      QUEEN SQUA 11 E . _rao -DAT . —¦ A NoroEious _liirosToa . —Ellen Smallman , alios _Jfarv _vratfcins _, a young woman on crutches , with _ . _ . head so enveloped in linen bandages tbat her face _-was scarcely visible , was charged with begging . James light , US 15 , stated that at a little after six on Saturday evening , he was in Qarcn ' s-buildiugs , Brompton , when he aaw- defendant go into a dark place and wrap bandages Toand her _liiad and _riglit arm . She then placed herself on the side of the footway , with a written label in front of her , on which were ihe words , "lam entirely deaf . " She hung down her head , aad appeared to be very ill ;

      and _pjrsons who passed , commiserating her condition , relieved ner . _'Witncsa then took her iuto custody , when she walked very briskly to the Station , aud appeared to have suddenly recovered . He took tbe bandage from her arm , aad foaud that there was nothing the matter with it ; and , oa removing the cloths from her head , discovered a-very fins head of hair , hut no wound or injury of any _inscription . Mr . Bond observed that it was quite evident that She WHS dressed up to impose upon the benevolent , and committed her for fourteen days . Defendant , who never uttared a syllable daring ths examination , evidently _lindcrstood every word , and on the decision being given . immediately left the bar .

      WOItSniP-STItEET . _ITosdat . —As _Aun-CL Dor- < _s __ a . —Charlotte Turner , a - . neatly-dressed and rather _dsniuw-looking young woman , was placed at ths bar , before Mr . Brough ton , charged ¦ with having obtained , under false representations , the sum of XI 10 s . from lier Jnte mistress , the wile Of a tradesman named Jl-ason , In High-street , Shoreditch . It _appsared from the evidence of _3 Irs . Mason , that about five _weaks ago she engaged thc prisoner as a domestic ser-¦ Tant , having been _previously assured by a person of apparent respectability , named Lowtber , to -whom she referred for a character , that she had served her for a length of lime in a similar capacity , and had given entire satisfaction . After she had been a few days in her service , the prisoner intimated to her mistress that she had just Teceived the distressing intelligence ofthe sudden death

      Of her father , which took place at Maidstone , and requested , as she was anxious to attend his funeral , that she would advance her a Hnall sum of money to procure mourning for tlie melancholy occasion . Her request having been at once complied Kith , the prisoner departed on her supposed mournful mission , aud after remaiuiug nearly a week absent , she returned home , and informed _Isr mistress that she had _ibUowed her lather to thegrave , and that the sad bereavement had caused such a shock to her surviving parent , that her death was almost momentarily expected . Ou the morning after this announcement the prisoner , with erery appearance of horror and agitation , communicated to her mistress that she had oeen visited in the night hy tlie apparition of lier mother , and so earnestly entreated permission to pay another " visit into the country to satisfy her mind npon the subject , that her proposal was immediately acceded to , and a further sum advanced to enable her to undertake the journey . After the lapse of another week the prisoner again made her appearance , and apprised her mistress

      that her fatal forebodings had been realised , as her mother had actually expired at the very moment she received fhe supernatural warning of the event , and that sh « had se _« n her laid bj tbe side of her lamented father . After using every effort to soothe and _tranquillize the unhappy orphan , apparenily to no purpose , _herbinivolcntmistrcss ¦ _wzs greatly _aJarcusd at finding- nest morning that she had absconded during the night , but after au anxious search she was at length discovered 3 t a public-house in the City-road , in company of a mau with whom it -was ascertained she had been cohabiting on the two previous occasions -when she absented lierseh _. and her mistress having also learned that so far from being dead and "buried , hoih lier parents were alive and in perfeefheaith , -sh « deemed it her duty to give the _prison-or into custody for ihe gross imposition she had practised upon her . Jfr . _JJrougfcton said that a clear case of obtaining money nnder false prateuces had bc _** n made out against the prisoner , but h _: should remand her for a few days , as it was probable thatother charges of a similar description would be brought forward .

