MANSION-HOUSE.-(SITURDAY . ) William Henry Barber, Joshua Fletcher, Thoiais Griffin. Georgiana Dorey, and William Saunders, were brought up to-day before the Lord Mayor, the first four for final exami nation, on the charge of the extensive wills forgeries upon which they have been so often remanded ; and the last charged, for the first time, with complicity in the alleged forgeries. The Lord Mayor entered the court at eleven o'clock, and immediately took his seat on the bench. The prisoners were brought in by the officer Forrester, at half-past eleven o'clock. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Parry for Barber ; Mr. Humphries for Fletcher ; Mr. Byard, from the office of Mr. Flower, for Mrs. Dorey ; and a clerk, from the office of Mr. Harmer, of Bristol, for Saunders. Shortly after the entrance of the prisoners, Mr. Clarkson said that Mrs. Saunders had been appre hended, but the state of her health was such as to prevent her being able to commence her journey to London, and as it was a'ssolutely necessary that the depositions should be read over, not only to Saunders, her husband, who was present, but also to herself, as she also was charged with being an accomplice, he wished to know from any professional gentle- man who might be in attendance for the prisoners, whether they had any objection to a remand till Friday next, when Mrs. Saunders should be present, and the depositions could be read over to her and her husband at the same time. His object was to prevent the unnecessary waste of time which reading the depositions now, and a second time on the produc tion in court of Mrs. Saunders, would involve. • Mr. Humphries had no objection on the part of his client to adopt the course suggested. Mr. Harmer's clerk neither had any objection to a remand till Friday next, or any other day his Lordship might think fit to oppoint. But he took occasion to complain of the wretched place in which his client (Saunders) was confined. It was a small, filthy cell, in which the only seat was a small stool. The Loan Mayor, said that be believed the prisoner being confined in that place was in consequence of his desire to be kept separate from the others, and that there was no other place where he could be detained. He would, however, look to the matter. Saunders, the prisoner, raid that he complained of the matter to the visiting magistrate, and that the latter bad entered the complaint on the books. Mr. Byard, thr Mrs. Dorey, stated he did not object to the ad . q r tiT a L r l;M a r i . d el n ar o ks t o o i b i' j s ec s t ug e g it e i s l t e i r er o f but a remand. r a e n g d r . et ted that certain parties were not. there before his Lordship to-day, because he would then be able to elicit, snore clearly than he could lay before his Lordship by a mere statement of facts, that which he considered of very great im portance to Mr. Barber's position, in reference to this inquiry. His Lordship was aware that, when Griffin was apprehended, a written statement was taken from him, I which was afterwards submitted to his Lordship. If he 1 (Mr. Parry) were not misinformed, and hehad reason to know that he was not, the prosecution had got a statement from Mrs. , Dorey and Mr. Saunders, in which the latter most solemnly " declared his belief of Mr. Barber's entire freedom from any guilty participation in those frauds, as far as he (Saunders) knew. What he (Mr. Parry) now complained of was that the prosecution published the statements made to them when it suited their purpose of blackening Mr. Barber's character to do so, but that they exhibited no desire to bring forward any such statement as that of Saunders, who, as far as his know ledge went, acquitted Mr. Barber of any guilty participation in the forgeries. The LORD MAYOR here interrupted the Learned Gentle man, and observed that all his present remarks would appear in the public papers before the trial could take place ; and he begged him to remember that the parties were not on their trial before him. Mr. Clarkson said that Mr. Parry's statements were en tirely without foundation. Mr. Parry (with much watmth)—They are not without foundation ; and I can prove what I state to he the fact. Mr. Freshfield, for the prosecution, said that Griffin's statement was made in open Court, and that the statement of Mrs. Dorey affected his (Mr. Freshfield's) case. which was not before his Lordship, and therefore it was not read; but that statement did not remove his impression of Mr. Barber's guilt. All he (Mr. Freshfield) knew from the officer who had apprehended Saunders was, that the latter declined making any statement whatever. His LORDSHIP then fixed Saturday next, at eleven o'clock, as the next day of hearing. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) GUILDHALL. James HO, a collector for Messrs. Sutton and Co., railway and canal carriers, Whitecross-street, was brought before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, for final examina tion, charged with embezzling three bankers' cheques, and a sum of 21. 