SPIRIT OF TILE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It would appear from the German Papers that the Plenipotentiaries of tine Allied_POwers, who had been charged with the settlemeet of the afftirs of Greece, had so long as the 224 June made up their minds On two or three points of the highest importence to the adjustreept of the matter con fided to them. A letter, purporting to he official, and beating the signatures " Aberdeen," " Mont morency Laval," and " Matousewitsch," is given as having at the above date been addressed by them to Count Capo d"lstrias, assuring - that personify: — first, that his administration of the government- of Gteeee had merited the high approbation of the So vereiges, and bad induced them to desire that M. Po d'lstrias might ' continue to govern the country with thosamo.2eal and activity as ever.- 24. They inform the Count that. the last protocol-- namely, that (if we remember right) which had declared the sovereignty of Greece to be in Prince Leopold, establishing the complete independence of the new state, and prescribing her boundaries—would not be executed in any part, but that another, in 01l tiered: more stilieactory la Greece, would be made, end by which would be assigned to her a more ample extent offronlier, both by land and sea. The third division of the official letter is of rather a curious stamp. It declares the intention of their Majesties, that the sovereign who is to reign over the new stare, shall be " a young Prince; and that your Excellency" (to wit,..Capo d'lstrias), " shall be Iris guide and Mentor as long as you live." With re gard to the merits of Count Cupo d'lstrias's admi nistration, we are happy, for the sake of Greece her self, to find that it has been such as to merit the en cotnituns bestowed upon it by the Sovereigns, and more especially that the opinions entertained of it list General Church, and others of our countrymen, appear to be sri utterly groundless. As for the pros posed extension of the frontier, (if it is really con templated), it must be considered a wise, and pro violent step on the part of the Allied Sovereigns, in asmuch 4$ it is infinitely better that such an ar rangement should form part of the original and fun damental compact tinder which Greece is con stituted, and her relations with Turkey and other Powers defined, than that the compact should be violated, and those relations forcibly altered, a few years afterwards. The Sovereigns have embraced a resolution with regard to the mode of ad ministering tine Greek Government, which, if it have no other characteristic, has doubtless that of originality. They inform Count Capo d'lshias, in one line, that the new SoVereign shall he is " young Prince"—meaning, we presume, an infant ; and in the next they have decreed that the 'raid young Prince shrill never come to years of discretion; because they ennounce to Count Capn d'lstrius, that he is to be the guide and Mentor , of the aforesaid Sovereign during his (Caro d'lstrias's) life. If such be really the determination of the Al lied Governments, it would account for, end seem to authenticate, a report which has been circulated, that several " young. Princes" in succession refused the Throne of Greece, after Prince Leopold's renun ciation of it.' Humble as we are, we should not greatly covet a throne, on which Count Capo tries, in his quality of Mentor, was to keep us tied, neck end heels, to the end of his natural existence. The deaiFn of the letter, nevertheless, is liberal and otrouragmg to Greece; though (as will be observed by our manner of treating it) we more than doubt its authenticity.---T imer, Onir readers will find in our columns an ample ac. count of the dinner given at Manchester to the Duke of Wellington. Ills Grace 'paid a tribute to the wonderful ingenuity and skill of Manchester. It was, he said, ," the fountain anti centre °fa sys tem of commerce, such as never existed in any part of the globe till this moment." On polities he was silent, notwithstanding the invitation held out in the toast to " the health of his Majesty's Ministers." The sudden termination of his speech, when be iteemed, from the energy of his manner, to be big with some mighty were, filled his audit:nee with surprise.' They, no doubt, expected in return for their magnificent dinner an account of the wonderful manner in which the Ex-King of France and his fYlinistets contrived to mystify him and his colleagues respecting their intentioni; but this was too impor tant a secret, it .seems, to be .entrusted to them. One of the party, the Earl of Wilton, fought , hard to entangle the Premier:— " Ile might," ha said, 4 , be allowed to allude to the public opinion existing then—it was striding athwart the WA and was fraught with considerable danger. Ile M. snentheted when the public opinion breathed obetlience to the Lawa—berellitary attachment to the Aristucr.tey......loy alty and Affection. to . the ,Throne. fie should be the last nom to say that those sentiments did not now exist ; hot 11.. thought that they were at. least lessened in degree.

