Reory iimberr, a porter, was placed at the b.sr Wore Aliennau Hale, charged with steslin% two voluino. of a magisterial synopsis from the shop of Messrs. Hamilton and Co., Paternoster-row, value Ms. William Simmons, 461, said from information be re ceived lie went to Mr. Ooffinger's, 174, Fleet-street, and asked the prisoner to wooed for the possession of those books, and he replied that he found them in the British Museum. He smut with him to the British Museum, and there ho stated that an old gentleman loft them on the seat, and he brought them down and tried to find him, but could not, and then brought them away, thanking he might got a reward for them. He did not believe the prisoner, and took him into custody. The prisoner said if he did not lock him trp he efrould tell the truth about them. He then said he stole them from Meson. Hamilton's, on Thursday, when he went there with an order from Mr. Cuffingar. Mr. Effinger said the prisoner bad been in his employ as porter and messenger only. a few days, and on Thurs day he sent him to Mesas. Hamilton's for some books. On Friday he brought the two volumes produced, and said that his father had given them to him to sell. Ile raw the father, and be said he did not send the bad with them, but that be brought them home in the morn. ing, and took them away in the evening. Ale:wider Richardson, amristant to Messrs.

They were safe on Thursday, and put by for a customer. .4/ illiam Lewis, 466, proved a summary conviction against the prisoner at this court in October, 1866, for stealing coats from the school of Means.

Other convictions were proved against him then. Alderman Hale remanded the prisonor. MR NORTON FOLOATE iftIRDSR. EXECUTION OP TUE /SUNDERED—(FIDI DAT.) Alexandra Arthur llaoksy. a lad only 19 years old, was executed this morning withia the walls of the gaol of Nowgate, for the murder of his mistress, Hauls OsumiUs. The execution took place, is aooordatioe with the &mauled state of the law upon the subjeot, in meet the pia& of the privet, the old drop and soalfold Wing made um of for the purloin,. 'The gallows was °rooted in ono coiner of tho yard, soul bartioni wore emoted, in front or which woo &cod about a dozen poliouinen. The only other venoms present wore Mr. Sheriff Id-Arthur, Under aturill and Uudor-ikerilf ltooho, the ordinary (abater'. Mr. Jonas), the govorn or of the prison, Mr. Jams, and the surgeon, Mr. Usbeun. Thew are the only offt• ciao who were present The only stranger* present wore the reprerentativee of the press, and a eon of Mr. Justioe Lush, before wham, it may he remembered, the prisoner was tried. The offence of which the prisoner was convicted was • very aggravated one. Ile had evidently nourished a fooling of anger against his mistress. On the day when the unhappy occurrence took place she rebuked him for something or other, and he attacked her with a heavy rolling-pin used by her in her business of an eating-house keeper, and inflicted • number of d'ee perste wounds upon her head, wkioh caused her death very alertly afterwards. The prisoner made his escape at the time, and would, possibly, have evaded justice alto gether bad he not been committed to Maidstone Gaol for some trivial offence. While in custody in that prison he unguardedly made a communication to a fellow prisoner that he was accused of murder, and • this led to his being taken into oustody. After his 001krie tioni_ it he sent a petition for mercy be the HOMO tary, but the case was considered one of so serious a character that it was impossible to extend to him the clemency of the crown, and the law was left to take its course. According to he statement of the Heir. F. Jones, the ordinary of the gaol, the culprit was undoubtedly sincerely penitent for his crime. He re tie= expressed his sorrow at having de rived the of the assessed el a trite sod his of a mother, and said that be iha ale was worse in him because he had himself been deprived of • mother when very young, and knew the extent of the loss. He frequently alluded to this spontaneously, and there are good grounds for believing that he deeply and sincerely regretted the crime be had committed. Is paid great attention to the religious ex hortations of the worthy ordinary, and appeared to be very much impressed with the text, " Whose oometh to me I will in no wise cast out." At his earnest request, and alter deliberation, the Rev. Mr. Jones administered the holy sacrament to the culprit on Sunday afternoon, and his conduct was most becoming on the occasion. He was visited on Saturday afternoon by his father and two sisters, and they remained with him for nearly an hour. The interview was, of course, of a most distressing and painful character. In the course of the conversation the prisoner acknowledged the justice of his sentence, and declared himself qeite prepared to die. Although he has, of course, never attempted to deny that his was the hand that caused the death et his mistress, the account ho gave of the matter was that she was always " nagging" at him and that she also frequently pushed him and struck him. On the morning in question he stated