6s. 9d., received on account of his em ployers. Mr. Thomas, the barrister, stated the nature of the case. The prisoner was employed to collect orders and cash. Sometimes the carmen delivered goods for the carriage of which they were not paid at the time, although the parties were not customers to whom credit was given by agreement. These sums were collected by the prisoner. He was also sometimes entrusted to collect from those who paid for the carriage of their goods monthly, and these were called ledger accounts. The charge against the prisoner was that he had re ceived four of these ledger accounts, and had embezzled the amount. He should have accounted for them as soon as they were received. If he had acknowledged that he had received the money, and refused or neglected to give it up, perhaps he would not have been liable to punishment, but he concealed the payment, and even when taxed denied it. Mr. James Oldfield, one of the agents of the Messrs. Sutton, discovered the fraud by calling for payment upon a customer who had previously paid his account to the prisoner. Upon further inquiry other defalcations were detected. He should show that the cheques had been paid to the prisoner, and, if neces sary, he could also show that the prisoner had applied them to his own use. The payment of three cheques, for the sums of 131. 65., 61. 25., and 21. 45., by customers to the firm to the prisoner, who gave receipts for them, was proved. Also the payment of 2/. 6s. 9d. in cash. Mr. John Oldfield deposed that he and his brother are the joint agents for Messrs. Sutton and Co., whose chief establishment is near Derby. Witness manages the in-door business, looking to the cash, keeping the books, &c., and his brother attends to the out-door business, and collects the ledger accounts of those cus tomers who pay for the carriage of their goods monthly or quarterly. The prisoner collected the sums which parties neglected, or refused to pay to the carman, and he delivered the ledger accounts preparatory to Mr. James Oldfield calling for payment. The prisoner was authorised to receive such accounts, if offered to him, and had been sometimes instructed to call for the money. If he received a ledger account, it was the pri soner's duty to pay it over immediately, and also to mention it to Mr. J. Oldfield, that he might not trouble the customer by calling for payment a second time. The prisoner had not accounted to him for the cheques, or other sum mentioned. Mr. James Oldfield proved that the prisoner had not accounted for the cheques or money to him. The prisoner's solicitor examined the Messrs. Oldfield at considerable length, to show that the prisoner had endeavoured to borrow money from the firm on the ground of having to meet expenses from the sickness of his family, but really to cover a loss of 15/. which had occurred to him ; that the prisoner was not bound to account immediately, but had balanced his account at the end of a month or six weeks, and that the ledger and general accounts had been intermixed ; that the prisoner had received cheques from customers before, and changed them into cash, duly accounting for the amount.

HAMMERSMITH. Mr. William Bolton, the landlord of the Ship public house, in the Suspension Bridge-road, Hammersmith, was summoned before Mr. G. Clive, the sitting magis trate, at the instance of the police, for having had his house open before the hour of one o'clock on Sunday last, the 17th instant. Mr. Bolton having pleaded not guilty, Police-constable Gibson, T 121, deposed that on the forenoon of Sunday last he went, accompanied by an other constable, to visit the defendant's house. On knocking at the door it was opened to them by the de fendant, when they saw four persons standing at the bar. The defendant said they were travellers. On go ing into the bar, he found a pint pot about a third full of beer on the counter. By Mr. CLIVE—The. men were entire strangers to witness. The defendant told us they were travellers. The door was opened by the defendant immediately that they knocked. By the defendant—Caine from the direction of the bridge to the house, but did not see him standing in the road before they came up. Defendant told them that one of the four persons had been taken ill, and had had some brandy-and-water. Police-constable Jones, T 31, deposed that he accom panied the last witness to the defendant's house, and corroborated his statement as to four persons being at the bar. By the defendant—Th© shortest of the four appeared very ill, and he said something about having had brandy and water, or he should have.died. The whole of the young men offered to give their addresses in support of their statement. Every facility was afforded by the defendant to the police searching the house, and on their entering he opened the bar-door, and said, " There are four persons there," but witness had already seen them through the glass window. Mr. Bolton declared that the real facts of the case were these:—Oa Sunday, soon after eleven o'clock, two young gentlemen brought a third to his house, saying he had been taken very ill, and begged for God's sake that he might be admitted for the purpose of having some hot brandy-and-water. On the police coming to the house he explained to them the circumstances, as did also the party in question, who were all connected with public