When at Lady Pilkington's, had heard that it was Mr. St. AulaYn's 'first visit, and believes it was his first acquaint Ince with Mrs. Tyrell ; Mr. Tyrell was not there. Mrs..= Amy: Clark deposed, that she lives at Chehns.. ti;ral, • and. had visited Mr. and Mrs. Tyrell twice at Fitz- place,.and oncec at B oreham. If ad on each occasion sifiyed threa,luttaqopilve days together ; the last occasion was in :May .1825:1 MrS• JailPt Clark had visited them fiegnently nt Bore= ham, and. they appeared to live most happily. Wittier! thought Mr. Tyrell a most affectionate husband. Witness liven in the neighbnurhood, and had seen them very often. Sir John Tyrell examined by Mr. Sergeant, Wvbur.— Resides at Boreham. The plaintiff is my eldest son: I was prent at his marriage, and frequently visited him at Fitz-place. They had five children, and always appeared to live on the best terms. Had lost my wife in the Christ atas.of the year 1825, and some time after I proposed to them to come and reside with me. This was assented to, and Mrs. Tyrell appeared much pleased at the arrange ment. They came to lies witlCane about a year and quarter ago, and lived with the until the day Mrs. Tyrell quitted. They lived on the best terms, and no mistaler standings except when the children were ill, anti then an altercation has taken place sometimes relative to their treat ment, but not such as I should have noticed had I not been called here to give evidence. He was very anxious about the children, and Mrs. Tyrell seemed to think Lim 'inns ceasarily so. Their affection, however, appeared to be unabated. The age of the eldest of the girls is about six years. I never saw Mr. St. Anbstn. Mrs. Tyrell was in the habit of going to Chelmsford, and generally drove there in poney chaise, of which she was extremely fond. Her visits became more frequent to Chelmsford about a fortnight before she eloped. I generally went with her, and was at. :ended by one servant. We seldom remained together at Chelmsford, but each went on our own avocations, and met again to return. Mrs. Tyrell quitted Boreitam on the 19th of November 1827. I called on Mrs. Terell iu the breakfast paclour, and asked her •to go to Chelmsford, it being a very fine day. She said she should be happy to go, as she had some very particular business there ia paying some bills. We went and Mrs-Tyrell drove uncommonly flit. I told her I was in no hntrk - ,and there was no occasion to go so fast ; we separated in Chelmsford, and I was desired to call for her at Mrs. Phil lips's, a sister of Mrs. Clark. There was no hour naraed. She said if I did not find her there she would have walked on homeward, as the exercise would do her good ; I called at Mrs. Phillips's to take her home between four and five o'cloek, and found ske bad not been there that day ; I then went home and found she had not retuned ; upon that I met sly son cooling from hunting with his brother, and he was alarmed on being.asked where Mrs. Tyrell was ; I then I went back to Chelmsford and enquired at all the shops and places where she said she would call, but could get no intelligence of her. My son was greatly agi tated. I gained some intelligence of her three or four days afterwards. I made no inquiries about her personally after, because I felt dissatisfied at her conduct. It was supposed that she had either gone to her mother's or her sister's. Three or four days afterwards I saw a woman coming crying to the house, and from her I got the first intelligence of what was become of her. I then came to London. Cress -examined by Mr. Sergeant Cross--Mrs. Bennet lived about forty-three miles from me. My recollection is that Mr. and Mrs. Tyrell generally differed about the children's diet and medicine. Recollects the DoCtor sa v ing that the eldest daughter should dine at on e o ' c l oc k; an d not six o'clock in the evening, but that was after Mrs. Tyrell went away. 4I never recollect Mrs. Tyrell remonstrating with her 'Milhaud for harshness ; indeed I always thought his conduct kind and affectionate. , My son was about 24 Years of age when he married. Francis. Jaunay, the proprietor of the hotel in Leicester 'square, deposed that a gentleman and lady came to his hotel on.the 20th of November, in iv - hackney-coach. They came with a servant. . It was inae evening, and gave the name of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson.' - They engaged a suite of apartments—two bed-rooms, a drawing-room, and dressing room. They communicated one with another. Remem bers the second day after they came, a gentleman (-ailed and -asked to see Mr. Johnson, having first asked for a description of the persons of both the lady and