We beg to inform you that the quarterly sales of indigo, which commenced on the 10th instant, terminated this day, and consisted of 15,2177 chests (theluiting 3,059 cheats of old goods, nod 900 cheats in second hand.). Although a fair proportion his been sold, the s a e has not ru• off ratisfactorily. In the first place the quan tity put up was far too great to meet the wants of buyer., but a. there are so many different interests to serve, it is nest to impowsible to regulate supply and demand ; conse quently in • July rale, when most o f th e new goo d s arr i ve, every importer datums bin goo& for the clause of selling, without regard to probable I equirements, and the sale thus become+ too bulky aecondit , there is the uncertainty se to future Traumata. •It heisted that the new crop is likely to be huger than several of the previous owe, which km iaduce,l uoporters to he liberal sellers, and in order to realise they have given but little support to the sale ; sapiently the hoe and undesirable defective qualities of Bengal (of which there was an almodant supply) suffered a heavy decline. For medium qualites the fall was not so great, and the good and fine nearly maintained previous value ; thia also applies to Kurpah, the good and fine selling well, and the ortbnary qualities only iadifferently. Itry leaf Madras, of which the proportion was small, sold at last sae's rates to a little above for the good and fine, and the ordinary aorta a little under. The ordinary qualities of indigo are Dow more in praportionate vale to the finer sort• ; formerly they were ton high. We have again to notice the hurried manner in which 000111 of the late arrivals were put on show, and, in conaaluenve, were very imperfectly seen ; the g,..vin are thus nisteriallv Injured, anal no good purpose is ohtauleil, as geuerally after all they have to be wi we. (if the quantity brought forward it is estimated that 3,000 cheats have been bought in, 6,309 withdrawn, and 5,892 soil, to which may be added +daunt 1,200 of the boeght-in, making the total quantity sold about 7,000 chesta of which 5,1100 are estimated for report d ail 2,000 fur home 000 and re-sale.

THE LICENOLD VICTUALLERS THE SPIRIT TA X. —A crowded meeting of hemmed victuallers was held yesterday at the Crown, Clerkenwell-green, in order to adopt measures to protect themselves against the recent imposition of an additional duty on spirits ; Mr. Forster oc cupied the chair, and dwelt upon the injustice and unfair ne'ss of theimponition referred to. Mr. Turner moved "That on and after this day the price of all spirits and cordials be advanced Id. per quartern." Mr. Clark seconded the mo tion. After some diacussion Mr. Marston said be thought the resolution faulty in one respect, that in accord ance with it they were bound to increase the price of cordials by Id. per quintern, whereas he couriilered that the valor of the cordials should be estimated by the amount of ei into they contained. Some discussion followed, after •hich Mr . Marston moved the following amendment— " That on and after this day gin he sold at not leas than ed. and rum at not lees than &1. per quartern." Mr. Wells *wooded the amendment, when upon being put to the meet- ing, ti holds were held up in its favour, and 31 against it.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. ROME CIRCIIIT.—Lavern, Jr:br 23. (Bolero Lord Chief Justice Cockburn.) ALLEGED MANSLA COWER BY A SCHOOLMASTER. T/10•1118 Hopley, 41, • pen= of gentlemanly appearance, Illarfeudered to take h er trial upon a charge of the man. slarbter of Hashish! Channell Cancellor. Tate ors created the most interim interest, and the court was crowded dearly en hour before the time appointed for the commenceister of the proceedings. Sorjear Pani ks aLl Mr. Knapp conducted the prosecu tion ; Beirjeant tine and the Hon. O. Denman were couoael for the prisoner. Serjeant Parry, In opening the cue to the jury, said that he did not remember • more painful sad =woos duty being cast upon him than the sae he was then about to discharge as the mural far the prosecution in the present car. The_pinioner was• men of high character , and his position in life ws• such se to give him no temptation to commit crime ; and these facts rendered the present investigation doubly dirreming ; and in the onset be entreated of them to da .mms from their minds every rumour or statement they had heard in refs- MOOS to the and be guided in the decision they would arrive at sol ely the evidence that would be laid before them. The prisoner, he believed, was a man of high attain emote, and he was the principal of a school at Eastbourne, in this county ; and the c h arge that was made against him warn that by a course of brutal and cruel conduct he had caused the death of a young gentleman fifteen years old who bad been entrusted to his charge and care, and over whom it was his duty to have thrown • shield of protection. He and his learned friend had attentively considered the evidence, and he felt it right to state that the only reason why • charge of wilful murder inatted of manslaughter had not been preferred against the primmer was that he stood in the position of • schoolmaster, and that the father of the decreed young gentleman had delegated his authority to him ; and as the Lw of England =enlaced the use of corporal punishment to a moderate erteat in such • case, and in the present instance the death was alleged to have arisen solely from the excessive rtes of that power, it was thought the more advis able averse to pun= was to prefer • charge for the minor offence only against the pnsoner. He then proceeded to state that the deceased was the son of the late Mr. Ouraillor, formerly one of the Masters of the Court of Common Pleas, who had died since this unfortunate transaction, and he was the godson of the Late leader of this circuit, Mr. Baron Chanoell. in order to show the position of the parties, be informed the jury that the prisoner was to receive • stipend of DO'. per annum for taking charge of the deceased. The lad, it appeared, was undoubtedly an °briare and to sums extent what wee called a slow boy ; and it appeared that at Christmas last he was punished to some considerable extent by