CREATURES OF THE ANCIENT WATERS. These shoals were alive with myriads of inverte brated animals, and crowds of sharks hovered about, feeding upon the larger forms. There were also nume rous other animals belonging to those remarkable groups which I have attempted to describe in some detail. Imagine, then, one of the monstrous ani mals, a Plesiosaurus, some sixteen or twenty feet long, with a small wedge-shaped crocodilian head, a long arched serpent-like neck, a short compact bady, pro vided with four large and powerful paddles, almost deve loped into hands, an animal not covered with brilliant scales, but with a black slimy skin. Imagine for a moment this creature slowly emerging from the muddy banks, and half walking half creeping along, making its way towards the nearest water. Arrived at the water, we can under stand from its structure that it was likely to exhibit greater energy. Unlike the crocodile tribe, however, in all its proportions, it must have been equally dissi milar in habit. Perhaps, instead of concealing itself in nand or among rashes, it would swim at once boldly and directly to the attack. Its enormous neck stretched out to its full length, and its tail acting as a rudder, the power ful and frequent strokes of its four large paddles would at once give it an impulse, sending it through the water at a very rapid rate. When within reach of its prey we may almost fancy that we see it drawing back its long neck as it depressed its body in the water until the strength of the muscular apparatus with which this neck was provided, and the great additional impetus given by the rapid advance of the animal, would combine to pro. duce a stroke from the pointed head which few living animals could resist. The fishes, including perhaps even the sharks, the larger cuttlefish, and innumerable inhabitants of the sea, would form an easy prey to this monster. But now let us see what goes on in the deeper abysses of the ocean, where a free space is given for the operations of that fiercely carnivorous marine reptile, the Ichthyosaurus. Prowling about at a great depth, where the reptilian structure of its lungs and the bony apparatus of the ribs would allow it to breathe, we may fancy we see this strange animal, with its enormous eyes directed upwards, and glar ing like globes of fi re. Its length is some t hir ty or forty feet, and it has paddles and a tail like a shark. Its whole energies are fixed on what is going on above, where the Plesiosaurus or some giant shark is devouring its prey. Suddenly striking with its sh ort but compact paddles, and obtaining a powerful impetus by flapping its large tail, the monster darts through the water at a rate which tho eye can scarcely follow towards the surface. The vast jaws, lined with formidable rows of teeth, soon open wide to their full extent ; the object of attack is ap proached, is overtaken. With a motion quicker than thought the jaws are snapped together, and the work is done. The monster, becoming gorge], floats lan guidly near the surface, with a portion of the top of its head and its nostrils visible, like an island covered with black mud, above the water. Such scenes as these must have been every thy enacted during the many ages when the waters of the ocean were spread over what is now land in the eastern hemisphere, and when the land then adjacent provided the calcareous mud now forming the fins.—Ansteds Picturesque Sketches of Creation. THE GAME-LAWS AGAlN.—Whittering parish, near Stamford, this week falls in for a burthen consequent Upon the laws which preeect wild animals for the sport of the privileged few. A woman named Barrett, wife of a labourine man, hitherto said to be of irreproachable character, and who was a teacher at Whittering Sunday school, his applied at the Union board for relief for herself and children during the confinement of her husband in Peterborough gaol, whither he has been sent by the magistrates acting in St. Martin's, Stamford, charged with having taken up three traps which had betel set by one et . the Marquis of- Exeter's keepers to ca't's rabbits. The woman, when questioned, declared that no g2aie was found upon him, and that in conse quence Le hag been committed for trial at the sessions charged with stealing the trap: she added that bail was effered f r him, but refused.

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDFNT.—OD Sun day evening a your woman, neared Marglret )6alcolm, -residing in Cestlehilt, met her death in South Gray's Close, Iligh-street, in a very sudden and distressing manner. About twenty minutes past eight o'clock she, with two con , onnionq, left the United Industrial School, about the middle of that close, and bearing an umbrella, was proceeding up the close and passieg an old and high building, when as large stone, loosened by the stormy wind or rain, fell on her bead, and so fractured her skull that it caused immediate death. Fortunately both her com panions escaped, although a quantity of rubbish fell at the same time, and shortly after several other stones gave way, and some passers-by had a narrow escape. Tke body of the unfortunate deceased was carried to the -school room ; she was a, monitress, and very much liked by her pupils and acquaintances. On the circumstances being reported at the Police- office, several constables were sent to-prevent people passing up and down, until the state of the building can be ascerteined.—Caledonian Iticrcury. OPIUM IN AUiTRALIA.—Recent accounts from the antipodes announce the fact t; at the cultivation of opium has been census( need in the district of Western Austraiia with success of no mean amount, and a prospect of an important feature arising thereby et no distant period in the growing trade of our colonial empire in that pert of the world. The quality is reported to be very high. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION. BISHOPRIC OF GLOUCESTER AND BRISTOL.—The evidence in the case of the Rev. Mr. Richards, the incumbent of Horfield, has been published at large. It has been seen that there is evidence that Lord Melbourne entered into an under standing with Bishop Allen, that the valuable leases should be allowed to run out and go to augment the revenues of the Church; that the estimated value of the Horfield tithes and estates are 3,0001. a year; but that the incumbent has only 801. a year, besides 60/. allowed by Govern ment for doing duty at the barracks, near Bristol; that consequently, the incumbent and his curate have, on the average 1401. a year; and that the Bishop has neither continued his predecessor's customary annual payment of 5/.; nor done anything for the schools of the parish ; that his Lordship has an income which averaged 6,400/, on the last septennial calculation, and will on an aearage amount to at least 5,700/. a- year in future, besides his palace, and several valuable commendarns, the amount of which is net stated, but which would pro bably be underrated at 2,000/. a-year besides. It is under these circumstances that the Bishop proposes to renew the lives, instead of allowing the lease to de pend on one, which is expected to drop from month to month. To prevent this catastrophe, the commissioners have agreed to pay the Bishop 11,5001., which might otherwise have been employed for the general good of the Church.—Ow/ten/ma - Journal. CAuTroN.—The public, particularly officers in - the navy, should be on their guard against a system of fraud which is now attempted to igb carried on by, we under stand, a regularly organised gang of swindlers, who have an office where the materials for cheating are ready cut and dried. Information is obtained from old Navy Lists and other sources, and letters are written to offi cers, soliciting loans of money or contributions, pur porting to be from some old officer, now in distress, who served with them or under them at such and such a period, in such and such a ship, as the case may be— the letter detailing, in all cases, an affecting case of distress, and containing a printed copy, filled up, of a broker's warrant to distrain, if the rent should not be paid on or before such a day; with a schedule of the furniture in the house.

