ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—OXFORD, Maui" 1. CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Watson.) G. A. Bennett, aged 19, clerk, was charged with stealing several banknotes and other money, 'amounting altogether to 381., and also jewellery, the property of James Hissey, at Caversham, on the 10th of June, 1857. Mr. Somerset appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Cripps defended the prisoner. It appeared that Mrs. Hissey was a young and rather pretty-looking woman, living separate from her husband in a cottage at Caversham, with one young child. The prisoner, a well-dressed young man, went to Caversham, with the intention of getting a situation as a master at a school in the neighbourhood, and went to lodge at Mrs. Hissey's cottage, which contained two bed rooms and one sitting room. There was no servant, but a woman from an adjoining cottage was in the habit of coming in daily to perform the household duties. The prisoner continued to live in the cottage for about a fortnight, and during that time he occasionally took his meals with Mrs. Hissey, made excursions with her upon the river, and admired the turquoise ring which she usually wore. After some time Mrs. Hissey went up to London by an early train, intending to return at night. The same day the prisoner was seen by the woman sitting in Mrs. Hissey's sitting room ; and laterin the day he professed to start for Ascot races, and, going away, he never made his ,ippearuce again at Caversham. Upon her return home Mrs. Hissey found her boxes broken open, the bank notes and other money gone, and the admired tur quoise ring and other jewellery missing. Every inquiry was made during some months for the pri soner, until at length a London detective, having carefully studied his description, arrested a young gentleman as he was quietly walking with his father in Burlington-street. The young gentleman's stre nuous denial of his identity was not sufficient to satisfy the detective, who after considerable trouble and inquiry discovered that he had arrested the right man. Mr. Cripps, for the defence, pointed out that none of the property had been found upon the pri soner, and he suggested that after the prisoner bad left the cottage some other person might have entered, and, finding the place empty, might have committed the robbery. The jury, however, after spending a considerable time in consideration, found the prisoner guilty. Mr. Baron Watson sentenced him to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, March 2, (Before the Assistant Judge.) Hannah Lewis, 39, and Ann Smith, 22, were in dicted for having stolen a purse and the sum of 1/. 10s., the property and money of Matthias Win. Yates, from the person of Maria Mary Yates. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Sleigh appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Ribton for the prisoners. Mr. Metcalfe said the case he should submit to the jury was that Smith was the person who actu ally committed the theft, and that Lewis was pre sent as an accomplice aiding and assisting. Mr. Yates, the prosecutor, stated that on Dec. 26 he got into an omnibus at the Flower-pot, in Bishopsgate-street, with his daughter, a little girl, who bad with her a purse containing a half-sove reign and 20s. in silver. He was by business a tablecovermanufacturet, at Englefield-road, Kings land, and he was going home from the London Ta vern when he took the omnibus. He had been to a benefit meeting of the Commercial Travell. rs' Be nevolent Institution. lii, (10,11L;Lt-r za,`; uppos.to to him, and the prisoner Smith eat next her. He was certain as to Smith, and the other prisoner, he be lieved, sat next to him. After the omnibus had got about 300 yards past Shonditch Church, Lewis sud denly said to Smith, " Were you not to get out at Shore ditch Ch urch ?" Smith said " Oh, yes;" and the omnibus stopped. Both of them got out. Previous to that they bad not spoken to each other ; they seemed strangers. Directly they were gone he asked his daughter if her purse was in her pocket ; it was not. It . was taken from the s id e nex t t o S m ith . The little girl said she was sure she felt the purse , on her knee after she was in the omnibus, and felt her dress pulled. Police-constable 53 M proved that he knew the prisoners to be constant companions. Fur the last 12 months they had frequented the omnibus station at the Elephant and Castle, and rode in Ringsland 'busses. Mr. Payuter, a traveller, residing in Culford road, Kingsland-road, said he knew both prisoners, from seeing them riding in Kite's Kin.gsland omni buses. Mr. Ribton contended that there was many ao thiug to implicate Lewis, even if it could be consi dered there was anything in the evidence sufficient to raise suspicion against Smith. The jury found Smith guilty, and acquitted Lewis. They were then indicted for stealing a purse con taining money from the person of a certain woman whose name was unknown. The same counsel appeared in this case. The jury found both guilty, and a former convic tion was proved against Smith ; she bad had two months at Reading for picking pockets. There was a third indictment against the prisoners jointly— one against Smith singly, and another against Smith and an omnibus conductor. Lewis had been living eight years with a thiet named Moore. The Assistant-Judge sentenced Lewis to one year's hard labour, and Smith to five years' penal servitude. The last-mentioned charge remains to be tried. (Before Mr. Creasy. Edward Cairns, 19, was indicted for having un lawfully assaulted William Ravening, a police constable, in the execution of his duty. Mr. Metcalfe was counsel for the prosecution, Mr. Pearce for the prisoner. On Sunday morning, the ith Feb., the prosecu tor was on duty at Brentford-end, when his atten tion was called to several persons, the prisoner being one of them, who were iu the thoroughtare, creat ing a great disturbance and using very bad lan guage. On his interfering, one of Clem asked for a light for his pipe, and, on his refusing to comply with bis request, the man struck him several times, for which he was taken into cuitudy. The prisoner got behind the prosecutor and tried to gouge his eyes out, an I the othtr man got away. Three or four joined in the attack upon the constable, and it was a fortunate thing fur him that another con stable came up to his a.sistance. The jury found him guilty. Sentence was postponed. George _Pettit was indicted for having feloniously embezzled divers sums of . money which he had re ceived on account of Thomas Lindsay and another, his masters. Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted ; Mr. Horry appeared for the prisoner. The prosecutors are ale and potter brewers at MiEwell, and the prisoner was in their service to deliver beer to customers and receive mouey, which it was his duty to account for and pay over every night, his pay, with certain emoluments, being about 11. per week. The evidence proved several instances in which he had received money for which he had not given account. then pulled me by my hair through the door, and when he got me outside the house he struck me violently on the face, and gave me this black eye. I was struck many times during the stru; le by seve ral of them, but I distiuctly remember Kennedy striking me on the eye after dragging me out of the house. They then deliberately broke three or four squares of plate glass, and in the confusion the gas-fittings were pulled down. I have been in busi ness 27 years, and never witnessed such a disgrace ful scene before. Mr. Chas. Coles, who appeared with a black eye and a dreadfully swollen face, said—l was in the parlour on the night in question, when Philip Rogers came in and asked for a light. I told him he was not wanted there, and desired him to rejoin his friends in the taproom, upon which he made use of the most violent and disgusting language. I attempted to remove him, and with the assistance of Mr. Mark Coles I got him to the folding doers leading into the bar, when Thos. Rogers came forward, and, seizing mu by the hair, held me while the others struck me. They got me on the ground, and while down they kicked me about the body so severely that I WAS quite unable to notice what took place afterwards. Mr. Mark Coles said—l let the house to Mrs. Coles, who had only been in possession two or three d a ys. I was in the parlour when the prisoner Rogers came in for a light, and I witnessed all that occtirred. Mr. C. Coles was assailed by the who'e of t h e prisoners as soon as they saw him turning Rogers out of the parlour. They pounced upon him like savages. They struck at him indiscriminately, pulled his hair, knocked him down, and I believe they would have killed him if assistance hail not been at hand. I also saw them drag Mrs Coles from behind the bar by the hair. I returned to the parlour to secure property I had with me, and when I got into the bar again I found the pris ,ners breaking the windows. John Ashton said—Wh..n Charles ColeS ejected the prisoner Rogers the latter uttered some sound as a signal to his companions, and they all rushed upon Mr. Coles in a body. Thomas Rogers was the most prominent of the lot in the assault upon him. Edward Mitchell, 126, said-1 was called to the assistance of the parties complaining, and I found Mrs. Coles and her son both bleeding from the face, and four large panes of plate glass broken. I took Kennedy into custody, but he struck and kicked me several times, and was so violent that I was ob liged to use thy tr uncheoo. I also saw Philip Ro gers taken into custody, and h«- , offered such violent resistance that it required four constables to take him to the statiou. The' prisoner Thomas Rogers went quietly. I had seen them previously, and they appeared under the influence of drink, and I thought they looked ripe for a row. Mr. Lewis said he hoped the Alderman would take into consideration the punishinent the pri soners had received at the hands of the police, and mitigate the penalties accordingly. Alderman Humphrey said the police had evi dently bad a very dangerous lot to deal with, and they were justified in protecting themselves from the violence of such rough characters, who other wise might have killed them. Mr. Lewis said he did not justify the conduct of the prisoners, but, looking at the marks on their faces, it was quite clear they had received very severe chastisement. He, however, hoped the Al derman would discharge the woman, as she was not shown to have taken any very active part in the disturbance. WESTMINSTER.—Francis Cook, Sidney Mui ' and William Jones, thre e p r i va t es o f th e Cold stream Guards, were charged with the following outrage : James Seymbur, police-constable 196 B, said that at half past 12 on the night of the 24th ult. he was on duty in North-street, Chelsea, when he saw the three defendants, two other soldiers, and a civilian, standing near the Cock Tavern. The door of the house was shut, and defendant Cook having proposed, with an oath, that they should burst it open, the party proceeded to press against it. Complainant advised them to desist, and not to get themselves into trouble, when Cook inquired what be had to do with it, and again advanced towards the door. Complainaut again spoke to the party with a view of inducing them to abandon their intention of bursting the door open, when Cook struck him a violent blow on the nose, which made it bleed copiously. Complainant seized him by the collar, and after a struggle they both fell, and while complainant was on the ground the de fendant Mann struck him also, and got Cook away. The rest of the party then placed Cook in their rear,and the that complainant could not get at him, epoeradr tea Id, blow wt f a e ov n ana nt d t a ohe n ee .de ywith Junes, iatnh then dhkins oek e d hun advancing, bac k w a struck rds.

MARLBOROUGEI-STREET. The detective Huggett yesterday came to the court and produced the watch sto!en from the woman murdered in the Haymarket. The watch is a very small one, made by Vieyres, and can be identified as the property of the unfortunate woman. There was also a ring found, which formed part of the stolen property. When the prisoner was committed on Monday he was placed in the gaoler's room, well guarded, while a cab was sent tor. The only symptom of fear dis played by the prisoner was when he was called to leave the court. Believing that he should be taken out by the front entrance, before which an excited mob had assembled, he shrank into the corner, ex claiming' in terror, 'Tire people, the people !" When he found he was to be removed privately by the back way he recovered his natural manner, and on the road laughed and jested iu a way to show that he was utterly regardless of the serious posi tion in which he was placed. John Beal, alias Etterin, was charged with having with other persons garotted and robbed George Johnson, licensed victualler, 9, Bear-street, Leicester-square. Mr. Johnson stated that on Tuesday, July 28, about 3 in the morning, the prisoner and three other men came to his house just as he was closing, and were served with refreshment before the bar. He missed one of the prisoner's companions, and in a minute afterwards he was suddenly seized by some one behind, an arm was thrown round his neck, and he was choked in the manner termed ga rotting. He retained sufficient consciousness to be able to see the prisoner and his other companions come round into the bar and rifle his pockets. They took from his pocket a watch which had been de posited with him by one of the garotters for a score of 125., about 20s. in silver, and four sovereigns from his trousers pocket. He struggled