was not an error of judgment on your part, but it is clear everything that was done by you was done to prevent the mischief taking place which did occur, owing probably t o a m i su nderstaning between you and another person. It seems to me that every person on a railway, and in almost every other situation in life, would do well not to step out of the strict line of their duties—if you had not done so, this accident might not have occurred, as I understand it was no part of yeur duty to have left the Nottingham station at all. That was an error in the first instance; and the second error, if there was any, seems to be this, that although feeling per suaded, and as far as I can judge with very good reason, that the train coming from Nottingham would come on its proper line, and that that line would be free, still you did not wait to make it quite certain at the Beeston sta tion. It would have been better to have waited, as it appears the train coming from Nottingham, whichever line it came on, was overdue at Beeston station, there fore it would have been better had you waited a few minutes; but to say, because a man certainly erred in judgment in a situation of great difficulty, he is guilty of manslaughter when death occurs, is not correct. I am very glad to hear the account of your good conduct in general that the Learned Counsel gave of you. I have no doubt it was through an error in judgment this unfortunate mischief took place. You left the station with the best of all possible intentions ; certainly there was no wish on your part to do any harm ; on the con trary, your intention was to do as much good as pos sible ; unfortunately, however, the event turned out otherwise. Mr. Lightfoot then stepped from the dock, and imme diately left the court. The Learned Judge then proceeded to the county, to charge the grand jury, but the cases there are few in number, and nothing had transpired worthy of note. NORFOLK CI RCU IT.—Bury St. Edmund's, Dee. 13. (Before Mr. Justice WlLerAms.) THE GISLEHAM MURDER.—At the termination of the trial of the wretched woman for the murder of her grandchild, the three men charged with the wilful murder of a police-constable, whilst in the execution of his duty, were then placed at the bar. Their names were William Howell, aged 25, Walter Howell, aged 21, and Israel Shipley, aged 33. The indictment charged William Howell with feloniously and maliciously murdering James M'Fadden, police-constable, by shooting at him, with a gun, and Walter Howell and Israel Shipley were charged with aiding and abetting William Howell in the commission of the felony. Mr. Gordon and Mr. O'Malley appeared on behalf of the prosecution; and Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Dasent defended the prisoners. Mrs. Mary Button—l live at Gisleham, in the county of Suffolk. On Sunday night, the 29th of July, James M`Fadden came to my house in a wounded state. The door was opened, and he was brought in. He was un able to walk. I sent for the doctor. I knew he had been watching our premises. Cross-examined—M`Fadden said, " I know who shot me." He did not say " I think I know." He might have said so. John Constance, of Gisleham, labourer—l assisted in movine. M'Fadden from the step of my mistress's door into the kitchen. Before M'Fadden left the house, he told me he had left his cutlass close by the place where he was shot. As soon as it was light on Monday I went to the ditch, and there I found a cutlass. The sheath was shot. Cross-examined—lt took me three or four minutes to go from where the cutlass lay to the house. John Prentice, surgeon, gave evidence to prove that the gun-shot wound was the cause of death. He never rallied from the first moment. Mary Juliens—l live at Kessingland. M'Fadden lodged at my house. I remember his being brought home wounded, at three o'clock in the morning. On Tuesday morning, about eleven o'clock, I carried him some milk. He said nothing about himself then. About one o'clock, he said, " I shall never be well no more." He seemed as if he was going to expire. Towards the close of Tuesday he was very low. Richard Doane, police inspector—l saw M`Filden on the Monday. He appeared very weak and distressed. I had a conversation about his being shot. He never said a word about dying to me. By the COURT—He never said anything about his state or death to me. James Lark, inspector of police—l visited M'Fadden on the Tuesday, in the middle of the forenoon. I had a conversation with him before he died. I told him that he would be provided for by the county ; he said, " it is of no use, I shan't want it." I lifted him out of bed, and when he was resting on my shoulder, he said, " It is all up with me." I told him he was severely wounded, I believed mortally. He made no reply, but slightly grasped my hand. Cross-examined—Soon after the last conversation I proposed to send for the priest. He said, " That's not of much use." I proposed at the same time to him to make a declaration before:a magistrate. He said, " I have no objection, but not yet." M`iadden was a Ro man Catholic. At the conclusion ofo the evidence of this