In the House of Commons Mr. Henna, again volunteered in explanation, in reply to the denial of Lord GODMUCIes statement on Tuesday, disclaiming an knowledge of• any other cause of the breaking up of the late Cabinet, than the resignation of the late CUANSILLOR of the Exemplum; but although several characters appeared on the stage in this act of the Piece, the business of the Drama made but little progress; several Members pointedly disclaimed their belief in the account which be had given, until the charge of conspiracy should be detailed and the Horne, Whig every effort to draw forth MOM hardness esplanades useless, gave up the point in despair, aqui proceeded to discuss the avers useful ►usiness, width stood for deliberation. The French Papers that were received yesterday reiterate, in stronger language, the warlike intelligence , previously received from Constantinople. The modera tion of the SULTAN, it continues to be stated, had been changed for the most active hmtility,_ upwards of one hundred thousand Asiatic troops having arrived in the vicinity of the capital, and " eager for the fray," were only waiting the signal for over from Scutari to European Turkey. On the other hand the mercantile letters that were received yesterday by the Turkey Mail, extracts from which appear in another column, bring accounts from Constantinople to the 12th January, and may be consi . dired much better authority, tend to throw discredit on tile statements in the Augsburg Gazette. Every thing is described as remaining quiet at Constantinople, with no aspect to general alarm or even suspicion ; uo detention of the vessels of the Allied Powers had taken place, with the exception of those loaded with tallow. The letters from Smyrna, which came by the mail, represent that city as remaining perfectly tranquil, nor was there the least appearance of danger to the European inhabitants. They contain some curious facts relating to the system of piracy by the Greeks We received this forenoon Frankfort Papers to the 16th instant, they are chiefly filled with accounts re lative to the siege of Selo, by the Greeks; and an *lcicle from Alejcandlia, both of old dates. The fol lowing ate the only extracts wotth presenting : SMYRNA, Da. 29. One of the superior Officers employed about the aultaiis person has arrived this week hom Constantino ple. and has brought to our Pacha an authograph letter !tom his Sovereign. It has been repotted that the Governor has been recalled, and this news has .• .1 • .1 spread consternation in the City. Its numerous popula tion ardently wishes that Hassan Pacha may retain the important post which he has filled for these six years, under the most difficult circumstances with equal credit and prudence. We learn from Scio that the Marsouin French brig of war, which sailed on the 3d of this month for Tou lon. was attacked in the night between Scio and Ipsara, by a Greek mistic, w hich it sunk, and of the crew of which it wax not possible to save any body. Count Alex. La. borate, a member of the Greek Committee at Paris, was on board the Marsuuin, and can certify to his colleagues that these ate pirates in the Archipelago. We have jolit received news from Mitylene, which annouace that an lonian schooner was plundered on the 25th 1 1 by two vessels, which were part of the expedition of Colonel Fabvier against Scio. The lonian Captain having reproached them, that their conduct was not worthy of the ft iends of liberty, the pirates replied in Italian = "• We must exercise our profession to gain a ivelihood." ADMIRALTY OVVICR.—A Hoard was held at the Ad miralty this day. at eleven o'clock. for the purpose of examining and plaeing on the Pension List such Sailors sad Marines as may appear, whose services, Su. may entitle them to be admitted.

