Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, enrennelled a highly respectable jury at the Red Lion Tavern, Hammersmith-bridge-road, Barnes, to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of Mr. Louis Henry Shad well, aged 38, a barrister, and second son of Sir Lancelot Shadwell Vice Chancellor of Engl an d. , The jury, having been sworn, procceeded to the Vice-Chancellor's residence, Barn-elms Park, tr. view the body, which lay in the library. The face of the deceased was much bruised, partieularly the nose, and water-insects Ind commenced eating away the lower portion of the face. There was coneiderable abrasion of the skin on the knees, as els° the hands. The jury having returned, the following evidence was caild:— Mr. Alfred Hudson Sha lwell, solicitor, residing at Barn-elms, deposed that the deceased was hie brother, and a barrister-at-law by profession. He wonld have been :39 in May next. Police constable Liee, 282 V, deposed, that on Tuesday morning he went, accompanied by Boyce, a gardener in the service of Sir Lancelot Shad well, along the towing path, to search &ditch which skirts Barn elms Park, for the bedy of Louis e hadwell, whom he understood to be missing. They had proceeded - about half a mile towards Hammersmith bridge, and were standing on the Cotton bank, opposite the Crab Tree, when Boyce called his atten tion to some dark object in the ditch, and he went down the bank and distinctly saw the body of a man, lying face downwards; the back of the head was about an inch above water, hut the other portion of the body was immersed. He knew the body to be that of Mr. Louis Shadwell, and with the essistence of the gardener, got it out of the -ditch. The head was bare, as also the feet, and he did not see any hat or shoes. On searching deceased, witness found 4s. ad., a door key, and a gold signet ring on the third finger of his left hand, and a pair of wet socks, the feet of which were covered with gravel or sand. These were in his right hand coat pocket. Both the knees of the trowsers were very much torn, and there were scratches on the knees. The clothing had not been otherwise disordered. The water in the ditch was not more than two feet in depth. There were no appear ances on the bank at that spot as if the deceased had slid or rolled down, and there was no indication of violence haring taken place. Witness's opinion was that deceased had vrelked into the ditch, unknowingly, and fell in attempting to get out. His hands were clenched, and full of black mud, and he was partly on his knees. George Boyce, the gardener spoken of by last witness, was next examined. Ile said, that on ascer taining that Mr. Louis Shadwell was missing, he pro ceedid to drag the ditch from the fishing-bridge to the lodge, and afterwards as far up as the high bridge. lie also dragged the lock, but did not discover the object of his search. The witness then corroborated the facts deposed to by last witness, and gave it as his opinion that the deceased had first get out of the river and then tumbled into the ditch, where he was suffocated. Had known deceased nearly 12 years, and believed him to be of sound m i n d. H e b el i eved that Mr. Shadwell had in the first instance missed the road, tumbled into the dock, and as a means of extri cating himself, swam out into the river (it being then about high tide), and was carried by the tide up the river to where be landed. George Pearson, butler to Sir Lancelot Shadwell, deposed it was the custom of deceased to come from town on Saturday ev , ning and remain till Monday. He slept at the lodge, but took his meals with the family. lie generally resided in chambers. On last Sunday evening deceased dined with Sir Lancelot and the family, and he appeared in his usual health. Wit ness last saw Mr. Shadwell alive at half-past nine o'clock that evening, when he came down stairs from the drawing room. Went to the cellar and had one glass of port, which was his usual custom before leaving, and then left for the lodge; the distance he had to go was 880 yards. Witness saw Mr. Shad well out at the stableyard-gate, and at that time it was wry dark and foggy.. Ile did not hear of him again until nine o'clock the next morning, when Mrs. Samuel, the woman at the lodge, asked him if he had seen Mr. Louis, as his door w as l oc k e d , and she believed he hod not been in his room all night. Witness procured a ladder, looked through the windaw, and saw that he was not in his apartment, nor had he been to brd. His hat and gloves were in the room, and his watch in the tabl e -d rawer. De ceased, when at the mansion, usually wore a cap. This witness was of a similar opinion as the last, as to the cause and manner of the death. William Alason, a labourer, living near the Crab Tree at Hammersmith, proved that on Sunday night, at about a quarter to eleven o'clook, he heard cries from the other side of the river, and a person repeating "Oh, Lord! Oh, God !" many times, and groaning. The party als o sa id, " G eorge, George !