      _" "* QDEEX SQUAltE . _MovuiT—A _Xotceioos Impostor . —Ellen Smallman , « _lfc 5 itoU Watkins , a young woman on crutches , with herb * " ! so enveloped in linen bandages that lier face was _scared visible , was charged ivith bpgging . James light , KS B , stated that at a little after six on Saturday evening , he was in Queen _' _s-huUdings , _JBrompton , when he saw def endant go into a dark place and wrap bandages ronnd her head and right arm . She then placed herself on the side of tlie footway , -with a written label in front of her , on whieh were the words , " I am entirely deaf . " She hung down her head , and appeared to he very ill ;

      and prrsons who passed , commiserating her condition , leliered her . Witness then took her into custody , when she walked very briskly to the station , and appeared to lave suddenly recovered . _H ? took thc bandage from her ann , and lound that there was nothing tlie matter with it ; and , on _removing the cloths from her head , discovered avery fins head of hair , but no wound or injury of any _ilescription . Mr . Bond observed that it was quite evident that she was dressed up to impose upon the benevolent , and committed her for fo ; . rtoen days . Defendant , who nerer uttered a syllable during the examination , evidently understood every word , aud on the decision being given immediately left the bar .

      _VTGItSHIP-STREET . -JIos 3 . it . —As Aetfci . JDobgeu . —Charlotte Turner , a neatly-dressed and rather _dcniurc-loolung young woman , was placed at the bar , before Mr . Broughton , charged with having obtained , under false representations , the stun of £ 110 s . from her late mistress , the wife of a tradesman named _Mason , Jn _JUigli-street , _Slioreditcli . Ii appeared from the evidence of Mas . ilason , that ahout five weeks ago she engaged the prisoner as a domestic servant , having been previously assured by a person of apparent _respectability , named LoMlier , to whom she referred for a character , that she had served her for a length of time iu a similar capacity , and had given entire satisfaction _. After she had heen a few days in Ler service , the prisoner intimated to her mistress that she had just

      received the distressing intelligence of the sudden death of her father , which took place at Maidstone , and requested , as she was anxious to attend his funeral , thai she would advance her a small sum of money to procure mourning for Uic melancholy occasion . Her request having been at once complied with , tlie prisoner departed on her supposed mournful mission , and after remaining nearly a week absent , she returned home , and informed her mistress that she had followed herfather to the grave , and that thc sad bereavement had caused such a shock lojier surviving parent , that her death was almost momentarily expected . On the morning after th ? s announce ment the prisoner , with every appearance of horror and agitation , communicated to her mistress that she had been visited in the night by the apparition of her mother ,

      and so earnestly entreated permission to pay another -visit into the country to satisfy lier mind npon the subject , that her proposal was immediately acceded to , and a . farther 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 expircdat the very moment she received the supernatural warning of the event , and that she had sean her laid by the side of her lamented father . After using every effort to soothe aud tranquillu . " the unhappy orphan , _apparenily to no purpose , _herheasvolent mistress was greatly alarmed at Hading next morning that she had

      absconded during the night , but after an anxious search she was at length discovered at a public-house in the City-road , in company of a man with whom it was ascertained sl ; e had been cohabiting on thc two previous occasions _vxhen she absented herself , and her mistress having also learned that so far from being dead and buried , both her parents were alive and in perfect health , she deemed it her duty to give the prisoner into custody for the gross imposition she had practised upon her . Mr . Hrougliton said that a clear case of obtaining money under false pretences had beeu made out against theprisoner , but he should remand her for a few days , as it was probable that other charges efa similar description would be brought forward .

