MONDAY FIVENING, _NOVEMBER 30, 1846, liberation, not of 761 pounds of pepper, but of 3,761, and purported that an amount of duty had been paid, not is the sum of 191. 19s. 64., but of 791. 19s. 6d. If the quantity of pepper had been correct, even then the duty would have come to as much as 981.:145. 6d. In the register-book of the - Customs' offices an alteration had been made in one of the entries relating to the quan tity of pepper, the subject of the present information. The numbers upon the dock warrant and delivery order, which should correspond to the same number in the ledgers of the office, instead cf doing so, had refer ence to another vessel altogether, •from Algoa Bay, the cargo of which, instead of being pepper, was goat skins. plainant and three other females, with whom they en deavoured to enter into conversation, but were repulsed, and at a lonely part of the road the prisoner laid hold of Miss Vinell's arms, and committed the assault corn plained of. The prosecutrix called a policeman, but the prisoner being determined to have the advantage of making the first accusation, made a charge against her of having attempted to pick his pocket. Mr. GREENWOOD, after hearing all the evidence which occupied nearly two hours, said he considered the charge to be fully established, and that the mode taken by the prisoner to rebut it was disgraceful. He should fine him 51., and in default, ordered him to be committed for two months to the House of Correction, with hard labour. Mr. Woripsworan, on the part of the defendant, con. tended that there was no evidence to fix his client. Ii was quite true that some fraud had been committed, but it was quite another question to say that the defendant had been guilty of those frauds. The period at which the fraud was committed was an unusually busy period, in consequence of a resolution of the House of Commons during the passage of the, New Tariff Bills to admit coffee and other articles at the reduced rate of duty contemplated by the Act, and the deli very order might have been filled up by a mere error, in consequence of the press of business; then this order was countersigned by the defendant, but his name was nearly, if not the last which was affixed to the document. The defendant, therefore, had not been proved to be the person who committed the fraud, and it was the duty of the Crown to have brought forward some evidence rela tive to the earlier history of the transaction. Mr. Fennell, the owner of the pepper, should have been called, and some other officers who had been dismissed lately for misconduct. The Crown had failed to make out the case, for the issue to be made out was clearly whether or not the defendant had committed the fraud in question. In conclusion, he stated that although the name of the defendant had been mixed up with former prosecutions, and he had been suspended from his office, still that fact should not be allowed to operate against him in. the present case. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied at some length. The LORD CHIEF BARON summed up, and the jury returned a verdict for the Crown—Damages, 202/.lBs. WORSHIP STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Henry and Elizabeth Gobey were charged with having in their possession a variety of articles, the alleged pro perty of Mr. Atkinson Morley, proprietor of the hotel bearing his name in Old Burlington-street, Bond-street. Police-sergeant Price said that in consequence of information he had received, he proceeded to Mr. Morley, who accompanied him to the prisoners' lodgings in George-street, Shoreditch. They wore both at home. On a table in their room were perceived three decanters and some wine-glasses, which Mr. Morley identified at once as his property. The female prisoner said that one of the decanters she had found in a dust-hole at Mr. Morley's, whilst she was a servant at the hotel; that the others were his (Mr. Morley's) property, as well as the glasses, but that she did not take them. During this search, the male prisoner kicked against one of the de canters, which was lying upon the floor under the bed, and broke it. Witness then sent for another constable, and the male prisoner was conveyed to the station-house. Witness continued his search, and in a box found some linen articles, bed-furniture, carpeting, and a hearth rug, &c. &c.; some of these the female prisoner said she had found, and others she had purchased whilst in Mr. Morley's employ. The articles were now produced, and Mr. Morley identified some of them. The female prisoner was house or chambermaid in his employment about a year and a half ago. He did not believe that the male prisoner had any knowledge of the robbery. Mr. CoOntnn said he should admit the male prisoner to bail in two sureties of 20/. each, fur his appearance on Saturday, but that the wife should be remanded until that day. -► PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 28.—This port is to be placed in as effective , a state of defence as possible. The whole of the fortifications are to be furnished with the neces sary guns (321b5.) as soon es the remaining portion of the carriages arrive from Woolwich. Charges of 101bs. each to the number of 700 have been made up, and are to be kept ready for immediate use in the magezine at tached to the Queen's Bastion in addition to which more powder is there deposited than at any time during the last war. STATISTICS OF THE STEAM NAVIN -A corre spondent of the Times, in defending the Government for raising the status of the .first-class naval engineers by making them ward-room officers, furnishes the following statistics of the steam navy of this country. The steam engines employed in the navy amount to 38,938 horse power, which, at 50.. per horse, costs 1,946,4001.; and the spare gear for ditto, at 5 per cent., 97,345/.; making a total of 2,04-1,245/. for the value of our steam machinery afloat. To work this machinery we should, at the rate of 101 b. of coals' per horse-power per hour, consume 4,172 tons of coals per day; take the average price in the different parts of the world in which they would be used at 30s. per ton, and we find we consume 6,2581. worth per Tay. Allow the whole fleet to be employed one third of the year at the same rate, and we incur an ex pense of 763,4761. for coals ; say for tallow, oil, &a., 38,5241.; and for replacing and repairing machinery (per naval estimate), 450,000/. ; and we find our annual ex pense for 'Working this machinery amounts to 1,252,000/. ABBY FOLSOM DISSATISFIED WITH AN ,EASY VICTORY.