It la very ungrateful, no &Min, in the people after Earl Wilton has allowed them to obtain knowledge, to turn that knowledge against the Arigtoeraey, and upbraid them with making a little too free with beian pockets . .-21forning Chronicle. We have had some conversation with intelligent natives of Brunswick now in London, on the subject of the late disturbances in that place. They all agree that the Duke is not insane, but diet he is excessively depraved, and a perfect Nero in disposi tion. The small territory of Brunswick is one of the most flourishing in Germany ;. and, though the po pulation of the Duchy is only about 230,000, it contains a number of thriving and comparatively populous towns, the capital, Brunswick, having 82,500. Wolfenbuttel 0,800, and Helnetadt 5,259 inhabitants. The wretch who has at length ex hausted the patience of the inhabitants, 'has been guilty of every sort of robbery and fraud. Leilers were seized at the Post.otlice, their contain; apPro• priated without ceremony, and he carried his effrontery so far as to give to an abandoned female a valuable gold chain, which ho took out of a letter, and which she did not scruple to want publicly. No functionary was safe under him ; for be tiampled on all law, and all order, and all &con; and whoever refused to degrade himself, by the vilest subserviency to his crimes and vices, was treated, with the utmost indig nity.. Personally he is described as an arrant coward ; but those who incurred his con. eeived themselves in danger of amsassination; or of being poisoned, for he was supposed capable deny Jrinre. On the subject of the conduct of the Duke of Brunswick, during the seven years of his ride since his becoming major, we - understand the public may expect some valuable details in a few days, as a gentleman who lutely filled the office of Private Count:ilia to him—M; now in Lon- don, preparing a pamphlet for publication. Most of our readers must recollect the absurd' hostilities of this wretch to our late Sovereign, and the accuse. thin't (if fraud which ho brought egainst him and Coinit Munster. The manner in which he conducted himeelf in this dispute led titilVitiers to suppose him eraoKed, white is merely low and depraved. The late Kin g i s , however; blamed for hawing disregarded the: recommendations of those who had an interest in leis good behaviour to have him educated where he would have aces good exam p les at ue events.

Those who form part of large States, can be kept down by the other nations under the same sway ; mid then, again the smaller States, like Brunswic k are kept down by the great States. In vain, for instance, have the people of Brunewiek sent deputations' to Vienna, to the Statesman who has so long directed the coun cils of the Holy Alliance, complaining of the into lerable oppression to which they were subject. The answer they obtained was, that no doubt the Duke was not what be ought to he; but the German sys tem wrought well on the whole, and it was not to be disturbed on account of 200,000 people who felt themselves ill-used. It was added for their con solation, that the Duke could not live for ever, and better timetamight be hoped for under a successor. It would appear that the people of Brunswick, see tug that Om misery could only etel with the life of the Duke, have endeavoured to take the shortest way to put an end to the connection. The wretch, however, has sticceded in effecting his escape. If we may rely on the following commun ' cation, which we have just received, we may soon expect to re -1 ceive the /Ike of Brunswick in England : " It is rumoured that the young tyrant if Brunswick has already arrived at Bmterdsm on his way to England. Every German hopes that the Court of King William the Fourth will nut disgrace itself by receiving such a monster. Let him go and join the upostolleal awl de spotic exiles. at Lu'worth ; but let him not dare to fare men who will and must become free front the chains which the Holy Alliance and the German Diet have forged (or them in Germany. " A GERMAN." A Provisional Government lies, in the meantime, been formed; and we should suppose, whatever may be the destiny of Brunswick, the reign of the Duke is at an end. The Holy Alliance will hardly have the effrontery to push legitimacy so far as to re-subject the inhabitants to this monster.—Morn ing Chrimiele. The National Guards of France—tlie patriotic and brave defenders of their country—have been denounced by the organ of the Military Premier of England as a dungerous and unconstitutional force. This is an additional proof that they are not dis posed to sleep at the post of honour, or to neglect the sacred trust of defending the liberties of the na tion, which Jesuitic:el statesmen and military chiefs would have trampled in the dust. The journal which advocates a military dictatorship in the Ca binet and a Ministerial gendarmerie in the metro polis of this " free country," affects the most sen sitive alarm lest the constitutional rights of France should be destroyed by the armed citizens by whom they have been rescued from destruction. It be cornea the journal that praised the Polignac Mi nistry, while its guilty ambition had a chance