Mr. BALLANTINE said he was in a position to produce counter affidavits. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said that the best way would be for him to go and see it himself; his own eyes would be better than 200 affidavits. After some further discussion, the defendant was ordered to remove the nuisance within a month, and to enter into his own recognizmiees, and two sureties in 100/. each, to come up for judgment on the 27th April next. WWI! t .:. posed the' to show th, George T igy, was indicted, charged with a misdo• meanour in having escaped from the custody of a sheriff :4 officer. Mr. BALLANTINE appeared for the defcndant, and submitted that the indictment was invalid, as it was laid a down that unless the party was in custody for a criminal r,flenee, a prosecution could not be maintained, in sup port of which tl-,c Learned Counsel quoted an authority from " Hawkins's Crowr. Cases." The ASSISTANT-JUDGE having referred to the autho rity quoted, said that the offence with which the de fendant was charged did not come within the pale of the criminal law. Mr. Levy (sheriff's officer) reminded the Court that about three years ago a man was tried and convicted of a similar offence in this court. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said that he should feel obliged if Mr. Levy would furnish him with the dates. Mr. Levy at once undertook to furnish the required dates by to-morrow. , I Edward Timm, C. Roberts, and R. Richards, were indicted, charged with an assault on Mrs. Thomas Green. The facts, although given at great length, may be gleaned from the following narrative:— There was a dispute between Mr. Barnard Gregory and two other persons, as to who was the landlord of certain premises in Castle-street, Leicester-square, oc cupied by a fishmonger named Green. The defendants went, under Mr. Gregory's instructions, one morning during Mr. Green's absence, and proceeded to take for 7 eible possession of the house, and commenced rertiovinN the doors, windows,...and_flooring._ln_the midst of the confusion, which was occasioned by this proceeding, it was proved that Timm struck ;Mrs. Green (who was far advanced in Pregnancy) on the breast wijth. hid ' clenched fist, and she was. also Assaulted by the; other two defendants.: ' The defendants were found Guilty, and' • The COURT permitted them to arrange matte' the prosecutor; in the interim to enter into their nizances to come up for judgment when called upo with ecog- POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Ge6rge Parker, porter to Messrs. Hughes, of King William street, hosiers, and William John private in the Scotch Fusileer Guards, %ere b before the Lord Mayor. Upon the evidence of Sergear4 Mitchel' man and Milton, of the city police, the ' were stated :—About two o'clock on M6nt a light was seen in the shop of Messrs. Hughes by.one of the police stationed Rear the spot, who, after communi cating with another of the force, rang the house-bell. the light disappeared the moment the bell was rung, and, the hall door having been opened, the shop, in which everything appeared to be undisturbed, was searched, but nobody was found there. The policeman then went down to the kitchen, and found Parker, the porter, lying on the bed in his clothes, and pretending to be in a sound sleep, and the soldier standing, as if in the ranks at the word "Attention," behind a screen, Upodthe sides of the screen there were footmarks,' arid jtisT above it, in the ceiling, there was a trap-door leading . to the shop, so that the officers could come to 'no conclusion but that those who had beer. in the shop at so unseasonable an hour must have descended into the kitchen, when the alarm was given, with the aid of the screen. About the kitchen were fouhd several pairs of new gloves and other articles, the property of Messrs. Hughes . , which had been removed from the skip. The soldier said ho had met Parker at six o'clock on the preceding evening, and they had got intoxicated together; that at 11 he was anxious to get home in a cab. but the driver refused to take the fare, so that he was obliged to accept the invitation of his drunken com panion to take share of a bed in the house; that, not knowing what sort of a house it Iwas to which he was invited, he objected the moment he got into it to stay,. and was pressing his objection upon the entrance of the police. He knew nothing of trap-doors, or shops, or gloves, or any thing else except the large quantity of liquor which he and his accidental friend had been en joying together. The porter said, all he remembered was the convivial company of the Scotch Fusileer and the " lush" they had taken. He recollected that he had upon a former occasion been so agitated by drink as to be considered a fit inmate for Bethlehem Hospital, so that the fact was, he had no opinion at all of himself when the temptation was at hand. It was distinctly proved that. both prisoners were, upon being taken into -Th,, a, era c , mmitted for trial. ro. 76, lon, a 'ought r Gor facts and CL ERA" EA' EL L. liens y Bryant, alias Dickenson, Ann Dichcnsoa, alias Bryant, II rliiurn f;hrtuder, alias Fog and APCoy, and /inn Healey, were placed at the bar before Mr. Cowin-, for tinsi examination. charged by Mr. Henry Cootnes, Northampton-strut t, Battle- bridge, with having been concerned in breakin and entering his dwelling - house, and stealing propt