OLD BAILEY.,FERRUARY 21.

610,0111111•....
William Made, a piano-forte and tabiset-maker,
about forty years of age (who used a trumpet in conse-
quence of deafness), stood indicted under Lerd Ellen-
borough's Act, for feloniously assaulting John White,
and cutting him with an axe, with intent to murder, or
do him some grievous bodily harm.
John White said, he is a distraining broker, residing
in Eimouth-street, Hampstead-road. The prisoner re-
sided in Phenix-street, Somers'-town, and was indebted',
to his landlord, named Mason, 21. 10s. for rent. On
the 2d of February, Mr. Mason employed witness to
distrain upon the prisoner's goods. He knocked at the
door, and the prisoner let him ht ; be told the prisoner
he was come for the rent due to his landlord, and
shewed him his warrant. He told the prisoner he would
wait if he could get the money, and walked into the
back room, and put his hand on the prisoner's working-
bench. The prisoner seized him by the collar and
tripped up his heels, then took up anaxe and chopped
at his legs, and cut them in two or three places. He
told the prisoner to let him leave the house; he replied,
that he would be cursed if he ever left the house alive.
The prisoner then made a blow at his head, and he
caught it on his arm, and received several cuts on his
side, which penetrated his coat and waistcoat. Two
persons came to his assistance, and with difficulty
wrenched the axe from the prisoner's grasp. His leg
was cut to the bone, and small pieces of bone worked
out with the blood through the stocking—(the axe was
produced). Witnesses were called in corroboration of
the above statement.
The prisoner, whose countenance had a peculiar va-
cant expression, denied the truth of the above evidence,
and being called upon for his defence, said, 4, My Lord
Judge, by the 24th clause of Magna Charta, a man's
working tools are protected ftom seizure, and I did all
in my power to protect them, to save my child and
myself ft om starvation."
Mr. Justice BORZOTON—H there are no other good; your work-
ing tools are not privileged. Prisoner—l thought they were.
Mr. Justice Beasoume—You will state any facts you think
material to year defence.
Prisoner—" Well, my Lord, I can say, that some excuse ought
to be made for me. I have received the HOLT Gnon, and I wrote
to the Reverend G. larder, and also to the Reverend Mr. Hyatt,
informing them that I wished to go forth and preach the Gospel ;
but they told me, that as I had been brought up to the pasta*
cake, and was not a cemtnunkant in their Churches, I could not
be apPeineed."
Mr. Justice arszencut--When and how did you receive the
Holy Ghost?
' Prisoner—l was at Mr. Talbot's, Bethnal-green, and a great
light of fire came down from Heaven and burnt my throat, and
after that, it coutrouled me so much as to make me walk Signet
my will. They put me into a mad-house ; afterwards thought I
was the Saviour.
A person named Skinner came forward, and said ke bad known
the prisoner for some years, and believed him to be insane, be was
called the Bogie in his neighbourhood.
Mr. Justice Bessooos named up the case, expressing an opi-
nion that the prisoner was not in his right mind.
The Jury acquitted the prisoner en the ground of inanity, and
he will be imprisoned during his Majesty's pleasure.
The prisoner, on leaving the bar, said, 0 The Jury are fools."

Nzwroar.—Friday, the election of a Member to
serve in the present Parliament, as the representative of
this ancient Borough, took place, when the Hon. Mr.!
STUART (second son of the Earl of MORAY, of Cam.
bras Wallace, in the county of Perth, was duly elected,.
in the room of the late Sir L. T. W. Hocarsa, Bart.
The immensity of the navigation of the Unite
States of America May be judged of from the fact, that
the American Tonnage alone employed in the Foreign'
Trade of the United States, for the year ending 1823,
was 1,490,222 tons. The Foreign Tonnage was 118,681
tons—both 1,609,023 tons.
The Duties of Customs at Grangemouth, Scotland,'
for the year ending sth January lett, were upwards of
12,0001: above the Revenue of the preceding year, and.
nearly double of each of the years ending the sth of
January, 1822 and 1828.
Last week meetings were held at North and South
Shields, to receive the report of Captain Brown, R.N.
as to the practicability and probable cost of a suspension
chain bridge across the Tyne at those places, when the
Captain clearly demonstrated that the measure was
[ practicable and stated the probable cost to be about
80,0001.* There is now eery probability that the plan
II will be carried into execution, as it is understood that
one Gentleman in North Shields has offered to subscribe'
120,0001. towards it, and another has offered 6,0001. per
annum for the tolls for four years.
In consequence of the expected success of the meat
sores proposed in France for the reduction of the in-
lamest of the debt, we understand that a similar
ceeding is contemplated on the part of the Danish
Government. Proposals are in circulation here to'con-,
tract for a new Loan at 75, in a Stock bearing interest
at three per cent. the produce of which is to be applied'
to the taking out of the market the existing five per.
cent. Danish bonds, the holders of which will have the
option of transferring their investment to the three phr
cent. stock, or of being paid off at par. The amount of
new stock requisite for the purpose will be between
three and four millions ; and it is believed that some
capitalists of the first class entertain views wholly fa-
vourable to the propositions of the Danish Government.
If this measure is completed, it is expected that the re-
duction of their public debt, in a similar manner, will
be attempted by Russia, Prussia, and Austria. Whe-
ther successful or not, the very attempt at this moment
is important, as an indication that no fears exist of any
interruption to the general tranquillity of Europe.
SINGULAR Az*asr.—Sundly night, about a leaner
past nine, the passengers through St. Clement's Church-
yard were attracted by the cries of 44 Help I help I"
from the house, 201, kept by Mrs. Goold, a corset•
maker ; and on looking up, they observed Mrs. Goold
soda child standing on the balcony. The cii cumstances
which produced her alarm were as follow :—Her
daughter and son in-law had dined out, and also the
servants were out, so that there was no persons in the
house excepting herself and the child. While sitting in
the drawing-room they distinctly heard the door locked
on them, and, in her unprotected state, she flew to the
window to beg assistance ; in fact, so great was her
terror, that it was with difficulty she was dissuaded
from throwing the child down to the persons who were
collected about the honse, and jumping down herself.
The watchmen burst open the street-door, and searched
the whole house, but no person was discovered ; how-
ever the door was certainly locked on the outside, and
the key lying on the floor. From the facility of access
in the rear of the house, it is suspected that a robbery.
was contemplated, but that Mrs. Goold's prompt alarm
defeated the intention. Mrs. Goold was so overcome
that she fainted, and was for some time insensible.
The debts already proved against Messrs. PRODGERIe
Bank, at Ludlow, amount, it is said, to 200,0001. and
the funds to meet them only to 20,0001.—Shrewsbury'
Chronicle.