of guceess, to vilify the National Guards, by whose de voted courage and civil virtue its ruin was principally accomplished. It becomes the journal that offers its daily incense to the Military Chief who declared " county meetings were farces," to denounce that organisation of a people for the protection of their property and freedom which makes despotism feel the weakness of its mercenary powers. If the French are capable of gratitude, they must feel in finitely obliged for the anxious regard for the preservation of their free institutions which the oracle of the British Cabinet expresses, coupled, as it is, with the condemnation of the deli verers f their eouutry. Let us hear what the words of that oracle are :—" The Na *nal ,Guard of France ' with La Fayette for their chief, carry France on the . points of their bayonets. This enormous army contemns, by a reasonable esti mate, from 800,000 to 1,000,000 Mil—self-orga nized, self-officered, with ditties so frequent as to keep them almost constantly under arms, and, at all events, such as, with their degree of discipline and esprit dos corps, renders .them as distinct and inde pendent body in the State--a body with which no other can reasonably think of contending." If this account of the nature and power of the National Guards be true, the obvious inference is, that such a citizen-force is the most effective that ran be con ceived for preventing any thing like the civil com motion and anarchy which the friends of defeated tyranny would gladly stir up, to tarnish the glories and neutralise the advantages of the revolution. We not only admit time power of the National Guard to be as great as the Wellington Journal has stated it, but to be considerably greater. We believe that when generally organised, it will be nearer a mil lion and is half of men Om one million. Yet we suspect that,liotwithstanding the fearful anticipations cf our cotemporery, the French will prefer for the future armed citizens to hired Swiss, and La Fayette IQ Marmunt But what in reelity is the National Guard ?—they are the people themselves—the intel ligent, substantial, Middle classes of society, where the virtue, the patriotism, and all that constitutes the moral force of the country reside. For such men to conspire against the country, would be to conspire ageinat themselves. They are not mercenary troops, who trey be stimulated by the love of pay or plunder to support tyranny one day, and create anarchy the next. They ere not prretorian cohorts, to whom the opportunities of civil turmoil and de vastation would be advantageous or agreeable, and who would follow the banners of a wild am bition through whatever path of blend and social misery it led, to the establishment of military misrule, It is absurd to compare with the Janiasariea of a despot men who are armed to defend their fire-sides—theii kindred—their property—their rights as men and citizens, from domemic foes or foreign invasion.— Such were the men who mowed guard in our cities and towns, or, us it was termed, kept " watch and ward" under our Anglo-Saxon institutions.— The National Guard of France is but, as we have stared before, a revival and modification of that citizen force; far every town in England had of old as Paris and Brussels have now, its citizen-soldiers or burgher guard. Instead of that patriotic and " cheap defence of nations," we have now a stand ing army--" inland fortresses," under the name of barracks—and a military police, dependent upon the authority of the Ministers of the Crown. We say that if the theories of an enlightened freedom in France are not to be empty words—if the rights which she has wrested from a sanguinary despotism rare not to be rendered dependent upon the will of mercenary sol diers on the one side, or an impassioned populace on the other, she must be protected by those armed citizens who have every motive dearest to the hearts of men to indoce them to support time cause of well constituted-Government, and to attach them to - the lib er ti es amid social happiness of their country.— Moraing Herald. DARING OUTRAGES AT THE ELECTION OF CORONER. On Monday evening, Henry Mostly, Joseph 'ref, William Harris, William Bidgood, and IVii liamJaoldings, were charged before Mr.BROUGHTON, at Worship-street-olliee, with committing various outrages near the hustings .on Clerkenwell-green, and endangering the livto of several individuals. Mr, Reynolds, High Constable for the Tower division, informed the Magistrate that each prisoner was charged with a separate offence. He should first prefer his complaint against the prisoner Mostly. A considerable feeling prevailed in the vast concourse of persons assembled against all who clime to vote for Mr. Baker; and such was the pitch at which it arrived, that all carriages proceeding to wards the hustings with Mr. Baker's ("donde were assailed. The plower Moody was on the top of a house three , stories high, pulling the tiles off the roof, and throwing them at Mr. Baker's carriages. Several persons were struck, and one gentleman had his'faco dreadfully cut, and was carried away bleed ing profusely. Witness took an