Yesterday, a public meeting was held in the Thatc'aed-house Tavern, St. James's-street, for the purpose of taking measures to promote a subscription for the purchase of Shakspere's house at Stratford upon-. .von. Among the gentlemen present were Messrs. C. Kemble, J. P. Collier, T. Amyot, C. Knight, Ba.yl e Bernard, P. Cunningham, T. K. Hervey, Vandenhoff, Bartley, C. H. Bracebridge, Professor Torn Taylor, &c. It was stuted that communications had been re ceived from the Earl of Ellesmere, the Earl of Cla rendon, and Earl Howe, expressin g their concurrence in the .object of the meeting and their regret that they were unable to be present at the meeting ; simi lar intitmations had been also made by Lord Morpeth and Mr..Mainulay, the former being prevented from attending by a severe attack of gout, and the latter having made arrangements to leave for Holland that morning. Mr. J. P. COLLIER was called to the chair, and in opening the proceedings, briefly adverted to the steps taken by t'he Stratford-on-Avon Shaksperian Club, and th e i r s ecre t ary , M r . Bracebridge, to accomplish the object - which the meeting had been called to promote. Professor 'T. TAYLOR having stated the circum stances under which the present movement had origi nated, .and us ged the necessity for immediate exertion, moved the first resolution, as follows : " That the house in Henley-street, Stratford-upon- Avon, traditionally reputed to have been that in which Shakspere was born, and) doubtless that in which he spent a considerable period of his youth, having been advertised for sale by public auction, it is highly expe dient that a subscription should be raised for the pur chase of it, to save it from removal or demolition, and to pros arve it as a national monument; and that as the sale of the property is fixed for the 16th of September, i t is m Dat desirable that subscriptions be forwarded as speedily' as possible." Mr. (7. KEMBLE seconded the resolution, which was unanim otiglY adopted. Mr. 0.1-‘ HT referred to the consid erat i ons which went to ester giving blish the identity iG He wished to take t he opporlitunisteyofed to exist that giv g expres sion to the general desire wic h em more should be done than merely purchasin g the house, and that other places with which the name of :Shak...spere was associated should be restored and pre served. In conclusion he moved the second resolu tion, as follows : " Tb= it appears to this meeting that the Royal Shaksp, sisal Club of Stratford-up on -Avon have acted .judieiouily i n emp l oy i ng a large amount of the funds already collected under their auspices for the purchase •.of a separate portion of the Henley-street property, -which really forms an integral part of the house in which Shakspere is held ',to have. ,been born ; and that, pro .oeeding upon the same principle, it is expedient to urge the extension of the subscription to the utmost limits - which the public sympathy may determine, not for the xclnsive purpose of securing the remainder of this i n wresting property, but for connecting with that more h i mediate object the further expression in some ade- Qui to mode of the rev e r ence w h ich those who speak t h ew rds t h tongue s me which Shakspere s p o k e * most especially feel imory." :pis. P. CUNNINGHAM secended the resolution. 2.1 •r.. W. J. THOMS moved that a metropolitan com mittee I be formed to aid the Shakspere Club of Stmt. 'TILE SUN ford-upon-Avon ; which motion was seconded by Mr. F. G. TOMLINS. Mr. T. K. HERVEY, seconded by Mr. VANDENIIOFF, moved— " That the Lord Mayor of the . city of London, and other corporate authorities i n the cities and towns of the United Kingdom, be earnestly solicited, without delay, to convene meetings of their .fellow -townsmen for the purpose of taking the subject into consideration, and of raising subscriptions to be added to the fund devoted to the object in view. Mr. T. AMYOT, seconded by Mr. B. BERNARD, moved— " That the proprietors and editors of provincial news papers be respectfully invited to lend their able and powerful assistance to this undertaking, not only by strongly recommending it to their readers, but by allowing subscription s to b e p a id i n a t th e ir different offices." An animated detail of the proceedings of the Strat ford-upon-Avon committee was given by their secretary, Mr. H. Bracebridge, which was warmly applauded ; and a committee was named, consisting of upwards of 70 persons distinguished in literature and otherwise. _ _ . Mr. P. CUNNINGHAM read a statement of subscrip tions received by the Royal Shaksperian Club, and by the committee of the present meeting. From this statement it appeared that upwards of 1,2001. had been subscribed by 54 persons. Of that sum 8201. had already been spent in the purchase of the adjoining premises. Among the subscriptions are the following : Prince Albert, 250/. ; Queen Adelaide, 100/. ; Cor poration of Stratford, 100/. ; Earl Delawarr, 50/. ; Sir M. W. Ridley, 100/. ' • Mr. J.

