her statements were so plausible, that she received upwards of 201. through various channels ; and notwithstanding the benevolent sympathy exhibited in her behalf, she repeated the practices on the poor widow who was the complainant on the present ocea- 1 sion. It was an exceedingly bad ease, and he (Mr. Yardley) hoped it would teach the public not to be too ready in sympathising with crime where objects could be found more worthy of their sensibilities. lie would be the last to check the effusions of kindness ; but the prisoner had shown herself entirely unworthy of the sympathies which she had excited ; she appeared disposed to trade upon the humanity of the public, but she would find herself mis taken. One who so frequently transgressed in this manner most not escape the punishment which such an offence deserved, and he should inflict upon her the heaviest penalty that the law permitted. She had not shown any contrite disposition, by telling where the articles had been pawned, so as to enable him to order them to he delivered up to the poor woman who would now be at the loss, hut maintained a dogged silence throughout. She must therefore pay 275., the amount of the property pawned, together with a fine of 51. Sur the illegal pawning, or be imprisoned for two calendar months. The prisoner, who exhibited a very callous demeanour throughout, was locked up in default. MARKETS.
