The reason he recollected Jos Levee:nation stilt die person who made the inquiry about the 1 i4..01. bell in Je.ntiery was, that he asked more questions than others 4 . .9 IIIAC iillUirlt , about the insolvent's bills, which were very I:equent. 11 iment's hither was a captain in the army lied an army aesti; longer than witness could recollect. M r.. 11 sot a addressed the Court on the evidence. It was im pessitle ter the insolvent to have been prepared with the evidence. that eras given on his first examination, respecting the reference to .!r. (odd, as he could have no knowledge of it before it was given. The impression of the Court Oa that evidence was, that Mr. (odd had given a false character of the insolvent, to enable hint frauttu tently to otnern Mr. Sither's plate. That impression must he re. revved by the evidence that was now produced. No one could neuht the evidence that had been given by Mr. Codd, and no one ten.:(l believe, on evidence len than would be sufficient to prove a umuele, that a respectehle Army Agent, without any possible mn i:se, should eater into a eunepiracy with the insolvent to enable `tin lraudulently to ohtaiii a quantity of plate from Mr. Salter.

The record made by the Chief Commitsionez, before whom thecase had been heard, was, that the insolvent was to. be renianded for fraudulently contrateine Mr. Salter's debt, and without reasonable expectatiure. The evidence of that day had relieved the insolvent front the charge of fraud, h'it his want of means remained the same; for when a person ni.es owed *Ail. preetited goods which lie could not want but fur this purpose of raising motley, it was evident that those who gave rum credit must ultimately surfer a and such conduct the Corn would endeavour to review.

A question here arose, whether an Extent of the Crown could reach a note indorsed over as a security ? Mr. 11 enetrusw was of opinion that it would, if not discounted. His father was, further, in possmsion of a policy of insurance with the Equitable Office, his property, on the life of Thomas Williams IVillianee, Esq. for °,01.10/., deposited in like manner with the banking-house in Iterners.strect; has, besides, five shares in the Plymouth Dock. which are not assigned. worth 2001. a share ; witness's father has also considerable landed estates in the County of Hertford and Kent; cannot say as to his father's property in pictures, bey ond what were sold.

By indenture ex ecuted, it is agreed, that he !witness) shall at • future time be admitted • partner. The debts from many nand ulcers to wit ness and father in his business of navy agent amount to upwards of 100,000/. There are also debts due from that concern. That will appear from the brooks, the accounts not laciog wound up.

Marsh's private cecoont was 32/. 10s., and the sum now remaining to his account was 21. Joe 31r. II Etienne/4 observed, if the inquiry was to go into the banking account in Berner.-street, it would be impossible to get through it this night. The Jury, in fact, could form no opinion of the value of Mr. Alamb's interest in the hacking concern until the accounts were wound up, and that conk! only extend to surplus funds. 111 r. James Kirby, late clerk in the house of Marsh and Co., de. owed. that Mr. `Gillian Marsh, son lied a private account with the house in Bemers.street, the present balance of which was 1,9431. lls. 3d. in his favour. The accountant* the house were not made up, and witness could not say bow far there would be a surplus balance in Mr. Marsh'. favour. A discussion now took place between Mr Henchman and Mr. Peacock, as to the imperfect evidence of the value of the several species of propert; in which Mr. Marsh was interested, 31r. Henchman observing, that, with the exception of the plate and houses, no evidence has been given by which the Jury cculd form an estimate of the interest 111,. Marsh actually possessed. How then would it be possible for the Court of King's Bench, in case of sale, to say. upon the execution of this writ, for what sum, or to was extent of interest remised by 31r. Marsh, the writ to the Sheriff. de eendirione I.:pones, should issue. Mr. PEACOCK insisted that the description given by Mr. Marsh, junior, /4 . houses and estates, besides annuities, promissory notes, and policy of insurance, were sufficient for the object of this inquiry. Mr. Hcwctaaw still adhered to his objection, that th- evidence of the annuities could not he received but front the contents of the deeds thetneelves, as under the trusts ormarriage settlements ; and in this he referred to the case of the King v. Anderson, in which it is laid down that the King stands truly tht shoes of a debtor.

