      to be liberally paid . He refused to suppl y the arms which , if the rumour be true , were to be employed against the military and the authorities . ° Thc best account of Mr . Macready s mode of leaving New York that i can find is the following : — " Mr . Macready left the New York Hotel , where he was living , and departed from the city at three o ' clock on Friday morning , accompanied by several of his friends . He expressed his determination to return no mare for ever . His baggage was taken away yesterday morning , at five o clock , in charge ofa friend . After the firing of the first round from the military , a friend of Mr . Macready told him that there had been bloodshed , which seemed to afreet him very much . He threw up his hands and exclaimed . * Mv Gm \! has mv annearance led to the

      sacrifice of human life ? I wish I had adhered to mv first resolution , and not y ielded to the solicitations of mv friends . Thev assured me there would be no difficulty . ' He then retired to his dressingioom ,-and prepared to leave the theatre . After harms got safely to tbe New York Hotel , w was deemed prudent by himself and friends that he Should leave the city as soon as possible , lest an attack should be made upon that house . The uniform of a soldier was procured , and in that disguise he left the hotel on horseback for New llochelle , where he could wait for the first morning train to lio : < ton . It is said that he passed through a portion © f tbe crowd on his way out of the city , but did not excite their suspicion . He was accompanied by

      several military officers , who acted as an escort and body guard , until he was clear of the city . " To show that the spirit of riot-was anything but quelled on Saturday , I clip the following two ** calls" from a morning paper : — ' Arouse , Guards —The Rynders Guards will meet at the head-quarters , 28 , Park-row , on Monday ^ May 14 , 1849 , for the purpose of forming the corps to go on a drilling and target excursion . Every member is expected to he present , as this is the time for excursions for all guards . By order of the Orderly . " "Kohler Guards , attention!—The Holder Guards

      -will meet at- the Sixth , TVard Hotel , on Monday evening , May 14 , 3840 , for the purpose of forming the corps to go on a target excursion . Every memi-er is expected to be-on hand on this occasion . By < rder of the Captain . Such notices are very significant . Astor-p lace and the ne ighbouring streets were guarded all Saturday and Sunday by the military . On Sunday afternoon the rain came down m torrents , and there was evidently no immediate necessity for military occupation . The ground was then kept by the police , the military being ready at a moment ' s notice .

      Wreck Of An Emigrant Ship. The Tidings O...

      WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP . The tidings of the wreck of the Hannah , with nearly 200 emigrants , hound to Quebec , from Ifewry , ¦ was reported on Monday afternoon at Lloyds , the particulars having been received by the American mail-steamer America , at Liverpool . The unfortunate vessel the Hannah was a brig of about 200 tons burden , belonging to Maryport , and manned by a crew , it is said , of twelve seamen , Tinder the command of Mr . Shaw , the master . On the 3 rd of-April last she sailed from Xewry with the above number of emigrants on board , having teen previously overhauled and examined by her Majesty ' s emigration agent at that port . The emigrants chiefly consisted of agricultural labourers , and their wives and children . The passage up to the 27 th , considering the season of the year , - was as -favourable as could be expected . The vessel then encountered heavy winds and a quantity of floating ice . On the morning of the 29 th the unfortunate ship struck on a ree of ice ; it was about four

      o ' clock when she struck . A charge is brought against the master and the first and second officers of their having been guilty of one of the most revolting acts of inhumanity possible to be conceived . They had got the life-boat out , and the moment they found the vessel would inevitably go down they jumped into it , and abandoned the ship with the emigrants on board . Their screams for help rent the air , and it was with difficulty that the remainder of the crew could induce the frantic creatures to comprehend the onl y chance left of saving then lives . Fortunately the ice was firm under the ship ' s bows , and the seamen convincing them as to its security , many got on it . Its solidity being then apparent , a desperate struggle took place amongst the emigrants to leave the wreck . Men , women , and children , with nothing on but their ni g ht attire , were scrambling over the mass of ice . Many of the poor creatures . slipped between the huge masses , and were either crushed to death or met with a

      • watery grave- The last to leave the wreck , were some ofthe crew , who contrived to save a small portion of spirits and a f exr blankets . Soon after they had got clear , the shi p ' s stern rose as it were above the water , and she weut down head foremost , just forty minutes after the collision with the ice . The sufferings ofthe wretched creatures were most harrowing . The seamen who were among them humanely gave up what covering they had to the women , some of whom had been shockingly wounded and bruised . Thus were they exposed the whole of that day till fire o ' clock in the afternoon , when a vessel hove in sight , and bore down to the edge of the field of ice . it proved to be the barque Ificargua , also bound for Quebec , Captain Marshal . He got the ship ice fencer down , and prepared to take to

      the ice . By seven o ' clock he had got so close in that ia the course of two hours he and his crew succeeded in getting hold of about fifty of the poor creatures , and placing them on board his vessel . The remainder stood crouched together in another part ofthe ice some distance off , inaccessible from the position of the ship . Captain Marshal had all sails clewed up , and got a rope fastened to a piece of ice , and with the long-boat pushed off with his men to the spot . After considerable difficulty he succeeded in getting to the edge , where they remained huddled together . The whole of them were saved . The number got on board the Xicargua ¦ were 129 passengers and seamen , the greatest part

      of whom were frost-bitten . As far as Captain Marshal could ascertain from the survivors , the number that perished by being crushed to death between the ice and frozen to death were between fifty and sixty . As soon as ho had succeeded in getting all on board , the shi p was got under weigh , and proceeded in the direction of Cape Ray . Every comfort that his means afforded was placed at the sufferers' disposal . The next day , meeting with the barque Broom , of Glasgow , twenty-sevea of the poor creatures were transferred to that vessel ; and in the course of the following day forty-nine of the survivors were placed on board three other vessels . Ike Xicargua reached Quebec on the 10 th of April .

