THE DEATH OF THO.IIAS _MOORE. (From the Chronicle.) An event which has loue been anticipated has just cccuered. O Thursday leat the poet Moore died at his residence of Sloperton Cottage, near Devizes. For Be ve:al years hack the iiittsnioue deceased has. been alive only in the body. Like Sir Walter Scott and Southey, the tenacity of physical existence had, in him, outlived the term of the mind. A year ago the poet was brought to Bath without any consciousness of where) he was, or who ware around him, and he passecl peacefully away in the same condition of semi-slumbering unconsciousness. With Moore there is snapped the last tie, save perhaps one, repre:,ented by the veteran Rogers, which connects the present generation with the outburst of " all the talents" which signalissd the opening of the cen tury. That great kindling of genius—embracing al meet all sides of imaginative literature, of criticism and philosophy—is fast becoming more a thing of his tory than a thing of fact. Day by day, and year by year, the lights are going out. Wordsworth was the last extinguished before the present event; and now, to all intents and purposes, the great mental galaxy wbich poured out such a flood of blazing, vivifying light upon the literature of fifty years ago— which ex tinguished the school of Rosa Matilda fiction and Della Crusean poetry—which substituted true criti cism fur technical carping upon philological points, and established new styles in every branch of the belles lettres —this great intellectual constellation may now be said to have disappeared. One of the brightest, if nut of the largest stars, has long been obscured. I. is now extinguisb ed. Whoa amount and what duration of fame Moore will leave behind him is fairly a matter of discussion. II cannot, we believe, be denied that much of his serious and more ambitious verse, founded upon the promptings of a more luscious and florid fancy than the present taste inclines to admit—and no inconsiderable portion even of his sweet lyric snatches, as being too wire-drawn, and refined to attenuation—are by no means so much read or admired as they were a score or thirty years ago. A severer and a sterner school of poetry has suc ceeded to it—one of deeper feeling and more sober thought; and the representatives of those who revelled in " Leila Rookh," and delighted in the strains of Mr. Little, now generally address themselves to more staid and philosophic poetic musings. The " Irish Melodies," too—exquisite as is their word-music—fanciful as is their conception—delightful as is their playfulness— and profoundly touching as is their pathos—even the " Irish Melodies" we believe to be declining in popular estimation. The reasons are not tar to seek. In the first place, the "Irish Melodies" are not psricularly Irish; they have perfect grace, high and sparkling fancy, deli cious feeling—but they are too fine , span to do the work a-day duty of popular songs. Ac literary performances, nine-tenths of Burns's songs are interior to Moore'e; and all Dibdia'a ditties are immeasurably and incal culably beneath them. Yet the strong probability is that " Ween Willie brewed," and "Poor Tom Bowling," will be in the fail tide of their popularity and everyday use, where " Rich and rare," and " Oh, breathe not his name," will be uesung and forgetten. In a certain circle, and amongst people of a certain rcadirg and appreciation, Mecro will live as long as tho lan guage; but his genius was delicate and acute rather than catholic and vast. Ho had a rich and vivid ploy of fancy, but none of the soaring imagination of a Shelley or a Byron. His mind, in fact, w. s a first-ciess second rate. It had no pretensions to stand in the ferernest line of the giants of ear day. Brigntles fanciful, rather than continuously imaginative—teeming with poetic imagery-e-loving to sparkle along the &eeriest paths, and beneath tho balmiest skies—revelling always in fays and flowers—in love and mingled intellectual and sensual pleasures—playful in the extreme,' and always reedy to stop to make mirth as joyous and as delightful as the passion—Moore's muse, in his great romantic poems, is the incarnation of a charming Epicureanism. And the mirth and playful jollity could go a long step further, Moore had wit, which sparkled as brightly as it could cut deeply; and the humour, and sense of the ludic rous, which could be as well if not more effec tually applied to living persons and actual things than to the creations of his own fancy; and, accord ingly, we find him loving to turn from the etherealized voluptuousness of the "Loves of the An gels," or the mystic imaginings of the " Epicurean," to the sharp and brilliant hitting of political and social squibs—to the restless and biting satire with which, in the " Fudge Family" and hundreds of ephemeral but not the less clever lays, he quizzed his political and literary opponents, abolished the Earl of Mountcashell, or shut stinging shafts of fez through the very hearts of the Benthemites. It is, indeed, far from probable that Moore' political and satiric poetry, little, perhaps, as he thought of it at the time, will live after his more ambitious works have been—not forgotten— but sunk into that chronic state of classicism, in which books are labelled