Arran two days' trial, STEPHEN FORWARD, alias SOUTHEY, has been found guilty of the murder of his wife and child, and sentenced to death. There was no disputing the evidence of the fact that the prisoner had most deliberately committed the mur ders, for he had been found, a moment after the discharge of the five shots of the revolver with which the murder was perpetrated, quietly sitting on the sofa and removing a false beard and mous tache, which he had worn as a disguise on entering the house, and which he afterwards attempted to destroy when the police sergeant found them in his pockets, together with the revolver, still hot, and several pistol balls and cartridges and copper caps. The only defence attempted to be set up by the prisoner, or on his behalf, was that of insanity; but this was disproved to the satisfaction of the jury by the prisoner's own conduct and demeanour before and immediately after the murder, at the moment of his arrest, and subsequently in prison. His behaviour in court, if it was madness, was a madness with a very ugly method in it. It was calculated to embarrass the trial by absurd irregularities and interruptions, but was not per sistent enough to prevent the trial from pursuing its course and the jury from arriving at a verdict. The prisoner first objected on principle to being indicted in the name of Fonwasn, which he de clared he had changed eight years ago for that of SOUTHEY ; be objected "conscientiously" to being defended by counsel ; he objected to the whole jury, and desired to be tried by a special jury ; he interrupted the principal witnesses once or twice with cries and ejaculations ; but thanks to the firmness of the Judge he forgot the part he should have played, and behaved for the most part like a man in his senses, and perfectly respon sible, as there is no reason to doubt he was and is. It was not disputed that he was the man who took the three children overnight to the inn in Holborn, where they were found dead next morning, and that on the day of the discovery of the murdered children he had gone down to Ramsgate, found out his wife and child, whom he had not seen for eight years, and murdered them in the house of their friend. The murdered children were the sons of a married woman with whom he had lived for years, and who it appears had gone to Australia when be could no longer support her. They had been given up to him by their reputed father, to be handed over to their mother. What motive the wretched man could have for murdering his wife and child, whom he had not seen for eight years, and who was only anxious to be rid of him altogether, did not and could not appear. As Mr. POL►AD, the counsel for the prosecution, re marked, it was often impossible to fathom the motive of a murder. That the prisoner, a man of loose and ragged condition, with a smattering of undigested and desultory notions on the ini quitous condition of "society," had embodied these notions in a life of turbid profligacy and selfish vice, crowned with the murder of three little children of a shameless woman, and with the murder of his own deserted wife and child, was not sufficient to persuade twelve calm and rational Englishmen that he was a fit subject for theorists and practitioners in lunacy to take under their protection. They contented themselves with finding a sensational scoundrel "guilty," without any extenuating cir cumstances ; and for doing an obvious duty in this simple and straightforward way, we think the Maidstone jury deserves the thanks of the public. FORWARD'S practical mode of objecting to a state of society which was not good enough for him to live in will find its last and most proper vindi cation on the gallows. MODERN Greece is labouring, not unsuccessfully, to break the spell and dissolve the charm that surrounded and secluded from vulgar desecration names and places once held and tenanted byheroism, genius, and wisdom. King GEORGE has now reigned two years, and his confidential adviser, who one would think must at least have served him in as disinterested, if not in as Greek a manner as any statesman of Athens, has returned home a sadder and a wiser man. The youthful Sovereign whom in their wisdom the Pro tecting Powers recommended to the Hellenes, and presented with a third of the annual interest of their loan, finds himself face to face with a native Assembly and a constant succession of native administrators, who are too assiduously occupied in ousting one another to attend to such vulgar and trivial matters as security of life and property, payment of debts, road-making, and police. In their horror of institutions from which the monarchical principle is absent, the Protecting Powers could not allow this poor, indebted, impoverished, uncul tivated, depopulated little country to dispense with the dignified apparatus of royalty, with a royal palace, and a royal court, a royal army and a royal navy, a royal civil list, a royal Council of State, and • royal Cabinet, responsible to • National Assembly. It was not permissible that this interesting and remarkable people should revert to the municipal institutions which they had enjoyed under the barbarous domination of the Turks, or that they should be content with a simpler and cheaper form of go►ern ment than • centralized monarchy. A federal re public on the Swiss pattern would have been too dangerous an example to establish.

