At Warwick James Crowley was indicted for the wilful
murder of William Tilsly, in 1842. The circumstances of
the case will be fresh in the recollection of our readers. The
father of the prisoner being apprehensive of danger from his
violence, had employed; Tilsly to watch him. On Christ-
mas-day. 1842, the prisoner asked admittance to hid father's,
and on being refused by Tilsly, shot him dead, and then made
his escape to America, from whence he returned in 1844, and
was captured. He was found guilty and sentenced to death,
without hope of mercy.

accordingly sent to that place for examination.
At the Thames Police Court, Edward Farwey, the master
of a school for the education of poor Irish children, in Princes-
square, Ratcliff Highway, and which is under the control of
the Roman Catholic priests in the district, appeared before

The meteorological observations made at the gardens of
the Horticultural Society, at Chiswick, show the late winter
to have been the most protracted and severe for many years
past. From the Ist of December the mean temperature was
34 degrees, being lower than that of any similar period in the
present century, with the exception of that of 1813-14, when
it was one and a half degrees lower. March exhibited a lower
mean than any similar month since 1797 ; and the mean of
February was lower than that of any in the present century,
being 33 deg. 12 min., or 8 deg. below the average. The mean
temperature of December was 33 deg. 4 min., or nearly 7 deg.
below the average.
On Thursday night, between the hours of nine and ten,
some persons passing along the Hackney-road discovered
that a fire was raging in one of the rooms on the first floor
front of the Refuge for the Female Destitute. The neces-
sary alarm having been given, the matron hastened to the
room, when she found the bed and furniture in a general
blaze. Without loss of time the whole of the inmates, to
the number of nearly eighty, were aroused, it being feared
at one period that the fire would extend throughout the
spacious range of premises ; but, owing to the exertions of
the residents, they succeeded in confining the flames to that
portion of the establishment wherein they originated, and
the services of the engines were not required. The damage
is exclusively confined to the destruction of the bed and
furniture.
A few days ago an English vessel from China went &store
near Etaples (Pas de Calais). The crew, consiattig of 17
persons, were saved, and hopes were entertatied that this
would be the case also with the vessel an cargo, which were
estimated at nearly 100,000/. ; but. appears, by an account
of same of the journals, that tley have been wholly lost.
A great number of vends cleared from the port of New-
castle, on Tuesday last, for Quebec, it being the first day of
the season on, which vessels of the United Kingdom can, in
accordance with their insurance policies, sail for America.
On the following day a still greater number took their de-
parture, the wind blowing briskly from the west.
Very extensive and long-required improvements are about
being made at the Guildhall police-court, during which time
the examination of prisoners will be heard in one of the

RECOVERY OF SPCHINA ECIE F ROMS A WRECK IN THE
SEA.
Advices were received at Lloyd's yesterday from Hong-
Kong, giving accounts of the recovery of about 150,000
dollars, from the wreck of a ship sunk in two fathoms, on a
reef situated in lat. 8 deg. 61 min. 13 sec. N. ' • 112 deg.
37 min. 43 sec. E. ofGreenwich,by Captain Carlos Cuarteron,
of the Spanish brig Martini's de 'lnn itin.
The Captain, on discovering the wreck, examined
her, and took from her a bill, chronometer, and a
sextant, as well as the specie above-named, but,
owing to the decayed state of the timber, having
rotted, no clue to the owners could at present be found
of the ship, and the boxes in which the specie was deposited
The wreck is described to have been a ship of about 400 tons,
oak built, and apparently English. At Bina° the general
belief was that the wreck was the remains of the ship Chris-
tina, Captain Brownrigg, which left that port on July 8, 1842,
for Bombay, and was wrecked near the above spot ; the
Captain and a portion of the crew perished, while the mate
and a boat's crew succeeded in reaching Manilla. The cap-
tain of the Spanish brig had deposited the whole amount in
safe custody, to be delivered to such parties as could prove
their right to it.

RAILWAY COLLlSlON.—Yesterday morning, while
the Ayr mineral train for Paisley was leaving oil' coal wag-
gons at the King-street depot, a goods train from Ayrshire
came up ; the engine driver of which not paying attention to
the regular signal given at. the station, his engine came in
contact with the waggons in the rear of the coal train. The
consequence was, that three of these waggons, as also the
luggage train engine, received slight injury, but little or no
interruption was experienced by the passenger trains.—
