SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. If it is by the labour of the artisan, aided by the capital employed, that profit is derived and the com munity enriched, how necessary and politic it is to keep and preserve the industrious working man in a state which will enable him to "labour, working with his hands the thing that is good," by guarding and protecting him under unmerited casualties or oppres sion. This is an axiom admitted in political economy, and it is applicable to all classes of society, high and low, rich and poor, in the respective vocations—to none more than the conductors of the public press. The opinion of the public as to the measures before and about to be brought before them—the labour of the leading and popular advocates and promoters of these measures—is that on which their capital is em ployed and the " profit" derived. " Whatever (as the Times paper justly observes, Dec. 25, 1833,) there fore, relates to the uprightness and honour of public men at the head of affairs, and especially of those con fleeted vvith the administration of justice, is a matter of in terest and importance to all." Now, the most fortunate hits on which the labour and capital of the Times were expended were—their advocacy of the cause of the late Queen Caroline, and the great question of Parlia mentary Reform. In " patronizing" Harry Brougham in both these great measures, they took the popular side, in which his labour was employed ; and if he obtained their justly-merited eulogies, and they were the means of first bringing that great man into public notice, the obligation was mutual, his labours contri buting materially to their "profit," in the progressive increase of the circulation of their journal ; and surely they could never have passed over his speeches, or all that he then did and has since done, without drawing down upon themselves the imputations which they passed on the Speaker of the House of Commons. Times, Sept. 2. 1833.—" It is strange that the Speaker, in enumerating the measures that had been completed by the Commons, made no mention of the Lord Chancellor's admirable Law Reforms, though the Sovereign thought them 'worthy of a very distinguished notice !" In despite of all the unme rited attacks, insinuations, and inconsistency of the Times, we should hope that Lord Brougham will not (to use the powerful and emphatic language of that journal—Times, Aug. 23, 1833), "as a man of less firm purpose of soul might have done, relinquish the people's cause. Having triumphantly proved the uti lity of the measures which he proposed—having re futed all the arguments which have been alleged against them--he will still persevere in his career of public utility, and in, fitture firing forward measures of re form calculated to serve the public to the utmost ex tent which they by whom these measures must be sanctioned will allow. The right mode of answer ing false imputations is to put the accuser to open shame by the clear light of truth."—Morning Chro nicle. " To live and let live" is one of those terse and in telligible maxims which comes home to the feelings and understandings, and generally to the situations of most men in society ; conveying a much stronger practical lesson than is sometimes to be found in the lengthened dissertation either of the moralist or divine. It is to this valuable maxim that we wish we could effectually draw the attention of the large body of ope ratives and their employers who are now involved in a state of hostility, mutually mischievous, and, as we believe, mutually provoked. We fear it has hitherto been too much neglected or lost sight of by them both. Of the tyranny exercised by the Trades Unions there have been too many instances, some of them pro ducing acts of the most frightful enormity, to leave any doubt in the minds of the calm judging, disinterested lookers on, that to live, and not to let live, is the maxim which they substitute for that which we allude to. On the other hand, the master builders, by a grasping mono poly, have been long endeavouring to centralize the vast business of the metropolis, and the larger works of the provinces, into a comparatively small number of hands, thereby lessening the number of workmen, diminishing their means of acquiring skill, and enabling them to dictate terms to them in a spirit of arbitrary exclusive ness, not less at variance with the above maxim. That the public are interested in seeing an end to both such Unions, but especially the latter, can admit of no doubt ; being, as it really is, a union to keep up prices and keep down competition, which, if allowed to prevail, actually inflicts a much heavier tax upon the community than any which is paid to the State. Siding then with neither party, but holding both to be decidedly in the wrong, can we do a better service to both, or to the public, than by counselling them, as we earnestly do, to pause—to look upon their present con test as a drawn battle, and to retire from it as from a field where victory is very unlikely to be obtained; where if obtained, it must be unaccompanied by any honour ; and, above all, by the consideration that while wran gling and arraying themselves against each other, the only prizes worth having, labour and the profit of labour, are either dispensed with by the employers, or of necessity falling into other hands ? But who is to give way ? 