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS. The Times enters into a fresh examination of the plans of the American Minister of Fiolllol l / 2 founded oa Mr. !Mul lah's report to Congress, on the oondition of the Treasury. It assumes that if any fight arises A will take place over the question of the national debt, pre-eminently the qua- Con whether the present exemption of Federal bonds from State and municipal taxation shall be extended to bonds which may hereafter be issued. The Times observes that the existing bondholders of the United States Treasury are not only preserved from especial badman, but are endowed with especial privileges. They are exempted from contributing to an expenditure which they hare a vole° in authorising. This last consideration alone ought to be sufficient HI deter mine Causes not to extend the existing exemption, and, supported as it in by other arguments, ought to overpower Mr. !Mullah's reasoning. Regretting that there should still remain the germs of angry discussion between the limited State. and this country, and attributing a desire for peace to the govern. meet and the people of both countries, the Daily News discusses again the question of arbitration, quoting the re commendation of the Timor to Chili to accept the good officals of France and England in its dispute with Spain, and asking why the government of England should not follow the example of the government at Madrid. The Timm strongly condemns the conduct of Sir Charles Darling and the Victoria Assembly. In these days of depu , talons, can nobody be found to ask the government, not hew long this revolutionary Ante of things is to go on, but how long the revolution is to be headed by a Governor whose function is worse than useless if his first duty be sot to inculcate, both by precept and example, obedience to the law as declared by its authorised expounders! If the contest is carried much further it must inevitably assume the form of a coafliot with the mother country. If thews oommunitise are to remain parts of the British empire they must not believe that they can obtain all*. gismos to the Queen while setting up the authority of a single branch of the legislature in defiance of the erdi minces which hare been passed in her name. The Star sets great value upon the letters of Mr. Fitz gerald, late Minister of Native Affairs in New Zealand, to Mr. Adderley, and draws from them the conclusion that the cause which has produoed so much misery in Jamaica and New Zealand is the treatment of the 'colonist as a child, keeping from him the power of self.government, which is his due. The Times claims the complete change of system which it is said has just taken place in the supply of bread and butter at Christchurch as another illustration of the powerful influence of the press. Having given the dean great credit for so promptly aiding in the remedy of what was amiss, the Tones urges a wider appli cation of this little piece of economical reform, expressing a belief that a dinner might be supplied for less than two. thirds of the amount which is now charged in many of the colleges. To poet men to whom every pound is sa object this is of great importance. There is no reason to believe that undergraduates would find any advantage in entering at the University without satiating at a college, if the collages really took pains to give their members their board at mo• dente prices. If the colleges will feed and teach men at cost price, and let them lodge themselves' in the town as cheaply as they pies.., the Times cannot conceive bow the expense of education could be further lessened by any pm aible machinery.

From Alexandria to Gibraltar the biassilia ex perienced north-easterly gales, with heavy sea.

The Manilla made towards her, found that she was in a sinking state, and received signals that the crew wished to abandon her. The Mensal& remained by the schooner for eight hours. As a tremendous sea was r unning, and there being no prospect of the weather moderating, the second officer and four men ultimately volunteered their services, manned one of the Manilla's boats, and rescued the crew, who were landed at Gibraltar.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (Tll.lB DAY.) ERZ BRITISH ARMY LED THE JAMAICA MASSACRES. Commenting upon a correspondence which has appeared in its columns between Captain Chesney and Profaner Goldwin Smith, the Daily News sees in both writers an earnest desire to maintains or the army that delicate sense of humanity which the profssor sees roues to think some recent forms of service ha% e tended to impair. All the code of the profession of arms is that of honour and chivalry, and the more merciful system of modern warfare is but the natural development of the sentiment of honour and tenderness which springs up when war becomes • profession. Those soldiers who axe most respected by their brethren are those who have striven most to mitigate the horrors of war. By the rules of his !service • soldier is forbidden to address the public on matters of current interest, and from their silence we have no right to hold that the officers and soldiers of the British army would approve such lots as are reported to us from Jamaica. Captain Ford and Colonel Fyfe were civilian sal diets, though Colonel Robb', who commended the 6th Regiment, presents a picture of justice which it is impos sible to think his brother officers would admire. If it should appear that the regular troops in Jamaica perldesi paten in the hideous barbarities, we shall be bound to believe that their deeds