      HOUSE OP COMMONS— Eeubp of Destitute POOR ( Ireland ) . —Lord J . Bpsseix moved for leave to brin" in a bill to amend the acts passed for the more efectual relief of the destitute poor in Ireland , and explained the alterations he proposed to make in the existing law . The most important alteration he prosed was a maximumhoth . -with respect to the rate upon separate electoral divisions , and the rate upon the ag » re"ate divisions included in each union * T , mv « ion which , he admitted , was contrary to

      _ the general principle of the English Poor law , but -which was unavoidable in the peculiar circumstances of -Ireland at presont . He proposed t hat the rate should not exceed 5 s . in-the pound in the year in any electoral division without subjecting the other electoral divisions in the union to contribute to the extent of 2 s . in the pound . Mr . Stafford regretted that the government should have proposed to legislate piecemeal—that they had not embraced all the objects in one bill , so that the people of Ireland might know what they

      had to expect . In -i speech full of violent invective Mr . Gbattan imputed to Sir R . Feel , in his scheme for the settlement of Connaught , an apparent design to expel the-Roman Catholic and substitute a Protestant population in that province . Sir ft . Peel disclaimed in strong terms any such design , or anv sectarian spirit in his suggestions , which , he observed , had been greatly misconceived . After some further discussion between Mr . J . O'Gosxeix , Mr . O'FiAHBHTT , and Mr . Bright , leave was given . " — „ Encumbered Estates ( Ireukd ) Boa . —The Soucitoe-Gksehal then moved for leave to bring in a bill to facilitate the sale of encumbered estates in Ireland . The p lanproposedby the government was to deal with the difficulties of the subject by means of a Commission , that should perform the functions of the Court of Chancery , without the expense and

      delay attendant upon its cumbrous and antiquated machinery . It was proposed that this commission -should consist of three paid commissioners , empowered to frame rules , to be submitted to and sanctioned by the Privy Council of Ireland ; to require the production of titles , and to sell property in such proportions as they deemed fit , but only when application should be made to them by owners or incumbrancc-rs . It was proposed . that a conveyance should be jnaJe by the commissioners , by certificate , in a short iorru to the purchaser , which should be good a « ainti all the world , and be tho future root of the title . After some further discussion between Mr . J . SiPAiir , Mr . Keooh , Mr . TV . P . Wood , Sir Robert Peel , Sir J . Walsh , Mr . J . O'Conseix , Mr . HoRfcMAS , Mi > . Hbxley , Mr . Moxseia , and Mr . Bright , Leave was g iven to bring in the bill .

      The Solicitor-Gkxeral , after a few words from Mr . J . Stuart and Mr . Sableib , obtained leave idso to bring in a bill to enable persons having perpetual and limited interests in land in Ireland to make grants in fee or demises for a long terms of years . This measure was brought in as an auxiliary t" the Poor Law . amendment Bill . The other orders of the day were then disposed of , and the House adjourned .

      ( From our Third Edition of last wui . J FRIDAY , April 27 . H 0 F 3 E OF LORDS . — War is Sicily . — Lord Beabm'jot asked when the long-promised Sicilian correspondence would be laid before the House . He aisv wished to know if the government had received pay official information as to the atrocities which kid attended the recent capture of Catania . TheiLirquisofliASSDOWSB replied that the correspwxlence would be laid on the table as soon as the labour and difficulty of sorting such an immense mass of papers had been overcome . He had seen despuitiiesfroni Admiral Parker confirming the accounts which had been published respecting the sack of Catania .

      Lord Sianlei - complained that the Sbble Marquis made precisely the same answer ten days go . With regard to the atrocities committed at Catania , similar scenes occurred in all wars , more especially in civil wars , where the passions of the contending parties were exasperated . While talking of atrocities he miijht observe that a more meagre repjit Tfas never " furnished than that sent in by the British Consul at Messina , and he trusted that , after the experience which the House had derived from the £ rst set of atrocity papers , the noble Marquis was not about to favour them with a second batch . The Earl of- Aberdeen agreed in thinking the answer of the Marquis ofLansdowne most unsatisfactory , though it doubtless required the exercise of some jest-erity to manufacture the correspondence demanded by the House . Lord Eddisbcbt indignantly denied the insinuation contained in the observations of Lord