—a light !" It was a weak voice, and witn ess th ought it a female. By the advice of lUr. Bullin, the landlord of the Crab Tree, they went to Hammersmith-bridg e and got a boat and a lantern ; but by the time they had reached the spot where the cries proceeded from, more than half-an-hour had el a p se d. Th ey searched' the towing path and bank, and on the latter discovered the im print of naked feet from a distance of twenty or thirty yards and back. These marks were seventy or eighty yards from where the body was found. There was no sign of any recent violence. They called aloud, but got no answer. The tide was nearly at its height, but not over the towing-path. W. Morris, a labourer, produced the deceased's cap, which had been found near the Putney steam-boat pier on Monday afternoon, as also one of his shoes, which he had picked up off the College of Civil En gineers. After some further evidence, The CORONER addressed the jury, and after enume rating the facts, remarked upon the mystery that shrouded the case. The singular fact of the deceased's socks being in his pocket, his cap and one shoe being found in the river, clearly proved he had been there, but how he came on to the footpath, and then into the ditch, could only be surmised. The hypothesis trust be that he lost his life by‘mischance. Mr. Bullin, the landlord of the Crab Tree; here observed that he heard some one cry distinctly " Help, help," and "George, George," and a paddling in the water. Had he had a boat, he was convinced he could have saved the party. Mr. Alfred Shadwell said he could not conceive that his brother was the victim of violence, as no money had been taken from him; and he believed, with the rest of the family, that the melancholy event was Fundy accidental, The jury were unanimously of' opinion that Mr. Louis Shadwell was accidentally drowned or suffo cated, and returned a verdict accordingly. DREADFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—About three o'clock in the afternoon of Friday last the neighbour hood of the Moss, near Wrexham, Denbighshire, was the scene of unusual excitement in consequence of au explosion'which took place in a pit there, the property of and worked by the Brymbo Colliery Company. In this pit about forty men were at work at the time of the explosion, and, as may well be imagined, the utmost consternation prevailed when the fact became known. From inquiry made en the spot, it appears that acme of the mfg whilst dig i.ng cut through into the level of some old workings filled with foul air, which rushed like afl tod into the pit w here the men were at work, and then by some means ignited. Three of the colliers im mediately made their way to the bottom of the shaft, and signalled to the enginemen to wind them up, which, in the fright he did, after some delay. By this time the bleze was ascending the mouth of the pit, and whilst being drawn up the poor fellows' clothes caught fire, and they were dreadfully burnt—two of them receiving such serious injaii , s that they have both since died, and the other man now lies in so precarious a state that he is not expected to recover. The other men in the pit, wills great presence of mind crept through an aperture into an adjoining pit, which most providentially was the means of saving their lives. A long time elapsed before their safety was ascertained, and in the interval hundreds of people were congregated round the pit, many of the persors present being relatives or friends of the colliers, and whcse cries and shrieks doting the awful suspense, were of the most heartrending description, and testified the agony of their feelings. The fire blazed for two stays to the height of about ten feet above the mouth of tee colliery, end roared like a la!eot furnace. Water has been let into the pit, and the month has been stopped up, but up to this time (Wednesday) tie tire continues o burn with great fury, although it is expected the moans adopted will eventually extinguish it.

