MORNING EDITION. POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE . MORNING JOURNALS. The Morning Post of yesterday, in a leading article on t i ne subject of the Irish Poor-law, observes as follows:—" The ex amination of witnesses at the bar of the House of Lords, re specting the conduct of the Irish Poor-law functionariei, proees more and more clearly as it proceeds, that an unprin cipled attempt has been made to apply the machinery of the Poor-law in Ireland to political and party pnrposes." The Morning Chronicle, alluding- to the question of Church-rates, and the imprisonment of William Baines, says Are we to be astonished that the case of William Baines has produced a great sensation, not only in Leicester, but throughout the country? In L e i ces t er h e h as b een returned to the Town Council by the most important ward, containing nearly 20,000 inhabitants, since his incarceration. Nearly the whole of the municipal authorities ef the place have petitioned in his behalf. Were the impost less objectionable in its nature, the means by which it is enforced would alone render it obnoxious. When men of exemplary lives are sudjected to the pun ishment which awaits the vilest criminals—merely be cause -they hold in regard the dictates of conscience, the best fee!ings of our nature are in arms against the proceed ing." The Tinles thus expresses itself on the subject of Lord Ponsanby's late diplomacy at Constantinople :—" We believe that at this critical juncture the British Ambassador at Con stantinople has deetended from the dignified station of the Queen of England's representative, to share the vile animosity of the Turkish Ministers towards their defeated enemy. But the animosity, which is at least natural to their race and their position toward; Mehemet Ali, is odious and contemptible in the heart of a British nobleman, who ought to be as much a stranger to the passions of an Oriental. Court an to the crooked a titices which belong to the diplomacy of some other Euro pean Cabinets. But Lord Pensonhy has exceeded the Turk in violence, and the Russian in ifrigue." FROM THE EVENING PAPERS uF IESTERDAY. ( From the Globs ) We have so often expressed our opinion on tho Church rate quest:on, that the debate which arose last nisitt in the House of Commons on the case of Mr, thine - 5 of Leicester, now a prisoner in the gaol of that town for nor-payment of a Church-riste, might be allowed to pass without remark frem us, seeing it presents nothisg new in the way of fact or illustration to distiagaish it from the many fernier debate; on the same quest on. The questi in—et-ipued of the extraneous mat te:, and extricated from the e itang!ernents with whist) the bested passions of the contending parties have embar rassed it—resolves itself into a simple form. To the Church it is proposed, whether it be net expedient for the character of the national establishment. which must depend for its efficiency and ultimate stability on public opinion, to promote the abrogation of this obnoxious law ? The attempt to carry a rate in vestry is accompanied by " a rife and dcbat ',and smiting with the fist of wickelness." The arena of contest is the .` house of prayer"—the presiding officer is the iniaister of relgon, the clergyman of the parish the chief debaters are the fiercest of the professors of the rival creeds., who are attended by their respective parti- Z3ZIS : these import into the controversy the elements of theological hate, quickened into violence by the attempt to ascertain from the result of the pending contest the ekairces of sueeess'in future pcd,tital struggle Need we de isciEe the scenes of tumult which such collisions must pro ,- duce, or the injury which 7-e . ligisu. in its spirit and character, must sustain, and of which the Church, in i s institu-i•ms, and esrgy, come in for by far the largest share ? Then Come.? the enfoi cement of the rate upon those who plead inutility from pave; tv, or disiaclina inn from c ete ieue ocjections ; the seizure by warrant of di-tress of som. article of wretched farnitere from the strug gling lei low or half-captured a:tizsn, who, with thii • sympethisi• g neighbours, regard the deprivation as an act of epp.t-aloe, and too readily conce:vc an aetipathy to the Church, if not to religion generally, because of the inconve.iience and loss ti which they have been sus - by the law which deprived them of their table cr chaie, perhaps their Bible or bed, f6r its support. (From the Standard.) It is moat desirable to direct the attention of :S.