ROYAL INSTITUTION. The subject of the lecture on Friday evening the water-supply of Loudon, Mr. Dickinson having under takes to show that • new NOM of supply is attainable which would produes abundance of excellent water at a cheaper rate than it is now procured. On the lecture table there was a nodal of the country on the north of Loadoc, which displayed the principal watercourses, and indicated the position of the springs from which the New River is supplied Kr. Dickinson said that a great error had bees committed by Mr. Telford in estimating the supply heat springs u • constant quantity, and he exhibited printed tables of rainfall and percolation during the last twenty-mu years, to show the great variation that takes piece ilk the quantity of nth, and in the amount that percoldm through the ground to the springs. From these tablet I appeared that the quantity of rain which fell daring • year had varied from 41 inches in 1862, to 18 inches In 1851, those years exhibiting the greatest extremes, and that the average fall during the 21 years was 28 inches. Mr. Dalton's percolating gauge ex hibited still greater differences, for during last year it in dicated less than 11 inch of percolation, whilst in 1852 it was 14y inches. he a general role, there is no percolation imo lai' the summer months, the vain that falls being evaporated before it reaches the deeply seated springs. The source to w►ich Mr. Dickinson looks for the fresh supply of water is the river Colas, which he supposes must ►ays been over looked when other sources of supply were aught fee.

On Saturday morning, the 4th of November, I recollect the prisoner coming home at sin o'clock. He usually, upon corning home washed himself and went to bed, ge tting up a bout three o'clock in the afternoon. lie did not go to bed that morning. He got his breakfast sad went sot betwixt sight and nine o'clock. Prisoner bas two outs, a dark one and a green one He bad also some red dish pocket handkerchiefs. He had also a scarf'. He re turned home again about 8 o'clock the same evening. When be came is he eat down just behind the door. I asked him to come in, bet ho said No, he was not cold. It had been raining that afternoon. I told him to come to the are, as it had been very wet. He said he was not wet, he had bad an umbrella. He remai n ed: bout 20 minutes. He then went into the bedroom, wer he stayed about 10 minutes, sad then went out. He returned at 12 o'clock that evening. Nut morning I went into his bedroom and oaw his dark-tailed coat banging. I took it down, and noticed a good deal of blood on the right sleeve. I pointed this out to my brother, John Hellon, who was in the house at the time. On the Monday morning I saw my husband pull • basket frost under the prisoner's bed. I saw him take a pair of unworn out of it belonging to the prisoner. When pulled out of the bed they were wet all over and dirty. They ware rolled up. They were unrolled before me. They were wet at at the bottom and all round at the back. Mr. Landow came in at the time. (The witness then denied that washing was going on when Mr. Lindow came. She had put some things In the tub, bet had not been washing, *either had she washed the shirt or tumors, nor seen them washed.) Never saw any mar of prisoneer. Prisoner got his hair cut on Sunday.

SATURDAY, Fan. 24. John B. Wilson, surgeon, deposed to having chemically examined some pities of cloth cut from a coat and waist coat, and found that certain stains were from blood of a re cast date. Examined, on 14th November, some corduroy trousers, which appeared as if they had been stained and afterwards washed. From one part obtained results which satisfied him the stain was from blood. Believed the blood had not been on a month. The witness then described the appearance of the body of deceased. There were several wounds, and one large wound which extended round the throat to the spine, cutting the windpipe and arteries. The wound appeared as if an instrument had been thrust in two or three times. It appeared as if it had been done with a bluntish instrument, such us clup-knife—not • razor. The wound could not have been self-inflicted. It was probably done from behind. Jo'. n Fidler, surgeon, gave similar evidence. Amos Munroe, prisoaet's half-brother, deposed to finding the wet shirt and trousers tinter the bed on the 6th Novem ber. Prisoner knew that Turner paid the wages on Satur• day. On Sunday night some people were talking at wit ness's house about the murder, in the presence of prisoner. Some of the neighbours in the house said they were blaming the prisoner for murdering Isaac Turner. He said he was innocent ; that he knew nothing at all about it. He said he was at Wath Brow top at 11 o'clock, at a public•houee That is four or five miles from Lancelay Bottom I paid prisoner his wages. I last paid him a fortnight before the murder. I gave him 11. llt. ad., a sovereign of which he returned to me for his meat. John Helton ' brother of Jane Munroe, had some blood pointed out to him by his sister on prisoner's coat, and gave information to Mr. Dickenson, the magistrate. Ann Thompson deposed that prisoner told her he got the blood on his clothes while bleeding • cow the previous winter. Mr. Dickenson, a magistrate, went to prisoner', house en the 4th, and