Mr. Attorney-General Bliss and Mr. Cobbctt prosecuted, The facts adduced in support erf the prosecution were, that en the day in question the prisoners went into a beer-house, kept by Eliz rbeth Chaloner, at Billince, where they had some beer, for which the prisoner William pail a half-crown, and rec3ived from her 2s. 3d. change. The half-crown was found to be a counterfeit. The prisoners -then went into a beer-hr use kept by Thomas Pigott, where they had some beer, for which one of the prisoners paid half-a crown, receiving from Mrs. Pigott the change. The half crown proved to be counterfeit. Toe prisoners were arrested early on the morning of the 25th, and the prisoner James, on being searched, was found to have two bad half crowns in his waistcoat pocket. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. His Lordship senterced James Horrecks to twelve months' imprisonment, and Horrocks to six months' imprisonment, each with hard labour. CHARGE CF Mr_TßDEß.—:ruses Williams, Level 17, brick layer, Henry Margenson, 2:3, hawker, and efesr•ph Price, 19, labourer, were charged upon a coroner's warrant with the wilful murder of one William Yates, at Manchester. Mr. Brett prosecuted, M. Fearnley defended the prisoner Williams, and Air. Eaton defended the erher prisoners. The deceased was an old man living at Hulrae, and the occurrence which resulted in his death took place on the .23rd of Jul. On that night the deceased was seen in a place called Newell's cellar, in which it was eke-stated that the prisoners were seen, in company with a man named Trainor. After leaving the cellar, deceased was seen about half-past twelve o'cleck in the neighbourhood of Quay-st., Deacseate. Two women saw him at the corner of Quay street, in Deansgate, and they also deposed that they saw the prisoners come up to him.. The prisoner Murgenssu went up to deceased, tripped him op and caught him by the throat, Price got an him and sat upon his chest, and Williams kicked him several times. The -women stared that they heard some money reale, and it appeared that the deceased had at the time about 10s. in his pocket. The prisoners then ran away, but were seen subsequently by a polfcemau in company. Tile deecisFd r ached his Lowe on the folowing morning about fouiw'clock,very much exhaus • ted; and complaining of injuries to his atom tell. He died next day, and upon being examined after death, it was found that he had received stes'a injuries as caused a capture of the iotesrinee, which, with the other effects supposed to arise from the acts of the prisoners, was. citated to have caused his death. There acpeared, however, sores doubtful points in the evidance of tt.e. female witnesses, and some discrepancies in part of their statemeerts. The principal of these witnesses admitted that she never gave information to !he p at the time, and that she„ was not examined before the magistrates at Manchester. -The first time she told her story was before the Greed jury at Liverpool on Saturday last. The Jury acquitted the prisoners. Defendants' Attorneys. h rself used a meal skewer, for the y rurposeen7 proccrirg abortion. On the part of the prisons r, he stated that the only operation performed by him upon. the wama's, was the introducion into the bladder of a fern ale catheter, for the p :rpose of relieving her from a ret , tition of urine, under which -she stated to him she suffered. Mr. Godfrey I ° surgeon, of Finsbury-square, Lone)e n, deposed that be knew the prisoner for years in Lon& in, in tenneetion with a public institution. He gave the pri loner a high character for ability and conduct. The pHs. seer bad acted as his assistant, and was known to him since 1837. This witness also deposed, that when the female, catheter was introduced, according to the usual co nrse, into the bladder of a woman to relieve from a ret elation of urine, the patient commonly felt as if the in strument were passing through the womb. He did not th . ink a wound could be inflicted on the womb, as dssc ribed, by sock an instrument as a ferna'e cc:theft r. He did rot think it possible to introduce tb a larger instrument, the male catheter, into the womb. Mr. Cooper, surgeon, Liverpool, Mr. Leather, surgeon, Lite s-pool, and Mr. Kelly, also a surgeon of this town, ccrrobe rated the evidence of Dr. Godfrey as to the instruments. kir. Kelly stated that the prisoner was a kind and humane man. Anne Alex ander, of 56, Summerseat, Liverpool, midwife, and one of the assistants to the Ladies' Charity, deposed that-on the 14th of June the deceased carve to 1 ter, and told he: she thought she was going to have a mis carriage. Witness, after hearing what the symptoms was •e, asked her why she feared a miscarriage, and deceased told her she had em ployed a skewer to procure abortion, and prevent herself from being disgraced. She told witness she had passed the skewer into her womb, and she showel witness the skewer. Witness kept the skewer, which she producedia court. It was an ordinary culinary utersef% pointed, and somewhat bent. His Lordship said if the jury believed the evidence of this woman, .and that the person who came to her was the deceased, there was an end of the case. The jury accordingly acquitted the prisoner. The prisoner was chorieed on another indictment for felony, by procuring abortion. No evidence, however, was:effered, and the pri soner was accordingly discharged. The Court then adjourned to nine o'clock this (Friaay) mereir.g. 'BEFORE MR. ATTORNEVPS-NrERAL BLISS, Q.C.

