No. 1., Published JANUARY 7th and 86,, Price FIVEPENCE. It is not a little extraordinary that the Horticulturists of this king dom have had as yet no Journal to advocate their interests, or sup port their claims, for no class was ever better calculated to support a Journal, or occasionally more required its advocacy. We speak of Gardeners as scientific men—men who not only take an interest in the cultivation of the earth, but in genoral are reading men, calcu lating men, and, from the very nature of their profession, thinking men; nor does it alter our position if we take all the grades of Gar deners. The Duke of Devonshire .is a Gardener; for though he does not necessarily dig the ground, nor plant his own cabbages, he pays others for doing the labour and attending to his garden,. front his head-man downwards, and takes an extraordinary interestmthe results. Again, the poor man that cultivates a rod of groun d is a Gardener, and takes as mach pride, or as much interest in his avo cation as the most wealthy ; in fact, every body who takes aninte rest in a flower, or a vegetable, and studies its progress, is a Gar dener. Gardeners exist in all stations, from the labourer to the prince, just as the poorest soldier in the ranks is a soldier, as well as all above him, up to the Duke of Wellington ; in fact, as Mr. Hud son says or sings, " We're all Gardeners." The sort of Journal re quired, is one containing news of every thing that passes ; notices of all the new plants, constant reports of proceedings of all meet ings; systematic exposure of all evils; censure of all abuses; and above all things, when other interests are advancing at the expense of Gardening, a bold and uncompromising defence until the tide is turned, and, if necessary, an attack on its enemies afterwards. All these are essential. Turnpike Bills, the Tithe Question, Taxes, regulations for importing Foreign produce, and many other ques tions, have, may, and will again arise for the exercise of the whole strength and influence of a Journal ; and the superiority of a weekly over a monthly publication requires no comment. Had there been such a Journal in the days of alarm, when the malicious re port that vegetables were injurious to health and promoted Cholera was spread abroad, the gross delusion could hare been dispelled in a few days, instead of operating in the ruinous abstinence of the pub lic for months, destroying thousands of pounds worth of bustriese, and reaching all the classes, from the grower to the consumer. The announcement of two such Journals threatened to split the science into two parties, and, what is worse, to double the expense of snaking any thing public ; for as, in all probability, one or the ether would find its way into the hands of every one interested in any branch of Horticultnre, and neither of the Journals mach more than half, whatever it might be desirable to advertise, must have appeared in both ; and it is impossible not to foresee many other disadvantages. Happily, by an arrangement between the parties, the united strength of both will now be devoted to one Newspaper only, and this can be transmitted by the ordinary Post free of ex pense. Advertisements inserted will reach every Town and Vil lage is the Kingdom, and if we do not greatly underrate the classes who delight in Horticulture, from the highest to the lowest, titers will scarcely be found one who does not, in the course of the week, peruse the Gardener's Gazette. The Newspaper will give a faithful record of all great political events abroad and at home, but it will not venture to give a political opinion of its owe. Where a question is sufficiently important to deserve it, the most talented article that shall have appeared during the week.on each side shall be inserted, that the readers may be well acquainted with the subject, and the name of the papers in which they have appeared shall be quoted. But when a question which affects the interests of any branch of Horticulture or Agricul ture may be agitated, the Gardeners' Gazette shall be foremost in the field, and not the least effective. It remains only for the Gardeners—we repeat again—from the Duke downwards, to do their duty by their Gazette, as faithfully as the Gazette will do its duty by them, and some of these duties the Proprietors will, in all modesty, venture to point nut :- 1. The Nobility and Gentry throughout the kingdom should pro vide their Gardeners with it, free of expense. 2. The Gardeners who may not be so supplied, should order it nevertheless, and being practical men, should, whenever they have an opportunity, supply original papers on the cultivation, manage ment, and propagation, &c., of plants, descriptions of new ones, Sze. &c. 3. The Secretaries of Horticultural Societies should exhort all their members to order it, advertise all their shows in it, and supply immediate returns of the prizes awarded at such shows (which re turns will be gratuitously inserted as News), and communicate whatever may be deemed useful information. 