CLUBS IN RUSSIA.-There are various clubs in St. Petersburgh, a very great comfort for the traveller, where he will find every thing reasonable and good, and every body kind and attentive. In the German club, on the English quay, a stranger may be admitted for a month, the gentleman recommending him becoming responsible for his behaviour and his debts. In the Eng lish club, en the Moskowa, strangers are only admitted by the day. From its name one would imagine that our countrymen predominated as to numbers, but the club has merely the name; I do not believe they muster more than twelve Englishmen at the most, the rest being Russians. Of course, in a large capital like St. Petersburg!), there is no want of plays, operas, &c. They have them of all sorts : a Russian, Italian, and G ratan opera, French plays, rope-dancers, &c. ; but I was mostly surprised at seeing numbers of females walking bareheaded during the evening, when the cold was excessive, and standing look ing idly at the theatres with the thermometer at twenty degrees below zero. They seemed quite indifferent to the cold, although they were half covered with icicles.— Ancedotes of Russia in the New Anithly, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 2, 1830. OLD BAILEY, JUNE 1. Thomas Crockford, aged 35, was indicted for feloniously assaulting Elizabeth Lloyd, a child under ten years of age, and Sarah Reed, aged 19, with aiding and assisting in the perpetration of the felony.. The prosecutrix resided with her parents in Beth nal-green. She knew the prisoner Crockford ; the other prisoner, Sarah Reed, lived in the neighbour hood of her parents. On Monday three weeks she saw the prisoner, Sarah Reed, standing opposite her residence, and she called witness over and asked her would she take a walk with her. Witness con sented, and the prisoner Crockford followed them towards the Crown and Anchor public-house. The prisoner Crockford then took her into a house, and offered the landlady sixpence, but she turned both of them away. The prisoners then took her into Lamb's-fields, a distance of about two miles, where there were some empty houses; the prisoner Crock ford then threw witness down, and Reed stood by laughing.—(The witness here detailed the particu lars of the assault, which are unfit for publication.) On her cross-examination by Mr. C. PHILLIPS, the witness contradicted herself in repeated instances, and made several admissions, which proved that although so young, improprieties of the grossest de scription had taken place between her and some boys in the neighbourhood. Mr. James Lake, a surgeon, examined the person of the prosecutrix. The appearances that he found might have been occasioned by natural causes, or by violence. Sarah Small, the mother of the child, stated that the prosecutrix was ten years of age on the 24th of May. On the day named in the indictment she came home, but did not complain of any thing hav ing happened to her; but a week after, in conse quence of some suspicions, witness examined her person, and she questioned her as to what had hap pened, when she told her that a man named Jem had done it. Witness took her to a doctor's, and on their return the prisoner was standing at his door, and the prosecutrix then pointed him out as the man who had ill-used her. Witness told him what the prosecutrix had stated, and asked him why he had ill-used her child, and he said he would speak to to her about it, and he followed her into her house, and he then begged she would say nothing about it. They then went out and drank together, and the prisoner slipped a rag into her hand ; she opened it when she got home, and found it contained fire sovereigns. The prisoner's wife then came and pleaded very hard for him, and a feeling for her sex induced witness to promise not to prosecute. She took the money innocently, and not for gain. She kept it three days and then sent for a police officer, who took the male prisoner into custody. The pri soner afterwards gave her five sovereigns more. The police-man compelled her to prosecute. Cross-examined.—She did not tell the police-man that he might get money too. She supped and drank with the male prisoner, after making the charge against him. After the male prisoner gave her the second five sovereigns, they went to the play together. Never said the prosecutrix had ad mitted the male prisoner was not the man who ill treated her. Witness put her mark to a paper at the Hospital. The paper was here put in and read. It ran as follows :—" Mrs. Small declares that Mr. Crockford was not the man who ruined her daughter, as she has admitted in her own words." Mr. BARON VAUGHAN here said, after this evi dence, the prosecution could not be entertained for another moment. The evidence of both mother and daughter was so scandalous and infamous that no reliance could be placed on it; and under those cir cumstances the Jury would do be to acquit the prisoners. The Jury accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoners were then removed from the bar. John Wynne, a respectable-looking