WAKEFIELD ELECTION COMMISSION. The Cominissioners WAKEFIELD, No .!...ulned their intiu 19. - - Sessions-house this morning. The four missing witnesses, Mr. J. B. Charlesworth, Mr! Fernandez, Mr. Serle,•and Mr. Moore were forthcoming at last, and one of the much-talked-of " strangers" also made his appearance, but at present their evidence has not added much to the information already laid before the Commissioners. The first witness called was Mr. John Barft Charlesworth, the cousin of Mr. J. D. Charlesworth, the defeated candidate, who said—Previous to the last election I had a conver sation with my cousin, in the course of which I pro posed I should act as paymaster for the expenses of the election. I asked him to give me an intro duction to Messrs. Beckett, of Leeds, as my own bankers arc Messrs. Leatham, and I did not wish them to know what we were spending. He said it would not be much use giving me an introduction Without accompanying it with some security, and that he bad none of less amount than a railway bond for £5,000. I said I should not want a quar ter of that ; certainly - not more than £1,500, and that I would return him the residue when the elec tion was ever. He told me he would consider of it and next morning he gave it me with a letter ofin trodUction. I took it to- Messrs. Beckett, telling them that I should want to draw about £1,200 on it. I drew £l,OOO on the 16th April, of which I gave £5OO -to Mr. Fernandez, and with the other £5OO I repaid. Mr. H. Brown, solicitor, a sum of £4OO which he had lent in the previous year. On the 23d April I drew out another £l,OOO, which I gave to Mr. Fernandez. He had told me the day before that though we had a majority in the town the other side were bribing . so hard that unless we took means to keep our majority together we should lose it. On the 23d of April he told me that things were going on at a great pace, and that if we meant to win we must do the same. I said I was very anxious that my cousin should win, and that I would find the money. I went to Messrs. Beckett's, and drew out .£1, 500 , which I handed to him. Oa the 29th of April I got a note from Mr. Fernandez with these words in it— " £5OO will be wanted," and I went to Beckett's and drew £5OO. On the 3d of May I drew out £250, which I sent to Mr. Fernandez at his request, and on the sth of May £5OO more, which is not yet spent. That makes £4,750, so that there is £250 left in Messrs. Beckett's hands. I took very little share in the election. I don't think I canvassed more than two people. Shortly before the election my cousin gave a dinner party, at which his principal sup porters were present. The election was discussed, and my cousin cautioned every one very anxiously to have nothing to do with bribery. I don't know whether this was after the bond was given or before, I never gave any account to my cousin of the man ner in which I had applied the money. I told him one day that a great deal of money had been spent, but he turned away and said he wanted to know no thing about it. It was Mr. Fernandez who first suggested that money would be waisted for preli minary expenses. I generally gave the money to him alone, in the room which he occupied in the Strafford Arms. It was in notes mostly, except one sum of £5OO, which was in sovereigns. I have never had any account from him as to the mode in which the money was spent. I heard it rumoured in the town that bribery was going bn freely, but of ceurse I never dropped a hint that I knew anything about it. My cue was to keep my mouth'shut. I knew nothing, in fact, of individual cases of bribery until this commission opened, for I was very little in Wakefield during the election, and except finding the money as I have describe], I took no part in it. I never heard anything of " strangers" being in the town during the bribery. I never mentioned to my cousin that I was furnishing money to Mr. Fernandez; for I am sure that if he had known that bribery was going on he would have stopped the election at once. Mr. Jose Luis Fernandez said—l acted as pay master for Mr. Charles worth's party during the last election. I have heard Mr. Charlesworth's evidence, and he has given a correct statement of the sums which passed through my hands. I believe these sums, with the election auditor's expenses, repre sent the whole cost of the election. The arrange ment between myself and Mr. J. B. Charlesworth that he should find the money was my own.sugges tion ; for having had experience in former elections I knew that money would be required for paying watchers, messengers, &c., and for securing the show of hands on the .nomination day. When I first applied for money to Mr. J. B. Charlesworth the canvassing had begun on both sides; and I had a pretty good idea that the other side.had begun to bribe. I knew they said they could riot win with out bribery, and I had little doubt that they would win if they bribed hard enough. The whole of the £3,750 which I received has been expended with the exception of about £l7B which I have in hand. I gave Brear altogether £1,400. To Mr. Thomas Alder I gave £1,035 for the *etchers and similar expenses, to Mr. Shaw £4O, to Mr. Stephenson £226 for bringing in colliers on the nomination day, to Mr. Cuttle £l6 for stationery, to Mr. Bayldon £6l, to Mr. Serie £lOO, to Mr. George Moore £530 in different sums, and to John stead £23. I paid the Strafford Arms' account, which came to £l3. I have £l7B in hand, and that leaves a " leakage" of £ll3, which I can't account for. This with the election auditor's accounts represents the whole ex penses of the election. The first time that bribery was mentioned was by Brear. He came into my room one day about a week before the election, in a great state of excitement, to tell me that the other side were buying our voters over, and that unless something was done the