Soon after the opening of the Marylebone Police-court a constable of the S division made known to Mr. Mansfield the fact of a man having at six this morning murdered a young woman named Bettel, by shooting her through the neck with a gun, and thereby causing her instant death. He afterwards shot himself in the head, and blew off the left jaw, as also a greater portion of his cheek. The con static, who had hoard the report, rushed instantly to the spot, and found the man, whose name our reporter has not yet been able to ascertain, lying in a pool of blood, with the gun, a double-barrelled one, by his side, and on a question being put to him by the officer, he replied in a faint voice, " I could not help it." The shocking occurrence took place near tho Adam and Eve, Mill Hill, Hendon. It appears the parties were sweethearts, and resided next door to each other in cottages adjacent to the public house alluded to. Tho murdered young female was convoyed to her own home, and the man himself was taken to Middlesex Host ital, where, from the frightful nature of his injuries he remains, without the slightest chance of his recovery. . Up to three o'clock this afternoon the man was still alive. LAT I L V IELLIGENCE.—(7his Day) SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) SMITH, BARRY, AND CO.-A CURIOUS QUESTION. COLLINGRIDGE V. MAGULLICAN. . _ This was an action to recover for some advertisements inserted. Plaintiff's clerk produced the order, which purported to be signed by " Smith, Barry, and Co." His Honour—Well, defendant, did you sign this ? Defendant (looking at the document with both eyes)— Well, it is very like my waiting, but I don't think I could have signed it, as I was not in the firm then. (Laughter.) His Honour—ls there any person here who saw the order signed A respectable-looking young man said—l saw defendant sign the order. Defendant—l say I did not. The firm of Smith, Barry, and Co. was then called over the coals, and one of the plaintiff's witnesses said that, when ho applied for payment, he was referred to some person in the Queen's Bench. (Roars of laughter.) His Honour—Who is Mr. Smith ? Witness—l was always introduced to the defendant as Mr. Smith. (Laughter.) Defendant —I deny it, and beg to say that my name has been in the Directory for ten years. lam not liable for this debt. His Honour—You see, defendant, that if, in consequence is a nothing to prevent of memberabad persons, consisting of 14 good and one bad, getting £15,000 worth of goods, and of a firm, a firm debtsot. l ght be invalidated, ther e izi s sending the bad partner through the court. (Hear, hear.) I must believe the witness for the plaintiff. Defendant—lf your honour will adjourn the case, I can produce Smith. (Laughter.) His Honour—Oh, no; it might be inconvenient to have him hero. (Renewed laughter.) I am inclined to think we have Mr. Smith here. and said the action was a a D pi o t f e e f n a d l a a n n t e p . roteste_d against this, His Honour considered that plaintiff had made out his case, and gave plaintiff a verdict with costs. Some stir having been made about the Saturday sittings, his Honour inquired of each suitor if Saturday was an inconvenient day, and at least eight out of ten said it was the most convenient day in the week, the legal profession in a body speaking strongly of the convenience. POLICE INT.ELLI 9 B2V6:.—( This Day.) BOW STREET. . ..._ orge Lockyer, was placed un eed y a o t gm the bar,an man, namedcharged w il ith en s r t y eal 6 in e g three £lO Bank of England notes. The prisoner, it appears, was a footman in the service of Mr. Wilkin, of 10, Spring gardens, and in consequence of certain circumstances, he left the service in October. Shortly after that he was taken into custody for obtaining a situation by means of a false character and was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. On the expiration of that sentence he was again taken into custody and charged with stealing the three £lO notes. Mr. - Peach said—l am clerk to Mr. Wilkin, of 10, Spring-gardens, who is receiver to the Crown for the Principality of Wales. The prisoner was employed as a domestic servant in the establishment. On the evening of the Bth of October I placed three £lO n o t es i n my desk, and on my return the next morning I found they had been taken away. The prisoner had access to the office. The numbers of the stolen notes were 09,427-8-9. Mrs. Mary Davis, the wife of Mr. Davis, baker, of 19, George-street, Portman-square, said—l changed a £lO note for the prisoner on the 16th of October last. I did not know the prisoner. I took him to be a servant of a custo mer of ours. The man was dressed in plain clothes, and wore a Glengarry cap. He was not in my sight more than a minute. I was first shown to the prisoner to day in a room adjoining the court. here were other persons present I had no description of the prisoner. The officer first told me he had got the man who had changed the note, and then I was brought down to see if I could recognize him. I told the officers I was not sure that I should be able to recognize the man. lam quite sure the man I changed the note for wore a Scotch cap. The people were all sitting round the room when I was taken in to recognize the prisoner. I gave a descrip tion of the man who changed the note. The reason the name of the party changing the note is not on the back is that the prisoner took up the gold very hurriedly and left the shop. The number of the note changed at the shop of this witness was 09,428. In answer to the magistrate, witness said the gentleman who took the note from her husband placed his (Davis's) name on the note. Mr. Carrie said it would be necessary that the gentleman should be in attendance. Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the prisoner, contended that his client had been unfairly treated. Hs was wearing a hat when he was taken into custody, and because he had a carpet bag, in which was a Glengarry bonnet, the hat was taken from him, and was compelled to wear the Scotch cap. He did not consider such a course at all fair. Mr. Corrie thought the officer had done no more than his duty, and said be should remand the prisoner for further evidence, which he was informed would be produced on the next occasion. The witnesses, however, who had given their evidence to-day might sign their depositions, and that would dispense with their attendance when the prisoner was again brought up. BRITISH POSSESSISONS.

