THE SIXTH VOLUME OF " THE NELSON LETTERS AND DISPATCHES," just published, will be considered to rival either of its predecessors in interest, when it is known that they were written from 1804 to 180.5, whilst Nelson was Com mender in Chief in the Mediterranean, watching the French squadron In Toulon, until it sailed to the West Indies, where it was eagerly pursued by him with a very inferior force. Not the least important portion of this volume is the reply it contains to the assertions made in M. Thiers'srecent history. As this truly national publication approaches its conclusion— which will be effected in the next volume—it is evident that the value of the materials greatly increases.

NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Bedford, March 11. NISI PRILIS CliOla.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKS and Special Jary.) • JOHN,COULTAS V. TiMuTILY riszi FORD BOWES, CLERK. • The trial of this cause Was_ Proceeded with at nine o'clock this morning, • and the following witnesses examined for the plaintiff Thomas Hughes, examined by Mr. O'MaJLEY—I am a groom to the defendant., and have been for six years. I know the study. I have seen something in that study. It was in Oct •ber fast.. It was through tits window ; hi the evenin.., between eight and nine o'cl.tok. Mrs. Barnes and Dr. Bowes were there: He had hold of her hand. She was sitting on the left. hand of the the, and - he was standing at it. 1 heard him Say, " The more uncomfirtaule vim make Coultas the better. .. Try all you can to make his life miserable, and then perhaps he will go and leave you, and then I shall have you to myself." I 'saw them agd tin November. lie gave her wine in - the room, and put his arm round her, and kissed her.

I put my face close to the window and heard perfectly what passed. 'l'hete was a strung light, so that 1 could set well. Sarah Church-4 live at Barton, and was at home on the Ist of December last. I saw the plaintiff and defendant in the road; and heard Coultas say " That's a lie, Sir," to Dr. Bowes. Dr.. Bowes said, don't kn,w, Coultas, where she is gon6, and I call on God to witness." . 'That was between tbur and five o'clock. Coultas said, " That's a lie, Sir, you do know where she is gone." Sarah Anne an the daughter of a stationer at Luton. Dr. Bowes deals and writes letters there sometimes. On the 4th or,f)tkof December he was there in the afternoon. He bought a quire of note paper, and asked to write a letter On it. I saw him take a sheet of paper and write on it, but I could not say whether it was in the form of a letter. He binight a Pictorial Times and Punch. The letter was then admitt,d to be the defendant's hand writing, as also the address of the Pictorial Times and Pearls. The ail ets was, ":dry. itainv,_ Mr. Jackson's, Stafford Arms, Walt...diem." ' The letters given yesterday were then put in and read by the officer of tue Court. This being the close of the plaintiff's case, The. ATToRNEY-IiENERAL addressed the jury for the de fendant in the hallowing terms :—Every one present must have observed how frightfully exposed all are to accusations which May 'ruin us, and how dependent we are on the fears of the depraved fur escape from aceusation. Advanced age, cha racter, benevelence, charity, and mildness have all been com bined in the peison of the defendant, and yet he has not escaped the attacks of the plaintiff. how should we meet such a charge against ourselves? Only by examining the cha racters of those who make it.. The defendant has come into Court utterly ignorant 01 the circumstances on which this charge was to be founded—tile times and dates by which false hoou may be detected and exposed. We have been obliged to deal with the witnesses as they came before us, and then to expose to you openly and candidly the whole household of Dr. Bowes, calling before you all who could know anything of his mode of life. On time part of the plaintiff it has been been represented that he had no proof of guilt until the 30th of November; and, from the shape of the case, it will be necessary to introduce to the jury facts end circumstances which haVe hitherto been concealed from view. In the first place, it is to be observed, tnat the age of the r•upposed para mour is such as to make this case one of the most novel cite• meter, while that of the woman is no less remarkable,. Mrs. Barnes being now no less plan 54. Los ses b owe d the spirits and health of the defendant to the ground. By the advice of his medical man, Dr. Wilson, he was advised to have some one who could be eAttantly at hand at all hours of the day and night. It has 'been suggested that it would have been far better that: a . male _servant should have been selected; but do the jury agree in that view? If so, then the whole course of treatment at our hos pitals ought to be abandoned as a complete mistake. The cli dice, however, having so naturally, and, as he insisted, properly fallen on Barnes, it was notorious throughout the whole house that she was in close attendance on her master, taking tea to him in the morning and gruel at night, and lacing a stocking which he was advised to wear. This was known full well to the plaintiff, who had seen it hundreds of times, and yet poison was to be extracted from these harmless ingredients. Besides this, the defendant, who was wifeless and childless, was anxious that the dull and heavy hours of night should be assisted by the presence of his old and va lued servant, who had shared his earlier griefs; and might best of all his household .be sunmooed to his aid, for time purpose of whiling away the hours of a long evening. It has been said that this guilt has been in course of operation for some time, but that it did not come upon the plaintiff with full force till. November 29, 1815. Now, to