The Recorder, on Tuesday, made his report to the King

of the pri- soners in Neavgate, under sentence of death, convicted at the last May 'sessions all of whom his Majesty was graciously pleased to respite during his Royal pleasure except Andrew Morgan, Delom, Thomas -Fallen, Elizabeth Peacock, and Cornelius Driscoll, for fOrgteg a will, whose case was postponed for further considemtion.

A rare and atrocious case of robbery, terminating in the murder of the party robbed, occurred on Tuesday night, on the River, near 'Vauxhall Bridge. On Wednesday, Mr. Smales, a printer and sta- tioner iii Aldersgate Street, who was in the boat with the murdered party, have evideoce respecting the attack, at the Thrones Police Office. He and Mr. Wilkinson (the deceased), a natuagitig clerk to Messrs. Jacob, Hare Court, Aldersgate Street, hired a boat at Bleck- friars Bridge, at nine o'clock on Tuesday-night, intending to row up the _River for an hour, and to return with the tide. When themeached Vauxhall Bridge, they perceived two boats following, and keeping time with them; and when near the Spread Eagle, one of the boats passed them.

"We thought no more of it," said Mr. Smales, "and pulled a few more strokes with our oars, until we were about thirty yards from the Spread Eagle causeway ; when the same boat which had just before passed us came right athwart our boat with great force. Mr. Wilkinson immediately- exclaimed, 'We are foul of a boat here ; let us shove her off.' We acconliugly tried to get Clear of her; but we found she came further alongside as fast as we attempted to get clear. At that moment, one of the men in the boat made a snatch at our two coats, which were lying in the bottom of our funny, just beneath my friend's feet. The two coats were taken away, and, as soon aa they got them, they began to shove off. I endeavoured to lift my oar from the rowlocks to strike the man that took them, and made three or four attempts; but whether I struck hirer or not I cannot say. The boats had their heads to the tide, and were going rapidly away from us, When my friend made a spring from the boat we were an, and darted six or eight feet, and caught their boat with his hands. Ile clung to the gunwale, and struggled to get in and seize the -parties who had attacked us; but they struck him over the head and hands with their sculls, and he was compelled to let go. He then attempted to swim towards the boat I was in ; but he was again Struck on the bread, and failed in his endeavours to reach it. During this time, I put out a scull and an oar ; but could not reach him, nor was I able to make any way ; and my friend disappeared, while the parties in the boat rowed off as hastily as possible. During the whole of this business, Imo calling , Murder ;' and was at length answered from the shore by the jack-in-the-water at the Spread Eagle, who called the waiter, • and they both put off in a boat; but were toa late to save my friend, who was struggling in the water altogether nearly ten minutes."

Four men, who had been apprehended by one of the Thames sur- veyors on Wednesday morning, were confronted with Mr. Smales ; and he identified one of them, named Kennedy, as the man who made the snatch at the coats. Another, named Brown, he said resembled the man who was in the boat with Kennedy. It appeared that a boat had been stolen on Tuesday from a yard close to the public-house which the prisoners were in the habit of frequenting ; it was found on Wed- nesday at Nine Elms. The only additional clue to the discovery of the criminals is, some scraps of papers,—the gloater part of which were, it appears, burnt by the prisoners in a beer-shop in Lambeth Butts, on Wednesday morning, and which Mr. Smales has identified as the property of Mr. Wilkinson. Flack, a fellow produced by the four men as a witness, was with them when burning the papers ; and a warrant has been in consequence issued against him as an associate.

On Thursday, the body of Mr. Wilkinson was found close to the place where the murder was committed. It was lying in the mud. On examining the body, there was found a severe wound on the forehead, the nose and left eye were also injured, and the knuckles of the hand were cut. In the pockets were found six shillings, a bunch of keys, a pencil-case, and sonic other trifling articles.

A further examination of the case took place at the Thames Police Office yesterday ; but no material facts were elicited. The Jury that sat on the body of Mr. Wilkinson yesterday returned a verdict of " wilful murder" against Kennedy and Brown as principals, and against Kitely and Flack as necessaries.

Two men were brought, on Wednesday, before Mr. Sergeant Sellon, of Hatton Garden, by two sergeants (one for each) of the G division, charged with collecting a number of persons near the ClerkenwellStation.. house, by their recitation of a certain catechism called the Reformer's. The pious superintendent of the Gs, " conceiving, from the tenor of the Catechism, that the Established Church was likely to be brought into disrepute," ordered his two sergeants to seize the men and their papers, and carry them before the magistrate. Sergeant March described the offence-

" Butler asked Chapman , What is your name? ' Chapman replied, 'A Radical.' Butler went on—, Who gave you that name? ' Chapman responded, Public opinion, and the enlightened !age, when I was made a member of refor- mation, a child of the people, and an inheritor of the land of locusts.' The Re- former's Creed commenced, believe in Lord John Russell, maker of Refiam, and rights of the people and in Brougham and Grey, his firm supporters.' Then came the comman;lments—' Thou shah have none other Reform but Russell's. Thou shalt not make to thyself the likrness of any of the Tories that are in the Lords above or in the Commons beneath, or among the electors under the Commons. Thou shalt not bow to or agree with them, for we the people are a firm and substantial people ; we will hoot and disgrace the Tories unto the third and fourth generation in those that oppose us ; yet support with our thousands those that stand by its to gain our righta." Thou shalt honour Brougham, I 11-,sell, and Grey:and crown them with laurels, for the Bill they have given thve.' The respunse in all t:lese casiis was, 'Britons, arouse! and keep this law.' At the conclusion of the Tenth Commandment, the master says to his Now let us say, lighten our lankness, that we may see the cor- ruption awl oppression we labour under ; and aecetal its from all attacks of Nosey and the rest of the Tories, for the love el' Ituasell, Brougham, and Grey. Amen.'" Messrs. Butler and Chapmau said they were not aware of doing any wrong in repeating their Catechism in the streets and highways.

