Abbas Pacha had received some days before a notifi cation from Constantinople that his demand to be allowed to continue to exercise the power of capital punishment was definitively rejected, and that mea sures had been taken for carrying the tanzimat into effect in Egypt, with a few insignificant modifications. Although this had been expected, it caused great irritation to the Pacha. He immediately convoked the consular body, and communicated to them the news he had received. After expressing his astonish ment, he dwelt at some length on his reasons for demanding the maintenance of the power of life and death : it was, be said, not only essential for the due carrying on of the Government, but for the safety of travellers and Europeans. He concluded by declaring that the pretensions of the Porte were incompatible with the government of Egypt secured to him by treaties, and that be was resolved to resist them by all means in his power. Abbas Pacha evidently expected that this declaration would cause great effect on the consuls-general ; but they received it with calm. The Pacha then asked their advice, and they I , nanimously expressed their opinion that before all ne should obey the Sultan, his sove reign, but that they would refer the matter to their respective Governments. It is said that, dissatisfied with this, Abbas Pacha declared that he could no longer answer for the safety of Europeans in Egypt. On this, some of the consuls addressed him in rather severe terms, and he gave explanations which satis fied them. The Pacha, according to his custom in all cases of difficulty, subsequently left Cairo. He proceeded to Upper Egypt, and was accompanied by Mr. Murray, the English Consul-General. At the date of the last news he had arrived at Beni-Souef, where he had been obliged to stop for a few days, in consequence of some accident to his steamer. It was there that the news of the fall of Reschid Pacha would reach him ; it arrived at Alexandria on the Ist ult., but did not produce the se nsation which might have been expected. It was thought, indeed, that it would not materially change the position of things. As to the question of the railway, it re mained in the same state ; the English engineers terminated their plans for more than a month, but neither materials nor workmen were supplied them. The numerous Turks of the Administration threw continual obstacles in the way of the delivery of wood and stone, and the woudirs (chiefs of provinces) said that the fallahe, taking advantage of the tanzimat; refused to work without being paid. It was evident that all this was only done to compel England to relieve the Pacha of te , 2 demands of the Porte. The English residents anti .Ir. Murray complained that Sir Stratford Canning did not sufficiently second them at Constantinople. A petition, to he signed by all English travellers to Lido), praying the British Go- veroment to support 01.4 Viceroy, was being got up ; it represented that lf he were (1 , -pzi:ed of :he power of life and death, the .Bedouins could not he kept in order. The Duke Charles Bernard of Same-Weimar hid arrived at Cairo from Batavia. He had be en obliged to leave Batavia, where he held the post of commander-in-chief of the Duch forces, on account of the pernicious effect of the climate on his health. When he left he was dangerously ill, but the journey had done him great good. THE CR STAL PALACE. This building, the fate of which has been the sub ject of so much speculation, has, after a long inter regnum, been partially made accessible to the public in rather a singular way. It will be remembered that a large portion of the interior fittings was sup plied by Messrs. Fox and Henderson, the contrac tors. These fittings are now on sale by public auc tion, and, as it is necessary to admit purchasers, the price of a catalogue, eihich is fid., secures the entrée. Where curiosity is excited people are not slow to avail themselves of an opportunity, and the sale of catalogues, which on the first day amounted to 200, now, after the interval 'of a week, reaches 1,500. Business men attend in sufficient numbers, and the details of the auction-mart are animated to a degree ; so much so, indeed, that the first lot brought a price about twice its original value, and throughout the purchases effected have been more or less affected by the associations of the spot. But it is almost unne cessary to say that a very small proportion of the cata logues are disposed of to persons anxious to avail themselves of them, and that the majority buy as a pretext to see the interior of the building. Nursery maids with their infant charges are, as soon as they approach the south entrance of the transept, seized with an irresistible impulse to participate in the transactions in lumber going on within, and even ladies' boarding-schools own the same influences. Not less than 3,000 to 4,000 people were there yes terday, and wandered over the spacious interior with feelinge of gratification and delight not difficult to de cipher in their faces. It is the commencement of a new era in the history of this wonderful building, which in itself contains features calculated to make it permanently attractive, and, if the contractors only play their cards well, they may render it so desirable and popular a place of resort that its removal will become an impossibility. At the same time it must be remembered that in strict terms this wonderful structure lies under sentence of death. Parliament has suspended the execution of the extreme sentence of the law Until its pleasure be taken on the subject, and possibly it may preserve, or dismember, or des troy. It may see fit to vote the amount requisite to render the Crystal Palace per manent, or it may sanction its distribution, giving a limb to Battersea, another to Kew, and_ another to Victoria-park, in the approved style of dialing with the carcases of traitors. It may also thjeeesthelasl th e Royal Commission has already done, that bodyw within which the honours and triumphs of what accumulated. No one can confidently predict the the result will he, but in the meantime, and while and white mthaeak, wisdom of Parliament is still in reserve, public ln have not yet had an opportunity of finally perso g na u l p . their minds upon the subject by the aid of a was t inspection, it may be worth while to state what substance of a report made to the late Governmen u t h r b e i t a committee appointed by the Lords of the Treasury to the question of the building.

