DESTRUCTIV.E FIRE AT STOCKPORT. (lit Saturday last, about three o'clock in the afternoon, the factory belonging to Mr. Hope, in the Cans. was completely de stroyed by fire, and of all the valuable machinery which it con tained not the least portion was rescued from the deetructive ele trent. The tire originated in the lowest room, occupied by Mr. Maritima, and was occasioned by the fricion of a part of the ma (Misery which had been allowed to work too long without a supply of oil ; and upon oil being applied to it in such a quantity at to compensate for its prerioue deficiency, it immediately ignited, and in a moment the whole interior of the room was in a lilac. No time was loot in giving the alarm, at least so it is stated to us ; but pone ithatanding this the warty/topic who were employed in the upper pats of the factory were entirely unacquiinted with their danger witil the thrnee were litetally bursting to upon them. This way be accounted for, perhaps, by the nature of the business carried ten in the build'iig, and the great quantity of raw canon which was contaiiied in the story immediately abcve the one in which the tire commenced; the extremely filthy state of the interior, which has long been proverbial, may have also assisted in increasing the rapidity of the confla gration. The building w . of the old construction, the stair rise being of wood. and so situated, that immediately after the tint alarm was given, the work people found it utterly impossible to effecftheir escape: for when those in the upper rooms attempted to make their way down stairs, they were driven back by the flame and smoke in which they were enveloped. The only way of escape I which was then presented to them, was through the windows; and teem these numbersprecipitated themselves, regardless of the pro noble injury they m ight receive in the fall, while others who had ' more presence of mind, hastily fastened the leathern strap of the pi:chi:wry to some secure place within the building, and throwing ' the end through the window, succeeded in landing safely on the ground. Several almost miraculous escapes thus effected have been narrated to us, some of them of so extraordinary a nature as to de serve recording. One young woman, who worked in the fourth story, was subject to frequent fainting fits, on the most trivial ex citement ; she heard the alarm of fire, and, almost at the same moment, was sensible that the flames had reached the floor imme diately beneath her. liar sensations at that moment were such as she usually experienced at the commencement of her fainting fits, and feeling that if she attempted to make her escape by the stairs she should not retain her self-poseemion sufficiently to allow of her reaching the door, she darted to die window, and with one sudden effort she precipttatcl herself to the grwunl, whence she was raised by the spectators. in a state of insensibility, but without haying sustained as other bodily injury than a slight wound on the back of ter had and the dislocation of an snide. A number id children were employed in the same room, who were deserted by Ali cagey:mg one individual who could assist them in making these escape, and he. wish a generous disregard for his own safety, un able to resist the distressing appeals made to him by the unfortunate children, set about providing for their extrication from danger, with such presence of Mind as could scarcely hate been expected from any one shore exietence depended upon the exertion of a moment ; he collected all the cleleit tn together, and dashing the window frame to pieces, assisted each of theni to descend to the grouud by means of a snap which he listened in the interior of the building. No sooner bad he completed this generous deed, and had just trusted himself to the same trail support, than the floor of the room gave way and the whole of its previous contents were added to the burning mass beneath. le the highest story of the building the situation of the workpeo. pie was vet more haurelous—at the first alarm they rushed in a body to the staircase, where their progress was soon arrested by the names, which were raging with ungovernable fury, and they were forced to return, without any prospect of escape. The overlooker, however, fortunately recollected that a communtestion had formerly resisted between the room in which they then pure and an adjoin ing factory, and setting himself to work he succeeded in opening a passage into it, through which every individual in the room es. cored safe and uninjured. Immediately after the alarm was given she engines mere on the spot : but notwithstar.ding that a plentiful supply of water was at hand, every exertion was unavail ing to stop the progress of the flames. So rapid, indeed, was the co:.nragretion, that in less than an hour the whole of the building was one re r uns of ruins, a part of the outside walls alone remaining. Saloum Leers were entertained for the safety of the adjoining fac tory, and, indeed, the llsmes had communicated to it ; but the ex ertions of the firemen were so well directed, that it suffered but let :ie injury. The building, we understand, was insured ; but as it was occupied by a number of small tenants, whose livelihood de pended e n tirely on the employment which a few machines afforded them, it is impossible to calculate the amount of the loss sustained. Many of them are utterly ruined by this misfortune ; whilst others who had taken care to insure their little property, will only suffer the iocoovenience arising from a cessation of their employment. Upwards of one hundred men, women, and children, have been deprived of the means of providing for their livelihood, and their disireesing situation demands for them the deepest sympathy of the public. Before re cenclude this article, we wish to impress upon the at teittott of all mill-owners, the necessity of sunplying their buildings with ladders, that in cm- of accideet may afford means of escape to the ntirrerous individuals whose lives are endangered by such an occurrence. Not a single ladder could be procured on this occasion: and al though the calamity has been providentially attended with no loss et lite, sufficient precaution can scarcely be exercised, especially in bulletin?" the construction of which renders them particularly liable to similar accidents. _ _ A subseription has been set on foot for the relief of the unfortu nate individuals who have been deprived of alt their worldly pos sessions by this calamitous .vent.—Stock-ort Advcrliem We understand that the gentleman who presented the birds to the Ashmolcan Museum was the Hon. and Rev.