      The fate of the master and the others who took io the life-boat and abandoned the emigrants is not known .

      Destituctive Fires. Great Fire Near Oxi-...

      DESTItUCTIVE FIRES . Great Fire near Oxi-oro-Street . —On Monday night , shortly after nine o ' clock , a fearful fire , which was not extinguished until nearly midnight , and not until a quantity of property had been destroyed , broke out in Blenheim-street , Oxford-street . The premises were formerl y in . the tenure of the celebrated Dr . Brookes , but at the present time were in the occupancy of Messrs . Alderson and Sons , lead merchants and pewterers . The flames originated , from some cause at present unknown ,

      in the warehouse adjoining the Blenheim Dispensary . That . building , containing a vast quantity of oil , terpentine , and other equally inflammable articles , caused the fire to progress with unusual swiftness , go that before an engine had time to reach the place ihe warehouse and all it contained beeame wrappod in one immense sheet of flame . This caused a general turn-out ofthe firemen , and forthwith the engines of the parish , London Brigade , and "West of England Insurance Company , from the station in Waterloo-road arrived . The flames at that

      June were progressing so fearfully that the total destruction of the dispensary appeared inevitable ; the firemen , however , set their engines to work , and did all that was possible to save the latter building from the ravages of the flames . Another warehouse , belonging to Messrs . Alderson , running -under the dkpensary , whilst the firemen were at ¦ work , also became ignited ,, when the whole force ¦ was brought te bear npon it , but in spite of which the fire continued to spread , and as the water was scattered upon tho blazing oil and spirits it caused them to rise still Jiigher , until the whole neighbourhood was in danger . The firemen , finding that no good eould be accomplished by working the engines npon the vats of oil which were oafire , had the hose

      irom the engines conveyed round the burning premises , aad by that means they were enabled to encompass the flames ou every side , but it was not until the extensive warehouses in whkh they originated was burned out , its valuable aontents consumed , the iuilding uu < fc ? r the dispensary severely damaged by £ re and water ,, and the lectere-room of the dispensary injury by fere , & c ., the flooring in several places Leing obliged io be cut away so that the Een could discharge the sater on the fire . The whole damage , His stated hysome of the firemen , trill not he £ irsh « rt of £ 2 , 000 . Fuht ser PARueELABS . —Discovert or Dead Bodies . —The firemen having eventually succeeded

      in extinguishing the fire a strange discovery was made . On the men e & termg , by means of a small wndow , a kind of la » ber-rooni parallel with the first floor lea & , their attention was directed to what appeared to be the remains of two or three persons vho had been burned . to death . Upon making a Closer inspection it was ascertained that the substances found weise the remains of two , if not three , human beings , which had not been divested of the flesh , and which was so hard and dry , from long exposure to the air , as not to be easily removed . The head of each party was off , and there is every reason for supposing that the bodies had been used b y the celebrated Dr . Brookes , who formerly bad possession of the premises , for anatomical purposes . AJftongh every inquiry has been made for the pur-

      pose of learning how tho disaster occurred , nothing satisfactory could be gleaned ; the prevailing opinion , however , is , that it arose from the spontaneous ignition of some g ^ asy rags . Bad it not been fo r the exertion of the fir * there _ uJO doubt that the premises of Mr . Co burn tbe w ellknown bookseller in Marlborough- * reet , vrould also have been destroyed , as ^ warehouse of that centleman adjoined those burned down . S FirTTv BERMONBSEY . _ An extensive conflagration broke out on Tuesday morning , shortly before two o ' clock , in Willow-walk , Bermondsey by which a vast amount of property has been f ^ royed The flames commenced on the premises belonging to Mr . Clapham , a tanner and leather-dresser . The moment the discovery was made an alarm was g iven ; but before assistance could arrive the . greater portion of the works was enveloped in flames . As soon as water could be procured the whole of the engines

      were set to work , but in sp ite ofthe endeavours of the firemen the flames crossed tho carriage road and fired almost simultaneously the extensive works of Mr . Hugman , in the same line of business . The fire was not entirely extinguished until nearly six o ' clock . The loss of property is considerably greater than was at first expected . The buildings which have been consumed covered an area of some hundred square feet . The official report returns the greater portion of Mr . Clapham ' s property as being destroyed , and tho foreman s house adjoining considerably damaged by fire . The premises and contents were insured in the Sun . The bark-houses , mills , and leather-houses of Mr . Hugman are also returned as being all but destroyed , and the Fellmonger ' s Arms Tavern , on the opposite side of the road , the property of Mr . C . Head , as damaged by fire . Mr . Hugman was insured in the Sun office .