The gall an t officer, however, told th e circumst ance to a friend—inquiry followed, when he found that an other_ gentleman i n t h e serv i ce had received, a similar epistle, word for word, with the exception of the nam e of the ship, &c„ purporting to come from his late purser, and which, inquiry, turned out to be an attempt at fraud—ot money ouwrnassehe drew the same conclu sions, and the not forwarded.

Wright, in reply to the memorial from Suryalleric.lll* parish, we learn that his Lordship had promoted the Rev. J. Patrick Eden, Bishop Auckland (son-in -lase to Lord Beougham), to the vacant rectory of Bishop wearmouth. The Reverend Gentleman is chaplain to his Lordship, who pays him the compliment of saying the lose to him will be a serious one. From the same source we further learn that no portion of tho immense revenues of Bishopwearmouth will be appropriated to the benefit of its poorer neighbour, Sunderland. The reason assigned is, that Bishopwearmouth itself requires them all, the different chapels defendant on the rectory being about to have their emoluments increased. It is also stated, that after a careful investigation, in which his Lordship h a d t h e assistance of the late rector's steward and*veral gentlemen, iu Sunderland, the re ports as to the- revenues in question have been found to have been greatly exaggerated. The Rev. Mr. Eden, we understand, visited the rectory on Wednesday. The :distribution is to be as follows :-2,0001. is to consti tute the income of the rector. St. Thomas' Church, Bishopwearmouth, is to have 2001. St. Andrew's Dept ford, 1501. ; St. Mary's, Hylton, 100/. ; Trinity Church, Ryhope, 1601. The surplus (1,4500 is to be funded, and disposed of hereafter, according as the experience of the working of the above arrangement during the next three- years may point out to be most necessary. —Su n Berland Herald.

