By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting . certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND' LIFE.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. BURY ST. EDMUNDS. The election of a member for this borough to sup ply the vacancy occasioned by the elevation of Earl Jermyn to the Marquisate of Bristol, took place yesterday in the Guildhall. The Mayor (Mr. G. P. Clay) presided as returning officer. Mr. H. J. OAKES proposed Lord A. Hervey as a fit and proper person to represent the borough ; Mr. C. C. SMITH seconded the nomination ; and no other candidate being proposed,-the Mayor declared the noble lord duly elected. Lord A. HERVEY, in returning thanks, said he was opposed to organic changes in the constitu tion. Those who wished to introduce violent and fundamental changes in . our institutions might profit by the example of a neighbouring country, where the germs of constitutional govern ment were established and enjoyed in former years. But if he held extreme.opinions, if he wished to, see the, monarchy upset and a republic established, he should rejoice to see the Conservative party reso lutely refusing every reasonable concession and change. The true policy of the Conservative party was; to grant every reform which could reasonably . be demanded, to endeavour to extend the trade and commerce of the country, and to promote the educa tion of the lower orders, and the general' prosperity of all classes, of the people. The first and most im portant question upon which he should be called to vote would be • a measure of Parliamentary Reform. He- had stated the difficulty which he felt in ac knowledging the leadership of any individual in the present .divided state of the House of Commons; but he had no hesitation in declaring that he did not mean to enlist himself as one of the followers of Mr. Bright. With respect. to the Government mea sure of reform, he could not but 'entertain veryr grave objections to ,portions of it. He could not help thinking that it was unwise to destroy the distinction which had hitherto existed between the county and borough franchise. He ,should have preferred leaving the county franchise a little higher than it was proposed to make' it—say £2O —yard reducing the borough franchise: He thought also it was most unwise to propose to disfranche county voters living within the precincts of a borough. • But while expressing himself in opposi tion, to these details of the measure he felt bound to may that he regretted the sort of combination which he fancied he saw existing to throw the bill, out 'on its second reading. The bill contained many pro visions very similar to those of Lord J. Russell undier Loild Aberdeen's Government; it contained also clauses to which no reasonable man would en tertain any great objection ; and he (Lord A. Her vey-) could see no reason which ought to prevent the house from entering upon a fair discussion of the measure and going into committee upon it. He had. been asked in the course of his canvass whether he was in favour of the ballot, and with regard to that question he thought that in every department of the state publicity and responsibility were the very essence of our constitution, and that to this we owed probably much of our greatness and national prosperity. He could not, therefore, con sent to depart from the principle of publicity in elections of members of Parliament, for he did not believe that the ballot would have the effect which its supporters anticipated. The noble lord, having expressed his intention to endeavour to discharge his duties diligently and conscientiously, proposed a vote of thanks to the mayor, which was carried by acclamation, and the proceedings terminated. that if the ballot were adopted their occupation .would be gone. He had heard parties whom he had canvassed say to him—" Mr. Brown, you. know my heart is you, but my bread is at stake, and I 'must vote against you." (Hear, and groans.) After come further. remarks Mr. Brown concluded amidst cheers and groans. Sir E. LEOHMERE essayed to 'address the meet ing, but the crowd prevented his being heard. The MAYOR then took the show of hands, and declared it to be in favour of Mr. Brown. A poll was then demanded on behalf of Mr. Lygon, and appointed for Tuesday. As the two parties were leaving the hustings an attack was made upon Mr. Lygon by the " roughs" on the other side, who, but for the prompt rescue afforded by the police, would.! have got him down and maltreated him. The town is in an excited state. THE GOVE.RNMENT .i?EFO.RM: BILL, ST. PANCRASL ,' • The adjourned public meeting of the:inhabitantk of St. Pancras was held last evening in he large hall of the vestry, King's-road, Camden-town, to consider the bill introduced by her; ministers for the reform of the representaWipf the people in Parliament. D. E. CAMERON, Esq., churchwarden; ptesided, i and was supported by the Right Hon. Sir B: Hall, Bart., and Edwin James, Esq., the representatives' of the borough, who were most enthusiastically received... Mr. Wirld, M.E., was alsO present. The platform was thronged by the leading reformers in the locality. Lady Hall occupied a seat in the capacious gallery, irhich, as well as the Vestry-hall, wv crowded to excess. Mr. PLA.w, the vestry clerk, having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN briefly opened the proceedings. Mr. T. Ross, a member of the vestry, rose 'to move the first resolution, and denounced the so called Tory Reform Bill as a great juggle. (Herz, hear.) Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli had thought they were going to humbug the people, but tb.ey had already found out their mistake. They had stated that working men might be qualified to vote and could so qualify by placing £6O in the savings bank. (Oh, oh.) He (Mr. Ross) had some cape rience as a journeyman mechanic, and always 'round it quite difficult enough to purchase the little shoes without putting by £OO to qualify him for a.. vote. They wanted measures, not men, and he kit that he was surrounded bymany who could more elearly place before them the real sentiments of the: 'work ing classes. Mr. Boss concluded by moving the 'following resolution.:—" That this meeting having carefully examined.' the miscalled Reform Bill in troduced by her Majesty's Government, is of opinion that it is unsatisfactory and delusive, as, instead of extending, it narrows the franchise, destroys the most independent and ancient of our freehold votes, leaves untouched the small and corrupt nomination boroughs, and is un just, as it fails to recognise the rights of the industrious classes, and as such de 'Serves our most strenuous opposition." Mr. BAINBRIDG E seconded the resolution, de nouncing the proposed Government scheme, as it, did not provide for the prevention of intimidation and bribery, triennial parliaments, and a great ex- ' tension of the franchise. (Hear, hear.) For these and other reasons lie felt that the people should resist it to the utmost. They had asked for bread, and had received a stone—they had demanded fish, and had received, a serpent. (Hear, -hear.) The crowded meeting 7 before him, notwithstanding the inclement weather, was the best and most tangible denial to the assertion of a daily paper—that the people did not require reform. (Oh, oh.) The resolution was put from the chair,, and car ried amidst loud applause. ip Mr. F. M. HUDSON then read the following reso lution That ;any measure of reform not having for its fundamental principles shortening the dura tion of Parliament, the destruction of rotten boroughs, the re-distribution of seats; a great ex tension of the suffrage in counties and boroughs, ' with . the protection of the voter by means of the ballot, is unworthy of, and shall:not receive the support, and demands the 'strenuous opposition of all true reformers!' It was onlyflast year that the Government agreed to abolish the' iwpperty qua lification, but immediately afterwards they legalised. election expenses; so that, however talented a man might be, he was almost sure to be beaten by any Mr. Long Purse. (Hear.) For these and other reasons he urged upon them to give their strongest opposition to the futile proposition of the Derby Government ; nothing short of an extension of the franchise, the protection of the ballot, by which alone the working man could expect to get that to which he was so justly entitled, should satisfy them. Mr. JONES, in seconding the motion, denounced the statement lately put forth by a daily journal that the working man would prefer an admission to the gallery of the Adelphi than possess the county franchise. (Hear, hear.‘, He denounced this as a base libel upon the people of this country. (Hear.) Mr. ROBINSON proposed that the resohition should be araended . ny the insertion of a clause in favour of inauhriod suffrage. Mr. Cup;')EN seconded the resolution as amended, which wr,s put and carried. Tho %text resolution was attempted to be moved by se. oral members of the vestry amidst loud cries of ". Who shut the hall ?" in allusion to the refusal 01 the vestry hall for a meeting of Mr. James' sup r porters at the late contest. Order having been restored. Mr. GOODWIN came to the rescue, and proposed the following resolution :—" That the foregoing resolutions be embodied in the petition now pre paring for the House of Commons, and that the same be signed by the chairman on behalf of this meeting, and entrusted to the borough members for presentation." Mr. PARKER seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. Sir B. HALL rose amidst applause to address the meeting, and said, on a recent occasion, in conse quence of the then paucity of attendance in that hall, and the intention of the Government to introduce a Reform Bill. he had suggested an adjournment ; the meeting had taken the course suggested, and he was present to state to them publicly his opinion. But previous to doing so he wished to allude to circum stances of a personal character, which, under ordi nary circumstances, he would not feel called upon to say one word. The right hon. gentleman then proceeded to refer to the circumstances attending the retirement of Lord Ebrington from the repre sentation of the borough, to show the groundless ness of the charge of his having attempted in any way to influence the election of his ( Lord Ebring ton's) successor. The right hon. baronet then went on to say that in his opinion the so-called Reform Bill introduced by Government would never reach its third reading. (Hear, hear.) The more truth ful title of the bill would be, to disfranchise some 100,000 voters and to enfranchise certain places in England and Wales. At the same time no one could deny that there was one feature in the bill worthy the support of every true reformer, namely, the extension of the county franchise ; but they were not indebted to the Government for that, as it was proposed long ago by his hon. friend Mr. Locke King. The effect of the clause referred to in the bill would be that .of 500,000 voters now on the county register 100,000 would be struck off. (Hear, hear.) Another effect of this bill would be to place the whole of the boroughs in the hands of the landed interest. What plea, had the Govern ment for disfranchising men because they worked in dockyards ? It