.------ _ THE COMMITT EE ON STO THE L ARMY BEFORE SEBAPO -.A. On the re-aseembling of the committee yesterday, Mr. Roebeck in the chair, and the usual members present, Major.Geueral Banana was the first witness crannied — $e deposed that he had *thing to find fault with is the popply of provinces at Scutari, sad that the Vaasa by steamer, is his opinion, was remarkably well condobied. When they arrived at Yarns tin si mmart "g o , teams, eta they mete toleeobly well supplied with pro. Thant' there. Tte smog* of his (the Major's) divides was , 1,500 strong when he left England; but unfortunately, they landed, and encamped upon a spot which was produc tive of much sickness, sad the natives espreseed their un- prise at the eireounstancei of their having so encamped there, as it was well known to be unhealthy.

Be was of Minion that the weight of the knapsack, bleats*,an s ad greatcoat combined, was altogether too heavyontreaeat. The men converted their blankets into a species of keep meek. The commissariat marched with them, and they were pleatifully supplied with provident. Soon after the action at Alma the men were taloa on rd to be attended to sad cued for by the midmost men ,and s the last nth was dews within twelve hours alter the battle. There were sitt medical seen is attendance on his brigade, and the medial service was performed as well as it could be.

Tee troops saf fared more from hard work than saything else, sad were supplied four times a week with fresh meat and blush up to the time of his departure from the Crimea, bat they were went of vegetables sad tabu*. They did not anticipate at first teat they would have to waiter it in the Crises, and the winter Clothing bad not arrived when he left. Ha brigade was sot in want of food, though it was fa went of fuel ; and in consequaes of the men being overworked in the treadles sad on pieket, they could not eat fuel for themselves. By Sir J. Paklagton—The men had no teats ea first arriving, bat they obtained them about fourteen days after. Oars noun why the knapsacks were not taken was that the eombined weight of them with the great coats was too much for the nes, together with asunissitiou, to earry. The troops did nut get their knapsacks again until late in Octo ber. The men landed with a change of everything; bat the officers had none for four weeks. The men carried • 'hangs of linen, and an extra pen of boots. They did net suffer hum want of cleanliness or comfort, but some of the diem did. By Mr. Layard—Tke camp wee involved is mast he wasatly night and morning. The sanitary enemehlem if a comp depended very much on the distance of the meetesses the from smaller, and so far the chance of dhow was diminished. Generally speaking, ao doctor's egad* was takes oa the subject of pitching camps. Typhus sad theism broke out while they were encamped, and thou= Weft Me weak to carry their haversacks, but they did mettbegi awake read. Could not say whether the Freath treasperes were capable of taking more than the English; and difi net see that many of the English troops were leaded in lthesh boats. The ambulances were very isseausigat. The weft were shoved in upon a sort of dellf. where the sperm ee confined that they Mold sot move, and the process was very painful. Sums the men were carried upon stretchers. The *eh supplied were very fair, but they might ha* less improved upon. Re bad sat on • committee of the Roam of Commons in 1853, on the subject of tents for the army. This was before the reviews that took pia*, at Chelthess; but he had net seen any of the tents in tee army smith se those that had been reoommeaded by the sessmalles. Me believed that they bad many of the old *Me used in the Peninsula, and some old linen tent. also. see* net say howimata, many carts would have beim required to carry the teats of the entire army. In his brigade it would have taken 25 carts to carry the tents. The Duke of Cambridge had one cart allowed him, end Sir Colin Campbell amilhim. self one between them. Looking at all the circumstasiessof their pcoitios, there was not sufficient transport for the army. They had no bands of music, but only drummers and fifers, though they were not allowed to p lay. Coffee was preferred to either cocoa or tea. The cocoa was thought nasty, and when the tea became wet it was spoilt, and Commissary Filder in cineequenoedirected that the supply should be entirely of coffee. What's was supplied with ries at Balaklava, bat not in the Crimes, and be was very much satisfied with his eissualsearist, and the efficient way in which they oondui•ted badness. Be did not know the comparative prim between fresh and salt meat, as that was a matter of contract between the government and' certain persons. Did not attribute the illness of the army as mach to the over supply of salt meat as to exposure and work in the trenches. The officers did not miry a greater weight than the men: The peculiar cap introduced into the Gouda a year ago, and abolished, had been found very useful in the Crimes. The flap in front and babied was' found a useful protection. Witness did not think the new cap so convenient as the old, or that the health of the troops depended on head gear Thought that the sanitary con dition of the camp before Sebutopul was quite satisfactory when he left it. Ho