      SOUTHWARK . _"Wednesdat . —Extsaobdixabx Case . —Henry Joseph _Killerby , a youth of seventeen years of age , apprentice to a printer in the city , was brought _before Mr . Cottingham charged on _Eusjitcios-wltli being the 'writes of anonjraous letters , addressed to several families residing in the borough of Southwark , threatening the lives of the parties , and also inclosing poison for the purpose of destroying them . Last week the clrarehwardess of St . George ' s parish , Southwark , made an application at this court npon the subject , and amongst others produced au anonymous letter _suldiessed to Mr . Strud , the parish clerk , the writer threatening to set fire to the church if he did not announce to thu congregation on Sunday some Tile _inciauations against the character of a Mrs . _Spriggs ,

      residing in "White-street , in the vicinity of the church . In consequence of the application to the magistrate , the officers of the detective police liave heen engaged in the discovery of the Affair , and the result of their inquiries - was the apprehinsion of the prisoner . The prisoner is rather a decent-looking lad , and on heing placed at the bar he evinced no fear or alarm . He was accompanied to the court by his father , who is a tradesman in 'Whitestreet , nearly opposite to tlie 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 , which was afterwards placed in thc hands ofthe commissioners of police , and that it contained a representation of the state of alarm into which the memorialist a _: nl _h-s famil y had been

      thrown in consequence of the threats of an anonymous writer . The document , which was signed by a brother of the accused , on being placed in the hands of the detective oflicers , was found to b _? ar a strong resemblance to the writim * in the anonymous letters , and this fact led to further inquiries , in the _course of whieh some writing of the prisoner ' _s was procured , which bore such a similarity to the offensive epistles as to crtate a very strong belief that he was the writer of them . Oa a recent occasion it was also ascertained that a letter had "been posted in the Minorics , aud that the 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 . D , 1313 .

      "My dear Elizabeth- —If you mix thc white powder 1 have enclosed in the letter , you will find it very delicious . It has come from France . I shall call in a few days . Mind jou mix the powder directly you receive it , and you will find that It has the flavour of the melon . " Mr . Co ttingham compared the writing of the note with a specimen of the prisoner's hand-writing recently procured , and remarked that the resemblance was certainly very strong . Evidence was here adduced that the powder contained in the letter had since been analysed , and was fouud to lie oxalic acid . Another letter was read by the magistrate addressed to a Miss JElizabeth Spriggs , describing that the writer of it was aware that exertions were made for a discovery ; that he was aware the officers were in search of him , aud had seen them on the

      preceding night making inquiries at Mrs . Spriggs _' s , hut that he would foil tliem in all their attempts . That he was aware a reward _r-f £ 40 had _baen offered to discover the writer , but that if it was £ 1 , 000 it would not have the desired effect . The writer then expresses his determination not to stop uutil he has sacrificed some of the in . habitants of tlie parish , whose names hu inserted , for their olHciousness in attempting to discover tho author of the letters . Another note was also produced , tlie writer vowing vengeance against Mr . Cloater , for preventing his daughter from taking the powder . A copy of the prisoner ' s hand-writing , with tlie words "Miss Elizabeth Spriggs , " written tliat niorning , was compared with the superscription on the above letter , and was found to be a Tery close resemblance . Several anonymous letters were

      produced which had heen written to Mr . Kcwhla , a hop merchant , ofa threatening nature , aud one of them , containing poison , was addressed to his wife while he was in the country . The letter purported to be from a clerk iu Mr . Kemble _' s employ , describing that his employer had directed him to enclose Mrs . Ktmblc some powders of a very efficacious description , which he recommended her to take as soon as possible , and that tliey would benefit her hea . th . Thc chief part of the letters had heen dropped in Mr . Komble ' s own letterbox , until the writer finding a watch was kept there , then regularly posted them . Fortunately Mr . Kemble did not adopt the advice contained in the note , and other threatening letters were

      sent , when the infamous writer found his plan frustrated . Mr . Bowling , chemist and druggist , of Kent-street , produced some threatening epistles which ho also received , in consequence of his heiug one of the parishioners who had recommended a reward of & S 0 for the discovery of the writer . The language in the letters was of a most infamous description . Mr . Cottingham asked the prisoner whether he wished to say any tiling at the present stage of tlie 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 until Monday , but that he had no objection to accept of two sureties of £ 100 each for Ms appearance oa that day .

