.y FLANDERS MAIL. FEARFUL ASSASSINATIONS AT PLACE ST. GERY. • BatrssnLs, SEPT. 4.—A most atrocious number of isteassinations was committed yesterday at the resi dence of M. Evenepool. The sister of that gentleman and two female servants were in the house. The scan-servant, coming home soon after nine o'clock, was surprised to find the door open, and going into the ball, found the two servants, terribly mutilated and covered with blood, lying in a corner. He in stantly gave the alarm, and, accompanied by the police, rapidly followed the course of the traces of blood, when, on arriving at the room of Mademoiselle Evenepool, an old lady fifty years of age, they found her assassinated with the utmost cruelty, lying on a bench. The most minute investigation has been made. It is evident that the murd erers must have had per fect knowledge of the interior of the house. M. Evenepool was at the theatre when this tragic occur rence took place. No trace has yet been discovered of the murderers, but it is supposed that they got in by the garden, and then entered the house by means of false keys. The object of the assassins was t o possess themselves of Mademoiselle Evenepool's jewels, which they succee ded in taking, and likewise some money. It is quite impossible to conceive the emotion which this terrible affair has caused. The house is , now surrounded by gendarmes, and every exertion is being made by the magistrates and police to find out the assassins. The man-servant, after a l on g investigation, has been set at liberty. The lovers of the two young women are being strictly guarded. A former coachman has also been arrested. The marks of footsteps traced from the blood about the house have likewise been measured. The property con sisted of gold watches, brooches set in brilliants, &c., gold chains, jewellery, fourteen pieces of 3 florins of the Netherlands, and other money, and some English coin; minute descriptions have been sent to all the pawnbrokers. The bodies of the three unhappy victims are to be officially examined this evening by MM. Jolly and De Roubaix.

G. with the drugs is said to have been wrested.—Flanders papers , Sept. 5. B RAB ANT, AUG. 13.—Our seed wasp articularly fine in the spring ; subsequently it suffered from drought, so that, towards the boundaries of Moldavia, it threatened to be almost destroyed, as likewise did the grass, but the rains which fell afterwards both here and in Wallachia, quite renewed the face of the earth. On the whole, however, the harvest is bat middling. Although we have a great demand for exportation, we have still a large supply of our old stock on hand, so that we can still continue to supply our neighbours; but it is to be hoped that Western Europe will not want our help much longer. The maize, which is our chief, is admirable. In Moldavia, where the rain was not so copious, things have not turned out so well as here, especially as that place, as well as Bess arabia and Eastern Wallachia, have suffered from the locusts, immense flights of which devastate the coun try for miles round, and may, perhaps, continue their ravages fir some years, which is generally the case. The banks of the Peuth have suffered exces sively from them. Every possible experiment is made to effect their destruction, but hitherto quite without effect. Potatoes are not our staple food, and are planted only by way of exception ; the blight from which they suffered last year has hitherto not made its ap pearance. Dr. Gagee, a large landed proprietor, had planted a field with them, which he found diseased at the time of the crop, but in one portion of the field where he had planted cucumbers between the potatoes, the latter was scarcely visible among the luxuriant leaves which covered mem in ; he was surprised to find the potatoes perfectly fine. This is an isolated fact which deserves attention, and we may mention that it is a matter of observation that when the pota• toes are planted sparingly among other vegetable, they have thriven. .1 hus a farmer in Ba len .tates that all his potatoes hay.• been fine, which he attri butes to the circumstance that with every seed of potato he put in two pew, which have grown up with the potatoes, and now yield a second crop. — Flanders Mail, Sept. 5.

The county coroner held an inquest on Saturday, at Blanchardstown, upon the body of a man named Matthew Nugent, who committed suicide on the previous day by cutting his throat with a razor. The jury, after examining two or three witnesses, found a verdict of " Temporary insanity."

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 6. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) IN RE G. DUPLACE. This bankrupt, a tea dealer, of Regent's-place, Westminster, came up to pass his last examination, which was adjourned for further inquiry. The debts are about 9001. and assets 5001. IN RE lIOEACE W. METETARD. This insolvent, who was a barrister-at-law, but now a prisoner in the county gaol of Stafford, applied for his discharge from custody and interim order. It appeared by the schedule that there were no less than seventy creditors, being principally railway companies and solicitors. His debts and liabilities amount to 76,524/. 155., including a liability of 1,9601. to John Owen, solicitor, for profe-sional charges. He (insolvent) was liable for this as pro prietor and director of the Burton-upon-Trent, Staf ford, Shrewsbury, and Newton Railway, being a provisional committeeman, together with several baronets, honourables, colonels, majors, and reverend gentlemen. Sir John Rennie and Mr. Remington were also creditors for 5,179/. To meet this amount of debts the assets amounted to 1,423/., stated to be due by solicitors to railway schemes. His receipts for the last six months amounted to 5531., including a sum of 251. as the produce of the sale of fifty Madrid and Valencia Railway shares. No opposition was offered, and the interim order and discharge were granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIO.N-HO USE. George Haywood and William Alexander, were brought before the Lord Mayor in the custody of Daniel Forrester, the officer, charged with having forged cheques upon banking-houses. Messrs. Bush and Mullens, the solicitors to the Committee of Bankers for Protection against Forgery and Frauds, attended for the prosecution. The prisoners are very young men. The case which most particularly involved the prisoners as con federates was the following : Mr. William Thomas, cashier at Glyn and Co.'s banking-house, stated that Mr. John Fenton, of Fenchurch-street, wine merchant, kept a cash