The object of this undertaking is to construct a public 'n uay, early o ne m il e an d a half i n extent, to be accessible at all times of the tide, combined with machinery for discharging laden vessels, and adapted 1. To the great object of a rapid discharge of coals. 2. To the Steam Navigation Trade, in conjunction with the Vackwall Railway, for the conveyance of passengers to the heart of the metropolis. 3. To the coasting trade and all vessels requiring a speedy delivery of their cargoes. The principal feature in this undertaking is the discharge of Coals by machinery on the wharfs into one or two ton bitzes, and conveying them to the cellar of the consumer without either change or breakage, or into barges alongside, and towing them to their respective destinations by steam tugs, in strings of a number at a time. Thus the interests of the merchants and the consumers in all parts of London will be consulted—the shipowner will have his 'vessel afloat in the stream, without obstructing or impeding the n avigation—the i n t en ti ons of the Legislature (contained in the Reports of the Navigation of the River Thames, and on the Coal Trade) in clearino. the Pool not only of the colliers, but of the straggling barges, will be most completely carried out—and the construction of collier 'or steam docks (the impracticability and i nconvenience of which have been fully established) will be ob. N-l ated, no compulsory clause will be required, and th e di sc h arge of the coals can be effected without any additional expense, and at a great'saving in point of time to the coal and shipowners. The estimated revenue has been calculated on data from Custom house'and Parliamentary documents, and shows a largo remunerat ing profit to the shareholders. Resolutions in favour of the measure have been passed by the colliery an d s hi p owners o f th e nort h of England, and by the town council of Newcastle. The Committee, therefore, recommend it with confidence to the on account of its importance as a great national wo r k, it s certainty o f profit to the shareholder, and from the substantial sup_ port it has already received. The plans, sections, and books of reference have been deposited with the clerks of the peace and parish clerks—notices have been given to the owners and occupiers —and the standing orders have been complied with to obtain an Act of Incorporation in the next Session.

LONDON COLLIER and STEAM -SHIP PING WHARF COMPANY—Shipowners' Society, South Shields, November 1, 1836. At a MEETING of the Committee, held THIS DAY, M r. JO HN CLEUGH, th e P r e s ide n t, i n the Chair, A Plan having been laid before the committee for cheapening and expediting the delivery of Colliers at the Isle of Dogs (by means of machinery, to be erected on a wharf), either into barges, or on to a railroad connecting the wharfs with the whole of the metropolis, and with sufficient depth of water alongside the wharf for the ves sels to lie afloat at all times of the tide. It was Resolved, that it is the opinion of this committee, that such a plan, having for its object(without any compulsion) a cheap and snore expeditious mode of delivering coals from colliers, and t ransmitting them to the cellars of the merchants and consumers, is deserving the warm support and approbation of all shipowners in terested in the coal trade ; and that the Member for the borough of South Shields be requested to support the measure in Parlia- I nent, provided the using the wharfs and machinery is not rendered compulsory on the vessels, and the Company undertake to make n d m a i nta i n su ffi c i ent d ept h of water alongside the wharfs that laden ships may lie afloat in safety at all times of tide.

This fact was impressively dwelt upon last Sunday, by the Rev. Mr. Judkin, the minister of the Somers-town Episcopal Chapel, in a sermon preached by him on behalf of the Sick Visiting Society of the district. It was detailed in his Christian appeal that whole families of the labouring classes were ill and starving. The fune rals to the burial grounds in the St. Pancras-road alone, amount to at, least '2O daily. Yesterday '23 were interred, 10 of the number being paupers. The decease of Sir John Soane, the eminent archi tect, artist, and antiquarian, has excited a great sensation in the literary and scientific circles of society. It is not generally known that, in a philosophic spirit, which " knew and did not fear death," he erected his own mausoleum in the extensive burial-ground of the Episcopal Chapel of St. Giles's, adjacent to that of St. Pancras Old Church. The mortality which has happened in Banff during the last three weeks has been more extensive, sudden, and unexpected, than we remember to have taken place within bo short a period ; where individuals laboured under other diseases, particularly of a chronic nature, and were attacked with influenza, it has in most cases proved fatal. The aged and infirm, in particular have fallen victims to its ravages. The mortality of Brechin and suburbs, during the last ten days, has been greater than in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Influenza has cut off many in advanced years, and it has also paved the way for the ravages of other dis orders.—lnverness Journal. In the winter of 1798-Q, the falls of snow and_their effects appear to have much the same as we have recently experienced. On that occasion coaches were snowed up, and unable to pursue their journeys in various parts of the kingdom. Dr. Carlyon, in his recent work, "*Early Years and late Reflectioilr," gives a graphic account of his adven tures, and those of his fellow-travellers in the Norwich mail upon that occasion.

