The directors of the Devon Great Consols Mines de clared on Wednesday last their usual bi-monthly divi dend of 5/. per share, amounting to 5,1201. (the dividend being now paid free of income-tax), leaving in hand an available balance in cash, Exchequer-bills, and ore-bills due next month, of 19,446 L 133. 6d. applicable to the future prosecution of the mines. The advance on the standard will give a considerable addition to the profits of the past month. Taking the standard of last week, we estimate the 1,442 tons sold on Thursday will realise upwards of 10,0001., including carriage; whilst the costs for the month, inclusive of every expense contingent on the working of the mines, will amount to about 5,000/ ; consequently, a profit of 5,0001. for the month may be anticipated. Treviskey and Barrier meeting was held on Monday last, when a dividend of 41. per share was declared on Treviskey for the months of January and February— the profits on the two months amounting to 525/. 12s. 9d.; a balance of 121. 59. Id. remains in hand, with the ore bills coming due; 416 tons were sampled on the 14th, and 360 expected for March or April. A special meeting of Comblawn adventurers was held on Tuesday, when the accounts were audited and passed. Resolutions were passed for the immediate erection of a steam-engine of sufficient power to prove the mine effec tually, and the forfeiture of 50 shares, belonging to a defaulting holder. A call of 10s. per share was also made. At the Great Polgooth meeting, on Monday last, the accounts for December and January showed a profit on the two months of 958/. 16s. 2d. A dividend of 2?. 10s. per share was declared, leaving a balance of 621. 16s. 2d. A meeting of the Trenance Company was held yester day, at which a call of 1/. per share was made. A meeting of Wheal Anderton was held at Tavistock, on Thursday, at which favourable reports from Captains Carpenter and J. Paull were read. At the meeting of East Birch Tor, on Thursday, the directors announced their intention of declaring a divi dend in June next. At a meeting of Lanarth adventurers, on Monday, a call of IL per share was made. In foreign mines, the principal business appears to have been in St. John del Rey, Copiapo, United Mexi can, Bolanos, and North British Australian Company. We learn that advices have been received from the colo nial agent, stating that 350 tons of copper regulus had been shipped at Sydney. This we presume to be the produce of 600 tons of ore, which had to be discharged at that port some time since, on the passage home, in consequence of its heating in the vessel. Gualdalcanal shares have been in request, and several transactions taken place. We have seen the specimens recently received from the mines, one or two of which were very rich for silver, and we have since learned that, from isksays made on two samples, they were found to contai, l- 880 and 4,850 ozs. of silver respectively. The Imperial Brazilian Mining Association received dispatches on Monday and 'Wednesday last. The gold returns, from December 23d to January 22d, amounts to 81bs. 1 oz. 9 dwts. Bananal returning 101bs. I oz. 6 dwts. and Goo Soco 131bs. 7 oz. 3 dwts. The total, from July Ist to December 31st, appears to be 2611b5. 7 oz. 16 dwts. THE ARMY AND NAVY.

A steamer will take him from Leghorn to Alexandria. Major Mcc murdo, Major W. Napier, and Brevet Major Kennedy accompany Sir Charles to India. Sir Guy Campbell and Captain Byng are to become members of Sir Charles's Staff on his arrival in India, ROYAL DOCKYARD ORDNANCE. The Admiralty have ordered that eighteen of the twenty-four 32- pounders appropriated to the use of the Woolwich Dockyard Brigade are to be returned into the store of Woolwich Arsenal. THE NAVAL APPRENTICES —The number of Naval Apprentices at the ports is being reduced considerably, without any new entries to fill vacancies. Another draft has been sent to ber Majesty's steam-frigate Arrogant, in lieu of first class boys, and to be borne as such ; and the original number of 200 on board the Rolla at Portsmouth is now reduced to 143. There are hundreds of candidates for vacancies ; but it is quite uncertain whether they will be filled up. THE ROYAL NAVAL COLLEGE AT PORTSMOUTH.— We have had our attention frequently called of late to the great expenses incurred by young officers waiting at Portsmouth to pass their necessary examinations in gun-1 nery, &c. It would be much better for the young gen tlemen themselves, and certainly of infinite advantage to their parents and friends—some of whom are old officers, and needy man—if, whilst their attendance is neces sary at Portsmouth, they should be allowed the benefit of living on board the guard-ship, and, conse quently, under discipline; instead of, as at present, being compelled to live on shore in lodgings at a great ex pense ; and not only this, but exposed to the many idle temptations which a seaport offers, to lead them into scrapes. Even if they were, in these economical days, not allowed their pay and victuals whilst thus placed, it were better to let them have the benefit of a mess and messmates to associate with on board ship, than to run wild adrift on shore. ALDERNEY GARRISON AMUSEMENTS.—We some time since mentioned that two officers had been charged with shooting a bull, belonging to an inhabitant of the place. and we now understand that an inquiry had been insti tuted by order of the authorities into the circumstances of the case---the result of which is, that Captain Douglas, of the 14th Regiment, has been placed in arrest prepa ratory to the assembling of a court-martial for his trial, of which Lieutenant-Colonel Torrens has been ap pt ointGdueed rn Presesident• The court-martial is to t a k e pl ace here. ay, and Capt a i n D oug l as h as a l ready arrived DOCKYARD IttPonst. The Admiralty, have issued orders to all their establishments to the effect that hence forth all extra pay for permanent services rendered by her Majesty' s services under the jurisdiction any one in of the Admiralty, is to be abolished. SURVEY OF TirE NEW WoßLD.