Lotto TEYNHAM'S IavEner.—Lord Teynhain attended at Marlborough-street Office to prefer
a charge against one of his servants, for refusing to deliver up his livery. From the statement it appeared, that his Lordship being dissatisfied with the defendant, gave him notice to quit. At the expiration of the time, the defendant refused to deliver up his livery unless he was paid the sum of V. 17s. This his Lordship refused to do ; and, having no other mode of redress, he gave the defendant into custody. Tine defendant, in reply to the char-e, said, that he demanded a month's wages, and also a month's board wages. Cord Teyuham" I will pay you now D. if you will give me a receipt in full of all demands." " Defendant—" No, my Lord, I will do no such thing." Lord Teynham—" And then I offer you more than you have any claim for ; but I don't want any further trouble." Defendant—" I consider my demand on your Lordship to be more thau that." Lord Teynham—" Then I will pay you no more than what is legally due to you." Defendant—" Very well, my ford ; but I shall not take less than the sum which is due to me." Lord Teynhann—" I trust, Sir, (to the Magistrate) that you will compel my servant to deliver up the livery to my butler." Mr. Conant—" He certainly can have no claim to the livery." Defendant—" Oh, I am ready to deliver up my livery, for it is not worth a pound." Mr. Conant" You had better take the money which his Lordship offers to you." Lord Teynliam—" I wish you to take the SUM I now offer to you, and if you think you have any claim for the other, you have your remedy." The matter ended in the servant taking Of his livery, and refusing to accept the sum tendered by Lord Teynham. Caucurv AT SEa.—Captain Sampson Bragge, commander of the India free trader h'rancis Watson, was on Tuesday charged, at the Thames Police-office, with the murder of Lewis Sinclair, his steward, on his passage from Singapore to India. The evidence of Hugh Murray, the principal witness, Is to this effect. " I sailed from Liverpool to Batavia, thence to Singapore, and home to London, in the ship. The steward, who is now dead, also shipped at Liverpool. At Batavia the steward got drunk, and was turned out of the cabin. When at Singapore he took ill. We had nu doctor on board. The captain ordered that the steward's allowance of water should be stopped ; and inn a day or two after ordered him to be slung over the lee-side and the bow, to scrape the ship's side. This was done when we were at sea, aud sailing from seven to eight knots an hour. Tine steward was very ill in a day or two after we left Singapore. The captain stopped the steward's allowance of meat, bread, and food of any kind, and treated him with great cruelty from that time, until one morning when he had him dragged over the windlassend, and had him flogged with a stocking-full of sand, and afterwards washed the wounds with salt water. I saw tine man flogged upon the naked back and posteriors, and the wounds were washed with brine and pickle. The man was m-adually getting worse annul was ill-used by the mate, as well as the captain and the black fellows, lie had no allowance front the ship ; he had nothiimbunt what he got from the crew. I saw the captain kick him and knock hit:down on the deck. I saw the man about a fortnight since, when we were at sea. He was lying under the boat upon deck. The captain came up and took a capstan-bar, \villein he forced down the mau's trowsers, between the waistband and his belly, and pounded lain downwards ; he then raised him up and let him fall. The main cried helplessly ; Inc was crazy, and talked wildly. I saw him about sixteen hours afterwards; Inc looked like a starved man, and was, I think, endeavouring to get to the ship's bow, but he fell at the foremast. I went and lifted him up, and he died inn my arms." Much of this was corroborated, and other acts of cruelty were mentioned by another witness. The prisoner averred that the witnesses were giving false testimony. The Magistrate remanded him till further inquiries were made; but on Wednesday, both Captain Bragge and Mr. Peter Miller, his first mate, were committed to Newgate tor trial.
IngsAnerr \--A young man whom misfortune seems to have reduced to despair, was brought to Guildhall on Tuesday, because he had thrown himself into the
Thames on the previous evening. The case was stated by an officer, and then the maniac exclaimed—" If you bad not interfered I should have been quiet enough by this time !" Mr. Alderman Crowder—" There can be no doubt as to the state of ink mind. He must go back to the Compter for the present, and be
protected there." Prisoner—" I would have protected myself, if that man (pointing to the officer) had not meddled with me." The Alderman—" Do you mean by destroying yourself ?" Prisoner—" Certainly, I have no business in this world, and must, and will, go to another !" He was sent back to the Compter until sonic arratmements are made respecting him. Assau.vs.—Richard B'readcutt was sent to prison on Wednesday, from the office at Bow-street, charged with having deliberately assaulted two Irishwomen
in Kentish-town, with intent to murder them. One of the women it was neces sary to support while giving her evidence. The weapon was a poker ; and the violence with which the prisoner had used his weapon, was rather more clear than his object. Having heard the evidence, Mr. Minshull observed to the pri
soner—" If either of these women bhould die, (and there is no knowing how their wounds may turn out,) you will have to stand your trial for murder." The prisoner
—"I suppose I must take the consequence.' Mr. Minshull—" I shall certainly not take bail fronn you until both women are out of danger. Until that is determined, you still remain in prison. Prisoner—" It is all one to me : I shan't trouble my head about it." Mr. Minshull—" Have you anything to say in your defence?' Prisoner—" I acknowledge to have struck the women ; but I was aggravated to do so in consequence of their coming to my house, and heating and
abusing my wife. No man could stand it." Mr. Minshull—" I shall treat the charge as one which comes within the meanitp, of the act of Parliament which Lord Lansdowne lately introduced as an amendsment of Lord Ellenboreugh's act." The prisoner was remanded.

