Is MUSIC. ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA. The season waft brought to a termination on Saturday night, with the performpoce of the Domino Noir and other entertainments, beiw; for the benefit of Was Louisa Fyne. in the course of tho evening the following &Mines was circulated in the theatre : . . . - - - " Ladies did Gentlemen,—Thu being the last night of our present season (the longest that has been given for several years) we beg to return our sincere thanks foe the support SOU have bedewed, aed to take this opportu nity of expressing our loyal gratitude to our most gra cious sovereign, who, notwithstanding her own retirement, has been pleased to continue her valuable patronage to us throughout the entire season. We venture to add a hope that the ensuing one may be honoured with the patronage of their Royal kfighnesees the Prince and Princess of Wales also. Next year terminating our lease io this establishment, our operatic management here will, in Al probability, terminate also. We shall, there fore, renew our efforts to pleds you, that our last Covent garden season may live freshly in your memories. The difficulty, as well as the expense, of operatic management can sever be estimated_ by those who balm not undertaken it; but we have struggled with these formidable difficulties so far, and will endeavour still to combat them, incited by the knowledge that we have with truthfulness thrown all our energies into the attempt of realising a good work— namely, the establishing a home in English opera for our brother and sister artistes; end we will carry this attempt through (so far as our health permits) bravely until the end. Trusting that you will kindly co-operate with no in this arduous endeavour by your liberal support and cheer ing patronage next season, we bid you till then most re apeJtfully and gratefully adieu. " LOOM Prirs, •`Wn.usta HARRISON, Managem" A small number of the admirers of Miss Louisa Yrs* took this opportunity of presenting her, u a mark of their O&M with a beautiful necklace and earrings of carbuncles and diamonds. DRAMA. Easter is not so important a dramatic season for new holiday entertainments as Christmas, but still it always has its fair share of novelties. This year the feast of burlesque will be as full as usual, and Mr. Byron has been the author most called upon to provide it. The Adelphi will have one extravaganza from hie pen; the Prisons's another, founded largely upon "Don Juan;" and the Strand another, based upon the good old eastern romance of the Forty Thieves." The St. James's will be enlivened with a burlesque upon The Heart of Mid-Lothian, for which Miss Marie Wilton and Mr. James Rogers have been engaged. We trust that Mr. Rogers, who is in very bad health, will have gained strength during his temporary retirement in the Isle of Wight for these very trying burlesque parts. The Haymarket will introduce Mr. Telbin's loog.promised panorama illustrating the Prince of Wales's tour in the Fast, and the picture will be sitcom pealed by a dramatic sketch from the pen of Mr. Stirling Coyne. At Drury-Lane the popular drama of Peep-of-Day will be revived; and at the Olympic we shall have a classical extravaganza called /cis and Galatea, by Mr. J. C. Burnand. This gentleman is the author of that very clever and elaborate parody of all the sensation romances which has lately appeared in the pages of Punch, under the title of Mokeansa. The literary merits of this production have been admirably worked up to by artists like Millais, Keene, Browne. and others, who have happily travestied their own sentimental pictorial efforts.

