EIGHT FIRES AT NORWICH Have recently been extinguished by SHA.LDERS' PATENT PORTABLE FIRE ENGINE. (THE NEW PROPERTY PROTECTOR). These Engines are carried by hand and placed immediately ' , here they can assail the main source of the fire at close quarters, to the greatest advantages ; when they deliver their Whole uniform streams of water directly into the flames with unerring certainty and such surprising impetuosity, that the fires are banged out before the common engines can be brought into action. If t'be engine lever be worked briskly with one hand, and the delivery pip e pointed at a w i n d ow 10 feet distance with the other hand, it will show how furiously, steadily, and irre sistibly the little fire destructor combats and conquers the terrific foe. Engines elegant, durable, and complete in Brass 6/. 16s. each. N.B. There is not yet in existence a good fire-engine li a large scale. At Alderman Butcher's fire the Patent Parish Pump filled 12 large pails with water per minute, deli- Irer ing at..the, rate of 50 and the two Engines 30 barrels per I Pur. But with . the fOinieilliiish Pump (which was one of the best brass lift-force pumps of the London made trash) not ii: . 4 :rrels an hour could have been raised, and probably the Zi n i ci would have gained the ascendancy.

"Because dame Nature has entered her imperative caveat thus !" SHALDERS' P UMP SHALL NEVER BE SURPASSED, which is now practically proved to be the only effective, invariable water elevator in existence, and when well carried out the most durable pump in the world. It stands work as well for lifts tbove as below 100 feet, and it would be strange indeed if it lid not, as a good Connector (of a Fountain Pump) will sustain it pressure of 50 atmospheric whilst less than a quarter of that pressure would deliver water rapidly 365 feet high, or over St. °l , Art-cross, London.

The Fountain Pump is free from the de 'Pets and liabilities of the Friction Pump, and approaches a perfect hydraulic machine."—Dr. Birkbeck.--" Shalders Iles copied Nature, and, arrived at perfection."—Fbedour.- 41 This pump is free from friction and leakage, and is net liable to choke."—Hay, Civil Engineer.--" This is THE Pump." • Partington. • JOINTLY.—" The Fountain Pump is the most important anprovement in the art of raising water, that has appeared Within the last 2,000 years. It is the greatest advancement in the useful arts in modern times, and cannot fail to act in the preservation of life and property front fire and water to an ex tent beyond calculation. " SH ALDERS' PATENT PUMP. At a Vestry Meeting held at St. Michael's at Plea, Nor- April 213th, 1842, the Parishioners unanimously con tratulated Mr. Shalders upon having, last May, fitted the parish up with an efficient, permanent, economical, and in variable Pump (60 feet in length). It was rightly remarked, that although the water delivered by the former Pump was com. *only cloudy, that delivered by the present one has been uni formly clear, and raised with half the labour.

BUTCHER. and SON beg to return their most grateful thanks to those friends and neighbours who so kindly and Promptly rendered them their assistance to extinguish the Fir* on their Premises on Wednesday last. And the, likewise take this opportunity particularly to re *ommend Mr. Shalders' Portable Fountain Engine, which was found so efficient in preserving their premises from total de struction. Queen •street, May 26. REMARKS OF THE EDITOR OF THE "NORFOLK CHRONICLE," ON VIEWING THE PREMISES AFTER THE FIRE : " About half-past one o'clock on Wednesday morning the Premises of Mr. Butcher, grocer, Bank-plain, were discovered to be on fire by the night watch, who gave the alarm and called h fr. Butcher up. It was at first difficult to discover in the dark what part of the premises was on fire. Mr. Butcher thought that it originated at his neighbour's house, but going !ip to the top of his premises he perceived where it was ; when s ite came down and opened the door of his store - room over the back part of his shop, the fire and smoke burst forth so violently that he could scarcely stand on his feet. It appears that the fire had originated is this store-room directly over a paper loft, but how, it is impossible to tell. Mr. Shalders, from over the may, immediately brought two of his engines, by means of Which Mr. Butcher attributes his house being saved ; and per haps the whole street, for there being a good deal of gun- Powder en the premises, had this ignited the consequences Would have been awful. Notwithstanding the natural agita tion occasioned by the near prospect of danger from fire, 111 r. Butcher himself removed the gunpo wder from the premises, and most of the goods from the warehouse and shop were brought out and deposited for safety in St. Michael's at Plea Church. The engine from the Guildhall was on the spot 'within a few minutes of the first alarm being given, but it vas impossible to bring this int o play for some time, as the water was not turned on ; but in the meanwhile Mr. Shalders' engines (Mr. S. working one and his brother the other) were supplied with buckets full of water from the pump near at hand. Mr. M. Yarington and his men acted 'with much energy and promptitude. Mr. Steel, Mr. Plummer, Shalders, and others of Mr. Butcher's neighbours, were racist zealous in their services. In about an hour and a half all danger was removed. Mr. Butcher is, we understand, insured lb the Norwich Equitable Office. [The delay which appears to have occurred in furnishing the tt . egines with water on the above alarming occasion, impera tively demands the immediate