At Ae it four o'clock on Friday morning, the Vale Pool (situate on an elevation at the west end of Coagleton), sweLles to en unusual height by the heavy rain, overflowed, and washed away several yards of the embankment. A dews* volume of water rushed along the culvert which runs Waugh the centre of the town, and which, though eight to ten feet wide, did sot afford a sufficient outlet for the overflow. The result was that the stream rose to 5 or 6 feet above its ordinary level, flooding every boilding in she vicinity. Cellars were filled to the ceiling, and basement storeys were flooded Mt. or lift. deep. In some of the cottages slow the comae of the stream women and children had to be roamed through the bedroom windows. A bridge and part of the Vale-read were washed away. In the ironmonger's shop of Mr. Farrington ' three strong doors were forced away ; goods were washed from the front shop into the street, and in the dining room, chairs, tables, sideboards, and piano were floated about in the surging flood, which left its water mark on the mirror over the mantelpiece. In the shop of Mr. Chapman, chemist, casks of oil were bunt, and about 2(1) gallons lost in the water which flooded the cellar. Other shopkeepers and manufactories had been similarly Mimed. The km is very serious, sod is estimated in the aggregate at between 1,0001. and 2,0001. Ir Macclesfield, the River Bolin rose to a coosiderable height, and washed down the wooden bridge at the foot of Brunswick-bill.

One of the most horrible and revolting crimes which it boa ever fallen to our lot to record was committed LP on Frisky night or . 4 os Saturday morning, at • small colliery, situated is sow Wigan, sod not more than • mile or • mile and a from the boundary of the borough. The particulars of the affair, so far ea we have been able to glean them, are as follows :--The scene of the murder is the Bawkhouse, or Buttes-pit, • colliery belong leg to the Earl of Orawford sad Bakarres, and sheeted not more than 600 yards distant from the Bed Rook bridge on the aural from Wigan to Lancaster. It is in the township of Haigh, and is not more than a few minutes' walk from the Worthingeo• paper milk, where only last month a watchman wee brufelly assaulted by • couple of burglars who intended to sock the counting-house. The seam worked at the colliery is the Arley Nine, and as the pit makes • great deal of water • pumping metre has been erected, and is kept at work night and. day. On Friday evening, about six o'clock, • man named John Ber ta), a fireman, came on duty oo the night turn, he having to attend to the tire and keep the engine at work. He was healthy and in good spirits, and be wee left by his brother workmen, who little thought they had then seen him for the last time. At three o'clock next morning the fireman who bad to relieve Barton same to his work as usual, but we astonished to find the fire under the boiler completely out, the steam very low, and the engine stopped. He sought in all directions for Barton, bet as be was not to be found be proceeded to his madame, • short distance from the pit, to me if he wee there. Barton's eon, alarmed at the disappearaucie of his father, got up and assisted in the search, and on • minute examination of the cabin, near the fireplace, blood wee dis covered sprinkled upon the floor, and a crowbar was also found with blood upon it. Information was now given to the police, and the tidinp spreading rapidly through the neighbourhood a further sod complete investigation was made, when drops of blood were traced from the chin to the fire-hole, and the plate in front of the furnace was also found to be smearedwith pre The horrible supposition which this circumstance gave rise to, viz., that Barton bad been murdered and his body then thrown into the boiler tire, to be consumed, was, we regret to state, immediately confirmed. The ashes of the furnace were carefully raked out, when several small articles were discovered, which pieced the fact *boost beyoud doubt. What woe found may be epitomised an a couple of handsfol of what appear' to be the charred remnants of human bones, a few buttons, a hackle, a couple of double teeth, and a few small nails, used in the making of boots, and termed " sparrablea” These latter were found at the extreme end of the furnace, and the teeth near the door, thus leading to the conclusion that the body bad been put in feet foremost. The fierce draft of the furnace would soon consume the body and leave but the fragments we have mentioned to tell the horrible tale. The motive of the murderer or murderers it is difficult to conjecture. Barton was • respectable, quietly-disposed man, and the idea that he was murdered in revamp by any enemies he might have bad is entirely scouted by the readmits of the data& The most probable suppositioo is, that the inten tion wee to rob him, as he was known to possess a rather valuable silver watch, and that the thieves, instead of stun ning him only did more then they intended, and killed him, sad afterwards threw the body into the furnace as the asaket mods of disposing of it, and the one least liable to lead to detection. No traces of the watch have as yet been found, and it is probable • little odd money Barton had upon him was all the booty obtained in return for the perpetration of the atrocious crime. Barton was about 60 or 60 years of age. He we married end has several children. The fsmily are highly respected in the district, one of the brothers of the murdered man holding a farm in Haigh under the Bail of Crawford sad Balcarrea. The police were most amiduous in their exertions during the whole of Saturday, and the affair is now in the hands of men who will, we believe, discover the criminals if dis covery is parable. THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY. On Saturday afternoon Dr. Lanktster held an inquest at the Lord Walloon Tavern, Uaiveraitystrnes, Totteohan.-oourt•road, on the bodice of William Coker, aged 44, and William Jeffreys. aged 37, plat►layen in the service of the Loudon nod North Western Railway Coro. patty, who kin their lives through injuries received in the Primrose -hill Twine' by a passing train.

