POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

LAMBETH- STREET.
Yesterday the poor woman, Mary Every, who had on the day
before applied to Mr. ITAanwwx for his assistance to procure
the restoration of her child, who was detained from her by the
Rev. G. C. Smith, as-he is called, at his asylum in Wellclose-
sqyare, again applied to Mr. WALKER.
Mr. WALKER, after reading over her petition, said that the
case was one in which the Magistrates had no jurisdiction, and
could not interfere in.

The applicant had made many applications to the Asylum
to have her child restored to her, or, if tot, to be allowed to
see it, but had been put off with different excuses until Wed-
nesday, which was called Committee-day. She called on that
day, but instead of being allowed to see and converse with the
child in the usual way, the child was taken to her to the office,
and since then Smith made use of threats, and she was merely
allowed a cursory view of her offspring ; but even in this she
could perceive that the chill was in an emaciated and dan..
gerous state. She further stated that, even though in the
state she described, Smith and his preachers took her out with
them about the streets.

Mr.. WALKER could riot interfere in,the matter; but, at the
same time, said that Smith had no right to detain the child
contrary to the wish of the mother, and the only way she could
get her away was by applying to the Court of King's Bench.
The poor woman expressed her thanks to his Worship for
his kindness, and left the office saying, that unless some gen-
tleman at the Bar had the kindness and humanity to move tho
Court for a writ of habeas for the restoration of her child, it
was impossible for her, from her poverty, to get it done.

COMMITTAL of a MAN for MURDER

SEVEN YEARS AGO.

MANCHESTER, JULY 1.-A few days ago our Deputy-Con-
stable, Mr. Thomas, was called upon by a fellow of the name
of Buckley, who, after some little hesitation, told him he had
some information to give that would perhaps astonish him.
He then began to state, that perhaps he (Mr. Thomas) would
recollect that some seven years since a woman was found dead
in Fishpond-street, Garrett-road, Manchester, by one of the
watchmen. Mr. Thomas, on referring to the journal of re-
ports, found the fact duly recorded. The woman's name was
Eastwood. A mechanic, named Myers, had been in her com-
pany over night at the Union Tavern, Canal-street, almost
immediately contiguous to Fishpond-street, which lies a little
off the main street, or Garratt-road. On the inquest it was
ascertained that Myers, and the woman Eastwood, had been
at the tavern in question ; that both left it together about
eleven o'clock the evening previous to the murder ; and
that they were both beastly drunk. It was also ascer-
tained that the quarrel ran high between them at the inn.
About one o'clock in the morning the cries of a person were
heard as proceeding from the spot where the murder was
committed. The cry was, " Oh, why do you hold my
hands 2" Myers was taken into custody at the time, from the
fact of his having been in her company the previous night,
and from his well-known brutal disposition, rather than from
any positive evidence against him, but be was onthe inquest
discharged. The surgeon on the inquest stated that there was
a wound at the back of the head, but no fracture or extrava-
sation ; and, in his opinion, the woman might have fallen
down in a fit, and from a concussion of the brain, might have
met with her death. The information now given by Buckley
was to the following effect, and confirms in all important fea-
tures the evidence given on the inquest, besides additional evi-
dence to facts that are likely to place Myers in the most
awful situation. Buckley deposed that he saw Myers and East-
wood leave the Union Tavern, and followed them till they
turned up Fishpond-street,•and then heard Myers declare that
he would take her life before they got home, when she cried
out, " Oh, Elijah, don't murder me, and I will keep the child
myself ;" alluding, it is supposed, to her pregnancy by Myers.
They sat down on a step in Fishpond-street, the quarrel still
running very high, and Myers still avowing his determination
to murder her ; and he immediately after got up and struck
her a blow on the back of the head, which instantly felled
her to the ground. Buckley adds, that he was very much agi-
tated when he saw the blow inflicted, and ran away ; and that
his reason for not telling these facts sooner arose from a con-
viction that Myers would be sure to do him some mischief—in
fact, that he should be murdered too, if he disclosed what he
bad seen. The thing, however, of late, had lain with so much
weight on his conscience that he could not endure it any
longer. Myers was brought up again yesterday, when
Buckley was liberated and made evidence against him. A.
man, named Powell, was examined, with a view to corrobo-
rate Buckley, but beinr, a little in liquor, the Bench consi-
dered his flippant mode of answering questions not in unison
with so grave a charge as that before the Court. He will
be examined again, before a final commitment. Myers
was remanded. Other evidence was also recorded betides
Buckley's.

AIRS. NORTON'S NOVEL, " THE WIFE, AND
WOMAN'S REWARD."—" Two tales under these titles have just
appeared, from the pen of Mrs. Norton. A serious of literary
productions, of various kinds, with which this Lady has pre-
sented the public, have established for her a reputation which
some authors of much more lofty pretensions might well envy.
All her writings are essentially feminine. Everything she has
touched upon has been regarded by her in a female point of
view, and although she gives a character and identity to what-
ever she has done, it in no degree diminishes the interest she
seeks to excite, or abates the praise to which her labours are
entitled. There is something extremely curious, if properly
considered, in these female productions. They exhibit new
views of objects which, in their general lineaments, are familiar
enough, but which are seen by women under aspects presenting
very different effects from these .to which masculine specula-
tions lead. Of this class of lady-writers Mrs. Norton is cer-
tainly among the most distinguished."— Tones.

THE LATE EXPLOSION AT WALLSEND.—The
interest attending this melancholy affair was considerably in-
creased on Saturday night, when, on removing the materials at
the bottom of the G shaft, thrown down by the explosion, three
men and a boy were brought up alive. The preservation of
these individuals is miraculous. They had gone down the pit
on the morning of Thursday, about five o'clock, and had thus
been underground, at a depth of 145 fathoms, for 65 hours--
and as the explosion took place at two in the afternoon of
Thursday, they had been literally entombed alive for 56 hours
of the above period. Two of them when taken out were
delirious, and gave incoherent and improbable accounts of what
had transpired ; another had his leg so fractured as to render
immediate amputation indispensable ; the fourth had his hands
and face scorched, but was perfectly sensible. He is now con-
fined to bed from the injuries he received, but is in a fair way
of recovery. —Newcastle Journal.