The half-yearly general meeting of the share holders of this company took place to-day, at the company's offices, in Church passage, Guildhall, for the purpose of receiving the report of the directors, the statement of the accounts, and the ordinary busi ness of the company. J. G. FRITH, Esq., took the chair shortly after twelve o'clock, and the usual preliminary proceedings having been gone through, The Secretary, Mr. F. H. FIMMING, read the fol lowing report : " The portion of the line from Londonderry' to .Stra bane, a distance of fifteen miles, was opened for traffic on Monday, the 19th of April last. " The period which has elapsed since the opening— that between seedtime and harvest—is confessedly, the worst season of the year for traffic; and was rendered still more unfavourable by the distressed state of the country ; notwithstanding which the present receipts give satisfactory assurance, that when the traffic has been more fully developed, and the line extended to Omagh, or even to Newton-Stewart, an amply remunerative return upon the capital will be obtained. " Negotiations are now pending with parties locally interested in opening up to your railway the several dis tricts of the country adjoining it ; and it is confidently anticipated that the early establishment of additional public conveyances in connexion with the trains will pro duce a greatly increased traffic, as the shortening of dis tance' by your line between Derry and the towns lying south and west of it, will not only enable those persons who have hitherto resorted to Derry as their market, to transact their business there and return home the same day, but will extend this benefit to the inhabitants of districts which, on account of their distance, have hitherto been excluded from it. " Among the numerous benefits accruing both to the public and the company from the opening of the line, your direetors are happy to state that her Majesty's Postmaster-General has already availed himself of it, not only for the direct communication with London and Dublin, but for the conveyance of the mails to the western coast; and your directors have the pleasure of knowing that they have been enabled to confer upon the merchants of Derry the commercial advantages neces sarily arising from an opportunity of answering letters nn tha flay they taro moon; rorl , in foot, biiuging Dublin, and, consequently, London, one day's post nearer to Derry. " The general advantages to the city of Londonderry and its neighbourhood, already manifest from the work ing of the line to Strabane, have served to arouse a strong local feeling in favour of your undertaking, and a general desire for its extension. With a view of encouraging and aiding this extension, some of the leading landed proprietors have expressed their readiness to give the land required by the company on the most liberal terms, both as regards price and period of payment. "It has occasioned your directors much regret that they have been obliged to make calls beyond the amount at one time contemplated; this, however, became neces sary, from the great default of many shareholders who. from inability to pay, could not be compelled to do so. Much anxiety has pervaded the board as to en forcing the payment of calls; and it is with satisfaction they are able to state that, in many instances, by a wholesome forbearance, payments have been procured which must otherwise have been lost. Though it is hoped that no shareholder who could pay has felt him self unduly pressed, it was considered but just to those who had paid, that all having the ability to pay should do so. It is still confidently anticipated that payments to a very considerable amount will be received out of the arrears ; towards the reduction of which, the best efforts of the directors will continue to be directed. " The directors have considered it their duty to forfeit 817 shares for non-payment of calls; this for feiture is now submitted for your confirmation; at the same time they deem it just to state, that until these shares be sold after forfeiture, the proprietors thereof respectively may reclaim them by paying up the calls overdue. " Notices of forfeiture upon a large additional number of shares have been served; but negotiations have been opened by several of the holders, which it is hoped will avoid the necessity of having the forfeiture confirmed; and in several cases the second and third calls have been paid since service of the notices. " The outstanding liabilities on account of the line to Strabane amount to about 57,0001. Your directors hope that the amount of some of the claims may be lessened ; but it cannot fairly be estimated that they will even tually be liquidated for a smaller sum than 50,0001.; this amount would fully have been covered had the calls been only reasonably responded to. There is still every reason to believe that the produce of the arrears will serve very materially to reduce the liabilities, and that such arrangements may be made as will permit the ba lance to stand over until such time as the company shall have been placed in a position to meet them, by the adoption of the course which the directors are now pre pared to recommend. " Your directors continue fully impressed with the belief that the line to Enniskillen, if carried out as originally contemplated, would be highly productive ; but looking at the present state of monetary affairs, and the convenience of their shareholders, they feel satisfied that their most effective way of ultimately se curing the construction of their