witness the court adjourued until to-morrow morning. Saturday, Dec. 14. At the sitting of the court this morning the Learned Judge recalled several of the witnesses, and examined them respecting M . Fadden's state of mind, after he received the wound. The Learned .longs said, after hearing it, that the evidence was sufficient to satisfy his mind, that on Tues day afternoon the deceased entertained no hope of re covery, and believed he was near death ; therefore he should receive in evidence any declaration made by the deceased at that time, but that he should reserve the point for the opinion of the judges. James Lark recalled—About six o'clock in the after noon I helped M'Fadden out of bed. I had a conversation with him after that. I asked him if lie knew the man who shot him. I asked him if it was correct what he told me as to the man who shot him. Before this he had mentioned the name of the person to me. He said " Yes, Howell." I said, " Where does he live ?" He said, "At Valuer." I said, " Can you describe his dress ?" He said, " The man that wore a police hat and a long velvet coat down to his knees." I said, " Would you know him again if I. could produce him ?" He said, " Yes, I should." By the COURT—I gave the name of another man, and asked him if that was not the man that shot him. Ile said, " He might be there, but he did not shoot me." This was after he mentioned the name of Howell. John Livett, labourer, of Gisleham, proved that Mr, Batten's barn was broken. Harriet Botwright—l lived at Hulver last July. I knew M'Fadden. I know the three prisoners at the bar. They lived in Mulford. I remember the Sunday when M`Fadden was shot; I war. with M`Fadden. About three weeks before he was shot on Kessingland-common I was talking to him. William Howell came by riding in a pony cart. He drove quite close to M'Fadden, and he said, " Mind, old fellow, how you drive." William Howell said, " D— my heart if I should not like to drive over you." M'Fadden said, " Mind, old fellow, what yov say. You would look rather queer if I summoned you for it." William Howell said, "D— my heart cold, if I should not like to do your business for you; d— my heart cold if I do not the first opportunity." After these words Howell drove on. He was in liquor. On the Sunday I had been to Lowestoft, I left home about four o'clock. Before I got home I fell in with M'Fadden. I met him on the Kessingland turnpike, about half-past six o'clock. I was riding with a young man in a cart. I got out. I had some conversation with M'Fadders. I then got into the cart again, and went towards my own home. When I got home the door was closed, at eight o'elock. I then went across the marshes, past the pri soner's cottage. I was going toNards Mulford-street. I saw Mr. Shipley, who passed me. This was as I was going across the marshes, one marsh from his own home. I saw William Howell in Kemp's-field. After crossing another marsh, I saw Walter Howell, just after they were going from their home towards Mulford Hall. I made for Mulford-street. This was between eight and nine o'ciock. I next saw William Howell and Shipley in a cart, after I had been at Mr. G. Crichmere's cottage half an hour, going in the direction of Mulford Church. I went to Carlton. I went across the fields. After I had been at Carlton I saw the prisoners at the Five Cross- ways, a mile and a half frcim Mrs. Button's, and Chil vers, Chamberlain, and William Cooper were with them. The two Howells and Shipley were upon their feet. I said nothing to them, nor they to me. I can't say the time. It was bright moonlight. I went to M`Fadden, at Gisleham, at Mrs. Button's. I expected to meet him. I met him against the gate. I then went into the gar den. I could see the barn quite plain from the garden. There was a fence dividing the garden from the road high enough to conceal a man. I told M'Fadden some thing. I remained very little time before they came down, the thieves. I was with him in the garden. I saw five people come. William Howell and Walter Howell I swear to. I cannot positively swear to any other. I saw Williana unlock the barn door. Walter followed his brother. After they had gone into the barn I left M'Fadden. Before that he had pulled off his shoes in the garden. I went up the backway towards my own home. Half an hour from the time I left M'Fadden I heard a gun fire. There was only a meadow and a yard between me and where M'Fadden was shot. I looked about, I did not go straight on. I returned back, on hearing the gun fire, to Mrs. Button's. I heard M'Fadden groan ;he said, " Oh, dear." I could not see him. The sound appeared to come from the garden. I was in the back way. I then went away for Beecles, more than five mile-% I did not go up to the door, because I was afraid they would serve me as they did M'Fadden. William Howell had a black velvet fruek and a policeman's hat. I had seen that hat before, inore than once. Cross-examined by Mr. Prendergast—l cannot say exactly the day of the month I told this. It was on a Thursday —some time after M'Fadden was shot. About five weeks from this time. Ido not know how many times I hare