Yesterday an inquest was held at the King's Head Ta vern, Acre-lane, Clapham, before Mr. HIGGS, Coroner for the Duchy of Lancaster, on the body of Mrs. Mary Rus sell, aged thirty-six, the wife of a respectable tradesman, who was discovered by her husband suspended from the foot of the bedstead. Mr. Russell, the husband of the deceased, who was much affected, said that his late unfortunate wife had unhappily formed certain opinions respecting religion. She imagined she should not receive salvation after this " order of things." She had been dejected for several months, and the utmost exertions of witness and her chil dren could not rally her. The Jury returned a verdict of Temporary Derangement. HEREDITAICY DERANGEMENT.--Yesterday an Inquest was held before Mr. CARTER, the Coroner for Surrey, at the sign of the King's Arms, adjacent to the Surrey Canal, Camberwell, upon te body of Richard Fowler, aged 37. Police constable Bannion. 175 P division, about half past one o'clock on Sunday morning, was on duty within 150 yards of the bridge near the New Church, Camberwell, when he heard a rattling against the iron railings of the bridge, and immediately after a splashing in the water. Witness alarmed the toll collector of the bridge, who pro cured the drags, and in about five or six minutes the de ceased was taken out of the water. • vv Elizabeth Higgs, a married woman, residing at No. 9, Bath-place, Newington, stated that the deceased, with his wife and family, had formerly lodged at her house. On Friday last he and his wife called upon witness, and had tea Upon his leaving in the evening he said that lie could not go home ; he was in arrear w►th his rent, and his landlord would kick him out of the house. Witness had observed a very great change in the conduct of the deceased of late. He had appeared in a very distressed state cf mind, and had frequently said that if the Almighty allowed him to live much longer he would be starved. Mr. Fay, a merchant in the city, stated to the Jury that the derangement was hereditary. It had existed in the family for years, and the father of the deceased was now confined in a lunatic asylum. The father had been a large banker, and the deceased had held a very lucrative situation in the City until he became afflicted by blindness, The Jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased had committed suicide, while in a state of hereditary derange ment.' The ceremony of installing the Bishop of Chiches ter, Dr. Otter, took place with due pomp at the Cathedral of that city on Thursday last ; immediately after which his Lordship proceeded to consecrate the new church of St. Paul, recently erected in the sub-deanery parish.

At the sitting of the Court this morning, the Chairman (Mr. Sergeant AnAms) stated to the Bar that arrange ments had been made for the Sessions for next year, so that the important business likely to come on, and in which the Bar would probably take a greater interest than it had hitherto done—so far as the interests of justice and the pub lic required—would net interfere with the Circuits, the other Sessions, or the sittings of the Central Criminal Court. That arrangement had been made as much with a view to the convenience and advantage of the public as that of the Bar, because he (the Chairman) was well aware that the interests of the public and of justice were never so well sustained as with the assistance of au able and efficient The Gentlemen of the Bar presen't having conferred to gether for a short time, Mr. Adolphus was requested by his Learned Friends to convey to the Chairman their thanks for the manner in which he had consulted their in terests. Thomas Rawlins and Edward Umberstone, Kentish Town omnibus conductors, were convicted of an assault upon Mr. Thomas Ingram, fish salesman of Billingsgate, who on the 24th of September last, had taken a place in the Figaro " 'bus." Rawlins was sentenced to eight months' imprisonment, and to enter into recognizances to keep the peace. Umberstone to six months' imprisonment. A true bill was found against Jelin Wilson, Wolsey and others, and against . Wm. Johns, for a nuisance in keeping common gaming-houses. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Mary N scholls was charged by Mary Sweeney for having committed a violent assault. The complainant stated that she and the defendant lodged in the same house, and had been always on good terms until Saturday evening, when the defendant started up suddenly like a mad woman and tore away the com plainant's bonnet, cap, and hair, and obliged her to throw herself out of a two pair of stairs window to avoid more desperate treatment. _ The defendant, who is a much younger woman than her antagonist, admitted that she had committed the assault, but called God to witness that she was justified, inasmuch as the complainant had poisoned her, by putting oxalic acid in her tea. On Saturday she (defendant), after a hard day's work, accepted the complainant's offer to make her a dish of tea, soon after taking which her palate, tongue, stomach, and bowels became much inflamed. She felt that she was poisoned, and she ran off to a doctor, who, upon examining her, said that she had the symptoms of poison about her, and administered some powerful medicine to her ; but for which she was convinced she should have given up the ghost. The LORD MAYOR—What motive could this poor old woman have for poisoning you?