Saturday afternoon an Inquest was held at White. chapel Workhouse, befote Mr. Unarm, the Coroner, on the body of the infant, William Henry Sheen, who was , murdered by its father. The body was placed in a shell. The head was completely se vered, and the marks ot the murderer's fingers were on the face, where be had held it whilst he cut off the head. The first witness was Sarah Pomeroy. of I, Caroline-court, Lambethetreet. She said that she kept the house where the unfortunate affair happened. On Thursday evening, about haN•past seven te'clock, she was sitting in her own apartment, when the mother of the moldered Infant came to her and said, " Mrs. Pomeroy, come and see what my Bill has done; come up stairs, for he has cut the child's head off, and it's lying on t►e table!" I went up stairs immediately, and the mother followed me, and when I entered the room I saw the head of the child lying on a table, with the face looking towards the door. I was so alrrmed that I hurried out of the room as speedily as pos sible, and procured the assistance of Dalton, an officer; I again Went up staits, with the officer—the mother followed, and drew the attention of the persons in the room to the marks on the side of the child', bead, where the father had struck it with his knuckles, on &today morning. Before I same down I saw the body of the child lying on the bed, with a blue hedge/en on ; I did not hear Sheen come down stairs after the murder. Ebenezer Dalton, the officer, said, that In consequence of the alarm raised by the last witness, he went up into the room where the murder had been cenimitted, and found the head on the table, and the body on the bed, covered over with a counterpane. He made a search then and since, but found no instrument with which t►e act had been perpetrated. Witness, however, is satisfied it was dote with a razor. The mother of the child said, that Bill, meaning her husband, had cut the child's head off. . • . FEES IN BANKRUPTCY. An account of the Receipt and Appropriation of Fees in Bankruptcy, which has been 'minted by order Of the Howe of Commons, will put an end to much of the uncertainty which has prevailed with respect to the emoluments which the Lord Chancellor has derived from them. The lArge3t share of these fees falls to Lord Thurlow, as 4, Patentee for the execution of the Laws and Statutes concerning Bankrupts.' The ave. rage receipts of his Lordship from the year 1811 to, 1826 inclusive, amount to 7,1651. annually. The two most productive years during this period were 1816, when the net sum received by him was 10,7651. and the year 1826, when it was 13,2681. The sources and appropriation of this part of the tees \vill be better un derstood by the following details for the year 1826: G ROSS RIC RIM% For 3,:.0.5 Commissions 375 Supersetleas - 61 Renewed Commissions 5 Writs of Procedendo 59 Resealed Commissions I TION. £15,976 0 10 660 2 6 147 7 10 9 1 9 13 0 0 To the Hanaper, fur 1,960 Com nthious at Public &al 81,22.5 0 0 Ditto for I,34sCommissions at Private Seal Ditto for 219 Supersedeas at Public Seal Ditto for 156 Supersedeas at Private Seal Ditto for 49 renewed Commis- 1,003 13 0 10 19' 0 27 6 0 aims at Public Seal - Ditto for 12 renewed Commis. 15 6 3 shins at Private Seal - Ditto fur's Writs of Procetlendo 5 5 0 at Private Seal The Lord Chancellor's Purse bearer for Docket Fees for 3,305 Commissions Ditto for 375 Supersedeas - Ditto for 61 renewed Commis sions - Ditto for 3 Writs of Proeedendo Office A t ypenses, Stationery, atc. 1 6 3 550 10 0 37 10 0 5 1 0 0 3 0 071 1$ 0 £16,805 12 11 3,636 if 6 Coacnisa—Have you any reason to believe that she was acces sary to the murder? ➢alton—l think not; the facts were communicated to the Ma gistrates ; and ➢avis, an officer, was sent after Sheen, with instruc tions to pursue hint into Wales, where it is supposed be is gone. In answer to some qtrestions pat by the Jury, Dalton said that he thought the child was placed on the table, and then murdered. There was a considerable quantity of blood on the table, and also on the Boor. --- ----- Letitia Sheen, the mother of the child, was next examined—She Is a young woman, about 26 years of age, and seemed greatly af flicted. She said that on Thursday last, iti the early part of the day, her husband and herself were very comfortable together, and had no words; about two o'clock in the afternoon she went out to visit her mother, and took the child with her, and returned about live o'clock ; she then went to a public-house, where her husband *as playing at skittles with some other men; he left his coin. panions, and came home with her; the child was with her ; he sat with her in the apartment till about eight o'clock, and then he said he wished to have some tea; she went oat to procure some, and left him and the child on the bed; she was out about a quarter sal an hour, and on her return saw the child's head lying on the table ; her husband was not in the room ; she was greatly alarmed, hastened down stairs,and informed the people in the house, and the officers, of the circumstance; she told the officers to gu to her husband's mother, in White's-yard, Itusemary•lane, as he might be the' ; she has nut seen her husband from the time .hr left him in the room. Coacnten—Have you any doubt that he committed the murder? Witness—l have no doubt tit.x he committed the murder; he had always been kind to the child. You bad no concern in the murder, or ever consented to it ? THE MURDER IN Nrt sum received by the Patentee - 13,569 19 5 The average amount of fees received in the office of the Lord Chancell ,r's Secretary of Bankrupts is from 1811 to 1826, 7,7861. of which 5,62'21. is paid to the Lord Chancellor, 1,8891. to the Secretary, and 2 , 2 7 41 . to the Deputy Secretary and Clerks. The sum thus payaide to the Lord Chancellor is, with other fees re ceived in the House of Lords, &e. subject to the pay ment, by his Lordship, of 2.5001. a year, to the account of the Vice Chancellor. The average amount of the annoal payments to the' Lord Chancellor, out of the fees received by his Lord ship's purse-beater, is between 5001. and 60 1. a year. 01 the residue of these fees, which altogether average about 1,8001. a year, nearly 4001. is paid to the Chaff Wax, 3001. to the Sealer, and--2001. to the Gentleman Chamber. • Witness--Never. William Sheen, the father of the murderer, was then called.