rty to a consi.terable amount. It appeared that on lust Saturday night week, during the absence of prosecutor and family, the house was entered and plundered. The whole of the prisoners were previously seen lurking near the promises, and being known bad characters, information was given to Dear, 381, and Lockerby, 180, active officers of the S division, who apprehended the prisoners. On searching the locgings of Bryant, a life-preserver, and a screw driver which corresponded with marks on the drawers, a hich had been hr, ken open, were found; also numerous duplicates, skeleton• keys, &c. Nearly the whole of the property stolen was traced to have been pledged by the prisoners. They were fully committed for trial. George Slade, a bricklayer, was placed at the bar, charged with having violently assaulted police-constables Sergeant Cotter, 15, and Lapford, 304 N, in the execu tion of their duty. It appeared that on Wednesday evening last, about seven o'clock, the prisoner entered a chapel in the Lower road, Islington, whilst the service was being performed, and conducted himself in an unbecoming manner. The police constables were called upon to interfere, when the prisoner fought at them with a trowel, and attempted to stab them with it. He resisted in a desperate manner, and fought, kicked at, and bit them. An immense crowd assembled and pelted the officers, who were severely in jured. On their way to the station-house, Sergeant Cotter called upon Mr. Bullman, grocer, Lower-road, in the Queen's name, to aid and assist him, which he re - fused to do, and after considerable difficulty, and at th risk of their (the officers') lives, they secured the pr saner in the station house. Mr. COMBE ordered that a summons should be imm a diately issued to compel Mr. Bullman's attendance, an shortly afterwards he made his appearance in court, when the officers repeated their evidence in his presence. In answer to Mr. Combo they said at that time Mr. Bullman was called upon to assist, in the Queen's name, they felt their lives to be in danger from the threats and violence of the mob. Mr. Cosine: told Mr. Bullman that his conduct was very censurable. In times like the present it was the duty of every respectable person to aid and assist the police under such circumstances when called upon. The most violent and systematic attacks had daily been made on the police in this particular neighbourhood, which rendered it necessary for them to be protected in the performance of their duty, and something must be done for that purpose. The law of the case had been very recently laid down and explained by Lord Denman and Baron Alderson, and be (Mr. Combe) would consider whether he should not communicate with the Commis sioners of Police to indict him (Mr. Bullman). Mr. Bullman—l went out to protect my property. have valuable plate glass in my shop front. The con duct of the officers was disgraceful towards the prisoner. Mr. COMTE peremptorily ordered an inspector present to report the case to his superintendent and the Com missioners, in order that they might indict Mr. Bullman. After some further proceedings, the Magistrate ordered Mr. Bullman to put in his own recogniaanoes to appear at this court on Tuesday next. In the mean time the Commissioners of Police will be consulted. Tho prisoner Slade was committed for one month to the House of Correction for the assault on Sergeant Cotter, and one month for assaultitig Lapsford, 304 N, without the alternative of releasing himself by paying any fines. I'" QtEEN ' S THEATRE, 1-141., THURSDAY, MARCH 30. Mr. G. V. Brooke, made his appearance, as Sir Giles Overreach, last evening, and proved himself worthy of the high encomiums which the London press have be stowed upon him. Miss Isabella Dickenson drew forth rounds of applause in the Eton Boy. Mr. Brooke ap pears to-morrow, the last night of his engagement, in the character of Claude Melnotte, in the Lady of Lyons, and, we doubt not, will receive substantial proofs of the estimation in which he is held in Hull. It will be observed; we are sure, with pleasure, that Mr. Colburn has again directed his attention to the con tinuation of his series of Standard Novels. Speaking of the charming story of " Emilia Wyndham,' which has lately appeared in this collection, the Morning Post observes that " Mr. Colburn's series of works of fiction is peculiarly select; from it are excluded all which have a mere transitory popularity, as well as all which are objectionable on the score of morality; in it are included all which tend to elevate the character of the modern novel, and to raise the republic of fictiou to its proper elevation; it is, therefore, a high, though a just compli ment paid to the gifted authoress of Emilia Wyndham' to republish her work as one of Colburn's Standard Novels." The new. volume, just published, contains Mrs. Gore's best novel, " Mrs. Arinytage; or Female Domination"—a valuable lessen to ,the sex in general. FOOT-RACE. — Yesterday forenoon, a foot-race for 201. aside was .run on the high road in the immediate vicinity of Falkirk, between an Englishman named Jurdan, and a Szotchman of this town, known by the name of the " flying tailor "—distance 200 yards. The race was won easily by the Englishman, who is thought to be one of the swiftest runners in the kingdom. A great number of individuals from Glasgow wete ou the spot.— Glasgow paper. . V TO TI!

