-DESTRUCTION OF THE BRITISH ARMY I CABOOL. We have been favoured with the following interesting la. ter from the only' uneaptured sursiivor of the Cabool army—De. Brydon. It is addressed to his brother, and dated Jeifalahad, January 20:-- " dear Tom,—Here I ant at this place, all safe, but not all sound, having received three wounds on the head, left hand, and knee. I have lost everything I had in the world ; but my lire has been saved in a most woederful manner, and I am the only European who has escaped from the Cabool army (although we have heard of two having been taken by the enemy, it is very doubtful if they will be spared). Two natives only have reached this place, making, with myself, three persons out of an army of 13,000. " I got on very well till within about 50 miles of this, with the exception of losing all my baggage, &c. I then lost the horse on which I was riding. Having taken one of my ser ; vents, who was wou n d e d, up b e hi n d me, we f e ll ra th er too f in the rear, when he was pulled off from behind. and I fell with him. I was instantly felled to the earth with the blow of a large knife, which wounded me in the head. I, how ever, managed to avert the second blow, by receiving my enemy's hand on the edge of my sword, by which his hand was somewhat damaged, and he dropped his knife, and made off as fast as he could, and I, following his good example, managed to reach the main bogy, minus my horse, cap, and shoe, which last I lost in the snow. I was then trudging along holding fest by the tail of another officer's horse, when a native, who was r iding close by, said that he could ride no further, and told me to take his horse, which I did without d e l a y. Ido not know who the man was, as it was quite dark at the time, but the saddle rust have belonged to an Affghan. I now got to the front, yehere I found a number of officers, who determined to push on, a•S the men would obey no orders. and were halting every minute, We travelled on slowly ail night, fired at occa sionally from the sides of the hills, and found ourselves at day break about 31,) miles from this, our party consisting of only seven officers, five European soldiers, and myself, the rest hav ing lost us i n the dark, and gone by some other road. "At about. ten A.M. We were attacked and surrounded on all sides by 'horsemen : three officers and the five Europeans weir h ere lei lied. One of the Officers was Lieutenant Bird, of the Madras army, who fell 'close by my side. I with the re maining four got clear of the horsemen, and pushed on ; three of our party 'being well mounted, left the fourth and myself far in the rear, when he, alter coming on some way, said his horse was done 'up, and that he would hide until night, for whi c h ,purpose he left me a b out four miles from this. - He was taken and killed. " I proceeded slowly for a short time, when I saw a great many people running towards me in all directions. I waited smil they got pretty close, and then pushed my horse into a gallop and ran the gauntlet for about two miles under a shower of large stones, sticks, and a few shots, in which I had my sword broken by a stone, my horse shot in the spine close to the tail, and my body bruised all over by the stones. I was now attacked by a horseman, who left a party of about six, whom I saw leading away one of our officers' horses who had gone on ahead ; these three were killed ; aad having nothing to defend myself with, and my hors e being q u it e d une u p, h e wounded me oar. the knee and hand, when seeing me stoop down he galloped a way as fast he could, thinking, I suppose, that I was looking for a pistol. I nosy proceeded unmolested, and arrived here about one o'clock, quite done up, as was also my poor horse, who lost the use of his hind legs next day, and died two days after without ever getting up after his arrival. If you rect sive this, let them know at home that I am alive, as I have not been able to write since October last, and perhaps we shall not have the road open when the next overland starts. Since arriving here I have had three shirts, three pair of socks, a jacket, and a pair of trousers given to me. A very fine stock', you will say; how ever, it must do until I can get another outfit. Write to me and let me know the news from home.--Your affectionate brother, WILLIA.M BRYDON. " S. I arrived here about noon on the 13th. All fur ther particulars you will find in the papers, so I can write no more at present, it being awkward holding soy paper whilst writing." MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUTENANT THE HOW. EDWARD SIDNEY YLTINKETT, OF THE 95TH REGIMENT. CHATHAM, APRIL s.—On Monday morning, at ten o'clock, the whole of the troops in this garrison mustered. on parade by order of the Commandant, Sir Thomas Willshire. On the ground were about 2,000 men, and they formed into thirty two divisions, with their full proportion of officers. The troops were formed into a square on the parade ground for the pur pose of promulgating the sentence of the court-martial held in this garrison on the 3d of March last, and which continued for the three following days. As soon as the soldiers had shouldered their arms, the Commandant called for Mr. Plunkett, and de sired Adjutant Hume, on the 95th Regiment, to go forward and escort Mr. Plunkett to the interior of the square. The Bri gade-Major O'Brien then announced the following sentence:— " The General Command er -i n -Chi e f having had the honour to lay before the Queen the proceedings of a general court martial held in Chatham barracks on the 3d of March, 1842, at.d continued by adjournment to the 7th of the same month, for the trial of Lieutenant E.

For having, after he had on the occasion beforemen tioned, and as senior officer present, placed Ensign Carew in arrest for strising Ensign Baines, another of the officers pre sent, and afterwards continued in his company, and at last overturned the tables, with the bottles, glasses, and other articles thereon, at the same time throwing down the said Ensign Carew, such conduct being, &c.

" Upon those charges the Court came to the following de " The Court having fully weighed and considered most maturely the whole of the evidence adduced in support of the prosecution, together with what he advanced and stated in his defence, is of opinion that he, Lieutenant E. S. Plunkett, with respect to the Ist charge, is not guilty, and the Court, there acquits him of the same. With respect to the 2d charge, that he is not guilty, and the Court, therefore, honourably acquits him of the same. With respect to the 3d charge, that he is guilty, with the exception of so much of the charge which ac cuses him • of, at the same time, throwing down Ensign Carew, and of which part of the said charge the Court therefore acquits him. With respect to the 4th charge, that he is guilty. With respect to the additional seharge -( the sth), he is not guilty. The Court having Sound the accused guilty of part of the third charge, and the whole of the fourth, which being a breach of thy articles of %var, does, in virtue thereof, sentence him, the said Lieutenant E..