      Aberdeen . . After some further discussion , in wmch Lord Beouuha-- ! and Lord ISzsxo took part , Lord Beaumost said that he would move for some additional papers r «* peetiug the Sicilian question . The iuution was agreed to , and the matter dropped . Their lordships then adjourned . HOUSE Oi" COMMONS . —Metropolitan Poxice . —Lord Dudley Stdart wished to know whether the necessity which had been alleged to exist for keeping up the police rate in the Metropolitan districts : « .- its present amount still continued , parties having been led to believe a portion of this oppressive burden would be removed . Sb- Geokge Ghes replied that when the police

      rate was first put on in the Metropolis it -was eivhtyeiii- 'o in the pound , and was afterwards reduced to sixpence , the government making up the difference by a contribution of £ 90 , 000 from the Consolidated Fund . Last year in consequence of a Jiuw assessment of Middlesex producing sixpence in the pound upon a much larger assessment jian before , it had been hoped it might be reduced to fivepence , but circumstances which immediately afterwards occurred had manifested , he thought , to all parties the necessity of extending ihe police force , nor did he see the probability iktt this force could be again reduced . It must be if-iaembered also , that no fewer than 200 miles of .-iix .-ets had been added to the Metropolis ,

      and hence the necessity of a larger force for their . protection . A more equal assessment of the MetropoliB ,- £ gh ! y desirable do doubt , would produce a larger isvcaue from this source , a portion of which would •_' ¦) in diminution of the rate ; but a portion must al ? . {?¦» towards lessening the amount now contribiiL-jii by the Consolidated Fund . The 1 '^ o si Laws ( Ireland ) Rate is Aid Bill . — The He « n « j _ went > into committee upon this bill , upon the first clause a discussion of some length -took place which was not confined to the details of the bill , bul embraced the policy and principle of the measure . The amendment , proposed by Capt . Hoses , in iiie book of the clause , was negatived , on a division , byi'l to 28 .

      Mr . F'san moved i proviso at the end of the clause to eiijiilfl yearly tenants or lessees for certain tcnus , or subject to certain contingencies , to deduct the whole rate from their rent . After a long debate , first upon a point of form , and then upon the merits of the proviso , it was negatived on a division by 101 to 13 . Colossi Dtxm Moved nn amendment in the second clause—which enacted that the guardians of each mum bliall provide for the sum leviable on each electoral division "in the rate to be made on

      each eLecidral division—to insert the words " by a separate rate to be made immediately subsequent to" suds z .-. ic After ano : her long discursive debate , seasoned vith a few personal allusions , the amendment was negatived on a division by 113 to 35 . Upon thtf third clause Mr . Crawford moved an amendment , to constitute a national representative board in irelsnd , consisting of members elected fromboai-. h of guardians , with powers to direct the -disposal of monies levied for the purposes of the rate-in-aid , instead of the Lords of Treasury .

      The ccjmnittee divided upon this proposition , -which was negatived by 117 to 19 .-Slr . Arils moved a clause similar in principle to ibe pro * i = o sv-iposed . by Mr . Pagan to be added to the first ekiusu , namely , to entitle certain occupiers to deduct tLe full amount of the rate , under particular circumstances , from the rent due to their immediate iuidiords , which was negatived" "without a division . Ottii-r cla * j :- > e 6 were moved by the same gentleman , which met the same iate . Thebillo . ra 6 then reported .

      : 1 — ^ polifp . THAMES . —BrutaIi Assahct . —Thomas Fleming , a fell Irishman , a boiler-maker , was brought before Mr . Yardley , charged with an asuault and biting a woman named Eliza Brown , who , it was stated in the early part of the day , was in the London Hospital in a state of great suffering , and the prisoner had consequently been remanded till five o ' clock . The complainant then appeared with her arm bound up , and said she had cohabited with the prisoner ten years , and that he had lately commenced illusiii" - her . On Saturday nteht he came home very much intoxicated , and after no had abused her lay down on his bed , and when he was apparently asleep she prepared to go to bed , and was just about to lie down by his side when he suddenly made a bite at her throat , and she screamed out " Murder , " being in great agony . She put her right arm up to save her neck , and force his teeth from her neck , when he seized her arm with his teeth and bit a

      piece right out of it . He then said that he would " finish her before morning . She got from him and ran out of the house . The poor woman added that her " husband" was not in his right senses when intoxicated . —The Foreman of tho works the prisoner is employed at , said , the prisoner was a good workman and very industrious , but most outrageous when in liquor . —Mr . Yardley : Is it a fact that the prisoner has bitten a piece of flesh out of the complainant's arm ?—Gilligan , police-constable 185 H , said it was so ; and the people in the hospital declared the bite was more like that of a horse than a human being . —The complainant bared her arm : it was in a frightful state , a large piece of flesh having been torn from it . —The prisoner said he was very sorry for what had been done , and hoped the magistrate would overlook it—Mr . Yardley said he could not , the assault being a most savage one , and most abhorrent to human nature . He did not know

