In addition to the land defences now being erected on the Kent and Essex coasts at Shornmeade, Coal house Point, the Isle of Grain, Garrison Point, Folly Print, Darnetness, and Bishop's Marsh, for the pro lection of the entrances to the rivers Thames and Medway, the Government has also decided on the erection of a large battery on the projecting point of land at Allhallows, on the southern bank of the Thames, about mid-distance between the forts in course of construction at Shornmeade and Garri son Point, cn the Kentish coast. The side for the proposed fort has been taken possession of by the Government, and the erection of the battery and other works will be at once commenced. In the meantime, every effort is being used by the several Goxernment contractors to complete the various - works now in progress, more especially those which command the main channel entrance to the Thames and also the river Medway, Among the most pro minent of the works now on hand, and to which the principal efforts of the Government appear to be directed, are those connected 'with the erection of the large batteries on the shore and spit of Grain, on the north-west side of the channel approach to Chatham harbour and arsenal, every exertion being used to have the formidable forts and batteries on the Isle of Grain, as well as those in progress at Ga.rrison Point, on the opposite side of the estuary of the Medway, completed before next summer, by - which tim e the works connected with the formation off.the new do c k s an d b as i ns a t Ch a th am w ill b e rly in hand, Several hundred hands have been - ti f " le ". on the G r ain works during the past s Luter and up to the present period and consider l i - ' able prog ress has beenmade in raising the super structure of the forts, eeryaing as position of th e rapidlylsle of G as circumstances will admit.

The qbjections raised to the sites for the batteries, which were pointed out in the columns of The Sun at the UNIVERSITIES' MISSION TO CENTRAL AFRICA. A meeting in connexion with the Oxford, Cam bridge, Dublin, and Durham mission to Central Africa, was held yesterday afternoon in St. James's hall, Piccadilly, Mr. S. B. Beresford Hope in the chair. tral Africa, with a view not to make an English settlement—and it was very important that should be borne in mind—but with the view of making an African settlement. The uncertainty of life and property in that country among the natives was so extreme, that it was necessary there should be some nucleus of civilised and English life, around which the Africans could cluster, and under its shelter, from union with one another, pos sessing a measure of physical and social strength, they would then render it impossible for the slave dealer to attack them. Had anything happened to show that Dr. Livingstone's expectations were The large hall was well filled by a highly re spectable company, among whom were many ladies. The proceedings having been opened by prayer, The CHAIRMAN said he had to apologise on behalf of the Central African Mission for having called a public meeting in London at this unusual season of the year, late in autumn, instead of early in spring, when halls like the present were best filled, but the work in which they were engaged was one that would not bide the seasons of fashionable life. In that work they must be up and stirring at all sea sons alike, and he had therefore to congratulate the mission that at this usually dull period of the year that vast hall—the largest, he believed, in London devoted to meetings of this sort—was filled, area and galleries alike. (Cheers.) They had met, not to inaugurate any new scheme, nor to assist at the anniversary of any long-established society, but to promote, perhaps, the most truly missionary so ciety that had ever assembled in London. Their object was to throw in fresh blood into the Central African Mission. They all knew a Christian mar tyr's blood had been shed in Central Africa for the Gospel of Christ. That good, fine, holy, earnest, single-hearted man, Bishop Mackenzie, had died at his post, doing his work on a pestilential island in a Central African river, and they had now to send out his successor. The work was independent of time and charge—it was God's work, and must be done in God's strength. Humanly speaking the mission was in great straits. Bishop Mackenzie was dead, Mr. Burrup was dead, and the mission had been obliged to retreat further down the river, and they had simply to put it to the meeting whether that mission, which had been undertaken by the Universities of the land, those old institutions -which the piety and munificence of their ancestors had founded—undertaken on the impulse of the generous enthusiasm which D r. Livingstone's simple narrative had created—should be given up at the first serious difficulties which had presented them selves. That work was a holy and Christian work. The command to go and teach all nations was as binding on the 19th as on the first century of the Christian era, and without looking to any great material success, without any flourishing reports to