Wheatstone ' Esq. ow the putilteation of this list great dissatisfaction war ex pressed by many of the Fellows that, although Dr. Rapt, who had mintiest the secretaryship, was a physiologist, and, al ger* • representative of the natural history warscoo, Mr. Orove, whom the council repaid to SU deed him. was peincipally known for lug researches in physical science. It was states( that the proposed list would Minstituo. the " executive officers of the society entirely of geltivaton of physical science, leaving the natural sciences without an olßsr gepable of antracung an anatomical, phy *logical, or natural history paper, or of giving an opinion IS its merits." The dissaysfaction thus expensed was in ereased when the following facts became known : "At a netting of thecommittee of zoology and animal physiology of the Royal Society, held July 4, 1848, the fol. hewing resolution was moved by Prof. Owes, seconded by Mr. Way, end unanimously eared t° : - That the collimater taking into consideration the large propitious et papers communicated to the Royal Rodety on onajteta aged . y, physiology, lux! ether brandies of natural history. and the - which the noddy n about to Petals by the Min mein of a secre tary eminent foe his acquaintance with than relenceo, beg reopecttally requeg the attention of the council to the advantage and desirable sem of having con of the secretaries cotranad with thole branches er lam; ledge.

Bader these circumstances • few of the Fellows formed a emensittee for the purpose of securing, if possible, the 'lee Bea el 11r. Thomas Bell to the vacant seeretaryship. In the statement of facts " published by this committee, they also seated that they considered the election of a naturalist to the exalt aim the more necessary, as it will be wen that in the stew council aa proposed by the present one, there is • most mmenal apportionment et the members to the respective agessem which are suppased to be represented in that body ; there being eight members to represent the physical sciences, lie geologists, and two chemists ; while there is but one for emisperative anatomy, one for physiology sad me for zoology, mad not one represent a tive of botany.

He thanked the Fellows for the great kindness and forbear. axe th.y had exhibited t Awards him as long as be had ow• Med the chair. He felt that his scientific merits cocas not iglus 1 to the position, but he would yield to none—net even to the noble lord who was about to succeed him—in the interest he had taken, and should still continue to take, in ths welfare of the society.

He begged to repeat the minium which had been given by M. de Beaumont at the Lord Mayor's dinner, that the hospitality which the French national ((nerd bad received in this coun try would ever be remembered by Frenchmen with gratitude, and with feelings of cordial sym pathy for Eng land; and Englishmen. France panted with the desire of reciprocating the hospitality her people had met with here. (Hear, hear.) He regretted that none of the Gard* Nationale remained to avail themselves of the invitation of the Scottish Hospital to be present on this ocieseks. But Scotch hospitality was so well known in France, that it had become a proverb—it was a very truth. The Loco MAYOR then gave the "Army and Navy," which was acknowledged by General Millman and Admiral Sir C. Malcolm. TIT1111•1711D NtYOl, in proposing the tout of the evening, s' The Scottish Hospital, and its president the Duke of Mon trose," explained that this charity gave a pension of 101. a year to one hundred poor aged people, and 81. a year to thirty. At this society employed its funds in the relief only of very aged persons no deception could be practised—its object was to prevent aged poor and iudustri ous persons, when they were beyond work, from availing themselves of that dernier restart, the poorhouse; and also to assist aged Bcotchmen to return to their own country. The society, besides effecting these objects, relieved about casual poor every month. He was sorry say the society was not so well supported a, it deserved. He might, as a Scotchnian, be permitted to congratulate himself that amongst the applicants for relief at the police offices in the City there were very few of his countrymen. The Cntinotat acknowledged the tout. Lord D. &moire posed the health of the Lord Mayor, for which hie kndship returned thanks. Several other toasts were drank, and in the course of the evening a caridetabis addition to the funds of the lass halos was announced.

