M UR DE R. -, aged 28, was indicted fee having admi s arsenic and blue.etotie, with intent to follows :—I lived at Maesgwailed, June last, and have known the I have a female child by him, for the support of the child until When he refused to pay I went to me to swear the child, which I did. me until six weeks ago, when he • twelve o'clock at midnight. Re e me how the fifths girl anti I wanted at that hour? He answered that e out the bans that we might be mar mwilling if he told me the truth. I 'e went into my room and at upon prisoner took a cake out of his the little girl, but let nobody see his head, arid put it on the cup. et via or seven cherries wrapped in to the little girl, and let nobody and placed them on the cupboard m me the cake and cherries I asked ' me for keeping the girl ? Ile said night with the money, that the . following Sunday. He told me knocking on the next Friday night. I I rose next morning about Biter seven cherries and the cake; they were in out them overnight in the cupboard in my room except my child—no. I had received the cake and cher. there was somethirg white upon to one of them, and it tasted very .y —very bad indeed The white upon the cherries looked like flour. I then examined the cake—it was like Abutter cake ; sweet, and as large as the palm of my hand—it ap. peered as if it had been wet with something; I put my tongue to it as I did to the cherrise—l took a knife and pared off the top—it looked wet through t I put my tongue to the inside again, it tasted iaky. I did not examine the cake or cherries any more. I buried them in the mixen immediately. I did not give any to the child. On the following. Friday night the prisoner came to my house about eleven o'clock. I was in bed ; when he called me I got up, decried myself, and went out to him. He asked me immediately how the little girl was ? I told him she was very well. He asked me to go into the house. I refused to allow him to go in ; he said he would go in. I -opened the door and we went in. After prisoner and I went into the house, he said he would go to the village slid have the bans put up. I told him I was not unwilling if he told me the truth. After a little talk about marrying, I asked if be was fond or the little girl? He answered, yes. I said 1 thought he was not. lie asked what sign I saw of it ? I said that 1 bad sufficient sign. Prisoner again asked me what I had seen ? I said I would not tell it to any body. Ile pressed me to tell him what I hub seen ; I asked him what Le had put on the cake and cherries for the little girl? Ile asked me what I had seen on them ? I said I had not seen much upon them, but I never tasted any thing of such a taste. He answered, surely nobody has put sew thing upon the cake for me. I said there was something on them; I did not like to give them to the little girl, so I threw them away. He said, I will take my oath there was no more upon it tart is upon this cake which I have now in my hand. Prisoner Isel,a cake in his hand which he then pulled out of his pocket and busks me a piece off and told me to put it in my mouth. I took liand put it in my mouth, and spit it out very quietly ; 1 could a eat it. Ile said, do you take this, and eat it. lie was pre. tepding to at some before he gave it to me. I could not toll whether he ate it or not; lie then gave me the rest of the cake, and told me to eat it at that time; I said I will net have is ; he pressed me hard to take it. I took h and put it rein the box. He said, " Don't put it there, or the cat will get it t" I replied I would eat it presently. He said, " perhaps you will not rely upon it to eat It ; you see I have eaten a bit of it myself." He afterwards went away, having been with me half an hour. He said he would come to the house early from the village after he had put in the bans next day ; but he did not come. I left the cake in the box till morning, and then found it in the same place. No person had been in the room in the meantime. On examining the cake. there was something blue span it. Prisoner had broken it, and 1 observed something white in the middle of it. I did not eat any. There was nothing, except withinside, where he had pinched some of it off the surface before he gave it me. I saw him do aumething with the cake. but could not tell what. The cake had been broke as if by the hand. I saw nothing in the part where it was bitten. I locked it up. showed it to hir. Evans, doctor, at Llaniell .es, and left it with him. I am 25 years old, not married. 