Mr. Harmer attended for Mr. Leftwich and Allen, and Mr. Humphries for Roberts. It will bo recollected, that an exami nation of Taylor and Douglas took place about a week ago, 'when, by the evidence of several of the officers. it appeared that they were taken in the act of rentoving the corn, Taylor, by the assistance of a windlass. lowering it to Douglas into a barge from the loft of the granary of Messrs. Begby and Ferran. The case was now gone Into as far as regarded William Taylor and Thomas Tibbutt. Thomas Taylor stated, that he is a granary-keeper to Meson. Begby and Ferran, and the prisoners were in the employment of that house, and that he was latterly in the habit of messing large ea:unities of corn, and upan one particular occasion, out of a parcel of wheat, he found there was a deficiency of 22 quarters. This was one year ago. Thomas Leftwich stated that he is a miller in Bermondsey, anti that in September, 1825, the prisoner Tibbutt came to him, and said that he had a quantity , of' wheat to grind ; he cannot say what that quantity was, but he presumes that it was about 14 quarters, in consequence of his getting two sacks of it as toil for the grinding. Greer, a baker, of Wapping, knows Tibbutt and Taylor, about • v.& ago he bought some flour from Tibbutt; he stated that the flour was the property of Taylor, who was a young man just come from tl.e country, who had bought some wheat for grinding. He took six auks flour from him—i , insole very inferior description. He was going to return it, but Ttlibutt made him an allowance, and he kept it. lie sent two seeks of ft to Bermondsey work house, as he has the contract for it. lie paid Taylor for it, and got stamp receipts, end they are dated in I ktober. William Leftwich sated, that in October kat Tibbutt MOO to hint, and stated that lie hid five sacks of flour, which he bought front him. Ile gave him 121. 10e. for them. He had known him a length of time, and he always considered him a hard-working plodding man. Jams Varney, baker, of 31illpond.street, %Vanning, stated, that in September 13N4 he purchased nine sacks of flour Iron Tibbutt, for which he paid him 221. It was of a very inferior description, only fit to make gingerbread. Tibbutt delivered it himself in his own cart. The flatir was invoiced to him in the name of tiodnian. The case was LOW gone Into as regarded Fruin and Allen. T. C. Fletcher stated, that he has a skiff. and that be had fre quently been in the habit of lending it to Allen. David .lones stated that he resides with his father, who is in the habit of letting out sacks, and on reference tolhis book he finds that on the ilth of Februar4 he lent the prisoner Allen sixteen sacks ; on the Dith of Maw , sixteen; on the 23d, twenty ; and on the 4th of August, sixteen. They were all marked Wm. R. Jones. Allen told him, on getting dicin, that he wanted them to pitt wheat in. Rook, foreman to Mr. tromp. of Phrenix-wharf, mated, that on reference to his hook, he found that he Nut landed at the following periods, the fallowing quantities of wheat, from the pri soners Allen and Douglas, for Mr. Joverh Leftwich, and the greater part of which, by the directions or him, he sent to Mole Mills.

Witness staicti that the corn was always delivered by Douglas or Alien, and in sacks; and some of the sacks had the name of Groves, and some the name of Jones, upon them. lie stated that the prisoner Leftwich said to him, previous to the arrival of either Allen or Douglas, that he expected some small weds of wheat from them. Mr. lianstEg here asked witness if Mr. Leftwich always came in the open day, without showing any anxiety to concealment, bat epevely as a matter of boriness.—The witness replied in the affirmative. W. Wall stated that he is in the employ of Mr. Bode, whose Wharf adjoins that of Messrs. liegby and Fatten, and recollects, about a month ago, seeing Allen in a skiff', receiving corn out of one of the lofts of the granary immetlia•ely abcrwa , ds ; it was imatal. lie saw the prisoners Fritin and Taylor come down, and subsequently be saw them altogether at the public house. Numerous other witnesses were examined, who went to prove the connexion of the parties. Mr. BA heat:rig v., under all the circumstances, said he should remand all the prisoners for a week. There wet e upwards of fifty witnesses in attendance. Mr. Evans, the chivt surveyar„ has been indefatigable in his exertions in procuring evidence. Bail to the amount of 5,0130/. was offered for Mr. Joseph Leftwich, but refused. UNGENEROUS THEFT. UtilON-Hats.._On Tuesday a respectable-looking person, who gave his name Curti* and represented himself a copperplate printer, attended at this niece, for the purpose of making the following complaint. He said that he was one of the Committee appointed to superintend at the Coburg theatre, during a play and other enter tainments, that were got up expressly for the relief of tile journey. men copperplate-printers resident in the inetropolic The trade. he said, at this period, was in a very depressed state, and great numbers of the workmen consequently oat of employment. A Committee was therefore formed, on whose suggestion, as a means of relieving those of the trade out of work, it was proposed that ap plication should he made to the proprietors of the Coburg for the