The prosecutor was sworn, and identified the defen dant Hunt u the person alluded to under that mime in his evidence. The Laing lasted for upwards of three hours and a 14 the cams was again adjourned. GUILDHALL Elizabeth Tinworth, and Thereat Tieworth, her husband, were charged, the former with stealing a puns from Miss Cherry, and the latter with attempting to rescue his wife. Colonel liillyard said be was wining out of St. Paul's on Friday afternoon with Miss Cherry, when the latter called out that the female prisoner had stolen her purse. He im mediately seized her, upon which she aid it was a little boy who had taken the parse, and the next moment she pointed to the purse, which wee lying on the ground at his feet. While be wu picking up the puma, the prisoner suddenly wrenched herself out of his grasp, and ran away. The male prisoner then ran up, and tried to prevent his securing the female, but he managed to catch her. The man again tried to rescue her, but he (witness) continued his hold. The puree, unfortunately, be had not put into the hands of Mir Cherry, as he intended, before he started to catch the prisoner, sod it wee banded to another person by mistake, Belford, • ipolice (inflatable, deposed to the attempted rescue by the male prisoner, and said be knew the female prisoner had served a four years' sentence for steeling a watch. _ . triaL --. prisoners denied the charge, and were oommitted for The BOW-STREET. _ . . Three lads, named Collins Wriihr, and 27torse, who stated that they got their living by selling newspapers at Regent•circus, were charged by /Folios-constable F 120 with having in their possession a sirloin of beef, value 11. lbs., which had been stolen from the shop al Mr. Domeier, butcher, of Great Rumen-street, Covent-garden. Policeman F 120 stated that about novon o'clock on Fri day morning he was peening along Maidea-lane, on his return home. after coming off duty, when he mw the prisoners carrying something balky in a sack. Upon seeing him they threw it down and ran away. He followed them, but lost them in the humid. He then took the meat to the station house, and was again on his way home, when he met the prisoners again in Russell-street, a few doors from Mr. Dos motor's shop. About 20 minutes had elapsed since he first saw them. Mr. Demeter said that the sirloin had been stolen from his shop that morning. The shop was open at 6 o'clock. The prisoners protested that they were not the persons whom the constable had seen in Maiden-lane. They did not now know where Maiden-lane was. They lived in Gray's-buildings, a little passage leading out of Gee'ecourt, Oxford-street ; and when stopped by the constable they were going to Holywellatreet to buy their papers. They had for six years sold papers at the Regent-circus , Oxford street. Thorne said he could produce witnesses to prove that be was at home until half-part 7, not having got up till 7 o'clock. They all declared that they could produce good witnesses to character. The Constable—There warn en officer here who can give theme character. Thoroe—l an quite certain he can't say anything against us. Mr. Heart'—What do you mean by saying that he can give them a ' character" . The Constable—He knows them from teeing them about Gee's-court making a great deal of noise. Hr. Henry—That is not what anybody would suppose you meant by giving them a character. You should nos hays used that expression. Thorne—l wish you would send for my father. He keep a stall in Oxford-street. He came to me at 7 o'clock and called me up ! and I gave him 10a to go to market with. I have given him 10s. every Saturday for years. Then there is the coffee-shop keeper where I breakfasted. I bad a ha'porth of coffee and a peon'orth of bread and butter. And there were two boys I met in the street up that way. The Constable said be had been to the coffee-shop, but the landlord did not remember the circumstance. Mr. Henry desired him to go and fetch the coffee-house keeper and the other persons mentioned. The constable went away, end in the course of the after noon returned with the coffee-house keeper and a crowd of the friends of the prisoners. The coffee-house keeper swore that Collins and Thorne breakfasted at his house shortly after 7 o'clock. Mr. Henry said, if that was so, they could not have been in Maiden-lane, a distance of two miles, at ten minutes past seven. The constable said he was positive they were the boys. Mr. Henry said it seemed almost incredible that they could have gone back to the very spot where the robbery was committed if they were the persons, especially as they must surely know that he would take the meat to the station, in doing which ha would pass Mr. Doesetor's shop. The coffee-shop keeper stated that when the constable drat called on him it was about 3 o'clock. The constable mid that was impossible. as he did not take the pumpers till half-put 7. Mr. Henry said that was clearly an error. Two labourers, well acquainted with the prisoner'', proved having met them in Clouit-street at a quarter past • . Mr. Henry, after careful consideration, was convinced that the officer was mistaken in their identity. The prisoners were discharged, but the constable still persisted that be was right.

