The bankrupts were auctioneers, in Cornhill, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge, but was adjourned by consent until April 15, a composition of 10s. in the pound having been accepted by the creditors at a meeting, but the deed has not been completed. IN RE lIARTMAN. This bankrupt was a merchant in Martin's-lane, and this was a certificate meeting. Mr. Lawrence appeared, and said that bankrupt was supposed to be out of the country. The case was adjourned for the bankrupt to apply again, and pay costs of any future sitting. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) THE LAW or MASTER AND SERTANT._IMPORTANT CASE.-BARTLETT V. BOOTY. This was an action to recover damages for wrongful dis missal, plaintiff having been coachman to defendant, who is a gentleman of property, of Walthamstow. Mr. Vann, of Providence-row, Worship-street, for the plaintiff, said his client entered the service of the defendant with a most excellent character, but after two months' ser vice he was summarily discharged. Defendant said he dismissed the plaintiff for great mis conduct. Some money was entrusted to the plaintiff with which to pay a tradesman in the neighbourhood, and although he got a stamp from the tradesman he withheld the money for some time. This was not the only case of the kind, and while defendant would admit that he had a capital character with plaintiff, yet that had since been qualified, and defendant felt justified in discharging the plaintiff fur not paying the money in question, with many other acts of misconduct. Defendant had paid into Court Ll. 6s. 3d. His Honour —You need not have done that, but having done it, the plaintiff must have it. I hold that you were justified in summarily discharging the plaintiff, and that plaintiff, by his misconduct, forfeited all the wages accord ingly due. Verdict for defendant, plaintiff to have the money in Court. THE NAVy. DEVONPORT, MARCH 18.

THE SHEFFIELD MURDER.--This case was brought to a close at the York assizes yesterd a y.

Th e deadly missile w as, no doubt, intended for Wastnidge, but he escaped, while his lodger was mortally i n j ure d, an d his wife dreadfully W burned.

A startlin g illustration of the violence of this reign of terror was furnished in the course of the hearing of the case. Mr. ; - -n.ght, the house surgeon of the Sheffield Infirmary, was call e d as a witness, b u t , on en t er ing the box, he said, " I can't answer any quest i on i n thi s matter ; I don't like the r esponsibility." As he per sisted in his determination not to answer the questions put to him, he was ordered into custody for contempt of court. Subsequently, however, he re - consider e d his decision ; and present when O'Rourk e ' s deposition was t a ken, and that deceased died from th e e ff ects of burns— h e de clared that " he was reall y a fraid of prejudicing the Pri' goner's case," t a h f t a e t r he giving w a evidence—which w as a s i mp l e s t a tement s his POLICE INTELLIGEIVO.B.;—(This Day.) BOW-STREET. John Martin was placed before Mr. Henry charged with burglary. Anne Beer said—l reside at 37, Bedford-square, and am a domestic in the service of Dr. La'Mert. About 8 this morning I was alarmed by one of my fellow-servants tell ing me that she had discovered a hole bored in the door leading from the billiard-room into the house, the door of which was open. The whole of us got up, went down stairs, and opened the door of the billiard room, but nothing appeared to have been disturbed. As I was leaving I lifted up the cover of the sofa and found the prisoner con cealed under it. 1 instantly sent up for Mr. Dthies, the doctor's son-in-law, who came down into the billiard-room and secured him until the police-constable arrived. Police constable E 45, said—l was sent for this morning to the house Bedford-square, and on going into the billiard-room I found the prisoner lying under the sofa. I pulled him out by the collar, and he said, " I've nothing to say, take me off to prison." I searched him, and found a quantity of silent matches, a small file, a knife, a saw, a wax taper, a latch key, and other articles. On searching the room, on the opposite side to where I took the prisoner, I discovered a rope ladder 16 feet long, and to which were attached two iron hooks for the purpose of securing it to a window, or balcony, a stock and centre bit, and a small saw. On his feet I found a pair of thick worsted stockings, which were soiled from the prisoner walking across the leads on the top of the billiard-room to get to the skylight, through which he