NEW COURT.

Dick Bowers, whose name has appeared in the pa-
pers on several occasions, charged with the offence of
duffing, was indicted for stealing a shawl, a piece of
glazed calico, and a pair of gloves, the property of
Mr. Thomas Moss Phillips.
Prisoner protested his innocence, and, like some
other equally amiable persons about town, com-
plained of the injury done to his character, by the
publications respecting him in the newspapers.

The DEPUTY RECORDER told him that the Court
had nothing to do with what was in the newspapers.
The Jury found him Guilty.

MURDER OF MR. WATERHOUSE.

(From the Huntingdon Gazette of July 14.)
FURTHER PARTICULARS RELATIVE TO THE MURDER OF

THE REV. J. WATERHOUSE, AND SURRENDER OF ziEDDINGs,

" Late on Thursday night Heddings, whom the
officers have been searching for during the whole of
the week, surrendered himself to the Keeper of the
House of Correction. It seems he had concealed
himself in a hovel, near New Pasture Common, near
this town, since Monday last, anfl seeing no chance
of escape, and most likely tired of his retreat, disco-
vered himself to the shepherd of the common, and
wished him to fetch the Keeper of the House of
Correction, to whom he would surrender himself.—
He then made a statement of what he knew of the
horrid murder; and there now remains no doubt
whatever but the man committed upon suspicion,
Joshua Slade, is the murderer. No public exami-
nation has yet taken place, but the following is the
statement of Heddings, who said that Slade com-
municated to him, about three o'clock in the after-
noon of the murder, the manner in which
the murder was committed. Slade told him :
I got into the old fellow's house a little after nine
o'clock in the morning, when the old man had
stepped out, and secreted myself. I thought the
old man was out, but the old man saw me, and said,
What, are you here again ?' He seized me by the
collar; I got away, and he ran after me to the gar-
den door, where he caught me by the jacket, and
pulled me back, and seized me by the neckerchief
and throat, when we had a desperate struggle, and
I thought at one time he (Waterhouse) would have
choaked me; but I kept jobbing at him with the
bill in the throat, hacking and striking him about the
head and face, and at last I became too powerful for
him. The old fellow at last dropped, and I threw
him in the tub; at this time I heard the dog barking,
and I went to see if any one was coming. I thought
it was all up with me, and somebody there; but find-
ing no one coming, I went back to the old man in
the tub, and found him groaning, and heaving him-
self on his side. I thought he was getting the bet-
ter of it, so pulled out my knife, and quite despatched
him. Heddings, on surrendering himself, was in a
very exhausted state, not having taken any refresh-
ment since Monday, nor ventured from his place of
concealment. The whole of this unparalleled trans-
action has been investigated with the greatest de-
spatch, and the country is deeply indebted to J.
Torkington, Esq., our worthy Magistrate. A few
days ago application was made to the Secretary of
State for a police officer, to assist in the discovery
of the murderer, when Mr. Sturges Bourne, with
the greatest promptitude, sent. down Ellis, of Bow-
street; but, before Ellis could enter into prompt
exertion, the disclosure narrated above had taken
place. We have not given so full a statement of
this affair as we could have wished, but sufficiently
so for general information. Had we proceeded into
more minute details, and related every circumstance,
we might, probably, by the publicity given to it,
defeat the ends of justice. Heddings will be con-
fronted with Slade before the Magistrates this day
(Saturday.)

MADRID, JUNE 20.--SPANISH TRANSLA-
TION OF SCOTT'S CRUSADERS.--A translation
of the Crusaders has just appeared here, and it
is read with such avidity, that a considerable
number of copies have already been sold. This
is the first work of Sir Walter Scott's that has
been translated into Spanish, but as it is circu-
lated in Saragossa, Valladolid, Seville, Cadiz,
Barcelona, and Valencia, there is little doubt
that the translator will apply himself to the other
novels of this celebrated writer, who seems likely
to become as popular in Spain as he has long
been in France. I have read the work over
carefully, and it is but justice to say, that the
peculiarities and beauties of the original are
rendered with- considerable skill. The three
volumes, beautifully printed, are sold for about
six:
