I gave him his meat ; he left between sit and seven o'clock ; he had not finished his job, but he did not come the next day, and he never came for his money. Thomas Elson, who came up in custody, said-1 come from the gaol. I have been in prison three weeks. Last year I was in Stafford gaol. I was taken there for stealing potatoes. When I got out of Stafford gaol I was brought to Shrewsbury gaol on suspicion of sheep stealing. I was there till after the Assizes. 1 am a mar ried man. I married the daughter of Cox the elder, and I am myself the son of Ann Harris. When I was dis charged from Shrewsbury gaol, I went to the house of Cox the elder ; I there saw him and Robert Cox. They took me to the Star public-house. We had a pint of ale, and Robert Cox said, if it had not been for Joseph Pugh and me, you would not have been here. Nothing more was said till my mother Ann Harris came in. She went home, and I accompanied her. I had some apple pie for supper, and snon alter Robert Cox came in, and said to my mother, D—n your old eyes,, if you don't give me some more money I will fetch him and rear him against your door. I went nest day to breakfast with my mother. Robert Cox came in again. My mother gave him 2s. and said he must never come bothering her any more. Some time after this, I think about a week, young John Cox, PLO, and Robert Cox came to my house, and Pugh said I was the man that enticed Harrison out of the house, under pretence of going to steal some bacon. I took him down the town field by the penfuld, and we told him it was too soon to steal the bacon, and we bad better lie down fir a while. , John Cox and Robert were waiting for us near a stack. Just after this time I caught him by the windpipe, and Robert Cos caught him by the legs, and young John Cox was digging the grave. While we were holding him Harrison said, in dying, 64 0 Goa, spate my lite. arid I won't do any thing against Shoolah" (a nick-mow I went by). Pugh went on to say, we buried him in a grass field, but thinking that the body would be found thee, we removed him into a ploughed field. After this I saw old Cox, and be said if it had nut been for him and my mother I should never have been there. About five weeks ago I was put into the lock-up house at Drayton for stealing fowls, and about midnight the elder Cox came to me, and he said that if I would say nothing about the murder he would employ a Counsel for me about the fowl stealing. I once saw my mother and old Cox give Robert Cox sixpence a piece. Three days after I came out of prison for the sheep stealing, I had a conversation with my mother. We were going to get potatoes; she said she gave 50s. and old Cox 50s. mote for the murdering of James Harrison. Cross-examined by Mr. C. PHILLIP3••••I know that this charge affects the life of my mother; I don't expect to get any money by her death, nor money's worth; my father is dead; I don't know that he left a will; I was at home at the time of his death; my grandmother left a will, and under that I have hesrd that at my mother's death I shall take some property, which my mother has for her life; I came here to give evidence for the sake of public jnstce, and I have always stated so; I never said it was to save myself from being trans ported; I never said so to any person, nor in any place; I don't know how Many charges of felony have been made against me; I gave informatiou five weeks ago; I knew about it a great while before, but I was afraid to tell before for fear of my life; I never gave Wounr tion till I was charged with stealing fowls. Charles Warren said—l am an atvaney, residing at Drayton. I r emember Pugh beiirg in custody. In con sequence of some communication made ts) me, I went to Pugh. When I went into the room Mr. Holt, was there. I said, Pugh, I understand you are anxious to say something. He replied, I am ; I can tell you all about Harrison if I can be saved. .1 said, If he was Murdered, and you were present assisting in the murder, I should rather hear nothing about it, as I can make you ho promise; but if you were not present and assisting, and will give such information as will lead to the con viction of the murderers, I think it probable you might. He said he was not present, and 1. took down his exa mination. Thomas Twemlow, Esq. said—l am a Magistrate of the county of Salop. When the prisoner Pugh was in custody, I saw him. This was the day after Mr. War ren saw him. He had sent for me. He said if he could be let go, he would tell all he knew about it. I told him I would make no conditions whatever with him; and he might say