reared to him to be peculiarly appropriate; or, if they would seek another monument to Dr. Birkbeck., he would ask them to look around.—(Cheers.) He would ask them to look at the Chairman, and those by whom he was sur rounded, and at that great meeting—(Cheers) —brought to gether, as it was, to do justice to a man for endeavouring to promote the cause of education, and the welfare of the WOlking classes of society.—(Cheers.) To such a man, a more appro priate monument could not be raised than that proposed by the 'Committee. They were not able to do all they might wish for the benefit of their fellow-countrymen, they could not prevent poverty, and distress, and privation, but they might much mi tigate it by diffusing knowledge.—(Cheers.) The best mode 'of promoting the greatest happiness to the greatest number, was to promote knowledge. When they had established the Professorship in question, he trusted that every Professor would endeavour to exceed Dr. Birkbeck in his usefulness.—( Cheers. ) Mr. Focco, who spoke from the body of the hall, and who was at times inaudible, said that the Noble Lord in the chair had not been made aware of the proceedings of a meeting which had previously been held on this subject, with which he ought 'to have been made acquainted. At that public meeting, which had been held on the 3d of August, at the London Mechanics' Institution, the subject of founding the Professorship had been debated, and he was sorry that the Committee had not called those before them who on that occasion lheit differed from them in opinion. Oat that occasion the propriety of founding a lectureship on moral duties was suggested, and he felt con vinced that that would be a preferable plan. Dr. Birkbeck, in allusion to a Professorship of Machinery, told him that he did not know any one capable of filling such a Professorship; but in founding a lectureship on moral duties he thought they would have better success. A working man ex hausted by his day's toil would not go to listen to lectures on machinery, but the working man would go to listen to a course of lectures on moral duties as a recreation. He hoped the Cc mmittee would allow of some modification of thei r _p roposi lion. He disapproved of end owments altogether.He would remind them that the great object they had in view was the improvement of the minds of the people , and if they worked well for 10 or 1.5 years, they would then be able to get a lecture -eery well of themselves without the assistance of professors. For his part he wished that some means could be devised for ex tending the benefits of the establishment, whatever it might be, and which they should endow throughout the country as large. A Yours* MAN in the body of the meeting said that he trusted he should be pardoned if he trespassed for a moment on their indulgence. He was himself one who had bene fited by these ,Slechanics' Institutions, to the establishment of which Dr. Birkbeck had mainly contributed. It appeared to him that the establishment of a Professorship in the Univer sity College would not be the best means of perpetuating the memory of Dr. Birkbeck among the working classes. And it should be recollected that that was the object which the meet ing had principally in view. In his opinion the establish ment of itinerant lectureships, as had been suggested by a gentleman who had preceded him, would much more effectually contribute to the purpose. He believed that lectur es at the Lo n d on U n i vers i ty would not be attended by the working men generally of the Metropolis, and to the working men of other towns they would be wholly useless. He would there fore propose as an amendment to the resolution—" That in the opinion of this Meeting, the best way to perpetuate the memery of Dr. Birkbeck among the working classes would be the establishment of itinerant lectureships." Lord BROUGHAM hoped he might be permitted, before putting the question, to explain to the two gentlemen who had just spoken, that it was a great mistake to suppose that the appointment of a Professorship in the London Univer sity, implied that it was to be an endowment paid by a salary, without depending at all on class fees, so as to enable the Pro fessor to go to sleep in his chair, and receive his salary without doing his business ; they should then be founding an abuse instead of a professorship. There would be fees, very moderate, so as to enable tha working classes to attend, and to enable the lectures to be better worth his at tendance, for that which was got for nothing, was often nothing worth, and very little valued or rated by, by those who re ceived it. A reasonable amount of salary would be attached to the Chair, but it would not be independent of his own exer tions. As to the observation respecting an itinerant lecture ship, he was far from supposing anything in the appoint ment of the Professor that would preclude his visiting the chief workshops of industry, Birmingham, Leeds, and ilranchester. It would be impossible to visit all the Mechanics' Institutions of the country, and as they became more numerous, it would be come still more impossible. His Lordship then read the amendment, proposing the foundation of an itinerant Lec tureship. Me. TRACEY asked if the original resolution was capable of all the modifications his Lordship had alluded t o ? Lord BROUGHAM had no hesitation in saying, that in his opinion the foundation of such a Professorship in connection with the London University was perfectly compatible with, and might lead to, an itinerant lectureship to the extent described. He would go a little further, and pledge himself that it should be Po done. He pledged himself as connnected with the Com mittee, with the subscription, and University, that if the means would afford it lectures should be so given from time to time. Mr. TRACEY—Let the amendment be embodied in the re. solution. The CHAIRMAN--. 11 is part of the Report, and the report has been adopted- The Noble and Learned Lord then read from the Report the following extract : " It will be the duty of the Professor himself to have con stant intercourse with manufacturers and their workmen ; and (observing thus the difficulties which the latter have to sur mount in learning the principles of the arts practised by them) he may be inclined, as he will certainly be most fit, to suggest means for removing those difficulties. We would indeed urge that the terms of the Professor's appointment should direct his attention to this matter. " It is propable also that dining the intervals of the College Session, the Professor will fad it his interest to lecture at Insti tutions in the country, where he will contribute to introduce a branch of teaching which has not perhaps hitherto sufficiently prevailed wiihin them ; and we feel a strong hope that of the students who will frequent the class which we propose to found, many will afterwards devote themselves to popular instruction." The CWAINMAN observed that he thought it batter to add tha amendment to the resolution. It was to the effect, " That during the interval of the Session he be required to lecture in the country." The resolution, as amended, having been put and carried, Mr. Coexes, the Secretary. read letters from Lord Lens doe rte and others ; also a list of subscribers on the present oc casion. Among the names were those of—The Noble and Learned Chairman ' Lord Bro ug h am , 50 gu i neas ; L ord Lans downe, 501.; Lord Campbell, lot. ; Lord J. Russell, 10/. ; Mr. Ewart, 51., &c. Mr. Moscieroef Miexes. M.P., said he had been called upon to address the meeting without premeditation, and certainly would not have done so hail he not felt a wish, as a professed Conservative Member of Parliament, to come there to sympathise with them.—( Cheers.) He seas anxious to show that the subject of the meeting was common ground, on which men of all opinions might meet together ; that when the education of the working classes was concerned, the stickler for the old constitution, and the man who was most anxious for an entirely new one, were united. He would merely refer to the address of Sir Robert Wel on the openingof the Tamworth Institute as a proof of what he said.—(Cheers.) There was no partisanship in the diffusion of knowledge.--( Cheers.) All could join in the good work. Although it was a mournful occasion, yet he trusted that it would not be without its advantages. He was not called upon to interfere in any discussion that had been raised as to the propriety of disposing of the funds that would be collected, but he hoped that every gentleman would believe that the Committee, in the determination they had come to, with perfect honesty and good will, had the wish to carry out what they believed would have been the wishes of Dr. Birkbeck.—( Cheers.) He was certain that if the Committee had believed that, if any of the other excellent propositions which had been submitted to the Meeting, had been more feasible than the one they had pro posed, they would have had no hesitation in adopting it.— (Cheers. ) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by proposing the following resolution . " That the thanks of the Meeting be presented to the Com mittee and to the Secretary for their labours hitherto; that they be requested to continue their exertions for the attainment of the proposed object, and that they have leave to add to their numbers, and app o i n t t rustees. " Mr. ROEBUCK, who was received with loud cheering, rose to second the metion of his lion. Friend. It was needless at that time for hire to enlarge upon the benefits likely to accrue from the proposal which hail been made that day ; still more need les, was it for him to add his humble tribute of applause to the exertions of that great man whose memory there was no mar. but must honour.