4. The members of such Societies who take in a weekly paper, should immediately order their. Newsmen to change it for the Gar dener's Gazette ; such as do not take a Sunday paper, and cannot well afford it, should induce three or four others to join them. 1. Nurserymen should not only order it for their own guidance, for which it will be as necessary as their own stock-books, but they rhould also inform every customer of the advantages of possessing in a Newspaper a record of every thing that is passing in the Horti cultural and Agricultural world. 6. Nurserymen and dealers in every thing appertaining to horti culture, floriculture, arboriculture, farming and gardening, should adopt the Journal as the means of publishing their Advertisements, which, whether lists of plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, seeds, or de scriptions of tools, implements, machines, or of land, farming stock, or crops,—Auctioneer's catalogues, farms, houses or gardens to let or any other subject, can thus be placed in a single week in the hands of every body at all interested in them. We will just apprise Gardners cf all ranks that the expense of conducting the Gardener's Gazette will exceed two thousand pounds per annum : and that as the surplus on each Newspaper, beyond the cost of the stamp and paper, is one penny only, it re quires ten thousand copies per week to be sold to meet this ex pense, and of which number at present little more than five thou sand are ordered ; much, therefore, remains to be done before the next year. Orders for the regular delivery of the Gardener's Gazette may be given to any Newsman or Cl er k o f t h e R oa d i n t h e coun t ry , any Newsman in London, and in the want of either of these being in the neighbourhood, of a person who may require it, a letter (post paid) to the Editor, care of Westley and Clayton 162, Piccadilly, and 7, Windsor-court, Strand, will ins ure the delivery by post on Sunday mornings. Books, prints, plants, flowers, implements. seeds, &c. for notice, newspapers containing reports, orders for advertisements, original articles, and every other communication for the Editor, may be forwarded as above. Where the articles are worth the carriage and postage, of course it is not expected that it should be paid by the sender ; but in all matters of inquiry or orders the communicatio must be postage and carriage free.

Mr. O'Connell has addressed a not unimportant letter to the Southern Reporter, on the sub ject of his (Mr. O'Connell's) proposed amendment to the Irish Poor-law Bill. The Learned Gentleman says, " I deem his amendment" (which is calculated to exempt the occupiers of all land, except grazing land, from payment of poor-rate) " of the utmost importance, and to be founded on a principle of obvious utility. The occupier of tillage, or ornrnnental land, employs labourers, gives wages, and sup ports some of the poor in the best way, by stimulating and rewarding their industry. I would leave him all the money he has at present, to be employed in that way—of course, whatever was taken from him in the way of rate, there would he less in his bands to pay wages." After combating two ohjections made by the Reporter, and acquitting the ob jector of blame for not distinctly nowing the intricate and obscure machinery of the Bill, Mr. O'Connell gives an Abstract of it ; and then proceeds, in con clusion, to make the following remarks :—" It is pro posed to give relief to a number not exceeding 80,000, in 100 workhouses, 800 to each workhouse. When one looks at Dublin, and sees how little is done to dimi nish pauperism there, although I can show that at least 108,0001. arc annually expended for that purpose, will it be doubtful whether much can be done for all Ireland, in cluding Dublin, out of a rate which will amount to about 400,000/. a year ? I confess I shudder at laying on a taxa tion of 400,0001. per annum on so impoverished a country as Ireland I do not think that those whose humanity prompts them to call out for Poor-laws, sufficiently reflect on the hardship which will be inflicted on those who will have to pay the rate. A Poor-law will not give us addi tional property ; a Poor-law is not a fund to be furnished us by England, or by any other country. It creates a taxation of ourselves—for beneficent purposes to be sure, at least in intention and design—but still a taxation. The sum Ireland pays to the general revenue is about four millions. The Poor-law will add four hundred thousand pounds ; that is exactly another tithe. I claim some pity for all the poorer classes of rate-payers, and I think it is a fallacious benevolence which overlooks the rate-payers, especially the poorer classes. The experiment of Poor-laws, however, must be made in Ireland ; I have been deserted upon this sublject by many whose