understand this case, it will be necessary to inquire into the personal his tory of the plaintiff, and it will be seen that he had far the last six years become addicted to drink, and that in his fits of drunkenness he had behaved with brutal violence to all around him, and especially his wife. In 1843 he was bound over by Dr. Bland to keep the peace on a c h arge by his wife. On that occasion Mary Hollett accused him of an act of gross indecency, and the plaintiff then, in the most foul . terms, accused, his wife of infidelity with his master,. and it is to be regretted that Dr. Bowes did not at once discharge .him. It is, however, not to be wondered at that he could not bear to take steps which would deprive him of the attendance - and presence of one who was necessary to his comfort. He 'did not, there fore, ttischarge the plaintiff, and he passed over the matter quietly, and so matters went on till January, 1844, when, on the occasion of an epidemy prevailing at.thirton she was re moved, under medical advice, to London , for change of air. Dr. Wilson has been challenged, and he will be produced to prove that all that Dr. Bowes wrote to the plaintiff was quite true. That letter was quite natural and correct, and it will be shown that Coultas was in town and slept in the room, though in a separate bed, with his wife. Oa the oc casion of that visit to town Coultas himself wrote several letters to. the defendant, which fully allowed that no im•• proper connexion existed between the plaintiff's wife and the defendant, which were penned before that written by the defendant to him. The Learned Gen !eaten then read two letters, showing that no suspicion remained on his mind at that time, which was six months after the charge made by him when drunk in 1843, and proceeded to contend that no foundation existed for the suspicion of the plaintiff. for he would call the maid of the hotel in London and Dr. Wilson, who would prove the circumstances under which the parties came to town. At one time he thicatened to shoot her, and resorted to his gun, when, in August, 1845, she was about to go to see her mother at Wakefield. The. case now ap proaches the critical period of November, 1845; and the defendant will be able to show what took place on the 30th of that month. On that day. at 9 at night, Coultas came home quite mad with drink, and so conducted himself that his wife required Catherine Jewitt to sleep with her for her protection, and it will be shown that at night he insisted on being allowed to sleep with her. His conduct mats so violent that the two women slept in their clothes,- it being three o'clock in the morning before they crept to bed, and he was in some sort pacified. The following day she of her own ac cord went away from Burton, in th absence. of Dr. Bowes, whom she and the gardener met on their way. Dr. Bowes sent his man after her to warn her of her husband's violent threats. These circumstances fully_ develop the innocence of the defendant and Mrs. Barnes. Now, it could not have escaped pbservation, that n o o ne pretends to say that the study door was ever locked. If, then, .the. defendant was in the habit of carrying on any improper intimacy with Barnes he might at any moment have been discovered and exposed in the very act, and the clearest possible proof adduced of their guilt. Then, again, it had been said by the witnesses Furness and Hinds that Mrs Coultas was in the habit of being drunk, and to the knowledge of Dr. Bowes; but though true that shoat two years since site had certainly been observed by the servants at times to be the worse for liquor, yet it does not appear that the defendant was aware of it, and even if he were he might well be inclined to pass it over in rememtirance of her former services. We now. come -to the direct evidence of this case, and the first remark which it calls forth is, that it is impos sible to meet it by contradictory evidence. • It - is a sort of case to which all men are exposed. The first person examined on this part of the case was Catherine Furness, who spoke to seeing her master and Mrs. Barnes come out of the bed room, after which she went. in and observed that the bed bore two impressions. Now, if the parties had been guilty, there would heve only been one impression ; but the next answer to her evidence is the fact that the bed the_ doctor slept on was a mattress, toil not a feather bed, so that there could not have been the impressions on it which she spoke of. Then comes Henry Smith, whose testimony must have prepared the jury for the observations and evidence which would be presented to them in 'answer and explanation to it. That man indeed says that he believes in a Supreme Being, but what Being ? Is it a Supreme Being who is the God of truth and punisher of falsehood ? Why,. the devils believe and tremble, and so may he. This worthless man has the audacity to say that the defendant and Barnes, when in a room three or four feet from the kitchen-doer, talked so loudly as that he 'could distinctly hear them through the closed window. Is it credible ? Is it possible that it was truth ? 