AFFRAY WITH SAIOGGLERS ON THE RIVER.— On Sunday night last, about 10 o'clock, a custom-house officer, named James Cockburn, Was keeping watch on the deck of the Gira.le steamer, off the Tower, when he saw one of the seamen go forward, and put a large bag, eon tainm tobacco, over the bows of the ship. Cockburn fol lowed the man, who, on seeing him, went below. Cock burn thee seized the bag, which was slang over the- ship's side by a cord 12 feet in length, and there . was a water man well known to the river police; alongside in his 'wheiry, in waiting to receive it, if the officer had not been keeping a good look-out. Another custom-house officer, who was asleep in his berth, was aroused by Cockburn, who suz pacted that the crew were about to run a great quantity of contraband tobacco ashore. On going into the forecastle, the officers found another bag filled with tobacco, which they also seized. While Cockburn went ashore to com municate the circumstance to Mr. Swainson, a tide-sur veyor, his superior officer, the other officer, Tucker, whom he had left in charge of the smuggled tobacco, was attacked by several of the crew, who took away the tobacco. He struggled to regain possession of it, and he' called Motion and Turner, Customs tide-waiters, to his aid. A desperate light took place on deck, during which the revenue officers were severely beaten, but they at length succeeded in over powering the men of the Giraffe, three of whom, named Thomas Archer, William Lambert, and David Winter, were secured, and GOlbs. of tobacco; in illegal packages, were captured. The waterman, Larmer, who attempted to escape in the confusion, was taken into custody by the Thames police. Yesterday the prisoners were brought before the Magistrates, who ordered them to be detained until the Board of Customs shall decide upon what pro ceedings shall be taken against them. The Custom-house officers bore the marks of severe injuries they had received in the fray. On the night of Saturday last the servant of a re spectable shopkeeper in Buckie was alarmed by a loud knocking at the door of the dwelling-house of her master, a considerable time after the family had retired to rest. On inquiring into the cause of the noise, she was answered in a familiar way, as if the person 'outside had been a neighbour. Without hesitation she opened the door, and a female stepped in, and asked where her mistress was sleeping. The girl unhesitatingly led the way to the bed-room, think ing only the person wanted to speak to her mistress. The stranger, on entering the room, laid what seemed to be a parcel of clothes on the bed, and said, " Keep that till I call for it," and, without waiting for a reply, left the house. She was accompanied from the door by a male attendant, but both escaped without observation. The mistress of the house immediately called for a light, in order to have her curiosity gratified by examining the contents of the parcel left by her mysterious visitant ; and to her surprise she found it to contain a genteell):-dressed female infant, which has since been cared for as it ought. It is almost needless to add, that no one has yet " called" for the foundling, and that a great many foolish conjectures are afloat as to its parentage..,-.lnverness Journal. ' . 1461t13 SrowELL.---The varied life of Lord Stowell .enel4 - ,:be divided into three - epochs, each of them marked by chariseters of peculiar excellence, and fraught with tokens of distinction. The first eighteen years was spent in clas sical pUrsuits at Oxford, in training the intellect of the aris tocracy, in 'making philosophy teach by examples from the historian's chair. - During the next . fifteen• years we trace through all the literary circles of London the " Dr. Scott of the Commons," the friend of Reynolds, of Burke, and Malone, the favourite of the Turk's head Club, the oracle of the Consistory Court, delivering discourses on the regula tion of the domestic forum, which Addison would have loved for their elegance, and Johnson fin- their morality. In the next thirty years we behold him in the Admiralty chair, forming a system of national law from the ill-fashioned la bours of his predecessors, erecting a temple of jurisprudence, and laying its foundations, not on fleeting policy, or on oc casional interests, but in universal and immutable justice. His name has vanished ,from the Peerage : he has left no son to transmit his honours. He had outlived his genera tion, and the candidates for noisy notoriety had concealed the retiring veteran from the stage. He has sunk into the grave, not unwept, indeed, nor unhonoured, nor unsung, but with a less vivid expression of regret than if be had not ex ceeded the common span of human life. This is the natu ral penalty w hi c h , extreme old age must be content to pay, and it wo u ld b e idle to complain of it. But he has left a. name which the proudest transmitter of hereditary rank might envy. The name of Scott, the title of Lord Stowell, can never be forgotten.—Annual Biography, 1836. MONS MEG.—Monday being the anniversary of the ratification of the Treaty of the Union with England by the Scottish Parliament was very appropriately fixed upon for the elevation of that ". Great Murderer of War" Mons Meg upon her new carriage on the Duke of York's battery. This was done by Captain Garstin and a party of the Royal Artillery, under the direction of General Wright and Colonel Cobbe, who were both present, along with the officers of the Royal Engineers and Artillery ; Captain M'Kerlie, the Ordnance Storekeeper ; Sir P. Walker, Sir J. G. Dalyeil, and a number of others. Owing to the severity of the weather, and the prevalence of influenza, many other persons of civil and military rank were pre vented from attending. The weight of this cannon is six and a half tons, and of the carriage three and a half tons. Edinburgh Paper. TH prevent disappointment, orders should be given to all Newsinen instanter.