attention of the proper authori ties. If the New Niills Company's works are the main public !source of supply, some arrangements should be made for the More sure and speedy turning on the water into the pipes ; or the city will sooner or later rue the consequences. tY THE EDITOR OF THE " NORWICH MERCURY." On Wednesday morning, about half-past one o'clock, a fire *as discovered in the house of Mr. Butcher, grocer, Rank- Plain, by the watchman on duty. Mr. B. immediately rose, And after examining hi- premises found it had taken place in a store-room situated over the warehouse. On the alarm being given, Mr. Shalders attended with his patent fountain engines, and after great exertions the fire was extinguished before any Serious consequences had taken place. There is not the slightest doubt that this fire would have been attended with a treat loss had it not been for the fountain pump, and it was entirely by that and the exertions of Mr. Shalders that the fire wa% so promptly extinguished. it being an hour and ten minutes before the engines could be got into play ; and at the time the fire was discovered the whole store room wa4 in flames, for on Alt. Butcher opening the door he was twice knocked d wn by the smoke and fla, - ,.0a. but furtuna , ely received no injury. PROPERTIES SAVED BY THE PORTABLE FIRE ENGINE.

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver supplanted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless ALBATA PLATE. C. WATSON (late ALDERMAN) 41 and 42, Barbican, aided by a person of science in the amal gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness —with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a chemical process, by which all that is nauseous in mixedmetals is e ntirely extracted—resist'ng all acids, may be cleaned as Silver, and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side board. s. d. s. d.

Watson begs the Public will understand that' this metal 'is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold, than his metal is from all others ; the Public will there fore have no diff►culty in discovering the animus which directs the virulent attacks made against him, by a party who is daliy suffering from the unparalleled success which has marked the progress of ins New Plate since its introduction.

CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis), POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver under the guiles of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c, Ece., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying eur material so that acids do not affect it ; it is now so well known and appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver, can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles that are in silver, from which it can only he told by reference to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's Pattern.

LISBON, JULY 25.—The Cortes have not yet proceeded to the business of the session, being still occupied in examining the validity of the returns, and in other preliminary matters. The committees appointed in the Chamber of Deputies fur the first-named purpose have reported favourably upon all the re turns, with the trifling exception of those from one of the elec toral colleges in the Lisbon and Estremadura district, in which some irregularities are alleged to have taken place on the occa sion of voting for the electors, who in their turn were to elect the Deputies. I understand that the Portuguese commissioners, appointed to take into 'consideration the subject of the alterations to be made in the Customs tariff, have already proposed to the Govern ment extensive reductions in the duties upon several articles of British manufacture, and particularly upon cotton goods, the per centage upon which they pretend to say would be reduced to less than it was under the treaty of ISIO. It is necessary to observe, however, that as they take the maket value of the article after pay ment of duties and other expenses as the basis of their calculations, instead of the &elated invoice value, the rate per cent. in raality would turn out much higher than they compute it. To rectify this erroneous mode of calculation it is, that Lord Howard de Walden purposes submitting the subject to the consideration of a Committee of British merchants in this city, before he concludes any arrangement with the Portuguese Government respecting the reductions to he mutually made by Great Britain and Portugal in their tariffs of import duties. It is currently said that the Duke de Terceira wishes to re tire from office, and that his place, as Minister of War, will be filled by Baron Campanha. It is likewise reported that Baron Tojal will take the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, anti resign that of Finance into the hands of M. Silva Cabral, brother to Costa Cabral, the present Minister of the Interior, and de facto Dictator of Portugal. The cause of Baron Tojal's expected removal from the Finance-office is said to be a quarrel between him and M. Gomes de Castro, the Vice-President of the Trea sury Tribunal. I learn from a good source, that the Duke de Pamella, on being recently pressed to take the portfolio of Fo reign Affairs positively refused to do so, alleging as his reason, that he will not serve in the same Administration wtth Costa Cabral. HyrocnoNuatactsm.—There is a gentleman of rank and tontine at present residing in Dublin, who fancies one of his legs is a Papist and the other a Protes tant, and very frequently puts the unfortunate Popish leg outside the bedclothes to punish it for its religious •, Tors!

