Mr. Bamford, f rom th e o ffi ce of Mr. Manle e 'th e T res . snry solicitor, attend e d t o con d uct t h e prosecution. It may be re co ll ec t e d t h at, at t h e former examination, evidence was adduced of a c o nversa ti on w hi c h b ad taken place between th e pr i soner an d a woman named Barthel. lomew, whose h us b an d , t h en recently deceased, had been a memb er o f t h e same benefit society to which the man Merritt b e l onge d ; i n the course of which the prisoner, il it in refer ence to a complaint from the former, that she had only received 71. los. from the funds of the society, in wend of a sum of 101, to which those who are termed " full members" are entitled, expressed her confident belief that she herself would receive the maximum al lowance in the event of anything happening to her own husband. Inspector Coward now said that, in consequence of an observation which had fallen from the prisoner on a pre vious occasion, t o the effect that she knew where her husband's benefit society's book was kept, he had sine* visited the house, and on examining the place discovered the book produced in ore of the drawers of a table in the sitting room; and Jam p e o s Eei ll t u o rr h y ls S h e a c y r i e n t a g r y rec to eiv t ed he burial club in que s ti on , de a message from the prisoner on the very morning of her husband's death, in pursuance of which he proceeded to her house, and intimated that he would leave an order with the steward for the immediate payment of half the amount she was entitled to receive, but at the Same time expressed his regret at the premature death of her hus bard, as she would have received the full amount of 101. instead of 71 10e, to which she was then only entitled had he survived but five days longer. , Alderman, the gaoler, was then examined, and stated, that of er the removal of the prisoner to one of the eon s at the conclusion of the former hearing, she urgently en treated him to listen to her far a few moments, as she had no one to speak to her, and wishedtomakeadisclosureof circumstances she was anxious the magistrate should be apprised of She then adverted to the fact of her having sur; eetitioudy pledged a large quantity of pro perty he'onging to a lodger in her house, the duplicates for which had been produced in court, and proceeded to say that everything she bad stated relative to the un happy transaction was perf-ctly cornet, with the excep tion of a declaration she had made to Inspector Coward, that site had not purchased the poison, whereas the truth was that slits had done so, and that she subsea quently took it out of the papers labelled " Poison," in which it had been served to her by the druggist, which she at once destroyed, and having screwed the poison up in another paper, placed it in the cupboard atnongct some packets of tartaric acid and sods, which her hus band was in th e h a bi t o f taking. She ' stated further that she had purchased the poison in a sudden pet, but without any serious intention of taking it herself, or -... giving it to ler husband, who, if he bad taken it at di, must have done so in mistake, and that she bad subs.- quently removed the whole of the packets, and thrown them into the fire; but whether this occurred befere or after her husband's death she did not specify. The . prisoner's son, an intelligent little boy, eight years of age, who was erroneously stated, at the conclu sion of the coroner's inquest, to have suddenly died since the apprehension of his mother, was now present in the clothing of the Haekeey Union workhouse., of which he has since been an inmate, and it was understood that he would be able to give very material evidence in support of the charge; but the Crown solicitor, after subjecting him to an examinetion in the Magistrate's 1 rieate room, deemed it inexpedient at preaeit to place him in the witne.,:-box. Mr. ARNOLD tht n asked the prisoner if she wished to make any observeeions in answer to the charge, after the usual caution that she vas not bound to say anything, but that what she did say would be tttken down in writ ina• and used as evidence against her at the trial. The prisoner, in a low monotonous tone, then said—l lase nothing more to eey than that I Lever intended my husblnd to take the poison. At the time I bought it I inteneed to have taken it myself, if be had come home as he had done for several nights before, as I could not live any longer such a life ae he had led nee. He came home B , terwards very comfortable, and I thought no more of it till the Saturday following, when I burnt the Thole of it, as it came into my mind Crete he might have taken it himself, instead of the soda be was in the habit of usi:ig. As for giving it to him, I never thought of such a thing, and as to doing anything to harm him, God l.gbil ! I had al aeqs done the contrary. This statement of the prisoner was reduce! to writing and handed to her, who subscribed it with her signature without the slightest tremour or hesitation, and ma. taincd the same collected demeanour and remarkable self-possession that she had manifett-d throughout the preceedings. ~r = Y- Office of the Director-General of the Medical Department of the Navy Somerset-place, February 13, 185 J. .. 1110 co rFunissloners for executhr , the office of Lord High Admiral n , the united Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland do hereby give otice .that on THURSDAY, the 7th March next, at One o'clock, the y o will he ready te treat with such persons as may be willing to 1 1 -;_ ritract for supplying a ll suc h quantities of all or any of the fol- Z W , i ng articles as shall from time to time he req:lred for the use of C,B3l','"e?: or both of th e Royal Marine Infirmaries at Woolwich and atu aol, from he Ist day of April next, to tilt 31st day of March, 1, viz. : N°.17,909.] LONDON, SATURDAY * i a G S N 9 FEBRUARY 16, 1850, FRESII BEEF AND MUTTON, BREAD, MILK, SOAP, ANDLES, end also for th e at pp of VEGETABLES at.

