      . ^ t > „^„ BOUSE OF COMMONS . —Lord Jons Rcbsell aave notice that he should this day move thatthe House go into committee for the purpose ofcon-< iderm # a resolution proposing to grant a' sum of money out , of the consoUdated fund with the view of enabling landholders in Ireland to improve their estates , and also to defray the cost of arterial and other drainage , for the improvement of landed properties in tlstrcountry . . ' - ¦ Marriage Bri . —The order of the day for the second reading of the Marriage Bill , having been

      Mr Got-lb * -rs rose and ¦ moved that the bill be reads , second time that day six months . In submittal that mot-on , the riglt kon . gentleman said le had impeseda painful taskupon himself , opposed as ho found himself on a question of religious obligations to many persons for whom he had the iignest respect , andnot the less because he was opposed to the mover ofthe measure . The question was one which parliament could scarcely deal with in asaiisfectorv manner , being a religious one , and nctcalculatedfor discussion in apopular assembly . The-whole question of tee law of marriage was involved in the present debate ; for though it was true thai his right hon . friend had limited the object of namelytho

      Msbilltotwo particular cases , , marriage of a deceased wife ' s sister or niece , yet it was impossible to limit the future effects ofthe bill if it should be passed into a law . ' _ A long discussion then took place between Mr . Hao-jem , Mr . Ker Seymer , Mr . R . Palmer , who opposed the measure , and Mr . M . MiLSES , Lord Bkachlet , Earl of Abuxdel and Surrey , and Mr . CocKBURN , who supported it , when tho debate was adjourned to Friday . , - Committee os Savings Basks . — The adj ourned debate on the nonunation of the committee on savhu's banks was then resumed , and after some discussion on the name of Mr . Grogan being put , that of Sir George Clerk was proposed instead , on which ouestion the House divided , when there .

      appeared for Sir G . Clerk 123 , for Mr . Grogan 81—jnajoritv , 42 . The next name was that of Mr . G . A . Hamilton , when that of Mr . Hemes wasi proposed in lieu thereof ; the House again dividing , when there appeared for Mr . Hemes 120 , for Mr . Hamilton 61—majority , 59 . - . Mr . TtExxoms said , after these divisions he should not take the sense of the House on the remaining names , but felt that his constituents bad a-ust right to complain . As the committee would now he not his , but that of the Chancellor of the Exchequer , the eves of the House and the country ¦ would be more steadily fixed upon it . The remaining names of gentlemen who were on the comjmttee of last vear were then agreed to j -when vlltjsome further business the House adjourned .

      ( From our Third Edition of last week . ) FRIDAY , Aran . 27 . HOUSE OF LORDS . — War is Sight . — Lord Beaumont asked when the long-promised Sicilian correspondence would be laid before the House . He also wished to know if the government had received any official information as to the atrocities which had attended the recent capture of Catania . The Marquis of Laxsdowxe replied that the correspondence would he laid on the table as soon as the labour and difficulty of sorting such an immense mass of papers had been overcome . He had seen despatches from Admiral Parker confirmmg the accounts which had been published respecting the sack of "Catania .

      Lord Staseet complained that the Noble Marquis made precisely the same answer ten days go . "With regard to the atrocities committed at Catania , similar scenes occurred in all wars , more especially in civil wars , where the passions of the contending parties were exasperated . While talking of atrocities he might observe that a more meagre report was never furnished than that sent in by the British Consul at Messina , and he trusted that , after the experience -which the House had derived from the first set of atrocity papers , the noble Marquis was not about to favour them with a second batch . The Earl of Aberdeen agreed in thinking the answer of the Marquis ofLansdowne most unsatisfactory , though it doubtless required the exercise of some dexterity to manufacture the correspondence demanded by the House . Lord Eddishurt indignantly denied the insinuation contained in the observations of Lord

      Aberdeen . After some further discussion , in which Lord Brougham and Lord Misto took part , Lord Beaumont said that he would move for some additional papers respecting the Sicilian question . The morion was agreed to , and the matter drop-3 ? ed . Their lordships then adjourned . HOUSE OP COMMOXS . —METROPOLirAX Po lice . —lord Dudley Stuart wished to know whether the necessity which had been alleged to exist for keeping up the police rate hi the Metropolitan districts at its present amount still continued , parties having been led to believe a portion of this -opjressive burden would be removed .