present or conversions to marshal, they must go on step by step doing a work which, in proportion as it was done in simplicity of heart, in faith, and humble dependence on the Divine strength, would receive the promised blessing. (Cheers.) They had lost the first head of the mission, but those who supported the mission felt undiminished confidence in it. They were determined to hold on, andit was for such a meeting as the present to give them the means of doing so. The progress of British dis covery, emigration, and colonisation had been most beneficent. Too much could not be said in praise of British enterprise. Steamers had even been started on some of the African rivers. But he con ceived the Universities had wisely and well con sulted for the altered circumstances of the times by • coming forward as the foster-mothers of such a mis sion as this. At any rate, they had done so when others held back, The credit was theirs; the re sponsibility was theirs also; but it was for the meeting to lighten that responsibility. He did not encourage them to look for any very brilliant re sults. Brilliant results could not be expected to flow from the small subscriptions that had hitherto flowed into the coffers of this mission. Humanly speaking, brilliant results were out of the question. All they could do was to sow the seed; the crop might not spring up in their own or in their chil dren's lifetime. They were not there to rake up past grievances, or to sit as a commission of in quiry whether what bad been done during the last 12 months had not better been left undone. What ever might have been Bishop Mackenzie's policy in Africa he would not discuss. Bishop Mackenzie was a devoted servant of the Lord —engaged in a holy mission, and he lost his life while so en gaged. Let his memory rest in peace. (Cheers.) ' They were there to bid God-speed to the new bishop, and he hoped they would give him such a welcome that would convince his rev. friend, an d those others who were about to join the mission, that they m i g ht rely on their Christian symp a th y and support. (Cheers.) He should now call on the Bishop of Oxford to move the first resolution. (Cheers.) Theßishop of OXFORD said the resolution he had to move was in these terms—" That this meeting cordially sympathises with the exertions of the Church of England to extend the blessings of the o f Cen tral n tr a l Gospel A f r e f a . Christ The to simple m p t le he wording rd benighteding of regionstha resolution expressed at once all that he wished inh his present address to bring before the meeting . dis tinctly a movement of the Church of This was Engla nd which it specially behoved every attached member of that Church to help forward; first, from its con stitution, and, secondly, from the particular object which it set before itself. From its constitution — for he quite agreed that it would be wholly im possible in the present state of the Church to dis charge our bounden duty to the heathen world ex cept through the agency of Church societies, and therefore he rejoiced to see such Church societies flourishing, their efforts and subscription lists in fallacious ? Were the difficulties which had arisen such as had not been foreseen or should make them stand still or withdraw from the mission ? What had the difficulties been ? In the first place, there had been the collision between the mission and the slave trading people. That was foreseen and ex pected. They planted the mission nevertheless; it was a sort of protest against the slave trade—it was perhaps the only way in which the stave trade could be defeated, for it was only by engendering lawful commerce that the slave trade could be put down ; it was therefore to he expected that the instincts of the slave trader would be roused against the mis sion. The mere existence of that difficulty was then no reason for withdrawing from the mission. Then it was said that a mistake had been committed. Most probably Dr. Livingstone had mistaken for the mere roving of the slave trade agents what in fact was a great tribal movement, and be had thus involved himself in a difficulty from which he had always endeavoured to steer clear. Bat when had any mission ever been conducted without some mis take ? Even Paul himself might have made mis takes, but did these show that God was not with _ _ _ him ? No ! they only showed that the treasure was in earthen vessels while all the glory was due to God only. And with regard to the death of Bishop Mackenzie and Mr. Burrup, had they died because it was impossible for English people to live in that climate there might have been some ground for argument against the mission ; but, so far from that, he said their death was as much an accident in the ordinary meaning of the term, as if they met it in an express train at home. It arose from the up setting of the canoe and the loss of the medicine, which was essential to the life of Europeans in that country. Had there ever been from the first any great work done for God which had not been begun in tears and nurtured under what seemed the heaviest misfortune and the