very much, but at last became insensible, and when ho came to himself he found ho was alone and bleeding from the nose and mouth. He went out and spoke to Police-constable Batty and told him what had hap pened. Wm. Batty, A. 318, said that, about 20 minutes to 5 o'clock on the morning in question he saw the prisoner and another man come out of Mr. John son's house and walk rapidly away. He had pre viously seen another man and two women come out of the same house. About half an hour after the prosecutor came to him bleeding, and said he had been garotted. He went into the house and found it in confusion. There were appearances of a struggle—pots and broken glasses were strewn about the bar. Police-kergeant Glass, C 3, said that from infor mation he received he went with several constables, about 4 ()click in tho morni ng , t o N o. 6 , T homas! place, Lambeth-walk. He knocked at the street door, but found it secured, and no answer was returned. The door was forced, and on entering he found the prisoner in a room on the ground floor, partly dressed. He told the prisoner he was charged with being one of a gang who had as3aulted and rubbed Mr. Johnson in July last. The pri soner replied, " Very well, I'll go with you." Seeing the prisoner put his hands iu his pocket, he seized his hand, and took from it the knife he now produced. He took the prisoner info the street, and after waling a short distance the pri soner became suddenly violent, struggling and kicking furiously, and calling out, "If I could get hold of one thing you should not forget me." With some difficulty the prisoner's legs were secured with a strap, and he was then lodged in the station house. Prisoner—Was I sober ? Witness—l should say you were not quite sober. Inspac:or Webb said he should be prepared with evidence next Wednesday to prove that the prisoner was a returned transport. Mr. Boadm consented to a remand for a week. He was found guilty and sentenced to six months' hard labour. Ann Reece, 25, was indicted for assaulting Mr. J°s 4 l)ll Samuel Lavies, th e surg eon o f th e West minster BridewelL Mr- Ribton prosecuted. • At the time the assault was committed the pri soner was an inmate of the Bridewell, under a sum mary conv i ction, which ma d e the 35th since 1845. She was a most desperate character. One morn ing she presented herself to the surgeon, with others, as casual sick, and complained ot her throat, and as Mr. Leviers was writing the nature of her complaint in hi s b ook she gave him a tremendous blow on the nose with her clenched fist , which was not by any means a d e li cate one.

As he we n t w i th a nose bled male officer to have her secured she kinked and scratched him, used the most dreadful languag:, and threatened to " do" for him when she got outside the walls. On her diseharge she was taken on a warrant for this as blt, when she impudently sa id s h e only slapped. face. ,_7 11 5 inr7 found her guilty, and Mr. Creasy sea beoced her to six months' hard labour. Richard Evan s , 27 pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing some fowl% fr , d Hammersmith, belongtng to the Genoemral usymarn.ibus Company. Sentence was deferred. THE SON, fidtsll37,ON' Cook then said he would serve every policeman he met in the same way, that he wanted to be dis charged from his regiment, that he had had fifty lashes, and could stand fifty more at any time. Complainant had been confined to his bed ever since the above attack. Mr. G. Pearse, surgeon, 10, Regent-street, West minster, said that he was called to complainant im mediately after the occurrence, and although he had seen him repeatedly before, he was so shock ingly disfigured that he did not know him. He bad several severe injuries on the face and head, the right side of which, with the ear, was one mass of bruises ; his left eye was severely injured, appa rently by a belt. Complainant had not left his bed till he came to this court to make his complaint. It having been stated that the accused had been confined to barracks until complainant was suffi ciently recovered, Mr. Paynter said that the case was of so serious a description that it ought to be prosecuted by the Government, and conducted by some professional gentleman. The accused were then remanded for a week. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar General.) In the week that ended on Saturday, Feb. 27, 1,288 deaths were registered in London, a number which exhibits a slight increase on that of the pre vious week. In the 10 years 1848-57 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,209 ; but as the deaths returned for last week occurred in an increased population, they should be compared with the average when the latter has been raised in proportion to the in crease, a correction which will give 1,330. The re sult of the figures as stated is thtt the deaths in last week wtre less by only 42 than those which would have taken place by the estimated mortality. The mean temperature of the air last week was 33.1 deg., which is 6 deg. below the average. In the same week of February, 1855, the cold was con siderably more severe ; the mean temperature fell to 261 deg., and the deaths in London rose to 1,604. The total number of deaths in the last two weeks were nearly the same ; they were 1,275 and 1,288; and the numbers in the two weeks, in five distinct periods of life, show also extremely little variation; the deaths under 20 years of age were re , pectively t 10 anti 609 ? those in the period 20-40 years, were 160 and 164 ; those in the next period, 40-60, were 201 and 204 ; at 60 to 80, 243 and 250 ; and deaths at 80 years and upwards 61 and 57. Of the 57 deaths 9 wore those of nonagenarians, the oldest t f whom was a widow, aged 94 years. The deaths from diseases of the respiratory organs were iu the last two weeks 327 and 339 (the corrected average for last week being 293) ; those from bronchitis were 191. and 195 (the average being 151); those from pneumonia 102 and 105 (the ave rage being 91). Phthisis was fatal iu the same times in 158 and 146 cases. It appears, therefore, that the observation which wrs made in the last weekly report remains equally applicable to the facts ob tained from the returns of an additional week— that, though the mortality of bronchitis is higher than usual, the continuance of cold weather had not been attended by a continual increase of the morta lity from pulmonary complaints. The deaths from whooping-cough have exceeded 50 in each of the last six weeks ; those from measles again rose last week to 57 ; the disease being chiefly fatal in the east districts, particularly St. George in the-East, Limehoute, and Poplar. Scarlatina carried off 53 persons, of whom 4 were adults ; " diphtheria" is re. orded in 11 cases, either as the primary cause of death, or as supervening on some otbi r form of disease. Three young child! en died of ihea:es, nil on the 2C1;,1 Feb., in t-13 t. crlc."lcuie at Norwood. In addition to the 4 deaths from measles in the St. Pancras Workhouse mentioneti last week, five occurred in the same house from that disease, as fo;lows :-3 on Feb. 16, one on the 17th, and one on the 19th. Last week the births of 924 boys and 868 girls, in all 1,810 children, were registered in London. In the N corresponding weeks of the years 1848-57 the average number was 1, 648. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer iu the week was 29.837 in. The highest barometrical realing occurred on Thursday, and was 30.21 in. The mean tempera tute of the week was 33.1 deg., and the mean daily reading was below the average on every day, toe extent of depression on the last three days having been equal to 7 deg. or 9 deg. The mean daily range of temperature in the week was 12.9 deg. The highest reading of the thermometer in the week was 44.1 deg. on Wednes lay : the lowest was 25.5 deg. on Friday, or 8.5 deg. below the freezing point of water. On that day the highest reading was 37.2 deg., and the mean 30.3 deg. The diffor enee between the mean dew point temperature and air temperature was 5.6 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 77 : on Thursday the hu midity was only 67. Tile mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 37.2 deg., or 4 deg. above ihat of the air. During the first half of the week the wind blew from thesouth-east and east; during the remainder from the north-east. No rain was measured in the week. THE YORKSHIRE COAL TRADE.—The metropolitan consumers of coal are about to obtain a better article from the South Yorkshire pits, in consequence of a con cession made by the Great Northern Railway Company, after frequent applications to the colliery owners of that district. Tee quality of the coal hitherto sold indiscrimi nately at King's.-cross as " Silkstone" has varied consi derably according to the quality of the seam from which it was obtained and the care exercised in dressing it ; but, as no advantage accrued to the individual proprie tors of the different pits from either of these recommen dations, an obvious injustice was dote to the owners of the best coal, and no inducement held out to any of the proprietors to send their mineral to market in the best condition. For the future, however, the coal is to be sent out with the name of the colliery supplying it, and the beneficial results of the change are already seen 1 in the grt ater pains bestowed on cleaning the coal intended for the London market and the competition excited among the colliery owners to bring their produce into more extensive consumption in London and else• where. The quantity of coal sent out from the South Yorkshire district last year has greatly increased, as the following floras will show :—Half-year ended Jun , 1855, 151,270 tons; Dec., 1855, 270;485 tons; June, 1856, 304,650 tons ; Dec., 1856, 418,639 tons ; June, 1857, 433,983 tons ; Dte., 1857, 444,833 tons.

The excitement which the two previous examinations produced bad no in the least abated, in fact i- teemed to have greatly increased. The outside of the court and the passages leading to the interior being crowded with persons, mostly foreigners, anxious to be present during the inve-tigation. Mr. Bodkin, on the part of the Treasury, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. Leverson, defended the prisoner. The first witness called to-day was M. Joseph de Georgi I reside at Brussels I assist in keeping the Café Suisse, in Tichbourne-street. I know the prisoner Ber nard. I have known him some time. I first knew him in Brussels, in 1849, but I have not seen him in Lon don until the 16th of October, when he came in the ordinary way to the cafe. I left London in Decem ber last for Brussels. I saw Bernard there two or three days before I left. I recollect the prisoner asking me about gas. He asked me if I knew anybody connected with gas administration. I said I knew a Mr. Bremacker, a gentle man connecte d with the gas works in Bru sse l s ; an d h e t h en inventionsaid h t h e . s t h d o aa t p l y l p d :bi c l u i a k tb e ol en t o ttohi seeafsto. He did n o t say any thi ng fur therhl following gentleman, as h e h a d a new o s wing evening he brought five pieces of iron, they were round --like an orange cu t i n t wo --half a ball. They were hollow, there was nothing in them. There was a hole in them for a screw. I did not try to screw them together, but it appeared to me they would fit each other. Mr. Bodkin —Did you see small holes'in them besides the one for screw ? Mr. Sleigh objected to the question. It was leading the witness. The Magistrate—l think you can hardly object to the question. The Witness There were a number of small holes besides the one I have mentioned. Bernard gave me the balls to take to Brussels for a new invention in gas. He said, " Take them to Brussels. An Englishman, who is at Liege, will fetch them away in my name " I took them with me in my carpet bag. On the Saturday following this conversation I left London for Ostend and took the balls with me in a carpet bag. I saw Bernard taking his coffee in my house when I left. He did not say anything to me. On my arrival in Brussels I went to the Cafe Suisse. I arrived there about half-past nine. When I arrived I carried the balls to the cafe. I placed them in the smoking-room, on a table, with my coat and other things. After supper I opened my carpet bag to take out a handkerchief, and at the same time I took out the five half balls and placed them on the mantel-shelf. I know Mr. Regensz ; he saw those half balls on the shelf, and he afterwards took them in his hand. Some days after Ber nard arrived in Brussels. He went into the room where the half balls were. He asked me where the balls were, and I pointed to them on the shelf. He said they must not remain there, as it was a new invention for gas. I removed them in consequence of that observation and placed them in my bedroom. After this conversation Bernard left the house. In a day or two after this Ber nard came again to the cafe. He said he had come for the gas balls—that he wanted them as he was going to the Column-gate. I wrapped them up in a piece of newspaper for him, and he left. It was about half-past 3or 4 o'clock in the afternoon when this occurred. Some few days after Bernard returned and brought the balls with him, and also another ball in his hand wrapped up in paper. The substances in the paper were larger than those I took from England. They were of the same shape. Referring to the paper parcel, he said, " They were made iu the country.. He spoke again about the invention for gas, and said one day he would make acquaintance with Bremacker. I never went with him to that gentleman. lie never made any further application for an introduc