—Complainant—She has often said that she wished to have some good man, to save her the trouble of supporting herself, as she found it incon venient to sell fruit in the streets in the winter months. Now, Mr. Nicholls is my master, and I have no doubt she wants him for herself. Nicholls, who is an old hackney coach-driver, here stepped forward, and said he supposed the old lady wished to be better acquainted with him, but he did not wish for no such partner, as he found it no conwenient matter to get wittles for himself. The LORD MAYOR—But you don't suppose that she would poison this young woman to get at you ? Nicholls —Yes, I shouldn't wondr. The young woman is my maid —she lived with me when my blessed wife was alive, and she has been very kind to me since ; but mind you, not in no improper way. Howsumdever that's no reason why she should be pisoned. The complainant had no monstrous fancy of the kind ; she never saw poison in her life, and bore no ill will to any human being. The LORD MAYOR—What do they mean by saying that you mixed oxalic acid with her tea? Complainant—lf she was sick, I'm sure it must be because she ate such a load of shell-fish. The Loan MAYOR.--;What shell-fish ? Complainant— Mussels. She is so fond of them that she devoured ever so many of them, beards and all. Defendant—Yes, my Lord, it is true I ate mussels ; but what harm could an innocent fish do me. The LORDNMAYOR—I am quite satisfied that the mussels were the poison you complain of, and that Mr. Nicholls is wrong in supposing that his charms have so fatal an effect. This poor woman no more poisoned you than you poisoned her, and you must pay her for the damage you have done her. Defendant—l have got no money. The LORD MAYOR-0, your master, as you call him, will pay for you. Nicholls—l an't got no money for sich nonsense. She's only lost an old bonnet and a cap, and I'm sure the aclothes were not worth sixpence. The Loan MAYOR—And what do you think of the hair she has lost Nicholls—l'm sure nobody would give a farden for a couple of handfuls of old hair. Why, it's not fit to make a wig for a monkey, and I'm blessed if it was worth pulling out of anybody's head.—(A laugh.) Besides, she'd no right to pison the young woman. The LORD MAYOR—If you don't pay, she shall sleep in prison to-night. Nicholls—No, sure. The LORD MAYOR—Certainly she shall. Nicholls—Well, and what am Ito pay ? Don't be too hard—l've only got a shilling. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Mrs. Sweeney, what will sa tisfy you ? Complainant—Why, my Lord, considering that I was robbed of my hair, and my cap and bonnet, and was obliged to throw myself out of the window to savo my life, I hope you won't think a matter of three shillings too rtiuch.—(Laughter.) Nicholls—Three shillings ! If every stitch upon your hair and head and all was torn off you, it would not be worth three shillings.—(Great laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Then I commit the defendant. Nicholls—Well, if she takes it at a shilling a week I'll pay her ; for you see, my Lord, what with the busses and the cabs, and the Bank, we do little or nothing except in the family way. Complainant—l'll trust to his honour, my Lord, if he'll promise that he won't let her attack me again. Nicholls—Very well ; but you must promise never to pison her again.—(A laugh.) BOW-STREET. Mr. Joseph Hinton, a boot-maker, at the entrance to Clement's Inn, was brought up on a charge of having vio lently assaulted Mr. James Watson, a Lieutenant in the navy on half-pay, residing in the Inn. Mr. Watson was about entering his chambers on Mon day evening, when he met a female, with whom he was ac quainted, and stopped to speak to her. He was about to leave her, when the defendant pushed against him, saying " d—n your eyes, who don't you get out of the way." Witness told Lim, if he touched him again, be would knock him down. He replied, he should like to see him do it. The defendant again pushed against him, and witness seized him, and pushed him idto his own shop. Witness thought it was all over, but while standing with his back towards the door, he received a violent blow with some in strument on his head. He turned round and was instantly attacked by the defendant, who struck him six or seven blows on the. forehead with a staff, and wounded him deeply in several places, the blood flowing from each blow. The crowd expressed the strongest indignation at the con duct of the defendant. Mr. MINSHULL said the