gentleman. Witness showed him up. Thry went away on the 24th of the same month. - Mr. Thomas Archer—ls well acquainted with Sir John Tyrell.. Is clerk. to the Magistrates of- the Chelmsford division of Essex. Came to town on Wednesday, the 21st o f November, in consequence of a communication from Sir John Tyr-ell ; remained two days in town, and then went to _Woodford, and on his return found Mrs. Tyrell at • the _how() of Mr. Jaunay, in Leceister-square. Went there with. Mr. Charles Tyrell and Mr. Mules. Went up stairs and saw her in a Mom in company with Mr. St. Aubin. I told her that I waited upon her from the family below(meaning in Essex ),and said I was sorry to be the bearer of a message, the importance of which she must be aware-of. She was confused and could -not speak, upon which Mr. John St. Aubyn, waved his hand towards a glass door, and she retired. He then offered witness a chair and re tired after Mrs. Tyrell,- hut returned in about two minutes. Witness said, "I believe, Sir, I am addressing Mr. John St. Aubyn," he replied, " That is my name." He ap peared to be about 34. or 35 years. " I said this is a very u npleasant-business that brings me to you. Colonel Tyre]) has sent me to take, if possible, Mrs. Tyrell from this place. I am deputed by Mr. Charles Tyrell and Mr. Mules, who are in the house, to request of you that they may have private communications with Mrs. Tyrell." Re said, " He did not believe that Mrs. Tyre!! could 'es th e m." Witness advised him to ask her, which lie did, and on his return, he said that her spirits would not enable ter to see them. Witness then advised him to let her retire to another house, where she might remain unmolested for a few days. He said he could ao t- do that. Witness said "then coercive ' mea sures must be used, and sbe will he taken from you." He said, that would be very foolish on the part of Colonel Tyrell, and the laugh would he against hint. lie also said, that Colonel Tyrell had no reason to complain, for he had got a - good fortune, and he (St. Attbin) had got his wife. He added, " I cannot give her np, and she will never part from me without coercion. If I was to do so, The laugh would be against me." Witness felt disgusted, and said, " This is not the answer I should have expected from one under such circum stances." He said he had done nothin g to blush for, and added,- "If I had sneaked down, and taken away one of the daughters for the sake of her fortune, they might have bl ame d me , ,, Wit ness spoke to him of Mr. Mules, and said he had then Mrs. Tyrell ; and he said that was the worst part of the cue. He felt that his cooduct must have hurt that gentleman very much. Witness then said, " Upon the score of morality, surely, you ought to feel something." He replied, with a ssniie, " My notions of morality differ greatly from those of many other people in the world." Witness then said, " You are a clergyman, and I understand a beneficed one." His answer was, " Oh, I know all about that ; that is one of the chances I have to encounter. I did not enter into this battle without calculating some of its risks. I then told him I must retire to those gentlemen below, as I could do nothing with him. Cross-examined, by Mr. Sergeant CROSS.—I am a con veyancer. I once kept the prison at Chelmsford. I have been a conveyancer for twelve years. I believe I have s tated the whole of the conversation between myself and Mr. St. Aubyn. Mr. St. Au d mbyn.ie somesaid,thaotthAerlr. Tyrell bad not used hi s wife well, ap observa tions to the same effect. He said that she had never loved him, and that he had used her ill, Mr. C. Tyrell wrote a note to Mrs. Tyrell, to which she returned an answer. Witness saw that answer at the time, but had not seen it since. Mary Carr is chambermaid at Jaunay's hotel. Recol lects Mr. and Mrs. Johnson coming to the house. They lived together and slept in the same bed. • Mr. S e rg ean t WILDF then put in a l e tter from Mrs. Tyrell to her husband, directed to Wakefield, and then changed t o Fitz-place in Essex, and dated May 4th, for the 1825. It - was a mo s t a ff ec ti ona t e l e tt er , an d was put in purpose of showing the falsehood of the statement of St. Aubin, that Mrs. Tyrell had never loved her husband William Jackson deposed that he is waiter at the Crown lon, at Ongar. Remembers a man coming in October to the Crown in the character of a pedlar. He had a basket on his arm, and had a long beard: Witness thought there was something genteel about him in his manner and speech. He asked for accommodation and a bed, which he got a fter some ( +Acuity, for -Mrs. Freshwater did not like to take him imt He was shown into a good