LA \V IN'l ELLIGENCE. COURT OF CITAN(;ERY, Aug. 18. THIS RIGHT REV. THE BISHOP OF ELY U. LORD 'KING. The Loan CnANCEt.LoR took his seat this thoroiog soon after nine o'clock. Ile stated that he had looked into all the papers and affidavits in this case, which came before him on the appli c aim) of the Riglit Reverend Prelve, for an ln iiinetion, to restrain the Noble Defendant from ,recting a building immediately behind the epis copal mansion in Dover-street, the bill allegit , g that the said mansion would be rendered vire d,ok and uocomfortable, Un the other hand, the ah s,eer dleged, that no such effects vectold be pro (hood by the proposed building, as there would he a space of nineteen feet between tha two places, which was two feet more than what was thought necessary by a former decision of the Court, in the time of Lord Hardwick. In sup port of the allegations on both sides, a number of affidavits had been filed by the parties. Lie was certainly of opinion, that the Bishop of Ely had acted very properly in bringing this case before the Court, he having only an interest in the man sion-house dining the lunette remained as Bishop of the See of Ely, and was hound to preserve the property in such a state as would not give his suc cessors any ground of complaint. The affidavits, however, in support of the bill were not such as to justify him in granting the injunction. The building was not begun, but was merely about to be erected, and of course it could not yet he con s:dered a nuisance of such a stature as would in duce the Court to inyerfere. The Court, in grant ing it,juncrinns, had no authority to act merely because a nuisance was apprehended 5 but grounds must be shewn that a nni,a , ice ha l alre.dy beeu created, and then it %could interfere. In the pro gress of this building there might be such a great inconvenience occasioued as t‘ould render an ap- Vie r tii,w to the Court extremely peeper ; but if ia_shoufd be thought necessary to do so, it must he on !:ew affidavits. He wonki suggest to the parties the propriety of their coming an anti aivangement on the subject, as this was the most desir,ible thing they could do. While he again repeated his couviction of the Bishop of Ely having acted very eight in bringing this ap plic4tion forivard, he mast at the same time refuse the injunction, no sufficient grounds being silewn tor the inti'rteience of the Court. Alotion refused. LOI &hip then proceeded, at half past nine, to !tear bankrupt petitions, Khich occupier) the whole ,thy till two, whet; I►e was specially sum monetl• to attend a Cabinet Council. DURIIANI, AUUUST 15. We have given a full account of the it:decent conduct of King and Charlton when sente►►ce was pronounced upon them. The instant they got do%vn the steps which led from the dock, Charl ton, outrageous at King as the supposed cause of his condemnation, knocked him down with such a tremendous blow, that it was apprehended be had anticipated the executioner; Kiug, how ever, soon recovered, and it has been necessary. since to keep theta both heavily - ironed. King obstinately refused this morning to go to chapel ; whether he was ultimately brought thither we have not been tilde to learn. Eden persists in protesting his innocence even to Mr. %Voile, the Governor of the Gaol, whose humane and manly conduct excites respect and gratitude even in the breasts of (dons, and gains him the confidence of all the inmates of his gloomy pretnises, Eden's convicted partner, James %Voile, sullenly urges his perfect innocence. A reprieve had arrived from Newcastle for John Eden, James lfroy - e, and Wilbani Charltro. The sole reason is, the insufficiency of the evi dence, for even all siteuipt at giving a good cha racter to any one to them had not been made. The evidence is fully before the public, and it would hardly be decent in us to remark upon it. Oh bowtvei, it is, that the Juries who convict. ed the reprieved are placed in a very unpleasant predicament. On this occasion, as always, the Judge recommended, if there was any doubt, to acquit. The verdict of " Guilty" implied, that twelve men had no doubt of the guilt of the pri soners. The reprieve distinctly implies, tliat they ought to have felt insurmountable doubts. This is a very unfortunate difference of opinion in cases where the charges were so terribly criminal, and the severest punishment of the guilty was so im periously required. Monday,' August 16. EXECUTION OF JOHN ICNCI FOR MURDER. King was yesterday got with difficulty to cha pel. lie afterwards called for Mr. Wolfe, and confessed that he had struck the blow upon Ha milton, and that Chailton had known nothing of it. Since that time he continued extremely de jected, and frequently sunk in convulsive fits. The execution took place in front of the new gaol, a few minutes before 9 in the morning. The wretched culprit sunk in a violent fit as he was conveyed on a chair from his cell. While prepa rations were making in the Grand Jury-room, through which he was led to the platform, he ne ver tittered a word, but surrendered himself to the most absolute dejection. Uc was carried by two men to the platform, and upheld while the rope was adjusted. He died without a struggle. Au immense crowd collected to see the pitiable spec tacle. The respite for the other three had been com- Inunicated to them at 8 last night. They were i'ehemeiitly affected. J►►n►e Wulte fainted. The respite is to the Ilth of Septembcr.—(Time,.)

