CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Times' Correspondent.) HILL'S PLANTATION, ON THE PAIIUNKEY RIVER, June 15. I am writing to you from a most lovely spot, on the banks of the beautiful Pamunkey River, w hich, joining at West Point with the Mattapany, forms the noble York River. lam sitting in the veran dah of an old substantial brick house, where Wash ington first met his wife, in the shadow and fra grance of honeysuckles and wild roses. Just above my head a couple of wrens are building their nest, and now and then a humming-bird comes to visit the blooming splendour around me, vying in beauty with large butterflies of exotic appearance. Before me, on an Otaheitan mulberry tree, a mocking-bird is pouring out its sweetest notes, which resemble very often those of the nightingale. Between me and the river is a lawn, with shady trees; and to my right along the bank, extending up to the camp at White House Landing, a thick grove of great beauty, watered by small streanilets running parallel with the river, and consisting of admirable trees, festooned with wild grape and other creepers. Here and there the magnificent white flowers of a mag nolia shine among the green darkness, sending forth with the gentle breeze the most delicious fragrancy. Right before me, Colonel Ingall, Chief of the Quartermaster's Staff, has pitched his tents; and fieldworn, dirty train soldiers have established their households on the lawn. The grove above men tioned has been trampled down by men and horses, and the banks of the pure streamlets have been con verted into quagmires. Along the whole way from here to the White House are camps to the right and left, but not such camps as are an ornament for a landscape, but wretched and beggarly-looking camps, filthy and disorderly, and not improved by whole negro families which have established them selves in tents and huts among the soldiers. Parallel to the river, right up to its banks, where it makes a turn above the White House, runs a railroad, leading to West Point, as soon as the bridge they are working at is finished, and up to the camps before Richmond, which all get their supplies from this large depot at White House, which the people around now call " the town." This town, consisting of shandies and huts, extends more than a mile down to the White House, a property belong ing to the Confederate General Lee. The White House is a simple, storied, country-house, covered with white painted boards, and situate in the middle of a green lawn, with fine trees, and en closed by a fence. Around the house, and a little further down, are a few more outbuildings. Along the river, from where the railroad approaches down to the White House, over which the Union flag is floating, are the different offices belonging to the Quartermaster's department, and also the tent on which is written " Post-office." There are every where floating wharves, and sign-boards direct you to the Mail-wharf, Marine-wharf, &c. Alongside of them are three rows and more of vessels of every description unloading their treasures of salt beef, biscuits, and supplies of clothing and ammunition. Among these vessels are steamers of the most mon strous and most marvellous description, as you can see them nowhere else but in America. Most con spicuous among them are the huge steamers which bear a flag with the inscription " Sanitary Commis sion," and which serve as hospitals. The largest of these is the Elm City, which looks like a floating hotel. Everywhere on the transports you see large numbers of boxes addressed " F. L. Olmsted," who is the Secretary of the Sanitary Commission. The scene on this river and among these ships moving to and fro is most animated and lively. During the last few days several transports arrived with troops and horses and mules, all coming, as I was told, from M'Dowell's army. More than 12,000 men are said to have arrived during last week. The German Steuben regiment from Newport News is now with M'Clellan, and the brigade of General Max Weber, with his famous German Turner regi ment, which I saw when visiting Gosport navy yard, are now also in the advance of that army. To describe the scene at this great depot near White House in such a manner as to give an intelligible picture would require more space than you could give me. Niggers, mules, and immense quantities of hay bales are the most conspicuous features in this Quartermaster town. Pedlars and sutlers are not tolerated, and whenever an audacious fellow establishes a booth or tent in which lemonade, to bacco, gingerbread, and other innocent things are to be had, his career is very shortlived, and his store swept away by order of the Provost Marshal, who protects the few privileged dealers in such things who have settled their affairs with the direct ing powers. The largest of these stores, occupying a good-sized shandy, is kept by an Irishman, who has been twenty years in Ameriea, and calls himself " army commissioner." He is, however, a gentle man who has travelled in Europe, and his business is very extensive and lucrative. In his store you find the most miscellaneous things—cigars and pan taloons, straw hats and pickles, potted lobsters and shoeblacking, tea and toothbrushes—in a word, everything except spirits, which are, however, to be had by officers on special application. Entering this store to buy some cigars, the owner was pleased with my appearance. He knew my name, and very hospitably and kindly offered me his services, introducing me at the same time to some colonels and other officers who were his friends and customers. To him lam indebted for my pre sent lodging, for he took me with him and presented me to the planter, who had to take in some Union people because he was strongly suspected of being a Secessionist. He owns a farm on this side of the river, and another with above 1,000 acres on the other side, which were worked by about 50 slaves, of whom only a few remained, and who for the greater part considered themselves as freemen. Fortunately, there were among those remaining some two or three women, who did the cooking in a kitchen separate from the house; but that was a ll, and the master had to wait on his guests him self. The whole family was on the other farm ; he was alone in his house this side the river, always in fear of being arrested. After having posted my letter yesterday, I saw e n board my ship one of th e captains of t h e two sc hooners w hich were burnt by t h e so-cal l e d " gue rillas" at Garrick's Landing, and also spoke to some intelligent sutlers.Lth eawndholteeaemousntettrryrst: were well e the C r h e icka acquainted with betweentravelled hominy and Paraunky, having at White con stantly. Between the unfinished railway bridge House landing and New Castle, up the Pain unity River, a distance of about 10 miles, Garrick's landi ng, reck on , are two ferries, the nearest being Garn some four or fi ve miles from White House landing. There three or four schooners were lying on Friday afternoon. They were attacked by some 50 or 60 me n—Confederate cavalry—who fired at the crew with carbines and revolvers, killing several people. Th e captain of one of the boats mad e his escape a boat with some of his men, the bullets whistling over their heads . He had the p resence of mind to save his papers. This schooner and another were fired at and burnt. Another lying outside was cut loose, and saved by the captain of another vessel. Almost at the same time another troop of Confederate cavalry, probably belonging to the same body of troops, about 150 men strong, at tacked a train at the railway station about two miles from Garrick's landing, and about two and a-half from that at White House. Some pPopie were killed and taken prisoners, together with a number of waggons, which were burnt. One colonel, who was taken prisoner, escaped. It was said that a strong body of cavalry was roam ing in the rear o f the army, intending to attaek the great depot at White House, and burning the sh ipping there. As to the number of these troops no certain information was to be had, for some estimated them u s high as 4,000, and others at so man? hundreds. Th e y were said to belon g to Stenart's Confederate cavalry; b u t where they c ame from was doubtful Some were of opinion that they belonged to a corps •stan