SINGULAR DISCO VE..11 Y OF A ,OBBERY COMMITTED FOUR YEARS AGO. During the last week a transaction, which for four years 'ma - been enveloped in mystery, was brought to light in rather a singular manner. In August, 1812, a Mr. John Browning posted a letter at Iluthin, in North Wales, containing a bank note for 201., one for lei. and a Post-office o rd er fir I/. 18g. Gd. It as addressed to his niece, Miss Sarah Browning, 15, Summer-street, Navigation-street, Birmingham ; and he, in a few days after, being astonished that no acknowledgment of its receipt was made to him, wrote to his niece on the matter. It was then discovered that the letter had not been received ; and although ho communicated with the Post-office authorities, and for warded the dates, amounts, and numbers of the notes, of which he had made a me morandum at the time he posted the letter, and even put on the back of the 101. note his initials and the date, no trace of the letter or its contents could be discovered. The matter thus remained in mystery until Tuesday last, when a 10/. note was sent from the Bank of England to the authorities at the General Post-office, as one of the notes which had been contained in Mr. Browning's letter. A. rigorous inquiry was immediately instituted, when it was discovered that the note had been paid into the bank of Messrs. Spooner and Attwood, Birmingham, on the 19th of September last. On that day Misses Jordan and Schofield, milliners, High-street, sent money and an advice to meet a bill amounting to 141. Is. Gd., consist ing of a 51. note and the rest in cash. A man named Henry Ivatts, who had been a letter-carrier in 1842, but had been discharged for some act of insubordination, and who was in the habit of going messages for them, took the money in question to the bank. He came that morn ing, as he had been requested to do, to go to the bank; but Miss Jordan, having occasion to go out, went in stead. In a few minutes after she had gone, Ivatts came to the shop, and finding that Miss Jordan had taken the money, he ran after her, overtook her, and went to the bank himself. Mr. Edwards, the clerk, took the money, which then consisted of a 10/, note and some silver, and, as usual, marked the note. It was then sent to London, and discovered to be one of the missing notes. Miss Schofield having been waited on regarding the matter, asked Ivatts about it, when he said that he had found the note in New-street, on the Wednesday of Wolverhampton races, and that wishing to have it changed, he took the 51. note and 51. in cash from the bag in which she sent the money to the bank, and substituted the note in question. Ivatts was then apprehended, and brought before the magistrates (R. Spooner, Esq., M.P., J. James, and Thomas Beilby, Esqrs.), at the public office on Monday. Mr. Spurrier appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Harding for the defence. The case was gone into at considerable length, and the note fully identified. The prisoner bad always borne a good character, and it ap peared that Summer-street was not in his district, at though it was stated all the letter-carriers sorted the letters in one room. Tho case was remanded till Thurs day, when Ivatts was fully committed to the assizes. He was, however, admitted to bail, being himself bound over in 1001, and Captain Leary (under whom Ivatts had served for twenty-six years), and Mr. C. Purcell, Nel son -street West, in 501. each.—Birmingham Journal. CORONER'S INQUEST. THE MARGATE SEA-BATHING INFIRMARY.—An in quest was commenced before Mr. Mills, on Wednesday, the 30th September, at the Rod House, College-street, Chelsea, on the body of Elizabeth Cotton, aged 15, daughter of Mr. Cotton, oilman, Chelsea, who died on September 25th. The statements made on that occasion involving certain charges against the treatment which the deceased had received in the Royal Margate Sea bathing Infirmary, from whence she had been brought shortly before her death, the inquest was adjourned for the attendance of Mr. Field, the surgeon of that esta blishment. On Wednesday, at ten o'clock, the jury were re-as sembled, arid the inquiry proceeded, Mr. Field, a nurse, and the secretary of the infirmary, being present. Mr. Cotton, oilman, 3, College-terrace, Chelsea, stated that deceased had been ill for a long time, and had been sent to St. George's and the Wesminster Hospitals, and Mr. Goodrich, surgeon, of Chelsea, recommended him to get her admitted into the Margate Sea-bathing In firmary. His daughter was suffering from curved spine and scrofulous habit. Witness obtained the admission to the infirmary by a letter from the Duchess of Kent, and paid ss. 9J. a week for expenses. Deceased re mained there till the 16th of September, when, as she did not improve, she was brought home. The next day after her return his wife told him she had discovered the existence of a dreadful sore in her daughter's back, and Mr. Goodrich was sent for to see her. After being at home a week she sunk rapidly, and died on the 25th! Mr. Francis Goodrich, surgeon, stated that on visiting the deceased, on her return from Margate, she com plained of sores on her back, which she said arose in consequence of a " bed-pan" being left under her for three days and nights, being removed night and morn ing, and then replaced, while she was ill with diarrhoea, notwithstanding that finding her back sore from the pressure she had applied for its removal. Coaostaa—This is not legal evidence unless the girl knew she was dying. Mr. Goodrich—l believe that was her firm impres sion, sir. Mr. Goodrich read a statement (signed by himself and Mr. Warder, another surgeon), stating, that on post mortem examination they found all the organs of the body perfectly healthy, and giving in detail the horrible appearance of the sores. They considered the sores the cause of death. Mr. Alfred George Field, resident surgeon of the in firmary, stated that the deceased was admitted into the establishment having curvature of the spine, with para lysis of the lower extremities. She was ordered a course of bathing and tonics, and his attention was called to her daily. Only knew of the sore existing a few days before she left, and attributed it to the effects of her disease. There is a water-bed in their establishment, but it is not used. There is no air-bed. The mattresses are of straw; for as it is a summer establishment, their object is to keep the patients cool. Sarah Fagg, a nurse, stated that she acted under Mrs. Perry, the head nurse. Remembered the deceased being confined to her bed. She had herself asked witness for the bed-pan. This was placed in her bed, but was only there twenty-four hours, during which time it was moved two or three times. Witness covered the edges of it with a linen cloth. At the end of the twenty-four hours, observing a red mark on the girl's body, she re moved it, though against the wishes of deceased. Mr. Mills, addressing the jury, observed upon the ♦ery conflicting nature of the testimony. It was for the jury to decide whether the sores were the cause of