After the night charges had been dis posed of, the two prisoners, Mary Young, aged 16, a casual aer. yarn to the deceased, and James Harrison, her stepfather, by trade an ivory -turner, were placed at the bar for examination. The Magistrate inquired what circumstances had led to the arrest of the prisoners on so monstrous a charge ? Mr. Hall, of Great James-street, Bedford-row, one of the committee formed to investigate the business, then stepped for. ward, and informed the Magistrate that it was in consequence of soule expressions that fell from the nephew of the murdered lady, who, on hearing of the horrid affair, instantly excl iimed— " Oh, it is that d—d rascal the stepf►ther of the girl that has murdered my poor aunt." Upon this the prisoners were ap. prehended. 7,16 i 3 rice of ECTRACTS FROM THE DAlta MORVING PAPRRS, March M 2, 1822. r -9 '33 a 19s av, was attend temp es at ldit t, sortie rom 35. ).

Lice.xsiNG MAGliTHATES.—Yesterday a very numerous and respectable Meeting of Licensed Victuallers, and others connected with the Li. ceasing of Public-houses, took place at the Free masons' Tavern, for the purpose of taking into consideration the case of Mr. James Meek, for merly of the Green Man, St. John's-lane, Clerken well, who having lost his license in 1816, preferred a bill of indictment against Sir Nathaniel Conant, Thomas Collins, Esq. and Samuel Mills, Esq. three of the Magistrates of the County of Middlesex, who were on the 9. 7th of February last tried thereon in the Court of King's Bench, and convicted of having refused to grant a license to Mr. Meek. Mr. IticllAnn JAcicsos was placed in the Chair, and a series of resolutions, applauding the conduct of Mr. Meek, congratulating him on his success, and recommending a subscription to indemnify him for his expellees, was proposed and unanimously agreed to.-- , -(Morning Paper.) Mr. Donatty, the nephew, was then called, and deposed as follows :—The deceased is my aunt; she brought me up from my childhood ; she was a widow, and resided by herself at the house in Robert-street. The female prisoner was in the prac tice of running of errands occasionally in the day-time for her, and sleeping in the house at nights. Abont three weeks ago, the deceased in a great fright came; to Ins house, and said she was fearful to remain in the house alone, as the female prisoner hal signified her intention of leavingher, and that she was afraid 'she was connected with a bad clan. I went home with her at her request, and.remained in the house till 11 o'clock, when the female prisoner came home, and. the deceased went down stairs to see her into bed. She afterwards came up stairs, and said she was determined not to stop in the house that night, and that she would go to my house. 1 told her there wits no convenience, unless she slept with the children ; she said she would put up with any thing rather than stop in the house.— She went home with me that night, gnd in the morning, about five o'clock, she went back to her own house, and told the girl she had been called out to a friend who had been taken ill. I saw her last Sunday week for the last time ; she then, in talking about the girl, said, " Mary is getting better ; I shall let my first floor, and then I shall be safe." I have never seen her since. The male prisoner has been a watchman in the House of Correction, and is connected with a very bad set. I certain ly did, on seeing the murdered body of my aunt, utter the ex pression that has caused the arrest of the prisoner. Mrs. Sarah Chessey sworn.—l live next door to the deceased. About '2O minutes before nine on the night of the murder, I was standing talking with the deceased at her own door, I had borrowed an Italian Iron of her, and had taken it home. I knocked twice at the.door before the deceased opened it. She had no light. Whilst we stood talking at the door, a strange cat ran past the deceased into the kitchen, and the deceased went down st4liirs to turn it back. I wailed till she came up stairs, and :deer a few minutes' conversation I went away, and left her standing at the door. I saw no person standing about the house at the time. In about ten minutes after I was told she was murdered. Mrs. Mary Earle—l lodge in the house of last witness. In about 10 minutes after Mrs. Chcssey came in, I heard a scream of murder ; it proceeded from Mrs. Donatty's house ; I heard it a second time, only weaker ; and then 1 heard something fall down; I instantly called Mr. Wilson, a lodger in our house, who went and knock e d a t th e d oor , and coughed through the keyhole, but received no answer ; I then mentioned it to the watchman, who, with farther assistance, entered the house by means of a ladder, an d th e b o d y was fund we l ter i ng i n i ts blood in the passage. The watchman stated, that soon after he came on his beat, he was told by the last witness that a cry of murder had been head from Mrs. Donatty's house ; he therefore communicated with the patrol, and they descended the area, and found the windows and door fast; a ladder was then procured, and wit