ding against M'Dowell, had been eat off, and tried to reach the army around Richmond, doing as mu ch harm as possible on their way. O thers, how eever, would have that these troops went round the -.right wing of the F ederal army; having been in tiormed by farmers Hying there that there were no Federals to oppose them. They also said—and their statement was so strengthened by that of some e y e • witnesses of the surprise —that some overseers of plantations were with the Confederates serving them as guides. Some planters and other persons re maining on their farms hereabout have been arrested under suspicion of having given information to the Confederates. Among them was a doctor, who came on horseback from Garrick's landing; he was not armed, but he had with him a large dog, which was all over smeared with blood, and raised sus picion. My landlord is afraid that people will think him also involved in this affair, and the sutler living in the house is positive of it, saying that he had been away from home, and that he ought to be hanged. Yesterday night a hospital was attacked and some persons taken prisoners, and medicines - - and other things carried away. I have told you already about the effect of this utterly unexpected attack on the shipping in the river. It produced a similar sensation among the people in the camp near White House and Colonel Ingall's, living near my house, and all the inmates of the latter were horribly excited, if not frightened. This little affair would not be worth mentioning, for it is a thing frequently occurring in camp life before the enemy, but it has some other more serious feature about it, which the correspondents failed to point out. Had this Confederate party consisted, as obstinately stated by some, of guerillas, it would be of no consequence at all, for such might easily be found in every rear of an army, where the dis affected inhabitants are left undisturbed, but they were regular troops, coming from somewhere else, and we may conclude from this that there is a flaw in the position of the army. It is stated positively that the Confederates have received large reinforcements, but from where, Heaven only knows ! Beauregard's dissolved army might have sent reinforcements to different places, and has done so, I believe. There may be truth in his having sent troops to Charleston, to West Vir ginia, and to Richmond. Jackson, in Weat Vir ginia, has been reinforced by 12,000 men, and the army in Richmond has reached, they say, the num ber of 200,000. I think this number to be exag gerated for the purpose of making the War Depart ment the better inclined to send reinforcements to M'Clellan. Casey's division, which was routed at the battle of Seven Pines or Fair Oaks—the learned are not yet in accord on the name—is utterly dis graced and in the rear. M'Clellan's despatch was very severe, and I believe unjust, as I conclude from official and private reports of this battle. The division fought very well, considering the rawness of the troops ; and the fault is with General Keyes, they say, who placed such an inexperienced division in advance. The lies told in the papers about this battle are glorious ; the correspondents vie with each other in a manner which is quite disgust ing to me. There was, for instance, a great deal said about bayonet charges, which were even men tioned in M'Clellan's official reports, and the num ber of dead, who perished by the bayonet were given to a fraction. Now it comes out that among all the thousands of wounded only one bayonet wound occurred. Every experienced officer knows, that real bayonet encounters are very rare, and yet more rare with young troops. There seems to be a particular repulsive power in cold steel with the eyes of determined men behind it. One party gene rally turns tail as soon as he sees the white of the eye. This was at least the experience of the Napo leonic wars, where real bayonet fights were always mentioned as something particular. Ido not think that soldiers have altered so very much since then. I must say I greatly admire the courage and resig nation of these brave American Volunteers. They consider the hardships which they have to undergo to be inseparable from war, and have no idea that the greater part of them is unnecessary, and owing to the ignorance or negligence of their generals, or the scoundrelism of selfish, money-making people. These Volunteers stand what no European army would without revolting. There are hundreds slaughtered by the ignorance or drunkenness of some general, and such a fellow is protected from ignominious dismissal by the testimonial of other fellows. The soldiers are not paid in time, nor do they get what they have a right to demand; bad roads always being the excuse, although bad management ought to be substituted. The river and the railways reach closely up to M'Clellan's army, but notwithstanding this it occurs that whole divisions are for consecutive days without other food than a few wretched biscuits and yet more wretched coffee. For days they have not an ounce of meat; if they even get it it is salt beef, hard as sole leather, and more profitable to the purse of the contractor than to the poor soldier, who throws it despairingly into the swamp in which the imbeci lity of his general has placed him. If there is a necessity for it soldiers may go up to their neck in swamps,l would not object to it; but here they are marched to and fro without purpose, and countermanded every 24 hours, and led across streams and swamps only to form line of battle and to dress properly where neither line of battle nor dressing is required. This war, they say, is no ordinary war, every life taken on each side is a loss to the country, and therefore things ought not to be precipitated, and these slow approaches of General 111‘Clellan are admirable. Well, I must say my opinion is far different, for M'Clellan loses in this way more men than he would by storming the wretched Confederate works. I heard that he was inclined to make short work and to storm, but again this has been contradicted. The general will not risk a battle, which might turn out to be a second and more pernicious edition of Bull Run, and not only endanger the cause of the Union, but also the prospects of the general. That is of course impor tant, and therefore he lets the Volunteers die in the swamps, and goes the more secure way by starving out the Confederates. That I hear is the intention of M'Clellan now, and we must not expect a deci sion for weeks if not brought about by the Confede rates themselves. Fortunately the Confederates are also afraid to bring about a battle, and not ac quainted I hope with the week points in the Federal position and army. To watch this war is disgusting both to an edu cated soldier and to an honest man, for nowhere is to be seen more military stupidity and more dis honesty than in this brave American army. You must not wonder if I get warm and bitter. The whole muddle does not affect me personally in the least, but I cannot help feeling as a soldier and a man. You have not seen the poor fellows in the hospitals or returning from the camps, to die at home of sicknesses which might have been prevented by a little care and a little more honesty. Some that I have seen are, without being ill, emaciated and weak from sheer want. They cannot bear suit able food, from having lived for weeks on biscuits, bad coffee, and swamp water, and breathed the foul and poison ous a i r o f swamp y woo d s during their sle e p, e e am not v er y sen ti men t a l an d no Sybarite eithe r ; b ut my on the hearin g heart aches and tears fill my eyes simple tales of those poor fellows, and looki ng into their emaciated faces. On my wa y ... to this plantation from the camp I gs—a signb oard on saw before m e some tents surrounded with curious thin which was written with large letters, " Drs. B rown and Alexander, Govern ment Embalmers." They are not to embalm the Government, however, b ut only those who require it by the ca re of the Govern ment. My I r i s h gentle man friend w as ac q uainted wi th the do c t or, —l d o er Brown or Al ex not know svh eth ender, but we found him sitting on a mat in his drawers and large diamond pin in the latter shirt, with a ereent- "rake a dri n ka,, muddy-coloured ga ` . • Of whisky tumblers.

