A somewhat odd scene took place at Union Hall on

Monday last. A Mr. An. derdon, of the firm of Anderdon and Bosanquet, bankers in Lombard Street, appeared to prefer a charge against two men, who had waited on him the night before, for the purpose of confining him to his own house as a lunatic. They had produced the warrant of a medical gentleman, which proceeded on the authority of the complainant's brothers, for the treating him as insane. Mr. Anderdon immediately gave his visitors in charge to the police ; and now proceeded to state his case to Mr. Chambers. He admitted that he was eccentric in dress and manners, and that he had been unlucky in some picture speculations; but contended, that he was not to be considered mad on that account, more than many eminent connoisseurs in London, who had been unlucky in their purchases. The object ef his brothers, he supposed, must be to prevent him from gratifying his taste in this respect, as they had declined his checks of late. Many of Mr. Anderdon', neighbours testified that he was, in their opinion, perfectly sane, though odd. The brothers were sent for, and the case was dismissed.

At Guildhall, an elderly man, a hawker of religious tracts, was committed for indecent liberties which he had taken with two girls belonging hie. charity-school.

A gentleman of fashion and fortune was on Thursday brought up to the office at Mary-la-bonne, at the instance of a man named Least and his wife. The complainants let lodgings ; and they alleged that a year ago the defendant called to look at them, and during his visit, violated the person of Mrs. Least. He then left the house and they had never seen him till a few days ago. The defendant protested that it was merely an attempt to extort money from him. The complainant exclaimed, that the defendant should "never go home alive." For these expressions he was held to hail. Mr. Rawlinson could make nothing of the charges. John Sims was examined at the Marlborough Street Office on Tuesday, on a. charge of having robbed the United Service Club of a considerable quantity 01 property.

John Wilkins, a private in the 3c1 Guards, has been fully committed for robbing Mr. John Ingram, of a watch, on Westminster Bridge.

A young woman was examined at Bow Street, on Wednesday, under singular circumstances. She had gone on Saturday last into the shop of Mr. Burrows, apothecary, High Holborn, and asked for medicine. Mr. Burrows recognized her as an old patient, and asked her how she did. She replied that " she WES dreadfully ill, but it was in her mind." At that moment, a man in the agonies of death was brought into the shop, and whenever the girl saw him, she exclaimed, " know all about it; he is poisoned ; I have done it; he won't live five minutes. The man did expire in less than five minutes. Mr. Burrows questioned her closely on the subject. She said she had long known the deceased, and had a hand in administering the poisonous draught that caused his death. Mr. Burrows gave her in custody. Mr. Halls remanded the girl, till an inquest had‘been held on the body. On an investigation before the Coroner next day, it appeared that the girl was insane; and that the man had died of apoplexy. A young woman was examined on a charge of having attempted suicide. She had gone into a coffeehouse in St. Martin's Lane, inquired for coffee, and attempted to swallow oxalic acid along with it. It appeared that she had heel' seduced and deserted, and had been driven by poverty to the attempt on her lite. She was recommended by Mr. 'Halls to the notice of the overseers of St. Ann s Workhouse,

Mr. Minshull, at Bow Street, was occupied yesterday with the investigation of

th umstances attending a very singular robbery. A lady had taken a house some time ago in Norfolk Street, Strand, but had not taken possession, though her furnittre was conveyed to it. Her servants were for some time lodged in a house opposite for the purpose of watching the premises but their vigilance was supposed to be unnecessary after the appointment of the New Police. On Thorsday it was discovered that the house had been robbed of 400/. worth of furniture. It is supposed that the thieves hed taken advantage of the periodical absences of the police to carry the articles to the River-side. There was no evidence to implicate any one.

Toe Leen TRIALS FOR CONSPIltleY.—We mentioned last week that the Special Commission at Cork had been adjourned on Tuesday week, in consequence of the inability of the Jury to agree on the evidence, as it bore on the cases of

Connors, Wallis, and Lynch, three of the prisoners under trial. The fourth was acquitted. The Juiy had retired, for the third time, to adjust, if possible, their

Joules as to the others ; when, after the lapse of several hours, the Judges diected that they should be sent ihr, and Mr. Baron Pennefather inquired if they lad agreed. Foreman—" We have been enclosed sixteen 'mere, and were your Lordship to confine us a month, there is no likelihood of our agreeing." Three of the Jurymen then complained of indisposition,—two, of the effects of hunger, eid the third of gout ; and the whole three were handed over to medical men by the Judge's direction. His doubts as to the reality of the alleged indisposition stem to have been appeased by the medical men in attendance; but the Jury were not absolved from their duty, till they had been again enclosed,—though, as it proved, to as little purpose as before ; and the increasing illness of the victim of gout made it at length necessary to dismiss them.

