IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WchNEsnav, JULY 31. IN the Hot•se of COMMONS, after our report left yesterday, the debate on the second reading of the Agri‘ultiiral C:Oldren's Education Bill was con t. for some ti n e, Mr. Liddell, Mr. Ingham, Mr. M•Laren, Mr. Samuelson, and Sir H. Vern( y unpin eing the principle of the bill, but most of them criticising and objecting to sonic of its pro visions ; while it was opposed by Mr. Hardy, who objected to the new principle established by Cio bill of •giving power to the magistrates in petty sessions to levy rates for educational purposes ; by Mr. Henley, Mr. P. Wyndham, Mr. Coldney, Mr. M`Lagan, and lien. Dtmne, who objected to it as utterly inapplicable to Ireland, and as being the most absurd bill ever introduced. The motion was then u ithilrawn. The Master and . Workmen Bill passed through committee. Mr. NEAT,: moved the second reading of the CI. tttttt OHS Incloaure Act Amendment Bill. Mr. LE I. opposed the bill, which he said would, by re-opening awards, have the effect of unsettling the title to property. The !notion was negatived. The Sale of Liquors on Sunday Bill was with drawn; but Mr. J. A. SMITH, who had charge of the bill, announced his intention of introducing it next session. The Naval Stores (No. 2) Bill passed through committee. The Metropolis Subways Bill was read a third, and the Dominica Loan 13111 a second time. The house adjourned at live minutes to 6 o'clock. NATIONAL ARTILLERY ASSOCIATION. SHOF:BURYN}ZS CAMP, WEDNEUDAT EVENING. The officers and men of the 2nd Middlesex have reason to congratulate themselves on having, for the second time, become the successful competitors fur the Prince of Wales's Prize, and beyond that, of having made the highest score ever obtained at this meeting. There were mine doubts expressed as to the second highest score, and this turned out to be in favour of the second detach ment of the Ist Sussex, who made 35 marks, and the third was the Sad Ewes. Taken altogether the competition was a very good oue, and the marking was ot • superior order. A meeting was held last evening in the mesa tent of all the officers at present in camp. Lieutenant-Colonel Harcourt, President of the Council, took the chair, sad reminded those present of the need the society stood is of increased support. During the meeting he had heard suggestions that they should remove the next annual meeting of the association either to Liverpool or Scotland, but he was or/wised to their doing so, as he saw many advantages in their coming to Sboeburyncss, where they received very great assistance from the Royal Artillery, and were saved great expenses in not having to provide many things which were readily and cheerfully provided fur them gratuitously. Therefore the council would nut feel justified in going to either of the places indicated unless they received a guarantee for the additional expenses that would necessarily have to be incurred. It gave him great pleasure to announce that Lieut. Goatees, of the Ist Tower Hamlet. Artillery, had given them 101. as • contribution fur a prize, and Mean. Elkington and Co., silversmiths, would give a cup of the value of ten guineas to the man who stood No. 1 in the winning de tachment for the badges of the National Artillery .Asso- Motion. Colonel Sir James Baird advised the council not to leave Shueburyness, as be knew it was the intention of many counties to subscribe for prizes lo be shot for at their next meeting. The general opinion of the meeting was that under the circumstances it would not at present be advisable to alter the usual place of holding their annual meeting. Colonel Harcourt then stated that, es Colonel Adair's prize was only a challenge prize, the 101. given by Lieu tenant Gmunes would be given with tit; 10/. given by the Earl of Limerick would form a second prize ; and given by the officers of the Ist Surrey Artillery would be the third prize. He was also happy to inform them that next year there would be more prizes, and they would be better worth winning by those who came so far to compete for them. He bad also to state that Captain Bracey, of Liverpool, would give a prise to the detach ment making the highest aggregate score during the meeting. The prize for this day's cempetition was given by Colonel Adair, to be fired fur with eccentric solid shot on the principles which have been already explained, every shot before being fired baring been tested for the centre of gravity, so that by firing with them from smooth bore guns a more complete system of accuracy could be arrived at. This is an entirely new system of practice with this association , and it has only very recently been adopted by the Royal Artillery. It was found by expe rience that the oeutre of gravity is not the centre of the sphere or shut, and this theory is by artificial means to ascertain it, and thus fire the allot on unerring principles. The centre of gravity is ascer tained by previously immersing every shot in a bowl of quicksilver. The range was fixed at 2,000 yards, with five shots for each detachment, and as this was a new compe tition the greatest amount of interest was manifested amongst the various detachments so as to make the highest *cote. This was carried ou throughout the day, and as the 32-pounder shot whizzed through the air to its distant destination its arched career was watched as