—On Saturday Mrs. Abigail Folsom appeared in the justices' court to answer to a writ of ejectment brought by. Mr. Whithridge, her landlord; but as he did not appear to assert his right to turn Abby out of doors, the court ordered him to be defaulted, and gave judg ment in Abby's favour. As this peaceable settlement of the case cut Abby off from her intended speeeh, she ex pressed great dissatisfaction, and insisted upon appeal ing. It was in vain that she was told she could not appeal, as the judgment was in her favour. Failing to carry her point in that court, she mounted up to the common pleas room, walked into the chief justice's crimson-bound'sauctum, called his attention to her by tapping him on the shoulder, stated her grievance to him, and insisted that he should receive her appeal. The chief justice, as soon as he had recovered from his sur prise, ordered officer G. Andrews to remove the lady from the bench and the court room. It was not without the use of some physical- force that the officer ejected Abby.—Boston Post. A HORSE'S REVENGE.—Two days ago the owner of a horse, at the time standing in Mr. Lamontague's stable at Point Levi, while in a state of intoxication, entered the animal's stall, and it is supposed began to tease him, when the horse threw him down, and falling upon his knees, worried him like a dog- would. The groans of the man brought the ostler and one or two other persons to his assistance. When these entered the stable, they found the horse kneeling and the man lying on his back. The brute had his arm firmly wedged be tween his teeth, and it was with much difficulty he was made to loosen his hold. The poor man had both his arms broken by the furious bites of the horse, and the bone of one, the left, was so ground to pieces, and the flesh so lacerated, that amputation bad to be resorted to. His face is torn, and his body severely bruised in several places. Ile is now under Dr. Racey's care, and likely to do well. The horse (a stallion) is said to be ex tremely vicious, and only manageable by his owner, who is known to have severely punished him on frequent occasions, to reduce him to obedience.—Quebec Mer cury, Oct. 15. TIIE LATE EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY AT EALING. —lnspector Lano - ster, of Ealing, who conveyed for iden tification, on Saturday, at the Old Bailey, the property stolen by Esther Elizabeth White from Mr. Jones, found that during his journey he lost 102 gold and silver coins, which constituted a portion of the stolen property through a hole in his pocket.. THE RAZOR-STROF MAN.—The liberality with which this celebrated individual gives for charitable purposes is well known. An instance occurred on Tues day last at Canandaigna. He left the cars at Blossom's Refreshment-house, and taking his stand before the building sOoddrew the crowd from the tables to listen to his peculiar eloquence. During the "ten minutes" he had sold nine strops, and just as the bell began to ring, he espied in the crowd a poor old man who was peddling pea-nuts and candy. Instantly the razor-strop man threw 18a., the proceeds of his sale, into the old man's basket, and stopped on board the cars, leaving the object of his benefietion. aitonished' - at so: sudden and AvelCome •an exercise of bounty.—Rochester Amaican. A TRIM' DROWNED DY HIS PLUNDER.--OD Thurs day last, as a man named George Harding was attempt ing to escape, by means of a boat, from the yard of Mr. Kennett, railway contractor, Bristol, he over balanced himself, and fell into the water. The weight of the stolen iron upon his person caused him to sink to the bottom, and before he could be got out life was extinct. THE VISIT OF THE COURT TO ARUNDEL CASTLE.— A detachment of 36 troopers from the 12th Lancers, from Hounslow Barracks, under command of Lieutenant Sutton, arrived on Saturday at the George Hotel, Ports mouth, to form a royal escort to her Majesty and Court on their journey to Arundel Castle, on Tuesday next. Twenty horses from the royal stables, one carriage, and a number of domestics, arrived at the George on Sunday morning. THE LAST HIT.—A man is doing a smashing business by letting post-coaches run over him, and then commencing suits for damages. He has c1eared...1,172 dollars in the last nine months.—American paper. THE EXPEDITION OF GENERAL FLORES.—The ship. Glenelg, one of General Flores's squadron, arrived at Blackwall in tow of three steamers, and was safely moored there on Saturday morning last at 9 o'clock, having been brought from Gravesend for greater security, by order of the Board of Customs. Mr. Ferguson, the well-known river pilot, was entrusted with the manage ment of the ship in her passage up the river ; and Mr. Forsayth and other officers of the Customs, as well as Inspector Evans and another officer of the Thames s P h o e l i l c i e e , s w i n e r t e h , e w r i e v u e n r i e s r s a t a v nd er , y o g n a b l l o a a n r t d ioo T k i h n e g Gl ship ene ; l g a , n a d s if she, together with the Monarch and Neptune steamers, be condemned, which we have reason to think is all but certain, the ambitious views of Flores on the quiet state of Ecuador will, doubtless, by the loss of such a squadron, be effectually crushed for the present, if not for ever. ' CURIOUS RELIC OF ANTIQUITY.—Within the last two months, as the workmen who were forming the line oil the new railway at Bevtirly were digging about nine feet deep, n e a r th e old Friary, in order to fix a gate post, they came in contact with a large sten, which, when got out, proved to be an antique quern, and is supposed to have been one of the domestic utensils used by the ancientof cu c c ircular r ns for grinding, or rather powdering their corn to separ a t e it f rom t h e h us k s or chaff. It is of rude and simpl e construct i on, the centre b e i ng h o ll owe d out, shape, and somewhat resembling an in verted punch bowl.

