John Cross was charged by a patrol with letting off fire-works
in Castle-street, Leicester-fields. As it has been frequently de-
cided that spurn arc dangerous missiles, he was tined 20s.
CuatoustotNcinENca.—.Ann Copeland and Louisa Jones,
were charged with stealing a handkerchief from the shop of Ben-
jamiu Mather, of Covent garden. They went into the shop under
pretence of purchasing, and secreted the same handkerchief which
had been stolen a short time before by two men, named Maltby
and Jones, who were both transported for the offence at the last
01(1 Bailey Sessions.
The two girls were pursued and taken by the same lad who had
taken the other thieves, and the handkerchief was found on Louisa
Jones, who like the other Jones, was committed, with a great pro-
bability of following him still further, namely, to the hulks.

MATTON-GARDEN—(Tnts DAY).
SAFFRON-,Hitt, MußDEß.—Between nine and ten o'clock
this morning, William Lee, proceeded to the House of Correction,
for the purpose of bringing Ambrose to the lock-up room of the
Office. On being called to the front yard he said, "Ah ! Mr.
Lee, what, you are come early ; well, God bless you for that,—
I'm innocent of any intentional crime, and it an't pleasant to he
hooted at," (alluding to what passed on Friday last, when going
from the office.) When Lee asked him how he felt himself, he
maid never better, either in mind or body, except that he was very
cold ; he then added quickly, " I know I shall be committed, but
a Jury will acquit me ; for (very earnestly), God knows I never
intended injury to the poor woman, though 1 wanted to get rid
of her,—but not by such horrid means." On being told that it
was publicly stated, that he came to London to give himself into
the hands of justice, he strongly denied it, and said, that although
he never for a moment intended concealment, yet he did not con-
template a voluntary surrender. He entered the office of the pri-
vate door, and was immediately taken to the lock-up room, pre-
paratory to his examination.
At eleven o'clock W. L. RoGr as, Esq., the Presiding Magis-
trate, having taken his seat, and the witnesses being in attendance,
the examination commenced. . _

On the prisoner's being placed at the bar, Mr. Rogers said, that
he understood a true bill had been found against him by the Grand
Jury at the last October Sessions, and asked Bamley if such was
the case. _ _

Darnley said that lie had been instructed to file a bill which had
been given out se a true one. He had, however, just been to the
Old. Bailey, and convinced himself that it Was correct. The cer-
tificate wail then making out. Witnesses all spoke to the Coroner's
Inquest being held, and a verdict of Wilful Murder returned.
George Thomas was then examined.--fle lodged in the next
room to the deceased on the same floor. Her name was Ann
Perry, though she was generally called Mrs. Ambrose, having
lived for a considerable time with the prisoner as his wife. On
witness coining home on the night the murder was supposed to
be committed, he went to his room about ten o'clock, and
heard the prisoner and deceased quarrelling dreadfully, and
sonic heavy blows given. The prisoner continued to use
the most horrid language to the deceased, and afterwards ano-
ther violent blow was struck, which was followed by a heavy fall,
the deceased's voica was not heard again. On Tuesday the land-
lord, and Mr. Robinson, who lodged in the room underneath the
deceased, went up stairs and found her weltering in her blood, in
which situation she was also seen by witness. She was lying on
the eight side, and concealed by some chairs, covered with a large
sack. Deceased was often absent for days together, during which
time another female cohabited with the prisoner. Witness thinks
prisoner was sober on the night; in fact he never knew him
otherwise. .

William Robinson, a bookbinder, stated that be lived in the
apartment immediately under that occupied by the prisoner and
deceased. He did not hear any quarrel on Saturday night. On
Monday morning the prisoner brought down a flat iron previously
borrowed by the deceased, and then said that his wife had not
been home all night. On Tuesday morning, suspecting all was
not as it should be, he knocked at the prisoner's room door, and
receiving no answer went in. He then saw deceased as described
by the last witness.—This testimony was confirmed by Mr. Jay.
Mr. Shepherd, surgeon, examined the body, which exhibited
some very severe bruises in many places, but particularly about
the head and temples. These contusions no doubt occasioned her
death.

