LORD PALM.ERSION A 7 MELBOURNE. Great rejoicings took place yesterday at Mel bourne, Derbyshire, in consequence of the presence of Lord and Lady Palmerston among their tenantry. His lordship arrived on Wednesday from London, and stayed during the night at Melbourne Hall, en joying the hospitality of Col. Gooch. His recep tion was of the moat enthusiastic description. The bells of the parish church were rung, and triumphal arches erected along the road. Yesterday morning his lordship was presented with an address from the people of Melbourne, the ceremony taking place in an open space in front of the parish church. There was a very numerous at tendance, a large influx of visitors having taken place from Derby and neighbouring towns. Mr. ADCOCK, as chairman of a pu blic meeting of the inhabitants, read the following address : " To THE RIGHT HON. LORD PALMERSTON, M.P., &c., &C. " May it please your Lordship,—We, the inhabi tants of Melbourne, have again the pleasure of wel coming your lordship and your estimable lady to this locality, and of congratulating you both upon the vigorous health which, by the blessing of the Almighty, is still vouchsafed to you. It must be a source of congratulation to all classes that a life so valuable to our Queen and the country has been spared to conduct the affairs of this great empire. The deep interest which you have always manifested in behalf of the liberty of the subject, both at home and abroad—the great consi deration which you have shown for the social ame lioration and the educational improvement of the people, and more especiallythe wise discretion which you have exercised with regard to our internal secu rity, as well as the protection of our national honour, call for the warmest approbation and most grateful thanks. _ . _ " We congratulate your lordship upon the wisdom you and your colleagues have displayed in abstain ing from any interference in the lamentable inter necine war in America. That war, as your lordship well knows,has caused great distress in this country as well as in America; but it appears to us that any interference by her Majesty's Government would ag gravate the difficulties by which we are surrounded and cause increased irritation on both sides of the Atlantic. If the time should arrive when, on the solicitation of the contending parties, the advice of her Majesty's Government should be required, we have confidence that your lordship will so act as to secure peace on a right basis, and thus contri bute to the benefit and happiness of the American people, and also reinvigorate the trade and add to the wealth and social wea-being of our own popu lation. The sympathetic feelings which your lordship has never failed to express for our suffering fellow beings in Lancashire and Cheshire, and the labour ing classes in general, have been read with satisfac tion by all portions of her Majesty's subjects. You have applauded their regulation under the most severe trials that human nature has to con tend with. Allow us, then, r espectfully to suggest that the manly fortitude and self-denying practices which they have exhibited must call to your lordship's mind the pregnant fact that a class which thus battles with misfortune, and betrays,under the most trying circumstances, great respect for the laws, is entitled to have a voice in the framing of laws intended for the common benefit, and which, if "properly enacted, will unite all classes of her Majesty's subjects in the bonds of unity and good will. " We trust your lordship will excuse our expres sions of deep regret that the advice of the Home Secretary, Sir George Grey, was not taken with regard to the Night Poaching and Game Bill, and that more time was not given for the due conside ration of so important a question. " It is our earnest hope that your lordship may be long spared to give the benefit of your wisdom and experience to our beloved Sovereign, to preside over the councils of the Government, and to pro mote with your influence all measures calculated to give stability to the throne and prosperity to the nation. " We also desire to express a hope that Lady Palmerston may long live to be an encouragement as well as solace to your lordship in your ' labour of love' for the public good, and that both of you, when it shall please Providence to call you hence, will find a still happier abode in a future state. " With many thanks for the important public services you have always rendered, and the pa triotic interest you have taken in the welfare and honour of our common country, we beg to subscribe ourselves your lordship's obedient servants." Lord PALMERSTON, who was received with en thusiastie cheers, said—Gentlemen, I beg, on behalf of myself and of Lady Palmerston, to return you my sincere and heartfelt thanks for the kind reception you have given us, and more especially for the ad dress which you have just read to me. I can assure you that it gives me the greatest pleasure to revisit this place which, especially to Lady Palmerston, is consecrated by the deep recollection that it is the seat of her ancestors, and a place in which she has always taken the most lively interest. (Cheers.) She regrets, and I regret, that we are not able to devote a larger portion of time to this residence, but we have engagements and occupations elsewhere which prevent us from doing so. We have great plea sure, however, in seeing the hall so well occupied as it is by the worthy gentleman and lady who are now its inmates. lam much obliged, gentlemen, for the expression of good will and approval which your address contains of the public conduct of that Government of which I am a member. I can assure you that we do entirely feel that any efforts which the Government can make in the public service, can only be carried to a successful issue so long as they are backed and supported by the feelings and spirit of the country at large. (Hear, hear, and chee rs.) W 6 have, it is true, endeavoured in the first place to put the nation in a state of defence at home, and i n the next place, in our relations with foreign Powers, to