It is tectseary that Mr. Berkeley's motion be met by an explicit and en equivocal negative. The men of high rents and dear broad must be given to understand that the condem nation of the corn laws is final, and that the question Is not to be opened ap again in thelegislatare, at least in the House of Commons. DEPUTATION OF PROTECTIONISTS TO LORD J. RUSSELL. On Saturday a deputatlon from the delegates who suretab:ed at the Crean and Anchor, is the coons of the week, waited oa Lord Joha Russell, at his official residence in Downing street, to present to him an address speed to by the " Conference," hold at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, on the 7th inst. Mr. 0. F. YOU NO heeded the deputation, and read the address which wee agreed to at the meeting of delegates. Alice a dormitory conversation, In which the bad temper displayed hr the wir is. mu the principal topic of direussion, Lord JOHN RUBBELL said—l on only say that I take upon nirolf the whole responsibility of any advice whieh I may feel it my duty to give to my sovereign. My experien ce hads me direc ly to the opposite conclusk.n to that arrived at by you upon the point, whether we ought to go on with fres trade, or return to the prindples of praUsetion and restric tion, nor do 1 think It de-irable to d.sesive parliament in order to arrive at the snot of the country on the subject. With respect to the suffering which is stated to axis., though I think mach of what is said is incorrect, I have heard soffieient from emu parts of the country to know that deep suffering does exist, and I am aware that that suffering is partly attributable to the recent change in our commercial laws, and I believe it to b. inevitable. Ten years since I clearly saw that this country re quired some change of those laws affecting supply, as it wee yearly becoming more commercial. My object woe to nuke the transition so as to occasion as little suffering as possible. lam sorry to sty that a combination of egricultu ' ral and other interests decided that no necessity for any change of our system existed in 1840, though the opinion of parliament in 1846 became completely changed. A general election fAlowed their decision in 1347, and the electors de cided to continue the policy the House of Commons had laid down in 1848. Ido not think it wee very wise on the part of the interests in 1840 net to seek some compromise of the great question whisk I then brought wades consideration. I thick it would be far more unwise now to pretend to reim pose protective duties, for, so far from that settling the ques tion, 1 believe it would give rise to fresh agitation for altera tions of the lawr, which would be injurious to the protected interests themselves; and I believe that nothing could be more injurious to the permanent intormta of the country then for parliament to impose protective duties in 1851, which would again lead to agitation and their repeal In 1862 or 1863. All return to the former system being, as I be lieve, impossible, it may be desirable to equalise, if possible, the charges upon land, which I believe to be the wish of all parties. However great or difficult the change, I believe that the general upset of the country is encouraging, and that it is the duty and interest of all parties to endeavour to adapt themselves to It. Entertaining these views, 1 feel it my duty, either as a minister of the crown or a member of parliament, to act in conformity with them, and if I enter tained posy views I should act accordingly. Mr. TOIING and Mr. Gurshun having addressed a few words to his lordship in support of their views, the deputa tion withdrew. Svictua.—On Saturday Mr. Baker held an impost at the titer, Wilkes-street, Spite Melds, on the body of Thomas Pickard, aged 18, the sop of Mr. Pickard. one of the parish raw collectors of Bpitallialds, residing at 37, Wilkes. street. Mr. Thomas Pickard, the father of the di rasdthat hie son wae swrenticed to a Gabfest mak l V i t terar, bet resided at home with him. He had noticed for several weeks peat a great alteration in his mind and ap pearance, which he was unable to account for. He was is a low and despoading state, and of late refused taking hie meals. He had frequeetly asked deceased If anything was the matter, to whisk he invariably replied, " Nothini," sad he was not aware that he had formed so y attachreent to a female. Oa Wednesday last he was in a very dejected state, which was also mottled by hie wester, but who was unable to aconat for it. He slept la the same room as witness, who was called by hie daughter about 8 o'cle-k on Thum day morning, mad cm eateries the kitchen he found the de Pallid if UV WSW the doorway of • closet, the walls of which were covered with blood, and on lifting him up he foetid his head near:y separated from the body, and oaly ad hering by small plies of skin at the back of the neck. Ono of witness's razors was firmly clenched in the deceased's right hand. Mr. Lewis, • surgeon, said that the deceased had been dead for some time, and that his death mast have I been iestantaneoes. la annum to a quota= by a juror, Mr. Pickard stated that the deceased would have come in for 60W. on his arriving at 21 years of age, which he was fully ' cognisant of. Attar some farther evidence **jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity." THE F.XPRESS, MONDAY EVENING. MAY 13, 1860. ARTISTS GENERAL BENEVOLENT INBTL TUTION. On Saturday the anniversar festival of Ws 'nett tatioa took place at the Freemason 's Tuna Greet Quest street, Limola's•inn VAIN. Sir R Pasn,'Ben., M P., is the °bale supported by Lord Hantinge, the Hon. Mr. Har dier, dolma Rawson, Mr. Dtvid Rifler= It A , Mr. Clarks= Iltaufkld, RA., Sir Wm. Ross, ILA , Mr. Movies, Mr. Elmore, Mr. Frith, Mr. Webster, Mr. Csoseriek, Hardwick, Mr. Peach atom, Yr. Lames, and many other distieguished artists and patrons Out. The GRAMMAR la psupseimg the health of the Pena, stated that Prime . 