did not see any dead horses lying about. The usual clothing used every year fur the brigade had arrived at Constantinopleoand the only difference between *tater sad summer clothing consisted in the white trousers. The ordinary clething would not be sufficient for wintering fa the Climes, and he had not heard of any @piths' arrange ment having been made for supplying the troops with winter clothing. Attributed the mortality chiefly to the exposing of the troops under canvass, and to hard work on pickets, as the men after they came off frequently had no rest. There were constant alarms and alerts requiring them to be on the eu4 vivo. They bad no blankets, nothing to lie apes but what they could get. The hospital tents were as geed as they could be, but no tents were sufficient for a sickmee ; and considering Selektive was so near at hand, perhaps the sick were not so well cared for as they might have been. When they first landed in the Crimea he understood that the total of the British army was 23.000 strong, and the French army 20,000 stroag. There was great inconvenience in consequence of the state of the roads, and he could not sunny see with what materials they were to be mended.' The only thing that would have answered was either • plank road or a railway, but there was no lobate to spare to get planks. The French, with fewer men, built more re doubts than the British, but the French line was not soma/I' exteuded u the British, who had no reserve. It wu a rext lanais that no soldier should go a mile beyond the camp, as there was a risk of being cut down by the Quack.. The further examination of General Bentiack's evidence was here adjourned, to enable him to attend the Levee. Mr. Owen, connected with the engineering department of the Resolute, a sailing vessel, auxiliary to the Golden Fleece, was next examined, and des .ribut the state of the traaspoet vessels at Balaklava. The coast about Balaklava was iron-bound and belted with high cliffs, and the water was 14 fathoms even alongside. There was no shelving *set. The corgo of the Resolute was all ammunition, and the vowel was ordered out of the harbour, with others carry lag similar cargoes, by Captain Christie, and they anchored outside in thirty-five fathoms. Probably, had any accident happened to th, es ammunition ships, it might have endangered the safety of the other vessels. They had not a safe anchorage, and Capt. Christie was fre quatly remonstrated with. There were 2b transports. The harbour would have held 50.

It was much :eon successful than the previous concert, not wO:astanding the guinea disappointment caused by ' the inability of Mr. Sims Reeves (from the united effects of indisposition and a domestic affliction) to go through the labours of the evening. He sang, with effort, through the Labium, bat, in tha sewed piece, the Stabat Mater of Rossini, was re placed by Mr. Herbert.. Mrs. Sims Reeves, ales. was unable to appear, and her place was supplied by . Madams Weiss. The Lob g eeattg, which (as our musical readers are aware) is a work of a singular form, being an instru mental symphony blended with a vocal cantata, was extremely well performed, is far as, the instrumental portion was concerned; the orchestra being very good, and most ably conducted by Herr Molique. But the indisposition of Mr. Reeves had the unavoid able effect of marring the vocal part. The Stave Mater wu, on the whole, effectively around. Mr. Herbert. very properly and modestly omitted the arduous tenor solo, " Cujus Animam," conscious that he could not adequately supply the place of Mr. Sims Reeves, who was to have sung it. But he did ample justice to the fine opening quartet and the ether concerted pieces. Madame Weiss esag ad mirably. We have scarcely ever heard the duet for two soprano voices more beautifully performed than it was by her and Miss Lan:elks, a young lady who boo made great progress since we last heard her. Mr. Weiss gave much effect to the bus part, especially du grand air "Pro peccatis," the most remarkable merreas in the work. In this piece, as in the former, the band acquitted themselves well, and did justice te Rossini's brilliant instrumentation. The choruses were sting with laudable correctness, but were some what weak. The room was well filled; and the per formances seemed to give general satisfaction. %HALL. IIL CON VERSAZIONII AT APO' The Muter and Wardens of the Society of Apothe caries invited a number of distinguished scientific men, lest evening, to a microscopical coorersasione, at Apothecaries - hall. The rooms were very well filled ; and among those present we noticed Professor Faraday, Dr. Carpenter, Dr. Graham, Mr. James Yates, Mr. Appold, and many eminent medical men. The tables is the hall were well supplied with numbers of microscopes by the - best makers, which were adjusted for the display of interesting physiological objects, consisting of the minute, parts of the organic suite tuns of animals and vegetables. Among the specimens of most iaterest were some slieee of the mineral commonly known as bogbead coral," respecting the nature of which chemists are at presentat fault, and which recently gave rise to • long trial depending on the question whether it is coral or not. Those who contend it is not coral deny its vegetable structure, and