whole line is by taking steps to limit, for the present, the length of line and the amount of capital. With this object in view, your directors beg to submit the following suggestions for your approval. " Your capital is at present 600,0001., represented by 10,000 shares of 501. each ; of these shares 633 were forfeited at your last meeting, 817 are now submitted for forfeiture ; and it is believed it may be necessary to increase this forfeiture to the extent of 3,000 shares, leaving 7,000 shares in the hands of responsible pro prietors. " Your directors would therefore suggest that the line should be limited to Omagh, and that, for the present, the portion of it between that town and Enniskillen should be abandoned, and the capital reduced from 500,0001. to 350,0001. ; and that this sum of 350,0001. be represented by 14,000 shares of 251. each; and that each shareholder of the present capital shall, for every 501. with 251. paid up, become the holder of two shares of 251. each with 121. 10s. paid. This suggestion, if adopted, will reduce the amount of capital; enable the company to borrow 116,0001. immediately the change be made; and will, by reducing the shares from 501. to 251. each, render them more marketable. Should this plan be adopted, it is confidently hoped that the line to New town-Stewart may be opened without calling upon the shareholders for any payment towards it beyond the 121. 10s. per share above-named. " Your directors looking at the aid rendered by the Government, in course of last session, to such Irish rail way companies as were legally entitled to a loan (a position which they much regret this 'company had not attained), entertain a sanguine hope that in the coning session a further measure for aid to Irish railways will receive the sanction of her Majesty's Government ; in which case, by the plan now proposed, this comp any would at once be enabled to participate in its bene fits, and thereby be in a position to extend the line. to Omagh." After some discussion, the report was agreed to_ Eight hundred and seventeen shares were declined forfeited. The directors that went out by rotation were re elected, with the exception of Mr. Robert Bond, who was rejected upon its being stated that he had not paid up his calls, and Alexander Lindsay, Esq., the present mayor of Derry, was re-elected in his room. Mr. Bloxam was re-elected one of the auditors. A resolution to the following effect was unani mously adopted :—" That the works shall not be ex tended beyond Strabane until the proposal for the same shall have been submitted to a general meeting of the shareholders." A resolution was also carried " That the capital of the company he reduced to 350,0001., in shares oi' 25/. each, and that the line between Omagh and Ennis killen be abandoned for the present, and until the directors have procured powers to effect the same," It appeared from the statements of the Chairman that there was upwards of 80,000/. in arrear for calls, but the solicitor of the company stated that he was in hopes they would be enabled very shortly to get more than 30,0001. of that amount. A resolution empowering the directors to adapt the most vigorous measures for enforcing the payment of the calls was unanimously carried ; and, after a vote of thanks had been carried to the Chairman a nd directors, the meeting separated. DIRECT LONDON AND PORTS MOUTH RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) The third ordinary meeting of the shareholders of this company was this day held at the Lonilon Tavern. Wilkinson, usual E s preliminaries. , chairman havingthe T . he chair was taken at one o'clock by W. A. which the directors strongly disposed of proprietors the immediate the SECRETARY proceeded to commencement recommended natmhd the line h n e ded repot ot fo t, it hb i in works under the conviction that ' would - not , prove a profitable com merc i a l investment, only confer a great ex t ent of local advantage , but n w di oula as it must, the carrying tr a d e to Portse c a o a m n m d a Po n rtx g, mouth, and the large pleasure traffic which wovld ensue from cheap, quick, and frequent trains betwref. the metropolis and the Isle of Wight. B ut the Kiln_ rectors were fully impressed with the necessity :for caution in the present depressed state of the money market, and they trusted that the propritors would repose confidence in them that they would only upon the shareholders at such time, and in s thch manner, as might be most conducive to their inte] 'est under all the circumstances of the case. The four directors who retired from office were—Benjamin Baines,! James Robinson Greig, John Laurie, and James Whiskin, Er;q., but they were eligible for re election, and the board recommended their re-election accordingly. From the statement of receipts and disbursements; of the company, from the period of its formation up, to the 30th of June, 1847, it appeared that the total amount of the former on deposits and calls had been 109,3311. 