—lier Majesty's ship Rattlesnake Cantain Owen St 9 • --- anley, was at Cape York in November last, and was to sail for Port Essington and Sydney on the 2d of thatsamtiosnritetht.orCyapptaroin. Stanley has made rapid and very gress in the survey of that part of the coast Her tender, the Bramble, Lieutenant-Commander lYu _ e, w ag also at Cape York, and would most probably await the arrival of a vessel from Sydney, which was bringing up stock, horses, &c., for the overland expedition, under Mr. Kennedy, expected from Moreton Bay. The inner passage through Torres Strait did not appear to be as much frequented by ships as could be expected. Out of SI vessels Passing through, 29 had taken the outer route, a. 'ld left their reports at Booby Island. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal.) In the mining share market a fair proportion of busi ness has been done during the week, and inquiries have been made for shares in the leading mines, at buyers' prices. In Devon Great Consols transactions have taken place, in several shares, at somewhat lower prices; this is rather unaccountable in the present position of the mine. Levant, West Buller, Wheal Trelawny, and West Cara• don, may find purchasers. We learn that Tincroft and Lewis continue to keep up their late extraordinary im provements; buyers are freely found for each. Heignston Downs have not maintained their position, although very favourable reports are given of the mine. Condurrows are still in request; notwithstanding thereaction referred to in our last, shares have been done at our present quotations. Misrepresentations have evidently been made, with a view of misleading timid holders ; and we would suggest that, when pursers or managers are aware of such movements to procure shares under market prices, an official report of the mine should have publi city, for the guidance of distant shareholders; and, if they then sold, they would do so with an authentic statement before them. We hear that the lode in the shaft is worth 431. per fm., and the 70 end east, 501. per fm.; 300 tons of ore have been sampled this week, and a large quantity of tin will be realised against the two months' cost. Trehanes have been done, and may find buyers at present quotations. Several reports having been circulated with regard to the lode having passed through the shaft, and a consequent depre ciation having taken place in the shares, we are ad vised, from good authority, that the agents who first raised the report now think it differently, as, at the bottom of the shaft, a branch, containing lead, is drop ping westward (the underlay of the lode being east), and is thought to be descending to the lode. Even had the lode been in the shaft, those who knew the mine think little of it; and, in order that the case may be understood, we may observe that, from the 35th to the 55th fin. level, the average underlay was eleven inches in a fathom; and, by continuing in this direction, the lode would remain in the sett 183 fins. from surface. Were the lode now in the shaft, the underlay would be greater from the 55th than it was above; and, consequently, the lode would not be so deep in the mine. Above the 55th fm. level, the ores standing in reserve are said to be worth 7,000/. We learn that Birch Tor and Wheal Frances shares have been done in the country, the former at an advance on our last quotation. In Wheal Franco several shares have changed hands, in consequence of the improvement of the lode going down under the 47 fm. level; in this winze there is a considerable quantity of ore being raised of very good quality. Shares in the following- mines have changed hands during the week, vi 4. : —Devon Great Consols, East Wheal Rose, West Buller, Condurrow, Treviskey and Barrier, Mary Ann, West Caradon, Trelawny, South Wheal Basset, Trehane, Herodsfoot, Wellington Mines, West Tolgus, Alfred Consols, Kingsett and Bedford, Stray Park, Wheal Franco, Mendip Hills, Tincroft, Birch Tor, Treleigh, Tamar Consols, East and South Tamar, and Heignston Down. _ THE GOLD DIGGINGS AND lIER MAJESTY'S SHIP PAN DORA.—The report which has appeared in the papers relative to the freight of 900.000 pounds sterling in gold dust, which it was said the Pandora was bringing home, is quite imaginary. She had taken a small quantity from California to Panama. THE SUN, LONDON, STATE OF TRADE. NOTTINGHAM.—The condition of the cotton hosiery branches continues brisk, the hands being well employed, and the extensive and beneficial regulations es tablis€ d be tween the hosiers and the workmen giving more content than the actual advance of wages. The plain silk hose branch has also considerably improved in Derbyshire, and hands can scarely be obtained to work the remnant of frames, nor either can they be readily introduced, as it takes both time, skill, and care, to make a good silk stockinger. The silk glove branch is still pretty good; the journeymen in general have obtained the price they required for fingering. A long series of misfortunes, sufferings, and losses, have made this body of men more united than we ever remember them; but they have the wisdom to join moderation to firmness, and not to commit the egregious blunders of the Sheffield work men, the Yorkshire weavers, and the London tailors, in attempting too much, and losing all.

