, b . 1 ., t to wt , -IL g SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY. OLD COUItT. TRIAL OF MR. DROUET FOR MAN SLAUGHTER. (Examination of Joseph Andrews, continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Mr. Baron Purr—How many, my little boy, make a dozen?—Witness—Twelse. He slept a good time in the bed, mid remembered his brother being taken ill• The room was in the attic. He was amongst the little boys, and he and his brother were treated like all the rest. We did not hive enough to eat. Sometimes his brother asked him tor a portion of his allowance, and sometimes he gave it to him and sometimes he refused. He refused because he had not enough for himself. The little boys dined in a hall. They had sometimes rotten potatoes and meat and sometimes meat and bread. When they had bread they had no potatoes, and they had no bread when they had potatoei. What he meant by rotten potatoes was that they were black and nas ty. They had meat twice a week, and on these oc casions they had potatoes. He thought they were al ways bad and used to throw them under the table. They seldom had moat enough. For breakfast and supper they had a piece of bread and some gruel. There was generally in the room they slept i❑ one tub for use, which was removed every morning by the big boys. Sometimes the tub smelt very badly, and in the daytime it was used to hold the water for washing cut the rooms. Cross-examined by Sir F. THESIGER—He went to Drouet's about two months before his brother. Pre ♦iously he had been in the workhouse a fortnight. His brother had been in the workhouse before he went to Drouet's. A man attended the little boys while they were at meals. He was called " Jonney Cuff." He had meat three times a week—Tuesday, Thursday, and Fri day. On Monday they had soup, on Sunday meat, on Friday pudding, and on Saturday they had soup. He had half a slice of bread for breakfast and supper. He did not know whether his brother had meat and porter every day, but be had bad eyes, and his ward was there fore changed. He bad not bad eyes when he came to Drouet's. W hen his brother came to London he had bread and milk. His eyes had got well. No doctor saw his brother till the morning after they came up from Tooting. It was very cold the night they came up, and it snowed. Re-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—His brother did not eat his bread and milk, but gave it away. He was too ill to eat it. By the COURT—They came up as late as 11 o'clock. His brother was sleepy, and wanted to go to bed, but his being sick was the reason he did not eat the bread and milk. Thomas Titan examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—Was sixteen years of age, and had been fifteen months at Drouet'o. He had to empty the slops and scour the floors Ho knew the attic to which the little boys slept, but there was more than one attic in which the little boys slept. One of them had about twelve beds in it, but ke did not clean that, though he had seen the state which it was in. He knew James Andrews, who slept in a room where there were fifteen or else twenty beds. The beds were close together, and two or three used to sleep in these. It was part of his duty to empty the tub used in that rotm, and he remembered it often smelt very strong. The room was perhaps as long as the court, but not half- so wide. They seldom had food enough, particularly the lift!, boys. The potatoes were black, bad, and • watery, and the boys generally threw them way. When there was not potatoes they had :,react. The clothes James Andrews had were the same as his own ; they did not li,ep them warm by any means, but the corduroy clothes they wore on Sundays were much better and warmer. Out of school hours the b:;ys were put into a yard, and ho had seen some of the 'title iys oat us late us SOY, aor eight o'clock. He had-often step a half- quartern loaf cut up into twenty pieces. On, trosi-examination by Sir F. TUESIGER, he said he was posted in the plutry for a week once, it was then that be saw the. boat cut up into ttO parts. There were four attics and ab9ut - fifteen beds in each. He knew Mr. Winch. He had been qu stoned once or twice by him about little Andrevvs, and his answers were taken in wriung. Samuel Jennings, another boy, said he assisted in cleaning tl-.e roomi of the biz boys. Was not able to give any account of the mode in which the little boys were treated. By the JUDGE—There were as many as a hundred little boys, and they were about eight years of age, quite old enough to state what they had to eat and how they were treated. A bov named Selby, aged 15. said he was 15 months at Mr. Drouet's estabiishment. He had not complained himself of the w.,y in which he was treated. Mr. Baron PLArT—I really must complain of the Mode of proceeding. Mr. CHAMBERS—My Lord, we go upon our instrue • tions, and the general management of the establishment !weals to me very imp , _ , rtant,both with regard to the big and the lute boys. Mr. Baton PLATT—AII the witnesses are from 15 to 16; surely a little boy aged eight can tell whether he had enough, to eat, and how he was treAed. • Mr. CLArtlisox--The evidence we give was produced at the coroner's itiquigition. Mr. Baton PLATT—I have observed that the evidence oFmany witnesses was received by the coroner's jury, - who were no: examined upon oath, and I cannot refrain 'from saying that that was a mo=t irregular proceeding.