As far as the Royal Commission are concerned, they have aban doned all idea of holding ou; a hand to help the in• habitants of the metropolis who are interested in this matter. Not only is the building absolutely in the hands of the contractors, but the Commissioners have issued orders to withdraw everything belonging to them. Their collection, which is to form the ground work of a trades' museum, is, in compliance with a de cision come to on Monday, to be transferred to Ken sington Palace, and in a few days every vestige of their connexion with the Crystal Palace will have terminated ; the building will then have to rely for its preservation entirely on public feeling, and it remains to he seen whether the Power which created it and gave it a world-wide celebrit y h as a l so t h e w ill t o render it permanent, f or the en.leyment. and advantage of the metropolis a n d the country at prate,—'Tines. ------=--- „ , Fit "" RD BREAKWATER ON THE hIEItBEY.—A report just Sub mitted m erce by Mr. vi Tnil.ted to the Liverpool Chamber o f Com - Roes contains a project, devised by Alr.

(From the Chronicle.) An event which has lone been anticipated has just occurred. On Thursday last the poet Moore died at his residence of Sloperton Cottage, near Devizes. For se veral years back the illustrious deceased had een alive only in the body. Like Sir Walter Scott and Southey, the tenacity of physical existence had, in him, outlived the term of the mind. A year ago the poet was brought to Bath without any consciousness of where he was, or who were around him, and he passed peacefully away in the same condition of semi-slumbering unconsciousness. With Moore there is snapped the last tie, save perhaps one, represented by the veteran Rogers, which connects the present generation with the outburst of " all the talents" which signalised the opening of the cen tury. That great kindling of genius —embracing al most all aides of imaginative literature, of criticism and philosophy—is fast becoming more a thing of his tory than a thing of fact. Day by day, and year by year, the lights are going out. Wordsworth was the last extinguished before the present event; and now, to all intents and purposes, the great mental galaxy which poured out such a flood of blazing, vivifying light upon the literature of fifty years ago— which extinguished the school of Rosa Matilda fiction and Della Crusoan poetry—which substituted true criti cism for technical carping upon philological points, and established new styles in every branch of the belles lettres—this great intellectual constellation may now be said to have disappeared. One of the brightest, if not of the largest stars, has long been obscured. It is now extinguished. What amount and what duration of fame Moore will leave behind him is fairly a matter of discussion. It cannot, we believe, be denied that much of his serious and more ambitious verse, founded upon the promptings of a more luscious and florid fancy than the present taste inclines to admit—and no inconsiderable portion even of his sweet lyric snatches, as being too wire-drawn, and refined to attenuation—are by no means so much read or admired as they were a score or thirty years ago. A severer and a sterner school of poetry has suc ceeded to it—one of deeper feeling and more sober thought; and the representatives of those who revelled in " Lalla Rookh," and delighted in the strains of Mr. Little, now generally address themselves to more staid and philosophic poetic musings. The " Irish Melodies," too—exquisite as is their word-music—fanciful as is their conception—delightful as is their playfulness — and profoundly touching as is their pathos—even the " Irish Melodies" we believe to be declining in popular estimation. The reasons are not far to seek. In the first place, the "Irish Melodies" are not particularly Irish; they have perfect grace, high and sparkling fancy, deli cious feeling—but they are too fine-spun to do the work a-day duty of popular songs. As literary performances, nine-tenths of Burns's songs are inferior to Moore's; and all Dibdin's ditties are immeasurably and incal culably beneath them. Yet the strong probability is that " When Willie brewed," and "Poor Tom Bowling," will be in the fall tide of their popularity and everyday use, where " Rich and rare," and " Oh, breathe not his