found a blacksmith cutting his hair. Mr. Monk, for ',dealer, objected to the conversation which paned between prisoner and witness'.; and the objec tion was allowed by the court, as the interests were so momentous. Mr. Dickenson continued—Prisoner gave me the shoes be wore the day before, and, after some hesitation, allowed me to look in a box which he kept locked. He ;took out a quantity of wearing apparel, amongst it a dark square. tailed coat, which he gave to me. I observed it was much i marked with blood. I 'eked him for an explanation of that, and he gave me one. I also noticed blood on one of his caps. I drew his attention to it, and he gave me an ex planatine. At that time I looked under the bed and saw a basket. There were some old rage in it. There was no miner's eoat. I had all the rags taken out of the basket, and there appeared to be nothing else. If there had been a pair of trousers and shirt I should have noticed them ; there wee neither. Superintendent Clark, of the Whitehann police—l took prisoner into custody on Nov. 4th, at his house. I found a knife (produced) in his least, and las. 4d. in silver in his box. I saw Tisdale pull a basket out under the bed. A miner's jacket was in it. lam certain there were neither shirt nor trousers in the basket. I brought the Feiner down to Whitehaven in a conveyance. I never spoke to him from after we left Kitkland. He said, "I can dear myself; I was at Wath Brow Top public-house yesterday morning at eleven o'clock. There was two young women in the house, one of them waited on us. I was is company with a young man from Ravenglass Yale." I knew the house be mentioned—Mrs. Fisher's. There is only one publio-house there. I drove straight there at once. We arrived there between 11 and 12 o'clock, and called Mrs. Fisher sod her daughter up. I asked Mrs. Fisher if there were two young men at her house at 11 o'clock yesterday morainic. Mrs. Fisher said "no." The prisoner said " yes." Mrs. Fisher said he had been there in his life. He said something more. I then asked for the daugh ter, and she was called down. She alto said he was not there, and he made no answer. (The witness then de tailed how, upon comparing prisoner's shoat with the ONO in the field covered over by Mr. Watson, they esereepsadei erectly._Ann Fisher, innkeeper, Wath Brow Top, proved that the prisoner aid not come to her house on the 4th et November. Henry Steel and William Waite proved that the raw found near doomed was very like one which prisoner had about 12 months ago, and which he kept on a beam in a room whore he slept.

A great neither of witnesses were then examined, con sisting of neighbours of the defendant who were attracted to the spot immediately on hearing her 'cream, who proved that no men came either out of the door of the house or dropped from the front window, which could not be raised sufficiently high to admit of a man's body passing through it. Inspector Stott, and Jarvis, Finnis, and other experienced officers of the detective force, stated that they had made a most minute and careful examination of the premises, and had arrived at the conclusion that it was an absolute im possibility for anybody to have got out of the bark window, which the defendant pointed out to the as the one through which the men escaped, for that it was screwed down, and could not be opened without the aid of • screwdriver—la fine, that there was not the slightest trace of the escape of any human being out of either of the windows. A pawnbroker's assistant produced the articles described by the defendant to the officers, which she stated the bur glars had carried off; but one of which, he said, he had • distinct recollection of being pledged by the defendant. Nene of this evidence we. in the least degree shaken by ereas-szentinatioa. Mr. J. H. Cooke said—l am a surgeon, residing at 140, Minorite. On the Bth of January last 1 wee called in to see the defendant. I found her on the floor partially faint, but not insensible to anything that was said to her. There we. blood on the upper lip, as well as on the left she& I ordered her • little brandy and water, and bathed her tan. I then washed her face, and washed away the blood ; the wound appeared to be in the right nostril, from which blood had flowed. There we. no appearance of an incised wound on the nose, but the nose was bleeding at the time; the nose did not present a contused appearance. There was no bruise at all. I have seen cases of side blows on the cartilage of the nose sufficient to produce bleeding, but net sufficient to produce a contusion. There was blood ma the defendant's cheek, but on removing it I found no thew sion or injury of any kind. The Lord Mayor—Did you examine up the nostril, te see whether any wound had been inflicted which predated the blood ? Witness—l could see no wound, but several times I washed away the recent blood, and more continued to flow, showing that it was then flowing from • wound in the nostril. She complained that she bad been cut in the right arm, and pointed to the spot. I there found three scratches, but in incised wound. These had been very recently doss. I examined her gown, but could find no tram of • cut in it. Her dress was shown to me on a subsequent theasion t sad on examining it I found that • cut