SHANNON NAVIGATION.—The long talked of Shannon Navigation Company is at length formed and in activity. No measure that has been yet devised for the improvement of this part of Ireland is of greater importance than this ; or more likely, within a short period, to be eminently pro fitable to the uodertakers. The Shannon, though dividing the centre •of Ireland for a considerable portion of its length, and rendered navigable, at great expense, by the Irish Parliament, has hitherto been almost entirely useless for all purposes of conveyance or communication, owing to the great breadth of the river and the extent of the hikes through which the line of navigation passed, and where the barges were exposed, as in an open sea, to be delayed by con trary winds. It has always appeared to us very extraor dinary, that while steam-vessels were in every direction crossing the seas—while there was a strong competition of uteam conveyance in the principal ports of Ireland—so long a period should elapse before the powers of steam were ap plied to the navigation of the Shannon. It was neither a doubtful nor heavy undertaking. The intercourse between Dublin and Limerick would, alone, support a steam esta blishment on the river. not to speak of the whole interme diate line of country with its towns and villages, and with out taking into account what is now so well known, that a hicillty of conveyance creates intercourse. The projectors of the present Company deserve the thanks of the country ; and we have Ito doubt they will derive from the under taking all the profit they descry. No city required greaser exertions than Limerick to lift it out of its own littleams, and those contracted habits which incompassed it, like its ancient walls, mil almost as impregnable. We should hope that the projected swam communications, on Cie one side with Dublin and the Irish sea, on the other with Valentia and the Atlantic, will excite a new spirit of enter prise and improvement.—Limeri4 Observer. A painful occurrence between two brothers in this town (Shrewsbury) caused considerable sensation ou Tuesday night. Immediately after returning from the race on that evening, Mr. Jones, saddler, a respectable tradesman in Ma-dol, in this town, was attacked by his brother, who, it said, has been subject to fits of partial insanity. With out 0:e smallest provocation the younger brother seized one o. tl:e large circular knives used for cutting leather, and anted a blow at his brother's breast ; the latter warded it off with his arm, but the second blow took effect on his left ti,igh, where it made a frightful gash, half a foot in length, dividing the main artery, and Laying open the flesh to the very bone. The monster was not even content with this, but inflicted another severe wound on the right leg. Messrs. Clement and Griffiths were instantly on the spot, and tied up the artery ; and we are glad to hear there is a prospect of recovery. The ferocious young man, not withstanding he threatened to execute summary vengeance on the surgeons, and also to repeat theattack on his brother, sou allowed to go free till yesterday, when, we believe, he was apprehended.—Shrearritery AI:TLENt IN IVialrecaoss- TTT L T.—Aboat eleven o'clock on Saturday morning, the falling of two unfinished houses in Whitecross-street caused the greatest alarm (Imo ighout that neighbourhood. It being known that a great many men were, at work on the buildings, most exag gerated statements of the destruction occasione d amongst titers were quickly circulated ; but upon inquiry we find drat the personal injury sustained is much less than under the circumstances could have been expected, there. having been only one person seriously hurt ; he was a cementer, and occupied in the lower part of the building when the accident happened, and was buried in the ruins. The cries of the poor fellow, as the fatting materials were seen ovulating over him, were truly distresaing. Being after visits dug out of the ruins, he was conveyed to' St. Bar tbolomen's Hospital, where it was ascertained that his hip wasdislecated. 'Cho other men„ who were at tedek on the top of the building, escaped with some slight contusions. OLD DAILBY, SATualui,Sies.9ll.. CHARGE OF 1,113V4,- . _ _ hIVG V. TAYLOR. This was an indictment against the defendant James Taylot, for a libel, raft-xting on the character of John Lacey Hawkins, one of She Lord Mayoe's City All ardialmen, who, it Repeated, wee attend ing his duty with thebuird 3layar. on sae letti June hoe, when the4oundatioe a:7 ne of the New London Bridge was laid by his Lordship, in the presence of a tarp assemblage of spectators. The Idle' complained of was published in the Tinits newspaper °Odle flith June; it was addressed to the Editor, and its contents pur ported to charge the City elarshabvian (Hawkins) with using ex treme violence ir, the assembled crowd, and striking male mat fe male without occesinn with his staff, &c. aiding whom was the com plainant (how defendant.) Mr. John Ferriday being called and swum, stated, that he su perintends the prititing department of the rimer newspaper. The paragraph, now the subject under consideration, he received through the Editor; it was in writ lug, and afterwards it was printed. W 11.• US% come time after the publication, flaw the defentant, but' VW not show him the manuectipt or the newspaper, but spoke to him on the subject ; he did not read it to him. Here the witness produced the maptiecript copy, which, however, was not read in Coun. Never saw the defendant write ; he had not seen the letter bettire he received it from the Editor; sow Mr. Taylor at the office after the publication of the paragraph. Tie net o oZR here addreseed the Jury, and said that there was no doubt this was a most scandalous libel on the City M arehalman, in accusing hint of being drunk and unfit for his duty ; also with using violence without any oecasioe. However, there was no proof who the author was, and of course the defendant was entitled to an acquittal. The Jury instantly pronounced the defendant—Not Fre.l.