'Mr. Evans, surgeon and apothecary, of L lanidloes , was called, and stated that he saw the precetiffig witness in July last, and she hid • handkerehief with some abite bread. She bit it far my exa mination ; f found it contained sulphate of copper ; I believe there wee something else, but I cannot swear what. 1 am not a chymist. I showed it to Mr. Jervis, Of Llanidloes. I consider him the bat cbymist. Sulphate of copper appeared to have been inserted sub. quently to the cake being made. It appeared as if a loaf had been broken open and sulphate of copper put within side. I put the loaf up in the handkerchief again, and took it up, according to her re qdest, to the Magistrate's clerk, Mr. Edward Lewis. Mr. R. Jervis, surgeon, Llanidloes, recollects accompanying the last witness to Mr. Lewis's to examine some bread, and saw. Eli sabeth Darin there . I ob served' portions of sulphate of copper, and oleo the appearance of some other deleterious substances. I neat morning received some of the bread from 31r. D. Evans, and analysed it in his presessee, and in the presence of Mr. Owen, cur. getin. Sulphate of copper was apparent. I submitted it to several vets, and found that it contained white arsenic besides sulphate of copper. Sulphate of copper is a poison ; but its effects depend upon the quantity, and the state of the constitution. I am not po sitive that the quantity was miffitient to cause death. Mr. Blunt, ebymist, of Shrewsbury, examined.—l analysed and bread which I received from Mr. Davies, and found it con. tained sulphate of copper good white arsenic. I have reduced them to their metallic states. I do not suppose there was a considerable quantity in the bread. Elie. Owen, aunt to the ysong woman, and Wm. Williams, a tailor, cerffiboraied parts of die preceding evidence. This closed the case for the prosecution. On the part of the prisoner, several witnesses were called in sup. oil of his character. Mt. TZSIPI.E, on his behalf, made an ingenious address, in erhich he contended, that the care could Dot go to the Jury, because " the administering" of the alleged poison had not been proved agreeably to the letter of Lord billenough's Act, on which the bill wsa founded. The Jtmos, in reply. said, that if the Jury found • verdict of guilty, the case would stand over for the opinion of the twelve' Judges. His Lordship then recapitulated the evidence, which oc- 1 copied nearly two hours; and the Jury, after consulting upwards of half en hour, pronounced the verdict—Guilty. Alt. Justice Jrftvis earnestly addressed the prisoner (by a Welsh interpreter) saying, that the point noticed by his able Counsel should be referred to the consideration of the twelve u judget but he Implored the prisoner not to rely with strong hope upon their determination, as his Lordship was fearful it would not be in the prisoner's favour. Ile was afraid there was no hope fur the prisoner on this side the grave. Let him therefore make the bcst use of the time now allotted turn to make hie peace with his God, and to prepare for another world. At the conclusion of the sentence the prisoner was much at• rected.—The trial lasted nearly twelve hours. LAW INTELLIGENCE. __......—. COURT OF CHANCERY, 111oxn►r, AusysT 15. JACKSON V. BOWIIIIIO. Soon after his Lordship took his seat, be void that in this case he would frame his order to allow of a Manager being appointed, due regard beisg had to the rights and interests of the several parties concerned. The order he would make would also be to theeffect, that the Paddington railway should be brought across the present road, and preciously to making such order he would allow sufficient time Lr the parties to come to a settlement, should they be so dis posed. Mr. SUGDFN intimated that he thought there was ro prospect of any thing like a settlement. The LOAD CHANCELS-0k then said that be would make the order instanter. IN THE HATTER OP DODS, A BANKRUPT. Mr. ROSE, in this case, applied to supersede the commission, no the ground that, throughout a great part of the proceedings the name had been incorrectly spelled. The LORD Cwaggiebtoit acceded to the object of the applt., cation, eirecring that the Attorney through whose culpable negli gence the error bad beep committed should be held responsible for the costs. EXPARTE GRINSTEAD, IN THE HATTER OP HOWARD AND 011HI's nawaitugTcY. Mr. HART raid, that he had a short case to submit to the con. ; sideration of the Court. The question simply was, whether the estate WI. bankrupt, to the manifest injury of his creditors, were to I be wasted on fees to Counsel. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that no one at the bar would be found to object to fees to Counsel. H•ntr resumed.