MACDONALD , Adjutant-General. " Sir T. Wieesniax, in addressing Lieutenant Plunkett, re primanded Sim severely, and said. during the lorty-five years o f hi s miiita i ty service, he never before had the unpleasant duty of publicly reprimanding an officer. Ilia (Sir T. Wiltshire's) duty was disagreeable and unpleasant, and the reprimand which he now reccivai, he (the Commandziat) hoped would be a warning to him ('sir. Plunkett) for the f u t ure . Mr. Plunkett then reired, and the troops marched off. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY. —The Hingdove, 16, COM =ander Sir William Daniel, sailed on Monday afternoon. She sakes out despatches to the Commander-in-Chief at the West Indies and North America, and will first proceed to Bermuda, ce to Barbadoes. The Cornwall transport, of 850 tons, has come round from the eastward, and is now lying at Spithead. She i'about to pro cted to China with stores for the fleet, and will carry out the recen tly-appoi aced storekeeper and agent-victualler at Hong kong. She has for ballast a quantity of coals for the use of the steamers, and will, among other stores, take out 4GO tons of biscuits and flour. The Volcano steam-vessel arrived here yesterday from the eastward. It is understood that the Excellent, gunnery ship, is to have a steam-vessel as a tender. The object is to afford an oppor tunity for those officers who are at the Royal Naval College. and those on board the Excellent, to acquire a practical know ledge of steam navigation, which has now become so indispen sable in the nautical education of a naval officer. Another advantage likely to accrue from the Excellent having a steam tender is, that it will enable the officers who are studying the gunnery practice to acquire it more efficiesztly when the vessel is rolling and pitching at sea, than they cao do en board the Excellent, where the imitation of a vessel rolling and pitching is produced by artificial means ---a platform :being worked by machinery to produce such an effect. The Adventure, navy transport, will leave this port in the course of the day with stores for the eastward. .She will also carry the baggage of the 73d regiment of foot to Woolwich. Several transports are expected round from the river in the course of a few days, to convey the troops under ordets to em bark for India to their destination. The Resistance, 42, and the Crocodile, 26, troop-shipe, will eome here from Plymouth as soon as they are ready, to embark troAmi for India. The Daphne, 20, and the Benbow, 74, are daily expected ]some from the Mediterranean. The former vessel left Malta en the 20th of last month, and the Benbow on the day following. The Wasp, 16, is also hourly looked for. She was at Gib raltar nn the 24th salt., and was exp e ct e d to lea ve on t h e fol lowing m orn i ng. Ship at Spithead—The Cornwall, transport.

Wednesday they reached Canterbury, where they will remkin till their embarkation for India, which will, it is expected, take place in a few days. The men were in excel lent condition, and were loudly cheered in their progress through the numerous streets. THE SCOTS GREYS —This regiment marched from Brighton on Tuesday for Exeter. In consequence of the recent dis asters in India, Brighton will be for some time without a cavalry regiment, and the barracks will be occupied by the depot of the 19th Foot. INCREASE OF THE ARMY.—Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Hardinge, Secretary at War, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, and Sir Willoughby Gordon, Quarter-master General, are indefa• tigable in their exertions, at head- quarters, to facilitate the embarkation of the reinforcements for India.

The adjourned inquest on the bodies of Samuel and Edith Cook, who were found on the morning of Thursday the 31st alt., with their throats cut, at a cottage on Kingswood-hill, near Bristol, was resumed on Tuesday, before W. J. Ellis, Esq., Coroner for the county, at the King's Arms Inn. As on the former occasion the investigation seemed to excite much interest, and a number of the inhabitants of the village and neighbourhood assembled in front of the inn. The first witness called was Aaron Batt, who deposed to having had a conversation with the murderer, Samuel Cook, a few days since. Batt said the deceased appeared in a very sound state of mind, and spoke to him as rationally as any man could. A woman named Lucy, who occupied a house belonging to deceased, also deposed to her belief that he was not out of his mind. She described him as being a very kind brother, and very respectable man, and spoke to instances in which, within one or two days of his death, he had shown acts of kindness to the sister Edith Cook. The sister was quarrelsome and aggra vating, and on Tuesday accused him of having broken a jug purposely. He told her she was telling wilful lies, but she was in a passion and persisted, and he then said she should have her own way. He was sitting over the fire at the time, leaning his head down upon his hand, and she raised a poker, with which she was in the act of trimming the fire, and struck hint on the hand. According to the witness he made no complaint of this. Never heard him before then speak angrily to her, but she would often answer him crossly. She was dissatisfied, and would argue with him. By the Foreman of the Jury—Never saw anything in him that appeared as if he was out of his mind at all. He always spoke very reasonably. Elizabeth Fry, the wife of a labourer, residing in the vil lage, proved that she was at Cook's cottage for several hours during the Wednesday, when they seemed very comfortable to gether, and did not quarrel at all. Edith complained of being in great pain, and said, " Poor Sara" troubled very much about 1 1 her , and had been in and out of bed all night with her. kihe had begged him not to trouble himself, but he would do so. She said he wanted her to have Dr. Briggs to her, but she did not like to do so, as if he was to put on a blister on her hip she could not endure the pain of it. The sister was at this time unable to stand without hotting by the mantel-piece, and witness did not believe that she could walk at all. Witness recommended her to get some herbs and put to her hip, and the brother went out and got the herbs and made the dressing, and witness put it on the sister's person. The brother seemed quite reasonable at this time. At about a quarter -past seven o'clock witness went away. Samuel told her to come betimes next morning, but his sister said the afternoon would do. William Willis, labourer, said he went on Wednesday morn ing to give a message to Cook about the price of some timber. He saw Edith in the garden, and told her to tell her brother, but she said, " I will net. What is the use of talking to a crazy man ? lam afraid to 'bide in the house with him for he said he would kill me ." , In answer to a question by the Jury, he said he was not struck by the remark of the sister at all, as persons often quar relled in the neighbourhood. Did not tell any one of it. Arthur Stone (a brother-in-law to the Cooks), stated that about twenty-one years ago Cook received powerful religious impressions, which made him for several years low and un happy. About ten years ago, both he and his sister, in com mon with other members of the family, were afflicted with a " heavy fever." She went out of her mind for a while com pletely, and he had since been more careless respecting reli. gious matters, from which the witness was led to believe that he was not as right as he wes before that time. A member of the Jury said there was a very general rumour in the neighbourhood, that an improper intercourse had sub sisted between the two deceased persons, and that the sister was pregnant. He (the Juror) thought it would be well if that point were investigated. No other Juror expressed a similar wish, and uo evidence on the subject was called. The surgeon (Mr. Briggs) stated that in consequence of the doubt expressed at th e l as t meet i ng of the Jury with respect to the place where the body of the sister was found, and the probability of her having run to it, he had been again to see the body, and found a nightcap pulled forcibly into the wound, which must have considerably impeded the bleeding, and given the unhappy woman time to escape as far as the garden. There were no wounds on her fingers, and there could be no doubt that the wound was inflicted unexpectedly, as she was sitting in her chair by the fire-place. Francis Bryant deposed that he had observed latterly an alteration in the manner of Cook, who was his landlord, and had got more cross and crabbed than he used to be. About Christmas last be applied to witness for the same rent twice over. Witness told him he had paid it, and explained to him the circumstance, and he then said he recollected it. By the Jury—He was cross