But man nmst be differently constituted if severity and cruelty, though they may force an outward obe dience, can produce, any ether inward change than increased disaffecefon, and a stronger• deter initiation to dive effect to it .the first favour able Opportunity. When' the Irish Massacre broke out, it w as i n Ul ster , which had been th e theatre of the greatest injustice arid barbarity of the English,. that the vengeance takeit was Most barbarous. In .Scotland, the R evo i nt i off . under King William led to very different results from what were experienced in England. The . Established Clergy,were driv en b y v i o le nce f rom their churches,;; and in the west,c*hich had been the theatre o f t h e greate§tsectielty, the .Episco palian Clergy were rdost _cruelly treated in,,re turn. We are stating the , question on th‘most favourable suppc4ition for the Orangerati:— It is possible that the distress caused bythe inter ruption. to internal commerce, the consequence . of a civil war, might lead to revolutionary move ments in England. All revolutions, however • . deeply . rooted they may be,• are immediately produced, by financial embarrassments. England, possessing as she does a large body of men deeply interested in the maintenam n of - tranquillity, might succeed, even under financial embarrass ments, in preserving - the rights of Borough mongers intact ; :but,, it_ is possible also that changes s er i ous ly affecting the Protestant Con stitution might be 'the consequence ; and the Duke of Newcistle might be left.in the•ruins of his tLicx-boroughs, to wail like the 'descendants o f 0 t!, 4e Irish Chiefs, now digging . perhaps on his domains, the vanished splendour of hi.a house. A man possessed of boroughs ought to be very . sure of the,result before he einKrlcgifi the game of provoking rebellions and. insurrections.. We have no altertitive,' it is. allowed on air halids, but to crush the Catholics or to admit them to an equality with - us._ If we "fleeing° . erusli;;l them, the sooner, no doubt; .we begin' the better ; because the longer-wedelay the task, he more we shall have to do. With their increas ing prosperity, _too, the desire of equality must increase ; because the `consciousness .of , power does not tend to reconcile men, to oppression.-.-- A system of conciliation is really, .as the Standarctobserves, advancing the interests of the Catholics, because it enables them to acquire additional power. Had the penal laws remained in: force, and the Catholics been without pro perty, the empire would have been, no doubt, poorer, but the Protestant interest in' Ireland would have been stronger. The Standard of last night, bbserves--;." In 1637 (see the Morn ing- Chronicle) Ireland was tranquil, in conse quence of a conciliatory Government." It should rather be said, in consequence of an energetic Government, of which all men, rich and poor, stood in awe.- • Strafford has been accused of . tyranny : but allowance ought to *be made for the age and the country. Still many of his measures are• not - to be justified; but' upon the whole the country advanced in prosperity under his administration. "In 1641," adds our Con temporary, " as ,the • Chronicle admits with . a sigh this morning, and every person, no matter how indifferent to the Protestant interest of Ire land—Hume, for example; who has written the History of that country—there was a diabolical_ massacre, the horrors of which have never been equalled." If Strafford-had been a less efficient guardian of property, and the country had been in a more backward state; it is possible that in 1641 the Catholics might have re mained passive during the attempts which were made then to precipitate them into ' rebel lion for the sake of farther confiscations:' It is known that before the Irish rose,' they 'were threatened during that time of Puritan fumy with extirpation. It has always been accounted a -grievous -vrinie in the Irish "to demand equal . justice. Sir John Temple's 'violent book o n th e. • Irish Rebellion furnishes the best vindication of the Irish ; for, whatever might 'he' thoUght by zealots, in his own age, as- to the claims of the Irish, against. which lie inveighs