ANTI-SLAVERY lEAGUE. A public meeting of the friends of this association was beke n Monday evening at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand. George Thompson, Esq , was called to the chair, sh e d v. was r supported by J. Houghton, Esq., W. limey?, E sq., Douglaslt D r . Thompson,(the Thompson, Henry Vincent, Mr. Frederick a es , R . fugitive slave), Henry Colman, Esq. (Uited St t ) R Smith, Esq., &c. The CHeitsueer said it was his duty to tha nk _ them, in the first place, for the hononr they had conferred upon him, and lto state that he should be as brief as would be sufficient to state the circumstances some time ago itibo. A few words which led to the present meeting. At a meeting was unanimously agreed to invite Mr. Garrison over to this country, which was accepted by that gentleman. A few friends met him on his arrival in this room, where a meeting took place last Monday, at which i t thoie in the bondage agreed to form an anti-slavery league, to symp of slavery, and to unite with ath th abolitionists who were en deavouring to do away with s lavery. e every. He would take leave to read the preamble upon which this league was formed. It was as follows : " Whereas there are, in the United States of America, three millions of the human race held in c h a i ns an d slaver y by a power which sacrilegiously usurps th e p ropr i e t ar y righ t of the Creator; whereas these three millions of slaves in their utter helplessness and degradati o n, ma k e th e i r appea l to the friends of humanity throughout the world; and whereas the cause of humanity is not bounded by cocountryeo phi or clime, limita- e, nor moral obligations and duties circumscribed by Lions or governmental restrictitnis himself without witness, ; and whereas the God of the oppressed, who hath neverleft hath raised up for the slave population of the United States friends who are nobly and faithfully struggling to obtain liberty for the captive by the prosecution of moral and peace ful measures ; " Therefore we, the undersigned, desirous of showing our 'remembrance of those in bonds, as bound with them,' and believing that we can essentially serve the cause of those in bondage by actin. - with the uncompromising abolitionists who compose the ' ' American Anti-Slavery Society,' do form ourselves into an association, to be called the' Anti-Slavery League,' based upon the following principles:— ' " Art. 1. That slave-holding is, under all circumstances, a sin of the deepest dye, and ought to be immediately aban doned. " Art. 2. That the members of this League shall consist of all persons subscribing to the foregeing principles, without re speot of country, complexion, religious or political creeds. "Art. 3. That the sole of of this Le. o ote shall be the overthrow, by means exclusively moral and peaceful, of slavery in every land, but with special reference to the system now existing in the United States." It was resolved to adopt the practice of another League, which Awl been successful—to circulate this preamble, and to enrol members, who would be furnished with cards at a shilling a head.—(Ch e ers.) They would be addressed by Mr. Garri son, who was the head of the society fir the abolition of slavery in the United States. This gentleman had been one of the earliest and most uncompromising advocates of the cause he had espoused. He had published a newspaper in the United States, in which he warmly advocated the rights of the slave to perfect freedom; and he had even surf, red itn preemmem •- for the fearless asser ti on o f his principles.— . (Hear.) (Mr. Thompson here read an extract from a news paper published Hy Mr. Garrison, asserting his principles.) Since that period no change had taken place in those principles in the mind of Mr. Garrison. They would be addressed also by the other gentlemen connected with this cause, amongst the rest by Mr. Douglas, who had himself been a slave, but who not only emancipated himself from the horrors of• slavery, but also from the darkness and degradation that invariably attend the accursed system of silvery—(Hear, bear.) He was near omitting to mention one circumstance, namely, a meeting that was held at Boston by the black population, expressing their approval of Mr. Garrison's in tention of visiting Scotland, their gratitude for his past ser vices, and confidence in his future conduct. Mr. J. Houcinrorr, of Dublin, proposed the first resolu tion, to the effect that they should extend the hand of friendship to Mr. Garrison, to Frederick Douglas, and Mr. H. Wright. He said the ladies could do much towards assisting the object cf the meeting by donations towards the bazaars which were to be held in support of the same. He would not trouble them with any further observations, but though he might not be of much importance there, he lied endeavoured to render them some assistance , and which h e wou ld cont i nue to do in his own locality. He would conclude by proposing the resolution.--( Hear, hear.) Mr. W. 14) v Err seconded the resolution. The Rev. Mr. HOUGHTON said, he was not prepared to give his assent to the resolution then proposed, however he sympathised with the slaves. He did not wish it to be un derstood that he would oppose the resolution, but merely that it should be recorded that the resolution did not pass unanimously, but nemine contrelicente. The resolution was put and carried amid loud cheers, there being but five dissentients. Mr. Haerity WRIGHT said there were three millions of slaves in the United States, who, to all intents and purposes, were personal chattels. That was the principle of American slavery, and no matter who was a slaveholder, he pro nouncetl hint to be a villain , —(Cheers.) They should under stand that by this system a slave was prevented from enter ing into marriage or any civil contract, he was not permitted to learn the alphabet, and whatever injury he might sustain, as he could not be heard in a court of justice, he could ob tain no redress unless his case were taken up by a white man.—(Groans.) Sotwithetanding this, what had oc curred ? In th e year 1794, in the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America, of which Dr. Cox was the moderator, it was adopted as a portion of their discipline, that every man who was in any way concerned in bringing one of the human race into slavery, or retaining him in it, or who kept slaves, or who possessed slaves, was guilty of the worst crimes, and one of the basest sinners.—( Hear, hear.) Now, it would he naturally supposed that that assembly wool I not admit such persons into their church ; but they did. The entire General Assembly became at last so full of these men, "guilty of the highest crimes, the basest of sinners," that in 1816 they came to the determination of blotting out this testimony from their records, and in 1818 they put upon record that which was not against slaveholders, but against the system. Now here was miserable sophistry. Why there was not one of the slaveholders who would not denounce slavery. It was easy to transfer your horror from the stripes on the back of the slaves to slavery in, the abstract. The negro was separated from the rest of the congregation in the churches and chapels, and the place allotted to them was called opprobiously the "Jim Crow pew." The speaker here read a letter from a Pre , hytesiaa clergyman on this sulsj .et in confirmation or his assertion. This was the practice of the Episcopalian Church, as well as the Presbyterian Church. That was the case in every church except the Rumen Catholic, where there was no " negro pew."