This being in the instance of the young painter, to whom his parents were most devotedly at ached, gone through with perhaps more than usual dis plays of feeling on the part of all the parties concerned, he left with high hopes and brilliant expectations as to xis success in the practice of his art. On the second norning after leaving Plymouth, he arrived safe in Lon don ; and, notwithstanding the fatigue of so long a jour ney, and in spite of the loss of his usual rest for two nights on the top of a coach, when he got down in Ox ford-street, so strong was his enthusiasm, and so buoyant his hope, that instead of seeking repose, he left the inn and wandered through the Strand, and in passing in his tirogress a church open, he went in, and with a feeling I devotion fell on his knees, and having thanked God or his safe arrival in the metropolis, he prayed with irdour that he might be blessed and made successful in he establishment of a better school of art than was then 'dating. He rose from his knees, strengthened in his urpose, and so refreshed that, instead of going to bed e sat up the whole of the night making some drawings tom casts which ho had purchased in the course of his talk. On his arrival in London, his name was entered as a :udent of the Royal Academy—and here his abilities ad enthusiasm soon brought him into notice; through ie medium of Prince Hoare, he obtained an introduc on to the remarkably clever, but eccentric Fuseli. In '1 probability, his early introduction to Fuseli, who was sadatrong and blunt in his manners, had considerable ifluence on the susceptible mind of Hayden, who, it is rident, became an ardent admirer and imitator of his - lend; and thus he became like him, fearless and out soken—and as an artist, like him, a !dieted to exagge attitudes and drawing. In 1807, being then in the eeenty-first year of his age, he sent his first work to RoyalYe Academy. It was entitled " Joseph and Mary sating after a day's journey on the Road to Egypt, " rid was regarded by his friends as a pledge of his future minence and success. This picture having found a pur baser in a distinguished patron of the arts of that day, be as encouraged to attempt a still more ambitious task, ie result of which was "Dentatus," which was pur based almost as soon as complete, by Lord Mulgrave. 'his picture was regarded by his friends as a jus ification of the high estimate they had formed of his ewers, and did much toward establishing his reputation; evertheless, it was from circumstances connected with le exhibition of it, that his enmity to the Academy ori inated. He thus writes :—" By vote, the picture was nog in the great room, in Mr. Fuseli's presence. The lommittee promised Mr. Fuseli it should remain there. Le went out of town, and in the interval they re-voted, sok the picture down and placed it where there was sea no window. By this conduct my prospects were lighted for the time ; and it was not until I sent the me picture, the year after, to the British Institution, here it was hung at the head of the room, and got the seat prize, that I regained the confidence of Lord Mul. rave." This has the air of ill-treatment, and was re anted by Haydon ; and from that day his life was one attle with the Academy. His letters, hisconverstvions on 1, and his lectures alike breathed a spirit of war against ie Academy; while on the part of the academic:ans he imetinaes received, what with his feelings he could not gard as conciliatory treatment, and hence, instead of is being attracted towards, he was repelled still further om the body, by whom he considered himself to be ,dignantly treas, d, and thus be was induced to resolve reliance upon his own genius, and to determine to see hat he cculd produce without the Academy. And in s own words, in a letter addressed, about eighteen .onths since, to Mr. Edmund Fry, of Plymouth, when Iluding to the Academy :—" "their very attempt to rush me has given me an isolated reputation, which, as ie of a body, I could never have attained. Academies ere ever been a signal of distress, and all the greatest en appeared before they were founded in England. .or do I think the art will ever recover its genius till iey are reduced to schools again ; and alone, these are y principles of opposition, and I'll die in them." In 1809, " Dentatus," which is among the finest efforts 'his pencil, was exhibited, and attracted numerous.ad irers at Somerset House; and at this period the vigour his genius drew a number of friends around him. Sir -. Beaumont gave him a commission for a subject from hakspere's Macbeth. His "Judgment of Solomon" as, as we stated last week, bought by the late Sir Wm. Iford and Mr. Tingcombe ; his " Alexander Returning t Triumph after having Vanquished Bueephalus," was archased for 500 guineas by the Earl of Egremont ; Venus and Anchises" found a purchaser in Lord de 'abley, at 200 guineas, and some minor pictures ere equally well disposed of. In the midst of :s successes, is we find from his lett ers t h at Haydo still 'tamed the liveliest affection towards Plymouth, as hi s ative town; and on the other hand, it appears that Ply .outh had neither forgotten hire, nor became wholly , sensible of the honour of being associated with his ime; and hence we find, that at a meeting of the Mayor ad commonalty of the birough, held on the 26th of eptemb..r, 1816, the freedom of the town was presented Mr. Ilayd n, " as a testimony of respect for his dents, as displayed in his rtcent picture, " The Judg lent of Solomon." About this period he again sought admission to the .cademy, but had the mortification of standing two ections without a single vote in his favour. In his vn words—" When I was d.sposed to conciliate, they ere too sore to forgive," and so be became more violent his opposition. Besides the production of a great ember of pictures, he gave lessons to his pupils, amongst some occur the names of some of the most distinguished inters of the present age, viz , the Latalseers sEdwin, aeries ' and Thomas); Harvey, the designer ; 31aclise, )pe, Lance, Prentice. Eastlake, and others. He engaged in Cie controversy relative to the Elgin irbles with great earnestness and vehemence, and ereby attracted considerable notice, but lost some ends. In connexion with the Elgin marbles it may mentioned that early in 1818 he was requested rough M. M. Olenin, the president, to prepare a set of its for the Imperial Academy of Arts at St. Peters rgh. M. M. jlenin's letter was couched in the most ttering terms, and was accompanied as a mark of ;imation for Mr. llaj don's talents, by a present for his ivate study of some casts from the Imperial Collection a bust of Achilles, a beautiful statue of Venus, and e of Silenus, which were considered the finest things the collection of the Emperor of Russia. The letter ncluded by, expressing a hope that the correspondence us begun will not end, and that " Mr. Haydon will ntinue it for the benefit of the art in Russia." In 1821 he married Mrs. Hyman, then or lately of semisoft, who had the reputation of being one of the .est women in the comary, and to whom he was roughout his life most devoted,y attached. Mrs. aydon survives her gifted husband, as do also two sins d one daughter. The most remark Ale of his pictures to the period of his marries , , bes , des tho se a l rea d y mud, were two cartoons, entitled "Th e Curse," and Edward, the Black Prince," "Christ," " Ch r i s t i n the IRELAND. DUBLIN, JULY 5 DEPARTURE OF LORD HEYTESBURY. V. The departure of Lord Ifeytesbury has been arranged for to-morrow ; but it is stated, that in consequence of the receipt of an official communication yesterday, his Excellency is to remain until Monday, the 13th instant, and that an undress levee is to be held at the Castle in the forenoon of that day. RETURN OF THE EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON TO COVE. The Cork Examiner contains the following : "Coax, FRIDAY MORNING.