THE MURDER IN CHESHIRE. The adjourned inquest on •the body of James Benclerscrn;s farmer, of Bramall (or, as it otherwise called, " Bramhall"), Cheshire, who was shot while in bed on Wednesday morning last, was held at the Victoria Inn, near the Bramall station of the Mac clesfield Railway. The coroner, Mr. W. Johnson, took_his seat at 10 o'clock. The jury was princi pally composed of farmers, and Mr. Marsland, a landowner of the neighbourhood, was the fore man. Me.- W. P. Roberts, solicitor, Manchester, appeared for James Henderson, deceased's eldest BOn, who was present in custody. The police de scription of the prisoner is—" height, sft. 4in.; com plexion, light ; eyes, hazel, sharp and deeply sunk in the forehead ; hair sandy ; cheeks very hollow." He was brought from the Stockport county lockup in a cab by Mr. Superintendent Andrews and Mr. Little, deputy constable, of the Cheshire County Constabulary, A considerable crowd of country people, many of whom must have been known to him, were congregated round the door on his arri val, and on alighting from the vehicle his lips quivered and he appeared somewhat nervous. The township of Bramall is composed of scattered de tached farms and cottages, and the population is about 1,800 in number. The scene of the murder is about three-quarters of a mile west of Braman hall, the seat of Col. Davenport, the owner of the farm, which is an ancient brick and timbeiman sion, said to have been erected in the reign of Richard M. The jury -room was exceeding crowd e 1 with people, some of whom had come from Stock port, and many of them from the village of Hazle grove, which is only a couple of miles east, and Cheadle, about the same distance west, of the township. Michael Maluckney, sworn.—l am a farm la bourer, and was in the service of the late Mr. Hen derson at the time of his death. I lived on the farm, and slept in the granary with John Dillon, a fellow servant. It will he 15 weeks to-morrow since I entered his service. On Tuesday night last, Sept. 29, I went to bed at half-past 8 o'clock, and Dillon did the same. I was awoke about 2 o'clock. I suppose it was by the prisoner, who called from the kitchen or pantry for me to get up quick. I commenced dressing. My sister also lives as ser vant there, and she and the prisoner came and called again soon afterwards, and desired me to " come down smart," and not to dress. I and Dil lon then went down and found the prisoner in the kitchen with a gun in his hand. The prisoner's brother Thomas was there, my sister, and Blaize, a servant lad. Prisoner asked if we had heard any thing, and we said, we did not. He said, " Come up stairs, there are robbers about the house." I went up stairs, but we (James, and Thomas, and I) first went into the cellar. e found that there was no one there. He then said, " Come upstairs and we'll try the rooms." We all then went up stairs. James (the prisoner) then went into one of the bedrooms, but not that in which deceased lay. He had a candle and only looked inside that room, and then he went into deceased's room. The door was not open, because I saw him raise the latch. We followed him in, his brother Thomas following first, and then myself and Dillon. The prisoner said, " Come on out, my father is killed." He had not been up by the side of the bed, but he went a little past the foot of it. He did not touch his father, nor did Thomas. We then left the room. No search was made to see if anything had been taken. The prisoner then went into his mother's room, and I heard him tell his mother his father had been killed. I did not go into her room, and did not hear whether she made him any reply. I did not hear any shriek nor any expressions ofgrief. We next went down to the back kitchen door, when the prisoner gave the gun to his brother to fire, and Thomas discharge t two shots, one after the other, outside the kitchen door. The prisoner thm took us into his siting room, and showed us his leather desk (like that ;produced), which had been broken open. He went and examined the desk, and said, " Here's where my money was, and it has been taken out." I think he said there was 151. 10a. We all then went into the kitchen, and the prisoner and Thomas told us (me and Dillon) to go and dress ourselves ; we did so, and returned. We found the prisoner and Thoma , , when we returned, in the beck ki:c'ieu, and Dillon was sent with Thomas to fetch the po lice. The prisoner and I remained by the kitchen fire to guard the house. While I was the e my sist-'r came down. The plisouer asked me out after the others had gone—about five minutes after—to look at my bedroom door, which is outside the house. He said, " Come Mick, let.'d go look at ' your door." He bad a light in his hand, and went up to the steps to the doorbefore me. I was open ing the door to go in, and he s,id, " Oh, Mick., look what's in your door," awl he gat hold of a piece of woad that