      _SOTj-rnWARK . "W £ DX __ sdat . _—ExTBAoaniNiET Cash . —Henry Joseph _Silleiby , a jov _ . l"a of _ssvcnti-sn years of age , apprentice to a printer in the city , was brought before Mr . Cottingham charged on suspicion witli _bciifg the writer of anonymous letters , addressed to several families residing in tlie borough OI South work , threatening the lives of theparties , Blid also _iuclosing poison for the purpose of destroying ilitra . Last we _* k the churchwardens of St . George's parish , Southwark , made an application at this court npon the salgect , and amongst others produced au anonymous letter addressed io Air . Strud , the parish clerk , the ¦ miter threatening to set fire to die church if he did not announce to the congregation on Sunday some rile _iusixoations against the character of a Mrs . Spriggs , residing iu "White-street , in the vicinity of the church . In

      consequence of the application to thc magistrate , tilt officers of the detective police hare been engaged in the discovery of the affair , and the result of their inquiries was the _apprehension of the prisoner . The prisoner is rather a decent-looking lad , and on being placed at the bar he evinced no fear or alarm . Us -was accompanied to the court hy his father , who is a tradesman in Whitestreet , nearly opposite to the residence of one of the persons to whom a letter containing poison had been recently sent . Sergeant Kendall , of the detective police , made a statement to the effect that a memorial was transmitted to Sir James Graham some time ago , wliich was afterward ! placed in tlie hands ofthe commissioners orpoiicc , and tliat it contained a representation of the state of alarm iuto which the memorialist and his family had heen thrown in consequence vf thc threats of au anonymous

      writer . Tho document , which was signed by a brother ofthe accused , on being placed in the hands of the fletfcCilve officers , was found to bear a strong resemblance to the writing in the anonymous letters , and this fact led to further inquiries , iu the course of which some writing of the prisoner ' s was procured , which bore such a similarity to the offensive epistles as to create a v . ery strong belief that he was the writer of them . On a recent occasion it was also ascertained that a letter had b : eu posted in thc _Jlinories , and that tlie prisoner was seen near the spot at that place at the time at whieh it was dropped iu the letter-box . Several anonymous letters were handed to the magistrate , and amongst them one by Mr . Samuel Cloater , addressed to his daughter , containing about three quarters of an ounce of poison , and ran thus : — "Sept . 3 , lSi 5 .

      "Hy dear Elizabeth—If you mix the white powder 1 hare enclosed in the letter , you will find it very delicious . It has come from . Prance . 1 shall call in a few days . 3 __ imJ you mix ths powder directly you _rcceivr- it , and you wSl find that it has the Savour of ths melon . " _ Ur . Cottingham compared thc writing of the note with a specimen ofthe pr isoner ' s band-writing recently procured , _auuTennvrkca that the resemblance was certainly -very strong . Evidence was here adduced that ths powder contained in the letter had since been analysed , and wns found to bj osaiic acid . Another letter was read by the magistrate addressed to a Miss Elizabeth Spriggs , describing that thc writer of it was aware that exertions wero made for a discovery ; that he was aware the officers -were In search of liim , and had seen them on the preceding night making inquiries at jlrs _/ _Spriggs's , hut that he That he

      would foil them in all their attempts . was aware a reward of £ 40 had been offered to discover the writer , but that if it was _£ 1 , 000 it ivould not have the desired effect . The writer then expresses his determination not to stop until he has sacrificed some of the inhabitants of the parish , whose names he inserted , for their _ofiiciousness in _attempting to discover the author of thc letters . Another note was also produced , the writer vowing vengeance against Sir . Cloater , for preventing his daughter from taking the ponder . A copy of the prisoner ' s hand-writing , with the words _"iiiss Elizabeth Spriggs , " written that morning , was compared with the superscription on the above letter , and was found to be a _rery close resemblance . Several anonjnious letters were produced which had tern written to Mr . _Kemble , a hop merchant , of a threatening nature , and one of them , contaming poison , was addressed to his wife while he was in the country . The letter purported to be from a clerk in Mr . Kemble ' s employ , describing that his employer bad directed him to enclose Mrs . _Kemhla some powders of a

      tot efficacious description , which he recommended her to take as soon as possible , and tliat they would benefit her health . The chief part of tbe letters had been dropped in _ilr . Kemble ' s own letterbox , nntil the writer finding a watch was kept thero , then regularly posted them . _Tortunately Ur . Kemble did not adopt the advice contained in the note , and otlier threatening letters were sent , when the infamous writer found his plan frustrated . _ Jlr . Bowling , chemist and druggist , of Kent-street , produced some threatening epistles which ho also received , in consequence of his being one of the parishioners who had recommended a reward of £ i 0 for the discovery of the writer . The language in ihe letters was of a most infamous description . 3 Ir . Cottiuguam asked the prisoner whether he wished to say anything at the present stage of the inquiry , and his reply was that he did not wish to make any statement at present . Mr . Cottingham said that he should remand the prisoner nutil Monday , hut that he had no objection to accept of two sureties of £ 100 each for las appearance on that day .