account at the house. Upon reference to the book witness found that on the 19th of June he paid a cheque, of which the following is a copy : " To Messrs. Glyn and Co. "Pay Beresford and Co. 1471. "JOHN FENTON." He paid it to a youth, but could not recognise him. Mr. Fenton, wine merchant, of Mark-lane, Fen= church-street, said that the cheque was not his, nor authorised by him. He had produced a letter which he bad received, signed Charles Smith, No. 7, Worm wood-street, on the 15th of June, requesting to be informed at what time the Henrietta arrived from Madeira. He wrote an answer to that letter directed to Wormwood-street. He did not know any of the prisoners. Thomas Crafford, the keeper of the coffee-house, No. 7, Wormwood-street, stated that he knew Hay wood about twelve months, as a customer. About May last, as he believed, a letter directed to Charles Smith was left at his house. A few days previously Haywood asked him to allow a letter to be addressed to him at the house, and mentioned the name of Charles Smith, from which circumstance witness believed that to be the name of his customer. Per mission was given, and the letter accordingly arrived, and was received by Haywood. Mrs. Susannah L. Herbert, the wife of a tailor in Boswell court, Devonshire-street. Queen-square, stated that in July last, she wished to let the shop. The prisoner, Alexander, called twice upon the sub ject, agreed to take the shop, and to leave 81. as a deposit He produced a 501. note, which her hus band got changed by a Mrs. Coburn, of New North street, Red Lion-square, and she gave the change to Alexander. Witness identified her name on the 501. note which was produced. Mrs. Coburn also identified the note, her husband having written his name upon it. After the change had been given, her husband went over to Herbert's house, where Alexander was, and asked for his address, and he wrote the following upon a piece of paper :—" W. Hammond, 6, Baldwin-street, City road." Witness gave the address afterwards to Daniel Forrester. Mr. Binh said the note alluded to was paid for the cheque purporting to be Mr. Fenton's. Mr. R. J. Sykes, clerk in the issue department of the Bank of England, stated that on the 19th June he changed the 501. note, numbered 84,837, and dated 6th Jan. 1847, for fifty sovereigns, for a youth, at about five o'clock. It was the last payment he made that day. Mr. James P. Melbourne, cashier at Messrs. Glyn and Co.'s banking house, stated that he gave the cheque-book produced to a person who came with a written order, purporting to come fr ,m Mr. Fenton. The cheque produced (the forgery) was taken out of that book. The ord , r was, he believed, destroyed. Here the witness said, the youth who called with the order for the cheque-book was very like a boy named John Constable, alio was pointed out to him in the justice-room, and who was supposed to be in some measure connected with the transaction. Con stable was call boy at the Pavilion t'heatre. The witness added that the boy said, upon apply ing for the cheque-book, that he came from Mr. Fen ton's clerk, whom he had seen twice on that day. The LORD MAYOR—Can you swear that he is the boy Witness—He is very similar, but I cannot swear that he is the person. King, a metropolitan constable, stated, that on the miming of the 16th July he found the cheque book alluded to by the last v.itness in the middle of Crispin-street, Spitalfields, at about a quarter to two in the morning. Mr. Bush-1 will call Daniel Forrester to show who the boy Constable is. Daniel Forrester said he apprehended Haywood in conpany with Constable, whom he knew to be call boy at the Pavilion Theatre. He bad seen them constantly walking and talking together for some time. Mr. Bush said it was his intention to put Constable either in the witness-box to state what he knew about the transaction, or at the bar, to answer as a particeps After some consultation, it was determined that Constable should be placed at the bar. Thomas Capes, the son of a sadler, in Whitecbapel road, said he knew Constable quite well for about two years and a half. Lately he had been call-boy at the Pavilion Theatre. Had seen the call-boy and Haywood together day after day, and night after night, and he had frequently seen the three of them together. In the presence of Alexander, witness made use of Forrester's name, and Heywood called upon him on the same night, and expressed some apprehensions with regard to that officer, at the same time intimating that witness had had some communi cation with Forrester relative to himself. When the witness denied that he had seen the officer, Haywood said to him, "If the question is put to you whether you have seen me with a gold watch and chain, and a large sum of money, be sure you say no. Say you have only seen me with a few shillings." Haywood also said that he was in a mess, and he did not know how to get out of it ; and when witness asked him what it was about, declared that he would rather be asked for Si. than tell. Alexander then came up and spoke to Haywood, and they went away together, and as they were going, Haywood said to witness, 44 Be sure and don't say a word, or I'll be lost for ever." Daniel Forrester then produced a piece of brown blotting. piper in evidence. It was considered to he a very singular doniment in a case of forgery. The officer said, that u p on g ' l og to Haywood's lodgings he exa mined the papers of that prisoner. He found amongst them a piece of blotting -paper, which, upon examin ing closely, he found to contain the " blot" of the name or " John Fenton," corresponding with the forged name upon the cheque. The prisoners Haywood and Alexander were or clef ed to he brought up again on Wednesday week. The security tit the father of Constable, the call boy, was taken for the appearance of that individual on the next day of examination, Mr. Bush havin g strongly urged the necessity of th e boy's presence on the occasion. The other case of forgery referred to Hay wooil alone as far as the evidence went. The charge was that Haywood had forged a cheque ter 891. 4s. upon the banking-house of Jones Loyd arid Co., purporting to be diawn by Thomas and James Murray. Mr. John Hale, cashier in the banking-house, said that on the 22(1 of March he paid the cheque pro duced in a note for 501., No. 54,509, dated Bth Oc tober, 184 G, and the remainder in cash.—[Here the witness mentioned some particulars about the cheque.] atfention was afterwards called to a memorau d ro relatin g t o a new c h eque -b oo k , w hi c h ap p ear ed to he an application from Mr. T.