and crabbed. He spoke very reasonably, but seemed in a enrious way. Sarah Fry deposed to having visited the cottage on Wed nesday night after the witness Elisabeth Fry had left. She went to buy some potatoes, and Samuel Fry came down stairs and served her and took the money for them. She did not see the sister at that time, but heard some one moving about up stairs. Lived next door to the cottage, and heard no noise or quarrelling during the day or night. The CORONER inquired if there was any other testimony that could be adduced to threw light on the occasion. The constable said he had made every inquiry and could find no one else. The Court was then cleared, and after the Jury hadremained in deliberation several hours, the public were re-admitted. The inquiry on the body of Samuel Cook was then adjourned sine die, the Jury being unable to agree. In the case of Edith Cook the verdict returned was one of " Wilful murder against Samuel Cook." HORRIBLE DEPRAVITY. Wednesday an investigation, which lasted many hours, was gone into before Mr. W. C ar t er , t h e coroner f or Surrey, at the Kings Arms, near the new church at Camberwell, respecting the death of Elizabeth Madden, aged 68, whose suicide, it will be seen, was the result of the unparalleled infamy of her son and daughter. Inspector Pike stated, that on Sunday morning, about eight o'clock, he was walking on the banks of the Surrey Canal, when his attention was directed to something 2oating on the water, which he at one time supposed to be a dog, but on closer examination he discovered to be the body of a woman. He procured assistance, and the de • ceased was got out of the water, but life was quite extinct, and he directed it to be conveyed to the above house. The identification of the body having been established, James Madden was next called in. He said he was a printer, residing at No. 12, New-street, East-lane, Walworth. The deceased was his mother, and on Sunday he heard her body had been found in the Surrey Canal. He saw her alive at half. past one o'clock on Sunday • she was th en i n B urdett-street, 11 alworth common, and he did not leave her until half-past ten o'clock at night ; she was then in apparently good health. To the Coroner.-- Before he went away she asked him if he would stop to sleep. He would not go home, as his sister was very drunk. The Coroner.—Had the deceased been in want of food? Witness—Yes. A Juror—Now, you are upon your oath, and many of the Jury know more than yon imagine • state what caus e d th e d est i tut i on, and appa rently the suicide, of your own mother? Witness—My sister p'.edged all for liquor. The Juror —Was it your mother's property ? Wit ness — N o; she was a laundress, and the linen belonged to families at the west end of the town, for whom she worked. The Juror— How long is it do you sup pose she has wanted proper nourishment, or even ordinary food? Witness—Six weeks. The Coroner—On this night of which you have been speaking what occurred between you and your mother ? Witness—She s a id s h e s h ou ld b e driven away by some person. She was lightheaded, and all was pawned, and that caused her destruction. Elizabeth Wigg, the daughter, was sent for, and when she came to be sworn was evidently in such a beastly state of intoxication that the Coroner refused to take her evidence, and ordered her out of the room. The brother-in-law of the daughter was brought forward by Mr. Clifford, the relieving-officer. He stated that he saw his sister-in-law on Saturday, and she was hen very drunk. The Coroner—Can you tell the Jury how t was the deceased was driven to the deplorable state in which she appears to have been? Witness—She only gave way by threats. The Coroner—From whom ? Witness —From my sister-in-law ; she would take the poker and threaten to dash her mother's brains out if she did not go and pledge things to get drunk. A Juror—What do you think caused the act she has committed? Witness--The ill-usage of her daughter. The Coroner referred to the facts, and observed, it was one of the most painful and disgusting disclosures he had ever heard. The Foreman said he was of opinion the daughter ought to be taken into custody. The Inspector of Police— We shall feadily do that, if any one will give her in charge, but at present we are not justified in doing so, arid I may add, this case will not be lost sight of. The Jury consulted for a long while before they could agree to a verdict, and then handed the following special return to the Coroner :—" We find that the deceased destroyed herself, being at the time in a state of temporary insanity arising from the ill-treatment on the part of her daughter, and the depravity of her son James." The police have found an immense number of du plicates of property belonging to persons in high rank at the w -st end of the town ; but at present it is not advisable to state their names. HORRIBLE MURDER.—On Wednesday night the body of a female was found lying in the stables attached to Mr. Shiel's residence in Park-lane, Putney, quite dead ; and upon examination not the least doubt is entertained, from the dread- • . . i lo3> Loan of City, 1232, 4 per Cent lB ful wounds inflicted upon her body, that the unfortunate wo- Societyet Comm , rce, 4;S per Cent Ft2 man was murdered.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 8, 1842, TRIAL IN CORSICA. The Court of Assizes for Corsica. was engaged, dtiriur the '):sth Prlll 26th February. in the trial of man p aine d r.ir an attenipt to Cl,lll3Alit 111.1T dc:-, the cii,unistanees which are interesting, they show the rude manners, customs, and charamer of the wilder parts of the island. In the commune of Levie, arrondissement of Sartene, is an extensive sweep of country almost entirely covered with primitive forest and brushwood, no part of which has been cul tivated by the hand of man, and where there are no roads or even paths, except the tracks made by the sheep and other cattle, and the herds and shepherds who attend them. It is inhabited by a single family, or tribe, called the Cucchi, who live in rude huts and cabins, and whose existence would have been unknown but for their acts of rapine and violence in the country around them. In the same district was another family or tribe, the Susini, and which had some alliances with the Cucchi, but were of a character more mild and pacific, carrying on a traffic with their cattle in the neighbouring communes. This, by increasing their means, excited the cupidity of the Cucchi, and made them liable to repeated invasions from them, not unfrequently attended by murders. This in time called down upon the family of the Cucchi the ven geance of justice, and, in the course of a few years, 24 of the principal members of the family were an. rested, tried, and condemned to the severest penalties of the law. Some years ago, however, Mathieu Moisetti formed a close intimacy with Sorba Cucchi, and they lived together as man and wife; but at last he left her, and joined the Susini. Moisetti was with out family or fortune; but from his ability, courage, insinuating manners, and humanity, was superior to those among whom he lived. A new-born child being found deserted at the door of a church, and no one else being willing to take charge of it, Moisetti adopted it, and brought it up as his own. By this benevo lence he gained the general good-will of the Susini ; but he soon abused their confidence, by seducing a young girl of the family named Eugenie, who became with child by him. This violation excited the ani mosity of the Susini, which, after a time, was appeased, by Moisetti's promising to marry Eugenie. Still, it appears, Moisetti kept up his intercourse with Sorba Cucchi. Francois Susini, an uncle of Eugenie, was one of the greatest advocates for the marriage of his niece, and in October last was Locompanylng Moi setti to visit her at Ogliastrello, where she lived. It was in the dark of the evening, and when they arrived at a place called Rognoso, three shots were fired at them, but without effect. They both fled and escaped. Various conjec tures were formed as to the actors in this at - tempt, the Cucchi endeavouring to persuade Moisetti that he had been led into the snare by Francois Susini, in order to gratify the vengeance of his brother Qui licus, the father of Eugenie. Under this impression, Moisetti raised an accusation against the Susini, and a feud between the two families was likely to ensue. M. Peretti, a rich and influential landowner, of the com mune of Levie, interfered, and, to prevent the san guinary consequences, succeeded in prevailing upon the contending tribes to observe a very ancient custom which had existed in Corsica from the middle ages, and enter into a truce, which both parties solemnly swore to observe until the end of March, when they were to meet again before their mediator that he might, if possible, effect