November 22. 1847. PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT From the " Hull Advertiser" of FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 1848. We have this week to aneounce an entire change in the Proprie torship of the " Hull Advertiser." Mr. William Benison, the last of a spirited Reform Proprietary, dating from the era of the Re form Bill, ceased to have any pecuniary interest in this Journal from the first day of March instant. This event, usuallyo important in the social and political life of a community, involves in the future conducting of this Paper no change of per:Tons ; no modification of political principles ; no fresh combination of party associations. The late Proprietor had nothing more at heart than that the " llull Advertiser " should always be found the faithful and fearless advo cate of liberal opinicns; and the bands to which he has entrusted it have never penned a sentence which a Fox, a Grey, a Romilly, a Mackintosh, or a Cobden could have objected to as favouring mono poly in trade, inhumanity in law, bigotry in religion, or corruption in Parliament. Ile who was the Editor for the last six years, and who, during the whole of that time, was guided is his treatment of all public questions by the free and undisputed exercise of his own unfettered judgmeet, is sti:l Editor, and one of the two Proprietors to whom the Paper now - belongs. The other has for some years conducted the pecuniary business of the office, and will continue to confine himself to what the Chancellor of the Exchequer would call " the Ways and Means " department—an important one in it news paper office as well as in a Royal Cabinet. To the general reader, therefore, there will be little at first besides the imprint to remind hint of a change which has been forced on the late Proprietor by the necessity of extending his regular trade as a brewer. The most satisfactory way of placing this before the public will be to quote the following letter from Mr. Betti,os to the Editor:— " 18, Charlotte-street, Hull, March 21, 1848._ " My Dear Sir,—lt will gratify a very natural degree of public curiosity, and relieve me from more personal questionings than I have time to attend to, if you can make it convenient to announce this week that 1 am no longer proprietor of the ' Hull Advertiser,' and that the sole proprietorship of the paper is now vested in your self and Mr. Marling. " When, many years ago, I became one of several proprietors, and in 1844, the sole proprietor of the ' Hull Advertiser,' I made up my mind never to part with it, unless to some one as strongly devo ted to the support of true Reform principles as I was myself. The management of newspaper property was far from being as congenial to my habits as the business of a brewer, which I inherited from my father ; but I looked upon the ' Advertiser' as a public trust, which I felt bound only to deliver to one capable of carrying out the ob jects for which it was first purchased for the Reform party. For six years you have been its uncontrolled, irresponsible Editor. By the fearless and able exercise of your talents and your indwstry, you have obtained for it a larger circulation, and a more commanding influence than it ever possessed before ; and such is my unllounded confidence in your personal and political integrity, that I believe that I cannot 'perform a greater service to the , Liberal• cause than by committing the chief organ of the Liberal party in the East Riding of Yorkshire permanently to your management and direction. You have made the paper. a good property, and one with which I should be very loath now to part, but that there_ is a necessity for very z larevrips busieseee..—asr-wergsiwaraisTsuryois na,o4artner in that busibitlicAlid requir that . 1 . 100 1 1 . 1 4~ , litifiatrVis.esshould be employed in carrying* It on with spirit. geof competition, in which to do one thing well is enough 4.eltOrte.tabtishment. - t! , 1.113fr. Marling you have a trustworthy colleague, and a safe man of business. During his management of the affairs of the Ad 'rira,rtiser office he possessed, and proved himself deserving of pos sessing, all my confidence. You know his worth, and how to appre ciate it at its true value. " And now, my dear Sir, in severing my connexion as proprietor with the Will Advertiser,' it is my earnest wish, as it is that of ail my family, that the friendly and affeetionate Intercourse which has subsisted between us, without an hour's interruption. since the day of your first appearance in Hull, may be continued on the old footing. You can hardly represent yourself as less free from all poli tical influence, on my part, than - you ever were. Let us then retain the eld intimacy so gratifying to us all. Yourself and Mr. Marling have the sincerest wishes of my. heart for your joint success in an undertaking, in which it would be hard to find two men more compe tent for their respective parts. Indeed, I know that your labours must be crowned with success, if merit meets with its due reward. "I am, my dear Sir, " Tours very affectionately, " WILL IA II BETTISON. " E. F. Collins, Esq." This letter is all that we could wish—all that the public can rea sonably desire it the way of explanarion of a ehange, which will not be felt either in the political tone or in the general management of the "Hull Advertiser." The new Proprietors have few, professions to make, and are content to rest their success on the extent and fide lity of their endeavours to deserve it. One proMise the editor may make to the people. The " dull Advertiser" will never, under his management, be the tool of any party, or the organ of any clique or faction —political or religious. It wilt never be found supporting corrupt and ambitious men at the expense of great and enlightened principles ; nor attscking the foundations of law and order to court an ephemeral popularity. Not that we wish the shadow of doubt to be felt as to our political principles. We are Liberals in the most general interpretation of that term. We are the advocates of Free - l Trade—Church Reform—Law Reform—the suppori of an ex tended Electoral Franchise—of the abolition of th g avigation- Laws —the University Tests—the mockery of Officia Swearing— Capital Punishments—and for the substitution of Peace for Military principles in the :government and control of all the nations of the earth. We are strongly in favour of a system of National Edima• tion, and look upon the schoolmaster as the great regenerator of our social system. It will be our peculiar study and our greatest Pleasure to co-ope rate with every movement having for its object the improvement of thesocial and physical condition of the people among whom this journal more especially circulates. Local reforms are, after all, the things which should chitlly occupy the constant_ attention of a pro vineial press. And hefewe hope to be well supported bye oar con temporaries of every shape of opinion. We have no jealousy of rival newspapers, and do not propose to ourselves the employment of any means to diminish their profits, or curtail their circulation." We can speak of the success which has attended our .own labours without directly or indirectly implying a want of success on the part of our contemporaries. The great mission et a free press Is not fulfilled by the traduction of rival journals, or the vituperative_ railings and counter-railings of the organs of dverse opinions. The press, as a great intellectual institution, owes a respect to itself inconsistent with thOse coarse bickerings which arc never popular but in a semi barbarous state of society. We trust to be pardoned for observing that henceforth all our in ,tertsts arc mixed up with the prosperity of Hull. In assuming the proprietorship of this paper, we have aimed as much at making our residence In Yorkshire a permanent one, as in obtaining an organ wherewith to effect some social and political good in our generation. We are happy to say that it would require no increase of our present circulation to make the engagement upon which we have entered a profitable one. To stand still would be to obtain a remunerative share of success. But, with the blessing of God, we are not destined to enter upon what, in this ever-advancing world, should be con sidered as a retrograde course. We have arrangements in contem- DIAL..nt , rlllOl. *4*__SX, oastieetel. will place us in an • advaneed posi tion as regards our Enos enterprising pro vinelio , smtemporaries. Wherever lurking genius is to be found, it will be our care to draw it forth, and to enrich the world with its hidden treasures. There is a great abundance of unemployed intellectual wealth in Ilull, for which we hope some day to find profitable in vestment. There is also a vast amount of moral and social evil to be remedied, not entirely beyond the reach of newspaper influence. In the way of sanitary reform there 14 more to be done than would suffice to constitute the twe've labstir% of Hercules. With these views, and with an earnest determination to do all in our power to redress the real grievan es of every class and party of our fellow townsmen, we enter upon the more extended sphere of our public ditties. We ask from all extens ve support, and generous sympathy and encouragement. The " Hull Advertiser" is most extensively circulated in Hull, the East Riding of Yorkshire, and North Lincolnshire, and is therefore an excellent Advertising Medium for professional gentlemen, agri culturists, auctioneers, commercial agents, &c. • It it published for the proprietors, Edward Francis Collins and John Marling, early every Friday morning, at the office, 26, Low gate, Hull, where all communications, orders for papers, advertise ments, &c., arc respectfully requested to be sent.