was s„ur2k in the latch. [The door is fastened outside by a wooden latch, and persons inside could only open it by putting one finger through a hole under the latch.] The piece of wood he showed me sticking in the latch, was about the size nowshown tome. I said" Oh, James, what put this here ?" and he said, " That's a bit of wood put there to keep you in." We returned to the kitchen, an I soon after the prisoner asked me to come from thefire into the b tck kitchen. He told me to stop there while he went to look about the hedges and ditJbe , , and I did se. He took no light with him, nor any weapon. He remained away nearly half-an-hour. When he returned he asked me ti go up.,ta'rs with him, and I went into his own bed, own with him. He went to his drawer or box, I cannot say which, and he pulled out some papers and put them into his pocket. He did not go into deceased's chamber again, but went down stairs to the fire. Here he pulled a quantity of pa pers out of his pocket and throw them into the fire and burnt them. One of the pieces fell out an Ihe got hold of i; and put it into the fire again. My sister Nancy was present at the time. - The prisone-, who was taking notes at a table behind his att irney, here hande 1 a atip cf his notes to Mr. RobJit , , but the latter founded no question upon it. Witness continued—l hive seen decmsed and the prisoner- together in the harvest, but I never saw them speak together. I never heard them speak together at meals, but the old man usually toll( his meals alone. By Mr. Roberts—lt was nut lung after we were called befere we went into the cellar. I should think it might be five minutes, but not much more. I never saw the old man and the prisoner t )ge ther, or talk t )„oether, boat I h.tve seers the whole of the rest of the family walking together and t.*lking. By the tiunner—The old wan was not there then. I never saw them speak togeth r. I never saw any falling out among them, but they never spoke. By Mr. Roberts—Toe deceased was a good, ten der-hearted master, and kind father to his children. All of them, so far as I saw, were well-behaved to him. The prisoner used to go out at 8 o'clock to Alanchst.:T every m , ruing, and so inet,mes returned at 7 o'clock, or, I,ter, in the evening. The old min used to rise at half-put 4 sometimes, and went out with us milking. Don't know what time the pri soner usually rose in the morning;. Thy fire wAs low when the prisoner put, the paper in. By the. Coroner—He did not put anything else on the tire besides the papers. By Mr. Roberts—Did you sag any diff3rence be tween the conduct of James with his father and the others ? The Coroner thought this was not a proper ques tiiin, and asked. the witnesi whether the other mem .bers of the fathily talked with the father. .r• Witness said, the others talked With the father a good deal. By Mr. Roberts—Never. saw any differance be tween the conduct of James and other members of the fami'y towards the father, except that these two never spoke together. James (the prisoner) never attended .to the farm business as far as I saw, but when he came home at night he would talk to us. • John Dillon, firm labourer, sworn—l had ,been in deceased'sr service 14 or 15 weeks, and slept on Tuesday night last with Mainckney. ..I was called 'tip at the same time with my felloW-servant. I only put on my . trousers. James said when we got into the kitchen that there were robbers about. "Went upstairs with James, , and Thomas, and Michael, and Nancy, and Blaze. James went into a bed-room, and returned, and went , into his father's room. The door was shut, but I cannot say whether it was latched. He went to theend •of Ole bed, or a little beyond. it. He went furthe.t into the i menu. He did not examin e the body or touch it ' He said either, " My father is kill ' or cc m y . fa,ther"firetot," but I am not sure wl e li d Ct: in deceami's bedroom, No cfur ther search was made we Came' out and prisoner went into ilia m oni o , th an e ' bedroom, and told his married sister, Mrs. Earl r 3 , that his father had been killed. I and Malucknthe" afterwards went to dress, and I went for the police.Y John Bld7e or R'ease _sworn—l am a farnala bourer, and'eutered the service of the demased lest Monday weak. I slept in the attic with a servant boy, and Thos. Henderson slept in the same roe Tuesday night about 8 o'clock, nd . I went to beaoil ri . the boy with me. About two o'cl o c k in t h e m ru ing I heard the discharge of firearms. I he trg a second discharge directly afterwards. I then go ,out of bed and commenced dressin7. Thomas, who sad got out immediately before I did, was also dressing. I heard nothin g after the second report —no noit e of any kind. afterwards heard James call Thowas. and say, "Thomas, there's robbers in the hottse." Thomas went dow n firat, and I followed directly. When I got to the second landing, upon whichf the bedrooms of the first