The Berlingsche Zeitung of the 12th says:— " The Skald (Swedish bard) of Axel and Frithioff, Bishop Esaias Tegner, is no more. After having expo f . rienced very indifferent health for several years, and ' after having been exposed to not less than six strokes of apoplexy, he fell asleep without pain, tranquilly and peacefully, on the 11th day after the last attack, viz., on Monday, the 2d of November, at half-past eleven at night, aged 64. Esaias Tegrir was born on the 13th of November, 1782, at Hyf kerad, in the Bishopric of Carl stadt. At the age of 17 he was a student in Lund; in the year 1800 he was amanuensis there in the Academi cal Library; he received the best character (laudatur) at the examination of the candidates for philosophical de grees from all the professors, and was in this way tnagister primus, and soon after a professor of aesthetics. Some time afterwards he was academical adjunct in Lund. In 1806 he was simultaneously appointed to the vice bibliothecal chair, and notary to the Philosophical Fa culty. He thereupon married a young lady belonging to the family in w hi c h h e had at an earlier period of his life been domestic tutor, Mademoiselle A. M. G. Myhr man, and in 1811 the Swedish Academy honoured his Skald poem, Swea, with their high approbation. A year afterwards, he was, with a suspension of all the cus tomary forms, elected Professor of Greek Literature to the University of Lund, and appointed pastor-prebend of Staeije. It was on his induction into holy orders that he wrote the poem, so resplendent with celestial beauty, on The Ordination of Priests. Axel was now composed and published ; then The Night Watchtower Sentry's Child; subsequently his " epilogue to the pro motion in Lund in 1820, and " Song on the Tun," which Leopold places in the first rank amongst all his minor poems, as well as the celebrated Frithioff Saga, which, according to Franzen's judgment, raised Tegter to the rank of the most eminent poets of modern times, and diffused his name, not only throughout Europe, but even to the other extremities of the globe. The poet now assumed Oxenstiern's place in the Swedish Aca demy; and in 1824, the same year in which his Frithioff immortalised his name, he was made Bishop of Wexiii. Of the manner in which, as president of the schools and churches, he fulfilled his sacred calling, evidence is af forded by several of his discourses, and the remarkable proceedings of the assemblies of preachers in 1836. Im mediately after his appointment to the bishopric he be came a Knight-Commander of the Order of the Northern Star, the small cross of which be had already received when professor. From this period he only sounded his tuneful lyre on casual occasions; but there is ground for hope that a by no means inconsiderable number of new and longer poems will be found bequeathed by him to posterity. Francis Michael Franzen, who some years ago wrote a biography of Tegrer, concluded it in these words:—' Although the northernly element forms partly the spirit, and partly the staple of his poems, his poesy is nevertheless deeply imbued with southern luxuriance and beauty. With respect to his fresh and brilliant co louring, and the richness of his imagery and ideas, he might be compared to an orange tree, whose powerful and wholly green tints are adorned with ripe fruit by the side of newly-burst blossoms. In short, Tegner's death is an almost irreparable loss to the lovers of Swedish literature, the most beautiful, of its kind, that exists in a language.' " I INQUEST ON TIIE CANON RIEGO.—The inquest on the body of Michael Riego, who was found dead in his lodgings in Seymour-street, was resumed this day before Mr. G. C. Mills, coroner, at the Coronation public-house, Seymour-street, New-road. Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Malcolth, G.O a, Mr. Macdounell, and other frietids of the deceased, and - the female and boy attend ant, who resided in the house with the deceased up to the time of his death, were examined, after which the jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of " Natural death." The deceased was brother to the 'celebrated JOHN KNOX' _HOUSE. Spanish general, Riego, the leader of the insurrectionary movement which took place in Spain, which terminated in his execution. • THE FORGERIES BY THE POSTMASTER AT BARNET. —Some time since John Pearce Morse, a chemist and druggist at Barnet, where he was also postmaster, ab sconded, as is well known, from that town, having com mitted forgeries of post-office orders to between 2,0001. and 3,000/. Subsequent to the discovery of the circum stances; a reward of 50 guineas was offered for his ap prehension, and, from the inquiries instituted, it was found that he had gone off to the continent. Peake, one of the Post-office officers, was then sent to Bruges, Where it was ascertained Morse had been seen, but found on his arrival there that he had left that city for Brussels. Peake followed him to Brussels, and from thence traced him to Ostend, where ho was discovered under the name of Morton, living at the house of a hair-dresser, in a very reduced state, having squandered away all the money he took with him, which is believed to have been a considerable sum. He was immediately taken into custody by the Belgian authorities for travelling under a false name, but it is not at present known whether he will be brought over to this country to be punished for the crime he has committed. THE RIVER PLATE.—LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.— We are informed that our Government has united with Several paragraphs have lateli , appeared in the Edin burgh papers, expressive of a doubt whether it is not intended to pull down the curious old house at the head of the Canongate, celebrated as being the residence of John Knox. A correspondent of the Courant of Satur day,thus notices the rumour, beginnin g first with a simi larreport respecting Shakspere's,house reported in the I , Grcester Journal that there is an intention to remove the house in Stratford-on-Avon, in which Shakspere was born, married, lived, and died. Can such an act of barbarism be thought of, or permitted in civilised and high-minded England ? It would bring disgrace not only on the country, but upon the age in which we live. This surely cannot be. If it be true, the authors of such an outrage ought to be banished from England to some other country. But whither could they be sent to ? Even young Australia would reject them with scorn and loathing. I know no place where such barbarians would be safe, excepting in the metropolis of Scotland, where a similar outrage, it is currently reported, is meditated, and where they may in consequence be protected by sympathising friends, with tastes and feelings as barbarous as their own. " It is rumoured that the house in the city of Edin burgh, in which the great Scottish Reformer, John Knox, lived and died, is to be treated in a similar man ner, and that the destruction is to be brought about by men who profess almost to worship his memory, and who have the name of John Knox, and his deeds, and his reforms, and his doctrines; seldom out of their mouths." Our impression of the arrangements formerly an nonnped with respect to Knox's house, is quite different from the above. The Free Church party, as we under stood, intended erecting a Knox monument and church, and inclosing the present ancient, building with a view y former o oux werren i ir t io ht s euro p stlp r ahte e gse s ppem e o.et r scsh v e, , a elmev t Ts i ees o hesne n ies aioaßznfe l edns f f ttoshr t rtoe h rmnoy i thi s gef dr p to l onEwm a a n sadetasi e a ibnoc s uadt rlho b ge e c ihednvntehenwder architecture eeeri venerable listaeneand: struc ture.t s f ao r nd il o sti th l r.

Knox probably lived here, while in town, till Lis death, November 24, 1572. • A window is shown, from which he used to preach to the people on the street, and there is an effigy of him in the attitude of preaching, upon the corner of the building." Can any party seri ously contemplate the demolition of a building thus hallo Wed and endeared to the people of Scotland?—a memorial, too, of the times when!Scotland was an inde pendent kingdom, and the force of the national character —rugged, but fervid and undaunted—achieved the great triumph of the Reformation.

The small tenement shown as his birth-place was undoubtedly his property; he , inherited it from his father, and bequeathed it by his will to his eldest daughter; but Shakspere's lather had two other small houses in the town, and there is nothing but tra dition to vouch for the popular belief. The old dwelling, however, is an interesting relic ; it was once the property of the greatest of Englishmen and of poets ; and it has :been Visited by thousands of pilgrims froth all parts of the world. Its walls are low and humble, but its strong oak beams and floors promiie two or three centuries more duration. It may be sold, but scarcely, we think, taken down. Its value as a show house, if not its importance in the eyes of the inhabitants, will save it from destruction. It might be well, however, for the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, who pro tect and repair the ruins of castles and cathedrals, to ex 'tend their care to such relics of genius as this Shakspearian mansion. By directing their attention to the few ancient historical and memorable houses in the kingdom, likely to be sold or pulled down, they might, from time to time, at small expense, gratify strangers, both foreigners and natives of this country, and thus perpetuate interesting memorials, of our national glory. We were mortified, some years since, to find the only re- - maining Milton house in Loudon (one in which the poet lived eight years, and where he must have commenced " Paradise Lost") converted into a miserable chandler's shop. To pay homage to intellect and genius, even in the way we have mentioned, would be graceful and be coming in a great nation.