dicer with him, and proceeded to the top of the house, where he secured the prisoner. There were several tiles and bricks lying near the prisoner broken into large pieces, ready to throw at the carriages. Mr. BaoturruN told the prisoner it was a most gross outrage, and deserved die severest punish moo. He. should require him to find substantial, buil, which the prisoner not being provided with, was committed to prison. Joieph Erry Was neat charged with outrageous conduct mid nssaulting an officer. This prisoner was also held to bail. William Harris was next placed at the bar. William Nash stated, that about a quarter before rOur several of Mr. Wakley's carriages were coming towards the hustings, anti one of Mr. Baker's car riages following, the prisoner was attempting to pUll Mr. Baker's bills off the carriage, and swore he would smash the ---- coach to pieces. Witness told him to go about his busineis and keep away:— The prisoner replied, " You be —, and all Baker's party," and up with his fist to strike witness, when he took him in custody. Mr. IlitoucarroN—Do you know any reason for this violence towards Mr. Baker's party ? Witness— None, Sir, except that he is at the head of the poll. Mr. firtottairroN—But somebody must be at the head of the poll. I hope it is not true that persons y ire hired to behave in this dis t zraceful manner; such is certainly reported : if it is the case, it can not be called a fair election; eiieh party ought to have fair play.; It is not the wish of the Magistrates to interfere in electioneering squabbles; but they are .bound to prevent breaches of the peace, plod- Cularly when lives are endangered. The prkoner, having expressed contrition for his conduct, aas liberated upon entering into his own recognizance to appear at the Sessions. The prisoner Bidgood was discharged, there being no one present to identify him. luddinga said he was sorry for what he had done—he bad no reason for doing it ; he merely threw mud once, because he saw others throw it. Mr. puouGllToN—llow much were you paid fur it, and who hired you ? Jackiings—l was paid nothing, Sir. Nobody told me to do it. 1 did it because others did it. Mr.IIROUGIITON—Ifyou are caught offending again you will not. get off so cloy : us you appear very sorry for what you have done, I shall discharge you. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Two gentlemen, who have been in the habit of going to and returning from Greenwich by water, yesterday waited upon the Lottp MAYon, as Conser vator of the river 'themes, to represent that the lives of people were constantly in danger in consequence 01 the improper speed of the steam-vessels up and down the river. The gentlemen, accompanied by two ladies, it ap. peered from their statement, got into a wherry near London-bridge, for the purpose of being rowed down to Greenwich. As they passed along, three steam vessels overtook them, but the wherry was in no danger until the City of londonderry steam-boat passed, and by the swell occasioned by her speed very nearly swamped her. The water poured in, and all in the wherry were above their nudes in it; indeed, the poor waterman, who was grievously ter rified, expected every moment that they would all go to the bottom. Nothing but skill and resolution, in fact, saved their lives, The LORD MAYOR said, that he had caused a no tice to be served upon the proprietors, cautioning them not to propel the vessels at a greater rate than five miles an blur between Loudon-bridge and Greenwich. If the gentlemen who complained could swear that the vessel in question exceeded that rate, a penalty should certainly be inflicted. This proposition was rejected, the gentlemen de claring that.no one who had any notion of the nature and obligation of an oath could think of stn wiring to the speed of a steam-vessel. They had not made this complaint for their own sakes, for the danger was past, and they should take care not to expose themselves to any thing of the kind again, but it was for the sake of the public. There appeared to be one plan by which the.steam r vessels might he held wider salutary restriction,, to appoint time-keepers in London an d Greenwich, and that if the steam vessels reached their destination before a certain time, the infliction of a severe : penalty would, no doubt, some put an end to the dangerous practice of quick sailing. The Lonn MAYOR said, he thought the proposed plan a most unexceptionable (meowd he should cer tainly do all in his power to obtain for the public greater security than at present existed. His Lord. ship then suggested to the gentlemen the propriety of memorializing the Court of Aldermen on the subject, and suggesting the dime-mentioned plan for their consideration. The gentlemen signified that they would send a Memorial to the Court of Aldermen. BOW.STREI?',I% Yesterday Captain Lambert Malony, who acted as second to Lieutenant Joseph Crowder at Bou logne, on the Ist of April, 1829, when that gentle man was unfortunately killed by his adversary> Captain George Paul Helsham, came to this office, accompanied by Mr. Harmer, the solicitor, for the purpose of surrendering