MARYLEBONE VESTRY. THE REGENT'S CANAL RAILWAY. Mr. G. DANIELL, as chairman of the committee ap pointed to watch the progress of the Regent's Canal Rail way, brought up the following further petition to Parlia ment upon that subject : " Sheweth,—That a Bill is in progress in your Honourable House to enable the company of proprietors of the Regent's Canal to make a railway from Padding. ton to Limehouse, with a branch therefrom, and to amend the Act relating to the Regent's Canal. "That the said Regent's Canal passes through a con siderable portion of the said parish of Marylebone. That the said canal is assessed to the poor and other parochial rates of the said parish only as so much land covered with water, whereas your petitioners humbly submit the said land so covered by water, and by being appropriated to the purpcses of a canal, is thereby im proved in its value, and ought in justice to your peti tioners and others, the ratepayers of the said parish, to be liable to, and be charged with its equal and proper proportion to the porochial rates in the same manner as all other hereditaments and property in the said parish of St Marylebone, and according to the local Acts of Parliament by which the rating of the parish is re gulated. " Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your Ho nourable House that such a Bill may not pass into law without provision being made to effect and carry out the object aforesaid, and that your petitioners may be heard against the same by themselves, their counsel," &c. The petition, on being put, was unanimously adopted by the vestry. VOTE OF THANKS TO THE LATE AND ELECTION OF A NEW BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND GUARDIANS. Mr. JOSEPH brought forward a motion of which he had given notice, for a vote of thanks to the retiring board of directors and guardians of the poor. He ob served, that no board ever elected by the vestry had, during their year of office, more arduous duties to per form than that which concluded their year of office that day. To the retiring board was the parish indebted for the defeat of the District Asylum job, and, in fact, almost the destruction of the Poor-law Commission. In other respects their duties had been most onerous, consequent on the vast increase of distress ; within the fast six months the board had bad no less than 20,000 new cases before them to adjudicate upon.—(Hear.) Mr. JOHN WILLIAnts seconded the resolution. Mr. NICHOLAY and Mr. GLASIER considered the pro position unealled for, more particularly as there were some acts on the part of the board of directors and guardians which had been greatly disapproved of by the vestry. The motion was ultimately carried unanimously. Sir JAMES HAMILTON rose, on the part of the retiring Board of Directors and Guardians, to thank the vestry for this compliment paid them. He was sure it would act as a stimulus to the succeeding board to carry out their duties with humanity to the poor and justice to the parish.—(Hear, hear.) Sir WALTER STIRLING expressed himself as highly gratified and deeply indebted for this testimony of the vestry's approbation, considering that the highest re ward an individual could receive in the discharge of a public duty must consist in the approbation of his fellow citizens, which was the incentive and best encouragement to his future exertions, and whenever they might be re quired. The duties of a guardian of the poor were suf. tiei, ntly onerous, and attended with considerable respon sibility when undertaken in a spirit of earnestness and s'al; but whatev, r the amount of those duties, or the extent of that re.ponsibility during the past year may have been, they had zeceived an ample equivalent of re muneration this day. For his own private feelings he was almost induced to suppose by this vote of thanks that this last year of his life had not been spent altoge ther uselessly or in vain, and the surest road that a l man could take to his own self-esteem was that which led him to the conviction that he had been, even in the remotest degree, of use in his vocation. It being now one o'clock, the ballot for the members of the new Board of Directors and Guardians, which had opened at eleven, *as declared to be closed. There were 42 candidates to fill the 30 vacancies, those marked with an asterisk bein t new candidates. At three o'clock the acrutineers reported the state o the poll as follows : Mr. Sampson Hodgkinson, 72 ; the Rev. Edward Sco bell, 72 ; Sir Walter Stirling, Bart., 71 ; Mr. David Davies*, 67 ; Mr. Walpole Eyre, 67 ; Sir James John Hamilton, Bart., 65 ; Mr. George Spencer Smith, 65 ; Mr. Julius Anderson. 62 ; Mr. William Artand, 62 Mr. Jonathan Soden,* 62 ; Mr. Charles Roberts," 61 Mr. William West,* 60 ; Mr. Tho mas P owe ll , 59 ; Mr. Charles Carr,* 57 ; MrJacob Bell,* 55 ; Mr. Fred er i c k Holland,* 55 ; Mr. W. L ow, 5G ; Mr . Mallalieu, 54 ; Mr. Charles Caney, 53 ; Mr. Thomas Kimberley Pritchard,* 52; Mr. Thomas Worlege,* 52; Mr. Alfred Daniell, 52; Mr. Peter Laurie, 51; Mr. Robert Turner,* 49; Mr. Edward Findley, 30; Mr. James Wilcox,* 46; Mr. Richard Wright,* 46; Mr. Thomas Cooper, 47; Mr. Archibald Michie, 45; Mr. Henry Lewis,* 44; Mr. Thomas Potter, 44; Mr. John Harris, 43; Mr. George Classor, 41; Mr. Isaac Carter Curtiss, 42; Mr. David Murray,* 38; Mr. James Blizard,* 38; Mr. Francis Almson,* 34; Mr. Joseph Bird, 32; Mr. John Primer De la Fous,* 32; Mr. George Perry, 27; Mr. Robert Temple,* 25; and Mr. James Henry Dart,* 20. The Rev. CHAIRMAN declared the first thirty gentle men duly elected, and it will be seen that out of the number elected eleven of the old Board have been un seated, and their places supplied by qew candidates. Among those defeated will be found tile name of Mr. George Perry, a prominent member of the old Board, and it will also be perceived that Messrs. Potter and Mi ohie were within one vote of sharing a similar fate. The proceedings of the election excited considerable interest. JETEEMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—At an early hour on Thursday morning, a constable on duty at Horton stopped a man who was hurrying along endeavour. ing to conceal a large bundle he was carrying, and, suspecting it was the prod uce o f some robbery, he conveyed the man t o o f the Robert-street st a ti on. There the man gave the name Smith, but refused to te ll hi s residence or how he becamee possessed of the bundle, which contained a quantity of workmen's tools, two glazier's diamonds, and several coats; it was, however, shortly