offices, and were therefore unable to attend at that Court that day. He had, however, the waterman in attendance who had brought them up the river, who would prove the truth of his statement. He then called Charles Campbell, waterman, of No. 1, Church-street, Waterloo-road, who deposed that on Sunday morning last he took a party of three gentlemen up the river from Westminster-bridge-stairs. It was a very cold day, and the wind blew very hard. One of the gentlemen who sat in the head of the boat, when near Hammer• smith-bridge, was taken very bad, and they were all afraid he would have died. He was taken ashore at the bridge by the other gentlemen to the defendant'S house, and witness afterwards went to see how he was, when the landlord asked him in, and he had a pint of porter and a biscuit. The pot he had it in was that which the policeman had spoken of. Mr. CLIVE said that was not a case for a conviction. The summons must be dismissed. themselves or their assistants have taken the evidence in, is one which has been discountenanced and discouraged in many countries, and should not in any case be per mitted. The situation of magistrates' clerk and prose cuting attorney in one and the same case is, in a great measure, incompatible, and should not be continued. That the robbery in this case was what is called a " put-up" there can be no doubt, as since it has been committed a carpet-bag and box, which was intended as a "dummy," has been discovered by the police. The box was placed in a bag in the same way as the one containing the sovereigns, and was as near as possible of the same size, and the bag of the same description as that stolen.—Sunday Times. interfere in the case. A sergeant of the detective police said that Stowell was continually in the company of thieves, and that he now wanted to act as solicitor for the accused persons. Mr. COTTINGHAM said that he should take care that that should not be the case. The only additional evidence adduced was that of a Mrs. Bear and a little boy, her brother, who identified the boy Williams as having been concerned in the robbery of Mrs. Kingsmill, who had her pocket picked of a purse containing twelve sovereigns. The witnesses said they were walking behind Mrs. Kingsmill at the time she was robbed, and saw the two men and the boy Williams commit the offence, and that they escaped at the time by running down one of the turnings. They were certain as to the identity of the boy, but not so as to the other two prisoners, whom they were unable to swear to with any degree of confidence. Sergeant Langley said that Mrs. Cutts, the lady who was robbed of the 7201. in the Islington omnibus, was so ill that she was unable to attend, and that Mr. Cutts, being persuaded that her illness was produced from the agitation consequent on the magnitude of the robbery, had, therefore, expressed a wish that she should not be compelled to appear again. Mr. COTTINGHAM said that Mrs. Cutt's attendance was absolutely necessary ; that the fact of the three prisoners launching out into extravagance immediately after the robbery of the above lady was a strong cir cumstance of suspicion against them, in addition to Wil liams being identified as riding in the same omnibus with her, and also two men resembling tho other pri soners, although she could not speak with the same de gree of certainty as to their identification. The prisoners' counsel contended that the evidence was not sufficiently strong to bring the charges home against either of them, but the Magistrate differed in opinion on that subject, and said that he should commit Williams for trial, but, with a view to have the at tendance of Mrs. Cutts, should remand the other pri- soners until Friday. Another attempt was made by a young female, named Caroline Hillman, to commit suicide this morning, and she was brought before Mr. Cottiughasn on the charge. Police-constable, 48 M, stated, that at two o'clock that morning, while on duty on Blackfriars'-bridge, his attention was called to the prisoner, whom he observed lingering about the Surrey side of the bridge. Believing she meditated self destruction, he watched the prisoner for some time, and saw her run down the steps leading to the water ; upon which he instantly followed, and was just in time to prevent her from precipitating herself into the river. She had divested herself of her bonnet and shawl, which she left on the steps. When taken to the station-house it turned out that she was an unfortunate woman, and had left her lodging in the Waterloo-road at ten o'clock the same night to go to the Victoria Theatre. The defendant said that she had been drinking and that she was unconscious of what she did. On promising to abstain from liquor in future, she was placed in the care of her friends. On Saturday information was circulated, by authority of GoTernment, and inserted in the Police Gazette, offering a reward to the amount of 300/. for the dis covery of a person, at present unknown, who, on the morning of the 13th instant, attempted to murder Charles Grimmer, a farmer, at Pakefield, in Suffolk, by discharging a loaded gun at him. Rewards of 501., on the part of her Majesty's Government, and 201. by. Mr. Grimmer himself, in addition to 2801. by the Ma gistrates and others, are offered for the discovery, and it is stated that her Majesty's pardon will be granted to any accomplice (excepting only the person who actually fired the gun), who will give such information as may be the means of bringing to justice the perpetrator of the outrage. THE HOUSEBREAKING AND ATTEMPTED MURDER IN ESSEX.