himself to justice, and taking his trial, with Captain Helsham, who stands charged with the murder of the deceased. The transaction having occurred beyond the limits of the United Kingdom, a special commission must be issued by the Lord Chancellor for the trial of the accused, agreeably: to a recent Act of Parlia ment, introduced by Lord Lansdowne, and it was for the purpose of being included in that commie. siert that Captain Malony came voluntarily forward to meet the consequences of the part which he had taken in the unfortunate affair. We understand, however, diet no blame is attached to the conduct of Captain Malony, and that an application will be made, on the part of the prosecution, to admit him as a witness for the Crown, when the , trial takes place at the Old Bailey, during the ensuing sessions. The prisoner having stated his name and ,his object in coming forward, The Rev. James Crowder, brother to the de ceased, having deposed to the fact of the duel, and the fatal result which ensued, charged the prisoner with having acted as second to his brother, and added, that when he (the witness) saw the dead body of the deceased at Boulogne two days after the meeting had taken place, the prisoner ackeow. !edged then, and on several occasions since, that he had attended the deceased to the ground as his second. The Rev. Gentleman added, that to him knowledge and belief Captain Mulony, v,tprie volun tarily forward, wi►h a view to promote the ends'of justice. The deposition having been read over to the pri soner, Mr. Mtrontut.f asked him if he had anything to say ? Captain Malony—l have only to say that the deposition is perfectly correct. Mr. MlNsttuu.--Then it will be my duty to com mit you for trial for the murder of the deceased. Captain Malony bowed and retired in custody of Dodd, the gaoler. A certificate of the examination and committal of the prisoner was then drawn up at the request of Mr. Harmer, and signed by the Magistrate, for the purpose of placing before the authorities of the Home-office, and also before the Lord Chancellor, with a view to obtain a commission for the trial of the accused. Several letters have been received by Sir It. BtRNIE, with offers of money and assistance' to for ward the interests of Sarah Alexander ot herwisei Johnson, and her little broth er , whom she had sup • ported by the wages of her prostitution. Owing to the exertions of the benevolent gentleman who wrote to Sir R. ilirnie in the first instance, the girl hermit' has at her own desire been admitted to the female asylum in the Hackney-road, and her brother has been nominated to the next vacancy at the Orphan Working Asylum, City-road, of which establishment the benevolent gentlem an i s a life governor. The next election for the admission of an orphan will take place in November, and the humane individual has not only promised his sup port upon that occasion, but has placed a sum of money in the bends of Serjeatit ,M'Sweeny, of F. division, for the child's maintenance until the result of the election be made known. Mr. Eden, the Master in Chancery, has al so ta k en ft strong interest in the fate of the young woman, and offered to pro cure ber an admission to the Magdalen, and if her conduct then should merit approbation, to place her in a respectable way of business by raising a fund for tl►e purpose. IlArroN.o AR DEN. James Long, the individual who was charged at this office on Monday, on suspicion of having been concerned in the murder of John Long, the police- Man, was brought up before Mr. LAING for fund examination. The particular circumstances which created the above suspicion, and those under which the prisoner was apprehended, are ns follow ;—The prisoner and Sap% ell. alias Smith, who stands charged with being the principal in the murder, are both journeymen bakers,and have had an intimate acquaintance with each other for several years. In the year 1820, when Long was an apprentice, and ~ etl only la years of age, he and another lad, aged 17, %etre prevailed upon by Sapwell to com mit a robbery upon his (Sapwell's) aunt, who was the wife of a plumber and glazier, and then resided in the neighbourhood of St. James's -street, Picca dilly. himself assisted in the robbery, and afterwards the three were takes into custody, when Sapwell turned King's evidence, and Long arid hi, companion were convicted, and sentenced to die. In consideration, however, of their youth, the sentence of death was commuted to ten years' imprisonment, and they were accordingly sent on board one of the hulks ; but they conducted themselves in general with so much propriety in this situation, and showed such signs of repentance, that a recommendation in their behalf was laid before tke Secretary of State, and an order was returned to have them discharged at the expiration of eight years. As soon as Long was liberated, it is n strange fact, that he renewed his former intimacy with the man, who had acted towards him with so much treachery, and had brought his life into such imminent peril, and it appears that, however he contrived to support himself—and he did so evidently in a very fashion tible