it struck the sea, rebounding like • cricket ball and casting a fountain of water into the air. The weather was rather too windy, but in other respects it was excellent for practice, and it was an occasion ' , Ale' drew together a large concourse of spectators. The marks given for direction were iu several instances as high as 20, the largest possible score that can be given. In consequence of the long distance of the target, we believe that no direct was made during the day, although some of the shots were but a very short distance from it. After a very animated competition the Brat prize was won by the 2nd Suffolk (Walton), who made 34 marks; the Ist C. Cinque Ports (Folkestone) gained the second prize with lit marks ; and the 2nd Cinque Ports (Sandwich), gained the third prize with 27 marks. This was considered to be a very satisfactory result of the experiment. The 2nd Suffolk were warmly con• gratulated on their victory. To-morrow (Thursday), her Majesty's Prize of 1001. will be tired for, the com petition to take place with 40 pounder Armstrong guns, and live rounds each at 2,000 yards. This is the great event of the meeting, and excites the liveliest in. terest, as it is only • few et the detachments at present here who ever have the opportunity of practising with Armstrong suns. The Cups which form this prize are now being exhibited on the ground. They were manufactured by a house in Birmingham, and are very beautiful works of art. They all bear the royal initials, surmounted by a crown, with a mass of beautiful and elaborate chasing. They were designed by Mr. Pugin, the celebrated archi tect, and idiom great credit upon those by whom the design was earned out There is one larger than the rest which will be received by No. 1 in the detachment, or the Mall who " lays " the gun or paints it to its destination. THE MEMBERS FOR MARYLZRONE.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Harvey Lewis and Mr. Thomas Chambers, members for the borough of Marylebone, visited the repre sentative vestry of St. Pancras, and explained the various measures which had been before parliament during the session, and the part they had taken with respect to them. In reply to a question, Mr. Harvey Lewis said he and his oalleague had supported the Reform Bill of the late go vernment, and when they found this session a still more liberal measure they felt themselves bound in duty to their constituents to support it, and, if possible, to stop an agitation so injurious to the trade of the country, and especially to the working classes. He felt sure that no Re form Bill would prove satisfactory that had not • lodger franchise, and he disapproved entirely of its increase to 115/. by the Lords, as also of the triangular voting and the voting by papers, and if be had an opportunity when the bill came back to the House of Commons he would vote against the Lords' amendments. Mr. Chambers said when he was • candidate for that borough he gave one pledge only, and that was that he would vote for the most liberal measure that any government could be found to bring in, and he had done so as an act of solemn duty. He was equally opposed with his colleague to the amended 151. lodger fnun•hise and to paper voting. The triangular voting would, however, affect so few, that he doubted if it was worth while to risk the loss of the Reform Bill by its rejection. On the motion of Mr. J. R. Collins, seconded by Mr. Crane, • vote of thanks. approval, and confidence in the membe rs was carried with but one dissentient. INTENDED REFORM LEAGUE liiiTIND..;I7YDE PARK.—At the ordinary meeting of the council of the Reform League, held last night at the offices, No. 8, Adelphi-terrioe, Mr. Reales is the chair, Mr. Liu:raft moved the following resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Merriman, and unanimously agreed to : —"That the executive council be requested to takc immediate steps for minvening and rendering effective a meeting of the people in Hyde-park to protest against the Royal Parka Bill as an invasion of the rights of the people to use the public lands as places of meeting for political objects, and also to protest against the so-called amendment of the House of Lords upon the Reform Bill, raising the figure for the lodger franchise front 101. to 15!." After some discumlos seven o'clock on Monday next was fixed as the time for holding the demonstration, and it wan agreed that the branches of the League, with hands and banner., should meet at certain points and march in procession to the park. A cub-committee was appointed to act in conjunction with the executive in arranging the preliminaries of the demon- Mention. _ _ ----- CorsTRY Titre roe POOR CRILDREN.—On Men day, the 29th inst., about 200 children attending the Clare-market Ragged Schools, accompanied by their teachers and friends, went by rail to Teddingtou, and walked from thence to Bushy-park.

Although no fewer than ten items were on the card, it was not anticipated that the fields would he numerous: and, as will brier'', the anticipations were borne out.

The theselwood Stakes was appointed for ludf.past two o'clock, and when the numbers were hoisted the telegraph board displayed twelve runners—two more than contested it last year.

The competitors came In for a fair share of attention whilst being addled but they were afterwards paraded in Indian file past tire stand.