with an excellent character—and shelved—turned,' in fact, into the category of works without which no gentleman's library is complete, and accordingly doomed, not to actual obscurity, but to an honourable retirement. The very last of the political squibs and short poems published bytnin Moore were given to the world in the columns of the Morning Chronicle, and referred princi pally to the earlier struggles of the Anti-Corn-law League, the verses having in most cases been evidently suggested by the passing political events of the day. Thomas Moore died at the ripe old age of 72. He was born on the 28th of May, 1780, in Angier-street Dublin, where his father, a strict Roman Catholic, car ried on a grocery and spirit business. As a child, young Moore is said to have been remarkable for personal beauty, but his appearance in after life hardly carried out the promise of infancy. He was short, with a heavy, expressive, but not handsome face, which, how ever, lightened up wonderfully when engaged in animated conversation or singing his own ballad poetry. Young Moore was educated at Dublin, and one of his first noted peculiarities was a fondness and a talent for pri vate theatricals. Taking advantage of the boor, as it was then considered, the young Roman Catholic was en tered at Trinity College. He could not, of course, ob tain a degree, but some English \Torus tendered at an examination, in lieu of the usual Latin composition, pro cured a cony of the " Travels of Anachartis" as a re ward. The wild times of the Irish rebelli in were now approaching, and the future poet was naturally to be found in the ranke led by the Eaantetts and Arthur O'Connor; but his treaeonable lacribratiens in prose and verse, though, as his own siealr remarked, "rather strong," were passed over ii-ithout any measures being taken ageinn the enthuit• - tr,t , c ycaing champion of Irish t.t pr . ,: by ne means the only subject of Ine e at the age of 14 ho published poetry in a Dublin magazine, and afterwards comvsed many s me-poetic semi-burletque pieces for private re prese at ion. In his twentieth year, giving no Republicanism oriel and for ever, More came to Landon to study . at the Mieole Temple. and to putArsd has tfa"la tions, or rather peraphrase a of Anacreon. As may be imagines, he noteLded much mitre strenuously to the G . reek than to " Coke upon Inttieton," and a pertnn €tr. obtained t h roug h th e t rie nti a hip of Lord Moria, to dedicate the work to the Prince Regent, was the means of lltiore's introduction to those elevated circles of so ciety in which shine. The . he was ever afterwards to move and Anacreontic paraphrases, brilliantly and warmly eepres _ d . se , were highly successful. They were speedily Thomas Succeeded,Little' in 1801, by 'Poems and Sengs, by by the present. Whatever objecions may be raised can be no cicub ' e c in f eration to either of these .works, there even vivid play of fancy, their great grace of idea,their when that idea was not strictly proper, and Moore's' translation s i lci ,l isite melody of versification. the " Old Greek Lover," of " Women and 'Wi ne ,. aprobably the finest and richest , versions of these often transleted songs in the English language — always the rough but thoroug hly racy version of t h e le feet g the lyrics in ques tion by quaint cid Dr. Donne. ir e In the day s of the Regency, p„ts in for patron age, and M r.

The affair was u l t i mate l y ma de up, m ainly through the intervention of Mr. Rogers, and at hi s house Moore sh o rtly afterwards m a d e hi s first acquaintance with Byron and Campbell. The long and affectionate inti macy between the subject of this sketch and the author of " Childe Harold," which resulted from the meeting , we need not here stop to do more than allude to. Moore had about this time married. Hi; wife was Miss Dyke, a lady of strung sense and character, as well as great beauty and amiability, The last survivor of their offspring is unhappily no more. A couple of political satires of no great note—one of them, by the way, setting forth a sober and earnest panegyric upon ignorance—were followed by the famous Two-penny Post Bag," a bundle of rollicking satire and fun. It made a great bit, and attained a wide p)- uularity. Not so its anther's next venture, a farce called the " Blue Stocking," damned at the Lyceum. ?doore'e intimacy with Byron and Hunt was broken off by the perfect out-spoken tone of the "Liberal,. and thslecially a Vision of Judgment." Moore thought his frh d rends a gone too far. What would Carlton ? t dearly as said: "Little Tommy dearly For t; Byron s he worship a lord," with how much morn' affection did a t ' he blood rt The, re ei ,"' ' his wise" were M oore ' s ne xt, and perhaps mast popular, • ; iselTies. effort. %dee mina 6,3 these word iltastrationa, ane,ixquisitt-ly happy in their ideas nod usanship, we a,mi,pertfct:on as is their lyrical work they have se e in ' te f;eeat our doubts as to wh Aber rooted earnestness, no t..otda i s:araina and the h, ao songs immortal. of which urn requisi , e to mrike as in fl h, and on l y the beauty fades in words as well Beat brain produce offspei s en t.r()ngsst heart and the man all time. to suit all t as t es an d to List It was in 1812 that Moore the Indian poem.

