DREADFUL DEATH BY FIRE --- Onyriday, Mr. Joseph Payne, Deputy Coroner for London, held an inquest a t St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body . of Mary Carter, aged twenty-two. late servant to Mrs. Cress well, of 48, Southampton-street, Pentonville. Mr. J. Lawson, clerk in an insurance office, said he lodged at Mrs. Creswell's, and on Thursday morning, about two o'clock, a strange sort of smell made him get out of bed and open his bedroom door. Finding much smoke ascending the stairs, he went down to the kitchen, which he found full of condensed smoke. He saw a fire in .the grate and the burning fragments of a female's dress on the floor and flying about the kitchen. On looking closer he saw on the floor, huddled up, a human body, and he said, " Why do you not get up ?" Deceased re pli e d , i n a f a i nt vo i ce, " Oh, dear, I cannot. Witness raised an alarm, and Mrs. Cresswell's son came down stairs, and they opened the window, and the smoke having escaped, they- saw deceased lying On the floor desperately burned and deprived by the action of tire of every vestige of clothing. Mr. Searle, a surgeon, was called in, who pronounced the case of deceased hopeless, and advised her immediate removal to that hospital; which was done. Heard Mrs. Creswell tell deceased, between eleven and twelve the night previous, to go to bed. Ann Sheil, sister of Harley's ward, said when deceased was admitted into it she was quite collected, though she was aware she should not live. At the time of the accident she said she was washing out the kitchen, and she supposed a spark from the grate had ignited her dress. She said her mistress was very cruel ,to her; that she had not been in bed since the Sunday night previous, and that early on Monday morning, whilst in bed, her mistress came down stairs (de ceased slept in the kitchen) and threw a pitcher of cold' water over her, saying, "You shall not sleep in bed whilst you are in my house." She said she was going to leave her situation on the Thursday, and had a great deal of work to do undone, and was afraid to go to bed, her mistress was so violent. She frequently, up to the hour of her death, would exclaim, " My mistress, oh, my cruel mistress !" Mr. Jackson, house-surgeon, said deceased died on the fore noon of Thursday of extensive burns all over her body. She was quite sensible up to the time of her death. Jane Creswell, the mistress, denied the truth of deceased's statement to the sister of the hospital. Deceased had been with her four months, and was warned to leave on Thursday, on account of her dirty and sleepy disposition. Witness and her daughter heard of the accident, but did not go down to see deceased. She supposed that deceased had gone to bed at the usual time, but did not go to see her. The Coroner and jury thought that females rather than men ought to have attended to deceased as soon as the acci dent was known, - and that, though there was no legal crimi nality in the witness's . conduct, it was highly reprehensible, and she would have to answer to her God for it. Verdict, " Accidental death, and that the mistress was Censurable for inhumanity." HORRIBLE MURDER AT NEW CASTLE. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, THURSDAY.—The inhabitants of this town were thrown into a state of great excitement this pion-ling by a rumour that a tragedy similar in many of its main features to the Savings' Bank murder, which created so great a sensation throughout the country, had been per etrated. On inquiry it was ascertained that a woman had fallen a victim to her husband, and that the life of the latter was precarious, from his having taken poison after com mitting the barbarous act. The catastrophe was dis covered by a cousin of the murdered woman, named Ann Grant, calling at her lodgings to see her. She found the door locked, and knowing that the husband had often threatened violence to his wife, she procured a du plicate key of the door, and on opening it saw the woman and her husband stretched upon the floor. She instantly alarmed the neighbours, and fortunately a surgeon, Mr. Carr, was passing at the time, it being then about eleven o'clock, and he rendered immediate assistance. The woman, it was found, had been dead two hours at least, and the man was totally insensible from intoxication. The usual remedies were applied to the man, and persevered in for upwards of three hours before he could be pronounced out of danger. On examining the premises a still was discovered, and a consi derable quantity of material in various stages of preparation, besides some whiskey, which had doubtless been manufac tured by the parties. On clearing out the fire, which was lighted, two razor blades were found, and the woman's throat had been cut from ear to ear. The bed-clothes were tied up in a bundle, and the bedstead taken down ; and it is conjectured that the man and woman having qu - arrelled, the latter had made up her mind to leave, and had made these preparations in pursuance of that inten tion. She seems to have made considerable resistance, her hands being cut in two or three places, and there being two 'distinct wounds in her neck, one more oblique than the other. 'On the man recovering sensibility, he raised himself up and looked in the direction towards the murdered woman, who lay stretched upon the floor of their miserable apartment, and it was evident he was conscious of having committed some ,great crime, although he affected to be ignorant of and in different to his situation. The man's name is Monk Sher wood, he was formerly in the Royal Artillery, and has been married to his unfortunate wife nearly 13 years. An inquest was held this afternoon at four o'clock on view of the body, hut after identifying the parties, it was adjourned to Monday. in the meantime the Magistrates have interfered to prevent the ends of justice being defeated. The man is strictly - watched, and will be removed this evening to the gaol under the Magistrates' warrant. BURGLARY AND ATTEMPT TO MURDER. On Saturday information was received at the dif ferent police-stations of a burglary and robbery being 'committed on the previous evening near Gravesend, zunder The following circumstances : It appeared that Mr. Peter Aspinall, a farmer, in :an extensive business at West Tilbury, near Graves end, had a lot of sheep driven into that town where he sold them to a butcher, and in addition to other unonoy he received a 51. Bank of England note, with the name " Newham" written in blue ink on the back, which on his return home he deposited in a store-room in his dwelling-house. In the course of the evening he paid a visit to his father, who also re sides in the neighbourhood, and during his absence, about eight o'clock, a knock being heard at the out ward door, the housekeeper asked who was there, when she receivei for answer, that it was no person who intended any harm, and it was only a poor man asking for a drink of beer. She then opened the door to peep out, which enabled the visitor to place his foot on the threshold and prevent her closing it again. A second man next made his appear ance, and fearing something wrong was intended the housekeeper directed a workman, who happened to be in the house, to go to the brewhouse, and bring some beer, whioh