any thing or nahing, just as be chose. I had been told what bad passed. I confined myself to telling hint that be might do as he pleased. I did not tell ham that what he said would be read in evidence against him. I remember the day of the Coroner's In quest. I saw Ann Harris, who was in custody. She seat for me and said she wished to tell the truth. I took down 'in writing what she had to say. I did not hold out any inducement to her • but I did not give her any caution. I took down t he Whole that she said, and she made her mark to it. Henry Holt recalled—Joseph Pugh was in my cus tody. I had a conversation with him after Mr. Warren bad teen him. He made a statement to me. This statement was objected to on the ground of the inducement held out by Mr. Warren. Mr. Justice CAMILLE said that, after what had oc corred in Lmersetshire(Gilham's case), he did hope that the Magistrates had been aware. that it was expe dient that they should, in all cases, not only tell pri soaps that they might confess or not, as they pleased, but should also distinctly inform them. that what they said would be used as evidence against them: and he wished that Magistrates would always bear this in re collection. After the point had been argued at some length, Mr. Justice GASELEE held that, if the confession stated that he was present assisting in the commission of the offence, it was admissable, as not coming within the terms of Mr. Warren's promise. t Mr. Halt recalled—The prisoner Pugh said that he took James Harrison down the Mare-lane, and there he met John Cox, the younger, and Robert Cos ; and that be (Pugh) knelt down on James Harrison, while John Cox put ataired string round his neck, and pulled it , till he was dead. That Robert Cox stocfd by, but did not assist them ; and that he and John Cox buried the body. Pugh, after this, went with me to the field whete the body was found, and, going along the standing corn, be stamped on the ground and said- 4, There he lies." At that very spot the body washund. Immediately after this. I disected the apprehension of old John Cos and Ann Harris • they were taken very soon; and Robert Cox was aken in the course of the same day. The Rev. David Edwards said—l am a clergyman residing et Drayton. On the .30th of June last I went to the poor-house; I saw the prisoner Pugh. I said, Well. Pugh, you see what crime leads to. Yes (be plied), this comes of keeping bad company. I said I hoped he would make his peace with the ALMIGHTY, f sr after such a crime as that it would be madnisss in him to expect mercy at the hands of man. He clasped his bands together and said, Fur God; sake give me a prayer book. 1 said that I was exceedingly pleased to beer him make th4t request, and as there was a Society foe Promoting Christian Knowledge, I could readily comply with it. The nest day I took him the prayer i book, and told him to make the best use of his time with his Mau& He said, I must tell all. I replied, Take care what you say, for I must tell again. He said I must tell you to ease my mind ; and he said, It was Jack Cox and I that did the job. Bob Cox stood whale way off looking on. I then recommended him to make the best use of the prayer book I had brought him, and I came away. Loxdale Warren said—l am one of the attorneys Lot the prosecution. Atter the verdict was teturned, Pugh said, Jack Cox and I did it, and Bob Cox stood a little way off; and it wa4 Nanny Elson that gave us the mo ney for doing it. Joseph Taylor said—l apprehended John Cox, jun. for this offence. He asked me what they had done with Pugh and Robert Cot ? I told him Pugh was in cus tody, but I knew nothing of Robert Cox. He asked whether they had found Harrison ? And when I told him that they had, and where they had found him, he said, " This is all Joey Pugh. It was he that enticed Harrison out of old Pugh's house, and brought him along the lane, by the stack, and there threw him r.ri his back and throttled him. Pugh cried out for help, and instead of my brother Bob coming up, he walked off another way." When before the Coronet's Jury. John Cox said it was he and Pugh that did ir, and as he lett the room, he said to Pugh, " ll—n pit, what did ycu say anything about Robin for; I say tie was net there." Edward Simme , ter said—l had young John Cox in custody. He wanted to borrow my knife to cut his nails. I did not lend it to him, and he then told me he did not want it to cut his nails, but to cut his throat ! He said that Robert Ci•z was not guilty, but that he and Pugh committed the murder. I apprehendeJ Ann Flitris. She begged to be