Dated tht Bth day of April, 1847, TEIE INDIA/18 or NEW BRENSWICIL—As a people they are ever ready to attach them-elves to almost any kind of religion, according to expected gain. Wherever there is any show of pomp or ceremony they will present themselves ; and their last friendly visitor is always their idol, especially if he be lavish in the distribution of presents. Iu all their rv.gotiations there is little sincerity. The Indian naturally despises the refinements of civilisation; he looks upon the forest as hi, home, and even longs for , vild adventure. Much pain, have been taken to improve the condition of these people. Youn, children have been taken, with their parent?, end educated with much care. They have been instructed in the arts and agriculture; but no sooner were they liberated from their masters than they re turned to the haunts and habits of their forefathers, and became the most depraved of sll their race. By asso ciating and labouring with ch.: , inhabitants of the pro vince they have advanced slowly in agriculture, and a few families may be found who support themselves com fortably by their own exertions. But their intercourse with the whites has al , Nays been the introduction to in• temperance, disease, and idleness; and if we judge by the rapid decline in their numbers since the country was c lonistd, there is reason to tear that the day of their arrival at an ordinary degree of civilisation will not kn.. pricele the day when th e names of their races will be e blotted from the page of American history.— Gesner's New Brunswick. CORN LADEN Suirs.---X return was on Thursday issued, pursuant to an order of the House of Commons (on motion of Mr. Wawn;, showing the number of ships laden with foreign corn, entered inwards at the ports of the United Kingdom, between the sth day of January, 1846, and the sth day of January, 1847; specifying the kinkis and quantities of corn, the ports of landing, anti the ports of discharge, and whether in ships of the United Kingdom or any other nation, and to what nation they belonged. This document is in continuation of the l'aliamentary Paper 162 of Session 1846. The return occupies nearly thirty pages of tabular statements, from which, however, the following results appear :—The total number of ships laden with foreign corn entered inwards in the year 1846, at the ports of the United Kingdom, was 4,697. Of these, 1,770 were ships of the United Kingdom, 20 Russian, 62 Swedish, 1,022 Danish, 352 Prussian, 677 from the German States, 179 from Holland, 53 from France, 34 Italian, 53 Austrian vessels. 434 heloging to the United States, and 1 " unknown (stranded)," &c. The following were the quantities imported in British ships:—Wheat. 663,664 quarters; barley, 70.865 quarters; oats, 321.266 quarters; beans and peas, 249,599 quarters ; maize and buckwheat. 47,113 quarters; flour, 815,275 cwts.; oatmeal, 1,393 ewts.; Indian corn meal, 170 cwt.:. There were im ported in foreign ships-726,220 quarters of wheat; of barley, 287.579 quarters; oats, 452.832 quarters; beans and peas, 204 ill quarters; rye, 70 quarters; maize and huekwheat, 73,765 quarters; flour, 1,936,783 cwts.; and of Indian corn and meal, 2,165 cwts. NARROW ESCAPE OF THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF GUILDHALL BY FlRE.—Shortly before three o'clock yes terday morning, the utmost alarm was created in the vicinity of the Guildhall, City, by one of the private watchmen who are employed to watch the hall discover ing that the contents of the cellars were on fire. The first intimation arose from observing a dense body of smoke filling the hail. An alarm was instantly given, when the whole of the watchmen proceeded to the en trance of the cellars, and on opening the door a fierce fire was found raging. The engine which is kept on the premises was instantly got to work, and the fire-plugs having been opened, a plentiful supply of water was obtained. In a short time there were engines in attend ance, and continued playing until the devouring element gave way. Thecellars being filled with coals and faggots, and the flooring that is laid down on the occasion of ban quet: and balls being stowed beneath, occasioned en im mense mass of inflammable property to be in the cellars. Some thousands of faggots were destroyed, while several tons of coil were reduced to cinders. The fire must have been burning for several hours before the discovery was made, and but for the flooring of the hail being covered with stone, the building would have been de stroyed. An inquiry, it is understood, is to be instituted by Mr. Payne, the coroner.