All sessned fuiWo .' eisjoy their rowing, and the manner in which the young athletes of the aquatic world turned out on the °G amlen augurs well for the approaching season. Mr. Newton appeared for the prosecution ; the rationale were undefended. The case excited great interest ; and the court was densely crowded. The wounded man is one of General Hall's pmekeepses, end for sense weeks the use her been before the publics, with painful interest attaching, from its being generally known that the injuries the unfortunate man received would probably cause his death. He, however, made hie appar ent, in court today, bat wee a pitiable sight. The lower few wee much shot away, end his head MOMS held together by a number of large black General Hall, who wu ba o n n da tt e e L bench, is one of the largest and strictest genie preservers in this part of the kingdom, and during the season entertains the Duke of Cambridge and a large circle of friends at Weston Colville. There were two indictments spinet the prisoners —one for the inept to murder, the other for night poaching. On being called upon to plead, George How pleaded guilty, and Bine mid, • I shot the tan, but the gun went off by mistake. The learned Judge, interposing, said they could not mean to say they intended to murder the man? The prisoners at once said " No," and on it. being farther explained both said " Not guilty." - - kr. Newton then, in a very ;leer acid temperate eddies, elated the facto of the case. He oommeeoed by calling the attention of the jury to the form of the indictment, and pointed out to them that if they were not satisfied the pri soners intended to murder the man, there was • count charging them with inflicting grievous bodily harm, and a count charging them with assaulting the keeper and andel'. Touring to resist their lawful apprehension. He then pro ceeded to relate the facts, and it appears that on the night of the 6th of February, the keeper Tilbrooke hear ing guns fired in • wood, armed himself with a stick, and, accompanied by another keeper Named Hert, who carried • gun, went in the direction from whew* the mound cams. They coon came up to the poachers. It was • moonlight nigh Ti lt, and the men were eas il y seen, to the number of three . Tilbrooke moved forward to arrest Biggs, and got within half a dome yards from him, when he (the pri soner ) called out, "Keep back you —, or I'll shoot you ; at this time hie gun was levelled, and an aim Mks', and was instantly fired, the contents lodging full in the keeper's free. The other prisoner was close by, but said nothing. Hart seeing Tilbrooke fall, at mos fired at the prisoner Biggs, who fell, and the other man who was with the prisoners, but has never been cap tured, and was also carrying a gun, fired at the keeper Hart. This man and the prisoner How then made their escape, and Hart returned to Biggs, who was on the ground. Having taken his gun from him he went to look after his brother keeper, and on his return told Biggs be had killed his partner. To this he said "be did not know it." A pooonstable coming shortly after to apprehend Biggs and charging him with the crime, Biggs made answer and said, "I did do it, and I expect I shaLL have to suffer for it." Finding bullets upon him, he said, " I didn't shoot Tilbrooke with bullets, I shot him with No. 6 shot, and I made sore my mate had stopped the other one. I knew I had shot Tilbrooke, I told him to stand book and he wouldn't, so I shot hint." hen How woe apprehended be said, " I did not shoot him. 40 or 60 yards off." When before the magistrate he end, 4. :glum we was in the wood we saw the keepers. Osabolt ear.. `Stand back you —, or I will sho o t y ou .' The keepers thiM Oonie on.'

I lay for some Mire and crawled out of the wood, and was taken by • policeman. This was all proved by various witnesses, and at the con clusion of the case Biggs again said, "My gun want off by accident." The jury returned a verdict of Guilty wird Biggs on the second count of the indictment, charging the shooting with latent to do grievous bodily harm ; and Not Guilty aa against Hoer. How having pleaded guilty to the charge of night poach lag, wee sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment ; Bigp to 15 yam' penal servitude. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Dian; Miaca 2L Nisi Prins Ooart.—(Bofors alia 13srou Pollock) ACTION AGAINST Tlll MIDLAND RAILWAY GONPAYT.- SPECIAL JUST CAR Mr. Salami O'Brien, Mr. Stephen, and Mr. Beesley for the plalatiff ; Mr. 84.1-joint Hayes and Mr. Field for the &fondest& Demme ware laid at 2,0001. Mr. Sert O'Brien, io addressing the jury for the plain tiff (Mr. said that gentleman claimed from their hands fair and riescreable compensation for the Injuries which he wag afraid would prove of a very serious am meter, aad which be received on the evening of the 12th of December hat, at the Midland Railway Station, Derby. Mr. Bass is a member of the bar, and formerly went the Norfolk circuit, but some years ago be was appointed • stipendiary magistrate ter the Staffordshire Pos tarifa district, at Stoke, and up to thi s ti me b e had discharged the duties appertaining to that °film. On the 12th of December last he held his usual court at Stoke, and in the musing took the North Stafford tads at that town for the purpose of visitiog a friend at Derby. The train is due at Derby at 5.15 p.m., but on thi. particular evening it was late. The North Stafford train la • genera As ill-conditioned looking fellow, who said hi name was George