As 'tbe officer ass conducting him to the police office, declining to inform him of the charge 011 which he was apprehended, the Prisoner said, ": I suppose it's that Star business?" The Prisoner, in Ida defence, did not even deny the charge, but accused the Prosecuirix of having, before the Magi iiiii r, slated the an iiiii ut of her loses to be 401. and t►te officer haviug proposed to keep the Pronecutrix out of the way if be would pay Si. or even 3/. which lie declined to do.

The following is a brief ►istory of this ease : A person named Fellow, a printer by trade, who follows elan the busier'', of • commercial agent, became casually acquainted with the Prisoner at Rumford, in the course of the last summer, ■nd from what he then observed of him thought him an honest man. le the month of October last Felton was taking some refreshment in a public-house at Rattle-hridge, in company with t►e Prosecuirix, by whom be had been previously employed to pet/tare a house for her, but bad nut succeeded i■ finding one that met with her approbation, when the Prisoner, who, looking in at the will. dow as he was passing, hail recognised Felton, entered the room. In the course of conversation allusion being made to the iliffieu:ty of meeting wills • house to suit Mrs. Bolton, the Prisoner said he had one to lei, w►irls, be had am doubt, would shower her oislors. The party wens to view the house ie quseat ttttt and it was approved of, the real demanded be ' tog !41. per annum unfurnished. and 241. per annum. if fur ' waived At the request of the Prisoner the sum of It was paid se a deposit, but no security required, the Primmer geclaring he would forfeit 101. if the 'muse were not ready fur the (occupation of Mrs. Bolton by the 7th November. I i • few days afterwards the Prisoner called upon the Pr... eeruiriu. and said he wsa authorised by Mr. Felton to apply to her for any money he might want ; he added, that lie hail then immediate eireaaiiin fur a grille to pay for some cattle Ica the market, and be must be there by three o'clock, which was near the time. Ile at first useutioued 2!. as the sum lie omitted, but atteewarda said be must have 31. as it would save him about 10/. iii the market, besides the trouble of L ong home. The Prostentrix gave him three sovereigns; and anise was departing he jogged her elbow, and desired her not to mention that loam to tie.

Felton refused to take the bill and caused bins to be apprehended, previously offering, if the Prisoner would repay the 31., to forego the prosecution, which the latter refused to du, saying lie would e him d--d first." The Prisoner, in his defence, druied that he haul acted with any franduleet intention, and said the M. was advanced as some security foe the furniture in t►e house. 'flue Jury found bins Guilty. Sir. A•aatrs, who tried the Prisooer, said the prosecution was a very usual one, as the Prisoner was well known as a bad character, and uugbt to be removed. Ulmer Fletcher and John Crucklarie were indicted, the Ito mu r for stealtug,ftuol the latter for receiving, kuowing ;hem to have been sinless, bye pieces of timber, value lOL Cl.. property of Mr. Julio Bruckelbank, an extensive timber in, chaos! in Poplar. The Prisoner Fletcher hired a waterman on a Sunday reveille, whom he took to Mr. Bro-kelbaek'a wharf, and from thence towed the timber in question by the Regent's Canal, 111 the premises of the Prisoner Crucklarle, who is a lath render, at Beihnal.green.

