HARDWICK, BM. ...DRIVING CATTLE 01118 PAVEMENT.—ThiII WIZ an appeal against a conviction under the Metropolitan Paving Act. The respondent, as police magistrate, convicted the . appellant in the penalty of 6/. for driving cattle over a ear . tam foot pavement. He is a butcher, residing in Market street, St. James's where ke has a slaughter-house, which can only be a pproa ched through a front door, and over the pavement. The district surveyors having become acquainted, with the fact, obtained a summons against the appellant to appear before Mr. Hardwick, who, upon hearing the ease, Inflicted the fine of 51. The learned judge observed that he had inspected the premises, and was of opinion that the Paving Act had not been infringed. If the conviction were tenable it would be impossible to use the house ass. slaughter house at all, or to take any kind of cattle into it without being constantly liable to a penalty of 61. for doing so. It would not stop there, as it would effect most of the livery stable keepers in London, ally ose in fact who happened to have a flag instead of a granipavement leading to their stables. Even a tradesman who had a stable at the back of his premises which was without any approach at the beck, could not take his horse through his front door without incurring a penalty. He thought that the summons was issued in order to get rid of the slaughter-house, but if they wished to do that they ought to indict it as a nuisance.—The conviction was quashed. ------------ ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCIJIT.—YORK, THURSDAY. ADMINI STERIN G POISON YO A 1111011 FAMILY, — George Adamson (only 181, was charged with having, on the llth of October bust, at Wakefield, administered poison to Ann Bnmah, Lydia 'Wheel Bramah, Thomas Bramah, and Alfred Bramah, with intent to murder them.—The prosecutor, Mr. Thomas Bramah, is a tailor and draper, residing in Wood-street, Wakefield, to whom the prisoner was for about six months. On Monday even- ..---------' ing, the 12.:i of October, lilt. Bramah went to attend a lecture at the Mechanic' Institute, leaving hie wife, his daughter, aged I_B, his son Thomas, aged 12, and a younger s on named AlftW., a year and nine months old, in the home. During the evening the daughter put a saucepan on the fire w ith some water in it , inte ndin g to p repare porridge for the supper of the family. She then went out for some treacle, to be used along with the porridge, and she at that time left in the kitchen her mother, the baby playing on the floor, and the prisoner, who was engaged in emptying the grate in front of the fire-place. Mrs. Braman shortly after went updtaire, and when she returned into the kitchen, she found the boy still employed at the grate. She was only up-etairs a few minutes, but it was suggested that the prisoner had embraced the op portunity of putting poison into the saucepan. When the daughter returned with the trade, the prisoner said, " I shall not want much supper to aight, I have eaten an apple which my father gave me on Sunday night." The daughter proceeded to make the porridge, and then poured it. out upon some plates. The prisoner then again said he should want very little supper, and Mrs. Bramah said, that being ao, he could take the smallest plate. He did so, and ate only • small portion of that, when he said he had had suf ficient, and would go to bed. He did so, and shortly after Mrs. Brattish and the rest of the family present became cx vomit - tremely ill, the symptoms being violent retching and ing, and a burning sensation in the throat and pain in the s t o mach. Mr. Dunn, the su r g eon, was immediately sent for, and he at ones perce ived that some poisonous material had been taken into the stomachs of the family. lie gave emetics to all of them, which operated aatisfactorlly, except in the case of Mrs. Bramah, to whom the etoniach-Pump was applied. Fortunately for the prisoner, the remedies Mr. D unn a dministered were successful, for, if they had not, he would have had to answer a more serious charge than that upon which he was now arraigned. lie was also very i ll , and had vomited. The contents of the several stomachs, and • portion of the porridge, were subsequently analysed, sad It I was ascertained,beyond all doubt , that they iteatelead I I white arsenic. The principal evidence agai nst the primmest were his own admis si ons. On the Thursday after, Maa I Bramah said to the prisoner, " George, whatever could in duce you to commit so diabolical an act ?" when he said, " lie supposed the devil had tempted him." About five o'clock the same day he went into the kitchen where the daughter was, when he began crying, and said, " I have confessed all." She said, . Did you, then, pat the poison into the porridge ?" And he said, " Yes, I have told all about it; I only put in :about a tobacco-pipeful." On the 16th of October, after ha was apprehended, he stated that "he had put the poison into his master's porridge." He also said at that or some other time, that "he did cry about it at first, but he did not care about it now, for he should see a little more of the country ;" and again, that " the wit needs, when before the magiatrates, had sworn falsely, because they said it was white arsenic, whereas it was white mercury." Thew were the priacipal facts of the one, as a dduced on the part of the prosec The prisoner, on being celled upon for his defence, handed in a written statement, the effect of which was, that he was not guilty of the charge, and that he had been induced to say otherwise by a Mr. Foster, • friend of the Bramah family, who had taken an active part in the matter, and induced him to tell what he (the boy) now said was false, in order to save the character of his father, which. Mr. Footer had told him, would be injured by the circ umstance of the case being m a de known to the world t hrou g h the public printa.—His lordship summed up with great care, observing, that osaddariag the age of the accused, this was one of the nut iblikkie and at the same time most extraordinary eras that be recollected having ever come to his knowledge. —The Jury retired at five minutes to seven to consider their verdict, and after an absence of half an hour they returned a verdict of Guilty, with a recommendation to mercy on account of the youth of the prisoner.—His lordship then inquired of the prosecutor as to the previous character of the prisoner, when he reluctantly stated that he had been guilty of dishonesty previous to the commission of this offence. — The prisoner was then ordered to stand down. LIVERPOOL.—FaIDAV. Before Mr. Justice Wightmsn. BURGLARY AT WARRIVOTON.—SansiseI Ball, a carter, 25, was c h a rged for having, at Warrington, feloniously broken and entered the warehouse of Mr. John Tickle, and stolen therefrom a considerable quantity of tea and tobacco. Mr. Tickle's warehouw, it appeared, was bur gloriously entered on the morning of the 15th of Au gust. The evidence against the prisoner principally consisted in the fact that, on the night preceding the rvbbery, the prisoner, who belongs to Liverpool, had bor rowed a rpring cart for the purpose, he alleged, of bringing furniture haws !fishy. The cart was to be returned at eleven at nig ht, but did not reach il till six o'clock next morn ; ing. It wee proved by the toll-keeper, and by Mr. Shaw, _publican, that he ha, l, with two others, on the aight ' in question, been at War Mgton.