      : £ ir George Giiev replied that when the police rate was first put on in the Metropolis it was eightpence in the pound , and was afterwards reduced , to sixpence , the government making up the difference by a contribution of £ 90 , 000 from the Consolidated Fund . Last year in consequence of * : a new assessment of Middlesex producing sixpence in the pound upon a much larger assessment than before , it had been hoped it might be reduced to Svepeace , but circumstances which immediately afterwards occurred had manifested , he thought , to all parties the necessity of extending the police force , nor did he see the probability that this force could be again reduced . It must be remembered also , that no fewer than 200 zniles , of streets had been added to the Metropolis .

      and hence the necessity of a larger force for their jarotection . A more equalassessment of the Metro polis , highly desirable no doubt , would produce a Jaiger . revenue from this source , a portion of which woald . go . in diminution ofthe xate ; but a portion mast ahsoCso towards lessening the amount now contribnted . by the Consolidated Fund . . TfiEltamiAWS ( IreiiAsd ) Eate in Aid Bill . — The House went into committee upon this bill , npon . the first-clause a discussian of some length took nlace , which was not confined to the details of the bill , ' hut ^ embraced the poliej and principle of the measure . * Ehc amendment ^ psoposed by Gapt , Jones , in the body of the clause , -Rag negalived . on adivisiflii ,. by 81-. to 28 .

      Mr . Fjlgas moved a proviso at ' the end of the clause to-entitle yearly tenants ' or lessees forcertain term ? , . or " subjsct to "certain contingencies , to deduct the-whole rate from their rent . After a long defers ? , first upon a jpoint of form , and then upon the merits of the proviso , it was negatived oh * division by 101 to 13 . Colonel Brvxe moved an amendmest in the . seiCond clause ^ -which enact ed that the jguardians of « each union shall provide for the sum jeviable on each electoral division *«& the rate to fee made on each electoral division "— : to insert the words "by a separate rate to be made immediately subsequent

      to suchrate . \ A ^ fter another long discursive debate , seasoned witk . a few perscaal' allusion ^ , the amendment was negatived on a disjsion by 115 . to 35 . Upaa the third clause Mr .

      Thames.-—Bbotai." Assault.—Thomas Flemin...

      THAMES .- —Bbotai . " Assault . —Thomas Fleming , a tall Irishman , a boiler-maker , was brought before Mr . Tardley , charged with an asiault and biting a woman named Eliza Brown , who , it was stated in the early part of the day , was . in the London Hos-E ital in a state of great suffering , and the prisoner ad consequently ueen remanded till five o'clock , The complainant then appeared with her arm bound up , and said she had cohabited with the . prisoner ten years , and . that he had lately commenced ill using , her . On Saturday night he came home very much intoxicated , and after he had abused her lay down oh his bed , and when he was apparently asleep

      she prepared to go to bed , and was just about to lie . down by his side when he suddenly made a bite at her throat , and she screamed out "Murder , " being in great agony . She put her right arm u p to save her neck , and force his teeth from her neck , when he seized her arm with . his . teeth and bit . a piece ri g ht out of it . He then said that he would " finish her before morning . She got from' him and ran out of the house . The poor woman added that her " husband" was apt in his right senses when intoxicated . —The Foreman of tho works the . prisoner is employed at , said , the prisoner was . a good workman and very industrious , but most outrageous when in liquor . —Mr . Yardley : Is it a fact that the prisoner has bitten a piece of flesh out of

      the complainant ' s arm?—Guhgan , police-constable 185 B , said it was so ; and the people in the hospital declared the bite was more like that of a horse than a human being . —The complainant bared her arm : it was in a frightful state , a large piece of flesh having been torn from it . —The prisoner said he was very sorry for what had been done , and hoped the magistrate would overlook it—Mr . Yardley said he could not , the assault being a most savage one , and most abhorrent to human . nature . He did not know that he was quite right in disposing of the case summarily , but at all events he should convict in the full penalty Of £ 0 , and in default of payment commit the prisonei \ to the House of Correction for two months .