When fairly in the straight there were only the three placed left in tier rave with any chance of success, and as they neared the distance the issue was re , duced to a match between %d' and Burners, as La Dauphine hung ao much that it required all Covey's energy to keep her straight. Fordham's rldiog of Homers was in that famous Jockey's brilliant style, and his '• bringing out" 1.1 the mare was another fine spetimen of the abilities which he displayed on Lecturer in the Ascot Cup. The colours of his Grace of Bad minton were carried succerfully to the fore by a length and a half. La Dauphine was third, defeated three lengths from Visit. Viet. the favourite, was beaten as soon as the straight was reached, and finished fourth, whilst Douro was fifth. The absolute last was Pakrita, Jezebel finishing the lad but one. The victory of the Duke of Beaufort was well received, and of course his grace wins a good stake. His principal bet we, four " monkeys" taken a few minutes prior to the start, but iinntedlately afterwards 5 to I was taken. it la worthy of remark that this race has only thrice been won by horses carrying est or upwards—namely, by Stumps, in tilaucus, in 1556. and by Chanticleer, in 184.8.

During the afternoon there was some speculation on the event of the mor row—the Cup. Even money was freely accepted about Vauban, 6to 2 Regalla, whilst 4 to 1 was offered against Lecturer.

GENTLEMEN V. PLAtrav or Tile SorTlE.—This math. com menced on the Surrey Comity Ground on Monday, mut brought to a conclusion yesterday. The players—wllo had by far the stronger side—proved victorious by ten wickets. The weather, for the fiat time during the current ransomer, was what may be termed '• sultry ;" but it was such as cricketers arc rid to level in. Anyhow, before tartest u'eltek there was a fah sprinkling of on-lookers, and by twenty minutes past twelve they got to work. It will be borne in mind that when the rumps were drawn at Wren o'clock on •fuestlay evening the gestientest had furkikti t ea of their wickets for ILet runs, Mr. I D. Walker being •not out 21. and Mr. Hotiltiree 13 ,not out , do resuming their respective wickets, the attack was commenced by souther. Mu, off the lard ball of whose first over Mr. Boulder made two by a cut: Lillywhite trundled from the Pavilion wicket, and rent down two maidens to begin with. lu his third, Mr. I. D. Walker made a magnificent drive for 5. to long off, near the reporters' tent, for which he got a welltnertted cheer. Akw singles were now got, and with the snore at 175 Willsher took the hall from Southerton. Ile literally shaved !Ir. limit bee's wicket with the first ball of his second over, and with the mkt he clean howled that geutlennues leg stioup-7 for 178. Mr. houlthee's 25 were obtained by good and steady play. Mr. Damson took pumeselon of the vacant wicket, and etakkently with Sir. I. D. Walker, rained the score to HO, when a chin ge of bowl lug was considered politic, whereupon Griffith relieved Jame, Lillywhite, while at the opposite wicket Southerom supersede.' kVilisher. The effects of this change were almost intmediate, as Mr. Howson put (trifiith's first hall up which Lllis white secured at mid oil. Mr. Dowson made 7, and the score for his the ninth) wicket wee Ise. Mr. Laypacumb, the Kent gentleman hurler, was next 1 , 11 the order, but his contribution untended to two only, when Griffith spoilt the shape of his wicket with • good one. and the ninth wicket was down fur 194. Mr. C. NONA: who is • mere stripling of 17, and who, as before stated, ooh the place of hie brother, Mr. J. W.

Mr. I. D. Walker remalred faithful to his trust, tor after playing a very good soul useful innuogs of 37, he carried out his bat. Ills principal hits were one five, on. bar, three threes, and a two The total of the Juniors amounted to 212, or 43 for the Players to get to win, thr time being twenty-two minutes after one. The Gentlemen's w.ckets fell as under—one for 3, two for 01, three fur an four for 120 , flee for P.Xf, six for :37 seven fur 178, eight for 189, nine for 194, and ten for 212. The Players' howling, when analyst'', exhibits the fol lowing results—goutherton, 43 osers, 11 maidens, for 63 runs slid a Wickets; Griffith, 15 ewers, 12 maidens, for 35 r u n and 3 wiaketa : Lillywhite, 46 oven, 20 maidens, fur al runs mid 3 wickets; Payne.