greatest discouragement ? That was so much the rule that he confessed if all went on too smoothly with any enterprise he was apt to look for some very over whelming reverse or some suspicion of unsoundness in the mode in which the work was carried on. It was by the blood of the original martyrs that the seed of the truth was spread in the earth. "In every city bonds and afflictions abide me," was the escutcheon of Christ's noblest witness. Sowing in tears they would reap in joy. Bishop Mackenzie's mysterious and melancholy removal from the field of action was a pledge to every heart with a grain of Christian heroism in it that the inheritance of that land should yet be obtained. Could the pagan Roman say that wherever the body of a legionary lay there the Roman eagle should advance ever and retire never, and would the Christian warrior not say, " We take possession in the name of Christ of that whole district of Central Africa in that tomb of Christ's faithful martyr ; on that as our standing place we shall set our foot and advance the triumphs of the cross P" (Cheers.) One of the greatest fathers of the Church said he believed that if but for the space of 24 hours the whole church were wholly faithful the world would be converted within the next 24 hours. It was the want of the Christian character stamped upon those that bore the Chris tian name—it was the want of claiming with the full wholeness of a perfect faith the promise of the Lord, which had weakened the arm of conversion It was this which thinned the ranks of missionary success. Nothing but the most unchristian faint heartedness could lead them to give up the good work. The Church of England had taken up this work; she had committed herself to it, and he trusted they would all yet have abundant cause to rejoice together over the greatness of the success which God would vouchsafe to their efforts. The CHAIRMAN stated that the Bishop of London and the Bishop of Capetown had been unavoidably prevented from being present. Mr. Gladstone also had been expected, but could not attend. He then called on Mr. John Talbot, who seconded the reso lution, which was unanimously adopted. The Rov. Mr. GRO. TOZI3II, the Bishop desi g nate of Central Africa, next addressed the meeting. As a church and a nation they had put their hands to the plough—the only plough that could effectually turn up the barren yet virgin soil of Africa—and the glorious seed to be sown there would, in God's own time, bring forth an abundant harvest into His eternal glory. They should regard the tomb of Bishop Mackenzie somewhat as the Israelitish peo ple looked to the cave of Machpela, as a foretaste of the great blessings God had in store for their church and nation. Coming to the policy to be pursued in Africa, which must be ventilated sooner or later, there were two subjects on which he would say a few wo r d s — f i rst, the difficult matter of tribal invasion and hostilities among the native tribes, and, secondly, the particular line they were called upon and bound to take with regard to that great curse and plague spot of Africa, the fruitful source of all her complicated wro ngs , namely, the slave trade. Without speaking of Bishop Mackenzie and his labours in any other than the most friendly spirit, it became his duty, looking to the results of the policy that had been pursued, to consider se riously what course should be adopted in future. Rather than commit himself to a policy of aggres sion, he shou'd come back to the sad and miserable alternative of deserting Central Africa altogether for a time as a field of missionary enterprise. If the Gospel was to be admitted into that far-off land, it must be by other means and arts than those of war ; and as to the way in which he must speak and act in regard to slavery, he would yield to none in the expression of his horror and detestation of that most cruel and hateful traffic. He yielded to none in his deep feelings of indignation at the ac counts of slavery on the banks of the Zambesi. Yet sthtietynt uijori, ust h d n e w a e l v a er t dfiertsrtimveernytatletnhdey m ight considere tenderly with that in. it to the highest interests of humanity.

He was sure that the very last purse that ought to be dipped into in order to relieve that dis tress was that which contained the comparatively niggard offering to God for the extension of his kingdom. (Cheers.) It was of extreme use to the Church that over and above those settled societies there should be efforts of a more special kind— sparks casting themselves forth from the warm heart of the great cEntral mass of Christian intelligence and feeling. There was nothing more dangerous to the Church than falling into the groove of mere routine, and coming through its perpetual same ness to a lower state of action. This must be the result when men contented themselves with the miserable guinea subscriptions which they rather grudgingly, perhaps, directed their bankers to p a y to T -L-- 11.E SUN LONDON, THURSDAY EV • ENING, the societies, a list of which they handed in at Christ- But how was that to be accomplished ?

