From cm, and THE MONTAGUE-PLACE MURDER BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY. ) The Office was to-day perhaps more crowded than on the previous examinations, and the street exhibited the usual assortment of mobility. Twelve o'clock was the hour fixed on for the examination, and shortly afterwards Mr. HALLS took his seat, and the . prisoner, William Jones, was brought in. Me appeared perfectly unembarrassed, and was dressed m a suit of black clothes. His appearance was con sideribly improved since his last examination. Mr. Butler attended as before on his behalf. Mr. HALLS-Now, William Jones, I call your particular attention to the statement which was taken down from your own dictation on 'your first examination. . • - The prisoner bowed, and Mr. Stafford, the Chief Clerk, read the statement, which was dated the 14th Jan., 1828, by which it appeared that the prisoner went to lodge at the house of Mrs. •Stapleton, :33, Mitre-street ; he believed on the last Friday in the laSt year. The lodging was taken by Charlotte, with whom he had been living for about seven or eight months. He saw her last. on Saturday, the 10th at a public-house in White Lion-passage. He first became acquainted with her in Fleet-street ; she was prostitute. On Monday the 31st of December he went to the Adelphi theatre, in the gallery, and saw part of the piece called " Nelson,' and a pan tomime. Went from Mitre-street straight to the theatre, over Blackfriars-bridge, and up Fleet -street, without meeting any person whom he knew. He did not see any acquaintance in the theatre. Believed that he left Charlotte at home alone. Had about two shillings in his pocket, which was Charlote's money. Stayed in the theatre during the whole of the per formance, and did not go out at all till about half past twelve. \Vent over Blackfriars Bridge home alone; thinks that the landlord let him in ; upon re collectio❑ Charlotte might have been out when he went out himself; Charlotte paid for the first week of the lodging, which was with her own money; had not given her any money for some weeks; had not borrowed any money from any person ; had sold some duplicates for about 28 shillings, and had told Charlotte that lie had borrowed it. Had cut his thumb in cutting some wood with a sharp knife against his breast; believed that Charlotte was pre sent, had tied it up with a piece of tape ; had seen Mrs. Jeffs twice in Montague-place, once with Mr. Knight and once with his daughter, and had not seen her since; saw her once before at Mr. Knight's house in the Cornwall-road; had borrowed the coat 115 had on of Mrs. Williams ; had pledged his own coat ; it was his collar which Salmon produced. Mr. HALLS then asked the prisoner if he had any explanation to make of the facts in that statement which were contradicted by the evidence. He replied that there was ample room for that statement, but he would prefer leaving it with Mr. Butler. He had nothing to state. Mr. HALLS asked if he had any objection to sign ? He replied that he had not; but on Mr. Butler telling him that it would be on his own re sponsibility, be declined doing so. Mr. HALLS then said that he should commit the prisoner on a future day, and should adjourn the ease till Monday week, to give him an opportunity of fully answering the charge. DREADFUL FIRE-LOSS OF LIVES. We regret to have to record another destructive fire, attended with the loss of several lives, which took place this morning at about twenty minutes past two o'clock, at a low public-house in the rear of Clare-market, near the passage leading into Portugal-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, called the White Horse, and kept by a person named Hum phries. The house has been built nearly two centuries, and has been for many. years in a very dilapidated state, al though every room in it was occupied by poor labouring people and their families. About two o'clock a woman named Griffith, who lodged in the third floor, arose and went out washing to the house of Mr. Sentance, the grocer, in Clare-street, at which time, she says, there was not the least sign of fire, but there was a light to be seen in Mr. Humphries' bed-room, on the first floor. Mrs. Griffith had not been away above twenty minutes, before the intelligence reached her that the house was in flames, so that it would appear beyond a doubt that the fire originated in Mr. Humphries's chamber. The watchman, on perceiving the flames, pro ceeded to arouse th e i nma t es , i n which they succeeded, and a scene ensued that baffles description :—*omen and their children were seen at the windows imploring most pite ously, the assistance of the persons in the street, but alas none could be rendered, as the devouring element was spreading its ravages with alarming rapidity around them. Mr. Humphries, the landlord of the house, upon being awoke, leaped out of his bed-room window, a height of thirty feet, luckily without sustaining any in jury; he then with great fortitude stood tinder the burn ing pile, and called upon his wife, who was standing at th e window with her child in her arms, to throw the babe d o wn to hint; this she did, and the little innocent