° country is that which was the subject of the conversation upon M-. Rice's unsuccessful motion last night, the necessity of pro viding a capacious lis.rbeur of refuge far merchantmer, and of roe dezvoue for ships of war, at some place in ti Channel. This great c Immerciel and naval State has at present but three harbours in England suitel for ships of wai:Oltymouth, Portsmouth, and Sheerness, and none of the,e is in a position adapted for military purposes. The immense commerce of-London, too, has to be conducted throng's a labyrinth of banks which the boldest and most skilful oes not encounter without anxiety its the darkness of night, or in foggy or tempestuous weather, but which, nevertheless, he must encounter at present, if at night he arrives near the mouth of the riser. The Downs, it is true, afirrds protection it some winds; but in a wind from the south or south sot.thseas', or any point between, the Downs is wirnout shelter. Is it right that there should be no • harbour of rendezvous for ships of war be twe.sn Po: tsmouth mid Sheerness, exactly the most acceseib'e part of the coast to an invadieg enemy, and exactly th it part of the coast from which we could most effectually molest an enemy in turn? Is it right that the carnm"rce of London with the whole world, end what we may the 'gore call the commerce cf the world, should remain in its present state of exposure to danger? Nearly forty years ago ths subject engaged the attention c f Mr. Pitt, and all that has occurred within the inte:val gives r ason to regret cl,eply that the exigency of the totes disabled that great in in from realising the design of defending England by a capacious deep-water harbour at the narrowest part of the Channel, whi eh it is known he entert.ined. The introduction of steam navigation, which must in future bring every contest of naval powers to close qtyters and t, a short issue, boss ever, leaves us How, if v.e see our interest or our danger, almost without a choice. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS CF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—Some attention has been drawn in the City to the ,ituation in which the, Illinietry are placed relatively to the South Australian Commissioners in the affair of the proposed guarantee of the loan of 210,000/. It is observed, that when any party is in a state of moderate credit mils', and stands upon his own responsibility, the terms on which he still be able to raise money for any given purpose will vary according to the degree of belief in his means and resources, but that the else will be moot materially altered if it should turn out that there is another party willing to endorse his draughts, who may be said, is comm-n parlance, to be " as good as the Bank of Eng land." This is an exact parallel to the case of the Treasury and the Australian Commissioners. When they brought for ward their original propositions for a loan, no hint was given, because no authority of the kind then existed, that the Go vernment would become guarantee for the interest and re payment. The terms acceded to were, therefore, exactly what the credit of the Commissioners, and the probabili• ties of success in the undertaking on which they had entered, would justify. Now comes en, however, the period of danger and difficulty, and the Government, being hard pressed on the matter, are inclined themselves to adopt the debt._ As this ought to ha ve bee n f oreseen at the ti me i t was commenced, as the natural consequence of an unlucky ter mination to the whole adventure, the guarantee might as well have beet mixed up with the original transaction, in which case the sneney would have been raised on much better terms, and the Govtrnnaent would have had much less to pay, both for principal and interest, then they will have by adopting the debt now. This is a similar blunder to one on a larger scale, committed at the time when the All ante Greek Loan was eee goiated, when stock was created at par for the Fnglish por tion of it, with the guarantee of the Government, who were at the very same time raising mon• y for their own purpeses on belies of Ee e h equer Bills it 3 per cent. or less. Hence it follows that the question of guarantee should either he rail -d at the time of the original con.ract, or that it ,hould be resisted altogether; with this precaution, that on all occasions where the public might be disposed to expect a guarantee, some distinct and public wanting to the contrary should be given. This is the substance of the remarks current in the City on this subject, and it is hoped that they may be found useful to the present and all fu ure Chancellors of the Exchequer. The meetMe of the Bank proprietors to declare the half yearly di, ideal, which to o k plac e this morning, was as muc h t d ,. s . tguishee as any that have preceded it for the disposition iiteraa any attempts made to penetrate the mystery which enwraps the tranmetions of that institution. A dividend of 3)1 per cent. for the half-year was declared, which it was ex pected, as usual, th e hav ing the eliehtest datal! troPrict ors were to assent to w ith ou t hav oertam whether that amount weretoo Tise ascertain much or too 1 til e . motion of a proprietor that the meet ing shou!d be adjoarnecl for tors should eoy themsel'v7 would 's week, during which the Diree in preparing an intelligible balance sheetshich see what they were about, was sientable the prop r i e ta r y t o mense majority, but ther e was evidenot?l yt.r:jected by an ira a motion could be scarcely m eant l arn h e s ,t feeling th a t suc h motion conveyel no more th an a desire to doAnd yet the away e with the absurdity of a prop ietary yielding implicit obediene • to the proposal of