OBTAINING A SITUATION BY MEANS OP FALSE REHM SENTATIONS.—CONVIOTION.—Richard Hazell, a barman, was charged as follows:—Mr. WM. Michael Davis, of•the Britannia, Portland street, Soho, said he advertised for a barman, and the prisoner applied for the situation, and his daughter, who managed his business, he being infirm, en gaged him, he representing that he had been 18 months in his previous situation, but from what he (Mr. Davis) had since learnt, he had only been out of prison three months for a similar offence. Mr. Davis's daughter said she managed her father's business, and the prisoner applied for the situation, stating that he had left his former one at Mrs. Martindale's, Sey mour Chambers, Duke-street, Adelphi, seven or eight weeks, and that his name was Charles Stephens. He also said that ho had a good character, and only left because there was no further occasion for his services. Mrs. Martindale gave her a good account of Charles Stephens, and in consequence she took the prisoner into her employ. Mrs. Susan Martindale, of Seymour Chambers, said she had had a servant named Charles Stephens, and he left her seven or eight weeks since, but he was not the prisoner, who wa an entire stranger to her. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, who appeared fcr the prisoner, said he had no answer to the charge, the Magistrate remarking at the same time that it was a very bad one. Mr. Thomas Brown, wine merchant, of 34, Great Quebec-street, Montagu-square, said the prisoner had been in his employ, and all the while he was with him he robbed him of about a day. He charged the prisoner, and he was convicted of the robbery at Clerkenwell. The prisoner was ordered to pay a penalty of £2O, or to be imprisoned for three months. TELEGRAPHIC Co MMUNICA TION WITH IRELAND. —A telegram received last evening states that the Electric new submarine d c an ab d le for International ng England leaph with suc cessfully laid down between the coasts of P em b ro k e an d Wexford in perfect working order. The ca bl e, manufac turedconnecti TegrComprirerlan has been a by Glass, Elliott, and Co., is 63 miles in length, con tains four conducting wires insulated with gutta percha and other materials on the latest improved methods, and is pro tected by 12 heavy iron strands, the total weight being about 6k tons per mile. The novelty introduced in the manufacture has been the coating of the entire cable with a composition (Bright and Clark's patent) for the purpose of protecting the iron corrosion and decay. The adoption of this principle is likely to have a mostimportantinfluence on the further progress of submarine telegraphy as tending to ensure the durabiltty of cables for an indefinite period, and to render investments of capital in such undertakings of permanent value. The Electric Telegraph Company purpose using the same composition in the cable about to be laid between E ng land and Ilelland. Mr. Canning, of the firm of Glass, Elliott, and Co, : , ably sdperintended the paying out of the Irish cable froa the steamer Berwick.

The betting fraternity who used to congregate in such large force in Bride-lane, Fleet-street, but who were ultimately driven out of that neighbourhood by the city police after a stout resistance, have now found quarters in a less desirable part of the town—namely, in Castle-street, Long-acre, just at the junction of the two parishes of St. Martin's-in-the- fields and St Giles's-in-the-fields. At this spot a crowd of some hundreds of betting sharps assembled yesterday. All of them were provided with little memorandum books, in which they carefully entered their transactions, and, judg ing from the animated conversation which took place, and the eagerness which was displayed, it appeared that busi ness was thriving. The spot alluded to is just under the dark shade of Combo and Delafield's brewery, Here the betting men are not molested by the police, There was only one police officer present at the busiest time yesterday.