afterwards ascertained that a house in the New North-road had been broken into by cutting a pane out of one of the windows. and articles of that descrip tion carried away by the thief or thieves, and the prisoner was therefore locked up in one of the cells at the rear. His person was searched previous to his being placed in the cell, and everything in his possession, as it was believed taken from him; but ten minutes h a d scarce l y e l apsed after he was lodged there, when a man who was confined with him saw him stoop down over the watercloset, and, not see ing him afterwards move, thought something had happened to him and went to his assistance, when he was horrified at finding the blood pouring in a stream from a frightful wound in his throat, which he had cut completely across with a knife he had secreted. An alarm was raised by the other prisoner, and Messrs. Coward and Amsden, two surgeons, were instantly sent for, who dressed the wound, which they pronounced of a very dangerous description, and ordered the man's immediate removal to the hospital. A cab was, there fore, procured, and the unfortunate man placed inside it, with a constable on the box to watch him and render assist ance; but the vehicle had only proceeded as far as Chart street, and was go i ng at a very rapid rate, when the prisoner was seen to leap out of it, and, with a desperate energy that V '" marvello us i n hi s wea k and exhausted condition, dash down one of the by-streets, through which and three others he succeeded iii running before he was re-captured in a fainting state. He was again placed in the cab and driven to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where, at the time of the last inquiries by the police, he was pronounced to be in imminent dayer, aria but Re E very small hopes entertained of his recovery. ..4tCaor ME.mr.—A correspondent of the DroghetiaT regret to learn that s e v e r a of l Saturday writes as follows :—" I ploughi ng farmers in this district have a ne cessity for fields of wheat; indeed I saw some fields, which after the platanost and snow had a healthy pearance, ploughed u , ? ul ared for the reception of' barley or oats.

On Saturday, at the Marylebone Vestry, Mr. FLOOD, the vestry clerk, reported. " That pursuant to an order from a committee of her Majesty's justices, acting under an Aet of Parliament passed in the eighth and ninth years of the reign of her present Majesty, intituled, an Act to Amend the Laws relating to the Assessing of County Rates,' he attended such committee at the Clerkenwell Sessions House, on Tuesday last, and was examined as to the mode adopted by the vestry of Mary lebone, in assessing the poor-rate, and that he was in formed by the committee (James Wm. Freshfield, Esq„ in the chair), that the magistrates' construction of the Act of Parliament the 6th and 7th Wm. IV., intituled, an Act to Regulate Parochial Assessments,' is that the rateable value to be assessed to the poor means the rack rent, after deducting therefrom the probable average annual cost of repairs and insurance, that is to say—that person paying a rent of 1001. a year, and the presumed average annual cost of repairs and insurance being 10/., he should be assessed en a rental of 901. To the Vestry of St. Marylebone, 2d March, 1847." Mr. G. DANIELL, in moving that the report be receiged and entered on the minutes, observed,,that the parish of Marylebone had for a long time struggled to obtain some alleviation with regard to the immense assessment charged upon them as compared with other metropolitan paris.lies. In consequence of this excess, the vestry had hoped that the magistrat es wou ld have been enabled to Bice them some relief under the Act 6th and 7th Wm. IV.; but, from the construction put upon that Act of Parliament by the committee of magistrates, it appeared that very little, if any, relief could be afforded. The magistrates told them they might appeal, and if success ful, they, the magistrates, would then have to assess other parishes higher to the county-rate, in order to produce a sufficient sum to meet the expenditure ; but any parish appealed against which could prove that there was even a single house in the parish appealing, not assessed upon its rack rental, then such appeal must fall to the ground. The Poor-law Commissioners had also the power to grant relief in such eases, but that parish not being under the poor-law were deprived of it. The parish of Marylebone, at that moment, was assessed to the county and police-rate upon a rental of no less a sum than 340,2161. per annum. Mr. NICHOLAY seconded the resolution, which was carried. STATE OF TRADE. THE GERMAN WOOL TRADE. —BE RUN, MARCH 12. Purchases of different qualities of wool continue to be made, almost every day, by our inland manufacturers; and prices are remarkably firm. A large parcel of Austrian fleeces, between 500 and 600 cwt., sent hither for sale, has been taken, soon after its arrival, by a Leipsic Yarn Spinning Company. The price is believed to be about Is. I Id. Money is plentiful on change, espe cially for long periods. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MARCH 19.—Busi ness has been generally inactive during the past week, and may be accounted for chiefly by the present de pressed state of the money market. Stocks of all de scriptions of wool of a desirable character are unusually low in the German markets, and below an average with us, which is likely to check any downward tendency in prices. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MARCH 19.—We have not any alteration to notice in this branch of trade during the present week. The manufacturers confine their purchases to their immediate wants, and although prices have a downward tendency, there is not any material reduction during the last fortnight. The woollen markets at the cloth halls, both this day week and on Tuesday were very dull. There continues to be a com plete absence of speculation for the spring trade. The demand is confined to low-priced blues and wool-blacks for the transatlantic markets, whilst fine qualities con lune to be exceedingly dull. Prices are without any alteration, and notwithstanding the continued dull state of the market, from the circumstance of a great number of manufacturers being engaged for some months past in making goods for the eastern markets, and which are delivered direct to the merchants, the stocks in the halls continue in moderate compass. The country drapers are moving more freely, but the Lon lon houses continue to buy cautiously. On the whole, however, there has been a little improvement in business in the warehouses this week. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—The purchases of combing wool were more extensive, and prices (except for particular sorts) a little higher on account of the supply being scant. The spinners purchase more freely. There was more business done in yarns, both for the ex port and home trade, and as the production is at present below the consumption, higher prices were obtained. Owing in part to the fineness of the weather, there was a very great number of merchants in the market, and a great number of pieces were purchased for the American market, principally plain Orleans. MAeCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have had on the whole only a very dull market for cloth this week; though on Tuesday and to-day rather more goods have changed hands than of late; but as this has been effected by the manufacturers giving way in price, it is doubtful whether the increased demand can be deemed an im provement. Large orders are in town from the United States, and a large business is sure to be done this sea son with that country. Our home merchants complain heavily of the country trade. The silk trade is, if any thing, improving. Yarns are readier sale, bat the prices are miserably heavy. THE REVOLTING MURDER AT CHESTERFIELD. TRIAL OF THE MURDERER. - DERBY, SATURDAY MORNING.—The trial of John Plaits, for the inhuman murder and mutilation of George Collis, in the butcher shambles at Chesterfield, last December twelve months, commenced yesterday in the Crown Court, before Mr. Justice Patteson. The prisoner is not more than twenty years of age, and his youthful appearance, and the awful character of the crime imputed to him, created a painful feeling. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Mellor ; Mr. Macauley for the prisoner. The circumstances connected with the murder, as stated by thirty-two witnesses, can only be equalled by those atrocious deeds for which the notorious Greenacre and Good suffered. It appeared that early in the morning of the last Fri day in August, 1846, some men were employed in emp tying a remote cesspool attached to the premises of a Mr. Bunting, a flour dealer, living in Low Pavement, in the town of Chesterfield, when their attention was drawn to what seemed to be the remains of a carcase of a sheep. A further search showed the mass to consist of two legs and thigh bones, and a quantity of entrails. On the soil being removed to a field for which it was in tended at Halsham, a mile from the town, part of a coat, a pair of trowsers, a hat, two silk handkerchiefs, and portions of a pair of braces and stockings were dis covered. One of the handkerchiefs was marked "G. C." and when picked up was tied as if for the neck, and on the leg bones were garters, apparently two odd ones, one red and the other white. This led to a move minute search of the cesspool, and at the bottom was found a human skull with a fracture over the right eye. On the wearing apparel being exhibited p ublicly, the handkerchief bearing the initi a l s o f "G . C. was iden tified by a young female named Ellen Beresford, as having belonged to George Collis. This person (Collis), it is proper to mention, was in partnership with the prisoner Platts, in the butchering line, in the preceding year (1845). and opened a shop in the miserable place called the " Shambles," adjacent to the market-place in Chesterfield. Since Sunday night, the 7th of December, in that year (1845), Collis had not been seen, and the belief gained ground that it was his remains that were discovered, and suspicions at the same time were entertained that the prisoner was the party who had taken away his life. The fact of the prisoner having sent a man named Knight to pledge a watch belonging to Collis, a few days after the disap pearance of the latter, gave strength to this suspicion. This led to the prisoner's apprehension. In addition to Ellen Beresford (who had been enceinte by the de ceased) identifying the silk handkerchief; she spoke to the watch produced being in deceased's possession on the 7th of December, 184.5, on the eve:ling of which day he told her he was o bli ge d to l eave her, having promised to meet John Platts at half-past six o'clock. 1 lie said Platts had promised several times to settle with him, for ho Ras greatly in his debt, and he was deter mined to get something on account. She never saw him after. When Collis left her she distinctly saw he had the watch in his pocket. He was dressed in a black surtout coat. The witness identified the red worst. garter found on the leg bones when taken out of the cesspool. She said the deceased took it from her in return for one of his. The mother of the deceased said that the prisoner, after the disappearance of the deceased, was asked if he had seen anything of him? Ho replied Collis had told him he intended to go to Manchester to get clear of the female Beresford, who was in the family- way by him, and he believed he had gone; in fact, he knew he had, for another persoa told him he had seen him in Man chester. John Holbrook, an eatinghouse-keeper near the but. hers' shambles, stated he remembered Collis coming to his shop on the night of the 7th of December. He recollected the night perfectly from circumstances that transpired. Collis came into his shop about a quarter to seven o'clock, saying to witness he had to meet Platts at the shop in the Shambles to get some money from him, and he wanted witness to meet him afterwards at a public house in the neighbourhood. Collis said he would meet him at twelve o'clock. Witness went to the public-house and waited for Platts till past one in the morning, but he never came. Witness never saw him after. When Collis left the shop he saw him go in the direction of the prisoner's shop in the Shambles. It was a corner shop on the right hand side, passing through the Shambles from the market-place. He knew the cesspool where the body was discovered. It is situated within one hundred yards of the prisoner's shop. The cesspool is down a narrow passage among a quan tity of stables, and is made use of by most of the inha bitants round about. There is no thoroughfare down the passage. It was possible for a man to fall into it, and there remain six or eight months before discovered. The cesspool is a very large one. It is made use of by the butchers in the shambles as a receptacle for un whelesome meat. Thomas Harvey's