— (His Lord:hip s,id this with considerable emphasis, and was cheered by several persons in the court. This ebu- lition of feeling was speedily checked.) John Welch was then called—He said he was 14, and had been at the Tooting establishment fifteen months. He slept up stairs. The little boys used to sleep three in a bed. Had seen them at dinner—the potatoes were sometimes good and sometimes bad; the bad ones were black inside. it cullecttd some complaints being made three months prior to November, with respect to the food. Heard Mr. Drouet say to one of the boys after the gentlemen came to inquire about their treatment, " let you know, you young scoundrel, for letting them know that you had not enough to eat." He (witness) was whacked by the schoolmaster next day.—(Lsnghter). Cross-examined—lt was not because he did not say his lesson that to was whacked. Had enough to eat at pre.e%t-L-had plenty of meat and plenty of bread, and could not eat more if he had it given to him. Could not say that the other boys were so satisfied. Re•examined—Did not have so much to eat at Mr. Monet's. Was whacked by the schoolmaster for hold ing up his hand when asked if he had enough to eat. By the COURT—Had no v meat five times a week at the Holborn lini ,u. Had .a..inetimes bread and a basin of milk tor brealr-st. Bet Ore going in Tooting he had meat four times a week. Was quite well when he - went to Tooting, and also well , 411 , .n lie came back. Llepry Hartshorn, aged fourteen, said he was among the big boys at Tooting. the deceased Andrews was among the little boys, and he could not say how he was treat( d. A long and somewhat desultory discussion here took place. Mr. Baron PLATT observed that every maa brought to a criminal bar ought to have fair play, and that he thought it but right and just to him that proper evidence should be produced. Mr. CHAMBERS considered that it was legitimate and essential, under the indictment, to give evidence as to the genenl management of the children. Sir F. THESIGER said, although he gave his Learned Friend cr.dit for the firmness and perseverance with which he had performed his duty, he could not give him credit for offering evidence which he must know, from his experh.nee, was irrelevant. The boy Patrick Shan was again recalled, and in reply to his Lordship said he had seen the little boys and they Lig boys st dinsier together, and that they had the same food, with the exception of the big boys baring more bread, Mr. Baron PLATT - r some further observations on botii sides, and after looking at his notes, said if jt could be- prork that Arr. Droucttad notice in May that the children were improperly treated, and if they could edrtlnnttP /hilt treatment' with, the treatment 'of Andrews, then evidence as to the general man Igefhent might be inWas recalled, and said, he got no additional f,,d in e.msequence of bolding tip•hishtMd when the gen tlemen asked :he boys who had not enough to eat to hold up" their hlnds. Mr. DrOnet ;aid th a t i t was a fair ques tion' t. rut to there. Six boys held up their hands, and 0(1%1 were eight present. Mr. Winch, rccalkd—Said he recollected Mr. Dionet snyirg "That's a very unfair and improper question—l bare a character to lose ; that boy," pointing to one of t h em , "is the greatest liar in the school." Went down to the establishment with the committee on the 30th of May. ;Told one of the boys to cut up a loaf in the usual way, and he divided it into sixteen pieces. He and his brutLer guardians signed a paper approving of the manner in which it was conducted. Recollected making a suggestion confining !!'" his approval to that day. The only meal o f w hi c h t h e quan tity specified Was break lasr. Cross examined by 'Sir. BALLANTYZ4E—IaM an ivory dealer at present; and keep shop. As far as ram con cerned. I think the evidence L . " • of the Children It iiess Mr. Reding whoasked is not true the children if they were satisfied. . By the COURT—A four pound l teen pieces. oaf was cut into six- Mr. Shaw Mays, another guardian, a in bray, when he visited the es'.;ablishu nent , he asked id s kea- one the boys in the presence of Mr. Drouet, whether heof had enough to ear, and he said that he h a d not enough