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Where constitutional rights are in volved, consideration of the persons will be merged in the desire to vindicate their integrity. The ques tion is, not whether M'Douall be a noisy demagogue, prepared to perpetrate injustice upon others, for the purpose of obtaining an opportunity of declaiming upon the People's Charter to those who would not listen to him for a moment except upon compul sion—the point in issue is not what M'Douall is, or what the principles he desires to promulgate are —the real question is, whether a peaceable assem bly (we use the word in its legal acceptation) is under the protection of law, or whether it is liable to interruption and dispersion at the pleasure of a police constable—whether the mental calibre of an ignorant policeman is to be the circle within which the constitu tional right of Englishmen to meet for the purpose of discussing public grievances is to be exercised—and his notions of the proprieties of speech on such occa sions to be the rule by which the phraseology of the speakers is to be constructed—these are the practical bearings of the question. Let not the magnitude of the controversy be lessened because a M'Douall is the in dividual in whose person the important question is raised, or Chartist assemblies the meetings against which the police are trying the extent to which they. may push the powers they seem disposed to exercise. The parties are mere circumstances. The constitu tional right of publicly assembling for any purpose within the limits prescribed by law, is threatened with invasion. The doctrines laid down by the Home Secretary of State in his speech of last night, and in that he delivered a few nights since on the Staf fordshire case, seem to justify the apprehension of encroachments upon public liberty, similar to those which characterised the Administration of Castle reagh, and were embodied in the infamous " Six Acts." While Sir James Graham holds forth implied encouragement to the impertinent and unconsti tutional interference of police constables with public meetings, such as he embodied in the speeches we have alluded to, there is no security from interruption on any occasion on which a body of Englishmen may assemble to petition Parliament, or for any other pur pose, however lawful. STANDARD.—In the House of Lords, last night, the Regulation of Mines Bill (Lord Ashley's Bill) was read a third time, and passed. The Marquis of Londonderry is entitled to the praise of having ren dered the measure complete by a boast, that, as it stood, coalowners would not be under any ne cessity of admitting the Government inspectors into their mines, or releasing them from these subterraneous prisons when admitted. Lord Wharn cliffe supplied the omission promptly by pro posing, as an additional clause to that providing for the appointment of inspectors—" And be it enacted, that the owner and occupier furnish such means as are necessary to enable such persons to visit and inspect mines, collieries, buildings, and ma chinery." There can be no doubt that the House of Commons will adopt this and the other amendments of the House of Lords, so that the beneficent measure may be now regarded as safe. So far Lord Ashley has reason to congratulate himself, and the human race have reason to be grate ful to his Lordship for the ground secured ; but the factories remain, and the ground secured by the Mining Bill is a great step towards the abolition of the white slave-trade everywhere. " Nunc in luctantes dracones:" now- for- - the • millowners, Lord" Asfhles4 Nov for' thd 'complete fulfil ment of your - gro'riOn - s - i'conimiSsion r - The sup port •of • the 'l . colintry ba:s enabled you to triumph'isver the 'tyranny and' :criielties of the Mine, and you Will have the same•support irt - the warfare with the tyranny and cruelties of the mill. But Lord Ashley wants no prompting—he will do his duty; and we can promise him that he will have the support of the country. It is some satisfaction to see, by what fell from Sir James Graham last night, that the Mi nisters are at length wavering upon the question of a Short-time Bill. Doubtless the experience of the present year has taught them, as it has taught the country, that manufactures may sometimes go too ' fast, and that a trade fluctuating between unnatural exertion at one time, and complete inaction at another, is not the trade most conducive to the happiness of the people, or ultimately to the wealth of the community, though it is just the trade into which greedy gamblers are most disposed to plunge. Now a Short-time Bill would be one of the best imaginable means to temper and equalise the operations of com merce, because it would render difficult, if not im