Fos some years past the question of giving further protection to Trade Marks has been urged by the mercantile community upon the Legisla ture. It witi discussed at the meeting of the Social Science Association in 1859, and the Cham- ben of Commerce throughout the country have since expressed a very decided conviction that some change in the law is necessary. Lest year Government introduced a measure for the rupees of meeting them desires, but after passing through the Lords it was dropped in tho Commons. This year they have again brought in a Bill, and the . _ idemberi for Sheffield have also offered a rival claimant for the honour of enactment productions are to be referred to a Select Com mittee ; but while we await its judgment, before entering on a more detailed criticism, it may not be useless in the meantime to cut a general survey over the present state of the law, and over the modifications which the several proposals are designed to effect in it. A Truk Mark has been likened by some of the more imaginative of the minds devoted to commerce to the coat of anus of a knight. It is the badge by which the prowess of its owner is recog nised—by which, without divulging his name, he is known as one without fear--and, let us hope, without reproach—wherever his goods are exposed in the world'ismarta. But Trade Marks have never had a Court of Chivalry for their peculiar protection. They have been left to such respect as the law, proceeding on the general principle of repressing fraud and personation, ceuld afford to them. There has been, indeed, a time when the mark or sign of a trader was of even greater importance than it is now. When reading was a rare art, each shop as well as each manufactory had its sign, by which purchasers might be directed. It does not, how ever, appear that the law ever took notice of the fraudulent appropriation of these merely retail de. vices, and their owners were left to such remedy as that adopted by the famous Carlisle innkeeper, who asserted the identity of his hostelry, while offering a delicate compliment to the new Bishop of the dio cese, by writing under the portrait of that dignitary, exhibited at the door, the announcement, " N.B. "This is the Real Old Cock." But when !a ma nufacturer had for a series of years distinguished his goods by a particular mark, the law was ready to give damages against any one who should dulently pirate it, and Equity would grant an in junction against coutiuuauce of the fraud. Nor can it be justly said that this is a privilege the nessissity of which is obviated by the modern use of reading. A name by itself is little distinction. " Slum" might be justifiably stamped upon the articles of a thousand different makers. Even a double name, as in a firm, is not enough. DAT and MARTIN found it necessary some years since to apply for an injunction against a firm, the !amber' of lore bonA fide the same name, imitating the appearance of their Trade Mark, by which alone the gel, uine vendomof theblacking could be distinguished. Moreover, in many small articles the name at full I •ngth of a firm could not be im pressed without unsightliuess. Hero the mark of a Crown, a Lion, or a Sword becomes the only available means of assuring the public that it gets the goods of the makes it prefers. But though the principle of ownership in Trade Marks is thus sanctioned by the law, the present provisions by which it can be enforced are such as in great measure to annul the boon. An action at law or a suit in Chancery, in which usage for years must be proved to establish ownership, and in which the opinion of the judge or jury whether the resemblance between two marks is close enough to deceive, is at best an expensive, cum brous, and dubious :milady. It is proposed, therefore, as the root of the new legislation which is called for, that a fraudulent imi tation of an existing Trade Mark shall be subjected to the severer penalties of being accounted a breach of the criminal law. it is Loped that those who would have been ready to risk the consequences of a civil action will shrink from the terrors of a conviction for nfiedememour. And, indeed, if any effectual stop can in this way be put to the practice, it can scarcely be urged that it is not justified by the principles of our law. Them is no distinction in principle between defrauding a man by forging his signature, and de fraudiug the public by forging his mark. if the forayer be felony, we may fairly enough designate the latter at least misdemeanour. But in the method by which this principle shall be carried ont in practice, there is a fundamental distinction between the Bills of the Board of Trade and of the Members for Sheffield. The former leaves the ownership of any par ticular Trade Mark to be established as at present. The latter gives protection only to such marks as shall be registered with a public officer appointed for the purpose. The former scheme involves the smallest change in the law. But in favour of the latter it is urged by its promoters that it is desirable at once to simplify the method of proof by rcillicing it to a certificate from a public office, and to forewarn manufacturers of the fact, that certain devices are already appro priated by others of the trade. This is a matter on which the Select Committee will do good ser vice in eliciting the opiuiun of the rucreanti"e world. The interest of the public is confined to the object, that in purchasing goods it shall not be misled as to the maker by the existence of two marks of the same appearance. There is, however, a point of • somewhat corral* , tivo nature, which the Bill of the Board of Trade deals with, while the Sheffield Bill leaves it unnoticed, in which the public will be apt to think that its own interests call for proteslion. This regards the practice of labelling goods as being of a quality or quantity different from what they really consist of. Every housewife knows that the reels of thread she buys marked 500 yards may not contain half that length ; and the system of short measure and short weight is carried out in innumerable instances of greater importance. Suzh practices Mr. Muscat GOWN proposes to restrain by enacting that any such state ment shall be deemed a part of the contract be tween the vendor and the purchaser. It may certainly not often happen that Materfamiliaa shall sue in the County Court for her miring 200 yards of thread, but the public will welcome an enactment which will at least discountenance, if it does not wholly put down, the urblushing system of falsehood in mercantile advertisements, which is one of the prominent disgraces of our age and country.

