James Evans, late a miller and farmer, at Mayfield in Stafford shire, was opposed by Mr. Heath, on behalf of Mr. Daniel Miller. The insolvent stated in his examination by Mr. Heath, that his own cousin, Francis Shaw, jun. was his detaining creditor, who had arrested bins for a debt of £23, which bad been owing three years, and he swore that the arrest was a hostile one, and that he had never seen his cousin since he was arrested. Mr. Shaw, sen. (insolvent's uncle, and detaining creditot's father,) had sold some property to to the insolvent's father for £l,BBO, of which the in solvent had to pay him £247: he paid him £ll2 by instalments. On the Bth of October last, he signed a paper in favour of his uncle. Mr. Shaw, sen. the purport of which he did not understand, but by virtue of it Mr. Shaw took possession of all his farming stock, &c,w hich be sold by auction for £193. Four days after he signed this paper, Mr. Shaw, jun. arrested the insolvent for the old debt of 423, and he gave bail, and directly afterwards came to Londoo, sod rendered to the King's Bench prison. Mr. MIAMI here offered to the insolvent to forego any opposition to his discharge, if his uncle would give up the property. The insolvent stated that he did not think his uncle would give op the property; he, the uncle, had taken every thing he possessed, and left his wife and family without even a bed to lie upun. His wife and family had been obliged since then to apply to the parish forirelief. Mr. Hz.ses submitted, on behalf of the opposing creditor, either that the insolvent's petition ought to be dismissed, or that he should biremanded for a fraudulent making away with his property. It appeared, that on the Bth of October, while he was greatly in volved in debt, he made over all his property to his uncle, by which all the other creditors were deprived of every shilling which he possessed, and then he rendered to prison in discharge of his bail, for the small sum of £23 which he owed to his cousin (the son of the of the person who had taken all his property) for above three years. The learned counsel considered it nothing better than a mere juggle to keep the insolvent's property lu the family to the exclusion of the general body of creditors. Mr. Coosa on behalf of the insolvent, submitted that no case had been made out to justify the Court in remanding bins. It was sworn by the insolvent that the a by his cousin was a hostile one, and that his uccie bad behaved so harshly towards him as to dispossess him of every article of furniture, even to his bed. This statement of the insolvent had not been attempted to be impugned by any evidence on the pan of the opposing credi tor, and . ttierefore the Court must take It as correct. Whether the uncle had acted Illegally or not in taking possession of the in solvent's property, was a point which must be left for the insol vent's assignees to consider ; but it could be no ground on which the Court should remand the insolvent. The Comm said, the whole of the circumstances atteudiog the distress by Mr. Shaw the elder appeared so extraordinary, that they would require his attendance to explain it, and also the at tendance of Mr. Shaw the younger, to explain the , fur which purposes they would titijourn the case. The insolvent was then remanded. Yesterday a young lady. was thrown out of a cabriolet near Astley's Theatre, and dreadfully lacerated. The driver had limed the horse to run at * tate which made the fell of the animal almost certain. The lady was conveyed to her family in Canter bury-buildings in a daagerous state.