lowered himself on to the billiard•. table, on which there were marks of the socks on the white cover. The house backs on Tavistock-mews. I found a large silver-mounted snuff-mull underneath the ' sofa where the prisoner had hid himself. The prisoner said nothing while I was conveying him to the station. When I told him I had found his tools, he said " I see you have." The inner side of the door which led to the house was covered with sheet iron, which appeared to have effectively prevented an entry being made. Prisoner—l know nothing of the mull. I did not take it away. Mr. Defries—l am son-in-law of Dr. La'Mert. I was in the billiard room till about a quarter to one this morning. I saw the man put the white cover on the billiard table. I am certain there were no footmarks on it then. The door was properly secured when I left, and the skylight over the table was shut. Mr. Henry asked the prisoner what he had to say. Prisoner—All I've got to sky is, that I intended to get some money or go to prison. I did not intend to leave the place without it. I had plenty of time to get away if I liked, as I had been lying on the sofa for two or three hours before the servants came down. I commenced getting into the house about half-past one. I got over the gate of the mews, from them on ,to the roof of the billiard-room, and then through the skylight. I could not get through the door that led to the dwelling-house. I had made up my mind to have some money. I have been in the house many times, and I know where it is kept. I had been fleeced out of £l9 by Dr. La'Mert, and I determined to have some of it back, That's all I've got to say. I)efries said the statement might perhaps be injuri ous to Dr. La'Mert, and he should like him to have the opportunity of hearing the statement of the prisoner, In a short time Dr. La'Mert was in attendance. Mr. Henry addressing him said, the prisoner in his ab sence, had made a statement, and although it was not at all necessary for him (Dr. La'Mert) to say anything, his son in-law was anxious that ho might have an opportunity of hearing it if he thought proper. _ _ La'Mert said he felt much obliged for the opportu nity. The prisoner was a former patient of his, though he (Dr. La'Mert) did not recognise him at the time he was taken into custody. The statement that he had been " fleeced" out of £l9 was entirely untrue. He had paid him that amount for medical attendance, and as he afterwards said he was in great distress, and wished to go back to his home in Newfoundland, he (Dr. La'Mert) had returned him, out of charity, £l7 out of the £l9 he had received. Besides that he had given other monies to the prisoner to relieve his distress. Dr. La'Mert then produced a letter addressed to him by the prisoner expressing the warmest gratitude for the kindness he had exhibited in returning the money he had paid him as fees, and characterizing the doctor's conduct as more generous than could have been hoped for. The letter was signed " John Lilly." Prisoner—That is an assumed name. What the doctor says is perfectly true. Mr. Henry—You said he fleeced you. Prisoner—He gave me the money back. _ _ Mr. Henry—Why did you not say so before ? Dr. La'Mert—From what I have seen of the prisoner, I should think he was a person of unsound mind. Mr. Henry—l cannot decide upon that question. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. KROCRER WRENCHING AT A SURGEON'S, &C.—Alfred Edwards, clerk, address refused, and Alfred Thomson, of 35, Percy-street, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with stealing a knocker from the door of Mr. Theodosius Pur land, of 7, Mortimer street. Charles Walker, a constable of the E division, said that about two that morning he saw the two prisoners on the step of the door of No. 7, Mortimer-street, and suspecting their olject he placed himself in a dark spot so as to watch them. He then saw them go up to the door again, and directly after heard a loud crash as of a knocker being wrenched from the door. The prisoners then made off, and having gone up to the door and seen that the knocker was gone, he went after them, and said, " What have you gentlemen been up to." They replied " Nothing," but on putting his hand under Thomson's coat he found a knocker under his arm. He told the prisoners they had been up to business, and with the assistance of another constable took them into custody. On being searched three other knockers were found on Ed wards, a hammer was also found on Thompson, the hammer being made of iroa, and bent it, requiring immense force to get the