The deceased Brigadier-General Cureton was a native
of Hordley, near Ellesmere, Shropshire, His first public

THE TOOTING INQUIRY,—An application was made on
Thursday to the judges presiding at the Central Criminal
Court, for a postponement of Mr. Drouet's trial until the
next sessions, the prosecutors not having had sufficient
time to prepare their case, The application was granted.
A gamekeeper of the Earl of Ripon, named Harrison, who
watched the preserves near Ripon, was found, on Thurs-
day week, lying dead in a plantation, with a dreadful
wound in his breast. A poacher, named Matthews, has
been committed for the murder.

On Saturday week, a fine boy, nearly four years old,
lost himself on the moors near Bradford, and was not
found till Wednesday, when, on the snow disappearing,
the poor little fellow was found prostrate on the heath, of
course a lifeless corpse.
UPPINGRAM.—A rumour of a most painful nature is
afloat in this town, implicating the character of a Rutland
gentleman, who enjoys a high position in society. Dis-
closures of a grave nature, affecting the integrity of his
conduct as a director of a savings'-bank, are likely to be
made in a few days.—Lincoln Herald.
On Wednesday last, a furious ox forted its way up the
stairs of a house in Glasgow, until at last it became so
jammed that it could neither ascend nor descend, and was
ultimately shot by some butchers, who had vainly at-
tempted to extricate it alive, as the animal fiercely endea-
voured to kick or gore every one who approached.

A POACHER'S RUSE.—Some years since a man who
lived near Wedmore was suspected of poaching, and re-
ceived a summons to appear before the magistrates.
Puzzled what to do, his wife took out the baby from the
cradle, and rocked him in it : he then went before the
magistrates, and swore he had not touched a gun or wire
since he was rocked in the cradle, and got clear off.
CALIFORNIA.—We have been furnished with a copy of
" The Californian," a newspaper published at San Fran-
cisco. It contains no material particulars respecting the
gold-finding in addition to those which have appeared in
our paper, but it fully confirms the most sanguine accounts
which have been received on the subject of the quantity
and quality of the gold in that country.—Bath Paper.
THE STANFIELD HALL MERDERS.---MTS. Jermy is re-
ported to be still in very bad health, and her servant,
Eliza Chestny, to be also in a precarious condition. These
facts, together with the pregnancy of Emily Sandford
(alias the Widow James) renders it probable that some of
these witnesses may not be able to appear in court during
the trial of Rush at the approaching assizes,
At a wedding last week, at Nigg, in Ross-shire, John
Monro, the bridegroom, who happened to go out at the
door of the house where the bridal was being celebrated,
was seized by three stout men, and carried four or five
miles over fields and ditches. When he was missed all
was dismay in the gay party, and the poor bridegroom did
not reach home till six o'clock in the morning, wet and
weary.

DREADFUL ATTEMPT AT SELF DESTRUCTION.—On
the 19th inst., the lady of Sir John Pole, of Shute-house,
precipitated herself frci'm her bedroom window, on the
third floor, and sustained contusions of such a character
that will render her a cripple for life. Various rumours
are i❑ circulation as to the cause which could prompt a
lady in her elevated station, to contemplate such an act.—
Devonshire Chronicle.

The original floor of the ancient refectory at Durham
has been discovered. About a foot and a half below the
joists was a uniform surface of rubbish, on removing a
portion of which, to the depth of about three feet, the
workmen struck upon the floor of the ancient refectory.
It is composed of plain red encaustic tiles, about ten
inches square, and of much rougher composition than is
now deemed requisite.
An awkward blunder has been discovered in tbe "Removal
of Nuisances act," which will in some degree retard sana-
tory progress till an amendment be obtained. By the
English act nuisances on all highways are illegal ; but
from a decision by the sheriff substituie of Perth, it ap-
pears that in Scotland they are illegal only if on roads
supported by rates ; on turnpikes they may offend sight
and smell with impunity.
Louis PHILIPPE.—A paragraph, apparently authorised
by the royal party alluded to, appears in the Times, con-
tradicting a statement that has appeared in one of the
Paris journals of the past week, to the effect that a com-
munication had taken place between the ex-King Louis
Phillippe and the President of the French Republic with
respect to the conditional return of the ex-Royal Family
to France.