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") In him they had suffered a great loss, and they were seeking to alleviate that loss by the adoption of that measure which they conceived would have been most gratifying to that great man, had he yet lived. —( Cheers. ) They had adopted the recommendation of the Committee, and, in doing so, they had done that which ith Dr. Birkbeck had been the object of his whole life—they had contributed to the diffusion of knowledge through the country.—(Cheers.) He would not live in mar ble or monumental brass, but he would live in the circulation of knowledge—and he could not die while knowledge remained. It had been said that the Professor they were about to endow would swallow up the memory of him they desired to comme morate. Not so.—(Cheers.) No man would return from bearing those lectures, but he would call to mind who it was who had first put in motion that engine, in the benefits derived from which he had just participated.—(Cheers.) They were about to erect a living monument to hiin—(Cheers)—they were about to make it perpetual, continuous, ever active, and, like himself, ever beneficent. The Committee had adopted a plan which, while it would 'commemorate the memory of Dr. Birkbeck in the manner that would have been most pleas ing to himself, would at the same time confer great benefit on mankind, and excite others to follow his noble example.— (Cheers.) In erecting a monument to the memory of such a man, it was not so desirable to erect a marble tomb that might be beautiful to look at, as to endeavour to promote the good of mankind, as he had done, and to incite others to the adoption of a similar line of virtuous conduct. For these reasons he approved of the decision of the Committee, and he cordially seconded the resolution of his Hon Friend. The Noble Chairman here left the meeting, amidst the most enthusiastic demonstrations of applause. Lord J. RUSSELL having then taken the chair, Mr. HILL, Queen's Counsellor, moved the thanks of the meeting to the Noble and Learned Lord who had presided over their proceedings on that day. He believed there was no one to whose countenance and assistance Dr. Birkbeck was so much indebted in the labours of his life as to the Noble and Learned Lord. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then moved the resolution, as follows .—" That the thanks of the meeting be given to Lord Brougham for his attendance this day, and for the great services which he had rendered towards the education of the people." Mr. E. BAINES second the resolution. The resolutions were then put and unanimously carried. The SECRETARY, after informing the meeting that the public would be made acquainted, by advertisement, with time Places where subscriptions might be paid, read a further list of contributions which he had received during the day. The meeting then separated. THE BIRi .BECK TESTIMONIAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sl,—l beg you will allow me to state, that at the meeting held this day, Mr. C o g ate m s e pu ti t a paper into my hand, after I had spoken, informing Council of the university Co. p.t Dr. Birkheek attended the thither for instruction. 'lege in 1841, and had sent a son Having thus sent his contra/66,2n of my statement for publication, I can only repeat, a; b stated at the meeting, that somewhere about 1830, Dr. Birk' was completely dis satisfied with the management of the Culioge; that he attended the Council some years afterwards is Coates. Admitting the fact, it suppl i e w , rifilsti by Mr. promote the interest o that Coll •,, . the public should to reason why under the pretence of doing honour to Dr. I h _l a irkh:q7L The recommendation of the Committee would had , more effect had it not been signed by the Secretary of the lege, arid the meeting would have had more claim s to 7,,i(bl:c favour had it not been presided over by one of the heads of the College to be benefited, and had none of the resolutions been either moved or seconded by persons having an interest in that Institution. My ineffectual opposition to the whole Pl an was bas; d, I avow, on the opir.ion that it is much better calcu lated to sere' the University College than to commemorate Dr. Birkbeck's worth, or promote the instruction of the working elasses.—l am your obedient servant, April 25. THOMAS 11 OD GSK IN Th, .e General Steam Navigati6n — yUompan's English steam-ship Soh o , C apta i n Thomas SVhitcombe, 'arrived this morning (Monday) from Antwerp, in nineteen hours, having on board Lord Chichester, and the Hon. B. Bolton. By Mr. HALL-1 do rot recollect seeing Melly Good end the deceased together about the time the blue bonnet was made. Nicholas Pearce examined—l ant an Inspector of the A division ; on the evening of Saturday, the 16th of April, I went to Gamble's lodgings, situate, 2, Tindal-buildings, Gray's Inn lane. I knew Gamble before, and had seen the female prisoner before on two or three occasions, 1 first saw Gamble en Monday the 11th, coming out of the lodgings of the female prisoner about five o'clock in the evening. I followed him to Aldgate, and on to Green-bank, Tooley-street, and then to Tindal-buildings. On the next day I saw the two prisoners together in Bishopsgate-street, and near the Catholic chapel in Moorfields, and on the same day in Flower and Dean -street, near the George and Guy public-house, walking. I was at the female prisoner's lodgings about one o'clock in the morning of the 14th. 1 heard a female voice say to Molly, " Who don't he come forward ? there's 1501. reward for him, he is sure to be taken." The voice wint on to say—" Why don't he put a rope round his neck, and put a stone to it, and not disgrace his country ?" The female prisoner replied, " He has more pluck than that. Dan is the darling of my heart ; she was a stinking whore and a stinking bitch." On the 16th 1 went to Gamble's lodgings, soon after nine o'clock in the evening. I saw Gamble in Gray's Inn-lane, and asked him his name. He said, " What's the odds to you ?" I told hi m to come i nto the square, and I would speak to him, and that I was an officer. I asked hiM if he knew Daniel Good, the man charged with murder? lie said he did. but he had not seen him (I think he said) for eight or nine years. Prisoner—Fourteen, Sir. Examination continued—l asked him if he knew Good's wife, and he said he did. I asked where she resided, and he said, Flower and Dean -street. To the best of my belief he mentioned the number. I asked if he had seen her lately, he said, " Once, and that was last week." I asked where he lived, and he said, 2, Tindal's-buildings. I searched him and found two keys in one pocket, awl a sovereign and a half in his watch-pocket. I asked him if he had received a parcel or anything from Good's wife lately, and he said he had not. This was just before I searched him. I then left him in charge of another constable, and went to No. 2, Tindal's-building., where I was informed that he did live there. I returned to Gamble, and took him back with me ; he showed me a box on the ground-floor, which he said was his. I gave him the light, and we went up stairs to the second floor front room, where there were three or four beds. I asked him which was his, and he pointed out the one on the left, nearest to the wall. I asked if he occupied all the bed, and he said, "No, there was some one slept with him," and the man was sent for and came to the room. I asked him if he had any , property about the bed? He said "No." Police constable Thornton then began to search the bed, and in doing so, he found the three gowns produced rolled up together very tight. 1 asked Gamble to whom they belonged, and he said they were his. I asked h:m how he came by them, and he said that they were given to him. I asked him by whom, and he said " a friend." I said " What friend ?" and he said " a female." I said " Who is the female ? " and he said, " Does that make any difference ? " I then sent him to the station-house. I took the box which I saw down stairs to the station-house, and with this key opened it in the male prisoner's presence. The first thing 1 took out was this shirt. I asked him if it was his, and he said " Yes." I asked if it was marked. He first said "Yes," and then " Nn." It is marked in ink, "S. Perry." I then took out another shirt, marked similarly. This, he said, was his also. He said it was given to him by the same person. I said " You've not told me who the per son was," and he said " Maly Good." Mary Good was not present then. He said, " I had them in the bundle." I went to the house of the female prisoner at eleven o'clock the same night, and asked her if she knew a person of the name of Rick or Rickard Gamble, and she said she did not ; ,she bad never heard of such a person. I then sent her to the station house. Cross-examined—l went to Mary Good's, but made no search there. Wm. Henry Spice examined—l live at No. 13, Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, and am a chemist and druggist- I had an assistant in April last, named Solomon Perry. I knew Mrs. Jane Good, the deceased. She used to wash for me and my assistant Perry. I have seen these shirts be fore, and I recognise his handwriting upon them. I am sure they are his. The deceased washed for me up to the day of her death. Mr. Parry is now in Cornwall. Stephen Purdryan, D 16, re-called—l searched the female prisoner's lodgings on Friday the Bth. I found these bundles there; they contain a gown and two small work-boxes. I found them in the corner of the room. Daniel Good, jun., was re-called, and identified the two work-boxes as having been in the possession of the deceased. He had seen them every day up to Monday the 4th of April. Whilst examining the contents of one of the boxes, the little fellow discovered his knife, and immediately taking it up, he exclaimed, " This is my knife, please, Sir, may I have it?" Mr. Hall said it had better n t be taken away. Mary