EASTER AMUSEMENTS. The Easter amusements this year—those of a purely dramatic character—are remarkable for a mall allowance of fairy spectacle. Many former Easters could be named which differed very little from Christmas in this respect, and at one time midsummer pantomimes seemed to be coming into fashion. Now, however, owing to the long " runs" of dramas and comedies at several of our leading theatres, and the Shakespearian councils which have prevailed at others, only two new burlesques have been introduced as Easter offerings. The national theatre—Drury Lane—has once more taken its' stand firmly as a Shakespearian house, resolved to give the poet arother fair trial. If Henry Me Fourth should prove a financial success we , may probably see a long line of Shakespearian re- vivals, but if, which is hardly probable, it should fail to hit the taste of the town, the managers will doubt less turn for help to some more modern " sensa tional" dramatist. The first dug of a theatre is to make a profit ; if it can do this by legitimate means so much the better. Easter, unlike Christmas, has always been eminently an out-door holiday season, and this year it is gratifying to record th at the weather has been tolerably favourable for such amusements: Good Friday was cold but dry ; on Easter Sunday we had a few April showers of De cember sleet, but Easter Monday could hardly have been better suited in March for a popular holiday. The resalt will doubtless be shown iu the returns of all those national exhibitions, like the British Museum, the admission fees to which are wisely paid for out of the taxes. DILITRY-LitNE- The production of the First Part of ll'ary Astra at this theatre, with Mr. Phelps in the character at Falstaff, with • 'metal east of characters in some respects above tie arsine, and with all those acetic accessorise which have distinguished the Shakesperian revivals at Seder's Wells and the Princess's during the last tee or fifteen years, is • somewhat unusual dramatic event to chronicle on an Easter Monday. The coat of the characters at Drary.lane, excepting Mr. Phelps and Mr. Walter Lacy, is what may be called • fair marketable met. There is nothing great in it, and there is such that is faulty is it ; but the faults are less faults of individuals than fauna of abed dramatic school. Knowing how much the stage is in want of "new blood," we have every disposition to welcome an actor with the greet personal gift, and evident intelligence and gentlemanly bearing of Mr Montgomery, but we cannot conscientiously do so while he adopts all these vices of a style which not even the Kembles could make endurable. The merits of Mr. Phelps's Falstaff are too well known to need any detailed criticism. It is not a broad, juicy render ing of the character—it is somewhat thin, except in padding, bet no point in the character is deadened for want of elabo ration. It has this virtue—it is Falstaff, and not a talking machine. The cowardice is well brought out ;so are the rascality, meanness, selftshnesa, and love of bragging. The scenery by Mr. Beverley is a great assistance to the drama. The Gadahill landscape, lighted by the moon, wan meet effective, and the rme may be said of the Rochester Inn, and the interior of the Boar's Head Tavern, in Fastcheap. The home was densely crowded, sad the audience appeared to be delighted with everything sad everybody. OLYMPIC. The popularity of the TicLW of Leave Mat► re mains undiminished, sod no change is, therefore, zequired ia the bills of this theatre. In all probability this successful Anglo-French chorea will " see out" the lesseeship of Meows. Robson, Etudes, and Co., which will terminate in the autumn, when the house will fall into the heads of Hr. Horace Wipe. We are glad to see that Miss Hughes, one of the most, if not the most, charming and finished young actresses on our stage, has returned to her post in the racial of Leave -.Van, as Mrs. St. EverernocaL Her companions, who have not had her two or tbeee moaths' rest, are doubtless getting weary of their parts, but they must not be ungrateful to a piece which has helped to make no many theatrical repu tations. The critical public—audience fit though few —have seen what Messrs. Vincent, Soutar, and Atkins (to say nothing of tried actors like Mr. Horace Wigan and others) have done in this drama, and will expect much from them in their next characters. ADELPH I. After rt•<ting for a week, during which Mr. Web. stet has kept the house warm with the Dead Heart, Mies Bateman has returned ta resume her character of Leah, sur rounded by those new scenic accessories which so piece cold so well do without. LYCECM. No change was made in the programme at this Loses List night, except by the introduction of an old faros. called A Day after the Fair, in which Mr. Widdicombe eastehsed the chief character with his nauel quaint and