WOOLWICH-MONDAY.

ROYAL SAPPERS AND MlNERS.—Lieutenant Wilkin-
son and Lieutenant Farrell, Royal Engineers, seven non-
commissioned officers, one bugler, and thirty-three
privates of the Royal Sappers and Miners, are expected
to embark on Friday next on board the Stebournheath
freight-ship, for a passage to Halifax, Nova Scotia. The
greater number of the men are married, and have large
families, and intend remaining in Nova Scotia on the
expiration of their periods of service. This arrangement
will be of great advantage to the colony in which they
settle, and will relieve this country of a considerable
burden, which the wives and children of soldiers gener-
ally prove, when the number allowed to proceed with the
corps to foreign stations is limited. The plan is worthy
of adoption in every regiment proceeding to colonial
stations, the West Indies or unhealthy climates excepted.
ROYAL ARTILLERY.—One non commissioned officer
and thirty-one gunners of the Ist and 6th battalions are
to embark in the Stebournheath freight-ship, to join
their companies at Halifax, Nova Scotia. The garrison
at Woolwich is very quiet, the ebullition of feeling
betwixt the recruits of the Royal Artillery and the
Royal Marines being promptly checked by the autho-
rities; and there does not appear to be any truth in the
statement that one of the men was stabbed with a
bayonet., as was reported; on the contrary, the men do
not carry bayonets when off duty.

THE MARINE SOCIETY.—Yesterday the annual
visitation of the governors and friends of the above
Society was made on board the Iphigenia frigate, moored
off the Deptford Creek, to inspect and examine the
officers and boys, &c.—The Right ;Hon. the Earl of
Romney in the chair. The report made by Mr. Rust,
the secretary, stated that the boys received on board
during the year were 318, of whom 3 were sent into
the royal navy, 40 into the Indian navy, 227 into the
merchant service and fisheries, and six discharged, and
two have died; remaining now on board 100—making a
total number received on board since 1786 of 26,547
boys, at an expenditure of 110,8831. Bs. 3d. The boys
were examined on reading spelling, writing, &c., the use
of the compass, the torniquet, exercising the sails,
working the great guns, the use of small arms, and
rowing in the boats, in all of which they acquitted them-
selves with great credit—the governors expressing them.
selves perfectly satisfied with the proficiency of the boys
and the discipline and order observed in every depart-
ment of the ship. The Iphigenia being an old vessel,
and requiring a great deal of repair, the Government
have given orders to fit up, for the use of the society,
the Venus, a 42-gun frigate.
THE Rlsc♦ COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—An inquest
was held on Wednesday, on the body of Joseph James,
aged 51, and Alfred Chivers, aged 12i years, whol'ost
their lives by the explosion in the above works the pre-
ceding day. After hearing the evidence the jury re-
turned a verdict to the following effect•—" That the
deceased Joseph James and Alfred Chivers came by
their deaths by an accidental explosion of fire-damp in
the big vein pit of the Wain Virwr colliery." The jury
were unanimous in strongly recommending, for the due
preservation and safety of life and property, that it be
considered imperative by the proprietor of the colliery,
that be direct the big vein openings to be as thoroughly
examined by a fireman as the other portions of the
works; and that in future all fines established in these
works, and infringed by the workmen, be strictly en,
forced. The wounded persons were progressing favour-
ably.—Monmouthshire Merlin.
PUBLIC MEETINGS Is LIVERPOOL.—We under-
stand that the Mayor has, in compliance with the requi
sition of the shipowning interest, called a public meeting
of the inhabitants for Friday next, to consider the pro-
posals of the Ministry to repeal the navigation-laws. In
compliance with the wishes of the Financial Reform
Association, he has convened another great meeting for
the following Tuesday, to deal with the important
question of reduced and equitable taxation.—Liverpool
Albion.

