Cresswell, and a Common Jury.) HARRIS V. HARRIS AND BOND. This was a suit instituted by the husband, a civil engineer and draughtsman, for a divorce on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, to which denial of the adultery and cruelty were pleaded. Mr. Brett, Q C., and Dr. Spinks were counsel for the petitioner ; and Dr. Wambey appeared for the respondents. From the evidence it appeared that the parties, a fter cohabiting for some years, married, and lived t og ether for a considerable time, but had no chil dren. Until 1857 there was no imputation of mis conduct on the part of the respondent; but in the ear ly part of that year the parties agreed to sepa rate, the husband stipulating to allow £1 Is. a week. Up to this period they lived in London, and the respondent attended to the business of a Berlin wool shop, which her husband Lad opened in the neighbourhood of Kentish Town. When the deed of separation had been executed, the re spondent went to live at Lancaster, and there became acquainted with a man named Bradley, and, in company with him, took up her residence at a public house situated in the moors of Lanca shire. Subsequently she formed an intimacy with the co-respondent, who was a married man, but separated from his wife, and they lived together in a cottage in the neighbourhood for upwards of 12 months. It was suggested on the part of the re• spondent that as there were two others lodging with her in the cottage the co-respondent merely occu pied the same relation towards her, and witnesses were called who deposed to the alleged cruelty by the petitioner. It appeared also that the petitioner accused his wife of intemperance, and of pawning goods out of the shop to satisfy her unfortunate propensity. The .jury found a verdict that the adultery alleged had taken place, and that the petitioner was not guilty of the cruelty pleaded, and The Court pronounced a decree nisi with costs. had not on the Thursday seen the prisoner White lock at his house with Margaret Redfearn, and if she had not threatened to leave his service. The prosecutor replied that, in consequence of what he then saw, he told her sh e wou ld h ave to leave his Ns service hen his wife returned. On re-examina-' tion by Mr. Foster it appeared that he returned' home on Thursday morning, the 21st of February, about nine o'clock, and hearing voices in his study he ran upstairs there, thinking his wife had re= turned home, she being absent on a visit, and he there saw Margaret Redfearn sitting on the couch with her dress very much disordered, and the pri soner near her with the braces of his trousers loosed ; and he then told her that she should leave his service as soon as his wife returned. This was the case for the prosecution. Margaret Redfearn was then called. She was a comely-looking girl of 19, neatly dressed, and ap peared of superior station to a servant. She swore that on the sth of January, when Mrs. Armstrong was from home, the prosecutor came into her bed room and committed a rape upon her. Next morn ing she said she would expose him. He said if she did he would have to leave the country. Mr. Arm strong had attempted to commit another assault on her on the night of the 22d of February. She sent for the prisoner and told him what had taken place. The prisoner then, at her request, wrote a letter to the prosecutor, and after it was written she read it over, took it to the chapel, and gave it to John Robinson, who gave it to Mr. Armstrong. Wit ness denied that, although on the return of her master from the country he found her-and the pri soner in his study, they were in an unseemly posi tion. The prisoner, she said, had come to see her master about some books, and when her master came in he was reading. The prosecutor did not then discharge her, nor did he say anything about it. The prisoner remained in the house with the prosecutor about an hour and they smoked their pipes together. [Prosecutor had denied this.] Pri soner, on the day after, called at the prosecutor's house, and witness went upstairs and told her master that he had called. The prosecutor refused to see him. Witness, having been cross-examined by Mr. Foster, adhered to her statement. Mr. Davison called Mr. Hodgson, attorney, who spoke to the excellent character of the pri soner, who hid been his clerk for five years. Mr. Waters, chief constable of Hartlepool, also spoke to the prisoner's character. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Foster, and it was elicited from him that Margaret Red fearn had told him on the 25th of February, when stating her charge against the prosecutor, that the prisoner had twice by force had possession of her person ; the last time was in her bedroom on the n ight of the 22d of February, and the first occasion a fortnight or three weeks before. This the witness Redfearn had denied on her cross-examination. This was the case for the defence. The jury then retired, and after an absence of upwards of an hour brought in a verdict of Guilty, but strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy. The prisoner was ordered to be put down till this morning, and his lordship said he would consider what sentence he ought to pass. This morning the prisoner was placed in the dock to receive sentence. His lordship, after recapitulating the charge against him, said he had sent this letter, imputing to a minister of the Gospel that he had committed an offence of the greatest enormity, with the intent to extort money, and, as the jury had found, with out any reasonable or probable cause. Had the jury not coupled with their verdict a recommendation of mercy, on account of his previous good character, he should have sentenced him, for so heinous an offence, to penal servitude; but, taking that recom mendation into consideration, the sentence of the Court was that he had imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 18 calendar menthe. The prisoner seemed almost stupefied on hearing his sentence. WESTERN CIRCUIT.