MURDER—George Dixon, the man who was dreadfully beat with a poker about five weeks since by Cornelius Crawley, while in company with an abandoned woman in Vine-street, St. Martin's, died a few days agn, of his wounds. The Coroner's Inquest, which sat on the body, returned a verdict of—Wilful murder against Cornelius Crawley, and a warrant was issued for his apprehension. Watson and Waller, two of the constables of St. Martin's, on Thursday night proceeded to a house in Parker-street, Drury-lane, in Iconsequence of information communicated to them, in search of the murderer ; but, after gaining admis. sion with great difficulty, they searched the house in vain. As they were leaving Parker-street, they were attacked by four men,and in the affray Waller was severely wounded in the leg with a sword or dirk. These villains then succeeded in m.tking their escape. A private soldier, of the South Down regiment, named M'Kelvey, who had lanied from a transport on Monday,-the 19th ult. disputed with his wife about a 20s. note. In his passion he unfortunately gave her a violent kick, of which she instantly died. An Inquest was held, and the Jury returned a verdict of-Murder. He has been committed to Downpatrick gaol.  Bow merr.—Yesterday, C. Jordan and J. Burlier were brought to this Office, charged_with robbing a waggon on Thursday night, on 'he Essex road.. Clements, a horse parole, stated, that he re. ceived information that a waggon had been robbed of a chest of tea and other property ; in consequence of which he went in pursuit of the robbers, and cameup with a one horse cart, in which were the prisoners, and, perceiving something of a bulky nature in the cart, he asked what they had got ? Bustler replied, it was a box of apples ; but on knocking off a corner of the box, it proved to be tea, upon which he took them iato custody. In defence, Bustler said he was a shoemaker, in Dog-row, Whiteehapel.road, and bad found the tea in a hedge, near Epping, on Thursday evening, when he was by himself ; that he had never seen Jordan till that evening, when he asked him to give him a can with the tea to London. He was on his return from Epping Fair, where he had been to sell horses. Jordan confirmed this statement, although they had been seen together. They were remanded.  Last evening Mr. Wilson, the owner of an unintabited house, No. 28, Surrey-street, in the Strand, which is under repair, and has a few articles of household furniture in the upper part, went to fasten it up; he had proceeded no further than -the hall when he heard a whispering. He had no light with him, but was convinced it was not any of the workmen, and having prOceeded to the back of his premises to give an alarm, three or four robbers rushed out, two of whom were taken by the neighbours, when one of them was seen to throw away several skeleton keys. They vwe delivered into the custody of a constable, who bratist them to the Office, where they underwent an examination, and proved to be old offenders, named Harry Griffiths and John Beche. Limberick and another Patrole went to search the premises : they ascertained that th had broke into the adjoining house, occupied by Mrs. Howel, by forcing open a doer which bad been nailed up, which - separated the two houses, and that a number of drawers had been-broke in a bed-room, on the second floor, and a large quantity of wearing apparel stolen, and in which room was an iron crow, which had evidently been used in forcing open the drawers. They were • consmitred for further examination. An acknowledged sentiment by all, that every animal has its particular enemy. Man's greatest enemy is worms, which even in infancy kill thousands, as almost every parent can witness; what family but some have been aMicted with convulsions, fits, pains in the stomach, head-ach, and in children hard belly, pale countenance, offensive broth, itching at the seat and nose A hasty consumption often ensues—to prevent is better than cure.
