PHE NEW MONTHLY.MAGAZINE, an,' LI
TERARY PAgORAMA, illuetratcd with Fottraits and
Memoirs of William Wordsworth, Esq. the Rev.. C. R. hta-
turin, S. T. Coleridge, Dn. Lady Caroline Limb, Sir John
Fleming Leicester, and Madame de Genii,.

This Magazine having acquired a very high literary cluiracter,
men of the first eminence being strenuously eegaged, in enriching
its pages with their communications, it may be sueicinut to state,
for the intbrmation of these unacquainted with its general con.
tents, that independent of its being a faithful chruaicle of the
great political events of the times, and an accurate record of do.
mestic and family history, it forms a complete register of evuy
novelty in the arts, sciences, and letters, equally acceptable to
the scholar and the phileiopher, to the man of ichure, and the
man of business.. Established on the principles of sound pa.
triotism, it peculiarly recommends kiwi; to all real lovers of their
country, as a popular vehicle for the dissemination of political
truth, and as the hest antidote to a Magazine distinguished for
sentiments tending to encourage disaffection and infidelity, and
consequently subversive of all oar existing political, religious,
and social insututions. _ . _

Formed on such a Plan, it must be obvious, that the New
MONTHLY M•OATINI eatutot fail to prove a most acceptable pre-
sent to friends and relatives abroad, and LI order to ensure the
punctual and early delivery of this Magazine, in any part of the
civilized world, nothing more is n:e.-ssary than to give orders
and make payment to any local Po•.:master; or to the Gentle-
men at the General Post Order in London.—Orders are also re-
ceived by every Book,eller, Stationer, and Newsmen in Town
and Country.

Yesterday Hew! teat underwent a fuial examine-
.
non at Guildhall. Mrs. Stent arrived at the Ottce
about half-past eleven, in a coach, accompan;ed by
her father, mother, and several friends. A little after
twelve Stent arrived,' and upon his being placed at
the Bar, the following additional evidence was
adduced :
H. Benwell stated, that lie was Muse Surgeon to
St. Bartholomew's Hospital ; and, on Thursday evr
the Zth August, between six and seven o'clock,
Niaria Stent was hrou2,Lt to the Hospital. I saw her
immediately ; she was very faint and cold, but she
was perfectly sensibie ; I proceeded to examine her,
and band several wounds upon her person There
were three upon her neck, one upon her right arm,
ciw on the right side, and one. upon the thumb of the
left hand. One of the wounds in the neck had nearly
penetrated U.e wind-pipe, and tile one on the right
side had penetrated the right Lung, and from -that
wound she had lost a great quantity of blood. The
wound upon the neck was not large but deep : the
others were but slight, and had 'merely penetrated
the integuments.
The Magistrate asked whether, from the nature of
the wounds, he (the witness) apprehended consider-
able danger?—The witness replied, that there was
very imminent danger. The patient continued to
recover until the following Monday, when she. was
attacked with an inflammation of the lungs, of which
however she bad recovered, and she has continued
mending evpf since.
The Magistrate asked the witness whether, from
the nature of the wounds, he could ascertain what
instrument had been used ?—The witness replied, that
the wounds appeared to have been inflicted by a very
sharp instrument. The patient-wns now out of dan-
ger, but the wounds were not perfectly closed.
Mrs. Stent was now led by her father and mother
from the private room of the Magistrate, and brought
into the °Ace, Where a chair was provided fur her,
upon which she sat during the examination, in which
she conducted herself with much propriety. Lon
her entrance not the least change of conntenanee was
perceptible in the prisoner, who stood with the same
calmness and tranquillity throughout. After she was,
sworn, she answered in a feeble voice the questions
of the Magistrate, and stated that she arlived in
England about the beginning of this month, and
proceeded from Liverpool to London, where she put
up at the Saracen's lieKd, and the same morning
sent a letter to her husband, who, in consequence,
came at about half-past six o'clock in the evening.--
She was here requested by the Magistrate to state
what took place -after his arrival. She said, a In
consequence of the great agitation of my mihd at the
time, I have no recollection of any thing which took
place after his arrival, until I found myself lying un-
dressed in the Hospital.'
Magistrate.—When you came to your recollection
in what state did you find yourself?—Wounded. She
then described the wounds.

Magistrate.—And you still mean to state, that you
have no recolleCtion of any thing that passed after
your l,usband entered the room f—None.
The Magistrate. then said, that he did not think
there was any necessity to put further questions to
Mrs. Scent, as there was already sufficient evidence
from the other witnesses.
Mr. J. Beecher' of No. 58, Stretton-ground, West-
Minster-road, the father of Mrs. Stent, was then call-
ed ; and the Magistrate asked him whether he, as the
nearest relation of his daughter, would be bound over
to prosecute the prisoner.
Mr. Beecher replied, if it was necessary ; he was
very sorry for it ; it was a most unfortunate business,
and he had no wish to pursue the husband.
Mrs. Scent, bursting into tears, laid her hand on
her father's arm, and said, in a most beseeching tone,
" Don't you, father."
Mr. Winston, to whom the father seemed to look
for advice; said, " You have your option." On which
Mrs. Scent said, still more earnestly, " Then don't
yon, father.". Oa which Mr. Beecher declined to be