Joseph Cash was brought before Alderman Humphery upon the charge of having fraudulently obtained, on the 7th instant, from Mr. James W. Benson, jeweller and watchmaker, of No. 16, Cornhill, a gold watch, value 18 guineas. Mr. Humphreys appeared fir the prosecu tor; a solicitor also appeared for the defence. Mr. Benson said—About three or four weeks ago the prisoner called upon me in my shop, and said he wanted to purchase a watch. I showed him some watches, and he selected one, the price of which was 18/. 18;s lie then preien'ed to me two or three bills, which lie took out of his pocket, and asked me to take one of them iu peyment. I said that whatever business I did I did for ready money, and declined taking the bill. He then put it in his peeket and went away. Some days afterwards he called aelin, looked at the watch, arid asked me if I would take some of the money, and give him credit for the rest ? I declined to deal upon such terms; and then he said he was al agent for a friend of his, whom he would bring to eee the watch, end he departed. On the 7th instant he called a third time, between fire and six in the evening, and said he came then prepared to purchase, and pay for the watch, and I shoe el it t) him. He asked to look at some chains, and I showed him some, one of which, a gold garird chain, he selected. Tne price of the watch and chain eat arced upon at 221., aid I was going to make out the bill to him, but he said he wished me to put 251. down, as he was desirous to get something by the pur chase. I believed that ho was an agent, and made out the bill for that amount. lie then took a cheque-book from his pocket, rind wrote the cheque I produce for 211. 15e, and :lava it to me, together with two ha f• crowns, which male the sum 221. I believed it was a valid cheque, and asked if it was all right, and I then delive: el the watch and chain ti him, and he went away. Next morning I presented the cheque, and was informed that there we a no effects; and they said at the bank that be had been there previously, and they tild him his tv:count was close!. The same evening he called upon me, and I explained to him that I had present .d the cheque, and that I should prosecute him if he did net give the ;goods_, or the money. He then said if f would not proceed against him that he would bring the watch or the money next day; but he brought neither, and I accordingly applied fur a warrant and had him apprehended. Upon his cross-examination by the prisoner's solicitor, the witness said the prisoner had had a transaction, tj a trifling amount, with him previously. He would have proceeded against the pris,iner before, but he expected that he should get hack the watch. Hayden, the officer, apprehended the prisoner, and found upon him a policy or insurance and some papers. In a diary found in the prisoner's pocket was the folio Vt . ing notice, wider the head of the Bth of February:—" Mr. Thomas, lent on a watch, 171." Witness told him he had soon disposed of the watch after he bad obtained possessio n of it, and ho replied, 4 I borrowed 171. upon it." The prisoner's solicitor submitted that the prosecutor had given credit to the prisoner in the transaction, as was evident from the slowness of the process of the pro secution, and that there was no satisfactory proof that ho had no money at his banker's. Alderwaa Hum-11E1r said it was quite clear that the property had been fraudulently obtained. The prisoner'.l silicitor said the fact way, his client was, at the time of his apprehension, going to raise money to pay for the retch upon his policy of assurance. Alderman iluhlPUEttY examined the policy, and said that nobody in his senses would lend 40c, upon such a document. The prisoner war then remanded. GUILDHALL, MAUNDER'S I'OPUI•AR TREASURIES.