GUILDHALL. — It being generally known that this unfortunate young man was to undergo his final examination yesterday, and that his wife was sufficiently recovered from her wounds to be able to attend and give her deposition, a great con course of people was collected together in the Guildhall-yard, as early as ten o'clock in the morning, and before eleven all the avenues to the Justice-room were so completely stopped up, as to render it very difficult for the officers in at tendance to open a passage for the admittauee of those whose presence was required. The office itself was crowded to excess with persons of re spectability of both sexes, immediately after she doors were opened. Mrs. Stew, accompanied by her father and sister, arrived in a coach from the Hospital about a quarter before eleven o'clock, and were p e r. !flitted to remain in the Magistrate's parlour their presence was required. Her at:pearance by no means interesting ; she is short of stature, about 26 years old, light blue eyes, small nose, and fair complexion. She looked remarkatfly pale, and was more annoyed than fatigued by the curiosity of tire surrounding spectators; her voice and manner is remarkably mild and fascinating. The prisoner, Stent, was conveyed from the Compter iu a coach, in custody of Hirdsfield, the officer, accompanied by his cousin, and Mr. Bryant, a friend of tine family, and alieited at the Office exactly at twelve o'clock. The Sitting Wigistrate, Mr. Alderman J. 'I. SMITH, arrived a few minutes before hint. The examination was not proceeded in immediately, on account of the absence of Mr. !farmer, the prisoner's solicitor, but on his arrival, at half-past twelve, the pri soner was placed at the bar. Henry Benwell, Esq. the House Surgeon at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, was their examined.-- e stated that Maria Stott was brought In the Hospital between six and seven o'clock n u the evening of Thursday the sth inst. ; he saw her directly ; she was very faint and cold, but per fectly sensible. Ott examining her he found she had received several wounds ; there were three on her neck anti right breast, one on her right arm, one on the right side, and one on the left thumb ; one wound on the neck had penetrated the wind pipe, and that on the side had penetrated the right lobe of the lungs ; from this last mentioned wound s h e bl e d most profusely. This wound, and that which had injured the windpipe, were the most serious ; the others were small and of little conse quence. He at first apprehended considerable danger ; Mts. Stent, however, continued getting better till the Sunday morning following, when he was called up at seven o'clock, in consequence of an attack of inflammation OH his Ntient's lungs, hot froth this site had now recovered. The wounds were not ye. perfectly healed, but he considered her now out of danger. He had not seen the knife with which the stabs ware.given, bet from the appearance of the wounds they must have been made by a sharp instrument. Mr. HARMER declined "asking this witness any question. The depositions of Thomas Turner, the porter, George King and Thomas I'ithouse, waiters at the Saracen's Head Inn, were severally read over, signed, and sworn to, and the parties bound over iu recognizatices of 401. each, to attend and give evidence on the trial. Mrs. Stent was then introduced and accomo dated with a chair at the desk near the Alderman. She was dressed in a blue spotted cotton gown, with a shawl over her shoulders, and wore a black poke bonnet neatly coaceeling her face ; from this circumstance and her continually holding her head down, very few of the spectators were gratified by a view of her countenance. Mr. Alderman SMITH addressed her with great feeling, and informed her it was necessary she should be Sworn. She replied very mildly, hut-firmly, " very well, Sir." The oath was then administered. She stated, in answer to the diffe'rent questions put by the Alderman, that site was the wife of the prisoner ; that she arrived in London trout Li verpool on the day in question ; that she wrote a letter to her husband, and that he came to her at the Saracen's [lead about six o'clock in the evening. In answer to the question what hap pened after her husband arrived she replied very distinctly, that the was so agitated on seeing her husband that she could recollect nothing after she saw hint till she found herself undtest in the Hospital. In giving this evidence she was par ticulaily puttied in not raying too much, making no extraneous observation, but confining her an swers strictly to the yiestions and frequently giv ing them in a single word ; as when asked, how , she toutid herself when she came to her recollec ion she replied " wounded ;" when asked, where ? she said, " principally in the neck." She per sisted, when re-questioned, that she had no recol lection of any thing that passed its the interview Kith her husband. Mr. HAMMER seemed Satisfied with h e r evidence, and declined asking her any questions. 