bread. He went into the room where they were at di n n er and loc& d at what one of the boys was eating. The greater portion of it was net meat but gristle. Mr. Drouet list his truiper, spoke harshly, and stated that they (the coterwt;ee) were not fit to examine the hop. He made ah ob,rrratioa as to the ventilation of the building. he itterepheie of the new bedroom was very hot and c}oso. led ho suggest , d that some ventilating holes shou:d in. made, and that an iron grating should lie put in !iit:wEllt, under the flooring. Mr. Drouet said if he had to att-nd tee suggesti6n of every . line, he would have nothing else t.) do. He visited the establishment again fourteen days afterwards, and found the dietary better, and that more attention was paid to the children. Cross-examined by Sir F. THRsIGER-110 cou!d swear pOsitively that there were no ventilating h u h 8 . Mr. K9lly said he had two grand-children in the Tooting • establishment at the end of last year. O ne ta as eight or nine, and the other four. He visited them the last day but two of ,the year, and he found the eldest one ill in bed. There were three in a bed. Mr. Ihron PLATT intimated that this evidence could not be received, unless it could be shown that the deceased Andrems was in the same roots with those two children, Mr. CVAIBERS said that unfortunately kr could 'not show that. There was another branch of evidence upon which he had now to enter, and, as it would ocalpy consi•lerable time, he wished to know whether his Lord ship µ ould pri,ceed with it at once, or take that: (ppor tunity o f adj• nrnit.g the trial until to m.rrow. 111, LORDSHIP said, as they had alr• ady sat eight hours, it would be better not to proceed further until to morrow morning. The Court then rose, and the trial will be proceeded with to-morrow at ten. Mr. Drouet having entered into the necessary bail for his re-appearance, was liberated from custody.

The weather has been miserably uncomfortable in London all day. In the morning we had rain with the wind at S.W. During the day it went round to north east south— and south west—in fact, round the compass, with heavy squalls while at the southward, and dark thick weather. At four o'clock it blew fresh from S.W., with occasional rain, and now, seven o'clock, the wind has gone to NAV. to N., with drizzling rain ; but with a prospect of clearing up. The barometer stands at 29.28. There must have been very heavy weather in the Channel. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) FOREIGN-OFFICE, APRIL 12, 1840. The Queen has been pleased to approve of M.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, com puted from the returns made in the week ending April 10, 1849, is 265. 0 3 / 4 d. per cwt. LONDON, MARKET IN TELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, April 13.) SUGAR.—TO-day there was not much disposition evinced to operate in West India sugar for home-trade purposEs; still holders are firm, and obtained full rates for most sorts. The purchases to-day were 530, making 1,335 hhds, &c., for the week, and the market closes quietly. For public sale on Tuesday 150 bhds Barbadoes and 3,000 bags Bengal Sugar are declared. REFINED.—To-day there was less desire evinced to operate in Refined Goods for home trade purposes; still, in the value no variation took place. For Bonded Crushed Sugar the market is in a quiet state at a former rates. 51AIIIIITIUS.—This - afternoon the market was better supplied with Mauritius Sugar, and four parcels were offered at public sale, amounting to 10,614 bags; the whole, however, sold, and at full rates, but in some cases the lower sorts went rather cheaper; fine and very superior yellow realized 40s to 43s Gd. middling and good 3Ss to 39s fid, low 36s 6d to 37a 6d, good and fine brown 35s to 36s 6J, low and middling 31s 6d to 34e 6d, ordi nary to fine grey 37s to 405," and strong white 44s to 47s per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with attention, and 4,605 bags at auction sold at full rates; low to fine white Benares went of 39s 6d to 43s 6d, strong yellow 4os to 455, and white ditto 45s 6d to 493. Of Manilla 633 T bags were taken in at 16s for low soft brown. FOREIGN.—To day there was no public Sale of Foreign Sugar, anti by private treaty the purchases m a d e were of little moment. The tendency of prices is to decline. MOLASSES.—For West India the market is firm, end sales to a fair extent have been made from 17s to 21s 6d. On the part of holders there is firmness. East India Treacle is held firmly at 15s 6d to 16s per cwt. There is, however, not a brisker sale; but deliveries are exceed ing arrivals. A further- advance - "in the value of Honey is observable. • • • • - COFFEE.