CRIME IN THE METROPOLITAN DISTRICT. It has been remarked that for a considerable time pan the number el p inc ers committed to these sae stone bas goes ea tac r wmg at every meeting of the court. The effect of this is, that although within the last few years the corporation of Loodon have expended a considerable sum of money in enlarging the gaol of Newgate, and in providing means for the sepa ration of the prisoners before and after their trial, these extended resources have proved inadequate to the require melte of the prison • and although up to the present time it has not been fo und necorary to resort to any extra measures, it is evident that if the present state of things should continua, Newgate will be found too small, and it will become necessary to build a (rah corridor or in some other way provide for the reception of a larger number of prisoners. It appears from inquiries that have been made from official sources, that, the same state of things prevails at the Penitentiary, klillbank, and also at the City prison at Holloway, so that it is not at all unlikely that the removal of convicts from this country will force itself epoch the attention of the government, as there really will not be suffloiest room in the different prisons of the kingdom to oostaio the number of convicts and criminals that are at Facet being poured into them. MURDER at iaz Nsw Foam. —Shortly after 11 o'clock on the night of Friday, the 26th of December, a party of about a does, men and boys left the White Hart lon, at Oadnam whine they had been carousing, but nose of them appeared to be in liquor.

He then ran out of his Nother's house, and fetched • large piece of wood (part of • fir-pole, which had been mad as • post rammer), and after swinging it round two or three times with both his heads, threw it with all his might over the pales towards the spot where Whitehore stood.

The Metropolitan Railway will be opened for traffic on Saturday next. Everything is ready ; signals, points, switches, permanent way, retaining walla, carriages, and all the et ceteras necessary for the eels u 4l efficient working of a railway, are pronounced in eatisfactory order, and on Friday next members of the Court of Alder men and of the Common Council, members of parliament. and of various railway boards, and long-expectant share holders, will celebrate the close of an important public work by a grand bstiquet. On Saturday, the directors of the Great Western Railway travelled over the line, and in their presence every signal was tasted, and found to, work satisfactorily. On Tuesday again trains will run upon the line at intervals of a quarter of an hour during the day, foe the purpose of making the officials and servants more fully conversant with the line. The station in Farringdoe street has been very tastefully fitted up as a banquetting hall to accommodate 600 persons. The bands of the various detachments of the City police assembled at the station, and performed a selection of light and cheerful music, with the view of their being employed at the banquet. Their performances gave complete satisfaction to the directors, end arrangements will be made, with the sanction of Mr. 1). W. Harvey, the police commissioner, for their atten dance at the banquet, in the character of musicians. The question of fares has been one of mach consideration with the directors, and they have decided that the most pru dent coulee will be to proceed cautiously with the working of the line. They have their fears as to the effeeta of " rush" of passengers until their employe* have become better acquainted with the railway. It is this feeling which has no doubt led them to place the fame at very much higher rates than the public genera/1y were led to expect, sod which must be considerably reduced U the directors hope to compete successfully with their rivals, the buses. For the whole distance the fare will be : First. class 6d., second 4d., third 3d. ; return tickets 9d., Gd., sad lkl., according to dui For intermediate stations, or to or from Portland-rod station to Farringdou-street or Pad