Tewsl e y, also a cashier at Jones Loyd and Co 's b an king-house, to the produced the register of the cheque- book s distributed customers of the house. Mr. T. Pelle k e pt cash at the house. On the 20th of March witness received an order for a cheque-book for Mr. Pell e , w hi c h was accordingly given, and the forged cheque for 891. 4s. was the numbers of the cheques in that b oo k. one of Mr. J. Murray, of the firm of T. and J. Murray, of Copthall-court, merchants, stated that on and pre viously to last March, they kept cash at Jones Loyd's banking-house. The signature to the cheque was neither witness's nor his brother's, nor authorised by either of them, and they never applied fur a cheque book in the name of Mr. Peile. Mr. T. Kennion, clerk to Messrs. Pattison and Son, solicitors., Old Broadeistreet, stated that in March last liglYWoW WAS in tba urvi,:o of 1143 , :b gsziz.w Haywood's handwriting, and believed the figures and date in the cheque to be the prisoner's. Mr. Pattison and Mr. Peile were formerly partners, and Haywood might have had access to papers in which the signa ture of Mr. Peile appeared. Other witnesses spoke to the resemblance between Haywood's figures and the figures in the cheque. The forgery of Mr. Peile's name was proved. Thomas Capes said he knew Haywood well for the last four or five months. About April he saw an ad vertisement by the prisoner, relating to a partnership, about 401. or 601. was required by him. In June the prisoner and witness went to the Isle of Wight. The prisoner then had about 701. in his po,.session, which, he said, had been given to him by his grandfather, and he spent about 101. of it upon that occasion, hav ing paid partly for the witness. Witness had seen him write about three times, and firmly believed that the writing in the cheque and memorandum was the prisoner's, and also that the writing upon the 501. note was the prisoner's. The case was then remanded to Wednesday week, when it will undergo investigation after the case so fully detailed. assaulted the complainant. If he could show no suffi cient justification then he must be cornmitte.d to take his trial at the sessions. He could not be permitted to make a statement which might be false against the complainant, and which had nothing whatever to do with the assault. The defendant had no defence to make. Mr. BINGHAM said, under the circumstances of the charge, he should call on the defendant to put in what might be called heavy bail for a person in his station. He should require him to find two sureties for his ap pearance in 1001. each, and himself in 2001. The defendant is the same person who was conspi cuous in a recent case in which Mr. Protheroe, M.P., was concerned the boards into the court, the air was tainted all over the neighbourhood, and the locality was as offensive to the eye as it was to the smell. Some of the filth had begi=n removed since the service of the summons on Friday; hut the nuisance was still so great that it was pre-judicial to the public health; and he would put in two certificates from Mr. Anningson and Mr. Liddle, two qualified medical practitioners, to that effect. Under those circumstances, the trustees had directed him to ask for an order to compel the defendant to abate the nuisance, to cleanse the place, and to purify it by lime washing. Mr. Smith added, that Mr. Baker, the Coroner for M.d , dlesex, had made very strong representations relating to the evil, in consequence of the numerous inquests he had held on persons who had died of fever in the vicinity. Mr. YARDLEY said he knew that Mr. Baker had tno- t properly interfered in the case, and expressed an opinion, that if he (the Magistrate) merely ordered the cesspool to be cleansed, purified, and whitewashed, according to the terms of a clause in the Act, that would not effect the object sought for. He might order the removal or abatement of the nuisance. Mr. Smith said a new place ought to be erected and properly covered over. The cr.vners of the tene tnents had the opportunity of communicating with the common sewer, which is only a few yards from the cesspool. The detendant—That shall be done, air. Mr. YARDLEY-If you don't do it you will sub ject yourself to an immense expense, for the parish officers can call upon me for an order every week, and you will have to pay the costs. The medical certificates, describing the nuisance to be very prejudicial to the public' health, having been put in, Mr. John Liddle, surgeon, and one of the medical officers of the Whitechapel Unic', said the locality of Hayes-court was densely populated by the poorer classes, and the smell from the foul cesspool was highly offensive that morning, and detrimental to the health of the neighbourhood. He had attended several fever patients in the court, and the deaths had been nume rous. '1 he foul cesspool was close to one of the houses in Hayes-court, and the staircase formed a shaft to direct the effluvia into the rooms up stairs. Nothing short of the entire removal of the cesspool would ever cure the evil. The defendant said the house mentioned by Mr. 'Addle did not belong to him. Mr. YARDLEY said that was an additional reason why the abominable nuisance should be removed. The defendant said, the cesspool belonging to him was not the sole cause of the fever and deaths in the neighbourhood. Mr. Smith said, there were others adjoining, but they were in comparatively a decent state - . The defendant said, when a drain was made to communicate with the sewers, there would be no fur- ther cause of complaint. Mr. Liddle--Providing there is plenty of water to carry off the soil. There should be waterclosets pro perly fitted up in every house, with water tanks over them. The expense is very trifling, and the advan tages great. Mr. YARDLEY—I must prevent a .. recurrence of such a dreadful :state of things. I shall make an order for the cleansing of the cesspool ; and, if it is not done immediately, it will be effected by the parish, at the defendant's expense, and I shall then make an order for its removal altogether. The defendant asked if he was to suffer for the other owners ? Mr. YARDLEY—Each of you are liable under the Act of Parliament. I recommend you all to join and pay the expenses among you. If you do not, the parish officers may take out a summons, and in clude every owner in it. Sandy Smith, aged 19, rated as an ordinary seaman on board the Lady Flora, East Indiaman, iust ar rived from the East Indies, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with feloniously wounding XVilliam Ewart, able seaman, with.intent to do him grievous bodily harm. The prosecutor, a tall, able seaman, who, in con sequence of great loss of blood, was in an exceed ingly weak state, deposed that on Saturday night, after landing troops, the ship was moored off Graves end, and he turned into his hammock and .soon fell asleep. He was