—(Cheers.) The speaker here read several other published letters, extracts from newspapers, &c., to the same effect, and to show that the black slave was treated with, not only perfect inditier ence, but with the • .reatcst barbarity, and this, too, by some of the professors of religion , —(Graans.) He trusted th the time would co me w h en the slaveholder would &ad this country too hot for him. —( Loud cheers.) Before con cluding, he would state that the interests of this country were intimately bound up in the cause of American slavery. —(Hear, hear.) He would now read the resolution, which was to the effect " That they regarded with feelings of pro found sorrow and humiliation the state of the American churches in relation to the question of slavery, and would earn .stly implore the various religious denominations todis charge in all Christian fidelity the duty of admonishing those professed Christians in America who practice it in anywise— plead for the extinction of the feul abomination in their midst—who reduce the image of God to the condition of a chattel and a brute, and condemn to ignorance and perpetual bondage those for whom Christ died."— (Cheers. ) Mr. Gattausost seconded the resolution in a very eloquent address, in which he enforced the arguments of the preceding speakers, and gave a vivid picture of the horrors of slavery. He contended that America could not be called a Christian country, but might be well designated a bloodhound country. ' Bloodhounds were very useful in that country, as would be shown from the letters he weuld take the liberty of reading to the meeting.—(The speaker then read those letters, which fully bore out Ills statement, aid also read an advertisement, anncuncing that some cele brated negro-hounds, bloodhounds ':;ere ready for sale.) What a horrible thing was this, flood -hounds following those made in the image of Go s ' s , who were guilty of no crime but merely endeavoured obtain freet:om, the boon they had derived from Him es their birth-right. The poor slaves found Garr a shelter evesf among th e savages of the wiLlerness.— (r.Garrison eead several other extracts of a similar nature, and coiitanu,n) He was awry to find that, notwithstanding all thee , there were some apologists for the slaveowners in tals country. Its never had degraded himself crime as to for argue wa s w hether slavery was orwas not a some, it not a debatable q.u.—Hear, hear. 15,060 of those who bad been slaves estion had ( taken refuge) in that asylum where the British Sag of freedom floated— Canada.—(Cheers.) Ile stood there as the representative of the society for the abolition of slavery in America. That in stitution had not swerved fr on its principles, but they had to encounter difficulties which they did not expect. They had to contend against a church which countenanced that slavery, and many, rather than relinquish their pro slavery church, sacrificed their principles, and left the ranks of the society. These, too, hid become the most venomous of th , , , ir opponents, and hurled against them the vilest calumnies. These he, on the part ~f th e soc i ety, d enied, for, t h ough individual members of their institution might en tertain certain views on religion, or on politics, their official documents contained nothing of that nature. They c. - gt..iinly said that . they would nut support a pro slavery church, for they contended that it was not, could not be a church of Christ.—( Hear, hear.) The present position of the society was a vital one, for they had come to the lest point, namely—in contact with Government in the United States. Now they could not agree in the constitution that still retained a particle of slavery. In this point they were revolutionists, end would endeavour to effect their object by littoral means. lie trusted that they would not send any more delegations over to America, for there was too much of divinity and too little of common humanity amongst them. They had all, whether Qaaker, Methodist, or Presbyterian bowed their knees at the aTtar of Baal.—(Hear, hear.) If preserved front their English friends of this description, they would protect themselves from their southern enemies.—(llear, hear, and laughter.) fie contended that they were all bound, as a matter of self-interest, to do away with slavery, for even their fellow-subjects were liable to underge the horrors of slavery. He call rd on the people of this country to denoted of their Government to compel the Government of the Unne 1 Sates to do away with this foul blot on hutnani ,s-.—( L .ttd . beers.) The CeatintieN I ben put the resolution, which was carried by a large tiosj Tity. Mr. F. tiouutas then addressed the meeting, and con tended that toe members of the Evangelical Alliance were the gre +test epronente of the anti-slavery movement. He denied alt he statements made by members of that body at the late tempernece convention, and deprecated, in strong terms, the conduct of the ministers of the Free Church of Scotland in America towards the coloured populatien, which he described as being of a most anti-Christian nature, and concluded a most humorous and eloquent address by proposing a resolution in conformity with his observations. The re-solution was seconded and carried. Mr. Coereen, from New York, here made a few observa tions, in which he dissented from the views of the meeting, arid denied the right of the people of this country to interfere with the social institutions of the United States, eeoaded, and following resolution was then proposed, carried :—" That the existence of slavery in the U n it e d S tates has strengthened the cause of despotism throughout the world; and that this meeting earnestly , appeals to the p eople of America to be faithful to their ov. dec laration of r ights, and to decree uaoti this horrible sin, that despots ma y longer , no TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE [The following article is substituted for that which appeared in the Gazette ..f Friday, the 7th of August inst.] ST.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT AND DARING ATTEMPT AT RODSERY.—At one o'clock on Saturday morning, two men, apparently labourers, called at Mr. Finan's, proprietor of the White Bear, Ratelifi-highway, and had a pint of half and-half, for which they tendered a sovereign in payment. The landlord, not having sufficient change, brought down a money bag, containing about 15!. in gold and silver. In a few minutes after, two men, in the garb of sailors, who, beyond doubt, were in league with the others, entered the house, and, taking possession of the bar parlour, called for some beer. Mr. Fin an t o ld th em t h at he did not allow strangers to occupy his private apartment, but they per sisted in remaining, and he was obliged to use force in putting them out. They resisted, and one of them knocked the landlord down by a heavy blow, whilst the other gave him a severe kick on the face, which rendered him insen sible for a considerable time. As Mr. Finan supposed, the thieves must have been disturbed by some persons pa ,i ng br, for they decamped without their booty; and though very severely injured, Mr. Finan, on regaining his senses, w as glad to find that his money bag remained untouched. THE MOORS.—TiIe morning of the twelfth dawn e d a , auspiciously for the sportsman as could be desired. So far as the accounts have reached us, the sport will be about an average on the principal Highland moors; but of course we are unabls to give the first day's work. The mail, which passed Blair at mid-day, and the Duke of Wellington which came down four hours after, both brought a number of boxe.4, the produce of the morning's work, some of which were ad. dressed to the leading members of the nobility now in Lou don.—Perth Omrier.