he did, hut the moment he entered the door he received a blow over the eye, which felled him to the ground, where he . was left with the door locked upon him. Th e fi rst man then returned to the dwelling-house, wh ere h e had left his companion, and having armed the er mselves with a poker and tongs seized hkeep by the throat, and compelled her, under the most determined threats, to convey them thiough every part of the house, and although she assured them she could not tell where her master usually deposited his money, they b ro k e i nto every apartment without obtaining any plunder, until they entered the store-room, the door of which they forced with the poker, and from a drawer they took 301. and two 51. notes, one of which was that already mentioned. O ne o f them then demanded something to eat, which the other objected to, as they had de layed long enough, and after using the most dreadful threats towards the housekeeper, if she attempted to give any alarm, they went away, having been in the house upwards of half an hour. On Thursday Mr. William . Forster, a cheesemonger and grocer, &c., at Kensington Gravel-pits, appeared at the Ham mersmith Police-office, to answer a summons for assaulting a fe. male, named Mary Tuckwell. On the evening of Saturday last, between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, the complainant went .to the defendant's shop, and ordered half a pound of butter, the like quantity of lump sugar, an ounce of tea, and a quarter of a hundredweight of coals, to her lodgings, as she had done before, " laying down on the counter at the same time 25., the articles amounting to is. 9d, Shortly after she had returned tome the defendant's boy brought the things, and threepence change. Pre sently he returned again, saying his master had sent him for the 21., which had not been paid. The complainant sent word back that she had paid it, and put on her bonnet to go to the shop, but was met by the defendant, who forced her into the room, and demanded the money or the goods, and on the complainant persisting that she had paid, he forcibly took the articles from a cupboard in which they had been placed, and the threepence from the table; and on the complainant endeavouring to prevent him, he struck her, and knocked her over &table, and quitted the house. The defendant denied both the 4sYsalW/ t4b.e f facS cAlte money having been paid, and he calledie%sess crifhjprAMat the time, to prove that the money as ThWitei T. The witness, however, admitted t od ead when the complain. ant put it '43crWte.taiel,kl,44l ver might be the truth as to the ~ .1 11;5 the fact of the assault.

I (Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.) IN THE MATTER OF JOHN ARDLEY WOOLMAN. A solicitor, whose name we were unable to learn, in the course of the day addressed the Learned Commis sioner, saying, that if his Honour was at leisure, he was anxious to call his attention to, and to ask his opinion on; a question which appeared to him to be one of the last importance with reference to the meaning and intent of the sth and 6th Victoria, as applicable to the filing petitions by parties who, being in a state of insolvency, fly for relief to the provisions of that statute. The in solvent in question had filed a petition, which had come before Mr. Commissioner Evans, by whom it had been dismissed. But— --- i6G:TOEart;;;iorter HOLROYD was of opinion, that, as the matter had already been before Mr. Commissioner Evans, any application on the subject had better be made to that gentleman. The solicitor observed, that Mr. Evans was not sitting at the present time, and as he conceived the question he meant to raise was one of general importance, and far thermore that it was a point which called for a decision by the Commissioners as an authority and guide-for the profession, as well as for the public, he was inclined to pressior liberty to -open and submit the question upon the present occasion, the more especially as, living at some distance from the metropolis as he did (Colchester), he might not be able to do so before the object he had in view had been altogether frustrated. Mr. Commissioner Eloutovn still thought that, as the case had been before another Commissionec, any obser vation in reference to it ought to be submitted to that gentleman. At all events, he himself should be careful to avoid offering any opinion on the matter until he had conferred with his brother Commissioner. The solicitor said, that although the first petition of the insolvent had undoubtedly been before Mr. Commis sioner Evans, it by no means followed that the threat ened second petition of the same insolvent would like wise come before him. The first petition had been brought before Mr. Commissioner Evans, by whom it was dis missed. But now the insolvent had given notice by ad vertisement of his intention under the same Act of Par liament to seek relief from his liabilities by means of a second petition. Then the question arose, and of very great importance— Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD could not entertain the matter. There was quite enough business which, of ne cessity-, would come before him that day to occupy the whole of his time, and he could not attend to any other matter. It would be quite sufficient for him to enter upon this question hen it should, if it. ever did, arise in the regular proceedings of the Court. The solicitor iiith firmness said, that the case in point of fact was not before Mr. Commissioner Evans, nor indeed before any Learned Commissioner; but the question was, nevertheless, one of the utmost importance. Here was an insolvent who had filed a petition for relief under a particular Act of Parliament, which petition the Commissioner• before whom it had been brought had dismissed. Well, now the insolvent had given notice• of another petition, and his Honour must well know that upon the party coming up under that petition, he would obtain his " protection." The question, therefore, arose as to whether, for the same liabilities, an insolvent was empowered (one petition for relief having been dis missed) to file a second petition, and so gain a protection against his creditors? That was the point he was anxious to offer to the notice of the Commissioner, and he apprehended that it was one not simply of indi vidual interests, but one of the greatest public and ge neral importance, and of so imperative a character, especially in the present instance, as to demand the con sideration and public judgment of the Commissioners of that Court. In itself the simple question was, whether an insolvent, who had had one petition dismissed, could, under the Act of Parliament, present a second petition for relief from the liabilities which had been set forth on his first application? Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD - here said, that if the ap plicant would put his question and observations into writing, and forward them to the Court, the Commis sioners would take them into consideration. The solicitor remarked, that as his Honour did not feel competent, under the circumstances, to entertain the case, it might probably be better that he should offer his objections when his second petition should come before the Court. After all, perhaps, he ought to op pose the second petition, on the ground to which he had adverted. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 18, 1844. attended for the purpose of making the following appli cation :-- From their statements it appeared that a few days ago a person named Henry Gould offered in pledge a silver watch at the shop of Mr. Attenborough, and the article answering the descriytion of a. watch stolen a short time previously, information of which had been sent round to the trade. Gould was accordingly questioned on the subject, and not giving satisfactory answers, he was given into custody and brought up to this Court. When, however, before the magistrates, the accused gave such a satisfactory account of the manner in which the watch came into his possession that he was immediately dis charged. • The applicants said that since then Mr. Gould had commenced an action for false imprisonment against Mr. Attenborough,and that notice to that effect had been served upon that gentleman. Mr. COTTINGHAM said that he remembered the cir cumstance of Mr. Gould being brought before him and discharged. That he (Mr. Cottinghwa) was of opinion, under the 7th and Bth of. George IV., the pawnbroker was justified in acting in the manner he had done, and that Mr. Gould had no . erounds for an action. That it was given in evidence before him, when Mr. Gould went to pledge the watch he gave two different addresses, and the article answeringexactly the description of the stolen one, the shopman had therefore given him into custody. The. Magistrate added, that in the event of the action been proceeded with, he,had no objection to attend as- a witness, and he advised the applicant to apply to the judge for security from Mr. Gould for payment of the costs, in the event of his persevering in bringing on the action. The applicant, having thanked the Magistrate, then withdrew. IMPUDENT ROBBERT.-Toro young fellows, named Ball and Payne, belonging to a very daring gang of juvenile thieves, were charged with entering the shop of a poor woman at Camberwell, and robbing it of the till, containing a quantity of silver. The comi.lainant said that while she was sitting in her parlour, Seeing a lad enter, she went there and found another person, both of whom rushed out, taking with them the till, containing a quan tify of silver, and also a coral necklace. The empty till was found in a ditch near at hand ; and two .witnesses came forward, nho identified the prisoners as having committed the robbery. There was another charge against the prisoners of robbing a gentleman's larder of an aitch-bone of beef and a leg of mutton. The MAGISTRATE said thathe should commit the prisoners on the first charge, but should have them brought up, again for the other robbery. The COMMISTIONER thought that would be the better course. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. • HOME CIRCUIT, Maidstone, March 16. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury.) This morning was specially appointed for disposing of several indictments and other proceedings connecter with the Watermen's arvi the Stone Pier Companies al Greenwich, wh9 have for a long . time been in litigation. There were cross-indictments Instituted by the several parties, the object of the Stone Pier Company being to show that the Watermen's, or Floating Pier, was a nui sance, and one of the principal proprietors of the Stone Pier Company was, on the other hand, indicted for a nuisance, in having caused an embankment to be built on the river. Mr. Platt, Mr. M. Chambers, Mr. C. Jones, and Mr. W. Jones, were for the Watermen's Company; and Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Sergeant Channell, and two other Learned Gentlemen, were on the other side. After one of the cases had been partly entered into, some conversation took place between the Learned Counsel, which eventually terminated in nominal ver dicts being returned ; and it was understood, that the whole matter was to be referred to a Learned Counsel, who was to have the power to make an amend as to the respective rights of the parties. These caws going off in this manner very materially shortened the duration of the Assize, for if they had been gone through with, they must have occupied a very considerable time. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE proceeded to dispose of two common jury causes, and the business on this side terminated about two o'clock. CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. BARON ALDERSON.) Mary Ann Walton, age 20, a good-looking young person, and who was stated in the calendar to be a married woman, was charged with stealing a silver watch, some gold shirt studs, and other articles, the property of Wil liam D'Oyley Alpin. Mr. Rodwell appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Home defended the prisoner. The circumstances under which the charge was made against the prisoner have been recently very fully de tailed in the report of the examination which took place before the magistrates at Chatham, and it will, there fore, not be necessary to repeat them on the present occasion at any length. The prosecutor is a lieute nant in the army, and stationed with the depot of his regiment at Chatham, and it would appear that he had carried on a most disgusting career of profligacy. On being cross-examined by Mr. Horne, he admitted that the prisoner had cohabited with him and was in his quarters for several days, and it appeared that she had taken the opportunity thus afforded her of removing the property which she afterwards pledged. He also admit ted that he had seduced a young girl, named -Angelina Skey, and that he was charged before the magistrates at Chatham with assaulting her aunt %then she came to en deavour to induce her neice to leave his quarters. He like wise admitted that a number of other women had been living with him in his quarters. It further appeared that the young woman Skey was almost an orphan—one of her parents being dead, and the other hopelessly mad in a lunatic asylum, and while in this unprotected state, she had fallen a victim to the prosecutor. Mr. Baron ALDERSON, in the course of the case, ad dressed the prosecutor, and told him that his conduct was most unmanly and disgraceful, and with considerable warmth he ordered him to get out of his sight. Mr. HORNE, on behalf of the prisoner, commented with becoming severity upon the conduct of the prosecutor, and urged that the prisoner had merely taken the pro perty under the mistaken impression that she was en titled to do so by reason of the nature of her intimacy with the prosecutor. The Learned Counsel, in the course of his address, said he trusted that the Court would admonish him, and endeavour to induce him to refrain in future from continuing in such a disgraceful course of conduct as had now been proved against him. Mr. Baron'ALDEnsox expressed his opinion that it would require a higher power than that of the Court to effect this. He thought he might as well endeavour to make the Ethiopian change his colour, or the leopard his spots, as to expect that any observations he might make would have any effect. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of the robbery, and she was sentenced to four months' imprisonment. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Stafford, March 14. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) Caroline Harris was indicted for a felony in attempting, by flagitious means, used towards one Jane Pountney, to pre vent the birth of a child. The evidence is unfit for any detail. The child was born dead. His LORDSHIP directed the jury to acquit the prisoner, as although there was no doubt she was a most wicked woman, still the case was not one in which:it would be safe to con vict her of so serious an offence under the circumstances. The Judge then consulted with Mr. Baron Parke, respecting two other indictments against the prisoner for misdemeanour aris ing out of similar circumstances, and on his return to the Crown Court he directed the jury to acquit the prisoner on those charges also. The case was one which has agitated the public mind very much, Peter a rid Staunton,crat s ed r ir e g a e t on a , ox a ie g t e y nt a i s em to an th iy es ok es o ul i t n . g man, was indicted for committing an assault upon Emma Brown,at Brierly-hill, on the 24th of February, with intent, &c. The facts of the case we re most extraordinary, the surgeon . being fessionally t chargo the female. ed with acting improp er l y w h en attending pro- It is impossible to give the evidence. Six and delicate gave etheprisoner an exempl ary character for gentlemanly conduct. He had a tt ended several l a of them in their confinements. The JUDGE having summed up, the jury immediately re turned a verdict of not guilty. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) Mari Ann Meadows, 17, was indicted for unlawfully taking Caroline Allen out of the possession, and against the will of her father, on the sth February, at Wolverhampton. The prisoner, on the day named in the indictment, met the girl, who is about twelve years of age, on the road, with a basket of bread, for which she had been sent by her parents. The prisoner persuaded her to go to Birmingham, saying that she would give her 51. and take her up to London with him. The child consented. Upon this admission being made, the JUDGE directed an acquittal, the girl being above ten years of age, and a con senting party, putting the offence out of the jurisdiction of the Court, under the statute on which the indictment was framed. The business of the Assizes terminated at five o'clock. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, March 14. CROWN COURT.---(Before Mr. BARON ROLFE.) Joseph Nobte waS indicted for the manslaughter of Elijah Holroyd, at Halifax, by stabbing him with a knife. -- - Mr. Hale and Mr. Denman conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was not defended by counsel. It appeared that on Christmas night the prisoner, with some others, had been spending the evening at a public house, which he left about 12 o'clock. There was at that time another person with him, an acquaintance, who had asked permission to sleep in his bed for the night. On ar riving at the prisoner's house, the prisoner sat down by the fire to smoke a pipe, and the other went to bed. Shortly after, voices were heard outside the door, and Noble rose, as if to fasten it. Before this was done, however, Holroyd came in, and, apparently in a drunken frolic, began pulling off the bed-clothes, which he threw about the room, and let the bedstead down at the feet. While he was so engaged three other persons, his companions, came in. The prisoner expostulated with Holroyd on his conduct, and asked him how he would like to be so treated himself. He would not, however, desist, and the prisoner was seen to strike him twice, once in the neck' and once in the belly. On receiving the last blow, Holroyd cried out " D— it, he's sticked me ! See there, he's got a knife." It was then perceived that the prisoner had a knife in his hand, and one of the parties pre sent, of the name of Robinson, took it from him. It was, however, restored to him. The deceased then left the house in the care of one of the party, named Singlestone, to seek for medical aid, and the prisoner went to bed. The deceased, on examination by the surgeon, was found to have received a woind near the navel on the left side, and from which the omentum protruded, and which the surgeon could not re place. He continued to suffer acute pain, but finally became exhausted, and died about 24 hinirs after receiving the wound. Verdict—Guilty. • _ _ His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said the case was a very aggravated one, and sentenced the prisoner to be transported for 15 years. Richard Render, aged 19, John JPDonald, aged 17, Joseph Kaye, aged 17, and Win. Mayfield, aged 18, were indicted for breaking into the dwelling-house of Frederick Turner, at Leeds, and stealing therefrom cloth and other articles to the value of upwards of 1201. Verdict Guilty—to be transported for 10 years. - KING'S COUNTY.—Tullaghmore, March 13. MURDER OF MR. GATCHELL -CONVICTION OF THE. PRI SONER.—The trial of Thomas Dowling, for the murder of Mr. Gatchell, was.resumed this morning. After the examination of several witnesses for the Crown, Mr. M‘Donough ad dressed the jury on the part of the prisoner. NINE O'CLOCK.—The jury retired at a few minutes to seven o'clock, and, after an absence of an hour and a quarter they returned to their box, with the issue paper in their hands. The unfortunate, prisoner regarded the whole. pro ceeding with uncommon firmness, and when the fatal an nouncement of Guilty was made by the forethan, he still maintained his self-possession for some moments, then shed a tear, without evincing any extraordinary emotion. The Learned JUDGE then put on the black cap, and passed the awful sentence of death upon the wretched culprit. When he heard it pronounced, he declared in a strong and clear voice, without evincing the slightest hesitation, that he was wholly innocent of the murder of Mr. Gatchell. He knew he was to die, and he was perfectly prepared to meet his fate. And then, turning to the, jury -box, he said,—" Gentlemen, if the same degree of mercy be shown to you in another world that you have shown me in this, I can tell you that you will have little to hope fir." The wretched man was then removed to the gaol under a strong escort of police, amidst the wailing and lamentations of his friends, who surrounded the Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A young man named George Gumm was brought be fore the Lord Mayor, charged with having stolen a parcel of Bank notes from a Boulogne steamer, to the amount of about 2,0001. It will be recollected that the captain of the vessel underwent an examination some time since upon suspicion of having been concerned m the robbery of the vessel, and was discharged. wholly exonerated. Mr. 