VARNEY V. lIICKRIAN-A WAGER CASE. This was an action brought to recover from Mr. Hick man, licensed victualler, in Clerkenwell, a gum of 201. which had been deposited in his hands by the plaintiff, to abide the result of a race. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr..Phinn appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Parry and Mr. Joyce appeared for the defence. Fr.'m the statement of the case it appeared, that on the 18th of April last, a cab-contractor was at the house of the defendant, where he met with a Jew of the name of Isaacs, a dust-contractor. A wager was made be tween them of the following character ; namely, that the cab -proprietor should run one of his horses with a light chaise-cart attached to it, against a horse of the defendant's, harnessed in a dust cart, each to carry ten cwt. The stakes, 40/. were handed to the landlord to abide the issue of this novel race, but on the day of trial it appewed that the_cabnian was nosiest inventus, and the dust-contractor had the • field to himself. In consequence Isaacs claimed the stakes • from Mr. Hick , man, and, after some hesitation ori•the part of the latter, he delivered the money over.. on receiving an indemnity. The result was the • bringing of the present action to . _recover the 204 depo - sited -by Varney on the ground' that the wager was illegal and void, and that he had served a notice on: Hickman not to deliver up the money to Isaacs before the time that the former bad paid it over. The evi dence adduced was of a very conflicting character, one side proving that the notice to withhold the money was given to the defendant before he pMd it over to Isaacs, the other side that it was after. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up in favour of the plaintiff, and the jury immediately returned a verdict • for the whole amount claimed. FADUEIHLE V. ITOLROYD.—GAMING DEBTS. This was an action brought by Mr. Fadeuihle, a wine merchant, doing business in the City, against Mr. Hot royd, a cloth worker, of Leeds, the indorser of note, accepted by Mr. Hanks, of London,. formerly a grocer, but now a bankrupt. The defendant pleaded that the bill was given without legal consideration, having been passed to plaintiff for a gaming debt contracted on the last Derby day. Mr Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. James appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Matthews for the defence. The promissory note was drawn by the defend ant, and endorsed to Mr. Hanks. It appeared that, on the last Derby day, Mr. Fadeuihle had a party at his house who had been with him at the races, composed of Mr. Hanks and two gentlemen from Yorkshire, and, after dinner, they proceeded to play at whist. In the course of the evening Hanks lost 281. to the plaintiff; for which he gave an I 0 U, on the understanding that it should be given up when the money was paid. Subse quently the bill in question was endorsed by Hanks, and paid to the plaintiff, receiving the balance, in cash, which, it appeared, was also lost in gaming. Hanks about this time became a bankrupt, and hence the present action. At the time the bill was given to the plaintiff it was alleged, on behalf of the latter that the defendant owed a debt for wine, and that the bill was given not for the gaming debt, but for that. This was denied by Hanks, who declared positively that the bill was given for the gaming debt alone, and had _nothing whatever to do with the, wine. After the examination of a number of witnesses on both sides, the evidence of which was strongly in favour of the defence, The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the IiEcoRDEII.)_ • William Smith, aged 20, carrier; and George Pearson, aged 24, fender maker, were indicted for stealing a hat and other articles worth 10s., and the sum of 30s. in money, from William Turner, on the night of the Bth November last, and doing him serious bodily harm. Police-constable 164 M apprehended the prisoner Pearson at the time the circumstance occurred. Watkins, another police-conStablE, who had appre hended Smith, produced a hat, which the prosecutor said he believed to be his, though he could not swear to it. Thomas Shepherd, one of the detective force, stated that he had seen the prisoner at the public-house in Blackman-street, in the Borough, on the night in ques. tlon after the robbery, when he held a hat in his hand, whereas an hour before he had seen him with a cap in his hand. The prosecutor said that about twelve o'clock on the night-of the Bth he was in Blackman-street, when, at a certain part of the street, he saw about fourteen or fifteen persons on the pavement, who, as he approached then opened a lane for hini,,aa be .tholight, to pass. He had not gone far, however, before his hands were seized and held behind him, and immediately afterwards he bad all his money taken from his pockets. He called out for the police, and was directly struck on tho side of the head two or three times. The blows, how ever, did not stun him, and he still continued to call out. At the same time he was struck on the face, and. his lip was laid open. He was confident, that at the time of the attack, Pearson was on one side of him and Smith on the other. • _ . After hearing the evidence of another witness, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Previous convictions against both of them wero proved, and The RECORDER sentenced each of the prisoners to be transported for twenty years. Elvina Cheetham who had been tried with Elvina Bentley, her daughter, and convicted of stealing two silver candlesticks, from her master, Mr. Boughey Hep worth, after having been twenty-five years in his ser vice, was brought up for sentence, but as the prosecutor was not in attendance, it was deferred till the next sessions. This closed the business of the sessions, and the jury were dismissed with the thanks of the Court. NEW COURT. BURGLARY.