LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER & EARTHQUAKES are not absolutely unknown in England, but it may safely be affirmed that the oldest inhabitant remembers nothing of their oc currence ; so rare, and slight, and doubtful were the shocks which no physical geographer has taken the trouble to record. Yet, to judge from the letters published yesterday, the phenomena of shaken houses, and cracking wainscots, andagitated crockery, and stopped family clocks, and deranged four-posters, are not unprecedented in quiet country totem, where strong winds, and convivial habits, and a dearth of conversational topics and curtain lectures may be supposed to prevail. In the neighbourhood of London, whether because sub urban people kc ep later hours or are more simple minded, the tremor of last Monday night is more easily accepted as • gratifying novelty. There is some reason to apprehend that the miscella neous reports from the districts over which the vibration ranged will constitute a very small pro portion of mere fact to a large supply of farcical and fussy excitement. Funny concoctors for the stage will be the richer for some hints, but science, we fear, will have gained nothing. Probably we may owe more accurate data to the eminent observers who outwatch the stars, and who may have something to tell us about the condition of the sun's face, and (according to • theory mentioned by Hun- DOLDT) the influence exercised by the attraction of the moon and sun. But, in truth, there is no forecasting these subterranean tides and tempests ; their causes are conjectural, and their analogies are splendid efforts of imagination. Many of our readers must have remarked within the last few months the singular tendency of social smalltalk towards imposing theories of great comical revolutions. Who has not heard, we will not say between the figures of, a quadrille, but between sips of tea and tattle, some tremen dous scandal about the irregularities of "the Gulf " Stream," and the consequent change of our British temperature ? The Gulf Stream is a terrible offender. It is going to abolish winter in these islands and make us tropical once more. It is even darkly suggested that the great Southern basin of salt water is running over, and that our time is almost due for going to the bottom in a lump again. All this and much more is the enlightened twaddle of fashionable society, which in the pauses of religious dissipation and charitable dancing amuses its ennui with cheap and popular science, and talks of electricity as familiarly as maidens do of puppy dogs. An earthquake will hardly surprise such people ; it will confirm their previsions, and by combining their information they will explain it as the first of • series of movements which are to end in the great globe itself turning topsy-turvy, and earth and ocean changing places. It is upon ordinary minds, which cannot grasp the immensity of the Unknown, that a trembling of the earth will always leave • serious impres sion. " I do not think," writes Hun- BOLD; "that this impression is produced by " the recollection at the moment of the dreadful " images of destruction which historic relations of " past catastrophes have presented to onr imagi " nations : it is rather occasioned by the circum " stance that our innate confidence in the immo " bility of the ground beneath us is at once " shaken. From our earliest childhood we are " accustomed to contrast the mobility of the water " with the immobility of the earth ; all the evi " dances of our senses have confirmed this be "lie[; and when suddenly the ground itasil! " shakes beneath us, a natural force of which we " had no previous experience presents itself as a " strange and mysterious agency. A single in. " stunt annihilates the illusion of oar whole pre " vious fife ; we feel the imagined repose of " nature vanish, and that we are ourselves i.llOl - ported into the realm of unknown destructive " forces. Every sound affects us—our attention " is strained to catch even the faintest movement "of the air—we no longer treat the ground " beneath our feet. . . . . To man "the earthquake conveys a sense of danger "of which he knows not the extent or limit. " The eruption of a volcano, the flowing stream of " lava threatening his habitation, can be fled " from ; but in the earthquake, turn where be " will, danger and destruction are around h n and " beneath his feet." And yet Huneourr had spent years in countries where, es he says, "at " particular periods the inhabitants no more count " the earthquake shocks than we in Europe count " the number of showers of rain." If this great and humble student of Nature,who had more than ono% as he rode through the South American forests, felt the earth trembling continuously beneath his mule's feet foe fifteen or eighteen minutes, could feel so profoundly and describe so eloquently the terrors of an earthquake, the population of an English country town may well plead guilty of consternation at the sudden and unaccountable shal:ng of their walls and stopping of their clocks last Monday night Comparing the various reports already received from the districts over which the wave of agitation travelled, we gather that the shocks were as nearly as possible simultaneous from Milford Haven to Burton-upon-Trent, and from the Mersey to Ply mouth. The sky appears to have been clear and the air @tin, an observation quite consistent with the experience of travellers in countries where earth quakes are moat frequent and violent. The shocks were in many if not in most places unaccom panied by any subterranean noise, which would have aggravated the alarm, though not the danger. Many destructive earthquakes have been entirely noiseless ; and. we may add, have hap pened in nnvolcanic districts. Looking at the mar, we should be disposed to call this a " circular " earthquake, were it not that physical geographers consider " circular " earthquakes to be the most dangerous and the most rare. If the move ment was really in cross directions, it must have been considerably slighter than the load witnesses report, or their houses must have suf fered ra ms. We must wait for further and more exact evidence, consoling our readers meanwhile with the reflection that, according to the highest authorities, the surface of the Earth is always MU.I.VrI4{CFN me .AI 101 shaking somewhere.