maintain the honour and the dignity of the empire. (Cheers.) It would, indeed, be a great abuse of those blessings which Provi dence has so plentifully showered upon this nation, if we were lightly to deal with them, and were not by all human means to endeavour t o p ro t ec t a n d to maintain those great advantages which Providence has bestowed upon this nation. (Hear, hear.) It is therefore a duty on the part of the Government, it is a duty on the part of the People of this nation, to place themselves in s uch a position of internal defence, that while on the one hand it threatens nobody, on the other hand it tellsus all peopl e t h ey (Loud ch eers , ) As with impunity threaten • As has been observed in that address, We hav e , we hope, in our intercourse with foreign nations main _ tamed properly the dignity, the honour, and the rights of the country. (Cheers.) We had la tel y a question with the United States of Americ a which threatened in its outset to bring on events which we should have deeply deplored; but that question was settled in a manner consistent with the honour, and the principles, and the dignity of both parties; be cause while on the one hand the American Govern ment granted that satisfaction which we demanded, on the other hand they could not have refused that satisfaction without departing from the prin ciples of international law, which they themselves had always maintained and considered essential to, their own interests as a nation. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) There was, therefore, no triumph on either side. The only triumph was the triumph of truth and justice, which each party was equally inte rested in maintaining. Gentlemen, we must all regret the calamity which that unhappy war has Produced, not only in the country in which it rages, but in many countries of Europe which are depen dent upon America for the materials of their do mestic ind us t ry. ( Hear.) In this.country we know that a large portion of our population are suffering grea t privation s in consequence of that war. I am surprised. that in a place where industry flourishes ow- eeliell f - - you s hould have a f ng with those unfor tunateof Lancashirepeople who are suffering greatly under the Privation of the article which is essential to theirindustry, We trust and hope that the law which Parliament Pused i mmediately before the 'prorogation may materially , e kn ow also t end that to mitigate " and alleviate their suffering s • those persons who have profit ed g r eatly b y the in dustry of the population are contributing according to their means, generously in support' of these suf fering people, (Hear, hear.) We only trust and hope that those liberal subscriptions miy be ap plied not merely torelieve the wants of tne parents, but that they may be applied usefully wisely to enable the children of those parent, to continue to enjoy those advantages of education which are as i mpo rtant to the mind as employment is to the body- We know that when parents are reduced to great distress, they may be unable to afford those weekly payments upon which the education of their children depends. We trust that those who have the direction of these ample subscriptions will bear that in mind as well as the wants of the parents themselves. (Hear.) Well, gentlemen, I can only say we are deeply sensible of the kind feeling and friendly disposition which your address implies, and that it will always afford to Lady Pal merston and myself great pleasure to find ourselves able to revisit this place, which is to her mind, I can assure you, associated with every feeling which can render it dear to the human heart. I beg to return you my best thanks for the honour you have done me. (Cheers.) Three cheers were then proposed for Lord and Lady Palmerston, and cordially responded to. His lordship then proceeded to the parish church, where an eloquent sermon was preached on behalf of the fund for the restoration of the church, by Dr. M'Neile. In the afternoon Lord Palmerston presided at a public luncheon, which was given in a large mar quee erected in the grounds of Melbourne Hall. There were present about 400 ladies and gentle men, among whom were, besides the noble Viscount and Lady Palmerston, the Rev. Lord E. Chichester, and the Hon. Miss Chichester, the Hon. A. H. Vernon, Sir H. Wilmot, Bart., Sir G. Beaumont, Bart., Lady Beaumont, Mr. Mundy, M.P., Lady Wilmot of Osmaston Hall, Lieut.-Col. Gooch and Mrs. Gooch, the Rev. Dr. M'Neile, Mr. W. T. Cox, Mr. Sneyd, Miss Cuyler, the Rev. F. Gooch, Mrs. Holden, the Rev. F. W. Whitaker, Rural Deall, Major Wilmot, V.C., and Mrs. Wilmot, the Mayor of Nottingham, the Rev. J. Deane , the Vicar of Melbourne, the Rev. Gervase Vasse , the curate, Dr. re Robin Hood Hitchman, Mr. F. Fox, Mr. G. H. Bond , of Not tingham, Mr. King, Mr. John J. Briggs, &e. The band of the Nottinghamshire Volunteer Corps was stationed outside the tent, on the margin of the lake , a nd p la y ed a succession of popular airs. After grace had been said, The Noble u ) who, on rising, was re ceivedilAm enthusiastic cheers, said—Ladies and withe C Gentlemen, I beg to propose that toast which is always first at any assembly of British subjects, which expresses a wish that is deepest in the heart o f every subject of her Majesty, and which is first o n their lips whe n the proper opportunity presents itself—l mean " The Health of the Queen." (Loud cheers.) We, and all her subjects, have deeply sympathised with her in the heavy affliction that has befallen her; but, however she may have been bowed down mentally with grief, she has never for a moment forgotten her duties to her subjects, and their welfare and interest have ever been foremost in her mind. (Loud cheers.) The toast was drunk with great applause, and was followed by " God save the Queen," played by the band. His LORDSHIP again rose and said—ln connec tion with the toast which you have just drunk, allow me to propose " The health of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and the other mem bers of the Royal family." (Cheers.) The