A COOL ASSERTION.—The bail!' News, which last
week abandoned the threepenny-halfpenny price, as utterly
ruinous, remarks that the whole of the morning papers,
with the exception of the Advertiser and itself, are
" crushing and annihilating every liberal sentiment."
This is rather a bold assertion, seeing that every really
liberal measure of late years has been carried under the
auspices of a conservative ministry and a conservative
press.
A WOMAN'S AFFECTION.—.A.bout the end of Decem-
ber last Edward Howe, publican, of Cowbridge, was, on
the information of a suspected poacher, who received a
reward of £5, committed to Cardiff gaol for three months
for receiving game, improperly obtained, in exchange for
beer. His wife was immediately taken ill of brain fever,
induced by her husband's committal, when several ma-
gistrates used every effort to obtain his release, but with-
out effect. Mrs. Howe, the poor wife, lingered on, and
on Friday week expired, leaving six children in a desti-
titute condition, and the bereaved husband still in gaol.
DEATH FROM SWALLOWING A SWORD.—On the 24th
instant, Thomas Rams Samee, the celebrated Indian
juggler of that name, was attempting to perform the trick
of swallowing the sword, which he executed in the usual
way until it arrived about six inches in his tesophagus,
when he felt an obstruction, and forcibly, though inno-
cently, pushed it four inches further, instead of with-
drawing it, as is usual when difficulties occur. He fell
back, and had injured himself so far that inflammation
set in, and he died the Friday following. His father first
introduced the feat, having commenced with a piece of
cane a few inches long, and gradually increasinc, it until
he could swallow a blunt instrument twelve inches long.
THE ATTEMPTED POISONING AT BRISTOL.-011 Sa-
turday, Henry Evans underwent a final examination at
Bristol charged with administering poison to his wife. An
assistant in a druggist's shop at Bristol deposed that on
the previous Saturday morning, the prisoner came to his
employer's shop and asked for a pennyworth of white
" cippity" powder. He said "it was for the children's
heads." Witness went to the dispensary and weighed
him out one scruple. He put a printed label upon it, on
which was inscribed " poison." Herapath, the analytic
chemist, was examined, and deposed to facts strongly pre-
sumptive of the prisoner's guilt, and he was fully com-
mitted on the capital charge. _

SECRET POISONING.—X horrible case of secret poison-
ing has been brought to light at Yarm. The murderer is
a railway labourer, named George Howe, whose wife on
the 11th of November last died rather suddenly after her
accouchement. She left behind her the infant she had
given birth to, and a boy about four years of age. Three
days after her death Howe went to live with a person
named Bray, whose housekeeper was a widow named
Wood. During his residence there, it was ascertained
that he was paying his addresses to a woman who had
about £3OO in the bank. He had frequently expressed a
wish that the infant would die, as he could then marry
the woman who had the money. He has since been
committed for the murder of the infant, by administer-
ing to it oxalic acid.
CANINE SAGACITY.—A striking case of canine sagacity
occurred recently on Widemouth Down, near Bude. A
sheep had been lost by Mr. Pethick for some time, and
its recovery had been given up as hopeless. Last week,
however, as Mr. Pethick, accompanied by his dog, Shep-
herd, was going his usual daily round, the animal went
over the cliffs, but quickly returned to his master, wagging
his tail and howling to attract attention. His master at
first took no notice, but the dog's gesticulations being re-
peated, he was at last induced to follow the animal to the
place which it indicated, in the side of the cliff, and dan-
gerous to approach, being only reached b' ropes. The
sheep was there fowld between two parallel pieces of the
cliff, a considerable distance below the edge, where a small
stream passed through. The sheep was immediately ex-
tricated from its stone-bound prison, in which it had been
confined a month and three days, subsisting on the water
alone. It was muck reduced, but is still living and doing
well.—Exeter Gazette.
COURT MARTIAL—SINGULAR CASE.—At Devonport,
on Wednesday and Thursday. a court-martial was held on
board the Caledonia, 120 guns, upon Commander George
Sprigg, late of the Ferret, 8, for having upon the 18th of
June, 1848, put eleven men of the Brazilian schooner
Castro the Third into a boat, and directed them to steer
to the western coast of Africa, many miles off, without
being properly provided with food, &c. This vessel,
which was a slave-ship, had been captured by the Ferret.
The evidence went to show that the crew of the Castro.
when captured, were equal in number to those of the
Ferret, and consequently that it would have been dan-
gerous to keep so many as prisoners ; that the boats'
crew had not far to steer; that they were supplied with
Bologna sausages and other food and water ; that the sea
was calm, and that they landed safely. The decision of
the court-martial, however, after a very elaborate defence
from the accused, was, that Commander Sprigg be repri-
manded and admonished, a result which occasioned great
surprise.

