The illustrations of this sparkling little annual are alone worth the money paid for the entire volume, and do as much credit to the good taste of its editor, as to the liberality of its proprietor. The engraving descriptive of the " Seventh Plague of Ecypt" is really magnificent : the sublime attitude of the Pro phet, the wild lurid appearance of the atmosphere, and the lavish splendour of the devoted city, evince imagination of the loftiest order, to which Mr. Le Keux's engraving has barely done justice. " The Logicians" is a humorous and ably-conceived print; but not better than Mr. Hood's verses attached to it, which, though less. showy, perhaps, than his professed" oddities," have more arch subdued fancy about them. The " Loss of the Kent East Indiaman" tells its own tale with fidelity. The appearance of the vessel, in particular, is striking and impressive. Miss Mitford's tale of the " Country Apothecary" is characteristic, and drawn from life • and affords a fair sample of the general merits of the rohme. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Mr. Macready, last night, made his first appear ance as Hamlet at this theatre, and went through the part (with the exception of occasional affectation) to the infinite satisfaction of a very empty house.

The admirers of that grand instrument the Organ, were on Saturday evening highly delighted at the trial performance of a most m agnificent instrum e nt pre vious to its being sent off to Blackburn, in Lancashire. It was built by GRAY, and has been four years in hand. In size it is only surpassed by the famous one at Yarmouth ; but in power and richness of tone, it is allowed by all who have had the opportunity orltearing it, to be superior to any modern Organ in the kingdom. Mr. GRAY'S ware house was crowded at an early hour by a most fashionable audience, among whom were th eminentvibrated Professors of that instrument, and many nd instru mental performers. The performance was conducted by Mr. S. WESLEY and Son, and consisted of some of the most favorite pieces of sacred music, which were rap turously applauded. The full and deep tone of the dia pasons, and the remarkably sweet and clear flute and cre mona stops, were greatly admired. The twell, with the combination of a double diapason, was singularly grand, rendering the effect alike rich and novel. 'Jibe full Organ was magnificent i n the extreme, the trumpet particularly smooth, and the double bass pedal pipes uttering their tones in a manner uncommonly distinct and majest ic.— 1,500 i gu i n eas is said to be th e contract p r ice for this sin gularly beautiful tustriment, INHUMAN MURDER OF A FEMALE AT OXFORD. OXFORD, LAST NIGHT, TWELVE O'CLOCK. EXCLUSIVE. During the present week this City has been kept in the greatest excitation, produced by th' perpetration of one of the foulest murders that have, perhaps, ever been registered in the annals of crime, and we regret to state that up to the hour, last night, that our Reporter left the City, the monster, whose hand inflicted the inhuman deed, had not been apprehended, nor to our knowledge has any clue been obtained that will ultimately trace out the demon, notwithstanding the City has offered a reward of one hundred guineas for his detection, in addition to which the University has offered another hundred, making two hundred guineas for the apprehen sion of the murderer. The unfortunate woman who has been so in humanly murdered was about 23 years of age, and of great personal beauty. The name by which she was known in Oxford was Ann Crutchley, but it is believed her real name is Preece or Price : she was a native of Hereford shire, and her family are in a respectable sta tion of life in that part. She had not been many months in the city, whither she was brought by a young gentleman who had seduced her from her parental roof, and then abandoned her to the world. Thus situated, without a friend to assist her, she became , a prey to prostitution, but was remarkable for the mildness of her man ners ; and she was far beyond the class of such unfortunate outcasts, and her fate ap peared to excite great commiseration. The unfortunate girl was particularly noticed by the gentlemen collegians, who would frequently in duce her to think liquors through the bars of their windows, in consequence of which, she sometimes became intoxicated. Unfortunately she was passing Brazenose College on Thurs day evening last, and some of thegentlemen called her to the window and made her drink a quan tity of brandy out of a teapot, the spout of which they put through the bars, the poor girl became insensible from the effects of the spirits, and at a late hour she was found in a dying state upon some straw, in a passage in Blue