—!!is Lordship, he said, had been pleased to send to trial the question of the bankruptcy of the bankrupts ; in that cause his (Mr. Hart's) client failed. lie then applied for a new trial, and In that he failed also. The question which he had then to submit to the Court had been before the Master, when he was engaged in taxing the costs, in which taxation he (the Master) had the assistance of a common law officer, the Prothonotary. Even then the taxes were reduced from 7COI. to 1.21!., but it still was for the Court to determine whether the Master, aided by the Prothonotary, had exercised a sound discretion in allowing four Counsel their briefs and fees, amounting to 40W. There were the Attomey.General, Mr. Sergeant Wilde. and two others. He con. ceived that the expense incurred by briefs and the teeing of Coun sel should have some limit. The question which these Counsel had to argue was one which lay in a nutshell ; for it merely was. whether or not a certain book should be produced in evidence; tend yet, in bringing such a question before a Court, the expense of 4001. was incurred exclusively upon briefs and Counsel. He con. ceived that it would be perfectly fair to allow parties to employ as many Counsel as they pleased, or as the nature of their case might seem to their own minds to require; but the sum which adverse parties were to be compelled to pay for the Counsel opposed to them ought not to be regulated by the feelings of the opposite parties, but should be regulated by some established and uniform practice. The effect of this bankruptcy had been the ruin of the petitioner Mr. Grlmstead. lie. 11loartranu followed on the same side, contending that the question was not whether there should be five or six Counsel, but whether costs at Nisi Prius should be inflated to the extent that these had been. . Mr. Hoaxc appeared to oppose the application made on behalf of Mr. Orimstead, observing that his Learned Friend Mr. Hart , seemed to mistake the ground on which th►t taxation of costs had' been made. Mr. Grimstead had been beaten in the Vice-Chancel. , ion's Court ; he had been beaten at Common Law. In all he was unsuccessful. Mr. Hart was wrong in saying that there had been an order for the taxation of the costs. It had been settled that they should be left to Master Cox in the event of the parties haring any difference respecting than. When those costs went before him, he very properly took the assistance of the Pro. thonotary, and the costs were taxed accordingly ; and no obiection at the time was made to them, the money was paid instantly and ' without a question. He could not just then recollect the number, but he was sure there were several Counsel against them ; they therefore could not have less than four. The blaster and the corn. mon law officer had terminated the question ss It ought to have been, and he felt strongly that It should not again be opened before his Lordship. Mr. blow Tao° replied, that the object of their clients was not delay, for in paying the money they had a distinct understandiug I that they were to do so without prejudice. After Mr. TREALOTL bad been heard on the same side, Mr. HART replied. The Loan CHANCELLOR then said, that it being a question In which legal and equitable proceedings were mixed, the Master had very properly taken the assistance of the common law officer. The question raised by the petition was this, whether, in the par. titular case brought under his consideration, there ought or ought not to have been four Counsel allowed. With the information then before him, it was impossible for him to determine. He could not lay it down as a general rule, that in no ease were four Counsel to be employed. Possibly it might have been thought that the duties of the Attorney-General might have called him elsewhere, and that it would therefore be necessary to have associated with him suffi cient to supply his place ; though he did not admit this, yet before he would decide, he thought it right to inquire of the Master and the Prothonotary the grounds of their opinion. The case was then ordered to stand over to the next petition day. VICE-CHANCLELOR'S COURT, MONDAY, Aim. 11 THE NEW STAMP ACT. In the matter of a bankrupt peti ti on which had been heard before his Honour on a former day, and which contained nothing of im portance on its general merits, a question arose of some import ance regarding the construction of the Act of Parliament of the sth of his present Majesty, for repealing the stamp duties pre viously imposed on the various documents and records used in Counts of Lap and Equity. The present question arose from the circumstance of certain affidavits to prove debts having been en grossed upon unstamped paper, and having been rejected by the Commissioners, upon the ground that the late Act of Parliament repealing the stamp duties on law proceedings, did not extend to stamp duties on affidavits to be used before Commissioners of Bank ' rupts. The words of the Act of Parliament expressly exempted " all affidavits made for the purpose of bein g . tiled, read, or used, In any Court of Law or Equity is England. ' The SOLICITOR.GENERAL and Mr. ROSE contended, that although the Commissioners of Bankrupts were by courtesy called a Court, still they were not so by tight. The VICE.CHANCELLOR-1 think they certainly constitute a Court, although not a Court of Record, but still they are a Court. ...._____ Mr. Hoax believed that Lord Coke had decided them merely to constitute an