QUEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday a middle aged man, named Joseph
IVilliams, a private in the second battalion of the
Coldstream Guards, was placed at the bar before
Mr. MARRIOTT, charged with violating the person
of Martha Allchurch.

The prosecutrix, a very intelligent little girl, 10
years and three months old, stated that she lived
with her father and mother, ut No. 23, Little Chapel.
street, Westminster. The prisoner and his wife
lodged in the same house, About five weeks ago,
the prisoner called her into a room and then
fastened the door. The witness here, detailed the
prisoner's conduct, (which is unfit for publication);
she called out for assistance, but all the lodgers were
gone out. The prisoner afterwards told her to put
the kettle en, and went away : he never came back.
Witness was afraid to tell her mother.
Mary Allehurch, the mother of the girl, stated
that she discovered that her child was affected by a
certain disease, and on questioning her, she told her
the same story site had just repeated. She took her
to the Westminster Hospital, to be examined by the
surgeons. The prisoner's wife told her that her
husband was diseased,

The prisoner made no defence, and Mr. MARRIOTT
committed him for trial on the capital charge, and
the parties were bound over to prosecute.
There was another charge against the prisoner, for
violating the person of Jane. Coop, aged nine years,
the daughter of a private in the same regiment.
The evidence was not so conclusive as in the first
case, and be was committed for the misdemeanour
only, on which charge he will be tried, should he be
acquitted on the capital charge.

UN10N.11411.1.
Yesterday one of the police constables of letter
M. division, brought up a man to the office who vo-
luntarily surrendered himself as the murderer of an
individual, some years ago, at or near Manchester.
The policeman stated that while on duty that
day, about twelve o'clock, near St. George's Church,
the man at the bar came up to him and said, " I
mu unhappy in my mind, and I wish to divulge be-
fore a Magistrate the circumstances of a murder
which I committed in the neighbourhood of Man-
chester in 1822. He added that the dreadful act
preyed so much upon his mind that he was wretched,
and that he had now resolved to deliver himself into
the hinds of justice, in order that he might meet
with the punishment he deserved. The policeman
then inquired his name, and be said that it was
Joseph Pratt; and es he still persisted in declaring
himself a murderer, he was taken into custody.
Mr. SWABEY asked Pratt if ho wished to disclose
any thing, remarking at the some time that he was
under no compulsion to 'make any statement that
might tend tacriminate himself.
Pratt—Am I in the presence of Mr. Chambers ?
That gentleman bud some knowledge. of me when
I was employed in a Bank case at Manchester. He
added, that.he should wish to make a fall confession
of a murder which lie had committed in that town,
to the gentleman of whom be had spoken.
Mr. SWADEY could relate what he was anxious
to disclose before him, and it would answer the
OM purpose. •
Pratt, with great :solemnity .of manner, mid,
" Can Ibe furnished with half a pint-of beer before
I unfold this dreadful tale ? I feel faitivas well as
thirsty, and should feel thankful for that little indul-I
genes before 1 commence."
The Magistrate smiled at the request, but at the
risme time permitted him to have the quantity he
asked for, and no more. Pratt soon despatched the
half-pint of beer, and after he had swallowed it a
deep silence reigned throughout' the office, in the
'expectation that be would then relate the " dread-
ful tale." He, however, remained as silent as the
rest, until at length the Magistrate Milted him if he
. writ desirous of saying any thing upon the subject
on which he had voluntarily surrendere4 himself?—
Pratt muttered " I am mute fromehatinacy."
The office being exceedingly full of people, the
Magistrate order that Pratt might be taken into the
private room, as he 'teemed averse to disclose the
particulars oftheMUider which hi confessed to the
polieeman having committed.
In the private room he said, that he had mur-
dered a Mr. Wood, at Manchester, but refused to
disclose more.
The Magistrate directed that he should be kept
in custody until inquiries were made at Manchester
;relative to the murder of the individual named by
Pratt, who was accordingly remanded until a fu-
ture day.

Some difficulty is said to exist as to which of
the two Palaces to proceed with! there not being fund' for
the immediate completion of both. At present the work,
tit Pimlico seem pearly et a stand.
It is ssi4 that Dr. GnAY, Bishop: of 'Bristol,
is not inclined to he translated to Banger. This how-
ever, will not prevent the promotion of Dr. Pnu.rcerrs.
It is expected that the Bishop of Extras will be lets in-
ilensiLle than the Bishop of Bill/370t to the beauties of North
:Welsh scenery.