election was lost. I then got £l,OOO from Mr. J. B. Charlesworth, and next morning gave Brear £5OO. I knew he was a very zealous partisan of Mr. Charlesworth, and would expend the money judiciously. I did not tell him to keep any account of how he spent it . —nor did I ever ask him—in fact, I carefully avoided knowing anything about it. He came again on the 29th to ask for more money, and I gave him £5OO more, and I subsequently gave him another sum, which . he says was £3OO, but which I believe to be £4OO. I know nothing personal of individual cases of bribery. I never offered a bribe myself. I never heard during the election what the price of votes was: I did not ask—and I have no means of knowing how much as paid for votes—except by rumour. I don't know at all whether £5O was the largest sum paid on our side. I attended the meet ing which was held after the election to discuss the expediency of petitioning against Mr. Leatham's return,, and I have subscribed £5O towards the ex penses of it. About £5OO was promised by the persons present. I have paid mine, and I know that Mr. J. B. Charlesworth has paid his subscrip tion of £loo—but I don't know whether anybody else has paid. I have no idea whether the costs of the petition have been paid. I never heard that they were to be paid out of a fund in London. Of course I had a very good idea why the petition did not pray for the seat. I' was concerned in the election.. of 1857,and I am aware:that Mr. Joe Charlesworth, who has since died, found what money was wanted on that occasion. I received aboat £l5O from him, out of which I paid £4O to Mr. Serle for his ser vices. I paid the account at the George Hotel, which was about £3O. I paid £5O or £6O to Mr. Brooke Naylor, which he said he was out of pocket for rejoicings—" tea drinkings," and the like. All the old women in the borough were at the " tea drinking," I believe. (Laughter.) I know nothing about the "strangers" being in the town. I never saw them, nor had I any notion that they were here. Mr. George Moore said—l formerly • kept a draper's shop in Wakefield, and now keep one at Bishop Auckland. I am frequently engaged in elec tion matters, and was engaged in the last election at Wakefield. It was by the invitation of Mr. Shaw, the spirit dealer, that I came. I had the manage ment of the Northgate ward, and my committee room was at the Borough-market Arms. I had no thing to do ith bribery. I never offered a bribe to any man, but confined myself entirely to can vassing and-keeping a strict watch over the voters and bringing them up to the poll. I p a id some S:6O for watchers, and al: the innkeepers' accounts passed through my hands. The first b itch was paid by a stranger. I happened to go into the commer cial room at the Strafford Arms, a e n a d .s l a s , a? them gentleman whom I had met some at the Turk's Head in Newcastle. y casually t I might have to be examined before an electinon'tcoondlo mittec, I thow4ht it better to have nothi with paying the accounts; and I asked the n stran..er to pay them for me. I gave him from £4OO to £5OO for this purpose, and sent • Doeigsou, the she r iff' s officer, round with him to point out the houses to him. I have no idea who he is or what his name. is. I believe he is a commercial traveller, that is all I know of him. I had never seen him but once befoee, and I have only seen him on .:e since. That is the only mystery about the election so far as 1 am concerned. The second batch of accounts was paid by Mr. Roberts, a commercial traveller of Bradford, who travels for Mr. Show, the spirit mer chant here, Mr. Sergeant Pigott—Do you mean to say that you don't know that there were strangers in the town during the bribery ? Mr. Moore—Well, to tell the truth, it was I who engaged one "stranger." Mr. Sergeant Pigott—Who is he What is his name ? Mr. Moore—Well, I'd rather not disclose his name yet, but I can produce him if xiecessary. The secret has been so well kept that it would be a pity to disclose it before it is necessary. (Laughter.) Mr. Sergeant Pigott—Can you produce him to day 1;Ir. Moore—Oh, yes, he is bard by. I eaabZing him in at once. Mr. Sergeant Pigott—We shall be delighted to see him. Mr. Moore then left the court, and in about five minutes returned with the mysterious " Man in the Moon," who tallied pretty correctly with the de .ser;ption given by many witnesses—middle height, light beard and moustache, with a scar over his eye. Mr. Moore's examination then proceeded—This gentleman's name is Whitehead. he lives at Brad ford, and he came over to Wakefield by my invita tion. When I got here I found that Gilbert was at work, and having been engaged with him in former election matters I thought it necessary to keep a watch on what hp was doing. I sent for Whitehead . and told him to go and live at Wain wright's Hotel, and bring me all the intelligence he could pick up. After a time he came and told me that both sides were bribing hard, that Brear was bribing for the Conservative side, and that it was no longer a secret. I said, if that were the case he might be of some use to Brear, and I directed him to go to Brear. What he did in con junction with Brear he will tell you himself. After the election he brought me £l4O, which he had not expended. I was engaged in 1857, but I know nothing of any corrupt practices during that elec tion. In fact I don't believe that there were any. Mr. J. Whitehead the " Mysterious Stranger," was next examined. He said—l am an uphol sterer at Bradford, and have always been in the habit of taking part in electioneering affairs. I came to Wakefield at the last election, and my first employment was to watch what the other side was doing. ,Moore then recommen ded me to g o to Brear's and see whether I could make myself useful to him. I met Mr. Alder in the street, and he showed me the way. I went in and