association. The Vice-eitaxcEcton—Whether the words of this Act of Parliament be or not legally sufficient, there can be no doubt but that it was the intention of the Legislature to abolish the duty on these affidavits. A sort of desultory conversation here ensued, when The VICE-CHANCELLOR certainly thought that the Commis sioners of llankrupts constituted a Court of dew or Equity ; they had the powers of a Court, they disposed of property , and decided on people's rights, and if that did not constitute a Court, he did not know what did. Upon the other question, as to whether a duty was imposed by the old Act, he was clearly of opinion that such a duty was imposed, but he was also clearly of opinion that such duty had been repealed by the new Act. The same general words which stated the duty by the old Act were used is the exemption in the new Act, and therefore repealed the duty ; the Commis. 'turners, therefore, had acted wrong, in refusing to receive these affidavits which had been tendered to them in this cage. The Counsel against the opinion then wanted to go into the me. fits of the case. The VicE.Cessrcsta.on—Ccrtainly I cannot allow that these affidavits were rejected by the Commissioners on the ground of in. formality, and as the merits were not discussed before the Commis. sioners, therefore you must go back to them to discuss it. Mr. P , for the Commissioners, asked for the costs, but his Honour refused them. The prayer of the petition to have the affidavits received was granted. POWER V. PAINE AND 110PRINS. Mr. STEWART stated that Mr. Thomas Moore, the poet, had, iq the year MU, executed a deed, by which he agreed to assign to Mr. Power all songs, canaonettas. and other musteal pieces which he should write or compose in the space of seven years from that time, in consideration of an annuity of 500/. to be paid him by 31r. Power. lie now moved, or. the part of that gentleman, for an in junction to restrain Messrs. Paine and Hopkins, musicsellers, re siding In Corning, from continuing to sell three sacred songs, en. titled " The world is all a fleeting show ;" " Thou art, 0 God, the life and light ;" and •• The bird let loose in eastern skies." These thrftsongs were written by Mr. Moore, and set to music by Sir J. Stevenson, and of course were the property of Mr. Power. The defendants had, however, published them in the Rth and ilth numbers of a work entitled " The Edinburgh Sacred Harmony for the Use of Churches and Families." As the application was not opposed, the injunctiuu was granted upon the affidavit of Power, stating the above facts. Th; Court was occupied the remainder of the day with bankrupt, petitions of 110 intermt. QLLDITOXP r. DENTITH. This was an application inade by Air. H EALD and Mr. SPENCE to WI Honour the Vice-Chancellor, on behalf of Messrs. David Gladstone, David Paton, and James Wordley, merchants at Li. eerpool, formerly carrying un business in copartnership there with the defendant John ninth!), under the firm of " David Paton and Co." fur an Injunction to restrain the defendant from drawing, se eepting, or indorsing any bill or promissory note in the name of the said firm of D. Pawn and Co. It appeared, upon the affidavit of the plaintiffs, that they, about April, 11318, agreed 4e become copartners with the defendant, a rity t, of such j that a rtn had been leaned against him, bat via since suposeded, and that ha was then a prisoner for debt in the King's Bench. Notice was given to the defendant of theit application, but he did not Epps., and his Honour immediately granted the injunction in the taps Pmed• POLICE. • HAT TOX Omenrw, Alto. 113.—Jane Manly, a girl of thirtersi pars of age, was brought up in the custody of Lorimore, a con bbible of Camden-town. charged by Mr. Butler of Park-terrace; Camden-town, with hating stolen three silver spoons, his property.l Mr. Butler stated that the prisoner wan servant to a respeetabbs lady residing in his house. He s had on different occasions missed silver, which was taken front places to which the prisoner had no autbarised access and on Friday evening last, three silver spoons we missed by Mrs. Butler. The prisoner wan interrogated by /tbs. Butler, and she denied the charge with great effrontery. Lotion); e, the constable, was 'subsequently sent for, and through his exartiors the property was discovered to hive been pawned at Mr. Wadmore's 7 ottenham-court-road. • Mr. Wadmore's shoprnan identified the prisoner as the paw who pawned the spoons. The girl most impudently denied the charge. She was fay committed for trial. SCANDALOUS CONDUCT OF PAROCHIAL CONSTABLES. MART.LA-rONNZ 01,FICZ, AuGusT 15.