maintain that it is only a slate strongly impregnated with hydrocarbon. The (act is that it yields an abundant supply of the best kind of gas, and it is in consequence is great request by gas manufacturers. It burns in a candle with a beau tiful dame, but the mks, after distillation, contains but little earbon. In some of the specimens shown there was distinctly the appearance of organic structure, which would bring it within the domain of king coal. In the ante-room there was exhibited a curious piece of mechanign recently invented and actually constructed by Mr. Peters, the banker, for making microscopic copies of writing. The pencil written with was attached at the bottom of a verticali compound lever, which could be so adjusted that the upper end moved through may oartenthousandth part of the specie moved through by the pencil. The microscopic copy was scratched on glue with a diamond, and it was so minute as to require a powerful microscope to make it visible. The Lord's Prayer wee by this means written on a space not larger then a pia -hale, yet the writing was very clear. Many of the Viatolll were 'Bowed to write their names, and the accuracy of the iestrament was thus tested by the exact copies it made of the signaUires in little. EXP.IBITION OF PRIZE PAINTINGS OF THE GLASGOW ART-UNION, 121, PALL. MALL. We will not theme= 1M *icy of art•nnions ; tba legislature sesetiess seek ospedisats for promoting the growth and spread of a knowledge of art, so there an end. Bat slam thus institutions are to exist among us, the better they are beset for the purpose for which they are ostensibly galled into existence, the more deserving will they be of encouragement. The Glasgow Art-Union has one feature in its constitution which in theory sertainly offers a sure guarantee of the great end and aim of sack institutions being ensured. The choice of the " prise poise.

This a:ransomed would seem to preclude the possibility of very it folios works being foisted upon the fortunate ticket holders. To judge, however, from the selection made in this instance we opine that the " Committee of Ma &moment" have more love for than knowledge of the deli. li/late and responsible task ►llotted to them. There is by no means evident:son these walls that the right men have been in 'the right plan, and we will venture to remind the committee that this is gaits as important a consideration in matters of art as in all other concerns which affect the honour and welfare of a nation. We feel confident that if the Glurow Art-Uaioe ie to progress, a much better judgment in the l obar, of the prises must be made in future.

There is something vary attractive in Mr. B. J.

EXHIBITION OF THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. Yesterday, a private view was given at the Crystal Palace of a topographical model of Sebastopol and its en virons, on a sufficiently large scale to convey to the visitor tolerably accurate notions of the nature of the siege ground and the relative positions of the contending forces. The space represented is 17 miles from Cape Chersonesus north. I wards, by 13 miles from east to west, sad therefore includes Beside's, the extensive valley of the Tchernaya, and all I the ground immediately around Sebastopol which is covered by the camp and fortifications of the contending forces. The scale adopted is eight inches to a mile. The eleva tions and depressions have been managed apparently with great cars, which was especially necessary on account of the very w character of the locality. The modeller, Mr. R. T Wilde, has taken for hie guide the most recent Admiralty charts, and the published result of the surveys of French engineers. In such a case the very object to be secured, namely, the conveying a good general idea to ordinary obscure, renders it difficult, if not impossible, to adhere to mathematical accuracy, and , justifies some liaises on the part of the artist. For example, wishing to represent the shrubs which, it will be remembered, abound in the vicinity of Sebastopol, the modeller has dotted the ground here and there with what stand very well for shrubs, but are at the same time upwards of sixty feet high, if measured strictly by a comparison with the hills. Some of the bills being nearly 700 feet high, it was only by exa ggeration that these dwarf plants, which have not filled an unimportant part in the history of the siege, could be visible. In tracing briefly the leading features of this model, it seems natural for an Englishman to commence at . Balaklava. In front, and a little to the north, of that now famous port, is seen a semicircle of entrenchments, which are defended on one side by the Highland Brigade, and cm the other by a body of undoes. On the outside of this work are the four small redoubts which were taken from the Turks on the morning of the 25th of October ; and from these stretches towards the Bay of Inkermann—the innermost part of the Sebastopol inlet of the sea—the valley of the Tchernaya, with the river winding through its centre. Returning to Balaklava, one traces thence that wretched road which was the only channel of communion tion for the supply of the army in the dreary depths of the Crimean winter. Having left a little to the right the miserable remains of our gallant cavalry, we at length