The following official despatch, on the subject of the etiquette of the French Court, has been sent by Xc. Seward to Mr. Dayton : " Department of State, Washington, Feb. S. "Sir,—Your despatch of the 14th of January, No. 102, bus been received. It is secompuziol by a copy of a note which you have addressed to M. Thouvenel on the subject of the introduction of American citizens at the Imperial Court. " I very freely confess to the opinions. first; that an audience or presentation of any Lut diplomatic gismo at court is to be regarded not in any degree as a t igh t of the person received, but as a courtesy ezteoded to Secondly, that the Imperial Court is perfectly at liberty to define and prescribe the qualifications, conditions, and terms on which stranger, shall be admitted into its society. Thirdly, if American citizens request you to present their wishes for admission at court, you can only present them by complying with the terms and conditions prescribed. Fourthly, referring to the questions which have actually arisen, I think you can properly in all cases give the occu pation or profession of any person whose wishes you present. You cannot, indeed, undertake to assign the social position of each person, for that would be to diecriminate, or to seem to discriminate, by European rides, between persons who, being all alike citizens, may lastly claim to be equals in social position at home, and therefore equals in the con sideration of the government itself when they are abroad. It seems to me, however, that in many cases there are cir cumstances belonging to the persons you propose to present which may lie properly stated, such as official position held by individuals at the time, or even at some previous time— dotinctiona arising from personal merit, such as scientific, military, or literary, or a political character, and distinc tious as founders of scientific, literary, or humane institu• tiona " But when these suggestions are made in compliance with the rules of the court it I. not to bo claimed as mat ter of right, or even RS matter of national comity, that the Cations or audiences shall therefore be granted. I have dwelt upon the subject longer than was due to any im portance that it can claim. It is peculiarly uucomfortable at this moment to find American citizens leaving their country a prey to faction and civil war, disturbing the court of a friendly power, and embarrassing our represes tame there with questions of personal interest and pee tension. "Let the Emperor and Empress of Frimce receive whom they will, and as many or few as they will, and let en others, RS well as those who are admitted, turn their at tention to the question how they can servo their country abroad, and if they find no better way to do it than by mak ing their attendance in the saloons of the Tuileries, let them return home, to a country that now, for the first than, and not fora long time, needs the active efforts of every one of its loyal children to save itself from de struction. Finally, above all things, have no question with the government of France on this subject. Rather introduce nobody, however justly distinguished, than let a question of fashion or ceremony appear in the records of the portant period in which we are acting for the highest in terests of our country and of humanity,-I am. sir, your obedient servant, " W. H. SEWARD. " Wm. L. Dayton, Esq., &c." DEATH or ADMIRAL CCRLoN.—We regret to anaemic. the death of Vice-Admiral Edward Curzon. in his 74th year.