floor open, I saw the prishner James standing at his bedroom door, and he 'had a double barrelled gun in one band and a candle in the other, and said there were robbers in the house. The candle flame was full, as though it had been lighted some time. He was in his night gown. He had no nightcap on. I observed, as we stood on the landing, that deceased's door was shut. I went down with James and Thomas into the kitchen, the prisoner James carrying the gun. I did not hear him charge the gun again. When we got down some one said the kitchen door was open. I looked and found it so. After this James knocked for the Irish men-servants, a n d they ca me I shortly afterwards. We then searched the house, Thomas and Michael going into the cellar, and we then went upstairs. We went into deceased's bed room last, and found that he had been shot. No examination or search of the room was made. I afterwards returned to bed, being very cold. I did not see the gun charged again after 1 came down. By Mr. Roberts—Never before saw the brace produced. [This was a piece of a pair of braces with a spot of blood on them, said to have been found in the farmyard yesterday by a Mr. Smith.] It was not a minute after the first report of firearms that I heard the second. It was not more than half a minute. Nancy Maluckney sworn—l lived as servant to the deceased at the time of his death, and had been there better than three months. I went to bed on Tuesday night after the men-servants, leaving Jane and her mother up, and also the prisoner. Thomas was not then in the house. The first thing I heard in the morning was the prisoner crying out that robbers were in the house. I slept in one of the attics alone. I had heard no report of firearms. I came down and saw the prisoner in the back kitchen, and afterwards went upstairs with them. I went into the room where deceased lay, but cannot say whether the door was open or shut. I heard the prisoner say afterwards to his sister that his father was shot. On a Sunday, when there was company, I have seen James and his father and family in the sitting-room together. I never saw them sit toge ther alone. I 'Lave seen Thomas and his father talking together, but never saw James and his fa ther talking together. By Mr. Roberts—James used to take his meals often in the sitting-room. All the family were friendly together. I never heard any quarrelling. The old man was a little hasty, but I never took any notice. I never saw the broken braces pro duced. I do not recollect seeing James and his father ever walking alone together in the fields. All the family used to dine together on Sundays. George Oswald Andrews, superintendent of po lice, sworn—l received information of this murder between 3 and 4 o'clock on the morning of Wednes day last, Sept. 30, and went to the spot immediately after. I met with the two brothers, James and Thomas Henderson, at the house. I had taken Sergeant Cooper with me. I said, " You have had something serious here." James said, " Yes." I said, " Have they taken anything?" and he said, " Yes, they have broken open my writing-desk and taken 14i. 10s. in gold." The sitting room door was open, and I went in. James pointed to the writing-peak produced, which lay open on the table. He pointed where the money was taken from, and he picked up the brass fastening, saying it had been broken from the writing case. We had a candle, but I made a slight examination of it only. I then locked the door and brought away the key. In the passage I asked how the entrance had been effected, and James said that he had found the back door open, and that he supposed some one must have got in during the early part of the night, concealed themselves in the cellar, and after the family had gone to bed had let ~ ,the rest of the gang into the house. He had been up last, seeing all the doors fast ; that he went to bed about half-past 12, an I thought he heard a shuffling noise, which caused him to turn several steps back, ut all was then quiet and he went to bed. Myself and James and Th enas and one or two officers then "went upstairs, and James pointed out a pane of glass on the land ing broken by his having shot at a man he saw standing on the stairs. I said, "Did you think you hit him?" He said, " Yes, for be uttered an excla mation as if hurt." I examined the lauding where the man was said to have been standing, but could find no traces of blood. We then went to the next landing to James's room, and at my oiliest he got the double-barrelled gun and showed me the position in which he stood when he fired. I asked what was the very first thing he lie trd, and he said the report of firearms in his father's room, upon which he sail he jumeed out of bed, seize 1 a gen that was against the drawers, opened his bed r. o n doo-, and, seeing the outline of a mxn against the window ou the landing, he immediately fired at him. I said, "ad you not call out before