Jos.kth Munso n , was indictel for settittg fire property of Tiliomas Peck, on aria 1 it may be remembere-det- he , a -as tried and acquitted o aker, residing at' Soham r prt )secution. Mr. Dasent were coulasyl for .tho that at the last March assizeg. ' The prisoner is a ba=l, sc. t, fi re to a barn in that town, a charge of attempting to last where several incendiary ,have occurred within thetwelve months, by in into it a bundle of combustib t w c a3 fin tunaaely discOvered. As soon as the which was taken up, on suspicion prisoner re turned t , a Soham, he before the incident of former inaluiry, but in beenoccu respectr re the do i v y I:ich no proceedings had been taken .agains bim at the last assizes. It now appeared that Mr..Peek's ea•e broke out abut a quarter pa , t seven o'clock iai the a a ,oxing of the Ist of No;'eraber, and consumed the w. hole o f tt s,traw stack, and portio - ns of ,two stubble staeaks con th e . following morning there WAS discovered a blackinj bottle ,ae.'th the neck broken off, and bearing marks ott the inside as if it had been filled with some combustible matter. "-This, eaircumstanee .at once satisfied that authorities .that this fire had teen - the deliberAtti act of some ince,,diary, who was also the author of the: other fires in .'be same town ; for in many of them: similar bottles hat; been found. In order to connect the prisoner with this ou:rage it was shown that on the Ist of November, which was q Sunday, be partook of break fast, dinner, and tea at a cublic-house where he boarded, and that he quitted the house a: a quarter to six o'clock in the evening, saying he was going' to clue :Del. He was neat seen to emerge, at a quarter past s:x, from his workshop, where he must have had a light and a fire too, for sparks were observed to issue from the talaimney. For a few paces he was traced up Church-str net, to wards Mr. Peek's premises, but was soon lost sigl tt of in the crowd. At twenty minutes past six, however, he was met going into the house where he lodged, when he said he was going to change his coat, and gal to the chapel, which began at half-past six o'clock, mad stood next door to his workshop. In five minatest. after wards he was agaita met, going in a directioo from his lodging to the cbapel ; but it did not clearly ap pear at what time he entered the chapel. Accord:Tag to one account, he made hie appearance there in tho first singing, and according to another he did not come till the second singing. At any rate the witnesses agreed in saying that the cry of " fire " arose iti the chapel about half an hour after he had taken his seat ; so that if he really were its author, he must have accomplished his object by throwih k g: s ome combustible substance into the stack, which badi smouldered for nearly three-quarters of au hour before the flan: es broke out. As soon as the cry reached the chapel the congregation rushed out en masse, and ree pot indicated by the glare of the flames, paired to the' $ i ntion of the prisoner, who coolly went t o )N th i e th h t o h m e e xcel where e he boarded. and changed his coat,- again observing, " Well, they can't blame me for this fife, at all events, fat' I was at chapel." In addition to ttese facts, it was fin ther shown that the prisoner had etm,att voured to borre'w a black pair of trousers on thin day;. from two people, ,under the pretence that he wanted them to wear at t'. funeral at Milden-hall, at three o'clock, though he eN'ld not by any possibility have reached that place by abatt time; and when he was taken in custody after the last assizes, he observed, " This is a worse job than the laa't, and if I get clear of it I'll take care never to set foot"' aga a n in Sobani." This being the whole case against the rrisoner, Mr. NAYLOR addresse3 the a jury on his behalf, tending that the evidence only wen t to raise a suspicion aga inst the prisoner, and that, too , of the very slight4eit c h a racter, so that it was quite impossib le for them to m come to any conclusion hostile to the prisoner. Mr. Justice PATTESON said, that it was very - a 2ar that the prisoner had got a bad name at Soham, and he quite agreed with him, that if he got clear now he would do well not to return to wham, for this case was an illustration of the old adage.aii9Ut giving a " dog a bad name.' There was nothing against the prisoner here but suspicion and -coaajectule, , crested by provioui events, and it was for the jury to say wethefsthey:ceUlU safely convict a man on such testimony as that adduced by the prosecutor,. 