      Pbidat . —Attempt at Pcisoxixg . —Bridget Smith , described as a married woman , and about thirty years of age , was plaecdat the bar before Mr . Cottingham , charged with , sending a quantity of poison to Henry Smith , with a view of destroying him . Thomas Hyatt , a boy about nine years of age , stated that on _Friday afternoon last , about two o ' clock , as he was at play in the Cornwall-road , Lambeth , the prisoner , whom he had not seen before , eame up to him , and asked him to take a parcel for her to ilr . Smith ' s , at Xo . 3 , Peer's-cooperage , near Waterloo Church . She then gave witness the parcel ( prodacedj , desired him to leave it at 3 Ir . Smith ' s , and to say that the parson who gave him the parcel was to desire llrs . Smith to make tea , and that she would call and

      havo some with her , adding that when he ( witness } returned , she ( the prisoner ) would give him a penny for his trouble . Witness accordingly took the parcel , and gave it to an old lady who came to the door , to whom he delivered the message , bnt when he returned to the place where he left the woaian to get the penny , he found she was gone away . The witness added tbat he had no doubt the prisioner was _theperson who sent him with the parcel . —Mary Smith , the mother of Henry Smith , confinned the hoy's _evidence as to the receiving the pared fiom _Jum . The _witaiss , on untying the parcel , found it _contamed a _quanVrty of moist sugar aud some lumpintn _™?^ ' _h 3 lC _^ up the « , arc _" iiI a S _-u naiSl _»«* * * _*<*•* ¦>¦ _retumtuhomi , aad having _inSj aueillum of _whaJ had taken

      place in his absence , he expressed his surprise that such a parcel should have been sent to him , and , as he suspected something wrong , he took it to a chemist ' s shop , and brought back word that there was a quantity of _pojEon mixed with the sngar , nnd that if they had taken _sny portion . it must have caused their death . — Henry Smith , a man about thirty years of age , was then examined . He stated that he was a charcoal-dealer , in the Cornwall-road , and that when the message about the parcel was delivered to him by his mother , on the _evening of Friday , he took it to Mr . " Handy , _tllC * 5 lir o'e 011 , ofthe Waterloo-road . That gentleman proceeded to the examination of the contents of the parcel , and

      pronounced that a large quantity of oxalic acid was mixed up with the sugar . Mr . Cottingham asked the witness if he had previously been acquainted With the prisoner , aud as to what her motive could have been iu sending him poison whether _tht-y had quarrelled , or that she had ever made any threats against him ?—Smith , in reply , said that some time ago she threatened to poison him . It further appeared that the complainant and the prisoner had cohabited together , and she had borne him a child . The prisoner asserted that she was lawfully married to the complainant , but this he denied . The prisoner asserted her innocence , nnd insisted that the boy Hyatt , must be mistaken . She was rt . j _ i .-mile . l _

      . THAMES . TpESDAY . —ExTnAOBDI . VABT ClIAEGE OF _RiFE . — Samuel Hart , a grave-looking man , 50 years old , and nearly bald-headed , wa 3 brought before Mr . Ballantine , _charged with forcibly _violating -the person of Mary Ann Dodd , his wife ' s sister , aged 18 years . Mr . Pelh _. im stated the case for the prosecution , lie said this was a most painful and extraordinary case . The prisoner was a piiinttr and glazier , ' and lived in Greenwood-street , Mileond . The girl whom he was charged with abusing was a cripple , and had been afflicted with a disease of the hip from the time of her birth ; and one of her legs being shorter than the other , she could not walk without the assistance of a crutch . When she lay down she could not rise again without a great effort , uuless she was

      assisted , some time ago the girl went to the house of her sister , theprisontr's second wife , as a sort of domestic and to do needle work . On the night of Tuesday , the leth ult ., the prisoner came home with his wife at a very late hour . The girl was sitting up for them and let them in , and they all went up stairs to their bed rooms nt the same time . The girl ' s bedroom was on the same floor , and adjoined the prisoner ' s bedroom . She slept with the prisoner ' s tliree children . At daybreak , on the morning of the 17 th , the girl was awoke by the prisoner , who had obtained admission to her bed , and he then committed the offence laid to his charge . The girl screamed loudiy for help , indeed as loud as she was able , and the children awoke audbegan crying . The prisoner immediatel y left her and returned to his own room . His wife , it appeared ,

      slept so soundly that she did not hear the screams of her sister , and was not made acquainted with the affair until several days afterwards . The girl was so overcome with shame and fear that she made no communication to her sister in the house or to any one else , until Sunday last , when she informed another sister and her father that the prisoner had abused her , and begged of them to obtain redress . Her father promised tbat he would attend to her wishes , but he had not sought redress for his injured daughter , and took no steps in the matter at all . Under these circumstances the sister had consulted Mm ( Mr . Pelliam ) , and he advised tliat the man should be immediately given into custody . —Mary Ann Dodd was then sworn . Her testimony confirmed the statement of

