SUICIDE OF A SCHOOLMISTRESS.--An inquest was
held last evening at the Feathers, Temple-street, Whitt:-
friars, before Mr. W. Payne, on the body of Maria
Carter, aged 29, a schoolmistress. It appeared in evi-
dence that the deceased kept a day-school for children,
at 43, Friar-street, 131acklriars-road, and was much re-
spected by her neighbour!.. On Saturday evening last
die left one of her friends, to whom sho paid a visit,
and promised to return at night and- sleep with her.

In an extraordinary and unaccountable manner.
She insisted upon seeing a gentleman with whom she
was. perfectly unacquainted, and with whom she had no
business, and because she could not obtain an interview
with him, said she would drown herself. Though the
river was within a few feet of her no one took any
notice of her threat, and next morning her body was
found floating off the Temple-pier. As there was no
positive evidence that she had committed suicide, the
,
jury returned a Verdict of Found drowned."

Caledonian Railway by the late unprecedented over-
flowing of the Clyde, has proved of a much less serious
description than was at first apprehended, and that the
injury having been repaired, the traffic is now being

NEW WRIT FOR THE BOROUGH OF LISKEARD.
In pursuance of the directions of an Act, psssd in the
twenty-fourth par of the reign of his late Majesty King
George the Third, intiuled " An Act to rep, al su much
of two Acts, made in the tenth and fifteenth years of
the reign of his present Majesty, as authorises the
Speaker of the House of Commons to issue his warrant
to the Clerk of the Crown for making out writs for the
election of Members to serve in Parliament, in the man-
ner therein mentioned, and for substituting other provi-
sions for the like purposes."

. -
Ido hereby give notice, that the death of the Right
Honourable Charles Buller, late a Member serving in
this present Parliament for the borough of Liskeard, hath
been certified to me in writing, under the hands of two
Members serving in this present Parliament, and that I
shall issue my warrant to the Clerk of the Crown to make
out a new writ for the electing of u Member to servein the
present Parliament for the said borough, at the end of
fourteen days after the insertion of this notice in the
London Gazette.

r Ralph Harvey Thompson said that he was formerly a
clerk of Mr. Terence Bellew M'Manus. Was so up to
the time of his leaving Liverpool. It was on a Monday
night, about the end of July. In page 16 of the book
he saw M‘Manus's handwriting. The same handwriting
was also in pages 35, 49, and 92. Knew the prisoner
Murphy. He was intimate with M'Manus. They had
lodged together. Page 41 in the book was i❑ Murphy's
handwriting; also pages 45 and 57, and the signatures
in 93, 106, and 119. Knew the prisoner Delamere. He
was in the employ of Tayleuro and Copley, coal mer-
chants. He had before that been in the employ of Mr.
M'Manus. Pages 62 and 85 in the book were in his
handwriting. Delamere was in the habit of calling on
31‘Manus. Dr. Murphy. Dr. Reynolds, and Smyth were
also in the habit of calling.
Mr. DEARSLEY—Did not Smyth speak in condemns-
nation of M•Manus's physical force notions?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the question.
Thomas Staines knew Dr. Reynolds, and identified
Dr. Reynolds's hand writing in the minute books. He
also identified the handwriting in the books of the pri-
sorter, Dr. O'Donnell.

Thomas Fell, a draper, in Liverpool, identified some

his signature in pages 38, 65, and 83. A file of letrers
was here handed to the witness, twu of which he iden•

Mr. Knowles then proceeded to read in detail from the
minute books found in the possession of the prisoners,
and which had been referred to by the Attorney-General
in his opening address. Amongst the proceedings re-
corded was a protest against the Irish Crime Prevention
Act, and a speech against it by M'Manus and some of
the prisoners. Minutes of subsequent meetings de-
clared war to the Morning Chronicle, Times, Post, and
the press generally.
The minute disclosed a most voluminous account of
the organisation effected, their general correspondence,
and the continued formation of the clubs, and the pro-
gress made in arming. Amongst the correspondence
which the reading of the minutes disclosed was that which
had taken place between the various clubs in Liverpool
and the Confederates in Dublin, and the suggestions
made for a general organisation on the arrest of Martin,
Duffy, and the other Irish prisoners. Several of the
speakers declared that the covenant between the people
and the Government was broken, and that we were with-
out a constitution.