The ' doctors told me their principal ingredient for em balming was a kind of liquid glass and gypsum, which hardened to a substance like stone. In this s tate the body would keep for many years , per haps for ever. The bodies looked well preserved, although not very agreeable. The doctors took for embalming a private 25 dols., and for an officer 50 dots. I was told that since the commencement of this war above 2,000 bodies of soldiers had been embalmed and sent home. This was done by Adams's Express, in deal boxes, lined with sheet - zinc. The poor fellow I saw nailed up wore his THE SUN, 14\ 01 q 1J ON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1862. uniform, and his writing-case and portfolio vi -ere laid beside him. With this, and.a bundle of hay older his head and the address on he cover of the box, l ie was sent home to his mourning friends. Ninety degrees in shade. ON BOARD THE MAIL STEAMER GEORGIANA, June 17. I am on my way back to Washington. Up to this morning I have not received the letter promised by General van Vriet, nor an answer from my friend, the Colonel of M'Clellan's Staff. I believe they do not want European eyes there, not because foreign correspondents might give information to the enemy, but because they are perfectly independent from all party interests here and very likely to speak truth and nothing but the truth. I shall however try in Washington the regular way, and hope I shall suc ceed. Having got a pass like other correspondents I shall return to M'Clellan's army. Ido not think I shall be too late, for it is the general impression that weeks will pass before M'Clellan has finished his circumstantial preparations. However the Con federates may attack, and if wise they will do so, just because M'Clellan does not like If you ask me what is my impression in regard to the result, I must candidly tell y ou that I am by no means certain on that point. When Napoleon shut his telescope he could frequently say, " These peo ple—the enemy—are already beaten." M'Clellan is no Napoleon, and after having used his fieldglass he is not much wiser than before. In the battles here everything is guesswork, and military science goes for nothing. In fact, they are ao battles, but only fights on a large scale. One little accident may bring ke alla b o o n u ta mayab af r et o te u ll e t .t a h s i sT b , h a ea d rned a s at rhe t e h r pe a fl t eo nr a et t Bull yhoe sfitatpeople Run. t M'Clellan oatt here who call him a traitor, and M'Dowell also. Nonsense. He is no Republican fanatic, and does not forget that on the other side are not foreign enemies, but people whom he once called friends and brethren. His friends praise him for his forbear ance and care to spill as little blood as possible. To me it seems that he is exorcising the Devil by Beelzebub ; the sword would not devour half as many men as the swamp fever and the negligence in the quartermaster's department does. By people coming from the army—and there are a surprising number of officers going home on fur lough--I hear that the negligence there is very great in every department, and they complain parti cularly about the imperfect arrangements in regard to the wounded. Even now they pick up from the battlefield at Seven Pines not only single dead, who sometimes evidently died by:neglect, but dozens of them. I spoke to many persons of every condition, from the high officer down to the waggoner, and all I hear only confirms my above expressed opinion. There are some wounded and other officers from Blenker's division in town, and I hear from them many interesting details about the battle at Cross Keys. The colonel of the De Kab regiment, which was not in front, went with another regiment as a volunteer, and was shot through his leg, not the breast. Col. von Gilser is here, and hopes to be soon in the field again. About the colonel of the Bth New York Regiment strange stories are told. Leading his regiment against seven regiments of the Confe derates—l hope they were not in buckram—he at once dropped from his horse into a corn field, where he remained. Arriving in hospital, he protested against his being attended before his soldiers, but when the doctors insisted they found no scratch on the colonel, but a rupture which he got by his men trampling on him when advancing over his body. When the soldiers heard of this story they wanted to shoot their colonel ? who, however, hearing the rumour against him, at once left the hospital and joined his regiment. Blenker behaved very well, ' and intended to renew the battle next morning, but was ordered to keep quiet by Fremont. His be haviour in battle has reconciled many of his ene mies. I think Blenker will become a major-general soon. He is expected to arrive here. Old Papa Struve is also here. He was with Necker, the chief of the revolution in Baden in 1848 and 1849. Not being a military man, old Struve entered Blenker's regiment as a private, and is now a very brave and zealous captain. He is a very learned man, with some peculiarities about him. He is a vegetarian, and to look at his healthy face was the best recommendation of the system. However, now he looks horribly altered by all the hardships of that campaign in Western Virginia. He has become so used to bad food and a few biscuits a day that his stomach cannot bear other food. The sufferings of the poor soldiers in Western Virginia surpass even those of M'Clellan's army, and beggar description. General Charles Schurz is brigadier in partibus, and attached to the Staff of Fremont. He has picked out four of the best regiments of Blenker's division, but Blenker said he will give in his resignation if Schurz got them. The Secretary of War is trying all possible means to induce people to enter the army, the ranks of which will become thinner by and by, but the recruit ing goes on very slow ly. No wonder, for the sad tales and faces of the returning poor sick and wounded are not just the sort of thing to induce people to place themselves under the care of blun dering generals, negligent doctors, and roguish quartermasters. 7HE NAVY. VALETTA, July 4.—The last English Marseilles mail left us on the 23d ult., so that nearly 11 days have elapsed since the date of my last letter. Now that the monsoon season is commencing we may expect to have to wait a day or two, or more, for the arrival of the Indian mails, beyond the fixed dates. A rumour is current here, based, I believe, on cor rect information, that a new system is about to be adopted for the outward mails. The overland por tion, it is said, is to be made up in London every Saturday night, instead of as heretofore on the 3d, 10th, 18th, and 26th of the month, and a cor responding alteration in the dates of departure of the heavy portion will of course be simultaneously brought about. The naval news may be summed up as follows .