They were called - upon to believe that the defendant, a clergyman, had not only been guilty of the crime of adultery, but the,t corns ;ratted it with his own daughter, and that lie had not only been guilty of an incestuous intercou' .se with her after her marriage but also before it, area that he was so reckless in the gratification of Ws guilty passion that he had even continued the intercourse since this action had been brought ageeust him. He should contend that this charge was 'altOgether monstrous and improbable, and that it was impossible for the jury to believe that a seeing woman like Miss Wetherell, should leave her husband, and yield herself up to an incestnatts Intercourse with her father, under such odious and profligate circumstances. It might be said the.t the witnesses ha d sworn positively to certain facts w'nich ',eft no doubt of the guilt of the par ties ; but he ward remind the jury that they were not called upon, although witnesses might choose to swear positively to them, to believe circumstances which must be coosideeed revolting and impossible in the opinions of any man of discretion and judgment. They would re-sum-Aber that the question the jury now had to decide, v. as not whether the defendant had been extravagant, And had squandered away his daughter's fortune most improperly, or whether there bad been more freedom And affection exhibited by them than was usual between father and dau;hter, but what they had to say by their -verdict was, whether or not it was proved that there had been a criminal and incestuous intercourse between them, and whether that intercourse had been continued and repeated time after time under circumstances of the retest notorious profligacy, the daughter being a young married woman, and the defendant an old man in holy orders, and who was proved to have performed the sacred duties that devolved upon him during the whole period when this most odious connexion was alleged to have existed. He said there ceuld be no doubt from the evidence, that Mr. Cooke had run away with Miss Wetherell, under the impression that he should receive a fortune with her, and that he was bitterly disappointed in this respect ; but the jury should recollect that Mr. Wetherell was no party to tbis, for he had distinctly refused his daughter's hand to Mr. Cooke. When, how ever, the marriage had taken place, he expressed a readi ness to dispose of all the property at Byfield and Eaton place, and to settle the proceeds upon his daughter, so that it wa's clear that at this time he was anxious to do all in his power to make reparation for the injustice he had committed with regard to his daughter's property. Mr. Cooke, it appeared, was not satisfied with this, but had most improperly taken possession of the property in the house in Eaton place, and refused to admit the defendant to his oan house, and there was no doubt that from this time Mr. Wetherell entertained a repugnance for him and desired t.' keep him at arms length; and the jury must al7o f, el that besides the circumstances to which he had alluded, there must have been some other grave cause of com plaint of the conclucit of Mr. Co )ke. Cou'd they doubt that he was living in adultery with the person whose wine had been mentioned ? Lie did not mean to say that this was any reason why he should not obtein a verdict if he made out his case, but when they saw how active an agent the woman who had lived with him had been in getting up this case, and when they recollected how she had tampered with the witnes ,, es, he was sure the jury would feel that the evidence was open to very great suspicion. The woman he referred to most prob a bly was actuated by a strong desire to enable Mr. Cooke to get a divorce, in the expectation, per haps, that sh e sh ou ld, i n that case, become Mr. Cooke's wire, and she had taken every means in her power to get up the case against the defendant. Notwithstand ing this, however, it appeared to him that the only wit ness in the case, whose evidence really affected the de fendant, was Emma Williams, who stat d that the defendant and his daughter had slept in the same bed t Chepstow. Now he did not mean to impute perjury to this witness—he did not think he was justified in doing so—but he did contend most confidently that she was mistaken on that point. All the rest of her evi rlence might be perfectly true. The parties were at the hotel—they did stay two nights, but as to their sleeping in the same bed, there was no truth in it ; and she had probably only made that statement in consequence of the means that were taken to warp and bias her judg ment. The jury would not forget that she was speak ing to a circumstance that was represented to have occurred ten years before. There did not appear to have been any reason why she should take particular notice of it, and. he would ask the jury, as men of. the world, and men of common sense, whether it was likely that she could recollect what she states so positively? The jury would recollect what had occurred with re gard to the picture. If she really could identify Mr. Wetherell, why was the picture left in the manner de scribed. At the first trial, too, the witness denied that any picture had been shown to her. It was true that in point of fact no person did actually show her the picture, but it was left in the room for her to see, and the jury would consider whether her explanation of that contradiction was a satisfactory one. He should, how ever, show that this witness was incorrect in one or two particulars, and should likewise show by positive