you fire 1, 13. - !caus-) it might have been your brother or some one of the family." He said, " No, I did not." I aske 1 what next took place, and he said he could see a lig'at from hia father's room, but the moment he fired it was extinguished and two men ruche 1 out down the stairs, anti he believed from the noises there we:e two or three persons outside the house. He said the feet of all the men were muffled. I then went into deceased's room. I found the deceased lying upon his back in bed with a severe wound on the face, the face blackened as if from an exp!osi al of powder, and I noticed that the features were placid, so that I formed the opi nion that he must have been shot while asleep. His arms lay upon his chest and were crossed. A t.i.hle that stood under the window was pointed out by the prisoner as the place where the old man kept his money. I found the top locked, and the table had no appearance of having been distur'ce 1. Tee room struck ma as in a remarkabie st ete of neat wee and order, considering what I had heard ha t liken place. There was a piece of carpet by the bedside which not been d stuleed. I then locked tine room and went to make inquiry at S.e_ ck port about a discharged man-servant. I returned a,i,oat 9 o'clock in company with Messrs. Graham anti Son, surgeons, of Stockport, and called their particular at'enion to the position of the body as to whether deceased hal been shot while asleep. I th n mede a search of the b=dclotht s, and picke I up about 12 pieces of paper on the body and bed and side of ti 'e bed, which appeared to have le.;eu used as the wadding of the firearms with which deceased was shot. They arc b'aelet ned with l owder and singed. They are now produced in :he state in which I found them. They were in places where they might le expected to be found if a gun ha - I been discharged at the deceased, at or near the foal of the bed. I also produce two teeth .found there. I then male a minute search upon the stairs where James had said the man stood that he tired at. I WAS aisisted iu this search by Ser geent Hammond, and we picked up a number of pellets that had been flattened wi h the discharge sgainst the wall, and Sergeant Ilemmoud picked up what apps ars to have been the waddin g of the gun and handed it t o me. I a ft erwar d s found in the prisoner's b dream, in the chamber-pot, two pel lets. Mr. Little, the deputy chief-constable, was then assisting me, and 1 sa e him take from the chamber-pot the piece of paper produced, and he took from the same utensil a sp; nt cap. Upon the floor of the chamber I found a quantity of sh )t and anothcr spent cap. These I produce. 12 of the shut or pellets, and 12 of the flattened pellets found on the stairs I delivered to Mr. John Graham, arid saw him compare them with pellets he had in his p seession (taken from the body of deceased) and weigh them t , gelier, 12 of each, and they were pric!sely the same weight. In the dressing-room I found a numb.tr of publications called "Tile Cot tage Girl, or the Marriage Day." A l ort:on of one of these I now produce. The pages are 1,185, 1,186, 1,199, and 1,20 d. On one of the pieces of wad taken from deceased's bedroom were the corners of pages 1,197 and 1,198, the fourth figura being torn off. There is letterpress also on the piece of paper. I produce a perfect number of the same publication, commencing with page 1,185, an ncluding with 1,200 which has been since pur chased. Mr. Roberts said he objected to this as not, evidence. The Coroner overruled the objection. The w:tness continued—lt contains the whole of the page 1,198, and on comparing the pieces of paper found in deceased's room with this perfect copy of the work I find many of the words ou each, and on comparing the wadding found on the stabs, and the piece of paper found in the chamber-pot iu the prisoner's room, I find they contain the same matter as that on the lower parts of the same page. I examined the door of the granary, and found the pieces of woad now produced, one being : ,in the latch and the other at the bottom of the steps, being picked up by police-constable Smeaton. The prisouer, James Henderson, was not at home at this time. Before I left the first time he said he was cashier to a firm in IVlanches'er ; that it was of importanca he should go down there, as he had keys and books that would hinder the business. I told him there could be no objection to his going, but desired him to get back as soon as possible to assist in the inquiry. He rerurned in'the afternoon, and a, little tree after I told him I would arrest him said o , n , iri tsl a ci e charge of committing th's murder. He stron g what grounds r' I said Ground s o f t lined till th e Very well master ' F a IspciBon, and you will be le He said, "-, been furtherinvestigatea., mother'?" I said lie might,sue I may speak to my 11).