The CHAIRMAN said. that at the last Meeting of the Share holders, oeetain resolutions were !sassed, and a Committee ap. pointed, to open a correspondence with the Directors, to endeavour to obtain a return of the deposits which thee had paid upon their shares ; in consequence of which the Committee addressed the fill ' lowing letter to the Secretary, Mr. Lane. which, with his answer, Le shoehl beg 'mead to the Meeting:— •• To the Directors of the Imperial Distillery Company. gentle.nen,—" We hag leave to hand you the enclosed ropy of resolutions whirl, took place at the General Meeting of the Subscribers, at the 'New England Coffee-house, on Saturday last, Sod request you will he on otioni an to inform us when it will suit your ronvenience to actin'e m to a rot ference with your Board on the subject of the said resolutions.

The following is Mr. Lane's answer.— " Imperial Distillery Company. 9, Mark-lane, " Sir, Alarch 182 fi . " I am desired by the Directors of the Company to acknowledge the receipt of a letter addressed to them, signed by yourself end Messrs.

" I am, your very obedient servant* " WILLIAM LANE, Secretary. " To Charles Chitty, ?;sq." The CHAIRM•N observed, that by Mr. Lane's letter it appeared that the Directors do not consider any Shareholder had a right to inquire what has become of his property, except those who have signed the Deed of Settlement. He had called frequently at the Office of the Company, for the purpose of seeing the Directors, but he neither could obtain an interview with them or the Secretary. A Shareholder inquired, were those who had signed the Deed to be placed on the same footing with those who had not? (Hear.) The CHAIRMAN replied, that he believed that the Direc tots intended that those who bad not signed the Deed should be precluded from any benefit that would probably arise on the dissolution of the Company. Ile had signed the Deed of Settlement, from the operation of which he considered him. a& exonerated, as the advantages held forth in the prospectus had nut been realised. It stated that the Company would issue 10.000 shares, whereas only 2,300 had gone to the public; and it was well known that the rest were kept hack in hopes of getting them up to a premium, and that the Directors themselves had purchased 700 shares in expectation of producing that effect. (heat) But, really, how to manage such Company-mongers he was at a loss to say—to bring them into Chancery would be folly in the extreme. _ _ _ After a peat deal of desultory eonversatin between the Share holders and the Chairman, _ . _ Mr. W.

THEATRICAL ROW AT PHILADELPHIA. [From the Philadelphia Freeman's Journal, April 1111 At the theatre on Monday night last a scene occurred, the like of which we have 'never before witnessed. Mr. 'Wemyss, in playing the character of Harry Herbert, in ,C'olambus, when he uttered a certain speech in which oc curs a passage, " die like a brave Englishman," was saluted with four or five hisses from the pit. The audience, bold ing Mr. Wemyss as a great favourite, deemed this an in sult to him, as he was merely performingliis duty, and that with great ability, and therefore expressed their opinion by loud plaudits. Mr. iVemyss then came forward, and ad dressed the audience to this effect:— " batik'', and Gentlemen—l cannot help perceiving that this ex. preasion of feeling alludes to a certain passage which has just oc curred in the part—to prevent any mistake, and to exhibit the source from which the hissing may come, I deem an explanation Decessatly. After the part containing these words had been placed fa rty hands, and had been studied by me, Mr. Wood, the mane gsr, insisted upon my striking out the passage. I asked him for the necessity, and mentioned my right to retain them according to the author. I said that the American people had too much good sense to deny that there are such in existence as • brave English. seen.' Mr. Wood then swore by the that if I did not tom ply with his request (he had no right to Order me), he would do many things to injure me, and would make me pay a heavy forfeit.' Then we parted, and I have played the play of the author as hand ed to me 'ay the prompter. For this, some few have hissed me. Now, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am an Englishman—l have a country and If, for a manager's threats, out of the line of his duty, I am to be ashamed of it, I should consider myself truly despicable and unworthy of this or any ether country. What would you think of an American, who should appear upon the English stage, aril who, because a blustering tyrannical manager should threaten him, would omit a certain passage, 6 as brave as an American ?' Would you not esteem him a dastard and a coward ? I trust to f ore good sense for protection and fair treatment." Mr. Wemyss retired, the house ringing with applause. At the conclusion of the foregoing speech, Mr. Wood, the manager, had come upon the stage. When