testimony, trlat she was completely mistaken with regard to the rooms occupied by Mr. Wetherell and his daughter. The learned Ser geant-then alluded to the circumstance of Mr. Cooke having induced the witnesses to make an affidavit of the truth of their original statements to him, and said that this was an additional proof that the witnesses had not been justly dealt with, and it showed there was no evi dence to pledge them to the statements they made, whether iu Court or not. Did the jury doubt that Mr. Cooke and Mrs. Baynton were the real attorneys in this cause, and that the evidence had been got up at the house in Seymour-place? His Learned Friend had stated that, before the production of Eleanor Williams as a witness; there had been a denial that Mr. Wetherell and big daughter had ever been at the Beaufort Arms, but this was not so. Sergeant SHEE—Show me any part of the former case where the fact wi:s admitted ? Sergeant CHIN N ELL proceeded—He remembered per fectly well stating that it was very likely they did go there in the course of their tour, and the report of his speech that appeared at the time confirmed what he now stated. The Learned Sergeant then proceeded to state that he should produce evidence that Mr. Wetherell met a highly respectable gentleman, Captain Hickman, in the course of that tour, and that he introduced himself and his daughter to him, and they afterwards were at the Beaufort Arms together ; and he should satisfy the jury by the clearest evidence, that Captain Hickman and family occupied the suite of rooms, which were repre sented to have been occupied by the defendant, and that the witness Williams was entirely mistaken in this matter. With regard to the evidence of the servants, as to the affection that appeared to exist between the defendant and his daughter, he submitted that it merely proved innocent fatherly affection, exhibited perhaps with a little more warmth than was usual with persons standing in that relation ship to each other, hut still offering no proof of the commission of such an awful crime as that imputed to the defendant. The Learned Ser geant then commcutcd upon a part of the case which cannot be more particularly alluded to, and said it was monstrous to suppose that if the tour in August was taken for the purpose which was attempted to be esta blished on the part of the plaintiff, that the guilty par ties would have brought back with them such conclusive evidence of their guilt. A number of witnesses had been called to depose to conversations, and other matters, re presented to have taken place between them and the de fendant and his daughter, and the jury would see that he was entirely in th© power of those persons, for they placed the occurrence when no person else was by, and neither Mr. Wetherell nor his daughter could be called to contradict them. As to the evi dence given by the servants, did the jury be lieve that if they really did see the abominable conduct they described, and were satisfied that the communication existed between the father and the daughter, they would have remained in the house, and been witnesses of it? And he would ask them whether it was not much more likely that they had put incorrect construc'ions upon most innocent faruiliarities? Was it proper to place reli ance upon the testimony of the lady's maid, who repre sented circumstances tending to show that a criminal connexion had taken place between the father and the daughter before the marriage, and yet she was the con fidante and active agent in procuring the marriage with Mr. Cooke. As to the name of Mills being announced, was it not perfectly clear that this was dune to avoid being accused ? but to clear up all ground of suspi cion on this point, he should show that Mr. Wetherell and his daughter traveled as father and daughter all through that, tour ; that that aas the rela tionship always represented to exist between them, and this being the case, it was idle to suppose that they in tended to gratify any unnatural passion for each other. The Learned Counsel in the course of his address com mented upon a variety of other facts in the can:. which can not be more directly alluded to, and concluded a very . able and eloq uent speech by expressing a confident opi. mon that when the jury had heard the 4vi , .lence he should lay before them, they would be perfectly satisfied that this foul charge was net made out against the defendant, and that they would return a verdict in his favour. The following evidence was then adduced for the de fendant:— The trial then proceeded for some time, when the Learned Judge again interposed. He thought it right to put it to the jury whether they had any doubts as to the defendant having consented to act as a provisional committeeman bets( re giving his written consent on the 15th November. The jury, after a brief consultation, said they were not satisfied that the defendant had agreed to act 113 a provisional committeeman before the 15th November. His. Lordship said there was then an end to the case, and the jury. without hesitation, returned a verdict for the defendant. NORTHERN ClRGUlT.—Carlisle, Aug. 6. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) William Thornburn, aged about 30, and apparently a poor man, was indicted for bigamy, committed at Gretna, on the Bth of November, 1845, by marrying Jane Jackson. Jane Little, the wife of Thomas Little, of Springfield, who was a blacksmith, and performed the ceremony of marriage, proved that she keeps a register of the marriages performed, and on the 6th of February; 1846, William Thornburn and Ann Sparks came to their house and said they were come to be married. Her husband asked them if they came of their own free will. They answered that they did. He then asked them if no person had a claim upon them, and they said no one had. He then asked the bridegroom if he was willing to take that woman for his lawful wife. He said he was. He asked the bride if she was willing to take that man for her lawful husband, and she said she would. He bid them join hands and declare each other man and wife. They joined hands and declared themselves man and wife in those words. She remembered them coming quite well. The prisoner was the man; she had no doubt of it. Cross-examined—gr. Linton, of Gretna-hall, and Simon Long, a weaver, also married people. They were sober at the time. She saw nothing but what was sober and decent. No doubt there was some fee paid, but she could not re member what. That was the way in which the ceremony was always performed by her husband, according to the law of Scotland. Re-examined—She saw the same woman before the ma gistrate on this charge being inquired into. Thomas Little t he man who performed the ceremony, was called, and corroborated his wife. On being asked to state what took place, be said, " they had a manner of their own they worked with." There was not much whisky; there might be a noggin or a pint. They might have a glass before the ceremony. He said he had repeated all that had passed, and he'd repeated nae mair. They said they were quite content and happy to be man and wife. They did not agree and they parted. He could not keep them together. He could marry them, but he could nae gar them li ve to gether. He said to them "You are man and wife for ever, before the witnesses here." Mary Sparks, the sister of Ann, said the prisoner and her sister left her father's to be married, and returned the day following, when the prisoner said they were married, and that they lived together six months as man and wife, and then left that part. Some time after her sister returned (having been recently confined) without the prisoner, whom she saw no more till in custody. Ile said they had been married by Little of Gretna. Jane Ja'clion, a poor servant g;rl, twenty-two years of age of Carden-mill, said she was married to the prisoner at Sark toll-bar, in Scotland, by John Murray. He asked if they were two single persons. They each said they were. He told them to take hold of hands, and they did so. (Nothing more could be got out of this witness as to the ceremony.) They had gone from her sister's at Carlisle to get married, and returned there. They lived together six months as man and wife. She bad nothing but her half-year's rages when they were married. The prisoner left her at the Whitsun tide hiring. Ile told her he was going to hire. She also is now hired. He swore on his oath both to her and her mother that she was married to him—that he never was married to womankind. She (lid not wish to punish him, but just to be clear of him. She was quite willing to part from him. John Murray, of Sark toll-bar, said the prisoner and a woman came to be married on the Sth November, 1545. He gave his name William Thornburn, and the woman that of Jane Jackson. His. brother and two other men were pre sent. They said they wished to get married, and witness answered they could if all was right. He then entered their names, &c., in a book, and told them to stand up, and then asked them if they were single persons. They said they were. Witness bid them join hands, and he asked the m an " if he took that wome n t o li ve together for better and for worse, so long as they were spared, before God and those wit nesses." He said he did. Witness then asked the woman the same, and she answered " Yes." P r i s o ner th en p u t th e ring on her finger, and witness said, " they had declared them selves before God and those witnesses man and wife;" and they said " they had." Then they and the witnesses signed the register-book. Prisoner said he could not write, and he made his mark.

In March last I received a certificete of the death of Richard blett, and gave an order for 11. 15s. to Wm. Whitley. Mr. TEMPLE then rose to address the jury for the pri soners, and, after a powerful opening, proceeded to examine the evidence that had been detailed. He commenced by adverting to the respectability of the prisoners' circum stances as furnishing the first reason why they should not commit such an offence as that; to the fact of arsenic being purchased, if it were purchased at all, without the slightest cancealtnent ; to the real name and address of the male pri soner being given, and witnesses in each case present; to the circumstances of . the female prisoner having taken the child to the surgeon on the first appearance of illness, and having drawn his attention to those very symptoms which it was allezed on behalf of the prosecution were indicative of the administration of poison ; to the testimony that these symptoms had been increased after the child had taken the medicine recommended by the surgeon, and which appeared, in consequence of some peculiarity of constitution, to have operated the very reverse of that for which it was intended ; to the fact of their neighbours having been sent for on the day of the child's death, and only in consequence of their remonstrances was the male prisoner induced not to send for the surgeon again immediately before its decease; to the fact that 5/., the sum obtained from the burial society, would be barely sufficient to cover the expenses of interment, while