st)le—be never afterwards had recourse to his trade, or laboured at any other employment. For some weeks past he has resided, we understand, at No. 2, Wellington-place, Britannia -street, City road, and has cohabited there with a young woman, whom he introduced as his wife, of the name of Smith, and who it is supposed is either the aim or some other near relative of Salmon. -These cir cumstances having come to the knowledge of the police, suspicion attached to Long that he might have been in the company of Sapwell on the night of the murder, and the suspicion was strengthened by the belief that he answered the description given of one of the two men who were Sapwell's accom plices on the occasion. Accordingly the police were on the alert, and on Saturday night last the prisoner was apprehended in the neighbourhood of the Re gent's-park, by a serjeant of the S. division. On the following morning two of the police-constables proceeded to his lodgings, and the young woman, Smith, above alluded to, being absent they forced open the door, and diligently ransacked the apart ment. In the drawer of a table they found a pick lock key, of a most peculiar and ingenious construc tion, but nothing else of a suspicious nature. Mary Anne Griffiths, one of the principal wit nesses in this case, and, we believe, other witnesses, were examined, but none of them could give the slightest evidence as to the priAoner's identity, and he was discharged. lYillianr Sapwell, otherwise John Smith, whom we have alluded to above as being the principal concerned in the murder, was then brought up for final examination. When the prisoner was placed at the bar, Mr. LAING Said to him, " Do you still persist in alleging that your name is Smith ? Prisoner (firmly) —I do: my name is John Smith. Mr. LAING then turned to a man in the office, whom we understood to be a baker, and whose name is Mace, and asked him if he knew the prisoner, and also his real name. Mace replied that he did. Ile knew his mime to he Supwell, and knew him to have kept a baker's shop about seven or eight years ago, in Charlotte.s►reet, Fitzroy-square, next door to the Lord Nelson public-house. Mr. LAING, to the prisoner --Do yon know this • Witness? Prisoner—l know nothing of him nor of what be states. Mace added that what he stated was perfectly correct, for he had known the prisoner well. Mr. LAING next inquired of the prisoner if he had known a man of the name of Long whom ten years ago he had prosecuted for a robbery, and who it was alleged had been in his company on the night the murder was committed? The prisoner replied that he did not, nor any other person at all con cerned in it. Long was here confronted with the prisoner, and Mr. LAING asked the latter—Do you know that man ? Prisoner—l do not (in a very indecisive manner.) Long—•. You do. You know you gave evidence against me in 1820 for robbing your aunt, when I was cast for death with another lad about my own age. It is in vain ter you to deny it, as I ran bring► forward 20 witnesses who are all acquainted with that fact. Mr. LAING—You know the prisoner's name ? Long --His .game is William Supwell. Mr. LAING—He induced you to commit the rob bery,,participated of the plunder, and then turned King 'a evidence, and had you sentenced to death ? Long replied in the affirmative, and Mr. LAING observed that it was indeed strange he should subsequently renew his acquaintance with so unprincipled a scoundrel who mild be guilty of such unmanly conduct towards him. Then, turn ing to the prisoner, he said this man has been taken up on suspicion o f murder, in consequence of his known connexion with you. Is your name Smith. Prisoner--I am charged with murder, and that question has nothing to do with it. Mr. LAING—Is your name Stipwell ? Prisoner —That has nothing to do with the murder. Mr. LAING had before him a copy of the indict merit upon which Long had been tried for the rob bery, and out of it he read the following extract " William Sapwell sworn—l am the nephew of Mrs. Sheppard (the prosecutrix), and am by trade a baker.' He then again asked him if, in defiance of that evidence, he would deny his name to be Sapwell. The prisoner made no reply to the question, but seemed to be very impatient under the examination. Mr. Ltwo--There is also another name by which you are well known, and that is, in slang phrase, " Billy the baker." The prisoner denied that he was ever called by such a name. Mr. Lim inquired of Long at what time he had last seen the prisoner previous to the night of the murder, and if he knew where he then resided ? —Long said that the last time he had seen the pri soner was about three months ago, when he acci dentally met him in the City-road, and that he had no knowledge whatever of his residence. The witness Mace observed that the last place he had known the prisoner to reside in was in Old street,'St. Luke's. Keyes, one of the beadles of St. Pancras, said t h a t he recollected! him to have pris o k n e e i lr ) e t , ts a rte b ha tt el k w el imt s ne.e s sw h s o aa p ss some time ago at Bettlebridge. Mr. LAING then observed to the prisoner, " You w ill n ow