-1 he went to ask her to get him a cup of toi tookHetooksilverfrom from her p n ay si s lvi run r de , and found to be 7/. 10s. in gold, which he said he had from his Thomas,brothert.oi which the latter said he had given him bills. By Mr. Roberts—l searched about the house that morning, and had several officers about and around the premises making a minute searchduring that and the following day. My attention was not drawn to any footsteps. Two days afterward., I heard there was a faint mark of a clog under the window at one end of the house, but knowing one of the servants had clogs on I thought it of no importance so long after the murder. I noticed also two ladders that were in the orchard to get fruit with. One of them would reach the window referred to. From the quantity of blood which had flowed from the deceased I should say a person standing close by the side of the bed would be likely to be sprinkled with it. Deceased lay with his head on the pillow, and from the mouth a stream of blood extended over the side of the bed and on to the floor, where there was a pool of it partly by the side of the bed, and partly under it. By the Coroner—ln deceased's waistcoat pocket, hanging at the foot of the bed, I found a key which opened the table drawer, and there I found an order for 1001. on the Bank of Scotland, a bank receipt for 931. and five sovereigns and 9s. in silver and copper money. In one of the pockets of de ceased I also found a shilling. [At this stage of the inquiry the coroner and jury retired and had some refreshment. The pri soner also partook of some. During the whole of the inquiry the prisoner sat at a table supplied to him for the purpose, and took notes of the evidence. He wrote suggestions also for questions by his solicitor.] _ _ On reassembling, one of the 15 jurymen (Mr. John Lees, of Bramhall) was missing, and the coroner said he should not proceed with the inquest until he was present, and that he should report his conduct to the Home Secretary. The missing juryman was accordingly sent for, and fined 403. At the time we dispatched our parcel the inquiry was again about to proceed, and we understood that, besides the medical witnesses to be called, there was other very important evidence to be given, showing the animosity which has for a very long time existed, between the prisoner and his lather and also to prove the abstraction by the prisoner from his father's possession of the lease by which the farm is held of Colonel Davenport. The lease, was given to the witness by the prisoner last March, who will also, if his evidence is admitted, prove that the father had, on one occason, been violently beaten by the prisoner. The village is in a very excited state. (Br THE ELECTRIC AND INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPH.) VERDICT OF WILFUL MURDER. A verdict of " Wilful Murder" has been brought in by the jury against the prisoner James Hen derson. THE FRATRICIDE IN LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 6. At the police-court this morning William Jones was again brought before Mr. J. S. Mansfield, the stipendiary magistrate, charged with having stabbed and killed his brother, Robert Jones, during a quarrel in their own house in Trowbridge-street on Sunday night. The keeper of the Bridewell stated that the prisoner was taken to the Bridewell about a quar ter before 12 o'clock on Sunday, the officer who had him in custody stating that he was charged with killing his brother. Witness asked whether the man was dead ; and the pi isoner replied, "Yes, dead enough." Witness then said, " Jones, you are charged with stabbing and killing your brother. You need not say anything, without you wish to do so, and what you do say will be given in evi dence against you." He replied, " I was obliged to do so ; he forced me•to it ; he struck me first in the face." Witness then saw blood about his face, and that his hand was cut. Witness drew the prisoner's aVention to the latter circumstance, and be said " they (meaning his brothers) cut my hand." About two hours after the prisoner was brought to the Bridewell witness visited him in the cell with offic:ir 193, when the prisoner told him that two of his teeth had coma out, and he found one on the floor. The surgeon (Mr. Allen) who had received the ho ly of the deceased at the infirmary, described the nature of the wound, which he said was about four inches in depth, penetrating to the heart. The wound wa3 the cause of death. It was also shown when the quarrel commenced the prisoner was using the knife at the table, getting his supper. M 7 -. Mansfield said th 3 case was as shocking as it could well he, but it clearly did not amount to more than mansla , ightcr, on which charge he must be c3mnaitted for trial at the asAizep. At the inquest on tha body this morning before the bcrough coroner, a verdict of manslaughter was also re limed. THE SUN, LONEON, WEDNESDAY EVENING OC'T'OBER 7, 1857 POLICE INTELLIGENCB.—Oct.6 .