Runt, an engine-driver, said that the driver of the allure, in coming out from the station, would bare to round a curve, and could not see the signal light till arriving opposite the turn tables, which are about 200 yards from the old station.—N. Dear, the driver of the mimeo train, said that he wag not more than ten yards from Luck, the points man, when Lurk turned his hand-lamp, which showed red towards him, and the collision was instantaneous.— Mr. J. V. Gooch,. superintendent of the locomotive depart ment, said that if the driver Healey had been doing his duty and going at the speed he ought to have been, he could have Mopped with great ease in 100 yards. He knew the mires spoken of by Hunt ; the distance between it and the menial poet at New Richmond was 480 yards. There was ample thme for en seems sooting from the siding to the main bee to have stopped after making that curve, but Bosley ought noble have emote out under any eircumetaDoes when a train was due.—The jury returned a verdict of " Man slaugt•ter " against Samuel Healey, the driver, sad William Watkins, the fireman, of the Vulture engine.—The coroner then told Inspector Bo ard ha should send a warrant, and upon its receipt he would detain the driver and apprehend Watkins, the remaa, whom he undeestood had been bailed by the magistrates.—Stlcias tx • MOD/IL LODOINO- Hot:sm.—By Mr. Bedford, at St. Martin's workhouse, on the body of F.

The jury re turned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." MURDER OF THE RECORDER OF NOR- WICH AND HIS SUN. We yesterday gave a ttrief report of the following freadfal case : On Tuesday evening, soon after 8 o'clock, the town of Wynsondham was thrown into a state of consternation by the intelligence that Mr. Jersey, Recorder of Norwich, and his son had been shot dead, at their residence, Stan field-hall. A telegraphic message to that effect was seat to Norwich police.statiot with a request that a Mr. Rush should be apprehended. In consequence, Superin taadent Torrington went by the nest train in qamt of Rush, and a party of police proceeded in post chains to the hall. They arrived there about one in the morning and found the inmates in a state of great alarm and grief. Constable Pont of the enrol force, was there. They saw the bodies of Mr. Jersey sad his eon, and ascertained that Mrs. Jermy and her maid, Elisabeth Chutney, had been shot at and severely wouaded. Before going further it will be well to mention some parti culars relative to the plan of Stanfield Hall. It is a long building in the Norman style, with a mast before it sad an extensive park round it. Of late years a wing has been added, comprising the servants' apartments. In front of the main building there is a porch enthuse, leading into a spa cious hall, from which then is :7 to the dining-rooms OD the left. To the right of the there is an entranes and peewee for the servants, • into their part of the The perpetrator of thew murders was well acquainted with the premises, as will appear from what follows. Mr. Jersey, Mr. Jersey, jun. and Mrs. Jersey, dined together on Tues day mates; this butler, ;two female servants, and a man servant were on the premises; two female servants had gone to Wymondhun, and had returned to the park, but were not in the hall before 8 o'clock. About half-past 8 o'clock Mr. Jassy, sen., left the din' room, and walked through the hall to the front of the building. On returning, just aa he entered the porch, a man, wrapped up in • cloak, and wett ing • mask, fired • pistol at him, and the shot lodged in the uppsr part of his left breast, close to the shoulder. He fell down and expired ; but, owing to what followed, was rot removed for nearly an hour. The anemia went to the seer rants' entrance to the ugh', passed through the across the building, and met the butler. With a pistol each hand he beckoned the butler to go back. Being greatly alarmed at the apparition of a man in a mask, pro moting two pistols, the butler retired into his pantry. The assassin proceeded onwards to the turn of the passage, where there was a dark wow sad • door opining into another pas mire leading to the bark of the premises. He isies to have arrived la WI recess just as Mr. Jersey, jun, elarmed by the report of a pistol. left the dining room.

