The intense excitement created in the public mind by
the tragical occurrence, and the singular and extrao--
dinary circumstances connected therewith, appeared
on Saturday rather increased than diminished, the
neighbourhood of Pocock's-fields being throughout the
day thronged by respectable persons, among whom
were numerous respectable females, anxious to obtain
a view of the cottage which has been the scene of so
barbarous a murder. Many of the more curi-
ous, not content with a view of the exterior endea-
voured to obtain a sight of the interior, in which,
however, they were disappointed, Sergeant N 9, and
Policeman N 161, who have the charge of the pre-
mises, keeping the gate locked, and explaining to each
applicant that their orders were positive that no person
should oe admitted. In the course of the forenoon; Mr.
Mallett, the chief clerk of Hatton-garden police-court,
visited the cottage, with the view of making himself
thoroughly acquainted with the position of the rooms,
the bed, &c., for the purpose of facilitating the taking
of the depositions of the witnesses.
Pocock's•fields has been represented as a locality
akin to that of Nova Scotia Gardens, Bethnal-green,
of " burking " notoriety, which, however, is not the
fact, the former being surrounded by a more respectable
neighbourhood, and property of a tar more valuable de-
scription, than the latter. Pocock's-fields are situated
on the west side of the Liverpool-road, formerly called
the " back-road," and are distant from Islington turn-
pike about a mile. They arc a part of the well-known
White Conduit-fields, a great portion of which are now
built upon, and are bounded on the west by the road run-
ning past White Conduit house towards Holloway. The
entrance on the south side is from Park-lane, leading out
of the Liverpool-road, opposite Laycock's dairy and cattle
layers, and are bounded on the east by Liverpool-terrace,
and on the north by Great Bride-street. On the west
side are several new streets, Wilson-street, in which is
situated the Barnsbury Castle public-house, at which the
inquest has been opened, being nearly opposite the path
leading to the cottage of the deceased. From Park-lane
and Great Bride-street is a broad footpath, running
from south to north, with on either side small gardens,
each having a detached cottage only one story high
erected thereon. That path is intersected by other
paths, having similar cottages on either side, and about
half way between Park-lane and Great Bride-street is a
path on the east side, opposite Kent cottage, which leads
to the ground and cottage of the deceased, which is si-
tuated about 150 yards from the backs of the houses in
Liverpool-terrace. It is called Lincoln cottage from the
circumstance of the family of Mr. Templeman having
been formerly settled in that county. It is of very recent
erection, and was built at the expense of Mr. H. C.
Templeman, the grandson of the deceased. It con-
sists of two rooms only, one on each side of the en-
trance. Oa the west side is the sitting-room, into
which, in fact, the door opens, and on the east side
the bedroom, in which the dreadful deed was perpe-
trated. There are but two windows, one in each
room, which have a northerly aspect. From them
and the entrance there is a most beautiful prospect,
more especially to the north-west, where there is a fine
view of Highgate tunnel, Highgate church, the entrance
of the new cemetery, and also of Caen-wood, the seat of
Earl Mansfield ; while to the northeast appear the
towers of Holloway Episcopal chapel, and of the new
church of that village. The furniture within the cottage
is of a modern description and in very good condition.
On a line with Lincoln cottage, and not a dozen yards
from it on the east, is the cottage of the Jarvises, which
is of a meaner description than that of Mr. Templeman,
and has a white-washed front, while that of Lincoln
cottage has a plain brick one. It is the last of the cot-
tages at that part next to the rear of the houses in
Liverpool-terr,-.ce. Unfortunately it was on the side
next to Jarvis's cottage that deeeased's bedroom was
situated ; for had it been on the west side of the
cottage, which is within eight or ten yards of the cot-
tage of a person named Downes, it is probable the cries
and struggles of the unfortunate deceased might have
been heard, and his life preserved. Downes's cottage is
situated at the south-east corner of the path above de-
scribed, leading from Kent-cottage to the grounds of
the deceased, and on the opposite corner of the path is
Charlotte-cottage, the residence of Mr Thornton, and

Highland chieftains in the garb of their different
clans shone conspicuous by the side of the naval and
military uniform of the British services, and the
peaceful dress of the citizen, but more especially from the
intellectual treat afforded us in many speeches that
were d livered in the course of the evening, in which elo-
quence went hand in hand wish knowledge and high prin-
ciple, and it was proved to demonstration that the tongue