Ann Grayson examined—l am the wife of Thomas Grayson, and lodge in the same house with th e female prisoner. My husband is a silk dyer. I saw Good in Newgate on Satur day last. I saw the same man at Good's lodgings, about a quarter past seven on Thursday morning, ith April. On Monday the 1 I th, I saw Gamble there for the first time, about the middle of the day ; he stayed some time and went to her room. I do not know what became of him afterwards. He was there again tho next day ; he called about two o'clock and went up into her room. I saw him shake hands with her ; he stayed some hours, and they went out together. The last time I saw him there was on Thurs day morning, the 14th. He went up to her room then, and stopped more than an hour. They then went out and re turned together, and he did not leave before eleven o'clock. I live in the adjoining room to Mrs. Good's. Cross -exarnined—l have lived at that place five years, and I believe Molly Good lived there many years before I went there. I never saw Daniel Good there before the time I have al luded to, all the while I lived there. I think I must have seen him if he came there. I have often heard her speak about her husband being away. Gamble—You said on your oath that you have lived in this house for five years. Did you ever see me there before 11th April? Witness—No, I did not. Gamble—lf I had been in the habit of going there, would you have seen me ? Witness—Most likely, if you had been in the habit of going there, I should have seen you. Edward Pritchard examined—l live at 3, Essex-place, Hoxton. I am a bedstead maker. I know the two pri soners. I have followed them about lately. I saw them on Thursday, 14th inst. at the George and Guy, public-house, Brick-lane. They drank there together. I was close to them. I heard them converse together. Mrs. Good said, as near as I can recollect, "Poor Dan, he's afraid he will be taken, hut he'll keep out of the way as long as he can." Gamble said, " Hold your tongue, leave it to me, and he'll never be taken." They came out of the public-house, and I went out after them. Alice Thackstcr examined— lam bar-maid at the George and Guy public-house, Brick-lane, Spitalfields. I know the female prisoner ; she came to our house about two o'clock on Friday, the Bth of this month ; she asked me to take care of two duplicates, I said I would, and she gave them to me, and went away instantly. I saw her three or four days afterwards, and she asked me if I knew what I had taken, and I said yes; she said "Do not say anything about it." I have given them to Inspector Pearce. Mr. alaule—l must now go back, Sir, to the history of Sarah Butcher receiving this property, which I could not carry on before in consequence of the absence of Parry, the con stable. Susan Butcher examined—On Wednesday, 6th April, Daniel Good called at my father's house, and gave me able bonnet, a gown, a shawl, and handkerchief, a f ur ti ppet , a pa i r o f g l oves, -end a pair of boots, now produced. On the following day I delivered all of them to Sergeant Parry. Police Sergeant Parry, BR, examined—l received the articles enumerated by the last witness from her on Thursday, ith April. Mary Anne Clarke re-called—This bonnet belonged to Mrs. Jane Good; lam sure of it, because I made it myself. I have seen the deceased wear it very often, every Suuday. This gown I believe to have belonged to the deceased. I have seen her wear one of the same make, colours, and pattern. Mr. HALL—Has any one looked into the box of Jane Jones, alias Good, to see what clothes were there? Witness—The wearing apparel is all taken away, I believe, Sir. At Mr. fl.see's request Inspector Pearce was recalled, and he stated—Last Tuesday I received two duplicates from Alice Thackstcr ; I delivered them to Sergeant Stephens on the fol lowing day, and told him to redesm the property, which he did. Police Sergeant Stephens A, 13—I received two duplicates on the 20th inst. in the name of William Stanley, from Mr. Pearce. I went to Mr. S iames, in Brick-lane, and redeemed the property on the same day and left the duplicates. Sir. Maule—That's my case, Sir. Mr. Pelham—l wish to know how you propose to deal with this case, Sir? If the deceased were the wife of Good, the property would be his, and it would be no felony on the part of the prisoner to receive it; and the female prisoner cannot be indicted as a re ceiver. If she was not his wife, and he stole the things, and gave them to the female prisoner, then she cannot be indicted as a receiver. Then if the female prisoner be his wife, she cannot be indicted for receiving or harbouring him after the fact, supposing him to be guilty thereof. Those are the difficulties, and it rests with the Court to say how far they are guilty, and of what offence. suck articles. He then went to the doer, and returned with the female prisoner whom I had known before, and she said, "It is all right, Mr. Soames, you need not be afraid; he is my husband, and has just come home from sea." That did away with my objection and we agreed to take them in. They then went away, and about one hour afterwards the man came back with a trunk upon his back, and said, " I have brought yon the trunk." I assisted him with it from his back ; The trunk was about 5 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 2 feet deep, and was corded. When he put it down he left the shop, and said he would go back and fetch the remainder. In about ten minutes he returned, bringing the bed ; the female prisoner was with him that time. When they brought the bed, and I began to uncord it, Mr. Soames said, "as this is likely to be a long job, you had better go and get your dinner, and let these people stay till you have done; and they were told that if they could not stop, they might take the things elsewhere. They did stop till I finished my dinner. Whilst I was at dinner, Good, it appears, had taken the things out. We offered him 21.. upon them. He appeared very anxious to get more, and said that he had just come from sea and wanted to raise some money to go to Scotland, as he had not got his wages yet. We eventually gave him 2/. 10s. as the pledge upon the goods. I had occasion to go on the out side of the counter ; the female prisoner came to me and said, "Don't lend htm more than 2/., for I shall have the job of taking them out, same as I had last time." They then went away ; and in about ten minutes afterwards, Good returned, and brought with him some odd china in a spare deal box, and some female wearing apparel in a bundle. By Mr. HALL— The 21. 10s. was placed upon the counter, and Good took it up ; and I rather think the woman took the duplicates. Examination continued—The wearing apparel consisted of two mantillas, a long worsted scarf, and a black shawl with flowers on it. These articles we purchased ; we first offered to give him ten shillings in pledge upon them ; but he said that he wanted to get as much as he could for them, as he should not want them again. He said that a female had died on his passage home, and had given the things to him. We even tually gave him 12s. for them. We gave him two tickets for the pledged things, and the things have been redeemed by the police. Cross-examined—The woman was in the habit of coming, to our shop, and as far as I know was always a well-con ducted woman, and always to be found. I have been eleven months with Mr. Soames, and during that time have been in the habit of seeing her every week. The bed was a very good feather one, but the tick was damaged.. The man tillas were very old ; I could not say whether they appeared as if they had been a sea voyage. Good was dressed on this occasion in a dark coat; I think the first turn he had a black linen sleeve-jacket on, and that the second turn he had a frock coat over it ; but I am not positive that his trousers were dark. Catherine Neil deposed--I live at No. 12, Greenbank, Tooley-street ; I am the wife of Owen Neil, a brick layer's labourer. I have seen the female prisoner once before now. I saw Daniel Good last Satur day at Newgate. On the evening of Thursday April 7, Good and the female prisoner came to my house. Good asked if a person named Neale lived there ; I said "yes." He was not at home. Good said he had come from Jersey and Guernsey, and had been shipwrecked on the passage, and had lost all his clothes and boxes, and some money. He asked me if I knew him, I said " No." He said, " I'm uncle to John Good." John Good lives at Deptford. He did not tell me his own name. I told him that John Good lived some where near the Creek, in Deptford, but I did not know the name of the street. He said he should go down by the steam carriage, and that he should go to labouring work. He told the woman to send out for something to drink I told them not to send tor it for me. She then sent for a quartern of liquor and we drank it together. They stayed at my house about a hour and left together. Good was dressed in a dark frock coat, a white neckerchief, a spotted waistcoat, and pepper and salt or dark trousers. I saw the male prisoner at my house this day fortnight. I never saw him before. He asked me if a person named O'Neil lived there, and I said Yes, he was at work. He asked me if I knew him ? I said " No." He replied that his name was " Gamble," and asked if I knew anything of Good. He said he had two shirts that Good's wife had given him to take to him. That is the only time I have seen him. Mr. HA LL—During the time that Good was telling you about the shipwreck, did the female prisoner make any remark ? Witness—l believe not. Cross-examined.