RAILWAY COMMITTEE. (YESTERDAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE. The Eastern Counties (Cambridge and Huntingdon) Railway Bill passed through Committee. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP X. SHEFFIELD AND LINCOLNSHIRE LINE• The Committee on this project, comprising Viscount Courtenay, Mr. Wall, Mr. Scrope, and Mr. Darby, commenced business this morning by the resumpton of Mr. Fowler's evidence re.pect log the engineering character of the line. Mr. Gouch, C.E., under examination by Mr. Webster, corro borated the accuracy of Mr. Fowler's estimates, and attested the superiority of this line ever that of the London and York by Bawtry. Mr. Bendel, C.E., examined by Mr. HOPE—Has, in company with Mr. Fowler, gone over the country between the termini of this line, and considers It the best that could have been selected. The junction with the Grimsby line is most favourably effected, and forms a most important ingredient in the accommodation afforded the districts, more especially to Gainsborough, and collaterally to Hull, by forming an indirect communication with, Sunderland, and thus enabling the coal to be brought down speedily and econo mically to the districts intersected by this line, while it offers lateral accommodation wholly excluded by the Bawtry branch of the London and York. Mr. Fowler, a land valuer of thirty years' experience in Shef geld, deposed to having surveyed the line of this railway, for the purpose of computing the cost of the land, &C., on all the line ex cept between Lincoln and Gainsborough, and gave in the following estimate : Purchase of land Damage to property . Land scheduled not required 563 5 0 Buildings not required Contingencies ... 2,000 0 0 Besides other items. Mr. Jeffcock, a land valuer, who had been engaged to make an estimate of the cost as between Lincoln and Gainsborough, stated that the sum he named for that construction was 82,2881. 7s. 2d., making, in all, a gross cost of 100,7781. 9s. Id. This having closed the case of the promoters of the line, Mr. TALBOT, Q.C., then addressed the Committee on behalf of certain parties who considered themselves aggrieved by the course of the projected Sheffield and Lincolnshire line. As representative of Mr. Hutchinson, in the first place, he complained of the rail way passing within 240 yards of that gentleman's house, and so encircling it, that from whatever window the family looked out, the embankment, and nothing but the embankment, of the line is visible. Some witnesses had insinuated that Mr. Hutchinson's posi tion was analogous to that of a retired tradesman, inasmuch as he chose to domicile in a cottage. From the poets, and other equally infallible evidence, it was known that in cottages was substan. tial happiness to be found." Whether Mr. Hutchinson had been fortunate enough to find that substantial happiness, he did not know ; but sure he was he enjoyed both comfort and luxury there. And it was generally believed that the principles of the British Con stitution, so much vaunted for their indiscriminating justice, were essentially those of equal protection to the man whosebirth was cha racterised by the discovery of a silver spoon within his month, 4nd the less fortunate, though not less honoured man, who had earned equal wealth by greater toil Such protection was now sought at the hands of the Committee, and he felt assured that the suppliants would not appeal in vain. With respect to Mr. Foljambe, even a greater grievance was incurred. The line would intersect his pro. perty for a distance of no less than four miles, and de stroy portions of different estates, whose beauty and value could not be exaggerated. But, forsooth, it was said that Mr. Foljambe's opposition was cn account of his pursuit as a fox. bunter being threatened with diminution by the construction of this line; and Mr. Vernon and Lord Lincoln had not thought it unbe coming their high position to impute such interested motives to their neighbour. Were it not for the respect he felt for the pri vileges of those gentleman he should, and with much more justice, suggest that Mr. Vernon's consideration for the shares he held in the Sheffield line, and Lord Lincoln's interest in having his father's tim ber conveyed to market upon the rail, induced them to give the evi dence they did. But the fact was that physical infirmity had long since prevented Mr. Foljambe from enjoying his favourite sport, and it was purely from the' dread of residential injury that he peti tioned against the line And as to the necessity for thus encroach ing on the rights of property, what were the districts the promoters wished to accommodate ? The town of Work. sap was the only one to be touched in intersection, a town comprising but 6,000 inhabitants, and without traffic enough or through communication to support its publicans. Such being the unimportance and even inutility of the line, he called upon the Committee to regard the just complaints of parties who felt themselves aggrieved, and reject a scheme unprofitable alike to the country and the promoters. The Co itmittee then, at half-past three, adjourned till twelve to-morrow. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. THURSDAY, JULY 31. The Lords' amendments to the following Billa were ag •4(•d to : Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway. Oxthat aryl Rugby Railway. Glas ;ow Junction Railway. Erewatkh Valley Railway (No. 2). ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—Croydon, August 1, The commission for the county of Surrey was opened yesterday by Lord Chief Justice Tindal, and both Courts this morning proct eded to business, the Chief Justice presiding on the Civil side, and Mr. Justice Co'eridge in the Crown Court. The calendar of prisoners is ye y light, but on the civil side 106 causes are entered, twelve of which arc sp, cial jury cases, and it is not expected that the list will he got through in:less than a fortnight. CitOW N Mr. Justice Cor.F.RaDoe, in his charge is the grand jury, congratubted them upon the lightness of the ca lendar, and at the same time observed, that none of the cases, so far as he was able to ascertain the fact from those depositions that had been returned, involved any difficulty or point of law. He wade the reservation with regard to the depesitions that had been returned, bee t se it appeared th tt, in a great many cases, the depositions had not been sent by the committing m Agis tram. This neglect was likely to lead to very great inconvenience, because, in the first place, it was the meats of preventirg the judg n any particular case, from expia'ning the law, as appl)ing to it, to the grand jury, and it also tended to encumber the judge in the performance of his duty, by preventins him ;from making himself acquainted w;th all the facts of the cases likely to come befor:, him. lie did not wish ta be understood as speak ing offensively, but it should be understood that it was the duty of the committing magistrates to return the de positions on the day the judge came into the county to open the Commission, and the magistrate who neglected to do so WAS liable to be fine], He wished, however, that :so unp'easant a du'y would not be cast upon the Court, but that in future the depositions would be re turned earlier. Maria Hancock was indicted for stealing a watch, the property of a young man, named Barthropp. The charge was clearly made out, and the jury re turned a verdict of Guilty. She was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. In this case there was certainly no ground for com plaint of the law's delay, a; it appeared that the rob bery was committed on Thursday evening ; the prisoner was sent for trial yesterday morning, the grand jury found the bill, an •I she was tried and sentenced, all within twenty-tour hours. The business in the Civil side was devoid of interest. NORFOLK ClRCUlT 7 lpswich,..luly 30. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON. ) CHILD RDER. - Catherine Jar, old, the younger, aged 21, and Catherine Jarrold, the elder, aged 53 , pleaded Not Guilty to an indii•tmeot charging the first-named prisoner with the wilful murder of her male child on the 12th of December last, and the elder prisoner with harbouring and encouraging her after the cotnmis,ion of that crime. Mr. O'MALLEY conducted the case for the prosecution, and from the evidence of Miss Davey, a great invalid, it appeared that the younger prisoner, about Christmas last, was in attend ance on her a, a nurse, and that she was taken suddenly ill on the night of the 12th of December, during the whole of which she seemed to be in gi eat pain. At one time the witness heard a shrill cry or squeak, which she could not at all account for, but, as it did not recur, she took no notice of it, and fell asleep. Early in the morning the prisoner got up, and went away with a bundle, saying that during her illness she had made a dirt on the floor, and that her mother would come directly and clean it up. This she did, and with great industry, but, notwithstand ing her efforts, Mrs. Davey Mainly perceived marks of blood on the spot. Notwithstanding this circumstance, no notice was taken of the matter, arid the girl returned in three weeks to her service, when she observed to her mistress that she had " got down her fat nicely." Although the neigh bours, and especially those who lived near the residence of the mother, hail frequently observed that " Kitty must be in the family way," no stir was made on her suddenly resuming her accustomed shape about Chrismas time, and the affair would have altogether died away ss.on, had not Mr. Bead, who lived next door to Mrs. Jerrold, fished up out of a drainage well, which was common to both their dwellings, a bundle, containing the body of a full-grown male child, which had to all appearances been deposited there at least six months. This discovery was made on the IRh of June last, and when it was communicated to the two prisoners, the mother saul to the daughter, " Ah, Kitty, I said you would be found out ;" to which she replied, " That be d----d, they have found out nothing." Mr. Poveze having addressed the jury on behalf of the two priseners, Mr. Baron ALDERSON summed up the case to them, ob serving that there did not appear to be any evidence what ever to show that the mother had any knowledge at all that her slaughter had committed the foul off,•nee of murdering her own child. As far as she was concerned there ought to be an acquittal ; and as for the girl, it was fo r the jury to say whether they saw enough to warrant a verdict of wilful murder. They must be satisfied that the child found in the well was hers, and that, having been secretly delivered of it at Miss Davey's, she had put it into the well herself, in order to warrant a verdict of guilty of even the minor offence. The jury retired fur some time, and ul , imately found the girl Guilty of conceaiiitg the birth of the child, and Acquitted the elder prisoner—whereupon the former was sentenced, in most suitable language, to six months' imprisonment. Having s Taylor, aged 36, stood charged with set fire to a barn at Debenham, on the night of the 11th of June last. Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Couch were coursel for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Prendergast appeared for the prisoner. The prosecutor in this case is a gentleman named Norris, who on the night in question was posse sse d o f a barn, contain ing 24 c,ombs of wheat ; and thi s b arn stoo d a little out of the village of Debenham; and it app eare d f rom the evidence of James Oxbourne, one of the Suffolk policemen, Laetaes he was going his rounds on the night in question, at half-past one, he saw a light at the barn of the prosecutor, towaids w hi, : h he immediately hastened. At the same moment that he saw the flames, for such they were, he was aware that a man was standaig by the barn, and when he came within forty yards of him he recognised him to be the prisoner, whom he knew well, and had seen only :he night before, when he came up to him drun k, and offered him Is. if he would lock him up in the station. As soon as the man was aware of the policeman's preserve he ran away, the latter pur suing him, crying nut, " Charley, what the devil are you after bore ?" In a few minutes the witness lost sight of the man, bet he pursued his way on to the station, whence, having given the alarm, he returned to the fire He remained there a short time ; he went back to the village, and on his way met the prisoner walking in a white jacket towards the fire, and straightway charged him with being its author, whereupon the prisoner drew his attention to his coat, and said, " Do you mean to say I am the man ?" " Yes," said the policeman, " but you have changed your coat since then, for you had on a blue one then ;" to which the prisoner simply answered, " Well, I'll break your neck if you attempt to take me." Abashed by this threat, the policeman, actually walked back with the prisoner to the fire, where the latter remained half an hour, and then returned to his lodgings, where he was even tually taken into custody by another policeman in the course of the same morning, and a blue and a white frock-coat found on his bed. Mr. PRENDERG AST addressed the jury for the prisoner, and His LORDSHIP summed up the case to them, leaving it to them to say whether they could rely beyond all reasonable doubt on the proof of the prisoner's identity. The jury having retired for nearly an hour, at length returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Nehemiah Sell was charged with assaulting and wounding one Richard Ruffles at Haverill, with intent to do some grievous bodily harm to him on the 2d of April last; and Thomas Dieerson stood charged with inciting him to commit the said offence. Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Couch were counsel for the prosecu tson ; Mr. Prendergr.st appeared for the prisoner Dickerson. The prosecutor is a miller, re,iding at Haverill, in this county, where he occupies premises about half a mile from the town. Mr. Ruffles would seem to be a man of timid nerves, and keenly alive to the horrors attendant on burglary and any interference with the rights of property. This disposition became known to the prisoner Dickerson, a man of dissolute, idle courses, and he accordingly marked him for an easy prey, for on the 28th of February he went to him and told him that " Jack Briggs was agoing to rob his house soon." " How can that be," quoth the simple grinder of corn, " seeing that Jack Briggs has been transported 2" " That's very true," said his tormentor, "hut there are four of his pals agoing to do the job, for they axed me to join them." The prisoner then wound up his information by promising to find out the exact day, and warn the miller and the constable, so that they might give the thieves a warm reception. Thanking him for his kind offices, Mr. Ruffles dismissed the prisoner with 55., and awaited in considerable trepidation the dreaded news. On the 28th of March the prisoner made his appearance again, and said that the robbery had been fixed for the following Sunday, and on that occasion he received some beer for his pains, as well as a watch, which the prosecutor authorised him to pledge, in order to supply himself with funds. On Sunday the prosecutor and the constable kept watch and ward all night, but no thief rewarded their midnight toils, and on the following day Dickerson quietly informed them that it had been put off on account of the snow, but was fixed finally for the following Wednesday ; adding, that when the hour was appointed he would take care to let them know in time, to set themselves in array. During all these interviews the constable expressly cautioned him not to entice any one to commit the offence, in order to verify his predictions, though, if he had any knowledge of an intended crime, he was bound to communicate it. On the Wednesday, about half-past eight o'clock in the evening, Dickerson went to the constable and told him that " everything had been settled, that a man was going to rob the prosecutor that night at ten o'clock, and that he (the constable) would be in plenty of time if he went up at nine o'clock." Upon this the constable at once proceeded to the miller's house, and, entering at the back do3r, found the prosecutor prepared I with bolts and bars and loaded pistols. Before many minutes had elapsed a knock was heard at the front door, which the pro secutor opened, leaving his body-guard quietly seated in the parlour with the lights. Little deeming what was to follow, on this abandonment of all his plans and preparations, the little miller fearlessly flung open his door, and at the same moment received a violent blow on the head from a bludgeon, which laid him en his knees. Ere he could cry out another Wow descended upon the devoted creature, and that was dealt with such good will that it cut open his forehead to the skull and stretched him in the pas sage. Here a faint cry escaped him, which luckily fell on the ear of the man of the law, who, rushing into the passage, arrived just in time to save the life of his friend, over whom a ruffian was standing with uplifted arm, grasping a terrific hedgestick. A blow from the constable's staff paralyzed the sword arm of the man, and a scuffle ensued, which terminated in his capture, when he exclaimed, looking at his handcuffs, '• Well, I'm blessed if 1 aint done." Well satisfied at this re sult, the miller, when be recovered, valiantly presented a cocked pistol at the head of the thief, threatening to shoot him dead if he stirred. As he did not offer to do so, a council of war was held, and it was determined that the pistol should be dischargad in the open air, with the double object of scaring the prisoner's " mates and of summoning to their assistance the miller's man. who had not long before left his work. This had the latter effect, and the prisoner was consigned to safe custody, much to the delight of the miller, who was well con tent to accept his blows as the condition of securing the " foul fiend" whose schemes had cost him many a sleepless night. The man so secured turned nut to be the prisoner Sell, who, when taken before the justices, openly said that Dickerson had " put him up to it." For thi:, on inquiry, there appeared to be no little ground, for it being ascertained that Sell came from slildreth, in Cambridgeshire, a village 25 miles off Have • rill, evidence was swirl produced to slsow that Dickerson had for some little time past been in those parts, soliciting more than one person to go to llaverill and rob his aunt, who always kept 4001., all in sovereigns, in her house, and whose husband was a weak inoffensive man, whom any one might hold with one hand and " lick" with the other. After many overtures he at last succeeded in persuading Sell to undertake the job, and they set out together on foot for Haverill, where they ar rived at seven o'clock, and were seen loitering about till near eight o'clock, when they were close by the mill in a field, from the hedge of which the stake was torn. Mr. Baron ALDERSON, in summing up the evidence to the jury, told them that they must be satisfied that Dickerson had incited Sell to commit a bond fide robbery, in which case he would be answerable for all the violence which Sell might use to accomplish that purpose. If, however, they should be of opinion that he was only carrying on a villainous scheme for his own profit, intending that no robbery or violence should be committed, but that his victim should be caught in order that his credit with the prosecutor and the constable should be sus tained, he could not be found guilty under this indictment. The jury remained absent in a private room for an hour and upwards, and then returned a verdict of guilty against both the prisoners, who were forthwith, having been each previously committed of felony, transported for fifteen years. John Catchpole, aged 47, was indicted under 7 William IV. and I. Victoria, for having inflicted divers injuries on his wife, dangerous to life, wish intent to kill and murder her. No counsel appearing for the prosecution, the facts on which this serious charge was founded were elicited by the Learned Baron from the prosecutrix and others ; and the case having been most satisfactorily proved, the prisoner was found guilty, on which sentence of death was recorded against him. With this case the assizes for this county and the Norfolk circuit may be said to have terminated, in so far, at least, as the Crown Court was conerned. OXFORD CIRCUIT.-11e/eford, July 29. Lord Denman arrived here this afternoon, and having been received with the usual honours by J. King King, Esq., the High Sheriff, at once proceeded to open the commission at the Shire-hall. His Lordship attended Divine service at All Saints' Church, the cathedral being still under repair,when the Rev. Thomas King, of Malvern, preached the assize sermon. The calendar contains the names of seventeen prisoners, which is, for this county, an unusually small number. They may be classified thus :—Arson, two; cutting and wounding, one ; larceny, seven; receiving stolen goods, one; rape, one; man slaughter, one ; housebreaking, three; burglary. one. There is every possibility that the assizes will be over to-morrow evening. CROW' COURT, JULY 30.—( Before Mr. Justice PAT- TEsoN.) Edward Higgs, apparently about IS years of age. was in dicted for having, at Knighton, stolen, on the 6th of this month, six chickens, the property of John Pritchard. It appeared that a resident in the neighbourhood of Knighton, Walter Taylor by name, had ten chickens of a peculiar breed, which he described as Chinas, not thorough, but a third part bred. Wishing to give these young birds the advantage of travel, and doubtless disapproving of mere domestic education, he sent them to John Pritchard to be taken care of. Pritehard's father-in-law, an elderly marl, fed these tender chickens fur a month or five weeks before the sth of this month, and on that day he, with his own hands, dispensed to them their evening meal ; nay, more, he saw them retire to rest, and then he fol lowed their example. The next day, six of the nine (for one hid previously died) were missing. Afterwards, on the Mon day, six chickens were found to be in the pos.ession of one Richard Turner. who had received them, on the morning of the 6th instant, from the prisoner. The latter, it appeared, asked Turner to let him " loose down some chickens," and being informed he might, took six from his pocket, which he asserted were his own property. These chickens were by divers witnesses sworn to as being the very same that Pritchard had received from Taylor, although it was admitted that other neighbours had chickens of a similar breed; but the most ma terial witne s to this identity was one who, according to our forms of law, could not appear in the box to give evidence, to wit, the mother of the abstracted birds. Many hens, indeed, would take under their wing strange chicks, but this respecta ble hen, said the witness Powell, was not one of those, who would have so treated even a relative, so abso!ntely were her affections wrapped up in her own progeny. She, the moment she had the chickens restored to her, took them at once under her own protection, and thereby bully, it was asserted, proved that they were her'. Rowell was positive himself that they were the same chickens that had been carried off; he recognised them at once. His sight, he indeed admitted, was weak, and he feared he should be unable to recognise the Learned Coun sel for the prisoner, should they ever meet again, hut he was quite sure that if he had presided morning and evening ever that gentleman's breakfast and suioper, as he hail done for the chickens during five weeks, he certainly should not forget him. The whole question was really one of identity. The prisoner's counsel addressed the jury. He called a Mr. Bevan, in whose employment the prisoner had been from the age of nine years, and who said that he had always borne an excellent character for honesty. His Llrdship summed up. and the jury in about ten minutes found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. The Learned Judge then passed sentence of imprisonment, with hard labour, for two months. THE SUN, LONDON, SATUR DA MORNING,7AUGUST 2, 1845. AI I OLAND (.',l !WU I T.— Dcrlpv, July 30. - . - HIGHWAY ROBBERY.— William Southall, aced 18, James Taylor, alias Sims, aged 28, and Thomas Southall, aged 24, were charged with having, at Kirk Langley, assaulted one Isaac Selby, and stolen one JO!. and three bl. Bank of England notes, 10s. in silver, and a promissory note for 301., and other articles, his property. Southall pleaded guilty. Mr. Willmore conducted the prosecution. The prisoners were undefended. Isaac Se!by deposed that, on the 2d of July he was on his way home to Dolbury Lees, from Derby, in a pony gig, having his sister. in-law, Ann Bennett, with him. When he arrived at Kirk Langley, be saw five men, one of whom ran up to and 1 aid hold of the pony's head. lie had a light coat on. Two of the men had bludgeons, and coiled out to the prosecutor to deliver his money, giving him many severe blows about the head with their weapons, by which his hat was broken through and his head much injured. Mrs. Bennett called out, " Don't murder him, and you shall have all we have got." But ono of them called out, and said, "D—n you, we will murder you." They then proceeded to rifle Mr. Selby's pockets, from which they extracted the valuable property mentioned in the indict ment. The reins were then cut, and the men proceeded to beat the pony, who started off, and ran until he came to the next hill. Sims was identified as the person who laid hold of the reins of the pony. The prisoners were recognised by several witnesses as being seen going in the direction of the place where the robbe. took place. On the followin day Sims changed a Bank of Eng g having purchased a black coat and land 51. note in Barton , douh'e-hrea'ted waistcoat. Oa going into the shop he wore a white blouse. Two witnesses of the nurse of Brough end Blunt were called, and not appearing, their recognisances were ordered to be es treated. Benre the trial concluded they made their appear ance, were examined, and the entreat taken off, but their ex penses were ordered not to lie paid. The jury found the prisoners Guilty. There was a second indictment for robbery with violence, which was arranged to be taken on the following morning. July 31. On the Nisi Prins side the two special jury cases were dis posed of. One was an action between two attorneys for a libel, The object b e i ng v i n di cat i on of character, a verdict was taken u y consent for the plaintiff for 40e. and costs. The other was a question of right of road. NORTHERN CIRCO IT.-I\ 7 ewcastle-on-Tyne, July 30. Mr. Baron Rolfe entered this tow n f rom D ur h am ear l y i n the afternoon of to-day (Wednesday), and proceeded to open the commission. His Lordship then charged the town grand jury, and some bills having been soon found, t wo c h arges, nei ther of which were of any public Moment; were disposed of. Mr. Justice Cresswell arrived from Durham at aboUt four o'clock, having leinained during the morning at that pl ace to try the last causes on the list. The business on the Crewn side had been finished with the trial of Genie yesterday evening. SOUTH WALES CIRCUIT.—Brecon, July 30. The Court of Assize for the county of Brecon was opened last evening by the Learned Gentleman associated with Mr. Justice Coltman in the several commissions of assize on this circuit, Mr. Sergeant Jones. The Learned Judge arrived in the course of the evening from Cardigan, and his Lordship this morning attended Divine service in St. Mary's Church, and shortly afterwards proceeded to the Town-hall. Legal business has a rather unpropitious aspect, at least for the junior members of the bar. There are only two prisoners in the calendar ; of nisi Arius business there are six causes, including two special juries—namely, Davies v. Parry an Phillips, Knt., v. Pryce. When it is recollected that much time is taken up on the Welsh Circuits in the examination of witnesses by means of interpreters, and that some of the witnesses do not always evince the readiest perception in examination in chief, or catch the drift of occasional cross-fire from an antagonist counsel, it may safely be said that the Court will be occupied up to the litter end of the week. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANYLEBOA E. On Thursday, Mr. William Cole, collector fir the Lambeth Waterworks Company, and who resides at No. 8, 0.(1 Dorset place, Clapham-road, attended at this Court to prefer a charge of assault against Eliza Cole, an interesting-looking woman, his wife ; and it will be seen from the subjoined evidence that many facts of a somewhat singular and unpleasant nature were elicited. Mr. Humphreys appeared for the defendant. Complainant, who took from his pocket a large bundle of papers, which evidently related to law matters, deposed, that on Ft iday last, as he was walking along the New-road, de fendant crossed over from the opposite side, near Quebec-street, and abused him in the most shameful manner ; she also struck him on the face, at the same time sa)ing, " D— your eyes, take that." She had frequently abused him and his relations before, and an action was now about to come on for hearing at Croydon, at the suit of a person who claimed a certain amount for her (defendant's) board, &c., but his answer to that would be, that she had been guilty of adultery, and it would soon be shown whether she was innocent or not. Cross-examined by Mr. Humphreys—l have been separated from defendant ever since she ran away from me, which was in September, 1843. I allowed her at the rate of 401. per year up to the 6th of December last. I never authorised my wife to borrow money for me. Mr. Humphreys here handed in a letter addressed to the de fendant, and signed " William Cole." It was dated May 11, 1844. The said letter, which was read, contained a request that his (complainant's) wife would endeavour to get some one to lend him 401. for two or three months, for which he ..would pay liberal interest. It further set forth that he was 17/. short in his accounts. Mr. Humphreys (to complainant)—ls this letter (showing to him) in your handwriting? Complainant (after some little hesitation)—lt is. Mr. Humphreys—Then how could you have the assurance to swear just now that you never gave your wife authority to ob tain money for you? Complainant (rather confused)—l bad no recollection of it when you spoke to me. Mr. Humphreys—Did you not, in consequence of the letter you wrote, receive 201. from your wife? Complainant —I did, and she told me it was her own. .-......- _ Mr. Humphreys—Do you know Mr. Dainty? Complainant —I know a Mr. T. Dainty, but have never seen him above twine in my life. Mr. Humphreys—Upon your oath, are you not aware that the 201. was borrowed of him ? Complainant—l'd rather de cline answering that question ; it will be a subject for investi gation in another quarter. Mr. Humphreys produced a bill drawn by Mr. Thomas Dainty on complainant for the sum alluded to, and he ( the com plainant) acknowledged that the acceptance to the same was his. In answer to other questions from Mr. Humphreys, com plainant said, " I discontinued the allowance to my wife on the 6th of December last ; when I met her on Friday, the 25th instant, she did not, to the best of my recollection, ask me for money ; I'll swear I (lid net say to her • D— your eyes, no, not a penny shall you have, and if you follow me, I'll give you into custody.' I accused her of having committed adultery, when she struck me and said • D-- your eyes, take that.' It's very likely she might have told me I was a villain. I did not collar her, tear her veil, and pull - the scarf from her shoulders, but I did lay hold of her after she struck me. I was married to her in 1840. I shall not answer you as to whether she had a quan tity of furniture of her own or not at the period of our union." John Gray said that he saw complainant laying hold of the shawl of defendant, who then struck him (complanant) and ca'led him a thief. For the defence, Mr. Humphreys called Frederick Rivers, 1, John-street, New-road, who stated that while talking to a customer at his own door he saw the parties struggling together. Complainant seized hold of defendant by the right shoulder with considerable violence, but witness did not see any blow struck by either ; he at first thought that complainant had got hold of his wife by the throat, and he (witness) heard him make a remark to the effect that he would fix her. Another witness, named Caroline Hatton, servant to Mr. Hodges, Royal Oak, Circus-street, said that she saw com plainant reize his wife very roughly; she got away from him and ran into a house, when he pursued her as far as the door, and threatened that he would punish her. Mr. LONG dismissed the warrant, and the parties then quit ted the court. Mr. Cole seemed to be under much excitement during the proceedings. and took copious notes of the evidence given in the case. Mrs. Cole had several respectable friends with her, and they seemed fully determined upon supporting her to the utmost with regard to her claim for maintenance, and in de- fence of the threatened allegation of adultery. WORSHIP-STREET. • A SERVANT WITHOUT A CHARM:TER.—OH Thursday Ann Williams mai placed at the bar, before Mr. Broughton, the sitting magistrate, upon a t:harge of robbing her master, Mr. Edward Green, a comedian, and Charlotte Augusta Letten was charged as particeps critainis. Both of them appeared about 16 or 17 years of age. Mrs. Sarah Green stated that on Saturday week she took Williams (ihe prisoner) into her serviee without a character, a• she appeared very much digressed. On Monday night last, the witness went to the Albert Salo ,, n, to accompany her husband home after the performance, but on her return home, shortly before twelve, she was alarmed to find that the new servant, whom she had left to take care of the children, had left the house. Upon examination, she discovered that her drawers had been ransacked, and robbed of a cloak, a shawl, three silk and other dresses, and various other things, besides six frocks and nearly all the rest of her children's apparel. Police-constable Smith, of the N division, said that about three o'clock yesterday morning, he found the two prisoners tcgether at a coffee-shop in Old-street, dressed in a part of the stolen apparel, and one of them wearing the cloak, and the other the shawl. Williams at first denied her name, but after wards begged he would intercede to prevent he: being trans ported. Duplicates were found upon them for various articles pawned on T uesd ay. Williams now said she admitted the charge, and she hoped Mrs. Green would not have her sent out of the country. The other prisoner said Williams had asked her to come and live with her, and told her the apparel belonged to her sister. They were committed. WANDS WORTH. CHARGE Or BlGAMY.—Thursday George Brett, a labour ing man about fifty years of age, was charged with marrying Mary hlarkell, his first wife being still alive. The complaint was made by the second wife, who cannot be more than nineteen or twenty years of age: She stated that she lived at Southville, Wandsworth-road, and obtained her living by working at a laundress's. She was married to the prisoner on the 6th of July, at the Baptist Chapel, Clapham common. She lad since ascertained that the pritoner was already married, and had seen his first wife who lived in Port land-place South, Wandsworth-road. Police-constab!e Bent produced the certificate of the mar riage, and stated that he had seen the first wife's certificate, but she would not part with it. From that certificate it ap peared the prisoner was first married in 1814. When witness took the prisoner into custody he said it was a bid job, and he must suter for it. The girl had threatened to drown herself if he did not marry her, and he was compelled to do so. The prisune: was remanded until Monday next. THAMES POLICE. ILLICIT DISTILLATION.—On Thursday Jacob Airell, aged 50, John Jones, 47, and James Wilkinson, 20, were brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with working a private still in an unentered place, at No. 18, James-street, Limehouse-fields, where the elder prisoner has, for the last twenty-eight months, professed to carry on the business of a scum-boiler. On Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock, two Custom house officers, named George and Deane, accompanied by Day and Beere, constables of the K divisip, went to the house occupied by Atrell, which is detached from the main road, and surrounded by a fence, while George and Deere were posted at the back of the premises to prevent a retreat in that direction. Dean and Day went to the front door and knocked. A female voice from within asked them who they wanted, and Dean replied that he had a message for Mr. Jones. The door was immediately opened, and the officers entered. They were armed with pistols, as a desperate re sistance was expected, and the woman immediately raised an alarm. The lights within were extinguished ; but the officers passed through the house into a shed in the rear of the premises, where they found a sixty gallon copper-still in operation with a fire under it, and whisky running from the worm. Jones and Wilkinson were both in the still. room. The former was without his coat, and had his shirt sleeves tucked up. The other was dressed and had his hat on. Directly af terwards George and Deere brought Atrell into the house. They captured him as he was attempting to make his escape ever a wall in the rear of the premises, and be pretended to be very drunk. The place was found to contain all the materials and plant for carrying on distillation on a very large scale, in cluding 1. ur eighty gallon tubs of molasses in a state of fer mentatien, fourteen tubs of a similar description, which had contained molasses and had been worked off, and live jars con taining 14 gallons of very clean everproof spirits. Atrell admitted he was the proprietor of the place, and that the things belonged to him. The woman proved to be his wife, and she was not molested. Jones said he was out of employ when Atrell engaged him, and he was glad to obtain work anywhere. W iikinson stoutly denied having been concerned in the illicit distillation. His sister was married to Jones, who lived on the premises; and he went to the house to pay her a visit, and was about to leave when the officers ..ntered and took him into custody. The officer, on being questioned by the Magistrate, said they were watching the premises for an hour and a half before they entered and made the seizure, and that no one came in or out during that time. Mr. BALLANTINE said he had no doubt at all as regarded Atrell and Jones, and as Wilkinson was on the premises he was bound to convict him also ; but if he could make it appear to the Board of Exc'se, by petition, that he was an innocent man, and that he merely went to the house upon a visit to his sister, mercy would be extended towards him. He then convicted the prisoners, and sentenced them to pay a fine to the Queen of 30/. each, and in default committed them to the House of Cor rection for three months, there to be kept to hard labour. It is an extraordinary fact, that six private stills have been seized in the neighbourhood of Stepney during the last twelve months, and in one case the illicit distillation was carried on so extensively that the value of the implements and spirits seized exceeded 3,000/. WINDSOR, THURSDAY.—This morning, at an early hour, a large number of sporting men assembled in the Great Park, to witness a match between Mr. Lawrence's bay filly and Mr. Webber's bay colt surprise, for 30/. The conditions of the match were to walk a mile for 101., trot a mile for 101., and gallop a mile for 101. The walk came off first in Queen Anne's ride—even betting, mare for choice. The cob took the lead, kept it the whole of the distance, and won cleverly; the mare broke and was pulled round twice. The trotting match came off next-2 to lon the cob; both started off well together, and there was no perceptible advantage on either side for the first half mile. The cob afterwards broke twice, thus allowing the mare to come in an easy winner. The galloping match-3 and 4 to 1 on the mare; the cob made the running at starting at a strong pace, which he kept up for three.quarters of a mile, when he was challenged by the mare, but he defeated her easily by a length. The horses were cleverly ridden by their owners A GLUTTON. —Thursday a fellow named George Sidler, a cabman, living at Mile-end, undertook for a wager of 20s. to cat within the space of two hours a leg of mutton, weighing 91b., a peck of peas, and 51b. of potatoes, which he accomplished, having twelve minutes to spare. During his meal he drank nearly three quarts of beer, and at its conclusion declared he could have managed a pound or two more within the Same time. FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

It will have been observed in our last quola`ions of the price of bullion in Paris, that the premium has suddenly fallen about 6 per mille, or nearly 2-3ds per cent., as compared with the quotations of the previous week. This has again re. stored the rates of gold in the two countries to about the sane position as they were in before the last decline in the exchanges between Paris and London. RIOTS ON THE NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY.- Most serious assaults and breaches of the peace were committed on Saturday night, Sunday, and Monday, last week, by the railway workmen in the Cockburnspath district. Saturday being their payday, constables and innocent persons, all met the same fate, from a number of drunken fellows, wheresoever they met them. Several persons are so much injured that their lives are despaired of; others escaped with broken and dislocated bones. Such, we understand, is the deplorable state of the districts on these occa sions, that Sir John Hall, Bart., the resident magistrate, has deter mined to have the assistance of the military next pay.day.— Berwick Warder. FATAL ACCIDENT ON TIIE RIVER.—On Wednes day night last, three gentlemen, Mr. James Russell, a gentleman of independent circumstances, and Messrs. Robert and William Paine, surveyors, residents at Walton, accompanied by a water. man named Winter, were crossing the river Thames in a boat at the Witford ferry. The party crossed the river in safety, and the gentlemen were on the point of landing, when Mr. Russell, in stepping from the stern of the boat, missed his footing and fell into the water. The tide was running high at the time, and the unfortunate gentleman was swept onward by the current. The party in the boat immediately put off to render assistance, and rowed rapidly to assist the immersed gentleman, whose cries for aid were distinctly heard. Owing to the darkness which prevailed,, the boat was rowed in a wrong direction, and whilst they were en deavouring to bring the boat round it capsized, and Messrs. Paine, together with the waterman, were immersed in the river. Mr. 11. Paine luckily grasped the gunwale of the boat, and held on until his cries attracted the attention of some people at the Admiral Bowen beer.house, who put off in two boats and picked him up. Mr. William Paine, being an expert swimmer, reached the shore in safety. The waterman also contrived to reach the bank, but in so exhausted a state that, in endeavouring to raise himself from the water, he fell bank into the stream, and was carried away by the current to some distance. The poor fellow then contrived to clutch the bank, but being completely exhausted, he was on the point of again sinking, when his cries for help drew Mr. William Paine to the spot, who rescued him from his perilous situation. ACCIDENT TO ONE OF TIIE VETERANS OF TRAFAL OAII.