DAY). SAFFRON-,Hitt, MußDEß.—Between nine and ten o'clock this morning, William Lee, proceeded to the House of Correction, for the purpose of bringing Ambrose to the lock-up room of the Office. On being called to the front yard he said, "Ah ! Mr. Lee, what, you are come early ; well, God bless you for that,— I'm innocent of any intentional crime, and it an't pleasant to he hooted at," (alluding to what passed on Friday last, when going from the office.) When Lee asked him how he felt himself, he maid never better, either in mind or body, except that he was very cold ; he then added quickly, " I know I shall be committed, but a Jury will acquit me ; for (very earnestly), God knows I never intended injury to the poor woman, though 1 wanted to get rid of her,—but not by such horrid means." On being told that it was publicly stated, that he came to London to give himself into the hands of justice, he strongly denied it, and said, that although he never for a moment intended concealment, yet he did not contemplate a voluntary surrender. He entered the office of the private door, and was immediately taken to the lock-up room, preparatory to his examination. At eleven o'clock W. L. RoGr as, Esq., the Presiding Magistrate, having taken his seat, and the witnesses being in attendance, the examination commenced. . _  On the prisoner's being placed at the bar, Mr. Rogers said, that he understood a true bill had been found against him by the Grand Jury at the last October Sessions, and asked Bamley if such was the case. _ _  Darnley said that lie had been instructed to file a bill which had been given out se a true one. He had, however, just been to the Old. Bailey, and convinced himself that it Was correct. The certificate wail then making out. Witnesses all spoke to the Coroner's Inquest being held, and a verdict of Wilful Murder returned. George Thomas was then examined.--fle lodged in the next room to the deceased on the same floor. Her name was Ann Perry, though she was generally called Mrs. Ambrose, having lived for a considerable time with the prisoner as his wife. On witness coining home on the night the murder was supposed to be committed, he went to his room about ten o'clock, and heard the prisoner and deceased quarrelling dreadfully, and sonic heavy blows given. The prisoner continued to use the most horrid language to the deceased, and afterwards another violent blow was struck, which was followed by a heavy fall, the deceased's voica was not heard again. On Tuesday the landlord, and Mr. Robinson, who lodged in the room underneath the deceased, went up stairs and found her weltering in her blood, in which situation she was also seen by witness. She was lying on the eight side, and concealed by some chairs, covered with a large sack. Deceased was often absent for days together, during which time another female cohabited with the prisoner. Witness thinks prisoner was sober on the night; in fact he never knew him otherwise. .  William Robinson, a bookbinder, stated that be lived in the apartment immediately under that occupied by the prisoner and deceased. He did not hear any quarrel on Saturday night. On Monday morning the prisoner brought down a flat iron previously borrowed by the deceased, and then said that his wife had not been home all night. On Tuesday morning, suspecting all was not as it should be, he knocked at the prisoner's room door, and receiving no answer went in. He then saw deceased as described by the last witness.—This testimony was confirmed by Mr. Jay. Mr. Shepherd, surgeon, examined the body, which exhibited some very severe bruises in many places, but particularly about the head and temples. These contusions no doubt occasioned her death.  ME. ROGERS DOW asked Ambrose whether he wished to say any thing more. Prisoner—Your worship it is all right., but I should like to say a few words if yin► will please to hear me. He then went on to repeat what he had before stated, protesting hie innocence, and asking the Magistrate to hear Mr. Walker speak in his behalf. Mr. ROGERS said that would he no kind of service at present. He was then fully committed for trial. He says he is fiftyeight years of age.