—On Friday night Good came back to my house about eight o'clock, when we were at supper. My husband asked them to have supper, but he would not ; he said he had been to Deptford, and bought the clothes he had on, because the clothes would not do for labouring work. He was dressed in a short jacket and trousers of fustian. He slept at our place that night, arid took breakfast next morning ; he left at ten o'clock on Saturday morning. He wanted to know very much where Gamble lived, as he had not seen him for some years. I told him that I did not know. I did not see him since then till I saw him at Newgate. I have a son who lives with me. John Good examined—l live at No. 4, Orchard-row, Creek, Deptford, and am a blacksmith. I know Daniel Good. I saw him on Saturday at Newgate. I know the female prisoner at the bar. Good and she came to my house about seven o'clock in the evening of the 7th of April. He told me that be was a relation of mine, and had seen me twenty-two years ago, and though he did not know me, he had heard of me. I do not recollect that I ever saw him before. He told me in her presence that he had come from Holland, where he had been with some horses for some gentlemen, had been shipwrecked, and had lost all his things, except the clothes he then wore. They both remained at my house that night, and went away together the next morning, after breakfast. I saw Daniel Good next on Saturday, about twelve o'clock, when he came alone, and remained there all the afternoon and during the night. At nine o'clock on Sunday morning he went away. I heard the murder publicly proclaimed in the street on Satur day, the 9th, when he and I and my mistress went to market. Cross-examined—Good stopped with me all the night, after I heard the murder proclaimed in the street. I supped with him. When he said he knew me, and was a relation, he did not mention any part of Ireland. I knew the woman be fore. I never recollect to have seen him and the woman to gether before. Hannah Good—l am the wife of the last witness. I know the female prisoner; at least I only' saw her once, and that was when she came to my place with Daniel Good on the 7th of April. I saw Good at Newgate on Saturday last. They called on me on the 7th ; remained there all night, and break fasted with us next morning. When they went away, I went with them to the railway station at Deptford ; she went by the train to London, and he returned with me to my own house, where he staved till the evening of that day. He did not stay at home all day ; he went in and out. He bought some clothes on that day about eleven o'clock. He showed them to me. They consisted of a jacket and trousers of fustian, a black cloth, waistcoat, and a pair of stockings. He changed his clothes there, and put these on. In the evening he left our house, and I walked part of the way with him on the road to London. We had two pints of beer together on the way. On Saturday he returned in the fustian dress, and a hod with him. By Mr. HA LL—The female prisoner was not present when Good bought the clothes and changed them. Cross-examined—At nine o'clock on Sunday morning he left my house and took his things away with him, and I have not seen him since till last Saturday. Cross-examined—l heard that one Daniel Good was wanted for a murder, but I never imagined that he was the man. On Saturday, in the afternoon, I heard of a murder, and in the evening I heard men calling it about the streets; Good was with me at the time, carrying my basket. Good returned with me, and we supped together. We did not say one word about the murder on that night, in conversation. Mary Good left my house about ten o'clock on Friday morning. Re-examined—When we were in the streets, and heard the proclamation, I said it was curious tha this name should be Daniel Good. Good smiled, and said, " Yes, it was strange, but there were plenty of that name." John Neil, jun.—l am the son of John and Catherine Neil, and live at Greenbank, Tooley-street. I know Daniel Good, and I saw him on Saturday at Newgate. He was at my father's house on Friday evening, the Sth of April, and I saw him there. I went with him somewhere. He went into an alley, and told me to knock at a door and tell Molly Good that he wanted her. I afterwards saw the female prisoner. I knocked at the door and asked for Mrs. Good. Good had before told roe if a stranger came to the door, not to tell her that he was there, but to ask for some oranges. The woman who opened the door called Mrs. Good, and she came out; the woman at the bar is the same person. I told her that her husband wanted her ; she then pinched me on the wrist. By Mr. HALL—The woman who opened the door was be hind us when I told her this. Cross-examin e d—Sh e t h en asked me where he was. I pointed out. to her where lie was. She went to him and hit him on the back, but did not speak to him. He ran away and she went back to the house. He went to another street and I followed him. He then told me to go to her again, and say that I wanted her. I went, but there was a crowd round the door, and I did not tell her what he said. He called at the house again in the evening. By Mr. HALL—It was dark when I went to Molly Good's house, Mr. HALL—How do you prupose, Mr. Maule, that this case should be dealt with ? Mr. Manle—l must submit to you, Sir, that there is abun dant evidence to prove that these persons are accessories after the fact, in harbouring and comforting him after the felony. There is no evidence that either the female prisoner or the deceased was the wife of Daniel Geod. They very likely both of them cohabited with him. The evidence is rather against the female prisoner being his wife, for it was known that he never went there tiil very lately. Mr. HALL—You need not mind that. I wish to hear in what way you propose to commit them. MAITLE—It appears to me, Sir, from the evidence, that they harboured, and assisted, and aided him, knowing him to have committed the felony. Mr. HALL—There is but one conversation between them you know. Mr. Maule—There is one witness who heard a c-mver cation between the female prisoner and another woman,• which proved that she was aware of it; and the conversation between the two prisoners at the George and Guy, shows that Gamble knew of it ; and another witness, the waiter at the Spotted Dog, speaks to the same effect. It is quite clear that both the prisoners were in possession of part of the deceased's property ; they deny having possession of them at first; then I say t h e possession o f t h e d eceased ' s property proves that, aft er the murder, Good hastened to London, and carried off th e property of the deceased ; a great part of this lie took to the h ouse of Mary Good, and, through her instru mentality, a part of it is taken to the house of Gamble ; there it is concealed, and there it is found. If I am right in the conclusions I draw, I say there is ample evidence to put these prisoners upon their trial on the charge of being accessories after the fact of the murder ; or if not, that the fact of their having the goods and denying the possession of them without being able to account for it, is in my opinion quite sufficient to warrant you in putting them upon their trial for being accessories after the fact. Mr. lIALL—No doubt it' the deceased were the wife of Da niel Good, there would he an end of the case, and if Mary Good were his wife, she could not be an accessory either with respect to the murder or the goods. A wife may be con cerned in a murder jointly with her husband ; but she would be considered in law sub protestati tire. There is not however, the slightest evidence of the deceased being the wife of Daniel Good, or to show that Mary Good is, or ever was, the wife of Daniel Good. The case must, therefore, be treated as if neither of them were his Kite. The case against Gamble, with re spect to his being found in possession of this property, is Very strong. He is seen on the 11 th in the house of this woman, and that is the first time we find them togethee. On the 12th, too, arid on the 14th, he is seen to go into he.. house and to come out; and on the 16th the pods are found under his bed. I do not mean to say that this implies any attempt at secrecy, because there might have been no other place of safety wherein to deposit the property. I cannot help thinking on the whole that I should have ,so in saying that b he ought to be put upon his trial as a receiver of stolen property. Under all the circumstances I think I shall commit him on this part of the case. With respect to Mary Good, the case against her as accessory after the fact is much stronger than against Gamble.— ( The worthy Magistrate then recapitulated the principal points in the evidence, and he then continued) hese are oil very strong facts; but I think the best and safest cour s e I eau adopt, is to commit them both as reculers of stoles pro. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING. APRIL 26. 1842 pefty, leavirg it to the gentlemen concerned in the prosecution to preNr any other charge %Mien they may think proper. Mr. Burnaby. the Chief Clerk, then] cdninkticed residing the depositions, which occupied a conei , lerable time ; tti(l tier^ concluded by six o'clock, when the wanesses were all bound over to prosecute, and the prisoners were fully committed to take their trial at the next 01(1 Bailey Sessions on the charge of reeeltitig stilled property, well knowing it to have been stolen. Mary Good applied to know if she might have the rticniey which had been tound upon her, and which the police had taken from her, for the purpose of procuring some comforts for her self whilst in prison. Mr. HALL granted the application, and also made an order that the I/. 10s. found on Gamble shoald be given up to him. The prisoners were then removed from the bar, and were shortly after conveyed to Newgate, in the prison van. ATTEMPT TO CUT A CHILD'S TMROAT.