death, and also whether they believed that they arose from improper treatment. The jury retired to consider their verdict, and in half an hour returned the following :—" We find the cause of death arose from the injudicious use of a bed-pan in the Royal Margate Sea-bathing Infirmary, and we are further of opinion that there has been gross neglect on the part of the surgeon and nurses of this institution." THE SUPPLY OF COTTON. The prospect of the supply of cotton is beginning to excite great interest and some anxiety in the manufac turing districts. The ground of this anxiety L!, that the consumption of the article has been increasing more rapidly than its production fur the last three years, not withstanding the enormous crop of 1844, and that there is danger that the production will Lefore long be intuffi cient to meet the present rate of consumption. Should that prove to be the case, prices will of course rise until the proper proportion between supply and demand has been re-established. On examining the return of the imports, exports, and the consumption of all hinds of cotton in the port of Liverpool, in the years 1844, 1845, and 1846, the follow ing are found to be the results:— Import of cotton into Liverpool from the Ist January, 1844, to the 10th October, 1846:- 1844 1,490,968 bales 1845 1,650.763 1846 (to October 10) 1,051 „ ,348 Total import 4,193,079 „ Exports of cotton from Liverpool the same mid:- 1844 84,200 bales 1845 82,500 „ 184 G 115,230 „ Total exports 281,930 „ Consumption in same period:- 1,311,088 balos 1,432,363 „ 1,180,400 „ 1844.- 1845.. 1846.. ------ Total consumption 3,923,851 Prom total impo r t Deduct total c0n5umpti0n...3,923,851 Total export 4,205,181 „ Excess of consumption and export over import 12,102 ” The estimated stock of cotton on hand was— On the Ist Jan~ 1844 Ditto on Oct. 10, 1846 From the above figures it will be seen that the impor tation of cotton into Liverpool in the years 1844 and 1845, and, so far as it has gone, 1846, was not equal to the consumption and export in the same period, although the import of 1845 was the largest ever known, and that we should now hare been without any supply of cotton in this port if it had not been for the remains of the grea American crop of 1843, which reached 2,379,000 bales, or 279,000 bales more than the crop of 1845. The general expectation is, that the stock on band will be considerably less at Christmas ; so that for the first time since 1842 we are likely to commence the new year with a stock of less than half a million bales. The stocks in Liverpool at the close of each year, from 1841 inclusive, bare been-- 1841 .............................. 429,830 bales. 1842 ............................. 456600 „ 1843 .................. . ........... 653,900 „ 1844 ............................. 749,580 „ 1845 ......................... 885,480 „ It will be seen from the above figures thlt the con sumption in this and other countries is gaining very rapidly on the production, and that without a decrease of the former or an increase of the latter, the stocks will be reduced to the lowest point before the end of 1847. Under these circumstances every account of the pro bable yield of the present year's crop is looked for with the greatest interest, and from the unfavourable tenour of t rneshe accounts hitherto, with muc h anxiety, —Liverpool 2Y. About ten o'clock yesterday morni ng a fire o c _ curred in Burton-street, Eaton-square, in workshops be longing to Mr. Samuel Wilson, builder, of UpperEbury_ street, which, together with a stable, were entirely consumed in a very short time, The cause was purely accidental, by the igniting of a few shavings by one of the apprentices who was about making a fire. R THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 16, 1846. DESECRATION OF THE DEAD s r. GILES'S WORKHOUSE. Since the dreadful disclosures of Ellen Chapel down to the recent d , secretion of certain City church-yards, and the removal of cart loads of human remains to the Easter -end of the metropolis, nothing so humiliating or in detail so revolting has occurred to equal in horrors the proceedings which are now going on in the pauper burial-ground attached to the St. Giles's workhouse. It appears that in this parish it has been found necessary to enlarge the workhouse, and to add an infirmary, a dis pensary, a casual ward, waiting-rooms, bath-rooms, and other buildings for the accommodation of the inmates, who for many years had suffered much. That in order to effect these objects, a number of temporary offices, covering in the whole a. piece of ground at the rear of the building containing about half an acre, have been re• moved, and the whole area, extending from the back of the workhouse to a lane called Short's-gardens, laid bare. The plot of ground thus exposed is surrounded on all sides by the dwellings of the poor, who inhabit this locality in perhaps greater numbers than any other part of the metropolis. Many of these miserable tenements overlook the spot, and so dense is the population that several thousand poor families reside within the circle of one hundred yards round it. After the materials of the old buildings had been removed, the workmen in the employment of the builder, Mr. Holland, of Duke-street, Blooms bury, commenced digging the foundations for the new j buildings, and while so engaged found at the depth of I about four feet from the surface some bones, which were carted away with the rubbish, and deposited in the vicinity of Battle-bridge. As soon as the circumstance of finding the bones was represented to the clerk of the works, he immediately waited upon the governor of the workhouse, and also some members of the board of guardians, but no directions were given to cease dis turbing the remains. The workmen, therefore, continued to prosecute their labours, when it soon became apparent the ;round was filled with coffins, and the decomposed bodies of human beings. A sight of this appalling cha racter had such an effect upon the workmen employed to clear away the revolting substances, that some of them exhibited the greatest reluctance to interfere, and only complied at length from the fear of losing their employ ment. While the task of exhuming the remains was proceeded with, the board of guardians held two or three meetings, and after some deliberation, and an in spection of the ground, came to the determination to ex hume all the bodies, and have them removed to the St. Giles's Cemetery, St. Pancras-road. These instructions are now in the course of being complied with, and it is calculated that within the last fortnight the remains of twelve hundred persons have been removed. The coffins appear to have been wedged together, and in many cases fourteen have been found in one grave. A space of ground, measuring about eighty square feet, has been already excavated, with the intention of removing all the coffins that may be found. The earth is found to be in some parts hard and gravelly, but towards Short's-gardens it becomes loose and damp, and in those parts the progress