I. D. Walker and Lipscsamb. The first big hit was an off drive by Hamphrey for 3 off • slow. Jupp commenced with • two off Mr. Lips comb, and Tom Humphrey, who was in grand form, got a four off drive) from one of Mr. I. D. Walker's, In Slr. Llpscomlis next over Jupp made a sort of - drew" for four to the Pavilion. Twenty were telegraphed, and at that pert." Mr. Grace went on bowling, rive Mr. I. D. Walker, and the score was alittoet stationary for some moots. The next item of any one meant was • " snick" by Humphrey, to the Pavillon, for fur. Ile then drove Mr. Lipscomb well to the inn solo for four, and Mr. Pelham went on at Sir. Llpecomb's end when the norm was at 37. The balance ass, however, imeedllyolotalited Humphrey making the winning hit, and Mr. L D. Walker pocketing the hall. Thus at half-past two, without the loss of a wicket, II muphrey being not oat; 31, and Jupp ,not nut' 12, the Players became the effacers of the fourth annual match between the Amateurs and Professionals of the South of England by ten wickets. AND GROUND V. GBARY6RHOCPE.-1111 one-day match was another of the series instituted by the Marylelione Club for testing the merits of the rising amateur talent of &island. For. tuuately the weather was fine though dull, and a very fair wick:t was selected. The play began at the commendable hour of a quarter after eleven. The old club having mai the moss, of course elected to take first innings, Nieman Paur and Smith being the first to "operate." The bowling wan started by Messrs. liamruatt and Bonham, and during the innings there were a variety of changes. Messrs. Clarke, Foote, and ma4on, going on at different times. Mr. Sutton obtained the "Leger" for M.C.C., and lila 40 was not only the highest, but decidedly tee best innings on his side. lie was, however, repeatedly missed, and his bits Included four fours, three threes, kc. The wickets fell In the following order, viz. :—One fur 5, two for 34, three for 63, four for 72, five fur 145, six for SS, seven for 206, eight for 205, nine for 295, and ten for 242. The tUrthusions began their Innings at 4.30 by sending in ileum Nepean and Bushnell, to the bowling of Messrs. Smith and Ward. Mr. Napean played a good innings of 41, including three fours, three threes, and three twos. The first innings culminated at 112. so they followed on, Mat time would only permit of 39 being booked for two wickets, Mr. Nepean being . not out; 15, and Mr. Slanimatt 8. The wickets fell to the first innings —one for 20, two for 31, three for 45, four for 57, five for t 2, six for 79, seven for 51, eight for 52, nine for 106, ten for 112. The match is therefore drawn, MR. WHALLEY, X.P. AND "THE CONFES SIONAL UNMASKED." Mr. Whalley, M.P., instructed by Messrs. Gosling and Girdlestone, came into the Marlborough.street Police-court yesterday, and said :—Sir,—There was a man named Reach before you on Monday on a charge of selling an indecent book, and also for obstruction. This man is one of the persons employed by the Protestant Electoral Union, for whom I appear, and my object in this applica tion is to learn from you whether the fine of Is. inflicted on him was for selling the book or for obstruction. Appli cation has been made for the depositions, but without effect. Mr. Tyrwhitt— According to the act of parliament no depositions need be taken ' except in cues of felony. Mr. Whalley—The reports in the papers state that the fine wu for obstruction, but I ask your attention to this fact, that after the man was fined, on going to the station at St. Giles's, where his books were, he was told by the inspector on duty that if he sold any of the books he would be again taken into custody and sent before a magistrate, who would give him three months' imprisonment. Mr. Tyrwhitt—lt must, I think be quite evident to you as • member of parliament and a barrister that I can have nothing to do with what the police may say. Mr. Whalley—l presume that no man acts without due sanction, and therefore if the inspector told the man he would get three months' imprisonment if he sold the book, I take it he had instructions from you to that effect. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l cannot help what any one may imagine. I have nothing to do with what a constable says ; if ho says what is wrong you must go to his superior, Sir Richard Mayne. With the other point I have something to do. I might bare thrown out the hint that lithe book in question turned out to be an indecent book, after the notice be had received he might receive some punishment. The policeman was right in telling him the same thing. He might have done so out of good-nature. Mr. Whalley—There was no evidence that the footway was obstructed. Mr. Tyrwhitt—As far as my recollection serves me the ease placed before me was this :—The nun did sell a book— s gentleman who brought him here showed me some indecent isages in it. The mass of the book appeared to be in Latin, and the indecent passages were said to be transla tions. There was some indecent doggrel and so far the man brought himself within the act of parliament for uttering an indecent book. I certainly was astonished at the gentleman knowing all about the book, who said he had only heard of it from the newspapers, but he explained that he looked over it for some hours while the man was in custody. The man made a defence that he was a poor man, and that somebody bad given him a job to sell the book. It did seem me, se he had only just got the book, that the contents might be unknown to him, and I thought I might fairly discharge him for the offence of selling an indecent book. But as he had large placards with the words "Confessional Unmasked "on them, this brought him within the act, and thinking he was but a tool m the hands of others, I convicted him on the minor offence. As to the depositions, I take my stand on the law, and I should be foolish if I did not, as I might other wise be lending myself to something I do not