so loudly, our age has already pronounced in-their favour. The. Catholics, he says, claimed the abolition of all marks of national distinction between EngliSh, and Irish ; that the Parliament of Ireland should have a supreme jurisdiction in Ireland ; that Poyning's Act .should be repealed ; that the Penal Laws against Catholics should be repealed ; tliat the,transportation ofcommodities befree ; that . • .allmonopoliesie taken away; that such new Cor,-, potations as have not the face of Corporation Towns, and were erected to give voices in the Parliament (Rotten Boroughs), may be dis solved, and their votes taken away, &c. Szc.— Sir John observes, " these are the Means pro posed by these. Catholic Reinonstrants 'for the reducing of time . kingdom to peace, these the great obstructions they would have removed, and the constant counsel they would have followed, in settling the tranquillity and present govern. meet of this land ; so as we need seek no fur ther evidence, nor make any more curious in quiries into the secret causes of their first rising ; we have.here enough out of their own mouths to resolve the nio,t ficiu pulous unbeliever of their first motives to rebellion." " Considering (lie adds) the large indulgence and free liberty they universally enjo y e d a t t h at time —in the lull ex ercise of their religion. throughout'all the parts of the kingdom--,-.lt may be most j ust l y sus _ ar e outw a rd s o o l e a v petted (how zealously er now ob trude )- trude it) that, this witsy the theyb coverture made use, of"' • • '• '• - " lf . we shall consider their main design , and chief ends there in, as they aypear in their first principles, or will g ive credit to the several speeches and pas sages,the rebels, in , that we . meet wit h . among the very breaking out ; as also beginning of their to several other testimonies that have since pri vately fallen from. sQine,Onicular person among them, w e mus t b e li e v e -that the ir design clearly was to destroy. and root out . all:, the .

(theTroclatuatiou ,directing ~~~~. the imprisonment of Tories and the transporta tion of Popish -Priests, if- the persons guilty of Murder, &c. were not taken within fourteen days) did not satisfy many .Protestants, who, in their their , terror“tird perhaps some secret in clination tea newt rebellion arid new forfeitures, called for more severe anti irritating measures.— They..proposed.that those of-the Irish who still enjoyed the old rank of Chieftaining, who had lost their estates, and were therefore likely to engage in any desperate purpose, should be se cured, so as to restrain their septs from rebellion. . . . . If all:Suspected persons were to be seized, it seemed - difficult to say how or where they Were to be kept, hoW,many'rnight be thus driven to desperate courses, and whether their followers might hot rather be provoked than intimidated."

But having the English' in their hands,' and the English Authorities proceeding , to . dfstoy the natives without distinction, they retaliated on them. The Catholic Lords remonstrated • again and again on the subject of the horrible cruelties com mitted by the English on helpless old men—On women and children. The following parairApli from one of the Lo'rdS Justices to the .E. 41 of Ormond, 'dated 23d Peb. 1641 (Caite's mond, vol. iii.), will show what monsters the 'nest at the head of the Government were " It is resolved, that it is fit that his Lordship do endeavour, with his Majesty's said forces, to wound, kill, slay, - and destroy by all the ways and means lie may, all the s.aid i gybels, and -their adherents and relievers, and burn, spoil, waste; consume, .destroy, and demolish all the places, tow* and houses,: where the said Tebelsare, or ItCive been relieved, and harboured, and all Me. . corn - and hay there, . and kill . and "deitroy all the men there inhabiting able to bear arms.". In the famous Remonstrance at Trim, 17th March, -1642, the Catholics declare ' that Sir Willi to Parsonst Sir Adam Loftus, Knight; 4 7 04 . 