CLERKENWELL.

A young gentleman, named John Frederick Grace,
was brought up on summons, charged by a foreign gen-
tleman, of the name of De Spratz, with committing the
rather graceless act of an assault.
A professional gentleman attended on behalf of the
complainant ; but he stated that the case would not
be entered into at any length, as the complainant was
not desirous of pressing the charge. It would, there-
fore, be sufficient to state, that Mr. De Spratz, a
German gentleman, highly distinguished for his literary
and scientific attainments, was present on a day last
week at the Hunterian School of Medicine to hear a
lecture delivered by Dr. Flood, at the conclusion of
which he was suddenly, violently, and without the
slightest provocation, assaulted by the defendant. Mr.
De Spratz, being considerably advanced in years, and very
feeble and infirm, had felt it necessary for his own per-
sonal protection to take the present proceedings against
Mr. Grace ; but as the parties had once stood in the re-
lation to each other of preceptor and pupil, Mr. De
Spratz was willing that the affair should end in the Ma-
gistrate binding over the young gentleman in such way
as he might think advisable to keep the peace towards
the complainant.
Mr. GREENWOOD asked the defendant whether he
would promise not to repeat the conduct complained of,
and whether he would enter into his own recognisances
to secure the performance of his promise. This, he pre-
sumed, would satisfy the complainant's wishes.
The Solicitor said that was all that was wanted.

The defendant said he was perfectly ready to give the
required promise, and enter into the proposed security
for its due performance.
The Solicitor—The fact is, your Worship, Mr. De
Spratz is desirous not only of securing his own protec
tion against violence, but of protecting this young gen-
tleman against himself.
The complainant here begged to add some explana-
tion ; but as he appeared to be about to enter into some
matters connected with the family concerns of the de.
fendant, the Magistrate politely refused to hear him.
The defendant was then bound over in his own rettog
nisance to keep the peace towards the complainant, and
the parties retired.
THAMES OFFICE.
On Monday George Atkinson, a sailor boy, was brought
btfwe MI!, Bpalagtilie, charged wish briOang into the

ship Amelia, in the London Dock, and stealing therefrom
property to a considerable amount belonging to John
Silk Buckingham Miller, the mate, and Jenkin
the Custom-house officer stationed on hoard.
It appeared in evidence thas on Friday night last, the
mate and the Custom-house officer were both sleeping in
the cabin ; the former in the state-room, and the
other upon a mattress on the floor of the
cabin. About midnight, the mate was aroused by a
voice in the cabin, and heard a box of cigars thrown
down which he had left on the table before he retired
to rest. He listened and heard some one feeling about
and searching the lockers. After thislhad continued some
time, the mate called out to the Custom-house officer,
"Is that you, Cullen?" And Cullen, who had also been
aroused from his sleep, and was listening to the move-
ments of the intruder in the dark, put the same question
to Miller. The noise ceased,' and the mate and officer
supposing the noise was made by the dog kept in the
cabin, composed themselves for sleep again, but were
soon disturbed by the animal barking loudly, and both•
got up together. A figure darted past the mate, ran
through the state-room where Cullen was, and went up
the companion ladder which leads on to the deck. The
revenue officer and the mate hastily slipped on their
clothes and went in pursuit of the robber, who was seen
to make his way on deck. An alarm was immediately
raised, and Blayney, a policeman, No. 91 H, on duty upon
the quay, came on board, and was told the thief was in
the galley. Blayney turned on his light and saw the hand
of a " human being, like a man's hand, on the galley
door." Blayney hesitated a moment, and then called
out, " Now, my young gentleman, turn out of that."
The prisoner did turn out, by making his escape through
the opposite doorway, ran across the deck, and endea-
voured to get on board the ship Belvidere alongside.
The prisoner, while stepping from one vessel to the
other, slipped and fell between the two. " Its all over
with you, young gentleman," exclaimed the policeman.
" No, its not," said the mate, who with all the gene-
rosity of a British tar flung a rope with a bowline into
the water, which the lad was fortunately enabled to
lay hold of, and was instantly hauled on deck in a
most pitiable condition. Miller forced a glass of warm
grog down his throat, and then asked him why he had
boarded the ship. The boy made no answer, and other
officers were called on board, who found that the
mate's chest bad been overhauled, and everything
turned out of it. On searching the galley where
the prisoner had secreted himself, Walker, a Thames-
police inspector, found two pairs of white duck trousers,
and a silk handkerchief, belonging to the mate, which
had been removed from his chest. A knife and other
articles belonging to Miller were also found upon the
boy's person. The Custom-house officer, on looking over
his clothes, found the pockets had been emptied of 10
sovereigns, a knife, and some halfpence. The gold was
contained in a purse. Walker soon ascertained that the
prisoner belonged to the Belvidere, a ship bound to Con-
stantinople, whose bowsprit overhung the taffrail of the
Amelia, and that the prisoner bad passed froth one
ship to the other, and had removed some property
from the Amelia to the Belvidere, and had returned
to the cabin of the former vessel for more, when the
upsetting of the mate's cigar-box disturbed him and
the Custom-house officer, and led to the prisoner's
detection. A. Thames-police constable, named Fraser,
on searching the Belvidere, found the revenue officer's
money concealed on the top of a hammock-batten
in the forecastle, and the purse in the boy's chest. On
further search, a case bottle, containing Holland's gin,
stolen from the cabin of the Amelia, was found in the
Belvidera's forecastle, which Miller said he had left on
the cabin table before he went to bed. Fraser also dis-
covered in the prisoner's berth two bottles containing
beer, which he admitted having taken out of a cask, and,
upon examination, 16 bottles of porter were missing
from three casks on board the Belvidere, which had been
taking in a cargo of beer for Constantinople. The empty
bottles were found in the prisoner's berth, and the mate
of the Belvidere said the lad had been groggy for seve-
ral days, and he had no doubt he drank the porter.
The various cases having been clearly made out
against the prisoner, who made no defence,
Mr. BALLANTINE committed him to Newgate for trial.
It was stated that he had been apprenticed to the sea
service five years, and was just out of his time.

THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE
OF CHILD BURNING.
ADJOURNED INQUEST.

On Monday at three o'clock this inquiry, so extraordi-
nary in its nature, was proceeded with before William
Cartar, Esq., the Coroner for Surrey, at the Ship Ta-
vern, Walcot-place, respecting the death of Anna Christ-
mas Crowne, aged 16 months, who was alleged to have
been wilfully burnt by Juliana Easter, who was in the
service of Mr. Crowne, of Walcot-square.
The first day's proceedings appeared in this journal
on Saturday last, and it will be remembered that on the
previous investigation the Coroner, after hearing the
evidence, directed the girl Easter to be placed in custody.
Mrs. Ann Christmas Crowne was called in and said,
that on her return home with her husband on Christ-
mas-eve, at half-past six o'clock, she found the deceased
in the arms of the girl ; it was then trembling vio-
lently; she tried to pacify it but could not, and Easter,
upon being asked, said she had done nothing to the
child. Mr. Crowne inspected it, and found the body
burnt or scalded upwards. Mr. Scott was called in and
afterwards Mr. Howitt, who attended her until she died,
on Sunday week. On the evening of the occurrence,
she told the girl to explain how it happened, as the
Doctor would be sure to find it out. Easter then said
that the child was lying on the hearth-rug, and as she
was taking the kettle off the water fell over it. Wit-
ness sent her away instantly. Easter told her, although
this had taken place at three o'clock, she had done
nothing to the child, nor had she told any one of it.
To the Coroner—The child's clothes were perfectly
clean, and had received no injury. They did not appear
as if the had been burned. The child did not like Easter.
To a Juror--There was no sign of any water having
been on the clothes or rug ; but it was a distinct mark of
a burn, as if the child had been placed on something hot,
which she believed had been done; there was a large fire-
guard before the fire.