tion, bat said wh en h e cane b ac k to B russe l s h e wou ld b e glad to make his acquaintance. He shortly afterwards told me he was going to London, and the balls were re placed in my room. Mr. Jardine—The large as well as the small? Witness —Yes. Mr. Bodkin —Did Bernard tell you what you were to do with them ?. Witness—Ffe told me to put them in my room, and give them to a person who would take tb.rn home fo l'srii. Ho hail previously told me he shuttle require a horse to be hired for an Englishman. I had in my service in the cafe at Brussels a waiter named Cassimer Zeighers. It was ultimately arranged between myself and Ber nard that this person was to go to Paris with the horse. After the arrangement was made he visited the cafe, but not frequently. On the day following the con versation about the horse the Englishman arrived and was sent for into the saloon. On entering I found Bernard there. Another person was at one of the other tables. Bernard said, pointing to the person, "This is the English. men." This p erson was M. O rsin i, I have known him from comityg to the Cafe Suisse in Tichborne-street. At this time he wore a long beard, but when I saw him on the oc casion I have spoken of in Brussels he had large whiskers, but no beard. Orsini asked me if I had left London, and I told him I had, and Orsini then said he was going to Paris. Bernard and Orsini then shortly afterwards quitted the house together. Mr. Bodkin—As they were going out did they say any thing about the halls? Mr. Sleigh—l object to the leading of the witness. Mr. Jardine—The question is quite regular. Witness—Bernard said, Give the balls to Cassimer who is to take them to Paris." Orsini said he had to be at Paris that day at half-past five at the Hotel de l'Europe. I in troduced Oassimer to M. Orsini when the hour for his de parture was fixed upon. I put the balls into the carpet 1 bas, but one of theta by accident was left behind. He left about a quarter past five and returned to Brussels on the following Sunday. After Cassimer had left I saw M. Bernard several days after. After this occurrence I re collect two persons coming to my house—l did not know either of them. One of them had a white beard all round the face and the other a black. Mr. Bodkin— Did one of them present you with a piece of paper? Mr. Sieigh—l object to further questions on this point until they are identified as being connected with the pri -801:101% Jardine—The examination had better go on. Witness—The one with the black beard gave me a piece of paper, and in consequence of that I gave him the ball, which was left behind. I have seen the one with the white beard singe, at Brussels, before Captain Lebalmondiere. Mr. Bodkin— What's his name? Witness—l have forgotten. Mr. Jardine—After you had been told he was one of the persons to whom you gave the ball, did you recognise him ? Witness—l did not. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh —I reside at Brussels at . the present time. I was first asked to come over and give evidence on last Sunday week by the Imperial Procureur, , at the prison where I was in Brussels. I had been there 26 days. It was at 11 o'clock at night that the police and others came to,rny house and took me away, and charged me as an accomplice in the attempt to assassinate the Emperor, in having been concerned in carrying the balls to France. The Procureur - General, attended by t wo gen d'armes, put me in a carriage and t oo k me t o th e packet. I was accompanied on board by gens d' armes . e They ourr e remaine de d at Ostend, but I was met there by a cabinet, who brought me to Dover. I was handed over from one to the other. The per son who brought me to London is not living with me. I am now with Sergeant Adams and Inspe c t or S aunders. lam now stopping at Morley's Hotel. There is a person i n cour t who is stopping with sue. that hotel. the witnesses that came f rom B russe l s Nobody prevents them going where Mr. stopping B odeaitn h where they please. I know n o more about the conspiracy than I have told to - day . M. honest man, h a d b een robbed of his liberty because he ba d hel p e d him out of fri e nd s hip. H e knew nothing of the matter. There were vi c ti ms enoug h tnss, an that the witness, Bernard, in a most emphatic m anner, h ere declared p roprietor o f th e Cafe Suisse i n Brussels. already— three in Par is and one here; and h e did no t see why anyther person should be put in danger, It was infamous. i m opened. It was made of metal and sometime Louis perfe c tly well • he left my house in December. He le ft a packet behind' him, which was in the shape of a p ear. I t unscrewed in th e m iddle. I observed another h ole at th e top; a t th e b ottom there were smaller ones. I saw M . Bernard in the c a f e , when he said he had asked M r . Geo rgi to put it away, as it was a new invention ; and I sai d I don't see ho w it i s to econo miss the consumption of g"; and h e sa id i t is a new in vention. I recollect Caseirner being sen t t o P aris with a e horse. He left on Friday and returned on Sunday morn ing. I did not see him take anything with him. Mr. Sleigh —Were you arrested in Brussels like M. Geergi ? Wi•ness—l was threatened with arrest. Mr. Sleigh—Who threatened you with arrest at Brussels ? Witness—The Judge of Instruction. Mr. Sleigh—Did he insist on your coming to England to give evidence Witness—No • Mr. Sleigh—Who did then ? Witness —A gentleman from the English Embassy. Mr. Sleigh—You did not come here at your own expense? Witness—No, Jullien Fournarier.—l am a waiter at the Cafe Suisse. I recollect Bernard coming to Brussels in December last. The day after his arrival I saw two half balls. There were some large ones some middle size and ono small one. They were made of csst iron. I unscrewed one and examined it. It was about 5 inches long and of an oval form. I observed several holes at one end in it. There was besides these holes at the other end a large screw, which I turned a few times. There was nothing in the ball. I don't know how they were taken away. Mr. Sleigh—How large were the holes? Witness—About the size of a quill. Mr. Sleigh —The ball was smooth all round ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Sleigh—you could see the light through the holes . Witness—l don't know. I did not try. M. Georgi recallel and in answer to Mr. Sleigh agreed with the last witness with respect to tho size of the holes. He did not hold the balls up to the light, so he was unable to say whether the light could be seen through them. Cassimer Zeighers.