the noise had subailled, lie addresse d the audience in these words T— . ••• Ladi es and Gentlemen—Thus called upon to defend myself, I am in an unpleasant situati.m. Ido assure you that I never meant to offend this or any other audience. Mr. Weinyas is in error in imputing to me the hisses a irk which he was assailed. After the conversation I had with him I never mentioned the subject out of the house. I will explain the reason why I called upon Mr. ernyre to expunge cerytin words. My predecessor, Mr. Wig n3ll, many years since. when a foolish feeling on 'objects' relating to this and the mother country exiate.el, erased these words from the play. I played Ihrry IferLcat, and I omitted them. I thought to follow the usage of the theatre, and therefore demanded of Mr. Weniss to omit them. But 1 know nothing of this excitement. I did not set it on. I respect Englishmen lam descended, and base many friends and connexions amongst them. I have been threatened with personal violence—l do my duty, and demand pro tect ioo." When Mr. Wood concluded, clap, hisses, and cries of Off, off," resounded through the house. Mr. Wrmys3 ag lin stepped forward, and said— •' ladies and Gentlemen—Allow me one word. Ilir. Wood has frequently boasted behind the curtain, ' that lie could turn the Phi. 1. :Aphis audience around his lingers.' under any circumstances. upon all other occasion■. I most cnt.l'e.s he has the gift of %reel more than I have. He has threatened my life ; that Ido no: mini: but, under exci'emert. I did say, that if he continued bin sys:c:n of persecution, I would thra.lt him. If the public knew Al that occurs in the theatre, they would soon ascertain where the error is." Here the audience again applauded, and Mr. Wemyss retired. Mr. Wood again replied in general expreadions of hid good motives, but he was so interrupted with hisses, cries of " Off! Baa ! Get out ! The play !" that we could not understand him. The play then proceeded, and when ever Mr. Wcmyss app.arell on the stage, he was received with marked and determined applause. When Mr. Wood appeared, plaudits and hisses were intetiningled. The whole scene we have described lasted about half an hour. This occurrence is much to be regretted, but, as it was, Mi. Went nit came off victorious. The grand triennial Music M.-ming at Birmingham Is to take place this year.

In this ease there were two petitions, the one presented by the Attorney-General, on the part of the Crown, praying that the report of the Master might be confirmed, and that certain sums in the hand of the defendant might be ordered to be paid to him, as the Solicitor of the Crown ; the other a cross-petition, praying that the report of the Muter might not be confirmed, but that his Honour might direct an inquiry as to whether there were any sums of money due to the Crown. The So tacITOR-GENERAL and Mr. RAY, upon the part of the Crown. stated that the sums they sought were balances of money paid into the hands of Messrs. Bishop and Brummell, who were army agents, for the purpose of paying to the of fi cers to whom they were agents, and which not being claimed by the officers, the Crown now sought to have restored. That the Crown had a legal right to read those sums, had been repeatedly decided, so that there could be no doubt on that head ; and they therefore hoped his Honour would concede to the prayer of the petition. Mr. SHADWELI. contended that the Master did not report that there were certain balanceadue to the Crown ; he merely reported that there were such and such balances. Now he (Mr. Shadwell) would contend that these balances were not due to the Crown. The Crown paid certain sums into the hands of the agents, for the pur pose of paying to the officers of the regiments far which they trans. acted business. The agents had carried to the accounts of the officzra those sums, and of course the Government had no longer any claim upon them. The agent was not merely the agent of the Crown, but also of the officers. He gave security to the Colonel, and the Colonel it was that was held responsible by Government. Besides, it did not follow that, although those sums had not yet been claimed, they would not be hereafter; and the agents having once carried those sums to the accounts of the respective officers, they had by so doing rendered themselves responsible for ever, for in such a case no act of limitation could relieve them from that responsibility. The VICE-CHANCELLOR remarked that in some cases the officers made their agents their bankers also, and in that case cer tainly the Crown could have no claim. Mr. SHADWELL replied that that was not the case in the present instance. Mr. PM'S followed on the same side. Ile said that the present case differed from those which had been decided, because in this one the money had actually been carried to the accounts of the re. spective officers. There was a clause at present pending, that of Ross and Ogilvie, In