Psalm's the most remarkable came which has been tried at the Spring Assizesis that of Wn.ussc STURT, who has just been acquitted of the charge of poisoning a widow named MARY Awn DAY, at Brighton. That the woman died by arsenic there was no manner of doubt. Dr. TAYLOR, who made a chemical analysis of the stomach after death, actually obtained three grains of solid arsenic, when two are fatal to human life ; and he gave it as his opinion that the quantity in the stomach alone must have been at least five grains. This opinion of the chemist was confirmed by that of the sur geon. Nor, indeed, was any doubt expressed either by the prisoner's Counsel or by the Loan Omar James, who summed up strongly in his favour, as to the cause of the woman's death. The only question which remained to be determined was how the arsenic got to the place in which it was found. In other words, when was it administered I how was it administered f and by whom was it administered f Theme were the pro blems which occupied the attention of a crowded court for a whole day ; and it must be admitted that they furnished the text for one of the most able and successful charges that has ever been de livered from the English bench. Chief Justice Coexist:ran has had some experieice in such matters. His reputation, great as it was at the time of PALMER'S trial, was increased by the con summate manner in which, as Attorney-General, he conducted the case for the prosecution. Nor can it be doubted that his reputation as a criminal judge will, if possible, be raised in the opinion of those who read the report of the case which has just closed. Henceforth, the prisoner who is really guilty will dread the presence of Sir A. Cocinunir on the bench, whilst the prisoner who is innocent will hail his presence with satisfaction. It seems that Wnissx STORY was a painter, about 43 jeers of age, living at Brighton. His wife was dead, but he had six children. Mier Awn DAY, who also lived at Brighton, was a widow with nine children. They had been in timate with each other for some years. They passed a great deal of time together, especially at the beershop of one Simon. As might have been expected, they were both poor, and the woman was addicted to habits of drinking ; in deed, it is clear that she was not only in a bad state of health, but had permanently injured her constitution by excess. At the time it is probable that STUNT was really fond of this woman. According to one account be had promised to marry her just about the time she died, and according to his own account she must have bad considerable influence over him. For upon one occasion, after her death, being asked by the man SUTTON whether he did not know that she was a bad character, he replied, "No, I did " not. When the acquaintance first began she "deceived me as to her age, and shortly after " wards told me she had done so, which I felt " pleased at, as it brought her age nearer to " mine. She afterwards said, You don't know " what else I deceived you in, or you would not " feel so pleased. I told you I had only three " children ; I have got eight.' " This astonished the prisoner, as well it might, and " from that time," he said, " I " made up my mind to break off the acquaint " enc.', ; but she always waylaid me when I " went out. " In this attempt to get rid of her STURM seems to have partially succeeded. But the woman evidently felt her power, and would not let him go. "About eighteen months ago," be said, " she sent • little boy to ask how I ' " was. That recommenced the acquaintance be " tween us, and at list I grew ao fond of her • " that I could not shake it off." It is true that some time before her death STUCT complained of her being out late alone, and only a few weeks before that event the poor woman seems to have joked him about another young man of whom she professed to be fond. But the very evening upon which this took place they passed together. Sorrow, of the beenhop, took it as a riming cloud, and the Loan Cunt Jimenez, with excellent common sense, remarked, " No doubt (as was usual with " women when they felt their power) she would " sometimes jeer him about another man. But " these were mere transient disturbances of their " intimacy and constant familiarity." Certainly • The following is the address of congratulation to She Qolllllllffia the corporation of London, which was pre sented to bar lErjaaty oo Thwarts', at Windsor Castle : tas MARLPON OF THE PAINCL.OP WALLS. these lovers' quarrels furnished no sidellitate mo tive for &rota putting her to death. On Saturday, the 21st of laal Fehenarl, DAY had been at home all day, and had taken no food but some bread and tea, as she had done on the day preceding. In the evening Sroar called, and Mrs. DAY got up and had some stout with him. Next morning (Sunday) she went out with him as usual. They walked to gether, and about half-past twelve he gave her • mince-pie, which she ate wiih some gin which