      that he was quite right indisposing of the case summarily , but at all events he should convict in the full penalty of £ 5 , and in default of payment commit the prisonerto the House of Correction for two months . LAMBETH . —The Rev . John George HounsfieW , chaplain to the Earl of Airlie , and who stands fully committed ; o take his trial at the ensuing sessions of the Central Criminal Court , on a charge of obtaiuing £ 200 from Mr . Masters , a meat salesman , by false representations , was brought from Horsemonger-lane Gaol for the purpose of putting in the required sureties to appear and take his trial—Mr . Ifewton , the barrister , appeared on behalf of the prisoner , and tendered as bail for his reverend client Sir Robert Price , of 11 , Stretton-street , Piccadilly ,

      and of Foxley , Herefordshire ( one of the magistrates for that county and M . P . for Hereford city ) , and Mr . Henry Dick Woodfall , of 14 , Great Dean ' syard , Westminster , printer . —A clerk to the solicitor for the prosecution said that the names of the parr ties tendering themselves as bail for the prisoner had not been given in until a late hour on Saturday evening , and the time for inquiry was therefore so short that the understanding was that the gentlemen should not present themselves before his worship before four o ' clock . —Mr . Norton said , he was perfectly satisfied with the solvency and respectability of the gentlemen offering themselves as bail , and their sureties having been taken in £ 100 each , and the prisoner ' s in £ 200 , the latter was discharged from custody .

      CLEREENWELL . —Late Robbery at St . Pancras ViSTRr Room . — 'William Jackson , a portly looking man , six feet high , was brought before Mr . Combe , charged at the instance of the board of directors of St . Pancras parish , with having committed a burglary in St . Pancras Workhouse , and stealing twenty sovereigns and £ 155 in silver . The prisoner , who had been a patient in Guy's Hospital , with a broken leg , ever since February last , was brought to the court in a cabriolet , and was supported into the presence of the bench by the officers with the aid of a pair of crutches , and his foot in a sling sus pended from his shoulders . He appeared to suffer great pain , looked very pale , and was allowed-a seat in a chair near the space allotted for solicitors .

      Mr . Howarth , the barrister , attended on the part of the parish to conduct the prosecution . —Mr . Combe asked the prisoner if his health was sufficiently strong and restored to have the case proceeded with ?—The prisoner replied in the affirmative , but he would prefer a postponement as he expected Mr . Huddlestone , the barrister , whom lie had retained to attend for him . After some desultory conversation it was resolved to take the necessary evidencfiSto warrant the remand of the prisoner , * when Mr . Howarth stated the case for the prosecution , which was a reiteration of circumstances which have already appeared before the public . It may be recollected that-on the night of the 8 th of February the strong-room in the workhouse where tho

      property had been deposited was broken into , and twenty sovereigns and £ 155 in silver were stolen ; and on the same night the prisoner was found within some area railings near the workhouse wall , where his cries for help brought assistance , and he was conveyed in a cabriolet to Guy ' s Hospital , Borough . Cn the following morning the robbery was discovered , some housebreaking implements were found in the washhouse , and near the spot where the prisoner made the alarm were found some skeleton keys , a large pair of list shoes , such as are used by housebreakers , and a dark lantern , Ac . There was little doubt that the prisoner was the perpetrator , oi the robbery , and having afterwards dropped from the workhouse wall fell

      within the railings and met with the accident to his leg , which was of a very severe description ; . but there was so much mystery about the ease that for sometime a few of the parish functionaries -were suspected , until a reward'was offered for the discovery of the cabman who drove the prisoner on the night of the robbery , and of the person who was attracted by the prisoner ' s cries and who assisted him ever the railings into the cab . They were at length traced , and on the prisoner being visited by the officers he was identified as a returned transport . —Mr . Henry M'Gahey was called , and deposed that he is son of the vestry clerk of St . Pancras . On the night of tlie Sth of February last he deposited £ 155 in silver and twenty sovereigns in a box in a drawer in