would be said they were in the employ of men placed above them by Government ; I their being so he would then say, give them the ballot. (Cheers.) The savings bank qualification clause was too preposterous to be seriously enter tained. They might judge of its working by one specimen. In the savings bank of the borough of Newport there were ninety-nine £6O depositors ; of this number 40 were females, 39 already possessed votes, 19 who had votes in the bor oug h— ma ki ng in all, 98 ; so that here was a clear gain of one vote. (Cheers and laughter.) After thirty years' experi ence, he believed that the first basis of a true re form bill would consist in the disfranchisement of close nomination boroughs, and the extension of the franchise in both counties and boroughs, and above all the repeal of the obnoxious and ambiguous rate-paying clause. (Hear, hear.) Thirty years ago he gave great offence by inserting on his banner these three words, " Vote by ballot ;" in any future reform bill he trusted to see this principle intro duced. (Loud applause.) The right hon. baronet, who was frequently applauded, concluded by stating that it was his intention to give every opposition in his power to the bill before the house, which he firmly believed would be thrown out upon its second reading. (Hear, hear.) It was one of the most miserable measures of reform that could be devised by any Government. When it met the fate he prognosticated he sincerely hoped that the Go- Verement would take the course they threatened, and go to the country,. He, for one, on the occasion would fearlessly make his appearance at the top of I Portland-place, feeling, as he did, that he had done his duty faithfully to the constituency for a great many years as one of their representatives. (Cheers.) Mr. EDWIN JAMES, who was loudly applauded, sa id that his prognostications, made to them before 'hr had the honour of being returned as their m ember, were about being realised. As he had aniticipated, the 'Reform Bill was a sham, and it sb ould have his most determined opposition. No measure of reform which deprived large numbers of th e working classes, who produce the wealth of the country, of the franchise would satisfy him. The intention of the bill appeared to be to place the .power in the hands of the landowners, to the dt!triment of the working man. Thus a landlord Might give a gamekeeper or tenant a little quantity 0 .. land, and under the head of land and tenements 4e would be really qualifying his own tenants, M hose votes he could command. Whilst the bill p roposed to disfranchise dock labourers, it would 'l';ive a vote to persons in the civil or military service pensioned to the amount of £2O a year, than which nothing could be more preposterous. "Again, it was proposed to'give the franchise to the .la.wyor. (Laughter.) Where, he would ask, could they find a lawyer who had not a £lO house ? He - Must be an uncommonly honest one if he did not possess that qualification. (Hear, hear, and laugh -ter.) The parson and the schoolmaster were also • protected by the new bill ; but where, he would ask, would be the chance of success of a liberal candidate in -the hands of these two functionaries.? (Hear, hear) After ridiculing the absurdity of the voting paper system, the learned gentleman said he looked upon the machinery of the bill as too absurd to be carried 'out. This country 'llod nothing to fear from the working classes . byl.7An. extension of the franchise. He had never heard any unfair or un• just attack made upon the aristocracy by the working classes, whom he believed to be devotedly attached to the constitution of the, country, and whilst they bore the burthens and created the wealth of the country, no class was more closely attached to its institutions, or devoted to the crown than the working class. The hon. member, after offering a few words of explanation, in which he acquitted his right hon. colleague of any attempt at dictation at the recent election, resumed his seat. Mr. WYLD, M.P., moved a vote of thanks to the borough members, which having been duly acknow ledged, upon the motion of Sir B. HALL, seconded by Mr. E. JAMES, a vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and the meeting separated. TEWKESBURY, MONDAY. The nomination for this borough, consequent upon the appointment of the Hon. F. Lygon as a Lori of the Admiralty, took place to-clay ; and small as the constituency is the population of the borough is under 6,000, and the place therefore comes under Schedule G of the Government Reform Bill. The MAYOR having opened the proceedings with the required forms, The Hon. W. COVENTRY nominated the Hon. F. Lygon as a fit and proper person. to represent the electors in Parliament. Mr. BOLDING, tanner, and a borough magistrate, seconded the nomination. Mr. PnossEß nominated Mr. Humphrey Brown, claiming credit to him for his ten years' servitude to the borough. Mr. T. CHANDLER, - bootmaker, seconded the no mination. • The Hon. F. LYGON addressed the meeting amidst some interruption at first, but on the arrival of about 50 of the Gloucestershire constabulary better order was maintained. Having briefly alluded to the measures of the present Government since they had been in office, he came to the subject of the Government Reform Bill, contending that it was a measure worthy of the Conservative party. That party had never advocated universal suffrage, though they were for extending it to large classes who were at present excluded from the franchise. He admitted that under the Government bill there would be millions excluded, still it was impos sible to maintain that large extension which Mr. Bright