the prisoner, be having at that time been only • few montha under his charge. He went home for • short time at Easter% and then returned to school, and about the middle of April the prisoner wrote sie ra extonlinary letter to the father of the deceased, in which he stated that he had tried every means in he power to imoquer the boy's obstinacy and induce him to perform his studies, but they were of =avail, and that the only thing that could be done was to resent to strong mea sures of corpoeni punishment, and he asked the consent of the father to the adoption of this course. The father of the decreed permitted the prisoner to act as be thought fit, but be, of course, never intended to sanction the infiic. noel of any cold-blooded or heartless violence, such as was imputed to the primmer, upon his unfortunate child, neither bad he the power to do so, and if the prisoner or any other person in • similar position fancied that the law gave him say such pewee, it was high time for hie own sake and for the potectsion of the public that he should be undeceived, and be made to know that the moment • person in the posi- SIM ol • schoolmaster went beyond the bounds of res. sonsble and moderate correction to • pupil he was acting najestifiabl , and rendered himself amenable to the law. Thelearned sernatit then proceeded to state the facts of the case, and said be should he able to pmve that fora period of nearly two hours the primmer beat the unhappy lad with • skipping-rope and a stick, and that at 12 o'clock at MOt, at which period the punishment was inflicted, he left him • corpse ; and it was under these circumstances that be Eal before them to answer the charge of manslaughter r " ... now preferred against him. The following evidence wee then adduced : The Rev. J. H. en said—l am curate of the perish of Send, in `Surrey. The demised was my brother. My father died on the 22nd of June last. I know the prisoner. He kept • school for private pupils at Eastbourne in April isat and my heather was one of his pupils. He was 15 year. old lest August. He went to the school in October last. I saw l b= ler alive I. April of the present year. In consequence of so me thing I \salmon I went to Eastbourne on the 24th lot April. 1 bed previously been informed that my brother was hied sad that there had been an inquest, and I went dew. with an undertaker to bring away the body. The ' subsequently called upon me at the Burlington Hotel. The body at this time had not been removed, in ormesquence of something I had heard, and I told Mr. Hopky when I saw him that it might be D to have • postmortem examination, and :1 ° 1111 .4 1 was waiting to see the inspector, of polio upon the subject. I asked the pawner how it happened that he told my father he had left my brother on the night of his death at ten o'clock, when it was reported that he left him much lair, and he said he did not think it was later thee 11. I also asked him why he bad not sent sooner for • medical man, and be replied that I must make allow ance for his agitation, and that he was so *tat= at finding my brother dead at six o'clock on the following morning, that his first imputes was to lock the door, that no one else should go into the room while he was about to fetch the doctor, bet he found he could not lock the door, as there MN no key, and be then found it was necessary to break the and intelligence to Mrs. Hopley, and he did so to her and one of the servants, and they were both so terribly dia. tressed that it was some time before he could leave them. He told me that be then went to the house of Mr. Roberta, his medical man, and he was not at home, and he left • message, requesting him to go to his house as soon ea he returned. Mr. Hopley said that after this he proceeded to the telegraph notion and sent a message to my father =noun* his son's death. The prisoner told me that upon his return ha met Mr. Roberta, and took him into the room where the dead body was, and he saw it. I asked the prisoner if my brother took any notice of his punish ment, and he said " No." I then asked him if he fainted, and he rain said " No." I then inquired how there came to be heard uveams from my brother's bedroom, when he had told my father that he punished him down stairs, and that the boy was very cheerful atter,the punishment, and talked • good deal about all of them at home. The prisoner replied that my father was so agitated that he wished to spare his feelings, and did not enter into any =necessarily painful details; and he then said, that after my brother bad been punished he told him to go to bed, and be was unwilling to do so, and ke had almost to carry him up-stairs ; nod when be him he refused to tearer and he told him ifup-eta brree did not he should have to fetch the rope and punish him rain, and be did fetch the rope and punished him rain, and he bunt into teen, and my brother then put his head upon his near said asked to be allowed to asy his lesson. The prisoner then said that he prayed with my brother before be left him. I asked the prisoner if be drew blood when he punished him in the bedroom, and he replied that be did not ; and be told me not to think because be bad punished my brother in her bedroom that he had his clothes at. I next inquired if there was any blood in the bed, and he mid there might be • few marks on the sheets. After this I accompanied the prisoner to the room where the body of my deceased brother was in • leaden coffin. I observed • mark on the cheek, and in. wired of the prisoner if it was not • bruise, and he replied, that he believed it was oily the diacolouration that often took place after death. He then clasped his hands together and rid, "Heaven knows, I have done my duty by that poor boy ; " and we both left the room together. I inqu ired of the prisoner if any noise had been heard in my brother's room after be left him at half-past ten o'clock, and he said he had made strict inquiry of the servant., and did not believe that any one went into his room. I was satisfied with the pri sorter's explanation, and consented to the body being re moved, and it was taken to the residence of my father, at Barnes, in Surrey. In oonsequence of something that after wards