--DORCHESTER, March 8. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Willes.) Helen Hutchings was indicted for the wilful murder of her female infant child at Bridport. Mr. Stock prosecuted, and Mr. H. T. Cole de fended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was in the service of Mr. Samuel Bowden Gundry, a magistrate of the county, residing at Bridport. His family con sisted of his two sons and the servants. On Sun ,.day, the 4th of November last, the prisoner, who was the cook, came down stairs as usual. She com plained of illness, and was obliged to go to bed,and Mr. Gundry tent for Mr. Cory, a surgeon of the town. Mr. Cory came, and having seen her, he pronounced that she was in the family way. A woman named Mary Ann Balston also came. After that the prisoner's sister came, and then the sister and the maid-servant went up to the prisoner, who was like a mad woman and called out, " Oh, Mrs. Balston I have had a child, and it is in the closet." They asked her if she had done anything to it, and she said they would find it a little cut. Mr. Cory came again, and he went to the closet and brought out a parcel in a carpet covering. Upon opening it the body of a child was found. It had cuts about the head. Mr. Cory said, " Now for the instru ment." She said, "It's on the table.'' There was a razor on the table on which was fresh blood. That razor had been in the room of Mr. Sidney Gundry. The prisoner had used that razor to cut her corns with. Mr. Cory, the surgeon, stated that he was coroner for the county. He was sent for to Mr. Gundry's. He went there. He saw the prisoner in bed, com plaining of pain. He asked her if she was pregnant. She said, No; she was unwell." He partially exa mined her, and told her she was pregnant, and asked if anything had passed. She said " No, " and he told her she would mi sc a rr y. She begged him not to tell her master. As she denied her pregnancy he told her the next day would show. He was oiled again about 9at night. Mrs. Balaton told him something, and he went to the closet and opened it, and found the full grown body of a child. There was a cut on the mouth and on each side of the neck. He then asked where the instrument was, and some one said on the table. There was a razor on the table, with wet blood on it. He sent for the police, and gave the prisoner in charge. He handed the razor to Stillman, the policeman. He examined the prisoner, and found she had been recently delivered. The body weighed 71b. The umbilical .cord was cut but not tied. The angle of the lower jaw was cnt out; the wound extended from ear to ear. A slice of the tongue was cut off evidently by a sharp instrument. There was a wound on the left side of the neck, dividing all the arteries ; the chest was laid open, and a small por tion of the lungs protruded. The lungs werelally inflated and filled the cavity of the chest. They fisted in water; the heart was healthy, but empty of blood. He believed the child was born alive. The wounds were sufficient to cause death, and he believed the child died from the injuries. There was a bucket under the prisoner's bed, in which was the afterbirth. He did not hold out any promise or threat ; he merely said she had better tell him who was the father of the child. As he heard her exclaiming he said, 66 You had better not say any thing, as it may be used against you." Cross examined—l had first told her she had better tell me all about it, and then I would inter cede with :her master. I might have said, " Hem is a sergeant of police come to take you in charge; you need not say anything, but if you do it may be used against you." Mr. Cole upon this submitted that the statement made by the prisoner could not be given in evidence. The Judge said if it had reference only to col lateral matters it would be receivable. Mr. Stock submitted that the inducement had only reference to the father of the child. Mr. Cole urged that the statement of the surgeon was to tell him " all about it," and that extended to the whole question. And it must be recollected that the witness was a magistrate and coroner for the county, and he had sent for the policeman, and had given her in charge. There was a distinct promise. The Judge said the principle was laid down by Mr. Best in his book ; it mast be a promise or threat in respect of the matter for which the prisoner was t r ied. The promise had reference to the question of who was father of the child. The witness at the time was acting as a surgeon and not as coroner. He did not think this was a threat or promise in respect of this charge. On the second occasion it would have been better if no statement of the pri soner hal been taken. What she said should not have been listened to, but this was not a promise or a threat, and therefore the statement could not be excluded. Examination continued—The prisoner said " Oh, ' Mr. Cory, I did it to save others." At that time she much agitated. She was in posses sion w no a f a y h v e e r r senses, but very highly excited. Cross-examined—lt appeared to have been a pre tracted