- Mr. Howitt said he had no doubt, from the appearance
of the wounds, that they were caused by burns, which
were the cause of death. There was also a mark of vio-
lence on the elbow and at the back part of the head. The
burns were deep.
The CORONER then cautioned Isabella Martini, or
Easter, that she need not say anything unless she pleased,
as it would be used for or against her.
After some hesitation she said that she was sitting be-
fore the fire, and turned the child's clothes up to warm
it, when she fell asleep and it slipped off, which awoke
her, and upon lifting it up it was blistered.
This was the whole of the evidence of this singular case.
The Jury, after some consultation, returned a verdict
of—Accidental death.

The CORONER called the girl in, and told her to be
cautious for the future; she had told three different sto-
ries, and had been on the brink of being sent to Newgate.
The inquiry excited great interest up to its close.

A MAN SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR KILL•
ING A GOAT.—At the Parsonstown Quarter Sessions,
Patrick Collins was placed at the bar ; he was found
guilty at the last October Sessions, 1841, for wil-
fully and maliciously killing and slaying a goat.
At that time several objections were urged by Mr.
Adam Mitchell, on behalf of the prisoner, to the in-
dictment, which objections have been overruled by
the Law Officers of the Crown and Clerk of the Peace.
"Patrick Collings, what have you to say why sen-
tence of death should not be passed upon you?" The
prisoner made no reply. His Worship (W. N. Barron,
assistant barrister) said, " Patrick Collings, you have
been tried and found guilty, on the clearest evi-
dence that ever came before a Court of Justice—evi-
dence that you have not attempted to impeach—of
a crime for the commission of which you have incurred
the severest penalty of the law, namely, the forfeiture
of your life. It is, therefore, my painful duty to
pass the awful sentence of death upon you ; but I hope
the Executive will take your case into their merci-
ful consideration, and I shall not fail to make a
suitable recommendation, on your behalf, to the Lord
Lieutenant, who will exercise that mercy which is vested
in him by the prerogative of the Crown, and com-
mute your sentence to banishment from your native
land beyond the seas, for the term of your natural life."
His Worship then named the Bth of February, 1842,
for the unfortunate man's execution. The prisoner,
who looked deadly pale, and who trembled dreadfully
during the proceedings, was then removed to the Bride-
w ell.—Leinster Express.

HoLLAND.—:Holland, the land of cheese and

butter, is to my eye no unpicturesque, uninteresting
country. Flat it is ; but it is so geometrically only, and
in so other sense. Spires, church towers, bright farm-
houses, their windows glancing in the sun, long rows
of willow trees, their blueish foilage ruffling up white
in the breeze ; grassy embankments of a tender vivid
green, partly hiding the meadows behind, and crowded
with glittering gaudily painted gigs and stool-waggons,
loaded with rosy-cheeketd, laughing country girls, decked
out in ribands of many more colours than the rainbow, all
streaming in the wind; these are objects which strike the
eye of the traveller from seaward, and form a gay front
view of Holland, as he sails or steams along its coast and
up its rivers. On shore, the long continuity of horizontal
lines of country in the background, eachlineatr.nigsi:gNboetehsinofd
the other to a distant, level, unbroken horizon, gives the
impressions of vastness and of sovelty._L
a Traveller.
SUDDEN DEATH.—Mr; Payne held an inquest
on Monday, at the Coach and Horses, Bartholomew-
close, on the body of James Stafford, aged 45. It ap-
peared from the evidence of Elizabeth Coole, of 68,
Bartholomew-close, that the deceased had been employed
by her to attend to the horses in her stables-for the last
two months. She did not actually require his services,
but kept him out of charity, as he was destitute, and as
his strength was impaired by disease he could not obtain
employment elsewhere. On Friday night last he went
to rest in the loft as usual, and it was remarked that he
appeared to be intoxicated. The following morning a

Notwithstanding the recent convictions of Ed-
wards, Squire Woodfine, and Westcoate, for horse-
stealing, in the parish of Romford, and at the two last
Sessions at Chelmsford, of Rolfe and Cousins, for high-
way robbery in the same parish, upon which they have
all been transported, orime still continues on the
iucreaso in the Liberty of Havering-atte-Bower. A
few nights since the hen-house of Mr. Pratt Collier,
miller, Romford, was broken into, and 10 fowls were
stolen therefrom. On Thursday evening last, during the
temporary absence of the servant, the premises of
Richard Newman, Esq., of Hornchurch, were entered,
and two valuable guns and other articles stolen. And
on Friday night last a sheep belonging to Mr. Henry
Gibbons, of Romford, farmer, was stoles from a field
situate uesr the house.,.Zseex Herald.