— Ile was in tears the whole time he was under examination. Ile said, that on Thursday evening, about eight o'clock, his son came to his house, in Whites-yard, Rosemary-lane; his coat and hat were off; I asked him If he had been fightutg; he said he had, with two or three Irishmen,in a skittle.ground, and had struck one of them in the shoulder with his knife ; I walked down with him to St. ,Katherine's, and I said I would endeavour to settle the affair; he made no confession to me of having murdered the child. We went together to the residence of a Mr. Pugh,a cowkeeper, in Carnaby. market, to whom he told the sante story of having fought with the Irishmen; I left bins in Oxford-sues:, and he said he was going to Barnet, and should remain there unti l could settle with the Irish. man, and he directed me to give bins a pound if that would satisfy him; my.son had no coat or hat ou when he came to ow, but he borrowed one of Mr. Pugh. John Partridge, one of the Parish Beadles said, that the coat was found in the apartment where the murder was committed, and which was supposed to belong to Sheen; it was stained with blood on the left sleeve and front. When the murderer went away, be had an a brown coat, corded trousers a red-plush waistcoat, and silk hat. Dalton said, that he had often seen Sheen in the coat The total average anr.ual amount of the emoluments of the office of Chancellor (including the fees received in the House of Lords) has been for the twelve years since ire payment of 2,5001. a year to the account of tLe Vice Chancellor, and the allowance of fees (for merly accounted for to the Great Seal) fur payment of the Deputy Se..retai y and Clerks in the Bankrupt. Office, 14,6761. CURE FOR THIS STING OF WASPS —lt has been found by experience, that the best remedy fur the sting of wasps and bees is to apply to the part affected common culinary salt, moistened with a little water ; and even in a ctse where a person has acci dentally swallowed a wasp in a draught of any kind of liquor, and been stung by it in the pipe, the alai ntiug symptoms that ensue may be almost immediately relieved by swallowing repeated doses of water saturated with salt. Its question. hlf. Pugh, the person alluded to, and his wife, said, that on Thursday evening, when Sheen and his son came to their house to borrow some money, the sun said he bad stabbed an IriahniJ n, and (throwing down a knite). said he had done with that, and b.gged them for GOD% sake to bum it. the knife was here produced. — it was a clasp knife, tattier blunt, but pointed, and apparently of sufficient strength to sever the head from the body.] The witnesses said their was no blood on it when Sheen threw it down; they lent him 10s. Letitia Sheen said she had seen the knife in question in her hus band's possession. This being the whole of the evidence, the Coroner briefly rimmed up, and the Jury instantly returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against William Sheen, the father of the child. A Lop reward is offered for the apprehension of Sheen, and Officers have been dispatched in all directions after hint, but their efforts have hitherto been unsuccessful.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MAT It ASII43IIIOIINT or PUSEIIIIM A mei was posted in Court this morning, formally declaring the arrangemeat of business Seed by the Loan Cumscau.os at the last sitting of the Court. The following is the order of the arrange ment:—On Mondays and Tuesdays seven appeals each day are to be set down for bearing; on Wednesday, motions and three ap peals; wad at the sitting of the Court, pressing matters in lunacy. On Thursday and Friday his Lordship sits in the House of Lords; and on Saturday seven appeals, and pressing matters in bankruptcy at the sitting of the Court. It was also announced, that nu cases in lunacy or bankruptcy should be ►eard, unless the papers in each case had been previously delivered to the respective Secretaries. MILL P. anAltSloll4 Mr. FONILAIIIIQUIL, immetilate/y his Lordship bad taken his seat, mentioned this case, which bad been beard and decided by.the Lord laden. The only difficulty now was as-to the payment of the money opt of Court. The Loan Cnaircaitoa observed, that the day for motions had passed. Mr. Foustarroot submitted, that it was an urgent motion, and be understood they were always taken. Tin Lord CHAISCIILLOIL saul be was in Court on Wednesday, and no one was prepared to go on with the motions. Mr. Fonstaritune observed, that, strictly speaking. every day in term was a motion day. His Lordship ultimately directed the case to be mentioned on Wednesday. • At the rising of the Court a Mr. Campbell moved In person that he might be discharged from the custody of the Sheriff, in which he was under a writ of attachment from this Court for contempt, in not having put in his answer. He alleged that a certain osder re cited in the bill, for not answering which he had been committed, was not in existence, and that the Court had been deceived when it granted the order. The Loan CHANCILLLOIL asked him if he had affidavits of the facts he stated, and if he bad given nom: to