'with was bound to meta , aonable charge clearly, and so 'as not to leave any rea 1 out the doubt of the prisoner's guilt. Here the prison. er o the was not shown to be at any time of the evening nea rer stack than 400 yards, and the bottle was n ot b y any . t at pretence traced to him, whilst it was very likely every man in Sohana had such a bottle in his poss.essiem• The Learned Judge then went through the rest ,of the case in detail, and at the conclusion of his observat . jeas , as might have been expected, The jury returned it verdict of Not Guilty. His LORDSHIP • then, addressing the prisoner, told hiratk that if he took his ;advice he would not go back to Soham, as it was clear he bad a bad name among is neighbours. The prisoner bowed his tha.'llas to the jury and retired from the dock on this "his secClid appearance in the same character," expressing it to be his intention to take the Learned Judge's hint, and ~ .'mover go back to Soham no more." mother of In the other case of arson, wherein the. to certain this prisoner was charged with having set fire . her son premises at Soham, soon after the committal of .ed the for trial at the last assizes, the grand jury ignok bill.

VICTORIA LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, No. 18, KING WILLIAM-STREET, CITY. DIVISION OF PROFITS. At the first Septennial Meeting of this Company, held on the llth March last, a BONUS, averaging 23 per cent. on the amount of premiums paid, was declared on Policies entitled to participate in Profits. Four•fifths, or SO per cent. of the entire Profits of the Company, will at future divisions be appropriated to all Assurers entitled to share therein. Every advantage is •ffered by this Company to Assurers. On Policies taken out for the whcW term of life, one-half of the An nual Premiums thereon may remain unpaid for five years. Parties Assured with the Company are allowed to reside in many of the Colonies without additional charge, and the Premium required for the East or West Indies, and other extra risks, is more than usually moderate. By a plan originating with this Company, great security is offered to parties Assuring the Lives of others. Advances continue to be made to Assurers on Assignable Property or Income, and also on the guarantee of most undoubted personal sureties. Detailed Prospectuses, and every informatien may be obtained, by application at the Office, or by letter addressed to the Actuary. WILLIAM RATRAY, Actuary and Secretary. NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF POLICIES IN THE EQUITABLE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF LONDON. UNITED KIN GDOM LIFE 2 SSURANCE COM PANY, No. 8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON. The attention of Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance Company of London, is particularly called to the Half-Credit Scales of Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de clared at the next investigation of the Equitable Assurance Company's affairs, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present annual payment of one half the rates generally charged by other companies. In the event of death the sum insured will be paid, after deduction of the other half of the rates. Should the life insured survive the decla ration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may be due thereon ; or. In the event of the party being at that time In bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of the age as when first accepted.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determ , ne the former, and miscalculated hopes em !sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

JULY 21, 1847. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HUME ClRCUl7'.—Lewes, July 20. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) Maria Renshaw, 20, was indicted for having unlaw fully abandoned a certain child of which she was the mother, with the intent that it should die, and thereby intended to kill and murder it ; and in other counts she was charged with the intent to cast the burden of maintaining the child upon the inhabitants of the parish of Bexhill, where she had so abandoned it. _ _ Mr. Attree prosecuted, and Mr. Johnson appeared for ,he defence. When the prisoner was arraigned, she at first pleaded Guilty to the indictment. Mr. Baron PARKE told her that the charge made against her was a very serious one, and as the indict ment imputed several intents to her, each of which would require a different degree of punishment, he advised her to retract her plea of Guilty and to have the facts stated, so that the jury might express an opinion as to what her real intention was when she abandoned her infant. The prisoner then pleaded Not Guilty. It appeared from the testimony of the witnesses that the prisoner had been in service at Hastings, and that she was in the family way and near the period of her confinement at the beginning of June. On the 14th of