TRINITY TERM.—On Friday next Trinity Term
commences. The arrears in the Court of Queen's Bench
number 117, consisting of eight cases in the special
paper for judgment, and 33 special cases and demurrers
for argument; 61 rules for new trials, and 15 for judg-
ment. In the Court of Common Pleas the arrears are
as follows:-12 enlarged rules, 74 rules fur new trials to
be argued, and 12 for judgment. There are two regis-
tration appeals, and two suspended applications for new
trials. Already 40 demurrers have been entered. The
arrears for this court may be considered as somewhat
considerable.

THE MURDER IN SPITALFIELDS.
i Since the investigation before Mr. Baker, the Coroner,
into the circumstances connected with the murder of
Henry Lazarus, aged 6i years, who was found about
seven o'clock, on the morning of Tuesday last, in the
• yard at the back of the house, No. 16, Tenter-street,
Spitalfields, Mr. Inspector Scott and Sergeant Teakle, of
the H division of police, have been indefatigable in
their exertions to trace out the person or persons im-
plicated in this mysterious affair. They are of opinion
that the unfortunate child was barbarously murdered
in one of the houses leading into the yard, there being
six in communication with it, and not that it was taken
when dead from the street, and placed in the spot where
it was discovered They say it is impossible that the
body could have been carried through the streets at that
time of the morning, and that, therefore, it must
have been concealed in ono of the houses during
the night, and that the death of the poor child
ensued in a very short time after it left its home. Mr.
Gilbert states that death was the effect of strangulation,
and that in the contents of the stomach there was
nothing to show that it arose from any other cause.
It is believed that the clothes have been removed in
order that it might be supposed that the object of the
murderer was the robbery of the clothes. It is thought
that the intention of the person or persons who have
taken away the child's life was, by doing so, that they
were desirous of concealing some act of turptitude which
they were fearful might be brought to light through
him. As yet no clue has been obtained of the disposal
of the clothes, notwithstanding the publicity of the de-
scriptionthe metrboepomliadtane

dress the deceased wore on the day of the murder he re-
ceived from the Jewish Free School, Bell-street, Spital-
fields, at which he was an attendant. Throughout the
whole of Saturday, Sergeant Teakle was in the neigh-
bourhood, making inquiries. There is a strong suspicion
in a short time this mysterious affair will be brought to
light. The members of the Jewish persuasion have
manifested a most intense desire to afford the police
every assistance to its elucidation, and on Saturday night
a committee sat for the purpose of devising steps to offer
a reward for the discovery of the person guilty of the
horrible transaction, A communication has been opened
with Sir G. Grey for a similar object, and an answer has
been received from the Secretary of State, intimating
that pending the investigation before the Coroner, no
interference could take place, and that, in the event of
the jury returning a verdict of " Wilful murder against
some person or persons unknown," that the usual mode