possible, those paroxysms of exertion which are sure to lay the foundation of such periods of lassitude as that which now afflicts (or rather has lately afflicted, for industry is again arousing itself) the manufac turing population. falling upon the kerb-stone, a wound was inflicted causing con cussion of the brain, and terminating shortly after the exist ence of the unfortunate man. After striking his brother, the prisoner expressed the greatest contrition for his hasty con duct, and was the first to call in a medical mar,, but the de ceased, after lingering for a week in a state of insensibility, ex pi red. Mr. YARDLEY addressed the Jury for the prisoner, and lug• Bested that the untimely fate of the deceased might have arisen from his having slipped backwards, and struck his head against the ground, and that the inflammation was increased, if not produced by the quantity of drink which the unfortunate man had taken. The Jury adopted the suggestion of the Leuned Counsel, and acquitted the prisoner. MIDLAND ClRCUlT—Leicester, July 30. Mr. Baron Parke arrived in this town late on Thursday evening, and immediately proceeded to the town and county halls and opened the commissions. The business of the assizes commenced on Friday with nine causes and upwards of thirty prisoners, several of whom are charged with the perpetration of crimes of a disgustingly revolting character. MURDER— Charlotte Barnacle and Sarah Barnes were charged on the Coroner's inquisition with the wilful murder of an elderly woman of the name of Waring. Mr. Hildyard and Mr. Miller conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Mellor and Mr. Macauley the defence. The prisoners were persons of rather prepossessing exterior, but for some time before the commission of the crime laid to their charge, they had been leading dissolute lives. It appeared that the prisoner Barnes was living at the time of the murder with her father and mother in Oxford street, Leicester, the deceased occupying the garret, and she had been living there for about a month. On the Saturday preceding the day of the murder, Barnacle came to lodge in the house of Barnes, father of the other prisoner, Barnacle sleeping with deceased. On Wednesday, the 6th of April, Mrs. Waring had been out at work during the day, and on her return home went straight to her room, where she partook of some tea, having taken the water from Barnes's tea kettle. Shortly aftershe had drank her tea, the old lady came out of her room, stating that she had taken a cup or two of tea and some bread and butter, at the same time complaining that she felt so ill she did not know what to do. Deceased returned to her room, continued to grow worse, and ea rly on Th urs d a y morning died. Both Barnes and his wife, who had taken water to make tea from the same kettle that Waring had filled her pot from were taken seriously ill. It also came out in evidence, that for a day or two previous to this me lancholy occurrence, Mary Barnes had been making vari ous inquiries as to " what sort of stuff" poison was. And when asked her reason for making the inquiry, she replied, " Because we have hero speaki ng a b ou t Catherine Smith (a girl who had poisoned herself some short time before)." The witness, detailing the conversation, said she thought it was like flour, and as much as would lie on a shilling would poison any one, &r. It also transpires, that shortly before the time in question, Barnes, while talking to another person, said, " I have got something, but durst not tell you what." Upon being pressed to tell, she said, " I dare not hardly, it is jalap, and Barnacle has put it into the tea-kettle." That Barnacle came up and said to Barnes, " Come on !" to which Barnes replied, " She durst not, as she knew they had tasted some thing." Barnacle said, " Oh, come on ; I know they hav'nt." Barnes said, " I am sure I durst not go, as they will taste it ;" when Barnacle replied, " ON, it, come on, or stop here whilst I fetch some work." The same person who gave this testimony further deposed that Barnes told her Bar nacle had bought some jalap and put it into the teakettle or tea pot. The two prisoners were indentified as the two young per sons who had gone into some chemists' shops on the Wednesday to purchase arsenic, and were refused to be supplied. At last they went to Mr. Lockyer, in the Market-place. Mr. Lockyer was not present when the prisoners entered the shop. When he did come in he heard Barnacle asking for a pennyworth of arsenic. Whereupon he jokingly said, " Are you going to poison yourselves ?" The answer was, " Not likely." He then seriously asked them what it was wanted for ? To which Bar nacle replied, " For bugs and fleas." They were then supplied with half an ounce, labelled " poison." From