1 ajesty's Vice-Treasurer of this . kingdom, and others their adherents, did declare that an .army,of 10,1400 i -S.cots was to arrive in the kingdom to force the said Catholics to change their religion, and_that Ireland could never do well without a rebellion, to the enflthe remain of the natives theregf might be 'extirpated ; and wagers were.laid i at general assizes andspublic meetings, by some of them then - and now em} le.yed at places of great profit and trust in the kingdom, that within one year no Catholic should be left in Ireland:' Such has been the policy of Eng land—the weak are always- in the . wrong. Our system from fi rs t t o l as t h as b ee n one of violence and : plunder, for which a succession of pretexts has been. used, the last of which is reli gion. A period of conciliation succeeds one of severity, when the arm of the cippresser.4 wearied, like the cold and hot fits of an ague ; and we wonder . that the Irish should be. half civilised and wholly discontented.—Morning Chronicle. The question of Slavery in the West Indies, like almost every other question of vital import ance to the' British Empire, was passed Over last year in both Houses o f Parliament, almost with out a remark. A similar occurrence, however, is not likely to take place during the next Session, and we are therefore anxious, in the mean time, to direct the attention of our readers to such publications as are in any respect calculated to promote the great object which the Legislature and the people of this country have in view. We need scarcely observe, for we have repeatedly made the same remark, that the two great ob stacles which the emancipation and improvement of the slaves _in the West, Indies ,have had to encounter, have been the ultra zeal. of the Emancipationists at home, and the obstinacy 'of the planters abroad. The : former Viewing slavery and its horrors in the abstract only, cried out most lustily -for unconditional Emancipation ; the latter, seeing the unreason ableness of such demands, became . more obsti nate in resisting . every improvement that was suggested by the former, in, proportion to the warmth with which it was urged. It soon be came evident, in consequence, to all who stood neuter between the parties, 'and had sense and moderation' enough neither to be persuaded by the Emancipists to involve themselves as partisans in the unconditional abolition of slavery, nor to believe with the planters that' free labour could iiof be advantageously introduced into our West India. Islands, that both must lower their tone before . any practical good. could be effected ; and such, we think, has already begun to be the case. The planter no longer opposes Emanci pation im the abstract, but talks of indemnity in the.same.way as the opponents of the Roman' Catholic Claims talk of securities against the Pope ; while the Emancipist, on the other hand, partly, no doubt, convinced by' the greater knowledge of the subject which he has acqUired, that Emancipation would rank next to injustice to the slave without education and a disposition to labour and be independent having been previously implanted in him ; and partly also from a sense that no scheme of Emancipa tion could succeed which did not enjoy the be-, petit of . the planter's co-operation, appears to have consented to waive much of the haste and peremptory mode of procedure on which he for merly insisted, and to think that where rights have been conferred,, rights which have been justly used ought. - not to be taken away without ade quate compensation being made. . Such, we take it, is really the ]resent - state . of the question—or if this View of it be somewhat: more favourable than, under all circumstances, we ought 'to pre sent, the time, we feel every resp convinced,respect bee far d. di s We have b een i n d uced to make consequence o f these isreanioizt reflections in a small pamphlet having been p tch u oc t i . nF, i iltajoititseoeu:nhadisi appointed, g e e i s i t t ti i oo t l i e tl asdk, submitted nm r t r oi l t i tc e e do lt na e sti l d 7 ve r ar t rait o oi f oui.s a i Public Meetings, h e ld weekly, during the last fbur Months, at Salvador Ho — use, What practical Bishops,..,,ate Church, for " the discussion of the folrow - ing .fartthe /a.bblee.stßePeartrs Measures can be question adopted to effect the Abolition of Slavery?'

