MICLETIIWA ITE V. 111CKLE1IIWAITE.

Mr. CRESSWELL moved for a rule to show cause why an award made
between the parties in this case should not be set aside. It appeared
thar they entered into bonds of submission, by which all matters in dif.
fe were referred to three arbitrators, with power to them or any two
of r
themen e
to make an award. One of the arbitrators appointed never at
c
tended any meeting, was never invited to attend, and was not consulted
about the award, which was made by the other two, who directed the
clef endant to pay to the plaintiff a sum amounting to nearly 5,0001.
Rule granted.

THE WEATHER.

The severity of the weather has much increased. Last night, at
eight o'clock, the mercury had fallen to sixteen degrees below freezing
point. There was a great quantity of floating ice and snow in the river
yesterday. The fixed ice below bridge extends to the tiers of shipping.
The repairs going on at Blackfriars.bridge have caused an immense ac-
cumulation of ice on the south shore, extending to nearly the centre
arch. Off Hungerford-market and the adjoining wharfs the barges ale
embedded in ice for a distance of fifty or sixty yards. The piles of the
coffer-dam for the new Houses of Parliament have been the means of
stopping the floating ice at that part of the river, and it now extends a
considerable distance from the shore. Higher up the river there are
also immense banks of snow and ice, which are increased every flood and
ebb. The navigation appears entirely stopped.
THE PARES.—THE SERPENTINE.—The -extremo fineness of the day
collected a great number of people on the Serpentine, but from the
quantity of snow upon it skating:is almost impracticable, except where
men have been employed in sweeping it off. The skaters as-
sembled were extremely numerous, especially about three o'clock.
A party of about twelve gentlemen exhibited the art with great
effect, and collected a number of fashionables on the bank to wit-
ness their evolutions. The persons who surrounded them on the ice
appeared to be so much engaged with what was passing before their eyes
as to be unconscious of the danger to which they were exposed from
the weight pressing upon the ice, until a loud crack warned them of
their peril, and they hastily rushed to the shore. Soon, however, they
one by one returned until another alarm caused a fresh retreat. A
poor woman who was on the ice fell with such force that her nose was
broken in two places. Mr. Pritchard, the superintendent of the Hu-
mane Society, rendered her every assistance, and after getting the
wound dressed sent her home.

KENSINGTON GARDESIS.—There were few persons in the gardens; the
fashionable resort appeArecl to be the Serpentine. .

ST. JAMES'S PlRC—There were a great number of persons on the ice
of the ornamental water engaged in skating and sliding, but among
them were very few really scientific. _ _

BOW-STREET,-(THIS DAY

DINING LIKE a Loan.—_A young man named William Tue!et was
charge" by George Brariiard, with defrauding him of 55. and assaulting
him.
It appeared from the statement of the complainant, that he was pro.
prietor of the Sun and Panch-bowl public house, High Holborn, and
while, his parlour was full of customers, yesterday evening, the prisoner
walked in like a person " having authority," and after seating himself i❑
the warmest corner of the room, called the waiter to bring in with
all ',risible speed a mutton chop, which instantly disappr,ared with
a pint of the beat Scotch ale. He next ordered the waiter to stir
the tire and bring in a glass of gin and water hot. This was sue-
ceecd by another, without any disposition being evincrd on the part
of the prisoner to fork out the " blunt." The waiter ar:ordingly ac-
quainted his master that he suspeetcd all was not right ; and on Boniface
entering the room, and demanding his reckoning. he was " Oohed
into" right arid left by the prisciner, and as circumstances of a similar
nature had of late too often occurred, lie was immediatiatcly given
in charge.

The prisoner in his delmee said, be was directed by Mr, Wills, a
friend of his, to get his dinner, .od whatever else he wished to call for,
and that he would be responsible for the reckoning, but being irritated

AMUSEMENTS OF THE WEEK.

To the " amusements of the present week" is announced for
Saturday the all-important opening of " her Majesty's
Theatre," which commences with Bellini's favourite opera of
La Sonnambula, in which Madame Persiani makes her debut
in Amnia, and the popular ballet of Masanicllo. To give
effective support in its various departments many new artistes
of the first eminence have been added to the principal fa-
vourites of former seasons. The interior of the theatre,
besides, has undergone complete renovation and embellish-
ment, and the promised novelties of the season are numerous
and of the first order.