name," will be unsung and forgotten. In a certain circle, and amongst people of a certain reading and appreciation, Moore will live as long as the lan guage; but his genius was delicate and acute rather than catholic and vast. He had a rich and vivid play of fancy, but none of the soaring imagination of a Shelley or a Byron. His mind, in fact, was a first-class second rate. It had no pretensions to stand in the foremost line of the giants of our day. Brightly fanciful, rather than continuously imaginative—teeming with poetic imagery—loving to sparkle along the floweriest paths, and beneath the balmiest skies—revelling always in fays and flowers—in love and mingled intellectual and sensual pleasures—playful in the extreme, and always ready to stop to make mirth as joyous and as delightful as the passion—Moore's muse, in his great romantic poems, is the incarnation of a charming Epicureanism. And the mirth and playful jollity could go a long step further. Moore had wit, which sparkled as brightly as it could cut deeply; and the humour, and sense of the ludic rens, which could be as well if not more effec- , ua lly a pplied tf, living persona and actual things than to the creations of his own fancy; and, accord ingly, we find him loving to turn from the ettacratlizad voluptuousness of the " Loves of the An g,ls," or the mystic imaginings of the " Epicurean," to the sharp and brilliant hitting of political and social squibs—to the restless and biting satire with which, in the " Fudge Family" and hundreds of ephemeral but not the less clever lays, he quizzed his political and literary opponents, abolished the Earl of Mountcasbell, or shot stinging shafts of fun through the very hearts of the Benthamites. It is, indeed, far from probable that Moore's political and satiric poetry, little, perhaps, as he thought of it at the time, will live after his more ambitious works have been—not forgotten— bat sunk into that chronic state of classicism, in which books are labelled with an excellent character—and shelved—turned, in fact, into the category of works without which no gentleman's library is complete, and accordingly doomed, not to actual obscurity, but to an honourable retirement. The very last of the political squibs and short poems published by Mr. Moore were given to the world in the columns of the Morning Chronicle, and referred princi pally to the earlier struggles of the Anti-Corn-law League, the verses having in most cases been evidently suggested by the passing political events of the day. Thomas Moore died at the ripe old age of 72. He was born on the 28th of May, 1780, in Angier-street Dublin, where his father, a strict Roman Catholic, car ried on a grocery and spirit business. As a child, young Moore is said to have been remarkable for personal beauty, but his appearance in after life hardly carried out the promise of infancy. He was short, with a heavy, expressive, but not handsome face, which, how ever, lightened up wonderfully when engaged in animated coaversation or singing his own ballad poetry. Young Moore was educated at Dublin, and ono of his first noted peculiarities was a fondness and a talent for pri vate theatricals. Taking advantage of the boon, as it was then considered, the young Roman Catholic was en tered at Trinity College. He could not, of course, ob tain a degree, but some English Verses tendered at an examination, in lien of the usual Latin composition, pro cured a copy of the " Travels of Anacharsis" as a re ward. The wild times of the Irish rebellion were now approaching, and the future poet was naturally to be found in the ranks led by the Emmetta and Arthur O'Connor; but his treasonable lucubrations in prose and verse, though, as his own sister remarked, " rather strong," were passed over w i t h out any measures being taken against the enthusiastic young champion of Irish liberty. Politics, ho wever, were by no means the only subject of his muse. At the age of 14 he published poetry in a Dublin magazine, and afterwards composed many semi-poetic semi-burlesque pieces for private re presentation. In his twentieth year, giving up Republicanism once and for ever, Moore came to London to study at the Middle Temple. and to publish his transla tions, or rather paraphrases, of Anacreon. As may be imagined, he attended much more strenuously to the Greek than to " Coke upon Lyttleton," and a permis sion, obtained through the friendship of Lord Moria, to dedicate the work to the Prince Regent, was the means of Moore's introduction to those elevated circles of so ciety in which he was ever afterwards to move and shine. The Anacreontic paraphrases, brilliantly and w armly expressed, were highly successful. They were speedily succeeded, iu 1801, by •' Poems and Songs, by Thomas Little." Whatever objections may be raised by the present generation to either of these works, there can be no doubt of their vivid play of fancy, their great grace of idea, even when that idea was not strictly p ro per, and their exquisite melody of versification. Moore's translations of the " Old Greek Lover," of Women and Wine," are probably the finest and richest versions of these often translated songs ira the English language—always excepting the rough but thoroughly racy version of the last of the lyrics in ques tion by quaint old Dr. Donne. In the days of the Regency, ports came in for patron age, rind Mr. Moore, made registrar to the Co ur t o f Admiralty at Bermu da — a; sincularly appropriate an appointment as some we have seen in our own day— went out to the islands, appointed a deputy, took a glance at the States, and came home again. He then published " Sketches of Travel and Society beyond the At!aotic"—a satiric work in heroic verse, vigorously written, but, polieically, miserably short-sighted. Soon afterwards, a savage review in the Edinburgh, of a re publication of " Juvenile Songs," Sac., led to the cele brated rencontre between Moore and Jeffrey, at Hamp stead, when the great critic', as Byron asserted, stood valiantly up:--- " When Little's leadless pistol met his eye, And Bow -street myrmidons stood laughing by." The affair was ultimately made up, mainly through Byron the interv en ti on !Lacy between the tubj shortl yafterward s of Mr. Rogers, and at his house Moore made his first acquaintance with of " Child e and Campbell e T ct h c e ,f i l u on i f sk a o li t d oh a au ffe d ct t io h n e at a e u ix o i ; Harold,"he which resulted from the meeting, wo need n ot to do more than allude to.

The bright fancy and immense comm an d of 1 71 1 r "I! LONDON, imagery of the poet were now at their climax. The tales were the triumph of poetic lusciousness, but not a few old judges stigmatised their taste by preferring Fadladeen and his criticisms even to the Fire worshippers or the tribulations of the Peri. We need hardly say that the judgment of thc4o tough old critics has now a far greater number of adherents than it once commanded. After a continental tour, Moore mote the clever and popular " Fudge Family." In the following year he met Byron in Italy, when the latter entrusted to him his me moirs for publication. These memoirs Moore sold to Murray for two thousand guineas, but, as is well known and a good deal regretted, the purchase-money was re funded, the papers re-obtained, and destroyed. Pecuniary difficulties connected with the misconduct of his Ber muda deputy about this time compelled Moore to seek a temporary refuge in Paris, and there the poet led a pleasant social life, such as he loved, and composed the "Loves of the Angels," which is not much more than an elaborate and carefully wrought out repetition of all Mr. Moore's previous love and flowery poetry. The whole thing is dreamy, lulling, beautiful, but vague and misty. The words tinkle like falling foun tains, and the essence of the closing poetry floats about one like perfume; but this enervating species of com position is far from being high or true poetry, and ac cordingly the poem is now far oftener alluded to than it is read. In 1825 Moore paid a visit to Scott, at Abbotsford. The author of " Waverley" pronounced the Irish melodist to be the " prettiest warbler" he had ever heard. One evening Scott and his guest visited the theatre at Edinburgh. Soon after their at first un marked entrance, the attention of the audience, which had till then been engrossed by the Duchess of St. Albans, who was present, was directed towards the new corners; and according to a newspaper report, copied and published by Mr. Moore in one of his last prefaces, considerable excitement immediately prevailed. " Eh!" exclaimed a man in the pit, " eh, yon's Sir Walter wi' Lockhart and his wife; and wha's the