Ikmadieu, a grocer, was charged upon in formation with hat nig manufactured stone blue and Queen's bloc from pipe clay, lbour, meal, and other articles, instead of starch and the necessary colouring matter, whereby he incurred a penalty of 1001. There were other counts in the information on which penal ties were also sought to be recovered. To all the charges the defendant pleaded Not Guilty. William Dursey, an Excise rarer, stated, that on the 6th of Julie last lie went to a house, Nu. 4, Corn court, ‘Vliitechapel, in company with a brother officer, where they discos ered a complete manufactory of stone blue, and seised on the premises a quantity of materials for compounding an article resembling stone blue There was a very small proportion of starch, pipe-clay being the principal material. In consequence of information the officers received from Abraham Bennett, the person in possession of the house, they went to Mr. Donadieu, who is a grocer, re siding at No. 31, Swan-place, in the Rent-road, and on searching the premises they found 73163. of adulterated stone blue. Mr. Don...diet; upon lacing asked where he gut the blue, said he had bought it from Abraham Ben net, and being asked for the bill of parcels, he for sonic time searched his file for it, but at length said he had not received any, as Bennet could slat write. Abraham Betinett stated, that he was a journeyman stone blue maker, and had been employed by Mr. Duna dieu, with whom lie had once lived as journeyman, to manufacture stone blue from materials which were sent to hint. There was but a stone of starch in the whole quantity that was seized ; the rest was pipe-clay, and an article called British smalt colouring. British smalt was sometimes used by the regular manufacturers. Mr. I)onadien thought it legal, and desired the witness to enter the manufactory at the exciae-oflice in his own name, which he declined doing, lest, if the article were illegal, the consequence of using it might fall on hunself. Air. Reeds, a stone blue manufacturer, examined the samples of the articles that were produced, winch he prove.) were not the proper materials for making stone blue. The derendant's coliitor made a trost ingenious de. fence. - 1-1.! said the materials had been tailen in payment of a bad debt flow a person who had absconded, and he depri•cated the infliction of heavy penalties on the de fendant, who was at present under a commission of bankruptcy, and who was also aged and infirm. The Gunn, iu pionotincing Judgment, expretwed their fears that the 'Motto:eta manufacture of spurious atone blue hail been carried on to a considerable extent, by which not only hail the revenue been detranded, but the purchaser had paid five shtlliugs for what was scarcely worth one. In the present instance, however, they should not press the payment of the full penalties, but should fine the defendant SI. and contlenin the whole of the apparatus and goods found in the manufactory.

He did not appear to be conscious of what he haul done, but stood completely stuyified, looking on the body as if nothing had happened. These are all the part', Wars 1 have been able to ascertain the truth of.— rite inquest is to Le held on the body of the deceased to-mort ow." PAKOCHIAL ELICTION.-011 Thursday last came on the election of a Matron to the Workhouse for the pa rish of St. Luke, Chelsea, in the place of Mrs. Cade, deceased. The candidates were a Mrs. Davis, wido.47, who for upwards of twenty years has been a housekeeper in the parish ; and a Mts. Italenbury, spinner, whirls approaching towards bO. The latter was supported the Rector, Curate, Churchwardens, Overseers, and a considerable number of the Parochial Committee, in opposition to whom, and Arr a sharp contest, which lasted from teal in the morning till set en at night, the widow was elected by a larue majority; the numbers being—Fur Mrs. Davis, 869—Mrs. Rattenbury, (*— Majority, 170. On Tuesday evening last about four o'clock, a thief endeavoured to ;get through the shop into the parlour unperceived, of the house of Mr. Browne, tobacconist, No 102, Broad -street, Ratcliffe, and during the tempo rary absence of Mrs. Browne, sole from oft the mantle piece a valuable watch and appendages, with which he escaped. CORONER'S INQUEST —On Tuesday last an inquisi tion was taken at the house of Mr. Edwards, the Cross keys tavern, in Theolsalers-road. before, 'l'. Stirling, Esq. coroner, on view of the body of Sarah Joky, aged 40 years, who was footed dead in her bed on Saturday last, at her lodgings, No. 42, Theobald's-road. The jury. room, and the passage leading to it, was filled with spec. takers, whose curiosity had been excited