that she had kept on complaining of him, as he said, without any just cause, and that she at length gave him a violent push, and at the same moment flicked " him with a cloth she had in her hand, and hurt him a good deal. In the excitement occasioned by what had taken place, he seized the rolling-pin and struck her on the head with it, and he was unable to control himself afterwards, and continued beating her until she became senseless. He then made his escape, not expect ing for a moment that her death would be the conse quence of hie violence. This statement of the prisoner is believed to be strictly consistent with the truth, and if it be true, there have certainly been worse cases of murder in which the clemency of the crown has been ex tended to the criminal, particularly when the youth of the pneoner is taken into consideration. The only persons upon the scaffold were the culprit, the ordinary, and the executioner, Calcraft. The unhappy youth prayed in a most fervent manner during the whole period of the preparations for the execstion, and his last words, utterred in a most impressive manner, were—" Oh, Lord God, have mercy upon me." The sentence was hardly out of his mouth when the drop fell, and after a few convulsive struggles he ceased to exist. Notwithstanding the tact that it was fully known that the execution would be conducted within the walls of the prison, and that nothing connected with the proceedings would be visible outside, as the hour approached for the carrying out of the sentence, a numbor of persons, principally men and boys, numbering altogether, perhaps, a couple of hundred, assembled outside the prison, and gaped with apparent interest at the outside of tho gaol. At the moment when the drop fell a black flag was hoisted on the front of the gaol, and this was the only indication to the persons assembled outside that the awful ceremony was concluded. The body was cut dowa after hanging for an hour, and a coroner's inquest -will be held upon it in the course of the afternoon. TBE ALLEGED BTRDER OP A POLICE -0111(BR IN SHOBEDITUIL This morning, the adjourned inquest waa re sumed before Mr. Humphreys, the coroner, at the Bull Tavern, Lever-street, St. Luke's. Some additional evi dence having been taken, the coroner summed up. He remarked on the fact that the deceased himself stated that he bad not been assaulted, and said there could be little doubt that he had been drinking, and that the falls by which he was injured were caused by no one but him self. The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict " That the deceased met with his death by accidental falls, and that he was sober at the time." The coroner read the verdict, and the foreman said " Wee sober at the time." Coroner—l have read the words to you. Foreman—We wiah it to go in, for mbetatemento have been made, and they are calculated to damage. Coroner—l am bound to accept your verdict, but lam quite of a different opinion. Officer, diwolve the court. The proceedings then terminated. FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT WESTON-SUPER- Maui—On Saturda_ y morning Thomas Mitchell, boatman to Henry Brittain, Esq., having, in company with his son, a lad of some ten years of age, taken Mr. Brittanis yacht Agnes out to her anchorage in the bay, was about to leave the yacht for the shore in a small punt which lay at the stern of the yacht. The sea was beautifully calm, but by reason of the state of the tide a tremendous current set round the Island of Birnbeck, where the Agnes was anchored. From what could be seen from the shore by some persons at Anchor Head, Mitchell stepped on the side of the punt, and it is believed that one of the ropes hitched and :dewed the small boat round broadside to the current. The boat was capsized, and Mitchell thrown into the water. Unfortunately the poor fellow could not swim well, and the strength of the tide overcame him, and he was drowned in sight of hie son. Mr. Coke, owner of the Afro, which was lying some short distance from the yacht, put off in a small boat, but was unfortunately too late render assistance. He, however, took the poor lad on shore. The body of the unfortunate man was picked up on Sunday afternoon. A BOY HANGED.—Yeaterday afternoon Mr. Booth, coroner, held an inqueet concerning the death of a boy named Thomas Wood an orphan, aged 14 years, respectably connected, at Longton, Staffordshire. The deceased was a sharp, intellligent lad, and had for some time been engaged at the office of Mr. Robinson, solicitor, as writing clerk. On Saturday morning he was missed from the office where he was employed, and in the after noon was found dead, hanging by a rope to a beam in an outhouse in the rear of Mr. Robinson's premises. Nothing to satisfactorily account for this extraordinary occurrence was laid before the coroner ; but it was stated the youth had been probably experimenting, he having been reading seine trashy books on the subject of hanging, and wins sheet, of blotting paper being found pLiq..d round his neck. The jury retained an open verdict of " Found hanged.' A HEROINE.