arrive at a range of hills, several hundred feet high, which introdues us to the plateau that forms the scene of the actualsiege. A considerable distance from the summit, and be • southward direction, are Lerd Raglan's headquarters; and between these and the French divisions are those of General Canrobert. Then come the forces of the allies—the British on the right, looking down upon the valley of the Taber nay a ; and spin their trenches sod works joining the right attack, the most conspicuous opposing fortifications of the, enemy being the redan and toe Malakoff; the French attack, on the other band, being chiefly in front of the Garden battery arid the Flagstaff battery. One is particularly reminded of the disasters of the British and the numerical superiority of the French by observing, amidst the mingled colours, the points where the former have been obliged to yield part of their ground to their more fortunate allies. Sebastopol itself is very clearly represented, but no attempt is made to fir the positions of the Russian ships, which are so located as to be ander the protection of one or other of the enemy's kin.. The field of Inkerensnu, where was so, signally rolled beak** wave of Hessian aggression and auto cratic pride, is Meld in the form of two valleys or raviaeer with a hill of eseddirrable height intervening. The most oar spicuous object ea the aide opposite Sebastopol is Fort Ste yarns, 'fortification which is 2,000 feet in diameter, and frees which, it is gaud, were Sebastopol taken, the allies might be terribly ensiled ; and hence the rumour that the bombardment and assault from the south are to be MOW panied with sinenhamons operations having for their ob ject the dislodgment etas enemy on the north. The whole model certainly meson great interest ; and at a time when the thoughts of the lab& civilised world are watered on the weal represented,ead when the genial sun of opening spring I is causing an almost daily increase in the number of visit ors, I it is a most appropriate addition to the attractions of the building. ROYAL GALLERY OF ILLIIITHATION.—Hie Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, with their Royal High nesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princes Mary, steeled by Baron Hasesbeck, honoured the Diorama illastrating the Bents of the War with a visit on Wednes day evening. The Earl of Cardigan paid a second visit to the Gallery es Wedaesday afternoon.

Mr. Laws stated that one of the great difficulties in the acoustical disposal of the sewage of the metropolis NU its enormous bulk. Two hundred million tons of fluid passed through the sewers annually, containing solid maitier amounting to 200,000 tons. This east produce can only he disposed of by a mud sale all over the country. But Dace the cost of carriage steps in, and interferes to prevent the essoess of the messures that have been taken to manufastese the sewage into manure. A low-priced manure was not ne cessarily a cheap one. The question is not what is the price per ton of a manure, but in what manner an the farmer bring to his lands the constituents which ho requires. Mr. Lewes then explained the astute of the experiments by whisk be ascertained which of the various constituents of ear agricultural plants it le meat important to supply by manures. He grew a particular crop for a series of years with different manurial mixtures, in some cases supplying the various constituents separately, and in others a combi. l modes of two or more of them. The tabulated results et these experiments showed some remarkable facts. In aka yeses, ley sang farm-yard manure, the produce of an nuns rose hem 22 bushels to 41. By using minerals in 1844, ea I muscle sad ammonia in 1854, the produce rose from bash* to 44 bushels; but the quantity of straw proclaimed I by theme of farm-yard manure was only 1,643 lbs., while that give. by the application of minerals and ammonia was 5,803 lbs. Many other facts of the same nature were quoted. The oonelusion to which he came was, that while ammonia is by far the most important and valuable constituent in an artificial manure, phosphoric acid is the second in this respect. Another important fact, determined partly by these experiments, is, that when the chemical composition of a maestro is known, there is no difficulty whatever in fixing the pries at which it will eventually sell, as compared with other mimes. tie then adverted to the fact that the human sunsuit must be considered as the main item in any calculatios as to the value of London MIMI, and gave a minute analysis of this substance. The whets weight he estimated at 61,1 Set tons. Ws sestets"' about 10,768 tone of assacais, sad whisk, applied to corn land, would yield en imsessed per due of 000,000 quarten. This is about ens.ffided of the whets eseenenption of London. But to predece this is mews, the sewage must be spread over 400,020 acres ; and as the ammonia is unfortunately distributed through as essessess bulk of water, the cost of carriage and sprinted= weskit be laminae. lie did not thick, therefore, that the smge was applicable to cereals; but he entered into mien ladies to show that it might be profitably applied le pin ♦ vitality of gram land, equal only to 20,000 ewes, meld abut& the whole sewage of the metropolis.