that month she left Hastings and proceeded by the train to Brighton, where she took up her abode at a lodging house kept by a person named Bowley, and on the 16th she was delivered of the infant in question, which appeared to be a fine, healthy child. On the 26th of June, ten days after her delivery, the prisoner said she had received a letter:from her father informing her that her mother was dying, and that she must go home directly, and her landlady accom panied her to the railway station at Brighton, whence she started with her intant by the half-past twelve o'clock train. At this time the child was dressed in a new night-gown and shirt, and the other usual articles of dress for an infant, and the prisoner, although weak from her recent confinement, appeared otherwise in good health. When the train arrived at the Bexhill station, the prisoner got out with her child, and her conduct ex cited the attention of the clerk at the station, and it in duced him to believe that she was not in her right senses. She asked a number of incoherent questions, and was seen wandering about the station apparently in great distress of mind for a considerable time, when she again came to the station, and her conduct was still very wild and extraordinary, and she at length left by the half-past five o'clock train for Hastings ; but at this time she had no child with her. On the same evening, a person living at Bexhill had occasion to go into a field in that neighbour hood to fetch a sheep home to be killed, and while he was so engaged he heard the moaning of a child, and proceeding in the direction whence the voice ap peared to come he was led to a ditch, where ho found an infant lying among some high nettles, and quite con cealed by them from the sight of any casual passer-by, and but for the cries of the poor infant it appeared very probable that it must have lain there and perished. The child turned out to be the prisoners ' • but it ap peared that the shirt and night-gown had been taken off it, and it had nothing on its body but a napkin and a cap. The prisoner was afterwards taken into custody, when it appeared that she admitted having deserted the child, and the present indictment was then preferred against her. Mr. JoustsoN made a most feeling address to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and urged that she had been driven almost to madness by the shame of her po sition, and that when she deserted her unhappy offspring she was not in a state of mind to render her accountable for her actions, and that therefore the jury ought not to find her guilty of having any of the wicked intentions im puted to her by this indictment. The jury, after deliberating a few minutes, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Lincoln, July 19. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) Mr. Baron Rolfe took his seat upon the bench at eleven o'clock this morning, and shortly afterwards pro. ceeded to charge the grand jury, of which Sir John Trollope is foreman. His Lordship congratulated the jury upon the small number of prisoners for trial. He directed their attention, however, specially to the case of a woman charged with no fewer than three murders by the administration of poison. In the course of the day the grand jury returned three bills against the ac cused, and her trial is appointed to take place to morrow. Reuben Thacker stood indicted for stealing, at Bar rowby, in this county, on the 12th of April last, six ewes nd twelve calves, the property of John Ewinson. There was anot c e against the prisoner for stealing articlqie.appafel. . He pleaded . Guilty to the latter indictmeln. Mr. Mellor prosecuted. The prisoner was undefended. From the statements of the witnesses it appeared' that on the night of the 12th of April last the sheep were safe in a field belonging to the prosecutor. The following morning they were missing. On the Monday evening the prisoner called upon a farmer living at Gonerby, with whom he was acquainted, stating that he had come for the purpose of meeting a quantity of sheep belonging to his master, Mr. Richards, of Coston Bassett. This statement, in consequence of the prisoner having been formerly in the employ of Mr. Richards, was readily believed, and the prisoner was accordingly accommo dated with lodgings for the night, and on his bringing the sheep they were also, according to a practice which prevailed amongst the farmers of the neighbourhood, supplied with pasturage. The next day the sheep, under the direction of the prisoner, proceeded in the direction of Ewerby, and were on that evening put up at the /Plough Inn, Wilsford. In the mean time the robbery became known in the neighbourhood; the sheep were traced to Wilford, and identified by the