was fortunately caught by its agonised parent, and'saved from the ravages of the conflagration. Mr. H., with great pre sence of mind, and at the risk of his life, rushed up stairs again, and catching his wife up in his arms, succeeded in extricating her also, and took refuge in . a neighbour's house. The next that escaped was the pot-boy, who rushed through the flames into the street, in which act he was very much scorched. The different fire-engines arrived on the spot in aheut half art hour, and commenced playing upon the flames with great activity, and the fire ladders of St. Cle ment Danes were raised to the second and third floor win dows to assist the unfortunate lodgers in their escape, but we are sorry to say only a few were enabled to escape by them ; others jumped out, by which they received many severe injuries. One young woman, named Fenus, who lived in the third floor front room, and who had a child to nurse, first threw the infant into the street, and then jumped out herself. We are sorry to say she was killed on the spot. The infant escaped with a slight contusion. About twelve o'clock another body of a female, who wax called Irish Mary, was picked out of the ruins, burnt to a cinder. The following persons lodged in the house, and are now lying at the workhouse : rederick Price, aged 52, much contused. Ann Hutchins, 51, slightly injured. Jane Hutchins, 19, threw herself out of the thiud-floo:. window, and her life is despaired of. Mary Hutchins, 9, escaped in a state of nudity, much injured. Ann Griffith, 14, broken leg, and otherwise much injured. Win. Richards,- 6, and Ann Richards, IS, were rescued in a state of nudity. An infant, which has not been owned, is much hurt. There are several others s o seriously injured that their lives are despaired of. No cause for the sad catastrophe can yet be formed. We hear that Humphries is insured.

FISH.MARKET, BILLINGSGATE. This morning's market exhibited a fair, but not a very large supply of fish.

In the earlier part of the oyster season, it was generally conjectured by the proprietors of the oyster beds, and was in fact intimated to the dealers, that the beds would not furnish a sufficiency of those favourite shell-fish to supply the year's demand ; but it appears, although the arrival of oyster smacks at Billingszate during the past week has been limited, which has caused the advance in prices, there is still a great quantity of well-fed beds as yet untouched. COUNTRY CORN MARKETS.

JAcssoN, •in his work on fever, pronounces that the web of the spider prevents the recurrence of febrile paroxysms more effectually than bark or arsenic, or any other remedy employed for that purpose. It is admini stered in pills. The web should be that of the black spider found in cellars, and dark and damp places. INFANTICIDE.— A great excitement has been occasioned at Chalford, by the discovery, on the 23th inst. of the body of a new-born female child, in a privy. Sus picion attached to a young woman named ELIZA GREGORY, who having been at work as usual, was consequently or dered to attend the inquest, when, and not before, she complained of being unable to appear. The opinion of a medical gentleman having been taken, she was carefully conveyed to the house where the Jury sat, who, after a patient investigation, returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against the said ELIZA GREGORY. The execution of the Coroner's warrant has been suspended until she shall be in a fit state to be removed to Gloucester.—Cambrian. TILE WARWICK BANK ROBBERY.—Tno- ALAS FORD, a respectable looking man, residing in Park street, was charged with havin g in his possessi o n a nu m b er of the notes of the Warwick Bank, which were stolen from the Warwick mail, in London, a short time ago ; Mr. GREEN %val . , a partner in the Warwick Bank, wits the first witness examined. lie detailed the circumstances of the robbery, as stated in the papers at the time. A boy named DYKE, who lives in Park-street, stated that on Saturday, the 26th ult., the prisoner, who was a neighbour of his, desired him to get a 51. Warwick note changed, which he did at Mrs. Ilalicocx's, and on the following Monday he gave bias another 5/. note to get changed at the same place, which he also did. On the some day Foan gave him two more 51. notes to buy groceries, and four 10/. notes to purchase various articles at different shops in the town ; and he told DYKE, if any enquiry was made re specting the notes, to say that they came from Tirostas Foan, Carr's-lan e . DYKE succeeded in making the pur chases required, and gave time goods and the change to Fora.. He was stopped at last, however, at Mr. SeUDAllinttes, druggist, at the corner of Edgbaston street, who perceiving that the 101. note offered was one of those stolen Irons the Warwick Bank, he had DYKE apprehended ; when he stated he received the note 'from FORD, and the latter was then tokon into custody.