let stay at home for halt an hour. She said she was innocent of the crime. She fell on her knees, and said she wished the earth might open and devour her if she knew itny thing about the murder. This was in a lane, and several persons were present. I told her I believed what her son Thomas had said, and that it was of no use her telling me a parcel of lies. She said that .Robert Ca had dragged her out of bed, and had said that whatever her son stated he would swear to. The statement of Ann Harris, made before Mr.Twem low, was read. It stated that old John Coz had pro posed that his sons should kill Harrison, and that the parties had had a negotiation about how much it was Harris was to pay for the doing of it, and that she gave different sums to the Cos's, but t!►at she never distinctly knew that Harrison was dead, and that old Cox had told her that he had enlisted for a soldier at Gloucester. Another statement made by her was also put in. It stated that old Cox had also proposed to give poison to Harrison, but that it was not done. Elizabeth Elson said—l am the wife of Thomas Eisen, and the daughter of old John Cox. I went to 'Stafford gaol to see my husband. Ann Harris wear with me. She said to Pugh, whom we met, Oat she would give him 5/. and a coat to destroy Harrison.— When we got to the gaol, Ann Harris told my husband to be content, for they could not hurt him; ani she then asked the gaoler it Harrison did not appe it against him whether he would have his liberty ? After Harrison was missing, I saw Ann Harris, who said she had placed a shovel several nights, and that it was fetched and brought back again all over blond and hair. The night bi fare Harrison was found, she said she wanted to go and fetch his bones, and throw them into the well, because it his bones were not found they could do nothing. This jacket belongs to the phi. caner Pugh. - - - Cross.examined—lf Ann Harris is executed on Mon day morlbing, my husband will obtain some property. I have heard my husband say so. It is a house and land. My husband told me that also. The old man is my father. The two younger prisoners are my bro ther?, and the woman Ann Harris is my mother to law. Mtry Bateman said, I am the daughter of Ann Har ris. I talked with Robert Cox about the murder. Hei said he would tell me nothing about it, because if he did, I should be talking to my mother, who would tell all. I said, people say my mother knows all about it. He replied, your mother is innocent ; I had ncohing to do with it. I said, if she had, do you go and move the body. He replied, I never touched him. and I never will ; I sat under the hedge ; Pugh and John Cox did it; Pugh carried the body.to the grave. The prisoners, when called upon for their defence, said that they were all innocent of the crime imputed co them. Mr. Justice GASELET recapitulated the evidence, and left ii to the Jury to say whether they were satisfied of the guilt of any, or all of the prisoners ? The Jury found all the prisoners Guilty. Mr. Jti,tice GASELIta then addressed the prisoners, and said.-. 0 Joseph Pugh, John Cox the younger, and Robert Cox, you have been severally convicted of the crime of murder ; and you, John Cox the elder, and Ann Harris, have been severally convicted as accesso ries before the fact. It is impossible for any one who has attended to the evidence to have any donSt of the propriety of your conviction. The Jury have taken into their consideration your several cues ; they have had their attention called to the evidence which applied to each of you ; and after the most serious consideration have, found you guilty. The crime of murder at any time appals the heart of every one; but no man,when he considers the circumstances of this murder, and that the object of it was to defeat the ends of justice, can hesi tate to say that it is of a description unparralleled in the annals of crime. I need hardly offer any observe. tions to you on the subject, as I cannot hope that they can have any effect on those who have been guilty of such an offence. With regard to you, Pugh, it doe, not appear :hat you had any interest to preserve, any relation to protect, or any feeling of revenge to justify you in the sacrifice of this unfortunate man ; yet, having him in your house, and under the protection of your paternal roof, you seduced him out under the pretence of committing an offence, according to your own statement (whicb.whetber true or not) be would not have attempted without your solicitation and assistance, and having got him into your power, you put an end to his existence without