labour. Women sometimes became in a frantic state, and did not know what they were about. The hydrostatic test had been exploded. The child might breathe before it was born. The Judge upon this wished to have the opinion of the other surgeon who was called in. Mr. Hounsell—l am a surgeon, and have been so, since 181.7. I made an examination of the body of this child. The wounds were the cause of death. If the child had been born dead the bleeding would have been less, because as long as the child lived the arteries would have been active. I should have thought the child was alive at the time, but how long it lived I cannot say. The Judge then said he was anxious to have the evidence of the second surgeon upon this point. There could be no doubt about the prisoner being guilty of concealing the birth of the child, but to make her guilty of murder there must be proof that the 'child had been completely born alive. In the case of a head delivery the child would have breathed before its actual birth. He thought the charge of murder negatived, and the case ought at once to stop. Tho jury acquitted the prisoner of the murder, but found her guilty of the concealment of the birth. The Judge then told the prisoner that whether she was guilty of the higher offence was a question between herself and Almighty God, but by law she was entitled to an acquittal. It was, however, a bad case of concealment, and she must be severely punished. She must be sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment with hard labour. The prisoner, a prepossessing young woman, who had suffered most fearfully during the trial, was removed from the court in a fainting state. OXFORD CIRCUIT.-WORCESTER, MARCH 8. CIVIL COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Wilde and Common Juries.) The first cause in the list .was an undefended ejectment. TURNER V. NICOLLS. Mr. Sergeant Pigott and Mr. H. James appeared for the plamtiff; and Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. Powell for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action, J. Turner, was a farmer living at Woodside Farm, Chadsley Corbett, and he brought the present action against the de fendant, James Nicholls, the younger, to recover damages for the seduction of his (the plaintiff's) daughter. The defendant pleaded the general issue. The young woman who was th e su bj ec t o f th e action stated that she was about 20 years of age, and lived with her father and mother at Woodside Farm, at Chadsley Corbett. The defendant was a young man of about the same age, and he lived with his brother, who farmed several hundred acres of land, and resided about a quarter of a mile from the plaintiff's house. According to the girl's statement the defendant had several times seen her at her father's house and kissed her; but on the evening of the 9th of May, 1860, he met her on her return home from the meeting of a Dorcas Society, and after accompanying her across three fields, attempted to take " undecent" liberties with her. The girl resisted, and after 10 minutes he left her, and she went home. On Fri day morning, the 25th of May, the plaintiff's father and mother went out, according to their custom, to Stourbridge Market, and the *girl was left alone in the house. At about ten o'clock in the morning the defendant came with a gun on his shoulder, and knocked at the back door. The young woman opened the door, and he went in and kissed her, and began talking about some ferrets. The girl was standing by the window washing up the breakfast things, and the defendant went up to her and kissed her, and put his hands round her waist. The girl told him to take his hands off till she had finished the breakfast things. The defendant did so, and, as she was drying her hands, he caught hold of her, and effected his pur pose, against her will, and then left, with his dog and gun. The defendant only called at the house once after that. The young woman never said anything to anyone of what had occurred, but in the month of October she went to her uncle's, and on the 11th of January she was prematurely delivered of a child, which she positively swore was the defendant's. The young woman, who gave her evidence in a very free and outspoken manner, was cross•examined as to certain acts of familiarity which, it was suggested, she had allowed on the part of one of her father's farm servants, but she denied it all. The girl's evidence as to the defend ant's visits at the plaintiff's house before the 25th of May and his discontinuance of his visits after that day was corroborated by other witnesses. The defendant was called as a witness, and ad mitted that he had been on terms of familiarity with the y ming woman, and had been in the habit of kissing her, but he denied that he had ever taken any indecent liberties with her. lic denied that he was at the plaintiff's house on the 25th of May, but he admitted that he was there on one Friday, about the same time, when all the cir cumstances occurred to which the young woman had spoken, except that he had not been so inti mate with her. Two men, who were now in the employ of the defendant's brother, were also exa mined, and spoke to acts of familiarity which they said they had witnessed between the young woman and one of the farm servants. Mr. Baron Wilde having summed up the evi dence with great care, The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff,— Damages, £lOO. NEWTON V. NEWTON AND COOKE. This was the petition of James Simeon Newton, an estate agent, at Manchester, praying for a di vorce by reason of his wife's adultery with the co respondent, a commercial traveller, who also resided in Manchester. The respondent did not appear, but the co-respondent denied the adultery, and pleaded further that prior to the time when the alleged intercourse took place the respondent had prostituted herself with other men, of which the petitioner was cognisant and connived at, and that he had treated her with great cruelty. Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and another learned gen tleman were counsel for the petitioner, and Mr. Brett, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks for the co-respondent. The evidence for the petitioner was to the effect that he had married the respondent in 1855, and that they cohabited till 1858, but had no children. lii the April of the latter year the alleged criminal intercourse commenced, and the respondent took a small house in Lower Chatham-street, Shelford road, near Manchester, and subsequently in another suburb, where she was visited by the co-respon dent. The evidence in support of the adultery as conclusive, and one of the witnesses stated that the respondent expressed to her her preference of Cooke to her husband. For the defence some acts of great violence on the part of the petitioner were deposed to. The jury found a verdict for the petitioner, with one farthing damages, and added that though he had been guilty of acts of ill-treatment, his con duct was not of a character to force the respondent into acts of adultery as was pleaded. Dr. Phillimore applied for an immediate decree, which the learned judge refused, and commented on the brutal conduct of the petitioner, which had been proved in evidence. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—DURHAM, March 7. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Hill.) John Whitelock, a solicitor's clerk of respectable appearance, was indicted for sending a threatening letter to the Rev. John Armstrong of Hartlepool, on the 22d of February last, threatening to accuse him of a rape upon his servant girl, Margaret Red fearn, without reasonable or probable cause, with intent to extort money. A second count, framed on a subsequent statute, charged the prisoner with the same offence, without the allegation that it was " without reasonable and probable cause." Mr. Campbell Foster and Mr. Blackwell ap peared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Davison defended the prisoner. It appeared from the opening statement of the learned counsel for the prosecution that the charges in the indictment were framed on two statutes, one of which was passed in the reign of George IV., and the other in th e re i gn o f h er p resen t M a j es ty, which made it a felony for any person to write a letter to another person charging him with a crime punishable by transportation, with an intent to extort money. The prisoner was a, clerk in the em ployment of Messrs. Hodgson and Todd, solicitors, of Hartlepool, and had for several years filled that office. The prosecutor is the Rev. J. Armstrong, and is minister to a Primitive Methodist congregation at Hartlepool. His congregation numbered up wards of 1,000 inhabitants of Hartlepool and the adjoining populous town of Middleborough. On the 22d of February he was on duty in his vestry between 8 and 9 o'clock in the evening, and while there John Robinson, a member of the congrega tion, handed him a letter which had been put into his hands by Margaret Redfearn. Prosecutor im mediately opened and read the letter, and was per fectly astonished with its contents. The letter was dated the 22d of February, and was signed "James Whitelock," and was as follows : " Hartlepool, Feb. 22, 1861. " Sir, —My whole nature has been almost irreparably shaken by Margaret's recital of your cruel, dastardly, and most filthy behaviour to her on a recent night. To think of a rape having been committed by you, a minister of the Gospel—(pshaw, a wolf in sheep's clothing) —upon a poor girl who was so unfortunate as to enter your service, makes the blood curdle within my veins. Such an awful occur rence shall not go unpunished, as you will shortly see, al though, before taking any further steps in the matter, I shall give you time to ~ ?ffer any adequate monetary com pensation to the poor thing whose life-long prospects you have so cruelly blighted.—ln haste, yours, &c., " JAMES WIIITELOCK, " Mr. Armstrong, Hartlepool." The prosecutor having been sworn proved the facts stated in the opening address of the learned counsel for the prosecution, and then pledged his oath that the statement contained in the letter was wholly false and groundless. lie had never in his life taken any the slightest liberty with Margaret Redfearn, or treated her in any way un becoming his position in relation to her, The prosecutor was closely cross-examined as to the charges which had been made against him in the letter. He denied positively that he had on the sth of January, his wife being from home, gone into his servant's bedroom and committed a rape upon her, or that he had taken any liberty with her whatever. He denied that he had on Friday night, the 22d of February—the very night that he had received the letter—attempted, after dinner, to re peat the offence by pulling Margaret Redfearn back on the conch by the shoulders, when she struggled and got away from him, his wife being from home at the time. He was then "eked if he POLICE INTELLIGENCE—March 6. GUILDHALL.