The question it se lf i s put 'by the Committee in a different manner tircnn that in which it has been usually advocated, but on what we nevertheless conceive to be its true grounds. " The result Of their inquiries, - (say the Com niittee) was, a conviction that the comparative want of success attributable to the efforts hitherto nu d e by the friends of eman c ipati on h as ar isen . from the fact, that the true interests of all the parties con cerned have not properly . And steadily been kept in view. Immediate emancipation, however desiratile it in the abstract may appear to the man of beneo lence and the believer in Revelation, can, in fact, 'as the Committee think, be only desirable in as fidas it would contibute to the comfort and happiness of the negro slaves.. Slavery and its concomitant evi s are already treated, and the Committee therefore conceive that the only question to be entertained is, —how can slavery and its attendant evils be anni hilated, with the least possible mischief to the par ties whom they now affect ? The question should not be, as the Committee presume to think,—H ow can slavery be terminated with the greatest speed, merely ? but how can it be terminated, so as to se cure for his subjects a blessing rather than a curse ?" In prosecuting this inquiry the Committee came to the conclusion, that " any forcible at tempt to - secure immediate Emancipation would issue not .only - in the destruction of a large amount of -private property, acquired under the sanction of the British nation, if not to the de struction of the Colonies themselves, as part of the British empire, but also to the great and irreparable injury of the Negroes thetirselves ;" and immediate Emancipation. being therefore wholly out of the question, the Committee, after much deliberation, came to the conclusion that -, the only mode of arriving certainly and surely at the desired result was by making ade qua t e pro vision for securing r the real interests of all the parties concerned.'` The Committee, in fact, • " Confidently claim for the West India proprie tors, as.a matter of justice, that which they have now made only a matter of 'expediency and policy. *libp,ra,are decidedly of opinion, from a fair, and pa tient,.and dispassionate review of the subject, that although slavery is an evil of the greatest magni tude, and one in which the planters are equally im plicated with the rest of the British population, that it is, neverateless, an evil created,' not by the plan ters themselVes, nor for their separate interests, but by•the motkerVountry, • :and for national purposes. But whether ? :ft be regarded as a question . of right, or of expedielyNte Committee are unanimously of opinion, that e a can only be by securing the eon*- rence.of the platitus,on the measures of emancipa tion, that Iliat great and important object can be effected. But•this concurrence of the West India proprietora,..- the .Committee take the liberty to re peat, can only be . gained by giving to them an ade quate security aga i nst all further claims than such as we are fairly and equitably entitled to prefer against them, as one of the parties to the evil we now seek to destroy." _ . _ Such are the views of the Committee on the great question of the Abolition of Slavery : and we cannot but hail the appearance of such mode ration and sound sense as forming almost a new era in the discussion—as tending powerfully to . influence the future proceedings of the legisla ture, and to bring the whole matter within the range of the simple question of " What prac tical measures can be adopted to effect the Abo lition of Slavery ?"—.Morning Advertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—A long investigation took place before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Mt NSHULL, relative to the cause of the death of Sophia Morton, who was drowned at Water loo-bridge yesterday morning. Hannah Nichols, a young woman of interesting appear ance, was in company with deceased between twelve and one o'clock yesterday morning on Waterloo-bridge, when, in consequence of being under the influence of liquotVhey began to " lark," and the deceased said she would Jump up on the battlement, which the witness begged of her not to attempt. After running from the first arch, she laughed very heartily, and on reaching the second, she ascended the battlements and unable to keep her situation there, she tumbled over, exclaiming, " Hannah, Hannah, I am gone, I am dead." She then heard her plunge into the water, and has not seen her since. The witness, who seemed dreadfully agitated during the time, understood that the misfortunes of the deceased origi nated with the cruelty of her mother, who refused her a shelter in the house at a very early age and a few days since; when she was on the point of being married to a very respectable young mats; the mother represented her conduct and character to him in such a manner as induced him to break off the match, which prayed very deeply on her mind ever since. This witness seemed to be greatly affected when asked some questions relative to her own life, which she declined answering, only saying that she was a native of Hull, — reared in a situation of life far above that of a servant, and that she never would return to shame her friends. Green, kconstable, who was engaged in making a search for the body, informed the Magistrate that he was unable to find it, after using every exertion for that purpose. Mr. Mnistrum. directed him to make a further search, and if the-body-was found; to call again at the office. QUEEN-SQUARE.