THE COUNTRY MARKET:. WAKEFIELD, FEE. 15.---The arrivals continue good of most articles. There is a moderate demand for wheat, and an advance of Is per quarter is generally required, but not ac ceded to, and the market closed at the full prices of this day week. No change in the value of barley, and the sale con fined to good qualities. Oats and shelling steady. Beans rather higher. New. Old. a. WHEAT, per qr. 601bs per bushel:— a. a.

Flour ••• ••• ••• •.• NEWBURY, FEB. 14.—Our supply of wheat to-day is very moderate, and a better feeling was, experienced in the trade, most of the supply being early cleared off at an advance of lull Is per quarter. Barley, large supply, and difficult of sale, except for the best descriptions, at late rates. Beans and peas, with a moderate supply, quite a drug, and late prices barely supported. Oats, good supply, and in better rt quest, at a trifling improvement in value. LIVERPOOL, FEB. I.s.—At this day's market there was a very thin attendance of the trade, and so little business was dneacted as to render it unnecessaty to alter the quotations of any article, with the exception of oatmeal and Indian corn, which were easier to buy ; 20s 6d per load having been taken for a good parcel of the former article, and 23s per quarter for the latter. EXETER, FEB. 15. —Pork Carcases—The supply was mode rate, not more than last week, and prices were hardly so firm. Large coarse pork sold at 6s per score ; ditto of better quality, 6s 6d ; prime bacon pork, 7s ; and small dairy-fed pork 7s 3d to 7s 4d per score. Tallow or Rough Fat—The price of this article to-day is 3d per lb., or 2s per stone. Pannier—Turkeys, Ss to 8s each ; geese, Sc to 6s each ; ducks, 4s 6d to 5s per couple ; fowls, 2s 9d to 4s ditto; galenas, 5s to 6s ditto ; wild ducks, 53 ditto ; widgeons, 3s 6(1 ditto ; hares, 3s each ; butter, is per lb; eggs, 16 to 18 for is ; potatoes, 9,1 to 10d per score ; turnips, 4.1 ditto ; parsnips, 10d ditto. Corn Ex change, ene o'clock—Up to this hour we note but very little actual business. The growers have stood nut for higher prices than the millers seem disposed to give, but we have not heard that 5s per bushel has been exceeded for the very best war ranted wheat, and good wheat has been sold at from 4s 9d up to this figure. We have again to repeat that in this market at least the farmers have no competition with the foreigner, inasmuch as there is no foreign wheat on offer. Malting barley is 3s, and in some ca■es a trifle higher; oats, is 9d to 2s per bushel ; fine flour, 27s to 29s per sack of 280Ibs. BRISTOL FEB. 14.—There was only a very moderate sup ply of English and foreign wheat, though with an improved inquiry, and previous rates maintained. English wheat sold at 36s to 42s per imperial quarter. Foreign white sold at 41s to 48s ; foreign red, fine, 40s to 435; ditto, ordinary, 37s to 40s; ditto, hard, 35s to 33s per 4801bs. Malting barley was fully Is per quarter lower, and grinding ditto was without alteration. English malting barley sold at 24s to 28s per im perial quarter ; English and foreign grinding sold at 18s 6d to 20s per 40011)3. In the oat trade there was no alteration : Devon and Welsh oats sold at 153 to 16s per irnper:al quarter ; Irish white 17s to 18s per 3201bs ; Irish black, 15s 6d to 163 per imperial quarter. Foreign oats none. The bean trade was without improvement. English Beans sold at 28s to 35s per imperial quarter; foreign ditto, 25s to 23s per 4081bs. Flour was a languid trade, at barely previous rates ; English seconds sold at 27a to 29s per sack ; American sweet, 23s to 24s per barrel. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, FEB. 15.—We have still to report a very dull sugar market, and prices are again rather in favour of the buyer. The refined market is also rather dull this week. Rum is quiet. In West Indian molasses there is nothing doing.—Bristol Mercury. WETHERBY, FEB. 14.