room, and in the- morning he hired a -horse and gig, and Went 'away towards Epping. Ongar is on one of the roads from London to Chelmsford ; w itness observed his bench, which were like a gentleman's; witness afterwards saw the same man again, but he was t h en dressed like a gentleman ; this was , about ten o'clock or , a Sanday, and he came in a. carriage with post-horses a nd a servant ; he said he wanted fresh horses the next mo rning to go to Chelmsford ; he went and witness did no t see bins afterwards. Joseph Battey, the post-boy, deposed, that a gentleman carne to his house on a Sunday in November ; and on Monday witness drove him to the Bull at Ripple. He bad a servant with him, who rode behind. He told wit ness to follow him on the Chelmsford road in about a guar efA.4 WV ) 4114 1914 444 to ht puctut it two ecicyk, at One Bridge Water; witness went there, and was told to go farther, and wait at the top of the bill for the gentle man ; witness soon after saw a lady and gentleman coming, and he was told to turn hack again ; the lady and gentleman got into the chaise, and he drove them to Epping-place, and from thence they took post-horQeß to Woodford. Francis Leak was a waiter at Epping-place in November ; proved the parties coming to his house on the day in ques tion and going on to Woodford. George Clapham, a farmer, deposed to seeing a carriage standing on the 19th of November on the top .of Bun deck Hill. Witness knows Mrs. Tyre% and saw her walking very fast towards the carriage, a woman followed after her with two bundles. Dr, Baddeley—l was the family Phyaician at J. Tyrell's, and saw Mr. and Mrs. Tyrell there frequently. They appeared to be always very happy. Mr. Bird—l am a surgeon at Chelmsford. I h a v e attended at Boreham House, and had frequent opportunities of observing the conduct of Mr. and Mrs. Tyrell. Have repeatedly dined there, and can say, that from all that I have observed they lived happily together. Mary Underwood lived as head nurse in the family of Mrs. Tyrell for the last year and a half. Her master and mistress lived on very good terms, and were always kind and affectionate towards each other. Mr. Qnintin Dick.—l was at Boreham House imme diately after the elopement, but did not see Mrs. Tyrell. Mr. T. Hopper deposed that he was at Boreham at the time of the elopement, and saw Colonel Tyrell there, whO was quite distressed. Mr. Scott.—l am an attorney. I know Mr. St. Aubyn. He was a beneficed clergyman in the parish of Crowan, in the Diocese of Exeter. He was presented to it by his father, who was the patron. He is the third son of Sir John St. Aubyn, and the small tithes were about 4001. per annum, and the glebe about 90/. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. Sergeant CROSS then rose and addressed the Jury on the part of the defendant. Twenty-four hours had not, he said, elapsed, since he first knew the circumstances, or even the names of the parties, in the action. He had, therefore, no other information upon the subject, than what he had acquired by hearing the evidence" adduced that day in Court. Under these circumstances he felt more than ordinary difficulty, and trusted they would be indulgent in granting him their attention, while he commented on the circumstances which had come before them. His client came before them prostrated in spirit, to submit with the humblest contrition to their judg ment. But with respect to the morality of his conduct, that was not for their consideration, but for that of a higher tribunal. They were not the censors of public mo rals, they were not to punish him for immorality, thS law had not thought proper to decree any species of punishment for the offence alleged against his client, and the Jury should not suffer their indignation at his presumed guilt to lead them from the just discharge of their duty. Should they yield to their feelings at the immorality of which he might have been guilty, they would forget their duty to the public, and to the parties in that cause. His Learned Friend, in his opening had truly stated, that the only question for them to try, was what pecuniary compensation should be given to the plaintiff for the injury inflicted on him by the defendant. But though lie had distinctly stated this in his opening; he seemed to forget it altogether soon after, when he dwelt so long upon the immorality of a clergyman who had made cold-blooded calculations upon the advantages and disadvantages likely to result from such an action as that with which he was charged —lt was extraordinary that none of the plaintiff's sisters nor brothers, though he had sisters and brothers, were called to prove the fact that the