had been made in it, corresponding with the scratch. The Lord Mayor—lf any instrument had cut them* the dress as you then saw it, it must have made • greats' incision in her flesh than the mere matches. Witness—Yes, certainly. I take upon myself to say that there was no cut in the dress when I first saw it. Cross-examined by Mr. Levy—The scratches might have been made with a pin or with a penknife. A pin, I think, I would be as likely to make them as anything. They were about the size of pin scratches. The defendant, no doubt, had received a blow on the nose, but that was not in a place where she could not do it herself. The Lord Mayor having stated that it was his intention to send the matter to a superior tribunal, Mr. Levy said that under these eircumstane.. not trouble the court with any observations. The defendant, who communicated freely with her solicitor during the investigation and who maintained remarkable self-possession to the laic, when asked by the Lord Mayor, what she had to say in answer to the charge, replied, " I have to say that every word I have said is correct." She was then fully committed for trial on this charge, but will be brought up again to-day for the formal completion' of the depositions, when it is expected that the other charge of perjury committed in Mallett's case will be pro- 1 edd see with. The Lord Mayor said he would take bail for the defen dant's appearance, two sureties in 401. each, and her husband in 801. The court was adjourned for two hours to enable her to get the necessary bail, but she failed in doing so, and was eventually conveyed to Newgate in a cab. The inquiry lasted till eight o'clock at night. Sir It W. Carden, who was present during a considerable part of the investigation, but took no part in the proosed tugs, immediately on the receipt of the above communise. tion from the Secretary of State for the Home Department, proceeded to Newgate and read it to ?dallett, who in • becom ing meaner expressed himself deeply indebted to the ma gistrate for the trouble he had taken on his behalf. It is entirely owing to the exertions of Sir R. W. Carden and the vigilant inquiries he caused to be made that Mellott has received a free pardon, and been rescued from 15 years' transportation. A strong feeling of sympathy has been excited in his favour, and his release from prisoa would have 1 taken place at an earlier period had it not been for delay occasioned by the recent ministerial changes When Sir R. W. Carden visited him in prison he ordered him to be sup plied with everything is the shape of clothes suitable to his condition, the unfortunate man having parted with his own apparel previously to assuming the attire of the con vict, and he has consented to remain where he now is until some little fund may be raised to enable him to go abroad. • The Lord Mayer mentioned that he bad received a note from Miss Coons inching a cheque for 501, for the imme• diate relief of the distress now prevailing, which that bene volent lady wished to be applied to eases coming under the notice of his lordship. Miss Coutta added that she had sent 601. to the Coalwhippen' Association, sad a similar min to the magistrate at the Thames Police Office. he would ANTI-WAR MEETING AT WAKEFIELD.—On Wed nesday evening last, a meeting under the auspices of the anti-wu party was held in the large room of the Corn Ex change, Wakefield; and it having been announced by pla card that George Thempees, Fig., would deliver an eA dress as the objects of the war, the rem was densely crowded.

On Saturday the Lord Mayor was en gaged upwards of five hours in the investigation of • charge of perjury pre ferred by the City Solicitor on behalf of the Corporation of London, against Louisa Harrison, a respectably attired woman, wife of 'journeyman carpenter. The following are , the circumstances of the ease, which are of a most ex- , t r aerdinary character, and excit ed the greatest interest: About two months since a man named Mellott was brought before Sir R. W. Carden, charged by the defendant with having entered her ho use , tied her hands torethtr, threatened to murder her if she cried for help, and after M using her, robbing her of some money, in silver, and various articles of wearing apparel. 'Upon her evidence Mellott, who throughout protested his innocence, was committed for trial, found guilty, and sentence of death was recorded against him. On the 22nd of January the defendant ap peared at the Mansion-house, and swore an information to the effect, that on the Bth of that month her house had been again entered by a man named Taylor and a boy, who bcth wore masks, and who, after inflicting a cut with • knife on her arm, at ta ck her a violent blow on the nose, which rend ered her perfectly senseless, and that they then plundered the house of money, several dresses and dress pieces, and a coat of her husbaad's. She also swore that Taylor had, previous to the trial of Mellott, offered her a sovereign not to appear against him. The police, who were immediately called in, instituted inquiries which Judson' them to come to the medulla not only that the charge against the man wismellse sailed Taylor, but also that against Milieu, was • pees Widen*" and that her story was • tissue of Meshes& Irma beraming to end.