Wootwrcx, Auo. 17.—The following circulars have just been issued for the guidance of officers of the Royal Navy : " MEMORANDUM "Admiralty, July 21, 1846. " Instances having been brought to the notice of my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty in which salt meat issued to the crews of her Majesty's ship., in warm climates, has from its inferiority or other causes, lost more than half its weight by boiling, it is their Lordships' direction, that when the salt meat supplied to any of her Majesty's ships shall prove to have lost more than half its weight in boiling, the captain or commander of such ship shall, on satisfying himself of the correctness of the fact, authorise the paymaster and purser to issue to the ship's company an additional portion of raw salt meat, equal to half the original allowance. " By command of their Lordships, "IL G. WARD. " To all Captains a n d C omman d ers, P aymasters, and Pursers of her Majesty's ships and vessels." " Admiralty, Aug. 7, 1846 " MEMORANDUM. " With a view to encourage boys to continue in her Ma. jesty's service, my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty are pleased to direct that when any of her Majesty's vessels shall have entered and completed the full complement as signed to her, and shall have been mustered and inspected before sailing, the captain or commander of such ship shall not make any fresh entry of men, but shall fill up all vacan cies that may recur in his ship's company by bringing for ward the most meritorious and serviceable first-class boys to the ratings of men, and promoting second-class boys to the first class, if eligible.

The following is the finding of the court-martial on Major Deane, which lately sat at the Royal Barracks, to hear a list of 18 charges preferred against that officer by Mr. John M'Court, late of the Royals, who was himself dismissed the service en charges preferred against him by the Gallant Major. The charges of which Major Deane has been pro nounced guilty are trivial, while all the rest are, in the opinion of the Court, " most vexatious, harassing, and vin dictive :''— (corr.) "' The Court is of opinion that he is guilty of the first additional charge. The Court is of opinion that he is guilty of the second additional charge. "'The Court-martial adjudges, that the prisoner, Major Charles Deane, K.H., of the Ist battalion of the Ist, or Royal Regiment, be reprimanded, at such time and in such manner as his Grace the Commander-in-Chief may direct. " The Court begs respectfully to state, that in passing this sentence, intended to be the mildest in its power to ad judge, it did not take into consideration the third and first and second additional charges, inasmuch as these charges had been previously inquired into, and disposed of by competent authority. " Tbe Court cannot separate without expressing its de cided opinion, that during the entire investigation of an accu mulation of charges, most vexatious, harassing, and vindic tive, not a particle of evidence has been elicited reflecting in the slightest degree upon the honour and purity of Major Deaee's motives, and that the honourable testimonials, both oral and written, brought forward by Major Deane, as to his zealous, active, and gallant services, as an officer, and to his high bearing as a gentleman, have not in the slight. est degree been impai re d or affected by the result of these proceedings.' " I have his Grace the Commander-in-Chief's directions to acquaint you that her Majesty was pleased to approve and contii in the finding and sentence of the Court. " J. MACDONALD, Adjutant. General" Major Deane has resumed the command of the Royal depot in the Pigeon-house Fort. POISONOUS BERRIES. Several persons have been recently taken to the public hospitals of the metropolis, labouring under poison, from eating a species of wild berry, hawked about the streets, and called " Bilbury herts." We regret to state that a man named Parker die d in the Loudon Hospital on 'Monday morn ing, about eighteen hours after he had partaken of a pie made up of bilberries and sweetened with sugar. Parker's wife and child, who partook of the flame pie, are lying in the same hospital. The woman has suffered greatly, but some hopes are entertained of her recovery. The child is in a dangerous state, and on Monday evening it was stated that it wis not likely to survive many hours. The deceased, Parker, who was about forty years of age, and a man of strong constitution, kept the Veteran beer-shop, at N 0.247, Whitechapet-road. The berries were purchased of a man in the Whit echapel-road on Friday evening. Another sufferer named Mary Cox, of No. 4, eellingwood-street, Bethnal green, after eating similar berries purchased in the street, was attacked in the same manner as Parker and his wife. Her agonies for several hours were dreadful, and she is not yet out of danger. Another person is in the same hospital, suf fering from the same cause, who is going on favourably. From inquiries made by the K division of police, it appears that numerous individuals besides those in the hospital have been attacked with severe illness after eating blackberries and other berries, the size of a small sloe, which are of a poison ous nature, and that three men dressed in smock-Crocks, and having the appearance of countrymen, have been selling heath brooms, blackberries, and a smaller species of wild berry, in the Wllitechapel-road. Mr. Bloomfield, a surgeon, residing at No. 125, High-street, Wapping, was called upon to attend a family on Saturday afternoon, who were violently affected by eating berries purchased of one of the men in the Whitechapel-road. He administered antidotes immediately, asd fortunately they have all recovered. Mr. Bloomfield states that dangerous results would have followed it he had not been called upon very early after the pstieets swallowed the berries. An inquest will be held on the body of Parker, and Mr. Bakst-, Jun., the Deputy Con ater, has ordered a post mortem examination of the body, and has also directed the remains of the pie to be analysed. Similar cases of poisoning have been admitted into the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's Inn-road. A letter, of which the following is a copy, was forwarded to the superintendents of police, on Saturday morning, by Mr. Cook, house surgeon. It was to the following effect:— " Royal Free Hospital, Gray's Inn-road. Aug. 15. " Sir,--I think it proper to give you immediate notice that a boy named Thomas Dilley, post boy, has been brought here this evening, suffering from the tffects of some vege table poison. His father states that his son and another post boy, and a horsekeeper, all partook of some berries which they bought of a man on Blackfriars'-bridge. It is reason able to suppose, if this man has bee n ven di ng t h ese b err i es fruit,as a that theset are not the only sufferers. "I am, Sir, your o'iedient servant, "H W. COOK, House Surgeon." ST. ALBANS' ELECTION. Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell bas been returned for St. Albans, Lord Listowel, of the household, defeated. What, however, could his Lordship expect azainst the shrinking philanthropist, who speaks of his friendship fur the poor with that peculiar modesty that makes known the manifold virtue cf Holloway's Ointment •? Mr. Cabbell, we doubt not, may possess loyalty—devo tion to the Church—and friendship for the poor ; but these surpassing virtues do not, somehow, affect us as they ought to do, when shouted f rom t h e h ust i ngs i n the c , eifident tone f a sleight-of-hand man or fire-eater. A large heart should not, we• think, be advertised a.; showmen advertise a monster hog. Mr. Cabbell, how ever, may think differently. his recent succeis may induce him to think so ; and thus, improving on our hint of the showman, he may—as that festal tradesman paints his hog outside his booth—on a future occasion have his philanthropic heart, in all its magnitude, limned for the curiosity of the elector. " The Heart of the Poor Man's Friend " would be a taking title ; and, of course, the philanthropist would not copy the com mon exaggeration of showmen, by causing the thing represented to be drawn at least double the size of the t.riginal. When Mr. Cabbell last canvassed Marylebone, a list of hie donations to the poor was sent to every elector. This, no doubt, was without the consent of the worthy candi.late ; it was, in fact, the work of some enemy. Will any of our St. Albans' friends inform us whether the same plotter was at work in their ancient, unbought borough ? However, Mr. Cabbell is now an English senator ; and, judging from his hustings' speeches, he promises to add to the harmless amusement of the House of Commons.—Douglas Jerrold's Weekly Newspaper.