—During, the in quiry into the case of Molly Good and Gamble before Mr- Hall, Mr. Jardine sat in a separate room to hear the other charges, placed on the list since Saturday. Ellett Smith, a wretched and dejected looking woman, ap parently about 40 years cf age, was placed at the bar, en a charge of having attempted to cut a boy's throat with a razor, between four and five o'clock on Saturday evening last. Sophia Wilks, of No. 10, Parker -street, Drury-lane, the mother of the boy, deposed that she was a married woman, living in the next room to the prisoner. On Saturday even ing, between four and five o'clock, witness allowed a little boy of her's to go and fetch some beer for the prisoner. When the boy returned, in the course of about twenty minutes, witness heard him scream loudly in the room of the prisoner. NI fitness went to the door of the room, and having opened it, she found the prisoner, with one arm round the boy's waist, and the other arm with a razor in her hand at his throat. The blood was flowing down his clothes. Witness interfered, and in ti ying to push away the razor got a wound on her own hand. Witness having rescue 4 the boy retired. The boy was cut across the throat and across the face. A medical gentleman came and staunched the wound, and the child was then taken to the hospital. The boy was about twelve years old. The prisoner was in liquor at the time. James Strip deposed that he had also heard the screaming. Witness met the prisoner, and after remonstrating with her, she told him that she was determined to commit murder, and murder she should commit. Witness had taken a razor out of the prisoner's hand a short time since. She was a very quiet and inoffensive woman, unless after she had been drinking, when her conduct was generally outrageous. It having been stated 4:o the Magistrate that the wounds ware not dangerous, and that the boy would probably be able to attend in the course of a week, the prisoner was remanded unt.l Monday next.

His HONOUR was engaged during the day in hearing the further arguments in this part-heard cause. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, April 25. The Court was engaged this day in hearing cases on the special paper, which possessed no general interest. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Ap-•il 25. IN RE WALTER ALLEN. The insolvent had been described as a jeweller and watch spring -maker. The names of creditors for the amount of about 570/. appeared in the schedule, none of whom, however, appeared in opposition to his discharge, save one named Dick enson, whose debt arose from a bill endorsed by the insolvent, and cashed by Mr. Dickenson. In his examination, the opposing creditor said he had been in the habit. of discounting bills for the insolvent, who brought him the one forming,the ground of the present opposi tion, and represented the acceptor to be a person in very inde pendent circumstances. Upon the strength of these repre sentations he cashed the bill, which was for 57/., and when it became due the acceptor was found to have been an inmate of the same prison with the insolvent. The insolvent was ordered to be discharged. A number of unopposed petitions were dispossed of during the day, in which there appeared not the slightest features of general interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Wasserman, the German, who was on Saturday week charged upon suspicion of having assisted another man in rubbing Mr. Middleton, the silversmith, of four gold watches and appendages, worth 6.11., by substituting for the box in they were deposited a box precisely similar, was brought up for re-examination. Another German named Laurence, who was apprehended as the person who went out of the shop with the property, leaving on the counter the box containing a few foreign copper coins, was also brought up, and placed at the bar by the side of Wasserman. A great number of trades men were present during the investigation. The shopman of Mr. Middleton having detailed the circum stances of the robbery in a minute manner, stated that Lawrence was the man who first en'ered the shop, and selected the watches and chains, and that Wasserman, while Laurence appeared to be engaged in tying up the watches, walked in for the purpose of buying the article of the lowest price in the house, giving to the accomplice the opportunity of performing the trick effectually. , Alderman GIBS—Did the prisoners seem to know each other? Shopman—Not at all. When I cut open the box left upon the counter, and found that there was nothing in it except copper coins, I ran after the prisoners, but succeeded in catching only Wasserman. The other was subsequently ap prehended by a policeman. Alderman GIBBS.—Are you certain of Laurence's identity? Shopman.—l have not the least doubt of it. Frederick Lyas, coffee and chop-house keeper in Old Comp ton street, stated, that he knew both prisoners and Wasserman was a lodger of his. They were acquainted with each other, and to witwess's knowledge Laurence had called to inquire for the prisoner twiee before and twice after the robbery took place, and appeared to be particularly anxious to know whether the prisoner had returned home on the day of the robbery. Alderman GIBBS.— Du you know of what trade or profession the prisoner is? Witness. —He has represented to me that he was a merchant, and came occasionally from abroad to purchase goods. Laurence then said—'• I confess that I am guilty of the offence, but I assure you that Wasserman is quite innocent and knows nothing at all about it." A policeman stated that Laurence ha:l mentioned to him that he (Laurence) had sold the - matches for 201., at auction rooms near Covent-garden Market. Alderman GIBES—I commit both prisoners for trial. The policeman said that some expenses had been incurred by the prisoners in the Compter, and requested to be informed whether those expenses were to be defrayed out of the money found upon Laurence? Alderman Glees replied, that the money found upon Lau rence must certainly be the produce of the robbery, and could not be applied to such a purpose. The policeman said that he had been obliged himself to pay cab-hire, as the prisoners refused to walk. Alderman ams—You must apply for your expenses to the Court. The prisoners were then committed for trial. A young woman, named Catherine Boyd, was charged by Mr. John Nathan, wholesale clothier, of Ebenezer-square, under the remarkable circumstances detailed in the following evidence:— Mr. Nathan stated that he and his family had been for a considerable time subjected to the most alarming and dan gerous annoyances, arising, as was ascertained, within a couple of days, from the conduct of the defendant, who resided in Angel-court, in the immediate neighbourhood of his house, and amused herself by flinging stones, brickbats, and coals, in at his windows. After much difficulty, and after the whole of the public in that vic,nity were in a state of ex citement at the repeated smash ngs which had taken place, she was detected atter having flung a large brickbat through one of the windows, and a lump of coal through another. Buett (a policeman), stated, that having been directed to watch the complainant's premises, and the houses from which it was suspected the missiles were thrown, he paid partieular attention to the matter, but without effect for a long time, although he went about in disguise. At last it occurred to him to mark a brickbat, and drop it into the area of Ns. 4, Angel-court, where the mistress of the defendant resided, and from which Mr. Nathan suspected the formidable attacks were made upon his windows. Soon afterwards he found the identical brickbat he had marked in Mr. Nathan's yard; and Mr. Nathan told him it had been thrown in by Catherine Boyd, whom her suspected to be the offender. lie then watched and saw the defendant heave a stone through another pane of glass in the house, and instantly afterwards begin to iron an apron uncon cernedly at her window. A basket full of the stones thus flung into the house was then produced. Mr. Nathan said that having ascertained from what place the missiles came, he watched from a spot which commanded a view of the defendant's position, and he observed her, after having cautiously looked round, dash a piece of coal at his window, and then reseme her ironing job as if she had done nothing. Another witness confirmed the accusation beyond the shadow of a doubt. Alderman GIBBS .(to Mr. Nathan)—Pray w h a t d o you know of the woman ? Mr. Nathan—She has been very trou blesome, and acted in a way I cannot speak of. She was for bidden my house, but I have nothing to say against her cha racter. In fact, she came and said that her sister who had lived in my house, was dead, and she wanted money to bury her. There was no truth in her statement. The prisoner said that the window had never been broken by her ; but the fact was, Mr. Nathan had a spite against her on account of her sister. who had lived a servant in his family, and who was now in the hall, with that gentleman's child in her arms. Mr. Nathan said he had letters in his possession to prove that the charge of being the father of the defendant's sister's child was utterly false. Alberman Goss—Let the young woman be called in. Elizabeth Boyd immediately made her appearance upon being called, with a fine child in her arms; she appeared to be in great affliction, and cried bitterly. Alderman Giass—Whose child is that? Elizabeth Boyd— Mr. Nathan's. Alderman Grisas—Oh, it is ? Elizabeth Boyd--It is his, upon my oath, and he knows it well. Alderman Guns—Does he support it? Elizabeth Boyd-- Not at all ; my brother supports it. Alderman GIBES—Have any steps been taken against him by the parish? Elisabeth Boyd—Not to my knowledge. Mr. Nathan solemnly declared that there was not a word of truth in the accusation, and that he had a complete answer to all she alleged against him. He begg, d that the Alderman would ask her what his character was. Elizabeth Boyd—l have to say of you that you took m• innocent and young, and you know it. Mr. Nathan—This is totally irrelevant and unworthy of any notice. There is no truth whatever in her statement. It is a charge which a vindictive person can easily make against any one. She has a sweetheart as I can easily prove, and I have documents to show that the accusation is altogether groundless ; but the whole is unworthy of my notice. Alderman Giaas—The offence of which the defendant has been guilty, is one of a most dangerous nature, from which loss of life might have arisen, and I shall inflict a very heavy fine upon her. The question as to ber sister has nothing to do with this, and if the girl has any complaint to make against yon, she must apply to the parish officers of Whitee.apel, in the workhouse of which the child was born. I fine the defen dant 3/. or three months' confinement for the damage she has done, and she mu,t also find bail to keep the peace. The Defendant—l hope the Almighty will inflict a heavier fine upon him. Mr. Nathan said he was ready to answer any charge that might be made against him. The defendant was then committed to prison. CL.ERKENWELL. A carpenter, named Joseph Westlake, was charged with an attempt_ to murder his wife and children. THE ROE HAMPTON MURDER. BOW-STREET.