roused up by a great noise in the forecastle, and found it was caused by the prisoner, who was making a disturbance. lie told him to be quiet, and he refused to do so. Witness got out of his hammock, slapped the prisoner's face, and hove him down on his chest. The prisoner got up again, and made more noise than ever, and acted like a madman. He gave him another ;lap on the side of the head, and hove him on his chest a second time, and begged of him to be quiet. The prisoner got up, made a butt at him with his head, which he forced into his chest, and at the same time stabbed witness in the groin. He felt the blood running down his legs, and he called out to the crew to put the prisoner in irons. Mr. Hurst, a Custom-house officer, was on the deck of the Lady Flora on Saturday night, and heard a disturbance below. He was informed a man was stabbed, and he went below and took a large clasp knife, suspended to a piece of string from the pri soner. There .vas blood upon it and it was warm. The knife is a formidable weapon, the blade of which was stained with blood to the depth of two ' inches. The MAGISTRATE asked if all the crew wore such knives, and he was answered in the affirmative. They wore them constantly while at work. Mr. William Baits; urgeon of Brunswick-street, ' Poplar, stated that he was first called upon to see the prosecutor on Sunday morning. The wound, which had been already dressed, was an inch and half in length, and inflicted in a very dangerous place. Its depth he could not ascertain. It might prove very serious. The haemorrhage had been very great. The prisoner, who is a mild looking young man, a native of Scotland, seemed to be much cast down. He said he really did not know what he was about. Mr. YARDLEY—This is a very bad case. I must send you for trial to Maidstone for felonious stabbing your shipmate. Joseph Painter, late carman to Mr. Lewis Woolf, wholestOe potter, igh-street, Wapping, was brought up on remand, charged with embezzling various sums of money he had received for and account of his master. The prisoner had been in the employ of Mr. Woolf for thirteen years, and during that time he had for given hi:n no fewer than eighteen times. On Tues day, the 24th of August, Mr. Woolf sent the prisoner Out with his horse and cart with goods for three dif ferent customers. The prisoner never returned, but, four days afterwards, Mr. Woolf received from him a Post-office order for 21. A police-constable, named ?otter, 212 IC, was then employed to apprehend the prisoner, and he traced him from Rochester, where he posted the letter, to Strood fair, thence to Gravesend, and afterwards to London, where he took him into custody. Three tradesmen, named Conway, Elliott, and Martin deposed to paying over to the prisoner the respective sums of 51. 3s. Bd., 41. 195., and 21., on the 24th and 25th of August. The prisoner had nut accounted to his master for either of these sums, as he ought to have done, and, with the exception of 2/. sent from Rochester, and 1/. paid by the prisoner's wife, he had squandered the rest away. Mr. YARDLEY committed. the prisoner for trial. OPENING OF THE EREWASH VALLEY RAILWAY.-- This aretbrttshhheirae,ne)lee:a.tlgiheutrQliert l n7asrii hunters su n ftne: e - w e are informed, next.

Many months ago, I was walking in the street with a literary man of some distinction; a spl,ndid English equipage dashed past us, and I observed, " There goes the Duke of --.--," " 130 . 11" cried the Frenchman, " what do I care for your dukes!" A few minuses after, we met a plainly dressed gentleman,' with an umbrella under his arm, and a book in his hand, trudging along in the mud, with hoots and dress by no means calculated to look well in the boudoir of . a duchess. " Ther e ' s Macaulay." said I. " Macaulay ! echoed the Frenchman,"" All 1 lets have a good look at him!" And to get a good look at the brilliant writer, s and great Parliament orator, the Frenc h man walked a near rearmees him as possible as s possible an6vg fer about five ar EXPLOSION AT NEWARK. .NE WA lIK, Moe nee-. On Saturday last an inquest was held in this borouo, by Mr. Burnaby, coroner, on the belies of George Fox, Timothy Hervey, and Willi em Otter, who died on the preceding day, in consequence of injuries received from an explosion which took place at Mr. Hervey's steam corn-mill on Thursday. William Marriott, of Newark-upon-Trent, said— I am in the employ of Mr. James Hervey, who has lately been erecting a steam-mill at his wind mill at the Spitals, in this town. Thursday last, the 2,1 of September, was the first day of the Lew engine being tried tor grinding. Two men, in the employ of the engineere, Messrs. Carter mid harton, ef Gains borough, came to see the engine tried; also the de ceased l'itnothy Hervey, a nephew of Mr. James Hervey. About three o'clock in the afternoen Thursdev the two men, a hese names were W. Otter and G. l'ox, were with the deceased Hervey in the engine-house getting something to eat; the engine was not then working, it had been stopped a sew minutes. I and my mister had just lel the engine house, arid I was standing near the fireplace outside, as was Mr. Wharton. lle was trying what pressure of steam there was on, and I was asking him whether there was enough to grind the stones, and he sail " No." The index was at 25, when suddenly I heard a noise like a cannon and a quantity of steam came out of the fireplace. I could scarcely see for steam. The door of the engine -house, which opens from the outside, was forced to by the steam, and it was made fast by the giving way of the brickwork, and shut the deceased Hervey, Otter, and Fox in the engine house. In two or three minutes the door was burst open, and they were got out. They were all then alive and sensible, but most dreadfully scalded. I helped to carry Hervey to my master's house. He said to me, " I shall die ; my inside is scalded." Tbe engine had been working in grinding corn on Thurs day for a about an hour before the accident happened, and hail been at about the same degree of pressure that it was when the accident happened. It was an engine of 10• horse power. About twenty minutes before the accident happened I saw one of the de ceased trying the water taps, and he said all was right. The boiler door was shut at the time. James Hervey, of Newark-upon-Treat, said—l have lately been erecting a steam-engine at my wind mill, at the Spitals, in this town. The engine was furnished by Messrs. Carter and Wharton, of Gains borough. It was to be of 10-horse power. I had told them that I wanted to work two pair of stones and a machine. The price was to be 3001., including the making of the engine -house, and they were to keep it in order fur a twelvemonth. We commenced working the engine for the purposes of the mill, with one pair of stones, on Thursday last. Messrs. Carter and Wharton, with two of their men, were at the ee