Mr. Sydney, Mr. Chadwick, Mr. Morse, Mr. F. 0. Ward, and Mr. Meek!, addressed the meeting, and brought forward a vast eitantity of statistical information. Cafortunately no two of the speakers agreed, a point alluded to facetiously by the Oakum is his summing up.

Already he bad been three months in coded', and if he pronounced a judgment he had l ine power to let him out of prison. "Am I," asked the CONNOittiolltri " to send this man back to prison I" Kr. Nichols, for the opposing creditor, slid if his opinion was asked, he should certainly say " Yee." Considering the manner in which the creditors had been treated, he should be left to the creditors, wo could let him out. If the Commissioner would consult t h he practice of the Chief Osomissioner he would find that although illness was to be regretted, yet when a cane was proved, the court 'gra liound set upon it. Mr. Commiadoner Murphy said he should not take the judgment of say one else. He did not require the opinion dear other in matters of common sense. He thought the imprisonment the insolvent had already suffered, coupled with the certificate that its extension would lead to fatal, 'malts, was sufficient to justify him in discharging the in solvent. Punishment was not a matter of vengeance to be meshed to the estreme. The Court proceeded to give jadzment on the several points urged against the insolvent seriatim. There was no fraud in the inception of the debts to the orposiog creditor, nor in the manner of obtaining their goods. The only *Mince oa the part of the insolvent was that, when he bad a large sum in his possession, he gave it to his wife, who handed it to his brother, knowing, as the insolvent must have done, that he would be arrested, and be obliged to apply to the court. No doubt he should have come to this court, and had his property distributed among his creditors. There was, however, no fraud in the sue, and as this court was not to be used for the pumas of vengeance, and con sidering the imprisonment already suffered, and the medical certificate, he felt satisfied in his conscience, although his conduct might be questioned, and he should order him to be discharged. Discharged accordingly. lit IN RODIN! CONIES. This was a protection cue. The insolvent, a lineadraper at Stepney, was opposed by Mr. Reed for Messrs. Tomkina. Mr. Sargood supported. In accounting for property, the insolvent alleged that he bad paid 261. to an artist named Powell, for money lent. Powell was celled, and denied that he ever had MI. to lead. He ',membered signing a book (produced) when he was tipsy. The insolvent persisted in having had the money, and repaying it, and, on the other hand, Powell was positive that he never had the money. A witness was called, who proved that the insolvent did not know Powell until after the period he had stated he knew him. The court held that the evidence of the witness kicked the beam, and that he mast believe Powell. Petition dismissed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT. MARCH 7. GROWS SID& CHA,IOI OP MURDER. ZASOPOSE/P4paisaci, 49, was indicted for the wilful murder of his wife, Anne Hempstead. Mr. T. Chambers end Mr. HUM conducted the prosecu mon ; Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Woollett were counsel for the prisoner. Hr. Chambers, in opening the case to the jury, described it as being one of a very melancholy character, and he said that when the jury had heard the evidence he should lay before them, he feared they would be compelled to come to the conclusion that the unhappy deceased had met her death at the hands of the prisoner ; and the only question they would hare to decide was—whether, at the time the act was committed, the prisoner was in a state of mind to render him responsible for his actions. The learned counsel then sated the facts of thecae*, and it appeared from them that the prisoner and his wife lived at Halstead, and that they were both engaged in a silk factory at that place, and resided in the town with their family, which consisted of five children, four of whom were grown up, and the youngest was three years of age. On the night of the 3rd of November all the family went to bed at the usual time, three of the children occupying • bed room direct) y under the one in which the prisoner and his wife slept. Nothing particular appeared to have occurred until about four o'clock on the following morning, when one of the sons heard the prisoner go out of his bed-room and proceed down stairs, and he inquired of him what it was o'clock. sad the reply he gave was that it wanted ten miantes to six, the real hour being four. The prisoner was heard to go down a second time shortly afterwards, and then leave the house. When the family got up at • later hour, upon their going into the bed-room of the prisoner a dreadful sight presented itself—their unhappy mother being found lying upon the bed quite dead, with her skull almost smashed to pieces, and covered with wounds. It was ascer tained that a hammer, which wee usually hanging in the kitchen, had been taken away, end there was no doubt that it was with that instrument that the deadly wounds had been inflicted, and it was subsequently found in the garden of a neighbour, covered with blood. A few hours