and others advocated without peril ling the constitution of the country. He thought it better, of the two evils, to exclude a few who were legitimately entitled to the franchise than to admit those who were not fit to discharge the func tions of electors. He thought it highly . . advisable that there should be a mixing of classes in the re presentation of the people in the House of Com mons. It was not right, in arranging a bill for re forming the representation of the country, to over look the claims of important commercial and mer cantile interests in the large towns and to leave them unrepresented, while towns like Tewkesbury sent two members to Parliament. The redistribu tion of seats under the bill now before the House of Commons had in view the enfranchisement of those large interests with the least possible disturbance of existing interests and rights. :He then went into statistic's to show that it was in the small boroughs and among small constituencies that they . found the electors animated by the greatest zeal in political matters; In conclusion, he thought the govern ment of the country, in bringing forward this bill for the reform of the representation of the people, was entitled to the confidence of the country. Mr. HUMPHREY BROWN was received with loud cheers by his friends and by groans from the other party, and a cry of" You are a disgrace to Tewkes bury> ' In the course of his address he said, the Government Reform Bill was as great a sham as ever was proposed to the country. The working classes, who, by the help of education, cheap litera ture, and a cheap press, had become sufficiently intelligent to exercise the privilege, had been ignored. He should be as glad as any person to see the great Reform question settled. The working classes were fully entitled to the franchise, and he would tell them that the man who earned his 15s. a week wages paid more taxes than Mr. Lygon did. The working classes paid two-thirds of the taxation of the country. He then alluded to the clause in the Reform Bill which would exclude county voters living in boroughs from voting for the boroughs, which he condemned, and said that under the bill the Tory party in Tewkesbury might create a sufficient number of votes outside the town to swamp the legitimate borough constituency. Mr. Lygon had not said a word about the ballot, for his party knew LAMBETH. Last evening a very large meeting of the inhabi tants of Lambeth was held at Wilcoeke's AF.aembly Rooms, Westminster-bridge-road, for the purpose of taking into consideration the question of man hood suffrage. J. P. Murrough, Esq., was called to the chair. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said if a bill came into the house in favour of manhood suffrage it should have his cordial support. (Cheers.) The bill now brought forward had been erroneonsly called a Reform Bill, but it was not one at all, and he had made up his mind to oppose it from beginning to end. (Cheers.) Mr. W. ROUPELL then addressed the assembly, and said, as he was borne to the hustings on the shoulders of the working classes, it would be a dereliction of his duty if he failed to complain of the bill which excluded them from the fran chise. He . felt assured that no portion of the British constitution would suffer from reliance on the • people. He concluded by de c l ar i ng hi s uncompromising advocacy of the complete en franchisement of the working classes of the king dom. Both hon. members then left the meeting to go fhe house, amidst loud cheering. Mr. ERNEST JONES moved, " That in the opinion of this meeting any measure of reform with a less extension of the franchise than registered manhood suffrage would be unsatisfactory to the people gene- rally, and a great injustice to all those who would be excluded." Mr. M. CULVERWELL seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously amidst tremendous 'cheering. The petition embracing manhood suffrage, ballot, &c., having been adopted, the: proceedings ter minated. CHELSEA. Last evening a public meeting was held at the Oakley Rooms, Manor-street, Chelsea, to consider the steps necessary to be taken to press on the Government the claims of Chelsea to enfranchise ment, their present Reform Bill omitting all men tion of that district. The chair was taken by Mr. T. M'CULLAGH, who, in opening the proceedings, stated the object of the meeting, and observed that they must either abandon their claims or adopt measures to press their claims on Parliament while yet there was time. After alluding to their good fortune in having on the platform their two valuable county members, Mr. Byng and Mr. Hanbury, he con cluded by saying that the resolutions which would be ;submitted to them were so moderate that they commended themselves to their recommendation. Mr. ARCHBUTT moved the first resolution : "That in the opinion of this meeting the Govern ment Reform Bill now before the House of Com mons, without on this occasion entering into any other grounds of objection, is defective, on the dis tinct ground that it proposes to enfranchise many places far inferior in all respects to Chelsea, and yet leaves Chelsea as at present virtually unrepresented ; and this meeting does not consider that the division of Middlesex into two districts (of one of which Chelsea forms part) and the giving two members to each district, thereby increasing the county representation, even though accompanied by the lowering of the county franchise to the same basis as that of the boroughs,is by any means an adequate or satisfactory compensation for withholding dis tinct representatives from Chelsea." __ _ _ This resolution having been seconded