4 , Not the masters, surely," answers some one ; " they are not to succumb to the men." If we could decide which were most in the wrong, with that party we should say the retreat ought to commence. But we cannot do that, nor is it necessary. But there is one thing which each may do, and which would speedily work the end we have in view ; that is, let each party put itself in the right. Let the masters, from whom good examples should come, abolish their union and disclaim their monopoly ; and let the work men cease to molest each other by exercising or holding out a tone of persecution totally at variance with the liberty of free agency, which they in the same breath pro fess to expose and practically disclaim. We hear of leaders and prompters in this latter class. It is natural enough that those in the lower grades of life should look for counsel, at least, from the best-informed among themselves. If there is any fault in this ab stractedly, it arises from the unnatural position in which the masters place themselves. The master is the natural friend and counsellor of the workmen. The maxim, " Live and let live," would make him so still. But we would urge the workmen to be on their guard against evil counsellors, against interested counsellors, and above all against the demagogues. That there are but too many in one or more of these capacities ready enough to take advantage of their excited feel ings admits, we believe, of no doubt. At any rate the true and obvious interests of all but those last alluded to, is that this strife should be at an end. Good sense dictates this ; and right feeling will, we trust, prompt its immediate adoption. It is false pride of the very worst description which induces any one to hesitate as to who shall first do right.—Morn. Herald. When Lord Melbourne was advanced to the head of the Ministry, the people were told to expect more forward and decisive measures of improvement—they were assured that the clogs, and hindrances, and coun teracting powers were removed, and that thenceforth the Government would advance in a more free and steady conformity with the wishes of the nation. T o what purpose, then, can the ill-omened declaration of the Chancellor have been made, that " too much rather than too little has been done ;" and that if little was done in the last Session, less is to be ex pected in the next ?" To what purpose, we ask, can this declaration have been made, unless to damage the Ministry of Lord Melbourne in public opinion ? And it is to be observed, that if Lord Brougham can in jure Lord Melbourne's Ministry by assigning to it a Conservative character, and preaching despair to the people, he can do this safely to .himself, for the Tory language by which he discredits Lord Melbourne's Go vernment accredits him with the party that would rush into power upon the ruin of the present Ministry. If Lord Brougham can sink the bark by the odium of Conservatism, he will not sink with its crew, but swim with the Tories. The doctrines which operate to the damage of his present colleagues recommend him to their successors. While he makes the Whig Govern ment appear too Conservative for the support of the Reformers, he may make himself appear sufficiently Tory for a cordial coalition with that party in power. The very means by which he sinks the Cabinet of which he is now a member, raise him with the rival power. In the appropriate language of the turf for such jockeyship his conduct bears a strong appearance of hedging, and he seems to be laying his stake on the horse apposed to that on which he is ridi ng . It l oo k s like a Newmarket-triek, or a 404 for a new market. The Chancellor may be honester than he seems ; but it will be well for Lord Melbourne to look to his escapades. The Chief has to consider whether it is for the honour and advantage of his Ministry that the Chancellor travels through the country " crying stink ing fish" (as the homely saying most aptly describes such conduct). Lord Grey's Government fell short of public expectations—it was a disappointment ; and Lord Brougham goes forth to declare that less is to be hoped from the Melbourne Ministry than the little which was done by the preceding Cabinet, di vided in its counsels and impeded in its action by the Conservatives, who finally seceded. After disappoint ment this is a preparation for despair. Injurious as such language is calculated to be, it may yet be as much without motive as without sense or justice, but it should he watched by those whom it must damage, if any force or authority continues to belong to any thing proceeding from the Chancellor. The supposi tion that Lord Brougham may be laying himself out for the Tories—and he has already succeeded to some extent, as we showed yesterday by extracts from two organs of the party—may be met by the remark that he cannot cont mplate any thing so wild as the stabi lity of a Tory Ministry ; but those who have marked the late wildness of the Learned Lord will so no force in that argument, for his views may easily be supposed as wild as his language and his conduct. He wishes to be Premier—he is dissatisfied, and not without rea son, with his judicial office—and his wishes fashion ing his judgment, he would never mistrust any ground that presented the darling object of his ambition. An egg-shell would loom a line-of-battle-ship in his sight, so that it was freighted with his fortunes as Prime Mi nister. The Ministry that would seem stable in his fancy is the Ministry in which he should be chief.— Times. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1834. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, SEPT. 10. (Before the Learned Chief Commissioner.) At the sitting of the Court Mr. COOKE moved that an order made in 1830, by which the sum of 20/. a year was ordered to be set aside for the benefit of the creditors out of the half-pay of a Paymaster of one of the regiments of the Light Dragoons, be rescinded. The Learned Counsel said that the gentleman for whom he appeared had stated in his affidavit that he was discharged in 1830, and the sum of 20/. a year had been ordered to be paid to his as signees out of his half-pay of 7s. Gd. a day, which amounted to 136/. 17s. Gd. a year. The sum ordered by the Court had been regularly paid, but the remainder was found, after great difficulties, quite insufficient for the support of himself and family. He was a widower, and four daughters and two sons, some of whom were depending upon him for support. He had stated that he was in the 56th year of age, having been the army thirty-seven, 29 years of which had been spent in actual service. He had applied to be put on full pay, but his application was refused for no other reason than that of his having taken the benefit of the Act. The Learned Counsel said that perhaps the Court would grant a rule on the assignees to reduce the allowance to 101. a year, under the peculiar circumstances of the case. The Learned Chief Commissioner granted a rule to re duce the allowance generally. OLD BAILEY.-SEPT. 10.