A very extraordinary case of suspected poisoning has very recently been under the consideration of the authorities in the Southern division of the county of Wilts, and great interest has been excited in the more immediate district from the similarity, in many respects, to the late notorious case of Mrs. Wilson, who was recently executed at Newgate for a similar crime to that alleged. It appears that a Mrs. Kiddie, the wife of John Kiddie, a carpenter, resid ing at Sudwell, a small village near Semley, in this county, had been suffering from severe illness for some time since the • 22d of August last, and had been attended by Dr. Shettle, of Shaftesbury, up to the 22d of October last, when•believing from the symp toms exhibited that some irritant had been ad ministered he spoke to Mr. Kiddie on the subject, and in consequence of what took place, Mrs. Trow bridge was taken into custody (Mrs. Kiddie having died), and brought before the magistrates here, and twice remanded. The coroner for the county also opened an inquiry into the cause of the death of Mrs. Kiddie, and this afternoon, at four o'clock, Mrs. Emily Radcliffe Trowbridge was again placed in the dock, charged with the murder of Mrs. Kiddie by poison. She seemed deeply effected at her posicion. The magistrates present were Messrs. It. Graves, (chairman), A. Seymour, J. Du Boulay, M. Jeffreys, J. Lock, and T. F Grove. _ Mr. R. Swyer, solicitor, of Shaftesbury, appeared to watch the proceedings on behalf of Mr. Kiddie; Mr. Chitty, of Hindon and Shaftesbury, repre. . ..... sented the prisoner. At the commencement ,Cti the. Rto.eeedings the evi dence of Mr. Shettle given at theweVious exami nation, was read ever as follaw.s:,--1 am a doctor of medicine and a general petitioner. I have been the medical attendant upon Alan' Kiddie, the wife ! of John Kiddie. On the 25th August she was suf fering from what I consideAd chronic inflamma tion of the stomach. I tried several remedies, but actlkey took very little effect, I supposed that her disease was complicated with cancer. Some short time afterwards the evidence of cure not being suf ficient in my opinion to lead me to suppose she was dying from that cause, and the symptoms of irri tant poisoning showing themselves in sickness and j retching, I watched the case very closely. On the Bth Oct., I discontinued all medicines, and gave milk only as food. The sickness still continued, and on the 12th there was great retching. I desired that some other medical opinion should be taken, and Dr. Roberts, of Salisbury, was called in. His opinion did not coincide with mine as regarded an irritant, and I thought I might be mistaken. Two or three days afterwards I was again led to believe that my for mer opinion as to an irritant was correct from the absence of symptoms that usually attend organic disease approaching a crisis—the peculiar glassy appearance of the eye, and the yellow appearance of the skin. I stated my opinion, and on Oct. 22 the patient died. I made a post-mortem examina tion in conjunction with my assistant. I found a small schirrhous tumour the size of a small walnut encircling the lower part of the tube through which the food passes to the stomach. The disease was not in an active state, and in my opinion could not have accounted for the sickness and retching from which the deceased had been suffering. The sto mach, intestines, and omentum all exhibited marks of great inflammation, and I have no hesitation in referring death to that cause. The heart, pericar dium, lungs, liver, kidneys, pancrea, spleen, and other organs were all healthy. We removed the sterna* intestines, and liver, and packed them caretully in jars, which were sealed, and sent to Dr. Heripatb, at Bristol, for analysis. I believe death was occasioned by irritant poison. Arsenic would produce such symptoms. The body has been exhumed, and I have seen it. There was very little decomposition or smell. Those symptoms denote death by arsenic, and my opinion is decidedly con firmed. Some little time previous to her death, from the peculiarity of the symptoms from which she was suffering, I stated to the deceased's hus band that it would be necessary to have a post mortem examination, and also to Mrs. Trowbridge (the prisoner). Nothing particular occurred then, but subsequently the prisoner stated that Mrs. Kiddie had heard of my wish to make a post-mor- tern examination, and wished her sister not to allow it or to leave the house until after she was buried. said tilern woo time enough for that, and I left the house. On the following day I charged the sister of Mrs. Kiddie with having told her of my wish, and in consequence of a communication from John Kiddie, I called upon Mrs.Trowbridge, and said, I regretted that anything had occurred to cause her distress. She said, " What a horrid creature you must have thought me to consider me capable of administering anything improper. I have noticed how closely you have watched my basket, and how carefully yon have inspected the food." I said that I had made no accusation against any one, and I was sorry if she had formed that impression. I told her it was my duty to watch my patients closely, and to take notice of everything that occurred. I then left, and never had any conversation with her afterwards. I never prescribed arsenic to Mrs. Kiddie. The symp toms would very likely produce burning in the throat. Dr. Shettle, examined by Mr. Swyer—He sealed up certain bottles, and sent them to Dr. Herapath, which he identified as having been sealed as pro duced. Cross-examined by Mr. Chitty—l performed the post nzortem examino.' ion, in conjunction with my assistant. I took the whole stomach and put it into a bottle; before doing so I examined it. I have know n the prisoner for some time, and have been on good terms with her. I have seen the prisoner in a sick-room before. When I was called in, Mrs Kiddie's stomach rejected all food, and on finding this I ordered beef -tea injections. I think eight days was the longest time the stomach retained food.

