ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, Dec. 21. CR0W14661.ia.- 1 3efore Mr. Justice MAULE.) John Robinson Tomkins, aged 49, William Lilley, John Kershaw, John Farrell, James Radcliffe, James Lees, John Pogson, and James Neild, the latter four about 18 years of age, were indicted for conspirrcy, by riot, &c., to overthrow the Government and con stitution, to obstruct the execution of the laws and to arm themselves in order to carry the conspiracy into effect. There were several other counts, vary ing the form of the charge. The prisoners, it was shown, formed a portion of the Chartist rioters at Ashton, in August last, when Bright, the policeman, was killed. The charge having been proved in evidence, the Judge summed up, and The jury retired, and were absent about an hour, when they returned and gave a verdict of Guilty against Tomkins, Lilley, Kershaw, Farrell, Pogson, and Neild, but strongly recommeuded the last two to mercy on account of their youth. (They were about 18 years of age.) As against Radcliffe and Lees, Mr. Paxprs, in replying, had admitted no case was proved, they were acquitted accordingly.—Sentence deferred. James Bland, John Kilvington, John Robinson, and Leech were then arraigned for offences arising out of Chartism. No evidence was offered by Mr. Phipps against them, and they were acquitted ; On which one of them said, they returned thanks to the Government for the mercy shown in their be half. Mary Steel, a good-looking young girl about 20 years old, apparently having been a servant, pleaded guilty to an indictment for concealing the birth of her child, at Bilton-with-Harrogate in the West Riding, on the 2d of August last. His LORDSHIP, after a feeling address, saying that it was necessary, notwithstanding the good character she had received, and the respectability of her friends, that he should inflict some punishment, sentenced her to three months' imprisonment. (Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) Joseph Harri son Cl au ghton, James Driver, James Lupton, John D ean , and Janc Robinson, were in dicted fur a burglary in the house of T homas Cogill, in Leeds, on the 24th of September last. Mr. Hall and Mr. Wheelhouse prosecuted ; Mr. Blanshard defended Lupton. Mr. Cegill keeps an inn in Vicars Croft, in Leeds, and on the evening in question he went to bed a little before twelve, having previously seen all safe. It was his custom to leave the ha , k door of his premises on the latch, in order to allow his brewer to get into the brewery, every Wednesday night. This was known to the prisoner Driver, wh o h a d b een upon t h e premises as an occa s i ona l h e l per i n the b rewery. On this night, a policeman going his round, observed the prisoners Claughton and Driver coming out of the yard at half p as t one i n t h e morning. T his attracted his attention, and he went into the yard, and found the pantry window of Mr. Cogill's house broken open. Ho then obtained assistance, and following the prisoners, teak them into custody. They then returned to Mr. Cogill's, called up the household, and then it was found that some ham, three coffee-pots, a pepper-box, and some other articles had been taken thence. The caie against Dean was, that he was watching to prevent alarm ; and against the man Lup ton, and the female, for receiving the goods, well knowing them to be stolen. The jury found Driver and Claughton Guilty of the burglary ; Lupton Guilty of receiving ; and Ac quitted the two other prisoners. The prisoners Driver and Claughton were thereupon sentenced to ten years' transportation; and Lupton for fifteen years. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates.) JUDGMENT. On Thursday George Joseph Murray, alias Bradley, alias Williams, who had pleaded guilty at a former sessions to three indictments, charging him with being th e k eeper o f t h ree houses f ill-fame, one situate at 54, Curzon-street, May-fair ; one at 6, Shepherd-street, Oxford market ; and the other at 7, Eagle-street, Red Lion-square, was this morn ing brought up for judgment. Mr. CLAnasoN applied to the Court for its consi deration in this matter. The defendant was suffering from disease of the heart, and was otherwise afflicted with bad health. He held in his hand a certificate from the medical gentleman who had attended the defendant, wherein he stated that his patient was in such a bad state of health that, were he to be confined in prison, the most serious consequences might result to him. Under these circumstances, the Learned Counsel urged that much leniency ought in the case of the defendant to be exercised. There was a most material fact, too, which he felt bound to mention to the Court—namely, that the defendant had determined to give up the keys of these houses. Mr. BA.LLANTINE, who appeared ,for the prosecu tion, said that his instructions were, that the case of the defendant was not one in which they could interfere in mitigation by recommending him to the merciful consideration of the Court. It was not the case of a man who was the keeper of one house only of this description, but one where the defendant had long been known as the keeper of a number of