—Jameslo/cofisi, one of the parish constables for the year, was brought before JOHN RAWLIXCON, Eeq. charged with having acted in concert with Henry . Field, another parochial constable, in destroying the peace, by 'pm gin of rattles on Sunday night at half-pest 11 o'clock. James VI lion, watchman, deposed that on Sunday night, about' half-past 11 o'clock, he heard the springing of rattles in George. street, Portman-squares he instantly repaired to the spot, and saw several persons springing rattles. Mr. Raw LAMSON—Pray, Mr. Hawkins, where is Field, who is charged with Malcolm ? Hawking—Wily, Sir, he is an officer as well as myself, and I let him go on his own responsibility. Mr. Rawcrwsow—Then, Sir, I fine you unless you produce him in a very short time. You had no business to let any person leave the watch-house after being charged without proper security being given Mr his appearance. Mr. Hawkins, the constable--1 am not a common constable, Sir, 1 receive no pay ; but I will go, as you ordered it. Mr. Barry, a gentleman residing in Gloucester-place, New-road, presented himself before the Magistrate, and assured him a more disgraceful and uncalled-for abuse by the guardians of the night he never before witnessed or heard of. Mr. Barry begged leave to say that the first time , that the prisoner Malcolm and the absent constable, Field, ware taken to the watch-house, the constable of the night (Hawkins) refused to take cognizance of the transaction, and they were discharged. The watchmen tell the watch-house and were assailed by the most gross expressions that could issue from the mouths of men, and booted at until they arrived in George-street. The prisoner Malcolm then drew out his staff of office, and de sired the sergeant of the night to attend to his duty, and dlsperse his watchmen to their respective duties. John Wilson being struck on his beat, witness immediately insisted upon him (Malcolm) being taken into custody. This was accordingly done, and as the watchmen were taking them, they struck a watchman with their staffs on the hands, but were ultimately conveyed to the watch house. On arriving there, Malcolm went to the drawer of a table where the constables usually sit, and took from the drawer a staff, with which he struck a watchman, named Cunnigham Ellis, a severe blow on the head. He was immediately carried to Middlesex Hos pital, where his wound was Instantly dressed. His head presented a most frightful appearance, being bound up with bandages. The Worthy Magistrate asked Mr. Malcolm his reasons for so conducting himself, and how he became possessed of the rattles ? He said, coming up• George-street he found a rattle in his pocket, and not knowing how it came there, he gave it two or three turns, but nothing more, and was dragged to the watch-house like a felon. He was ordered to find bail, himself in the sum of 100:. and two' sureties in SUI. each. Mr. Field then made his appearance and stated, that he never had a rattle in his possession ; the fault was all on the part of the watchmen. Mr. Rawsixsow—Your conduct is as scandalous as that of Malcolm's, and I shall require that you enter into the same -e -conizance as that of your compeer. Mr. flawtiesow—Pray, Sir, what is the reason you dare to let Field leave the watch-house without bail ? ilswkins—l thought I bad a right to do so, being constable of the night. Mr. Rawr.rwsox—You have acted improperly, and for you so neglecting the duty imposed on you, in not taking proper bail, and not entering it in the bail-book according to your positive orders, I shall fine you in the penalty of 201. and costs- Mr. Hawkins at first said he would appeal ; but,upon more ma ture consideration, paid the fine. RESUMED INQUEST ON DAWKINS, THE POLICE OFFICER. • Last night, at seven o'clock, an adjourned inquest was held at the Triumphant Chariot, Pembroke-mews, Grosvenor-place, before 3lr. linos, the Coroner, and • Jary, touching the death of Nicholas Dawkins, an offices , lately belonging to the Marlborough_ , street police establishment, whose death was caused by an injury he received while attending at a rout given by Lord G. H. Ca vendish, at Burlington House. Mr. S. Plank, the chief constable at Marlborough-street office, stated that the deceased was an officer In the same establishment. I On the night of the inld of May last he and the deceased were attending at Burlington House, and they remained there till' the morning of the 24th. Witness was placed at the hall door, and the deceased was stationed in the centre of the court-yard, to sae that the coachmen conducted themselves with propriety. A little after twelve o'clock at night witness was told that a man was run over, and his leg broken at the yard gate. Witness went to the gate, and saw the deceased lying on the pavement within the yard. Witness spoke to him, and he said his leg was broken. Lord Westmoreland watt standing by, and from the answer the ' deceased gave him, he apprehended a man next day. He was told by a Noble Lord who the person was. He subsequently apprehended him, 'and he admitted, when taken into custody, that his horses had knocked down a man in the court yard, but