occurred a post-mortem examirtioo took place on the Saturday following, and on the 11th of May there was a second post-mortem examination at the instance of the ' prisoner. The primmer sent me a report of the coroner's amulet on the 27th of April. Crosa.essmined—l understood Mr. Hopley to deny that any noise was beard in my brother's man, as well as that any of the servants had been into it after he left it. My brother had been to a private school at St. Leonard's. and had also been placed under a private tutor before be went to the prisoner 's school. The prisoner's school was mconi. mended to me by Captain ]teeny, the thief constable of the Simnel constabulary. The prisoner was paid 18W. par annum with him. My brother was rather an ob stinate boy, but be was more of a spoilt child. His head was peculiarly formed, and he was a backward buy. He would not readily do what he was told. Figures were • weak point of his ; but I should say that he could have done • simple sum in arithmetic. There had been a dis cussion with the family at tliristma. upon the subject of my brother's obstinacy. He was short for his age, and rather stout ; and when he came home at Christmas we all thought that be bed improved since he had been under the pnsonees charge. Re.examined—My father complained to the prisoner when he came boats at Christmas that there appeared to have been a good deal of violence used towards ham. The report .4' the inquest was then put in and read. The prisoner appeared to have stated that he left the deceased at halt past ten o'clock at night on the nod of April, and that he fennel lira dead on the following morn ing at half-past six o'clock ; and he made no mention of having punished the deceased on the night prior to his death._ By Berjeent Ballantiae—Tbe prisoner told me that the deceased had been in discrece and punished the day before his death. He also used that be bad made a state ment before the coroner which bad been purposely kept out of the newspapera, and he wished me to go with him to one of the jurymen to hear what had actually taken place. At the time I rocetsed the report of the iiquest I was aware that th e deoreeed bad been punished, but I thouf,bt that a rope only heel been used. Reasionin e d --I wail not aware that a stick had been used. I cannot nay whether my brother was acquainted with Use first lan rules of arithmetic. He was a parting le* kind and affectionate boy, sad very much attached to his father. By the Lord Chief Justice'—l believe he wee a boy it wee very difficult to teach anything to. He was dull in point of intelligence, and I believe be had also a distaste to learning. Ellen Fowler mid—l was in the service of the Filmier at Eastbourne in April last. I was nursemaid. I knew the deceased. On the evening of Saturday. the 21•1 of April, between five and six, I saw him iu the mesa - room, which wail on the ground floor. I saw him again between six end seven. He was then having his tea. I never saw him alive after this. I slept in the room neat to Master Oen cellor. About ten o'clock at night I heard the sound of Mr. Hopley beating some one in the pupil-room, which wee on the first floor. The beating continued until I went to sleep, which was in about a quarter of an hour. I woke again at a quarter to twelve o'clock, and 1 then heard Mr. Hopley and Master Canceller coming up stairs, and the prisoner at.- =be pushing him up. When they got into the of the deceased the prisoner shut the door and went down stairs and came up almost immediately, and directly afterwards he began besting the deceased again, and I beard him say, " Now do, there's a dear good boy." He did not say this while he was beating him. I heard the prisoner say, and four" (as though be were teaching him a lemon). This went on until a quarter past 12, but the pri mmer did not keep on beating him all the while. He stopped a short time and then went on beating him again. I had • clock in the room, and I got out and looked at it. The boy kept screaming and crying while he was being beaten, but all of a sudden there was complete stillness in the room, and about ten minutes afterwards I heard a slushing of water, and then some person went upstairs, and I heard the sound of the water tap, and after this I heard the sound of some person going up and down stairs fre quently. After all was still my mistress came into my room, and she wound up the clock and stopped it. I did not hear any sound of water being thrown on the floor in the deoeased'a room, bat I heard water apparentl7 poured from one vessel into another. This continued until one o'clock in the morning, when I west to sleep. After my mistress bad left my room the key Irma takes out of the door, but 1 cannot say whether the Wit wee turned or not. I got up on the following morning about belf-pest 6 o'clock, but I did not at that time notice anything particular. Before I got up I hoed the prisoner go into the deceased's bedroom. I saw Mrs. Hopley about a quarter to 7 o'clock go into Master Caneellor's room, and she had something white under her arm. Shortly after this I saw one of my fellowaervaate, teemed Alice Deacon, with a candlestick in her hand, and I observed that there were spots of blood upon it. The prisoner subsequently told us that he had found Master Clancellor deed in his bed, end he said he should day he lived. On the Tuesday morning following the prisoner came into the nursery and asked me if I knew what time he left Master Cancellor's bedroom, and I told him between 12 and 1, and he said he did not think it was so late, and I said I knew it was because Mrs. Hopley had stopped the clock et • quarter after 12, nod I had beard him in the room for some time after. The drawers of the deceased were shown to me at the board room on this Sunday, and I observed that there was blood upon them, and I also saw some of Mrs. H..ley'a pocket hand kerchiefs and there were spots of bl.. upon all of them. I was in the deceased's room on the Saturday after his death, and I noticed blood on the floor and on the hearth stone, and also upon the bath. It seemed to me as though there had been a good deal of blood and that it had been wiped up. I also saw a spot of blood on the jacket of the