—The following description is given of the two men, said to be Irish labourers, who, on the night of the 15th inst., broke into and plundered the house of Mr. Peter Asplin, jun., at West Tilbury, Essex, and attempted to murder his farm servant. One of them is about five feet eight inches high, of dark complexion, with very dark, small whiskers, good-looking, and thick set, with good teeth, which he shows very much when talking, and has a scar under the cheek bone. The other is five feet six inches, about 25 years old, fair complexion, light hair, small whiskers, long face, with high cheek bones, and a wrinkle down each cheek, his wrists and ankles nearly as large as his arms, two of his fingers joined together above the first joint, and is ruptured. The lower part of their dress is supposed to have been very muddy when they made off, as they walked in the mud after leaving the boat in which they crossed the river from Gray's to Northfleet ; and they were traced as far Shooter's-hill the next day. At the rotice Committe of Aldermen for the remov ing Irish and Scotch paupers, on Friday, the presiding magistrates, Mr. Alderman Copeland and Mr. Alder- man Johnson, expressed a wish that it might be made known through the Press that the Houses of Shelter for poor people would be closed for the season in a few days. The metropolis, the City especially, had of late been inundated with destitute objects from all parts of the country, who had been attracted by hearing of these places of refuge, though they could not expect to find employment in their ordinary occupations—as miners, agricultural labourers, &c. These poor persons had been a great tax on the City poor-boxes, where they had less funds than at the Metropolitan police-courts. It was very desirable that the poor objects should have timely warning of the closing of the receiving-houses alluded to, that they might not continue to pour into London, when there were no_ such places of resort, and where there was no possibility of their getting em ployment. THE LATE ROBBERY FROM THE OXFORD COACH. OXFORD, SATURDAY EVENING.—It being understood that Richard Elliott, the person in custody on suspicion of being concerned, with two others, in robbing the De fiance Oxford coach, on the Monday before, of a box t o see y e containing 1.500 sovereigns , was to have been publicly examined before the county magistrates to-day, consider mthaenyprisoner, and hear of the inhabitants of consider able l this s interest city to w b a e s manifested presentthe proceedings agai n s t him. In this, however, they were disappointed, for , from some reason or other of the clerical magistrates an d oth e r s , who have the conducting of the case, the most mysterious secresy is preserved. About three o'clock Dr. Harrington, who is the Principal of one of the Colleges, and also a county ma gistrate, attended in the committee •room of the county gaol, adjoining the city, for the purpose, as it was stated, of further examining Elliott, and our reporter made a pplication to be present. He was l i introduced to the presence of Dr. Harrington by Captain Robins, the governor of the prison, and, upon his stating that he had come from town to attend the examination and report the proceedings for the Sunday Times, the Rev. Doctor replied that an application had just been made to him by the solicitor engaged for the prosecution, requesting that the examination of that day should be strictly private, and it being his impres sion also that a disclosure and publication of the evi dence in the case, as far as it had gone, would tend to defeat the ends of justice, he could not comply with the wish of the reporter to be present. The reporter ventured to suggest that all examinations of the sort taking place in the metropolis were pub lished, and the magistrates before whom they took place invariably acknowledged that their publication, instead of defeating, materially assisted the ends of justice. The Rev. Doctor replied that, as far as the present case was concerned, he was of a different opinion, and for these reasons he must insist upon the investigation being strictly private. He begged at the same time to say that when the case was quite ripe for publication he should have no objection whatever to the presence of reporters for the public press. The reporter then withdrew. An application was then made on the part of Mr. Ro binson, who attended on behalf of the prisoner, to be al lowed a private interview with his client, but this was refused. He next requested to see him in the presence of Ballard the officer, but this also was refused, as well as permission to be present at the examination. He (Mr. Robinson) then requested to be informed upon what ground his client wag kept in custody, and was told by the Reverend Magistrate that such a