      _IfEIBAT . —Attempt at _Poisosiso . —Bridget Smith , described as a married woman , and about thirty years oi age , was placed at 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 lie was at play in the Cornwall-road , Lambeth , tho prisoner , whom he had not seen _before , came up to him , and asked him to take a parcel for her to JMr . Smith ' s , at So . S , Peer _' s-cooperage , near Waterloo Church . She then gave witness the parcel ( produced ) , desired him to leave it at Mr . Smith ' s , and to saythat the person who gave him the parcel was to desire

      Mrs . Smith to make tea , and that she would call and have _soaie with her , adding that when ha ( witness ) returned , she ( the prisoner ) would give him a penny for his trouble . _Witness accordingly took the parcel , and gave it to-ut old lady who came to the door , to whom he delivered th & _niessage , hut when he returned to the place Wiare he left the woman to get the penny , he found she _lotfntHi _^ * The _wi tness added that he had no _^ _mthaprisioncr was the person who sent him with the _^ ea & ai _^ .

      place in his _absence , lie expressed his surprise that such a parcel should have been sent to him , and , as lie suspected something wrong , he took it to a chemist ' s shop , and brought back word that there was a quantity of poison mixed with tho sugar , and that if they had taken _cny portion , it jnu 3 t have caused tilth * death . — Henry Smith , a man about thirty years of age , was then examined . He stated that he waa a charcoal-dealer , in the Cornwall-road , and that when the message about tlie parcel was delivered to him by his mother , on the evening of 1 ' riday , he took it to Mr . Handy , the surgeon , of the Waterloo-road . That gentleman proceeded to the examiuatioii of the contents of the parcel , and pro-. . .. . _» - . . . ...:....

      nounced that a large quantity of oxalic acid was mixed up with the sugai . Mr . Cottingham asked the witness if he liad previously been acquainted with the prisoner , and ai to what her motive could have been in sending him poison whether _Xli' _-y had Quarrelled , or that she had ever made any threats against him?—Smith , in lvply , said that some time ago sho threatened to poison him . It further appeared thnt the complainant and the prisoner had cohabited together , and she had borne hi n a child . The prisoner asserted that she was lawfully married to the complainant , hut this he denied . The prisoner asserted her innocence , and insisted that the boy Hyatt , must be mistaken . She was remanded .

      THAMES . TtnEsnAT . —Ex . T-uor . Dij " Ai _; Y Ciiaugk of II . _vpe , — Samuel Hart , a grave-looking man , 50 years old , and nearly bald-headed , was brought before Mr . Ballautine , charged with forcibly violating the person of Mary Ann Dodd , his wife ' s sister , aged IS years . Mr . Pelham stated the case for the prosecution . He said this was a most painful and extraordinary case . The prisoner was a painter and glazitr , and lived in Greenwood-street , Mileend . The girl whom he was charged with abusing was a cripple , and had been afflicted with a disease of tliejiip from the time of her birth ; and one of her legs being shoitjr thau ihe other , she could not walk witliout the assistance of a crutch . When she lay down she could not rise again without a great effort , unless she was

      assisted . Some time ago the girl went to the house of her sister , the prisoner ' s second ivife , as a sort of domestic and to do needle work . On the night of Tuesday , the ICth ult ., the prisoner came home with his wife at a verylate hour . The girl was sitting up for them and let them in , and they all went up stairs to their bed rooms at the same time . The girl ' s bedroom was on the same floor , and adjoined the prisoner's bedroom . She slept with the prisoner ' s three children . At daybreak , on the morning of the 17 th , the girl was awoke by thc prisoner , who had obtained admission to her bed , and he then committed ths offence laid to his charge . The girl screamed loudly for help , indeed as loud as she was able , and the children awoke and began crying . The prisoner immediately 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 afl ' air until several days afterwards . The girl was so overcome with shame and fear that sho 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 tlie prisoner had abused her , and _bt-gged of them to obtain redress . Her father promised that 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 hun ( Mr . Pelham ) , and he advised that 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 . Theprisoner , with much animation , said the chaTge was false , and trumped np against him by the prosecutrix and her sister who had given evidence . He was a respectable and a moral man , and had never any idea of committing the offence laid to his charge . The girl had robbed him to a great extent , though he had supported and cherished her , and her sister Caroline was a common prostitute , who formerly walked Hishopsgate . He begged of the magistrate to allow liim 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 £ 10 each .

