If a body dies of Asiatic cholera , the

      Hood in the heart is a liquid : in this case , it was coagulated , as usual , in general cases . In Asiatic etolera there is great discolo-Tation during life , but here there was none .

One of the National Guards put down s half sovereign , which the prisoner Watte took up and paid for the drink , but oa receiving the change dio not attempt to return it to the owner . The prisoners and the . two National Guards came out together , when the change

      ksb asked for ( a « he , Dalton , Imagined from their gee . lures , as they could not speak English ) , but White refused , and a great disturbance was created , where , upon be went ap and said he was an oflber .

He alao found in another pocket 33 . Id ., which belonged to him ( White ) . —It . Louis Felix Adolpbe Dauteullle , through an Interpreter , deposed that he had just arrived fn

      London by tra'n and happened to meet the prisoners at tie corner of Fleet Street , when they took hold of his era , as well as that of his ftlend , and thsy entered a pubUchouse , when they prcpsted to conduot them home .

Accordingly they were watched , and he saw White pal something la his pocket . White resisted his taking hits into custody , and they both fell , be having his kseemnch cut . —Alderman Gibbs asked the prisoners what they had to say in their defence !—White replied that all the statement of their meeting the Nat'onal Guards , aai

      being treated , and the half-sovereign being put dowa , was perfectly true ; but he denied any intention of theft , for he gave the money back to M . Dauteullle—tie officer ahoak him and the change dropped . —Cartwrlght said that all his comrade had stated was perfectly true , — Alderman Glbbs : After hearing- the evidence it appears to me that your conduct has beea bad la the extreme .

Si . With xeipeot to Cartwright , he has only committed an assault in endeavouring to rescue his comrade , and therefore , without considering what their commanding officers would do hereafter he should sentence White to one mouth ' s imprisonment , and Cartwright to seven days . FWe take the fallowing from the Times : —]

      We are authorised to state that Private Frederick White , of the Grenalier Guards , who was convicted by thecivllp 9 weronthe 2 s-d init . of fraudulently appropriattag 2 « . 6 d ., the property of one of the Freach National Guard , will be dismissed from her Majesty ' s ser . vica for bis disgraceful cenduct , on his release frem the imprisonment awarded him for his offence . MANSION-HOUSE . — PoLTQiHt . —Heary Bramell , alias Henry Edward Bramell , alias Heary Beaumont , a surgeon , was charged with having married several women , all of whom are alive . —A gentleman , wko stated himself to be the friend of the family of one of the young ladieB whom the prisoner had prevailed upon to marry him , produced three certificates of marriage . ' The first stated that the prisoner had married Elizabeth Timley on

      the 25 tb of March , 1843 ; the second that he had mar . ried Emily Georgiana Rose , in Calcutta , in 1147 , iu the name of Henry Edward Bramell ; and in the third that ho had married Hannah Amelia Bland , in Liverpool , on the 30 th of September in the present year . —The Lord Mayor : So you know the prisoner !—Witness : No , but he has beea identified to my satisfaction . The csse , as regards the young lady with whose family I have been for several years acquainted , is one of peculiar atracity . Sue was no more than fifteen years of age , and was going out with her brothers and listers to India , in a ship in which the prissner was acting as surgeon . She is a young lady of high accomplishment * , asd upon the pas . sage the prisoner contrived to gain her affections , and to obtain her mother ' s sanction to their union upon the

      vessel ' s arrival at Calcutta . He represented to the family that his father had laUly died leaving him £ 5 , 000 , and he prodaoed letters , which were toe late found to be for . geries , confirmitory of the extent of the inheritance . By his address , by the production of false documents to favourable to bis views , and by the offer to settle £ 3 , 000 oat of the £ 5 . 000 upon the young lady , he made such an impression that very i title hesitation took place , aud upon hl « return to this country with his wifa , he abandoned her at an hotel in Liverpool . She is now with her friends in Devonshire . —The Lord Major : Did he make the mock settlement upen her ?—Witness : He actually settled the money , with all the necessary forms , upon the poor girl . I had been watching for his arrival , and he cams to the knowledge of that fact and got away ,

