EXHIBITION OF THE NEW SO CIETY OF PAINTERS IN WATER COLOURS. On Saturday afternoon the annual and fourteenth exhibition of the New Society of Painters in Water Colours was opened for private inspection. With out any question or reservation of opinion what ever, the collection for 1846 is the most excellent within our remembrance of this Association.. For fulness and accuracy of drawing, for richness and suavity of colouring, for poetry of conception, for ingenuity of design, several of the productions are almost beyond praise, and are certainly superior to any water-colour paintings we ourselves have seen during the past twelve months. Not that we are by any means disposed to lavish this eulogium indiscri minately upon the whole abundance and variety of the exhibition. No. 253. " The Two Marys at the Sepulchre," by Henry Riviere, for example, is at once meritorious for the luscious depth of the hues, and execrable for the awkwardness of the grouping. 194. " Returning from the Beach," byl. H. Mole, is almost worthy of George Cattermole, for the per spective over a level scene, as well as for the do mestic meaning imparted to the rustic figures in the foreground. 127. " Sebastian Gomez, commonly called El Mulato de Murillo, discovered by his Master at Work," by E. H. Wehnert, is one of those bold and capacious masterpieces which render the very name of Wehnert attractive. Who does not remember the story of Gomez, the mulatto-slave of Murillo—that story which Georgio Vasari could tell with a zest —of the helot being surprised one morning at his artistic studies by the great Spanish maestro P The daring and successful delineation of this anecdote by Wehnert, will remind those of the incident from whose memory it might have escaped. The painting is harmonious in every respect, and tells the tale of the biographer in an instant. 143. " Julian taking his Leave of the Hostess of the Cat and Fiddle," by Edward H. Corbould.—Can any one forget who has ever read " Peveril of the Peak"—and who has not ?—that sly whisper of Dame Whitecraft's in the ear of Peveril " Beware of tre pans ?" Here is the whisper—visible ! Peveril him self is looking down from his elevation on the fore shortened horse, with a sort of roguish admiration at the face of the saucy witch—the hostess. There is admirable skill in the anatomic difficulties of the horse, or rather of its posture. 110. " The Rape of the Lock," by Charles Wei gall. One of the most felicitous pieces in the gal lery. The gallant, with the Sabine curl in one hand, and the scissors in the: other, is an idea f rom Hogarth, full of impudence, fun, and breathlessness. Here, however, are the two gems - of the exhibition ; they are a match in size, in conception, and in their consummate expression of grace and delicacy, but they are at opposite extremities of the catalogue. No. 11. " The Lily of the Valley," and No. 342, " The Water Lily," by E. H. Corbould. These are literally and absolutely exquisite. When we looked at " The Lily of the Valley," the naturalness of the surrounding scenery, the: lithesomeness of the young: girl's figure, untrammelled by the whalebone broidery of fashion, beautiful in the lip, the eye, the very parting of the hair, bending too with such sylvan coquetry on one side—we gave it the preference. When, on the other hand, we turned to " The Water Lily," and be held that incarnation of loveliness, naked to the waist, pedestalled by such inimitable waves of drapery, suffused with such a golden glow of chastity, re minding us of that episode in Thomson's " Summer" of the virgin bathing— " In youth wild throbbing on thy lawless gaze," &C. when we looked upon all this, and remembered all this, we felt that the brush of the true Artist is almost as magical as the wand of the Poet. Edward Cor bould has evinced great genius in these two exquisite pictures. We shall resume this notice at an early opportunity. ----- WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP. We regret to announce the probable loss of the Eng lish emigrant ship Omega, 1,277 tons burden, belonging to Stromness, Mr. David Carrick, commander, which sailed from Liverpool on the 16th of January last, with 313 emigrants for New York; and also that of the Bar bara, of Nova Scotia. The subjoined details have been received at Lloyd's:— The Omega, besides 313 emigrants on board, had a crew of about 30 hands. During the first two weeks of her ♦oyage the weather was extremely fine, On the 4th of February she encountered the first of a succes sion of heavy gales, in which she lost her spars and sails, and eventually her rudder. The vessel became unmanageable, and for a week drifted at the mercy of the waves. On the 17th of February she was fallen in with by'the barque Aurora, from Wales, bound to St. John's, New Brunswick, in ballast. It was decided that the