Dr, Roberts went to the patient on the 14th, and afterwards had a consultation with him (Dr. Shettle). Dr. Roberta said he saw no cause to ap prehend an irritant being administered. On the Bth the medicine was left off, and on the 22d she died. The prisoner bore a good character for kind ness and attention to people generally, The certi ficate of death was given after the post-mortem examination. The certificate was as follows: " Cann, Shaftesbury, Oct. 26, 1862. "I certify that I attended Ann Riddle, aged 44, residing at Bird Bush ; that I saw her last on October 22, 1862 that she died on October 22, 1862 ; and that a post• mortem examination proved the existence of a scirrhous tumour the size of a small walnut encircling the lower part of the nisophagus, and great irritation and inflammation of the mucous membrane of the stomach and bowels, the latter in my opinion being the cause of death. (Signed) " RICHD. F. SISETTLE, M.D." After some further cross-examination, Mr. Wm. Bird Herapath was called and exa mined by Mr. Swyer, and said—l am a physician, a doctor of medicine, M.R.C.S., &c. After describ ing the contents of the parcel sent to him by Dr. Shettle, he said that he examined them and found the stomach all in one Mass. He found intense in flammation of the intestine. There was a small phtch in the duodenum which did not show any trace of arsenic. The stornath *as free from can cer, the mucous membrane being Veil muoh in flamed. The contents of the stomach escaped. He sought for solid *titles, but could not find any._ He dissolved a portion of the stomach and intestines, and discovered the existence of several metallic substances—arsenic, bismuth, and copper. He subsequently found antimony in the same fluid, Arsenic predominated consider ably. Copper was a mere trace, and so was anti mony ; bismuth large in proportion. He adopted several processes to detect arsenic, and found 81- 100ths of a grain. He wrote to Dr. Shettle to ask him what he had administered, and he (Dr. Shettle) accounted for bismuth, but not for copper, arsenic, or antimony. Arsenic was in the viscera, the purity of the vessels having been previously estab lished. He found two large gall-stones in the blad der and found traces of arsenic. On examining the liver, he found a very large quantity of a white metal deposit, composed of silver, mercury, and ar senic. He suggested the possibility of poison being found in Dr. Shettle's drugs, but found none in .21 out of 23 sorts. He examined the paper in the room and found arsenic there, but it could not have got into the deceased woman's system. The inquiry was proceeding when our parcel left. 711 E FA7AL ACCIDENT ON THE HAM MERSMITH AND CITY RAILWAY. ADIOURNED INQUEST. Dr. Lankester, the coroner for Central Middle sex, and the jury previously empannelled in this case, re-assembled at the Bank of England Tavern, Cambridge. place, Paddington, yesterday, to pro ceed with the inquiry as to the death of Jame■ Hall, Richard Cookson, William Ogden, Henry Macey, Alfred l3eeby, and Thomas Nicholls the six unfortunate men killed by the falling of several arches of the viaduct on this railway on the morning of the 6th instant. The inquest was adjourned to the present occasion in order that the jury might satisfy themselves as to the cha racter of the soil on which the foundation was built. The coroner and jury, after having again care fully viewed the fatal spot, returned to the above tavern s when John Smith, civil engineer and railway contrac tor, of Tavistock-square,Was called to give evidence on the quality of the concrete and materials used for the arches. He deposed that he made the Me tropolitan (Underground) Railway, and was a judge of concrete. He had closely examined the concrete, and believed it to be composed of such materials as made good concrete. He believed the disintegration of the concrete was attributable to the movement of a pier, and began to disintegrate with the move ment. The concrete, however, had nothing to do with the accident, which was solely caused by the giving way of the clay soil on which the pier rested. If the arches had sunk perpendicularly the men would not have lost their lives, but they slipped sideways, and the cause of the slipping was from laminated clay. He had never seen such slipping before with London clay, but he had in Lancashire. A viaduct fell on the East Lancashire Railway just in the same manner. The London clay ordinarily did not require any precaution on account of its la minated nature. This clay, however, had become very porous and unsound by the percolation of water containing vegetable matter, which unsoundness could not well be detected in summer or dry weather, but might be in winter. The Coroner remarked that it appeared that the cause of our land slips on the sea coasts was pre cisely the same as this. After some desultory discussion, The jury unanimously determined to again ad- journ on the following conditions, executed by the contractor of the works (Mr. Rummins) :- Ist. To clear away the brick-work above the con crete of the damaged pier. 2d. To cut