Cook, a coach painter, residing at No. 7, Conduit court, St. Giles's, was brought up on remand, charged with the following cruel conduct to his children. Kr. Tubbs, who appeared for the pariah of Marylebone, said the cue had been before the board of guardians, and from the facie there elicited it appeared that prisoner had run away into some place in St. Giles's, dwelling hie three children and leaving them to starve. The prisoner himself was earning es. 6d. a day at his work, and undoubtedly was able to maintain them. Some persons it the house, 91, Devonshire-street, hearing pitiful moans and groan' proceeding from the room in which the children were, went an and found three children huddled upon some Book. The poor children had been in the habit of going oat at dusk to the oeighbouring dust-holes, and eating garbage, or any refuse they could get bold of. Ocesaionally the neighbours uaed to visit them to give them bread. The no tice of the parish officials was celled to the case, and hence the present prosecution. The children had been under medical treatment ever since they had been in the house. George Overton ' an inspector of out-door poor, deposed that be went to the address, 31, Devonshire-street, and found the three children in a very emaciated and deplorable condition from starvation, and not having proper clothing. There was no furniture in the place, or food of any &scrip tin. As they were quite unable to walk or stand he got a cab and conveyed them to the workhorses, where they were cleansed and fed._ _ . . A widow named Blanchard, living in the mime house, said she knew the prisoner and his three children. They resided in the back kitchen. The children had been there about , four months. For the first three weeks prisoner lived with them every day. Then he came to them twice • week, and after that tune left them altogether. For the last ten days he had not been to see them at all. She heard them moan on one occasion, and on going into the room saw the youngest child stretched out on some rubbish very ill and emaciated, with only a cap of water by its side. The other two were huddled together for warmth on • heap of rubbish, which swarmed with vermin, and she threw it away. Prisoner upon one or two occasions came there, and she told him that be ought to be ashamed of himself to leave them in that state, and that thew would have • fever in the home. To this he replied, " Oh, no ; they are too tough." They were left without food or firing, and she (witness) sent to the workhouse. M* Mamfield—What are the ages of the children Witness—Teo, eight, and seven veers. Mr. Mansfield—Were they not able to go out Witneas—They had Dotting on them whatever. Mr. Tubbs—My attention was called to the prisoner some time ago, when he was living with a female in Little York mews, and so deplorable was the state of the children then that I said I would summons him. Then he defied me, and shifted them to another place. The children were not brought into court, being still under medical treatment. Mr Mansfield sentenced the prisoner to three months' bard labour. LAMBETH. ElizabdA Ann Law, aged 19, wascharged with concealing the birth of her female illegitimate child. The prisoner was in the service of a lady at Ciunberwell. One morning she called for her mistrals, and mid it was impossible for her to get out of bed. Her mistress then suspected what was the matter, and taxed her with having had a child, which she admitted, and producing a bundle containing a dead infant, said that she did not expect to be confined till a month later. Committed for trial. Tin ALLEGID Poinowiwo AT BALLTNINA.—The magisterial investigation into the circumstances of the death of Ilia Carey, which bas been so frequently postponed, was resumed on Thursday in Ballymena Court-house. Dr. Black, Dr. Rom and Mr. Hodges, chemist, were examined, and repeated the evidence they formerly gave—the two former that deceased's stomach presente d appearances of Irritant poison, tad the latter that, after applying the usual testa, be found no trace of poison in the stomach or its con tents, while the symptoms of dammed's illness were quite consistent with those of typhoid fever. Dr. Black also re peated his statement, that he believed deceased had been violated. In a long crossexamination, to which he was subjected with the view of shaking his credibility, he admitted having been dismissed some years ego by the Newry Board of Guardians from the situation of medical officer which he held under them, on account of a charge made against him by his own daughter of attempting to commit the same offence on her which Dr. Courtenay was alleged to have committed on Him Carey—but the charge, he said wax false and malicious. The cam was again re- Burned on Friday morning, when Mr. Shaw, who is apothe cary at Mercer's Hospital, Dublin, and who saw deceased in h er ill n ess, was examined and gave it as his opinion, founded on his own obeervatiou, and on the evidence given by Dr. Black, that deceased died from the effects of an irritant poison. Some other witnesee having been examined, Mr. O'ltorke, who is conducting the prosecution on the part of the crown, reviewed the evidence in a lengthened speech, and subm itted that he had established a prima facie case which would justify the magistrates in returning Dr. Courtney for trial, either for having administered medicines of a poisonous nature to dammed, or on a ch arg e of mal pi-actin, as a medical man. The smut adjourned till eleven on the following morning.