evidence was most important. He said he was a shoemaker living at Chesterfield. On the night of the 7th of December, 1845, at about twenty minut->s or a quarter to seven o'clock, he was standing near Platt's shop, and heard two or three blows struck in the shop. They appeared as if by a clever on a soft substance. After the first blow he distinctly heard the groans of a human being. It alarmed him, and he made all haste to his friends at home, and told them he was I sine some mu r d er was go i ng on i n Platt ' s shop, telling them what he had heard. His wife and sisterreturned with him to the shambles, and tried to get into the shop, but the door was secured, and all was dark within. Before there was a light in the shop. No one could see into it, for the shutters were up, and a sheet was hung up inside to prevent observation. His wife and sister knocked at the door, and asked Platts what he was doing, and who he had in the shop. The prisoner answered, "No one." His sister then said, "Oh yes, you have." Prisoner said, "No he had not, it was him that was making the noise ; he had been taking some rum, was sick, and intended to lie down. " Witness said he had better open the door and let them in, and they would get him some water, but he refused. Tho females then charged Platts with having a woman inside with him, and pushed against the door to force it open. Plates told them he had no one with him, but would not open the door to satisfy them. They then left the shop. Shortly afterwards Platts came into the house where witness and his wife and sister were. One of his hands were covered with blood. He said he had cut them, and asked for water to wash them, which was given to him. He appeared confused, and seemed to have been kneeling, as one of his knees were covered with dirt. The women taxed him with having been ill using a female in the shop. He said he had been doing nothing of the kind, or anybody else. Mrs. Harvey and her sister corroborated Harvey's evidence in every particular. Mary Randall said she met the prisoner in January, 1845. He offered to sell her a watch. After the dis covery of the skull in the cesspool, she asked the pri soner if he had heard of the rumours that Collis was supposed to have been murdered ? He said he had. George Knight deposed to having bought a pair of boots of the prisoner for ss. (They were produced, and were identified as belonging to the deceased. His mo ther believed they were the same he had on the night he lent home ) Mr. H. E. Walker, surgeon, of Chesterfield, stated that the bons found in the cesspool were those of a man 23 or 24 years of age. He was of opinion that the frac tiiri e s on the sk u ll h a d b een the cause of death. There thre e f ractures, and they had evidently been in werecleaver.bYY some heavy instrument, such as a butcher's -- - At the conclusion of the evidence Mr. MAcitmEr ad dressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, calling a num ber of witnesses to character. Mr. Justice PA.rrzsort having summed up, The jury r et i red to consider their verdict. At three the p against o'clock they risoner. retued a verdict of "Wilful Murder" rn Sentence of death was passed, but no day fixed for his execution. (From the London Gazette.)

SUSPENSION OF A C ERTIFICATE FOR THREE YEARS. —IN RE OSBORNE.—This morning Mr. Commissioner Goulburn gave judgment on an application by this bankrupt. who had carried on business as a silversmith and jeweller in St. James's -street. The case had been before the Court on several occasions, when a very lengthened examination took place into the con duct of the bankrupt; but the Learned Commissioner expressed his opinion that it would not be just towards the bankrupt to pub:i,h it until the case was concluded. His HONOUR dwelt with great severity on the bank rupt's condrlet; but said there were some mitigating cir cumstane,s which operated in favour of the b...iik:upt to prevent the law being carried to its full extent; they were, that the bankrupt had sued out the fiat when he found himself in a hopeless state, and when there was 4,0001. for his creditors, and he had also rendered all the assistance he could to the creditors. His Honour concluded by suspending the certificate for three years. 4,233 9,791 INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, March 20. IN RE ABRAHAM LEVY GOODMAN. This insolvent, Goodman, Levy, a name well known in sporting circles, applied to be discharged on bail until his hearing in April. No opposition was offered. Mr. Commissioner Law, on reference to the schedule, found some debtors for money who had given cheques. lie asked whether the insolvent knew the residences he had set forth. He found an address of a person formerly of the City." The insolvent said he was not acquainted with the re sidences. They were strangers to him and generally resided at Hotels, Mr. Commissioner LAW thought that not very active proceedings had been taken on the cheques given by the parties. The Court accepted the bail, and the discharge was ordered. The insolvent on his schedule stated that his appear ance in the Court had been occasioned by paying forfeits on racehorses which had not run according to their entries. 8,821 3,055 2,951 ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Exeter, March 19. CROWN COURT.—( Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) Walter Smith was indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Lydia Prideaux, at Plymouth, on the 14th of January, and stealing there from one silver tea caddy, one silver dessert-spoon, one pair of silver sugar tongs, and twelve plated dessert knives. Mr. Rowe conducted the case for the prosecution, and ,Nfr. Stone defended the prisoner. This was a very extraordinary case of circumstantial evidence. It appeared that Mrs. Prideaus lived at Hampton• place, which is situate at the north-east end of Plymouth. The parlour-window was very low, and near the ground; the shutters were fastened by an iron bar inside. The shutters were closed on the evening of Thursday, the 13th of January. In that parlour were the silver articles mentioned in the indictment. On the Friday morning. upon the. servant coming down stairs, between 6 and 7 o'clock, site found the parlour in a state of great confusion. and her attention was directed to the state of the window, :1.,1d it appeared that the burglar had proceeded first to break a pane of glass, so that he might put his hand in an •:d undo the fastening of the window ; he then bored a hole in the lower part of the shutter, but he did not succeed in obtaining an entrance by that means ; he then introde•ced a sharp instrument, and then, using it as .a lever, h e forced the upper part of the shutter. Out side the wit, dow there were marks of footsteps. The police were sent for. When they came to open the shutters completely, a piece of paper fell down and it appeared doer that the party had used that piece of paper for the double purpose of preventing a noise, and also of preventing the instrument from making any mark by venich it might be identified. This paper formed a clarions piece of the evidence. Upon inspect ing it it was found to be a bill of parcels—" Mr. Smith to William Baker, debtor ; board, 6s. 5d., other board 69. 