—Her Majesty's iron screw storeship Supply, Master-Commander W. H. Balliston, which lately arrived from Woolwich with stores for this arsenal, left Malta, on return on the 26th ult. ; taking with her condemned stores. The screw cor vette Pelican, 17, Commander P. Brock, took her departure on the same day for Alexandria; and the Neptunus, 86, Capt. G. P. Hornby, after filling up with provisions, sailed on return to Naples on the 30th. The iron paddlewheel sloop Trident, 3, Commander C. J. Balfour, arrived on the 29th from Corfu and Santa Maura, with despatches from the Commander-in-Chief and a mail. The Marlborough, 131, was at Corfu on the 27th ult., having arrived there on the Sunday previous from Zante and Cephalonia ; she had on board Major-Gen. Sir John and Lady Inglis, who accompanied the Admiral in his cruise to the Southern Islands. The screw frigate Amphion, 36, Capt. Gordon, arrived at Corfu on the 23d ult. from Malta, and sailed soon afterwards for Ithaca, which she reached on the 25th. The Lord High Commissioner arrived there the same day in the lonian steamer lonia. The Amphion was to accompany his Excellency to Santa Maura. His Excellency was expected to return to Corfu about the Ist inst. The Queen, 86, Capt. C. Hillyar, arrived at Ithaca on the 26th, under steam from Patras, and was very unexpectedly ordered off to Beyrout. The iron screw troopship Himalaya, Capt. J. Seccombe, with the 2d Battalion 6th Regiment, was hourly expected to Corfu from Gibralter, to relieve the 2d Battalion 2d Regiment, ordered to Gibraltar. The Trident, having sustained some damage to h3r machinery, was unable to take up the last English m je a e i t l ea to as C a orfu, and the little gunboat Growler, under the temporary command of Lieut. Denni- Sht:rnde despatchedz:to wh i ch the Trident i in hherasstbeeaedn. sub jected screw e r e w service in gunboat,f uturhe shouldrn ai I o a a v t e a renders thorough it overhauling.necessary This engines will e be shared by the Alacrity, 4, arrived on the Ist inst, J.

Should she not meet with the Himalaya at Gibraltar, she is to prcceed with them to Eng land. On the same day arrived here from Rhodes the Foxhound, 4, Commander the Hon. A. Hobart. It is expected this vessel after refitting will be de spatched to Corfu. The Ecrew gunboat Surprise, 4, Commander Whyte, is still refitting and under ping repairs, preparatory to being :stationed on the coact of Syria. Lieut. the Hon. J. B. Vivian has been appointed to the command of the Procris, 3, vice Lieut. J. Palmer, promoted. This vessel is to return to Gibraltar. The Malacca, 17, Capt. J. Napier, will, rumour says, also proceed to Gibraltar. The screw frigate DoriE, 32, Capt. Sir F. L. M'Clintock, is still here, having her boilers put in order. The other ships in port ate the receiving ship Hibernia (flag of Rear-Admiral H. J. Codring ton, C. 8.), the little gunboat Boxer, and the Hearty tag. The Medina surveying -vessel, Capt. T. A. B. Spratt, C. 8., is at present busily engaged completing the survey of Malta and Gozo. The Italian steam corvette Tripoli, 3, is the only foreign man-of-war here. The Severn, 51, 500 horse power, belonging to the first-class steam reserve at Chatham, has left the Medway, for Plymouth, and she is to be imme diately brought forward for commission, for service in the East Indies. The Arethusa, 51, 500 horse power, is to be fitted for the first division of the steam reserve, in lieu of the Severn. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. W. G. Annesley to the St. George ; Lieut. F. C. Law to the Resistance ; Lieut. G. Worsfold to the Euryalus, additional, for disposal ; G. Moore, master, to the Majestic; the Hon. E. H. Ellis, midshipman, to the Rinaldo ; J. E. Blasland and C. H. Michaelson, naval cadets, to the Euryalus, supernumeraries, for disposal ; W. H. Sloggett, surg., to the Edgar ; E. M'Sorley, surg., to the Rattler ; P. Comrie and J. Mockridge, assist.-surg., to the Edgar ; B. H. M'Curdy, acting assist.-surg., to the Rattler ; H. Cooper, engineer, to the Rattler; J. H. Brettell, engineer, to the Fisgard, as supernumerary ; R. W. Hulford, super numerary in the Fisgard, promoted to engineer; A. Young, first-class assist.-engineer, to the Rattler; C Deal, second-class assist.-engineer, to the Rattler; H. Benbow, acting second-class assist.-engineer, to the Rattler; W. B. V. Farror, paymaster, to the Edgar; J. R. Horniman and J. Chambers, assist.- paymasters, to the Edgar ; W. A. Dangerfield, clerk, to the Edgar ; H. Dobson, assist.-clerk, to the Edgar ; F. C. Gandell and P. Wood, masters' assists., to the Euryalus, as supernumeraries. THE ARMY. In accordance with orders received from the War office, the whole of the wives and children belonging to the men of the 4th company of Royal Engineers, despatched from Chatham to British North America at the close of last year, have left head-quarters and embarked on board the Adventure, to join their husbands. Fifteen non-commissioned officers of the Indian Engineers who have completed their course of engi neering instruction at head quarters, Chatham, have been placed under orders to embark on board the Sydenham, for Madras. The remainder of the In dian Engineers will shortly embark for Bombay. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-July 9. TRIAL OF MRS. VYSE. The evidence for the prosecution appeared in The Sun of yesterday. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine having addressed the jury for the .defence, called the following wit nesses : Mr. Richard Vine—l am a retired chemist and druggist, and live at Bayswater. lam the uncle of the prisoner, the brother of her mother. I had a brother named Peter. Vine, who committed suicide while in a state of unsound mind. My mother was of a very melancholy disposition, and used to wan der about the roads and lanes crying. A first cousin of mine and other relatives, both on my mother's and father's side, have been placed under restraint. Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—My brother was not married, He had been a chemist and druggist, but had retired. He lived in my house, and committed suicide there. He had met with no disappointment in life. He died from taking prussic acid, and had been before committing the act in a depressed and melancholy state. He had always been rather weak in intellect. Dr. Hood, physician at Bethlehem Hospital, proved that James Aynsherd, a first cousin of the prisoner, on the father's side, was admitted in 1846 to the hospital and discharged uncured. All forms of insanity were hereditary. The kind of insanity of James Aynsherd was what was termed paroxys mal, which was a species of madness that often resulted in suicide or homicide. Mrs. Elizabeth Frampton deposed to various acts of eccentricity on the part of the grandfather of Mrs. Vyse on the mother's side. He was called " Mad Saunders." Mrs. Frick said that the maternal grandmother of Mrs. Vyse once attempted suicide, and another relative was subjected to confinement in her own house on the ground of insanity. Mr. William Dennis said that he had an aunt who was also a relative of the prisoner, who was subject to fits of insanity. Mr. Frick said that Mrs. Jane Taylor of Havi land, a first cousin of the prisoner, was a lunatic. Mr. W. Edney, of Ludgate-street, boot and shoe maker, said he had known the prisoner fo r some time. He made two pairs of boots for the two chil dren. The prisoner was very much interested in their dress and appearance. I always thought that her demeanour towards her children was that of a very affectionate parent. I remember the Monday before the murder. She came to my shop and brought back the two pairs of boots, and appeared very ex cited. She said they were not elegant boots, as she had ordered. She was in a dreadful passio n , an d when I told her I saw nothing the matter with the boots she stamped her foot on the floor and said I was not to answer. She complained about her own boots, and lifted up her dress in a very extraordinary manner, and told me a gentleman had found fault with the toes of her boots. She stood in a very wild state and dashed about the shop. She also said that if she were me she would horsewhip my men. I expressed my opinion to my foreman and shopmen that she was out of her mind. She was gene rally very excitable. Mr. James Spence—l am a draper in St. Paul's Churchyard. On the 22d May I accompanied my wife to Mrs. Vyse's, between one and two o'clock, to purchase a bonnet. Mrs. Vyse was upstairs, and we sent for her. She seemed peculiar, in her manner, and did not seem willing to attend to busines. She also tore a flower out of a bonnet very violently, and dashed it to the ground. There seemed to lie a kind of smouldering fire of temper ready to burst out, and my opinion was that she was not in a proper state of mind. • Cross.e.carained by Mr. Chambers—Mrs. Spence found fault with the bonnet before the prisoner tore the flower from it. Elizabeth Burkitt—l was a servant with Mrs. Vyse for some years. I remember the death of her child, at Surbiton, in 1860. Mrs. Vyse came down when I informed her that the child was ill, and stayed with it day and night. After the death of her child her cond uct was ver y s ingular, a n d on one occasion she threw the tea-things into the fire. She afterwards forgot the occurrence. Cross-examined—M rs. V yse was not intoxicated at the time. In fact she took nothing stronger than milk and water while she was nursing the baby. Dr. George Merritt ; examining surgeon to the Indian troops—l am the medical attendant of the prisoner. After the death of the child Mrs. Vyse became subject to morbid melancholy with occa sional fits of paroxysm. Mrs. Vyse always dressed with taste, and was very ladylike in her demeanour, and appeared almost unduly anxious respecting the health of her husband and children. I recommended her not to leave town, lest the cessation of her usual occupation should increase the melancholy. She is now two or three months advanced in pregnancy. I believe she was in a state of mania at the time the murder was committed. Cross-examined—l ground my opinion as to her mental condition upon several circumstances — namely, her hereditary taint, her irrational im pulses, the deterioration of her health from time to time, and her conduct throughout the affair. I have noticed her rush away in the midst of conver sation with me, without accounting for her conduct. Her manner of conversation was also exciteable,and at times strange. This was before I ceased to at tend her in February last. Dr. Forbes Winslow—l am a physician, and have made lunacy my study for 20 years. I have been in court during the whole of this day. Sergeant 13allan tine—Having heard the evidence, what con dition is your opinion res p ec ti ng her mental con - Mr. Chambers objected to this question, and the Court ruled that it could not be put. Examination continued—Under certain circum- j stances, where I knew there was a hereditary taint, I should suspect that insanity would develop itself. Cross - examined—lt is difficult in ordinary cases to distinguish between a paroxysm of insanity and of ordinary passion. Re - examined—l should take into consideration the other features of the case in forming an opinion. Dr Copland, the author of " Copland's Medical Dictionary," expressed his concurrence with the last witness. This was the case for the prisoner. Mr. Chambers having replied, The learned judge summed up, and the jury found a verdict of "Not guilty, on the ,ground of insanity." The learned judge, therefore, ordered the prisoner to be confined during her Majesty's pleasure. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) TILE HENDON MURDER. Yesterday, upon his lordship taking his seat in this court, James Lawrence, 29, labourer, was in dicted for the wilful murder of Anne Sarah Cox, at Hendon, on the 29th March. He was likewise cbarged upon the coroner's inquisition. Mr. Giffard prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Williams defended. The prisoner, who pleaded not guilty, remained seated during the whole of the trial, and seemed in great pain, his face presenting a most fearfully dis figured appearance. The case, as stated by the learned counse l, an d corroborated by the witnesses, was that the prisoner, who is a labouring man, lived at Mill-hill, H en d on , and the deceas e d also lived there with her mother. The prisoner was paying his addresses to her, and had done so for some time ; and about the period of this occurrence he entertained some feelings of jealousy towards the deceased. For about a week preceding the 29th, the prisoner had lodged in the house with deceased and her mother. Upon the morning of the 29th, about six o'clock, the pri soner, as usual, called the deceased as he went to his work, and also said to Mrs. Bethel, the deceased's