eotirse was unusual, and that therefore he could not comply with the request. At a later period of the day Dr. Marsham, another clerical magistrate, and Captain Shepheard, attended, when the prisoner was brought before them. There were also present Ballard, who, had formerly belonged to Bow-street, and who, it appears, is especially employed in the case, Sergeant Thompson of the D division of the metropolitan police, and Lucas, a marshalman, who ap prehended the prisoner on the night of the robbery. The prisoner was very respectably dressed, is a genteel-look ing young man about thirty years ofage, and it was said has kept a tobacconist's shop, in Bell-street, Edgware road, for some years past. Sergeant Thompson recognised him as a member of the " swell mob,' and stated that he had been in cus tody before, and committed to the House of Correction as a member of that fraternity of thieves. Beyond this nothing has been discovered to implicate him with the ' robbery. . Mr. Harrington told him the decision of the Bench was to remand him to a future day, and asked him if he had anything to say against being retainc'd until Friday next ?—The prisoner said he should prefer Wednesday to Friday, but, upon his being informed that Mr. Robin son, his solicitor, wished for the longest day, he said he had no objection to Friday, and was then removed to his cell. Dr. Harrington subsequently intimated to Mr. Robin son that the next examination should also be private, and that if after this, the Bench should see reason to commit the prisoner for trial, their clerk would commu nicate with him (Mr. Robinson), so that on a future day he would have an opportunity of attending and cross examiningntahbved.dr iffe e re ss n e t d witnesses in the case. The wife of the p r i soner, an exc eedingly good-looking several yo hungowuros, woman, a a n nd , waans applicationi n ance at the gaol f or was fma sandien on her behalf to the Bench to be allowed even to shake hands with her husband, but this was denied. The refusal seemed to distress her much, and she cried very bitterly. There are two circumstances in the case worthy of remark—one is that the prisoner was left in the care of Lucas from the time of his apprehension until that (Saturday) morning, when he was ordered into the gaol, and the other that Mr. Walshe, the magistrate's clerk, is employed for the prosecution. The practice of permitting tuagotaitee clerks to 44 as atttornep in protiocutions they WORSHIP-STREET. Mr. Broughton, the sitting Magistrate, was occupied until an advanced hour with the examination of eight persons. male and female, charged with having suspicious possession of a large quantity of silk and other goods, which it now appeared had been obtained from a manu facturing house in the country in the names of the fic titious firm of J. Wigram, Brothers, and Co., of Bar __ . clay-place, Hackney. The prisoners were a young man named James War tin, of 5, Dotteridge-place, Hoxton, a clerk ; Alfred, Erzabeth, and Mary Spurrell, brother and sisters, of 31, Goring-street, Hoxton; George Williams, an elderly man, and Edward and Jane Williams, his son and daughter, resident at Melina-place, Hackney. They were taken under the following circumstances:— On Friday evening Elizabeth Spurrell went to the shop of Messrs. Alton and Walker, pawnbrokers, to pledge some new articles, consisting of several quantities of silk, &c., and on being questioned, gave her name Pack, and her addres in Goring-street, tied said that she had been sent to pledge the goods by her father, a half-pay officer. As she had several times before pledged similar property, Mr. Alton went home with her, and found that she had given a fictitious name, and being induced to be lieve, from what he observed, that the goods had been improperly obtained, he gave her in charge to the police. Sergeant Lambert, 2 N. afterwards went to the house in Goring-street, with Policeman Balls, to make in quiries, and saw in different parts of the house various quantities of new goods lying about in a very suspicious way, and found two deal covers of pack ing -cases, from which the addresses had been erased. The front parlour was locked, end Martin, who was then present, said it was occupied by the elder Spurrell, who had the key with him, but old Mrs. Spurrell, who was in bed up stairs, bein g questioned, said the parlour was occupied by Martin, and the officers having obtained the key, entered it, and there found other quantities of pro perty, and a small box, containing several tradesmens' directories, and various documents, including a whole quire of printed circulars of Wigram and Co., for distri bution amongst manufacturers and tradespeople in the country. In Martin's possession were found no less than forty-seven pawnbrokers' duplicates, and an invoice for goads, of which those above described appeared to have been part. The elder Williams entered while the officers were there, and it appeared that he had been to the pawnbroker's, and offering himself as bail for Eliza beth Spurrell ; and at his residence, at Hackney, some silk and other goods were found in possession of his son and daughter, and three pawn-tickets for such property. Sergeant