—To.day there was no public sale of Coffee, and privately little desire was evinced by exporters or home dealers to do business. The value of Native Ceylon is from 30s to 32s 6d per cwt. The market fur all sorts of Coffee has a dull aspect. COCOA —For British Plantation the demand on the deeresse, and rather lower rases have been accepted this week for all sorts; the stock also continues to get large r. At public sale 92 bags of Trinidad went at from 37s 6.1 to 423 6d. Foreign is held for 27s 6d to 303; there are, however, not many buyers. TEA.—There are again large arrivals, and public sales will take place on Thursday 20,000 packages are de clared. Black can be obtained upon rather lower terms, yet town and country dealers have evinced little dispo sition to do business, and a larger amount is offered. Prices fur low to good common Congou rule at 71d, to 81d, but middling Bid to lOid, strong blacklish leaf 1 I d to Is. 2d, fine and Pekoe kind Is 3d to Is 9d, Souchong ordinary and middling 9d. to Is 2d, good and fine Is 3d to 2s 9d. There is much dulness in the market for g-een ; the supply is abundant and prices are receding. We quote Hyson ordinary at Is. to is 2d, middling and good is 3d to Is 10d, fine and super 2s to 4s; Twankay or dinary and good 5d to 9d, superior 10d to Is; Imperial Canton lld to is 3d ; Hyson sorts is 4d to 3d; Gun • powder Canton is 2d to Is sd; Hyson skin 6d to Is 3d; YoUng Hyson li2d to is, superior 2s 3d to 3; other sorts have been dealt in with 'caution, and there are sellers of orange Pekoe at 8d to is 3d. super Is 4d to 2s; flowery Pekoe Is to is 9d, and black leaf 10d to is 8d per lb. SPices.—Muce is not much wanted, and can be ob tained at a reduction; the stock is also getting larger. Pimento is held with firmness, and the market is less freely supplied, but the demand for all purposes has fallen off. There has • not been much dodge to do business in black Pepper for home use or export, yet merchants have confidence. The sepply is falling off. Sumatra is held for 2}d to 24d per lb. White is held with firmness at 5d to 8d for ordinary to fine, and the demand continues to get brisker. For Cassia Lignea there is a firm market, and the supply is yet yet scanty, few inquires have existed. Cloves met with little attention, but the supply is small, and prices are firm; Bourbon and Zanzibar atd to 'id. Bencolen is 3d to is 9d, and Amboyna 10d to Is. Ginger is not much wanted by exporters. Cinnamon is not cheaper; there are few buyers.

On MotElay afternoon last a murder was committed here, on Mrs. Ward, the wife of Mr. William Ward, a small farmer i n the village; and what renders the affair still more shocking is the circumstance that the mut , exam before the magistrates. We are derer a;, - pears to b e h er own son, who on the evening of saranthe saran day w as comm i tte d t o Spilsby prison, where he awaits examinatio n in formed that o n t h e morn i ng o f t h e fatal day, the mother and her son John had some strong words respecting a young female whom he was wanting to marry; that the n then left th e h ous e , an d did not return till after din ner, when, finding his mother asleep in a chair, he took down a loaded gun, and deliberately shot her in the bead. Death seems to have been instantaneous, as when a surgeon, who was promptly sent for, arrived, she was found quite dead, although still sitting in her chair, in a position little changed from that in which she had been sleeping. After the commission of .the dreadful deed, the unhappy son did not attempt to escape, but allowed himself to bo taken by the constable before the Rev. T. H. Rawnsley. of Halton Holgate, by whom he was com mitted to Swishy prison. A coroner's inquest was held on Wednesday. EVENING, PRICES OF SHARES. Y I 7777!

It appears that the deceased had, during Monday, given her son some good advice, which gave offence. The principal grievance was an improper connexion which had been formed, and which frequently gave rise to disturbance. The murderer had said to his mother in the course Of the day, that he believed he should shoot the girl (the servant in the house), who, it is said, h as had some difficulty um; e than once to resist his improper attacks. Nearly an hour and a half had elapsed before the horrid parricide could be made known, the villain laviug secured the door,' threatening the life of the girl if she would not make off Kith him. She made an ixcuse to get her clothes, and eventually escaped from !he house and made up to a neighbouring farmer's }latest breathless, followed by the murderer, who was met by the master of the premises and stopped from kroceedin g further. O❑ returning to Mt. Ward's resi dence, which Was soon filled by persons anxious to ascer eain every particular, the fellow went into an outhouse, drid there made an attempt to: cut his own throat, but this-was done- to.a 'small extent only, and Mr. Dawson, surgeon, sewed up the wound.