he was not aware he had broken his leg. Lord West moreland told witness it was Lady Lambert's coachman that had run over the officer. Witness apprehended the coachman, James Collins, at her Ladyship's stables, on a warrant, next day, when he voluntarily confessed, and said he was very sorry the man's leg was broken, and said he remembered the horses striking the man down; but did not know at the time that his leg was broken. _ _ _ _ Mr. Henry Jefferies, of Clarges.street, Piccadilly, surgeon, stated, that the deceased was under his care while in St. George's Hospital. He said he saw him daily for several weeks, and he was properly attended to. At the end of ten or twelve days he was seized with a severe attack of erysipelas, which ascended to the thigh. Several large abscesses formed, which were opened frcm time to time, and the discharge was very profuse, which exhausted the power of his constitution, and he sunk and died on Wednesday last. These symptoms were the common consequences of a broken leg, and he died In the common way, and witness is of opinion the deceased died of a broken leg. The bed clothes were changed as often as cotnpatible with his safety. Thomas Dawkins, brother to the deceased, visited his brother twice a day after the occurrence ; he was kept very clean ; he at tended almost every dressing of the deceased, which was every day. Witness had nothing further to say than to contradict the report that had been raised, that there were mushrooms gowing in the bed. He said the night before he died, " Tom, it's all dickey with me, lam going ; lam murdered I" He often said he had been run over by Lady Lambert's coachman, and the night prior to his dissolution he requested I would call early next morning. lie ex pressed himself perfectly satisfied with the treatment he had re ceived from Mr. Pittman, and by the attendants. lie never inti mated a wish to leave the hospital. The deceased said the coach. man flogged the horses over him, Mr. Jefferin, ate surgeon; !fagged to say that the decesigid wise In a very desponding way during die whole time lie was in the . hospital. James Porter, footman to Lord Westmoreland, was with his Lordship at Lord 0. H. Cavendish's residence, Burlington House, about half-past twelve o'clock as night; lie was walking across the court yard towards the gate next Piccadilly, when two carriages were endeavouring to come into the yard, the deceased, as an officer, desired the coachmen to hack their horses, and took bold of the horses-reins; the coaches were at this time jammed in the gate way, and all of a sudden one gave way, and the other passed on through the gates with great speed, the deceased, before he; could get away, was knocked down, and the off fore-wheel of the carriage went over his leg. Whitens ran to his assistance, and he com plained of great pain, and could not stand ; he did not know whose carriage it was that caused the accident ; but carriages were per mitted to enter theeourt-yard to take up the company, and great numbers were present. Samuel David Dance—ls porter to Lord G. H. Cavendish. Was at the Lodge gate between twelve and one o'clock in the morning of the 24th Alas , . Two carriages were abreast, and stopped up the gateway. Lord Westmoreland walked up, but could not get out, and his Lordship called for the Police Officer, desiring him to discharge his duty. The deceased accordingly went and ordered the coachmen back, and on one of the carriages rushing in, he heard that a man had been run over. The carria*es were very numerous, end there was great confusion. Mr. Henry Pittman, House Surgeon at St. George's Hospital, stated that the deceased was brought there on the 24th May, with a compound fracture on the right leg. He was treated in the usual manner, and he weal on very fkvourably till the 3d June, when erysipelas came on, which extended itself up the leg and thigh, and terminated in the form a ti o n o f a l arge a b scess . w hi c h was o p ene d, and the constant discharge therefrom greatly impaired the deceased's health, and from his continually lying in bed, a large sore formed itself on the lower part of his back. He expired on the It th inst. The erysipelas eornmenceel at the fracture, but the remote cause of his death was the broken leg.

The attendance of betting men was very full, but business was anything but brisk. At prevent the alterations are very trivial, but In a few days it is very probable that some of the favourites will change places. Memnon, for one, is expected to recede. Just be fore the close of the room some amusement was created by an alter. cation between that redoubtable pugilist and publican Uncle Ben, who had tackled a person in the yard for " fifty poond," which Ben declared the other owed him for a bet on the foot race between Wending and Beddoe. Payment was refused on the double ground of unfair play on Ben's part, and of not having made any bet ; we left the parties at issue upon this, Ben vowing that lie would stick to him till be was paid.