understand. Mr. Whalley—Permit me to point out two facts. There was no obstruction to the footway,he was in the roadway and with respect to the b oo k, y ou are perhaps not aware of the serious injustice in what you have stated. It is the whole question whether the sale of the book is an offence within the act of parliament. Mr. Tyrwbitt—l may have to deal with that matter soon. If so, I will go through the book and see if it is indecent. Mr. Whalley—There has been a legal decision that it is not an indecent book within the meaning of the act. Mr. Tyrwbitt—From what I saw of it I thought it very indecent. There were filthy and dirty passages in it, th a t is all I can say. As to my decision, I intend to abide by it. Mr. Whalley—Having first thanked you for your cour tesy, permit me to say you have unintentionally done great injustice by reading part of the act of parliament. The discussions in the House of Commons and the decisions of the courts of law will prove that the book is legally sale able. The man was employed by a number of gentlemen to sell the book. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l thought at the time the man was set on to sell this indecent book, and I said if any one wsa to be proceeded against, it ought to be those who sent him out. I shall not say another word, and must request you to consider the application ended. Mr. Whalley—l understand you to Ray if the man's em ployers are brought before you, you will decide the book is en indecent book, and subject them to a penalty. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l said nothing of the kind - . Mr. Whalley—When they come before you—which is not unlikely—they will have the disadvantage of having had your opinion strongly stated. I hope, however, my clients will not be injured by your biased opinion. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l decline to be drawn out on this subject. When a case is before me I will give my opinion on the facts—not till then. _ sir. Whalley, Ka;ing thanked the magistrate, left the court. AnmiaeLYY. JULY 31. —APPOINTMENTS. —Cap tain F. B. P.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. 1103 IE CIRCUIT. —MAIDSTONE, —..._AIDSTONE, JULY 31. (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) Elr RAORDINAIST CARE UV MURDER. Sr.). I, in t'alg , r, 40, described as a widow, was charged upon an indictment, and also by the coroner's inquisition, with the wilful murder of her female illegitimate child, aged two weeks. "A daughter of the prisoner, Emma Usher, aged 11; years, was originally charged with being an accessory before the fact to the commission of the same murder, but the grand jury ignored the bill, and she was called as a witness for the crown to give evidence in support of the charge against her mother. _ _ Mr. Barrow and Mr. Huron conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was undefended by counsel. The circumstances under which this charge was pre ferred were of a somewhat remarkable character. The prisoner resided at Ashford, in Kent, and her husband died some time since, and she became in the family way subsequently, but her neighbours at Ashford did not appear to be aware of the fact, and her own daughter, Emma Usher, above referred to, did not even seem to know the condition of her mother. The prisoner seemed to have left Ashfonl on the Nth of March last, and proceeded to the house of her father and mother, who reside in Gloucester-terrace, Hackney, and she was there delivered of a child, which there was no doubt was the same whose death was the subject of inquiry, on the 21st of March. On the 4th of April she left London to return to Ashford by the train from London-bridge, which started at half-past I; o'clock, and she departed with the child, which was then in good health. She arrivedat Ashford about 4 o'clock at night, and her daughter, Emma Usher, I met her at the station, and they proceeded towards home together with the child, but the latter was never again I seen alive. Two days afterwards a young man named Burkett, who happened to be walking by the side of the river at Ashford, near Trumpet-bridge, saw the dead body of a child floating in the water, and he immediately gave information to Mr. Dewar, the superintendent of police at Ashford,and the body was taken out of the water. The result of the medical examination was to leave no doubt that the child's death was occasioned by suffocation from drowning, but at first there was no clue to show to whom the child belonged, or by what means it had got into the water. Inquiries, however, were instituted, and it appeared to be satisfactorily established that the dead child was the prisoner's. and the same that she had brought down to Aahfonl on the night of the 4th of April, and, in conse quence of • statement that was made by the daughter of the prisoner, she and her mother were both taken into custody and committed for the murder, but tho grand jury, as above stated, ignored the bill against the younger prisoner. Emma Usher, the girl referred to, who was brought up from the gaol, was now called as a witness for the prose- cation, and she was sworn. Mr. 