ori. gisal humour. Bei Denhohio, pending the production of Ahead, is still found sufficient to sustain the good fortune et Mr. lechter's theatre. Mr. Fechter will not appear until salt Saturday, when he will play Angelo is Bei Dnaua•o, and the reosipta will be generously given in aid of the subaziptioos for the eathren from the Sheffield isowlatico. r. JAMES'S. The popularity of Th with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mathews, Mrs. Stirling, and the other members at the compel, has prevented anything more than a trilling change in the programme—the revival of Mr. PfasicVs i ;reek burlesque, The Gu:den Fler , e, recently pro duced at the Haymarket Theatre. Mrs. Charles Mathews still plays Medea with great vigour, Mr. Chink. M " Chorus " with admirable coolness and humour ; and Me. John Clarke. transplanted from tlie Adelphi, strengthens the cast materially. HAYMARKET. The Rister piece proper at this theatre was a initholosical barlseque, wrought by the skilled hand of Mr. F. C. &mead. and entitled Venus and Adunts—a story of two rivals and a small boar. There was a ring of genuineness about the plaudits with which the piece ass receiv,d all through. The burlesque wee pre ceded by Led bundreary—ita 47.3 th representatson. PRINCESS'S. The drama of Punt': le, t , l ra and the Conv.iy of Err,,r• are .40 successful at this house, the latter owing to the sensation created by the Brothers Webb as the Two Dromite, that a new farce by Mr. Morton, rated Drawing r -, nd F^ , .•r, and Art 1,4 iris produced, less because it was wanted than as an Easter offering. It is of French origio, has plenty of bustling " business " and funny dia. logo.. and provides Mr. David Fisher with a dashing part— half li2ht and half low comedy—which no one can play with more spirit. The house was crowded. STRAND. Tin• -nterthiereetits at this popular little theatre comm...eed with a new comedietta, in one act, from the pen of Mr. J. rt. Woofer, entitled, .4 Bunt 1.,- a Hoat.ead. There is no su •11 remarkable point or brilliancy in the dia logue as to induce the belief that it is necessarily a trans• Lama or adaptation from the French ; though a certain elaborate ititrica , y in the plot would favour that assnmp• tires The piece, which was fairly successful, and pro voked some hearty laughter from an excessively good satureJ au•lieoce, consists, of a aerie. of ingenious rontreormpft, 4 which for a time everybody makes love to everybody silse's wife. and this social " confusion worse confounded gives rise to some very droll. and oftei, effective situations. Its object is to produce general merriment ; and is this performance kept the home almost coi.tinuoudy laughing, it mu. 4 ha regarded as a decided MCCAW. and may very pro bably have an extended run. NEW ROYALTY. The spirited directress of this theatre, not con tent with following the usual routine of producing • single novelty for the arousenteot of the holiday-makers, has made the hold experiment of presenang • trilogy to her numerous admirers. To be sure there is not in the three novelties produced last night at the New Royalty that unity of idea which pervaded the trilogies."' the ancient* bat it is by no means estiaan that Mrs. Selby has not done much better by vary ing her bill of fare, aad presenting her audience with a corns distta, an extravert's:a, and • farce. The first is from the pea of Mr. Isicaater Buckingham, sad is entitled Lore's usurp Dews. It is a pion is ow sat, sad its la- THR EXPRESS, taut turns oat the contrast between a wife who Ilea preserved the romantic feelings of love and of a husband who him lost the bloom of his first elections during an absence of five years as a captain in the naval service. The eztravegsnea is founded on the Gorman fairy isles of Gammer Crofts''. A very painful incident took place during the per formance of it, and contributed no doubt to mar Ito success. Mr. H. Seymour, who represented Jolinosia, the miller, fell down is a fit after the prism scene, when be had retired behind the mem& It was noticed that he had not reappeared, es he ought to have done, in a subsequent scene, and it was only when Mr& Selby came on the stage in the character of the grandmother that the cattle of Mr. Seymour'n absence was explained. It was with regret we learned at the close of the piece that Mr. Seymour was not only seized by a fit, but that he died. This was Mr. Seymour's fint appearanoe at this theatre i and when he appeared in the character of the miller he seemed to be not only full of life, bat full of energy. This unfortunate occurrence naturally damped the spirit of the actors, and when Mr.Barnand was called before the curtain, he informed the audience without, however, announcing the death of Mr. Seymour, that the piece was played under peculiarly unfavourable circumstances. A short and amusing farce by Mr. Walter Gordon, caned