—(YESTERDAY.) FINAL EXAMINATION OF MOLLY GOOD AND RICHARD GAMBLE. Considerable crowds assembled in Bowsstreet at an early hour yesterday morning to witness the Lions of the day, as we must now consider all persons in any way connected with this tragi cal event. Molly Good and Gamble arrived at the Court in the prison van, from Coldbath-fields prison, at ten minutes to ten. The van was immediately surrounded by the anxious gazers—men, Women, and children ; but as there were several other prisoners, male and female, in the van besides Gamble and Good, they passed through unnoticed. As on the former occasions, Mr. Maule attended to conduct the prosecution on behalf of the Crown, Mr. Pelham appeared for Molly Good, and Gamble was unrepresented by any legal adviser. At twenty minutes to eleven Mr. Hall entered the Court and took his seat on the bench. He was accompanied by the Earl of Uxbridge and Lord W. Lennox. Several ether gentlemen of rank stepped in in the course of the day and took their seats on the judicial platform Tne prisoners were then placed at the bar, when Mr. Maule rose and said—Sir, it becomes my duty now to attend in this case, Ind I shall trouble you with a very few observations only on the subject. Ido not charge these prisoners with being, accessories before the fact, but with being what is called in law accessories after the fact. That is, I humbly conceive, that they knowing of the commission of the offence received the offender, and aided and assisted him. The evidence which I shall have occasion to present to you will perhaps represent the same offence only in another view; it will, perhaps, offer to your notice a case in which it will appear that they were so far accessories after the fact as to have been receivers of stolen goods, knowing them to be stolen. That, Sir, as you are aware, did not, by the common law, constitute the offence of accessory after the fact of mur der; but so long ago as the Act of Queen Anne, they would be constitut e d accessor i es after the fact of the stealing. If they should appear, then, from the evidence, to have received the goods, knowing them to have been stolen, they will be accessories, after the fact of the stealing. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to read an extract from Blackstone in proof of his statement. He then continued —I propose to establish in evidence, first the commission of the fact by Daniel Good, the principal offender, then the connextion of these defendants with the principal offender. I shall prove that after the principal offender, Daniel Good, went from Roe hampton on the night of the 6th of April, he proceeded to the lodgings of the deceased; he there took away a' considerable portion of property, and with it went to the house of the female prisoner ; there it was lodged. I shall prove that many communications passed between Daniel Good and Mary. Good from that time up to the time of the Bth or 9th of April. You will find them together at that house disposing of the property, and that he finally left there on the 9th, and that he was found at Bromley on the 10th. Then, with respect to Gamble, you will find that he was seen at the house of Mary Good, under circumstances from which one would infer that he was not there for legal purposes, but clandestinely ; he was there late at night, and was seen to go from the house with a bundle, not having one when he went in. lou will also find that, on searching at the residences of these prisoners, property was found, part of which I shall be able to identify as having be longed to the deceased, And there is another head of evidence which is this. From conversations which have been overheard from both these prisoners, there can be no doubt that they were perfectly cognisant of whom D. Good was, and what offence had been committed, and that they were therefore aiding and assist ing him in secreting himself and escaping from justice. If I es tabliah this, Sir, I apprehend that, at all events, you and the public will think it a case fit to he entered into, and that the prisoners are well detained, that it may he investigated ; but I go further than that, and I think that you will he called on to commit these prisoners for trial before that tribunal, where alone the question of their guilt or innocence can be determined. Mrs. J. Brown, who kept the house in South-street, Man chester-square, was then called, and examined by Mr. Maulc. The evidence was precisely the same as what has already ap peared so frequently, and at so great length, in The Sun. Cross-examined by Mr. Pelham_l have known Mary Good three years, and Good I have often seen. I do not know where Mary Good was married, but she has told me that she was married to Good, and she wore the ring. Good told me, about three years ago, that his late wife had been dead about eighteen months. Ido not know whether they ever slept in my house as man and wife. John Brown, the landlord of the Coach and Horses at Barnes, was then called, and gave similar testimony to that already published in The Sun. Cross-examined by Mr. Pelham—Good called the woman his sister, and not his wife. Mrs. Fanny Heater was next called, and corroborated the evidence given by her both on the occasion of the inquest and the examination of Daniel Good at this office. George Royal, the landlord of the King's Head, Roehamp ton, also corroborated his previous testimony, but his evidence, as well as the previous witnesses, was principally confined to describing the dress of the deceased. Cross-examined—l did not hear Good address the deceased by any title, either wife, or sister, or " my dear." Gardner, V 279, likewise corroborated his former testimony relative to the finding of the body of the deceased, and the escape of Good, &c. Daniel Good, jun. was then called, and corroborating his former testimony, stated that his mother's name was Jane Good, and that she lived in South -street, Manchester square ; and that she took care of him, and sent him to school. Cross-examined—l h ave b een i n the habit for two years of calling Jane Good my mother. That is, since the first time I ever saw her. Daniel Good, my father, told me to call her mother. My father and I had lived with my other mother, Mary Good; we lived with her about four years. I was christened at Clapham Church ; I do not know how brig ago. Ido not recollect being christened, but it says in my prayer book that I was christened at Clapham Church. I do not know who wrote that in my prayer-book. Be-examined—I remember my first mother six years ago. She is dead, and I remember her dying. Re-cross -examined—l do not know the female prisoner at the bar. I never saw her before to my knowledge. Richard Salmon, the waiter at the Bedford Arms, South street, was then called, and corroborated his former testimony, relative to Good', calling at his master's house at twelve o'click on the night of the 6th of April, and borrowing a screw-driver to open the door of his lodgings at Mrs. Brown's, &c. John Brown, the green-grocer, of 18, South .street, also re peated the testimony which he had formerly given, relative to Good's leaving his house about twenty minutes past five on the morning of the 7th April. Stephen Purdryan, D 16, corroborated the evidence given by him at the final examination of Good at this office. Henry Littleboy examined--I live at York-mews; I drive a cab, No. 726. I was on the cab-stand in Paddington -street on the morning of Thursday, 7th April. I know Daniel Good ; he came to the stand about five minutes after five, and fetched me ; he had nothing with him only a cloak on ; he got on the box with me and ordered me to South-street ; I went there, and stopped at a green-grocer's shop ; Good went down stairs, and fetched up a large trunk with a round head to it, a small deal box, a hat-box and a bed ; the boxes I put inside the cab, and the bed I put outside of the cab. The large trunk, I think, was covered with paper, and appeared very old ; it was full of things, and the lid would not shut down ; it was of a dark colour. The deal box was of a green colour. The hat-box was made of blue pasteboat d. Good at first directed me to drive to Charing-cross, but he afterwards told me to drive to Mr. Shepherd's livery-stables, Whitcombe-street. When I got there I took the things out, and placed them in a little passage by the livery-stables. Good had a jacket in his hand, and he asked me if I had a little boy whom it would fit ; I said I had not, but I had a neighbour who had; he after wards sold it to me for a shilling; he then paid me, and dis charged me. Cross-examined—The big trunk was corded. James Osborne examined—l live at No. 7, Garden-row, London-road, Southwark. I