conduct of the defendant was disgraceful, unmanly, and brutal, and ordered him to pay. 51., and in default to be committed for two months ; and afterwards to enter bail, himself in 100/., and two sureties in 501. each, to keep thu peace for six months. He was then locked up. HATTON-GARDEN Yesterday John Dykes, a bargeman, was brought to this office in the custody of Serjeant Millingnap, and Russell, of the N division, charged on suspicion of having murdered Thomas Lee, another bargeman, The prisoner was in the employ of Mr. Slaughter, the proprietor of some barges at a wharf in the neighbourhood of Islington. On Saturday night he received his wages, and was afterwards seen in the company of the deceased at a public-house, drinking together, and they became intoxi cated. They were again observed miller similar circum stances, when they both repaired to the Susan barge, which lay in the Regent's Canal, in which the prisoner was em ployed. In the course of the night the prisoner awoke Mr. Slaughter and his wife, and appeared considerably agitated and said he felt very unhappy, but hesitated to tell the cause, but ultimately he said that Lee had accompanied him on board the barge to sleep, and he had fallen into the canal. On being questioned be confessed that the man had been in the water an hour, on which Mr. Slaughter thought it unnecessary to drag for the body until the following (yes terday) morning, when it was taken out quite dead, and carried to the Albion public-house for the Coroner's in quest. Information having been forwarded of the circum stance to the Islington station-house, Inspector Miller di rected the officers to proceed to the spot, and make proper inquiries, and after doing so they felt themselves justified in taking the prisoner into custody. On being questioned, he said that he accidentally met with the deceased man, and they drank together, when they became intoxicated, and they were going on board the barge to sleep together, when he fell over into the canal by accident. Mr. BENNETT said that the prisoner's concealment of the fact of the man being in the water for so long a time after he was aware of the circumstance, involved him in suspicion. He inquired as to the character of the prisoner. Mr. Slaughter said, that whenever he received his money he was in the habit of getting stupidly intoxicated, and he knew not what he was about, but he was a hardworking man. When the prisoner came to him and . said, " Oh, Master, I'm very unhappy," he (witness) thought nothinc , of the matter ; but he became so agitated and uneasy, that his wife urged him to ask " Goosey" (a nickname applied to the prisoner), what was the matter with him, and he at last told him that a man was in the canal, when be caused it to be dragged, and the body was taken out. The prisoner, who is a rough-looking, athletic man, was then remanded, he having maintained silence during the in vestigation. We regret to announce the loss of the Red Rover sterile pack et, bound to Herne Bay, which took place a little bele fore two o'clock on Monday afternoon, off the Nore, by' corning into violent contact with the Magnet Margate steamer, destined to London. We are happy to say, that the crew and passengers were saved, The following ac count of the unfortunate occurrence is from a gentleman who was on board the Magnet at the time of the accident : " The Magnet left Margate at nine o'clock, a.m., on Monday, th e rith instant, with about one hundred and fifty passengers, there being a considerable fog, which soon increased to such a degree, as to compel the Captain to work the vessel by the compass and lead ; yet, in spite of great care, the vessel grounded about half-past ten o'clock (a short time before flood), and remained fixed till near twelve o'clock, when the tide had made sufficiently to float: her off. During the period of her being aground the wea ther had cleared for a few minutes at a time, so as to allow them to recognise the coast, which bore directly a-head, and proved to be about two miles East of the Recul vers. When the vessel floated again, her proper course was, therefore, easily made, and the Royal Sovereign and Emerald steamers, from Boulogne, came up and kept com pany for a short time. The fog again became very thick, but the Horse Buoy and the next were seen, and the ves sel continued her course at half speed, or less, being worked by the compass and lead as before—the Spaniard Buoy was not seen. Allowing for the slow and cautious course of the vessel, the captain calculated she would make the Nore about two o'clock, but the fog was so dense that it was impossible to tell the position of the steamer with any accuracy. A few minutes before two o'clock a steamer was discerned directly a-head, and bearing on the Magnet ; her distance when first seen could not have been more than 100 yards, and the approach of the vessels was so rapid that a collision could not be avoided, although the