young man, was indicted for that he, being a servant to John Andrews, did feloniously embezzle, secrete, and steal two half-crowns, his monies and property. The prosecutor having deposed to the fact of some money having been marked, and that he is a leatherseller, and the prisoner his assistant, he was subjected to one of the most rigid cross-examina tions we have heard for some time, which terminated in the eliciting some of the most extraordinary facts we have ever heard as connected with a charge of this description. The witness at first denied that he had been on terms of peculiar intimacy with the prisoner, but he admitted that he sometimes consulted him on his business. Mr. C. PHILLIPS—NOW, Mr. Prosecutor, depend upon it all the facts connected with this case shall be developed. I ask you whether you do not owe the prisoner 10/. ?—Witness (reluctantly) : Yes. Counsel—And does he not hold a bill or promis sory note against you for 70/. ?—Witness (after considerable mental reservation) : He does hold it. The witness then explained that the prisoner had previously been in business on his own account, and when he gave up, he (prosecutor•) purchased part of his stock, and gave the promissory note made payable on demand for the amount. The note had not been paid. The marked money was found in the possession of the prisoner. It turned out in a future stage of the inquiry, that there was near 3/. of other silver in the till, and that a crown had been substituted for two half-crowns from his own pocket, as was alleged to oblige a customer. Mr. Se►jeant ARAMS left it to the Jury to say whether they could believe such testimony, and if they did, he would put the prisoner upon his defence. The Jury expressed that they were satisfied, and immediately returned a verdict of Acquittal. The verdict appeared to give great satisfaction, and the prisoner was congratulated by a number of his friends, some of whom expressed a determination► to bring an action for false imprisonment. Jane Lovell, a good-looking widow, aged 30, was indicted for stealing a watch and other articles from the person of William Later. The prosecutor met the prisoner in London-fields, Hackney-road, on the 12th of May, when he was induced to accompany her to an empty house of his own near the spot. Previous to this, however, he went with her to several public-houses. Having been drinking ull day, he was rather• tipsy. He knew where the prisoner lived, but he had never treated her before the night in question. Is unable to say whether he misbehaved himself towards her. lie fell asleep, and did not awake until five o'clock, when he found that the prisoner was gone, and his watch was missing. Knowing where the prisoner lived, he went and found the watch. The prisoner pointed out _where she had deposited the watch, viz. under the tiling of the house, whither he had adjourned to enjoy her company. When called upon for her defence, the prisoner put in a paper, which we copy verbatim et literati»► : —" My Lord and Gentlemen of the Jury, I bege pardon for intruslen on your time that is so prishous. My prousecutor Furst acosted me by the Cat and Mutton. I did not speak to him till be acosted me the second time, and I did not speak to him then, and he went on his way, seeing I was not goen the same way as he was goen. He crosed the fields, and spike to me agane, and axed me to have summat to drink, which I did nut refuse, so I drank part of two pints of Hale, and a quarton of gin. I th,,n bid him good night. My prousecutor then took me by the hand, and said he was well ware I was not wanted home so sone, so he woud not let me go till I had been to some other public-hous, and have more to drink. My prousecutor than said that there was a curcus at the Mare made at Hackney. He said it wood be to my hadvantage if I wood goe. He then told me that his wife had bean a gal of the town, and had committed money depretations, and had always got throw them safe. My prousecutor wished me to have moor to drink, and we had two glasses of rum and water. Finding myself the wourst for liqor, I wished to go home; but he said hif I wood go fearther with him he wood give me three or lower shillins ; I bean very much distressed att the time, I whent with him, and my prousecutor said he had no money, but gave me his watch, and I gave him my . address. He then said he would call and take his watch and give me some money. He was very tipsey that evening, and when he did come he brought an hofficer and took me up. My Lord and gentleam I leave myself intily to your mercy. J. LOVELL." The COMMON-SERJEANT summed up the evi dence, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. We understood the Learned Judge to say, that the prosecutor would not be allowed his expenses. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday the sitting Alderman, Sir P. LAtTam, received a communication from the Lord Mayor, en closing a letter winch had been addressed to his Lordship by a prisoner in the Fleet, complaining that he was confined in the strong room on an un founded charge, and that the said strong room had been rendered unfit for habitation from the circum stances that it had not been cleaned or aired by firing since a man had been dissected in it, and the corpse of another man had been kept there who died of an infectious disorder. Mr. Beresford, the chief clerk, advised the Alder man that he had no authority over the Warden or the Fleet Prison, but Sir Peter considered that part of the letter which referred to a dissection having taken place so extraordinary, that it deserved im mediate explanation, as the Coroner did not re member holding any inquest at the gaol recently, where such an examination of the deceased had been necessary. Sir l'F.Tr.Tt therefore repaired to the prison in stanfer, xvh . t-re he was politely received by Mr. Brown, the Warden, who, after observing that in law he ‘...as responsible alone to the Judges of the Common Pleas Court, said be would cheerfully afford Sir Peter the fullest explanation, and con ducted him to the strong room, where Tilley, the writer of the letter, was still in confinement. The man was sitting at a table with some cards dealt out before him, as if he had been playing with a fellow-prisoner; and his wife was sitting in a corner, with an infant in her arms, and two other children by her side. The room appeared to be as commodious as many others in the gaol, having a boarded floor and a fireplace in it ; with glass before the bars across the window, and a small yard, per haps fifteen feet square, to take an airing in. His wife was permitted to remain with him day and night, and he was visited every three hours, that any reasonable wants might be supplied. He had been allowed to receive half a gallon of porter on Monday; so that the punishment, in flier, was merely a restriction from enjoying the society of the other prisoners. After hearing Tilley's statement, several witnesses were called before the Alderman, who entered into all matters at length. We need, however, only state the result :—That it appeared the strong room had been washed out after what was termed the dissection and the placing of the infectious corpse in it, and the window was kept constantly open while unoccupied. That about three weeks ago a man fell down stairs, and died from the injury- he received, and prior to the inquest the surgeon opened the head only to be able to state precisely the cause of death ; and this operation was called "a dissection." That about a fortnight ago, a Mr. Wasbrough, who formerly conducted a clever newspaper, called the English Gentleman, died of consumption, and his corpse was kept for some hours in this room for• the holding of the usual in quest. But the body was not considered to be in an infectious state, it was scarcely noisome, for the poor gentleman had literally pined away all his flesh, and become a mere skeleton. As there were com monly .500 souls within the walls, the immediate removal of the dead w as resorted to as a proper precaution, even where no danger• could be appre hended from allowing the corpse to remain in the rooms of the building. And with respect to the cause of the prisoner's confinement, it appeared that he had severely kicked some stranger who had in sulted his wife; and that a prisoner named Kay, some hours afterwards, met Tilley in a passage and told him he thought he had treated the stranger rather too roughly. Tilley instantly struck Kay, who ran off, the former being almost a giant in size and strength. Another prisoner who (to use his own words) had been taking a pint in " the snug gery" (tap room) remonstrated against this violence and came in for a severe blow in the mouth ; and on the complaint of these two prisoners, corroborated by three witnesses, the Warden committed Tilley to the strong room, until he should appear contrite, and promise not to offend again in the like manner. Sir P. LAI:RIF 'explained to the prisoner that he had no power to interfere; and after the investiga tion he expressed himself satisfied that the prisoner's complaint was groundless, and that he had been pro , perly punished by the Warden. From the unbending temper the prisoner showed before the Magistrate, his continuance in his present gloomy abode is not likely to he of short duration. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday Covington and Jones, beadles of the Grosvenor-place district, Pimlico, applied to Mr. WnrrE for a summons against Mr. Webb, a broker, in Ebury-street, for suffering his dog to go at large about the streets, after notice had been given to the inhabit tats to confine their dogs. Mr. 