grat.fication of his friends as well as the terror of his ene-
mies. If there was any drawback from the pleasure we
&rived we should say that it was to be found in the sub-
stitution of some dczen crazy musical instruments for
that vocal harmony which, at most other public dinners,
contributes to the general entertainment, and which we
cannot but think would have been, in the present instance,
somewhat more pleasing to the Highland beauties who
graced the gallery of th Hall with their presence. Per-
haps, however, the national car was sufficiently delighted
with the dulcet notes of the portly piper of the Duke of
Sussex, who, whatever his instrument might have been,
was certainly himself no drone, for he never spared either
his internal or his external pipes, to which he gave inces-
sant occupation from seven o'clock to twelve.
Tice Right Hon. Sir G. MURRAY, in the absence of the
Duke of Richmond, presided on the occasion, and in a
most able manner performed the duties of the chair. The
Gal ant Officer was supported by a host of distinguished
persons, among whom it will not be invidious to mention
the following names :—Marquis of Westmeath, Sir Hud-
son Lowe, Sir Edward Paget, Sir James Macgregor, Sir
Hilgrove Turner, Sir Thomas Cochrane, R.N., Sir
Arthur Brooke, Sir David Wilkie, Sir Lewis Grant, Hon.
Admiral Markey, Sir Edmund Filmer, Colonel Gorreguer,
Colonel Duffy, Colonel Money, Colonel O'Mally, Colonel
Rolt, Major Annesly, Colonel Craig, the Chisholm, Cap-
tain Fend, Captain Sotheby, Captain Lloyd, Captain
Kelly, Henry Stormont Murray, Esq., Messrs. Duff (two),
Robertson (three), Longlands (two), Macdonald (three),
M. T. F. Gordon, Esq., C. A. Mackenzie, &c.
At seven o'clock the chairman entered the room, pre-
ceded by the aforesaid drone, and followed by most of the
distinguished guests we have just named, and the dinner
commenced and concluded with a Gaelic grace.
After the cloth was removed, the following toasts were
given from the chair with three times three :
Her Majesty the Queen."—Air, " God save the
Queen."
" His Royal Highness Prince Albert," and " Her Ma-
jesty the Queen Dowager and the rest of the Royal Fa-
mily," each followed by appropriate airs.
The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the next toast, and
in doing so explained, as the reason of his occupying the
chair on the occasion, the fact of his Grace the Duke of
Richmond, who had promised to have done so, having
been unexpectedly called away from town to attend the
assizes in the county of Sussex. The Gallant Officer ex-
pressed his regret at the Noble Duke's unavoidable ab-
scence on so interesting an occasion, and said that, although
it was not very usual for any man to complain of being ad-
vanced to a higher situation which he might feel his in-
competency to fill as it ought to be filled—(Laughter)—
yet it was, in reality, a sincere disappointment to him not to
see his Noble Friend in the chair, which he could not but feel
he would much more ably and worthily occupy. The toast
which he bad risen to propose was one to intimately and ho-
nourably connected with the expedition to Egypt,that he felt
it would only be necessary for him to mention " The Army
and Navy" in order to secure it that reception which it
must ever meet with in a Company like the present.—
( Loud cheers.) One of the brightest features of that
expedition was the perfect unanimity which existed be-
tween both branches of the service, and which was the
chief cause of the brilliant successes by which it was
signalised. He would, therefore, without further com-
ment, propose to them the toast of " The Army and
Navy," and might all their future services be attended by
the same unanimity and distinguished by the same sue.
cess.—(Cheers.)
The toast was drank with enthusiasm, followed by
" Rule Britannia."
The Hon. Admiral MACKAY returned thanks on the
part of the navy, and said that it was always a pleasing
task to return them for that service to which he was so
sincerely attached, and which was always so desirous of
enjoying the good opinion, as well as ready to_fight the
battles, of its country.—(Cheers.)
Sir E. PAGET returned thanks on the part of the army.
The CHAIRMAN then rose, and said the Highland Su•
ciety enjoyed, among manyr.otheri advantages, that of
having many good patrons. Among them all, however,
there was none who was more distinguished for his liber-
ality, or more highly to be honoured by the Society, than
his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex.—( Cheers. ) He
would therefore give them " The health of the Duke of
Sussex, Earl of Inverness, with three times three."

By Lord ABINGER —Witness should not have given the
defendant the money, but from the impression that his
story was true ; and, from his producing a constable's staff
and the other circumstances, he was completely disarmed
of all suspicion. The defendant told him that the clergy-
man and the churchwardens of Ifield thought it was the
best course to send him round, as there had been so many
frauds committed by means of begging letters.
Mr. Thomas Leadbitter deposed that he was at present
one of the overseers of Ifield, and he had known the pri-
soner all his life. The defendant was a perfect stranger,
and entirely unknown in the parish, and, of course, had
never served the office of constable in any other. No
such circumstance as a widow woman's cattle being poi-
soned had taken place in the parish.
The Jury then returned a verdict of Guilty.
Lord ABINGIM inquired if anything was known of the
prisoner ?
His Lordship was informed that he was quite a stranger
in the neighbourhood, and no one knew anything about him.
Lord ABINGER then addressed the prisoner to the follow.
ing effect:—" You have been convicted of an offence of
the most contemptible character, and I find that there arc
two other charges of a similar nature against you. I look
upon your offence as most disgraceful—the man who stops
another upon the highway runs some risk, and though I do
not mean to say that violent offences of that description do
not deserve severe punishment, yet it would be impossible
to deny that your offence is infinitely more contemptible
and disgraceful. You have gone about preying upon the
kind-hearted and charitable, and especially among that
class who, I fear, are ever too ready to listen to such tales
of distress, and have obtained a subsistence by this unwor-
thy means. I should be neglecting my duty, if I did not
pass upon you the severest sentence of the law, which is,
that you be transported beyond the seas for the term of
seven years."