A communication from Toulon, in the Measager du Midi, says : The large 'team transport Aube has strived in the roadstead from Mexico. Tbis vessel, going before the wind at the speed of 11 knots an hour, and driven by the hurri cane which has lately prevailed in the Atlantic, made the mirage in 24 days, daring which time her fires were only lit to pus the Strait of °throaty, so that she has anchored with 500 tons of coal In her hold, and 150 tons in sackJ. Some of her boats, carried away by the tempest, and water entering in profusion by the seams from the draining of the vessel, were the only drawbacks on this magnificent passage. At the moment of her departure from Vera Crux military affairs in Mexico were taking quite a picturesque tuns. While the allied commis' alone= were in parley with . . . the government of Juarez, the generals had made • forward movement to preserve the expeditionary troops from the fatal influence of the climate on the coast. During that march, about • thousand Mexicans were met with under General Orags, who sent to ask the mean ing of this armed demonstration. On the reply that they were looking for • healthy and convenient site for encamping, the Mexican general formed the heed of the column as far as a plateau, the comforts and delights of which be described ; and in order to give the example, he established his camp at a distanee of GOO yards from that of the allies, who occu pied the little town of Tejeria. They were hardly installed when the French and Mexican fraternised like old friends, and the men who were sent from the camp on expedition* for food were at once loaded u provisions, in order to spare them the trouble of looking further. The Mexican general having learned that the French were in want of fresh meat in consequence of the delay of a convoy, sent several bullocks, only requesting that none should be given to the Spaniards. The Mexican expedition would have already terminated amicably, had it not been for the pre sence of the Spaniards, against whom Mexican exasperation is carried to the extent of fanaticism.

The Congress to-day rejected the laws of parlia mentary qualifications by 72 against 61. Signor Salaverria asked the Chamber for leave to issue notes to the amount of 190 million reale. Mr. Roos, Commissioner of the Confederate States of America, has arrived here. A Venice letter of the sth soya :—" The carnival of Venice is at an end ; it was tolled out by the church bells, according to immemorial custom, last night. But what the Carnival of Venice was, or what was tolled out, is rather difficult to define, since not one mask, excepting that placed over the mauls of an Austrian dog, way seen during the whole carnival. In vain the police endeavoured to get up an exhibition of painted faces. The secret committee published their order to the effect that the nation was In grief, and any manifestation of rejoicing was inconsistent with the sorrow of the people. The Venetians to a man obeyed the mandate of the committee." The Paris Muniteur for the last day or two has appended to its forego oorrespondence the following note : —" We must spin repeat, once for all, that the corm ; spondence of this journal is derived from private Noumea, and does not posse any official character." It is said that the camp of Chdlons will be established at the beginning of April, under the command of Marshal de MauMahon. Thu Prussian Moniteur publishes a cabinet order, ordering that the brandy served out in the Prussian army I shall be henceforth replaced by coffee. Each man will re ceive two-fifths of an ounce per day in time of peace, and a half-ounce in time of war.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. DISSOLUTION OF THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS. BERLIN, XAscs 11. The Chamber of Deputies was dissolved to-day by s royal decree, countersigned by all the ministers except H. Bethmaun Hollweg. The Assembly separated with three cheers for the King. The Upper House immediately afterwards ad journed. A Frankfort letter says :—" Some unesainess is felt here at the present state of things at Berlin ; it seems certain that, to prevent any surprise from a popular movement, the government has thought proper to take military measures of pre caution, by selecting certain points of the capital as strategical positions, which the garrison will imme diately occupy on the first symptoms of any revolu tionary movement" A letter from Berlin has the following : A council of ministate wax held at the pnlaceoe the 4th,at which his Majesty, the Crown Prince, and all the miaisters . . . were present. The question of dissolving the Chamber was dimmed. It is positively known that all the minis ters have offered their resignations, but that the King has not accepted them. The King insisted on the dissolution of the Chamber, but the ministry again refused, declaring that in the present state of public opinion a sew Chamber would contain more liberal elements than themeless*. It was at Let decided, on the proposition of the Crown Prince, that the Chamber should be adjourned for six weeks. The necessity for modifying timbal on the Budget will be the pretext alleged for this measure, and it is hoped that in the interval passions may be calmed down, and that the clues , lions of Electoral Timm and Denmark may take a favour , able turn so as to give the government a better standing which may enable it to pass the military bills. The Prussian Gazette, the official ministerial journal, bee an article upon the present crisis, in which it represents the immediate cause