houses of a similar character; and he was also known to have amassed a considerable fortune by that course of traffic. It was utterly impossible, therefore, that the prosecutors could recommend the defendant to mercy. The Learned JUDGE said, here was a man at the bar of that Court who, in 1843, had been indicted for keeping a brothel ; in 1844 he was again indicted, but in that instance he escaped punishment ; and in 1845 he was a third time submitted to a similar proceeding, but here again he escaped. All these prosecutions had been for keeping houses of ill fame. Here the same man was a fourth time charged, not with keeping one, but three, of that class of houses, and it was utterly impossible that such a man could be permitted to escape. The defendant was described also as a man of wealth, all made by these detestable means. That, too, was a circumstance which could not be overlooked; for bow many unhappy persons might not the amassing of those gains have been the ruin of! In ordinary cases of this nature, where the keeper of the house was not known, the Court visited him with imprison ment and hard labour for three months ; and where he had been previously know in the traffic, then the sentence was usually six months. But in both these insbances it was where the defendant was connected with one house only. Thus the custom of the Court, to which he had alluded, could not altogether be taken as a precedent on the - present occasion. It was utterly impossible that the Court could visit the defendant at the bar win any leniency. The sentence upon him would, therefore, be of a severe character. He should impose a heavy fine upon him, in addition to a term of imprisonmen t. The sentence on the defendant, in respect of the indictment for keeping the house No. 7, Eagle - street, was, that he be imprisoned in the House of Cot tection, Coldbath-fields, for six months, and pay a fine to the Queen of 1001.; the sentence in respect to the house No. 6, Shepherd street, Oxford-market, was three months' imprisonment in the same prison, to commence at the expiration of the above six months, and to pay a further fine of 50/. ; and then with re gard to the house No. 54, Curzon-street, the Court would require the defendant to enter into his own re cognizance of 1004 and two sureties for 401. each, to come up and receive judgment when called on to do so. The effect of this would be, that if the house were not opened again as a house of ill fame, the defendant would hear no more of the matter; but, on the other hand, if the house were to be again applied to such a purpose, then most assuredly he would re ceive a very heavy sentence. . The defendant said that all the houses had been closed for some time. The Learned JUDGE—Yes, no doubt, andfmay be opened again to-morrow. The The Learned ddefendant—No, I h ave given up the leases. proved. vxme--w e l s i, that remains to be POLICE INTELLIGENc _E. SOUTHWARK. John Williams, a young man in the employment of Messrs. M•Leod and Adams, brewers, of Clapham, was brought before Mr. Seeker, charged w i t h driving a horse and a wheeled chaise over Loui sa Il es , house _ keeper in the service of Mr. Hawkins, of Albi on . place, Blackfriars, and causing h er d ea th. Sarah Ball, of No. 71, New-street, stated that she sold fruit at the corner of Charles-street, Blackfriars • road, and that on the previous afternoon, about half past four o'clock, as she was attending to her stall, she saw a female in the act of crossing the road. Be fore, however, she had time to reach the opposite side, witness observed a horse and chaise coming along at a rapid pace, from the direction of Blackfriars-bridge, and saw the horse run against the woman, who was knocked down, and the chaise passed over her. 'Witness immediately ran to the woman's assistance, but found she lay on the ground without moving, and to all appearance dead, and she then observed that the driver did not stop to ascertain what in jury he might have caused, but proceeded on his road at a swifter pace than he was Previously driving. The witness added that some person s ran after the chaise, and succeeded in stopping the prisoner before he got as far as Rowland Hill's Chapel, and he was given into custody; that she subsequently was in formed that the woman who who was run over, and whose name and place of abode were unknown at the time, died in the surgery of Mr. Jones, whither she was conveyed after the accident. James Richardson said th.it he was walking along Blackfriars-road at the time of the accflenr, and saw the prisoner whip the horse after the woman wa. run over, evidently w ith th e i n t en ti on o f ma ki ng hi s escape. Witness, however, pursued him, and suc ceeded in seizing the reigns of the horse, and stop- ping the vehicle, and on bringing the prisoner back to the spot where the woman was run over, he found that she was carried into a surgeon's house adjacent, where she expired. An inspector of the L division stated, that when the prisoner was brought to the station-house, he said that the accident was occasioned in consequence of a collision with an omnibus, the driver of which attempted to strike him with his