An Odd La, ter:Meats& the performances. ASTLEYS. "With new and powerful mechanical and scenic effects. a great and intensely interesting sleasaMnal drama in three acts, comprising a series of highly picturesque tableaux, entitled Rosalie, or the Chaim of Crime." Such is the piece with which Mr. K. T. Smith re-opens this theatre ; and its style, as we have taken it from the play bill, will serve the same end as Mr. Puts clock—it will save a great deal in the way of description. The writer, or producer, Mr. Higgie, is also the writer and constractor of the second piece, the Trap of Gold, wherein is set forth, in plain prose, wholly guiltless of a pun, the loves of Maunichea and Pipelee, a Danish youth and maiden. The burden of the piece falls upon the Roesrecht (M. Milano) and Mile Fancy Brown, who dance several astounding las together. TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 29, . SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—MONDAY. There was a very good attendance this af barman, the only approach to the subsarptioe room briog literally docked up, and the room itself scarcely less free from the du/ore/am of a dense crowd. There being no settling to occupy at tention, by way of prelude, business commenced at once with the Northamptonshire Stakes, for which Lord Zetland was barked torso much money at 100 to 3 that it looked as if his party considered the race already over. Gardener had also a hest of adherent', who stuck to him to the finish, although, however, the taking price, 5 to 1, was obtainable before the room broke up. The very favourable report of Costa's latest performance bad the effect of making him a great favourite, and at 10 to Ihe was supported to several hundred pounds. Fairwater, proverbial for her slow but sure draws in the betting quotations, came to 11 to 1, at which price she too was backed to win a good stake. The scratching of Blith6eld in the morning put many out of their misery, although indeed her position for some tints back clearly fortold what the fate of bin backers would ultimately be. For the Derby S to 1 to 2001. was noted in favour of Scottish Chief, and 1,000 to 60 twice about Forager. The remaining tramwotions re quire no comment.

An English opera company—the principal mem bers of which are Madam* Toonelier, Mr. Bowler, and Mr. Durand—have taken poseession of this theatre for twelte nights.

The novelty at thin theatre was a historical drama, translated and arranged for the Eoglish stage by Mr. James Anderson, from the French of Alexandre Dumas, entitled the TAe Soklaer of Fortune ; or the Deril'r Death Tower. The piece, re its title import,, is of a sensational character. Its subject is the amours and crimes of Margaret of Burgundy, regent of France, and Queen of Louis X. The cowtiOn fell amid general applaom, and Mr. Anderson and Mies Patumefort had to appear before the curtain to bow their acknowledgments. The perform snots concluded with the nautical drama of Ashore and Ago a 1. VICTORIA. Celeste at the Victoria is an association of name and place that would seem to indicate • considerable retro gradation in the professional status of one of our most popular actresses, or • very important onward movement in the respectability of • theatre which has long been sup posed to aspire to no higher patronage than that of easter. mongers and bargemen. Our sense of pit-miry and loy►l regard for a very talented le ly sad old &vomits w"l not PIMA us to aooept the former alternative, and we have therefore great pleasure in hailing the appearance of Madame Celeste on tremepontine boards as • proof that an improved taste and a higher standard of dramatic criticism have sprung up amongst the playgoing population of the New-cut and the Waterloo-road, in the cultivation of which this present enterprising lessees of the Victoria, Messrs. Frampton and Fenton, have certainly not been neglectful. The Weston in Red te the title of the drama specially written for Madame Celeste's drat introduction to • Victoria audience, and in it Mr. Stirling Coyne, the author, has achieved • double SUCCUBI. He has produced a piece ad mirably suited to the dramatic appetite of Lambeth, ►nd his invented or adapted a character equally suited to the ►pecie:ire' of the arguer who was east for the principal role. TM sew drama derives its inspiration from the French capital, where Le Timex. de Cartes, which is the original from which the chief features of the plot sod most of the incidents are drawn, had recently a successful run of upwards of 100 nights. The Woman in Red wee, altogether, • decided success, and is, no doubt, destined to be as successful here as it has been in Paris. GRECIAN. Mciaenthad'a Deborah (or Leah, as it is called at the Adelphi) with Miss Edith /kraud in the principal character, has long been an attraction at this house, and with the ekborate Christmas