allowing him one moment for preparation. Let me implore you all to reflect how much more indulgent the law is to you, which affords you time to supplicate the mercy of the ALMIGHTY, than you were to your unfortunate victim. whom you sent out of the world without a moment's time being given him to reflect upon the past, and endeavour to make his peace with his NlAgalt. Let pie request you earnestly to apply yourself to prayer and penitence, and to seek to obtain through the mediation of our SAVIoWI, who was sacri ficed for sinners, that pardon which was promised to them that sincerely rrpent. Throw not away a single moment that you have yet remaining, but supplicate for that mercy which cannot be offered to you here." The Learned Judge then concluded by passing sentence of death on all the prisoners, and ordered Joseph Pugh, 'John Cos, the younger, and Robert Cox, to be executed on Monday next, and their bodies to be dissected. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. m A NSTON4-I0 USE. Yesterday an odd-lookinre Who sots up 11wa humourist, was brought before the Luau Marna by a Boteugh Officer, upon suspicion. upon his own evidence, of having been concerned in the robbery of Mr. Illtton, the watchmaker, at the foot of London Bridge. The officer said, that the prisoner told him that he bad something very heavy at his heart. " What is that ?" said the officer. " Why," replied the prisoner. " I was in the robbery at Mr. Hatton's. I know all alutut it, and I had 1001. for my share of the plunder." The officer, of course, upon hearing hem persist in this statemeut, conveyed him to the watchhouse, where he gm more sober. The Loan MAYOR— Well, I suppose you slept yourself into an honest man ? Prisoner—l was very drunk ; I hope you'll pass over it. The 1, 0 , n Mayee-i-" There'll truth in the glass," the proverb says. 1 won't be so hard on you as to refuse to believe you, when you were in that hopeful condition. You must go to the Compter. PI Meer— y Lord, I was only in jest. The Liseo alert:aft—No, no—l am sure you were in earnest. You would not tell a lie—yon must go utitil the day after to-morrow. The prisoner then was taken et' to cool in the Compter. GUILDHALL. Sir. Parse LA URIR received a letter from a young man, named Grant. a few days since, stating that he came up Irons Scotland in January List, and seeing a notice at an Estate Agency (Ace, on Ludgate-hill, that a clerk was wanted, he inquired the pat ticulars, and found that no information could be given until he had paid the fee of 10s. Gd. This he did, and was told he should have notice of a place in a week. The week having expired he called again, and was taken into the service of the Proprietor, at 255. a week, until a Netter offered; hut, as it was a place of trust, he was .to deposit 201. as security. This he also paid; and at the expiration of two months he was dismissed, with an intimation that the 20/. would be repaid by instalments of 41. a month. This was in May, and since then be had only been able to obtain 51. Ile therefore prayed the Alderman to be allowed publicly to expose the system. The Alderman gave the writer notice that he should sit yesterday, and summoned the defendant before him, when the young man repeated the statements. The defendant pleaded that he had made an agree ment as to the 41. per month, which he would abide by ; and on this undertaking he was dismissed. BOW-STREET. Mary Green was charged by Mr. Salter, jeweller, of the Strand, with stealing a diamond brooch, value thirty-seven pounds. On the sist of June the brooch Was missed from the shop, and bills were circulated among the trade. hut he received no tidings of it until Saturday last, when lie obtained information that a jeweller, in Drury-lane, bad the article, which he had purchased or a jeweller, of Oxford-street, fur seventeen pounds, who said that he had bought it of the prisoner fur fifteen pounds. The prisoner, in her defence, asserted that her son, fourteen leave of age, had found it in the Strand. Having kept it for six weeks, ;aid no notice baying been taken of the loss in the newspapers. she conceived herself entitled to it. The Magistrate asked the first purchaser how he came to buy such a costly article from a person of the prisoner's appearance? who replied, that he refused till the ptisoner brought him a note from a Lady at Walham•green, certifying that it was all right. On the prisoner being asked to produce her son, who she said had found it, she replied, that he had gone on a voyage to Berlin. in North Amerias.