Yesterday being the day appointed for contesting for the third annual prize wherry, givrn by the ladies and gentlemen of the parishes of St. Clements Danes, St,, Mary-Is-Strand, and the ad jacent parishes, the River, as usual, was crowded by galleys, wherries, cutters, &c. Several bands of music were stationed on the river, which added greatly to the mirth of the lovers of aquatic !ports present on the occasion. At four o'clock the signal gun was fired, and in an instant the four following boats rowed off' to their stations a little below Waterloo-bridge : Isaac Wood and James Bryington (light blue). James Smart and James Parish (scarlet) • Thomas litre and John Daley (dark blue); Samuel Godfrey an d Sculthorpe (purple). About a quarter after four the gun fired, and light blue took the lead, followed by dark blue • scarlet followed, and was kept to work In fine style by light due, who maintained the lead with difficulty. Purple had no chance, and the boats kept their stations until rounding the boat off Hungerford. On coming down again dark blue and scarlet made the scene the most interesting; on passing Waterloo-bridge they were on a level, but light blue by strong efforts maintained their place, and reached the prize wherry about sir beats' length a head. Dark blue came in second, and scarlet third. ITCOND HEAT. The boats btu, scarcely been got on shore, when the signal was given for the boats appointed to contend for this heat, who were to row the same distance, •iz. from the bridge down through Blackfriars-bridge, up again to a boat moored off Hungerford. down again the same distance, and up to the prize-wherr off Strand-lane. The opponents were—Francis Godfrey and John Nlitchell (pink); Joseph Reston and John Williams ()ellow); Benjamin Little and Joseph Teesdale (pea-green); Richard God frey and James !Byers (orange). At starting pink took the lead, closely followed by yellow, who soon " picked them up," and passed a-haad. The, were, how ever, kept at work, and yellow found they had their labour cut out for them. This rare proved as tine a one as has been witnessed for some years. The changes were reciprocal. On coming up again, yellow, pea-green. and pink, were elms together; orange far behind. On going down, however, pink shot a-heed, again closely pressed yellow, who was as closely followed by pea-green. Yellow, however, contrived to maintain their ground, and the boats arrived in the following order:—yellow, pink, and pea green. THIRD AND GRAND BRAT. At seven o'clock the following boats were ordered off to the station, to row the distance beige named:— Frank Godfrey and John Mitchell (pink); Joseph Easton anti John Williams (yellow); Thomas Ries and John Daley (dark blue); Isaac Wood and James Bryington (light blue). I The hopes of the friends of the competitors were now raised to the greatest height, and betting became heavy, lease Wood and his partner being taken freely against the field at odds. When the' boats started, dark blue seemed to have the start ; but the go off was no go. as the boats were called back, and the umpires decreed that the men should again go to their moorings. At the second start, pink, dark blue, and light blue, were so even that it would be difficult to say which had best. Yellow, however, had the lead from the strong current, but the advantage was maintained but very shortly. Pink got the lead, and now every exertion was made on their parts to maintain it. On returning up the shore they were a-head about two or three boats' lengths, followed by yellow and dark blue. On passing Waterloo bridge light blue was close on the thwart of yellow, whom they caught on the quarter on rounding the boat off the Fox under the Hill, and these two boats became fixed for nearly a minute, while pink pursued their course with in creased alacrity, and finally came in a long distance r-head, fol lowed by light blue and dark blue, yellow having resigned the contest. The winners immediately tonic possession of the prize, amidst the loudest cheers of the surrounding spectators, who thronged every spot from which a view could be obtained. The friends of Easton and his partner were very strong in their ob tions against light blue, and no small sums have changed hands on the occasion. The winners were by no means supposed to have the superiority; and even in the going down a second time, odds were laid in favour of light blue, which were eagerly taken. The evening, however, was spent with the utmost harmony. CONFESSION OF HAAWAII READ, WHO WAS EXECUTED AT LEICESTER ON FRIDAY WEEK, FOR THE MURDER OF HER HUSBAND. Her husband had left her, she said, and was absent some time to evade the payment of a debt he had contracted in the purchase of a calf; it was during this interval that she became acquainted with