ROLLS' COURT, Dec. 13. The Master of the Rolls heard causes to-day. TIE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V. THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. This ca-e had been the subject of reference to tbt. Master. The bill was originally filed by the plaintiff to obtain an account of certain property, money, and vale ables, which it alleged had come into the posses sion of the Duke of Cambridge, as one of his guar. dians, appointed at the time of the Duke of Bruns wick's expulsion from his dominions; when a setthiment of his affairs and income was agreed to by the reigning duke and the plaintiff's guardians. It had been found necessary by the plaintiff to file a supplemental bill in the cause, to which the defen. dant lad put in answers, and these were met by the plaintiff by 13 exceptions for insufficiency, nut on various other grounds. There had been a refer ence to the Master on the subject, and he had allowed the first, seventh, ninth, and eleventh exception, and overruled all the rest. The plaintiff took exceptions to that decision, and admitting that the third and tenth had been properly overruled sought the interference of the Master of the Rolls to sustain the other excep tions taken. Mr. Roundell Palmer and Mr. Cole were heard for the Duke of Brunswick; Mr. Turner and Mr. Elms ley ibr the Duke of Cambridge. .1, , 0rd LANGDALE pronounced his judgment in favour of tne Duke of Brunswick upon t vo of the exceptions —n lamely, the eleventh and t*elfth, and against him upo}i, the remaining. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 13. (Before Mr. Commissioner Houton)) IN RE H. PATERSON. _ _ The bankrupt, a livery-stable keeper of the Hippo drome, Notting-hill, applied for his certificate. His debts are ablut 1,4641. ; secured ditto, 1 246/. ; asset , ---boutic debts, 5001., of which 2001. has been realised. _ _ Messrs. Pain and ffatherley, of Gresham-street, were solicitors to the fiat ; and Mr. Lawrance sup portvd the bankrupt. Mr. PAIN stated that Messrs. Tattersall, who were liability creditors to the extent of 1,0001, had honourably withdrawn their claims, and that there was no opposition to the bankrupt's certificate. He raised the point as to whether or not the expenses deposited by the bankrupt in respect to the certificate meeting, amounting to 21. 19s. lal , should be paid out or the estate, where there were assets, or by himeelf. His HoNona held that such expenses should be paid out of the estate where there were assets. The certificate in this case must be granted as of the third class. Mr. Pain, a few days since, made a similar appli cation as to the costs of the certificate meeting, upon behalf of the assignees of a bankrupt named Lewis, and with the same result. lie drew the attention of the Learned Commissioner to the words of the 198th section of the new Act, " that the Court should appoint such certificate meeting." INSOLVENT DEBTORS . COURT, Dec. 13. (Before Mr. Commissioner LAW.) A LONG IMPRISONMENT —IN RE MAJCR RICHARD IA TOLSON. In this case an application was made to set aside a portion of the half pay, of 7s. a day, of Major Tolson, who, it appeared, had been in prison for debt 17 years, and was still incarcerated. Mr. STURGEON, who appeared for the major, op posed the application, and mentioned that a schedule would be filed. Mr. COOKR, for the creditor who had obtained the vesting order, was willing that the application should stand over, en the understanding that the major would file a schedule. His HONOUR said, he had no doubt the present was one of those unhappy cases in which, atter a long imprisonment, the party vras at length compelled to come to the court. He regretted that the major had not applied 17 years ago. The matter stood over on the ground mentioned. (Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.) IN RE JOACHIM HAYWARD STOCQUELER. This insolvent, an author, applied to be dischaged, to which no opposition was offered. The insolvent, in reply to the Court, said that he had assigned the copyright of a work he had written to Mr. Flight, who had become guarantee for a portion of the expenses of its production. lie valued this copyright at 7501. 2,000 copies having been printed, which were sold at half a guinea each, would produce, after deducting 26 per cent. for the publisher's profit, about the sum stated-7501. Mr. Flight's claim upon the copyright was to the extent of 2251., the cost of printing, for which he had become responsible, and also 1381. upon a debt due to himself. The insolvent was ordored to be discharged. COURT OF INLAND RE VENUE, Dec. 13. Before HART DAVIS, Esq., Chairman, C. J. film- RIBS, Esq , and CIIA.RLES PRESSLEY, Esq.) _ . ILLICIT DISTILLATION-FURTHER CONVICTIONS IN IIEA.VF PENALTIES-TEIE QUEEN V. PITCHFORD. William Pitchford, of 76, Compten:street,Clerl;n -well, manufacturing chemist, was charged on an in formation, containing a great number of counts, with hiving in his possession and with removing and depositing spirits with intent to defraud her Majoty of the legal duty thereon. The court, as on the previous day, was crowded to excess by parties interested in the proceedings. The Court, after a short deliberation, gave