of decomposition has been more rapid and complete. To the north, and within 8.1 few feet of the workhouse itself, the soil is compara tively firm, and here a most appalling sight was pre sented. Owing, it is supposed, to the peculiar proper ties of the soil in this place, the coffins were found to be in a better state of preservation, and to have re sisted, to a greater extent, the mouldering effects of time. They could not, hoe ever, be removed in any thing like a perfect shape, and parted asunder when exposed to the air. The lushes they contained were found to be still solid, the hair upon the eyebrows and eyelashes clearly discernable, and every feature entire and perfect as when first deposited. The flesh, however, had turned into a white substance, resembling to the touch, and not unlike in appearance, the common mush room or toad-stool. The coffins containing those bodies were found at depths, varying from four to nine or ten feet. In some instances, the mouldering flesh clung to the head, about the jaw, and round the scalps, while the teeth remained white and firm. The brain could also be traced; and in some cases even the viscera were clearly distinguishable. These bodies appeared to have been swathed in coarse linen shrouds as several fragments of the latter were found. The accumulation of those ghastly remains in a few hours became so great, that coffins or rather large boxes, hastily put together ; and formed of three quarter inch deal, painted block, were got in readiness, into which the remains of about thirty persons were packed indiscriminately and forwarded in a hearse to the cemetry at St. Pancras -road. The re mains of about twelve hundred persons were thus re moved, a much greater number however still remain, and at this moment the loathsome place is strewn with skulls, many of them in the state described, bones of all kinds, and fragments of broken coffins. The pit exca vated has already yielded the remains of 1,200 persons, including the skeletons of children, and judging from pre sent appearances the workmen employed have not more than half finished, if so much, their frightful task. Por tions of several coffins, with fragments of their ghastly occupants, can now be traced within thirteen or fourteen inches of the surface, while in other places the piles of coffins have been compressed by time, according as the wood rotted, and now appear lying close to each other, as if some external pressure had been applied. Some of the able-bodied paupers from the workhouse were employed collecting the fragments. It is evident from the appearance of some of the coffins that the ec cu p ants did not in ev er y case b e l ong to the-humbler classes, as some of them have pieces of cloth attached to them, and are richly studded with nails, and contain the marks of having been once decorated with plates. The dates, however, are, unfortunately, erased by time„ with the ex ception of a few. In one portion of the ground the workmen found as many as 30 or 40 skeletons, all thrown indiscriminately together; none of them bore the appear ance of being recently deposited. Several copper coins, pipes, and other things, were also fou n d. Th e coins were very much corroded, but one of them is in suffi ciently good preservation to exhibit the date 1200 in legible characters. Independently of the outrage upon decency and proper feeling which is involved in these proceedings, it is to be apprehended that very fearful results to the sanitory condition of so densely crowded a neighbourhood will follow the opening of the:loathsome pit now exposed to view. The indignation of the people in the immediate district has been audibly expressed. A great majority of them belong to the sister country, and, with that respect for the dead which they are nationally characterised for, have viewed with feelings of indigna tion the proceedings. It is calculated that an immense number of coffins and their contents have still to be re moved. IPSWICH AND BURY RAILWAY.—We are glad to hear that the subsidence of the soil at llaughloy, has been now overcome, and there is every prospect of the line being opened for traffic early in the ensuing month. —Bury Herald. NEW RAILWAY PROJECT.—We understand th• surveys are about to be commenced of a proposed rail way from Colchester, by way of Nayland, Sudbury, and Haverhill, to Cambridge.- 7 -Bury Herald. FATAL COLLISION ON THE THAMES.--Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, a coal barge called the Gertrude, was passing down the river, a short distance from London-bridge, when she ran with a violent crash foul of a sailing barge loaded with sand, known as the Opponent. The jerk occasioned by the collision pitched the steersman of the former into the water, and al though every possible exertion was made to save the poor fellow's life, ho floated away with the tide and dis appeared. DEATH OF LIEUTENANT -COLONEL GORDON: We have to record the demise of a gallant and eminent field officer, Lieut.-Colonel John Gordon, who expired a few days since at his seat, Princestown, county of Fermanagh, at the ad% anced age of seventy-nine, forty-one of which witnessed a connexion with the British army. This officer saw during his career some rough service, and he had the honour and satisfaction of being made a retired Lieutenant-Colonel on full pay in 1844, being connected with the Royal Regiment of Artillery, which he entered as Second-Lieutenant in 1805. IRON VESSELS.—ADVANTAGES OF WATER -TIGHT COMPARTMENTS.—A letter from Falmouth to the Liver pool underwriters, dated 9th October, contains the fol lowing passage:—" The Rattler steamer, from Cork to London, full rfwater in after parts, and chiefly so in the hold, the fore compartment only keeping her afloat, has been run on the mud, and cargo b. ing taken out, all soaked. She sprung a leak cn the 7th instant, soon after leaving Cork. Among the plssengers thus miraculously saved Were Captain Robert Foster, RN., Mrs. Foster, and Messrs. Frederick, George, and Laton Foster." MEETING OF THE RATEPAYERS OF ST. PANCRAS. —An adjourned meeting of the ratepayers of St. Pancras parish was held on Monday evening, and lasted for seven hours, relative to the charges against the authorities on their management of the poor. After a great deal of talking, Mr. Marley submitted the following resolution, "'that this meeting have every confidence in the directors and vestrymen of this parish to investigate the conduct of the officers and the management of the workhouse.* Mr. fluffy moved as an amendment —" That this meet ing cannot have confidence in any of the directors or officers of the poor until a fair investigation of the pre sent charges against them has taken place by the vestrymen." The resolution and the amendment were then put to the meeting and the latter was negatived. SWANSEA AND MUMBLES OYSTER FISHERY,— The commencement of the oyster fishery, in Swansea bay, has been more successful this year than known for many seasons, and notwithstanding the large number almost daily caught, such is the demand for these oysters at Liver" o 1, Manchester, Birmingham, and other large towns, that they readily sell on Swansea quay for one shilling and sixpence per long hundred. This is a great blessing to the hard-working poor engaged in these fi,heries (some of whom have lately been getting as much as 21. per week) at a period when provisions are so dear.