      However through Mr Dakln the ends of jaitlce are likely to be answered . In the course of my inquiries I learned that he had married Miss Timly in 1843 . He had , it ap . pears , gone down into the country aad set up businesses a professional man in the neighbourhood in which the lady resided . She had a small annuity , which was forfeited when she married , and the not only was a loser in that way , but he got hold of her clothes , furniture , and trinkets , ao 4 eold them . When he went to India be left her in London with an authority to receive his half , pay , aud then he went deliberattly to work upon his fellow-passenger ' s affectieni . Subsequently I found that ha had married Miss Bland , and I have every reason to believe , from the statement of a relative of his , tfeat he has left a wife and two children at Liakeard , in

      Cornwall . Some delay , however , must take place before we cm get the parses together . The base conduct of the prisoner has , I need hardly say , occasioned the deepest distress . —Elizabeth Timley stated that she was married to the prisoner on the 25 th of March , 1 S 4 I . She had ao reason to thiak that she was not his first wife . Her frknds were ia Devonshire , but they would come to town upon the occasion . —Hannah Amelia Bland , ia extreme agitation , stated that she was married to the prisoner ia the parish church of St Paul , Liverpool , on the 30 : b . of September last . He represented to her at the time that he was a single gentleman , and she lived with him up to the period of his apprehension on the morning of Saturday last . —Mr Dakin laid that the prisoner had represented to him that he had been disap . pointed ia nil expectation of an advance of money from

      the captain of the Tetsel , and that he was in want of £ & , which the witness believing to ba a true statement , handed to him . It waa , however , ascertained that though the prisoner bad been in treaty with the captain to go ou : as surgeon In the ship , the negotiation was at an eni before Mr Dakin was applied to for the money . — The prisoner here said that his agreement te go out in the vessel was not nullified until after he had got the money from Mr Dakln , to that at all events tbat trans , action was nothing more than a debt . ( A laugh . ) ' I intended to pay tbat money ( said hs ) , and I do intend to pey it . Whatever may have been mj conduct in other rcspeets I had nc idea of committing fraud in that matter . '—It was stated tha * the prieentr was believed to have several other wives . —Remanded for some days .

      CLERKENWELL —A Heabtlibs Scoesdmx — Edward Martin , a young man of gentlemanly appearance and address , who was represented on the police sheet as a solicitor , residing in White Lion Court , WhitecrosB Street , St Lnke ' s , was placed at the bar before Mr Tyrwhitt , charged by Mrs Elizabeth Gregory , the wife of Daniel Gregory , labourer , residing near the Water Mills , Barking , Essex , with obtainlning money to the anumnt of £ 07 , by fraudulent means , under the Mow . ing heartlegg clrcamiUncet : —It appeared , from tha eudfcnce of tbsprosecutriz , that her huibard was em . plojed as a labourer in the Water Mills , near Barking , Essex , and , by their united industry and exertions , they managed to save a little money . She waVa distant relation ef Lady Eltxabeth Jane Hubert , deceased , and

      shehaddsouments in her possession which convinced her that she was entitled te the Golden Fleece and a large estate situate at Brentwood Eisex ; but the had ntt means to enable her to employ a lawyer to properly investigate the matter for her . In the month of April last the had occasion to come to London to tee her sister , who resided in Whiteohapel . They went into a public-house to have some refreshment , where the priloner and tome ether men were sitting together ; Bad her slster ' and'herself were talking about the estate at Brentwood , which wai overhead by the prisoner , whs introduced himself as a solicitor , and proffered his service to inquire into the subject , and obtain , if possible , possession of the estate for her , conditionally that she would

