This case-occupied the . courtf . ir several hours , daring _vrliicUperiwJ a great number of witnesses were examined , but ihe character ofthe charge will be luucbietter-understood iuihe form of a narra--five . It seems that tbe prisoners Lake and _Boiven were -engaged as _-liters at the / _Eva _' algar Hotel , -Charing-• _crossj-the & rmer _Uavingheen-employed for nine _mou'Jie , . and-the lauer _. for as many weeks , at the period the robbery was - committed , » hi ? h was on -the _5 Sdi < rf Xo'emfeer of last year . At that time ihe _i-rtse-• cutor , who is -a -clergyman , residing in Wales , « _afi staying at the hotel , and on ihe day in question he _weutto-tue _Uankiag-house of . ilessrs . Giyn , _llallifat , and Co ., aud received change for a _^ lieek for £ 13 ( 1 , obtaining inpaymentoue _« _oteforJ 3 _ti , -aiidiae remainder hi notes

      for £ 10 aud- £ 5 each . . Tne _^ esecutor , upon his return Jo . thehoJel . -relledup . the _uove _^ aud placed them in his _^ portmanteau ; aad he then-went out , and on his return atnight he discovered that _iis portmanteau had heen opened , and . ihattlie whole of the money had been _abstracted . The nap _^ Homing Uie prosecutor gave _information of _hisJess ' / Wtior scree rinie uoclue was obtained io . tbe . perpetrator | of the robbery . The numbers and dates of-the sttfca notes were , of course , readily and correctly obtained from . the _ianking-house , and the _inquiries which were set -oa foot led to sueh results as eventually brought the charge home to the pri-* mers .. The evidence _gainst the parties charged as _principals , fian . ely , Lake aud Bowea , was to the _fbllotvim * effect :: —It _appeared that on the night

      4 _hej-ohbetw was committed , Bowen , contrary to the _regulatious-of-the . hotel ,-went out about eight o ' clock , and did not . return all night ; aud wheu Talbot , the head « aiteratthe hotel , saw b & _ai in the morning , his appearance induced him to believe he had been out all night , and ¦ on his . challenging . him with it he denied the fact , and said that he was . ill . It _was shortly afterwards ascertained thatthe prisoner JJaucock had beeu dealing with _somestohu notes , aud as the prisoner Bowea was known io be on frieiidly terras with him , 2 nd had shortly before recommended him to-be employed as an extra waiter at ihe Trafalgar Hotel , -these circumstances , coupled with other facts , led to-the anorebension of Bowen , aud immediately upon Uicstep being taken , it was observed tliat thepri-oner Like appeared to be in a very excited state ,

      and apparently quite incapable of attending to business , and at length Talbot tlie chief water , was iuduced to tell him that-he _2 « li » ved & eni his conduct that he was concerned in ihe . robbery , upou whieh Lake at once admitted that he was , and told a very singular story as to his chare of the transaction . The story of lake wag that he bad been drawn into it by " Charley , '' meaning the prisoner Bewen , and that it was him who had first formed tbe pbm to rob Mr . Lewis , and that he had obtained a icy for the purpose of opening his portmanteau , -and ihat shortly before he held up a hey , -and said , "I iave tried this little gentleman , and it fits -Ur . . Lewis ' s poitinaiteau . " He went on to say Ihat on the day of therobbiry , the , 2 Sth of November , Bowen _vddthat when the head waiter went down to tea

      ihey would go and getihe notes . Accordingly when this - took place ih ?/ Jioth went up together to Mr . Lewis ' s room , and tbepnsoner Bowen gave liim the key , and told iim 10 go in aud . get the money , andhe said he would -wait outside , auditbeieard any » oue he was to get out . of the window and walk along the balcony , and so get . away . He -said _< hat be then went iuto the room , opened Ihe _boXj-aod took out the roll of cotes , and he then gave - them io Bowen , who shortly afterwards joined him in one of _tbejparlours , and told bim that he bad got £ 70 , and that there would he £ 35 a piece for them . He then said lhat . ucon hearing this he was very much alarmed , and wanted to _takelhe money to -the head waiter , and tell him that he bad found it on tlie mat close te Mr . Xe « is * s door , but that Bowen told him he should 310 * do that , and that he must net let the bead waiter inow every thing . Bowen then asked bim to Jead him soxie money to pay for a cab to go w _loadon-bridge-to see some one , -who , . he said , would give