      the strong-room . On the following morning the cashbox was found empty on the floor , haying been forced open , and the property was missing . —Mr . Joseph Lye , compositor , of the Metropolitan-buildings , St . Pancras-road , deposed , that at about twelve o ' clock on the night of the 8 th of February last he was passing near St . Pancras Workhouse when he heard cries for help , and discovered the prisoner within some iron railings leaning with his back against the wall . He begged of witness to help him over the railings . "Witness asked him , " What was the matter f" and helped him over . He said that a man had thrown his hat over the railings , and on clambering over to get it again he fell , and had broken his leg . Witness said , " I had better ring

      the Workhouse bell , and obtain assistance . " He objected to that , and begged of witness not to do so . He said he had no business at that end of the town ; he had been drinking with some friends , and wished to avoid exposure , and would * thank witness if he would put him into a cab . With great difficulty he did so , and he was ^ driven away , —Mr . Howarth : How high were the railings?—Witness : Four or five feet - high . —Mr . Combe : Had the prisoner the appearance of being drunk ? Witness : He had the appearance of having been drinking a little , but he was not drunk . Ho was exceedingly agitated and excited . —Mr . Benjamin Lamberd , of Gray ' s-inn-road , one of the board of directors of St . Pancras parish , had accompnnied the directors to tho strong-room on the morning of the robbery , and found a crowbar and screwdriver , ifcC . ( nownroduced . ) The place had been broken

      into . —James Hale , an inmate pauper of tho workhouse , was called , but was too drunk to bo examined , and was ordered to stand down . —Jeremiah Lockerby , 180 S , being called , said , he had every reason to believe that he Bhould be enabled to produce sufficient evidence to substantiate the charge of felony against the prisoner if he was remanded . —Mr . Combe asked the prisoner where he lived ? --Prisoner replied , at Shirley , on the Romsey-road , Southampton . —Mr . Combe said , he would remand him , as he was anxious to have his legal advocate present , who , it was said by Mr . Howarth , was unavoidably absent . -He then remanded the prisoner , with instructions that all the necessary evidonce should be brought forward at the next and final examination . ¦ ¦ * - '¦

He had received a commission upon each advertisement from the newspaper in which it appeared ; and there , as . far as he was concerned , the transaction should have been at an end . However , " instead of adhering to that course of business , . it" was proved that he subsequently called upon each of the advertisers and received the amount of the insertions which he de-,, , , tai' monoyvbyjfyse jweteAees . j ^ . agente for . col-

      voted to his own purposes without any authority from the parties to whom themoney was due , and the discovery of this fraudulent mode of doing business was brought , to light when the bills were sent in from the newspapers in question . —The ^ necessary evidence to establish tho charges against the prisoners having been produced , and . their solicitor ( Mr . Roberts ) having contendedthat it was not sufficiently strong to come within the meaning of the act , the magistrate expressed Ms intention . to send the cases for further investigation , before another tribunal ; and in doing so , remarked that under the circumstances , as it was a bailable offence , he should adjudge the prisoners to enter into their own recognisances in £ 40 each , and two sureties of £ 20 , to answer the charges at the next sessions .

      BOW-STREET . —Charge of Conspiracy to Obtain Moxir fbom a Clergyman . —Patrick Hay and John Alves were brought before Mr . Jardine for final examination , charged with conspiring to defraud the Rev . , Cornelius Griffin , vicar of Hasclor , near Stratford-iipon-Avon , of money and securities , under pretence of procuring for him a chaplaincy to the Queen . It appeared at tho hist examinatioa that the prosecutor having seen an advertisement in the morning journals respecting a clerical preferment , wroto to No . 2 , Cannon-row , Westminster , where letters were to be addressed upon the . subject , and after several had been received by him he came to town ; and saw the prisoner Hay , who represented that he was related to Lord John Hay , wlto had the

      power of nominating to the appointment , the salary of which would be about £ 60 a year . After submitting his testimonials to the prisoner , a pr omiso was made that they should be laid before his lordship , and if sufficient money ( £ 600 ) was not at command , securities would answer the purpose , theresuit of which was that the prosecutor gave an . order for £ 100 , with securities for the remainder , upon promise that the appointment should be gazetted in a few days , previous to which the prisoner de ^ manded £ 23 10 s . as fees , which he . obtained ,. and the prosecutor seeing that he was'duped gave information to the magistrate , which caused the detention of the prisoner , who was in custody on another charfffi . —Mr . John Holrovd . secretary to the United