gine all the day whilst it was working. I went down to the mill about two o'clock, and found Messrs. Carter and Wharton and their two men, with my nephew, there. The engine was then at work, and the mill grinding. I heard a remark that there was something wrong with the pump, and the engine was stopped. At this time the three deceased, Messrs. Carter and Wharton, and myself were in the engine-house. The two men of Messrs. Carter and Wharton were takine some refreshment, and my nephew was looking on. I and Messrs. Carter and Wharton came out and steed near the fire-place out side. The engine-house door was wile open. I age looking at the boiler, and whilst I was looking it seemed to rue that the front of the boiler gave way. I was just pointing out to 'Messrs. Carter and IN-har ton that I thought seinethieg was g.ing wrong, and an explo-ion instantly took place. I heard the door of the engine-house !sang to, and after some difficulty it was forced open, and one of the men •an out. I saw my nephew brought out. They all seems das it they lied been in boiling water, and were dreadfully scalded ; they were alive and sensible. My nephew was taken to my house, and lived until about five the billowing morning, when he died. Jo,eph Hughes, of the town of NottinOarn. engi. neer, said yesterday afterneon carefully examined the steam-engine and boiler at the mill of Mr. Jaques Hervey, in this town. I leive had considerable ex perience fur many years in the making and working of stea n • engines. 1 found a fracture thirteen inches long and two inches wide in the flue. The flue plates were collapsed from end to end. There were several other small fractures, ull caused by the g ving way or one plate. The fracture was long enough to cause a very large escape of steam. The plate which gave way was defective in the material of which it was composed. The external appearance of the plate is very good, but by the fracture it is now plainly to be seen that the material is bad. There are very few instances of engineers making their own plates; it is generally a distinct business. It would be almost impossible to detect a defective plate, except by proving the boiler, which is seldom done by engineers. I have not measured the boiler, but from the appearance I should think it is large enough for an engine of 10 horse power. I have no doubt whatever that the accident was caused by the giving way of the plate in question. If the plate in question had been good, I should not have hesitated to have worked the engine from 401 b. to 451 b. to the inch. 1 don't think that the accident happened from under supply of water ; if that had been the case the plate would have been discoloured, which is nut the case. John Bullock, of Costock, in the county of Not tingham, steam-boiler manufacturer, said—l have examined the boiler of the engine of Mr. J. Hervey's mill, in this town. I found a fracture in the plate farthest from the fire. It was fractured very short ; the material was bad and defective. There is nothing in the external appearance of the plate which would make me suppose it to be defective. After examining the plate it seems to me there must have been a greater pressure than 251 b. at the time the explosion took place. I think the boiler ought to have been able to have borne the pressure of 501 b., but the plate in question would not have borne such a pressure. The manufacture of steam-boilers is generally a distinct business from that of the manufacture of steam engines. I always test my boilers before they are used; but I think a--great .many manufacturers do not. I think the defective plate in this boiler would have been discovered had it been tested, but not at the pressure of 2510. I saw nothing wrong. in the manufacture of the boiler itself, and it would have been very difficult for the manufacturer of the boiler to have discovered the detici,ncy of the plate in question. The giving way of the plate would in stantly cause the flue to collapse.' Henry Wharton, of G iin,borough, steam-engine manufacturer, was examined, and deposed to supply ing the steam-engine to Mr. Hervey. He was super intending the erection at the time the accident hap pened. lie does not manufacture his own boilers, and he Lad the boiler in question of Messrs. Smith and Sons, of G•iinsborough ; he had had many boilers of them, and never found a ile . ective ore before. Ile had ob , erved the ii.dex and it was at '25 just before the accident happened. lie then described the cir cumstances at the moment of tee explosion in terms similar to the first witness. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of " Accidental death," but recommended the parties erecting engine-houses t , ) have the door to open from the outside, so that in case of an accident the door may blow open, and not shut to in the in side, as it did in this case. The bodies of Gorge Fox and Timothy- Hervey were interred in Newark ChurA burial-ground on Sunday morning, at half-past 10 o'clock, in the pre sence of hundreds of spectators. Fox resided in Not tingham, and has left a wife and seven children, all unprovided for. Otter was a young man 19 years of age, and came from Oxton, to which place his remains were removed on Saturday night. Hervey was a boy, only 121 years of age. Messrs. Carter and Wharton paid all the expenses of the funerals of the sufferers. Fox and Otter only survived 12 hours after the accident ; they died in the hospital at Newark. DARING HIGHWAY B O BBERY.-011 Sunday morn ing, Police-sergeant Bevan; 'l' 3, while patrolling near Southall, on the Uxbridge-road, heard meaning cries proceed from a field at the side of the high road, and on proceeding to the spot he discovered, by the light of his lantern, a man in a state of entire nudity, lying in the grass, with a handkerchief tied across his mouth, his arms tied behind him by a neckerchief, and his legs tied together by a pair of braces, so that he could nut move hand or foot. Upon being liberated, the unfortunate man stated that his name was John James Fussbender, a German, living in Osborn-street, Whitechapel; that on - the previous evening he overtook three Irishmen, with whom he entered into company. They walked to gether until they arrived near the field, when suddenly ho was dragged into the field in which he was found, where his assailants, having rubbed him of seventeen sovereigns and a watch, prt ceeded to dispossess him of his clothes. The villains then secured his arms behind him with a piece of ccrd, and used his braces as a liga ture to tauten his legs together, when they turned him over on his face; and walked off, taking with them a carpet bag which he had with him, containing apparel and tools. The poor fellow when discovered was half dead with cold, having ., as he believed, lain in that -tats upwards of an hour. The robb ra are believed to be on their way back to Ireland via Bristol.