'the interest .=egged tsar rendered the adjrnarriment frith the original place of •Ilmeetilne netessary, In order to afford accommodation to tub uwasierous friends. of•lbe deceased, who were Janitress of Wog preeemit, and Mr. Fountaio's ;reel-room was com pletely crowded. Some idea may be formed of the feeling 'hewn by Mr. Slade's neighbour's toward. his memory, when"' We .09litedhat 'veers, of them volunteered to Collect evidence on the Decision, and subscribed towards the expenses of ad !noising and issuaag hand-bills for briogiug forward those persons who knew most of the transaction. The first witnem etamined was a gentleman named T. R.' Este, mliling in Purtmailimeare, who stalest, that about *hoe o'clock ow Ilse 29th of November, as be was passim' slung the Edgeware-road, he saw two females, apparently women of the town, looking at some jewellery in a shop window; he had scarcely passed by when he again saw them running towards n 211;e-coach, the driver of which was on hie box, and invited them to get up and lake a ride, which they did. The man then drove away rapidly till be passed through the toll-gate, and then he drove still more furiously. In a fey, minutes he (witness) beard shrieks and ' , creaming, and, conceiving that au accident had hap• pawed ,Ise ran back, and the first person be net told him the stage bad overturned. Some little distance on be saw a crowd of twenty or thirty persons, amongst them he noticed one of the prostitutes that rude will, the driver; she was covered with mod, and appeared to be feinting, and he should conceive she moat have bees seriously injured. An. other woman came up, and was much disfigured, and seem ed also to he Isbouring tinder considerable agitation. A few yards on laid the deceased, covered with dirt and bleed ing. Witness asked hum if he was much 'Oared, and he then complained that his head and body had been much hurt. Witness and some other ;serious lifted him op, and carried him to a Gentleman's house adjoining. A surgeon was im mediately scut for, and a Gentleman, an assistant to Mr. Bryan, soon afterward. arrived, and dressed the d ed'e wounds. Witness, as sours as could, proceeded to the stage mash, and saw " Nutting.hill" on it, but before he could lake the name the coachman mounted the box and drove off. He could nut see the exact colour of the coach body. There were lamps along one side of the road, and witness is per fectly sore that if be was driving the coach be could have seen the dsceased's chaise. The coachman's language was very offensive, and he certainly considered his manner of driving to be very reprehensible; bet it was nothing more, speaking generally, their all the coachmen sou tbat road were in the daily habit of doing. A Jorynaso here suggested that Thomas Stratford, the person who was supposed to have driven the roach on the night of time accident, was in attendance to give evidence; but The Coroner declined calling him, lest be might be Crialli wiled, soli could not legally he exaosiued. Richard Sau riders, of the Edgeware-road, wheelwright, was alarmed by a nuise in the street, amid on going out saw a horse rush by, dragging the fragments of • chaise et its heels. The deceased was then lying against the railings, sod, in answer to witness's inquiries, hesaid lie was very much hurt, and that he feared his leg was broken. Ile said he was buckling the belly-band of his horse at the lime and that he called oat to the coachman to take care, but he paid no heed to the caution, but ran bum down. The stage was uoe of the Bayswater coaches, sod the man who drove it was not the regular driver; the women called him by the name of . 4 ' Tom," and witness is sure he should know him again. There was light enough for kis to see, and room to pass Mr. Made without touebiag either bins or his gig. Mr. Appleton (a Juror)--The road is 14 garde wide, and six carriages could easily pass abreast; on this necasion Mr. Slade's chaise and the stage were the 'only vehicles on the read. Charles R , a watchman, saw two women on the hoz; their names are Sarah Dixon, and —Carty. He had uo doubt but he could find them immediately. Coroner—Well, then, my chaise is down below, take that, and itting the ladies here at once. A summons was then granted against them, and the watch man departed to serve it. The witness Saunders re-esaminedt—Has been down stairs to see the persons now in waiting, and the mesa pointed ont to him by the name of Timms* Stratford, is the same whom he saw with the coach un the night of the accident. At the request of the Jury, Thomas Stratford was called, and being informed by the Coroner of the situation in which be stood, was asked if he bad any oblectiou to he sworn ? He replied in the negative. He then stated that he some times drove the coach from Notting.bill; he did not know who