engine of the Magnet was instantly stopped, and every endeavour made to avoid it. Scarce a minute could have elapsed from the appearance of the steamer before the collision took place ; the crash was tremendous, and it felt as if the two vessels were breaking to pieces ; the shock was so great as to prostrate all who were not prepared for it ; only one or two screams were heard, but consterna tion was depicted in each face, and in many the expres sion amounted to agony. It was seen directly that the steamer which had met the Magnet (the Red Rover) was in a sinking state, her starboard bow being completely de molished, and the water pouring into her with extreme rapidity ; fortunately her passengers were very few in number, they, with the crew, not amounting to more than 24 or 25 persons ; and all were got on board the Magnet in a minute or two, for the vessels held sufficiently together to allow those on the Red Rover to get into the Magnet without the aid of boats. As soon as possible after the passengers and crew of the Rover were safe on board the Magnet, the vessels were separated, and the Magnet was worked off some distance from the Red Rover, which sank within ten minutes after being struck. Only a small por tion of the luggage that floated was saved. A gentleman who was a passenger on board the Red Rover states, that she had two very narrow escapes from other vessels within ten minutes of the time previous to her collision with the Magnet, and her rate of going when first discerned from the Magnet appeared much beyond that which was safe in such thick weather. For some minutes groat fears existed respecting the Magnet, but no very serious damage could be discovered ; her position close to the Nore being ascer tained by one of the buoys, the Captain deemed it most prudent to put into Sheerness, where he landed his passen gers in safety, at three o'clock, most grateful and thankful for their almost miraculous escape. " The Port Admiral Fleming manifested great conside ration and courtesy. He manned ,his gig, and placed her at the service of the passengers, as many as she could ac commodate, to convey them to Chatham." The Magnet left Margate yesterday morning, at nine o'clock ; but the fog was so thick that it was impossible to see many yards beyond the bowsprit. At the Reculvers, the Magnet got on shore, and was detained there two hours, until she was floated by the returning tide. When near the Nore, the Red Rover packet from London to Herne Bay and Margate, was seen approaching, not many yards a-head ; and, in the confusion of the moment the signals of the two vessels, it appears, were misunderstood ; and though the speed was slackened ne speedily as possible, the Magnet struck the Red Rover in the bows with such force as to stave them in, and she instantly began to sink. The screams of the passengers were most terrific, and the greatest exertions were made by the captains and crews of both vessels to save them. The Red Rover fortunately remained close to the Magnet, and the passengers were enabled to jump from one boat to the other ; and it is believed that all on board in this manner effected their escape. The head of the Red Rover in the mean time gradually sank until the water reached the deck, and then the vessel righted and went down perpendicularly, not leaving a ves tige in sight. The water was very smooth at the time, and' the beautiful packet sank without leaving so much as a bubble on the surface. It was an awe-striking scene, and several of the sailors shed tears on seeing the noble ship disappear. The boxes of the passengers were floating about in all directions, and the boats of the two packets suc ceeded in saving most of them. The number of passengers on board the Red Rover was about thirty, whilst on board the Magnet there were upwards of 300. The Magnet received considerable damage from the col lision, and instantly put into Sheerness, as it was impos sible to proceed to London without repairs. All the pas sengers landed at Sheerness, and as there were no means of conveyance from that place, they were obliged to remain there all night. None of the Margate vessels yesterday, we understand, were enabled to reach their destination, and they were out all night. The City of Canterbury, Margate steamer, was on shore at the Nayland, on Sunday evening, but got off on the return of the tide. The Red Rover left London-bridge at ten o'clock, with twenty passengers on board, for Herne Bey, and the Mag net left Margate at the same time with 220 passengers. The density of the fog on the river caused much difficulty in navigating the Red Rover, which increased as she ap proached the Nore light, and she ran into two or three other vessels before she ran foul of the Magnet, but with out doing herself or them any material injury. About a mile below the Nore light, the collision took place which sunk her. The Magnet, it appears, was going at about half speed, and the Red Rover