      3 Ba » - bard . casb"for _^ he . notes , and he accirduigly gave Juaj _aourebillings _, and it-was arranged thei Bowen should go < Mr tateight 6 : elock , and : that he should then proceed tot & _e'City . for-the purpose of getting _thceash . The next HwcasagBowen told him -thathe bad . taken the uotes to ' "Bob Snow ;" Jit the Adelaide Hotel _. Xondos-bridge , and _lhatie was-toso ; tfcere . to get his share . Accordingly he went there on Xhe -Sunday following to the hotel , where he sawa -man who said that Snow had gone away with -the money . Jaaddition to this statement ofXake , it was prove * _t & al when Bowea was apprehended-by Inspector Otway lie asked if _iakewusiu custody , and oe bis being _itoldthitie was , hesaid that-Lake bad . committed the _rubbery , said that _hetold-him _thecs was only £ 50 , and if riEore money bad been -taken hemust . have kept . the rest .

      M Monday.—This Court Resumed Its Sitting...

      the month of May in last year , about which time the neighbourhood of the Borough of Southwark was tnrown into considerable alarm and excitement by the circumstance of a number of threatening letters being sent to different parties , and which contained menaces of the most diabolical description . The prosecutor in the present instance ' was a respectable tradesman , who had received a letter on the 18 th of May , in which a threat was made to murder him and burn Uis house ; and after a good deal-of investigation there appeared so strong a reason for believing that tbepnsoner was the writer of that letter , that the present indictment had been preferred _agf-inst him . The following evidence was then ter he

      addeocd _^—Mr . Cras Humble deposed that was _= a bflp merchant , and carried on his _businessat Xo . 82 , _tliglbstreet , 'Southwark . On the ISth of May he foMid the letter ( producedj on his desk . At that time fahn &*! lerby , a brother of the prisoner , was iu his service . l £ e placed tbe letter in the hands -of tke police . _—^ Edward Ookn Tyler deposed that be was a printer , in rjicemploy of Messrs .

The jury , after -a -short deliberation , returned a verdict of . Nor Guilty . Mr . _Jlodkin tten said tlitra were two otlier indictments a _^ _s-inst _tths prisoner , -imputing to hiui the offence of attempting- to admiuistev poison , in oue in--staiice to _the-wife-ofthe _proseoiior in tlie former case ,

      and in tbe other . to _« little girl -eight years of age . 1 he -poison , _whfch-consiitiedof a quantity of oxalic acid , was -sent , in _betli-iustaur-es _, in letters , -and he was bound to state , tout-he-could * iotcarry the _^ evidence as to the handwriting n * ay further than in ' . tha last case , and the only additional fact he could show was , that ihe father of the . prisoner was . in-the habit of usiag oxalic acid in his _business ,-asd * the prisoner had qp ] M > rtunities of having access . to it . The . Lord Chief _Barou-eaid he had not had an opportunity of looVnng at the'depositions in these cases , but , from the statement of theJearned counsel , itappeared that tliey differed very materially from the former one . It-would , therefore , be advweble that they should have

      an opportunity # fseeiug vdiat the facts were , before they - gave an opiuioc as to the _pisspriety of proceeding with the other indictments . Mr . Clarkson said the ease had ¦ stood over for two or tUrae sessions , and there hadbeen -ample opportunity of _feriiigiug * forward evidence to 'identify the handwriting of the prisoner . He applied to _-the-countto allow the prisoner to be set at liberty under tlie same baa , aRd he would be ready to attend on any -future -occasion if he should be required to do so . Mr . Bodkin had no _ojeclnoasi to tbis course , and be suggested that the disposal -of the other indictments should be postponed -until the next session . The Court said they did _not-see-any objection to this course , and the prisoner was thereupon discharged .

