Charles King, William Oliver, James Anstead, James Winterbourne, and Daniel Putnam, were in- dicted for having, with divers other persons unknown, entered the dose of Sir William Clayton, called the Home Coppice, on the 7th of January, in the night time, armed with guns and other offensive weapon., with the intention of taking and destroying game. Atkins, an accomplice, deposed that all the prisoners at the bar, along with himself, a man named Druse, and six others not in custody, mustered together at Arleyford on the night in question, and set out for the coppice. All were armed with guns, except Winterbourne. A man named Gillet carried a double-barrel gun. He was the man who struck the Keeper the blow on the head. Cross-examined—Was in custody when lie first spoke of giving evidence in this case. Does not know what he was charged with. Believes it was a little matter of deer stealing.

Knows the pillar in the market-place at High Wycombe. Des not know why he remembers it. Be lieves it was because he was whipped there.—(A laugh.) Another accomplice, named Druse, detailed exactly the same circumst inces as to what took place in the wand, as the former one, and swore to the prisoners being there. - On his cross-examination, be denied that he expected any reward, although he had heard of the reward of 301. having been offered. Ile did not care for the money—(A laugh)—never thought of it. He gave evidence because he was afraid of being prosecuted. Was told he should not be prosecuted if be gave evidence. Other evidence was adduced, after which the Learned JUDGE charged the Jury, who returned a verdict finding James Anstead—Guilty, and the other four prisoners— Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANS] ON- H O USE. Thomas Brown, a lad about 14 years of age, was charged upon suspicion of having got possession of a piece of silk handkerchiefs dishonestly. He had been remanded from a former day, when his mother appeared in the Justice-room, half distracted. She declared that he had been always a most obedient and affectionate child, and that it was impossible he could ever have entertained a thought of wronging any body. Yesterday the owner of the property appeared, and claimed it ; he, however, knew nothing of the prisoner. The prisoner's mother gave up all for lost when she heard that the goods had been stolen ; and her affliction penetrated every heart. The LORD MAYOR called the owner of the property, and communicated with him in private for a few mo ments ; after which he said to the poor worn to, " Can you do any thing with this boy ?" " Yes, my Lord," said she, in a screaming voice, " my friends will send him to sea. A situation is now open fir him." The Loma MAYOR—Very well—take him home. " Oh, God in heaven bless you !" cried the poor crea ture; and down she fell in a fit, from which she was with difficulty recovered. A THICK SKlN.—Patrick Murphy, an Irish hodman, was charged with having broken a window. The complainant stated that Mr. Murphy, in a state of intoxication, capered about the street, to the astonishment and delight of the people. At last he stood opposite to his (complainant's) shop window, and seeing a man in side who was laughing at him, squared at the glass, and, probably thinking that there was no obstruction, shoved his fist right through, after which he cried out, " Blood and ounds ! what a hard skin the fellow has !"—(Laugh ter.) The police with difficulty secured the defendant. The LORD MAYOR—"Why, defendant, your head seems to have been broken ; how did that happen ?"—The defendant, whose head appeared to hive been much bat tered, said, " Oh, my Lord, that's nothin. Me and my comrades were clearing a place of big stones, and we bad to fling them from one to the other, anii I cotched some of e'm with my head instead of my hand ; for I had a little drop of ale too much.—(Laughter.) But it's nothin at all, for it wasn't intended." The LORD Maros—"Well, I am sorry so good na tured a fellow should have got into such a disagreeable scrape. Are you able to pay this gentleman for his window ?"—The officer said that he bad found some silver in the defendant's pocket. _ . Defendant—" Plase your Lordship, I think the man that was inside ought to pay, for if he didn't make mouths at me 1 wouldn't have given him such a licking." The Officer—" You didn't hit the man aC all, for he was five or six yards from the window." Defendant—" Nonsense, man; how could my fists get into this pickle if I didn't wallop him?—(Laughter.) What the devil was the glass in the way ?" The LORD MAYOR—" Have you any work to go to upon your leaving me ?" Defendant—" No, my Lord ; if you have any thing for me to do I'll stick to you to the back bone. I'm out of work because I got disguised, and now you may look on me as a child of your own, for I've no body else to depend upon."