RELimona CAMP MEETING.—On Sunday, one.of these religious gatherings of the sect of Primitive Methodists, which are so common, and attended with so much enthu siasm in America, took place in the centre of Blackheath. The services commenced at nine o'clock in the morning, and notwithstanding occasional showers of rain, continued with out intermission until five. The preachers were located in a van, and the audience, consisting of about 300, who were evidently members of the connexion, together with a large concourse of persons, whom the novelty of the scene brought together, were accommodated with forms. After occasional short addresses from their elevated position, the preachers walked in procession, followed by the audience, to a short distance, where they knelt down in a circle. The elder then commenced with a prayer in the centre, and was followed extemporaneously and promiscuously by many of the audience, interrupted, however, frequently by the loudest ejaculations of the wildest enthusiasm. The religious cere mollies were interspersed with a variety of singing, in which the psalmody was popularised to some of our most modern song tunes, the " H un t sman ' s c h orus, " and " Buy a.broom, " being prominent. With all their exuberance of feeling the proceedings were conducted with great decorum. AMERICAN PRODUCE.—The following supplies COM• prise the principal portion of the most noticeable arrivals which have taken place from the United States of Ateelica stud Canada during the past week.

John's, New Brunswick, and other ports of North America, laden entirely with wood goods of American produce. THE SCOTT MONUMENT. (From the Edinburgh Adthrtiser of Tuesday.) We find, in a handsome little pocket volume, just pub lished by Mr. W. H. Lizars, for the benefit of strangers, under the title of the " Edinburgh Tourist and Itine rary," the following description of the Scott Monument, which will not be inappropriate at the present time, when public attention is so much engrossed with the approaching ceremony of the inauguration on Saturday next. On that occasion the colossal statue of Sir Walter, which is to be removed to-day from Mr. Steell's studio, preparatory to its being seated under the groined arch in the lower portion of the building, will be installed in its proper place with a profusion of masonic and civic honours, and amidst a greater concourse of people, we may safely predict, than has ever assembled in Edin burgh since the year or the Queen's v sit. This monument is -,n elegant and picturesque gothic structure. hi the shape of an op en cross or sp i re, 190 feet in height, and having a stair up to a gallery sur rounding the spire, within a few feet of the top, com manding a splendid view of all the adjacent country, and a complete bird's•eye inspection of the whole town. When the block from which the figure of Sir Walter Swat is sculptured arrived in Leith, great difficulty was experienced in finding apparatus sufficiently powerful to lift it out of the vessel ; and no slight danger, in addi tion to enormous labour, was incurred in effecting its landing. After being set upon a four-wheeled truck, it was got to Edinburgh without accident, in a sort of triumphal procession ; the transit being effected from Junction-bridge, Leith, to Mr. Steele's studio in Ran dolph-place, by the strenuous and admirably directed exertions of not fewer than twenty powerful horses, in forty-three minutes although it had taken four days to bring it from the ship a hold through the yard at which it was landed to the road, a distance not exceeding two hundred yards. Its weight was variously est , mated at from thirty to thirty-three tons. It may not be unin teresting to state, that while th e p on d erous mass was in the act of being shipped at Leghorn, the shears, by which it had b en raised to be swung on board, from the car conveying it from the mountains, suddenly gave way, and the future stalle was precipitated right through the bottom of the vessel into the sea; and it was nearly subjected to a similar accident while being lifted on shore at Leith. While on the subject of the sculpture, it is proper to mention, that the figures occupying the four niches immediately over the principal arch, were designed and executed by three Edinburgh artists, whose admiration of Scott, and approbation of the ge n9ral design, induced them spontaneously to undertake their execution, at a rate which can hardly be considered other than gratuitous. The figure on the north, representing Prince Charles Edward," and that of " Meg Merrdees," looking eastwards, being the work of Mr. Alexander H. Ritchie; the " Last Minstrel," filling • the western niche, was contributed by Mr. James Ritchie; and the " Lady of the Lake," on the south, by Mr. Patrick Slater. 'rile gothic structure was designed by Mr. George Stickle Kemp, a gentleman whose history is not a little singular. Brought up as an obscure cowry carpenter, he, in early life, imbibed an enthu- siastie admiration for gothic architecture, induced, ac cording to his own account, by an accidental visit, while a mere child, to Roslin Chapel. In the study of that branch of art, when arrived at manhood, he travelled on foot, without friends, and unassisted, save by his own indefatigable industry as a mechanic, and his enthusiasm as an amateur, over the whole of Great Britain, and a vary considerable portion of continental Europe. Returning to his native country, he devoted his energies to an investigation of the principles and cap abilities of gothic architecture ; and en a competi tion of designs for a monument to Sir Walter Scott being advertised, he entered the lists, and, after much opposition, some of which was of the most ungenerous description, he was at length declared the victor, and his design ordered to be proceeded with. When the structure was about half built, the unfortunate architect lost his life by an accident. In the course of a dark night, on his way home, he missed his footing, and fell into the Union Canal, where he was drowned. THE BLIND FIDDLER. The itinerant musician may be considered as the le gitimate successor of the old Scottish minstrel of tuneful memory, who perambulated the country to the infinite delight of the people. Although the fiddler of the later days was more accustomed to frequent the houses of the farmers and the peasantry than the lordly halls where the harps of his ancestors were strung, it was more in consequence of the progress of modern customs, which had begun among the higher masses of society, than from any falling away in the profession. On the contrary the blind fiddler was a person in considerable