The successn waretirementCallie immense ; the rem ran rapidly through several ern • ame stood 'tams, and upon a higher and surer Moore's ever. The bright fancy and =miense pedestal than cemmand of imagery of the poet were now at their climax. The tales were the triumph of poetic lusciousness, but not a few old judges st4.,rmatiz-d their taste by preferring Fsdladeea and his criticisms even to the Fire worshippers or the tribulations of the Peri. We n. end hardly say that the judgment of these tough old critics has now a far greater number of adherents than it once commanded. After a continental tour, Moore wrote the clever and popular " Fudge Family." In the following year he met Byron in Italy, when the latter entrusted to him his me moirs for publication. These memoirs Moore sold to Murray for two thousand guineas, but, as is well known and a good deal regretted, the purchase-money was re funded, the papers re-obtained, and destroyed. Pecuniary difficulties connected with the misconduct of his Ber muda deputy about this time compelled Moore to seek a temporary refuge in Paris, and there the poet led a pleasant social life, such as he loved, and composed the "Loves of the Angels," which is not much more than an elaborate and carefully wrought out repetition of all Mr. Moore's previous love and flowery poetry. The whole thing is dreamy, lulling, beautiful, but vague and misty. The words tinkle like falling foun tains and the essence of the closing poetry floats about one like perfume; but this enervating species of com position is far from being high or true poetry, and ac cordingly the poem is now far oftener alluded to than it is read. In 1825 Moore paid a visit to Scott, at Abbotsford. The author of " Waverley" pronounced the Irish melodist to be the " prettiest warbler" he had ever heard. One evening Scott and his guest visited the theatre at Edinburgh. Soon after their at first un marked entrance, the attention of the audience, which had till then been engrossed by the Duchess of St. Albans, who was present, was directed towards the new comers; and according to a newspaper report, copied and published by Mr. Moore in one of his last prefaces, considerable excitement immediately prevailed. "Eh I" exclaimed a man in the pit, " eh, t'on's Sir Walter wi' Lockhart and his wife; and wha's the wee body wi' the pawkie ee? Wow, but it's Tam Moore just." " Scott, Scott l--Moore, Moore 1" immediately resounded through the house. Scott would not rise; Moore did, and bowed several times with his hand on his heart. Scott after wards acknowledged the plaudits of his countrymen, and the orchestra during the rest of the evening played alter nately Scotch and Irish airs. Soon after this period Moore was established, by the kind offices of his old and staunch friend the Marquis of Lansdowne, in Sloperton Cottage, where he passed the remainder of his days, and where he ended them. It was here that the poet commenced his career as a bio grapher, and produced successfully the memors of Lord Edward Eitzgerald, of Lord Byron, and of Sheridan. The two latter are too well known and too highly ap preciated to demand more than to be alluded to here. le was in the previous year that the poet had first come out as a prose writer in the " Memoirs of Captain Rock," a bitter and unfair account of—or rather elementary on—English misgovernment of Ireland, and a curious instance of how warped end twisted become the views of even a man of the world like Moore, if he be an Irishman, in writing on an Irish subject. The next serious work of the poet— be continued his squibs and light sparkles of occasional verse, as before—was " The Travels of an Irish Gentle man in search of a Religion"—in which he sought to scow that the doctrines and practicea of the Roman Ca tholic Church date from the epostolic period. The las of Moore's prose works, and that which has attained a rester sale. we believe, than any of them was the ro mence of " The Epicurean." Here Moore's style, al ways too rich, effi 'reseed into clouds of tawdry rhetoric, which see only here and there redeemed by passages of great eloquence and natural feeling. There was much out-of-the-way learning in the book, but the pompous march of cumbrous ornamentation sveilaid everything. Tne book had a great success. tout one not likely to be lasting. It parimok of what Mr. Carlyle calls the " wind-bag " nature. The wind inside was very highly perfumed, and sighed with very pleasing murmurs, but, after all, it was only wind, and, as such, will ooze out and away, to the collapsing of the bag and the disappearance of the " Epicurean." Of late years the political and social squibs to which we have alluded were the only literary occupations to which Mr. Moore devoted himself, until, gradually and fitfully, mental darkness came down upon him, and the quick and fanciful brain throbbed with thick-coming fancies no more. Peace be with the poet! Ile led a long, a pleasant, and a prosperous life. His poetic genius was not of the deep, enthusiastic cast. He could write w aili n g st a nzas over the fate of Curran's daughter on Treasury paper, and became sentimental over the wrongs of Ireland while an English placeman. Universally courted and flattered in society, Moore fluttered from one brilliant coterie to the other, and was always in his most perfect element at the two great Whig resorts—in Berkeley ,tquare and Kensington-park. In every one of his cha racteristics the poet was formed for society. A lover of pleasure, with a keen appreciation of its every refine ment, intellectual, social, and sensuous, Moore must have enjoyed to the very top of his bent every gra tification which the greatest popularity in the most brilliant circles could heap on him. His nature was to enjoy, to amuse, to excite, and to be amused and to be excited. Successful in almost every literary effort, accounted as brilliant a conversationalist as he was a poet, as charming a singer as he was a song writer—a privileged person in a sphere to which his mind, by its very nature, looked up with longing for notice and for praise—few men have had a career so correspond ing with their wishes and their ambition as Thomas Moore. The death of the poet coming so shortly after the setting of the public life of his good and constant friend the Marquis of Lansdowne, is a curious and touch ing coincidence. The ex-Minister will lament the de pirture of him who was so long the lyrist and the minstrel of his party; but to Moore the world was for years uncared for and unknown, and it is better that the spirit is released than that it should linger on in the midst of melancholy and hopeless darkness. THE 5T.114, THE CIt . vSTAL PAL4CE. This building, the fate of which has been the sub ject of so much speculation, has, after a long inter regnum, been partially made accessible to the public in rather a singular way. It will be remembered ; h xt a Lam-. portion 'if the interior fittings was sup plied by Messrs. Fox and Henderson, the contrsc ee s. 