—At nine o'clock this morning, a pilot, who was standing on the cliffs, sud denly announced that the expe"ted fleet were coming in the harbour ; but it was some time after, even with the aid of glasses, before they could be described by less practised eyes, for though the morning was fine, it was rather dark, and hazy, particularly out at sea ; but as they quickly neared, under the influence of a strong southerly wind, they rapidly lost their shadowy appearance, and took the sfape of goodly men of-war, with every stitch of canvass set. The St. Vincent led, closely followed, however, by the Queen ; the remainder, four in number, being far in the wake. All the ships quietly anchored in the man of-war roads, there being no firing, or any bustle on shore, except among the burnboat women, who, rigged out in new flaring toggery, were preparing to supply the fleet with bread, vegetables, &c. It is said here, %%ith what truth I know not, that their stay is to be of considerable duration. There is also another rumour, but one not so generally credited, for they believe the news is too good to be true'—namely, • that the fleet are to be paid off whilst here.' Just as I write, I per ceive two of her Majesty's steamers eoming into the harbour." THE IRISH MAGISTRACY. The Limerick Chronicle says :—"lrehare it from un doubted authority that the following letter was addressed by the Lard Chancellor to W. S. O'Brien, Esq., M.P., on the subject of his accusation against R. E. Phillips, Esq., magistrate of this county : " Minute of the Lord Chancellor upon the complaint against Mr. Phillips, J.P. " I have now before me a full note of the evidence of the witnesses on the trial of the action by M'Cor muck against Mr. Phillips, with a summary of the Judge's charge. The Learned Judge certifies to me that as the Judge who heard the evidence, and had an opportunity of observing the demeanour of the wit nesses, he should have found the same verdict had he been a juror in the case. I have attentively perused the evidence now before me, and reconsidered the case, and I do not feel myself called upon to take any further step 'a the matter. (Signed) " ' EDWARD B. RIG-DEN, C. " June 23, 1846.' " THE HARVEST.-FREE TRADE. Nothing could be more favourable than the weather, and the reports of the crops continue to afford the pro mise of abundance. But, nevertheless, prices are not very materially affected. Corn is somewhat lower, but butcher's meat and all other kinds of provisions are enormously high. Old potatoes are ls. 4d. to ls. Gd. per stone, fully treble the ordinary price ; and new po tates are 3d. to 4d. per plund ! Bread alone is mode rate in price, and the working people are living upon it, as far as their means enable them to purchase. The Coleraine Chronicle, a Tory paper, after givinc , cheering account of the crops, says:—" We trust that, in the coming winter, we shall have a cheap loaf, and yet care little for Corn Bills or foreign competition." The Limerick Chronicle, another Tory paper, says : " The reduction of 14s. per quarter in the duty upon wheat has had no apparent influence upon millers' and bakers' prices in this city. Generally speaking the local prices of corn, flour, and oatmeal are without material reduction. TUE ARMY—PRINCE GEORGE OF CAMBRIDGE. LIMERICK, JULY 4.—We are much concerned to hear that Major-General Lord Downes, K.C.8., the greatly esteemed commanding officer of this district, will resign his official charge here in October next. Major-General his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, Colonel of the 17th Lancers, is shortly to be appointed to the staff in Ireland, and wiU hold a district command, fixing his head-quarters, it is understood, in this garrison. DANGEROUS ILLNESS OF SIR AUBREY DE `'ERE, BART.—The Limerick Chronicle says :—" With unaf fected pain we record the dangerous illess of Sir Aubrey de Vcre, Bart., of Currah Chase, in this county. The surgeon-general posted down from Dublin on Thursday night, and instantly left this with Robert O'Brien, Esq., of Mulcair, the devoted son-in-law of Sir Aubrey, and ' found his patient alarmingly ill from obstruction of the bowels. Sir Philip Crampton returned to Limerick early yesterday (Friday) morning, with but little hope of Sir Aubrey's recovery, and left soon after en route to the metropolis. We regret to learn since that inflamma tion has set in, and the death of the worthy baronet is to be apprehended. Sir Aubrey de Vere early in life studied b , ,oks and tea.-n, in the closet and in the world. Though not a professed author, those tew literary pro ductions he committed to the press fully establish his title to considerable erudition and very elegant taste. Some of his poetry may rank with the best classic piece. in modern English literature. Sir Aubrey de Vere is only son of the late Sir Vere Hunt, who sat in the Irish Parliament, nephew of the late Earl of Limerick, and brother in-law of Lord Monteagle. His eldest son is Vere de Vere, Esq., late high sheriff of this county. FATAL ACCIDENT AT ROCHESTER.—OIt Monday, at midday, a small boat, yacht rigged, was observed from Ro • chester-bridge, sailing on the waters of the Medway under heavy canvass. When nearly opposite to the Castle, the wind blowing fresh, on a sudden she capsized, and the two men that were in her were seen struggling in the water, and before assistance could be procured they had sunk. The bodies were picked up about three hours after the accident, by George Ladbury, a waterman, and hie brother, by the ap plication of creepers. The names of the men whose lives are lost are Henry Macpherson, a married man, aged 34, living in St. Margaret's, in this city, and J oseph William Dives, aged 19, a native of the place. Macpherson could swim very well, and it is supposed that in endeavouring to save his com panion, whom he found to be drowning, he lost his own life. The body of the young man Dives was taken to the Queen's Arms, at the foot of the bridge, and the. other was conveyed to St. Margaret's, to await an inquest, which was held this merl ion at half-past ten o'clock. The boat being a very un safe sailer, was sold about a week ago (or Si, and it is stated that she was not fit to be used in this river. RoNFORD.—SETTING FIRE TO A PRlSON.—Patrick Conner, a private of the 11th Regiment of Foot, a deserter from his regiment (now in the East Indies), when on his way to the dep6t stationed at Chatham, was lodged in the prison of the Liberty of Romfird, on Saturday morning last, for the day and night. About the hour of six o'clock in the evening, tire and smoke were seen is- , uing from the cell where he was confined. Upon entering it, there was a dense body of smoke, and part of the bed and clothes were on fire. A supply of water was procured, and the fire extinguished. Mr. Southey, the gaoler, was much alarmed for the safety a the premises. The prisoner will, no doubt, be committed to the Yasizes to await his trial for the offence.--Ipswich ExpreSB EN CE. ROLLS' COURT, July 7. ROBECSON AND GILLET V. WALL, FLIGHT, ♦ND OTHERS. This was a motion, which was commenced yesterday, for leave to file a supplemental bill, with the view of putting in issue deeds, &c., which had been disclosed by an original supplemental answer of the defendants, in reply to a cross bill of discovery. Messrs. Turner and Rogers appeared in support of the mo tion, and Messrs. Kindersley and Chandless for the plaintiffs. Mr. TURNER said the original bill was filed against Wall, Flight, and others, for the purpose of enforcing the performance of a contract entered into by Wall, for the pur chase of the life interest in the estate of Sir Thos.Champeney, in right of his wife. It was alleged that the contract was entered into by Wall as Flight's agent; but Flight denied that any contract had ever been executed, or even if it had been, it was made under circumstances that would render it impossible for a decree of performance to be obtained against him. — The arguments were concluded to-day, and it was arranged by consent that two deeds, of August, 1830, and of Septem ber, 1840, should be considered as an issue in this cause. Messrs. Walpole, Bacon, and Rolt took their places within the bar, after the usual formalities, they having been recentl3 appointed Queen's Counsel. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 7. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN RE BRACE AND ALLEN. To-day was appointed for these bankrupts, who had carried on business as warehousemen, in Mitre-court, Milk •street, Chfapside, to come up to pass their last examination. Mr. REED, the solicitor to the fiat, said that although the bankrupts' accounts had been prepared, they bad not been filed, under circumstances which he had to relate to the Court, and was determined to do so in every similar case, as the evil he had to complain of was becoming continual and serious—it was that at the last moment the accountant had refused to give up the account, unless his charge, 151., was first paid without being taxed. The accounts only consisted of seven sheets, and the charge was five times as much as any solicitor would have made. The bankrupts, who bad no allowance, were unable to pay such a monstrous charge. The Learned COMMISSIONER said Mr. Reed had acted quite right in mentioning the subject. He (the Learned Commis sioner) had fer a long time looked with a jealous eye upon accountants, many, the greater number, were exceedingly remiss in their duty, and although some acted liberally, in seven cases out of ten, the accounts were made out unsatis factorily by them, through their not taking the accounts from the books but from imagination, and they were in many instances extortionate in their demands, applying the screw the moment the bankrupt was unprotected, and thus by forcing an adjournment, usurping the functions of the Court, and interfering with the course of justice. What he would advise in such cases, would be for the parties to throw the accountant overboard, and go to the official assignee, who would render every assistance. Mr. Pennell, the official assignee, did not see what diffi culty the bankrupts could have had in making up their own accounts. The Learned COMMIsSIONEn. said, that in nine cases out of ten accountants were not only unnecessary, but positively mischievous. Mr. REED said this was the third case within a very short time that he had had to make a similar complaint against the same accountant. The Accountant, who was present, said that he could not afford to lose his money. ' The COMMTSSIONER-LYOU should let the bankrupts know what the charges would be, or give them an opportunity to have the costs taxed; as it is, the examination must be ad journed, at an inconvenience to them and an expense to the estate. His HONOUR then appointed a day, observing, he should now only take the bankrupts' cwn account, which, generally speaking, was more satisfactory than those made up for appearances. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT OLD COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Alderman W. HUNTER.) RAILWAY ROBBIRIES.—It will be recollected that the man Farmer pleaded guilty to four different charges of rob bery from railway termini, two committed at the Birming ham Railway and two at the South-Eastern, from which property was stolen of very considerable value. Baron Rolfe, before whom he pleaded guilty, deferred sentence, till all the circumstances of the case should be brought before the Court on the trial of Mary Ann Newlands during the present session, who was committed for receiving the goods, knowing them to be stolen. Mary Ann Newlands was placed at the bar this morning on this indictment, and by the advice of her counsel (Mr. Clarkson) pleaded guilty. Mr. Bonmx, who appeared with Mr. Ballantine for the prosecutors, stated, that from all th e c i rcumstances of the case the male prisoner was evidently a man who was in the habit of visiting railway termini for the purpose of plunder; that in the case which had led to his detection, when he stole the property of Dr. Roberts, he was traced from Folkes tone to London on the train, and at the terminus was seen very busy with the luggage, which led to his being remon strated with ; but he succeeded in carrying off a portmanteau belonging to the gentleman already named. He made off with his booty by means of a cab, and after changing his vehicle several times arrived at last at a house in Sloane street, Chelsea. Mr. Bodkin said that the female prisoner was the mistress of this house in which the portmanteau in question was found, and a quantity of property besides of a character which led to the strongest suspicion that it was come by in a similar way • several articles of ' linen, for example, with the marks takeni out. Wh en i nqu i ry was made at this house for a man of the name of Farr, the woman denied all knowledge of such a person, notwithstand ing that this was an alias by which the prisoner was gene rally known. The prisoners were represented to the servants in the house as brother and sister, but it seems that they had lived on terms as man and wife. Mr. CLatmox stated that the woman was evidently in volved in the case, by the unhappy position in which she stood to the male prisoner; that previous to meeting with the man she bore a most respectable character, and was in service in a most respectable family. The Court sentenced the male prisoner to transportation beyond seas for seven years on each of the three indictments, making in all 2l years. The female prisoner was sentenced to six months' impri sonment and hard labour. George William Draper, 23, a young man of respectable appearance, lately a clerk in her Majesty's Stationary-office, was indicted for uttering a forged cheque for 54 with intent to defraud. Mr. Doane conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. The charge was clearly made out against the prisoner. He produced the cheque in question to a person named Wells, and asked him to give him change for it, and he did so; but upon the cheque being presented at Messrs. Currie, the bankers, it turned out to be a forgery. Mr. CLARKSON, on behalf of the prisoner, said he could not hope to escape a conviction, from the evidence that had been proved against him, and he could only urge in mitigation, that the prisoner is a very young man, and that he bad held a respectable situation in the Stationary-office of her Majesty, but in a moment of thoughtlessness he absented himself from the office for the purpose of going to Epsom races, and for this he was suspended, and ultimately lost his appointment, and be then committed this offence. He had previously borne a most excellent character, and no charge had ever been made against him until this time. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, and hard labour. Ferdinand Weiginer, 21, a German, was indicted for steal ing 477 fitch skins, and 731 squirrel tails, value 501, the pro pery of Adam Joseph Gayer; and Lemon Cohen, a Jew, was indicted for feloniously inciting and procuring the other prisoner to commit the robbery. Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Ballan tine defended the prisoner Cohen. It appeared from the evidence, that the prosecutor resides in Liquorpond-street, where he carries on the employment of what is called in the fur trade a chamber master, his occu pation being to make up the different skins for wholesale houses, and several persons were in his employ for that pur pose, among whom was the prisoner Weiginer. On the 22d of June Mr. Gayer received a letter, which afterwards turned out to be in the handwriting of Weiginer, requesting him to come to a place near Balham-hill to receive a parcel of furs, and which was evidently sent for the purpose of getting him out of the way, for very soon after he was gone Weiginer made an excuse to get a young woman, who was also in Mr. Gayer's service, to leave the house, and he then packed up a large quantity of furs, and took them away in a cab. In consequence, however, of . some information that had been received, he was pursued, and taken into custody, and the who'.e of the property was recovered. With respect to the other prisoner, it was shown that he was in communication with Weiginer, and on the Sunday before the robbery was committed he went to a person in the fur trade, named Houghton, and told him that he would get him a quantity of skins on the fol lowing day that were worth 501. or 601. for 16/. or 18/. ; but he said he should expect 5/. for himself out of the transaction. Houghton, it appeared, pretended to enter into the transaction, and made an appointment for the next day, and he then immediately gave the information which led to the detection of the other prisoner in the way stated. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both pri soners. The COMMON SERGEANT inquired if anything was known of Cohen's character independent of this transaction. A person got into the witness box, and said he had no doubt that Cohen had for a long time been the occasion of extensive plunder being practised upon the chamber masters in the fur trade, by inciting their servants to rob them. He had himself prosecuted him severel years ago, and just as the case was coming on the prisoner's friends contrived by a stratagem to get the witnesses out of the way, and Mr. Phillips who was his counsel, insisted upon the trial proceed ing, and the consequence was, that as there was no evidence he was acquitted. The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced both prisoners to be transported for ten years. Alfred Moody, a lad apparently about 18, was indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-house of Robert Crooks, and stealing three brooches and other articles his property. It appeared that the prosecutor and his wife went to bed on the night of the 2d June, leaving a window at the lower part of the house partly open, on account of the excessive heat which prevailed about that time. It would seem that the prisonor obtained admission to the house by means of this window, and he must then have gone into the prosecu tor's bed-room, where he and his wife were in bed, and stolen the articles in question. which had been placed in a pin cushion upon the dressing-table. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to be transported for seven years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Woods, an extensive fish salesman of Billingsgate market, was summoned before Alderman Gibbs, " for having," according to the words of the summons, " un lawfully sold to William Perkins, on the morning of SAturday, fifty mackarel, in Billingsgate market, the same being bad, unwholesome, and unfit for human food, against the statute," &c. Mr. Goldham, the clerk of Billingsgate Market, attended, the question being one in which the public, especially the poorer class.s, were stated to be seriously interested. The defendant having alone made his appearance at the bottom Of the table when the names of the parties were called by the officer of the Court, Alderman Giuns asked why the complainant was not present ? and no answer having been returned, desired that the summons should be dismissed. Mr. Woods hoped that the Alderman would not con clude the proceedings without hearing a statement of the facts, for the vindication of the great body of the sales• men, and the protection of the public. He had been accused of having sold bad fish, and it was in his power to prove at that moment that the complainant had actually substituted fish for that which bad been sold, and returned with the fish so substituted, in the hope of • obtaining back the money with which the purchase had been made. Alderman GIBBS observed that the defendant certainly must have some motive for staying away after having so deliberately complained of a violation of the law. It was not an uncommon practice, he knew, with some of the inferior dealers in Billingsgate market, to exchange, for the good fish they purchased, fish that was unfit fur use. Be should know how to deal with persons who resorted to such an expedient, if any such were brought before him,. Mr. Woods said, that apprehending the intention of the complainant not to appear in support of the sum mons, he had sent a message to Prescott, offering to pay all expenses if he would peremptorily come forward to prove his case. It appeared, however, that the complaint was to fall to the ground for want of evidence. Alderman GIBBs.—In cases of the kind the reference is to be made to Mr. Gold ham and the inspectors appointed by the general body of the fishmongers, who, if they are appealed to, will take care to protect the injured party. Mr. Goldham said that the complainant applied to him on Saturday, and produced some mackerel which he said was bad, and had been purchased of Mr. Woods by him. Finding that the fish was good, he (Mr. Goldhatn) stated his opinion to that effect, and desiring the man to select the worst mackerel in the lot, caused it to be cooked, and it was proved before Sir Chapman Marshall, on Monday, to be unexceptionable. Mr. Woods said he was salesman to one company, which employed twenty- five vessels for mackerel fish ing, and upwards of 300 men. Every one knew in how short a time mackarel became tainted in hot weather. It was, indeed, frt quently the case that in a very short time after purchases were made, the fish changed, and it would be most desirable to be informed how long a salesman wits responsible for the soundness of the ar ticle after delivery. The dealers were as g 'of judges as could easily be found of the quality of the article they dwelt in, and it was a trick with some of them to sell as many as they could, and to return with those which they could not sell, and after having knocked them about, to the great injury of their appearance, demand an amount of money corresponding with the all , -ged loss, &c. Between that practice, and the trick of sub stituting bad for good fish, as had been already stated, complaints of the kind were doing an immensity of mischief. Mr. Goldham said, there was no doubt of the truth of the representation made by the defendant, and of the effect of the practice described. If dealers brought to him any fish of which they complained, he and the in spectors, than whom none could be better judges, had only to decide upon its quality, and if that decision proved to be against it, it was destroyed. The great object of the salesmen now was, to know how long after the sale of fish they were to be responsible for its sound ness. Alderman Ginns said the absence of the complainant, and the consequent dismissal of the case, prevented him from going into the merits of the question ; but he should be ready to deal out impartial justice in any case involving the responsibility. It is necessary to mention, that frequent disturbances take place in Billingsgate market, on account of disputes referring to the above matter. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. Joseph Stott, a man of respectable• appearance, was charged with having conducted himself in an indecent way towards a lad named George Webb. The complainant said he lives in the Seven Dials, and is a labourer. He was in Hyle-park about i i o'clock on Saturday night, when he was accosted by the defendant, who acted indecently towards him. The defendant left him, and got over the park railings into the road. Complainant fol lowed him into a public-house, and after partaking of some beer with his they left the public-house together, and on meeting with a police-constable complainant gave the de fendant into custody. The defendant said he was entirely innocent of the scan dalous charge, which had been trumped up against him with a view to extort money. He had only been a week in Lon don, having come up from Oldham to obtain medical advice for a painful complaint under which he laboured. On Saturday evening he took a walk in Hyde-park, and having lost his way, he went up to the complainant to ask him to tell him when the park gate would be shut. He was imme diately surrounded and collared by four or five young men, who demanded his money on a threat of charging him with infamous practices. He got away from the gang, and went into a public-house and called for some beer. The com plainant came into the house, laid hold of the pot, and drank about half the contents. He left the house, followed by the complainant, and when he got into the street he saw three of the complainant's companions in the park standing in the street, and apparently watching his movements. De fendant was about to obtain the aid of the police, but he was antiepated in this by the complainant, charging him as de scribed. Mr. MALTaY directed a police-constable to make in quires into the character of the defendant at his lodgings. The police-constable, on his return, reported that the defendant's statement, as far as it could be corroborated, was correct. He had only been a week in town, and stated to his landlord the purpose for which he had left Oldham. Mr. MALTBY was informed that a respectable person had on Saturday been robbed o 14s. by a gang of persons resem bling those described by the defendant as having been in company with the complainant. The gang had made use of similar threats to obtain this money from the person in question. Mr. MALTBY, after mature deliberation, said, as the com plainant's statement was wholly unconfirmed, and as there were circumstances which created a reasonable doubt in his mind, he would discharge the defendant, leaving it open to the complainant to prefer an indictment if he thought fit. The defendant, on being liberated, declared his determina tion to proceed against the complainant for endeavouring to extort money from him. The complainant was accordingly given into custody, and the parties changed places. The prosecutor Stott related the circumstance of his ap plying to the prisoner Webb to show him the way out of the park; that Webb immediately gave a whistle, and five men came up, one of whom collared him, and they all demanded money. Prosecutor refused, and having a stick in his hand, he said he would use it if they did not let him go. He was released, and he then got out of the park, and went towards his lodgings in Blandford-street, followed by the prisoner. He went into a public-house, and called f,r some beer. The prisoner came in and drank some. Prosecutor went out of the public-house, followed by the prisoner, who whistled to his companions as soon as he got into the street. Prosecutor was about to enter his lodgings, when a police-constable came up, and took him into custody. A witness named Smith said he knew the prisoner by his nickname of "Number One." The prisoner was in the park on Saturday, and about four o'clock he got into conversation with an elderly gentleman. After talking together about five minutes, " Number One" made a signal to hi s com panion " Briclry," who ran up, and demanded the old gen tleman's " money." The old gentleman gave "Bricky" The prisoner and three others divided the money. The prisoner had also admitted to witness that he would not have given the complainant into custody had he given him money. Remanded till Monday next. WORSHIP-STREET. Two Germans, named Jun Brunies and Heinrich Jlfohr, were placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with cutting and wounding a master ekindresser, named Heinrich Arnott, living at Whitechapel, and inflicting numerous wounds on his head. It appeared from the evidence, that a feud had for some months past subsisted between two parties of High and Low Dutch German skindressers and sugarbakers, living in White chapel and Spitalfields, and, notwithstanding the prover bially peaceful character of that nation, seemed to have been pursued among them with as much heat and animosity as any between neighbouring Irish provinces. On Saturday night, about 12 o'clock, a serious disturbance, but how originating was not by any means lucidly explained by any of the numerous spluttering and excited witnesses, though all earnestly endeavoured to do do so, suddenly arose about some children of a German woman named Wahl between the two prisoners, one Konrad Schwartz, and some workmen in Mr. Arnott's employment, and some threats having been uttered against the life of the prose cutor, who had not at all interfered or been even present, but was quietly paying his men at a public-house in an adjoining street, he, although apprised that he would be murdered if he did go, with more courage than discretion instantly went to the scene of disorder, called Frosty-court, to protect Isis men, and get them out of the quarrel. The moment he bad entered the court, however, and before he had time to utter a word, he was brought to the ground by a blow on the head from some one behind him, and upoa rising was immediately set upon by the prisoners and Konrad Schwartz, who beat him severely, and one of them, who had a knife in his hand, stabbed him with it a number of times in the head, leaving six wounds, which he now exhibited; but who it was that inflicted the injuries he could not tell with any certainty, as the blood was pouring down his face and prevented his seeing ; but he thought it was Mohr, as he had been most active in the attack, and he also inferred it was he from a knife being found in his pocket at the station. How he ulti mately escaped from the encounter it was impossible to make out ; but the police somehow got apprised of the disturbance, and on coming up found Arnott and one of his men covered with blood, and the prisoners being pointed out as the moss violent were forthwith secured, and after some resistance car ried off to the station. Engelbrecht Geffkie, the workman just alluded to, a stolid immovable German, whose utter apathy when there was something to be excited about, and vehement warmth when there was nothing, kept every one but the magistrate, not withstanding the serious nature of the charge, in incessant laughter, very quaintly related the share he had in the transaction ; and the substance of his statement was, that he and his wife were going home with a can full of porter, when a breathless boy stopped him and entreated he would go back as his master was being murdered, and was smothered with blood. " Ferry well," said the witness ; " but I shall ko home mid dis pier, and den I shall kom see into it ;" and home he actually went. He displayed some alacrity, how ever, in getting back, and on entering the court found four men, of whom he could only identify Mohr, " hammering" his master on the head. With some difficulty he rescued Mr. Arnott from his assailants, in neither of whose hands did he notice a knife; but he felt convinced that one had been used, as Arnott was bleeding profusely, and while turn ing to leave he himself received a stab in the neck from some body, to which he drew the magistrate's attention ; but, with his habitual coolness, although the wound did not ap pear a very sli g h t one, it had not struck him to apply to a surgeon to dress it. Jane Jagers, Jacob Jung, and police-constable 182 K, all deposed to the serious nature of the fight or rather melee, in which more than 100 people took part on one side or the other, but tho ug h each of the witnesses saw both t h e pro secutor and Geffkie:with the blood streaming down from their wounds, they w ere a ll i ncapable of throwing the origin of the a ff ray. a The prisoners, th rough a very i n t e lligent interpreter, generally denied a ll th at was said against them, any light upon and endea voured to prove that it was they who had most cause o f com plaint, as they had b een struck and maltreate d i n th e first instance, and called tw o G ermans, named Konra d D ee r and Martin Greigh, and a Belgian, named .IJrge Peinter, as wit nesses, who certainly nearly deposed to that much, entirely exculpating