de. ceased. I likewise sawappearancea of blood in the pupil room which appeared to have been wiped up. There were a numbei of spots of blood, and one of them was as large as the palm of a hand. There was a carpet in the room, and there was blood upon the floor under it. Cross-examined—Mrs. Hopley was in the habit of wind ing up the clock in my room every Saturday night. I did not find out that the clock had been stopped on this night until the following morning. She went to her children end kneed them, as usual, and then left the room and wished me good night. Mrs. Hopley is quite a young woman, three or four twenty, and very much younger than the prisoner. It was after all was stall in the deceased's batmen that Mrs. Hopley came into my room. I heard very little water drawn from the watertap—not so much as would fill a jug. I did not say anything to my mistress about the beating that had been going on. 1 had noticed that the deceased was an obstinate boy, and Mr. Hopley appeared to be very patient with him Reaxamined—l wrote to Mrs. Locock to acquaint her with what I had seen. By the Lord Chief Justice — I was told that the deceased would not do what he was told, but I never saw any in stance of his obstinacy in this respect. Alice Deacon said—l was housemaid to the prisoner at the time the deceased young gentleman was under him charge. About half-past 9 o'cbck at night, on the 21st of April, the prisoner told me to send Muter Canceller into the dining room. He was in the play room, and I told him to go to Mr. Hopley in the dining room, Lid I never raw him alive soul. I went down into the kitchen, and while I was there I heard Mr. Hopley call the decea sed , and they then both went into the pupil room, and I thee heard Mr. Hopley beating him. I could not tell what be was beating him with. I heard several blows, and then& panes, width= the blows were repeated, and this continued front a quarter to 10 until a quarter or twenty minutes to 12. The diseased usually went to bed between 9 and 10 o'olock, and I gen rally took away his candle. On this night I sat up for him until 11 o'clock. I heard him cry out while be was bang beaten, and sometimes he and the . prisoner appeared to be running about and sometimes falling down. I heard this while I was in my bedroom. About a quarter to 12 o'clock I heard the prisoner and Mr. C.neellor go upstairs to the deceased's bedroom, and the latter seemed as though be was unable to walk. I heard nothing more that night, but about half-past 6 the following morning the prisoner came to me and told me not to go into Master Cancellor's room ; but he did not say anything about his being dead. I went into the pupil room on this morning, and I saw spots of blood on the carpet, quite wet, and it appeared as though some white powder bad been put on the blood, and it bad been rubbed. I went into Mr. Hopley's drearing.room soca after this, and I saw Master Queoellor's drawer, and trou sers, and socks Owe of the socks appeared to have been washed, and there were marks of blood on the other. In Mrs. Hopley's room I saw some dusters that appeared to have been washed, but there were still marks of blood upon them. These dusters were spread upon the floor to dry. There were also spots of blood on one of the sheen of Mr. Hopley's bed. The prisoner sent for me in the canine of the day, and told me that he had found Master Clan cellar dead in bed, and that he and Mrs. Hopley had mode him as comfortable as they could, and that they bad seat for Mr. Roberts, the doctor, and he was going to ' send a telegram to Master Cancellor's father. Mr. Roberta saw the deceased soon afterwards, and I also went into the room and wiped the cheat and face of the deceased. A few days after the death of the damned I found the stick and rope now produced in Mr. Hopley's private study. There were marks of blood upon both. (The rope was an ordimuy skipping rope, and the stick was a good need ordinary stick.) I also found a hand kerchief belonging to the prisoner, which was covered with blood. This handkerchief was in one of the prisoner's drawers, and I put it back, &ad when I looked for it again it was gone. There were also marks of blood upon the de ' oeased's candlestick, and upon the inside at otos of his shoes. remember on the marwog of the inquest the prisoner spoke to ono and said I should probably be wanted to give evidence, and he told me to say that I and Mrs. Hopley had made the body comfortable, and that I was to speak the truth and say all I knew. I wee not examined. I wrote to my father in reference to this matter, and the prisoner told me he had heard I bad done so, and he said if I did not mind what I was about he would send me to prison for hurting his character. Cron-examined—The prisoner spoke to me and the other servants several times upon the subject, and he said that be thought we had not confidence in our master and mistreat and this was the reason he did so. Fanny Holland, cook in the establishment of the prisoner, gave evidence of a similar characterto that of the last witless. Jane Johns, the laundress to the prisoner's establishment, proved that on yonday, the 23rd of April, some articles of clothing belonging to the deceased, and other things of the prisoner and hi wife, were washed, and that there were spots of blood upon several of the articles. Three coastguard men were then examined, and they proved that they saw lights in the prisoner's house at one o'clock in the morning of the 22nd of April, and at other periods during the night. Sergeant Tobutt, of the Sussex constabulary, produ ced the tremors of the deceased and the other articles men tioned by the witness Deacon. Yr. Emily, the registrar of births and deaths for the Eastbourne district, proved that the prisoner called upon him before church time on the 22nd of April, and wished to register the death of the deoeased, but witness told him be could do nothing until the inquest had been held. The prisoner said he was anxious to avoid having an inquest on account of the deceased's family. Mr &Lusby Roberta asid—l am a surgeon, practising at Fostbourne, and I was sent for by Mr. Hopley on the 22nd of April, and saw the deceased 'lying on the bed. I could not