Boar lane, near' the Racket-ground, with her dress muoli dis ordered, her petticoats above her knees, and the lower part of her person soaked in blood. The poor creature was con veyed home in a barrow, and on examination taking place there could be no doubt but she had been violated, and her person most inhumanly injured. The poor creature lingered till the following morning, when she expressed her knowledge of her approaching dissolution, and said that a man whom she did not know had ill-used her (describing the manner), shortly after which she expired. The body of the poor girl, has, since death, undergone a minute sur gical investigation, and such were the dreadful injuries she had sustained by some sharp-edged instrument, that they arc beyond parallel ; the -description of them, however, - will be found in the sequel, as developed by the two surgeons (Messrs. Dickerson and Paxton,) on the INQUEST ON THE BODY. The inquest was held, pursuant to adjourn. , ment, on Monday night last, before GEORGE CECIL, Esq., Coroner for the city and county of Oxford, and a highly respectable Jury, at the Three Crowns Tavern, St. Thomas's. The in vestigation excited the most intense interest, and the utmost anxiety prevailed throughout the town as to its result, as a person resident in the neighbourhood, and who was in attendance upon the inquest, was strongly suspected of being a party implicated in the dreadful affair. • The. Jury having been empanelled and sworn, proceeded with the Coroner , to view the body of the unhappy girl : it was lying at her lodgings, at the house of Mrs. Cox in St. Thomas's. The corpse was re marked by the jury to be the most handsome they had ever before seen, the limbs being cast in nature's finest mould, and of the most delicate symmetry. On the left breast there were disco loured marks of a man's thumb and four fingers, and similar marks upon both alleles ; her left side was much discoloured, and various other contusions were •visible about her Person, but which delicacy prevents our describing. The marks on the breast and ancles are considered to have been produced by two monsters, by holding her down perhaps whilst a third inflicted the deadly injuries on the unhappy girl. On the return of the Jury, the following evi dence was taken by Mr. CECIL, the coroner, touching otn the ued g e s d affairr s e w a o d i. f .n u . l —am : John the porter at All id morning last, at about a quarter pa s t 12 o Saints' College in thi s c i ty . On Flock ,,c .ay laorrrti arrived home at my house in Blue Boar-lane, n ear the Racket-court, and on approachin g the door I found a female sitting on the step ; her head was lying on the step, and her heels in the gutter. I could-per ceive she was intoxicated, and unable to speak. I knocked at the door, and my servant, James Champ, came out, and we removed her into a narrow pas sage close by, where we left her with her head rest ing against the wall. I went to look for a watchman, leaving Champ with ber. In Bear-lane I saw a ng man namcd Llewellyn, and a female named Harriett Mitchell, in conversation. I asked them if they had seen the watchman ? and they said they had not. I then told them' that a female was l y ing in the passage intoxicated, and that I wanted a watchman to carry her home to her lodgings. The young w oman Mitchell said she knew her well, that it was. Ann Crutchley, a friend of her's, and that she woidd help her home. She further said, that she a nd Crutchley had been drinking together at Brazenose College, but that she (Mitchell) was not so tipsy a s her. Llewellyn and the girl Mitchell then returned with me to the deceased, and Ave there found a watchman, and a man named John Wil liams, a painter, living in Oxford. Williams and the young man Ll e wellyn lifted th e deceased up upon her feet, but she was unable to stand, and it was then proposed by them to remove her home to her lodgings in a wheelbarrow, upon which I and my boy Champ went away , and I saw no more of her till after her death. CORONER—When you first saw her sitting at your door, did y o u observe any blood about her, or . on the Pavement ? . Witness answered in the negative, he was sure . there was no bl oo d about her. • Ihlß°ll--Who was the w a t chman that you found with Williams, on your return to the deceased with Llewellyn and Mitchell ? witness—His name I believe is Field. Richard Llewellyn swern—l am apprenticed to Mr. Wm. Allen, of this town, tailor. On the night of Thursday last I heard a woman squalling and laughing in the High -street, and on my going up, I found it to be Harriett Mitchell; I stood talking to her, When the last witness came up, and asked me if I had seen the watchman. On his telling me that a female was lying in the passage drunk, I returned with him and found the deceased lying as he had described. Her cap was off her head, and her black silk apron was lying in the gutter. I attempted to raise her on her legs but she could not stand. Field, the watchman was there, and Harriet Mitchell asked him to let her stop in his box, but he, replied, 44 No, I'll see her first." , I remained with her about twenty minutes, and then went away, leaving one young man with her, I believe it was Williams; I proposed to him to carry her home, but he would not assist me. CORONER—At the time you left her, did you see any blood upon her person, or upon the ground ? Witness.