THE NEW TALES OF A CLOCK.
A church-rate having been refused at Brighton,
the clock (St. Peter's) struck for wages, that is to
say, it did not strike, for without a rate it would
not go at any rate. The clock would not stand
the conduct of the parish, so it stood—stood its
ground, to borrow Lover's beautiful like
a bull in the pound."
This recusancy of the clock appears to have
produced a lively impression on the minds of the
idle and ragged boys of Brighton, and to have
stirred up speculations about cause and effect,
which brought them to the conclusion that the
clock had stopped, not for want of a rate, but
for want of being wound up, which, taking clocks
as clocks are generally, is certainly a sufficient
reason. But once set idle boys thinking, and
where is it to stop ? They say that they had
but one link in the chain of causation—the clock
had stopped because it was not wound up to
go, but who had caused the winding of it up to
be discontinued ? The question of authority once
raised, all presumptions led directly to the
Vicar. The very hands of the clock pointed at
him—at one it had stopped, and at the man for
number one it levelled its reproachful index. The
silence of the clock denounced him, and every hour
when the clock did not strike the folks of Brighton,
and especially that most speculative part of the
population, the idle dirty boys, thought of the re-
fused rate, the Vicar, and the not winding up.
It came to pass, then, that as the good man,
Mr. Wagner, went to and fro in the town, the cry
arose and followed him—"
Who stopped the
clock ?" A little boy seven years of age shot out
his tongue at the Reverend Vicar with that pert
inquiry. The good man, upon this provocation,
felt in a very different case from the clock; he felt
wound up, and wound up to
strike for self and
clock. Whip in hand, he

DREADFUL MURDER.--We are again called
upon to record another horrible murder, perpetrated in
our city on Saturday last —that of a woman being mur-
dered by her husband; the facts are these:—A man
named T. Toppen, an Irishman by birth, being at home at
his lodgings, No. 89, Orange-street, on Saturday morning,
on his wife Elizabeth attempting to pass from the room
it) the pump to get a pail of water, she was forbidden
to go out by her husband, who peremptorily refused
to let her go for it. The woman having occasion for
some water for domestic purposes, urged him to let
her go, which led to some angry words, when the
inhuman wretch seized a chair, and literally broke
it to pieces over her head and body. Not content
with this brutal attack, he took up a broom and beat
her with it until the handle was split into several
pieces, all of which he then gathered up, and with
the splinters stabbed her in several parts of her
breast and body. The wretched woman for a mo-
ment then escaped from his grasp and from the injuries
received, and threw herself on the bed ; but the inhuman
monster, whose fiendish passion was not yet satiated,
drew her from it, and inflicted several blows on her head
and other parts of her body with a shoemaker's ham-
mer, and not yet content, got a knife and fork and in-
flicted other stabs on her person. The woman then
at length again got away from him and threw herself
on the bed, when the wretch laid down on the floor to
await the arrival of his little son, a boy about twelve
years of age, whose throat, he said, he intended to
cut so soon as he came in. During the whole of
this horrible tragedy a woman named Kelly was lying
in a very low state in the room, and was an eye-wiliness
of the brutal conduct,—and about six o'clock, finding
that the wretched woman had ceased to breathe,
gave the alarm, and Justice Matsell, aided by two
watchmen, took the monster into custody, and he was
fully committed to prison. The Coroner yesterday held
an inquest on the body, and the Jury rendered a verdict
that the unfortunate woman, Elizabeth Toppen, came to
her death from injuries received by blows, inflicted
on her person by her husband, Thomas Toppen.—New
York Courier.
Mr. Christopher Moore has just had the honour
of placing his marble bust of the Countess of Charlemont,
in the corridor of Windsor Castle, by command of the
Queen. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince
Albert were most graciously pleased to express their
unqualified approbation of the performance.
SCHOOL TOR THE INDIGENT BLIND.--A
special general Court of the Corporation of the above
institution was held on Monday at the London Tavern,
T. W. Meller, Esq., was in the chair. From the last
Report of the Committee it appeared that the asylum
was established in the year 1799, for the purpose of in-
structing the indigent blind in a trade by which they
might be enabled to provide for their future subsistence.
Religious instruction was given by means of books in
raised or embossed letters, and the whole of the New
Testament had been printed in that manner for their use.
During a period of forty years 278 persons had been re-
turned to their families able to earn, according to their
several abilities, from 6s. to 11. Bs. per week. The num-
ber of pupils had increased to 70 males and 72 females.
A manufactory had been established, where the articles
made last year entirely by the hands of the blind persons
were sold for 1,7431. 1 Is. Bd. The Society's receipts in
subscriptions, money received for the goods sold, &c.,
were 8,3881. 18s. 5d., and the balance at the banker's
from the last year made a sum of 10,3051. Os. 6d. The
disbursements left a balance of 2,2411. 12s. 2d. in favour
of the Society. The election of eight males and five
females as pupils in the asylum was then proceeded with,
and terminated at three o clock in the afternoon. Thanks
were then given to the Chairman, and the meeting
separated.