The Cologne Gazette professes to give the sub stance of a despatch relative to the affair of Hol stein, which was sent by Earl Russell to the Diet on the 29th of September. Our contemporary says : The leading idea of the Eogl'ab minister appears to be that the right of the Confederation does not extend no far uto put in question the constitution of the entire Danish moaarcily and the subm'aion of it to the will of the Garment, Diet. Lord Russell niootoiles that the ordi nance of the 30th of March dote not satisfy the demands of the Confederation concerning Schleswig. He does not pet in doubt the principles of the constitutional regime —for example, the obligation impow lon the Doke of Holden to take the assent of the representatives of the duchy for the administration of the flumes at the country. He even recognises, up to a certain point, the justice of tie Federal essential. But he constantly returns to this idea, that it cannot be permitted that a veto ef the States ef Holstein and Lauenbourg shell prevent the indispensable measure of defence on the pert of Deetnsrk splint a to reign enemy, !paralyse ail the action of the Dastab mo narchy, and compromise ite integi:ty and iedependeoce. He reeds on this head the obligations which result far England from the protocols of London—obligations equally cce treated by the nmereigue of Austria rid Pt cola. Wand, says Lord Rama, could not view with Parfferince a nOl - occupation of Holstein, which could not take place save under conditions affecting the coesti tution of the whole Danish monarchy. The note shows indirectly that England will not consider a military occupation of this kind a legitimate exercise of the powers of the Coefederation, and that in the interest of Denmark and Europe it could not be realised without difficulty. A serious invitation is made to the Germanic Diet to submit the dispute to the mediation of other powers, who. w:thont being interested in the affair itself, art very mach so in the maintenance of the peace of Europe and the independence of Denmark. The note is short and conciliatory. The Nord observes that there are two points of par ticular importance in the above despatch. The first is that England recognises that the Dan;sh decree of March 30 is not conformed to the engagements previously contracted by Denmark, a•nd that on this account Federal execution would be justified. The second is that the cabinet of London cannot approve the final object which Germany proposes to herself in occupying Holstein, since the demands of the Confederation tend to nothing less than the establishment in Denmark of a state of things irreconcileable with the integrity and independence of the Danish monarchy. " Thus," says the Nord, " Earl Russell puts Denmark in the wrong as to the ordinance of the 30th March, and puts Germany in the wrong with regard to the final object of the execution. This distinction, the justice of which we cannot deny, seems to us of a nature to render possible • provisional arrangement, and to remove, at least for the moment, the dangers of a conflict. Let Denmark abolish the ordinance of the 30th of March, and let Denmark announce the execution ; in a word, let the two parties with draw provisionally from the strife, and leave to neutrals the care and the difficulties of an arrange ment which they have not succeeded in realising themselves."