Lambert now produced one of the circulars of " Wigram and C 0.," which was handed to the Magis• trate and read. The circular, which was addressed to " Merchants, manufacturers, tradesmen, and private gentlemen of respectability," was of great length, and set forth in very imposing terms the inestimable advan tages which those to whom it was addressed would de rive from a transmission of their money or goods to " Wigram, Brothers, and C 0.," Barclay-place, Hackney, in exchange for "good and respectable tuna-fide London and country bills of exchange," which they were in the habit of procuring for the accommodation of merchants, manufacturers, and others in want of temporary assist ance; or if the parties addressed should happen to have goods on hand, and find sales dull or difficult, Messrs. W. and Co. promise to use their best endeavours to turn them into cash. They stipulated, however, that any ap plication to them for accommodation bills, &c., should be accompanied with a remittance of cash at the rate of 5 per cent., for the amount received by their agency. Balls, the police-constable, produced, amongst the ar ticles found in the possession of Martin, an immensely long invoice of goods recently forwarded to "Wigram, Brothers, and C 0.," from D. G. Learoyd, of Pontefract, amounting to 1731. I Is. A heap of goods was also pro duced, consisting of silk handkerchiefs, shawls, muslins, lace, and which, with those offered in pawn, corres ponded with the invoice. Sergeant Lambert said he had made inquiries at Hackney, and ascertained that the elder Spurrell at one time kept a beer-shop in Barclay-place, Hackney, pre viously to his removal to Hoxton, and that numerous packages and letters came there addressed to Wi gram, Brothers, and Co., but the landlord and neigh bours declared that there was, in reality, no person of that name, and that. - Spurrell himself was the only " Wigram and Co." The sergeant said he had also seen the postman of the district, who then held four letters to the same address, but refused to give them up because he had orders from Spurrell to deliver them into no hands but his own. Spurrell, however, had not been home, and could not be met with since the detention of his daughter and the present discovery. Mr. BROUGHTON, having heard this evidence, ordered all the prisoners to be removed from the bar except Eli zabeth Spurreil, whom he then asked what account she wished to give of the possession of these goods.—The prisoner said that her father, who is a half-pay officer, sent her to pledge them, and that they were goods which had teen consigned to him from the country to be dis posed of. Martin, who was next called upon, said that he was merely a visitor at Spurrell's in Goring-street, andknew no more of the goods than that they had been received from the country by Spurrell. Williams; the elder, stated himself to be a pensioner, and said that he merely went as a friend and neighbour to get bail for Miss Spurrell, when he was detained. He knew nothing of the property, and the articles found at his place had, it appeared, been presented to his son and daughter by the Spurrells. Mr. BROUGHTON, after a long inquiry, discharged all the prisoners except Elizabeth Spurrell, who was found offering part of the goods in pawn, and Martin, in whose possession the invoice and the duplicates of the other property had been found. He remanded those two persons for a week, to give the officers time to com municate with the trdesmen at Pontefract, and to trace other matters connected with the fictitious firm of " Wigram, Brothers, and Co." THAMES POLICE. Denis Driscoll, a rough, rollicking-looking fellow, who evidently preferred summary process to the slow and technical formalities of the law, was charged with having, without " rhyme or raison " assaulted a fellow exile of Erin, named Florence Sullivan. Florence stated his own case thus :—" As I was goin, your 'Wurtchip, down along Shadwell, Mr. Driscoll comes up to me an says, • How d'ye do, Flurry ?' says he. Very well, I thank ye, Deny,' says I. 'How is your people ?' says I. They're very well for that matther,' says Denis. But,' says he, why don't you pay me mother the one and a penny yer owes her ?' says he. Pay me mother, you —, he says, gettin hotter in the matther, or I'll break your neck; says he. Wid' that he tuck honld o' me be the collar, an kicked ine an bate me till he kilt me almost intirely. Mr. BALLANTINE (smiling)—No, not entirely, Mr. Sullivan. Florence—Faix, then he did that thing. He did it then, your reverence. Denis, in his defence, denied the assault. " 'Tisn't the way at all I bate him, your Lordship, as Mr. Sullivan tells how I done it. Oh, Fl u rry, agr a h l 'tis you have a conscience like a rib stockin', sure 'twould stretch to, anything.

