THE HAN'S I'EAD ivtURDER.

As yet nothing positive is known as to the day on
which the trial of the prisoner Rocker is to take place ;
but during the whole of yesterday applications were
being made to the Sheriffs for tickets of admission to the
court, by nobbr and distinguished persons, who exprcasr-d
their desire to be present. The excitranent upon the
subject appears to be as great, if inde,d it is not greater,
as at the trial of C, turv, islet.. for the murder of Lord- W.
Russell. and in order
.to p,a,v,nt eonfusion and ine,nc,•-
nience the Sheriffs have tleterrnined that no person -hall
he admitted except by tiekets, and as they mill he issued
for no more persona thau can Is. C:lnVeneritly ac-
commodated in the Court, all unnecessary c• nfu-
sion will be avoided. Tie prosecution will be con-
ducted by. the Solicioir-Genentl, Mr. Bodkin, and two
other counsel, on behalf of the Crown; and Mr. Clark-
son and Mr. Ballantioe are retained to mend the pH-
boner. Jr. vas at first thought probable, on account of
the heavy business At the present session of this Central
Criminal Court. that the trial would not come on berere

time, it it understood to be now arrange I that the trial
shall take place" on Thurday or Frl'ay, but, this will be
finally settled when the judges come down on Wetimes-
day morning. It appears that there are to be two in-
dictments preferred wrtinst the nri-over. one for the
murder, and ani,ther for the robbery; and the fol-
lowing is the form in w,tich the • prisoner

he will 11:. tried for the robbery with vi-lertee, an offence
which, until a receot alteration of th,, statute, was also
capital, but which, at prese et, on,v subjects the party
convicted of it to transportation fur fifteen years.

'We understand that order?, have been iesued by the
Admiralty to discontinue raising men for the Nave. et
is difficult to account for this ; as we believe that the
ships recently eomtnissioned are still coesiderable short
of their established complements. aed we are net aware
that auything has occurred in the asp- ct of our foreign
relations to do away with the necessity of having a small
squedron prepared for any sudden emergency ; indeed,.
the additional grant for the navy was not proposed
this purpose. but to have a hemp squadron for the exer-
cising and training of men and ffiettre What can have
happened to render this training now armee. s.ary

On Sunday nivht as the °wily of Mr. T. French,
residing at 30, Oxendon-street, Haymarket, were about re-
tiring to rest, they were alarmed at hearing an unusual noise
in one of the upper rooms, and knowing their own family were
in the lower part of the house, Mr. French at once instituted
a strict search, and sueceeded in discovering a man secreted
under a bedstead. Mr. French quickly dragged him from
his hiding place; he did not make any resistance, pretere ling
to be drank.—Upon the same evening a man was found
under nearly similar circumstances at Mr. Chambers', 42,W ti it-
comb-street. The men.were both handed over to the police.
On Monday the numerous public asylums for the shelter
of the houseless poor in the metropolis, consisting of those in
Playhouse:yard, Glasshouse-yt.rd, O; le street, Marylebone,
and Market-street, Paclei won, closed for the season. The
number of unfortunate individuals who have received shelter
and food in the above excellent asylums since their com-
mencement, in the early part of December last, has been
upwards of 140,000, many of whom would have perished
from cold and hunger had not those ,places been open to re-
ceiva them.