pantomime of IL-Aimee* Crime, it is found sufficient for the holiday entertainments. The panto mimic performance of Mr. George Conquest, the dancing of Miss L►ura Conquest, the clever singing and acting of Miss M. A. Victor, combined with the really elegant scenery and dream." •ill doubtless prolong the existence of this panto. mime for another season. BRITANNIA. At thin large and popular East-end theatre, the proprietor, Mr. S. Lane, ►away produces • saniptuous spec tacle at Fster, and this year he has goes beyond his pre vious efforts to this line. A piece called The Left-Heeded diarria , ,e has been written by Mr. Haslewood, to introduce as much brilliant scenery and costumes as possible, and the author has been well seconded by this scene painter and the dressmaker. The first act ends with the Great Ghost effect, with La the recent improvements, and the second and third acts have gorgeous terminations. The characters are well represented by old and tried favourites. An additional attraction has been provided in the enpge• memt of Master Perry Roselle, who performs in the Four Mow6rays, the personation faros produced for him at Drurylane. Ile iv the most genuinely clever " infant prodigy" we have ever seen on the stage. STANDARD. The Sadler's-wells dramatic company Lave mi grated here, and Mims Marriott, who has great merit as as actress, is the chief attraction in The Duchess of Mat* ROYAL ALLINBRA CIRCUS. M. Loisset has now got his excellent company of equestrians in good working order, and the multitude who like dashing riding, high gymnastic training, clever children, and intelligent animals, °an find all these things and more at the Alhambra. The spirited equestri►n gains known as the ride for the ribbon," as we expected on the opening night, has proved • great attraction, principally from the perfect horsemanship of three ladies, who might compete with the best "cross-country" riders. Since the first performances several new riders have appeared —pro• minent amongst whom is • little girl, named Beckley Roche; who possesses remarkable skill and courage. This child, we believe, is • pupil of Miss Boniest, the " star. rider" of the company, and she promises to surname her mistress. Master Thompson, who may fairly be called the infant Biondi•, is a great and deserved favourite, and his feats on the "low•rope," perfectly free from danger, are moist interesting. Every care is taken to promote the comfort of the visitors at this circus, and the noble archi tecture of the building adds a grace to the performances. AGRICCLTCRAL•HALL. 'Messrs. Straugo and Pulleyn have re-opened this hall for eqnsetriao performances on the same male as thosi which obtained such deserved popularity at Christmas. The programme is almost the same, with the exception of the tournament.. The whole floor of the building is devoted to hurdle-races, pony-races, steeplechases, and Romeo races, and nothieg can well be more exalting than these contente. The circus company still comprises the same experienced •luestrians, the chief riders being Mr. John Powell and Mr. Frank Pastor. Mr. A. Barnes and Mr. Ghee are retained for vaulting, and the director is still Mr. John Henderson. In addition to these attractions a " fire-king" has been imaged, who would be invaluable if attached to the London Fire Brigade, and who is a great favourite with the audience. The temperature of the building is math warmer sod move agreeable than it was at Christmas ; and judging from the attendance yesterday, Messrs. Strange sad Pulleys may ems apes a promisees, wring mama CRYSTAL PALACE. Despite the threatening aspect of the weather yesterday morning, the numerous attractions offered at this place of ever-varying entertainment drew together many thousands of holiday-makers, though the number was said to be considerably lam than on Good Friday. The announce ment that Wombwell's Royal Menagerie would be exhibited in the grounds was of itself entficieet to lead to profitable results; but this never-ending attraction was strengthened by such a variety of miscellaneous entertainments as the most exacting of sightseers could not fail to be pleased with. Amongst the leading features in the programme may be mentioned the " Whimsical Eccentricities of Orville Parker, Negro Instrumentalist, Vocalist, and Dancer ;" the " Magnet of Attraction, Les Quatres Pierrots, whose performances with violins, side-drums, he., have been the theme of admiration throughout the continenti the terpsichorean achievements of "The D'Aubans," the feats of " Ben Achmet, the Arabian Juggler," the pasture making evolutions of the " latent Polanders," and the "Athletic exercises of the renowned Brothers Nelson." The great source of attraction, however, was evidently the exhibition of the renowned stow of wild animals, many of which are so far tame, that they went through a series of performances in the gentlest possible manner. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. That the popularity of Professor Pepper and "The Ghost" has not waned wee abundantly evinced at the Polytechnic yesterday, this exhibition having attracted a larger crowd of visitors then upon any pre►ious Easter Moe day. From 12 in the day until 10 at night, with • eau short interval for the rest and refreshment of those em ployed in amusing the public, • continuous stream of visi- tors poured into the institution. As many of them as could went at once to the large theatre to secure • good place to hear the proferwor's " ghost lecture,"se it is called, butglocet entertainment it might be more properly termed; for such is the skill and facility with which the learned professor raises ghosts, not only of men sad women but of beasts, birds, and fishes, as well as shadows of things inanimate. that • mere solitary ghost with • sword sticking through it is, to use a common phrase, nowhere. Accordingly, the learned professor presented a new entertainment yesterday, in which he might have said with Prospero, "These oar actors are all shadows;' and to crown all be metalled to the audience his own ghost diminished almost to a vanishing point; for strange to say, having for • minute retired from his rostrum he appeared on the stages' a diminutive ghost only 7 inches high, to the intense amme meet of the audience. How MI/ scientific wonder is accom• plished must remain • secret between Mr. Pepper and his colleague, Mr. Dircks, hut it certainly was a rather startling thing to see • man transform himself into his own ghost, posses.* all the ghostly attributes of insensibility to pain or bodily injury. But apart from this, our Easter audience were treated to a dramatic entertainment which must be pronounced unique, for every actor wee • member of the shadowy world. A young knight is shown watching his armour in the old abbey church, in accordance with the old wage of chivalry, when in the dead watches of the 'eight he is visited by the abode of • monk, • syren, and • merchant, who each in turn endeavours to tempt the youth fromhis duty, but be steadfaatly resists them, and on trying to clutch them they instantly vanish. The manner in which the appearance sod disappearance of the spectres is massaged excited the wonder and admiration of the audience. We were afterwards presented with the ghost of • diving bell descending to the bottom of the sea, which is beautifully represented. From this diving bell • sailor emerges, and he, as well as the audience, me all that is so beautifully described in Claremore@ dream—" sights of ugly death, Nadal wrecks, men that fishes gnawed upon, wedges of gold, great anchors, heap. of pearl, inestimable stones. anemias:l pearls all scattered in the bottom of the sea." Here he is visited by the ghost of a dead sailor, which, by way of throwing some fun into the matter, dances • hornpipe, and is joined therein by the diver and the water demon. Wonderfully lifelike shadows are produced of syreos, nymphs, and mermaids, and it is extremely difficult to believe that they are only shadows. Bears this there were new and magnificent scenic effects, and new optical and dissolving views, which, coupled with the very great attractions that the institution always pos sesses, rendered it inferior to none as an Easter entertain ment, and thoroughly deserving of the patronage of the crowds of persons who visited it. GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION. Mr. and Mrs. German Reed, with Mr. John Parry, after resting during Pension-week, appeared last night with renewed vigour in Mr. Shirley Brooks's eutertaio meat, The Pyramid. Mut Roseleal's Evening Party now concludes the evening's amusements, and gives Mr. John Parry an opportunity of showing his rare humour and power in what we may call pianoforte recitals. Several special morning performances are announced of the popular operetta, July Lea. MR. ARTH►JR SKETCHLEY'S ENTERTAINMENT. Mr. Arthur Sketchley'e Parid, and Mrs. Brown at the Play, still successfully hold their ground, and furnish literary and artistic entertainment to full audience'. POLYGRAPHIC HALL. Mr. Woodin now feels perfectly at home in his little ball with his aew emnidrantatic entertainment, and ham made several judicious alterations since the first night The scene in whi.th he performs four characters at once by the aid of cleverly constructed dummies sitting in a railway carriage is almost sufficient by itself to fill the, hall for many months to come. ST. JAMES'S lIALL. Miss Grace Egerton (Mrs. George Case) and her husband, having been engaged by the indefatigable and obi galloon Mr. E. T. Smith to perform in Melbourne, Aus tralia, have thought it advisable to give a few farewell representations of their entertainment in London. The first of the series, which will last a week, was gives last night at the above hall. EGYPTIAN HALL. Mr. Telbin's magnificent panorama of the Holy Land is now being exhibited at this hall for a few mornings and evenings, previous to its exhibition in the provinces. It has lost none of its attraction for sight-seer i. MADAME TUSSAITVS. Tbls old exhibition, which has lasted out Miss Linwood's and • score of others, is still • favourite with • large number of holiday-makers, and was crowded throughout the day. The special attractions now put forth are figures of the two American Presidents, Lincoln sod Davis ; effigies of Henry IV. and his Queen, Joan, in the costume of the period (1399) ; and a full-length modal of George Victor Townley. ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY'S GARDENS, REGENT'S PARK. In spite of the gloomy and foreboding aspect of the weather, which did not promise much enjoyment for those engaged inoutdoor amusements, a large ceocouree of holiday-melon resorted to these gardens yesterday morning, sad continued to do so during the greater part of the day. The visitors up to the time of the closing of the gates at sunset amounted to 15,240—• large number, but less than those that have visited the gardens on several previous Easter Mondays, when that national holiday hag fallen later in the year, and the weather has turned out more ptial. It is satisfactory to be able to add th►t the behaviour of the piseaureueelsers, a large, proportion of whom were young people, was most exemplary, and that no injury whatever wa■ done to the society's valuable collection of living animals.

Julia Brown was charged with the wilful murder of her illegitimate child, Frederk*Brown, aged three years. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Keane, Q.C., in opening the ease, said that the prisoner at the bar was io Febnary last in service with • clergyman of the name of Beth= at Brettenham. That on thel7thof February she went to her father's at Felsham, and she had only one dram with her. She bought some rakes on the way And gave them to the children ; her own child ate one, but the other did not. She went to bed with her sister Elisabeth and the child. When Elizabeth awoke she found that the prisoner was up. At about 7 io she morning the prisoner went up to say goodbye to her mother, as she was going back to her place, and she passed through the room to say goodbye to bey child. She was with the child only a few minutes, and five minutes after the went out the grandmother heard the child vomiting. She went into the room, and found it had vomited over its shitt. When the grandfather came home he was alarmed, and mot for Mr. Anderson, • clergy man, to baptize the child, and for Mr. Leech, the surgeon, who pronounced it to be dying. The notion which the doctor then formed wee that the child died from a rupture of one of the intestines. When tbh doctor was there the mother was lying on the Boor, and she stated that she was ' faint. The child died at about 4in the afternoon, and be tween 12 and 4 the prisoner left and went back to her place. Mr. Leech opened the child and took away the stomach and portion of the intestines. He observed in the stomach two holm having a charred appearance, and indicating the pre. sauce of sulphuric acid. They were afterwards tested by Dr. Image, who mine to the conclusion that the child died from the operation of sulphuric acid, more commonly called vitriol. When the prisoner was taken into custody her boa was searched, and • dews was found which was the one she wore on the day in question, and it was found ' to be stained with what afterwards was found to be sul phuric acid, entirely undiluted. Mrs. 13etharn had bought • bottle of sulphuric acid to clean dresses, and finding that it was very powerful, she pot it into • cupboard, and on searching for it after the murder it was ((mod to be gone. There was no sulphuric acid in the house of the grandfather. The jury would probably come to the conclusion that snl phuric acid was administered to the child by some person, and from the absence of say person in the house and no in dication of any spilt about the child, which would pro bably be the case if taken by so young • child, and putting all the circumstances together, they would, he thought, a ls o be ooavioced that it was administered by the prisoner. Now the prisoner was keeping company with • man named Decopeter, and they would hear from the evi dence that he had made an objection to marry heron account of this child. The jury would hear these bete, and if they came to the conclusion that the was innocent they would be delighted to say so, but if not they would do their duty firmly. Eridenoe at great length having bees taken in support of the above statement, Mr. Cherry addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. He oommeooed by stating that the very feeble defence be should