The complainant stated that the prisoner called at the above house on Saturday evening, in the company of a Mr. Neale, a builder in the neighbourhood, the latter of whom requested to see his ma-ter. He was accordingly shown into the bar parlour, in which a violent uproar immediately afterwards ensued, and on his hastening into the parlour to ascertain the cause of it, witness found his master struggling upon the ground with Mr. Neale, who was grasping him so forcibly by the throat, that he appeared to be upon the point of strangulation. With the assistance of some of the tap-room customers, he succeeded in rescuing his master, and was endeavouring to force Neale into the street, when the prisoner made a rush at him from the parlour, and struck him a tremendous blow on the forehead with a heavy iron spittoon, which cut him to the bone and inflicted a wound an inch and a half in length. On the arrival of the police, the prisoner and Neale were both conveyed to the station-house, where they were charged with the several assaults, but his master had sustained such serious injuries that he had been since confined to his bed, and was unable to appear and give evidence. Inspector Waller stated that when the party reached the station-house it was found necessary to imme.. diately call in Mr. Gai rod, the divisional surgeon, to dress the wounds of the prisoner and Mr. Neale, one of whose hands had been so severely cut by glass in the course of his encounter with Nunn, that one of the arteries was divided, and he was likewise unable to attend the Court, to which a certificate the witness produced bore evidence. Mr. Hunt addressed the Magistrate on behalf of the prisoner, and said he was instructed to state that the whole affray originated, in the first instance, from the extreme violence of a party of brickmakers in Mr. Nunn's service, and called The prisoner's nephew, who declared that at the time the struggle was going on between the com plainant and Neale, the prisoner was lying senseless on the road, from a blow inflicted by one of the com plainant's party, and the marks of which he then bore. Mr. HAMMILL said the case was manifestly one of far too serious a nature to be summarily dealt with, and he should, therefore, order the prisoner to find substantial bail to answer the charge at the sessions. A determined-1. oking fellow, named Charles Thompson alias Townley, was charged with having in his possession a large quantity of counterfeit coin, and also with violently assaulting a sergeant of police who took him into custody. It appeared that between six and seven o'clock on Saturday evening, as Sergeant Brannan, of the division, was reconnoitring in plain clothes with a con-table named Hawkins, in the neighbourhood of Old-street, he saw the prisoner in the company of two other men, whom he at once recognised as noto rious " smashers." On observing that they were watched the whole of them made off, but the sergeant speedily overtook and seized the prisoner, who imme diately drew from his pocket a handful of half-crown pieces, which the sergeant endeavoured to wrest from him, when he WAS grappled by the prisoner, and flung heavily on the pavement. The prisoner then commenced swallowing the counterfeit coin, four or five of which he had got rid of, and had transferred the last two to his mouth, when the sergeant started up and struck him a sharp blow underneath the jaw, which compelled him to disgorge them, and drop them irto the road. With the assistance of the other officer the prisoner was then handcuffed and conveyed to the station-house, where, upon being searched, nine other spurious half-crowns and five-shilling pieces were found in his possession. The prisoner, who declined offering any defence, was remanded for the attendance of the Mint au thorities. LAMBETH. Eliza Eaton, alias Fitzgerald, who stands com mitted with a young fellow named Foster to take her trial on a charge of receiving a quantity of cloth, stolen from a shop in Tunbridge-wells, with a guilty knowledge, and Mary Taylor, were placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott fur final examination on a charge of being concerned in robbing a Mr. Jones, a gentle man residing at Carshalton, of a valuable gold watch. The short facts of the case were these. On the night of the 28th of last month, and during the Goodwood races, Mr. Jones, while walking up the i ligh- street, Chiche,ter, in company with a friend, was accosted by a female, and Linnediately after was attacked by three men, who knocked him down and robbed him of his gold watch. On the morning of Monday, the 23d of last month, Sergeant Morten, 7 P, on searching the house of the prisoner Fitz. gerald, found in her own apartment the gold watch which had been stolen from Mr. Jones. On a former exam i na ti o n Mr. Jones, the prosecutor, recognised the prisoner Taylor , who was at the time in the body a o ai of r t , h w e h c o o court, been given int o c ustody ther e for , as a person he had seen in Chichester, rob bing Mr. Smith, a friend of his, of two shillings. This was denied on the part of the prisoner and her solicitor, and it was solemnly asserted that she had never been to Chichester. To-day, Maiden, a constable at Chichester, who had taken her into custody, and his wife, who had searched and attended to her while in custody, were in attendance, and swore positively as to her identity, magistrate:thsee npihr prisoner en not eera r,i m tt zo a x d te e hr se udapa havinga i assizes is and both the prisoners were committed for trial. imindnb the e n whether caa A a s ty t o h f e h a should sse x already committed to the Old Bailey, the prisoners were ordered to be brought up on a future day. John Stock, a middle-aged man, of gentlemanly appearance and a idress, was placed at the bar on a charge of stealing a small silver fruit knife, the pro perty of Mrs. Eliza Sheffield. The complainant stated that on that forenoon