The name and genius of Thom aro well known ancLuOrersally ac knowledged ; many of the feeling and pathetic effusions of his muse have been brought before the public, not 'only in a combined form, but in various periodicals. His talents attracted the attention of the ablest judges; and the Messrs. Chambers, in their JOurnal, hare de noted a chapter to his autobiography, and to that favourable meed of praise to which they considered his merits entitled. The life of William Thom has, indeed, combined the vicissitudes of a humble child of the Muses, having formed a scene of trials and dis appointments, accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and distress. Many of his earliest and best years were passed at the Hawkhill -f Dundee—the remembrance of which seemed deeply impressed on his mind ; for thither, to Use his own emphatic language, he wishod to return, like a bird that flutters round her forsaken nest, to spend his latter days in comparative peace and quiet. _ _ wishes were fuliilled, for not many months ago he did return T ! t om his wanderings, debilitated and impoverished, and breathed his last on Monday, the '2Bth of February. He has left a widow and three infant children, the youngest but Live months old, totally unprovided for ; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fund, in order, if possible, to afford them permanent assistance. A Committee has been appointed, who have cheerftilly undertaken this duty, and al ready they are happy to announce that their call has been responded to in a prompt and liberal manner. Lord Kinnaird, Lord Jeffrey, Messrs. Denglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers, • and many others, have spontaneously sent their contributions ; and it i• earnestly hoped that the charitable and the admirers Of native genius and un obtrusive merit will support and encourage the laudable object which the Committee have in view.

Sir,--The painful task has been deputed to me, of announcing to the public the death of William Thorn, the Inverury poet. ,For some time past he had been in 'delicate and declining health ; and his diseased state of body was doubtle,ss aggravated by the uncer tainty of his circumstances, and the consequent, anguish of his honourable and sensitive mind. Yesterday, in our city, at half past eleven A.M., he depqrted this life. Ile has left behind hi and m something more than a name—some true beautitul strains. which, as " a thing of beauty Is a joy for ever," the world will not willingly suffer, like the inscription on the eolith, to be buried in the tomb. Ho has left behind him, alas! something of yet ten derer and mere mournful interest—a widow and three children, th 7 eldest of wliom is only four years, and the yoangest but a few months old. These are " utterly destitute," and but for the kind ness of one or two private friends, might have been cast out ere this to the charity of the streets. I make no appeal in behalf of the poet himself;" after life's fitful fever he sleeps well." He has found what the most troubled and tempest-tossed wanderer will at last find, and which to him was peculiarly grateful—rest. Icor will I indulge or express any vindictive feelings as to the treatment which he received while yet alive. A true poet, he met with truly poetic usage. Ile was caressed, but not fed ; as if one could sup on incense, or as if one public dinner could keep a man alive for years ! But I would bespeak general sympathy in behalf of his destitute family. I would implore every lover of literature — every one who has derived pleasure from , the departed poet's lyrics. or from the t - nr14 . 4 sta - y or bi rife —a+ C Men' pl,rio‘,4, and their gratitude true by some more substantial evidence than ex clamations or tears. I would call especially upon those who saw him at our late Watt Festival, and heard almost his latest breath given forth in those brief, broken, but thrilling accents—accents how far superior to the measured cadences of rhetoric—to testify by generous deeds their sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was the privilege of meeting with and hearing him fur the last time. No time ought to be lost. Indeed, no time has been lost. Intima tions to the above effect either have been, or are immediately to he, dispatched to Douglas Jerrold, Charles Dickens, Lord Jeffrey, and others. But as Dundee has had the honour of containing his death bed, let us follow the start we have acciden.ally gained by instant, active, strenuous efforts in behalf of his widow and his fatherless bairns.

For oh 1 it may be that this chill night wind Sweeps round some tireless hearth, Freezing the heart of the homeless ens, With never a friend on earth. Then aye, as wo sing, may we closer cling, In our bright and brotherly glee ; Yet never forget that the sun may set On the homes of misery. Man was not made for this world alone, The world was lent to man ; 'Tis a debt we owe to Heaven, you know, Then pay it as well as you can. Now winter rides mad in his carriage of snow, With his pelting rain and his hail; May it never be said that hunger and woe Held abiding in bonny Dean Vale. Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling, In our bright and brotherly glee, And never forget that the sun may set On the homes of misery. W. TIMM.