judg ment against the defendant in the penalty of ],OOOl. soner. He had three rooms in a house near mine, where he resided with his wife and three children ; James, aged nine ; Sarah, aged seven years ; and Catherine, about eleven months old. Sarah died on the Ist of August of cholera, and the prisoner's wife the next day. They were in great poverty, but always kept it to themselves. The prisoner was a eery kind husband and father, and adored his children, and would submit to ar:xy hardship rather than leave them. After they died he was in despair. When his daughter was dead, he took her on his knee and said, "Is she dead ?" I said " Comp ese yourself, it is the will of God." After his wife died he was still more melancholy. I was with him from Wednesday until Friday, during which period the prisoner never slept at all. I left on Friday et ten o'clock, giving him the baby in his arms—the boy James was in the house. I laid the wife out, and he put the dead daughter by her side. I returned about two o'clock, but being unable to get in at the door, I got in at the window, and found the prisoner lying on the bed with his arm round his wife's neck, and his hand on her breast. Much blood was on the corpse and bed. James and Catherine were lying dead at the font of the bed. I got Dr. Gilmour to come in, as he was passito., anCe he sent for the poli ce . A razor was lyi ng on the hearthstone. Cross -examined—He kept talking to his dead wife, and said to the child, " 'nu are too faithful to survive your mother." John Gilmour, surgeon—l was called into the _ . Boner's house by last witness, and found the p r i soner on the bed with his thr o at cu t, - the wife and eldest daughter dead, and the two other children on the bed, their throats cut from ear to ear, which caused their deaths. I saw a razor covered with blood. John Cannon, a police-officer—l removed the priso ner to the hospital. When there he said, " For God's sake take me to my poor wife and children." Several other witnesses were then called, some of whom deposed to conversation and expressions of the prisoner after the death of his wife , and in the hos pital, all tending t o s h ow th a t h e hadi been deranged in his mind. At the close of the case for the prosecution, Mr. J. Poeeocx declined, after the evidence of insanity, to address the jury for the prisoner. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, said that the present was a most lamentable case, sufficient to deeply wound the feelings of all who heard it ; but the jury had to determine upon the guilt or innocence of the prisoner, without suffering feeling to enter into their minds, The question was, whether at the time the fatal act was committed the prisoner was in such a state of mind that he could distinguish the right from the wrong, and could appreciate the consequences of his act. The jury had heard the melancholy statements of the witnesses, and he would not harass the feelings of the jury by repeating them. The jury, in a short time, returned a verdict of Not Guilty on the ground of insanity. John Lee was indicted for having, on the 7th of September, wilfully murdered Thomas Richardson. Mr. Monk and Mr. Sowler prosecuted ; Mr. Jo seph Pollock defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner keeps a blacksmith's shop at Chorlton upon-Medlock, near Manchester, and that the deceased had worked for Lim. On the day in question, between three and four o'clock, the deceased had gone into the smithy several times, asserting that the prisoner owed him some wages. On each of the occasions of his so doing the prisoner put him out by the shoulder, and on the last occasion that he did so the deceased struck the prisoner a slight blow, at the titre the prisoner was heating in the furnace two long iron rods of about half an inch in diameter. Ile immediately seized one with each hand, and rushing towards the deceased, thrust at him with them, the result of which was that one rod went through one thigh, and the other rod through the other, completely piercing them through, both rods being red hot. The deceased cried out, " Oh, my God, he has killed me," and immediately fell down, and died in about an hour afterwards. The prisoner put the irons again into the fire as if to go on with his work, but shortly after went to fetch a doctor, and on his way met a policeman, to whom he said, " I have stabbed the man. Mr. POLLOCK addressed the jury for the prisoner, and said that the jury could only convict him of man slaughter. The two men had been guarelling, and in the heat of the moment, beir.g provoked by the deceased, he had made use of the irons which were close at hand. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, said that it was not very slight provocation that would justify a man in using weapons such as red hot irons ; if they thought the prisoner really intended to murder the deceased, or to do him some grievous bodily harm, they must find him guilty of murder, but if they thought that be seized the rods in a moment of passion, and simply intended to drive the deceased out of the smithy, and only to burn him slightly, they would convict him of manslaughter. After - a short consultation, the jury returned a ver dict of Manslaughter. His LORDSHIP, in sentencing the prisoner, said that he had never in the course of his experience met with a mere cruel case, and sentenced him to trans portation for life. _ _ (Before Mr. Justice TALFOURD.) John Lunt was indicted for having, at - Eccles, on the 19th of July, 1847, stolen a gelding, the property of John Chadwick and others. Mr. Cross prosecutedT . lllr. Monk defended the prisoner. The prisoner was not apprehended until the Ist of October last, when a policeman hearing a returned convict threaten the priscner with the charge if he did not pay 103., he touk him into custody. Mr. MONK addressed the jury for the prisoner, arguing upon the danger of trusting to personal identity. His LOEDStIIP summed up, stating that their ver dict depended upon the reliance they could place on the evidence as to the prisoner's identity after a lapse of two years. Verdict—Not Guilty. York, Dec. 12. Mr. Justice Cresswell and Mr. Justice Williams arrived here last night and opened the commission for the winter gaol delivery. Their Lordships this morning attended Divine service at the Minster, and proceeded at twelve o'clock to the Castle to try the prisoners. There were no less than 112 prisoners named in the calendar, 7of whom are charged with murder, 12 with rape, 13 with burglary, 3 with manslaughter, 2 with attempting to poison, 2 with attempting to murder, 17 with stealing from the person, 14 with robbery 9 with cutting and wounding, 3 with stab bing, 4 with arson, and the residue with offences of a less heinous character. Mr. Justice Cresswell sat in the Crown Court and charged the grand jury. (Before Mr. Justice CRESSITELL.) John Murphy, a hawker, 22, was charged with feloniously asssulting Henry Horner, and stealing a silver watch from his person, on the 16th of August last, near Thrisk, in the North Riding. Mr. Price prosecuted, and Mr. Overend defended. The evidence showed that the prosecutor's watch was found in the prisoner's possession, and that the prisoner then made a statement that he had bargained a quantity of waistcoat•pieces for it ; and that the prosecutor, having repented of his bargain, wanted his watch back, and had charged him with felony in order to get his watch, and had hid the waistcoats in a field. Toe fields were searched, but nothing of the kind was found. The COUNSEL for the defence said he was in trusted that the prisoner's statement was true ; and was proceeding to comment upon it as a fact, when The Learned JUDGE said that this course had long been settled to be irregular, and that he had no right, as a barrister, to state his instructions as facts. His LORDSHIP having summed up, the jury found the prisoner Guilty. Sentenced to be imprisoned for six calendar months with hard labour. (Before Mr. Juftice WILLIAMS A charge of manslaughter in a fight and several cases of robbery were tried before his Lordship in the course of the day, but were devoid of any interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Two young men, named Maddox and Burns, connected with the steam-boat called the Pink, which plies between the City and Ilungerford-bridge, were summoned before the Lord Mayor for having cruelly treated a dog. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Thomas, the secretary to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Mr. G. Scott, of Conduit-street, Band- street, stated that on Wednesday week he went on board the Pink, at London-bridge, for the return passage, and he saw a dog which had evidently inen left behind by somebody who had got out. One of the crew threw a bucket of water upon the dog and knocked it down. It then ran along the deck and took refuge in the fore-cabin into which the defendants followed it, one of them carrying a mop and the other a scrub bing-brush. After chasing the poor animal about the cabin, one of the defendants called out to kill the dog, and both of them struck it violently and knocked it sprawling. Witness said they were dis graceful vagabonds for so cruelly abusing the dog, but they merely asked him what right he 111 A to inter fere, and, determined to show that he had that right, he applied at the Mansion-house, and was directed to the society, the secretary of which at once undertook to have an inquiry instituted. He found a difficulty in obtaining the names, the captain of the steamer having refused to give them, although he acknowledged that he kriew all the circumstances. The secretary to the steam boat, however, at once supplied them. The LORD MAYOR—You might have given them at once into custody for cruelty to a policeman. There was no occasion for waiting for their names. The witness said he had no doubt it would be beneficial to the cathe of humamity that such a fact should be known, as the difficulty he alluded to no doubt operated in preventing many a prosecution. The evidence of Mr. S cott , i n i ts essential points, was confimed by that of Mr. Ralph, who observed the brutal manner in which the poor dog had been treated, and said the dog, upon being put ashore, was unable to walk, but dragged its legs along and howled most paeously. Three or four persons, wha belonged in some - way or other to the Steam