—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—" Although you're a hopeful child I'll not adopt you, but if you pay this gentleman for his window I'll discharge you." Defendant—" Why, then, the Lord bless your Lord ship ; I nicer seen a gentleman I'd rather serve, for you've a kind heart to the poor Irish, and I hope you'll get your reward some day." A new live-act Play, entitled Reputation, or the State Secret, was produced last night. Otto, Count of Splugen (Mr. WARDS), Minister to the Landgrave (Mr. G BENNETT), is secretly married to the Princess Frederica (llissT AYLoa),sister to the Landgrave ; for he dreads the fury of his master, who has declared that he would not scruple to shed his sister's blood should sh e marry even an Emperor without his previous sanction. Being discovered by Rodo/ph, a courtier (Mr. ABBOTT), on his re_ turn from a secret interview with the Princess, he, to avoid suspicion, declares to him, and subsequently to the Landgra ve , that his visit was to one Helena, a lowly maiden (Mi ss E . TREE), clo! eto whose house he was discovered. To make his tale the more plausible he bribes Fritz, a little boy (Mis PooLE) whom he pretends to fear has seen him leave Helena's house, not to betray him, knowing that Rudolph sees and overhears him. The boy, however, is forced to confess how he obtained the money by his granddame, Dame Glackern (Mrs. Gums), who forthwith trump e t s to all the neighbours the story that the chaste Helena has received a visit from a cavalier, and the consequence is that she is shunned by the whole of her former companions. Her brother, Hugo, a common artisan (Mr. C. KEAN), is deter_ mined to find out her calumniator, and, tracing the tale to Fritz, takes him to the exterior of the Landgrave palace, where he may see all the courtiers pass, and point out the man who had bribed him, should he be among them. Otto is pointed out to him. He obtains an interview with the Minister, and accuses him as the blighter of his sister's reputation. Otto declares the innocence of Helena, whom he affirms he knows not but by name, and offers Hugo gold ; but the latter will be satisfied with nothing but Otto's public evidence that his tale is false, by proving an alibi on the night in question. As this could be done only by the betrayal of his important secret, the request is of course refused. Hugo vows he will have justice and revenge ; and, shortly after, through a tissue of circum stances which it would be impossible to detail here, not only becomes possessed of Ott.i's secret, but even of a letter written to him by Frederica. Otto, seeing in him a dangerous enemy, causes him to be seized and imprisoned; but, be fore this can be effected, Hugo has placed the fatal let ter in the hands of Anselm (Mr. HAINEs), the lover of Helena. Anselne encounters the Landgrave, who has come in disguise to see the vaunted and humble favourite of his Minis ter: a conflict arises between them, in which the Landgrave possesses himself of his sister's letter, which is addressed in an envelope to himself, but not before he has received a pistol wound from Anscbit. On discovering the whole truth, his rage knows no bounds : he orders his sister for immediate execution, and passes a similar sentence on Otto, but expires as he is about to give the signal to the headsman. Frederica, as his next heir, is instantly snatched from the block. The necessity for the concealment of her marriage is at an end ; Otto is proclaimed her husband, she is hailed Lanclgravinc, and the cloud which hung over the reputation of the artizan's sister is thus dispelled. These incidents have been managed with considerable skill. From first to last, it is scarcely pos sible to anticipate the incidents; and, consequently, the interest is well sustained throughout, even to the ca tastrophe, which takes us by surprise at the last moment. Mr. C. KEAN's Hugo was an unequal performance, sometimes marked, if not with an ignorance of, at least with a non-atten tion to, his author's meaning; but we were for the most part satisfied with his performance, and occasionally ranch more than satisfied. WARDE'S Otto was a judicious piece of acting. ELLEN TREE was interesting and natural as Helena. The piece was given out for repetition this evening by Mr. KEAN, amidst some confusion, in which the applause predominated. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) HAY M A RKETS.--iAt per Load of 36 Trusses.)