plaintiff and his wife lived on affectionate terms. Neither was Lady Pilkington, or any of her daughters, called. The silence of those witnesses spoke volumes. The Doctor and Apothecary saw nothing unpleasant between them, but were not the members of their own family much better judges of the terms on which they lived than strangers. It did not appear that the plaintiff and his wife were ever together, though the plaintiff had no other occupa tion but fox-hunting. Mrs. Tyrell was always found, not by the side of her husband, where she ought to have been, but the ails of her father-in-law, who was a very old man. No doubt Sir John Tyrell provided an open car riage for his daughter.in-law, and treated her with much kindness, but yet an old man was not the most agreeable companion to a young woman, though it might be quite true that she was fond of him, fonder of him, mayhap, than of her husband, who was always absent from her. It did not appear that the defendant and Mrs. T. ever met more than once; and did it appear that the defendant's conduct on that occasion was unbecoming or improper, or that he behaved himself in such a way as to betray the character of a deceitful seducer ? The evidence was that the defendant won the lady's affections in one day, and carried her off in triumph. Nothing could be more absurd than this represen tation which only proved that something was kept hack ; and that the plaintiff had not put forward a full and un reserved explanation of all the facts of the case. There was another material fact in the case. In cases of this kind the breach of hospitality was usually insisted upon as a ground for the aggravation of damages. But in this case there was no breach of hospitality; no violation of friemischip ; and it did not appear that the defendant knew the lady in any other character but that of a despised and neglected wife, a character most likely to win a place in the heart of a single man, and to which many men wiser and older than the defendant, had fallen. There were no acts of seduction used, there was no breach of hospitality, and there never was a case in which there were fewer circumstances of aggravation. He did not attempt to justify the conduct of the defendant, he was not instructed to do so, but he put it to the Jury to say whether the conduct of the defendant was not free from any interested motives. When the plaintiff married the lady, she was a ward in Chancery, and had 45,0001. for her fortune. This fortune the plaintiff retained, and the defendant could never reap any ad vantage from it. He had an income of about 500/. a year, out of which he bad to suppert himself and another person. By this transaction too, he had lost all hope of promotion in the Church, and might even lose the benefice he now held. He had already been severely punished for his conduct on this occasion, for his commisseration for a despised and neglected wife, and for this affec tion which followed that feeling, he had given np all die prospects of his life. It was for the Jury to say, calmly and dispassionately, what further pu nishment should be inflicted on the defendant, in the way of damages ; for though he might not, and pro bably would not, be able to pay them, lie must submit to any verdict the Jury thought proper to award. But he begged again to remind them, that they were not to punish the defendant for the immorality of his conduct. The case having closed, Mr. Justice PARK proceeded to sum up the evidence, and observed that it was perfectly true, as had been stated by the Counsel for the defendant, that it was not the busi ness of the Jury to punish the defendant, they were only to award the amount of compensation which the plaintiff was entitled to : This he (Mr. Justice Park) considered a de ficiency ih the British law. Ne heard cases of this description in Courts of Justice, where the defendants were guilty of as great crimes against morality and society, as any which his Learned Brothers were now engaged in trying elsewhere. Yet persons guilty of such violations of law and religion, could not be punished as criminals. Such was the law, and he (Mr. Justice Park) had thought from his boyish days, and would think to the end of his life, that their exemption from punishment was a disgrace to the English law. The conduct of the defendant was most shameful and dis gusting ; and in contradiction to his counsel, (he Mr. Justice Park) hoped that the Bishop of the Diocese, in which the defendant's benefice was situated, would remove such a disgrace from a Christian Church. Did not the de fendant recollect that he had sworn to form and fashion his life after the doctrines of Chtist, a little before