An Inquisition was taken yeaterday afternoon before Mr. Ourrix, the Coroner, at the Golden Lion public house. Canon airon-road. St. thesege's in the East, on view of the body of Mrs. Sovhine Romanis 11'est, whose husband :s a respectable solicitor to Caron-street-rued, St. Georges in the East. Mrs. West had been dead since Monday week; and it would seem, from the fol. Inwing facts detailed haler. the Coroner, that the Inquest sat rather for the purpose of inquiring into certain slanderous, and, ins steed, infamous, reports circulated respecting Mr. West, and tending touch to thsparap and ruin his character, than to inquire into the death of the deceased. 111t.11artstrt attended professionally for Mr. West, and paid great attention to the examination of the witnesses, in order, If pos. sthla. to trace these slanderous rumour to the fountain head, and punish the proprgators of them. The first witness examined was Sarah Wiltshire, who deposed t.l,e was servant to Mr. West, of 26, Canon-street.road, for the last tsar months. Her mistress .sd had good health till w i t hi n t h e t eat :month, during which she had two Its, and continued to decline Irons that time until Monday week. when she died about a quarter Infers two in the morning. She was attended during her Illness by Surgeon Crisp, of Canon-street. Mr. West was a most etre *paste husband , and the deceased and he lived together very hap. pay. The deceased never complained of being ill treated, but UteqUently inestioned her dread, that, in consequence of the replrts in .Culatins about him, he would get into trouble. !]Jr. MARNE* observed, that in order to throw a little light on the subject. it would be necessary briefly to examine Mr. West. Mr. West was then called, and being sworn, deposed that the donased was his wife. She began to lose her health about a month or sic weeks ago ' • he attributed her deatil to a communication which was made tohim in her presence by Mr. Timothy Wright, • ord-nuerchant, in notices-Witte. This communication was made an English, witness believes, for his benefit ; Mr. Wright thinking 7:f los wife, who wax • native of France, would not understand sr he said. The purport of the communication was, Mr. right's saying, that it had been represents-I to him that during witness's absence from England be had led a mast abandoned lift, I ran through the whole of has property, destroyed a young woman awned Mary Clark, who bad Clar k, accompanied him to the Continent, am( that he was in Awn without a shoe to his foot, and that it was more than probable be never would return home. Coatouga.—ls there any rounds ion for this report ? Ma. West.-0 dear no, Sir! Mr. H aaaaa .--Did this set• t to have any Wert upon the de mised ? Mr. West.—Oa returning, after parting from Mr. Wright, I fined her on the sofa, in teats ; and on retiring to bed on the fol_ lowing night, abet appeared very much alarmed, and asked me if Shin was any truth in this report, or if it was likely I should be sett Se prison ? I endeavoured to comfort her, and calm her fears, but all was to no of eat Mary Clark had lived with him as servant for upwards of seven years, and left in consequence of ill health. SSA eras in a decline, and he took her abroad for the benefit of her health t bet she lingered a short time, and died, and her death gave rise to these slanders. _ .. lie. Charles Crisp deposed he was a medical student of Guy's and At. Tnoinasis Hospitals, and resided in Canon-street-road. Os attended the deemed for thu first time on the 2d instant; she Mat bad so apoplectic fit, but was recovered in two or three days. tie attended her in her last illness on Friday last, and found her labouring under diabetes, which was the mile cause of her death. Her spirits were very low on this occasion, but when he first saw her she had a great flow of them. Diabetes was the immediate rause of her death ; hut it is witness's opinion that her death was anselorated by these reports, Witness opened and examined the t.ody ; there were no marks of violence, and he mild discarice no other trace of complaint, excepting the diabetes. Coroner—Would any violent paa.ion, or grief, or terror, have awed her dsath?. fkirgeon—l think not. Mary Clark liras at Orset, in Essex. She had /daughter named 'buy, who lived seven years In Mr. West's service, and went with ham, in the July of 111 , 22, to France, with witness's perfect con sent. She had been four years in a decline. and left the country toe the benefit of her health. Witness never entertained the slightest suspicion that any improper intercourse existed between It daughter and Mr. West. Lollard Smith, sworn—lle has lived for the last four at In pan in France, and resides at present in Mile-end. He saw Miry Clark on her first arrival in France with Mr. West ; she ap - hen is the last stage of decline; two surgeons auended she ultimately died in France; she had no appearaaee of being in • state of pregnancy ; he saw the deceased shout a ago, when she appeared much alarned, and said she t throe /handers would be the means of depriving her of _J, and that she did not know what she would - do in a country. Ile saw her frequently afterwards until her ,nd she on all occasions expressed the same fears. 'itnothy Wright lives in Queen-street, Hotherhithe, and is `.-nt.