-rick Wilson, a prisoner who was tried and acquitted a few days since 011 a charge of forging the name of an acceptor to certain bills of exchange, was brought to the bar to answer to an Indict ment preferred against him by another individual, few having de frauded the prosecutor, by means of &Ise pretences and Sid:lTe -1 presentations, of two promissory notes, amounting in value to se ven hot:deed pounds. Mr. LAW, 011 behalf of the prosecution, stated, that the prow cuter, Robert Coles, warn cabinet-maker, residing at Southamp• ton, and seeing, sonic time since, an advertisement in ri newspaper, in which it was stated that the advertiser, a person of the name of Coster, was ready to advance money to the aatount of 17,0001. upon mortgage, he wrote up to Custer, requesting an advance of money. In answer to this request, he received a printed letter, in which ft was stated that the sum of 17,00 W. mentioned In the ad vertisement, had already been enhausted s but that the writer was willing to cash Colee acceptances if they were sent to him.— Coles, not wishing at that time to have any thing to do with ac ceptsnete, took no notice of this communication. In about a week afterwards, Coles received a letter in the hand writing of the prisoner, sign.d with the name of " J. Cooper," in which the writer said he understood Coles wanted an advance of money, and as he (the writer of the letter) had en unlimited discount at a Scotch Batik, he would discount Coles's bill as promisserynotes. et the interest of N. p er cen t., anti 2e, ties. per cent. commission. As Coles then happened to be much in want of money, lie entered into a negotiation with the prisoner, in a letter, and shortly aflerwe.rde sent up a second letter, enclosing a promisory note for 3511/., which he wished to get discounted. In answer to this second letter, he received a communication from the prisoner, in which it was stated that the note alteedy sent up was of no use, in consequence of a mistake in the drawing of it, Coles was therefore requested to send up a second, accetding to a form sent down to him by the prisoner. Coles sent up the required note, and !rum that time to the present moment he had never received a single farthing for either one of the notes. Not long after, Coles received an anonymous letter, in coneequence of which he came up to London, adopted measures I against the prisoner, and having searched the prisoner's apartments at two different places, he found one of the two promisory notes that had been sent up by him from Southampton. The prisoner, in his communication with Coles, had employed the name of J. Cooper ; he now pleaded by the name to!' Wilson, and it would be proved that he had gone not only by both these names, but also by a third, namely, that of Ogilvy : it would also be proved that at the very time when he thus spoke of himself as having unlimited dls count at a Scotch Bank, he was, in fact, in very poor circumstances, living on a salary paid him by Coster. In his possession were found together with the note already mentioned, a memorandum, which stated, that he had given bills and notes to a large amount, there enumerated, to Cotter. In this list were two rotes sent up by the prosecutor; and, as a sort of confirmation of this list, it was found that only one of these notice remained in the possession of the pri. loner, and even that was endorsed with the name of Cooper. At the bottom of the list•was this memorandum, which the prisoner had drawn up in his own hand-writing, for another person to sign I have received the above bills from Frederick %Filson, for which I have given SW, on account ; and on an express under standing that he is to receive one-tourth of what may be recovered 1 under them." Such were the circumstances under which the pd. 1 potter now appeared at the bar, and he (11r. Law) was sure, that if he could make in evidence the circumstances as he had stated them, the Jury would feel no hesitation in giving a verdict that would have some influence in stopping a system of fraud like that which he bad described, and which was equally dangerous and extensive. The Leart-d Gentles an called a great many witnesses, and read several letters in support of his statement. Mr. Abotroms, who appeared for the prisoner, argued at con siderable length, that the evidence did not, by any means, prove the offence charged by the indictment against the prisoner. The indictment charged that the notes were of value, which had not been proved ; and that the prisoner had obtained them with intent to defteud the prosecutor. Now the intent was to be manifested by some act ; and in such a case as this, the act to prove the frau dulent intention would be that of putting the notes into circulation. lie had not done that : the notes had not been, and could not he used ; they were good for nothing, and no person, et all acquainted with business, would have advanced 350 pence, much more 3341!. on them. In fact, they were merely waste paper; and the charge, as it was now brought, was little better thee ridiculous in evtry thing but the punishment which it attempted to entail upon the prisoner. ~-------- fhe RECORDER summed up. the case, and the Jury immedi. ately returned a verdict of Guilty. The Recorder then ordered him to be brought up for judgment directly, and animadverted in terms of great severity on the crime of which the prisoner had been guilty ; a crime in which, he said, many men without a shil. ling in their pockets, or r. spark of honesty in their minds, were probably now engaged, and which always produced the greatest misery, if not total ruin to their dupes. Of one of such men the country would be rid. The Jury had on the clearest evidence con victed :dm, and the sentence of the Court was, that he should he transported for *even years. As this was the last cue on the list, the Recorder expressed his satisfaction in being able to say that the attendance of the Jurors would be no longer required during the present Session. He then thanked them for the patient attention which they had given lq this case, and informed them they were discharged. The hus:neas of the Scutari& having terminated, the Recorder proceeded to pass sentence on the prisoners convicted, when R. fetch, S. Woodward, I'. Baker, Henry White, W. Dobson, J. Sullivan. B.