the owner of that coach area, bat the name upon it is " Samuel Kinney, of Kensington." Coroner—l am rather shy of caking you any further goes thine, nor tired you say any thing more unless you like. Stratford—l have nothing mule to say, Sir, only 1 was sot the cause of the accident. Coroner—Who was then Answer—Why, I don't know; it was miserably dark and fuggy lie then pro•eeded to state that he rave the two women,. ride, but the men who were with him ware pasvetigem However, he subsequently admitted that these persons also rode for nothisig, he having given them " a lift,' from the Bank, and he afterwards d. clvred that the women were pas sengers too, mid (eminently rude with him, although in the firm instance he waiii understood to say the contrary. He was •fterwarils asked who employed and paid him ? To the former he answered Mr. Kilmer, and with regard to the latter, be declared that he never received any wages at all. Mr. Jonathan Wood, landlord of the Star and Garter, i• the Edgeware-road, stated, that on the eveuiug in question, Thomas Stratford, and another coachman whose name lie believed to be Calvert, called at his boom ■ud bail some thing to drink ; they were then sober. Mr. Ruven , lli , who keep. the I'm'rehire Slings,, proved that on the night of the aerident, Stratford called at hat house; he then drove Kinuer's Nutting Hill coach, and he appeared sober. It was now announced that the officers who had been sent for the women had arrived with one of them. She was ac cordingly introduced and •worts. Her name she said was Carohue Jammu ; her resisirnee was in Limon-green; on the evening when Mr. Made was killed site was walking along the Etlgtowareottati, anti at the Star and Garter public.house saw the Ba”water roach, which Thoreau Stratford drove; she gut up without being asked by the driver—io fact, because she wattled to go to Bayswater as a passettger. Ots ■airs through the tollgate Stratfuid gut down to do some thing to the coach, giving her the reins, and tin his getting up again, witness accidentally dropped the reins, the horses plunged forward, and before the driver could get hold of them again the coach was upset, and he wa■ throa n off his box. There was a chaise, but wiluess did Out see it until abe was thrown off the coach. Cross-examined—She went home afterwards; lire only object its gulag to Bayswater was to see the place, having sever stets it before; site was to pity ■ shilling for her ride, and was satisfied to are the place by dark; she was quite sober, but braid au true cry Stup !" nor did she see any chaise or gig; never rode wills that coachman before, anti has not seen him since; if he had said she waa a regular passenger, sad often rode ou his coach, it would nut he trite; has known the man Iwo mouths; a female uawrd Sarah Dixon rode with tire. Mr. R. C.

Several committals have /liken place, but the gates of the prisons are scarcely closed on offenders when new offences are perpetrated. We look with sanguine hopes still to very be neficial effects from the Special Commission. Mr. Justice Moore and Mr. Baron liPClelland were expected to arrive in the city of Limerick last night, and this morning was fixell for opening their Commission. The Solicitor-General left Dublin •n Thursday, to conduct the prosecutions for the Crown, in which labour he will be assisted by Mr. Serjeant Joy, and also by Messrs. T. Llind, Sealy Townsend, K.C. and M. White. Mr. Bar rington, the Crown Solicitor, arrived in Limerick en Sunday last. Two men were committed to Limerick gaol on Tuesday. for plundering fire arms; and on the preceditig day ten persons were apprehended at Newcastle, and lodged in the city gaol, Limerick, e a charge of riot, and for having assimited Ca , theme Hassel, a Crown prosecutrix, ou her re turn frotu the last Assizes of Limerick, nod the police who were escorting her. All these persona will be tried at the ensuing Commission. A meeting of the gentlemen of Castle Connell was tilled for yesterday, for the purpose of forming so armed association in that district, where en in lammatory notice had been lately posted. Last week Mr. James Ryan, of Pallas Kenry, baring goue from thence to his farm at Court Brown, near Askeston, took up his lodgings for the night at a tenant's house, butt desired that it should lint be made known that he stopped there, as he was always in the lialait of returning home each day lie visited his farm. He retired to rest, and, about twelve o'clock, was dragged from his bed by the neck, and placed on his knees, by three men, who swore they would instantly shoot him unless lie gave them arms ; he declared he had none. Two muskets were then aimed at him, one at his back. the other at his breast, the muzzle of which touched his skin, and each moment he expected to be blown to stoma, when • third mail