after the dreadful deed bad been committed the prisoner was found at a place about ten miles from Halstead ; and it appeared that he inquired for the parish constable, and upon finding him and being asked what he wanted vf him, he said that he bad murdered his wife that morning, and he wished to give himself into eustody. He subse quently said that he had been in custody before, but that upon one occasion his wife had obtained a peace war rant against him, but he did not go to gaol, and he added that be thought it would have been a very good Job for him if he had gone to gaol for a month. He continued talking in a very incoherent manner, and said be did not know how he cane to do it, that he loved his wife, and that she was as good looking a young woman as any in Halstead. Some questions it appeared were put to the prisoner relating to the crime, and he then said he thought he had told them quite enough—he had admitted he was a murderer, and that was sufficient. As the prisoner was being conveyed to gaol he again admitted that he had killed his wife, and said, "Now she is dead, and I have only four months to live, and I must make the best use of my.tiene." As they approached the gaol at Springfield, the prisoner pointed to it and said, " I shall n go out of that again." And when the con stable replied, " Yes, you will," his answer was, " What, when Igo to execution ? " All these fact. were proved in evidence, but on cross examination it appeared that upon two occasions the prisoner had attempted to destroy himself by hanging; that he was in the habit of wandering about all night; that he laboured under several delusions with regard to his wife, and it appeared that the impression among all who knew him was that he was • iperson of wound Wad. /dr. Hawkins made a very earnest and effective appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and he said his learned friend had rightly coajectured that the defence be was in structed to lay before them was that the prisoner was not in a state of mind such as to render him responsible for the act he had committed. He remarked upon the absence of anything like a reasonable motive for the ;commission c f such a crime; and he urged that the very circumstances under which the deed was committed, and the conduct of the prisoner immediately afterwards, were sufficient in them selves to raise &doubt of the prisoner's sanity, and he said that when they bad heard the additional evidence he should produce he entertained a confident opinion they would return a verdict that would have the effect of pre venting the sacrifice of the life of the prisoner and would at the same time protect the public from all chance of further violence frem him. A number of witnesses were then examined, whose evi dence tended to show that the mind of the prisoner bad been affected for a considerable time before the transaction, and that all the people about him considered be was of unsound mind. It also appeared that the governor and surgeon of the gaol where he had been soaked were of the same opinion, and they proved that during his stay in the prison he had nearly destroyed himself by starvation. The learned Judge having summed up the whole case, the jury after a short deliberation returned a verdict of Not Usilty, on the pound of insanity, and the prisoner was ordered to be detained during her liejerity's pleasure. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Wnicmurrra, MAR= 7, semi nu. sums' CZOWDZI/4 This manias _Garr Baba and Henry Vile, who were yesterday senvithmi burclariously entering the house of Mies Jean Nam, at Bitterne, were brought up for sentence. His Loraldp, after commenting upon the enormity of the offesa, and the evidence that both of them were well knows se king the wotet of chencters, sentenced them to be Itheepeeted for life. awe Oft' 26, a married woman, was indicted under the aseseer's Uitsisition for the murder of her male infant child, at the parish of Bt. Maurice, Winchester, on the 26th of Deeentine last. It award that the prisoner was unable to suckle her child, end that from the fourth day after its birth, on the 23rd of November, she wee very low, and said she wished it was a girl ; the' child wasted for the last fortnight. The prisoner's mother-in-law lived in the same house, sad took charge of it on Christmas-duty. It was given some gin that Green, because it cried so much. The mother had it during the night, sad next morning the father, when he came lime so dinner, found the altUd laid in bed, and on examination found it dead. He celled some women, and they found that some blood was flowing from the child's mouth. Next day, after the child had been examined by • , the mother threw herself is r hysterias, and mid, r :not be quiet ; I have murdered my baby." In answer to questions from her stepmother, the prisoner said • was with her, end she rammed the flannel into Its ninth with • spoon." The examination of the surgeon paved the thesbild bed sok lungs, sad that distention of the stomach from food and being laid is • eold bed, u that was, was shunt sufficient to cause death. His opinion was, that the condition of her breast,, added to a natural rube eility, was sufficient to produce disease of the brain end nervous system.