will be execrated by their com rades even more fervently than by civilians. They will prove the truth urged by Professor Goldwin Smith. that the services in which we employ our troops in the colonies tend to rouse the savage passions of humanity, and to lower them to the level of those with whom they have to fight. If these things are not execrated by soldiers ; if it is not shown that the army is still instinct with the tenderness of honour which will not strike an unresisting foe, end the greatness of compassion which will not inflict one jot of needless suffering, then indeed the character of the army is changed, and • gulf as wide lies between its honour of to-day and that which its history has vindicated, as will lie between its feelings and those of the com munity from which it springs. The Herald says that the radical sympathisers with the negro have terrified • weak and tottering government into sending out • commission of inquiry to Jamaica, and compelled Lord Russell, to • certain extent, to prejudge the cue. It is evident that the government is reedy to do almost anything to purchase the support of the radical faction in parliament. The Herald asks for some meetings and addresses of sympathy on behalf of the whites, and congratulates the men of the conservative borough of Cambridge, and the undergraduates who at tended the meeting eonvened in that town on Tuesday, on the good example they have set in " putting an extin guisher on the clamour of the black fiction." THU NURDZIEM SOUTHEY. The Post questions the policy of acoaspting, as is often done, in MIN of suicide the set itself as presump tive evidence of at least a temporary ►berration of rump. It would be dangerous indeed if japes were to adopt the same view when the murderer is charged not with slaying himself, but persona to whom he is attached by every tie of relationship and love. Of lase years there has been a growing tendency on the pact of the medical profession to *steed the meaning of the term insanity. A man, we are told, may be afflicted with moral insanity, which, without manifesting itself by any of the ordinary symptoms of mania, would nevertheless exonerate the subject of it from legal responsibility for his actg. The verdict returned yesterday at Maidstone furnishes a satisfactory proof that the novel doctrine has not yet found favour with the mesa of the com munity. The medical evidence given in support of Southey's insanity was simply puerile, and the pretended madness of the prisoner in the dock was so transparent a sham that at times Southey himself appeared to be ashamed of it. The Telegraph characterises the madness of a man who commits assassination by wholesale, without passion and without motive, as the "medusas of bedtime," which is totally distinct from the organic disease of the brain that must exist in every case to maks a man insane. The die- Unction is one between moral and mental madness ; but the confusion slips in because we fasten the moral wive on to the mind, and the mind again on to the brain, and so get a chain of causation in which it puzzles as to point out the particular link at which misfortune ends and responsibility begins. No shadow of any such puzzle can exist in the instance of Forwood, or Southey, se he prefers to be called. Common geese suffices to pro nounce that mainees with such method in it mast answer to the law under the name of murder. The only possible alternative would be to alopt the Socratic idea altogether, and treat the most villainous criminals as that which indeed they are in one sense—the most nog :ramble of mankind. Read Southey as a half-educated creature, eaten up with self.coeceit, utterly selfish, vulgar at heart, lazy, with a fixed idea that bombast is dignity and that fine words con. statute morality, sad you have the portrait with which every incident of his career previous to the murders bar- I monism. The Star sees no reason whatever to impeach the verdict sf the jury. The murderer was insane, as every murderer is insane, at the moment of his deed, and no more. It is one of the many dangerous and demoralising effects of our system of capital punishment that it has rendered ex mashie and almost necessary the modern theory of insanity —the theory that every wicked person who commits great crime is mad, and therefore irresponsible. Who shall say how far the conduct of a man like Forwood is governed by the conviction that if he only commits crimes dark enough tt will be an easy task for him to make the very blackness of his guilt his best means of securing im punity LORD STANLEY AND THE CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE. The Tipics has never been able exactly to learn what a chamber of commerce is. There may sometimes be con- siderable advantage in such a body, but the improvements in the theory as well as the practice of our commerce, and the simplificatioo of oar law, owe little to them—nay, they ate not unfrequently found enlisted on the side of prejudice and exclusiveness. At Liverpool, on Wednesday, the chairman, Mr. Rathbone, made joist the mistake which might be expected, in supposing that the government can do a great deal so cure pauperimm, so mach of which is the result of the inherent improvidence and folly of mankind. Lord Stanley would make thine chambers more authoritatively the exponents of the trade interests of the particular localities, but he does wisely to pause before recommending that they should be i ntrusted with judicial functions. Their constitution most obviously be entirely altered before this could be done.