FonGerty_nr At; Arroxerny.—John Shattock, 47, attor ney, was. placed at the bar charged with having, at Liverpool, on the 27th March, 1857, feloniously forgerlan acceptance to a eertainbill of exchange for the sum ofnEt,o 10s. 62., with intent to defraud.

They paid him .E 7 10s, the balance of money due, and had a ticket given them in the usual form. Tcey want on board, but whea the pas Trprs were being passed the agents knew nothing of them, and they were, of . course, sent oc shore, and the charge against Montgomery proceeded with. He refused to appear to the summons, and the officer entrusted with the warrant reported that he was not to be foand. Captain Stuart new prayed, under the nth section of the Passenger Act, 1854, that the Court should infl ct a fine, and withdraw his license, Mr. Mansfield ordered a fine of £5O to be recorded against Montgorrry, and his license to be withdrawn ; and if any portion of the fine shall be recovered, the some to be given over to the defrauded passengers.

Tracy and Baldwin, passenger agents, had, ill the kindest and mast humane manner, presented the Duncans and M'Qairk with a free passage in one of their first ships —one now ready for sea. Mr. Mansfield said nothing would be more humane and considerate on the part of those gentlemen, or more fortunate for the poor people. CHARGE or CONSPIRAO7I.-Ntr.

In some time Mr. Worship met Dry, and asked for the money which was not paid, and an action was commenced against him by Mr. Worship at Mac Donnell's suit. He pleaded, and when the action came to be tried, it was foand that Dry's name had barn replaced in the warrant by Penh's. This substi tution was the basis of the charge. Mr. Aspinall ridiculed the idea of a criminal chvgs even if that was stated could be proved. Bat it would not. The truth was that some five aetions had been brought about this piano. [Mr. Cobb : Three only.] Weld, three. They were referred to arbitratloa, and this was an unwarrantable attempt to influence the arbitrator.

The class of zymotic diseases furnished 112 death, of which 56 were from diarrhma (8 adults), 17 from scarletina, 15 from heaping cough, 6 from typhus, 5 small pox, 7 measels, diseases of the longs 51, and 31 of these were from consunsption. Of the whole, 102 were below one year, 179 below 5 years, 57 between 15 and 60, and 26 ab.:Ne 60. Mr. STrrr called attention to the number of deaths from diarrhcea. He wished to know whit cause could be given for these deaths. Perhaps the fruit season had s3methinc , t) do with it; bat he was not prepared t o say that was the only cause. He would move for a return of the number of deathsf rom cliarrlce t for the corresponding week last year, Mr. HJDSON felt retier surprised at Mr. Stitt asking the question, as it wao well known that the disease was very prevalent at this sewn of the year. D. DUNCAN said the deaths for the corresponding wel last year were there than this year; ltst week the thaths were 55 from diarrhcet, and :6 from cholera; bat in the week of the previous year, SS were from diarrhoei. The average for 1848, up to the presest period of that year, had been 51. Lost week the deaths were 55, but allowing for the increased population, he could n o t sa y t h at was above the average. Tne average was 7 from cholera, but now it was reduced to 6. Tutu the average temperature was above 611 degrees; there was always au iccrease of diarrhoea at this season. In reply to Mr. Stitt, Dr. Duncan said he was not prepared to say what the opinions as to the cause o: deaths were. Tae matter then dropped. THE VEST DERBY ROAD. The subject referred to last weelZ - iPwhich it was pro posed to widen the road at the place where the fatal accident to Mrs Gr;rner took place, was again mooted, ani plans for the propo3ed alteration were submitted to the C )mmittee. The mat er was referred to the Finance C immittee. Mr. Cronsdale, of Nedand-street, Evarton, appliei for a license for a slaughter-hoise, but was refused.