been before the magistrates before I gave the account. Twice, if not more. William Howell was taken on the Thursday after AlTaddea died. I first mentioned all this to M - r. Dean. I was very ill, and that was the reason why I did net mention it before. I was threatened by their party. On this Sunday I had been to Lowestoft in a cart. I had told M'Fadden before, that if I saw the party I would let him knuw. It took more than an hour to walk from my house to Gisleham. It was after six when I got to Beccles. I went to Mr. John Hunt's, of Beeeles. He keeps a public-house. I stopped half an hour. Thor-. is ao Mrs. Hunt. He is an old man. He has one daughter. I then went to Mrs. Sporle's, in Gaol street. I was there, in and out, the chief part of the day. I was obliged go to to Beeele.,get some money —a post-offic e or d er for my brother. I got the post office order fur ss. o f Mr. Criehtnere. My brother r was convicted at the last assizes. Howell's mothe was witness against the man t r i e d w i t h my brother. Ia am now with Mr. Dean, the inspect or , as I d are not go at large. I made the statement to Mr. Dean on the Tues day. He told Mr. Lark on Wednesday, and the men were taken soon after. I never told Mr. Dean till after (r. Robert Chilvers threatened me. My father threat- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 18, 1844. ened me. Richard Wright threatened me. Neither Wright nor my father was taken up. If I spoke the truth, my father told INC I should never go near his door if I said anything about William Howell threat ening MWadden at the turnpike. I had told Mr. Lark that day, when I was sworn at the Queen's Head, thst only Walter Howell and Shipley were there, and the prisoners who are gone. George Thrower—l am a gamekeeper. I remember M'Fadden being shot, about a mile and a half from Mrs. Button's. I heard the report of a gun at half past 12 exactly by my watch, towards Gisleham. By the COURT—It was a bright moonlight night. The moon was nearly full. Charles Nagle—l am one of the constabulary. I went with Dean to apprehend William Howell on the Ist of August last. I took him at his house in Mulford. I took him to Mr. Clark's, at Shelver. He was committed, upon the coroner's inquest, to Ipswich gaol. I searched his premises. I found the velvet coat and policeman's hat I now produce. The coat was behind the door, the hat under the table in the lower room. I produce a gun I found in Shipley's house on the 19th of November last, directly he was taken. Cross-examined by Mr. DASENT—I have knows Shipley about fifteen months. I took him at Mulford, about half a mile from his own house. I had seen Shipley as usual, but not between M‘Fadden's death and the sth. I know nothing about Walter Howell's hat. I have observed William Howell frequently with a black hat and velvet frock. Robert Arlis—l am a bricklayer. I knew WFadden. I remember his being shot. I was at Wrentham, working for Mr. Butcher. Walter Howell was working with me. I had a conversation about the policeman's death, between breakfast and dinner. I had heard of M'Fad den's death before that. Upon my saying to the com pany I heard the policeman was shot against the barn, Walter Howeli said, "Itis a d—d lie; he was shot away from the barn next a piece of water." This was in the afternoon. Cross-examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST—We were about four in number ; every one was talking about it. lie said it was " a d—d lie" quite loud. William Quadling—l am a carpenter of Wrentham. I remember the day of the inquest. Walter Howell was at work for me there. After tea, Walter said, " Did you see my brother carried by ?" I said I did notice him, only there was a policeman in the cart. He then said, " It is a pity that the d—d rascal was not shot dead, then nobody could be found out." Cross-examined—Walter said that he went to bed about ten on the night that M'Fadden was shot, and that he saw his brother's highlows and buskins. Three prisoners from the gaol were called as wit• nesses, to prove statements made to them by the priso- ners, whilst hi custody. It appeared by their evidence that Shipley and Walter Howell had given detailed ac counts of the whole transaction ; but these accounts ap peared to be at variance with each other, and with the actual facts of the case. Mr. PRENDERGAST, on behalf of the prisoners, made a powerful and argumentative speech to the jury, and at the conclusion of the Learned Gentleman's address, the Learned Judge informed the jury that in a case of such vital importance he thought it advisable not to commence the summing up at so late a period of the day, and also that it would be better for them not to enter into the con sideration of such a complicated case at a late hour of the night. The Court was then adjourned until nine o'clock on Monday morning. December 16. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS observed that, in his opinion, the jury had acted wisely in agreeing to the adjourn ment, as it was not in the nature of things that, atter an anxious deliberation of IS or 14 hours, they could inves tigate fully, and with that care and attention which it required. His Lordship then said, it is clear that a robbery was committed on the night in question in Mrs. Button's barn by some one or other, and that M'Fadden was watching the premises in the execution of his duty. If the deceased then saw a person or persons come to the premises, and believed that they were there for the pur pose of committing a robbery, he was authorised by law, and it was his duty, to endeavour to apprehend the men ; and if in such attempt he was shot, and died in consequence, then the shooting was undoubtedly murder —of as foul a description as was known to the law, inas much as it was the offence of shooting a subordinate minister of the law. The Learned Counsel for the pri soner had very early in the course of his address stated that, although he (Mr. Justice Williams) had admitted statements made by the deceased after a certain period, yet that he had not defined what particular weight was to be attached to them. He had not done so, considering that a point for their consideration. The admission ()ranch declaration was certainly an exception to the general rule of the law. He had received the declarations of M•Fad den, because from his manner and demeanour it was evident he was sensible his end was approaching. A dying declaration did not, however, go further than an oath. They next came to the evidence of the girl B3t wright, upon which they had been addressed with great ingenuity by the Learned Counsel, in a speech deserving great attention, and the testimony of this woman was certainly of great importance, and the case would depend much upon the degree of credit given to it. The Learned Judge, in conclusion, observed that it was clear on the evidence that an undoubted murder had been committed, and that the serious and important question for their consideration - was, whether or not the prisoners at the bar, or either of them, were the persons who committed the murder. The jury, after retiring for a short time. returned into court, and pronounced e. ♦erdict of Guilty against the three prisoners. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS then proceeded to pass upon the prisoners the extreme sentence of the law, and ad dressed the prisoners in the following words :—" The murder which has been committed is one which the law estimates in the highest degree criminal—the taking away the life of an officer in the execution of his duty. You have been convicted of the crime of wilful murder, after a long, anxiously protracted trial, for the purpose of having every point in the whole evidence calmly con sidered and reconsidered ; and lam not aware—l have that consolation—there has not been one point suggested on your behalf which I did not, to the best of my com prehension, distinctly explain to the jury. Still, the gentlemen of the jury, after an anxious consideration of all the facts, have pronounced a verdict of guilty. I in treat you, during the short remnant that is allotted to you on earth, to lose no time, and by an anxious and unabated perseverance to endeavour to propitiate that mercy that may be obtained hereafter, and which cannot be obtained in this world." The prisoner Shipley seemed deeply affected, but the Howells not in the least ; and at the conclusion of the Learned Judge's impressive address, Walter Howell ad dressed the following words to his Lordship :—" Do you reckon you have done your duty ? Every witness I have had against me I can prove a liar." With this case terminated the first Suffolk winter assize. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) Hew Byrne, the captain of a merchant vessel, sur rendered to answer an indictment passed under the Act of Parliament of the sth and 6th William IV., commonly called the Merchant Seaman's Act, charg ing him with having unlawfully deserted Charles Robert Rowe, one of the seamen on board his vessel, at Port Nelson, without lawful cause, and not having a certificate from the authorities of that place autho rising him to do so. Mi.. Ryland conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson appeared for the defendant. From the statement of the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, and the evidence of the first mate of the vessel, it appeared that the defendant was the captain of a barque called the Himalaya, and in the beginning of 1843 he was about to sail on a voyage to New Zealand and South America. Rowe, it seems, was a lad eighteen or nineteen, and having a strong desire to go to sea, contrary to the wish of his friends, they at length consented, and his father placed him in the charge of the defendant, and he was rated as an ordi nary seaman, and sailed in that capacity. Nothing particular occurred until the vessel arrived at New Plymouth, when Rowe went on shore, and, on his not returning, it was found necessary to send the con stables after him, and he was brought by force on board the ship. He then expressed his regret for what had occurred, and promised amendment ; and he again resumed his duty and sailed to Port Nelson, but on the way thither the crew broke open a cask which contained a quantity of bottled porter, and the complainant was found to be drunk in the hold, and a bottle of the beer was dis covered on his chest. On his being remon strated with by the captain he was insolent, and said he would not do any more duty ; and upon the vessel arriving at Port Nelson he was taken before a magis trate, and charged with neglecting his duty and getting drunk, and the magistrate fined him twenty shillings, and in default sentenced him to be impri soned for ten days ; and at the expiration of this period, as the complainant did not come on board the vessel, the defendant sailed without him. In cross examination the witnesses said that the complainant had repeatedly said, while at Port Nelson, that he would never go on board the -- ship again, and that when the constable attempted to take him down to the beach, he resisted him, and got away. It was admitted that the defendant had not obtained of the magistrate at Port Nelson the certificate which would, in law, have justified him in leaving the man behind. Mr. CLARKSON, in his address to the jury on be half of the defendant, commented, in his usual able manner, upon the facts that had been disclosed in the course of the case, but at the same time said he was fearful he could not rescue his client from a verdict of guilty, inasmuch as he had not acted up to the strict letter of the Act of Parliament, in obtaining a certi ficate of the magistrate at Port Nelson. He argued, however, that it was perfectly clear the complainant had virtually abandoned the vessel, and that he never intended to return to his duty, and the extent of the offence imputed to the defendant was, that he had neglected to apply for a certificate to that effect, which he would, no doubt, easily have obtained, and this would have entirely shielded him from the present charge. He said that his client was exceedingly anxious for the sake of his character that he should lay before the jury some evidence in support of this statement, and although he, the Learned Counsel, was fearful that it could not weigh with the jury in their ultimate de cision, yet it would be a satisfaction to the defendant and his friends to have it shown that he was not guilty of the wanton and reckless conduct of wilfully deserting one of his seamen in a foreign land. Bir. French, the Burgeon of the vessel, and other witnesses were then called, and they deposed that when the period of the complainant's imprisonment at Port Nelson had expired, endeavours were made to get him on board the vessel, but he refused to go, and repeatedly, with an oath, declared that he would never go on board the ship again, and that he resisited the constable with considerable violence when he at- I tempted to convey him on board. Mr. E. R. Arthur, the owner of the Himalaya, proved that the defendant had sailed in her for five years, and had, during the whole of that time, conducted himself with very great propriety; and also that he was particularly humane and attentive to his crew. Several other respectable witnesses also gave the defendant a high character for general good conduct, and particularly for humanity and attention to the wants of his crew. The RECORDER, in summing up, said there did not appear to be any imputation upon the character or conduct of the defendant out of this transaction ; but it appeared clear, from the evidence, he had not ful filled that duty the Act of Parliament under which the indictment was found, and which had a very im portant object, required of him. It was very neces sary for the protection of seamen engaged in the merchant service, that the Act of Parliament should be strictly carried out ; and if the jury believed the evidence, it was clear the defendant had infringed its provisions, and that he had neglected his duty in not obtaining a certificate from the magistrate at Port Nelson, stating, if it really were the case, that the complainant had deserted the vessel. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty, but at the same time strongly re commended the defendant to the merciful considera tion of the Court. The RECORDER sentenced the defendant to pay a fine of 201. to the Queen. The fine was immediately paid, and the defendant left the Court, accompanied by his friends. James Johnson, who had been remanded from last session on a charge of burglary, was placed at the bar. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Horry. The case was fully proved, and he was sentenced to transportation for ten years. In the course of the day, the grand jury returned true bills against Joseph Elder and - William Burgess, for the forgery upon the Bank of England. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Thomas Barry, a respectably-dressed young man, who was remanded on Saturday, on a charge of attempting to pick a lady's pocket on Ludgate-hill, for the purpose of making inquiries into his character, was again brought up in charge of police-constable Wardle, 325. A policeman of the L division of the metropolitan police, stated that he had known the prisoner for the last four years as a member of the swell mob. About that time he was taken into custody for assaulting the police, and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment. lie sub sequently, about two months since, was brought up be fore the magistrates for thrusting a lighted link in the face of a policeman, and was sent to prison for 14 days. He was a well-known character. Alderman JOHNSON said he should send him for seven days for his present offence, and, as he appeared to be so well known to the police, he had no doubt it would not be long before he would be in their custody again. . Charles Why, a young urchin, about nine years of age, was charged with stealing a sovereign entrusted to him, the property of George Brown, hairdresser and per fumer, of No. 17, Ludgate-hill. _ Alderman JotiNso; said that the lad had been often before brought to the Court. On the last occasion he was sent, it appeared, with half-a-crown to buy some meat for the purpose of making a little beef tea for his sister, who was lying dangerously ill, and that he then absconded and spent the whole of the money. It ap peared that he was incorrigible, and for his present offence he should send him for three months to Bride well ; and in the meantime see what could be dune with him. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXCISE INFORMATION.— William Coots and John Hay were charged by Mr. Knyvitt, an Excise officer, nith having sold gin in Hyde Park, without a license. Knyvitt said he had received information that persons were in the habit of breaking the law by selling gin to the skaters on the Serpentine, and that, acting on this information, he went to Hyde Park on Sunday afternoon to make observations. Ile saw one of the defendants with a table before him in the park selling something from a bottle to various persons. He saw the other de fendant place a small bottle on the table, from which both defendants drank a glass of some liquor. Witness went up to the defendants, and asked what they charged for a glass? One of them replied the charge for a glass of peppermint-water was 2d. Witness asked what was charged for a glass of gin, and on being told 2d. he or dered a glass, and was served with the gin, for which he paid. The defendants were afterwards given into cus tody. In their possession several bottles were found. These bottles were either full of peppermint-water or smelt as if they had only had peppermint-water in them. The only bottle containing gin was the small bottle out of which witness was served. In defence, one of the accused stated that after having dinner on Sunday he asked his companion to fetch some gin for their own use. When the gin was brought they drank some of it, and at that moment the Excise officer came up, and as he wanted some gin and not peppermint-water, and there being about a glass of it in the bottle, he was supplied with a single glass. The defendants further said that they only sold peppermint water for the accommodation of the skaters. Mr. NIALTBY had no doubt that gin had been sold im properly, but under all circumstances he was of opinion that the present was not such a case as called for a con viction, and he should, therefore, dismiss the complaint. BENEVOLENCE.—The Earl of C— sent 51., and A. 8., Conduit-street, il., for the poor-box. UNION-HALL. A respectable tradesman of the name of Dronsart, carrying on business in the City, made an application to the magistrate under the following circumstances : He stated that he was the brother of Fanny Dronsart, a young female, who was charged, in conjunction with a Frenchman named Charles Richart, with stealing a gold watch and gold neck-chain, the property of a lady named Williams, in Stamford-street, and that they were examined at that court on Saturday ; that since then, he (applicant) had had an interview with his sister in the county gaol, and that she there apprised him that while they were under examination at that court oa the day above specified, her fellow-prisoner (Richart) made a confession of his guilt to her, said that he had taken the watch and chain out of Miss Williams's drawer, and had pledged the former article at the shop of Mr. Atten borough, the pawnbroker, in Fleet-street. The ap plicant added that he was persuaded his unfor • tunate sister had no concern whatever in the robbery. Mr. TRAILL said the charge was brought before his colleague, Mr. Cottingham; that he was of opinion the latter gentleman, would, under the circumstances just mentioned, sanction her liberation on entering into her re cognisance to be present on Wednesday, the day ap pointed for the next examination. The magistrate then directed Burridge, the chief usher, to proceed to Fleet street, and ascertain whether the watch was pledged, as described, at the pawnbroker's. The officer returned, and reported that the watch was pledged on Monday last (the day on which it was stolen) by a man answering the description of Richart. Mr. TRAILL, upon this information, sent an order for the liberation of the applicant's sister from the county gaol; and being afterwards brought up to this Court, and the necessary bail being entered into, she left the Court with her brother. WORSHIP-STREET. John Harman, alias White, a notorious " smasher," was charged upon the police sheet with uttering a counterfeit half-crown to Mr. Edmund Warlter, a butcher in Durham-street, Bethnal-green-road. It appeared from the statement of police -sergeant K 8 that, on Saturday evening, the prisoner entered the prosecutor's shop, and in payment of some trifling article he tendered a half-crown piece, which Mr. Warlter im mediately discovered to be spurious, and, on looking at the utterer, at once recognised him as being the same person who had practised a similar imposition upon him on the preceding day. On being charged with the fact, the prisoner made a sudden attempt to repossess himself of the coin, which, in the struggle fell to the ground, and finding the butcher was determined to secure it, the prisoner caught up one of his cleavers, and made a cut at his head with such force that, but for his fortunately evading the blow, must have produced fatal conse quences. The prisoner, after a violent stiaiggle, was overpowered, and given into the custody of a policeman, who conveyed him to the station-house. While the charge was being there taken against him, the prisoner made another attempt to snatch the money from the hand of the prosecutor ; but, instead of getting posses sion of the base coin, he grasped hold of a large penny • piece, which ho ifuniediately thrust into his mouth, and made an attempt to swallow. He was observed, how ever, instantly to turn black in the face, the pie ce having got tightly fixed in his gullet, and, after some abortive attempts on the part of the officers to dislodge it, he was conveyed, in a state of strangulation, to the London ea w n h e e a re dd t e h d e t c h o a i t n twheasprfiosorcneedr stilldow r n e his tu t h e r d o a t n t. The 'i° s!) i s t el l i the hospital in such a condition as at present entirely precluded the possibility of his removal . Mr. BROUGLITON gave di rect i ons to. the sergeant to keep his eye upon the case , an d when the prisoner had sufficiently h d sufficiently recovered, to b r i ng hi m to the court, to meet the charge against him. THAMES POLICE. On Monday James Bridgman, alias Smith, and with a great many other ukases, was brought before M r . Bro derip, charged with breakinginto the Union Chapel, Poplar, with intent to commit a felony. Henry Plewrite, a police-constable, No. 106 K, s t a t e d that on Saturday morning, the attention of the inhabi tants in the neighbourhood of the chapel was attracted by the groans of a man, which gradually became fainter. About six o'clock information of the occurrence was sent to the station-house, and he walked round the chapel, and heard a low moaning, and cries of "Help, save me, lam dying !" Having procured the keys, he searched the interior for some time, and ultimately traced the sounds to the chimney of the vestry-room, and then saw s a V U m an ' s unable l egs,toa do n so. d attemp u te e d a t i oenhaul force but him he up the chimney, but with no better success, and the man in a low tone said he was stuck fast in the chimney and attemptedhlm t dying, and that he could not hold out much longer. He ' immediately procured assistance and demolished the chimney with pick-axes and crow-bars. About eight o'clock the prisoner was rescued, quite insensible. A surgeon was called in, who round him in the last stage of exhaustion from the cold and bruises he had inflicted upoa himself in his efforts to get out of the chimney, where he must have remained for five or six hours. After the pri- soner was rescued, he was sent to the London Hospital, and he had just been fetched from that place to answer the charge against him. He knew the prisoner to be a notorious thief, and he examined the chimney after his apprehension and discovered that the top of it had been taken off and the prisoner had descended through the opening, and was proceeding towards the vesti y room for the purpose of robbing it, when ho became fixed in the chimney. Mr. George Cross, of No. 6, Titchbourne•court, Hol born, said that on the Ist or 2d of December, 1842, the prisoner made application to him for employment, and said he could make himself handy. He ordered him to come on the following Monday, and found him some work to do. The prisoner said he had no lodgings to go to, and asked permission to sleep in the house. H. con- sented to his doing so, although such an arrangement was extremely inconvenient. Next morning, before any one else was stirring, the prisoner decamped after plun dering the house of a quantity of tools belonging to wit ness and a journeyman in his employ, the apprentice's wearing apparel, two pillows from the bed on which he slept, and other property. The prisoner, who was very ill and weak, and was covered with soot and dirt, on being called on for his defence, faintly articulated —"I have nothing at all to say." Mr. BRODERIP remanded the prisoner till Tuesday next, and he was led away by the gaoler. Monday the Mercers•' Company forwarded their an nual contribution of 104. to the poor-box of the Court. On Saturday the Earl of C--- sent 51.