—WiIIiam Edwards and William Baker were indicted with burglariously entering the dwelling house of 'Mr. Thomas Morris, in Turner-street, Bethnal green, and stealing therefrom various articles of wear ing apparel, and other property. It appeared that on Sunday, the 15th of the present month, the prosecutor and his wife went out about three o'cloCk P.M., leaving an elderly lady, named West, and her daughter, who were lodgers, in the house ; Mrs. West and her daughter also left shortly afterwards. On the prosecutor's return, about six o'clock, upon endeavour ing to open the door he discovered that it was bolted inside, and upon going round to the back part of the house he discovered the prisoner Baker getting over the wall and Edwards below. The property stolen was on the ground outside the wall, in a bag. The prisoner Baker was immediately taken into custody, and Ed wards was secured after a short chase. Mr. Iluddlestone conducted the case for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Payne and Mr. Ellis were counsel for the prisoners. The jury found both prisoners Guilty, and Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK sentenced Edwards to ten years' transportation and Biker to seven years. MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Edward O'Brien was placed at the bar, charged with being found on the premises of Mr. Wilcox, for the pur pose of committing a felony. Thomas Wilcox, licensed victualler, Bear-street, Lei cester-Equare, said the lodgcar next door came into his house about half-past eleven o'c',ock on Saturday night, and said he heard the cries of some men on his premises, as if calling out for help, and he supposed he must be in complainant's chimney. complainant got out on the leads, and looked down one #of the flues, and there cer tainly he saw the man at, the bar, who had evidently dropped in, with his hands helplessly extended above his head, and in that position. he had sunk till he could get no further. The prisoner said he, had been drinking and was tipsy, and fell into the r i tu e . Police-constable 52 C said he went to the top of the house and took the prisoner out of the flue. He was not drunk at the time, nor did he appear to havo been drinking. _ _ I'olica•constable 27 C knew the prisoner as the asso ciate of thieves. lie had been committed for two months to prison for stealing a copper. Mr. HARDWICK committed the prisoner for two months to the House of Correction, - for being on the premises for an unlawful purpose. CLERKENIVELL.—(THIS DAY.) A very respectable-.oohing young man, named 716nias Joyce, was chargee. with imhoently assaulting Ellen Yinell, under the following circumstances :—The prisoner and two companions were walking along the' old St. Pancras road, when they overtook the com- STAND BY-HIS MURDER OF A I S IMRE( TIY, SATURDAY NIG TIT.--T he discovery of n mysterious ease of poisoning in the village of Acton, a short distance fn n this town, within the last few days, has created the greatest sensation in this part of the county of Suffolk. The eircumstarces connected with it are of a very complicated character:—About a month ago a healthy loel:ing young man, named John Foster, 24 years of age, was married to Catherine Morley, aged 18, the daughter of a widow residing in the village. For three weeks they lived with the 'mother, apparently;on good:terms, when, on the afternoon of the 17th inst ehe complained of heartb urn an d s i c k ness, and in less than twenty-four hours expired. The sudden nature of the death having been communicated to Mr. Harry Way man, the Coroner for the county, an inquest was opened at the CrQwn Inn, in the village, on Saturday, the 21st instant. There being no suspicion entertained at this period that the death of the deceased was produced by poison, the young widow, Catherine Foster, was called in, end examined as to the circumstances attending her hus band's demise. She stated that she had been married to the deceased exactly three weeks on the day . of his death. He had been complaining of pains in his heed ever since their marriage. lie told her that about a fortnight after their wedding he had slipped off a lodd of hay, and had hurt himself very much in the back. On Sunday, the 15th inst., he complained much of the pain, and said he thought he must go to bed. On the following Tuesday night he spoke of being affected with heartburn, and was exceedingly sick. On Wed nesday morning he was too ill to get up, and she went to Mr. Jones, the surgeon, about him. She ought to have stated that at about nine o'clock on Tuesday , night he vomited and was purged, and during Wednesday he continued in the same state until within an hour of his death, which took place at four o'clock in the afternoon. It was after he had returned from his work on Tuesday evening that he complained of sickness. He bad supper with her and her brother. They had potatoes and hot dumpling. They had it about seven o'clock, and he first complained as he was drinking his last cup of tea. He went to bed between seven and eight o'clock, and in the course of an hour ho became sick. On. Wednesday he complained of a pain in his right side. All he - had on that day was some tea. Mr. Jones did not see him . until the afternoon. gave her two powders for him but only one was given. Befere he died she had ocea -, sion to remove him from the bed. Whilst doing so he fell• on his knees ; she put him in a chair, and he died•a few minutes afterwards. Her mother lived with her, but on the Tuesday she was out washing. 