The North German Lloyd's steamer Hansa, from New York on the afternoon of the 28th, has arrived off Cowea en route for Bremen. She brings 124 passengers, 250,000 dohs. for England, 10,000 dole. for France, and 2,000 for Bremen ; 1,000 tons cargo, and 34 bags mails. The steamer Anglia, from Galway, arrived at Boston on the 2Oth ult., and the Bavaria, from Southampton, arrived at New York on the same day. NEW YORK, &Fr. 26, AnzaigooN. In the battle of the 20th inst. the Federal army is said to have suffered much from the absence of command, Rowers= having returned to Chatta nooga before the engagement was over. Two corps commanders were also absent. it is stated that the defeat of the Federal army was rather the result of inefficient tactics than of deficient numbers. General Thomas only saved the army from utter annibgation. General Rosecrans attributes the lona of the battle to bi‘Cook's disobedience of orders. The New York Herald of Sept. 26 says : The telegrams from Chattanooga are to Thursday night. and give further assurance that Rosserans' position can be smiled only by a regular siege. The nisei of the rebel in haley are congregated in Chattanooga Creek valley. The rebel cavalry have been recently very demonstrative. A recomnisessee yesterday developed the fact that the rebels were in form in Roseanne' front, but evinced no disposition to renew the engagement. We have received the details of the recent heavy fighting in Northern Georgia, and we pre sent them to our readers as we have them. It is stated at Washington that all military prisoners paroled by the rebels up to September 1 have been de clared exchanged, and will be returned to duty at once • This will give a very large additional force to oar army, and of men who have seen service in the field. The rebels are still largely in arrears for an offset to their own paroled pri soners which they have declared exchanged. We give on the fourth page of this morning's paper a very complete map of the state of Texas and its boundaries, in order that our readers may fully understand the movement now in progress having in view the occupation of that por tion of our territory still in possession of the rebels nosier ' Magruder. The Saline Pam expedition, although aban doned on account of the navel portion not being sufficient or adapted for the work, does not in any manner interfere with the movement, which is doubtless now being carried to a succeedul and brilliant terroinatioe. The burdary line with Mexico—the Rio Grande—will show how very near our forces will be to those of Napoleon when we suc ceed in occupying Fort Brown, the French army being on the opposite aide of the river, at Matamoras, not half a mile distant. LIVERPOOL, WZDSZ&DAY Evsarnio. The Canadian mail steamer Damascus, which left Quebec on the 26th ult., and which landed telegraphic messages yesterday (Tuesday) morning at Greencastle, arrived in the Mersey this evening, after several hours' detention by fog off this port. The New York Times of the 24th says : There is important news from the army of the Potomac, bait it N bedsit that nothing but the main feature should be published at present, which is that Meade's cavalry and a portion of his infantry are south of the Rapidan, and that our cavalry have penetrated as far as Omega Cowl House, without meeting with any signs of the rebels in force. If the rehabs have retired upon Gordoseville there must either be a battle there soon or a retreat of one or other con- fronting simian. Our reports this morning of the g:eat battles near Chattanooga, contain additional and highly interesting details, all of which corroborate the previous tele‘ram, announcing suietaatial success to our arms. Oo Monday aftet.xxin the enemy again fiercely attacked the corps of General Thomas, as it was falling back to Chattanooga, but was gallantly repulsed through the skilful masceuvring of General Thomas, whose splendid headlined his men has begs conspicuous in all the fight ing. At midnight Geueral Rasecrans had his entire army in a strong defensive position, which he could hold easily until the arrival of reisforosmenta, which we are assured are peemieg forward to his relief. Oar last despatch stet: s that on Tuesday the enemy was thrisieeing another attack, and it L likely that the battle was resumed yesterday Via Farkas Monroe we have an of report from Bragg, in which he claims to have captured 20 pieces of tallery and 2,1500 prisoners, but admits a very heavy lore, especially of officers. A Richmond paper of the 22nd lest., received at Fot trees Monroe, states that General Gnmore's works at Monts Island are rapidly increasing in strength and extent. The same paper repine that the Confederate government had ' effected a ken d 100,000,000fram from parties in France, ' based upon cotton new in the Southern States. The Louisville Journal had received