whip, and that in his endeavour to avoid the blow, he pulled the reins of his horse a little on one side, and the deceased happening to be in the act of crossing the road at the moment, she was knocked down and run over. The Inspector added, that the prisoner admitted he was aware 6f the accident, but that he was so alarmed, instead of stopping he drove forward, until he was stopped. One of the prisoner's employers said that he was a sober and careful driver, and that they had no cause of complaint against him since he had been in their service, and that on the day in question he had driven two of his children home from Norwood, and that it was afterwards the accident unfortunately happened. Mr. SECKER said that the prisoner must be re manded. Bail was then put in for his appearance. It was stated that the deceased was an aged woman, and that she had been 40 years in the service of the gentleman with whom she had been living up to the period of her untimely death. LAMBETH. James Ludlan, alias The Saint, a member of the s well mob, was again placed at the bar, before Mr. Norton, for further examination, on a charge of bur glary and robbery, at the Coach and Horses beer house, in Brandon-street, Lock's-fields, and stealing therefrom 3151.55., in bank-notes, gold, and silver ; and also on a fresh charge of stealing from 601. to 70/. in silver from the Old Justice public•house,ln Bermondsey-wall. Mr. Games appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Roberts for the defence. In addition to the evidence given on the preceding examination, and which appeared in The Sun of Thursday, Mary Ann Sharp, a little girl of 16 years of age, was called, and stated that on Saturday morning last, at about nine o'clock, she went to the Coach and I forses beer shop for some beer, and on leaving the house she saw a man on the pavement who said, "Make haste," and instantly a man jumped out of the first floor window, and both ran away. She (wit ness) returned to the house, and told Mrs. Butler that a man had just jumped out of the window. In reply to the questions of the magistrate, the witness said she could not say the prisoner was the person she Lad seen jump from the window, as she had not an opportunity of seeing his face, but she recognised the prisoner from having frequently seen him at Mrs. Butler's house. Mrs. Eliza Butler, the wife of the prosecutor, was r0 . .-xt sworn, and said the last witness had made a mistake as to the time when she saw the man jump fcom the window, for instead of nine, it must have been between the hours of seven and eight, as the po lice had been acquainted with the robbery before the latter hour. The witness also said that she had been into the bedroom from which the property had been stolen at a quarter to seven o'clock on the same evening, and locked it on leaving, when all the pro perty was safe. The fastening to the room was very imperfect, and the thief must have entered from the utside. Mrs. White, who had been examined on Wednes day, was recalled, and swore positively to the prisoner being the person she had just seen at, and then jump from, the window of the prosecutor. Sergeant Smith, of the P division of police, deposed hat from the information giv e n t o him o n the night of the robbery by Mrs. Butler, his suspicions were at once directed to the prisoner, and he had, in conse quence, with other constables, watched his house until Wednesday morning, when he was taken into custody. On the Sunday morning be saw a person named Hicks, but who was better known as "Black Jack," and also a person named Hinton, call at the prisoner's house, and after stopping there some little time, they left and returned to the house of Mr. Butler, whom he saw then in conversation with the rosecutor. He (Smith) was subsequently informed that shortly after these persons had called, the priso ner left his house, and did not return until the Tues day night following. Upon being apprehended on Wednesday morning, the prisoner asked him (Smith) and Davis, his fellow-officer, if they really bad the sanction of Mr. Butler for doing so, and resisted going to the station-house, saying they had no right to take him there without a warrant. Mr. Robinson, the superintendent of the P division of police, said he was prepared to show that the pri soner had been before in custody, and that he and the man "Black Jack" spoken of had been committed to prison for three months each for having a quantity of skeleton-keys in their possession. He (Mr. Robin son) also understood that there was another charge rgainst the prisoner. — Mrs. Mar - y Wrikins was then sworn, and deposed that for a month or five weeks past the prisoner had been in the habit of frequenting her house, the Old Justice, in Bermondsey-wall, and represented himself as Mr. Wright, and said he was a coal merchant. On one occasion he asked her to give him gold or notes for silver, and on another a 51. note for gold, nd this she had no doubt was done with the view of ascertaining where she kept her cash. On Friday evening last he came to her house and called for a glass of half-and-half at the bar, and while drinking he went out backwards, and on