—No, I did not, sir, I can swear there was no blood about her at that time. JUROR.—Did she speak at all ? Witness answered in the negative. I heard her groan once, but I saw no blood. Harriet Mitchell sworn.—l have been acquainted with the deceased two days only. On Thursday evening last, about seven o'clock, I met her, and we walked together from St. Thomas's to Brazenose College. When we came there, the deceased went up to the •s'mdow of one of the gentlemen's rooms, and seven or eight of the gownsmen came to the window, and one of them asked her if she would take any thing; she answered, " Yes, a little wine." One of them said 'he had no wine, but he would g i ve her a little brandy if she would have it. She consented ;,and the gentleman then said, as he could not get a glass between the bars, she must drink it from the spout of a tea-pot, which she did. She drank twice in this manner. After this I and the deceased walked away together, but she ran away. CORONER—Do you know any thing about her death ? Witness—No; I do not, Sir. Witness continued—l followed her into the High street, and saw her talking to Cox, the watchman, and heard her ask him the way into St. Thomas's parish. He told her she was tipsy. She then turned back, and went towards Carfax, and on getting to Blue Boar-lane she turned down very fast. I then met with Llewellyn, and whilgt we were standing together the witness Hedges came up, and told us of the circumstance of the deceased lying near his house. I and Llewellyn went back with Hedges to the deceased, and I found that she could neither stand or speak. I went away to procure the assist ance of Cox the watchman of St. Thomas's parish, where the deceased resided, but I was so overcome that I cannot recollect any more that took place till about half-past one o'clock, when I found myself at my lodgings. The deceased was about twenty-four years of age. By the ofiry—The liquor the deceased drank ap peared to be brandy. Does not think any drug had been introduced into it. Mr. Joseph Dickeson of the city of Oxford, sur geon and apothecary, sworn. On Friday morning last, about eight o'clock, he attended Aim Crutch ley, at her lodgings, in St. Thomas's parish ; she was then completely insensible from the loss of blood from the womb; there was no external injury. I could not account for the loss of the blood,• there being no external marks of violence whatsoever.--e She appeared to be dying, I adopted the plans ne cessary in cases of flooding, and left her. I returned in the evening and found her getting worse, and she died about two o'clock next morning. I asked her what she had drank, and the only answer I had from her was "Port." There were symptoms of her having swalloWed something of a poisonous nature; the symptoms were sickness, and loss of motion, vieleilt pins in the stomach after swallowing, pulse imperceptible, and dilation of pupils.. In cense quenee of these appettran'ceS T deemed it necessary to open the body, which • I did in the presence of Mr. Paxton, surgeon and apothecary, of this city. Onexamination I found all the contents of the ab domen in_ perfect health; and no' sign of a ruptured vessel connected with the womb. On examining the womb internally, about two inches from the ex ternal part there were two cuts about two inches in length, apparently as if they had been done with a double-edged instrument; and the parts were so much lacerated as to cause the flow of blood which, in my opinion occasioned her death. The injury must have been inflicted 'by some other person, and not by the deceased; and that at the time it was done she must have been in a state of insensibility. James Champ, servant to Mr. Hedges, sworn— Between the hours of twelve and one o'elock on Friday morning last, I returned from All Saints' Hall with my master, Mr. Hedges, to his house, in Blue Boar-lane. On our arrival we found the de ceased lying as has been described by my master. and Mr. Hedges lifted her up, and removed her three or four yards from the door. She did not speak a word. She seemed very drunk, but at this