      LAMBETH . —The Rev . John George Hounsfield , chaplain to the Earl of Airlie , and who stands fully committed to take his trial at the ensuing sessions of the Central Criminal . Court , on a charge of obtaining £ 200 from Mr . Masters , a meat salesman , by false representations , was brought from Horsemonger-lane Gaol for the purpose of putting in the required sureties to appear and take his trial—Mr . Jfewton , the barrister , appeared on behalf of the prisoner , and tendered as bail for his reverend client Sir Robert Price , of 11 , Strettou-street , Piccadilly , and of Foxley , Herefordshire ( one of the magistrates for that county and M . P . for Hereford city ) , and Mr . Henry Dick Wopdfall . ' of 14 , Groat Dean ' syard , "Westminster , printer . —A clerk to the solicitor

      for the prosecution said that tho names of the parties tendering themselves as bail for the prisoner had not been g iven in until a late hour on Saturday evening , and the time for inquiry was therefore so short that the understanding was that the gentlemen should not present themselves before his worship before four o ' clock—Mr . Norton said , he was perfectly satisfied with the solvency and respectability of the gentlemen offering themselves as bail , and then * sureties having been taken in £ 100 each , and the prisoner ' s in £ 200 , the latter was discharged from custody . CLERKENWELL . —Late Robbert at Sr . Pancras Testrv Room . —William Jackson , a portly looking man , six feet hi g h , was brought before Mr . Combe , charged at the instance of the board of directors of St . Pancras parish , with having committed a burglary in St . Pancras Workhouse ,. and stealing twenty sovereigns and £ 155 in silver . The prisoner , who had been a patient in Guy ' s Hospital , with a ,

      broken leg , ever since February last , was brought to the court in a cabriolet , and was supported into the presence ofthe bench by . the officers with the aid of a pair of crutches , and his foot in a sling suspended from his shoulders . He appeared to suffer great pain , looked very pale , and was allowed a Seat in a chair near the space allotted for solicitors . Mr . Howarth , the barrister , attended on the part of the parish to conduct the prosecution . —Mr . Combe askccl the prisoner if his health , was sufficiently strong and restored to have , the case proceeded with ?—The prisoner replied in the affirmative , but he would prefer a postponement as he expected Mr . Huddlestone , the barrister , whom he had retained to attend for him . After some desultory conversation it was resolved to take the necessary evidence to warrant the remand of the prisoner , when Mr . Howarth stated the case for the prosecution , which was a reiteration of circumstances which have

      already appeared before the public . It may be recollected that on the night of the 8 th of February the strong-room in the workhouse where the property had been deposited was broken into ,- and twenty sovereigns and £ 155 in silver were stolen ; and on the same night the prisoner was found within some area railings near the workhouse wall , where his cries for help brought assistance , and he was conveyed in a cahriolet to Guy ' s Hospital , Borough . On the following morning the robbery was discovered , some housebreaking implements were found in the washhouse , and near the spot where the prisoner made the alarm were found some skeleton keys , a large pair of list shoes , such as are used by housebreakers , and a dark lantern , « L'C

      There was little doubt that the prisoner was the perpetrator of the robbery , and having afterwards dropped from the workhouse wall fell within the railings and met with the accident to his leg , which was of a very severe description - ; but there was so much mystery about the case that for sometime a few of the parish functionaries were suspected , until a reward was offered for the discovery ofthe cabman who drove the prisoner on the night ofthe robbery , and ofthe person who was attracted by the prisoner ' s cries and who assisted him over the railings into the cab . They were at lerigth traced , and on the prisoner being visited by the officers he was identified as a returned transport . —Mr . Henry M'Gahey was called , and deposed that he is

      son of the vestry clerk of St . Pancras . On the night ofthe 8 th of February last he deposited £ 155 in silver and twenty sovereigns in a box in a drawer in the strong-room . On the following morning the cashbox was found empty on the floor , having been forced open , and the property was missing . —Mr . -Joseph Lye , compositor , ofthe Metropolitan-buildings , St . Pancras-road , deposed , that at about twelve o'clock on the night of the 8 th of February last be was passing near St . Pancras Workhouse when he heard cries for help , and discovered the prisoner within some iron railings leaning with his back against the wall . He begged of witness to help him over the railings .. Witness asked him , * * What was the matter ? " and helped him over . He said

