NEW COURTS. It was expected that the King's Bench would this day have taken yosaession of its new court, and resumed its plate in 'Westminster This theatre of forensic eloquence is yet, it seems, for a few months longer to be divested of the most brilliant of its four seats of ashes, ant the " halt of the four courts," of which lawyers talk so p-ouily, is still to be a thing that was, and which, it is to be hoped ail lovers of venerable antiquity and im holy associations, may yet lir vain, is a little longer to be in nuhibut, or in abeyance, as I lame l jnrisconsoilts say of the freehold, which even their lynx eyed sagacity cannot trace into the actual possession of John Doe or Richard Roe, or some other man of stout heart and iron frame, who is able to answer all the claims of his feudal superior. The court emit was destined for the King's Bench, and which was to have Keen redly this day was, we understand, on examination by the Judges, found to bb so very incommodious, and badly lighted, that Viey refused to have it, and chose the one destined fot the Ex- Ovine?, which is nearly as large again, and in all respects muc'i tone convenient. This court is not yet ready for their reception. One winders by what fatality the persons who devised the new ar. ?aagements in Westminster Hall could have assigned an apartment ro comparatively spacious for a court where the business is an trilling as the Exchequer, and such a: wretched hovel for the King's Bench, the highest court of criminal jurisdiction in the realm, in which, by a fiction of law, the King himself is always supposed to sit, and in which the amount of business would quadruple that of all the other common law courts putt together. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, WESTMINSTER, Nov. 7.

Mr. Justice Park complained of the closeness of the ('nun: what will his Lordship say when the dog day's come ? The Court is lighted by a small moan lantern, almost concealed from view by the bead mg and fancy work, that to our taste appears more like an incum trance than an ornament. The whole of the interior is of weirs. toting. The construction of the Court is certainly favourable for the conveyance of sound ; and, perhaps, that is the only good tl-mit about it. There Is no students' box, which, when the Lord Justice sits at Nisi Pried, will be found very inconvenient. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MONDAY, Nov. 7. ilf;ehaelmas Term. This being the first day of Term the Lord Chief Baron and the other Judges did not enter the Court till past one, atter having breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor. :levers' cases were called on, but as the defendants had not re ceived regular notice they were not prepared; the further hearing was therefore postponed to a future day. PREROOATIVE COURT, MONDAY, Nov. 7. ( Before Sir J. Nicuot.L.l IN RE OF THE WILL OE THE REV. JAS.EWANS. This instituted to obtain the judgment of the Court, whether an unfinished paper propounded as a co dicil to the will of the Rev. Mr. Evans, was a valid instrument _ J. Tom the allegations it appeared, that on the 20th of May, in the resent year, the testator made his will, and soon after drew out • formal codicil, altering and revoking certain parts of this will, but which codicil contained neither date nor signature. After the tea vetoes death, which took place on the 20th of August last, the will and codicil were found in his writing-desk, and on examining them It was discovered that they had at some time been attached together with sealing-wax. Sir Joint Nicitot.x, in pronouncing judgment, observed, that the codicil propounded being an unfinished paper, the presump. lion of law was against it, and that presumption must be repelled by circumstances, showing that the testator was prevented by sudden death from completing it; or by other circumstances, Proving that ho had, up to the time of his death, recognised it as a valid instrument. Nothing of that kind had been shown in the present instance, and the Court therefore was of opinion that the codicil must be thrown out, and the will alone admit. ted to proof. The contents of the will and codicil did not transpire, but it was seated that those of the latter were very unimportant. LORD MAYOR'S COURT, 3losroatr, Nov. 7. LAWSON AND VARNER v. THE Tars Tree OF THE 111 TISH /TEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. Mr. Botesiwo stated to the Jury, that the plaintiffs in this ease were highly respectable newspaper agents; that the defendants were Lieutenant-Oeneral Sir W. Congreve. Bart., Sir .1. S. Lilly, haries Mayne, Esq., Edward Walpole, Esq. and another Gen tleman, and that the garnishees were Messrs. l'eres, %Van!, and Co. of Lnmbard-street. The present proceeding was instituted to recover the sum of 2071. lla for advertisements inserted by the plaintiffs for the defendants, who were trustees of a new company, railed the British Steam Navigation Company. The Learned Counsel feared that his friend Sir W. Congress engaged, when he entered upon