a permanent reconciliation. In the interval the Susini endeavoured to exculpate themselves in the mind of Moisetti,. who was induced to renew his promise of marriage to Eugenie, on condi tion that the Susini would protect him against the re lations of Sorba Cucchi, who had delared their resolu tion to prevent or avenge the marriage. Affairs were in this state, when about the middle of November, as Moisetti was returning home from the moun tains, accompanied by a person named Caroletti, and his son, a boy 10 years old, and carrying in his own arms the child he had adopted, they had arrived at a spot called the Carracuto, when a gun was fired, and a ball broke the right wrist of the child, and wounded Moisetti in the side. Every en deavour to discover the assassin was in vain. Moisetti, calling to mind the threats of Sorba Cucchi and her friends, suspected that the attack came from them. They hastened to attend him in his wounded state, which soon cured, and, at the same time, turned his mistrust of them against the Susini, who grounded their defence on the plea that they could have no motive for seeking his life, as they wished him to repair by marriage the injury done to their honour through Eugenie. Through their representations Moisetti laid an information against three of the Cucchi as guilty of the attack. Warrants were issued against them, and they fled, and concealed themselves in the mountains. From this time Moisetti returned into friendly intercourse with the Susini, except Quilicus, the uncle of Eugenie, whom Moisetti still appeared to be inclined to make his wife, but the necessary pre vious formalities were drawn out by delays which the Susini attributed to Moisetti, until Jan. 6, when they were complete, and nothing remained but to fix the day of celebration. In the evening of that day Francois Susini, a cousin of Eugenie's, to whom Moisetti im puted frequently the attempt made upon his life at the Rognoso, was fired upon as he was returning home to his own 'house at Monticello, and wounded in the left thigh. Although an investigation was im mediately made by the Magistrate of the district, no one was pointed out as the suspected person, until after three days, when Francois Susini accused Moisetti, who, on hearing of the charge, denied its truth, and maintained that it was impossible as, at the time of the attempt, he was a three hours' walk distant from the spot where Francois Susini was struck. The wounded man refused to give credit to this alibi, and persisted in his charge. A month after, and not till then, a warrant for the arrest of Moisetti was issued, and he fled. Through friends, a communication was kept up between him and the Susini, till the one party engaged to fulfil his contract of marriage with Eugenie, and her family promising to do all in their power to obtain his acquittal on his trial, for the attempt to murder their relative Francois. This mutual agree ment being settled the banns were published, and the bandit Moisetti, though liable to the arrest, was mar. ried to Eugenie in the pr esence o f near l y all her family, and th e bride and bridegroom escorted by them to the abode taken for them. After passing a few days with his wife, the Assizes came on, and Moisetti stir= rendered himself to take his trial. His appearance in Court excited general interest. He is between 25 and 30 years of age, of middle size, with a light beard . scarcely visible on his chin, contrasting strangely with very black arid long hair falling over his face from under his high-pointed cap, giving a power ful expression to his countenance, which at the same time was agreeable. His attitude was firm and digni fied, meeting his Judges with respect but confidence, and not noticing his enemies. The first witness (the prosecutor) deposed that on account of dark ness and the concealment of the brushwood, from behind which he was fired at, he could not see the assassin. He, under the circumstances of the exist ence of the truce, and the contract between Moisetti and the family for his marriage with Eugenie, had no suspicion of the prisoner until evil advisers insinuated that the attempt must have been made by him, in order to avoid the proposed marriage. The celebration of the marriage had convinced him that these suspicions were false, for he never would have forgiven a man who he believed had attempted his life. The rest of the evidence was upon the facts we have stated, and upon the alibi, which was not distinctly made out. One circumstance also weighed strongly against Moisetti. It was proved that his own gun, which he usually carried with him, was of small calibre, but on the day of the at tempt he was observed with one of a larger size, must from the dimension of the ball have been that with which the prosecutor was fired at. Moisetti, al though assisted by counsel, frequently examined the witnesses, and addressed the Court with a propriety, eloquence, and correctness of memory, which sur prised all present, and drew even from the President an expression of admiration. The Jury, however, after a very short deliberation, delivered a verdict .of guilty of an attempt to murder, but found that the re were extenuating circumstances. The Court sen tenced him to hard labour at the hulk 4 for eight years. Moisetti has appealed to the Court of Cassation. DUTCH FUNDS.—AMMTZRDADI, APRIL 5. Actual Debt, 4 3f1 Money.

MONTROSE BURGIIS.—W e are glad to learn that a very general feeling in favour of the return of Mr. Hume pre vaits in the Montrese district of burghs. A strong p oof of this has been afforded by the independent electors of Forfar, which is alike creditable to themselves and to the object of their choice. On the Ist inst. they assembled at a public meet ing in the Town. hall, Provost Boath in the Chair, and una- Odsiously agreed to invite Mr. Hume on the following terms;—" That this meeting agree to support Mr. Hume; and, considering his very long and faithful public services in the cause of the people, they think it their duty to put him to no trouble in regard to a personal canvass, or to unnecessary ex penses, so f ar as t h e constituency of Forfar are concerned ; and to further these objects, the electors present, who agree to this resolution, shall sign a declaration to that effect, and also a requisition to Mr. Hume to become a candidate. That a Com mittee be appointed to wait upon those of the electors not pre sent, for the purpose of requesting them to sign the declaration and requisition; and that the requisitio be forwarded to Mr, flume by the first mail, if signed by a majority of the electors. That the Committee appointed, continue in existence until Mr. Hume's resolution is known; and that afterwards, if thought necessary, they shall continue to act to secure his return. That they have power to add to their number." The Com mittee consisted of the Provost, Magistrates, and principal in habitants, who immediately proceeded with the requisition, and in a very short time obtained the signatures of 172 of their number, being a majority of the whole registered electors of the burgh. Similar steps, we hear, are being adopted in the other burghs.—Scotsman. TARIFF AND INCOME TAX.—MEETING OF FARMERS. —A meeting of farmers, and others belonging to the county, interested in the measures affecting agriculture, proposed by Sir Robert Peel, was held yesterday in Paxton's large room, Royal Exchange, Sir Alexander M. Gibson in the Chair. They adapted resolutions, condemning the alteration in the Corn laws, the regulations for importing cattle, the increased duties on linseed cake (which is said to he another mistske of the tariff printer), and an income tax.—Ayr Observer. 1V e deeply regret, and we are sure that our readers will join in our feelings, to record the death, at Hard-. wick Hall, on Tuesday last, of John Cottingham, Esq., for many years agent to his Grace the Duke of Devonshire.—Derbyshire Chronicle. NEW THEATRICAL FUND.—It is not, we believe, generally known that the benevolent funds connected with Drury Lane and Covent Garden Theatres are rigidly limited to those actors who have for a certain number of seasons been attached to one or other of those establishments, and no one is allowed to participate in their objects whose salaries have been below a given amount. To obviate this, the members of the Queen's Theatre have formed an Institution, called " The Queen's Theatrical Provident Fund," and which is liberaly thrown open to all members of the theatrical profession, se curing to them in the decline of life, or when incapacitated by age or accident, a refuge from destitution and the bitterness of dependence on others for casual support. We understand this meritorious Institution is going on most prosperously, and that the originators may succeed in their praiseworthy endeavours we sincerely desire ; nor do we the less warmly hope that the wealthy will forward their subscriptions in order to affect this desirable object, by which a number of persons will be saved from want whe have, in one shape or other, contributed to the amusement cf a large portion of the public. THE HAGUE, APRIL 4.