mother, "good morning." Shortly after this Mrs. Bethel heard a loud noise, and she got up, but was unable to get out of the room. She then raised an alarm from the window, and a labouring man, named Shayler, who was passing, entered the kitchen of Mrs. Bethel's house, and there saw the deceased girl lying upon her back with a wound in her throat. Some of the neighbours came in and raised her upon the sofa, shortly after which she died. A:double barrelled gun, freshly discharged, was found standing against the copper. The prisoner was then found to have shot himself in the head, causing a fearful lacerated wound, from the effects of which he was for some time in a dangerous state in the hospital. The case for the prosecution having closed, Mr. Sleigh addressed the jury on the part of the prisoner. The learned judge having summed up, the jury retired to consider their verdict, and, after an absence of an hour and a quarter, returned into court and delivered a verdict finding the prisoner guilty of murder, with a strong desire to recom mend him to mercy, in the behalf that although at the time he was responsible for his actions, he was labouring under great excitement, and that he had a belief that there was something wrong about the young woman. Proclamation having been made, The learned Judge put on the black cap, and passed sentence of death in the usual form, holding out no hope of mercy, but promising to forward the recommendation of the jury to the proper quarter. The prisoner was then removed in a sinking state. The jury before leaving signed a petition to Sir G. Grey in favour of a commutation of the sentence. THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ALLEGED JVIIOLESALE POISONING. Yesterday Constance Wilson, alias Catherine Taylor, who stands charged with causing the death of Mrs. Ann Atkinson, a respectable married wo man, by the administration of poison, was again placed at the bar of the Lambeth police -court be fore the Hon. Mr. Norton for further examination. Mr. Chipperfield again appeared for the prosecu tion, and Mr, Neale for the prisoner. The court was again much crowded. Mr. Chipperfield, addressing the magistrate, said that he had been in communication with the Home office, and had ascertained that Dr. Taylor desired further time for the purpose of making the analysis of the viscera of the deceased, and it was also thought some further delay was necessary for the ends of justice. In the case at present before the court he would only proceed to call one witness to day, and then apply for a further remand. Mr. Leonard Dixon Lund was then called into the witness-box, and sworn. He deposed that he resided at 7, Stanhope-street, Edgware-road, and that he was the salesman of a wholesale furniture warehouse. The deceased Mrs. Atkinson was his aunt, and he first heard of her being ill on the Thursday following, after her arrival in London. Mr Chipperfield—How did you first hear of your aunt's illness ? Witness—The prisoner called at the place of busi ness at which I am engaged on the day before my aunt died, and told me that my aunt, Mrs. Atkinson, was in town, staying at her house, and that she was very unwell, and had been so ever since her arrival. I asked the prisoner if she had written to Mr. Atkinson about it, and she replied " Yes, she had telegraphed for him, and he was in town." Mr. Norton—Did the prisoner say what the nature of your aunt's illness was ? Witness—She did not She merely said that she was very ill, and had been so ever since she had been in town ; but did not say what was the matter with her. Mr. Chipperfield—State to the magistrate what else passed betweeu the prisoner and yourself on that occasion. Witness—She asked me to return with her to her house in Loughborough-street in a cab; but being rather busy at the time I could not do so. Mr. Chipperfield — Did you afterwards go to the prisoner's house ? Witness—Yes, I went there on that same evening, and there saw my aunt, who was very ill indeed. Mr. Norton—Do you recollect the prisoner say ing anything to you when you got to her house, and before you saw your aunt? Witness—l have no doubt she spoke to me; but I do not now recollect what she said. Mr. Chipperfield—Go on, and state what next occurred ? Witness—Shortly after I got there I went up stairs and saw my aunt, who appeared to me to be in a very low state. She was breathin g s l ow l y , an d appeared to take very little notice of anything. Mr. Chipperfield—Did she recognise you ? Witness—Yes, she knew me, and called me by my name. Looking at me she said, "Poor Dick," alluding to an observation of my second name of Dixon, by which I was familiarly known by the family. Mr. Norton—Did she at that time say anything to you about her being in danger? Witness—No, sir. Mr. Norton—Did she say anything to you about her having been robbed at Rugby ? Witness—Not a word. Mr. Norton—Did she speak to you about money matters ? Witness—No, sir. Mr. Chipperfield—When you first saw your aunt was she lying quiet ? Witness—No, sir; she appeared to be rather rest less, and was not quiet the whole of the time I remained at the prisoner's house, about three hours or three hours and a half, and was in and out of my aunt's room three or four times. Chipperfield—Did you observe 2 any particu lar symptoms while you were there . Witness—Yes ; she retched a great deal, and seemed to be suffering considerably. Mr. Chipperfield—During your stay on this occasion had you any conversation with the pri soner, and if Sc, what was it about ? Witness—l had some talk with the prisoner, but I cannot state that she said anything particular about Mrs. Atkinson. Mr. Chipperfield—Or about the alleged robbery at Rugby ? Wi tness —No ; I did not he ar anything of that until after my aunt's death. Mr. Norton—Did you see your aunt take any thing during the time you were in the room ? Witness—No, I do not recollect, but on the fol lowing day I do recollect her taking something. Mr. Chipper field—While you were there on the first evening did you leave the room in consequence of anything the prisoner did or said ? Witness—Yes, the prisoner beckoned to me to leave the room twice or three times. I thought she wanted to attend to my aunt, and I left the room accordingly. Mr. Chipperficld—Was the retching going on then ? Witness—Yes ;it would be about the time the retching would be going on. Mr. Chi PP erfielo—llid you go to the prisoner's I house the next day P Witness—y es ; I went there about five o'clock in the evening, and again saw my aunt, who appeared to be very weak, and