the evidence of the surgeon who made a pest mortem examination of the body of the poor woman, he found appear ances that denoted the presence of arsenic. The teapot of the decease was analysed, and found to be impregnated with poison, as was also the kettle of the Barneses. The case occupied a large portion of the time of the Court, but these were the principal facts. The great difficulty "in the case was the absence of all ap parent motive for the deed, unless it was on account of the fact that Barnacle, on the previous Sunday, had brought a man into the room, for which she was scolded very much by de ceased. • The Lerrned Ju'clge (Mt. Justice PA rrioarj having summed up, the Jury returned a v er di c t o f G a ilt y of administ ering the arsenic, but not with intent to kill, whereupon the Judge told them that was no verdict at all, they must either find them guilty of murder, of manslaughter, or not guilty. After con sulting a short time further together, they returned s verdict of Guilty of manslaughter, and they were sentenced to be transported fer life. William Vann was indicted for cutting and maiming his wife with intent to kill. The prisoner, who has long been afflicted with paralysis, had, for some time before the commission of the offence with which he was charged, beets jealous of his wife. It appeared that on the evening before the morning of the day when the act was committed, the prosecutrix had gone out, and did not return until long after her husband had gone to bed. It further transpired that she had more money in her possession than he thought could be fairly accounted for, and high words arose between them, with some violence o n his part, whereupon hi s w if e qu it te d t h e bed-room, and laid herself down in what is termed the house-place. About four in the morning she went up stairs to complete dressing herself, when her hus band offered to assist her in buttoning her gown, and while pretending so to dn, he drew her down on the bed and cut her throat with the razor, and afterwards severely wounded him self. The woman got away as well as she was able, and gave an alarm ; he was taken into custody. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentence of death re corded against him. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Yesterday being appointed for the further examination of John Perkins and Edmund who had been re manded from Friday, on the charge of stealing a dia mond pin from Mr. Henry Peckham, of the value of 15/., the Court was crowded to excess by friends of the prisoners, and others, who were anxious to bear the dis closures which it was expected might be made relative to the house in Jermyn-street. Mr. Payne, the barrister, and Mr. Hobler attended for the prisoners. Mr. Henry Peckham, the complainant, who had been bound over to prosecute, repeated the evidence which he gave on a former occasion, the material points of which, as relating to the case, were, that on the 29th of July. about four o'clock in the morning, he was coming out of a gambling-house in Jermyn-street, when he met the two prisoners and another man not in cus tody. He went with them to a coffee-shop near Charing-cross, and, having been drinking, he fell asleep there. When he awoke he missed his diamond pin, and accused the prisoners of having it. They denied the accusation, and he left the shop in search of a constable. When he returned the prisoners were gone ; they were, however, subsequently found, when M'Gill gave up the pin. The following cross-examination of Mr. Peckham then took place : Mr. Payne—Who, and what are you ? Witness—l am a gentleman, and live upon my means. Mr. Payne—You had a watch and appendages with you at the time of this transaction, had you not ? Wit ness—l had ; the watch was worth 401. . Mr. Payne—What is the pin worth ? Witness—lts intrinsic value is 15/..; it cost. a great deal more. Mr. Payne—You had no money, had you ? Wit ness—l had, but I don't know how much. Mr. Payne—Did you not borrow from M`Crill a sove reign i to pay a cab ? Witness—l did not. Mr. Payne—Did you hire the cab ? Witness—l pre sume I did. Mr. Payne—You presume ! no, shuffling. Do you know whether you paid for the cab ? Mr. Jardine here checked the Learned Counsel. He did not think that he had any right to impute shuffling to the witness, who appeared to be giving his evidence very properly. Witness—l don't know ; I was in that state of mind that I don't know. Mr. Payne—Now, you are a gentleman, as you say ; what had you been about all night? Witness—l had been as far as Hammersmith, and on my return I saw a gentle man, a Mr. Armstrong, whom I knew at Valparaiso and Lima, go into a house in Jermyn-street, which I thought was a club-house ; I followed him in; that was between twelve and one o'clock in the morning. Mr. Payne—What was the number of the house ? Witness—l don't know the number. Mr. Payne—Do you know whether it was " the cot tage "in Jermyn-street. Witness—l do not know what it was. Mr. Payne—Did you lose money there ? Witness - - I lost some money there. Mr. Payne—Did you not lose 30/. and give a cheque for it, upon your oath ? Witness—Upon my oath I lost upwards of 301. Mr. Payne—Did you give a cheque for it, I ask ? Witness—l gave a cheque first for 5/. ; and afterwards for 201., when I received the former cheque back. Mr. Payne—Have you got the cheque ? Witness— I have part of it. Mr. Payne—How came it torn ? 