drive &cab, No. 960. I was on the stand by the Union Club. house, Charing-cross, on Thurs day morning, April 7. A young man go i ng by about twenty minutes to six told me to drive to Whitcombe-street. I drove there. I saw Daniel Good this morning in Newgate, and I know him. I saw him standing in Whitcombe- street, at the corner of Dorset-place, when I got there; he beckoned to me and gave me a large trunk, a bed, a small box, a basket and abundle to put in the cab. I put the large trunk on the box, and the other things inside. Daniel Good also got in, and told me to drive to the Spotted Horse in the Strand. I said I do not know the Spotted Horse_ there was th e S potte d Dog, was that th e pl ace h e meant? He said that was all the same, " I want to go to the booking-office." I drove him to the booking-office of the Spotted Dog, and assisted him in taking the luggage out of the cab, and placing it at the bar of the public-house, and Good booked it. He said it was to be booked till called for. He paid Bd. for the booking to a female who stood at the bar. He then paid me and discharged me. Cross-examined—Thetrunk was very large, and was a good deal worn ; it was so full that it would not close. There was a cord round it. Thomas Sayles deposed--I live at No. 19, Drury -court. I am a porter at Pedley's soda-water manufactory in the Strand. On Thursday, the 7th of April, I was waiter at the Spotted Dog, in the Strand. Oh, yes, I know the female prisoner— that's the person. I know Daniel Good. I saw him in New gate on Saturday. Daniel Good came to our house on the 7th of April, at ten o'clock in the morning, in company with the female prisoner; he had a beef-steak in his hand, and asked if I could conk it for him. I had a very bad fire at the time, and said he could not have it cooked at that time in the morn ing —it was a very unlikely time to come for such a thing. He appeared very much agitated at the time, and trembled. When I told him I could not cook it just then, he said, " Never mind that, so long as you do cook it; I don't care about wait ing; but I'm very hungry, and have had nothing to eat all night." He said, " I've been travelling by railway all night." I asked him which railway he came from ? "He said, " I don't know." The female was with him all the time. In a minute or two after wards he said " I came from Bristol." 1 then cooked his beef-steak, and they sat down and eat it together; the female and he each brought in a pint of beer from the bar. The female prisoner was in very high spirits, and was laughing all the time ; they conversed together a good deal, and appeared to be engaged in very deep conversatio n . I h eard the man say, " That b—h won't trouble you no more." I have no doubt about that. That was all I heard him say. Directly they got up the female (I think it was) asked me if they had better not take a cab and go to Whitechapel. I replied that it would be much cheaper for them to go in an omnibus, as there were plenty passed the door. The female said, " But they are all our things that lay before the bar." I was not aware of this until then. I then told them that of course they must have a cab, and Good went out immediately and engaged one. I saw the cab come up, and afterwards the things in it. They then went away together ; I saw them both in the cab. Good went out eight or nine times during the time the steak was cooking, which shows that he was agitated. They paid fur what they had at the bar. Cross-examined—l don't know whether the bar-maid is here ; I did not hear any talk about India ; I did not hear Good say that he had come from India. This was on Thurs day morning, 7th April. There is no other servant in the house but the barmaid. Ido not recollect the female saying anything, except asking me to drink. Good was dressed in a dark coat, drab breeches, and gaiters. George Bland examined—l live at Charles -street, Drury_ lane. I drive a cab, No. 430. I saw Daniel good at the Old Bailey on Saturday. On Thursday the 7th I was on the Spotted Dog stand at twenty minutes past eleven in the morn ing, when Good hired me. We agreed to drive to Aldgate. There were one or two bundles, a bed, and a box, put into the cab. I know the female prisoner. I saw her then. Good and she went together on the box. I drove them to No. 4, Flower and Dean-street, Spitalfields,l and when we got there the man carried them into the house, and the man and woman went into the house together. In about three minutes after the man came down and paid me my fare. William Pardoe Biddle examined—l live at No. 200, Brick lane, and am assistant to Mr. Soames, pawnbroker. I know the female prison er . Sh e li ves at No. 4, Fewer and Dean- Our shop is about twenty o r thi r t y h ouses di stant f rom Flower an d Dean street . I have s een D an i e l G oo d ;h e was shown tome at Newgate, on Saturday. He came to our house on Thursday, the 7th of April, about twelve o'clock, to inquire i if we would - fak e in a lot of articles in a trunk, and some bed ding and a bed, upon pledge. We objected to du so, saying that we did not lend money on such articles. He bothered us very much, and repeatedly said that they were his own. I said that we did not wait to be limbered up with • Police-sergeant Thornton examined—l watched the house where Molly Good lived ; it was in Flower and Dean-street. The prisoner Gamble lived at No. 2, Tindal-buildings, Gray's Inn-lane. I saw Gamble go into Molly Good's lodgings on Tuesday, the 12th of this month, about twelve o'clock in the day ; he remained th ere a b ou t an hour. I saw hi m leave the house, and saw Mary Good follow shortly after. She was in com pany with another female. I followed them ; they soon after joined Gamble in Bishopsgate-street ; they turned down Liverpool -street, and I traced them together till the evening of that day. I saw the two prisoners return to Mary Good's lodgings about 7 o'clock in the evening. I saw Gamble leave between 9 and 10; he had a bundle with him then tied up in a handkerchief. He had no bundle with him when he went into the house. He carried the bundle to Tindal-buildings. On Thursday the 14th I saw him leave Tindal-buildings, and followed him to Mary Good's. I saw him leave her house shortly after 11, however, on the same night. Previous to that I saw the two prisoners leave the George and Guy in Brick-lane together. On Saturday the 16th I searched Gamble's lodgings. Inspector Pearce accom panied me in the search. He lodged in the second floor front room. The prisoner was not present when we began the search. There were four beds in the room, and on the floor under the bed pointed out by the landlady as being his, I found the three gowns now produced. Gamble afterwards came in ; he was asked which bed he slept in, and he pointed to the one under which we had found the gowns. He was asked if he bad any property, and he said, " None." Mr. Pearce has a box with some shirts and things which he found at the lodgings. Mr. HALL—When he said he had no property, what was the question which you put to him ? Witness. —lt was whether he had any property about the bed, and he said ' None." Mr. Pearce then produced the gowns, and he said they had been given him by a friend. Examination continued—On the next day I searched Mary Good's lodgings, and found these pieces of silk ( blue and black ), anti this pillovr-case, wrapped up and laid on the sacking between two beds. I also found a black bag under the bolster, con taining a purse and a pair of mits. There was 3s. 10d. in the purse. I also found three table napkins, a pair of stockings, a table-cloth, two knives and forks, a pair of candlesticks, a decanter, and some china. By M. HALL—There were no other persons sleeping in this room beside Mary Good. I cannot tell whether Gamble has been in the habit of sleepingand cohabiting with Mary Good. Witness—l should add that there was another person slept in the same bed with Gamble. Gamble—l think, Sir, wi Ibe plenty of evidence that I have not cohabited witli this woman. Mr. HALL—You will have an opportunity of making your statement by-and-bye ; if you have any questions to put you can do so. Gamble —No, Sir, I have no questions. Mrs. Jane Clarke, who was examined at the time when Good was brought up here, and who resides at No. 18, South-street, Manchester-square, on her oath stated that she believed the three gowns, which the last witne ss found at Gamble's lodgings, to have been the property of the deceased. The deceased used to speak to me of Good as her husband. This piece of blue silk I identify as being part of that with which the bonnet in which the deceased was last seen was covered. Cross-examined—l cannot tell whether the deceased and Good were married. I was not very mush in the deceased's con fidence. I never saw her with a ring on during the three years that I knew her. That struck me as being rather singular. I thought it appeared as if she were a kept woman rather than wife ,but she always behaved herself very properly. Police constable 361/ &pond, that whilst on duty iu Pentonvi le, between the hours of II and 12 on Sunday night, he heard cries of " Murder." He immediately proceeded to 24 Market-street, Pentonville, and on entering the hoese foiiiid the prisoner with an open razor in his hand, struggling with his wifes whom he was endeavouring to throw on the ground. His children were all screaming about him. They were all nearly naked. After the con stable entered, the prisoner exclaimed, be would cut all their throats. One of the neighbours came to the policeman's assistance, and they succeded :n wresting the razor from his hand. The prisoner then seized the poker, and swore he would knock their brains out, but the neighbourhood having become alarmed by this time, a crowd of people rushed in and disarmed him. In answer to his Worship, the prisoner said he had a guar rd wilt' his wife as he had often, had before.