charac ter of the Prince who is one day—long may it be delayed—to -succeed to the throne is an object of deep interest to every body in the realm, and it is gratifying to know that whatever the Prince of Wales has been, whether at home, in the West or in the East—in America, in Africa, in Asia or in Europe—he has invariably produced the most favourable impression on everybody with whom he has come in contact. (Cheers.) The toast having been warmly responded to, The CHAIRMAN said—l now beg to propose to you three services that deserve richly the thanks and gratitude of their country, " The Army, the Navy, and the Volunteers." (Cheers.) It is need. less to say that the army and navy never were in a more efficient state than they are at the present mo ment. (Cheers.) The officers combine with military knowledge a greater cultivation of the mind than perhaps at any former period of our history—l say that of the officers both of the army and navy. (Hear.) The two services have not at present any great sphere of action in which to emulate the glories of those who have gone before them, but if such opportunities were to offer, and I trust, though perhaps the officers and men of the services may not concur with me in the wish, they may be long delayed. (Cheers.) We are persuaded that those who now bear arms in the service of their Queen and their country would rival, and, if it were possible, surpass the deeds of those who have gone before them in their respec tive services. (Cheers.) As to the volunteers, you have just had an experience of their capacity to excel in the arts of peace in the cultivation of har mony. (Laughter.) Depend upon it that if the occasion were to arise, they would prove equal to the army in the defence of their country. The mere fact of their existence as a body, experienced, drilled, and disciplined as they are, and to whose military efficiency those most competent to judge have borne the highest testimony, is an armour of defence than which no country has better, and which I trust we may long continue to possess. Col. Gooca in returning thanks for the army said it was most gratifying to hear from the noble president that that branch of the service was never in a more efficient state than at the present moment. But to whom was the efficient state of the defences of the country generally owing ? (Hear, hear.) If to one man more than another, it was to the noble lord who now honoured them with his pre sence. (Cheers.) He thought there never was a more gratifying and glorious mark of the patriotism of this country than that outburst which placed 150,000 men, every one of whom was a regularly drilled and disciplined soldier, at the disposalof the Government, in addition to the other defences of the country. (Cheers.) Sir Hy. WILMOT replied for the navy, and Major WILMOT on the part of the volunteers. The next toast was " The Bishop of Lichfield, and the Clergy of the Diocese," to which the Rev. W. Whitaker, rural dean, responded. The Rev. Canon M`NEILE said he came at the request of a brother clergyman to preach the ser mon in the church that morning, and having done so he imagined that his mission to Melbourne was completed, but he had been commanded by Colonel Gooch to propose a toast, and he felt bound to obey superior orders. The rev. gentleman then, in a few eloquent words, proposed "The Health of Lord Pal merston." The tout he intended to ettAi7t as drunk amidst loud cheering. The c eived with on rising to respond, was re - e l24 ea A t N eheering. The noble lord said— Ladies and gentle men , my reverend friend stated give an agreeable surprise. We , the manner in W hic h that o h that toast which he has in terms which I feel more flattering than the individual deserved whaedreth 4,, No, n 0 ")--t . h mann er in which that agr a;ible on e , if i t toast has been rece ived, could have been a —(cries of Though -,1 I am bound certainly sur prise, was a most to confess that it was Y no surprise to me in the town of Melbourne. (Cheers.) The kindness and goodwill which I ha veexp erien ced upon every d this pl a ce occasion upon which I leave visite d " Would indeed make a contrary recep tion a surprise , inas much as it would fro n 3 that be a departu re agree able course to me which I have h ither to found Pur- M sued by my good friends at .1 e lbourne. 1 / I , y reverend friend, with that eloquence which dis tinguishes him, and of which we heard so g reat and brilliant an example this morning in that cause in which all your hearts, I am sure, are engaged my reverend friend has adverted to the course which I, together with my colleagues, have taken in regar d "to the general defences of the country. Well, gentle men, we have felt that in providing duly in a time of peace, not indeed those ample means which would be requisite in war, but those moderate means which, being provided in peace, are a security against war, we were simply discharging a duty which we owed to the country. (Cheers.) My rev. THE 'SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1862 friend has adverted to our conduct in providing those means, and he has truly said that in the measures which we felt it our duty to adopt we were only giving effect to the steady and sturdy determina tion of the people of this realm, and if we had not done so we should have been justly reproached with neglecting the greatest duty imposed upon those who are charged responsibly with the conduct of affairs. Wo should not only have been negligent Ministers, but I will say that we should have been traitors to our country. (Cheers.) Well, gentle men, we duty feel the importance of lessening, as far as may be consistent with the great interests of the country, the burdens which necessarily fall upon the people of these realms, but we know that if by neglect, or by not taking due precautions, this country, rich—as my reverend friend has stated—in wealth of every kind, were to tempt a more powerful antagonist, the expense of even the first month of war would infinitely outweigh all the expenditure which is necessary to place ourselves in a state