      Southwaitk.—" The Course Of Truk Love Se...

      SOUTHWAItK . — " The Course of Truk Love sever nin run Smooth . —William Sandford , a young man of respectable appearance , was-brought before Mr . Cottingliam , charged with creating a disturbance in the house of Jlr . Joseph Jarmain , landlord of the Queen ' s Head , in Fashion-street ^ Bermondsey , and instigating his daughter , a girl of fifteen years of age , to abandon her home . —The complainant stated that for some time past the defendant had been in the habit of frequenting his house , and as he observed of late that familiarities , whicli he was averse to encourage , were passing between the latter and his daughter , a very young girl , he forbade him the house . The defendant , however , still persisted ia Ms visits , althoug h remonstrated with , and warned not to come there , and on Saturday

      evening he presented himself and forced his way into the room where complainant ' s daughter was sitting , and repeated his solicitations for her to leave home and accompany him . On that occasion the defendant became so exceedingly turbulent in his conduct , that when threatened to he turned out he made use of language ofa hig hly irritating nature , vowing that complainant's daughter should not remain longerunder her parental roof ; and his conduct at length became so violent , that in order to prevent serious consequences , he was at last compelled to call a , policeman , and give the aggressor into custody . The complainant here handed a letter addressed by the defendant to his daughter , to the magistrate , in order that his worship might be made acquainted with the imiroper character of his

      epistles te so young a girl . —Mr . Cottmgham having perused the letter , observed that it was of a most improper description , and that the father was perfectly justified in banishing such a customer from his house . The magistrate added that if the girl was possessed of property , and the defendant was attempfcmg to induce her to leave home and getmarried to him in order to obtain possession ot it himself—if he succeeded in getting her away for such a purpose , he would place himself in a difficulty that he little expected , if proceedings were adopted against him , for such an offence , upon conviction , would render him liable to transportation . —Defendant : I don't want her money , and consider myself as respectable as the young lady is , although her parents are opposed to our union . —Mr . Cottingham : Pray what age are you ? Defendant : I am nearly twenty !—The father said that the defendant was not yet out of his apprenticeship ; but that independently of that he ( complainant ) did not wish

      his daughter , quite a young girl , to marry the man . —The defendant said that he considered Mr . Jarmain the aggressor in this matter , and that he had no right to expel him from his house more than any other customer ; that it was a public-house , and he was bound to furnish his customers with entertainment on being paid for it , but that he refused to serve him . —Mi-. Cottingham told the defendant that the landlord of any house of that description was perfectly justified in refusing to serve a person who conducted himself in such a manner as the defendant was proved to have done . He should call upon the defendant to find two sureties of £ 25 each , and himself in £ 50 to keep the peace and be of good behaviour . The magistrate , at the same time , advised the complainant , if he could manage it conveniently , to send his daughter to some of her relations in the country , a step which the father intimated he should adopt as speedily as possible . —The defendant was locked up in default of finding tho required sureties . Atxeged Misconduct in a Dissenting Chapel . —

      It . Edgcomb and T . Luck were charged with intruding themselves into a chapel iu Webber-street , Blaekfriar ' s-road , and disturbing tho congregation . —Mr . Thomas Cooksay said that he was minister of a dissenting chapel , of which the defendants were formerly members , that they had for sometime past withdrawn themselves . On Sunday evening , however , they intruded themselves , and caused an interruption by exclaiming that he was nothing but an impostor , and afterwards addressing the congregation . They were repeatedly requested to be silent , but at length they became so noisy that it was found necessary to call in a policeman to prevent a breach of the peace . The complainant added that the chapel was duly licensed . —The defendants stated that the doctrines promulgated by the preacher ofthe chapel were at variance with Christianity , and that they presented themselves there in order to enlighten the congregation . They ( the defendants ) thought they were justified in their interference under such circumstances . — Mr .

      Cottingham informed them that they were very much mistaken , aud that they were not justified in interrupting the service in the manner described . However , if they now promised to keep away from the chapel in future , he would order them to be set at liberty , but if not , he must bind them down to keep the peace . —Luck at once assented ; but his fellow prisoner said that he couldnot conscientiously make a promise ofthe kind , for he could not bear to hear a man get up in a pulpit and propegate such doctrines without interfering , and pointing out to the congregation the errors of the preacher . —Mr , Cottin gham : But you are not compelled to go there unless you like ; and as the place is duly licensed , you must not interfere with the service ¦ , and in order to prevent such a scene in a place of worship