by Mr RABBITS, Mr. R. HANBURY, kill., M.P., addressed the meeting. He said that, looking at the wealth, population, and intelligence of Chelsea, he candidly confessed that he thought it ought to be represented, and they might trust in his doing his utmost to further their claims in his place in Parliament. Mr. BARTLETT then moved an amendment, to the effect that the enfranchisement of Chelsea as proposed would not be attended with any national and local advantages, which could only be attained by the institution of equal electoral districts. The amendment was seconded and supported by two working men, and then negatived by a very largo majority, after which the original resolution was carried unanimously. It was next agreed that a communication on the enfranchisement of Chelsea should be addressed to the House of Commons, and the committee be em powered to wait on the Government on the subject. The Hon. Mr. BYNG, M.P., spoke to the meeting on the first resolution, and expressed a strong desire to see Chelsea become a metropolitan borough. After the meeting, a Reform Association was formed for Chelsea, and upwards of forty names were at once enrolled. NORWICH. A great meeting of the inhabitants of Norwich was held last night to consider the provisions of the Government Reform Bill. There ware about 3,000 persons present, including both the borough members (Mr. Schneider and Lord Bury.) Resolu tions strongly condemnatory of the measure were passed. SHEFFIELD. Yesterday afternoon a public meeting was held at Sheffield, to take into consideration the Reform Bill introduced by Government. The meeting was convened by the Mayor, who presided. It. was held in Paradise-square, and about 2,000 persons were present. Mr. W. Fisher moved the first reso lution, to the efiloct that in the opinion of themeet ing the Reform Bill proposed by her Majesty's Government is not calculated to remedy the defects of our representative system, but would rather . multiply and aggravate them ; that would de prive of their votes many thousands of independent freeholders, would enfranchise, without the pro tection of the ballot, a class of persons peculiarly . liable to the control of landowners ; that would afford increased facilities for corruption and intimi dation by offering to all electors the option of givi ng their votes by mea ns of papers transmitted through the post ; and that by dissevering the anci en t con nexion of boroughs with their respective counties, it would foster jealousies much to be deprecated between the people of the country and those o f th e towns; that the bill contains no provisions to dis franchise small and depend en t b oroughs, to grant the protection of the ballot to voter s , t o ex t en d th e franchise to the skilled, thriving, and orderly artisans of our boroughs, and to give increased power in our parliamentary system to the great mercantile and manufacturin g communities; that the se errors and d e fi c i enc i es ren d er i t utter l y un suited to meet the wan t s an d w i s h es o f t h e peo pl e of this country . M r . I saac S c h o l e fi e ld se conded the motion. He said that he had had a forlorn PRICE 4D . STAMPED, SD. hope that the Governmont ,-- - policy, not of principle—bring fc of reform which would prove ac( must confess that the present bill every parti3ular, .so far as he couid Undersand it, completely frustrated whatever hopes he might have entertained. Mr. G. L. Saunders supported the motion in a practical speech ; and having been put to the meeting, it was carried unanimously. A petition to Parliament embodying the terms of the resolution, was also adopted. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT, WORCESTER, March 7. CRIMINAL COURT. John Southall was charged with the manslaughter of Sarah Maria Price, at Dudley, on the 24th of October, 1858. _ _ _ Mr. Kenealy appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. R. Kettle defended the prisoner. ill r. Kenealy, in opening the case, stated that the prisoner was charged with the manslaughter of a little girl, the adopted child of his own half-brother. The brother kept the White Rose public-house at Dudley, and on Sunday night, the 24th of October, the prisoner was there with his wife having supper. While the prisoner was eating his supper he and his wife began wrangling - and quarrelling, and being thus excited he flew into a passion and threw the knife at his wife. The knife missed the object intended, but unhappily, struck the poor child who was sitting by her side, on the head. The knife was pointed and penetrated the brain, and so caused the poor child's death. The sad result was much to be deplored, particularly as it appeared the pri- ' son cr was very fond of the 041 d, and a few minatea . rid been fonaling it. Mr. Kettle said, he could not struggle against the facts as opened, and he had advised the prisoner to retract his plea and plead guilty. Mr. Justice Crompton said there could be no doubt that it was manslaughter. A great number of respectable witnesses were then examined, and gave the prisoner a generally good character for humanity. The prisoner himself also appeared to be much distressed at his position. Mr. Justice Crompton made some appropriate observations on the conduct of the prisoner. and thea sentenced him to six calendar months' impri sonment. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.