Com plainant added, that from thB state which defendant frequently got into, he was fearful that she would really carry her threat into execution; the words which she and the doctor were in the habit of applying towards each other were of the worst description, and he should be exceedingly glad to get r►d of them, but they seemed to have made up their minds not to leave. Defendant—it is not at all, likely, your Worship, that I should think for a moment of setting fire to a house in which I have uninsured property that I would not take 2,0001. for? Mrs. Paris deposed to her having heard defendant use most disgusting expressions, and with an oath declare that she would burn down the place. Mr. Morley, a lodger, slso gave evidence as to the utterance of the threat alluded to. Defendant—Your own wife has gone and sat dovt nby the side of my husband before my own face, and you know that what. I say is true. Mr. LoNG—What do you say to threatening to burn down the complainant's house? Defendant—l 'never said I would do anything of the sort. Croker, who had evinced a considerable degree of excitement during the proceedings, declared that there was no truth whatever in the statement made by com plainant; the fact was, he (the doctor) had by him a quantity of gun cotton, which he used as a medicine, having a bad leg, and his wife had used the expression " take care of that cotton, or it may, perhaps, set fire to the place;" that, and nothing more, occurred in reference to any fire, nor was it at any time the intention of Mrs. Croker to do any mischief. Tito MAOISTRA.TE came to the conclusion that corn• plainant has reasonable grounds for fear, and ordered 1)r. Croker to enter into his own recognizance in 100 L, and to find two sureties in 501. each, fur the peaceable behaviour of his wife fur the next three months. The required bail was given, and the parties quitted the court. I'Am-constable Lvershed, 409 8, was charged with having illegally taken Dr. Cruller and his wife into cus tody, on the evening of the 4th inst., for an alleged dis turbance in the street, close to their landlord's dwelling. The case was heard at this court on the following day, when defendants were, after a lung investigation, dis charged. Several witnesees were now examined, and defendant, who was considered to have exceeded his duty in taking up the doctor, but not so with respect to Mrs. Croker, was fined 40s. soy 77i WALK. Daniel Donovan and Hugh 1 7 °14 were placed at the bar before Mr. Cotringha►u for re-examinat►on, charged wilh being concerned, with two other men (not in cus tody), in a criminal assault o❑ Mrs. Eliza Seal, the wife of commercial traveller, in Coleman-street, City, and stealing from her person four shillings, a ring, brooch, and handkerchief. _ _ A solicitor attended on the part of the prosecution. inlated at Woolwich, that Sir Chaim... his flag is the Superb and pri'e("cifl to C or a Rear- Admiral Mackay, at pi-, scni in h: • t a css..ut.: that (or any other) part of the ceait of IrelAnd."