'WHITE immediately granted a summons. Jones said several other persons, whose (logs were about the streets, had on being spoken to im mediately confined the animals, and he had orders from Mr. Boodle, the secretary, not to proceed against them. Mr. Webb was the only person who had refused. The following is an extract from the clause in the local Act of the 7th Geo. IV., commonly called the Grosvenor Act :—" If any person permit his or her dog to go at large after public notice given by any beadle or crier within the limits of this Act during such time as such notice shall direct dogs to be confined on suspicion of the existence of canine madness within or near the limits of this Act, Bz.c., the person or persons so offending shall for every such offence forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding 51." Thomas Springall, a private belonging to the 3d Regiment ofGuard s , was p l ace d a t the b a r on th e following charge On Monday afternoon the defendant, who was in toxicated, in c, )mpany w i th two o f hi s comra d es , we re rowing in a wherry from the Red-house at 13a!tersea to Mi'Wank, when within about 15 or 20 yards of the latter place, they passed a boat in which were three females and a young man, the de fendant endeavoured to get into the boat in which the females were, and stepped upon the gunwale, when his weight immediately upset the boat, and the whole party were plunged into the Thames. Several watermen from the shore, who the oc- PRICE currence, instantly put off to the assistance of the females, and by their exertions saved them from a watery grave. The youngest of the females wa , nearly exhausted when she was picked up. Thu. waterman and the defendant swam on shore. Further evidence Wai adduced, from which it ap peared that the defendant had acted in the most in decent manner to the females when they were brought on shore, and he was given in charge to a police constab:e. The prisoner made no defence, and he was com mitted to the House of Correction for one month, and to be kept to hard labour. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Mr. Stephen Pontin was charged be fore Mr. MtNsituu. with having committed a violent assault upon Rosser Smith, a groom in the service of the Governor of Chelsea Hospital. On last Thursday the complainant was on his re turn from Epsom races on horseback, riding slowly, when the defendant, who was driving at a furious rate in a chaise cart, drove so near him that the complainant, in order to save himself from being run over, made a cut at the defendant's horse, and then Lode on at a faster rate. The defendant followed him, and cat him with his whip, and the complai nant used his also. The defendant then pursued the complainant, dragged him from the horse which he rode, and beat him severely with his whip while on the ground. A gentleman from the Secretary's department of Chelsea Hospital corroborated the above evidence. The defendant, he said, was driving in a very vio lent manner on the wrong side of the road. Both the complainant and defendant appeared to be quite sober. Another gentleman, named Neale, proved also that the defendant was driving at a furious rate, and in passing him (the witness) he struck him with his whip. Mr. Bowen proved that he was on the roid at the time in question, and was thrown from his horse by the defendant, who drove right against him. lie had never, he said, witnessed such outrageous con duct before. Mr. MlNslltaid. had heard quite enough to feel that he must call upon the defendant to find bail to answer to three distinct charges of assault. The defendant was accordingly held to bail, him self in 1001. and two sureties in 60/. each, to an swer the charges at the Sessions. U\ION_HALL• Yesterday Benjamin Thomas Toombs was brought up for final examination on a charge of intermar rying with Mary Ann Rudge, his former wife Le titia being still alive. The prisoner and his second wife were given into custody on Monday last at the porch of Newington church by the brother of the latter just after• the ceremony of their marriage had been solemnized, and it was found necessary to com mit Mary Ann Rudge for re-examination, as well as the prisoner, in consequence of her refusal to ap i,ear as a witness against him on the present occa• sion. The case was postponed in the first instance for the purpose of obtaining the evidence necessary to prove the first marriage, and a witness having arrived from Birmingham his depositions were taken. William Alsop was a scale-beam-maker, and lived at Birmingham : he recollected having been present at the marriage between the prisoner and Letitia, which took place the l6th of August, 1814.. The brothers of the first and second wives, who attended the examination, intimated their determi nation to follow up the prosecution against the ac cused, declaring that no expence should be spared on the occasion. Mary Ann Rudge stated that she was married to the prisoner on Monday last, at Newington church. The certificate of this marriage was also produced. The Magistrate (Mr. SwAnEv) regretted that it was found necessary, on the first examination, to send the second wife to gaol, in consequence of the unwillingness she evinced to appear on this occasion. The Magistrate then told her that her evidence was indispensably necessary on the trial of the prisoner; and asked her whether she would now consent to voluntarily come forward and save the unpleasant necessity of committing her to prison. Second Wife—l have now been