— The different tradesmen to whom the notes had been passed were examined, and identified the notes produced as being those they received from DYKE, the numbers of which cor responded with the numbers taken down in London, as being part of the notes stolen- Mr. G. EDMONDS, who attended on behalf of the prisoner, asked Mr. GE.Extiwav if some of the stolen notes had not been returned. Mr. Gazisiwav said he had heard that part of them had come again into the possession of the firm, but they were not re-issued. Mr. EDMONDS was pursuing the cross-exami nation, when he was stopped by the Magistrates. Mr. Nantii, one of the tradesmen favoured with the custom of Foal), said that his shopman showed him the note which DYKE tendered in payment, and asked if it was good, when Mr. N. told his shopmnan that it was a very. good one, for they had compounded the felony, and all was right now. Mr. Nanitti was instantly stopped in this part of his evi dence, and was told that the compounding of felony could not be heard of there. --The prisoner was remanded.— Birminyham Journai. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 9.—On Tuesday, the Jaseur, 18, Captain Edward Handfield, arrived from the South American station, to be paid off, having been nearly four years in commission. The Jaseur, just previous to her departure from Rio Janeiro, traced the coasts down from St. Blas round Cape Horn to Rio Janeiro, and had very line weather, having run 24,000 miles without meeting a gale of wind. The Jaseur left Rio on the Gth of December, and brought specie for British merchants, estimated to amount to 892,548 dollars at Rio. The following extract from our Correspondent's letter furnishes the latest intelligence from that quarter : " RIO JANEIRO, DEo. 6.—The Zephyr packet is hourly expected to arrive here from th e River Plate, with some new proposals for peace between the con tending parties for the possession of the Banda Ori ental. If the Brazilians should obtain their object, they will not be permitted to hold possession long; the moment the Buenos Ayreans and Monte Videans can raise the sinew s o f war, t h ey wilt return to the combat—for it must be their po verty, not their will, that could induce them to consent to give up one inch of that territory. The want of money is almost equally felt here; no thing but paper money can be obtained, and that is at a depreciation of 40 per cent., nod Exchange on London at. 32 per Milrea note. We hear that dis turbances have taken place at Bahia, in consequence of the scarcity of specie, the local copper currency there being refused; shops were shut, and all busi ness was at a stand. The Emperor's reinforcements continne to arrive—two transports, with German soldiers, for body guard, arrived on the 4th inst.; and swarms of Irishmen and women, seduced, as they say, by Colonel C—, from Ireland, are wandering about the streets, inveighing against the Colonel for having imposed on them, declaring that they are starving, and praying to be taken on board English men-of-war. The Buenos Ayreau Admiral Brown has been lately cruising off Rio six weeks; and Captain Faconnier, in a Brazilian brig, is now cruising off, having just taken a vessel (a launch), with supplies, going from town to Raga Island, and cut out a coaster, from under Santa Cruz. The Brazilian corvette Masco, and brig Independencia Morcea, were lately lost in Patagonia Bay, at the entrance of the River Plate, and 175 souls perished. " The Ganges (flag-ship) will sail on the 15th inst. to relieve the Thetis, at Monte Video ; the Forte, for Bahia and Pernambuco, and on her re turn to Rio, will replenish, and relieve the Gauges. The Heron is to remain here until relieved by the Thetis. The Volage is expected to leave Peru next month, for Rio and England. The Lady Welling ton ttanspott, with condemned stores and invalids from the Squadron, will sail for England about the 10th instant. The Orestes transport is discharging her cargo of provisions here ; she will go round the Horn." The Jaseur brought for the Naval Museum at Haslar Hospital, from lir. John Hamett, Surgeon of his Majesty's ship Volage, the bodies of an abo riginal Peruvian female and child, which the Doctor discovered in a desolate spot near the desert of Arica. The place is known to have been disused as a burying-ground as far back as the first landing of the Spaniards in Peru. The bodies are described as being in a high state of preservation, with the co vered dresses in which they were originally interred. The Jaseur sailed yesterday, for Plymouth, to be paid off. Letters from Malta, dated January 4, state that the Cambrian had been relieved by the Isis, and was to come home immediately ; the Isis had gone to the Isle of Grabusa (near Candia), to destroy a horde of pirates. The Philomel had been sent to Alexan dria, with two vessels under convoy, and was also instructed to renew every kind of friendly inter course with the Pacha of Egypt. This morning the Revenge, 78, Captain N. Thompson, sailed for Lisbon, to take troops thence to Malta; and the Melville, i 4, Captain Henry Hill, for Lisbon, to bring troops to England. The trans ports, Active (Lieutenant S. P. Pritchard), Chris topher, Lotus, and Alexander, also sailed on the same service; and the Amphitrite, Lieutenant Ward, for Plymouth, to take a division of the 60th Regi ment to Cork ; and the William Harris, Lieutenant Stevens, with stores for Ascension.

