A military execution took place on Tuesday morn ing on the Polygon at Vincennes, in presence of de tachments from all the regiment s o f th e ga rrison of Paris and the adjacent forts, amounting to nearly 12,000 .. men. The crime of the p r i sone r, a private in the Sappers and Miners, was the murder of his cor poral. Precisely at eight o'clock the prisoner arrived at the place of execution in a cellular van, escorted by a body of gendarmes, and accompanied by the almoner of the Military Prison. The vehicle drove up to the centre of the Polygon—an enclosed space on the large plain south-east of the Donjon— and the criminal descended, attended by his con fessor, and walked with a firm step towards the piquet of twelve men appointed to carry the sen tence into execution. His condemnation having been read to him, he pressed the crucifix to his lips, and took leave of his confessor, who immediately re tired with the officials in attendance. He then ad vanced to the front of the piquet, and when at a plac ed few paces distant knelt down. A bandage w as over his eyes, and he himself gave the signa l to fire by letting fall a handkerchief. A sharp in stantlyvolley followed, and he fell lifeless. The condemned conducted himself with perfect coolness , betra y ing neither the least apprehension of death nor unbelcom ing display of bravado. The morning was g y and lowering, in perfect harmony with the melancholy scene, and the grave and serious demean our of the gloomy troops as they marched past the extended body of the criminal showed a perfect sense of the solemn and painful spectacle they had been called upon to witness. Captain Ducrest de Villeneuve, commanding the frigate the Forte, which is at present in the roadstead at Brest, was told three days ago that a sailor, noted for his bad conduct, bad refused to obey an order given him by an officer on duty. The captain ordered the man to obey; but, instead of complying, the sailor seized a sword, and by a tremendous blow on the head felled him to the deck. He the n struck him several times. He was at length secured. The blow on the head was lessened by the capta in having his pocket-handkerchief in his cap, and the blows he re ceived when down were not serious. The crew were with difficulty prevented from doing immediate justice on the assailant. The captain is the son . of the well known admiral. A court-martial bias since assem . - bled, and condemned the man to death. Ills name is La Marchadour, and he is only nineteen years of age. ITALY. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa quotes a letter from Turin of the 13th, in which it is stated that the resignation of the Minister of the Interior, M. PER NATI, is spoken of as certain. The reason of this step is believed to be this ; that M. PERNATI having pro posed to his colleagues to prosecute Count CARDENAS for his attack in the Armonia upon the Ministerial circular relative to the petitions against the Civil Marriage Bill, and the Council of Ministers having decided the matter in the negative, M. PERNATI had sought an opportunity of resigning. The Countess of SOLMS BONAPARTE has arrived at Genoa, on board the Dante steamer, from Leg horn. The Official Gazette of Savoy of the 16th states from Florence, that the authorities of that city have caused the hippodrome to be closed on account of a political demonstration made by one of the equestrian performers. It appears that he exhibited the life of NAPOLEON by means of various changes of dress. The taking of the bridge of Arcole excited great en thusiasm among the public ; the 18th Brumaire went off tolerably well ; but at the coronation the people began to hiss, whereupon the performer threw down sceptre and crown, and trampled them under his feet. The police then interfered ; the place was closed for a fortnight, and the performer imprisoned for twenty four hours, with an express injunction never to per form pantomimes again.

Intelligence has just arrived from Constantinople that Am PACHA. is appointed Grand Vizier in place of RESCHID, who withdraws completely from affairs of the state. ACHMET FESHI also retires. It is be lieved that FuAD EFFENDI will be appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Journal de Constantinople of the 4th pub lishes a letter from the French Ambassador, M. DE LAVALETTE, to the Chancellor of the Consulate, placing at his disposal, for the relief of French resi dents who had suffered losses in the recent fire at Pent, the sum of 10,000 Turkish piastres, which he had intended to appropriate for the celebration of the fete of the 15th inst. The Ambassador says he is sure that the PRINCE PRESIDENT will approve of this change. EGYPT. Accounts from Cairo to the sth have been received. The political situation continued to be very calm ; the only thing, indeed, which had occurred was some promotions in the upper administration—EDHEM PACHA to be Minister of Foreign Affairs, KHAIR EDDIN-PACHA to be Minister of Commerce, and ABDEERHAMAN BEY, formerly Abderrbaman Effendi, a Maltese by birth, to be Chief of the Police, under the nominal direction of SELIM PACHA. Krum EDDIN PACHA and ABDERRHAMAN BEY are noted for their attachment to England. The opening fete of the Kalidj, which always takes place when the rise of the Nile causes its waters to flow into the interior canal of the city, took place on the Ist. ABBAS PACHA went from Bennah with a small squadron of steamers, and attended the ceremony without landing. He then returned to his favourite residence. The Envoy of the Porte had not arrived; he was expected with some impatience by the friends of the Government. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The official report says the health of London exhi bits some improvement. The deaths, which were 1,124 in the first week, have fallen to 1,091 in the second week of August.