Brunies, who was ordered on their evidence to t be discharged, and gave it as their opinion that Mohr bad not been so criminal as represented, they could not say who it was that h a d stabbed the prosec utor and Geffkie, if he had not. Mr. BROUGIFTON never recollected a case in which there was so much contusion and difficulty at arriving at the truth. It was quite manifest that the two witnesses had been severely injured, but it was still a matter of doubt w h o h a d caused their wound s , and he should therefore a djourn the case till that d a y wee k , accepting responsible bail for the prisoner Mohr' s a tt en d ance at the next exam ination; and in the meantime the p o li ce must exert themselves to procure more positive evidence as to who it was in reality who had stabbed the prosecutor iu the manner described. LAW 1 ' The bail was immediately found, and Mohr, who was very respectably dressed, was accordingly liberated. THAMES. A wretched-looking woman, named Diana Selby, aged 48 years, was brought before Mr. Broderip, charged with at tempting to commit suicide. It appeared from the evidence, that on Sunday afternoon a young man named James Francis, of No. 3, Kirk-row, Limehouse, whose dwelling fronts the Regent's Canal, heard cries of help, and was informed that a woman had just thrown herself into the water. He rushed down stairs im mediately, and, without divesting himself of his apparel, boldly plunged into the stream. The woman had disap peared, and he dived after her and brought her up. She made a convulsive grasp at his neck, and he was compelled to make her let go her hold, and she sunk beneath the water again, until he partially recovered himself, and re• moved his neckcloth. when he again went down after her, and soon rose with her in his arms. With great difficulty the young mm succeeded in bringing her on shore, and she was immediately conveyed to the Edinburgh Castle Tavern and Tea-gardens, and while the pt ople belonging to the house were stripping her of her wet clothes, others went after a medical gentleman. One soon arrived in the person of Mr. Willis, a surgeon, and although there were no signs of life when he first saw the woman, he persevered for two hours in applying the remedies necessary in such cases, in which he was ably seconded by Francis and others, and by their united exertions the woman was restored. A police constable named Earie, 355 K, procured some dry clothing for the poor creature, and caused her to be removed to the station-house, where she was well looked after. The police man ascertained that the woman had suffered the extremes of misery and want, that she was separated from her hus band, and that she had not tasted food for 24 hours, and had no means of procuring a meal, when she made the attempt to terminate her miseries and life together. The prisoner, in her defence, said that distress urged her to attempt self-destruction. She was separated from her husband, who allowed her, through the relieving offic e r o f Limehouse, 35. pe r week. She generally received this small sum every Saturday, but on calling for it on Saturday last, she was informed her husband had not left her the money. She then asked for some relief, which was denied her, and she wandered about the streets till Sunday evening, when she became completely wearied out and jumped into the canal. Mr. Bsonsrmr saii if the statement of the woman was correct she was an object of commiseration, but he hoped she heartily and sincerely repented of the rash and wicked attempt on her life. The prisoner said she was very sorry for what she had done, and promised not to repeat the offence. Mr. BRODERIP, after admonishing the prisoner in a very impressive manner, said she owed her life to the courage and skill of the young man Francis, and he was very sorry he had it not in his power to reward him according to his de serts, but on applying at the clerk's office he would receive compensation for his loss of time. He directed the police man to accompany the woman to the relieving officer of Limehouse, who was bound to look to her, and if her husband refused to maintain her, he must be proceeded against accord ing to law. The poor woman was subsequently admitted into the union-house. She is the foukth person rescued from drown ing by the young man Francis MURDER NEAR NOTTINGHAM. NOTTINGHAM, MONDAY.—A report reached this town on Sunday evening that a man had been found a few hours before murdered in Popplewick forest, distant eight miles from the town of Nottingham. On inquiry at the village, which is situate in a north-westerly direction, and adjoins the ancient forest of Sherwood, it was found that information had been given to the coroner that a body had been found, and that he had directed a jury to be summoned immediately. On looking at the body, which lay in a stable, little doubt existed in the minds of all who saw it that a murder had been committed. On the left cheek was a large gash, nearly two inches in length and of considerable depth, from which a quantity of blood had flowed, and filled the nostrils and mouth and under the right ear; at the seat of the jugular vein was a large incised wound, covered with blood. On the right and left shoulder and breast were several severe bruises, and some scratches ; but the latter may have been made by an animal while the body lay upon the ground. Popplewick is a very small village, and a diffi culty arose in viewing the body, as there is no surgeon resident nearer than Bulwell, five miles distant. The corpse was that of William Robinson, aged 34 years, a carrier in the employ of Mrs. Smith, of Mansfield; but how he came by his thath is at present involved in mystery. On Saturday last Robinson set out as usual in the morning from Mansfield to Nottingham, with his waggon and three horses, and in the evening he left the Shakspere public-house in the latter town, to return with his load of goods, in company with an agricultural laheiirer, Henry Shepherd, of Calverton. They set out from Nottingham at half-past six o'clock, and, according to Shepherd's account, they went on the road to the White Hart, at Redhill, four miles from Nottingham, where they stopped to have a pint of ale. Having drunk this, they drove as far as the seventh milestone on the Mans field road, where they both got out of the waggon ; it was then about half-past eight o'clock, and quite light. At this place Robinson set his dog at liberty, and, carrying his jacket on his arm, lingered behind, saying he would put it on. Shepherd drove the horses, and proceeded. When lie had got about a mile, not seeing Robinson, he stopped the waggon, and shouted for him, and waited half ae hour; he then drove on to the Hut, frequently looking behind him and shouting. On arriving at the hut he had a pint of ale. and told the people he expected the carrier ; after waiting an hour, the landlord, Mr. Mealey, advised him to go on to Mansfield, which he did, and arrived there between two and three o'clock in the morning. He told Mrs. Smith that he had left her servant behind him, and then went and told Mrs. Robinson. Samuel Townrow, a neigh bour to the carrier, was called up directly afterwards, and requested by Mrs. Robinson to go and seek for her husband. At five o'clock William Dove, framework-knitter, of Arnold, and his two brothers were walking on the high road from that village to Mansfield, and near the seventh milestone they found a jacket and a whip, which they took up, and not seeing anybody about. they carried them away. As soon as they got into the forest, it seems they turned on to the foot-. path, which leaves the high road, and proceeded to the Hut, near which place they met Townrow, and in reply to his questions told hint they had not seen anybody, but had found a waistcoat and a whip; on showing the articles they were recognised as belonging to Robinson. Townrow then pro ceeded on the road, and 200 or 3CO yards off, before he reached the eighth milestone