returning she no ticed that he kept tapping with the heel or toe of his boot on the floor, and soon after left the house. He was not gone ten minutes when it was discovered that her (witness's) bedroom door had been opened by a skeleton key, a drawer found open, and a bag, con taining from 601. to TOL in silver, carried away. The witness added that she had no doubt that the prisoner, when he went into the yard, let a confederate in by the back gate, and that this person committed the robbery. Mary Ann Camplin, the niece of the last witness, corroborated a great portion of her evidence, and said she had been to the bedroom of her aunt about twenty minutes before the discovery of the robbery, when she locked the door and left all safe. She was quite positive as to the prisoner's identity. On the application of Mr. Games and Mr. Robin son, the prisoner was remanded for a week. THAMES. John Barley, a coal porter and carman, in the em ploy of Mr. Green, a coal merchant in the City-road, was brought up on remand, charged with the wilful murder of Lewis Caustatt, a dock labourer, better known by the name of Lewis Lewis. The occurrence which led to the death of the un -fortunate man took place in Nightingale-lane, a narrow street, bounded on each side by the walls of the St. Katherine's and London Dock, and leading from Upper East Smithfield to Wapping. The west side of this lane is rendered nearly impassable every morning by the number of labourers who congregate there, waiting for empl o y men t i n th e S t. K at h er i ne ' s Dock. Robert Welch, a labourer, said that on Sunday morning last, between the hours of seven or eight o'clock, as he was in Nightingale-lane, advancing to wards letter D warehouse of the St. Katherine Dock, he saw the prisoner, who was driving a waggon laden with coals, and drawn by three horses, on its way from Wapping to East Smithfield. The team was close on the body of men waiting for employment outside F warehouse, and the prisoner shouted after them, and told them to get out of the way. An al tercation took place between the prisoner and the dockmen, and the prisoner threatened to knock down some of them, and threw his whip and coat on the ground, and challenged one of them to fight. Pre vious to doing so, the prisoner stopped his waggon and horses. A fight took place between the prisoner and one or two of the dockmen. The prisoner was twice knocked down, and when he recovered from his second fall he took up his whip and coat, said he had had enough of it, and drove on towards the ware house, where another body of labourers were assem bled. Witness was on the footpath outside the ware house on the near side of the waggon, and as the team approached close to the body of men, he distinctly saw the prisoner throw his whip across the neck of the wheel horse, which immediately moved inwards towards the men. He feared that some one would be killed, and rushed forward, when he saw the de ceased lying in the road, about six or seven feet from the footpath, with his head crushed, and the blood oozing from his person. He was quite sure the team rec t kl te essly would have clear e d th e b o d y of labourers with several spare,gueidifd his the h porrisseosnteorwhaardds th no e t m w . ilfully and John Butler deposedand that that he was wa iti ng f or tem ploy at th e gate,thehe phroids3o.noefrladhroovuerehriss wait inggon and h orses so close to ing there, that some of two were nearly run over.

He went in advance of the prisoner to the dock -gate, and was standing about two yards from the deceased, who was on tiptoe, looking Mr. Hunter, who was calling the names over, in the face. He had not been at the d , :ck-gate more than a minute when the horses and waggon were driven close up to the body of labourers, out of its proper course, and the deceased was struck by the fore part of the waggon and thrown down.

Other witnesses gave birnilar evidence relating to e threat used by the prisoner, and to his throwing his whip across the neck of the thill horse, which brought the waggon close to the footpath where the men were standing. There was 14 feet to spare in the road on the east side of the waggon. Mr. Peter Gowlland, house-surgeon of the London Hospital, said the deceased was quite dead when brought there. AU the bones of the front of the skull were more or less driven into the brain, and five ribs were broken. Mr. Nathan Caustatt, surgeon, of Bevis• marks, said the deceased was his brother, and that he had iden tified his body. The prisoner made no defence, and said he only wanted a copy of the , depositions. Mr. YARD - ZRY said the prisoner was already charged on the coroner's inquisition with manslaughter, but after the evidence he had heard, he considered it was his imperative duty to commit him to take his trial on the more serious charge of wilful murder. The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute and give evidence. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. WHITEHALL, DEC 15, 1848.

English malting brought 32s to 36s per imperial quarter; Eng , bib and foreign grinding, 24s to 28s per 400,b5, show ing that for grinding parcels there was a fair demand.

