INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MAY 28.* • William Bassett was opposed by a creditor named Venable', a butcher, in Newgate Market. It appeared that the insolvent owed Mr. Venables a small debt of 91. for which the latter sued him in the Palace Court; the insolvent obtained a writ of prohibi tion, which stopped the action in that Court; and he. on several occasions. publicly abused Mr. Venables for proceeding against him. Mr. Venable. afterwards sued him in the Court of King's Bench, and the insolvent de fended the action. Mr. Venable. obtained a verdict, but be had to pay 251. 175.8 d. for costs. The COURT strongly reprobated the conduct of the insolvent, in harassing and abusing his creditor, and sentenced him to five months imprisonment from the date of filing his Petition. Francis Those', a'Frenchman, who spoke the Eng lish language imperfectly, and was assisted by an in terpreter, appeared on his petition to be discharged. He was opposed by Mr. Creswell, on the part of Messrs. Taiswell and Co. and by Mr. Barry, on the part of Messrs. Dillon and Co. of Paris. Mr. Heath appeared fol. the insolvent. Mr. Battey said he should be unwilling to occupy the time of the Court if he thought the result would be that no case was made out by the opposing creditors; but be was specially instructed to oppose the insolvent ()utile ground of a vexatious defence which he made to an action brought against him by his clients to recover the amount of two bills, amounting to 7001. This case was not included in the arbitration agreed on by his creditors,as one of theMessrs.Taiswell was an arbitrator. The insolvent examined by Mr. BARRY — I was agent to Messrs. Dillon, of Paris, for the sale of a drug called sulphate of quinine, for about twelve mouths. In the early part of October. 1827, I bad large consignments of that article., and bills to the amount of 3,0001. were drawn by the Messrs. Dillon on me; I had then about 2,1541. worth of the drug by me. I paid 1,7001. in part of these bills, and Messrs. Dillon advanced me the re mainder, 1,3001. for which sum I accepted two bills; I had then about 1,0001. worth of the sulphate of quinine in hand; the 3,0001. was more than the whole value of • the goods. The remainder of the quinine was sold on the Ist of March, 1828, and I was paid on the 18th of that month. I was arrested in December,lB2B. None of the quinine was deposited with the Messrs. Barclay; , they had property of mine in their possession. My fa , ther is in Paris, and be has no money or goods of mine. He has accepted four bills for me at different dates. Mr. Commissioner Bowan pronounced the judgment of the Court, that the insolvent was entitled to the be nefit of the Act, and that he be forthwith discharged. THE SEN-SINGTON—MURDER. The mysterious circumstances which attended the eons- mysterious cercurnstans.......— _ mission of the murder of the unfortunate M.A. Waite, who, it will be recollected, was stabbed to the bean by some assassin on Thursday morning, the 13th inst. in a by road called Addison's-place, at Kensington, through the unremittea exertions of Mr. Sketchley, the Magi'. . trate of Kensington, Taunton, the officer of Bow-street, Mr. Bennett, the svatchbouse-keeper of Kensington, as sisted by Martin, Madden, and Pammell, the officers, have been developed in a most extraordinary manner. Sir Richard Birnie appointed yesterday forall the par ties Mho could give any additional evidence on the sub- . ject to be in attendance at Bow-street Office to undergo • an examination. Mr. Stirling, the Coroner for Middle sex. who took the .Inquest, was also in attendance. It will be in the memory of our readers, that the evi dence taken before the Coroner was of the most con • tradictory description, part of it tending to show that the prisoner, Thomas Birmingham. wasinnocent of the crime imputed to him, while other parts went so far to fix him as the author of the dreadful deed, that the Jury mere induced to return a verdict of wilful Mur der against him, and he was committed.for trial. Mr. Sketchley, the Magistrate, subsequent to the Inquest, ascertainesi that the principal witness on the Inquest in favour of the innocence of Birmingham, named Susan Bennett, had, previous to her examination, been tam pered pith, and had been induced bx,44ropsiscs of a reward to swear that Birmingham was in bed with her in Kensington Barracks during the whole of the night on which the murder was perpetrated, when, i .fact, he left her about twelve o'clock, soon after she had retired to bed, and he did not return to the Barracks 'till five o'clock in the morning. Mr. Sketcbley there fore felt it hii duty tosift the affair as much as possible; and he * caused the witness, Susan Bennett to be taken into custody, and lodged in Kensington watchbouse. It war, considered by Mr: Sketchley and Sir R. Birnie, who had an interview on the subject of the .murder, that though a prima facie case had been made out . against Birmingham before tbe