-IV - ell-informed persons affirm that a numerous list of promotions in the Army will shortly appear. We are assured that among the projects of law 'Thigh the Government is preparing, there is one respecting the construction of an iron railway, from Maestricht to the Prussian frontier, with a branch to the coal mines of Perterade. Lord Stanley has refused to recommend the ces sion of the sovereignty of the Chatham Islands to the town of Hamburgh, and has attached them as dependencies to the Go vernment of New Zealand. We are happy to state, on the authority of a private letter to a highly respectable house in this town, dated the 19th of February, two days later than the published accounts, that " the hopes entertained, in reference to the safety of the prisoners at Cabool, were rather brightening."—Liverpool Courier. PICCADILLY IMPROVEMENTS.—The Commissioners of Woods and Forests, it is said, have decided on limiting the improvements consequent on the removal of the Ranger's lodge in the Green Park, to the formation of a gravel walk, in con tinuation of the present one from Hyde Park-corner, and the substitution of an iron railing and dwarf wall, instead of the present blank wall. There is no intention of erecting a terrace from Hyde Park-corner to Devonshire House, on the site of the Green Park. THE ABDUCTION CASE.—Samuel Martin Copeland, the individual who has figured in the abduction case at Liver pool as Mr. Martin, has been arrested on a charge of conspiring with others to defraud Miss Crellin of a sum of money. Miss Crellin was examined at the Liverpool Police-court on Tues day, and stated that the prisoner was the Mr. Martin who had received from her 2501., and who had made proposals of mar riage to her. She afterwards ascertained that he was a mar ried man. The prisoner was remanded till Friday, when he will be brought up with the rest. We have heard that Lord Belhaven will now cease to represent her Majesty in the meetings of the General As sembly, and that either Lord Arbuthnot or Lord Stratnallan will be the new Lord High Commissioner.—Glasgow Courier. DARING ROBBERY AT SHOOTER'S lIILL.—On Tuesday night, about half -past eight o'clock, two swell cracks men drove up to the Bull Inn, and alighted from a one-horse chaise, and it is supposed a third was with them, as three were subsequently seen together. The two first went into the bar parlour and got into Conversation with some respect able gentlemen from Either; and ordered some brandy and water. They had not left the Bull many minutes when Mrs. Welborne sent the servant girl up-stairs for the key of the bar-door (a half one, which shuts with a spring lock, and which had, no doubt, been forced to by the villains on their departure), when she immediately returned in a state of great alarm, as she discovered that all the drawers and a writing desk had been plundered of plate and money to the amount of 301., and also a number of articles of jewellery belonging to the landladies, Sirs. Francis and Mrs. Welborne. No time was to be lost, and upon an application being made to the post master at the Red Lion, who has express horses in continual readiness thef f o e r w n journals,William Love, his fore man , scoundrels towards London, whilst another mounted horseman was sent in the opposite direction. Love came up with them near the Green Alan turnpike -gate in the Kent-road, where a sharp encounter took place, but being overpowered, the thieves effected their escape. However he succeeded in securing the horse and chaise, which he brought back to the Greenwich police-station. These landladies are much respected in the neighbourhood, and have had a hard winter to struggle through, at a high rent, which makes their loss of the more serious con sequence to them. SUICIDE BY A TRADESMAN.—Wednesday evening Mr. Payne held an inquest at the Hope, Jewry-street, Ald gate, on view of the body of James Garrard, aged 67. Sarah Howell, of 5, Cock-court, Jewry -street, stated she had been acquainted with deceased upwards of two years. He was a carpenter, and occupied the house next door but one to witness. Deceased's wife died a few years since, and from that period deceased had suffered under the utmost despondency. Witness had kept house for deceased ever since his wife's death. She found deceased suspended by a rope round his neck from a beam that runs along the roof of th e coa l- ce ll ar. J ohn Walker, shopman to Mr. Curtis, Jewry-street, butcher, stated that deceased had become greatly altered since the death of his wife, with whom he had lived nearly 40 years, and to whom he was greatly attached. The Jury returned a verdict—" That deceased committed self-destruction while labouring under temporary insanity." EXTRAORDINARY INQUEST.—An unfortunate man was found dead with a copy of Punch in his hand. It was proved that he had been reading a number of that publication, when he was seized with a fit of laughter, followed by a splitting of ' the sides, which soon terminated fatally. Medical aid was im mediately called in, and the sufferer was wrapped in sheets of the Morning Herald, which are generally recom mended in such cases as equal to wet blankets ; but the unhappy subscriber gave his last laugh, and expired with a convulsive grin upon every feature. A long investigation took place as to the treatment the patient had been submitted to, and the Coroner thought that if the application of the Herald had been earlier, it might have saved the man's life. The Jury, after an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict of Justifiable Split-the-side, with a deodand of threepence on the number of Punch that occasioned theaceident.—Puri-r& The following deplorable accident occurred a few days ago at the Lying-in Hospital in the rue de la Bourbe A young woman intrusted with the care of the new-born infants until they were sent away to the wet-nurses, being obliged to supply them night and day with milk from biberons (bottles made on purpose) became so worn out by her constant watch ing, that, in order to gain a few hours' sleep, she boiled a poppy-head in the milk she was to give the babies in the early part of the night. The soporific took effect, and, having no dread of the consequences, the young nurse lay down in her clethes, ready to get up again at the first cry. She, however, did not awake till the sun was up ; sure; ised that she had been left quiet so long, she went to look at her numerous charges, and found them still sound asleep. This long dura tion of repose, knowing what she had administered, alarmed her, and she took every means she could to rouse them. All these being in vain, she felt a c onviction that she had killed them. With a courage and self-devotion which was scarcely to be expeeted from one in the position in which she had placed herself, she hastened to the medical officers in the establishment, and candidly told them what she had done. Every remedy was immediately resorted to, and happily eight out of the nine infants who were under the influence of the narcotic were revived, but the last, which was only :_l6 hours old, was irrecoverable. An investigation took place, but the poor girl was £0 distresied at what had happened, and at the same time bore such an excellent character for the persever ing humanito with which she had long exercised Ler delicate and arduous duties, so that she wys held up as an example to others in whom similar trust was placed, that the magistrates considered it to be a simple act of imprudence, and would not submit her to prosecution. SUDDEN DEATH OF SIR ROSS MAIION.—Sir ROSS Mahon died suddenly this morning, at his residence, in Ste phen's•green. He was to have attended the Garrison Steeple Chase this day ; but when the party with whom he was to pro ceed called at his house, they learned the afflicting circum stances of the sudden demise of the young baronet. Sir Ross Mahon was a Lieutenant in the 60th Rifles, and one of the Aides-de-Camp of the Lord-Lieutenant.