note in the circle which he periodically visited. So regularly were those visits paid that the rural population could calculate the precise time of his coming, and prepare for the same. If those visits were in winter the blind fiddler was al ways sure of a warm nook at the fire-side, as well as a numerous and liberal auditory—if in summer, the village green was soon enlivened with busy feet by the notei of the Orpheus ; while, between the dances, his budget of jokes and wonders, the fruits of his wide wanderings and. the varied society in which he mingled, was op,ned to the delight and astonishment of gaping rustics. If he held them not, like the ancient mariner, with his glitter tag eye, he did so with his eloquent tongue. Nature, who, when she deprives an individual of the use of one faculty, generally makes up for the loss by giving with tion..l force to another, made this worthy a walking news') iPer—a periodical of mirth, news, and music. Every house and family, for miles round, was as familiar to him as the tunes he played, and hence the aptitude of the well-known saying, applied to one well versed in local chronology, that he must have led a blind fiddler. Unenviable, indeed, must have been the post of leader, stihj-eted to the never ceasing volubility of one who lived both in noise and by it, and with no opportunity of ret liation but what the trick of a false jump might afford. The blind fiddler was the spirit of all merry meetings and penny weddings throughout the country. At all such festivals you were as sure to find him seated on a barrel-end as you are to find the Martell() Tower in the Frith. With what swiftness his fiddle bow was plied —a very spirit was in his elbow and fingers—he seemed to play against time; a perfect sand-bag, too, was this .dd worthy, 1i -dons which were sufficient to make a stronger man stagger were drops in a bucket to him; the tankard came as readily to his lips between the dances as the rosin to his bow, and, in both cases, it improved the tone. We have scarcely a solitary specimen left of the original blind fiddler. Only one we yet hold delight ful intercourse with, and he seems to be, like a " bro therless hermit, the last of his race." That rare gift of lime and tune for which he was distinguished is worn out, and, although the ancient power of music sometimes makes his lip quiver with emotion, when, with a plaintive grace, he plays " Auld Robin Gray," yet, not unfre quently, he will mix up the cadences of " Satan among the Tailors" with a favourite quadrille. Polkas and Mazurkas are wholly unknown t o hi m , an d h e wou ld scorn the idea of prostituting his fiddle to the work of playing an overture or a modern gallopade,—that fiddle which has given life to " bab at the bowster," may never thrill forth the compositions of a Julien. The fiddlers now-a-days, are no more like those of old than an egg is like an oyster. They want the peculiar twist of the mouth, the merry bob of the hew', and stamp of he foot. No grease brightens their p , cket lids, no snufF heerims their visages, they are odiously clean—dc generate sons of mighty Orpheusl—Frosn " Old Scottish Gitaracters" in the Leith Herald. BROWN'S HOSPITAL, OR THE BEDE HOUSE, STAN froita.—The estates of this charity, comprising 1,805 acres of land and 116 houses, yielded, according to the report of the Charity Commissioners in 1836, a yearly revenue of about 1,2451., viz., the reserved rents (numbering 60), 5871. 10s. Bd. ; the " fines," which amount to two-thirds of the rental, 3941. 12s. Id.; sale of wood and bark, 1161.; and dividends on stock in Consols, 147/ This income, the average of the seven years preceding 1836, may be reckoned as being what is at the present time realised; but investigation has proved that, by a more equitable mode of rental as much as 3,0001. may be realized annually for the benevolent objects of the charity. A year ago the matter was entered into by a young man re sident in Stamford, who has sine 3 had communication with the Bishop of Lincoln, and had his Lordship's cordial concur rence in the desire for an extension of 1102 e " charity" to the ample extent which the estates may be made to ensure. The Bishop, with the consent of the Archbishop of Canterbury, has the power to alter the statutes relating to the hospital; and from a conversation the other day which his Lordship had with the applicant (Mr. G. Burton), it seems that the ne cessary steps for running out the present leases, and effecting a better arrangement of rental, will forthwith be adopted by the authorities of the hospital, certain powers being sought from the Court of Chancery. The proposals submitted to the Bishop were, the ads ptiug of a more just mode of determin ing the rents, the discontinuance of the "fines," and the addition to the charity of as many out-pensioners as the augmented funds will allow—each having an allowance of clothing and six shillings a week. It appears that four other persons in Stamford have had communication with the Bishop of Lincoln on the subject; and there is at length a hope that the statutes of the institution (which have been for ages withheld from public view) will be promulgated; and that the disgraceful walappropriation of the large means given for the benefit of the poor, by one who intended to be a liberal benefactor to the town (but whose p erverte d means have done little more than add to the thous an d s o f ot h er examples of the danger of entrusting tothoenclesragtyurtthlaeyadlams: nistration of charities) will cea se within a sh or t t i me, and that the benefits of the Bede-house will be extend e d, as they ought to be, to 150 persons, i n stead of fourteeu.--Stninford Mercury.

In the meantime they robbed them of a very valuable gold watch, with a rich chain and its appendages, together with money and other things, leaving the gentle men lying on the ground insensible. Several persons ran out of the public-house opposite, but the villains had effected their escape. The police were called for some time, but none could be found. Large bills were posted on Saturday round the metropolis, offeri ng a rewar d f or the recovery o f t h e property, the apprehension of the robbers. —NARRoW ESCAPE FR - M CAUTIONS G D :e 7 uw Ni i:h ° ,a — lad n y B a u t l id a little boy, between London and Woolwich steamer coming alongsble the stone pier at ul g s e y n : ie ft r lnzit c , c a om bo p u a t n l i e e u d r b o:clock , on the Sybil two and three years of age, who were waiting to proceed to Li.mitnt, on perceiving the overcrowded state of the boat, refused to go aboar i, preferring to await the arrival of the next boat.