'Witness—When I paid tke cheque I tore it up. Mr. Payne—Now, did you not, on your oath, first give a cheque fur a small sum, and then under the pretence of giving a cheque for a larger sum, keep the small cheque, and refuse to give any other ? Witness (with warmth)—l deny it altogether. I deny it alto gether. I was grossly robbed in that house, and if I had acted rightly I should have given every one in the place in charge. Mr. Payne—Yes, after you had lost your money I Did you pay the cheque ? Witness—l did, most de cidedly. I paid it in their own counters. Mr. Payne—How came you to leave this country ? Witness—l went to better my condition. I left in 1825, and was then about twenty years of age.. Mr. Payne—How was it you we nt into aaming house with a wa t c h and pin, and no money?

INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, August 2. IN RE LLEWELLYN. The insolvent was a wheelwright and machinist in Crown-street, Soho-square,. His petition to be dis charged was supported by ➢ir. Cooke, and opposed by Mr. Woodruffe, on behalf of a creditor for the small sum of 51. The opposing Counsel subjected him to a long exami nation, by which it appeared that he had disposed of his premises to a person named Stevens, and had been al ready before the Court, when he was sent back for the purpose of amending his special balance-sheet. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER, upon looking over the balance-sheet, said it was still quite imperfect, and not available for the ends of justice ; he should, therefore, again adjourn the case, requiring ;a week's notice to be given of the day for hearing. Ten bail cases, and several unopposed hearings, were disposed of during the morning, in which there appeared no point of general interest. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT—Shrewsbury, July 29. CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.) MANSLAUGHTER.—Isaac Cooper was indicted for the man slaughter of his brother, James Cooper, at Wellington, on the 22d of May last. Mr. Johnson Neale prosecuted; Mr. Yardley defended the prisoner. It appeared that until the day on which the melancholy oc currence, which formed the subject of this prosecution, took place, the prisoner and his deceased brother bad always lived upon terms of the most perfect friendship, and had never even been known to have had a quarrel, or indeed an altercation of any kind, though they had always resided under the same roof. On the night of the 22d of May, the deceased had been drink ing with some friends in Wellington, and the prisoner, ac companied by a man of the name of Machin, had gone out in search of him for the purpose of bringing him home. They met him in New-street, and requested him to retarn with them, which he attempted to do, but being exceedingly drunk, he could only walk with difficulty ; the prisoner, therefore, and Machin supported him between them, and had conveyed him some distance, when they came to a liquor-shop, which the de ceased expressed a wish to enter. The prisoner objected and endeavoured to induce him to go home, upon which the de ceased became extremely violent, and catching hold of the prisoner by the collar, and at the same time (placing his leg behind him, threw him violently to the ground, falling heavil y by his side. The prisoner lost the control of his temper upon this provocation, and when they rose a struggle took place, during which the deceased received a blow upon his right eye, which felled him to the pavement, and the back of his head AUGUST 3, 1842. c ~~ ~ ~ !and say it was all right ? Witness—l don't remeni )er that part of it. I said to the policeman, "They ha vo given me my pin; you may let them go if you like. Mr. Payne—Did you not say at that time that yoto had lost your money in gambling ? Witness-4 said that I had lost some money in gambling. Mr. Payne—Did you not say that you had given them , the pin for 101. which you had lost ? Witness--No, decidedly not. Mr. Payne—Did you borrow a sovereign of MGM to pay the cab hire ? Witness—Decidedly not. Mr. Payne—Did you not say at your last examination that