which the Crown was seeking to get back from the estate of the bankrupts the moneys which they had paid into their hands as a debt due to the Crown, in order to protect the officers. This was a cue in point, but it had not as yet been de. cided. The agents in those cases were not the agents of the Go vernment, but of the individual. The A'ICEXIIANCELLOR observed, that the Colonel of the regiment was the actual Agent, and payment to him would not be an acquittal of the public to the Officers. Mr. PEP vs said, that any Officer had a right of action against the agent, and the question was, whether they could rid themselves of such an action by paying back the money to the Crown. The Vlce.CmaiNcsa.i.oft said that if he paid a sum of money to A, for the purpose of paying a debt due to B, and if B never claimed the money, urely he hada rigid to take it back from A. Mr. PEPYS said that the Bank of England were the undoubted Agents of the Government, and yet Government were compelled to get an Act of Parliament before they could deal with the unclaimed dividends. The VICE•CHANCELLOR asked what mode of inquiry Mr. Shadwell could suggest to be pursued. Mr. SItADWELL thought it might be sent to the Court of King's Bench. The question as to whether there was or was not a debt duc to the Crown, was a legal question. Ile thought the same question might be sent to the Court of King's Bench as had been submitted to the Master. The SoLiclToll-OENERAL, in reply, said that those agencies were at all times revocable by the Government, and it therefore necessarily followed that Government had the power of wi t h draw. ing all balances in their hands not actually paid over. The Vica-CitawcaL Loa said that be felt very much disposed to send the questiot• to another Court, to which it more properly belonged, if he thought it could be done without any great in convenience. It was not on account of any difficulties that he telt upon the subject. but rather on account of its great importance, and that it might be finally settled. He did not think that the Court of King's Bench or Common Pleas were proper Courts to send the question to; the Court of Exchequer, which was a Court of Reventr, was the more proper Court to send it to ; and if the parties could settle a case between this and Monday, to be tried in that Court. the question being whether the estates of the agents were accountable for the balances found in the Master's report, he would agree to its being an sent ; but it before Monday they could agree upon no case, he would then give his opinion.

The plaintiff's in this cause are hankers, and they brought the present action to recover from the defendant the sum of SO/. paid to Min in error. 31n. Sergeant WI unr. and Mr. Caurnrr.r. conducted the plaiotifrs ea‘e, and Mr. Sergeant ADAMS and Mr. HUTCHINSON the defendant's. The facts of the case are these:—The defendant formerly kept cash with the old firm, which' was, Williams, Williams. and Co., whose business had been transferred to the present firm of Williams, Deacon,and Co. The defendant's account was transferred amongst the rest. On the 17th of July, there wait inserted in the pass-book of the defendant 604 and another sam of 60/. was inserted on the 17th of August. In the month of November the pass-book was made up by the bankers, and at that time the last entry was on the 17th of July, and the first entry which followed was that of the 17th of August. The new firm conitnenced business on the 2d of January last, and on the :i.ft the defendant took the pass-book to them to be tootle up. It was made up accordingly; but the clerk, in doing this, discovered that the entry of July 17th should have been the 17th of August, and that an error of 60/. had been the ennsetrience. It was proved by the plaintiff's' books, in which entries were made directly customers paid money into the house,' that there had been but one entry of 50/. ; and when the clerk ilia. covered the error he struck one of the 301. out of the pass-book. Defendant remonstrated with him on this, and insisted that he paid in the money himself ; but it turned out that the 17th of July was un a Sunday. The defendant's son was called for the defence, who said he saw the entry of the 17th of July on the 24th of that month. lle had an entry of his own, winch enahltd him to speak positively as to the day. Only his father was present when lie saw the entry. Examined by the LOH D CHIEF JUSTICE—He would not swear the ink in his memorandum-book had been there twelve months. Ile could not swear when it was entered. Ile would not swear that it had been entered within a week; but he would swear it had not been entered within 21 hours. Ills Lofts:m][llP then summed up. If the Jury believed the son, or if they thought the entry hail been made with plaintifile know.l ledge of the circumstances, they must find a verdict fut the de fendant ,• but if not, their v er di ct must he few the plaintiffs.