      Kingdom Assurance Company , proved that about three years back , seeing an advertisement in the morning papers from a person who could procure a secretaryship for a consideration , after receiving a reply , cameup from Yorkshire , andwent . tol 27 , Ipjenhall-street , which was theplace referred to , andwhich was called the "Calcutta Gas Light and Waterworks Company ' s offices , " where he saw Hay , who signed himself P . II . Bewail ; and after some conversation he paid a deposit of £ 25 for the situation in question . . The other prisoner was frequently at the office inquiring for Hay , and left letters for him . He had also frequently seen them together m the streets , and gave his services gratuitously in the office for twelvemonths , but he never could obtain

      any salary or his money , although they had often been promised to him . He had an interview with Alvos , as Hay ' s friend , upon the subject , and ultimately brought an action for the recovery of his money . On cross-examination by Mr . Lewis , he said he had over and over again signed his name to documents as the .. secretary ;" and consulted Captain Denny as to the stability of the company , but there was no meeting of directors , nor did he ever , see one at the office ' . —Sarah Gale , a servant , proved that she was employed by Mr . " Duke , the . proprietor of No . 2 , Cahnon-row , to clean the rooms , whichs were taken by a Mr . Wilmott , who , however , disappeared after a few days . The prisoners then occupied the anartments . which were fitted up as public offices ..

      She constantly saw the prisoner Alvcs , who went by the name of Nevill . The prisoner Hay , who assumed the name of John Matthews , delivered her a- paper on which were written the names of Hay , Piper , and Nevill , respecting the California Gold-office , directing she would take in all letters directed to those persons . The sign of the California Schemeoffice had been removea fronv the first floor about three weeks back , and that of the Crown Colonial Emigration-office substituted . After WilmOM went away his son came thejp , and letters directed to Mr . Matthews were opened by Hay , ' she not knowing at the time that such was not his name . — Lord John Hay being sworn , sajd ; I never saw the prisoner Hay before , nor had I any communication with him or any person of that name respecting the

      chaplaincy ¦ promised to the prosecutor . I need scarcely add that he is not in anyway connected with me or my family . —Mr . Griffin being , recalled , said that the envelopes of the letters he had received from Hay were impressed with the seal of ; the . Adjutant-General ' s office , with the royal arms . —Sergeant Thompson produced a seal which was recently stolen from the Adjutant-General ' s office , which he found at 12 , ~ Howly-street , and which Hay said he had had ; in his possession for the last ten years . iMofficer also produced letters and documents rejaJBg to several speculative companies—The Subufwny ' arcels Delivery Company ,- iHe " -City and -Wesfend Railway and Terrace C (^ pany , ^ hfr ^ reaji ^ Western Railway of Bengal , the British jjffi&tfifg Trade Company for the

Jardine /' aftcr perusing the documents , said they would afford the officer matter for further investigation , although they threw no additional light upon tho charge before him . His worship then ordered the prisoners to be fully committed for the conspiracy , and the priaoner Hay to be detained for obtaining money and securities under false pretences . — -The prisoners were then severally ordered to find bail in the sum of £ 500 , and two sureties in £ 250 each , to answer the charge at the Central Criminal Court .

      MAULBOROUGH-STREET . — Ailegkd . snAM Buriai . Socikty . ~ A widow , named DanieHsiandhcr daughter , applied to Mr . Bingham under these circumstances : —For ten years Tier late husband had subscribed to a burial society , and had fully paid up his subscriptions . When her husband died she sent to the secretary , and a person came and measured the body for a coffin , but nothing more was done , Four days after this she received a letter from the person acting as secretary , telling her to bury the body at her own expense . Some weeks after . this she applied to the secretary for the money due on the death of a member . She was unable to get a farthing , and was put off with evasive answers , On making inquiry into the character of this so-oalled

      burial society , she was informed that it was entirely managed by one person , and that it was more than doubtful whether she and others similarly circumstanced , would ever get a shilling . She now wished to know if she could have a summons against the secretary , to compel him to show cause why he refused to pay the money , and to prove that the society was respectablo . ~ Mr . Bingham , having looked over the book of rules and regulations , said he was not empowered to inquire into the character of the Burial Society . In the hook he found a rule , which required that all disputes should be settled by arbitration . He advised the applicant to call on the secretary to appoint an arbitrator . If this was not done , * than ho would issue a summons . . , "

      Sham Lying-in Institution . — James Locke , senior , and his three sons , Edwin , James , and George Curtis , were brought up for further examination , charged with having conspired : together with intent to defraud certain parties of sums-of money by falsely pretending to apply the money towards the support of a charitable institution for affording medical assistance to married females at the period of thoir confinement . —We gave the leading facts of this case last week . Several witnesses were now produced to provethe payment of money to the prisoner , on behalf of this fictitious institution . —Inspector Leslie said the house was very meanly furnished .