It was until lately—and it may be there is still—
a charge made by our enemies, that we ultra Tories
arc behind the intelligence of the age. What must
we think of the precedency of intelligence in the poor
pitiable Duke of Sussex, who talked of moving churches
from place tD place, like booths transferred from fair to
fair ; and, with grotesque gesticulation, determined the
roundest part of his person to be the seat of his religion

Mr. Henry Hector, surgeon, residing at the New-
road, was charged with assaulting Mr. Bengie, baker,
of 24, Cumberland-market, Regent's-park. On the
previous evening the complainant was sitting in the par-
lour of a public-house in Grafton-street, when the de
Pendant and five other persons entered, the defendant
dragging after him with violence a youth by the nose,
and on whom he inflicted a number of severe blows.
All present cried out " Shame !" and complainant told
him such conduct did not prove the gentleman. The
defendant immediately belaboured him with a large
stick over the face, head, and body ; he was at last se-
cured, and given in charge to a constable. This evi-
dence was corroborated by a person named Hiiginson,
who described the assault as brutal. The defendant
said that the complainant assaulted him first, and that he
chastised the youth for throwing pebbles against the
wind° s of a lady, with whom he was engaged, as a
signal that he wished to speak to her at the door. He
repeated that his amorous rival, the youth, well deserved
the " licking "he gave him. The defendant was fined
5/. for the assault on the complainant, and held to bail
for his good behaviour during the remainder of the
3 ear.

Simard—True ; with respect to money-matters you
arc usually correct. My father has a way of his own in
paying his son's expenses in Paris ; but although I put
no money into the concern—since I must speak the truth
—I advanced my share in kind.
The JUDGE—What do you mean ?
Simard—A few words will make the affair quite clear.
My father is an honest farmer in the environs of Abbe-
ville. When we had spent our money (Lambert grunted)
—I beg your grace's pardon—when we had spent his
money, I thought it would be no bad plan to have
recourse to the author of my being, and consequently
I described my (looking at Lambert)—our distress,
and I begged him to send me some money. My
father, affected by the eloquence of my letter, an-
swered me in the following words :—" Shall I send you
any potatoes ?" I consulted my friend whether I should
accept my father's proposal, but he said that we had
better pop somethirg. I agreed, and took his mantle
to my uncle's. Before the week was ended the mantle
was eaten. A mantle is digested wonderfully soon, I can
assure you. When there was nothing else to send to
my uncle's, I thought that I had better write home
again, and I sent my mother a letter, written in the
most pathetic style, and which exhaled a downright
odour of misery and famine. By return of post an an-
swer came—" Shall I send you any potatoes ?" I con-
sulted my friend, who advised me to accept. We ac-
cepted, and soon received two enormous seeks of this
nutritive production. For five whole weeks we feasted
on this vegetable, and eat them in every form, and dress-
ed them in every way, but principally plainboiled. But
to terminate.—After having allowed my companion to
fill his belly for five weeks with my potatoes, I think it
a very strange proceeding on his part to reproach me
for having made use of his purse. He fed me, and I
have fed him. My diet with him was plain boiled
spinach ; with me his diet was plain boiled potatoes.
%V hat does he now demand ? Has there not been on
each side the same good feeling of kind fellowship ?
The JuDGs was of this opinion, and Lambert was
nonsuited.

PROSPECTS OF HER MAJESTY'S

THEATRE.

Laporte, the never-tiringmanager of this establish-
ment, has within the last few days returned to London
from St. Petersburg, to which place it appears he was
led by his anxiety not to disappoint, or rather for the
purpose of using his exertions and personal influence to
induce Taglioni to abandon the resolution she had
taken of not again visiting this country prior to her
final retirement from the stage. After Laporte had
put forth his annonci for the present season, in which
it was stated that this exquisite artiste would for a por-
tion of the time form one of the corps of attraction, he
received intimation from the lady to the effect that
it was her intention or desire not to visit London,
but to confine her fature performances to St. Peters-
burg until the termination of her engagement in that city,
at which period she had determined on retiring from any
further professional exertion. By a clause in her articles
of agreement with Laporte, Taglioni had the power of
withdrawing altogether from the engagement into which
she had entered with regard to her appearance at her
Majesty's Theatre, upon condition that she neither
danced any more at Vienna or Paris. On the receipt
of this intelligence, Laporte wended his way to the Ru,-
sian capital, and, after a great deal of persuasion, at
length succeeded in inducing the lady to give her con-
sent once more to delight her English admirers. It
will, however, we apprehend, be her last visit to our
shores, certainly her last as la deese de la danse.
Madame Taglioni will quit St. Petersburgh at Easter,
stag may be expected in this country about the 15th of
May. The remainder of the'' vocal " stars, Grisi, Ru-
bini, and Lablache, will set out from Paris on the close
of the Parisian operatic season, namely, the 31st of the
present month. We are glad to hear that there is a
probability of our fair and talented countrywoman,
Albertazzi, being again added to the corps for part of
the season. Her re-appearance on the boards of this
Theatre will be hailed with much satisfaction.—
, Observer.