dington 4d., 3d., and 2d. ; return ticket being respectively 6d., 4d., and 3d. Parliamentary trains will run at the Ma -1 ;edited rate of Id. per mile, butt!), fare by them will, in reality, be no lower for the third class than by ordi nnaarryy trains, as the distance is 3i miles, and the ordinary thW clime fare, 3d. The company are not bound by the act to run what are called "working-men's trains," which are required by all acts peened during the last two years. in asses where the railway lies destroyed say dwellings of the poorer classes. The Metropolitan Railway has not touched any property of this description. It will do so, however, in the course of its extension to Finsbury, and by the act au thorising that portion, the company are bound to run a train eight and mender/ at very reduced ratea. It was • part r 4 the project of the late Mr. Pestles to have • number of workmen's dwallineps erected at Wormwood Scrubs, to which the working clauses would be ccaveyed cheaply by the railway.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Hatnes,(T7, .15;vi.: 1 :tiresi,iiTuTeisy..qa., was summoned before Hr. Knox for en &moult on Admiral Shepherd. Mr. Edward Lewis was for the defendant Admiral Shepherd said—l took lodgiogs at the defendant's house, in Davies-street. On the day of the assault Davies-stree t. I got up at S o'clock, and went to Grove'. and ordered a turbot and lobster. I got back to breakfast, and as my month for the lodgings was up, the defendant mentioned the circumstance to me. I told him I would get my cheque-book to draw • cheque for trifles that were owing. The defendant mid be hoped I would pay him what I owed him. I said, " That is about • guinea." He replied, I owed him 81. I said, "Don't you remember I gave you • 51. note and some silver ?" Be raid, " No." " Very well," I said, " then this is my room for the time ; he so good as to quit it." The defendant went out, and I afterwards called on two ladies, old friends, and said to them, "You have pkoty of time to spare, would you like to lo ok at my lodginp They said they would, sod we went so Daviesstreet. When the door was opened, the defendant promoted himself sod "No women shall come in here." I asked the ladies to walk into the shop, and then I said to the defendant, " What do you mean, you reseal?" or words to that effect. The defendant came behind me—not in front—he dared not do that, and he struck me—behind, n.ind you—three blows, which knocked me down. It is the first time I hate been amaulted by a blackguard. I west immediately to the Water loo Hotel, and afterwards got • summons. The defendant' found out when I was, and said to me, " Do you intend to pay the 12/. 22. you owe r I said, "I do not owe you any. thing." He said, " You du, and 11l give you in charge for exposing— t es, that's the word -for exposing your person iodeceutly. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Before the blows were struck I mid& few words to the defendant. I was drawing an inference. The words had reference to the defendant's wife. The ladies I had with me were emphatically lad l i ii l lowis—The day before you brought home a lady. Was she respectable! Admiral Shepherd—ho. Mr. Lewis—Was she Dot • prostitute? Admiral Shepherd—Yes ; I believe so. I have only seen her once, but I hope to wee her spin. Mr. Lewis—Now, Admiral Shepherd, I ask you, did you not say in reference to the defendant's wife, " that woman wanted me to sleep with her." Admiral Shepherd (loudly)—No. Mr. Lewis—What did you mean by saying that io using certain words you were drawing an inference? Admiral Shepherd—l meant that they wanted to lead me ioto a trap ; that the wife wanted meth commit adultery with her, and the husband to catch me. I never said the defendant's wife solicited ate improperly. I was struck from behind without provocation. Jobe Cushicio.cabenatt, proved that oa the day of the assault he drove Admiral Shepherd to twenty di ff erent places. He brought Admiral Shepherd and two ladies, who appeared to be respectable, to No. 7, Devies.street. The defeudaut and his wife came to the door. Mr. Haloes said to Admiral Shepherd he would have oo more of that, for the Arboind hail bad somebod, there yesterday. Admiral Shepherd made some remark, and the &geode's "Amok the adminda blow. . _ Mr. Kona -Try to recollect the *suet words he used. Witness—They were, that if Mrs. Haines could be in the way instead of the two ladies there would he no objec tion to his doing as be liked, or words to that effect. Mr. linux=Was the blow instantaneous on the words? Cabman—He knocked him hate the shop, andtie;a;;,...l went sprawling among the boots and shoe.. Cross