LONDON ORPHAN ASYLUM.—OII Monday the
annual general meeting of the members of this institu-
tion was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-
street; Mr. Alderman Thompson in the chair. Dr. Reid,
one of the Honorary Secretaries, read the Report: it
stated the number of orphans in the asylum at Ciapton
to have been, at the period of the last anniversary, 350;
60 had been since admitted by election, and 53 had left,
making the present number 357, which would be in-
creased by the election that day to 382. The total
number of orphans relieved since the establishment of
the institution, was 1,304. The legacies during the past
year had been unusually large and numerous, amounting
in all to about 700/. The income amounted to
9,9561. 17s. 6d., which was exceeded by the expenditure
in the sum of 4491. 14s. sd. The children under the
protection of the Society were in good health, and very
favourable accounts had been received from those who
had obtained situations. The Report having been adopted,
and the officers elected, the election of 25 orphans as in-
mates of the asylum, from a list of 143 candidates, com-
menced. The meeting separated at three o'clock.
WESTMINSTER PENITENT FEMALE ASY-
LUM.— On Monday the fourth annual meeting of the
above Society was held at the office, No. 32, Sackviile-
street, Sir W. Farquhar in the chair, at whose request
the Secretary read the last yearly Report. By it the
friends of the Society were informed that the pecuniary
embarrassments and other difficulties mentioned at the
last meeting had been got over in a great measure, and
the consequence was that the number of repentant in-
mates had augmented, of whom there were now twenty-
two in the Asylum. From eightlto ten had been tho-
roughly reclaimed, and had returned to their homes, or
had gone to situations provided for them. The general
conduct of all the inmates was good, and by their indus-
try during the past year they had added 761. to the funds
of the institution. The receipts last year were 664 L 195.,
and the expenditure 6461. 14s. Donations of 101. each
had been received from the Dukes of Buccleuch and
Northumberland and Lady Egerton, and several sums of
5/. from private individuals. The Report, which gave
great satisfaction, was unanimously adopted, and the
usual tribute of thanks having been voted to the Chair-
man, the .meeting separated.
SOUTHAMPTON DOCK COMPANY.-011 Mon-
day a special general meeting of the Shareholders of this
Company was held at the offices in Bishopsgate- street-
withur, for considering the propriety of applying to Par-
liament
for power to raise an additional 100,0001. for
completing the docks, for converting the present share
list of 250,000/. into the same amount of stock, as also
the 100,0001., and to extinguish 2,000 shares, on which
the calls could not be obtained. The Chair was taken
by J. Liggins, Esq., who entered very fully into the
nature of the undertaking, and the advantages it would
hold out to the Proprietors when completed. Mr. Hill
said 100,0001. would not be sufficient, and objected to the
manner in which the concern had been managed, and
was followed by Mr. Richards, who entered very fully
into the items of the estimate, and concluded by pressing
for an adjournment of a fortnight to consider the sub-
ject. Mr. Giles, the engineer, then went into particulars
respecting the state of 'the docks, one of whieh it was
expected would be opened-by Midsummer. After a long
discussion between the Proprietors and the Directors,
the resolution, embodying the objects of the meeting,
was carried by a large majority. It appeared from the
statement of Mr. Saintsbury, the Secretary, that at the
present moment 480 shares were paid upon for the last
call, and that out of the 5,000 original shares of 501.,
nearly 3,550 were paid upon by 161- Proprietors. The
Chairman said that in the present state of things, the
forfeited shares could not be sold, and had there been a
grant for public works last year, when application was
made to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he had no
doubt 50,000/. would have been granted. A conver-
sation took place on various topics, after which a vote
of thanks was moved to the Chairman and Directors, by
Mr. Forster, and seconded by Mr. Dasent, which having
been carried unanimously, the meeting adjourned.
WOOLWICH, JAN.24.—The Firebrand steamer,
Corn. Nott, returned to her moorings at Woolwich, and
to• day was taken alongside the basin to have her figure
head made perfect, and attached to the vessel. The in-
jury to the figure-head was all that the Firebrand sus-
tained when she came in contact with another steam ves-
sel on her voyage to Ostend, on Wednesday morning
last, and will easily be remedied.
TRIAL FOR FIGHTING A PITIHED BATTLE.
—Friday Anthony M`Ginty and Henry M'Culley, two
noted pugilists from Glasgow, were tried before Sheriff
Campbell, for a breach of the peace, in fighting a pitched
battle at Logan's well, in county of Renfrew, last month.
They pleaded guilty, and were sentenced both to forty
days' confinement and labour in Paisley prison, and to
' find caution to keen the peace for a limited period under
the pain of farther imprisonment. The Sheriff remarked,
that this was a case that could not be visited with fine, as
the probability was, that the equally guilty instigators
of the fight might pay the fille, ar:d enable the prisoners
to escape without any punishment at all. But
pressed his determination to suppress, in this county,. a
practice that is deprecated from one end of the lancet°
the other, and therefore pronounced a sentence of impri-
sonment and labour, in the hope that it would have the
desired effect. lie cautioned the prisoners, at the same
time, against any repetition of the offence, as this would
be visited with still greater severity. M'Culley, on leav-
ing the Court, said that it was the last time he should be
engaged in an affair of the kind. Several cases of theft
and assault were thereafter disposed of.—Paisley Ad