(From the AranchesieriGuardian of yesterday.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Operations in yarns for , the various markets of the European continent are sen sibly restricted by the firmness with which sellers adhere to their demands. Common 40's, 50's, and 60's, are, however, in fair request for India, a n d ow some tendency to an increased value. On the other hand, spinnings for home manufacture are not so much in de mand as they were, and it can hardly be said that they are quite steady at the highest price lately obtained. The advantage recently gained is held with a firmer hand by the manufacturers than by the spinners. The lighter descriptions of goods are easily disposed of at the attainable rates of last week, particularly fabrics suitable for India ; such as 40-inch shirtings, T cloths, madapollams, and jacconets; and, on such terms, there is a quiet and limited business doing in most other kinds of cloth. The heavy China shirtings, however, are still very dal]. Taking this day's market on the whole, it is easy to detect some degreo of irregularity, combined with great general firmness. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—For flannels, the market has been decidedly weaker than on the preceding Mond a y, and a more limited business has been transacted. There has also been a slack market for wool, arising, princi pally, from the dealers asking an advanced price for it. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The two candidates for the West Riding addressed the electors to-day in the Piece Hall, and business seemed to be completely forgotten in the midst of electioneering. In the warehouses, there is a better demand for goods, principally for moreens, which meet with a ready sale. Yarns continue to be in request for the continent, and the spinners are fully em ployed. In consequence of the late advance in wool, they have asked, and pretty generally obtained, a corre sponding advance on yarns. The wool market remains firm, and, in some sorts, there is a moderate amount of businessdoi I. lIUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—But little has been doing, and no alterati on i n pr i ce, although it was hoped that t h eh er r ao e sy s te u dl l o t t h o p f ee rtphrei cent.ceo Londonf over stoc k w ts o ho o on l s e s h a a l on e f s d , ;t hn eev whichlast,er t h h e a wl v eo e su p s r l, e dg e o l i goods ed haveds i a m t have been offered to-day quite as low as those before the sales commenced. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—Our market remains inactive, as far as this day's transactions at the Cloth Halls are concerned; we repeat, however, that fur the time of year the position of our clothiers is very satisfactory, owing to the bonafide orders which are in the course of execu tion. Prices continue steady, with the exception of such articles as are at present out of season. THE STANFIELD - HALL MURDERS. membered whether the murderer wore any such covering on his head, but neither of them would identify the costume, or say whether they thought the murderer was so attired. The CORONER said the jury were, he thought, not yet in a situation to arrive at their verdict. Some important evidence yet remained to be adduced, and, as he under stood the magistrates had appointed their adjourned examination of the prisoner Rush to take place on Fri day, perhaps it would be better to adjourn until an early day next week. The jury acceding to this sug gestion, the inquest was adjourned until Tuesday next, at twelve o'clock. The police have been engaged during yesterday and to-day in making a most minute and careful search of Rush's house, the Potash-farm, where ho slept on the night of the murder. Carpenters and masons are em ployed in removing the wainscot, and in examining every place in which it is likely that pistols could be secreted. Policemen are also engaged in searching the neighbouring hedge-rows and banks, to discover if there are any appearances of the soil having been newly turned; they are provided with trowels to assist in this search. It is the general belief that the weapon or weapons with which the murders were committed re main to be discovered. Two short double-barrelled guns were found in Rush's bedroom, and if the stock and barrel were concealed with the murderer's cloak, the muzzles might have been taken for those of pistols. But when it is considered what unwieldy weapons two guns must have been to a man prepared to make such rapid and deadly use of them as the assassin evidently was, and how much the prisoner would have been encumbered by one gun while he was taking aim and firing with the other, we seem to arrive with some certainty at the presumption that the discharges proceeded from pistols, and not from guns. No pistols have been found on the premises, which is considered to be the more suspicious as it is known that Rush has for several years been in the pos session of a revolving pistol having six barrels, which pistol cannot now be heard of. We understand that Mrs. Jermy continues to recover slowly. The unhappy lady, who was suffered to remain in ignorance of the funeral yesterday, was this morning informed that it had taken place. She received the information with quite as much composure as could have been expected. The lady's maid, whose wounds are more dangerous, is also a little better, and hopes are en tertained that she may yet recover. WYMONDHAM, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—We are at length enabled to give an authentic outline of the state ment made by Mrs. James, Rush's housekeeper, before the coroner and jury yesterday. Her evidence is ex ceedingly important, and raises a strong suspicion against the prisoner. The coroner refused to allow the repre sentatives of the press permission to peruse the deposi tions, nor would he state to them the purport of her ad missions, not because he hi mse lf t h ought.that the publi cation of her evidence would defeat the ends of justice, but because the jury and himself having been admitted by the magistrates into the Bridewell here upon suffer ance to examine the witness, he thought it right to defer to their suggestion that his investigation should be con ducted in private. Now that the real nature of her tes timony is known, there does not appear to be the slightest conceivable reason for withholding it; and the magisterial injunction to secrecy, and the exclusion of reporters from the examinations of the prisoner, can only be regarded as a piece of magisterial whim and caprice, happily becoming less and less frequent, even in our most benighted rural counties. Emily James is a rather pretty young woman of about 26 years of age, who lived with the prisoner Rush at the Potash-farm, and who is now enciente by,him.: She was called by the name of Mrs. James, but there is no reason to suppose either that she has ever been married or that James is her real name. She is said to have re ceived a superior education, and to have lived in the prisoner's family as governess to his children, under the name of Miss Sandford, until the illicit nature of the at tachment which existed between Rush and herself could no longer be concealed. Mrs. James and the boy Sa vory were the only persons who slept on the Potash farm with the prisoner on the night of the murder. She gave her evidence with great apparent frankness y ester day, and the impression produced upon the minds of the jury was that she was keeping nothing back, and was desirous to state the whole truth. Her evidence is to this effect :—On the night of the murder Rush had agreed to take Mrs. James to a concert at Norwich, given by Madame Dalcken. It was arranged that they should have tea earlier than usual, and at five o'clock Rush came home and found her dressed for the concert. Rush then said to her " I don't think I shall go to Norwich now, for I don't feel very well. Do you mind not going?" She immediately replied, that she did not care about going. Rush said, "If you particu larly wish it, we will go." She repeated,that she did not care about it, and it was agreed that they should remain at home. They sat down to tea about six, and lingered over the meal until a b ou t e i g ht o'clock, when Rush said, " I want to go out for a short time." She replied, "You had better not, as you will increase your cold." He took no notice, and proceeded to the back kitchen (pro bably for the purpose of being seen by the boy Savory), and thence upstairs into his bedroom. After remaining there for some few minutes he came down stairs, and went out at tho front door, without looking into the room where the witness sat so as to give her an oppor tunity of seeing or speaking with him. The prisoner could not make the front door latch after him, and he called to her to come and shut it. She went, but took no light, nor, she says, did she open the door to see him leave the house, so that she cannot speak to his dress or appearance when he lett the house. Rush held the door from tho outside until she had secured it after him, and he then went away. She returned to the sitting room where they had partaken of tea, and having removed the tea things, she read until about nine o'clock, as nearly as she can say, which would make him absent about an hour. She then heard him tap on the door with his knuckles, and went to let him in, but did not take a light. She drew the bolt of the door, said " It's undone," and then returned to her room. Rush waited a minute or two at the door after he heard her draw the bolt, and she had regained ber room before he entered at the front door. He went along the passage, and as he passed her door he called out " You had better go to bed." He then went upstairs without asking for a candle; bat this did not excite her surprise, as she knew he had wax tapers in his bed-room by which he could procure a light. Thus she had no opportunity, if she speaks truly, of seeing him either when he left the house or when he returned. The prisoner remained in his bed-room a few minutes, and then came down without his shoes, a n d so softly that she did not hear him until he opened the door of the room in which she was sitting. He held the door a little way open, with his hand upon the haudlo, and looked into the room. She then observed that he was in his shirt sl: eves. He said, " What a large fire you have got; put it out and go to bed." There was something in his manner that caused her to look at him more attentively, and she then observed that his face was deadly pale (he is naturally a man of very florid complexion), and that he appeared much agitated. She said, "Is there anything the matter with you ?" Ho turned from her and said, " No." After a short pause he added, " If any one asks you about me, say I was not out more than ten minutes."—(This is what the girl stated the next day before the magistrates.) He then went up stairs to his bed-room again, and locked the door. She took some of the heated coal s from the fire, and having a can of water in the room, she threw some of it upon the fire, and quenched it. She then retired to her bedroom. In the course of a few minutes she heard the door of Rush's room opened so as to make as little noise es possible, and heard the prisoner groping his way stealthily down stairs without his shoes. In the space of about two or three minutes :she heard him return upstairs with the same precautions, and re enter his bedroom. She then went to sleep, and did not awake until the morning, when she was aroused by the information that the police were in the house. The CORONER having taken down her deposition, called upon her to sign it. She replied that she had been induced from certain motives to a&utne the name of Mrs. James, and asked the C oroner b y what name she should sign the deposition. The Coroner declined to advise her upon this point, and she signed her name " Emily Jamas." She appears to be about five or six months ad vanced in pregnancy, and some difficulty may probably be felt its producing her as a witness at th e next March LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 6. Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice WILDE, Mr. Justice COLTMAN, Mr. Justice MAULE, and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) RENNET V. THE PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. In this case the declaration charged that the defend ants, being common carriers of passengers for hire, re fused to convey the plaintiff in their vessel (the Mont rose) from Southampton to Gibraltar.• The defendants pleaded—first, that they were not guilty; secondly, that they were not possessed of the vessel; thirdly, that they were not common carriers of passengers in the manner and form alleged; fourthly, that the plaintiff did not tender himself as a passenger; fifthly, that ho did not request the defendants to receive him as a pas senger; sixthly, that he was not willing to pay his fare; and, seventhly, that there was nut sufficient room for him in the vessel. It appeared from the evidence ad duced on the trial, that on the 27th February, 1847, the plaintiff applied for his passage, and was refused by a Mr. Andrews, who told him, on the part of the com pany, that he could not take him, and after some con versation on the matter, gave the refusal in writing. It appeared also thtt there was at the time of his refusal sufficient room in the vessel for the plaintiff. At this time there was a civil war pro gressing in Portugal; Oporto was under blockade, and the phiutiff was in intimate communication with Don Miguel. 'The defendants, who were bound to carry the mails to Oporto, refused the plaintiff a passage, believ ing that his object in going to Gibraltar was for poli tical purposes. At the trial, the Attorney-General, who appeared for the defendants, contended that an action would not lie against them for refusing to carry a passenger, for at common law they were not bcund in that capacity (in which character they were charged in the declaration) to do so. He also objected that the term " common carriers" did not apply to persons carry ing to foreign parts. The verdict was for the plaintiff-- damages, 2001. In Michaelraas Term, 1847, a rule nisi was obtained, on the motion of the Attorney-General, to show cause why a verdict should not be entered for the defendants or a new trial had. Mr. PETERSDORFP showed cause to-day against the rule. He contended that the form of the rule was incor rect, and that the motion should have been in arrest of judgment. MINING SHARES. The Mining Journal furnishes the annexed informs- Lion respecting business in mining shares and the results of late meetings : "From the amount of business transacted during the past few weeks, the general progressive improvement in the leading mines, and the apparent firmness of the metal market, we may reasonably consider that the mining share market is assuming a settled or permanent position. We learn from our local correspondents, that the several adventures are generally looking well and productive ; and, although foreign orders for copper are not nume rous, the home consumption is fair and progressing, in asmuch that the excessive stocks so lately complained of by the smelters are sensibly diminishing. Several Devon Great Consols have changed hands this week, sad buyers are still in the market; Set in, Treviskey and Barrier, South Wheal Basset, and Carn Brea, have been in re quest, and bargains effected in the two former. For West Caradon, Trelawney, and Mary Ann, there has been a lively inquiry, and several shares have changed hands. Shares in the following mines have been done during the week, viz.:—West Camden, South Wheal Frances, Gonamena, Treviskey and Barrier, Stray Park, South Roskear, West Frances, West Wheal Seten, Tre bane, Kirkcudbright, Trelawney, East Tamar, Mary Ann, East Pool, Ta mar Consols, Antimony, and Silver- Lead, Kingsett and Bedford, wm Erfin, East Wheal Josiah, Bedford United, Pennant, Tin Vale and Tres. coil. At the Wheal ',ilargaret meeting it was stated that, af:er paying a dividend of 121. per share, there was a balanc: in hand of 2271. At the Wheal Trehane meet ing a dividend of 255. per share was declared on July and August workings. A balance of 5911 was carried to credit, and 73 tons of silver-lead ores were sold on the 23..11, realising 191. per ton. At the South Caradon meeting the balance curried to the credit of the next secouut aas about 600/. The directors in Cern Brea have declared a divalend of 3/. per share. At the Tre saVean account meeting the loss on the two months ap peared to be about 50/.; but a balance in hand of 8211. exists, which has been carried to the credit of next ac count.