Cochrane, Captain Chadds, C. 8., and a number of other distinguished officers, with a number of gentlemen be longing to the steam department. She was fully rigged, having her sails bent, and top gallant yards across; her stores and weights of all descriptious were on board, with the exception of powder and shells, and the clothing 2nd traps belonging to her crew; she had also about 300 tons of coal on board, sufficient for about fourtei n days' con• sumpton; with all these weights, she was one streak and rather better of copper out of the water : her draft was forward, 18 feet 2 inches; aft, 19 feet 5 inches. She went out against a flood tide at the rate of about six knots, scarcely making a bubble at her bows, gliding impercep tibly through the water without noise or commotion. We should say she carried her main-deck guns at least 12 feet above the water. We have before stated the splendid way in which this ship came into harbour, when she arrived from receiving her engines at Wool wich. With her 360 horse power she came into Ports mouth harbour against a hurricane of wind dead in her teeth, proving the power of the screw (although light in proportion to this vessel of 1,900 tons burthen), to pro pel ber against wind and tide. Independent of her aux iliary screw, she is decidedly one of the finest frigates that ever was built. She proceeded round Spithead, and along the measured mile, wbeu the result of the trials were as follows: Min. Sec. Knots. Ist mile in 7 29 ... 807 Mean speed knot! 2d mile in 7 5 ... 8.47 j 8.294 3d mile in 7 18 ... 8.219 4th mile in 7 15 ..• 8.2758 - Number of revolutions made, 55; not up to the full speed ship passing through the water very easily, and the en• gines working most satsfactorily, the ship not feeling the least vibration from the working of the screw. Th e Arrogant returned into harbour at halt-past four o'clock, and to-day will go into the angle dock to have her copper broomed down; whence she will come out again, pro bably, on Saturday, and will proceed an the 17th to Cork to try her steaming and sailing powt r at sea. The Penelope, 16, steam-frigate, Captain L. P. Jones, has nearly returned her stores at Portsmouth, and is dismantling in readiness to be pad off on Saturday next. The Plumper, 12, Commander ilolloth, has reshipped her bowsprit, with more stave than formerly. She has taken her lower rigging off the mastheads, andis getting her tops over. For what purpose she is delayed a month by the engineer we know not. The Reynard, 10, Commander Cracroft, is in the basin at Portsmouth, having her hawse holes altered, and re ceiving six new timber heads, which ware carried away on her port quarter by a heavy sea that struck her during her last cruize. SUPERANNUATIONS.—The following officers of Devon pert have received notice of the amount of pensions or superannuation:—Mr. Ancell, inspector (formerly mea surer), 821. Bs. per annum ; Mr. Lacey, inspector, 461. 17s. 6d.; and Mr. Fi , x, 43/. 15s. PROMOTIONS. Second Master—T. W. Sulivan (1844), formerly se cond master of the Royal yacht Victoria anal Albert, acd now acting master of the Bail, quin, 12, at Lisbon, has been confirmed to the rank of master. APPoirsvrm Masters Assistants—R. I'. N. Pearce, and E. J. Young, to the Fisgard, flag-ship, at Woolwich. The Right Hon. Sir Francis T. Baring, Bart., the First Lord of the Admiralty, returned to town last eight from Hampshire; and Rear-Admiral Deans Dundas, C. 8., M.P., returned to town from Minehead, Somerset, and this morning, accompanied by their colleague, Captain Milne, with Captain Sir Baldwin W. Walker, C. 8., the Surveyor of the Navy, and Lieut.-Colonel Irvine, C. 8., the Director-General of Architectural and Engineering Works, proceeded in the Admiralty steam yacht Black Eagle, Master Commander Cook, from Woolwich, to Sheerness and Chatham Dockyards, on an official visit. We must say we envy not their Lordships' debit after the late wholesale reductions, for we cannot anticipate a reception at all confident, cordial, or welcome. Gradual reduc tion by death or superannuation there could have been no objection to, but whilst there are so many jobs and extravagances in the departments repre sented by the two gallant officers who accompany their Lordships—the reformation of which would effect a con siderable saving in the navy estimates—we are quite sure the public will not be satisfied with the sacrifice of the poor artificer and labourer's daily bread. In the one department, however, we must admit there has been, from the public attentien which has been drawn to it, some attempt at correction of waste and abuses; and we are sure there is not a man more ardent in the work of revision and cor rection than Sir Baldwin Walker himself; but in the other department there is much to commence with, and the end is interminable. Nothing but an entire change of system will meet the evils connected with it. False hood, trickery, and evasion, are mixed up with tempo rising, incompetence, and downright injustice ; and the first step towards amendment is a searching Parliamen tary inquiry, in which we shall be prepared to assist to the utmost of our power and ability. The present Admiralty are sc.ircely responsible for the monstrous abuses of the system. They are of earlier origin, but from :first to last—from the borroning of engineer officers from the