—Welshman. COACH ACCIDENT.—About eleven o'clock on Sun day night last an accident happened to the London mail coach going north, on the most dreary part of Shap Fells, in Westmoreland, which might have been attended with the most serious and fatal consequences. It appears that the road over Shap Fells, especially at the Bucks brow, is in a most dangerous and shocking bad state of repair, there being large deep holes in it at several places, and, indeed, it is so bad that the mail coaches cannot get up the brow in due time, and consequently two extra horses are put to, and a postillion, to assist the coach up that long steep hill. William Abel, the postillion, on erriving at the top of the steep, told the driver, that, as the night was so very stormy, and the roads so very heavy and bad, he would go on with his pair with the coach to Shap. However, the coach had not gone far, when the horse on which Abel was riding fell, the other four fell over him and them, and one of his thighs was broken, and he was otherwise most dread fully mangled and crushed, but the coach was not thrown over. It soon afterwards proceeded on, but before it ar rived at Shap the pole broke, and some of the passengers were much alarmed. The coach arrived at Carlisle upwards of four hours behind her due time. LAW INTELLIGENCE. SHERIFFS' COURT. October 15. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCIIELI..) To-day this Court was re• opened for the regular sit tings through the approaching terms. Only three causes were set down for trial, two of which were withdrawn, Mr. Crouch being in attendance as counsel, but the wit nesses were not present. BOYCE 1. ALDRAD. This case was called cn. On the last sitting of the Court an objection was taken by Mr. Ferner, the de fendant's attorney, that the record had been resealed, but the date ef the writ of trial directed to the sheriffs had not been altered, and he contended that the altera tion of the date, after having been sealed, amounted to a forgery. The Learned Under-Sheriff on that occasion left the parties to take their own course, observing that if a writ was placed before him he should act on it, so far as obtaining the verdict of the jury, and making his re turn. The Court above alone was competent to decide as to the responsibility of the parties, or the correctness of the document. The same writ was brought up this day, having been resealed, the original date, the 22d of July, being retained. Mr. FERN ER urged that his previous objection still applied. The Learned UNDER- SHERIFF said that he could only hear evidence if adduced, and make his return on that and the verdict of the jury. The case was then proceeded with. Mr. JOYCE said the plaintiff was a carpenter, the de fendant a law-writer, and during the railway mania in 1844 defendant set up in business for himself, leaving ilia employer. Defendant had ordered the work to be done, and what defence could be offered he (Mr. Joyce) was at a loss to imagine. John Barrett was called, and proved the work was done, and that the prices were fair and reasonable. Mr. FERNER, for the defendant, contended that the debt arose out of a partnership. Defendant had con sented to take a person, named Herbert, i n t o partners hi p, on the condition th a t he would fit up the office, which had been done. It was true Aldred had given the orders, but under the agreement. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said the plaintiff was not bound by an agreement made behind his back, and of which he could only have knowledge when the parties chose to disclose it. Mr. FERNER said he held a receipt for IL 10s., in which plaintiff admitted his whole claim was 11. 14s. 6d. for work defendant admitted to have been done at his request. Mr. JOYCE said that the receipt had been tampered with. The plaintiff admitted, on the pleadings, the receipt of 11. on account, but a receipt for 30s. took them by surprise. The signature was that of the plaintiff; but the material part was that of defendant or some friend. The addition of IGs. was put in in figures, to mystify the account. The UNDER-SHERIFF said there had been culpable negligence on one side or the other; in giving ins'ructions, if only 4s. 6d. were due, how could it be the difference had not been tendered? Mr. FERNER said that he was instructed it had actually been paid but the receipt had been lost. The UNDER-SHERIFF said that was a question for the jury. He had expected the observation as to the " tampering" with the receipt—it was quite open to the remarks made upon it. The jury, after examining the receipt, gave a verdict for Cl. 195., the balance claimed, admitting the payment of IL The Learned UNDER-SITERIFF refused to retain the writ, leaving defendant to apply to the Court above on the technical points. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. POWNALL and a full Bench of MaOstrates.) Immediately after the opening of the Court the ad journed cases from Monday, with respect to the several parochial rentals, were disposed of, but no points of ge neral interest occurred beyond those already reported in The Sun. MUSIC AND DANCING LICENSES. The Court then proceeded with the several applica tions, under 25 Geo. 11, for the renewal of music and dancing licenses which had been granted last year, and with applications for new ones. Of the former there were 67 upon the list, and 9 of the latter. Up to the time of our going to press 39 applications had been dis posed of, amongst which were the applications of Edward Gomorsal and Wm. James Bennett, fur the Garrick Theatre, Goodman's Fields; Peter Snow, for the St. John's Tavern, known commonly as Lord's Cricket Ground; of Sir Thomas Baring, Henry Pownall, and Archdall Palmer, Esqs., for Exeter Hall ; James Hedgman, for the National Baths, Holborn ; and of Thomas Rouse, for the Eagle Tavern. Mr. Bodkin appeared on the part of Messrs. Littlejohn and Ellis, the proprietors of the Stadium, Cremorne House, when it having been shown that the usual forms were complied with, and no person appearing to oppose the application made by the Learned Counsel for renew ing the music and dancing license, it was granted by the Court. Several of tho applicants not having answered to their names when called upon, the Court stated that it had the power of at once dismissing the application, and certainly, if this careless system was persevered in, that power would be exercised. The Chairman hoped this would be taken as a warning by the licensed victuallers. To-morrow morning, at ten o'clock, is appointed for the hearing of appeals of indictments for nuisances, and for the trial of parties out on bail. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-S TREE T. A young man, of respectable appearance, applied to Mr. Hall for advice under these circumstance:—He went on Tuesday evening to a concert and ball, at the Adelaide Gallery, and was dancing a quadrille, when the check taker came up to him, and asked him if he bad paid for his admission ? Applicant said he had. The check taker said that he (applicant) was " not fit for the com pany," and must not be allowed to remain. Applicant asked why, and said he hoped it would be explained ; but the check-taker would say nothing more than that he knew him well, and must turn him out. Applicant went with him to the door, where the check-taker spoke to the money-taker, and asked him if he had taken the money from him. The money-taker said he had. The check -taker said he was a thief and a rogue, was known at Bow-street, and had been a waiter at a public-house. All this occurred before a number of people. Applicant was a tailor, living near Soho-square, and had never been a waiter, nor had any charge ever been made against him at Bow -street or any other court. Mr. HALL could do nothing in the matter. No vio lence had been used ; and the object of the applicant seemed to be to vindicate his character—a matter quite out of his (Mr. Hall's) province. But if the applicant chose to go to the expense, he could bring an action against the door-keeper. Applicant—That I shall certainly do ; for it would be very hard if a person, whose profession depended on his character, was to be dragged through a crowded room and called a thief with impunity. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. CAUTION TO RIVAL OMNIBUS -DRIVERS.—Jam es Sel way, driver of one of the London Conveyance Com pany's Paddington omnibuses, was summoned for having, by furious driving, damaged one of Nelson's Eastern Counties Railway omnibuses, driven by James Smith. From the evidence it appeared there was a spirit of rivalry between the proprietors or drivers of these om nibuses. It was alleged on the part of the complainant that it was the practice of the London Conveyance om nibus-drivers to obstruct his omnibus on its journeys, and to endanger the passengers by keeping another om nibus close to the doors of his vehicle. A second omni bus was put on in front, and in this way, with one om nibus in front and one behind, he was obliged to drive through the streets, and to take up and set down his passengers in the best manner he could. On the day mentioned in the summons the defendant was driving the omnibus at the tail of his omnibus. Complainant stopped to set down a lady, upon which the defendant attempted to pass him, although there was not room enough, and in this attempt ho ran against the door and did damage to the extent of 40s. Witnesses corroborated the allegation of the Com plainant that the defendant kept behind him along Ox ford street, and drove against the omnibus when it pulled up to set down a passenger. The defendant denied the rivalry. He certainly came accidentally Into collision with the door of the com plainant's vehicle ; bat this was the fault of the com plainant himself, who suddenly pulled up short, and made no signal to those behind him. Mr. HARDWICK said the mode in which rival omnibus proprietors conducted their competition was alike dis graceful to themselves and dangerous to tile public. The drivers of rival omnibuses appeared to be wholly regard less of the safety and accommodation of their passengers ; they were only anxious, at whatever risk, to accomplish a trifling triumph over an opponent. These were prac tices that could not for a moment be tolerated. It bad been proved in evidence that the complainant was dogged by a rival throughout Oxford-street —that his passengers were kept in a perpetual state of alarm —and that posi tive danger was produced to a lady when she attempted to alight. Here, then, was quite sufficient to warrant him in punishing the defendant with proper severity. If rivalry could not be put down, at least ho would take care that it should be so conducted as not to alarm and endanger the public. If pecuniary fines were not suffi cient, he should resort to other measures. In the pre sent case he should inflict a fine of 40s. for the public offence, and 40s. for the damage ; hut he begged it might go forth that in future instances he should cancel the licenses of the driver. Mary Jones, a girl about 15 years of age, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, chargal with attempting to put a period to her existence. Mary Grambler said sho resided in Falconbridge court, Soho, and the prisoner resided in the same house. Yesterday afternoon she had occasion to go up stairs to a back bed-room, and was surprised'to see the prisoner stretched at full length on the hod. She went up to her and took hold of her hand to wake her up. She was alarmed at the coldness of her hand, and thought there was something wrong. On closely examining the pri soner she found that she had tied a handkerchief tightly round her neck, to endeavour to strangle herself, and bad it not been for her going ir,tj the roum she must have effected her purpose. Joseph Loader stated that the prisoner had been under his care ever since the death of her parents. He had endeavoured to bring her up so as to get an honest livelihood, but was sorry to say that she was a lazy, bad girl ; she would not kesp any situation she was placed in, but would associate with low and bad girls. The prisoner, in answer to Mr. HARDWICK, said the reason she was tired of her life was that Mr. Loader beat her. Mr. HARDWICK spoke to her upon the sinfulness of he crime of suicide. She was old enough to be aware of ;he wickedness of such an act. The MAGISTRATE ordered an officer to take her to v. Norris, the priest of St. Patrick's Chrpel, Sutton street, which she was in the habit of frequoul g, and in whose school she was educated. The prisoner, in tears, said she was very sorry for what she had done, and would promise not to do the like again, and appeared thankful for the Magistrate's kind ness. Alice Talon, cook, and Sarah Bicknell, both in the service of Mrs. Sarah Watkins, were pace dat the bar before Mr. Hardwick, charged with robbing their mis tress of wine , and William Oipps with r e c e i v i ng i t knowin. , it to be stolen. ilia. Sarah Watkins, 17, Cork street, Burington garden, being sworn, said the females were servants to her. She had placed in the back kitchen a cask con taining several dozens of sherry. The complainant had seen it safe there headed up a few months ago. The wine was the property of Haveland John Adding ton, Esq., nephew to Lord Sidmouth, who had left it in her keeping. In consequence of information received on Friday last, she examined the cask in presence of a police officer, and found it contained no more than 7 bottles. When the constable had frequently put it to the defendant Bicknell, whether she knew where the wine had gone to, and said she must answer, she told him she had given her brother-in-law, Willi am Cripps, eight bottles the night before, and the night previous two bottles, in addition to two given