Mr. O'CONNELL'S MEETlNG.—Yesterday James Shiels, better known by the nick• name of Tit Shiels, one of the oldest members of the swell mob, was brought before Mr. RAWLINSON, the sitting Magistrate, in custody of Keys, an officer. On being placed in the dock he was recognised by the worthy Magistrate as a very old acquaintance. Francis Keys went to Mr. Fairlie's wharf in Cumber land market (where a meeting was convened by Mr. O'Con• nell's friends to petition Parliament against the alleged coer cive Irish measure); and, after remaining a few minutes on the look out, he observed the prisoner try, with his light and fairy fingers, the sense of an Irish gentleman's pocket, but being "to let," he attempted a second, from which he drew the pocket handkerchief produced. Mr. O'Connell was addressing the meeting at the time, and the prisoner, in order to prevent detection, amused the bystanders with an occasional " Arrah !"—" Bravo !"—" Go along Dan ;" and it was during one of these expressions of approbation towards the "agitator" that he purloined the handkerchief. Mr. RAwtxxsoN—Well, Mr. Shiel, what have you to say to this ; I suppose you are the most expert and notorious pickpocket in London? Prisoner (hewing)— I have been very unfortunate, Sir. Mr. RawuNsox—Unfortunate ! I think you may consider yourself fortunate that you've not been hung long since. You are committed for three months. Keys (holding out a pair of spectacles)--I found these on him, your Worship, ami if it meets your approbation I'll give them up to hiro. Mr. RAWLINSON —Oh, no ! I don't think you ought to do that, for perhaps they belong to Mr. O'Connell. This remark produced considerable merriment in the office, and the prisoner was then locked up. MURDER AT NEWBALD.—On Thursday, ROBERT METCALF, a youth about 18, was committed to the House of Correction at Beverley, for further examina tion, charged with the wilful murder of his master, CHARLES VAusE, jun., of Newbald, cordwainer. His master had that morning been chastising him for neglecting his work ; and gave him a blow on the head, when the prisoner seized one of the knives from the stall where he was sitting, and stabbed him to the heart. He died in stantly.-- York Herald. The case of murder to which Sir ROBERT PEEL so feelingly and eloquently alluded in his speech on Friday, was that of a farmer and his wife, named DILLON. The murder, which took place under the circumstances stated, was committed near Kildare, in the county of Lime rick, and was the result of one of those combinations, of too frequent and fearful recurrence in the south of Ireland, arising out of the taking of lands. There were six of the murderers executed on the testimony of the daughter of the Dillons, an intelligent girl about eleven, whose de scription of the events she had witnessed, and identifica tion of the murderers as they were tried on successive days, is described as a most heartrending and impressive scene. It cannot be too often repeated, that if Ministers be desirous of leaving their friends in the House of Commons an inch of ground to stand upon, when supporting the present Bill for the suppression of outrage in Ireland, they will supply those friends with some answer to the question—" What relief is intended for the sufferings of the Irish peasant, whose crimee, the indirect, but unquestionable, fruit of his sufferings, are now to be so rigorously punished ?" The demoralized condition of the country for which we are legislating has in it nothing of amiraculous or even mysterious nature. The mass of the people have ever been oppressed and certain descriptions of them have of tare years endured an aggravation of want and wretched ness never before experienced. Much of this misery can be clearly traced, and the whole of it, however unjustly, is imputed by the multitude themselves, to bad laws, brutally administered; and the law being thus regarded, not as a protection, but a persecutor, every violation of it assumes the i:ha racter of a fair incursion upon the common enemy,— as the sally of a garrison against an hostile army,- the only means of revenge or rescue left in the hands of the blockaded and harassed p,eople. Perverse circumstances, and disastrous ❑sages growing out of them, hare helped the operation of improvident' laws. A semibarbarous and distracted country offers few temptations to voluntary residents. Vast numbers of Irish landowners have therefore become absentees, in addition to those who, with properties in England, naturally prefer to cultivate the re lations of landlord and tenant amongst the more civilized of two communities. But frequent, or indeed constant, separation, impairs, if not de stroys, that sympathy of a gentleman with his tenants, which would lead him, if not utterly heartless, to sacrifice part of his own selfish advantages for their general well-being. The great Irish absentee landlord, therefore, and after his example, the resident likewise, sees nothing in 5,000 acres and their inhabitants but the materials and machinery for providing so much money. The people are, like negroes, but animals to work the estate. The highest possible rent is, with such a race of gen tlemen, the only object worth a moment's