--LEICESTER CASTLE, March 7. • Mr. Justice Erie took his seat at 9 o'clock, a.m., and commenced delivering the borough gaol. Mary Weet stood charged with having, in her evidence as a witness, on the hearing of a certain information against Thomas Ditlis, at a petty session for this county held within, the borough, committed wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr, O'Brien prosecuted, and. Mr. Co - ekle appeared for the defendant. The case for the prosecution imputed to the defendant that she maliciously fabricated and wil fully deposed to certain circumstances which tended to establish against the prosecutor a charge of having attempted to commit an abominable crime. In addition to the necessary evidence of the false hood of the defendant's deposition, evidence was adduced of threats held out by her previously to the charge having been preferred against the prose cutor. Witnesses were examined on the part of the de fendant for the purpose of establishing certain ma terial facts sworn to by her, and - of showing the probable truth of her statement.. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, with a re commendation" to mercy. Sentenced to four years' penal servitude. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—March 7. The March General Sessions of the Peace for the county of Middlesex commenced yesterday morning at Cljrkenwell. Sohn Carr, 40, engineer, was indicted for stealing a quantity of brass and German silver, value 10s., the property of Alexander, Clark, his master. Mr. Cooper prosecuted ; Mr. Metealfe defended the prisoner. It appeared that, the prosecutor is a brnss worker, in Gate-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, and the prisoner, who is said to be a very clever work man, was charged, upon the evidence principally of two fellow servants, one of whom admitted that angry words had passed between him and the pri soner, with having stolen brass from the premises. Some brass was found at his lodgings, which was identified, but by marks which had been put upon it by the prisoner himself, and it was suggested that it had been given to the prisoner to work up into patterns by a deceased brother of the prosecu tor's, and that there was a strong feeling against the prisoner, on which this accusation of felony had originated. _ The learned Judge then left the case to the jury, though Mr. Metcalfe contended that legally it had failed. The learned counsel then addressed the jury upon the evidence. The prisoner was acquitted. TIIE QUEEN V. BENNETT AND OTHERS. The grand jury returned true bills of indictment against John Gibson Bennett, William Alfred Ben nett, Henry Lee Bennett, John Nichol Waters, and Abraham Haynes, charged with conspiring to defraud, and other misdemeanours. The defendants are the persons who figured in the proceedings at Bow-street police -court on Sa turday. Haynes, it was stated, was an attorney, the others professed to cure deafness. (Before Mr. Payne.) ;iamb Davis, alias Farren, 56, dealer, was in dicted for stealing, and also for feloniously receiv ing, 11 watches, the property of George Wilkshire, and Caroline Parker, 28, surrendered to take her trial with Davis on the same charge. Mr. Cooper prosecuted ; Mr. Sleigh defended Parker, Mr. Ribton was eounsel for Davis. The prosecutor is a jeweller and watchmaker, carrying on business in the Whitechapel-roar?, and, during the night of the 12th of January, his shop was entered through a wall three feet thick in the cellar, by some person from the adjoining premises, and watches and jewellery to the amount of £075 stolen. The male prisoner was subsequently found by police-constable Deeble, in Commercial-street, in possession of some of the watches, and one was found in the possession of Parker, with whom he lodged at 2, Arundel-place, Waterloo-town, but she said he had given it her as a present. There is another prisoner for trial, charged with being concerned in the same transaction. The police stated that the premises from which the entry was made, were used as a "penny gaff," and the making of a hole through a wall of such thickness—three feet of solid m asonry—sufficient to admit of persons getting through, had necessarily been a task of difficulty, and had taken a good deal of time and labour. It required a good deal of caution to prevent the noise of the chisels which were used being heard. The jury acquitted the woman and found Davis guilty. Mr. Payne sentenced him to 18 months' hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—March 7. CLERKENWELL.—CharIes Davis, 57, a rough determined -looking fellow, described on the charge sheet as a smith, was placed at the bar before Mr. Corrie, charged with attempting to m ur d er hi s w if e, Sarah Davis, by cutting and wound i ng her with a bill-hook in Northampton-street, Clerkenwell. The prosecutrix was unable to attend, and it was stated that she was so ill that the surgeons at St. Bartholomew's Hospital despaired of her life being saved, owing to the severe nature of the wounds she had received. From the evidence of the police, 'it appeared that about one o'clock on Sunday morning, cries of "Murder" were heard proceeding from the prisoner's apartment, and upon proceeding there they found the prisoner drunk, and the poor woman in an insensible state, with several severe cuts on the back of the head, which the prisoner had inflicted with a billhook. The billhook, when dis covered by the police, was covered with blood. The police at once procured assistance for the popr woman, and took the prisoner to the station. The injured woman, it was stated, was quite sober. The prisoner, in defence, did not deny the charge; but said his wife was very aggravating--tore his waistcoat and shirt, and "otherwise exasperated him." Mr. Corrie remanded the prisoner for a week, and, owing to the serious nature of the charge, said he should decline to accept bail for the pri soner's appearance. LAMBETH.