INSPECTION OF THE ROYAL ARTILLERY AT BLACKHEATH. WooLwicn, MARCU 31—The guard-mounting of the Royal Artillery took place this morning at five o'clock, and at a quarter before nine o'clock A.N. the whole of officers, non-commissioned officers, and men off duty assembled on the guard-mounting parade, under the command of Colonel Cruttenden, and were formed into four divisions—the right division under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Wright, the centre right division under Lieutenant-Colonel Clarke, the left centre division under Lieutenant-Colonel Furneux, and the left division under Lieutenant-Colonel Warde. At a quarter-past nine o'clock the troops marched from the parade-ground, and proceeded through the south-wester❑ entrance to Blackheath, the excellent band and drums and fifes alternately enlivening the march by playing favourite airs. On arriving on the heath the troops were formed into line, the Royal Horse artillery on the right, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Bell, and two field batteries in the centre of the Foot Artillery; and the other two batteries on the extreme left, the batteries being under the command of Major James. Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman, C.B. and K.C.H., arrived on the ground at eleven o'clock, accom panied by his staff, amongst whom were Lieutenant- Colonel Jackson, Lieutenant-Colonel Breretou, C.B. and K.H., Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson, Brigade-Major Cuppage, Captain Tyiden, Deputy-Assistant Quarter- Master-General, and the Adjutants of battalions. Field-Marshal the Marquis of Anglesey, K.G., G.C.8., and G.C.H., Master- General of the Ordnance, accom panied by Lord Clarence Paget, and Captain Paget, Aide-de-Camp to the Field-Marshal, arrived on the heath at half-past eleven o'clock, and was received with a general salute, the bands of the Royal Horse Artillery, the Foot Artillery, and the field batteries all playing the National Anthem. The Master-General, accompanied by Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman and the staff, then proceeded along the front line of the troops, and up the rear, the Field-Marshal inspecting the men and their appointments. On the Marquis of An„lesey taking his station at the flag-staff, the troops marched past at slow and quick time, the field batteries at slow time and trot, and the Royal Horse Artillery at slow time, trot, and full gallop. Captain Teesdale's troop of Royal Horse Artillery has been supplied with Captain Grant's new, nine pounder guns, weighing only the same weight.as the for mer six-pounders, which is effected by giving less windage and a different proportion of metal in the various parts. These guns were drawn by six horses instead of four, the number of horses attached to the guns of the other troops, and the new arrangement had a fine appearance, and tho Field Marshal examined them very minutely previous to their leaving the heath. Amongst the officers present during the visit of the Master-General, were Major-General Sir Hew D. Ross, K.C.8., Deputy Adjutant-General ; Major-General Parker, C.B , Lieutenant-Governor of the Royal Mili tary Academy ; Colonel Campbell, of the Royal Mili tary Repository Department; and Lieutenant-Colonel Hardinge, K.H., of the Laboratory Department. Dr. Ogilvie, from the Ordnance Hospital, attended officially. At the conclusion of the inspection, the troops march ed back to the garrison, the bands enlivening the march by playing favourite airs. The men looked remarkably well, and it was a subject of surprise to many t. witness the excellent marching of 6the rearuits who were present without arms. There were upwards of 2,000 troops on the ground, and they had a very imposing appearance. ARRIVAL OF EXPELLED ENGLISH OPERATIVES FROM FRANCE —Yesterday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, considerable interest was excited in the vicinity of London•bridge•wharf, by the arrival of a large number of English operatives who had been ex pelled from France. They came by the General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Menai, from Calais, and many of them seemed in a deplorable state of desti tution. Some were stated to have been employed at the great lace and bobbing factory at Calais, which has been recently stopped. Many of the poor fellows had large families with them, and as they were wandering about Thames-street, in :icarch of a reasonable place to get sheltered, their condition excited much commiseration. A large number appealed to the police, and the party was conducted to the station house, in order that relief might be afforded them in accordance with the regal tions issued by the Lord Mayor on the subject. The Menai also brought brought over a number apparently of the middling classes. Ilor DUTY.—From a return just printed it appears that the Worcester old duty for 1847 was 1,471/.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that It may ho really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and tts true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could line traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused .the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional sad vital powers. The particular excesses. on she nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the kuman frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate aid complete account •f the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions is health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation •f the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy victita of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired ha early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread 80 frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In riethig thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination' n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physielan, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that ho is entitled to esteem and respect in his prefes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