I . .~-. • z POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. • Two girls were placed at the bar, before Sir P. Lanais, charged with breaking five panes of ghss in the shop-window of the Half- Moon public-house, Smithfield, and destroying a picture, the pro perty of the landlord. It appeared that the prisoners went into the above house, and, after getting some gin, became rather riotous, in consequence of which, the boy attempted to put them out, but before they were ejected they managed to break the number of panes of glass enu ed above, and to destroy the picture. Sir Piens Lama asked the boy If the girls were drunk? Boy—They were. Sir PITRIR LAURIE—Then they are discharged. I shall not en courage this system of giving gin to drunken females. The landlord denied that be was in the habit of doing so. Foster, the Marahalman, said that the Half-Moon was an ex ceedingly well-conducted house. Sir P. Lame—l am very happy to hear this of your house, landlord. Have you a gin-shop attached to your house? Landlord—No, Sir Peter, I have not. Sir I'. Latiatz—l am glad to heat it. We are more strict at the west end than in the City, with respect to public-houses. The Licensing magistrates, previous to the last licensing-day, went through the parish of Marylebone, to ascertain how many public houses bad been converted into gin-shops, and we found that no less than seventeen had been so transformed. Well, we refused to grant the proprietary licenses until those houses were again con verted to their former state. This, lam glad to state, was done in the course of a fortnight, and of course the licenses were re newed.—The worthy host of the Half-Moon then retired. BOW-STRRET. Yesterday afternoon, Jeremiah Smith, the driver of the errand cart, No. 177,760, appeared before Mr. Missnext., the Sitting Magistrate, Sir R. BIIINIC being also ON the Bench, to answer to a complaint preferred against him by Mr. Charles Wright, of cham pagne celebrity, for furious driving. Mr. C. Wright stated, that as he was passing through Museum street, Bedford-square, on the afternoon of Christmas Eve, in the cabriolet No. 91, that vehicle was run against by defendant's cart, which was proceeding along the middle of the street at a most furious rate, the horse being at the very top of his speed. Had he (Mr. Wright) not had the presence of mind to snatch the reins from the driver of the cabriolet, and to pull sp stunt, be was satis fied that some dreadful catastrophe would have taken place, where fore he thought it but justice to the public to have a fellow like the defendant, who so wantonly placed the lieges in jeopardy, punished as be deserved, especially as lie (Mr. Wright) was convinced that example was more efficacious than precept. Mr. hlnisnuxx asked whether the vehicle in which Mr. Wright I was, was on the right side of the way? Mr. Wright—No, Sir, the cabriolet was on the left side. Sir R. Btasac—This reminds me of an apt quotation on the subject, which says, " The rule of the road is a paradox quite, For in riding or driving along, If you go to the left you are sure to go right, And if you go right you go wrong."—( Laughter). Mr. Wright complained, that, having been on the left, or proper side of the road, the cabriolet was, of course, on what is termed the right side, and the defendant consequently on the wrong. The defendant wished to make it appear that both were wrong, anti that he had as much right therefore to complain as the patties who had brought bins to book. Mr. Muisnui.r., however, said he was satisfied that a conviction ought to take place, and accordingly inflicted the mitigated penalty of 10s. of in default of payment a fourteen days' sojourn in the House of Correction.—The defendant was locked up in default. i HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday morning Pder John Junghousen, a Danish sailer, was brought before Mr. LAuto for final examination, on a charge of stealing a piece of blue cloth from the shop of Mr. Josephs, of Saffron-hill. The prisoner, accompanied by another man who is not appre hended. went into the shop of the prosecutor and took the cloth from off the counter. Police officer 132, E, who took the prisoner Into custody, pro duced the cloth.—The prisoner was committed for trial. UNION HALL The two individuals who gave the assumed names of George Frederick Seymour and Donuts Junk, who were given into custody by Mr. Hedger, the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, on amp'. cion of having attempted to commit felony, were again brought up from the county gaol on Thursday, to undergo further examination on the extraordinary charge which was alleged against them. The defendants were provided with the legal assistance of Mr. Harmer, to get them out of the serious dilemma in which they were placed. The latter Gentleman said, that from the teoour of the letters be bad perused, written by the supposed lady to one of his clients, he had very little doubt they were the production of some parties de. sirous of playing a hoax on the individual for whom they were in tended. The fact was, the Gentleman who went by the name of Seymour had, shortly after his arrival in London, received an ano nymous communication, the purport of which was that the writer, a young lady of large fortune, bad fallen desperately in love with him, and entreated him to answer her communications, adding, that his letter to her might be left at Mr. Catchpole's, the watch maker, in Fenchurch-street, through whose medium they might carry on a correspondence until they' were united, without incur• ring the risk of the affair ever coming to the kuowledgeof her re latives, whom she represented as extremely watchful over her.