of security against attack. (Loud cheers.) Therefore, it is true economy to provide due means of defence for the country, and nothing can be more wasteful of the public interest than neglecting, in a time of peace, when you can do it quietly, gradually, and advisedly, with due temper and circumspection, to adapt your means to your end — pr oviding in a time of peace those defences, wheth er they consist of army, navy, and volunteers , or whether they con sist in works to guard yo ur dockyards and y our arsenals, which you could not organise on a sudden if war were to come u p on you, but which, bein g organised duly, in a time of peace, make you, as far as human arrangements can do so, secure against any unprovoke d attack. (Cheers. ) Ladi e s and gen tlimde manner b eg to return you my b es t th an k s f o r the kind in which you h ave rece i ve d the toast which my reverend frie n d has proposed; an d I beg e n k t w a h a ts h ure you that my visits to this town and neigh bourhood, always most agreeable to reflect upon after they have passed, will be still more agreeable when I bear in remembrance the kind reception which you have given us this day. (Loud cheers.) His LORDSHIP, in proposing the next toast, said —We are assembled on the present occasion to com memorate a most interesting event in the history of Melbourne—the restoration of that ancient struc ture in which we assembled this morning to hear Divine service. There cannot be anything that goes more directly to the hearts of mankind than the restoration and repair of those temples of Divine worship which are consecrated by every feeling of the human heart. When, by a lapse of time, they have fallen into decay, it is a most pleasing duty on the part of those who live near, and of those who are interested in the welfare and prosperity of the district, to contribute to tfie reparation of the edifice ; and those who have been kind enough to undertake the duty of superintending those repairs are amply entitled to be honoured by and to receive the thanks of those who are to profit by their exer tions. (Hear, hear.) We have seen to-day how well this ancient church of Melbourne has been re stored. We have seen that all the defects which either time or misguided judgment had created in that building have been removed and repaired, and it now stands forth in its original beauty, the object of admiration to all who enter within its walls. We are greatly indebted to the vicar and to the church committee, who have taken the trouble—and a great trouble it must have been—to superintend those im provements and restorations, and, therefore, I am sure that I am proposing to you that which will be most agreeable to all your feelings, when I propose to you the health of the vicar and the Church Restoration Committee. The Rev. J. DEANE briefly responded, and the health of Dr. M‘Neile having been drunk and duly acknowledged, Lord PALMERSTON said—l beg to propose a toast to you, gentlemen, in which the ladies are not to take part. What I propose is, that we should drink to " The Ladies." (Loud cheers.) It is a rule of precedence that those of the highest rank should go last, and therefore, upon the prin ciple of precedence, we propose " The Ladies," as the last toast. You all know that where there is to be a work of charity or benevolence done the ladies are always the foremost to take part in it. (Cheers.) I think it is recorded by Park, in his " Travels in Africa," that wherever he went, though a helpless stranger, and though often much ill-used by the men, whenever he was in distress, whenever he was ill, whenever he wanted assistance, he found that the hearts of the women were not so black as their faces—(laughter and cheers)—and that where ever else he might meet with ill-usage, he was always sure to experience kindness and as sistance from the women of the village in which he happened to be. (Cheers.) Now, although the ladies of England cannot compete in complexion with the ladies who relieved Mungo Park—(laugh ter)—their hearts are as warm and warmer in con sequence of the cultivation of their mind, and there fore I propose to you the health of the ladies as the first and foremost in every good work, and thanks to them for having attended this meeting to-day. (Cheers.) The company, upon the conclusion of the toasts, proceeded to the gardens of Melbourne Hall, where a fete was held, which, however, was somewhat marred by unfavourable weather. Deputations from Derby waited upon Lord Pal merston in the course of the day, inviting him to be present at a banquet to be given in his honour, and also requesting him to preside at the forthcoming County Agricultural Meeting, but the noble lord, in consequence of pressing engagements elsewhere, was compelled to decline both invitations. His lordship throughout the day appeared to be in the best of health, and entered with great spirit into the whole of the proceedings. FEMALE FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER. (From the Paris Elegant.) At present there are but few novelties ; our pretty ladies are all off to the watering-places, or on their travels; boxes and packing-cases are sent after them all over Europe. The most fashionable dresses are those of white muslin; they are certainly very pretty and extremely becoming. But when I say white, I do not mean the fine Indian cotton stuffs, which darken the very fairest cream-like complexions ; but, rather clear muslin, or organdi, or tulle, or tarlatane. They are trimmed in a thousand ways. Some are richly embroidered, others adorned with black and white guipure, as I have already told you. One pretty fancy, a revival of thirty years past, are the organdis embroidered with coloured wool. Sometimes there is but a single shade, sometimes two blue tints, or rose de mauve, &c. They are embroidered with extreme nicety, and they produce a charming morning dress for company. Mauve shaded with violet is, in my opinion, the most elegant. Six small notched flounces (volants den teles) with a slight trail over the notch, a round corsage, a ribbon matching the