CROWN SlDE.—(l3?fore Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) Reginald Bristow, 24, labourer, and Altlow Bristow, 27, labourer, brothers, were indicted for feloniously cut ting and wounding George Target, a gamekeeper, with intent to murder him, the former being charged as principal, and the other as an accessory, in being felo niously present, aiding and assisting in the commission of thC felony. There were four other counts in the indictment, charg ing the intention of the prisoners to be to do grievous bodily harm, and the two last charging them with re sisting their lawful apprehension and detainer. Mr. Wolfinger prosecuted. Mr. Charuock defended Reginald, and Mr. Locke the prisoner Arthur. The Counsel for the prosecution having briefly stated the case for the prosecution, the following evidence was adduced : - George Target deposed that he was a gamekeeper to a gentleman named Frogley, who lived at East Horsley, and who had the right of shooting over a good deal of land in the neighbourhood. On the night of the I Ith September, upon going his rounds, he found three dead hares snared in a coppice, called Henley coppice, in West Horsley parish. In consequence of this discovery, he and an under-keeper named Martin, " laid up" during the night to see if any one came to take the hares away. About six o'clock in the morning the two prisoners came into the coppice, and went towards the spot where the snares were, but they suddenly stopped, and appeared to whisper, and then ran off. He and his companion pursued them into a turnip field at some distance, and when they had nearly got up to them the prisoners turned round and faced them. Both the prisoners had large knives in their hands, such as aro used for killing pigs, and when ha went towards Reginald he ordered him to stand back, or 'else he said he would dig the knife into him. Witness told him to put the knife down, and he had better not use .it„and after scuffling, about him .for.a short time he laid hold of Reginald's . shoulder, and the moment he did so he *Stabbed him in the side. He kept his hold Of the prisoner, and they h 're and tlia prieltaler thett stabbed" bite in a wrist:: - Ale wise - titintztiptitirditiheeit, - , and the blood was running from; him like a stuck pig, and finding he was too weak to continue the conteat,'he called 'e t, "I am done—l give it l up." Before this he had called . out, " Murder," and when be did so, Reginald Brigsw. told' him if he was not. quiet :he would stick the knife into him again. During his struggle with this prisoner, he could see that Martin 'was 'also " tussling" with Arthur, but after the last •stab be fell to the grOund quite insensible, and had no consciousness of anything, until the cart was-brought to fetch him away... • Cross-examined—Saw the ,piisonera "Gtilldford: gaol six weeks' after the transaction , and identified l them immediately. There was is 'public .footpath , near : the coppice where he found the hares. snared. The .ftrmers were not allowed to set snares for - 'rabbits in this cop pice. Theprisoners had retreated' a qciaite t r of a mile when the affray took place. Mr. Frogley 'had' the right of shooting in the turmp•fiald, but the land - itself was the property, of . gentleman named Carrie.e was sure that he was not lying upon Reginald's body ß when he was stabbed, but one stab might have been given him to compel him to loose his hold of him. t, Witness had a stick with. him, and Martin a life preseryei; but they did not make use of them. He had • been a witness against persons for poaching, and when they were con victed he got half the penalty, and his master also gave him half a sovereign to pay expenses. , If a man was taken for night poaching he got a sovereign, and for day poaching he only had half that amount; and if two men were taken there was double pay. • Mr. CHARNOCK—I suppOse you think it a good deal better to catch a man then than, a hare: or peasant? Witness:--I have nothing to do with catching them. By Mr.' LOCKZ—The penalty for, day-poaching was 405., and when the.fine was paid he had' half the penalty. The most motley he ever got for 'taking man for poaching in the day time was nearly . apound. This was in addition to the 10s. his master gave him. - He could riot say exactly how often ho had got this money besides his regular wages, which' Were, a pound toveek. His master was a doctor, but .he ,did not' know that he went by the name of the Sporting Doctor.—(A laugh.) Re had th.'right of shooting ever all the land in ques tion; and•tite Henley-coppice' wits is regular hare pre serve.- Mr: Frogley at this time employed three keepers. Mr. LocaE---41ave there not been frequent complaints by the farmers of the injury done them by the game? Mr. Jastice POLICUIDGE here interposed, and said, in his opinion thin had ;nothing to do with the qiiestion before them. • • Mr. Loctiz then asked the witness what instructions he received, from . `hie master . with regard to the appre hension of -persons 'supposed to be poachers ? The witness Said his instructions were to look after the game and protect it as much ashe could. Mr. L6ciin-- , Are not your instructions to lay hold of any one, who you may suppose to be a poacher, at once, rand without endeavouring -to ascertain who they are, `in order - et - OE the Drrinef local steps might . be taken against them ? Witness—l had no such order. _ James Marlin, the assistant to the last witness, con firmed his testimony. It appeared that he attempted to apprehend the prisoner Arthur, and in so doing also received injury. He heard Target call out, " Murder !" and as soon as he was able, he went to him and found him lying upon the ground insensible, and covered with blood, and apparently dead. Cross examined—He was not aware that there was any regular allowance of money for taking these men, but he knew that his master gave half a sovereign when a poacher was apprehended. and for a night poacher two pounds were given besides, and one pound for a day poacher. Hollington, the inspector of the Guildford police, proved that he apprehended the prisoners at Woolwich, on the 11th of October, and on searching Reginald, he found in his pocket a number of wire snares, a copper cap, and sonic gunpowder, he had likewise 103. in money, and a sermon. Upon the prisoner Arthur's person he found a small amount of copper money arid some phea sant snares. Both prisoners asked him to do away with the wires; and, on his telling them that they were charged with stabbing two gamekeepers, Arthur replied, very well, and made no further remark. Cross-examined—The morning after the affray hap pened, hand-bills wore posted up, offering a reward of 1001. for the detection of the offenders. 50/. were to be paid by Mr. Currie, and 50/. by Mr. Frogley. Mr. Frogley, the prosecutor, deposed that he was a surgeon at Hounslow, and also had a residence at East Horsley, near Guildford. The prosecutor and Martin were employed by him as gamekeepers. He preserved the game strictly in Henley-coppice. On the morning in question he received information of what had oc curred very shortly afterwards, and at once proceeded to the turnip field, where he found Target supported by some labourers, and at first he thought he was dead. The witness then described the injuries he had received, and said that the stab upon his left side must have occa sioned immediate death, if it had not been stopped by one of the ribs; and he added, that he probed the wound to the length of his finger, and the instrument which inflicted it appeared to have passed into the cavity of the chest. Immediately after the occurrence he ob tained a search warrant and proceeded to a house at Shore, which was pointed out to him as the prisoner's residence, and he there found a number of snares, which were put in an artificially-constructed place of conceal ment, that was accidentally discovered; and also four