— Mr. Harmer went on to say that both Mr. Seymour and Mr. Junk, his friend, had some interviews with this Mr. Catchpole, on the subject of these letters, from which they were convinced that that person must have been aware who the writer was; and they were also strongly of opinion, that he must be in the secret of the cir. _ _ . . - cumstance relating to the anonymous letter written to Mr. Hedger, describing that two persons answering the description of the accused were to make an attempt to break into the house on Mon day :tight, for the purpose of robbing it. The Magistrate (Mr. Swaaar) immediately issued a summons for the attendance of Mr. Catchpole, and In the interim the fol lowing letter from the lady who Mr. Seymour was led to believe bad formed an attachment for him was read. It was dated from Clapham, t'le 31st of December, and was found amongst other papers in Mr. Seymour's possession when he was taken into cus tody on Monday night, when he went accompanied by his friend to Clapham, provided with a scaling ladder and other apparatus, to effect the lady's escape over the garden wall, preparatory to their flight from that neighbourhood. This epistle, it will be perceived, is a reply to one previously received by the lady from the gentleman. " Deaa &a—Your letter reached me on Thursday, a few mi nutes before I got into the carriage on our way to Blackheath, where we have been staying until last night ; the engagement of a week's standing was kept a secret from me ; you will therefore judge there is no great cordiality existing lu our household. Your sentiments are just what I should have expected from the idol of my heart, the world may ridicule the notion of falling in love with an unseen and unknown person, bat I have read to little advantage if such cases are not common, and my heart is very treacherous to me in. deed, if my feelings towards you ever change. I wish you would speedily devise some means for my escape, as I am determined not to remit° much longer under my aunt's roof. Our house is situated a small distance from Clapham, it is large, standing detached, and enclosed; my bed-room faces the road, and is about forty feet from the ground. A ladder, which could easily be placed under my window, would enable me to escape, and a post-chaise at band to convey me to some place of safety, which 1 should not fear entering under the solemn pledge of your unimpeachable honour and integrity, until a licence could be procured for uniting us. Let me have your plans ; light in my bedroom shall indi. cats I am ready, as well as point out to yon the house, and also my person, which I flatter myself, you will find far from disagree able. One more letter from you,• fully explanatory, shall be the the last I will require, and you shall then see I have resolution to put in force your suggestions. lam disturbed—my messenger is faithful—doubt not my love not resolution. In haste, adieu. To-morrow morning my trusty servant makes her Weekly ap pearance. lie courageous and discreet, as yen shall'fihd use. " Your affectionate " MARIA The above letter was written in neat and legible characters, and appeared unquestionably to be that of a female, although some doubted it was the production of a disguised hang. Mr. Haines submitted that the above letter, found in the actual possession of Seymour, satisfactorily explained the affair upon which be and his Wend went nit the night in question. He (Mr. H.) verily believed that all the letters were written by some persons to deceive Mr. Seymour, and induce him to believe that some lady WAS deeply smitten with kim ; and be had, under that impression, procured a ladder, Ike. to procure her escape. It would also seem that when the appointment was made that Mr. Seymour and.his friend wereto make the attempt, an anonymous letter bad been written to Mr. Hedger, apprising him of an intended attack upon his house ispburgisri ; and upon this information thategentleman.re• quested hie brother-in-law to remain in the bousarwell armed, and gave him instructions, in the event of any plan being devised to enter any part of the presidia,. to gre at the parties whoplade the attempt. it was a most fortunate circunistanee that Use accused peteosarwere observe by the watchman' arse 1111 1 .

Mr. MAIMS then called Charles Leppard, a patrol, who stated, that on Monday night Mr. Jink came up to him near Mr. Hed ger's house and asked some questions as to what family resided there. The patrol said that be could not answer his questions : upon which the inquirer said, " If your eyes were shut, of course you would see nothing. The fact is, my friend and I have come here to carry off a lady : here's some money for you, and walk another way until we have got her away." The'patrol said that he was proof against the temptation, and rejected the bribe. He added, that he saw no more of them afterwards until they were in custody. Another patrol stated, that on Friday last he saw the gentlemen at the bar at Claphani, inquiring at various places for a family of the name of Inglis. Mr. Ilarmer said that he did not doubt the statement, for Mr. Junk, in order to discover a clue to the phantom who was sup posed to be in love