support enabled me to overcome other difficulties. I, therefore, give my support to the Government plan, endeavouring to improve it as much as possible. I support it, but do not approve of it. I submit to it as a necessity—an inevitable necessity. I have considered the subject in all its bear ings —I trust I have honestly and conscientiously considered it. Ireland wants to be relieved from poverty, by taking away the causes which have inflicted that poverty on a fer tile and most productive country. A Poor-law does not even purport to destroy or affect " the causes" of poverty. It merely asserts that it gives sustenance to the destitute, who at present arc sustained in another, it is said in a worse, shape—but if the cheerless improvement of a workhouse be not as bad as the present system, it is hard to find a rival for our present misery. I repeat, however, my determina tion to support the present Bill—to improve it if I can— but at all events to support it. But I do not foresee any good it will do, commensurate with the evil it will neces sarily produce. It is, however, an untried experiment, and it must be made before we can go farther." The Corporation of this city have granted the use of the Town Hall and Assembly Rooms to the citizens who intend to entertain Mr. O'Connell to a Public Dinner during the recess. We understand that considerable sums of money changed owners during the deliberation of the Town Council on the subject. Certain of the Ultras bet heavily that the loyal and ancient Corporation would not in any thing iden tify itself with "the Arch Agitator and enemy of our muni cipal institutions." The Council have also, we learn, signi fied that they will grant any other necessary accommodation in their power to give—and will place at the disposal of the Dinner Committee their constables during the occasion. Who will not say that " a change has come o'er the spirit of the times ?"--Tfratettord Chronicle. CONVICTION OF A MURDERER. At the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh, on Satur day, Alexander Miller was tried on a charge of having murdered 'William Jarvie, on the li).th of November last, in the parish of Stirling. On the day in question deceased-, who was an old man, had been left safe in the house by William Laing and his wife, who lived under the same roof with him, when they-went out in the morning to work in a potato field. When they returned in the afternoon they culled to him, but received no answer, upon which Laing's wife said, could the old man be murdered ? In her evi dence she stated that on missing deceased her husband had said to her, " Can Scatters have murdered him Scatters , vas a nielin‘rne by which the prisoner went in the neigh bourhood. She afterwards went in - company With a man named Eadie to seek deceased. They examitied - a barn, but did not find him there. On going to the byre they found his body lying under the hedge, murdered. His head was completely smashed, and one of his arms broken. Some clothes and his watch had been taken 'away from his dwelling. A stick was found near the body. with. grey hairs upon it. The prisoner had confessed voluntarily to an acquaintance that he killed the deceased ; and subse quently attempted suicide. The evidence was very con elusive against him. The Jury, after nearly an hour's de liberation, returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Judge sentenced him to be executed at Stirling on the Bth of April. The prisoner is only nineteen years of age, but of so bad a character and reckless disposition that when the murder was committed it was remarkable that everybody agreed in pointing lu im out as the most likely to be the guilty party. The culprit is about the middle size, of a fair com plexion, and possessing a slender though athletic frame. He was an excellent shot, and displayed uncommon ad dress and activity. A wall is shown in the village of Denny of nearly seven feet in height, which he has been seen to clear: several times ; and, indeed, had he not been en dowed with morothan ordinary agility and physical energy he would never have baffled the pursuit for such a length of time. It commenced at ten o'clock in the morning, and about forty people joined in it, but he still manned to dis tance them all ; and although at intervals fresh parties joined in the hue and cry he held out until two o'clock, being literally beset and chased on all sides during the long period of four hours, and a run of fifteen miles. His father was a person of the same idle habits and like activity. On one urgent occasion he accomplished, on foot, a journey from a part of Stirlingshire to Greenock, being a distance of forty-seven miles, in the marvellous short space of eight hours, or about six miles an hour. He was known by the by-name of " Scatters," arising, as the story goes, from his loading his gun in such a particular manner that he could scatter the shot and kill