Ism dis taisaing, and maay =Mug hours spared to doting parade COTTON 000Df3.—MANCHZ81, Mahon 2L —During the week a fair amount of business has been effected in cloth and yarn, but unfortunately there has been nothing in the market indioativeof any permanent improvement in demand. It seems to here been the result of one of those movement. which are too apt to recur in time. of bad trade, when the production is in axons of the requirements of buyers. The latter are disposed at each times to bold back their orders over some four or lye weeks till prices have given way con siderably, and then some indication of a reaction appeariog UHT sweep down upon the market, and make all the pur -1 chews th ey require at nearly the lowest point. The indi cations of a reaction at the close of last week and in the early part of thin were given in the activity and rise in cotton at Liverpool, and on Monday and Tues day there was an amount of excitement and ac tivity in the yarn and cloth market here exceeding anything we have lately seen. The principal demand was fur mule yarns for India, but there were pur chases made, or orders given out, for yarns suitable to almost every market. The banner effeded was considerable, and by the close of Tuesday's market prices had advanced id. to it per lb. on India mule twist and on cop yarns from 32's to Ws, and 20 to 30'e warm. On Bolton yarns the ad vance was 2d. to 3d. per lb. In cloths there was a large busi ness in malls, jacconetn and in madapollams and shirting* of the lighter qualities for India, at an advance of about 6d. per piece on the rates of the previous week. The business in molds was large, and it was the orders given out for these probably that led to activity in what are called the Bolton clan of yarns, on the finer numbers of which there was so considerable an advance of price. After Tuesday the demand fell off rapidly, sod during the lut day or two there has been exceedingly httla business, with somewhat easier pries. Yarns have lost about half the advance gained on Tuesday, but cloth not quite so much. WOOLLEN.—Lzens, MAace 21.—The coloured market this morning presented a somewhat more animmed appear. anon than of late. There was a good attendance of buyers, and rather more doing, almost entirely in the light spring fabric that have recently led the demand. Pot plain goods there was not much inquiry • and the White-ball was spin very quiet. Bates remain generally speaking firm. HARDWARE,—Bouanousm, Mseca 21.—The Mule of this town matinees in a very satisfactory 'tat.. There is a good amount of Magness doing, without stocks being in any way increased. Manufacturers generally admit that this quarter there has bean mach more business date than there was last or the preceding year. At this moment and for some time past there has been in the town a very groan amount of unemployed labour, and at all the large menu. futoriee the men are on at full time. With reference to !Instate of particular trades there has not been any change of importance for several weeks. In the vulvae branches classed u the metal trades thereto nosurcity of orders ; the rmtallic bedstead makers, metal relieve, and edge tool makers are busy ; and the condition of some other of the leading trade* appears to be no lees satisfactory. In some of the fancy trades • degree of sluggishness in still felt, and the button trade is reliving but slowly, except in one or two department.. In the adjoining district a fair amount of activity prevails in all the most important branches ; there are some fair orders in for railway fittings ; the casting trade ' is pretty good, and all the large works on the Dudley side of the county are in full operation ; at ftedditch, the needle. maker. are busy. The preliminary meeting of the iron. master of the district will be held next Thursday, but it is not anticipated that there will be any change in prices. CORN.

The supply of barley being above the demand, it met a slow sale, at last week's rates. A few seed samples of oats and barley sold for 61. per bushel above quotations.

The supply of young pigs, though larger than that of last week, 45 eartloads being on offer, was far short of the demand. Owing to the high races, home purchasers had great difficulty in getting sup plied, and jobbers could only get stooks at a disadvantage. Most of the lots were composed of good animals, the market in this respect being considerably above the average. Prices for pigs ranged from 17.. up to 245., the average being about Us. ; and shots at from 25e. up to 35e. An early clearance was effected, most of the lots going out.