John del Rey, in consequence of the gratifying ad vices re:eotly received. Imperial Brazilian,Copiapo, United Mexican, Burossa Range, Bolancs, and Asturian, have also changed hands. Dispatches have been received by the Imperial Brazilian, National Brazilian, and St. John del Rey Companies. The Imperial Brazilian ad vices are to the 13th of October, and represent the ope rations at Bananel to be progressing satisfactorily. The gold returns from Gongo Soco and Bananal from the 13th of September to the 12th of October amount to 44 lb. 3 z. 19 dwts., and the total from the first of July, 171 lb. 11 oz. 8 dwts.

THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V. SI.OMAN. On the application of Mr. Sergeant BYLES, who ap peared for the defendant, this case was postponed till next term. INS OL VENT DEBTORS' COURT, Dec. a. (Before Mr. Commissioner LAW.) IN THE MATTER OF WILLIAM WOODOATE. This case was further heard, and occupied seven hours. Mr. Cooke opposed on the part of the Legal and Commercial Assurance Company. Mr. E. James and Mr. Duncan appeared for Mr. James Nevi ton and a Mr. Carroll. Mr. Nichols supported the insolvent. fThe complaint on the part of the company was that a sum of 4501. had been fraudulently obtained from them, and the object of the other two parties was to explain their position with the insolvent, which it was alleged, on their behalf, had been rendered necessary by the former report of the case. The insolvent, it appeared, owed in the aggregate upwards of 12,0001., and had been concerned in numerous bill transactions. On the other side his debts were about 5,0001., bat they were not recoverable to that extent. When greatly involved ho put forth his brother, Stephen Woudgate, who had been a bankrupt, to bor row of the Legal and Commercial Insurance Company 4501., and he offered him se lf an d M r. Carroll, who had been proprietor of the Satirist, as sureties. Mr. James Newton, a bill discounter, who held a cognovit of the insolvent, was the referee. The money was ob tained, and out of the same Mr. N ew t on got 3201., en a threat to levy an execution. It was stated by the refer ence clerk to the company that Mr. Newton said the insolvent was a good man for th e l oan.

The inquiry on the present occasion was of a lengthened character, with the view of ascertaining to whom credence was to be given. The insolvent, a solicitor, had not been long in practice. After the four counsel had addressed the Court, - Mr. Commissioner LAW express e d hi s op i n i on, an d subsequently pronounced judgment. Li e h a d no hesita tion, on the ev id ence g i ven, wou l d convict nsaying thpartthieast no juinthrfs case of a conspiracy to de fraud the company. But, with regard to the insolvent, it was quite clear that he h a d no chance of paying the money he had obtained from th e company, for he was at the time irretrievably insolvent , , worn out, and, instead of being a " good man,' was good f or not hi ng .