COURT OF BANK it CFTC Y, April 9. (Before Mr. Cothraissioner FONDLANQUE.) IW RE WOOD. This bankrupt, who had carried on business in Grace church-street as an ironmonger, came up this day for his certificate, and was opposed on behalf of a creditor, Mr. Hinton. It appeared that he was first bankrupt in 1844, but the fiat was supereded on his pa) iug 5.. in the poutd. Since then he had speculated in houses, and wines, and merchandise, in all which he had lost money. During the last two years his losses bad heels 1.294!., and during the same period his house expenses had been 1,000/., and the trade expenses 900/. The present assets were little more than sufficlent to pay the costs of working the fiat. The official assignee said that the assignees were per fectly satisfied with the books and accounts of the bank rupt, and he had been even complimented by the Learned Commissior es His HONOUR said that the only complaint which ap peared to bear against the bankrupt wrts the excessive expenditure over the profits, but the bankrupt had stated that he only knew of one thing in which he had incurred disproportionate expens , ,, and that was in the education of his children. His Honour said that item would cover the exeess, and although it was one which xas the most justifiable, yet traders must not injure their creditors to educate their families. Under all the circumstances, he thought the suspension of the certificate fur three months would meet the justice of the case.—His Honour granted protection. _ _ An application was made in this case under peculiar circum:.tanceg ; it was for the costs of the former fiat to be first paid out of the present estate, as in 1844 there were no asset,:, but it was necessary f.br the Learned Commissioner to give leave to move the Court of Review. His HONOUR said he could not do so—h , did not see why this court and its officers should not be paid before any one else. lie had seen a paragraph in one of the papers that this court was paid from the Treasury, but it did not receive one shilling from that source, and was the only court in the kingdom which did not.

To-day wa , , appointed for the last examination under the fiat issued for winding up the affairs of this company, but the accounts not being yet prepared the case was adjourned. SECONDARIES' COURT, April 9. (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) CRIM. CON.—WOL.DGATE V. ♦LLEN. The plaintiff in this action is a law stationer in Coleman-street, and the defendant is a news agent in Goswell-street road. The action was brought to recover compensation for criminal conversation with the plain tiff's wife. The defendant having suffered judgment to go by de fault, the present was an inquiry to assess damages. Mr. THOMAS appeared for the plaintiff, and said that the defendant having suffered judgment to go by default, had admitted the allegations contained in the declaration, and it would, therefore, be unnecessary to call witnesses to prove the facts, and as the plaintiff did not seek for heavy damages, in c•lnsequence of the defendant (who is a near relation by marriage) being in humble circumstances, it would be only necessary to show that until Mrs. Woodgate formed her improper intimacy with the de fendant, she and the plaintiff had lived on happy terms. The plaintiff's wife had a chill by him, but since this occurrence a separation had taken place, and Mrs. Wood gate had taken away the child, the lois of whose society was very painful to plaintiff's fi clings. Mrs. Jane Taylor was called to prove that the plaintiff and his s ife were married about four years ago, and lived apparently happy together till the intimacy took place between Mrs. Woodgate and the defendant. Mrs. Woodgate left her husband's house with the defendant. The Learned SECONDARY said that the jury had only to consider what amount of damage; the plaintiff was entitled to. The Learned Counsel had told them that the defendant was in humble circumstances, and that the plaintiff did not seek for heavy damages. The jury gave a verdict for 20/. PARRY V. COCKBURN. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 33/. 5 , . 61, for the insertion of advertisements in the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette and the Journal of Commerce. 'rho defendant is a stationer in Aldgate. Mr. J. Stone, clerk to the phintiff's attorney was culled, and proved that a hater was written to defendant for the amount of advertisements, which were for the cure of ringworm, and for beautifying the complexion of the fair sex. Detcw'a,ut answered thy letter, stating that it was not convenient to settle the account, but would give a bill at two months, but did not. The jury gave a verdict for the full amount claimed. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT) OLD COURT. (Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.) FORGING A CFIEQUE.