'Deese fittings are now on sale by public auc tion, and, as it is necessary to admit purchasers, the price of a catalogue, which is 6d., secures the entrée. Where curiosity is excited people are not slow to avail themselves of an opportunity, and the sale of catalogu-s, which on the first day amounted to 200, now, after the interval of a week, reaches 1,500. Business men attend in sufficient numbers, and the details of the auction -mart are animated to a degree; so much so, indeed, that the first lot brought a price. about twice its original value, and throughout the purchases effected have been more or less affected by the associations of the spot. But it is almost unne cessry to say that a very small proportion of the cata logues are disposed of to persons anxious to avail themselves of them, and that the mejority buy as a pretext to see the interior of the building. Nursery maids with their infant charges are, as soon as they approach the south entrance of the transept, seized with an irresistible impulse to participate in the transactions in lumber going on within, and even ladies' boarding-schools own the same influences. Not less than 3,000 to 4,000 people were there yes terday, and wandered over the spacipus interior with feelings of gratification and delight not difficult to de cipher in their faces. It is the commencement of a new era in the history of this wonderful building, which in itself contains features calculated to make it permanently attractive, and, if the contractors only play their cards well, they may render it so desirable and popular a place of resort that its removal will become an impossibility. At the same time it must be remembered that in strict terms this wonderful structure lies under sentence of death. Parliament has suspended the execution of the extreme sentence of the law until its pleasure be taken on the subject, and possibly it may preserve, or dismember, or des troy. It may see fit to vote the amount requisite to render the Crystal Palace per manent, or it may sanction its distribution, giving a limb to Battersea, another to Kew, and another to Victoria-park, in the approved style of dealing with the carcases of traitors.

Abbas Pacha had received some days berore a notifi cation from Constantinople tbat his demand to be allowed to continue to exercise the power of capital punishment was definitively rejected, and that mea sures had been taken for carrying the tanzimat into effect in Egypt, with a few insignificant modifications. Although this had been expected, it caused great irritation to the Pacha. He immediately convoked the consular body, and communicated to them the news he had received. After expressing his astonish ment, he dwelt at some length on his reasons for demanding the maintenance of the power of life and death : it was, he said, not only e ssential for the due carrying on of the Government, but for the safety of travellers and Europeans. He concluded by declaring that the pretensions of the Porte were incompatible with the government of Egypt secured to him by treaties, and that he was resolved to resist them by all means in his power. Abbas Pacha evidently expected that this declaration would cause great effect on the consuls-general ; but they received it with calm. The Pacha then asked their advice, and they unanimously expressed their opinion that before all he should obey the Sultan, his sove reign, would refer the matter to their nts. It is said that, dissatisfied witho n but i Pacha declared that be could no g the safety of Europeans in Egypt. respectivel longer trhanswers, thato veAbbasf ro Governments. they me On this, some of the consuls addressed him in rather severe terms, and he gave explanations which satis fied them. The Pacha, according to his custom in all cases of difficulty, subsequently left Cairo. He proceeded to Upper Egypt, and was accompanied by English Consul-General. At the date Mr. Delfurthraeyf the Engl ish news he had arrived et Beni-Souef, where he had been obliged to stop for a few days, in consequence of some accident to his steamer. It was there that the news of the fall of Reschid Pacha would reach him; it arrived at Alexandria on the Ist ult., but did not produce the sensation which might have been expected. It was thought, indeed, that it would not materially obange the position of things. As to the question of the railway, it re mained in the same state ; the English engineers terminated their plans for more than a month, but neither materials nor workmen were supplied them. The numerous Turks of the Administration threw continual obstacles in the way of the delivery of wood and stone, and the moudirs (chiefs of provinces) said that the fallabs, taking advantage of the tanzimat; refused to work without being paid. 'lt was evident that all this was only done to compel England to relieve the Pacha of the demands of the Porte. The English residents and Mr. Murray complained that Sir Stratford Canning did not sufficiently second them at Constantinople. A petition, to be signed by all English travellers to India, praying the British Go. vernment to support the Viceroy, was being got up ; it represented that if he were deprived of the power of life and death, the Bedouins could not be kept in order. The Duke Charles Bernard of Saxe-Weimar had arrived at Cairo from Batavia. He had been obliged to leave Batavia, where he held the post of commander-in-chief of the Dutch forces, on account of the pernicious effect of the climate on his health. When he left he was dangerously ill, but the journey had done him great good. ASSIZE INTELLIGE CE. - - IVORTHE HIV ClRCUl7l—Durham, March 2. CROWN COUR r —(Before Mr. Baron ALDER ON.) Jane Smithson, 22, was indicted for having, at the parish of St. Ostrald, wilfully murdered her female in fant child. Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Davidson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins defended the prisoner. The prisoner, a respectable looking girl, is the daughter of John Smithson, who keeps the Neville's Cross tell-bar, near this city, and l ikew i s e works as a labouri ng man. He has eight children, of whom the prisoner was one, and she bad been in the service of Mr. Story, of Giles-gate, in this city. Some time previous to the 20th of Sept. last her mistress, Mrs. Story, acc use d her of being in the family way, and had her examined by a surgeon, who stated that she was so, notwithstanding which she denied that such was the case. About the 13th of September she left her place and went to her father's, where she resided until the 20 th , on which day she went out about nine o'clock to gather blackberries,but not returning for some time, her mother sent out into the s fi e e a ld rc s h f f o o r r her th e prisoner,father, i whichor e he did, and fou n d her r that he might go an d underneath an oak-tree, in the corner of a field, called Monkhouse's-house. He heard the cry of a new-born child, and the prisoner said " Oh, father!" Her . father told her to take up the child, and bring it home, and she accordingly took it up, covering it with the shirts of her gown. The father then proceeded towards home, she following behind. They had to get over a quickset hedge, which was at the top of a bank. The father got over first, and after be bad done so, and proceeded a little way, he turned round and saw the prisoner in the ditch, as if she had fallen. After they reached town the prisoner and the child were sent in a cart to the union, when the childiwas examined, and it was found to be bleeding at the mouth, having two openings . in the gullet; it was also much scratched, as with thorns, and had a fracture of the skull. The medical man, however, stated that in his opinion the child's death was caused by the fracture of the skull, and that it might have sur vived the wounds in the gullet. It further appeared that the prisoner had hie' a child before, to which she had always and that sh e had prepared baby n for been ne T The jury having in timated that they were agreed on linen for kind, questi on . in d an acquittal, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins did not address them.