Like esneed pearls Woo saisgisi the wee into the °Oar@ seam, led the aims of hie own. In the Louden they wrote of " rarest malignant.," he had observations below to the effect that he was a " religious bigot." If to think his own religion nett sad others wrong was to be a bigot, then he was a bigot. He thought the Roman catholic wrong, and the Boman catholic thought him wrung; but whilst he would sand up for his own rights, he would equally advocate tie enhts of the Roman catholics. He bed supported the grandee of the Roman catholic claims; but while he would oppose the endowment of the Romeo catholic religion in Island, he would also oppose the endowment of bishops in our colonies. And it must be borne in mind, that whether himself or Mr. Denison were the choose of the constituency, Yorkshire had already spoken out against all religious en dcwment of the Roman catholic*. (Hear.) He use not anxious foe any privileges to his own religion that he would net concede to others. He eppesied to the landed gentry and leading whigs of the Riding to do their duty on tots occasion by voting for him; for if they , did not they would be whist* no longer, what- , ever they might have been hitherto, and hereafter they would be looked down upon. With regard to the franchise, he bad nothing to conceal. He had had the mis fortune to reprise nt Pontefract, when he paid for it. (Laughter.) He had been a candidate when some 140 voters supported him without being paid for it. He then proceeded to say that the extension of the suf frage should be scrompanied by the ballot and larger elec toral districts. He believed that the proceedings on the continent had been brought about by the want of extended I suffrage. (A man in the crowd exclaimed, " I should be glad to see a republic ben.") Sir Culling said he believed that was not the orinion of the people neurally, and that, if the people were polled out, the would declare their attachment to their Queen. (Hear.) But, though he was In favour of proem, be did not mean French pro gress, though he and his friend, Mr. Denison, stood side by side, like General Cavaignec and Prince Louis Napoleon.-1 (Laughter.) Mt. Dxxisox.—l hope lam not like either. (A laugh.) Sir Cloture° R. BAHDLEY hoped that he else was not like either ; but he wished matters to be so arranged here, that I when the election was over they should not be obliged to go to fisticuffs to overturn the result. To return to his subject : Though he was in favour of a municipal suffrage, which, in the borough of Leeds for instance, would increase the number of parliamentary electors from 6,000 to 15,000, he would not conceal from them that he was opposed to uni cereal suffrage. He was in favour of economy and retrench. ; ment, and thought it high time that various matters were looked after, especially as to the large salaries that were , paid. For instance, be believed that the British ambassador ^ at Par's had nearly four times the allowance that the am bassador of the French republic in London had. He was opposed to large quantities of land being kept in had by the Commissioners of Land Revenue, as he thought it could not be as scougniully worked by the owner es by tenants. Mr. Dmenote—And for that reason I have none. Sir C. BARDLEY hoped that if Mr. Denison should be their choice, he would carry that principle into effect in the Houle of Commas. He wished to have an efficient army for the protection of our national interests, but he thought that after thirty years of peace the army was larger than It ought to he, and that it was not nee...eery to keep up a large force front fear of foreign invasion. As the Pope had bean obliged to run away from Rome, there was no fear of ' an invasion by him; and as the French national guard, hod come over to fraternise with us, and the com pliment was about to be returned by &inland, there was no need to apprehend invasion from France. Sir Culling repeated his adhesion to the principles of free trade, which be was prepared to carry out thoroughly. German cutlery competed with that of Sheffield ; and he would have Brazilian sugar to competewith that of Jamaica; and though he hated slavery as much as any rose, be did not think that the way to put it down was to make Englishmen ray more for their sugars than others. Upon the same prin ciple he would allow tnreign produce to be imported on the same terms in foreign bottoms as in British ship.. Sir Culling concluded by saying that he would be glad to answer any question that might to put after Mr. Denison had c' nduded. Col. TIMPINT then introduced Mr. Denison. He was a native of the county, a friend of the constitution, and he would be ready to preserve their rights, and the integrity of the empire. Mr. DENISON said he wee once more a candidate for their representation, and he was there to tell them what he would do if returned ; and it would be their fault if they did not find out before they parted what he would not do. He would promise them two things—gnat, that he would give a distinct answer to every question intelligibly put; and, sound, that he would give them an opportunity of recording their opinions at the poll. As to free trade, he believed that a thorough free trader would ,weep o o r ff all duties . imp7V ..., a ) rtiolss, man A gentlemen on his left said " no, " but he must say that, to that extent he was not prepare d go; he was not a free-trader to that extent ; but when last in parliament he had supported the reduction of duties on imported articles to the extent of six or seven millions. And he was yet prepared to go with the Chancellor of the Exchequer in