—James Jenkins, aged 28, a milk man, and Frederick Williamson, aged 32, a painter, were indicted for uttering a forged cheque on Messrs. Ran som, the bankers, of Pall-mall, purporting to be signed by Mr. Charles Kinnear, with intent to defraud Mr. Benjamin Prew, a clothier, carrying on business in Holborn. Mr. Brairee appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Bal lantine for Williamson, and Mr. Charnock for Jenkins. It appeared that the prisoners came into the shop of Mr. Pre H, and the one having purchased a coat and a pair of trousers. and the other simply a pair of trousers, they tendered in pat taunt the cheque in question. Mr. Prey,. however, declined to part with the things. which came to four pounds, or to cash the cheque, until he had sent it to the bank. lie sent his shopman with it, but as it was found to have I.n , en forged, payment was of course refused. ‘Villiamson gave his address at 31, Grays' Inn lane, which was found to be fictitious. The prisoners shortly after came in for the change, but they were handed over to the police. Jerkins gave his card, stating that he wogs a milkman carrying on business at 5, Church,dreet, Chelsea, adding that he was a respectable man. Tne address was found to be correct. _ Mr. Jackson, a el-4k in Messrs. Ransom's, proved Mr. Prew's shopman presenting the cheque and refusing payment. Mr. Kinnear kept an account at the bank, but his signature was forged. Mr. Knnear stated that he kept an account at the bank, and that his signature to the cheque was forged. The signature was not at all like his. The cheque pro duced and seven others had been abstrac•ed from his cheque-book. He did not know either ~f the prisoners. Mr. BALLANTINE declined to offer any observations to the jury on beh,lf of his client. Mr. CUARNOCK said Jenkins was a respectable man, ar.d that he had carried on business in Church-street, Chelsea. for several years. The prisoner Williamson owed him some money, and he accompanied him to the shop and bought the trous"rs in the hope of receiving them, and some money in discharge of the debt. Several witnesses gave Jenkins a good character, and described him as a respectable tradesman. The jury found Williamson Guilty, and Acquitted Jenki , s. Williamson and a man named Benjamin French, aged 40, and described as a carpenter, were then indicted for taloniously forging an order for the payment of 17/. 65., with intent to defraud Mr. Christopher Marsh, a carpenter. It appeared that the prisoners went to the shop of the prosecutor, and after purchasing some duals, tendered a cheque in payment. The prosecutor, however, preferred to have one in the name of the person actually dealing with him. Williamson said he ha I no form with him, but at the request of the prosecutor he wrote a cheque for 171. 6s. on a blank sheet of paper, and signed the name of " James E. Green" to it. The cheque was of course refused p tyment, as no person of that name kept an account at the bank. A person named Green kept an account, but he spelt his name differently. ‘Villiainson, it appeared, had gone by the name of John Arthur Catton. French was taken into custody at the shop of Mr. Kinnear, No. 16, Gerard-street, Soho, whose name was forged in the last case. French was present when Williamson signed the cheque. Wi.liainson was found Guilty, and French Acquitted. Both prisoners were then indicted for feloniously ut tering a forged order on Messrs. Ransom, for the pay ment of 12/. 175., with intent to defraud Mr. Henry Dearlove, a timber dealer, in the Commercial-road, well knoo. ins the same to be forged. The case was almost similar to the last. Th© evidence was also similar. Williamson said he had been the victim of some d.ep laid scheme, which he bad been, al yet, unable to un. ravel. The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced Williamson to be transpc rted for seven years. DEFRAITDING THE ST. MARTIN'S SAVINGS' BANK.— Esther Roggen, a married woman, aged 39, and Joseph Raggett, 14, her son, wore indided fur feloniously uttering a forged order for the payment of 201., with intent to defraud Nicholas Lord Bexley, and others, trustees of the St. Martin's Savings' Bank. Mr. DOANE appeared fur the prosecution. It appeared that the female prisoner had managed, by false represen tations at the bank with respect to her husband, whom she stated to be in a dying state, to obtain the payment of the 201 which he had been enabled to save from his earnings as a labourer, which she squandered in extra vagance. He did riot, however, intend to offer any evi dence against the prisoners, as the husband of the female did not wish the case carried further. Ile trusted this lenity would be a warning to the female prisoner and to others. The prisoners were then found Not Guilty, and dis charged. (Before the RECORDER.) The trial of Alexander Wilbearn, and another, who are charged with feloniously uttering a fnrged bill of ex change for 5001.. with intent to defraud Mr. Richard Fuller, was postponed until next Monday. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.) The earlier portion of the morning was passed in hearing and determining Mint cases, which contain no features to interest the general reader. Sonic trifling cases of larceny having also been dis posed of, Francis iVillians Schultze, a respectably-attired young man, who was tried some sessions ago for having em bezzled a cum of money (about 7001.) from the Universal Lite Assurance Company, Pall-mall East, but whose sentence was respited, was brought up this morning . , Mr. BODKIN, for the pr•isecution, expressed the wish of the directors of the Universal Life Assurance Com pany that the extreme penalty which the law awarded should not be exacted. The greater amount of the 11, ...ney taken had been recovered, the relations of the Bodkin) proirnsoner were highly respectable and connected with the called for the this me ouserva.tions of his e tr , .PrY, and he had himself expressed the utmost con trition for this his first crime. me JUKE, after r e. e f rogative of the Crown. Mr. 0 4 ,„_ °14 _ be held one , euenc ,, O i'ls , for the prisoner, trusted that in con se Would Learned which Fr e ie ra n i d ne ( n l t i l r y . The Learned ter enforcing upon the prisoner ' MORNING, - t! - ;e culpability of the crime of which he had been guilty, sentenced him to seven years' transportation, at the same time adding that the case, with the recommenda tion to mercy, would be forwarded to the Ministers of the Crown. EMBEZZLING PARISH FUNDS.—John George. a grocer, aged 63, was charged with stealing 801. Os. Id., the monies of the guardians of the poor in the parish of St. James's, Clerkenwell. Mr. Bodkin attended for the prosecution; Mr. Parnell for the defence. The Learned COUNSEL, in stating the case, said that the prisoner had been an inmate of the workhouse, and being rather t n able-bodied man, had been made useful, and one of his defies was to take sums of money: to the Bank of England. Up to the day of this transaction, his conduct had been found honest and praise worthy, but having been on this occasion sent with with a cheque to get cashed. He was instructed to get notes, but instead he received gold, and never returned. Some time en the day following he wes discovered, but with very little of the money left, and was therefore taken to the Clerkenwell station-house, and sub,equently committed for trial. These were the facts of the case. which he would prove by his witnesses. The Learned Counsel then called Mr. John Ilarnett, master of' the workhouse, said that the prisoner had been an inmate for about three years. and was employed as messenger, for which he received extra rations. He was occasionally told to go to the bank and receive money for cheques. On the morning of the 24th February he was tole to go to the bank and to receive 80/. 03. Id. He never returned ; and when discovered, on the next day, in a pubic-house at Acton, he had only a sovereign and some shillings; upon him. He was given into custody. Richard Moss, 195 G, was present when thy , prisoner was taken into custody. The prisoner sa id, " I t ' s gene; they'll never find it ; it's all down the leg of my trow sers. I'm an old man, and will soon he dead, and it will do go.-c 1 to these wl:o have it let them subscribe a farthing a piece and that will make it up." Samuel I .iennis, of the Bank of England, proved having cashed the cheque. Mr. PARNELL contended that the prisoner was not the servant of the guardians, or of Mr. Harnett, the master, or re . Mr. Bayliss, and other guardians (as laid in the indictment) within the meaning of the act. The Learned Counsel cited cases in support of his position. Mr. BODKIN replied The Learned JUDGE decided that the objection was untenable. Mr. PARNELL then reldressed the jury, and suggested the great probability that the prisoner, finding that he had lost the proceeds of the checque, was afraid to return, and had therefore fled from London. They were en titled to believe this in the absence of any proof as to what had been done with this considerable sum of money. The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended him to the merci ful consideration of the Court. Sentence deferred. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The Court sat by adjournment yesterday morning at ten o'clock, at the Guildhall, Westminster, for the disposal of cases of felony and misdemeanour within the jurisdx tion of that district. Mr. Witham presided as chair man. John Leach, a lad about fifteen years of age, was in dicted for stealing a loaf of bread. _ _ The prisoner pleaded guilty, and said he committed the offence under the influence of pressing hunger. He had been deserted by his father. The CHAIRMAN said this was one of those painful cases where want too often induced crime. The disposal of poor children like the prisoner was, he was glad to say, now occupying the attention of the Legislature, and he hoped they would not overlook in their deliberations the adoption of some means for punishing parents who, like those of the prisoner, turned their offsprings out on the world with no resource to stave off starvation but thieving. He should only sentence the prisoner to fourteen dAys' confinement. Mary Webb was indicted for an assault upon an old Chelsea pensioner, named Joseph Atkinson, upwards of ninety years of age. It appeared that the prisoner lived with the prose cutor's son, and upon the old man entering the room where they all resided, the prisoner rushed upon him, and struck him several blows with a candlestick on the side of the head. The landlord found him on the floor in a pool of blood.- The prisoner - ;as found Guilty ; and sentenced to three monthl: imprisonment, with hard labt,ur. This case terminated the business of the session. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT—Gloucester. Ap'il 7. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE ) David Johns, 47, a sweep, was charged with bur gloriously breaking open the dwelling-house of James Trotman on the night of the 20th of February last, and stealing therein a silver watch and other articles, the property of James and William Trotman ; also with having, at Miles, on the 21st, maliciously cut and stabbed John Banning, with intent to murder him. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the first charge, and not guilty to the second charge. John Banning examined—l saw the prisoner about half past five in the morning. I was dressed in police man's clothes. When the prisoner saw me he turned out of the path. When I was about to speak I received a blaw from soma weapon on the side of my head. I had a stick in my hand, and immediately retaliated, by giving the prisoner several blows. Ile then succeeded in g etting my walking-stick. I wrested the stick from the prisoner, and we wrestled together, and tell over one of the bundl.-s. We were both down. After we had been on the ground some time we both got up, and I said, will you give yourself up? said no. I then saw him put hi, hand by his side. I collared ',int, we were hall standing up at this time. He made a great runny stabs : 'I struck him with my staff. I thought he was stabbing me with a knife. Ile stabbed me twice on the chin. He afterwards took hold of my st 4. Prisoner then cut my hand. We then fell, and I made two blows at the prisoner. I threw him on the ground on the right side : and I tried to get the knife. I afterwards struck the prisoner's hand w i t h my staff, and got possession of the knite.—(The knife was here pro duced and presented a very formid a bl e appearance. )— We were both of us q uite exhausted. I said to the pri saner, '` How are you?" He said, " Give me some water." I said some o ne will be here directly. After with the p r i soner s t ruc k th e produced.

Other evidence was produced, leaving no doubt as to the guilt of the prisoner, and The jury, without a moment's hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty. His LOIMSIIIP, on sentencing the prisoner, said—l have some doubt whether you are not a person who should have been hanged. I have no hesitation in be lieving that you would have murdered the prosecutor. Sentence—Transportation for life. The COURT, in ad lressing, Banning, said,—" Your conduct has been commended by the grand jury, and must be by everybody who has heard it. You have shown yourself a very gallant officer ; and I hope the reward I give you will not be all you will receive, and that you will get on in your profession. Under all the circumstances, the sum I feel warranted in awarding you is 201." Louisa Ferris, 29, was indicted for the wilful murder of Patrick White, at St. Philip and Jacob, in the city and county of Bristol, on the Ist of November last. Mr. Skinner and Mr. Huddleston prosecuted, and Mr. Keating defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased (White) was a policeman, and cohabited with the pri soner, who is a married woman, but was separated from her husband. Thee resided at a house in Lyon-street, Bristol, in which also lived a young woman named Eliza beth. Jones, of whom it would seem th e prisoner was jealous, and under the influence of that nassion she com mitted the awtul crime which placed her at the dock to day. It seemed that on Sunday, Nov. 1. in the afternoon, a air. Edwards, Mrs. Ferris's brother, with a friend named Sainsbury, called at the house, and went into the back parlour, where they had some be , r and rum, which they sent out fur. White was there in his trou sers, shirt, and slippers, smoking a pipe. Jones wen up stairs and lay down on the bed. Soon after White went out, and followed her up stairs, as it would seem. Mrs. Ferris also left the room, and in