loan of the house for one night, in order to try the experiment of a theatrical exhibition in aid of the distressed copperplate-printers. This application, Mr. Cures said, was attended with success, Mr. Davidge and the other gentlemen connected with the theatre hand. tiotnely offering it for the benefit wiihnitt any charge, except merely defraying the necessary expenses of the house on the occasion. ; Monday was therefore appointed for the benefit, and accordingly persons belonging to the trade were selected for the purpose of doing the duties, viz. receiving the cash, tickets, and checks, at the different entrances into the house. Mr. Curtis observed that he was one of the persons so employed, and having occasion to leave the house for a few moments, on getting outside, under the colonnade, he was surprised on hearing a female calling out, " Who wants a pit ticket?" He was satisfied that any . tickets for sale outside the theatre were stolen, and, with the intention of ascertaining this fact, lie approached the woman, and salted the 'lrk- of the ticket ? She replied that he alionld have a pit ticket for one shilling. lie asked her where she had got them, but she refused telling him. Ulti mately, however, at the watch-house, she acknowledged that she had purchased them of a constable who attends the theatre, at Cie rare of sixpence each ticket, the full price being two shillings. Under these circumstances, he (Mr. Curtis) now applied to the Magistrate, ia order that the constable alleged to have sold the tickets in the first instance should be compelled to attend, for the purpose of explaining the manner in which he hail become pos. sensed of property to which lie had not the smallest right. The Magistrate(Mr. SWABEY) gave directions that the most:dile implicated in the above affair, whose name is Stowell, should attend on the following day, that the circumstances might undergo a tho rough ins estigation ; the 3lagiatrate observing that, should the case be established against him, his discharge from the situation would be it matter of course.. Yesterday, at one o'clock, the investigation was resumed before J. S. Car.nwEt. t, the parties tieing ih attendance.— .Mr. Davidge, one of the proprietors, and several of the performers of the Coburg, were resent. Mr. Curtis, the complainant, repeated the statement he had made on the previous day, and in addition said, that he had ob tained tlwee of the tickets which the woman had for sale, and he was convinced they had been stolen out of a hat in which they were placed by a person appointed to receive the pit tickets as the com pany entered the theatre. Ile added that there was considerable difficulty in obtaining the name of the individual who sold the tickets to the female who was offering them for sale on the night in question. Shargold, a constable of the Surrey watchlrnuse. stated, that on 3loaday night Mr. Curtis, and a woman named Craig, entered the watchhouse, and severally charged each other with felctsy ; the for. me., it was alleged. had taken a ticket by force from the female, and he on his part accused her of stealing the ticket. In reply to the charge, the woman Craig, on questioning her at first, flatly re. fulled to tell of whom she purchased the tickets; at length, how , ever, calling hint (Shergold), she whispered in his ear, " I will confess to you from whom I hail them, but it must be a secret— then it was from Stowell, the constable, that attends the Coburg." Shergold observed that there must be no secrets, and she repeated, in the hearing of Mr. Curtis, that it was from Stowell she had purchased them. The woman Craig was examined by the Magistrate, :imitate persisted in declaring that it was from Stowell she had the tickets, and pointed him out in the office. It was here stated that the woman Craig was not to be believed on her oath. - . . . . Mr. Davidge gave Stowell a high character for his assiduity in the business he was appointed to, anti described these women who infest the doors of all theatres, selling tickets, as the great: st possi ble nuisances. He knew the woman Craig by sight, and was convinced she was not to be believed. Stowell declared that the woman had told a most abominable falsehood. The fact was, he was obnoxious to her on account of his attempts to expel her from the situation where she placed her self every night. and this story she had hatchet: up in order to be revenged upon him. The Magistrate closely questioned Mr. Curtis as to the precise place from whence the tiekets were stolen, and being informed thst they could not he taken without the knowledge of some of the persons appointed by the Committee, he accordingly discharged the case against StoweU, who appeared highly indignant at the charge, and at its conclusion observed, that he should bring persons forward on a future day who would prove that he was not out of the theatre on the niOit of the performance, therefore could nut be supposed to have had - any transaction with the woman Craig. SUICIDE.