      her solicitor . She added that'the prisoner had since made improper advances towards her , which she had resisted . The prisoner , with much animation , said the charge was false , and trumped up against him by the prosecutrix and her sister who had given evidence . He was a respectable and a moral man , and bad nevar any idea of committing the offence laid to his charge . The girl had robbed him to a great extent , though he had supported aud cherished her , and her sister Caroline was a common prostitute , who formerly walked _llishopsgate . He begged of the magistrate to allow him to put in bail and obtain professional advice , for he was an innocent man . The prisoner was remanded , but admitted to bail , himself in £ 80 , and two sureties in £ 1 Q each .

      Pbidat . —The further hearing of the above case took place this day , when another sister of the prosecutrix ' s , named Sarah Bunker , was called , who stated that thc girl made the same complamt to her as she had done to another sister ( Caroline Podd ) , that the prisoner had wronged her . The girl was then interrogated at great length as to her reasons for not divulging the alleged misconduct of tho prisoner until ten days afterwards ; and , after a good deal of sobbing and sighing , she said she was ashamed to do so . It was elicited from her that she sat down to dinner with the prisoner and family daily

      from tbe Inh to the 2 _Gth ult ., and that the day after she left her eldest sister ' s ( the prisoner ' s wife ' s ) house , Mr . Hart came to the place where die was staying with her sister Carolina , with two policemen , and demanded a frock which she had taken away . The frock was given up . The prisoner was not taken into custody until Tuesday last , a fortnight after tbe alleged rape hadbeen committed . She had previously seen her father and told him what had occurred , but he did uot know what to do . The _ptisoacr was committed for trial , bnt admitted to bail himself in £ ' 80 , and two smeties in £ 40 each ,

      A . lliscKEAST . — The Hosiasitt of the Took . — William Hazlc , an ill-tempered though well-dressed fellow , residing at 11 , Poitman-place , Stepney , was charged with cruelly maltreating Susannah , his wife . — The complainant , a delicate interesting young woman , stated that she had been four years married to the prisoner , and during the whole of the period he had treated lier with most unrelenting cruelty , not from any sudden excitement , but calmly aud deliberately . On Sunday week he got a piece of rope , which he made up in tke form Of a whip , and on the same evening he took the screws from the hinges of . the door , which he again temporarily fastened up with nails . About four o ' clock next morning he burst in tbe door , and beat her cruelly with the rope which he had prepared . On another occasion

      she gave him in charge for beating her with a thick bamboo cane , which he split to pieces on her person , but on his promising amendment before the inspector the charge was not pressed . On _WcSnesday last he came home in ill humour , and d—d the infant who was crawling on the ground . She told hira not to do so , as his curses would fall upon himself , when lie followed her into the kitchen , drew her along by the hair of the head , and gave her several blows and kicks which cut and marked her severely . He never let her see the colour of his money , but left her and her children to _starTe , so as that they were compelled to live on the casual bounty of the neighbours . Anne Pearson , a poor woman living in a house to the rear of the prisoner's , proved that for the last three months , during which she lived in the place ,

      thc prisoner treated his wife with unremitting cruelty . On the previous Wednesday she showed witness her legs , which were all over bruises , and iu gores of blood . The complainant was a most domestic woman , who never left her home , but she and her children were half starved by the prisoner , and witness often assisted her with food out of her own scauty means . John Pearson , husband to the last witness , stated that on Saturday ho saw a stick rise and fall through the window of the prisoner ' s house as if some person was beating another inside with great violence . The house was at somo distance , and as the door was shut , witness heard no cries . —Mr . Ballantine You and your wife assisted this poor woman ?—Witness Oh , sir , don ' t speak of that , I'd blush to mention it ; 'twas a triflle—a mere trifle . I wish it had been more , pool '

      thing , she subsists ou too little . This little touch ot generous sympathy and unostentatious humanity thrilled _throu-h the court with an electric effect . —Mr . . Ballantine ordered the prisoner to pay a fine of £ 3 , or be imprisoned for two month 3 , besides giving security to keep the peace in future . The prisoner was locked up in default . The worthy magistrate subsequently ordered five shillings to be given to the complainant , and a like sum to the poor but worthy man who had relieved her in her necessities . —Pearson : No , your worship ; I am obliged to you , * ' My wife and I can earn our little morsel and eat it in peace . Give it all to the poor woman . —Mr . Ballantine highly commended the noble spirit which exhibited itself in so low a state , and was sure the honest fellow ' s own emotions were the best reward he could rec « iv " e .