The parties are Jew merchants, melding, the former in lifansell street, and the latter in Great Pre:scot-street, Goodman's-fields. They had had several bill and money transactions with each other, with the result of which neither party was satisfied, and the consequence of one of these transactions had been the instituting • proceeding in Chancery by the plaintiff's sister, against the defendant. On the day named in the indictment, the plaintiff happening to meet the defendant, asked how the Chancery suit wan going on, and in reply was told that his sister had be t ter take care how she made her affidavits, or they would nail her for perjury. The plaintiff replied, " it other persons were as scrupulous as his sister, there would be very few indictments for that offence." As soon as be had finished speaking. the defendant struck hint violently in the mouth. For this assault a warrant was obtained the setue day, and the defendant held to bail. Several witnesses were called on both sides ; those for the de fence giving a very different version of the transaction. The Jury, after • short consultation, returned a verdict of —" The Cu ORMAN said, judging from the manner of the parties in that Court, lie felt convinced there was much ill-blood between them ; and he should, therefore, to prevent its future ebullition, sentence the defendant to pay a fine of 6s. 11+1., and enter into his Own recognizance to keep the peace fur • year. POLICE. MANSION.HOUSE. IMPORTANT TO SHIPOWNERS AND CAPTAINRCNARGE OF WILFULLY DETAINING A SHIP'S REGISTER.—An in formation was laid on the statute 6th 6eo. IV. cap. 110, sec. 27, against Robert Shewan, Captain of the brig Diana, just arrived from the coast of Africa, the owners, Messrs. Williamson and %Yawn, who attended with their Solicitor, before Alderman Lc VAX. The Captain said he was not guilty. '. 111 r. DOBLER, jun. stated, that the Alderman should be inform ed how is happened that the Captain appeared before him. The ship was vent from Liverpool to the Isles de boss, on the coast of Africa, last year. Soon after her arrival there, the then Captain died, and after him the mate, and the nest in command. No Offi. ter having been left in the ship, application was made by the con signee of the cargo to the Naval Officer on that station, for sonic person to navigs.te her. The Officer had no person to whom to en trust this charge. The consignee of the cargo was therefore obliged to select sonic person himself to undertake the duty • and Captain Shewan, master of a vessel in that part of the world, accepted the command. Ills name was indorsed on the Register in the regular way. Ile brought the ship to London ; had reported her in the Custom-house, and exhibited his payers and the Register to the proper Officer. The Captain had disbursed considerable semi on account of the ship, and amongst other things, to take up fresh hands to assist in navigating into the Thames, on account of the sickness of part of the crew; he had sent his account to the Owners, and was ready to verify it by vouchers. The Owners offered to refer the account to two brokers, to which the Captain had agreed, anti he therefore considered himself entitled to detain the Register, until the matter should be (settled. Mr. COTTERELL said there had been a wilful detainer of the Register, after a recuest to deliver it up to the proper officer. Alderman Lucas desired to see the Act of Parliament, and he carefully perused the section on which the information was founded ; after which Mr. COTTERELL proceeded to the examination of a witness. Mr. James O'Leary, of No. 13, Mincing-lane, merchant, de. posed, that he knew Mr. Williamson to be part owner of the brig Diana. Was present when Mr. Williamson called on the defend ant, and required him to surrender the Register. The defendant said he would not give it to any person. Witness mentioned the penalty ofa refusal. Mr. If onctit asked the witness whether he was an officer of his Majesty's Customs?