      • Chaeceor arsob . —George John lord , _Zo , printer , was indicted for feloniously setting fire to certain premises ia his occupation , with attempt to defraud the Imperial Insurance Company . The particulars of this charge bare Veen recently laid before our readers . The jury , after deliberating for about an hour , returned a verdict of not guilty . Tiie prisoner was then arraigned upon another indictment , charging him with setting fire to ihe premises of Mr . Allen , the principal witness in the former -case . Mr . Clarkson said tliat after the full inquiry that had just been concluded , he should not , as the facts would fee precisely tbe same , occupy the time of the curt by offering any evidence . The company for whom heand his learned friend had the honour to appear felt it to be their duty to institute the present inquiry ; but after the deliberate decision come to by the jury , they considered they ought not to proceed any further . A verdict of not guiltvwas accordingly- returned .

      Theft . —Mary Aim Ky e and Mary Wilson were indicted for stealing a quantity of wine and brandy , tlie property of Edwin Bryant , their master . Both prisoners were pronounced guilty . Judgment tn Nye , nine months ' imprisonment with hard labour , and on Wilson , six months .

Hamblin , of Catherine-place , CiiiiberweU _, where Mrs . Phillips , tlie lady in question , was on a visit . The case has been fully reported in this paper . On the prisoner's being asked jwbat they had to say in answer to the charge , Jones declared tbat she was innocent of any criminal intention . She was the wife of the other prisoner , and it was her duty to go and get the note changed when she was sent . Thejury after consulting for some time , found Smith guilty . A verdict of Not Guilty was returned in favour of theTemale prisoner . The former was then sentenced to be transported _beyond tbe seas for the term of his _natural life .

      MIDDLESEX SESSIONS

      Before tbe Assistant Judge ( Mr . Sergeant Adams ) , and a Bench of Magistrates . The January quarter sessions of the peace commenced on Wednesday , at the Sessions House , Clerkenwell-green . The calendar was Tatlicr heavy , containing the names of 115 prisoners for trial , 110 of whom were committed for felonies of the ordinary character . —Thomas MilUr , . aged eight years , and Henry Rowley , aged fifteen years , were convicted for stealing a wooden till , and the s _ tM of £ 1 Us . Old ., and two canvas bags , the propert- of Andrew Glass . The Learned Judge , in passing sentence , alluded to the corre pondence that had taken place between tbe Secretary of Slate for . lie Home Department and himself in his judicial capacity , relative to the class of juveuile offenders

      proper to be sent to Parkburst Prison , in the Isle -of Wight The prisoners now be _* bre tlie court were fit subjects for its walls , but Sir-J , Graham bad ruled otherwise . These children were just such as would ibe benefited b y its wholesome discipline , and had he tlie . power to send them there , they would be _placud iu a position to oarn their own livelihood and to become respectable _memburs of society . By the present regulations ; tlie one was too young , aad the offence of neither , of itself , warranted transportation , without which he had no power to send te _farkhurst . But be would in the present instance , notwithstanding the age-of the . purties , sentence them to transportation for seven years , and the government must exercise their-own discretion as to-sending them to Parkhttcet _* root .

Mr . James _ffitcliiu , of _Jvetrjagton-tenrace , _jhsunswick place , _Doverjaad , -stated tbat he . was . a gentleman out of business , and that to the best _of his recollection , on the 27 th of SepteEaber last , at about _4 ue _4 ' cloct :, the prisoner eame to him at the Hall of Commerce , . to ivhichJie was & _subscriber , and had him called . out . The _prisoner said Ihat he came _frooi Mr . Gibbons , who was known to -witness , for the banker ' s receipt for the _deposit -on . forty shares in the British and Irish Union Railway . Tiho _deposits were £ 3 per share , amounting in the whole to £ J , 20 . Witness believing that the prisoner wae duly authorised

      to receive the document , went to Mr . _Bron-n _, of Tbreadneedle _^ treet , procured the receipt , and landed it to the prisoner , who waited for bim outside the llall of temetce , and stated , upon being put in possession of it , that he had to go as far as Westminster , and would return in an hour or an hour and a half . Witness waited in anxious expectation , until fire o ' clock , but the prisoner neverreturned , and witness then went to the house of Mr . Gibbons , of Collet-place , at the East end , oil aud colour manufacturer , to ascertain what could be the cause of the delay . Mr . Gibbons said that he had neither given the prisoner authority to get the banker ' s receipt , nor even seen the prisoner at all upon the subject . The pri . soner disappeared altogether for _rome time , but witness , determined to punish * so flagrant a violation of honesty and good faith , never dropped the pursuit uutil he succeeded Is apprehending the stag . Ths prisoner was remanded .