embroidery worn as a girdle, having a large biw and long falls, or else a scarf embroidered in the same manner. A trimming or an embroidery round the bosom, wide sleeves, half a pagoda, terminating with four rows of small flounces, likewise tuyautes. Robes for balls and evening parties are made up as in the middle of winter ; the gloss is so bright you cannot conceive anything more radiant. Their style and elegance still keep increasing. Those tulle and crape toilets are so very light as to make one leap whilst looking at them. They generally bullion these delicate stuffs; they are no longer studded with flowers and bows ; they are fastened or raised up instead, which is not so heavy to look at, I will now speak of bonnets, and describe several of them. One of these is of blue Louisa crape, and l a ci t e, fir v s e t i y y o c u om w m ou o l n d set it down as vulgar and ex . __ t ut no; it does n o t di sp l a y that universal tuft of ehOui;etviPdis ;rs co much in favo u r with our cooks and it is a set off with a salmon rose. These ro te s are encircled with leaves of a wood c olour; the y i n a natural folia ge , com posed of found 1 plants ~, the fields likewise, and the graceful curve of which la closed with light cl us t ers • no imitat i o n can surNes it. The effect is • • ' delightful, and far above all comparison. Another bonnet is made of grey crape ; like the i t i s grooved, or coalisse. It is a d orned w i th f fit r r e s eh vernal roses; the Imes are of the same tint as the crepe; it is soft, elegant, and wonderfully pretty. The straw bonnets are absolute gems. Yon de corate them with a velvet, a ribbon, and a bunch of field flowers ; the style of them is very light and pretty. Grace and elegance do not depend on riches ; taste alone is sufficient to convert the merest trifle into an ornament. Muslin burnous still prevail ; they wait for fine weather, and it is a pity to leave them in the band box. But what is to be done ? There is no laying by our winter clothes yet. One last word on bonnets and hats. 1 have often alluded to travelling hats, and told you that the taste is returning a little to those I so much re gretted—the Mademoiselle hat, with its turned-up ed eh g e e s s e pointing downwards both behind and before. are very elegant and b ecom i ng ; no o thers can be co mpared to them. The M arc hi oness de V-- wear s one of these made of It a li an s t raw , a d orne d T with a pheasant's plume set on the edge and falling behind. This plume is entwined with a pretty little coronet of Toucan feathers of the richest red. I ought rather to call it a circle than a coronet, for the plumes surround the stock, and serve to support it. A how of red velvet, edged with black lace, falls over behind. And now for a great piece of news, fair English ladies ! Do you know that you are going' to use sticks ? Yes, sticks, like our grandmothers and great-grandmothers. They are being brought back into fashion ; jid it is our ladies of high society and the best breeding who have taken the initiative in this extraordinary move. Even so notice to quit, saving that he was going intolbe country to better his condition. That was on the morning of the 16th. He said his wife would come for the furniture on the Wednesday or Thursday of the following week. They went away together in a cab at about lilalf-past 8. On Wednesday, the 20th, I saw the female prisoner at my house, and in reply to my questions she stated that she had had a letter that morning from Mr. Vincent—that he was at Liverpool, and intended to stay there six weeks. I next saw the prisoners in custody- Clark said that on searching the male prisoner at Rugby he found a letter bearing the London poet mark, of Aug. 20. It was signed " Louisa," and said " My dear Tom, your letter has just been re ceived." It was written by a female, and the writer said she could not then come down, as she was un well. _ The prisoners said they should reserve their de fence. Mr. Barker fully committed the prisoners to Newgate for trial. Application was made to admit the female to bail, but it was refused. THAMES.—THE ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE AT Bow.—Mr. Thomas Ricketts, a coal merchant, aged 48, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with feloniously cutting and wounding Ellen Ricketts, his wife, on the 28th July last, with intent to murder her, and also attempting to com mit suicide on the same day, and at the same place. Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner. Mr. and Mrs. Ricketts are connected with many respectable families in the Tower Hamlets, and the most lively interest was manifested in their behalf by the people in the court, which was crowded to excess. Mr. Sleigh said the prisoner was very ill and weak, and requested he might be accommodated with a seat in the dock. M-. Selfe—Certainly. Give Mr. Ricketts a chair. The first witness called was Mrs. Eisen Ricketts, a ladyl►ke woman, who was very deeply affected, and gave evidence in a low tone and under excited feelings. She stated that on the night of the 28th of July, at a few minutes past 10 o'clock, she was at super with her husband. Mrs. Chapman, a lady residing in the same house, was present at the commencement of the supper. Mr. Ricketts found fault with a piece of bread on the table, and said it was not a fit piece of bread to give him. She re plied, "I did not give it to you. It is on the table by accident, and I will give you anothEr piece." After Mrs. Chapman left the room her husband took a clasp knife ►ut of his pocket. She could not say whether it was then opened or closed He was in a very excited state, and she was afraid he would do harm to himself. She laid her hand on the col and sleeve of his coat and said to him, " Put it out of your hand." He would not, and she struggled with him, and in that struggle received a wound. She was endeavouring to extricate the knife from his grasp when she was wounded. The wound was on the left side of the neck. There was only one wound. She was standing up at the time it was inflicted. It bled a