William Passell and Henry Heath, two persons respec-
tably connected in the neighbourhood of Horsham, surren-
dered to take their trial upon an indictment charging them
with having administered to two persons named Cheese-
man and Wilson a large quantity of a certain noxious drug
called cantharides, whereby they became and still were
grievously distempered and ill.
Mr. Lyall appeared for the prosecution, and Messrs.
Clarkson and Dowling defended the prisoners.
Mr. LYALL stated the case, the circumstances of which,
he said, were of a very extraordinary character. The pri-
soners
were persons in a respectable station of life, and on '
the day the circumstance in question took place they were
at an inn in the town of Horsham, and the prosecutors
were also there. It appeared that a proposal was made
by the prisoners to treat them, and they procured some
gin and beer, which they took into another room to warm,
and this opportunity was embraced to put the drug into
the pot. When the liquor was offered to the prosecutors
they remarked that it looked very thick, upon which the
prisoners said that it was nothing but a little wood ashes in
it, and the prosecutors were then induced to drink it. In a
very short time they were taken most seriously ill, and one
of them was not even now out of danger. It would be
shown that the prisoners, the day before this transaction,
bad purchased a quantity of cantharides, and upon examin-
ing the pot that had contained the liquor, a portion of
cantharides was found at the bottom of it. Under these
circumstances he apprehended the Jury would feel them-
selves called upon to return a verdict of guilty against the
prisoners.
Lord Asisnaft intimated his opinion that the indictment
was defective and could not be sustained, inasmuch as it
did not impute any intent to the defendants. It should have
stated the intent to be to kill and murder the prosecutors.
Mr. Lval.a. said that there was a great difficulty in the
case. They did not believe that the intention of the de-
fendants was to kill the prosecutors.
Lord AHINGEIt said that it was absolutely necessary that
some felonious intent should be imputed to the defendants
by the indictment, or otherwise they would have no charge
to answer.

Mary Bagnall, aged 16, daughter of a respectable
tradesman, residing at No. 1, Church-terrace, Old St.
Pancras-road, was charged with concealing the birth ot
her illegitimate male child. The prisoner being in a very
weak state was accommodated with a chair. A police-
man stated that at one o'clock that morning the pri-
soner was pacing up and down before her father's house.
She said her parents would not allow her to go
iu, and requested him to interfere with them
on her behalf. He did so, and she was admitted ;
but her father told him he feared his daughter had
given birth to a child, and had also taken something for
the purpose of destroying it. Witness went into the
kitchen to her, and asked if what he had heard was
true ? She said it was, and that about five weeks since
the young man brought her a powder, and told her it
would make her ill at first, but that she would after-
wards be better. She took it the same morning. He
came again in the afternoon ; she was then very ill ;
they both went into the back parlour, where she gave
birth to a child. He then wrote a note, which he said
he should pin to its clothing, and afterwards took it away
in a purple bag. The baby cried as soon as it was
born. She saw him again in a few days, when he said he
had placed the infant at a gentleman's door, and that it
I was alive and we'd. It was here mentioned that on the
12th ult. a male child was found at a door in Meeklen-
' burgh-terrace, and that it had been taken to St. Pan-
, eras workhouse ; it had a paper pinned to its clothes.
requesting the owner of the house for pity's sake to prt,-
tect it. The policeman further said that he afterwards
took the prisoner to the workhouse, and shoved her
the child ; she looked at it steadfastly for some time,
and then burst into tears, exclaiming she was posi-
tive it was her's ; she also identified the shawl in

QUANTITY OF FOOD NECESSARY
FOR HEALTH.

THE MURDER AT ISLINGTON.

Mr. CLARKSON said that but for the interference of the
Court he skould have taken the same objection. He and
his Learned Friend Mr. Dowling were both of opinion
that the present indictment could not be sustained.
Lord ABINGER said that the indictment must be quashed;
and he directed the Jury to return a verdict of a'quittal.
The business of the Assize did not terminate until a late
hour on Friday night.