William Clare and James Quinlan, the driver and stoker of the Firefly engine, which caused the late serious and fatal evident on the Eastern Counties Railway, at Stratford, were brought up under a writ of habeas, before Chief Baro❑ Pa lock, at the Judges' Chambers, to ascertain if there was any just reason why the prisoners should not be admitted to bail. Mr. B. W. Rawlings, solicitor, of Romford, appeared in support of the application ;. and Mr. W'►itticomb, of the firm of Messrs Duncan and Co., on the part of the Eastern Counties Railway Company. Tt►e prisoners were in attend ance in the custody of an officer of Ilford gaol. Mr. RAWLINS stated that the prisoners happened to be employed as the driver and stoker of an engine called the Firefly, which on the 18th of last month unfortunately ran into another train at the Stratford station. For this the so.- cused parties were given into custody by the railway autho rities, and under the powers of Lord Seymour's Act, the Ilford bench of magistrates had committed his clients to take their trial for the misdemeanour. It was on this charge that the writ of habeas had been obtained to bring the prisoners before his Lordship; but subsequently one Of the parties in jured by the accident had died, and a coroner's jury had re turned a verdict of "Manslaughter" against one of the pri soners. He had understood since he had been there that, although the Learned Judge should admit the prisoners to bail, there were police-officers in waiting who held the war rant of Mr. Baker, the Coroner for Middlesex, and who, upon the authority of that warrant, would instantly take Clare into custody, and convey him to Newgate. He (Mr. Raw lings) put it to the Learned Judge, whether he had not the power, should the prisoners be once admitted to bail, to pre- vent either of them being so taken into custody ? The Learned JUDGE said he bad no such power, as it ap peared that to be admitted to bail on the charge of man slaughter was not the actual application before him, al though he must confess that at the outset he had considered that it was so. Mr. WHITTICOMB observed, that if the application had been confined to the admis-ion to bail on the charge of the mis demeanour under Lord Seymour's Act solely, his instructions were, on the part of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, to offer no opposition ; but he could not consent to the ad mission to bail upon the subsequent and more serious charge of marslaughter, especially as the security was so small as two sureties in the sum of 50/. each. Mr. RAwLiNas--Would not the taking into custody of either of the prisoners, after their admission to bail by your Lordship, be a contempt of court, my Lord? Chief Baron PoLLocx—Certainly not; it is on another charge. • Ali. RAWLINGS submitted the hardship that would be in flicted on the poor man Clare if allowed to be taken into cus tody and conveyed to Newgate the moment he was admitted to bail, moreover as he understood it was intended to apply to put off the trial from the next session of the Central Criminal Court to the subsequent one. The Learned JUDGE said ne should accept the bail for the misdemeanour, and if the accused Clare was taken into cus tody on the coroner's warrant, the depositions could be im mediately forwarded to him, 4 and he would admit him to bail in that case also. Mr. Charles Renck, of the Angel Inn, Stratford, and Mr. James Heath, grocer, of Stratford, having been accepted as bail, these proceedings terminated. Clare was subsequently taken into custody on the coroner's warrant, but the necessary arrangements were made in the course of the day for his admission to bail. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT OLD COURT. .. _ The Court was occupied throughout the day with cases of uttering counterfeit money, but none of them ps sessed any interest whatever. NEW GOUIIT. Thomas Livermore was indicted for embezzling two trifling sums of money from his master, Mr. W. Lamprell. Mr. DOANE. who appeared for the prosecution, stated the case, from which it appeared that the prosecutor was a licensed victualler, and that the prisoner was in his employ, his duty being to carry beer to his customers, and to make up his accounts daily. The latter he omitted to do in July last, and gave no account of the money he had received from one of the customers, with the embezzlement of which he was now charged. The payment of the money to the prisoner having been proved, and the witnesses cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine, who appeared on the part of the prisoner, The COMMON SERGEANT summed up, and The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. UTTERING A FORGED ORDER.—James Russell, a lad, ap parently about 15 years of age, was indicted for uttering a forged order on the 23d of July last, with a view to obtain goods fraudulently. Mr. CLARKSON, who appeared on the part of the prosecu tion, stated the case. The offence with which the prisoner stood indicted was very common, and one from which, re spectable persons in business had suffered very severely. The prosecutors, Messrs. Ellis and Co., who carried on a respect. able business, had amongst their customers a gentleman I named Owen, who was also in business in Great Coram street. On the day in question the prisoner came to the shop of Messrs. Ellis and Co. and presented an order, which purported to be from M r . O wen , an d w hi c h was as follows: " Gentlemen—You will oblige me by sending by the bearer a piece of satin of each of the enclosed patterns, each piece not to exceed in price 48. " D. W. OVEN." These facts having been proved, the prisoner, who was called on tor his defence, said that he had been the dupe of another person, with whom previously he had had some acquaintance, and who met him on the day in question, and represented himself to be in the employ of Mr. Owen. This person gave him the order, which be told him he had just received, and desired him, as soon he had obtained the goods, to meet him at a place which he speci• fled. He was quite innocent of any intention to commit the crime with which he was charged. The COMMON SERGEANT summed up. He said the points which the jury had to try were, whether the prisoner had presented the order in question, whether that order was forged, and whether the prisoner at the bar was cognizant of the latter fact. The two first had been clearly established ; and he thought that there was little credit to be attached to the s'atement of the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty ; and, it appearing that the prisoner was well known at the Court, he was sen tenced to be transported for seven years. POLICE IN TELL IGENCE. GUILDHALL. MR. WILLIAM COBBETT.—On Monday Mrs. Cobbett, the wife of the above individual, who is at present in the Court of Queen's Bench, and who is the son of the late celebrated 3:r. Cobbett, appeared before Alderman Wood, for the purpose of making an application under the following circumstances : Mrs. Cobbett stated that about eleven years ago a person named Jesse Oldfield came to her father-in-law's house in Sheffield, and represented himself as a man of substance. He also brought a woman with him, whom he represented to be his wife. On being asked if he had ever been in ser vice, he replied in the negative. From that time he had been connected with Mr. Cobbett's family ; and, on the death of the elder gentleman, he ( Mr. Wm. Cobbett, the heir-at •law.) was, on the property being thrown into Chancery by the gross impo s iti on o f Jesse Oldfield, thrown into prison, where he had been for seven years. She now applied, on behalf of her husband, under an Act paused in the reign of George HI., for the punish ment of persons uttering false certificates and cha racters of servants. Jesse Oldfield had said that he had never been a servant, when it was untrue, and that the woman whom he introduced was his wife, which was not the case. Under tha,e circumstances she now applied on behalf of Mr. William Cobbett, that he (Aicerman Wood) would order two magistrates to go to the Queen's Bench and take her husband's evidence, on oath, respecting her statement, for the purpose of granting a warrant and apprehending Mr. Oldfield on these darges. Forgery had been committed, and the Judges had informed her, if such was the ease, she could apply to these Courts and they would