Rippen, i on _ John Greener, and John Clark, for burglary ; John Ryder, for highway robbery, and John May, fur horse-stealing. The RICORDER the proceeded to address the prisoners. He stated that all of than had been tried by a British Jury, and he could safely say, by experience, that there was no more anxious milli entertained by them, than to be aide to say, conselen. timely, that the charges made against the unforttunate persons brought before them was not inside out to their satisfaction. It was a lamentable thing to see so many persons in the prints of life mantling in such a situation. Ile implored them by repentance and prayer to endeavour to obtain that mercy In the next world which the law deniad them in this. He concluded by passing sentence en them in the initial manner. The Recorder shed tears repeatedly during the delivery of the abovu address.

Robert Marston and James Mew, two officers belonging to the eetabibiluttent cf.the Thames Pobee, seeit , g the accident, aueceed:rd iu gettlng up in ewe ..to save the watvrin , to's hoe, and haul i: oz shore. the last year. life-time of hh father allowance of X. per s of the same nature of Ste Thomas and with the clothes in B!te_n a debt of 100 guineas for clothes,. It appeared that the insolvent, dui. and °tether, was supplied with the Iles. annum but the tailors' I iila , and other were regularly paid by them. After the d his batty, tho tailors supplied the insol question, but their charges were very er mid a half were charged for a coat ; four tan.— hunting jacket ; three guiueas and a half, and tout b—_ pair of trousers. The insolvent's Counsel observed, that though the opposing creditors might on this occasion lose their bill, still the GROISIVe charges were to be takes into temehleration : 74 guineas fir a coat was extravagant compared with the regular charge ofd guineas that was made for that garment by tailor% in general ; it was also to be recollected that this gentleman had been a castotuer of Messrs. Batty and Finley for a number of years. He was * young-man, and did not take into censkleration the excessive charge. and Sw Thomas Bell and Ids lady paid those bills. The loss of this 100 guineas was7paratively nothing. The Cni Coaranastogsg said, that whenlcomplainte of this descrip on were made by swat tradesmen as the cT mating ere. ditors, the Court received them as persons who were not competent to complain of their customers. When tradesmen are dealing with young men, and give them credit to a great amount, and trust to the feelings of their parents to pay the demand, he, for one, set his face against such demand. It was not, however, to go forth to the world, that if a person ltke the insolvent, beyond the heyday of youth, obtain goods. although from a west end of the town tailor, end at excessive prices, lie was to say to the tradesmen, you have imprudently named me, and you shall not be paid. In this case the goods had been obtained at an extravagant price, and such extravagant charges emoted to have beets paid for some time; the loss was therefor e v e ry tMing. The insolvent was not an inexpe rienced youth, he was 34 years of age, and well knew he was un able to pay the demand. The judgment of the Court therefore Simi, that ho should be conllned sm months whine the walls of the prison. - TOL/CR. Maxstow-nottee, Stew. 24.--deers Melvin, a well-dressed woman of the town, was charged by a Mr. Harris, of Nightingale• lane, with having cornmi:tett ap assault upon him on the preceding night, otter twelve o'clock. Mr. Harris stated; that as he was passing along near the East India House. the prlikiner started from behind one of the columns, and struck him a most violeutblote on the chest, at the same time the two other girls took Aoki of his hands. He struggled, and called the watch, and succeeded in getting away. The defeudant was taken into custody. Mr. Barns had, he said, to regret the loss of a paper from his pocket of considerable consequence. It was nothing less than a requisition from a large body of treehoiders, to it gentleman, inviting him to stand as a Candidate for the repre sentation of a borough in Parliament, and as the signatures were genuine, and not copied, it would be matter of some difficulty to Peptic the lois. The Loan /ilaxon said, he understood front the Police, that seine women of the town were in the habit of assaulting men in the manner described, for the purpose of robbing them. On such oc• cations, one of the women struck a most violent and sudden blow, and disappeared, while others of them ran tip on pretence of ren dering assistance, and while the person attacked was writhing with ruin, contrived to pick his pockes. His Lordship ordered the defendant to find bail, default of which she was committed to prison. A person of respectable appearance was charged with haring committed an indecent assault upon a young man, in Lombard_ street. in the middle of the day, and ordered to find bail in the sum of VOL to answer the complaint at the Sessions. BOW -STREET, SEPT. 24.