      pay the expenses . She glad ' y embraced the offer , and communicated the olronmatance * to ber husband when she retained home , and ( hey corresponded with the prisoner , who Immediately commenced his' professional ' exertions ; and , from time to time , he bad obtained Buns ef money , under pretence tbat he was pursuing tb . 3 inquiry in the Lord High Chancellor ' s offoe , < bo ., until they psrted with £ 67 . The prisoner , subsequent to their meeting at the publio * bouBe in Whitechapel , came to Barking aud visited her oottaje , when he pretended to be quite fascinated with her daughter , who had been injured by him , and he also made great promises to procure for her son a situation in the Lord CSanceK lor ' a offioe , got up a written agreement which was signed

      by witnesses , purporting tbat ke ihould perform varfcl ' datlei , & £ ., but it was needless to say that the situation was never obtained . Tfae prisoner had written her letters , appointing to meet her at a coffie . ebop In Hand Court , Holborn , which he represented to be his offices , where she had parted with money to him . - Oj the 11 th August late she received a letter from the prisoner to meet him at a publlo house in Ctancery Lane . She went there , when the prisoner produced a letter of a very offioial ap . psarance , purporting to have baen atgned and sealed by the authority of the Lord High Chancellor of England , and that Mr Hyde , the Lord Chancellor ' s officer , was to accompany ber to Brentwood in a carriage aad four to take possession of the estate under the authority of the letter , and it wai all right , He made further

      application to her for mosey , and about a fortni ght ago she let Mm have 10 s which she raised with difficulty . She at length began tosuspsct , with her husband , that all was not right , and consulted with a respectable attorney , who , on questioning the proieoutrix and making inquiries , had no doubt that she had been swindled , and in consequence ef his advice she applied to the police at the itation . bouse in Bagnigge Wells Road , where Moss , 195 G . an active officer , was deputedjto trace and apprehead the prisoner , and at length he did trace him to be residing at Ne . 16 , White Lion Court , cohabiting with a woman , but he could never find him at home until stratig-em was adopted . He had applied for more money by letter on WedneBday week , when Mosb suggested tbat the prasecutrix should write a letter , promising to meet

      him to give him fifteen shillings , feeling assured tbat be would be thereto receive the money . He accordingly made his appearance when he wbb taken to the Btatlonhease . —Homerous letters were produced , which bad baen written by the prisoner to the prosscutrix Informing her how he waa proceeding ia theoaee and requesting money to be forwarded to him b y Post Office-order , and some of them In a peremptory and threatening tone if she did not answer bis demands ; She had parted with £ U 7 i 3 d , end other rami of leiser degree to the prisoner , under the representation that he would assUt her In gaining BOHesiion of the estate at Brentwood—Moss , 195 G , deposed that he apprehended the prisoner , when he asked him If the signature to the letter , purport , ing to be the Lord Caanoellor ' s , was geeuine . The pri . soner asked if he was obliged te answer tbat question . Wit . nets said , ' Certainly not . '—Mr Tyrwhltt cautioned the prisoner that he wag not bound to say anything to the charge at present . He should send the case for-trial

      eventually , but he would remand him for the produotton of further neceB « aryevidence . —Prisoner : I admit receiving certain sums of money from Mrs Gregory for certain purposes , and I made every inquiry in reference to the object * which Mrs Gregory spoke to me about as to the property she is entitled to , anil have examined many witnesses relative to that property . If the is dissatisfied I will return all the papers I have got , and , after nmuaeratlng me for my trouble , I have no objec tion to pay the difference , if It is not out of Ihe way . He bad paid off a mortgage . She had expressed a wish to him to make a settlement and abandon all proceedings , —Moss said that there was a gang of such fellows praotislng their imposition , and others had reoelved money from the prosecntrix . —The prisoner applied for ball to betaken . —Mr Tyrwhitt said he would accept bail , but it must be eemlderable .