After some additional evidence, the prisoners wcre remanded till to-morrow (this day) week. Application was made for bail, but Mr. Brough ton refused to accede to the request. John Harris, alias Pearce, a man well-known to the police, was charged with having stolen a box and two coats, the property of Mr. O'Sullivan, landlord of the Hope, Stephen-street, Lisson-grove. It appeared from tie evidence that at one o'clock that worniug toe prisoner and two others who were with him were standing at the bar of the house, and in a short time Braham, 302 D, who, with two more of is had kept watch upon the movements of the party, saw prisoner go up stairs. Walker, 184, and Jerome, 293 D, went up in search of prisoner, and on the first landing the window leading to the wash house was found open, and a box and two coats were discovered on the raid landing, the articles having been stolen from the prosecutor's bedroom. Pri sin* r, who had escaped over the wall, and,upon whose hand was blood (th-re was blood also on the box), was shortly afterwards taken into custody, in Stephen's-court, by the officer Braham. The prisoner was remanded for a wetk. CLERKENWELL.—Johu Lowe, 24, a horse keeper, residing at 6, Camden-passage, Islington green, was charged with committing a &Ines of violent assault:. Air. James Rodgers, landlord of the Barnsbury Castle public-hou-e, York-place, Barnsbury, said— La,,t night, bet wean the hours of 6 and 7, the pri soner, whom he had never seen before, entered his house and asked to be serves with some beer. He being the worse for liquor, his (the prosecutor's) daughter refused to st rre him, and he then made use of the most disgusting and abusive language. When the prisoner was asked to go out he refu-ed to do EO upon which he proceeded to turn him out. When he was put outside the door, :prisoner picked up a large flint stone, and struck , him a tre mendous blow on the face with it, cutting his nose and blacking one of his eyes.. A number of persons came tJ his a , sistance, and the prisoner blacked the eyes of more than a dozen others. Mr. Charles Coulson said he was at the Barns bury Castle, and was rendering assistance to the last witness, when the prisoner bit one of his knuckles, and bit through another of his fingers. Mr. E. T. Foreacre said he "helped to push that gentleman out of the house" (meaning the prisoner), when he was struck on the left eye, which was blackened in consequence. It was stated by - the prosecutor that several per sons were most grossly assaulted by the prisoner. Police-constable Marsh, 170 N, took the prisoner into custody, and on his way to the station he threw him down twice, and also kicked him. The prisoner, in defence, said he was extremely sorry for what he had done, and begged to be for given, as he was the worse for liquor. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was a perfect brute and a very dangerous fellow. He should for the firA assault fine him 205., or 14 days' imprison ment ; 51., or two months, for the assault on Mr. Coulson ; 10s., or a week, for the assault on the polies constable ; and 205., or 14 days, for the as sault on Mr. Foreacre. _ The prisoner was locked up in default.