Coroner's Jury, yet there was not sufficient Oritlence to convict him on his ids), therefore it watiedietiled of the utmost importance that Bolan Bennett should undergo as further examination, and Sir,Ricbaid Birnie resolved that the examination • should be a public one.. M nrie o'clock yesterday Taunton stated that all the patties were in attendance. Sir It. Br RNIZ asked Taunton what was the nature of the evidence the witnesses were about to depose to ? He . replied that the witnesses would disprove an important statement made by Birmingham before the Coroner's Jury ; and he also understoodthat the girl Bennett had . admitied that she had concealed the truth when she was ' eiamined before the inquest, and was now ready to say what- actually occurred between her and Birmingham •aa the night of the murder. He had also three witnesses "in attendance who would prove that they had seen a pin in the Shirt of Bi,rmingham, who stated before the Jury that he had never worn a pin in his life, but that he always wore.a brooch. Mary Gifford, her husband, Serjeant Major Gifford, of' the firt Royal Dragoons, and John Harding, a Serjeant in the 15th Hussars, were severally examined. They all swore that they had known Birmingham to *ear a pin on the bosom of his shirt repeatedly within tile laic twelve months ; but not one of them could give any description of the pin, except the last witness, who said that about a month ago he saw a gold pin, with a fox's head chased upon it, in Birmingham's shirt. Sir RICHARD BIRXIE said, that be should not require Mr. Stirling to produce the pin which was found on the person of the deceased. Taunton said, that it had been sworn before the Coro ner's Jury, by a female named Price, who was a com• panion and fellow lodger of the deceased, that at eleven o'clock on the night oldie 16th instant, she parted with the deceased in the Kensington road. At that time the deceased had a shirt pin in her possession, which the witness Price hld seen the deceased take from Burning. harry a few nights before in a joke, when be was tipsy. The deceased told Pike at parting, that she had an ap pointment that nighty) meet Birmingham near the Ken sington Bat rack's, to return his shirt pin, and although Price swore before the .Jury that she saw the pin taken by the deceased from Birmingham, yet the latter de clared solemnly that he never bad a pin in his life. Sir R. Sinn tzlaid,that such a declaration would have been important if there was evidence tolatvii that Bir. I miogbara had worn the pin in giestion; but an the evidence at present was, that be had worn a pin, but not that pin. Taunton said, that he had witoeses to prove that the girl Bennett, after she had given evidence before the Coroner, admitted to them. In the parlour of the Hol land Arms, that what she had swom was false. Sir R. irawir.--Call these witnesses. Mr. Bennett said that he was the watch house keeper of Kensington. After Susan Banat had been ez• amined at the Holland Arms, on tie night of the Ad journed Inquest (on Monday nigh week) she came into the parlour, and stated that she had had no lodg ing for nine months. She had mown before the Jury that she lived io Tottenham court road ; she told him that the officer at the barracks, who was the master of Birmingham, and also theSergeant i lad told her that she should be rewarded with a handsome sum of money to bring off Birmingham; and therefore she swore what was untrue. Sir RICHARD Brans—Were any other persons pre sent when this was said ? Mr. STIRLIVO. the Coroner, observed, that the witness Susan Bennett had sworn before him that Birmingham went to bed with ber in Kensington Barracks at eleven o'clock, that he did not quit her side all night, and they rose at six o'clock in the morning. If that statement was a true one, and she swore she was awake all night, the prisoner could not have committed the reorder; but when she was asked if this took place on the Tuesday or the Wednesday night, she first said it was the one, and then the other, and therefore the Jury could not .place any reliance upon her evidence. John Boller, the turnkey of the New Prison, Clerken well, said that he was at the Holland Arms, Kensing ton, at the time the adjourned inquest was held on they deceased. After Susan Bennett bad given her evidence and returned to the parlour, she said that she went into the barracks with'Birmingham at half past 11 o'clock on the night of the murder;. that the 'went to bed, and she did not see him again till five o'clock the following morning. He asked her if she had seen a knife in Bir mingham's room at the barracks like the one produced before the Coroner's Jury, which was found near the spot where the murder was committed? , She replied, " For Gon's sake, don't ask me any questions about knives," and appeared to be exceedingly agitated, and cried very much. Sir R. Btanix—Why:' dill you ask the girl those questions? Boller—She told him invell thinginnasked, and he was induced to put those s