take the proper steps for doing justice to all parties. She had applied a . the Mansion House and they had referred her to this Court (Guildhall). Alderman WOOD said he thought that the Act under which applicant applied had been repealed during the reign of either George IV., or William IV., but on looking over the various Acts of Parliament, no such clause could be found. Mrs. Cobbett observed that Oldfield was quite willing to' compromise with them and let her husband out. if he would stay all further proceedings, but they were determined not to do so. Alderman Weep said, from the letter he had read from Mr. Cobbett, he was of opinion that Oldfield was in the relationship of a confidential steward with the late Mr. Cobbett. Mrs. Cobbett urged that Mr. Oldfield had committed forgery, and that be wa3, and had been, erjo:ving Chef; property to the amount of nearly 25,000/. tor the last seven years. Alderman WOOD was of opinion that it would be highly indecorous fbr a magistrate to interfere with the pri,eceoing s of a superior Court. The question of forgery had been mooted in the Court of Chancery, and instead of its being thought a case of forgery, the decision was quite the reverse. Under these circumstances he could not accede to the appli cant's request. The parties then left the Court. SOUTHWARK. On Monday, Mrs. Cobbett, the wife of one of the sons of the late W. Cobbett, made an application for a warrant against a person who had been formerly in her husband's service. She said that her husband, Mr. Cobbett, had now been an inmate of the Queen's Bench prison for the last seven years, arising out of a Chancery proceeding, in which there was pending a suit to the amount of 22,0001. ; that the it dividual against whom she made the present complaint had obtained employment under her husban a father by means of a fictitious character, and that principally through his means they had been d frauded of property to the above amount, which they ought to be enjoying now, instead of Mr. Cobbett lingering for a period of seven years within the walls of a gaol. That her husband was justly entitled to the property there was no doubt upon earth; but by the pro eedings adopted by the Court of Chancery they were ' kept out of it, and they had no hope of redress from that quarter. Her object in making the present application was to ascertain if they could not have some redress at this court against the man who had, by means of false pretences, ob tained employment in her husband's service, and who, by artifice and chicanery, was the cause of producing such misfortune amongst the members of his family. Mr. CorriNGHaat inquired how long ago it was that the party against whom the alleged complaint was preferred had acted in the manner described P—The reply was that it was now about ten 3 - ears ago, and that she wa s i n d uced to make the present application owing to a case of a similar nature having been brought under the notice a short time since 01 ss the Lord Mayor, and in which the applicant h a d redress Mr. COTT INGIIAM said that he regretted to hear of . the present situation of the applicant's husband, but that toe long a period bad been suffered to elapse to take proceedings against the party of vitoin site complained. But with respect to the p:,,c,e.angs in the C ourt o f Chancery, of course he could not offer any opinion or advice. Toe applicant stated, that if her husband i, consented to give an undertaking nut to proc•ed fu er in the s uit fo r the recovery of his prop eriy he would Uo . liberat(d to-mor row. This, however, he would n. t consent to do, and ulti mately, from the justice of hi s claim, expected to recover his property. The applicant having thanked the Magistrate then withdrew. B 0 W-STR R ET. Mr Robert Oliphant, the son of Mr. James Oliphant, army accountant, was charged with an assault upon Mr. Dimand, partner to Mr. Eisenberg, the "chiropodist." Mr. Dimand, who is a foreigner, and spoke with great. difficulty, stated that the assault arose out of a dispute in respect of some money burrowed by the defendant in the name of his father, for payment of which he applied to the father on Monby. Mr. Oliphant sent a - message to him, desiring him to go to his (Mr. Oliphant's) office, and to wait there for him. This he refuses to do; but Mn Eisenberg, who was with him at the time, went to the offi-e. lilts Oliphant agaift sent a message to him to go to the office, and he did so. On his entering the office he f - ound Mr. Eisenberg there, with the defendant and his brother, Mr. Henry Oliphant, who both "began to abuse him," and called hint a " scamp," "rascal," " vagabond," &c. He turned to Mr. Eisenberg and said, "Let us leave these blackguards. and go away ;" upon which the defendant rushed upon him and struck him a violent blow on the mouth, which hurt him very severely, and drew blood. A police. man was then sent ter, and took the prisoner in custody, while witness left the o f fi c e an d went to the ne 'rest-surgeon ' s. —(The witness's mouth was very much swelled.) Mr: Eisenberg said that, on his entering the office, he found the defendant and ills brother there. The latter asked him how Mr. Dimand dared to go and talk to his father about the money he had lent his brother ? Aid the de fendant said—" If he comes down here we will knock him down ; red if I do it I'll dash his brains out ; he shall not walk out again ; he shall be carried out." Mr. Henry Oliphant either said the same thing, or "-assisted the de fendant to say it," but witness was not quite sure. When Mr. Dimand was heard coming down stairs to- the office the defendant and his brother both said " Here he is; we'll do fur him:" and on his entering the office the defendant com mitted the assault described by Mr. Dimand. The defendant admitted that he struck the complainant, but denied that the circumstances were as they had been described by him and Mr. Eisenberg. He said that when Mr. Eisenberg entered the office he (defendant) complained of the conduct of Mr. Dimand in going to tell his father about a debt which he had contracted, and said," The dirty little devil deserves to be kicked out of the office." Mr. Di mand, on coining into the office, called his brother (Mr. H. Oliphant) " a blackguard," of which he took no notice, but defendant said, " I would not let him call me a black guard, I would knock him down if he did so." The com plainant then turned to him and called him a blackguard, upon which he struck him in the face. He did not use any of the language described, and neither he nor his brother threatened to knock the complainant down, or knock his brainsout, or" do for him." The defendant called, as witnesses, his brother, Mr. Henry Oliphant, and a clerk in the office, who fully confirmed the above statement. Mr. JARDINE said that he thought the provocation proved to have been given, though it would not justify, would yet palliate the assault. It would have been better if the de fendant had acted in the sa:ne manner as his brother had, and taken no* notice of the complainant's abuse ; or if he had turned him out of the office, which he might have done without striking him. However, he would not go to the full extent of tie law, but would fine the prisoner 405., or, in default, sentence him to one month's imprisonment. A charge of obtaining 61. under false.pretences was after wards preferred by the complainant's solicitor agai , ist de fendant, but Mr. JARDINE refused to entertain it, saying be thought there was no foundation in it. GREEZ WICH. On M , mtlay a very respectably at tired middle-aged man, e scribed in the police-sheet as Henry Lee, of Haggerstone, Kingsland-road, London, litiendraper, was brought before Mr. Trail, charged with indecently expgaing his perscn, three distinct times,. to nurserymaids, having the care of children, in Greenwich-park, under the following circum stances:— (Mr. Holion, of Commercial-road East, solicitor, attended for the prisoner.) Jane Long, a very pretty girl, aged 15, deposed that she is nurser} maid in Mr. R. Stedall's family, ironmonger, Nel son-street, Greenwich. On Saturday afternoon, between half-past four and five o'clock, she was walking with the children on the lawn fronting the Asylum wall in the park. The prisoner stood near the wall and deliberately exposed his person. Witness walked away, and the prisoner pro ceeded in the same direction