he took advantage of the weakness, or folly, or wickedness of this unfortunate woman, and took her away from her hus band and friend. And yet after this the defendant had the hardihood to say, that " he had nothing to blush for." The Learned J UDG E, after recapitulating the evidence, put it to the Jury to say, whether it did not appear, that the plaintiff and his wife lived happily together, until she became the worthless thing her seducer made her ;—true likely dhat a woman it was, that she might have told the defendant that her h trea ted her ill ; but then what was more who had given way to the indul gence of her infamous passions, should have traduced her husband's character for the purpose of justifying her own adultery.--It has been contended, that the defendant had, since tie unfortunate seduction of this Lady, beencontrition, and filled with com miserationpstted with f r o a rthe Victim of his error ; but how did that appear front his declaration, that if Colonel Tyrell adopted coercive measures, the laugh would be against h i mself. The case was now with the Jury, they had to say what compensation a disconsolate husband ought to receive for the loss of this beautiful woman, the mother of three daughters, whe, more than sons required a mother's care, and who if their unhappy parent had not been seduced, might have been brought up by her in the patios of honour and of virtue ; but the benefits of her precept and example was lost, the adulterer had cast hii lustful, beastly eves on her, and she was gone froin them. What latut the feetingl Of toe poor kids be, when they hereafter learn and Mash for their mother's infamy. The Jury would weigh well all these circumstances; and they would give temperate damages, such as the defendant must pay in his person, if not in purse. Such as if he did not pay, must consign him to a prison—the hest and the fittest place for a being of his description. The Jury, after consulting for a few .minutes, enquired, through the foreman, whether the plaintiff's wife had the interest of the 45,0001., which her husband got upow their marriage. The Learned JUDGE told the Jury that they had no thing to do with that fact ; they had merely to say what compensation the plaintiff was entitled to, for the loss of his wife. The marriage settlement was not before them, and if, indeed, it were, it could not form a subject for their consideration. The Jury then retired, and after an absence of about ten minutes, returned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages, FIFTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. THE MURDER IN MONTAGUE-PLACE. The Court was at an early hour crowded with mast re spectable persons, who all sheaved the greatest anxiety to get a view of Wm. .Tones, the man charged with the murder. Sir R. Birni,e and Mr. Halls were both on the bench, which was filled by persons of distinction long before nine o'clock. At that hour Mr. Sergeant AnAWN took his seat, and Jones was brought up to plead. He answered in a firm voice, " Not 'Guilty" to the indict ment for the murder of Mrs. Betty Jeffs. Ife was then charged on a second indictment for stealing a coat, the pro perty of George Holding, on the 2d of .Tanuary last ; to this indictment be pleaded Guilty. Mr. ADOLPHUS and ;l•Ir. Law appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Com:- JUDGE and Mr. Quirt for the prisoner. At 10 o'clock, Mr. Justice BAILEY, Mr. Justice GAZELEE, Mr. Baron VAUGHA!, and the RECORDER, took their seats upon the Bench. • The prisoner was then brought up again, and the in dictment read over to him, it ran thus :—That be, feloni ously and with malice aforethought, did on the 31st of De cember last, make an assault upon Betty JefF4, and that he struck and cut the said Betty Jeffs with a razor, by which striking and thrusting be inflicted a mortal wound, whereof the aforesaid Betty Jeffs died—he us before pleaded not guilty. Mr. Adolphus then stated the case to the Jury, in a speech which last three-quarters of an hour, but as the case has been so frequently before the public we shall only give the material points, or such evidence as has not appeared. Mr. Letts, of No. 11, Montague-place, the master of the deceased, stated that the deceased, Betty Jeffs, had lived with him as housekeeper since 1810, and had always conducted herself and kept her accounts with great exact ness. He saw her on the Monday before the murder. He hid supplied her son, Mr. Knight, with sums of money on her account, and had remonstrated with her on the im propriety of parting with money which should serve to keep her in her old age. The house was a very large one. By Mr. COLERIDGE-Did not know whether any plate was in the house which was left in the care of the deceased. Paul Dent stated that he went to the house, and descri bed the particulars of his entrance with Bonnick ; they found the body lying on the right side; the feet were straight, as if she had been standing, and her knees were drawn up; the throat was cut dreadfully, and the floor near where she was lying was streaming with blood ; she did not appear to have moved after her throat had been cut ; found a razor-sheath on the right side of the body, but not in the blood. A pair of scissors was on the floor. Net left pocket had been turned inside out. By Mr. COLERIDGE.