William Goodhall was indicted f or cu t t i ng an d woun d tog Edwin Ok:Lng, with i ntent to murder him, and e> preveet lawful &lamer. Mr. 10.4,-,ts ?lam counsel f or the, prosecution. On the 6ln of December Olding was conducting the prisoner aud another man (who esem,p-d) to Winchester Gaol, on a conviction under the Night Poaching Act when they tripped him up, and on his endeavouring to prevent their escape, they overpowered him and kicked him about she head, cutting his lip open and wounding him near the tempte, and thus sturminr him, The tw" men ran off, but stopping to knock off their handcuffs, Goodhall was ove-rtaken by Olding, a scuffle ensued, when a miller named Button came up and helped him; and then both the prisoner and the policeman were con veyed to the nearest station in a cart, A surgeon was sent for, to attend to their wounds, and the prisoner Goodhall was sent to gaol in three days. But the po liceman kept his bed some time frcm the Effects of his wounds, and did not resume duty for six weeks. The other prisoner, whose name was Eoglefield, has not since been heard of. The jury found Goodhall Guilty on the latter charge, and he was sentenced to transportation for ten years. Lenardo Marlino and Benito Goria de Prislo were in dicted for cutting and woundi ng J o h n Rogers, on the 17th of January, at Cowes, with intent to murder him. There were other counts, varying the charge. Mr. Beetham was counsel for the prosecution. Sewell defended the Prison ers. The prisoners in this case were Spanish sailors, and it appeared by the evidence that on the night of the 17th of January a policeman, named White, was attracted by a noise at the ferry at Cowes, and going there found the crews of an American and of a Spanish ship were fighting. There were more Americana than Spaniards, and the Spaniards were being beat to their ship, when the policeman interfered, and got tie Americans into the decks and shut the gates. Just at that time two Spaniards, who were identified to be the prisoners, came out of an alley armed with cutlasses, and struck the pro secutor, who happened to be standing there, not having had anything to do with the row, but being a ropemaker residing at Cowes. They cut him severely over the head, and then made their escape, but were the next day ap prehended, and identified by the prosecutor. Mr. SEWELL, for the prisoners, submitted that they had acted under the excitement of the moment, taking Mr. Rogers for one of the crew of the American vessel, by whom they bad been severely beaten. Mr. Justice TALFOURD having summed up, the jury found the prisoners Guilty o f wounding without any malicious intent, and recommended them to mercy. They were then sentenced to six months' imprison ment. - Mr. OXFORD CIRCLIIT.—Oxford, March 2. Both the judges sat to-day, at nine o'clock. Before Mr. Justice Wightman an application was made yesterday by Mr. Pigott (with him Mr. Huddle ston) in the case of Gulielmo Giovanni Bazetti Kalabergo, the Italian, charged with the murder of his uncle, Gio vanni Maria F er di nando li a l a b ergo , at Wi ll i amscott, near Banbury, to have the trial put off till the next as sizes, on the ground that he was a total stranger in this country, and unable to speak or understand English; that his mother and sister resided in the north of Italy, and his brother-in-law was a notary, and he had written to him to come over to this country, and was in daily ex pectation of bis arrival; and that, moreover, in conse quence of a paragraph in one of the county papers, there was such a prejudice excited against him that he could not Wain a fair trial at the present assiz , s.