      that a man had thrown his hat over the railings , and on-clambering over to get it again he fell , and had broken his leg . Witness said , " I had better ring the Workhouse hell , and obtain assistance . " He objected to that , and begged of witness not to do so . He said he had no business at that end of the town ; he had been drinking with some friends , and Wished to avoid exposure , and would thank witness if he would put him into a cab . With great difficulty he did so , and he was driven away . —Mr . Howarth : How high worothe railings ?—Witness s Jour or five feet high . —Mr . Combe : Had the f risoner the appearance of being drunk ? Witness : He had the appearance of having been drinking a little , but he was not drunk . He was eseeedingly agitated and excited . —Mr . Benjamin Lamberd , of iGray ' s-inn-road , one of the board of diseetorsof St . Pancras parishhad accompanied

      , the-directors to the strong-room on the morning of the-jobbery , and found a crowbar and screwdriver « fcc M { now produced . ) The place had been broken into . —James Hale , an inmate pauper of the workhouse , was called , biit was too drunk to be examined , and was ordered to stand down . —Jereiaiah Lockerby , 180 S , being called , said , he had every reason to believe that he should be enabled , toiproduceisufieient evidence to substantiate the charge 9 -Tr ° « S ain 8 t the prisoner if he was remanded . --Mr . Combe asked the prisoner where he lived ? - ^ - Prisoner replied , at Shirley , on the Romsey-rbad , Southampton . —Mr . Combe said , he would remand him , as he was anxious to have his legal advocate present , who , it was said by , Mr . Howarth , was un ~ avoidably absent : He then remanded the prisoner , with instructions that all the necessary evidenceshould be brought forward at the next aud final

      examination . .. ; . SOUTH WARE . —Obiaiku-o Mosetbt Fame Pre-TENca- . — William Leigh , and Augustus Crossly , alias Cowellj were brought before Mr .

Roberts ) having contended thatitwas not sufficiently strong to come within , the : meaning of the aet , the magistrate expressed hia , intention to send the cases for further investigation before another tribunal ; and . in doing so , remarked that under the circumstances , as itwas a bailable offence , he should adjudge the ; prisoners to enter ; into their own recognisances in £ 40 each , and two suretics . pf £ 20 . to answer the charges at the next sessions .

      , BOW-STREET . —Charge of Go . vspiBAcr to Obtain Mosey prom a Clergtmaj ? . —Patrick Hay and John Alves were brought ; before Mr . Jardincfor final examination , charged with conspiring to defraud the Rev . Cornelius Griffin , vicar of llaselor , near Stratford-upon-Avon , of money and securities , - under pretence of procuring for him a chaplaincy to the Queen . It appeared at the last examination that the prosecutor having seen an advertisement in the morning journals respecting a clerical preferment , wrote to No . 2 , Cannon-row , Westminster , where letters were to be addressed upon the subject , and after severalhadbeen received by him he cairie to town , and saw the prisoner Hay , who represented that he was related to Lord John Hay , who had the

      power of nominating to the appointment , the . salary of which . would be-about £ 60 a year . ;!; After submitting , his testimonials to the prisoner , a promise was made that they should be laid , before his lordship , and if sufficient money ( £ 600 ) was riot at . command , securities would , toswev . the purposo , ^ heresult of . which was that the prosecutor gave an order for £ 100 ,, with securities fortheremainder ; : upon promise that the appointment should be gazetted in afew days , previous . to . which tho . prisoner demanded £ 23 10 s . as fees , which he obtained , and the prosecutor seeingthat he was duped ^ gave information to the magistrate , which caused the detention of the prisoner , who was in custody on another charge . —Mr . John Holroyd , secretary to the United