LEEDS.—More goods were sold at our Cloth Halls on Saturday than had been sold on any previous market day of late, but on Tuesday fewer buyers were in the market, and less business was done. The stocks of goods in the makers hands are lower than usual at this period of the year, and prices have a tendency upwards in low qualities, but finer goods are siithout any alteration. A full average amount of business has been done in the warehouses by the home buyers, and the shipping houses are improving. BRADFORD MARKET, MARCH 22.—Wools—At DO period of the eventful year 1848, was less business doing in combing wools than in the week past. Every one seems inclined to use up the stocks on hand rather than buy new at the present prices, which continue very firm, notwithstanding the large stocks now in the market, and the total absence of buyers. This is, no doubt, as cribable to the fact, 'that the farmers are standing out for much higher prices than can be afforded for this market, and many refuse even to offer their wools till the new clip is brought to market, which from present appearances will not be so cheap as the shear-day price of 1848. Yarns—The market to-day may be considered somewhat flatter for the actual purchase of yarns, but such is the position of the trade that all produced is as yet going into consumption, the spinners being engaged for some time to come, and behind hand in their deliveries. The turn of the year 1848 com menced at higher prices, which deterred the shipping houses from giving out their orders, especially as the Elbe was then closed. and as prices continued on the ascendant to the beginning of the present month, it prevented the buyers for export operating to their usual extent. For years past not so much of the spinning production has been used for home manufactures as has been the case for the last four months, so that there is every rea son to expect (if not interfered with by any warlike movement) a good business. Prices are now stationary, and the probabilities are, that an additional demand for any exporting country would give another upward ten dency. Pieces—The demand is very similar to-day to that of other markets during this month, none of which have been so active as the two previous ones. It is, however, gratifying to know that the stock of goods is exceedingly light among the merchants, as well as the manufacturers; for several of the former were disin clined to give the advance, and have supplied themselves sparingly, while others gave out orders. On the whole, the gross quantity of maaufactures, in all hands here, is very short of an average of years past, which is en couraging for the future. Prices of all very firm. MANCHESTER, THIIRSDAY.—We have had one of the dullest market days this week for a long time past, and no reasonable concession on the part of sellers would have induced buyers of cloth to purchase a single piece above the immediate demand. Many things have evidently concurred to produce this state of things —such as the uncertainty of the news from India— the unsettled state of things on the Continent, especially in Italy—the decline in the cotton market—and, not least, an increased and very general desire to sell, even on the part of the more wealthy manufacturers. The interest excited for the arrival of the India mail is un paralleled. The yarn market is quite as dull and heavy as the cloth market, and lower rates are generally sub mitted to without leading to an extended business. LEICESTER.— The demand for worsted goods is checked by the prices now required, and but little is doing, except in the execution of orders given before the advance in yarns. Cotton hose still continue in good re quest, and the advance in workmanship is obtained. A rise of 3d. per dozen on wrought hose is generally agreed upon, although it is before the season they will be required, this branch being considered the worst paid. Worsted yarns remain without alteration, and the mills continue in full employ. Lamb's wool yarns have ad vanced Id. per lb. But little is doing in the Wool market, staplers not being able to obtain a profit on the prices now asked by the growers. Henry Richard Leddell, Upton-cum- Ch alney, Bucking hamshire, ironmonger.

EARL PuWIS. In ibis case, which had not concluded when our report left, The LORD CHANCELLOR affirmed the order of the Court below, and stated that the principle to govern such cases had been laid down by him in " Foss and Har bottle," and other decisions. Appeal dismissed with costs. VICE CHANCERY COURT, March 24. (Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.) HAYWARD V. PIIRSSEY. In this case the arguments were again adjourned, and stand for Monday, after the bankrupt petitions. PREROGATIVE COURT, March 24. (Before Sir H. JENNER FUST.); LEECH V. BATES. The arguments in this case having been concluded to-day, Sir IT. J. Tun gave judgment.—Mr. Edmund Bates, late of Kettering, died last year, after having executed a will and two codicils, which latter were now disputed. The two witnesses to these papers would not speak to their having been duly executed. The first codicil was attested by Thomas Messenger and his mother, but it was said they were not present at the time when the de ceased executed it. On the second were Thomas Mes senger and John Bates. The latter witness said he at tested the instrument before it was signed by the de ceased. A further question was, which of the two codi cils was executed first. The Learned Judge referred to the case of " Falls v. Jackson," where the will was at tested by the witnesses at different times, which was the case in this instance. He could not depend upon the want of memory on the part of the witnesses. Looking at this infirmity, he could not decide against these in• struments. He considered they were duly executed by the deceased at the dates they bore, and would, there fore, grant probate to the will and codicils. The costs to be paid out of the estate. MATSON v. MAGRATH. Sir H. JENNER FEW gave judgment in this case. The deceased, a Lieutenant Melville Gore Matson, of the 59th Regiment, made a will on the 14th of March, 1833, at which period he was taken seriously ill, when he be queathed a life interest in his property to his mother, and after her death to a Miss Charlotte Butler, of Ennis killen, a lady whom ho was under an engagement to marry, saying, " if he died he could wish to provide for her," but recovering, he married the lady, and four chil dren were the result of that marriage, and who now ap peared before the Court, by their guardian, to dispute this will, and call upon the Court to make some provi sion for them, the testator not having made any testa mentary disposition of his property since his marriage. The question was, is the will revoked by this marriage? He (the Learned Judge) then referred to and commented on the case of Fox and Bastard, also Israel and Roden, and others, in reference to the revocation of a will. At the present moment, by the new Wills Act, a marriage would revoke any will made previously, but this bore date before that Act came into operation. He felt be must decide for the revocation of the will, as there were children by this marriage who must be provided for. The law would not allow the widow to have any control over it, though the will was no doubt made to provide for her at the time the testator executed it. The will was accordingly revoked. The costs to be paid out of the estate. JUNES V. ADAMS AND HENSHAW. 1355. per cent. 11. 53. 4d. 11. 2s. 2d. 11. 173.