'Joseph Robinson, of Water-lane, stated that in September last several Bank notes and gold, the property of Charles Bleaden and others, were stolen from the City of Boulogne steam-Vessel. The note produced for 101., numbered 30,964, dated April 10th, 1843, was one of the notes. Mr. Thomas Whitfield, cashier in the Bank of Eng land, stated that the above-mentioned note was pre sented by a boy who wrote the name, "W. Storey, 62, Fleet-street," upon it. The note 's detained, having been previously stopped at the Bank. Daniel Forrester, the officer, stated that he went to the shop of Mr. Storey, who was a tailor, and saw"the prisoner and another person there. He asked the other person whether the prisoner nas the man who pre sented the Bank note, to which the answer was in the affirmative. Witness then told the prisoner that he was bowie' to ask him some questions, but the prisoner was not bound to answer them. The prisoner stated that he picked up the note at Notting-hill on the high road, but he refused to say where he lived. Mr. Child, of the firm of Wire and Child, then called as a witness for the prosecution, Mr. William Storey, •of No. 62, Fleet-street, who stated that the prisoner tendered the note at the counter in payment of an order. Not liking the appearance of the note, witness sent a boy to the Bank to ascertain whether all was right. The prisoner said he picked up the note at Notting-hill, and witness told him that he had no business to appropriate it. Mr. Child said he could produce evidence to show that the prisoner had endeavoured to pass another of the stolen notes. Robert Blews stated that on Saturday, the 10th of February, the prisoner called at his shop and paid for a pair of trousers with the 5/. note produced. (The note was one of those which were stolen.) Witness took the note without putting any mark upon it. He requested the prisoner to put his name on the note. The prisoner said he would put the name of his governor (his master) upon it ; and he then wrote upon it " Mr. Green, Board road, Kensington." The prisoner begged to know whether the Lord Mayor would take bail for his appearance ? His LORDSHIP said he could not. The prisoner was then remanded, William Read and William Simpson were brought up in the custody of Daniel Forrester, charged with having combined to defraud the Alliance Marine Assurance Company of 1,250 L, by sinking the brig Colina. John Brady, master of a fishing smack, said that, in June, 1841, he was with eight smacks off the coast of Holland. He was called out of his berth, and he saw a vessel, which he afterwards found to be the Colina, about five or six miles off ; she was laying-to, making no way to any port, though the weather was very fine. He knew the vessel was in distress, but he saw no signal of distress, and he thought she was a vessel which the crew had left. Saw the crew in a boat go into a Dutch galliot. Simpson told him that he had started a butt, and that the vessel could not live much longer. After some other evidence, tending to show that the vessel was wilfully sunk, the prisoners were remanded. BOW-STREET. - William Frazer, who for many years was landlord of the Seven Stars public-house, Brick lane, Spitalfields, and at one time possessed of very considerable property, was charged with stealing two lanthorns from the stair case of No. 22, Old-square, Lincoln's Inn. The offence was clearly proved, and on the prisoner being called upon for his defence, he stated that distress had driven him to the commission of the offence with which he was charged, and that he had been in a state bordering on starvation for several days. • Mr. TWYFORD said he well remembered the person having been in very respectable circumstances at the time he (Mr. Twyford) was ene of the magistrates at Worship-street Police-court. The prisoner was remanded for further examination. UNION-HALL. William Weare, William Smith, and James Williams, t 7 h 2 e ol n y i ou ß th a s nk o cha f rg ed with stealing a p urse , conta i n i ng England notes, from the person of Mrs. Ann Cutts, while riding in an Islington omnibus from the Bank, were brought up for re-examination on the charge. The circumstances attending the alleged robbery have already appeared in our journal. In the course of the examination this day an attempt was made to frustrate the ends of justice, which was severely anim adverted upon by Mr. Cottingham. The prisoners were placed amongst the crown in Court, with a view that the witnesses might be enabled to identify them. Through the interference of Thomas Stowell, the informer, the boy Williams's brother was placed by his side, and the witness pointed out the latter as the person she believed to have been one of the persons concerned in the rob bery of Mrs. King - smith, of a purse containing twelve sovereigns, in Liquorpond-st ree t. • Mr. COTTINGHA3I said that Stowell had acted with great impropriety in placing the two brothers by the side of each other, and that it was quite evident it was done in order to mislead the witness, and prevent her from identifying the guilty party. Stowell said that he was not aware they were brothers, an assertion which the Magistrate said he did not believe. The only additional evidence adduced, on the present occasion, was that of a man named Clarke, a tailor, in Blackfriars-road, who proved that he made clothes for Williams in February. (after the robbery of 7201.), amounting to 261. Bills and receipts, to the amount of upwards of 501., were found in the house where the pri soners lived, in Hanover-street. None of the Bank of England notes stolen from Mrs. Cutts have, as yet, been traced ; and the witness stated that he was paid the amount in gold ; that he never saw either of the other prisoner's in Hanover-street, to the best of his belief, although he should not swear he did not see Weare in the house when he went to get his bills for the clothes paid. The boy Williams paid the bills himself, and ap peared to have control over his money. Mr. COTTINGHAM remark on the fact of the boy Wil liams asserting, when he was 'first brought before him for firing off a loaded pistol, that be (Williams) had no mother, that he was the illegitimate son of a gentleman who allowed him money to live upon; and this assertion was attemped to be confirmed by a woman mho came forward, and who described herself as the boy's aunt. There was no doubt Williams was connected with a desperate gang of thieves, and his appearance was well calculated to disarm suspicion, and threw persons riding in omnibuses with him completely off their guard. As there was every prospect of other evidence being pro duced against the prisoners, he should remand them until next Saturday. Mary Carroll, the woman against whom and her hus band a verdict of manslaughter was returned by a coro ner's jury, for causing the death of Elizabeth Hobbs, in Birdcage-alley, Southwark, was brought up for re examination. In reply to Mr. Cottingham, the. policeman said that the man Carroll was not yet in custody; that although he had contrived to elude discovery since the commis sion of the act with which he is charged, yet it is strongly believed he is concealed in the immediate neighbourhood where the offence was committed. The witnesses present were then questioned, and they all agreed that they had seen no weapon used by the prisoner, although she was observed to strike the de ceased with her lists. vv Mr. COTTINGHAM said that, under all the circum stances, he should again remand the prisoner until fur ther opportunity is given for the apprehension of her husband, who appears, throughout, to have been the chief aggressor, and, as already given in eviden ce , was seen with a weapon In his hand at the time the deceased received the injuries on the head, of which she died. Ur. Attenborough and