St , Long-acre . Mr Stvrr tho asseisor to the Westminster F : re office , eald tbatou the Slat cf Aagmt , the priion . r Beaumont called on him laying claim to £ 212 lCi ., among which was a quantity of w # « riDg apparel , which was found pledgrd previous to the 25 . hof August , when the fire took place . On Monday , the 4 th Inst ., the prisoner Fitzgerald came to bis hoaso , when she made a statement respecting the fire , without any threat or promise oeing made to her , which be reduced to writing . In the preieuca of Sstgetut Thompson , the officer . It was as fallows : — 'ScptHinberltb , 1818 .

    " Jane Fitzgerald—I heard Miss B f umoat gay to Baxter that she would give him £ 20 if be would set fire to the house—this was thiee months ago . She said she was highly indebted , and she owed thri-e . quarters' rent , and ber landlord wou'd not grant her a lease , and therefore sha would injure his house . Accordingly she kept sending me oat withh . r clothes tophdge . This was about last Saturday fortnlne'H , hut others were taken about three weeks before . She told mo it ' was to pay ber landlord , bet instead of that , when she received tho money and the ticket ? ( -he told me she would tako them to lira Rolling , of Ox ' ord-rtrest , sho- maker . On last Tburfd « y wtek a youn , { man called np n Miss Braumont , and took ber oat , as * hy said , to > he Hayoiarket Theatre . Oa that day . before thty

    w ? nt , she agreed wltbB lxttr to set fira to thehou . e , but he never raid be wouM do it . She laid d iwn £ 5 en the dresser , end said to him , 'Biitir I can ' t Rivo it into your hands , in ca ? e that I should be put to my oath that I gave you anymotey . ' B-xter took the money up , After that Miss Bebument and her young man wmt away , leaving myself acd Baxter in the bou ; e . Whet Mi < 8 Beaumont was gen ? , be turned to me , ecd said if he could get £ 50 to do it , h » would not do such a thing and he would go offlnto the coantry before the could pull him up for the money . He then went an ay . In the course ef the day I heard Miss B ^ autcont and the young man In conversation about eeiticg fira to the bouse The young man said to ber , get £ 3 worth ot ponder and put it in some greasy paper , ani place it near the

    fire , and it will blew the roof up . H ' ss Beaumont returned la half an hour after Baxter had gone . The young man came the next morning to breakfast , ' He was there talking all day with Miss Beuumont about the fi-o , settling how it should bu done . She promised him £ 20 , end alsi that when she go * - her n »« ney she would go to Australia with him , and if I would like to go with her ( . he would take me as her 'errant , er if noV she would g . ve me eome meney . I told her that I did nc mut the mosey , and that I wosld never be bribed to do such a thing . Miss Bi umont sen * me oat fir a three penny stamp , on which th ^ y wrote something , wide ! the ; told me was , 'By the Gad above , this secret was no : to be revealed by timer of us . ' She signed tir'g p » per alter he had done ro , and then made roe put a

    cross to my name to it . After doin ; this , I po « fright , ened , and ran away , and went torn ; cousin . Miss Beaumont came after mo there , tut she did ant see mo , as I bad bidden myself . This was is the afternoon , from on * to f .-ur o'clock . I returned to Long-acre aboui half-past four o'clock . Miss Bsenmont wi nt out and bought a pair of boots and brought tbsm to me . She told ma that the was going to Cremorae Gardens that night with the young man , and that she would nor return before one o ' clock . She s » id that I had betur go to bed , after the shop was abut , and when she csme heme she would ring double . Wntu I was at tea , Mrs Robins came in . She , Miss Bezumont , and the young tain went up stairs , and remained there , mere tfean an hour and a half . Before Mr * Robins went , shn took