in cidental evidence had been given of the death of another child, where the sum of 11. ss. was all the money that could be obtained from the club; to the uncertainty that must al ways arise is casea. like this, where the case is a great mea sure must depend upon the deductions of scientific analysis; and to the probability (taking all the circumstances of the case into account) that the poison, if it really had been taken, was taken by the child, who was nearly five years of age, by a mistake of its own. These points the Learned Counsel illustrated with great force. Several witnesses were called, who gave the prisoners good characters for kindness and humanity. The JUDGE summed up with much ability. The jury retired for a short time, and on their return found a verdict of Not Guilty for both prisoners. The other charge of murder was then abandoned, and the third charge was proceeded with. It occupied the Court until ten o'clock in the evening, terminated in a verdict of Not Guilty, and completed the business of the circuit, BRISTOL COURT OF BANK RUPTCY. (Before Commissioner Mr. Sergeant STEVENSON.) RE WILLIAM HENRY SMITH, OF SWANSEA, PRINTER. This bankrupt, who is a barrister on the South Wales circuit, but against whom a fiat had issued as printer and proprietor of the Swansea Journal, was brought up in custody of a tipstaff of the Court of Queen's Bench to undergo his last examination. Mr. Phinn, of London, appeared to oppose his passing for Sir James Williams, cooper, and Co., Messrs. Spalding and Hodge, Mr. Moggridge, and Messrs. Tanner Brothers. Mr. Stone appeared for the bankrupt. The liabilities were stated at near 30,0001. The examination was lengthened, and involved many questions of account which could not be under stood but upon reference to his balance-sheet. 'lt appeared, from his answers, that some years since the bankrupt projected the Swansea water-works, of which undertaking he acted as architect, engineer, sec retary, director, and everything else up to the passing of the Act of Parliament, after which time he had associ ated with him sixty-five bonci fide shareholders. He called them bond fide, because they took their shares f a• better for worse. They were before the . Act nominal share holders, who subscribed upon the faith of his representa tions, and whom he felt bound in honour to bear harm less. He said he calculated that he had expended in the works near 80,0001. in cash, and, with liabilities, his loss had been 45,0001. Hs had not been possessed of large capital himself, and excepting about 6,000/., he had raised the money. His present interest in the works was the equity of redemption of one moiety, which he had mort gaged. The charges upon it amounted to about 12,5001., which bore interest at 5 per cent. He was not pressed upon for the interest, which, as it fell due, was added to evidence. ' - Mr. Alderman Ginns, after asking the prisoner to state how he b ,, came possessed of the notes, said he had gone over the whole of the case, and he was bound to say there did not appf ar sufficient wei 4 ,ht: in it to justify him in sending the prisoner for trial. "I shall, there fore, continued the Aldernian, " discharge him from custody." A cheer arose in the Court when the decision was known, which was immediately suppressed, and the pri soner, after ~ h aking hands with Forrester, and thanking him for his kindness whilst in custody, left the office. The justice-room was crowded during the examination. THAMES. On Saturday two labourers in the London Dock, named William Reed and Thomas Cundick. were charged before Mr. Ballantine with being participators in an ingenious 83 stem of plunder by means of f , rged orders, with a man named Whitford, who was committed for trial from thi: court on Thursday week. Mr. Humphreys, who appeared to prosecute for the Dock Company, as on the last oceasion, said that rob beries to a great extent, though in the individual in stances not to a large amount, ha! been going on at the London Docks for sometime past, and it was the determi nation of the Company to spare no pains for the conviction of the depredators. The goods abstracted consisted principally of what are called gummy bags and old rope, used in the manufacture of coarse paper, and the frauds were effected by means of forged orders in the following manner:—The gummy bags were made up into bales, so as to resemble cotton pickings, and orders purporting to come from the parties to whom the cottons were assigned being forwarded to the proper authorities, passes were signed, by which means the bales were allowed to pass out at the gate. some purchaser having previously been procured, to whom they were instantly transmitted. At the request of Mr. Humphreys, who said he should have some trouble in collecting and arranging the evi dence, the case was adjourned until Fri lay next. SOUTH TVARK. On Saturday, just as Mr. Cottinghatn was about to quit the bench, Mr. Thomas Cooper. a tall, fashionably dressed gentleman, with large moustacbioF, was placed at the bar, charged with assaulting an Italian lad, named Antonio Sylon, also with destroying a quantity of plaster of Paris which the lad was carrying. Complainant, in broken English, said that he was crossing Webber-street, Blacicfriars-road, about two o'clock that. afternoon, with two bags of plaster of Paris on his shoulders. Just as he had reached the corner near the coffee-house, he was knocked clown, and all the plaster of Paris was stresed over the ground. While he was lying down he was again struck by the defendant, Mr. Martin, a