'toned, and the female seemed very much hurt at liraring the
name mentioned.
Sarah Young deposed that she resided in Scuth-street,
Manchester-square. She did not know the prisoner, but was
acquainted with the female, who passed as his wife. The fe-
male asked witness to go fur the child to East Lodge.
The Inspector, in answer to a question from Mr. Hall, said
he had orly the persons who took the prisoner into custody at
present in attendance.
Mr. HALL—Hare you no others before them? Inspector—
Yes ; there are about 14 or 1.5 more, but it will take some
time to get them together.
Mr. HA Lt—Then do you wish the prisoner to be remanded?
Inspector—Yes, I do.
Mr. HALL then directed the Clerk to read over the evi-
dence taken to the prisoner.
Clerk—Prisoner attend to the evidence I am about to read.
The evidence was then read over to the prisoner, who listened
with earnest attention.
At the conclusion of the reading of the evidence, Mrs.
Clarke, who keeps the house No. 18, South-street, Man-
chester-square, stepped forward, but she only corroborated the
testimony of the witness Crispin.
Mr. HALL then addressed the prisoner, and said—You are
not bound to say anything, but what you do say will be taken
down, and may be used against you at your trial. It is now
proposed to remand you till Thursday next; if sou wish to
mike any observation upon that application why I should not
remand you, I will hear you.
The prisoner said he had nothing to say, and the further hear-
ing of the case was postponed till Thursday next.
We think it right again to notice the conduct of the sitting
Magistrate. It has already been observed that our Reporters
were refused the usual place allotted to the members of the
Press. Mr. Hall issued an order to the Usher to admit the
Reporters to the Tines and the Morning Herald to the table
usually occupied by attorneys. They were admitted, and
there was plenty of room at the table for others ; but our re-
porters, together with reporters for several other journals, were
told that they must stand amongst the crowd, and if they de-
murred they would be turned out. Shortly after this several
private friends of the clerks were admitted to the places that
were vacant.]

THE ESCAPE AND DETECTION
OF GOOD.
(FURTHER .PA ItTICULA Its.)
The following are important particulars relating to
the escape and the detention of Good, on the correctness of
which the public may implicitly rely. It appears that after
sleeping in the room at South-street, Alanchester-square, on
Wednesday night, he went on Thursday morning to visit
his wife, as already stated, at the east end of the town.
After seeing his wife he proceeded to the Borough, where
he purchased at a clothes shop, which is well-known, the
dress of a bricklayer's labourer, in which he appeared at
the bar of the Police Court yesterday morning. For numerous

labourer out of employment ; but besides this he has, it seems,
nha vaen
previously worked in the trade, and is quite conversant with its
peculiar phraseology. It is believed that he exchanged his
dress at a lodging-house, in which he slept on the Friday night.
On Saturday evening, finding the pursuit of the police growing
rather hot, he determined on leaving London. He took the
Seven Oaks road, and after walking some distance past the
Bricklayers' Arms, he got a lift in a cart with two persons. It
does not appear that these individuals were at all accomplices
in his escape, inasmuch as he went entirely unrecognised by
them. On entering the town of Seven Oaks he left the cart,
and separated from the party. He then took a field road,
avoiding the turnpike, and made for '1 unbridge. He reached
this place in safety. He went to a public-house where he pro-
cured a lodging for the night, and the next evening, under the
name of James Connor, he applied for and procured the employ-
ment in the occupation of which he was arrested, as stated in
another part of our paper.
We understand that Good has said that had it not been for
his accidental meeting with the discharged policeman of the
V division, it was his intention to have left his emplojment,
and after again changing his disguise, to have made for another
part of the country. He expresses a strong conviction tha: by
this means he should have been enabled to have altogether
eluded the vigilance of the police force. Good is said greatly
to enjoy the idea of locking the policeman in the stable, and thus
making a clean way for his escape. His defence is as exoellent as
every other part of his scheme. He Simply declares that he knows
nothing of the body, and that he was as much surprised as any
one could be on hearing that such a thing was found on the
premises. Altogether Good is said to be one of the most acute
and artful of any offender the police have for some time pa
had to deal with. He is, to use an expressive though vulgar
term, " up to every thing," and it is said to be rare that a man
so accomplished in the art of crime has for so short a period
evaded justice. From this it will be seen that the police, to
whom so much blame has been attached, are after all anything
but culpable, and that in the present instance the attributions
of want of energy and ability are at least unjust and unwar-
ranted. The means taken to evade justice were most artfully
designed and most skilfully worked out. 'I he officers employed,
instead of exhibiting any negligence, seem to have been most
vigilant and active, and effected their object in a much shorter
space of time than might, under such circumstances, have been
anticipated.

Good on his way up from Maidstone on Sunday preserved the
strictest silence ; not a word escaped his lips. After he was
lodged in the police-station, however, his demeanour was very
different. He became greatly excited, and frequently fell on
his knees, and put himself in the attitude ot prayer. He is
said to have muttered a great deal, and, as far as could be
judged, in a foreign tongue. His language, however, was not
Irish. Good, although an illiterate man, is said to speak
French, Italian, and other languages very fluently, having
picked up a perfect knowledge ot them during a residence
abroad. A very strong feeling was exhibited by the people
upon the line of road from Maidstone to London. The popula-
tion turned out on every side, and assailed the supposed mur-
derer with groans, hootings, and missiles. The windows of the
post chaise were broken; and at one time it was feared that the
enraged multitude would have torn the carriage to pieces, in '
order to get at the man they would have made their victim.
It was at last deemed necessary to have the vehicle guarded by
a body of mounted officers, on whom was at once enjoined the
duties of keeping the prisoner in safe custody and protecting
him from the mob.

