The RECIZIIT-CIRCIIII IlooeTr.so-orrics.—Jmert Lancaster, (`hark,(`hark,yun. and (` hark, Abd,t, were to have been examlneon Saturday respecting Captain Audition's parcel, which contained the turquoise, watch, and two ten-pnund notes • but the elder Lancaster, con. tree" to the ,deice of his son's solicitor, brought a fresh charge against Abbot, to prove him the culpable pony. Capt. Addison and a room full of witnesses attended. Mary Fitzgerald, an Irishwoman, swore that she was a widow and servant to 'llr.

Ou her re aigen she gave the sovereign to Abbot, who gave her Iwo-Pence. to t a glass of gin. The ticket he said she might do as she liked with, and she took it home and mislaid it. The brown paper envelope he gave her to light the lire with, and she did so next morning. Her master was not in the office at the time. he was gone to Twickenham for two days; she recollects having given hip a clean shtrt sad handkerchief. She had frequently taken things ta.pledge with Mr. Stevens, and ip Panton-street, for Abbot, but never for anybody else ; never pawned for her master ; had often beard her master abuse Abbot for breaking open parcels. Did not think it wrong in Abbot to break open the parcel, though he said, - "'Judy. take them far off." Mr. Stevens, *legman to Mr. Aldoue, pawnbroker. recollected the 24th of December. The last witness came in their shop with the waistcoat and trowel, produced. Ile lent 225. on them. Ile gave hers sovereign, a shilling. a sixpence. and teurpence in hilt. pence. He asked her who they belonged to. She replied, to a lasing man who lodged in the same house with her. He refused her 203., on account of the waistcoat being wet with dirt. On the Tuesday and Wednesday alter, she applied to hint for an Mil. davit. oiling she had lint the ticket ; she then said the things be. longed to her husband. He told her that a fashionable velvet Waistcoat could not belong to her husband. She afterward contra. dieted herself ny saying they were the property of a young man who lodged with her. Suspecting her %tory, lie refused her the affidavit. A few der, after, her sister's child came, and (as is the practice with those wh.. cannot read) put several thipli, toes on the copeoter, for him to mice the one that whirred to an article she wished to redeem : among these was the duplicate the last witness Said she had lost. This ticket he detained. Ile did not ask her what name to put on the ticket, as he had known her seven years, apd she always pawned in the name of Ann Itagget. she had gowned many things of trifling value since the 24th of December, such as an apron or a pair of stockinet , . Abbot said lie had of en pawned his own thing. fur Lanceatert he had even taken the east off his hack. and seer. d in the office in his shirt sleeves, to make up the money for hnoked passengers.

Than Magistrate, atter hearing the evidence on the first exansina. Lion, was of opinion that it would not sustain the charge of felony. and liberated the defendant upon his pfllllll4P to appear on Saturday with his wife and sister. They aceordit.gly attended. accompanied by a professional gentleman; and 11r. Andrews appeared as Goan all for the prosecution. _ _ The Magistrate intimated to the Learned Gentleman his opinion that there was not sufficient evidence of felony against any of the parties. Mr. Andrews said it was in evidence that Osborne had Pre. gustily instructed his boy to sly he had no pots, when at the flame time lie had six or seven of ale. Fearn'a in his possession ; but • stronger circumstance against him was. that 'Caen the place was aearci.ed a pot bektnging to Mr. t'arret, a publican with whom he never dealt, was found in his cupboard, it having been furnished to oats of his lodgers. Abs. Williams, t h e lodger, sass then sworn, and stated that ohs dealt with Mr. Ferrer, of the Cornwallis public-house. but she generally took her own mug. When ale had a pot 11r. Ferrer accommodated her with one of the parlour pots. The pot now shorn to her was exactly like one she Itad had. and which she plated outside of the door in readiness for the pot boy.

Ile missed it one day, and the nett morning found it in its present slate. 'rite defendant Osborne closely questioned the witness, in order to show that sundry articles had been missed from the shop, that its was suspected of stealing 'Lent, and that his brother not long since was transported for felony. Mr. A cotte.ws objected to this mode of examination. The defendant said Ilia object was to show that the boy was bad character, and he believed the iota had been put where they were found by him. " I suspected him of robbing me," said he. " sod ita I laid a trap to detect him ; but he has turned the table on me; he has tr.spped me." Mr AN one Ns now submitted that en the evidence produced The male :letenitam should be committed foe the felony. lie would not press tie the committal of the wife or sister, because he knew that a Jot v would &wilder they might have acted under the con. test of the male defendant. Mr. TWVloiln, after a short consultation with another Might. trate. decided that there was not evidence to commit either of the defendant.• for the felony, or even to hold them to bad for the con spiracy. They were sberidere discharged. DREADFUL MURDER IN MAIII:LERONE, AND SWOPE OF THE MURDERER. Friday night a moat drerit!ful murder wan committed in High. street, Marylebone, by a man named Pollard, who afterward,' put a period to Ilia own exie:ence by stabbing hinucelt. In his paroxysm of pasaion lie ;kit stabbed two fenialesbiaitles the indivi dual who felt a vie , on to his atrocious design. The following is a itoccinct and correct account of this shirking catastrophe. which has created an extraordinary cenantion throughout this pariah:— Mr. Cooper. deceased, wan a respectable bruaft-maktr it, igh street. Alaryleborie. lie had a sister, who was married to a man named Pilgrim. Their union wan not a happy tele, and a repa ration took place. A man named Joseph Pollard. who wax for merly a butcher in Marylebone.lane, anti who had been sepa rated from bin wife, paid nine attention to all's. Pilgrim. and they agreed to cohabit togeth: r. They did so for a canaiderible period ; but the violence of Pollard. and bin v ohms acts of neglect and cruelty, induced her to leave hint. On Thursday laat she sought protection in the house of Mr. Cooper. her brother, and she en treated Mr. Cooper not to Puffer Pollard to see her on any account, as she haul determined that all imercourse between then) should ' cease. Pollard had declared that he could not eclat without her, and he went to Mr. Cooper's bowie to peek an iaterview with her. He was informed by Mr. Cooper that she was not there, and he went sway. (hi Thursday lie took a large butcher's knife to a grindery in fice's.cnurt, and got it sharpened. The knife is eight inches in length. and is what the butcher% technically term a " side knife." Pollard went to a public-haunts after the knife was sharpen ed, and pro duce) it before several pertains who were drinking, remarking that it would cut a man's throat. He took con aiderahle quantities of liquor, soul became eery noisy. He said that he did not care a fig fvr any one, and he should tight • duel before lie was a day older. The company laughed at what appeared to them an idle threat, which angered him, and he swore he would light a duel or commit murder. lie brandished the knife, and said he would have satislaction or death. Pollard arrived at Mr. Cooper's house on Friday night about half. past seven o'clock ; he entered the shop, and insisted upon seeing Mrs. Pilgrim. Mr. Cooper came round the counter and, having placed himself close to the done, ordered Pollard ' to leave the shop. Pollard swore he would not leave the premises till he had seen Mrs. Pilgrim. r. Cooper said that he could not see her, and he should not tatter the chop, and pushed the door in his face. Pollard. who appeared in be intoxicated, a 'id with an oath, that he would enter, or be would have his life, and forced his way into the shop. Mr. Cooper spread open his arms to prevent Pollard advancing; and at thin moment Pollard drew a butcher's knife from under bin coat, and plunged it into Mr. Cooper's heart. The villain twice repeated the stroke. and Mr. Cooper fell on his face lifeless, and his body rolled down the steps into the street. Mrs. Cooper, who is far advanced in pregnancy, entered the shop on hearing the noise, and on witnessing the horrid scene she became eveeedingly terrified ; fear deprived her of the power to call for asisistance. Pollard then shrew the weapon from the bleeding side of her husband, jompatl over his body, and with a deadly ferocity made • thrust at Mrs. Cooper, who retreated, anal the first waw' she received wan in the back of the neck. Ile inflicted tiro other %smooths, one on her arm and the other or her aide. She fell on the two senseleaa. Mr. Cooper's son, who was in the parlour. alarmed at the dreadful sight, cried out for apsiat• since, and Pollard flew at hint in the most Ravage manner. The boy, who is about fourteen years of age, had the pretence of mind to seize a poker, and as the wretch approached him, he knocked the knife nut of his' band, and ran tint of the shop, cry ing •• Murder !" At thin time Pollard appeared quite infuriated, and struck at every thing that was in his way, and, inched, ap a-ared scarcely to know what he was doing. As may reasonably be supposed. the dreadful spectacle