examined by Mr. E. Lewis—Should say that Admiral Shepherd wan not sober. Did sot see the admiral drink, but bs (the cabman) wan to lake anything he liked. C.dled io at Owen Swift's. at Jemmy Shaw's, the Admiralty, and other ham.. Could not nay what the admiral took ioside the homes he celled at. The admiral appeared middling s tead y. Mr. Lewis, for the deleodaat, mid it was singular that Admiral Shepherd should feel so desirous of making it ap pear that he meociated with none but ladies of respectabi lity, when he badadmitted that on the prrvious day be had takes a woman of loose character to the house, and had opealy expensed a hope that he should see her again. The 1863. defendant was naturally Indignant when the complaisant brought two ladies the next day. In the excitement of the moment he mid, "You pat my house to an improper par pose yesterday and you sbarl not do so again." Upon this Admiral Shepherd made nee of scandalous imputations regarding the defendant's wife, and the defendant imme diately struck him. Taking the words u stated by the ' cabman, there was but one inference to be placed on them, and the defendant, on bearing them, only did what every Englishman would do—he knocked the speaker down. Kr. Knox said the case was a painful one ; for it cer tainly was painful to see a person in the complainant's position, bolding high rank in the Queen's service, giving I such evidence in a court of justice. Be must believe the cabman's statement. He must believe that Admiral Shep herd said something improper in allusion to the feadant's wife, whereupon the defendant knocked !dm I down. The question to decide was this—was Admiral Shepherd's statement untrue, or the statement of the cab man? He believed the statement of the cabman was true. He believed that Admiral Shepherd, labouring under ex citement at the time, did nee expressions from which the defendant was justified in drawing the inference that some thing insulting was intended. Although the law would not permit personal assaults. it allowed mega/trate, to take Cir cumstances of justification into consideration. There could be no stronger justification alleged than what bad been dated ; and he would put it to Admiral Shepherd to say what would.have been his feelings and his acts bad his wife or sister been the subject of the remark he bad himself addressed to the defendant. He would not glue a farthing damages, becausethat would complicate the police ihodoupti_ ; but he would put on the fine of id., which he thought would meet the justice of the case. Admiral Shepherd then took his place as defendant on a summons for refusing to pay the legal fare of a cabman. Frederick Baldwin, cabman, mid be took the defendant on the 29th of December to a number of plane. One was to a coffeashop, where the defendant called the waiters a set of white•aproned —. When be wan discharged, he bad been two hours and a half engaged, and he asked ifs. for time. The defendant pulled aside the skirts of his coat and told him to take it out of that. Mr. ICtios could only assume that the defendant was labouring under some kind of hallucination, for a mon dlr creditable case be bad never beard since be had been a magistrate. He bad beard thousands of cases in which the dregs of society were concerned, but nose worse than this. The conduct of the defendant was disgraceful to the ser vice to which be belonged, and he should at once order him to psy the full demand and costa. Admiral Shepherd—l don't think I have deserved this admonition, and I shall-- 1 I f !' } . ( °?x7 ll . l ° c!" is ended.. Admiral Shepherd—Recollect thee* is such ► person as the Rom* Secretary. Mr. Knox—The defendant mast leave the °out ; if not the officers must remove him. Mary Wood, a ferule about 50 years of are, wee charged before Yr. Knox arab the following robbery at the shop of Mr. Robert James Winter, draper, of 30, Goedge-etreet, Totteaham-eoerbrced. The primmer was seen by Georg* Henry Stokley, mini& door porter to the prosecutor, to go up to a piece of mohair consisting of about 45 yards, and take out two pies. She . then crowd over to a publiohoom, and shortly after rm turned and took up the pace of stuff, and having placed it under her shawl, walked off with it. The lad then west after her and secured her, and brought her back to the prosecutor's, when she was given into custody. The value of the stuff waa 15s. In answer to Mr. Knox, the witness said the prisoner was quite sober. Clink, 47 E, said, on taking the prisoner into custody, she stated that she oily took up the mohair to look at the quality. She had given a false address. Mr. Knox remanded her for further inquiries to be