to her. She also said that the Captain, who was themaster . of Birmingham, had promised to give her a handsome tam of money if she would get Birntinghansilikharged, by stating that he slept with her all night. Sir R. you communicate this statement of Susan Bennett's to any one soon afterwards ? Boller—He told the Governor of the New Prison in less than ten minwes after they left the Holland Arms. The Governor of the New Prison came forward and confirmed his statement. Sir R. BIRNIS ordered that the girl Bennett, who was in an adjoining room, should be broo;ht ib. She was dreadfully agitated. She head the 'valence of the wit nesses Bennett and Bollar read over. Sir R. Biattin-JNow, my girl, you have no occasion to be alarmed, all you have to do is to spesik the truth. Is it true that you told them that you had not spoken the truth to the Jury, andthat money had been offered you' by the officer to bring off Birminghain ? Susan Bennett (clasping hei hands together,and burst ing into tears)—Yes. Sir, it is true, I did My sti. Sir R. Btanta—Why did not you say so before the Coroner's Jury? Susan Bennett—l said something about it ; but I hardly know what. Mr.Svlattwo Did you not say that Bitiningham was with you all the night, and that you never went to sleep ? Susan Bennett—l did say' so, but it was not true; I did go to sleep, I was very much tired ; I had walked about all the day, and I know that I fell asleep. Sir R. BIKNIZ and Mr. Svtamo.put several goes tioasto the witness, but she appeared very .reluctant to 'give an answer; she at last said that when she awoke at five o'clock on the Thursday morning, she saw Bir mingham in the room at the barracks. Thomas Lee, a witness who was examined before the Jury, said that he was in the parlour of the Holland Arms, with the witness Boller and the witness Susan Bennett, after'she had given her evidence, and he heard her say that she had been promised by tge,officer to be well rewarded if she got Birmingham off. Sir R. BIRNIE—Is that true, my girl? Susan Bennett—Yes, it is, Sir .' Sir R. Blame—Did you see the officer after the Jury had sat on the body ? Susan Bennett—On the Friday morning after the Jury had adjoin ned, she having no lodging, wandered through the Park, and about four o'clock in the morning, she was near the Magazine, when an officer and some sol diers discovered her lying on the ground asleep. They took her to the Barracks. and promised to reward her if she got Biriningham off. The witnesses were ordered to withdraw, and Sir R. Birnie observed, that it would be extremely important that the witness, Susan Bennett, should be taken care of till the trial. It Birmingham was really guilty, it was one of the most extraordinary acts of murder ever heard of. That he should get up at night to commit the deed was strange and unaccountable. In less thin ten minutes after the - witnesses bad left the Office, Mr. ll:linen, the watchhouse keeper, re turned to Sir Richard Birnie. and informed him that Susan Benne t had made a voluntary confession to him. Mr. Bennett was again sworn, and he stated that he bad taken Susan Bennett to a public house in the vicinity of the office to supply her with some refreshment, and she then burst into tears, and said-4 4 I will tell you, Mr. Bennett, the real truth; I entered the room of Bir mingham, at the Barracks, at about half-past 11 o'clock on the Wednesday night, and I was so tired that 1 fell asleep; Birmingham lay down'by my side ; I could not have been asleep long when I was roused by Birming ham getting pp; it was about twelve o'clock ; be dressed himself in a fustian stable dress, and put on a cap; I sAW him take a knife off the table and leave the room ; I again fell asleep, and did not wake till about five o'clock, when I saw Birmingham in the room; 1 asked him it I should get up and leave the, Barracks; he told use to remain there till six o'clockoind then I should go." Sir R. BIRNIL was informed that two witnesses' bad stated in evidence, before the Coroner's Jury, that a person attired precisely in the manner the witness Susan Bennett bad described was seen by them in company of the deceased, at Hammersmith and at Kensington, on the night of the murder, and the same person was seen walking alone in a direction leading towards the barracks between four and five o'clock in the morning. Sir R. Birnie observed, that it was strong evidence in corrobbration of the recent admission of Susan Bennett. Sir R. Bitnie also observed, that from.what hod trans pired, a very important light had been thrown upon the mysterious 'fair. Another investigation will tike place.

The prisoner was remanded, in order to give . the Solicitor of the Mint an opportunity of attending. A young man was placed at the bar, charged by William Ivy, shopman to Mr. R pawnbroker, Snow-hill, with illegally offering to pledge a musical clock or bird organ. Ivy stated that the prisoner offered the bird organ as a pledge for four guinea, and afterwards consented to take two.