On Thursday, the queen's speech was transmitted from
the central station at Lothbury to Liverpool, Manchester,
York, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Derby, and
other places, and was posted at the various subscription
rooms and exchanges in considerably less than one hour
after its delivery in the House of Lords. The speech
would be in Dublin, Guernsey, Jersey, and Paris the
same evening.
MR. BALFE'S CONCERT.—JENNY LIND.—On Monday
night, the large room in Exeter-hall was crammed to
suffocation on the occasion of Mr. Balfe's concert, which,
among many other attractions, offered that of Mdlle.
Jenny Lind's second appearance in this great popular
arena for musical entertainments. The programme was
chiefly made up of those light and brilliant morceaux
which appeal to the general ear, without reference to the
extreme refinements of art. Nevertheless, the execution
was in almost every particular so admirable, that it lent
an interest to the performance wholly indepeident of the
materials of which it was composed. Mademoiselle Jenny
Lind was of course, the cynosure of attraction. She
sang no less than five times, which, with three encores,
made eight. The appearance of Signor Lablache, who
had just returned from Paris, was the signal for the most
enthusiastic applause.
EMIGRATION TO SOUTH AUSTRALIA.—The Derby
Mercury states that Colonel Gawler, formerly governor
of Australia, delivered a lecture in that town, on Monday
evening, upon the subject of emigration, "in consequence
of the great number of candidates for emigration, who
have for some time past literally thronged the residence
of Colonel Gawler seeking for information respecting the
above colony." Upwards of 200 operatives and other
persons, with their wives and grown-up persons, were
present. The lecture was illustrated by maps, and the
physical and other advantages of the country were well
explained. Colonel Gawler concluded his observations
by some excellent advice as to the cultivation of habits of
industry, temperance, economy, and religion, as the sure
and certain means of happiness, prosperity, and success in
such a country. At the close of the lecture, a vote of
thanks was proposed to Colonel Gawler, and subsequently
a similar vote to Mrs. Gawler for the kind and lady-like
spirit she had shown in furthering the wishes of those who
were about to emigrate.
THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM'S EMBARRASSMENTS.
—Mr. Forster, the editor of the Stowe Catalogue, throws
much and curious light on the causes of the Buckingham
family embarrassments, which appear to have begun fur-
ther back than the public have had a notion. The first
proximate one mentioned definitely is the burning of
Wotton, one of the family seats, twenty-eight years ago.
The late duke's reception of the exiled royalty of France,
at the close of last century. was also another great cause ;
as was likewise the magnificence with which the present
duke, during his father's lifetime, kept up his position at
the head of the agricultural party ; and, lastly, the im-
mensity of the sums requisite to discharge his own and
his parent's liabilities, when his grace succeeded to the
title. The contents 9f Stowe were valued to the present
duke at £245,000, and he paid probate duty on that sum.
After having added £lOO,OOO worth of fresh property, the
whole sold at the late sale for £75,000, though the prices
were deemed excellent. The recent royal visit to Stowe,
Mr. Forster shows, had nothing whatever to do with the
ruin which has since followed, contrary to a general belief
that prevailed as to the overwhelming costliness of the
occurrence.

THE DUCAL HOUSE OF NORTHUMBERLAND.—The re-
luctance which the Percy blood has always shown to flow
in other than female veins is very remarkable. If at any
time more male births have taken place than have barely
sufficed to keep up the descent of the title from father to
son, they have usually proved unproductive. Indeed, this
has been uniformly the case, with one very recent excep-
tion, for more than three centuries, to go no further back.
The seventh Earl of Northumberland, who succeeded to
the title in 1537, left only four daughters. His brother,
the eighth earl, besides three daughters, had eight sons ;
but all of them died either unmarried or without issue.
The ninth earl left two sons and two daughter; out of the
sons only the eldest had issue. The tenth earl, had six
daughters, and only one son ; and that son, who became
the eleventh earl, left only one child, a daughter. That
daughter, the second heiress of her house, besides six
daughters, had seven sons ; but of them all, only the
eldest had issue ; and he again left only a daughter, once
more and for the third time to transfer the stream of
descent to a new channel. Her eldest son, the second
Duke, left two sons ; but the elder of the two, who be-
came the third duke, died without issue ; and the present
duke, who is the younger, has no family. Of the second