you had merely been at breakfast with the prisoners, and that they admired the pin, when you showed it to them, and they ran away ? Witness—l did not. I said I went N breakfast with them, but that I did nob know under what circumstances the pin was taken. Mr. Payne—Did you not afterwards say that it was forcibly taken from you ? Witness—l did not. Mr. Payne—Did yuu not say that you went into the house in Jermyn-street almost by accident ? Witness— ' did. Mr. Payne—How came you then to stay there and play till you lost upwards of 30L? Witness—l had been drinking and acted foolishly. I had not been in a house of the sort for 18 years. Mr. Payne—flow long have you been in England ? Witness-1 lave not been in England above five weeks. Mr. Payne—Have you not been applied to lately to pay the cheque you gave for 20/. Witness—l have been applied to by one of the greatest (I'll not mention the word) to . keep back evidence—to suppress my evidence •, but I said 1 did not. see how I could do it. I have no vindictive feeling against the prisoners. The witness was then cross-examined as follows by Mr. Ilobler Mr. Hobler—What refreshment did you take at the house in Jermyn-street ? Witness—Some sherry and water. Mr. Hobler—Why did you give the prisoners your address ? Witness—Well, if you must know, it was this way. In the course of conversation I said I wanted to buy a horse. M`Gill said he kept a pair ; one was a very quiet one, and if I would give him my 'address he would drive over in his phaeton and show it me. He said, too, that I had been dreadfully fleeced, and if I felt inclined to play again at any other time he would take me to a house where I should not be served that Mr. Hobler—What were you in South . Atherica ? Witness—A gentleman and merchant. Mr. Hobler—How long were you in South America ? Whims—About a year. I was also at New tiouth Wales and Van Dienien's Land. Mr. Ilobler—Do you know a Mr. Dubourg ? Witness —I don't recollect that I do. Mr. Hobler—Did you ever }live any bill transaction with Mr. Dubourg ? Witness—Never. Mr. Hobler.—What were you at NbW South Wales ? Witness—l thought perhaps I should besoked some such questions as these so I have brought a book to show. (The book was a Directory of Van Diemen s ,s Land, in which appeared the name of " Peckham, Henri, Esq., Chief Accountant of the Derwent Bank.") At Sidney, I went into business as a general merchant. I did busi ness to the amount of 40,000/. a year, and was very successful. Police-constabe A 155, was next examined.—He stated that, about half-past six, on the morning of the 20th ult., Mr.Peckham came to him to the station-house at Scotland yard, and said he had lest a diamond pin at a coffee-house, and that three gentlemanly-looking men had stolen it. Witness got into a cab with the complainant, and they drove all about the back streets of Lambeth, but could not meet with them ; at last, on their return, when near the Marsh-gate, Lambeth, witness saw the two prisoners and another person, not in custody, coming along the street ; he asked complainant if those were the parties, and complainant answered that they were. They then got out of the cab, and witness stated the charge to the prisoners. M`Gill at once produced the pin, and said that he had lent complainant, to whose house he said he was going, 101. upon it. They all went into a linend4tper's shop, and were given Into custody, but the third man escaped. Prosecutor gave witness the sovereign to pay the cab, and wanted him to keep 10s. for his trouble, but he did not do so. In his (witness's) opinion prosecutor did not seem at all anxious to let the prisoners go. Prosecutor was sot exactly sober at . half-past six when he first called upon witness at the station ; but it was then eight o'clock, and he was quite sober by that time. Witness did not at any time hear the prosecutor say that he was satisfied to let the prisoners go. By Mr. JARDINE—Have been in search of the third man, and have ascertained that he has left London. Witness searched the prisoners, and found ort Perkins a 51. note, six sovereigns and a half sovereign in gold, and 15s. in silver. On WWII he also fuune22s. 6d. in silver. Mr. Payne then addressed the Court on behalf of the prisoners. He said; that "however _.the prosecutor might have conchacted'himself at the late inquiry when he (Mr. Pune) wits not present, to-day he (Me. - 'Payne) should "have -no hesitation in saying, 7 that if this .case went before a Jury, no attention what ever would be paid to his evidence ; and he apprehended that' a nagistrateacted upon the principle ef not sending men before a Jury, where there was not a fair chance of their conviction, otherwise where was the good of this preliminary investigation ? The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to