3d., making 12s. Bd." There was also another piece of paper found in the room, on which was written the name of Smith. It is usual for persons coming from Devonport to Plymouth to take a pass ticket at the Stonehouse-bridge toll-gate, and in the room a ticket of that description was found. The policemen having dis covered these things, their attention was directed to Devonport, and they found there was a timber-merchant living there of the name of William Raker, and that the prisoner was a cabinet-maker at Devonport, and the bill found in the parlour of Mrs. Prideaux's house had been made out by Baker, and given to the pri soner. The footsteps in the garden were covered over to keep them fresh. On the Friday evening the pri soner was taken at a public-house. Concealed under the lining of his hat a spring saw was discovered, and in the bedroom occupied by the prisoner the police found a centrebit .and a chisel, which completely fitted the marks made in the shutters, a cupboard, and drawer of a table in Mrs. Prideaux's parlour. The prisoner's boots, also, corresponded with the footmarks in the garden. The prisoner lived upwards of two miles from the house of Mrs. I'rideaux, but he was seen at the corner of her garden-wall on the evening of the Thursday. The arti cles were discovered in a ditch on the Government lines at Devon port. A small piece of gold was also found in the parlour, which had been stolen from Admiral Phil lips's abode. When the prisoner was taken into custody, the policeman told him he chargel him with breaking into the house last night at Plymouth, and another two nights ago at Millbay. The prisoner said. "It is a serious charge, but it is all right. Will you allow me to go back and drink my beer?" The policeman refused this, and took him to the station-house. 9,670 6,020 9,800 Mr. STONE addree•sed the jury on behalf of the pri soner, urging most strongly that there was no proof of the house having been broken into between the hours of nine and six, and, therefore, this did not amount to a burglary, which was the charge made by this indict. ment ; and then he•centended that there was not suffi cient proof of the prisoner having committed the offence. Mr. Justice WILLIA.ms summed up the case, and the jury, having retired for some time, returned a verdict of Guilty of housebreaking. The prisoner was sentenced to ten years' transporta tion. 9,815 There was another indictment against the prisoner for another burglary. About two years since he was ac quitted upon five indictments for burglary, and eight others against him were withdrawn. March 20. William Hayter was indicted for maliciously shooting at Marina Rocker Hicks, with intent to do her grievous bodily harm. Mr. Collier was counsel for the prosecution; and Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Greenwood for the pri soner. The prisoner is a respectable-looking elderly man; he was gamekeeper to the Rev. Walter Radcliffe, of Warleigh. The girl is about 14 years of age; her father is a gardener, and has a cottage and garden adjoin ing a plantation of Mr. Radcliffe's. On the 4th of Sep tember she was picking blackberries in the plantation; the prisoner came n. ar 'her and used very bad language to her, and then fired two shots; the last struck her in thigh, and, as she said, inflicted a wound nearly three inches in depth. A surgeon came and examined the wound; he found part of her linen in the wound; he ordered a poultice to be put on, and the next morning be took off the poultice, and found two shots in it. He did not believe those shots had been fired from a gun ; they appeared quite fresh and clean, and did not seem to have been in contact with gun powder. There was one shot in her finger, which Mill remained. The surgeon would not say that the wound in her thigh had been caused by the discharge from a gun. The 'defence was that the prisoner was firing at a hawk, and that some of the shot must have glanced against a tree, and then struck Cho girl ; but it was as serted that the wound in the thigh had not been caused by a shot from a gun, and a surgeon was called, who swore most positively that it was not a gun-shot wound ; but still there wat; a shot in her finger, and another in her head. Several gentleman gavo the prisoner a most excellent character for humanity and good conduct. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS having rummed up, the jury returned a rerdict of Guilty of a common assault, and the prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned for one month, without hard labour. NORFOLK CIRCUIT .—Cambridge, March 20. The commission for this county was duly opened yes terday, and at 10 o'clock this morning both the Learned Judges proceeded to the dispatch of business. On the civil side there was an entry tar below the average, there being only six causes, one of which was withdrawn. Three of them, however, are for trial by special juries, and in one of these, an action of defama tion relating to certain alleged charges of a most painful nature on the moral character of the plaintiff, Sir Fitzroy Kelly and Sir Frederick Thesiger are repeetively specially retained. The calendar contains the names of 26 prisoners from the county and 17 from the town. Amongst the former are six cases of arson and one of cutting, while the latter contains one case of rape ; the rest may be described as mare "leather and prunella." CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) Joseph Randall, aged 12, was charged with setting fire to a stack of hay, the property of James Reid, on the 3d of August last. Mr. Couch appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Cooper for the prisoner. The prosecutor occupies a farm at a place called Black Bush, no-,r kVitittlesey, in the Isle of Ely ; and the pri soner, wit -se uncle works with Mr. Reid, lives his father, about half way from Black Bush to Whittle sey. On the day in question he went to school as usual, and was seen by his master to be playing with some lucifer matches, which he was cracking in every direction. Upon this his master interfered and took from him a box full of these dangerous phy things, which he said he had bought from Mrs. Smith. At four o'clock he left the school and proceeded home wards, and was seen by his uncle near the prosecutor's stackyard at half-past six o'clock. In a few minutes the stack in question was discovered to ho in flames. S noi , after this one James Crow, a rat catcher, met the lad going towards his home, and on asking him ab ,ut the fire, which was very perceptible at that moment, r, ceived for answer that " Bill Page had done it." Th e circumstance of the prisoner having had possession of MA RLBOROUGH -STREET. ROMANTIC TALE.