Charles goK, a 24, Rene I VENING, MARL I 1 4, gloriously entering the house of John Checkley, at Cornwi , ll, on the night of the 14th October last, and stealing a silver watch, twelve silver teaspoons, and other articles, and assaulting him with intent to murder him. Mr. Skinner and Mr. Cripps appeared for the prose ion; the prisoners were undefended. The servant girl of the prosecutor stated that her bedroom was over that of her master and mistress, and that on the above night she went to bed at ten o'clock, and during the night was roused by the noise of two men in her bedroom. Both had shirts over their clothes, and one (Moss) had his face blackened. One was shorter than the other. The shorter man had a candle in one hand and a pistol in the other. She jumped up on seeing them, but the ono with the candle said, " Down, or I'll blow your brains out." She at once laid down. and they threw the clothes over her head. What they afterwards did in the room she could not see. After they left her room she heard a noise in Mr. Checkley's room, and heard Mr. Cbeckley groan several times, and say, "I am dead;" and heard them threaten to blow out his brains if he did not lie still, and that money they wanted and money they would have, and also say, Here's six volumes for you;" and heard Mr. Checkley say, "You must shoot me; fur I have no money." Mr. Checkley called for me while they were there, and one of them said, " Let her alone. She must not come." She then heard a consultation between them as to getting a light, and afterwards o noise of dragging in her master's room, and heard thf m open the drawers and cupboard, and ask her mistress for her money. The shorter man, Moss, came back into her room, having a candle in his hand, and having thrown on the shirt over his dress, steel he wanted her money. She told him there was a sovereign in her box, and 10s. in her pocket. He searched her box, and then came to the other side of the bed, and she looked at him, and be said "Lie down; you are looking at me in order to transport me." She noticed at the time that ho had on a pair of check trousers, and it appeared that when he was afterwards arrested be had such a pair of trousers on; and these she now swore she believed were such as he wore that night. It also appeared that when he was arrested he had in his pocket a peculiar tin case which was lost that night, and which she identified by its having been used for a long time to contain pepper, and which she now swore had still the smell of pepper, though Moss, who was defending himself, said to-day, in his cross-examination, it had been used for carrying whisky since she had lost it. When they left the house she heard the report of a gun. She then went down stairs and opened her master's door, which was tied outside with a handkerchief. She was positive Moss was the man who came the second time into her room, and she believed Rock was the other =an. The prosecutor said he was awoke on the above night by the cries of the servant, and he got up and opened his bedroom door. and saw Rock outside. A scuffle ensued, and Rock struck him on the head, and knocked him down. The other man was near also, and struck him also on the head. He got up he did not re member bow, and laid hold of the life• preserver which Rick held in his hand, and Moss cut his fingers with a large knife which he drew out. He was thrown down Again, and Rock lay ou him, and M. ss asked Mrs. Checkley what there was in the corner cupboard? She said," Tea and sugar." Moss searched, and on tieding it was, they asked for money. Saw Moss hold towards him a revolver pistol with six barrels, and heard him say, " I will blow your old brains out it you do not give us money," and I said, " Blow away, I have no money." My mistress gave them her purse with money, and they gave the purse back. Moss went afterwards to the maid's room, and called out to Rock, who remained below, " It's all right?" and afterwards came down. Before going away they said they would tie me down, but my mistress said she would hold me down. They then left the room and fastened it on the outside, and after they bad gone away the servant came down and removed the fastenings. The wounds on my head were so severe that I was for a long time delirious. On the 18th December I went into the gaol and selected these two men out of a great crowd. I afterwards mistook another man for Moss. lam quite sure that the pri soners are the men, and I often saw Muss at the Parrot Inn, at Chipping Norton. The surgeon proved that when he called on the prose cutor on tte 15th of October, he found him suffering from four severe and deep wounds on the head, each penetrating to the bone. He was in a very exhausted state, but sensible. Three of the wounds were such as might hews been inflicted by such a life-preserver as was round in the pocket of one of the prisoners. The prose cutor was occasionally delirious for twelve or 'thirteen days. This was occasioned by the blows on the head. His shoulders, arms, and back were one mass of bruises, such as would be produced by blows and kicks. The prorecator's life was in imminent danger for many days. Mcss had been in the surgeon's service three years age., as stableman, for twelve months, and witness had nothing to say against him during that time. It was further proved that on the evening of the lath Oct. Rock and Moss came to the Parrot Inn about six o'clock, and at eight o'clock Moss went away, and Rock went to bed. Before Moss went away it was arranged between them that Moss should, come back the next morning. Moss came the next morning, and they had breakfast, and they went away ab.)ut nine. A witness saw in Moss's pocket, before they left, the upper part of a life-preserver, which she believed was that now pro duced. A witness named Reynolds also proved that on that morning, about nine o'clock, he met them soon after they left the Parrot Inn, and saw something like a life•pre server in Moss's pocket, and spoke to them, and asked Jones whether he would be in the town in the evening, and Jones said he did not know where he would be that night, and afterwards called beck the witness, and de sired him to take no notice of what he had just said. Another witness proved that he