It will be observed that tho rumours so generally cir culated to the effect that the witness had stated that she saw Rush go out on the night of the murder armed with pistols and a mask over his face, pretending that he was going out after the poachers, are wholly destitute of truth. These rumours have been traced to some of the police, from whom the reporters had a right to expect to receive more accurate information. The prisoner has the greatest cause to complain of these exaggerated state ments, and the magistrates both in Norfolk and else where will do well to remember that the gravest respon sibilty lies upon them when they determine to conduct with closed doors the examination of a person charged with great crimes. Public rumour is always unjust to the prisoner privately examined under such circum • stances, and magnifies his guilt, while there is too much reason to suppose in many cases that country magistrates have no better reason for excluding the public than that their worships are in exclusive possession of a mys tery which every one else is exceedingly anxious to know. In the present case there is no reason to suppose the perpetrator of the tragedy at Stanfield-hall had any accomplices. The use of the name of the Larners as claimants of the disp u t e d estate i n the notices dropped lby the assassin in the hall, was manifestly an artifice to divert suspicion from the real murderer; and as the only parson at all suspected of being an accessary to the fact (Mrs. James) is now in custody, it is to be hoped the magistrates will no longer persist in excluding the public from their deliberations. After the dispatch of our report last night, the Coro ner having expressed a wish to hear something about the disputes which had taken place between the de ceased and the prisoner, a labourer named Stubbs was examined, who had been in the late Mr. Jermy's employment during the last seven years. He stated that on the day after the auction on the Stanfield-hall farm (when a distress had been put in by the deceased against the effects of the prisoner), he heard the elder Mr. Jermy say to the latter, Come, Mr. Rush, let us go in and settle our business, without law yers. I don't like lawyers at all." e Rush said, "I will bring that fellow Clarke (Mr. Jermy's solicitor) to his recollection," meaning "to his senses." Mr. Jermy added, "I hate lawyers, they are just like we barristers in London. They quarrel all day, and at night they have dinner and wine together, and shake hands." This witness farther deposed that a trial took place between Mr. Jermy and Mr. Rush last spring about a breach of covenant, when a verdict was returned against Rush, with 4201. damages. He had heard Mr. Jermy say that he and Mr. Rush could not agree as to the Potash-farm. This witness appears to have par ticipated in the general apprehension which has been entertained for some years past in the neigh bourhood, that Rush was a man who would not shrink from committing some desperate deed to attain his ends or satisfy his revenge; and he states that he warned Mr. Jermy to beware of Rush shortly before the murder. Stubbs deposed that, about a fortnight since, he said to Mr. Jermy, sen., "If I were you, I would not allow Mr. Rush on my premises after dark." The witness continued—" I would not speak to him after dark if I were you, for I think one day or another he will do you some serious injury." Stubbs was, of course, asked by the Coroner how be came to entertain so singular a presentiment, or what reason he had for giving the deceased gentleman so singular a caution. He replied, " I don't know how I came to use such an ex pression, but the thing was impressed strangely upon my mind. I thought at different times that Mr. Rush would do him a serious injury. I knew that Rush was very angry about the distress, and that a good deal of feeling existed in his mind towards Mr. Jermy in consequence of the distress" It does not appear that the de ceased Mr. Jermy attached any importance to tho prediction of his servant, or that he suf fered the members of his family to participate in the alarm which so ominous a warning was not unnaturally calculated to excite. Mr. Jermy made some reply to the witness when he warned the deceased against Rush, but eiFt acted. temper, e S taebrs bailiff thata aill ff ow shore.mh the Coroner stopped the witness, and would not allow him h h first to repeat to the jury what Mr. Jenny said in answer to u e u n t t i h o mention e d, ietdu, distresssh as aw wanted at o es o d f p of tuot tu l a t uk u e s t h h ae ' s sfta v or i vome zout .zedof the the ehouse,tuvu andl eut put the i i t u witness n th p e r u e a ve r zte s d a : .i ir g . , R "Theush with out exclaimed—. man who touches tha t I will bl ow The Asitness, who was not to be frightenedibsy t r h a i i s n s t h o r u ea t. t : s t I t a ° I !night as well be without brains as with te.tnd removed it from the cart.

CHESTER, WEDNESDAY.—The special assizes for the city and county of Chester commenced this day, before Mr. Baron Alderson and Mr. Justice Erle. The usual forms having been gone through, and the grand jury sworn, Baron Alderson addressed them at very considerable length, and, in thecourse of his charge, alluded pointedly to the political .convulsion which had happened over the whole of Europe during the present year, in the course of which even the mightiest fabrics of ecclesiastical power had crumbled to pieces, and he who had claimed the right of giving and taking away kingdoms was now a fugitive from his own people. He then referred to the present position of France, and pointed out the consequences which had fallen upon that country by political disturbances, as a warning to the disaffected in this country. CONSPIRACY AND MISDEMEANOUR. George Joseph Mantle, aged 22, a carver, pleaded not guilty to a charge of having at Hyde, on the Bth of August last, unlawfully conspired with others with force and arms to subvert the laws, to the terror of her Ma jesty's subjects. The Attorney-General (Sir John Jervis), Mr. Wels by, and Mr. Davidson appeared for the Crown. The prisoner conducted his own defence. The Clerk of the Crown road over the indictment against the prisoner, which included the speech of the prisoner delivered at Hyde. The speech was read, in which the prisoner urged upon the people to resort to physical force for the attainment of the Charter. He disregarded moral force, for it was of no avail. He ad vised them to arm themselves with pikes and other arms. The speech went on to say that they did not want Prince Albert and the royal children, and that they would send them to Germany to make German sausages. The Qaeen's allowance was too much, and also that of the Archbishop of Canterbury, which was 75,0001. a-year. The prisoner then told those of his audience who were for fighting and using pikes, and putting down the Go vernment, to held up their hands and give with him three cheers. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then rose to state the case on behalf of the Crown, and the trial was proceeding when our express left. It is not expected to be finished before to-morrow (Thursday). gr.