-The case was about two feet from the body. Examined her left band, to see if any sharp instrument was in it, but there was not. There was a chair on each side of the table, as if two persons had been sitting there. A work-box was on the table. Found something out of order in every room in the house. In the front bed-room he found about twelve drawers open, and all the contents had been turned over, which appeared to be the case in all the rooms. One room had a bed which had not been slept in. It must have taken a long time for a person to have left the rooms in the state in which witness had found them. Witness saw no plate. By'Mr. LAW.—Did not examine if there was any plate when he first went up stairs, as be was looking for the body. By the COURT.-It must have taken half an hour to have upset all the things in that way. By a Juror.—Saw no scissors sheath. Deceased ap peared to have been at work. Alexander Bonnick accompanied the last witness, -and described the appearance of the body as he had done. The razor case was within fourteen or fifteen inches from the body. A pewter pot was lying on its side near her back, as if it had been upset, but no beer appeared to have been spilt. Cross-examined by Mr. COLERIDGE. —The razor case was free from the blood. Believed that a person could not have rifled all the drawers in less than an hour after the murder. It took witness about 10 minutes to pass through them. He saw no plate. Francis Hawkins went in with the two last witnesses, and corroborated their statement. Cross-examined by Mr. COLERIDGE.—The razor case was not in the blood, which was partly congealed. Did not see Dent lift up the razor-case, though he might have done so without witness seeing him. Did not see the scissors till they were on the table. Samuel Fureeman gave the evidence we have before published, and produced a gauntlet, Such as are worn by cavalry, with a spot of blood upon it, which he found in a drawer in one of the rooms. He also found a piece of a newspaper which was stained with blood, both seemed fresh stains. Saw also some marks of blood on the papers enclosing some feathers. On the Bth of January, he went to Mitre-street with Gardiner and Salmon in search of Jones. Saw Salmon take up a shirt collar from the bed. Witness produced a razor which he found in the table drawer. There were one or two small notches in its edge which bad been turned.— There was also ►ome small stains on the blade.-- Could not f , ay with what it had been stained. There was no other razor iu that room, nor was there any part of a razor sheath. Found Jones at the City Compter on the lath of January, where he passed by the name of Edwards. He first denied, and then ad mitted that his name was Jones. Found a cut on his left thumb, near the nail, which he said had been done five «or six weeks before in cutting some wood. He had on a blue frock coat, which he pulled off, and showed witness that he had no shirt on. The coat appeased to have been sponged very recently in both sleeves, below the elbow, ten or eleven inched from the wrist. The coat appeared to have been sponged outside the front, which he said had been all done by the person from whom he bad borrowed it. He afterwards found on the prisoner in the House of Correction a waistcoat, of which the band of the right waistcoat pocket was stained, though witness could not say with what. Mr. Vickery, the Governor of the House of Correction, produced the coat which had been left by Jones with another prisoner. Furzeman, cross-examined by Mr. Coi.Ettinc.r.