      Feidax . —The further hearing of the above case took place this day , when another sister of tho prosecutrix ' s , named Sarah Hunker , was called , who stated that the girl made tlie same complaint to her as shehaddoneto another sister ( Caroline Dodd ) , that the pr isoner had wronged her . The girl was then interrogated at great length as to her reasons for not divulging the alleged misconduct of the prisoner until ten dnys afterwards ; and , after a good deal of sobbing and sighiug , 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 the 17 th to the 2 Cth ult ., and that the day after she left lier eldest sister ' s ( the prisoner ' s wife ' s ) house , Mr . Hart came to the place where she was staying with her sister Caroline , with two policemen , and demanded a frock which she had taken away . The frock was given up . The prisoner was not taken iuto custody until Tuesday last , a fortnight after the alleged rape had been committed . She had previously seen her father and told him what had occurred , hut he did not know what to do . The prisoner was committed for trial , but admitted to bail himself in £ 80 , and two sureties in £ 40 each .

      A _JIisceeast . — The _Iicsiasitt op the Pook . — William Huzle , an ill-tempered though well-dressed fellow , residing at . 11 , Puriman-place , Stepney , was charged witli 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 tho whole of the period he had treated her with most unrelenting cruelty , not from any sudden excitement , but calmly and deliberately . On Sunday week he got a piece of rope , which he made up in the form of a whip , and on thc 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 hurst in the door , and heat her cruelly with the rope wliich he had _prepared . On another occasion

      she gave him in charge for beating her with a thick bamboo cane , which hc split to pieces on her person , but on his promising amendment before the inspector the charge was not pressed . Oa AVeinesday last he came home in iii humour , and d—d the infant who was crawling on the ground . She told hirn not to do so , as his curses would fall upon himself , when he followed her into tlie kitchen , drew her along by the hair of the head , and gave her sereral hlow 3 and kicks which cut and marked her severely . He neicr let her see the colour of his money , but left her and her children to star-e , 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 _wliJch she lived in the place ,

      the prisoner treated his wife with unremitting cruelty . On the previous Wednesday she showed witness her legs , which were all over bruises , and in gores of blood . The complainant was a most domestic woman , who nerer 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 scanty moans . John Pearson , liusbaud to the last witness , stated that on Saturday h _« saw a stick rise and fall through the window of the prisoner ' s house as if some person was heating anotlur iusiiU 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'tspeak of that , I'd blush to mention it ; ' twas a trifl . ' e—a mere trifle . I wish it had been more , poor

      thing , she subsists on too little . Tins little touch of generous sympathy and _unostentatious humanity thrilled through the court with an electric effect . —Mr . Ballantine ordered the prisoner to pay a fine of £ 5 , or be imprisoned for two montlis , besides giving security to keep the peace in future . The prisoner was locked up iu default . The worthy magistrate subsequently ordered fire shillings to be given to the complainant , and a like sum to tlie 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 cat it in peace . Give it all to tho 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 receive .

      CLERKENWELL . TnunsDAT . —Assault . —Charles Soamcs and his wife were charged witli an assaulton an old man . The prosecutor ' s head was frightfully lacerated , and the side ofhis face was swollen and bruised _rcry sadly _, lie stated that in the evening he went to the defendant ' s house and a * ked for payment of a sum of money that was due to liim . The woman answered him at the door , and first abused him in the coarsest . manner , aud then fetclieda poker and beat lum with it about tlie head . A police-constable was brought to

      the spot , but the prisoners had escaped , and itwas some time before their retreat was ascertained . Before being captured tliey made a desperate resistance , and the womnn kicked the officer so severely as to incapacitate liim from duty for some days to conic . The man's defence was that the prosecutor had induced his wife to get drunk in his house , and spend between £ 8 and £ 9 , and this caused her to become exasperated when she saw him in her sober moments . lie denied having done more than endeavour to save his wife from being , locked up . The prisoners were committed t _« the House of Correction for fourteen days .