    three or four large books outof the bar , and a little b > n Mrs Robits said ihey were new booki > , ard it was a pity they should be destroyed . Aad I raid , ' do you know that my mistress is going to do such a thing V end she aa . werrd me , and said , sbe never was astonished so much as when she returned into her own house , after shn had been out during the day , and found a large parcel cf Mite Beaumont's , containing duplicates , cud jaocaj , and c . othei ; a parcel , also , containing two £ 5 note " , gold and silver , and the policy . Mrs Robins left L-ngacre a ^ out nine o ' clock . Miss Beaumont , before she left , gave me strict orders to put the k-ttle on the gas , and leave tho boiler / over the fire . I did as she told me , and at a quarter to eleven I w < nt to bed , not tMnkinu that Mits Beaumont had luld any trap for me . A

    snout a quarter to twelve I was awoke by the ringing and tnochlrg of the po'ice . My room was fall of emoku I go-up thijs'tps of the cock . l ^ fr . I could not get any farther , and Mr Tucker sent two of his men . I had only my night-gown and cap . My gown I sifpp- d << v outstfe my n'itht-drtss . I went 'no one of M Tucker ' s bedroom ) . I w < nt that night to the house ot Mies B * au mom ' * brother . Miss Beaumont and tbe young man came t > ere betwetn twvlve « n & one n ' c'ofk in tbe morning . St-st day sha wished me to ketp with her , and to say everything that the wished about the clothes , her money , and otber th ' njs that bad been destroyed . I have been hero and made a statement , some of it Is true and eome eho told ma to aay , wbluh Is not true . Bnter took my box away on the Tuesday previous to the fire .

    I slept four eights ( commencing on Saturday ) at Mrs Mwre ' o , 2 , Belt * 8-court , Gray's inu-len * -. On Wednes day n ' ght I slept at my cousls ' s , at Deptford , his name is Daniel Fitzgerald , and bis residence is near the Dock , yard . He is garden-r . Miss Beaumont ' s sister •'• rought me a pair of shoes . She is Mrs Ma thew , thev . ' . o ota salesman ia the Borough market . Oa Thursday after > he fire Mits Beaumont promise 4 me £ 2 t ) . if I would stay with her and do aa she toll W 9 . Mrs Matbew alio wanted to take me and Miss Beaumcnt over the water and take furnished lodgings . I told her I -oold not go , but would stay atM .-t Moore ' s where I slept that ulgtit , and continued to do so . Before the fire . Mis ?

    Beaumont gave me , to take care of for her , a file of bids , two brass . work baskets , her own likeness and that of her sister , a brats lock , and a bos containing some bills . ' Further evidence is support of tbe case having been brought forward , Mr Clarkion said be ha < adduced sufficient evidence to apply for a remand , and he did not consider it inconsistent that the prisoner Frj should be admitted to bail . — Tbe prisoner Beaumont htre said , ' He ought to bo detained , for ha h ss gniity as myself . ' Mr J lrdine said , afcer such aa admission the greatest caution sboa'd be exercised In such an important cane , acd he shou ' . d order all the prisoners to be furttur remanded .

    A » soh . —Emma Beaumont and Jane Fi zgcrald , her servant , wer << reexamined , charged with setting fire to a coffee-shop , No . 53 , Long sere , then occupied by the former ; arid James Fry , with being an accessory btforr tbe f ict . A voluminous amt-ont of evidence was gone through , ! corroborative of that given above , and the prisoner * were committed ft * trial . GUILDHALL —I » OBTAKT TO Cumins PgoniETOtB ako the Panic —Mr Ber-jamin Sinclair , of 29 , Gerard-atrett , Islington , was summoned for unlawfully refuging to p « y the turn of 2 j . 64 . for himself and four other * , under the following circumstances : ¦—William Freeman , of No . 1 , York-terrace . Barnsbury-ptrk , conductor to one of Mr Smlh ' s omnibuses , running from Islington to KwnlBgtoa-gatt , sated that the dtitaitai