At Drury-lane, to-night and Thursday, Mr. C. Kean will
represent Gloster, in Richard the Third; to-morrow Hamlet,
and on Saturday will, for the third time, repeat his performance
of Sir Giles Overreach, in Massinger's play of A New Way
to Pay Old Debts ; to conclude every evening with Mozart's
opera of the Ilfayic Flute.
At Covent Garden, to-night, will be presented Shakspcare's
tragedy of Coriolanus, in which Mr. Macready will appear in
that character; to conclude with 13rother and Sister. To-
morrow night, Bulwer's new play of the Lady of Lyons, with
Rooko's _opera of .Amilie ; or, the Love Test; and on Thurs-
day the tragedy of Coriolanits Will, no doubt, be repeated.
The Adelphi to-night, to-morrow, Thursday, and Saturday,
Rory O'More, with the Black Domino, More Blunders than
One, and the Gnome Fly. On Wednesday and Friday a
grand selection of sacred music.

The Olympic commences to-night with a new burletta,
called What have I done? in which Farren, Keeley, and Miss
Murray play the principal characters ; followed by You can't
marry your Grandmother; One Hour; or the Carnival Ball;
and He would be an Actor.

At the St. James's to-night, the Ambassadress, with the
Culprit, and Jenny Jones.
New City of London Theatre., to-night, Aladdin ; or, the
Wonderful Lamp ; Aladdin, by Mrs. Honey, with My Sister
Kate, and the Wandering Boys; or, the Castle cf

The Victoria to-night, to-morrow, and Wednesday, the

Westminster Bridge; and on Thursday, Friday, and Satur-
day, will be presented three acts of Hamlet, with the Revolt of
the Workhouse, and the False Friend ; or, the Assassin of
the Rocks.

Mrs. Fitzwilliam has been playing Cherubino, in Le Nozze
de Figaro, with great success at the Theatre Royal, Dublin.
The critics say, that although she had to encounter the lan-
guage of la Lelia Italia, it occasioned but a slight drawback on
the grace and liveliness of her performance. She joins Web-
ster at the Haymarket at Easter, where also, it is sad,
Wrench is engaged.

SEDUCTION.-Wlll7 LEY V. MILLS.

Mr. BAINS said that the plaintiff and the (lefendant were
both resident in Huddersfield ; the former as bookkeeper to
the Messrs. Marsden and Co., carriers, to whom he had been
confidential clerk for upwards of twenty years ; the latter as a
brewer. The plaintiff had a salary of but 1501. per annum ;
he had a family of nine children, four of them daughters, the
eldest of whom, now about 24 years of age, was the subject "_
the present action. The plaintiff had, by diligence and atten-
tion succeeded in bringing them up in a respectable matin°L-
according to their station in life. The defendant was about
twenty-eight vears of age, and carried on an extensive bu-
siness in Huddersfield, opposite the house of the plaintiff'
In the beginning of 1832 an intimacy commenced between tne
parties. The matter was well known Co the friends of both;
there was no concealment; but he came openly to the plain;
tiff's house as his daughter's suitor ; but it was as a matter
course gratifying to the plaintiff to find as he supposed one °I
his family, whom he had struggled to maintain, and educate"
respectably, about to be comfortably settled. Up to the
middle of 1836 the plaintiff had no reason to doubt the honour"
able intentions of the defendant. In that year, however, she
became pregnant, and in September a child was born. The
plaintiff had other daughters rising to womanhood, and it was
for the Jury to read the defendant, and such as he, a lesson, a°
had often before been read by a Jury in that box. -The &-
fondant was well able to pay such damages as they should
award. He was joint-proprietor with Mr. Kaye in the brewcrY
at Huddersfield, a property which he, as .eldest son, had re-
ceived from his father.—Verdict for the plaintiff, Damages 300
guineas.
London, England, 1838-03-12

COLONIAL MARKETS.