FISHMONGERS' AND POULTERERS' BENE-
VOLENT SOCIETY.—This admirable and most praise-
worthy Society gave their annual ball, in aid of the
funds of the Institution, at Willis's Rooms, St. James s, on
Monday night. The company was numerous and highly
creditable to these respective and respectable trades,
in manner, deportment, and appearance. Dancing was
kept up with great spirit, to the strains of Adams's band,
until a late hour this morning. The nature and object
of this Society cannot be too generally known or too
highly commended. It is established to provide an asy-
lum and relief for aged and infir►n members of the two
trades that constitute it—to give occasional, and if pos-
sible permanent, relief to the aged and infirm who have
been in the employment of its members—to protect and
succour their distressed widows—and to succour, support,
and provide for their necessitous orphans. It is a praise-
worthy Institution, conceived in a good spirit, and con-
ducted in an irreproachable manner ; and it is, as much
on the score of its general scope, as well as its particular
utility, entitled to the support of every well-wisher of
mankind. We aro happy to add, moreover, that it is
prosperous and prospering, and that another year wil
enable the society to establish almshouses.
The gentlemen who served on Special Juries
last Assizes for Northumberland, generally agreed to
give their fees, amounting to about thirty guineas, to-
wards relieving persons confined for small debts in Mor-
peth gaol. Five persons were accordingly discharged by
this act of humanity.

GRAVESEND.—.The Secretary of State has
recommended the Lord Chancellor to appoint the follow
ing gentlemen to be Magistrates for the town and
borough of Gravesend and Milton, viz., Mr. R. P. Cruden,
Mr. J. smith, Mr. E, Tielmor, Emit Mx. M. Troughton.
