The following evrWaee was then adduced : Vim Frederica Johnston, who was allowed to be seated dunes her examination, was called. Sho said—l have known the priamer at the her Bien the year IMO. He was introduced to me by two of my cousins. He wee at this time fullowisi the profession of an artist. After the intro. ductioe I Motod the primner to my house, and to IWO I ob served span on incasion that the prisoner was very melan choly, and he told me his mother was dying in Italy. and be was devotedly attached to her, and wished to see leer. I asked hist why be dad out go, and be mid he could nut afford it. I sated him what money he wanted. awl told him I bed MI. He Rimmed to think that was not "bough. He also said he ism threatened with legal proceediop by one of his country-men. and I think he said he must have 1:101. or 2:01. In consequence of what he said I advanced him 210 f. This was the tint money train action that took place between us. Before this he had offered to paint my picture. The went to Italy &find pve him the =my. Thu was in the middle of h. 4. 9. I was very intimate with the prisooer about this time, and conteciplatoil marriage with him, and a 'umber of letter. lamed between us. I have des troyed all this prisoner's letters. While the prisoner was ia Italy, se I supposed, in the spring of KW, I was anted with , illness, and did not see the primmer he a onnsider ohle time, and I they intimated to him that I bad cheesed my mind upon the subject of the maniess. The primmer appeared to be en try. appy. sad mid be should end his days in his owe c I - sdranoed to the primer at yarning time' 2,0001., which nebula a posture by Spagooletti valued at jOOl. I nearuihr my picture being sent to the exhibition. It was rejected se sat worthy of exhibition. The trimmer was aware that I took a great interest is works of art ; and we humanly travers e d u p on the subject. I tl oo k I first spoke to the prisoner about the returning of my letter. . t Intend d May, rd l at the same bum told tutu that I wished to break ow the lattosan. He wrote me a ;inter after I had said this to him, sod to cease queneof that letter, I had an ieterview with the primmer in the begiasing of laziest his studio. He was very violent at thee interview, and also at every other one I had with hue after I had told him that I wished to break off my intimacy with him. I persisted la my deter. miming sot to many him, sad us to assuring him &Dough to live upon, which be mentioned ia his letter, I told him I could an take min my self the responsibility of doing so. Whoa I mid that, he was very earthed, sad asked hew I awed to make me of such a word es responsibility. I heaped him to tell Me how I had injured him, and be mid I had moral him. awl he wend light to the lan anyone who attacked has homier, and painted to same lugs that were in the room. I wee my frightened, and said if I road tlo anything for him I was willies to de se. sad he salt something about eresey, and I told him I could sot decide without reffectioth He afterwards said that if I would give him money sad keep the secret he might be able to work.

I east the risme after Ws at the ilatteretriet linear, ad I was egintsid, and be told me sot to he frighteool. I bad a horror of him at ibis time because I (let assured that he intended to do something. He raked TWO what I had decided apes. sad I mid I bad decided anitieg, but if after all my kindness te him hiper sited ia myna that I bad injured him, if le wel d 64 me have my letters I would SikilinToll7 to give him Limn I was beet and dinermieed nen having my Wien, aid he *ail I should have them if I gave the the many.