solicitude. Unhappily, the want of commerce, of manufactures, of agricultural or other productive enterprise, and the consequently languid requisition for labour, in a country thickly stocked with inhabitants, leaves the latter no means of subsistence but the direct produce of the soil itself. Land each poor family must have to exist upon or perish. The competition for land, then, is the wild phi enzy of hunger. They bid against each other extravagant prices for the most miserable soils. The landlord, sensible to no more generous or enlight ened consideration than that of snatching the highest rent he is able, and not feeling it his duty to calculate what a tenant ought to pay, but only to wring from him the uttermost farthing that eagerness to outbid his neighbours will stimulate a starving wretch to promise,—the landlord, we say, lets his 5, 10, or 15 acres on these disgraceful terms. If the rent can by any means be scraped together, it is all he need care for. How minute and pitiful the surplus—how in adequate for the maintenance of human beings—how liable, from bad seasons, or a thousand other causes, to be reduced to no surplus at all, and the tenant',. family with it to inevitable death by famine—is no affair of the Irish landlord. The law of Ireland compels him not to contribute a single shilling to the relief or cure of his dying fellow-creatures. One poor tenant perishes, a successor is promptly found for him—one of the same caste, at enmity with the laws, reckless from habitual destitution, credulous of vague advantage from every experimental crime or folly proposed to him by artful instigators, his mind overcharged with fierce and vindictive passions—one whom fortune has already made invulnerable—who has no respect for his neighbour's life, nor value for his own—of such men is composed a large pro. portion of the Irish tenantry. What interest can such men feel in peace and order, and law, and pre perty, and political liberty, and those other fine things which we name " blessings ?" What he wants is bread. Why, a population so situated must be bad subjects—must be ready for all, the most flagitious outrages—must be a proper instru ment for all insidious plots, and schemes, and ma chinations, against constituted power of every de scription—since that has never been exercised, at least successfully, to protect, but invariably to de feat, or persecute, or crush him. Then what is the palpable remedy for this mass or evil which Sir R. Peel, in his incidental defence of the Irish Church, glanced at, as the sum of the existing " relations be tween landlord and tenant ?" Undoubtedly some legislative measure, which by its indirect opera tion—for directly we know that such a remedy could not be made applicable—might check the un limited growth of rent, by showing the landlord that he could not pauperize his whole neighbour hood with impunity—a measure which would con sequently raise the tenant from his present incurable wretchedness and desperation, would afford him some sense of interest in the common welfare of the community, in a general respect for the fruits of industry, and a reliance on, and obedience to, the laws. Give every Irish subject, like every British subject, a legal right to be secured against starva tion. We profess no indifference to the vices of the English poor law system, as it has been for many years administered. Dreadful abuses have been interwoven with it, and, short of Con demning men to die of hunger, which the want of a poor law in Ireland does actually accomplish, there are few mischiefs more serious, than those ascribed to the modern mismanagement of our English poor laws. Of that mismanage ment, or the greater portion of it, we trust it will be made evident when the report on the poor law system appears, that the administration may be pu rified ; but at all events it is perfectly monstrous that absentee Irishmen, and English absentees from Irish estates, whether in or out of office, should pester the country with their mystifications upon the difficulty, and embarrassment, and complexity (and a deal more such nonsense) of the question of giving poor laws to Ireland. "It will cut a deep hole in the property" of these mystifiers forsooth ! We hope a poor law will be established for Ireland, so effective towards the relief of the starving poor, and eventually towards the restraint of landlord rapacity, as, if requisite, to cut deep into the rents of those estates which have been unnaturally swollen, to the grievous cost of the peasantry; and if the rich suffer for it, have they not well merited this retribution ? But when men talk of such a national blot and misery —of that condition of the vast bulk of an entire people which has manifestly been the principal cause (we mean their poverty) of whatever is most de praved and shocking in