large knives, such as are used for killing pigs. The prosecutor was recalled, and he said that the knives so found were similar to those he saw in the pos. session of the prisoners on the morning the attack was made on him, but he would not speak positively to their being the same. Mr. CEIARNOCK then addressed the jury for Reginald, and he commenced by observing, that upon the first count of the indictment, the prisoners were charged with a capital offence, and then their lives might be forfeited if an adverse verdict was returned against them, After some general observations, he went on to contend that the whole affair had originated in the illegal conduct of the keepers. There was no evidence that the prisoners had anything to do with the snares in which the hares were caught; and ho said that, even supposing they had, the law gave no right to the gamekeepers to seise them in the way they did; and ho submitted that it was quite clear that the system of paying them the blood-money, as he should term it, had been thei inducement ...to them to act in this illegal manner, which occasioned all the mischief. It was proved that the prisoners had re treated. They were anxious to get away, ii.ut they were Ipursued, and, as he submitted, an illegal attack was !made upon them, which they had a right to resist. They were no doubt stimulated by the prospect of the reward they would receive upon the apprehension, and in his opinion, the system of giving such rewards was most improper and ought to be discontinued. It ap peared to be admitted that the keepers were not justi fied in apprehending the prisoners, but it was said that they had used an excess of violence in resisting, but he asked the jury what they could expect from men in the prisoner's position, and whether it was possible to sup pose, when they found themselves treated in this manner, after having done all in their power to avoid a conflict, that they could measure with any nicety the degree of resistance they were to offer. This was another in stance, he said, of the baneful effects of the game-laws ; and he concluded his address by expressing his opinion that it was high time that some alteration should be made in a system which W 3.3 proi'ed to be so productive of crime. Mr. LOCKE next addressed the jury for the other pri soner, adopting the same line of argument as Mr. Charnock, and urging that the gamekeepers had brought all the mishaps upon themselves, by their own illegal conduct. He referred to the statute of William IV., known as the Game Act, and sail, that the proper course for the keepers to have pursued was to have de manded the name and address of the parties, and it was only upon their refusing to give these particulars, that they were empowered to arrest them. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said the Learned Counsel need not answer the counts charging the prisoners with resisting their lawful apprehension and detainer, as he was of opinion they could not be supported. Mr. LOCKE said he was thankful to his Lordship for this intimation, for it appeared to him that these were the only counts that affected the prisoners ; for, accord ing to the evidence, their only object was to get away, and they would have succeeded, if they had not been so improperly interfered with by the keepers. 'llO Learned Counsel then proceeded to comment upon the evidence, and concluded by expressing an opinion that, at most, the prisoners had committed no greater offence than an assault. The Learned JUDGE, in summing up, said it was the Custom for the Counsel of a prisoner, in cases of this description, to endeavour to prejudice the minds of the jury, by egmmenting upon the supposedirjustiee of the game laws. So far as he (the Learned Judge) was concerned, if he had a million of acres of land, he should not think of preserving a single head of game; but if gentlemen, desired to do so, they did it under the protection of the law; and while the law was in existence they were entitled to the protection it afforded them. The jury, after a short deliberation, found the pri soners Guilty upon the count of the indictment charging their intent to do grievous bodily harm. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE sentenced them to be trans ported for fifteen years. - CIVIL SIDE. _ . The business on this side has been singularly unin teresting. The Lord Chief Justice yesterday disposed of three special jury causes, one of which was referred, and the remaining two did not possess any matter of interest to the public. It is expected Mr. Justice Coleridge will dispose of the criminal business early to day (Friday), and he will then take common jury cases from the list of the other Court.

Mary Howells, 32, and James Price, 26,.were indicted for the wilful murder of William Howells, at Llanellan, on the 10th of November. The appearance of neither of the prisoners betokened any ferocity of character. Mr. Greaves, with Sir Thomas Phillips prosecuted; and Messrs. W. H. Cooke and J. W. Huhleston seve rally appeared for the prisoners. .The facts of the case, as proved by the numerous wit *asses, may be thus condensed. The deceased was a =ll farmer, and had been married to the female pri vaners.-Wbct was previously his servant, about eight years. He appeared'to have been of a jealous disposition, and was twenty-two Yeardth'e senior of his wife; but during the last two years they seemed to have lived more hap pily together than they had done previously. The only other two persons in the house were the prisoner Price, who was the deceased's farming . servant, and Jane Morgan, the servant girl. On the day_ in question, the deceased partook of tea at four o'clock, and Mrs. How ells gave Jane Morgan' some, apples, with which she made dumplings:Or stipp!r,. Of which the family par took. Some milk and . water also formed the meal of the deceased, but none of the others drank any of it. The female priSoner give her husband one of the apple - dumplings, into the -interior of which she put some sugar and milk. • She also prepared the milk and water which he drank,' and it was assumed by the prosecution that she put the arsenic which was after wards found in the deceased's stomach, either into the dumpling or the milk and water immediately before she gave him the food. He also ate a'raw apple before going to bed. This was about eight o'clock in the evening, and two hours afterwards he was taken ill, complained of cramp in the limbs, and pain in the stomach, which was accompanied by violent vomiting and purging, which continued at intervals until about eleven the fol lowing night, when he died. The male prisoner called on the Reverend Mr. Jones the clergyman of Llanellan, and told him the deceased was very ill. That was in the morning of the 10th of November, on the night of which day the death took place. Mr. Jones directed him to tell Mrs. Howells to send for a doctor, or her husband would be a dead man, but no notice was taken of the;Re verend Gentleman's injunction; and