    and four otber parties entered his omnibus at the E ( epbun : acd Csstle , and rode as far at tbe Post Ofice . On their alighting , he demanded his proper fare of sixpecc <) each , which Mr Sinclair refused giving , on the ground that it was only a threepenny ride , and therefore be was not entitled to any more . Witness tPld him that hi must pay 'hi sixpence each , but the defendant would uot pay his demand although te pointed to tbe price inside the carriage , in cousequencoof which hs « ascompelled to tike the present proceedings . —In tbe course of the evidence it trasspired that the conductor was in the habit of charging two fares , 31 . and 61 ., the latter of which only was painted inside the omnibus . —Alderman Caallls observed that , whatevir fare was painted inside it was law / a ! for the conductor to demand , but he could

    not take more . He mtght , however , if be choae , take lets , bnt to render that taking legal , a ttble of fares tught to be exhibited ; for on complainant ' s own showing he was in the habit of taking passengers for Sj . and 6 i ., the latter being the only fare painted up . The law ltidit distinctly dawn that where there was only one fare that should be the only Jegsl one , but where there were more , then a lilt of fares should be placed for every per . son ' s inspection . He |( eho Alderman ) thought tbe present practice a most undesirable oaa . —The chief clerk h mght it was rather unfair to the public to represent tbe fare outside to ba only 31 . , which implied a spicific o-ntrsct , and then to turn round and charge the inside

    oae of 63 . —Tbe proprietor said that the fare of 6-1 . was aot OBlypsintedissWetheomnibus , but also on the door outside . —A'derman Challls ; Do ycu mean to say that you do cot iometimes charge two fares ? -Proprietor : We sometimes do . —Alderman Challii : And you bare no tablo of fares?—Proprietor : We bare not , only the 6 d . painted , ss I before said . —Aldtrman Cballls : Then ' according to law you ought to have bad , aad the sum ! mo & s is thtrefore dismissed , —Conductor : Bat whotam I to do for the fare , which has not been paid , and my los * of time * . —Alderman ChalHs ; I can ' t help that , you mutt recover how you think proper . _ All parties then left tho court , the complainant evidently not at all pleased with the result .

    The Cdsiom of the Tbibf . —a mechanic was charged with refusing to pay the fall price for a shoulder of mutton , and at-em at ing to possess kimielf of moneys belonging to Mr Venabl , meat Bahamas , in Newgate , market . —Mr Yeiables stated tbat on Saturday night las : theprhoner came into his shop and purchased a shoulder » f mutton ,. which weighed 6 lb »; 13 oz ., and which at 4 J 3 . per lb ., came to 2 s . 7 d . The prisoner gave 2 s 63 ., and refused to jive the odd penny . Tho meat was weighed a second time , and the weight was found correct . Tbe prisoner stlls refused to pay the 2 j . 71 , and contended that the meat did not coma to so much . —

    Mr Alieimaa ChallU : But 2 * . 7 d . was a fracttort to > much —Mr Tenables said tfeat tbe custom of the trade wr . 3 that wh-nmeat cam ) to within a fractlen of a penny the whole ptnoy was charged . As he would not pay tho odd ptnay , the witness ufased to give him tbe 2 s 6 'd . he paid for ts » mutton . Hs refused to return the money because the meat had been chopped , and could not be sold to any otber customer . Tbe prisoner then grabbed a handful of silver which was lying on a board in the shop , whin an officer was called In and he was given into cuitody . —The prisoner said that the shoulder at mutton only come to 2 i , « id ., which he off « r « d to pa ,

    but it was refused by Mr Tenables , and he thought it was a very hard case tbat he should have been locked up from Saturday night because be refused to give a halfpenny more than the meat came to . He did aot intsttdtatake Mr Tenables' money , but merely keep it until his half-crown was returned , and a half-d . zea ol Mr Tenables' man sprung upon him like so many bulldogs , and grossly ill-treated him . —Mr Alderman Ohadls p aid , that up to the time of his taking tho money 00 the board hU conduct was blamel « s ; but he 1 ad no ri / ht to take tha money . Mr Tenables had no right to charge the extra , halfpenny , whatever might be the custom of tho trade . The prisoner must bo discharged .

On her return from the country she removed some of the thiegs , but tbe

    boxes had bean opened aad several art : oles stolen from them . The defendant refused to give up those things and one of the boxvs . —Tho defendant said that he had no property of the woman ' s , He had become acquainted with her , unfortunately for himself , about fifteen months ago .