the Direct ors, wi t heut knowing whether such proposal were right or wrong—without having th e slighseesa, basis ace riling to which a conc lu s i on might be formed. _ It is needless to adi, that the proposed divelend \Val acc e pted without a dissentient voice. A motion tilt to reform sy.steite of electing the Di ectors, by furnishing proerte treatetßy „i 4 as lists of a number of eligible persons, waslikewise something almost ridiculous, as if the prese nt l a ced' The ques tion plan w e re so excellent that every alteration must be misplaced. is not whether the motions brought forward be expedient in their de: ails or not, which would come out on a little consider ation, but what reader s these meetings . resnarkable is the desire of crushing at once and unexamined, eve •s y proposalso which in the slightest degree savours of alteration.? that the proposer of any measure that would have for its object the clearing up of any mysteries, or the reform of elections, has nit only to meet the strenuous opposition, but almost the ridicule, of his co-proprietors. The explanation given by the Governor of the losses sustained by the Bank by the late failure of one of its Directors appeared to give satisfaction, when it was ascertained they did net exceed 10,0001. All mention of the Committee of the House of Commons seemed to be studiously avoided, though the mere hope of advantage might have tempted some of the proprietors to make some inquiry, as it is now well understood that one object of the Bank is to become the sole issuer of dom. After what has occurred, it would be a general disap pointment in the City, whatever may be thought of the • prin ciple itself, if the administration of it is confided to be to that body. At a large meeting held at Blanchester on the 15th inst , to take into consideration the rep' on the import duties, and to petition Parliament for their re p ea l, reso l u ti ons were carried, to the effect that the meeting regarded with satisfaction the appointment of a ; i h iernentary Committee 'o of m at it exaaaine into duties so injpiriou s im el it cantile returns„ yisgarded a, imo litic all dates on the iaaportation when ever found to have the tendency to 1 the ecnuneree ; that im port duti4 s ought to be leAietl fttr ;:os, s of reverue akoe ; that raw material sliotall enter fre P e '-ir on n nd that the haws affecting provision ; have operated injuriously . great rn,,, s of the people. The feeling generally seerned to be, that much opposition was to be amicipsted from a vari'ety an o d f interests, panieularly those of the East and West Indies, 1 4 ' pi,ilantbropists, who would see an encouragement from to the slave trade in a reduction of import duties on certain articl es , but that it was th e d u ty o f Government not to loek to part' len lar Parties. A petition has been sent by several parties connected with the spi r i t trade to the Treasury, the Admiralty, a cid the Boa r d of Trad e , that an Admiralty order may he rescind_ ed which rollibits the use of spirits duty free by the officers of the navy The arnment used in the petition h, that such a measure can be of no benefit to the revenue, as the officers can purchase spirits duty free at the first port they touch, so that the British dealers would be the only losers, and that to a large extent, while, if the measure were intended to promote temperance, it. would be found equally usel ess for the same reason. The Treasury and Admiralty have both returned a refusal to this application. So far the measur e is one that cc• ncerns the' dealers only, but it is also rumoured that the officers of the navy have expressed great disatisfaction at the order, and that //i,~ J , I they consider it offensive to their feelings without being at• tended by the slightest benefit to any one. CHRONICLE.—The favourable impression produced by the news received by the Columbia from America, has led to a further improvement in the funds to-day. Rumours arc alluded to in the Madrid letters about a new financial project, whereby an advance of 90,000,000 reals is to be placed at the disposal of the Treasury, 42 millions to be applied to the payment of the interest on the capitalised cirupons, and 42 millions besides to provide for current exigencies. " Borrowing," as is observed by our Madrid Correspondent, " is the panacea for all evils in money matters amongst Spanish statesmen." We expect no permanent advantage to the bond holders from any scheme of that kind at present. The only means by which Spanish credit can now be effectually restored is by the completion of a commercial treaty with this country, so as to admit British manufactured goods and raw iron at a moderate duty of about 25 percent. It is acknowledged by men of all parties who have paid attention to the subject that this is the true remedy for the disease in Spanish finance, and that its adoption would speedily improve the custom revenues of that country to the extent of fully two millions sterling per year. We have frequently entered upon arithmetical details to prove the reasonableness of this computation, and shall not take up space to-day