an unusual quantity of game with one charge. This name or title descended to his son, the present unfortunate youth, to whom it is too well suited. At a public meeting of the electors of Kendal a very numerous Committee was formed for the purpose of in viting a proper person to succeed Mr. Barham in the repre sentation of that borough. No fewer than seven candidates responded to the invitation of the Committee, but the fa vourites were Mr. Wood, of Manchester, and Mr. Moorsom, of Airy Hill, near Whitby, both gentlemen of the highest cha racter and respectability, but the latter, judging from the de claration of their principles, a more decided Reformer. On a division of the Committee the votes were very nearly equal. Mr. Wood obtained a small majority, though from his declared opposition to the ballot and other questions which are at pre sent considered a sine qua non with most liberal constituencies, this result was by no means generally expected. Of course Mr. Wood will receive the united exertions of the Committee to promote his success. His return may be considered certain. The topography of watch-making at home and alircad would present a vast number of curious and interesting facts. In c onsequence o f t h e m inute subdivision of labour in this trade, it is said that there are only three places in the United Kingdom where a complete watch can be manufac tured--,London, Liverpool,-and Coventry. The business has been introduced at the latter place entirely since the year 1800, and the number of persons employed in it there is now supposed to equal the number in the metropolis. There are innumerable places besides these where some part of the ma. nufacture is carried on ; the town of Whitchurch, in Hamp shire, for instance, is employed entirely in the making of hands.—Mechanics' Magazine. The Learned Judges arrived here yesterday, and after having opened the Commission of Assize for the county of Sussex, went to church. At ten o'clock this morning Sir N. C. TINDAL took his scat in the Crown Court, and delivered the charge to the grand jury. Mr. Justice VAUGHAN preSided in the Civil Court, Eleven causes are entered, one of which is a special Jury. The businesS on the Crown side is not heavy, either as regards the number of the prisoners (there are thirty-six) or the character of the offences. CROWN COURT.—Caius Baker, a blacksmith, was placed at the bar, charged with breaking and entering the dwell ing -house of Henry Hodges the elder, at Beckley, with intent to steal therefrom. Henry Hodges, jun., is the son of the prosecutor, and lived with his father who is the Rector of Beckley, in the rectory house. About half-past one o'clock on the morning of the 19. th of December last, he was awakened by hearing the sound of footsteps. He got up and looked out of the window, but could not see anybody. The sound continuing, he awoke his father's footman, and they both proceeded down stairs, and went into the yard. He opened a gate, which was about seven yards from the storehouse window, and the footman rushed forward and caught hold of the prisoner. They then examined the storehouse win dow, and found it open, and a pane of glass removed. • A bar was lying on the side of the window, which appeared to have been wrenched out. There was also a chisel placed between the window and the shutters. Mr. CLARKSON, for the prisoner, called witnesses to character. Sir N. C. TINDAL, in summing up, said there was no doubt the crime of burglary was complete. They would, however, say whether the prisoner was guilty of the offence with which he was charged. There being some difference of opin;on among the Jury they retired, and - after hiving been absent for a short time returned with a verdict of Guilty, but a recommendation to mercy on account of the prisoner's previous good character. Sentence of death was recorded, but the Learned JUDGE intimated that the recommendation of the Jury should be attended to'. OXFORD CIRCUIT.-SH SBURY, 31411C17 21. APOTHECARIES COMPANY V. NICE. This was an action brought by the Master and Wardens of the Apothecaries' Company to recover from the de fendant, a young man who resides at Broseley, in this county, nine several penalties of 201. each, for havinc , prac tised as an apothecary without being duly qualified for that purpoile. _ _ Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, in stating the plaintiff's case, said, that at an important early period apothecaries were only persons who sold drugs and compounded medicines which were prescribed by physicians ; but in 1815 the Legislature, finding that they had gradually become ge neral practitioners, and that the public required a guarantee that those by whom they were attended should be competent and skilful persons, passed an Act of Parliament, by which the Society of Apothecaries was in corporated, and which directed a Board 'of Examiners to be appointed, without whose certificate no