Mr. Alderman Sum, said he could not refuse
such a reluest only on accotmt of the agitatitio it
would occasion to both of them. Mrs. Stent again
begged for GOD'S sake to let her speak to hind for a
minute. The Magi.trate said i! was painful to dgny
I her, but he thought it world be too much 'for the
feelings of both ot them; but she should have per-
mission'to visit him at the Compeer, with whieb she
.appear:ed more content, and shortly afterwards re-
turned in a coach to the Hospital.
The Alderman, addressing the prisoner, told hint
it was the opinion of his Solicitor that he should not
say any thing in his defence at present.' The Blagi-
critte had every regard to his feelings in the painful
situation• he was placed in, but he must be committed
to prison for' trial. His wish, howevis, to rernhin
in the Compeer, not:1 the Sesiions comretenced, should
be complied with, The prisoner. then .bowed retpect-
fully, and was removed from the I•ar.
During the whole of this .painful examination, the
2r:soner maintained his usual composure, which was
nit in the least Altered on the appearance of his.wifc.
The only period at syll!cli Le sheaved any agitation
was during the reading of that part of Pithonse's evi-
dence, where bg describes the affecting conduct of
Mrs. Scent while being cart ied to the bospital. He
expre.,.es no further resentment against ins wife, but
desire; neve' to speak to her or see her again, and
wished the officer to fee. him stand down while she
was i r_sent, that he might not be forced to see her.
He was very respectably dressed, in an dive brown
coat, clean white Waistcoat, gray trowsers, and looked
in remarkably good health.

Ihrton-HALL..--Abtut 7 o'clock on Monday even.
ing, a man went into the watch-house, near tote toll•
gate, at the Surrey Theatre, and inquired for' the
night constable, to whom be said he had something
very important to communicate. Mr. Ascovr, the
I watch-house-keeper, was the only person there, and
he informed him that the constable had not yet
ar-
rived, but was every moment expected; on which the
stranger (apparently somewhat disappointed) again
pressed the importance of his communication, which
induced Ascorr to question him. At first be seemed
much affected, but hiltoured vainly to conceal his
emotion; and, after a few minutes pause, he suddenly
exclaimed. ~ I am a murderer! I have committed a
great crime, arid deserve to suffer!" and then he sunk
motionless into a chair., Moore endeavoured to
compose him, and *hen he had revived a little de-
sired him to state explicitly the business that laid
brought him thitl4T ; when the stranger said, 'his
name was Wood,- that he was a native of Leicester-
shire, mid had in his youth formed a very, strong at.
tachment towards a young m omen of his own age,
named —; but, for many reaions, they broke the
courtship, and he was soca .-I:er married to another
woman. He did not see the first object of his affec-
tion during the time of his Marriage, rair till after
the death of his wife, which happened two years ago,
and then he was induced to inquire after her, and
found sbe was still living, and single. His love re-
turned with increased force, he visited her, a recon-
ciliation was easily erected; and he intended lo'marry
her when a decent time had elapsed. This intention
he communicated to herfriends, ;rho• had no objec-
tion to the match, and, with the consent of all parties,
a day waS fixed for the celebration of their nuptials,
when a circumstance, unexpected and dreadful, at
once ended the negotiations, rendering him an object
of horror and reproach to himself, and of execration
to society. A soldier who was quartered in the town
had, it seemed, succeeded in gaining the affections of
the bride elect; he took her to public places, and
walked with her, and seemed professedlTher admirer.
Those attentions of the soldier had roused his jealousy,
and inspired him with an utter contempt of the faith-
less woman, whom, in the first ebullitions of his pas-
sion, he deter finned to sacrifice. With this dreadful
intention, he repaired to the shop of a shoemaker and
borrowed a larL:.! working-knife, which he sharpened
kern a very ke. edge, and then placed himself in 'am-
bush near the residence of his deqined victim, whom
he soon saw, and; after upbraiding ber.with her in-
gratitude, plunged the knife into her body, just un-
der the left breast, and gave her several other Wounds
in the neck and items, till slle was quite de:tdf and
then he threw the body into the river, near the stone
quarry. After the perpetration of the deed, her fled
to Hodmisaer, but could obtain no rest : his imagi-
nation perpetually brought the murder before his
eyes, and even in sle.sp the bleeding figure of his vic-
tim stood before him. In short, having Wandered
about a year through different pa: ts -Of the' country,
during whkh he experienced tortures the mostlagor,
nizing, he arrived in town for the purpose of giving
himself up to the Ministers of Justice.—The uufur-
tunate man was put in close custody by Aicoir,
who took care that he should not have any-rneans by
which he could make any attempt on his life, and
on Tuesday rnorninz he was brought to Union Hall
Office, and examined before the presiding magistrate,
Laurel:tor BAUGH ALLEN, Esq. He appeared per-
fectly firm and resigned, and his confession was taken
down is writing. Mr. ALLEN asked him if ever the
body of the young woman' was found? to which be
replied, that he had heard it was, but was afraid to
make inquiries, as it might betray him. He was then
committed toahe custody of the keeper of the House
of Correction, Horsemonger-lane, till a messenger
can be sent to Leicester to make inquiries. The
soner is about thirty rears old, and the deceased was
at the time of kr death twenty-tight.