With regard to the charge that there was no institution in existence , there were ten midwives present who could prove that they had attended thousands of cases , and had received hundreds of pounds from the institution . Some cases had been attended to within the last fortnight Then , as to tho deficiency of funds , the midwives declared that was to be attributed to the stir made by Mr . Ryder m 1844 .

The institution was founded under the immediate patronage of her Royal Highness , in 1832 , and , by the payment of ten guineas , her ' Royai Highness became a patroness for lite .

      WORSHIP-STREET . — Attempted Mdrdkr . — Thomas Webb , an elderly man , was placed at the bar before Mr . Hammill , for final examination , charged with stabbing and cutting the throat of his wife , Sarah Webb , with intent to murder her . jane Taylor , the prisoner ' s niece , stated : The prisoner and his wife have lodged for some time time past in a back room of a house occupied by me and my husband in New Church-streot , Bethnalgreen , and while in bed , between six and seven o ' clock on the morning of Monday , the 23 rd ult ., I was awoke by a struggling in the prisoner's room , and a stifled noise in my aunt ' s voice . I immediately got up and ran to their door ,. which was fastened inside , and while endeavouring to force it it was flung back by my aunt , who rusned past me

      with the exclamation , '' For God ' s Bake , send tor a surgeon , he has cut my throat . " She was bleeding profusely from a frightful wound in . her neck , and inside the room was a large pool of blood at the side of the bed , and similar stains on other parts of the floor . -The prisoner was pacing hurriedly about his room , and upon my reproaching him for attempting to murder my aunt , he said , " She is dead , and it ' s all OYer now , " I immediately sent one of my lodgers for a doctor , arid upon , returning to my own room found my aunt sitting in a chair near the window , with the blood pouring in a stream from her neck , and I tied handkerchiefs round her throat to prevent her bleeding to death . I then attempted to fasten the door , to savcmyself from similar , treatment , but before I could do so the prisoner forced it

      open , and thrusting' in his - head repeated that his wife was dead . His wife was at that time incapable of utterance and apparently senseless , and Mr . Meeres , / the divisonal surgeon , arrived soon after , arid having dressed her wounds ordered , her to be carried up to bed . The prisoner and his . ' wife I believe , have always lived upon affectionate terms until . about a month ago , when he attempted to take his own life by cutting his throat , and was for sometime in the London Hospital , ever since which he' has at times , from some cause or other , talked incoherently . —Alfred Stokee , a brush-maker , said : I live in the same house with the prisoner , and having been aroused by my wife , who had . been alarmed by screams of " Murder , " I hastened down stairs , and found the prisoner stooping down wiping

      up a quantity of blood winch had trickled from under his door into the passage . I hurried out for a surgeon , and on my way past the parlour door saw the prisoner's wife in a chair , with her head hanging over the back of it , insensible , frothing at the mouth , and blood gushing out from a large gash in her throat . Upon again reaching the house my . wife and several other women were screaming terrifically from the windows , and as it was evident the prisoner was Hot in custody , I again started off for a constable to take him . —Sergeant Burnham said : The last witness having told me a man had nearly murdered his wife , I ran to the house and found the latter in the position just described , a largo pool of blood surrounding her , the carpet completely soaked , and her arms ana

      hands dyed with it . Upon being told that her husband had committed the act , 1 traced my way to his room by the tracks of blood along the passage , and upon reaching the door it was opened by the prisoner , who coofiy said , " I suppose you want me ; I have done it , and I am aware that she is dead . " There was a large quantity of blood about the room , some of it partly wiped up , but all quite fresh ; and upon searching about for the weapon with which tiieJtBt had been perpetrated , . the prisoner went to a «« upboard , and taking a knife , which had been recently sharpened and was much stainod both upon the blade and handle , from under a cloth , held it for W&me-time by the haft , and then , raising his arm , l&mbout to plunge it into his side , when I rushed upon him and held him until I had obtained