him by the cook (Tattoo). _ _ Louisit Mould saw, on Wednesday night last, the pri soner Tatton drunk, and on the Thursday night following the prisoner Cripps in the back kitchen at the wine tub. The prisoner Bicknell was giving him bottles, which ap peared to he full, out of the tub. The police•constables who took the prisoners corrobo rated the evidence of the prosecutrix. Mr. Robinson, for Tatton, submitted that there was no evidence on which she could be committed. Mr. HARDWICK said it was slight, but he should leave it to a jury; and accordingly committed them for trial, but said he would admit them to bail o❑ finding two householders' sureties in 50/., for each of the three prisoners. described as a bl acksmith, was CLERKENTVELL. pla G ce e d org a e t t N he cti b t a il r ew o s i% the charge o f f e!oniously cutting and wounding his wife, Elizabeth Matthews. The complainant, who scarcely seemed to have passed the age of childhood, had her head covered with ban dages, and appeared to be very weak from the loss of blood, stated that when she came home on last Thurs day, her husband attacked her, and after knocking her down and kicking her violently while on the ground, seized a large chimney ornament, with which he struck her a violent blow upon the temple, which rendered her quite insensible for a considerable time. In reply to the MAGISTRATE, she stated that she had been married only three months, and that she had been compelled to separate from her husband in less than a week after their marriage, owing to his violent conduct. As is usual in such cases the prisoner threw the whole blame on the wife. Mr. BROUGHTON said it was quite evident from the appearance of the prosecutrix that she was at present, although able to attend to give evidence, in a very dan gerous state, and as it was possible from the serious nature of the wound, that erysipelas might ensue, he should remand the prisoner for a week, when the medi cal testimony would decide whether he should commit him on the charge of aggravated assault, or the more serious one of felony. W ORSHIP -STREET. Among the numerous individuals charged with b e i ng "drunk and incapable," s e ,, was a female of very re spectable appearance, who, it appeared, had last evening so energetically been paying her devoirs at the shrine of the rosy god, that when found by the constable in the Kingsland-road she was unable either to speak or walk, and was, therefore, conveyed by him to the station house. The defendant, on being asked by the magistrate, Mr. BnoucwroN, what she had to say in defence of such con duct, replied that she had been to visit some f r i ends of her husband, wh o was a superintendent of police in the country, and she could account for the state she was in, when found by the constable, only by her having been suddenly affected on her corning into the open air by an extra glass of wine she had been induced to take previous to her departure from them. Mr. 13nouGwroN discharged the defendant with an admonition. As soon, however, as she had withdrawn, some gentlemen who were present, and who appeared to know her and her family very well, after stating her name, said that she was in the possession of 3001. a year, independent of her family and her husband, who is in a large way of business in the City, and who has brought up a large family (sons and daughters of the late de• fendant) in honour and credit. The above female, it was stated, was seldom or ever to be met with in a state of sobriety. Michael Buda. and James Dipper, of the respective ages of about 20 years, and well-known to the police for their thieving propensities, were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged as follows : Esther Leader, of 26, Willow-street, Finsbury, stated that about one:o'clock that morning she was proceeding down the street on her way home, when she rece i ve d a sudden and violent blow on the head from the prisoner Dipper, which knocked her down. The prisoner Butler then placed his hand upon her mouth, and kept her down, whilst his companion Dipper proceeded to rifle her pockets ; she struggled, and succeeded in releasing her mouth, and called out " Murder." The prisoners ran off, but were captured by the police. The prisoners, on being asked what they had to say o the charge, replied that they were honest, hard-work ing young sown, and denied in Leto the charge which had been brought against them. Mr. EtirmilAm, however, thought that the charge had been fully proved, and was about to commit them at ' once to Newgate for trial. but at the suggestion of the officers, as they were well-known thieves, ordered them to be brought up again in a few days. SOUTHWARK. William Ford, an engineer, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Seeker, charged with endeavouring to force his way into the Victoria Theatre, and assaulting Mur ray, the officer. The latter stated that about 9 o'clock on Tuesday even ingthe prisoner came into the box en t rance, and tried to force his w a y u p the staircase. When asked for his money, he knocked the check-taker down, and had ascended to the top of the stairs when he (witness) met him. The prisoner endeavoured to serve him in the same way as he had done the check-taker, but he was too powerful for him; and . after considerable di ffi culty he held him until the arrival of other constables, who carried him to the station-house. The prisoner, who stated that he was much intoxi cated at the time, was fined 10s., or seven days' imp r . - sonnient. THAMES.

It appeared the fellows contrived to carry out their system of plunder by taking up a plank in the tap room, which is ,just over the cellar, and by that means obtained unrestricted access. Chapman and Bennett were again remanded, but the other priso aer was set at large, as it is expected he will give important testimony,. which will lead to the al of the principal offender, h apprehenak who is not yet in custody.

CHARGES AGAINST Mr. W. EVENS , MASTER OF THE STONEHOUSE WORK HOUSE. During the past ten days an investigation has been going on at the Royal Hotel, Plymouth, before John T. Graves, Esq., Assistant Poor-law Commissioner, into the conduct of Mr. W. Evens, who for sixteen years past has been the master of the Stonehouse Workhouse. The charges were made by Lieut. Warren, of Stonehouse, and were of a very serious character, as will be seen by the following letter, which was sent by the Assistant Com missioner to Mr. Evens:— " Totness, Sept. 29, 1846. " Sir,—The clerk to the guardians undertook to me that he would give you notice of the inquiry I purpose to hold on the Ist of October, at two o'clock, P.M., at the Royal Hotel, Plymouth, into certain charges pre ferred against you by Lieut. Warren. "You are accused of having ill-treated Wm. Horswell, his wife, and child, while they were in the workhouse, and also of having by ill-usage accelerated the deaths of three men, named Eddy, Dodridge, and Aishton, who dicd in the workhouse. " I think it will be desirable that the medical officer of the workhouse should be in