of the resignation of the ministers as of minor import ance ; but the feeling of the chamber was such, that resignation was only a question of time, and the ministers preferred to withdraw upon a question of form rather than after a serious conflict. The King, however, refused to accept their resignation. A letter in the Degas obser►es that the King is in a singular state of mind. Having received a purely military education, and having been habitu ated from infancy to exacting and minute obedience, resistance of any kind which he experiences as a constitutional King, either on the part of the administration or on the part of the Chambers, annoys him. Accordingly, he prefers to surround himself with officers, and discusses the most im- I portent political questions with members of his I military cabinet. These tendencies give many chances to the cause of reaction, which, moreover, has the princes of the royal family in ,its favour. " The hereditary prince alone appears to have liberal tendencies." THE NEW ITALIAN MINISTRY. We have now received a verbatim report of M. Rattazzi's speech in the Turin Chamber of Deputies on Friday last. Of the foreign policy of the new cabinet he said : Co•oarniog our line of policy towards Other nation', I mast declare that we think it necessary not to isolate our selves from other nations. The policy of isolation Is dill milt and fruitless in ordinary times, but, at tho present @O. meat, it would be still more dangerous. If ancient Pied moat has succeeded in tendering • saving hand to the other Italian provinces, and been able to deliver them from • foreign yoke, it is to the policy of alliances that she owes it. But Italy, much more than Piedmout, should look forward to contracting solid and pro fitable alliances. Italy, which is already • nation full of vigour and resources, may be able in its turn to be useful and of assistance to her allies. Thus the Euro pean powers will, before long, seek with emulation the friendship of our country, and we, in the meantime, should do all that we an to facilitate and cement those 'Bianca in such • manner u that not a political event of any Impor tsnoe will take place in Europe, in which Italy will not have its legitimate share of influence and action. We believe, above all, that • cordial understanding should exist between our nation and France, and between Italy and England. France, who has much great relations with us, whose generous sons have shed their blood fer our liberty—England, who has always toadied such lively sympathies for us, and who was the first to recognise our kingdom. But alliance doss sot sig nify dependence ; quit* the contrary. Our principal ►rm was that of assuring to Italy the most complete indepen donee. The country and the parliament may be persuaded that we will never enter baton compromise on that question. Italy should show to Europe that she knows bow to march with constancy and finances in the path which is marked out for herb she must prove that she knows how to be wise and prudent, but that wisdom and prudence do not exclude foree and boldness, and then all the powers will respect her, and not delay their recognition. (Hear.) As to Rome, there could be only one programme for any ministry. That programme has been already stated by the pmts. meat itself. I have only to remind you of the reiterated votes of the chamber, which we shall not in any way de part from. It is evident that the Roman question cannot be solved except by two means acting simultaneously—the moral and the diplomatic. As to the former, it is necessary to establish in the catholic world the opinion that the tem poral power in not requisiteto religion ; that when the church shall be relieved from worldly cares and interests, religion can only pin by it ; and it is very pleaaing to me to point out a peat progress in the opinion of believers on that point. When the question of the fall of the temporal power was first raised two years ►go, many persons felt alarmed, and thought that religion might be rained ; at present those persons have become tranquillised. They comprehend that there is no neoemity for the church to be united to a temporal power, and I am glad to say that this change has principally taken place in France. It sufficed to have observed the public mind in that clever and generous nation; to see that while there was at first a kind of estrangement from the Italian cause, because a fear was entertained that the temporal power, and consequently re ligious interests, might be compromised, but now opinion has changed, and the number of catholic* who entertain no alarm of the kind has conaiderably increemiL I bare only to point oat to you the discussions in the first body or the empire—the Senate. If you compare the debate on the affairs of Rome which took place but year with that o/ the present one, you will see that opinions have changed, and that those who were before the most strongly opposed to any change coaneoted with the pontifical states, now entertain more moderate opinions. I am pleased to say that for this change we are in part indebted to the words of the prince who now his eloquence and his high position to favour Italian nterests on every occasion. (Loud applause). Moral truths, gentlemen, frequently meet with great contradie- Cons before they are admitted ; integrate which are opposed to the truth frequently obscure it by a factitious cloud, but in the end the sun shines through that cloud, and moral victory belongs to the truth. By the side of morel mesas diplomatic cues must be implored. On that point also you have