      assistance from several other persons who had entered , and after . a desperate struggle , in which ho tried all he could to keep possession of it , we at length succeeded in wresting it from him . —The prisoner's wife , who appeared to be in a state of extreme suffering and . exhaustion , was now supported into court by two female attendants , and having been placed in a scat in the front of the bench , said—The prisoner , who is C 6 years of age , is my husband , and though a perfectly sober man , has lately displayed great irritability of temper ? and threatened my life tnree times within the last four weeks , On the night of Monday , the 23 rd , ult ., we retired to rest upon friendly terms , and no quarrel took place during the night , but upon getting up the next morning , at seven o ' clock , I commenced dressing

      myself , and whilst doing so the prisoner came stealthily behind me , and placing his arm round my neck , so as to hold mo securely , raised his right hand , in which he had a shoemaker's knife , and stabbed me with it in the neck , the blow being caught by the edge of . the collar-bone . I struggled violently , and tried to disengage myself , but he still kept his arm round my nock , and was about to stab me again , when , I put \ ip my hand to save myself , and the blade cut two of my fingers to the bone . He then dragged nre down upon my knees , and drew the edge of the knife across my throat , from which the blood instantly poured out just as if from the spout of a tea-pot , i struggled hard , and having called out " Murder I" four or five times , at last succeeded in forcing myselt away from him , and making my way to the door , which I got unlocked , and while escaping into the passage I heard him say " You aro dono for now , " which were the only words ho uttered during the whole

      transaction . I then ran into art adjoining room , occupied by my niece , when I became totally insensible , and have remained ever since under the care of a surgeon . The witness added that her husband had been employed for upwards of fourteen years as superintendent of the shoemaking department at the Refuge for the Destitute at Hoxton , but having been recently deprived of his situation , in consequence of the breaking up of that establishment , ho had been since subject to occasional fits of morbid excitement and violence , although previously he had been always very kind to her . On being asked if he wished to : say anything in answer to the charge , the prisoner said . that he felt satisfied his wife or some other- person had . given him something deleterious which had affected his head at the timo ho committed the act ; and it being intimated that the surgeon who had had the care of the injured woman was hot in attendance , the prisoner was formally committed for the completion of the depositions .

      The Explosion i * i Back Ciiuncn-LA \ E . —On Thursday , Mr , Baker , the coroner , received information of the deatli of Mrs . Elizabeth Ann Bailey , the wife of an undertaker residing in Back Churchlane , contiguous to Mr . Key ' s saw mills , in which the explosion occurred on Tuesday last . It appears that at the time of the explosion the deceased was lookin" out of window , and so great was the shock which * she received that she died on the following mornin " , ni 5 o'clock . Another sufferer , Mr . Holt , of

      formerly a sergeant in the dragoons , upwards eighty years of age , whilst passing along , was struck by a heavyflag stone , andone of his legs was broken . Avoun * girl , named Selina Wood , was likewise seriously cut and injured by falling into the ruins , and it is feared that she will lose the use of her limbs . The woman who was found almost buried in the ruins , and who was removed to the London Hospital , is going on very favourably . An inquiry has been made with a view of learning how the accident occurred , but without success .

      ' Air Inquest was held on Friday before Mr . Baker at tho Rod Lion , JWty-street , Commercial-road East , on the body of Elizabeth Ann Bailey , aged 57 years , who died from fright occasioned by the explosion . Verdict— "Natural death . " It was stated that the other sufferers by the explosion were recovering from the effects of the injuries they had rer eeived . Charge op Conspiracy . —The Satirist Newspaper . —At the Bow-strceL police office yesterday , Mr . Ansell the registered proprietor of the Satirist weekly newspaper , and Miss S . Mills , residing at Montagu-street , Montagu-square , were charged with having on the 18 fch inst ., fraudulently conspired to obtain money from Mr . Henry ' Bevan . — Mr . Ballantine appeared on the part of the

      complainant , Mr . Hunter attending as counsel for Mr . Ansell , and Mr Lewis , the solicitor , for the other defendant . —Mr . Ballantine said the prisoners were charged under the 6 « fe t Vic , c . 90 . The complainant was a gentleman of fortune having his country seat at Twickenham . The female had without the slightest claim upon Mr . Beran , commenced a systematic attackuppn him . She had filled the situation of governess in tho neighbourhood of Twickenham , and had often seen the complainant , but no intimacy existed between them , except a bare recognition in passing . The first of the proceedings commenced so far back as September , 1848 , at which time she wrote to Mr . Bevan , reminding him of an annlication she had already made to him , that he

      would be her banker for the sum of £ 10 . This letter he did not answer , and on the 15 th of November , she wrote another letter to the complainant , asking him if it would suit his views to nave his immoralities with a third person ( meaning a married lady ) exposed to his wife and daughters—at the same time , threatening an exposure of his conduct in a well-known satirical journal , and that copies should be sent to the different members of his family . He afterwards received another letter from the same source , stating that the " whole affair " should be exposed to his family , unless he consented to give the writer the money she required . On the 31 st March an article appeared in the Satirist , in which an attack was 'made upon the character of a