be indicted in the name of Sapwell, and also in that of Smith." Prisoner (impatiently)— You had better send me at once to a Jury, and then I shall have justice done me. Mr. LAING—Yes, ample justice will be done you, I hope. M r . Berjeaut SELLON said, there could be no doubt of the fact E t d i r ;t os t: n_ e otirdheenlys it. William Sapwell. go Nll%' tl i i rr ic LB tl A y sliNj t eG o 4—fi t t h l e lSe Sessions, and prefer t h e bill of indictment. Mr. Mullett, the chief clerk, observed, that Wed.. nestlny was the day appointed for the witnesses to appear before the Grand Jury, to prefer the bill. Mr. LAING said, that it was best to lose no time, as the prisoner would be tried on Friday. lkie was then fully committed to Nervgate. The strongest hopes are entertained that hil ac. complices in the murder will be very quickly ap. ptehended. THAMES-POLICE. Yesterday Anthony Nyland, an Irish bagpiper, was brought before Mr. I3RODERIP, the sitting Mn aistrate, charged with seriously cutting and in,onting Captain James, Brown, the commander of the Thames, hound to Bermu da with Government stores, with intent to murder him. Mr. Lawson Holmes, grocer, of No. 68, Ratcliff- Nghway, deposed that on Sunday nida, at twenty live minutes plot six o'clock, be was in company With his son-in-law, and was passing Shad„ ell Church, when he observed Capt. Brown end anit Ler gentleman coming down the street, oe the same side of the way. Directly afterwards, he saw the prisoner step from the carriage-way tc the pavement, go behind the two gentlemen with an open knife in his hand, and place his hands across Captain Brown's Mouth. He instantly repeated his attack in the same manner. Witness saw the blood tan from Captain Brown's face, and perceived that his cheek was cut across from the mouth to the ear. The pri toner after committing the act ran across the road with the knife, and he (witness) exclaimed to his son-in-law—" Good God, that fellow has cut the gentleman, follow him." They both pursued him, and he laid hold of the prisoner, at the corner of King David-lane, when he received a violent blow in the face, which made his mouth and nose bleed p , ofusely. A long scuffle then ensued, and ulti mately two policemen came up and secured the prisoner. Mr. BRODERIP—Did you observe the prisoner having any altercation with Captain Brown previous to the attack ? Witness—l did not, Sir. The act was com mitted momentarily, without the least provecation. Mr. James Bourne, grocer, of No. 3, High-streei, Shadwell, confirmed the evidence of his father-iii law. After the prosecutor was cut, he laid hold of the prisoner, but was dragged by him along the pavement a considerable distance. 'I he prisoner struck him a most severe blow, which felled him to the ground, but he kept fast hold of the ruffian's collar, and the latter fell also. A struggle then took. place on the ground and he was severely beaten by the prisoner. During the scuffle the prisoner dropped the knife, which was picked up by one of the by standers and given to witness. Captain Brown, whose face was shockingly dis figured, was here told by Mr. Broderip that his tea Oniony would be dispensed with. The evideney was sufficiently clear, without examining him. The tinforttmate gentleman was then led out of the office by two medical gentlemen, apparently in a very weak state. He was unable,to speak, and had pre viously nodded assent to a question, that lie had never seen the prisoner until he received the wound. Captain John Smith, of the ship Fortitude, of North Shields, was walking arm-in-aim with Cap tain Brown when he received the wound. The prisoner put his hand between their two faces from behind, and drew his hand twice across the prose cutor's . mouth. He was just going to observe, " Captain, that fellow is putting dirt into your - face," when the latter exclaimed, " Oh, God, I um cm," and the blood immediately gushed from the wound over them both. The mouth, cheek, and collar of his coat were all cut. Mr. BRODRRIP—What has become of the cont ? Witnesi--It has since been repaired by a tailor ; the collar was completely cut through. Mr. William James Moore, a surgeon's pupil, stated that Captain Brown was brought into the shop of Mr. Arthur, surgeon, in Ratcliffe-highway, on Sunday evening. Witness found his face com pletely cut across. The wound extended from the angle of the mouth to a little behind the ear, close to the external carotid. Ile applied the proper remedies. Captain Brown has since been unable to speak, and it will be many days before he is able to utter or open his mouth. The wound bled pro . fusely, and is a very deep and dangerous one. George Cocking, a police constable, of the K division, No. 189, stated that on Sunday night his attention was directed to the prisoner, who was in sulting the passengers, and threw a bunch of turnip tops at a lady and gentleman in a chaise. Ile watched the prisoner, who had his bagpipes under his arm, for some distance along the carriage road, but sud denly missed him by his turning to the footpath by the school-house. Soon afterwards be saw the prisoner running, pursued by two