EARTHQUAKE IN NEW ZEALAND. —SINGAPORE, FEB. 6.—Various shocks of an earthquake occurred at Wellington, New Zealand, from the 13th of October to the Ist of November, the most violent on the 19th of October, by which the town had been nearly reduced to a heap of ruins. Much damage had also been occa sioned in other parts of New Zealand. THE SHILLING DUTY.—About 10,0001. has been paid in this port upon foreign corn and breadstuffs, en tered for consumption at the nominal duty of ls. per quarter.—Liverpool Courier. The testatrix in this case was a Mrs. Mary Anne Gar ratt, late of Newington, who executed a will dated the 16th of June, 1848, which was now disputed by two of her cousins. The will was made by Mr. Watts, and the bulk of her property was left by her to her medical at tendant, a Mr. Jones, she having left only 191. 19s. to each of her cousins, who contended that she was not in a correct state of mind when sbe made her will. She would frequently mistake one person for another. Dr. HAGGARD now appeared before the Court, asking it to grant probate, and contending that she was com petent for executing her will. Pr. BAYFORD opposed the will. He stated that a will had been previously made, giving her property to her two cousins, who were not now mentioned in the will. It was clear her mind had been impaired by her excesses, and that she was incompetent to do such an act. She was .uhject to delusions, and said she had the battle of the Jews at the back of her house. He (Dr. Bayford) con tended that there was much suspicion in the manner in which the will was drawn up, as the deceased had al ways expressed an affection for her relatives, and that, therefore, the Court would r efuseto grant probate. „ . The Learned JUDGE, in giving his decision, said, that though the testatrix was in the habit of indulging in intemperance, there did not appear to be sufficient evidence before the Court that could induce it to believe that she was an incompetent person at the time of making her will, nor that any influence had been used by Mr. Jones to obtain this bequest. He (the Learned Judge) always looked with suspicion when medical men became lega tees under wills of persons whom they were in the habit of visiting as medical attendants, owing to the influence they might be supposed to possess. The amount involved was about 5001., and although there was apparently some confusion in the mind of the testatrix, the Court must be bound by the evidence, and accordingly would grant probate to Mr. Jones, the estate meeting the costs. SIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIRCUIT. —Exeter, March 23. (Before Lord DENMAN and a Jury of the city of Exeter.) THE ROBBERY OF THE MAIL ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. After the conclusion of the evidence in this case on Friday, Mr. Comm:not addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoners. This was a strong case of suspicion, he must admit, but if men were to be condemned upon suspicion only, then he might at once resign the prisoners into their hands; but suck Was not the case. That the bags were safe at Bristol he did not deny, nor that the prisoners went by a first-class carriage from Bristol; but he contended there were other persons in the train who had been allowed to depart without any search or inquiry. As to what had been termed masks, they were merely two pieces of crape, and they were not found upon the prisoners, but only in the pocket of the carriage. He could not understand for what purpose it could 1:e suggested those pieces of crape were to be used; they were mere fragments of a woman's veil. The whole evidence was circumstantial, and the books teemed with instances where, on too many occasions, too late 'hi discoveries had been made which proved the innocence of the party who had been sacrificed. There was nothing to show but that the string which adhered to the foot of Poole had become attached as he walked along the platform, or it might have been carried into the carriage by the guards when they went in to search, cc- and left there, and then when Poole stood up it might have adhered to bis foot. He could not say what weight was to be given to the false moustache. It was merely something thrown into the scale. If the jury were not ' satisfied that the tender was robbed during the time of the journey, there was nothing whatever against the prisoners ; but it was alleged that when the train was proceeding at a velocity of from twenty to fifty miles an hour these men had got out out of the window of their own carriage, had then passed the windows of three compartments, and then had got upon the buffers of the two carriages, had proceeded from one carriage to another, and, having only the shelving roof of the carriage to hold on by, they had only the ledge of the panel on which to step for six feet three inches. Why a cat could not have done it. The only evidence produced upon the subject was that it had been done; but it bad been done when the carriages were standing still. But let any of the railway men do it between Bristol and Bridgewater and he would resign the prisoners to their tender mercies. Why, there was not a man to be found who would attempt it for all the gold which it was fancied would come from California. It was too absurd to sup s. d pose it possible. If a man had h a d t h e courage to make X 100 0 0 16' the attempt he must have been dashed to atoms against too 0 0 191 some of the numerous tunnels and bridges which existed n 2 10 0 0 41 1 0 upon th i s li ne. N o man d are d to encounter perils so nu ) o to 0 0 19% merous and so dreadful. Therefo re , b e must suggest that too 0 0 150 the robbery could not have been effected during the jour -10 o C 91. 7s ney, and the prisoners were accounted for as regarded 50 0 g 3 : 3 j every other moment. The matter must have been con -7 0 0 trived when the train was at the points in the dark, a 'lO 0 0 13% quarter of a mile from the station at Bristol, and at that 15 0 0 5 31 ' 178 . time the prisoners were seen in the s t a ti on .