wee body wi' the pawkie ee? Wow, but it's Tam Moore just." " Scott, Scottl—Moore, Moore!" immediately resounded through the house. Scott would not rise; Moore did, and bowed several times with his hand on his heart. Scott after wards acknowledged the plaudits of his countrymen, and the orchestra during the rest of the evening played alter nately Scotch and Irish airs. Soon after this period Moore was established, by the kind offices of his old and staunch friend the Marquis of Lansdowne, in Sloperton Cottage, where he passed the remainder of his days, and where he ended them. It was here that the poet commenced his career as a bio grapher, and produced successfully the memors of Lord Edward Eitzgerald, of Lord Byron, and of Sheridan. The two latter are too well known and too highly ap preciated to demand more than to be alluded to here. It was in the previous year that the poet had first come out as a prose writer in the " Memoirs of Captain Rock," a bitter and unfair account of—or rather commentary on—English misgovernment of Ireland, and a curious instance of how warped and twisted become the views of even a man of the world like Moore, if he be an Irishman, in writing on an Irish subject. The next serious work of the poet— he continued his squibs and light sparkles of occasional verse, as before—was " The Travels of an Irish Gentle man in search of a Religion"—in which he sought to show that the doctrines and practices of the Roman Ca tholic Church date from the apostolic period. The last of Moore's prose works, and That which has attained a greater sale, we believe, than any of them was the ro mance of "The Epicurean." Here Moore's style, al ways too rich, effloresced into eolith of tawdry rhetoric, which are only here and there redeemed by passages of great eloquence and natural feeling. There was mush out-of-the-way learning in the book, but the pompous march of cumbrous ornamentation overlaid everything. The book had a great success, but one not likely to be lasting. It partook of what Mr. Carlyle calls the " wind-bag " nature. The wind inside was very highly perfumed, and sighed with very p:;:asing murmurs, but, after all, it was only wind, and, as such, will ocza out and away, to the collapsing of the bag and the disappearance of the t` Epicurean." Of late years the political and social squibs to which we hare alluded were the only literary occupations to which Mr. Moore devoted himself, until, gradually and fitfully, mental darkness came down upoa him, and the quick and fanciful brain throbbed with thick-coming tancies no more. _ _ _ : - Peace be with the poet! He led a long, a pleasant, and a prosperous lite. His poetic genius was not of the deep, enthusiastic cast. He could write wailing stanzas over the fate of Curran's daughter on Treasury paper, and became sentimental over the wrongs of Ireland while an English plaoeman. Universally courted and flattered in society, Moore fluttered from one b r illi ant coterie to the other, and was always in his most perfect element at the two great Whig resorts—in Berkeley square and Kensington-park. In every one of his cha racteristics the poet, was formed for society. A lover of pleasure, with a . lceen appreciation of its every refine ment, intellectnai, social, and sensuous, Moore must have enjoyed to the very top of his bent every gra tification which the greatest popularity in the most brilliant circles could heap on him. His nature was to enjoy, to amuse, to excite, and to be amused and to be excited. Successful in almost every literary effort, accounted as brilliant a conversationalist as he was a port, as charming a singer as he was a song writer—a privileged person in a sphere to which his mind, by its very nature, looked up with longing for notice and for praise—few men have had a career so correspond ing with their wishes and their ambition as Thomas Moore. The death of the poet coming so shortly after the setting of the public life of his good and constant friend the Marquis of Lansdowne, is a curious and touch ing coincidence. The ex-Minister will lament the de parture of him who was so long the lyrist and the minstrel of his party; but to Moore the world was for years uncared for and unknown, and it is better that the spirit is released than that it should linger on in the midst of melancholy and hopeless darkness.