James Williams, alias Edwards, alias Cooper, was sentenced to transportation for life for returning from the Colonies. The Recorder observed that he was indebted to the alteration in the law, as the former Act decreed that the offence should be punished with death. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A woman named Elizabeth Early was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having uttered bad money. The prisoner went to a person who sold oysters and or dered a pennyworth, and threw down a bad shilling, when the oysterman told her that her money would not do. She said that she had no more, and took up the shilling and said she would call again. Rudge, the beadle of All Hallows, London-wall, followed the woman, and soon ascertained that she was a most de termined smasher. The beadle searched her, and upon turning over her basket he found eighteen counterfeit half crowns, 101 bad shillings, and forty-four sixpences. The prisoner was remanded. MARLBORO UGH- STREET. A discussion relative to the arrangements instituted in cases of lost and found infants yesterday occurred before Mr. DYER. It appeared that a female infant, apparently about three years old, had been found by the constable on duty in Ber wick-street, and he immediately took it to the St. Ann's station-house. Not being inquired for in the course of an hour, it was sent to St, James's workhouse, where they re fused to receive it. Mr. Bryant yesterday attended, and assigned his reason for refusal. A short time ago, a child had been brought there, and had remained there eighteen days. It was at length owned, and the father of it then said that he had ap plied at the office of the Commissioners of Police, and his treatment there by the constables had been rude, and they told him they knew nothing about the lost child, Mr. Dewing, the inspector said that every facility was given to the discovery of lost children. The circumstance was entered invariably in their minute books, and communi cated on every afternoon to the clerks of the seventeen di visions. Thus in a short space of time it reached through out the police-force. The parties then withdrew, the overseers admitting the child. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday George Belt, a journeyman shoe-maker, who has been in custody for the last fortnight, on a charge of having, in a fit of love and jealousy, made a most deter mined and desperate attempt to murder a female, named Martha Clements, was brought before Messrs. NV A LKER and TUBBS for final examination. The prosecutrix, whose mannerand appearance seem much superior to the generality of persons in her situation, is still suffering most severely from the effects of the serious injuries inflicted on her person by the prisoner, anti was obliged to be removed from her residence to the office and back again in a hackney-coach. On being accommodated with a chair and sworn, she stated that on Tuesday fort night between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, while engaged in washing out her room, she heard some one enter the apartment in a hurried manner, and on turn ing round she observed it was the prisoner, with a knife in his hand. He instantly rushed towards her and said, " Martha, I am come to murder you, and murder you I will before I leave you." He then dashed the knife towards her abdomen on her left side with great force, and owing to an alteration in her stays . the busk was on the left side, and the knife passed through it and wounded her severely, as the blood at once spouted out, and her shoes and dress we re in a moment covered with it. The prisoner then endeavoured to drag the knife across her per eon, exclaiming at the same time, " rip you open ;" but it was so fast in the whalebone that he could not do so, and it was with some difficulty he could draw it out. On get ting it• out, however, he made many thrusts at her heart, but the whalebone of her stays warded all except one off, and he then made a cut at the lower part of her person and inflicted a deep wound on the fleshy part of the thigh. By this time she had fallen to the ground from exhaustion, when the prisoner made a cut at her throat, but she put up her hand to protect herself, and re ceived a severe cut on one of her fingers. At this time the prisoner, hearing some person coming down stairs, rushed out of her room, and through the front door into the street, and she was certain, that had not her cries brought this person (her landlord) to her assistance the prisoner would have killed her on the spot. In reply to the qUestions of the Magistrates the witness stated that about ten or twelve years ago the prisoner occupied apart ments in her mother's house, and he then paid her every marked attention ; but in consequence of his going into the army, she had lost sight of him from that time until some months ago, when he renewed his attentions. Being in ra ther reduced circumstances at the time, and the prisoner making very specious promises to her, she agreed to his putting up their banns at Shoreditch Church, and, thinking that they might save the amount of his lodging, she con sented to his coming to live with her, and for four or five weeks they resided together as man and wife. During this time, however, lie conducted himself so improperly, by selling the articles with which she was entrusted to wash, getting drunk, &c., that she determined on having nothing further to do with him, and she accordingly removed into another neighbourhood. He was fully committed for trial. W OR SHIP- STREET. Yesterday John Lucas, a very respectably-attired middle aged man, who was on Saturday week last remanded on a charge of having robbed his employers, Messrs. Kent and Co., general merchants, Falcon-square, City, of property to a considerable amount, as stated in our Paper of the Mon day following, W2,S placed at the bar, before Messrs. BROUGHTON and TWYFORD, for final examination, and fully committed to Newgate for trial. A young man of very respectable connections, named Ebenezer Morris, the son of a Dissenting Minister, was placed at the bar before Mr. BROUGHTON, charged with robbing his employer, Mr. Wm. Mayles Lander, a silk mercer and linen-draper in Upper Whitecross-street, St. Luke's.