gentlemen, with a knife in his hand. The prisoner and Mr. Bourne were struggling when he came up on the ground, and the former had his legs entwined round the gen tleman's. Witness seized him by the throat, whets the prisoner bit him. The witness described an in jury of a serious nature which he received. He 'kept a firm grasp of the prisoner, and with other as sistance removed him to the statien-house, where his cOnduct was very desperate. "William Wheeler, 160, It went up to assist his brother officer, and was repeatedly struck by the prisoner. While bringing him. to the office that morning he showed him the knife, and the prisoner said, , 4 That is the one I cut the gentleman with." The knife was produced, a clasped one, with a very sharp and bright blade, which was identified by Mr. Holmes as the one with which the wound was inflicted. The prisoner was then called on for his defence. He exclaimed, ,‘ Please your Worship, I was in toxicated, and did not know what I was about." Mr. BRODERIP then re-examined the witnesses, who t.aid that the prisoner exhibited no signs of in toxicatiOn whatever. He was quite sober. Cocking and Wheeler the policemen said the prisoner walked through the streets p ith a firm and steady step. Mr. BRODRRIP said the case was clearly proved, and it was the most atrocious and wanton attempt on a man's life he had ever heard. He committed the prisoner for trial for cutting and maiming, with intent, &c., and told him that in the event of a con viction he must expect the worst. The prisoner was then removed. He is a tall, athletic young man, and is well known in the me tropolis as an itinerant musician. ..... . Winifred Jones, a woman about 33 years of age, was next placed at the bar, charged with maliciously cutting and maiming Robert Waugh, a shoemaker, with whom she has for many years cohabited, and inflicting wounds of a serious nature upon him. It appeared in evid e nc e , th a t t h e parties res ide in Bluegitte-fields, Shadwell, and were always consi dered by the neighbours as honest and Industrious persons. On Saturday night,- alter receiving his wages, Waugh went to a publi c -ho use , an d remained there until a late hour. During his absen ce , th e prisoner heard he was i n company with anoth er woman, and, fired with jealousy, she vowed to pu nish him for what she considered big' infidelity to wer& her. On coming home she said but little to him, and be went to bed. After he had been asleep about two hours, she took a common dinner knife and cut him across the right arm juit above the wrist. She w as a b out to repeat the attack, when hejumped out of bed, rushed into the street, with the blood flowing profusely from the wound, and went to a surgeon's, where the wound was dressed. The arm was about tine-third cut through, and all the leaders and sinews were divided. He remained at the house ofa friend during the.whole of Sun*, but refused to give charge of the prisoner. In the evening lie went home, and on reaching the house was informed by one of the lodgers that his wife (the prisoner) had been sharpening a knife, and threatened to murder him when he came home. He, however, exclaimed, " Perhaps she is in a better humour," and went up stairs. , Waugh told the prisoner that he was very weak , from loss. of blood, and requested her to make tea, She an swered, " Yes, my dear, i'll make some ten. sit down." He accordingly seated himself in a chair, resting the wounded arm on the table. He had not sat down inure 'than two minutes when she began to spread the butter on the loaf of bread, and while his attention was directed to some object in the room, she suddenly dropped the bread, and exclaiming" that is the tea I meant for you," cut him with the knife across the nose. Before he had time to recover himself she repeated the blow, and cut him with the knife across the forehead. He im-; mediately ran out of the house, the blood struts iee front his face, end meeting with Wheeler,a soleant of the 1.1 division, informed him of the affair. Wheeler went to the room, and endeavoured to secure the prisoner, Whose conduct was ve violent, and she threw a knife at the officer's hea d, which fortunately missed him. With great difficulty he succeeded in securing her, and lodged her in the station-house. Wheeler ptoduced the knife, which appeared to have been recently sharpened. The face of Waugh was severely cut, and he appeared to have t•tiff. , red much item the loss of blood. The prisoner said she had no intention deed. ously injuring Waugh, to whom she was much tached. Her feelings hail been outrsged by 'Cirutigh' s remaittine absent on Satindav night sad: spending his wages, and she had seen him in cotripsnY wit h another woman. the o ne ei o D .ad j He R I P,:satid disposedthe euse exc eede d o s i h n o t a i i r i o tit e e i t r y . tain'y commit the prisoner for trial on the opal .char ! ..e of cutting and maiming, but she ro ast he brought up again to hear the evidence of the out. geon, who was not then in attendance. The prisoner was then removed in custody. She is rather a goodslooking woman, but sprang to be possessed of very strong feelings.