      CLERKENWELL . Thursday . — Assat ; i . t . —Charles Soames and liis wife were charged with an assault on an old man . The prosecutor's liead was frightfully lacerated , and the side ofhis face was swollen and bruised Tery sadly _, lie stated that in the evening he went to tho defendant ' s house and asked for payment of a sum ol money that was due to him . The woman answered him at the door , and first abused him in the coarsest manner , aud then _fetched a poker and beat him with it about the head . A police-constable was brought to

      the spot , butthe prisoners had escaped , and itwas _sometimebefore their retreat was ascertained . Before being captured they made a desperate resistance , and the woman kicked the officer so _sererely as to incapacitate him from duty for some days to come . The man ' s defence was tliat the prosecutor liad induced his wife to get drunk in liis house , and spend between £ 8 and £ Q , and this caused her to become exasperated when she saw him in her sober moments . He denied bavin done more than endeavour to save his wife from being locked np . The prisoners were _comm . tt « _l to the House of Correction for fourteen days .

      "WORSHIP-STREET . _TnunsDAT . — Thihjatbsiko Letters . — -Mr . Vann , a solicitor , attended before Mr . Broughton , accompanied by Mr . Tboma 9 Auvaclie _, a master waver , livin < un Manchester-street , Bethnal-green , in whose behahf he requested the magistrate to advise and assist him under the following circumstances : —Mr . Vann stated tbat his client , Mr . Auvache . had given some important evidence at the trial of James _rapnin" the man who was executed at the Old Bailey , in tWearlypartof the present year , for the murder of Emma Whiter , a young woman to whom he had

      paid his addresses ; and after adverting to tne tact which had been elicited during the preliminary _investigation of that melancholy case , that the mind ol the wretched _Icrimiual had been in the first instance inflamed and exasperated against his unfortunate victim by receiving a number of anonymous letters impugning her character , _thelleamed gentleman proceeded to state that the subject of his present application referred to a series ef similar communications which had been sent to his client rcspecv ing a young person named Brooks , to whom he had for a considerable period paid honourable attention , and was shortly to be married , 'Ihe anonymous

      Queen Squa11e. Rao -Dat. —¦A Noroeious L...

      correspondence of which he complained dated its commencement from ' the-very week in which Tanping was executed , and the letter ' having been tor some time confined merely to vague but most virulent imputations upon the young woman ' s reputation , wliich his client was perfectly satisfied were wholly false , he paid no attention to them ; but their concealed author _ having lately given expression to most alarming invectives against the object of his affections , and in direct and unambiguous terms incited him to murder her , his client felt that it was high time to take some decisivo steps for the discovery of the offender , aud obtained legal assistance for tliat purpose . The ; inonymous assailant , however , appeared byaonie means to _liayo become apprised o _ the course he had

      adopted , for on the day after his client had placed tho matter in his ( _MnVunn _' s ) hands ; he received another letter of a very alarming tendency , in which the writer , after vowing the most deadly vengeanco against his intended wife , expressed his determination , should Mr . A uvache proceed any further in the matter , or attempt to raise his hand or voice for tho young woman's protection , to lie iu wait for him , and dash out his brains ; and concluded by declaring that he was fully prepared to expiate the crime unon the scaffold ; and advised him to take this as aWous and final warning of the author ' s intentions . The system of malignant and unreleniing persecution to which his client aud Miss Brooks had been subjected , had occasioned the greatest app rehension aiid _alami

      pith to themselves and tlieir respective families , and he considered liis own and the young woman ' s life in danger . —Mr . Vann then handed to the magistrate a packet of letters relating to tho subject of the application , after perusing somo of which , Mr . Brousrhton said that tlie feelings of apprehension under which the applicant was labouring wore certainly fully justified by the menacing tendency of the letters whicli had been produced ; the last of wliich in particular contained a direct threat against his life ; and he should , therefore , order Fitzgerald , the warrant officer , to use the most vigilant effort * to discover their author , if possible ; and in that event he would instantly issue a warrant for his apprehension . The applicant thanked the magistrate for his attention , and left tho court with his solicitor . _*^< __ _* _t _^ _' _^•^^• _A _>^ _, _<^_ _M _«^_>^ _l _>^_^__^__ _r _i _____¦ _n _^^ _AV _¦^^^^^_« _v _^^¦ _l _¦^^ _V _>^¦

      Caution to ins Public . —No sooner is a medicine well established in public favour than a host of imitators spring up , who , for the sake of profit not only wrong the proprietor of the genuine medicine , but inflict a serious injury on the unwary purchaser of their base counterfeit trash . These remarks apply to thc remedy which is so well known as " Abcructhy ' s Pile Ointment . " This excellent remedy for Piles lias been established by undoubted proofs of its eftlcacy . Purchasers may be able to detect these frauds by _linking particularly for " Abernethy ' s Pile Ointment" in covered pots , price 4 s . 6 d . ( which is the lowest price the proprietor is enabled to sell it at owing to the great expense of thc ingredients ) , and observe the name of O . King is on the government stamp pasted round each pot . Sufferers trom piles will not repent giving the Ointment a trial .