by repeating them. We will not sup pose that it is neemary to do so, to impress the truth upon the successor of M. Gamboa, but trust that he may be a per son of sufficient sense and discrimination of character to urge its immediate importance upon the Spanish Cabinet. We have been informed that the principle makes some pro gress, and if the Spanish Government find that they cannot cdo- Cain money on the old hand-to-mouth system, there is little d)ubt that necessity, which is a great reformer, will at length open their eyes to the propriety of adopting a more liberal commercial policy. If that object were once obtained the army place I upon a peace footing, and the gross abuse and rot tenness extirpated which at present pervade every department of the collection of the Spanish revenues, we should not de snair of seeing Spain resume its place among the na'ions of Europe. But unless the Spanish Government have sufficient strength and purity of purpose to grapple with corruption, and to strike boldly at those class interests which keep their trade and enterprise b3und down by the fetters of feudal monopolies, it would by vain and illusory to deludc the bondholders with any sanguine hope of an early or lasting improvement in their pre sent unfortunate condition. POST.—An almost total calm prevailed at the Stock Ex change this morning, and the same absence of excitement con tinued up to the close of the day's transactions, the business done being of very little importance. The Committee of Spanish American bondholders, anxious to promote to the utmost of their ability the interests of the English claimants upon the Governments of the new world. and to obtain for them, as they have done in the case of Chili and Venezuela, at least a partial settlement from the neigh bouring republics, met again this morning. The intelligence ( in the first instance communicated from Mexico, was considered satisfactory. The stipulations entered into by the Government of that State have been strictly fulfilled. The Treasury cer tificates being now almost entirely paid off, there is every probability of large remittances being made, so that the dividends may henceforth be punctually paid in London. The news from New Granada could not be called encouraging. The recent, and rather extensive, disorganisa tion has materially reduced the means of this division of Co lombia, and the correspondents of the Committee much ques tion the ability of the Government to pay more than a mere l per cent. for three years, on the portion of the debt allotted to it. It is to be recollected, however, that a sum of 50,0001. on account of the Republic is understood to be already in London, and why Senor Mosquera, the Commissioner sent over for the purpose, does not appropriate the money is a mystery that de mands explanation. No late information from the Equador has come forward. The Chairman of the Committee, E. R. P.obinsz.n, Esq., has addressed an energetic letter to Senor Moreno, now in London, on the subject of the debt of Buenos Ayres, and the reply of the worshy Envoy is daily ex i eeted. The clrims on the Argentine State are fortu nately not so heavy, but that, as in the case of those on Chili, something, in the way of reimbursement, may be anticipated after a delay of fourteen years. Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co., are not likely, it is thought. to let the matter remain in abeyance, now that the blockade is no longer to be pleaded as an excuse for insolvency, especially as the late adviees"lead to the anticipation of the complete overthrow of Lavalle and the Unitarian forces. Peru has no representa tive at present in London; but the c'aim on that republic will, in common with others, be urged with all possible zeal by the Committee. Senor Pazos might, with propriety, be made the medium of communication with General Gamarra. He repre sents not individuals, but the State of Peru. It transpired that the Government of Guatemala had transmitted to the agents here a considerable freight (not yet arrived) of tobacco, to be realized and appropriated to the payment of the claims of the bondholders. On the whole, a much more cheering pro spect begins to open to the creditors of the South American States than has been visible for many yeas past. ' LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, MARCH 19. JEW V W000..--JUDGMENT. The MASTER of the ROLLS gave judgment in tl.i; case, and said that as he considered it to be a proper case for interpleader, he must refine t dis charge the order which had been made for tl-ie injunc tion. He had wished tc have stated at length his view of the several CUSS which were cited in the argument, but considering the sbortniass of the time that remained before the Assizes, and that the de fendants might very tatur.l:y desire to have the decision of the Lord Chancellor upon the point, he had thought it more important to give his opinion at once than to bike up further time in order to stale hii view. upon al the cases that had been cited. A similar order was made in the other cases. arovaNg V. THE ORIENTAL AND PENINSULAR STEAM RAVI. CATION COMPANY.