a horizontal trench on the west side similar to the one which now exists on the east side of the damaged pier. 3d. That Mr. Rummins be permitted to fill up the trenches which now exist, and to remove the debris. THE BUAGLAR SHOT BY A LADY IN DERBYSHIRE. We are glad to announce that the efforts of Mr. Fox and his staff have been partially suc cessful. They were enabled, from information gleaned with much trouble, to arrest two men on Sunday night, and on Monday morning the pri soners were taken before Mr. Nield and Mr. Slack, two of the county justices. The only evidence taken was that of Mrs. Mary Norman, who said—l am the wife of Cecil George Norman, and reside at Whaley. At about a quarter past three o'clock in the morning of the 12th inst., while I was feeding the baby in bed, I heard a crash of glass in the window of the room on the ground floor, under our bedroom. My husband was in bed asleep. I did not awake him because he was ill. I got out of bed, and took a revolver off a table in the room and went downstairs. I did not take a light, as I could not find the matches. On opening the door of the front sitting-room I saw a man standing beside the cupboard near the window. He was looking in the direction of the door where I stood. He had what appeared to be a short iron bar in his hand. He had also a lighted candle in the other hand. I tried to discharge the pistol at him, but the cap missed fire, and I immediately fired the next barrel. All the barrels were loaded with ball. The man clapped his hand to his shoulder, and in a tone of pain exclaimed, " 0 God —Bill—Dick." The lower sash of the window was up, and he threw one leg out of the window, and a man seized him by the collar and dragged him out. It was a fine moonlight night. There were a man and a lad, apparently 17 or 18 years of age, outside the window. The man who was in the room had a red handkerchief, with a very white small check on it, over his face, with holes in it to see through. He had no cap on, or it was concealed by the hand kerchief. He had a dark velveteen coat on, with large pockets in it, which seemed to be very full of something. Ho wore blue stockings with white tops, which were drawn above his knees and covered his feet. I cannot say whether they were drawn over his trousers, or whether he wore breeches. He was a middle-sized man —rather stout. The man who pulled him out of the indow was taller, and wore a dark-blue handkerchief, with a large white flower pattern on it, over his face. When we retired to rest I left upon the window-sill some unbleached holland for making childrens' pinafores and some newspapers, and after the men were gone we found those articles outside the window, in the lane, and brought them in again. We also found that a cup board in the room which had been entered, and which I had seen locked before we went to bed, had been forced open, and the cupboard was b r oken, as if it had b een wrenche d open w i t h the bar whic h the man had in his hand. The shutters on the out side of the window had been forced, and the mark of the instrument used in forcing them open was upon the shutters. I can't identify the faces I of any of the prisoners, because the men who com mitted the burglary were covered with handker chiefs, and the youngest, who had no handkerchief over his face, had his back turned to me. The youngest prisoner seems to be of the same size as one of the men who stood outside the window, and the colour of his coat corresponds with that of the same man. The other men who broke into the house wore coats of a similar colour and material to those now worn by the other prisoners. The cap worn by the youngest of the men who committed the burglary was similar to the cap now produced. The prisoners were then remanded.— Nanchester Ex aminer. AN ANTICIPATED .RlO7 IN WOLVER HIINIPTON-7HE MILITARY IN IHE 10117 N. Gavazzi lectured last night in Wolverhampton on Victor Emmanuel, Garibaldi, and the Pope; Italy, her Present and her Future." Remember ing the excesses that have been occasioned in other towns, and especially in Birkenhead, by Irish mobs, the mayor and magistrates took steps to ascertain if there was any reason to expect that such pro ceedings would be repeated in Wolverhampton. They received information to the effect that a riot might be feared on the part of the Irish; and they ascertained that the returned convicts at large in the district were being organised by a ringleader of their number to avail themselves of the occasion to make a foray upon the most vulnerable parts of the town ; and that the respective depots of the ar►Ls of the volunteer companies in the town would be sacked. The mayor and the magistrates, supported by the leading ratepayers, thereupon determined to take prompt steps to summarily suppress such violence if it should be attempted. They forwarded a re (oiliest to Birmingham for a troop of Dragoons, in structed Captain Thorneycroft to be in readi ness with his troop of Yeomanry, and desired the assistance of Col. Hogg, the chief constable of the county, and a body of his men, removed the arms of