sign any cause of death of my own knowledge. The prisoner called upon me, and asked me for a certificate of the cease of death, on the following day, and I told him I could not, do to. erOse:elamined—The deceased's father Asked me if I thought any slight punishment that had happened would have bed any effect on the death of the child, and I said that from what I had heard I thought not. From what the pr• told me I believe the death arose from disease of ht heart. On the day the deceased died I suggested to the prisoner that there should be some further examination by myself and some medical pntlemsn on the part of the de ceased's family. The prisoner appeared to be averse to such an examination taking place on account of the health of Hrs. Hopley. I understood that the prisoner bad admi nietered some slight punishment to the &amend in sowed awe with the wish of his father. Rintiamined-1 had not the meet remote suspicion that the deceased had been beaten for two hours with a stick sad a rope. Sir C. Locock said, that in consequence of a OOMMUlliell• tics he received from one of his relatives. he wrote to the ham of the deceased, informing him of the rumour, that mai afloat relative to the treatment the deceased had re mind. The prisoner subeoqumtly willed on him and mid he was aware of the sad event thai had WWII pia*, at his hear st Eastbourne, and leiter= told him be bad beard something about it. The prisoner thew said the oorower's jury had returned a verdict that the dimmed died a nattwal death, but there was a good deal of gomipmad a great many lieti and it Timid same the peopled where pee a aft date that the deceased was likely to have died of diseased heart. Witness told him be could not give any each cer tificate, as he bad no reason to believe that the boy bad dis ease of the heart ; and he asked the prisoner why he theaght he had disease of the heart? He replied that he had very feeble circulation, suffered dreadfully from chil blains, and was verynervona id timid, and was afraid to go over a plank by himself. He then asked the pri soner whether it was true the boy went to bed in his usual health on the Saturday night, and was found dead the next morning, and he replied that he did not wish to distress his father by telling him all the **- I eumetances, hut he would tell them to him. He then said the boy was a very peculiar boy and very obstinate, and be could not get hira to do anything he required of him, and his father had sanctioned his employing corporal punish ment. He said that lie had told the father that if he was allowed to make use of personal punishment that he must also be allowed to follow it up tdl he had conquered the boy, and that it would do more harm than good to begin with such correction and then not follow it up. He said that on the Saturday the boy showed the same obstinacy, and throughout the whole day he would not do the most simple sum, which he knew perfectly well he could do. He spoke to him several times kindly and seriously, and, finding that he still resisted, he would not allow him to join the other boys in family prayer in the evening, but told him to remain in the pupil room, and after thi other boys had gone to bed, he went there to him, and prayed with him, and adjured him to submit, and told him what the alternative would be. He said the boy was still obstinate, and he looked about for something to correct him with ; but he was so little in the habit of correcting his boys that he had not even a cane in the house. He said be found a skipping rope, and beat him with it, and after doing so as he thought sufficiently, he desisted, and implored him to submit, and left the room, and returned, and finding him stall obstinate be beat him again. The prisoner went on to soy that he did this five or six times, and at last the boy threw himself upon the ground and refused to go up to his bedroom when lie ordered him to do so. He said he was determined not to be haled, and he dragged the deceased up to his bedroom, and finding that he was still obstinate, he went downstairs and fetched the skipping rope, and beat him agate, and continued to do so until he conquered him. He said that the deceased then became softened; he shed tears for the first time, and asked him to allow him to lay his head upon his breast and repeat the rum he had been raked to do, and he then left him and wished him good night, at the same time telling hini he was glad he was a good boy. Witness asked the prisoner if the deceased had not cried before the period he stated, and he said that he never cried, but that he shouted while he was beating him load enmo to be heard half over Eastbourne. Witness asked if the boy was not faint, and he said he was not, and he them inquired what all the splashing of water was about' The prisoner coloured up and looked confused, and then said he thought he remembered knocking down a jug of water. Witness then inquired if there was any blood, and he said there were a few spots on the bath towel, which might have been cowed by the boy pick ing himself. Witness, _ upon this, looked fixedly at the prisoner, and said be had heard there was blood in the room downstairs, blood in the bedroom, blood on the stairs, and blood upon some of his own clothes, which had been pertly washed out. The prisoner turned pale, and made no reply, and after standing still for a minute or so, he took up his hat and went out of the room. . . Croas.examined Witness obtained the information through his ester-in•law, to whom it had been commutti• eated by one of the servants of the family. . _ A statement made by the prisoner when before the magistrates was put in and reed. It was partly to the same effect as that made by him to Sir Charles Looock. He said the deceased was a very peculiar boy, end that he was not only very obstinate, bat that he was also actuated by a determination not to learn anything. Although between fifteen and sixteen years old, he did not know the difference, or pretended not to know it, between a shilling and a sixpence or a fourpenny piece. He corn. municated with his father, and he considered that he had his sanction for what be did, and feeling that it was abso lutely necessary that he should