knocker of No. 7 off. On the way to the station the prisoner offered them Li to let them go, as they said they were both respectable, and did not wish the matter to go any further. Police-constable, 55 E, proved finding three knockers on Edwards. Mr. Theodosius Purland, of 7, Mortimer-street, identified one of the knockers produced as his property. He had previously lost a knocker and bell handles. Mr. Tyrwhitt said—the prisoners merely stating they had been out drinking—he should fine them £5 each, or a month in default for the unlawful possession. PICKING POCKETS AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE OXFORD. —John Turne, a desperate fellow, was charged by Lambert, 68 G, with stealing pocket-handkerchiefs from gentlemen entering the Oxford Music Hall, Oxford-street. Mr. Joseph Ball, 3, Foster-lane, Cheapside, identified one of the handkerchiefs. Lambert said the prisoner was connected with the Bloomsbury Post •office, and behaved so desperately that he was obliged to be handcuffed. Prisoner said he was guilty. Committed for three months. THE BUSINESS OF THE COURT.—The business at the court did not commence till an hour after the usual time, several professional men being kept unnecessarily waiting, to say nothing of prosecutors and witnesses having their timo thus wasted. THAMES. SCANDALOUS ROBBERY OP A SEAMAN.—Mary Hayes, a most infamous and desperate woman, aged 32 years, who has been repeatedly in custcdy for robberies and assaults, and whose husband is now under sentence of four years penal servitude for burglary, was brought before Mr. Woolrych on remand, charged with stealing a coat, a pair of boots, and a waistcoat, the property of Antonio Gomez, a seaman. A few nights since a police-constable named Donald M'Kay, 215 K, was passing along Ratcliff-highway and met the prosecutor, a foreigner, who was half naked, and who made known to him that he had been inveigled into a most infamous den, No. 4, Angel-court, Angel-gardens, Ratcliff-highway, kept by the prisoner, where he had been robbed of everything but his shirt and trowsers. M'Kay kindly provided the poor fellow with shelter and a seat by a warm fireside at the station-house, and went to the den kept by the prisoner, who was taxed with the robbery. She audaciously admitted that Gomez was plundered in her house, that he came there without any money, and that lls. was raised on his coat and boots, and that she had re ceived 2s. of the money. She then handed two pawn broker's duplicates, one relating to the coat and the other to the boots, to the constable, and told him he might do his \ best or his worst. He immediately took her into custody and locked her up. Gomez said he W 9.6 taken into the prisoner's house while he was intoxicated, and she took his whole kit away from him. Two pawnbroker's assistants produced the foreigner's coat and boots, which he identified. He gave 13s. for his jacket and 15s. for his boots on the very day he was plun dered. The prisoner, who carried a baby which kept up a tre mendous squalling while she was making her defence, said the sailor came to her house without any money and gave the girl who accompanied him his coat and boots to pawn. Gomez said the prisoner had not told the truth. He was stripped of his clothes and boots while he was insen sible. His hat and waistcoat were also gone. M‘Kay said a great many sailors had been kidnapped and robbed in the prisoner's house. He knew that five mariners had been skinned there in one week. Mr. Woolrych asked Gomez when he was going to sea, to which he replied "I am going to sea this week." Mr. Woolrych said he was very sorry for that. A severe example ought to be made of the prisoner. Nothing could exceed the audacity of the loose women and the keepers of the horrible dens to which they resort in the district of that court. He would have committed the prisoner for trial if the sailor had intended to stay here another week. To prevent a total failure of justice, he should convict the prisoner of illegally pawning, and sentence her, in default of paying a fine of £4, and 315., the value of the goods, to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two calendar months. The coat and boots must be restored to the prosecutor. The prisoner, an Irishwoman, no sooner heard the sen tence than she invoked the bitterest maledictions on the magistrate, the prosecutor, and the constable, and she was removed by the gaoler swearing loudly, while her child shrieked, and her infamous companions at the back of 020 court were calling out " Qood bye, roll." 1021 THIRD EDITION.