—Yesterday Mr. Chadwick, of Eton-lane, Pimlico, many . years clerk in Mr. Bramah's manufactory at Malik°, brought his son Benjamin, a youth about 18 years of age, before Mr. WHITE, to ask his advice under the following circumstances : It appeared that for a length of time the son had con ducted' himself in such a violent manner towards his parents that they were in fear of their lives from his violent Con duk he had latterly got connected with some of the lowest and most profligate characters in Westminster, who were his constant associates, -and robbed hiS father• of every. thing valuable he could lay his liantli on, which he sold for the purpose of procuring liquor'' , 'Every ~thing possible was done to reclaim him, and he had been fitted out several times, and a ship procured for him, ;to go to sea, in order to estrange him from his .companions ; but he always con trived'to run away, when be would return to his father's, swear he would do no work, but would compel him to pro vide for him, and if remonstrated with, would immediately take the most valuable article in the house and sell it. . Mr. WHITE inquired of Mr. Chadwick if he intended to charge his son with a felony ? Mr. Chadwick (who appeared overpowered by his feel ings) did not wish to take that step; but requested some advice how to act, as his son was of such a disposition that both himself, wife, and family, were in danger of their lives. Mr. \Vilna—He is young, and able to get his own living, and it• he comes to your house and conducts himself in the manner you describe, tie him hand foot, and confine bins. Stand upon no ceremony with him ; hut I think, if he has any sense or reflection, he will not repeat such conduct. The son, who had been laughing nearly the whole time, and conducting himself in the most callous manner, then left the-office with his father. Before the close of the office, Mr. Chadwick, attended by several friends, entered the office, and the - son was again brought up in custody for creating a riot at,his father's house in Eton-lane, and threatening to smash in every window in the house. The family had been forced to bar in all the windows of the house, and were in the greatest dangerof their lives. SautherivOod,. the constable, end Mr. Chadwick, now deposed to the outrageous conduct of the prisoner„ and Mr;' Obadwick'swore: that he considered hislife in danger. Mr. Samuel Chadwick, the eldest son of the complainant, stated ,that he had repeatedly heard his brother Benjamin threaten both his father's and mother's lA. I The prisoner, - during the statement; milled both his father and brother liars; and" said they ought to be aihamed of themselves. Several respectable persons spoke as to the unfilial con duct of the son. Mr. WHITE said he would let him know that his father was not bound to maintain such a dissolute character, and instantly committed him, to his great surprise, to Tothill fields, for want of sureties to keep the peace towards his father and mother. HATTON-GARDEN...--- George Kersey, a printer, re 'siding at . No. 19, Guildford-street East, Wilmington square, was yesterday brought up before the sitting Ma gistrates, Mr. Sergeant Szi,Lort and Mr. LAING, from Pentonville watch-house, charged with assaulting a young woman of the name of Frances King, and James Bennett, a watchman. Mrs. King lives at No. 20, Drummond -crescent, Euston square, and is married to a clerk in the service of Mr. Mortlock, surveyor of roads. She complained, that at half -past nine o'clock the previous night, having passed the evening in the company of her sister in Lloyd's-row, Sadler's Wells, she was proceeding alone through Arlington street, in th e direction of home, when the defendant came °P close behind her, and addressing her, said, " Oh, Judy, how do you do ?" At which she turned round, and merely observing to him, Sir, you seem to be mistaken," hurried forward with a hasty steps. The defendant, however, quickly followed her, a distance of about 20 yards, and having overtaken her, s e iy e d h er by the bonnet, which be tore off her bead, and rent in pieces, and then, striking her with great violence, knocked her down, where she lay iu a state of insensibility, with scarcely power auoi cient• to call out " Watch !" The watchmen, however, in the neighbourhood having heard her screams in the first instance, • came up time enough to prevent any further outrage, and took the defendant into custody. A watchman here came forward, and corroborated this evidence. The defendant denied the charges, and insisted that both statements were untrue from beginning to end, Combs, the night-constable, deposed that the female, when she came to give the charge at the watch-house, seemed to him to have been extremely ill-used. She was perfectly sober at the time, but the defendant, appeared to have been the worse for liquor. •The magistrates consulted, and agreed to fine the de fendant in the penalty of 205., which was immediately paid, and the parties withdrew. AIARYLEHONE.