Betting-3 to lon Violet and 7to 2 agst Everlasting. After going a few strides Everlasting went to the front and led to the turn for home, whore Pearson sat back in his saddle and endeavoured with all his might to stop her, it evidently not being "Everlasting's day ;" Violet then had no difficulty in accomplishin g the task, as she came in an easy winner by four lengths. Everlasting came past the post third, Defender having been beaten off all the way. The Attingham Stakes (handicap) of 3 sovs each, with 30 added, from 3-yr-olds and upwards ; winners extra. On mile.

Betting -7 to 4on Abron, 4to 1 agst Commander, sto 1 asst Acton. The favourite went off with the lead, having Commander and Sweet Jessamine in the rear, and in that position the two remained, for it was evident that neither was wanted ; for never (in the palmy days of Shrewsbury) was there ever seen a more deliberate piece of Captain Armstrong's riding than on this occasion ; for Pearson, on Commander, when rounding the bottom turn, held his horse in with all his might, whilst Locklin, on Captain Christie's filly, ap peared to be doing all he could to keep in the rear ; thereby leaving the race in Abron's favour, who won in the easiest manner by a length; Kington and Cygnet were the two I next, the others nowhere. The Shropshire Handicap of 15 sovs each, with 100 added, for 3-yr-olds and upwards ; winners extra ; certain al lowances. Second horse to save his stake.

About three miles and a half. Over the New Course. Mr. B. Land's Duhallow, 6 yrs, lOst 111 b (Mr. Martin) 1 Mr. S. Jacob's Glautias, aged, 9st 41b (Headland) 2 Romeo also ran. Betting-5 to 4 agst Duhallow, 7to 4 agst Glautias, 2to agst Borneo. The three ran abreast to the first fence opposite the cow shed on the far side of the course, which Duhallow cleared slightly in advance of Rome, Glautias half a length in the rear; in the above order they cleared the hurdles and passed the stand, Romeo dwelling on leaping over his fences, and losing thereby several lengths ; on rounding the Red House turn the three again took close order, and went along the bottom of the course and out of sight side by side. On again reappearing Glautias was second, Romeo several lengths behind. At the stiff fence opposite the half-mile post, Romeo came to grief, dislodg ing Bennett, who afterwards remounted hint and walked him into the paddock. After this Duhallow still continued with a slight lead until entering the straight, where the light weight went;up to Duhallow, and a fine race ensued, each maintaining his position, stride by stride, past the incicsure, to within half a daze' , strides of the chair, when Headland dropped his whip, and Glautias at once appeared to compound, Duhallow thus gaining the fiat of the judge by a head. The Hunt Stakes of 5 soya each, for hunters; winners and thoroughbreds to carry extra. To be ridden by gentle- men or farmers, with certain allowances. About two miles.

The favourite laid off until half-way up the straight, where he came to the front, and won easily by three lengths ; Capsicum was beaten off. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FRIDAY. The only change on the Northamptonehire Stakes was the slight advance of most of the favourites. Rapparee was not quite so firm, but no higher offer than 9 to 1 was made. Nothing was done on the Earl Spencer's Plate. For the Chester Cup, 20 to 1 was booked about Simla to win a few hundreds. For the Two Thousand Guineas, The Marquis was in request; and we assume, as a consequence, Old Calabar receded. Towards the conclusion, offers were made to take 9 to 1 about either of them.