a tew minutes re turned in a very excited state. White then cam- in, and recommenced smoking his pipe. He had no neckerchief on. The prisoner went into the kitchen and then came towards deceased, she put her arm round his neck, and the witness thought she was whispering to him. Imme diately afterwards they heard a groaning, and on look ing in the direction they saw White bleeding profusely from the neck, and the prisoner holding her hand down by her side. She went up stairs and met Jones. She caught hold of her and blooded her dress with her hand, saying, "I have a great mind to serve you the E same." She then said to her brother Edwards, "Jew,drive me to the station." He put her in his fly , whi ch was at the door, and did so. The unfortunate deceased crawled into the street on his hands and knees, and said the prisoner had cut his throat. The people sent for a doctor. White said, It is no use, lam dying, pray . for me." In a few minutes he was a corpse, and on going into the room they fou n d a p o ol of blood, with a broken pipe in it, and a razor on the table. These were the facts of the case. The jury found th e pr i sone r Guilty of manslaughter , and The Judge sentenced her to be transported for life. On hearing the sentence her feeling of maternal anxiety seemed to overcome a ll other considerations, as with clasped hands s h e convu l s ively exclaimed , " Oh , my Lord, mercy, for th e sa k e o f my poor children—don't banish me from them." NORTII WALLS CI RClllT.—Chester, April 7. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WtouTmAN.) John Duckett, 33, was indicted for stabbing his wife, Ann Duckett, with intent to m urder her, on the 2d of January, at Middlewich. Mr. Trafford and Mr. Egerton were counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Temple for the defence. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner is a boatman, and he and his wife had lived for some time on very ary last, there was a dance at the R ose and Crown, unhappy terms. On t he 2d of Janu in Middlewich, which was attende d b y both the prisoner and his wife, they not havin g p reviousl y seen each other for nearly a fortnight. The prisoner seeing his wife in the room, went up to a person in the room and requested him two or three times to lend him a knife, which was refused. The prisoner, however, went out of the room to the shop of a Mr. Wise, where he purchased a large pocket-knife, and then returned. Some one called fur a dance, and the prose • cutrix got up amongst others for the purpose of dancing. Whilst standing up speaking to the fiddlt r, the prisoner went up to his wife, put his arm round her neck, and in ioted three stabs in her throat. Me was immediate►y apprehended in the room with the bloody knife in his hand. Mr. Johnson, surgeon, of Middlewich, was called in to see the prosecutrix the same evening, and he then found that one of the stabs had penetrated the windpipe and gullet. From this wound the air from the lungs and a portion of the contents of the stomach were escap ing when seen by Mr. Johnson. Mr. TEMPLE addressed the jury with the view of re duein the offence, on the ground of the jealousy with which it was supposed the prisoner regarded his wife's conduct. The jury found the prisoner guilty of the capital offence, and judgment of death was ordered to be re corded against him, the Learned Jude intimating that the least punishment he could expect was transportation for life. - - -------- POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH STREET. James Richard Smythe, a person bearing the appear ance of a gentleman, was brought up to-day, charged with annoying the persons riding out in Hyde-park. Inspector B , cket sou, of the A division, said a complisir had been loclg ( d at Scotland•yard on Thursday ru , rning that a gentleman had been annoying, for near a month past, the ladies and gentlemen riding out in the park, in consequ.nce of which he went there about five on Thurs , ley afternoon to observe what pissed. The de fendant wan pointed out to him as the person complained of; he leant on the rail by the side of the S,r. entine, Ouse to the carriage -way, and as the carriages passed he thrust at the carriage windows with his cane. In one of the carriages witness Sal , ' a lady fall back, as if wincing tram the cane, but the defendant on that spat at the car riage and ,ware "Go on you b—." lie c,altint.ed this conduct from a quaver pa-r five till six o'cl-ek, making a rude noise, when witness took him into custAy. Mr. EIARDWICK—WhO is the defendant ; is there any thing known of him ? The defendant—l deny tucking any thrust at any carriage whatever. It is true, I had a eine in my haud, *JO was twirling it, as is my custom often in the street, but I hid no wish or intent to annoy any one. I deny having used coarbe language to any lady at all. I would not do such a thing. Mr. IlanDwren—Who and what are you ?