ness, the patrol, and the night constable got in at the first floor window, and on going down s t a i rs into the passage th e body of the eased was found lying with the heels towards the street door, and her head towards the parlour. The back door was open which leads into the yard, in which was a wall six feet high ; there were marks in one corner as if some person had been climbing over ; sonic mortar was lying about. The other side of the wall was Mihnan-place, into which the murderers must have escaped. The house was completely ransacked ; every Elrawer was opened, and their contents packed up, ready to be taken away. A hag, containing a quantity of wearing. apparel, was lying near the deceased, also a sheath, which had contained an instrument about half an inch wide. The night constable corroborated the above statement ; add ing, that when he felt the body, it was quite cold, and appear ed to have been dead about an hour. There were bloody foot steps towards the yard door. The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, called his employer, Mr. Jacques, the ivory -turner, millaldwires-gardens, who proved that the prisoner was in his factory till 35 minutes past nine on the night of the murd er; an d severa l of his shopmates proved he was drinking with them till 10 o'clock at the Hole-in-the-Wall, llaldwin's.gardens. After Some observations from the Magistrate, the prisoners were instantly discharged. CORONER'S INQUEST. A Coroner's Inquest was held at the Workhouse, in Gray's Inn-lane, at three o'clock. After an examination of witnesses, which lasted until ten o'clock at night, and by which nothing material was elicited, a verdict was returned of —" Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown." The following was the only additional evidence of any in terest : Mary Ann Young, the young woman who, with her step father, were in custody on suspicion of the murder, was next examined. She deposed as follows :—She liveS at 16, Baker's-row, Clerken well ; she occasionally attended on the deceased near two years ; they agreed very well together, but sometimes there might be a trilling difference about something. - Witness lived with her mother, but came sometimes in the middle of the day to do odd jobs, or to carry message% for the deceased, but came to sleep there every night; she sometimes came there at eight o'elock, and sometimes not till past eleven or twelve. On Saturday last witness left the deceased at half-past seven in the morning, and after leaving her a loaf of bread, did not return until about half-past ten at night, when she found a crowd collected before the door, and then heard of the murder. Witness had no sweet. heart or other person that came to visit her at the deceased's, neither did she ever describe the situation of the house to any person ; neither had she any suspicion of whom the murder was committed by ; the back door was always bolted both day and night. All witness knows of the journeyman baker is, that Peter used to visit Mrs. Chessey. Mr. Donatty, the nephew, lived on very good terms with the deeeased. Witness does not know of any property the deceased might have in the house. Mr. Lewis Hensley, 42, Great James-street, Bedford-row. suri;con, deposed—l was called to attend the deceased on Satur day night last, a little after 11 o'clock, at No. 16, Robert-street; I was informed she had been murdered, and therefore hastened instantly to the spot; on entering the house I observed the deceased lying in the passage on her right side, in a slanting position, the head being on the floor, and against the partition neat the parlour door • the lower extremities were drawn up. and the left leg was lying over the right; there was a consi derable quantity of blood on the floor, which had flowed some distance, and there was blood also on the wainscot; the ear ringsswere torn from the cars of the deceased ; 1 was desirous of ascertaining if life was extinct, and I found although there was still some warmth about the eheit, that respiration and circulation had entirely ceased for some time ; the extremities were quite cold ; I then proceeded minutely to examine what injuries had heen inflicted to produce death ; I found a deep wound on the left side of the neck, passing from thejugular vein in a slanting direction towards the vertabrw, the instrument having divided both the internal and external jugular vein and carotid artery ; there was another wound on the right aide of the neck near the back part, extending towards the transverse process of the cer vical vetabrm ; probably inflicted with the same instrument as the former wound ; I should think it must have been a pointed double-edged knife, or some instrument of that kind, probably about half an inch across the blade, that was used in the per petration of the horrid deed. The other injuries I observed, were a few slight bruises on the legs and arms, and the forcible removal of tile ring-finger of the left hand ; it was cut off at the second joint, and probably by the same instrument with which the other wounds