His hypoth es i s was no more in doubt and diffi cu lt y 0 0 1 0 0 1/. 63 than was the case for the prosecution. o to 0 j 43. Od. Saturday, March 24. :0 0 0 10 0 208.6 d Lord DENM AN h av i ng this morning summed up i n 22 1 0 0 17s.ed ie . the case of Henry Poole and Edward Nightingale, 011 0 5r The Jury hesitated for about half an hour, and then 29 returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. Lord DENMAN then addressed them :—You have been founi guilty by the jury of the offence with which you were charged, and upon such evidence that I think it would have been a most unfortunate verdict and a great tee. public calamity if th e j ur y had said you were n o t • guilty, because to me the evidence is so strong and overpowering that to have said you were not guilty would have been inviting all others to commit similar crimes. Ido not believe there is a greater mis fortune, except a wrong verdict of guilty, than where a verdict is pronounced that all the bystanders feel to be per fectly incorrect and false. What can one think when a discharged guard, who comes to Exeter with no appa rent motive, meet another man with no honest calling, goes to Starcross and starts for Bristol, returns by the next train, comes and conceals himself, and tells a false story? The mere fact of your being present with all that knowled ge and so conducting yourself, and the dis appearance of the letters, would be strong to show that you two were the men, and you, Poole, with your evi dent activity and skill, concealment, disguise, and false hood, bear the strongest evidence of guilt ; you must b© transported for 15 years. There was a great sensation in the court, in which were many of Poole's friends. It is clear that these two men robbed the up -mail that night, stayed in Bristol about an hour and a-half, and then returned and robbed the down mail. Another strange circumstance has come to light, that 22 years ago Nightingale's father was prosecuted for robbing the bags of the Dover mail, but was acquitted. The present case shows more daring and courage than can be imagined, because. by the slightest slip, the men must have been dashed to atoms, as, that part of the line being exceedingly level, the trains always go at a great velocity. The case did not conclude till tea at night. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.)

Pric4 EVENING, MARCH 26, 1849. Mr. Gr , enwnori. Q.C.. and Mr. 13. v-tit were entinq.l ior :aid _ended the prisioaerse This case began yesterday morning, and the court was, as usual on these occasions, crammed to suffocation, the bench and grand jury gallery being filled with ladies. To-day the interest seemed to be undiminished. Mr. GREENWOOD opened the case to the jury at great length, and it appeared from the Learned Gentleman's statement, which was entirely borne out by the evidence, that the unfortunate woman who was murdered was an old person who lived at Taphouse, in the parish of Ted burn St. Mary, seven miles from Exeter. She was living in perfect health upon Saturday morning, the 2d of December last, and upon Sunday, the 3d of December, she was found dead in her bed. At this time the pri soner Landick lived at Moreton-hampstead ; he was a sort of travelling tinman or tinker, living sometimes in one place, sometimes in another. Mills, the other prisoner, went about selling small things, such as wooden pins for holding clothes on lines; he wag an intimate friend of Landick; a sister of Mills had been cohabiting with Landick for some time; and she was sometimes called Landick's woman, and sometimes his wife. These three lied been living together a great deal. Woods, the other person in the transaction, was a cobbler or shoemaker, in a small way at Crediton Landick for some time had his eye on the poor woman. Grace Holman, who was an extremely respectable old woman, had lived for a great number of years in the family of the late Colonel Fulford, a magistrate of this county ; and in the latter part of her days, with a small property, which, by industry, she had accumulated, she was living in this little cottage. A notion had got about that she had considerable wealth, and therefore this man had his eye upon her as a victim. Two or three months before this murder occurred, Landick made a proposal to three different men to assist him in the robbery. On the forenoon of Friday, the Ist December, Landick was at Moreton, when he made the same proposal to a man named Woods, who was subsequently taken up with the other prisoners, on suspicion of murdering the old woman, but was admitted Queen's evidence. He stated that Landick said to him that there was an old woman at Taphouse who was a miser ; that his wife had been down there from time to time, and had made inquiries about her property—and he proposed to Woods to go and assist in robbing the house. Woods declined, and the same proposal was repeated during the day. On Saturday the 2d it was again repeated, and on Woods saying he was going over to Okehampton, Landick said, " What a fool to think of going there in such weather as this, when you can get 2001. or 3001. for next to nothing." Mills was also present, and Woods eventually consented to go. Landick brought in a gimlet, and said, "Now, this is the thing that will do to fasten the door of those that live by." Eventually, about half past eight, they all three started towards Tedburn. They ar rived about eleven o'clock at Taphouse, and then Landick said, "It is a little too early to begin;" and they hung about the house for half an hour or so, before they commenced operations. The first thing they did was to take out the gimlet, to bore it into the dern of the door of Collings's house, and then a cord was tied round the handle of the door, and round the gimlet, and it was then screwed in as far as it would go, so as to hold the door fast. Then Landick, who is a tinker, pulled out a sort of beat iron, or anvil which they use, and said, " This will be a good instrument," and he tried to force the door with it, but was unable to do it. They then went about the premises to look for something to help them, and eventally got the trunk of a tree, or consider able sized post, and put it against the front of the house near the window; and Wood and Mills held the thing steady while Landick went up. Landick took out a small pane of glass from the window, put in his hand, undid the window, and went in ; Woods and Mills remained out for a short time. Landick made his appearance after a while at the front door, and opened the door to let them in. At this time his face was all over black, and