he had given her previously. Presently they went into Surros's beenihop, where they had • pint of ale. After that SUTTON said, " I " noticed that she looked very ill," and so it proved. In • few minutes she was seized with vomiting and purging, and, in short, with all the signs of arsenical poisoning. She went home. The symptoms continued. No doctor was sent ' for, but STORY himself came to see her in the even ing, when Mrs. Dar told him she bad been ill ever since she had eaten the mince-pie. That same Sunday night, a few hours later, she died. The body was opened, arsenic was found in it in large quantities. STORY was supposed to have put poison into the mince-pie. He was arrested and tried for his life. The jury, however, ac quitted him, and no doubt their verdict was right. The woman died by arsenic, but no arsenic was traced to the hands of the prisoner. It is true :bat arsenic is used in Sussex for sheep-dipping and other agricultural purposes. But there was no evidence that STORY had ever bought any, nor indeed was he even brought into conrex'on with any such substance. The mince-pie was supposed to contain the arsenic, but the confectioner who made it was not produced as a witness. its con tents were never ana'ysed ; nor, in fact, was there any proof that it contained any poison at all. But even if it did contain poison, there was no proof that STURT put it there. But further, STORY, after the charge was made against him, was perfectly eels-possessed; he be trayed no signs of a guilty conscience. Instead of keeping out of the way he came at once, and sat by the bed of the dying woman. Instead of any reluctance to answer questions, he not only spoke openly to his friends and the police, but he volun teered a circumstantial statement before the Coroner, which was correct in every particular. At the time of his arrest his only remark wars— " Very well, lam prepared." There was not a shadow of proof that &rimer aiministe-ed the poison which was undoubtedly found in Mre. Dar's stomach. But, again, no reasonable motive was assigned why STORY should have perpetrated so atrocious a crime. " If the proof of the crime," as the Loan CRISP JUSTICII said, "is clear, the motive, " of course, is quite immaterial. But when theproof " of the crime is in itself doubtful, then the motive "is very material." The only motive ever alleged was the desire to get rid of a woman whom he had premised to marry. Such a motive is not only inconsistent with the jealousy imputed to him ; but where, as in this case, a person accused is not shown to have been in possession of the poison, such • motive is utter'y inadequate to justify • conviction. In short, that Mrs. DAY died of poison is certain ; but when that poison was admi,r"tered, how it was administered, and by whom it was ad ministered, remains a mystery. It may have been &oar, it may have been some one else. It may have been taken accidentally, it may have been taken intentionally. Under such circumstances an acquittal was inevitable. ebt Court.

LATEST IN T THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENIpTO, MARCH 28, DM POLAND. A communication from Warsaw of the 23rd, in the Dibats, says : The resignations of the independent members of the Council of State completed by that which Count Wising Malashowski forwarded from abroad are very signifi cant It is the national element—it is men devoted to their c ountry who, in their endeavour to take part in public affairs, had been approved of by the moderate national opinion, who now retire from the administrative autonomy subjected to Russian dominion. Those men have twice given proof of civism. In the first place they accepted their office in braving ultra-patriotic opinion ; they have now re signed their functions in daring Russian vengeance. The couregoons act of Archbishop Felineki has, however, more particularly produced the most lively impression on the government. That prolate, who in coming from St Peters burg to Warsaw and accepting the archiepiscopal sea, had imposed on himself a mission of peace and conciliation — who had hoped to arouse in the government a sentiment of justice—who believed in the good intentions of the Emperor Alexander—and who had preached patience and coofidoncs to his fallow.conntrymen, has per. ceived the impossibility of his task. The archbishop, in reiterating his resignation in writing, accompanied it by • sealed letter addressed to the Emperor, in which it is said he uses the most dignified and patriotic language. He calls for the independence of his country under the sceptre of one of the members of the imperial family, as being the only means of re-establishing peace and of satisfying the nation, and he declares that if within ten days he does nos obtain • reply, he will publish his letter as a protest of his religious coalmines and of his patriotic faith. An immense void is made round the Marquis Wielopolaki. AMERICA. Orcrrn's QIJEENSTOWN, Mix% S.