On Tuesday last, as Itictest was taken by Mr. Gongeroft, at North Stuntham, on view of the body of Mary Page, who, on the Thursday previous, died, in the Parish of St. Peter's, Cheesehill, near Winchester, and on Sunday ass conveyed to Stoneham for interment. 11 - hen the corpse was removed front the house in which i the unfortunate woman died, the utmost confusion took plats ; a' mob of a omen assembled round the cart, and with every mark of ' anger and disgust, protested against the removal of the body, of which they openly declared James Page, her late husband, to be the murderer ! produced much public talk. and the neigh. bourhood became a scene of general agitation ; reports were circu lated of too positive a nature to be heard with indifference, and the funeral was postponed until a Coroner's Inquest could ascertain the truth' As soon, therefore, as the necessary evidence could be col lected, and such preparations made as the importance of the cue required.* Jury was summoned , and on the day above mentioned proceeded on their investigation. It appeared that the deceased had been married to the amused, James Page, about eight months, previous to which time she had been a domestic in the home of Julie Fleming, Esq. of Storteluuu Park, and had there established, what to the hour of bit death she maintruned—a most unexceptionable character. Her husband, on the other hand, was Ito use a lenient term) a man of irdiflerent re putation, fonder of the public-house than of hie domestic fireside and the society of his unhappy wife. In his daily occupation, in. deed. (that of a barge an on the River Haien). he was not neg. lectful ; but his generrd habits and disposition were well-known to be far feuin tee path of rectitude. The witnesses produced on the Inquis: were the mime and companions of the deceased during her illness, a person who had, on a particular occasion, witnessed her bad treatment, and the surgeon who had attended her The sub stance of their evidence was to the following effect :—For many months it had been well known wall the neighbourhood that James Page and his wife had not lived on amicable terms, and the deceased had often complained of the moat unmanly abuse and cruel treatment from hei himennd. One of the witnesses, who resided in the sauce house, hail frequently been alarmed by her cries. and inteitered in her What'. She (the witness) hail never seen any blow given, but bad listened to detail, of the moat brutal conduct on the part of the husband, which had been verified by marks of recent viplenee, and his own unfeeling ex. nressionre Another witness had seen the deceased knocked down by her husband in a public fair, which she was entreating him to ',ace; x ctowd collected round them, some of whom succoured the deeea.ed, oleic where seized or. Peer, saying that he hail • killed the teenier." His reply was an exproaeion of induierence, too costae to be repeated. On one oreasion, a witness was called into room by the aim of the dece.teed, who was in a state of extreme iearni Red agitaiton. and ;hewed witness a hearth-brush, of which the hunrtic was broken in two. and %Idea file complaieed her hus band had just broken by beating her. On the witness expostu lating with Lim for his conduct, Pe t e: coolly reldievl " that she (the deo eiseel) had deserved it, and ten times more." Various other instances of ill-treatment were spoken of, but the 'Duet int portaet, and that on which the Jury expressly founded their verdict was this. In the Leer end of the month of August last, the de ccased eompleint d Pi an aetplaintante, one of the e 'messes, that her husband had been cruelly beating her, and produced a herb knotty fat:gut-sock, with which she said he list given her a violent blow on the back of the head ; the witness looked at the place where the blow was received. and otsorsed a bruise or dent there, which we:oared to be recently mutinied, of nearly half an incl, in depth. Alter that time the deceesed fie. quently, especially define it illness, complained of paiw• in her head, but never sietcd to the surgeon any probable cause, aed that gentleman, not havieg reason to susp e ct any thir.g improper, of course attributed diem to natural causes, and the effect of her ill ness. To add to the atrocity of the above tteneactions, it should be mentioned, that the Ma...teed was, (luring the greater part of the time, in a state of eregnancy. Ilmncn nature cculd not bear such me: tment wiihoutsihking; on the 117th of ()ember the poor woman wax seized with conviiisions--withiu two day, she was prematurely delivered of a still-born chile, and on F.ilay, the 29th, the puo. creature ended her miseries in death ! While witnesses acre de posing the above revolting feces, the Sergzon (W. T. 11'iekham, jun.

At last he came, and Mr. R. told him he deserved to be summoned for detaining him so long. " What for," said the driver, very sulkily , " I reckon a backney-noachman is to get his suppress well as other people. Do you mean to summon me ?" Mr. R. replied that he believed he should, since lie was en insolent about it. "Why, then, get out of the chariot," said emichee, " for I'll be hanged if I drive you at all." And eventually Mr. R. was obliged to get out and take another coach. The driver, in his defence before the Magistrate, admitted re fusing to drive Mr. R., and said his reason for doing . so was this : Mr. R. threatened to summon him fur cot being with his coach: and therefore he thought he might as well be summoned for re fusing to have any thine to do with him. The Magistrate told Lim his conduct was very wrong, and he had made it still rinse by writing the insolent letter above tie scribed. But he would not puni%h him froth any vindictive feel: ing, and therefore, instead of fining him three pounds, as lie might have dune, lie should mitigite the penalty to twenty shillings, and coats.