tradesman residing in the neighbour hood, said, that he witnessed the whole transaction. He considered that the poor foreigner had been cruelly ill-treated. He positively swore that the defendant struck the lad several times, after which he went with his friends into a public•house in Webber-street, called the Coburg Arms, when the defendant offered the lad 10s. compensation. He (witness), however, advised him not to receive it, but give the defendant into custody. Police-constable 100 L division, said, that when he arrived the poor lad was crying. All his plaster was completely destroyed. Mr. CoTTlNonaar, to the defendant—l perceive, sir, that you arc an artist of some ce!ebrity. Pray, what answer have you to make to the charge ? DL?:endar , t I are an artist belonging ti the Royal Academy, and had been drinking with a few friends, when the complainant intercepted me while crossing the road. I had no inten tion of hurting the lad, and merely pushed him down for a lark. Ho had offered him compensation, and would now pay anything in reason for the mischief he had done. the principal charge. He WAS entitled to redeem the property till 1851. The last year's entire income from the works was 1,1001., out of which there were 2001. expenses. THE " POET'S COMPLAIN T."-A one eyed elderly son of Apollo, with a remarkably wide mouth, who de scribes himself as Michael Rough, schoolmaster, poet, and martyr, of Maryleboue," ascended the rostrum with great deliberation, placed a heap of papers on the desk before him, saddled his nose with a pair of spectacles, and then proceeded to call the attention of the bench to his case, which, he said, included the offences of " con ,p:racy, persecution, and attempt to murder himself and Mrs. Rough." Mr. Itannwicx, the sitting magistrate, told him to go on. The complainant selected a closely-written sheet of foolicap from his bundle, and in a sonorous and mellifluous :Milesian brogue pr , ceeded to read with a sort of running comment. " ()n Monday morning, at rix P.m., being sick and wake, I get up to help me wife in the big wash. Ah, yer wurtchip, it would do your heart good to see me wife at the tub. At nine precisely (looking at the paper) ; no, at ten minutes past, I hung out the clothes on the Is :ds, when Mrs. Morley. me landlady, wid the voice of a Stentor, flourished a hammer and swore she would have 'em all down. ' Grant me loan of five minutes,' says and I'll have the clothes in.' She said she would not stay, and the row she made brought all the neighbours about; but if there had been a hundred, I could have satisfied them wid the truth of me eloquence and the innocence of me cause." Mr. HARDWICK—GA on with your complaint. Complainant—Seeing the slaughter of me wife and meself about to begin, I called out, "Oh gintlemen, I'm ,ick; I'm under the doctor's hand." Wake, fable, and faint as I was, I knocked down a black man of gigantic proportions, and me wife got none the worst of the scri rnmage. Mr. IlanDwicx--,Let me know what the woman has done to you. Complainant—She conspires against me, and she per secutes me all she can. The attacka on me wife will shorten me life, and filase ter wurtehip, they goes brag ging about that Rough arid his wife can't get justice from the magistrate. The defendant said she ought to make the complaint. Two , more troublesome lodgers than Rough and his wife no landlady was ever before troubled with. The leads were a taboo.) spot to the lodgers, They had no right to hangout wet clothes there, and it was while protest ing against this breach of her domestic laws, that Mrs. Rough had nearly pitched her forty feet down the str, et. Complainant—Me karaeter will bear inspection. I've letters from the Duke of Wellington and a hundred of the nobility and gentry. I only wiA anybody was here that knows me, to spake to me karacter. Horsford, the Mendicity Society's officer, who hap pened to be in Court, very much to the annoyance of the complainant, volunteered his services. Mr. HAttpwtcx—Do you know anything of this man ? Horsfbrd—l've known him for years as a begging letter writer. He's a regular impostor. Complainant (bristling up)—An impostor ! What. spake that way of a schoolmaster—spike of Michael Rough, the poet, that way ! Spire of me that way,who has written seventeen reams of ,manuscript about national inventions and saving life and property from fire, ship wreck, and lightning, by moral manes —me, Mike Rough, that has written no end of poetry—here, your wurtchip (pulling out a well-thumbed pamphlet), redo you my last new poem. Mr. l - lannwrcx—NO, thank you. Complainant—l'll bind Horsford down to what he says. He's at the head of a conspiracy against me. Mr. HARDWICK declined to hear anything further. The landlady wanted to get rid of her lodger, and the lodgers said they wanted to leave. The best way to end their dispute was by parting, and this he should recom mend to take place fortwith. The complainant pocketed his papers, leaving his poem for the perusal of the magistrate. It was entitled " Eddystone • Lighthouse ; a moral poem, by Michael Rough, late schoolmaster of Caliir," and it appeared to Le , a curiosity of its kind. A preliminary note informed the reader that " to relish the beauties of the poem, the reader should be at the top of Eddystone Light house in a hurricane," commencing with this windy in vocation— Miss George, who keeps the Beaufort Arms, Chepstow, proved the position of the two rooms, Nos. 13 and 17, in which the defendant and his daughter slept whilst at the hotel, and that two beds were charged for in her bill.