During the late violent gales, the perambulators of Portland Beach have picked up valuable bars of silver, gold, and other coins, which have been thrown up from the various wrecks on that dangerous shore. —Hampshire Telegraph. On Saturday afternoon much curiosity was excited in Millbank-street, Westminster, and thence to the new palace building in St. James's-park, by the appear ance of a double-bodied and strongly constructed waggon, drawn by a team of no fewer than twenty-three horses, conveyiug one block of marble. It appeared to he about 22 or 23 feet long, between 5 and 6 feet wide, and about 23: feet thick ; it was roughly squared. So great was the burden, that the horses were halted to rest nearly every five minutes. During the last week several blocks of marble have left Freeman's Wharf for the palace, each drawn by teams of 16 and 18 horses. These ponderous blocks of marble are said to be for the magnificent archway that is to front the new palate. FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

THE SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS Our city article mentions another snuffle in the management of the country bank paper, upon which we trust the House of Commons will keep a watch ful eye. The substitution of 2/. and 3/. notes for those of If., it seems, is to be imposed upon us. If the Minister agrees to this,—Mr. Peel especially who stands pledged to a specie circulation,—he disgraced for ever.—Tinies. We insert another letter trotn cur correspondent Lambda," not because we agree with him as to the course which it becomes us to follow with re gard to the ministry of the Duke of Wellington, but because—although he is angry when we are not, and premature when we are patient and no less cre dulous in anticipating evil from the Duke of Wel lington than others are in pledging thernselvee against the possibility of such evil—we haefe nes re luctance to give the country a full knowledge of time materials for suspicion and vigilance, which, in the judgment of able men (and such is "Lambder), the chief of the present Ministry and his ancient colleagues afford respecting their future policy, by a reference to their past achievements. Suspicion eamaot be too strong. The mind of a free people is never so healthy as when distrust of its rulers prede , urinates over every other sentiment ; but distrust is widely different from headlong condemnation, not merely without direct evidence, but in the teeth of all the evidence which bears upon the case, and without the form of a trial. If we are asked what around th ere i s f or i mag i n i ng t h a t th e D u k e o f W eih!igton and Lo r d Bathurst will act differently i Bathurst nowthe line they comparatively j u i e o d on der Lord Li ver p oo l , we answer , that as to for Ministerial r:11 : s misconduct. The'Duke of Welling ton is said to have admi tte d hi m f rom con sid era ti ons arising out of his recollection of the war in Spain, dining which the present Lord President of the Council was the War Minister of this country; huS his Lordship is now in an easy chair, where he may amuse himself with turning over the histories of the Cape of (ilood Hope, and of the Cenadas ; the Go vernment will co on as if he formed no pan of it, But for the Duke himself, we delay our opposition, because it is more than possible that we might op pose him wronefullys We believe (and if he de ceives us, his Grace shall hear of ir) that he will not break his word to Mr. Ifitskispon,—that be will support such a corn law as Mr. Huskiseen would have carried, if he could, last Session,—thet he will give a fair Finance Committee,—that he will main , tain the Greek treaty ; and the corresponding policy, —that he will assert the rights of England and bar citizens upon Spain,—and that he will raise no tor tuous or underhand obstacles to the progress of the Catholic Question. If we are called " silly and shallow for such expectations, we are candid at least in expressing them, and shall be equally so in pro claiming our disappointment: But there is a short and simple ground of belief that the Wellington Ministry will not adopt the unpopular branches of that of the Liverpools and Eldons, viz. because re dares not. The national feeling, matured by the last twelve months of keen speculation and bold discus sion, has become too strung and stern to be played with. The Ministers may be improved, although as men they Nvere incorrigible ; but if they disappoint the country, they " will hear of it ;" and with that we leave them. Many explanations ere still want ing; but they belong more to persons than to prin zcoaipovldeensseuffs:ssetrited l o lt a l p le as y rhdr m o7 u : st be