Thomas Powell, Guilford Hyde Mitts, and James Lewis were charged with having stolen nine packages of gold dust from the brig Lemuel, on the Western Coast of Africa. Mr. Hayward, feom the office of the Solicitor to the Treasury, appeared for the prosecution. He stated that Powell was chief mate, and Watts and Lewis were sea men, on board the Lemuel ; that Captain Vickerman, the commander of that brig, had received for delivery in England several packages of gold dust from merchants in Africa ; and that the three prisoners had, in the absence of the captain in consequence of illness, broken into the place in which the property was deposited, stolen the packages and other property, and escaped in the gig of the vessel to a port of that coast ; that one of the pack ages was the property of Mr. Swanzy, an African mer chant, who immediately went in pursuit and captured the thieves amongst many of the natives, who had taken possession of the gold dust. Mr. Swanzy was fortunate enough to recover the whole of the gold dust, with the exception of about five ounces. The whole of the particulars are contained in the fol lowing statement : Captain George Vickerman, master of the brig Le muel, of Bristol, anchored in the roads of Elmira on the 27th of July, 1848, and caused notice to be given to several of the merchants of the Gold Coast, Western Africa, that he intended sailing for England on the Bth of August, and that all gold freight should be delivered to him on or before that day, and he received from seve ral parties eight boxes and packages, stated by them to contain gold dust; one of which was from Mr. Andrew Swanzy, a merchant residing at Annamaboc, to be con veyed as freight to England. That parcel contained 150 ounces, and was directed to Messrs. Foster and Smith, London. As he received them, he placed them in the corner of his bedroom at Elmira, to which he was then confined by illness, but he did not leave the room while any part of the property was there. On the 9th he delivered eight of the packages to his second mate, Thomas Price, to take on board and deposit in the state room. Next day ho delivered four other packages to Price, to deposit in the same place, being too ill to go himself, and he received the key of the room; on the 11th he received from Price the following letter : " Sir—l am sorry to inform you of what occurred this morning. The mate, Watts, and old Lewis, went away this morning at about half past three o'clock taking with them all the gold, two chronometers, cabin dial, firearms, cutlasses, &c. They went in one of their own watches, when the mate came to me to wish me good bye. I then roused all hands, but they had all things ready in the boat. They went to sea, and I have had the ensign hoisted —union down all the morning. I could not let you know before. They have broken all the lockers. I hope you will be able to come on board. "I remain, your obedient servant, " T PRIE. Witness then appli e d t o th e G overnor of. Elmi C ra " for officers of police to accompany him on board the ship, where they found the panel of the starboard state ,room burst in, both larboard lockers broken open, and that all the boxes of gold dust, the value of which was about 7,000/, the whole weight being 1,760 ounces, were miss ing. He also missed, from the same locker, a small box which had contained two watches, and his two chro nometers from the library, and other articles, amongst which were four cutlasses. Price, the second mate, gave him a portion of the box which had contained the watches. The three prisoners who had been on board till he left the ship were all absent, but without his per mission ; neither had they any authority to go to a place called Cormantine, nor had he told any one of them that anything had been forgotten there, nor had they authority to take from the ship any portion of the gold dust, or the other articles to which he had referred. He also missed the boat, called the captain's gig, from the vessel. They had no permission to take that boat. In three days after the robbery he went to Cape Coast Castle, near Elmira, and found the three prisoners in custody there, and ho also saw there his two chrono meters and other property of his own, and the gold dust in bulk, which was not the state in which he had re ceived it. The gig had been brought up to Cape Coast from Annamaboc. When the prisoners were examined at Cape Coagt Castle, he heard Powell say before the tnagistra.tes that he was so drunk he did cot know what chho:nhhseaacidduttelanokneeeen, o a tfh n ie d llng h eo e slsd h , e d a u r s d t. the others say th a t t h ey were drunk.

Captain Catchpole, master of the brig Tweed, of London, said —On the 11th of August my brig was lying off the Gold Coast. The Lemuel was lying at Elmira, and I was 24 or 25 miles off. At about eleven o'clock the watch gave me information, and I went upon deck and found Powell and Watts on board my vessel. chiefe, and matethe ly i ng aek a e lo d ng th si e d from where I was lying.