Mrs. Bradshaw, the dressmaker tor Mi ss Wetherell wa3 then called to contradict the evidence of the witness Fussell, relative to her having received directions to alter some of Miss Wetherell's dresses about the period when the miscarriage was supposed to have taken place. This closed the ease for the defendant. The Learned JUDGE summed up, and at nine o'clock the jury retired. Shortly before eleven they expressed a desire to see his Lordship, and they were accordingly escorted to his lodgings. The jury then said there w a s not the least chance of their agreeing to a verdict, and begged that they r&ght be discharged. CnAMBERS ob;ected to this course en the ground of ;he immense expense it would be to the parties. The jury eventually retired to a private room, where they deliberated for nearly an hoar, when they again desired to see his Lordship, and then repeated the statement I that there was no chance of their agreeing; and it was eventually twanged, After wino conversation, tuid with The greatest commiseration is expressed for the prisoner's mother, who is a very respectable woman. She had two children only. the pris , .ner and a daughter; the latter, who was a very fine young woman, poisoned herself a few years since. Cave's age is about 46, that of his victim 40. Mr. COTTINGHAM said he was surprised to see such a gentleman in so disgraceful a situation. He did not, after hearing all the evidence, think he intended to in jure the lad, therefore he should allow him to retire with the complainant, and settle the matter without his in terference. The parties then withdrew, and in a few minutes after wards the complainant entered the Court; and said he was perfectly satisfied with the gentleman's generosity.

Eliza Bazves, a showily-dressed young woman, was brought up in custody by Sergeant Pocock, F division, before Mr. Socket., charged with stealing 1501 from Captain Wylie, of No. 52, Stamford-street, Black friars-road. The complainant stated that he recently returned from abroad, and being desirous of settling in this country, he purchased the lease of a house in Stamford street, in which he intended to take up his residence, abon take t charge tnree ani for this purpose furnished it throu g ho u t. B e i ng a o f bachelor,th edomestic h he required d utip a s r o e f sp t e h c e tab h l o e u f s e e n:le an dto about months ago he met with the prisoner, who was strongly recommended as a person well qualified to per erm the duties of housekeeper, and he engaged her accordingly. Ile hail no fault to find against her conduct up to last Thursday, on the afternoon of which day he had occasion to leave home, and in his hurry forgot his bunch of keys, leaving them in the lock of a chest which he kept under his bedstead in the back parlour, and in which was a cigar case containing a 100/. Bank of. England note, besides loose cash to the amount of 50/. more. When he returned hom e i n about two h ours afterwards- h e was informed by the housemaid that the prisoner had left the house in a cab about an hour previously, saying she had business i n the City, and that she should return in time for tea. Upon being made acquainted with the above circum stance, he proceeded to his - bed-chamber, found th e chest already mentioned open, the key being left in the lock, and on examination discovered that the 1001 Bank of England note, together with all the loose cash, w ere taken, but none of the other property the chest con tained was touched. Suspicion was at once excited against the prisoner, who was known to have been in his chamber up to the moment she left the house in the afternoon in question, and those suspicions were strengthened from the fact of her not returning hom e at the time she mentioned. The captain added that he did not know the number of the 1001. Bank of England note, that he had only received it a few days previously from Mr. Bowen, his broker, of Bink-chambers, who, by his directions, had sold out 4001. in the Three .. per Cent. Stock, and who would probably .be enabler! to piocure him the number, as it was from hap he received it. He added that he did not want to punish the young woman if she made a disclosure of her crime, and re signed possession of the money left; that he had since ascertained she had proceeded on a count r y excursion on quitting his house; but that she returned to town, and had taken up her abode at a house of an improper de scription, in the vicinity of the theatres. The prisoner, wh o h e ld h e r handkerchief up to her face, and was weeping d u ring the time occupied by the captain in makin g th e c h arge , now exclaimed that she wasinnocent of the offence ; that the captain, by his persuasions end vneises to rittrry her, i , lll!cpri h er to b,ethuie an inmate ci ill 6 house ; fnt3, on :idlingl :idling his intentions were not likely to be fulfilled, she quitted the house abruptly, she confessed, but the very night before he told her to go, and said be should give her 144 Cross-examined—Witness is a mason by trade. He per forms a great number of marriages. At Whitsuntide (when this took place) he did not know how many; something less than half-a-hundred in a day. Mary Jackson examined—She and her husband, and the prisoner and Jane, were married at the same time; they went together for that purpose. Wm. Carruthers examined—He is a writer in Scotland, which corresponds to an attorney in England. The ceremony described by the witnesses, he said, constituted a valid legal marriage in Scotland. Cross-examined—The parties ought to be in proper posses sion of their faculties. The bankrupt was next asked whether he had not paid commissions to the high-sheriff or under-shrriff of a county, which was named, in consideration of their for bearing from arresting him ? He positively denied that such was the case, but admitted that upon one occa,ion he paid 5/. to a sheriff's officer for that purpose. He had never paid anything to the under-sheriff beyond sums borrowed from him, or liabilities incurred on his (bank rupt's) account. Nothing beyond what he was bound in law_and honour to pay.