—The witness replied in the negative; and also admitted that no demand had been made by an officer of the Customs in his presence. Alderman LUCAS then asked the defendant several questions,. to which answers were given to the following effect :—He had, on ar riving in London, accompanied by the con‘ignee of the cargo here, gone to the Custom.house, and produced his Register and Mani fest; and had, by the written direction of the owners, carjed the ship to Fresh.wharf, to unload. Mr. COTTERELL then observed, that the Captain was subject to the penalty ; as, on his arrival in London, he had been dismissed the command, and therefore had no right to detain the Register, after the request had been made. As to the Captain's account, it had been sent in, but not accompanied by vouchers. Mr. NOBLER objected that it had not been proved that the de tention was " wilful:" there was no evidence that the Captain had refused/0 deliver up the Register to the proper officer. Until a refusal to him, there was no ground for the owner's complaint. Mr. COTTERELL said, he had shown the detention to be " wil ful," as the demand had been made by the owner, and not com. plied with. Mr. Williamson, one of the owners, said he had repeatedly re quested the Captain to deliver up the Register, but without effect. Alderman LUCAS asked whether the Captain had signed bills of lading for the delivery of the cargo. Mr. 11011tER said he had; and that fact furnished him with another objection ; for until the cargo was delivered the Captain continued Captain, and was entitled to hold the register for all the lawful purposes of the ship. Mr. COTTERELL said the cargo bad been consigned to a person with whom it appeared the Captain was in league. Mr. l)esborough, solicitor of the consignee, said that he could not be correct, for the consignee advanced him money on account of the ship, and it was agreed that his accounts should go to arbi tration. After some further conversation, in which it was stated that the owners had, vi el arnai , , got possession of the ship, and removed her from the wharf, and that the Captain had, by similar means, redeemed her, Alderman LUCAS said, it appearcd to him that, according to the Act, there must be a " wilful" detention of the register. Now the Captain had complied with the law on arriving in London. This must have been correct, for the ship could not be allowed to be cleared if it were not so; and the lawful occasions of the ship had not been prevented. The Captain, by having signed bills of lading, was personally responsible for the safe delivery of the cargo as vr, II as accountable for the freight; for on landing the goods he was enti. tied to recover the freight for which he had to answer to the Owners. The Captain, therefore, could not be considered as dismissed from the command of the ship until the whole of the cargo wasdelivered. The Captain might take the indemnity of the Owners against any consequences ; but it was at his option to accept of the indemnity. This was bis view of the case t but if the parties ph.!sed, they might wait to get the Lord Mayor's opinion next day. He (Alder man Lucas) considered himself bound to dismiss the information, and he at the same time handed the register to the Captain, and di rected him to be ready at all time; to produce it when required by a Custom-house officer. We uhdcrstand that the Captain was taken into custody two or three days before, on a werant by the Lord 3layor, who, when the defendant came to the Mansion-house, late in the afternoon, with the officer, required hits to shew the register. His Lordship then impounded the register, and kit the Captain at liberty on his parole. GUT 14DI1 A LL. Mr—lttonmene, the landlord of the Axe, in Grub-street, ap peared, in coteuquence of a quantity of razors, clothes, hair, rail and tooth brushes, a large heap of curls and tails for lawyers' wigs, Mr. Sergeant Spankie's silk gown, and other articles ' all stolen from a hair.dresser's shop iu the Temple, h av ing been discovered on he premises. Hawkins, the mershalman, stated that the shop of Mr. Darby. near the Cloisters, in the Temple, was entered by means of false keys on sunday night, and property of considerable value carried off. Upon information that some person in company with Mr. Montague had offered one of the stolen brushes for sale, applic ttion had been made at this office for a warrant to search the public. house, but it was refused because the parties were not able to make out a sufficient ground. He however afterwards accompanied them to Mr. Montague's, where permission was given him freely to search every part of the house, and in one of the lodgers' rooms he found the mass of property now produced. Mr. Montague, in answer to some questions from the Aldirman, said the room where the articles were found was wholly occupied by a man named Williams, who came there to lodge about a fort night ago. He received him without making any inquiries after character. On Tuesday he met his lodger in V. hitecross-street, who asked him if he knew where he could sell a quantity of brushes. He introduced Williams to a Mr. M`Donald. Williams had not returned since the marshalman'a visit, of which he was no doubt aware.. Mr. Sergeant Spanhie's gown, and another belonging to a Bar rister, were ordered to be restored immediately, but the rest of the property was retained for the present. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Thomas .11f•Kensnian, William Archer, and J ames Ilardinz,the three men who have been twice betimes examined on suspicion of being concerned in the burglary at the Hon. Henry Stanhope's, Ilan's-place, Sloane.atreet, were brought up for a final hearing. Morris informed Sir R. Birnie that there was no other evidence forthcoming, when Sir IL Iberia said, that there was no material circumstance stated by any unsuspected person, corroborative of the testimony of Tonics, and without some corroboration his evidence was not worth a rush. Ile had, according to his owo showing, been last in possession of the property, which was the produce of the bur glary ; and he must be detained until further inquiry could be made. Several persons, whose houses had been broken into and robbed, were in atteudace to look at the prisoners, but no one could iden. tify them. They were discharged, and Tenks was remanded till Tuesday next. Sir R. LitRNIE signifying bit wish that Mr. Stanhope should then attend, as it would be desirable to know whether or not he had made any promise to Tonka before he brought the stolen pro. , party to him. Wm. Williams, the youth suspected of the burglary in the house of Mr. Harrison, printer, Bedford-street, was again brought up ; and there being no further evidence against him, he was also discharged. HATTON-GARDEN. Crtnrotra CASE.—Yesterday Thomas Turk, a blacksmi t h, w h o was tried at th e Middl esex Sessions for an assault no his wife, the very day of their marriage, and on a second indictment for beating his wife's father, came Wore the Magistrates of this ' office, to solicit advice he, to act under the following extraordinary circumstances : Turk stated, that, however violently he might seem to have acted on his wedding-day, yet his wife's subsequent conduct had fully justified his jealous suspicions with respect to her; for ever since that day she had been living with another man, a black. smith, and one whom he ever esteemed as a true friend. But the fact was, they only wanted to make him a convenience, by en. trapping him into the marriage, she being then supposed to be in a state of pregnancy by the other. Since the trial he had heard nothing about her, except that she was living in a house in Monk well-atreet, Whitechapel, with her paramour, who it seems treated her with great severity. However, on Tuesday evening, whilst he was out at his work, the unfortunate woman was brought to his lodgings a corpse, site having poisoned herself in a fit of despondency, on the preceding day. The body was enclosed in a common shell, and the men who brought it said that the I landlord of the house where deceased committed the rash act would not suffer it to remain thcre, and had sent it to him for burial, as her husband, the paramour declining to pay the ex. penses attendant on the funeral. He consulted with some friends as to how he should act, and was given to understand that, as the marriage had never been consummated, he could not be considered responsible as her husband; but, notwithstaniing all this, he could not bear to see the remains of a woman for whom he once entertained a sincere regard lying unburied, and he went to an un dertaker's, for the purpose of having it removed ; a new difficulty was then started, for the poor woman, having lodged in the house previous to the marriage, had contracted a debt of 81. or 9/. with the landlord, and when the undertaker's men came to perform their office the landlord laid s detainer on the body, and would not suffer it to be taken away until his demand was satisfied. The applicant added, that it was with great difficulty he could make up money to pay the expenses of interment, but the discharge of the debt was altogether out of his power. The body was now lying there, none of the woman's friends having come forward to interest themselves about her; and he (Turk) wished to know whether the Magistrates could direct him how to act ? Mr. Sergeant SELLON—Do you mean to say that the woman committed suicide ? Turk—Yes, your Worship, I have been informed that she swallowed poison. Mr. Sergemt SELLOW—Then there shou:d be a coroner's in. quest summoned, to inquire into the cause of her death. Turk—l have been told that there was a Jury summoned for that purpose, but I am not certain that any inquiry has taken place, and I