      _WfcDMESDAT . —The Gpardi ± ns of the Poos . —Noble Cokdcct of the Loan Maiok . —Three young women , named Ann Carter , Joanna _Smith , and Jane Turner , were brought before tbe Lord Mayor charged with having broken a lamp opposite to the City of London Union in Cannon-street . The policeman who took the women into custody stated , that at half-past eight o ' clock on the preceding night be saw them tbroir stones at a lamp and break it . The defendants , upon being _geverallyguestioned by the Lord Mayor , said they had been long iutbe habit of working bard with a laundress who had . lately

      left that business , and whos * retirement put them completely out _« f work , and took from . them , the means'of support . They declared that they were well able to ear *» then * own bread , and all they required was the _emplcyment ; that they walked about the streets exhausted nnd hungry , and had , after having in vain attempted to obtain assistance at the West London Union , applied to the house iu Caunou-street , but were told by the person who at . tended at the deor that they could not seo the _superintendent or overseer _, b y whom their necessities might be relieved ; mi that , despairing of help of any kind .

      Afajrsjo.V-Hotfset Mosyax.—The "Stags".—...

      they committed the offence iu ord that they might 1 get food , although tliey knew _«»•< thoy would get punishment along with it . The Lord Maye , asked whether tiie defendants had made applicati an more than once at the West Loud union for re ! jef , aud to what parishes they belonged ? One of the defendwts said that she had been born in the _vcrj i < . e _' . _bowfcood of the City of London union , and th : i _, er parents were dead ; and the other two stated th « t they « Hwefroin Ireland , but had no friends there , ' aiviif they _were sent back to that country , they would , be . just as _Restitute as they were here , with the addit' umal evil of taving much smaller chance of being einpl- yca \ One of the girls said they hud been told , upon _es ' ni „ g yesterday morning at the West London Union to beg relief , that they must call again at three o ' clock , an / , upon calling at

      three , they wcre told tliey must call a gain at live , and upon calling at five , they wcre told the * / must call again at ten in the _morning . The Lord Ms . yor : And you are willing to work" The defendants - . Certainly ; wo are well able and willing , but what arc W e to do ? We can ' t perish iu tlie streets , gentlemen . ' The Lord Mayor said to Alderman _Farebrotiier , who _s'at with him and who has often in the same place ¦ exyressed his hearty condemnation of tlie treatment -lo which persons who had no vice but poverty to " be upbraided with were subjected , tliat it _*« s west -difficult for a magistrate with any _hcart-at * llCoi'ertrasnhis indignation at hearing such statements ,, for which he believed tlitve wns _1111-questionablefounilt'tioii . It was quite evident that the three young women . _baforeJtim wcre not such persons .-is

      should be sent -eiDker to _; a prison or a workhouse . He believed they wer < j able to work , and he had no reason to doubt _tfieirwiltiiigness , but all signified nothing . At tlie places _appointed for dispensing relief to those who were sinking -under want and tatigue , there were l ; ept porters who , like bull-dogs , growled and snarled at their appearance , and wbese principal _momni-ndation was doubtless tlieir . cap . iliility of terrifying the deserving objocts of public sympathy . —Alderman Farebrotiier said he tally agreed with tlie Lord Mayor in his lordship ' s observations upon tlie hard treatment to which the poor were exposed , aud he reprobated the palpable neglect by which their well-founded claims and demands upon parochial bounty were met . The case before the Lord Mayor seemed to be one calculated to impress

      upon any humane omen-the necessity of making inquiry iuto its merits iu a peculiar manner , and of affurding protection aud refuge until the result of sueh inquiry should be ascertained . He ( Alderman Farebrotiier ) thought it would be advisable to _ii"sue a summons to the superintendent or overseer of the West London Union to attend Guildhall Police-court , in which district the house was situated , to answer to the complaint . —The Lord Mayor : I shall send a summons ' _J to him to attend here , for I bave no idea of transferring a case of this kind to an office in which a magistrate , with views wholly at _variance with mine upon so important a subject _^ may sit to _abjudicate . I found eccasion the other day to make some observations upon the manner in which the affairs of the City of London Union have been transacted , to the utter carelessness and contempt which seemed to prevail amongst those in power , when investigation