son of the first dtike, IVoWever, who succeeded his father
as Baron Louvaine, and was afterwards created Earl of
Beverley, the posterity in both sexes is very numerous.—
Romance of Me Peerage.
GREAT FLOOD AT INVERNESS.—The river Ness, on
Thursday morning, was flooded to an extent never
equalled in the recollection of the oldest residents in
the town. The old stone bridge, once the glory of the
town, has been completely carried away. The old stone
bridge, likewise, was in a tottering state, and fears were
entertained for its safety. Only a few persons were per-
mitted to pass at once. The water was so deep in Tomna-
hurich-street that the people residing there had to be
taken from their houses in boats. They had also to use
boats in the Haugh. Some families were obliged to escape
from their houses by ladders from the upper storey win-
dows. At the Little Green, the water was up to the
thatch of the houses. An old house next to the bridge,
on the east side of the river, was, at the time of the de-
spatch of the mail, being washed away stone by stone.
Gordon-place was in great danger. All the residents on
either side of the river were leaving their domiciles. Ness
House, likewise, was vacated by the inmates. The scene
from Castle-hill, on Thursday forenoon, was awful in the
extreme. The wind was blowing tremendously, and the
rushing waters presented a sight which bids defiance to
description. On Wednesday, all the canal officials pro-
ceeded, under the direction of the engineer, to Doch-
garroch. It was feared that the banks would soon give
way. Should this happen, the consequences will be most
disastrous : it is distressing to think of the result. The
Spey also has overflown its banks, and the whole of the
adjoining lands are flooded to the extent of several feet.
The damage done to property must be immense.
THE GREATEST IMPOSTOR IN LONDON.—At Guildhall,
on Wednesday, an Irishman, named John M'Cormack,
who, to all appearance, was in great suffering, was ex-
amined on a charge of street begging.—Speck, one of the
city police, stated that he saw the prisoner, whom he
knew to be a begging impostor, following his occupation
in Moorgate-street, and the better to excite sympathy, he
had round his head a white cap, fastened under his chin,
so as to show only his face, and which gave him the ap-
pearance of having recovered from a severe fever, and
that he was greatly debilitated : while, on the contrary,
he had a fine head of hair, and was not at all the object of
pity he pretended to be.—At the desire of the Alderman,
the officer took out the pin from under the chin, and re-
moved the cap, when the appearance of the prisoner was
as instantly altered as if he had received the touch of a
-Harlequin's wand ; for instead of the pale face and wo-
begone looks, a fine crop of black hair set his countenance
off to advantage, while on unbuttoning his outer coat,
which appeared to be much the worse for wear, it was
found that he was warmly and comfortably apparelled,
and, in fact, it was evident he made a trade of begging.
The removal of the cap created laughter.—The officer said
he had known the prisoner for the last seven years ; he
and his wife sometimes went about with five or six chil-
dren, and at other times by themselves, asking alms. In
short, he was one of the greatest impostors in London.—
The magistrate sentenced him to one month's imprison-
ment, leaving it to the doctor to report whether he was
most fit to receive a whipping or be worked at the tread-
mill.

WA."
CONFESSION OF MURDER.—An extraordinary confes-
sion was made on Thursday by a young woman, an in-
mate of the Kingston poorhouse (Portsea Isiand Union),
of two most cold-blooded acts of infanticide committed
about ten years ago. For some time past the woman,
whose name is Mary Anne Skinner, had been leading a
most wretched life from poverty and other causes ; she
had latterly become an inmate of the above-mentioned
union, where, on Thursday, finding death approaching,
she raved and called for one of the guardians to come to
her. Sae called for her sister also, apparently a well-
educated and respectable young woman, and then made a
statement, which one of the guardians (Mr. Marks) took
down in writing from her lips, that she was seduced by a
gentleman, a member of the legal profession, then and
now residing at Gosport; that the first fruit of their inter-
course she, with his cognizance and persuasion, murdered ;
that about twelve months afterwards she again became
enceinte by her seducer, who took her to Portsmouth to a
ball, where the pains of labour were brought on ; he took
her back to Gosport, where she was confined the same
night, and a fine child was born alive ; the child was sent
for by the seducer, taken away in a pocket kerchief by his
clerk, and disposed of as the first had been (a skeleton
was found some years after In the very spot mentioned by