—Major Belcr ' alias De Clifford, was examined for the third time. before G. H. 3ltssutn.t., Esq. on a charge of forgery. The following new evidence was then pro duced : Joseph Green, the supposed drawer of the check on which the information was touoded, was called. Mr. HI/ aiPHREYS, who appeared for the prisoner, objected that his evidence could not be received, because it would not be admit'. Bible at the trial, from his being an intnested witness. Mr. FngsurlELD. the solicitor for the prosecution, submitted, that as this evidence had been admitted in the case of Dr. Dodd and Mr. Fauntleroy, there could be no reason to refuse to adopt those preceelen . s in the present case. Mr. H. said. ho was perfectly aware of those two instances. but as a manifest Incorrectness had taken place, he hoped the worthy Magistrate would not allow them to guide him here. Mr. 1111NSIll:LI. said, he should not admit Mr. J. Green as a witness, because his being an interested witness would prevent his admission at the time of the trial. George Downe was then called—l am the principal waiter at the Colonnade Hotel, in Charles.street„ St. James's-square. I have seen the prisoner come there in company with a young man, named Peckham. There was a short young man with him on one occa sion, whose name I do nog know" he was not the witness John. son, who has been shown to me. The prisoner then passed by the name of De Clifford ; there was present on that occasion a young man about fourteen or fifteen years of age; I don't think it was the witness Johnson This being all the evidence with whi..h the prosecutors were pre pared, the whole of the evidence already produced was read over to the respective witnesses. Mr. HUMPHREYS submitted that there was no evidence con. firmatory of the witness Johnson, who was an accomplice. He, therefore, thought that the Magistrate would not commit on these proofs. Mr. FatsarlEcn submitted, on the other hand, Mat the evi. dcnce of the other witnesses had materially confirmed the statement of the accomplice. Itlr. MINSHULL said, he should certainly commit on this evi. dence, but he was in doubt whether to commit immediately, or defer it till another day. Mr. H uterus eve said, that the most convenient course under all circumstances was, that the prisoner should be brought up az;ain for re-examination. Mr. Absent: Lt. then agreed to the proposition of Mr. num pimp, and die prisoner was removed from the bur. NOVEL STRATAGEM TO COMMIT HIGHWAY ROBBERY. AT TON•OAR DE Y, SEPT. 21—Junin Slipper, a oung man about twenty years of age, was brought before A. S. Laing, Esq. in the custody of Avery and Thompson, of the Bow-street patrol, upon the following ►ingular charge. Avery (a conductor of patrol) stated, in consequence of numerous depredations and robberies lately committed in the neighbourhood of the New-road, the patrol were compelled to be extremely vigi hnt. On Friday night as he and Thompson wt.e going down Church-late (oW the New.road) in quest of some suspicious cha. racier', he (Avery) stumbled against a bundle which lay In the centre of the way, the night being very dark, and the way not lighted. On stooping to take up the parcel to ascertain the nature of its contents, to his amazement a string was pulled across his legs, by which he was tripped up and pitched on his head. Thompson, who was close by his side, observed the prisoner run down a lane which crossed this road. lie pursued him, and succeeded in cap turing him, tinding a part of the string in bin band. The bundle and string were produced before the Magistrate. The .mundle was made up of rags ; the string was a thin whip-cord. Thompson explained the mechanism of this contrivance. At the intersection of the two lines, one end of the cord was fastened at one side of the cross-rand, to a kind of stake, and the bundle was placed in the 'middle dr the way ; a circle was made round it with the curd, ripel the other end was held at the other aide of the crossroad, by the prisoner thefrinre, when Avery stooped to take the parcel (being thou within the circle made), on the cord being pulled by the prisoner, a noose was formed round Avery's legs, and it was impossible for him to escape being tripped up. Thompson said that this was among the modern inventions to assist a single highwayman, who mighteind some difficulty in knocking a men down, and that robberies Viva been lately ellected in this manner. The prisoner denied his having any felonious Intentions; however, he could not girl a satisfactory account of himself, km was ordered to find bail.