'Very important disclosures, it appears, were lore made to the Coroner by the surgeons. to the efret, the deceased . had died from the dr( (.:s of poison. Mr. Waym CD, the coroner, eccerdingly adjourned th ,- . ie. • gat. till the 24th instar:, so as to cliable a pest as. ,-tun examination of the body, and an anelysis of the con tents of the stomach, to be made. On the resmnption of the investigation, the eery-, havint , see been apprised of the probability eel the deee deatb ' being found to haec resulted frera arsenic, I Wa.3.:l!an deeired the widow to be called in, stud a: cautioning. her in the usual v ay, read the evidence which ;he Latl previously giver ; to v, rich she , ut her - - • beirg coi.ect. She then voluntarily sfaletl, that after !, the last day's proceedings she recollected her husband sayiug about a week before hi death at he had raised blood. There was but one dureplin4 for supper on the Tuesday night before her hue' and's death. On that day she beta dininz ,at her husband's mother's house; it was five o'clock bef ,re she Aot, home, and it was • after that when she made the du The flOur with which it was made was kept in a kneading trough, and part_of the same flour was still iu it. She had not 'used any of the flour sitee. When her husband was sick he vomited. She and her mother emptied it in a ditch in the yard. On the following Saturday three of their hens ,died; she.did not know from what. She saw them all alive on the Friday. Maria Morlef, the. mother of the wife, was'then called and examined. Sl-e deposed that her daughter and her husband lived at b T house; he went out to work early in the morning, anti returned at night to supper. On Tuesday, the 17th, she was out washing. She returned home shortly after seven o'clock, and found the deceased in bed. He said he had the heartburn, and was very sick. She sent her daughter for sixpennyworth of brandy, and put a part of it in some oatmeal gruel. Deceased took about two spoonsful of it, but could not keep it down. This was before eight o'clock. Before this be had been sick in a handbasin, but she did not notice what he threw up. After he was sick she emptied the handbasin on the dunghill in her yard. He vomited frequently during the night. She went to bed :that night between 11 and 12 o'clock. Her daughter slept in the same room with her in enother bed. The deceased was in a room by himself on the ground floor. Between three and four o'clock he called for some tea, and she made him some pep L yermint tea, and he drank three cups of it. After taking it he was very sick. She did not go to bed again; and ..c.t about ten o'clock she went to Sudbury, and ke turne d about an hour before his death. She did not Sup at home on Tuesday night. The deceased had known 1 her daughter three years. The short time they were ' married they appeared to live very happy. William Steed 'deposed that the deceased was Lis fellov-labourer. lie saw him on the afternoon of Tue slay, the 17th, when he seemed quite well. About a fortnight ago he saw the deceased shp from a waggon, but 7ae did not say he was much hurt. He bad known deceased ten years, and he always seemed a healthy man. Elizabeth Fester stated that the deceased was her sin. She had not seen him for two or three weeks before his dealt. His wife visited her on Tuesday, the 17th, and had dined with her. She left before four o'clock. Site said her husband had been very poorly all the night be fore. As she went out she said she must make haste home, as that was pudding night. Witness asked her if she rniide a pudding every night. She replied that she did not, but she should make her husband one that even ing. On the following day (Wednesday) witness called at her house. She cried and said she did not think he was uo bad as he was. She said she was alone with him and did not like to leave him. ThxmasMorley, a boy eight years of age, brother of the d.eceitsed's wife, corroborated his mother's testimony. He site some of the dumpling, and was not unwell. Jlis sister, wife of the deceased, made the tea an d cug it. Who at the deceased came in for his slyper he appe3r4d in a very healthy state and ate he rtily. His sister help etl everything. She served the deceased with t'eree cups of tea. He saw her put the sugar in it. 11 - to analysis of the contents of the stomach being uncle tsstood not to be co - rpleted, the proceedings:were' agaim adjourned till yesterday (Friday), when they were resumed at twelve o'clock, at the Crown Inn, be fore thie same jury. During the day the body was ex humed in order that it might undergo a close exami-• natioet by the medical gentleman engegedin the iequirv. Jeraes Pleasant, a labourer, deposed to the sound and healthy state of the deceased when he left work on the evening prior to his death. He teemed in the best spirits and f tang as he went along. 