The clerk was instructed to write to the Poor-11w Brand, requesting them to o-der an immediate election of guardians in the townships to which they had consented to grant an increase of members.

LOVE AND FEARFUL SUICIDR.--01 Saturday sen., long inquiry took place at the New Inn, Farnborough, before the co.rener for Hinapihire, and a moat respectable jury, on the bogy of a labourer, named Besboroogh, aged eighteen, who came by his death in a dreadful manner. It appeared that the deceased had been keeping company with a young woman, named Yeoman, who is a year younger. thae he was, and that they were mach attached to each other. He was at her house on the previous Thursday nigit, and the mother told the daughter she would advise her not to allex him to come again, as she was ra*.hir in ill-health. Toe deceased left her shout ten minutes to ten, and walked straight to the South-Western Railway, which was about 800 yards from the house. Ho zent on the line, and, extraordinary as it may appear, he stamped his feet down in order that he might stand more se care, and thus, with his back towards London, waited till the mail train came along. The unfortunate man received fearful injuries, which caused instant death. The jury, after a long consultation, returned a verdict of "Tempo rary insanity." poop a more determined aßioide as pew taken place, 1857. THE MURDER OF MR. LITTLE. SPOLLEN'S "PERSONAL NARRATIVE." In yesterday's NOILTHERY TIMES we re3orded the fact, that Spelien, who was lately tried and acquitted for the murder of Mr. Little, was about to present himself to a Dublin audience, at one of the theatres in that city. We are indebted to our cotemporary, the Freeman's Journal, for the following report of what took place at the first two exhibitions. The Freeman thus prefaces this singular, and it would appear, unsuccessful attempt to obtain notoriety and public sympathy : We are gratified to observe that this audacious attempt of Spollen to thrust himself on the public as an "acquitted" hero, met with that contempt from the working classes of our city which our knowledge of their good sense and moral taste led us to anticipate. The artizan class held entirely aloof, to their infinite credit, and the majority of the few persons who were present were citizens, who, with a laudable zeal for the reputation of the Irish metropolis, went for the purpose of swing the city from the disgrace of having it appear that Sp " personal " story of his " persecu tion " excited sympathy, or that his proceedings received encouragement from the working man of Dublin. The humbler classes have saved themselves from this disgrace by staying away, and if anything c ould abash Spollen's unparalleled audacity, the p Anted questions of the gentle men who went in, and the indignati on o f th ose w h o sta id out, must have that effect. At the hour announced for the commencement of the " narrative" (one o'clock) there collected outside the theatre an idle crowd, composed chiefly of children, through which were di'tributed some four or five polic men. On entering the building and proceeding up stairs " lames," the eldest son of Spollen, was found officiating as money-t.iker, and in that capacity occupying the box on the lobby with " pay here" over the hole, through which he issued admission tickets to hear his father's "narrative'' at one shilling each. In the "assembly room" (a small gloomy-looking apartment) were assembled four representatives of the press, whose business brought them there, and two constables in plain clothes. A. stage, furnished with tawdry scenery and the usual appliances, in a decayed state, was fitted up in this room, and on the stage were placed a small deal table and a chair to suit. Up tothe time when the "narrative" com menced, the audience had not increased beyond what we have slated. Subiequently a few persons dropped in, but the number of the .e present at any time during the " nar rative" did not exceed ten, including three or four con stables. Before the proceedings commenced the foot-falls of a person behind the scenes, who was there walking to and fro, were distinctly audible, in the silence of the small room, to the half-dozen who sat outside, and who, with a strange oppressive feeling over them, conversed in whispers whilst waiting for the appearance of