Witness heard his own neighbours say, that Mr. West had taken his servant to France, used bee very ill, which produced en abortion of which she died, and that he had run through all his property, and was associating with dissolute characters. kie stated this to Mr. West in the presence of deceased, as the report be had heard. The Coroner here, at the request of Mr. Harmer, wished Mr. Wright to name some of the individuals who had mentioned this report. The witness sail it was spoken of in a mixed company, and it was his opinion that not one who heard it believed the report. lie hal conversed himself with persons who had known 31r. West in France, and they spoke in the highest wrists of his conduct there, and rebutted the report respecting the Kid. The Coact N a now summed up the evidence, in the -nurse of which he remarked, that the reports circulated respecting Mr. 'Vest were moat unwarrantable, cruel, and uotoutated, and had no doubt preyed so on the mind of the deceased as to accelerate la a 'great degree her death ; and he hoped the persons wholutd been t he means of circulating these reports would be traced and punished as 1 the law allowed. . . Mr. Ilatatea pledged himself that nothing should be wanting on his part to trace and punish these growl labelleci. The Jury, after sonic little deliberation, returned a verdict— " That the deccatiod died a natural death ; but that her dissolution was accelerated by the reports alluded to." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

William lingrnan, tallow.chandler, of Shoemakers'-row, Black friars, appeared before the Commissioners, upon an informs. tion charging him with having proceeded to make dipped candles upon his premises, without having given notice thereof to the l.zeite. There were several other counts in the information, the fun penalties upon which amounted to several hundred pounds. The COURT pronounced judgment upon the first count, the full penalty of 301. William Renton and Peter il,nton were summoned to appear to answer for having worked a private candle manufactory in Charles street, Southwark. The officers entered at the window. Renton escaped. Peter was taken, and charged at Union-Kill office, when it was proved that the whole apparatus was found in operation on the pre invies. Peter said he was hired to work, and was tined 21.11. by the 3laglstrates. Upon the part of Peter Renton it was urged that there was no evidence that he was a principal ; that in fact he was merely a servant, and had hien found as such, and that such punishment was adequate to the offence. Mr. 31ror r.w represented the necessity ofconvicting Peter Renton, notwithstanding his conviction before the Magistrates. In fact, Peter had a chandler's shop, and was dealing in the very article. The Solicitor fur Peter Renton said that WWI no offence. . . . Mr. MAI' w.—But that fact, coupled with the fact that he is an older man than Wm. Renton, will weigh with the Board in the quevtion whether or not he was a principal. The Commissionersain there was no proof either way, and Mr. MArEw really thought Peter ought to be convicted as well as William. The Board thought otherwise. They thought that Peter had been sufficiently punished, and therefore di bbbb limed the cane as tn him. Renton, who did not appear either personally or by his Solicitor, was lined 601. LENT ASSIZES.