'He says that he looked through the blind. Now, since yesterday the window has been measured. The glass is 2 feet 11i inches wide, while the blind is actually 3 feet 1 inch wide ; so that it is quite impossible for any one to see through the window. Henry Smith must have therefore come at a critical moment, quite unprecedented in its op portunities for such watching. If true, intercourse took place , who did not treat the more than the preparation in the study, though i t would not appear . to h ave. b een con his lust at night. in the evening. e t it) e lfid d anc ttbmhywea man for u e af ocetrcy L o eiantasi accomplished in e sy d hg ter h C (al it o ili c ge n ta s i t e m ie l n study of C t oß e n t. t d a l t u n l h a c Was not that enough for the plaintiff ? Yet he makes an appointment with the other brother, who is made to look through the defendant's bed-room win dow, and again to see the parties under circumstances which, if true, would admnit of no doubt of guilt. As regards that piece of evidence,' an experiment has been made since yes terday, and with the blind in the same situation as it was on the night in question ; it has been discovered that it was absolutely impossible for any one to see what was going on in the room. One only other witness r ema i ns to b e com mented on, the groom Hughes, a man, who was reluctantly compelled to admit that he had decamped from his master's service on Saturday, with his livery, in which he now ap peared, and yet he swore at first that he was still in the defendant's set—ice. He speaks, however, to conversations which are from the very words put into the mouth of the defendant, palpable inventions. In answer to this case the defendant will show the whole history of the plaintiff's con duct, and adduce every member of his household to prove the utter falsehood of the charge brought by him against his master; and when he shall have done so, the defendant will fearlessly rely on the judgment of the jury for his acquittal. Never before has the breath of sutpicion impugned his cha racter ; and how could a man so situated and so beloved sink so low as to practise the vice imputed to him ? The duty intrusted to hint had now been discharged, and under cir cumstances as difficult as were ever experienced by any ad vocate, He trusted that the jury would, ere long, see their way to a verdict In favour of his client, and restore him to that peace of mind which was so essential to the happiness of age. His all. was at stake on this issue, and lie fearlessly relied on a triumphant acquittal at the hands of a jury so enirivien; 44 :hat Which was now empanelled between him and the plaintiff. 'Dr. Wilson, examined by Mr. Sergeant BYLES—I am a doctor of medicine, residing at 28, Dover -street, Piccadilly. naee known the defendant for many years. and the late WO rig 'well. On the 29th of April, 1839, I stayed one night anct . part Af 4e4t dap Airs. *twos 4iod on the 28th of July, 1839. She was living then at Barton. After her death, the state of Dr. Bowes's health was most distressing and alarming for a long time. He consulted me, and required constant attendance, and I recommended that some one should be constantly with him to amuse and watch him, and remove his fears as to the suspicions which he entertained as to his own symptoms. I frequently referred to Mrs. Barnes as the fittest person to be about him. She is about 55 or 54, and defendant's age is 69, I believe. I had opportunities of seeing their conduct while the defendant was in town. It was always proper and decorous. „She was decent in her attire and manner, and consistent with her situation. Dr. Bowes used to wear an elastic stocking. He was suffering from varicose veins in one leg, which was much swollen, and he was recommended to wear it• for some years past. In my opinion there was nothing improper in Mrs. Barnes lacing it. When she left I gave her directions to rest her feet as much as possible, and remain in a recumbent position. Matthew Benson, examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST—.Since, June, 1841, I have attended the defendant's household. I have seen him and B irnes. I consider she conducted herself. with the strictest propriety in the relation in which she stood to him. She gave him every attendance consistent with her situation, and in a modest and proper manner. ln conse quence of the return of her fever, I told her I thought Dr. Bowes would have no objection to her going into the study and resting on the sofa, when opportunity would permit. She after that used•to go there. I observed her manner towards Dr. Bowes then. It was becoming her situation. Cross-examined—l have seen her as cook, and I have- at tended her in the defendant's bedroom. She cooked with entire propriety and decorum. When I advised' her to re cline on the sofa, I did not tell her to do so in his presence. I never thought of whether he was absent or present. I have seen her on the sofa when I went to see her. It was generally early r in the afternoon, and I frequently found her master'out then. I advised her to go to the study as a warmer place than the kitchen, and not exposed to draughts. I might have said that he was a very troublesome man to attend on by his servants, for he gave a great deal of trouble. A subsequent knowledge of his character has con vinced me that it all arose from the kindness of his heart and disposition. Anne Thomas, examined by the ArroßNEv-GENERAL—In 1813 I was chambermaid at the . St. James's Hotel. Mrs. Barnes came thereon the 28Th of Decembel, Dr. Bowes was staying there then. When she came shelad a room on the second floor. 