this speculation, in an unprofitable and unfortunate , ob. The company's funds had been placed in the hands of the garnishees, where they remained, as it would be proved in evidence, to the amount of about 1,7201. and he thought there could be no question of the responsibility of those trustees. It did not signify whether the company was or was not at work. All that it was ' , reviser, to show was, that the money was in the hands of the baskem, and that the plaintiffs was a trirrafide claim. A Clerk in the banking-house of Meters. Were and de. posed, that Mr. Ward was a partner in the baoking.huuse of Messrs. Vere, Ward, and Co. Mr. B , for the defendants, asked in whose names the account of the British Steam Navigation Company stood ? Adding, that he knew it did not stand in the names of those individuals, roe in the names of any individuals at all. The witness said, it stood in the names of the five individuals srentionad as MAMAS : . . - f • - was authorised to sell the !suer. paid the sum stated to have been given. It was also caar that Mr. Curtis had promised to refund the money which had thus improperly got into his pos sermon. With regard to those companies, he wished it to he understood, that if persons received money upon the pretence that there were shares existing, while, at the smile time, there we. no rovnti for saying so, they might consider themselves very well off if they escaped without being prosecuted tot receiving money under false pretences. Ile also expressed a hope that the parties to the numerous frauds which had been lately prutiuett in speculations of this kind would be severely punished. The Jury immediately found a verdict fur the plaintiff, to the full amount of his demand. SECONDARIES• OFFICE. Cottm.or-sTatEr, :MONDAY, Nov. 7. SPF.Nfift n W•TERTIOCST, Mr. Baontimix,;!; the part of the plaintiff; stated the case to the Jury. The action was brought by his client, Mr. Spencer, a jeweller, against Mr. Waterhouse, the well-known proprietor of I the Swan-with-Two Necks, in Lad-lane, under the following cir cumstances :--On the 31 of January last a box, containing articles ' of jewellery of the value of 1:.01., was booked at the defendant's coach-office, to be forwarded by The Courier coach to Mr. John Wl/04.1011, Dale -street, Liverpool, a traveller in the employ of the plaintiff. Mr. Woodward left London on the 3d of January, the day the parcel was booked, and arrived there on the 7th ; he immediately made inquiry after the parcel, but found that it had not arrived ; he waited on several of the plaintiff's customers for orders, but could not obtain any, in consequence of the box con- ' taining samples of the goods he intended to sell not having arrived : 'he could have sold goods to the amount of 40/. had the box arrived, by which the plaintiff would have cleared a profit of 13!. After waiting in Liverpool until the Uth of January, lie returned to town, and, on inquiry, he ascertained that the box had been for warded to Liverpool by The Champion instead of The Courier coach, and that it was sent back again to town, after which it was again forwarded to Liverpool by The Courier coach, but on its arrival there, the plaintiff's traveller had left that place._ The box was restored to the plaintiff on the 20th of February. The plaintiff' therefore sought by the present action, to recover, first. the expenses incurred by the plaintiff's traveller, while staying at Liver pool, and cf his journey there and back. Secondly, for the ex pense, of the plaintiff's attorney, in attending on the defendant, to make inquiries respecting the parcel, amounting to 2/. ; and, thirdly, foe the prohts the plaintiff had lost in consequence of the non-delirery of the box, preventing him front diapo.ing of content.. The Learned Counsel then called 111 r. N oodward, the plaintiffs traveller, and Mr. Sergeant, his attorney, who proved the abnre statement. Mr. LEE, in addressing the Jury for the defendant, said, that his client having suffered judgment to go Ey default, the only guea lion for the consideration of the Jury, was Cie amount of the damages to be nwarded, and which, in his opinion, ought to be eery trifling. The goods had since been restored to the plaintiff. who had no doubt made a profit by the sale of them. The Secondary then summed up the evidence, and the Jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damagesl2l. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MONDAY, Nov. 7. TRI.4L OF MRS. HORNE. THE [IWO V. EOTFAWT. or nnt. 1, Mr. BARRAID—Have you got the books here? Witness—No; I was not required to bring them. Mr. BARNARD—ReaIIy this is quite a surprise upon me. I know it is not mentioned in the bankers' book that the money is in the names of those individuals, and I den their responsi bility. The account is merely on account of t he trustees, with. cut naming them. Mr. HOLLAND—Suppose what you state to be the fact, I con t.:A, that the defendants are responsible, and that the money can be attached. lam willing to give you the utmost latitude.