After the sentence had been passed upon the wretched man, Lawrence, at Lewes, he was taken back to the gaol, and the next morning he was conveyed to Hor sham, where the sentence is to be carried into effect, in the custody of two turnkeys, who had strict orders to watch him, in order that he might not lay violent hands upon himself, which he has repeatedly threatened if an opportunity is afforded him. It is now nearly eight years since an execution has taken place in this county, and it is rather remarkable that the last man who was brought to the scaffold was convicted through the ex ertions of Solomon, the unhappy victim in the present instance. This man's name was Shepherd, and he was a noted burglar, upon the occasion on which he suffered having committed no less than four burglaries on as many successive nights. He came to Brighton after the commission of the last, bringing with him a large portmanteau, filled with valuable property, the produce of the robberies he had committed, and he took his place by a coach, which at that period, started at six o'clock in the morning fur London. The person whom he sent with his portmanteau to the coach-office excited the suspicion of the police, and he was stopped, and taken to the station-house at Brighton, where he was questioned by Solomon, and on his saying that he had brought the portmanteau from a gentleman who was going by the coach, Solomon told a con stable to accompany him to the office and see if his story was true. This was done, and on Shepherd coining up and claiming the property he was allowed to de part. Very soon afterwards inf,rmation was received of the robbery, and Solomon proceeded to London, and after some search succeeded in apprehending Shep herd, who was ultimately convicted at the assizes and executed. As has been already stated, the unfortunate deceased was very much respected iu the town of Brighton, and a subscription has been opened, which is expected to realise a very considerable amount, for the benefit of his wife, who ever since the melancholy occur rence has been in an almost frantic state, and his family ; and a benefit has been announced at Batty's Circus for the same object. 'We understand that the murderer still continues to declare that he had no intention to kill the deceased when he inflicted the blow upon him. It is ' expected that the sentence will be carried into effect on Monday, the Bth of April. THE LATE FATAL DUEL IN THE UNITED STATES. The following are a few particulars, taken from the New York papers just received, of the late fatal duel at Washington. This duel has, it is said, made as much noise, and excited as much interest, on that side the Atlantic as the Fawcett and Munro affair did here:— In regard to the origin of the duel, it is believed that on Thursday morning last, Feb. 15 (not on Thursday night), Mr. Cochran said, in the presence of two or three of Mr. May's friends, that he believed Mr, May a coward. This expression of Cochran was immediately reported to Mr. May, at whose request two or three of his friends immediately waited upon Mr. Cochran, at his room, to demand of him a retractation of the words, and an apo logy. Mr. Cochran declined, saying that he would con sult his friends, which he did. This was about noon of Thursday. By the advice of his "friends Mr. Cochran decided to make no apology, but, en the contrary, excepted an in vitation to meet Mr. May and his friends at 8 o'clock the next morning (Friday) at Mr. Nelson's tavern, about a mile or a mile-and-a-half the other side of the chain bridge, in Fairfax county, Virginia. Mr: Cochran and his friends left the city of Washing ton about half-past 5 o'clock on Friday morning, in a coach with four white horses. They arrived upon the ground at Nelson's TaVern abeut half an hour before the other party. As soon .as Mr. May and his friends ar rived—as they did in a single coach, Dr. Miller attend ing on horseback—he sent a challenge in the usual style to Mr. Cochran, which was accepted. Mr. Pooler acted as Mr. May's second, and Mr. Ash as Mr. Cochran's second. Mr. Cochran was also attended by his surgeon. Articles were drawn up and signed by the seconds, designating the weapons, which were to be rifles, and the distance fifty paces. The mode of proceeding to be with the breach - of the rifle to the shoulder—the muzzle down—and to be raised at the word. The words, " Are you ready, gen tlemen ?" were then to be asked. Each were to reply "ready," and at the word " fire !" the muzzles of the rifles were to be raised. They were then to fire between the words " one," " two," " three," " stop"—neither be fore "one," nor after "stop." The seconds arrived about nine o'clock upon the field. when the efforts to effect a reconciliation were renewed, but without effect. The distance was then measured off. All the parties were perfectly cool and composed. Both the principals were Members of the Temperance Society ; Cochran was urged, however, to take a glass of liquor, but refused:. Both were perfectly composed, each - ex pecting to wound his man and escape himself unhurt, and each hoped to draw the other's fire—that is, by firing at the word " one," to anticipate the other's fire. Mr. Cochran, as was his custom, 'continued to sing little snatches of songs. Each took his place ; Mr. Ash gave the word, it being his privilege as the second of the challenged party. Mr. Cochran threw off his hat. Both • replied, " ready," in a fine clear voice. At the word " one," both fired ; , Mr Cochran , a second after Mr. May. Mr. May remained unhurt. Mr. Cochran stood a moment—his - rifle dropped