as I thought dying. She said it was a hard struggle, and would see her to her far end. She complained of thirst and beekoned for water. The prisoner was in the room and assisted in getting water or d r i n k w h en my aunt beck one d for it, and I remember the prisoner taking Mrs. Atkinson's feet off the bed and placing them on the floor. This was because my aunt was very restless, and wished her feet to be moved. I supported my aunt in my arms, but previous to doing so I noticed that the holster had been taken away, and my aunt's head was lying very low. I could not, hear to see my aunt lying in such a position, and complained of it, when the prisoner said it would oLly prolong her suffer ings, and that I should let her be as she was. I, however, sat beside my aunt and held her in my arms until she was quite dead. Mr. Atkinson was in the room up to within half an hour of my aunt's death. He was either carried out of the room or walked out, I do not know which. Mr. Norton—Were there any remarks made by the prisoner about Rugby that you can remember P Witness—The only remarks I remember was that " My aunt had been taken ill and robbed at Rugby ;" but these remarks were made on the Saturday, the day following her death. Mr. Norton—State, as nearly as you can remem ber, what was said. Witness—The prisoner mentioned about Mrs. Atkinson having been robbed at Rugby, and that she was taken ill there ; that she was going to the water closet, and that some female followed her, and that on coming out, a gentleman, who was standing by asked Mrs. Atkinson if she had lost anything; that Mrs. Atkinson felt, and found that she had lost her pocket. The gentleman pointed out the person who followed her, and said that she had it. That Mrs. Atkinson spoke to the female, who gave her the pocket, and said she was keeping or saving it for her. Ido not remember that the prisoner said anything more. Mr. Norton here remarked that this went on to show that the deceased had not been robbed at Rugby. The witness further stated that the prisoner, and the man Taylor, who was living with her at the time, accompanied the remains of his aunt and Mr. Atkinson from her house to the railway station, where he (witness) met them, and accompanied the corpse to the cemetery. In cross-examination by Mr. Neale, the witness stated that he saw Dr. Nairne in attendance on the deceased on the Friday, the day of her death. He did not see the doctor on the Thursday. Mr. Chipperfield said that this was all the evi dence he proposed to adduce to-day, and should re quest a remand. He wished at the same time to state, that there were two other cases in which the prisoner was implicated at present undergoing in vestigation. The one was that of a Mr. Peter Peter Mewer, a master mariner, who died in Oct., 1854, and with whom the prisoner had lived as housekeeper at Boston, in Lincolnshire. In his case an inquest had already been opened, and the Superintendent of the Boston Police, Mr. Waghorn, was now in court, having been despatched to Lon don with portions of the body of the deceased, for the purpose of being subjected by Professor Taylor to'chemical tests. Mr. Waghorn here handed up to his worship a local journal, containing a report of the proceed • ings at the inquest as far as they had proceeded, and especially pointed out the evidence of Mrs. Attershale, who had attended the late Mr. Mewer as nurse for ten days before his death. That witness, in her evidence, said the deceased was always worse at night after ten. He was always sick and purged at night, and complained of pains in his stomach and head. The last night he lived he was decidedly worse, and he was almost inces santly sick and purged. The witness proved that she never gave the deceased food or medicine her self, but that Mrs. Wilson herself always admini stered them. No one was allowed to come to see him. He always said he was worse after taking tea, and that he should never like tea any more if he got well. There was no one in the house to give him tea but Mrs. Wilson. The other case was that of Mrs. Soames, with whom the prisoner had lived, and who died in 1856, under very similar circumstances to the case under investigation before his worship. The prisoner was then remanded to a future day, and was removed from the bar. MURDER AND SUICIDE AT SHAD WELL. Yesterday evening an inquisition was taken be fore Mr. John Humphreys, coroner, in the large dining-room of the Albion Tavern, High-street, Shadwell, on the bodies of Ramon Capele Vila Roca, a Spaniard, aged 30, and Leonora or Honora Scan nell, aged 24 years, a woman of the town. The tragedy which led to the investigation occurred in a brothel, kept by a woman named Ker sig, at No. 12, Albert-square, Albert-street, High street, Shadwell, on Saturday afternoon last. The Spaniard, a bricklayer, who came to this country from the Havana six weeks ago, murdered the woman Scannell, a native of Ireland, and directly afterwards shot himself. Mr. George Allison. inspector of the K division, and a large body of police were in attendance to preserve order. Margaret Kersig, a native of Germany, said that she kept the lodging-house, No. 12, Albert-square, Shadwell. The deceased, Leonora or Honora Scannell, had been lodging with her for seven weeks. The Spaniard Roca had been staying with the deceased Scannell for four weeks. On Saturday afternoon last Scannell called to her and said, "Do come upstairs and turn him out of the house, for I cannot clear up nay room." The Coroner—Did you talk to him about leaving before Friday or Saturday ? Witness—The deceased woman told me on Satur day she thought he had no more money, for she had not received any of him for a week. When I was called upstairs on Saturday afternoon I said to the Spaniard, " Why don't you leave the place ?" He said " All right ; wait 10 minutes, and I'll find her plenty of money." The witness, after detailines some irrelevant matters, said, "I told the Spaniard not to bring any pistols to me, and left the room. I had got half way downstairs when the girl called out lam stabbed ! I am stabbed !' I made an alarm, called for the police, and left the house. I ran into the street. The girl fell down the stairs before I left the house. The Spaniard heard Leonora say she was stabbed before I left the house. He had a pistol and a dagger in his hand when I was called upstairs. He presented a pistol at me. I believe the deceased Spaniard had been drinking on Saturday; he was not quite drunk, nor quite sober, In answer to further questions by the Coroner, the witness