French, late cook at the St. Pancras Work house, residing at 61, College-street, Camden Town, who stands charged with stealing 841bs. of moist sugar, the property of the directors and vestry of the parish of St. Pancras, surrendered to his bail before Mr. Tyrwhitt, for further examination on the ahoy() charge. Mr. Humphreys attended for the prosecution and Mr. Lewis for the defence. The facts of theformer examination have already appeared in this journal. An arrangement having been come to between the respective solicitors, no evidence was taken yesterday, but it was agreed that it should be fully gone into next week. The prisoner having renewed his recognisances. two bail in 151. each, and himself in 30/., he was discharged. Elizabeth James, a respectably-attired young woman, said to be well connected, a housemaid in the employment of the proprietors of the Great Northern Railway Hotel, King's-cross, was charged with stealing at the same place six pocket handker chiefs, a gold pin, one shirt, and other articles, the property of Dr. Talbot, lately residing in the hotel. Mr. MacPhail attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Lewis, jun., for the defence. From the evidence it appeared that on Sunday week last, when Dr. Talbot was leaving for Brus sels, he told the chief of the hotel that he was per fectly satisfied with all but one thing, and that was because there were thieves in the house. As soon as that gentleman had left, the head, waiter had all the females' boxes searched, but the prisoner seemed rather to object. In the box owned by the prisoner were found the six pocket-handkerchiefs and the neck-tie, but the pin could not be dis covered. She then said that she had found the articles in the fireplace, and, not knowing to whom they belonged, had taken them to her room. Police cons,ahle Andrews, 86 S, was called, and upon making a further search he found a shirt and a pair of silk braces, which belonged, it is suspected, to a gentleman who formerly lodged the hotel. After some further evidence, Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner until Satur day next. Upon the application of Mr. Lewis, the prisoner was admitted to bail. WORSHIP-STREET.—Wm. Shaw and Wm. Whiting, boys 11. years of age, were charged before i‘lr. D'Eyncourt with throwing missiles on to the North London Railway, under these circum stances : About a week since the urchins were brought to this court by some of the officials of the railway station near Dalion, from whose evidence it ap peared that while a down train was passing beneath t . te arch of that bridge, the defendants were dis tinctly seen to drop two large pieces of brick, which fell close to the engine -driver, who calling to the plate-layer, they were perceived and taken into custody. On this evidence they were remanded, and their parents being now in attendance, further testimony to the same effect was received, in reply to which the boys admitted that it had been their intention to drop the bricks down the engine chimney if they could, but had tried ineffectually. Mr. Hurlston, the chief clerk of this court, and who resides at Rampstead, mentioned that he had occasion to know this description of offences was Brea. 1y on the increase, and particularly on the line in question. Very recently one of the firemen re ceived severe injuries on the head from some missile thrown or di opped from a bridge or embankment. This statement was verified by a servant of the company. Mr. D'Eyncourt—This is manifestly becoming matter of very serious character. The evil i s groW ing' and something must be done to put a stop to it. The loss of life might ensue, and not anyone can determine where the michief might end. I shall make an example of these lads, and I do trust that publicity may be given to it. Let bills be posted along the line as a caution. The next person brought before me I will assuredly send for trial. Now, I will fine the offenders each 40F. or one month's im nrisonment in default. _ The fathers of the children said this seemed a very severe course, and The Magistrate remiuded them that th3ir sons were liable to transportation.