Company, said, for the d e f ence, that the , young men were exceedingly - quiet characters, and that they had used no more violence than was actually necessary to eject the animal, which was every moment endangering its own life by getting amongst the machinery. They also stated that the dog, upon being pursued into the cabin, bit one of the .defemiants in the boot. The LORD MAYOR said there was no doubt what ever as to the correctness of the charge, and fined the defendants each in the penalty of 10s. and costs. Ills Lordship hoped it would not be forgotten, that it was in the power of any person who saw cruelty inflicted upon an animal to give the assailant immediately into the custody of a policeman. Mr. Thomas requested that the moiety or the penalty to which the society would be entitled might be depdaited ,in the poor-box, according to the estab lished ;usage with respect to all penalties inflicted under ?similar circumstances. WORSHIP- STREET. Mr. ;James Eliot, solicitor and vestry-clerk of St. Jude's, : Whitechapel, was brought up from the House of Detention, to which he had been remanded, in de fault orzureties, on the preceding day, upon the charge of using language of a violent and threatening ten dency towards Mr. Alfred Bowers, a surgeon, in the Curtaineroad, Shoreditch, who had furnished one of the medical certificates, upon which the defendant had been dectained as an alleged lunatic in the Whitechapel Union workhouse. The complainant, upon being sworn, said on the evening of Monday last, whilst seated in my drawing room, I beard a ring at my surgery bell, and proceeded to the door, on opening which I observed the d-Andant and a young man to whom I was a stranger; the former of whom said that be had called for a Bible which hie bad previously lent to me. I invited him to enter, which he did, and I went to an upper room to procure the Bible, with which I returned an d pl ace d it upon the table. The defendant then raised it and ex claimed in an excited threatening, " This book once knocked down a policeman, and if you don't mind what you're about, it shall knock you down also." The de endant,:with increased vehemence, afterwards added "I curse you and may all the curses in the Bible rest upon your head. I shall include you in the action I am about to commence (alluding to the action he had threatened to bring against the parish authorities), and I will sew you up." After repeating the same binguagr several times he at length left the house, and I saw no more of him till about twelve o'clock on the follt'wing night, when my night-bell was violently rung, and at the same time I heard the sound of a violin playing at my door, accompanied by a voice, which I then recognised as the defendant's, singing a psalm or hymn. After a short interval the ringing at the bell was violently renewed, and on going to the door I saw a man playing on the violin by the side of the defendant, who was standing in the front of the rioor-way singing at the height of his voice. The defendant had a paper in his hand, which he kept flaunting before me, and, continuing his singing, at length flung the paper into the passage, and, shaking his fist •in my face, swore at and cursed me as he had done on the former occasion, exclaiming, " I'll make you smart for it; look out fur squalls," and ' then abruptly quitted the house, leaving the paper I now produce. The witness handed in the paper he referred'. to, which purported to be a summons to give evidence issued from this court, and drew the magistrate's particular attention to one portion of it, which be stated that he knew to be in the defendant's handwriting. The defendant denied that he had done so, and begged to explain in reference to his allusion to knockin4g the constable down with the Bible, that although he certainly adverted to that circumstance during his interview with Mr. Bowers he had no intentiean whatever to resort to violence, an 1 should be able to produce evidence that he had never uttered the threats the complainant had so positively imputed to him. James Warren, an Irish journeyman tnilt.r, was next emined, who stated that he accompanied the defendant to the h9use on the occasion referred to, and that although the latter certainly called the com plainant a blackguard for traducing his character, he heard none of the threats deposed to by that gentle man, and did not observe anything in the defendant's conduct; to induce a reasonable apprehension that he intended him any personal injury. ARNOLD said that the matter resolved itself into a mere question is to the credibility of the two witnesses, and as the complainant so positively de posed to the utterance of the threats on the part of the defendant, whose witness merely went so far as to deny having heard them, he considered that the charge had been fully established, and he should therefore require the defendant to put in substantial bail, himself in 50/. and two sureties in 301. each, to be of peaceable behaviour for the next three months. Requisite sureties were entered into, and he was thereupon liberated. NOTICE, MESSRS. CFIAPMA.N and HALL twg to an nounce that the Socond Volume of the Cheap re-issue of the Tales and Romances of W.