The plaintiff was tenant to Lord Orentley, of some land abutting en one of his Lordship's game preserves in the parish of 1 . /unfold, of which the defendant's father was Rector. On the 4th October, Int, the defendant was seen sporting, with his father, on the plaintiff's land. He was served with a notice on the 27th of De cember In the same year. On the 13th of October, 1823, he again came on the plaintiff's land, with his gun and dog, and was seen beating for game. For this trespass the action was brought. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, round their verdict for the plaintiff—damages Is. anositlLLD V. WORTHAII alias WHITE. , This was an action for the use and occupation of a house, N 0.16, Short -street, Lambeth, for half a year, at 401. per annum. Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. CHITTY conducted the plaintiff's case. and Mr. (1 uarrY the defendant's. It appeared in evidence that, during a period of about five months, the defendant (an attorney) lived in the plaintiff's house with a young woman named Blake, by the name of Mr. and Mrs. White. Prior and subsequent to that time, they had lived together by the same name in several other houses, and had a family of young children. Credit was given for one pound paid as a deposit. The defence set up was, that although the defendant and the lady did live together by the name of Mr. and Mrs. White in several other pieces, still, in this instance, the house had been taken solely by Mrs. White, without any privity between the defendant and the plaintiff Mrs. White, alias Blake, was called to prove this defence, and she swore that she alone had taken the house, and that Mr. Wortham had nothing to do with it. Mr. Waltham lived with his uncle in Castle-street, Holborn, and only visited her occasion ally. During the period of ber occupation of the house, the defend ant was ill and out of town, but since then she had lived, and now does live with him, by the name of Mr. and Mrs. White, in Isabella-street, Christ-church. Mr. AnoLeitus replied upon the defendant's evidence. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, found their verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, hi. CROWN SIDE. Tilt KIXO V. Tilt REV. W. WILLIAMS. This was an indictment against the defendant for assaulting Esther Smith, at Hascomb, ea the 24th January. The defendant was curate of the pariah in which he resided, and the prosecute: was his servant. She deposed that she went into the defendant's terrine on the 9d December. She lived on bed tan in his service; he had offered to tales liberties with her. He often threatened to send her to the tread-mill. On the 94th Ja. nuary he beat her, and used her very ill. He struck bee on her face and head ; she did not know how many Mows. He broke the comb in ha head, and knocked her against the copper In the wash bowie. Her ear-rings were knocked out, and she was severely hurt. She lost a good deal of blood. This violence was cum. mitred towards her because she would not boil a copper of potatoes for the hogs. During this time he kept his hand on her mouth to prevent her eying out. The defendant had two nieces and his wife in the house at this time. He pushed her out at the back door, and threatened her life. She was afraid to run away, she was so far from home. The defendant wanted to be rude with her, but she would not agree to his terms, and therefore he had a spite against her. Mary Stilwell proved, that on the 24th January, about nine o'clock, she saw the prosecutrix. There was blood on her apron, but she did not know the cause of it. She complained of nothing. The prosecutrie's apron was torn behind. Mr. CHITTY, fix the defendant, addressed the Jury, and com mented upon the incredibility of the prosecutes's story. He had no doubt as to the verdict, but fur the sake of the defendant's cha racter he felt it necessary to all witnesses to prove that the prose cotrix's story was without foundation. Miss E. Powell, niece to the defendant, deposed that on the day In question the prosecutes had been desired to light the copper. fire for the purpose of washing; she swore she would not. In the afternoon, and in the evening, she was again and again desired to do so, and each time she refused. In the evening she went into the washliouse; witness followed her. Witness said that MS defendant must see that she lighted the copper fire. The defendant fawned the teahouse door on the other side to prevent her coming into the parlour till she was done washing. The defendant never went into the washbouse again. In a few minutes afterwards the prom:Luria wee found to have left the house. Witne.s positively swore that the girl's statement was utterly false, as to the assault, Other witnesses were ready to be called, when The Learned Judge put it to Jury whether they thought the ease should proceed any farther. The Jury seemed perfectly satisfied, and immediately found the defendant—Not guilty. The prosecutes was immediately committed fur perjury, and the defendant bound over to prosecute her.