army to do Admiralty work, up to the present time, profound ignorance and assump tion, as well as reckless waste and the grossest unfair ness, have characterised the progress of soldier-civil en gineers. There is not a dockyard in the kingdom which has not suffered from the meddling of these " belted aspirants," as they were termed by the civil t ngineer journal on their appointment, and notwithstanding the thousands of pounds that have been spent on their tra velling expenses to the manufacturing districts in pur suit of practical science and experience, it is at length palpable to the meanest capacity that they are too old to learn, too conceited to take advice, and too proud to be persuaded, except to truckle to keep their places. We are mistaken, however, if the time is not approaching when the Admiralty, repudiating Ordnance help, and Ordnance extravagance, whether royal or corporate, will look to civil architects and engineers for civil services in their dockyard buildings, basins, slips, and sea-walls; in a word, that their Lordships will at one swoop clear away the present useless, incapable, and expensive staff of unknown names, with pompous initials, and commence the department de novo.—Herald. Mrs. Croker, wife of Dr. Croker, M.D., occupying apartments at the residence of Mr. Paris, 48, Stanhope street, Hampstead-road, appeared before Mr. Long, by virtue of a warrant which had been obtained against her by her landlord. Complainant stated that the doctor and his wife had lived with him as lodgers about three weeks, and that during that period they had been constantly quar relling and making a great noise. On Monday, the 2d instant, at a late hour of the night, de ,endant, who was intoxicati d, and, as usual, violent in her language, was requested by him, (com plainant)to bei quiet, when she told him she would The circumstances attending the allegod outr9ge on ~.;. s. .e • -r former statement with re,i.ect to th e 4.ulr,g, c.qwnitied upon her person in the stone-yard at Ba,kside, by a wan whom she believed to be Donovan, and sab,equently by two other men on board a barge, into which she was forcibly carried; that when in the cabin of the ve, , sel she saw Foley there, and besought his protection fio.n violence, but he refused to interfere, sayieg that he dare not do it.

The in trate then proceeded to question her el. , sely us to whether she had been drinking, or was on ler the iefitenee of liquor when she lett her husband', house in the City She now stated, that on Saturday eignt last her hu.bat.d quarrelled with her in consequence of her beii,g stight! . ) intoxicated that night, and turned her out, and that see went over to Val worth, and slept with her lauedre-s at that place. That on the followiag , ;ay (Sunday) she re turned home, and having rung th. led!, she was not ad mitted, and then went away and walked about Walworth until the evening. Mr. CoTTINGEIAM—Did you take any liquor on Sun day ?—She replied that all she had drank was a glass of porter—that it was between seven and eight o'cleck when she got to the river -side, and was tin-re met by the man who forced her into the scone-yard, and that it was the same man who carried her from thence after the assault on board the barge, where the offence was repeated •by two other men. The complainant here fainted away, and was obliged to be supported, but she recovered in a short time, and still adhered to the accuracy of her state ment of what had befallen her, and added that she was not a consenting party. And when asked why she had not made an alarm in tha stone yard situate very near a public thoroughfare, she ascribed it to the nervous and frightened condition in which she was at the time. The complainant's uncle, by whom she was accom panied to the court, was called forward, and he stet« d that she was married to his nephew, and had been so for sixteen years. That she was a well educated and ac complished woman—her father, who died some years ago, being a man in good circumstances. That for the last few years she bad unfortunately contracted a habit of drinking to excess, which caused much unhappiness at home, but that he (witness) never heard the slightest imputation on her character as a virtuous woman. He knew that she was a very nervous woman, which was increased by her intemperance, and his impression was that a woman in her condition could offer but little re sistance to an attack such as that described to have been perpetrated upon her. That her husband was much attached to her, but that, in consequence of her hav ing fallen into dissipated habits, he had latterly bi come negligent and careless of her. He added, that the first intimation he had of the alleged outrage was on seeing the account of it in the newspapers, and that he retainer: a legal gentleman to conduct the prosecution against his niece's assailants. The complainant was recalled, and, in answer to Mr. Cottingham, she said, that she did not go into any pub lic-house with the man who had forced her into the stone yard, neither before nor subsequent to the outrage ; that it such an assertion was utter,d by any person it was wholly without foundation. '1 hat when in the cabin of the barge, she was held down while the two men perpe trated the outrage, and it was then she called upon Foley, who was present, to protect her, but he refused on the ground