had some con versation with Brear, and we made an appoint ment for next morning. We met behind the Corn Exchange, and he gave me £4O to buy the vote of a licensed victualler named Johnson. I went with him there, and after asking him for his vote I put the £4O down on the table, and covered it over with a newspaper for him to take it away, but he shook his head and would have nothing to do with it. I saw Brear again next day, and got £460 from him in two sums. £2OO of this I gave to a friend of mine named Dan Robin son, whom I brought over from Bradford to assist me, and directed him to" operate" on Pickard, Gos ney, and Mead. I offered bribes myself to various persons—to the Hallidaya, father and son; I offered £lBO for the two votes, but they refused it. I can vassed Blackburn's wife for his vote. He is a grocer, and I bought a ham at his shop for £25. His wife promised he should vote for Charlesworth, but he did not. I gave Jacob Wood, the tailor, £45 for his vote. (This man swore that he had not received a farthing for his vote.) To David Turner I gave £3O after the election. I also gave Matthews, the umbrella maker, something, but I don't know how much. I did not ask him directly to vote for Charlesworth, but I made him understand that if he would vote for us he should have money for it, and he made no objection, so I put the money down on the counter where he 'would see it. I also can vassed various other voters, but I think I have men tioned all that I actually bribed. Mr. Sergeant Pigott—l suppose you know that you went by the name of the " Man in the Moon" while you were here ? Mr. Whitehead—Well, I believe that was my designation.• M Sergeant Pigott—And there is no doubt about your identity ? Witness—Oh, dear no; I'm the man, sure enough. (Laughter.) At the conclusion of this witness's examination the court adjourned until this day at 10 o'clock. ST. GEORGES-IN-THE-EA.ST-DIS- Yesterday the disturbances at this now notorious pleas of - worship were worse than ever. The clergy manifested no disposition to abate one jot or tittle of their ceremonial, and the people were fully deter mined to put an end at least to some of the present oractices, especially the intoning and the turning to the East. In the morning the Rev. C. F. Lowder took the service, which was conducted in the usual way. The congregation was unusually large, and the effect of ths mass of the people " saying " the re sponses while the choir chanted them was exceed ingly painful. In fact the whole affair was a bur lesque on public worship—an utter violation of all those ideas of decorum which even the pro fane will generally allow to restrain them in a place publicly and regularly set apart for Divine worship, and particularly while that worship is go ing on. It is remarkable that the audience yester day was mainly composed of men and boys, and scarcsly a bonnet was to be seen in the place. Many,- strangers, too, were present; for the services at St. George's may now fairly be placed in the category of those things which must be " done " by the sight Keine. 9 multitude. The principal methods of ex pressing disapprobation were yesterday indulged in to an extent which exceeds the disturbances of any previous occasion. A host of powerful voices in all parts of the church " said" the responses, and thus produced a degree of confusion and profane disor der which can hardly be conceived, except by those who have witnessed it for themselves. Every now and then some one coughed rather loudly, and the whole congregation was instantly affected, and such a cough was at once set up as was probably never heard before, certainly not in a church. People were incessantly leaving their seats and slamming the pew doors in the most violent manner. Once or twice the cough ing was very protracted, and so violent as completely to drown Mr. Lowder's voice. The police were scattered in every part of the church, and we are told that a large reserve was at hand, and could have been brought to the spot, if needed, at a moment's notice. The superintendent took up his position in the churchwardens' pew, by the principal entrance. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Low der, who exhibited the greatest calmness and pre sence of mind throughout the whole of the dis course, in spite of an audience in the presence of which the boldest preacher might well have quailed. He ascended the pulpit in his surplice and hood, with a black stole, on the back of which a red cross was embroidered, and this, on his turn ing round to invoke the Trinity, was visible to the audience. This turning to the East at the begin nihg and close of the sermon, is one of those prac tices which are regarded by the congregation with the utmost disapprobation ; but the clergy, in their deplorable obstinacy, will not give it up, and hence these hisses. In fact, the church is desecrated by zoological noises of divers kinds. He took for his text John xiv. 27. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you. Not as the world giveth give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." On this he based an earnest, eloquent, and practical discourse, in which', he avoided all those points of doctrinal difference which might have provoked dissension ; but his most pathetic passages were, nevertheless, drowned by the awful and universal cough which was now and then set up, and which was varied by a little hissing and hooting, and the violent slamming of the pew doors. The uproar burst forth now and then, spparently at the caprice of some unseen fugleman, and without the remotest connexion with what the preacher was saying. He remarked that we all needed peace, and especially the Church, which had been sorely troubled in various periods of her history, particularly in the times of the Apostles, when Christians were obliged to go into , caverns and secret