Amos 111 Ultimo was charged y the oroner a Inquest with the manslaughter of Edward Smith, labourer, at the parish of High Helyland, in the West Hiding of Yorkshire. It appeared in evidence for the prosecution, that there had been sonic difference between the families to which the prisoner and the deceased belonged, and that the deceased, who was an old man, up wards of 80 years of age, bad, in a sort of general light which ea. sued, received a bloir, and instantly. For the prisoner several witnesses were called to rebut the evi dence foe the prosecution. The Surgeon who had examined the deceased stated, that he had observed no external marks of violence, but that he attributed the death of the deceased to the bursting of a vessel near the heart, which was much more likely to be the result of violent passion than of a blow. The deceased was stated to have been a very yam tempered man. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. POLICE. GUILDHALL. A wl A very smart youn female, named Sarah Cockburn, was brought up yesterday on • of assault. No complainant appeared against her; but Mr. 'arburton, a respectable accountant In Colemamstreet, stepped forwanl to explain how she came to be in custodg. Ile said he was walking up Ludgate-hill on Saturday night, when he was rather surprised at meeting the prisoner leisurely kicking her bonnet before her. Ile asked if he should pick it up for her, but she declined his good others, and proceeded on with her amusement. Immediately after a pow woman picked up the bon. net, and offered to tie it on the prisoner's head, and she seemingly submitted to this then with good will ; but, before the operation was half completed, she struck the woman a moat violent blow on the face, which quite stunned her fur the moment. The prisoner was then given into custody. Iler defence was, that she had received a hurt on her head, and and when she drank any spirits, which she had been prevailed on to do that night, she became wild. As the injured party did not attend to complain, the Blagistrate discharged the prisoner, with some wholesome advice. Sir prostitutes were brought up in consequence of a sweeping order issued by Mr. Alderman Wood, to lodge all such characters, who may be found in his ward (Clip')legate), whether offending at the time or not, in the Compter. Mr. Alderman Birch iminedirtely discharged four of them, who had rot, on the nights they were apprehended in the streets, been Observed to accost er interrupt any one, or act otherwise in a die. orderly manner. One, who stated she had no home whatever, be ordered to be taken care of till her parish can be ascertained, lest she should become the victim of suicide; and the Witch was com mitted to Dridowell for oat week.

We have been favoured with the perusal of two lettersfrom Lime rickon the subject. They narrate the circumstances which took place in the Crown Court of that city, where that Learned Banister, and amiable upright man, Mr. Sergeant 'Ahoy, presided as Judge, during the Assizes. The letters coincide in the main points, which we now lay before our readers. A trial was proceeding in, of con sideable interest, in which Mr. Sergeant Ooold was concerned. Outing his statement, or examination of witnesses, the Learned Gentleman cried out, in his usual hasty and petulant manner, to the Sheriff to cause silence, adding that he could not hear, and that the Court was more like • bear-garden than a place of justice ! The presiding Judge (Mr. Sergeant Lefroy) on this, rebuked him temperately, for using such inconsiderate language as to liken a Court of Justice to a bear-garden, intimating that he, the Judge, thought the proper course would have been to have applied for assistance through the medium of the Court. Mr. Sergeant fioold looked somewhat irefully at the Judge, but sat down without ' making any reply. We are not certain whether the following circumstance occurred on the same or a subsequent trial, the letters from which we derive our information not specifying. Counsellor O'Connell, while cross-examining • witness, asked a 'question which the Counsel on the opposite side objected to. This produced a law argument, and in the end the Court decided that 31r. O'Connell could not persist in his question. Upon this deci 'ion, that Learned Oend.man indignantly threw up his brief, and addressed the following extraordinary language to the Judge:— " If the prisoner be convicted, his blood be upon your head !" Here our information upon the subject ends, as the letters we have alluded to were obliged to be sent off from Limerick, on sccoant of the hour the mail leaves that town. We shall however seine the earliest opportunity of laying before our numerous readers the result of the proceedings we have stated.