In the present state of our knowledge it may be as-
sumed that the quantity of food required by animals of
every species, including man, is the average quantity of
plain food that they consume in ordinary circumstances
when the supply is not limited. The rations in the public
service afford a fair standard. The English soldier's daily
ration is—bread, 16 ounces ; beef or mutton, 12 ounces,
besides vegetables, sugar, coffee, &c. The French soldier
has—bread, 26 ounces ; meat, 8i ounces. The cai bon and
nitrogen in the food represent its nutritive power (Prout,
Bridgewater Treatise); the nitrogen should amount to 1i
ounce, the carbon to 11 ounces. The carbon is converted
into carbonic acid, is burnt, in fact; sustains the tempera-
ture of the body at blood heat, and escapes in respiration.
The quantity of food should be proportional to the intensity
and quantity of labour; the harvest-man will consume
twice the amount of the soldier's ration, and twice as
much as he requires in the short winter days. The human
machine in this respect bears some resemblance to the
steam-engine. But there arc reservoirs of nutritive mat-
ter in the body, and a deficiency of half, or three-fourths,
rarely produces any serious effect in less than 80 or 90
days, particularly if the place of nutritive matter be sup-
plied by earth, &c., as it is in parts of America.
From a very able memoir, by Dalton, in the " Me-
moirs of the Manchester Philosophical Society," it ap-
pears that he consumed, on an average of 14 days, 28
ounces of bread, oat-cake and pastry ; 2 ounces of pota-
toes; 4 ounces of butchers' meat, 9 ounces of cheese, 31
ounces of milk, 22 ounces of tea, and beer daily. The
whole containing 11i ounces of carbon, 1i- ounce of nitro-
gen ; nearly the same as the rations in the public service.
Assume, as we may very fairly, that full diet would con-
tain carbon, 11 ounces; nitrogen, 2 ounces, = 13 ounces
avoirdupois—then the workhouse dietaries of the Poor-
law Commissioners contain about 91 of these elements
(81 ounces carbon, 1 ounce nitrogen), and the workhouse
dietary is =0.75 of full diet. Dr. Kay states that the
average expense of maintenance in the workhouses of Nor-
folk and Suffolk would be " 18s. a-week, or about 501. a-
year" for a man, his wife, and four children; and he found that
of 120 families, whose number of children averaged 3.7 to a
family, the annual income, including the earnings of the
wife and children, was 351. 9s. If the diet of the families
out of the workhouses is in the same proportion, or
=-0.8 of the workhouse dietary, it will follow the families
of agricultural labourers, in the employment of the great
agriculturalists of Norfolk and Suffolk, are upon but little
better than half diet, =0 6 of full diet. The gross in-
come is 4d. a-day per head ; and this furnishes the rent,
firing, clothing, &c., as well as food.
From a series of facts before me it appears that full diet
cannot be procured by adults for less than 10d. a_day.
Reduce it to 6d. for children, and the cheapness of coarse
food, then the result will differ little from that stated above
The calculation proves to demonstration that the agricul
tural labourer can purchase scarcely any animal food. This
appears to be the case—the family subsists upon potatoes,
salt, bread (a limited quantity), and a small quantity of
bacon, —Dr. Farr's Letter to the Registrar-General.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
FURTHER PARTICULARS.

About eight' o'clock on Friday evening a female, from
GO to 70 years of age, accompanied by another female,
went, in a state of the greatest agitation, to Mr. Temple-
man's cottage, where his body at present lies, and entreated
to sec him, saying that she was his wife, and insisted upon
I entering. The p f !iceman on duty, in the kindest manner
possible, refused r request, as it was generally believed
and reported that' e had been a widower for a number of
years. She thereon immediately produced the certificate
of her marriage, which proved that she had been married
to the &ceased at'Grecnwich church, December 20,1833.
Upon the prAuction of that document the policeman in-
stantly granted her admission. The poor woman, when
she beheld the body of the unfortunate man, became in a
state bordering on distraction, nearly fainting, and was
obliged to be carried out of the room. Her situation can
be better imagined than described. It appeared from her
statement, when she recovered, that the deceased was her
third husband, and had been separated from her about
three years, the separation being occasioned by jealousy,
and since their separation he never would allow her any
separate maintenance. Her first husband was a Mr. Cut-
ler, who fc:rmerly kept the Angel Inn at Islington for up.
wards of 19 years. He dying, she married a Mr. Hinck-
ley, a gentleman connected with the Excise, and lastly
was married to the deceased. She said she knew nothing
of the murder but by reading it in one of the daily papers.
She also stated that he was a native of Edinburgh, and
was by trade a damask weaver, but since he has lived at
f the cottage he has had a machine for weaving bed-sacking.