wrung front the acmes n o both sides in the recent changes. Aithotigh we h " Lambda" t o d raw us into these observations, d and vi writer who c a ll s himself " Ithuriel' must have the us: his vapid p a e r t } i d like col t w L e a i t t c o; abuse we beg time gentleman t o k ee p f or t h e enter tainment of his own faction, whoever they may be. The framers of the Belgian Code complain of being unable to derive aid from neighbouring coun tries in their task, and observe in particular, with respect to England, that its Government and Laws are .in subordination to the interests of Lawyers, With all submission to the Belgian Deputies, we think they might have derived great aid from the Laws of England, on the came principle that a man eften improves himself more by reading a bad book, than by reading & good one. The reader who takes np a book of high character, and ably written, is ape to resign himself blindly to the guidance of his in ,tructor; 'whereas, the detection of absurdity anel , false reasoning gives the reader confidence in him self, and stimulates him to the vigilant exercise of his reasoning powers. In this way the Laws of England, and the administration of them, would 'arm an admirable schooling for Legislators, for every itep they proceeded, they would discover absurdities abuses, of the existence of which it would be inpossible for them otherwise to form an idea, but which might, notwithstanding, be extremely ser viceable to them, in the way of putting them on Their guard. In Sir _Dudley North's Life, see are told that the Law of Turkey has " a strong Analogy with our Common Law (of England.) l'he Alcoran bath few or no express ceeee cre rules, such as, being plain and direct, deserve to be termed Laws; but a world of jargon and rhapsody of words which may be wrested to every one's fancy, and that sense which the !earned in former times have taken is the sense of the Alcoran, and consequently the law. To bring this to a system applicable to the promiscuous deal ,llgs of men, the Doctors have tormented the pooe text, and their successors have tormented their works, by interpretations and comments; and when new cases happen which neither text nor comment comes up to, yet the Judge determines according to the law of Mahomet ; and that is the sense of the Alceran, as with us it is ancient custom, though nothing of either is to be found respectively to square vith it. But the numerous and perpetual contro versies and law suits wherein the sentences of the judges have been commonly observed and known, have established a body of law . , . and, as I said, it is become not unlike ours, a sort of Corn inon Law." Without, however, wishing to depre r-iatc the wisdom of the ancestors of our a ovient ns awake. It will Allies, or to question their utility for the purpdos above alluded to, as there may be some difficulty in obtaining a Turkish Law Library, our he Belgians, may perhaps find the Laws of England W e do not mean luite sufficient for the purpose. to say that they ought uniformly to foilllow .our decsc ee n fo owe ntfis epposite to that which has b end themselves i n r!ountry : but whenever they fo the same track with the English lawyers, neighbours, they ought at all events to have their singular if they discover a single fraction which has directly for its t h eobjectht good of the public. If the Spartans were t aught to love sobriety by the -pectacle of drunker!,_,, 8 3 . the spectacle of a ration, like the . 1 !g .11 ". submitting to the most the" in every .nonstrous a boni department of law, cannot be w i t hout its use. In every sense the ex • i s valuable. perience One of the most valuable derived, is lessons to be e o ur cue of the . ease with which man accommo -lates himself in time to the grossest abuses, habit suspicto eecoming, as it were, a second nature. But if the Belgians would benefit by a study of our laws, we c annot help thinking that our Legislators might bene , - it also riot a little by looking elsewhere for examples their embarrassments. We observed in the Bir flingliam papers lately, the Resolutions of a General Quarter Sessions for the county of Warwick, i n which it was stated, " That one of the chief causes if the increase of crime h tso ugliout the kingdom, i s he treating of the boy of tender age for a first of. :nice, and that of a trifling nature, in the same man ner as the most hardened offender for offences of treater turpitude; and by thus making no distinc ion b etween the two, all hope of amendment is cut ,ff in the juvenile delinquent, by deadening, at the artiest age, all those feelings of shame and corn „Action which are the best ground-works of reform .nd amendment.