      I must adjudge you to find sureties to keep the peace , —Luck , the other defendant , was discharged . Violent Assault upon Miss Vincent , of the Victoria Theatre . —Eliza Cole , alias White , a young woman of prepossessing appearance , was charged with attempting to strangle Miss Vincent , the actress connected with the Victoria Theatre . The complainant , who was accompanied by Mr . Osbaldiston , stated that a little after eleven o ' clock on the previous ni ght she left the theatre , and was about to get into her carriage at the stage door , when she perceived the prisoner following her . She knew nothing about her , but the prisoner rushed upon her , and attempted to strangle her ; and no doubt she would have succeeded , had not one ofthe actors come to her assistance . Witness further stated that she was unacquainted with the-prisoner , and had had no connexion with her family . She knew her some years ago as an actress , but had nothing to do with her . —Mr . Edwin , the chief clerk , asked Miss Vincent whether the prisoner did not claim relationship with Mr . Osbaldiston . —Miss Vincent replied that she was not aware that such was the case . —Mr . Johnson , one of the performers connected with the Victoria Theatre , said that he was making his way to the lobby after the performance , when he heard screams and cries of " Murder . " He instantly rushed out at the stage entrance , and saw the prisoner in Miss Vincent ' s carriage , with her hands grasped ti ghtly round her throat . She exclaimed , " that she was determined to murder her , as she had a vindictive feeling towards her 2 " He seized hold of her , and gave her into custody ofthe constable of the theatre . —Murray , the constable of the theatre , said that he took the prisoner into custody , and on searching her he found a quantity of stones and a sharp knife . —In . defence , the prisoner said Bhe was an ; old acquaintance of Miss Vincent , and knew her before she lived with Mr . Osbaldiston . She had been a ballet-girl at the Haymarket ; and when Miss Vincent performed there she assisted her but since she had been in distress all her friends had deserted her . When Mr . Shepherd was with Miss Vincent she called upon her for assistance , but she then treated her soill that she was determined to have satisfaction . —Mr . Seeker- told her that if she had any complaint to make it should bo done in the proper way , and not with violence . She certainly did . not appear to be in a proper state to be liberated , ' consequently he should detain her until her friends came forward and became answerable for her future conduct . Guildhalls—Obstruction bv the Bishop or Exeter ' s Ejfiot . —A . respectably-dressed individual , named Joseph Carter , was charged " with causing an obstruction on the foot-way in Fleet-Street , by carrying an effigy of the Lord Bishop oi Exeter . —From the statements of Sergeant Price and Thomas Quarterman , two city officers , it-appeared that about half-past twelve o ' clock yesterday they met the prisoner with an effigy , large as life , fixedto apole about ei ght feet hi g h , and bearing in the front two wooden keys , on one of which was painted in large characters the words , " Free Trade . There was a crowd of about fifty persons

      following , and the prisoner was therefore requested to go out of the City . Ho refused , and was taken into custody , when some letters wore found on him ofa Chartist tendency . —Alderman Moon asked what the figure was intended to represent ? One of the officers said it was evidently intended to represent cither the Bishop of Exeter or the ltev . Mr . Shore ; but the prisoner would give no information on the subject . —Carter , in defence , said that he was a carpenter by trade , but declined telling his motives for such conduct , or what object he had in view . —Alderman Moon said that he must be perfectly aware that such a proceeding would create a crowd , and thereby render the operations of thieves more effective . He must nay for the offence ,

      whether done out of a frolic or for a worse purpose , and therefore he was fined twenty shillings , or Seven days' imprisonment . —The fine was paid . MANSION-HOUSE . —Wholesale Roebert bv a Clerk . —J . T . Hamilton , about ei g hteen years of a « e , was charged with having committed a Series of robberies . The prisoner had been received as a clerk into the warehouse of White and Co ., of Cheapside , Manchester warehousemen , about six months ago , inconsequence of an introduction of the hig hest respectability , and he absconded about a fortnight ago , after having not only robbed his employers , but defrauded a number of tradespeople , to whom he represented himself as the son of a nobleman and heir to wealth and distinction . —Mrs .

      Fairbridge , tho wife of the warehouseman of White and Co ., stated that on the 7 th of May the prisoner came to her at her own door , and asked her to oblige him with £ 4 or £ 5 till he should return from Watling-street , at dinner time , as he wished to pay a small account of £ & odd , in the counting-house below . He then put a piece of paper in her hand , purporting to be an order si gned by him on Messrs . Tilleard , and said that , as they were not bankers , Mr . James Clarke , the cashier ia the countinghouse , could not pay the cheque away with the other cash . Ho was , therefore , anxious to pay in the money at once , and requested the loan of the amount ofthe witness . To that request she acceded by handing him over £ 4 in sovereigns

      and-halfsovereigns , the property of her husband . Upon leaving the house he said he would return at ; two o ' clock , and he accordingly came back and said ' that he was going to a party that evening , but he called in order to pay her . He then asked her if she had change for a £ 10 note , and he held a pocket-book in his hand at the same time . She could not accommodate him , but told him that next day would *' 'do for the payment ofthe money . - Since that time she had not seen him until he was apprehended . —Mr . White , the principal in the houseof White and Co ., of Cheapsido and Watling-street , said ' : "The prisoner was my clerk , and had been with me since last October . About a month ago a robbery took place in the counting-house in Watling-street , one

      ofthe desks having Been broken open and p lundered of £ 5 . The prisoner was by no means suspected , but upon being taken into custody he confessed that he had broken open the desk and stolen the money , and he also admitted that he had supplied himself with cash by the most discreditable means . "— -Inspector Mitchell , of the City police fbrCe , Said tho prisoner , upon being taken into custody , intimated that he wished to see Mr . White , to whom he would disclose all the particulars of his extravagance , and the means by which he carried on the war . —Alderman Garden asked Mr . White whether the prisoner had made the disclosures upon any promise of mercy?—Mr . White : there was not the slightest

      promise made to him ; on the contrary , I told him to be cautious what he said , as it would be used against him . Having heard of his extravagance , I asked him how he contrived to get the money with which to support it . He said there was no use in keeping back the acknowledgment any longer , and he admitted the robbery in Watling-street ,. and other things . I have no doubt that I shall be able to bring forward some strong cases against him . The prisoner who held down his head during the examination , was then remanded . It was stated that the prisoner had ordered a carriage to be made for him , and had acted , ever since his connexion with Mr . White ' s house , with the most remarkable , duplicity .