from his hands, and he fell heavily and slowly back, partly on his left side, the right leg being thrown fiver theleft. Mr. Cochran's surgeon was first On the spot. Blood was seen flowing from his forehead, and, upon pushing up the hair with the fingers, a wound was discovered through which a portion of the brain protruded about the size of two fingers. He ap peared, and was at first believed, to be dead. • Scarcely any pulsation' or breathing was perceptible. _ Mr. May still continued in his place for some time, but subsequently went to the place where his second had stood. Almost immediately after, Mr. Cochran's surgeon came to the spot. Dr. Miller ran to his assistance, and concurred in the opinion that Mr. Cochran must die in a few minutes. He called to Mr. May to take his horse and make his escape. Mr. May did so. His seconds came up to Mr. Cochran, and finding that he was dying, ran to their carriage, which was a quarter of a mile off, and returned to the city with Dr. Miller. Mr. Cochran was then left dying upon the field, with na persons in attendance upon him but his surgeon and second, who was deeply affected by the fall of his friend. The driver of the coach and four white horses, frightened at the fall of Mr. Cochran, had suddenly driven off to the distance of half .a mile, but was brought back, and in the course of half an hour blankets were procured, and Cochran was removed to his coach. In taking him, to Nelson's tavern, • Cochran vomited several times, and revived a little, his pulse becoming more perceptible. He was perfectly senseless—bled profusely, drenching the seats of the coach with his blood. Efforts were made ; upon the ground, before Dr. Miller lefty - to replace the protruding brain. The hair was shaved off in the vicinity of the wound, but it was found impossible to restore the brain, and it • was Mr removed, and a bandage applied. At . Nelson's, everything possible was done for Mr. Cochran. Doctors Holmead, Elliott, and Hall, of Washington, and Richie, of Georgetown, were immediately in attend ance. The shots were exchanged about a quarter past nine o'clock on Friday, the Ith instant. From that time till half-past four o'clock on the following Sunday morning he remained perfectly insensible,:: and at.that hour died. The injury to the bones of the head was of a peculiar and striking character, and it seems remark able that he should have lived so long as he did. The direetion taken by the ball proves that he was taking aim when he received the wound. The corpse was removed to the city on the 18tb, and was buried the next morning. It is said that Mr. May returned hastily to the city, took the horse of his brother, Dr. Frederick May, and fled from Washington. The seconds on both 'sides also fled, and none of them have been since beard Of publicly. There , has been great excite ment, originating from the youth of the parties engaged in the duel, and a supposition that it might have been prevented, and. ought to have been pre vented. There are those who unhesitatingly say the civil authorities ought to have been called upon to arrest the parties, and thus prevented the deed. • •• • • , ANTI-CORN-LAW MELTING, LEEDS.--A greatmeet ing of the opponents of the corn.law was held at Leeds on Wed. nesday last, principally to hear Mr. Fox. The great reputation of that gentleman, together with the interest which the abolition of the corn.laws excites in Leeds, collected a great concourse of people. Something must be allowed, too, for the political feelings of the O'Connor Chartists, who are numerous at Leeds, and many of whom attended the meeting to show their hostility to the League. Mr. J. G. Marshall was in the chair. surrounded by the principal manufacturers of Leeds, and the members of the corpora tion. Several ladies also honoured the meeting by their presence. The chairman opened the business, and Mr. Flint followed him with a short speech. Mr. Fox then addressed the meeting at con. siderable length, with his accustomed ability, eliciting from the auditors a lull meed of applause. On his resuming his seat, Mr. Smith, of Sheffield, attempted to speak; but he was opposed by the Chartists who wero in the room, and a scene of great uproar, which lasted for some time, ensued. Mr. Kidd, described as a Chartist lecturer, made himself conspicuous in the tumult, and peace and order were only restored by the chairman causing Mr. Kidd to be ejected. The remainder of the proceedings were carried peaceably to a close. Mr. Smith concluded his speech, and, on his motion, the meeting voted its thanks to Mr. Fox by acclamation. It se •parated after giving hearty cheers for the League, and cheers as hearty for the chairman. WEsMINSTER-BRIDGE.—A .beautiful design by Mr. Barry for an iron bridge on the site of the present bridge has been published. It consists of five elliptical arches, is of a light and graceful construction, and is at least fourteen feet lower than that now in use. The plan for this new structure is proposed in consequence of the unsafe and u nsatisfactory state of the foundation of the existing bridge, as well as to improve the navi gation of the river and facilitate traffic by lowering the carriage way.