TRIAL OF WILLIAM JONES. • The Court this morning at a very early hour was crowded almost to suffocation ; and considerable con fusion occurred from the great pressure of a number of persons•ansions to obtain admittance. At half past nine o'clock William Jones was potato the Bar, to plead to an indictment, charging him with the wilful murder of Mrs. Betty Jeffs. in Montague Place, on the 31st of December last. He was genteelly dressed in black, and had a most respectable appearance. Hr pleaded Not Guilty in a firm voice. He was then put back, and again arraigned for steal. ing, in the City of London, a coat, the property of William Hussey. To this charge the prisoner pleaded Guilty. He was then put back. Sir Richard Birnie and Mr. Halls, the Magistrates of Bow•street, were on the Bench. At ten o'clock Mr. Justice Bailey, Mr. Baron Vaughan, and Mr. Justice Gaselee, came upon the Bench. The prisoner was then placed at the bar. Mr. ADOLPHIIe (with whom was Mr. Law) opened the case, and said this was an important case, as upon it-decided the question of the life of the prisoner, and he hoped •they would dismiss from their minds any thing they might have, heard read, or surmised upon .the subject, and detailed the evidence in support of the chargesornsi called the fullowinewitnesses: P.m Dent examined by,the Learned Racomatte,.—l am in the employ of Messrs. Robinson, ill Qu A tkQueen-street, Lim:Fitt's Inn. fields. About four o'clock in the afternoon of Ist January,ls2ll I went to the house; I could not get admitted ; the shutters were closed; I went to the next house. Mr. Strit:llV BOSAMOZT"' And got into Mr. Lett's house by the back way ?—Wlsea'brot in side, with Thomas Hawkins and another person, we went up stairs, with another person named Bonnick, and found no bed which had been used; it was extremely dark; having procured a light, they searched the house. and in the front kitchen the dead body of the deceased was found. The witness described the position of the °body ; the umfortuuate woman's throat was cut; there was a quan tity of blood lying about the room; I observed a razor-case and a pair of scissors lying on the right side, but net in the blood ; the left hand pocket was turned out. Cross-examined by Mr. Coasamos.—The razor case was shoot two feet from the body; a work box was upon the table; I did not observe any thing else upon the table ; I went into every room ; the drawers in the bed-room were open, but no locks appeared to have been forced; the things appeared to have been disturbed, as U they had been looked at or turned - over. Alexander Bootlick, the person alluded to by the last witness, went to the house of Mr. Lett. accompanied by him. He gave nearly the same account.—ln cross-examination the witness said it might have taken a person an hour to examine all the drawers. Thomas Hawkins pave similar testimony. Samuel nine:min.—l am a constable of St. Giles s. On the lst of January, a short tins* after six o'clock, I, lu company with Gardener. Kent, and Robinson ' examined minutely the House. Ie the kitchen I saw the deceased, lying on her right side • I saw the lower part of a razor-sheath close to her; I left it th ere. I then went into every room of the house, and ha a drawer in one of the bed-roonts I found a military glove,u hick bad the mark of fresh blood upon It, and a part of a newspaper, which was also stained with blood. I saw several bandboxes disturbed, and drawers turned inside out. All the rooms were then locked up, and the keys were put into my possession. In a day or two after I again examined the band-boxes, and discovered several stains of blood upon some papers and feathers they contained. I subsequently west on the sth to Mitre-street, Lambeth, and euquired at No. 11, in that street, for a person named Jones, 1 made a search in that home, and in the back room up one pair of stairs, I saw Salmon take up a shirt-collar from the bed, and in the table-drawer I found a razor, which I now produce. I also found an umbrella; there was no other raw in she room, neither was there a sheath or part of a razor sheath. I continued some time after looking for the prisoner, and on the 13th of January I found him in the Comptert lie was there in the name of William Edwards. I said to him. your name is Jones ; he &aid " No it is net," and afterwards said It was his name. I examined his lac band in consequence of some thing that bad before passed in my mind. There was a cut on the thumb near the naiL I asked him when it had been dope? be said six weeks. It appeared to be a fresh cut, and I told him so. I asked him how he had cut the thumb ;he replied that It was caused by cutting some wood with a knife. I then examined his clothes ; be wore a blue frock coat ; be had not a shirt upon his back, and said he bad pawned it the Saturday before which I ascertained to be the fact, and examined the coat ; the sleeves ap peared to have been recently sponged, outside and inside, down as far nearly as the bend of the arm ; the front of the coat was also sponged ; he said the person from whom he had borrowed the coat had sponged it; he was left In possession of the coat until last Sa turday ; I left him in the Compter, and on Monday, the 14th, he was taken for examination to Bow-street. On the 45th of January I went to the House of Correction, and I again searched him ; in the right hand pocket is a stain, but what that stain is I cannot say. The witness then produced the band-boxes, and pointed out the stains of blood upon the leathers, its which they contained. Mr. John Vickery, keeper of the House of Correction, pro duced the blue frock coat, which was sworn to by the last witness.. Furaeman in cross-examination said. that upon the razor he die. severed a stela towards the hilt which be panted out. The razor appears to have been wiped, and the handle appears to have been walked, because it is so clean, I think rubbing and washina might have got that mark or stain upon the blade off.