of Capriani, the individual who was first taken into cus-
tody on suspicion of having been concerned in the per-
petration of the murder, but who was discharged with a
spotless character. In a northwesterly direction from
thence, and about 300 yards distant from Lincoln-cot-
tage, being about halfway between that and the exten-
sive premises of the Caledonian Asylum, stands " Wil-
son-cottage," the residence of the Aliens, and the one
at which the prisoner Richard Gould had been staying
for the ten days previous to the horrible occurrence,

which the infant was wrapped when found, as
belonging to the young man's sister. The pri-
soner's father stated that he was not aware his
daughter was with child until about four month's ago ;
he said she had told him that she first met the young
man near Charing-cross ; that he entered into con-
versation with her, and ultimately effected her ruin.
His name was William Robins. She expressed great
fear of stating who he was, as with a dreadful oath he
had threatened her with vengeance if she ever told ;
he had also advised her to let him secrete himself in
the coal cellar, so that in the night time he might
murder her father and mother, and rob the house ; he
had shown her a dagger, with which he said he would
stab her if she gave such information as would lead to
his apprehension. The prisoner had also admitted to
her mother that she had had a child, and that the father
had taken it, saying he would take care of it himself.
The father concluded by saying that his daughter had
varied much in her statements, but that he had no
doubt she had had a child. About three weeks ago
she was taken ill, and her mother advised her to go
into an hospital ; she then admitted that she had " mis-
carried." The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said the
young man took the child of his own accord, saying
his sister would dress it, and that he would then put it
at some door, where it would be better provided for
than it could be by them. The Magistrate said there
was no legal proof of the prisoner's having given birth to
an infant ; other important points also required to he
established, so he remanded the prisoner for a week,
and ordered that site should he kept at the workhouse.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSIO.N-HO USE.

FORGERY.—The young man, named Jacob Isaacs,
who was last week brought up in the custody of John
Forrester before the Lord Mayor, charged with having
obtained goods to a very large amount from Mr. Davis,
of Bull's Head-court, and other furriers, upon pretence
that he was of age, was placed at the bar on Saturday,
as was generally imagined, for re-examination on that
accusation.

The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm, and gave
the drone the cue to blow harder than before, which be did
not, that being impossible.
The CHAIRMAN then said that he bad to call upon them
to perform a solemn duty to the sacred memory of one who
on that day surrendered up his life in the hour of victory to
perpetuate the fame of the British arms, and the honour of,
their common country. He had had the distinguished
honour of serving under, and of enjoying the friendship of
that immortal chief Sir Ralph Abercromby, and bad to be
grateful to him for many kindnesses on many occasions.
Sir Ralph Abercromby was a man to whom the country was
eminently indebted. Possessed of a most powerful under.
standing, be bad assiduously cultivated that understanding,
and though he was powerful in mind he was still more so
in many other qualities, which rendered him an ornament
to the profession to which he belonged ; and indeed he was
so eager and gallant a soldier that his followers had ever
more reason to repress his courage than to urge him for-
ward to deeds of glory.—( Cheers.) That day was the
anniversary of one of his greatest victories, and they ought,
as he was sure they would, offer an humble and. sincere
demonstration of respect to his memory in solemn silence.
—( Cheers.)
The toast was drunk in solemn silence, and followed by
an appropriate song by Mr. Broadhurst.
Sir G. MURRAY again rose and said, that having just had
the honour to call upon them to drink in silence the me.
mory of a great military leader now no more, lie had next
to call upon them to do honour, not in t.ilenee, but with
hearty acclamations. to another great commander, who was
still, thank God, alive—not to lead Them, perhaps, again
to victory in a hundred fights, but still to be an example to
the country of the manner in which every obstacle to victory
was by bravery, perseverance, and talent to be encour,.
tcred and overcome. Let him also call to their recollection
that in him they possessed not only a most distinguished
military leader, .but also a great and able statesman—a
man of prudence and foresight in all matters of state, of
most decided precedence with respect to all the principles
of Government. The Gellant Officer concluded by pro-
posing " The health of his Grace the Duke of Wellington."
—( Cheers. )
(The toast was drunk in a manner which beggars de-
scription )
Air—" Sec the conquering hero comes."
The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The health of their ab.
sent friend, the Duke of Richmond," and said he could ex-
cuse the Duke of Richmond for being absent on affairs in

and is the same place where he was taken into custody
on the night of Tuesday last. Its frontage is towards
the east, and, like all the other erections, is surrounded
by a small garden.
The reason of the smallness of the erections on Po-