—White wheat 15s 6d to 17s Ed, red ditto 133 Ed to 15s 6d per load ; barley 23s to 26s per qr. ; beans lrs to 133 per load ; oats 70 to 9d per stone. KNARESBOROUGH, FEB. 13.—Wheat 4s 3d to 5s 6d ; beans as Gd to 4s 3d per bushel; barley 24s to 26s ; oats 15s 6d to 17s per qr. RIPON. FEB. 14.—White wheat 4s 9d to 5s 3d, red ditto 4s 3d to ss; beans 3s 9d to 4s 6d per bushel ; barley 22s to 265; oats 14s to 2ls per qr. SCARBOROUGH. FEB. 14.—Red wheat 4s 3d to 4s 9d, white ditto 4s 9d to 5s Gd per 5 stones ; black oats 8d to aid, white ditto 71,1 to 8d per stone ; malting barley 20s to 21s, grinding ditto les to 20s per qr. of 32 atones; superfine flour, 24s to 275, seconds ditto, 24s to 25s per sack of 20 stones. DENBIGH, FEB. 13.—The market was rather dull, plenty of sellers, but few buyers. The following are the prices Wheat, 12s to 12s 6d ; barley, 6s 6d to is 6d ; oats, 4s 6d to 5s ; beans, lOs ; peas, lOs per hobbet ; tub butter, lid; fresh ditto, 1(3q . ,d per lb. RUTHIN, FEB. 11.—The averages were—wheat, 12s to 13s ; barley, 6s 6d to 7s 6d per hobbet; fresh butter, Is per lb. RHYL, FEB. 11.—The extreme prices of last week are still given for choice samples of wheat. Barley, beans, and peas were fully as dear, and but a few at market. A very trifling business in oats. We had a good supply of vetches and clover, which met ready sales, the former at - lls per hobbet, and the latter at 41d to bd per Ib, and all disposed of quickly.

Among the leading visitors were the Marquis and Marchiouess of Salisbury, his Excellency the Chevalier Bunsen, his Excellency the American Minister and Mrs. Lawrence, the Countess of Desert, the Dowager Lady Wharncliffe, Lord and Lady Foley, Lord De Manley, Admiral Sir George Seymour, Sir Walter and Lady Caroline St'rling, &c. The sale con tinues to proceed very satisfactorily, and but for the floc that large quantities of property arrive daily from Bushey, the mansion would have been cleared of its con• tents long since. It is intended to proceed with the sale this day, but the mansion will not be open to the public until 12 o'clock on Monday next; this arrangement being necessary in consequence of the wings of the building and servants' offices being thrown open fur the first time on that day. BRIGHTON, LEWES, AND TONDRIDGE-WELLS RAlLWAY.—Yesterday, upwards of 500 out of the 1,800 shareholders liable as contributories to pay off the out standing claims of this concern, amounting to upwards of 5,0001., were-summoned before the Master in Chen eery, Sir William Horne, to show cause why they should not be held liable as contributoriez. The court was in sufferably full. It was contended on the part of several shareholders, that the allotment of shares was illegal, the shares having been allotted by one or two only out of the seven persons constituting the committee fur that purpose, no entry of whose appointment appeared on the books; and that the shares were allotted precipitately after the panic, and by two persons only, who had neither of them taken their qualification as directors, nor paid the deposit on their shares. Naldor, the secretary, was called to show that these persons were delegat-d by the larger body to allot. The Master decided that the allot ment was good; that all who were simple allottees were liable, and that the company came judicially within the jurisdiction of he Act. The Newmarket Protectionist Society held their annual meeting at the Rutland Arms Inn, in that town, on Tuesday, where a dinner was provided. The chair was occupied by Mr. R. D. Fyson, pre3ident of tho scciety. When the cloth was drawn a report was read, which contained a quantity of figures designed to show that, during the past year, ninety millions have been taken fern the pockets of the home producers by free trade legislation. A number of speeches containing statements of a like veracious cha-acter were delivered; and a long list of toasts having been disposed of, the meeting broke ur. E AST INDIA.