repealing duties, whether sugar, tea, tobacco, or anything else, so long as he could emus hint that the remaining duties would produce sufficient become to meet the claims of the national creditors. (Remo" donee( dissent.) He waseorry to hear that intimation, because it -bowed that there were fewer honest men in the world than he bad believed. For he would say, let the result be what it might, let them elect him or not, that the man who would not pay the interest of the national debt was a dis honest man. If they did not do that, there would be no in terest for their deposits in the savings banks; and it would lead to a dark day in Bradford when such opinions were to prevail. He would take the burdens off the shoulders of the working dusts as for as he could, but ho would not promise them to do that which he was determined not to do. (Hear.) As to the corn lain, they were aware that he ha I opposed their repeal; but having been in a minority on thatekuestfen, now that they were repealed, he bowed to the decision ; and looking to what had since oc curred on the continent, he was glad that they had been re pealoi. He was, like his hon. opponent in favour of eco nomy end retrenchment, and if he went to parliament instead of his hon.opponent,Sir C. &teensy—and which, with all respect, he believed he should (laughter)—he should be ready to support all proper reductions. He had no motive to keep up either large salaries or en unnecessary number of clerks. Only lest week, as chairman of the Great Northern Railway, he had proposed a reduction of salaries of all the staff, and he had for soma years been a member of the Finance Committee for regulating the expenditure of the county rate of the riding, and a con siderable suing had been effected in that expenditure, though he had not been a very active member of hoe. He was opposed, from EO.llCialltiOUS 1110tivel, to the endowment of the Lan catholic clergy In Irelan d; but he deemed bishops to be as necessary in oar colonies as they were at home. He was in favour of the general education of the people. (" We want secular and not religious education.") He would tell the man who said so that an ounce of reli gious education was worth a bucketful of secular edu cation. He was in favour of religious education; and if that man's children were religiously edu cated, they would be better men than their father. (" The suffrage.") He would tell them at ones that he was not disposed to extend the suffrage at all. (Groans.) If they wanted to extend the suffrage they must pat their money into the lungs bank till they had accumulated suf. ficient to buy a qualification. (Disapprobation and cheers.) Mr. COPLEY asked if the candidates were prepared to re sist all further endowments of any party ; and, at the most opportune moment, to abolish all state endowments ? Sir CULLING EuRDLEY said he would object to all fur ther endowments ; but he did not think the time was come j for an alteration of the existing endowment' of religion. The word " opportune" was relied on. He would not have two religions endowed ; but, u the Russians said, " Burn Moscow, rather than give shelter to two armies," he would abolish the endowment of both religions rather than endow another. Mr. Deensox said bewould not oppose further religious en dowments, as he bad raid he would sanction additional bishops in our colonies, and he would not support the separation of church and state. Mr. COPLEY—MiII you abolish the civil disabilities of the Jews? Sr C. EARDLEYI will support such a proposition. Mr. DENISON—I will not pledge myself to do so. Mr. COPLEY asked if the undidetes would support a no tonal poor rate, and that those who paid the rates should elect those who expend than ? Sir C. PAROLEE did not think that a national poor rate might be the best, butwas prepared to look into the question. Mr. Dexistat was not prepared to vote for such a proposi tion, for there would be many hands dipping into the es tional puree and few to take care of it. Let them ap. point a trustee when they could do the work themselves Mr. COPLEY said he did not wish the appointment of a trustee, but that the land should bear its share of the hurtles' of the poor.

The same were read over to the men before they went on duty yesterday morning, with instructions to the constables that they were to keep a good look-out for the suspected murderer.

Sir Crturro EARDLBY said that Mr. Denison agreed with Mr. Fraser that free trade meant no duties; but that was not his meaning. He would not take off duties that could not be spared to meet the requirements of the nation ; but he would equalire duties. He would not let Indian-grown tea come in at less duty than China tea ; but he would not make a fool of them by telling them that he was for abolishing all import duties. He thought they ought to be regulated upon a principle of equality, and no preference for the produce of one country over another. Mr. DENISON mail he had male the discovery that free trade did not mean a trade without duty. It seemed that after all there was not so much difference between them, for he was also for having a duty on imported articles. He would vote for a reduction of the duty on tea it the Chancel lor of the Exchequer could spare it, for he had no with to pay 7s. a pound for tea if he could get it for be. a pound. Mr. FliA2llll asked, was Sir Culling in favour of trade being free as the air they breathed ? Sir CULLING EARDLIY said, No, I am not ; I have just said NO, _ _ Mr. Fraser wu proceeding with some observations when oar report wu despatched, the meeting evidently then be aming very impatient.

