fullest scrutiny, and if the present application had nod
been made he would himself have sought for a postpone-
ment. He was happy, as regarded the highly respect-
able but unfortunate gentleman at the bar, that the con-
ducting of the prosecution had been taken up by the
Solicitor to the Treasury, as there was no doubt it would
thenceforward be carried on in a fair and impariial pi-
rit, without any desire to crush the unfortunate gentle-
man who was the object of the inquiry. The time which
wou;,; elapse would afford an opportunity for a/lot:ing
the prejoaic6: to subside which the weak and irresole:e
conduct of Mr, BehniZv was calculated to create, 104
his friends, whom he (Mr. Clarkson) was glad to see
crowding around him, in full confidence of his innocence,
would be enabled to bring forward such testimony as
would prove that the whole tenor of his previous life
was abhorrent of the act imputed to him.
Mr. BRODERIP considered the application well-fauruled,
and was happy to find it was not opposed. The case was
a very serious one, involving other inquiries, and the ends
of justice could not possibly be fulfilled if it were hurried
on to the session commencing on Monday, as no reason-
able time would be allowed for preparing the briefs. As
the Coroner had bound over the witnesses to appear at
the Old Bailey on Monday, it would be as well if Mr.
Hayward moved the Central Criminal Court to respite
the recognizances until the succeeding session.
The prisoner was then remanded until WednesdaY;
the 7 h of August, and Inspector Haynes was bound 0"
to prosecute.

UNION-HALL.
Ann Finden Creasy, alias Pain, was brought up for
final examination, charged with obtaining money under
false pretences. Since the last examination several let-
ters have been addressed to the magistrates, relating
various acts of imposition practised by the prisoner 00
different persons, and disclosing that she bad been pre'
viously in custody on charges of a similar ilescriptioth
and examined at Guildhall ; that on a recent occasion
she was taken to the Mansion-house for obtaining it so"-
reign from Mr. Moss, the solicitor of Queen-sheet,
Cheapside, under false representations ; that on the sane
occasion another charge was preferred against the pit
soner by the widow of Captian Headbury, whom she had
duped of a considerable sum of money, besides stealing
her wearing apparel. The prisoner was remanded on
the latter charge, but in the interval Mrs. Headbury de-
stroyed herself by cutting her throat, owing to the ex'
,
citement produced by the base manner in which she boo
been imposed upon by the accused.
Mr. Hill, the landlord of the Red Lien, in Poppin's:
court, Fleet-street, stated that he was one of the victisile
of the prisoner's deception; that she called at his house
and described that she was the holder of Exchequer-
bills to a large amount, and induced him to write to Mr.
Fox Maule on the subject, and at the same time she bor-
rowed two sovereigns of him to proceed with a trial of s
Chancery suit, which would assuredly be decided in her
favour, and would put her in possession of 13,0001.;
that she boarded in his house, and afterwards decamped
without paying ,a farthing. Mr. Hill added that he sub:
sequently ascertained that she was a gross impostor, an
‘1
had swindled several other persons under simaar Ciro
cumstances.

Some other witnesses were examined, when
Mr. COTTINOHAM said that it was evident from the
notes he had just read that the prisoner had no expeo'
taticns of money from the source which she alleged- she
had; that some time since she had a cause pending 10
the Court of Chancery, but it was long since decided
against her. The Magistrate added that it was obvious
the prisoner had been for a length of time going about
and committing the most gross and barefaced frauds 00
the public; that in some instances she had plundered het
dupes of clothes as well as money, and in order to
put
a stop to her career, at least, for some time, he should
commit her for trial.
The prisoner, who said that she should reserve her de'
fence until before another tribunal, was then comtoitts'

DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, JUNE 27.—The Session of the Stater
General was closed yesterday by his Excellency the Ill,'
nister of the Interior, who addressed the Chambers IP
the following terms :
" Noble and Mighty Lords,—The session which is
about to close has produced a happy change in the pro'
vinces of the kingdom.
" The consequences of the disastrous events which 00'
curred in the last year gave reason to entertain the most
serious apprehensions for the financial interests of the
kingdom.
" But the perfect understanding that has prevail
between the Government and the Chambers, when it we!
necessary to agree on salutary measures, and, on the °the'
hand, the exemplary co-operation of the nation iirear;
rying them into execution, have opened to the country
a cheering prospect.
" The budget which has been recently adopted, the
savings which have been made in the funds which were
disposable for the last year, and the suppression of si
considerable number of special funds, are so many facts
which bear witness to the zeal of the Government, not
only in providing for the regular course of the affair.
of the country, but also for the effectual improvement ‘,
its permanent interest.
" The settlement of our financial interests has, however'
required so much time, that it has not been possible t°
lay before you other important subjects of legislation.
It has been necessary to confine ourselve to some specie'
projects of law, most of which have met with your,
approbation.
" Important matters are, therefore, reserved for you
next session, besides others emanating from Art 6 of the
Fundamental Law, and those on the tariff of import, er
port, and transit duties.
"If the spirit of concord continues to prevail in the
energetic efforts which we desire to make, in order to
promote the interest of the country, we may hope for the
most favourable result. In the name of the King, I de'
Clare the present session of the States General to h°
closed." 60°d Teraffi

LOVE OF TITLES IN AMERICA.—A well-known gel?
tleman at Winchester, in this State (Virginia), re;
lated an amusing anecdote to me on this subjee"
Crossing the Potomac into Virginia, with his horse'
„
in a ferry-boat, the ferryman said, " Major, I Nish
you would lead your horse a little forward," which
he immediately did, observing to the man, " I am Iley, a
major, and you need not call me one." To this the
ferryman replied, " Well, Kurnel, I ax your pardoef
and I'll not call you so no more." Being arrived at the
landing- place, he led his horse out of the boat, and said'
" My good friend, I am a very plain man, I am neither
a colonel nor a major, I have no title at all, and ,
don't like them. flow much have Ito pay you?" The
ferryman looked at him and said, " You are the fill'
white man I ever crossed this ferry that warn't jist
body at all, and I swear I'll not charge you nothing.
Featherstonhaugh's Excursion.
THE INSTANT EFFECTS OF OXALIC ACID.—At itn
inquest held before Mr. Higgs, the Coroner for Westminster'
that gentleman stated, in reference to the powerful effect'
of oxalic acid when taken into the stomach of a hull
being, that he once held an inquest in the neighbourhood
Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, of a very novel character;
which fully showed its almost instant influence. Aiyouee
woman went to the door of a gentleman with whom it v 1::
supposed some love affair had sprung up, in which she 1v,.0
disappointed, and deliberately drank a quantity of ozel,il
acid, which she had mixed in some water in a tea-cup.
alarm having been given she was taken to a chemist's
close at hand, and it so happened that the proprietor
making up some medicines which were very strong antxdot7
to this poison, and a quantity was instantly administers
and the stomach pump subsequently applied. ' The pool
had, however, done its work, for having lingered in grt
agony for some time, she expired. On that occasion it W.
stated that if a red hot ball of iron, of the size of a wait?:
could be passed into the stomach, and then removed, the in
juries it had inflicted would not be found to have been
great as those produced by a quantity of oxalic acid, even
as in the present case, its power was neutralised and the Or
mains withdrawn from the stomach.