their moral conduct, are we to be told that a bill of pains and penalties is the cure for such a world of wrong ? What, suppose by the mixed civil and military machinery, screwed up as tight as willing hands can make it,—suppose that lawless outrages be suppressed for a season, for that brief season during which it is to be pre sumed that a reformed Legislature will submit to have despotism installed in place of the law of Eng land,—what shall we have gained by it, if the causes of the agrarian demoralization be left untouched ? • One hundred and ninety-six murders, it seems, were perpetrated in a given time, and within a single county. Whv, what were the motives to such a horrible butchery - ? The Irish may be bad enough, hut do they commit murder for nothing, or just to keep their hands in ? They are, we repeat, bad enough, but that would be too 'extravagant. Why, then, we say, lotift-f% the sources of these awful proceedings' earth into those circumstances i ' land which induce the people to i l ltilirßiteites l "lt is not surely the nature of Irishmen or of any other people to murder wantonly, with some chance— possibly not a great deal—of being hanged. But, at least, when Ministers ask so much from Parlia ment—even a total surrender of the Constitution into their hands—have not Parliament and the press a right to call for an unequivocal statemeht of what we are to get in return ? Is military law to be eternal ? Then if not, remove those tendencies of the peasant mind which, so long as they continue, cannot fail to record themselves in letters of blood and fire, the instant we lay aside again the power of stifling the expression of them. As yet we not that anything specific or effectual, save only the abolition of the vestry cess, has been promised by his Majesty's Ministers. Do they still fear the House of Lords or the Court ? How inconceiTably child ish.— Times. The debate on the Bill for suppressing Distur bances in Ireland is again adjourned. It is under stood, however, that the debate will close to-night. Mr. Barron, of Waterford, admitted that " murders were committed now, but they were also committed formerly. In fact, a state of things s'milar to that which now existed had existed for the last seventy years. Coercive measures had been frequently tried, and they had always failed. The Insurrec tion Act had been renewed several times, and the land had beet governed under it for many years." This is the statement of an opponent of the Bill. Let us hear the statement of a supporter of the Bill, Mr. Emerson Tennant --- " These additional powers were not all that was necessary tti put down disturbances. No ; the groundwork of disturbanCe in Ireland was poverty—(Hear, hear)—and predial agitatiod paved the way for political agitation. The fiercest agitation would fail of success, if they would only direct their attentimi to this point. As it was, he found the people reckless front want, and too ready to join in any scheme, however despe. rate. Let them alleviate the condition of the Irish peasantry —afford them opportunities of obtaining remunerative em ployment—snatch them from starvation—and give a legal maintenance for the helpless and the infirm.—(General cheer ing.) Let them do this, and agitation would cease. But if they did not do this, the reign of agitation would be perennial. (Hear, hear, hear.) He regarded this measure as precau tionary, and not final." It is thus admitted on all hands that the outrages In Ireland are caused by the destitute condition of the great body of the people. The competitinti for land is such, that the landlord takes literally tliei whole produce, and wretches are constantly driven from their possessions, burning with desire to take vengeance on those who have taken these poesese sions over their heads. The case of the detailed by Sir Robert Peel, was of this description. The present Bill may produce what other Insurrec• tion Acts have produced before a temporary cessa don from outrage. We admit this; but the com pression removed, the disease will again exhibit it self with more malignity than ever. Landlords may for a time carry on their processes of clearing; that is, consigning their thousands to destruction by fa mine and disease; and this will again be met by (n -ear ized outage and murder. In short, the condition of Ireland seems to be a perpetual oscillation between destruction under the law, and destruction above the law. The landlord one day consigns his thousands to destitution and despair ; this is during the supremacy of the law; the next, a sense of common calamity leads these victims to the law to make victims of those whom the landlord used as his instruments under the law. The forced tranquillity under this Bill may be de scribed as merely a change of the mode of destruc tion, which will in due time be succeeded