      MARYLEBONE . —Assault by a Solicitor . —Mr . George John Keene , a solicitor ( who had been charged with having committed an assault of a very dangerous nature upon Mr . Henry Israel , clerk to Mr . Henry Humphrey , a solicitor ) , was brought up for re-examination . —A brief investigation of the case was entered into on Friday , the 18 th ult ., when the complainant , in consequence of tho serious wounds he had received , was unable to attend . — The evidence was to the effect that on Thursday , tho 17 th ult ., both complainant and defendant wore at the Star and Garter , in the Edgeware-road ; that some unpleasant words took place between them , and that subsequently they commenced fighting . After some blows were interchanged they both fell . On Keene getting up he saidhohadgotenough , and the parties then shook hands , and appeared . t » be reconciled ; but very-shortl y afterwards defendant seized an iron easpipe key , with which he

      struck complainant a blow on the left side of the head . Mr . Gaye , a neighbouring surgeon , on examining the wound , declared it to be of a . very serious nature ; it was two inches in length over the left frontal bone , and had completely laid bare the skull ,. —The complainant , whose head was strapped up with adhesive plaister , appeared very weak , and exceedingly agitated . His evidence corroborated the above statement , and it appeared that the quarrel between the parties arose out ofthe defendant calling the complainant " alow Jew scamp , iu reply to which the latter threw out some imputations upon the defendant and a very near relative . —Mr . Long said it was evidence that the case was one on which a magistrate could not adjudicate . He would , therefore , commit the defendant for trial , but would take bail himself in £ 500 , and two sureties in £ 250 each . —The sureties , were immediately entered into , and defendant will stand his trial at the Central Criminal Court for the offence .

      WORSHIP-STREET . — Attempt to Poison a Husband . —Eliza Schulenberger , a neatly-attired and rather good-looking young woman , was placed at the bar before Mr . Llanmii . il , charged with having administered repeated doses of poison to her husband , Philip Schulenberger , a master cabinetmaker in Austin-street , Bothnal-green , with intent to murder him . —The prosecutor , a middle-aged German , whose face and person presented a . very emaciated appearance , stated that he had been married about four years to the prisoner , by whom he had had one child , and with whom he had lived upon most affectionate terms until about two years since , when a marked alteration took place in her habits and demeanour , and she - commenced absenting herself

      from home at repeated intervals and entirely neglected her domestic duties . In spite , of his remonstrances she persisted in the same course of conduct until about six months ago , when his health , which had been previously good , became suddenly and seriously impaired , and he experienced the most excruciating internal pains , accompanied by frequent sickness and a scorching sensation in his throat and chest . These symptoms became gradually more aggravated , particularly after having partaken of the meals prepared by the prisoner , until at length the whole of his hair fell off his bead , and he was affected with constant nausea , whicli was followed by a repeated discharge of blood from the stomach , He had for a long time suspected that his illness

      had been occasioned by something of a deleterious character having been administered to him by his wife , who was in tho habit of constantly pouring out his tea before he sat down to table ; but about three weeks since , in order to satisfy his suspicions , he entered the room unexpectedly while she was preparing the meal , when she hastily removed the cup intended for his use to that part of the table where she was seated . Witness immediately examined the cup , and , finding that it contained some white powder , partially dissolved in a small quantity of tea , he applied part ofthe contents with ., the . tip of his finger to his tongue , on which it left a strong acid flavour , and produced the same sickening sensation that he had so often before experienced after

      his meals . On communicating this discovery to " the prisoner , and intimating his suspicions other conduct , she carelessly replied , that if he had found anything in the cup , it must have been placed there by the child ; but he told her that that was imnbssible , as he had seen her take the cup from a stielf , which the child could not reach , as it was only two years old . On the following morning , during the absence of the prisoner , he made a minute search in tho bedroom , and at length discovered , concealed between two boxes , a packet containing some white powder of the same appearance and taste as that he had found in the tea cup . The prisoner shortl y after returned , and upon showing her the powder , and inquiring what it was , she said that it was onlv

      salts of prunella , and urged him to throw it in the fire . He retained possession of it , however , until the following aay , when he proceeded with it , accompanied by Bis brother , to the residence of Mr . Ryan , a physician and operative chemist , who pronounced upon examination that it was almost entirely composed of arsenic . Upon returning home with his brother , the latter upbraided the prisoner with her flagrant conduct in attempting to poison her husband , to which she made no reply at the time ; but as soon as his brother had left she became greatly agitated and said , "You are not dead yet , although it ia true I have given you poison , and God forgive me for ii . * On