Mr. Dempster, pawnbrokers, WORSHIP-STREET. Charles Clare, alias Samuel Swinbuyn, a deserter from the 12th Regiment of Lancers, and who has seduced and deserted a great number of females, was brought up for final examination upon . a charge of robbing one of his victims, named Ann Keeley. The prisoner, who 4 0 ,said, to be of good family, had deserted no less than four times from the Lancer Regi ment; the last time from Dundalk in February, 1843, having been previously , branded with the letter D burnt into both of his sides. A communication was now re ceived from the War-office, desiring that in the event of his acquittal of the chaige of felony, he should be given up to the military as a deserter. The particulars of his; heartless doings have been given in the reports of formiir examinations, rendering unna cessary any but a briefenumeration of the offences he is charged with. With Ann Keeley, the prosecutrix, he first became acquainted six -years since at Hounslow, where she was in the service of Captain Travers, and shortly before last Christmas he met with her again at Brighton, and after wards induced her, under a promise of marriage, to leave her service there and come to him in London. She had then several boxes filled with the best of apparel, &c., and having occasion to visit her relatives in the country, left the prisoner in Awe of her property. He had, sometime before that, seduced a girl named Elizabeth Woodcock from her friends at Birmingham, and after wards abandoned her for somebody else, but having since found her again at a f lodging in Playhouse-yard, and telling her that he Wouldmake a lady of her, he took to her Ann Keeley's boxes of apparel, but made her and others pawn most of the things. One day, however, when Woodcock was unwell, he absconded with her fellow lodger, a 'younger girl, named Styles, with whom he was living at Horselydown when apprehended. The Magistrate has received also several communications, from which it appeared that the prisoner's heartlessness had caused the death of at least one female. He was now committed to Newgate for trial. Mrs. Charlotte Sinclair, a handsomely dressed and more than middle-aged woman, of independent property, was placed at the bar for final examination upon a charge of stealing a pair of black kid gloves from the shop of Mr. Clark, in Whitecross-street. Mr. Wakelin attended as soliciter for the prosecution, and Mr. Heritage for ;the prisoner, who had hitherto been detained in close custody, but the evidence being now completed, Mr. BROUGHTON consented to take good bail for her appearance to take her trial at the Criminal Court. CLERKEN WELL_ Andrew Beatrie, an Italian, charged his master, an other Italian, named Borinke, living in Saffron-hill, with assaulting him.. From the statement .of Counsel, and the evidence given, it appeared that in April, 1843, the unfortunate complainant was engaged in Italy by the defendant, and induced to come to this country under a promise . that he should be well paid by him, and paid a monthly salary of 13 francs and. a half to play an organ in our streets, which hag subsequently been his employment, subjecting him daily to the most brutal treatment and abuse if he failed to bring home less than 2s. ; on one occasion in particular he was so much injured by him as to render it necessary for him to be a patient of Saint Bartholomew's Hospital for more than two months. On the 6th of the present. month he received elevenpence only, and on handing it to his master he was struck on the head violently by him, since which time the de fendant had held him in fear under a threat that "he would spoil him for ever as a man." Mr. GREENWOOD asked if the complainant had been paid his wages ?—He answered that he had not received a single franc. Mr. GREENWOOD remarked that the system of entrap ping poor Italians into this kingdom is a most abomi nable one, and no good could be effected unless the Pari sian Ambassador interfered to prevent it, we haring in England no alien laws now. He inquired how the com plainant-made his way here ?—He said that he and eight other men travelled over the Alps to France, and then came by a steam-boat to London. • Mr. GREENWOOD held the defendant to bail.to answer the charge at the next Middlesex Sessions. Three young men, named Lau, Crookes, and Hann:well, were Charged with the following outrageOus conduct at the cotree.shop of Mrs. Gass, Star.court, Islington. It appeared, from the evidence, that the prisoners went to the shop on the previous night, and, having had refreshments, attempted to go away without paying the reckoning. Mrs. Gass stopped them, and they then, used language of a rely foul and disgusting na ure , and attempted to deceive ,her by saying they had left th e mone y on the table. She calied a person, named Fry, t o he r ass i stance, and hint too the prisoners assailed in a very viol en t manner, an d tore his coat in endeavouring to e_cape. They w ere g i ven i nto custody. Mr. GREENWOOD said Mrs. Gass had acted rightly iu demanding payment for her refreshments on'the spot, for, if she were not paid then, she might, i n slang parlance; whistle for her money. The conduct of the prisoners w as very • improper, and he should tine them 11. each, or ten days' imprisonment. THE WEST _CALDER MURDER. (From the L'clinburgh Weekly Register.) HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, EDINBURGH. The trial of James Bryce for the murder of John Geddes, his brother-in-law, at West Calder, began on Tuesday, j 26 aal th es or Bryce, 27th of December, 1843, with murd er an d March 12. The judges present were the Lord Justice Cle r k, Lords Mackenzie and Moncrieff. The n indictmento robbery,e he did, within the dwelling - house at Bla w -wearie, in the parish of West Calder, occupied by Joh n G e dd es, l a b ourer, isfar r as, charged onthe with intent to possess himself of money and goods belonging to the said John Geddes, or in his possession, or from some other malicious motive to the prosecutor unknown, attack and assault the said John Geddes, and did, with a pair of tongs or other instrument, inflict several severe blows on his head and face and other parts of his body, and did, with a cord or other ligature, compress his throat or neck, so as to strangle or nearly strangle him, and did with his feet or knees, or otherwise, trample or press upon his breast or sides, by all which, or part thereof, or other violence, the said John Geddes was mortally injured in his person, his skull and lower jaw and . ribs were fractured, mid in conse quence he immediately or' soon after died, and was thus mur dered by the same James Bryce. The evidence, which was wholly circumstantial, consisted of tracing a considerable sum of money into the possession of the prisoner immediately after the period of the murder, when he had been just before in want, as well as some of Geddes' property, including a watch and a pair of shoes; and of trackinglim to different places where he was seen both before and after tlirinurder. The whole of Tuesday , was occupied in examining witnesses, and on Wednesday the Solicitor-General for Scotland addressed the Court for the prosecution. Bryce was ally defended by Mr. Crawford. His speech produced considerable sensation. The jury, after an absence of nearly an hour, returned with a verdict unanimously finding the prisoner Guilty as libelled. Lord Justice Clerk passed sentence, that th; prisoner be executed on Wednesday, the 3d of April.