CHARGS OF MURDER.  Cotiostee's INauesr.—List night, at seven o'clock, a Jury was sernmoned before Mr. UN• tvlte, at the George public-house, in Old-street, for the purpose of ascertaining how and by what means John Levi came to:his death. The Jury having been sworn, proceeded to the house of Mr. IVigginton On undertaker), to take a view of the body, it having been removed from St. Bartholinnew's Hospital, in cousenuence'of the deceased having expired in the Liberty of St. Luke's. The several witnesses deposed to the fight between the deceased and the prisoner, but no per-. son. saw the fatal blow, or the instillment with which it was accompanied. The'.most curious feature is the case is the number and character. of the wounds inflicted on the deceased, ail of which seem to have been inflicted (as appears by the following evidence) by a sharp instrument, and yet no such instrument was seen or disco. eered Mr. \V. Taylor, surgeon, of Goswell-street, suited, that the deceased was brotight into his shop about halt-past 12 on Solidity morning, and on an examination of the body. witness found a transverse wountlacross the scalp of' the 'forehead, which went to the skull: there was another wound on the face in the shape of a cross, on the left cheek, between-the,mouth and the ear, neither of which was, in witoess's opinion,' mortal. At that time witness did not," front the contusion, and finding hint dead, examine the hotly any furtiter. The body being removed to St. liartholomeet's Hospital, and witness understanding that tit man was in custody for murder, lie made a more minute examination ; and in addiskon to what he, toil already discovered, he fond the body several small wounds, but they were not of any serious importance. On proceeding lower down, he found a wound on the inside of the right thigh about three quarters of an inch wide, and an inch and a half in depth, which he found, upon introducing his finger, to be across the femoral artery ; and, on dissection, he found it to be cut through. There was another wound on the opposite. thigh, about the same -size, but" which was merely-a muscular wound. He attributed his death to the wound on the femoral artery. Witness discovered this day what he bad not noticed before, a wound between the thOmb and fore,l finger of the deceased's right band, which haddi'tided the flesh very deep, and which was probably occasioned by a knife or some sharp. instrument. having been drawn through his hand. The wound might have been inflicted by a pocket7knife. At this period of the investigation, the watchhouse keeper was called, tied he said, that after the prisoner had been some time yin the watch-f house he began to cry, "and said he was sorry at having brought his parents into disgrace. The clothes of the deceased- were then produc-. ed, covered- with Mood, and exhibited a great nuMber of cuts, which must have been inflicted by a shArp instrument. At half past ten o'clock last night, the Jury feeling Satisfied with the evidence adduced, :the Coroner observed, that it was impossible to int-. pate the stabs which occasioned the death of the deceased, to any. other person titan the prisoner, as all the witnesses declared there wits no third person present tinting the struggles, and the de-. cease&was found at the end of the second round covered with blood ; the. ground was also bloody. The Jury consulted aloe minutes, and returned a verdict of Wilful Marder-agaiast "Oderson, and the Coroner issued- his wirront ,for Lis being lodged in Newgate,  INttLLIGENCt.