BRUTAL TREATMENT OF A CIIILD.—On Wednesday last Mr. Inspector Howard prf•sented himself before idle sitting Alderman pith a child (au intelligent boy, b(- tween five and six years of age), and state 1 that he had 3eu f nind in Skinner -street, Snow-hill. On examining the child's person it was found that he had been most cruelly beaten from held to foot, and over the hand, arms, and in some rants of the face. The sitting Alderman directed it to be taken to the West London Union. and Mr. Chamberlain, the relieving officer, who flapper el to be present, instantly said that proper at tention should ba paid to the chitd, and a reward offered for the apprehension of its parents. This was done, and yesterday Mr. Inspuctor Howard stated that there was a female in court who claimed the child. A young woman who gave her name as Elizabeth Summer said she had made application for the child, and that she lived at No. 4, Gray's Inn. Alderman HUNTER—What are you ? Summers—l am housekeeper to the gentleman who says he is the father of the child. Alderman HUNTER—What is his name? Summers—l shall not tell. Alderman HUNTER—Let me caution you that if you do not answer I must commit you to prison, for this is a very serious case, and the ends of justice shall not be ch.- fented. After considerable evasion and hesitation the female said that the person to whom she acted as housekeeper was Mr. Kenealy, barrister, of 4, South-square, Gray's inn, and asserted that he is the person who represents himself to be the fsther of the child. He was in the habit of dressing and undressing it. The child was seen last on Wednesday, about half-past twelve o'clock, and his father was out. Alderman HUNTER—When did you last s ,, e the Lther? Summus—He went to Ireland on Monday. Alderman HUNTER—Were you or his father in the habit of beating the child? Summers—Never. He is a very good boy, and when I washed him on Wednesday I saw no marks about him. The child was here confronted with Summers, and al. though she tried by a coaxing gentle tone of ♦oice to indece the child to return with her, he said he would not, for she would take him t.) the gentleman who beat him so cruelly. The case was allowed to stand over, and Inspector Howard went off to Mr. Kenealy's chambers. On his return he stated that he found the offices locked. A girl said that ho could not be out of town, for she had aen him that morning, and that he kept no clerk. Aldernaaa HUNTER said this was so serious a case, that, however sorry he might be, he must detain the female who had come to claim the child. It bad re ceived most horrible treatment, and for the sake of the ends of justice, as she seemed so unwilling to give evidence, he should detain her until Wednesday next, unless she could find two sureties in 50/., and herself in 100/. - The sureties not being forthcoming she was taken to the Ccunl ter, and the further investigation was postponed until Wednesday. _ _ BOW-STREET. FORGERY UPON TUE ADMlRALTY.—Yesterday Wil liam John R. Smith, of St. Thomas terrace, Newcastle uprn-Tyne, formerly a clerk in the Admiralty, and an other individual, were brought uO in the custody of Inspector Field, detective offi ter, and placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with obtaining money to the amount of 531. 121. 10d. by means of farged documents purporting to be signed by the authorities in the colonies for the passage and sustenance c f distressed British sea men to this country. Mr. Swainson, assistant-solicitor to the Admiralty, in briefly stating the case, said that the prisoners were charged with two distinct offences under the 11th Geo. IV., cap. 20, s. 82, the attention of the authorities being drawn to the circumstance of several forgeries having been committed and large sums obtained by such means. When seamen became distressed at a distance from this country, upon obtaining an order from the proper authorities a free passage and sus tenance to this country were granted them, the captain of the vessel in which they were conveyed being entitled, upon making the neces sary declaration, to is. per head. The prisoner Smith had been employed as a clerk in the Accountant-general's department, from which he was discharged, and he had the means of knowing the manner in which such claims were established, one of which having been made by an assumed agent, and signing the name " Walter Bevis," for the amount in questior, an investigation