      tne same evening her father called to visit them , and the moment he entered the room the prisoner hastened towards him and exclaimed , " They ' ve found me out , ' and got it all clear against me ; for God s sake take me under your protection . " Witness then apprised her father of her conduct towards him , intimating the discovery ho had made that she had been a longtime poisoning him by degrees , and that he was at that moment in such a state of torture that he was scarcely able either to speak or stand , but the father expressed his incredulity and conveyed her away to his own residence ; Witness and his brother then proceeded to make a general search , and at the back ' of a drawer used bv the pri-

      soner in the bedroom they found a quant ity of loose uowderof the same description , a further portion If which had apparently been made with some oat-Jell with whicli his gruel was generally mixed , and which was kept ina crockery image upon the mantelpiece . These , together with a pack t of dark-coloured powder , discovered u pon a slielt _ m the kitchen , had also been since submitted to Di Ryan for analysation . The prosecutor added , that at the commencement of his illness , when he complained to her of the dreadful pain lie was suffering , the prisoner , without expressing the slightest sympath y , told him that all the hair would fall off his head , and that he would be sure to die . After . «« , « further evidence was produced confirming the

      prosecutor ' s statement , Mr . Vann ( who attended on behalf of tho accused , ) said , that as the case was one which must necessarily undergo a further investigation , ho would reserve her defence for a future Occasion ; and the prisoner , who had her child in her arms , and exhibited an entire absence of emotion throughout tho examination , was ordered to he remanded for the completion ofthe evidence . LAMBETH . —Fatal Pastime . —Two men named Somerton and Knightley , labourers ,, were placed at the bar on a charge of having caused the death of William Nutt , also a labouring man . —Police-constable Ratcliff deposed that , having been informed on the preceding evening that William Nutt had died in Guy s Hospital , in consequence of an injury he

      received on Sunday evening , he apprehended tne prisoner Somerton . Knig htley came to the stationhouse and delivered himself up , saying he was willing to abide any charge that might be preferred against him . From information which Ratcliff had since obtained it appeared that on Sunday evening last the prisoners , the deceased , and others were playing at " leap-frog , " in Edward-street , Camberwell . In the course of the game , the prisoner Knightley pushed the deceased , and the latter fell over Somerton , who was in a stooping ; position at the time . The deceased fell upon his head , and raising himself from the ground , he exclaimed , " For God ' s sake , go aud fetch me a doctor , I am dyin-r , " Those around him thought he was merely

      seized with fits , which he had been subject to ; but observing that he . was not able to move , they carried him to Guy ' s Hospital , where , upon examination , it was found that he bad received a severe injuryvOf the spine . He died about noon on Monday . Ratcliff added that there did not appear to have been ' any bad feeling or animosity existing between tho parties , and the unfortunate affair , from all he could learn , had occurred without any intention to injure . —The prisoners said the statement of the omcer was perfectly correct , and they were truly sorry for what had happened . —They were remanded tothe following day , to know the result of tho coroner s inquiry . A Wholesale Burglar . —A notorious burglar ,

      who gave the name of John Jones , was placed at the bar on suspicion with being concerned in the commission ofa number of burglaries and robberies . —Pelice-constablo Frederick Bowerman deposed , that on that morning between the hours of one and two o ' clock , he saw the prisoner come over a hedge from some premises in Sydney-place , south Lambeth , and suspecting all was not right , he asked him where he came from . The prisoner replied from the Elephant and Castle , and witness knowing this to be false , secured him and took him to the station-house . He there searched him , and found in his pockets a set of housohveaking implements , a box of lucifer matches , and other things . —Inspector Coleman informed the magistrate that , on Sunday

      night last , two burglaries had been committed in South Lambeth , and- property to a considerable amount stolen ; and he had little doubt , from an entry having been obtained to each of the houses plundered by means of a centre-bit , that both the robberies had been effected by the prisoner or his associates . —Inspector Campbell stated , that within the last few weeks innumerable burglaries and robheries had been committed at Camberwcll , Peckham , and their vicinity , and he ( Mr . Campbell ) had no doubt whatever , both from the fact of the prisoner having been observed lurking about those places , and the robberies having in all cases been effected by means of a centre-bit , that every one of them had been committed by the prisoner and his confederates . Mr . Campbell added , that one night four houses in succession were attempted to be broken into , but without success . All the houses in the row bore on their doors and shutters the

      marks of tho centre-bit , and at one in particular a desperate effort appeared to have been made by the burglars to effect an entrance , but this was prevented by the doors and shutters being lined with sheet iron . —Samuel Wright , a constable belonging to the P division , here said that about three weeks ago he took the prisoner and another person into custody at Pechham , having found them lurking about and taking particular notice of the avenues and passages leading to several gentlemen ' s houses . On that occasion , when placed at the bar where he now stood , he gave the name of Foster , and said he worked in the docks ; and no house-breaking implements having been found on him , he was discharged . —Another constable deposed to having been present when the prisoner was tried for felony , and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment . —The prisoner was remanded for a week . BOW-STREET . —Infanticioe . —Catherine