His Lordship said, he did not think that the evidence was sufficient to come:toe legal conviction that the meter cubed the death of her child, end the Jury Arms:Wool her. This concluded the business of the aunts, and their lord ships deputed for Salisbury. THE POLICE COU.RTS. MANSION-HOUSE. ChartsaChristian Mother was brought before Alderman Hooter, in the custody of Daniel Forrester, the officer, upon a charge of ezteisive embezzlement. Mr. Base, from the (Aces of Messrs. Bush and Mullens, attended for the prosecution, and stated that the prisoner, having been sent by his employer to collect the amount of certain bills on Monday last, disappeared on that du, after having received the several sums, but was on Tuesday taken into custody at Dover, where be was about to steam for France, with almost all the pr;perty exchanged for French and Belgian .conies ik 114 possession. Alderman Hunter asked whether, In so important a I ease, the .'r•iisoner was represented by counsel, or other legal authority? The prisoner—l am not. I have no person to defend me. Mr. George Gibson Nicholls, partner in the firm of Gib son, Nicholls, and Nicholl-, of King William-street, nota ries, said the prisoner was a clerk in the house till he absconded, on the sth instant. It was his city to receive the moneys upon bills entrusted to him to present fur pay ment. The various bills produced are accepted, payable at certain bankers; and, according to an understanding be tween banking-houses, many of the bills were paid at the Union Bask of London. It was part of his duty to present them at the Union Bank for payment, and to account to me, or some authorised clerk in my absence, for the money on the same day. It would be his duty to enter the parti , ciders in a boo k, called the "City walk book," which I have here. There is an entry in that honk of the bills being given out, but there is no entry of the money being re ceived. The writing of the bills is in the prisoner's hand writing. He absconded on the same day, and never re turned from his walk; and I took steps for hie apprehen sion. The bills are deposited overnight in the bill-case, and each clerk takes out the bills that relate to his walk in the morning for presentation. Those produced formed part of the securities the prisoner would have to take out, aril are for following sums:-361. be., 271.75., 611. 7e. 9d., 9271. 5e , 251. lls. Bd., 591. 18,. bd. 451., end 1191. Ba., amounting together to the sum of 1,3621. 2s. 10d. 4:derman Hunter wished to know the whole amount of the property embezzled. Mr Ball—lt amounts to between 3,0001. and 4,0001. As the embezzlement has been so recent we are not in poems- Mon of all the particulari. Alderman Hunter—Have the English monies been ex changed for foreign in many instances? Daniel Forrester—l apprehend the English notes Dave been all exchanged fur foreign notes and gold. Alderman Hunter—Prisoner, have you any question to put to the witness who has been just examined? The Prisoner—l have nothing to say further than that it coos undenteod that perhaps the matter might be com promised. Alderman Hunter—We know nothing of compromises here. It is better for you, prisoner, to be cautious as to what you say. You have stated that you have no legal advirer here. I would advise you not to say anything till you ere properly advised. Mr. Charles Robinson cashier at the Union Bank of London, in ninon-et:eat, said—On the sth of this month the prisoner brought to me at the banking house eight bias of exchange, amounting together to the sum of 1,3021.25. 10d., and presented them for payment. We have entries of all of them in our books, which we can produce at the oectfeary time. I gave him a Bank of England note for 1,0091., No. 28,639, dated 14th August, 1854, and one for 3001.,N0.03390, dated llthlJanuar7, and 21. 2s. 10d. in cash. The note produced lox 1,0001. is that which I gave to the prisoner. Mr. Frederick Pearson, clerk in the issue department of the Bank of England, said—On the bar fastest I gave Ichange for the 1,0001. no• e produced. The prisoner is the person who brought the note. I gave him six 3001. notes and one 2001. note as change for that and another 1,0001. note which he brought with him at the same time. The six notes for 3001. each were numbered 1,999 and 2,000, and from 14,101 to 4,104. all dated January 11, and the 2001. note is numbered 4,377, and dated 10th January. The whole of the money received by the prisoner for the bills presented amounted, according to the present witness, to 