by that which has been kept down by coercion. To all those Members who vote for the Bill as the intro duction to a system of remedial mea ,, tires going to he bottom of the evil, we may observe, that the Ministry have positively told us they do not intend to propose any measures of that nature. To Sir Robert Peel and all those who reproach Ministers with fomenting disorders by concessions, we would answer, that he and his party, by their long-conti nued resistance to measures they at length conceded, as they said, not to justice, but to fear, impressed on the Irish people the lesson that theycould only hope o gain amelioration by agitation. The secret cause of the dislike to the Bill which is beginning to ma nifest itself among the people of England is the fear hat if agitation were mastered, all hope of further concession must be abandoned. The sinecure Church, that badge of the slavery of the nation, would have remained for ever intact, but for agita tion. Agitation is an evil ; but sometimes evils are olerated as a means of getting rid of greater evils.— Morning Chronicle. We find that the principle of the amendment of Mr. Tennyson is not understood by several Members. The preposition to postpone the Bill for short pe riods, until the House and the Uevernment shall be persuaded as to the necessity for it, is the mildest mode in which the Bill could be met.—lt enables any gentleman to vote for it, without pledging him for or against the Bill hereafter; and the Govern ment are the lust persons who ought to feel dissa tisfied with it, except, indeed, on the ground that it is calculated, if rightly understood—which they have endeavoured to prevent—to induce Members inclined tosup on this sub je portthemtotant At e a any rate, having middle and dispassionate beenais)sionate course proposed, there is no alternative but to vote for it, or support the first reading; and they who object to that, must prefer voting for delay to this alterna tive. Those who feel objections which would at once lead them to throw the Bill out of the House without any further consideration will of course see the prudence of subduing the violence of those ob jections for the moment, rather than adopt the ano malous course of voting for the first reading of this Bill, merely because the amendment is not suffi ciently decisive. After this question is disposed of, the Bill may he met by opposition of a more direct kind.—Morning Chronicle. UNWHOLESOME FOOD.—M. CHEVALIER, of Paris, lately met with an instance in which six persons, in two different families, after having partaken of sausages, were seized with alarming symptoms, such as long-con tinued vomiting, acute pain in the bowels, and severe purging. Suspicion of poisoning having arisen, the food was subjected to a chyrnical analysis, but without leading to the detection of any deleterious agent. The mischief, therefore, is supposed to have arisen from the spontaneous changes which such articles undergo if badly prepared, or kept too long. M. LABAKAACQUE taw tie same effects result last summer from eating a pi* which had been purchased at a cook-shop, and kept only four days after. Minute examination led to the detection of no copper or other mineral poison. A still more remarkable illustration of the bad effects of certain kinds of food, which have un dergone certain changes not yet well explained, is related by Dr. PAULUS, of Sulz. Seven persons who ate some Italian cheese were taken ill with violent disorder of the stomach and bowels ; three of them die d.—Medical Gaz. SIR WALTER SCOTT.—Mr. GOTT, of Armley-house, near Leeds, has a most interesting memento ul this great man, viz., a picture by WILLIAM ALLAN of the bard, with eleven or twelve of his literary and scientific contemporaries regaling in the dwelling of the Ettrick Shepherd, after a two days' trout-fishing amongst the mountains. The interior presents a perfect specimen of a Scottish cottage, the spell against witchcraft not being forgotten. The guests, who are all attired, in !vatic cos tume, ate seated round the table. Professor WlLsosr (we think) has risen to propose the host's health, and is in the act of reading an apt passage from the " Queen's Wake." The poet, evidently somewhat embarrassed at the compli ment, has thrown himself back in his chair, and, half smiling, scratches his bead, and seems to say, "Oh ! I cannot deserve all this." We never saw finer discrimi nation in any figure, or one that worked out a sentiment so clearly. Sir WALTER, with his hands joined within each other, is regarding his friend with a fixed and affec tionate, and we had almost said tearful, interest, that is delightfully rendered. All the great men who have shed such a lustre on the northern metropolis during the last quarter of a century are introduced, each one having eat , or his portrait.