—THE PRICE OF A MUSBIILMAN. On Saturday two Persians, wearing the costume of their country, and apparently unable to speak any other than their native tongue, were brought to this Court by a Commissioner, who attends at the different wharfs to introduce foreigners to hotels, under the following very curious circumstances : The Commissioner said the two foreigners were wandering about the east-end of the town, having just landed from a French steamer, apparently quite be wildensd about their destination. lie made inquiries, and lie learned the following particulars about th em : A relative, al s o a P ers i an , had killed a Turk, and the Turkish Cadi, who heard the charge, agreed to spare the prisoner's life on condition of his paying a stipulated fine within a certain period. The two Persians, his re latives, had set out on their benevolent rnissic,n to make the case known among compasiionate Giaours, in the hope of collecting money enough to redeem the other wise forfeited life of their relative. The Persians had visited various countries. They had last made their ap pearance at Paris, from whence they had, no doubt, been advised to make their way to England, as their romantic story would be sure to interest the benevolent, who had plenty of money at their command. The Persians had taken this advice, and had found their way to London, hoping to add to the funds they had already collected. Mr. HARDWICK examined the passports and papers of the travellers. Mr. HARDWICK said the papers to a certain extent confirmed the singular story just related. The foreigners had evidently made their appearance at various places, and had been received with attention by foreign ministers and by our own consuls. They had been to Greece, to Smyrna, and to Paris, and their passports were vise re gularly and reputably. The Commissioner said he had called at the Turkish Ambassador's, and had been told to take the Persians to the usual depot for foreigners at the east end of the town, from whetter they would be sent to their own country. His own opinion was,that there might be some foundation for their charitable pilgrimage, but he suspected from the care✓ul way in which they lived, that ti ey were say • ing all the money they collected, and making a good thing of this affiir. M. HARDWICK said the great respectability of the names attached to the Persian's papers induced him to think there might be some truth in the strange stor-; to clear up his doubts, h e wou ld wr i te to the Turkish Em bassy on the subject. A. STARTLING SIGHT. This day week (Friday), as a man named Lambley was returning from Foxhall, to which place he had been to gather watercresses, he saw a man's hat lying upon the pathway, near a place called Brook-hill, in the parish of Rushmere, about two and half miles from Ipswich ; he looked over the hedge, and was much frightened at seeing the body of a man suspended by the neck from a cord, which was attached to the bough of a tree; he stood gazing at the body for a short time, and then ran down the road for about a hundred yards, and seeing a shepherd in a field, he told him of what he had seen. The shepherd accompanied him to the spot, and was as much frightened as himself, neither of them being able, through fright, to cut the body down. After gazing for some time at the body at a respectful distance (for they were afraid to approach too near), the shepherd suggested, after saying, "Poor fellow, we can't do him any good, let him hang where he is," that Lambley should run to the Ipswich station-house and tell the police of what he had seen. MoSt singular to relate, Lambley followed the advice given, in stead of going to a house close by to obtain assistance. The shepherd, too, returned to his work, as if nothing had hap pened. It is hard judging, but from the facts stated at the inquest we think it not improbable, as was expressed by the jury, that if the deceased had been cut down when first see❑ by Lambley his life might have been spared. On the day following an inquest was held upon the body at the Ship Inn, St. Clement's, Ipswich, before Mr. S. B. Jackaman, coroner for the borough. It appeared from the evidence ad duced that the deceased's name was John Lawrence, and that he had left a widow, residing in St. Clement's Back street, in this town, but no children. Deceased was an en gine fitter, and had been in the employ for the last twelve months, with the exception of the last six weeks, of Thur wood and Co., steam-engine manufacturers and iron foun ders, of Ipswich. He had at times been in a desponding state of mind, but had not until Sunday week been :.us peered of having contemplated such a dreadful act ; on which day a fellow workman, named Brazier, who lodged at the house of the deceased, on his return home from a place of worship, discovered the deceased standing upo❑ a stool in the passage with a piece of cord in his hand. The deceased was accused of having made a hole in the wall, but he denied having done so. Other circumstances also gave rise to a suspicion that he intended self-destruction. On the following day (Monday) deceased left his home, telling his wife he should return in half an hour; he did not re turn, and although sought atter he could not be found. It was proved, that on the night previous to his committing the rash act, he slept at the house where the inquest was held, leaving on the following morning shortly after twelve o'clock, and about one o'clock his body was seen hanging upon the branch of a tree by Lambley. Evidence was also given corroborative of the' facts we have previously stated, and the policeman said, that when he saw the body, at between three and four o'clock, a short time after it had been cut down, it was quite warm. The Coroner, addressing the witness Lambley, said, he hoped that if he should ever again have the misfortune to find anybody hanging, as he had seen the deceased, he would pluck up resolution enough to do what was proper in such a case, by cutting the body down. The jury expressed their astonishment that the shepherd and the witness Lambley had acted as they had done, and, without hesitation returned the following verd,ct;—" That the deceased had destroyed himself when in a temporary state of derangement." One of the witnesses stated, that had no a young lady, named Neal'. of Newbourne, who was passing the spot, been very much frightened at the ghastly sight, the body would not have been taken from the tree until the arrival of the police. The deceased had been under medic a l treatment for some months previous to his death.