—l was a waiter at the Café Suisse, in Brussels, in December last. I engaged in Dscernber last to take a horse from Brussels to Paris. Ido not recol lect the date—it was at the beginning of December. I was employed to take the horse by a gentleman, who said he was an Englishman, through the medium of my master. I saw the gentleman in Paris. We started together from Brussels. I carried some objects male in iron which M. Georgi g ave me. I cannot say how many there were; there might be eight or ten —they were half balls. I car ried them in my carpet bag. I travelled in a cab to the rail way station, and I was accompanied by the English man, whom I now know to be Orsini, and a M. Jour.lain. the commissionaire of the Hotel ‘'s) l'Europe. Orsini tra velled by the same train as I did. I went in the box in which the horse ,vas. I took the carpet bag inside the horse-box. The curry comb was in the bag wi'h tho balls. The train arrived in Paris between five and six o'clock in the morning. The 13,,g, on the arrival of the train, was opened by the Custom-house officers who looked at them and allowed them to peas. Orsini went to the Hotel Lille et Albion. He went in a carriage and I followed him with the horse. On arriving at the hotel I found Orsini there ; I took out the contents of the carpet bag and placed it iu the passage and told the waiter the things belonged to that gentleman. I afterwards went to see my sister, and returned to the Ifotel. I did not see Orsini there, but I saw him in the course of the evening. He Paid me my fan bask, and 20 fano for my trodlv. WED NES:DA Y EVEN! NG,' 'MATCH 3, 18,58 I returned to Brussels on the Sunday following. I arrived here about 12 o'clock, and at the Cafe Suisse I saw K. Bernard; I told him that the horse had arrived safe. He said "he knew it." I have not been to Paris. Mr. Sleigh—Were you arrested when M. Goorgi was! Witness—Yes. The further hearing of the case was then postponed until Thursday next, at two o'clock. Mr. Sleigh to Mr. Bodkin—l suppose the case will not finish on that day ? Mr. Bodkin—Oh ! quite impossible. . . Mr. Sleigh, addressing Mr. Jardine—Then, sir, I have again to ask you to a twit my client to bail. It is not for the sake of the two d,ys that must elapse before the case is again proceeded with, but as it will be some time before it is concluded, I ask you, air, to admit the prisoner to bail. Mr. Jai dine—l don't think the time has yet arrived for such an application. Bernard—l have to ask von, air, a most important favour. I ask you, sir, to ask for Orsini to come here, to this land of freedom, and speak all he knows. He can completely prove me guiltless of the charge that is made against me. Let Olsini be sent for, and then, in this free land, he will speak, as he has not yet been able to do. I have another favour to ask, that is, that I may see the papers. How can I prepare my defence without I know what is the charge against me ? I ask you, sir, to give orders that I may read the papers every morning. Mr. Sleigh—l have been in communication with the Chairman of the Middlesex Magistrates, and they have refused to allow, in favour of this gentleman, the slighoest relaxation of the prison rules. I regret the decision, as the prisoner is a gentleman of education. Mr. Bodkin—This person is not the first man of educa tion that has been confined in prison. Jardine—There are certain rules made for the regu lation of the prison. I have no power to interfere. Bernard - I can't prepare my defence, then Mr. Sleigh—My client has made a statement which he wished me to make—an application for production of Orsini. Such an application I know you have not power to grant, and I cannot imagine the Government of France would agree to such a production if made by the Engli s h G overnmen t . I trust on next application for bail your worship will n it think me importunate according to the progress the (ale has made. Bernard is most likely, if the application is not granted, to be imprisoned for some time. Jardine.—l don't say there has been any delay on the part of any person, but two or three hours a day is hardly sufficient time to go on with a case like the present. Why not devote a whole day. I am perfectly ready to assent to such a course. After a fe ,v observations between the learned gentlemen concerned in the case, it was decided that the examination should be proceedd with on Thursday next at two o'clock. THE CHARGE AGAINST MR. ISAAC BUTT, M.P. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE. [The following appeared in our late edition of last evening :—] The Committee re-assembled this morning at 12 o'clock. Sir J. Graham in the chair. Mr. Roebuck stated that as Mrs. Parr's husband died lot night she was unable to attend the comrni tee, and she left her honour and her character in toe bar de of the cnairman. Sir J Graham read the folio wing letter from Mr. Edwin James : " Brookes's Club, Monday, March 14 " Madam,—My name having been mentioned in the course of the inquiry now pending in the petition ag iinst Mr. Butt, with reference to a very serious charge against yourself, viz , that of your having been a party to an at tempt to extort money, under threat of publishing a defa matory libel upon myself and others, I think it due to you to state that, upon an investigation into the circumstances referred to, I Lave reason to be convinced that no imputa tion of any kind should rest upon you with reference to this transaction, and that the explanation given by you to the committee is correct, which explanation has removed the impression I entertained when I mentioned the subject to the advisers of Air. Butt, and authorise.' them to ask the questions which were put to you. I was prepared to give this explanation verbally to the committee, but this letter may perhaps suffice.—l am, Madam, your ob e dient servant, (Signed) " EDWIN JAMES. "To Mrs. Parr, 17, Old Bond-street." The Chairman asked Mr. Butt if he had found Mr. Ttoebuck's c c)ccr. Ltt,r l elative ti the presenta tion of the petition. Mr. Butt's answers had been put in and published, and it wai only right and fair that Mr Roebuck's I , ot, rs shoul , i also be produced. Mr. Butt said he was sorry to say he could not find it. He recollected its purport. It was that Mr. Roebuck wished to act in a fair and honourable manner towards him in bringing forward this charge. Mr. Butt having correct-A some slight errors that had crept into the minutes of evidence, was cross-examined*by Mr. Roebuck, He said he definitively concluded (accord ing to the best of his recollection) with the Ameer to go to India after the 2 ith July, 1857. He determined early in August to test the sincerity of the Ameer by asking him for 500/. ; and the cheque for 300/. bore date the 11th August; this was all t he money he ever had from the Ameer before the 2,000/. He had received money from Mr. Coffey, but on matters entirely private, and had nothing to do with the Ameer. When he received only 300/. he was not satisfied, and he wanted to enter into an agreement with the Ameer personally, but Mr. Edward Coffey obj acted. The Arneer, before leaving for India, wanted a dispatch