At the conclusion of the arguments in this case, The LORD CHANCELLOR, after hearing Mr. Bathell for some time in reply, said that without at present giving any opinion as to the effect or duration of the agreement for the composition, he wished to know whe ther the parties would consent to have a reference to the Master somewhat in this form. The right to some tithe being, it was presumed, not deniable, that there should be a reference to inquire what was at present the yearly value of the premises known as the Corn Exchange, re gard being had to the yearly value of such portions of the building as do not appear to be liable to pay tithes; that was, in other words, to inq u i re i nto the yearly rents of the hole building, minus those portions of the fit tings-up which are not liable to tithes. His Lordship in making this suggestion was not giving judgment. He only threw it out for the consideration of counsel before be made a decree, and he was disposed to give time un til Saturday next for that purpose. The matter stands over accordingly. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT, Chelmsford, March 2. The commission for the county of Essex was opened on Monday at this place. There are 11 causes on the civil side, three of which are special Jury cases. On the Crown side 44 prisoners stand fur trial, and the great in,,j,,rity of the cases aro of a very serious character, in cluding a charge of murder, which creates a good deal of interest in the county. _ (Before Dar. Baron PARICE.) William Green, 43 postman, pleaded guilty to two indictments, charging him with stealing post letters, containing money, the property of the Postmaster- General. It appoared that the prisoner was intrusted to deliver letters in one of the country districts in the neighbour hood of Ovington, and that he took advantage of the opportunity thus afforded him to purloin two of the let ters that were intrusted to his care. In one instance it appeared that a poor servant-girl had saved up 21. for the purpose of sending to her mother, to enable her to pay her rent, and she enclosed four half-sovereigns in a card, which she enclosed in a letter, and this letter and its contents were stolen by the prisoner. Mr. Baron PARKE, in passing sentence, remarked upon the mischief and inconvenience that was occasioned by acts of plunder of this description; and at the same time observed that the poorer classes were generally the sufferers. It was therefore absolutely necessary that an example should be made in every case, and he therefore felt it his duty to order the prisoner to be transported for 14 years. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Lincoln, March 2. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAULE.) Eliza Spajjord, Mary Greenwood, and Eliza Lyon were placed at the bar this morning to receive sentence for the offence of endeavouring to conceal the births of their bastard children, to which they had severally pleaded guilty yesterday.

He, however, admitted that the umbilical cord might have got round the neck of the child, and that the wound mteht have I been inflicted in the attempt to sever the cord. The I prisoner had from the first stated that the child was 1 born dead. The Learned COUNSEL addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, admitting that she Was guilty of the offence of concealment, but contending that th,:re was no evi dence that the child was ever completely born alive- The jury ultimately convicted the prisoner of con cealment, and she was sentenced to four months' im prisonment. _ WESTERN CIRCUIT Winchester, March 2. CROWN COURT.—(Before' Mr. Justice TALFouun.) Edwin James Harris was indicted for maliciously T Y X -r - r MARCH. 3, 1852. stabbing his wife, Mary Harris, with intent to murder her, at Southampton, on the 27th of December. Mr. Sewell was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. C. Saunders for the prisoner. It appeared that these parties, who seemed to be de cent kind of people, had been married 20 years. Dif ferences at last arose between them, which ended in a separation; but they had so far become reconciled as to meet and walk together, and shortly before Christmas • day they arranged to dine together on that day, and he gave her 7s. 61. to purchase the dinner, They met again the next day, and h e t h en wante d some of t h e money back again, and she returned him some part of it, lele was in liquor, and she went to his lodging with him to take care of him. He kissed her many times and cried very much. She begged him not to cry, and said she would come and see him in the morning, when he would be better. She left him and went home. They met again on the 27th of December. She went to his lodg ing and made his tea. He cried and kissed her. They saw his landlord, who said he wondered he would be seen with his wife after what he had called her. His countenance instantly changed. She said he dared not repeat the word in her presence, and she became angry, and said if ho repeated it she would slap his face; she had always been a faithful and virtuous wife to him, and had support - d herself by staymaking during the time she lived separately from him. After the words had passed in the public.house they left and walked to gether some distance without speaking a word. At length the prisoner said " What did he say ?" alluding to what the landlord had said. He then said, " There's no knowing the heart of any man;" and he began to push his wife. She told him not to do so. He laid hold of her, an d s h e th oug h t h e was go i ng to kiss her. She remonstrated with him, and she then saw him draw a knife from his pocket, and he attempted to cut her throat. She screamed, and they fell—he was still endea vouring to cut her throat. The cuts went through her shawl, bonnet, and ribands, and five wounds were inflicted on her face and neck. At the instant a young woman came up and seized the hand in which was the knife, and pulled his head back. She contrived to hold his hand and