—He was fined ss. An Irishman named Philips was charged with breakirg a gas lamp. The prisoner acknowledged having committed the offence, and alleged he did an that he might be sent to prison to get some food, he being in a state of starvation.—He was sent to prison for three days. UNION-HA L L. Joseph Gardner, a Lancashire man, was charged with utter ing counterfeit coin. Mrs. Baker, landlady of the Prince of Orange, Dockhead, stated that. the prisoner called at her house, and in payment for a glass of gin, tendered three bad shillings, one after another ; and when he was taken into custody he endeavoured to knock down the policeman, and he threw away a box con taining a great number of counterfeit shillings. Being a ci,mmon utterer, he was committed. Suicina if 4 A STATION-110USE.— Sergeant Frowd, L di vision, stated that a man named Henry Cogden was brought to the station-house in Tower-street on Saturday night, for Steal ing a piece of pork from a shop in Lambeth-walk on Saturday night. He was placed in one of the men's cells, and on open ing the door on Sunday morning he was found suspended by a piece of rope to one of the iron bars, and quite dead. By his appearance, he seemed to be in great distress. He has left a wife and family: An inquest will be held on the body. IVOR SHIP- 87'REE7. The Magistrate was engaged all the morning in disposing of ordinary cases of drunkenness and juvenile gambliog. The large number of the former class of offences clearly indicated that Father Matthew and his anti-bacchanalian preCepts are at a sad discount in the district. Daniel Brown, a ragged and wretched looking man, who appeared in a starting condition, was charged with having stolen a pewter pot, the property of Mr. Cosson. landlord of the Blue Last public house, Curtain-road, Shoreditch. The offence was clearly proved by one of the prosecutor's servants, who stopped the prisoner as he was leaving the house, and found the pot, concealed inside of his hat. The prisoner said that he was a journey„:an shoemaker, but had been nearly a month out of work, and Was impelled to commit the robbery to procure means of appeasing the cra:2"s of hunger. He had sold everything he possessed, even to the coat off his back, before he resorted to such a step, and num bers of his fellow-workmen were in the same destitute condi tion as himself. Grove the gaoler said, that the export trade in shoes was at present in a state of complete stagnation, in consequence of the proposed reduction of duty on the importation of manufactured leather, and hund'ecls of journeymen shoemakers had to his certain knowledge been thrown out of employment and reduced to the utmost distress and privation. Mr. BIOUGaroN said, that he could not allow the plea of dis tress to be used as an excuse for dishonesty, but instead of sending the prisoner for trial, he should convict hirti of having been found on the premises with a felonious intent, and com mit him for a month to the House of Correction.' STEALING A TILL.—Two young men, named Joseph Conway snd John Elvy. were charged with having stolen a till, containing about 1/. 17s. in silver and copper money, the property of %tr. Brinsden, landlord of the Bridport Arms public house, New North-road, Hoxton. It appeared that about 10 o'clock yesterday morning the pro secutor was called into the tap-room, and on returning back into the bar, a few minutes alter, he missed his till, containing the above-mentioned sum. The prisoners were in the act of leaving the house in company with another man, and observing that. Conway was carrying something uncle- his 'arm, the prose cutor pursued them, raising the cry of," stop thief," upon which the prisoner Conway threw the till i n t o t he roa d and ran off with his companion, but, after a short chase, the prisoners were secured and given into custody. The prisoners, who asserted their innocence, were fully committed. SALE AT STRAWBERRY HILL. This long announced sale commenced yesterday. A large wooden erection has been raised upon the lawn for the purpose of the sale, there not being a single apartment in the dwelling house of sufficiently ample dimensions. The sale opened with the library of books, to which six entire days will be devoted. This is not the most attractive portion of the effects, but the interest will increase when the different articles of virtu, the paintings, the rare. and beautiful miniatures, the china, the manuscripts and prints, are put up to competition. By the way, in spite of the positive announcement in the catalogua that it would be sacrilege to break up and sell in detail this fine col lection of prints, this practice is at last to be resorted to, and the prints are to be sold in London as soon as the rest of the property is disposed of at Strawberry-hill. From an early hour, a great concourse of company thronged the rooms, among whom were many members of the nobility. At one o'clock, Mr. Robins commenced the sale, after a brief introduction, in which he said, with regard to the arrangement of the books in the catalogue, it had been objected that it was incongruous and not very classical. His excuse was, that L'e had catalogued them exactly in the order in which Horace Walpole had left them on his shelves, and that arrangement he had thought it best not to disturb. ThA lots were then put up, and though there was no work of any great importance exhibited, the com petition was very eager. The proceeds of the day's sale were nearly 4001. THE STORM OF SUNDAY. During the raging of the storm on Sunday, a Yorkshire vessel called the Royal Albert, lying off Bow-creek, was struck by the electric fluid, which first took hold of the topmast, shivering it to atoms,. and severing the chain running rigging ; it then passed down the mainmast, splitting it in two, and scattering the mast hoops in all directions, and after wrenching the iron bands from the mast box, which were twisted and broken so as to be rendered use less, it descended to the hold, where it tore away the lining boards, and destroyed or damaged almost everything in the cabin, ultimately passing out at the window. There were five persons on board, the Captain (William Noble) and the mate being in thti, cabin through which the lightning passed, biut without doing either of them the slightest injury. The other three were on deck, one of whom was knocked down, but was not hurt. A great quantity of smoke immediately afterwards was seen issuing from the vessel, and it was at first thought that she was on fire, but on the smoke blowing away, and an examinati.in being made, it was found that no part had ignited. The damage done is estimated at between 60/. and WI. A great many houses in the eastern part of the metro polis have been more or less damaged. The Coach and Horses, kept,' by Mr. Smith, in Ratcliffe-highway, was par tially unroofed. Several stacks of chimneys, at Limehouse and Poplar, were struck by the lightning and thrown down; and in one instance a woman was severely scorched, but nut dangero,.sly. HAMBURGH MAIL.

CAPTAIN 3IARRYAT'S LAST NEW NOVEL.—A new and cheaper edition of this popular writer's last novel, " Joseph Rushbrook, or. the Poacher," has just appeared, in three vols., price 21s. In noticing this clever work, the Literary Gazette observes Like all the author's work, Joseph Rushbrook, or the Poacher, displays much talent, and taleiit directed to a beneficial end. As with Hogarth's Idle Apprentice,' he shows the natural progress of vice, from s'ight abberrations to fearful crime, and holds out a warning which, we trust, will not be lo,t upon those for whose good these pages are chiefly penned, nor upon those in higher station who may take many a sugges tion from them advantageous to society and to themselves. The story besides, is interesting; the changes of scene many and diversified ; the characters skilfully drawn ; and the adventures as various as the life of one engaged in continual struggles. In turn they are amusing and tragical ; and, altogether, we think the Poacher ought to have a license to sport throughout the country." The decay of the T'eth and Gums arises from various causes ; but, principally, it may be attribir ed to early neglect, ill health, and the use of booth Powders containing mineral and other deleterious acids, which give a momentary whiteness to the Teeth, while they con ode the enamel !—The extreme prevalence of this last cause is too well known to need comment. To this fact, indeed, is principally to be attributed the long Botanical research, which was happily terminated by the most felicitous discovery ever given to the world for the preservation of he Teeth, Gums, and l'ireath, viz. —Rowland s tidonto. or Pearl Dentifrice; this Powder new occupies a dis tinguisfied place at the Toilets of the Sovereigns and the nobility throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once announces the favour in which it is held by the public at large. No intelligence has been: received of the West India steam'r Tweed since the 6th of February. She was dispatched on that day to Carthagena and Chagres from Jamica. She is supposed to be short of coals, but no appre hensions are entertained for her sefety, and the Admiral has we understand, sent down a vessel from Jamaica with coals to her assistance. - - PARIS, APRIL 23.—The weather, which had for a fortnight been colder than had been the case for many years in April, has become suddenly very hot. We have now an Italian syk and temperature, and all that is wanted to promote rapid vezetwion is rain : a little fell last night, but it was not suf ficient to do much good., IMPERIAL P.L.tRLIAMENT. • • •:,..

The Duke of WELLINGTON in moving the th" reading of the Irish Spirit Duties Bill said, t ti from the inquiries he had made he was satie,f that the Bill would not increase illicit distillation..