      should take place into the alleged condition auu claims of applicants . I have received a letter from tbe board of _guardians , professing to be an answer to these observations ; but it is no _awsvev at all . Of that , however , hereafter . I hare now only to declare that nothing whatever shall either coax or intimidate me from the performance of such a duty as the conduct I every day see proofs of , in the treatment of the poor , imposes upon me in my capacity as chief magistrate of this city . —Alderman Farebrotiier : I fully agree with you in the expression of these sentiments . We unfortunately see , in our experience as magistrates , afflicting instances of the punishment of poverty as a crime _. These three girls appear to me to be strongly entitled to our compassion , and the keeper of the _Giltspur-strei't Compter will receive directions to take care of them until the necessary inquiries shall have been made .

Xeine , George Sampson , John Mason , Frederick llalph , and Lewis Gerhard were brought before Mr . Malthy , charged by the police with being gamblers , and with having been found in a common gambling-house , No . 17 , Castle-street , Leicester-square . The house in question is in appearance a coffee-house . The lower room is used . is a blind , and the upper rooms are used for gaming purposes . The visit ou Saturday night made hy the police is the second visit ofthe sort within a short period . The defendants ware a rough-looking lot . Superintendent

      Beresford , Cdiv sion , proved that the police hail received information , and that the proper legal steps had been taken to warrant their entry into the house . About twelve o ' clock on Saturday night he took a number of constables to the house , No . 17 , Castle-street , and after a short delay obtained an entrance to the upperro tm , where the defendants were assembled . There were no gambling implements visible , but some dice , cards , and boxes were afterwards found in various parts of the premises . The upper room was very difficult of access . The only way of admission was through a sort of trap-door , which » as secured inside by two strong bolts . Persons wishing to enter the room rang a bell , and if they were known , the trap-door was lifted up and they were admitted . Mr . Maltby iuttieted a fine on the ten defendants ct" 4 ( Js . each .

      WORSIIIP-STUEET . _Mondai . —Stabbing . _—Georgian * Dempsey , a neatlydressed young woman , in an advanced state of p egnaney _, was placed at tbe bar Before Mr . Broughton , cha -ged with cutting and wounding . 1 young man , named John Pitt , with a table knife . It appeared from the statement of the complainant ( whose lower jaw and one of his hands were covered with adhesive plaister ) , that while seated in the tap-room of the Queen ' s Head public-house , in Pittfield-street , Hoxton on Saturday eveuin _^ , the prisoner abruptly entered the apartment , nnd without uttering a woid or receiving the slightest provocation , suddenly snatched up a knife from the table , and stabbed at him three times in rapid succession . The first of the blows inflicted a severe gash in his lower hip , aud the

      prisoner then aimed a blow at his left breast , the knife penetrating completely through his coat and under garments , but he succeeded in warding off the intended mischief by raising his arm , and received a cut extending across all the fingers of his right hand . The prisoner was then secured by some persons in the rojm and given into custody , and witness was - conducted to the house of Mr . Packer , a neighbouring surgeon , who dressed his wounds , neither of which was , fortunately , , of a dangerous character . The prosecutor , after some hesitation , _acknowledged that he bad been living for some time with the prisoner , but tbat the connection had been broken off for some time , and she had since been in the constant habit of annoying him , and bad been the means of depriving him of his last

      situation . The prisoner , who was greatly agitated , _imd wept incessantly , said that she had lived for a considerable period with the prosecutor as his wife , but that he suddenly discarded her about three months ago , and to escape from ber importunities , shor tly alter gave her into . custody upon an unfounded accusation of felony , and _although the magistrate at once dismissed the charge , she ¦ was committed to prison in default of procuring _bail , as ithe prisoner positively swore that he went in danger from her violence . Having heard , on _hi-r release from prison , that he had been thrown out of _employment , and still feeling a lingering regard for bim , she sought him out

      _ooSaturday night to give him a ir . fling sum she had earned on the previous day , as a tailoress , when he _ussailed her with the foulest epithets , upbraiding her with _tliecisgraee and ruin he had himself brought upon her , aud excited her feelings to such a degiec , that she lost all command orer herself , and did nat know what the was te ' ng . Mr . Broughton said , that however much he might _sfeel disposed to compassionate the prisoner ' s situati *? , it could not be taken us a justification of the desperate conduct of which she had been guilty , and be must _therefore commit her to prison , until the additional evidence _necessary to complete the case could be brought forward .