with his friend, had travelled ail over the neigh bourhood, and was indefatigable in his inquiries to ascertain some particular. relative to her station in society, as well as gaining some information as to the actual state of her finances, upon which so much depended. Mr. Swain- here inquired of the accused if they were willing to give their real names? The individual who called himself Junk said, that he bad no he sitation in declaring who and what h., was, if it was not for the ei piwure that was likely to be given to it, which would bring down the ridicule of all who was acquainted with him, on hearing the affair had terminated as it had done Mr. Seymour expressed himself in a similar way, saying that he had not the slightest objection to give bis name privately to the Ma gistrates, and that his only object in withholding it was the dis agreeable consequences that must arise from openly declaring it, after the failure of the affair in which he bad been engaged. Mr. Steamy and Mr. Humes both agreed in the opinion that the accused were bound to give their real names publicly, and if it was found they were respectable, of course it would repel all sus picion ; for even the circumstance of the letters did not do away with the suspicion excited in the mind, particularly of Mr. Hedger, I a s to the nature of their business about his premises on the night be had them secured. The magistrates then put some questions to Mr. Robins, who, it will be recollected, cashed a check for Mr. Seymour on Monday morning, relative as to whether that indi ' vidual had put the name of Seymour or his own name to it. The answer was that the accused bad not put a fictitious name to the check, upon which Mr. Swabey remarked that he was glad to have heard the circumstance explained in the way it was. At this period Mr. Catchpole arrived, and in reply to the ques tions put to him, he said that he lived in Fenchurch-street, and was a watchmaker. Mr. Harmer then put the anonymous letter received by Mr. Hedger Into his hand, asking hint if he knew who the writer was? He denied all knowledge of the hand-writing of the letter alluded to. as well as that of the love-letters ; but ad mitted that letters with the initials had been left at his shop by both the accused persons, and they were called for by a female in the garb of a servant, and sometimes by a boy. He had no idea as to the person for whom they were intended, and merely took in the letters to oblige Mr. Junk, and delivered them when called for; he said that upon one occasion, when Mr. Junk called to leave a letter, he told that person that he bad received an anonymous commu. nication from a lady at Clapham, " blowing" hint up for allowing 1 letters to be left at his house for a young lady at the above place. The witness was closely examined by Mr. Harmer, to ascertain whether he was not actually a party to the whole scheme by which the accused had got into the dilemma ; but he solemnly declared that he was totally ignorant of the nature of the letter., and that, on the receipt of the anonymous note addressed to hint, be refused to allow any more letters to be left at his shop for the parties con- cerned. Mr. Swasay said, that the matter still seemed to be enveloped in mystery. John Moor, the coachman who was hired by blr. Seymour, was examined, and irons his account it appeared, that be was dire cted by that individual to be at the Swan, at Stockwell, en Monday night, at nine o'clock, for the purpose of taking up a lady and gen tleman' and was directed to drive towards London with great speed, the moment they entered the vehicle. While he was wait ing with his coach in the road near Stockwell, he was surprised on seeing the two gentlemen seized and carried off to the watchhouse. ills wines' said he was convinced the gammen had not gone to Stockwell to commit a robbery. but to take away some female. Mr. Swans, in allusion to Mr. Catchpole, said that he was convinced that person knew more about the affair than he was dis. posed to acknowledge. If the letters written to Mr. Seymour were Intended as a hoax, it was a most serious one, and might have ended in bloodshed. Mr. Catebpole still asserted his Innocence of having any band in the business. Mr. Harmer here produced another letter. at the request of Mr. Seymour, who had declared upon perusing it that Ms opinion u to Its genuineness was decided, and be still said Mr.diararer, laboured under that foolish impression. We quote a few extracts from the epistle as a cariosity : " 'My Love,—l believe my father to be much richer than thy aunt wishes to suppose, and therefore dreads losing it by my mar riage; but one of the first things we will do shall be to examine my father's will, which is to be seen In Doctor's-commons. Oh how pity you when I read in your many letters the walks and db. heartening delays which have attended the progress of our intimact —but, my dearest love, I will make up for all this when lantrante safely lodged in your arms. Nothing but death shall then separate us. It will then be our turn to laugh at those whose unkind treat ment contributed to bring about an event to prevent which an ottit'h pains have unnecessarily been wasted. It was intended by my aunt that the Hedger family should dine with us, but Mr. Hedger meeting with an accident on Wednesday, arising from the slip, pery state of the roads, sprained his uncle, and it is now settled that we dine there, and thither we go this