Mr SerTNn SAlon--" Col' ;Pfr a mull of yersons i the street, even though it was nictly by waving an is a breach of the peace." The ceteehist and catechumen were dismissed, with a caution never more to ofland pious superinteedents' or collect crowds near station— houses. The Catechisms were detained.

The printer of them requested to know by what authority the Ma- gistrate ordered the detention of the papers.

Mr. Sergeant Sellon (with dignity)—" I have disposed of the case ; and if yom wish to act friendly towards the young men, you will advise them not to offend: against the law again."

Mrs. Sarah Maidon, of Little Exeter Street, Lie son Grove, brought her husband, Robert Mahlon, before Messrs. Hoskins and Stubbs, for assaulting and beating her on Monday last.. Mrs. ilfaidon, who carried i

an infant n her arms, deposed that her husband came suddenly home on Monday, and began to beat her.

Mr. Hoskins—" Wile, Mr. Maidon, do you assault your wife?" Robert the Bold—" Why, Sir, she wants to wear the breeches; and though the King (God bless brim!) puts up with it, I won't."

Mr. Hoskins—" But what do von say to the charge of assaulting and beating your wife?" Robert—" I say again, Sir, that no woman shall wear my breeches, that she shan't; and besides,A work very hard, and when I have just contrived to get something, she dips her baud into my pocket and takes all." Mr. Hoskins—" You acknowledge her, Maidon, as Your own lawful wife; and therefore she may dip into you whenever Ore likes.' Robert—" But she shan't wear the breeches, that's all."

Robert the Bold was fined two shillings, and dismissed to maintain his empire over his breeches as he best might.

A man named Dennis Nowlan was charged, on Saturday, at the Thames Street Police Office, with a most unprovoked and aggravated assault upon a poor female, a countrywoman and namesake of his own. The object of his barbarity stated, that she was on her way home, about one o'clock that morning, when she met Nowlan, of whom she had some slight knowledge, in Shakspeare's Walk, Shadwell. He pushed against her, and drove her against the wall; and, on her asking him what he did that for, he abused her, and swore that she should not leave him until she went with him to a public-house, and had something to drink.. She refused; Nowlan gave her a blow on the eye, which knocked her backwards against a door ; he then seized her by both cars, and beat her head in a violent manner against the door. She endeavoured to get away from him, and called "Murder, murder!" on which the prisoner knocked her down, and while she was lying on the ground, kicked her most savagely. The woman could with difficulty sustain herself at the bar while she made this statement. The Magistrate fined Nowlan 3/. to the King ; and in defect of payment, he was locked up. The com- plainant was then led home by two females, her neighbours. In the evening, she was sent for to a distiller's in Spitalfields, for whom she had worked as charwoman. In spite of her sufferings, she proceeded to Spitalfields, and was employed until five o'clock the next morning ; when she appeared to be suffering such extreme pain that she was sent home in a cabriolet: On her arrival at her lodgings, she was lifted from the vehicle by a policeman, and carried to her room; she lingered until nine o'clock at night, when she died.

On Thursday night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, as Jehn Douglas, police constable, K 279, was passing the end of the Match- walk, a low alley in Shadwell, he heard a voice which he recognized to be that of a girl named Catherine Harrison, commonly known in the neighbourhood as North Country Kit, and a most desperate character. Douglas proceeded up the walk, and knocked at the door of the house from whence the noise proceeded. A sailor looked out of one of the windows, but said he did not know what was the matter : he however admitted the policeman ; who proceeded up stairs to another room, where he found the girl and a coloured man, weltering in his blood. He had a severe wound in the socket of the eye, and another in the chest. There was a table knife on the table, having a very sharp point, and covered with blood. A doctor was sent for, but the man died before he arrived. The prisoner said she had not stabbed him, but only threw a plate at him ; afterwards she said she had done it with another knife.

About seven o'clock on Tuesday evening, two apprentices of Mr. Sperry, butcher, Rosamond Street, Oerkenwell, quarrelled in their master's shop ; and the younger, a lad about sixteen years of age, having been struck repeatedly, seized a large knife with which steaks are cut, and plunged it into the left side of his opponent. The wounded man was immediately conveyed to the Station-house, in Upper Rosamond Street; where he was attended by two surgeons ; and, although the knife has penetrated the body more than six inches, hopes were enter- tained of his recovery. The criminal was remanded by Mr. Sergeant Scion to the New Prison, until the fate of the wounded man is known. The quarrel which led to this result originated in a dispute about the ownership of a halfpenny ballad.