'Justice Blackburn, before the learned counsel for the prosecution proceeded to examine her, addresEd the witness, who was crying and vpeared to be in great dis tree-, and said he thought it riot to tell her that although the grand jury had ignored the bill against her, she was still liable to be tried for the murder, and he cautioned her that she was not bound to answer any question which she considered might tend to criminate herself. At the same time he warned her that she was upon her oath, and that if she said anything at all, she was bound to tell the whole truth. The witness then proceeded to give the following extra ordinary evidence :—I am the daughter of the prisoner, and I have several brothers and sisters. We all lived to. gether in the New-road, Ashford. My mother went away from home in the month of March, and on the evening of the nth of April I went to the station at Ashford to meet her on her return from London. I only expected to meet my mother, and I did not know that she was going to bring a child with her. The train arrived at Ashford about nine o'clock in the evening, and I found that my mother had • child with her. We walked together towards home, but when we got home my mother had not got the child. We talked about different things as we were going along. Mr. Barrow—What, became of the child The witness cried bitterly, and did not answer the ques tion. Mr. Barrow—What did you talk about as you were going along? Witnea—l cannot remember everything that was said. Mr. Barrow—Was anything said about the child,or what was to be done with it? Witness (after a pause, and still weeping)-1 must tell the truth. My mother told me that she intended to drown the child. (Sensation in court.) I begged of her not to do it. Mr. harrow—What happened after this? Witness—We walked together, and when we got to the turning which leads to our house my mother said that we would not go that way for fear we should be seen by some one who knew us, and that we would go by Trumpet bridge. She had the child with her when we got to the bridge. (The witness here appeared to be very much moved, and was for some time apparently unable to speak. She then proceeded.) When we got to the bridge I walked on, and my mother stayed behind with the child. I heard her coming after me in a minute or two, and when she came up with me I saw that she had not got the child with her. (Sensation.) Mr. Barrow—Did ;our mother say anything to you when she joined you in the way you have stated ? Witness—Yes, she said she wished she bad not done it. Mr. Barrow—Did anything occur before you walked away front your mother and the child? Witness—l begged her to let me walk on Met, and I told her that I would put my fingers in my ears in order that I might not hear the child go into the water. Mr. Justice Blackburn asked the prisoner whether she wished to put any questions to her daughter. The prisoner, in a low tone, said that it was a very painful thing for a parent to stand up against her own child, and she went on in a rambling incoherent manner to say that abe did not recollect anything that occurred on this night, or whether her daughter was speaking the truth or not, but she said that no dependence could be placed on what she said, and she had been discharged from a great many situations for not telling the truth. The learned judge asked the prisoner whether she had any questions to put to her daughter in reference to her statement as to her having drowned the child, to show that this statement was not true. The prisoner replied th►t she was so agitated at the time that she did not know what took place. She went oa to say that her head was affected, and that she frequently did not know what she was doing, and the medical man who had attended her could prove the fact. She also said that she had twice had her head shaved. The learned judge, in summing up the case to the jury, said that it was undoubtedly • very melancholy one, hut they were all bound to do their duty, and the question for the jury to decide was whether the evidence established to their satisfaction the fact that the prisoner had been guilty of the murder of her child. He then re ferred to the facts that had been proved in evidence, and said he thought there could not be the slightest d,nbt that the child that was found in the river was the child of the prisoner, and that its death was occasioned by drowning. The question th►t would then arise was by what means the child got into the water, and, apart from the evidence of the prisoner's daughter, there certainly were very strong grounds, from the other facts in the case, for coming to the conclusion that the prisoner had thrown the child into the river. If, however, they believed the evidence of the prisoner's daughter, and he could not ate any reason why they should not do so, it appeared to be clearly established that the prisoner had committed the act imputed to her, and they would have no alternative but to find her guilty of the crime of murder. The defeat, of the prisoner appeared to be that owing to the infirmity of her mind she was not responsible for her actions, but he was bound to tell them that there was nothing in the shape of evi dence in reference to this question upon which they would be justified in acting. At the same time, however, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, he thought that the subject of the mental condition of the prisoner was one that might well be considered after wards, and he would take care that such inquiries were instituted, and he had no doubt that the advisers of the crown would act upon any information that was given to them in reference to the matter. The jury, after deliberating for about five minutes, found the prisoner Guilty of murder, but r e c ommen d e d her to mercy, on the ground that they did not believe she was of strong mind. Mr. Justice Blackburn, having put on the black cap, addressed the prisoner ' and said that she had b een con victed upon evidence which did not leave the slightest doubt of her guilt of the wilful murder of her child. The jury, however, had at the same time recommended her to mercy on account of the state of her mind, and be consi dered it a most proper subject for further inquiry ; and he had no doubt that if anything should be discovered that would justify zilch a course, she would receive *mi tigation of the sentence. He would take care that the necessary inquiries should be made ; but in the meantime all that he was called upon to do was to pas@ the sentence fixed by the law for the crime of which she had been con victed. The learned judge then passed the fennel sen tence of death upon rho wretched woman, and she was led from the bar by the turnkeys in attendance. Charlotte Griffin, 51, was charged upon the