master the boy's propensi ties, he resolved, with great regret, to do so by severe punishment. He was in one of those fits of obstinacy on the day in question, end he admitted that he beat him until he subdued him, and he said his lesson rapidly and correctly. After this the prisoner said the fit spun returned, sad the deceased refused to go upstairs and to undress himself, and feeling that if be had given in it might have the effect of ruining the lioy for ever, he again punished him and succeeded in subduing him, and the deceased expressed himself grateful and went to bed. The prisoner admitted that he and the rope and the stick, but said he only beat the deceased about the legs and shoulders, and he had no other instruments to make use of, he being so averse to corporal punishment that he had not rasa so much as • cane in the house. The statement con cluded with en assertion by the prisoner that he was not at all in a pension or in anger when he inflicted the punishment upon the deceased, but that he felt he was doing his duty, and that he repeatedly requested the deceased to give in and spare him the pain of in fl icting further punishment upon hum Yr. Prescott Hewett, one of the surgeons attached to St. =Hospital, deposed that he made a pest,mortam of this doomed on the 28th of Aped, assisted by Dr. Willis sad Dr. Holmes. When he first saw the body it was oompletely covered so that no part but the face wee visible. There were white kid gloves on the hands, sad the legs and feet were covered with apparently men ' s stoking; which reached half•way . up the thigM. Upon re the unruly sad examining the body he discovered that t e legs and arms were of a dark livid colour and swollen from extravuated blood. He cut through the akin and then ascertained that there was • very large quantity of blood extiseasated into the cellular mem branes underneath. Under the skin of the palm of one of the hands there was extraverted blood three-quarters of an inch in thickness, and the cellular membranes under the skin of the thighs were reduced to • perfect jelly ' • in fact, all torn to pieces and lacerated by the blows that had been inflicted. The injuries most have been inflicted by some heavy blunt weapon, and the stick that had been produced was an instrument calculated to have inflicted such inju ries. The rope, in his opinion, was calculated to make the bruises and the stick to have produce the lacerations to which he had referred. On the right leg of the deemed he observed two wounds about the size of • gin• pence and an inch in depth, and he was of opinion that these wounds might have been occasioned by • job or thrust with the pointed end of the stick that had been pro duced. The head of the deceased was large, and exhibited the appearance of his having suffered from water on the brain, and this turned out to be the ease when the head wee opened. The Lord Chief Justice—Would this condition of the brain account for the deceased being of defective intelligence? Witness—lt certainly would do so. Dr. Hewett, in conclusion, said that from the appearances he observed he was satisfied that considerable violence had been used to the deceased, and he came to the conclusion that his death was caused by • shock to the nervous system and by the large quantity of blood extuvasated into the cellular membranes. He also expressed his opinion that from the evidence before the court and • statement made by the prisoner that the body was stiff when he first saw it in the morning, that the death took place about twelve o'clock on the previous night. Some other medical testimony in confirmation of that of Dr. Hewett was then given, and this closed the case for the prosecution. Serjeant FialLintine then mule a most eloquent and powerful address to the jury for the prisoner, but the idle ness of the hour at which it was delivered precludes doing more than to state that be endeavoured to show that the prisoner had no intention to cause any mischief to the de ceased, and that the melancholy result was to a considerable extent to be attributable to accident. _ . _ The Lord Chief Justice summed up, and the jury almost immediate returned a verdict of Guilty. His Lor dship then addressed the prisoner, and after com menting upon the brutal character of the offence of which he had been convicted, sentenced him to be kept in penal servitude for four years. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—JuiY 21. (Before the Lord Chief Baron Pollock.) William Johnson was charged with setting fire to hie dwelling-house, at March, in the Isle of Ely, with intent to defraud the Norwich Union Fire-of fi ce. There were five other counts in the indictment, varying the charge. The prisoner kept the White Horse Inn at March, where • benefit society held its meetings, and he was entrusted with the core of the "club-box." On Tuesday, the 10th of April. about 3 in the afternoon, smoke was seen issuing from a bedroom window, and from several parts of the roof. The neighbours assisted and the fire was got under, when, upon examining the bedroom, in a closet was found the box. The lid had been broken open with some rough instrument, and the box itself, as also • large chest in which it was kept, were burning The cupboard was not in the leant injured, and there is no doubt the boxes were set on fire to destroy the evidence of their having been forced and the money abstracted. The prisoner was in the house all the afternoon, and declared he knew nothing about the fire ; but afterwards said he could explain all. Upon being asked for his tools a chisel was found which accounted for the marks in the lid of the box, the indentations cor responding with the size and shape of the iron. The learned Judge having summed up, The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Sentence, six years' penal servitude. JULY 21.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.--STArroaD, JrLY 28. COMM OClONT.