be able to offer was owing to the generosity of th e high sheri ff , who bad instructed him (the learred counsel) to watch the case on behalf of the prisoner. But the jury would contrast his position with that of the proescution, who had the assistance of en attorney to get up the case, and a leader of the circuit and • very able junior to conduct themes. The jury would make all allowance for this. The motive opened by the learned counsel for the prosecution had entirely failed. The man not only said be had not promised but that the child had been grantrooed. • prosecution were bound to show acme motive for this most unnatural crime. Both the grandfather and grandmother were very much attached to the child, and had never made any objections to maintaining it ; the prieooer therefore bad no mercenary motive, nor bad she that baser one suggested by his learned friend, but which he entirely failed to prove. Then, what opportunities had the prisoner for committing this crime! She got up and went downstairs before her aster, and after that she only went upstairs to take leave of her child se you would expect • mother to do. While she was in the room with the child the door of the grandmother's room was open. She corns, back into the grandmother's room, and, according to the grandmother's account, she remained talking with her for half an hour. but, supposing it were ten minutes, what was the doctor's testimony! Why, that the poison would take effect at once, and that the child would cry out. The jury acquitted the prisoner, the judge declaring at the same time thatthere was no imputation upon her family. WESTERN ClRCLTT.—Dartzts, lilmeca 26. Cow Couirr.—(l3aore Mr. Baron Mattis.) Tai lORTH WILIALL NURDZIL The calendar contained the name of Thomas Hieks, who was indicted for the wilful murder of Isaac Kendall, a young man living at Souodwell, Kingwood St. George's, on the Bth of December last The circumstances of the ease are am follows :—The unfor tunate deceased was is the habit of travelling with coal from &iundwell St. George's to West Kinston sod Coombe, in the cou•ty of Wilts. On the morn km of the 9th of December his body was found lying in a ditch at a remote plain called Foothill, within half • mile of North it mull, the bead being covered with wounds, the largest of which was seven inches loogisod three-quarter, of an inch deep, and penetrati•g the bone. There were other wounds about the body and on the face there wee a large wood under the noes, and paes►g through the jaw bone. The wounds appear to have been indicted with • billhook or sharp inatruwest of that kind, and the deceased must have been attacked while lying asleep ender his cart on the rind. The reason for the dr owed being murdered wee, it is supposed. to have pre vented him from giving evideooe at • trial in which the prisoner was concerned at the Wiltshire quarter seesioes. Several parties were &naafi), but the evidence was purely circumstantial, although it was considered by the magis trates to criminate H and he was committed for trial. Mr. Baron Martin, in hie charge to the grand jury on Good Friday, maid there could be no doubt • murder had been committed. It woe aOW requiring their carioca Con sideration as is the bat mode of dealing with it. It did not seem to be • case in which there woe a doubt whether it was murder or manslaughter. The perpetrator of the crime was undoubtedly guilty of murder, and from the deposi time, be did not think the magistrates mild have done otherwise than send the prisoner for trial. The evidence was certainly very suspicious, and they might have thought Nom* additional particulars might have been obtained be tween the commitment and the day of triaL But he re gretted th►t no new facts had become known. If they (mod • bill the nun would hove • right to be put upon his trial, and if he were acquitted there would bean end of the matter so far u be was con cerned. It would therefore be worthy of their °maiden, tioo what course they should take with regard to that bill. It might be that the evidence when it came before them would create a different impression this it had done upon his mind as well as on diet of Mr.BaroolkazawelL They had both reed the deposition, io order, if possible, to ascertain what conclusion could be legally arrived at. If however they were of opinion that there win sufficient evidence to ensure • conviction they would return a true bill ; but he trusted they would remember the fact, that if the prisoner was put upon his trial and acquitted, th►t in the event of their obtaining any additional particulate they could not call upon the primmer to answer the charge. Late on Saturday the greed jury threw out • bill against the prisoner, and Sir J. Awdry. the foreman of the jury, is formed the court that on the post-mortem examination the coroner refused to allow the body of the