A steamer, suppoeed to be a privateer, entered Savannah harbour on the 9th inst., and fired two guns, but left again before the Federal guns on Tybee Island could be brought to bear upon her. I Mr. Chase has returned to Washington, after consulting with the New York financiers, without negotiating a loan. It is stated that he is amply supplied with means for present demands, and his future policy remains undecided. The Sew York Herald correspondent assert+, that the rising in San Domingo is an unimportant affair. ENGAGEMENT AT PORT HUDSON. NEW YORK, !Lucca 19, Bram°. The Richmond Whig, of the 17th inst., says that the bombardment of Port Hudson commenced at 2 o'clock on the 14th inst. At 12 o'clock at night a desperate engagement occurred, the Federal' attempting to pass the batteries under cover of the darkness. One gunboat passed in a damaged condition. The Federal sloop of war Mississippi was burnt to the water's edge in front of the batteries. One large vessel was completely riddled, a third badly crippled, and the rest driven back. Thirty-six of the crew of the Mississippi were captured. Admiral Farragut's flagship went down the river disabled. The Confederate victory was complete. No Northern accounts of the engagement have yet been received. None of the reported Federal successes or cap tures on the Yazoo River are yet confirmed. A Federal expedition, consisting of two steamers, five small gunboats, and 18 transports, arrived at Greenwood at the confluence of the Tallahatchie and Yallabusha rivers, on the 14th inst., when the advance steamer came upon a Con federate battery of five guns. Fighting between the steamer and the Confederate batteries con tinued all day, but was not renewed the following day, the steamer being damaged and short of ammunition. MON Oos owl ooszaPOMMlrt.) PARIS. ' , MAY &yam. The Moniteur'a bulletiu, while reporting the news that Prince William of Denmark "is to be proposed" to the Greeks for their king, and adding that his family consents to the arrangement, omits to echo the London sasertiou that France and Russia have agreed with England to recommend him. I do not, however, infer from this reserve that France is hostile to the candidature. The Moni teur is published every day, and ministers are not always sitting in council to consider what shall be put into it. The Minister of State (now Count Wslewski) has the immediate control of the Moni. teur, and he, no doubt, often delegates the editing to subordinates. That summary of passing events called the bulletin is therefore gene rally drawn up in a colourless style, espe. offal care being taken not to commit the govern ment to a positive expression of ()pillion upon any pending question. The Pays, however, says to. night that the acquiescence of France and Russia is "certain and formal," but, curiously enough, it throws doubts upon the consent of the royal family of Denmark which the Moniker assumed without question. The Petrie has already heard that Prince William's name is received with great favour at Athena. It adds that one of his Chris tian names is George, which is a favourite Greek appellation, and that in all probability he will be proclaimed King of Greece by the name, style, and title of King George the First. The France pretends to know that the reason why Prince William was made choice of rather in a hurry, was that the English government had received certain information that Grivas, whose popularity is considerable, was on the point of being declared Dictator. It adds, with a sneer, that the King in posse has but small confidence in the Hellenic people, since he stipulates for a body guard of 4,000 men, who may, if he pleased, be all foreigners. I disbelieve this statement. M. Octave Feuillet's reception at the Academy is spoken of by the government journals as a happy exception to the recent practice of stuffing the speeches with political allusions against the present dynasty. In point of fact, M. Feuillet's address was wholly of a literary character, with the exception of a well turned compliment to the Empress,wbo was pre sent, and whole his most influential patron. The Cos. stitutionnet takes a note that the reign of Napoleon •111. has for the first time been styled a "grand reign " in the academy. M. Vitet, however, one ' of the old members, upon whom devolved the task of replying to hi 0. Feuillet, indulged in a little piece of sarcasm which produced a great effect. hi. Feuillet, in speaking of M. Scribe's career as a dramatist in the time of the Restoration, had spoken of the success with which he pourtrayed upon the