His lordship said the testimony span which the prisoner had been con victed wee of the dearest possible nature, but, from his ex treme of it might be inferred that he had been a tool in the.banda of some other party, and under these circumstances his punishment would be comparatively light. The sentence was, that he should be imprisoned to hind labour for four months, two days at the and of each solitary. Tun MURDER 07 LORD DERBY'S GAMEKEEPER.— Henry Robinson, 31, was i n dicted for having, along with others, aided and abetted one John Roberta to murder one Ri c h a rd Kenyon, by shooting at him with a gun. On the 10th of November, in the year 1843, the deceased, along w other of Lord Derby's gamekeepers, were out in the pre serves protecting the game, and, whilst so engaged, they were attracted by hearing guns fired, to a place called Schoolhouse Wood,where they encountered &body of poachers, who made an attack upon them, and during the affray, Roberts levelled his gun, and shot the deceased, Kenyon, who died fromthe effects of the wounds four days terwards. R o berts, and others of the party, were appreheafnded, and, upon the testimony of one of their accomplices, who turned approver, they were convicted, Reheats as the principal, and the others of aiding and abetting.

Mr. Thomas Robert Andrews stated, that he lived at Harlestone, in Northam} to nahire. On the 3rd of November last, he was at Webb's Hotel, with his mother. On the previous day he had given the prisoner, Frederick Webb, who was one of the waiters at the hotel, a cheque for 601., on Messrs Denison . and C 0.,„ to get cashed. The cheque was paid in eleven td. notes and five sovereigns. Witness paid several of the notes away to Messrs. ll'Cracken, of the Old Jewry, and he gave three remaining 51. notes to his mother. Wit ness did not take any notice of the numbers of the notes. Mrs. Elizabeth Andrews said, after receiving the notes from her son she placed them in a travelling bag in her apart ments. Soon after this she found the spring-lock of the beg open and the notes gone. The clerk at Dennison's who cashed the check, the clerk of Messrs. Dl'Cracken who re ceived some of the notes, and the Bank of Engl and clerk who had custody of some of the notes, one of which proved to be one of the stolen notes, were examined, and deposed to various points necessary to complete the chain of evidence against the prisoner. A portoffiee clerk, who occasionally as sists at the Charing-Cron branch, proved that he received a 51. note in payment of a money-order for 41.105. to the prisoner's wife. One of the porter's at Webb's hotel proved that thence* in question—one of the stolen notes—bad been given to him by the prisoner to take to the branch office at Charing-cross, for the purpose of getting a 41. 10s. money-order with. —George Bentley, milkman, 15, Henrietta-street, proved that he received a 51. note from Ann Webb, the prisoner's wife, and that he gave change for it.

The wife said she had received a note from her husband. After the charge was booked, the prisoner said he knew nothing about the matter.—Mr. Humphries submitted there was no case against the wife. —Mr. Hardwick thought the case ought to go to a jury, and sent both prisoners for trial.

W., a solicitor at the West end, to deliver up to her writings and papers relating to freehold property in Staffordshire and Worcestershire, which he unnecessarily detained. From the statement of the ap plicant, it appeared that nearly five years since she became entitled by will to considerable property in the counties before•named, consisting of from 500 to 600 acres of land and some houses. She placed the papers in the hands of Mr. to obtain legal possession, and the necessary deeds of conveyance; but from that time to the present sh ;nadir t been able to get either one or the other. Havingppd Mr. W. with the necessary fees, &c.,. she had from month to month expected to be put in possession of the property ; but in this she was disappointed, and while entitled to a hand some income, she was in point of fact existing upon the bounty of her friends.—Mr. Norton: What cause does he sedge for not securing to you possession of the property ?