He did not appear otherwise than sober, but I did not exactly like his man ner; it was not as if ho was in liquor. They stopped till about six in the morning. I observed a bag of some thing in the boat, which I took for clothing and provi sions. Having observed when they left the ship that they pulled in shore, and as they got in they edged away to go in a (Efferent direction from Cormantine, my suspicions were excited, and I lowered one of my beats to pursue them, but upon second thoughts I went to Mr. Swanzy, and told him what I suspected, and steps were taken to follow the prisoners, and I saw them in custody of Mr. Swanzy about the middle of the same day. Mr. Andrew Swanzy said, I am a merchant residing at the Annamaboc Fort on the Gold Coast, Africa. On the 12th of August I received a communication from Captain Catchpole, and in consequence I ordered my canoe to be manned, and went with him on board the Tweed, and sent a man to the mast-head to look out for the gig of the Lemuel, but it could not be seen. I then iftsibpTnnanorhitiduadosen:nladiongelleyliitrghtot fe th e is w L as em in ue th l e w g a ig s . pursued in the direction Captain Catchpole informed me they had taken, keeping a distance from the shore, so as to see on shore and out to sea, and about half-past 11 I got sight of a boat with the aid of my telescope, close to the surf, as near as she could be with safety; and I im mediately had my boat pulled to her, and found it was the gig of the Lemuel, and that Powell and Lewis were in the gig lying on their oars. When I got within about 40 yards of the boat, they pulled in shore towards the beach, and I did so also, and landed about 40 yards from the gig, which was then lying close to the water's edge. Powell and Lewis were standing close by, and immediately afterwards Watts appeared with a great number of the natives. Some of the natives had possession of a large clothes-bag, and one had two boxes containing chronometers in his hand, and two or three of the others had cutlasses in their possession, which they gave up directly upon being ordered by me to do so. I said to the prisoners, " You are my prisoners;" and one of them—l can't say which —said the bag contained valuable property, and Watts said that the mate's jacket had fallen into the hands of the natives, and that there was a small quantity of gold dust in it. I afterwards got the jacket, but not the gold dust. I tied up the bag and gave it into the charge of my canoe men. I also found a small trunk containing fishhooks, &c. I took the prisoners and property on board the canoe to the Fort of Annamaboc, and next day I took them to Cape Coast Castle, where they were examined before a magistrate. I found amongst the other property three packages of gold dust of 50 ounces each, which I had s en t t o the Lemuel, and which I had valued at about 590/. They had my seal upon them, and had not been broken. I produced also at Cape Coast Castle the various articles I had found; and Mr. Vicker man, in my presence, and in the presence of the pri soners, identified them as belonging to him. The three packages were in a box when I sent them, directed to "Foster and Smith, 5, New City-chambers, Bishopsgate street, London," and marked with my initials, " A. 5.," on the lid of the box. The box was not found, and packages had been taken entire from the box. I fas tened these packages in a tin box on the 12th of August, and on the following day I delivered them to the judi cial assessor (Mr. Fitzpatrick) at Cape Coast Castle. Mr. Hayward , said the last evidence concluded his case, and called upon the Lord Mayor to commit the prisoners for trial. The LORD MAYOR then asked the prisoners whether they wished to say anything relating to the serious charge brought against them? Powell —No. Watts—No, sir; I can't recollect what I did on board the brig. Lewis—My statement is brought from Cape Coast, and I suppose that will be used against me; and that's the truth, aad nothing but the truth, if I was to be hung for it. The LORD MAYOR—It is my duty to commit you al for trial. Lewis—l have been many years in the world, and this is the first crime I ever committed; and it was all from grog. The prisoners were then committed for trial. WORSHIP-ST.REET. Owen Moran, Wm. Jones, John Br ee d es, an d Joseph Barnes, were charged with a criminal assault and rob bery upon a poor widow named Anne Coxfield, living in Quaker-street, Spitalfields. The particulars of the ease appeared in our paper of Tuesday week, and Sergeant Kelly now reported to the magistrate that the injured woman was unable to attend, having been confined to her bed since the last-exanaina tion from the effects of the brutal treatment to which she had been subjected, and had been attacked with a succession of fainting fits of such a debilitating charac ter, that some doubts were entertained of her recovery, and that she would not, under any circumstances, be able to appear at the court in support of the prosecution for a considerable time. A neighbour of the prosecutrix, who acts as nurse to her, corroborated this statement, and added, that upon attempting to raise her this morning, about an hour b:- fore, she fainted immediately. Mr. 'alarm., who bad at the first examination pre sented the prosecutrix with 10s. fro t h th e poor-box, di rected the officer to attentively watch the case, and take care that the poor woman was provided with proper medical attendance, and every necessary that her anfur tenet° condition required, and ordered the prisoners to be again remanded for a week. monstrated with on the subject, and in order to keen hi m the (loot: was kept locked. Abeul, two o'clock that day complainant went into the bakehouse where the prisoner was engaged, and the mo ment he entered the place the latter seized a long and sharp knife, and advancing with it towards his em ployer swore he would " du" for him. The complainant retreated some steps on seeing the weapon, and was followed by his assailant, who made two or three at tempts to strike him with it, when the former, fearing that the prisoner would murder him, made a sudden rush, in order to snatch the knife from his grasp. He succeeded in laying hold of the blade of the knife, and a struggle took place, during which he made the most vigorous efforts to disarm his antagonist, who, however, still re tained possession of the handle of the knife, the blade remaining in that of the complainant, whose wife hastened to his assistance, but she, in her attempt to take the weapon, was cut in the hand. Finding that the prisoner continued to strive hard to get the knife into his own hands the complainant's wife hastened to obtain assistance, and a policeman at length being informed of the circurostanca entered the bakehouse, and succeeded in getting possession of the knife, which was produced in court, and was a very formidable weapon, used for the purpose of cutting dough in the bakehouse. The complainant added, that the struggle between him and the prisoner lasted nearly three. quarters of an hour, and that to save his own life he held the blade of the knife, which inflicted the wound between his forefinger and thumb, and, as a medical certificate described, was of a dangerous ❑ature, and within almost a hair's breadth of dividing the artery. A policeman said, that when he entered the bake house he found the parties struggling with one another, each having hold of the knife, which he (the policeman) took possession of, and the complainant then described to him what had previously occurred, and he therefore arrested the prisoner. The prisoner, in defence, said that his employer flew into a great passion with him while he was scraping the dough off his trowsers with the knife, and tried to get possession of it, and that in the struggle he had his hand cut. Lie (the prisoner), however, denied having used threats against his life, and now regretted what had taken place on the occasion. Mr. COTTINGHAM, in order to hear evidence of 1 the prisoner's former character, remanded him until Tuesday. --- THE SMITHFIELD CLUE CATTLE SHO W. Yesterday this great exhibition was opened to the public, and if numbers are to be held as an indication of the popularity of the cattle show, it has become more popular on the present occasion than at any previous anniversary. A meeting of the Committee of the Smithfield Cattle Club was held at twelve o'clock in the Club-room at the Bazaar, for the purpose of drawing up the annual report of the club, his Grace the Duke of Richmond, the Pre sident, in the chair. Amongst the other noblemen and gentlemen who visited the Bazaar during the day were observed the Duke of Rutland, the Duke of Leeds, the Earl of Leicester, the Earl of Yarborough, the Earl of Chichester, Lord Southampton, the Earl of Aylesford, Earl Radnor, Earl Spencer, Major-Gen era l W emyss, S i r Francis Lawl e y, the Hon Dudley Pelham, Sir Thomas Lennard, Mr. Pusey, M.P., Colonel Sibthorp, M.P., Colonel Challoner, &c. During the afternoon the Duke of Richmond, accom panied by several of the above-named, visited the painting by Mr. Ward, the Royal Academician, of the Alderney bull, cow, and calf, at which they expressed the highest gratification. The sales of the cattle and other stock were, for the first day of the show, more numerous than ever previ ously known, and with regard to some of the principal prizes, a great deal of competition took place. The fols lowing are amongst the principal purchases effected:— In class 1, No. 14, his _Royal Highness Prince Albert's 4 years and 6 months old Hereford ox, which obtai ne d the first prize o f 301., an d s il ver medal to breeder, was purchased by Mr. Thomas Pawsey of Bath, for, it is stated, 60 guineas. In class 2, No. 30, Mr. W; Trin der's 3 years and 10 months old Hereford steer, which obtained the first prize of 301., and silver medal to breeder, sold to Messr. Etches, Ashbourn, Derbyshire, for 45 guineas.