—The de fendant—l am a physici a n in S ac k v ill e street, where I have b en for the last ten years. Mr. HARDWICK—Are there none of your friends here ?—The defendant informed the Court that he h .d been bailed out by his brother, who was immediately sent for. After the magistrate had seen the defendant's friends in private, he was told it was the wish of his friends that he should again go into the country, and the Court gave him the option of c , mplying, or of finding sureties, himself in CM, and two householders in 201. each, for his good behaviour for the next three months. Mr. Hardwick added, that if anything was wrong with his mind, the public could not put up with any such an noy ance. The defendant said his mind was sound enough; he had annoyed no one, and it was a great hardship to be taken away from his duties or his recreation by a police man, and locked tip for two hours. That was punish ment before trial. He could not go to the country; his ditties required his attendance in town; he supported himself by his writings, and he had a work in hand at that moment. Mr. HARDWICK ultimately fined him 40s. fur the use of bad language to passengers, and said, for the next , Jffence he would be required to find substantial security for his good behaviour for the next six months. The defendant then left the court. SOU! H WARE. 'William Amos, a fashionably attired man, was charged with committing a violent assault on Sarah Ann Harris, whose countenance exhibited proofs of the brutality exercised towards her. The prisoner had formerly lived with the complainant, who was compelled to leave him owing to ill usage. Irritated at her having quitted him, he committed a violent assault on her, for which he was sentenced to imprisonment. He had recently been liberated from gaol, and meeting with the complainant in an unfre quented place on the preceding night, he struck her with great force in the face, knocked her down, kicked and beat her in a sham( ful mariner, and swore he would be hung for her. He was taken into custody on the spot. Mr. SECICER inflicted the full penalty of 51. on the prisoner, and ordered him to find ample bail for his fu ture good behaviour. APRIL 10, 184. POISONING IN NORFOLK. ATTLEBURGH, THURSDAY NIGHT.—The investigation opened by Mr. Pilgrim, the Norfolk Coroner, on the 30th ult., respecting the deaths of Mrs. Mary Pearson, aged 50, and Mrs. Elizabeth Everett, aged 56, who were poisoned by means of arsenic being secreted in tee pro visions which they partook 4.f, was resumed this morn ing, at ten o'clock, at the Greyhound Inn, Tibbeuham, a village eight miles distant. The deceased, who were sisters by marriage, were the wives of very much respected yeomen Lvieg in the vici nity of Tibbenharn. The evidence at the previous in quiry showed that on Sunday morning, the 28th ult,, Mrs. Pearson was takingsher breakfast with her husband, when she was seized with her fatal sickness. She to, - 41i two cups of tea, and two or three mouthaful or bread and butter, when she was taken sick. She sent for Mrs. Everett to attend her. On her arriving, she was invited to breakfast, and had some of the tea, when she was also seized with sickness. It violently increased, and at twelve o'clock on the same day Mrs. Pearson d ed, and at four o'clock Mrs. Everett followed her. The investi gation was then adjourned, fora post modem examination of the bodies to be made. The deceased ladies being much esteemed in the neighbourhoo i, their mysterious demise naturally produced a west painful sensation. The jury being duly assembled this morning, James Warren, an intelligent lsd, azed eighteen, was the first witness examined.—l have been a servant to Mr. Joseph Pearson, the husband of the deceased, since last Michaelmas twelvemonths. I have been in the habit of taking my meals in the same room as Mr. and Mrs. Pearson, only at another table. At dinner we sometimes dined at the same table, and partook of the same food. 1 recollect my master and mistress breakfasting on the 28th of March. Me and Eliza Sage, the servant, were at another table. I had a basin of milk and some bread and cheese for my breakfast that morning. Eliza Sage had none. Ido not know why. I cannot say if my master had tea that morning. lie always bad beer, and sometimes I have seen him take tea. CoaosEa—Do you know the reason why E:iza, Sage did not take breakfast that morning? Witness—No, I do not, Sir. She often not took breakfast, and some times supper. CORONER—Who was in the habit of coining to your house? Witness—Mrs. Everett and her danghter. The other members of the family used also to visit my mistress. lu answer to the jury, the lad stated that he thought every person in the parish believed the deceased were poisoned. Did not know what