places to worship God in quietness, and were not even safe then, for traitors and spies got in amongst them and betrayed them. Whether or not, the congre gation considered this an uncomplimentery . obser vation reflecting on themselves, certain it is that they resented it most fiercely. A terrific groan as 'sailed the rev. gentleman before the words were scarcely out of his mouth, and men stamped vio lently on the floor, the scene being precisely that which one sometimos witnesses at a theatre when the audience disapproves of an actor or a piece. When the passion of the congregation had subsided, Mr. Lowder proceeded to say that out of all the troubles with which the Church had been assailed, she had been graciously delivered, and peace had come at last. The storm had passed away, and God bocarne again present with his Church, speaking words of comfort and of peace. Esch one amongst them should recollect, at the s tine time, that there could be no peace without pardon. Peace was friend ship with God, and how were they to become friends of Crud ? In the first place they must obtain par don of their sins, for it was their sins alone which separated them from God. how was it that they had not rest and peace in their hearts? Why were they restless, disturbed, troubled, excited? Simply because they had not in their hea r t s th e l ove of God. If they secured this peace they would care nothing for the troubles, the trials, and temptations of the world, and all evil passions and tempers would pass away like a morning cloud. At the close of his sermon, the rev. gentleman turned round to the altar and invoked the Trinity, and the congrega tion yelled again. A vast and excited mob filled the churchyard and street immediately after the sermon. Mrs. Kin.. was hissed on her way to the Rectory House, the choristers were mobbed, and Mr. Lowder was as sail° i with a variety of exclamations, the prin cipal one being " Rotten eggs," in allusion to a case. in which he was concerned while - curate of St. Barnabas, having, as was alleged, incited his choristers to pelt with eggs a man who was carry ing a placard asking the parishioners to secure the return of Mr. Westerton, as churchwarden. The police took two boys into custody, and at the station they were charged with using insulting lan guage, calculated to provoke a breach of the pace. They were, however, liberated on bail, and will be brought up at the Thames police-court this morning. In the afternoon the scene was disgraceful in the extreme. Such an outrage was perpetrated as baffles all description. Mr. Lowder again officiated, and was. hissed, and hooted—and mobbed, in fact—on his way to the altar, before which he and his cho risters knelt, two abreast, the choristers' seats hav ing been previously taken up by parishioners. The effect of the " saying" of the responses by the people, while the- choir chanted them was most painful in the Litany, as maybe readily supposed. There was one incident of a very novel and startling nature. At one of the most solemn pas sages, a sudden howling was heard, which excited loud laughter and produced confusion. It arose from a large black dog which had been treated very freely to some intoxicating beverage, and was rush ing madlyabout the edifice whining most piteously. Presently the animal dashed right into the very midst of the priests and choristers, upsetting some of the more diminutive , and producing a scene of the most extraordinary character. Mr. Lowder kept on with the service in spite of all these noises, and the profanity of the scene was such as to shock the feelings of every right-minded individual who was present. Presently another dog was introduced and set up a protracted howl which made most of those laugh who were not afraid that the poor creature was mad. The " effect" was most painful, and the noise of these wretched creatures was so continuous, that almost •• any one but Mr. Lowder would have abstained from going on with the service. This " dog scene," which was obviously preconcerted, can never be for gotten by those who witnessed it. The infuriated animals went yelling over every part of the edifice, and although kicked out more than once they re turned to the charge with redoubled vigour. One of these eanine protesters was eventually so "over taken" that he dropped off to sieep . and was found in the gallery in a state of helpless intoxication. Mr. Lowder, after the service, was hissed and hooted all the way to Calvert-street, by a mob of several hundred persons, same of whom eventualiy came into collision with the police, and the atten tion of the mob being thus diverted, Mr. Lowder escaped in safety. In the evening there was again a iarge congre gation, and the same disgraceful scenes. In fact, the people seem determined to " say" the responses, while the choir persists in chanting them ; and while this state of things is kept up, the peace of the parish cannot possibly be preserved. Mr. Maccono chie preached, and the hisses and interruptions at tained such a de"ree of intensity that the rev. gen tleman stopped short and inquired what the people meant. He said he would not inflict a sermon upon them against their will. Should he go on or not. To which some of the people shouted, " No, no, no," while others said, " Glo on," and laughter then ensued. After this somewhat "startling novelty," the sermon was pormitted to be concluded in peace, but at the invocation of the Trinity the preacher turned his back to the people, which called forth a terrible shout of disapprobation, in the midst of which the benediction was pronounced, mil the affair terminated in the usual way. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, Nov. 12. CLERKENWELL.—A PERFECT CANNIBAL.— VIOLENT ASSAULT UPON THE POLICE.