—(ltdore Mr. Justice Hill.) WILTOL DIOTROCTION OP XACHIIII/Y. Joaerk Cartwright, 13, Theasiaat Simkins, 46, Charles Simi in,, 24, all chsiomakers, and Mare Ann Oiil, 40, were all arraigned on the charge of " feloniously and maliciously ratting asd deetroying, on t►e 6th of June, at Brierley hill, mirk' toachisee and engins, to wit, emend pan of bellows, then and there fixed in &certain building, and need in the manufacture of iron chains." Cartwright pleaded guilty. Mr. M•Mahon prosecuted; and Mr. Kenealey defended the other two male prisoners ; the woman was undefended. The evidence showed that at' the' time 'of ,the alleged offence, the chainmakers were on strike against their em ployers, hut that Messrs. William Stewart, of Liverpool, who have a manufactory at Brierley-hill, had their works in operation, in consequence of having non-unionists in their employ. During the night of the lath of June, the two Simkins were seen helping Cartwright over the wall, by which access was had to Messrs. Stewart' works. They were known, and 60 soon as they had left it was found that 18 out of 20 pairs of bellows had been cut, and the leather portion entirely destroyed. In defence Mr. Kenerley urged that bellows were not " machinery" within the terms of the act. The Judge overruled the objection, and then Mr. Kenealey urged that the Simkins being applied to, helped Cartwright over the wall, but were innocent of his object. The j convicted the prisoners. The J udge y in sentencing the prisoners said they bail been convicted of an offence which stood at the foundation of the security of all property—an offence increased, because com mitted by the prisoners whilst engaged in a strife which could not but be injurious to employers and employed ; pre venting the former from rightly and profitably employing their capital, and bringing many fami li es of the latter to suffering and benary. The male prisoners mud be sen tenced to five, and the female prisoner to three yearn' penal servitude. Defendant repeated that publishing it to the w.atier was not his act. He had no alternative. Mr. Arnold repliefil;atTol;d an alternative, which wu not to have given it to auy one : the giving it was the publication. _ . Mr. Arnold then, addressing Mr. Humphreys, said that he still entertained a great doubt whether any proceeding could be sustained against the defendant for the letter he bad sent to Mr. Horsman. if a bona fide letter of com plaint of something which a person wished • member of parthuneut to take up were sent to him, and it merely contained the statement of grievance complained of, he thought it would be • privileged communication ; but if in that statement be travelled out of the record, then the privilege ceased. Although in defendant's letter to Mr. Horsman he complained of some wrongs he bad received from Sir James Fergusson, he spoke in much droner language of complaint against Mr. Paynter and the Secretary of State ; but in the letter to Mr. Disraeli, written by the defendant for the same apps. rent purpon as that addressed to Mr. Horsman, he went out of the question of his alleged wrong, and brought charges of cowardice against Sir James, which was clearly an offence. It must be borne in mind that with respect to communications sent to members of parliament it wind(' always be a question whether it was a bon& fide .mplaint, as it never could be tolerated that under pretence of making one it was to be made the means of publishing hire!. He repeated that he thought a superior court would hold the letter to Mr. Honman to be • privileged communicition, and recommended that that charge should not lo proceeded with, although the letter might be given in evidence with out making it the subject of a substantive charge to prove the animus. Mr. Humphreys said that after what had fallen from the magistrate he would not at present press the charge fur the letter to Horaman, but if after consulting counsel it should be deemed necessary to proceed with it or use it to show animus he would give the defendant notice of hie intention. Mr. Arnold then said he would extend the defendant's recognisance* till Friday, by which tame the depositions were to be prepared. MARKETS. LONDON WINKLY DOCK R3TURNB.-,DILY 21. THE POLICE COURTS. Darid Wens* Job;onwas --- 42aTne7amined on the charge of writing and publishing defamatory and malicious libels against Sir James Fergusson, M.P. for Ayrshire. After the examination of a warder at the Home of De tention to prove the delivery of mane verses addressed to Lady Fergusson, Sir James was examined. Mr. Humphreys—Did you while in Scotland receive the envelope and enclosure marked ABC from your wife, lady Edith Fergusson. Sir James—l did ;on the 20th of last June. Mr. Humphreys—Now, I ask you, is there the slightest atom of truth in the statement that you ran away from the trenches before debutopol ; in the statement that you hays robbed defendant of his patrimony ; is there, in fact, any tntth in any statement that he has made concerning you? Sir James—There is not the slightest ground whatever for anything he has alleged against me. There iv only this amount of truth in the whole; he rays in hie letter to Mr. Disraeli , "There was not the slightest pretext for the imputation, inasmuch as no one acquainted with the cir cumstances under which Sir James left the Crimea (reel for the discharge of his parliamentary duties) so soon as fiOt ing became serious, &c.," and the only truth in that is I left the Crimea because I had a few months before been elected • member of parliament. Mr. Humphreys—And von left, I believe, not only with the consent but by the advice of your commanding officer? Sir James—Yea ; and not only by his advice but also by that of General Simpson and Lord Raglan. This closing the examination in chief, defendant put the following questions to the witness : DefeWant—Do yon persist in your statement that I was not Mrs. Nuinythe's brother? Sir Jams—Y have since been informed you are ; but was not aware of it till lately. Defendant—When did you ascertain that ? Sir James—Since the last time I charged you here ; while you were in the House of Detention. Defendant—Your uncle was married to Mrs. Naamythe's daughter, my niece, was he not? Sir .James--He was. Defendant—You say von were in the Guards in the Crimea ; what regiment did you belong to? Sir James—The Grenadier Guards. Defendant—Were you present at the battle of the Alma? Sir James—l was. Defendant—Did you order your regiment to leave the field ? Sir James—l did not. Defendant—When the order was given to the Z3rd Fusiliers, " Fusiliers retire," in consequence of their being cut up ; did you not tell your regiment the order was meant for them, end tell them to leave the held! Sir James—l did not. Defendant—Did you not try to make them retreat? Sir James—l .lid not. Defendant—Do I understand you to swear positively to that ?