-- There is a stain in the handle opposite the mark on the blade. My suspicions lighted upon the prisoner three or four days after the murder: That was before we went to Mitre-street; that was before I had seen the razor, coat and trowsers, or had sees the prisoner. Under all that I have done, I have certainly acted under a strong impression of his guilt. My judgment was, that the cut upon his finger was not recently done ; it was quite red, and only seemed to have been done six or seven days. I did not inquire as to how the coat had been sponged. I never said I made a remark upon the waistcoat before I saw it, but when I had seec it, I said it had recently been washed. The prisoner's boots were in very bad condition. I asked the prisoner where Le had been living? and he told me, 35, Mitre-street, and said with Charlotte Berry ; he also mentioned Windmill-court. I also found he has passed by the name of Rdwatds for months. Charlotte Berry bas been living in the watchhouse since the prisoner's apprehension. I never denied access to the prisoner's attorney. Re-examined by Mr. Assotenus.—The only effect the discovery of the stains had upon me was to be extremely vigilant and correct in every circumstance I could collect. Suspicion was first directed towards Mr. Knight, the son of the deceased; he was in coned), and was discharged. Elisabeth Evans, swern—lhatd the sound of a scream ate. t half-past nine o'clock, from the direction of the house of Mr, Lett. This was on a Monday night, but did not take any further notice of the circumstance, until after the discovery of the murder. William Bagwell, who was with the last witness at the time, confirmed her testimony. He looked round, bat saw no person in the street. • James Hannan', the watchman In Montagu-place, stated, that on the evening in question he was calling the hour of half-put tea, when he saw a man and a woman talking to Mrs. Jeffs at the door, which be held half open. They wished each other a good night, and the man and woman went away. Mrs. Jeffs went in doors. Witness was not on duty on New Year's Night. The man wore a blue coat, but witness could not say whether he had an apron on. Cross-examined—h must have, been nearly a quarter to eleven o'clock when witness saw the man and woman leave. John ;Knight sworn—Knows the prisoner at the bar; his name is William Jones. The prisoner had formerly lodged with witness; he was intimate with the whole of the family. Had called with the prisoner in the month of December on Mrs. Jeffs. The prithoer,about that time,went to live with Mr.Duncesebe. Witness and prisoner called on Mrs. Jeffs about the time that the former was engaged in making up some books for Mr. Robinson, the Vestry Clerk. Thomas Halls, Esq. the Magistrate of Bow-street. was examined from the Bench. On the 14th of January took an examination of the prisoner. The notes of the examination were here produced. No threat was held out to the prisoner—so far from that he was par. ticularly cautioned as to what be said. On Saturday last a verbatim copy of the examination was read over to the prisoner,which be A. dined signing, observing that there wet. many inaccuracies in it.— Witness asked the prisoner if he would sign it, subject to a remark relative to the inaccuracies, but he still declined to sign it, sad also refused to state what the inaccurades,were. The very words sled by the prisoner were put down. Occasional questions were put to him as to where he had beets at the time of the murder, and also to draw his emotion toasty nsaterial paint. When the paper was banded to the prisoner, his Solicitor, Mr. Bonita, said," If you sign that you do It on your own responsibility." ?belabour often said the statement was inaccurate. The depositions had bees takenolined, and returned to the Court pursuant to the statute. The prisoner admitted that the statement contained exactly what he had stated on the occasion of Its being takes; and merely added, "there ate many inaccuracies in It !" [At this period of the examination our Reporter left the Old Batley, but we shall report the further progress of the trW at di& fount periods in the course of the evening). SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The number of rats Billy has now destroyed, In his various matches, is about 4000. The next sport was a draw ing match at the box, when several list rate dogs exhibited, but a mouse-coloured bitch surpassed any that we have seen for some ' time, as the drew the badger no less than 20 times in 8 minutes.