that Mr. Cooper exhibited at the door drew a crowd to the spot, but before any one could enter as shop, Pollard had woondetl the unfortunate persons in the manner already stated. It happ •ned that at this moment a party of the watchmen were going to their respective stations, when, on passing :he opnnsise aide of the way, they saw Pollard standing in the door-way, flnurishing his knife over his victim. The watch. men endeavoured to enter the shop, but Pollard used the moat horrid oaths, brandished the knife, which he had picked tip, and swore that whoever dared to approach him should share the same fate as the individual they saw berate them. The watchmen stood aghast, and none of them ventured to approach to seize upon the murderer; they were horror-struck at the scene of blond, and each stand in his fellow',' face. At length a young fellow named George Jepp rushed into the shop, upon which Pollard in a.antly stalked into a remote and dark part of the place. Jepp said, " Where is the murderer—who has , dare this ?" Pollard ex claimed. `• I'm the man." Jepp seized him by the collar, and said. " I have got you." Pollard replied. " a dead man." Jean dragged him to the door of the shop, and into the street. when the watchmen claimed possession of his person, and insisted tai it Jenp should deliver Pollard into their custody. Jepp replied, " that if they had not courage toga in and secure him. they should not take the primmer from him. and he would not give him up till he arrived at the Police Office." At thin period the watchmen went for medical assistance. an Mrs. Cooper was bleeding dread fully. and the blood was also issuing copiously from the wounds in Mr. Cooper's a 'le. Pollard, although lie had stabbed himself to the heart before he wan captured, yet walked along the street to the bark entrance of the Police Office, but he fell on the step as he wan making an elfart to ascend. He staggered the whole of the way. Of the Qfficera who met him and Jepp in Grotto-pita. sage, said to the latter, " Why do you hold him by the collar ; he can walk very well what has he done ?" Jepp replied, "IN has onsornittud murder, at d I will not let go nay hold." It was not discovered that he hail wounded himself till he fell on the office steps, when the anal was observed to gush through his waistcoat. lie was then quite exhausted, and the Magistrate directed a sur geon should be sent forma tend him. Nn evidence was taken, and as the Surgeon gave hopes that Pollard mignt recover, the Magis. trate ordered that lie abaulsl be co•!veyed to the Infirmary. He was attended thereby Mr. floodyer and Mr. Poole, the house.surgeons, and his wounds were dressed. About nine o'clock. Mr. Rawlinaon, the Magistrate, attended by one of the clerks, visited the wretched man, with a view of eliciting his matives for committing the dia. bol l cal died but all his endeavours were useless, as he persevered in not answering any questions, but groaned and moaned as if he was enduring extreme pain. Mr. Poole, about one o'clock in the morning. asked him if he wan drunk at the time? To this he gave no arum but said he felt a dreadful pain in bin heart ; and when the nurse wan employed in bathing the wounds with a lotion, he said, •• Ali! it's all no use. it'. all over, the thing is done."— He cc %mined quite sensible till a little before three o'clock, when he expired in tae utmost agony. Mrs. Pilgrim 'a wound is not dangerous,. She has no doubt that Pollard, who was of a most ferocious and aanguitiary disposition. intended to des my her, because she refused to gn back and live with Idol, and, from her account, it was nut herself merely, but her property, that Pollard coveted. Mr. Cooper pieniessed a freehold pronerty, situate at Reiss!' Green, which brought him in about 330!. per annum, and his sister, Mrs. Pilgrim. had heroine entitled to mime property adjoin. iogo The la ter had been formerly possessed by Pollard's mother, who kept an lon at Kelsall Green. Mr. Cooper and Mrs. Pd. grin became the purchasers of it, when Mrs. Pollard died. When the sale of this property took place, rallied and Mr. Cooper, and It's 'dater. were introduced to each other. and that circimodunce led to the intimacy which hint .erminsted in so tragical a manner. Pol. lard had several times aftenipted to obtain possessina of Mrs. Pll. grim's interest in the property in question.

Witness cut his cloths down in front, and there discovered a wound on his left breast; it was an incised wound, of a little more than an inch •in length; it passed obliquely for a short distance under the skin, and then through the cartilaginous termina tions of the rins, and he had reason to imagine, from the instants eous death that followed, that it had reached the heart. Ile was unable to state positively that the wound had caused death, but he believed it had. 'flie Coroner—Haire you opened the body ?—No, Sir.

Colonel—Who are you, Sit? what are "nu Sir? %Ye cannot be inflamed by your objections. If we deem it necessary, we must have the body opened. One of the Jury said they did not wish to distress the feelings of the faintly of the deceased by loving the body opened; and the Jury redly did not consider there wan any occasion to open the body. Coroner—lleslly, gentlemen, I cannot he put down in this manner, nor will 1. If I think it necessary to have the body opened, it shall he done.