'lr. Alderman SMITH, adliressiug Mrs. Stew's father, whose name is James Beecher, said, much as he might regret the circumstances, a serious crime had bean committed ; RS H. was necessary some person should be bound over to prosecute, Mrs. Scent, being a married mdman, could not ;. the nearest relation was the party generally look ed to, and as he stood in that relation, he wished to know if he was willing to be so bound over. Mr. Beecher replied, it it was necessary ; he Was very sorry for it ; it was a most unfortu nate business, and lie bad no wish to pursue t h e hUsband. Mrs. Stunt, bursting into tears, laid her hand on her father's arm, and said, in a most beseech ing tone, " Don't you, father." Mr. LlARmait, to whom the father seemed to look for advice, said, " You have your option." On which Mrs. Stent said, still more earnestly, " Then don't you, father." On which Mr. Bees ier declined to be bound over. flirdsficlil, the olticer who took the prisoner into costody, was then bound over a the pro- Scentor. Mr. Beecher being asked by the Magistrate it he would cuter into recognizance for the appearance of his daughter, replied be would be answer able tor her forthcoming. Mr. HARMER said it WETS of no consequence ; Mr Beecher should enter into recognizance for her appearance and also to prosectite• The Magistrate said, " it will be better. under such circumstances, to bind over our own Officer." Mrs. Stent was permitted to withdraw into 'the parlour with her father and sister. Shortly af.cr Mr. Harmer brought a request from her to the Alderman, t►► he permi[ted to see her husband for tew minutes before he was sent hack. Mr. Alderman SMITH said he could not refuse such a request, only on account of the agitation it mould occasion to both of them. Stunt again !legged for GAl's sake to let her speak to hint for a utioute. The Magistrate said it tv;,, painful to deny her, hut he thought it would he too much r>r the tee ings of both of them ; but she should have permissiou to ‘isit him at the Compter, with hit!, she appeared more content, and shortly afterwards returned in a coach to the Hospital, The Alderman, addressing the prisoner, told him it was the opinion of his Soliciror that he should um say thing in ilk defence at present.— MAgkrymte lia,d every regard to his feelings in fte painful sit.sation he was placed in, but he must be committed for trial. His wish, how ever, to remain in the Compter until the Sessions commenced should he complied with.—The pri soner bowed respectfully, and was removed from the 11,2,r During the whole of this painful examination the prisoner maintained his usual composure, which was not in the least altered on the a',,pear ance of his wile. The only period at which he slimed Any agi'ation was during the reading of that part of Pithouse's evidence, where he de sc,il4es the affectin• conduct of :\JT-s, .S.c:c while being carried to the TioTital. The prisoner had been much affected at the time this evidence was given otiginally. He expresses no further resentment against H wife, but desires never to speak to her or see again, • and wished the officer to ler hint stand down while she was present, that he might not be forced to see her. He expresses himself truly grateful for the feeling of the puhlic towards hint, 'and hilly Tensible of the kitid treatment he had re ceived from the Magistrates, as well as from Mr. Teague, and the otlicers'at the Compeer. He was very respectably dressed in an olive brown coat, clean white waistcoat, trowsers and shoes, and looked in remarkable good health. ROBBERIES AT THE ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. llow-SraegT.—For some time past the crowis coming out of the above Theatre, at the close of the performances, have been frequently robbed, and in consequence,, on Tuesday night, Bond and J. J. Smith, belonging to the above Office, were stationed at the Theatre, when they detected Appleyard and Cooper, two well-known charac ters, who no doubt had been plundering the com pany. On the prisoner, Appleyard, no less than five valuable handkerchiefs were found, font- silk and one white, concealed under his trowsers other parts of his body. On the person of the prisoner, Cooper, was found a valuable silk hand. kerchief, which no doubt had been stolen. The prisoners were committed for further examination, when it is expected that those of the company who have resorted to the English Opera House will attend to identify their property. TUE DROPPED CHILD.-MSSTERIOUS CASE. HATTori-GAuDEN.—Mrs. Jane March, wife of Giles March, a respectable looking unan, 39 years of age, and the mother of ten (now living) children, was brought tip from Clerkenwell Work house for examination, charged with dropping and deserting in the public street a male Want, so at to become chargeable to the parish of St. James, Clerkendwell. The evidence adduced was similar to the statement given in our Paper of Friday last, under the head of " A Mysterious Case."—The charge being proved, the offence being bailable, the prisoner was committed to the House of Correction for want of sureties.—The child is in a fait' way, and now in her care. ACCIDENTS BY DROWNING. Yesterday an Inquest was taken at the Fortune of ‘Var, East-street, Mattchestet • square, before Trios. STIRLING, Eiq. Coroner, on the body of Master fins. Rogers, son of Mr. Rugets, jewel ler, of East-street. The deceased went to bathe with some school-fellows; one of them advised him not to venture tou tar as it was deep, but re gardless of his advice, he plunged in, exclaiming, " If I was born to be drowned 1 must, be drowned. so here goes ;" he sank to rise no more. Verdict—" Accidental Death." Another Inquest was held at the same time and place, on the body of John Callaghan, son to Mr. Callaghan, builder, of 14, York-place, Manches ter-square, who, from the negligence of the nurse, went to a well in the yard An d tell in. The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death.'' Yesterday morning Mr. John Harris, of Green ford Grove, Harrow, kft his borne to bathe in the Paddington Canal, but not being an expert swim mer, and venturing beyond his depth, he was drowned. His body was found shortly after, and carried to his residence. On Tuesday evening, the body of a well•look ing young woman, of very decent appearance, was found in the New River, quite dead. There wes no money about her person, or any thing to lead to a discovery of her frienes, or who she There was the appearance of a blow on the back of the head, T he body was carried to the bone house olClerkenwell Church to be owned. ~_ The body of a young n►►►n Was also found in the Tha►ues, and carried in Wapping church.