THE MENDELSSOIINSCIIOLtERHIPL—Aa a monu ment to the memory of this i'lustrious and lamented mu sician, it is in contemplation to f , quad, in the Musical Con servatory of Leipsie, acholarships to bear his name, for students of all nations, as • recognition of musical genius and exemplary conduct. The plan originated at Leipsie, under the sanction of the King of Saxony, and has received the zealous co.opeiation of Mendelssohn's friends and admirers in England. In July last a committee was formed in London, consisting of several distinguished artiste and amateurs, and having Sir George Smart fir their chairman. This committee have arranged a per formance of " Elijah," to take place at Exeter Hall on the 15th of December, in aid of the proposed object. The arrangement has been made with the full concurrence of Mdlle. Jenny Lied, who has with her usual generosity offered her gratuitous services ; and the committee have ?s -alved the meat cordial cooperation front the Sacred Har monic Society, and from the members of Mr. Mullah's upper schools. The performance is to be conducted by M. Benedict, and will be on the most magnificent scale. We observe that the committee have annexed to such contribu tions as they may be enabled to forward from England a highly proper condition namely, that • proportion of the scholarships of the Mandela yam foundation shall always be held by natives of the United Kingdom; and that • part of the sum col leeted shall be deleted to the endowment of preparatory scholarships in the conservatory of Leipsic, reserved for the natives of the United Kingdom, to qualify them for competi tion for the Mendelssohn echolarshipa. Every lover of music will look forward with much interest to the accomplishment of a measure which, while it will do honour to the came of Mendelssohn, is calculated to promote the advancement of the art in this country. Tlin ITALIAN OPERA IN PARIS.—Such is the com plete desertion of Paris by that class of persons who usually compose the audience of the Italian Opera, that that theatre has been obliged to close its doors. It wall not be re opened for the present season, unless government ene.les it to do so by a subvention, which, in the present state of the finances, is not likely. This is, it is fusel, the tint time for nearly a century that Paris has been without an Italian Theatre. The " Academie de Mnsique " does not average a gross receipt of so much as 2,0001. a night, its actual outgoings being more than double that amount. DvaLter, Nov. 30. Yesterday two American citizens of Irish extrac tion, Messrs. Bergin and Ryan, were released from Newgate. These gentlemen arriving in Ireland about the period when the government had reason to me prct, from the declarations of Americans themselves, that numbers of "sympathisers" would descend on Irish ground, became inevitable objects of suspicion ; and, acting on the powers confided to him by law, Lord Clarendon had both taken into custody. Their release now is probably owing not less to the circum stance that there is no longer danger than to the interposition of the American government, which last, however, was very energetic in their behalf. Messrs. Bergin and Ryan have received notice that they mast leave Ireland within three weeks, or they will again be placed in custody. Several forgeries on the Bank of Ireland have recently been discovered in Ireland. One of the ' forgers was arrested a few days since in Limerick. Father Mathew has commenced a second campaign against intemperance : a wide field of action presents itself, if we may credit the accounts in various jour nals throughout the kingdom, and the records of our metropolitan police courts. Let us hope the good man will have the same success in the present as in his former operations for the regeneration of his countrymen. The clergy of the established church have pro claimed a new grievance. The rate collectors under the labour rate repayments have called upon them for their shares of the loans granted for carrying oat that enactment, in proportion to the amount of their rent charges. The principle on which this claim is founded is no doubt perfectly just, note ithstandiag it I must press very heavily on the incumbents of small livings, who in Ireland are at this time in as much distress as any other class of the community. Mr. Duffy will be transferred to the custody of the County Sheriff to-day, preparatory to his trial on the 12th proximo. The Xenagh Guardian of Thursday states that there were several robberies committed and threaten ing notices served on the collectors of poor-rates, threatening the guardians with death. CLERICAL.