3,2701, with which, and with other aecvrities, deducting, 1 of course, the rate of exchange, he was just upon the point lof neap ng to the continent, when the band of public jostles ;axed the whole of the plunder out of his carpet-bag, and consigned him to the custody of the gaoler. The prisoner was remanded for some days, and will be committed for trial upon the production of witnesses as to some necessary formalities to be undergone for the protec tion of the property upon the delivery of the verdict at the Central Criminal Court. The Lord Mayor requested that the press would acknow ledge the receipt of 6s. from a working carman, as a fine on him for the lose of a tea chest, containing articles intended for the troops in the Crimea. CLERKENWELL. William Quinlan, a clerk, and Richard Haulborit resid ing at 1, Marlborough-court, Carnaby-street, were charged, the former for stealing some silver plate, and the latter with aiding and advising the robbery, and disposing of the property. Mr. William Red stone, of 20, Doughty-street, Meeklen burgh-square, said a gravy spoon was stolen from my hewn, and subsequently other silver articles. My suspicion fell on Quinlan, who is my brother-in-law. On Saturday my wife received a lett( r, in which he penitently admitted that he had been induced to steal the plate by a man whom he was in the habit of meeting in a coffeehouse. When next be ceded 1 gave him into custody. Mr. Conic—How is the other prisoner connected with the robbery ? Sergeant Tinimee—_ _ to Mr. Hurlstone. Mr. Carrie—That is not evidence against him; was any one present ? Sergeant Smith—l heard what was said when Mr. Hurl atoms had asked him about the plate. He said, " What is the man at Potter's Coffeehouse ?" The prisoner replied, " His name is Richard Houlbore," and I admitted to him that I took the gravy spoon, and I also told him that there was more plate in the same place. He said, "If you can get it I will dispose of it." We went to Doughty-street on Mon. day week, and I brought the plate out, aid we walked a little way, when Houlbern took it from me. We then went to the neighbourhood of the Seven-dials, where he told one to remain. Ina quarter of an hour he came back, end gave me 21. 7 r., saying that was the produce of the robbery. I gave him back a sovereign as his share, and we waked into Drury-lane, where he bought a pair of Blucher boots, Houlborn—That is all a made-up story of Quinlan's. I am a respectable master tradesman, and hold a good situa tion at the Lyceum Theatre, where property amounting to thousands is always under my hands; and is it then to be supposed that I would incite to robbery like this ? It will do me a serious injury. Mr. Carrie—As I said before, there is no evidence against' you, and I will &whinge you, and remand the other prisoner. Mr. Hailstone—As our only object is to remove Quinlan from amongst some bad associates with whom he has be. some connected, I shall communicate with his father, who le at present in the country, and see If we cannot manage to send him out of the country. The prisoner, who said nothing in answer to the charge, was removed. A short time since a man named Otrford, applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt for relief, stating that his wife had died through want of means to provide her with the usual medical atten dance consequent on her being confined. He further stated that he had applied at the Clerkenwell workhouse, and that a person named Bennett, who acted as relieving officer, had told him, amongst other harsh expreseious, that as s poor man he had no right to have children for others to keep. The report of the eases in the morning papers caused much excitement in the parish, and several meetings were held, which eventually compelled the guardians of the poor to institute an inquiry into the above, and several other charges, previously made against Bennett. The result of the investigation was considered so unsatisfactory, that the parishioners petititioned the Poor-law Commissioners who directed one of their inspectors to make another inquiry. Unable to meet this, Bennett had resigned his situation, but it is understood, with a strong recommendation to a better and more lucrative berth. The general feeling, however, is that his resignation will not" burke" the inquiry ordered by the commissioners. an admirioF made by Clainbui LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—The half yearly meeting of the ehareholden of this railway was held yesterday, at Liverpool; B.