THE QUEEN V. WRIGHT. Benjamin Robert Wright, of Nos. 27 and 28, Cantle•street, Oxford-street, oil and colourman, was charged on a similar information. The Court convicted him in the penalty of 1001. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Dec. 13. (Before Mr. Justice WiwiTmAN.) Patrick Joseph Catkin was indicted for having, at Liverpool, on the Ist of August last, wilfully mur dered Catherine Calkin. Mr. James was counsel for the prosecution. Mr. Joseph Pollock was as.ligned, by the Learned Judge, as counsel on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. JAMBS. in • opening the case to the jury, said that the crime they had to inquire into was committed under the most heartrending circumstances ; but he would in the outset state that the main question would ultimately turn upon the point as to whether the prisoner was sane or not when the deed was done, and that if they should think he was insane sit the time he would be entitled to his acquittal. The prisoner at the time was in extremely poor circumstances, but a respectable man, a schoolmaster by profes sion. On the Ist of August he was living with his wife and three children, in a small court in Liverpool. The elder child, James, was eight years old; the second, Sarah, about seven; and the younger, Catherine, eleven months. When the cholera was ravaging the town of Liverpool in the fall of the year, the prisoner lost by it two whom he dearly loved. On the Ist of August his daughter Sarah on the 2d, his best friend, his wife, died; their death caused him the deepest affliction, and he said he was tired of his life, and could not survive the loss of his wife if he could that of his child. lie was receiving parish relief and in great distress, the poor neigh bours doing what they could to comfort him. A neigh. bour, Mrs. Kane, remained with him,i n the h ouse a f ter his wife's death, from which time he refused all food. On the day of the murder she left the house about ten o'clock, placing his youngest child in his arms, the wife and eldest girl being laid out on th e bed. Mrs. Kane returned about three o'clock, and not being able to get in at the door she got in at the window, and then the melancholy spectacle presented itself—the poor man stretched out on the bed with his throat cut, one arm being round his dead wife's neck, and the other on her breast. The boy and baby were lying at the foot of the bed quite dead, their throats being cutfrom ear to ear. A surgeon who was passing was called in by Mrs. Kane, and the police shortly followed. The prisoner was then taken to the hospital, and, from his manner and conversation, the jury would have to decide whether the prisoner was sane or not. The unfortunate prisoner, who is a most respectable looking man, was overwhelmed with grief, and cried bitterly during the speech of the Learned Counsel, and indeed througl , out the trial. The first witness called was— Jane Kane, a widow, who said, I know the pri- THAMES. James Ilughes, described as a cooper, aged 48, and Daniel Budd, 39, who both refused to give their ad dresses, were brought up in custody of Police sergeant Kelly, No. 2 11, on a charge of stealing five sovereigns, the moneys of Mr. James ➢lettam, the landlord of the China Ship public•house, in Littl• Ilermitrge•strcet, Wapping, and also with burgla riously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mr. Woolf Harris, clothier and outfitter, in Upper East Smithfield, and stealing therefrom twelve sove reigns and other property to the amount of 501. and upwards. It appeared, from, the evidence, that the prisoners had recently paid several visits to the China Ship, and generally remained in the club-room on the firbt fiJor, which is level with the bed-room, from which place Mr. Mettem had more than once missed sove- reigns and other property, but the prisoners, who had the appearance of tradesmen or shopkeepers, were never suspected until Wednesday afternoon, when they again visited the club-room with another man. They ordered refreshment, and for some time afterwards one or other of them was continually running clown stairs to the bar, to have their glasses of spirits and water replenished, and on being asked why they did not ring the bell, made an excuse they did not like to give tht landlady or her ecrvants the trouble of running up and down stairs, and they also said they did not hear the bell ring. The tcmale servant having occasion to go up-stairs to change her dress, heard the bed-roasa door opmed, and saw Hug' ee close to the club-room door, with a glass in his hand, looking tow ards the bed-room. He imtneJiately ad vanced towards her, and said, " Go and fill that glass again." She ran down stairs, to her mistress and communicated