—Essex Standard. Carterbod3. ohfel‘dvialni William inquest p a h t ALLEGED DEATH OF A CHILD FR OM C RUEL the the Three TREATMENSTiziY:eLstaemrdbaeythll,lo% W. King, aged nine years, a son of a beer -shop keeper living in Mead's-row. The inquiry was instituted in cans‘quence of information having been sent to the Corcrier that the child had died from the effects of corporal punishment inflicted by his parents. Police. constable Beal, 127 L, said that he had been residing in the same house as deceased, and about six or eight weeas since the deceased crept up stairs to one of the lodger's rooms, and begged for a piece of bread. He was then in a very dirty and deplorable state. During the late bitter cold weather witness had seen deceased with no thing on but his shirt. Rebecca Ellvin, 5, Asylum-place, said she knew Mr. and Mrs. Kin g , and had seen the greatest brutality practised by both towards deceased. On one occa sion she saw him tied up by his hands to the skylight. The last time she saw anything done to hint was a fortnight after last Christmas, when Mr. King beat him with a double rope, knocked him down, pushed his nose on to the flooring until the blood ran from his nose into hi mow h. Alice Anderson said that she had been engaged at Mr. King's as charwcman. She knew the deceased. Ile was an execcdiogiv dirty child, and fond of pilfering any hing he could lay hold of. She had seen his father beat him, but she thought the chastise ment was not at all excessive She did not think deceased was right in his mind. The jury returned a verdict of " Natural death." THE REWARD OF MERCY; OR, DISAPPOINTMENT MITIGATED.—The following paragraph appears in the last re ceived American (New York) Sun :—" Thousands of persons assembled at Racine, Wisconsin, to see a man hung, by the name of Bonham, sentenced fin. murder. The sh riff informed the people that Goverhor Dodge had reprieved the prisoner for thirty days, whereupon they bung the effigy of the Go vernor, and then separated peaceably." Mr. Hudson, M.P., had an interview with the Right Hon. Edward Strutt, on Saturday, at the office of the Commis sioners of Railways in Grad George-street. the box of matches during the morning of the fire after wards led to suspicion, and on inquiry it turned out that he had bought two boxss of Inciters at the shop of one Ars. Bosh, and not Smith, and that no such person was known to be in existence as Bill Page. He was accord ingly taken into custody on this charge, and when be fore the m , gistrate he stated, that lie did not know more about it; that Bill Page ran away, and he knew nothing, more." e Mr. oopEtt addrosscd the jury on this evidence, which he cohtended to be wholly insufficient to support so serious a charge against a mere boy, who might well he playing with lucifers during school time, and yet be free from suspicion of firing stacks. His LORDSHIP summed up the case to the jury, leav ing it to them to say whether they thought the case was made out for the prosecution beyond all reasonable doubt. The jury, after a brief deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. As soon as the verdict was pronounced, the Learned .Tudge called for the parents of the boy and consigned him to their care. John Ritchie, aged only eight years, persisted in pleading guilty to an indictment charging him with wil folly and feloniously setting fire to a stack of straw at Elm, the property of J. , seph Blackburn.

BOW-STREET Thomas Aces, driver of an omnibus plying between King's-cross and Kennington, appeared on a charge of causing considerable damage to a horse and chaise be longing to Mr. R. Rogers, of King-street, Covent garden, by furious driving. It appeared that on tho evening of the 11th inst., about nine o'clock, the complainant was driving through College-street, Camden -town, with his song when he observed the omnibus coming towards him at a furious pace, on the wrong side of the road. He drew as close as possible to the path, and called to the driver, who paid no attention, and drove against his chaise, the pole striking the dashing board, doubling it up, and breaking the whip off close to the handle. The splinter bar of the omnibus struck the complainant s pony inside the thigh, inflicting a severe wound on the stifle, and also wrenching a shoe off his foot. The chaise was completely jammed under the omnibus, and it was a long time before it could be extricated. The defendant was quite unconcerned, and never attempted to render the slightest assistance. He had plenty of time to get out of the way after Mr. Rogers called to him, and the passengers were so much alarmed that they left the omnibus and walked away. So far from the defendant ex hibi t i ng any regret for the acci dent, on his being remonstrated with, he burst out laughing, as if he thought it a good joke. On being called on for his defence, he said it was so dark he could not see, and that he pulled up as soon as he could. Mr. HENRY - said it was the worst case of the kind he ever met with, and the defendant might think himself lucky in not having to appear on a charge of man slaughter. He committed the defendant to the House of Correction for two months. Mr. Rogers said he was about to commence an action against the proprietor of the omnibus for the damages, but he was willing to forego this if the latter would put the sum of 101. in the poor• box. 'Mr. Bathgate, the proprietor, after some considera tion, offered half the sum, but alter a few pointed re marks from the Court, he paid the whole of the money, and retired.