confess 1 have myself some doubts as to her death. Mr. Sergeat. SELLOx—We can du nothing for you ; if you can ascertain that a Coroner's Jury has not sat on the body, you should go to the parish officers and consult with them ; they no doubt will advise ynu how to act. Turk—But, please your Worship, if the landlord would allow it, I would have the body decently interred for humanity's sake. The Magistrates. however, observed, that justice required that the case should be thoroughly investigated; and the Coroner, when the Jury was satisfied, would make the usual order for interment. Turk said lie would follow their Worships' advice and retired. MA R Y-LE-BON E OFFICE. John Cot►le was remanded tor further examination, on a charge of arson and robbery in the house of John Stokes, 5, Wilderness. row, Chelsea. The case vaned principally upon the identity of the prisoner, who denied that his name was Cuttle. We do not consider it necessary at present to go into the particulars of this case, as it will probably be fully heard on a future day. LAMBETH-STREET. JOHNSON awn Campion, a pawnbroker, carrying business in tile Whitechapel.road, appeared before the sitting Magistrates, on an information laid by Johnson, charging him with having. contrary to the Pawnbrokers' Act, neg. lected to specify on a duplicate, given at his shop on the 22i1 of March lest, the name of the per-ton who had pledged the article therein mentioned, his residence, or whether lie was a house. keeper or lodger, for each of which the Act makes him liable to a penalty not exceeding lOL or less than 40s. The defendant was convicted in the penalty of 4ds. which he paid. MR. E. G. TVAKEFIELIYS COMMITTAL. An adjourned examination of the circumstances connected with the singular abduction of Miss Turner, took place on Tuesday, at the Ram's Head Inn, Dialey, Cheshire, before W. G. NEWTON, Esq., S. P. HUMPHRIES, Esq., and G. TATTON, Esq., Magis. trates for the county of Lancaster. The former depositions, the principal facts of which have already been before the public, were read over to the respective parties, and signed by them. The wit. nesse, were Miss Daulbv (the schoolmistress). Miss Turner, Wil. liam Turner, Esq. (the High Sheriff), Robert Turner, Esq., Henry Critcbley, Esq. and 111 r. Grimaditch, the solicitor. One witness deposed that Miss Turner, on a certain occasion, said that though filr. Wakefield had treated her like a gentleman, yet his conduct was that of a bru e, " and she had never called any one a brute before." She acknowledged having given her consent to the marriage, and signed her name to an instrument, " which was to certify to all concerned" that they were married. After the reading of the several depositions, Mr. Orimtditch rose and said that he felt it his duty to press for a committal for a capital felony, under the statutes 3 Henry VII. c. 2. ; 39 Eliz. e. 9. Mr. G. combated the objection which had been made, that Miss Turner was not an heiress apparent, and therefore that the case did not come within the meaning of those Acts ; and said that if she was not one, it was impossible that there ever could be an heiress ap. parent. After about half an hour's consultation, the Magistrates decided on committing . Mr. Wakefield on die capital charge, and he is ae. cordingly committed to Lancaster Castle, to take his trial at the ensuing assizes. The examination lasted about three hours, and excited intense interest. Mr. Wakefield declined saying any thing in his defence, and ex hibited an air of perfect indifference until the decision was made known to him, when he seemed considerably agitated. It is under stood he entered into his 31st year about a fortnight'ago. He is a gentlemanly man, of rather a slender form,. light hair and eyes, and is what the French would call a bet hernrae. His dress betrayed a touch of dandyism. During the time Miss Turner was in the room, not a single glance was exchanged between them. He sat lolling, with his hand to his head, and she kept her eyes upon the ground all the time she gave her deposition. Miss Turner was fifteen on the 12th of February last. She is rather tall of her age, and lice voice and manner are very commanding; her countenance is pale, but it is enlivened by two piercing eyes, and a finely-shaped mouth, with teeth extremely well formed and white, forming a tine contrast to her ruby lips. She spoke in the most collected manner, and &together there is something so fascinating shout her, that the most favourable impression seemed to have been made on all present. Previous to his departure in the custody