by the litany reports that had gone abroad ahem the death of the de. ceased. The Jury having been inipannelled, took a view of the body, which was still in bed, and piesented one of the most horrible sights we ever witnessed. It appeared that the deceased had formerly lived servant in most respectable tamilies at the West-end of the town, and bore a lutist exemplary character. Site had left her last situation with the intent of getting married ma man of small ((meow, and, taking an apartment, she had purchased household hint tore previous to her marriage, when the at:emits!) of her lover began to diminish, and subseepieutly the atiateli was set aside, and the corres pondence ceased. Site ever after appoeared to be always in a state of ;dejection. She would absent herself day after day, and tio one knew where she resorted to. For the last limelight she had not been seen, but her absence, although long, caused no uneasiness, as she W 33 so fres queenly unfits so, till last week the inmates of the house where she lodged were annoyed by a most infectious smell, and finding it issued from the apartment of the deceased, they caused the door to be opened on Saturday Last, when site was fouled dead. The body was in such a shocking state that no surgeon could approach it, in order to anatomise it ; but, limn the circ JJJJJ stance of two empty rills, which had contained laudanum, being found tinder her, it was the surgeon's opinion she drank the contents, which caused dissolution. The jury, therefore, returned a verdict that the deceased destroyed herself by taking laudanum, in a state of derangement. On the night of the Ist instant, tile house of Mrs. Jobieson, of Everton, near Liverpool, was entered by four men, and rubbed of a large semi of money and other property. The singular circumstances tender which the act was committed are worthy of record. Ili order to obtain admittance, they scratched at the door, after the manner of a dog. It was unsuspectiligly opened by the female servant. They entered, and declaring that they did MA purpose any v itelelice towards her, they put her in die pantry ; and while one of them remained below to keep watch, the others went up stairs. They found Mrs. Johnson in bed : told her not to be alarmed, no personal injury being meant, her money only being what they sought. The lady, with much presence of mind, on observing their intentions, secured unperceiv. ed a gold watch, which she had at hand, under her night clothes. They handed her to an arni-chair, and asked for stole wine Lu goitig for it she contrived to 'Liss the fire-place, and throwing tne watch among the skaings in the grate, site preserved it. They then sat down, and conversed freely with her for some time. One of them of genteel dress and manner, showed her a number of Use keys, and described to her their seve ral uses. 11,.. remarked that a person of her rank. moat have a watch ; for which they searched her be. l ,, but did not offer to search her person. After robbihe the house of money to a large amount, including a Bank post-bill of 501. specially endorsed, they politely bade Mrs. Johnson good night, and departed. They soon after returned, saying at the door that thel , had forgotten something ; but the servant denied the admittance. They were detected at Birmingham, upon presenting die hill alluded to ; brought to Liverpool, and fully committed for trial. Suretne.—A melancholy eircumstance took place at tile Greyhound Inn. Newmarket, last week. Two young geutlemen, IE. M Esq. and his brother, arrived the above house, Irons Cambridge, and spent the day there. Between seven and eights o'clock in the "veiling they prepared w return ; the waiter brought in their box coats. when the younger gentleman desired hint to careful how he handled them, us they contained loaded patois. The man put the coats down, and retired, when the gentleman who had given the caution took the pisto:s from the pockets of the coats and laid them on the table. Mr. al. then requested of his brother to see if the gig was ready; he had scarcely retired for the purpose when he was alarmed by the report of fire-arms. Hs instantly ran back, and at entering the room found his unfortu nate brother 'leeched 011 the floor, a corpse. On ex• amining the body, is was found that the ball had enter ed the cheek, and passed into the head. Both candles were extinguished. An inquest was held on the.budy, and a verdict of Mammy was re turned. The unfortu nate geittlemait appeared about 22 years of age, Was highly respected, and was allied to a family of the first respectability and property. The cause of the melan choly catastrophija said to have been a love affair.