no medical aid called in. Mrs. Howells accounted for, this, by saying that her husband positively refused to have a surgeon, and never liked the expense of one, as he was of rather a niggardly disposition ; to the relatives of deceased she accounted for the ommission by saying she had no time. The de ceased 'enly partook of one cup of tea during the time he was ill, and that was given him by his wife. He was buried on the 13th, three days after his death, without a certificate, but it appeared James Powell, the coffin maker, went to the Coroner with the knowledge and consent of the female prisoner, although that gentleman did not then think proper to hold an inquest. It was rumoured :about that there was an improper intimacy between the two prisoners, which had existed prior to the death of Mr. Howells, and the morning after the funeral they went away :together, and remained out for two or three days or nights. The day after the death the two women and Price all removed into one sleeping room, assigning as a reason that they did not like to stay in the room where any one hail died, Jane Morgan heard Mrs. Rowels, while in bed, call out to Price, "Jim, come and warm my back," on which the male prisoner went to her. These and other circumstances being rumoured about, with additions and enlarginents, at length led to the belief that some toul play had been used in cc:tuning the death of the deceased, and on a , 7 th vt January the body was exhumed, and an inquest com menced before Mr. Hughes, the c•Jroner, which con tinued by adjournments on the 14th, 21,t, and '22d of that month, when it terminattal in a verdict of wilful murder against the prisoners, and their committal for trial on that serious charge. A post mortem examination was made of the body by Mr. Steal, a surgeon, Mill the content., of the stomach analysed and tested by Mr. llerapath, the eminent analytical chemist, of Bristol, when it was found that death resulted from extreme in testinal inflammation, which was caused by a quantity of arsenic four iin the stomach of the deceased. It was proved that in the latter end of October, Mrs. Howells purchased a pennyworth of arsenic, half an ounce, of Mr. Evans, a druggist in Abergavenny, who knew her well as a customer of seven years' standing. The chief evidence against the pi isoncrs w as a number of suspicious expressions used by them at various times, both before and after the deceased's death, And an attempt on the part of Price to fix suspicion on Jane Morgan, one of the house servants, by pretending to discover arsenic concealed among her clothes. Mr. CooKE and Mr. HUDDLESTONE having ably ad dressed the jury for the prisoners severally, the Court, at ten o'clock, adjourned until nine on March 29. Mr. Justice PATTESON;IIMI3ed up the whole case his morning with groat care, and the jury retired from .he box to consider their verdict. . At twelve o'clock, the jury returned into Court with a verdict of Not Guilty, on hearing which some persons in the gallery began to cheer, an ebullition which was directly checked by the officers. Mr. Sergeant Allen and Mr. Godson, Q.C., having alternatively held criminal courts, in order to deliver the gaol, the business of these assizes was brought to a ter mination at five o'clock to-day. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, March 29. This morning application was made to postpone the trial of certain prisoners, on the ground that a material witness, a policeman of Bolton, could not conveniently attend, as the sessions were to commence there to morrow. It was stated that the Recorder of Belton and Manchester had before held his sessions in the assize we( k. Mr. Baron ALDERSoN said it used to be considered illegal to hold sessions during the assizes for the county, and he very much inclined to that opinion. It was at least a very irregular, and very improper thing to hold sessions during the time that the Queen's Judges were making a general gaol delivery in the county, and he had very serious doubts whether prisoners convicted at a sessions so held were legally convicted. He had known instances, at Stafford and elsewhere, when the prisoners committed for the sessions were sent for by the Judge of Assize to be tried before him. And he had also known instances of sessions being stopped on the arrival of the Judges of Assize in the county. lie repeated that the course pursued by the Recorder of Bolton was ♦ery irregular indeed, and ho hoped that a stop would be put to it. It was a great inconvenience to the public and the bar. Henry Abraham was indicted for a burglary at Wigan. The prosecutor was a small confectioner, and the things stolen had been taken from the window by breaking it in the night, and consisted of confectionary, in glasses, of little value, and the case had no interest except that it elicited from the Learned Judge a very important opinion on the subject of possession of stolen property. Four out of five glasses stolen, bad been found in the prisoner's house, and he had then stated that on going to the well for water one morning, he found them by the side of the well, and had taken them home, nobody living with him but his wife and two in fant children. Mr. J. PoLLocx, in addressing the jury for the priso ner, had expatiated on the probability of the prisoner's account, and his not being able to prove it, as his wife could not be a witness. Mr. Baron ALDERSON, in summing up, put it to the jury as not a reasonable account, and asked them if they did not think that, if it had been true, he would have told some of his neighbours of his having found the glasses, and called them to prove that he had made such a statement. Mr. PoLLocx submitted that had the prisoner done so, the statement would not be evidence for the prisoner. Mr. Baron ALDERSoN said he had not the least doubt that, if a person who found property which had been stolen, and before any suspicion attached to him on Re count of his possession of it, made a statement of the way in which he had become possessed of it, such state ment was receivable in evidence on his behalf. Mr. POLLOCK said lie had always understood the law to be otherwise, and assured his Lordship that in that very court he had been prevented from giving such statements in evidence for a prisoner. His LoRDSHIP over and over again repeated that he had no doubt such statements were receivable; and he should himself always receive them, until he was pre- L I vented by competent authority. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.) THE NUISANCE IN HATFIELD STREET.—Yesterday, John Gore, the dust contractor for the district of St. Luke's, Old-street, who, it will be remembered, was convicted at this court a few sessions back upon an in dictment charging him with maintaining a nuisance in Hatfield street, came up this morning in discharge of his recognizances, to receive the judgment of th ,, Court. Mr. BALLANTINE, on the part of the defendant, ap plied fora further postponement of judgment, on the