coroner's in quisition with the manslaughter of Thomas Aimee. Mr. Barrow prosecuted. The prisoner was a nurse in the Dover Union Workhouse, and the deceased was a child two years of age, whose mother was in the infirmary of the house, and who, in con sequence, had been placed in the charge of the prisoner. It appeared that on the morning of Sunday, the 7th of Apnl, the child required washing, and the prisoner pro- cured some water in a pail, which she took from a boiler, which turned out to be scalding hot. The prisoner, with ' out attempting to discover the temperature of the water, appeared to have placed th e poor child into it, and kept it there for five minutes, notwithstanding its shrieks and cries of pain, and it was so dreadfully burned about the legs, that death ensued from the injuries and the shock to the system on the following Tuesday. The prisoner appeared to have ex pressed her sorrow at what had happened after the I occurrence, and she placed flour and whiting on the burns, and did all she could to alleviate the sufferings of I the poor infant; and the affair appeared to have been the result of reckless carelessness on her part, and thee. did not appear to be the slightest suggestion that there was any deliberate intention on her part to cause mischief I to the child. THE CHADWELL-HEtTH WEIDER. The public will remember that at the last mires for the county of Essex a labouring man, named James Bacon, was convicted of the murder of his wife, under very distress ing circumstances, the deceased having grossly neglected his children and squandered away his earnings. The act appeared to have been committed in a moment of excite ment, ►nd the jury strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy, and the learned judge who tried him said he should give his support to the recommendation. The result has been that yesterday her Majesty's pardon for the crime was transmitted to the High Sheriff of Essex, but upon the condition that the prisoner shall undergo the punishment of penal servitude for the space of ten years. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.-HUNTINGDON, JULY 31. (Before Mr. Juatioe Bylea and a Special Jury.) NORTON AND WIPE T. THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. 011 alley, Q.C., and Mr. Abdy appeared for the plaintiffs; Mr. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Palmer for the de fendants. This was an action to recover compensation for per sonal injuries sustained by the plaintiff's wife in a collision that took place in the Easton Station on the 11th April last. It appeared that Mr. Norton is a gentleman who has several patents for machinery in wool combing, and has establishments in Manchester, London, and Paris, and as he was much away from home he was greatly assisted by his wife, who opened all his business letters, and often answere d them for him. On the day in question he and his wife travelled from Manchester to Ewen, and when the train got to the Euston station it was not stopped as usual, but came into violent collision with something on the line, and Mrs. Norton was thrown forward, and had her eye cut and much Injured, and she was then thrown back with great violence, one of the arms of the carriage strik ing her in the lower part of the spine. She lost her con sciousneu, and was not aware of the injury she had sus tained, but while going home in a cab she was seized with violent sickness, and at the end of the day she had an at tack of diarrhea, and during all the night she suf fered the most intense pain, and the vomiting and purging continued. She was confined to her bed fur a fortnight, and at the end of that time she was unable to walk. She afterwards went to Paris, but her health was so bad that she was obliged to re turn, and the doctors who attended her gave it as their opinion that her eyesight and nervous system were permit• oently affected. In consequence of his wife's illness, Mr. Norton was obliged to employ a secretary, at a cost of • week, and his expenses out of pocket consequent upon the accident amounted to about 1814 _ _ At the conclusion of the address of the learned counsel for the plaintiffs, the parties consented to a verdict for the plaintiffs—damages :100f. This we concluded the business of the assizes. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION•HOVSE. Mary Jones, aged 63, described as being a needle woman, and whose manner and address betokened • superior condition in life, was charged before the Lord Mayor with stealing 37 wooUen scarves or shawls, value 61., from the warehouse of Messrs. Dan. Gow Brothers, 47, Friday-street, shawl manufacturers. . _ From the evidence of Mr. Thomas English, one of the warehousemen in theservice of the prosecutors, it appeared that he was engaged in the upp er p a rt o f th e warehouse , from which he bad a view of each of the lower floors, and bearing a slight noise he looked over the balustrade and saw the petticoats of a female whisk suddenly out of the first floor warehouse door. His suspicions were aroused, and he instantly rushed down into the street, where he saw the prisoner, who had a somewhat bulky appearance, standing at the entrance of a warehouse three or four doors from that of his employers. He at once accosted her, and requested her to accompany him back to the premises of the prosecutors. She consented, but on the way she dropped from under her garments one of the shawls, and on reaching the warehouse she pro duced the whole of the remainder, and begged hard for mercy, declaring that distress and agitation of mind had driven her to the commission of the act, for which she was now penitent and contrite. The witness stated that the prisoner was unkrown to him, and he believed had never before been seen on the premises. Police-constable Doughty, 619, proved that he re ceived the prisoner in custody on this charge. She ad mitted that she had taken the goods, and said she was sorry that she had done so. When