met the prisoners together on the 16th October, about seventeen miles from Chipping Norton. Mr. M'Oroham, the inspector of police at le"ominster, saw the prisoners on the evening of the sth of November last at that town. They were in the street, and he, sus pecting something wrong, followed them for a time, thinking they would go into a public house or lodging house; but seeing them go out of the town, he went up and collared Hanks, and Wilted him what he had got in Ojap: ,ekes. . Hanks put his b ac k to the wall, and Pair', "Ia that it?" and Jones stepped back and drew a pistol 'roue under his etnockfrock. The inspector had tie arms eiettever with bim, and wishing to divert their wren , I ,n, asked them where was the woman that bad been with them, They said they ha Ino women with them. tie said T hey had, and she inue at their lodging-, and he .:vent away, saying he would tini her at their !edg ing.. flaying thus diverted their attention, he ran back to the mayor's office, got a gun and pistol, and told the mayor to send the constables atter him. He then ran on in the direction in wnieh they had gone, followed by a constable, and crossed the fields towards a wicket which ne thought they must pass, in order to intercept them. As he was crossing the fields he heard two shots, and a cry, " Davis is shot." Davis was one of the constables. Smith, the constable . who was with me (said the witness) ran in the direction of the shots, but I kept on towards the gate where I knew they must come. As I got to the gate, Rock came up running, and said, " Guard, stand off, or shoot yeti," and faced half round, and snapped a six-barrelled revolver at me. It missed fire; he then held up another revolver at me and fired, and I heard something whiz past my head. I at the same moment fired at him, and hit him in the thigh, and he fell to the grouud and lay there—but faced me, and holding out the revolver pistol towards me, threatened to shoot the first who should touch him. I moved off to the gate, in order to meet Moss, as he must come that way, and soon the other constables came up, and said that Mess also had been taken. I then went to where Rock lay. He threatened to shoot me, but I lifted my gun and said I would blow his brains out if he stirred. He then dropped the pistol. I went up, disarmed him, and handcuffed and searched him. I found two revolving pistols with six barrels each. All were loaded except one barrel, which had the appear ance of being recently discharged. I also sound a tin canister in his pocket, and be had on him tine pair of cueck trousers which have been produced to-day. Davis, the other police-officer, proved that when he came up to Moss he collared him, and Moss fired a re volver at him, and the ball hit him on the side of the head; he then fired again, and the ball went through the collar of the coat, and glanced off his stock. Davis'. son then came up and struck Moss down with a stick; and Smith and the other constable arriving, he was overpowered and handcuffed. Two revolvers were found on him, one in each hand, every barrel being loaded, ex cept the two which were fired off. They were found Guilty of burglary with violence. His LORDSHIP then addressed them, saying that the offence of which they had been found guilty was one of the few which were still capital, and a sentence of death would be recorded.

The commission for the county of Bucks was opened yesterday afternoon by Mr. Justice Crompton, who was met by the High Sheriff, Mr. Scott Murray, of Danes field, at the station, and thence escorted to the Town ball, which is now connected with the judges' lodging° , built on the site of the old gaol. It may be remembered that a few years ago Mr' Murray relinquished the faith of his ancestors, and w ati received into the Church of Rome at a time when he re presented the county. As a conso-quence of this change the Hon. Gentleman retired from Parliament at the ensu ing election. The High Sheriff always appoints a chap 141D, whose privilege and duty it ha do ACQGD3PPY 1852 the shsriff and judges of assize on all (seem ions and to preach the eseize sermon. It app era that 'Jr. Murray appointed Reman Catholic chap lain, selecting Mr. Morris, who, like himself, had seceded from the Church of England, and this Rev. Gentleman would seem to have accompanied the sheriff and Mr. Justice Crompton yesterday to the daor of the church of the hamlet of Walton, whence, hiving there deposited the Learned Judge, the High Sheriff and his chaplain proceeded to the Roman Catholic chepel, and afterwards took up his Lordship. When both the courts, were opened to-day at 10 o'clock for the dispatch of busi ness, the High Sheriff was again attended by Mr. Morris as his chaplain. The grand jury having been duly sworn, Lord CAMPBELL proceeded to deliver his charge to them, and, as his Lordship adverted to the presence of the chaplain, we think it right to subjoin the chief por tions of that charge, which was to the following effect:— " Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,—lt gives me great satisfaction to find so numerous and so respectable an attendance of the gentlemen of this county on the present occasion, and I may mention that that number would have been increased by the addition of Mr. Disraeli, but that that gentleman has been prevented from attending by those other public duties which now devolve on him," His Lordship then referred to the state of the calendar, and having done so, thus proceeded :—" Gentlemen, I should have dismissed you at once were it not for a circumstance which has caused some surprise, and not a little un easiness. You have, gentlemen, for your High Sheriff a gentleman most benevolent, most accessible, and alto gether an honour to your county. Ho is of the Romsn Catholic persuasion, and I rejoice to think that that is no objection to his performing the duties of his high office. A message was sent to me trem him respectiug the attendance of the judges at Church, and I communi cated to him that Iby no means expected he should do anything in the slightest degree contrary to his con science or hurtful to his feelings. I rejoice that in this country religious opinions are uo barriers in the way of performing 'civil duties, and