      Child Mukdkr . —On Thursday , Mr . Mills , deputy coroner for West Middlesex , held a _proti-aete . l in < jae 3 t at the Coach and Horses , Aiv-street , ilattoii-gurden , on the body of William Hill , jigod six months . — _Eliznbcih Hill , a very young woman , mother of deceased , examined : My husband is a glass-cutter , and we reside at No . 26 , " in this street . About eleven o ' clock on Saturday night last . 1 left the baby well and hearty in _bocl , ' and went into Leather-lane to buy it somo miik . It was then fast asleep . I returned in fifteen minutes and found it dead in bed . The child was not born in wedlock , _andniy prcsentliiisbfindisnotthefatherofit . Itwas born at my mother ' s , 15 , Seiners-street , over the way .- There-was 110 OnClIl the room w hen I found the child dead . 1 had not left it a _q tiarter of an hour altogether . When 1 went out for the

      milk 1 left my husband in thc room quite-sober , and standing with his back to the fire . As I was going out , I asked him to go on an errand to my mother's , in _Somers-street _, and lie said he would . When I came back he was gone . When I took the child from the bed it . made a strange noise in the throat once , and then died . On passing my hand over its head , it had no cap on , I found on the left ; side , behind and above the car , a bump as big . as the halt' of a- goodsized egg , and a spot of dry blood on the cheek . I could see it wns a bump from a hit . There -was another reddish bump atthe back ol" the head . , not so large as the other . My husband was the first person to come into the room , almost directly after me . I said to him , ** Baby is dead ; it has

      been killed some how or other—run and fetch mother . " He replied , "Is it quite dead ? " I answered , "Yes , for some minutes . " He went and fetched Catherine Shepherd from my mother ' s ( my mother not being at home ) , and he said he had been to fetch Mr . Mullins , surgeon , of Leather-lane , but that he was not at home , He went out again and fetched a doctor ( the summoning officer said it ' was a non-medical man ) from Hatton-wall , who merely looked at the child , aud said that it had died of inflammation ofthe chest , and that the bumps on the head were the result of convulsions . When the doctor was gone I said to my husband , "If you have done it , tell me . " He said , " I have not touched the child . " I afterwards said , in the presence of witnesses , " . You

      wicked wretch , you have killed the baby . This is the night you long wished for . " He made no answer . — The Coroner : What did you mean by saying to your husband , * ' The night you wished for ia come ?"Witness _: Because he frequently ill-used and threatened the child . About a month ago , in the middle of the night , the child being ill and crying at the time , he said if I did not keep it still he would dash its brains about . I toid him 1 could not Jielp its crying , and that if he hit it , I should hit him . He then struck at the baby , but hit me , and I had a struggle with him to prevent him hitting the child .. He hit me on the side of the head and raised a great lump . He frequently ill-used me as well as the baby . — Cross-examination in chief resumed : About two

      months ago , during the night , he got out of bed , and thinking I was asleep , he pinched a piece , out of thc calf of the baby's right leg . The wound did not heal until last week . 1 took the child . to Mr . Mullins , surgeon ' , who ordered me to poultice the wound , and asked how I could live with sueh a vagabond . I also went to complain of my husband to Clerkenwell police-court , but they told me 1 must get a warrant , which . I could not do for want oi money . . After lie had pinched the child I said to him , " How could you

      hurt the poor child , how could you be so brutish ?" He answered , "Before I do anything better to it , I will do something worse very likely . " A month after our marriage he gave the child a black eye , and in a fortnight after that he began to threaten it . He once hit the child in the stomach whilst it was lying on the floor , and it was , very sick for two or three days afterwards . I have nothing more to say . —After hearing the evidence of other witnesses , the jury , without more than a moment's deliberation , returned a verdict of Wilful Murder aeaiust William Hill .