passengers and crew of the Omega should be put on board of the barque; about 130 of the passengers got on board, but the weather became tem pestuous, and one of the boats of the Omega, containing the second mate and four of the crew, was swamped, and all in her perished. For several days more the Omega continued to be driven about, when she was fallen in with by the brig Barbara, of Nova Scotia, on her passage to Cork from New York, with a cargo of Indian corn. The master instantly offered all assistance in his power, and, to render that assistance most effective, he caused part of his cargo to be thrown overboard to make room for the emigrants, of whom 150 were got on board, together with two casks of water. This had hardly been accomplished when a gale. spang up, and the Barbara, for her own safety, was obliged to leave the Omega, with the master, mate, eight seamen, and twenty-fire passengers still on board. The Barbara was soon lost sight of. Two days afterwards a third vessel bore down to her assistance, namely, the British barque Higbland Mary, from Liverpool. With consider able difficulty the remainder of the emigrants, with Mr. Carrick:, the commander, anti' his crew, were rescued from the ill-fated vessel. She was then in lon. 52. 24., and little doubt is entertained of her having afterwards foundered. The moat distressing event, however, is yet to be detailed. When the vessel Barbara met with the Omega, the former had but a few days' supply of water ; and as they succeeded in getting only two casks from the wreck, her crew caused thee large addition to the number of to be immediately want of this most necessary article wearnd severely felt—so much so, indeed, that many compelled to eat ice and drink salt water. At this criticalsight, period a homeward-bound steamer hove in made. The steamer bore down signals of distress were of the Barbara, when the own to within 10 or 15 yards quainted the steamer that ther master of the latter vessel ac dying for want of water. The:ere /30:persons on board was, " There is land —go the:PlY from the steamer wind was blowing off the land e and get it." The that it was impossible to retake its.o strongly at the time the srsall harbour of Rencios She then bore for ; but in the night, in wearing ships, she lost t the course of weather somewhat moderating, she suwcoc boats. On the the harbour; and the captain, seeing several boats in gaining requested them to obtain the assistance of some pilots, order to place the vessel in se.fe anchorage. eThe °"3"n boats w ent ashore, and on their return announced the refusal of the pilots to come off. The captain then attempted a course for St. John's, and in doing so it i s sup posed mistook Heart' s Point (near Pett y Harbour) for Cape Spear, where they became becalmed, and were carried by the current ashore. Twenty of the pas sengers contrived to gain the cliffs by crawling along the bowsprit. The tide and the wind carried the vessel further up the coast, she struck heavily on the hedge of a rock, and stove her bottom in. Thirty more passen gers managed to reach the rocks in safety, but imme diately afterwards the vessel fell over on her side, went down, and carried with her 113 men, women, and chil dren, all of w hom met with a watery grave. Many of those who succeeded in gaining the shore before the Teasel struck perished in the course of the following night from exhaustion and exposure to intense frost. About 70 bodies had been found up to the time of this information being dispatched. Resvecling the Aurora, which took off from the wreck she arrived ship 130 of its passengers, we learn that Upwards of ul 7t_ lislifax a b out the 29th of February. the dreadf peit t h e emigrants had, however, died fro m dered impossible f or ' ()08 they endured, and it was consi• Most of the several others to survive. perished were fro un happy . creatures who have thus survivors cannot l i t the stdiand c . - ties A list of the The Omeg a , p r „° bt ailled for r il • underwent thorou I rma t e i i , r de _ a ome time. emigration agent: j ex am i natio LTre from Liverpool, the extent of 20,00 0 / . t is stated that" the Government she is insured to WAKEFIELD CORN' ARXE an improved d eman d for wheat t h is d PR/Djy...._we have titles of which h ave i n some instanc a ithe better qua _ advance of ls. p er quarter over la4t een sold at an e Ys Spring corn of all sort s remains unaltet!edin ee v k l e P, with rics, but a few sales made i n any kind of it.

H ume , M.P., shows that the regular army of all ranks in the United Kingdom on the Ist of January last con sisted of 66,417 men, of whom 35,421 were stationed in England, and 30,996 in Ireland. The grand total (in cluding the Colonial forces) amounted to 123,99 2 rank and file. The number of recruits last year amounted to 18,632 against 23,878 in 1846.