imprisoned for a whole week, and should prefer to be sent for a whole year, rather than lay myself under an obliga tion to my family to be bail for my appearance. Mr. SWABEY—Your brother has acted in every way creditable to himself upon the occasion. He was aware that you married a man who had already a wife living, and he very properly gave you both into custody at the church-door, and saved you from the ruin that awaited you. Her brother here stated, that rather than see his sister go to gaol, he should be willing almost to make any sacrifice; and if she made a solemn pro mise to him that she would not keep out of the way, he would hare no objection► to be bail for her ap pearance on the trial. The sister however refused to make any promise of th?.t nature, upon which the Magistrate said, that however unpleasant the duty was, he had no other alternative than to commit her to Kingston gaol, to await the trial, at which she would appear under very disgraceful circumstances—that of an unwil. ling witness on the trial of a man charged with a most serious offence. Mr. SWABEY then asked the young woman's brother whether, under these eircu instances, he would give security to the amount of 1001. for the appearance of his sister ? The brother replied, that from the obstinacy evinced by the girl, and the un willingness she displayed, he was confident that she would not appear, and under such circum stances he declined becoming security for her ap pearance. The prisoner was then asked whether he wished to state any thing ? He said that as the marriage was not consummated, inasmuch as he and Mary Ann Rudge were taken into custody on their leav ing the church, he imagined that the offence was not completed, and that therefore he had a right to his discharge, The Magistrate told him that it was enough to establish the fact of the marriage being so!emnized, to convict him ; and he was accordingly committed for trial. Mary Ann Rudge was also committed to Kingston gaol, to insure her attendance o❑ the trial, to give evidence against the prisoner, JOHN BARNES, who was acquitted yester day et the Old Bailey, of stealing 61 silver plates and other articles, the Property of the Marquis of BATH, was afterwards found guilty, on a scnrid indictment, (4 . steal ing :three Pozen of drinking glasses ; the property of the same Nobleman. EARTHQUAKE AT PORT-AU-PRINCE.- PORT•AU-PRINCE, APRIL 14 :-" Weeaperionced a tre mendous shock of an carthqunke here the night before last. The walls of al the brick houses in town were cracked. The commotion lasted about thirty seconds, The house in which I lived was of wood, which kept such a crAing that I was afraid it would fall every moment. I ran Cu, on the piazza, and Was in the act of jumping front it, a distance of forty feet, when every thing became quiet Again. Every house was deserted, and in a few rninut:Ne the street was full of people, running in 411 ditections. The lowing ;if the cattle, the howling of the dogs, and the cries and screams of the women and children, were truly alarming. This is the third eatthquake sine: , my arriv a l, th e ot h er two town, andbeing very saw sl large ight stones .Afterall i an pillars "a'ersr, I we n t roun d the of brick work thrown front the houses, and the walls ruined." As the capture of Wallace was as event wholly unexpected by - the English, the news of it, whiA spread with the rapidity of lightning, produced, in every part of the kingdom, a deep and univer sal sensation. Labour of every kind was aban doned, and people of all ranks flocked to those points of the road where it was expected the illustrious captive would pas. At Carlisle the escort halted for a night ; and the tower in which he was secured long afterwards retained his name. As the cortege approached London the crowds became more numerous ; cn 1, on entering the capital, his conductors found their progress re tarded by the multitudes that were collected ; while every elevatiofi or projection, however pe rilous, from which he could be seen, was occu pied with, or clung to, by anxious spectators, eager to behold a m a n wh o h a d fill e d E ng l an d with terror, and the fame of whose achievements had resounded through every country in Europe. After much exertion the cavalcade at leneth reached the house of William Delect, a citizen in Fenchurch-street, where their prisoner was lodged for the night. From the circumstance of his having been taken- to a private house, rather than to a place of greater securi:y, it has been imagined by some that Edward intended to make a last effort to gain Wallace over to his interest. This conjecture, however, is not suf ficiently supported by subsequent proceedings to entitle it to any degree of credit ; and we are ;note inclined to believe, that the difficulty which the party encountered in making there way through the dense multitudes who had blocked up the streets and lanes leading to the Tower, may, with greater probability, be imipsed as the cause for taking him to the house of Delect. The thirst for revenge existed too keenly