11it lsl Wane= him that Her Majesty felt a deep Shun Y the welfare of this iustitation, and be (hie Robert Peel) was dkestsd to doh that Her Ms inty had plated at the disposal of the society a declaims el OW The money wee bil= of great importance to the Insti (ha tution, bat the value of the gift would sot weigh so =aerially upon their sir de as the fest, that Her Majesty, by her esuallieszese, had set an example to other patrons of the sits. The tout having beta responded to with the usual oaths/dm= the other lapel toasts were duly disposed of. The chairman then pro posed the arse sad nuy, Wading is levy eulogistic s pa to the psspaalWievmwls et Lord Harding*. Lord HARDINGS returned tkuks, saying that he had the greaten satisfaction in ackweriedging this toast ea so in ttttt tins an coca ions,. The army always felt proud at these public festivals of receiving the approbation of their snow countrymen. There was seareely any eau. of people whit were so muck indebted to the artists as the army were, fee it was from them they derived the most vivid re pose-stations of all their most resassakable &chanteuses. He had, chamfers very great pleasure in Won aseocisted with these who had so often rendered such Tenable si n c • both he the military sad navel palestina. The nest tout was that of " krosperity to the Artists Gaunt Benevolent Institution," and the Cmatamaw, in proposiag it, said he should not attempt to dilate spun topics connected with the importance of the arts—topic with which they were all quite familiar, and which had too often been exhausted =other occasions of ais nature. The innorance of theft:le arta in primula( refinement, aid in cultivating a taste for the iatellutaal rather this the sensual, was almost universally nicogaisted. The duty of the president on an oz union like the present was hot to seek an opportuniiy for oratorical disiley, bat simply to do the best in his power to promote the object for which the iturinni.in wee founded, by making that object familiar to thou to whom it might be c naparatively =lumen. The appeal which he should now maks would not be so much to those who were present this day, and who by their paean hul l given proof of the iuterest they telt in the =Wale of the insti tutiou—but it would rather be suds to those who were absent, and on whose sympathy end active ambiance he thought they had • strong claim. As his appeal was made to the shunt, he mast observe that it could not be effectual =less aided by that gnat and important institution, or estate, or by whatever name they might call it—he meant the daily press—an institution which whilst it must be IT. Needed as a powerful instrument for dessminating know• ledge, and correcting the errors and prejudices to which mankind were liable, might truly claim the merit of always standing forward—(so far as his experieses had enabled hive to judge)—without relent= Spire= or distinction—as the a snerons advocate of every cause which was connected with chanty and unievolenc.. (Cheers.) la his opinion the period at which ha reads this appeal was peculiarly opportune, considering that within the last few days there bad been mused all thou exhibitions which presented the collective works of genius which had sceumulated daring the past year. The opportunity was sow (rend to every one, without trouble and at • very small 0:51, at inspecting thoos works, and observing the I pea& they afforded of the progress of set is this country. Whist regarding those productions, people should bear in wad the raisin' prooeee which in many cave had bans it.. unary to complete them. How many sleepless nights hail beta passed, what du had beta experienced in the productioi of these works which now adorned the walls of the various exhibitions now open to the public ! During the last year there were not less than 6,000 works of en nbibited in London, and in the course of the present year there would be seen not less than 4,000 works, the result of the t.il and labour, and thought of the past 12 months. These moan be coasidered the productions of those who had been cons - ' arauyely successful in the race of competition, and who h adhad sufficient health and s t re egth to enable them to contend for the reward they sought ; but there were behind these, in a distant track—out of sight, and he might say almost out of mind—thoss whew mooed. had be; n clouded by misfortune and chseue, and some of whom had left widows and orphans, accompanied by no other earthly pommies than an unblemished and an honourable name. The melancholy fact was, that severe suffering was often attended by an independence of mind and a delicacy o feeling which led to a concealment of the