From information received by the superintendent, be thou ht it advisalle to pay a passing visit to the h ouse i n question ; accordingly en the eveni ng o f M onday last he " dropped in," like Paul Pry, " hoping he did'nt intrude," and iu a short time dropped on a very suspicious-looking personage, who, with his female companion, had been domiciling at that establishment since the previous Thursd'iy. At the sight of th e of fi cer the veritable " Juck" became alarmed —and this circumstance, combined with the finding of seventeen skeleton keys and two jemmies, made out a case sufficiently strong to warrant the super intendant in apprehending him. This he accordingly did, aad the next morning he was taken before the bench of magistrates, who considering " prevention far better than cure," dispatched the worthy to grind corn or wind, as the case might be, at the celebrated Nortbleach mill, for the term of three calendar months.—Chelienharn Journal.

The public sales have contained chiefly 2,711 bags Bengal, 79 cases 80 bags Penang (subject to 32s per cwt duty, and five per cent, thereon), which was chiefly disposed of, but went off heavily, and in some instances at rather lower prices for the inferior descriptions, whilst a small portion of the better sorts of white brought fully previous prices. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the East and West India was 40 hhds, and there were taken for home consumption 1,231 hhds 118 tierces 292 barrels. The: stock in the same places is 9,880 hhds 1,232 tierces 1,882 barrels.

TEA.—The deliveries are increasing, as usual about Christmas time, and a steady business is doing at about previous rates. (From the London New Price Current of Dec. I : SUGAR.-To-day there was more activity in the West India Sugar market ; a fair business was transacted, , f 4 and bright yellow descriptions, which were the most in ; 34 request, in several instances fetched prices rather above those previously quoted ; other kinds sustained the former value; the market has decidedly assumed a firmer 1 , 4 appearance. The total purchases amounted to 420 hhds, % &c., including a public sale of 100 hhds and 12 tierces of Barbadoes Sugar, which went off with more animation, and at prices is to 2s above those of the former sale for midd and good, and 6d to is per cwt for low descriptions; good yellow fetched 62s 6d to 64s 6d, good middling fits 6d to G2s, middling 5 5 3 s 6d to 60s, low 55s to 56s 6d, and one lot very low 53s 6d per cwt.

FOREIGN.-The market has presented a quiet appear ance for Foreign Sugar since last Tuesday. In yellow % Havannah there has b een on l y a li m i te d b us i ness lys , transacted by private treaty, but previous rates are sustained ; 1,000 boxes have been disposed of 4 14 at 20s 6d to 21s Gd, and a small parcel at 22s 1 per cwt. White is not offered upon lower terms. 4 Brown Brazil is held for the former currency, and a fair y i , demand has existed at 17s to 18s 6d for middling to fine quality, but white has been taken sparingly at 21s to 24s ; the small parcels of other descriptions disposed of privately have been upon previous terms.

At auction, 684 bags of Madras A % fetched 8s to 8s 6d f or goo d ye ll ow, an d 7s 6 d to 8s 6d ! for sea damaged, first and second class. In cleaned Rice extensive purchases have been made, at 14s to 18s for N Patna, and at 23s to 27s for Carolina. 1 COFFEE.-This afternoon there were four public sales of Ceylon Coffee, containing 1,476 bags ; holders were inclined to realise, and submitted to a reduction on pre vious rates of is to 2s per cwt ; nearly the whole found purchasers, viz.-low ord 495, good ord pale 50s to 51s 6d, real good ord 52s to 52s 6d, fine ord 53s to 53s 6d, country damaged first class 50s to it 50s Gd, second class 495, sea damaged 44s to 525, triage 21s to 28s, a few lots of Plantation went at 58s to 58s ficl for fine fine ord, 69s for low mid, and 63s ,y to 71s 6d for pea berry.