      MANSION HOUSE . _Saturdav . —Aivfl'I . Destitution in the Citv of London . —J _. ine Clark and fifteen wilier destitute persons , including nine grown persons and seven children , came before the Lord Mayor to complain ofthe conduct of the authorities of the City of London Union . It would appear complainants had beeu sent to the ofliee in Cannonstreet , with an order from the Lord Mayor , for admission to the Union , the Mayor requesting th . it tliey might be allowed to remain there until something could be done for them . June Clark said they had gone to Cannon _, street , accovding to his Lordship ' s instructions , nnd Air . Evans had caused them to be sent to Peckhain ; on tilth arrival there tliey had some bread and cheese given to them . They were allowed to remain there all night ,

      but tliey had not been to bed , there was not bed room for them . There wire forty persons in a room . She had rested on a chair , others had laid on the table , and some on the floor . This morning tliey had a pint of gruel each given to them , with some bread , and just before eleven o ' clock they were turned out of the house , when tliey complained , and said it was the Lord Mayor ' s wish that they should remain until something could be done for them . Tliey were told the Lord Mayor had nothing to do with that establishment . The names ofthe parties who had turned the complainants out were Brace and Scott . The whole of the complainants having corroborated ( lie statement of Jane Clark , Jupp , au officer of the Union office , Cannon-street , said , he did notthinkeredence could be given to the whule of their statement ? . He did not know what to do in the matter . The Lord Mayor said he had expressed a desire that these destitute persons should he kept in the union until something

      could be done for them , and yet here they were turned destitute on the streets . Such proceedings were a disgrace to the City of London . He would see if " the Lord _Mnyoi- 'liad nothing to do with the City of London Union and its various establishments . The statements made should be enquired into . Iu the meantime he should again send the applicants to the office in Cannon _, street , and he advised them to behave quietly and respectfully , and if on Monday morning they were again turnid out , let them make their way to the Mansion House and he would see what could be done for them . A soldier ' s widow , with a family of three children , who formed a portion of the complainants , implored his lordship not to send them again to thu " Unijn _, " and his lordship most humanely undertook to forward the widow and her family to her friends at Portsmouth . The other applicants left the court with Jupp , who undertook to see the Mayor's order attended to .

James ' s Palace , named Tyrrell , was charged with an assault on the door-porter at that establishment . Mr . Huxford stated that ihe prisoner was a sirvant at the Palace , but hud been suspended for a month , and for . bidden the house for that time . The nioulh expiicd this day . Yesterday the _prisoner had an _interview with Mr . Singleton , the house-ste . vard _, at which he was dismissed from the service of the King . A . t about a quarter to five o ' _clock in the afternoon , he again came to the Palace and obtained admission . After loitering about the place for a short time he went away , and in about half an hour returned and again attempted to get in . Witness opened the hall door , and told him he could not be let in . He said he wanted to see Mr . Singleton , and witness said that Mr . Singleton had left the Palace , and he would

      find him at his private residence . The prisoner would not go away , and caught him by the neckerchief and attempted to force his way in . Witness was for a time disabled from speaking by the violence of the attack ; but as soon as he recovered himself he tailed for help , and his son and another person came to his assistance , and _libe rated him . The prisoner was then given in charge to the sergeant of the guard . Mr . Lewis for the defence said , that the prisoner being a servant at the Palace , and having a room there , had a right to go into the room . Any person had aright to use moderate force to get into his own room , and he thought it was not proved that any unnecessary violence hadbeen used . The prisoner was still 11 servant iu tha establishment , having received u month ' s notice , which would not expire until February . Mr . Twyfoid committed the prisoner for trial , with the understanding that if he did not repeat the assault the complainant would not press the charge .