New trustees. had been ap pointed, and the petition prayed that the costs of the pro ceedings before the Master might be paid out Of the cha rity funds. Sir C. WETHERELL appeared for another and counter petition, which opposed the confirmation of the report both as to the appointment of trustees and the payment of the costs. The hospitals had no revenue, they were mere bare walls ; and if the trustees of the lands were named trustees of the hospitals, they might take it into their heads to direct the revenues intended for the repairs of Scarborough church and the proper performance of divine service to the re pair and support of the hoipitals. There were affidavits, stating that the trustees appointed by the Master were Dissenters from the Churoh of England ; and the peti tioners, who were the vicar and churchwardens of the church, complained, with good reason, that such persons were preferred to them as trustees of the funds devoted to the service of the church, and that they received no inti mation of the proceedings before the Master, until in No vember last they were served with notices of the order con firming the Master's report:- The petitioners prayed that the choice of the Master be not confirmed, and they prayed moreover that the costs be not paid out of 'the fund set apart for tie repairs of the church. It was therefore prayed that Me report be referred back to the Master. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, the report must now be referred back, to be reviewed with reference to that part which appointed Dissenters to receive funds devoted to• the service of the Church of England, and the Master must also state out of what funds he recommended the costs of the proceedings to be paid. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 25. THE KING V. JOHN GEORGE. Mr. CaomrToN stated that this was an appeal against a Tate, on the ground that the appellant had not been in cluded in it. The sum to which he claimed to be liable was very small, but still he contended that he was entitled to be put upon the rate. Lord DENMAN asked whether it was not a very novel complaint that the appellant was not charged with liability to the payment of a sum of money ? . _ - Mr. CitomrToN admitted that it was, but said that as there were advantages it; the possession of the franchise the appellant had a right to complain ifhe was deprived of these advantages. Mr. Justice cOLERIDGE—Then you must contend that not being rated is, - prima facie, a grievance. Mr. CaomrToN (IA so contend.—Rule for setting aside the rate discharged. BUSINESS OF THE COURT. Lord DENMAN gave notice that to-morrow (this day) the Court would proceed in the first instance with some business specially appointed, and would then take the new trial paper ; that on the four last days of Term the Court would take motions, but if upon any of those days there were not motions sufficient to occupy its attention, it would return to the peremptory paper. BAIL COURT. IN RE THE COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS AND THE INHABI TANTS OF MONMOUTH. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had, on a former day, ob tained a raje nisi for a certiorari to remove into the Court of King's Beach the presentment of the Grand Jury sum moned under the authority of the Commissioners of Sewers for Monmouthshire, with respect to the - repair of the breaches occasioned. by the encroachments of the sea at the mouth of the Severn.—Rule absolute. IN RE WILTON AND CHAMBERS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAi, made an application to the Court in a matter arising out of Chambers's bankruptcy.. The Learned Couniel stated, that Mr. Wilton having acted as attorney for Mr. Chambers in the attempts made by him to establish the invalidity of the commission of bank ruptcy against him, obtained from him, in an early stage of the proceedings, warrants of attorney to the amount of 11,000 t., 1,6001. for costs already incurred, and the remain der for costs which might thereafter be incurred. He after wards (in 1826, as we understood) received of Mr. Chain hers six bills of exchange for the sum of .5,8001., also for costs. Proceedings were in 1831 taken on one of the bills (1,0001.), and judgments had been entered upon the war rants of attorney. Mr. Wilton had been since these trans actions twice discharged under the Insolvent Act, the last occasion having been within a few weeks only of the present time. The claim of 16,000/. for costs still stood, however, against Mr. Chambers, and it was sought to enfotee it. The motion now made by the Learned Counsel was for the can colment of the warrants of attorney, and the delivery up of the bills of exchange. Rule to show cause granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. 