—Jacob Hull, aged 31, a rough, powerful, brutal-looking fellow, described as a labourer, residing at 41, Col lege-grove, Camden-town, was charged with being drunk, creating a disturbance, and assaulting police constable James Mannering, at Bayham-street, Camden-town. Mr. Wakeling appeared for the prisoner. Inspector Stokes, S division, when the case was called on, handed in the following certificate : "Nov. 12, 1859.-1 certify that police-constable Mannering, 442 S, is on the , sick list from injuries received to his hands, inflicted in the execution of his duty.—George Bermingham, divisional sur gcon." The prisoner was fined £6 only three weeks ago for assaulting two policemen, he having been remanded for more than a month, and one of the con stables is now unable to go on street duty. Before that he was fined £4 for biting off part of a man's ear, and he had been fined for Musing a horse on the Great Northern Railway. Police-constable Mannering, 442 S, said that on Friday afternoon be was on:duty in Bayham-street, Camden-town, when he saw the prisoner, who was very drunk, turned out of a public-house. The pri soner no sooner saw him (witness) than, before a word could be uttered. he struck hitn(the constable) a violent blow in the chest, and nearly knocked him down. When he recovered himself the prisoner again struck and knocked him down, ran into a sweep's house, and hid himself in a quantity of soot. (A laugh.) Witness got him out, and con veyed him part of the way to fle station, when the prisoner became exceedingly violent, put his legs between the constable's legs, threw him down, bit one of the knuckles of his left hand, as well as biting the fingers of his right hand, and kicking him se verely. It was not until the arrival of assistance that the prisoner could be conveyed to the police station. When the prisoner first struck the con stable he said, "Take that, you you are one of the gang that got me fined the other day." Witnesses were called, who confirmed the con stable's statement, and said the violent conduct of the prisoner was disgraceful. The prisoner said he was very sorry, and if he was forgiven this time he would never drink any more. llad it not been for the liquor it never would have occurred. If he was sent to prison he should lose his work. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was a brutal, violent, beastly fellow, and the only doubt he had was whether he should not send the prisoner to the sessions for trial. He could not allow the excuse of drunkenness as a plea for knocking the constables about. To mark his sense of the prisoner's conduct he should send him to the House of Correction, with hard labour, for one month. _ _ _ Mr. Wakeling applied that a fine might be in flitted, but the magistrate would not alter his deci sion. MARLBOROUTI-STREET.—BRUTAL ASSAULT BY SOLDIERS.—John Davis and Richard Prew, privates in the Ist battalion of Coldstream Guards, stationed at St. John's-wood Barracks, were charged with the following brutal assaults : Mr. Theodore Briesler, a German, of 25, George street, Portman-square, cabinetmaker, said he was passing through South Audley-street at half-past 11 over night, and saw the prisoners—one leaning on a post, and the other standing by him. As he passed, the one said to the other, who was leasing, "Keep up, my boy, and don't be a fool ;" upon which the one addressed, j mnping u,p, asked him (complainant) why he had called him a fool. He told him he was mistaken, for he had not insulted him or even spoken. Fearing the prisoner meant mischief, he ran away as fast as he could, and finding he was pursued by the prisoners, he appealed to a constable he met, who recommended him to pass on, and ho did so, but on reaching Orchard-street, was over taken by them and knocked down, and then kicked in the ribs and eye. The prisoners, he considered, were the worse for liquor. He himself was quite sober, having taken nothing in the way of liquor all day.—(The complainant's eye was frightfully swollen and discoloured.) Mr. John Cutting, 1, Vere-street, Oxford-street, draper, was passing, and saw Davis knock the com plainant down by a powerful blow, and when on the ground he kicked him iu the most brutal man ner about the body, in the ribs, and iu the eye. The complainant succeeded in getting up, was knocked down again, and while being so ill-treated, Prew called out, " Give it him, let him have it." Sergeant Greaves, 31 I), being informed of the assault, followed the prisoners to Portman-square, where Davis, who was about 20 yards from him, seeing him (witness) took off his belt, doubled it, and twisted it, round his wrist. He went quietly up to him, and got it suddenly from him, telling him he was charged with assaulting a foreigner. He replied " All right," and then the compl-iinant, whose face was covered with blood, coming up with another officer, he laid hold of Davis to take him into cust ; upon which, falling a pace or two back, he ran at and butted him in the stomach with his head, which knocked him down. Scrambling up in the best way he could, he was ag in knocked down in a similar way. With difficulty he reco vered his standing and closed with him, and then was struck in the eye by Davis, and after some struggling both fell down together. At length, with assistance, they were got to the station. Davis had nothing to say. Prew said the complainant called him a d--d fool, and abused him, and taunted him about fo reigners beating them in the Crimea. They had all been drinking together just before. Complainant recalled. Mr. Bingham—ls there a word of truth in this statement I) Complainant—Not a word, upon my honour. I never saw them before. Mr. Bingham—l must say that the defence of Prew is, if possible, the worst feature in this case. You thought, by this impudent falsehood, to mislead me, but you shall find yourself disappo'nted. I do not stop to inquire what your characters are. If you were the best men in the regiment, which you by such conduct disgrace, you 401414 be severely pumished. To knock an unoffendin? man down in the streets is most monstrous, and your as ' sault on the police most brutal. For the assault on the policeman you, Davis, are committed for one month, and fined £5 or two months for the previous assault, to commence at the expiration of the first term; and you, Prow, are fined £3, or six weeks, for encouraging your comrade in his barbarity. ROBBERY BY A BAD.MAID.