75.; the total sum expended had been n7o4l,46atini.y of 35,4 16s. id., leaving i lid. balance in the hands of tb e The CHAIRMAN said, that in moving the adoption , of the report, he would briefly refer to the position of tb e company. Ab out twelve months since the share - holder s gave their consent to the terms of agreem en t of th e p roposed the London amalgamation of thi s company wrah 4nc4 Brighten Railway. The lall l autlrorising that amalgamation had, however, been thrown but in the House of Commons. The same circumstances which previously were con sidered as strong reasons for an alliance with the Brighton Company still existed with equal force. He thought that it was yet within the possibility of events to recover the moneys already spent in the concern, or to make some arrangement by which the line would be made profitable to the shareholders. If the line was not made there was no doubt but that all the moneys hitherto expended would be lost, and unless they could make up their minds to complete it the concern must at once be abandoned. Now, there was no doubt but that the line, if made, would prove a paying one ; there was also a very strong feeling in the county in favour of the line on the part of the landholders through whose property the line would pass. He had received a requisition signed by upwards of 800 landholders, urging the directors to make the line. To that requisition he would, however, take the opportunity of answering, that if they wished to have the line made, they must, of course, come forward and render some assistance in making it. In the present position of the com pany the utmost reduction had been made in the estab lishment, and Mr. Cubitt and his; son, the civil en gineer, had most handsomely promised to give their services gratuitously. He would therefore conclude by moving the adoption of the report. In answer to a question put by a SHAREHOLDER, Mr. CUBITT said that the line could be worked well as a locomotive line, and could be constructed at a cost of about 1,100,0001. The report was carried unanimously, an amend. ment which had been proposed having been with. drawn. A resolution authorising the the re-election of Benjamin Baines, James Robinson Greig, John Laurie, and James Whiskin, E s qs., was then una nimously agreed to. A SHAREHOLDER then moved, as an amendment, that the vacancy in the direction should not be filled up. JOHN LAURIE, Esq., one of the directors, seconded the amendment, which, having been put, was declared to be lost. Some discussion then arose upon the re-election of Mr. Greig, one of the directors, on the ground of his being a holder of land through which the line would pass, but ultimately the original motion was agreed to by a large majority. A vote of thanks ;was then given to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) CROWN-OFFICE, AUG. 22, 1847.

MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity offered at public sale amounted to 10,227 bags and 13 casks, the demand was active, and the whole sold at a further rise of Gd to ls. FOREIGN.—On the part of the home trade here a stronger desire has been manifested to operate this week, and privately they have taken several parcels of various descriptions, paying an advance of 6d per cwt, and our refiners working under bond have operated with more freedom. For exportation the demand has been good. whilst merchants have obtained prices 6d above those previously current. At pnblic sale 368 bags of Java went at stiffer rates. Of Cuba Muscovado 250 hhds went at stiffer rates. Of White Havannah 130 chests, in bond, were taken in. at 28s to 28s 6J for good white, slightly damaged, and middling at 27s to 27s 6d. The shippers have been the chief purchasers at the pvblic sales. TEA.—Holders of Black remained firm, and will not sell, but at full rates, there has, however, been little dis position evinced to operate in any kind privately. Far common and good sound common Cougou cash 9d to 9id per lb are the prices insisted upon. For Green the market has a quiet appearance, but the prices obtained have been equal to those that existed previously, and holders evince firmness. The better ketter kinds of young Hyaena have, however, attracted attention, and a fair amount of business has been done at a rise on former rates of 2d per lb. Of the 5,500 pkgs offered at public sale yesterday, only 1,200 were sold. COFFEE.—This afternoon at public sale 29 casks of Jamaica Coffee sold at about former rates—good ordinary 40s to 435, flue ordinary 50s, fine fine ordinary 53s to 555, triage 30s to 36s 6d. 100 bags Laguayra were taken in at 60s to 63s for low middling colory, which is above the previous value. 354 bags and 6 casks of Plantation Ceylon sold at the former currency— low middling grey at 555 to 565, fine ordinary 50s to 50s 6d, pea berry 653 to 68s, sea damaged 35s to 63s 6d, triage 32s to 395, and low 19s to 28s. 81 bags Rio were taken in at 34s for line ordinary. COCOA.— This afternoon West India Cocoa was operated in with caution, and 497 bags at auction were only in part sold at a fall on former rates of 2s to 3s per cwt. Trinidad, middling to fine red went at 46s to 50s 6d, St. Lucia, low and middling greyish red 43s to 45s per owt. SPICES.—The demand for nutmegs has not been so good, and a decline in prices of Id to 2d per lb took place; privately there has been little passing in shipping or in home trade auction ; at auction 18 cases and 3 bags were sold. For Mace the market is quiet, and previous rates are with difficulty supported. Cloves are held for full rates, but little has been done privately. Ginger is dull of sale, and for Jamaica prices have fallen. For Cassia Lignea there are few buyers, and although the supply is small prices tend down wards. The purchases made in Cinnamon are upon a more extended scale, and the rates obtained are rather above those of the last quarterly sale; at auction 111 pkgs sold at Is to Is 6d for inferior. Black Pepper is offered upon previous reduced terms, still ex porters and the home trade have operated with caut;on by private treaty, and none has been offered at auction.