from Nottingham, he saw Ro • binson's dog. The animal barked, growled, and ran as if he wished to prevent Townrow going forward; after a good deal of caressing, the dog permitted him to go on, and he ver soon saw Robinson stretched on his back upon the road, with his fare covered with blood, and quite dead. He lay about two yards from the centre of the road, and appeared to have been dragged two or three yards. A pool of blood, from hi s head, lay near him, and another pool about a yard distant. The left hand of the deceased was covered with blood, and his shirt-sleeves, which were turned up, were both besmeared with blood, particularly the right sleeve. Information was quickly conveyed to Popplewick, which is about a mile from the fatal spot, and a constable pro ceeded to convey the body to his house, where the jury were empanelled at half-past six in the evening. Robinson had 19s. in silver and 3d. in copper found in his pockets, and some memorandums; but whether he ought to have had more money about him is not yet known, and from the cir cumstance of his dog having kept the man at bay for a con siderable length of time, it is impossible to say whether dur ing the conflict the dog was not a very troublesome assailant on behalf of his master. Shepherd was brought before the coroner, and told his tale. On taking off his jacket two or three spots of blood were found inside upon the lining, and his shirt was very dirty on the right sleeve and shoulder, and on the wristband there was a little blood. He accounted for these marks by stating, that they were made while fight ing with a servant-man on the preceding Thursday. It ap pears that for twenty. five years Shepherd has borne a good character, and left his situation on the day he fought. His master, Mr. Houghton, of Nuttall, paid him 31. 155., the balance of his wages. The manner in which Shepherd made his statement, and the circumstance of his being lame, and a much smaller man than Robinson, gave an impression much in his favour. After 10 o'clock a person came into the room, and stated to the coroner that a woman residing at Colonel Coape's, which is within sight of the place where Robinson was found, had just sent word that at the very hour which Shepherd had described as the time he left Robinson, she saw three men in the forest scuffling together. The lateness of the hour, and Colonel Coape's house being nearly a mile and a half distant, prevented a messenger being dispatched fur her at that time, but directions were given for her to be summoned for the next day. The circumstances being al together involved in mystery, and of so serious a character, t he inquest was adjourned to this day (Monday), at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. A post mortem examina!ion of the body will in the meantime take pla ce , an d a r i gi d inquiry will be instituted. THE LATE MURDER OF THE POLICE-CONSTABLE. DAGICNITAM, MONDAY EVENING.--The painful interest manifested in the fate of the unfortunate victim of the hor -eible and atrocious murder, the main particulars connected with which appeared in The Sun of Monday, had, during Sunday and throughout the whole of Monday, considerably increased, and a large number of the inhabitants from Rom ford, Ilford, Barking, Chigwell, Hornchurch, and the sur rounding villages, visited Dagenham for the purpose of view ing the scene of the assassination. Immediately after the conclusion of the inquest on the body of the unfortunate man Clarke, on Saturday evening, an active search was instituted by the pollee in the corn field belonging to Mr. Collier, where the murder was per petrated, for the purpose of ascertaining what had become of his hat, which up to that period had not been discovered. In consequence of this circumstance, it was generally sup posed that the deceased must in the first instance have been assaulted, and then followed his assailants to the field where he was found murdered. Although the spot and the adjoin ing fields were minutely searched, it was not until Sunday evening that the hat was discovered. It was then found by a labouring man, named Thomas Palmer, lying amongst the wheat, about twelve or fourteen yards from the spot where the body had lain. At this particular part of the field the wheat had not been at all disturbed or trampled upon, show ing, i❑ the first place, the ruffians must either have knocked the deceased's hat off with so powerful a blow as to have sent it such a distance. or that that they must have thrown it there. The former supposition is strengthened by the circumstance of th e hat not being injured in the slightest de gree, and also that, when found, the deceased's handker chief was in it. On the receipt of intelligence of 'the outrage at Scotland yard, two of the most active officers of the detective police force were sent down to Dagenham, and, alter viewing the place where the murder bad occurred, and making them selves thoroughly masters of all the circumstances which had up to that period transpired in connexion with it, they proceeded with some of the local constables to visit Romford and the surrounding villages in search of the suspected mur derers. During Saturday evening the various public-houses and beer-shops were visited by the police in plain clothes, and their occupants subjected to a scrutinising inspection, it being believed that in the desperate struggle which had ap parently taken place, some of those engaged in it must have been wounded. Although the topic of conversation in nearly every instance was the circumstance of the murder, and what had been done at the inquest that day, still r:othing transpired which actually tended to fix suspicion on any one beyond the person alluded to in this journal of yesterday. The search was continued throughout Sunday and yester day, and although up to the period of writing this no one had been apprehended on the charge, still several notorious characters living in this part of th,-; county of Essex were under the strict surveillance of the police. With reference to the causes which had induced the mur der, it is the opinion of every one residing near the spot, and of the police themselves, that the deceased was mistaken for Police-constable Butfoy, K 140, who was his predecessor on the same beat, or Sergeant Parsons, who has rendered him self obnoxious to some of the notorious characters in the neighbourhood by bringing them up frequently before the Ilford bench of magistrates for drunken and disorderly con duct. A short time since one of the gang suspected of having been engaged in the murder was brought up to Ilford, charged by Parsons with having stolen a quantity of hemlock, but the prosecutor not appearing, he was on that ground discharged. kle was Una charged with imitlg quantity of brass and metal in his possession without being able to account for it. The magistrates, in consequence of there being some pewter pots belonging to publicans in the neighbourhood amongst the metal, inflicted a small fine, and advised the accused to be more careful for the future. On the morning of the murder a woman named Page, who was present at the inquest on Saturday, but was not examined, residing in a cottage a short distance from where it took place, states that about three o'clock she was awoke by the violent barking of her dogs in the yard, and on lis tening to it she heard a cry for help ; but the continual bark ing of the dogs prevented her from hearing anything more distinctly. Whilst the constables were busy in reference to the murder on Saturday, information was received by the principal officer of another constable, of the same division, named George Hall, aged 20, belonging to the Ilford station, having been killed. The unfortunate man in this instance, who had only been four months married, had been on duty all day on Friday at Fairlop Fair, and at two o'clock on Saturday morning was returning on horseback from it, when his horse shied, and threw him on his Lead. He