comment • upon alleged discrepancies in the complainant's evidence, putting it to the Court whether it was not much more likely that the com plainant should have raised money on his pin than that the prisoners should rob him of it in broad day-light, and contended that there was no case to go before a Jury. Mr. nobler followed on the same side. Mr. JARDINE, having carefully perused the whole of the evidence, said, I think this is a case in which a Jury must decide. There. are contradictions in the evidence, but the facts are of that peculiar nature on which a Jury must decide. I shall commit yott-to take your trial. Mr. Payne applied to have the prisoners admitted to bail. Mr. JARDINE replied that this was a case in which he could not accept bail. The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute, and the prisoners were removed in custody. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OUTRAGE ON A MARRIED FEMALE.—Thomas Jordan, a dissipated looking Irishman, about thirty-five years of age, was placed at the bar on the following charge : Mrs. Martha llamptou, a young and good . looking woman, very respectably dressed, stated that she reinded at No. 16, St. Anne's-court, Soho-square, and was the wife of a police constable belonging to the C About nine on Monday night, as she was returning home, having been to her husband, who was on duty at the station-house in Vine-street, Piccadilly, she, in passing along Marshall-street, Golden-square, met with the prisoner, who was coming in the opposite,direction ; and as he passed her he threw his arms round her waist, and then assaulted her in a most brutal and indecent manner. actually pulling her clothes up nearly over her head. On letting go his hold of her he walked quickly on, but complainant, determining that he should not escape, closely followed him up, intending to give him in charge to the first police-constable she met with. The prisoner perceiving this, turned round, and made use of threaten ing and obscene language to complainant, but she per severed in following him until he took refuge in a coffee shop, from which, on her making known the gross man ner in which she had been used, he was thrust into the street by the proprietor, and a constable coming up at the instant, she gave him in charge. Police Constable, No. 49, of the C division, stated that the complainant on giving the prisoner into custody, made exactly the same statement as she now had. The prisoner, who was very anxious to make his escape, had been drinking, but knew perfectly well what he was about. Mr. MALTBY (to the prisoner)—What answer have you 'to make to this charge, of committing a most gross and indecent assault upon a respectable married female, as she was walking in a public thoroughfare. Taking all the circumstances into consideration, it is one of the most aggravated cases I have ever met with. Prisoner—l most solemnly declare before God that the woman has perjured herself. I never laid my hand upon her. I happened to push against her with my shoulder as I passed her ; it was accidentally done, and I thought so little of it, that I. walked on without noticing it, when she followed , me, and in revenge trumped up this wicked lie against . me. If I committed such an assault upon her as she describes, and in the publie street too, some persons must have seen it, but I defy her to produce a single witness. I'll stake my existence she cannot bring one. Mr. MALTBY asked the complainant if she he'd any witnesses. The complainant said she had not; thert 4 e was no person by at the moment the prisoner assaulted her. Prisoner—You know it is all false you have stated. Complainant declared that she had spoken nothing but the truth. Mr. MALTBY—I believe you; the charge is fully proved to my satisfaction. (To the prisoner.)—What are you? Prisoner—A master tailor. Mr. MALTBY—I fine you 51., or in default of payment, you will be committed to Westminster Bridewell for two months to hard labour. Prisoner (doggedly)—l've not 'five farthings, and I'll go to prison.—lle was accordingly committed. CLE.RKENWELL.

UNION-HALL. • HIGHWAY ROBBERY. — IIenry Taylor was brought be fore Mr. Cottingham, charged with knocking down and robbing_ Mr. Patrick Keefe, an upholsterer, in Pitt street, Southwark. The complainant stated that on the preceding night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, as he was walking home, when in St. George's-road, he was suddenly knocked down, and when on the ground the prisoner snatched his watch from his pocket. Complainant en deavoured to recover the watch, and having caught the seals, held the prisoner, until a Mr. Lee came to his as sistance. Another man was with the prisoner at the time, hut he made his escape.