      Henessey , a servant girl , about eighteen years of age , was charged before Mr . Henry with having concealed the birth of a male illegitimate child . The prisoner it appeared , having been dismissed from service about a month ago , went to reside with her father , at 3 , King-street , Drury-lane . A few days after she applied for relief to a neighbour , a Mrs . Cain , living at No , 2 in the same street , stating that her father had turned her out of doors and left her perfectly destitute . Mrs . Cain received her into the house , but soon accused her of being in the family way—an imputation which she invariabl y denied with some show of indignation . She seemed occasionally to suffer severely from indisposition ,

      ana on rue morning in question was up as eany as three o clock . Both Mrs . Cain and a Mrs . Taylor , another inmate of the house , observing that she repeatedly visited tho water-closet , and remained there apparently in great agony , charged her with being in labour , and begged her to allow thorn to send for medical assistance , as it would be fatal to her to be unprepared for such an event ; but she still persisted in her former denial of the accusation , and attributed her illness to another cause . She afterwards told them that , as her father went out to his work usually at four o clock in the morning , she should go into the next house and lie down for a little while upon his bed , and she then left for that purpose . After a short interval they found

      her there in a state of exhaustion , looking extremely pale and thin , and the latter circumstance induced them to suspect that she had delivered herself of a child . She was implored to tell the truth , but she still declared that no more was the matter with her than with them . The women , however , were not satisfied with the statement , and said they should send for the parish doctor , upon which she expressed her willingness to he examined by him . They then procured the attendance of Mr , W . Bennett , the surgeon of St . Giles ' s , and the result of his examination confirmed their suspicions , upon which the prisoner was removed to the workhouse . Here she ultimately confessed , both to the surgeon and to the matron , that something had happened to

      her while she was sitting on the watercloset at No . 3 , ( her father ' s lodgings ) , but she believed it to be prematurc . —Bushfiold , a constable ofthe F division , deposed that he had examined the cesspool referred to , and found a full-grown child imbedded in the soil . —Mr . Bennett , the surgeon , proved that the child had gone its full time . vThere were no marks of violence upon it . It was a male infant . —The prisoner , after being cautioned in the usual form , stated that her father accused her of being with child , and desired her to go and see a ; doctor , but she went to Mrs . Cain ' s instead . They suspected her also , but she did not like to confess the truth ,

      for fear they should treat her as her mistress had done . She was first accused of it by her mistress , Mrs . Brandon , in the Strand , and Dr . Harrison , the family physician , was directed to examine her . The doctor reported that she was advanced in prcgnacy , and Mrs . Brand « n said that if she would confess everything , she would do something for her perhaps . She ( the prisoner ) then told her all that had happened , from beginning to end , but instead of assisting her , her mistress ordered her to leave the house directly . This was why she had been afraid to confess her misfortune to her sister or to Mrs . Cain . —Mr . Henry committed her for trial .

      Obstructing the Police . —Two men , named Rnsh and Wacey , the former coachman , and tho latter footman , to Mr , Maple , were charged before Mr . Hall with being drunk and disorderly , and with assaulting the police in the execution of their duty . —Inspector Wilkinson , of the F division , stated that the prisoners after having last ni ght set down the ladies who composed their party at the Royal Italian Opera House , took up a place with tho carriage directly in front of the station-house in Bow-street , they were told that they could hot be allowed to stand there , but must go on tothe rank of private carriages in Great Russell-street . The coachman Rush was about to drive thither but Waoey interfered and abused the policeman who had spoken to him , and ultimately struck both

      the constable and the ingpector . He was taken into the station-house , but there his conduct was more violent . He jumped over the railings of the dock where fee was placed , * ad made a violent attack upon the policemen on dut y . It . ultimately required aix constables to remove him to the cell , in the meantime , the inspector observed . that Rush £ ™ H ?^ V qukt ou * , ' ^ 8 ± oo drunk So take care of the horses and had him taken into ^ he stat ion-house , j herehealso beeame very mlent—Mv Hall said that offences of this kind aowngafc ihe sem-n s of gentlemen visiting the theatre ! wSe fSS , n ? ry fi nt and magistrates ^ nffi , f ^ t 0 tJ w "solution of punishing t £ SfP ^ T * ^ - imP » sonment , wifchouli g iving jthflni the option of a fine .

He would fine Rush 5 s . for being drunk , and 20 g . for his violence in the station-house , Wacey 40 s . for his assault on the police , and 20 s ., under the Police Act , for being drunk when in attendance on his carriage at tho theatre . _

      ITALY . The defeat ofthe Neapolitans , on the 19 th ult ., at Velletri , is confirmed . The Minister of War and Marine of Rome , Joseph Ave 2 zana , publishes two bulletins signed by Rosselli , Commander-in-Chief of the Roman troops sent against the Neapolitans : the first , dated from head quarters under Velletri . at one o ' clock after midnight on the 20 th , stating that the Neapolitans , 6 , 000 in number , sallied from Velletri on the 19 th , and attacked the Roman vanguard

      under Garibaldi , but were repulsed with the loss of thirty prisoners and many dead and wounded ; the main body coming up under General Rosselli ) then attacked Velleiri , and the fire lasted till dark . The second bulletin is dated from Velletri itself , at halfpast nine a . m . of the 21 st , and announces that , the advanced dttachnients , sent forward to reconnoitre , discovered that the town had been evacuated during the ni g ht by the Neapolitans . The Romans were in the act of entering it at the time stated by the bullstin .