      The Wat the Wohid WAOB .- ^ James Priddle , a half-Btarved little boy , eleven years of age , was placed at the bar , before Mr Combe , charged with having knocked at the door of Mr James Priddle , master tailor , of Wilson Street , Sray ' e Inn L * ne , under the following clrcumstaaces : —Mr Priddle , jun .. Bald that the prisoner was the illegitimate son of his father , who was lying very ill in bis bed , and the boy wsb in the habit of calling at tbe honse of witness ' s father and causing a noise and disturbance , wbereby his father was muoh annoyed ; and on the previoui night , at eight o ' clook , the prlsener repeated his visit , and knocked at the door , when , on being questioned , he said he called to see his father , and he was given iato custody . —Mr Combe questioned the boy , who said that he was Bent by his mother to

      kuock at the door to ask his father ( Mr Priddle ) for victuals . He only went to see his father , and get something to eat . —Mr Combe laid , the poor boy looked half-starved , and inquired whether the boy ' s mother was present , or anybody who knew anything about him!—A person present said , he was the illegitimate child of Mr Priddle , who had beea adjudicated to allow the mother a sum of money f « r his malntenaocs , but the mother bad married a man named Smith , a journeyman shoemaker , and they were la great distress , and they sent the poor boy to knook at the door for the purpose of obtaining money from Mr Priddle , who oocaiionally assisted them—Mr Combe referred to the Poor Law Act , and said that one of Its clauses renderei it imperative that if a man married a woman having

      legitimate or illegitimate children , he was legally bur . dened with the whole ef them , a&d bound to support them . He inquired of Mr Priddle , Jan ., if his father was able to attend the court '—Mr Priddlo , jun ., answered in the negative . —Mr C » mbe : Then the boy ' s mother and her husband must be sent for . —They subsequently attended , the mother having an infant at her breaBt , and they appeared : o be in great distress , and the mother , who evidently wanted nouvlsnment , cried bitterly whilst she was iu court . —Mr Combe explained the law to them In reference to the burden of the support of the boy falllBg on the husband , and questioned them as to their means of living !—Smith catd he was willing to do his best for the bay , but he was out of work . —The mother did not deny having sent the boy to Mr Priddle ' s for victuals , but oot to

      make any disturbance . They were distreised , and the bay and themselves bad just recovered frem a fever . — Mr Combe : ton must take the boy home aud support him —8 mith . —I will do the best I can . I can do bo more . I have got no bed or covering for him until I get work . —Mr Combe said , it would be impossible fir him to suffer ihe poor boy to return to them under the circumstances He thought Mr Priddle and tberaislves ought to enter into some arraaiements for the comfort of the boy . He then directed Mr Bayllw , the usher of the court , to take the unfortunate boy to St Andrew ' s workhoase , and to explain the oircumstanoei to the overseers , and tt quest them to pay attention to him , and to take care of him for tbe present , which was accordingly done . —The poor Hula fellow left tbe court looking thanks and gratitude .

      SOUTHWAEK—The 'FaibSbx . '—Ellzi Denton was brought before Mr Cottlngham obarged with stealing nine sovereigns from the person ef Mr W . Swaner Wslworth . —The cempialneat stated , that , being in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel on the preceding af ternooB , he went into a oi See shop , where he met tbe priioner and treated ter to some coff 'e . In the course of conversatlBn she told him that she lived in the Borough , and , as he was going in that direction , he invited ber to take a Beat in a cab with kim , as it waa raintag h ard at tbe time . They accordingly proceeded over London Bridge , and as they were going along | near St Geerge ' e Church he missed his purse , containing nine sovereigns , which was taken out of his trousers pocket , and as he had seen it a few momentB preparatory to his entering the vohlole with the prisoner ,