stage old generals and colonels of the empire. M. Vitet, in echoing this praise of the deceased academician, whose chair M. Feuillet now fills, observed, " Yes ; in those times the van quished were glorified upon the stage." All eyes were turned towards M. Emile Angier, who, in the Fits de Giboyer, has been, in the opinion of the legitimists, too bard upon the vanquished. With the above exceptions, there were no political In addition to the battery at Greenwood, the Confederates are reported to be strongly fortified at Yazoo city and Manchester. The fleet, at last ac counts, was 150 miles from Yazoo city. The Federala attacked the Confederate entrench ments at Franklin, on the Blackwater River, on the 17th inst., and were repulsed. The Confederates, under General D. H. Hill, attacked Newbern, North Carolina, on the 13th instant, but were repulsed. The Federal cavalry have crossed the Rappa hannock at Kelly's Ford and had a spirited engage ment with the Confederate cavalry under Fitz Hugh Lee. The Confederates retreated behind their entrenchments, and the Federal brought away 25 prisoners. The report that the Confederates were near Fort Donuelson is said to be untrue. Deserters from Mobile report that the Confederate fleet left that port four weeks ago to attack the Federal block ading squadron, but owing to one of the vessels getting aground the expedition was temporarily abandoned. Colonel Fry, of the regular army, has been sp. pointed Provost Marshal, under the Conscription Act. The appointment has been favourably re ceived by the public. The New Jersey legislature bar declared itself in favour of peace measures by a large majority. The steamers Britannia and Gertrude have ar rived at Confederate ports. The steamer Havelock has arrived at Charleston. 0031YERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, liAsca 19, EvErma. Money easy ; gold, 66 per cent. premium. Exchange on London. bankers' bills, 171 to 172.

There is almost always in academical compliments a substratum of irony which is very trying to the recipient. IL Vitet, while telling IL Feuillet that be had formed his style upon that of Alfred de Musset, while avoiding his iinmorality, called to mind that IL Feuillet hes been styled by critics who think him wanting in verse and originality, "Le Petit Musset des Families." Among the fashionable audience were a great many ladies, who have been in the habit of playing M.

The news reached Houston across Rio Grande. News from Galveston of the 2nd March says that the French consul at Matamoras had received a dispatch, stating that the French had captured Mexico city. I It is supposed that this circumstance may have given rise to the report which reached Richmond. The report is considered premature, and does not obtain universal credence.

A curious incident occurred in the Conaistory in which the Pope conferred the cardinal's hat on the new members of the Sacred College. One of them, Mgr. Pentini, in taking the usual oath, wished to make some reservations upon the form, and to add that he would swear for everything that was not contrary to the welfare of the church. The senior member of the Sacred College protested against the language of the prelate as being useless and unusual. Concerning this occurrenco rumours have been current in the Eternal City, which, however, do not clearly explain what were the scruples of Cardinal Pentini. A letter from Rome in the Gazette du Midi refers to another incident of the consistorial sitting, in these terms : In the interval between the ceremonies. an advocate pleaded the reuse of the beatification of the venerable mother of King Francis IL, Queen Maria Christina, Primus of Savoy. At the moment when he advanced towards the throne, the Pope threw a glance towards the tribune of the sovereigns, and seeing that the King of Naples was not there, turned towards Mgr. Perlisi, patriarch of Constantinople, and said, in a voice loud enough to be heard by a part of the persons present, "Co and tell the King of the Two Sicilies from me that it is a shame for him not to be here l" The word veryovna was delivered by the Pope with a warmth that resounded in the ball, and caused considerable emotion among the usembly. The Patriarch of Constantinople im• mediately entered &carriage and drove to the Farness Palace, according to the orders of his Holiness. About an hour afterwards the King, although, it is said, indisposed, called on Cardinal Auburn and expressed his regrets, steering him that he was not aware that the case of the beatifica tion of his mother was to be pleaded on that day.