The letters found in the possession of the prisoners
were then read by the Learned Gentleman. One of them
recommended that addresses should be sent to the people
of France from all the large towns in England for their
encouragement, and. in order to attract the attention of
Ministers.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION HOUSE.
Benjamin Masters, Mary, who lived with him as his
wife, and John Thomas, were brought before the Lord
Mayor, in the custody of Davis, a city policeman,
charged with having committed frauds. The two first
prisoners were well known as expert bands, and the de-
scription of their system, which it will be necessary for
trades-people to observe, as the process was stated to be
extremely successful, caused a good deal of interest
amongst the policemongers in attendance.
Davis said—On Sunday evening I say the three priso-
ners in Leadenhall, and knowing them to be bad cha-
racters I watched them. Benjamin Masters left the
other two, and went into the shop of a tobacconist, where
I was afterwards told he bought a pennyworth of to-
bacco, and paid for it with half a sovereign, and upon
receiving the change pretended to reckon it, con-
cealed a shilling, and then told the shopman
that another shilling was wanting. As the custo-
mer persisted in his statement, and the shopman
thought it possible that he might have made a mistake,
the shilling was handed over. Benjamin Masters then
left the shop, joined his two companions, and off they
walked into Gracecharch-street, where in an instant
they disappeared. On Saturday evening I saw the three
again in Leadenhall-street, and followed them. Masters
and the woman went into the Mansion-house public
house, and called for two pennyworth of gin, paid for it
with half-a-sovereign, and received 9s. 10d. in change.
The man suddenly slipped one of the shillings into his
mouth, began to reckon up the change, and said to the
barmaid, " Hallos, this is not right; I must have another
shilling." The barmaid was about to give him the other
shilling, but was informed by the street-keeper, whom I
bad told to keep an eye upon the pair, that the man had
received 9s. 10d. from her. I then took the man and
woman into custody; and the third prisoner, who was
outside smoking a pipe, came in afterwards to see what
delayed his friends, and was also apprehended. Other
witnesses confirmed this account.
Benjamin Masters said, that the first charge was al-
together without foundation, and thought the Lord
Mayor would not suppose the tobacconist to be such a
Rat as not to know the difference between 95. 10d. and
Bs. 10d., especially as a shilling would make a large hole
in the profit in twopence worth of tobacco.—(Laughter.)
As for the last case, he merely put the shilling in his
mouth to see whether it was a good one, and was only
joking when he spoke of a deficiency in the change.
The policeman produced a basket which he had taken
from the woman, and which contained sundry small
articles, each of which must have cost about 2d. or 3d.,
and the presumption was that 10s. or 12s. were plun-
dered from tradespeople iu the mere business of supply-
ing the basket.
Davis said that the prisoners had scoured the metro•
polis with wonderful success, and lived in very nice
style upon the profits of their industry. It appeared
that they kept a book containing a list of the shops they
had visited.
The LORD lfATort said he felt much satisfaction in
seeing before him persons who had been checked in such
a career, and sentenced Benjamin Masters to imprison-
ment in Bridewell, as a rogue and vagabond for three
months, the woman for six weeks, and John Thomas for
one month.
Masters—Well, I hope your Lordship will order that
all the money the officers took from me may be restored
to me.
The LORD MAYOR—Not at all. It shall be entered
upon the beck of your commitment, to be applied to de-
fray the charge of your support in prison.
Mrs. Masters—l hope your Lordship will let me have
my basket and the property in it.
The LORD MAYOR—No. They shall be disposed of
for your support in prison.
Upon going down stairs to be locked up in the cage