—She was then committed for trial. Yesterday an old soldier appeared at the Office, and inquired if Sir Richard Bernie was present? Sir Materiel—Yes, my man, I am here, pray what is the nature of your business with me 7 Soldier—Ob, your Worship, I am glad of it, as I wish to ask advice of you in a very important business relative to myself. You must know, Sir, that my name is Jim Pollee and that in the year 1301 1 served in Egypt, under that gellant Colonel, Sir Robert Douglas, but bein; grievously afflicted with an inveterate disease in my eyes, the Colonel felt himself compelled to discharge me, with a strong recommendation. In my way home I went througfi Ire. lanai, and stopped at kilmainliam liospital,where I was attended by Dr. Rennie, who pronounced my disease to be an incura*ophthil i mia. I consequently departed from the hospital. and ` came over to England, and went to an old master of mine, Sir • Ruliert Peel (the lather of the present Secretary). to ask his advice. He desked me to send my docanients, &c. to his agent, who would endeavour to do something for nte. I did so accordingly ; but be, I suppase,neglected to take any care of them, as, when I applied to Chelsea Hospital fur a place there, I was told that no documents had been received by them, and they of course could do nothing for me. Some years after this, I perceived an advertisement in tire paper, relative to some prize-money, which was to be shared by those who bad served in Egypt. I applied, but again I was doomed to disappointment, as they gave me the same answer as at Chelsea Hospital. I neat went to Mr. Peel's foreman, and be told me that some papers had been sent lately from London to Lancashire, where was the house of Sir Robert, and, perhaps, mine might be amongst them. I sub sequently received them. and I then applied to the War Office for some relief, but they said that such a length of time had elapsed, that it was of no use. Now, your Worship , what I would wish you to do is, to write a letter for me, and direct me how to act. Well, my poor fellow, said Sir Ricwaao, I will write you this letter, but I am afraid it will do you very little good. Sir Richard, after a short time, gave the poor soldier a letter of recommendation to the War Office, and be retired with the greatest satisfaction, with a full persuasion of its proving successful. M A It LBOR OU G H- STREET. Yesterday was appointed for the re-examination of two dashingly dressed females, who were in custody, upon a charge of possessing themselves of a quantity of silks, and other articles, the property of a Frenchwoman named Este, who lives in New Bond -street; and, in consequence cif the publicity given to the apprehension of the prisoners at their last residence, the Office and its approaches were crowded at an early hour with tradespeople of all sorts and descrip. dons who had claims and complaints to urge against the prisoners. The Magistrate, in addressing the prisoners, said that in the course of the morning be understood that there were net only seve ral complainants in attendance against them, but also solicitors on behalf of those complainants; indeed, one person bad told him (Mr. Res) that he attended as solicitor for the prosecution; but now it appeared that neither prosecutor, attorney, nor any one else, came forward against them. All this he (Mr. Ros) could not bop ; he had done his duty by detaining the prisoners, and affording all who had suffered by them an opportunity of coming forward with their complaints; bet as they did not choose to do so, he bad aply to discharge the prisoners. The prisoners were then discharged ; but the Magistrate refused to deliver up to them a box which Schofield, the officer, found at their lodging, containing an immense number of pawnbrokers' duplicates fur a variety of property pledged at different shops. MARY-LE-BONNE. Yesterday William Maimed and Joseph Hopkins were charged before Mr. Reweutsom with felony. At a quarter before six on Sunday morning, Crochet, a watch man, saw the prisoners together in Dorset-street, and knowing them to be old offenders, watched there. He waited but a few minutes before ltickwuod received a leg of mutton from the hands of a thitd person, who was iu the area of No. 13, and ran away. The watchman pursued bins, and when he brought him back to the house in custody, the third 'person had escaped, and bad left a short ladder behind, which was let clown by a cord into the area. This prisoner told the watchman it *as no robbery, for the mutton ,was given to him. Hopkins ran away at the same time, and was secured by another watchman, to whom he