truth. (Hear, hear.) It was for the purpose of mitigating that suturing, and so mitigating it that the delicacy of feeling in toe per. emu relieved should not be wounded, that this institution bad been established. The right hon. but. then proceeded to detail a variety of facts with • view to point out the praiseworthy object of the boclety, that object being (as sp• plated from sprinted report) to extend relief to all distressed meritorious artists, whether subscribers to its funds or not, where works are known and esteemed by the public, all will as to their widows and orphans. He (Sir Robert Peel) went on to say that he would eadeavour to make known to those who were proud of being einsidered the patrons of art what w, re the shims of this ruelient institution. Here was a so ciety, +monks: the directs re and president of which were some of the most distinguished 'nista of Great Britain, end since Ito establishment in the year 11114, twelve humored cues had been relieved. In every ease there must be a combination of merit and distress, which constituted the sole claims to the benevolence of the institu tion. It we. a society which acknowledged merit, in whatever department of art it was to be found, and its objects were promoted upon principles of the greatest liberality and the severest eeoncmy—liberality in the pay ment of the salaries of officers, and economy in the manage. mint of the expenditure. He thought that these helm if generally known, would be admitted to constitute • strong claim to the charity of the patrons and admirers of art. Ana be would venture to assure them that every work of art they might have in their possession would he viewed with in creased satisfaction, if it were proved that their money had been expended not only in purchasing the pictures, bat in censing the funds of an institution, whose mesitorions object was the relief of deco and, in some cases, unmerited distress. (Cheers.) The right hon. baronet concluded by proposing "Prosperity to the Artists' General Benevolent Institution." The tout hada/ been responded to, Colonel RAWDON proposed the health of Sir Robert Peel, who, he said, had long been distinduished as a liberal patron of the fine arts. Sir ROBERT PEEL, in returning thanks, said he felt deeply gratified by the my hied manner I. which the company had responded to the toast. He might not, per. heps, belong to the same political party as many of those who were present, but the ground of art was a neutral ground, and he had the greatest pleasure in meeting in convivial society the professors and the friends of art. The CHAIRMAN then proposed "Sir Martin Archer She. and the Royal Academy." Many complaints had been made, said the right hon. baronet, against the Royal Academy, but In his opinion they were without foundation ; and he was glad to have this opportunity of obstrviog that he thought the public ware under deep obligations to the Royal Academy for the manner in which it promoted the fine arts in this country. He wm quite tore that the Royal Academy would extend its limits whaler" each a step could be taken with advantage to the oomanity, for his belief was that the directors of that halation had no other ob ject in view than that of promoting the interacts of art. He had witmemed the exhibitions of the Academy for the last 40 years, and he might safely say, without in stituting any invidious comparisons, that each year increased his opinion as to the continued progress of art in this country. He was happy to find that the royal patronage had been so liberally extended to the fine arts, and he had every reason to say that Queen Vittoria would never withdraw that patronage . He hoped, there for*, that the Royal Academy wostM remain united, and that its 'members would continue to exert themselves for the general benefit of the profession. (Cheers.) "The Royal Commissioners for Promoting the Fine Arts," " The British Institution and all the other societies established for the promotion of the fins arts," and other toasts were succeedvity proposed sad warmly responded to, and in the course of the evades sameriptions w►re an. 'minced to a large amount, including a donation from the chairman of SOL MORE WRECKB ON THE GOODWIN SANDS.—Dnr ing the wick a vary painful interest has prevailed along the Kentish coast, in emorqueam of another shocking ca tastrophe on the Goodwin Saado—the wreck of three ves sels in one night, which was attended with lementable loss of human life. The following brief details have been fur nished by correspondents at Deal and Ramsgate:—ln the course of Monday night a gale of wind sprang up, and continued with oerable fore, the whole of the follow ing day. Shortly before 4 o'clock en the Tueseley after noon, one of the hovelling boats, named the Buffalo, be longing to Ramsgate, or rather one of the crew, perceived a large vessel on the outside bank of the Goodwin, with masts gone, and lashed by a sweeping sea from the north ward. With all haste the boat bore down to the vicinity of the wreck, and found the crew in a perilous position, their boats having been dashed to pieces, end no possible chance of escape. Those belonging to the hovelling boat endeavoured to effect a sommanication with the wreck, but were unable to accomplish it for a length of time, on account of the heavy sea running.