information, which it erudite, that on Monday night the right and left wings of General Rosecrans' army rested on the battle field. Reinforcements, numbers not stated, from Grant, vitt Decatur, were to have reached him oc the 22nd. Rosecrans' headquarters are four mike from the battle field, in rear of the centre. Rosecrans was in good spirits and hopeful of a complete and decisive victory over Bragg, Johnston, and Longatreet. It was reported that A. P. Hill was in command of the Confederate forma opposed to Rosecrans. The Confederates were fall'ng back on Sbriveport, Louisiana; Kirby Smith was in command. A Washington despatch to the New York Times says that orders to General Burnside to reinforce Rosecrans left there on the 14th, and could not possibly have reached him before the 17th. It was utterly impossible for him to have reached Chatta nooga (150 miles) in time to meet Bragg's attack on the 20th. The Tribune publishes a letter from Norfolk, Virginia, which says General Lee has been in Charles ton within a few days ; and the probability is that he will superintend the final struggle for Chatta nooga. A despatch from General Rosecrans, dated the evening of the 23rd, says :—"I cannot be dis lodged from my present position." The following are the latest Southern details, extracted from the Richmond papers: Chicloaussogs,Georg:s, Sept. 20. Atter two days' hard fighting we have dri;en; the enemy, attar a desperate resistance, from several positions, but he still coetronta us. The loess are heavy so both sides, especi a lly so i s our atoms. We have taken 20 pieces of artillery sad 2, 50 0 ptiseemes. Baca 1 . 011 The Richmond Dirpatelt nye :—" Boeseraes has been heavily reinforced by troops from Gnat's army." The Richmond Whig of the Zia reports :—"Throe days' hard fighting in Northern Georgia, with heavy losses oe both sides. The Cootederate loss is 5,000, Melodies many valuable oaken Amon the killed are lihsedise-Geuerals ?restos, Smith, Woffeed, Waltham, Helm, sod Deshler. Among the wouoded are Brigadier-Gesenls Adams, Brown, Gregg, Bees, Prestos, aeburne, sod Banning. General Hood, who was wounded, is Moos dead." Atlanta, Georgia, Sept. 22. The fight atin got* on. We have every coofidence the enemy will be driven from their present stand, kfiesion Ridge, siz to eight miles from Chattanooga. In the three days' fight the enemy were drives across Pea Vine Creek and the West Chickamauga, about 11 miles, to his present position. The Clyde-built steamer Jupiter had been cap tured in attempting to run the blockade of So.. vannah. THE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON. The latest Confederate amounts of the siege of Charleston state that the Feder*Us were working with great energy on Forts Gregg sod Wagner. Fort Moultrie and Battery Bee, on Sullivan's Island, and batteries Simkins, Chores, and Haskell, coutinued to keep up a steady fire on Morris Island. FROM PARIS. (non oua °wig PARIS, WIDNISDAT EVESIIIO. The news that Prince Ladislas Czartoryaki had officially asked the cabinets of Paris and London to recognise the Polish government is met by the Pays by an equivocation upon the word " official." Nu doubt, it says, the National Government desires to be recognised by the great powers, and this de airs may have been expressed by Prince Czarto ryaki ; "but we think we know that no official demand has been addressed to the French govern ment." This is, indeed, wretched quibbling. The semi-official journal only gives information to the very ignorant. Everybody the least au courant in politics knows that Prince Czartoryski is not an officially received diplomatist, and so far, therefore, it is impossible that be can have made any official demand in the ordinary sense of the term. The important fact is that he thinks he sees in the present crisis an opportunity to put himself forward which he had not seen before. This the Pays does not deny. The France is more frank on the subject. It says that the prince has no capacity at present to make a " formal demand ;" but it considers it " not impossible that the treaties in virtue of which Russia holds Poland may be declared cancelled " that is to say that England may convert Lord Russell's declaration into a diplomatic act, and then the governments of France and England might take Prince Czartoryaki's proposal into con sideration. The Nation► strongly objects. to the suggestion thrown out ; it says : To recognise Poland is not so my • thing as Priem Czartoryski would persuade himself. The essential element of recognition is absolutely wanting. We know very well the Paris delegate of the National Committee, but the National Committee itself we do sot know. When Greece was recognised the Turks had been driven out of Athees ; when Belgium was recognised the Dutch were no longer in Brussels; but the Rcei•ns are still in Warsaw, and the is. rorrection, whose