struck him violently over the left eye with a gun, which knorked him flat nu the ground. At this lime a person from the outside cried out. " Damn the rascal, finish him, and come away," upon which Mr. Ryan was ag a i n struck, end the three men left the room, firing one shot. After they departed, Mr. Ryan dressed him self, and having gone towards the outer door. found it open, without any appearance of violence ; upon which he concluded that the owner* must have had a participation in the outrage committed, when he left the place, and waded through the country till he reached the guard-house at Cristletowu, iu a bleed ing and mutilated condition. The house of Mr. William Orange, within a mile of Castle Connell, was attacked by a very large armed party, at night, about a week since, and a carbine taken from him. He had. previously received notice of * visit, awl, ass application to a Magistrate, two policemen were 'tattooed in his house, but unfortunately they were withdrawn the duty before the attack. lii our last we roeuti- that two men had been Itioned into custody near Charlrvine. We have since learned that an attempt was made to rescue them, in which one was so badly wounded that no hope of his recovery is entertained.—(Dub/ix Preto:rm.) The following has been received from a Gentle man in the neighbourhood of Hospital, in the county of Limerick :—"On Saturday night * notice was posted at P.strick's-well Chart, near Looghgur, in this county, signed Captaiu Rock," ordering ore tithes or taxes to be paid, • reduction of 60 per cent. on all rents. and directing the High Sheriff not to be so officious in taking down the Captain's order. Captain Gun, with twelve of the 9311 regiment, took pos.ess of a house directly opposite the chapel at ten o'clock on Saturday even• ing, and had not left it ten minutes w h en a man right well dressed, with new top boots, riding a grey horse, took • hammer from his pocket and nailed up the notice. The person who saw him has given information of the fact." Within the 1..• t week •n attack was made on the house of Thomas Crawl. of Baggotstown, who •t. tempted to make resistance, and was threatentd to have lite house burned ; and the villains actually •pplird tow on lire to the thatch, when he was obliged to give 5/. and promise another on their twat trait.

KILKENNY. DECtWIIER I I. Were we to credit but a few of the many prepos terous rumours which pervade our county, respect ing nocturnal meetings of armed prissuntry, Nod other formidable movements of organised banditri, in different quarters, we should not hesitate to ray that we stand this moment ou the verge of open re bellion ! Numerous parties, in uniform CIIIIIIIIIIP, and trained to march and move with military preci lion, ore said to perambulate nightly some of the most populous of our district., not even avoiding the villages on their route to some errata! point of rendezvous, which, however, rind tur obvious realities, our shrewd alarmists have not yet marked out with all imaginable distinctuers! Noy, insurgent bodies, fully arrayed, are said to loss through the rely Ittreets of this city, and to hold midnight counsei in the suburbs! These portentoes visions have in spired no alarm beyond that class of easy believers fur whose special service they were probably con jured up. We have listened to mail, an appalling story of approaching claugers from some prophetic matrons of our acquaintance; and it ceittenly needed all nor self-posamsion to guard against C4)11- tegiuus fear, thus height/rued by the " charmed" power of woriniu's eloqusuce. To speak seriously, however. on the subject of these culrohle li m s—w e caunot two strongly reprobate such heartless efforts to disturb our social rate. The present circumstauces of this county are by means calculated to excite 11 reasonable spprelitii. "ion of that *natured and systematic plan of acioo: indicated by these absurd reports; and, OlibullIg•I some recent manifestations of a law lea spirit some part of the county fully justify an unremiit,i observance of precautionary 'newtons, we 'trough. deprecate a vain alarm, as calculated only to ut_ : •. me n t the very evil against which it affects to pr., vale.

That it is false, however, we are happy to stute—false ni every particular, and we trust those whose duty it is will institute a rigid inquiry into the conduct sod motives of those who invented and circulated so barefaced and infamous a falsehood. The contradictiou of ibis scandalous fabrication is contained in two letter., the first received this morning at the Cork Post.oftce, and the other specially forwarded to our elves by the Postmaster of Doneraile, whose conduct, as a public officer, in thus court:nog and contradicting the unfounded statement* in circulation, is deserving of every praise.—(Southerm Reporter.)