was assisted by a brother constable, named Corbyn, No. 100 K, who had been on duty with him, to Barking side, whence he was removed to his residence at Ilford. Mr. Abison, a surgeon, attended him, and found a dreadful fracture on the left side of the head, under the ear. He continued to attend him until half past twelve o'clock on the same day, when he died. An in quest was held yesterday by Mr. C. C. Levis, the coroner, at the Rose and Crown, Ilford, on the body, and a verdict of " Accidental death" wa s re t urne d . The deceased had been on duty from eleven o'clock on the Friday morning, and was supposed to be asleep when his horse shied. Up to the time at which our reporter left Dagenham on Monday, the murderers had not been apprehended; and it is understood that an immediate application will be made to Government to offer a reward for their apprehension. MURDER AT KINETON, WAR, WICKSIIIRE. LEAMINGTON, MONDAY EVaNLva. Another murder, which at present is involved in as much mystery as that which occurred at Berkswell, in this county, some months ago, is just reported here, as having been committed close to Kineton, a market town lying between Banbury and Strat ford-upon-Avon. The occurrence has caused the greatest consternation in the town and neighbourhood, where the deceased (William Chater) was well known, being a blacksmith and machine maker, aged 53, residing at Cornbrooke, near Kineton, with a decrepid mother of above 80 years, who had been confined to her bed for the past ten years. An inquest upon the body was taken before Mr. George C. Greenway, coroner, this day, at the Swan Inn, Kineton, when we gathered the subjoined particulars:— Samuel Adkins, landlord of the Rose and Crown, Kineton, said—On Tuesday, the 30th of June, there was an Odd Fellows' feast held at my house ; some of the members were there on the following day. The deceased, William Chater, came about half-past twelve o'clock on the Wednesday, and stayed half an hour, during which time he had some bread and cheese. He then left, and returned about six o'clock in the evening, when he joined the company in the club-room, who were drinking ale and porter. About nine o'clock he went into the yard, and remained there about half an hour, and then lett the house rather in liquor, but walking pretty well. He went out by the back way, and no one was with him. I saw him off the premises. There were seven or eight people in the lodge-room when he left, and lodgers in dif ferent parts of the house. I did not see any money in his possession whilst he was at the house. He complained of being short of money, but witness, though he knew he had paid for what he had, did not see him with any money, and never saw him again alive. His body was brought in be tween three and four o'clock the next morning. Witness's house was clear of all company, except the lodgers, at ten o'clock. Thomas Furnell, a groom to Mr. Brown, surgeon, of Kine ton, deposed to having seen the deceased on the Wednesday evening alluded to standing against Mr. Winter's shop, vomiting, and to 'all appearance intoxicated. Witness ad vised him to go into the Swan and sit down, but witness re. plied that he would go home. Martin Wisdom, the younger, said—l am a carrier, liv ing at Kineton. I knew the deceased. I saw him in the Odd Fellows' club-room at the Rose and Crown, on Wednesday afternoon. I saw him there from three to five o'clock. He was quite sober, but I believe be was drinking. There were five or six persona in the room. I left a little before six. I left the deceased there. I was in the town half-an-hour afterwards, and stayed until nine o'clock. I went home to bed. I got up at eleven to go with a horse to meet my father at the bottom of Friz-hill, near Wellesbourne. As I went up Pittern-hill I heard groaning, and saw some one lying under the hedge. I spoke two or three times and got no answer. I got on the horse and looked in the person's face. I saw it was Chater. I thought he was "fresh," and that I would let him alone, I did not observe any wound or injury to his face. It was rather dark, but light enough to see it was deceased, and 1 knew him by his dress, having seen him in the afternoon. I went on till I met the cart on this side of Wellesbourne turnpike-gate. I waited for the cart about 300 yards from the gate. I waited half an hour. As we were coining home, which must have been about two o'clock, I told my father I had seen deceased lying on the road quite " fresh." When we came to Pittern-hill we found him where I had left him ; he lay upon his left side, with his head towards the hedge. My father placed him against the bank. He was quite speechless ; he was much injured about the head. The blood ran out of his mouth. and there was a rattling in the throat. We took the load home, as we had no room for the deceased, and called up Mr. Brown, a surgeon, and the constable, and then took back the empty cart, and brought deceased to the Rose and Crown. He was then alive, but insensible. John Mayor Brown sworn—l am a surgeon at Kineton. I was called up to the deceased by last witness, on Thursday morning, about half-past 2 o'clock. I proceeded imme diately to the spot, Wisdom following with his cart ; I found Chater lying by the road-side ;I at first thought that he was intoxicated, he was in a complete state of stupor, cold, and insensible. I had him placed in Wisdom's cart, and conveyed to the Rose and Crown. On examining him, I found a wound on his forehead, the right eye was black and swollen, there was a great contusion on the right side of his head. I gave him brandy, bled him, put him to bed, and staid with him several hours. He did not get warm. I saw him several times on Thursday. He never recovered from his state of insensibility, and died about 8 o'clock on Friday morning. I made a post mortem examination, and found the parts much contused, and a severe fracture of the skull. On the right side there was a depression of the skull on the brain, 3i inches by .2i, the fractured portion of bone being forced on the br .in ; the back part of the temporal bone was br..ken, and the fracture extended round the head, from one ear to the other. [Several portions of the skull which had been forced on the brain were produced by the surgeon to the jury.] The cause of death was fracture of the skull, which could not arise from a drunken man ou foot falling on his head. I consider the fracture and injury arose from a blow given with violence by some blunt instrument. The dirt from the fall was on the left side, the injury on his right ; the right lappet of his coat was torn. The deceased, I am fully of opinion, could not have inflicted the injuries himself. The verdict of the jury was " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." The hat and coat of the deceased were produced by the constable; the left side of the coat was dirty, as if from a fall: only a few pence were found in his pocket, and an empty purse; also some soap which he had purchased at Kineton ' where he had been spending the aft ernoon. H e had in his possession a packet of coffee, which was strewed on the ground near to where he was found, evidently as if a struggle had taken place. His walking -stick was lying broken in the road. The magistrates of the neighbourhood, Mr. E. B. King, Colonel Miller, Rev. C. Palmer, &c., have been indefatigable in their exertions to trace the murderer, whose object does not appear to have been plunder, but bloodshed. The de ceased was of a quarrelsome, disposition, often engaged in disputes with his workmen, &c., before the justices of the locality; and some of the persons with whom ho has been thus engaged have been known to threaten him. MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY COLONIAL. SUGAR.—OnIy about 150 hhds British Plantation have been sold, and again at lower prices. The public sales have only offered 175 bags Madras, which sold at 42s to 43s for good brown, being also is to 2s cheaper.