SCOTLAND. 11:01NIIVEWH, Nov. 30. A proposal having been made to establish soup kitchens in Edinburgh, as a preventive to cholera, an objection was made to the plan, unless under the con trol of the parochial board, as otherwise Irish pau perism might be fostered. In defence of the objection it was stated that, of 24,1461. raised last year in Edinburgh as parochial assessment, 7,9751. went to Irish paupers; and of 3,4871. raised as a special fund for the unemployed, 2,7911. went to the same class of persona. Highland pauperism is not one whit better. The Glasgow section of the Destitution. Board has 18,6241. 9s. 6d. on hand ; it is rapidly diminishing, and, after it is gone, the board has the prospect of finding the Highlanders as destitute and helpless as when they began their labours. Mr. Gordon, of Cluny, has informed the section that, of 37,4071. which he ;has drawn as the rent of Long Island for the last nine years, he has spent 26,9831. on the im provement of the people. Prison statistics are as gloomy as those of pauper ism. Our gaols are becoming too comfortable to be regarded as penal establishments. A common allow ance to paupers in Scotland is 2s. per week ; prisoners cost 6d. a day for food alone, and with what effect this comparative liberality is attended, the following table of re-commitments of prisoners will show : Ones before.

SHIPWRECK IN SWANSEA BAT.—LOSS OF THE Anaturres.—Tbe above-named barque war lost on Monday night last, when almost within tight of her destination. She sailed from Cuba on the 13th of October, laden with copper ore, for Swansea. She made Lundy, Caldy, and the Helwidsa—" all well." About 12 o'clock, midnight, the vessel struck the lower edge of the Mizell (a wel`...known shoal a short distance off the Mumble Head). The muter finding that the vessel would not come off, deemed i• I expedient to get out the longboat. As the crew were cadet. vonring to get into the boat, a heavy sea dove her up against the ship's bows, by which John M'Doiteral, the second mate, was knocked overboard, and whined.. The deceased war a manic! man. his fluidly residing in Swan sea. The matter and rest of the crew (13 in number) then proceeded in the longboat through the sound into the Mumbles. Here they met the Dragon Fly, Neatb steam-tug, the master of sedch evinced the great est readiness and alacrity to assist, and no tune was lost in reaching the vessel with the view, if practi cable, of getting her off. On approaching the barque It was, however, found that the sea was breaking over her, and that the steamer could not, without imminent risk of sacrificing the lives of all on board, get sufficiently near to be of service. The attempt was consequently abandoned, and the crew nude the best of their way to Swansea harbour. The eerie' has since become a complete wreck, the whole coast being strewed with portions of the unfortunate craft. She was consigned to the Cobre Company, at Swansea, with 450 tons of copper ore, was the prop: rty of Sir J. Pirie end Mr. Lang, and is believed to be partial ly insured. The loss is estimated at 8,0001. Neither the master or crew were able to save 1111 v portion of their clothes nor other pro. perty. M'Dougall's body has not yet been recovered. 11•IIINATION OP TUIII SOIIPICTED MIIRDIIIII,. Jameeßloon.fkldßuah, underwent nomination at Wymondham House of Corm. tion, in the presence of the Hon. and Rev.R.Wilson, and Mr W. R. Cane, county magi.trates. Reporterswere permitted to be present, but, fur obvious reasons at this stage of the procenings, were desired not to take rota of the evidence. Without endangering the end of justice, however, we may mention some of the more important facts adduced.; The apprehension of Rush was the result of the lady'outaid of Mrs. Jermy positively swearing he was the party who fired at her and her unfortunate mistress. For identification he was taken to the bedside of the wounded women. During the rumination he was permitted a seat. He crowexasained the witnesses with some tact. He appran to be about 46 years of sae, stoutly made, and was attired very respectably. The promedings Mated from 10 o'clock till 5 ; fifteen or sixteen witnesses each adding links to a chain of circumstantial evidence were examined. It was shown that he was absent from his firm at the period of the murders being committed. The magistrates decided on adjourning the examination. The prisoner, who, towards the latter portion of the proceed lags seemed to be labouring under severe mental pain, asked to be admitted to bail, but was refused. He warmly pro tested his onneernee, and was remov, d in custody. In the mune of the day, a son of the prisoner made an application Ito the magistrates, desiring an interview with his parent. It was granted. .Stli INQUZIT. . - Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, Mr. K Press, one of the coroners for the county, opened an inquiry before a jury on view of the