traced out the road, and we are resolved to follow it. You have said that it is necessary to go to Rome in accord with France. Such is our motto. We will solve the question in accord with France, fur she ham a great interest in doing it in the sense of Italian I unity. If we do not go in accord with her, and should wish to act alone, or, what is still worse, in spite of her, we shall injure ourselves and depart from the object in view. You may therefore be assured that we shall follow the pro gramme traoed out by you. But the question of alliances, of indepesdassee, of Rome and of Venice, depend above all on internal organinatica. I repeat, that when we shall be strongly constituted and organised—when we shall present to Europe the spectacle of a nation who, after having accomplished a great revolution in so few years, bee keowe Low to constitute itself, and unify its laws, I think that our voice will be better heard in the cabinets of Europe. (Haar, hear.) The remainder of the speech was devoted to .the subject of the internal organisation of the king dom. K LANZA observed that the present minister having said very little on the cause of the late crisis, some further anformation on that point should be elicited from the out-going minister ; upon which Baron Ricasou rows, and reminded the cham ber of the debate on the Roman and Neapolitan question which took place on the 11th of Decem ber, when he asked for a clear and unequivocal vote. Soon after other circumstances occurred which shook his confidence in the belief that the government possessed the confidence of parliament. Another important debate occurred in which the cabinet explained its policy with a view of obtain ing a new vote of confidence. But This confidenoe did not seem to east in the public con science. The debate of Feb. 25 took place. This was the most important one, in which be had occasion to propound certain theories about the freedom of association which obtained the complete approval of the chamber. Still even the effect of that vote wu considerably weakened in the consciences of the representatives of the country. Whence this contradiction between the votes and the behaviour of the chamber? There was an element of weakness in the government in its not being complete ; and the chamber ' insisted upon its completion, though it knew all the difficulties the government encountered in the teak. There were also differences of opinion in the cabi net—one on the question of the abolition of the punishment of death, which was approved of by the ma jority of the cabinet, and another on the question of making gold • legal tender throughout the kingdom. All the Tusans in the cabinet were opposed to it. But these dif ferences were not sufficient to justify • resignatioe. He therefore concluded that the behaviour of the chamber, so contrary to its votes of confident" was owing to the cabi net not being complete; and be, being naturally of • temper which could not brook an equivocal position, had resolved upon resigning. The hon. deputy added a few more details, already stated, on the subject of the crisis, and sat down amid loud and unequivocal applause. An uncontrollable fueling of warm and genuine sym pathy, a perfect burst of southern enthusiasm, roes in every heart in behalf of the retiring statesman. The assembly broke up ; hundreds pressed round the baron to 'shake hands with him, and it was impossible to restore sufficient calmness to resume the sitting. After a few words by Rattazzi expressing his admiration of the honourable and loyal character of Baron Iticasoli, the house broke up. Baron Ricasoli asked for a month's leave of absence. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. no on ows PARIS, MONDAY Eviaturo. An observation in Gaiignani, that the op position deputies are "in the unenviable posi- 1 tion of not fully pleasing any party," is calculated to mislead English readers. The long extract from the Miele which follows that remark refers only to M. Picard, between whom and that journal there is a personal quarrel, arising out of the circumstances under which he quitted the committee of management some time ago. And, after all, the present differ ence between K Picard and the Siete only oon sists in this—that the Side, like the Opinion Na tionale, tells the public that its writers, notwith standing the difficulties which the harsh laws of I the empire impose upon them, contrive to be more independent than M. Picard would infer. All the liberal journals approve of K Jules Favre's speech without reserve, and so they do the general scope of M. Picard's. If they especially exalt Jules Fevre, it is only because his transcendent ability enables him to steer clear of those verbal criticisms which a hostile audience and a hostile president are eagerly on the look out to make. The Bourse was thinly attended, and the Rents decidedly heavy. It recovered, however, from the lowest quotations of the day, which were 69fr. 70e. and 69fr. 75c., and closed at 69fr. 80c. (Saturday's price) for cash, and 69fr. 90c. for account, being a fall of Sc. There is a difference of lir. between the Old and the New Threes, and this difference can only be aooounted for by the state of the mar ket, because 45c. is the calculated value, founded upon the time when the dividends are payable between the two securities. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. fell 15c. and 20c., closing at 98fr. and 98fr. 40c. They are, as you see, a long way from par, although K Fould's report in to-day's Moni taw seems to calculate the forced conversion of them.