      WORSHIP-STREET . TnunsDAT . —Tiireatesiso Letters . —Mr . Vann , a solicitor , attended before Mr . Broughton , accompanied by Air . Thomas Auvaclio , a master weaver , living in Manchester-street , Bethnal-green , in whose behalf he requested the magistrate to advise and assist liim under the following circumstances- —Mr . Vann stated that his client , Mr . Auvacbe , had { j _ivon some important evidence at tbe trial of James Tapping , ihe man who wa 3 executed at the Old Bailey , in the earlv part of the present year , forthe murder of Emma Whiter , a young woman to whom he had

      paid his addresses ; and after adverting to the fact which had been elicited during the preliminary investisation of that melancholy case , that the mind oi the wretched criminal had been in the first instance inflamed and exasperated against his unfortunate victim by receiving a number of anonymous letters impugning her character , the _| _Iearned gentleman proceedel to state that thc subject of his present application referred to a series of similar communications which had been sent to his client respecting a young person named Brooks , to whom he had for a considerable period paid honourable attention , and was sho : t- _' y to be married . The anonymous

      ""* Qdeex Squalte. Movuit—A Xotceioos Im...

      correspondence of which he complained dated its commencement from the very week in which Tanping was executed , and tlie letter having been for sonic time confined merely lo 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 tliem ; but tlieir _^ concealed author having lately * -iven 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 somo decisiro steps for the discovery of the offender , and obtained legal assistance for that purpose . The anonymous assailant , however , appeared by some means to have become apprised of the course he had .... J . 1 __» _ . j .: j . i .- -j-..:,: .. ...

      adopted , for on the day after liis client had placed tlic matter in Lis ( Mr . Vnnn ' s ) hands , lie received another letter of a very alarming tendency , in which the writer , after vowing the most deadly vengeanco against liis intended wife , expressed liis determination , should Mr . Auvacbe proceed any further in the matter , or attempt to raise hia hand or voice for the _young woman ' s protection , to lie in wait for him , and dash out his brains ; and concluded by declaring that hc was fully prepared to expiate the crime unon the scaffold ; and advised him to take this as a " serious and final warning of the author ' s intentions . The system of malignant and unrelenting persecution to wliich his client and Miss Brooks had been subjected , had occasioned the greatest apprehension and alarm

      B oth to themselves and tlieir respective families , and he considered his own and the young woman ' s life in dangor . —Mr . Vann then handed to the magistrate a packet of letters relating to the subject of the application , after perusing somo of which , Mr . Broughton said that tlic feelings of apprehension under which the applicant was labouring were certainly fully justified by the menacing tendency of the letters which had boon produced ; the Jast of which in particular contained a direct threat against his life ; and he should , therefore , order Fitzgerald , the warrant officer , to use the most vigilant efforts to discover their author , if possible ; and in that event he would instantly issue a warrant for his apprehension . The applicant thanked tho magistrate for his attention , and left thc court with his solicitor .

      Caution to tub 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 the remedy which is so well known as " Abcrnethy ' s Pile Ointment . " This excellent remedy for Piles has been established by undoubted proofs of its efficacy . Purchasers may be able to detect these frauds by asking particularly for " Abernetay ' s Pile Ointment" in covered pots , price 4 s . Gd . ( which is thc lowest price the proprietor is enabled to sell it at owing to the great expense of the ingredients ) , and observe the name of C . King is on the government stamp pasted round each pot . Sufferers from piles will not repent " ¦ ivini : the Ointment a trial . / i ,.., _n- _„ -,... T > ., „ . . „ -ST .. :.. _ . j _:.:.,

      Cnn . i > Muaniift . —On Thursday , ' Mr . Mills , deputy coroner for West Middlesex , held a protracted inquest at tlie Coach and Horses , Air-street , Hatton-garden , on tiie body of William Hill , aged six months . *—Elizabeth Hill , a very young woman , mother of deceased , examined : My husband is a glass-cutter , anil we reside at No . 20 , in this street . About eleven o ' clock on Saturday night last I left the baby well and hearty in bud , and went into Leather-lane to buy it some milk . __ It was then fast asleep . 1 returned in _lil ' teen minutes and found it dead in bed . The child was notboriiin wedlock , and my _prtsoiithusband is not the father of it . Ifc was born at my mother ' s , 13 , Somers-strcet , over the way . There was no one in the room when 1 found the child dead . I had not left it a