William Heales , a cab proprietor , stated , that about three weeks previous , he let the prisoner have a cab to _drivv , and that , during that time , he had been very neglectful , and had driven into an omnibus , and damaged a cab . Instead of punishing him , he still let hiin drive , thinking he would do better ; instead of which , his conduct became _werse , and he used to bring the horses home bearing ev'dent murk _, of ill-usage ; and on the previous evening he came _lionii ;

      at the time to change the horse for the first time . The horse was in a dreadful state of sweat , and had all the appearance of having been hard driven . He was given 1 he fresh _hsrse , at a late hour in the evening , and the horse returned was in a worse state than the previous one . When asked forhismoney for the day , he was very abusive , and refused to give it up ; in consequence of which he was given into custody . The horse-keeper said the horse was covered with wales all over the back , Mr . Broughton said he had no power to punish in the case of ill-using the horse , as it w . is not clearly made out , but he mustpay his master for the hire of the cab . The prisoner said he only had lis ., which he reluctantly gave up , and was discharged .

It appears that the child was about one day old , and had apparently been born alive ; and it is probable that the body may have been two or three days in the river . Serious Fraud on the _Nkwcasti . i ? undeh-Lvuk Bank . —On Tuesday last , at the quarter sessions for the borough of Newcastle , Staffordshire , held before Sir Fortunatus Dwarris ( the recorder ) , Reginald Ayshford Wise pleaded guilty to the charge of having defrauded Thomas Kinnersley , Esq ., ot Newcastle , by obtaining under false pretences , on the 13 th oi

      Tue Mubder At Yarmouth. Examination Of Y...

      TUE _MUBDER AT YARMOUTH . _EXAMINATION OF YAKIIAM . After two remands , for a week oach , Samuel Yarham was brought up before a full bench of magistrates , assembled at the Gaol Hall , on Monday last , at ten o ' clock in the forenoon , on a charge of being a principal in the murder of Mrs . Candler . Mr . _Tolver conducted the prosecution , and Mr . S . B . Sherrington attended as his solicitor . A large concourse of [ leoplo _assembled in the street outside the gaol , although the examination took place two hours earlier than had been very generally announced by the authorities . Auiouust the crowd was Royal , who was

      acquitted at the trial last year lor the same _oftence . The examination was a private one , but we believe that the subjoined will be found a tolerably correct summary of the evidence adduced against Yarhain . The _superintendent of police narrated the particulars of liis attempt to apprehend _Yui-liam , and of his taking him at Blakeney , in Gloucestershire . The principal testimony against Yarham will be his owu evidence when admitted a witness against Royal , llall , and Mapes , and a conversation which Mrs . Dick , on oath , states _that-Yarliam volunteered to her " about three weeks after the trial . "

      It will be the object of the prosecution to prove that Yarham , when admitted approver , did not state the whole truth , which , if they Biiccced . according to the opinion ofthe Attorney-General , will subject him to a prosecution for the murder . Mrs . Dick adhered to tlie statement which she has recently , though not until today on oath , made , which statement we have recently published . Mr . Sherrington cross-examined Mrs . Dick on the improbability of her not knowing Yarham , having been examined in each other ' s presence before the magistrates on several occasions and at the trial ; on her talking with him for a quarter of tin hour in the most public part of the town , and making a confession , the effect of which , if true , jeopardises her own neck .

      A witness was called of tlie name of Sims , ahoy in the service of Mr . _Ilume , of this town , a chimneysweep , for the purpose of strengthening the statement of Mrs . Dick , as to the fact of any conversation at all having passed between her and Yarham . We understand that this boy failed to corroborate Mrs . Dick ' s statement as to the time when she alleges the conversation to have taken place . Tlie boy Sims states that he climbed up on tlie barrack palings the day after the murder ( not three weeks after the trial ) , and saw Mrs . Dick and Yarham in earnest conversation together .

      Mr . Catchpole , solicitor , was called , who proved that lie came liume from the Angel Inn , where he had been dining , about half-past one on the morning of the murder , and was let in by Yarhain , who was dressed . Yarham made no communication to him about anything having happened at Mrs . Candler ' s ( whose house , it will be remembered , was separated only by a thin boarded partition } , nor was he made aware of it undl the polite came and called Him up shortly nf'cr he h .-id been in bed . Yarl _. aniwent with him iuto the shop , and saw the body of deceased ; he said he Lid been awake all the evening , and had heard no noise of any kind .