After ib i s arrone men t lied been made I called ups the primmer at his imi , letoe, riot he again asked me what I had decided. I .ad, Nothies,.. and be replied, " I thought you would Jave had it in your pocket." He afterwards " Why I ehoul.l have thought this was a ems whoa a lady er a woman would sell the last thing she posemeal," Ile was very violist Loth in w or d s and gestures, and re peatedly " Moan, mosey. ant , I m us t Una" He ides talked smoothies shout a proof sad Wend • number of violent and indorse' s, eras, sad said he mot have lON. of the a day or two. owl I and I would see about it. I inn him shortly after this, sad gave the prisoner the 1001. Nothing particular act-tweet hot I was very much disgusted with hini. I subsegantly made ea appointment to tont the pruner at the Pritheoa in Otford-stnet, mid hood him ..if the remainder of the 2,0001., and be was to give as my Were. I mods this appointment by • letter dated the ad of Awed, and I distinctly toad him is this letter to holm tee all my letterl went te the Pantheon on the f , Alowleg morning amoebas to aa asremant. sad I had Prery procured at my beaker's menses 100(. notes. THE EXPRESS, The prisoner was at the place appointed, and he inquired bow I was, and then said," Donnez.les moi." 1 said in rePly, " Where are my letters!" lie said," I h ave th em ." I asked where they were, sod he pointed to a pocket of his coat, which appeered to have a parcel in it. I then said to him, " Remember how you obtain this money—it r • large sum, and the notes can he easily traced." lie walked about a short time, and the prisoner repeatedly asked me for the money. I would not let him have it until I obtained the letters, and he handed me the brown paper parcel now presiutsmt, and " L • voila" (here they are). I sail , " Are they all here!" and he intimated that they were. When be gave me the parcel I banded him the notes, and he exainieed them, and I said there were cineteen 100 f. notes, and repeated that it was a large nun,, and I hoped he would be careful of it. I asked the prisooer before we parte d, to give me a stamped receipt , and he hesitated, and at length refused to do so. and said there would be too many witnesses if we went into a shop. The prisoner then went away. The inducement for my giving him the money was that be should give me my letters, and I believed the parcel did really contain them, and if I had known it did not I .hould not have touted with my money. 1 got into a cab after the prisoner had left, and when I had gone a short distance I ezemitied the parcel, roil found that it miotaimsl only some old newspapers, and one letter that I hail written to the [whither ; this letter we. placed near a Lode that had been torn in the cover of the parcel. After this I oinimuniestod with my brother, Mr. Campbell Johnstone, who is my guardian meil trustee, and placed the matter in his halide. (The witness then identified the letters referral to by the leernol counsel in his opening as the handwriting of the prisoner.) l'pon one occasion 1 gave the prisoner • seal, an.l the impressiuo of that seat, • dove carrying a letter, was upon the parcel whet. I opened it. I never .11.1 the prisooer main after the transaction at the Pantheon until he was in custody. Comeeesainined— I had not two seals like the one that bay been produced. I once lent him a seal with the noun-ask"' of a lion upon it. No one wee pre sent at the interview between me and the prisoner at the Pantheon. I carried the pared openly in my hand after I got it from,, the prisoner. I had sent the letter that was ' isside the parcel to him,thout a morals before, as appeared by the pout mark. I ain net aware that 1 never dated the letters I sent to the pomace. I was only once at his rooms between that period and the 31st of August, when the prisoner gave me the parcel. I have no r"ollectioo whether I was alone with the prisoner at this interview. I saw the letter in question ou the occasion, but I swear I did not take it away with me !rem the prisoner's studio. I did not see the parcel in anyone's possession before I saw it at the Pantheon. I went home immisliately and locked it up, and showed it to my brother the moment I maw him. The parcel contained among other things a railway time table. I swear that this parcel was delivered to me be the prisoner at the Pantheon in the state I now produce it. I destroyed some of the prisoner's letters on the 2nol or MI of August. I can. net say how many letters I en destroyed, but there were certainly more than a dote°. The primate never said ' saytbisg to me about hi. letters. I believe I have always slated that at the interview of the 10th of June I spoke to the prisoner about the return of my letters. Three propo sition, were made to me by the prisoner in his letter, one of which we. that we were to be married. I swear that at this time I had given up all idea of marrying the prisoner. I did not confide the nature of my commotion with the prisoner to anyone. Our correspondence was of an affectionate and kind character. I addressed the pri soner in Italian, and sometimes es spoke in French. Mr. Chambers objected to the preeecutrix being ereasem audited with regard to the mahouts of the letter, which would speak for themselves. If they were legal 'violence thee might be presluoed so behalf of the dadeedant. Mr. Keene said that the only object be had in view was Ito show that the letters written by the preescntrie were meet kind and affectionate. eress-esamiaation contioned—l wee not upon such affec tionate terms with the primmer after I told him that I would not merry him as I was before. I have no notion how masy letters I wrote to him, but the indictment refers to sizty.three. and I believe I wrote • great many more. He red to call me '' Columba." It,. Me. that mean • dove ! Bares Martin —Pedal'. it enrage • pigeon. (A l e ah.) Mitasas—He used to call me his Columba. (La ughter.) I never gave say directions for a star to be ole in his studio. He did ' stick • star" in my picture. I made him a present of • seenthottle with a star upon it. 1 soppee these are the stare that he refers to in his letters. He Dryer told ate that he was compeornised before the world try lie essnulee with me. and I never Mani hint as that his ementrysissa shunned him because he was so much with me. Await of the propositions made by the prisoner was that he should be provided with money to enable him to go to his owe country, and I said that I would not take the respoesibility of advising him epos such • matter. ?be court here siljourued for the purpose of taking New refreshmeet and the irisl was shortly afterwards resumed.

The expenditure for the same six months amounts to 15,6381. lls. 10d., against 14,0!01. 3s. Id. in Dad ; the excess falling almost exclu de* upon the repairs of the plant aed the withatenauce of the stations and permeated way. The rolling stock having been now running from the open ingot the lines, the engines and carriages require extensive renewals and repairs, which are being carried out as found requisite ; and the effects of the past severe winter have occasioned an increased expenditure upon the road and works. Both plant and road are kept in excellent working condition. The attention of the proprietors is invited to the perusal of a full and excellent report on the stile of the rood, works and rolling stock from their indefatigable engineer, Monsieur Van den &guards. which is in the office. Monsieur De Kimpe, the company's traffic manager, has also supplied the directors with a full report on matters connected with his department, which is likewise open to the inmectiou of the shareholders. The result of the half-year's working shows an available balance on the revenue isocount of 5,6151. Ba. 4d., after providing for the preferential and other charges on this account. This balance will enable the directors to declare • dividend of four shillings per share at the legal meeting to be held in Bruges on the 31st instant, and which will be payable, as usual, on and after the 15th of November next. The In- crease iu the receipts of the line since the period to which the accounts refer is very satisfactory, and the directors hope that the constant increase in the traffic will still cow tiuue. In addition to the ordinary gradual improvement which usually takes place on railways, there are some sew lines spoken of in the neighbourhood of these railways, wirkb, if constructed, will materially assist the fate= meets E. of the company.

As Rated is the report, the falling off in the outward reoeiptio arose chiefly from the French competition on the Brazil line. Os the other hoed the homeward re ceipt; had increased,. owing ia a great degree to the Panama Railway. The rep air and renewal fund showed for the first time in the history of the company a balance d l,BOOl. in favour of the company.