what she had seen and beard to Mre. Mettam, who, on ascending the stairs, met Hughes The bed-roil]] door was °pep, and Budd was leave g it. There was another man in the bedroom. She immediately raised an alarm, and called out's Thieve P, l thieves." The prisoners rushed down stairs, and endeavoured to pass by her. Mrs. Mettam boldly seized Budd, and forced him back. Her son and pot man almost immediately came to her assistance, and they were soon joined by the landlord. In the con fusion one of the robbers made his escape ; and Budd, after a desperate struggle, got away from Mrs. Met tam, rushed up-stairs, and jumped out of the window into the street. Ile was again seized by Mr. Pannell, a master butcher, and secured. Hughes made a violent resistance, and was eventually overpowered by Mr. Mettam and his son. While Budd was struggling, he threw at his feet a large bunch of s keleton keys, of the best description, capable of opening locks of any description. Two picklock keys, a wax-candle, and some lucifiers, were found in the club-rooom. Mr. Mettam exami , :ed his bed-room, and discovered that a desk had been forced open and five sovereigns abstracted. No money was found on either of the prisoner=, and it is supposed that th e ir confederate tool: the gold away with him. When the prisoners were brought to the station hou,e Sergeant Kelly said that Budd was fixed this time, on which the prisoner said, " Yes, I know I am. It may be your turn one of these days ; we are none of us in-. fal ible—don't laugh at me." Sergeant Kelly pro ceeded to the China Ship with the bunch of skeleton keys, and was enabled to open the bed room door with one of them with the greatest ease. He also opened the door of Mr. Harris's shop with another. Mr. Elias Harris, son of Wo3lf Harris shut up his shop on Friday evening last, at the commencement of the Jewish Sabbath, and, upon returning an hour ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION, - REGENT-STREET.

This very interesting event, appointed for tomor row, creates very considerable excitement in the sporting circles, and is looked forward to with more than usual anxiety. The Cambridge gentlemen ar rived at Putney on Monday, and immediately took a turn over the course selected for the great trial of skill and stamina, which they repeated on the two following days, on the latter of which they rowed the distance against a crew of eight picked watermen, and defeated them by three lengths. Their exertions were watched by many friends and eager observers, and their style and pace were the theme of general admiration. Speculators were upon the qui vive, but loth to do any thing until the work of the rival crew had been scanned. The Oxford gentlemen put in an appearance at PutneY on lirednesday night and yesterday. Both crews were afloat, the Cantabs, however, only taking a turn to Chiswick Eyot. The rowing of the Oxonians, although evidently differing in style from that of their opponents, was also pronounced by good judges to be extremely fine, and so evenly do the rival crews appear to be matched, that the cognosenti, with the best desire to make investments, are at a loss to know which to choose, and the betting may be considered, with very few exceptions, strictly even. The following is a list of the crews : OXFORD. Messrs. J. J. Hornby, Bra zenose. CAMBRIDOS. 1. MessW.TA7Eßaldrey, Ist Trinity. 2. 11. P. Welles, 3d Trin. 3. A. R. de Routzen; ditto. 4. C. J.

Woodhouse, Exeter. 4. J. W. Chitty, BAliol. 5. J. Arthur, Exeter. 6. Steward. Oriel. 7. Sykes, Worcester. Rich, Christchurch—stroke. Cotton, ditto—steerer. They are all extremely fine fellows, a n d a ve r age a trifle more than University crews ordinarily, being at the rate of list. 51b. per man, exclusive of the steerers, and there being scarcely lib. difference be tween the two crews, with the exception of those who are to handle the yoke-lines, but in that respect the Oxford steerer is considerably lighter than the other. Both crews have the appearance of being in admirable condition, and although neither party hold the pre tensions of the other cheaply, both appear most confi dent of success; and, from what has been seen of them, there is every reasonable prospect of a struggle of the most gallant description. The distance to be contested is from Putney-bridge to Barker's Rails, Mortlake, and the time named for the start is half past two o'clock in the afternoon ; and for the infor mation of some of our readers, it may be as well to state that the Cambridge oars blades aro light blue— those of their opponents dark blue. Citizen L has been chartered by the Messrs. Searle, and the Childe Harold by R. Coombes, the champion of the Thames, with other boats, to accompany the race.