good deal, and when she found the blood come she left the room. In answer to questions by Mr. Selfe, the witness said she believed her husband did not intend to hurt her. Dr. Gill, his medical attendant, ordered her to provide a proper attendant or keeper for her husband several days before the occurrence hap pened, but she thought she could manage him herself, as she knew he never intended to hurt her. Her husband had been drinking a little the day she was wounded. In cross-examination by Mr. Sleigh, the witness said her husband had an attack of delirium tremens, and acted in a very rash and incoherent manner for several days. He walked about the house nearly naked, and flung many things from the windows. She knew that the prisoner inflicted severe injuries upon himself, but it was quite an accident that she was hurt. Mr. Selfe—Did you see him inflict a wound upon himself ? Witness—No, I did not. _ _ Mr. Sleigh—He did wound himself very severely indeed, and was not in a fit state to be brought before you until now. Mr. Thomas Ladbrook, the landlord of the Mor gan Arms, Coborn-road, said my house is opposite to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Ricketts. They are very respectable people, and I have known them eight or nine years. I am a most reluctant witness. On the night of the 28th of July, about 10 o'clock, I heard cries of " Help, help !" I went across the road to my neighbour's house, and I saw Mrs. Chap man and her sister. They wished me to go into the house, and said Mr. and Mrs. Ricketts were quarrelling. I went in and saw them struggling together in the breakfast parlour. At that time Mrs. Ricketts was wounded, and I saw the blood coming from htr neck. I took a knife from Mr. R cketts and then left him alone. I❑ answer to questions by Mr. Sleigh, the wit ness said Mr. Ricketts was not master of his actions. He went into the house to protect Mrs. Ricketts. '1 he prisoner was greatly excited, and did not know what he was about or what he did. Mrs. Ricketts was also i❑ an excited state. Mrs. Emma Chapman, wife of George Chapman, said—l reside in Mr. Ricketts' house in the Coborn road, B fw. I was at supper on the 28 hof July. Mr. Ricketts c ,me in very much excited. He was a in state of excitement all d , y. He found much fiult with the bread, and used an expression which I will not repeat. 1 then left the room and went upstairs. That was all 1 heard. Henry Barnett, a police-constable, 279 K, stated that, he was called to No. 24, Coborn-road, on the night of the 28th of July. A great number of per sons were assembled about the house, and Mrs. Ricketts, who was wounded, was then being taken into the next dwelling. She said her husband had stabbed her. He went into the house, and called for Mr. Ripketts, who answered from the kitchen "I am down here." He went downstairs and found Mr. Ricketts there with his throat cut in a fright ful manner, and a bloody razor in his hand. He took the razor from the prisoner and sent for Dr. Gill. The prisoner had ever since been under me dical care at his own house. He asked Mr. Ricketts how he came to do such a thing, and he said " It's all owing to my wife." Mr. Selfe—Was he conscious ? Witness-1 judge he had been drinking. Mr. Samuel L. Gill, physician and surgeon, of Bow, said—l was sent for on the night of the 28th of July to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Ricketts, and found the prisoner on the floor, with a very large wound on his neck. He was very incoherent, and in so faint a condition from loss of blood that I would not allow him to talk. I examined the wound. He was not then bleeding to a very great extent, for the wound had been sponged. My at tention was next directed to Mrs. Ricketts. She was not losing much blood. Mr. Ricketts' wound extended pretty well from one ear to the other. It was a semicircular cut seven inches in length or more, and carried back to the base of the tongue. It fortunately missed the carotid artery on both sides. I was in attendance on Mr. Ricketts before this sad event, and strongly recommended Mrs . Ricketts to have a keeper to look after her husband. He was labouring under delirium tr limns, and was not master of his own actions, and I feared he would commit suicide. I had been in attendance on Mr. Ricketts 14 or 15 years, and had no doubt whatever that it was delirium tremens under which he was labouring. I had a conversation with Mr. Ricketts two or three days after he wounded himself, and he said he should be more happy in his mind if he could see his wife. I said you cannot see her, and he asked the reason why. I told him he had wounded his wife also, and that she was very bad. He had been lying in a prostrate ccndition until t hat moment, and he suddenly raised himself, and said, " Good G ,, d I I had not the slightest idea of anything of kind." Mr. Selte—Was that genuine? Mr have no doubt it was. He had not the least, notion of having wounded his wife till I told him. He had previously said, " Let her come and see, she will not be a fraid to look at the wound." When I told him Mrs. Ricketts was w oun d e d h e expressed the deepest reoTet, and said, " I hope she will torgivo me before I die ; she must be aware I had lost my senses." Mr. Selfe—Does that observation app l y to him self? Mr. Gill—Yes. I a sked him a quest i on. H e said he remembered blood flowing very freely from his neck, but he did n ot know how it occurred. Mr. Selfe—N oa have heard th e po li ce consta bl e ' s evidence? Mr. Gill -1 have, sir. Mr. Ricketts still requires to be under m edical care. H e i s suffer i ng from loss of blood and exhaustion. In answer to Mr. Sleigh, the doctor said—The wound on Mrs. Ricketts neck is a superficial one on the left side. Pbelieve it was caused by acci lent. The knife sliced off. It was not a direct stab. I believe it might have been caused by her s uddenly snatching her arm away as s h e has de scribed. I may mention one thing. I told Mrs. Ricketts not to sleep in that house again without pro tection a few days before this happened, and I lectured her severely only the day