—The prisoner re ceived his sentence without the least emotion. DISSENTERS'Cif A VEL PROPERTIr.—The Select Committee to which the House of Lords, on Thursday night, referred the several petitions that had been presented to their Lordships, " praying that the provisions of the Dissen ters' Chapels Bill may be extended to Ireland," consists of the following Peers, who met on Saturday, at four,o'clock, for the first• time, to appoint a Chairman, and commence the duties delegated by the House to them :—Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Chancellor, Lord President, Duke of Wel lington, Marquis of Lansdowne, Marquis of Normanby, Earl ' Fortescue Earl of Ripon, Bishops of London and Exeter, Lord Plunket, Lord Brotigham, Lord Denman, Lord Glenelg, Lord Cottenham, Lord Langdale, Lord Monteagle, and Lord Campbell. . THE INNOCENT SUFFERING FOR THE GUILT r.--- There are some circumstances connected with the - lad Bean, whose liberation from the Penitentiary, where he had been confined for the - last eighteen months, for is treasonable conduct in levelling a pistol at the. Queen, was noticed a few days since in the papers, of an afflicting nature. His father was a journeyman gold and silver chaser, and had brought up his family in a creditable manner; but he never held up his head after the conviction of his son, anxiety of mind having brought on an attack of sickness, which terminated only in his decease. By this calamity his widow was left with three children, one of whom is ten, and the other two under that age, having nothing to depend on but her own exertions, and labouring under severe privations. In addition to all this misery, smce his release he has also been thrown on her hands, and she is reduced to utter destitution. . Bean applied to his former master, Mr. Hilton, newsvender, of Penton street, Pentonville, to retake him into his employ, but being already suited, he is giving him occasional employment. Bean was instructed in the art of tailoring during his con finement. The mortal remains of the late Sir Henry Halford, Bart., were removed at an early hour, on Friday morning, from his late residence in Curzon-street, for interment, on Monday next, in the family mausoleum at Wistow, near Market Harborough, Leicestershire, where the present Sir Henry Halford and other branches of the family will attend theinterment. ' THE SICK POO R OF WINDson.—A hamper of wine from Buckingham Peace was forivarded to the Windsor Royal General Dispensary a day or two since, for the use of the sick poor of the town ad neighbourhood, CORONERS' INQUESTS. On Saturday Mr. Baker held an inquest in the parlour of No. 19, William-street, Commercial-road East, the residence of Mr. James Sawyer, aged 66, a retired tradesman of fortune, and the subject of the inquiry. Mrs. Jemima Sawyer, daughter-in-law of deceased, said that for several years past he had been subject to epileptic fits, and that on Wednesday evening last, about five o'clock, she left him alone in the drawing-room, taking his dinner, very close to the fire, as, having a re pugnance to dine pith the family, he was in the habit of doing. In an hour afterwards she was alarmed by the screams of her daughter, who came running into the parlour, exclaiming that her father was burned to death. Witness had no doubt her father had fallen into the fire in one of the fits he was subject' to, though he seldom or never experienced one, except whilst in bed. Miss Sawyer said, that about six o'clock on the even ing in question she went into the drawing-room to ask her grandfather if he desired tea? and, to her horror, saw him recumbent before the fire, with his face and head completely upon it, and the upper part of his dress in flames. She shrieked alarm, and persons came to her succour, lifted her grandfather from the fire, and extin guished the flames which were encircling the upper part of his person. The flesh was entirely burned off his face, his lips and ears were roasted away, and his hands, which hung before the fire, were burned to the bone. Mr. Corrie, a surgeon, was hastily summoned, who pronounced deceased dead, and that he had been so for some time. - Verdict—" Accidental death." On Saturday, an inquest was held before Mr. Carter, the Coroner, at the King Henry, High-street, Lambeth, as to the death of Mr. Joseph Richardson, aged 66, for merly an extensive woollendraper, whose body was taken out of the river under most unaccountable cumstances Mr. Robert Binless, of 13, Union-street, Lambeth, stated that the deceased was his brother-in-law, and was formerly a woollendraper, but had lately been a travel ler on commission. He resided at 45, Chester-street. On Wednesday morning, he heard the b,.dy had been taken out of the river near the Archbishop's palace, and saw it lying at the station-house. Witness saw him on Tuesday evening at his residence, when he appeared low in spirits, and said he was going to No. 1, Vaux hall-street, to collect some money. He then put on his hat, and went out. Witness had then not the slightest suspicion he intended to destroy his life. He was a man who was very regular in his habits, and was always at home by seven o'clock. At ten o'clock on Tuesday night his sister came to him, and said he had not been home, and wished to know if he had been to witness, but he had not. She stayed about half an hour, and then he went home with her, where he stayed all night, as she became very agitated about twelve o'clock. Inquiries have since been made, and it was ascertained that he had not been to Vauxhall-street, nor could the slightest clue be obtained as to where he went to, or how it was the body should be found in the river. No suspicion could be entertained that any one had en ticed him to the river edge, where he had no business, and then pushed him in. By the Jury—He was very well off, and his accounts were perfectly correct. Several of the jury said they had known the deceased for many years, and he was a most regular man. The Coroner observed it was a most singular circum stance how he got into the river. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased was found dead in the river, but there was no evidence to show how the body came there. The case excited . great interest in L a mbeth, wh ere the extraordinary circumstances are the general topic of conversation. On Saturday an inquiry was gone into before Mr. Baker, the Coroner, at the Five. Bells Tavern, Three Colt-street, Limehouse, respecting the death of a Mrs. Ann Shadrake, aged 47, the widow of one of thelate chief engineers of the West India Docks, and who also pos sessed a considerable share of property at that part of the metropolis, who destroyed herself under the follow ing melancholy circumstances : Miss Louisa Shadrake, who was deeply affected, on being sworn, stated that she was a daughter of the de ceased, who lived with her at N0..1, Ireland-row, Com mercial-road, being supported by her property. For the last nine months she had been very low-spirited, more particularly latterly, in consequence of being obliged to sell two of her houses. She used to walk abou the house talking incoherently, and would say she did not know what would become of them. On Friday she seemed bewildered, but at ten o'clock at night retired to rest with witness, somewhat mo re compose d . At about six o'clock the following morning she (witness) missed her from the bed, and on calling her received no answer. She then proceeded down stairs, and on entering the back kitchen she discovered her parent hanging by the clothes line to a hook in the ceiling, having adjusted the rope by standing on a chair, and then throwing herself off, as one was found near her. She then gave the alarm, and the deceased was cut down, but was quite dead. In answer to a question put by a juror, the witnese further stated that the deceased's family consisted of six daughters and two sons. grs. Mary Ann Gunston, of No. 4, Ireland-row, de posed that the deceased had often threatened to destroy herself by drowning, as she was very wretched, and Could not lire. She also said that she had good chil dren, and that in selling the property she had done wrong to them. Mr. Cummins, surgeon, of Commercial-road East, said that he was called to the deceased, whom he found to be quite dead, and had been so several hours. Accord. ing to appearances she must have committed the act in the dead of the night. The CORONER remarked in a very feeling manner upon the melancholy facts of the case, and the jury, after a brief deliberation, returned a verdict, " That the deceased had destroyed herself whilst in an unsound state of mind." The deceased lady was very much respected in the neighbourhood of Limehouse, and, as may be imagined, the melancholy occurrence has produced the deepest sen sation. • On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Wakley, M.P., Coroner, held an inquest at the residence of Mr. John Crisp, linendraper, in the town of Hounslow, Middlesex, on view of the bcdy of that gentleman, who died in the following awf u lly su dd en manner onThursday last. It appeared that the deceased, who was 72 years of age had up to that period enjoyed most excellent health. On Thursday, about ten o'clock, while sitting at dinner with his family, he suddenly fell back - in his chair, and momentarily appeared to be dying. Mr. Emmott of the firm of Bogley and Emmott, surgeons, in the town, was instantly sent for, and immediately attended, and opened a vein; but no blood flowed, life being by tliat time quite extinct.—Verdict, " Natural death."

STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MARCH 15 4 —We are enabled again this week to report an active demand for nearly all descriptions of foreign wool, and recent rates are firmly maintained. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MARCH 15.—Sales of combing wool, during the present week, have been limited, prices remaining nominally the same as last week. The consumption is undiminished, and is expected to continue large. There is a fair demand for clothing wools of low and middling qualities, 'at very firm prices. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, MARCH 25.—The market continues in a espects the same as reported in our last, no improveme in demand, and prices nominal. YORK WOOL MARKET, MARCH 14.—We have had a fair supply of warehoused wools to this day's market, but a small compwrative amount of business done, incon sequence of an apprehension by the manufacturers that present prices will not he maintained. First-class fleeces realised from 15s. to 15s. 6d. ; locks and cots from 10s. to 12s. per ston e . Th ere wil be no more York wool markets until the new clip day. LEEDS.—The demand for single-milled tweeds of low qualities has not been quite so brisk as of late, but better qualities have been more in demand, and good shades suitable for the spring trade have been taken very freely. Low cloths are still in request, particularly in common dyed blacks. Middle qualities of cloths have also gone off rather better this week, but there is no improvement in the demand for fine goods, the prices of whi c h con tinue stationary. Th ere has not been many of the larger buyers in the maket during the week, and busi ness in consequence has been dull in the warehouses. BRADFORD, TIEURSDAY.—The piece market continues tolerably brisk, and no accumulation in the manufac turers' hands, which encourages them to seek full prices. The continued advances on cotton warps have made a very serious difference in the cost of a piece, exclusive of the increased price, of worsted weft. Yarns are consi dered hardly as brisk as a few weeks past; the present • prices hold no inducement to purchase for distant deli very. The stocks continue low, and prices firm. There is no material alteration in the wool trade; the market is well stoked with most - kinds, and, if any change in prices, a shade in favour of the buyers. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—We are still very dull and heavy for all kinds of cloth, except a certain descip tion of shirtings, which for the last few days have been readily sold at a small advance on India and China ac count. Printing cloth is again lower, and dull at the decline. Twist is without any change in value, but there is no life in the trade, as neither the German or Russian houses have commenced their spring purchases. The demand for the Bradford market is still very good.— Leeds Mercury. CRIM. CON. AND SUICIDE. —yesterday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Chequers, Providence-row, Finsbury, on the body of W. H. Freeman, aged twenty-four, employed by Mr. Woodruffe, corndealer, of 'Worship-street. It appeared in evidence that, eight months since, deceased received injury to the head through having been capsized from one of his master's carts, and that, from that period, he suffered much from constant soporific tendency. How ever, on Monday night last, accompanied by a young widow, who responded to his amatory advances, he attended a raffle at a public-house, and next morning returned to his work somewhat more animated than he had latterly been. At one o'clock he went, as it was thought, to his dinner, but not returning at his usual hour, his young master went to see whether he was in the stable or not. Finding the key not in the door, he entered by another inlet, and found th e ' deceased suspended by the neck from a harness peg by means of a halter. His young master directly cut him down, and sent for Dr. Davies, who though he tried to restore life, be lieved that deceased had been dead full a quarter of an hour. Soon after deceased's death a letter, full of reproaches, ad dressed to him, arrived from a married woman, with whom he had held criminal correspondence, and in which she in veighed against his inconstancy and his connection with her rival, the widow.—Verdict, " Temporary insanity." BURGLARY AT THE TREASURY OF GREENWICH HospirsE.— On Friday information was received that some Iszr. sons had burglariously entered the Treasury of the Royal Hospital. Sergeant Lovell, R 15, was dispatched to the premise', situated on the east side of the Institution. From his examination, it ap. peered that an entrance had been effected in the rear of the building by means of a ladder, anti breaking through a w;ndow, the whole e , • the glass of which was destroyed.