This was an action brought to recover 101. 63., the amount of a tailor's bill.

Mrs. Appictlo, the mother of the dt f;ndant, wai and proved that her son had no resources beyond cert Lin pocket money allowed him by his father, and that he was not of age when the principal part of the work was done. They had a contra-account against Sheil, and if the ac counts were balanced, the sum of 7s. 31 only would be due to him. After hra-ing other evidence, the jury found a verdict ror the defendant. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MARCH 18. Tne Learned Chief Commissiorer was unab!e to resume the sittings, and W. Ntcnonns, Esq., has been appointed a Commissioner pro tem. by the Home Secretary. A LUNATIC. A somewhat important question in lunacy a-ose. The insolvent Kidd had been art omnibus proprietor, at Ham mersmith, and had been declare] to be insane. He was now coLfir ed in Whiteerosr-3trect prison, and a person named Bail,y had petitioned the Court for his discharge. Tc-,ley ct as appointed for tie hearing of the application. It gas proposed, on the part of the creditors, to call wit nesses respecting books and property, which had been in the possession of the prisoner. The COUNT acquiesced, and ordered them to be called. The eviierice if farce persons named Hockly, Clarke, and Powell, gent to show that account-books had been kept in the omnibus business, which realized 801. a week, and a profit was made of 20/. There we e4l h :nes and several oninitiuses. A person named James Clarke had sold the property under an execution, and after the Cresco had been paid he bad reeeivod 2001., and was now a loser te, he said, some extert. Powell had lent the insolvent some money, and he afterwards gave him six horsey far his debt, which be accepted. Tl.e books were in the posses sion of a female, or the rephew of the insolvent, who bed man-ged his business. They would be forthcoming; and, in fact, had not been filed, because there was no sche dule, nor were books or.3ered, in lunatic cases, to b. filed. The COURT adjourned the cese null! te-morrow for the books, when the discharge, it is understood, will be granted. LOAN SOCIETIES. .—Two persons who had become sure ties to loan societies, Pere heart'. They stated tl-an they had no means of paying the money for which they had be come answerable. The Coui told them they had ceed dishonestly in being swain when they could not pay the money. They were not opposed, and were ordered to be diiehargel. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

She then, it appeared, bit him, and in the scuffle she fell to the ground, and injured her head so se verely that she died shortly afterwards. The Jury returned a verdict cf Guilty, and Baron Parke, on consideration of his having already been in prison several months, sentenced him to a further impri sonment of one month. OXFORD CIRCUIT_STAFFORD, 3.1 - Ancir 17. Matthew Fowles was indicted for the wilful murder of Martha Keeling. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased, who was an old woman (a widow), of 60 years of age, kept a small eating-house in the town of Nee castle, undes-Liee. The prisoner, who is a young man, 22 years of age, had for a short time previously to the 17th of September, lodged in the house of the deceased. She bad no other lodger. On the night of Wednesday, the 16th of September, the d. - ceased, who was a strorg healthy woman, was seen alive and well in her own house. The prisoner was also shown to have been in the house the same evening, and some of :he witnesses deposed to having seen in the window of the sh o p, at t h e sate time'a newly-dressed fowl. On the following morning, the house not being opened at its usual time, the suspicions of the neighbours %sere excited, the police were sent for, and the house entered about ten o'clock, the back door being forced open. Upon going up-stairs the old woman was found in bed, quite deal, ling on her back, her hen& crossed on her twee, and eviderit marks of hands upon her tt roar. The sur geons whe examined the body distinctly proved that death had been occasienel by strenguletion, and there were various marks upon tee body showing that there had been a cansiderab:e struggle between herself and the murderer. A silver spoon was found in her pocket, nerd a man's nigh - cap was