were inflicted ; 1 do not consider the wound at the back of the neck would have caused sudden death, but the division of, the large artery on the left side, which almost immediately communicates with the heart, from the sudden rush of blood which it would occasion, was sufficient to cause instantaneous dissolution. It might be as well to mention, that both the wounds were stabs and not cuts, therefore the instru ment must have been sharp-pointed. The bruises that I have referred to were in all probability produced by the struggling of the deceased, either prior to her receiving the wounds, or at. the time she tell. [wog/new cu it cm t4t.x.) The pawnbroking scheme of advancing money to farmers or warehousemen on deposits of grain has justly excited a great sensation every where, though people can hardly persuade themselves that such a scheme, through approved of in the Committee, will receive the approbation of the House. They justly observe, that an advance of money on goods manufactured for the foreign market at a time when the violent closing of that market (the long continuance of which could not be looked for) had glutted our warehouses, might •have some show of reason for it. it was then thought requisite that an effort should be made to save the destruction of much valuable property, and preserve from ruin anddilapidation many es tablishments of industry, on the activity of which the strength and welfare of the country depended. There was no over-trading in the case, against which no protection ought to be afforded.—The market existed, but the communication with it was unexpectedly cut off. But the present loan is not for the purpose of saving but destroying property ; no good grain will of course be ware housed. But the damaged corn, with which the market is now glutted, will be thrown into ware houses, for the sake of the money to be ad vanced, where it will of course rot, and thereby diminish by, so much the quantity on hand. The quantity being reduced, a rise on the remainder will, it is thought, take place; and thus the people of England will have been made to pay, in addition to their other taxes, a tax to raise the price of their food. And the best of the matter is, that, by so forcing up the price, a species of cultivation will he continued—namely, that of deriving white crops from sterile soils, which en gulphs the capital of the country, and involves the cultivators every day deeper and deeper in ruin. [MORNING POST.] Some important proceedings took place in the House of Commons last night. In a Committee of the whole House, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer developed the full particulars of his plan for relieving the country from one-half of the expence hitherto incurred under the head of the Superannuation Act. This is to be effected by deducting five per cent. from all salaries ex ceeding 1001. per annum, and two and a half per cent. from those which do- not reach that sum. Thus will a Superannuation Fund of five per cent. be created, and as the Superannuation allowances are at the rate of ten per cent. on the aggregate amount of all salaries, the public will only have to make up the other five per cent. to complete the whole. The scale of the Superannuation allow ances is to be one-twelfth of the salary for every five years' service, thus making sixty years' ser. vice entitled to the full amount. Certain re ductions are also to be effected in the amount of salaries when the places to which they are affixed shall become vacant by the resignation or demise of their holders, and till then ten per cent. will be paid on the amount intended to be dropped. These are the chief features of the plan proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and adopt ed last night in the shape of a Resolution by the House. The Right lion. Gentleman then made a communication of a far more gratifying nature, which will not fail to excite the most lively gra titude, accustomed as the nation has been to acts of genuine beneficence and patriotism on the part of her Monarch. lie stated that he had received his Majesty's commands to acquaint the House that he had given directions for reductions to be made in those departments of his household which contributed immediately to h i s personal comfort. The amount of these reductions, which will take place from the sth of January last, is not less than thirty thousand pounds a year, taken not out of the public part of the Civil List, but out of the very moderate allowance reserved for the personal use of his Majesty. [THE TIMES. The discussion on the Bill :or reducing the Five per Cents. takes place on the second read ing this night in the House of Lords. Earl Grey proposed that a case should be made out for the consideration of the Judges, whether—as by law the Five per Cent. Navy Stock could not be,reduced till five-and-twenty millions of the national debt were discharged—whether, we say, such discharge could be considered to have taken place by the operation of the Sinking Fund. It was ingeniously suggested in the House of COMMITS on