The total deaths from all causes under the age of 15 were 611 ; between the age of 15 and 60, 303; at the age of 60 and upwards, 171. The deaths of females (555) exceeded the deaths of males (536) by 19, a change in the proportions which was ob served in the corresponding week of 1849 when cholera was epidemic, and 1,116 males, 1,114 females died. Sixteen persons died of smallpox, 14 of measles, 47 of scarlatina, 47 of typhus, 122 of consumption, 29 of apoplexy.

The premier Peer of Scotland, the venerable Duke 9f Hamilton and Brandon, expired onWednesday morn ing at his mansion in Portman-square. His Grace was one of the oldest, if not the very oldest member of the Peerage, having been born in the year 1767, and consequently he had attained the patriarchal age of 85. He succeeded his father, who was the ninth Duke, in 1819, taking his seat in the House of Lords by two titles—the Duke of Brandon and Baron Dut ton: His Grace never took any prominent part in Polities. In the year 1810, when 43 years of age, he married the second daughter of Mr. William Beck ford, of Foothill Abbey, whose celebrity in art and literature will long be remembered. The issue of this marriage was one son and one daughter. His Grace is succeeded in his title and estates by his son, William Alexander Anthony Archibald, Mar quis of Douglas and Clydesdale, who was born in 1811, and who married in 1843 the Princess Mary Amelia Elizabeth Caroline, daughter of the late reigning Grand Duke of Baden, and first cousin to the President of the French Republic. The late Duke was a Privy Councillor, a Knight of the Garter, a Fellow of the Royal Society and of the Antiquarian Society, and President of the Royal Society of Scotland. By his demise, a blue riband is,placed at the disposal of the Earl of Derby. The family is one of great eminence and antiquity in the peerage of Scotland. The keepership of Holyrood House is hereditary in it. The second Earl of Arran, of this line, which title was created in 1503, was chosen Regent of Scotland in 1542, and was the next year declared heir presumptive to the Crown. He was created Duke of Chatelherault, by Henry 11. of France, a dignity which he subsequently surrendered to the French Monarch. The first Duke was be headed, having been taken at the battle of Preston fighting under Charles I. The second Duke was slain at the battle of Worcester, in the service of Charles 11. The present Duke, who is the eleventh, h a s one son, born in 1845, who has hitherto borne the courtesy title of Earl of Angus and Arran, but who will now take that of Marquis of Douglas and Clydes dale. The Earldom o f A ngus was create d i n 1389. Many noble families are placed in mourning by the decease of the venerable Duke. T BE QUEEN'S VISIT TO BELGIUM. (From the Times.) If we were only to keep as sharp a look out for enemies as w e do for our friends, the shores of England would, indeed, be secure from invasion. We trust the public will have been greatly edified by the account of all the and blazing at saluting our gracious Sovereign, as she steamed to and from Belgium. It is difficult to imagine how t h e sense of dignity can b e grat ifi e d b y t h ese ab surd displays. Had Q ueen Victor i a b een a p i geon let l oose from a trap in B attersea-f i elds s h e cou l d not have bees mor e sedulously Popped at than during her recent u p and down the c h anne l . A rumour that the squadron was in sight was su ffi c i ent s i gnal for little cruise com mencing the display of this sulphurous loyalty. We are at a loss to conceive what gratification could have re sulted to her Majesty from so silly a demonstration. Of positive r esults, indeed, we know but two—the waste of an enor mous quantity of gunpowder and the mutilation of a w retched seaman in the Scheldt. Were any argument necessary beyo n d th e p a tent ab surdity of the existing custom to recommend so whole some a c hange, it might be found in the fact that, while O ur war s hips and batt er i es are giving her Ma j esty a series o f headaches by the di sc h arge o f bl an k cartr id ges , t h e supply of powder allo we d f or pract i s i ng gunnery i s notoriously insufficient.