REFOB.3I OF CONVOCATION.—MEETINO OF THE LONDON Cr.sitcr.—Yesterday afternoon • meeting of the clergy of the erchdenmery of Loadon, convened in come queue° of a requisition presented to the archdeacon, was held in the great hall of Sioe College, for the purpose of considering the present state of the representation of the clergy in convocation. It may be stated, in explanation of the reason for calling the meeting, that at the late election of proctors for the metropolitan diocese much dissatisfaction was expressed with the mode of choosing representatives for convocatioo, and generally with the constitution of that body. On the urgent solicitation of the clergy present, the archdeacon promised that, on the receipt of a requisition duly signed, be would call • meeting of hie clergy to con sider the whole question, and would preside at it. The meeting of yesterday was the result ; the Archdeacon of London presided. The meeting having been addressed by the chairman, the Rev. J. Jackson, vicar of 34 Sepulchre'r moved the following resolution :—" That in the opinion of the clergy of this archdeaconry it is desirable to call general atttention to the state of the represeetatioa and mode of election of the perochial clergy in the Lower House of ConvocatMe." This was seconded by the Rev. Michael Gibbs, M.A., vicar of Christ Church, Nevgate-street, and spoken to by the Rev. F. S.

After Term Nil Prim sittinp at GuildhalL—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) HILL V. This extraordinary assn we resumed this morning for the sixth time. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Dr. Tristram, and Mr. Mode were counsel for the plaintiff ; Kerslake, Q.C., and Mr. Watkin Williams for the defendant. At the sitting of the court Mr. Coleridge, who has been for some days suffering from Meer sod scarcely able to speak, applied to hie lordship not to call upon him to day-to the jury. His learned friend (Mr. Konlake) who wee also suffering from • similar attack, would be equally for to have the further hearing of the as., post- Citfor a few days. and after some 0011,1111,60011 e° the learned judge, the counsel, and the jury, it was arranged that the evidence for the defame should be coaoluded, and the wretches of amusel and the summing up be adjourned till Friday. the 12th of Jemmy, the second day of Hilary tern. His lordship re quested the jary not to dhow the matter in the meantime, but wait until they bad heard the leered counsel sad he had pointed out to them the haw they were to try. Mr. Crosaman, solicitor, was called, and deposed to his tugup the evidence for the 00-reepoodent, Mr. Wood. riris present daring the heariag_of the divorce snit. I think I rid to Mr. Fines,' in Werminsterhall after the ease was overbill I should llke to see him about the separa tion suit. He mid very well. I called on him. He was out, and he nailed on me. As the medical witnesses wanted to leave, my first object war to get opulent to read the evidence given by them on the divorce suit sad the rpm. tins suit. Mr. Finney said he thought there would sot be mach objection to it, but he would consider it. I think it wee my articled clerk who called on Mr. Finney and got his consent. Distractions were given to missal to make the best re they could of it, for the purpose of having the evidence read. The ease was on the paper daily from the 20th. end on the 27th it was heard, but no decree was pronouseed. It was afterwards pronounced on the day an application was made by the plaintiff for a new trial. A new petition for divorce wee filed about May or June. As Mr. Hill bad sot paid the costa of the first suit. I apOied for a stay of Prweei v on that ground, aid also that Mrs. Hill had not bass es t r il X, and that the charges were substantially the same as in the Divorce Court. On the proceedings for Mn. Hill and Mr. Wood, there is about 2001. due to me for costa, but with regard to Mr. Wood's exits, I have bad more from him than the c r ro cs i z umul e to. *d r y Dr. Tristram—l was introduced to Mr. Wood by a aria' ail friend. Mr. Wood informed me that a suit of a judicial separation had been com menced by Mrs. Hill. I knew that Mr. Bannister waa then sating as her solicitor. Mr. Wood wired me to see Mr. Bannister, and he asked me to get an order to change solictors, and act for himself ; I law Mr. Bannister in reference to Mr. Wood solely. In January, 1861, I became NM Hill's altar on on both snit& I engaged separate wire' for Mr. Wood god Mrs. Hill, and gave them instructious. I think Mr. Macaulay, who was for the respondent, called all the whereon. On taxing my oats I charged Mr. Hill with all the whew= ; 1301. was paid into roan as security for the costa. I charged Mr. Hill with everything I could. I struggled hard to get the separation snit on first. When the suit came oa Mrs. Hill was most anxious not to be called. I told her it was impossible not to call her, but that she should be erred as little as possible. No applica tion was made for an adjournment of the cue when she war called. lam stiU Mr. Wood's attorney. I have taken no part in getting up this ease. By t he jury —l dont% think Mr. Wood underwent a medial examination. It never occurred to me to have him examined. Mr. Wood's rider, was briefed in the separa tion snit. but be wea not called. The Lord Chief Justice—The object of the court was to prevent going into the case as much as parable. Re-examined—Mr. Wood was ready to give evidence, and if the ear had gone