time there was no blood about her, nor did she seem at all injured. My master called to a man named John Williams, who was ♦walking by the end of the passage, along Blue Boar-lane, and he came up; Llewellyn and Mit chell asked him to stay with her (the deceased) whilst they, procured some one to take her home. Williams said he would stay with her for an hour. The young man and woman then went away, as also did I and my master, leaving Williams with the deceased. I and my master remained with her till the young man and woman went away, and I am certain they did not use any violence towards her. I heard Llewellyn propose to Williams to assist her home to her lodgings, and Williams offered the watchman a shilling to carry her home; the watch man said, he would take her home if he could get a wheel-barrow; Williams said it would be the best way ; Williams and the watchman then tried to lift her up to carry her, but said she was too heavy; Llewellyn then said, he (the watchman) had better put her into his box. The watchman replied, "No, I'll see her first." The watchman and Williams did not come up to the young woman together; wit ness will swear that no person has persuaded him to keep back any thing he knows respecting the affair , awl lie has disclosed every thing he knows about her death. CoßoNEß.—Then Williams was left alone with the deceased ? _ Witness.—Yes, Sir, lie was. CORONRIL—Did he make any more observations whilst you were present, than you have told us ? Witness.—None whatever, sir. CORONER.—And you will swear you have not been induced to withhold any thing from us ? Witness.--4 will swear that. - CORONER.—Did you hear Field, the watchman,l on being asked to allow the deceased to sit . in his box, say, C. I'll see her first." Witness answered in the affirmative. Several of the Jury here spoke with great indig nation upon the inhuman conduct of Field, and hoped the Coroner would not fail in making it known in a proper quarter. The CORONER assured the Jury he would repre sent his conduct as it deserved to the Committee. Richard Field sworn—l am a watchman of the parish of All Saints. On Friday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, as I was goin g m y rounds I saw Williams standing in Swan- court , an d he walked with me to Mr. Hedges' h ouse , w hich is adjoining Blue Boar-lane, and aft er we , h a d pro ceeded about 100 yards we saw th e d ecease d,iying on some straw in a passage, two or t h ree yar ds from Hedges' door. We looked at he r an d f o und she was in liquor, but at this - time there were no signs of any blood about her person or upon the ground. Whilst we were there Llewellyn and the other girl came , up, and Llewellyn asked me to take the girl into my box, which I refused, b ut h e did not ask me to assist in carrying her home. I said to the, person who asked me to take her into my box, that I would see them -- first. I then went away, leaving Williams, Llewellyn, and the girl Mitchell with the deceased, and I did not see them again. About two o'cloCk in the morning I returned to the spot again, having previously told Cromwell, another watchman, that a girl of the name of Bailey had left another girl drunk in Davis's-passage (the pas sage where the deceased was left), and we returned together. The deceased was then sitting on the ground and alone. I said nothing to her, but went back and met Cox, the watchman of St. Mary's, and told him of the circumstance, and lie said, as soon as he had been rounds, be would go and see her. I afterwards saw Cox, and he said he had been,. and that there was a large quantity of blood about her, and on the ground, and that he thought the girl was dying. I then procured a barrow, and with assistance I wheeled her home. Her clothes were soaked in blood, and she was in a senseless state, and appa rently lifeless. I carried her in the wheelbarrow to Mr. Simmonds, the apothecary, and he advised me to take her to the Hospital, but I subsequently took her home to her lodgings, at Mrs. Cox's, in St. Thomas's parish, and I went back and requested Mr. Simmonds to go and see her. He said lie would not, and desired me to apply to the Parish Doctor (Mr. Dickeson) ; I left her at Mr. Cox's, under the care of Mrs. Cox. I afterwards went to Mr. Dic kerson's and requested him to go to the girl, which he promised to do. I did not call the hour of one around Davis';-passage. CORONER—The Jury think you have acted ex tremely negligent in this affair. You were requested to permit this unfortunate girl to sit in your box, and the answer you made was—" I'll see her first." lam of the same opinion, your conduct was most inhuman and barbarous, and you may depend upon it that you will hear of it hereafter. Field denied having said. so ; he told the person that asked him, that he would see him first, but he did not mean it to apply to . the deceased. One of the Jurors obseried, that it was most ex traordinary that he omitted calling the hour of one that morning. In all human probability had he done so, this inhuman murder would not have been per petrated. Field could not explain why he had neglected so to do. Esther Stimpson, of the parish of St. Thomas, in the City of Oxford, spinster, sworn.