her daughter called out to her that a gentleman had come about the lodgings, and upon her coining down stairs and entering the parlour she found the prisoner there, and recognised him as a person who had called to look at a room she had to let the weel: before. She asked him to accompany her up stairs to see the room, and he replied he would. She then left the parlour to proceed up stairs with him, and finding that he did not follow her, but remained in the parlour for some moments after her, she at once suspected- his object was to steal something; she, in consequence, returned into the parlour, and missing a small silver fruit knife from the mantelpiece, which had been there a moment before, she charged him with taking it. The prisoner indignantly denied the charge, but feeling conscious in her own mind that no other person could have stolen it, she sent for a constable. Police-constable 60 M said the prisoner had been given into custody by the last witness, and after lock ing him up he (witness) returned to the house, and found the knife produced, and which the prosecutrix identified, behind some drawers in the back parlour. Mrs. Sheffield added to her former evidence that the prisoner had gone into the back parlour while the policeman had been sent for, and while there some thing had been heard to knock against the window ; so that she had no doubt the prisoner had attempted to throw the knife out of the window, which was partly down at the top, and then instead of doing so, he knocked it against the window, and it fell upon it, and had been found. The prisoner, who spoke with a south-of-Treland accent, denied de charge, assured the Magistrate that he was. perfectly incapable of committing such an act, as his Worship would see on the perusal of a letter he was just about to post, and said that if Lord Mor peth was in town he would testify to his character for honour and respectability- Mr. ELLIOTT read the letter handed to him, but instead of its having the effect of satisfying his Wor • ship on the point of his character and respectability, he told him he must know something more about him before he could consent to his liberation. The prisoner begged hard to have his case at once disposed of, but he was refused, and he was remanded to the following (this) day THAMES. David Walton, the owner of three small tenements in Hayes-court, Glasshouse -street, Rosemary-lane, was summoned by the trustees of St. Mary, White chapel, before Mr. Yardley, to show cause why he should not be compelled to reinove a nuisance of a most diAgusting and frightful description, which as alleged has caused a virulent fever in the above place, and the deaths of several persons. Mr. Smith, vestry clerk of Whitechapel said, this was a proceeding under the 9th and 10th Vict., cap. 96, to abate a nuisance caused by the overflowing of an open privy in Hayes-court, which contained four houses, three of them were owned by the defendant, and they were all occupied by poor families. The privy was uncovered, and the soil had overflowed into the passage and caused such a nauseous effluvia that fever had been engendered and several deaths had taken. place. The subject had already been made public in various newspapers in the reports of inquests held on the bodies of persons who had died of fever in Hayes-court, and another death had taken place there only that morning. The place in question was corn , mon to the tenants of all the houses in the court, and ,Nr4giv $ 44,30#0,1stste. Tio it ooal through GUILDHALL. Mr. Georke Ross, v of the Heir•at-Law Societr, attended again to meet the charges which had been made against the society, and Sir Peter Laurie not appearing by the time the night charges had been , disposed of, Mr. Ross addressed the sitting magis trate, Mr. Alderman Wood. Mr. Ross said he addressed him on a subject very painful to his feelings. A charge had been made against him, and the hearing was eventually ad journed for a month. This was the day for the fur ther hearing, but he was told the charge was aban doned. But he could hardly accept a discharge with out explaining, and giving some answer to the im putations which had been cast upon him and the society ; unless, indeed, the Alderman was ready to say he left the Court without the least imputation on his character. A month had elapsed, and the whole world had been invited to come here and make charges, and yet there were no complainants. He challenged the world to impeach him. Mr. Alderman Woos said he could not allow him to go on. There was no c large against him. There was nothing before the Court. Mrs. Howe, one of the witnesses, who was heard before Sir Peter Laurie, said she had not abandoned her charge ; her witnesses were present. Mr. Alderman WOOD directed that she should be sworn, arid heard her statement. She related, as before, that seeing the next of kin of Charles Barber advertised for, she and her father, Joseph Parkin, and other relations, went. She saw 2/. 4s. 6d. paid for counsel's opinion, and the opinion of Mr. Boyle was afterwards produced. Her father, Joseph Parkin, repeated his evidence that he contri buted 10s. towards 51. to file a bill in Chancery, and in consequence of what Mr. Ross said, he went down to Westminster-hall, on the 3d November, to hear the matter discussed, and found no bill had been filed. Mr. Ross asked him whether he saw the clerk Wil liams sign the name of the counsel to the opinion ? Parkins said he should not answer that question. Mr. Ross had already preferred an indictment for perjury against him in respect to that point, and the question had nothing to do with the case now before the magistrate. Mr. Alderman WOOD did not see that it was irrele vant, and desired him to answer the question. He then said he saw Williams write the name " J. Boyle" on an opinion. Mr. Alderman WOOD observed, that as the City So licitor had been instructed to look into the case he had better hear