      quarter of an hour altogether . When Iwentout for the milk 1 left my husband in tlie room quite sober , and standing with his back to the fire . As I was going out , 1 asked him to go on an errand to my mother ' s , in _Somers-street , and he said lie would . When I came back lie was gone . When I took the child from the bed it made a strange noise in thc throat once , and then died . On passing my hand over its head , it had no cap on , I found on tho left side , behind and above the ear , a bump as big as the half of a goodsized egg , and a spot of dry blood on the cheek . I could see it was a bump from a hit . There was another reddish bump at the back of the head , not so large as the other . My husband was the lirst person to como into tho 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 ? " 1 answered , " Yes , for some minutes . " lie went and fetched Catherine Shepherd from my mother ' s ( my mother not being at home ) , and he said hc 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 , and said that it had died o ' f inflammation of the chest , and that tho bumps on the head were the result of convulsions . When the doctor was « one I said to my husband , " If you have done it , tell me . " He said , " I have not touched the child , "

      I afterwards said , in thc presence of witnesses , " You wicked wretch , you have killed thu baby . This its the night you long wished for . " He made no answer . — The Coroner : What did vou meau by saying to your husband , ** Tlie night you wished for is come ?"Witness : Because he frequently ill-used and threatened the child . About a month ago , in the midiile 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 told him 1 could not help its crying , and that if hc 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 thc 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 the

      calf of the baby's right leg . Tlic wound did not heal until last week . 1 took the child to Mr . Mullins , surgeon , who ordered me to poultice tlie 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 of money . After he had pinched tlic child I said to him , " How could you hurt thc 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 lie began to threaten it . Re once hit thc 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 against William Hill .

      Death of 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 oi Mr . Charles Anderson , aged fifty-three yeare . It appeared by the evidence of several witnesses that deceased had formerly carried on thc 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 been occasioned through bis ill-treatment , an inquest was held on Friday last only on her body , when there being no evidence to substantiate such a statement , thejury returned a verdict of natural death . This circumstance had preyed much upon deceased ' s mind , and his body was discovered floating on the llegent'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 .

      Diwrn from Oil of ALM 0 _J _* DS . ~ 0 n Friday aftert noon , Mr . William Payne , the City coroner , weninto a long inquiry in the board-room of St . Bartholomew's _Hospitalj 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-hill , Doctors ' -commons . On Friday morning , whilst the deceased was at work in the kitchen , she was seized with a fit of shivering . Mrs . Frauds 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 thc above hospital . A small bottle wns found _soan

      afterwards , whicli the deceased had been tasting from . There was a strong smell in the room of the essential oil of almonds . The deceased never spoke after she fell to thc ground , and died in ten minutes after her admission into tho hospital . Mr . T . Francis said , in answer to the coroner , that the bottle was his property . It contained a small portion of almond _flavonriiig , whicli was considerably weaker than oil of almonds . The deceased must 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 , "Thatthe deceased died from the effects of poison taken by mistake . "

      Death of Eam . SmcER . —Earl Spencer , better known as Lord Althorp , died at his country seat , Wiseton Hall , on Wednesday . He was born on the aOth of May , 1 TS 2 , and was , therefore , at bis demise in his 61 th year . He was married on the 14 th ot April , 1814 , to Esther , only daughter of Mr . Richard Acklom ; this lady died on the llth of Junc _^ 18 IS , without leaving any issue . The deceased Earl is succeeded in his title and estates by his brother , tho 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 fuom Starvation at _IIurbersfielo . — On Monday last , an inquest was held before C . Gleadall , Esq ., and a very respectable jury , on tho body of Mary Woodcock , aged fifty-three , who had died tlie previous Saturday , literally starved to death . Deceased had , tor the last ten months , resided iu a house with a man named Samuel Walker , and a more deplorable looking place cannot 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 stair 3 , and consisted of a bundle of shavings , no mat , blanket , sheet , or any kind of covering to it , except the wretched rags she wore daily ; the old man's bed consisted of an old rotten Hock bed , also witliout covering . Thejury returned a verdict of "Died from destitution and want of the common necessaries of life . "