bodies of the murdered gentlemen, Isaac Jenny, Esq., and his son, Isaac Jenny, jun. In the early part of the day the coroner forwarded to the accused, Rush, a list of the jury summoned, with a view of arcertaining if h. objected to any of them. It was returned with four names erased. Mr. Isaac Jenny was described as 69 years of age, hiss= 30. The juryq being sworn, proceeded to view the remains of the deceased, which lay in the drawing room of Stanfield-hall. Both bodies were stretched on the carpet in the apartment. Mr. Jersey, the elder, had been shot on the left side, the ball pulsing through the heart; his eon bad been *hot on the right aide, the boll passing through the body. The coroner and jury were then shown by the domestics the place where the murders had been enacted. It appears that when the murderer left the hall he threw down a paper, on which was written, " There are seven of us all armed, two inside and live out. You servants, keep in the servants' hall ; if any of you attempt to follow, you will be shot dead. We are come to take posseesion of the estate. (Signed) I/lOWAN PRESTON, the rightful owner." At this stage of the proceedings our report was despatched to catch the last train, but by electric telegraph we hear that evidence only relating to the identity of the deceased was taken, and that the investigation was adjourned till this day (Ftidiy). A van number of labourers o. omploviol otspiyiro most which surrounds the mansion, in the sops of detecting the fire-arms of the murder. Last amounts speak of Mr.. Jermy being in a dangerous state.

Wilkins and Mr. Lush were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Cock burn, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Hugh Hill, appeared for the defendant.—This was en action brought by a publican to recover compensation in damages for certain slanderous ex pressions uttered by the defeat t.—Mr. Sent. Wilkins, in stating the cu e , said that the plaintiff was the propri e tor of the Prince of Wales public-house, at Tumham-green, which he had conducted for the last ten years ; and the defendant had formerly been head gardener to the late Mr. George Robins, but wiz now in the service, in a single? capacity, al Mr. Lumley, the lessee of the Italian Op, re- Ismael. The circumetance which gave rise to the slander being uttered, of which the plaintiff now coni 'Mined, was this. On the 7th of February, in the present year, a young man of the name of William Aflick who was gardener to Lady Montague, called at the Prince of Wales, about four in the afternoon, where he remained until seven in the evening. From that time be was missing until the 10th of March, when he was found drowned in the river Thames, under Mr. Lumley's garden-wall. The flint per 'on who saw the body was the defindant, who identified It. The deceased must once taken to a public-house called the Cannon, and a police officer of the name of Scomey having heard of the occurrence. thought it his duty to inquire into 'he matter. Accordingly, he went in company with a per sin of the name of Richard Bullock to view the body, and, after having seen it in an outhouse belonging to the Cannon public-house ,be returned in-doors. The defendant happened to be there, as were also mete other parks, and a conversation ensued between him and Scotney, it the course of which the former made an accu sation against the plaintiff. The defendant had not dared to justify the observations that he mode. If the chugs against his client was true, it was the duty of the defend ant, u a good and honest citizen, to have proved it, in or der that if the plaintiff was guilty of the offence alleged against him he might be visited with the rigour of the law. The conversation to which he was about to call tbeirattenti wascommenced by Scotney saying to the defendant," It wee very fortunate, Mr. Russell, that the body was found so near you, and that you were able at moo to identily it, u I don't t',ink you could now." The defendant replied, "Itis a fin gular affair, and that Butersby is in the habit of drugging his liquors for the purpose of Unpitying people, that they may be robbed in his house ; and I have no doubt that my friend (meaning the deceased) has been served in the same way," and then the defendant added, that he had been drugged in the plaintiff's house himself. He further stated that two or three of his friends had also had their liquor drugged at the plaintiff's house, and that he would not as much as drink a glass of ale at the Prince of Wales, for "it was a bad house, and • bad lot frequented it." On the MIMI inning Scotney had occafiim to see Mr. Milk at a public-house at Hammersmith about an other inquest tint he was then ho.ding, and also to inform him that the burly of Atli* had been found. While Scotney wiz having an interview with the deputy-coroner the defendant came in, and ~gain he made the same r.otr ift . than agaivat the plaintiff.