him upon the subject. Mr. Martin, from the City Solicitor's office,said the matter was disposed of as respecting Parkin's charge of obtaining Si. It was disinissPd, but the matter was adjourned for a month to see whether other charges would not be preferred. There appeared to be no other charges. Mr. Ross said it woul i be very hard if he were re fused permission to answer the aspersions which had been cast upon him. Mr. Alderman Wool) said there was nothing in the charge made by Parkin, and as there was no matter • depending he could not hear him. Sometimes ma gistrates had listened to extraneous matters, but he had never followed that course. As no charge was made out he could not call upon him for a defence, nor permit the public time ro be so occupied. Mr. Ross asked if the cape was adjourned again ? Mr. Alderman WOOD replied there was nothing to be adjourned. Mr. Ross asked if there ANas none there who had a charge to make ? and was amplifying this interroga tion, waen Mr. Alderman WOOD stopped him, and put the question from the chair. No one responding to the call, Mr. Ross exclaimed, " Then none have I offended," and he and his friends left the court. _ John Wright, a porter at the George Inn, Alder manbury, was charged with stealing 1 cwt. of lead from the platform of the Eastern Counties Railway luggage-station, at the Bricklayers •Arms. The Company's solicitor conducted the prosecu tion. lie stated that property was frequently pur loined from the terminus. A number of individuals sent their carts and porters to the railway in the night time to convey fruit, fish, and other things to the different markets, and it was to be feared that they took the opportunity of putting into their carts and vans anythi g they could manage t 9 stow away. ?Ir. Hilder, of the George Inn, Aldermanbury, stated that he saw the prisoner leave the yard with -omething heavy in a bag, and questioned him. He gave such equivocal answers as to who gave it him, where he was going, and what it was, that he de tained him, and found it was 1 cwt. of sheet lead. The night clerk at the railway identified the lead. It was lying on the platform from the night of the 3lst ult. till the sth inst. Mr. Wolff cross-examined the witness, to show that it could not be sworn to with certainty; but he failed in this. _ _ Mr. Alderman WOOD committed the prisoner for trial. CLERKENWELL. Charles 411iles,;;Ciah, was charged by Mr. Eden, Master of St. Pancras Workhouse, with stealing a pair of trousers, a pair of shoes, and other articles of clothing, the property of the board of directors of the poor of that parish. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner was a pauper in the workhouse, and supplied with the cloti es for use whilst he remained in the establishment. He made his escape from thence, taking with him the ar ticles and leaving his own wearing apparel behind, and he was missing with them till Saturday last, when he returned and applied for admission, having parted with the property above mentioned, with the exception of the parish shirt, and he was given into custody. The prisoner, in his defence said, that he left the workhouse because they threatened to keep him with out victuals if he did not break three bushels of stones. Committed to the house of correction, with hard labour, for one month. Several notorious pickpockets were charged with attempting to pick pockets at New Bartholomew Fair, held in a field near New North-road, Islington. Some of them were sentenced to three months, and others for lesser terms of imprisonment, with hard labour, according to the nature of their offences. MARYLEBONE. John Brown, a young man, who has at least two or three aliases, was placed at the bar, charged with having been concerned in plundering the premises of Mr. Charles Edmonds, the Feathers public-house, corner of Br,)wn'Street, Edgeware•road, of cash to the amount of at least 181. At an early hour in the morning of the 3d instant, Mr. Edmonds was aroused from his slumber by 61 D, who found the front door open. Search was made and it was discovered that the money alluded to had been carried off from the bar-parlour; two bundles of cigars had also been stolen, and without loss of time information of the robbery was given at the nearest police-station. It was shown that on the night previous to the discovery of the robbery the prisoner and another person went into the house, at two different times, but it %as not known at what period they made their egress. Sergeant liambury, 12 D, at length t oo k th e pr i soner i nto cus t o dy a t Islington, and conveyed him to the st•ttion-house in a cab, and, on his alighting, he (the constable) found on the seat a " jemmy" ( crow -b ar ) , th e di mens i ons of which exactly fitted to the marks made on the drawers from which the money was stolen. He had also in his possession some cigars, similar to those which prosecutor had missed, and a number of lucifer matches. The prisoner, who declared that he knew nothing whatever about the robbery, was remanded till next Thursday, but was given to understand that good and substantial bail would be taken for his appearance on that day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William Jones, a tall elderly man, of respectable appearance, was charged with having assaulted Henry Prince, goldsmith and jeweller, of No. 7, Harrow street, Lisson-grove. The complainant proved that the defendant had called at his lodgings on Friday last, and, in his ab sence, had told his landlady that he was nothing but a --. He was informed of what had occurred on hi 3 return home, and he immediately went to the de fendant's house, in Little Pulteney-street, to demand an explanation. T he defendant abused him grossly, charged him with having written an anonymous let ter to his friends at Winchester, called him an in famous name, and struck him with his fist, and with a stone which he sharpened his trade tools on.