centre is unknown, is not yet mistress of any portion of the country. The observation has been thrown out that the attitude now assumed by Prince Czartoryslr; strongly argues the falsity of the news given the other day that General Mieroslaweki bad been made commander-in-chief by the National Committee— because Mieroalawski and the Czartoryski's are, so to speak, at daggers drawn, the one name repre senting the republican and revolutionary, and the other the catholic and conservative element of the Polish rebellion. Some people now say th►t " war is in the air." M. E. de Girardin, the great champion of pesos, pretends to throw up the cards, and loudly pro claims that he is " conquered " by M. Gneroult, the uncompromising advocate of war even without allies. I cannot tell what the Emperor, who has just come to Paris, may mean to do, but I perceive that the semi-official journals steadily stick to their old text, which, as formulated anew by the France to-night, is " The object from the first, and now, was, and is, satisfaction of the rights of Poland by the intervention of Europe." That still means peace, because Europe will not run in the groove long ago scooped out by the Tuileries and be dragged into a war ; although the Pays says to-night that Emote is desirous, prompt, and eager to go forward. The Prtfie thinks that Prince Czartcalsiti's demand is not worth serious consideration ; but admitting, for the sake of argument, that it should be successful, what would the Poles gain ? " Dis astrous encouragement. If Austria should refuse to follow the other two powers, what would be the use of the recognition ? It would be at beat but • derisory epitaph upon the tomb of Poland." The France says that its correspondents affirm very positively that a commercial treaty has lately been made between France and Italy, and that it is even pretended that " more intimate relations still exist between the two powers." There are now many symptoms of an uneasy feeling between France and Italy. The Moniteur speaks with sore ness of the recent grand review, which, it will be remembered, was not attended by any Frendi officer in uniform, and alleges that the expense of such demonstrations is so great that Victor Emma nuel cannot afford any more. A semi-official print says there are to be no more reviews because they excite the people too much on the subject of Rome and Venice. _ - M. Curb, the government candidate for Bor deaux, was returned by a bare majority of 40 votes only against M. Lavertujon, the able editor of the Gironde, who was the popular candidate. The iniquities by which this poor majority was secured were so many and so flagrant, even as compared with prefectoral achievements in other parts of the country, that no doubt is entertained but that the election will be I declared void when the Corps Legielatif meets. A prosecution has now been instituted against M. Lavertujon for a libel upon the prefect, and the shameful object hoped to be attained is to get a conviction under one of the coup (rata decrees, which will incapacitate him from being a candidate at a second election. It may be hoped that the Bordeaux judges, following the wholesome example lately set by their brethren in many political cases, will frustrate this design. At the Bourse to-day the outsiders, the remains of the "coulisse," who have been for some time tole rated,were driven out by gendarmes and the police. This measure is a symptom of an apprehended fall. Rente to-day fell 20c., and the market was very heavy. Mr. Knatchbull-Hugeasen, M. P. , has been addres sing hie rooatitnents at Deal. Prefacing his remarks on geoeral topics with the observation that foreign affairs had taken all attention from domestic concerns, he spoke of Poland. While commiserating the oondition of the Poles, and denouncing the conduct of Russia, be declared his un willingness to enter upon a war on account of Poland. With reforest* to America he insisted that slavery was the real muse of the war there, and that that fact ought to prevent oar sympathising with the South. He thought that a dial. 'ion of the republic would be advantageous, and most strongly commended the attitude of neutrality which Rag land had maintained. He concluded by praising the admi nistration of Lord Palmerston.

THE EXPEDITION AGAINST THE RIFF.—A com munication from Madrid, in the Ind4endance, says:— " The telegraph may have informal you that the projected expedition against the Riff will not take place. the Emperor of Morocco having ouaseeted to all the exigencies of Spun. Sidi-Muley Abbas has received orders to parsed with a considerable army to Melilla, and chastise the Kabyles who took part ie the attack on the garrison of that tows. The question is therefore solved for the moment, and until some fresh incident takes place, no warlike operations against Mosrooco are to be thought of."