_ Sir James—At so distant a period it is hard to say what orders were given. I remember various orders coming down the line ; but do not remember giving any such order. I was not in a position to do so. I was commanding no one. I was merely • subaltern in my own company. All I can my is undoubtedly the Guards never did retire a single foot on that day, either by my command or any one else's. Defendant—Do you mean to my your men did not pre vent you retreatiog, and refuse to quit the field? Sir James—Nothing of the sort took place. I do not know why I should answer all these questions. Ido not see why the Alma need be brought up. Mr. Humphreys also objecting, Mr. Arnold said he could not now put a stop to such questions, as Mr. Humphreys had himself thrown open such a large field for cross-examination. He (Mr. Arnold) would have stopped such questions long ago, as being irrelevant to the charge, had not Mr. Humphreys opened the door for them by his examination in chief. Mr. Humphreys said he had done so because he considered every man prosecuting in a case of libel was upon his trial as it were. He had, therefore, put such questions to his client in order that he might answer anything asked of him, and himself show that there was no truth in what the de. fendsnt had alleged, and that he wished to court every inquiry. Mr. Arnold suggested that Mr. Jobson should reserve his questions till the trial. Defendant said he had only a few more to put, which be preferred asking the prosecutor now. The cross-examination was then renamed as follows : Defoodant—Tioeu you did not leave the field of battle ? Sir James—No. Defendant—lf the privates of your regiment say you did, is that true or false ? Mr. Arnold—You cannot ask that ; it is not evidence. Sir James—The only circumstance I can all to mind which could have given rise to such an aspersion upon my character was -my company was what was termed the light company, and the order was given them to wheel back to oppose some Russians who had outflanked us. I remember giving the word "Front turn,* in order that my company should not go too far, and should turn upon the enemy, but I don't think such a trivial thing would have been remembered. . _ _ Defendant—Did you not quit the trenches under the cir eumetences mentioned in the verses (one of the libels I am charged with)? Sir Jams—l don't know which of the verses you refer to. Mr. Arnold—You must read the verses you want to draw the witness's attention to. Defendant then read as follows : "This place is'nt Wife, the balls fly about, Perhaps I shall catch a flea in my ear ; He trembled on hearing a Russian shout, And added ' Young Firrgasson shall not lodge here.' With that he led home some bold fighting men, As gallant as England ever sent forth ; Men who would fight again and again, Unless led by this vile cur of the North. The gallant old Guards of England were thus Constrained to retire when on conquest they reckoned ; And what has been often the cause of a ' muss,' Abandon their grog to the brave Fortpsecond." Sir Junes-1 no answer that I never left the trenches under any suck circumatancea Defendant then read two or three more verses, and was very desirous of going on with them, when Mr. Arnold interrupted him by stating that, if desirous, he could read them at his trial; and— Sir James solicited him to draw his attention to any par ticular rem, and he would willingly answer it. Defendant then inquired whether he denied the truth of the contents of the verse& generally ; and Sir James an swered that he most unequivocally Defendant—Did not your soldiers, as I have said in the Verses, abandon their grog to the 42nd? Sir James—They did ; they never retreated at all I during the whole of the time I was in the Crimea. Defendant—Did you not either cause these *ems to be stolen from my lodgings or picked from my pocket? Sir James—l did not. Defendant—Did you inform Mr. Inspector Bray, of the A division, in attendance at the House of Commons, that you had got those verses? Sir James—One day while in the house the inspector on duty aims to me and said a person named Jobson was in his room and wished me to be taken into custody ; I think upon charges of theft and perjury. The inspector said of course he would soon get rid of him, hut wanted to know what was to be done, as he had been there before several times, makmg • similar request. I said, " I don't want to know anything about him ; he has for • length of time given the great annoyance, and has sent • copy of impnxper vanes to my wife, for which I intend to prosecute him. Defendant—Are you aware that I expressed my regret at your wife receiving those verses? Did I not say so in • letter to you Sir James—l am not I received • letter from you, the language in which was an aggravation of your former offence. ----- Defendant here put mayoral questions respecting his patri mony, to which Sir James moat emphatically replied, " I never received 'farthing of yours in my life—not a farthing of yours in any way whatever." Defendant then put some questions relating to a letter he had written to Sir W. Dunbar, when Sir James replied, as before, that be understood from Sir William that he Lad liken no notice of ' ' ' " " • After some further questions irrelevant to the issue, Mr. Humphreys said be would now uk for a remand, for the depositions to be formally prepared. Defendant interposed. He submitted that there was no commode out against him. There was no publication of what was termed libel but what had proceeded from Sir James himself, and if he had thrown the document in ques tion into the fire when he received it, there would have been an end to the matter. Mr. Arnold said there mu the offence of two publications of the libel, by giving it to the warder and of publishing it to Lady Iseguason. linportd. Sooen—Weillndle.