before this did occur for not acting on my instructions. Mr. Selfe---What security have we that this will n ot occur ag a i n ? Mr. Sleigh said that besides the tender care and attention of an attached wife, a keeper had been in attendance on Mr. Ricketts since he wounded him self, and that he was under strict surveillance. Nothing had been left undone by the brothers and other relatives of the unfortunate gentleman to prevent a recurrence of the unhappy affair, and it was the earnest wish of the family and con.: ; noxious of Mr. Ricketts, and of Mrs. Ricketts herself, that he should not be sent to prison or de • - tsined in custody for a moment. All that was neces sary had been done for the future welfare of the pri soner. For the last, three years he had been uncontrol able, carrying razors about,flourishing them, throw ing crockery and other things from his windows, and acting in a most eccentri c manne r. M rs . Ricketts was somewhat to blame because she had not acted on the judicious advice of so eminent a member of the faculty as Dr. Gill, who knew her husband's failings, and warned her. Mr. Selfe—Dr. Gill has acted with the greatest caution, care, and skill. Mr. Sleigh---I quite agree With you, sir. The wound inflicted on Ars. Ricketts was quite acci dental, and under the circumstances 1 feel assured you will discharge Mr. Ricketts, and his wife, his brothers, and many others will take care that he does not commit violence again. Mr. Selfe—What you say as regards the w if e i s perfectly true. The charge would fail if I committed him for trial for wounding his wife. It was no doubt an accident. As regards the other charge, the only object in sending him for trial would be his security. Under the circumstances. and in the fall belief that he is in good hands, that measures have been taken for his security, and that he deeply regrets what he has done, I shall discharge him. The decision gave much satisfaction to the nume rous friends and connections of Mr. Ricketts in the I court. WANDSWORTH.—THE CHILD MURDER AT THE RESIDENCE OF JENNY LlND.—Susan Arter, aged 28, late kitchenmaid in the establishment of the celebrated Jenny Lind, was finally examined before Mr. Dayman on a charge of wilfully mur dering her illegitimate male child by forcing some blunt instrument down his throat, at Argyll Lodge, Wimbledon-common, on the 14th of July last. The prisoner appeared still very ill, and was accommodated with a seat in the dock. Mr. Lewis, jun., defended her. The first witness examined was Eliza Emma Chapman, who stated that she was housemaid in the service of Mr. Otto Goldschmidt, of Argyll Lodge, Wimbledon-common. The prisoner was, until recently, in the same service as kitchenmaid, and slept in the same room with her, but occupied a separate bed. About tour o'clock on Monday morning, the 14th of July last, she was aroused by hearing a noise in the room. She got up, and found the prisoner sitting by the window in a fainting state. Witness bathed her face, and when she recovered she assisted her to her bed. Witness returned to hec own bed, but she had not been there long before the prisoner again fainted. Witness bathed her face a second time, and on recovering she expressed a desire for a cup of tea, and said she would be better after having one. Witness dressed herself, and went down stairs and made some tea. She took her a cup of tea and then left her. The witness further stated that the prisoner told her that she had been taken ill, hut she did not explain the nature of the illness. She never told witness she was in the familyway, and she was not the least aware of it. She had certainly observed that the prisoner had looked rather stout latterly. Mr. Goldschmidt was examined at the inquest, but he was now abroad. Cross-examined—The prisoner appeared very weak. She did not appear delirious at the time. She was ill afterwards. She was light-headed at times during her illness. Inspector Ayre, of the V division, said that on the 15th of July he went to Argyll Lodge in con sequence of information he had received, and saw Mr. Goldschmidt. He also saw the prisoner, who was in bed, and told her that he wanted to look in her boxes to see if there were any articles of baby linen. He then showed her a key he had received from Mr. Goldschmidt, and inquired if it was the key of her other box, and she answered that it was. She requested that the box might be brought for ward, and a box was accordingly brought from Mr. Goldschmidt's study. He opened the box in her presence, and found inside the dead body of a male infant, wrapped in the skirt of an old dress. He also searched that box for baby linen, but could not find any. He returned all the things, together with the dead body, into the box, locked it up and kept the key. The same evening he had the box re moved to the Park Tavern, Wandsworth, where an inquest was held on the body. A verdict of wilful murder was returned against the prisoner. On the 17th of July he conveyed the prisoner to the in firmary of Wandsworth Workhouse. She made no statement, nor did he when she charged her at the police-station, on the 16th inst. Mr. Robert Willis, surgeon, of Barnes, said that on the 14th of July he was called to Mr: Gold schmidt's, and he saw that gentleman sitting upon a box. He found in it a bundle containing the body of a full-grown male child. He was then impressed with the detp colour of the body from the collar bone upwards. It was a dark colour, and the rest of the body was very pale. He saw and examined the prisoner, and :ound her state consistent with her having recently given birth to a child. He said to her, "You unhappy woman, how is it you made no preparation for this poor little child ?" but she made no reply. He then asked her whether the child had cried, and she replied that it cried a little. He attended an inquest on the holy, and by direc tion of the coroner he made a postmortem examina tion. He found evidence of injury abou , the head, and rarticularly great mechanical violence inter nally to the throat, the parts of which were severed. His impressio❑ was that something hard, such as a jagged piece of stick, had been thrust down the throat, and so caused the disseveration. He tried his finger do vn the throat, but could not reach the disseveration of the parts. His opinion was that the child died from that violence. The chest was healthy, and the lungs fully expanded. His belief was that the child was born alive, and had breathed freely. Mr. Lewis said the prisoner would reserve her defence. Mr. Dayman said she would be fully committed to take her trial at the September Sessions of the Central Criminal Court. Mr. Lewis said Mr. Goldschmidt would appear at the sessions. He was at present out of town. Mr. Taylor (the clerk) explained that Mr. Gold schmidt and the other witnesses were bound over by the coroner to appear at the assizes, but in con sequence of the illness of the prisoner the trial did not take place, and their bail was respited till the sessions, The prisoner, who made no attempt to speak, was then removed. LOSING ONE'S OLD FRIENDS. (From Fraser's Magazine.) There is a sad thing which we are all made to feel as we are going on. It is, that we are growing out of things which we are sorry to outgrow. The firmest conviction that we are going on to what is better cannot suppress some feeling of regret at the thought of what we are leaving behind. When I was a country parson I used to feel very sorry to see a laurel or a yew growing out of the shape in which I remembered it, and which was associated with pleasant days. There was a dull pang at the sight. I remember well a little yew I planted with my own hand. It looks like yesterday since I held its top, while a certain man filled in the earth and put the sod round its stem. For some time it seemed doubt ful if that yew would live and grow ; at last it was fairly established, and began to grow vigorously the second year. For a year or two more it was a neat shaggy little thing ; but then it began to put out tremendous shoots, and to grow out of my ac quaintance. I felt I was losing an old friend. Many a time I had stood and looked at the little yew ; I knew every branch of it, and always went to look at it when I had been a few days away. No doubt it was growing better ; it was progressing with a yew's progress ; I was getting a new friend better than the old one; and yet I sighed for the old one that was gradually leaving me. You do not like to think that your little child must grow into some thing quite different iron] what it is now ; must die into the grown up man or woman ; must grow har. dened to the world and cease to be as lovable as now. You would like to keep 'the little thing as it is— when it climbs on your knee and lays a little soft cheek against your own. Even in the big girl of seven that goes to school, you regret the wee child of three that you used to run after on the little green before your door, and in the dawn of cleverness and Thought, though pleasant to see, you still feel there is something gone which you would have liked to keep. But it is an inevitable law, that you cannot have two inconsistent good things together. You cannot at once have your field green as it is in th_ e , spring, and golden as it is in autumn. You cannot at once live i n th e little d we lli ng which wealth was long e your home, and which is surrounded by me mories of many years, and in the morer beautiful th ea and commodious mansion which your increasing ea at once be th e has been able to buy. You can". merchant prince, wealthy, In°uential, esteem e d b y all, though gouty, agneing, a nd careworn ; an d the hopeful, lighthearted lad that came in from the country to push his w a Y , and on wh ose ear l y aspira tions and struggles you look ba c k w i th a con f use d feeling, as though he were another b e ing. Yon cannot at the acme te time be a co un t ry pars on, lei o eurely and qu i e t, l i Ving AlUong green fields and, trees, and knowing the concerns of every soul in your parish. and hare the privilege and stimulus of preaching to a congregation of educated folk in town. Yet you would look round in silence and regret, when you look for the last time on the scenes amid which you passed some considerable part of your life—even though you felt that the new place of your labours and your lot were ever so much better. And, - though yon know it is well that your children should grow up into men and women, still you will sometimes be sorry that their happy child hood must pass so swiftly and so completely away ; that it must be so entirely lost to that which is to come after it ; that even in the healthy maturity of body and of mind, there is so little that recals to you the merry little boy or girl you used to know. Yes; we may have got on to something that is un questionably better; but still we miss the dear old time and way. It is as with the emigrant, who has risen to wealth and position in the new world across the sea ; but who often thinks with fond re gret of the hills of his native land; and who, through all these years, has never forgotten the cot tage where he drew his first breath, and the little churchyard where his father and mother are sleep ing. Yes ; you little man with the very curly hair, standing at that sofa, turning over the leaves of a large Bible with pictures ; stay as you are as long as you can ! For I may live to see von grow into something far less pleasant to see ; but I shall never live to see you Lord Chancellor; though that dis tinguished post, it is well known, is the natural destination of a Scotch clergyman's son. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Aug, 28. (Before Mr. Sergeant Gaselee.) Two persons were indicted for indecency. Mr . Horry prosecuted, Mr. Sleigh appeared for one, and Mr. Ribton for the other, The facts of the ca s e of course are unfit for publication, and upon the cross examination by the counsel for the defence, some evidence was elicited from the policeman iu the case which called forth some comment from the learned judge, but he made an order that the officer was not to be officially reported. The prisoners were acquitted. