The Commission for the county of Kent was opened on Monday, and this morning, at ten o'clock, both Courts proceeded to business, the Lord Chief Justice presiding at NIA Prins, and Mr. Baron Alderson in the Crown Court. The business is heavy, there being twenty-five causes entered on the Civil Side, six of which are special jury cases, and among them is that of Bacon v. Bridges, involving a question of gavelkind tenure, which has been under litigation a considerable time, and in which Sir T. Wilde and Mr. Fitzroy Kelly are spe cially retained. On the Crown side, there aro upwards of a hundred prisoners for trial, but nearly the whole of the offences charged are of a very trivial character. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Mary Anne Jones, 21, was indicted for a robbery with violence upon Mary Allison, and stealing two pounds in silver, a half-sovereign and other property belonging to Joseph Allison, her husband. It appeared that the prosecutrix and her husband re side at Minster in the Isle of Sheppy, and on the even ing of the 16th of December, she was sitting at home alone, when a woman and a man came to the door and demanded alma. She told them she bad nothing to give when the man said they would see whether she had or not, and they then forced their way into the house. She screamed out " Murder," and the woman seized her and thrust her into a chair; and, having struck her, held her down, while the man rifled the drawers, and took away the sum mentioned in,..tlat indictment, and every other portable article of value that he could lay his hands upon. They then made off, leaving the prose cutrix in hysterics. Her cries brought some of her neighbours to her assistance, when, from the description she gave, the prisoner was apprehended the same evening, and identified. On being cross-examined, she admitted that she was much alarmed at the time; and, although she now positively swore to the identity of th• prisoner, yet there were circumstances to induce a belief that she might by possibility be mistaken. The Learned JUDGE having expressed his opinion that, in so serious a charge, where there was not the least corroboration of the testimony, it would not be safe to convict the prisoner, the jury accordingly re turned a verdict of Not Guilty.

After this the witness and the men parted, but in about an hour he fell in again with them at the Feathers, when he attempted to sell the birds for them. This being the cue for the prosecution, and four of the birds being clearly iden tified by the keeper and gardener, Mr. Justice PATTF.SON proceeded to sum up the case to the jury, telling them that this was not a poaching case, but a pure felony, there being no doubt whatever but that birds so reclaimed from a state of nature were proper subjects of felony. The jury having found all the prisoners Guilty, they were severally sentenced to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour. The prisoner was removed from the dock in a fainting fit. Edward Duckett, a labouring man, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with having stolen a case of surgi cal instruments, value 31., the property of the President and others of St. George's Hospital. The Learned JUDGE told the prisoner that he was a most ungrateful fellow, for, having been received at the hospital as an in-patient, he had availed himself of the opportunity of robbing those who were exerting all their medical and sur gical skill with a view of restoring him to health. The sen tence upon him was, that he be imprisoned in the Westmin ster Brihwell for six months. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Salisbury, Mareh 10. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE. ) Praxell Alford Hinwood was indicted for feloniously send ing a letter to Thomas Slade Whiting, threatening to burn and destroy his stacks of corn. Mr. Merewether conducted the prosecution. It appeared that the prosecutor is a farmer at Codford, and one of the guardians of the poor. On the 7th of December he received a letter by the post. Within the letter was a small piece of brown paper, burnt at one end like a match The prisoner had been an inmate of the union. She had told a person that she would send a threatening letter to Mr. Whiting, because he had only allowed her 6d. a day. She had been in prison for breaking windows at the Warminster Union. When she came out of prison she returned to the union, and, after she had been there a day or two she asked another pauper for a sheet of writing paper, and she then wrote a letter, which she said was to one of the guardians of her parish. She cut a piece of brown paper in the shape of a match, and burnt it at one end, and put it in the letter, and sealed pit, making an impression an the wax with the thimble of another pauper, and gave it to one of them to take to the post. The following is a copy of the letter : " Mr. Thomas Slade Whiting,—l have sent you these few lines Just to give you Warning, that before this month is over you shall have your Farm and property destroyed by fire; what corn you intend sending to market send as quick as you can, for you shall not send any more. This is the articles I use, and I shall use them. nut if you do not want it in a Blaze you must not let me come into your parish. But you shall suffer for it. And I will do it. Let me be wherever I may be for I will do it and your police nor any other shall stop me." This letter was directed to " Mr. Thomas Slade Whiting, Codford, St. Peter's, Wilts." The prisoner, when called upon for her defence, said to the prosecutor, "As you have sworn falsely against me, you may depend upon it if ever I have my liberty again, I'll set your property on fire ; that you may depend on." The gaoler—Be quiet. Prisoner—l shall not be quiet, I shall speak the sentiments of my mind. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The prisoner has been before tried, two years since, for threatening to kill and murder the master of the workhouse. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE sentencedtheprisoner to ten years' transportation. The prisoner said, "Thank you, my Lord, and I hope you'll sit there till I come back." John W. Plater was indicted for having fraudulently ob tained Riven books, of the value of 71. 75., the property seve rally of Mr. James Parker, Mr. William Rogers, and Mr. W H. 'Pinney, barristers-at-law. The Learned JUDGE sentenced the defendant to four months' imprisonment in the Westminster Bridewell, with an intimation that if he were to make his appearance at that bar again under similar circumstances, he would most un doubtedly be transported. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, GUILDHALL. George Goodfellow, James Andrews, John Wyatt, alias Loveless, William Palmer, Thomas Sanger, James Read, alias Einey, George Scammell, and Henry Andrews, were in dicted for unlawfully being together on the 25th of January last, in the night, in an inclosed land, called Toffant, or Toffont, or Tovont-wood, in the possession of the Earl of Pembroke, armed with guns and other offensive weapons, for the purpose of taking or destroying game. The prisoners, upon being placed at the bar, presented a very sad spectacle. Some of them had their heads bound up ; others had their arms in slings ; and most of them ap peared to have been very severely wounded. Mr. Merewether conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Hodges defended the prisoners. Mr. MERIMETIIER, in opening the case for the prosecu tion, stated, thrt the prisoners were indicted under the sta tute the 9th George IV., cap. 69, section 9, which enacted that if any persons, to the uumber of three or more together, should by night unlawfully enter or be in any inclosed land armed with guns or other offensive weapons for the purpose of taking or destroying game, they should be guilty of a misdemeanour. The Earl of Pembroke was the owner of Toffant-wood, but he had given Mr. Martin permission to shoot there. The game was preserved toino inordinate ex tent, and no battue shooting was carried on there. Although they were sorry to see the prisoners suffering much from the violence which afterwards ensued, yet he believed that when this enterprise was first determined on, the parties had not intended that it should be attended with any violence; but, on that very account, it was very important that this prose cution should be instituted, because it was desirable that publicity should be given to proceedings of this kind, that persons might know, before they entered upon such a scheme, that consequences might ensue which might place them in the most painful position. The Learned Counsel then gave a detail of what had taken place on the night in question, which will appear in the following short extract from the evidence:— TILE HEIR-AT-LAW SOClETY.—Yesterday Henry Schole field applied to Sir Peter Laurie for his advice under the fol lowing circumstances : He stated that he was a power-loom weaver, and that he came from Lancashire on behalf of a number of persons there who had lost their money from seeking advice at the Heir at-Law Society. About two-and-twenty years ago a sum of 4,0001. was left by a gentleman for the next of kin. About sixteen months back some parties of the name of Smith for warded documents through him to the Society for the pur- Polo of 4,444iug-tltelegacy; at the same. time a fee of 2r4s. ed. was sent. After some time a letter was received from Mr. Ross, acknowledging the receipt of the fee. In December last the Society sent a letter, stating that the counsel's opinion was rather favourable towards them, and that they would require 101. more for the purpose of filing a bill in Chancery. The only obstacle to them getting the money would be, whether their claim came within the statute of limitations. The money was sent, and they had never heard anything more of the affair since. In conse quence of the reports in the newspapers relative to this Society, these parties in Lancashire sent him up for the pur pose of getting their money back or the deeds. He had called at the office several times, but could not see any one. Sir PETER LAURIE—AII I can say is, that you will never get one shilling back. Applicant—Yes, I expect the 101., for here is an acknow ledgment for it. Sir. P. LAURIE—Yes, this is Mr. Ross's handwriting, for I know it well. How came you to correspond with the so ciety ? Is there any agent issuing prospectuses in Lanca shire? Applicant—No, there is not; but a person down there happened to have one, when some indiv iduals, thinking they had claims to property, and imagining the soc iety was an upright and fair one, immediately solicited their advice.: Sir P. LAURIE—AII I can say is, I wish I did not know so much of Mr. Ross as I do. The only thing I see you can do is that, if those you represent can afford it, to indict the par ties for a conspiracy. Mr. Ross is the same party who pro posed the erection of a bridge at Holborn-hill some time back. If those parties who have been duped were to meet, as in the case of the West Middlesex Assurance Company, and pro ceed against the parties, I have no doubt that you would all get your documents back. Mr. Scholefield said that he did not think he should be able to stay in town, in consequence of his finances being so low. He thought it very hard that persons in his station of life should be thus robbed. James Barrett, the elder—l live at Compton Chamber lain, and am gamekeeper to Mr. Martin. I know Toffant wood, which is the property of Lord Pembroke. It is within my beat. On the night of the 25th of January, about nine o'clock, I went out on my duty, accompanied by my two sons, and Lambert and Raymond. About three in the morn ing I heard the report of a gun. We went in the direction of the sound, and saw a man coming towards us. It was a moonlight morning. The man was looking up in the trees, as if for game. He walked up close to me. I put up my hand and took him by the collar of the jacket. I saw his face, and said, "Master Goodfellow, is that you?" I had known him for years. I told my eon James to take the gun from him, that no mischief might be done. There was a struggle about the gun, and Goodfellow called. "Fall in, fall in.' My son got the gun, and threw it away. We heard the report of ano ther gun, and then nine or ten men came up, having guns or bludgeons. They held them up on end. One said, "D— -your eyes, stand !" Then a fight began. I had a stick and hanger. When I laid hold of Goodfellow I stuck my hanger in the ground, to prevent mischief. The other party struck the first blow. The fight continued for half an hour. I saw James Andrews, Henry Andrews, John Wyatt, and Good fellow. They had sticks and guns. We had no firearms. We were overpowered, and obliged to decamp. Cross-examined—We always preserve the game there. My sons and myself are regular keepers in the employment of Mr. Martin. We had only two hangers with us. I don't know how many cuts I inflicted. We had on a kind of hel mets made of straw to protect our heads. They are called Cranbourne-chase hats. When the fight began we let Good fellow go. There was no attempt by the poachers to dis charge their guns during the fight. By the JuDox—l was confined to my bed for a fortnight afterwards. James Barrett, jun.—l am son of the last witness, and was with him that night. George Goodfellow came up to us, and my father took him by the collar. I tried to get the gun from him. He endeavoured to get the cock of the gun up. I heard it snap twice. I succeeded in getting it from him. He called out " Fall in, fall in !" I then saw nine or ten other men come up as fast as they could run. They lifted up the guns and sticks which they had, and struck us on oar heads with them. I can speak to James Andrews, Henry Andrews, William Palmer, and George Scammell. I knew them well. This is the gun I took from Goodfellow. It was loaded and had on a cap. The next morning I went to the spot, and found three bludgeons and the broken stock of a gun. Cross •examined—The moon shone.bright at that time. I knew Goodfellow before my father took him by the collar. I never said to Henry Turner that I fancied some of them must have thought of their latter end. Sometimes there were three of them to one of us. If I had not made use of my hanger as much as I could I should have died upon the spot. Charles Barrett—l was with my father that night. I can identify George Scammell, Henry Andrews, James Read, and William Palmer. I saw them beating my father when he was on the ground. George Scammell knocked me down with a bludgeon. John Barrett—l am twin brother of the last witness, and was with the party that night. I speak to Sanger, Scam mell, and James Andrews. I was knocked down several times. William Raymond—l come from the infirmary. I was with the gamekeepers that night. Henry Andrews was there. (This witness had his arm broken, and was otherwise dreadfully beaten.) Mr. Martin—l have Lord Pembroke's permission to shoot in Toffant-wood. It is not my land. This was the case for the prosecution. Several respectable farmers and other persons, and parti cularly the rector of the parish, spoke very highly as to the character of all, or some of the prisoners: they were the best labourers in the parish, and had never before been known as poachers. The jury found the prisoners Guilty, and they were sen tenced to be imprisoned for 12 months, with hard labour. Sir P. LAURIE said that he was very sorry for him, but he did no see how he could help himself. The applicant then left the Court. LAMBETH. ALLEGED Caise. CON. AND BArrßßY.—Yesterday, John Hodges, a well-dressed young man, who described himself as a pencil-maker, residing at 14, Francis-street, Waterleo-road, appeared before Mr. Henry, on a warrant, charging him with having violently assaulted Mr. Augustus Frederick Effland, a chemist and druggist, Princes-street, Westminster-road. Mr. Effland, who is of a slight figure, and youthful appear pearance, deposed that, on the night of that day week, he was in his surgery, about to sit down to a "frugal supper," when the defendant entered his shop, jumped over the coun ter, and rushed into the surgery. He then accused him (witness) of having his wife harboured there, and made use of the most insulting epithets towards him. Mr. HENRY—Was the defendant sober at the time or not? Mr. Effland—Sober, Sir, why he's a teetotaller, and a Re chabite, and, of course, was perfectly sober. Mr. ~ENRY—WeII, proceed to state what followed. Wit ness—Well, Sir, he caught hold of me and very nearly strangled me, and when he found that I was ready to drop from exhaustion on account of the strangulation, he gave me a very violent blow on my mouth, which caused me to bleed very profusely. Mr. HENRY—The defendant, you say, accused you of har bouring his wife, and I suppose of an improper intimacy. Have you anything to say about that? hlr. Effiand—He does charge me with that, your worship, but I defy him to prove it ; and, in fact, it's a complete conspiracy against me. Mr. HENRY—Did the defendant accuse you with having his wife in your house on the night he came there? Witness —He did, your worship, and looked about as if expecting to find her, but I told him I should allow him to go all over the house to satisfy him she was not there. Mr. HENRY—Had the defendant on any previous occasion charged you with an improper intimacy with his wife? Wit ness—He has done so, your worship, and they have been parted on that account, but they have since made it up, and lived, as I believed, happily together, and ao far fiorn my car rying on an intimacy or correspondence with his wife, I am qu►te ignorant of their present address, and I defy him to prove an intimacy at any time. Mr. HENRY (to the defendant)—You have heard the charge against you—what have you to say to it? Defendant—l do not deny the assault, but I shall tell your worship how it was. The fact is, that this person (complainant) had been our medical attendant, and when attending my wife while labouring under an inflammation in the bowels, he availed himself of the opportunity of seducing her, and weaning her affections from me. From some circumstances which I had observed, as well as from my wife's conduct towards me, I suspected something wrong between the parties, and my suspicions were confirmed one Sunday evening im mediately after I left home, for the purpose of going to church, and my wife, no doubt, thought I went there ; but instead of going to church I went to tie house of Mr. Effland, and there found my wife in the sur gery, with her cloak and bonnet off, but her excuse was that she went there for medical advice. This, however, was the cause of a separation between us, and my wife, as I thought, went to live with her n4other. After a short time I consented to take her back, and she came home, but from subsequent inquiries which I instituted, I found that, instead of living at her mother's while away from me, she was actually living under the protection of Mr. Effland, under the assumed name of Clare. He, however, made up his mind, as he had taken his wife back, not to move in the matter, provided there was not a continuation of the intimacy; but he soon discovered that the complainant had found out the residence of him self and his wife, and had actually sent her a letter by his apprentice on the evening of Sunday week, while he was at church. Mr. Effland denied this, and said his brother, who was his apprentice, was in attendance, and would satisfy the magis trate the defendant was wrong. The brother was then called, and, upon being sworn, po sitively denied havin,g delivered a letter at the house of the defendant on the evening in question, or at any other time; and Mr. Henry ultimately bound over both parties to be of good behaviour towards each other for the space of three months.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Worcester, March 9. Their Lordships having visited the Duke of Marlborough at Blenheim Palace on Saturday afternoon, arrived here yes terday, and attended Divine service in the cathedral. The calendar contains the names of fifty-three prisoners, no less than ten of whom are charged with the crime of mur der, and eleven with that of housebreaking. There are twelve robberies from the person, one case of sheep-stealing, one of stabbing, and one of forgery of an order for payment. The remainder consist of larcenies of small articles. The Croome case, which imputes to eleven poachers the crime of murder on Lord Coventry's estate, is one of para mount interest, and its result is looked forward to with much anxiety. (Before the LORD CI U RF BARON.) March 10. The Courts opened for business this morning—the Chief Baron presiding in the Crown Court, and Mr. Baron Platt at Nisi Prins. In his charge to the grand jury, the Learned Judge intimated, with reference to the case at Croome, that, if the evidence satisfied the jury that all the prisoners went out with the common design of resisting with violence the opposition of the keepers to their intention of killing game, and death ensued in a struggle consequent upon such agreement, the offence would be clearly that of murder against all. BURGLARY.—John Lloyd and William Clarke were charged with breaking into the house of Mrs. Sarah Davies, and steal ing therein sundry articles of clothing and towels. The house is situate at the hamlet of Lower Milton, in this county, and the robbery was committed on the night of the 30th of Ja nuary last. Mary Aim Teague, servant to the prosecutrix, deposed to having been alarmed on the night in question by the barking of the house-dog. She, with her fellow-servant, Mary Jeffs, ran to the door, whore they saw two men, named Cook and Bennett, a policeman and a constable. In conse quence of the statement of the two women, they went into the house and made an examination ; the result of which was, that two windows were found broken open, and the remains of a fire burning upon the floor of the back kitchen, among which were discovered fragments of aprons and towels, after wards identified as the property of Mrs. Davies, and of her two servants. Upon following up the search the prisoner Clarke was seized in the yard, where he had attempted to conceal himself behind a pump. A footmark appeared clearly impressed on the semi• frozen snow near one of the windows. A boot of Clarke's was compared with this, but as it did not correspond, further inquiries were instituted. John Lloyd, having been seen on the night of the 30th, drinking in the prisoner's company, was taken into custody on suspi cion, and his boot being removed and placed by the side of the impression alluded to, answered to it in every par ticular. The jury convicted both the prisoners. Sentence deferred. The business in both the Courts has proceeded but slowly to-day. and the Assizes are expected to be of unusually long duration. March 11. THE CROOME MURDER CASE. This morning the bill of indictment was preferred against the eleven men, named Joseph Turvey, Francis _anyley, JVil• lions Bromfield, George Brant, Joseph Tandy, Samuel Turvey, John Cooke, and William Cosnett, &c., charged upon the coroner's warrant, and upon the magistrates' commitment, with the wilful murder of Thomas Staite, the gamekeeper employed on the infant Earl of Coventry's estates at Croome, on the night of the 19th December last, under circumstances already detailed in the columns of this paper. The grand jury, after a short deliberation, returned into Court with true bills against the whole of the prisoners, amidst the breathless silence of the Court. An application was then made by the Counsel on both sides for the appointment of a time for the trial, and it was at length arranged that it should be taken some time to-mor row. The trial will last a long time, on account of the num ber of witnesses to be examined. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Aylesbury, March 10. This circuit commenced this morning, the commission for the county of Bucks being opened at 10 o'clock by the Learned Judges of assize, who afterwards attended Divine service. was charged at 1 o'clock by, Mr. Baron raanndd jury ssT7on as the bill s were found they were dis tributedbetwen the Learn e d B aron an d M r . J us ti ce P a tt e - Psoanrr,khee' g the civil business, which is not expected to be very heavy, being postponed till to-morrow. The calendar pre sents a long array or crime, there being no fewer than 82 prisoners, whose offences may thus be catalogued :—Murder, 2 ; arson, I ; burglary and housebreaking, 11 ; highway robbery, 1 ; violence to the person, 2 ; larcenies and misde meanours, 40. It therefore appears that there is not in the quality of the offences a very serious calendar, if we except the two cases of murder, one of which is that of John Towel! (which is fixed for Wednesday, for the convenience of Mr. Kelly, who is specially retained for the prisoner), and the other a case of infanticide, a charge which generally subsides into a misdemeanour. The following cases were tried to-day. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) ARSON.—Peter Wolfinger, aged. 10, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to a haulm stack, the property of , Francis Stephenson, of Hanslope, on the 13th of September last. Mr. Wells conducted the case for the prosecution. The prisoner was not defended. This case was one of a most simple character, and only deserves notice from the fact that a motive was established for the perpetration of the offence. It appears that the prosecutor lives about a quarter of a mile from his stack yard, near to which stand the cottages of two men, who, with their families have been constantly in his service. Of one of these, the prisoner, an urchin scarcely able to see over the dock, was the son, and, though a child in years he would seem to have been a man in mischief, for, in the course of the last harvest, he was detected in the act of stealing one of the prosecutor's sheaves of wheat from an adjoining field. On that occasion, Mr. Stephenson, with a spirit which reflects credit on him, preferred to appeal to the justice of the pater fantallas rather than to that of the country, and, by the consent of the boy's parents, he was whipped. This circum stance took place is the middle or end of August, and must alone have prompted the little culprit to fire his master's property, for, on the 13th of September, he was seen with a box of lucifers in his hand, which he was trying against the wall, as he went along towards the stackyard where the haulm rick stood, and just ten minutes before the flames were seen he was observed to get over a stile leading to the yard by a labourer who had been thatching one of the stacks, and spoke most positively to their being all quite safe when he left the spot. These facts coming to the knowledge of the constable, the boy was taken into custody, when he quietly confessed the deed, but added that he had " only lighted a match and thrown it on to the stack, without any intention to set it on fire." Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up the case to the jury, they found the prisoner Guilty, and he was forthwith sen tenced to transportation for 15 years. (Before Mr. Justice Parrasox.) PHEASANT Sreararta.—Daniel, David, and John Grange, and or there abouts, Daniel were n in pheasants, on the 30th of January last , t he p r operty Fora of Col. Reid of e a d ll forstealing agricultural e r envue t n t om f e 19, Bul strode-park, in this county. Mr. Dissent was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Wells for the prisoners. From the evidence of the gallant prosecutor's keeper and gardener, it appeared that the subjects of this charge had been for some time past preserved in an ornamental aviary adjoining his mansion, where, being kept under lock and key, they were the admiration of all the family and visitors at the park. Tame pheasants, however, would seem to be quite as pro fitable in the market as those which perch on the tree and are ferce natura, for on the morning of the 31st of January the cage was found broken open, and the birds, if not flown, at any rate carried away ; the latter supposition being mach strengthened by the discovery of the footsteps of four men leading across the snow on the lawn to the gravel surround ing the aviary. Information being given to the police force, the superintendent at once started for Uxbridge, about six miles off, where be, not unwisely, imagined that the birds and thieves had all flown, as the former would find a ready market. Nor was he mistaken, for at twelve o'clock ho found all the prisoners and one Wood drinking together at the Feathers, the landlord of which hostelrie soon produced to him eight out of the eleven birds, which had been depo sited by one of the party in the " private parlour," while the others negotiated the silo of their booty, three of which had been already got rid of elsewhere. Upon confronting the prisoners with Wood, the prisoners one and all exculpated the latter from any participation in the job, and he now formed a material witness against them, for, according to his account, he met them all heavily laden at eight o'clock in the morning, on the way to Uxbridge, about four miles from Bulstrode Park. Being acquainted, a promiscuous conversa tion sprung up between them, in the course of which they plainly said they bad got eleven live pheasants in their pockets, bat added that they had §scured them by a new MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. - - - (Before Mr. Serjeant ADAMS, and a Bench of Magistrates.) These sessions commenced yesterday at Hick's- hall,Clerk enwell-green. The calendar contains a list of seventy- six prisoners, of whom sixty-five are charged with felony, but there were many other prisoners brought in during the day. Edward Smith, a respectably-dressed young man, repre sented as a medical student, was indicted charged with having stolen twenty books, of the value of 121, Bs., the property severally of John Vincent Thompson, John Taylor, and Sir Claude Scott, trustees of St. George's Hospital. Mr. Adolphus appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner pleaded " Guilty." The prisoner was then arraigned upon another indictment charging him with having stolen ten books, the property of University College, an the 3d of February last. To this indictment the prisoner also pleaded " Guilty," The prisoner was next arraigned upon an indictment charging him with having stolen ten other books, the pro perty of University College, on the sth of February last, and pleaded "Guilty.' Mr. PAYNE, who was retained as counsel for this prosecu tion, said it would appear that the young gentleman at the bar had been carrying on a system of stealing books from the different hospitals in the metropolis for some time ; for not only had he been indicted by the two hospitals already named, but there was another hospital, the Middlesex, which had preferred a bill against him. It appeared that the prisoner had come from Scotland, where he had been adopting a similar line of conduct, and that since his arrival in London he had, as a medical student, paid these felonious visits to the various hospitals, commencing with St. George's. In the case of the University College, the books he had taken were of considerable value, one of which, worth 21., ho had sold for 10s., and it was upon his second visit to the s ame shop, to dispose of the books lie had stolen from the college on the sth of February, that he had been stopped and given into custody. Mr. ADOLPHUS said that the books which bad been taken from St. George's Hospital had beenjhe subject of four or five different visits. The Learned JUDGE said it was extremely painful to sco so apparently respectable a person placed in such a situation. The case was a very bad one. Tho sentence, therefore, was, that the prisoner should be imprisoned in the Westminster Bridewell for three months and kept to hard labour, for each off'ence respectively, each term of three months to commence at the expiration of the preceding three months. THAMES POLICE. DEFRAUDING A GAS COMPANY.—Yesterday, Henry Nicks, the landlord of the Cricketers public-house in London-street, Ratcliffe, was charged on a summons with committing a fraud on the British Gaslight Company, who sued for a penalty of 101. It appeared that the defendant was a gas consumer, and that his bill for the first quarter, commencing in :Ikeptember, 1844, was a very large one, but in the succeeding quarter the register, as denoted by the meter, exhibited a very great dionution, and a suspicion arose in the mind of Mr. Grum wood, the Company's inspector, that a fraud was being prac tised. On the lit of March, i❑ company with another man, named Coote, he examined the meter in the defendant's cellar, and found the inlet pipe disconnected from the ser vice pipe, and the outlet pipe belonging to the meter dis connected from the fittings or pipe leading to the burners• in the bar, parlour, and tap-room, consequently the meter was out of action, and no gas passed through it. Another pipe was connected with the service pipe which led to the burners, and no register was kept. Any quantity of gas could be con sumed without the Company knowing anything about it. It was also proved that oa a former occasion Coote wished to examine the meter, and was told their was a fierce dog in the cellar, which turned out to be false. Mr. Bucomury sentenced the defendant to pay a fine of Si. and the costs of the prosecution. The penalty was paid. MURDEROUS AssAm..T.—Yesterday two young men, named Thomas Wilmott, a currier, and John White, a cigar manu facturer, were brought before Mr. Broderip on remand, charged with wounding William bridges, a painter and glazier, with intent to do him bodily harm. The prisoners have been in custody since the 10th of February, and the prosecutor, who became an inmate of the hospital on that day, could not attend till yesterday. It ap peared from his evidence that early on the morning of the 10th of February he was in the Globe and Friends public house, in Morgan-street, St. George-in-the-East, when a quarrel took place between him and the prisoners. Wilmott struck him under the ear, and he returned the blow. A row ensued, and the prisoners, who struck the potboy with some hard substance, which one of them had tied up in a handker chief, were turned out of the house. A few minutes after wards Bridges left the house, and found the prisoners waiting for him. White struck him with some instrument, which appeared to be about ten or twelve inches long, on the fore head, and inflicted a dangerous wound. He fell to the ground, and when he rose he laid hold of his assailant, on which the other prisoner, Wilmott, struck him with some thing he had in his hand, supposed to be a stone. He was removed to the London Hospital, and Mr. Ward, the house surgeon, stated that when he was brought there he was bleeding profusely from an irregular wound on the scalp, a little above the left brow. The man was for some time in danger.—The prisoners were committed for trial, FOOT-RACE FOR 401. ASIDE.-A foot-race, which excited considerable intlrest amongst sporting men, the dis tance being 100 yards, came oft' on Monday afternoon, close to the turnpike on Sunbury-common, between Mullett, the Running Tailor, of Staines, and Smith, the Regent -street Pet. After between fifty and sixty false starts, occupying nearly three-quarters of an hour, the men went away in earnest, the Pet having the advantage of the lead by a yard. At the end of fifty yards both were breast ana breast, when the Pet shot away, and won by between two and three yards, performing the distance in eleven seconds. Mullett, who beat the " Antelope" in a 100 yards race, by only nine inches, a few months since, near Windsor, was all abroad, and ap peared to be greatly distressed in coming in. The odds on the ground were 3to 2 on the Pet. A good deal of money changed hands on the occasion ; the metropolitans (a great many of whom were present) proving themselves a little too knowing for the yokels. 1 7 2 , - ---1 ' l---- - " _e ---- -1--- ..Z-- -- 2- , " -- -- 7 / 7' '' _- ~.., „.11 -- - RAILWAY BUSINESS IN PAR - -________LlAMENT.

AYLESI3I7II; MESDAT EVENI,G.—The trial of John Tawell (for the murder at Salt-hill), which is definitely ap pointed to commence at nine o'clock to-morrow (this morn ing) appears to have excited more universal interest than any event that has occurred for some years pag. Nothing else is talked of in the town, and even at the court-house, despite the personal interest of the majority of those in at tendance there in the cases under adjudication, the whole sum and substance of the conversation—the beginning and the end with every one in the densely-crowded assembly is-- " the trial," " the trial." Yet great as the interest excited by this awful proceeding undoubtedly is, its manifestations have been most grossly ex aggerated. Not contented with the liberties taken with the lives, health, business, and occupations of the counsel, and even the solicitor of the prisoner, as well as his own proceed ings in the very limited field enjoyed by him for action, re ports have been for some days freely circulated that every bed in Aylesbury had been engaged for three weeks past, and that anything better than a" shake down" upon straw, with as Oibbeway blanket for coverlet, could not be had for less than a guinea a night. " The wish " of some proprietors of excellent but unoccu pied feather beds, with full and comfortable appointments. " may have been parent to the thought," but there was not the slightest foundation, in fact, for the report. The town is just as full as an assize town, with a tolerably heavy calendar, usually is at such a time, and a consider-- able influx of visitors may be expected to-morrow, but tbat is all. The grand jury, shortly after three o'clock this afternoon. returned a true bill against Therell, and that being the last of those sent before them, they received their discharge with the customary thanks, from Mr. Baron Parke. The prisoner is said to be in excellent spirits, and quite confident of receiving an acquittal. His wife applied to the high sheriff to-day for five seats in the Court during the trial, one for herself, the remainder for friends. Mr. Bevan, the prisoner's solicitor, who spas falsely repre. sented as being very seriously indisposed, is to be down here by the last train at eight o'clock. Mr. F. Kelly, the eminent counsel, who was reported to be some-(Heaven knows 1)-where else, has just arrived by the five o'clock train. The High Sheriff (Mr. Dayrell) lsas issued printed notices of the regulations to be observed in the Court during the trial. None but counsel and attorneys engaged are to be admitted to the table. The bench is to be entirely reserved for magistrates and their friends. The grand jury gallery is to be occupied by the gentlemen sum moned on this inquisition ; and the petit jury gallery is appropriated partially to the reporters of the metropolitan and local press. The remainder of it, together with the third, or cross gallery, is to be given up to jurors in waiting. There is some talk about trying to get through the entire case to-morrow. That will be scarcely within the range of possibility, seeing that there are thirty-two witnesses on the back of the indictment, and that a great number are to be called for the defence. However, that must be a question for to-morrow's consideration. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on geld at Paris is 15 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 54; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 75, it follows that gold is 0.82 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17e. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10ii ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 121, it follows that gold is 0.79 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. SUN.—The value of Consols at the close of business was 99% to par for money, and 100% to 14 for time. India Stock rallied to 285. There was no other alteration. The Spanish Market did not rally.