the knife for some time, till he got his hand away and agent cut at his wife, who screamed. " Murder," and said "My dear, don't cut my throat." The other wo man said, " You bad man, you've killed the woman," and she ran and procured assistance. She returned and took the prisoner by the collar. He said, "I am not going to run away." She said, " I'll take care you don't, you bad man;" and she gave him into the custody of t policemen. The wife was confined to her bed fir sotee time; the wounds did not heal for nearly a month, and were still at times very painful. When the prisoner was sober he was very kind to his wife, but he was given to drink, and was then very excitable; he would change in a moment. When the prisoner was taken, be said his wife was a brute, and had taken the knife cut of his pocket and tried to cut his throat. The knife was a common pruning knife. There was blood on the greund. Mr. C. SatretDEas addressed the jury with consider able force for the prisoner, contending that there was not a deliberate intention to murder the wife. Two days before, the man had treated her with the greatest kind ness and affection; he had cried—he had kissed her—he was anxious to forgive and forget, but on the unfortunate day when this had beppmed the landlord had made use of an expression wheih touched that chord which had been wounded. His countenance altered in a moment, his whole feelings be came changed, his jealousy was again roused, but still he did not intend to murder. He walked with his wife; note/ word passed for some time; the expression of the landlord was rankling in his heart, and he asked what words the man had used; the wife would not answer, and in a moment of uncontrolled jealous, drunken passion he had drawn the knife from his pocket, and had acted in the manner which had been related to them. Mr. Justice TALFOURD having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and the prisoner was sentenced to be transported for life. The Learned JUDGE told the young woman who had rendered such assistance, that he could not let her go without saying how much they were all indebted to her for the great courage she had displayed; he had never heard of any one acting so well. He bad the power of awarding a small sum to a person for apprehending a felon, and be should, therefore , in this ease award her 51., and he hoped she would purchase some trifle that might be kept by her and her family it; remembrance of her courageous act. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Edward Williams was brought before Sir R. W. Car den for final examination, upon the charge of having stolen a bag containing nine sovereigns, the property of Mr. Bird, the proprietor of the Burton coffee-house, in Freeman's-court, Cheapside. The prisoner was committed for trial. Joseph Webb was oharged with having robbed a lady of her purse. Ambrose Wilson, a bootmaker, said, as he was pass ing along Aldgate on Monday evening, a few minutes after 7 o'clock, he saw the prisoner slip his hand into the pocket of a lady, draw out something, and run away as fast as he could. Witness followed, and collared the fellow with the purse in his hand, and handed him over to a constable. Mrs. Triggs, a lady who resides in Great St. Helen's, said she felt a tug at her pocket, and upon turning round saw the prisoner running, and the last witness following him. She found that she had been robbed -of her purse, but the money it contained had fallen :into her pocket. She identified the purse in the hand of the prisoner. The prisoner was committed for trial. The moment the wife of the prisoner heard that her husband was committed, she fell to the ground in a state of in sensibility. BO IV-STREET. In the course of the afternoon Mr. Jardine was waited upon by three young women of respectable appearance, who handed him the following letter:— " TO THE MAGISTRATES OF BOW-STREET, LONDON. " Paris, Feb. 24. " Gentlemen,—The bearers of this letter are three young Englishwomen, Mrs. Roby, Miss Goodwin, and Miss Howard, who were engaged by a Mr. Butler, in London, as the agent (Ilan Englishman resident in Paris, named Tucker, but who professes to be a Greek, and passes under various names; among which are those of the Baron Mortimer, Mr. Ticket, Mr. Deacon, and Hatiz. It was under this latter name the engagement was made by the agent in London. The bearers will detail to you all the circumstances attending their en gagement, their coming to France, and the conduct of this person to them since they had been here. Being in extreme distress, they applied at the Briti , h and Consulate, and means have been tali., In both by my direction and through the agency of an E.,glish protes sional man resident here, to endeavour to obtain some redress for the injury inflicted on these unfortunate young women, but without success. " I have advised them to lay before you their case on their return to England, in the hope that the agent in England, if an accomplice, may be punished, or, if he be also a dupe of this Mr. Hafiz, may be warned against inflicting injury on other persons. They have been furnished with the moans of re turning to England by the English Charitable Fund. I have the honour to be, &c., " THOMAS BICKFORD, British Consul." Mr. JARDINE, after reading the letter, inquired what was the nature of the agreement and its proposed dura tion? A gentleman who accompanied the applicants stated that the engagement with Mr. Butler, on behalf of Hafiz, was that they should each receive 2/. per week for dan cing at a theatre in Paris, adding that Butler's office was in the neighbourhood of the court. Mr. Butler having been sent for by the magistrate, stated that he was a theatrical agent, and was applied to in the ordinary way of business by the person in Paris to make the engagement, and before the ladies signed under the agreement he explained the circumstanceaersta which it was entered into, and gave them to u u nd who t ; that he had no other knowledge of the once afforded him.