against the tide ; and it ap pears the people on board both vessels were unconscious that they were approaching each other till one ran into the other. starboard bow to starboard bow, which instantly stopped them both. As soon as the collision took place, Captain Jones, whose intrepid conduct and presence of mind are spoken of in terms of great praise by all parties, threw out a rope by which the Red Ltover was held on for a moment, and the crew and passengers tak t o a scertain all the enon board the Magnet. The crew then looked around with an . . jet Y the people were saved, and being sfied of that, were about to attempt to save some of te'e luggage and ee minutes of , property ; but the Rover was sunk with in th: the collision taking place, nothing being to be st:en but the top of her mast. The injury done to the Magnet proves the tremendous force of the shock she sustained, see having, in nautical phraseology, her throat cut, her cutwater, bul warks and sheathing being torn away, to within two feat of the water's edge ; the escape of several of the persons va the side that is damaged, is truly miraculous. The greatest - . terror and alarm prevailed amongst all on board, and the screaming of the females and the children added not a little to the confusion of the scene ; the distressed condition of several taken from the Red Rover was truly piteous, and it was some time before the attentions of the Captain and crew of the Magnet could restore confidence to the passel:le gers. When order was in some degree restored, Captain Jones assured them the Magnet was perfectly safe, and was able to proceed to London forthwith ; but at their pressing request ? he very properly went into Sheerness, where the passengers of both vessels were landed within an hour after the disastrous occurrence. The Magnet arrived at London bridge yesterday about half-past one, to the great satisfa - ction of the friends and relatives of those who' embarked in her, the most alarming accounts having reached town respecting the accident ; indeed a report was prevalent during the morning that both vessels had gone down with every soul on board. We are enabled to state that no person has received any material injury. The superior size and great strength of the Magnet prevented her sharing the fate of the Red Rover; which was, though a large vessel, but slightly built, and incapable of bearing the shock of a collision with so heavy a vessel as the Mag net. Captain Read who has been command of the Red Rover for two years, has been confined to his bed for several days, and his place was supplied by the mate, Lynch, who lately commanded the George Canning, Greenwich steamer. Capt. Jones is well known as the oldest and most expe rienced steam-boat captain on the river, having been on the Margate station 20 years. No blame, however, attaches to any party, and the accident is to be attributed solely to the fog. The sunken' steamer lays in IG feet water, in the fair way of navigation, and notices to that effect have been House, who h ave or d ere d a buoy circulated r c b u e l a p t l e a d e e b d y o t v h e e r Trinity le r Yesterday afternoon the Directors and others belonging to the Herne Bay Steam-boat Company waited on the Lords of the Admiralty, to request the assistance of barges and tackle to raise the Red Rover. It is expected that she will be got up in a few days if the weather prove moderate. The Magnet is gorse to the Company's yard at Deptford to repair, and will resume her station at the end of the week. The Red Rover has been very unfortunate, having met with a similar collision from the John Bull, and received material damage. On another occasion she ran down a boat off Rotherhithe, and drowned two persons. Since the above account appeared, we have been in QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday a young man, named James Harris, was brought before ➢lr. WHITE, charged by police constable Collins, of the B division, with assaulting him in the execu. tion of his duty. The defendant had been guilty of the heinous crime of crying walnuts for sale in the public streets, and under the Act sth William IV. had, on Saturday last, been seized by the police, and a large basket of walnuts had been con fiscated, the police authorities taking the word of the defen dant for his appearance at this office on Monday morning, but when called upon he was not forthcoming. The po liceman added, that yesterday evening he met the defendant in Chapter-street, Westminster, and he abused him for having on Saturday taken away his walnuts. He called him a stealer of walnuts, and in a very short time a crowd of persons had collected, who said that if there were a law in Westminster to prevent poor people from getting their living by selling a few walnuts, that law ought to apply to the whole of the metropolis. He took him into custody. The poor fellow, who protested that he had not a friend on the face of the earth