The discussion of the question had been adjourned three Of four limes, principally in consequence of the absence from town of the Rev. tientleman, which precluded the access to certain documents, which ;lr. Griffiths, the Vestry Clerk (who conducts the rase on the pan of the incumbent) thought essential to produce, to subatantiate his claim. A large chest was now produced in the office, containing documents appertaining to the concerns of the parish for nearly two hundred ' , tars. Sergeant bleaaolc, Al AU NADU ate SE LLO N.

After • good deal of desultory conversation among the legal Gentlemen, Mr. Hammen addressed the Magistrates. He stated, that in • question of such importance, it was necessary that every stage of the preeeediogs should be regularly conducted. Upon consulting with Mr. Griffiths, he discovered that there was no person in Court to prove that the sum, as specified in the summons issued against his two clients, had been demanded, and the payment retested. The individuals summoned had no objection to telinquish this pre liminary point; but as the parish at large was concerned, be sub mitted it to the candid judgment of the opposite Counsel. when the decision given in this important use must set the question at rest, whether it should not be conducted with the strictest ad herence to forms and usages. Mr. Griffiths replied, he thought the merits of the ease were only intended for discussion, and accordingly he came unprepared with such ample evidence as seemed requke& Sergeant SELL° x observed, that as preliminary objections might probably, from day to day, procrastinate the decision, there was one which he would mention, that might be urged, the validity of which, however, he did not think emihi be sustained, namely—that the Act of Parliament preluded any justice of the price deciding on such questions where they might be considered as interested in divides's. The house in Hatton-garden, where the Justice-room is fired, is is the parish of St. Andrew's ; but r it is virtually the I property of Government, it could not be construed as affecting the interests of a private individual. Mr. HARMER pledged himself that such an objection would not be ruin; d. 31r. Mr n [WET Emit read the clause in the Act of Parliament, which clearly showed that the spirit of the Act did not contemplate such an exception. lie then requested, that es his general public arocationa would not permit his attending from time to time on this %within, the Solicitors on each side would definitively lix a day for the arguing of the case. Mr. HAI mr a replied, that if Air. Griffiths would wait on him, they would settle all preliminary points, and then name a day for final derision. _ AII parties then withdrew, evidently with an maims impatience to ascertain the rtwult of a question which had fur eo long a period agitated the 'iamb. If 4% RI.ROROUO p -STREET. Saturday morniiti,74;2elarrin, the;onfectioner --7- , who resides at No. 123, Neer Bund-street, came to the office,- and complained of a mysterious and singular attack which had been made upon his wife. Ile stated that she was sitting in the shop, about ten o'clock on Friday evening, when a small bullet penetrated the shop window, and whizzed past her head, demolishing the glass and scattering the sweetmeats In every direction. The lady was much alarmed, and fainted. The servant', hearing her screams, flew to her assistance, and found their frightened mistress lying on the floor of the shop. Having sufficiently revived her to learn the cause of her fright, she infornied them of the attempt upon her life, and on looking Into the street they saw a respectable person standing on the opposite side, attentively observing what was going forward in the shop. They conclud ed that he was the person who had fired the gun, and were proceeding to take him into custody, when be ran away, and has not since been heard of. This mooning, when the servants were cleaning the shop, they found thc bullet among sonic broken glass. Mr. Jarrin added, that big wife was much alarmed, and he wished to have the Magistrate's opinion what course he should adopt. It was a convincing proof, he said, that the bullet came from an sir -Kura, otherwise the discharge would bare been heard. The 31agistrate, 3lr. DYEn, a,;recd with Mr. Jarrin that it was an unmanly and unjustifiable snack, and promised that every 34. sistance should be rendered him by the officers of tt.at establish ment. He immediately directed Schofield to accompany Al r. Jar rin to his house, and hand-hills to be distributed, describing the person of the individual suspected. A reward of 504. was oCered for his apprehension. A young woman named Marone: Arkes, who is both deaf and dumb, was brought up by one of the St. Geoege's officers. to swear • child to i:s father. The officers experienced considerable difficulty in discovering him, but the woman fortniately could read, and she was therefore able to affirm or contradict what was shown to her.— By this means the man, whose name is Davies, was discovered. She swore to reveal thc truth, and upon the question being put to her respeciing the father, she pointed him cut. Ile denied the truth of the woman's testimony, but at length agreed to pay 2s. tid. pa werL. The lanillotd of the Green Man. Berwiek-street, was tired 5/. toe allowing profane tunes to be pertinrructi in his house on Sundsy evening. QT.) E EN-SQUA RE. Saturday, Mr. Lowe, a baker, charged • youth of respectable appearance with a felony ; ant! the youth, whose name is Aketuian. ' charged ,Mr. Lowe with an assault. Alt. Lowe began by stating that he believed there had been sonic misconception on his part in this aff'air, and he was glad to exone rate the bow from the imputation of dishonesty. MAM IL I.•:en insisted upon hearing the facts of the ease. Alr.Lowe said that he was passing through the Park, on the pre. ceding evening, about ten o'clock, and observed a gentleman in a state of intoxication, and the youth Akerman came behind the gentleman, and on leaving him, witness observed a yellow silk ha :kerchief in his hand, which, at the time, be thought was drawn out of the gmuleman's coat pocket. Witness went up to the youth, anti took him into custody, and he said the handkerchief was his master 'a property. A crowd collected, and on the gentle. mall being asked if the hanceitcrchief was hie, he said it was not ; but he 1134 so much in liquor as scarcely to be able to articulate. The youth called •••• %Vetch !" as soon as site gentleman disclaimed the property, and the Park conataldos came up and conveyed Mein both to the watchhouse, *hoe they had been detained all night. Ike boy said. that be was 311 apprentice to Mr. Crouch, a tailor, in A% artlour-street, he was sent at time o'clock, by his master, will a suit of clothes to Jr. Townsend. a gentleman residing at Pimlico. On his return through the Park, about ten o'clock, he smw a rtitien an very much in liquor, who end. d as he passed by hue. A large stone lay eel the mail, and it the gentleman had fallen u.; it, he thought his back would have been broken, and he held hint tip as well as he could. in quitting the geetientan, Mr. bowecatrie up to him, sad charged him with rubbing the gentleman of the Itinelkereltief, and he ilformed him that it was hie niastees, which Le Mid just been tatirg to c.,rry a bundle of clothes to a enamel!, r. Tee Park cons:Ad.:l came iii, and took them both to the watelthon.e. Mr. Crimea. the master, confirtinil the key's statement, and said that a more honest youth did not exist. Lowe again said it w:ut a mistake on his part ; but he hoped Mc night's lodging he bad in the watchbouse was a sufficient punishment. The Magistrate said, h e did not ,re that Alf. Lawe was much to be blamed, as he had a suspicion that the boy robbed the gen ii._ man, on coinieg from behind him with a handkerchief inbis hand, which was a ra•ural conch:mon. lye told the boy that he lett the Court with a spotless clitirtet , r, smil dismissed the parties.