the woman in her confession) ; that the man gave her
money (£5) to assist her to obtain her wants, and to keep
secret the transactions. Other circumstances of infamy
and atrocity are detailed in the confession. Major Tra-
vers, one of the justices of the peace of Portsmouth, was
sent for immediately by Mr. Marks to take down officially
the statement of the woman, but when he arrived the
woman was either so terrified or so exhausted, perhaps
both, that she could not again recount the story. Death
terminated her sufferings on Friday.
EDUCATION.-At a meeting of the subscribers to the
public library at Tamworth, on Friday weel;, Sir Robert
Peel appeared in the character of a liberal promoter of
middle class education. He presided at the meeting, and
took the opportunity to announce that he had just corn-.
pleted a plan for remodelling on a more extended scale
the public school which his father endowed at Tamworth.
It had struck him that the very general attention now
turned by the public to education was limited to the
benefit of the poorer classes ; what were called the middle
classes—on the individuals of which the burden of well
educating their children fell with very heavy pressure—
were somewhat overlooked in the movement. He propo-
sed to provide in his father's school the means of a first-
class education—not classical, but one embracing geogra-
phy, natural philosophy, history, and science in its diffe-
rent branches—for the benefit of the middle class who
reside in Tamworth or its neighbourhood. He would
provide an endowment for a master of first-class attain-
ments ; namely, £7O a year, and £lO for a house till one
was provided, in addition to the liberal allowances made
by the Privy Council—for the school should be placed
under the Privy Council inspection. The present foun-
dation arrangements should remain, and should be for the
benefit of the poor. The scholars of the new endowment
should be admitted on a very small annual payment—X2
a year and their expenses of books, &c. The produce of
these payments should go, if the school were encouraged,
towards enlarging and benefiting the original foundation.
If necessary he would build a new school-room twice the
size of the present. A treasurer should receive all monies,
and the schoolmaster none. He had obtained a master
highly recommended, and would carry out his plans forth-
with. The announcement was received with much ap-
Mause. After the meeting Sir Robert dined with the
ayor and Corporation of Tamworth.

THE DAUGHTER OF A LIBERATED SLAVE.—Among
the audience et the anti-slavery meeting in this city on
Thursday week was Miss Crowther, the daughter of the
Rev. Samuel Crowther, the converted native African, who
has been ordained by the Lord Bishop of London, and is
now engaged in extending the knowledge of the Gospel in
his own country of Abbeokuta. Miss Crowther, who is
also a native of Africa, felt great interest in the proceed-
ings, her father having been rescued from a slave ship by
one of the British cruisers, to which event is owing his
present career of usefulness to his countrymen and the
Church. On leaving the meeting Miss Crowther energe-
tically expressed to those who had conducted her thither
her satisfaction at what she had heard, and only regretted
that she could not tell the meeting how grateful she felt
to the English people for what they had done, and urge
them to renewed exertions in so good a cause.—Devon-
shire Chronicle.

MR. CLOSE AND THE "TIMES."—In a recent num-
ber, the Times inserted an indignant denial by Mr. Close,
of a false calumny about him, and in noticing that denial,
the Times says, "If there be no reply, Mr. Close
is entitled to judgment. Let us wait and see." Well,
how have they waited ? What have they done to set ins
clear light, and not leave in obscurity, their own charges
against Mr. Close, and the far more infamous allegations
of their base correspondents ? The directors of the Chel-
tenham hospital requested that their resolution, which
disposed of the part of the charge which had reference to
the charity, might appear in the Times. The Times
takes no notice! Several hundred of Mr. Close's pa-
rishioners transmit a paper to the Times,uniting in the state-
ment that the infamous allegation of the Times corre-
spondent is " absolutely false," arising fromfeelings
" wicked and malignant.', What does the Times do with
this document, and with Mr. Close's reply ? They ex-
clude them both ! The great interest they express in
Mr. Close's good name exhibits itself in a very remark-
able manner. This is persecution, and it is persecution
for the truth's saks.