' • LIFE IN THE GLASGOW SEWERS. • Some weeks since, says the Glasgow Herald, the Po lice and Statute Labour Committee of the city, follow ing the eicareple of the London Sanitary Commission, •directed 'that all the common sewers should be cleaned, and, in accordance with this instruction, a number of the unemployed, who are on the relief fund, were set to per form the work. Matters went on in ordinary course for a time; but, a few days ago, the men engaged in • the work were surprised and alarmed at observing under ground light flickering and dancing in the distance.. The foreman, however, put confidence in the labourers, by expressing his suspicion that the light's proCeeded not from ghostly, but from human spirits, who were searching for valuables in the sewers. And such turned out io be the fact. These . mud larks, we learn, are mostly young sweeps, and other characters of the class which may often be seen -congregated .at a certain locality near the Goosedubs, known as the "Lazy Corner." Armed with a shovel or rake, a riddle or sieve, and a collier's lamp, they are in the 'habit of entering the sewers at various points opening to the Clyde, as well as at the Molindinar-burn, and thus they find their way over the city, searching ardently under ground, while a torrent of waggons, cabs, and pedestrians are rolling over their heads. The trade, on, the whole f " is a profitable one, as there 'is much to be' picked up, from a single copper to a sil ver spoon, for we are informed that not a few of the latter find their way into common sewers from careless servants and imperfect " sinks.'" There are favourite spots to which these people resort, however, such as those at which fleshers' and greengrocers' stalls arc placed, or the localities to which egg and fish wives resort, for carrying on a retail trade ; and here the • mudlarks expect and are seldom disappointed in picking up stray silver and coppers, especially after, the Saturday night's marketing. The sewers iu Bridgegate-street, King : street, Candleriegs-street, High-street, and Gal lowgate-street, with the Molindinar-burn, are said to be the most productive " walks;" although those localities do not pertain to the wealthiest part of the city. One of the-" larks" admitted that he once picked up as much as 18s. in the Goosedubs sewer, but on coming to the level or daylight, he found to his bitter disappointment that the most of it was bad money. The Calton-mouth, and corner of Campbell-street, Gal low-gate, are also said occasionally to afford rich waifs. One day last week two pistols which had been stolen from a,gun-shop during the late riots, were found in the Molindinarburn sewer ;:and from the same place was re covered a large quantity of valuable finished brass work, which had been stolen several weeks since. This proves one thingat least,—that the police are not to blame for the non recovery of all-the property which is stolen or lost. In addition to the mud.larks, there is one courageous old fellow who has spent the most of his time during twenty-five years under ground, in removing obstruc tions from the drains and sewers. He is an old Water ogroenising p man,regularlyparondr i a e s .tp grubbing a John in the mire is beneath his status, b w i th ad ttobrrn escape,t rents of rain For washis workn can t by the of m policeany a h a o ra i ad - Joining r insta o n n c o e n , e a o h e r a y sl y on tb r u a n g d in e g rstorm, over head; but h e had no notion or intimation of it, by rieuarsfoacnet,haantdttrethrwroatings were .closed up by hay, straw, Or other debris, which the street flood rolled over their in driblets.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BE.NCII, April 15, (Sittings in Banco.) This was the first day of Easter Term, but the usual breakfast with the Lord Chancellor not having taken place, the Judges, Lord Denman, Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Justice Wightman, and Mr. Justice Erie took their seats at ten o'clock. BLINN v. LIND. - This was the well-known action against Jenny Lind, in which the jury awarded to the plaintiff, 2,5001. as damages. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was instructed to apply to the Court for a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict so given for the plaintiff should not be set aside and a new trial had, on the ground that the damages which had been awarded to the plaintiff were excessive. A bill of exceptions had been tendered at the trial as to certain points to which he should not now further allude, but he , should confine himself to the question of the damages, to show that they were ex cessive. 2SI. would defray the expenses of the journey from Berlin and back, and this being added to the amount of the cost to Mr. Fitzball, of translating and era, would only be ISO/. As to the print ingtheot other the portion p of the damages, therefore, that could only be taken upon a calculation of what the plain tiff might have received, had the defendant performed her engagement with him. In order to induce the jury to give heavy damages, it had been contended that the manager of Drury-lane Theatre had cleared by an en gagement with Malibran some years since between 4,0001. and 5,0001., although she had _been engaged for 35 nights at 1501. per night. The engagement with Jenny Lind had been to sing for 20 nights, for doing which she was to receive 50 Louis-d'ors a night. It was evident that the jury had been led away by this mode of treating the subject; but the state of things, as regarded these two parties, was very different; because Madame Malibran could speak and sing English, whereas Jenny Lind had declared her inability to learn the language; and there was a very inferior company to perform with her; besides, Jenny Lind's success in this country had not then been tried, but Malibran was at that time the greatest favourite of the day, Lord DENMAN did not think the Court could interfere with the verdict. The jury co uld only 'speculate upon the evidence adduced before them, and the Court thought their conclusion correct.