—Between twelve and one on Friday morning I was going down Saint Aldates in Oxford in company with Maria Burley; we met Field the watchman, who told us there was a female very tipsy lying in Blue Boar-lane, in con sequence of which we went there and found Ann Crutchley lying on the ground in Davis's-passage apparently very much intoxicated, her petticoats were then up as high as her knees; there *ere no marks of violence or blood upon her ; she had no cap on and was quite insensible; there was ,a young man of the name of Williams standing by her, and no one else; Williams said he should wait there till Mitchell came back, as she had gone to call Mr. Cox to fetch her home; I and Maria Burley staid about five minutes and then went away, leaving Williams with the deceased; Lewellyn had come up when I and Maria Burley went away, Lewellyn went with us. Williams, when we went up, was standing about half a yard from Ann Crutchley; does not know whether Williams was acquainted with the deceased. James Paxton, of the city of Oxford, surgeon and apothecary, sworn—On Saturday last I accompanied Mr. Dickesen, and assisted in opening the body of Ann Crutchley ; I found the body exceedingly pale from loss of, blood, the womb was perfectly healthy, there were two wounds in the vulva, apparently cut with a knife, which had caused a great effusion of blood and occasioned death; the stomach was per fectly healthy, and I do not believe her death could have been caused by intoxication; I think that a sharp instrument had been introduced into the vulva, which had two wounds and were much lacerated ; there were several severe bruises on the left breast and arm, and on both the legs and thighs of Ann Crutchley, but those bruises were not sufficient to occasion her death ; I do not believe that she could lave inflicted the wounds herself, the bruises were recent. Anthony Cromwell, watchman of St. Aldates' parish, sworn—On Friday morning, about one o'clock, I met Richard Field in the High-street, who told me there was a woman lying drunk in Blue Boar-lane. I said I had not seen her. I after wards went to Davis's passage, and found the de ceased lying there. Williams, the painter, was standing near her with his watch in his hand. There were no other persons with the deceased but him. He told me he had been there 15 or 20 minutes expecting a man and woman to come back. I then went on my duty, leaving Williams still with her. She was sitting when I left her apparently asleep. At 'this time there were no appearances of blood abQut her or on the ground, and her clothes appeared to be down. At about a quarter past one I returned and met Williams opposite Mr. Badcock's house, about One hundred and fifty yards from where I had left the girl. I asked him how -slle was ? He said, "Just the same as when you left her." He then proceeded on. In about five minutes after I returned to the deceased and found her sitting as I had before left her. When I left her the second time it was not sufficiently light to distinguish whether there was any blood upon or near her; bui the third time when I went with Field and Cox to assist in carrying her home, I perceived that she was covered with blood and quite insensible. Williams is now in the house. Williams said to me on Saturday evening.—" It must have been ten minutes past one o'clock when you left me." I replied, " It must have 'been twenty minutes more than that, which you ought to know, us you had your watch in your hand. ' He made no reply to this, but went away. Mary Ann . Cox, the wife of James Cox, of the parish of St. Thomas, Oxford, watchman, sworn— The deceased had lodged with me about four months. She Was frequently in the habit of coming three, st she was brought to m y lotl wat m en. I by Field, Cox, and Cromwell, d the went clown stairs and took her in, an . home tipsy late at night/ on e F ii r , i o dg h m alf o - rn a i s n t g watch men left her in my care; she was laid on some blankets by the fire, and I went up stairs; there was a light when the men brought her. I thought she was only tipsy. After I had gone up stairs a quarter of an hour, I heard her groaning; I went down and got a light, and examined leer, and found her in a bad state, and tlukt she had bled a great deal, and