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.—At a recent meeting in
Durham, Mr. Wharton told the following marvellous, but
no doubt, from the high respectability of the narrator,
true story :—At a village not far from Bishop Auckland,
there were several small land sale collieries, and about 25
years ago a man was standing upon the settle board at the
top of one of those pits, and by some accident or other he
walked over the settle-board, and fell from the top to the
bottom of the mine, which was 42 fathoms deep. Now,
he believed that the summit of the middle tower of the
Cathedral was 212 feet high from the churchyard ; and by
multiplying 42 fathoms by six it gave them 252 feet, and
it thus appeared that this man fell 40 feet higher than the
summit of the middle tower of the Cathedral—upon his
legs, and walked away from the bottom of the pit. It was
difficult to imagine that any person could fall from the top
of such a place to the bottom without being dashed to
pieces ; and the question was, how did he escape ? He
described his sensations in his descent. His first sensation
was of indescribable horror, but after that he seemed to
have lost all his senses. There was a common and vulgar
notion that when a man fell from a great height and was
dashed to pieces, he died long before he got to the bottom.
This man had not much time for reflection in going down
the pit, but when he got to the bottom the first thing
which occurred to him was that some body might be fol-
lowing him, and he had better get out of the way as
quickly as he could. (Laughter.) He did not, however,
well explain to what his preservation might be attributed.
He (Mr. W.) was greatly interested in the incident, and
on descending the shaft himself, he found the bottom of
the pit was exceedingly contracted—the upper part was 7
feet in diameter and the bottom part was not more than
4k or 5 feet. The man seemed to have had on a large
loose jerkin, and he had no doubt but in his progress this
garment expanded, and that in the lower part of the pit
the air was compressed under him, and that this com-
pression of the air buoyed him up and saved his life.
There was no other possible way to account for this pre-
servation, than by supposing that his jacket acted as a sort
of parachute, and thus saved his life. The fact of his
having gone down the pit was indisputable; he (Mr. W.)
had seen the man, who had not a broken bone, and he
spoke of the accident with the greatest glee.
ROMANTIC STORY.—We can vouch for the accuracy of
the following facts :—Years back Mr. E., a respectable
inhabitant of Brighton, who carried on the business of a
plumber and glazier, died, leaving behind him a widow
and a daughter. Mrs. E. gave up the business and re-
moved to another part of the country—London, we be-
lieve. At all events, a few months back she was in the
great metropolis, on a visit to some friends, with her
daughter, now a very beautiful young woman. As the
mother and daughter were passing one day through the
Strand, they were overtaken by a violent storm of rain,
which compelled them to look around for a place of shel-
ter, and none presented itself more opportunely than the
porch of a large mansion, the nature of which at the time
was not known to the fair refugees, but which was, in
fact, the banking-house of S. S. and P., one of the most
wealthy firms of London. Here the ladies took their
station, but had not been there long before the door of
the bank opened, and a young man of genteel appearance
presented himself, and begged that they would step in
until the violence of the storm had passed. The ladies
accepted the offer, and were escorted by their polite con-
ductor into an inner room of the establishment. What
passed here it is not in our power to say. The conversa-
tion, we may presume, turned upon the ordinary topics—
the weather, the amusements, the incidents of the day;
but, whatever the subject of the conversation, it was
agreeable to all parties. At length the storm subsided,
the rain ceased, and the ladies rose, and with many thanks
to their young host withdrew, but not before he had suc-
ceeded in drawing from them the address of their London
residence. Nor was it long before he availed himself of
this information, called, and obtained permission to re-
peat the visit, which he did again and again, until, after a
certain time, the young man declared his attachment,
made proposals for the hand of the young lady, and was
accepted. The parents of both parties were -favourable
to the union, and a few days. ago the London papers an-
nounced to their readers the marriage of the eldest son of
Sir John P. of the firm of S. S. and P., to Miss E., the
daughter of the late Mr. E., of Brighton. The days of
chivalry may be gone, but those of true gallantry and
disinterested love will last while the human heart beats.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AND ROBBERY IN LEEDS.—On
Wednesday, two labourers, named Rawson and Spooner,
were placed at the bar of the Leeds court-house, charged
with having, with two other persons not in custody,
formed a plan to commit a murder and robbery, and
which plan Rawson and one of the other persons had at-
tempted to carry into effect. The following particulars
have transpired :—The person against whom the design
was formed is John Sims, coal dealer, of St. Peter's-street,
St. Peter's-square. On Wednesday, the l'ith ultimo,
the prisoner Rawson and a man not in custody met at
Spooner's house, and it was agreed that they should mur-
der Sims and rob him of all the money he had in his
house, as they had been told that he had a hoard of about
£l5OO in gold which he usually kept under the pillow of
his bed. The result of the conference at Spooner's house
was an agreement to meet at six o'clock next morning, to
carry their object into effect. Accordingly, at that hour
on the morning of the 18th, Rawson and another man
went to Spooner's, when the latter was heard to say to his
wife, in an under tone of voice, " Tell them I won't go.
for I think one of them is soft, and will give information."
Rawson and the other man then left Spooner's and went
to Sims's house, pretending that they had gone for half a
hundred weight of coals. He was in bed, and told them
to come again in an hour. They never went again that
morning, but postponed their next visit to nine o'clock at
night. Sims had just got his supper, and being given to
understand that they wanted some coals he admitted them
into his house. While he was in the act of stooping down
to get the coals, Rawson placed a cloth over his mouth,
and struck him a violent blow on the head with a large
hammer. He fell upon the coals, but, partially recover-
ing himself, he grappled with his assailant and a struggle
ensued. Rawson's companion, immediately after the
blow was given with the hammer, rushed up stairs; but
upon hearing the struggle, and fearing that their intended
victim might prove too strong for Rawson, which indeed
was likely to be the case, he returned without searching
for the expected booty, and both he and Rawson ab-
sconded, leaving the hammer behind them. The police
were informed, and apprehended the prisoners. Spooner
confessed that the crime was to be committed, and that
he lent Rawson the hammer. Rawson also confessed that
he struck Sims with it. They also confessed to a highway
robbery. Sims lives alone in hishouse. Another man impli-
cated has been since captured. They were all remanded.
THE COST OF REFORMING CRIMINALS.—We have
something like 120,000 persons in prison annually, for
terms longer or shorter. This number will give us a per-
manent average for a gaol population of more than 20,000
persons. For these, and a margin beyond—say, altoge-
ther, 25,000—prison accommodation must be found. This
number is about the total of -what is called the " criminal
" '