there is nothing to be per• formed by a High Sheriff that may not be well enough executed although that individual should be of a form of religion different from that of the Established Chore e But, gentlemen, sum-thing h, s occurr4d which I think requires explanation. The High Sheriff, without int acing in the slightest degree to be guilty of en impropriety, and, indeed, being informed it had been done in other counties, has appointed a chaplain of his own religion. and that chaplain has appeared in the garb os his order in accompany ieg the High Sherg and her M , jesty's judges coming from the place where the sheriff meets tneto to the place where we now are. Gentlemen, that Ido not ap prove of; and I think it my duty so say that I hope such an occurrence will not be repeated. Gentlemen, I hope that no one will suppose I am actustsd by any illiberal motive; I have always most strenuously supported the Roman Catholics in their claims for freedom of opinion,, in or der that they should be admitted to all the privileges of all others of her Majesty's subjects; and I may say, gen tlemen, that having lately been sojourning in Italy, I had the honour of an audience with the head of that re ligion, and from that interview I had every reason to be lieve he is a most excellent and most praiseworthy per eon; arid no one must suppose, from the course I take, I am actuated by any improper metive. But, gentlemen, the she( lir appoints a chaplain who is to appear as the chaplain of the judges, and who is expected to take his seat in the same carriage as the judges, and to sit be side the judges in the court. That chaplain, therefore, becomes the chaplain of the judges, and the Protestant religion is the religion of the judges of this country; and it is not any disrespect or bad feeling toward the Roman Catholic faith which induces me to make these remarks, for I must say that I 'respect the feelings of the Catholics, and that sacred order which they have created; and I hope I shall meet with your approbation in these remarks. Ido not wish in the slightest degree to wound the feelings of my friend whom I see here this day (turning to the sheriff), and when I ask that it shall not be repeated, I am sure it will be felt that it is as much for the benefit of the Roman Catholic subj• eta as for those who belong to the Established Church; for we should not encourage any thing which would create unnecessary alarm, or be the means of exciting those bad feelings which never should exist among fellow-Christians. With these remarks, gentlemen, I dismiss you." The Hon. G. J Irbt, the foreman of the grand jury, begged to thank his Lordship for his charge on behalf of himself and fellow-jurymen, assuring him that they fully reciprocated his observations. The grand jury at the close of the day made the fol lowing presentment on the suhject:— .. I n making our presentment, the grand jury desire to express their respectful thanks to your Lordship for your observations on the subject of the attendance of a chaplain of the Roman Catholic persuasion, and to as sure your Lordship of their unanimous and entire con currence in the sentiments addressed to them by your Lordship." Lord C A MPBELL—Gentlemen of the grand jury, I am happy to discharge you, with the thanks of the country for y' able discharge of your (Jiffies. With regard to the presentment (which had been read aloud), I can only say that in making those observati ,ns I was actu ated by the most kindly feelings towards my friend the H ig h Sheriff (who was sitting by his Lordship's side), and towards all my Roman Catholic brethren. I did feel, however, that it was my duty to mike thtm, and I hope that such a thing will not happen in future. The grand jury thin bowed and withdrew from the gallery allotted to i,heir use. The calendar contains the names of 28 prisoners, cast's alleged offences include two caes or child mur der,' three of arson, two of rape, two of burglary, one of sheepstealteg, one of assault, and three of larceny. Elizabeth Keeley, aged 20, was charged with the murder of her illegitimate male child, at Hatubledon, on the 12th of November last. Mr. Power conducted the prosecution, and Mr. G. L. Browne the defence. The prisoner was in the service of a farmer named Hewitt for about eighteen months, and was esteemed by her mistress to be a mild and kindhearted creature. In November her mistress taxed her with being enceinte, but she denied the charge, alleging that her illuess pi o cbteded from a pain in the side; but on the 12th Mrs. Hewitt disc•tveted traces of blood on the I),a of tne 09d-room oecupied by the prisoner, which the latter attibuted at first to natural caus.ts, but ultimately ad mitted to arise from the premature birth of a child, which she afterwards deposited in the privy. In this place was found the body of a full-grown and healthy male child, presenting symptoms and marks about it which, in tha opinion of the medical witness. led to the conclusion that the child had been born alive, and had been strangled by the right hand. When this was com municated to the prisoner, she said, "It was not the right hand; I did it with the left hand." Lord CAMPBELL left it to the jury to say whether they thought the prisoner had intentionally strangled her issue, or might have inflict e d the wounds spoken to in the agony of childbirth, and without any design to take away life. It the jury thought she was not guilty of murder, they might well convict her of concealing the birth, of which there was abundant evidence. The jury, without any hesitation, Acquitted the pri soner of the charge of murder, but convicted her of the misdemeanour. bentence—Six months' imprisonment. POLICE IN "ELLIGENCE. BOW-S7'REEI. Ann Williams, and another young female named An derson, were brought up in the custody of Huggett, a City ollicer, and placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged with stealing from a seafaring man four 10/. Bank of England notes. The officer stated, that on Tuesday last he was on duty at the Bank of England, and being informed he was required iu the secret , r).'s effiee, he went there, and met a na.m named D ,naghtt, who told him he bad received three lot notes from vho prisoners, to get changed.