the other aide? Mr. Campbell replied he had nut; but he wished to have awe* of habeas sorra ftinted him, that he might be brought op Cla Mir future day. The LORD CMASCaLLOR said he might, as of COWS! and cerigbt, have the writ, but that it would be of no use to him unless be pre pared himself by evidence of his own case, and by notice to the other side, who had a right to be heard against his application. The facts might be as the applicant stated them, but the Court could not decide upon that statement only. He recommend:d'him to provide himself with professional assistance. Mr. TaWILOVE said he was instructed by the applicant to move, but be was um aware of his intention of making this personal appli cation to the Court. hir. Campbell declined to follow the Lord Chancellor's advi and the writ was ordered to be made reium.ible as he wibbed it. COURT OF. KING'S BENCH, Mar SINCLAIR AGAINST MINIX AND MINIM. Mr. F. POLLOCK Mewed cause against a rule for a new trial,. oh. mined in last Alichaelmas Term by Mr. Staten. It was an action against the managers of Covent garden Theatre for a breach of con tract, tried before the Lord Chief Justice at the Sittings after last Trinity Term, when the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. The defendants had, by their letters to the plaintiff, engaged him to per. form at the theatre for 58 nights dui lug the seasons of 18f4 and 1825, at 201. per night; and the Ist of October was named in one of the letters for the time when the engagement was to begin. The plaintiff, however, did not arrive in London till the 15th of October, when he found the part destined for hint in the Opera of Der Freischids filled up be Mr. Pearman. The defendants told the plaintiff, that as be had not come to town in time, they did not consider themselves bound by :be engagement they had made with bins ; but they at the same time agreed to employ him fee as many nights during the season as they could, at tile same rate of 20. per night; and in conse quence of this agreement the plait tiff refund to accept an advan tageous offer made to hint irons another Tinter. The defendants, however, employed him se widows (not more than nate nights during the whole season), that he conceived they had not per formed their promise ; and therefore brought the action. The Lord Chief Justice, un the trial, thought the original contr...et had been abandoned, and that a new contract bad been made, and left it to the Jury to consider whether the plaintiff had been employed a reasonable number of nights under that second amuse; where.' upon the Jury found fur the plaintiff, with 4801. damages. The rule Nisi for a new trial was moved for, en the ground of ntiall. rectlon, and also because, allowing a second contract to have been entered into, there was no count in the declaration applicable to such secor.t: contract. Mr, P. Pollock, in showing cause, coo. tended that his Lordship's direction was right; but some discussion arising between hint and the Attorney-General on that direction. Lord Tenterden thought it would be the safest way that a new trial should be had, giving. the plaintiff liberty to amend his deela* ration ; and the arrangement being assented to, the rule was made absolute, and it was also ordered that the costs should abide the event of a slew trial. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 14. The Court were occupied a considerable portion of the day in justifications of hail, after which they disposed of several motions Fur new trials, all of which were, however, totally •uid of public interest.

He waa about to place them in his pocket, when a person, who described himself a coo-table, came up, and very unceremoniously divested him of the "14' intimating be should take better care of them for the loser dm any other person. Applicant was unwilling at first to pet with what be considered he was entitled to as the finder, es person having observed bins pick up the prize notwithuni. fog which he very fairly offered to "go halves " with the constable, who, however, would listen to no arrangement, he walked of to the watchbouso. Applicant followed him thither, and having obtained Ms Mille, stow came forward to apprise, the Magistrate of the circumstance, for the purpose of having the DOM, which amounted to some thousands, delivered up is the right owner. Mr. Cole added, that be hoped he should oat itarevrarded for being the chief instrument in the recovery of sod a large mans of money to the individual to whom it belonged. The Magistrate, on hearing the story, remarked, that the co stables whoever be was, acted perfectly right in taking forcible positional of the notes from the applicant, who, by his own accost, considered they were his property, from the circunutance of he having found them, and would in all probability have turned then to his own advantage, but fer the timely interference of the penal in whose possession they now were: The constable, whose name is Hamilton, was now sent for, who en teeing the applicant, could not refrain from laughter. Cpas which the latter said, in a pet, " Aye, Mr. Constable, you enure laugh me out of the mosey I found last night. Produce the owes you took front me, and let the Magisuate see that I have vast et aggerated their amount." Hamilton drew out of his pocket a roll of note*, which bore tie appearance of bank paper , and having handed them to the Magie trate, said that the whole lot were not worth a groat. The Magis trate, on inspecting them, found the constable's words verified, far the " vast sum" which the applicant described as hewing beets the fortunate Ender of was nothing but a roll of what are termed he Mari," which are distributed by sundry frizeun in town to there epos" whose heeds they operate.