FALSE ALARM. (From the Brighton Herald.) Ab^ut twenty minutes to nine o'clock on Tuesday evening the attention of the inhabitants of this tool' was power''ully aroused by a dull, heavy, rumbl in g noise, whi c h su dd en l y ro l led over it, and which was s , ° peculiar in its c h aracter — so unlike any of t h e s ounag which one usually hears here—that it excited immediate notice, and raised in those who heard it—and there wer e few who did not—a mingled feeling of awe and alarm' In about a quarte r o f a m i nute the sound was repeat gradually swelling on the ear and then dying away' ,„ third and a f our th ti me t h e noise was hear d , a nd powerful was the vibration that houses shook beneath It, as though some heavy substance had fallen within them c e and articles of c hi na an d earthenware gave a udible token of b e in g d is t ur b e d . P eop l e now became thorougb ll alarmed and ra n ou t o f t h e i r h ouses an d s hop! I 0 question each other as to the cause of this myterious oi , turbance. N or th- street i n a f ew moments wa s t it , state of excitement. It was heard in the Chapel rt'V n where Divi ne serv i ce was go i ng on, and caused o; ,iderable trepidation ; in the Albion 'towns, w her the character of M a h ome d was b e i ng discussed; t he , most northerly extremity o f t h e town, an d a l ong the l ine of cliffs, where the shock was very strong, and wh e , re o the attention of persons was directed wore peculiarldlje the sea, in search of the cause of this phenomenon. first c;mjecture was, that it was a vessel in diatress , an under this idea the IFe bout on the pier was got reki d for launching by th e p reventat i ve service men and fi",ii with life pr e s ervers . B u t t h e sea was calm and trancluin the wind, which h a d b een bl ow i ng rather stronoY oht the south-east, had sunk to a met a breath; and the vib was starlight and beautiful. All kinds of speculatll now got abroad. Was it thunder ? There was not a el° to been seen. Were the French come ? If so, they kq n most carefully out o f s i g h t ! W as it the sh,ek of "u earthquake ? Thi s was the conjecture which tallied most with the cir cums t ances of the case and with th e fears of the people, whose thoughts inst.nctively reverted to the fact of the neighbouring city of Chichester havi n g been on several occasions subjected to this alaralinri phenomenon. Six times the noise was distinctly he a —the fifth was somewhat faint ; the sixth was o r ' powerful ; and th en it ceased, and those who had been listening in painful suspense again drew their breat.a• But it was only t o i n d u l ge i n fearful speculations as to the nature of this stran ge occurrence, an d to fancy all kin ds of fearful catastrophes, such as cities swallowed UP, or ships destroyed, or nature convulsed by . so me strange agony. To all these fearful imaginings' no ansv,er could be given that night, and u n Wednesday they were again resumed. The gone. cal question was, " Did y ou h ear that strange noi se last night ?" " Yes ; what was it ? It shook r n i, house to the foundation." "It made my china clatter. " Doubtless we shall hear of something dreadful having happen,d in some part of the world," &c., &c. Forte. irately for the public quiet, there were some parties io . the town in a situation t o set t h ese f e ars an d rumour s a' rest, and to give an explanation of the cause of alarm. And a very simple one it was ; for in the mysterious sounds which struck such fear into others, one gentle' man, living at the eastern extremity of the town, recog nised the fulfilment of a pledge made to him by ssthl Captain of an outw a rd-b oun d vessel, that, as h e P u the town, he would give him a parting salute. And he did so—a Royal one of 21 guns—and with the above effee - The vessel in question (the flashes from which were seen by some) stood ab ou t two m il es to the east o f hemp Town, and about eight miles to sea. She was, therefore' ten miles from Brighton. Moreover, she only fired and gun (an 18-pounder, it is conjectur e d) and yet s °10 :„. 2 was the report that the t own was shaken by it, and ho uses situated two or three mil es i n l an d f e l t it. This ma r —, chiefly attributed to the circumstance of the wind blo ing dead on shore, th e soun d b eing thus borne in a body up the valley. It is a s t r iki ng proof of the vast diatan',, which sounds can be carried under particular circ a°l " stances, and also of th e p eacea bl e character of a conun n i : nity which could thus be thrown into consternation by single gun ! What will the French say to it ? W, o , n o f the Prince de Joinvill e smac k hi s l ips at the t h ou ght giving such a warlik e set o f people, who mistake ? pounders for earthqu a k es , a rea l taste of his meta l Alter this, Brighton mus t nee d s h ave such a wa rlike . character as to hold ou t t h e strongest provocation to an attack from this or any other burner of gunpowder ! It may, how e ver, b e some consolation to know t, „ ' 6 , the alarm was no t con fi ne d to Brighton, but exten d ed far as Lanci ng , 8 m il es to the west, and Newhaven to t; , ; east. We beli eve th ere i s some regulation to limit t he practice of firing a t sea ; an d the alarm produced on t"" hie occasion shows the necessity of it.