Spollen. Al er the lapse of about half an hoar from the time fixed for the commencement af the " narrative," the check-taker advanced to the foot of the stage, and said in a low voice, addressing some person behind the scene, which was fixed so as to allow room in front for the chair and table, " Now, sir, there's some gentlemen here," upon which the foot steps ceased, and in a few sec , nd4 Spollen appeared on the stage. He wore a dark c oat over a blue under garment, black vest and trawlers, and black silk neck-ge. In his hand he carrie 1 some manuscrip\ to which he referred occasionally while speaking. Advancing to the front of the stage, he proceeded with his discourse, which, it will be seen on perusal of the subjoined report, instead of being the prom'sed personal narrative, was simply an ad misericordiain appeal to the generosity of the pub:ie. In a very low but distinct voice he spoke as follows : I have come to lay my case even before those wh o are now present. You are all awa-e of my situation, without means or character—that word character will draw from y m a degree of sympathy that any other man may be on titled to. I need not enter into detaqs connected with my present circumstances ; my object is far the simple pur pose of obtaining the means of leaving the country. In Dublin it would be difficult enough to obtain employment. lam burdeeed with a portion of my family—a young man that is excluded now by the mother—she is deter mined, I believe, not to do anything for him. Taat, you will admit, will be a great weight upon me--a burden, of course, I won't be t able of sustaining without those means necessary for my exit from this country. I have not entered into this without very goal advice, even from the mechanical portion of the city, knowing that the public would cheerfully respond, and give a man menus of leaving the country, which in private I have made application for, but which I have not been able to obtain to the degree that I require. lam not confining auy gentleman that may think proper to the amount of admission. If any gentleman feels anxious to volunteer and contribute, ho is welcome to do so. A. long passage will necessarily entail a heavy expanse, that I am totally incapable of meeting, unless through the present source. There is no one can doubt but that my situation is most deplorable, and it is a pleasing thing, when I reflect upon it, that public sym pathy his gone all through in my favour, as I believe every one will admit. I must, through necessity, seek employment is another country, which I vrould b o denied here. I hope, gentlemen, when you go at large amongst the public, that you will assist me in 'every way you pos sibly can. lam sorry to find that the Free,ngn's Jon -nal (taking up a copy of the paper which lay on the table) has leant a little severe on my case this morning. If we would do anything for ooe anothe-, it should be to assist, and not to throw censure or anything partial in the public way ; bit there are a few little remarks made here—they say : "We have beard mach said and gossiped with regard to Spollen's doings and sayings since a jury of his country men found a verdict declaring him innocent of the charge laid against him, but we abstained from noticing them, being unwilling to drag needlessly before the public a man whose position suggested that the same lenity should be extended to his proceedings after trial, as the law and the jury extended to him when considering the as yet unex plained facts which lei to his arrest, but which the law says could not lead to his conviction. James Spollen has, however, himself appealed to the public, and proposes to parade himself on the boards of Prince Patrick's' for seven hours daily." I deny with regard to " parading" or exhibiting myself; my object is merely to obtain the necessary funds—nothing of the kind. I have been advised strongly to take the present course, as it were to bring the public to one centre, that I might be enabled to obtain, by the unanimous voice of the people, the means which are necessary for me. You must not expect, gen tlemen, from me, an illiterate man anything in the shape of a speech, for it is totally out of my power ; suffice it to say, that you will canvass my object in coining before you with the best possible feelings within yourselves, so