—Dubli n Paper. V.k 1. MA g Mr. PAYNE, who appeared for the prisoner, addressed the Jury for the defence, and called several witnesses, all of whom gave the. prisoner a good character for mikLess of disposition and humanity. Mr. Justice ERSKINE summed up the evidence, and the Jury found the prisoner guilty of assault only. He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and bard labour. George Coley, aged 38, was indicted for assaulting and wounding Richard Pratley, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. It appeared that the prosecutor had been playing at skittles, drinking at the house of the prisoner, who keeps the sign of the Hoops at Kensington Gravel-pits. At the proper time the prisoner desired the prosecutor and his companions to leave the ground, and at the same time extinguished the lights, in order to compel them to leave off playing. Upon being pressed, however, he consented to allow them to finish their game, and then again requested them to leave the house. The prosecutor refused to go, and some opprobrious language passed b e t ween them. Th e pr i soner sa id h e would fetch a policeman, and put the prosecutor where he was before ; he went out, but shortly returned, armed with a stick. He again desired the prosecutor to go away, and instantly struck him such a violent blow on the head as to knock him down, and stun him for some time, inflicting a wound two inches in length. It was admitted by the prosecutor, upon cross-exami nation, that he had been several times in prison for drunken ness and disorderly conduct, and also for assaults up ,n the police; he also admitted that he was a prize—fighter, and had been frequently mixed up in quarrels. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE having summed up, a verdict of Guilty of an assault was returned. The Learned JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to six months' hard labour in the House of Correction. NEW COURT. The cases to-day were uninteresting ; but, as a specimen of life in London, we may state that a policeman, in alluding to a gentleman who keeps a cab, added that he believed the gentle man's mother at the same time keeps a brothel, but then it is one of the highest respectability. LICE IN T.A.LIGENCE. BO W-STREET. A very well attired man was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a purse, containing 31. 89. 6d., from a lady in the Adelaide Gallery. Previous to any evidence being taken the prisoner requested Mr. Hall to postpone the case for a few hunrs, till the arrival of his solicitor, fur whom he had sent that morning. As the witnesses in the case, however, were very numerous, and it would be inconvenient for them to stay, his request was not granted. The witnesses in this pickpocket case were very numerous, but as the prosecutrix's eviiience will sufficiently explain the charge, we content ourselves with giving it. Mary Henson, the presecutrix, a talkative middle-aged lady, stated, with many circumlocutions, that last evening, about a quarter to nine, she was in the Adelaide Gallery, hearing the little Sappho sing. Whilst standing there, she felt some one pick her pocket, and perceived that her purse, containing 31. Bs. tid., was gone ; she suspected the pi isoner, and followed him. When he got to th e en d o f t h e Gallery he ' made a bolt, whereupon she laid hold of hi . n ; he dragged her down the stairs. She then threw herself in his way, and prevented his egress, at the same time calling for assistance, when he threw the purse over the bannisters. Assistance soon arrived, and the constable to-di him into costedy. The next witness was the stout, gallant, little, old gentle man, with black coat, vest , and unwhisperables, and their in variable aceompaniment r a white neckerchief, who went to the lady's assistance. Then came the pert, oily-looking servant girl who picked up the purse. Then came the good-looking, knowing, officious young man, with Sir Peter Laurie's abomination hair, whiskers, cravat, and Taglioni. Then came the tall policeman, who did not know the pri soner, but who had suspected him all the time ; who stated that gentlemen like him went much about just now to Ade laide Galleries, Polytechnic Institutions, and .Pantheons ; who searched the prisoner, and who found on him l Is. in money, a breast pin, and a penknife, such as is used to cut ladies' pockets. Three or four witnesses next rushed forward, anxious to be heard, but, much to their apparent disappointment, they were informed that the case was sufficiently proved, and that their evidence would not be required. Amongst the aspirants for the honour of bearing testimony in this case, we plainly ob served the prosecutrix's husband, a fat, paternal old gen tleman, whose countenance indicated the most dreadful abhorrence at any man who could think of committing a robbery in an illegitimate way. The eldest son, the prop and pride of the family, whose hints tendered on more than one occasion to his mamma exhibited his desire that everything should be done properly. The eldest daughter, a good-looking young lady, who would fain be examined to show how much better she could do it than her mamma, and her youngest son, who came there to get a little insight into police business. Another old gentleman who came second to the assistance of the lady; and another buckish middle aged gentleman, with his hair so stiffly curled, as almost to raise him from the ground, who was anxious to explain every thing, but who was not allowed to say anything. The prisoner was committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. John Pearce, a middle-aged man, very .respectably dressed was placed at the bar charged with the following robbery : Mr. H. Heaney, of the Britannia public-house, Berwick street, Soho, stated, that on Wednesday night the prisoner came to his house and engaged a bed for the night. On ' his coming down stairs next morning, an alteration was noticed in his size, which, exciting suspicion, the prisoner was prevented from going away, and, on examining the room he had slept in, one of the blankets was missing from off the bed. On searching him, it was found wrapped round his waist. Mr. HAitywlcx (the presiding Magistrate)—Prisoner, do you wish to say anything in answer to this charge? Prisoner-- Why, Sir, what can I say ? The blanket was found wrapped round my waist. He wrs fully committed. Numerous public-houses in the neighbourhood, have been robbed under similar circumstances. James Matthews, a sharp, knowing boy, about IS years of age, who is known to the police as one of a gang of young thieves infesting Regent -street and the vicinity, was committed to take his trial at the present sittings of the Central Criminal Court, charged with being concerned in the following daring robbery. Between 8 and 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning, the prisoner, in company with another boy much younger than himself, were seen lurking about and watching the shop of Mr. Daniel Bay, of No. 43, Regent-street, Mackintosh cloak, &c., manufacturer, and at length the younger boy crept into the shop on his hands and knees, and very adroitly reached down two Maekiwosh cloaks, of the value of 2/. 10s. each, with which he crawled into the street, and having given them to the pri soner, was making off together, but Mr. Box's shopman having been informed of what had occurred, pursued, calling " Stop thief," on which the prisoner threw down the stolen property, but nearly at the same instant was taken into custody. The other boy, hove ever, managed to escape. The prisoner, on being asked if he wished to soy anything in his defence, replied saucily, " Not a bit of it, your Worship ;" and as he was being led to the lock-up cells, he began singing the noted flash song of "And 1 shall go up Holborn-hill," &c. Ann Coates, a young woman of very dissipated appearance, was remanded on a charge of having stripped a furnished room she had taken on Thursday last, at the house of Mr. Green, of No. 35, Berwick-street, Soho, undertaker, of every porta ble article it contained, even to the carpet, and six large framed oil paintings. The property was found pledged in the neighbourhood. She began clearing the room on Friday morning last. Yesterday afternoon, just at the close of this Court, Mr, Barnard Gregory, the proprkor and editor of the Satirist weekly newspaper, was brought up in custody of Gibbett, one of the police-constables, appointed to serve the processes of the Court, on a warrant that had been issued on an indictment found against him this morning at the Central Criminal Court, " for unlawfully, wickedly, maliciously, and designedly print ing, and publishing, and causing, and procuring to be printed LAW INTELLIGENCE. INS O VP :VT I)EPTO ;!S" .;tJ I. T 1 7 .4p,•• ;I 7 . ER JEAN ALT:i.A.:,7nER T1111.L.11-E TAT. StiF.D .48 crwriT Me,;Jay, the pecuiar ciretnn:tanes in which tht insul,kt cvas placeet were i)rought before the Court, \then it ap. peared that he tx as a person of high scientific attainments, and the inventor of a certain method of generating gas by a much cheaper process than that usually followed. The merit of this this invention had been tested before his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, and several of the most eminent scientific men of the day, who pronounced mo,t favourably upon it. It was stated to the Court that the insolvent was in such a state of extreme destitution, that he was unable to appear on his petition owing to the wretched state of his dress, when an order was made that he should re ceive 31. to be enabled to come up to be heard. Upon the insolvent entering the box this day, Mr. Commissioner Ha anis inquired who acted as his at torney, and having been informed that it was Mr. Buchannan, h e said that gentleman's conduct was wholly inexcusable, in bringing him to-day, as it was Mr. Commissioner Law who heard the commencement of the case, and it was before him it should have been terminated. Mr. Woonitorex said a letter had been addressed to Mr. Mears, the Clerk of the Court, by Mr: Commissioner Law, desiring that the case might be brought before any of the Learned Commissioners, who might chance to be sitting in Court on the day when it was rile for hearing. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said he received a lette: yester day from Mr. Commissioner Law, expressing surprise that the ease should have been brought on his absence. Mr. Commissioner Law's letter having been produced, autho rising the ease to come on during hie Alence, The Learned Sitting CO3I3IISSIOI La said under those cir cumstances he felt bound to exonerate Mr. Buchanan from the censure which he felt in the first instance inclined to attach to his conduct. M. Estieu, who was a creditor for 212/., applied to have the schedule amended, as his name was inserted for a debt of only 621.—Granted. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said as the case had been so fre quently adjourned, a day's delay would he of little consequence, and he should, therefore, order the case to stand over until his Learned Colleague was sitting. ILE JOHN ROBE. The insolvent in this case was described as a dealer in plated goods, carrying on business in Whitechapel-road. The amount ' of debts and liabilities appearing in the schedule exceeded 1,2121. Mr. Knight, of Whitechapel-road, was subjected to a long examination concerning a certain assignment executed by the insolvent in his favour, by which it appea d . that it was granted for a loan of 1501. upon property, which ruralised by sale a much larger sum. The deed had not been executed three clear months before the date of the vesting order, and was conse quently legally invalid. Mr. Knight having agreed to pay intt court the ballnee between the sum lent and that realized, the case was ordered to stand adjourned generally until the contract was fulfided, after which the insolvent could appear in Court , tpon two days' notice to be discharged. CRIMINAL COURT, YESTERDAY. OLD COURT. Alfred Flight, a sailor boy, was indicted for feloniously stab bing anti wounding Charles Swanson, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm, within the liberty of her 1114.. sty's Tower of London. From the evidence of the prosecutor, it appeared, that he and the prisoner were engaged on board a ship called the London. The prisoner w 3 an apprentice on board the ship, and the prosecutor was the ship's cook. On the 28th January last., the prosecutor and prisoner were engaged in handing bars of iron into the hold of the ship. As the bars were handed down they accidentally struck the prisoner once or twice, and he said to the prosecutor "did you d that for the purpose,'! and the prosecutor said in answer that he had not. Shortly afterwards another one struck the prisoner, and he took up a log of wood and threw it at the prosecutor, and struck him on the thumb. This was between nine anti ten o'clock in the evening. The prisoner went to the mate, and complained of the treatment he had received from the cook ; but the mate said, if he did not go about his business, he would give him a d-d good thrashing. The prisoner then went to the quarter cleat, and the prosecutor followed him. The prisoner got into the rigging out of the way of the cook, but the prosecutor struck him several times with a rope, and the pri soner drew his knife and stabbed the prosecutor in the shoulder. He was taken to a surgeon, and the wound was dressed. He was subsequently taken to the London Hospital. The prisoner was given into custody, when he told the police-officer, that he had stabbed the cook in self-defence, as he had been ill-treated by him. _ _ is - T It appeared that in consequence of a long continued course of misconduct on the part of the prisoners, they were taken on the preceding day before the Board of Guardians, and on being admonished by the Chairman upon the impropriety of their behaviour, they began to abuse him and the other members of the Board in the most obscene and disgustinr, language, a n d p os iti ve l y re f use d to withdraw when ordered to do so. Hunter, the beadle, was desired to remove them, but the prisoners fell upon him, and struck him several severe blows ; and they also assailed some other officers, who went to his assistance, in a similar manner. Mr. Pulley, the Vestry Clerk said he was instructed by the board to request that the Magistrate would make a severe ex ample of the prisoners. in their defence the prisoners said their fare for two days had been nothing but bread ar.d potatoes, and having been threatened with a continuance of the same meagre diet for two days longer, they felt exasperated at being subjected to such treatment. Mr. Pulley said that the prisoners had been placed on short allowance, in consequence of a complaint from the Chaplain that they had grossly misconducted themselves in chapel. Dlr. BINOHAM said it was evident, from the robust and healthy appearance of the prisoners, that they were much better fed and treated than many of the poor hard-working sate-payers who contributed towards their support, and theleast they could do was to conduct themselves with decency and civility whilst they were maintained at the public expense. He should make an example of the prisoners, in compliance with the wish of the Board; and, instead of dealing with them under the Act of Parliament applicable to ordinary cases of misconduct in the workhouse, he should fine them 40s. each, and in default of payment, commit them for two calendar months to the House of Correction. The prisoners, on hearing the decision, launched forth a volley of abuse against the Magistrate and the parish autho rities, which they kept up until they were removed out of hear ing by the gpler. UNION-HALL. John Simmons, dressed in fashionable style, was charged with robbing Alr. Duckfield, foreman of Deptford Dockyard, of a watch. The complainant said that on the preceding evening he stopped in Wellington-street, near' London-bridge, to see the wax-work exhibition. While he stood gazing up at the figures he was surrounded by several well dressed men, one of whom (the prisoner) caught him round the waist with one hand while with the other he jerked his watch out of his foli pocket, and then rushed away. Complainant, however, caught hold of the tails of his coat and held him until a policeman came up, but the watch was not re covered, there being several of the " swell mob" about at the time, and one of the witnesses said that he distinctly saw the prisoner pass it to another man. He was committed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, April 4. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CAYSSWELL.) William Jean's was indicted kir burglariously entering and setting' fire to the house of the Rev. George Sherer, at Marsh field, on the 1941 of February last. Mr. WHATELEY and Mr. GRYAVES conducted the prose• cution. The prisoner was undefended by counsel. This was a case, displaying, on the part of the primer, un usual malignity, as it would appear that he had cherished the feelings of revenge to which he ultimately gave vent, by the attempt to burn the prosecutor's house, for a period of nearly three years. It appeared, from the statement of Mr. WHATELET, as it was supported by the evidence on behalf of the prosecution, that the Rev. George Sherer, the vicar of Marshfield, was in February last residing at Bath, and that, during his absence, the vicarage house at Marshfield was left in the care of a female servant, named Ruth Bunce.' On the night of the 19th of February, Ruth Bunce and a compani,n, named Hester Gale, retired to rest about ten o'clock, their bed room being on the second floor. At that time the doors and windows of the house were safe. They were disturbed in the middle of the night by a cry of " fire," and they found the lower part of the back staircase in flames. Assist ance was speedily procured, a ladder raised, and they were safely taken out of the window. It appeared, from a plan of the pr mises, which was produced in Court, that the cellar* window of the house opened into a court-yard at the back of the house, and that this cellar window had beets broken open, and a can, which was kept there was found at the lout of the back stairs, half filled with linseed oil. There was also a jar there containing oil, which had been removed from a cup board, where it was usually kept, and it was clear that oil had been recently poured from it upon the dour and stairs, with a view of accelerating the progress of the flames. It was evident, therefore, that not only was the fire the work of an incendiary, but that it was planned and executed by some one well acquainted with the premises. A twig, round which paper had been twisted, and which had been dipped in oil, was found lying near the can partially burnt. It was discovered upon further search that a ladder had been placed against the back part of the house, and an attempt made to force an entrance through the kitchen winnow, but a large bar inside had compelled the perpetrator of this wicked deed to seek easier access through the cellar as before mentioned. Upon examining the garden at the back of the house traces of footmarks were discovered. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner, who, it appears, about three years since, lived in the service of the prosecutor, by whom he was dis charged for some impropriety which did not transpire. Holt, the superintendent of the police at Yeovil, in Somersetshire, deposed that the prisoner was given into his custody on the 10th of March, upon some other charge, and that having in his possession the Police Gazette, in which was contained a description of the person suspected of setting fire to Mr. Sherer's house, he asked the prisoner who he was, and read to him the advertisement, upon' which the prisoner stated that his name was William Jarvis; that he never was at Marshfield, and did not know where it was, and that he had never been in the service of Mrr Sherer, nor in the county of Gloucester in his life. Holt told the prisoner he should write to Sergeant Bennett, and in the meantime detain him, when the pri soner requested to see Holt alone, and upon their going into another room he acknowledged that he was the William Jeaues described in the advertisement, but denied having been at Marshfield since June last, adding that he supposed Mr. Sherer suspected that he had set fire to the house out of spleen, be cause he had been discharged without a character. The pri soner subsequently stated to another constable that he had left Bath upon hutting of the fire, fearing that he should be sus pected and taken into custody in consequence of having used threatening language towards :he prosecutor. The shoes taken from the prisoner's feet were compared with some of the marks left in the garden, and found to correspond exactly. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL summed up, and the Jury, after retiring from Court for a quarter of an hour, returned into Court with a verdict of Guilty. The moment the foreman uttered the word, the prisoner foil to the ground as if shot, and a medical man, who was imme diately sent for into the dock, pronounced him in a fit. He was removed below, and the reverend prosecutor, evidently labouring under deep emotion, addressed his Lordship, stating that he was not aware that the offence for which the prisoner had been convicted was punishable with the extreme penalty of the Liw, and that, had he known it, he would not willingly have prosecuted him. He earnestly implored that his life might be spaced, in which request the jury also joined. The prisoner was then replaced at the bar, and Mr. Justice Cresswell; after some impressive comments upon the heinous nature of the crime of which he had been convicted, ordered sentence of death to be recorded against him, with an intima • tion that he must prepare to pass the remainder of his life in the most severe discipline of the worst penal settlement. The Grand Jury have ignored the bill for biga m y aga i nst Rudman, preferred under th circumstances stated in our report of Monday last of the case of Lane v. Godwin. APRIL 6. At an early hour this morning the Court was crowded, in expectation that the great cause to decide the validity of James Wood's will, would at last be tried. About nine o'clock, however, it began to be rumoured that a compromise had talien place, which the result justified ; for, upon t h e Special Jury being sworn in doe deco. Thompson v. Wood, Sir W. FOLLETT, who (with Mr. Kelly, Mr. Butt, Mr. Cripps, and Mr. Keating), appeared for the defendants, th, 'executors of the will, rose and said, that the partie s 1 - I,d agreed to an arrangement that a verdict should be taken for the lessors of the plaintiff for 10,000/., "which would . Pay all their costs in law and equity, and put a trifle into their pockets be sides," subject to a reference to Mr. Alexander Wood, of this circuit (who is not a relative of the testator) as to the proof heiof the lessors of the plaintiff s b e i ng, as they claimed to be, the rs-at-law. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, who (with Mr. R. V. Richards, Mr. Whitmore, and Mr. J. W. Smith), appeared on the other side, intimated the acquiescence of their clients in this arrange ment, by which it appears that the validity of the disputed will is at last admitted, and that the executors named in papers A and B are fully entitled to the whole of the landed estates, as well as the personal property of the testator. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CuEsswEr.r..) George Grendar Wall, the postmaster of Cheltenham, was charged in two indictments for embezzling moneys received by him as postmaster in November last. Mr. Sergeant Ludlow, with Mr. W. J. Alexander and Mr. Keating, appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Greaves and Mr. Selfe for the prisoner. Mr. GREAVES, for the prisoner, proposed to demur to the in dictments as insuffi c i ent i n l aw, and also to plead " not guilty" and to them; and h e c i ted Hawkins ' s " Pleas of the Crown, land published, a certain wicked, sc an d a l ous , ma li cious, and obscene libel, against the peace, &rt.."

After some delay Mr. Lane, who was in attendance, ex pressed himself satisfied with two gentlemen who offered them selves as bail for Mr. Gregory, viz., Mr. Charles Shangster, of No. 307, Oxford-street, poulterer, and Mr. Thomas Hughes, of No. 53. Great Coram•street, Russell square, solicitor, and waived the forty-eight hours' notice of bail. The amount of bail received was, the defendant in SO/. and his sureties in 401. each, for his appearance at the present sittings of the Court, either to tale his trial or traverse, and the required recognizances being entered into, Mr. Gregory, who had been arrested at his residence, No. 15, North Audley street, Grosvenor-square, was set at liberty, and drove from the office in his carriage, accompanied by several of his friends. It was stated that the indictment in question has been at the instance solely of Mr. Lane, who has taken up the matter on public grounds. The subject of the libel relates to her Majesty and Prince Albert, and appeared in the Satirist of the 30th of January last. ___ CLERKENWELL. KiVIor.ENT ASSAULT.—James Hopkins, a middle-aged man, was brought before Mr. Greenwood yesterday morning, charged under the following circumstances. A man named Nightingale came forward, and deposed that between 11 and 12 on Wednesday night he was alarmed by the cries of a female, and running to the house whence they pro ceeded, No. 4, Field lane, Saffron-hill, found a number of fe males, in a state of great excitement, outside the door. On going in he was informed by a female, that the prisoner had burst in the door, which had been fastened with an iron and v. ooden bolt, thrown the mistress of the house on the floor in a very savage manner, and was about committing violence on her person, when the informant seized him, and with other females, held the pri soner until the police arrived. He was informed that the per son on whom the assault was committed, Susan Wall, is in a very dangerous state. She keeps a lodging-house, and is a very decent, well-conducted woman. The doctor was not as yet able to attend. The prisoner was remanded until the certificate of the medi cal gentleman could be obtained. Intheafternoon the prosecutrix appeared. She appeared to be in a state of extreme debility, and stated she was labourirg under severe internal pain. She seemed unwilling, however, to prosecute the prisoner, and with considerab e reluctance owned to any pat tof his offence. She denied that he had any criminal intention towards her, and, on being questioned by the Magistrate, as to whether she had received any bribe to suppress her evidence, she hesitated, but finally denied it. The prisoner was fined 10 shillings, and sentenced to ten days' imprisonment and hard labour. WORSHIP-STREET. DISORDERLY PAUPERS. Sarah Camplin, Amelia Jones, and Mary Seamlin, three plump and impudent looking young women, were charged with disorderly conduct in the Hackney Union workhouse, and with having violently assaulted William Hunter, one of the beadles. the Queen v.