person should thereafter be allowed to practice as an apothecary who had not been in practice previous to the passing of the Act ; and any person guilty of a breach of those provisions sub jected himself to a penalty of twenty pounds for every offence. In the present case, the defendant had on several occasions acted as apothecary without possessing the cer tificate which the Act of Parliament made necessary. A great number of witnesses were called, to establish the nine different cases -in which the defendant was sought to be charged. Mr. MAtmr, for the defendant, contended that almost all the cases in which the defendant was proved to have administered medicines were purely of a surgical nature, in which case be would not be liable under the Act of Parliament in question. Mr. Baron BOLLAND having summed up the evidence, the Jury found a verdict. for the plaintiff for three of the penalties claimed, and for the defendant upon the re - - minder. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-LRICESTFR, 111.411 CH 20 Willirine Johnson, twenty-one years of age, was charged with the wilful murder of Thomas Burton, at Barrow upon-Soar, on the 3d of September last. The prisoner seemed sensibly affected by the awful situation in which he had placed himself by his passions, and wept almost the whole time the trial was pending. Lord ABINGER having summed up, the Jury returned a verdict of Man slaughter, and he was, thereupon, sentenced to be trans ported for life. TUESDAY, MARCH 21. John P, att , a baker, residing at Barrow-upon-Soar, in this county, was placed at the bar on a charge of bigamy. The circumstances of this case were somewhat singular. Pratt, in 1804, had married his first wife at Sycrscourt, in Nottinghamshire, and after residing with her for six months she thought fit to run away with a conjuror of the name of Ingleby, and, after having been absent from her husband till 1811, she suddenly returned, and made a demand upon him for maintenance. He told her she was a very bad one, but he supposed he was liable ; and accordingly an arrangement was-come to, and it was agreed he should allow her 4s: a. week. She soon after this went off again, still in the company of the conjuror, and did not return till 1817, When she once more visited her husband in order to claim the arrears, which were paid, and soon after she went down to Chatham, and sailed from thence for America, the con juror still sticking to his bargain. A report soon after got wind that both her and the conjuror had gone to the bot tom, and the lady not making her appearance, Mr. Pratt married again. It was not until these last few weeks that the slightest doubt was entertained but that she had perished, when, unluckily, all doubts on that head were soon dissipated in the shape of an application for relief to the parish officers of Loughborough, who accordingly insti tuted the present prosecution. . _ The case having proceeded some length, the Jury acquitted the prisoner. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—CIIIRAIDOS,LincH 21. GRANGER V. GARNER. This was an action of trover, to recover the value of goods to a large amount. James Tweedie was a dentist at Cambridge, and being insolvent in December last, gave a ft' arraiit of attorney for 1301. to the defendant, who was his brother-in-law. On the 13th of January following an execution was put into Mr. Tiveedie's houSe, at the suit of Mr. Job Swain, for 56/. This execution was paid out by the plaintiff, on the promise of the defendant to join with Mr. Tweedie in a note to the amount. When the execution, however, was discharged, defendant refused to join the cote, and the plaintiff's attorney, in addition to the note of Tweedie, took the additional--gccurity of a warrant of attorney for 601. In February plaintiff issued execution on this war- rant, and found, to his surprise, that, on the 2'2d January preceding, all the goods of Tweedie had been seized in exe cution at the suit of the defendant, and transferred to him by bill of sale. The plaintiff accordingly took Tweedie in execution, and he having petitioned the Court, was, re manded for nine months, ou the ground of a fraudulent pre ference having been given by him to the defendant. The plaintiff, as assignee, now sought to recover the value of the goods so transferred. A variety of evidence was produced on either side, but the case was eventually left to the jury ) upon the point whether they considered the transactions connected with the bill of sale fraudulent or not ; and, they having found there was no fraud on the part of the defendant, a verdict was entered for him accordingly. CROWN COURT.—Robert Brown, aged 18, and James Death, aged 15, were indicted for having, by violence and threats, robbed on the King's highway Robert Newman of sundry pies, buns, sweets, and a pair of shoes. The . Jury found the prisoners Guilty, and sentence of death was recorded. William Smith, the son of a Gyp of Trinity College, was indicted for stealing a watch, value 71., from the dwelling -house of Frederick H o ddi n g. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, recommending him to mercy on account of his tender age (twelve), and of the great temptation to which he had been exposed by the pro secutor's having left his property in such an unprotected state. In both these views his LORDSHIP concurred, and ex pressed his intention of giving all due effect to the wishes of the Jury, though by law he was obliged to pass sen tence of death. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. B OW- STREET. Yesterday Zachary Cave, a waggoner, was brought be fore Sir F. ROE, charged with having stolen a parcel con taining linen-drapery, &c., of the value of 121., from Wil liams's Reading coach, on the '2d of March. The prisoner, in his defence, had been on the 2d of March to visit his brother, who lived at Reading, and was On his way to toon at night when he found the bundle and On Monday Mr. George Tugdcn, overseer of the parish of Bathwick, Somersetshire, was summoned to appear before the Magistrates of this office by the overseers of the parish of St. Pancras, to show cause why he refused to pay the sum of 53/. 13s. 6d., due upon a suspended order of removal, under the following circumstances: — Mr. Brace (of the firm of Brace and Kearslev, szilicitors) attended for the defendant, to conduct the case during ilia absence :—Charles Corfield and his wife, who resided in St. Pancras parish, were attacked by severe illness, when an application was made to the overseers for relief, and they, together_with their three children, were received into the workhouse, where they were for twelve months, receiv ing every, necessary medical treatment and support, until they could be removed to their legal settlement at Bath wick, which was ascertained through the usual examination. The proper notice was forwarded of their removal to the defendant, by post ; but, on application being made to him fur 53/. 13s. 6d., he refused to pay the demand. Mr. Brace bad received instructions from his cliant, and had to contend whether it was legal or not, under the 81th and 79th sections of the Poor Law Amendment 'Act, to send the notice by post: Mr. LAING said that the Act said it was by " post" or " otherwise," and that ten days' notice of suspended order should be sent to the Overseers of the poor of the chargeable parish, with the copy ,of the examination upon which the order was made. Mr. Eves, Overseer of St. Pancras parish, served the order of suspension upon Mr. George Tugden, Overseer of Bathwick, for the support of Charles Corficld, his wife, and three children. The original copy was put. in the Post Office, to be forwarded to the ticfecdaint, and he afterwards served him with a copy of the exrder, which was signed by the Magistrates on the'3oth of 'October, 1835. It was di rected to the Overseers of Bata wick. Mr. LAING—Did the defend ant say that he had received the original notice ? Mr. Eves—He did not, but I could tell from his manner that he had. Mr. LAING—I have no hesaation in saying that it reflects very little credit on the parish ()Zeus of Bathwick, whoiia point of equity and law, must be: aware of their liability. Mr. Brace could do no more than act upon the instruc tions which bad been forwarded I,to him. Mr. LAING had no doubt as to their liability, but ho would defer giving any judgment on the rase until Wed nesday (yesterday), at twelve o'cb)42k, when be ordered all the parties to be in attendance. Yesterday, immediately on the .arrival of Mr. LAING, he ordered the case to be called o'n, and, addressing Mr. Brace, he said that no reasonable person could for a mo ment doubt the construction of the two clauses (the 79th and 84th) of the Poor Law Ame ndnient Act, and he would make out an order for the der eeadant to pay the sum demanded. Mr. Brace had since corresponded: with his client, and it appeared that he objected to the (I , 3itetor's bill, which con sisted of half the demand made, and that one of Corfield's children was kept at work whilst in the workhouse. which ought to be taken into consideration. Mr. Brace bad no instructions to poly the money. Mr. LAING then immediately sign ad a distress warrant, which was delivered over to Mr. Sti.wart, who expressed his intention to proceed forthwith to Uathwick with a pro per officer to execute it upon the goods and chattels of the defendant, upon whom the whole of Vale costs and expences will fall. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. The re-examination of a foreign woman, who gave the name of Matie Smith, on a charge of shoplifting, took place yesterday before Mr. DYER, the sitting Magistrate. The prisoner was taken into custody on Saturday last, and since that time the police have I - Di en making inquiries as to her character, and have succeeded in discovering that her real name is MadeMoiselle Dalinas, a teacher of lan guages, and. living in very good style: at No. 62, Great Portland-street. When her apartments were searched pro perty consisting of whole pieces of libbon, new women's and girl's shoes, pieces of chintz, trinkets, &c., surficient to load a small cart, were found, and judging from the de scription of the articles and the offense which the prisoner is accused of, it is very generally belioned they are the pro duce of her plundering propensities. When the prisoner was first brought before Mr. Dyer she affected to be insane ; but as the attempt only created ridicule, she next adopted the pretenc(s of not understand ing English. Both the witness and tie police, however, proved that she could understand and speak the language very well. After evidence had been adduced, tlie pris , irer declined saying anything, and the parties vrlere bound over to prosecute. Q UEEN. S Q UARE. Edward Egar, Henry Jo;:esalias bukrwoed, and Eliza beth Freeman, were yesterday placed at the bar, charged with having committed divers burglaries in the neighbour hood of Chelsea. During the last three weeks the number of robberies committed in the vicinity of the King's-road has been immense, and, despite the vigilance of the police, the offenders have invariably contrived to escape detection. The case proceeded in was that of 3. H. Bayford, Esq., of the King's Parade, whose house was entered..on the night of the 15th inst., and robbed of a quantity of plate and other property. Mr. Bayford—He went with the officers to a house oc cupied by the prisoner Egar and the female, and there saw a great part of the plate and property which had been stolen. A ponce constable of the E division proved apprehending .Egar and Freeman at Westminster. Egar said, " t know what you want me for ; have you got Jones ? " • W. Rowland, a police constable of the H. division, ob served Jones walking, with a coat on his arm, in Whitecha pel. Suspecting lie had stolen it, he took him into custody. The coat was one of those stolen from Mr. Bayford's hall, and a pair of shoes found on the female prisoner wera, the property of the servant Frost. Other evidence proved finding the plate, and an immense quantity of stolen articles from other places, concealed under the ground in Egar's cellar. The prisoners, who made no defence, were fully com mitted for trial on this charge. Inspector Price, of the V division, observed that there were four more perfect cases against the prisoners, in which property found in their possession has been identified. Mr. GREGORII ordered the prisoners to be brought up again on Saturday, in order that the other charges might be preferred. MAR YLEB ONE. Yesterday, William Collins, a hay-salesman, of Padding ton, was charged before Mr. Rawliuson, with having as saulted his wife, Amelia, a lady of Amazonian appearance. Mrs. Collins had been married about five yews,' and her husband had latterly behaved to her with much harsh ness. On Monday afternoon they had a few words, when he tcok the law into his own bands, and gave her a sound beating. Mr. RAWLINSON (to the husband).—Your wife tells . a very plain short story ; what have you to say to it? Husband—l vish my story was as short ; the boot is on the other leg, your Vership. Mr. RAWLINSON—The boot on the other leg. What do you mean ; have you only one boot between you, then? Husband—Your Vership's not awake to my meaning. • Mr. RAWLINsON—I confess I am not. Husband—l'll hcxplain the sense of them ere words. Mr. RAWLINSON—WeII do ; but come quickly to the point. liusband—Your Vership's sharp upon the pint I see, FO I'll come to it directly. The fact is, that instead of my beating my rife, she whops me, and no mistake. There she is (pointing to his rib), let her deny it if she can. The lady stood perfectly mute. Mr. RAWLINSON—That's commonly- called wearing the breeches, I think, and not the boot. Husband (scratching his head)—Zactly so, and now tell yer Vership some of her capers. Last Monday as ever vos ye had a slap up dinner of mutton-chops, so I sets down with my wife and helps her to one of the largest and hand somest in the-dish, and told her to make her life happy. " I arn't ready for it yet, says she." "Vy not ?" says I. Cause I've no happytight," cried she. " How's that, my dear ?" says I again very lovingly. " I should like to give you a punch or two on the head first." " Wot for ? " says I, in astonishment. " Only just to give me a happytight for my dinner," says she very coolly, and so she immediately jumps up and pitches right and left into my chops, which she had no right whatever to make so free with ; so I puts my hands to defend my mug from further damage, and ti:at's wet she calls suiting her. Mr. RAWLINSON—Does she drink? Husband—Yes, yer Vership, she's very fond of a drop, As the lady did not attempt to impugn the correenus of her husband's statement, she was nousuited.