his shoes taken off. He brought the two in They took off their shoes. He gave them a bundle of soot, with which they blacked their faces, and the package was thrown by Mills behind the front door. Having done that, they went up stairs. They went into the room where the poor old woman was lying asleep. She woke up in a dreadful fright, and sat up in her bed; but Landwick flew at her head, threw her back in the bed, covered her with the bedclothes, and held her there, and then he said—" One of you come here and hold her, and I'll look about, for I know the place better." Mills threw himself on the bed, held her down with his knees upon her person and his hands on her head. While that was done, Landick went about to ransack the house, Woods holding the candle, for they had brought lucifer matches with them and struck a light. They searched. Landick took his anvil and tried the doors and boxes with it. They tried all sorts of places to find supposed treasures—they came more than once to the old woman and threatened her, and said " Where is your money?" She replied in a faint and stifled voice— "l've 'got none 1" They said—" If you don't discover where year money is, we'll cut your throat." They drew open the drawer, and found in it some table spoons. Landick took them, and gave them to Woods, and Woods by his desire put them in his pocket. There were still further threats, but nothing could be got out of her as to any money she had got. They searched the cupboard, and on the top shelf they found a basin where they took out some teaspoons. They then looked at the drawers, and found two rings, one marked with a little heart, and also a crooked sixpence. In the course of this search they found a banker's book. They looked at it, and found an entry of all the money the poor woman had paid from time to time into the savings bank. That satisfied them, and there was an end of all further search ; instead of keeping what little money she had in the cottage, she had deposited it in the bank ; and Lan dick said, "It's of no use making any further search ; I now see where her money is." They left the bank book in the other room, and went in and threatened her again. She had just appa rently- strength and life enough left in her when they said, " Where is your money?" to answer— " Near the window." On which Landick went and found there a purse, which he took up without opening it, and went back to the woman and said, " How much is there?" and she said, two pounds—and eventually, when it was opened, there was 11. 15s. Landick then said, " Where is her pocket? she must have a pocket." They searched closely by the bed, and there found a large pocket, but in it only a few halfpence; and these were placed on the window ledge, and not carried away at all. The search being entirely fruitless any further, Mills came off her. Landick then took up the box and threw it with considerable force upon the bed—it pitched on her head—and then he said, " Damn the old —, that'll keep her from hallooing, won't it?" and then they threw over a chair upon her, and so quitted the place. So they left the poor woman. Whether she died at this moment, or a few minutes after, or an hour after, nobody but God Almighty knows. She was found next morning dead. On Tuesday, the sth of December, they are all three found at the house of a man named Sherman,who keeps a low lodging-house in West gate, Exeter. Woods, Mills, and Landick, were all there, and Landick went up to Sherman and said in slang lan guage, "Do you want any wedge ?" Sherman said, " What sort of wedge?" Landick said, " Why, spoons." " Well," said Sherman, "let me see them." "You shall see them," Landick said, "I'll bring them to you in three or four days, or a week—l suppose you're to he trusted?" " Oh, yes," said Sherman, " i t ' s a ll r i g h t. " T hey went and drank together, but Sherman gave information to the police forthwith. That was on the Tuesday after the murder; the three were found together offering what they call "wedge," which they explain to mean spoons. On the following day, Wedne-day, Landick and Woods again came to Sherman. Mills had enlisted that very day as a soldier under the name of Somers, and he was shortly after moved off to Fernioy, in Ireland, where the regiment was on the point of embarking; and, sub es quen ly he was arrested two days before the regiment started for India. On Wednesday, Mills and Landick again came back to Sherman, and there the constable, who had some information from Sherman, met them, and Landick saw him, went up to him, and said—" Halls, I suppose you're a copper ?" (This is slang—meaning a person connected with the police.) The constable said I am;" and then Landick said—" You're come about that croaking job at Ted burn?" (This was their slang for murder.) The con stable replied—" No, lam not." Landick said—" Well, I am, then. I am employed by Mr. Harvey to search out the spoons." This was wholly untrue, as Mr. Harvey had not had the slightest communication as to his looking after them. Upon the Thursday, Woods went off to Crediton, and there he remained, carrying on his trade of a shoemaker, until he was arrested at Cre diton. What became of Landiek between that time and the time of his apprehension was not distinctly known; but he was found at Ashbur ton, on the 26th of December, on Tuesday, the day after Christmas-day. He went there to a person of the name of Elizabeth Bowden, and lodged at her house with his wife or woman, and remained there. He produced, upon that day, a little anvil, or beat iron, and gave it to Mrs. Bowden, who put it in her back kitchen, where it was locked up until eventually taken possession of by the constable. On the 27th of December, Landick was apprehended by the constable, and a conversation took place between them on the road, he referring to the murder, and the con stable saying nothing at all about it. On the same day that Landick was apprehended at Ashburton, he saw his wife, and desired her to go to his box, and to give what she found there to her brother Joseph (Mills)—that is another brother, not the prisoner; and he having sent her to give this to Joseph Mills, they, with a person of the name of Cann, went away down to Cornwall, and what they got from Mrs. Landick they offered for sale at two places —spoons beat up, and two bowls of a spoon, broken from the end of the shaft or handle. They sold these two bowls, and the others they made an offer to some silversmith in Bodmin, who did not purchase them, and they were found afterwards upon their persons. These spoons were identified as the property of the old woman. The case for the prosecution having been closed, Mr. COLLIER addressed the jury at great length on behalf of the prisoners, contending that Woods' evidence was totally unconfirmed as to the participation of Mills in the transaction; that there was no doubt that he was a party to the murder of the poor old woman, and had told the tale he (lid to take the rope from his own neck, and twist it round the necks of his old companions. He also contended that he was not confirmed with regar‘l to his evidence generally, so as to justify the jury in be lieving one word that he had stated, and theretbre that both the prisoners wore entitled to an acquittal, as the case for the prosecutio I wholly rested on his evidence. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS having summed up, the jury Acquitted Mills, but found Landick Guilty, with a strong recommendation to mercy. On being asked on what ground, they said on the ground that they believed he did not premeditate the murder of the old woman. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS then passed sentence of death on the prisoner, in the usual form. The case although begun the fi rs t thi ng yester d ay morning, did not conclude until six o'clock this evening. NORTliPrur Rourr r;,.,.»„„1 POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -HO CI SE. E. Stannard was finally examined on a charge of having defrauded W. Walker, of Charlotte -street, Fitz roy-square, of fifteen shams in the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway Company. It appeared that the defendant, by means of an adver tisement for a clerk, obtained the fifteen shares as a security for the integrity of the complainant (the value of the shares at the time being 1001.) in that situation, the services in which wero to be remunerated by 701. per annum. The defendant never had any authority to dis pose of the shares. The complainant only remained a month at the office of the defendant, Pancras-lane, Bucklersbury, but never saw any business done there, although the defendant issued printed circulars as a wine -merchant, stating that his cellars were stocked with choice wines. At the end of the month the com plainant saw at the door a van, in which a porter was loading all the goods, consisting of hampers, and empty bottles. In consequence of what he heard from Mr. Exley, a creditor, he would not allow the things to be taken away. In the evening of the same day lie received a letter from the defendant, stating that in con sequence of the importunities of a creditor, he was obliged to give up business, and promising to call and settle about the salary due and the shares. In vain he demanded his shares, and ascertained that the defendant had borrowed 501. upon them from Mr. Exley, and they were not, of course, forthcoming. The defendant, how ever, prevailed upon the complainant to give him a me morandum that, in consideration of receiving an I 0 U for 91. and 11. in cash, he would not take any proceedings against the defendant, who was insolvent. The LORD MAYOR said it was clear that, the shares having been placed in the defendant's hands for a spe cific purpose, he had violated good faith in making use of them for his own benefit, and committed him for trial CITY POLICE COMMITTEE- Mr Charles Paternoster, Nag's Head. Leather-lane, and of the Green Dragon, Half-moon street, Bishops gate, was charged with opening his (the latter) house for the sale of beer, spirits, &c., in the morning of Sun da, last, before the hour of one o'clock. A City policeman stated that he went to the house at half-past ten o'clock on the day in question, and there he found a respectably-dressed man having a glass of ale, and talking to the landlady at the bar. Mr. Paternoster addressed the Bench at some length. lie told the Magistrate that, in his absence tram home a frond from the country, who had travelled fourteen miles that morning, had called upon him, and Mrs. Pa ternoster (his mother) asked him to have a glass of ale, when the policeman came in, ar.d said he should summon the defendant for the offtnce. Mr. Paternoster also brought his mother, sister, poman, and another, woo all swore to the facts above stated. He told the Bench that he thought it was very harsh to be summoned for so trifling an offence, and said that, if convicted, he should not think so much of the fine, but it would be recorded against him on the licensing day, and for such a trifling offence the magistrates might refuse to renew his licence. He also complained of the difficulties and hardships that most respectable and benevolent class of tradesmen, the licensed victualleri, endure. The Bench fined him 20s. and costs. BOW-STREET. Catherine Parker, a chambermaid at the Tavistock Hotel, in Covent-garden, was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, on suspicion of stealing a 51. Batik of Eng land note, belonging to Mr. C. Archer, a gentleman who was staying at the establishment. Mr. F. B. Harrison, of the Tavistock Hotel, stated that the prisoner had filled the situation of a chamber maid, and that he had recently heard of several petty thefts committed in the establishment without being able to get any satisfactory clue as to the thief, until the pre sent disclosures. It appeared that the 51. note had been abstracted from Mr. Archer's trunk, which must have been opened by a false key. Both the date and number or the note were fortunately known to the owner, and this circumstance enabled the parties to bring the case home to the priso ner; for it was proved in evidence that she had given the note to an acquaintance, named Ann Pullen, with a request that she would purchase a few articles for her and return the change. Mrs. Pullen accordingly got her husband, a tailor, at Old Brompton, to change the note, upon the back of which he wrote his namo and address, and then Mrs. Pullen having purchased the things re quired, gave them to the prisoner with the balance— namely, 41. Bs. 3d. Mr. HENRY remanded the case till Saturday next. During the do.), a man named Brewer was charged with stealing a small table from the outside of a pawn • broker's shop, in Long acre ; and another man was charged with stealing a loaf of bread. In both cases the prisoners stated they were driven to the act by destitu tion, having been refused parish relief. Mr. HENRY ordered an inquiry to be made into the facts. DERBY CHEESE FAIR.—At our fair yesterday there was a large supply of cheese, the better qualities of which met with a ready sale at from 50s. to 555.; some fine dairies made a few shillinErs more.