reinstating him in his lands. He told him he could not have it, but that he might rely on one being sent to India, and arrive; there as soon as the Ameer. Ile never promised the Ameer that he should see a copy of the despatch before leaving England, nor said anything that could have led to such a belief. A few days after, the Ameer received a reply from the Board of Directors before leaving this coun try. He was unable to say why he delayed leaving. He believed much misapprehension existed between him and the Ameer owing to misrepresentations arising from trans lating the conversations. The first arratwetnent with the Amer was that he should have 5,0001 . on s t ar ti ng , and 6,000/. on landing in Bombay. Aft er w ar d s it was changed, and he was to be pail 3,000/. in cash and 7,00U1. iby bills, payable at Bom bay. At one time it was suggested that the bills should be accepted by the Mercantile Bank of India in Broad-street, but it was afterwards abandoned ; he gathered from Sir H. Seymour at Vienna that he had neverseen Mr. Coffey, and the result of his information was from hear say statements ; he could not say it the Ameer expected he would now go out to India, but he believed the Ameer was under the impression he could call upon him to go out. If he did not go he should not raise the question 'of forfeiture of the money. If he did not ko out he should return the money, bat if it was n .t for the interest of the Ameer he should go to India he should not return the money. When he was at Trieste the Ameer made him a larger offer, but be declined to accept it, from the Ameer being entirely under his power. When he mentioned to the Ameer he was to have 10.0001. he thought he saw an expression of surprise in the Anaeer's features that led him to believe the arrangements had not been correctly represented to the Ameer. He de clined to have further negotiations with the Ameer until he was in the hands of agents upon whom he could rely. He was never to receive any money, except for his services in Bombay. There might have been this contihgency, that, if the answer of the Board of Control had been positively unfavourable, there might have bean n o e n g ag ement be tween him mail the Ameer. By Sir J. Graham—He had an express stipulation with Mr. Vernon Smith that nothing he ever said should be used against the int , rests of Ali Moorad, and be also stipu lated to Mr. Mangles that nothii.g be might say should be brought under the Court of Directors. His communica tions with Mr. Vernon Smith wero to him as President of the Board of Control, and they wero masked private. Sir J. Graham—Your correspondence with the Board of Directors and the President of the Board of Control are not recorded. Are nut these facts consistent with the agreement as to secrecy ? Witness—No ; my communications to Mr. Vernon Smith were addressed to him private, and I should have been much surprised to have found any of them on record at the Board of Control. It was understood that in the new Parliament Sir F. Kelly should conduct the proceed ings and give the notices. There was an arrangement that Sir F. Kely should make the motion, and he (Mr. Butt) make a speech urging the ()laical of .1i Moored Mr. Rolt, a member of the house, urged him strongly t o speak, but it was after that that negotiations were opened with the Board of Control. Mr. Coffey, on behalf of the Ameer, said the whole question should be planed in his hands, but he said he would not agree to it, as all he wanted was that nothing should be done without his knowledge. Coffey was very distinct in saying that the Ameer was entirely in his bands; and when it was suggested to him to open negotiations with the' Board of Control, it was hinted that he might again have the parlia mentary control of the question, but the responsibility was never assumed. He never told Sir J. W. Hogg that he would bring the question before Parliament during the session of 1857, without some concession were made to Ali Moorad. (This part of the evidence of Sir J. W. Hogg was read.) He did not say Sir J. W. Hogg had falsely alisre presented the conversations between them, but be had cer tainly entirely misrepresented it. He might have told Sir J. W. Hogg that the Ameer had been an ill-used man, and that the directors would be great fools to allow the question to be raised in Parliament. Sir J. Graham--Why? Mr. Butt —Becau.e news of the Indian revolt arrived. Sr J. Graham—ls it not the character of diplomacy to say one thing and mean another? Mr. Butt—l don't know that it is. What I said I meant. Sir J. Graham—Sir J. Hogg and you urged him to expedite the business, in order that you might not lose the session. Mr. Butt said that those answers had been put into his month. If he bad been left to himself be would never have given su'l answers. Sir J. Graham having adverted to some of the questions which drew forth the replies of Sir J. W. Elngg, said Wit many of them were not leading questions, but were per fectly fair. Mr. Butt then said he wished to retract the insinuation he had thrown oat against Mr. Roe , rnck. By Sir J. Graham- He had stipulated with Mr. Vernon Smith that his converiations with him should be private and confidential, although the visits to the Board of Con trol were of an official character. He had assured Mr. V. Smith that if the conversations were in any w .y divulged, the memorial of Ali Moored would never be , presenter' Th , t was enti re l y with view of protecting the ruterests of Ali Moorad. He kept Mr. V. Smith's letters to him private, with the exception of one letter—that which Mrs. Parr said she saw. Mr. Smith said he was at liberty to give the general purport of the communic a tions, but that the details of the caminenications must be 'kept secret. It was true that Mr. Smith's letters' to him--were now on their way to India, but none of those letters were of the slightest im portance. He would not say that if he searched through his papers in Dublin, which be had not an opportunity of doing, some of these letters-rniglit be found: Whatever might be the n 'tune of those letters they were not immediately available for the use of the committee. On the 12th Ang., 1857, he banked with Mr. Harries, west-end banker, but on the 24th of that mouth he opened an account with Messrs. Glyn. who were. the bankers to the railway Com pany of which he wa. chairman. • Sir J. Graham—Mr. Coffey' has stated in his evidence that it was in July, 1856, and not, as You say in August, y that the fi rs t o ff er o f 5,0001. was' made to ou to advocate the Ameer's claims in Parliainint Do you deny that? Mr. Butt—Most positively. No such offer was male to me directly or indirectly. N o words were used which in any way could be tortured into such an offer. Nothing Was said to me nritil 1 -4 57, when I said that by going to India I ivight lose my