COTTON.—Lyrnaeoot, Fen. 24.—The market closed heavily, but prises are unaltered. The sales reached 6,000 all to the trade, comprising 100 remain and Moran hem, std. to 61d ; 160 Egyptian, 6d. to 71d. ; and 600 Surat, at 3d. to 40. per lb. COTTON GOODS.—MANCOESTIIII, Fan. 24.—The mar ket for cotton yarns and cloths continues very depressed, and the sales this morning, as throughout the whole week, have been on a limited scale, falling much below, is the ag gregate, the present large production. Some further pro gress towards limiting production by running mills fewer boars has been made, but it is not sufficient at present to lead to aoy marked result, and the prices of all kinds of 1 yarns and cloths are still gradually declining. The change from day to day is scarcely appreciable, but Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co., give the following as the extent of decline over • period of a month past :—" The Waal changes of prices are as follow : a decline of lid. per piece on 7 8 hs printers, of Id. to lid. on madapollawa, of lid. to 3d. on 9 Btba printers, of 2d. to 40. on O. tithe shirtiogs, of lid. to 3d. on the already most depressed article of India', shirting, up to 64 reeds, and 3d. to 6d. per piece on some of the superior 66 reeds which previously commanded higher proportionate rates, of Id to I id. per pieoe oa jacconeta, of Id. on mulls, of Id. to 10. on T cloths, and of about 3d. per Owe on loog-cloths. Domestics have not as yet given way womb in prise, but they are showing symptoms of an ap , preaching decline ; and yarns have declined, though with sensiderable irregularity, a full farthing, and in some in itiates one halfpenny per lb." Some of the print houses are moderately employed, and there will be a fair show of -w and novel patterns for the coming season. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lazne, Fin. 24.—The improve- Lent we reported to have taken place in the woollen mar ket last Saturday, hu been fully maintained today. There hu been a good attendance of marobants in the cloth belle ; considerable ■ctivity and a very fair business has been done. The trade in the warehouses is beginning to move a little, and as there are symptoms of a change in the weather tak ing place, we Dope the demand for the spring trade will now ooninience,nad have a beneficial influence on the trade generally. HARDWANN.—Binurnonax, Fun. 24 —Trade here still continue. without alteration, unless it be that greater languor prevails. Mere men have been discharged in the course of the week, and some mills have been stopped by the scarcity of coals. In the district the stagnation is expe rienced to even a greater extent ; furnaces have been blown oat, partly from the same cause, and partly from the cir cumstance of the stoppage of the canals preventing the con veyance of mine and other material. The iron trade; Notice has been given to the men employed at the manufac- turing works of a reduction of 10 per cent. in their wages, to tate effect in a fortnight from last Monday. CORN.-CARBeation, Fen. 24.-We have again to re port a very dull marker, and to effect sales lower prices were taken. Wheat, 665. to 685.; barley, 275. to 33a.; beans ' 38s. to 425. ; peas, 365. ; oats, 22 5. to 30 5.; clover seed, 68s. ft 60s. CANitretheav, FIB. 24.-Ws had a large supply but a very heavy sale ; prices about the same. Brown wheat, 635. to 68s. • white, 684. to 765. Barley, 275. to 325. Oats, 255. 6d. Beaas;36l. to 38s. Peas, 365. 6d. CARLISLE, FIB. 24.-There was a good supply of all kinds of graia at our insrkit this morning, for which there was a good demand, at rates fully equal to last week's , . A few lots of wheat realised more money. Wheat, white, new, 275. to 291. ; red, new, 255. to 26.. 6d. Barley, old and new, 12a. to 13s. 6d. Oats, potato, 10s. to lls. 6d. ; do. common, 91. to 105.68.