1)r. Bowes's room was on the first. When her husband came we put up a second bed in her room. He came on the sth of Janeary and left on the 7th, and again on the 9th, and left on. the 23d. Dr. Bowes came on the 28th of December and left on the 30th. He cams again on the Bth of January, and went on the 12th. Mrs. Worsup-1 am sister of Dr. Bowes, and have visited him since 1812, when Barnes first lived with him. He then required constant attention by night and by day, and was not fit to be left alone. Barnes generally waited on him. /ler attentions to him were satisfa - ctory to me as a member of the family.' I looked upon her as a superior person, and always shook hands with her when I went and left. I might do so to other servants, but not with the same 'cordiality. My husband and all the members of the family treated her alike. My brother had tea and gruel taken to him early and late, both at home and in my house, when my own maid took it to him. By the JUDGE—My brother will be 69 next May. John Worsup—l married the sister of Dr. Bowes. This witness corroborated the last witness in all the essential par- titulars. Mr. Hill Wallis, who married a sister of Mrs. Bowes, de posed to the like effect. Miss Ottley—l am the sister of Sir R. Ottley, the late Chief Justice of Ceylon. I became acquainted with the de fendant's family more than twenty years ago. Barnes was always with them. The Rev. Dr. Bland—l am a magistrate of this county, and reside near Barton. I never saw anything of undue famili arity on either side. I know the two Smiths. I have had one of them before me several times on game cases. From what they said on those occasions I should say that they are very ready to swear, but I can't say that I would not believe them on their oaths. I have only seen Henry Smith, and I should have the same feeling with respect to him. Cross-examined—l never treated their oaths as a nullity, but issued summonses. Dr. Bowes was in the room when Coultas spoke of his being " over kind "to his wife. I very likely might have remonstrated with Dr. Bowes. Mary Hollett—l went to Dr. Bowes in June, 1842, for fourteen. months. Barnes was there. Mrs. Barnes and I both made all the bed., iacluding the doctor's bed. The blinds in Dr. Bowes's bed-room were alWays down at night. I used to let them down. The curtains were always drawn round the bed in winter. I have been to the room when Barnes was there, and the study too. I knocked, but never knew the doors to be locked. Her conduct was always very respectful to him. He slept on a wool mattress. I never ascertained whether it would retain an impression if a person were to lie down. Mn.. Barnes never to my knowledge stayed longer up stairs than was necessary for the Doctor to drink the tea. All the servants knew that they would very soon be wanted for prayers when Barnes went in to lace the Doctor's boots. Cross. examined—l have taken tea up when Barnes was away. Coultas came into my bedroom, and wanted to get into bed with me. I screamed out, and Coultas went away. John Hook—l am butler to Dr. Bowes, and have been in his service as footman and butler for 22 years. Barnes has been there all that time, and was very kind and attentive to Mrs. Bowes After her death I heard that she had left Barnes 3001. On the 29th of November Coultas went to bed at his usual time, between 9 and 10 o'clock. Barnes went to bed within an hour. I don't know that Coultas got up again. I slept nearly over her bed-room. Whatever was done in her room could be heard by the persons in his. On Sunday I heard a disturbance shortly after I got into my room. d did not come down as I did not hear any violence. I heard high language for a time, but I did not get up. When the blind is drawn clown in the regular way it is impossible for any one to see into the room. There are two birdcages which always stand on tha window-cill, and help to prevent any one looking in. The blind is wide enough to cover' the whole glass. When the blinds up stairs are down and turned in the usual way it is not possible to see into the room. A ladder placed on the flag-stones would enable you to reach the window. I never knew of the study-door being locked or bolted. She never assumed that familiarity which ser vants might assume who had been improperly connected with their masters. Cross-examined—Since Barnes has left I tried the study blinds and bed-room blind. No one told me; but I heard it said it bad been seen through. I told Mr. Turr.er. I put my eye close to the glass and could not see distinctly. I tried the bed-room at a different time. I tried the bed-room in the daytime and the study in the nighttime. I have taken up my master's tea to him since Barnes went away, and his gruel too. Caroline Jewett—l have lived for a twelvemonth past with Dr. Bowes. Coultas used to get drunk frequently, and used low, disgusting language, when drunk. I never knew them sleep together. When he was drunk and abusive she has asked me to sleep with her. I remember her leaving on the Ist of November, and the night of the Saturday before. Barnes was making some cloaks for the Sunday-school chil dren when he came home, between nine and ten o'clock. He took his candle and went to bed. 1 saw him on the next night at a quarter-past nine. He attended prayers, and went out for two minutes. He sat down with his ac count book. Barnes asked me to sleep with her that night. When I was partly undressed Coultas knocked at the door. I asked what he wanted. He said he wanted to come in, and I opened the door. He said he had come to sleep' with his wife, and ordered me to walk out of the room. I told him I would not ge. Mrs. Coultas had wished me to sleep with her, and I would. He attempted to turn me out, and I resisted. He began to undress, and said wherever she slept, she was his wife, and he would sleep with her in what ever room of the house it was. Mrs. Coultas got with her back against the door, and I pulled his collar. I then pulled the bell for my fellow-servants, and Mr. Coultas got out. I took some of the clothes to her which she had taken off. Coultas followed me down to the kitchen and swore at his wife, who was thre, and called her a w—. I said if she was what he called her he was no man to sleep with her. He said, " What would my father think if anot:ier man went to sleep with my mother?" I said, "If my mother was what he represented his wife to be, my father would not wish to sleep with her, and that a man of his years, who hail been to church twice, ought to set us a better example." He said he would take her away, and make her work fer her bread like any one else, and then he went up to her room, after which he went to his own. Martha Peirce—l was housemaid in November last, at Barton, and made tha beds with Barnes. Master sleeps on a plaid mattress. It is not easily impressed, but it is hollow in the middle. An impression could not easily be made on the sides. On the Sunday I heard a noise at night, and heard the bell go. (This witness then spoke to the same facts which had been proved by the last one.) The bed-room was put into the usual condition, the blind down as usual, and the bed in the same place. I got into the bed, and was Outside too. The light was the same as usual, which is rush light. Besides that there was a candle on the table, and we moved it about in the room. There was a ladder outside. I l 2 o 9 o t k h e d o f through a t o e ro.. It t tt e w n a l s was my o b u u ts s n d e s e , s I . could I not stationeda e a m n thin; • se lcfrino si the e t e h xr e aom r o o mi o n, m e adi through etdh t the the eebdbl blind lit blind u t ( du i downtol.ily was.o n t h down every day. I can't say when 1 was first asked about the blinds. It might be a week ago ; and I remembered the 29th, because that was the day before Mrs. Barnes went away. - Mr. Foxon—l am deacon of the Baptist Chapel at Barton, and deputy-overseer of the poor. I used to go to the Doctor's. Never had any difficulty in getting into the study but once. I went over last night and measured the blind of the bed room window. We made experiments. Mr. Godfrey told the girl Peirce to place the blinds as they generally were when the Doctor was at home. I went up the ladder, and looked through. By putting your head down you could just see the top of the bedstead. I tried every lath to the top of the ladder, and could only see the top of the bedstead. We began at the bottom of the blind. I went to the study also, and observed that the blind covered the window completely. I put my face to the window, and could not see beyond the glimmer of the lights. When the blind was down it covered the whole of the glass and the window-sill. Mr. Godfrey, the clerk to the defendant's attorney, stated to the same effect the result of the trials made last night at the defendant's house. i u r. anatto Coultas rn i e, August Wakefiel d , and .others Decemberth a l a t li William he was were called to p ro ve that they knew the Smiths, and would not b e li eve them on their oaths ; but on cross-examination their conlsr. itGelanbs'B7l ,fir. George Warren, and testi mony fell short of any satisfactory reason for their opinions on the subject, and indeed many of these parties had given the Smiths certie.cates and testimonials of character. Mr. Turner, one of the defendant's attorneys, was next examined, and stated that he had seen William Smith and Hughes at various tim s, in order that he might a.certain what they knew of the matter. William Smith said that he knew nothing wrong between the Doctor and Barnes; that he knew nothing about it. Hughes said," I know nothing about it; lam glad of it." He denied that he was a witness for the plaintiff, or that he had been subpcenaed . by him. I did not hear him say that he would not say anything unless he was compelled or forced to do so. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then put in the letters of Coultas, which he had read in his speech, , and thus closed his case. Mr. O'MALLEY then replied at great length on the whole case, and Mr. Baron PARKE, having summed up the evidence on both sides to the jury, they ultimately found a verdict for the plaintiff, da.nages 2501., at the hour of three o'clock in the morning.

CROWN COURT.—( Before Mr.' Baron ROLM ) SHOOTING A GAMEKEEPER.—Richard Cox, John Cox, Henry Cox, William Crook, and William Hawkins, were in dicted for shooting at Joshua Bell with a gun loaded with gunpowder and leaden shot, with intent to kill and miirdei him. Mr. Slade and Mr. HodgeS conducted the prosecution. Mr. Stone defended Crook and Hawkins. The other pri soners were undefended. Mr. SLADE having stated the case to the jury, called Joshua am gamekeeper to Mr. Bruges. Hi 3 name is Wiliam Heald Ludlow Bruges. I have been keeper to bins sixteen years. .In November last I had an assistant named Ponting. On the 17th I went out with him to watch at half-past eleven. I had a stick with me to protect myself. I never carried fire-arms at night We came to a cover called the Morase cover, where pheasants were.' This was between twelve and one. I heard a gun fired, and walked towards the cover. Before I got there I heard a second gun. That was in the cover. I saw the man who fired the shot by the flash of the gun. I heard a bird fall. Panting and I went along the aide of the cover, and went in. then heard a third gun. We went towards he spot where the sound came from. I saw a man in about a minute. His back was towards me. He was walking and looking up. I walked towards him as fast as I could. He jumped round, and up with a gun and shot 'at me. My hand then touched the muzzle of the gun. The charge blew the cuff of my coat to pieces, and went into my coat and through it. The powder went into my hand, and also set fire to my shirt. [The clothes were here produced.] I looked round and saw another man, and he fired. I dropped as the gun went off. I couldjust see the g un up in the dir ec tio n towards Inc. I heard it go off. I attended a few days after—more than a week after—and pointed out the spot to Hill. After the second shot was fired I went to the man who first shot and took him by the collar. He hollowed in a shrill voice like a boy—" Look out, the are here." I called out for Ponting, who came up. Punting struck the man that at first fired upon the side of the head with a short swingel. He had a " Jim Crow" hat. Then I struck him with this stick on the head, and the "Jim Crow" hat fell off. I did not