THE NEW BRAZILIAN LOAN. The Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Loan for 3,300,0001. is announced through Messrs. Roths child& Below we give the official prospectus IMPERL&L BRAZILIAN POUR-AND-A-HAL? PER CENT. wax 1863 roe 3,300,0001. Ilia Majesty the Emperor of Brazil having, under date of the Bth June, 1863, authorised a loan of 3,300,0004 sterling, for the purpose of redeeming in London the Five per Cent. Loan o f 1843, amounting to 382,000., due on the Ist January, 1864 ; likewise redeeming the Five per Cent. Loans of 1824 and 1825, amounting together to 2,357,90 W., due on the lst April, 1864, and of discharging in Brazil with the balance the dusting Treasury Bonds, N. M. Rothschild and Sons, U m ,. cial agents of the imperial government, have to announce that they are ready to receive at their office subscriptions for this loan. It will b e emitted in bonds to bearer for 10W., 500!., and 1,0001. each, carrying interest at 4* pa. cent. per annum, in coupons payable half-yearli in LJudon on the Ist April and Ist October each year, the first half-year's dividend being due the let April, 1864. The bonds are to be issued for 30 years, and will be redeemed by a sinking fund of it. 13e. per cent. per annum, operating half-yearlyby purchases on the market when at or under par, and by draw. ings by lot when above par. The price of emission is 881. for every 100/. stock, payable as follows : 15 per cent. on allotment. 15 19 16th November, 1863. 15 15th December, 1863. 10 PP 15th January, 1864. 33 IP 22nd March, 186 i. To subscribers who prefer payment by anticipa. tiou of the above periods a discount at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum will be allowed. Applications for this loan must be made, and be accompanied with a deposit of five per ceut. on the amount applied for. In case the allotment should not require the whole deposit, the surplus will be returned ; if it be insufficient for the first instalment on the amount allotted the balance required must be paid forthwith. Scrip receipts will be issued, which will be exchanged for the bonds after payment of the last instalment. Applications will be received until Monday even ing the 11th inst. _ _ New-court, St. Swithin'sdane, E.C., Oct. 7, 1863. We have reason to believe that this loan has not been brought forward until arrangements have been completed for securing to it substantial support. It is known, indeed, that a number of the principal monied houses have already signified their wish to take large amounts. The success of the operation is thus assured. This result has been rendered the more easy because the present loan differs from some that have preceded it in being offered to the public at a price which affords a fair margin of profit to the subscriber. The price of issue is 88 per cent., and the allowances for deferred payment bring it down to a fraction below 87, while the present market quotation for the existing Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cent. stock is 93 to 94, including dividend from the Ist of June last. The price three days ago (which per haps affords a better criterion) was 94 to 95. As another point in favour of the new loan, it will be noticed that it makes no addi tion to the existing debt of Brazil, the form of which is merely changed—that is to say, bonds maturing in London on the Ist January and Ist April next to the amount of 2,719,900 i. will be redeemed, as will also certain treasury bonds afloat in Brazil. It is satisfactory to remark that apart from the virtual funding of this latter form of loud debt into foreign bonds, the affair will involve no draught upon our stocks of gold, or our money market, as the foreign bonds to be paid off are held chiefly in England. The list is to be closed on Monday evening next, and it is not doubted that the loan will be covered several times over. CHARGE OF WILFUL CHILD MURDER. A CHILD BURIED ALIVE. At the police•court, yesterday, before Mr. C. L Harford, Col. Newmaa, and Mr. W. Jones, Eitho Jordan, a respectably dressed and quiet-looking servant girl, at present out of place, but who bad filled her lot situation eleven years, was charged with the wilful murder of her illegitimate child. The inquiry was merely of a preliminary character, the evidence tendered being only for the wpm' of a remand. It, however. appeared that the prisoner had been confined about three weeks ago in the Cheltenham Workhouse, and bad, within the last day or two, gone es a visit to • Mrs. Clarke, of Hedy° Cottage, Boddington. She did not, however, take her child with her. On Mooday evening Mr. Clarke was in his garden. wises be beard the aayyd a child, and upon searchiog found that the mould uadeesesih a bush had bees disturbed. Upon examining the spot he discovered that a child had been buried there alive, covered by shout an tech of mould. He removed the earth and took out the child, which was wrapped in flannel, and handed it to the prisoner, who just - then came in from a walk. He accused her of being the mother and of burying the child, but she denied it. He had the child placed in a warm bath to restore ard mation to its limbs, which had booms cold, and sent to the police-station. Sergeant Hopkins shortly after wards anived on the spot, and charged the prisoner with the offence. She at first denied it, bet subsequently ad• miffed being the mother, and that she bed buried the child. The sergeant examined the hob, and found it to be about six inches in depth. He then brought the child and its mother to the Cheltenham station. The child lingered Fo convulsions until the following (yesterday) morning, who it died. Mr. Beach, surgeon, attributed death to convulsive dir er, and stated he hail previously expressed an opinion that the child could not live. The mothers treatment probably accelerated death, but if it had been • healthy child and had been rescued while it was still able to cry, it would, doubt less, have recovered. Upon this evidence Sergeant Hopkins applied for a re mand until Friday, that the coroner, who bad been commu nicated with, might be stab] , d to hold his inquest in the meantime. The sergeant stated that he should then be able to prove that the prisoner had bad her child brought bar a short time before it was discovered in the garden. bench acceded to the application. and the prisoner therefore stands remanded until Friday. —Chettenhani lemaiere.