The proceedings appeared
The inquest room was crowded to excites
ff
exterior of the house was surrounded by and the
100 to 200 persons, chiefly membersyoaf mobtb of from
Hebrew
persuasion, attracted by the reports in circular
the extraordinary nature of the evidence , ion as to
which would
be adduced.
Mr. S. Yates, solicitor, of St. Mary Axe, attended to
watch the case on behalf of the deceased's family,
Inspector Scott said, since the jury last met, a lad
known by the sobriquet of "Charley," who went about
begging tied "playing the clappers on bones," at the
east-end of the metropolis, had been taken into custody,
circumstances having occurred which led to the impres-
sion that he could throw some light on the mysterious
affair. The statement he had made was of a most re-
markable character. Mr. Scott added that there was
something in the boy's manner leading to the impression
that he was an idiot, although, on being removed to the
station-house, he answered the questions put to him in a
very,rational way. His statement, which had been taken
down in writing, was to this effect:—That he had seen
the deceased murdered by two lads respectively named
" Jem Paxton," who wandered about reciting selections
from the play of The Bottle, and " Tom Austen," who
worked as a porter at Billingsgate Market. That he
saw them strangle the deceased in the Tenter-ground,
and afterwards strip the body of its clothes,
and carry it through the passage of the house No.
16, Tenter-street, into the yard, where they left
it. That at first the murderers wished him to carry
the body to London-bridge, and throw it into the river;
that he refused to do so, but remained in Tenter-
street until Paxton and Austen returned from the yard
of the house, No. 16, when they threatened to murder
him if he said anything about it, upon which he returned
home.
The CORONER said he would put a few questions to the
party referred to, first cautioning him as to what he said.
He should, however, decline to take anything he stated
as evidence.
The individual was here introduced by a police-officer.
His appearance fully bore out the description given by
the inspector. His right side was completely paralysed,
and as he shuffled into the room he gazed around with
the vacant stare peculiar to half-witted persons.
The CORONER having duly cautioned him, he said his
name was Charles Savage. He resided at a lodging-
house, No. 26, Wentworth-street, Spitalfields. He then
described the circumstance as just mentioned by the
inspector.
Conoxen—What was done with the deceased's
clothes? Witness—They were left in the corner of the
Tenter ground.
CORONER— When did you tell any person of this?—
Witness—On the Tuesday morning.
The CORONER said, the boy's statement was very ex-
traordinary, but ho really could not bring himself to
believe that he was in his right mind. At any rate, he
had better retire for the present, while he went into the
evidence of some of the other witnesses.
Elias Cortesso, coal dealer, of No. 16, Tenter-street,
Spitalfields, was next called. In contradiction to the
evidence of the boy Savage, this witness declared that
ho had stood at his door from eight to ten o'clock on the
Monday night, and was quite certain no person passed
through his house during that period. Witness had no
lodgers, and could not account for the body of the de-
ceased having been found in hie yard.
Phcebe Sothart, of No. 26, Wentworth-court, lodging
house-keeper, said she knew the boy Savage, who occu•
pied a bed for 3d. a night in the second floor of her
house. He got his living, as witness believed by begging.
He had a good recollection. Was of an amiable temper.
Always seemed perfectly harmless, and was fond of
playing with children. On the Monday night he came
home about half past nine o'clock, and, as far as witness
could recollect, did not appear at all agitated. She did
not think Savage was quite right in his mind.
The CORONER here asked Savage why he did not tell
the wituess of what he had seen when;he got home en
Monday night? Savage—Because I thought it would
hurt her feelings.
This observation caused some amazement in the
court, and the CORONER said it only strengthened his
impression that the youth was " daft."
The witness Sothart further described that Savage
came home about half-past nine on Monday night,
adding, that on application of the deceased's friends
about eleven o'clock the same night to know where he
had left Henry Lazarus, he informed them that he had
sent him home at nine o'clock.
Ellen Jones, a neighbour, swore to having seen the
deceased and Savage together at the door of Mr. Laza-
rus's house about nine o'clack on Monday night. About
twenty minutes to ten she again saw Savage at the corner
of Wentworth-street, and on asking him what he had
done with little Henry. he said he had sent him home
about tea minutes previously.
Two other witnesses were here called, who swore that
the boy Savage was in bed at ten minutes after ten on
Monday night.
Hannah Fleming, one of the witnesses examined at the
police-court, repeated her testimony as to having heard
Sarah Rodgers, who is at present in custody under re-
mand, state that she knew who had committed the
murder, but that she would never divulge it.
The prisoner Rodgers, who was present, strongly
denied having given utterance to any such expression.
Mr. Venable; proved having made a post modem
examination on the remains of the deceased. He found
nothing of a deleterious nature in the stomach, and
had no hesitation in ascribing death to strangulation.
By a juror—It would have been impossible for the
deceased to have committed the act himself, seeing the
positic n in which be was found.
The inquiry having already lasted nearly five hours,
The CORONER here said, as it was not likely the jury
would be able to come to a conclusion at that present
sitting, he thought it might be advisable to adjourn at
this stage of the proceedings.
After some discussion on the subject, it was unani-
mously agreed to meet again'on Thursday next at eleven
o'clock.
In the course of, the proceedings the Coroner directed
Inspector Scott to arrest the two parties referred to by
the boy Savage, in order that they might be forthcoming
at the adjourned inquiry.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.—In consequence of the
indisposition of Mr. Charles Kean, attested by a medical
certificate, the appearance of that gentleman and Mrs.
Kean is deferred till Monday next.
ELOPEMENT.—On Saturday night last, about
twelve o'clock, some of the inmates of Bodriggy House,
Phillack, were aroused from their slumbers by a noise in
the court which at the time was supposed to originate from
one of the farm horses having strayed from a field.
Nothing more was thought of the circumstance tilt the
Sunday morning, when, at the usual time of rising, Miss
Catherine Ann Walters, aged eighteen years, the eldest'
daughter of Captain Sampson Walters, now a mine agent
at Chilli, South America, whose wile occupies a part of
Bodriggy House, not making her appearance, her
mother entered her bedchamber and found everything
in a contused state and the daughter nowhere to
be found. An alarm was immediately given
and a diligent search made, but no tidings of
the fair fugitive could be obtained till the
Sunday forenoon, when news was brought to Mrs.
Walters that her daughter had been married that morn-
ing at Phillack Church to a young mechanic working.
at Hale Foundry, named Ley, who must have ob-
tained license previous to the olopeinent. They had
been seen in company together a short time ago; and
Mrs. Walter threatened to confine her daughter
if she continued to give her company to him, but "Love
laughs at locksmiths"--the happy couple are now spend-
ing their honeymoon at the bridegroom's mother's resi-
dence at Phillack Church-town. The bride's mother is
quite disconsolate, and her friends, who are very re-
spectable, have some thoughts of bringing the case into
an Ecclesiastical Court, or of indicting the young man
for perjury.—Cornwall Gazette.