CoNANT expressed himself greatly offended at the observ ation. • Mr. Harnett apologised for the warmth of his language ; but to be in any war associated with such an abominable transatctioa wap enough to make a man feel warmly ; but ?is object in seeing the letter was to compare it with some anonymous letters which he had received from a person whom he tuuraefore alluded to. Mr. CONANT handed the letter to Mr. Harnett, who Instantly said that he believed he could produce letters of the same hand. writing. Mr. Roe—Pray, Sir, who are you? (Addressing himself to Mr. Harnett.) Mr. Harnett—l am James Harnett, an attorney, of 29, North unberland-street, Strand. Mr. ROE—Perhaps you will have no objection to write on paper s copy of the two or three Stu IMes of the letter Mr. Harnett said, certainly not; and ins:antly wrote several lines, which, on being compared with the original letter, were found to be very dissimilar. Mr. Harnett observed to Mr. Row, while he was comparing the hand-writing," I see, Sir, the motive you had in view in asking me to write ; I despise the insinuation it conveys-1 feel very much obliged to you." The Magistrate denied that he had lusinuated anything at all injurious to the character of Mr. Harnett. Mr. CONANT said, he would be greatly obliged to Mr. Harnett if he would would call upon him with the anonymous letters which he stated he had by him, and which he believed had been written by the same person who wrote the letter In question. Mr. Harnett promised to call on an early day. 11r. ROE referred to the London Diretory, and found there was a Mr. Joseph Evans, a master tailor, resichn at 25, Northumber land -street. Strand. Mr. Harnett said, that he had a neighbour of that name, whom be was not on terms of intimacy with, but, from his known re spectability, he did not believe lie could be the author of the letter to Mr. Spllebury. lie would, however, take the trouble to go to him instantly with a friend, and make an inquiry upon the subject. ' In about an ,hour afterwards Mt. Joseph Evans, a man of very respectable appearance, with his hair powdered, came into the office with Mr. Harnett and two other gentlemen. Mr. Evans said that he never heard of the letter till Arr. Harnmt called upon him with the newspaper, and, as be was the only Joseph Evans in that street, he was tearful his friends might suppomithat he was the writer, anti that tho No. 29 was merely an error in the printing. He was anxious to express his abhorrence of the production, which was the fabrication of some wicked person. Mr. Evans, at the Magistrate's request, wrote his come and ad dress on a sheet of paper, but the writing did not at all resemble that of the alleged fabrication. The Magistrates expressed themselves perfectly satisfied with the statements of the parties, and after Mr. Harnett had made some private communication relative to the adoption of some means for the detection of the writer of the letter, this mysterious &Ili& terminated. Plank, the officer, was ordered to keep possession of the letter. Lane, the evidence against Muirhead, will remain in custody till the trial comes on at the Westminster Sessions. ' CHARGE OF SOIRDER. LAMBETII-STRiiT,tIEPTE3IIIER 2i—;1I1 the avenues lead ing to this office were densely crowded by persons waiting the result of the examination of a man named James Ranken, late a labourer In the East India Docks. who was brought up from White chapel watchhouee, whither he had been conveyed en the previous morning, charged with the murder of Mary Ann Hunt, his fellow lodger. The countenance of the unfortunate prisoner (who is a young man in the prime of life), on being placed at the bar, as. sumed a deadly paleness, and the cold perspiration, which oozed at every pore, clearly evinced the deep sense of the awful situation In which ungovernable passion had placed hint. Tho examination was a short one. The Magistrate (Mr. IVTATT) not thinking it necessary for the present to go into minute details, The only witnesses produced were a lodger in tho apartment of the deceased and a daughter of the deceased. Their evidence went to prove some previous quarrelling, and the prisoner having hit the deceased a bloW with the head-board of his bed, which terminated her existence. The evidence being considered sufficient for the present to authorise the prisoner's detention until the result of the Coroner's inquest, which is to be holden on the body, is known, he was de tained accordingly, with orders for his being brought up on Tues day next for tUrther examination. CORONER'S INQ UEST. THE ALLEGED MURDER IN THITEcIIAPEL. On Saturday evening an inquisition was taken at the Committee. room of Whitechapel Workhouse, before J. W. Cowin, Esq. the Coroner, and a respectable Jury, orr the body of Mrs. Mary Ann Hunt, wife to a dealer in curiosities, said to have been mur dered by a man named Hachen, who is now in custody on that charge. By the evidence of Eleanor hunt, the daughter of the deceased, it appeared that on Thursday night last, the deceased had been drinking a good deal of gin, and Atter having been several times in her room, in which the witness and the prisoner were sleeping in different beds, she returned home finally about three in the morn. ing, and began to abuse the witness for not having a light, saying, that in consequence of its absence she had gone to the priviner's bed in mistake. Witness rose up in her bed, and called to the pri soner to hand her a candle which was near him. lie complained of being disturbed, and a quarrel commenced between then. Some very abusive language passed. and the deceased called him a " dirty thief." The pt.:loner said that if she made use of that expression again he would make " her mouth dirty." Deceased repeated the words, and the prisoner jumped up, and a scuttle ensued. Witness heard a heavy blow given, and the deceased fell along the bed. Not hearing her say any thing witness got up and found her lying on the ground quite lifeless. Witness then accused ' the pritioner, of murdering her mother, upon which,he said he had only given her a few slight blows, which could not injure her. On examining the deceased, witness found a wound on her forehead, and some blood on her head. The prisoner was about to leave the room, when witness told him not to