I wall dawn In the kitchen of , Mr. Elaetnore's house, when Mrs. N. &led me np to see what was the matter at Mr. Ceoper's house. The fleet thing I saw was Mr. Cooper lying ont-itle his own shop-door. paddy. In his own shop anti partly int his area raga. I hastened into the shop, and Saar a man who they said had committed the deed; thatzian I was Informed was Jaime Pollard, I went up to him, and took hold of the back of his neck nith my left hand, and by his arm with try right hand ; I brought hint out, aid the watchmen wanted to take him Into 'heir custody. He then had not the knife in his hand. I said, " You are the man a" Ile replied, " I am ;" and he added, " I am the man; but I shall be a dead man shortly*" or. " 1 am a dead mart." Mr. Cooper was wou led, and the blood was flowing front him as he lay on the ground. 1 did not observe any wound on the person of Pollard until he came into Orotto.missage ; and, on ascending the first step leading to this office, he fell on the atone step, and would have fallen to the ground if I had not held him. Then I discovered he wes wounds il, and he was immediately taken to the Infirmary. He said nothing more to me than that he was a dead man, or that he should soita lie a dead man. I saw neither Mrs. Cooper nor Mr. Cooper's sister, He was in the dark part of the shop when I went in. He had not a knife in his hand when I laid hold of him. In answer to some questions put by the Jury, he said he saw no one elte in the shop but Pollard. There were several watchmen at the door, hut they seemed afraid to enter. The Coroner said they were not inquiring into the conduit of the watchmen. If they had not done their duty, it was for thb Watch Committee to call them to account. F Vary Jones, the mother of Mrs. Cooper, was then called, and said. lam a widow, residing in sle. Cooper's house. At the time the last witness entered, I was behind the counter. Jepp could not see me, but I war. behind the counter looking for the knife which Pollard had thrown away at the time in (inflation. Mr. Cooper's sister came to see him on account of being unwell. Pol. lard came to see after her. I told him she was not there, and he would hardly believe it. He Paid he would return at seven o'clock. At that hour he came, and 31r. Cooper said heshould not come into hiss house, and Mr. Cooper's sister went into the passage to speak to him. What passed between them Ido not know, but Mr. Cooper's sister returned in'o the parlour. followed by Pollard, . who then stabbed Mr. Cooper. Seeing me, he said, " I silta'n't hurt you," and he then ataltbed himself in the side once or twice, and I said, " will no one take this rascal ?" The deceased, Mr. Cooper. turned rutted and sail. .• Lod, have mercy upon me !" he staggered to the shop door and there he fell; his note was much cot by falling on the stone steps or railing. I did not hear the conversation at the shoo door, but a little girl who overheard them Pliti they were mtarrelling. Mr. Cooper's sister must have been in the passage when the wound was inflicted. Mrs. Cooper was in the parlour, and she was stabbed in the shoulder and in the breast. I saw Pollard with the knife in his hand, which was bloody tip to the hilt. firs. Cooper hastened to the door to her husband, where she fell down exhausted. Mr. Cooper's sister was taken away, aid dressed by a doctor, and I h .ve not seen her since, (The poor an • an was much affected while giving her tea. tiniony, and particularly when the knife as, sheen to her.) W. T. Cooper. the deceased's son, was then examined.— Ile said, I was situ ig beside the fire. in the parlour, in the company of my father and mother, who were talking together, when Pollard, who is acquainted with my aunt, mate to my father's house, _an Friday evening, about half. past seven o'clock. Pollard came through the shop to the parlour door, and said lie wanted to see my aunt. My father said he should not come into the shop ; my aunt got up and went into the passage and spoke to Pollard. After some time 1 heard the street door sh u t and Pollard come to the parlour door. My father got up, and told Pollard that he wanted to go out and bring some of his things front his floor, where they were exhibited for sale. Pollard said he allottld oat en nut unless he allowed him to come in. 3ly father said he should not conic in, at d Pollard then stabbed him in the side with a large knife. Pollard then ran at me with the knife, evidently with the intention to stab me also; but I took up the poker and knocked the knife out of his hand. I think I also knottted his hat off, for I saw it lying on the ground. I then ran past Pollard, and although he placed his foot against the door to prevent me front going nut, I squeezed past him, got into the Street, and went over to Mr. Chadwick, and requested hint to come to my father's assistance. When I returned to the house, I found my father lying at the door. find. I did not hear any more words pass between Pollard and my father, further than my father saying he should not conic into the bowie, and Pollard saving he should not go nut finless he allowed him to come in. I am now between 13 and 14 years of age. I did not see Pollard strike my mother or my aunt, al t hough I have heard they were wounded. H. Parker, a lad 14 years of age, said, I reside at No. 4, Mary. lebone.court. I was errand boy to Mr. Cooper. I