MANCHESTER, MAT 11.—The match at cricket be tween Eleven of All England and Fifteen of the Manchester Club, with three given (including Lillywhite), mentioned in the Express of Saturday, terminated this evening, after three days' play. At the clues it became an interesting and exceedingly exciting contest. The All England Eleven as before stated, scored 152 in their tint innings, on Thursday. On Friday, the Manchester side went in, and scored 126. The AU England Eleven then commenced their second innings, and left off for the evening with fl wickets down and a score of only 30. To-day they resumed, and though showers of rain several times interrupted the play, Felix brought up the scare gallantly by 34 runs. Lilly white, who wee bowling, then made him an offer of a wager that he should not store another run from a leg ball, wnielt was accepted. Playing cautiously, the next ball went up from the bat high in air, was caught by Sherman, and the veteran bowler triumphed. By noon they had scored 95, when the last wicket went down, and no lees than six of the players having been " caught" cut in this innings. The Manchester Club went in at 3 o'clock, with a score of 122 to get before they could win, and only four hours to do it in —for the wickets were to be drawn at seven. Earle, junior, scored 25, and G. F. Cooke 24. Armitage also handled hie bat well, and scored 18 runs. AU this was effected despite the hest bowling of W , sden and Clark ; and at haltpast six the Masehester had made a tie, with eight wickets to go down. The odds were very great, but the AU England Eleven made an extraordinary effort. They had two courses open to stave off a defeat—either to fetch the eight wickets down without a run, or to keep the game alive for half-ar.- hour. The two next wickets went down almost immediately, without a run. Another—another—and another followed, and it only wanted • quarter to seven. Fire wickets had gene down out of the eight, without a run, and time was creeping on. The interest of the many thousands who had assembled to witness the play—At Saturday is a half-holiday in Manchester—was intense. At this moment P. Birch took the last relinquished bat, and two of Wisden's balls mania big mischief so decidedly aa to baulk him of • run from either, the game began to look very serious. The third ball, however, flew off the bat so as barely to admit of the required run, and the game terminated amidst great cheering and congratulation of both sides. AGRICULTURAL STRIKE.—It has been stated that there had been a strike among the agricultural labourers in the parish of Coignes, Notts. It is now at an and, the masters hminr agreed to give them 10s. per week as hereto fore.

LEEDS.—Tho various branches of trade in Leeds are now in a more healthy and vigorous state than for years past. The working dames are, on the whole, well em ployed, the poor rates ariediminishing, and even the building trade, which has for a long time been prostrated, is begin mimini to rsvive.