—Committed. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday a man, who refused to give his name, dressed in a most extraordinary manner, was brought before Mr. White by a police constable, charged with being drunk and disorderly in 0».el-square on the previous evening. The prisoue,- had something on his back which appa rently had once been a coat, but it now might be mere aptly termed a spencer, the tails having been lost : he wore a white nightcap, which was a fine contrast to a face smeared with soot. The constable on the previous evening found the prisoner in Queen-square very drunk, conducting himself in a most disorderly manner, and interrupting every person that passed. Prisoner—Me drunk, your Worship ! me, who never drunk anything but water ! Mr. WHITE—What is your name? Prisoner—My name is Joseph Clapson. Mr. WHITE—And pray where do live Prisoner—At the Bull in the Dover-road. Mr. WHITE—What do you say to the charge of being drunk ?—Prisoner—l never drunk any thing but water yesterday. The constable said that he had been drinking on the pre vious afternoon at the Hoop and Grapes, and afterwards refused to pay for it. Prisoner—The fact is, Sir, I am mad. Mr. WHITE—Mad ! do you say ?—Prisoner—Yes, Sir, mad. I've only just come out of the New Bedlam. Mr. WHITE.—Just come out of the New Bedlam ? Pray when did you come out ? Prisoner.—Why, let me see ;it was last Friday ; but I am quite mad. Mr. WHITE should order him to be detained until his friends were sent for. The prisoner was then locked up. John Petney, a sort of costermonger, and Mary, his wife, two of the most notorious gin drinkers in the metro polis, were charged by a police-constable with being rolling drunk in Great Peter -street, at eleven o'clock on the pre vious evening. During the time the constable was giving his evidence the defendant and his wife were expatiating on their great respectability, which they said would bear the strictest investigation. Mr. WHITE—WeII, John Petney, what have you got to say to this charge ?—Got to say to this here charge ? Vy, I have this here to say, that I considers it a werry hard case. Here's my old vowan and me, ve can never come down into this here part of Vestminster on bisiness like, but so sure as ye comes, so sure ve are seized upon by hact of Parlamint like, and lodged in the vatchus. Now I con siders this werry hard, particulally as you see as how I've cut Vestminster—its sick a werry low wulgar place. Mr. WHITE—Pray where do you live now ?—I hope your Vorship don't think as how I lives in Vestminster ; no, your Vorship, I've moved into a more genteeler place, in St. Giles's ; I vould'nt live in the place not no longer ; vy my old voman vas werry nearly ruinated in the place, and vould have been, if I hadn't taken her out on it. Depend upon it, your Vorship, they are a bad set, and not fit for any respectable kracter to come among. Mr. WHITE—How is it that you and your wife are found in Westminster ?—Vy you see, a chap lives in Peter street vat I deals vith, and so I com'd to see him, and ve just took a small drop together out of friendship like ; but it puzzles me how it is that me and my old voman never comes here but ye are sure to be put in the vachus ; that shows vat a low place it is, don't it Poll ? Poll—Ve are sure to be booked by some of the low warment, and no mistake. Jack, you speak your mind well—go it. Mr. WHITE—But how comes it that you are both roll ing drunk about the streets ?—Don't say not nothing about that 'ere, and you just let me go back once more to St. Giles's, and blow my dicky if either me or my old vo man, and here she stands, ever sets our foots again in Vestminster, and ve vill both take an affidavy of it directly, von't us, Poll ? Poll—That ye vill, Jack, and no mis take ; you speak in such a manner as a man should speak : go it. - Defendant—And ye vill make affidavays of our krackters now, honest, and hard working and respectable like, von't us, Poll ? Poll—That ve vill ; supports ourselves vithout the parish, and no mistake. Go it, Jack. The inspector said that the two defendants were the worst customers in Westminster, and gave the trouble than any other ten co u pl es . Defandant—Her e ' s a p re tt y k racter f or a res pectable man ; but vat can any m an an d hi s w if e expec t wot comes into such a low, bla c k guar d p l ace ? police more Mr. WHITE should be very happy if they would keep ou• of Westminster, which they might leave as soon as possible on payment of ss. each. The money not being forthcoming, they were both locked up. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday William White, a waterman belonging to the Custom House upper stairs, was brought before Mr. Bal lantine, on a charge of demanding and taking more than his legal fare from Mr. John Dawkins, a gentleman residing in Princes -street, Barbican, and illegally detaining him on the River. Mr. Ballantine convicted the Defendant in a fine of 40s. and all the costs. The Defendant was committed to prison in default o payment. T.) 'HE P OOR LAW AMENDMENT BlLL.—Just as Mr. BRODEEIP was about to leave the seat, three poor widows, one of whom was accompanied by two children miserably clad, were introduced into the Justice room by Blady, an officer, who said they had been waiting two hours, and they complained that the overseers of the hamlet of Ratcliff, to which they belonged, had lately withdrawn their small al lowance. Mr. BuoDEßip:said the power of ordering the overseers to give relief to deserving objects was taken out of his hands, and he could not interfere. The widows said the overseers had told them that they were prohibited by the Board of Guardians, and the new Poor Law Bill from giving any more out-door relief, and their small allowances, which, with the labour of their own hands, enabled them to support their fatherless children, had been taken from them, and they should be compelled to do that they were anxious to avoid—go into the work house with their families. Mr. BRODERIP could not help it. This was not the first tale of the kind he had been told. He had nothing to do with it, and he could not interfere. The applicants departed, seemingly in