He said he had not gamed to any ex tent for twenty-five years, and for the last eighteen months ho had not played at all. He admitted that out of the last-named term he had been in custody for twelve months, and also that within the last four or five years he had been two or three times at a hell in St. James's-street, with friends from his club. He played two or three times, but only for small sums. Was a member of the Wyndham Club. Had been once at a house in Albemarle-street. Did not lose a shilling there. Blight have won 201. or 251.

On that night he went to bed at ten o'clock, and witness and his family went to bed at eleven. A little after two o'clock his wife awoke him. He listened, and heard a noise, as of an attempt to open a lock. He got up and went two or three steps down stairs, and then saw a light in the passage. He had made a creaking noise in moving, and the light was put out immediately. Witness asked who was there, but received no answer. He then asked his wife for a light and she brought one, and he went down stairs and saw the prisoner s'anding in the passage, near the bar-door. Witnesa asked him what he did there? He said he wanted a convenience. Witness asked him why he did not answer when he called out? The prisoner an swered that he could not. Witness then asked why he put out the light, bat he made no answer. Witness "told him something was not right, and he went dawn stairs, and looking where the prisoner had been standing, he found two screwdrivers, some skeleton keys, a piece of wax candle, sonic. Inciter matches, and a hag containing other skeleton keys. He called in the police, and then searched all over the, house to see if any stranger was about the house, but they found no one. The bar-door WAS open. On turning over a mat there they found more matches, and there were marks on the money-drawer in the bar, which showed an attempt had been made to force it open.

The Rev. W. Harriss was called to the chair. From the statements made, it appeared that the Lord Mayor expres , ed it AS MS o pinion, that no symptoms of cholera had manifested tieh t : h pt e rhe m. e. them selves, and that in the course of the interview, Mr. Alderman Gibbs, who was in compony with his Lordshi p , understood that a complaint, known as Plumb sai d C oi veiled to a very great extent. It furtEer transpired that in the course of the interview Mr. C.

ACCIDENT ON THE BRIGHTON AND HASTINGS BAIL WAY.—On Wednesday afternoon, as the two o'clock train from Brighton to Hastings was on its way, and when about a mile from the Polegate station (the line being at that part in a cutting), the engine and tender ran off the rails, drawing after them a third and first-class carriage. The passengers were greatly alarmed, but, fortunately, no one was seriously injured. Mr. Clement, of Hastings, sustained a slight con tusion on the mouth, and a porter of the company had his knee slightly hurt, but beyond this no one was injured. Tie train was detained two hours before the engine and carriages could be again placed on the link: It then proceeded to its destination. With tidy exception the traffic was not inter rupted. The accident was caused by the sinking of the line at that spot, in consequence of the late rains. This ha., since been repaired. Mr. Phinn addressed his honour at considerable length, in opposition to the bankrupt's passing, contend ing that his accounts were unsatis'actory in many par ticulars, and that they were not carried back far enough. The bankrupt had, after a long series of transactions, incurring liabilities to an immense amount, commenced a trading; and then he attempted to get released from all his debts, only furnishing accounts of his trading. If this were allowed, it would be impossible, by any extent of vigilance on the part of the assignee, to guard the interests of the creditors, as, for all which the assignees could know, he might have in his pocket all the proceeds of his earlier large transactions. Mr. Stone, in reply to this, said the bankrupt had given the best acc ount h e could. If there were any par ticular points which required further elucidation, the bankrupt was present and could be examined ; or, as had been done in former cases, the Court could pass his ex amination, and require him, before he came up for his certificate, to furnish some explanatory accounts. Mr. Stone contended thas the opposition had been in tigated by the opposing creditor, Mr. Williams A. Wearing, and it was intended to keep the bankrupt in prison, where be had already been for a wh , le. der. As to the bank rupt giA.ting up oi-der to a. 1:1V t.',l 4ga:ion, he begged to remind his Honour that Mr. Snitch first petitioned as an insolvent, a course which would always ' have left his property liable for his debts.