—Had suspected another person before Jones. Had not, when he went to Mitre-street, examined the inside of the handle of the razor. The spot looks as if the razor had been wiped ; the handle appears to have been washed, because it is so clean inside. Could not say whether a person who had washed the handle would have Washed the blade ; washing with soap and water might have got off the spot on the blade ; had examined it with great attention ; had not com pared it with another razor in a common state ; did not know that if he had never heard of a murder whether it would have attracted any attention. The blocd upon those articles appears to be in the same state upon all. Did not suspect the prisoner till three or four days after the murder, and had acted since that time under a strong impression, which might have influenced witness's judgment on what be saw. In allusion to the cut, in witness's judgment it had not been done at so distant a period as five or six weeks. He opened it, and found the wound fresh and red inside. Did not make any inquiry about the cause of the coat being sponged. Had said, when he searched the prisoner in the Compter, that the waistcoat had been recently washed, but had made no remark about the stain then. Could not say whether the trowsers had been sponged ; but some parts were cleaner than others. The knee appeared the cleanest. Then asked Jones where he had been living, and he tots him, without hesi tation, that he had been living with a girl named Char lotte Berry, in Mitre-street. He also told him that he had been previously living in Windmill -court, and Wootton• street, all of which witness found to be true. Knew that the prisoner had gone by the name of Edwards, and that he had a reason for concealing his name. By Mr. ADotrinrs—When he asked the prisoner where he had been living, he (witness) knew the fact. By the JUDGE --The prisoner did not know that witness knew it. By Mr. ApoLenus—The strong impression that he felt on the case bad never bad any effect, but in making him vigilant and careful in every thing be did. Suspicion was directed to Mr. Knight, who was examined and discharged. Letttewby the COURT.=Bvtivred that the glove pro dueed by Furaeman belonged to his son, who went abroad in November last. Knew nothing of the blood upon it. By Mr. COLERIDGE-Kn2w nothing of any of the other articles. Furzeman recalled—By the Count—Went to all the drawers, and found they had all been ransacked, but no locks broken. Should think that it would not take a person more than 15 or 20 minutes to ransack them all. (This answer seemed to have some effect on all the Court, and certainly on the prisoner, . who made a more hurried and frequent use of a yellow silk handkerchief in wiping, his face.) W. Salmon, the officer, went to Montague-place, with Furzeman, on the Ist of January; saw the scissors, but did not see any blood upon them. By Mr. COT.VRIDCE—Saw the pot and the sheath on the floor, near the body. The sheath was lying partly in conjealed blood. Took up the case, and found it - bloody, and laid it in the same place again. It lay till the inquest, when witness took it up and washed the blood from it. It is consequently not in the same state new. Saw oaindlestick on the second step of the 'stairs, there was blokid on it. Did not wash it; was not in the habit of crashing such things, but did notlike to wrap up the case in the blood. There was a tin candlestick on the table, a work box, and a small piece of writing paper. saw also a thimble, some keys, and some half-pence. A sovereign fell from the body when it was removed. Had kept the razor-case ever since :itis a common black one. Re-examined by Mr. Laws—Was with Furzeman at Mitre-street, when he found the razor and collar. By Mr. COLFRIME—Did not wash the razor. A man shaving himself with a notched razor might have cot him self so as to stain the collar as that was stained. By the JUDGF.—It would have taken a man half an hour to have ransacked the drawers. James Cooper, servant to Mr. Letts, knew the deceased to have had a silver wateh, and two silver table spoons, which he had seen about a month before her de3th, and not sinee. By Mr. COLVRIDGE—The spoons were marked "J. B. J." and the watch hid the paper of a watch-maker, who re sided in Red Lion Passage. They have not been found. Mr. Letts was here asked if any property of his had been taken. He replied that be did not know of any. Samuel Plumb, sturgeon, examined the deceased, and found a cut on the right side of the throat, which extended from the front of the neck to the back. It bad divided the wind-pipe and all the large vessels, and was the cause of death. Thinks that it could not have been inflicted by herself. Her face had a strong expression of horror ; her eyes were open, and her hands hard clenched ; at the time of the inquest, saw some marks on the left collar hone, as if from a person's knuckles ; also saw on the left cheek a mark of dirt appatently occasioned by the sole of a dirty shoe. The neckerchief was thrust into the wound appa rently by the toe of a shoe ; there was a slight finger mark of blood on each thigh, also a single drop of blood on the left thigh. Did not think it possible that the blood from the wound could have occasioned those marks. The thighs were covered when he saw her on the 3d January; thought she had been dead about 24 , hours, as she was cold and stiff. James Cooper recalled.—Deceased had an injury in her left hand, but was a right handed woman. The Juonv here told the prisoner that if he wished for a seat he might have one, but the prisoner answered " not at present my Lord." We shall give the Verdict in our Second Edition.