ACCIDENT COMPENSATION BILL. Mr, AYRTON moved the second reading of this bill, After going over the practice observed in the earlier stages of legislation in questions relating to masters and work men, the bon. member referred to the first case on the subject, which came before the Courts, at Westminster, in 1837, whin was an action brought by a workman for com- pensation for injuries received in his master's service ; but which action, though the facts were all in favour of the workmaa, failed. Ever since that time the Judges in West minster Hall had been endeavouring to build up a code of laws for the regulation of questions between masters and workmen; but, in his opinion, they had as yet failed. At the present time, if a seaman brought an action for compensation for injuries inflicted upon him in conse quence of his having sent his vessel to sea in an unsea worthy state, he could got no redress, as the question came within the category of the Common Law ; but if he sued for compensation because the vessel had not been supplied with medicines in terms of the statutary injunction, and that his health had suffered in consequence, then an action would hold. It was the same in regard to mines and fac tories. Unless the statutary injunctions put upon the owners of these were proved to have been neglected and not complied with, no action for compensation for injuries inflicted in consequence would hold, and that ho considered a most unsatisfactory state of the law. The object of his measure was to render the master responsible for everything which happened to his workmen while in his employment, arising through neglect, so that the distinction which had been set up by the courts of law between injuries arising from the default of observing the statutary injunction, and those arising from the mas ters neglecting something he was morally bound to do, should be clearly defined, lie held that as a matter of policy they were bound to take up this matter, and deal out to tho workman that justice which he consider ed him entitled to, but which, under the present state of the law, he could not possibly obtain. Mr. POTTER having seconded the motion, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose to move an amend ment that the bill be read a second time that day six months. He had come to the conclusion that were the measure to be- come law it would not only be injurious to the master against whom it was levelled, but it would be also injurious to the workmen who it was intended to protezt. At present the master was bound to see that due care and provision should be made for the protection of his workmen, and he could see no middle course which he could adopt between the law as it at present stood, and the measure before the house. Under the present state of the law the master was liable for accidents caused by his own act, or arising from his neglect of or breach of duty, that duty being that he should, in the conduct of his business, use reasonable care with the view of providing good machinery and tackle and competent and efficient servants, and he could not see how, in that respect, his liability could be extended. The hon. and learned gentleman quoted a number of cases in support of this view of the case, which had been decided by the courts of law, and some of them by the House of Lords, in one of which a master was held liable for negligence on the part of his foreman. According to the measure, as it stood, a master was to be liable if personally he neglected to use due and proper precaution, or omitted to do what was right and proper to have been done. The questioi, therefore, would come to be what was right and proper to have been done. That must be left to a jury, and with the event, in respect for which damages ware craved, perhaps a break down in a railway fresh in their minds, and being in some degree under the influence of it, would it be proper to leave the matter to go to the jury in that leose manner. It was creating no extension of the liability of the master other than at present existed, but it was raising a suspicion and doubt in the minds of the jury as to what the muster ought to have done to have escaped damages in the case. The same injustice would be entailed by the clause making the master liable for injuries inflicted by the negligence of one workmen in his employment towards another, and he hesitated not upon the just trammels p employersto p s l a s y ys t r h s that 7in e d re us s t u ry ch th u e n y • uld carry oyance, them on without being subjected to such would remove their establishwents to other quarters where they co Were the measure to pass it must either annoyance. be imperative or be pregnant of great injustice, for one of its first effects would be that, before masters took workmen into their employment, they would make them enter into an agreement to free them from the consequences of the measure. Upon the whole, therefore, as he could see no amendments which could be made in committee which would render the bill such as the house could adopt \ it, he must move that it be read a second time that day six months. Mr. BOVILL opposed the measure, and illustrated the evil consequences which would result from the measure by the case of a gentleman travelling in his carriage and being upset by the carelessness of the coachman. His horses were killed, himself and his wife injured, together with his footman, who afterwards could bring an action against him for the injuries he had sustained by the catastrophe, and if he should happen to have been killed, his wife could bring a similar one. He could not by possibility see how the law could be further extended, having in view the rights both of master and servant. It was a well un derstood law, and, he believed, a just one, and he could see no reason for an alteration in it. Mr. H. A. BRUCE also opposed the measure, as be considered tho law as it stood perfectly satisfactory, as the master was held responsible in every ease where proper care and vigilance had not been used. Were the measure to pass, and an accident similar to