He arose about ten o'clock, and .called Selina Hopkins to get .his breakfast: and :thee . wens Into tl:e surgery. While he was there, .his .daughter Lavinia brought him the tea-pot to .look at.. The. contents of it appeared like soap suds, only there "vas no bubble on it. He took the teapot ,from kis daughter, and called for Selina Hopkins and ,Ann Jones. They both Came, and he asked them who hid put the water in the kettle? They both denied it. He told them he would make them tell, and reached down a hand whip. and gave each of them a couple of stripes with it. At that time Mrs. Jackson came in and interfered, and begged him to let them alone till his servant Redles n cans , . in. When Redtern came in 4 wit ness called hien, and asked him whether they made the tea .with clean wale' ? Redfern replied—" Surely with clean water; surely they did not put that water for you ; surely it is not poison." Witness said, be was afraid it wasdend then took it into the surgery, and put a spa tula into the teapot, and the liquid turned it black. Itonsediately. Witness's son was going to London that morning to attend some lectures, and witness put part of the contents into a half-pint bottle, to take with him to Mr. Barry, of Guy's Hospital, to be examined. Witness -then tried pan of the test of the liquid with a solution of nitrate of silver and nitrate of potash, and it gave a yellow precipitate. Witness thought it was arsenic. He had some arsenic in a chewer in the surgery, and the corrosive sublimate in the bottle now produced. He examined the drawer, and could nrt discover that there was any missing. He die not examine the contents r f the bottle till he had a communication from Mr, Barry, and he then found a sensible diminution in the conter.ts. The label on the bottle now produced wa3 hydragunt oxidant. Prisoner had been appient'ed to him for three years. He had timplained to a Magistrate of her five weeks before, and she was imprisoned in consequence for one month An Stafford gaol. She then requested to return to her service, but, instead of stopping at his house, went to Birmingham to see her friends, and did not return till next day. Witness threatened to have her sent to gaol for three months longer. Cross-examined by Mr.Wntrootaa.—l had the tea pot in any hands all the time I was chastising the girl. The spatula was quite clean when I put it into the tea r*. . Mr. Baron VA UGH AN—Had you any reason to know that the girl was acquainted with the contents of the bottle now produced? Witness—No, my Lord, except that she had seen my servant, when I lived at Oldbury, sell it to the farmers to kill the fly on sheep. Cross-examinati resumed.—l was not present when the prisoner saw my servant sell it; I never sold any at West Bromwich, except a few grains. I don't remem ber fur what I ed it. . _ _ Mrs: aelison was then examined, and confirmed the testimony of the for Mer witnesses, adding, that when inquiry was made about who filled the tea kettle? Ann Jones emptied it and filled it from the . pump with fresh water, and there was always a boiler on the kitchen fire, from which it should have been filled. Segna Hopkins, the other set rant apprenticed to the prosecutor, said, that abut 18 monthi ago, her master threat,ned to put Ann Jones in gaol, fur setting fire to his• curtains, at Oldbury. Jones then said, that she would . put some poison in his ale when he was drunk, and then he could not say any thing abaft it. On cross-examination, it ap l yeared the witness had bad some difference with the prisoner about a gown. fart of the contents of the teapot, the spatula, and the teapot, which had all been seated up before the Makistrate, were now produced. Mr. Barry. .lecturer on chymistry at Guy's Hospital, said be could detect the *presence of a very small citraniiii •of corrosive subliTate dissolved in water. Ili cold water it would reinern , suspended; hot water would assist the solution, but s these would be no change ni ale' constitution of it. The witOeis then proceeded to eihitit the effect of the following different tests on the ltgard now' produced iii part of the contents of the tea pot.* adding at solution of,potath to any acid, if mer ettiy be pteient;it will become a deep yellow. Hydriate 4 potash, Mixed with a solution of corrosive subli. slate; instantly produces a deep scarlet ; that merely imairiates the presence of poisonous mercury, and might lit iiiiinti•as well as oxyrnutiate of mercury. fly add hilititrite of silver to the *onion, a white sediment ;Vadat:ed. The firit experiment shows the mer. base, the second the oxide. Those three esperi ataiits coireinced the Witness , that the liquid contained citioSiiresoblinsaie. A saturated solution of corrosive sisistimitte, on being disturbed, would ,retain a Aiilky 4.` ~/•• allowance all night, and putting the spatula into such is:sOlittinti would pr oduce the effect described by Mr. JOCatin, ' a jdi,Viatdraiity,. with whom was Mr. WHITCOMB. thei addve.sed the Jou for the prisoner. *eft Samuel Bruerton la's then called, and stated that * * Was [lilt Governor of the BirminghaM Orphan Asy . oe lien: : the/triage , II 4 years under his cam," titsie:kitras apprenti out to the opiecutor.