the volunteers into safe custody, and swore in a body of special constables to secure the safe keeping of the arms. Yesterday afternoon the Dragoons rode into the town ; subsequently a force of 120 of the county constabulary, headed by Colonel Hogg, Major M'Knight (the deputy chief constable), and Chief Superintendent S weeting, and flanked by three superintendents, all upon horseback, entered the town, and were met by the stipendiary of the district, all mounted. All the constables wore their sabres, but the weapons were hidden by the long cloaks which the men wore. Capt. Segrave, the chief constable of the town, had his own force ready, and placed them in picquets in different parts of the town, so that if any attempt should be made to disturb the peace elsewhere than at the place of the meeting he might be prepared to quell it. The promptitude which the Mayor and the ma gistracy have displayed has reassured the confidence which was beginning to waver in the town in anti cipation of the night's disturbance ; and, excepting among certain of the Roman Catholic population, this promptitude is spoken of with admiration. Up to 7 o'clock, when our report was despatched, it was expected that the measures which had been taken would secure the preservation of the peace without any outbreak. With reference to the Irish, information had been received that they had aban doned their intention of creating a disturbance; and Capt. Segrave had notified to the leader of the ticket-of-leave men that he was known, and his pro ceedings were being watched. --- WOLVERHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING. .. _ The preparations have secured peace ; vast num bers of " roughs" assembled, but were kept moving. Gavazzi received an enthusiastic reception, and the Mayor was cheered. POLICE INT ELLIGENCE.—Nov. 19. BOW-STREET.—CnattGEOFPERJIIItYAGAINST A NOVLEMAN.—WiIIiam Henry Tennison Percy, Earl of Limerick, was summoned before Mr. Corrie, to answer the charge of having, on the 25th of July last, in a certain affidavit sworn at Lincoln's Inn fields, committed wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. Wontner, solicitor, of Bucklersbury, appeared for the Earl. Mr. Gifford, counsel for the prosecution, opened the case by stating the circumstance under which the affidavit in question wasmade, during an action pending between his client, Mr. James W. Deal, a shipping agent, as plaintiff, and the Earl of Limerick, defendant. The false allegation was in these words: —" I swear I had left London for Ireland on the 27th of April previous (meaning the 27th April, 1861), and did not return to England for some months." He should show that the earl had been seen at Southampton after the time specified, and the motive for this assertion, therefore, was presumed to be his desire to escape the consequences of disregarding a legal process. The action of Mr. Deal was to reeover the amount due for shipping certain goods from Jersey to England, but there being great difficulty in serving the writ personally upon the earl, a judge's order was obtained pro nouncing the service at his lordship's occasional re sidence e:lfficient• The writ was left there accord ingly by'the procJ.:T server, and an endorsement made en i dorsement that to the effect that it had been served on the noble the subject of lord; and it was in answer to t a;., the a ffi davit was made which form ea the present summons. Formal proof having been given in reference t the affidavit, and also of the service of the writ at the residence of tha earl (which was not a personal service, as the endorsement seemed to imply, Michael Fowler, of Little Bushy Farm, near Wat ford, proved that he was at Southampton on May 31, and saw Lord Limerick by the waterside. He knew his lordship very well, and had some conver sation with Mr. Deal, who was also present, about him. Cross-examined—l was at Southampton four days. I know the exact date from the circumstance of its being the annual fair. 1 was there with some cattle. Mary Mitchell deposed that she was, in 1861, a book-keeper at the Dolphin Hotel, Southampton, and she saw Lord Limerick in the house from the 22d to the 24th of April, and also from the 31st of May to the let of June. Benjamin Goater, a waiter at the hotel, and the porter also, gave evidence to the same effect. They remembered that his lordship was joined by his son, Lord Glentworth, and on May 31st the Countess of ILimerick arrived from Jersey, the defendant being present to receive her, and subsequently accompa nied her to Ryde. In cross-examining these witnesses Mr. Wontner detected one or two discrepancies as to alleged dates, but they were not material to the issue. Mr. J. W. Deal also proved having seen Lord Limerick at Southampton on May 31, and again a month afterwards at the Waterloo station, London. Mr. MP ontner addressed the court at some length for the defence, at once admitting that his lordship had made an erroneous statement or mistake in say ing he was not in England, on the 27th of April, 1861, although when he made the affidavit he was speaking under the firm conviction that such was the fact. But the event was 13 months antecedent, and a man might be well mistaken in his impres sion as to dates after so long an interval. It was not pretended now that the service of the writ was personal, and all his lordship meant to imply was, that he was not in London at the time when it was served at his supposed residence. Mr. Wontner showed the unconscious fallibility of witnesses by reference to the blunders which the witnesses for the prosecution had themselves made during his in genious cross-examination, although no one would suppose them guilty of " wilful and corrupt per jury." He claimed the same consideration for the noble lord, who had made a similar error, and against whom the charge of wilful intention was equally preposterous. Mr. Corrie said there appeared to be some reason for the belief that the mistake was unintentional, and therefore he should dismiss the summons. LAMBETH.—CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER.-- Eliza Somms, aged 20, was brought uP both workhouse, in custodyfrom Lt.m of Sergeant Coxhead, 14 L, and placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott on a charge of wilful murder. The first witness called was Mrs. Ann Dalby, who deposed that the prisoner had been in her ser vice for some time, and when she came to town four months ago she brought her with her and obtained her a situation in t h e house where sheres ahetltiribte lived, in West-square. On the 18th of last month sh e found the prisoner in bed, ver y ill, but this to a bad cold, and said she had something made up at a chemist's f or it, and t h ought she should get better. W:'ness had o cc asi on to r.sgwo u s to she it. On the andctlhoeset, following d seei a n y g something to excite icions she called the p r i soner and asked her could account for hheo admitted that she had given hirth Th t e o prisoner admitted She subsequently admitted that the child was born dead, and she had placed it in the copper, in the washhouse, where it was subsequently found, perfectly lifeless. The primer further f laid she was not aware she was so near her time, and that it had been her intention on receiving her quarter's wages to proceed to her friends in Gloucestershir e, where she had plenty of things for its use, and be confined there. Mr. John W. Wakem, surgeon, of West-square, said that on Tuesday, Oct. 21 last, he was called to the house of Mrs. Davidson, in West-square, and there saw the body of a full-grown male child. He examined it, and observed the head very much bruised, particularly on each side, just over each ear. The navel string was torn about four or five inches from the navel, and left untied. He after wards made a post-mortem examination, and on dividing the scalp found a large quantity of blood effused on each side of the head. He also found the bones of the skull on each side fractured, both the parietal bones and the temporal bone of the right side. On removing the bones there was an effusion of blood between the bones and the membrane of the brain. He examined the chest and found the lungs perfectly inflated and presenting the usual appearances that infants' lungs usually present when they have breathed. He also found the lungs floated in water, showing that the child had breathed after having been born, and it was his opinion that the child had breathed. The other organs of the child were perfectly healthy, and he believed that the child's death was caused by the violence to the head. Mr. Elliott—Do you not think the injuries wer e of such a nature that a fall on a hard substance, : the act of giving it birth, had caused them ? Mr. Wakem—l do not. If injuries had been re ceived in that way they must have been on the- top of the head and not at each side of the ears. I have attended several cases where women have been de livered suddenly while in an upright position, and the child has fallen, and never saw any injury to the child. The bones are so elastic, and the navel string usually acts as a check, And prevents anY injury to the child. I should say considerable vio lence was necessary to produce the injuries I found , but there was no abrasion nor mark of any instra rnent on the skin. Mr. Elliott—Do you think such injuries would have been produced by the hand. in the course of delivery ? Mr. Wakem—l think not ; and the only thing I can suggest to produce such injuries would be hat the woman might have fallen on the chi ld was born. • Mr. Elliott—ls it your opinion that t he violence arts took place before or after death ? Mr. Wakem—Before death certainly, or there would not have been extravasated blood on the p injured. after it Sergeant Coxhead merely deposed to having taken the prisoner into custody, and said the coroner's ver" diet was, that its death had been caused by injuries! but how, or by whom such injuries were inflicted ' there was no evidence before the coroner and jury • to show. The prisoner, who declined offering anything 11 defence, was fully committed to the Central Crialioil Court to take her trial on a charge of wilful murder.