was there when Pollard came on Friday atternooa, and he inquired for Mr. Cooper's sister. The old lady told him she was not at home, and he called again about half-past seven in the evening, I saw him come into the shop in the evening, and pass towards the parlour. Mr. Cooper said he should not enter i to his pl..ce. Ile then went into the passage, where lie was joined by Mr. Cooper's sister, and they continued in conversation for sonic time. 1 saw hint go to the street door, and sharpen the knite on the step of the door, and he then returned it to his breast. I hid behind the door, because I thought that Pollard intended to meth the ; I thought so. because I saw him exhibit the knife. Pollard went to the parlour door, and Mr. Cooper got up, attd said he wished to take in his goods r. but Pollard said he should not go out unless he allowed him to came in. ll'hen Poll aid came in, he 'raid, " Where is Cooper ?" or " Wslliam Cooper !" I heard my master call out " Olt !" as if he had been hurt or disorient - al, and then I called the watchman.— I did not hear my mistress cry out. The Coroner said the facts scented to be extremely clear. There could be no 'nub,. 11:11W1 looking at the evidence, accompanied by the man's own admission. that he (Joseph Pollard) was the man who murdered Mr. Cooper. Mr. Wilinott, one of the Jury, said, they considered that the sister of Mr. Cooper ought to be brought before them, and ex amined. . _ ... . ...... The Coroner maid, he did not see any nereasity for calling the woman. If they were examining wirneaaes for cutting and maim ing the woman, they might then examine all the witnesses they could bring forward t 3 multatamiate that tact. Air. Wilmott said. it wag remarkable that the woman did not cry out for a‘sistatice. By her not crying out, he thought she was privy to !ht. tranioretion. . . . ..... . The Coroner said, that the woman was herself wounded, and confined in the Infirmary in a dangerous state, and could not be brought forward. The imputation against her, now suggested, was in the highest degree absurd and unfounded. The Jury consulted together, and then the Fireman said, they were desirous of having the sister of 31r. Cooper examined. ('ironer—Why, good Go& Gentlemen ! if I thought she could be of any service t t you. I would have her sent for, but I really do not see what she could prove. %Vito could have stabbed Mr Cooper hot Pollard?—could the son have stabbed him with the poker? Here, then, you have the evidence of one person who saw him shay pen the knife and thenreturf it to his br..ast ; and of another who heard him inquire for William Cooper; and when he saw the person for whom he inquired. he :cabbed him to he heart, and for what ? merely because he said he should not conic into his house. Why. any man was justified in refusing ad pittance to such a fellow ; if he was not, no man's 1 e woull he his castle. • There could be no doubt that this man. Joseph Pollard, did commit this murder. and, upon considering the evidence of the old lady, there can be no doubt that he atahhed himself; hut there is no evidence to prove in what state of mind he was in at the time. The Jury consultetl tnnether, and then maid that they had no doubt but Pollard did kill Conner; the only doubt they entertained was, thrther rooper'a sit.ter, on account of her not crying out, was not a patty to the transaction. Comner—Why, Gentlemen, you must give the woman credit for any fear she might have experienced on the occa►ion. If you had the woman before you. and if it were proved that there eslsted the closest con. eition between the woman and Pollard ;. cut even sup. posing they hid alert together the night previous, could you ask the woman if she was a party to the transaction ? If you did, I should tell her nut to answer the question. The Jury once more consulted together, and the Foreman said— '• Our verdict in. that James Pollard did go with a malignant in tention to murder William Co.mer."—.l verdict of Wilful Alurder against James Pollard, was then recorded. The inquest on the body of Pollard was then postponed until Tuesday at one o'clock, and the Court then adjourned, at a quarter before 12 o'rlock. At the close of the inquest, it was proposed by the Jury to rsise • subscription to reward Jepp for his bold and manly conduct in taking Pollard into custody.

The benign yet powerful properties of that most es teemed enametic, Rowland'a Ralydor, stands pre-eminent; it thoroughly exterminates eruption, tan, pimples, freckles. r e d ness . and all cutaneous imperfection whatsoever; arrays the neck, hands, and army, in matchless whiteness; bestows on the complexion a juvenile bloom ; diffusirg a pleasing and refreshing coolness; re novates b•atity when on the decline, realizes it where before absent, and sustains it in pristine splendour to the latest periods of life ; to mothers nursing their offspring it is essentially serviceable in heal ing soreness, and reducing inflammation, so frequently following this otherwise pleasing pursuit of maternal affection. To Gen flamer), Rowland'a Kalytior will he found an infallible specific in allaying the smarting irritability of the face, and will render shay. ing (heretofore a painful, now) a plessurable operation. That the Kalrior elicits these felicitous results, one trial will suffice to prove, and satisfactorily establish its reputation.