attempt it, as she intended giving him in charge for the murder. lie replied, that he was not going to run away. 41 young man who lodged overhead came down stairs, and on entering the room, said that deceased was dead. As he was going to the wetchhouse the prisoner said that he would himaellgo there, and submit to the laws of his country for the murder of the deceased. The deceased was 33 years of age. She and her husband did not live together. Mary 51 6 31u11en, a married woman, lodging In the same room, contirnied the testimony of the former witness, as to the drunken and abusive conduct of the deceased. Previous to the fatal quarrel the prisoner was on friendly terms with the deceased. A Surgeon proved that the wounds on the corpse were the cause of her death. The Coroner recapitulated the evidence, and observed, that the only verdict, in his opinion, they could return, was that of Man. slaughter, as the principal feature, viz. wirtlice prepense, was wanting to enable them to make it Wilful Murder. The Jury having hesitated for a length of time, it was then put to the vote, upon which there appeared, for a verdict of Man slaughter 8, and 5. for Wilful Murder. After some opposition, however, they all, with the exception of one, Mr. Gibson, con sented to sign the verdict; and he, on being informed that the pri. sower would be arraigned oh the capital charge, complied also. A verdict of Marulouriter was accordingly recorded. A cansttSo Frit E.—About four o'clock yesterday morn ing a tire of a most alarming nature broke out in the large drug-' mills and roekAalt warehouses of 111 r. Andrews, In • Lamb-alley, Sun -street, Bishopsgate-street • and front the quality of the pro perty on the premises, and ;he density of the buildings imme diatelr behind Mr, Andrews's warehouses, nothing short of the total destruction of the whole neighbourhood wu anticipated. It would appear that the tire broke out in the beet part of Mr. An drews's premises, where the drug-mills and steam engines were situate, and this part of the buildings burnt with a fury that defied the cautions of the fire-men and engines, aided by a plentiful supply of water, as it was found impossible, from the closeness of the adjoining houses for some distance from the seat of the fire, to get engines c close to the rear of the premises as would be desi rable. In a short time the whole of the drug-mills, steam-engines, and apparatus fell in with a tremendous crash, to the imminent danger of a large timber yard immediately adjoining, belonging to 31a. Bateman, the timber merchant, in Sun-street. It is but jus tice to the firemen to say that their great exertions saved Mr. Bate man's yard and premises from total destruction. Great damage was done to the other part of Mr. Andrews's warehouses, and the whole amount pf property destroyed must bo very great. We learnt that Mr. Andrews was insured' in the Merits, Atlas, and Protector assurances offices, but we fear not to the amount of his loss. We are happy to say that no serious accident happened to any person engaged on this occasion. A dreadful accident happened to Mr. Benjamin Critchett, of Easinehall-street, on Friday night, in consequence of being thrown oil his horse. The road between the Elephant and Castle and the Walworth turnpike.gate is at present undergoing some re. pairs, and workmen ate employed in excavating the centre part of it, tor the purpose of making a pewee. Sinai) the commencement of the work wooden bars have been erected at each end, in coder to prevent the passage of horses until it is completed. Mr. Critcbett having been some theistic° in the country, ins returning to town on Fridny night last, between eleven and twelve o'clock, on horse back, when on his arrival at the bar, not knowing the state in which the road was, his horse stumbled, and the unfortunate gentleman was thrown headlong into the sewer, and received the most dreadful injuries. His head, coming itt contact with the iron pipe, was fractured, and one of his legs broken. No persons wit mend the accident, but soon afterwards an individual, hearing the groans of the unfortunate gentleman, ran to his assistance. H e I was taken up completely insensible and carried to Guy's Hospital, where his wounds were dressed and every attention paid to him. :The following morning, oo inquiry at the hoossppital, but slight hop* was entertained of sewing hie n: We ntrtkntand that at the time the accident occurred .there wars no lantana or light of .any description placed seinst the temporary bsrai MARRIED.

The following are further particulars relative to the shocking deed lately committed at Rochester:— Sunday afternoon, the following tragic event took place, in the family of Mr. Seaton, surgeon, on St. Margaret's Bank. Mr. and Mrs. Seaton were at church at the time, and the apprentice, a servant girl, and two of the children, remained at home. The servant ? who was upstairs with the youngest child dressing herself, heating a shriek rail down to ascertain the cause, and met the • little girl, about six years of age, with a stream of blood issuing from her throat. Notwithstanding the shock such a sight was cal culated to excite, she had the presence of mind to run to Mr. Rye, surgeon, who resides within a few doors of Mr. Seaton, and who, fortunately, happened to be at home, and he reached the spot in two or three minutes after the per. petration of the act. Entering the house lie followed a track of blood up the stair-case, and on the landing found the little sufferer weltering in her blood, and senseless. Having removed her, and carefully dressed her wound, imagine his horror and surprise when, on turning round, he saw the apprentice supported in the anus of a petson who had followed him into the house, with his throat cut in a shocking manner. Ilia attention, of course, was nett directed to the youth, whose name is Blackman, and sch u is about sixteen years old. In the course of the evenin g he appeared perfectly collected, was questioned as to the motive which had actuated him in the commission of these dreadful crimes. He said that he had called the child int o the surgery to show her the instruments, and while su doing a thought suddenly struck him that be must murder her, for which purpose be laid her across his knees, and taking up a pointed knife with two sharp edges, he thrust it into the side of her throat, and then attempted to stab himself three times in the side, the knife each time striking against his ribs. Having failed in his attempts at self destruction by these means, he cut his throat almost from car to ear. He subsequently declared that he had motive of revenge against any part of the family, nor mulct he account for the sudden impulse which led to the corn.,. mission of these dreadful deeds. We are happy to say the child is pronounced out of danger, but it is very doubtful whether Blackman can recover. Extract of a letter from St. Petersburgh, dated Aug. 26, (Sept. itk.)