      " wealthy Lombard-street hanker , " residing at Twickenham , &c , the writer having evidently thought that the present complainant was Mr . Bevan , the banker ; but in that he was mistaken . Tho tairned counsel having put in several letters from the defendants , in order to show to the court that they acted together , their common object being to extort money by threats , quoted the case of " The Queen v . Hamilton , " in which Baron Rolfe ruled that if reasonable cause were shown the parties concerned might be considered as acting jointly , and were guilty of felony in sending threatening letters for such a purpose . After hearthe evidence , Mr . Jardine fully committed the defendants to Newgate for trial , Ansell being ordered to put in bail , himself in £ 300 , and two sureties b

      £ 100 " each , and the female defendant in the sum ot £ 100 , and two sureties in JEoO each , to answer the charge at the Central Criminal Court . Warehouse Robbery at Manchester . —On Tuesday two young men , named Lear and Smith , were placed in the aock iit the Borough Court , Manchester , charged with breaking into the warehouse of Messrs . Eller and Company , merchants , Back George-street , and stealing therefrom three Bills of Exchange , one for £ 900 , the second for £ C 0 , and the third for £ 11 G 12 s . 8 d ., with about £ 5 in gold . The prisoner Lear , who is a packer , had occasionally worked for Messrs . Eller and Co . Police-Inspector Maybury took Lear at his house , and found in the attick , among some clothes on a shelf ,. the three bills of exchange . The prisoners were remanded till Thursdnv . the depositions being ordered to be

      taken against Lear . Mr . Beswick said Lear had once " before robbed Messrs . Eller and Co ., who declined to prosecute on that occasion . Mr . Beswick told them at the time if they did not he would rob them again , and he was very sorry to find his prediction had proved true .

      The names of the two persons in question weva exposed to the public gaze yesterday in the Place < lu Palais do Justice . A sort of scaffolding was erected without a platform , and on the top of two poles a t the corners might be read , in letters of nearly a foot long , the names , dates , and place of birth , and ages of the contumacious , together with the offences for which they were , condemned . There were about 200 persons collected round the spot , and at each of the four corners of the scaffold were stationed a party of gendarmerie to maintain order . Beyond , however , some few cries of Fio / e la Rcpiibliqua Democratique et Socials , which the gendarmes , as well as the crowd , received with a sort of good-humoured nonchalance , no other demonstration was made . The parties who were the loudest in their vociferations against the tynvnny . of . the government fov thus maltreating ce

      cherpetit hon homme , as , m the ardour of their fondness and their patriotism , they termed M . Louis Blanc , were the women who sell flowers on the same spot . These patriots of the gentler sex were indignant in the extreme ; and declared that the only way to avenge the insult offered to Socialism in the persons of two such deserving men was by flinging flowen in abundance on the scaffold , and thus doing honour where the government endeavoured to inflict disgrace . Heaven for . g ive me for the thought ! but I suspect that the female worshippers of the political martyrs were not entirely disinterested in the expression of their zeal . The opportunity was certainly a good one of making a handsome / profit ; and the Floras of the Palais de . Justice did certainly give a circulation to the coin of the realm , as ' their baskets were emptied , in a quarter of an hour . The police offered no impediment to the offering those tributes of gratitude . ¦ .. ¦• - ¦ : ¦ ¦¦ ... ' . . '

Advices from Neutra , an inland city on tho left side of the Danubo ( near Comorn and Picsburg ) , state that the Hungarian outposts were within sight of that town on the 20 th inst . This news , which is very unfavourable for the Austrians , gains some credibility by- the fact of its being mentioned by the Oes * terrehchische Correspondent , a semi-official journal .

The van guard had , two days before , been attacked by a few battalions of Danes , on Schleswig territory , had , pursued them across the frontier of Jutland , driven them into Colding , and , after a severe struggle , out of it again . Upon this General Bonin came up with the whole of the troops under his command , which , if we may trust private accounts , consisted of fourteen battalions of Infantry , two regimentsp £ Dragoons , and a corresponding force of light fieldpieces .