attendance on Thursday afternoon, and should have in readiness any books which may throw light on the cases of the above-named persons. - _ " When the case of the complainant has been investi gated, if you should require time to prepare your defence, Or want summonses for witnesses on your behalf, I shall be prepared to give favourable consideration to any ap plication that you may desire to make on those heads. "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " JOHN T. GRAVES, "Assistant Commissioner." " Mr. W. Evans, Master of the Workhouse." The case has been undergoing investigation from time to time down to Saturday last, when it closed with the defence of Mr. Evens. The inquiry was not in open court, though the Commissioner permitted the press to attend, on the understanding that the case should not be published till the whole of the evidence had been gone through. William Horawell stated, I am a scrivener, or ac countant. The letter produced, containing the charges against Mr. Evens, was written by me. I have been in the East Stonehouse Workhouse four times altogether. The last time I left was in November last. I went in in August. I was in a very bad state of health when I went in. The treatment I had whilst I was in the house was such as a sick person ought not to have. I was dis charged as incurable from Exeter Hospital in June. When I came into the house Dr. Perry considered that was in a very bad state, and ordered me wine. Dr. Perry saw me at my daughter's, and recommended me to go into the house, and I consented, thinking that I had but a short time to live. I expressed a wish to Mr. Evens that my wife and sister should stay up with me, because there was no one to assist me in and out of bed. Mr. Evens said it was not a fit place for women, and there was a woman in the next room who would bring me my medicine. This woman was a pauper upwards of 70. I had an abscess forming. I told the doctor of it, and he ordered me linseed meal. Did not get the linseed meal for five days. That caused the abscess to break on the eighth day, and I was iu great pain and never slept. I complained to Dr. Perry, and he said the linseed meal should be had. The first day the nurse (Salter) said the doctor bad not put the order on the book; afterwards that there was none in the house. I complained to the master, but he turned a deaf ear to it. I had a seizure in my left leg at the same time, and was not able to move it, and could not get in or out of bed, and I complained to the master of it, and he said there were men enough to do it. I heard Mr. Evens repeat edly say I was a great expense to the parish. On the lath of May, 1846, I wrote to the master from the Cor nish ward, in the Devon and Exeter Hospital, request. ing him to send me up shirts. The shirts were not sent. I pledged my great coat for five shillings, to buy two shirts. There was a shirt sent. I was sent back from the hospital by the waggon. This was in June, a very wet day. That was the forerunner of the abscess. I came to Plymouth by a covered waggon, open at both ends. I had not a great coat. I said when told to go to the waggon, " this is my death warrant." The doctor visited me every day during the five days I had not the poultice. I complained to him every day. I saw Captain Fanshawe, the Chairman, during the five days. The house committee visited me during those live days. I cannot say that I complained to the chairman or the visiting committee about the poultices. When I became better I made complaints to the house committee on Monday, but on Thursday I found the doors locked that divide the male wards from the female. I could not get to see the board. Mr. Evens knew I wanted to see the board. I told him that I expected to be called, but I was not, The complaint that I wanted to make was not being allowed to see my wife, who was ill. I never afterwards complained. I considered it useless. No notice will be taken of what a pauper says by the board of guardians. I never knew the board refuse a hearing to a pauper. Never said to Captain Toby "I hare no complaint to make." William Tatem,_ who had b een an i nmate along with Eddy, corroborat e d the statement of the first witness. Henry Perry, medical officer of the workhouse, was next sworn. He remembered the case of Eddy. He was admitted to the house on the 6th of July, 1844, and continued under medical treatment until the 24th of the same month, when he required no further attendance. January 2d, 1845, he was again brought in and treated for paralysis. He was in a very weak state. On account of his defective sight he thought picking oakum would certainly have been improper work for him. Witness's apprehension was that he was not so employed. Recol lected a person named Dodriagp haiog in the house. Was called to attend him on the 8d of October, 1844. His com plaint was asthma. He was placed on the half dietary list till December, when having rallied, he was, accord ing to his own request, placed on the ordinary house dietary, which he continued until the Bth of January, 1845, when he died. Believed he was in the male sick ward. Did not recollect his working in the coal-cellar. Cannot recollect seeing him in the boy's sleeping-room. Believed Horswell was in the male sick ward, and the garret was just over where he was. Did not remember Dodridge's removal to that ward. Thomas Smith and James Hodge (since deceased) attended to the sick in that ward, and were occasionally me instances by Th omas Hellier and Ri c h ar d Will s, an d in s me instances he had known the late porter, Thomas "'arida, assist in the sick wards. Rembered a person named Ashton being in the house. He was decidedly insalie, and very much excited. Recommended his reMoval to the work house in consequence of fincling him unprotected at bis own house. His insanity was of the kind called mania, and was not furious. I was informed it was produced by reverses in business. Witness ordered a strait waistcoat to be put on him when he was obstreperous. Observed marks at the angle of his mouth. On inquiring into the cause he found they had been produced by inserting the spoon in his mouth with a view of giving him some nutriment. He had no apprehension that there was any unnecessary or improper force used on the part of the attendants. His arms were secured to the sacking of the bed to prevent his injuring himself. A variety of additional evidence having been taken, Mr. Evens proceeded to make his defence. He first alluded at length to the ch arge o f neglect brought by Horswell, and the f t added that with respect to accelera ting the death of Eddy, Aishton, and Dodridge, he could solemnly declare he never heard any complaint of ill-usage towards either of them, until he received the Assistant Poor-law Commissioner's letter of the 30th of September, the day before the inquiry commenced at the Royal Hotel. After the conclusion of the inquiry, The Learned Commissioner went to the workhouse and saw the rooms as they were described by the wit. nesses. The evidence will be placed before the Commissioners at Somerset House, who will shortly give their decision. SPECULATION.