as to aid and assist me in leaving the couatsy. I have already romarksd that it is not altogether the incumbranea of myself, but I am encumbered with a por. tion of my family, which necessarily entails a great deal of trouble upon me-- Mr. Fitzpatrier, Dame-street, who had a short time previously entered, observed —" As I see the reporters here, but not the public, I will take the liberty of making a remark. I think the citizens of Dublin are bmnd to show a good example to all the towns of Ireland, and if you allow this man to make a speech here today to obtain money, the consequences will be that he will go to every town in Ireland." Spollen : That I deny, sir, Mr. Fitzpatrick : At all events, the citizens of Dublin will not countenance such a thing. The fewness of the audience shows that the public are so disgusted that they would not come te listen to this man. As a citizen, protest against this teen making speeches here to-day. If you encourage him you will be only holding out a bounty to others to follow his example. I came here to-day de termined to do my bast to show a good example to my fellow citizens. It is a monstrous thing for that man to come forward to make speeches and to expect to have an audience of the citizens of Dublin. You (addressing Spollen) got off through the merc'fal charge of the judge, but there was not a man of the jury that was convinced of your innocence. In the evening Spolien male his "second appearance," the audience being exceedingly limited, not, at any period, number'ng ever twenty, and a large proportion of those appeared to be persons connected with the theatre. His "narrative" was of the same unconnected character as that given in the - earlier part of the day, and consisted princi pally of evasive replies to the several interrogations ad dressed to him by the different persons present. In reply to a question he said he was an Iri;hman, and was in Dublin for the last 25 ye re Hs was born in Ferns, in the county of Wexf ird, and had been in England for a considerable time. His wife was from Newtownmount kennedy. None of his relations were in Ireland (save his o wn immediate family), they had emigrated to Li;tle Albany, North America. Another gentlemen, addressing Spollen, sail the citizens of Dubin were too moral and religious to have any sym pathy with him as he then stood. Thera were two courses left open to him—the first, to establish his innocence by giving such explanations as would clear away the doubts that existed. Tile second, to come forward and confess his guilt, if guilty. That, course, he was aware, would not in the least commit him, as he had been acluitted of the charge which had been brought against him. Having confessed his guilt, and throwing himself on public sym pathy as a repentant man, he (the speaker) was sure he would obtain forgiveness from God and man. The speaker concluded by telling Spollen that he should adopt either of these courses before he could expect to receive the sympathies of a Christian community. Spollen :,;What coarse am I to adopt ? At this mom eat James Spollen, jun., rushed forward and addressed his father in a most exciting manner, telling him not to be answering these persons. The same gentleman asked if he could put his hand upon the man who had conspired with Mrs. Spollen, as it was the duty of him (Spollen) for his own sake, and for the ends of justice, to point out the guilty party ? To this question Spollea returned some incoherent reply, which was not audible. A well-dressel person, who had been rather troublesome, and who had bean addressing Spollen in anything but complimentary language, had to be removed by the police at this stage of the " narrative." During the evening a large crowd of persons congre gated outside the theatre, who, it was evident rrom their expressions, ware the reverse of friendly to the narrator, and highly incensed against the entire proceedings, so much so that at the conclusion of the proceedings Spollen found it necessary to takeihis departure privately through the re r of the theatre. James Spollen, jun , here entered the room, and inter rupted Mr. Fitzpatrick by saying, in a sturdy manner, " I beg your pardon, sir, did you pay to come is ?'' Mr. Fitzpatrick : I did, sir. Spollen, jun : Well, sir— Mr. Fitzpatrick : Oh. I won't be stopped.