Surely it would be b e t ter to expend our powder in the in s t ruct ion of our s a il ors than wade i t in so scandalous a nd use less a mann er . to ;Ides, the custom must be as great a nuisance to those illustr i o us personages to whom honour i s intendedas it is t° t h e inhabitants of those ports whi c h are se. lected as their usual points of embarkation or return.

When any great public buifiing, public market, or public thoroughfare, ik,a, is to be razed to the foun dation for reconstruction, it is invariably the custom that most of the material for the new building is either already prepared, .or easily accessible, before commencing to pull asunder the old structure. These previous preparations are made with the view that no time might be lost in the reconstruction of the build ing, that public business might not be hindered by the necessity of transacting it in temporary places ; and that that part of the town where the construction is being renewed may not be allowed for years to look like a wilderness of ruins with scaffoldings, &c. Billingsgate, as a public market, it appears, must be an exception to the general rule. It is just now about three years and nine months since the demo lition of old Billingsgate market and the recon struction of the new one on its site commenced; and at the present day, on viewing the market from Lower Thames-street, it may yet be seen that a great deal of work has to be performed before its final com pletion. It becomes rather an awkward affair at times to lay aside an old machine, and wait until the materials for the re-construction of a new one are manufac tured. An Irishman, who depended pretty much upon the ready use of a good musket, seems to have been aware of that fact. When Pat wanted his musket renewed, he went to a gunsmith and said, in accents as broad as his countrymen are famed for— " Arrab, my honey, this musket of mine requires a new stock, a new lock, and a new barrel ; but I must have them almost immediately." The gunsmith having plenty of the material on hand already manu factured, of course was very soon able to supply Paddy with an entire new musket. There was a Scotchman, too, who could not get on without a sharp-edged instrument; he went to a cutler and said, "Please, sir, this knife of mine requires a new handle and a fresh blade; but as I can't well do without a knife I will just keep this one by me until you have completed one exactly similar to it, or you may im prove upon it if you can." Billingsgate-market may be assimilated to an old boot, that had been given to a cobbler with directions to put on it a new top, new front, new heel, and new sole; but the artist has not yet been enabled to finish more than the top, heel, and sole—the front building next to Thames-street has yet to be erected. The reasons for the market not being in a more forward state after such a lapse of time, it is difficult to conjecture; but there are other public grievences and eyesores in and about the market that ought to be exposed. That part of the building facing the river has been finished now upwards of nine months, but the rudely constructed, unsightly gangway at the middle of the quay is still there, thus preventing the vessels from being properly berthed and arranged along the quay, and thereby prevent confusion. The old grievance that the oyster smacks lay in one tier alongside of each other, stretching right out into the middle of the river, obstructing a passage for barges, &c., is this day as prominent as it was three years ago. Another grievance that should be exposed is the unwarrantable filthy state the market has been kept in of late. The reason assigned for this neglect is stated to be the 16-horse power engine, situate below in the shellfish-market, is not yet in fair working order. When it is so it will heave up a stream of water through the fountain that will fill the large basin which stands in the middle of the market in about ten minutes, besides driving a large fanner which is to ventilate the shellfish-market. The ex pense of keeping up this engine it is supposed will be about 1,0001. per annum. As regards the reason as signed about the engine not yet being in working order, it is correct enough, it having been inquired into ; but that is no sufficient reason why the market is allowed to remain unscrubbed and unwashed for several days together during summer weather; water might be carried from the river in buckets, if no other method is conveniently at hand. Another eyesore that seems to puzzle a good many visitors to Billingsgate is the row of houses that stand betwixt Darkhouse-lane and the market, and which it was supposed would be pulled down, and thus leave an open space for carts and waggons to stand, and prevent the overcrowding of Thames-street. It would seem that instead of those houses coming down, they are making erections and building about them, which has all the appearance of an intention that those houses are to remain as they are for a number of years at least. After all the expense that will have been incurred in reconstructing Billings gate-market, unless the whole of those houses which stand betwixt Darkhouse-lane and it are swept away, and an open space left for carts, waggons, &c., the market itself will be but a very poor looking affair to the eye, nor will the inhabitants along Lower Thames-street be relieved in the smallest degree from their present grievance, an overcrowded state of the street in the morning and great confusion. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlD.—Liverpool, Aug. 19. CROWN COURT.—(adore Lord Chief Justice CAMPBELL.) John Slaney, aged 25, was indicted for the wilfu murder of Margaret Baines, at Liverpool, on the 6th of July last. Mr. Blair and Mr. Aspinall prosecuted, and Mr. Monk and Mr. T. Atkinson defended the prisoner. The prisoner, on the 6:h of July last, was in the fire brigade police force, and appeared at the do ck in his unitorm. The 6th of July, being the eve of the election, there were disturbances in Grosvenor-street, and the prisoner and several other of the police force were sent to keep the peace there. A number of Irish lived in the courts leading into that street, and stones and brickbats had been flyicg about, one of which struck the prisoner. The deceased woman kept a lodging-house in No. 6 court in that street, and had several lodgers. Five Irish witnesses were called, some of them lodgers with the deceased, who swore that they saw three policemen rush up the court and go to the house of the deceased, where a woman named Hughes, one of the witnesses, then was. One of these policemen struck the deceased with his staff and knocked her into the house, bursting open the door. In the house was the deceased's mother-in-law. One of the police men—the prisoner, according to their testi mony—then struck the old woman on the head, and knocked her down. The deceased cried out that they had killed her mother, and the pri soner said that she was not killed, but he would kill her (the deceased), and be immediately struck the deceased on the head, knocking her down, and while she was on the ground he punched her w ith his staff. The police then left the court, and shortly after a witness (Ellen Baines) went into the house and found the deceased speech less, and she died about a quarter of an hour after wards. S evera l I r i s h witnesses who lived in the court identified the prisoner as the man who had done this. One of them, named Gallaghan, when called on to point the prisoner out in cou rt, looked in every direc tion but towards the do ck, and said he did not see him ; that he ought to have been dressed in the same clothes ; when, suddenly turning toward the dock, he said, with theatrical effect , pointing to the prisoner with his finger, " That's the man. Several police men were called, who stated that on the night in question great excitement prevailed among the Irish in that street, and that there had been a succession of rows. They proved that the witness Gallaghan was the man who threw the brickbat at the prisoner, and that the prisoner immediately chased him into a house, and took him prisoner. This was after the deceased had been killed, and the witness never mentioned then anything about the prisoner h a ving been the man who struck at the deceased. whey also proved that the prisoner was not one of the policemen who entered the house of the deceased, A policeman named Doane had been one of the police there, and he had absconded, and the police had in vain endeavoured to have him apprehended. Another of the Irish- witnesses, named Patrick Hughes, who swore positively to the prisoner's identity as the man who struck the deceased ; it appeared from the evi dence of the inspector of the division of police, had gone to the station-house the night the deceased was killed to identify the man who did it. All the policemen were drawn out in file before him, the prisoner among them, and be twice walked up and down_ their front, and halted before a man named Little, differing altogether in personal appearance from the prisoner, and said " That is the man." The inspector told him he thought it right to inform him that Little could not be the man, as he had been on duty at quite another part of the town at the time. The witness again went up and down before the men, and again said, "If Little was not the man, he did not know him." The prisoner received an ex cellent character for temper and forbearance from his inspector. He had saved on one occasion the lives of three children, at the risk of his own, by rushing into a house on fire to save them after their parents had been compelled to fly to save themselves. Mr. Moax, in a very able speech, in which he spoke of his experience of Irish witnesses having pre prod him to expect evasion, prevarication, and un truth when a case depended upon their testimony, drew attention to the conduct and manner, and evi dence of the witnesses in this case, especially to that of G a llaghan, wham they could not but h(-liftve to know well enough where the dock was in court, and where the pri,oner would be placed, and who affected to look all round tha court with a manner of the greatest anxiety to be cautious in his evidence, and then, as if by accident, pouncing on the paisoner when he saw him in the dock. The trick, and cun ning, and humbug of this could not have deceived them, even had it not been proved that this very imn was actuated by malignant motives against the I prisoner for having taken him into custody that night after the death of the deceased, and that he then said nothing about this charge against the prisoner, which he now came by hi s evidence to establish. His LORDiIIIP summed up with great care, going thr ei e , h the evidence, , ellieg , he ju r y it, they relied on the Irish witnesses' testimony the case seemed conclusive against the prisoner ; but if it they be lieved the policemen who had been called was im possible the prisoner could have been the man who struck at the deceased, as he was never in the de ceased's house. The jury, after a short consultation, Acquitted the prisoner. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) SAUNDERS V. STAVELEE. This was a feigned issue directed to be tried by Mr. Justice Erle, whether or not the plaintiff was entitled to a wager for 501. betted on a trotting match, or only to the stakes deposited by himself. Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. Kemplay appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Knowles, Q.C., for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff is the owner of a mare called Flying Wonder, and the defendant was the owner of another mare call e d Winifred, and that the plaintiff backed his mare to trot one mile against the defendant's mare for 501. The match came off ~on the York. road, near Yocklington, on the 21st of last June. By the agreement for the match, each party was to appoint an umpire, and a referee was to be appointed on the ground, the money to be paid over according to the decision of the referee. A gentle man named Mr. William Brown was appointed referee on the ground. The mares were started, and the plaintiff's mare did not break trot once during the match; the defendant's broke twice. It was agreed that if either mare broke she should be pulled up and started again. The defendant's mare was pulled up the first time, but the second time she was allowed to gallop 100 or 150 yards before she was pulled up. Both mares came in together, and it was difficult to say which was first. The referee gave his decision in favour of the plaintiff's mare, which had not broken trot, on the ground that the defendant's mare had not been immediately pulled up, as she ought to have been, the second time she broke trot. Mr. KNOWLES took several legal objections, which were overruled. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN held the race to be a legal race, and the decision of the referee to be binding. He therefore directed a verdict for the plaintiff for 001., the amount of the stakes deposited. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. RUSSELL GURNEY, Q.C.) Henry Davidson, 17 ; George Davidson, 12 ; and Geergiana Davidson, 20, spinster, were indicted for burglary in the dwelling-house of Frederick Vien nois, and stealing a watch, [cash-box, six sovereigns, and other moneys belonging to him. Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr.' Dearsley de fended. The case was one of a very painful character : the prisoners were brothers and sister, and, although, ap parently very poor, had a decent appearance, especi ally the girl, who was rather genteelly dressed, and seemed quite overwhelmed with grief at the position in which she was placed. It appeared that both boys had been in the service of the prosecutor, who is a confectioner in John's-row, Hoxton, but had each left of their own accord, the eldest boy about a week, and the youngest on the 14th of July, the night before the robbery. On the following morning, about four, a Mr. Pettifer, a neighbour, was awoke by the barking of his dog, and, looking out of the window, saw the bigger boy put the small one over the wall. He watched them some time, and then called the police, but before they got into the house the prisoners had escaped. They then roused the prosecutor, who found that his cash-box and watch were gone, the thieves having got in by the back window. The police instantly went to the house of the prisoners in Henry's-place, Hoxton, and found them in bed, when they told the boys what they were charged with, and said they should search in a tank for the produce of the plunder, when the girl said, "If you want the money you had better look in the yard." They, however, did look in the water tank, and there found the watch and money. A fire had been recently lighted in the kitchen with some wood that resembled the broken portions of pro secutor's cash-box, and, upon searching the water closet, the part that had the lock to it was found, the wood round it being charred. His LORDSHIP, after hearing the evidence, said there was no charge against the girl. The jury Acquitted her, and found the two boys Guilty. A person named Pitt, a watchmaker, said he had known the family for years. The children were orphans, and the girl had worked very hard and most honestly to support the family, earning from Gs. to 17s. a week as a milliner. The COMMISSIONER said that it was but just to let it be known that her character was not affected by what had now occurred. She was then carried out of the dock, crying most , piteously, and begging for mercy for her little bro ther, who also was crying bitterly, and the scene was a most painful one. Mr. Pitt told the Court that he would take the little boy if the Court