On Wednesday morning, when the-three prisoners bad been put to the bar, an affidavit for delay of trial was put in by their agents. 'Ile affidavit bore that Dennis Herreen, an exculpatory witness, had been removed by a member of the Police establishment, under a prchnise to restore* him when the prisoners might require his testimony; but the promise had been violated. Other witnesses there were for the defence, who had not yet arrived : and on these grounds, the agents applied for the postponement of the trial,—contending at the same time, that time prisoners were not, in law, triable at all, or at least not by the existing Coimmmmmis'dn. With the coesent of the Solicitor-General, the trial was postponed till next day ; and Mr. Baron Pennefather then remarked, that as this man Mermen's evidence had been stated, during Leary's trial, to be essential to his defence, the agents for Leary must be held, if the affidavit could be established, to have grossly mnisconducted their case, in not laying such statement before the Court daring the former trials. Mr. O'Connell then proceeded to argue against the legality of trying the prisoners again at the same Commission ; and after a great deal of discussion ime succeeded in procuring the postponement of the trial of Connors, Wallis, and Lynch, till the next Assizes.

When the Court met on Thursday, the Solicitor-General presented himself with an affidavit in reply to that which had been submitted to the Court on the previous day. The object of this second affidavit was to remove front the proceedings of the Crown, the imputations which the alleged removal of the witnesses for the defence tended to fasten on them. After a longdiscussion, the Judges decided that this affidavit should not be read. It was unaccompanied by a statement of facts, and might militate against the prisoners. The marked disclaimer on the part of the Crown officers, the Court held to be a sufficient reply to the original affidavit.

The Solicitor-General theta moved that John Burke, John Shine, and Daniel Bede, should be put to the bar. It was urged for Keeffe, that his defence was not prepared, as he had been arrested but two days bane; and the plea was admitted. After two challenges by Mr. O'Connell, and forty by the prisoners, the trial proceeded. Nowlan and Daly were examined for the Crown, and crossexamined by Mr. O'Connell. Nowlan identified Burke, but said ha forgot the other man's name; adding, however, that he was an honest man. ha the course of his examination, he said to the Bench, " There are many in for this trial that are innocent." Daly identified both the priseners, and swore that Burke was a Committee man. While this witness was under examination, Baron Pennefather called Mr. O'Connell aside, and told him that the information sworn by the witness on the day after the alleged occurrences in the tent at Kildorrey fair, did not contain the slightest allusion to the paper which Daly, in his evidence, on the trials, swore to have been handed about by Leary. Mr. O'Connell, on this, proceeded to cross-examine Daly on the subject of these informations. Daly said he swore them on the day after the electing in the tent, and that he told the Magistrates the truth : he did not know now whetlwr he told lies or truth, but told what he saw. Murphy signed the paper first, and Leary last. His informations being handed to him, he said, he thought " Pat Daly," at the bottom of them, like his scratch, but would uot for the world swear to its being so. The party, he said,

St which Burke was one, all agreed to kill the gentlemen ; but Murphy said that there were worse gentlemen than their own,—that Major Maxwell and Andrew llatwell ought to be killed, and that Mr. Daniel Clancy would give one hundred ponnds to have one killed, and two huudred pounds for the two. Witness could not recollect whether he was drunk. After other witnesses had been examined, Baron Pennefather charged the Jury ; who, in twenty minutes, returned a verdict of "Not Guilty." On Friday, when the Court met, the Solicitor-General stated that he had come to the determination not to proceed with the trial of any other of the persons against wheel indictments had been found for the conspiracy. This determination led been induced by two considerations one, the character of the evidence on which the prosecution rested; the other, an honest wish to give to the men still untried time and opportunity fully to rebut that evidence. The prisoners still untried should be allowed to return to their homes, on their giving bail to stand trial at the next Assizes.

lt was agreed that the bail should be the same in all cases, each prisoner in 1001. and two securities in 501. each.

The Commission was then closed. It is supposed that Leary and the others who have been sentenced to execution on the 14th of November, will also be liberated on bail. Mr. O'Connell has added greatly to his popularity by the domes he has made during these trials. There have been the usual proportion of outrages in Ireland during the last week. In the neighbeurhood of Limerick, the insurgents have in two or three

cases forcibly possessed themselves of arms, and bunted two or. three farm-houses. The Magistrates of Roscommon and Sligo have offered 780/. reward, in addition to the Government reward of 2001. for the apprehensiou of the radians who committed the outrage which we formerly recorded, on Mr. Shaw and his family.

A murder was committed last week, near Ballybay, by the second son of the Reverend Mr. Gillet, Rector of Tullycorbet. There had been opposition on the

part of some of the parishioners to the payment of tithes. The Rector's son, a boy of eleven, caused a gun to be loaded; went to the house of a Catholic recte•

sant, and shot a young female whom he found there. He was acquitted by a Jury on account of his youth. The Grand Jury have found true bills against six of the men charged with the murder of Hanlon.

On Sunday, a meeting took place at Youghall, to petition for a repeal of the subletting and vestry bills. Mr. O'Connell was present, and afterwards attended a dinner given in his honour. A similar meeting was held at Tralee, and attended by the influential proprietors of Kerry.

Mr. O'Connell, it is said, intends leaving Derrinane-abbey, to continence his winter residence in Dublin early, for the purpose of trying the Union question effectively before the public.—Limeriek Evening Post,