— George Cumming Osborne, E mi ., of 22, King-street, Portman-square, was charged with assaulting his housemaid and his cook. Lucy Ladbroke, the housemaid, complained that her 'master fired a pistol at her in the middle of ' July, threw a butter-dish of water in her face three days ago, and on Monday heat her with great violence. Mr. Osborne said in his defence, " I ordered her, Sir, to leave my bed-chamber, and instead of obeying me as she ought to do, she slapped my face, and I pommelled her well." The cook declared her master was very riotous. She had lived with him, on and off, ever since September twelve thonth, but she could put up with it no Jouger, for be threw his gruel in her face, when she took it to him, and had cut her nose with a tumbler.' . There is no mistress, nor any more than her master in the family. " What is it you want ?" said Mr. RAWLINSON to the cook. Cook—l want 5/., and Lucy ought to have more. Mr. RAWLINSON—Ten, perhaps, you think? Cook—Yes. Mr. IlawuNsox—l eaunot understand why, after being fired at, you continued to live with this gentlemen. • I shall tlismiss the case, and yOu may, if you please, carry it to the sessions. THAMES POLICE-OFFICE.—•Capt. Wood, master of a Baltic trader named the Alfred, was brought to this office, charged with ill-treating a Captain Duff, who was put into his ship at Riga by the British Consul, during the voyage to England. The complainant, a tall athletic-looking man, being de sired to state his complaint, said--" I really, your wor ships, don't know whether lam dead or alive. I was PO terribly ill-treated by this man, I have once or twice thought myself dead, and 'pon my word I am not quite sure that 1 am alive now." Mr. BALLANTYNE looked surprised, and said, " this is a curious prefaCe ; hut let us .have as connected a narrative as you can give of your complaint. Suppose your self alive fur .a few minutes. • Captain Duff—Well, then : I saile d ten months—ne, eight mender ago, from Shields to Archangel : my Ship was wrecked in the Baltic, and 1 lost every thing I had in this world. It had an effect upon my .ntind, and when I got to"Mernel they said I was mad, and I was confined two months in the hospital ; when I recovered, the British Consul shipped me for England in this man's ship, and when at sea be disregarded all my claims as a Captain in the merchant service, who had been shipwrecked, and re fused to allow me to enter the cabin, and I was compelled to herd in the forecastle 'among the living lumber there congregated, in a nasty Sunderland collier ship. When remonstrated with him he kaocked me down, and I lay quite dead for a length of time, I really can't say how long, but I was dead to all intents and purposes. Mr. BALLANTINE-Well, and when did you become Tesuseitated? Captain Duff—That is a question which, in my present uncertain sthte, will not undertake to propound. But, however, he afterviards, when coming through the Chan nel, mortally killed me upon the ship's chains. Mr. Bacmeate—What, then, were you killed twice? Captain Duff—Precisely so : however, the merciful God who provides for all, designed that I should preserve my outward case until I came here to tell this tale of woe. This strange story was delivered with every appearance of seriousness. Mr. BaLLattrtNE—Well, this is curious, and to what may you attribute your restoration, Captain Duff, was it Elsineur gin ? Captain Duff—Why, knowing the perils of a voyage from the East, and finding•myself unwell, I did provide some Elsineur gin as sea store. The defendant, in his defence, entered into a long ramb ling story of Captain Duff's tricks, while on beard. Vie was put on board at Memel, as a man perfeCtly in his senses, but had only been , a few hours at sea before be was discovered to be insane. He drank in one week upwards of two gallons of gin, and became quite ungovernable. He interrupted the navigation of the vessel, beat the pilot, and, indeed, performed so many tricks, that nothing could be done with him. Captain Duff indignantly repelled the idea of his being insane ; and, as proof of his perfect sanity, challenged the defendant to single combat on the spot, saying the Magis 7 trates should act as umpires. The defendant looked as if he bad no objection to accept the challenge ; bat the Magistrates commanded silence. Mr. BALLANTINE then dismissed