The Jury immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff for Aft l•ONDON, OPORTO. AND LISBON STEAM-PACKET NAVIGATION CO3I PAM!. WILLIAMS V. CURTIS. _ _ Samuel Abraham came up this morning to be heard upon his petition. Ilia discharge was opposed by several creditors, and par ticularly by a Mr. James Ilulme, on the ground of his having con cealed a horse and other things, which ought to bate been given up to the Court for the benefit of his creditors. This creditor was severely cross-examined by Mr. HEATH (Counsel for the insolvent), who elicited that he had, since the filing of the petition, applied to the insolvent, by an agent of the name of Thorley, to endeavour to obtain two leases in the insolvent's right, but which it appeared he had assigned over to some other of his creditors before. Mr. HEATH contended that a creditor could not, after he bad received a notice of an insolvent's intention of applying for the benefit of the Act, take advantage of getting an available security into his own private hands against his bona fidc creditors. The CounT said they agreed with the Learned Counsel, and, that when the insolvent's attorney had completed his services, be should be discharged. Adjourned accordingly. ROYAL COURT, GUERNSEY, SATURDAY, Ocr. 29. This was an action instituted against Mrs. Cecilia C. E. Zoffany, wife of the Rev. Mr. Ilome, far having concealed Laura E. Horne, her youngest daughter, against the sentence of the Court, which or dered that the said L. E. Horne snould be given up on the lit of September last, to the said Mr. Horne, her father. On Saturday, the 22(1 inst. Mrs. Home was produced at the bar to be tried, but owing to the absence of two of the witnesses. the Crown Officers demanded a week's delay. This day the prisoner re-appeared ; the Court was crowded to an excess, in order to hear this novel and interesting trial. • The following witnesses were then called and sworn : Illrs. Lihou.—Mrs. Home lived at my house. The police placed two guards to watch over the child that it might not be taken away. I heard the child's voice on the night of the 30th of August. The child was to be given up to the police on the following day. It was impossible for the child to abscond without the knowledge of the mother. Mrs. Horne has never offered me any thing to conceal the child. S. Toy and A. Gallienne, who were placed as guards over the child, could not account fur its absence. Peter Lihou said he was offered DOI. by Mrs. Horne to conceal the child. which he refused. He went to Sark at the request of the prisoner, to ask Joe to take the child, for which journey he recvived 20s. from Mrs. Horne. Mitt Lihou deposed to having heard the child's voice on the night of the 30th of August. She apprehended something, and warned the guards, as the latch of Mrs. Horne's bed-room door had been taken off: She does not know how the child was carried away, but the mother must have assisted. (Mrs. Home, during the evidence of the witnesses, made several remarks, and was repnmanded by the President.) Advocate Carrft, who pleaded fur Mrs. Home, stated that this Case was novel and solitary on the records of this island—that a tlsw appeared in the action, as it should have been entered differ ently, and hoped the Court would take the whole into consideration —and that the evidence produced was not to the point, no person having seen Mrs. Horne assist in the child's flight. Mr& Home then addressed the Court in the following manner:— " Gentlemen—lt is not as a guilty woman, nor as a supplicant for mercy, that I appear at your bar this day. I present myself before you with that tranquillity of soul, which ever accompanies those who are void of offence ! The officers of the King have charged me with crime as guilty of contempt towards this honour.. able Court. This, in fact, is the foundation of the present action against me ; bdt I trust to prove, in a few words, the falsity of this accusation. In fact, Gentlemen, so far from a failure of respect, I protest I feel towards you the greatest deference; for can I be iguorant that, as representatives of our Most Gracious Sovereign. you are here to hold, with impartial balance, the scales ofJustice !

The Learned lientleman then proceeded to examine the evidence, and declared that the prisoner was fully convicted of disobeying the order of the Court ; but that, under all circumstances of the case. taking into consideration the lnrg incarceration she had already sustained, concluded that she should be confined a fortnight, and condemned to the costs.