until the termination of the day's business, the woman
said to her two companions, in the presence of the police-
man, " Well, I told you not to come into this City.
I knew we'd catch it." A little afterwards they all ac-
knowledged that they had done wonders at the west end
of the town, and that near Chelsea there had been nine
distinct charges, each one of which was true, against
them, but the 00l of an inspector refused to notice any
one of them, and, in the opinion of the female, that was
a neighbourhood which they ought not to have left fur
the City. They all admitted that they had been
in fifty prisons, but there was no law to reach them.
GUILDHALL.
Mr. Benjamin Andrade, butcher, of the College-
market, appeared on a summons before Alderman Hum-
phery, to show cause why he detained 6 stone weight
and 2lbs of beef, the property of eemplainant.
Mr. George Bentley, of Henrietta-street, Manchester-
square, stated that on Saturday morning he went to the
College-market, and purchased three !pieces of ribs of
beef, at .sd. per lb., which weighed 6st. 21bs. He paid
Mr. Andrade the sum of IL Os. 10d., and left the meat
for a short time. On his return he was about to take it
away, when he was prevented by the defendant and his
man, who said that he had agreed to take four bits,
the other being a pprt of the loin weighing 231b5., and on
his refusing on the ground that he never purchased it, he
was told that unless he did take it he should neither have
the meat nor his money. Under those circumstances he
took out the present summons.
The defence set up by Mr. Andrade was, that he sold
the four pieces to the complainant, and told his man to
weigh them, but the latter made a mistake by only
weighing three, and when the weight was called out he
did not notice the difference, in consequence of being
engaged with another person at the back of the pre-
mises. However, shortly after, he asked his man why
he had not weighed the fourth piece, as it was pur-
chased, and on being told it was a mistake, and being
likewise informed that his man had been tampered with
by the complainant, who offered to give him half a pint
of beer to throw a pound weight out of the scale, he
(defendant) was determined to keep Mr. Bentley to the
strict letter of his bargain, particularly as he left the
least valuable piece of meat behind him. He, therefore,
ordered that the meat should not be delivered up, unless
the fourth piece was taken, according to agreement.
The defendant then called his man, who spoke to its
weight, and also swore that the complainant offered to
give him a penny to throw out the pound weight.
Alderman HUMPHERY—Did it not strike you, that if
he intended cheating you, he would have immediately
taken the three pieces away after paying you, instead
of leaving them there and calling again?—Well, I did
not think of that. It did not strike me in that way.
Alderman HUMPHERY—You must return the money
and pay the costs.
The defendant paid the amount directly.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Charles Roland, a Swiss, who fills the office of clerk
at the Swiss .‘Protestant Church in Moore street, was
charged with a criminal assault on Frances Keast, a girl
about thirteen years of age, but of the appearance of a
child of ten years old.
The girl's mother, it appeared, had been separated
from her husband for some years. The prisoner visited
the mother for the last three or four years, and had been
accustomed to sleep in the same bed with the mother
and the girl. About three years ago, the prisoner com-
menced indecently assaulting the girl. The girl told her
mother on several occasions, but was either scolded or
beaten by her. The prisoner continued from time to
time his shameful conduct, accompaniedltfilt
fur
circumstances of disgusting atrocity wholly t
publica-
tion. From the evidence of the girl the prisoner had
more than once committed a capital offence. The gir
at last met with her father, and she told him of the pri-
soner's conduct-and her mother's neglect. The prisoner
was, accordingly, apprehended as soon as he could b.
met with.
In defence, the prisoner said he had been a father to