the charge, observing, that it appeared to him the captain of the ship had a very parsimonious share of common sense; which .seemed to have been entirely absorbed by his insane charge during the voyage. Captain Duff declared there was no law to be had in England. LONDON SESSIONS, SEPT. 24. WINE LICENCES. Mr. ADoLPHus applied to the, Court to grant,a licence to Mr. Thomas Sealy, of No. 8, Thrograor ton-street. Application•had before been made for a licence to the house which the petitiOner inhabited. Objections were made to it on the grounds that a billiard-table, with other accommodations, were kept there. Those grounds of objection were now en tirely removed; The present application was made under the old Act. • The Court determined that, in this case, where the_ grant of the licence was opposed, they could not deviate from the course prescribed by the Act under which application was made. THE DR. JOHNSON'S HEAD. Application was made by Mr. ADOLPHUS in be half of a widow, Mrs. Mary Bush, who keeps the Dr. Johnson's Head (a house in which, according to tradition, Dr: Johnson lived), in 80lt -court, Fleet-street, for a wine licence under the new Act, the house being declared to be au hotel.—Granted. Mr. Blackwore, the solicitor, applied for a licence to. the house, kept by Mr. Notbrook, in Monument yard, which he contended came within the meaning of the new act as a❑ lintel. 'Mr. John Hepworth, a young surgeon, had lived at the petitioner's house, which he considered to be an hotel. It was always Well conducted as such. He knew other members of the medical profession who frequented it. When witness slept there he paid half-a-crown for his bed. His other friends who slept there held the house in estimation as an hotel. Mr. Martyn h:Ld a memorial to present from the Common Council of the Ward, containing their opinion on the propriety of granting the liceni:e. He. •appeared there also for the licensed victuallers of the.. ward. Sir;JOIN-PgRRING said the opinions of the Common Council .of the Ward would be listened to with respect ; but they could not be received as evidence: • • 'Sit' PETER LAURIE was yet of opinion, both from his owii observation and the testimony of the witnesses, that the h ouse was on l y an eat i ng -h ouse .

Upon his releasement, he proceeded to the Walworth road, arid took the house of his 'opposing creditor,' Miss Florella Cohen, at the annual rent of 55/., of whom he had borrowed several sums on his I 0 U... Miss Cohen, of No. 5, Bolingbrooke-row, Wal worth, stated, that having a house to let in \Val worh, the insolvent on the • 19th of Janu ar y ap plied to her respecting it, whom she had never before seen, accompanied with a Mr. Richard son, who the insolvent stated was a builder. We agreed that be should come in at the expiration of the half-quarter. On the 23d he came in com pany with his wife, and stopped till very late, talking about his affairs ; and at 12 o'clock, he said he could not go home to his house in Somers'-town, and said as it was so late he and his wife would sleep there. Witness at first objected to this, but upon his saying that he would sooner sleep on tbe'floor than go, she consented, and made up a bed for him. On the following morning, he said he had better continue there: his tradesmen lived at Somers' -town, and,his wife lodged at an inn, which was very expensive. Witness consented to receive him as the occupier of her house, and having more furniture than she had occasion for, the insolvent proposed to buy some, which witness consented to, and he looked out some furniture and floor-cloth for 601. on the following morning. One morning witness's sister was going to town to pay some taxes, when the insolvent hear ing it, said he was going to town and would save her sister the trouble, who accordingly banded Lim over 151., being the sum due. On his coming home witness asked hint for the receipt, when he replied that he had lest some of his own, and'probably.her's was ainongst.them; with this answer witness was satisfied. In March he said his partner in town wished to pay his carpenter, and asked witness to lend him the money, which he did, on his promiSing to return it in a few days. Shortly after this loan, he said he wanted a little money to pay a Mr. Pike, and as it was too late go the Bank for it, asked wit. ness to lend him 10/., which he promised to return in a few days, which witness` accordingly did, as.also another Si. on similar representations. On the 12th of March, witness was applied to ,for her taxes, and on asking the insolvent if he had not paid them, he replied that he had 51., but had kept the other 10/. for himself, saying at the same time, that he should be obliged to draw some money from the Bank, and would settle her whole account on the 27th of March. Witness, upon receiving information; caus ed the insolvent to be arrested. After the officers had arrested him, she found that two large trunks were tilled with her property. Bildt Branton, sister