upon a chair by her bed side. A mahogany box in the room opposite to tee bed-room of the deceased was found broken open, and various articles of prop: r.y in it were missing. There was only one other bed in the house, in which one person only appearei to have sle e t. The fowl also was missing from the shop window, and the prisoner was not to be found. Evidence was give: to show that in the course of the Wednesday t . e prisoner had agreed to purchase a pilet coat of a tailor in ,he town, named Jackson, and had promised to call and pay fur it at seven o'clock the same evening. di I not come accerdiug to his appointment, but on Thursday evening, about four o'clock, he called upon Jackson, it then raining heavily, and making an excuse fur not hav ing come the previous night, paid bile a half-sovereign f. r the pilot coat, which he put on, aid went away with, stating that he was going s' on the tramp," for that wages were low at Newcastle. Ha was identified by another person, who met him in the street shortly afterwards, and it was shown that a little before five he enter el a cottage on the road from Newcastle to the Whitmore station on the Grand Junction Railway, in which cottage he stayed about 20 minutes. While there, Ile pulled a dressed fowl out of his pocket, ate a part of it, and gso the rest to the cottager; he wad seen in the same cottegs take a purse vi h three sovereigns out cf his puck t. ael a large handful Of silve., which he counted. Ile then proceeded to the Whitmore station, which he reached about six o'clock, and after inquiring the fairs to different places, at first said he was going to Liverpool, but afterwards changel his mind and proceedel to Bi-- mingimet by a first-class train, though the inspector told him if he would wait till nine o'clock, he might go fer several shillings less. The guard of the railway train proved that the prisoner, on the same day (Thursday) re turned front Birmingham by a first-class train to Hart f, rd-bridge station, which is two miles distant from North wick, where it was shown he had formerly resided. The Prisoner's track was closely followed by the police, and on the night of Friday the 181 h, (the day following the mur der,) he was apprehended at Davenham, two miles from Northwieh. He was told that he was charged with the murder of an old woman as Newcastle. tie protestel his inneeence, and said that he hal never slept at New castlo at all. In his pocket was found 11. 10z. 63. in silver, and in his waistcoat pocket a pin and a ring, both of which two nieces of the deceased stated their belief had belonged to thrEr aunt; and i:, appeercd that there were marks on the fingers of the murdered woman as if a ring had been forced from it, with which marks the ring toured on the prisoner exactly corresponded, After hearing other evidence the Jury found the pri soner Guilty, and the Leareed Judge sentenced him to Dente stating thit no reasonable man could doubt that the Jury had come to a rght conclusion ; and that no hope of mercy could be held out to the perpetrator of so foul a crime. The prisoner, xsho is a young man of 22, descrilnd in the calendar as able to read and write well, showed little appearance of emotion during the trial, and asserted his in nocerem to the last. CURIOII3 CASE. —Catherine Edden was indicted for perjury. defendant, who is a young unmarried woman, give birth to a child on the 9th of December last in the Tim.. worth union workhouse, where she had been obl;ged to take refuge, and being brought before the guardians about a month ago. she charged Mr. Thorneloc, the prosecutor in the case, with beirm,the father of the child. The usual application was accordingly made to the Magistrates in Petty Sessions for an order of afiiistion on the prosec,:tir, and upon his appearance before the bench on the 2.1 Febrtrsry ' last the defendant swore that the illicit intercourse which had rendered it necessary ti make that application to the Magi:tr,tes took place on the 25th of March, 1340, at her mother's house about four o'clock in the afternoon. According to her statement the prosecutor dinel there on that day between one and two o'clock, and her brother Je seph went after dinner to fetch her mother home from D tr. ton, seven miles off, front which place she did not return til six o'clock in the