near some trees, and again ex p• sed himself. Had no doubt that he (lid so intentionally. He turned round to see if any person observed him before the second offence. Witness then made her way up the I ark, and told a fruit woman whom she met what had taken place, and she went in search of a pwice-constable. James Jeffries, aged 12, deposed that his mother sells flat in the Park. He was with her on Saturday afternoon. Witness was on'Flamsted-hill, and saw the prisoner by the side of the Royal Othervati ry next Maize hill. The pri soner had his back to a tree, and was exposing his person to two ladies with children, and was laughing at them. Wit ness ran away anti told a police-constable, who apprehended the prisoner, but the lashes had gone away. A girl told wit ness's mother that the prisoner had been guilty of similar conduct about twenty minutes previously. Braddick, R 64, deposed that he apprehended the prisoner, who was quite sober at the time. The witness Jeffries pointed the prisoner out, and told him distinctly what he hid seen. The prisoner did not deny it, but said that he was sorry to have such an accusation against hi m . Wi tness took the prisoner to Mr. Stedall's house, and while there he remarked that he should like to palliate the offence, or some such word. Mr. R ,bert Stedall, of Nelson-street, Greenwich, deposed that Jane Long is his servant, and has the care of his chil dren. They were directed to take a walk in the Park on Saturday last. Witness was in his counting• house when the prisoner was brought into the shop by the police-constable. The nature of the case haying been communicated to wit peas by the police constable in the prisoner's presence, he turned and said he was very sorry for what had happened ; that he did not attempt to palliate the matter, and continued to apologise; but, on being told that he must go to the station house, replied, " Oh, I don't mean to acknowledge anything; the affair wiis merely an accident." 'The witnesses were Subject to a long cross-examination by Mr. Hodson, but their testimony was not only unshaken, but more fully satisfied the magistrate of its correctness. The charge was denied, and a defence set up that the prisoner was labouring under an inward complaint, and was in a corner by the Asyluni wall, when some boys threw stones while so engaged, which caused him suddenly to turn, not thinking for a moment of exposing his person to any one. Mr. TRAILL said tnat three separate and distinct charges had been proved against the prisoner. He was sorry to see a person apparently so respectable in life in such a disgrace ful situation. If he was a person of high rank, or a near re lative, it would be his imperative duty to convict, let the con setlueners be ever so distrtSsing. A clearer case of guilt he did not remember. The prisoner said he had been brought to the station-house through a heavy rain, and kept in a miserable cell twenty-six hours in that state. Mr. TRAILL said the prisoner was liable, for so serious an offence, to be imprisoned in the House of Correction and kept to hard lsbour for three mi nths. He would, however, con sidering that he had already received some punishment, mitigate the sentence to ten weeks' imprisonment and hard labour in the county gaol. The prisoner left the bar eclaiming that it would be his total ruin• THE LATE MURDER AT THE GUILDHALL COFFEE-HOUSE. MANSION-HOUSE John Vincent Smith, late cook at the Guildhall Coffee house, was yesterday brought up before the Lord Mayor for re-examination, charged with the murder of Susan T.lloday, his fellow-servant. The Court was crowded, and hundreds of persons who could not obtain admittance were constrained (however impatiently) to remain outside, in the expect,ition of seeing the unfortunate criminal as he would arrive at the Mansion-house. The Lord Mayor took his seat at ten minutes before one o'clock. The prisoner was immediately after placed at the bar. He looked thirty or thirty-five years of age, and seemed fully sensible of the awfbl position in which he stood The girl, Fanny Wetenhall, was first examined by Mr. Goodman, chief clerk—She resided in Halfmoon-alley, and had been employed hi the Guildhall Coffee- house for the last eight weeks. She knew the prisoner at the bar, who had been cook, and also the deceased, Susan, woo acted as kitchen maid She heard some quarrelling between prisoner and deceased on Friday last. She did not know what it was about, but it eon: inued almost all day. She saw no blows given. Witness got there on Saturday at nine o'clock in the morning, and after that time was principally employed in the kitchen, up to twelve o'clock. The prisoner and thceasAl were quarreling on that morning., but she did not know what it was - about. She thought they were quarrelling about Mrs. Riley, the charwoman. Mrs. Riley was there. He said that Mrs. Riley had got some things that she had never paid for. Susan took Mrs. Riley's part. She said "the cook was not acting like a man for grumbling at the poor woman." She could not tell what hour it was, but it might be half an hour before " this affair took place." Mrs. Riley was sent away, and atter she had gone, witness heard no more quarreilicg between the prisoner and deceased. Susan was then sitting down, cutting beans. She had been doing so about half- an hour. She was then sitting at the kitchen table. Prisoner was picking ducks at the other corner of the table. He was picking them with a knife in his hand. He was using the knife to pick the feathers off. They were thus engaged when she (witness) was sent out of the kitchen. She was scut by the cook, about half-p ist twelve, to the bar to Miss Green, to get some lard and eggs, but she said that he was to come himself, as she was busy. Witness then went back and delivered the n'essage to cook. The prisoner and Susan were in the same place that she had hft them in. The prisoner had by that time trussed the I ducks, and they were lying on the table. The table was six or seven feet. long. They were not quite the length of the table separated from each other. She did not hear any conversation between them. The prisoner then gave witness a bason. He brought it trots near the larder, and said she was to get some milk and ‘.ggs. She was nut sure that he hail the knife in his hand, at that time. Witness went back again to the bar and saw Miss Green again. Miss Green gave her the milk and egg s . The kitchen cannot be all seen fromthie the bar. and its, She distant about ten or twelve feet frett t h h a e d m b i e l k en O ab n se r n et t ur a n b in o g u , t sh fi e ve m m et in t u h t e es de w ce h a i s l e e d schoemifnegtchteod. wards tha bar, on the stairs. She saw her throat was cut, and she fell at the foot of the stairs Miss Green began to "holloa" and cry , out. She heard Susan say nothing. She had a small white-handled knife (the one she was cutting the beans with) in her hand. She (witness) did not s ee the prisoner at the time th at Susan fell, nor till she saw the policeman take him away afterwards. While she stood at the bar she heard no noise as of quarrelling in the kitchen. Witness afterwards went home. In answer to questions from Mr. Goodman, the witness added that deceased said, when she and the cook were quar relling about Mrs. Riley, that " he was not acting like a man, and he would remember it before many months were over his head." The prisoner said " she might before many hours went over her head " Witness recollected nothing else. The LORD MAYOR asked if the prisoner had any question to ask the witness? Prisoner—l could not understand a word that was said. Will you have the goodness to read it to me. Mr. Goodman then read the evidence as given by the girl Wetenhall. The prisoner, in answer to the question whether ho had anything to ask the witness, said be would reserve his defence. John Tolloday, twenty-one years of age, lived at Castle lane, Cambridge, and was a whitesmith. The deceased was his sister, and her name was Susan Tolloday. She was cousin to the prisoner's wife. Witness haa never seen prisoner and his sister together. The prisoner had no question to ask. The LORD MAYOR asked if the prisoner had anything to say why be should not be committed for trial? The pri soner had nothing to say. The witnesses were then bound over to appear against the prisoner at the present sessions (now sitting).