--Samuel Ball, John Morley, a n d . Samuel Low, privates in the Grenadier;Guards, and very powerful men, were charged before Mr. Elliott with the commission of a most violent out rage in the Lower Marsh, Lambeth, and severely assaulting the police and other persons. efmt Knowles From the statement of B erg, 3 L I appeared that on Saturday night the prisoners and other soldiers were drinking for some time at the " Crystal Palace" beerhouse, in the Lower Marsh, Lambeth, and having become excited with drink they occasionally sallied out and grossly insulted several respectable persons. The co ns t a bl e on t h e beat perceiving their disposition to general and open riot, sent to the station for assistance, and two or three constables came. The soldiers perceiving the approach of the constables, instantly slipped off their belts, and, arming themselves with these for able weapons, rushed into the street. The first pct of their attack was James Brown, a butcher, was standing at hiAnaster's shop, and . the finer Ball having rushed at him struck him a ri.;Avnt blo" the mouth, and, as he described himself, knociiecl him down " like a bullock." The police came to his rescue and a desperate conflict ensued. The soldiers sla s h e d at ev ery oneindiscri minately who came in their way, and the police being compelled in self defence to draw and use their staves two of the prisoners, Ball and Morley, received some awkward knocks and cuts on their heads. Three constables in return got most roughly treated (185, 139, an d 256 L), an d appeare d muc h injures!, cut, and kicked. In reply to a question from the magistrate, Sergeant Knowles said that the outrage had lasted half ah hour, during which the prisoners struck every one who came before them, and he had no doubt that a number of per-. sons had received injuries who had not yeti edm© forward. Mr. Elliot remanded the prisoners flu.g week. WOOLWICH.—Phcebe Lad, a good-looking and well-dressed young woman, 19 years of age, and residing at Bodey, Kent, was charged with cutting and wounding Joseph Kippax, a drape r , residing i n th e Bl ac kf r i ars - roa d, an d a f terward. : attempting to'commit suicide. The lammed man was accustomed to visit the prisoner at Bexley, and called upon her as usual on Friday. On the fo:'...wing morning he made known to her that for the future his visits would cease, when, in a moment of excitement, she seized a knife and stabbed him in the chest, afterwards attempting similar injury to her own person, the instrument being diverte6l, by coming in contact witlrher b t.tays. Police-serf;int,LLllis handed in a medical cer tificate to his worship, which stated that the in jured man had received two 'deep wounds in the chest,. and that it would be some days beforo ho would be able to attend. The prisoner, who appeared to feel deeply th• position.; in, which she was placed, was remanded fora week. EXTRAOBIJINABY OUTRAGE BY THE ' CREW "OF A BRITISH GUN-BOAT. A disgraceful riot, accompanied with serious destruction of property, appears to have been per petrated. at the island of St. Vincent, British West Indies, by the crew of one of her Majesty's gun boats. A. large body of liberty men from her Ma jesty's ship jasper were on shore, and avowed their intention of - having come for the purpose of exe cuting Vengeance upon the person and property of Mr. Abbott, the printer and publisher of the Mir ror, on account of sonic article reflecting on the crew of the Jasper, which had been published in a late copy of that paper. The Lieutenant-Governor remonstrated. with the men and organised special constables; and for a time . restrained th em . li e writes in memorandum :—" About dusk a large body of the Jasper's men, accompanied by some other sailors from the vessels in harbour, marched in h body, with formidable bludgeons in their hands, up - the 'back *street, and evidently bent on carry out their threat of destroying Mr. Abbott's pre mise& I placed myself in their way, and endeavoured to induce them to retire, but in vain. Rushing past me, they took possession of the place, and soon made it a complete ruin. Feeling that, whilst thus ex cited, they might carry out the rest of their threat and attack. the police-station to get . at Mr. Abbott., who was o*d:to take refuge there, I directed. the bugle to be sounded, and the volunteers mus tered for the protection of the station, if necessary. A considerable number attended, and were kept under arms for some time, but Were subsequently dismissed upon no attack on the station taking place. In the meantime, the sailors having executed their purpose ) were returning through the to n with a large and naturally very excited crowd fol lowing them. "Some rioting occurred, stones - were thrown, and several persons injured, but no lives were lost. Ata later period the sailors again sallied forth to ,complete the work of destruction they had begun at, Mr. Abbott's premises ; and. his printing press, fatthturo, and. other property were destroyed, after which the sailors again retained to drink."