said the Spaniard kicked the girl down the stairs. She believed that kick caused the girl to fall on her head at the bottom of the stairs. She returned in half an hour, and found Roca and Scan nell both dead. The Spaniard was very fond of the girl. They often quarrelled about other men. The Spaniard was very jealous of the girl. The deceased woman was a prostitute. In answer to questions by the jurors, the witness said the Spaniard brought home about £24, of which the deceased might have had about £5. Mary Lacey, an old Irish woman, who lived as servant at the house No. 12, Albert-square, gave evidence in confirmation of the last witness, and of jealousies, suspicions, and quarrels between the de ceased persons. The girl was anxious the Spaniard should leave her several days before the murder and suicide, but he would not do so, and said she should not form an intimacy with any other man, and that he had plenty of money to give h er . About three o'clock on Saturday the deceased woman tell at the bottom of the stairs into wit- The Coroner—Did you ness's arms, and said "I am a dead woman !" see the Spa n i ar d sta b h er? Witness—He was behind the girl with a dagger in one hand and a chair in the other, While the girl was in my arms he struck her with the dagger seve ral times —two or three times at least. They were all in front of her person. The Spaniard said he would not kill me, but he would kill her and kill himself afterwards. In answer to a juror the witness said the deceased man did not spend more than £6 upon the woman Scannell during the four weeks he was with her. The Spaniard was jealous of a Portuguese seaman who used to visit Honors. Robert Smith, a police-constable, No. 253 K, said --I went to the house, No. 12, Albert-square, on Saturday afternoon. The deceased Spaniard was standing at the street door with a pistol in one hand and a dagger in the other, and I told him to lay them down. He would not, and said, ," I will shoot you. I blow my head off—l shoot one." I asked him again to lay them down. He refused to do so. I struck at him with my staff; which hit the doorframe. He shut the door, bolted it, and fastened himself in. He ran upstairs and opened the window. He looked out, and the mob threw oyster shells and stones at him, He then drew back, and in a moment after wards I heard the report of a pistol. I forced a way into the house, and entered it with other constables. The deceased woman was lying at the foot of the stairs quite dead. On entering the room upstails ..i l discovered the b o d y o f t h e d eceased Span i ar d. His feet were t owar d s the door, and his hea d was in a was a pool of blo o d near t h e fire-grate. There single ,ba rre ll e d p i sto l , which I no w produce dagger stained with blood by his side. The w en© bespat tered pic a t n u d r e a s in the room, the wiling, and the walls tered with bl oo d, th e t ee th, and portions of the jaw of the deceased Spaniard Mr. John Ros s , physician and surgeon, High street, Shadwell,—l was called to the hous e No. 12, Albert-square,Shatlsevyeel. rr l, onhSeatlouwrdearyjaawfteorf noon, I saw two bodies h was bl own off, and a portio n o f th e the Spaniard upper jaw was c .

There was were the back which p uncture d t h e l e f t lung. aH wounde r clothes n There was a large gas h on t h e upper shoulder, which also punctured the lung, and there wero three other stabs ; one had penetrated the c hest, and another the heart. There was also a wound on the hand. Death was instantaneous. Wm. Hunt; the beadle of Shadwell, produced a trunk containing some linen and wearing apparel, which he found at a boarding-house, No. 187, St. George-street, alias Rateliff-high way, where the deceased Spaniard had hired an apartment before he fell in with the woman Scannell. He also took from the pockets of the Spaniard some percussion caps, gunpowder, and a silver sixpence. Roca's trunk was produced. It contained the ordinary articles of a man's wardrobe. John Jose Leon, the landlord of the house in St. George-street, said that when the deceased came to lodge with him, on the 27th of May, he was well supplied with clothes, and told him he had Spanish dollars to the amount of £240. The witness could not say from his own knowledge whether that was true or not. Other witnesses were examined, who threw no light on the tragical affair. The police of the K division produced two daggers found in the house where the deceased per sons were living. One of them was 'stained with blood. The police also found two pistols. One was a single barrelled pistol with which Roca had shot himself, the other a double barrelled pistol, was dis covered under a bed. A constable named Whisson also produced por tions of the Spaniard's jaw found in the room where he shot himself, and said the room was bespattered with blood. Mr. Ross said the bullet with which Roca shot himself passed through the tip of the man's nose, and lodged in the ceiling. He produced it. The learned Coroner summed up at great length, and The Jury returned a verdict " That Leonora, otherwise Hon ora, Scannell was wilfully murdered by Ramon Capele Vile Roca, who afterwards com mitted suicide by shooting himself with a pistol." The recorded verdict stated that the suicide of the deceased was by his " own act," which amounted, in fact, to a verdict of felo de se, or self-murder. The Coroner issued his warrant for the burial of the body of the murdered woman, and said he should not at present issue any warrant for the burial of Roca. It was understood to be the wish of the jury that the law relating to the burial of self murderers should be carried out. COUNTRY MA RAI. 2S. ..,. ,b,.. NEWARK—WEDNESDAY.

THE ISLINGTON DOG Suow.—Some excitement was caused in Leeds on Monday by the rumour that Mr. T. D.

Sir,—l regret having to inform you that owing to the heavy losses Mr. Thomas Dawkins Ap pleby, of this town, cheese and bacon factor, has sustained, he is compelled to suspend payment. lam therefore di rected to call a meeting of his creditors, to be held at the Griffin Hotel, Leeds, on Friday next, the 11th instant, at 12 o'clock at noon, when Mr. Appleby will submit a state ment of his affairs to the meeting, and be prepared to take such steps as shall be considered advisable for the benefit of his creditors.—l aai, sir, yours most obediently, WILLIAM CLARKE, 3, Bank -street." It is stated that Mr. Appleby's last speculation--the Dog Show at Islington—resulted in a considerable deficiency, and to this cause, amongst others, his difficulties are described.—Leeds Mercury.