The PRESIDENT having summed up the evidence, and dwelt upon the nature of the offence of which Mrs. Home was guilty, the Court condemned her to fifteen days' imprisonment, and to the costs. SALFORD QUARTER SESSIONS, Nov. 3. Julia Ferriday (a deaf and dumb man), JollaKeethars, and Abraham nue lary, were indicted for riotously assaulting Robert Ashworth, at (Alban), on the 49th of August last. Before the defendant Ferriday was arraigned, Mr. COLTMAN, who conducted the prosecution, begged to mention to the Court some authorities, showin g that deaf and dumb persons might be tried, though it might be impossible to make them comprehend the nature of the proceedings )I , 2:ain't them. One of these was in Bale's Pleas of the Crown, vol. 27, page 81, and was as follows:—" A man that is males rt stirring a antivitate, is in presumption of law an ideot, and the trailer, because lie bath no possibility to under stand what is forpidden by law to be done, or under what penalties; but if it can appbar that he bath the use of understanding, which many of that condition discover by signs to a very great measure, then he may be tried, and suffer judgment and execution, though great caution Is to be used therein." The defendant was then arraigned, and asked whether he was guilty or not guilty. Of conrse he made no reply. A jury was therefore sworn to inquire wherefore he stood mute. The only wit ness examined was his mother, who stated that he had been deaf and dumb from his birth. She said he could he made to under stand many things; he was married, and could get his own living. Be worked as a collier, and earned 41. 641. a day. Mr. Nonwts-1 think that will be suffieent. Mr. Butellabt—Gentlemen of the Jury, do you find that the prisoner stands mute of malice or by the visitation of God ? The Jury consulted for a moment, and the Foreman then said, " We find by the visitation of God, and pally!" (A loud laugh.) Mr. Bt RCIIA LL—Gentlemen, you are not trying that yet. A plea of Not Guilty was then entered, and as Ferriday had no Counsel, Mr. Armstrong, at the request of the Court, undertook his defence. The trial of the three defendants then proceeded, and occupied the Court for a very considerable time. It appeared from the evi dence, that the assault arose out of the turn-out of' the spinners of Messrs. Cussons, Bradley, and Wilde, at Oldham; but, contrary to the usual course in such cases, the charge was preferred by one of the turn-outs against two of the persona who had supplied their places. It appeared that on the 29th of August the defendants Buckley and Kershaw were drinking at a public•liouse in Oldham, when the prosecutor and other turn-out spinners came in. A quir rel arose between them, the origin of which was differently repre sented by the different parties; and on leaving the house, the pro secutor was attacked by Buckley, Kershaw, and another man, who has absconded ; one of them also made a signal to the deaf and dumb defendant, who immediately joined in the attack. though it did not appear that lie could have known any thing of the origin of the quarrel. The prosecutor was most dreadfully kicked and beaten, and was thrown into a pond, where he was kept for some time. On the part of the defendants, an attempt was made to show that they acted merely in self-defence, but it failed entirely. they were all found Gnilly, and sentenced to two years' impri sonment in Lancaster Castle.--ManchertcrTer. Ls:QUEST UN COUNT WORONZOTV'S CO4CIIMAN On Saturday a Jury was impanelled by THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. the Coroner, at the sign of the Wagon and Horses IR Brent ford, at the foot of Kew Bridge, to inquire into the circumstances of the lamentable death of William Findlay, aged est years, nearly forty years upper coachman to the Count Woronzow. The melan. eholy affair produced the deepest interest, and during the inveatiga. Lion the house was much crowded. The first witness examined was John Chapvies, the footman ; he appeared very ill from the injuries he had received. Ile stated that he was footman to Count Woronzow ; the deceased was the Count's upper coachman. was shout C 1 years of age, and had been many years in that Nobleman's employ. He was remarkably steady and sober in his habits, and was also considered an experi enced coachman. The Count had, for the last week or two, been on a visit to Lady Pembroke, at her mansion at Richmond, and on Thursday night, about nine o'clock, he left in his travelling chariot for his town residence. in company with his secretary. The night was very dark, and, although the lamps were alight, they were of very little service. Witness sat on the box with the deceased. They had proceeded as far as Kew lane, when witness told the de coaxed that he feared he was getting ton near the footpath. The latter persisted he was going right, and the next moment, by a vio lent concussion, he was thrown oft' the box, and fell with such violence that he was quite insensible; his right arm was fractured, and his shoulder put out. As soon as he recovered himself, he fol lowed the chariot, as well as he was able, and found it at this house, and the coachman quite dead. Witnrsa has had his arm set since by Dr. Ralph, and he is now doing well. . _ CoaowiLLAre you sure the deceaThed was not in liquor ? Witness—l am certain he was not tipsy ;we had very little to drink before we left her Ladyship's house; the coachman knew well what he was ;Mow. Joror—Are you aware what caused the concussion you Ppenk of? Witness--I was not at the time, but I have since ascertained that it was caused by the wheel coming in contact with a small bridge by the side of the road, over a drain leading to a gentleman's fore court. One of the Jurymen here explained—He said that the drain alluded to is a sort of gutter by the side of the road, and a small road was made over it from the carriage way, and at either side is a post about a foot high, and since the dark nights had commenced they had been whitened to prevent accidents. It is supposed that the wheels must have come against one of the posts, and produced the melancholy consequence. %%Intern Taylor stated that he lived at this house (the Wagon and Horses), and on the night in question, about ten minutes be fore ten o'clock, he was standing at the door with a chaise cart, and saw a gentleman's chariot, with the Imps alight, coming sharply round the corner from Kew Bridge. Witness fearing that it would come against the chaise Mt, called out to the coachman, but re ceived no answer. Presently the Count Woronzow put his head out of the window, and called out, " For God's sake, stop the horses ! stop the homes!" Witness pursued as fast as possible, and the animals turned on to a large heap of flints, on the near side of the road, and witness, seizing the reins, prevented them going any further. Mr. Pope, the landlord, came up with a light, and the Count sod his secre'ary were taken out of the chariot, and assisted to the Star and Garter Inn. The Count, on getting out of the carriage, cried out, " Where is my poor coachman ! my poor coachman !" and seemed till then unaware of what had taken place. Tne deceased was found hanging between the horses, between the pole and the splinter-bar, with his heels upwards, and entangled in the reins of the off-side horse. He was quite dead, and bleeding from his mouth and nose in a most drearlfid manner. Ile was ex trleated, and carried into the house, and 111 r. Ralph, the surgeon of Old Brentford, sent for, but his assistance was unnecessary. Pre sently after, the footman came up with the deceased's hat. He had his nrm broken, and his wrist and shoulder put out. Mr. Henry Ralph, surgeon, at Old Brentford, stated that when he saw the deceased he was quite dead. His jaw-bone was broken, Mt scull fractured, and Wright foot was tom away from the leg, and hanging by only two or three tendons, which injuries were the cane of bin death. It was here (deserved that the spot where the concussion took place was about three quarters of a mile from where carriage was stopped, which distance the unfortunate coachman was dragged. The horses passed over the bridge, and the toll collector threw open the gate in the regular way, but did net perceive the situation of the deceased, nor did the Count himself know what had taken place till he saw the horses, on reaching the Star and Garter turn to the left instead of the right, and then he called oat. The Cozener said the accident was truly lamentable, particularly as thr deceased had left a wife and family to deplore his loss. The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." SisaULAR A a assr.—A circumstance of rather a novel nature occurred on Saturdey last, at the church of St. Mary Somerset, Upper Thames-street. A sermon had been an nounced to be preached there on thattlay (being the Anni versary of the Gunpowder Plot), by the Rev. Thomas Dixon, formerly a Popish Priest, but!now a Minister of the Established Cliurch. The congregation was tolerably nu merous, and the piayers were read by the Rev. Mr. Jer grove (ItActor), when, all on a sudden, a huge brawny arm was stretched over into the pew where sat the Rev. Mr. I)ixon, and a hand of corresponding size and iron nerve displayed for one instant that terrific article "a writ" and in the next popped on the shoulder of the thundrstruek divine, with a touch like that of a magician's wand, while a voice whispered three wants of ominous import—" I arrest you as my prisoner !" A trifling hubbub took place, and the parson. marshalled by a brace of bailiffs, entered the vestry room, where, it would seem, some arrangement took place, for he soon after returned, and mounted the pulpit. If the arrest was made by his Papist enemies--or no matter by whom—it was a mean and malignant mode of taking revenge. There was nothing to prevent the exe cution of the writ before or after divine service; it was a violation of all common decency to select such a time and such a pace wantonly and unnecessarily —3ferninc raper. • room., • ay. townlrOlt you LOW gr..ICISI, Mail - CM.,5; AVE 11,411.