25. THE SKINNERS' COMPANY V. JONES. This case came before the Court upon special argument. This was a claim urged by the Skinners' Company against the defendant, as the surety of a person of the name of 'Butler, for a debt of 2001. It was stated in the case that the Skinners' Company were the managers of a fund which had been raised for the purpose of assisting honest and industrious tradesmen in embarrassed circumstances with loans, at a low rate of interest ; that Mr. Butler had re ceived out of this fund the sum of 2001. that the present defendant became his surety ; and that subsequently Mr. Butler became a bankrupt. The question for the decision of the Court was, whether the debt under the surety-bond was proveable under the commission against the bankrupt. The Court were of opinion that, in point of law, the bond had been forfeited, and their judgment therefore must be for the defendant. SCOTT V. MILLER. Mr. Sergeant WYLDE moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had. This was an action for money had and received, which was tried before the Chief Justice at Guildhall, dur ing the sittings after last term. The plaintiff was the owner of the barque Countess DinCmorc, of which the defendant was captain on a voyage to .South America, during• which the cause of action arose. The defendant had pleaded a set off in the nature of primage upon the freight ; but a verdict was found for the plaintiff for 125/. At the trial the plaintiff proved the receipt of cer tain sums for freight ; and also tendered in evidence a bill of exchange for 137/., drawn by the captain on the plain tiff's agent, and payable at the house of the ship a s ents in South America. But he submitted to their Lordships now, as he had done at the trial, that this bill of exchange, drawn at a place where the vessel necessarily touched, and where it was proved that repairs had actually been done, and stores supplied, was nut prima facia evidence to charge the captain with money had and received. The next ground upon which he moved was that the captain was by the cus tom entitled to a primage of five per' cent. on the home cargo. _ _ CHIEFJUSTICE—Let the rule go upon both grounds. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JAN. 25. BELCIIER AND OTIIERS (ASSIGNEES) V. JONES. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, as assignees of the Messrs. Lee, who had become bankrupts, to recover from the defendant, the Secretary of the Phoenix Fire and Life Insurance Company, the sum of 8,0001. alleged to have been paid by way of fraudulent preference, or in con templation of approaching bankruptcy. The Jury, upon the trial, returned a verdict in favour of the defendant, to set aside which, and proceed to a new trial, a rule had been obtained, which was argued at great length a few days ago, when the judgment was postponed.—Rule discharged. COUNTY CO.URT, KINGSGATE-STREET, JAN. 23. A FULL-GROWN MIDSHIPMAN.--ROBINSON V. ADOL PHUS lIENRY FITZPATRICK.—The defendant in this case was a full-grown midshipman, and completely answered the description given by Sir Jonah Barrington of the sucking Irish Barrister Connaughty. He was about six feet two inches in length, and nearly three feet across the shoulders ; his hands and feet were splayed, and his body appeared slit up two-thirds of its length, as if nature had originally in tended to have made twins of him, but finding his brains would not answer for two, relinquished her design ; his complexion was fawn-coloured, and spotted by two curious looking red eyes, well intrenched in his head, and guarded by a thin chevaux defreisc of curly eye-brows ; his mouth, very similar to a John Dory's, extending very nearly from car to ear, and disclosed a goodly array of whitish tusks, the various height and distances whereof gave a whimsical variety to that feature, though his lank countenance was terminated by a chin which might upon a pinch have taken an interview with his stomach, still there was quite enough of him between the chin and the waistband to admit .space for a waistcoat without mu c h y . ing youth was a midshipman, was sue Bs. • 7 balance owing for his mess t o an d f ro m : . ;7\ Master Adolphus was mamma's pet bitil r ' . d. t said to be for " luxuries." -•1! •) COMMISSIONER—Pray, was this (44kozilf• Majesty's ships ? Siri k -; Trader ; as Mr. Fitzpatrick's mother Is his health, she bargained that he should ur for which the mess was to be paid 521. lbs.' ' q1;41 1 ' that had been paid amounted to but 511., and in considera tion of his enormous appetite, the remainder was sued for in justice to the mess. COMMISSIONER—Pray what luxuries do you allu le to ? Plaintiff--Oh, Sir, long before the ship had got out of soundizurs swallowed about ten jars of pickles. The steward eould'a keep a bit of cheese, and every loaf of lump sugar was eibijed ; and long before they doubled .. the Cape he'd svvalloleed every drop of sweet oil.