For East India, the market, however, has a flat appear ance, and 2s. to 2s. ld. is the value of proof. Leeward Island is little required. The business done in Demerara has been trifling, and 3s 3d to 3s 74 is the value of strong. In Brandy, there has been little passing in any kind, whilst holders are willing to sell. Geneva is only in limited request for exportation. The price of British Corn Spirits is Its for English, and los lld to Ils for Scotch and Irish. INDlGO.—Although East India kinds can be obtained rather under the rates of the last quarterly sales, still all kinds have been operated in with caution by the home trade, whilst the shipping orders are trifling. Spanish is little required. SALTPETRE.—To-day the market was better supplied with Rough. At public sale 3,425 bags of Calcutta were offered, but little desire shown to operate, and a small part sold at former rates. Lee DYE.—The deliveries are going on satisfactorily, and nearly as large as they were in the past season by nearly one half, and the stock is smaller by 2,575 chests. Prices are, however, above those of late years, and the quantity expected to arrive is small. Holders have confidence, and offered none at public sale this week, but privately the purchases mado have been of little moment. Wm.—This afternoon at public sale 112 tuns Colonial Sperm partly sold at rather lower rates; fine 84110 s to 851, low dark 80/, and Headmatter 861. 43 tuns Southern Whale sold at 241 13s to 261 5s for low to good double compass, being cheaper.

(continued from our Afternoon Edition.) LATEST PARTICULARS. SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. Up tr, this hour fifteen persons, more or less in jured, have been taken to the workhouse and the Chartreg Cross Hopital. Of these four are dead ; the c t hers are under medical treatment. The escape- of policeman F 111, and his family, were most miraculous. The man, with his wife rand children, had gone on board the boat with the intention of proceeding to London-bridge. They' had seated themselves on deck when suddenly, on the explosion taking place, they were all blown up into tike air and descended into the cabin of the vessel,, which was under water, the sides having been lo' town out, and they managed all to scramble on sh o: re through the sides of the vessel unhurt. The Rev. 11Ir. Smith, the chaplain of the St. Martin's workhouse, with his lady, were among the persons who had pail their fare to go to London-bridge. Mrs. S mith had got on board, and Mr. Smith was on the pit Ir about to step on board when the explosion took place. .Mrs. Smith was scalded by the steam, and was blown into the water, but was fortunately rescued. Mr. S with escaped unhurt, the explosion having taken l 'face as he was in the act of stepping on the lighter in order to get on board the boat. The wreck is still under water, as the tide has not sufficiently receded tto enable persons to examine her cabins, con sequentry the full extent of the mischief cannot as yet be a sic ertained. The following account has been forward( f'7l us by a gentleman who was coming down river from Vauxhall shortly after the accident happened. "On arriving at the West minster rier, we were informed that an explo sion of o n, s of the halfpenny steam-boats had taken place, anti that several lives had been lost ; conse quently e were all on the look-out. The banks of the river !from Westminster to Waterloo-bridge were crowded, and thousands were assembled on the Hungerf 'o: rd suspension bridge, tho Adelphi terrace, and tho various piers on the river. There w ex e boats dragging in all directions in the neighbor '.fr hood of the wreck, and as we approached the Ade'/p , hi Pier the wreck was distinctly visible. The who h of the after part of the vessel (that is to say the :part lying towards Westminster -bridge, was u ader water. The funnel was gone, but fife paddle-boxes on each side were apparently uninjured. The name " Cricket" could be disti nk - t 1 ly seen, b ot h on t h e i ns ide and the outside of the pudgy lle-boxes, which must have been held to gether ty the keel, for the deck was destroyed, and be N een them flowed the River. The -, ~. _ head of the boat (that is to say the portion directed from the paddle-boxes towards London- bridge) appeared perfect, so that the explosion must have taken place in that part of the boiler which was nearest to Westminster-bridge. During the day the banks of the river in the neighbourhood of the accident have been crowded, and but for the efforts of the police some fearful accidents would have occured from the extreme pressure of the crowd. For in stance, on the Adelphi-terrace there were symptoms of the rails giving way, but the police kept the crowd back, and prevented undue pressure. Too much credit cannot be given to the police for the judgment and the excellent temper which they have exhibited throughout the day in the performance of a most difficult duty. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) The inquiries at the Charing-cross Hospital and at the St. Martin's workhouse, during the afternoon, have been most unceasing by par ties who feared—and frequently more from fear than from any other circumstance—that their relatives had either been killed or maimed by the heart-rending occurrence, and the scene of the disaster, and every spot which would com mand a view of it, was taken possession of by immense crowds, ho flocked from all directions—in fact the neighbourhood during the whole day has worn the appearance of a fair. The boat has been covered by the tide, and is now slightly uncovered by its ebbing. Boats have been busily engaged in dragging for bodies, for there is a general belief that several have yet to be found ; for it is quite impossible to esti mate whether there are yet fifty or more in the water. A general opinion prevails that some bodies will be found in the cabin, which has been under the water since the moment of the occur rence, and as soon as the tide subsides immediate search will be made. Up to the hour we write, no more bodies have been found ; but that there are more in the water, and that they will be found at the extreme flow kof the tide there seems little doubt. The sufferers in the hospital are improving ; no serious result is anticipated. We understand that the unfor tunate man Blunt, the watchmaker, was proceeding to his work in Cornhill when the accident happened. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. A young woman, Mary Martha Stenson, attended before Mr. Arnold to support an adjourned charge preferred by her upon a previous day against Thomas Storer, a police-constable of the H division, of com mitting an aggravated and indecent assault upon her person on the night of Sunday, the 15th inst. Mr. Medlicott, the superintendent of the defendant's division, was present to hear the case. The complainant was now accompanied by several additional witnesses, amongst whom were City Police constable 736, who was stated to be prepared to prove that the young woman Stenson had complained to him immediately after the occurrence of the gross ill usage to which she had been subjected by the defen dant ; and also the servant of the premises adjoining the scene of the alleged outrage, who had been dis turbed by the violent barking of a house dog, which barking, as the complainant stated, was alone the cause of the defendant releasing her and desisting from her further molestation. Upon the case being taken, the defendant, who was three times called by Tilt, the usher, did not make his appearance to answer the charge, and In spector Harris intimated to the magistrate that in consequence of the report of the previous proceedings being laid before the Police Commissioners, the con stable had not only been suspended until the result of the investigation had transpired, but had received express orders to attend the court at two o'clock that day, and had not done so, and he (Mr. Harris) had now no reason to expect that he would attend. Mr. ARNOLD said, that under these circumstances he should order the complainant's statement to be taken down in the shape of an information, and issue a warrant for the defendant's apprehension. A powerful fellow, named Alfred Scovell, was charged with having broken into the dwelling-house of Mrs. Elizabeth Webber, in Old Gloucester-street, Haggerstone, and stolen a large quantity of property. Shortly before one o'clock that morning, as a pri vate watchman, named Pink, was passing at the rear of the prosecutrix's premises, he observed a man sud denly vault over the garden wall. He communicated what he had seen to a police-constable, N 229, who searched about, and having discovered a large bundle at the foot of the wall, secreted himself in an adjoin ing outhouse, and after watching there for a few mi nutes saw the prisoner stealthily advancing towards the bundle, and immediately pounced upon and se cured him. Ile conveyed the prisoner to the station, where the bundle was found to contain a quantity of expensive female wearing apparel, and, on searching the prisoner, a trinket box, two pairs of bracelets, and numerous other articles were found in his possession. The policeman then returned to the house, and found that the lower part of it had been thoroughly ran sacked, and all the portable articles of furniture, from the chimney glass and beds down to the very fire irons, separately packed up and placed in readiness for removal. Mrs. Webber stated that she left home at nine o'clock in the evening, and on her return, about one o'clock in the morning, she found the back parlour window had been forced open, and the lower apart ments in the disordered state described by the officers. She identified the several articles produced as being her property, and safe in her house when she left home at the hour mentioned. The MAGISTRATE directed the depositions of the witnesses to be at once taken by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, and