'MP. William Edmund Imq.. ' e, surgeon, of Bury St. Edm ands, on being sworn said. that on Monday last be assisted at the analysis of a comach and its contents, prodia.ced to him at his house by Mr. Jones. He under stood it to have been taken from - the body of the de ems ed. Mr. Newham, of the Suffolk Hospital, was with thee a. With a view of dotecting the presence of poison, they applied Renish's test, by which they clearly dis coy( wed arsenic, but nothing else. It was applied to som e of the fluid in the stomach, and was considered a very - conclusive test, Marsh's test was also applied to a portion of the same fluid, with the like result. He had no doubt whatever that the death of the person from whose. stomach the fluid so tested was taken must have resulted from the effects of arsenic. He detected no other poison in the stomach. He had that day examined the body of a man-exhumed in Acton churchyard; it had been previously opened. They first examined the kiduktys; both were very red, but one more so than the other. The mucous membrane of the intestines was in mealy parts covered with thick bloody mucous, and there were eohgestive patches in the left ventricle of the he art. Assuming that the stomach and its con tents b elonged to this body, he had no doubt what ever that these appearances denoted death by poison. That day he had been shown by Mr. Jones a por tion of the vena cava, he found a perforation and one or two other morbid appearances in it, but without knowing whether any blood or what quantity of blood exuclod from it, he could not say whether the death of the person to whom the vena cava belonged was occa sioned by the perforation and morbid diseases. The deceased appeared to be a particularly healthy subject. The first consequence which ensued on taking arsenic was the sensation of heartburn and 'sickness. These s ymp toms would come nn in a very few minutes after it was ti tken. He considered it utterly impo - sible that a persoi i could take a dose of arsenic sufficient to cause death, and afterwards eat heartily before he was taken ill. Virectly the arsenic takes effect nothing can be retained on the stomach. He had heard the statement of Catherine Foster, and the evidence of Maria Morley; they showed the symptoms of a person labouring under the effects of poison. A person labouring under the effects of arsenic for so many hours as in the preseut case would endure great agony. Mr. S. Newham, of tlie Suffolk Hospital, and Mr. B. Jones, surgeon, of Melford, confirm e d Mr. Image's tes timony. The latter gentleman stat e d th a t on tle morn ing of the day on which the d eceas ed di e d, hi s w if e called upon him and said that her husband had a bowel complaint. He sent her two powders. About five o'clock in the afternoon he went to the house and found the de ceased dead in bed. He asked several questions, which the wife answered in a satisfactory manner. The wife and mother told him that the deceased had been • - ufrering from sickness and a bowel complaint. After much other evidence had been adduced, The Learned CORONER addressed t!:e jury at scale length, and having dra:vn their•attention to the points of the evidence, they consulted together, anq re turned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Cat i herine Foster, the wife of the deceased, who was then committed to the county gaol at Bury St. Edmunds for trial at the ensuing asoizes. DEATH OF A LITERARY LADY.—MY.' Mills held an inquest on Saturday, at the Coronation, Seymour street, Euston-square, on the body of Mrs. Agnes Hall, aged seventy, of No. 5, Charles-street. Miss Agues Hall, daughter of the deceased, said, that her mother was the relict of a medical army officer, and had been an author,ss for forty years. When Dr. Aiken t dittd the Old Monthly Magazine she wrote very largely for it. She wrote for it latterly, for Fraser's Magazi ,, c, ari for some of Mr. C. Knight's publications.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - The interesting experiments noticed at various times in your columns, relative .to the intended bridge over the Menai Straits, appear principally to have been. directed to determine the capabilities of the iron tube to", sustain the weight of the trains intended to pass over it. No experiment having been reported showing it equal . to resisting the action of the wind when blowing a hurri cane fro:n 31•7501b5. to 46•8751b5., or probably . up 52.0831b5. to the superficial foot. In autumn of last year I was engaged on the sections of the then intended London and Holyhead direct railway, and I partici'. lady noticed at various places the immense masses ' rock that had been blown by storms from the ruountalh E ; and several in the Slioc - don Peas from a most terrific height ; one of which,. icy mensuren.lent, weighed '7OO tons. I always remarked that the beautiful suspensiosti: idge of er the Straits (r.!Jout 10 chains from the intendeil turtle', and near the c level), designed by the late eminent engineer, Telford, had Wen injured by the: : vibration of the chains and roadway in the many stortas it has withstood ; and erossbraces had been'fixed to the chains, rendered necessary to prevent the piers being' 'further injured, the very small surface exposed 'to 'the action of the wind being sufficient to cause injury to - such a stupendous structure. The immense surface of the intended tunnel, exposed at the same level (say 110 feet high in the centre of the tube), to the action of the g tremendous t s i o t o n r ma as s t t o h a t h t e r a t t g i b e u i I n a r t e for m S t b r a e i i t n s g , d u e d m o p a n te d d s : tbQ I remain, &c.