profession, and probably my seat in Parliament, Sir J. Graham—You deny that the offer WWI regle to you in 1856? Mr. Butt—l am not on my oath. I wish I was. But I state—So hell) me G it is untrue. Sir Jame's Graham- -Mr. C dley has stated that in July, iB:"}6, he s to you on the authority of the Aweer, that if you succeeded in gaining hire the reiteration of his lands he would give you 5,0001., and that you said you would be satisfied. Is that true ? Mr. Butt--It is positively untrue. By Sergeant Kinglake—Until the proposal was made to him to go to India he h a d no money arrangemen t with Mr. Coffey or any other persons relative to the Ameer's claims. It was about the 31st of June that the pro posal was first made to go to India. Mr. Coffey spoke to him about it in the ab.ence of the Arnow.. The Ameer had spoken to him about going out as his agent, whereupon he laughed. When Mr. Coffey spoke of it witness told him he could not afford to go as he had something to do at home. Mr. C , ffey s aid, " Oh, he means to give you 10,0 )01." On the following day the Ameer came to him, and Mr. Coffey interpreted what he said, which was to the effect that the kmeer was deter mined not to go to India without llr. Butt under existing circumstances, and that he was willing to give him 10,00 That was the l'first time that he treated it as a serious matter. Mr. Sergeant Kinglake read portions of Mr. Coffey's evidence bearing upon these points, to which Mr. Batt replied that there was not a word of truth in it. Sir J. Graham —Did you state to Hr. dangles that if the Court of Directors did not maice the concession which you proposed on the part of Ali Moored, it would be your duty to bring the matter before Parliament ! Mr. Butt—Unquestionably not in any conversation. Sir J. Graham—What was the object of your communi cation? Mr. Butt—To obtain a speedy answer. Sir J. Graham—Mr. Mangles state i that what he un derstood you to say was, that if the Court of Directors did not make the concession you demanded on the part of Ali Nfooral, it would be your duty to bring the matter before Parliament. Is the fact correctly stated by %lr. Mangles ? Mr. Butt—l told Mr. Mangles that unless the case was arranged it would be brought before Parliament. I made that statement on the authority of Mr. Vernon Smith. I am almost certain that I never said I should bring the matter before Parliament myself. Sir J. Graham—Had you the control of the Parliamen tary proceedings at that time f Mr. Butt—l might have assumed them at any time I liked. By Mr. Bright—An appeal to Parliament was contem plated throughout the proceedings in the event of other means failing. He suggested that the matter should be brought before Parliament directly he heard of the case. From the beginning he thought the appeal to Parliament was the only plan to be adopted, and any other course would only be a waste of time. It was upon that point mainly that he (witness) differed from the other advisers of the Anaeer. There was no other tri bunal that he knew of than- Parliament after appeals to Cannon-row and Leadenhall-street ha I failed. Neither Mr. V. Smith, Mr. Mangles, Sir J. Hog, nor any other Tytrson ever comp' d tha he hid put a pressure upon them in zeference to the Atneer's claims, which he had no right to put. Menacing such persons would be the most certain way of securing failure. Mr. George Hastings Otway, Q.C., said that he knew Mr. Butt. After Trinity Term, 1857, he ha I some con versation with him about going to India. Mr. Butt told him of some In lien prince who had cone to England to obtain a restitution of his territory, and that he was anxious that some person of char: ctor should go with him. He told him that be was to have 10,000/. ; and he advised him to go. Mr. Butt also spoke to Dr. Stokes ou the sub ject. Mr. David Boys, a member of the Irish bar, said that towards the latter end of lune he had a convers tti•tn with Mr. Butt, at his house in Duidin. Mr. Butt told them all who were assetu bled there, that he had au offer to go to India with a native Prince, to advocate his claims there, and that he was to have 10,0001. Mr. Butt coasulte t Dr. Stokrs on the subject. Captai❑ Keys, an officer in the Indian army, said he remembered a conver-ation bAween Ali liLoorad and Mr. Butt in the first week of July, 1857. Mr. Butt told him to ask the Ameer whether he had sent a message that Mr. Coffey had been ctwating him. The A.tneer said, no. Mr. Butt then asked him whether it had been represented to him that money bad been spent on his behalf for the purpose of securing Parliamentary influence, and the Ameer said it had. ILA. Mr. Butt then told him that if any one made such represe❑tations to him they would be false, and if money was so spent it would ruin his cause, and that if it was done Mr. Butt would have nothing to do with him. The Ameer repli'd that he was not so deficient in sense as to believe such tales as that. Mr. Butt then caused the Ameer to be asked whether Mr. Coffey still retained his confidence, when the Ameer said he did. By Mr. Bouverie--Nothing was said by the Ameeraboul any p:►ywent to Mr. Butt. 16.. James Coffey was called and examined by the chairman—He and his two brothers, with Mr. Butt, were engaged in the Ameer's case. He never had any conversation with either of his brothers in reference to remuneration to be given to Mr. Butt for his services on behalf of the Ameer. He never heard that remunera tion was proposed to be given to him until within the last fortnight. In July, 1857, Mr. Butt told him that he had an offer to go to India with the Ameer, and he concluded that it was a resent arrange ment. He told him that he was to have 10, 001., but witness did not hear anything that induced him to conclude that it was part payment for past ser vices. In none of his conversations with his brother Edward was there any reference to pay,nent for Mr. Butt's past parliamentary services. The witness went into a long explanation of a letter he had written to his brother Edward complaining of his conduct, and showing that certain matters had been concealed from him by Mr. Butt, a knowledge of which induced him to change hie opinion, and to exonerate his brother from blame. Mr. Butt was recalled, and was examined by Mr. Ser geant Deasy, in reference to the pecuniary charges against Mr. Edward Coff. y, made in the evidence of previous days. He said he had not a very accurate recollection of what he said at the Board of Control, but he was under the impres sion that he said he had been to the Board of Control, and mentioned that he had received those sums which Ali Akh bar had said had been appropriated by Mr. Edward Coffey. That explanation he had given to Mr. David Coffey. The 'hairman inquired whether there was any more evidence, and Mr. Roeb..ck and Mr. Deasy both said they had nothing more to produce.