to the witness, corroborated the testimony of the last witness, and stated that her sister had not told half the frauds the insolvent had imposed on her. Mr. John Stephens, a . gas•fitter, stated that in - February the insolvent applied to him to fit up his shop in .Walworth with gas, which witness did on his representing that be possessed considerable pro perty by his wife; his debt amounted to 321.; he had not received one farthing in liquidation. Mr. Commissioner llowEN observed_ that the pre sent was no ordinary case, but one marked with great fraud. The Learned Commissioner, after re marking on t►etfraudulent,conduct of the insolvent, ordered him to be remanded at the suit of his op posing and detaining creditors for a period not ex ceeding 12 calendar months, to_ be computed from the date of filing his , petition, for_ fraudulently con tracting their debts by false and gross representations. This case lasted the whole of the day, during which time the Court was_ extremely crowded. CORONER'S' INQUES T. Yesterday - afternoon, at. three o'clock, an inquisi tion was„held at the Gun tavern and chop-house, in the Lambeo-read,'hefore THOMAS SHELTON, Esq., the Cproner, for the purpose of ascertaining the cit.= cumstances connected with the death of a : fine female infant, unknown, whose body was discovered buried in the waste land opposite the New Bedlam, St. George's-fields. Mr. Robert Little Hooper, surgeon and apothe cary, residing in the London-road, had seen the body of the child, and upon a superficial examination, considered it to have been. recently born. Mr. 'William Palmer, another surgeon, Borough, concluded the child had once respired. The viscera appeared to .be in a perfect healthy state,, and the child was remarkably well formed.. , William Keyse, the watch-house-keeper at the Circus-gate, now brought into the room. a. very re spectably 'dressed female, apparently about the middle age, whom he had thought proper to detain,on suspicion f having participated' in the affair,-from what had fallen from her in the course of conversa tion. She appeared either to be labouring under mental delusion, or she was very much intoxicated. She appeared to be very faint, and . repeatedly called for water, and " Where's the child ? where's the child ?" These inquiries she reiterated repeatedly. The CORONER told her if she composed herself the child should be shown her. Keyse then placed the body before her upon the table, wrapped in a clean napkin. The female arose from her seat in a state of great agitation, and having unclosed the cloth, she sank back in her chair, and turned her head aside from the body. She appeared very much alarmed, and after she had'reCovered, The CORONER asked her, if she bad ever seen the infant before ? She replied, " That child never lived half an hour after its birth; but you have so dis figured it." _ . CORONER—Were you at the child's birth ? She replied, " No, I was not at its birth, but I have been charged with murdering it, and of course I ought to suffer for it." She then got up again,' and inspected the body a second time, and turned its head round to look at its neck, and then called for more water, being very faint. . . CORONER—Where do you reside, and what is your name ? Woman—Ab, I will not tell you that, for obvious reasons. T This question to h al e , r adjoining repeatedly, joining r o b rn u t in : ain, hi shewa being sremo V pu t in toed custody. Keyse then continued to state, that previous to the.commencement of the inquest, the woman who had been detained was sitting in the coffee-room be low stairs with a glass of porter anti a biscuit. (He recollected her having attempted to• throw herself over Westminster Bridge about five months ago, and he believed her name to be Stokes, and at that time she lived in Lambeth-walk, and her husband was a grocer.) SI4 told him than she was waiting to see the Coroner and the child, and that 'when she had done so, she would tell , all she knew about it, and not till then, and upon this he thought proper to detain her. . . . At the suggestion of the Jurors, the medical gen liemen were_ desired to examine the .woman. This was immediately done, after very consider able resistance on her part, but nothing arose from the examination to warrant the medical men in say. ing she had recently given birth to an infant. The CORONER Said, there was certainly great sus picion attached to the woman : if she was not the mother, he thought she knew all about it. She was not then in a fit state to be examined. lie would adjourn, the inquiry, and in the interim he would call upon her for securities to attend the next exa mination, or in default he would commit her to prison. The woman was then committed upon the Coro ner's warrant to the Borough Compter, for refusing to give evidence, till she should find sureties to at tend the next inquiry, which will take place to-mor row (this) evening, at six o'clock precisely. The inquest was adjourned accordingly.