of the con. stable, Mr. Wakefield wrote a letter to his friends, and sent a copy of his committal to his solicitor. While walking before the door with his friend, Dr. Davies, Miss Turner watched him from the window for some time, b...t no act of recognition rnok place. In the course of the proceedings, Mr. Orimsditch called the at. tention of the Magistrates to the letter which appeared in the John Bull of Sunday list, which reflected upon him ; but they very properly expressed their surprise that he should bring forward the subject then, as they of course could do nothing whatever in it. Mr. Wakefield here remarked that he knew nothing of, nor had he any thine to do, with the letter in question. Mr. Orimsditch said, "It bears your name at all events .' This disavowal is rather a curious circumstance, as the letter introduced in it, addressed to Mr. Turner, is certainly genuine, and is in the same words as that read before the Magistrates. Several letters from Mr. Wakefield to Tile. Turner were read, from one of which the following is an extract :—" I cannot allow your daughter to be made to dislike me, however wrong my con. duct may have been. I have taken religious care to treLt her as a sister, and though she was lawfully my wife, I never enforced the rights of a husband. In the conversations I had with her, the lan guage used would' not have been unfitting from a brother to a sister." In anothct letter he entreats that no one will try to make Miss T. hate her husband. TeNBRIDGE.WELLS..—THE SWINDLERS.--A circum stance, which we are happy to state is not of very frequent occur rence here, has taken place the fast week. A family, consisting of an elderly man, and a young one about 2.2, and three women, have been living at free quarters at Illoomfielificottage, for nearly three months. The man at length succeeded in obtaining possession of a valuable horse acd gig of the proprietor of the Sussex Hotel, in payment of which he gave his acceptance, but took himself off two or three days previcras to its arrival at maturity, and the woman managed to follow him a few hours afterwards. Their debts here are supposed to amount to nearly 4001. The nante he was known by here was Tuthill ; he is a large man about tiO years old, and walked as if he was lame, leaning on a large stick, of respectable appearance, and wore a blue close-bodied ecat, and a plush silk velvet waistcoat with blue buttons. Two of the women, apparently mother and daughter, about the middle size, in red shawls evi. dently the worse for wear. The other women wore black, and looked rather sanctified. They all endeavoured to put on the ap pearance of well disposed women. We trust this description will prevent their committing any further depredation elsewhere. Since writing the above, we have been informed that the man has re. marked° light whiskers, and the daughter possesses rather hand some Jewish features, inclining to r sallowish hue, and generally wore a morone silk pelisse, with deep fur at the bottom ; it was re. markable as being too short. She was accompanied when on our walks by two spaniel dogs.—Brightfrit Cuzette. 1 CORONER ' S INQUEST.—Yesterday evening, an adjOnrn ed Inquest was held at the London Hospital, on the body of a middle-aged •man, named John. Stephens, whose death was occa sioned in the following dreadful manner. From the evidence, it appeared that the deceased, while returning home on Saturday night, in attempting to cross the street opposite the Ball and Mac kerel public house, Mile.end, was knocked down by a chaise pass. lug at the time, at a most furious rate ; the driver of which, though aware of the accident, did not pull up, but galloped off, and de ceased's head came with such violence against the edge of the pave ment, that when taken up hezt e rite insensible, and covered with blood. Ile was instantly on a shutter to the hospital, where, on examination, it was found that his head was dreadfully fractured, and he died in a few hours after. The Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against the tither of the chaise, whose name- is unknown. It is singular that a starling, not a very common bird in this neighbourhood (Liverpool), built a nest in the dove cote at the vicarage -house, Dearham, and at present has four young ones. The pigeons and their forcign Inmates appear to be very cordial toiethere I have noticed. says our Correspondent, and which, I think, a cu rious act in natural history, that u frequently as the parent birds feed their young. they uniformly remo►e the droppings of the young ones front the ncat.