evening. The prosecutor called his servant, Jane Gee, to prove that he dined at home on the day in questim, and that he did net go to Mrs. Edien's till af.er two o'clock; and two persons, of the name of Bond and Sherratt, stated that Mrs. Edden was at home when they went there, about two o'clock ; that they left about three, and that the prosecutor went away Mare them. A man named Jackson was also called, who deposed, in contradiction to statements made by the defendant on her cross-examinati iv, that he ha 1 been admitted to criminal familiarities with her, and, upon the testimony thus adduced, the Magis trates refused to make any order. Mr. Thorneloe then indicted the defendant for perjury, and upon his examination as a witness to-day swore that no improper intimacy had ever sub•isted Lecsveen them, and contradicted the other parts ef the defendant's st ,ternett heft.re mentimed. On the ether hand the second witness railed to support the case for the prosecution swore as positively, though with less vehemence, that the prosecu tor did dine at Mrs. Edden's on the 25th of March, and that he calved for the comp a ny, an d s h e stste l that Mrs. Edden was not at home during dinner time, and did not return home till about six o'clock, when her son Jo'oph brought her home. The witnesses Gee, Bond, and Sh r ray., called by the prosecutor to prove his cause before the Magistrate, were not in attendance tr-day, and when tie man Jackson was called, Mr. C. Poillips objected tha: his evidence could not be received upon technical grounds. The Learned JUDGE held that the evidence was inad- -- • mistible, and the defendant wa3 accordingly acquittel NORTHERN CIRCUIT—YORK, MARCH 17. IVillianz licpwor:h, 22,; was charged with the wilful murder of Ann Scorah, at Swinton, and George East wood. 21, was charged with aiding and abetting in the said murder. '1 his case occupied the Court fir several hours, but the plit;eipal facts lie in a small compass. On the night of the 28th of January. the prisoners, who were drunk, knocked at the door of the deceased, who had no sooner opened it than she encountered a volley cf stones. She shut the door ; whereupon a second disehaige of stones was heard thundering at the door. Secrah then snatched up en old gun and rim after the assailants, when wounds were inflicted on her person, whereby de:tit was caused. The JUIME did not think there was a case of murder against Oiler of the prisoners, but left the case to go to the Jurv. Mr. ROEBUCK addressed the Jury for the prisoner ilep snr.ls., eM; that there was no evidence to shom that ow was eiven to the old woman by him. Mr. WILKINS then addressel the Jury for Eastwood, of er which several rcs . pectade witne3ses were called, who gave the pr's;ners good characters fur humanity. The Learned JUDfir. summed up, after which the Jury almost immediately found Hepworth Guilty of Mar.- slAughtcr, and Eastwood of aiding and abetting. Toe prisoners were then sen7enced to be imprisoned for two months in the Castl). Sit PETER Laum—They escaped, and I dare say per suaded you to join in the affair? Prisoner—They escaped. I woul I rather say no more on that subject. I have suf fered the penalty of the law, and I came out on the Ist of March, and have been walking abt.ut ever since, for no body will employ me. Sir P. LAURIE—Poor boy I I believe there are thou sands in the same condition. What is an unfortunate fel low who regents the first act of detected dishones'y to do? Every one is afraid to employ him, and he cannot lie down and starve. I believe the tviderzc3 given by the Chaplain to Coldbath-fieldsprison, who sail before a Parliamentary Committee, that he never lost sight of a prisoner a't e first introduction to prison until de ith or transportation i tcrfvred. Prisoner—l am clesirous of going out of the country, my Lord', and I know of no other way of getting ouP, and I trust that you will kindly assist me. Sir P. LAURIE-I shall commit you for trial, and repre sent your case, and I hope that you may be treated merci fully. Woch—Lii3 conduct in ptison has Len quite a pat:torn 6 others. Sir P.

He was proceeding with ti the Compter, when the prisoner got suddenly quit: black in the hoe, and his throat frightfully swollen, arid, after retching vielontly for some time, the s'. piece dropped from his mouth.