Then is, perhaps, no more satisfactory feature in the pictures of this exhibition than the small d i stance between aims and their attainment, be they humble or lofty; there is scarcely a picture of which the execution is not fally equal to, if not beyond the original conception, and one =- not bat be streak by the great manipulative facility, in singular contrast with the limited range of intellectual power. The source of this artistic, debility is not to be sought in a lack of invention, but in the squeamish horror of anything savouring of sublimity, which distinguishes the present day. The effort of the artist is evidently not to soar, bat to be" umble," like Urials Hap, not to raise himself up, but to lot himself down. The first question a painter saks himself from the outset to the conolosion of his wink is—will it engrave well P Will it please delicate females, or look wall in AA ante-room P If the subject be maudlin or eenti santal, the answer is always satisfactory. We can not inveigh too strongly on this growing tendency, so evident in the Munn of the art of mezzotint and vignette engraving. It warps the most brilliant and the most independent powers. Nowhere is this more evident than in the works of Mr. E. Landseer. With him it is evinced as much by the ar rangement of the light and shade, as by the breadth of the manes and the ;tricky lights, which " tells" so well in the process of engraving. In his" Dialogue at Waterloo," however, these slips of the brash are scarcely traceable, aid are lost in the poetry of the conception. It is divided into two groups; on the right, the Marchioness of DJuro, on horseback, is listening to the Duke of Wellington's recital of the battle; whilst a recumbent chaseeur on the left mounts to his buxom wife his humbler ex ploits in the chase, of which there is ample evidence in the dead game which lies strewn around him ; the union of these two otherwise distinct pictures is skilfully effected by the interposition of the little peasant girl offering the printed tale of the battle to its hero. The expressions of the faces, the texture of the dresses, that of the animals, and the little glimpses of historical landscape, serve to invest this large UMW' with • vivid interest, which is equalled by that with which eager groups gather round it. Nos. 281 and 333, " Sheep lost in • Snowdrift," and " Good Doggie," are admirable, though different specimens of animated nature. From him who is his own poet as well as painter, we turn to those leis independent in their subjects. Shakespeare has furnished forth more subjects even than usual. Mr. Frost, in selecting a passage from one of his sonnets, however, is. not a whit the less Spenserian, in the quaint grouping of his nymphs. A rougher canvass than his habitual one has not been so favourable to his delicate tints; the beauty of the heads is, however, still the same—perhaps, too much so. The most graceful ballet becomes faded after a time. Mr. Frost should invent a new pas de quatre. There is more freshness in his " An dromeda ; " the swarthy Triton is also a fine bit of colouring. Tne " Susannah and the elders," by Mr. Patten, evidently comes from the poses plastiques, not that there is anything plastic in her demeanour. The colouring is also false gird in effective, which is strange from the contrary qualities of some 'is which bear the same signature. It is un enable to unveil the human frame in order to show a deficiency of anatomical skill. This truism leads us t 3 Mr. Eastlake's " Good Samaritan," which shows skilful draughtsmanship and great rnorbidezza in the modelling:; the expression of the principal figure is fine, but the attitude is that given at a shilling an hour. The tone is warm and harmonious, and in a lighter key than that opposite to it, No. 169, " The Escape of the Carrara family," of which every detail is worked with easy elaboration, otters a pleasant combination of lines. There is a plagiarism of the composition by Mr. Hook, who also apes Paul Vermese in his harmony with wonderful skill and ability. Tue " Dream of Venice," with little or no plot, still charms by its simple freshness; the carnations are exquisitely worked out; but we have seldom such total abnega tion of individuality and such perfect mimickry of the Lombard's colouring. Precisely the reverie is the case with Mr. Hart, whose " Rejoicing of the Law " is a happy return to those gorgeous pieces of religious ceremony by which he won his reputation. The rich rcmaneeque architecture, whether in its beautiful grey tones or its graceful contour, aids materially in bringing out in relief the brilliant apparel of the high priests; in this respect it resale that scheme of composition of which Rembrandt made such noble use, and whom ,Mr. Hart also vies with in the invaluable Israelitish types of visage and character. Not less good is the study of " Arnolfo di Lapo," though there may be a little clumsiness in the delineation of the hands. In a quieter vein is the little interior of " Sir Thomas Gresham's Kitchen, at Mayfield "—indeed there seems quite a furore in favour of the culinary re gions among our artists. Mr. C. Landseer has also descended from his chivalric) atmosphere to that of "Still life," to depict the very same low apartment at Mayfield, though with a more sober light, and from a different point of view. His " Girl in a Hop Garden" (No. 399),' has all the dclicacT of handling of Greoze t without Tue wicked ness ; it is a simple, unpretentious little bit of nature, and consequently far beyond the calculated and cold composition which is denominated " Asop," and which albeit deserves praise for the way the deformity of this sage is shadowed in the distortion of his sardonic countenance, without the offensive protrusion of his deformed person. We must return from this seeming digression to the little cuisines of Mr. 