--Rule discharged. SHAW v. THE YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY CO3IPANY. The plaintiff brought this action to recover damages for the loss of a horse which had died in consequence of injuries it had received when in the course of transit on this railway. The horse had been put with two others into a carriage containing three compartments. One of the doors of the compartment, not having been securely fastened, kept striking against the horse all the way on the journey, and the animal became so much injured, as well as frightened, that it died. The defence was, that,when horses were brought for conveyance by railway, the party received a ticket, stating " that the owner was to undertake all the risks of conveyance, as the company would not be answerable for any injury or damage, however occasioned." The cause was tried before Mr. Baron Alderson, who considered that the common law liability of carriers still continued, notwithstanding this ticket. A verdict was, therefore, given for the plaintiff.' Mr. KNOWLES moved for a rule to set aside this ver dict, and enter it for the defendant, 'on the ground that the notice in the ticket had taken away the common law liability. Rule granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A young fellow, named Alfred Bainbridge, was brought before Alderman Gibbs, charged with having stolen boots by a very ingenious and apparently simple stratagem, by the frequent repetitions of which he has been, it is believed, for a considerable time carrying on the game of life in an easy and unpretending manner. Some days ago Mr. Hand, bootmaker, 82, Ch ea p s id e, stated to the Lord Mayor that a thief was goi ng a b out the City, whose practice it was to call at g en tl emen ' s counting-houses, and when the principal was out, to tell the clerk or servant that he called for a pair or two of boots, which were to be stretched by bis master, at the desire of the customer, who had just called. In almost all instances the servant selected the very best boots as the most likely to want stretching, and, as a matter of course, they were soon fitted to other legs. This trick having been exposed in the newspapers, several boot makers called at the Mansion-house s and stated that numbers of their customers had been robbed in the way described, and there was a sharp,look-out kept for so, unprofitable a customer. Three cases'were gone - into against him, and at the request of several bootmakers who attended he was remanded, to' afford time for other cases to be brought forward. - BOW-STREET. A cleilr; named Charles Blake, was charged before Mr. Henry with having threatened to horsewhip Mr. H. St. John Mildway, his late employer. , The defendant, it appeared, having lately been dis charged from the service of the complainant, -from some. reason than did not transpire in court, assailed Mr., Mildmay in the public streets, in the most excited lan guage.

Captain Thomos Smyth, or, as he stYles . himself,'Tiger Smyth, of the HO. ,East India Company's service, was - brought up for final exatainatiOn, charged with having - obtained a 10/. note from M. Bishop, gunmaker, of BOnd-street, and from Messrs. Ricknell, Moore, and Co., army accoutrement-makers, Si., under fraudulent pre tences, The ptisoner, .who 'speaks with an Hibernian 'accent, was shabbily dressed, and this made his success in the victimising line, which was understood to be very great, the more remarkable. Mr. George Almond, of the firm of Bicknell, Moore, and Co., No. 1, Old Bond-street, said on the 7th of April he was in his counting-house, when the prisoner was introduced to him as a military gentleman just returned from India, who - could give some information respectirida party which the firm wanted to find out. The prisoner said directly, " Oh, yes, I know him well," .and then-he. pro ceeded to give hini some particulars which be asserted had reference to the party in question. The prisoner then, as if suddenly recollecting himself, said,," Oh, it's get ting late; oblige me by cashing my cheque, on the Oriental Bank." Witness was thrown off his guard by the pri soner's unembarrassed manner, and he consented to cash his cheque for Si. The prisoner said the goods.he, had purchased' in the shop might be deducted, but witness told him there was no necessity for that, when the goods were sent hoine that would be time enough for the bill. Prisoner then said, " Have the goodness to write a cheque for me on the Oriental Bank for Si,, and I'll sign it." Witness did so, and gave the prisoner five sovereigns. The cheque was presented the following day; but there were "no effects" at the bank belonging to the prisoner. The prisoner declined to make any defence, at the re commendation of his legal adviser, who presented a letter from some person in Boulogne, where the prisoner had been in confinement for debt, to the effect, as under stood, that the prisoner would shortly be in possession aolfl similar obligations.fundsfantl.hthat took place he would pay this and The prisoner was next charged with defrauding Mr, Bishop, of Bond-street. William Bishop, gunmaker, 170, New Bond-street, said on the sth of April the prisoner came into his shop in a haSty manner, and asked to look at some guns and rifles. WitnesS showed 'him several, and the prisoner selected some which he agreed to purchase.