the prisoner, who reserved his defence, was fully committed to Newgate for trial. CLERKEN WELL. Yesterday Hear% Scobell, aged 24, a journeyman carpenter, was charged by Louisa Bradford, a young woman residing at No. 2, Wheatsheaf-court, St. Pancras, with having stabbed her with intent to murder. The prosecutrix, having been sworn, said she was a single woman. She occupied a parlour in the house No. 2, Wheatsheaf-court, St. Pancras. On the night of last Saturday three weeks, about twelve o'clock, she met the prisoner on Pentonville-hill, and entered into conversation with him. He accompanied her to her lodgings, and remained with her for soisie time, when they quarrelled in reference to some money. The prisoner struck her a violent blow on the head, knocked her down, and otherwise ill-used her, and stabbed her with some weapon, on which he rushed out of her apartment, locked the door, and ran away, leaving her bleeding. Her cries of " Murder brought the assistance of a young man, a lodger in the upper part of the house, who finding the door locked, got in at the window. When the prisoner stabbed her he said, " There, I have done you, and I will do it again." She never saw the prisoner after wards until Wednesday night at twelve o'clock when she met him in Pentonville-road, and gave into cus tody on the charge of stabbing her. He then said he had done it, and he would do it again. By the BENCH—I believe he stabbed me with some metal instrument. I am sure it was done by the prisoner's hand, and not by falling against anything. Asked him for the key of the room, and he said he would stick to it. John Turner, the lodger, said he lived in the upper part of the house, 2, Wheatsheaf-court, St. Pancras. On the above morning, between one and two o'clock, he was in bed, when he was alarmed by the cries of "Murder." He went down stairs, and knocked at the door of the prosecutrix's room. Th e p r i soner , who was inside, said, " What do you want ?" Wit ness inquired why he had been ill-using the woman ? He replied, " You had better get a light and see." I returned to my room to get a light and dress my self, and when I went back again I found her covered with blood. The prisoner rushed out and locked the door. By Mr. TYRWRITT--When I wen t t o th e room on the first alarm of murder, the prosecutrix said, " The beast has cut and stabbed me." Police-con s t a bl e 73 N d e p ose d th a t on W e dnesday night, at twelve o'clock, he was on duty on Penton ville-hill, when the prosecutrix was looking fbr a policeman, and the prisoner was about a dozen yards from her. Heard him say to another woman, "Never mind, I can soon run away from the policeman. The prosecutrix said, "I give this man in charge for stab bing me." The prisoner said, " I did it, and I will do it again." She said she had given information to the police of the E division. He said he had done it, and would do it again, several ti mes on his way to the station-house. He was searched, and a clasp knife (now produced) with the point broken was found in his pocket. Mr. Delany, surgeon, of Chalton-street, Somers town, deposed that on Saturday, the 14th instant, the prosecutrix came to him, when he examined her and found a circular wound near the thigh three-quarters of an inch in circumference, and so large that it had the appearance of something having been t urne d round in it ; and in his judgment it must have been inflicted by some weapon of metal pushed in with force. Mr. TYRWIIITT now intimated to the prisoner that the evidence was concluded, and the time had arrived for him, if he thought proper, to say anything in his defence, but he would caution him that he was not bound to say anything ; if he did, it would be written down and used for or against him at his trial at the Old Bailey, where he would be committed to take his trial. The prisoner, a tall, raw-boned, sullen 100", b e tter a ° ' fellow, said, indifferently — " T hen I had say nything." He was then fully comm itted for trial, fina the parties were bound over to p rosecute. r LAMBETH. Yesterday Thomas Fo.,ter, alias Chitty, JA I ' Taylor, Charles Smith, and Eliza Eaton, alias Fitz' gerald, were again placed at the bar before 3,11'• Elliot, the three former on suspicion of breaking irlit° the dwelling-house of Mr. William Strange, a tailor and draper, at Tunbridge-Wells, and stealing the!' from superfine cloth to the amount of upwards of 701.; and the l a tter with receiving a portion of the stolen property with a guilty knowledge. and In addition to the evid ence already given/ which appeared in The Sun of Tuesday, Mr. Strange, the prosecutor, deposed that on ! J e t evening of that day week, at about half -past or o'clock, he closed his shop, and on leaving the t hee ,Pllce locked the door after him, and went to spen d evening with a friend. On returning at about 0° o'clock in the morning, he discovered that his Shop door had been forced open, and the sho clearedp 0, cloth of the value of about 701.