—Emma King, bar maid, in the :service of Mr. L. Hammond, licensed victualler, and proprietor of the Gloucester Hotel, Park-street, Oxford-street, underwent a re-exami nation on the charge of robbing her master's bar of various sums of money at various times. The prisoner entered prosecutor's service in June, and in consequence of suspicion money was marked and given to Roy, the detective officer, and to a Private person, who sent in customers with the same to test the honesty of the prisoner. 'When accused after this she denied taking the money, but finding the officer was sent for, fell on her knees, begged forgiveness of her master, and admitted stealing about £4 10s. In her purse, required of her by Roy, was found, among £l6 10s. in gold, a marked sove reign, stolen from a slab in the bar the over night. Mr. Child, of the firm of Wire and Child, atten ded for the prosecution ; and Mr. Lewis, of Ely place, for the defence. Mr. Hammond said be had lost a very great deal of money at various times since the prisoner entered his service, to the extent of full £ll or £l5 a-week, Mr. Child said the case hid assumed a far more serious aspect thm before, from the fact that a num ber of letters, amounting to nearly 300, addressed to . the prisoner, had been found—letters of such a character that they defied all description—and that any one calling himself a man could have ventured to address them to a female was a perfect marvel. The letters spoke of the writer being engaged in a burglary that did not come off, and altogether their contents were such as to stamp him as a villain of the deepest dye. He had no doubt this fellow had in cited her to rob her master. In one of his letters he boasted that he hat gone home drunk, sold off the whole of his furniture—for he was a married man, with a family—and that he had got blind drunk with the money so raised ; this was the fellow who made love to the prisoner. As a further specimen of what sort of a man he was, he would mention that he signed his letters to the prisoner, " Albert Pearl, alias the Villain." During the whole of the time the prisoner had been in the prosecutor's employ he had lost upwards of £lO a-week. Mr. Lewis said the prisonPr was at the mercy of the prosecutor. He was afraid that what was stated was too true, and that she had been in the hands of an infamous man. The prosecutor said he would listen to nothing in the shape of a compromise, but was willing to leave the case in the hands of the magistrate. Mr. Child said his only regret was that the great offender was not in custody. Mr. Bingham (the prisoner pleading guilty) com mitted her for six months, with hard labour. The prisoner it appears was discharged from a former situation, in the employ of Mr. Amos, for encouraging the fellow Pearl, who is stated to be a notorious skittle sharper, and to have once been convicted, Mr. Amos having been informed of the character of the man. Some of the letters, which were produced by Roy, 338 A, the detective having charge of the case, were of a most singular nature. Mixed up with protes tations of love were such expressions as the fol lowing : " The joh of burglary did not come off—we were disturbed, and it was spoilt." " I have sold off everything, turned my wife out of doors, and got blind drunk with the money." I feel as if I could murder any one, and hang upon the scaffold." " I care not what becomes of me if the world is going to use me like this. Let that deceiving God above curse me how he likes, for he always was a wretch to me, but never mind." The letter containing this last remark was signed.— "Albert Pearl, alias the Villain," In another, al• luding to an old friend, he styles him " a true lago, -- him." Others of the letters were interlarded with grossly obscene language, perfect abomina tions, and proving that the fellow Pearl must be, as Mr. Child appropriately termed him, a villain of the deepest dye. GREENWICH.—ALLEGED ASSAULT IN A RAIL WAY CARRIAGE.—Mr. J. French, a gentleman re siding near Lewisham, appeared before Mr. Train in discharge of his bail, on a charge of assaulting. Maria Astell, a young woman residing in Rother bithe ; and Mr. G. Henderson, a surgeon, of Dept ford, appeared to a summons charging him with en. deavouring to dissuade the complainant from giv ing evidence in the case. Mr. Ribton appeared for French, and Mr. Doyle for the other defendant. The depositions were taken at great length, but the facts may be briefly stated. The complainant, it appeared, started by an excursion train from Brighton on the evening of Sunday, the 30th ult., having been given in care of the first-named defend ant by her uncle, to see her safe to New-cross. When near the Three Bridges station (according to the statement made by complainant), she was attempted to be kissed by the first-named defendant, no other person being in the carriage but themselves. On the train being stopped at the first station she com plained of being assaulted, and was put into another carriage and proceeded to New-cross, where a charge of assault was preferred. On hearing which the defendant offered a money compensation, rather than such a derogatory charge should be made. This charge was, however, persisted in ; but on the case being called on for hearing the following morn ing the complainant did not make her appearance. A remand then took place, but