—A sorrowful case of death by drowning occurred at Keithhall, near Aberdeen, last week. A little girl, named Mary Ritchie, only 20 months old, was playing near her grandfather's house, at Woodland, with some other children, when she accidentally stumbled into a draw-well, which had, unfortuna tely , b een left uncovered. The well was nearly Id feet to and contained be tween three and four feet of water. children at once gave the alarm when the accident happened, and the girl's her ran immediately to the place, and Jumped atT dz stlVvell on teeing the little ereature Boating in the water. Some time elapsed, however, before Resistance could be obtained to get the courageous woman and the poor child out of their dangerous position ; and when they were brought up from the well it was found tha m tih n e e tirl was dead. Dr. Paterson, of Inveruale, who hap to be in the neighbourhood, applied the usual ratites within 13 minutes after the child was taken from the water, but they proved unavailing. A FATAL MISTAKE.—A woman named &with Mills, nod 47, lately employed in picking hops for Mr. Richard Seedy, of ("mutate, went to her employer a fow days ago and asked for some laudanum, alleging that she wanted to use it as a liniment, she being evi dently reluctant to admit her real purpose. Mr. tieelly not having any laudanum, she was supplied with a small quantity of tincture of aconite, and was at the some time throng!y cautioned as to its dangerous nature. The deceased, who was in the habit of Liking laudanum, did not, it appear., folly appreciate tie: fatal strength of the poison she had obtained as a sub. etitute for her usual potion, and she swallowed it, as she &chard to her daughter afterward• in total ignonuico as to what It really was. imn o liately en the mistake being iliwovered, reediest help w: a .ibtained for the unfortunate woman, but, notwithstani ing every effort to lava her, she rtAiidly sank, and died in a • cairn of a few hours.

Alf 0171(10178 POLICRXAN. Te ire Ilaeaeaswd, aged 29 , a labourer, of 28. Bridge water-street, lloener's-town, was charged before Mr. Cooke with assaulting his wife Emma. The wife, who gave her evidence in a very pert way, said that between 11 and 12 o'clock at night * her husband came home, and she sated him how he had enjoyed him self with his friends, he being • cricketer, and playing with the one legged eleven. having loot one of his legs in the navy. Re told her he wanted none of her "say," and because she would talk to him he struck her with his open hand on the forehead. After that she went into the street, and some time afterwards meeting a constable she gave him into custody. Mr. Cooke asked why the defendant had been taken into custody, as the complainant had got no marks of violence about her, and the assault, according to her own showing, was a s sae iu. slight one. The constable one of the Y division, attached to Somer's-town) ho heard a great noise in the street, and, going there, he saw the man and woman. The wife gave the defendant into custody for assaulting her. Mr. Cooke—Did you see any assault committed' The constable—No; but I asked her if she had got a violent blow, and as she said she had, I took him into custody. Mr. Cooke—lt was highly improper for you to take the defendant into custody when you saw no marks of violence and did not witness any assault. It was a much better case for a summons. Were the parties sober ? The constable said that both of them were sober, and repeated that he saw nothing of the assault, but, after a pause, added " she had • bump on her forehead." The defendant's mother-in-law having given evidence, said that the defendant called her daughter an offensive name, and then she interfered and demanded to know what he meant by it. She would not allow her daughter to be called bad name& The defendant said that as soon as be got home his wife began " jawing" him, and because he spoke she and his mother-in-law " dropped into " him. His wife got a knife and attempted to stab him, and then he might have hit her in pushing her off. He was comfortable enough with his wife before his mother-in-law came to live with him. but since she had lived with him he had not had a moment's peace. Mr. Cooke said if the defendant did not like his mother in-law in his house he bad better turn her out. The de fendant's mother-in-law had no business in the defen dant's apartments, end bud no right to interfere in his domestic affairs. The defendant had admitted that he pushed his wife, and he should order him to enter into his own recognisance• to keep the peace towards her. Tie. defendant said be should see what he could do to get rid of his mother-in-law, and then left the court. MARLBOBOIJOH-STREET. orivta IN 171}; ARMY CIiARGED WITH MONLY 111' }WAN LEPIIESENTATIONIO.

Some buckets of water were soon procured, and the fire quickly extin guished, but not before ramaiderable damage had been done to the carriage. The fire, it appears, broke out be tween the ticket platform and the station, and the three men in charge had a great deal of trouble in keeping the flames under, which they did by placing some of the empty bags over it.