defence was, that her father and family being in distress at the time, she committed the crime for their relief. Her father received the plunder. The prisoner was remanded. -Teesm.—William Russell was on Saturday committed from Ilierlborough-street Office for stealing a painting from the passage of a gentleman's house in Carnabystreet. Though he was seen to take it away, he had the impudence to assert that a person on the street had engaged him to carry it.
The Lady Shoplifter, mentioned last tveek as having been held to bail for stealing a handkerchief in a shop in Regent-street, was discharged on Saturday, no accuser having appeared against her. Lady Charles Bentinck left her town mansion, in Park-lane, a short time since, for her country seat; and on her return orqhursday she discovered that a valuable gold watch, a quantity of jewels, and other articles, worth 300/. were gone. Suspicion immediately attached to William Phillips and Bridget Delaney, two of her servants ; and a search-warrant having been obtained, Goddard and Ballard went to a house belonging to Anne Delaney, the mother of Bridget, in Kendalmews, Manchester-square, and there found several chests full of bedding and wearing apparel, %vitt' other articles, most of which were identified; and the prisoner Anne Delaney was discovered secreting a box of jewels amongst some • coals. The three individuals named have been examined at Marlborough-street, and remanded till Tuesday.

A forgery has been discovered within the last day or two in the transfer of stock: It would appear that the fraud was effected by an individual representing himself to be the proprietor of stuck, and-standing in his name. The particulars, as far as they have transpired, are these :—The individual alluded to went to a broker, and desired him to sell out 300/. stock ; which was effected, the broker
• identifying the party at the Bank, in the customary manner, as the party ownisig
• the stock standing in the name on the Bank books. Subsequently, it is said, another sale of 50/. stock was made by the same broker, for the person before alluded to, who again personated the owner of the stock ; making the total amount for which the forgeries were committed, 3501. stock. The forgery was soon afterwards discovered.—Morning paper.
Maimouses.—A gentleman attended at the Union-hall Office on Thursday, before the sitting Magistrate, for the purpose of describing some particulars relative to the ill usage of an individual allied to a highly respectable family in the sister country, and now an inmate of a private lunatic asylum within the district of this office. The applicant stated, that his country residence adjoined a private madhouse, the windows of which looked into his garden : for some time past the juvenile members of his family have had their attention attracted towards this abode for the insane, by constantly observing a gentleman who stationed himself at one of the windows, and through the iron bars, made gestures signifying that he was desirous some one should approach within hearing. He was heard to complain of illoreatment on the part of relations, and to protest his own perfect sanity, not only in speech, but in a letter addressed to Mr. Williams Wynn, M.P. which be dropped in the garden ; and the present applicant believed his assertions. The Magistrate thought that the letter, however rational, was riot enough to prove • the perfect sanity of the writer; and he recommended the applicant to deliver • the letter to Mr. Wynn.
THE SILE-WEAVERS.—Two looms, the property of Messrs. Stephen Wilson and Sons, and one loom, the property of Mr. Cole, of Duke-street, Spitalfields, were cut on Wednesday night ; and an unsuccessful attack made upon the house of a journeyman, in the employ of Messrs. Buttress and Co., who, though seventy years old, made a determined resistance.
Muiterms.—The people at Blackheath were alarmed on Monday morning by the report that a man named Richard Lambourn had murdered his wife, and attempted to cut his own throat. It appears that the parties had been married about two years, but that they had lived unhappily. The wife had left her husband's protection, and gone into the service of Mr. Davidson, who is landlord of the Yorkshire Grey Inn.. About six o'clock in the morning, Larnbourn, entered the house, disturbing the people; and he was heard to exclaim, "I'll do it—I will." Several individuals entered the room, and were horror-struck at finding the woman on the floor with the blood gushing from her throat. She was lying with her head over his left arm ; and as a witness on the inquest (held afterwards) observed, Lambourn "held a knife in his right hand, with which he was in the act of mangling and cutting her throat." Another person "went towards him to wrest the weapon from him; upon which he drew it across his throat, threw himself on the lifeless body of the woman, and placing his fingers in the wound he had inflicted, tried to tear it open." • The woman was soon beyond medical aid. The wound which Lainbourn had inflicted on himself was severe, but not such as to place his life in immediate peril ; and lie was conveyed to Guy's Hospital. The Coroner's Jury found a vetdict of " wilful murder" against him. It is not the opinion of the surgeon, fronl tambourn's manner and conduct subsequent to the murder, that he is insane; Larnbourn himself has attributed his crime to the COIHIOCt of his victim.
Three soldiers of the 50th Regiment, and a man named Bond, were drinking deeply at Blackburn, on Friday night. They quarrelled, and when Bond went to the street, he was followed, and so unmercifully ill-used, that he was afterwards found dead on the street.
Suieloas.—An inquest was held at the Middlesex Hospital, on Saturday, touching the death of Louisa Matilda Smith, aged seventeen, who poisoned her self on the previous Wednesday. It appears that her mother died insane some months ago. The bereavement greatly affected the mind of the poor girl ; and • from being of a lively and cheerful disposition she became thoughtful and de. jected. On Saturday morning she purchased the poison, and in a few hours • after she was dead.
A laundress in Somers-town, nearly seventy years of age, was found, on Tuesday evening, lifeleas, with her head almost severed from her body, it is supposed • by her own hands.

On Tuesday evening, two gentlemen were crossing Battersea Fields, when they observed the deceased pull two pistols out of his pocket, and, before they could reach him, he discharged one of them at his head, and expired a few minutes afterwards. The Jury have found him deranged.