      _Deaii ! op a Husband and Wife . —On Thursday Mr . Baker held an inquest at the King ' s Arms , Prospect-place , Bethnal-green , on view of the body of Mr . Charles Anderson , aged fifty-three years . It appeared by the evidence of several witnesses that deceased had formerly carried on the business of a master baker in the parish of Hackney . He subsequently became reduced ; was obliged , after a series of calamities , to serve as a journeyman , and then took to drinking . On Tuesday se ' nnight his wife died suddenly , and it being alleged that her

      death had boen occasioned through his ill-treatment , an inquest wa 3 held on Friday last only on her body , when there being no evidence to substantiate such a statement , the jury returned a verdict of natural death . This circumstance had preyed much upon deceased's mind , and his body was discovered floating on tho _Regent's-canal , on Wednesday morning , near the Bethnal-green workhouse . There being no evidence to show how he came into the water , the jury , under the coroner ' s direction , returned a verdict of Found Drowned .

      _DnAtn from Oil op Almonds .---Ou Friday aftert noon , Mr . William Payne , the City coroner , weninto a long inquiry in the board-room of St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital , as to the death of Sarah Webb , aged forty-nine years . It appeared by the evidence that the deceased was in the habit of working for a Mrs . Francis , residing at No . 2 , _Bennett's-h ill , Doctors ' -coinmons . On Friday morning , whilst _^ tho deceased was at work in the kitchen , she was seized with a fit of shivering . Mrs . Francis ran to the deceased and placed her on the floor . She remained in that position a few minutes , when she vomited . A surgeon was called in , who , seeing the state she was in , ordered her to be removed with all speed to the above hospital . A small bottle was found _soan

      afterwards , which the deceased had been tasting from . There was a strong smell in the room of tho essential oil of almonds . The deceased never spoke after she fell to the ground , and died in ten minutes after her admission into the hospital . Mr . T . Francis said , in answer to the coroner , that the bottle was his property . It contained a small portion of almond flavonving , which was considerably weaker than oil of almonds . The deceased m list have placed the bottle to her mouth for the purpose of tasting its contents . The coroner animadverted in strong terms on the danger of leaving such articles exposed , after which the jury returned a verdict , " That the deceased died from the effects of poison taken by mistake . "

      Death of _Eahl Spencer . —Earl Spencer , better known as Lord Althorp , died at his country seat , Wiscton Hall , on Wednesday . He was born on the 30 th of May , 17 S 2 , and was , therefore ; " at his demise in his Cith year . Ho "was married on the 14 th of April , 1814 , to Esther , only daughter of Mr . Richard Acklom ; this lady died on the 11 th of June , 1 S 18 , without leaving any issue . The deceased Earl is succeeded in his title and estates by his brother , the Hon . Captain Frederick Spencer . Those who remember the Reform Bill agitation , and the subsequent Whig Government , need not be told who and what Earl Spencer was .

      Death from Starvation at Humvebsfield . — On Monday last , an inquest was held before C . Gleadall , Esq ., and a very respectable jury , ou the body of Mary Woodcock , aged fifty-three , who had died the previous Saturday , literally starved to death . Deceased had , for the last ten months , resided in a house with a man named Samuel Walker , and a more deplorable looking place caunot bo imagined . On entering the door , a stench was emitted quite disgusting , not one article of furniture in the place , and it appeared as if it had not been swept out for twelve months . Deceased ' s bed was up staii' 3 , and consisted of a bundle of shavings , no mat , blanket , sheet , or any kind of covering to it , except the wretched rags she wove daily ; the old man ' s bed consisted of an old rotten flock bed , also without covering . Thejury returned a verdict of "Died from destitution and want of the common necessaries of life . "

      _Inssu LmERALiS _!*—Tub _Pjiiests and the "Nation . "—The party of which the late Mr . Davis * was the head , now lies under great suspicion in _Irolilfld , on account of its supposed liberal _tendenciss . It fe not so intensely Catholic as- tho other Repeal organs , and has not hesitated to approve of the , New Colleges' Bill , even though thc government . has refused to place them under the exclusive controul oi any priesthood , It is even said to have been a mooted point with tlie Committee of the Repeal Association , whether the Sate Mr . Davis and the other members ofthe Young Ii'elaud party should not be openly denounced as the advocates ofi » hdelitv . because of their

      support of the . "Iufidei Colleges' Bill . " As it ig tlis priest party of Ireland is labouring hard to undermine the influence of the Nation , and a new paper is jast about to be started in opposition to it , , which is reported to bc under the patronage of the _O'Ccnnells _ani tho Roman Catholic clergy . A . good seed , however ; hits already been sown In Ireland liy the labours of Mi _> Davis and his coadjutors ; they have learned the Irish people to think and actfor themselves ; and , doubtless , there are these yet surviving- in- Ireland , who are able and willing to carry on the good work , and prevent thc popular movement from , becoming a mere agitation for the * aggrandisement or th _^ es ' tablishment of a particular priesthood . —Leeds Times .