—Deblia Paper. IMPORTANT ADDRESS OF BARON M 4 CLELLAND TO THE •xr!IM GRAND JURY. His Lord.hip stated, that he had to communicate to them an occurrence which had been reported to him by one of their own body, to have taken place on the 17th mu. ISt. Patrick's Huy), in a northern part of the county, and to offer them his advice as to the means of retaining that tranquillity on which be bad con. gratulated them from the bmich, on the very day those proceedings took place. He said he alluded to the procession of Hibbonmen at Cushendsll and Toome. " In the counties from which my Learned Mother Judge and I have come," said he, " we have tried a variety of men tor mur ders arising from party processions. In this county, on a former occasion, I addressed the Grand Jury, recommending the abstain. lug from auch processions, on both sides. I advised them to pat an end in all such proc•Nsions ; although I then alluded to those of the Protestants—the Orange processions, the Catholics have since followed the example, supposing that their processions were equally ' ' who wilt say they are not ? If the Protestants legal—and wt.. have a right to have 'heir processions, why have not their Catholic fellow-subjects an equal right to theirs? Each party, on those occasions, parade with fire-arms; and the processions of each party tend to promote tumult, and to excite painful sensations in She other. I wish every one of you, Gentlemen, who feels alarmed at the processions of the Catholics, to consider the cause from which they arise. I believe, in my conscience, and on my oath, as a Judge, that the one arises from the other. Put down both. And I conjure you, as you value your properties in the county, and the peace of the country at large, to put down both impartially; for, Gentlemen, a circumstance may be laudable in itself, but, it give cause oiolfence or irritation to any portion of his Maje.ty's subjects, it should he avoided. If you, Gentlemen, are struck with alarm at the Catholic processions of the 17th inst., judge what must be the feelings of the Catholics on the meeting of Orange pt.. cessions." QUEZN'S COUNTY ASSIZES. SHOOTING TUN 111011/111111Y.S. 01 AItI'I 0 a 0 V OIi7MAICII day the Assizes com menced. The town was crowded to excess—so great was the anx iety to witness the trials of the Police charged with murder. The Crown Court opened at 10 o'clock, and was filled almost to web cation in an instant. Shortly before ten o'clock, the prisoner, Nicholas /12'llostagh was placed at the bar. He was dressed in black, and had the sp. pearunce of a mild, genteel-looking man, about 24 years of age. IHe was considerably agitated, and shed tears: being formally ar. raigned by the clerk of the Crown, he pleaded not guilty to the in-1 dietment, which charged him generally with the wilful murders of William and Joseph Al'Darby, on the lands and in the parish of Killabin, oo the 28th of November last. - . _ These were two counts In the indictment. The first charged the prisoner with tiring at and inflicting • mortal wound on the left side of the belly of William 3Pllarby, of which wound he after wards died. The second count for firing at Joseph M`Darby, and wounding him in the groin, of which wound be languished a short time, and also died. A great TIM of evidence was given, stating the circumstances of the shooting of the 111•Darbys. The Jury,after remaining i n consultation for some time, returned a verdict of Justifiable Homicide, which his Lordship said was contrary to the law, and desired they should reconsider the verdict. The Jury accordingly retired and returned a final verdict of 31an slaughter. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS FOR THIS WEEK. iron HOUNDS.

WYNES awn SPE/KER.—The stage on which Spring and Langan arc to meet appears to be the place "devoutly wished for" by many. The former of these lads is anxious to meet Spencer after the great battle is over. We are sorry to state that an accident of a serious nature occurred on the second day of the Anson Hunt Races. Two or the whippers-in of Lord Anson's Hounds, who were employed in clearing the course, were riding at a smart pare towards the same spot, and their horses meeting each other, their heads came vio lently in contact. The men were both thrown front their seats, and ntuch injured ; one of them had his leg broken in the fall ; we believe, however, they are now out of danger. The hones are both dead ; one of them died on the spot, and the other it. a few hours afterwards.--Staforeirbire Advertiser.