No public sales to-day, and by private contract but little doing. The
market is much in the same dull state as it was last week. The imports
of produce are again to a fair extent. The business advertised for
the week is also to a fair amount. Holder of goods do not show any dis-
position to oppress the m:irket with goods. The principal sales are of Ben•
gal and Mauritius Sugar and Coff.•e. For to-morrow 3,100 bags of
Bengal, and 2,130 bags of Mauritius Sugar are advertised, and more of
each is also advertised for the 16th. 3,000 bags of Brazil Coffee will

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is an opium proclamation in the Singapore papers received
this miming by which it appears that the Chinese naval prover is to co-
operate in chasing away the opium ships, as well as all those that do
not go to Canton to trade. The paper adds—whether this threat 15
meant to be carried into execution remains to be seen.

Hobart Town papers, received to the 28th of October, state as
follows :

" We hale the melancholy :duty of recording the death, by drown..
ing, of Mr. Edmund Cracroft, a relative of Judge Cracroft, who arrives
in Launceston from India for the benefit of his health, while bathing in
what is called the Basin."

DREADFUL SUICIDE of an ASSAS-qN

An extraordinary trial took in France last week. On the
lith of November last, according to the report in Le Droll,
a Mr. Lambert, a farmer, in the village of Chevres, was sit-
ting at breakfast with his servants. A neighbour, named
E.neraud came in to ask the loan of a gun, and like:vise of a
double.barrciled gun, to shoot some birds in his garden.
The gun being loaded, was at once given to him ; he no
sooner had it than he aimed at Lambert, and lodged one
of the charges in his face. The servants who witne;sed this
strange scene attempted to secure Emeraud, who ran away,
and tried to blow rut his own brains with the second
charge; he however failed in his atzempt, though he inflicted
a terrible wound in his face. Hav:rig reached his own hnuse
he was see❑ to go up to the roof with a vier; of throwing
himself off, but was then secured and confined in his room.
He then took a pen and wrote down a confession of his
crime ; he stated the cause of the dreadful act to be a suspicion
he entertained that Lambert, fire years before, had caused
a prostitute at Angouleme to write a letter to his daughter to
induce her to come and lead a life of prostitution. His
suspicion became confirmed, and the accused, on hearing
one day Lambert's father-in-law ask him if Emeraud's
daughter was gone, to which he replied no, but she soon
will go—fiaim that time he felt he must avenge his honour and
that of his child. The accused produced tire letter that had
been sent to h:s daughter, 'but Lambert positively deniad all
knowledge of it. The case came on for trid on the 15th of
February. A plea of insanity was attempted, but the testi-
mony of Dr. Maury only went to prove that the prisoner la-
boured under excessive nervous irritability. Emeraud having
been taken into the jury-room, whilst some preparatory busi-
ness was going on in court, seized an opportunity to rush to a
window, which he opened and threw himself headlong into the
street, literally smashing his skull on the stones, and leaving
the brains completely bare.

THE MARKETS (THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.

The Corn vessels, after the late interruption, got into regular course,
a very large supply of both Grain and Flour was last week the result ;
and the trade being in want prices were firmly maintained for every ar-
ticle, and Wheat was even dearer. This mooring the fresh supplies of
all kinds of Corn have been moderate. There has been a free trade for
Wheat, and the best parcels have exceeded the terms of last Monday
by 2s. per quarter, and other sorts by Is. per quarter, with a good
clearance of samples. Barley for malting sold freely at last week's
rates ; distillers' quality is very difficult to sell, but grinding parcels
maintain their value. Beans and Peas have no alteration from the
terms of this day se'nnight. There has been a fair demand for Oats
to-day; and notwithstonding the large quantity at market, sales have
been made at terms equal to those of this day se'nnight. There is no
alteration in the prices of Flour, and sales are made to a fair extent.

despatch :

" Bayonne, March 9, 7 a.m.

break on the 4th the reb..-Is, under Cabancro, entered Sara-

The same journal contradicts a report set afloat by the

The Charte observes that it is seen with pain, by certain
parties, that the heir to the throne is held by the army—by
the common soldiers as well as their officers—in that ge-
neral esteem which he has acquired by fighting in its ranks,
and by showing himself on all occasions the zealous pro-

unexceptionable. The butchers bought freely and prices rose. Beef
rose 1/. in 201., and Sheep advanced 2s. to 3s. per head. The advance
is owing to the town being clear of meat ansi the weather sharp. Veal

mARYLEBONE-(THIS DAY.)