that he could call upon, was locked up in default of bail. UNION-HALL. Yrsterday George Edwards, a porter in the employment of Isaac Byles, coal-merchant, of Montague-wharf, South wark, was summoned for refusing to weigh coals purchased by a customer, whereby he forfeited a penalty of 101. After evidence had been gone into, the defendant was fined the mitigated penalty of 51., together with costs. THAMES-OFFICE. Yesterday George Tyrrell and James Liveridge; waiters in the employ of Mr. Hudson, the Steward of the Fame, a Margate and Herne Bay steam-packet, were brought be fore Mr. BALLANTINE on a charge of removing five gallons and a half of brandy, and the same quantity of gin, without a permit, by which they had incurred penalties not exceed ing 1001. each, nor less than 251., or imprisonment and hard labour for three months. Tyrrell, in defence, was after-cabin waiter, and in conse quence of the Fame going into dock to be lengthened, Mr. Hudson was under the necessity of taking away all the ship's stores, but he had forgotten in the hurry of business to obtain a permit. Leveridge was fore-cabin waiter, and merely acted under the directions of his master. He was quite ignorant of the law. Mr. BALLAN•TINE had no doubt the prisoners were the servants of Hudson, but the law said no quantity of liquor exceeding one gallon was to be removed without a permit. He was obliged to convict, but he could not help saying it would be an iniquity to levy the fine on the two young men, or to keep them in prison for any time. He administered the law, not because he liked it, but because he was bound to do it. Hudson ought to have obtained a permit, and not got his men into trouble. Ho convicted the prisoners in the lowest penalty, '251. each, and in default of payment, he had no other alternative but to send the prisoners to the House of Correction for three months, there to be kept to hard labour. The liquor was of course forfeited, and must itgo to the Excise Office.—The prisoners could not pay the money, and were locked up. CHELMSFORD PETTY SESSIONS. OCT. 14.—A labourer named Eve, residing at Stock, was charged with spiriting away certain chairs and tables and three-legged stools, in order that Mr. Thomas Hutt, his landlord, might not lay unceremonious hands upon them to satisfy a claim for rent. Mr. Eve had occupied a house at Stock, and would have occupied it even until this day. if Mr. Hutt had been so unreasonable as to talk about pay ment of rent—a very ungentlemanly subject to be sure— but as he could not for the life of him get the matter out of his head, some steps were decidedly necessary. Accord ingly, on the evening of the 20th September, just after Mr. Eve's appetite had played sad havoc with the eatables within his reach, he began to unfold the result of his cogitations to his spouse. " Mrs. Eve," says he, much in the glozing way in which the serpent attacked her name-sake of old, "it is high time we were gone ; old Hutt (says he) (for men never call their creditors Mister behind their backs), old Hutt looks tarnation sour cos that ere rent ar'nt paid." Mr. Eve showed she was sensible of this unpleasant state of affairs, by knocking the little one over the fender, and Mr. Eve continued, though • not, perhaps, in l►nguage poetical : " And, lack-a-day ! here's Quarter-day ; It always comes too soon; So we by night must take our flight, For we must shoot the moon ./"- Mrs. Eve, being made of yielding materials, soon coincided in her lord and master's plan of operations. Arrangements were made, and by twelve o'clock the domestic army were in full retreat. A bed and bedstead led the van—a broken clock-case formed the right wing—and a frying-pan with a hole through it, and two saucepans without handles, brought up the rear. It might be said of Mrs. Eve, like her de scribed by Milton— " Haste was in all her steps—a cupboard in her hand, In every pocket tea cups, and a dish." An asylum was found at the house of the mother-in-law ; but, alas ! other parties interfered, and between the three great powers—the constable,' the Magistrate, and the gaoler, Mr. Eve nearly became the victim of a quadruple treaty. Humbled in spirit, he now offered to liquidate the debt by instalments. Mr. BUTT thought Mr. Eve's word was not exactly a bond. At this insinuation the mother-in-law, in a rampant fit of honesty, ascended a stool and exclaimed—" If he does not pay you, you may take all the g oods I've got in my house. Mr. Hutt—l would not give you sixpence for all you have (rot. The lady was astonishe d ; her hair did not exact l y pus h her bonnet off her head, but she was wonderfully alarmed notwithstanding, an d in a fit of indignation she exclaimed— Why, Mr. Hutto I gave fifteenpence for a mousetrap " (Loud laughter). This was decisive. Like the confounded arithmetical questions which puzzled us at school, everybody began to ask—" if a mousetrap cost fifteenpence, what. is the value of adining-table .