prosecutor, and on Wednesday the prisoner was apprehended. The prisoner in his defence admitted driving the sheep (they having been delivered into his care for convey ance), but denied the robbery. The jury found him Guilty, and The Learned JUDGE sentenced him to four months' imprisonment and hard labour for the robbery of the apparel, and seven years' transportation for stealing the sheep. Martin Dale and Joseph Wright (two stout-looking fellows) were placed at the bar charged with burglari ously entering the house of Mr. Festus Dunham, of Six Hills, in this county, on the morning of the 2d of April last, and stealing certain moneys, &c., the propertylof the prosecutor and his daughter. Another prisoner, named Fidlin, was charged with being implicated in the com mission of the offence, but it was stated that he was too ill to be placed upon his trial. Mr. FLOWER stated the case to the jury. Mr. W. H. Adams appeared for the prisoner Dale; Wright was undefended. The case, which was one of great aggravation, wi be best understood by a condensed report of the ev dence. Festus Dunham—l am a farmer, living at Six Hills, in this county. On the morning of the 21 of April I was awoke by a great clattering at the door of my house. I put my head out of the window and asked what was the matter. I saw a man outside, who replied, " I'll blow your b— old brains out." I believe it was Mar tin Dale who used the expression. I did not know him before. It was a very moonlight night, and there was snow on the ground. I saw two other men come up and strike at the window. They knocked the window out, and all three men then went in. I said to my daughter, " We shall all be murdered," and I made my way out of the house for the purpose of obtaining assistance. In about half an hour I returned with assistance. The men were then gone. I left a dog in the house, and when I came back I found it had been stabbed, and was bleeding at the nose. The prisoner Wright was formerly in my employ. He had helped us to " flit," and place the furniture in the house. Frances Dunham, wife of the last witness, confirmed the main points of his evidence. After her husband left the house she and her daughter attempted to prevent the men entering her daughter's room. They placed a chest against the door. The men outside, when they found their entrance there opposed, said, " You need not place the chest there, for we mean to come in." Two men then forced themselves into the room. The prisoner Martin Dale was one of them. He had a lighted candle in one hand and a hayfork in the other. Witness asked him what his business was, when Dale replied, " We want your money," and rushed through her daughter's room into witness's room. He placed the candle upon the dressing-table, and took up 3d. in copper, which he put in his pocket. They next ransacked a drawer, but witness believed they did not take anything. Dale then presented his fork at witness's breast, and said, " D you, where's your money?" He then ransacked another drawer, and found a purse belonging to her daughter. It contained a half-sovereign, four half-crowns, two shillings, and two sixpences. Witness told the men that what money they had was in her husband's pocket, and that he was gone up the village. As soon as they heard that they went away. Next morning they missed from the house a new hat, a rosewood workbox, a mahogany tea-chest, and an apron. Cross-examined .by Mr. ADAMS—Had not known Dale before, but knew him immediately she saw him again. When the men got into the house her daughter Jumped out of the window and ran away. She (witness) never saw Wright ; he was not the other man in the room. Margaret Dunham, the daughter, deposed that when she jumped out of the window a man outside told her to go back. It was the prisoner Wright. She had known him from a child. She afterwards saw him in the house standing near her bedroom door. Joseph Rawson, being sworn, stated that he is a la bourer, and on the morning of the 2d of April was called up by the prosecutor. He immediately went to the front of the house, but the men were then gone. He was shortly afterwards joined by other men. There had been a good deal of fresh snow during the night. Upon examining the ground they were able to track the feet of three men from the house of the prosecutor to Lud ford Town End. The marks went up to fhe house of Fidlin (the prisoner not now upon his trial). H e (wit ness) afterwards returned to Six-hills, and cut out the " feetings," and some of these were traced to the door of Wright's house. The marks corresponded With the size an , l nail:: of Wright's boots. Tobias kirwan, constanie of Alaiketß,sen, corrobo rated the last witness with respect to the impression of foot-marks. PRIOR SD.