Mr. Hobler, jun., and Mr. Lewis, appeared for the
prosecution, and Mr. Charles Phillips, the Counsel, and
Mr. Humphreys, appeared for the prisoner.
Just as the LORD MAYOR called upon the Solicitor
for the prosecution to go fully into the evidence against
the prisoner to establish the questionable charge of the
false pretence,

cock's-fields is, wo understand, that it is the opinion o
the parties interested in it that the property wil

shortly become very valuable, and consequently-it has
been let at 201. per acre for the term of 14 years only,
the tenants being allowed to erect what buildings they
please thereon, upon the understanding that at the ex-
piration of that term they must pull them down and re-
move the materials, or if they choose to leave them, they
are not to receive any compensation.
The circumstance of no watch having been found
after the murder, in the deceased's cottage, nor any
duplicate thereof on any of the persons in custody,
has led to a belief that other persons must have been
concerned in the tragical affair ; we have reason, how-
ever, to know that, about a fortnight ago, the man-
servant of Mr. l'empleman's grandson, when at the
cottage, was desired by the deceased to take his watch,
which was invariably hung up over the mantel piece,
and get it repaired, as it did not go well. The man-
servant accordingly took it to his mister, who sent i
to his watch-maker, in whose hands it now is. The
deceased's spectacles were found lying on the mantel
piece in the sitting-room, and two silver tea-spoons on
the table—one in the tea-cup, and the other in a basin
of moist sugar. It is, therefore, supposed that the
object of the deceased gentleman's murderer was not so
much the possession of his general property, as of the
money which it was known he had received.
During the examination on Wednesday, Mrs. Thorn-
, ton, who was the first person who discovered the mur-

Mr. CUMMING, the Solicitor, stepped forward, and
sa'd that he had a still more serious accusation to
bring upon the part of Mr. Oppenheim, Bow-lane,
Cheap-ice, against the young maa at the bar—the •
charge of having uttered a Bill of Exchange for
185/. 125., well knowing that it was a forgery. The
Bill which Mr. Oppenheim's house had received in
the course of business, and which became due on
the 4th of March, purported to be accepted by T. B.
Wiltshire, who resided at Barnstaple, and was payable
at Messrs. Barclay's, the bankers. Upon being pre-
sented at the counter, it was stated by the cashier that
there were •` no oilers," and Mr. Oppenheim gave di-
rections to hi7n (witness) to write to all the parties whose
names were on the bill, informing them that it had been
dishonoured, and calling upon them to take it up. It
soon afterwards was ascertained that the bill was a for-
gery.
Mr. PHILLIPS said that he had come to the Mansion
House to defend a person charged with having obtained
money under false pretences, and he found that a charge
of forgery was what he was called upon to answer. He
submitted that the solicitor for the prosecution ought to
have given notice of the new accusation, is fairness to
the prisoner.

Stockbridge divkion, one of which has come out in the
right form at Warwick ; I confess, as far as the New-
market races go, I hare a leaning for this lot, nor will it
surprise me to see John Dav win all his engagements ; but the
Derby is another affair, and an affair, I btlieve, John Day has
hitherto attempted to grasp in vain. If we search the couutr
round. we find Bokhara, Mumps, Torres Vedras, Lord Rel.
burn'. colt (Little Wonder and Solace colt), Drayton, Brothel
to Heron, and Prince Albert, eigbt trainers are engaged with
this lot ; all the nags doubtless can run a little, but I should
be btrariyel y puzzled to select a Bay illiddleton : thus, again,
it is an open Derby, and as so very ref can come out before
the day, it seems to me to be an open Derby on the day, al-
though, in the common course of things, it is fair that the
favourite should throw in. If we look at the last three years.

Carter, the informer, was convicted under a clause
in the Police Courts Act, for having com;iromised an in-
formation. It appeared that Carter had, in the course
of the week, taken out some informa' ions against a per-
son of the name of Bolton, an owner of omnibuses and
cabs. The ,:efendant, however, being unable, from ill-
ness, to attend at the office, Mr. Levy, the toll-con-
tractor, did so for him, but Carter objected to the matter
being gone into, Levy remained in the office after-
wards, and got into convcrsat:on with the informer, who
offered, on payment of the expenses, to withdraw the in-
formation. Upon this !Os. was tendered, but until he
had been paid a sovereign, he refused to agree to the
bargain. Levy stated that he had ,iven that sum for
the purpose of punishing Carter. Th^ penalty inflicted
was 101., the full amount.

not having given intimation to the police, previous to

have acted not only prudently, but properly ; but said,
that when such a circumstance occurred again, she would
rake care to obey the suggestions of the magistrate,

LAW PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANIMALS.-
it appears to have been by no means unusual in France, in the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries to institute legal proceedings
against animals, allowing them an advocate to defend them, and
treating them in every respect as fairly as if theyhad beenhuman
beings. How far it was done in a serious spirit, and h.,w far
in ths spirit of drollery, it would now lie difficult to say ; but
curtain it is that such proceedings occasionally took place, and
were conducted with all the external gravity desirable in simi-
lar eases where human beings are concerned.— Chambers'

charged witl' 'll wilful murder of John Temp'leton, at
his br• -
..ose, Pocock's-fields, Islington, on the night of
oionday last, wason Saturday resumed before Mr. Combe.
the Police Magistrate, in the private room, up stairs.
Several county Magistrates were present during the ex-
amination.
John Collins, Mary Thornton, and Elizabeth Thorn-
ton, described tne situation of the house of the deceased,
the state in which it was found on the discovery of the
murder, and the position of the body of the deceased on
the discovery being made.
Francis Cipriani was at work in the garden of the
deceased on the Monday before the murder. Saw Mrs.
Jarvis come to deceased's door and knock. Deceased
opened the door, and conversed with Mrs. Jarvis. Did
not hear what was the subject of conversation ; this was
about five or six o'clock in the even;ng. Is sure it was
Nlrs. Jarvis, and knows deceased was at home at the