CoLeawermi, FEB. 24.-A good supply of wheat and barley ; the demand for each slow, at a decline of ls. Beans and peas unaltered, with but few on sale. GLOUCESTER, FEB. 24.-The attendance of farmers was again large, but most samples were taken home. The little English wheat bought was picked up at le. leas money. Fo reign no worse. Beans, barley, and ladian corn continue overlooked, whilst the oat trade showed more firmness, and 'some parties raised their quotations G 3. on the week. No imports this week. GUILDFORD, FEB. 24.-Wheat threshing having been very general during the frost, our market has been supplied very liberally of lets. The demand has also been large, and no ' difficulty was experienced in effecting sales,. To-day an advance of Is. was generally obtained for white wheat. Wheat, Ms. to 84a. Barley, 28s. to 341. Oats, 265. to 31s. Beans, 445. to 48s. Peas, 40s. to 461. HERTFORD, FIB. 24.-We had a very dull market to-day. Wheat sold at Is. per load less money, supply good. Barley in large supply, end sold at fully Is. to is. 6d. per qr. lower prices. Oats, peas, and beans, ruled dull at last week's prices. Wheat, 38s. to 465. per load. Barley, 28s. to 365. per qr. Oats, 245. to 30s. Peas, 245. to 28s. per load. Beans, 255. to 28s. Tares, 35.. to 465. Rye, 245. to 28s. Noßw ICH, FEB. 24.-Our market was fairly supplied with wheat this day in time condition ; price, ruled precisely the same as last week, the amount of business, however, was limited owing to the impassable state of the rivers and ' canals in this locality. Flour was in slow request at late' Intel ; late prices were maintained. Barley trade was slow owing to the same cause. Beans and peas no offer. Oats were in good supply, demand limited ; the few transactions were at precisely previous rates. NEWCASTLE UPON-TINE, FEB. 24.-The weather still continues very severe, and is causing much suffering amongst the working classes, and by consequence consumption is diminished. The trade during the present week bas ruled inactive, but as stocks are so low, holders do not press sales, hence in the limited business passing our millers have had to pay full prices for wheat, whilst lieu has been parted with, in partial instaaces, upon lower terms. Barley has moved off very slowly, and only now and then purchasers can be found, who have the turn in their favour. In other articles so little has transpired that quotations may be deuced nominal. At our market this morning we had again a very abundant show of wheat from the growers, but the arrivals from the south being insignificant, the main bulk of the receipts coastwise being from the north, fresh-thrashed samples were taken off steadily at about the rates of this day th'noight, extra farmers' red making 70e. to 725. weighing 63 to Gabs. per bushel naturally, whilst 725. was also 81•49 1 for some choice new yellow from Fifeshire, 631 be., wheresel for the best runs of Scotch white 74e. could not be exceeded. 1 In South country qualities or foreign little was done sad 'prices underwent scarcely any variation. Upon flour we' reduce our quotations le. per sack, at which reduction we , look for rather more demand next week. In rye little stirring. Malting barley mast be written Is cheaper, with a very slow inquiry, and the same remarks will apply to grinding descnptions. Beans still coming freely to hand from our growers, we reduce our quotations fully 2s. per qr. Boiling peas not much inquired for. With oats we were more sparingly supplied by our farmers, and late rates were well sustained. The arrivals this week are :-Wheat, coastwise, 1,713 qrs. •, barley, ecutwise, 1,360; oats, coastwise, 455 ; flour, 536 sacks. PETERBOROUGH, FEB. 24.-We bad a fair supply of wheat here to-day ; the trade slow, and but i little business s doing, sellers being unwilling to take lower prices than last week. A large show of spring corn. Barley, 56lbs, made 30e. per qr. Oats, told. to Ir. lid. per stone. (food hard beans, 40e. to 411. per qr. READING, FEB. 24 -We had a good supply of wheat and the condition improved. The millers rather slow in buying except the very choice samples; on the whole, we think sales were made in favour of the buyer. Barley was also plentiful, at about last week's prices. Beans and Peas easier to buy. Oats unaltered. WORCESTER, FEB. 24.-There was a full attendance, and a good supply of wheat at market to-day, which sold readily at about Is. per qr. wader the currency of this day se'anight. Barley nominally unaltered. Oats again lower. Beans and peas very unsaleable, except samples fit for seed. WISBECH, FEB. 24.-With a continuance of Severe frost, we are liberally supplied with grain of all kinds today, farmers having nothing else to do but to thrash and deliver. The wheat trade, under these circumstances, fully maintains the value, of this day week, and farmers are&by no means free sellers. Oats and beams quite as dear as last week,:and rather in favour of the seller as to price. Prices to the growers : Wheat, old, 641. to 741. per qr. ; new, 631. to 76e. Oats, ls. tad. to la. 2d. per stone. Beans, 445. to 46e. KIRCALDT, FRB. 24.-We have still a continuance of the frost, which now becomes not only a serious interruption to farming operations, but, we fear, injurious to the wheat pleats where they are uncovered. At our country markets this week we had less grain offering than usual at this sea son, and evidently less pressure to sell than was exhibited a week or two past, so that we can report little change in price of any kind of grain. Here to-day we had less grain brought forward than for many weeks past. Barley met a slow sale at last week's rates ; wheat and oats sold quickly, the former at a trifle under last week's prices, the latter a little over. Wheat, 601. to 735. per qr. Barley, 295. to 365. 6d. Oats, 231. to 301. DUBLIN, FEB. 23.-Our corn market today was extremely kindsof grain; wheat scarcely supported the prices of Tuesday, and bailey and oats were 3d. to 6d. dearer.