One other piece of information which we have to add will,
no doubt, excite feelings of regret. It is, we believe, the strong
impression of the first police magistrates in London, as also of
many eminent lawyers, that Good cannot under any circum-
stances be arraigned on an indictment for murder ; and, indeed,
that no legal ingenuity can devise a way in which, on the evidence
already collected, he can be tried upon such a charge. In addi-
tion to the facts that no murder can be brought home to Gocd,
on the evidence as at present shaped, a great difficulty also
occurs from the circumstance that an indictment for murder must
contain, as an essential ingredient, seine allegations to be sup-
ported by proof, as to the way in which the murder was committed.
Now, on the face of this case, it is clear that little short of
a miracle can bring to light any such fact. The murderer
has himself destroyed all proof of the way in which his crime
was committed. No one can tell whether the woman was
killed by a blow en tbe head, by the cutting of her throat, or
by what other means. Certainly if it should prove that this
view of the case holds good, it will be one of the most remark-
able instances ever known of the entire superseding of every
moral conviction by the necessity for legal testimony.
CONDUCT OF THE PRISONER IN THE BOW-
STREET CELL.
On Sunday night, shortly after the prisoner was placed in one
of the cells at the station in Bow-street, he had a pint of coffee
and three thick slices of bread and butter brought to him, at
his own request,.which he ate and drank with an apparently
keen appetite ; and during the night he talked a great deal with
the constables who were oppointed to sit up with him.
He is remarkably cool and indifferent in his behaviour, and pro-
fesses utter innocence of any crime, although he admits that ap-
pearances are "rather black against him." The constables
cautioned him against saying anything to them which he did
not wish repeated ; but he continued to talk freely through
the night, and even spoke in a light manner of having
locked the police-constable Gardiner, and the two lads,
in the stable at Putney, appearing to think the matter a re-
markably good joke. lie admits that he was in company with
Jane Good en the Sunday night, and that he took her with him
to his master's stables, in Putney Park-lane; but says he
knows nothing as to what became of her after that. He also
told the constables that when he ran away from Putney Park-
lane, he came directly to London, 'and, on arriving
opposite the Spotted Dog, in the Strand, took a cab,
and proceeded to Whitechapel, and thence went to his
wife's house; after which he pledged the articles which were
found at the pawnbroker's, in Brick-lane, Spitalfields.
About three o'clock yesterday mornint, he became rather heavy,
and fell off to sleep. He remained sleeping until shortly after
five, when he woke up and had breakfast—namely, a pint of
coffee and bread and butter, as on the overnight.
The greatest curiosity was manifested by the public to get a
sight of the culprit, and previously to the hour of his examina-
tion, numbers of persons assembled opposite the station in Bow-
street, in hopes of getting a sight of him as he was taken
thence over to the Court on the other side of the street.
About half- past nine Inspector Busain arrived at the station-
house in Bow-street, with the witnesses who were examined at
tke inquest.

SUFFOCATION OF SEVEN VALUABLE lIORSES.-011
Friday evening, between ten and eleven o'clock, as a person
was passing by the stabling of Mr. Goring, an extensive car-
cass and contracting butcher, at Staines, he observed smoke
issuing through the crevices of thq shutters and doors. lie
immediately gave an alarm of fir,:, and upon the doors being
opened the whole of the interior was found to be so thickly
tilled with dense smoke-, 'which proceeded from a heap of half-
consumed hay and 'straw in one corner, that it was some minutes
before any one would venture in, from the fear of being suffo-
cated. Water was soon procured, and the fire from the ignited
and smouldering straw speedily quenched. The seven horses,
however, which had been left for the night upwards of two
hours before, were found lying in their stalls dead from suffoca-
tion. Every means were speedily resorted to in the hope of
restoring them, but they wet e totally ineffectual. It is sup•
posed that a spark must have fallen from the candle of the last
person who was in the stable, and thus have caused the ignition
of the straw, and the unfortunate loss to Mr. Goring.
13Russ ims, Amt. 16.---We are assurefl that the
King will return to Brussels on the 2lst or 22d of this month.
his Majesty, it is said, will go back to Paris, to be present on
the Ist of Alay, at the anniversary of the fete of the King of
the French. We have a melancholy piece of news to commu-
nicate to our readers. M. Van den hove, of Diest, Member
of the Chamber of Representatives in the arrondissement of
Louvain, drowned himself the day before yesterday in the
Scheldt, near Antwerp. Ile had just gone on board tho Bri-
tish Queen steamer, intending to execute his fatal project, but
soon renounced it. Ile had scarcely landed, when he em-
barked on board the steamer serving as a passage boat, went
to the Tete de Flandre, and, on his return, threw himself into
the river. It is said that he had lost large sums on 'Change,
and that was the cause of his suicide. The Courrier Berge,
however, says, " We do not believe that a small pecuniary
loss could have induced him to put an end to his life, since he
had but to speak a word to obtain millions from a friend, who
is extremely rich."
The General Steam Navigation ('rnt►ltany'r vessel
the Columbine, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom-
house on Sunday, with the Dutch mail.