made. THLYES, Thomas Watkins, a powerful and ruffianly-looking fellow, described as • painter and house decorator, of No. 14, Fre ' derick-street, Limehouse, was charged with committing a savage assault on Francis Green, of No. 2, Devonport-street, Itatcliff-highway, mattress maker. A medical certificate was put in, stating that the prose cutor was in the London Hospital with a severe wound of the scalp, and was not in a fit 000ditiou to be removed. Walker, a police-constable, No. 488, said he had just seen the patient, who was in a dangerous condition. He produced a supple leathern thong, to which a heavy piece of lead in the shape of a ball bad been attached at owe end. The prisoner struck the prosecutor with this deadly in strumeut on the bead with such tremendous force that be dislodged the leaden ball from the thoug, and it was found in the gutter. It appeared that there had been an old grudge between the parties, and that the prosecutor was quar relling in Gannon-street-road, St. George's, with • woman who has been for some time cohabiting with the prisoner. Green and the woman began fighting, and were struggling on the ground. The prisoner came up with his rough life-pre server in his hand, and said, " 111 finish the —dead, and kill him," and then struck him with all the force he could muster on the head with the instrument and rendered him ' senseless. The prisoner then sneaked away, and concealed ' himself behind the mob which had assembled to witness the affray, and threw sway the " life preserver," which one of the witnesses called a life destroyer. It was recovered by a man and handed over to the police. The prisoner on being taken into custody said be had never seen the "stick" as he called the thong and lead. The case was fully made out against the prisoner. He was remanded until the complainant, Green, is m s fit con dition to appear against him. MARKETS.

The week's import is 13,8:16 bales. oarroN GOODS. —lllmratzersa, JAL a- The mar ket has not been very aotivethie week, having been inter fered with by the holidays; but we have had a rather eager inquiry from buyers both of yarn and cloth. The report that the brokers in Liverpool had found 100,000 bales of cotton more in stock at the annual stock-taking on Wednesday than the trade had been led to expect gave a check to business and some decline in prices, bus the market appears to have now pretty much recovered from it. In grey printers production is rather on the nacreous at advancing rates. For 9.Btbs, 5-4ths, and 6-4ths printers there is also an increase of production, but prices are rather irregular. Most of the makers, however, are under orders. Domestia are light in stock and linn. In T cloths prices rather check business. The demand is chiefly from the borne trade, and is rather on the increase ; but buyers hesitate at giving the advancing rates demanded through the late heavy ries of cotton. In yarn there has been a good business on the whole, and the inquiry, which is for nearly all markets, has induced a belief that much heavier sales might hare been effected bet for the considerable advance in prices on Tuesday, which in some of the liner counts, from Egyptian cotton, was Id. to 2d. per lb. In One instance we heard of • spinner declining to take orders at leas than 5..1. per lb, advance on the rates at which he had just cleared oat his old stock. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Litipa, JAN. 3.—The year has opened with better markets this morning in both depart merits than have bees known for some time.

A fair quantity of light mediums in the white also changed hands both in unions and all wools, principally low and middle qualities. HARDWARE.—BIRMINONAM, JAN. 3.—There has been the usual quiet in the trade of this town this week ; at some of the niaeufactories bushman was reconimeueed on Thursday, but the rolling mills are most of them stseding, • and there will not be much doing for the next week or tea days, as there are very few orders coming in on account of the home trade. The geeeralitrade of the town has been for the past six mouths tolerably healthy ; in the first quarter, ' sod indeed all through the spring, a good deal of languor prevailed, but towards Ilidatunuier au improvement became visible, sod from that time to the end of the year there has been a steady if Dot a brisk trade doing. Stocks have Dot been augnieuted, yet our population has been fully employed, and pauperism Las gradually diminished. Upon the whole, the past has been by no means an unprosperous year fur this town. Next week is the quarterly meeting of the irounuisters, but it is not anticipated there will be much of animation.