would deal mercifully with him. Mr. GURNEY said that he might take him away on Saturday morning; with regard to the elder prisoner, his offence was a bad one to lead his little brother into crime, and he sentenced him to twelve months' im prisonment and hard labour. The Under-Sheriffs, after the case had concluded, made a most minute inquiry into the poor girl's cir cumstances, and found that she bad a severe struggle to keep the family. Her father had died about four teen months ago, when she had to pawn her bed to pay for his funeral, and had not since been enabled to redeem it. They, therefore, humanely ordered that a sum of money should be given her for her present wants, and promised that either by security or money they would do all in their power to keep her in her business. Frederick Weston, 25, carver, was indicted for an attempt to murder George Yates and Peter Yates Mr. Platt prosecuted, end by the direction of the Under-Sheriff, Mr. J. W. Payne watched the case for the prisoners. The facts disclosed were of a most horrible nature. The prisoner was son-in-law to one of the prosecu tors, and brother-in-law to the other. Oa Sunday, the 16th of May last, he went at half-past eleven at night to their residence, and began to throw ston es at the window, and the father went out and told him to go home; he would not, and shortly after the bro ther-in-law went out to get some beer, and spoke to a police-constable, and prisoner then came up and said, " I have you now," and instantly stabbed him in the belly, so that his bowels protruded, and he then cut him in the face. He then attacked the father-in law, stabbing him three times under the arm, once in the face, and then with such force in the head that the knife broke and left several inches of the blade sticking in the skull, from which it was with difficulty pulled out by the police-constable. He did not at tempt to escape, and when the police had secured him he coolly said, " I have had my revenge ; I shall be happy now. Tapping was hung, and so shall I be." He was convicted, and transported for 15 years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THAMES. A gentleman named Stockwell came before Mr. Ingham and stated that, being desirous of sending his son out to Sydney, he agreed with Messrs. Marshall and Edridge, shipbrokers in the City, to pay them 201. for a berth in the ship General Hewitt, and they stipulated to provide his son with- a place in which only two were to sleep, but, on visiting the ship, he discovered that in the berth appropriated to his son five others were to sleep. The berth was badly ven tilated, and he would not allow him to go out in the ship. He waited on Messrs. Marshall and Edridge and asked them to return 101. which he had paid as a deposit, or to provide his son with a properly ven tilated berth, in which only two were to sleep, ac cording to their promise, but they refused to do either, and he was under the necessity of engaging a passage in another ship for his son, who was now on his way to Sydney. Under those circumstances he wished to obtain a summons against the brokers for them to show cause why they should not be com pelled to refund the 101. which he had paid them. Mr. INGHAM asked the applicant if he had brought the usual contract paper with him ? Mr. St oc kwell said, the contract was a verbal one, and put in a re ceipt for the 101. he had paid, an d which receipt ex pressed that it was in part payment of 201. for a pas sage in the General Hewitt. Mr. INGHAM thought the applicant's son ought to have applied, and, if he had done so, the law would have been put in motion at once. Mr. Stockwell said he was anxious for bis son to arrive at Sydney at a certain time, and he could not have remained in England without disturbing many important arrangements. He ought; to state that be had received a letter from the agents, offering to pro vide his son with a berth in which only one other person was to sleep, as originally agr eed upon, but it was then too late. He had sent out his son with an other captain before he received the letterweeks. The aft G ere neral Hewitt sailed two da y s ago, three the time originally agreed upon. Mr. INows—Did you tender the remainder of tho passage -money to the brokers ? Mr. Stockwell— I did not, Sir. Mr. IsGuaaf, after reading over several clauses of the Passenger Act, said he did not think any o f them applied to this case , and he must refer the gen tleman to the County Court, where he would no doubt obtain redress far the breach of contract. His opinion was that the money ought to be returned, but, under all the circumstances of the ce;e, he did not think he had jurisdiction, and must decline grant ing the summons. Mr. Stock well—l asked for a portion only of the 101. Mr. D:WAAL—I think you are eptitled to the whole. 101., If you bring an action it must be for on the ground that the agents of the ship have refused to perform their contract. Mr. Stockwell thanked the magistrate and retired. Irishman, SOU (121 W ARK. looking Matthew Hayes, a powerful and determined. employed as a journeymen plasterer in Newington-causeway, was brought before M r Combo for examination charged with ca using the death of John Evans 'aged 54, by wilfully kicking him in the abdomen.