already mentioned. She was confident that she was assaulted by three men. Robert Bell, being sworn, stated that he was in the employ of Mn Chandle, a pipemaker at Bankside. The ,t on Sunday evenine last he was in the " Welsh Trooper" public-house, Bankside, about eight o'clock, t.nd was called out by Foley. He (witness) walked a short dis tance, and met Donovan and the complainant walking . together. That he looked at them and saw them go down the 3tone yard together. Witness returned to tire Welsh Trooper again, and in about half an hour from the time he first saw the parties he saw them come into the public house together, and Donovan called for a pint of halt-and-half, which they drank between them. Mr. COTTINGIIAM—Did any other person see the par ties in the puhlict-house together? Witness—Yes, Miss Garnett, the landlord's daughter, drew the half and-haA for them, and must have seen them drinking together. The witness added that Donovan went out first, followed by the complainant, who had a handkerchief tied round the upper part of her face as if to conceal a black eye. Mr. COTTINGHAM—Who paid for the half-and-half, complainant or the prisoner Donovan? Witness—The latter paid for it. Mr. COTTINCHAISE (to complainant)—You have heard what the witness has stated upon oath ; is it trueT— Complaeinant—lt is not true. Policeman 104 M stated that, about half-past nine o'clock on the night in question he saw Donovan and n woman, whom he believed to be the complainant, walk ing together on Bankside. The latter held a handker chief up to her face, as if she was anxious to conceal it, when be approached them. Knowing Donovan, the latter stopped to speak to him, and wanted him to have some gin, which he refused, while the female walked on alone. Donovan then proceeded after the woman, and witness went on his beat. About half-past ten o'clock the same night witnes was informed of the alleged out rage upon the complainant, and he saw her, and she then informed him of it, and said that her assailants had robbed her of 45., a handkerchief, ring, and brooch. She pointed out Donovan as one of her assailants. Foley said that he saw no person but Donovan in the barge with the complainant, and as she complained of being cold in the cabin, he (Foley) went ashore to get a light and some wood to make a fire to warm her. Donovan said that at present he declined saying any thing. COTTINOHAM said there was no doubt a most gross outrage had been perpetrated on the complainant, and that he should take care that the whole of the cir cumstances should be thoroughly investigated, in order to bring her assailants to justice. For this purpose ho should remand the prisoners until Monday, and gave directions that the publican's daughter and other wit nesses should be in attendance. WESTMINSTER. Peter Van Neirop, a Dutchman, was charged with having 'feloniously assaulted and wounded two persons named Thomas Murrell (father and - son), who, in conse quence of the serious nature of the injuries inflicted; were unable to attend before the magistrate. Sarah Murrell stated that she resided with her family in Duke-street, Chelsea. At a little after 11 o'clock on, the previous night she was sitting in one of her apart ments, which were up .stairs, when she was suddenly alarmed by hearing her husband (Murrell senior) cry out " Murder!" Her son, who had been sitting with hi-r immediately hastened down stairs, and she followed, when she saw the prisoner, with an iron candlestick in his hand, strike her husband twice o❑ the head with it, and a great dual of blood flawed from the wounds. On her son interfering in his father's behalf the prisoner at tacked him also, and inflicted two severe wounds, one upon the side of the face near the ear, and the other on the upper part of the head. The police were called, and the prisoner was given into custody. In reply to an inquiry from the clerk who took the depositions, The witness stated that the prisoner occupied the lower part of the house in which they lived, and added that she believed that the cause of the diflerenco between the prisoner and her husband which led to the violent attack complained of was, that her husband had solicited the accused not to fasten the street door until the return home of his daughter and one of her brothers, who had gone to Cremorne Gardens that evening. The police produced a very heavy iron candlestick, the foot of which was much battered; they also handed in the following certificate:— "April 12, 1849. " We certify that Thomas Murrell, the father, and Thomas Murrell, his son, have received several severe contused wounds on the head, and are not in a fit state to attend before a magistrate. "A. COOPER GARDINER, } " BENJAMIN S. H OPWICK , Surgeons." The prisoner, in reply to the charge, complained, in broken Et.iglish, that he always liked the street-door to be closed at an early hour; but the Murrells were so ir regular in their habits that, notwithstanding all remon strances, his wishes were not complied with. There was also continually much disturbance and unpleasantness caused by them, and, on the present occasion, he was pulled about and pushed down two or three times before he touched the parties. Mr. BURRELL, after perusing the medical certificate, remanded the prisoner for a week. FOREIGN FUNDS. BELGIAN FUN D5.— .. .13 : R .... u .. 5 .. 5 . x ...