Creamsll summed up, suggesting that the cue of cruelty which had been made by the petitioner was in some respects absurd, and in others manifestly exonerated. The letter which bad 'men put in yesterday, and which the yeti. tionet said her husband had dictated to iler, bore on the face of it intrinsic evidence of being the wi:ter's own production, and it went far to dispose of her allegations. The leotard judge also pointed out the very suspicious character of the evidence which had been given to prove the charged of adultery. The jury, however, after withdrawing for about an hour sad a quarter, found a verdict for the petitioner on both WOW. This result appeared to cause some surprise. Ths wart made a demos nsi, with costa. LUDLOW 5. LUDLOW (uuurnalawncorkszc.) Mr. Francis and Mr. Pritchard for the petitioner; the Queen's Advocate and Dr. Spinks for the respondent On the 6th of February, 1840, at fit. Pancras church, Captain Samuel Owen Edger Ludlow, of the Madras Engineer., married Luly Elizabeth Kerr, and he afterward. cohabited with her in various puts of the world till September, 1850, when he left her in London to go back to India. The union, which had resulted in the birth of five children (of whirl four survived) had not been • happy one. In September, 1857, the respondent wrote to his wife a very long letter, in which, a fte r describing the peril he might be placed in through the mutiny, and the necessity he felt himself under of making his peace with God, he prayed her forgiveness for all his failures 111 his duty to her as • husband ; but be intimated that thou failures would not have been so great if she had paid him that debt of love and obedieue which she owed him am • wife. In March,lB6l, he returned to London alieutenant-colonelin the corps to which be belonged, and took lodgings at the bones of Mary Ann Anstey, in Porteusatreet With this person, who was said to have been connected with the stage, he formed an illicit connection, and be bad since cohabited with her at Soulibore, near Tunbridge Wells, u Colonel and Mrs. Ludlow. The petition was for a dissolution on the ground of cruelty and adultery ; but Mr. Francis maid he only intended to ask fora judicial separation ; and, at the suggestion of the Court. he desisted from tendering evidence to support the first charge. Sir R. Phillimore remarked that it was only due to • very distioguished officer to say that if it had been gone into he should have been prepared to meet it with a com plete denial ; but he had no defence to the plea of The court pronounced for • judicial separation as prayed.

Mr. Rose not knowing but that they bad stepped at the usual platform, t out, and after going to the anommodation-room, proceeded to a pair of doors that stood open, and on the outride of which he could see the Derby cabstand and the Derby gas lamps. This proved to be the hone and carriage dock, end, on stepping, as he thought, into the street, be fell into a hole where they run the horse and oarrisge trucks. Be was picked up in an insensible state, and carried to the King's Head Hotel. Mr. Gisborne, an eminent surgeon of Derby, was called in, and it was found that his arm was fractured, and that he had received other injuries. Mrs. Rae was sent for, and the plaintiff kept his bed at the King's Head Hotel for three weeks. In • month afterwards he was able to resume his duties, but he bad not yet recovered from the injuries to his arm, which he still our kd in • sling. On the day after the accident Mr. °Morn, surgeon, maw Mr. Needham, the Midland coaching superintendent, and pointed out to him the great certiorari there must have been in leaving the doors open. Mr. Needham said the doors ought to have been kept abut, but it was impossible to get the men to attend to it. It was a moveable tform when the accident occurred, and the doors wen used to let out hones and trucks, and ought always to have been closed when not being used. The plaintiff, Mr. Oisborne, and other witnesses, having been examined, Mr. Serpent Hayes said his line of defence would be that the plaintiff met with the accident through hie own careless ness, and that the Midland were not liable. Him lordship said that although the plaintiff had booked himself on another company's line, still the Midland Coro may were liable for any accident that oocurred on their plat form. If the plaintiff hod been crushed between two North Stafford carriages it would have been different. At the end of the plaintiff% case, Mr. Serjeant Hayes, on the part of the oompany, coeseuted to a verdict for plaintiff for 2,3C01. and costs bat said the question of general lia bility would be tried in another court.