      be accused her of the robbery . She , however , having strenuously denied any knowled ge of the circurxstanoe he bad the cab stopped , called a policeman , and gave her into custody , and they all proceeded to tbe station house in the vehicle . Oa their arrival there , the cab was ordered to be examined , when the purae was found at the bottom of it with only two sovereigns in it , and on carefully looking through the straw ia the same plaoe one more sovereign was discovered , leaving six sovereigns still unaccounted for . There was nothing found on the prisoner , and the complainant added that she must have taken the purse and its contents and thrown them down In the straw In the cab when ehe found that be was determlnsd oa giving her Into custod y ; that he was convinced she Btillhadthe lixiowrei gni notwithstanding the striot Bearch she had undergone . The strong supposition

      of the prisoner being in possession of the six sovereigns was verified fr . m the fact of the sudden and serious manner in which she was attacked with illness soon after she waB locked up in the cell . Her groana being heard the female searchers hastened to her assistance , and found her lying on the fleorapparentl y dead and frothing from the mouth , and it wbb a considerable time before she recovered ; but even when placed at the bar the following morning her appearance indicated tbat she was extremely iU , and the cause was believed te arise from her having swallowed the six sovereigns . She , however denied such to be tho oase , and , in fact , deolared that she knew nothing at all about the purse or money whioh she wai charged with stealing . —Mr Cottlngbam said thtre was very little doubt in his mind but the prisoner had taken the money as described , and tbat , in order to secure a portion of it for herself , without the fear at detoc .

      tlon , she had recourse to tbe dangerous experiment of swallowing six of the sovereign ; but it wai not by any meatM a solitary instance of person , charged with crimes of a similar description rnnniBi the rl « k of losing their lives oy luch means ; and that , with the view of investigating the preBent case still further , he should remaad the prisonerfor a few days , and dlreottbat sheihouldbe closely watched while iu gaol-Remanded acoordiagly .

      The Edinburgh Chartist Trials have been appointed U ) take place before the High Court of Jusuriflry next month . One of the accused , John Grant , who generally acted as president at the meetings , has been missing for some days past , and Ins bail having got some doe to his retreat , they have set eff in pursuit of the fugitive . —Nonconformist . On Thursday week a horrible accident happened atHuddersfieId , inthe menageri of Messrs Hillyer and BaitGn , which was erected on the Bowling Green . A little boy of about seven years old , the son of Mr Warburton , grocer ( of the same place ) , was in the menagerie , and very foolishly offered a quantity of nuts to a large and savage baboon , which immediately seized bold of his arm , and putting his fingers in his mouth bit three of then completely

      off . The poor child struggled and shrieked , and as the keeper was running to the place with a stick the creatore let the poor child go , but not before he had torn one of his eyes completely out , and had lacerated his cheek in a frightful manner . The poor little fellow was immediately carried home , and when medical assistance arrived it was found necessary to amputate the fingers higher up , which painful operation the poor child bore with great fortitude . He is now out of danger , and it is hoped that with « reat care he will recover . Surely samething ought to be done to prevent occurrences ofthiB kind ; either the cages of such mischievous creatures should be placed out of reach , or else there should be cross bars in front of them . Mr Barton , one of the proprietors , immediately destroyed the animal .

His conduct had been good in that prison , but a special report was sent from Exeter that he and others had intended a breaking out of gaol there , by murdering the turnkeys , bu ; their intention was frustrated . —Dr Baly , the physician to the prison , stated that he first saw

      the deceased in March , when he was suffering : severely from fever , but he got well . He had afterwards a very severe attack of English cholera , ! but that subsided . In September , very violent ! TomitiBgcame on , denoting disease of the peritoneum , '¦ and he gradually sank , dying on Wednesday night , j A post mortem examination had since been made , i an : the dea'h was clearly attributed to tubercular inflammation of the peritoneum . No doubt the con- finement and depression of mind consequent on his ! imprisonment were the cause of disease and death ! Probably the English cholera accelerated the I disease . It shook him very much The jury re tamed a verdict of Natural Death .