great distress of mind. Their cases are as follow :—Susan na h J ames , widow, of Beer-street, Ratcliffe, with three children, aged three, five, and seven years. She was allowed 2s. a week by the hamlet since the death of her husband, wh o was a sawyer, and dropped down dead in a timber-yard. She goes out charing, and her scanty pitta n ce , which paid her rent, was stopped three weeks ago. Mati lda Higgins, the widow of a sailor who was killed at sea, with two children, one six and the other four years of age. She obtains a little employment in making up slops for . the ready-made clothes warehouses, but her earnings are (Jude inadequate to support herself and children. She received 2s. a week, which was discontinned last week, and resides in Philip street, St. George's. Ann Kennedy, the widow of a bal last-getter, living in Harris's-court, Ratcliffe ; her husband was drowned in the river six weeks ago, leaving her with a boy aged eight, and a girl aged eleven, unprovided for ; she has received two payments of 1 s, 6d, each from the hamlet and, to use her own words, has " been under the doctor's hands for some time." The outdoor poor of the large parish of St. George in the East were informed last week that their weekly allow ances would, in futnre, be discontinued. An accession of from three to four hundred inmates is expected in the work house, which is already crowded ; but many anticipate that the Commissioners of Poor Laws will order the building to be enlarged to meet the exigency. UNION-HALL. Yesterday John Greenwood, a man apparently in the last stage of destitution, was brought up on a charge of va grancy. The Magistrate committed him for fourteen days to hard labour, and directed that the expense of his keeping in gaol should be deducted from his money. THE PENTONVILLE MURDERS. CORONER'S INQUEST. The horrid tragedy which has occurred at Pentonville has excited the deepest sensation, i❑ consequence not only of the number of victims, but of the absence of apparently adequate motives for so fatal a resolution. The inquest, therefore, which was fixed for yesterday, was looked forward to with great interest, in the expectation that it would un ravel the mystery. During the whole of yesterday the greatest excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood, and crowds of people were gathered round the house where the melancholy event oc curred. At five o'clock in the afternoon Mr. Stirling, the coro ner, arrived at the Marquis of Cornwallis public-house, which is in the immediate vicinity, and the jury, sixteen in number, were impannelled and sworn, Mr. Gregory being their foreman. The jury were charged to inquire how Ni colas Steinburg, a woman, name unknown, and four infant children, came to their death, and they immediately retired to view the bodies.. On their return permission was given to one of the Jury to retire, on the ground of illness. Harriet Pearson, the servant was then questioned as to the names of the family, which were as follow :—The wo man Ellen ; the children—Henry, five and a half years ; John, four and a half ; Ellen, two and one month ; and Philip, eight months. The son of the deceased, by his wife, a young man of about 19, with his legal adviser, was then admitted. Harriet Pearson examined.—My name is Harriet Pear son. I live at No. 19, Edmund -street, Battle-bridge. I have been with the family twelve months as servant. I have never slept in the house since I have been there. I saw the family the night before last at half-past eight, and that is the last time I saw them alive. The four children were in bed at home, and the master and mistress in the kitchen. I put the youngest child to bed in the mother's bed, in the back-room, first-floor. The other children, all three, slept in the second-floor back-room. The two boys slept in one bed, and the girl in a cot by the side. I put all the child ren to bed myself, and they were in bed when I quitted the house. I left the man and woman in the kitchen. No angry words had passed between them whilst I was in the house. I quitted the house and went out at the street door by myself, and shut it after me. It is a common spring-lock. I heard nothing more of them during that night. Before I left the house I went and got a pint of beer and a guar tern of gin for them ; Mr. Steinburg asked the lady if she would not like to go to bed, he was sleepy ; she re plied, it was too soon ; this was before I went away ; the gentleman then asked the lady to give me a raspberry cake, which she did ; I took the cake ; my master said, if I didn't like it, I was to give it my sister ; I took it home ; my master then paid me my wages, and told me to go home ; my mistress told me to bring a clean apron and come at six o'clock in the morning, and I thought then he seemed to laugh a little to himself when she said that ; the last words said to me were good night ; they each said it three times ; the last words I heard between my master and mistress were about going to bed, which I have stated ; at a quar ter before six next morning I went to the house, and knocked and rang till nine ; I then went and fetched my mother, who came to the house with me ; I could get. no answer to my knocking ; my mother then went to the next door, and asked the lady if she had seen anything of the deceased during the night ; the lady said " No !" my mother then asked the lady to let her get over her wall to the back door, which she did ; my mother said if the door was opened she could go in ; but the door was fast ; it was fastened by the top bolt ; not being able to get in either at the front or back, my mother and 1 went away home ; my mother soon after sent my sister Sophy up to see if she could see anything ; Sophy staid a little and came home and said she could see no one ; after a short while she went a second time, and returned and said she thought the landlord and a policeman were going to.get in ; my mother and I went then to the next house, No. 18, and saw the back door was then open ; we got over the wall, and saw my master lying in the front kitchen ; the policeman in the house informed my mother that the lady and children were all killed ; I afterwards went and saw the children lying