He, however, caught hold of him, and prevented him from committing further violence, and on the• arrival of a police-constable he gave him into custody% Mr. COTTINGHAM esked him whether he knew the prisoner before ? Complainant replied, that he was an old customer, and when sober a very quiet and hu mane man. He also worked. very hard to support his wife and six children, consequently he hoped the Ma gistrate would not inflict any penalty on him, would be the sufferers. Mr. C as they OTTINGITAM told the prisoner that it was very humane on the part of the complainant, who narrowly escaped from being killed by his violence. Prisoner exclaimed that be was extremely sorry for what he had done. He did not intend to do any harm to Mr. Sedgwick. Mr. COTI'INCHAM said that it was of little. tve his being sorry for it. Had he killed the complainant, he would now stand charged with murder, and such an excuse would have no effect on a judge and jury. Had the blow been inflicted an inch lower death would have instantly ensued, when he would have suffered an igno minious death by the hands of the law. had it not been for the humane interference of the prosecutor, he should have inflicted a very heavy penalty on him, but under all the circumstances could not overlook the offence, but should order him to find bail for his future good condlict.' William Horton, Lock's-fields, Walworth, was brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with being concerned in breaking into the Five Bells public-house, Bermondsey square, and stealing therefrom three pairs of boots, a quantity of wine, brandy, and other property. Mr. Abrahams, the landlord of the public-house in s a b i r d o k t e h n a n o t n o h a e n d p nightproperty p o e f r the t3. s t l o tt , h n () o f f ' March e h r i question,houses was able value. The cupboards in the lower parts of the house were all forced open, and from one in the bar parlour was stolen three pairs of boots. He also lost a great quantity of bottled spirits and wine. Police-constable 249 M said that on the previous day he received information that a portion of the stolen pro perty was in the possession of the prisoner. He ac cordingly proceeded to his shop on the previous even ing, and asked the prisoner whether any person had left any boots with him. He replied that a pair of female's boots had been left there, but they did not fit his wife. Witness, while talking to him, perceived a pair of boots on his feet which answered the description of a pair stolen from the prosecutor's house. He ac cordingly asked where he got them? when he replied that he purchased them a month ago of a man at the door for two shillino-s.- • Feeling satisfied that they were the prosecutor's boots, he took them off his feet, and carried them to Mr. Abrahams, leaving a constable with the. prisoner. The boots were .identified, and prosecutor returned, when he commenced a search, and on exami nation he found two bottles of brandy with the same marks on as some stolen from the Five Bells, also seve ral bottles of wine. The prisoner said that he purchased them from a wine merchant in the City, but he could not point out the party. Mr. Abrahams said that the boots were his property, as well as the brandy, but as for the wine he could not swear to. Thee prisoner said that the police had dragged him from his home without any just cause. The boots had been left in his custody by a man who ran up a score to the amount of 2s. As for the brandy and wine they had been purchased in the regular way of business. Mr. COTTINGHAM said that stolen property was found in his possession, and the police were justified in taking him into custody. West, the police-constable, informed the magistrate that on the way to the station-house, the prisoner asked him to " draw it mild" at the police court. _ • Mr. COTTINGHAM remanded him until Wednesday