      A _Fiour at a _Ciiapei ,. —A regular row occurred on Sunday morning last , at the Primitive Methodist Chapel , Dawgreen , Dewsbury , in consequence of one of the mortgagees ( who is also one of the trustees ) having sold his mortgage to another sect ( it is said the Baptists ); and engaged to give possession to their preacher on Sunday morning last . This having got to the ears o'" the other trustees and Sunday-school teachers , they secured the keys of the chapel , and on the arrival of the minister and some friends an attempt was made to obtain them fcy force , wliich was the cause of a general vow . It is said , as many as seven battles were going on at once out of doors , besides the tumbling over forms , <& c ., in the school , the children running screaming home , and the teachers eventually ejecting , the intruders . The chapel was not opened for sendee until afternoon , when all went quietly on as usual , and the concern is now put into the hands of the lawyers . —Halifax Guardian ,

      Douglas _Jehrold ' . — Our friends will be glad to learn that this gentleman , the far-famed writer in Punch , & c ., is to take the chair at a soiree shortly to be held in connection with the Mechanics' Institution . On a similar occasion in Birmingham , he was most enthusiastically received by all classes of the people , and we caunot doubt that he will be most cordially welcomed in Sheffield . Mr . Jerrold will also be present at a soiree at Manchester , announced to take place on tho 23 Vd of October , and we observe _thatalready more than one hundred gentlemen—including many of the magistrates and other public authorities—are on the list of vice-presidents .

House of Parliament . What is it to us what statues are set up in , or omitted from , that place ? Our concern is with thc adornment of a totally different senate-house . But if we had to deal with the question , the omission of Cromwell out of a gallery of English rulers , because of his p ersecutions in Ireland , would be a piece of lamentable absurdity . "Why are they all _Cromwells ? In what respect was he worse than Henry , who planned the pirate invasion—than Edward , who made it penal to be an Irishman in Ireland , and

      rated the nie 01 a nauve at a nne of a few shillings —than _Uiehard , who granted the " entire dominion ' of Ireland for ever" to one of the minions of his pleasure—than Elizabeth , who made the fair fields of Munster a desert strewn with corses and ashesthan that cold pedantic tyrant , James , who stripped their lands from a fourth part of the people , as a highwayman strips a traveller of his purse—than his son , the false , soulless miscreant , who sold them justice as a fixed tariff , and having clutched the money , violated the terms of his unkingly bargain . For the overthrow of this man ( ludicrously called in some grave books a martyr ) , Oliver Cromwell _deserves well of the people of England , and of us deserves no worse than the rest of his class .

      THE VETERAN PATRIOTS' FUND . To . _inE _CnAiiTisis oi * the United Kingdom . Dear Friends , —I rejoice in the establishment , at last , of the two funds , viz ., the " Veteran Patriots ' FumV _' and the " Exiles' Widow and Orphans Fund ;" and although so late in thc day , I sincerely hope that every good Chartist will at once vigorously apply himself to the good work , lay aside all differences , discountenance all bickerings , and unite in removing the disgrace attached to our body , that we have so shamefully neglected those who have faithfully , zealously , and so long struggled for thc " Rights of Man . " Let it not be said , we cannot afford it ; the answer is , look to your Land fund , to which you can send upwards of £ 200 weekly . Look to the veteran Preston , who , for more than half a century , has

      laboured in the Democratic ranks , and now in liis 7 Cth year , with his aged partner , actuall y destitute of a bed whereon to . rest their aged and infirm limbs . I have frequently , with au aeliing heart , beheld their forlorn and impoverished condition . In addition to the above there's daddy Richards , ofthe Potteries ; Smartof Leicester ; Devenport , of London ; and others —men who-have , throughout along life , distinguished themselves as consistent advocates of a suffering people , Up , then , and bo doing ! Let it not be said these old men shall be sent into the damnable bastile—mayhap to cnaw the bones of their

      fellowcreatures . No ; that indeed would break their hearts ; for though now old and feeble , the flame of liberty still burns with undiminished ardour in their breasts . I desire that all monies suhscvibed for this purpose may he forwarded to the General Postoffice , St . Mavtin ' s-lc-Grand , made payable to Mr . Cooper , the secretary . And when I inform our friends that myself , as treasurer , and tho rest of the committee act perfectly gratuitous , they will feel desirous to save ns all the trouble they can . I am yours , in'the good cause , John Shaw , Treasurer . 24 , Gloucester-street , Commercial-road East .