Mr. Alderman Omuta?v dismissed the charge, and told the com plainant that he had acted most flippantly and improperly—the music had tickled his fancy, he made a butt of the young man at the bar, and had then given him into custody. BOW—STREET. Last nightEliseheik Smirk who is a ballad.siaget•about the streets, was charged before Sir R. Rime with having decoyed two chil dren, only four years of age, named Caroline Parker and 21ary Downes, from their homes, and robbing the former child of her gold ear-rings. The poor infants reside with their parents, who are tradespecple, near Si. Martin's Church; and the prisoner observing them dressed in a very respectable manner, intended, po doubt, vo have stripm 4 them: She enticed them from their homes, by giving them a number. of her ballads. It is hardly possible to describe the agonised feel ings of the parents, who were anxiously searching after the children for 'rural hours yesterday afternoon, and who could obtain MO' other tidings of them than that they were seen walking In a direction from their homes with a very wretched looking woman. About six o'clock last night, the prisoner was observed with the Children in Carey-street, Lincoln's lan-fields, by a humane person, who thought from their appearance that she had no busines, with them; and a snob having collected, the prisoner was conveyed to this office, and with difficulty escaped a summary punishesent from the populace. The earrings which sine had taken out of the ears of the child Parker were found upon bee. The story told by one of the children was the most plain and artless that can be conceived. She said that the prisoner promised to take them to a pretty place to show them seascapg my nine if she would let her look at her earrings, sad she ejnAitted the vile harridan to rake them from kr ears ; after she had got possession of the canines she beat the children,and they wet e so much indaddated by her threats land violence that they were afraid to speak to any one. Sir R. Brims observed, that WA preimbilitYs U the prisoner I had not been detected, obi would hive kept the poor children out in the streets till it was dark, and then have stripped them of their apparel.—She was fully committed to take her trial for the robbery. H - ATTON.G A HORN.

Mr. Brown, a shoemaker, in Soffolk.street. Battle Bridge, stated that be last night gave the prisoner, as he thought, eight. pence, a depence and twopence, to go to the shop of a Mr. Kay, a currier. In Westeastreet, Somers Town, and purchase some ankles used in his Wines'. The prisoner bought what came to fivepence; but missing a half sovereign, which was in the same pocket as the money which he gave to the pri liner, be therefore suspected be must have mide a mistake, and given the prisoner the half sovereign instead of a six pence.. On mentioning the matter to the prisoner, he very artfully desired his master to look among his silver, and be would no doubt bud hi; half sovereign. Nut satisfied with this, Mr. Brown called on Mr. Kay.and there had Ms iuspiCione confirmed, the grimmer having tendered to him a half sovereign, and received the full change, &dotting bd. for the article rsralueed.of him.. . Mr. Sergeant Swan asked the primmer what he hat doosylik, them oney ? ' The prisoner maintained an obstinate silence, antwould not an. ewer the Magistrate's question.

Yesterday Mr. Cowan: was engaged until past four o'clock investigating the following charge— ' • In the course of the morning Mr. Bradford, a surgeon, residing in Tottenham-court-road, came to the Office, and inquired* Mr., Conant whether he could take cognizance of a case which had come under his observation relative to a child being nearly starvesk,* death by its unnatural parents, who resided in Portland..Mkt, WardouNstreet. Upon the facts being stated, the worthy Meth. trate desired one- of the beadles to accompany Mr. Bradford to the: workhouse, and to desire the parish authorities to bring the parents and children before him, In the course of an bout they wen brought accordingly, followed by persons banging in three little children, *hen the snood child; a girl about four years of ageiwae shown to the Magistrate.

The youngest child was nearly in the same state, whilst the eldest, about seven years of age, was a time full-grown girl. Mr. Bradford deposed that on Wednesday he had been informed by a patient, whwresided within a few doors of Macdougsli, the plower, that the neighbours and inmates had every reason to sea. pet that the children, especially the second, were starved by their parents, and the person who gave him this information expressed a wish for him to see the children.

He then asked the mother Whit she used to give the ehildr when she replied, bread and vegetables; the child invariably Ire• fused meat. Being confident that the infant could not live If allowed to remain with the parents, he took it to his residence, when some veal was given it, and the voraciousbess which abe displayed fully satisfied him, if any previous dosibt had existed, that the child had been starved. Mr. CAntaur—ls the child in a dangerous state? • Mr. Bradford—She is; and even if she can be recovered it will be necessary to feed her every three or four heirs, and eta be con stantly attended.