Yesterday a man of very respectable appearance and gentlemanly address, who gave his name Thomas Ronto ' and described himself as a weaver residing in Itetlinal- green, was brought up and placed at the bar. on a charge of purloining various small articles of plate, I from a coffee-house in the neighbourhood of this office. Robert Sherwin, a waiter belonging to the Oarrick's Head. in Bow -street, deposed, that oo many occasions lately, several silver spoons and other pieces of plate of a similar description having been missed from the coffee-mom, he was induced to suspect the priso ner (who was in the habit of coining in late, after the breaking up of the theatres, and ordering ramp steaks, &c.) as concerned in their abstraction. Ile communicated his suspicions to Mrs. Tho mas, the wife of the proprietor of the establishment to which he he longed, and in order to detect the thief, laid the cloth, on Saturday evening last, in such a manner as to be able, at a single coup d'reil, to discover the disappearance of any of its appurtenances, of which he placed on the table no more than the number necessary. Hardly had he made his arrangements when the prisoner entered, and, In his usual manner, called for" a beef-steak, to be done quick." Witness took the order, and went to the bar to cut the bread, on his return with which he at once saw that a salt-cellar and spoon had been removed. Without seeming to take any notice of what Ice had observed, he went, under pretence of bringing up the steak, and called in Morris, the patrol, who went up with him to Mr. Ronto, and acquainted him with the nature of the suspicions enter tained against him. Al'itness now found that, during hie second absence, two of the table-spoons had disappeared. The prisoner treated the charge against him with much seeming indifference, saying, " Well, then, take me into custody if you like ;"and on his rising, the articles missing were found on the bench upon which he was mated. concealed beneath the lappets of his coat. The salt cellar and spoons were now produced and identified, 3lorris con firming the witness's statement as far as he was concerned. The prisoner admitted lie had been in the habit of frequenting the house, and watproceecling, when Sir RICHARD BIRNIE humanely cautioned him as to commit. ting himself, especially as he had no legal adviser present; but added, that if he insisted on making any statement, he was bound to hear it. Alf 'tont°, however, under all the circumstances, availed him self of his Worship's advice ; and having declared that he should decline saying anything more at present, wu fully commfttecl for trial. HATTON-GARDEN, Sydney Smith, whit;;,a; tried the Westdrins before last, at the Old Bailey, under Lord Ellenborough's Act, for stabbing Mr. Waters, landlord of the Three Tuna public-house, was brought up in cus tody of Cadby, a constable on the Foundling estate, charged on suspicion of stealing a quantity of plate from the house of James entworth, Esq., No. 22. hunter-street, Brunswick.square. Mrs. Wentworth stated, that the prisoner had been employed for some time as an occasional servant. On Friday evening he cleaned up the plate after dinner, and directed the conk to take it up to the parlour for safety ; he went out; in a short time after, a knock came to the street door, and a letter was put into the hands of the servant, addressed to " Mrs. AVentworth," the purport of which was, " a request from a Mr. Steele to Mrs. Wentworth, to accommodate a female friend for a night or two, in her house, as his just then happened to be particularly crowded." Mrs. Wentworth, on reading the note, expressed much surprise, as she had not the honour of any acquaintance with the writer; however, she went down stairs to speak to the messenger, but, to her great surprise, he was gone. This circumstance naturally excited suspicion, and on searching the parlours it was found that the plate which had been deposited on the sideboard had disap. peared. It was quite evident that whoever had committed the rob bery must have been well acquainted with the place, as Lome plated articles which lay on the same place had not been touched. On inquiry it appeared that there was a gentleman named Steele, re siding in Marchmont-street, but he denied any knowledge of the letter. Carlby stated that the prisoner had been suspected of n rob bery under somewhat similar circumstances some time since, and he had been in custody on a charge of robbery at a house in Mid dleton -street, but was liberated from the want of sufficient evidence. In the present ease, there was reason to believe that the property might be traced if time was allowed for inquiry. Mr. Rooms, the sitting Magistrate, observed, that the circum stances were extremely suspicious, and he should therefore remand the prisoner for farther examination. UNION-HALL. On Monday, as usual, the sitting Magistrate, R. J. Cir Alf BE as, Esq. was occupied nearly the whole of the day in hearing charges °isnot and assault. These offences have increased in a threefold proportion in the district since so many of the lower order of the Irish have taken up their abode in it, and the Sabbath is generally the day selected by them for meeting in hostile array and determin ing their quarrels. On Sunday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, the neighbourhood of Gravel.lane was thrown into some confusion by one of those skirmishes called " Irish fights" taking place there. It appeared that it commenced in a public-house, in the tap-room of which a party of Munster and Connaught boys had met, for the purpose of deciding a little bit of a difference between the two