murdered man to be examined by more than one surgeos. This fact the grand jury wished to be communicated to the public. Mr. Baron Bramwell inquired what wee the coroner's in quisition Mr. Edina, who defended the prisoner, said the inquisition was not directed against anyone. The verdict of the jury was that the deceased bad been murdered by some person or persons unknown. Mr. Baron Broomall said, then them was no charge on the coroner's inquisition, to which Mr. Win replied it, the negative. The prisoner will be discharged, but if soy farther par ticulius come to light he will be again epprebeoded. THE POLICE COURTS. SOUTHWARK. Jahn Dap was charged with being comerned, with • female not in custody. in stealing two half-crowns and two shillings from the person of Jane Taylor, an elderly lady, residing atChisieliorst, while waiting on the platform of the North Kent Railway Terminus, Loodon-bridge. The preeecutrix said that on Saturday afternoon she went to the railway station for the purpose of . proceeding home by the four o'clock train. After pnrchumg her ticket she deposited two half-aowns and two shillings in her dress pocket. She then went on the platform, sod while reading the time-tables an officer came up to her and asked her to feel is her pocket, and see if she had loot anything. She did so, and missed the money above-mentioad. A few moments after she saw the prisoner is custody of Sergeant Holmes, a detective officer, with her money on him. John White, • aupeninnuated officer of the Metropolitan Polies, said he was employed is making arrangements at Parley-heath for the voluotairs, and on Saturday afternoon, while waiting for the train to proceed to Guildford, he saw the prisoner and a well-dressed female pass on to the plat form arm-in-arm. She looked about a minute or so, and then went op to the promecutrix. The female lifted up the latter's dress, and afterwards passed something to the prisoner, when they separated. He caught bold of the prisoner and called out to the railway poster to assist him, and while securing him the female contrived to make her leap& Sergeant Holmes, • detective officer of the /I division, specially employed by the South Eastern Railway Comiany, said be toot the primmer bum last witness, and on searching him found in one of his waistcoat pocket. two half-crowns and two shillings. The magistrate asked if be knew anything of the primmer. Witness replied that be did mot. The prisoner pleaded pil; to the charge, begging his worship to deal with him M • t summary manner.

Monday eau rather cloudy, occasismally sunny, and field work progressed most Javan: ably as well as extessively, the barley going into the ground in the finest order possible. Drilling and rolling was resorted to in all districts, and the farmers are making up for lost time during the Leavy rams aid floods in the early part of the mouth. Tuesday proved dull and cloudy, and rams war threatened, but little fell until the evening, when a few slight showers were experienced, with the eight dull. The:weather remained favourable to Thursday, sod spring tillage was pushed on with activity and emergy ; while the day following in Susses was sunny and bright, very warm and pleasant. It is surprising to lie u the great extent of field-work done within the past fort night ; the chalky and light soils are nearly finished, and in the primest order possible ; so all thew refreshing &Lowers would be useful, wow that the seed has been so nicely got in. Everything is very backward, particularly the meadow,, sod it will be • keg tune before there is a good bite of gram The sight frosts so frequently esperienc,u give a check t o vegetation, and the wheat plant begins to sigh foe warmer weather, the cold north-easterly winds keeping it bare, ru that there is a general feeling now expreseed that we cannot have se early harvest. Nothing, however, seems to revive the trade, and the present prices give spoor return to the agri culturists, large ea was theleat crop. This week's average was down t0:146.5d., and since January it has been difficult to get the average • little over 40s. per quarter, although choice white samples occiaionall? bring • high price, fins heavy Chidham having touched as. per quarter for • great weight in the neighbourhood where the choicest qualities are grown. Barleys have come out slowly, and fine qualities have realised good prices for seed puzposes; the nialtsters also paying high rates. This corn is going well into the ground, being so much accomplished towards another good crop, and farmers are disposed to sow en great a breadth as possible, in the hope of the sgitatiou for a repeal of the malt-tax helping next seasons price. Saturday proved colder, with the wind from N. to N.S.E., barometer low, and at 5 p.m. steady rain set in apparently for • wet night. —Mark-last Ezprus. .BEETS ATUBSI3.—ILaca 26.