      Kingdom Assurance Company , proved- that about three years back , seeing ; an [ advertisement in the morning , papers from a person who could procure a secretaryship for a consideration ; after receiving a reply , cameup from Yorkshire , and wentto 127 , Leadenhall-street , which was the place referred to , and which was called the " Calcutta Gas Light and Waterworks Company ' s offices , " where he saw Hay , who signed himself P . H . Newall and after some conversation he paid a deposit of £ 25 for the situation in question . The other , prisoner was frequently at the office inquiring for Hay , and . left letters for . him He had also frequently seen them together in the streets , and gave his services gratuitously in the office for twelvemonths , but he never could obtain

      any salary or his money , although they had often been promised to bun . . He had an interview with Alves , as Hay's friend , upon the subject , and ultimately brought an action for . the recovery of his money . On Qross-examination . by Mr . Lewis , he said he had over and over again signed his name to documents as . the secretary , and consulted Captain Denny as to the stability of . the company "; but there was no meeting of directors , nor . did he ever see one at the office . —Sarah Gale , a servant , proved that slie was employed by Mr . Duke , the proprietor of No . 2 , Cannon-row , to clean the rooms , which were taken by a Mr . Wilmott , who , however , disappeared after a few days . The prisoners then occupied the apartments , which were fitted up as public offices .

      She constantly saw the prisoner Alves , who went by the name of Nevill . The prisoner Hay , who assumed the name of John Matthews , delivered her a paper on which were written the names of Hay , Piper , and Nevill , respecting the California Gold-office , directing she would take in all letters directed to those persons . The sign of the California Schemeoffice had been removed from the first floor about three weeks back ; and that of the Crown Colonial Emigration-office substituted . After Wilmott went away his son came there ,, and letters directed to Mr . Matthews were opened by Hay , she not knowing at the time that such was not' his name . — Lord John Hay being sworn , said , I nevcr-saw the prisoner Hay before , nor had I any communication

      with him of any person of that name respecting the chaplaincy promised to the prosecutor . I need scarcely add that ho is not in any way connected withme or my family . —Mr . Griffin being recalled , said that the envelopes of the letters he had received from Hay were impressed with the seal of the Adjutant-General ' s office , with the royal arms . —Sergeant Thompson produced a sear which was recently stolen from the Adjutant-General ' s office , which he found at 12 , Howly-street , and which Hay said he had had' in ; his possession for the last ten years . The officer also produced letters and documents relating to several speculative companies—The Suburban Parcels Delivery Company , the City and West-end Railway and

      Terrace Corivpany , the Great Western Railway of Bengal , the British Coasting Trade Company for the tection of and increasmg the coasting mercantile marine , the' California Emigration Scheme , the General Canal Haulage Company , the Madras , Arcot , and Trichriopoly Railway , and the Calcutta Diamond Harbour and George ' s-point Company . —Mr . Jar > dine , after perusing the documents , said they would afford the offieer matter for further investigation , although they threw no additional light upon the charge before him . His worship theri ordered the prisoners to be fully committed for . the conspiracy , and the prisoner Hay to he detained for obtaining morieyand securities under false . pretences . —The prisoners were then severally ordered to find bail in

      the sum of £ 500 , and two sureties in' £ 250 each , to answer the charge at the Central Criminal Court . ' MARLBOROUGH-STREET . — Alleged sham Burial Society , —A widow , named Daniells and her daughter , applied to Mr . Bingham under these circumstances : —For ten years her late husband had subscribed to a burial society , and had fully paid up his subscriptions . When her husband died she sent to the secretary , and aperson came and measured the body for a coffin , but nothing more was done . Four days after this she received a letter from the person acting as secretary , telling her to' bury the body at her own expense . Some weeks after this she applied to the secretary for the money due on the death of a member . She was ; unable to get a

      farthing , and was put off with evasive answers . On making inquiry into the character of this so-called burial society , she was informed that it was entirely managed by one person , and that it was more than doubtful whether she and others similarly circumstanced , would ever get a shilling . . She how wished to know if she could have a summons against the secretary , to compel him to show cause why '' he rer fused to pay the money , and to prove that the society was respectable . —Mr . Bingham , having looked over the hook of rules and regulations , said he was not empowered to inquire into the character of the Burial Society . In the book he found a rule , which required that all disputes should be settled by arbitration . He advised the applicant to call on the