Thursday James Chapman, aged 23, respectably attired, was charged by Edward Henty Chapman, Esq., of Harin gey House, flornsey, with having entered his house with intention to commit felony. The prosecutor stated that he is a county Magistrate. On Wednesday nigh., about half-past seven o'clock, he was sitting at dilner with his family, when his attention was attracted by a noise at the ball-door, as if some one was attempting to force it open ; wad subsequently a loud ringing at the bell, when the servants informed him that the priso. er had attempted to break into the house. He instantly proceeded down stairs, an found !hi prisoner in the 11111, con lucting hims'lt i i a wild and incoherent manner. Ile could not say what the intention of th.: psi. saner was, but the Northumberland Asylum for Lunatics being within :hie° miles of Harihgay lions-, he concluded that the prisoner might have made his escape from that establishment. Sergeant Williams, 44 N, stated that the prisoner when at the station-house conducted himself in a cool manne., and gave his name. James Chapman, but in the morning he assumed madness, and indulged in theatrical antic , .. Witness traced his father to be living at N.. 3. Felemi terrace, Stoke Newington. The prisoner after being locked up continued whistling and singing. Witness be that he went to the house for an unlawful purpose, and that he was no more in id than he was. Mr. GREENWOOD (to the prisoner)—What is your name? Prisoner (looking vacantly)•—Za ze-z; zo-zuni. Mr. GREENWOOD—Nonsense, that is till put or. 'I hit prosecutor said that when the prisoner was seized by him and his servants, he r:sisted violently, and broke a pane of g'ass with his hand, which was severely cut in con sequence._ `the prisoner's faller, a coachmaster, tere stepped for ward, and stated that he never knew him to be insane, but on Monday morning last he read the Bible, whet he no ticed him to bt. very melancholy.

Mr. GREENWOOD (to the prisone )---What have you to say ? Prisoner— Za-ze- zi-z )-zum.—( Laughter. ) Mr. GREENWOOD said :hat he was inclined to believe that the prisoner could not be in his proper senses, and thought the parish officers of Hornsey should be sent for, in order that he might be examined by the doctor. and passed to Hanaell Lunatic Asylum.

Mr. GREENWOOD tried every effort to make him give an exil.triation of his extraordinary visit ti the prosecutor's house, but nothing could be elicited from him but Z z zc-zurn; and Hall, the usher, was ordered to proceed o Mr. Tatham, the Vestry Clerk of 11Jrnsey, who at leaded, when it was arranged that the prisoner should he exarciaed by A medics! gentleman, is order that it ought be ascertaine I whether the prisoner was ye filly insane, or assuming, realness; and he was ordered to be detaiaed in tie stati.m-house till this day. WORSHIP-STREET. A few days since Mr. Campion and friends came to this Court to compliin that having made an excursion into Essex last week, they engaged and pail for their return in the evening by Mr. Wragg's Waltharnstow coach. They paid- twelve shillings for a party of eight, ex pecting that they were to have fr:e occupancy of the coach, and when it was ready they t)ok their places, four inside, and tLe rest out. It appeared, however, that other re-- sons bad booked for inside planes, and the driver lila ted upon eject'ng in their f vJur such of the complainants as preferie I the interior, and to put the whole of them out side. To such an arrangement they objected, whereupon thu driver detached the horses and put them to an omnioua, in wLich he drove off to town with his other pa;aengers, and left the complainants to kick their heels in or upon the unhorsed coach. After basing been some time ex pe2ed in this ridiculous position, they procured another conveyance to town, and subsetpently came here to charge Mr. Wragg or his peop!ewi.h taking their money under false pretences. A summons was granted against Mr. Wragg as proprietor of tLe coach, and the hearing of the case took placo before Mr. Brought in, the Magistrate, who, after much inquiry, f-,and that the 12s. certainly had been received on con dition of conveying the complainants to town, which had not Le en done, and he decided, t erefore, that Mr. Wragg amounting to lie. more. must return the 12s. and pay the costs, ate :: : :::::: no :t p r I E y r N e V v r. t e Ar r iy .

The v. ? n t . e i now on the stocks at Leith has been the admiration t.f all competent judges who have visited her, both fre. the beautiful proportions of her figure, and for the prodi pious strength and solidity which is imparted to her prin cipal joints. Her Stern is round, instead of square. which has an agteezble effect on the eye, and by allowing the plaeleir.g to be brought down the whole length of the ship, gives greater so!ility to that part. From each of the principal beams, diagonal supports of wood , others of iron, run in every direction, lapping over one another in some cases to a thickness of fifteen inches.

Thursday afternoon about three o'clock, as two men, of fashionable exterior, w ho were in a gig drawn by a spirited. horse, were proceedisg along Hounsditch, the animal, frightened by a sudden new, started off at a fear- 1 ful rate towards Aldgate.