It appears that the tire is at tributable to the following circumstance:—An Irish la bourer, named Sullivan, together with his wife and three children, occupied a back apartment on the second foot, and, as is generally the custom with the lower order of the Irish, he had been endeavouring to get rid of the greater part of his hard-earned wag s at an adjoining public house, reeling out brint-full of gin and joy, he got to his disconsolate spouse, who had also been at " the Caps," to drive away care. This jovial couple found their way to bed, but forgetting to " snuff out the rush-light," it com municated to the long-feathered couch, which, as a Scotch mail would say, was very spextlily "in a lowe." The warmth, however, awakened the children, who effected t h e i r esc ape, whilst their sottish parents slept on, and were, with the utmost difficulty, extricated from their perilous situation. _ _ Fran.—Friday, about ten o'clock in the forenoon, the flax-mill of Mr. Moses Atkinson, at the Bank in this town, took fire, end notwithstanding the prompt arrival of seve ral engines, and the advantage of a plentiful supply re water, the flames spread with such amazing rapidity, the nearly the whole of the building was reduced to a heard ruins in less than two hours. The fire originated Mi.: carding-room, in the top story, and was occasioned by fr.: friction of part of the machinery. The room, which WA full of work people, chiefly children, was instantly ii flames; but we are happy to state that they all effistel their mope, though rot without considerable difficulty, many of them being obliged to leave their clothes behind them. It was entirely owing to the judicious 'masons of the firemen and a few active friends who volunteered their services on this alarming occasion, aided by the zealous re operation of all classes whom the alarm had drawn to gether, that the warehouse, engine-house, and a small portion of the mill wore preserved, and that the flames were prevented from extending to the contn,-tious dwele:;g• houses. It is of course impossible to speak with 111 , ac curacy aa to any amounn of damage occasioned by this destructive fire, but it is thought that the loss veal 1101 be less than 10,000 f. The property is insure.l y a certain extent in the Sun and Imperial Assurance Oftlks; but we are afraid not sufficiently to cover the whole kos. Between two and three hundred people have beep , thrown out of employment by this calamitous accident.; but there is this mitigrting circumstance ti ttemling it, tint it has not beck fatal to the life of any individual, nor has any serious per sonal injury been sustained by stay of the persons who ren dered their assistance on the occasion, though much risk was necessarily encouturreil.—Leds Paper.