dead, and my mistress too ; I pointed out the children to the policeman, and then went home ; the baby and the lady were lying in the first-floor back-room ; the little girl Ellen, in the middle of the floor of the second floor back-room ; Henry, the eldest boy, was lying on the bed in the same room ; the other little boy, John, was in the shop —the second-floor front ; they were all dead ; all had their throats cut ; the little boy in the front room had his third finger cut off, and a piece of the top of his shoulder ; no weapon or knife was by the side of any of the children ; the little one in the shop had his throat very wide open ; I saw a knife in the kitchen, which was shown to m e ; the knife was under the side of my master's body; the knife was like a butcher's knife ; I never saw it before that I recollect. By the Jury--I left sometimes eight minutes to nine ; sometimes as late as ten. I went home at different times. There was nothing unusual in going home at half-past eight. The night before Sunday, I went home at eight. MY master came home that day between six and seven, (Monday night). I did not see that he had any parcel, except three cakes in his pocket. He was sober when he came home. INly master was at home on Sunday and Mon day. He paid me the wages that became due to me in Germany. Re -examined—I went to Germany with him on 21st of May ; we returned last Saturday morning. When I left there last, nobody else was in the house. I never knew my mastsr tipsy in my life. They seemed to live very happy, whilst they were in Germany. I never heard them quarrel. My mistress and all the children went with my master to Germany. My master quarrelled with his own sister, whilst h e was i n G erman y. The man that worked for him was not there on Monday. His name was Brunies. He was not discharged ; I believe he went away of his own accord on Sunday. I heard my master say, on Monday, that he had seen him tipsy in Whitechapel, and told him to come for his clothes on Monday night. I did not hear my master and his man quarrel. Brunies is the same man who was examined at Hatton-garden to-day. A cab came for Brunies on Sunday, but my master sent it away, and paid the cabman's expenses. Brunies dined there on Sun day, and was very comfortable, and went away about six or seven o'clock. They went to Germany, I believe, partly on pleasure. I saw no difference in his conduct to his lady during that journey, or in consequence of it. I saw no thing particular in my master on the morning when I last saw him alive. When my mistress told me to come the next morning, he leaned against the dresser and smiled to himself. My master had some business at Hamburgh. I believe it was about some whips he sold when he was there last. He had a great deal of money owing to him at Hamburg. I don't think he recovered it. During the time I was living with him he did not appear to be poor at all. My mistress told me about the business at Hamburg. I was told whilst we were on the journey there was an exe cution in the house ; I did not see any man in possession ; it was said that a lady, one of the lodgers, paid the execu tion ; lodgers were in the house when we left for Germany, they quitted the house on Monday ; the house was fur nished when we ca me back as when we left it ; the apart ments empty were the lodgers' ; my master was a very pas sionate gentleman ; I was present when he quarrelled with his sister, and he was very passionate ; my mi s t res s a l ways sa id he was a passionate man ; I have seen him in great passions with the children ; I have seen him pull them up by the hair of the head and by th e ears , an d th row t h em down ; m y mistress used to p u ll hi m away m ildl y , an d re monstrate with him, and say if they deserved beating, it should be elsewhere ; these are the only instances I know. (The knife was here produced to th e w it nes s ; it was a commo n butcher's knife, covered with blood, and blunted at the edge ; the name of Verinder, St. Paul's Churchyard, was on the blade.)—l never saw that knife before till I saw it in the kitchen ; the children were all in the same dress when dead as when I put them to bed ; John, who had his finger cut, is a passionate child ; John was put to bed with Henry in the second floor ba c k. I d on 't k now that my mas t e r was not married ; I never heard of any other lady who claimed to be his wife.—(This witness gave her evi dence in a most intelligent manner ; she is of a pleasing countenance, and apparently about fifteen years of age.) Lewis Cuthbert, of 7, Liverpool -street, New-road, coal merchant, examined. I am landlord of the house in which the deceased lived. On Tuesday morning, about 9 o'clock, I received intimation, from a person residing at No. 18, next door to the deceased, that he had reason to suppose the deceased had gone away from my house clandestinely , that the goods still remained on the premises, and he thought I had better look after my rent. I accordingly, at twelve on Tuesday, called at deceased's house, knocked and rang, but could get no answer. I then went to No. 18, and , after conversing with them as to the manner in which they supposed the man had left, it was proposed that I should get over the wall. I accordingly got over, and on putting my hands to the back-door, and pushing it briskly it opened. The upper bolt was apparently half fastened, for the hasp appeared forced. I believe I used more force than was necessary for merely opening. I was accompanied by Mr. Austin, who lives at No. 18. Upon opening the door, I called out to know if there was any one inside, but no an swer was made. Seeing the front kitchen door immediately before me, I pushed it open, and the first object I saw was the deceased Nicholas Steinburg, lying at full length on the kitchen floor, his head towards the front area door ; a considerable quantity of blood was about his clothes. He was undressed. His throat was cut. I imme diately retired back to the yard, and desired Mr. Austin to send for the police and parish authorities, and also for Mr. Dick, a next-door neighbour, and I remained till a po liceman and Mr. Dick came ; then the policeman went to the kitchen, and saw the first corpse ; the policeman and Mr. Dick then went up stairs with me ; I saw the children and woman all dead, as described by the former witness ; a surgeon also accompanied the policeman ; the evidence of the servant girl is precisely true as to the situation of the bodies ; I left the house in the possession of the police ; in the front kitchen I saw the knife produced lying on the ground by the deceased's thigh ; his hands were drawn up to his bosom, and he seemed to have committed the act standing, and to have moved a few paces before he fell ; I had not seen him previously for about four months ; on the 12th or 15th May, he came and paid his Lady-day rent ; he wanted it to stand over, but I objected to it ; my first knowledge of him was fourteen months ago, when he took the house of me, and gave a reference to a person in Blooms bury, who spoke of him, from twenty years' knowledge, as a quiet respectable man. By the Jury—ln the kitchen, by the deceased, was placed a table, with pens, ink, and paper, as if the deceased had intended to write something ; nothing was written ; there were pattering marks of blood, as of feet, about the kitchen ; the table, when I first went in, was not above a foot and a half from the deceased ; from dissentions between the de ceased and a former lodger of his, I should consider him a very violent irritable man, but he certainly was not addicted to liquor. Henry Verinder, 79, St. Paul's Churchyard, cutler, exa mined (the knife was produced to the witness)—l sold a knife answering this description on Monday to a man, a stranger to me, between eleven and half-past one ; the knife produced is my make, marked with my name ; I have seen the body of the deceased ; I cannot recognise him by the features to be the same man ; the man to whom I sold the knife was a man about my height, not so stout as myself, and younger ; in general appearance there was a likeness ; the knife is a common shop-knife, such as is used for cutting bacon, cheese, &c. ; I had very little conversation with him, and did not. observe any foreign accent ; I put up the knife in some whitey-brown paper, but he asked me to put it in some stronger paper, as he had some distance to carry it ; I put it in brown paper ; I did not sharpen the knife for him ; I should think the knife, when sold, was rather sharper than it is now ; I did not notice any confusion in his manner (a piece of paper was produced) ; that is not the outer wrapper ; I cannot speak- to that • this kind of knife I do not unfrequently sell • I have a knife booked ; the knife is new ; the purchaser of the knife came to my shop alone. Robert Plumridge, porter to the last witness, examined. —I saw the purchaser of the knife in the shop ; I have no doubt it was the deceased ; the knife sold him was just such a knife as that now produced, a sort of butcher's knife ; I have seen the body of the deceased ; I noticed that the man was rather Jew-looking, and a foreigner by his accent ; I have no doubt he was the same man ; I can't swear posi tively to his dress ; think he had on a blue coat and gilt buttons. The piece of paper produced is such as we use for the first wrapper, but it is ordinary paper. Alexander Ritchie, of Serle's Coffee-house, Carey-street, examined.—l am a licensed victualler. On Sunday morn ing last, about 11 o'clock, two foreigners came to my bar ; they appeared to be exceedingly excited, one in particular was extremely agitated ; the shorter one spoke better Eng lish than the other, and he asked in what part of London they were ; I told them ; they had two glasses of gin ; I understood, from the broken English that passed from the shorter one, that the other had just come from Germany ; I then made some inquiry from the shorter one, anl I was given to understand the tall -man had lost his trunk and all his property, and had just come from abroad ; the taller one then showed me a piece of paper, with the name and address faintly written on it, " Steinburg, South ampton-street, Pentonville." I then spoke to the shorter one, and I supposed, from his manner and address, that he must have been many years in London. I then said, I should suppose you know Southampton-street, but there are so many. He gave me to understand, by a nod, that he knew it, and spoke, I believe in the German language, to the other. By their gestures, I should think he was en deavouring to pacify him. The taller one flew into a very great passion, and called for paper. I brought a slip of paper, and lent him a pencil, and he wrote, in a good" bold English hand, the name of " Steinburg, 17, Southampton street, Pentonville," as if for me to show him the way. I then said to the shorter one, " Can't that gentleman speak English, I saw write so well ?" He told me not to trouble myself about that, but to show them the way. I went out with them (as my barman was shutting up) to the end of Carey-street, and directed them up Chancery-lane. The tallest was so excited that he took up unconsciously one of the waste vessels which we keep, and was going to drink it off. I left them in Carey-street, and was confined to my bed from Sunday night, but when I saw the paper this morning, I felt it my duty to come out. I have seen the deceased, and in stature I think he was like that shorter man. I could identify the clothes he wore were Ito see them. I can also identify, the taller man.—Some persons were introduced by a policeman, but the witness said the tall man was not in the room ; a very tall foreigner, ac companied by another as an interpreter, was then intro duced, whom the witness at once recognised. The short man had on a blue coat. The tall man gave his name as Franz Langer. Harriet Pearson recalled—l came to my master's house at seven o'clock ; Brunies opened the door to me ; my master and mistress were in bed ; he breakfasted at home ; he was a home ali day on Sunday ; I am sure he was at home all day ; he could not have gone out without my knowledge ; Franz Langer came to our house on Sunday ; he came for a parcel wrapped up in a blue handkerchief ; I don't know what it was ; he came over with us from Ger many ; my master took care of the parcel for him till he came on Sunday to receive it ; my master and he were quite friendly. Franz Langer was then called forward. The inter preter was brought from Whitecapel by the policeman, but refused to interpret without his expenses were paid. Much to his annoyance, however, his demand was .re fused, and a gentleman in the room came forward, and vo lunteered to act as interpreter. The witness and his in terpreter were then sworn. 