in the ruthless mind of Edward, to admit of much delay in the sacrifice of his victim. Though a consideration for the opinion of the more en lightened of his subjects, and the manner in which his conduct might be viewed at foreign courts, obliged him to have recourse at least to the formality of a trial—the indecent harts with which it was brought on made the mockery of judicial procedure but too apparent. The day after his arrival he was conduced on horseback, from the house which his brief residence had made the scene of universal attraction, to take his trial in Westminster Hall. His progress from Fenchurch-street, according to Stowe, ap pears to have been a sort of procession, Lord John de Segrave, the fugitive of Rodin, acting as Grand Marshal of En g l a nd, an d arme d cap.' rode on one side, while Geoffrey de Hartlepool, Recorder of London, equipped in a similar manner, rode on the other. The Mayor, Sheriffs, and Aldermen followed, at tended by a number of official characzera on horseback and on foot, arranged accoiding to their respective grades. On reaching the spot where the solemn farce was to be performed, he was placed on the south bench of the great hall ; and, in consequence of an absurd report which had been circulated in England, of his having said that he deserved to wear a crown in that place, a crown of laurel was put upon his head. The noble appearance of the man, joined to his calm and unruffled de meanour, entirely disarmed this silly attempt at ridicule of its intended effect. Sir Peter Malory, the King's Justice, then rose, and read the indictment, wherein the pri soner was charged with treason against the King of England, burning of towns, and slaying of the subjects of his Majesty. To the first of these counts Wallace answered, that as he had never been the subject of the King of England ha owed him no allegiance, and consequently could be no traitor. As to the other offences, ha frankly admitted, that in the discharge of his duty to his country, he had done all that was stated. On this admission, the following atro cious sentence was pronounced : For treason, he was to be first dragged to tha lA he ac w e as o f t o ex b e e c t u h to. For then n n h u llg murder ace rtain air rob time eby to .), the neck ; and, because he had burned abbeys and religious houses, he was to be taken down alive from the gibbet, his entrails torn out, and burnt before him, his body to be quartered, and the parts afterwards to be disposed of as the clemency of his Majesty might suggest. When the necessary preparations were w'.,de for carrying this sentence into execution, the late champion of Scottish independePee was brought forth from the place where he had been kept in confinement, heavily ironed, and chained to a bench of oak. He was then placed on a hurdle, and, surrounded by a strong guard of soldiers, ignominiously dragged to the Elms, in Smith field. That self-possession and undaunted de meanour which he evinced during the trial, ap peared equally conspicuous on the scaffold. Looking round with undisturbed composure on the assembled multitude, he addressed himself to a person near him, and asked for a priest to whom he might make confession. This request, on being made known to Edward, he is said to have sternly refused ; and the rancorous old man forbad any clergyman to retard the execu tion for such a purpose. On hearing this un dignified command of his sovereign, Winchelsea, Archbishop of Canterbuary, the same individual who so faithfully discharged his duty at Carla verock, stepped boldly forward, and, after ear nestly remonstrating with Edward, declared his determination to officiate himself. When the ceremony usual on such occasions was finished, Wallace rose from his knees, and the Arch bishop having taken le a v e o f him, instantly de parted for Westminster, thus declining to witness the sequel of an act so revolting to humanity, and which he no doubt considered as fixing a deep stain on the character of his country. The spectacle which was now exhibited to the gaze of the inhabitants of the metropolis of England, was such us perhaps has lower been presented to the populace of any land, The last freeman of an ancient people, not less renowned for their bravery thap, for their love of independ ence, stood a calm and unshrinking victim, ready to be immolated at tha shrine of despot ism. That powerful arm which had long con tended for liberty was now to be unstrung be neath the knife of the executioner anti that heart, replete with every ennobling virtue, which never quailed in the sternest hour of danger, was doomed to quiter ir, the purifying flames of martyrdom. During the pause which preceded the tinhal. lowed operations, Wallace turned to Lord CHll ford, and requested that a Psalter,* w hich had been taken from his person, might be returned. His desire being complied with, he asked a priest to hold it open before him. This book had been his constant companion from his early years, and was perhaps the gift of his mother or his uncle, the parson of Dunipace.