—(Consi derable .laughter.) The' fact was, he knawed.:his way throUgh every thing, and was the terror of the whole ship's company., • • COMMISSIONER—Did he ever go aloft? Plaintiff—No, Sir, he could always reach what he wanted, and the Cap tain Was loth to strain the standing rigging any more than •he could help.—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—Upon my word, he teas any thing but a profitable hand. Whar do you say to this, my little boy ? —(Laughter.) Defendant (with the utmost expression of boohyism)— Sir, my ma'a says she ivon't pay a farthing more, that she won't. I never got enough to cat ; and as to luxuries, I can 'sure you, on my honour, I had neither pies, tarts, nor puddings, all the while I was at sea—and I certainly don't mean to go again.—(The Court was convulsed with laughter.) • The Jury ultimately decided that Master Adolphus Fitz patrick's mamma must pay the 'amount sued for; with ss. 6d. costs ; and the little sailor-boy quitted the Court in high dudgeon. horse doctor, named Johnstone, summoned a horse keeper for payment for medicalattendance on a mare which had been_dangerously ill, and which, by the judicious exhi bition of drenches, balls„ and bleeding, had become per fectly convalescent. COMMISSIONER—Pray what was the matter with the horse ? Plaintiff—lt had the influenza, Sir.—(Laughter.) Defendant—Now that's a reeler good un. Now were d'ye think ; my oss could get rich a complaint? Vy you might as well say as how it had the scarlet fever. Plaintiff The horse was very ill, and you know very well I saved its life. Defendant—l don't know no such a thing, and I shan't pay you nothink. COMMISSIONER—YeS, but you will ; pay it in a month, Sir. Defendant—l'll see you -- first. I'll go to prison first. CommlssioNEß—Oh, very well ; then we'll bring the matter to an issue at once. Pay it directly; Sir, or an exe cution shall be issued immediately.—{Laughter.) Not relishing the idea of going to prison so speedily, the defendant paid the amount forthwith. CONSERVATIVE PRI NCIPLES.—A sturdy little Radical, belonging to the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, the pro prietor of a beer-shop, was summoned by a tailor, named Scott, for 12s:, for work and labour done, converting an old coat into a new jacket for the boy, And, a new waistcoat for the father. The case assumed a thoroughly politiqal aspect. _ COMMISSIONER (t 0 defendant)—Do you dispute the debt? Defendant—l should think so. I only 'greed for 10s., and this 'ear tailor charges 12s. Plaintiff—Look at the cut. I've made the waistcoat on Conservative principles.—(Laughter.) Cbm MlSSlONER—Conservative principles—how's that Plaintiff—Why, Sir, I means respectable! Defendant—And I didn't want none of it. I'm known werry well, and you hort to have made my wcstkitt like this 'ear. I don't want to be respectable.—( Laughter.) I gits my living by 'ard vork ! The tailor assured the Court that he had translated a very old and greasy coat into a most excellent waistcoat and jacket ; and if the garments were too respectable, he was perfectly willing to alter them, and make them look as much like the Radical principle as possible.—(Laughter.) The Jury ordered the sum to be paid immediately. SNEEZINq.—The prevailing epidemic sadly interrupte d the business of the Court on Monday. During the whol of the day nothing was heard but a continued sneezing and pale faces and pocket handkerchiefs were the order the day. Upwards of forty cases were adjourned through the illness of plaintiffs and defendants ; and many of those ‘vho came to the Court in good health, quitted it with' the foundation of severe colds. A few sacks of sawdust strewed over the Court would have prevented much of the illness that must necessarily arise from standing so many hours with wet feet. The numbers of poor drooping wonica and children formed a truly pitiable scene. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. QUEEN-SQUARE. John Bush, a private in the Grenadier Guards, was yes terday charged with a brutal assault on his sister-in-law. The complainant, whose hand was bound up, and whose face and person exhibited marks of the injuries she had tained, was accommodated with a chair. She was a middle aged woman and appeared enceinte. Mr. Gr.EnoarE inflicted the full fine of 51., or two months hard labour in default of its payment. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday Richard Buquet, driver of Warburton's (the new Company's) Paddington omnibus, No. 158, was charged before Messrs. RAWLINSON and HOSKINS, upon a summons obtained against him by inspector Bell of the B division of police, for having furiously driven along Oxford-Street, and thereby damaged the phaeton. of Mr. M`Nab,.surgeon, St. Martin's-lane, who, with a friend, narrowly escaped being killed. • Mr. RAWLINSON, after observing that omnibus racing had increased to a frightful extent, and desiring the inspec tors to keep a sharp lookout for offonders, fined the defen , dant 405., in addition to 71. ISs. the amount of damage. MURDER in RATCLIFFE-HIGHWAY. Yesterday John Pegsworth, who stabbed Mr. John Hal liday Ready, a tailor and draper, in Ratcliffe-highway, on the evening of Tuesday, the 10th inst., after he had been summoned for a trifling debt to the Tower Hamlets Court of Requests, was brought before . Mr. BALLANTINE, the sitting Magistrate at the Thames Police-office, for final examination on the charge of murder. At eleven o'clock the prisoner was put to the bar. His demeanor, was very different from that displayed on the last examination, the day after the murder. He then exhibited the most cool indifference, and appeared to think that he had only exercised a just revenge. Yesterday he appeared very penitent, and frequently shed tears. He evinced by his conduct that he was fully sensible of his awful situation, and that he had committed a most dreadful murder, owing to his having given way to the effects of sudden anger. The depositions (which fully proved the facts as they have been already before the public) having been read over, Mr. BALLANTINE asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything ?—The Prisoner—No, Sir ; I have nothing to say. Mr. BALLANTINE then said it was his duty to commit the prisoner for trial for the wilful murder of Mr. Ready, and he hoped he would make as good use of his time in New , !ate as he hail done in Clerkcnwell, and prepare him self fora file which most probably awaited him. The prisoner, who covered his fact with his hands, and trembled excessively while the wonhy Magistrate was• ad-' dressing Lim, at the conclusion of Mr. 11.faLANTINE's re marks endea6nred to regain his composure, and after Ile had wiped away a tear took a paper . from his pocket, and said, " Will your Worship allow"—he here paused—" will you, Sir, allow this to be read?" Mr. BALLANTINE—If you wish it I can't refuse it-; but what you do put in will be evidence. p:isoncr—Thank you, Sir; I know it. I am pre pared, Sir, for the worst, and am sorry for the crime I have committed. I mean to plead guilty before a jury of my country. If you will allow it to be read, I—the un happy man here appeared to be quite overpowered with hii feelings. Mr. BALLANTINE—CertainIy, it shall be read. The paper was then handed to Mr. Symons, the chic' clerk, who asked the prisoner if the haudwritiog was his? Prisoner—Yes, Sir, it is. Mr. Symons then read the document, during which the prisoner often cried, and.leant his face on the bar. When his wife was mentioned his anguish was excessive. The statement was as follows : I wish to address a few ,words if your Worship will permit me, and have committed them to paper, as my memory is very absent through the state of excitement I have been in. It has been rumoured thnt this dreadful occurrence was committed through jealousy. I now de clare most solemnly that•nothing of the kind induced me to commit the dreadful act, nor had I any idea of it. I state this in justicn to my wife's character, whose conduct is,beyond reproach, and in justice to the memory of the unfortunate deceased, whom I hurried into eternity. At the same time it has been stated that I was perfectly cool mild collected and sober at the time. I declare to God, at ,chose bar I must. shortly appear, that . I was not sober, and can say, to the best of my recollection, that I did not think of the horrid act at all until about twenty minutes before it was perpetrated. Mrs. Cadman, who sold the knife, made a mistake in stating that it was about 4 o'clock. I ilia not leave the St. Katharine Dock until half-past four. I then went straight to my house, and I believe I had some tea ; but I don't exactly remember whether I had or not. I certainly meant to call on the de , • 4 - _ . • .4 - -z, ic!... -. .1.