      AUSTRIA , HUNGARY , AND RUSSIA . The report of the capture of Buda by the Magyars is fully confirmed . A letter from Warsaw says : — " The German journals have informed you of the movement of Russian troops , which have crossed the Polish frontier with a view to the occupation of the ancient kingdom , of Poland . The following is , as nearly . ' as possible , the , exact position of the Russian army : — "The 3 rd and 4 th divisions , under the orders of Generals Rudiger and Geodarief , have alone as yet been called to act in Hungary , forming together an army of about 100 , 000 men , of which 20 , 000 will be stationed in Gsdicia , to prevent any attempt of the Hungarians upon that province . Another division of 20 , 000 men , under the orders of General Freytag , will remain at Bukowine . Tbe 5 th division will occupy Moldavia and Wallachia .

      ** The 1 st and 2 nd divisions , consisting of Grenadiers , will remain in the kingdom of Poland . This army is 120 , 000 strong . The 3 rd division ( Grenadieis ) will remain in Lithuania . A reserve division of cavalry will guard the frontier of Podalia . The sixth division of the army has left Moscow , and is advancing On Brzesi , constituting the reserve ofthe army of Poland . Prince Paskewitch will take the chief command of the operations against the Hungarians . The Imperial Guards , who had been ordered to march , have , it is said , received counter-Orders to remain at St . Petersburg !! , The guards are said not to like the Russian intervention in

      Hungary . " The plan of the Hungarians is said to be to retire before the Russians and Austrians , as they did before Wiridischgratz in the mouth of January , giving up all the towns and fortresses between the Danube and the Theiss , with the exception , of Oomorn , and thus to draw the Russians and Austrians into the old Magyar fighting ground , the morasses of Upper Hungary , where fever and ague will do their work among the unseasoned troops of Russia and Austria in summer , as cold and wet did their work in winter .

      TERRIBLE DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANSGLORIOUS VICTORY OP THE HUNGARIANS . The Augsburg Gazette has the following from Posen of the 20 th : —" The advanced guard of the Russians has been unexpectedly attacked , and destroyed by a division under Dembinski , near Jordanow , In Galicla , not far from the frontier of Hungary . 2 , 000 Russians were left on the fielJ of battle , and twenty cannon fell into the hands of the victors . It is said that the Hungarians hate possessed themselves of Lerabew , but this requires cmfirmation . It is certain , however , that Dembinski wishes to pass into Poland by Galicia , and , on that account , a Russian force of 45 , 000 men has occupied the camp of Kalisch , and is to remain on the frontier .

Nothing is yet positive about the formation of General Bugeaud ' s ministry . Great efforts arc being made to join with him both Odillon Barrot and Dufaure ; no agreement , however , has been as yet come to .

      The debate in the National Assembly to-day wandered very much from its ori g inal purpose—namely , an inquiry into the conduct ot General Changarnicr . M . Ledru-Rollin , in supporting his demand for a committee of inquiry , made use ef strong language in reference to the President of the Republic , and was replied to with great warmth by the President of the Council . The Minister of Public Instruction also spoke at some length , defending the government from the insinuations of its having had a coupde-mam in contemplation . The discussion was adjourned .

      ROMAN STATES . The Veloee , which reached Marseilles on the 22 nd inst ., brought from Civita Vccchia M .

      Fatal Accident to a Son of the Dean op Si « Asaph . —Yesterday a jury was empanueled at FuJ bourne , a village about five miles from Cambridge before Mr . Marshall , deputy coroner for tho county ' on view of the body of John Nichol Luxmoore , a student of St . John ' s College , Cambridge , and a son of the Dean of St . Asaph , who met his death under the following circumstances : —The deceased and a fellow student started the evening before for a ride , and proceeded in the direction of Abington . At Babraham they turned off , and again on reacky ing the old Roman road leading to Cambridge Here Mr . Luxmoorc ' s companion ( Mr . Stuart , ef Trinity ) proposed a race , and the horses were nn y-

      into a gallop . Mr . Stuart took the lead , and after proceeding a short distance missed tho sounds of his friend ' s horse . He looked round , and saw Mr . Luxmoore lying on his back on tho ground . He returned to his aid , and found him unconscious . Mr . Stuart then summoned help , and on its arrival went for medical assistance , but the unfortunate young gentleman died within a few minutes of Mr . Stewart ' s departure on his last mission . Evidence was adduced to show that the road , at the spot where the race \ began , was smooth and safe , but that it became dangerous as it proceeded ; and waa full of ruts where the accident occurred ; into one

      of these the horse doubtless stepped ar . d fell , and Mr . Luxmoore was thrown upon his head . The deceased was about 18 years of ago . He had been to College chapol just before starting on the fatal excursion , and was reputed a very exemplary young man . He was in delicate health , and his friends wishing him to take horse , exercise had sent him a : horse up to Cambridge to enable him to do so . The * jury returned a verdict " That deceased came by nis death through an accidental fall from hift horse . " It was stated at tho inquest that the unfortunate gentleman ' s father is on tho continent .