Waterfield, who was little more than 19 years of age; his wife was confined in child bed, and she (prisoner) was called in to nurse her; she was safely delivered of a fine child, but both died shortly after wards, in consequence, it was supposed, of a wilful appli cation of damp linen by some one. She continued to co habit with Waterfield after this period, and he was the father of her last child. Her husband at length returned, having settled his affairs, and insisted that she should again live under his protection ; to this she was utterly averse, as she " Boated the ground that Waterfield walked upon." She left Sheepshead, however, with the deceased, and would have accomplished her object then, having planned it all the way, but had not an opportunity. On her return to Shearsby, the neighbours said, " Hannah, if you will not consent to live with your husband, and sleep with him to-night, we will douse you in the water." She replied, " she would rather have a naked sword run through her than consent to any such proposals." She next meditated within herself in what manner she should dispose of him— the following are her own words:—" On Monday (April 23), I sent one of the children to him with a message, that if he would accompany me in the afternoon to Fox ton, on a visit to my relations, I would live peaceably with him afterwards ; he came, and seemed quite overjoyed, saying, Hannah, 1 hope you will stick to your promise ;' lie then took the child, which I had by Waterfield, in his arms, and kissed it several times; matters being then amicably arranged we started—he carried the infant: on the road he repeated his observation, that he hoped I would not forget the promise;' I took him several times round the reservoir, eagerly watching a good opportunity to push him in, but there were too many people about, anti we made our way along the towing-path towards Foxton bridge, till we were entirely, as I considered, out of pub lic view ; as we passed tinder the bridge I said, Jem, you look such a figure in that smock-frock, if you don't pull it off I won't go any further; he then gave me the child, after kissing it again, anti took off his hat, which he placed on the ground, laying his stick near it ; he next proceeded to pull his frock over his head, and at that moment I plunged him headlong into the Navigation; he rose to the surface of the water three times, and came near the edge, but to prevent the possibility of his getting out, I jobbed him with the stick till he sunk to the bottom ; all this I did without feeling the slightest emotion. I then pro ' ceeded towards Gumley, where I crossed the Navigation again, but in the centre of the bridge I felt, for the first time, something check me, telling me that. I should he hanged; and a flame of fire at the same moment seemed gathering round my body ; the heat and pain I felt is in describable. Having recovered from this sensation, I prayed to God that I might never feel a conviction that I had done wrong. Waterfield, I declare, was wholly un conscious of my intentions, having, on the contrary, re peatedly wished me to leave him and live with my hus band, but to this I never would consent, anti threatened self-destruction if he persisted in our separation." RYE CORN-EXCHANGE, Mowriar, Avo. We had an extensive arrival last week of Oats, English and Irish, but the supply of all other Grain was moderate, and this morning the show of simples fresh from Kent, Essex, and Suffolk was short. Fine fresh English Wheat was scarce, and some sales I were effected at high prices than last Monday, but we had scarcely pay demand for the liberated foreign Wheats and no improvement is price can be stated. Barley was held at full as high prices without much being done in the article, as the uncertainty still ex ists whether or not the Ports will open. The beat samples of Oats were taken off slowly on much the same terms as last Monday, but the interior and Irish were 6d. to Is. per quarter cheaper. Beans were not so brisk sale to-day as last Monday, and the sir. rency was barely maintained. Pease of both sorts rather dears-. Rapeseed met(with buyers at quoted prices, and we have no term. tion to notice in prices of Linseed. WHEAT. wALr. Kent and Essex (red) 60s to GSa Essex flit to Its Do.

We continue to have great numbers of beasts sent to this market; but the quality, which as the season advances we expect to irn. prove, on the contrary comes to us more inferior; hence the best beef is quickly picked up at 53. and in some purchases, probaby, as high as ss. 2d. is given. The market is also full of 3lutton, but the buyers are quite equal to it, and the price is gone up 2d. generally for all sorts since Friday. The season being far advanced, there is a reduction in Lamb, and a very great heaviness prevails in that trade—Veal is also lower, and none but the very best resell st. ed.—Pork is without alteration.