next, and took bail for his appearance on that day. THAMES. Elizabeth Spencer and Eliza Rhummer, slop-makers, were brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with as saulting Phosbe Emma. Edwards, and robbing her of 12s. The prosecutrix, a young.married woman, stated that she lived at 8, Shorter-street, Wellclose-square. Ou the 15th of last month she went to the prisoner's house, in Royal ,Mint-street, to ask for some needle-work. The prisoners asked her to treat them with some liquor, and she did so, and they saw what money shelled in her possession. At their persuasion she stopped the night with them. On the following morning the prisoners left her in their bed-room, in which she had passed the night with a ferocious dog, which prevented her leaving her bed, or escaping from the room. She attempted several times to rise from the bed, but the dog as often prevented . her, and growled and barked at her, in such a manner that she was overwhelmed with terror. After remaining in this situation for about an hour, the prisoners returned, and she implored them to relieve her and call the dog away. Spencer called the dog out, and left Rhummer in the room. A few minutes afterwards Rhummer asked the prosecutrix why she was not asleep, and struck her a violent blow on the face, and threatened to be the death of her if. she did not lie down and go to sleep. The prisoner then seized her pocket, and said she would have her money. The pro secutrix attempted to take it from her, and a long and desperate struggle ensued between them, in the course of which they both fell on the floor. The prisoner then seized the prosecutrix by the neck, and after making an ineffectual attempt to choke her, knelt upon her breast, struck her head against the side of the bedstead, and stunned her. Whn she recovered her senses she found she was, bleeding profusely, and seriously injured about the head and face. Rhummer was gone, but Spencer was in the room standing over her, and bathing her face with vinegar; and as she did so, pretended great sym pathy, and exclaimed, "I am glad you are come to, I really thought you were killed; you had better make haste and go home." The prosecutrix searched for her pocket, and discovered that 12s. was missing from it. About five minutes before Rhummer came into the room the prosecutrix had counted her money, and there was then 13s. 2d in her pocket. Directly she dis covered her loss she told Spencer she was robbed, and asked for her money. Spencer laughed at her, and said, " Make haste and get away, or you will be surely killed." The prosecutrix refused to leave the house without her money, on which Spencer said, "Do you accuse me? You had better mind what you are about." The pro secutrix said, the woman who had ill-used her must have taken her money. Rhummer was immediately called into the room, and Spencer, who affected to be highly indignant, said, " You have robbed her." Rhum mer, on hearing this, appeared to be much enraged, and threatened to kill Mrs. Edwards if she made any more noise about ithe affair. After waiting some time longer without the restoration of her money, she left the hons,e and went home. On Thursday night Mrs. Edwards called upon a police-constable, and gave the prisoners into ens. tidy. On being made acquainted with the charge, Spencer said, "I am not guilty," and Rhummer ex claimed, "I say the same." In answer to questions by Mr. BALLANTINE, the witness said, the reason she had allowed the matter to rest so long was, that she had been very ill, and so very terrified at the prisoners' threats, that she was afraid to speak to the police on the subject before. Spencer was just 'outside the room, close to the door, while Rhummer was ill-using her. , The prisonera, who simply avowed their innocence of he serious offence laid to their charge, were committed to Newgate f'or trial.