—A mercantile friend of ours, and a banker, says--" Speculation is now turning from rail. ways to corn and cotton • the latter will, I fear, cause more mischief than the former. Those injured indi viduals, but these will affect the exchanges.—Leeds Mer cury. A DAMPER TO ELOQUENCE.—Arousing scenes occur occasionally in grave assemblies. During the late cession of the New Hampshire Legislature a newly. fledged orator rose to make his maiden speech in the House of Representatives. A Bill had been brought in to tax bank dividends, and, watching his opportunity, the debutant addressed the Members :—" Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Dover who introduced this Bill does not seem to be aware of its inevitable results. He would strip the widow." (Roars of laughte, and cries of " Th e w id ow , w h o ?" w hat widow ? " " Not in this public hall, I hope," &c.) As soon as the tumult had subsided in some degree, and the orator could make himself heard, he indignantly proceeded :—" Gentlemen need not think to put me down by clamour. Is there no sympathy here for the widow and the orphan ? I say, Sir, this is worse than stripping. Put on this tax, and I say you drive the widow to her last shift." Here the clamour became so great that the speaker, despairing of a hearing, resumed his seat. It was almost ten minutes before the House could transact its regular business.— New York Paper. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERIES AT NMI:VEIL—MT Layard, an English gentleman, has for the last twelve.. month been pursuing the track—first laid open by M. Botta—at Nimroud, near Mosul, on the Tigris, His excavations have not only settled the precise position of Nineveh—the very existence of which had become little better than a vague historic dream—but have brought to light some of its buildi ngs , scu l ptures, and inscriptions. According to accounts received at Constantinople some months since, and communicated in the Athenenum of Saturday last, Mr. Layard had discovered an entrance formed by two magnificent winged, human-handed lions. This entrance led him into a hall above 150 feet lone. and 30 broad, entir e ly b u il t o f slabs of marble, covered with sculptures. The side walls are ornamented with small bas•reliefs, of the highest interest —battle sieges, lion hunts, &c.; many of them in the finest state of preser vation, and all executed with extraordinary spirit. They afford a complete history of the military art amongst the Assyrians ; and prove their intimate knowledge of many of those machines of war whose invention is attributed to the Greeks and Romans— suc h ba'tering.ram, th e tower moving on wheels, - the cat as t a e pult, &c. Nothin g can exceed the beauty aof the forms o f var i ous arms, swords, daggnd elegance ers, bcv, spears, &c. I n thi s great hall there are several en trances—each formed by winged lions or winged bulls. again, branch These lead into other chambers, which, off into a hundred ramifications. Every chamber is built of slabs covered with sculptures or inscriptions, whence some idea may be formed of the number of ob jects discovered —th e far greater part of which, in fact nearly all, are in the best preservation. Mr. La yard's excavations have bee n hi therto confined to a very small corner of the mound, under which these antiquities have for ages been buried ; it is impossible to say what m come out when th ey CAU be carried forward on an ade ay quate scale. a -- ••••••• , ...brop ATROCIOUS CRUELTY. To outman, KENT.—On Wednesday Henry ./4 Wily'', a carman in the employ of a carrier named B Irrett, resid ing at Tonbriclge Wells, appeared before the bench to answer the complaint of Mr. Thomas, the secretary of the Royal Society fur the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals, which charged him with wantonly and cruelly heating a horse. Mr. Thomas stated the case to the bench, and called Mary Fielder, who said that on the 30th of September last she was in her house cn Southborough -common. when, hearing the sound of heavy blows, she look( d towards the road, when she saw the defendant standing by a waggon and two horses, beating the shaft horse about the fore and hind legs with a piece of iron called a d " ridger," and wed as part of the cart saddle. The defendant beat the horse repeatedly and so shamefully, that she ran into Mr. Draper's, a neighbour, and begged of him to interfere to prevent the infliction of farther brutality. She then returned to her house and saw some person give the defendant a quantity of straw ; he placed it under the hind legs of the horse and lighted it with a lucifer match, the straw blazed up and the horse kicked and endeavoured to get away from the flames. ?he animals appeared unable to draw the load. Witness turned away from the sight as it made her quite ill. Cross-examined by the defendant—l saw you light the lucifer and set the straw on fire. William Draper was then called, and he stated that he lets carriages for hire, and lives next door to Mrs. Fielder, on Southborough-common. On the 30th of September Mrs. Fielder ran into his house and begged him to interfere and prevent the defendant from ill treating a horse. Witness got up, and saw the defen dant beating a horse in the shafts of a waggon very cruelly with an iron " ridger." Witness did not go out, but sat down to his breakfast, when his son said they were setting the horse alight. He then went out and saw a fire underneath the horse's belly, close to the hind legs. Witness advised the defendant to get another horse; he did so, and they drew the load up tte hill without difficulty. Mr. Thomas —Did you examine the horse? Witness —I did, sir. Mr. Thomas —Now be so good as to describe the state in which you found it? Witness—l noticed several cuts through the skin on the legs where the defendant struck it with the iron; but I did not see any blood. Mr. Thomas —Was the horse burnt? Witness—l can't say; I did not see it. Mr. Thomas said he had another witness, but he thought the case sufficiently proved, and he should not call him. 'I he defendant did not deny the fact proved, but urged, in mitigation, that the horse was a confirmed jib. A witness gave the defendant an excellent character for humanity, and hoped the bench would deal leniently with him. The Magistrate told the defendant that he had been guilty of a great act of cruelty, for which he must pay a fine of 20s. and the costs. Mr. Scones, the clerk —The costs are 265. Magistrate—That's a large sum, and I reduce the penalty. Mr. Thomas —You can, sir ; but I think you have dealt very leniently with him in reducing the penalty to 20s. Magistrate—Well, I shall reduce the penalty to 145., which, with the costs, will be 40s. You must pay 405., or be imprisoned 14 days. Defendant —Will you give me time ? I will pay so much a week. Magistrate —I will allow you 14 days. The defendant's witness advanced the money, and the defendant, who richly deserved the full penalty of 405., and the cost, was discharged.