      secretary to appoint an arbitrator . ' If this was not done , than he would issue a summons . '• ' - Sham Lting-i . \ Institution . — James Locke , senior , and his three sons , Edwin , James , and George Curtis , were brought up for further examination , charged with having conspired together with intent to defraud certain parties of sums of money by falsely pretending to apply the money towards the support of a Charitable institution , for affording medical assistance to . married females at the period of their confinement . —We . gave the leading facts of this case last week ., Several witnesses were now produced to' prove the payment of inoney to the prisoner , on behalf of this fictitious institution . —Inspector Leslie said . the house was very

      meanly furnished . In the room used as an office there was a table and half a dozen' chairs .. There were no surgical instruments or appliances ; There was nothing to indicate that a lying-in institution was held there . Witness found a book containing subscriptions to the linonfund , " with her Royal Highness ' the Duchess of Kent to it as a subscriber . ;¦ Witness also found a letter from her Royal Highness ' s secretary , Mr / fjpwper , commanding her Royal Highness ' s name to be withdrawn , from the prospectuses of the Royal Belgrave Lying-in Institution . The lettteir . was dated 1843 . witness had obtained-proof thatthe prospectuses had . been printed within the last' two months , all of which bore her Royal Hignes & es ' s name as patroness . —Mr . Hardwicke asked the elder Locke if he wished

      to , say anything ni answer to the charge ?—The prisoner ( Locke serr >) said ; he had hot seen his solicitor since Saturday last , and then he had been , advised to reserve his defence . ' Since then he had been informed by his daughter that she had received a letter , from the Earl of Carlisle , stating that he had given full permission for his hahie tone used as a patron of the institution .

      Her Royal Highness had given £ 10 towards the linen fund , and the midwives would prove that boxes of linen were provided for tho Woifteh whon confined . Having paid this £ 16 Her Royal Highness became a life subscriber , and being entitled to six letters , Her lloyal Highness ' s name was kept on the subscribers' list . He considered it was a very bard case . Ho had devoted seventeen years of his time cud energies to the institution , without proper remuneration . ' A salary had been proposed hy the committee , arid lie had received an allowance of £ 100 a-year , ' which did not compensate him for the services he lidd rendered to theinstitution . —Mr . HardwiCk said , he would remand the prisoners . A letter , he might add : had boon put in to show that

      after her Royal Highness . had withdrawn ' her name ho had used it to collect subscriptions .- —The prisoner said , at the time the letter was received frorii her Royal Highness ; it was submitted to the committee , who submitted it to legal persons . The result was , the committee fourid they could not undo what they had done . The institution was founded under the immediate patronage of her Royal Highness , in 1832 ; and , by tho payment of ton guineas , her Royal Highness became a patroness for life . It was , therefore , resolved that the name should be kept up asthe patroness in 1832 ; but that the name should in future be left but of the prospectuses . This had hitherto been the case—Mr . Hardwick said , he should further remand the case td

      Wednesday next , and then' he ; would decide' whether he would convict . summarily or send the case to a , jury . —Aperson here produced seventy-eight ; letters from midwives jvhb hadriot been paid Another midwife produced twelve letters for which she could get no payment .

WORSHIP-STREET . — Attempted Murder . — Thomas Webb , ari elderly inan , was placed at the bar before Mr . Hammillfor final examination ,

      , charged with stabbing , and ; cutting the throat of his wife , Sarah Webb , with 'intent to ' murder , her . —Jane Taylor , the prisoner ' s niece ; stated : The ' prisoner and "his wife have lodged "for soriie time time past in-a back , room of a house occupied by me and my husband in New Church-street , Bethnalgreen ; arid while iii bed , between six and seven o'clock on the mornirigof Monday , ' the 23 rd ult ., ; I was awoke by a struggling in the prisoner's room , and a stifled . noise nV my aunt ' s' voice . ' I immediately got up and rah to their door , which was fastened inside , and while endeavouring to force it it was flung back by my aunt , who rushed past me with the exclamation / " For God ' s sake , send for a surecom he has cut my throat . " \ She was bleeding

      profusely from a . frightful wound liri her neck , and inside the roorii was a large' pool of blood at the side ofthe bod , and similar stains on other parts : of the floor . The prisoner was pacing hurriedly about his room , and upon my reproachinghini for attempting to murder my aunt , 'he said , " She is dead , and it s all over now . " I imiriediately sent one of my lodgers for ' a doctor , and upon returning to my own room fourid my aunt sitting in a chair near the window , with the blood pouring in a stream from her neck , and I tied handkerchiefs round her throat to prevent her bleeding to death . I then attempted to fasten the door , to save myself from similar treatment , but before I could do so the prisoner forced it open , and thrusting in his head repeated that his

      wife was dead . His wife was at that time incapable of utterance and apparently senseless , and Mr . Meeres , the divisonal surgeon ; arrived soon after , and having dressed her wounds ordered her to be carried ' up' to bed . The prisoner and hia wife I believe , have always lived upon , affectionate terms until about a month ago , when he attempted to take his own life by cutting his throat and was for some time in the London Hospital , over since which he has at times , from soine cause or other , talked incoherently . —Alfred Stokes , a brush-maker , said t I live in the same house with the prisoner , and having been aroused by niy wife , who ; had been alarmed b y screanis of " Murder , " I hastened down stairs , and found the prisoner stooping down wiping up a quantity of blood which had trickled from under his door into the passage . I hurried out for a

      surgeon , and . on' my way past the parlour door saw the prisoner's wife in a chair , with her head hanging over the back of it , insensible , frothing at the mouth , and blood gushing out from a large gash in her -throat . - Upon again reaching the house my wife and several other women were screaming terrifically from the windows , and as it was evident the prisoner was not in custody , I again started off for a constable to take him . After some further evidence , and on being asked if he wished to say anything in answer to the charge , the prisoner said that he felt satisfied his wife or some other ; person had given him something , deleterious which had affected his head at the time he committed the act ; and it being intimated thatthe surgeon who had had the care of the injured woman was not in attendance , the prisoner was formally committed for the completion of the depositions .

" " That , under these circumstances , this meeting is of opinion that the . conduct of Mr .

Peter Mann , late chief clerk bf the Leeds Waterworks Company , was brought up for further examination , on the charge of having embezzled nearly £ 5 , 000 ' of the moneys of the company , since February , 1847 . Some additional evidence having been given for the prosecution ,, Mr . J . '; -M . Barrett addressed the bench on behalf of the accused . Mr . Carbutt said , that the evidence adduced did not

      go far enough to show that there was a fraudulent intent " on the part of Mr , Mann in keeping back the money ; on the contrary , the evidence wliich had just been given rather negatived , the intent , for : it went to show that on account of the large deficiency of £ 1 , 3 . 12 12 s . Id ., which occurred in 1847 , special payments had been made , to a considerable amount , both . in 1848 and 1849 . They , therefore , gave Mr .

      , The following appeared in our Town Edition of last week : — . Charge of Conspibact . —The Satieist Newspaper ;—Atthe Bow-streel police office yesterday , Mr . Ansell the registered proprietor ofthe Satirist weekly , newspaper , and Miss S . Mills , residing at Montagu-street , Montagu-square , were charged with having on the 18 th inst ., fraudulently conspired to . obtain money from Mr . Henry Bevan .- ^ . Mr . Ballantine appeared on the part of the complainant , Mr . Hunter attending as counsel for Mr . Ansell , and Mr Lewis , the solicitor , for the other defendant . — -Mr . Ballantine said the prisoners were charged under the 6 & 7 Vic , c . 96 . The complainant was a gentleman of fortune having , his country

      seat at Twickenham . The female had without the slightest claim upon Mr . Bcvan , commenced a systematic attack upon him . She had filled the situation of governess in the neighbourhood of Twickenham , and had often seen the complainant , but no intimacy existed between them , except a bare recognition in passing . The first ofthe proceedings commenced so far back as September , 1848 , at which time she wrote to Mr . Bevan , reminding him of an application she had already made to him , that he would be her banker for the . sum of £ 10 . This letter he did not answer , and on the 15 th of November , she wrote another letter to tho complainant , asking him if it would suit his views to have his immoralities with a third person ( meaning a