TO ISE lIDITOI OF TEI ZIPIRMIL, SIR,—A very lengthy programme bag been issued for the that of the aristocratic race meetings of 1863, but no great excitement has yet been created by the many im portant °yenta contained therein, and we must suppose it has been " bottled up" for Tuesday and Wednesday next, the *woe of opseations being so easily got at—in much better time than • journey to Newmarket, and for half the money—that writs have probably only been biding their time, intending to carry on their speculations oa the course, and thus avoid burning their fingers, as the majority did who commenced early on ,the Liverpool Grand National. The list is • most tempting one, seventeen contests being proposed, and thirteen of them have already closed, the chief displaying • fair average of entries and accept anus, ea those for the Northamptonshire Stakes number 45, for the Whittlebury 40, for the Earl Spencer's Plate 32, for the Althorp Perk Stakes 30, and for the St. Leger Handicap, 38. These events elope are interesting enough to maintain the excitement of • two days' meeting, should the remainder pew off ever so tamely ; and the Trial Stakes and Queen's Guineas, that have yet to be entered for, are truly great events here, • better class of animals generally contesting them than are to be observed elsewhere. TOZBDAT.—The Whittlebury Stakes, for two and three year olds, time-quarters of • mile, have been won for the last three years by the older horses, although they have been in • decided minority as regards the numbers entered ; and the character may be well kept upon Tuesday next, foe it will require a good two-year-old at Get. Sib. or Cot. filb. to beat the best of the following : st lb at Fantastic . . . Livingstone Westherbow l3 Brother to Karoo= .... Cairneastle ll Glance tat Barebettina Vilistrance Cassidia Fantastic and Livinptosie have displayed firstobas forms over short diatances ; but the latter's infirmity may stand in hie way over such • severe six furlongs, and I doubt Pentangle's ability to give the 7lb to Camelia, who might do tattle for Lord Stamford. She, in turn, has • • most daagerous opponent in Fiancee, as when they met last autumn at even weights it was • nee with them for • long way, Camidis winning by • length, with Tornado, giving 31b away, a nook before Fiancee. Put Tornado in among the above at Bst 51b, and everybody would want to be on • con. acquestly Mr. Naylor should just beet Lord Stamfor d,' and the colours of the two gentlemen may be discovered first and second, as last year. The Northamptonshire Stakes Handicap, two miles, few hotses have been backed in ear nest for, the movements during the last few days showing that a select few have little faith io the pretensions 'of Ald minder, Garse, Berkeley, Canzonette, Voluptaii, and Chaff, who are all on the retard list, after figuring as pretty good favourites in turn. Osrishrook, Huntsford, Manat-Arms, Grinuton Mellitus, the Lady . Evelyn colt, African, Free holder, enlist, Brother to Springbok, and Zeloo are in a position in the market betokening that their (needs will have • "good run for their mosey;" Fairwater, Herding - ton, &Main, Benjamin, Harlequin, Lord Stanley, one of Kr. Hughes's, Dunsinane, and Lilco° comprising the only others talked about as at all likely to swell the field. Of fthese, Benjamin and Horlequin were universally considered well in" when the handicap first made its appearance, the latter being just the horse to get over the ground, and no two-mile course in England could snit him better, but be will hardly run without being backed, and certainly no money has been entrusted to him yet. Fairwater it an other whose chance always appeared a good one of paper; and I doubt whether she has not, at times, shown her self a better clam animal by 9lb than the favourite Knuliford, and a stone better than Grimston. This pair, nevertheless, carries nearly all the clever people's money, and Knntafordigterling qualities foe a sever* race entitle him, under the circumstances, to the most favourable con sideration, one of the best outsiders being the Lady Evelyn colt, who might obtain we of the coveted places, in the event of such horses as Harlequin, Fairwater, and W. Dey's two fi llies ( Cauzonette and Voluptan) not going foe the money. Revolver in the Cup Stakes, Canaria& in the Stand Plate, Golden Drop and Sea Nymph in the New Handicap, and lianrico in the Match, look most trustworthy, the other 'yenta being at present out of my compass.

THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOII&L On Saturday, Sir Robert Carden said that he had received several letters in the course of the morning from different ladies who had received a letter from the man who called himself Robertson, after having answered an advertisement in the Times for a governess. The letter iteelf was in almost every instance inclosed, and it wee exactly similar to the one produced the other day b► Mr. Beard. In one or two instances the letter was, however, in French, and held forth promises of " high salary with ver► little labour." In one can the young lady lud in closed the sum of tee shillings to Robertson, as part of the first advance, but had never since heard any more from him. Another letter stated that Robertson was the notorious Flynn, who was convicted some time ago for seducing young governesses, and the writer signed her self "One of his Victims." Sir Robert remarked that the letters proved that the system of defrauding unsuspecting female' had no doubt been carried on to a great extent by thi Robertson, and he hoped the publicity which bad been given would put others on their guard. Amongst the let ters was one from Paris, addressed to Mr. Pollsky, in soswer to an inquiry he bad caused to be made in Paris, stating that Robertson's character was bad, and that his offices were a garret s and that he had lately decamped without paying the very low rent, and also without wait ing for the completion of some circulars which be ordered to be printed. The circulars were similar in words to the letters which have been sent hitherto. GUILDHALL. - - David Parker, a Isaipmaker, wassummoned for neglect ing to maintain his wile, whereby she had become charge able to the parish of St. Andrew. Holborn. The defence met up was that the wife had been guilty of adultery with a carpenter, and evidence was produced to show that they bad been repeatedly seen in company to gether at variant public places of amusement and in private, and more particularly in an empty house where the latter was employed. There wes no diatinct evidence, however, of improper conduct, and the magistrate therefore ordered the defendant to meintain his wife, but he acceded to the request of the defendant's attorney to adjourn the OLIO for the production of further evidence. MARYLEBONE THZ MURDER •T CHATHAM. The ease of the lad Robert Alexander Burton, who was convicted at Maidstone, on Wednesday, of mar der under very peculiar circumstances, appears to create a I groat deal of public interest, but no step have yet been taken by any parties to procure any commutation of the sactenoe. The miserable culprit still exhibits the nine recklessness and hardihood of demeanour that have charac terised him ever sines the commission of the crime. It bee been already stated that he actually laughed in the fees of the learned judge, who was himself deeply effected, when he passed judgment of death upon him, and after he had been taken back to the gaol, be very coolly asked to be allowed to have an additional allow ance of food and also some beer, which he said he bed understood was always given to prisoners under sentence of death from the period of their conviction to the sentinel being carried out. He added that he believed that they were also entitled to have tobacco, and he said if that was the cue, he should like to have some. The culprit was in ' formed that he was quite wrong in hi supposition, and that he would only receive the usual allowance, unless the medical officer thought fit to order any addition to it. The prisoner was very angry when this was told him, and he was not pacified until - he was informed that his application should be laid before the visiting justices of the prison, who had the power to grant his request if they thought proper to do so. The culprit does not appear to entertain the slightest fear of death, bet on the contrary he actually seems to exult in the prospect that awaits him. He stated to Mr. Everest, the superin tendent of police by whom be was taken into custody, that it was of no use talking to him about what he had done, and the consequences that would result to him. He mid he knew all about it, and had made up his mind, and if the officer came to see him executed he would find him just the same at the last moment, and he might rely that he should not flinch. The prisoner, who was born at Chobbam and who had heed there all his life, was of Douse well known not only to most of the inhabi biota but also to the police, and there never seems to have been the slightest idea entertained by any one that his mind was deranged. He was, however, always considered to be a very violent bad-tempered lad, a nd he has on several miesaions committed serious wealth upon persons who have given him offence. He was formerly employed as a sort of waiter or potman at different public-houses, but he seemed latterly not to have been able to procure any regular em. ployment. He was for a short time in the sande* of Ifs. Clark, but be detected him in pilfering, and he was taken ' before the magistrates at Rochester and summarily con victed end sentenced to two months' imprisonment. He I openly avowed his intention to be revenged upon his master for causing him to be punished ; and if he had not fortucately removed from the neighbour hood during the period the prisoner was in confinement, there appears to be ground for supposing that the •prisoner would have selected him for has victim ; iodised he has repeatedly made use of expressions to that effect, not only to Superintendent Everest, but also to other per sons. The usual custom with regard to the carrying out of capital sentences in the county of Kent is that they shall take place on the third market day after the conviction, so that in the ordinary course the execution of the prisoner will take place on Thursday, the 9th of April, at 12 o'clock. He has been visited by his sister and one or two other rela tives since he has been in confinement ; but he never ex hibits the least appearance of feeling. and in the letters be has written to his relatives the only complaint he appoint to make is that he is not allowed to have beer and tobacco while he is in prison.