STALYBRIDGE, FRIDAY._ There has been no renewal of the late disturb ances, but out of the thirteen adult schools in the town, only three have as yet accepted the proposal of the com mittee, that the relief should be given half in money and half in kind, by tickets on shopkeeper'. The scholars of the central school, many of whom are Irish, have to-day declined the proposal. This afternoon they were invited, and attended in considerable numbers, to meet Sir J. K. Shuttleworth, at the Town-hall, to hear an address from him on the subject. The mayor and Mr. Commissioner Fareall were present. Sir J. K. Shuttlewceth, in she course of his speech, reviewed the measure' adopted for relief of the distress in Isuiceshire by conbibutiose from all parts of the empire, and the great exertions that had been made by all climes with that object, especially the ladies. The 1,000,0001., or 1,200,0001., that had balm sub scribed would certainly not have been forthcoming, nor pro bably 100,0001., had it been supposed that the working classes of Lancashire were impatient under trials that were the fault of no oleo in the country, or re* ly, as in former times, to rise at the inetigatios of any ignorant, selfish, or passionate agitator. The relief given, in the neighbourhood of Ashton and Stalyteldge, had been in excess of that In almost any other part of the country. It bad become masonry to take measures for the impatient apportionment of the relief funds. He believed the pro posed reduction of 4d. per head in tie payment of those attending school was generally acquiesced in. With re gard to the opposition to distribution of relief by ticket, be believed there was no such difficulty as had been alleged in obtaining change from shopkeepers for the tickets, but, whatever might,be the grievances, the complainants had not, as it behoved them to do, made in the tint place • temperate representation of them to the relief committee. The authors of the late disturbance' bed done not only themselves, but the whole of Lancashire, a deep and lasting injury. They bad produced an impression which would add force to the views of those who were anxious to reduce the political power of the district, end represent it rather as an element of direrder and danger, than of strength and security. Those who entertained the sanguine hopes that bad been expressed by the friends of the working-men, that they had here, based upon increased intelligence, increasing sense of public duty, and respect for property, a stabler condition of society than existed in any other pert of the empire, would receive from all aides the rebuke of scorn and disbelief, in consequenee of these riots in !Italy bridge. The manly patience and intelli gent conduct of the working-classes of Lancembire formed one of the most powerful practical argu ments for the extension of the electoral franchise. But now if any man desired to find an objection to that ar gument he would say :—'• That is a delusion ; these men me for the time being quiet, but they cannot resist the pressure of the evils consequent upon dependence ; let them ' be • few months dependent upon the bounty of the public, let them for a few months have to suffer privation and to live upon only one-third of their earnings ; let them for • few months be dissociated from the discipline of the mill, and the ordinary regulations under which their life has in ' times past been spent, and they are like children, they quarrel with the first difficulty they encounter. Being incapable of ramming, they act with immolate pas doe, disturb the peace, violate property, rob shops, disturb ' sod injure defenceless people ; they assault the house where ' a sick woman has sines died ; and, insensible of the degrade , ' ton of insulting a woman, they cause loos of life by their ' 1 violence sod their insensate animosity." Sir James ion ' i eluded by advising the attendants at the school, on mike , i tion, to accept the compromise that had been offered them ' by the committee. He read than the substance of the fal ' lowing address from the Central Executive Committee : TO THZ OPERATIVEM Or NTALTBRIDOZ AND THEE( minx= We have been entrusted with large funds for the relief of digress, nod we are distributing theta with every sympathy for your wants, and with every care for your welfare ; those funds imolai be obtained by any particular district, but are to be given where we think it best, taking into consideration distress, pod behaviour , and local circumstances generally. We deplore the disturbances which have recently occurred. We hops they are not shared in by a very Large number. If they are continued, we know that there me many elsewhere who will gratefelly receive all we can afford them ; sod the boards of gusrdians, the ordinary channels of relief, are always open to others.