Captain Montauban, now called Viscount Palikao, the eldest son of the general whose dotation is so conspicuously on the tapis, has just been appointed one of the Emperor's orderly officers. It is rumoured that General de Goyon will be made a senator, vioe General Korte, deceased. The Salut Public of Lyons says that just before his execution Dam°llard exclaimed to a judge who was interrogating him, "Look in my vineyard and you will find something." If this were correctly reported it would amount to a confession that bodies of his murdered victims were buried there. But I have no doubt that the report is not correct. Other aooounts more consistent with the general tenor of his conduct since his arrest say that on being asked pointedly whether something would not be discovered by searching his vineyard, he answered, " The vineyard did not always belong to me ; I bought it. In the middle part I have dug a great deal, but not at the two ends, and it is impossible for me to say what people may have put there." The reason why questions were put to him at the last moment about his vineyard is that some of his neighbours, observing crows there very frequently, bad come to the conclusion that they must have been attracted by the smell of dead bodies, since those birds do not usually set foot in a vineyard. A thorough search will now be made. DUMOLL4RD'3 LAM' BANQUET. A French journal says :—" Dumollard and his wife haying agreed to see each other, she was introduced into his cell. He received her with icy coldness, but pre. meetly they kissed each other. The chaplain treated them to a supper consisting of bacon and sausage', black pud dings—which Dumollard had a great fancy for—mutton chops, and roast meat. ' This is a fast day,' said the priest, when the repast was put on the labia, ' but in this conjuncture I will allow you to at whst is before you.' Dumollard ate of every dish with that voracity which wee habitual to him. His wife cried a good deal, and he fro• qttently attempted to console her, saying, You are wrong to take on so ; I don't care a bit.' The priest carved for this extraordinary couple thus feasting under such terrible circumstances, and when he poured wine into their glares they clinked them together, as the French custom is, instead of ' taking wine' as people do, or at least used to do, in England. He gave his wife a great deal of business.like advice. ' While you are in tpriaon,' he said, the little money I leave will be useful to you; get a little wine now and then from the can teen. When you come out do not go home ; your family and the neighbours would receive you badly. I should recom• mend you either to stop where you are or to go to Dijon.. He particularly enjoined her to look up a sum of 27 francs which was due to him for cutting some grape vines. On taking final leave of each other he kissed her and said good bye quite in a matter of course way." NAIRN . LIMN aspaosui GALWAY Ltvareoz.

A most extraordinary and sudden affair tool, place here late on Saturday evening ; and, as an it:mance the cowardly effect of the concealed knife, end its &auk' consequences, has seldom been paralleled in this coantr About 11 o'clock a few wrangling words in *rather a tone were heard coming from near the gas-lamp, , iiiprecp the doctor's pond, and when two or three young went to the spot, they found that a man was atandit,,- there who had just been wounded in some way with a sharp instrument, and at that manent two men web, escaping across the Downs as fast as they could; Ardor. innately the persons alarmed were so occupied with their attention to the sufferer that the offenders made thci escape. The person thus desperately asaulted walked oak 4 few yards across the road before he fell, and being taken ie.:, the Star yard, died almost directly. It was man found thit the deocesed is named James Barnard, from Cophill, near Medford, in Bedfordshire—a young married ro.m, about 27 years of age, who travelled the country a hawker of umbrellas, broom, clothes' lines, &c. Yr • what can be learnt at present, it appears that he had out in his calling, and was going home to his lodgui e s the Bell, at Church-End, where his wife was ; no nue seems to know whether he had had any quarrel worth nainitz with say one ; and he is said, by parties who knew hi m , to have been a quiet inoffensive person, and therefore the fear is that the dreadful deed was done in a moment of make and spite, but by whom is at present involved i n mystery, which the police are sedulously endeavouring to unravel. MONDAY MORNLNO, 10 O'CLOCL When I emote to you last night the polioe were 'count; the neighbourhood, and bad been hither and thither bat without success; however, early in the evening Superinten dent Rogerson obtained a clue, and forthwith, and ing a Dunmow man, named John Button—who sa g said to be one of the two seen to hasten Otto., the Downs just before Barnard fell—he (Button) ie hurtarily confessed that he was present when the assault took place, although he did not touch the de. ceased, and that a man nerved Henry Eagle, of Little betel, eau the person who had blows with the deceased, and mute have been the perpetrator of the dreadful deed. Buttoa further willingly and earnestly detailed the conversation be had with Eagle as they were going home. The superi , - fendent immediately took two constables with him (know ing that the accused, from previous circumstances, ware most desperate fellow), and succeeded in finding him at tie dwelling of a relative. While the superintendent and police-constable Day went in at the front door, the accused attempted to escape from the back ; but police-constable Johnson was ready for him, and after some resistance he was secured, and immediately brought to the Dunmore police station. The inquest will be held to-morrow (Tuesday . ) in the forenoon, and the probability at present re that the prisoner will be committed by the coroner in time to be forwarded to and tried at the present assize. This dreadful OLIO has caused much more consternation at Dunmow than any occurrence it the kind for many years, and although it was Sunday evening a great concourse thronged the aides of the cart when Eagle was brought into the town.