No. 206, Prince Albert's 40 weeks and 3 days old Bedford and Yorkshire pig, highly commended, sold to the same person. The usual interest was manifested in the department of the exhibition appropriated to the show of agricul tural implements, and the entire arrangements reflect the highest credit on Mr. Gibbs, the secretary of the Smithfield Club, and on Mr. Bulnois, the itoprietor, and Mr. Collins, the manager of the Bazaar, under whose joint superintendence the whole has been effected. A strong body of the D division of police, under the superintendent, Mr. Hughes, wore on duty at various points, and, notwithstanding the crowded state of the bu ere ildins ec g, t urehd, e greatest ord er an d comfort to the public ss It is ccamputed that from 10,000 to 15,000 persons passed through the show during the day. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. BASINGSTOKE, DEC. 6. Wheat The trade to day was rather brisker for fine samples of dry wheats (old and new), yet not sufficiently so to warrant us quoting it higher in price. For damp and inferior less money by is per qr would have been taken. Finest old wheat went at 14/ 10s to 15/ per load; moderate, 11/ to 13/ ditto; inferior, 8/ to 91 ditto; flour, 44s per sack; bread, 13d the gallon loaf. Barley: fine Chevalier made 34s per qr; moderate ditto, 30s to 32s ditto; grinding, 27s to 28s ditto. Malt offered at from 7s 9d to 8s 6d per bushel. - Oats: heavy and sweet Polands sold slowly at 23s per qr; good feed black oats at 20s ditto; com mon ditto, 17s to 18s ditto.

NE WCASTLE•UPON-TTNE, DECEMBER 2.—The weather this week has been very variable, but upon the whole favourable for outdoor work, with which our far mers are busily engaged. A good deal of land has been sown with wheat within the last 14 days, but some has been put into the ground where the soil was scarcely sufficiently dry, so that fine weather is much to be de sired, in order that the plant may not suffer injury. The trade during the present week has been of an inanimate character, and although lower rates would have been generally complied with, it has failed to bring forward buyers, the only sale of consequence being a cargo of 1,300 quarters of Griefswalde wheat in bond, weighing 63 lb per bushel, at 46s per quarter. At our market this morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the country, and although the arrivals coastwise are by no means upon a liberal scale, the deficiency has been fully compensated by the receipts from abroad, which continue considerable. Our millers having acted very much upon the reserve, sales could only be promoted by submitting to a reduction of 2a per quarter when our farmers' sup ply was cleared off, a similar decline having, at the same tine, to be made on coasting and foreign samples. For the best descriptions of south-country red 52s was taken, general runs being saleable at 50s and fair quality of Wisbeach white 569, all weighing 63 lb per bushel. For flour we experienced a slow sale, at a decline of 2s per sack; the millers also having reduced their price 3s to meet the rates current for Norfolk qualities. Re un altered. Mahing barley mu s t b e aga i n written is per quarter cheaper; and only the choicest descriptions met attention, other sorts being without inquiry. Malt 2s lower, and in moderate request.

OFFICIAL PURCHASES OF SPIRITS.--A request having been made by a party at one of the outports, the purchaser of some spirits, which had been sold by the eastern authorities at the place on the part of the Crown, to be allowed to remove the spirits from London for the purpose of being placed in the bonded warehouse here, under the warehousing regulations, until it should be convenient to him to clear the same for exportation, he has received intimation that as the spirits were sold by the Crown and purchased by him on the condition that they should be cleared within a given time from the bonding premises, the request to be allowed to re-ware house in the port of London could not be complied with, but that the spirits might be removed here for the pur pose of exportation, and deposited in her Majesty's ware house at his expense until such disposal of the goods should be effected. NARROW ESCAPE.—We scarcely recollect a better instance of presence of mind, when that quality is de cidedly required, than the following:—On Monday week, Mr. Beedard, a. person residing at Brimfield, near Lud low, and doing a considerable business as a higgler, was returning home in his cart from Kidderminster. On the road, between Bewdley and Newnham-bridge, he met a woman carrying a basket, who asked him for a ride. He consented, and on the woman's getting into the cart he came in contact with her hand, which immediately struck him as being too large and hard for a woman's. His suspicions being thus aroused, and recollecting the oc currence of a robbery under similar circumstances else where, he hit upon the following ingenious mode of getting quit of his companion. Pushing off his hat, as if by accident, into the :road, he asked the supposed woman to get down and pick it up, as his mare was rather skittish, and he was afraid to quit the reins. The seem ing woman complied, but as soon as she was out of the and ingenuity. e g ae a t Mr. Beddard flogged his horse into a gallop, and ve ber or him the go-by. About . hal f . a mile onwards he had again occasion to exercise all his self-possession * e zn i:x.i.v _ orea T n w ea o rr m y e i n ng ca a m b e as u k p e , t passed she wa's the fellows set A getting Eteliti.ertey of a mile from this; and as I andon demanded the ro ad ? if H h e e into a gentleman's gig."