George Humphries, potman a t the Alfred's Head, Newington-causeway , state d, that about 9 o'clock on Saturday night, the 7 th inst. , he saw the prisoner and ano ther man fighting in the public -house. Evans, the deceased, was s t anding close by, looking nor o n . Wit n ess and the prisoner's wi fe p ulled prim away; riso t of the house, and en deavoured to get h but he broke away from them, rushed into the house, and recommenced the fighting. He shortly afterwards heard that deceased had been kicked by some one, but he did not see who did it. Mr. CoatnE—Did you see deceased interfere with the fight ? Witness —I did not. Ile was not near the persons, so far as I could see. Mr. COMBE—Did you see anything p ass be tween the prisoner and de ceased which might have caused his death ? Witness—No, I did not. The barmaid at the Alfred's Head was next exa • mined. She said she saw the prisoner and another man fighting. She also saw the deceased in tbe house on the night in question, but she did not see anything occur to him. Mr. COMBS observed that, according t o the evidence of the witnesses, there was no pretext for chargi.ng prioner wih cauing the mn's deah. Ile in the ° quired s whether t s there were other witnessets b e fore th e coroner. Sergeant Gardner replied t hat there were several others. Mr. COMBE—Can any one prove that the deceased was struck or kicked by any one ? The son of the deceased came forward, and said lis was with him at the time, but he did not She nOn injured. He led his father from the house, be told him that he had been kicked on the abdomen be one of the two men who had been fighting.

Witness—NO, be did not, Sir; he wall suffering too much. Robert Skimes, a labourer, said be was in the hon ss k i cked ..B when the fight was going on, and the prisoner where au at him, but missed him. He must have kicked i n deceased. Mr. COMBS—Did you se e him kick the deceased ? Witness—l did not see deceased at all. nesses , wi rise Mr. COMBS, after hearing other witg' gave similar testimony, said he was surpd atrt be 10 coroner's jury returning a ver dict of manslaughte t' prove such a case. There was no more evidence to Pr h _. that the prisoner inflicted the in j ur y on deceased P. that he did himself. Mr. Roberts, who attended on behalf of the Pr i ; sonar, concurred in his worship's opinion. Il e b w ri e astonished that Mr. Payne, the coroner, should upon i s s u s c u h ed ev h i i d s e w nn a e r . rant for his client's apprehension Mr. COMBE told him that be could do nothin.g it ; the case. The coroner's inquest had brough t T he verdict of manslaughter against the prisoner, an d he must be tried on it. He should discharge him ', 0 1, 0 this court, but the constable would imrnediatelY.',ed him to Newgate on the warrant. He only . w 1.'" 0 ,.. that he had the power to take bail, under the ciru_l'i n6 t stances, as there was not a tittle of evidence agal him. h i s wors,‘hlP Mr. Roberts said he was aware that could not take bail, but be should apply to a jildg",. or Mr. COMBE said there would be no necessOY:ea that. The prisoner could be immediately conveyed to Newgate, and, if the circumstances of ttT . 1 , were mentioned to Mr. Clarke, the clerk of tpe_n_ o reigns, he would be tried directly, as there vfais.,L'ot necessity to go before the grand jury. He could help expressing his surprise both at the coron er jury. It was the most extraordinary verdict he bed ever heard of. There was not the least evideni show that the prisoner was the perscn who inflict?! the injury, or that he was near the deceased at tnv the *le : time. The prisoner was then di s charged b y trate, and conveyed by Sergeant Gardner to IN v^ .ate on the coroner's warrant. _ -------------- SEABORNE MA- 1 - 1 A S.