'Web ster, who deserves to be proclaimed chef in this de partment of the art, for the clearness of his touch and the Ostado-like fidelity with which he delineates every utensil, from pots and pans to pipkins and po tatoes. Mr. Phillip, who last year won applause as a humourist, as well as a clever painter, gives another proof that wit is akin to pathos, in No. 641 " Baptism in Scotland." Nothing can be more simple than the arrangement of the scene, or the attitude of those who gather round the min ister ; but its beauty is chiefly owing to the effect of light which is made to radiate from the centre, and spread a halo on those around. In striking con trast to th;s is is the unwholesome affectation of Mr. Redgrave's " Oriselds."—a lady's toilet is proverbially a solemn sort of affair, but it can hardly be as labo rious as Mr. Redgrave mr%es it : whilst one maid is painfully raking the heroine's hair, another is trickling the contents of a watering-pot on her toes. The truth is that Mr. Redgrave was bum a land- scapist, witness No. 634, "The Woods planted by, Evelyn," a beautiful glimpse of a forest glade, a mix ture of solemn gloom broken by a san-gleam, evidently a faithful transcript of nature, which points out Mr. Redgrave's true position, which should be between Lee and Creswick. THE SUICIDE AT WANDOWORTH.-0a Saturday evening Mr. W. Carter concluded an inquiry at the Spread Hagle Hotel and Tavern, High-street, Wandsworth, relative to the death of • gentleman at that time ~known, who committed suicide there on Wednesday night, under drum stage. e detailed in the Express of Fr;day last. The name of the deceased, it appeared, was William Baker, and he was a native of Kings Ms. He had been employed as storekeeper at the Clarence Foundry in Liverpool ; bat, in consequence of a dissolution of partnership in the coaoern, he had been thrownout of employment, and, being of • de sponding turn of mind, it was conjectured that be had com muned suicide under the pressure of fear that he could not obtain another engagement. The jury were unanimously 01 a wa opinion that the devised was of unsound mind when be mitted the act, and returned their verdict accordingly.

PORTIMOVTR, MAT 12.—The Comet, stoma vessel, fitting for surveying service at this port, is to survey the Torque Sends, near Margate, where the ill-fated steamer Adelaide was lately lost. The Birkenhead, steam frigate, sailed on Friday evening for the Channel Islands, to embark troops for Cork. The Sealarlc, brig, paid off on Friday, is to be imme diately got ready for eammiesion, and to take the mail in June to the coast of Africa. The cause why the Thaint.lets, new steam frigate, was not able to finish her trial on Friday, was that the connecting rod broke. In reference to this failure the Hanle Tekgraph of yesterday says:—" Admire' Berkeley, with Captai n Sr B \Valker, are coming dawn on Monday, to inspect principally the Ajax and Dauntless; and, we presume, to inquire why the Lily sloop-sf war was leaky on her arrival at Lisbon, though recently thorooghly repaired in this dockyard ; and why on • trial of the Dauntless'' machinery yesterday she war put hors-de-combat from the breaking of some material portion of it, owing either to tad metal or neglectful work manship. We must have courts-martial e , tablialted for the civil as well as the military denartment of the sersice, aced It must be made as eustamsry to break • shipwright or an engi neer for neglect, and hazarding the lives of a crew, as it is to dismire a captain for getting his ship aground."

Mr. Crowder, who, with Mr. Huddlestons, appczred for the prosecution, stated that this was an indictmen; inst:tuttd by the board of guardians of the West Luidouraim against the defendant for an aggravated assault, of which he was alleged to be guilty, upon his illegitimate child, a boy of only six years of age. It was to him (Mr. Crowder) a painful duty to prosecute suck a charge against a person situated as was the defendant, who was a barrister resident in Gray'r inn. The guardians of the union in question had, from the following cucumatances, become connected with the matter. On the 13th of February lest • child wu observed by one of the City policemen crying very bitterly in Skinner -street, and appearing more than usually wretched. The policeman interrogated a. boy EA to who he was, and whence he had come, bat not getting very distinct answers frrm him, he carried him to the station-house, where he was wooled. It was whilst being washed that the poor child was dis covered to have been most cruelly beaten. On his neck was a mark, which went about half-way round, showing that a cord had been tied round it, and strongly premed against it. 1113 back wu wholly covered with bruises, some of which were blue, some black, some yellow, and others green, as If they had been inflicted at diflarent times, although it was passible that they had all been inflicted at the same time. SAfte of them were in a state of suppuration, and others in the process of healing. How and by whom these wounds had been inflicted, it would be for the jury to determine, and to aid them in com ing to a decision, the surgeon who examined the boy would be called, who would detail to them the condition in which he found the child. Not only was the child's back Ince pted in a shocking manner, but the bruises also overspread his arms and legs. By direction of the Alderman, before whom the child was brought, he bad been conveyed to the West London Workhouse.