the complainant was still not forthcoming, and a warrant was granted for her apprehension. She had proceeded to Warwick shire, and was brought up from there by an officer. She then stated that as a gross assuult had not been committed, after signing the charge-sheet, she considered the night's lock-up was a sufficient punish ment. In reply to questions by the magistrate, complainant said that on the Monday morning the defendant Henderson called upon her at the resi dence of a person with whom she was then staying, having attended her professionally previously, and said lie had come from the gentleman whom she had given in charge; but she then told him she did not intend to arpear in the case, and upon his ask ing the nature of the case, and being informed, he said as some kind of insult had been offered, he thought she was entitled to compensation, and gave her £B. The same evening she received a summons, requiring her attendance at the court, and upon Mr. Henderson calling . nynin her the following morning she showed him the summons, when lie took it from her, saying it was nothing, and told her to call at his house in the evening with her aunt. They did so, and he then told her that he thought it would be better for her to attend the court on the following day. Instead of doing which, however, she proceeded to her grandfather's in War wickshire. Mr. Trail said the attempt at interference with the complainant, left him no alternative but to send both cases before another tribunal, though, but for the interference, the case, so tar as the assault was concerned, might have been disposed of in a sum mary manner. Mr. Ribton, for the first defendant, said that, having heard the determination of his worship, he should not trouble the court with any other remark than by simply observing that when the case came before the iury, the facts would be found to have been grossly exaggerated. Mr. Doyle, on the part of the second defendant, observed that all that had been done by his client was from motives of kindness and sympathy to both parties, and altogether in ignorance of the law as applying to persons to give evidence, under the cit.- en instances stated, in a court of justice, and he be lieved that no jury would be found to convict in such a case. Mr. Traill said he felt bound to send both cases for trial, as the one was bearing upon the other. He would, however, accept bail for their appearance at the sessions in two sureties of £lOO each. The required bail was immediately put in, and the defendants left the court with their friends.

It will he recollected that the prisoner was ship• ped as cook on board a British vessel called the Margaret, at Lisbon, and that when she had been a few days at sea the prisoner cut the throat of the captain, as he lay asleep in his berth, with a carving knife, and afterwards made a desperate attack upon others of tho crew with the same weapon, his pro ceeding being apparently without any object or motive, the unfortunate deceased particularly having treated him with great, kindness. The pri soner would have been altogether without legal assistance at his trial if the matter had not been taken up by the representatives of the Portuguese Government, who retained counsel on his behalf, and the defence set up was that the prisoner corn mitted the act while labouring temporary insanity, and it was urged that he ought to be acquitted upon that ground. The jury, however, found the pri soner guilty of the crime of wilful murder, and the 14th of November was the day fixed for his execu tion. A very general feeling appeared to prevail among all the parties conneected with the case that the prisoner ought not to have been convicted of murder, particularly as, apart from the peculiar cir cumstances under which the crime appeared to have been committed, there was reason to believe that the prisoner had been confined as a lunatic in Lis bon shortly before he joined the Margaret, and that if more time had been allowed evidence could have been brought forward to establish this fact. Mr. Sleigh, the counsel who conducted the pro secution, it appears had a very strong feeling that upon the evidence the life of the prisoner ought not to be taken, and he waited upon Mr. Justice Wil liams, who tried the case, and intimated to that learned judge the views he entertained upon the sub ject, and at the same time asked him whether he con sidered it would be acting in any way unbecoming his possition if he were to wait upon the Home Se cretary and have some communication with him in reference to the fate of the unhappy prisoner. Mr. Justice Williams stated that it appeared to him that so far from the interference of the learned counsel being in anyway unbecoming or improper, he considered that the interest he took in the fate of the unfortunate prisoner was highly creditable to his humanity, and honourable to him in his position as an advocate, and that if he feltthat the prisoner's life should be spared, it was his duty to put the Secretary of State in possession of any information that would justify him in coming to that conclusion. Mr. Sleigh accordingly, it appears, waited upon the Home Secretary on Saturday afternoon, and had a conversation of some duration with him in refer ence to the case of the prisoner. The particulars, of course, cannot be made public, but the result was that Sir G. Lewis consented to respite the execu tion for fourteen days, namely, to the 28th of No vember, and a communication was made to the sheriffs to that effect ; but they were at the same time requested to impress distinctly upon the pri soner that his life was not positively spared, but that it would depend entirely upon the further in quiries that would be instituted relating to the state of his mind whether the capital sentence would be carried out or not. The communication of the Se cretary