said, " I am slot the right chap, and have nothing to do with the concern." Mr. Hunt, of Dorset-street, came forward to complete the case. Th e l eg of mu t t on b e longed to Mrs. Stuart, a lodger in his house ; 'he saw it on Saturday hanging up in the area, and identified it after It had been stolen. Mr. RAWLDOION asked him if he did not think It s 1414 la a • awl tempting place ? _ Yes, your Worship, said he, and it was temptitig inton Itickwood declared that the evidence was LA Y& tifilW, and ••••-•: , :e Hopkins said it was entirely so. • Mr. RAWLIPION told them, the declarations of prisoners like them, who had stood at that bar before, were nut worthy of much credit; and he committed them to Newgate for trial. THAMES POLK/Bea , • A drunken virago was brought up, chargpd with having broken a poor girl's law by a blow of her fist; It proved by several witnesses that the prisoner, in a fit of Into:W..l'4)h, was striking at every one within her reach in the street. The complainant was quietly passing, when the primmer used 01 her, Now, Sally, I'll• give you a turn," and struck her a blew that broke her jaw-bone. The Magistrate expressed great indignation at the prisouer's con duct, and convicted her, under the new Act. in the peosky of .51. in default of payment she was sent to the House of Coffee - that for two months. A man lately paid a visit to Winchester, and adver tised an exhibition of fire-works, to take place on Mon day, the 28th ult. in the srounds of the inn (the White Swan) at which he and his wife had taken up their quarters, and where, dining their stay, they were hos pitably entertained. Qa the evening of the announced exhibition, he took at the doors, for admis►ion money, about 15L and, after letting of a few rockets, to attract the attention of the spectator: 4 suddenly decamped, leaving his bill it the inn wholly unpaid, as well as various debts he had contracted in the town with the printer, carpenter, and other persons, and has not since been heard of.

The residence of the Earl of Cawdor, in the county of Nairn, it one of time most ancient and entire baronial residences in Scotland, and in point of natural situation is no less beautiful than striking and singular. The tower is built partly on a rock, the surface of which serves for a floor to the lower apartments, and in the midst is an old hawthorn tree, springing from the rock, and shooting its leafless spiral stem from the vauh into the interior of the building, The building is a strong feudal structure, guarded with moat. drawbridge, and battlements, and "bosomed high and tufted nem" The walls are above eight feat in thick nets, and the different niches and embrasures of gigantic dimensions. The massive walls, dark passages, and narrate winding staircases, strongly remind tee visitor of times happily long gone by, when might toe arra usurped the place of right, and a successful foray was more esteemed than a clear conscience. About twelve years ago, a fire brake oat in the castle, and consumed its mast valuable relic—the bed an which King Duncan slept when murdered by Macbeth. There are some old family portraits in the castle, and one of the apart. meats is hung with tapestry worked by Lady Henrietta Steam ta the sixteenth century, with her own hands. Among the paintings is a good likeness of the brave Montrose, and sonic female permits, evidently by a coarse imitator of the style of Sir Peter Lely. Oa the roof of the castle is a small recess, called Lovat's hole, befog the spot where that Nobleman concealed bin:welt for craw time after the " rising" in " forty-five." The present Earl has made vast improvements io the castle and estate of Cawdor, and is entitled to the especial thanks of all losers of " out door nature," as the Cockneys term it. for the excellent walks he has made on each side of the burn, and for embellishing and opening up its romantic scenery to all and sundry who choose to wander on its banks. And what higher enjoyment can there be, now that the larch bas" hung its tassels forth," and the birches are full of leaf and fragrance, when our northern skies are alotost as clear and cloudless as those of Italy, and our warns heathery braes, ieriolent of bees and honey, than to ramble on the banks of the roaming line, full fifty fathoms above its rocky bed—or forget ourselves among the quiet nooks and glens, where the hail builds her nest, and the clear poplins springs freshen the green sward' At Calder, too, this enjoyment may be shared without alloy, fur there are no scenes of poverty or misery to mar the beauty of the picture.