I hope the citizens will do as I have done. I won't hear you Splien, senior : Just answer me one question 7 Mr. Fitzpatrick: The jury have acquitted you, and I cannot say anything. Spollen, senior : Answer this question. Supp3se I wag the most guilty man in existence, would you run me into a hole to starve? Now answer that humane question. Mr. Fitzpatrick : Upon my word, I would run you into where you would be away from the public, that you might not do further mischief. Spoiler; senior : That is not a very Christian opinion. Mr. Fitzpatrick: The Lard Mayor ought to stop those proceedings, and I sincerely h ipe that he will do so. Spollen, senior : I hope it will not be the case. Mr. Fitzpatrick : At any rate there is no one to listen to you nor ; so I may now go away. Mr. Fitzpatrick then left the room. Spollen who had been standing up to this, then drew the chair to the side of the stage and sat do wn, and, after a pause, said in a low voice —" I think that is Mr. Fitzpatrick, the grocer of Dams-street—his ebulition of temper is not vary Christian, but I will put my case before the goads men present. What am Ito do ? (Hera he paused as if for a reply, and then continued)—What would you have a man to do under the circumstances ? I think it is a very hard case. Were it no, for the incumbranee of my family it would bs easy for me to retire, and go into one of the poor houses. (Spollen paused here for a censiderable time, wiped his eyes with his handkerchief, and, after a time, went on W say) —I thought it would have been the object of every humane gentleman to assist me in leaving the country, and not show the display Mr. Fitzpatrick has used now. (Another lengthened pause occurred here.) There is no gentleman present but will admit it would be the best course for me to leave the country if I only got the resources to do it. My object in coming here was not to make any particular display any m ire than to bring the public to one sentiment to give me the means that I require. I made a request some time ago of the gentle men of the press when at the police court, and I must say they responded to it chaerfully—thet was, not to put forth any injurious reports. I hope they will observe the same this time. lam sure their object in coming here was rather to assist me and not to do anything that would be injurious to me in public opinion. lam deprived of every means. By taking this step I can't bring myse:f into more public notoriety than what my trial has done ; but " if I remain in this country you all know what the con sequence will be. Even though I was the guilty man -supposing that I was the guilty man, it is a most dreadful thing that the sacred bond of matrim:my should be destroyed by my wife. I have nothing more to say to you. It was not my object in bringing the public together to make any display. I hope, gentlemen (rising up), you will temper my case before the public leniently. I think you will admit I am deserving in some way of support. You will admit that Mr. Fitzpatrick's display One of the gentlemen present here interrupted Spollen. to whom he said--you did not answer Mr. Fitzpatrick's question, as to who told your wife where the money was ; explain that now. Spollen : It would be el:fa-rah to explain what the police could not find out; that is totally out of my power. The Gentleman : You did not say you were innocent? Spollen : I held forth my innocence; but, as I said before, even though I were the guilty man The Gentleman: Who put the money there, do you know? Spollen : Nothing, whatsoever, sir. The Gentleman : No suspicion of any one ? Spollen . No suspicion whatever. There may be rlomestic fights that it wou:d not be va y feeling to me to enter into an explanation of—perhaps it is more honourable that I sh hold them, aad that they should remain with my self. My position is a very severe one. Another person present here observed : It does not appear to annoy you much at any rate, for of all the cool audacity I ever witnessed, your's is the greafest. I paid a shilling to see how far your audacity would carry you. Now I sea it, and if there was a subscription got to buy you a rope I would subscribe. I ant proud to see th it the working public did not come here. [ I'his person left the room when he had concluded.] tipollen : I:if course some must be dissenting parties. This much I think, the puhlic will be inclined to assist a man to leave the country. That is the only object I have in coming forward. I am sure the public would rather that, than to have a man knecking about the country. Arm her person present obsereed hat he did not wish to say anything that would affect Spollen, but that the result of that day's peoceelings should show him the feeling of the public on the matter. The gentleman who had ques , ioned Spollen before here said to him : You get the eight sovereigns that ware produced at the trial. Way did not you go off with them ? S i nnott.: What would you have me do with that portion of my family The Gentleman : Your son is as well able to work as yourself. Spollen : Where will he get work —will he get it in this country ? He will not. The Gentleman : Beth of you could have got to America with the money. Spollen: Would you have me walk about the streets of New York without a shilling, to be worse off than I am now. Take a view of it in every way. Would I not be worse off than I am—would you like to sea a man knocked about? lam sure you would not. Now, gentlemen, I leave my case in your hauls, and I hope you will not make it worse. It is a little thing will seeva a good deal certainly, and a little thing will injure a great deal. I put, it to your owe consideration to do anything you possibly can to serve me. I will not detain you any longer, gentlemen. Tne small audience then retired, without re4pending to Spollsn's invitation to "volunteer and contribute."