of State was received at the gaol of New gate about half-past five o'clock in the afternoon, at which time barriers had been erect e d i n th e Old Bailey, and all the necessary preliminaries for the dreadful ceremony had been prepared, and all ex pectation that the life of the unhappy man would be spared had left the minds of the officials of the prison. The sheriff:3 at once proceeded to the cell where the prisoner was confined, and communicated to . . him the intelligence they had just received, taking especial care to explain to him that the reprieve was only for a certain period, and he appeared deeply thankful for the respite, as may be imagined. It is understood that further inquiries relating to the prisoner will be made immediately at Lisbon, and if they should turn out as is anticipated, the prisonei's sentence will, in all probability, be cora; muted to one of penal servitude. FRIGHTFUL MURDER AT COVENTRY. COVENTRY, SATURDAY. Much gloom was thrown over this city to-day by a report, which has unhappily proved too true, that a horrible murder had been perpetrated in a thickly populated district called Hillfields. From the par ticulars which we are able to glean it appears that the murderer is a young man about 22 years of age, named John Kingston, a weaver by trade, and that the victim is a young woman to whom he had . not long been married, and by whom he has had one or two children. For some time past they had lived very unhappily together, the husband being of a very violent and passionate disposition, and there doubtless being faults on the other side. A few weeks since the wife made a complaint before the mae , istrates of her husband's violence towards her, end of his having threatened to murder her. The Bench accordingly bound him over to keep the peace, h:s father becoming the requisite surety. The term expired this morning, and it would seem that the wretched man had resolved beforehand to carry Ms threat into execution this time ; for, meeting.his wife as she was going from her work between eight and nine o'clock this morning to breakfast, at the house in which she lodged—has ing been living apart from her husband—he induced her to walk with . him up a lane and into some fields near at hand. Here he attacked her in the most determined manner with a large clasp knife, and, after inflicting several deep gashes in her face, he ultimately succeeded in cutting her throat. He shortly afterwards gave himself up to a policeman, coolly remarking that " She was dead enough. He had cut her head off." The body was found lying in a pool of blood by the passers-by, and on Mr. Dresser, surgeon, examining it, he found that the main artery of the throat had been divided, so that death must have been almost instantaneous. The murderer was brought before the magis trates this morning, and remanded for further exa mination. He spoke with the greatest coolness of the heinous crime with which he stands charged. He said, " She shouldn't have been ruled by her father, but by me. Her father is the whole cause of our disagreements." The prisoner, whose hands and clothes were b esmeare d with the blood of his victim, was remanded for a week. FATAL EFFECTS OF CRINOLINE. On Saturday, Mr. Wakley, the Coroner for West Middlesex, held a long inquiry at the Duke of Richmond Tavern, Pembroke-terrace Islington, touching the death o f M rs . R e b ecc a Hicks, aged 45, who was burnt to death under most shocking and lamentable circumstances. Dr. Oliver Lemon, of No. 8, Pembroke-terrace, Islington, said about four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, an alarm was given that the residence of the deceased, which was adjoining, was on fire. On going out in the front garden he observed smoke issuing from the drawing-room windows, as also from the kitchen. He found the hall door open, and volumes of smoke descending the stairs from the first floor. He reached the drawing-room door, and discovered that most of the furniture was on fire, also its a back chamber the bed and curtains were in flames. On going into the front kitchen with Inspector Judge, of the N division of police, a, dreadful sight presented itself; the unfortunate de ceased lady was on the floor, with the whole of her apparel consumed, and the whole of her person literally baked. By the Jury—l saw no one in the house when I entered. There were fires in the drawing-room and chamber grates. The Coroner said he had no doubt but that the deceased caught fire in her bedroom. That she afterwards went into the drawing-room, that there she discovered she was on fire, and hen rushed down into the front kitchen, where she perished. Inspector Judge said that there was a tank of water in the front kitchen, and the poor lady ran there to quench her clothes if possible. It required the utmost exertions to save the house, as the draw ing-room,:chamber, and front kitchen had articles of furniture burning in them. Tubbs, the summoning officer, Said that at the time of the calamity the deceased had her crinoline on, and he considered her dress caught in her pass ing between the foot of the bedstead and fireplace. The coroner and jury commented in the strongest terms on the use of crinoline. Tubbs was sent for t.ie remains of the crinoline, the hoops of which were found to measure in cir cumference two yards and three-quarters. The jury returned a verdict " That the deceased was accidentally burnt, owing to wearing crinoline in the house, which they considered a most impro per and dangerous: practice." - [ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills and Ointment."_ indigestion, acidity on the stomach—These corrective and puri4ing Pills, assisted by the application of the Ointment, will subdue these troublesome disorders, though assuming an infinity of forms, awl under each disguise mocking the skill of the wisest physicians.