Woodhill Squires was capitally indicted for violating ,`he person of Mary White, in the neighbourhood of East Barkwith, on the night of the 17th of June. Mr. Dennison conducted the prosecution, and Mr. W. 11. Adams defended the prisoner. al3 a . ddress, The prosecutrix, who appeared to be a respectable' woman in the middle class of life, deposed that as she was, walking itt the public road, about half a mile from side Bark with,uanndd ac complished h t at a quartet past nine o'clock on the night in question, the prisoner, 1000! previously she had not ‘: 2 ? F i la e k n the h e r r o road, ke nown t , hrew accosted her dhaewrns upon e,nd aft t t h the capital offence with whicii he now stood charged. As a matter of course, the prosecutrix Ivo much alarmed and distressed, and upon her return home, a distance of about two miles, she fainted. Her husband was not at home, and she never communieted to any person what had occurred, until his return home' the following Friday night. Measures were adopted for the apprehension of the offender, and in the first in stance, in consequence of the prosecutrix's descriptions a wrong man was taken up in mistake. This was, how ever, soon rectified, and the prisoner delivered into the custody of the pol ce, and subsequently committed by the magistrates for trial. For the defence several witnesses were called, who swore most positively that they were with the prisoner from half-past 8 until 10 o'clock on the night the atsesult was said to have been committed; that he was nevef within half a mile of the spot; and that he wore a dress different to that described by the prosecutrix. It was not contended that her story in any other respect than with regard to the identity of the prisoner was untrue; and it was shown that a young man more nearly answering the description she gave of her assailant was seen lurking in the neighbourhood about the time the offence was said to have been committed. Mr. Baron ROLFE, in summing up, observed upon the possibility of the prosecutrix, under the circum stances, being mistaken as to the prisoner's identity; and The jury, with little hesitation, Acquitted him. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Lord Chief Justice DENXAN.) Business in this court commenced at 10 o'clock, and the cause list, when published, presented 11 cases for trial, four of which are to be submitted to special juries. One is an issue directed by Vice-Chancellor Bruce, with regard to the validity of a will, and another an indictment against the Rev. Principal of the Grant ham Free Grammar School, for the ill-usage of one of his pupils. The cases tried to-day were of little interest. BERTIE V. PIGGIN. This was an action to determine a right of way in the parish of Gedney, in this county. Mr. Humfrey, Q.C., and Mr. Waddington were counsel for the plain tiff; and Mr. Whitehurst, Q.C., and. Mr. Macauley for the defendant. An action between the same parties, and relating to the same right, was tried at the last assizes; but on that occasion the present plaintiff was defendant, and the de fendant plaintiff. At the firt trial Mr. Piggin contended that he had an immemprial right to the road in question, but it was shown by documents that the right was only enjoyed upon sufferance. Mr. Whitehurst, therefore, on this proof, allowed his client to be nonsuited. Since the last trial the defendant had proceeded to comthit a trespass by destroying a fence, and the present action was brought to determine his right to do so, and by this means again bring to issue the relative rights of the parties. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 405., thus confirming the verdict passed at the last assizes. WEBBER AND WIFE V. HIIDDLESTON, GENT., ONE, &C. This was an action for slander, which created some interest among the citizens of Lincoln. Mr. Humfrey, Q.C., and Mr. Waddington, appeared as counsel for the plaintiff's; and Mr. Whitehurst, Q.C., Mr. Miller, and Mr. Adams, for the defendant. The circumstances of the case may be shortly stated. The male plaintiff is a tailor, carrying on business in Lincoln, and the defendant an attorney, practising in the same city. It so happened that on the 7th of April last there was a masonic ball, at which a daughter of the plaintiffs picked up . a gold chain, to which a pencil-case was attiched, and 'calked it -to her mother, who put it in her pocket, for the purpose of giving it to the % ':ruister of the cere monies at the conclusion of the Nance. The chain, it appeared, belonged to a Miss Wakefield, who formed one of a party which accompanied Mr. Ifuiddleston, the de fendant, to the