PERUVIAN COPPER --The export of copper from Arica amounts annually to from 20,000 to 25,000 cwt. of ore, and 3,000 to 4,000 cwt. of smelted copper in pigs. This copper is brought chiefl from the province of Corocoro, i n Bolivia, where t he mines have been long worked, but did not yield largely until 1836, since when they have been worked on account of French houses. ._Copper is usually found in Peru in veins more or less rich; in Corocoro, however, it appears in the shape of beds, lying parallel to the strata of the earth, in which the metal is intermingled largely with challe, generally white, but sometimes red and green, a phenomena that is connected with the origin of the Cordilleras. It is to be observed that the copper is found only among the white challe, and is commonly found in a pure state, especially in the lower strata, of a dark red 'or clear brown, and frequently, when containing arsenic, of dirty white colour, itlmyst like silver. MURDER OF A • FEMALE AT WESTMINSTER. Considerable excitement was created throughout yes terday, in Westminster, in consequence of a report that a young female had been found murdered, at an early hour in the morning. within twenty yards of the spot where Mr. Bellchatnbers met his untimely end a few weeks ago. The following particulars of the transaction, gleaned from the most authentic sources, may be strictly relied on:— At about twenty minutes to one yesterday morning, Mr. Kean, an engineer, living in Page-street, Millbank, was on his way home, near Vincent-row, Regent. street, Westminster, when he heard a suppressed scream from a female, and immediately afterwards saw a man come from the spot from whence the cry had proceeded, with a large open clasp knife in his hand, and has:ily disappear. Mr. Kean immediately acquainted two shopkeepers in the neighbourhood, and while one party was engaged in • hastening to communicate the intelligence to the police, the others went to the spot to which Mr. Kean's at tention had been first attracted, and there found a youn g female in an apiiarently dying state. They lifted her up, assisted by a police•sergeant and con stable, who were promptly on the spot, and conveyed her to the residence of Mr. G. Pearse, surgeon, Regent street, Westminster, a few doors only from where she was found. Mr. Pearse, who had been hastily aroused while the ill-fated woman was being carried to his house, met her at the door, and immediately pronounced lite to be extinct. Those who had first assisted in raising the poor - woman from the ground were not for some two or three minutes aware of the cause of her apparently life less state, until in the act of lifting her up previous to conveying her to the medical gentleman's, they observed blood inside the bosom of her dress, and on an examination Mr. Pearse discovered a wound just above the left breast, three quarters of an inch in length, and two inches and a half deep. It may be as well here to observe that the unfortunate woman never spoke from the time she was first lying on the ground, but groaned slightly two or three times. Mr. Cummings, the inspector on duty at the Rochester-row station, who at once proceeded to the spot on hearing what had occurred, gave directions that the body of the lifeless woman should be conveyed to St. Margaret's workhouse, and having taken a description of the man who had been seen coming from the direction of the woman with the knife in his hand, and who had been ob served about five minutes before the tragical occurrence talking to her, close on the spot where she was after wards found by Scats, 157 B,.was preparing to dispatch it to the various police-stations. In consequence of some observation that fell from one of the constables, with respect to the woman, Mr. Cumming, who had expressed his opinion that he had recently seen the woman somewhere before the tragical occurrence, at once remembered that she was charged in com pany with a man, about a fortnight ago, with so me trivial offence, and on referring to the books, found that he was correct. He then took down the address of the man then charged with her, and was proceeding towards the place with a constable, in order to ascertain whether he was the perpetrator of the outrage, when he met the man, William Tomkins, a man in the employment of Mr. Thorne, the extensive Westminster brewer, in the custody of polioe sergeant Abraham Wright. The latter in company with a constable, also named Wright, both being on duty in the immediate neighbourhood, had from some information or conjecture on their part that Tomkins was the culprit, proceeded to his residence at 7, Vincent-row, close on the spot where the murder was committed, and taken him into custody on suspicion.. On meeting with Mr. Cumming. the prisoner exclaimed, 'Oh, sir, I have done it now." On searching him a very formidable clasp knife, stained with blood, was Lund in his pocket, and there were also marks of blood upon his left hand. It having been ascer tained by the police, - to whom, throughout this transaction the greatest credit is due for their intelligence and alacrity, that the name of the murdered female was Maria Eden, and Mr. Kean having identified the accused as the person he saw leaving the spot where the woman WAS found, with a clasp-knife exactly corresponding with the one found upon the pri soner, the charge was entered against him upon the police-sheet, and on being read over to him, the prisoner who appeared in a very low dejected state,. did not offer a word in reply, and was immediately conveyed, where. he was closely watched, the inspector being apprehensive. from his desponding condition; that he might attempt to destroy himself. It may be necessary to remark, that . the prisoner was also recognised by Scate as the persqn' he saw talking to the female a few minutes before the. fatal transaction. The age of the murdered female: is about twenty years. She had formerly lived- in service, in Holywell-street, Millbank, but has of late been resid ing in lodgings in Cooper-street, Deere street, West-- minster. She was a good-looking girl, The accused is a short thick set man, twenty-five years of age, and his family, who are industrious • hard-working people, have been for many years resident in the neighbour hood. He was in a very low desponding state through : : out the whole of y es t er d ay , an d could scarcely be * pre vailed upon to take any food. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. DIVIDENDS.