Ik/sw Docks AT LEITII.—The extensive harbour
works are proceeding with great rapidity. Notwith-
standing the advanced period of the year, and the
storminess of the weather, one hundred tons of stones,
besides rubble work, have been laid down during the last
ten days. About 350 men, masons, carpenters, and la-
bourers, are constantly employed, at wages averaging
from 12s. to 205.; the circulation of so much money in
the town must tell upon the shop trade of the port. But
the greatest boon is to come—the after-good to the port,
from the increased facilities to shipping by the enlarge.
went of the docks, as well as the deep-water entrance,
will shortly be felt by all classes whose interests lie with
the trade and commerce of the town. To the present
Lord Advocate Leith is mainly indebted fur these im-
provements.—Caledonian Mercury.

stroyed.

LIVERPOOL WINTER ASSIZES.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.
Francis O'Donnell, 29, Joseph Cuddy, 32, Matthew
Somers, 23, Robert Hopper, 22, Edward Murphy, 20,
James O'Brien, 22, Martin Boshill, Peter Herbert Dela-
mere, George Smith, and James West, were charged
with conspiracy at Liverpool.
There were eleven counts in the indictment. The
first count charged the prisoners with procuring and
sending arms to Ireland, to be used i❑ the breach of
the peace, and in opposing the execution of the laws,
and for the purpose of insurrection and tumult. The
second count charged them with procuring arms with
intent to send them to Ireland. The third count, to aid
and assist conspiracy in Ireland generally. The fourth
count charged them with an intent to raise insurrec-
tion in England, and to arm and procure arms for them-
selves, and cause others to do so, for the purpose of ob-
structing the execution of the laws and the preservation
of the peace. The fifth count, to incite others to raise
insurrection in England, and to arm and procure arms
for the purpose of obstructing the laws. The sixth and
seventh counts wero similar to some of the preceding,
with a few technical differences. The eighth count
charged the prisoners with inducing persons to form
clubs to create terror and disaff,ction. The ninth, to
form clubs to arm and create terror. The tenth, to ,
form illegal clubs; and the eleventh, to riot and levy
war.

The Attorney-General (Sir John Jervis), the At-
torney-General for the county'palatine (Mr. Knowles,
Q.C.), Mr. Welsby (specially retained), Mr. Crompton,
and Mr. Pagett appeared for the Crown. Mr. Pollock
and Mr. Simon defended O'Donnell, Cuddy, Somers
Hopper, and Murphy. Mr. Tindal Atkinson defended
O'Brien; Mr. James, Boshill; Mr. Segar, Delamere ;
and Mr. Dearsley and Mr. Aspinall, Smyth.
The ATTORNZY•GENERAL stated the case. He drew
attention to the standing in society, of the prisoners, and
proceeded to say that irwould be proved that the pri-
soners had organised themselves to set fire to Liverpool
if the Government would not grant the demands of the
Irish. Mr. Meagher, now convicted of high treason.
came over from Ireland to Liverpool and meetings were
held and clubs formed for the purpose of assisting
the Irish to obtain the Repeal of the Union. He then
referred to the first meeting of the repealers in Liverpool,
in Deeemberlast, when the prisoners were present. He
then readthe minutes of that and subsequent meetings from
the minute book, of which the authorities had obtained
posesssion. It appeared that M4Manus was continually
writing to the disaffected in Ireland, reporting the pro-
gress of the organisation in Liverpool. The Learned
Gentleman continued at length to read from the minutes
of ,tbe different meetings, which disclosed the arrange-
ments made for procuring arms. and the appointment of
different sub-committees to cause their sale and distribu-
tion among the people. No ono, could read those minutes
without being struck with what was intended, and that
the Constitution itself was in danger. He then said he
would read from the speeches of the prisoners, one of
which, delivered by Somers, was the most outrageous
he had ever yet had to bring•before a court of justice.
Amongst other topics, the speaker asked his audience
if they were resisted in Liverpool, and a massacre took
place, what would they do? The answer was " Mos-
cow!" The Learned Gentleman, in continuation from
the speech of Somers, referred to the ob,ervations he
made towards its close, in which he stated that he was
reminded of Warsaw in flames, and that if the
Government did not grant their demands the sky
would be reddened with this Babylon (Liverpool) on
fire. He then cited extracts from speeches delivered by
Dr. Reynolds, who publicly advised the people to get
pikes and guns. He also read from speeches of the
other prisoners at different meetings, in N 1 hich the con-
viction of John Mitchel was alluded to in the most vio-
lent terms, and the people requested to arm for his
rescue. In one of the speeches the speaker observed,
amongst other things, that Lord John Russell had made
a fool of an apostate, the Attorney- General, and that it
would give him great pleasure to see Lord John Russell's
head on the top of a pike. The speaker then stated the
price at which pikes could be had. The Learned Gen
tleman then referred to the arrest of several of the pri-
soners, and to the ,pikes and arms found in their pos-
pession.
A number of police having deposed to taking the pri.