was then bleeding. Mr. Dickeson came about five o'clock, and knocked at Mr. Tandy's, the next door to my house; I looked out at the window, and asked him what he wanted ? He said he had called to attend a young woman ; I told Mr. Dickeson the girl was only intoxi cated, and he in . consequence w en t away, The s d tma pf b aopn e rl e , n ebmdu i rt l l le s 9hi e ee d aksi : eds aon a nn n o d tl t akg ag s oiv e nwe, s , vi. c do s m b hhe e e edci‘ b acv a mia : s l ee ,. deceased afterwards got worse, I t h en asked o'clock a that morning and ag a i n in the b of St. Mary's p ar i s h , in evening, her ‘lv n bre d oi i f i n y e s gse h s s ,i o g e al m ivnl ll et e d a n but j oslillen,dcieodx,thlevafotellhomwainng morning, morning Oxford, sworn- c -- e A as bo d u twelvet came up to m o'clock me at ° th Fda St. Mary's-Hall l ane , and asked the way t o S t . • miis , s vamp. I told her th e way, and she went up e t o r i p of y the street. She appeared to have been drinking, but could walk straight. The next time I saw her was, when she was lying in Davis's passage. She was then weltering in her blood, and appeared to be dying. The moon's beams shone upon , her, which enabled me to see her situation. A. discussion now took place between the Coro ner and Jury as to the propriety of examining the man Williams, against whom strong suspicion rested. It was ultimately agreed that he should be called in. On his entering the room Mr. Cecil, in . a very plain and • explanatory manner, told him that he was not bound to answer any questions that might be • . put to him by the Jury without he thought 'proper, and more particularly he can tioned him not to give such answers that would tend to criminate himself with the unhappy woman's death. He would say there were some suspicious :- circumstances against him, and in justice to him he - would also say there were some favourable to him. Having thus placed him upon his guard, he was at liberty to give what account he pleased to the gen tlemen of the Jury. He merely said he was quite innocent in having any participation in the death of the woman, and what he had done had been from motives of humanity. He had offered the watchman a shilling to carry her home, but he would not do it. Mr. Cecil said, he must. admit that that circum stance was in his favour. Williams said he could only say as he had d'o'ne before that he knew nothing whatever as to the manner she came by the injuries that caused her death. He was then desired to leave the room. Mr. Cecil then read over the evidence, and com mented thereon at considerable length as he pro ceeded. That the deceased had come by her death by the injuries as described by the surgeons, there could be no doubt, and the fact sworn •to by them, that it was impossible for her to have perpetrated them herself, placed it beyond all conjecture that she had been most brutally murdered. The next point for their consideration would be, whether they could safely say by whom the murder had been committed. He feared there was no evidence to enable them to do so. There certainly seemed some suspicion against Williams, but he certainly must say that it was so slight, that no Jury would ever convict him upon it. It however would be for the Jury to weigh the testimony of the wit nesses in their mind, and return such a verdict that the facts sworn to would warrant them in so doing. : The Jury consulted for several hours, they being divided in their opinions. Some were for returning a verdict of wilful murder against Williams, and others for wilful murder against some person or per sons unknown. However, there keing a majority for the latter, a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons at present unknown" recorded. MEETING OF THE MAGISTRATES. _ _ was On the day after the Inquest, a meeting of Ma gistrates took place, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best means to be adopted to bring the inhuman murderer to condign punishment : and the result was, the offering the amount above stated, as a reward, and immediately after, large hand bills were printed and widely disseminated, stating the determination of the meeting, and we sincerely hope that it will be the means of a speedy arrest of the murderer. THE FUNERAL. At half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon, the remains of the unfortunate girl.were removed from her lodgings, and interred in the burial-ground of St. Thomas. The coffin was followed by the mo ther of the deceased, who had arrived the day before from Hereford, to perform her last sad duty towards her daughter. Several of her friends followed a 7. mourners, and the coffin was consigned to the earth in the presence of a vast number of persons.