ball. The loss soon became known in the room, and Mr. Huddleston asked Mrs. Webber if she had found a gold chain, to which she replied she had, and wished him to ' describe it. This he coulti not do. Miss Wakefield subsequently came up, and upon her stating that the gold chain had a pencil-case and a brooch attached to it, Mrs. Webber gave it up, saying, that she knew nothing of the brooch—that it was not attached. Mr. Huddleston said, " Don't tell me. It is a scandalous and dishonest proceeding to put the brooch into your pocket." Subsequently, in speaking to a Mr. Adcock, he said, " Mrs. Webber would have looked very queer if I called in a policeman." Mr. Adcock replied, " Nonsense, Mr. Huddleston;" when Mr. Huddleston rejoined, "I know the law," and whereupon Mr. Adcock walked away. It was also proved that when Mrs. Webber gave up the chain to Miss Wakefield, and denied a knowledge of the brooch, the defendant persisted in callint , the affair a dishonest proceeding, and by law declared ' he could prove that putting the chain into her pocket was a felony. An at tempt had been made to settle the case out of court, but the defendant, it appeared, was averse to making a public apology. The Jury found a verdict—Damages, one farthing. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Dorchester, July 19 . Something novel has attended the opening of these assizes. The business at Winchester was very heavy in point of length, although in truth but little business was transacted; the consequence was, that the Judges were detained in court there, one till six o'clock and the other till ten o'clock on Saturday night. As soon as Mr. Justice Williams left the court he started for Dorches ter, but did not arrive till half-past three o'clock on Sunday morning—of course it was then too late to open the commission; however, by a recent statute power was given to the Judges to postpone opening the commission for one day. The Learned Judge accompanied the High Sheriff in due state to church on Sunday, and on Monday morning his Lordship opened the commission, and then proceeded with the usual business of the assizes. The civil side was very slight, there being but four causes entered. The calendar contained the names of 22 prisoners, six of whom were charged with burglary, two with rape, two for maliciously stabbing, and one for stealing a post-office letter containing sovereigns. tw T el h v e e L o,c o l r o d ck C , h a ie n f d J d u i s s t p i o ce se W d o il f de all sa t t h a e t c Ni au s s i P esb r e m fo s r a e b fi o v u e t o'clock. John Butler was indicted for maliciously cutting and wounding William Corbyn, with intent to do him bodily harm. Mr. Fitzherbert was Counsel for the prosecution. It appeared that Corbyn was ostler at the White Horse inn at Maiden-Newton. On the 30th of May he was giving some hay to a gentleman's horse. The pri soner came from the George opposite. He asked his master for some beer, who refused to let him have any, as it was past ten o'clock at night. Th e p r i soner went away, but returned have some, and tried to get in at a gateway. Witness pushed him back, and he again went away and returned in about five minutes. Witness wished him " good night." The prisoner threw a stone at him, which struck him on the right cheek. He then ran in and stabbed him on the cheek and then on the arm with a knife. He then ran away for ten yards, and stopped and said, "I've marked you on ce an d I'll meet you aga i n anot h er night." A surgeon was sent for, who dressed the wounds, and the prosecutor was confined to his bed for a week. Another witness heard th e p r i soner s ay that he would be the death of C or by n .

It was in a very dangerous place, and an attack of pleurisy was brought onby great danger for a week. This little prisoner was asked by the Judge whether he would put any questions to the witnesses, and whether he would address the jury in his defence ? As might be supposed, he answered in the negative, and did not cross-examine the witnesses or make a speech to the Jury The jury returned a verdict of Guilty of a common assault. Tbe JUDGE said, he really did not know what to do with him, and he would defer the sentence. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —York, July 19. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) THE MURDERS AT MIRFIELD. His Lordship having ta k e n his seat at nine o'clock t h is morning, the first of these charges of murder was called on. The prisoner, Patrick Reid, is indicted for the three several murders of Mr. James Wraith, his wife, Ann Wraith, and their female servant, Caroline Ellis.