Mr. Louis Lucas, a gentleman well known for his scientific attainments, a few days ago received a select circle of visitors at his house, to exhibit and explain the principle of an apparatus of his own invention, by which a physiological fact of great importance is rendered apparent, viz., the direct action of the living frame on the magnetic needle. The apparatus itself is of extraordinary simplicity. A single element of Bunsen's battery has its poles in communication with an electro mag netic bobbies : surmounted by a graduated disc, bear ing a magnetic needle which oscillates freely round its centre, as in the coimon compass. This part of the apparatus is protected by a glass shade; the plate may be raised and lowered at pleasure by a wheel and rack. The conducting wires, after com municating with the bobbin, branch 012 t towards the operator, and are connected together by A loose metal chain. The apparatus being in this state, the needle remains perfectly quiescent, unti4 the operator takes hold of the chain either with one hand or both, when the needle at once begins to move, describing arcs of from 10 to 90 degrees. No principle hitherto admitted into physical science can account for this strange phenomenon, and we are compelled to admit a physiological action ca pable of producing such motion. The experiment was varied in many ways in our presence, and we were ourselves allowed to test our individual power on the needle. That the cause of the mo tion was of a physiological nature was further proved by the circumstance that the oscillations of the needle varied in intensity according to the persons i t t b tranquil lityex- perimenting, and even according as y as the same per son might be differently a ffs c e p t et i d b e il l y orf th ene 'on such different stat es naturally modifying the su system. Stranger sti ll, somo persons present pro ee rvou or a warm discosat duced the oscillations by merely touching the chain with a glass rod about two metres in length, glass being, as our readers know, a non-conductor. What ever explanation may hereafter be given of Mr. Lucas's discovery, one fact seems even now indis putable, na mely, that the pu human body may directly influence the needle; L consequences may be evolved therefrom time alone can show.— Galignani. According to the Journal de _Frankfort, the plenipotentiaries of all the states on the banks of the Rhine are to assemble at Coblentz on the 7th April, in order to decide on the definitive measures connected with the con struction of the projected bridge over that river. CASIPDEN-110USE. Although the pressure of the parliamentary sea son precluded any immediate notice, so interesting a relic of former times as Campden.house,Kensing ton, cannot be permitted to pass away without our devoting a small portion of space to its many his torical and personal associations. The readers of our impression of last Monday learnt that on the morning of the previous day a fire broke out in that ancient building, and in the course of a few hours left nothing standing but the shattered walls; but perhaps few were aware of the value which the old house possessed in the eyes of antiquarians. Those who are acquainted with the neighbourhood called Campden-hill—a tract of undulating grouted lying between Kensington and Notting-hill, and. doted about with comfortable mansions standing in a wooded park, though somewhat spoiled of late years by the inroad of smart new villas—must have ob served the picturesque and venerable red. brick structure, which is now all but obliterated. With its high and in some places ancient garden walls, its trees, and its greensward, it looked like what it was—a real old English country hall; for, at the time it was built, it must 'have been in the close proximity of fields. Two hundred and fifty years have passed since Sir Baptist Hickes, a wealthy silk mercer of Cheapside, founder of Hickes's Clerkenwell, and afterwards created by Tames I. Viscount Campden, erected the mansion,which was ultimately called after his title, for the date is said to be about 1612. Th e C ampdens i n t h e c i v il war of next reign sided with the King,and the third Viscount was obliged to compound with the commissioners of sequestration appointed by the Commonwealth, who for a time took the house for their official resi dence. The chagrined nobleman, however, after wards enjoyed what he as a royalist must have con sidered full compensation for his injuries; for, on. the Restoration, he had the nonour to entertain Charles 11. at supper, when doubtless the walls which are now but a line of rains echoed with a roaring carouse, kingly wit, and courtly laughter. The third Earl of Lindsay, one of the most truly chivalrous and devoted followers of Charles 1., and the father-in-law of the third Lord Campden, died in the Kensington mansion, which in the next generation was let to Princess, afterwards Queen Anne. Here she resided for sometime with her husband, Prince George of Denmark, and her poor little sickly son the Duke of Gloucester, who, after being first absurdly pampered and then treated with ignorant severity by his weak-minded parents, died of water on the brain. In the pampering days he was allowed to command a regiment of boy sol diers, duly equipped with all the instruments of war, whom he would marshal on p'arade, riding at their head on a pony, and whom be was empowered to punish when they committed any breach of dis cipline, by setting them on a wooden horse. The Princess made an addition to Campden -house at the western end, which is now regarded as a separate dwelling, and