Wheu they went out he said to the man in attendance that he was not the worst shot in the lot ; and , taking hold of a loaded pistol , fired it at the target . He then fired the rifle at it , and whilst the assistant was engaged in reloading it he took up the pistol , which had been again charged , suddenly ra sed its muzzle to his head , fired , and fell . He was conveyed to the infirmary , where he died shortly sftsr 12 o ' clock the same night . The witnesses in

    the case were all strongly of opinion that the pistol could not have gone off by accident , but must have been fired by design . His demeanour was not in the least insane . The deceased fired 15 shots in the shooting gallery , for only one of which he paid , and when searched he was found to have only one half-penny in his pocket . Mr C . B . Wilson , the house-surgeon to the infirmary , proved that the bullet had entered by the palate , ' gone upwards , and right through the brain .

I sa paced from a paragraph in tho Inns . Tamn Lonooh Hewi of the 2 ad of September tbat it might prove to be that of a young man who was missing named Coombei , who was lost from the Ocean Uouarch . I have had it examined by tha M ^ jor of Lanoaster , a highly respectable medical man , and bis opinion is that the marks of violence have been caused after death by the beating sb . mt of the body upon the rocks .

    Drsadful Occurbbscb An occnrreDceof a very nainfnl and unparalleled character has taken place at Woodbridge , in the lunatic asylum belonging to Mr Siaw . aitoa ' ein the Woodbridge-road , and known as Belle Vue House , b y which one of the inmates came to a sodden and violent death . The circumstances attending this lamentable case may be thus briefly narrated : —A woman named Mary Bullman , of unsound mind , but generally of a quiet and peace , able demeanour , who had been a patient of Mr Sb . tw ' 8 for some years , was on Monday last placed in the yard used for exercisrnc the patients , with a girl about twelvejears , named Susan Bennet , a confirmed idiot , and , from her distressing affliction , perfectly helpless—in fact , she was unable to talkwalkor

    , , feed herself . Durirg the temporary absence of one of the attendants , Mary Bennett , a nurse , want into the exercising yard , where she saw the deceased lying on her back on . the grass ; the chair on whioh she usually sat . was standing np , and Bullman was leasing over her . On getting nearer she found that an apron , worn by the woman , was twisted round the child ' s neok . She was quite still avd appeared dead . The moment Bullman saw the nurse ,, she took the apron off the deceased , and wrapped it round her arm . Tho nurse commanded Bullman to go to her room , when she replied , ' No , I will stay and see if the ¦— dies . I will stay and

    see the list of her . ' When requested the second time to go , she replied , * Oh , nonsense , do not talk so silly ; if you do I will serve you the same , ' at the same time showinjt the apron , strings , and added , ' thefe are what I did i \ with . ' Medical aid was called in but life was found to be quite extinct . —Dr Durrant , the visiting physician to the asylum , said that the woman was in such a state » s to be unable to distinguish between right and wrong . —An inquest was held on the body by Mr Jackman , the coroner , and tbe above facts having been sworn to , the woman Bullman was placed before the jury , and she at once admittf d to tbem thst ahe had strangled the child but assigned no reason for so doing . —The jury hav '

    ceased was siratiEled by Mary Bullman , and that tha said Mary Bullman , at the time she committed the aot , was of unbound mind . '—The deceased and her murderess were both received from tbe Newmarket union bouse . The Home ano ihb Patsos . —The crowding inside the lower class of houses , especially at night , is almost incredible . We have known twenty people occupying one cellar , eolowin thereof , that a man of otdinary stature could hardly stand erect in it . rbe prison inspectors recommend that not less than 1 , 000 cubic feet ef space should be provided for each prisoner , as being essestial te health and ventilation ; and yet it frequently happens that thirty human beings will voluntarily lay themselves down to sleep pn the Soot of a wretched apartment oontainine only 2 , 100 oubio feet of air , being little more than ene-htceenth part of tbat allotted in our gaols . —it , erpo ol Health of Towns Advocate .