Beans remain unaltered, viz , English 40s to 44s per imperial quarter; foreign, 34s to 38s per 480Ibs. At Gloucester, the market ruled exceedingly heavy, and the transactions in all descriptions of gram were of the most circumscribed character, with values generally par taking of a downward tendency. The arrivals during the week have been, from New York, in the John, 3,796 barrels of flour; in the Cosmo, from New York, 3,000 barrels of flour, and 200 barrels of corn-meal; from Marseilles, in the Trembledais, 2,959 quarters of wheat; from Nantes, in the Trente Mowzen, 1,130 quarters of barley ; from Moriez, in the Cinq Freres, 600 quarters of wheat; from St. Martin, in Le St. Julien, 150 bags of barley; from Cork, in the Juverna, 200 sacks of oats; from Waterford, in the Victory, 767 barrels of oats, 620 sacks of oats, and 300 quarters of oats; from Gloucester, in the Fanny, 500 sacks of flour, and 30 quarters of barley.

REMOVAL OF STATE PRISONERS. On Wednesday night the following prisoners wer brought from Belfast, and then conveyed to Kilmainhatn gaol, where they were handed over to the care of Mr• Allison, the governor :—Messrs. Patrick O'Higgins' Stephen, J. Meany, and Joseph Brennan. It has not been stated why the parties have been removed. Mr. Rea, of Belfast, who is at present confined in Kilmaln ham, memorialised the Government to liberate him en bail, but his application has been refused. Mr. O'Higgins is charged with treason, and with having an immense quanity of gun-stocks in the rough on his premises. Meany was sub-editor of the Tribune, and Brennan sub-editor of the Felon. Rea is an attor ney. He maintains that he never did anything of a trea sonous character—he was only an active member of a Confederate Club. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. We have generally remarked that cattle lifting is a common offence about this period of the year as sheep stealing is at Midsummer. The boys show their good taste so lar. Beef at Christmas, and mutton when the turnips are in season. The southern papers have a variety of paragraphs like the following:— " A few nights ago five cows were stolen from off the lands of Kilgoblin, near Kilrush, the property of, the Rev. Mr. Howard." Five cowsi ttokn from one gentleman, and in one night. We must presume the very active police of the district will at least recover the hides and horns. Mr. Lawford and Mr. Watson had an intervi ew with the Right Hon. H. Labouchere yesterday, s t the office of the Board of Trade. Earl Granville left town yesterday for Alderham Park, Bridgenorth. M.

MR. DUF'FY'S TRIAL. There was no allusion made yesterday, in the Com mission Court, to the case of Mr. Duffy. Th e judg ment on the points raised on Tuesday will probably not be given before to-morrow ; of the result there is, little doubt. The Freeman's Journal of this morning says—" The prophecy we ventured upon yesterday in the absence of our ordinary report, that the bill against Mr. Duffy would be quashed, will, we be lieve, prove strictly true, and we should not be much sur prised if Mr. Duffy were to eat his Christmas dinner with his family outside of Newgate. The means by which this result will have been brought about Mr. Justice Perrin compels us to shroud in darkness for the present, but we bill probably be able to resume our prophecies to morrow." DUBLIN, FRlDAY.—Shortly after Judges Perrin and Richards had taken their seats in the Commission Court yesterday, counsel for the Crown and Mr. Duffy being present, the senior judge observed that they had not bad time to look into all the authorities cited by one side and the other, and could not, therefore, pronounce their opinion on the plea in abatement. As there were but three more cases for trial, the Court hoped to be able to give judgment tomorrow (Friday). The Court did not wish to have the jury lucked up during Sunday and Monday, therefore they thought the better course to let the trial stand over until Tuesday morning. It Wee clear that, no matter what their decision might be on the plea in abatement, a trial could not be had before Christmas, and of course the time at which it might be commenced should depend upo❑ that decision. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL acquiesced in the sugges tions of the Learned Judge. He would not expose the jury to the inconvenience of being locked up on Sunda! and Christmas-day. After a few more rather colloquial observations be tween the bench and the bar, the subject dropped. So sanguine are Mr. Duffy's legal advisers of getting a favourable judgment on their crochetty plea, that they had bailsruen ready to go security for his future appear twee, should the Court have ordered his discharge Yes terday.