—On Friday last, a man, named Richard Higson, put an end to his life, by hanging himself in a barn, near the place where he lodged. It appeared upon the inquiry before Mr. Milne, at Ashton-under-Lyne, that the deceased had four years ago cut his throat, but on that occasion recovered; and evident proofs of insanity being adduced, the Jury found a verdict, " Lunacy." A few days ago, a most extensive robbery was committed in the Cheshire Cheese public-house, Oldham. The rob bery is said to he to the amount of 1481. in aovereigns and notes, which the landlady (a widow) had deposited as she thought in a place of safety. Suspicion has fallen on some soldiers, who were quartered at the house, and have since absconded. The most active search is being made after the suspected parties. _ SERIOCS ALARM IN A CHURCII.-At the new church, Whitefield, on Sunday last, an alarm took place, which, for some time, threatened very serious consequences. Soon after the commencement of the afternoon service, a panic seized some individuals under one of the galleries, which quickly spread through the whole congregation. At first, merely a confused murmur of danger was heard from the place above mentioned ; but the commotion of the people in its immediate vicinity soon alarmed the timid, who, without knowing on what ground gave vent to their fears, some in exclamations that the roof, others that the gallery was falling; and others, that the whole edifice had given way. The consequence was a general rush to the doors. Unfortunately, the building was crowded to exvss, and numbers of people were in the yard, unable to obtain admission. The alarm increased in proportion to the diffi culty of escape, and the pressure at the doors was so great, that one of then. was forced from its hinges. Numbers from the galleries descended on the heads of the dense mass below, being unable to get down stairs ' • others made their exit through the windows. Children and females were jammed in the common mass, and their cries for help were really appalling. On the outside of the doors, people of all ages and both sexes lay in heaps on the ground, having, in their eagerness to escape, fallen one over another. A great many respectable females had their upper garments and bon nets completely torn from their persons, and many gentlemen lost their hats, and had their dress considerably damaged. Happily, amidst the general confusion, though many re ceived severe bruises, there were no lives lost. One girl was considerably injured, but is now recovering. The cause' of the panic arose from some cracks which were observed in the plaster under one of the galleries, but these cracks have been found, after a careful examination by compe tent persons, to have arisen solely from the shrinking of the umber. in consequence of the late heat of the weather. The building itself has stood as severe a test as it can be subjected to, and has amply justified the opinion of the well-informed, as to its perfect security. Tranquillity was restored in the course of about an hotly, and the service proceeded, and was concluded in the usual annum CORONERS' INQUESTS. SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT LORD BELIIIORE'S.

On Tuesday evening an Intrtest was held by J. W. UNWIY, Coroner, at the London Hospital, on the body of ‘Villiath Taylor, who expired at that Institution on the previous evenic,t, from th e eff e cts, as alleged, of the bite of a dog. Richard Hirtwitistle casmined.—l am a pupil of this hospiul. OR the 2d of last month the deceased was hrought into this tutlon with a lacerated leg. He said that en that day, 'ldle walk ing near the hospital, he passed a man who was bleeding a there was another dog with him, which r a n a t hi s leg. and tore it in a most frightful manner. I dressed the wound, which was very extensive, aid considerably inflamed. !Symptoms of martiftestiou subsequently appearing, it was ciniaideied adtisable to have the lower part of the limb amputated. The operation was performed on Saturday last, and the deceased expired on 3lt•nday ev e ni ng . whi. e alive, he enmtlained severely of the danger of permitong such vicious animals to go at large without beirg muyied. The dilaa lotion of the deceased was, in my orinion, caused by the injuries lie bad sustained from the hitt. I{i hard 'i. ; ayiutexamined—l am the non of the deemed, sad lived with him in Weyer-street, Whitechapel. 1 Raw hi m e k w second day after the ac, ident, at the hospital. I hav sla te s een the owner of the dog, whose name is Hemmings; he lives in Albion-street, l'unimercial.road, and is a dog doctor. I mentioned to him the state my father was in from the furious attack of the animal. He acknowledged that it was his favourite dog, Tru e ,. worthy, that bit hill ; and, with much indifferecee, expresaed his surprise at his doing so, as he had fed him only a short time before. Ile also sail that Trustworthy had hit himself rot long since, very severely, in the leg, front the eft: c!s of which he had not meat then recovered Ile concluded by sayirg. I am sorry for the old gentleman. %Vanes% ale.. stated that liu had. on inquiry, lower. Wheel that Hemmings was a regular dog and badger lighter, and kelps a number of ferocious animals of both these descriptions, for that purpose. . - . - The Jury here proceeded to the dead-house to view the body. It was much discoloured, and the amputated limb presented a most re volting spectacle, both front the extent oil the wound, and the rapid progress of mortification. On their return the foregoing evklenze was read over, and the witnesses were about being sworn to its on, metrics., when one of the Jury, lir. Hairs ' remarked that it ap peared most extraordinary that a month a nd upwards should bay, been permitted to interven: without the necessey amputation being performed. From the present state of the limb, couplet) with the eircunistanzes of the man's dying in two days after it waW'taktn oft; it struck hint that a longer period than was pr -dent had been allowed to pass, and th it if the operation bad linen immediate, the deceased's life might have been preserved. (To the Pupil)—Was it you, Sit, who perforated this weeders The Pupil—No. Sir. It was performed by Mr. Andrews, ore of the !louse Surgeons. 