ANOTHER COLLIERY ON FIRE.— A few d ays ago it was discovered that a fire existed in the old workings of the nine-feet coal at Saucily Colliery, in the vicinity of Allot. From the investigations made, it ap pears that this fire must have begun about ten years age, at the dead crop or outburst of the coal close to the surface. The fire is amongst the rubbish of the old works, and so close to the crop of the coal that the heat has the effect of melting the snow presently on the ground there. The fire is in a state of simple ignition, that is red hot, but no flame, and it is surprising to find how very little progress it h as ma d e in the space of ten years. It i s very remarkable that no smoke or vapour from the burn ing mass has appeared at any one of the numerous pits which are upon this nine feet coal ; it is concluded, how ever, that the great extent of waste or old mines around condenses the smoke and vapour, which are generated s l o wly, .and in very small quantities. Very exaggerated accounts are afloat regarding this fire, as if it were like Etna or Vesuvius vomiting flame; but such is its quiet state, that a stranger may walk over the spot where the fire is, and not discern or suspect that such a process is going ou below grouAni,...Scosman.

Two other witnesses were examined for the plaintiff ; one of whom, Patrick Magin, the brother of the young woman, proved the public acknowledgement, in his pre sence, by the plaintiff of his offence.

Amongst its meritp, that of presenting for the first time to an English audience, a very clever actress, Mademoiselle ELFONORE, of the theatre l'Ambigu Comique, was not the least. She bids fair, certainly, to equal, if not surpass, many of the present fair claimants to public favour on this stage. The house was very well attended. ELOPEM NT.—The curiosity of the inha bitants of Cardigan was last week strongly excited by the following mysterious affair:—Late in the evening of Wed nesday se'nnight, a lady and gentleman, the former appa rently about eighteen; and the latter thirty-five years of age, and ball most fashionably attired, arrived in a chaise and pair at the principal inn. They bad reached Narheth on the preceding evening from Milford, to which place they had come in one of the packets from Ireland, and repre sented themselves to be a newly-married couple on their matrimonial tour. About seven o'clock in the morning, after their arrival at Cardigan, and whilst they were fast locked in the vigour-restoring arms of the drowsy god, two persons in a chaise drove up to the Lion at a rapid pace.— One of them proved to be the lady's father, and the other a POlice officer, from whose representation it appeared that they were all natives of the Emerald Isle, and that the lady had eloped with her companion under extremely distressing circumstances : rumour stated the latter to be a married man, and a near connexion of the family; however, nothing positive was known on this head ; but the father, a venerable looking old gentleman of a highly respectable appear ance, seemed greatly effected, and having requested to be shown in a room for the purpose of arranging his d r ess, the landlady happened to introduce him into . one "'lle!' his daughter's bonnet had been plac e d, which he im mediately recognized, and wept bitterly: — the whole of his conduct evinced the most agraiizing feelings. _ The young couple had arisen, and sat down to breakf as t , little imagining who was so near them, when the fath er entered the room. Immediately on seeing h.io the l a d e shrieked and fainted, whilst her loving swain " look e d unutterable things." A long confer ence then t eok place, ; the particulars of which did not transpire but, about twelve o'clock, it appeared they had come to an arrange ment to retrace their steps to the Land of MUrphies ; an d two chaises were ordered to be got ready t o mnve) ., them, —the father and daughter entered one, and the gallant Lothario, followed by the police-officer, took possesion of the ether. The names of the parties were not asset rained. (forth Wales Chronicle, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Plymouth Journal of yesterday.)