The conics issued yesterday of Admiralty reports under the Parliamentary Inquiries Act include vari ous metropolitan schemes. To the West London Railway Bill their lordships assent on the following conditions :—" That the viaduct across the river Thames be only constructed on plans previously approved of by their lordships, and with such head ay and waterway as their lord ships may require. With respect to the branch ter minating on the north bank of the river Thames, and the entrance from the river to the proposed dock near the same place, their lordships have to require that no works projecting into the river below high water mark be executed except on plans submitted to and approved of by the Admiralty." To the Victoria Stati on an d Pimlico Railway Bill their lordships assent, on the condition that no alteration be made in the structure from the plan already sanctioned, without the further consent of `the Admiralty. In the case of the North London, Paddington, Richmond, Hampton Court, and Kingston Railway Bill, their lordships have only to require " that the bridges or viaducts crossing the Thames be constructed on such plans and under such conditions as their lordships shall require, and with such headway and waterway as they may think necessary." A similar report is made in the cases of the South Metropolitan and Westminster Station Bill ; and the Victoria Station and North-Western and Great Western Junction Railway Bill. With respect to Branch No. 2in the latter bill, their lordships require that no works below high-water mark of the Thames shill be constructed without their sanction. Of the West London and Pimlico Railway Bill, the i Their lordships consid er i t very principle to car r y a ra il way o -e b p j o e r c t t o s n a a y b s n " along the banks of a navigable river for such a distance, but still more so in respect to the Thames, and in the metropolis, and in this case the more sor as not perniitting of passages being formed either over or under the railway. Their lordships further object to the railway being carried for such a dis tance within the banks of the river, and occupying so much water frontage, and therefore must with hold their assent to the portion of the line extending beyond the first one mile and three-quarters." [ADVERTISEME\TT.]—ThorIey's Food beginning to seriously attract the attention of the farmer, re r for Cattle is now care bled d , and. at te n f t e o d n e r h a o ‘ f: e s e t o n c a k b . l ed Two its b eae a rs i y nve toorft u n t r a e k m e i t h ti i if , ground as a benefact or t o th ese i nterests ; and nontwithstangd ing the many drawbacks, the malevolent shafts hurled against it and its probable utilitY, the food, from its admitted value,_ will becom e a necess i ty to the agricultural interest. Experience has proved, first, that it affects a considerable saving in the consumption of provender ; secondly, that it produces health an d v i gour i n all animals subjected to its influence : and lastly, increases in a remarkable degree an early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this singularly efficacious food, aimed at a. compound calculated to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. In this he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ap plicable to every description of domestic animal. The Eng lish farmer was slow to encourage its use, and manifested an unwillingness to rely upon its efficacy, fancying he possessed in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby to feed and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate than by the employment or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this food has been subjected have proved its perfect admissibility as a cheap addition to the natural produce of the farm ; inasmuch as in all cases a subtraction of one-third may be safely submitted to in the usual food of animals ; and that the produce will be 'realised, and rendered marketable in two-thirds of the time usually consumed in developing fat ; it, therefore, becomes apparent that a certain saving is effected by a fair application of Thorley's Compounded Food. It is believed that the present unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its very gene ral use, in preferencq to any other of the usual articles of food ; it is, however , much q uestioned whet her wheat is a horse, certainly , it torsnhiot for g o an r c d o p w r s op o e r r f p o i o g. d s for iv t i h r e . worldng Thorley's Food besides p os sessing the advantag e of g rea tly invigorating the health and increasing the physical power of all animals, is a tonic and gentle stimulant, and when mixed with their other food, o er food, materially assists their digestive powers—a matter of great consequence, since it is.an undoubted fact that the nourishment contained in their ordinary food is lost, conse quent upon the impaired or defective action of the digestive organs; it will also be found to be particularly beneficial in restoring to good working condition horses which have been over-worked, or become weak from disease, or are naturally of a feeble constitution. In cows its effects are undoubted, indeed almost marvellous, nearly doubling the yield of milk and butter, whilst it at the same time enriches the quality of both. In pigs its fattening qualities are still more remarkable, displaying in a few weeks its manifest superiority over every other kind of compound or manu factured food adopted in the feeding of swine. Such has been its marked success, that at all our great cattle shows, Royalty, noblemen, and others who have fed their cattle on Thorley's Food, have invariably carried off the principal prizes, whilst cards of commendation have been awarded. The patronage of Royalty, of our principal nobility, the clergy, and of our leading agriculturists, must prove a great incitement to this gentleman to pursue his onward course; and he may confidently rely, in producing so highly-favoured a compound, on a coatinlletiOA Of nth' high and distinguished patronage. the oris ; rick ; dill ; nt.— veins on or f the some vent, rtain rt an the joint ld be aken cgs is fo of of a , the a V. ife of way, Lt, to ..Isq., Lrch, ght, igh- Tees Less, :sq., very odd 'age ~ rP_. +