111 r. Holes—Then that gentleman should have been in attendance to give his evidence. The Coroner (to the Pupils—Bur you were present when it was performed? The Po was, Sir. Coroner—Olt ! thai is all the same thing. [Theo, tuning to Mr. Hales, whose wish fur information did not seem very pa latablel, I had to complain of you before, Sir. I seek is your wish to attack the surgeons of this institution, if in your pewee. Mr. Hales—l am aware of your having complained of me be fore, but for whet possible reason I cannot discover, wiles% it be that, when 1 am called on perhaps several times in one week to inquire into the very numerous cases of death which take place at this in stitution, my conscience will not permit me to countenance the very shameful rapidity and negligence with which the enoceedinge are conducted. This I suppose it is that has incurred your displea sure; but that to toe is a nuttier of perfect indiffitence. I am a householder of this parish, and am not to be deterred from an honest discharge of my duties as a Juror; and I again repeat it, iik! House Surgeon should hare been present, and this business thoroughly inquired into. Coroner—lf you have any complaint to snake against me, you may do so in the Court of King ' s Bench, and there I dare say I shall be able to answer you. Mr. Hales—The shamecul manner in which inquests are con ducted here is well knewn in the neighbourhood. lam astonished it has not already, through the press, reached the ears of the public. I see a reporter now present; and if he does not discharge his duty by giving a full and impartial account of this day's very extraor dinary proceedings, I shall do so myself. The pupil, in answer to some further questions from the Jury, slid that subsequent to the deceased's being brought to the Hoe. pital, and long previous to his death, a consubet ion was held on his situation, the result of which was, that his constitution was consi dered Soo feeble to undergo the ettputation. At length, as an ul terior remedy, it did take place ; and it was his opinion, that if it had not been performed the deceased would not here survived so long. A Pier ripest deal of desultory conversation, in which there ape peered considerable discrepancy of opinion as to the cause of the deceased's death, whether arising from the bite, or the delay in amputation, The Coroner desired the foreman to bring the question to issue by a show of hands, which being done, and there appearing a ma jority in favour of the former, a verdict of " Died by a late of a dog" was recorded. The question of deodand was next to be determined on, and a letter was handed in by a person present, expressing a hoe (ha: such a one would be imposed as wonitl either lead to the destruction of the fetoeious animal, or teach .its master that be could not with impunity permit it to roam about, endangeriog the lives of his Alto jestr's subjects. 'I he Coroner observed that the law of eleedand wet not applicable to the canine species, and consequently he could not comply with the request. He would, however, give directions to the be tole to call nn the owner and see that the reimal was destroyed. Mr. Hales again differed with the Coroner. The law of deodand, he remarked, according to its own express terms, was, " Thet any thing moving or appertaining to the death of an indivi.lual" was liable to the imposition ; and he contended that it was just as apple able to the dog as to a horse. 3lr. Hales. however, lieding no sup port, the subject dropped ; after which the finding on the inquist. tion was handed round for signature, but on its reaching Me Ilaies he declined attaching his name to it. Coroner (in a tone of irritation)—What are the reasons, Sir, of your refusal ? Mr. Hales —They are of a twofild nature : in the first pisee; am of opinion that the unfortunate man died, not from the injuries he originally received, but from the delay in die amputation, and its being performed at an improper time; and in the tweeted place, the surgeon who performed it rot being in at:et:duce, we are de prived of the evidence the case requires, and what has beeu offered does not justify the verdict. Coroner— Pray, Sir, what is your name, and where do you lire? Mr. Hales—My name is Hales. and my house is opposite White chapel church. The Coroner minutely took down both the name and address, but for what . purpose it is impos4ble fur us to determine, so we leave its solution to the public. MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. ‘VEUNESDAY, SEPT. 20. We had a few fresh arrivals this morning from the Suffolk court. wit!) about 10,000 quarters of foreign Oats.