A friend of mine has been endeavouring for some weeks to see him, but has been unable to do so; and though written to on the 'abject, I he has not returned a line in reply. Mr. Norton said, that . his jurisdiction ili such nutters was confined to cases in which ' the value of the property did not exceed 151. ; and advised the applicant to apply to a respectable solicitor.—The appli cant doubted whether she could get any legal gentleman to ' interfere, unless she advanced the usual fees, which it was not in her power to do.—Mr. Norton then gave the appli cant a note to his own solicitor, upon which she expressed her gratitude and withdrew WORSHIP-TREET.—EITILkoRDINAST CANA—Frs.

WOOLT f ICH.COXVICT'S CORRESPONDENCE. MIS. Hedges, W Al elderly man, engaged es a av day convict keeper in was charged with hing in his possessionthe dock la rd, some co' iper nails and a small piece of canvas, the property of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.—Police ser leant Budd, 39 It, deposed that the prisoner was searched when a leering the dockyard at 12 o'clock that day. A few nail 4 were found in his coat pocket, and some more in the fin' pre of his gloves. On a further search, a pies* of canvas Isr es found round hie body, in the form of a belt. Wit ness I t'nett proceeded to the prisoner's lodgings, end there found a \ marked convictueLdtar with the h d r" th d e ano War% an o;. l — a M l r et . H. the nails and clams were the property of the crown.—Mr. Masters, overseer of the convict hulk, Warrior, stated that the prisoner had been employed as a day convict-keeper for about two year. Witness had often suspected him of eon illwfrltr alert , aonceleronanakt the the storekeeper's department, deposed that veying letters from the prisoners to their friends, but had never been able to detect him before. The letter found at his lodgings was to be taken to the friends of one of the ' convicts, who were to give the prisoner 2s. and a quire of paper for the convict's use. He was to receive a part of the money for his trouble. Parties who carried these letters usually received from 25 to 50 per cent. on the amount they conveyed, and sometimes they appropriated the whole.—The prisoner said he picked the nails up amongst some rubbish, and did not intend to take them out of the yard,—Mr. Jeremy, rater remarking upon the folly of men in good situations committing petty robberies, ordered the prisone: to pay a fine of Int , or, in defstult, to be committed ler It days. iiil .. 3R.. 73 Ins , 6 30 , 3421 23 I Mow.. 6_ Carmel.

It may be observed, however, that theof the Rinds is downwards, as has been observed before, notwithstanding occasional and partial reactions. The article in a morningor paper plays upon this downward t endenc y , as if produced foreseen by it. There is this mistake, that no representa tions, or newspaper advocacy, can really alter the state of affairs. Upon the subject of money affairs we sha ll have something to say hereafter.

The market was dull in the early part of the day, butlthe operators showed more firmness towards the close of business. North Staffordshire shares were done at 31 to 1 premium; Shrewsbury and Birmingham (A.), at 11 tot premium ; ditto (B.), at 1 to 4 premium ; and Birmingham and Oxford Junction, at 71 to 4 premium. The sinister' statements put forth respecting the foreign exchanges, and I the probable course of the ban k, as regards its future stand ard rate of discount, made little impression. They have now been often repeated, and possibly not without some foundation, but still the old rate is continued, without dis turbance, down to the present time. The Liverpool share market continued very quiet, but without any further depression in prices generally. Indeed, in some instances, there was a alight improvement. New castle and Carlisle rose, and were worth 114; the new shares were asked for at 10 p. ; North British were also in rather better demand. In the Manchester share market there was a moderately fair amount of business, and the prices of some stocks, for which buyers were found, maintained the previous day's prices, including East Lancashires (New), 14 prem. ; North stables, 31 ; and Leeds Extensions, 1 prem. The market generally, however, had a downward tendency. At Leeds, the share market was unii,tially inactive, not above a dozen transactions being effected, yet prices were a shade better in severalof the lines in which business was done. The Bristol market bid not recovered the flatness which has prevailed during the week, but, on the whole, prices were steady and well sustained, and there was no disposition to force Mies.

There was more briskness, though the quotations were nearly the same, and even reccded in c. l'e-7 instances.

On the other hand the cut up stockings, even of the lion qualties, are in a most demeaned moditiom. This has in tune measure arisen tram the amended condition of the wca-kpeuyie In the United States. In many of the Northern States, the ManUtil, -luring system is extending. The hosiery trade is extending in ner,n s elesnia and the Delaware. The drawer branch cannot be consVaircal any better. The cotton glove wade La, if anything, a shade extending. The Flemings have a de cided superiority in thin glove trade, as they use flax in stead of cotton ; and tes the English fiat mills arc spreading over the Continent, V.& trade will in all probability ex tend. The silk gloat branch La, if anything, worse. The fancy lace trade is rather upon the rise, but not on the Leavers ma chines. The eirvalar hilt machines arc making considerable, and in some instaner, successful efforts, in producing fancy laces ; on the other hand, tr.e traverse warp and pusher machines, which had few years iii•acc such a decided advantage over the two other prin ciples, are cast into the rear. Some attempts ere Mill making to pro- duce velvet from the bobbin net machine ; this has certainly been accomplished so far as to produce as, eciznen. The cotton warp lace trade in not considered fin amended.