England—he could excuse the Due d'Aubigny for his ab-
sence in France—but he could scarcely bring himself to
excuse the Duke of Lennox for being absent from a meet-
ing like the present.—(Latighter and cheers. Drunk with
all the honours.)
The CHAIRMAN then gave " The health of the Marquis
of Westmeath and the Peerage of Ireland," and happily ILl-
luded to the pleasure they had in having a nobleman of the
sister country among them, and one, too, who, in addition
to his other claims upon their consideration, had the good
fortune to have served in Egypt with Sir Ralph Aber-
cromby.—( Cheers.)
After the toast was drunk,
The Marquis of WESTMEATII returned thanks in a neat
speech, and referred to the good feeling which he had
ever been anxious to see prevail, as on the present occa-
sion, between Ireland and Scotland.—( Cheers. )
The CHAIRMAN next proposed a toast connected with
Caledonia herself', viz., that of " Chiefs and clans," and
coupled with it " The health of the Chisholm," who had
shown already how much he had at heart the welfare, not
only of his own, but of all other clans.—(The toast was
drunk with Highland honours.)
The CHISHOLM, in returning thanks, happily alluded to
the great difference between the feudal system, under
which the humbler classes were mere serfs of the soil, and
the patriarchial system, as exhibited in the Scottish clan-
ship, in which it was the object of the chief to promote
the welfare of every member of his clan, all of whom
looked up to him as their common head, father, and pro-
tector.—( Cheers.)
'Ube next toast from the Chair was " The health of tho
Scottish Representatives in both Houses of Parliament."
W. F. CAMPBELL Esq., M.P. (of Islay), returned
thanks, and paid a merited compliment to Sir George
Murray and his public services, describing him as a man
who had shown that he could speak as well as he could
fight.—( Cheers. )
Song—." Donald Cairn."—Mr. Man.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH rose and said he had a
duty to perform, which he regretted had not fallen into
abler hands. The Noble Marquis then proposed the
health of Sir George Murray, and regretted that he bad
not the requisite eloquence to describe in adequate lan-
guage the merits and sei vices of so distinguished a soldier
and worthy a citizen.—( Cheers.) He would give, then,
" The health of Sir George Murray, and the gallant 42d
Regiment."—( Cheers. )
Drunk with Highland honours.
Sir G. MURRAY returned thanks for the honour wh;ch the
Noble Lord bad done him ih proposing his health, and for the

recce."

nist of the privies in the vicinity of the cottage
have been searched, with a view to find the instrument
of death, but without effect ; and it is by no means im-
probable that the itt3trument used to kill the deceased
was found by the murderer on the premises, as Mr.
T empleman was what is called fond of buying bargains
in garden
and he had such a variety,that if, after committing the
tools, hammers, &c•, when he met with them,
atrocious deed, the murderer took it away with him, it
could not be missed.
The remains of Mr. Templeman were yesterday
placed in a coffin, covered with black cloth, and studded
with double rows of black nails. On the lid was a

CORN-LAWS.-PETITIONS FROM. DissEN.
Tras.--(From a Correspondent. )----I thank you, sir, for your
great efforts for the repeal of the Devil's-laws. i wish Dr. P.
;smith were to do one thing, which I presume he could do,
namely, bring the question before the Board of Dissenting Mi-
nisters in London, and get them to act the-.nselves, and call on
the whole body of Dissenters throughout kingdom, congre-
gationally, to get up petitions to the Legislature.

tract of a letter dated New York, February 19, 1840 .—" Yes-
terday Al:ss Shirreff and I concluded an engagement with
Sunpson to play at the Park Theatre for a fortnight from the
31st of March. There had been a universal call from the
pniple and the papers that we should appear there, and Simp-
son consequently wrote to us. I have no doubt we shall a
good business.' We shall produce the Postilion, which I think
will rue the whole time; we shall afterwards play a short en-
gagement at Philadelphia, which will take us into May, which
manth we shall very probably end by concertizing somewhere,
and then_about the beginning of June I think we shall embark
for Old „;ligland." Wilson and Miss Shirreff have done great
things in America--are universally esteemed in private in that
country, and were it not that Wilson is eager to see his four
children, who are in London at school, I ani satisfie

youngest boys, perhaps you are aware, have been in America,

may mention that Wilson attended the Fifth Anniversary

greeted, and his health proposcd as a brother craftsman in 'very
flattering terms.