When asked why she had taken Ar G rovg the coat, she replied that that was h er own business. She refused to give any address, and the witness con veyed her to the station-house. The prisoner admitted the facts adduced in evi. deuce against her, but pleaded distress in extenua tion of the offence she had committed. In answer to till magistrate, The prisoner :tated that four years ago she had I;ved in a respectable situation in the Walworth road, but that n she was without a home or a sim z le friend in the world. Tho prisoner further said she would prefer that the case should be dis posed. of here instead of being sent to the sessions. She added that she was guilty, and Mr. Elliott sentenced her to two months' hard tabour in the Wandsworth House of Correct on. SOUTHWARK. John Smith, a porter in the ernpley of the South-Eastern Railway Company, was finally exacainei charged with stealing a large quantity of brass boiler tubing, the property Of the compaariy. Mr. Robinson, . the law clerk to the company, pro secuted ; and Mr. Solomon defended the prisoner. It appeared that about the middle of last month three and a half tons of brass boiler tubing were sent to* the Bricklayer:3' Arms-station, from the com- P . anY's factory at Ashford, in Kent, and 400 weight was missed from the trucks. The prisoner worked at the 'Bricklayers' Arms-station, and he with seine others was allowed to grow vegetables by the side of the line, . not far from where the trucks were left, previous to being discharged of their loads. About half-past son the afternoon of Wednesday, the 23d ult., Thomas Hudson, an inspector of the company's line, went intothe Glouc ester-road, b y: the side of the railway, and saw two men jump over the railing into th e roa d , an d th e prisoner leaving them, and seeing witness, he went and g ot a shovel and commenced digging. W i tness believing that he had just hand e d some thi ng t o the men who had run away, woof after th em , a rid near the fence he p icked new: the s R up a basket containing b rass tubing, co vered with fresh cabba ge l eaves. There wer e cabbages growing formation he t oo k hi m i nto cus tody- Edwardo g ers, a labourer, said that on the Pot where the prisoner was, an d fro m in evening in quest i on he saw th e prisoner, with a basket, near t h e Gl oucester - roa d, and be was put tii tg cabbage•leaves in it. He took no particular to and h j a tu li t tt e 7 a e r before or p e la 5 co in na tree of that, as hothought ho th ere for r tbbit s . was putting th©m dames Smith, a watchman i n the employ of the co npany, said t h a t h e borrowe d the basket in ques tioa for the p r i soner on the morn ing of the 23d ult. returned stoo Benjamin Lovell, an eng ineer employed at the Ashford works, said that the brass tubi n g p roduced pi was portion of a large quantity taken ou t of t he boilers, being worn w h th e e re e t v h e e n t in ru g cks he out, and sent up to London as old.inetal.. The - whole of the metal sent up from Ashf:ord weighed 3 3 . tons, and the rema ; nder had since, been w e i g h e d , when 4 cwt. was missed. Mr. Solomon contended that the prisoner knew nothing of the metal in the basket ; but the magi etrat e, thought otherwise, and committed him for ti ial. ) A CRVIIALIAN MAIL —Amongst the mails on board the India mail packet Indus, n hourly expectedhome, then iai e about 60 boxes of Australian mails.

RDVERTISE]sIENT.I—IL is with pleasure we notice the daily in,rease of cures without medicine of indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver com plaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility, by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica. We quote the follow ing : —Southwick Park, Fareham, Hants, Oct. 31, 1848.-- Gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for your kind attention. When I began taking the Revalenta I was in as deplorable a condition as can well be imagined. I was confined to my bed, and so weak that I could neither stand nor ,walk, suffering severely from flatulency, constipation, and indigestion, and being compelled to have recourse to aperients every second or third day ; and, upon one occasion, I swallowed no less than seven doses within twenty-eight hours, under medical advice. There was a giddiness in my head, and a singing in my right ear, that when I turned my head on the pillow it r esem bled the sound produced by a light touch on a musical glass. I had a pain and sort of fullness across the chest, a sore throat and a slight cough ; but the pain around my loins was so great that I could not remain in the same position for ten minutes all night long. The principal scat of the pain seemed to be just bolow the ribs on my left side, and about three inches from the backbone. I commenced taking Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica morning and evening, boiled in water and salt ; and in less than a fortnight my appetite was greatly improved, and flatulency and constipation so far vanished that I have not tasted a pill or drug of any kind since. I am much stronger, can walk steadier, and less like a drunken man, &c.—JOHN VASS, Land-steward.-- Supported by testimonials from the celebrated Professors of Chemistry, Dr. Andrew Ure ; Dr. Shorland ; Dr. Harvey Dr. Campbell; Dr. Gattiker ; Dr. Wurzer ; Dr. Ingram; Lord Stuart do Decies; the Dowager Countess of Castle. , stuart; Major-Gen.