SIiNDERLAND, TUZSDAY NIGHT, TWIILVE O'CLOCK.—The inhabitants of this town have been this evening thrown into a state of great and general excitement, by an affray of a sudden and unexpected character between a policeman named Holmes, No. 21, and three soldiers of the 69:h Regi ment, the depot of which is stationed in the barracks here. In the present excited state of the people, and the exaggera tions that are current on the origin and extent of the con flict, it is difficult to come at the truth, but after a patient inquiry the fullowing brief narrative will comprise the grin ' cipal facts. It appears that about eight o'clock this evening three soldiers of the 69th in the barracks here were proceed; ing along the High-street, and under the influence of liquor, but not in a state of drunkenness to render them incapable. On reaching the arcade at the foot of the market one of the soldiers pushed a person from the pavement, who was stand ing in conversation with two or three others, and the insulted person remonstrated with the soldier on his rudeness. He was instantly struck on the head by the soldier, and policeman Holmes seeing the assault, and also that the soldiers were rather tipsy, walked up to the party in altercation, and re commended the soldiers to go to the barracks. On the police man's interference the soldiers became very violent, and one of them struck him on the head with a walking-cane, on which the officer seized him, and was immediately set upon by the other two, one of whom had a heavy walking-stick, and in flicted on poor Holmes several merciless blowi, but he still retained hold of the soldier he first seized, and though the scuffle was general he resisted his assailants with great courage and success. In attempting to get his truncheon from his pocket, the policeman was overpowered and fell on the pavement, when the three soldiers punished him very severely in different parts of his body with their feet and military belts, which they had unloosed from their shoulders. By this time the alarm had spread through the populous lanes in the neighbourhood, and the people rushed into the streets by hundreds, and by encouraging the soldiers a general conflict took place, and blows were levelled in all directions; it was, in short, a general riot. The greatest alarm pre vailed in the streets, and cries of " murder ' quickly re sounded through the main thoroughfares. In the mean ' time Holmes, the policeman , was r endered senseless from the blows he had received on the head, and blood was streaming from his wounds, when be was dragged into Mr. I Nesbitt's public- house by some of the crowd who bad the courage to attempt his rescue, which was accomplished at considerable risk, as the mob were all against the police • man, under the impression that he was the aggressor. The High -street was now densely filled with the excited inhabit ants of the lanes, who congregated from all parts of the locality. The news of the conflict quickly spread over the town, and several policemen hastened to the spot, when the three soldiers and others of their comrades who bad reached the scene of the riot, made their escape to the barracks and other places of shelter. Immediately on the alarming outrage being known at the barracks, the commanding officer, Cap tain Paxton, dispatched a picket with fixed bayonets, to proceed through the streets, and to bring all the soldiers into quarters, and by vigorous measures on the part of Captain Paxton, who was quickly on the spot, peace and confidence were restored, though at one time the matter appeared likely to be the occasion of much mischief and bloodshed. The in habitants of the immediate neighbourhood were in a state of great alarm ; and for some time it was generally understood that policeman Holmes was in a dying state, which greatly increased the excitement, which was prolonged till near mid night, and the streets were crowded by hundreds of persons in all directions from the Bridge Hotel eastwards, as far down as Church-street. The picket were very success:ul in cleAring the streets of the Military, and the three soldiers got safely to the barracks. So violent were they when assailing Holmes that one of them was seen to seize him on the back with his teeth, by which his coat was torn up the WWI, The wounded police usia was prswpay