—On Thursday an old pensioner of the name of John Rosier (who was on board the Victory at the time of the action off Tra falgar) met with the following accident :—lt appeared that the old roan, who formerly possesszd a very powerful voice, recently had the honour of singing before her Majesty and Prince Albert whilst upon a visit at Greenwich Hospital, and since that period he has occasionally sung in some of the concert rooms. Last evening, after having gone through one of Dibdin's ballads at Mr. Smith's, the Hope Tavern, Clare market, in leaving the stage he suddenly slipped down the two or three steps. On being picked up it was discovered that the poor old fellow had fallen with his leg under him, and with such violence as to have broken it in two places. FRIGHTFUL CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA.—Last Sun. day morning a labourer in the employ of Mr. Hallett, a farmer at Cuckfield, took three horses from the stable and turned them into the field. Shortly afterwards one of the animals began to evince symptoms of hydroplu,bia, tearing up the earth, dashing wildly about the field, biting the other horses most fearfully, and gnawing the gate.posts and rails, seizing the stones in the path with its teeth, and throwing them intr. the air with great violence. Whilst the fit was on, a boy accidentally passed through the field, and had a most miraculous escape. He was attacked by the infuriated animal, and he may attribute his fortunate escape to his umbrella, which the horse seized with great violence, tossed it into the air, and then bounded off, leaving the poor boy an opportunity of escape, of which he speedily availed himself. The fit was on him several hours, during which time he had lacerated himself in a shocking manner. At length he became exhausted, and dropped dead in the field. The other horses have since been destroyed. FATAL ACCIDENT FRoM EATING DRAWING COLOVRS. — On Wednesday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Queen's Head, Pitfield-street, Iloxton, on the body of Arthur H. Bentley, aged two years and a half, a fine infant, whose death was the effect of poison, which was contained in colours which were composed of asseniate of copper. It appeared that deceased was living with his father, Mr. A. Bentley, fancy stationer, No. 20, Pitfield.street. On Monday afternoon last, about five o'clock, his mother gave him a slice of bread and butter, with which he went into the shop. After he had been there several minutes he re. turned into the parlour, when she became alarmed on observing him vomiting a large quantity of greenish matter. Mr. Packer, a surgeon of the neighbourhood, being called in, discovered that he was suffering from the effects of poison, when it was found that he had swallowed several squares of green drawing colours that were in a drawer in the counter, within his reach. The poor child, after enduring severe agony, died about two o'clock the fol. lowing morning. Verdict," Accidental death." CORONER'S INQUEST.—SUICIDE FROM MATRIMO NIAL DIFRERENCES.—Wednesday afternoon an inquest was taken by Mr. Baker, at the Queen's Head, Pitfield-street, lioxton, on view of the body of William Murphy, aged 20, a tailor, who com mitted suicide at No. 7, Wood street, Old-street-road, where he was living with his wife. Deceased was married on last Christmas. day, since which time he has appeared frequently in a state of me. lancholy, in consequence of quarrels with his wife. That morn. ing, about ten o'clock. he went to his father's house, where he was followed by his wife, who asked him to give her some money; he refused to do so, when they both returned home, and he locked himself in his room. After being alone about an hour, his wife, finding she could get no answer from him, burst the door open, when he was found behind it suspended by a rope, life being quite extinct. Deceased was in almost destitute circumstances, there being only a few rags and two broken chairs in the room. Ver. diet, " Temporary insanity." DEATII FROM A VARICOSE VEIN.—MT. Baker held an inquest on Wednesday at the White Bear, Bartholomew-square, St. Luke's, on the body of Mrs. Eliza Berryman, aged 37, wife of a shopkeeper in King.street. It appeared that deceased was far advanced in pregnancy, and had swollen legs and veins, and that one of the latter, just above the ancle, burst on Saturday evening last while she was lifting a tray of bread from off a baker's head. She called the ledgers to her assistance, and imprudently placed the leg in hot water, which of course augmented the bleeding. Mr. Bruce, a surgeon, was then called in, and found her in a dying state, from exhaustion, having lost at least half a pail full of blood. She was too far gone to be rallied by stimulants, and died in a quarter of an hour after the arrival of the surgeon. Verdict, Died from excessive hemorrhage, caused by a varicose vein."

MARKET NE W:.4-(YEST CORN EXCHANGE. Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our msr ket have been on the increase, they having exceeded 4,400 quarters, yet the stands were rather scantily filled with ga ng pies. Owing to the prevailing changeable weather, holders of Wheat of home produce were very tirm to-day, and In some instances they obtained Is. per quarter more money for selected qualities; the value of other kinds being fully stir, ported. In free foreign Wheat a good business h as d oin g extreme rates, while parcels under lock commanded an to vanceof from is. to 2s. per quarter. Barley was in sluggish"' quest at late rates. Malt was in moderate request, and price§ were supported. Inferior Oats and Beans were somewh at lower. In other Grain no alteration. ARRIVALS. Barley. - qrs.