YORK CITY ELECTIO. . pA9V
YORK, MONDAY AFTERNOON.—Tho nomiaria ' •
c.tuthdates for the city at York took place this day, at
hustings erected in St. Sampson's-square.
Mr. Alderman Meek proposed, and Mr. George Lee-
man seconded, the nomination of Mr. William Muardant
Edward Milner, of Nun Appleton, as a fit and proper
person to represent this city in Parliament.
Mr. Frederick Hopwoud proposed, and Mr.liaker
seconded, the nomination of Mr. Henry Vincent, of
Stamford-hill.

Mr. Joseph Swales proposed, and Mr. R. H. Anderson
seconded, the nomination of Charles Wilkins, Esq ,
seraean t-at- Jaw.
Mr. Mu.srxn first addressed the electors. He declared
himself, with regard to the reform movement, as an ad-
vocate for the ballot and household suffrage. He objects
to triennial Parliaments, and reserves himself as to equal
electoral districts.
Mr. VINCENT declared himself a firm supporter of the
four points involved in the present reform movement.
As to household suffrage, he should take that as an
instalment of a debt long due to the people. He is for
the abolition of the game-laws, a revision of the probate
and legacy duties, and of the property and income tax,
so as to impose a larger burden on real and permanent
property. He advocated religious freedom—the word
toleration he repudiated.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS next addressed the Consti-
tuency. He avowed himself in favour of household
suffrage, vote by ballot, electoral districts, and triennial
Parliaments. He opposed the game-laws, and con-
demned our present system of gaol discipline, which
instead of being a corrective of crime, was ons of its
greatest nurseries. He contended that our
,present
system of taxation was unjust and_oppressive: to the
industrious classes.

The SHERIFF then took a show of hands; when large
numbers were held up for Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Vincent.
For Mr. Milner the show was small. A second show
was taken for the two former gentlemen, and ultimately
the Sheriff declared that the show was in favour ;of Mr.
Vincent.

A poll was then demanded by Mr. Wilkins and Mr.
Milner, which was fixed to commence to-morrow morn-
ing at eight o'clock.

vote of thanks to the Sheriff terminated the pro-
ceedings, and the Court was adjourned to ten o'clock on
Wednesday morning, whea the declaration of the poll
will be made.