provinces. They began the attack as usual, with half gal. lon, quart and pint pots, when the Munster men, being the stronger party, soon got the better of Connaught, many of whose bravest sons bit the saw-dust ere the taproom was cleared; The uproar caused by such a method of settling their differences attracted a crowd of persona, amongst whom were several guardians of the night, who, in attempting to interfere, were attacked by the con tending parties, and beaten. They however succeeded in appre hending some of the rioters, and locked them up in the watchhouse. Yesterday morning Jerry Hurley, one of the most active fellows in the riot, was put to the bar, charged with inflicting a desperate wound upon the head of a man named Toomey, with a quart pot. The wounded man received so much injury in the conflict that he was unable to attend at the office, and a medical certificate was pro. duced which stated that he was in a dangerous way. Harley, the defendant, did not escape himself without reviving a desperate beating. On being put to the bar his appearance was frightful: the whole of his clothes were covered with blood, and his face cut and bruised in a terrible manner. He exhibited his left thumb, which was nearly severed from the hand by a blow of a quart pot. The Magistrate, ft remanding the defendant until Toomi was considered out of danger, directed the parish officers to station their men in the neighbourhood, end to apprehend all that were acting in breach of the peace. DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND SUICIDE. On Saturday morning last, the attention of the residents at the house, No. 23, Acorn-street, Bishopsgate-street, was attracted by repeated cries, proceeding from the apartments of a lodger on the premises, named Evans. At first imagining they might be caused by some domestic quarrelling between him and his wife, they de clined interfering; but the noises not dying away, but ceasing very suddenly, their alarm became excited, and several of them ran up stairs. When they had reached the door, they endeavoured to gain admittance, but without effect, owing to its being fastened on the inside. They, in consequence, peeped through the key-hole, and perceived a quantity of blood profusely scattered over the floor. If anything was wanting to add to their alarm this supplied it, and they, without hesitation, burst into the apartment. On entering it they found the unhappy man Evans stretched along a table, on which was placed a looking-glass, and a razor imbrued in blood, the presence of the former testifying a determination to succeed in his criminal attempt. There was a deep incision in his windpipe, from which, and the fleshy parts adjoining, the blood streamed rapidly. They immediately raised him, and having bandaged the wound, had him instantly conveyed to the London Hospital, where he now continues, with very precarious hopes of his recovery. On a further examination of the apartment they discovered the wretched man's wife lying on the bed, wounded and mangled in a most shocking manner. She was nearly exhausted from loss of blood, and in an almost lifeless state. The prompt attendance of a medical gentleman, and the application of the usual restoratives, reanimated her. She, however, as well as her husband remain in the most imminent danger, for it appears that Evans was a mar ried man, and had a family when he married his present victim, a very interesting young woman, and of a respectable family. About three months since, he learned that his first wife was still alive, and his mind in consequence became agitated, and he formed the hor rible determination of preventing its possibility of a prosecution by first murdering his second wife, and then terminating his own ex istence. These were the reasons given by the wretched man him self for his conduct. . _ A shocking accident took place on Friday night, at Mr. Williamson's brewery, in Lime-street, Hull. The drayman, Ralph Baron, having gone into the upper part of the premises, to right the pumps, a little after six o clock, when the major part of the workmen had left for the even ing, is supposed to have placed his foot on a loose flag, which canted with him, and be was precipitated into a large copper full of boiling liquor. He succeeded in getting out, and his screams alanned Mr. W. and some other persons near the spot, by whom he was found in a dreadful state. His clothes were cut off instantly, and Mr. Casson, the surgeon, was immediately sent for, who paid him the utmost attention, remaining with him the whole of the night; but after languishing in excruciating agony until six o'clock the following morning, the unfortunate man ex pired.-1101 Advertiser. FIRE Al' MESSRS. Huasr AND ROBINSON . S.—These magnificent and extensive premises, which open both into Pall-mall and IVaterloo-place, were, on Saturday noon, about one o'clock, discovered to be on Rre. It appears to hare originated from an immense stove or apparatus erected on the basement of the building, for the purpose of pre serving that part of the premises which is used as a ware house for books, from damp, and of heating the upper part of the house by flues, which communicated warm air into the different rooms. The volumes of smoke rising through the crevices of the floor and the apertures of flues immedi ately communicated the danger, which was promptly and fortunately arrested by the clerks and assistants of the esta blishment, by tearing up the flooring and extinguishing the fire with water. Had the fire continued unobserved ten minutes longer, the property of this room, worth be tween 20,0001. and 30,0001. must have been destroyed. RAW HIDES.