—" House-breakers are becoming as expert here as in London. A few nights ago the office of thd English Consul was broken open and robbed of money and other valuables, to the amount of about fifty thousand rubles, equal to more. than two thousand pounds. Th e robbers took out the glass of a window facing the epn street, on a fine moonlight night, and forced the shutters with a centre bit; they then broke open a private drawer, secured with a patent lock, in which were deposited the keys of the iron cheat, which was opened after breaking two keys, and the property above mentioned taken away; other boxes were broken open, but, containing nothing but papers, were left. The robbers also left billets Of the Con.. tnercial Bank to Cie amount of about twenty-five thousand rubles, which had been deposited with the Conkl, and ales a diamond necklace. No traces aro yet had of the thieves, who must have been well acquainted with the premiss. Our new and active muter of the police is indelatigabld in his endeavours to discover these daring depredators. ' On the afternoon of Saturday last, an elderly country. man, in an evil hour, had his pocket picked of GI. in a yard near the Bunker's Hill public-house. On discovering his loss, he made a hasty retreat to obtain assistance in recover ing his property, when he met with a soldier, an old ac. quaintance, to whom he related the piteous tale. A sharper, overhearing the story, stepped up, and Rrofessing to be a constable, volunteered his servic es . Tlte three then re paired to the house ; but before the gentletnon constable would commence a search, he wished the simple country man to ascertain the precise sum thot he had been robbed of, when the unsuspecting man laid on the table Gi. in notes, two drafts for 1001. each, a pocket book, and a silver watch, the whole of which th e kind officious con stable instantly seized, and ran away with. We under stand the man has since been appreheuded.—Not:: - nghars Journal. A colour sergeant of the 17th regiment, now lein3 in Edinburgh Castle, deserted last week with a e u nsia era bi t sum of money belonging to his company.—Caketunian Mercury. On Friday morning, as a fine boy, about thirteen years of age, named Davis, residing at No. 5, Canterbury -street, Cornwall-road, was following some sheep which were passing, was accidently upset by one of the flock, and his neck dislocated by the fell. The boy rose, but immedi ately dropped dir.vn and expired. A few days since, as some labourers were working in a gravel pit close to the town of Sbeffortl, they dug out a bottle, and two earthen dishes or platters, all of them evi. dently of Roman manufacture. 1 , rorn the pickaxe corning in contact with the bottle and the large platter or dish, they were unfortunately mutilated. The small dish was taken out whole, but the careless workmen threw it from the pit, and afterwards threw their working tools upon it, and broke a piece out of it. These dishes are of red earth, very fine in texture, and of excellent workmanship; the smaller one is a fine specimen of the chastest simplicity in desigr. There are two handles placed horizontally on the edge, and the margin is ornamented in the boldest relief. The Large dish has withinside a radi a t e d c i rc l e, containing the maker's name (it is presumed) Offager in Roman capitals. Huntingdon Gazette. EFFECTS o SEIDECTION.—On Thursday morning laet, some children, who were rambling through the fields. near Kirg ston-upon-Thames, in search of blackberries, discorertsl in s hedge, a considerable distance from the main road, a young comer., almost perfectli insensible, and nearly &salute of clothing; the children tried every means in their power to restore the Stlffeler, bat without effert, and one of them went off to comietunicata the cir cumstance to their parents, several of whom speedily repaired to the spot, fortunately in time to save the fleeting life of the miser. able girt, who was then reduced to the last extreme of famine; with the assistance of some labouring men, she was removed to the Three Jolly Butchers public-house, and the parish officers having been applied to, she was attended by the Surgeon of the work. house, who adopted the ordinary means for her restoration. When sufficiently recovered, she gave the following melancholy history of herself :—ller parents were in a respectable sphere of We, residing at unport ; while on a visit at Portsmouth, at a friend's house. she became acquainted with a young gentleman, who, under the specious show of affection, and promise of marriage, indoced her to elope with . hint. On :ter arrival in the naccropoin , she experienced the usual fate which awaits indicate' la too hastily formed attachmerfts. She was abandoned by ha heartless seducer, and destitute of friends became an nnialing slave to vice. As her error was in the int instance involuntary. she resolved to atone for it by a fixed determination to return w her friends, and had proceeded on her way homewards as far ar Kingston upon Thames, when her resources failed, and being az able to procure the common necessaries of life, she wanderai into the fields, where she h a d su b s i ste d on wild berries for three days, when, namre being exhausted, she lost all firmness of mind. 0; awaited death. The pari s h o ffi cers , on ascertaining het tura _1 address (which delicacy forbids us mentioning) have written to ' 0 patents, describing her melancholy situation. in the mean she has been visited by th e l a ndl a d y w i t h w h om s h e first on her arrival in town, and who (as also the parish authoritiCo os , shown her the most hum ane attention.