asked, she refused to give her address. The prisoner reiterated her plea of guilty, but desired to explain the reason she had refused her address. On the morning of the robbery she had risen from an attack of cholera, and quitted home, leaving her sister-in-law in the last stage of that disease, end she did not know but she was now no more. Knowing the trouble her brother was in already, she had declined her address in order that he I should not suffer more from the position she was in. The Lord Mayor said he should deal with the ease as a first offence, and send the prisoner for three months hard labour at Holloway. CLERK ENWELL. Thomas Phillips, • young fellow, described as a labourer, and giving his address at a low lodging house in Spital fields, WWI charged with stealing a watch and chain of the value of 16/. from the person of Mr. W. 11. Pertridge, a gentleman, in the Southgate - road, Islington, and further with assaulting him. . . The prosecutor, an elderly gentleman, said that he resided at No. 12, Albion -terrace, Stoke Newington. On Tuesday, in the middle of the day, as he was proceed ing along the Southgate•road, the prisoner rushed in front of him, scratched down the front of his (the prosecutor's) waistcoat, and with violence tore bin watch and chain away from the fastening, and ran off. He followed and called "Stop thief;" but the prisoner dodged about so much that it was some time before he could be caught. In the chase the prosecutor fell with much force on to the stones, and received a severe shaking. When the prose cutor got up to the prisoner and asked him for his watch, be said he had not got it, but whilst be was speaking a gentleman came up with the watch and chain and handed them to the prosecutor, saying he had seen the prisoner with them in his possession. The onlytbing Oust was missing was the gold key that was attached to the chain. Being afraid of the prisoner's violence, the prosecutor put him into a cab, and on the way to the police-station the prisoner took off a clean white °oiler and neck tie and threw them into the street. At the police station when police constable 212 N took down the charge, he said—l took the watch and chain. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and asked that the case might be settled at once. The Magistrate said he did not think that this was the prisoner's first attempt at watch stealing, and sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for six calendar months. The prisoner, who seemed pleased with the decision, jumped out of the dock. MEDICAL OFFICERS AND PAUPER LUNATICS.—At the annual meeting of the Metropolitan Poor Law Medical Officers' Association, held at the Freemasons' Tavern, yes terday, the President, Dr. Rogers (Strand Union), in the chair, the report of the council was read by Dr. Orme Dudfield, the kon. secretary. It gave an elaborate ac count of the correspondence and conferences on the dietary question, showing the progress that had been made, and holding out hopes of the speedy and uniform adoption of a liberal and uniform scale of diet. The com mittee regretted that their efforts to obtain some Altera tions in the Vaccination Bill of this session had been un successful. The council strongly condemned the practice of taking pauper lunatics before • police magistrate for an order of removal to an asylum, whereby great scandals sometimes arose, and in many cases of recent disease, great and permanent injury was created by the impression left on the patient's mind that he bad com mitted some criminal offence. A case was cited where a patient had been returned from the Asylum to the Strand Union Workhouse through en informality in the jus tice's order. He was then taken before a police magis trate, who decided that be was Wane, but sent him back to the workhouse for a week on probation. He was exa mined by a committee of three guardians, who declared him sane. Meanwhile the medical officer bad communi cated the fact* to the Commissioners in Lunacy, two of whom visited the man, and after • patient examination, made out their order for admission to an asylum. Before he could be removed he made his escape, axed scrambled on to the roof of a house ; sprang thence into the stre e t, escaping wonderfully without injury, and after wandering about for three days and nights, was captured by the police and subsequently taken back to Hanwell, howling the whole way. The council also referred to the unsettled interpretation of the law with reference to the duty of medical officers as to certificates of insanity, and concluded by recommending a letition to the House of Lords in favour of the bill to render the Poor-law Board permanent. Dr. Boyers, in opening the proceedings, con gratulated the body upon the circumatance that they new numbered 50 members, or one-third of the whole of the medical officers of the metropolis. After some conversation the report was adopted and resolutions carried for giving effect to its suggestions. A meeting of the Neutrality Laws Commissioners was held yesterday. Present: Lord Cranwortb, Lord Houghton, the Right Hon. Sir William Erle, Sir George W. W. Bramwell,Sir R. J. Phillimore, Q.C., Sir Roundell Palmer, M.P., Q.C., Mr. Travers Twig', Q.C., Mr. W. V.

As the box in which the snakes had lee brought over was to a certain extent wise" e, Mr. %atm had a stoutcase expressly manufactured for their reet tion, and the poisonous reptiles were installed in their be quarters. The new case had a thick Ow top, hot water cisterns underneath, and i tend by a spring latch, on one side.

The rattlesnake fastened cos :i4 off fetlock of the horse, which immediately rears: al plunged to such an extent as to shake the reptile off, . 41 before it could move away it was entshi-I to ow beneath the hoofs of the horse. In a few minutes .fie the horse had received the bite from the loathsome re:::e its whole frame quivered, its eyes nearly burst froin6ett sockets, and its moans were piteous to hear.