ME. ROGERS DOW asked Ambrose whether he wished to say any
thing more.
Prisoner—Your worship it is all right., but I should like to say
a few words if yin► will please to hear me. He then went on to
repeat what he had before stated, protesting hie innocence, and
asking the Magistrate to hear Mr. Walker speak in his behalf.
Mr. ROGERS said that would he no kind of service at present.
He was then fully committed for trial. He says he is fifty-
eight years of age.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE, OR ALL FOR LOVE.-
A story was current on . Saturday, of a young gentleman having
attempted to poison himself under very singular circumstances.—
He had, it is stated, paid his addresses to a young lady, who did
not feel disposed to favonr his suit. His attachment, however,
to the fair one continued unabated ; and he appears to have for-
med the desperate resolution of either conquering her dislike to
his person, or of killing himself in her presence. lie called at the
lady's house one night last week, and, on meeting with a repulse,
terrified the inmates by drawing forth a pistol, with which he
seemed ready to blow out his brains. He was, however, pre-
vailed upon not to commit suicide just there and then; the pistol
was taken from him, and he reached his home uninjured. But,
his lore for the lady remained as

pay another visit to his adored. Accordingly, (so goes the story,)

ENGLISH CATHOLIC MEETING.

(THIS DAY.)

A General Meeting of English Catholics, was held this day, at
the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, pursuant to public adver-
tisement. The Chair was taken at two o'clock, by the lion. Mr.
Clifford. Mr. Charles Butler, the Rev. Dr. Collins, Mr. Blount,
and several other distinguished Catholic gentlemen were present.
The CHAIRMAN briefly stated that the meeting was coareued
for the purpose of adopting a Petition to Parliament, and that a
Petition was already prepared, which had been submitted to the
Committee of the British Catholic Association, and having met
their concurrence, would shortly be submitted for the conside-
ration of the meeting. He also observed that Catholic Emend-
patios, was identified with the best principle's of civil and religious
liberty.—(Applause)---and that the happiness and 'freedom of all
sects and parties could be beat promoted by the predominance of
such principles, as opposed to what was improperly called
Protestantism. The Catholics, when they el aimed emancipation,
required nothing that could be likened to ascendancy. Often as
this had been observed, it was not generally undcretood.that .all
the Catholics of Great Britain and Ireland demanded or re-
quired was, a participation in those privileges which were
the natural birth- right of Englishmen. The effects of the
" No Popery" cry, however, were most advantageously neu-
tralised by the efforts of the British Catholic Associa-
tion appealing to the public through the medium of the
Press. (Hear.) All the Catholics of England asked was, the
exercise of those rights which they had from God, and which he
would designate the Divine right of the people. (Applause.)
Religious liberty which was nothing more than the power of wor-
shipping God according to our consciences, was the first right of
mankind. Yet, a great body of the people of England
were uninformed on these subjects; and when one talked of
Catholic Emancipation, he was set clown as an enemy to the
Church and State, and when one spoke of civil and religious
liberty, he was looked upon as little better than an Atheist. It
was said that Catholic Emancipation would be destructive, but
this he disbelieved, when he saw Protestant Nobles and Bishops,
Members of both Houses of Parliament, supporting Catholic
Emancipation. He knew that Protestantism was sometimes de-
fined, as the exclusion of Catholics from all places of power and
emolument.; But he (Minot believe that this was a good definition
of Protestantism, he hoped the Protestants would achieve the
greatest of all victories, that over their own prejudices, and that
Protestants and Catholics at no distant period, would be united,
and add by their union to thenational strength. (Applause.)
The Hon. Mr. Prrax recommended a decided but temperate
course in their Petitions to Parliament. Since the last meeting
the Catholics had gone through the ordeal of a general
election. They were ou their trial before the people
of England, and the people of England had returned a
verdict in their favour. The cry of "No Popery" was sought
to be raised, and succeeded in some contemptible placesi but in
all great counties and towns it had failed,---and failed from
the good sense of the. people of England. Several other Gen-
tlemen addressed the Meeting at great length, and proposed
various resolutions, declaratory of the right of Catholics to man-
cipation, and expressing the opinion of the meeting as to
the expediency of petitioning Parliament. The Resolutions
were unanimously agreed to, and a Petition founded upon threat
was finally adopted. •
Thanks were proposed to Lord Somers, for the liberal senti-
ments expressed by him, in a letter dated 234 October last, and
addressed to the Honorary Secretary of the Herefordshire Pitt
Club, wherein he intimated his resolution of withdrawing
from that body in consequence of their determination to oppose
Catholic Emancipation. Such conduct on the part of him Lord-
ship the meeting considered to be calculated to cement the happy
union of Great Britain and Ireland in one con..tolidated kingdom,
and one great interest. _ _

The Meeting had not separated when ws went to press.