on hostilely he would have been called. Mr. Hill was most anxious to say as little as parable. Mrs. Hill has been living abroad ; at first I objected to her com ing here as having nothing to do with the action, but when I saw the averment in the declaratioa I wrote to her to come over and give evidence in support of her own character. Mr. Finney did not re her or know what evidence she would give until she was in the witness-box. Mr. Edward Godsell (plaintiff's uncle) was called and corroborated Mr. Fancy's evidence relative to the inter. view that took place in his office after the trial. After the trial the plaintiff suggested to me to write to Mr. Finney to have a cousultation is to what had beret be done. I accordingly wrote to Mr. Huey appointing the following day for the meeting. His uncle and Mr. Finney strongly imprered upon the plaintiff it would be better to with draw. He objected for two or three minutes, but he ulti mately agreed to sign a paper Mr. Finney was to draw up, authorising him so to do ; the document wee then drawn up. Crow-examined—l thought it was better to withdraw for the honour of the family, Mr. Finney having said that if the suit proceeded evidence must be called. By the Jury—There was a feeling of disgust entertained by the whole of the family. They were much annoyed, and with than teary I attended the meeting. By the Judge—l know nothing of the details of the case, and I was only present in Westminster Hall about half an boor, when one of the witnesses was under examination. Some letters from the wife before January, 1860, were put in. This we the case for the defendant. Mrs. Hill, the plaintiff's mother, woe then called to eon tradict her daughter.in-law's statement relative to the time when the plaintiff gave her the "Physiology of Marriage." My son went to Wales in March, and during hie argue I found the book in a drawer in kis room. I put it sway ; after his return from Wales I gave it to him. Orossoxemined—l have been here during the last two days of the trial, and I have had conversations with my son. I read the tithe-page and the resume of the book. My eon first went to Wales on the 30th December. I doe's recollect when he retureed. He went again on the 24th March, sod returned about the 29th. He left my_ house on the 7th or Bth May for London, arid thence for Wales. _ By the Lord Chief Justice—He was home from March until May. I um positive I found the book during his absence. He asked me for it on his return in March. The Lord Chief Justice—lf she is right blithe date, Mrs. Hill must have mistaken the time, and had the book in May and Dot in March. The further hearing of the car was then adjourned until - 2 Friday the 12th of January next. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sitting. at Nisi Pries in London.—(Before Lord Chief Justine Erie and a Special Jury.) ICHISELOW e, WICHOLSON.—BIIZACH Of PROM= OF simmers& The plaintiff in this case was Charlotte Madeline Rum below, and the defendant was Henry Whalley Nichol eon. The action was to recover damages for • breach of promise of marriage and the damages *ere laid at 5,0001. The defendant, by his pleas, denied the promise ; sod also alleged that • reasonable time had not elapsed for the performance ofathe promise ; that the plaintiff was not ready and willing to marry ; and further, that the plaintiff bad absolutely exonerated and discharged the defendant from the performance of his promise. Mr. D. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Douglas Brown, appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Ms. Chas. Pollock, for the defendant. Mr. D. Keane, io his opening speech, said that the plain tiff was •daughter of a surgeon, who bad died some years ago, and the defendant was a subaltern officer in one of her Majesty's regiments of infantry. They had been friends from their childhood. and the feeling between them from friendship ripened into love ; but the defendant made no explicit avowal of his passion until be went to India in 1862, when be wrote to the plaintiff, ob tained her love, and afterwards the sanction of her mamma to their union. The correspondence continued in the wannest terms for three years and • half, and indeed until the detain:bud came home on leave of absence, and as the plaintiff believed to be married, but a few days afterwards he wrote stating that the plaintiff had released him from his engagement, nut. on the other hand, there was • latter from the plaintiff to him, and which seemed to have crossed his. and in which she reproached hue with the " cruel words " which he had used on their last isterview, and in the warmest terms expressed her continued love for him, and refused to con sent to allow hint to abandon the sapiremsat which he had mitered into. Subsequently there was aa laterview, and on that occasion it was said that the defendant obtaine d some paper from the plaintiff which he contended amounted to • release, but when they saw it and heard the eircom dances under which it bad boon obtained they would judge whether it amounted to anything. Bat be (the learned counsel) should contend that previous to this paper being obtained, by what mesas they knew not, from • highopirded girl, the defendant had already broken hie promise, and if this were so, then clearly the defendant's paper was worth nothing. Mrs. Lary Rambelow, the plaintiff's mother, maid—The plaintiff was 19 the 4th of last Jane. My daughter and the plaintiff were acquainted from childhood.