evening, and remain • until Tuesday. This change, which at first I was induced to con= sider injurious to our !sappiness and peace of mind, I find, upon a close inspection of the premises, to be the reverse. The ladder of formidable height we can now dispense with, and one about siz feet will answer the purpose. (This was precisely the height of the ladder found under Mr. Junk's cloak when be was secured on Monday night by Mr. Hedger and the watchman.] Mr. Hedger lives at the corner of Park-road. I propose Monday even ing for the grand attempt to be made, which, if conducted on your side with prudence, cannot fail oirendering me one of the happiest women In the world. A glance at the premises will be sufficient fur our scheme. Let a carriage be procured, and wait ing in Park-road. with the hones" beads turned to the bigh-road ; the ladder of six feet will enable me to get upon the wall at the bottom of the garden, and then In the morning happy shall be the one which, I have no doubt, shall have to bless as long as I live." The writer then mentions that a cough shall indicate her presence at the window when he makes his appearance. It adds—" Rebecca, whose services I have bought by giving her my gold watch, will join us at the Kennington-gate; for; dearest, excuse a female's timidity, if I suggest she may be my com panion until you hive completed the arrangement for our nup tials. I fear the only opportunity I will have of .bringing • any thing with me will be my trinkets. many of which are very valu able, and have been but seldom worn by me, as my aunt says dia mond ornaments are inappropriate for a young girl. Excuse my weakness, my poor heart sometimes deserts me. • I tear you, like many of your sex. can, from devoted proof of my attachment, tail" cause to chide me for the rashness of throwing myself into the arms of a stranger; be this, however, as it may. the tisk I will ha sard ; for I think there is something so strange in our adventure, that if marriage be a predestinated state, we have reason to 'Up pose ours is of that description." The epistle cowhides, by de siring her dearest love to purchase $ wedding ring. A . My hand," she says," beery small, fingers long and slender, the smallest size ring cannot fall of being large enough. ' *• ' ' (Signed) " MARIA WALLACE." The Magistrates here retired to discuss the matter rind on their return, Mr. Swaszv. hayloft quoted two clatters of thelfagrant Ace for ehinformation of the defendants, told them, that had they been found in an enclosed place instead of where hey were appre hended. they would have subjected themselves to the punishment awarded for such offence, — namely , three month.' i m pri sonment to hard labour, as rogues and vagabonds.- Mr. Smithey then pawed an encomium on Mr. Hedger for having . acted in the' spititel manner he had done en the occasion, 'and also for having given the partlesinto custody, and brought forward a public investigation into the efrcuinstances.

Yesterday afternoon an Inquisition was taken at the 1 riumpls ant Chariot, Pembroke Mews, Hyde Park-corner, b e f ore M r. Ganz., on the body of Samuel Hawkins, aged forty-five, who was killed in the following manner :—lt appeared from the evidenct• that the deceased was in the employ of Mr. Reed, of Upper Bel grave.street, builder, and was employed with a horse and cart de livering bricks at the New St. George's Hospital, last Tuesday morning, when the horse, which was about three years old, sud denly took fright and ran away, and fell down upon a heap of sand. The deceased jumped out of the cart to get the animal up, as he was in great danger of falling into the foundation which had been dug. The animal plunged violently, and in getting up struck the deceased with his head, and he was thrown into the foundation, a height of about eleven feet, and pitched upon his forehead • he was immediately taken into the hospital. Mr. John Smith, house-surgeon of St. George's Horpital, stated that the deceased was brought in about eleven o'clock on Tuesday last, he was under a complete paralysis, and a loss of motion in the whole body below the collar bone. He died the following night.— On examination he found there were four or five bones of the spine of the neck broken, which was sufficient to cause death. By the Coroner—Every thing was done for him ; his neck was broken; I never knew a person recover from a similar accident. Verdict—Accidental Death : deodand One Shilling. Thomas Cherry, the man who received the blow of an iron bolt, in William-street, Limerick, last week, from a man named Long, has since died of the wound. Lung has been com mitted to the city gaol to abide his trial at the next Assizes.— Limerick Evening Pest. . _ On Saturday morning last a poor old man, named John Thompson. a labourer of Therfield, near Royston, was found frozen to death in a barn belonging to Mr. Free, of that place. It appears that it was his usual place of rest, and when found be was .alinove destitute of "covering ; in this miserable and wretched abode were large apertures, from which he was dreadfully expmed to the Inclemency of the season ! Really humanity shudders at the melancholy Ides of a fellow creature perishing under such circunt• stances. Charity induces us to hope that the overseers of the poor of the parish of. Therfield could not be acquainted wills' 'the very miserable condition of this poor unfortunate mat , !—C.orislorid, , , , Akron/de. BIRTHS.