—A TERPSICHOREAN APPREN TICE, —Frederick Humphreys was summoned, as an apprentice, for unlawfully absenting himself from his work without his master's permission. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Bonnewell, a wood type cutter and printer's joiner, that the de fendant, whose time of apprenticeship was nearly out, had been brought four times before the magis trate for misconduct, and each time dismissed with a caution ; but in the present instance it was shown that he had absented himself from his master's em ployment for days together without any lawful excuse, and Mr. Bonnewell stated he was bound by the indentures to pay defendant 15s. per week, and that if he (defendant) chose to work well he could earn for his master as much as £2 2s. per week. He did at one time arrange to pay him half his earn ings; but that arrangement had the effect of de priving the magistrate of the power to punish de fendant for his misconduct, and he (the master) therefore reduced the remuneration to the exact amount named in the indentures. The defendant complained that his master had not taught the printer's joining business and the art of drawing the letters on the wood, and added, " he could not teach him, as it was not in him." Alderman Hale said the indentures only referred to the wood type cutting. Mr. Bonnewell said the fact was, there was another branch of business which the defendant found more profitable, and produced a card, 13' which it appeared that he had announced a full dress ball, to be given at the St. Agnes Hall, on March 12, for his own benefit, in the name of " F. Payne." To commence at eight o'clock in the even ing, and terminate at four in the morning. Alderman Hale said if the defendant passed his nights in figuring " on the light fantastic toe," he could not be worth much for business in the day time. It was quite clear he had set his master at defiance, and he must therefore teach him he could not do so with impunity. At all events he would take care that his patrons should not have the pleasure of his company at the ball. He had the power of committing the defendant to prison for three months, with hard labour, but he thought seven days would prove a sufficiently salutary les son to him, and he hoped he would profit by it. The defendant was accordingly committed to prison for seven days, with hard labour. LAMBETH.—ALLEGED POISONING IN WAL WGRTH.—EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—lnspector Dann applied to the Hon, G. C. Norton for a warrant for the apprehension of a retired farmer, residing in the county of Kent, on a charge of having caused the death of Mrs. Caroline Spain, aged 31, by ad ministering some narcotic poison to her. Mr. Dann stated that from inquiries he had made he learned that the deceased had been mar• ried eight years ago to Mr. Joseph Spain, at pre sent and for some years an inmate of Bethlehem Hospital, and that she has resided during the, absence of her husband at 6, Victoria-terrace, Royal road, Walworth, in apparent comfort, on the pro perty of her husband. On the day before, at about one o'clock, the person named by the officer called on her, and after some conversation she put on her bonnet and both left the house together. At three o'clock a cab drove up to the door, and from it Mrs. Spain was carried into the house in a state of insen sibility, and placed on the sofa, and as soon as this was done he said she had been ill in an omnibus, and desired them to bathe her temples with some vinegar, and said he had no doubt she would soon recover. He then said he had not a moment to stop, that he must hurry to Fenchurch - stree t, and that if he missed the train he should have to walk 20 miles. The deceased not exhi biti ng any signs of recovery, her niece, who Lye ' d with her, sent for v , ..plucE 4D, STAMPED, 51). Mr. Nott, a medical gentleman in the neighbour- hood, and he promptly attended. On seeing the deceased Mr. Nott at once pronounced her to be labouring under the effects of narcotic poison, and all his efforts to relieve and restore her to con sciousness proved unavailing. She continued in a state of stupor till about 8 o'clock, vben she died. Mr. Norton thought it would be much more satis factory to have the statement on oath of the niece; of the deceased before granting the warrant. Mr. Dann said he should soon have her in attend a,nce, and in about half an hour he brought her to the court. When sworn she gave the name of Mary Ann Matilda Smith, and corroborated the above state_ ment. When the person saw her aunt both went into the kitchen together. They co►:versed there for some little time, and she heard him say to her aunt, " You will have to go with me to Mr. Lusk to produce some pawn tickets, and those papers, too, you will have to produce," and he then asked her for a pen and ink. Her aunt said, "I can't find any paper," and he said, " Never mind the paper, I have got some myself." They then left thehouse together, and at that time her aunt was quite well. She did not hear any angry words pass between them while in cobversation. Mr. Dann, in addition, said he was prepared, or should be on another occasion, to give ample proof of motive, and Mr. Norton granted the warrant as requested. MARYLESONE.—ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.