population" of this country _let is, of England and
Wales. Scotland and Ireland, with the islands of Guern-
sey, Jersey, Man, &c., probably furnish about an equal
number. But, for the moment, let us only take England
and Wales as an example. To build prisons in various
parts of England and Wales for the accommodation of
25,000 prisoners on the separate system, would require
an extravagant sum. See what Reading cost. The num-
ber of cells as given in the last gaol returns is 248. The
prison cost in round numbers £50,000. A palace for 248
unfortunate persons, with various conveniences not to be
found in the houses of the middle classes, cost the rate-
payers of Berks an insignificant trifle under £50,000.
That is, about £202 for the apartments of each individual.
If the general magistracy of England and Wales were to
follow the example of their brethren of Berks, they would
require from the taxpayers, for building alone, not less
than £5,000,000. But it may be said that Reading gaol
is unnecessarily expensive. We don't want a " collegiate,
castellated Gothic, or Tudor style," as Mr. Field describes
his prison to be of. Then let us go to the " model" for
all England—Pentonville. It holds 500 persons, and, in
the first instance, cost £90,071 155., that is, for each pri-
soner's accommodation, £lBO 3s. But since then consi-
derable cost has been incurred in addition, and the price
of the land-is entirely left out. If these two items were
added to the amount of the outlay rendered in the official
report, we have doubts whether the average per cell would
be much below that of Reading. If a difference were to
appear, the " collegiate and castellated" principle would
be sufficient to account for it. A sum of five millions !
But this is not the worst feature of the case, even as to
the simple question of expense. The cost of carrying on
the system merits no less serious an attention. The ex-
penses of Pentonville for 1847 amounted to £19,343 ss.
9d. ; prisoners' earnings and sale of old stores amounted
to £1,144 17s. 6d. ; leaving the balance of expenses
against the prison of £18,198 Bs. 3d. for the year. To
this must be added 5 per cent. on the outlay,—say on
£100,000,--05,000. These sums added together make
£23,198 Bs. 3d. as the total dead loss to the community
for the
,s separate management of a daily average of 457
prisoners. In other words, each prisoner has cost the
country, over and above
At the produce of his labour, nearly
fifty guineas a year 1 Reading it is still more.—Daily