      Police-constable Johnson , and ex-police officer Waller , proved the trying of Mrs . Candler ' s door ami shutters , and finding the body of deceased behind the counter , in the manner described by them at the inquest and trial . J . B . Bales , sergeant-atmacc , stated that the day after the murder he went to the Dcnes , _ where the money was found , and examined several foot-marks , some of which , on comparing them with Yarham ' s shoes , he believed to be his . Yarham had a small foot , and the impressions , from his ( Bales ) knowledge , from having been a shoemaker , agreed very much _nith the size of the prisoner ' s . The remaining part of the evidence , given up to half-past five on Monday , when the Court adjourned , was almost literally the same as deposed to on the trial .

      The exclusion of the reporters and the public is the subject of very general censure , and tends to increase the very popular belief that Mrs . Dick's statement is not to be relied upon , on account of its numerous and glaring inconsistencies . Committal of Yarham . —On Thursday , Yarham was committed to Norwich Castle to be tried as a princi pal in the murder of Mrs . Chandler in April last . Another Death from the Bursting of the Harki . _voto . _n * Waterworks . — We regret to state that another has been added to the list of those who perished by the biirstiii !; of the tank at the Liverpool and Harrington Waterworks , in Water-street . The individual whose sufferings have now been terminated was named Ann Devaney . She was the wife of Joseph Devaney , who occupied one of the illfated houses in Rock-street , which were destroyed by

      the calamity at the company's works , on Christmas-¦ liiy . Herself , her husband , and her son were taken from tbe ruins and removed to the Southern Hospital , in a much Injured state . The son died in a day or two after the accident , and , at one o ' clock a . m ., on Saturday morning the mother died . When first admitted she had contused wounds on the head , chest , and various other parts of the body ; and she was suffering severely from the suffocation she had endured whilst lying in the ruins . Subsequently she rallied a , little , and hopes were entertained of her recovery ; but she was seized with inflammation of the lungs , the result of her injuries , which was the immedi .. te cause of her death . Six persons have now lost their lives by the bursting of the tank ; the mother and son , as we have said , in the family of Devaney ; the mother and daughter in the family of Smith ; and the two women who happened to be of the same name , Catherine Gibson .

      Miraculous Escape . —A most extraordinary escape from death occurred at the Anneriy station of the Croydon line on Friday afternoon week . In order that the matter may be understood , it should be stated that the trains are now performing sixteen trips per day ont he atmospheric principle upon the Croydon line . At the above named station , a swim . ' bridge is placed across the atmospheric tube and line of rails , to enable persons leaving the locomotive train to get to the turnpike-road . On Friday afternoon the locomotive down train arrived at Anneriy , and passengers for that station were going away by the usual route . As there is no communication by means ofthe electric telegraph at this Suition , the

      atmospheric train was not expected ; when with lightning-like velocity it was in sight . The guards and other persons _^ seeing the imminent danger to persons crossing the line at the time , set up a loud shout , which so alarmed the passengers of the locomotive , that seve . al of them jumped out of the carriages . Amongst the number was Mr . Kent , carpenter , of Croydon , who slipped and fell across the tube , the train , which was travelling at the rate of sixty miles per hour , being close upon him . Death seemed inevitable , he made a convulsivo spring , and , wonderful to relate , the front part of the driving carriage hurled him on to tho platform , and he escaped uninjured .

      The Exeter Pirates at Dover . —The schooner Papucle Baptestn , of Azores , from London for Oporto , which put in here on Sunday week , is still lying _> n our harbour . This vessel has on board , as passengers , the men ( six or seven in number , wc believe ) who , at Exeter assizes , in July last , were charged with the murder ofthe crew of II . M . S . Wasp , on the coast of Africa , and sentenced to death , but who had been subsequently acquitted . —Maidstone Gazette , Tim Militia Regiments . —The total number of regiments in the united kingdom is 127 , of which 01 belong to England , 14 to Wales , 14 to Sco ' tland , and 3 S to Ireland .