'Witness deposed, I arrived in England early on Saturday morning with Mr. Steinburg and his family ; on Sunday I went out with a little person who lodged in the same house to show him the way to Mr. Steinburg's ; we called at different houses to inquire the road, amongst others, at two public-house* ; Mr. Stein burg gave him his direction on board the ship, but he could not make it out without assistance ; the man who accom panied witness did not come from Germany with witness ; he works in a sugar-house, and only came with witness to point out the way ; this person who showed witness the way, advised him to get his parcel as quick as possible from Mr. Steinburg, as Mr. Steinburg was a swindler ; he did not know Mr. Steinburg personally, but merely heard that re port ; he accompanied witness to Mr. Steinburg's house, and waited in the passage whilst witness went down into the kitchen to get the parcel ; witness got all his pro perty from Mr. Steinburg ; Steinburg came to the King of Prussia, Lambeth-street, between four and five o'clock on Monday ; witness saw him there ; Steinburg went away, about five, and promised to call the following even ing ; he was perfectly sober ; Steinburg stated to witness that he was in great distress of mind, as he had pro mised to get witness a situation, in consequence of which witness lent deceased some money ; the deceased took three sovereigns out of his pocket, and paid one to the witness, and inquired if he could trust the landlord of the house with the other two, for the purpose of handing them to Brunies ; deceased threw himself into all sorts of atti tudes, and said he was ruined ; w itness went upstairs to bed, being ill ; deceased followed him up, and said he wou ld rather give the two sovereigns to Brunies himself ; witness asked the deceased if he was mad, and deceased said he was almost mad, and stamped about the room with his feet ; during the voyage witness thought deceased a l most i nsane, but attributed it to the illness of his wife a n d c hild , w h o we re very ill in the cabin ; witness heard deceased com plain during the voyage of having lost a law-suit, which had cost him 2001. ; on the suggestion o f one o f t h e J ury, witness said that it was after the knife was bought that he saw distinctly in the breast-pocket o f th e d ecease d, w h en he took out his pocket-book, a long round paper parcel, just such as that knife wrapp e d up wou ld ma k e ; i n t h e opinion of witness, the deceased was perfectly mad Nicholas Samuel Edward Steinburg, of No. 7, Burton crescent examined ; The deceased was my father ; he was between 45 and 50 years of age ; I have not seen him for about two years ; I have seen his dead body, and that of Ellen Lefevre, who lived with him ; I do not know the children ; Ellen Lefevre had been servant to the family ; my father and m o th er se p ara t e d a b ou t s even or eight years ago, which separation took place in consequence of that im proper intimacy ; my father was of a very irritable and pas sionate disposition, and every circumstance of distress agi ted and affected his mind ; I am the only child of the mar riage ; my father used me severely, and beat me often, but did not pull me by the hair ; he used my mother very ill. struck her, and beat her once almost to death. Some discussion then took place as to the propriety of examining Mr. Brunies ; but the Coroner and Jury agree ing perfectly that riot the slightest suspicion of the murder could be cast upon him, he was called. Borkhart Brunies, of 17, Storey-street, corner of Gray street, Commercial-road, whip-maker, examined -:—I hav e known deceased two years. I saw him on last Mondel night. He called on me between five and six o'clock. He' said, " Will you come down and fetch your clothes, and I will give you some money ?—come about eight o'clock to night." I said, " I can't be with you by eight ;" and he said, " Oh, you must not be much later," and he looked very pleased, laughed, and was very friendly. He "I quite sober. He had no other business with me. I told my landlord that I suspected from his looking so pleased, that if I went down he would have an officer to take me for neglecting my work.—(One of the jury—" You may cow gratulate yourself that your throat is whole.") About nine o'clock I went down there, and saw a light in the kitchen and, I thought, in the drawing-room. I would not go le, but left an old umbrella of my master's, which .I had,next door, at No. 18, for him. His general conduct to his chil dren was kind, but he beat them when they deserved When I heard the statement of the occurrence, I Aou ld not believe it.' I did not think it possible. By the Jury—l never received the two so vereiges• On f Saturday deceased complained to him of the treavneet his sister, who wanted him over to Germany, and cherge' him for board and lodging after he had lost his law Olt' I never saw the knife produced till this evening.' The Coroner then briefly summed up, and charge d di e, Jury to consider whether there was sufficient proofs of insanity to warrant them in returning such a verdict ; as the Jury retired. After an absence of about a quarter of an hour, the returned, minus one of their members, who had been at tacked by a fit of epilepsy, with the following verdiPtl which the chairman delivered, prefacing it with a statement of the regret of the Jury, for the sake of surviving Perjet that they could not come to a different conclusion—" That Nicholas Steinburg did ARTFULLY MURDER Ellen Lefevrer Henry Steinburg, John Steinburg, Ellen Steinburg, an d Philip Steinburg ; and a verdict of Feb de se agile" Nicholas Steinburg." The Jury-room was literally besieged by a mob duri4 the investigation, and much interruption and confusion vr as thereby occasioned. The proceedings did not termiel' to till half-past eleven o'clock.