Friday, by Mr. William Smith, that though it was 66 a most absurd idea " to assert that Government had a right to pay 46 off the 5 per cents., because they had from time " to time borrowed money to reduce the na tional debt, and thereby created a debt still " greater ;" yet, " as by the sale of the land-tax, " and not by loan, above 25,000,000/. of the " debt had been paid off, the legal part of the 66 question was set at rest." Upon this point we cannot help introducing a quotation from Pro fessor Hamilton's book :—" This plan (the re " demption of the land-tax) is in effect no other " than a transfer of part of the capital of the " funded debt from the former stockholders to " the landed proprietors. These last pay a value I " for the capital with which they redeem their " laud-tax, and their relief from that tax is equi " valent to their receiving a dividend to the same " extent. The landholders may still fie consi " dered as sqhjected to the land-tax at its highest 64 rate, though some of them pay it by, drawing a . " dividend for capital in the funds ) which they [NEW TIMES.] The superannuation Bill was brought io yes terday, and its object and principle were fully stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is certainly desirable, in the adoption of mea sures of public economy, that the Legislature should act, not merely with justice, but with compassion : and we are among those who think that the schemes of Mr. Hume and others for retrenchment have been in many instances impo litic, unjust, and even cruel. The circumstances of the times, however, force upon Government the performance of a harsh and invidious duty, and they have discharged it with a cautious and anxious attention to the rights of individuals as well as to the interests of the public. Sacrifices have at different periods and in different ways been called for from all the different classes of the commu nity. We have seen distress assail the manufac turer and the agriculturist : we see the small annuitant in the Five per Cent. Funds undergo ing a reduction of his income : and though we are ready to acknowledge the clerks in the Govern ment Offices to be a useful class of public ser vants, yet on them also a part of the common burthen must unavoidably fall. The Sovereign himself sets a noble example in the voluntary sacrifice of no less than a tenth part of the sum allotted to the expenditure of the Royal House hold. Out of 300,0001. devoted to that purpose the King gives up Thirty Thousand Pounds! [BRITISH PRESS.] The Chancellor of the Exchequer made his promised exposition last night respecting the ex tent and character of the system of retrenchment upon which the Ministers of the Crown acted during the last recess of Parliament, in pursuance of the votes of both Houses. The principal part of the Right Honourable Gentleman's speech referred to the superannuation scheme, by which a certain graduated proportion is 'to be taken from the salaries of all Civil Officers under the Crown, for the purpose of forming a fund to be applied to the support of retired and superannuated Officers. The most interesi ing portion, however, was that which spoke of the reductions that have been effected in the several departments of the State. The public will be pleased to learn that from the Civil List a reduction has been made to the amount of no less than 75,0001. a year. In this his Majesty has granted 30,0001. a year from that portion of the Civil List which relates more inimedialely to his own personal expences ; 20,00(i1. have been conceded from the salaries of the prin cipal Officers of State, and 25,0001. from the appointments of the Officers of the Household. The reduction in the Public Offices of State is estimated at 12,0001., and in the department of the revenue at 66,0001.; and a further gradual reduction, estimated for the present year, at 15,000/. is to be accomplished by a diminution of the salaries of office as the present incumbents retire, and new officers succeed to the situation:-. The result of the labours of retrenchment in Ile, land present only the sum of 31,0001.; so that the total amount of the present reductions eA tends no farther than 189,0001. a year. mises, in the mean time, are largely made of fit ture reductions ; but the utmost exertions of the Ministers of the Crown, not sparing even the Civil List of the Crown or their own salaries, could etTect.no greater retrenchments in the im mense establishments of the Government. This extraordinary result of such disinterested labours is the more remarkable, as the Nliiiisters theta selves at the close of the last Sessbn of Parlia ment voluntarily adopted the estimates of I.7ti`2 ; as the scale by which they proposed to regulate future expellees of the empire. The ChancolloT of the Exchequer's speech is fraught with very minute details, which of course we shell not re peat. It will be seen that he concluded his ex position by moving certain resolutions relating to the establishment of the Superannuation fund, and that those resolutions were agreed to by the House.