— Mary Ann Rice, 17, described as a servant, was placed at the bar, charged with robbing her mis tress, Mrs. Graybrook, residing at 8, Eaton-terrace, St. John's-wood, of four sovereigns. Prosecutrix deposed that the prisoner mul been in her employ for a week. On her return from the doctor's during the morning she was met at the street' door by the prisoner in a great state of excitement, exclaiming that some one had heen in and robbed the place. Witness found the'closet in which she kept all the linen in great confusion, and a little box, in which she had shortly before placed four sovereigns on the floor, open. Prisoner could not tell her who had been in, and said she knew nothing about it. A policeman who was sent for found one sovereign under the wardrobe. Mr. Mansfield—Was there any one else in the house ? _ _ Prosccutrix—Only the wife of Dr. Bateman, and she was in the drawing-room. Prisoner—She says there were four in the box. There were only two. In reply to his worship, prisoner said she was only guilty of stealing two sovereigns. The magistrate ordered her to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months. THAMES.—THE NEW MAGISTRATE.IIIr. Elliott, of the Lambeth Police•court, officiated at this court for Mr. Selfe, and after the disposal of the night charges, remands, and other cases, intro duced Mr. Edmund Humphrey Woolrych, standing counsel to the Metropolitan Board of Works, who has practised on the Oxford Circuit, and at the common law bar for 21 years, having been called to the bar of the Middle Temple on the 22d of November, 1839. Mr. Elliott said he had great pleasure in introducing Mr. Woolrych, the newly appointed magistrate, in place of Mr. Yardley, who had been transferred to the Marylebene Police court in succession to the late Mr. Seeker. The legal gentlemen at the table of the court rose and congratulated Mr. Woolrych on his appointment, as did also the officers of the court. Mr. Woolrych bowed his acknowledgments, and immediately afterwards took his seat on the bench, and commenced his magisterial labours. THE NEW ME7ROPOLITAN MEAT- MARKET. On T laursday the Markets' Improvement Committee of the Corporation of London met at Guildhall, and were engaged for a considerable time in settling the ground plan of the proposed meat, poultry, and provision market to be erected in Smithfield, under the authority of the Act of Parliament passed last session, and at the expense of the corporation At first the meat salesmen of New gate-market, which the new market is intended to supersede,evinced some aversion to the proposal for removing them and their business to a different locality, but the- necessity for the change in the public interest is so pressing, having regard to the continual expansion of the metropolis and to the utter inadequacy of the existing market in Newgate, " cribb'd, cabined and confined" as it is, to the demands of the present day, they have latterly shown a disposition to adapt their interests to those demands, and to fall in with the views of the corporation,provided the latter will indemnify them against loss in respect of the unex pired terms of the leases they hold of property in the present market. Some, on the other hand, more generous than the rest, and probably more far seeing, are disposed to forego all advantage of that kind, believing that their individual interests in the new market will be coincident with those of the public, and are content to stipulate only for a favourable position being assigned them in the new locality for carrying on their business. As a condition, precedent to the erection of the new market, the corporation has now a bill before Parliament " to abolish and dismarket Newgate. market, and to facilitate the removal of shambles and slaughter-houses, and other nuisances and obstructions in its vicinity, and to authorise the erection of dwelling-houses, shops, or other buildings on the site thereof, and for other pur poses." This Bill has been referred to a select committee, composed of Mr. Hope (chairman), Mr. Packe, Lord Henley, Mr. Bond, and Mr. Hennessy, and they will meet for the first time on Tuesday. The Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, who have a pecuniary interest in the continuance of the present market, and also the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, have petitioned against the bill, but hopes are entertained by the corporation, who have been in negotiation with them through a committee, that their opposition may be withdrawn. The bill pro vides for the discontinuance of Newgate-market so soon as the Metropolitan Meat and Poultry Market is opened, and empowers the Court of Corn- ' mon Council to remove all buildings now standing upon the site of Newgate-market, to level and clear the ground, to purchase subsisting leases, and then to let the site on building leases. It also empowers the Common Council, if necessary, to borrow for the purposes of the bill a sum not exceeding £45,000, and, in certain events, to alter the tolls to be levied on meat and provisions coming into the new market for sale. The Markets Improvement Committee, at the conclusion of the meeting, dined together at the Albion, in Aldersgate-street, and took occasion through the Lord Mayor, whom they had invited, to present Mr. H. Lowman Taylor, their chairman for upwards of 11 years, with a silver salver of the value of about £4O, in token of their sense of the " ability, sound judgment, and discretion displayed by him during their deliberations upon the impor tant business referred to them by the Court of Com mon Council, and for his successful exertions in carrying out their views, by which he had entitled himself to the esteem of his colleagues." Baron Piazzi has been arrested at Naples for having posted up seditious placards in the streets.