Having received thentohe. boy set off f ar A N I L counting-hohset by the way of Lad:lane, white complainant tank another route, through Aldermanbury, where he was astonished to find the prisoner in the possession of the cloth. He asked him bow he came by it, when with an air of confidence he said he was going to a 61r. Clementson's, in Bisbopsgate, where he bad been hired to carry it by a stringer in Lad-lioe. Complainant then secured him. Fisher the boy saki, as he was passing through Lad line, the prisoner told him he would give him sixpence if he would fetch • coach, and he accordingly threw down his load in the door-, way, where the prisoner was standing, and ran for the coach, but. when be returned both prisoner and cloth were gone.—The pri wner, in his defence, persisted that he had been employed by some person in Lad-lane, and that all the boy had stated was falser- Fully committed. . . George Pritchard, a dark-looking man, between forty and fifty years of age, was charged with a rape by Anne Warman, a delicate lookihggirl, who said she was fourteen years of age, but who ap peared to be much older. Mr. Harmer attended on behalf of the prisoner. The proircutrix being sworn, stated that she lived servant with Mrs. Hart, in Wych-street, and that on Wednesday last, between six and'seven o'clock, she went. with her master to lilackfriar's road, to help to carry one of the children, but her roaster sent her back to tell her mistress that be should return in half an hour. When she got near Temple-bar, she met the prisoner, who took the chili from her, saylng he wanted to speak to her, and would give her halls sovereign. He went to a bad house in Apollo court, near Shire-lane, and gave the child to a gill in half-mourning. Witness went to the house after the child, and the prisoner went up stairs, and told her to follow him. She went into a room on the, second fluor; the prisoner shut the door, threw her on the bed, and erected his phrpose. • Mr. Alderman Fa essaciensa---Diti you cry out?'" • • Proseceirix—No, he stopped my breath with his Mouth. Did you tell your mistress what had happened?—When I got home my mistress said that a friend of her's hadauld her that she saw me go into a bad house, and so mistress turned me away. I told her what the prisoner bad done. Where 414 you go after that ?—1 went to my sistefs, and slept with her. • Mr. Alderman FARLSROTHER—The prisoner's conduct has been most disgraceful, but there does nut appear to be any ground for this charge. H .rmer—l do not defend the prisoner's conduct; but your Worship will perceive that she said.nothing about it till her mistress made the discovery and dismissed het. Vie fact was, she met the prisoner by 'appointment ; and, after shE was sent away from her place, she +mist and slept at the prisoner's, for her sister lives at his houpe. Mr. Alderman Faessareritast-.-Well, he must be discharged ; but the evidence of this girl will be sufficient to support an indict ment against this' house in Apollo-court ; and I hope the officer will take care to collect the other necessary facts. Officer—Your Worship, the prisoner keeps a brothel. 'Mr. Alderman Fratutaoleaa—A more disgraceful transaction, I think I sever knew, and 1 trust, officer, that you will not cease, till you get stilficient evidence tti convict the wretch who now stands at the bar also. Then addressing the prisoner, the worthy Alder man said, you are dismissed from this charge, but with the deepest disgrace, if you can be disgraced lower than you are already. - - _ BOW-STLLEET. . . Fortune- ruuem—Yestmday, a young Lady, of very interest ing appearance, who gave her came Miss Louisa Pearson, applied to the sitting Magistrates, Sir Itscuum Staxia and Mr. MIKSIIIILL, under the following circumstances t On Wednesday last one of the servant maids informed her that she knew of a fortune-teller who could most positively fortell all things, as she told herself many which were most positively correct. She was induced bj the solicita tion of the maid to have an interview with the agent of futurity in her chamber, and from the prospective information she gave, she was indimed to treat her with great civility. At length sbe disap-. geared, and her disappearance was also accompanied by that of twenty sovereigns. Sir Ricstaim—l regret you have been so simple u to be !imposed on by such a false prophetess. Do you think you have any chance of ascertaining her residence? Miss Pusson--011, yes, Sir; I understand she is to be found at Charles-street, Drury-lane. Sir It. Buicia—Very well ; all the assistance I can give is to direct some of the officers to go Where you think she is to be found. There is Fagan, let him make every inquiry about the affair. Miss Pliallital thanked the worthy Maglitrate, and left the office to give Fagan the necessary information. A wretched looking elderly man named Edmonds was brought up by Mr. Thomas, the constable, charged by the coachman of E. Rose, Esq. with being either prinsipal or accessary to the abduc tion of a box-coat from the coach of the aforesaid Mr. Rose. The complainant, alter sundry wry faces, intimated that be was on Thursday night waiting for his master's party at the English Opera House, when the defendant very civilly asked him if he did not want something to drink ? Witness certainly at that time felt an inclination to moisten his clay, and on the oche/ offering to hold his horses, and still more to be answerable for the property to the amount of a hundred pounds, he Way willingly availed himself of his politeness. Edmonds, who had been fidgetty for some time, here interrupted, with—" Now I only offered to be answerable for fifty." Sir it. Bias's observed that " fifty" seemed a round sum for a man whose clothes seemed worth less than that number of farthings. ' Edmonds, however, looked q u ite of a different opinion, and ea claimed—" I beg your pardon, your Worship ; I am a very inde pendent man; and though you may like your sitivaiirts, 1 like mine, and like to earn an honest penny, and hansust myself as you do. 1 pays silty a year lent, and thirty taxes." Sir Factual, smiled at the Lomparison, and the coachman re sumed his tale.—He had hardly got a pint of porter to his laps when Edmonds called out in a solemn tone, " Hnlloa, madman, your coat's menu off." W itttess, however, being unwilling to leave the porter, and thinking that the cad was larking bim, Mashed his draught, and found that his coat had moved off in good earnest. The cad, of course, saw only the coat, and could not leave the horses to look after the thief, as he was afraid they would also he' " movin off." The coachman called in the aid of Nr. Thomas, who assisted the "way independent man" to the watcbhouse.--After some vain efforts to lend out the thief, Edmunds was discharged. • _ HATTON-GARDEN.