      married lady ) exposed to his wife and daughters—at the same time , threatening an exposure of his conduct in a well-known satirical journal , and that copies should be sent to the different members of his family . He afterwards received another Tetter from the same source , stating that the " whole affair " should be exposed to his family , unless he consented to give the writer the money she required . On the 31 st March an article appeared in the Satirist , in which an ' attaek wag made upon the character of a " wealthy Lombard-street banker , " residing at Twickenham , « fec , the writer having evidently thought that the present complainant was Mr . Bevan , the banker ; but in that he was mistaken . The learned counsel havinir put in . several letters

      from tho defendants , in order to show to the court that . they ,. acted together , their common object being to extort money by threats , quoted the case of "The Queen v . Hamilton , " in which Baron Rolfe ruled ; that if reasonable cause were shown the parties concerned might be considered as actinj- jointly , and were guilty of felony in sending threatening letters for such a purpose . After hearthe evidence ,. Mr . Jardine fully committed the defendants to Newgate for trial , Ansell being ordered to put in bail , himself in £ 300 , and two sureties ! i £ 150 each , and the female defendant in the sum ot £ 100 , and two sureties in £ 50 each , to answer the charge at the Central Criminal Court . Warehouse Robbery at Manchester . —On

      Tuesday two young men , named Lear and Smith , were placed in the dock at the Borough Court , Manchester , charged with breaking into the warehouse of Messrs . Eller and , Company , merchants , Back George-street , and stealing therefrom three Bills of Exchange , one for £ 900 , the second for £ 60 , and thethirdfor £ 116 12 s . 8 d ., with about £ 5 in gold . The prisoner Lear , who is a packer , had occasionally worked for Messrs . Eller and Co . Police-Inspector May bury took Lear at his house , and found in the attick , among somo clothes on a shelf , the three bills of exchange . The prisoners were remanded till Thursday , the deppsitions . being ordered to bo

      taken against Lear . Mr . Beswick said Lear had once before robbed Messrs . Eller and Co ., who declined to prosecute on that occasion . Mr . Beswick told them at the time if they did not he would rob them again , arid he was very sorry to find his prediction had proved true . . . Doblin , Friday . — The Writs of Error . —The Quees t / .

      FRANCE . —The Citizens Louis Blanc and Caitssidiere . —Paris , Thursday . —The exposure of the names ofthe political convicts , MM . Caussidiereand Louis Blanc , which I announced the day before yesterday for this day ( Thursday ) , has taken place , owing to some new arrangements on the part of the authorities , a daysopnerthan was intended . The names ofthe two persons in question were ex-? osed to the public gaze yesterday in the Place du ' alais de Justice , A sort of scaffolding was erected without a platform , and on the top of two poles at the corners might be read ,, in letters of nearly a foot long , the names , dates , and place of birth , and ages ofthe contumacious , together with the offences for which they were condemned . There were

      about 200 persons collected round the spot , and ; at each of the four corners of the scaffold' ^ wore stationed' a party of gendartner te to ; maintain' order . Beyond , however , some few cries of Vive la Hepublique Deniocratique et Sociale , which . the gendarmes , ' as well as the crowd , received with a sort bf good-humoured nonchalance , no other demonstration was made . The parties who were the loudest in their vociferations against ' the tyranny of the government for thus maltreating ce cherpetit bonhomme , as , in the ardourof their fondness" and their patriotism , - they termed M . Louis Blanc , were ' the women who sell . flowers on the same spot ; ' These patriots of the gentler sexwere indignant in-the extreme , and declared ' that the only way to avenge the insult offered to Socialism in the persons 01 " two such deserving men was

      by ' flinging'flowers in abundance on ' the ; scaffold , and thus doing honour where the ; government endeavoured to inflict disgrace . Heaven forgive me for the thought ! butlsuspect . that the female SvOrshippers of the political martyrs j were not entirely disinterested in the expression of ; their zeal ; The opportunity was certainly a good one of making a handsome profit ; and the'Floras of the Palais de Justice did certainly give . a circulation to the coin of the realm , " as their baskets : were -emptied in ) a quarter of an hour .