took place, and there being no doubt that such signature and the bodies of the documents bore a strong resemblance to Smith's handwriting, suspicion naturally fell upOn him. The:other prisoner was found in his company, but he was not aware that any charge could be distinctly proved against him, although the constables were induced to take him also into custody, on the presumption that he was concerned in the forgerier. Mr. Antonio Brady, a clerk in the Accountant-Gene ral's office in the Admiralty, at Somerset House, said that Smith had formerly been employed under him, and being reported for misconduct, he was discharged in the montli of April, 1847. The documents produced, pur porting to be signed by the secretary to the Governor of Ceylon, who happened at present to be in town, were received at the office for the expenses incurred in bring ing home distressed seamen, and to the best of his belief were all in the handwriting of the prisoner Smith. The declaration in support of such payments was an entire fabrication, there never having been such ships, nor was the name of the agent or captain mentioned in it known, in addition to which a memorandum was found in the prisoner's possession relating to the several documents. The Inspector said that he was at the Admiralty on the morning when a young man came in and asked for the papers belonging to Mr. Bevis, and being told to call atain he went away, followed by Sergeant Thorn tan, another detective officer. Thornton proved that he followed the person to er to a C ft han ; cery-lane, where he was joined by Smit h , short n toE i Fleet - street, e conversation t-s tr :e t he he w went a withway ; the hr b but e Smith p rhavingson eprisoner, gone who i public house in waitingßuefi,:iroghhimarnin.satreceatb,, a w n h d er t e hey sm dr i o th ve_ w to a a s public identi fied by the officials belonging to the Admiralty after he attempted to escape. The Inspector informed the Court that Smith said the other prisoner had nothing to do with the trans action ; that they had become acquainted through and at the office ho said he wo u ld cDoenrfbeyss.sweeps Mr. JARDINE, having ascertained that the second per. son would be forthcoming at a future day, ordered hint to enter int') his own reeognizancei in the sum of 3 for that purpose, and Smith was remanded. The voluminous depositions of the witnesses were then read over by Mr. Johnstone, the second clerk, and th• prisoner was fully committed to Newgtve for trial upra the charge of " Wilful Murder."

THE BOARD OF HEALTH. A very numerous deputation from the Metropolitan Sanitary Association waited, by appointment, upon the General Board of Health, at Gwydyr House, yesterday, for the purpose of presenting the memorial agreed to at the public meeting held at the Free masons' Hall on Wednesday week. One of the main objects of the memorial, it will be remembered, was to impress upon the board the necessity of including the metropolis within the provisions of the Public Health Act. The dep u t a ti on was h ea d ed by Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., M r . Sl aney, M.P., Sir William Clay, M.P., and Mr. Wyld, M.P. e l r d e , nacned toD trileGanveione,ssbirtyieflwvha.dh d re l s i s r e . d S t i h a e n e b Y o ' a rMd r. Wr existed for a constant supply of water to all parts of the metropolis, and to the increasing mortality during the last four years. The Earl of CARLISLE, on behalf cf the board, agreed with the deputation that it would be very dis astrous if no further attempt were made to remedy the sanitary condition of London. The time of the Board of Health had been given incessantly to the objects they had before them during the past year, and it was now specially devoted to matters con nected with the improvement of the sanitary condi tion of London. It was not in his power now, as a member of the Government, to state the exact time or order in which it may be found . po?sible to sub mit legislative proceedings to the cognizance of Par liament ; but he trusted that very little time would be lest before a beginning in that course is made. The Rev. Mr. MacKetszts and Mr. C. H. J. LORD added a few observations, the former in relation to improving the dwellings of the poor, and the latter upon the necessity of amending the Nuisances Re moval Act; after which the deputation took their leave, apparently much gratified by the result of the interview.