      _Shaix Cromwell have a Statue 1— ( From the Dublin A a _« iw » . )—" Decimus" has sent us a heap of rabid trash , calling upon the Irish representatives to be in their places , and vote against a statue to Oliver Cromwell in the new English House of Parliament . What is it to us what statues are set up in or omitted from , tkat place ? Our concern is with ' the adornment of a totally different senate-house . But if we had to deal with the question , the omission of Cromwell out ofa gallery of English rulers , because of his persecutions in Ireland , would be a piece of lamentable absurdity . Why are they all Cromwells _« In what respect was he worse than Henry who

      planned tho pirate invasion—than Edward who made it penal to be an Irishman in Ireland and rated the life of a native at a fine of a few shi ' llim _™ -than Richard , who granted the " entire dominion of Ireland for ever" to one of the Sm rf h 5 pleasure-than Elizabeth , who made the fair fields of Minister a desert strewn with corses ami _« u _ than that cold pedantic tyrant , _JaSJTJJJ Jfcf their lands from a fourth part oAhe people _^ highwayman strips a traveller of his mirHhnn his son the lalse soulless miscreant 7 who sold them justice as a fixed tariff , and _haS-J _diSSedS money , violated the terms of his _unldnT _l _^ _Lln

      TIIE VETERAN PATRIOTS' FUND . To the Chartists of the United Kingdom . Dear Friends , —I rejoice in the establishment , at last , of thc two funds , viz ., the "Veteran Patriots ' 1 ' und , " and the " Exiles' Widow and Orphans Fund ;" and although solute in the day , I sincerely hope that every good Chartist will at once vigorously apply himself to thc 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 faithfullv , zealously , and so long struggled for the " Rights " of Man . " Let it not be said , we cannot afford it ; the

      answer is , look to your Land fund , to wliich 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 his 70 th year , with his aged partner , actually destitute of a bed whereon to rest their aged and infirm limbs . I have frequently , with an aching heart , beheld their forlorn and impoverished condition . In addition to the aboveUtere ' s daddy Richards , of the Potteries Smart of Leicester ; Devenport , of'London ; and others —men who -have , throughout along lite , distinguished themselves as consistent advocates of a suftering people . Up , then , and be doing ! Let it not be said these old men shall be sent into the damnable

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

Witness endeavoured to detain liim until the arrival ofa constable , but the prisoner struck at him several times with the choppers , declaring that lie would murder him .

      Sadler's Wells. On Monday Last Hamlet Wa...

      SADLER'S WELLS . On Monday last Hamlet was produced at this truly legitiniate theatre ,. for the first time this season . Mr . Phelps , of course , played the Danish Prince , and , "take him for all in all , " lie most ably pourtrayed the character . The _soliloquies did not please us , bnt in all the scenes where action is required , his performance was admirable . The meeting with the Ghost was naturally played , undisfigured by those attitudes and antics which others performing the part have exhibited , but which are not necessary to show the natural terror of agood and brave man placed in such appalling circumstances . The advice to the actoi * was admirably given . In the interview with _fyihelia ,

      the play scene , the closet scene when Hamlet meets his mother , and tho church-yard scene—in all ot those , Mr . Phelps won the _wcll-deservcd and universal plaudits of the audience . His acting in the closet scene where his father ' s ghost _cntera unseen by his mother , was fearfully like a terrible reality . Mr . Marston played Zacrtcs with much feeling . Mr . Bennett , as the Kina , performed the part right royally , and indeed looked " even- inch a kins . " Mr . Mellon _' s Ghost was unimpeachable , his exits were admirably managed . Mr . Morton plavcd tlio

      laithful friend Horatio well . Mv . A . Young played the "tedious old fool , " Polonius , with much quaint ' ness and some humour . Mr . Scharf . as First Gravemaker , had evidently formed a right conception oi the character , and acted _accordinaly . Mrs . Warner , as . the Queen , was of course faultless iu her pcrl ' ormancc . This lady reall y looks a qilCWI , llllll'll more so indeed than a certain other lady we could name . Miss Lobatt _, as Ophelia , plaved well in tlie latter scenes , but in the early scenes _' she was very defective , and certainly not the Ophelia of thc poet .

      lhe liouse was literally crammed to thecciims , a proof oftlie popularity ofthe present raanagenienr , and not less of the appreciation in which the p'aysoi Shakspeare are held by ' the million . " Wo earnestly advise our readers to embrace the opportui-jfy now afforded them of _witnessins this noble tragedy - .
