HATTON-GARDEN.—CHARGE OF MURDER.—J. Price, a powerful young man, having the appearance of a working blacksmith, was lsrought up iu custody of this office, by Davis, a Clerkenwell constable, and placed at the bar before Mr. SergeanfSELLosr, charged with the murder of an Irishman, named William White. From the testimony of Thomas White, landlord of the Carpenters' Arms, Bury-street, Goswell-street, it appeared that upon his return home, about nine o'clock the preceding night, he found the prisoner and the person now deceased engaged in a fight in the skittle-ground. He attempted to get near them to part them, but owing to the great crowd he found it impossible to do so. They fought two rounds after his return home ; at the conclusion of the latter one, White fell backward, with the prisoner upon him ; after which he never spoke. A surgeon was sent for with all possible speed, who bled White, and by whose advice that individual was taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he expired about two o'clock yesterday morning, from the blows received from the prisoner. The quarrel between the parties originated in consequ,ence of some altercation respecting the proper arrangement of the nine pins. Mr. Sergeant Settosr inquired if information of the circumstances had been given to the Coroner ?—Davis replied in the affirmative. Mr. Sergeant SELLON then remanded the prisoner to a future day, to abide the result of the Coroner's inquiry. James Mullins, an Irishman of an extremely violent and desperate character, was charged with an assault upon Jelin Hoyle, a constable of Pancras. About seven o'clock the night before, Mullins, armed with a heavy bludgeon, was breaking the parlour windows of Ne. 4, Burton-crescent, when several persons interfered to restrain his violence, some of whom he made desperate attempts upon, till at length one man, rushing in upon him, succeeded in knocking him down, and taking the bludgeon away from him ; after which, having recovered himself, he ran off, and made good his escape. Subsequently, about 10 o'clock, he again returned to Burton-crescent, but armed with a large clasp knife, the Wade of which was upwards of six inches long—and Ces now attempted to stab every one who approached him. ri of " Murder, murder," ran along the 'streets, the people flying in all directions, when Hoyle came up, and wielding his truncheon, endeavoured to take the defendant into custody, but he made several desperate efforts at stabbing the constable, till with a blow of the truncheon his hand was disabled ; he then fled, surrounded by about fifty of his countrymen, who covered his retreat, till he got clear away. He was pursued, however, by several constables and watchmen to his residence, at Compton-place, where he was taken, concealed under a mattress and bed. Taylor, a constable, now stated that he understood a person was lying dangerously ill at the hospital, whom the prisoner had stabbed with the knife; and a young man, named Clarke, informed the Magistrate that the defendant a few weeks ago killed a brother of his by a blew, which be had it tlpe most unprovoked manner given him. Mr. Rogeas desired Taylor to inquire whether any person bad been injured, and in the mean time committed the defendant to the New Prison for further examination on Friday next.  MARYLEBONE,— George Orro, the driver of a Paddington stage coach, belonging to Messrs. Salmon and Bull, was charged with doing damage to the carriage of James Wilson, Esq., M.P., for York, by wilful misconduct in driving. The defendant brought forward evidence to prove that the complainant's coachman was driving much faster than himself, and came so unexpectedly across him in the road, that it was impossible to pull up in time. The MA OISTR ATES considered the circumstance perfectly  accidental, and told Mr. Wilson if he thought otherwise he could seek redress in a Court of law.