Eliza Sage and John Everett thought. Had seen the latter speaking together. Still did not recollect who had talked to him about the deceased being poisoned. Could not say when Juhn Everett had called at the house—whether it was a month or a day. By the CORONER—I n9ver recollect filling the kettle. Had brought the water from the pit by the side of the road. It is a running stream. Sage used to fill the kettle. Sage told me after the death of my mistress, that she put the water in the kettle on the Sunday morning. Did not know when she told him, or where he was. On Sunday last, on going home, he was asked if the deceased were poisoned. Could not read or write. Had been to a Sunday school for two or three days. The CORONER ordered him into the care of the police. Eliza Sage, the servant, was next culled. She stated I was servant to Mrs. Pearson. Up to the Sunday of her death she was in good health. On that morning I filled the kettle for breakfast. I filled it from a pad. Toe kettle was in the copper. hole. On the previous (Saturday) night, Mr. and Mrs. Pearson had tea, and on that occasion I filled the kettle. I got the water from a pit that is supplied by a running stream. I took the water from a pail in a cup to fill the kettle. It was the same water as was used on the following morning, There was some left iu tin kettle on Saturday night atter tea, and which remained ail night. I did not throw it out when I filled it on Sunday morning. Ido not take t a of a morning, nor did I take any on Saturday night. CORONER—If poison had been found in the tea-kettle, can you form any opinion as to how it got there ? Witness—l cannot. Sir. She was a good mistress to me, and lam very sorry if that is the case. The water remained in the test-kettle on Sunday morning. The doctor took it away. I filled a bottle with the water from the kettle on the same morning, to warm my rills tress'', feet. I put the kettle in the copper-hole in the back house on Saturday night. I placed it on the fire on Sunday morning, before I went milking. I have not had any conversat►on with John Everett since the death of my mistress. My master had not mentioned to me anything about poison being in the kettle. When I first went into my mistress's service, we hr.(' some angry words, but not lately. On the Thursday before her death, my mistress took me up into her room, and showed me some mice holes in a closet. She put some poison in the hole ;it wai mixed up in something in a basin. I swept out the closet, and some pieces of poison were amongst the dust, which she threw on the fire, and there was no vessel on the fire when she threw it on the fire. The kettle was not near it. O❑ the Sunday night Mrs. John Pearson, a sister of the deceased, called at the house, and directed me to fetch another tea-kettle for tea, as she was afraid to drink out of the one that had previously been in use. She was afraid to have tea made in it. The medical gentleman had the kettle which boiled the water on Sunday morning. A wrong one was given them at first, but the mistake was rectified, and the right one entrusted them. Af . er medical evidence, Mr. Joseph Pearson, the husband of the deco:seri, was called in, and, after the usual caution from the Coroner, detailed a great many hearsay stories, which could not be rece-ived in evidence. He, however, stated chat niece of his, Hannah Everett, who lived at Norwich, was at his house yesterday, and while looking Over a bureau he was informed that she found a piece of paper marked pison, which contained a white powder, and which she threw into the fire. The CORONER said she should be summoned to give evidence of what Pearson had stated with reference to the paper marked poison. There was no doubt that the poison had been wilfully administered to the deceased, and, therefore, they were bound to institute the most searching inquiry. At five o'clock tbo proceedings were accordingly ad journed. LONGEVITY AT Fettswoarll.—There are at present living at Wrigley Head, Failswortb, three brothers and a sister, whose uuitud ages aniotuit to 311 years. 7 - - MARKET NEWS.-(Y ESTERDAY. CORN-EXCHANGE. We have to report the arrival of a very moderate supply of English Wheat during the present week, and the stands were scantily filled with saw Wes of both red and white. Owing to the thin attt ndance of buyers, the demand for all descriptions was in a sluggish state, at unaltered quotations. Exceedingly little business was doing in Foreign Wheats, yet the holders refused to accept lower pricer. Most of the late large arrivals of Foreign Barley having been cleared off, the trade was steady, at late rates. There was rather more doing in Malt, and most of the factors reused to sell, except at a triflo more money. Oats, Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were exceedingly dull, but not cheaper.