that at Ilartley todoccur re , which was caused by the breaking of a beam, as garded which no blame could be attached to th an e owners, the owners of the colliery wou ld, in addition to the im mense loss sustained by it, have to compensate every widow and child of the sufferers, which would be most unjust,Mr. MITFORD con sidered that the provisions of the bill would, if adopted, be attended with great injustice, and would strenuously o ppose it. Mr. W. E. FOS TER hoped that, while they could not go into committee on this measure, nothing that had been sa id against it woul d be taken as showing any indisposition repetitiontakenof those great place.and Sir M. PET O also opposed the measure, wh en on the part of th e house to go into the consideration o f a d recently t m erri ean h s le f e o e r tineipdreenvteenwhigeh had Mr. AYRTON replied, and stated that after the discus sion which had taken place he would not press the second reading of the bill to a division. The second reading of the bill was • accordingly negatived without a division. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT fACT AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Lord ENFIELD suggested that the hon. member for / the Tower Hamlets (Mr. Ayrton), who had an amendment to it on the papers in effect that the members of the Metro politan Board should be elected 1)y the ratepayers direct, instead of by the vestries, should withdraw that amend ment, and bring on a separate measure on the subject. Mr. AYRTON declined to agree to the suggestion, and suggested in turn that the measure should be referred to a sleet commit , ee of 15 members, in order that the various amendments might be properly considered. Mr. CRAUFORD stated that he had no objection to going into committee with the bill as all the amendments suggested by the city had been arranged. After some further conversation, the house went into committee pro forma, and the chairman having reported progress, the house resumed. TURNPIKE TOLLS EXEMPTION (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time and ordered to be com mitted. WHIPPING (No. 2) BILL. This bill was also read a second time. BLEACHFIELDS (WOMEN AND CHILDREN EMPLOYMENT) BILL. This bill passed through committee, and was ordered to be reported. Lord HOLMESDALE obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the laws relating to the sale of spirits. The bill was read a first time. The house then adjourned at half-past five o'clock. THIS DAi'S SHIPPING.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mile pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 2-loths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. fly adviccs from Hamburg the price of gold is 4264 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.61 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 114 per cent., and the premium on gold 3 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. LOLA FERNANDEZ, alias MARGARET HUGHES.-- This notorious individual was again in Manchester a few days ago, but whether she succeeded in swindling any one during this visit we have not ascertained. She told some acquaintances before leaving that she was going direct to Madras; but it is not at all improbable she may turn s up, under some fine name, much nearer home. presence, and and appears to have recently favoured Greenock with her p ese in im posing upon several persons, succeeded, as usual, by her audacious including,won 't pretensions, ld seem, a Roman Catholic clergyman. Dorangeon, who was last week convicted of th e murders in the Rue St. Placide, has made a full confession of his guilt, since his removal to the condemned cell in the prison of La Roquette. After he had signed his appeal to the Court of Cassation, he was again interrogated as to his improbable story of the pretended accomplice, whom he accused of the two murders. After some hesitation he re plied--" I very much regret that I deceived my counsel by persisting in my system of defence in spite of all his solicitations ; I feel certain that, if I had told him the truth, he would have found some arguments that might have modified the verdict of the jury.es of f ß th u e t it is too late now, and I must abide the consequencesnc ine from foolish defence which a false shara d e prevented_ y stolen, only about imagined because the sum of abandoning, after I had once adopted in " H e then proceeded 180 f., had been grosslyit, and which I only being quite that same day to enter exaggerated.

A struggle ensued, and finding that the woman held him fast, he cut her throat, and she died almost instantly. A. moment after he saw the girl re turning, and fearing she would see her aunt's dead body, he took her in his arms, carried her into the kitchen, and killed her also. He then took the keys from the pocket of Mum Cabardos, opened the cupboard, seized on the money and jewelry, and was going to leave, when a man opened the door to ask about lodgings to let in the house. He referred him to the next shop, and then fastened the street door to prevent immediate discovery, and went out the back-way. He threw away his cap, and bought another as he went along ;Mont Parnasse. When he reached the Chaussee du Maine, he hired a room in a lodging house, and secreted his bloody clothes and booty. Such is the confes. Sion of the criminal, and there is every reason to beli e ve it substantially true. PLYMOUTH, Wednesday Morning.—The Cowes pilot boat No. 4, landed the crews of two foundered ships at this port last night. On Saturday morning, at half-past 5, in thick weather, when 70 miles south of Scilly, the ship Negotiator, Captain Moon, with coal from Sunderland, for Genoa, ran into the Russian brig Captain Grauber, with salt, from Liverpool for Revel, which sank shortly after all the crew got on board the ship, but the mate, Adrian Leiman, who was lost in her. The Negotiator, being in a sinking state, was shortly afterwards abandoned by both crews, who took refuge in the barque Talavera, from St. Kitt's, for London, which transferred nu m yes• the pilot boat. terday morning to