I They consist, fur the most part, r f zihrop,l l ,4 and W. 1.1) girls, who walk to London at nos „ droves, to perform this drudgery, just as the. bid] re ,.. santry come to assist in the hay and corn Itarst•tc. learnt that these women carry upon Vieir.heads f)a.k et , of strawbe.ries or raspberries, welching from forty i n fifty pounds, and make two , tur os in the day. Iran, 1,1,„ worth to minket', a distance of thirtcen nai'es caco .. 41; three turns from Brentford; a distance r.f 'nine mile, : and four turns from Hammersmith, a &smite solesa For the most part they find sonic conveyote back; but even then these industrious creaswes carry loads from twenty-four to thirty miles a-day, brs,d n walking back unladen some part of each turn ! Their remuneration for this unparalleled slavery is from fos s to 9s. per day ; each turn from the distance ~; Ik„ worth being 4s. or 4.5. 6d.; and from that of Hammer. smith __ls. or 2s. 3d. I'heir diet is coarse and simple, their drink, tea and small beer; costing n.,t above Is, or ls. 6d. and their back conveyance about 2s.or 25.6 d.; so that their net gains are about ss. per day, which, in the strawberry season, of forty days, amounts to 101. After this period the same. women find employ. ment in gathering and marketing vegetables, at tower wages, for other sixty days. netting about 54 more. With this poor pittance they return to their native country, and it adds either to their humble comforts, or creates a small dowry towards a rustic estahliAment for 1 fe. Can a more interesting picture be ,sawn ,f virtuous exertions? Why have our poets f, filed to co lour and finish it ? More virtue never existed ir, their favourite shepherdesses than in these Welsi. and Sh r op. shire girls! For beauty, symmetry, and compleum4 they are not inferior to the nymphs of AicaJta, and 'they far outvie the pallid specimens of Circasda I Their morala.too are exemplary ; and they often perks, ni this labour to support aged parents, or to ke, p their ova children from the workhouse! In keen suffering, they endure all that the imagination of a Poet could desire; they live hard, they sleep on straw in hovels and barn:, and they often burst an artery, or drop down dead from the effect of heat and over-exertion! Yet, such it the state of one portion of our female population, at time when we are calling ourselves the most polished nation on earth.—Mirror. An Inquest was holden at St. Bartholomew's Ho pital on the body of Elizabeth Mattocks, who, in the absence of her mother, set her clothes on fire, and vas so dreadfully burnt, that she expired in the above hose pital.—Verdict, Accidental Death. An Inquest was taken at the Wheat Sheaf, Old Pa% eras-road, touching.the death of Sarah Foy, a4ed 2'2 years, an Irishwoman.—Mary Reardon stated, that the deceased and a man named M'Donald, coh visited toge ther, and lodged in the same house as witness. Oa Sunday morning McDonald came home drunk, and laid on the bed till he recovered, when he stated that he was going into the country to get harvest work.— About seven o'clock in the evening he went avai, without leaving deceased a farthing of money, and has not since been beard. of. Witness, with the deceased and her infant, all slept together on Sunday rigit, when deceased complained of being unwell ; witness gave her some jea ; she continued getting worse, and died on Tuesday morning. No medical man not Rork was sent tor.—The CORONER, in summing up, remarked on the brutality of the man who had lett the deceas.rt so destitute, and the gross barbarity of all the riffles to the house, to leave a female to die without assi•teixe.— Verdict, Died by the-visitation of Gorr.'