This was an action to recover back the price of a horse, sold by the defendant to the plainiff with a war ranty of soundness, on the ground that it was not sound at the time of sale. The defendant, by his pleas, denied first his liability, and secondly, that the horse was un sound as alleged. The plaintiff is a horse-dealer in Liverpool, the defendant lives at Stanton Court Farm, near Hereford. The plaintiff having seen him a: a fair, called at the defendant's, and tatter some bargaining, bought the horse, a young gelding, for 621., taking a written warranty that he was " sound, free from vice, steady in harness, no crib-biter, no wind-sucker." The defendant sent the horse by his own man the next d,,y to the Craven Arms, near Ludlow, who there deli vered him to the plaintiff, who paid for him and brought him to Liverpool, in good health to all appearance, except a slight cough, and in good condition. He arrived in Liverpool on the 27th, and put the horse in his stable. On his way home the horse showed some signs of being affected by a cold, he coughed several times, but not to excite suspicion or alarm, nor more than young horses frequently d,, when slightly affected by a cold in tray: lling. He was not put to work, being purchased for sale, and on the 22d of September was sent to Howden fair, and there sold to Mr. Wythers, a veterinary surge•)❑ and horse dealer, being then to all appearance in as good if not better condition than when the plaintiff bought it, but still having the slight cough. On the 30th the plaintiff received a letter from Mr. Wythers, stating that the horse was very ill, and on the 2d of November a second letter, stating it was dead, and inclosing the certificate of a veterinary surgeon, stating that he had examined the dead horse, that it had been unsound for months from disease of the lungs, commonly called hepatisation, with tubercles, which must necessarily be some months in forming, and from chronic disease and enlargement of the liver, which was more than twice the proper size and weight. Mr. Wythers demanded back the sum he had paid for the horse (6a), and threatened au action if not complied with—and on the plaintiff hesitating he actually commenced an action, which the plaintiff was advised, of ter in vain requiring the now defendant to defend it, to settle by paying the sum demanded and expenses, and then commenced the present action. Mr Justice COLERIDGE summed up, and the jury, after some deliberation, found a verdict, for the plaintiff— Damages, 621. March 24. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Elijah I ates, 26, an ill-looking journeyman to a tradesman of this place, was indicted for a felonious assault on Mary Rogers Donald, a fine girl of 16 years of age. It appeared that the girl, who gave her evidence with the most becoming modesty, lived with her mother and grandmother, who, on the 23d of December, had gone out to make purchases, leaving the prosecutrix alone in the house. Among others, they called at the pri soner's master's, and purchased ham, potatoes, &c., and the prisoner was by his master sent home with them. Finding the prosecutrix was alone, he took the opportu nity of taking indecent liberties with her, completing the felony, during which she fainted and became in sensible. She was greatly distressed by the cross-examination she had to undergo, but her evidence was unshaken by it, and, after his Lordship had briefly, but clearly, put the case to the jury, they at once found the prisoner Guilty, and he was transported for fifteen years. Ralph Henry Shulliebothani, 25, a surgeon, was in dicted for a felonious assault on Sarah Ann Ashcroft, at Ashton-under-Lyne, on the Bth of January last. It appeared that the prosecutrix, a very pretty little married woman, only twenty •two years old, was on the night of the above day at the house of her sister, who was expecting to be confined, and the prisoner was in .attendance as the accoucheur. He said after some time that the event would not take place that night, and one of them must go with him, and he would send a pill or a draught, and then said the prosecutrix had better go, and she did so. When they got to his house he unlocked the door, and they went in. He then clasped her round the waist and forced her into a bedroom, and there committed the felony, preventing her from making an alarm by getting his fingers into her mouth, and pulling down her jaw. During the struggle he reminded her that her husband owed him eight shillings, and said if she would submit he would cross it out of his books, and they should hear no more of it, but she declared she would not suffer it for 101., and he then said he was determined to have his will at all events. She on coming down stairs found he had locked the door. She told him she would tell her hus band. He said, "if you do, it will be a bad job." She did tell her mother ailii sister as soon as she got back. Persons liv,•d on each side of the prisoner's house, se parated only by a single brick partition, and there was no evidence that any one heard her cries, nor were there any marks of violence on her person. His LORDSHIP summed up as if he were not perfectly satisfied with the case, and The jury Acquitted the prisoner, at the same time saying they imputed nothing against the prosecutrix, only they were not satisfied the prisoner was guilty. 10 ,7 1 - 1r) T.r m FC)nmort.—To-day there was little passing in Foreign Sugar by private treaty.

For Green the trade is in a quiet position, and there are sellers rather under previous quota tions: the market is also well supplied.

This action, as well as another of a similar character against Mr. Edwin James, the barrister, stood for trial at the summer assizes last year, but the record was withdrawn by the plaintiff, and the causes now br o u g h t d own b y the defendants, by proviso, in order that they might be disposed of.

The ease for the prosecution being concluded, Sir Fitzroy Kelly submitted that there vflui no evidence to go to the jury ; whereupon Mr. Justice Wightman said he was of opinion that there was n° . case, and that it was unnecessary farther to occup y tbs time of the jury. Thi s was an act i on for penalt i es , and _ it was not proved th a t any one of the w i tnesses ha d e ye' even spoken to the defendant.