Mr. littouorrrobt (to the prisoner)—Do you wish to sa y tiny-thing in addition to your former statement? Pri sorer—Nu, sir. it will he remembered, that upon the first examina tion the prisoner alleged that his late master, Mr. Du four, 23, Queen Anne street, Cavendish-iquare, and upon whose prosecution for robbing him of plate he was tried and sentenced to six months' hard labour, had re fused to give him a sit.gle farthing out of wages due to him upon his making application to him (Mr. Dufour), at his chambers, for a small sum to enable him to go into the country. Mr. Dufour, having seed a report of ) 'the case in the newspapers, was present with t he view of stating the facts, which he said were briefly these: — So far from his owing any amount whatever for wages, he had paid the prisoner money in advance, and wnen he (the prisoner) celled upoe him at his chambers, and asked him for money to take him into the country, he did not mention a single word respecting wages. After he was tried and convicted, he (Mr. Dufour) as certained that he had nut left the service of the Rev. Mr. To enshend in consequence of his having broken a blood-vessel, but that he had been discharged for im moral conduct. Mr. Dufour added that the prisoner had formerly robbed a fellow-.servant, and he (Slr. Dufour) being convinced that the prisoner was a worthless cha racter, regretted now that he had at the trial recom mended him to mercy. His statement as to wages being due to him was altogether false. Mr. BROUGHTON asked the prisoner in the usual way if ho had anything to add to the statement which he had previously made? The prisoner—l could say more , but for the present I shall keep it to myself. Mr. BROUGHTON committed him for trial for "shoot ing with intent to murder" Mr. Veale. WORSHIP-STREET. Alfred Moseley, a young man recognised by the p ollee, was charged wide the following burglary: — A constable of the 11 division was on duty in Crab' tree-row, Hackney, at an early hour that morning, when he saw the prisoner on the opposite side of the road hurrying along with a bundle under his arm, which he was manifestly endeavouring to conceal. He imme diately pursued the prisoner, stopped him, and de manded to know the contents of the bundle, but the pri soner, before any inspection of them could take Plan e ,' flung the parcel out into th e r oa d, and darted off sees rapidity that he was out of sight in an !nata nt. Upon examining the parcel it was found to contain four valuable concertinas, six accordions, two flutes, a flageolette, and other musical instruments, t o g ether with a crowbar, or " jemmy," and other housebreakin 11°g implements. The property was transferred to the : lion, and, as it obviously formed part of the produce pe some burglary, a route-paper was gent round to the dit ferent beats, and a short time after Caffrey, a co nstable of the same division, happened to be passing th e ho c u se t of Mr. George Courtin°, a musical instrument m aker Kingsland, and, noticing his street door to be wide rang him up to ascertain if he had been robbed t ha . t person. knowing that he had well secured his premise° 'mining the place, found that the house had been on retiring to rest, went down to his shop, and, on ea on entered during the ni g ht an d pl un d ere d, ari d, on goingl a i t (he station to which the pr o p er ty f oun d o n the Wu's" heel been carried, immediately identified it as his 0 / 1 11 ; A minute description of the prisoner's person was in t ' d ineaetirne furnished to Caff re y by t h e officer who stopn e hire, and that constable, in the course of the day, snnd ceeeed in tracing him to a house in Crutchedfriars, an took him into custody.