A Jewish boy, named Gibbons, was placed at the bar
before Mr. SHUTT, charged kith stealing a valuable cloak,
the property of a medical g. ntienian named Rickley.
James Jackson said about eight o'clock yesterday evening
he was sitting in the window of a public-house, oppos to the
Old Green Man and Still, Oxford-street, when he observed
tie prisoner and other boys lurking about in a manner that
excited his suspicions. In a short time prisoner went over to
a phaeton which was standing near the spot, and took from
it a cloak, which was thrown on the seat, and ran away
very quickly with his companions ; he followed them, and
succeeded, after a very violent resistance on the part of the
prisoner, in detaining him until et constable came up, when
he gave him into custody.
Mr. Henry Rickby said the cloak was his property. and
he had left it the moment before in his phaeton. while lie
! f, into a shop.
Toe prisoner, being unabiL to contradict the evidence,
was fully committed for trial.

GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR

THE WEEK.

(From the Gardeners' Gazette.)

Plant out Cabbage-plants of the early kind pretty thick,
that they may be thinned out as they enlarge, for winter
peens, and leave the remainder to heart. Let this planting
be supplied from the seed-beds, taking the strongest, and
leaving the others to gain strength for later planting.
Hoe and earth up Broeoli, loosening the soil a little all
around, and clearing away weeds. Hoe between young Cab.
bastes. Savors, &e.
Mark some of the finest hearted Cabbages, &c. for seed :
take them with their roots entire, and plant them out by them-
selves, where no other seed of the Cabbage tribe is to be
saved ; for the mixture will spoil the sort.
Sow Salad Herbs, Radishes, &c. in frames—old Cucumber
and Melon beds are good—whenever a constant supply is
required.

Continue to gather in Onions, drying them before storing.
Tulip-growers should now proceed rapidly in arranging
their roots for the planting, changing doubtful orfaulty bulbs ;
newly arranging el the flowers which were too tall last year
for thy. it respective places ; and procuring, by purchase or
otherwise, those varieties they require,
while growers have
their boxes about—the very best time in the world to get a
bargain, b,cause the increase is being removed from the
bulbs.
In ether respects look to psst directions, and do what remains
undone.

The LORD MAYOR—Why did you not bring him up before?
Mr. Bowerbank replied that the prisoner could not be found
until the day before. He had absented himself since the
night of the day on which he went out with the goods, after
haying put the horse deliberately up in the stable and fed him.
Upon a former occasion the prisoner had acted dishonestly,
but as he assured the firm that the fault was the first he had
ever committed, begged bard for forgiveness, and appearieg
to b- really penitent, they not only forgave him but continued
him in their employment. The offence he had committed on
the occasion alluded to was taking money up from costumers
of the house without being authorised, and appropriating it to
his own use.
The LORD MAYOR—And more extensive robbery was the
return for such kindness.
Mr. Bowerbank—He came to me sometime previously and
said that he was atraid his gc;ods would be sold for rent, and
I immediately gave him 455. to get him out of that difficulty.
We have ascertained that immediately afterwards he went to
a number of customers and took up mo ey from them, for
which he gave them receipts signed with his cross. (Mr.
Borterbank here produced a bunle of receipts.) On the
day he committed the lest robbery he received his wages after
having done the mischief, and we never set eyes on him since
until he was apprehended.
Several cases were completely proved against the prisoner,
who was committed for trial.

A foreigner, named Cunnizari, applied to Mr. CHAMBERS
for an authentication of a robbery committed upon him about
three months ago in London.
He was walking down the Haymarket, at the time in ques-
tion, when his pocket was picke i of his pocket-book. contain

Colonel Vandaleur accidentally witnessed the robbery, and
gave such a description of the thief (who made his escape after
committing the theft) that the police took a lad named Pem-
berton, of bad character, into custody on suspicion. Colonel
Vandaleur, however, on seeing the lad, said he was not the
thief, and he was immediately liberated. A few days ago
M. Cunnizari, while. at Calais, discovered that a Frenchman
was in custody of the authorities there, on whom the two stolen