hear bins say anv thing. It was the same man who shot the,second gun. fie cause and struck me wish the butt-end of the gun on the arm twice. I was holding the man. I know that Harry Cox was also one of them. Four of them came back, and. three of them asked if 1 knew them. I said, " No." I could not see; the blood was running into my eves and my mouth, and I wiped it away. One of them said, " Kill him." Then I received a blow on the back part of my head, which knocked me down and made me insensible. When I came to myself I heard Ponting speaking. I crawled on to some sticks, and laid hold of them and raised myself up. Guns were fired after and during the affray, close round us. I then blew my whistle-pipe. Then I heard the wood crack as if they were getting out ; and voices crying out, " Come on," and the like of that. I'and Pouting went to Farmer Webb's house. He washed the blood off me, and one of his men helped me home. I could not walk home by myself. When I got home the surgeon attended me, Mr. - Plimmer. Was confined to my bed a fortnight. Henry Bell—l am the son of Joshua Bell. On the morn ing of the 18th I went to the " Morass" cover. My father directed me where to go. I found a swingel and a gun-bar rel close to an oak-tree, a ramroad, also a black "Jim Crow," hat and a brown cap, a piece of lead attached to a piece of leather, and a powder-horn. The policeman Hill was with me. The piece of lead with the leather fits to the handle now shown me. George Hill, the policeman, corroborated the last witness as to the finding the articles, and then stated that he found marks of shots on an oak-tree and on another tree. He took shots out of the trees. The marks appeared to be recent. In one tree the marks were two feet nine inches high from the ground, and in the other one foot. He also heard reports of guns on the night in question in the direction of the " Morass" cover. James Wright—l am a superintendent of police. I went to Stephen Cox's house on the 19th of November. Harry Cox was in. He was sitting by the fire bathing his eye. It was cut and much swollen. It was the left eye. John Cox then came in, and afterwards Richard. I took them into custody. The hands and faces of them were much scratched. I searched the house and found the stock of a gun brass mounted, also two jackets bloody, one very wet, a good many Pheasants' feathers in the pockets; also a smock frock with spots of blood on it. This was also wet, but not so wet as the jacket. When I took the gun stock John Cox said, " What are you going to do with that? It is mine, I bought it and paid for it. ' W. King—l am a policeman stationed at Steeple Ashton. I went with the other officers to take the Coxes. I saw spots of blood on the breast of John Cox. I searched Harry Cox. I found on him a handkerchief stained with blood, and some percussion caps. Before this I had seen Richard Cox wear ing a sealskin cap and a smock frock It is similar to this (pointing to one shown him). This was on the 19th. I also saw Harry Cox wearing a round hat like this. On the 20th I searched at Maddox's shop, and found a gun barrel and a stock of a gun. They did not match. It was lying under the window. The next day I found a gun barrel in Maddox's workshop. Alfred King was recalled, and identified the caps found in the cover as having been worn by Harry and Richard Cox. Barnett also spoke to the same fact, and also to one of the guns being Harry Cox's. Mr. Phelps was then called—He stated he was agent to Mr. Bruges, and proved his occupation of the cover in question. . . This concluded the case for the prosecution. Mr. STONE addressed the jury for the prisoners Crook and :awkins, and contended, first, that there was no evidence that the guns were tired off intentionally, and even if they were, there was no evidence to show that the prisoners whom he defended had any common intention with the persons firing off the guns to injure the gamekeeper. 317. Baron ROLFE then summed up the case to the jury. The jury, after taking some time to deliberate, returned a verdict of Guilty against John Cox, Harry Cox, and Richard Cox ; but Acquitted Hawkins and Crook. The Learned JUDGE then sentenced them to be transported beyond the seas for the term of twenty years. Hawkins and Crook were then indicted for night poach ing, to which charge (under the advice of their counsel, Mr. Stone) they pleaded Guilty. Hawkins was recommended to mercy on the part of the prosecution. The Learned JUDGE then sentenced Crook to be impri soned for eighteen calendar months, with hard labour, and Hawkins to twelve months. (Befure Mr. Justice ERLE, presiding in the Nisi Prius Court.) John Sharp was indicted for having feloniously incited one William Sturgis, to steal two Bank of England notes, a promissory not for 50/., a quantity of sovereigns and half sovere►gns, and a watch, the property of one Elizabeth Sturgis, from her dwelling-house, in the parish of Codford St. Peter's, in this county, The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a ver dict of—Not Guilty. • - NORTHERN CI RC ClT.—York, March 11. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CoLEamcat.) Joseph. I.lOdkin, aged 18, and Joshua Eastwood, of the same age, were indicted jointly, the former for haying, on the 27th of February last, at Ecclesfield, in the West Riding, feloni ously shot at, with intent to murder, one Thomas Greaves, and the latter for being feloniously present, aiding, abetting, and assisting Hodkin in the commission of the said felony. The offence was variously stated in the indictment, the several intents, to murder, to maim, to do some grievous bodily harm, /sc., being laid in several counts. Mr. Overend (with whom was Mr. Smith) appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Bliss defended the prisoners. The prosecutor himself, in consequence of the injuries he has sustained, was too unwell to be a witness; but from the evidence of Mary Ann Walker, 011ershaw, and Jno. Booker, the servants, it appeared that on the 26th February the two prisoners came to the prosecutor's house, where thev sat down for some time arid had some beer, and behaved them selves quite quietly. On the next day, the 27th, they came again, and were in the house in the same room with the family, during the time when the latter were at their dinner. They were not intoxicated ; they had two pints of beer between them, and some bread and cheese. The prosecutor and his wife, together with the two men-servants, sat at one table, the maid-servant and the two children at a separate table, and the prisoners were together at a third. The pri soners carried sticks with them, but of no extraordinary size or shape. They were rough sticks; the larger apparently on oaken hedge stake, about an inch and a half in di ameter. Before the family had finished their dinner one of the pri soners was heard to say, "Let's sup up and go." Upon that they both arose, and at that moment Booker, who sat with his back to the prisoner's table, received a blow as with a stick, by which he was knocked down. This witness heard no shooting, being, as he said, " maddled"—stupitied, or made dizzy by the blow. He got up quickly, but was alarmed from the attack made upon him, and invr ediately ran out of the house and into saTeseilcnizineepdewounded, by the other man a plantation. The female servant, whose position was such as to enable her to observe more, stated that she . F . aw a the prisoners as they got up. She saw Hodkin puro"se pistol out of his pocket; hold it towards the and fire cutor's left cheek, as if to take' ai at prisoner ainnd t hh eatwas Eastwood cheek.no it. when the prosecutor became Having done so, Hodkin ma w d a e rd h s ! t captured till some time afterwards .. The the getaw aeg n m e u w eh as st ' ronger prisoner, brought did not servant, who, him down upon the floor, and there "jowled" him a good deal, after which he wa s p inione d and kept in custody. East wood, while in the hands of 011ershaw and on the floor, called out, saying, „ Let me alone, master, I'll tell you the truth; we meant killing you, and robbing the house." A pistol loaded with powder and ball, was found in this pri soner's pocket. Hodkin carried off with him the one which he had fired, and the latter pistol resembled the one found upon Eastwood in point of size. Mr. Jonathan Barber, assistant to Mr. Overend, surgeon, of Sheffield, stated that he had attended the prosecutor upon the occasion of the wound he had received. It was a pene trating wound, about the middle of the left cheek.. It per forated through the cheek, and there was a wound in the pallet. One tooth had been knocked out, the second tooth from the back on the upper jaw. There were remains of gun powder upon the face which had penetrated the skin. The wound was such as would be caused by a bullet. Witness discovered no ball, however. It was a matter of knowledge that bullets may get behind muscle and remain undisco vered. The prosecutor was doing well, and in all probability he might recover. His Loassitzr, in summing up, observed to the jury, that they would first hare to determine whether the prisoners had committed the acts alleged, and next, whether with any of the intents specified. His Lordship then went through the whole of the evidence, suggesting to the jury that they would have to decide whether the act of shooting were done with intent to murder, or with some other of the intents laid in the indictment. The jury deliberated for a minute or two, and found both the prisoners guilty of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm. _ _ The Learned JUDGZ, in passing sentence, told the prisoners that one of the charges upon which they had been tried was a charge which, if it had been established against them, would have caused them to be capitally convicted, and to lose their Eves. It was not easy to arrive at any other conclusion than that they were guilty on the capital charge; on the whole, however, his Lordship thought that the view taken by the jury was the right one. The prisoners would not lose their lives, but they would suffer a severe punishment for their offence ; and that punishment was, that they he severally transocrtod tbr fourteen years.

(From the Sizei;idd radepenci'e , a.) i We alluded, a short time ago, to the agreem e nt of emal gamation between this Company and the IManchester, Sheffield, and Midland, and we gave the substance of the statement of the fo rmer C ompany, i n w hi c h they-acnited the--= Manchester, Sheffield, and Michell(' of a gross' 4.ireich,ete• faith. So far as-w e h ave seen and heard, the statement yet ' remains unanswered. We now insert the petition of the Sheffield, Bakewell, and West Midland Company, in which they lay their complaint before Parliament, and pray that the Bill of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland may be rejected, or that they may be heard before the Committee in oppositioa.L— To the Honourable the Commons of the ITnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. The humble petition of the undersigned Provisional Di rectors of the proposed Sheffield, Bakewell, lied West Midland Railway Company, and on behalf of ouch Company, ' Sheweth,—That a Bill has been brought into your Ho nourable lionie, for making a railway, to be called the Man chester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction Railway, which Bill is entitled, "A Bill for making a Railway from Sheffield to Chesterfield and Bakewell, with a Branch in connexion there• with, to he called, " The Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction Railway."