was formerly called Little Campden- House. It is at present known as the Elms, and is occupied by Mr. Augustus Egg, R.A. This build ing also is of great size, and, with its substantial old-fashioned look and surrounding leafiness, seems a fit abode for an artist. It suffered to some ex tent in the late fire, but the flames were checked. before they seized on the main body. Campden-house in the year 1704 came into the possession of the Dowager Countess of Burlington, and her son Richard Boyle, afterwards Earl —not the great Boyle, but a man of intellect and taste. The mansion was subsequently the property of the Whig lawyer and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lan caster, Lord Lechmere, who is now chiefly remem- bered in connexion with a mock-heroic ballad, called "Duke upon Duke," and attributed both to Gay and Swift. In this ballad we read of " Campden•house so high," and find many other pleasant memorials of the neighbourhood. In time this " house so high," the sometime residence of royul personages of viscounts, countesses, and earls, ca:no to be a fashionable boarding-school for young ledies, and used to .be visited by witty George Selwyn, who went there to see a girl in whom he took an inte rest, and who received a fortune from him and another from the libertine Duke of Queensberry, both of whom conceived they bad a claim to be con sidered her father. The mansion was at one time somewhat modernised, probably in the last century ;- but in the main it was the original structure of Sir Baptist Hickes. Of late years it has come again into notice, as the residence of the unenviably famous Colonel Waugh, and as the scene of some illustrious private theatricals, in which many lite rary celebrities of our day have acted for charitable objects. In the garden there was once a remark able caper tree, which endured the open air of our forbidding climate for nearly a century, and, though unsupplied with artificial heat, produced fruit every year. The house itself has now followed the tree into extinction, and the lover of antiquity has sustained a loss which he will not speealy cease to regret. THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT RAILWAY. The inquiry into the circumstances connected with the fatal accident which occurred on the North Kent line between Stroud and Gravesend, on the afternoon of the 20th inst., whereby Gee. Waller, the head guard of the train, was killed, was resumed yesterday, at the Town-hall, Gravesend, before Mr. E. Hilder, the borough coroner. Richard Grant, the driver of the engine of the train to which the accident occurred, said he did not feel any jerker or unusual motion till the engine ran off the line, They were travelling at less than 30 miles an hour. As soon as the engine ran off he reversed the en gine and put her on her back gear. The engine then ran down the bank on the left side into the ditch. Charles Grant, fireman of the engine, said he had time to give his break several turns, but had not time to put it on very hard. Various persons who had been passengers at the time of the acci dent confirmed the statement made by these wit nesses. Joseph Solomon, farmer, Shorne, said that I on hearing of the accident he went to the spot aud. walked down the line to ascertain where the engine first went off the line. After proceeding about 50 yards ho noticed one of the rails lying on its side, and on kicking the chairs he found that they had just been broken. The engine, before turning over, had broken one of the rails with the off wheels, and the lurch threw it overintotheditch. Witness could see no chairs lying about. He was under the im_ orteb. opsrceisisliaotnionthoaft theall tehnegcinheaicrasuhseadd b b y ee t n he br w ok et e , n a b n y d t the: he. rail was then driven aside.

T he t r enails appeared to have been torn out, some. bein iy anai Gravesend, d€) . who Mr. fi rm er than others. Rob ert Allen, gauger, emplo y e d 1 -ed on the North Kent Rai l way, said nothing h a d been done to that part of the line where the accident occurred for a fortnight or three wecka. Witness examined the line on the morning the accident happened and found it to be quite perfect. The rails were keyed on the outside. There was a bulge on the left side, and another on the right side of the rail when he noticed it. This lild caused the chairs to be displaced and the trenails to give way. The trenails shown to the coroner and jury had been put in since the accident. The length of the rail displaced was 15ft. It had six chairs and four trenails. The trenails produced appeares I. to have been in use ever since the formation of the line. They were made by Messrs. Ransome and May. After William Lipkott, inspector of the permaitent way, had been examined the jury remarked that it appeared most extraordinary that they could not ascertain who executed the repairs m a de on the permanent way on the night of the ac ciden t. Capt. Tyler said he had been anxious to a scertain that fact from the witnesses, but had hitherto f atl ed to do so. Whyland Gardener, carriag© examiner, afterwards stated that he gave orders for the li ne to get th e to be put in order, as be w as a n xious e hquickly as po ss ibl e. car riages out of the ditch as The Coroner here s tated that as it was then t oo l ate to take the evidence of Capt. Tyler he should ad journ the inquiry until il Tuesday next, whirl-, was done accordingly. to P• it° uni able the Sir Six. k]tirl Share 100 BL 201 204 10 174 stock stock 100 100 100 100 stock 100 100 100 100 100 100 stock stock 201 201 100 100 stock stock stock stock stock. stock