That the measure proposed by your petitioners' Compaey, (the plans and sections whereof have been deposited in the Private Bill-office of your Honourable House, and with the Board of _Trade, Pursuant to the standing orders of your 'Ho nourable House), was and is a railway from Sheffield to Bakewell, with branches respectively to Chesterfield and to Castleton, a measure which is, in part, a competing line with that of the said proposed Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction Railway. That YoUr petitioners had made arrangements for the pro curing ;hire necessary capital for carrying into effect their sail undertaking as a separate and independent project, and were on the point of appropriating their shares for that pur pose, when certain overtures for an arrangement between the said two Companies were received by your petitioners from Wilson Overand, Esq., and others, as chairman and directors mid on behalf of the said proposed Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction Riilway Company. That certain negotiations took place thereupon betw een the committee of direction of the two Companies, with a view to such arrangement, and your petitioners were re quested by the promoters of the said pr o po se d M anc h ester , Sheffield, and Midland Junction Railway, not to appropriate or issue:lli - elf shares, during the pendency of such negotia tions, and your petitioners acceded to such request. That em'in the 7th day-of November last, an agreement was concluded and signed between certain of the provisional directors of and on behalf of the said Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction Railway Company, of the one part, and certain oft he-provisional directors of and on behalf of the said Sheilield e ßekewell, and West Midland Railway Com pany of the Other part, whereby it was (among other things) agreed between the said Companies: Ist.

That each Czonpany should proceed separately to give the requisite notices, and make the county and parish deposits of the plan of its own scheme as if to ground a sepa rate application to Parliament. 6th. That the expenses of both Companies then incurred. and to be incurred, should be paid out of the consolidated fund of the united Companies. 7th That the consolidated Board of Directors should pro ceed to Parliament for both projects in one Act, with such modifications in regard to those portions of the two schemes, which were common to both projects, viz., between Sheffield and Chesterfield, as should be determined on in the manner therein mentioned.

That the consolidation of the two Companies, by virtue of the above agreement, was announced by advertisement under the hands ofNbe'clairmen of both Companies, in the public newspapers pablished in Sheffield, in the said month or November last. That your petitioners and their Company have, on '...tteir part, fulfilled, and, in good faith, acted upon the sai, agree ment, and relying thereupon, did not issue their allotment letters or scrip, and have since taken no mec„ns to raise a separate capital, as was stipulated by such agreement. That your petitioners have called upon and required the said Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction Railway Company, and the, promoters thereof, on several occasions, to fulfil their part of the said agreement by calling in their pre sent scrip, in order to the issue of the proposed new capital, and by the preparation and signature of a new subscription contract, in order to embrace your petitioners' projected rail way, as well as their own, agreeably with the ninth clp. t me of the said agreement ; yet, notwithstanding their promises of compliance, they have hitherto failed, and now at length refuse to do so. That your petitioners are ready to verify the above allega tions when and as your lion curable House shall permit. That your petitioners humbly represent toyour Uonourable House, that their proposed railway, called the Sheffield, liakewell, and West Midland (so deposited in the Private Bill-office Of your Honourable House, as aforesaid), is a better, cheaper, and more comprehensive line, or scheme of railway communication, than the p ro p ose d M anc h ester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction line; affords accommoda tion to a greater extent of country, provides a more direct communication between the larger towns and the, important i , terests of the district, raid would be executed at infinitely less cost. That the lily:, proposed for the Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland, unction Railway, is not, moreover, the best line which the country admits of; that it cannot be executed for the sum at which it is estimated ; and that there is not a. traffic adequate to meet so great an expenditur e as th e ma ),_ ing of such a line would involve. That the following are some of the proposed work' s on t h e said line (as appears by the section thereof), oug h the total length thereof is but 2S miles : Tunnelling, nearly 6 miles.

The jury returned a verdict of " Accidet , tal Death." STRANGE SCARCITY OF RATS.—During the list few days fine frill-groan rats have been fetching the extraordinary high price of ninspence each, in consequence of the scarcity and consider able difficulty in procuring a sufficient quantity for the various rat matches which take place every week. It is a singular fact that rats are now much dearer than rabbits, and in one instance last week, where 200 rats were killed, the principal portion averaged teupence each. They are chiefly caught at the horse slaughter houses in St. George's-fields, Southwark.

DEATH 07 TWO NURSES IN WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL. —On Thursday one of the nurses of the hospital of Westminster, in York-street, expired in the new institution at the Broad Sanctuary. from fever caught while in attendance on another nurse, who is also deceased. • It appears that during last week, the latter, who had been attending to a patient sneaked with fever of a typhus character. was herself taken suddenly ill, apparently suffering from the same malady. Eyeryt fling was done for her by the niedical officers and the other nurse, but she ultimately expired. Her attendant was in the same way attacked, and, as above stated, yesterday expired from the same came. 4. " 1 IV J:laar u. enuutc...j. Ttit,INDIA HOUSE, MARCH 11, 1846.
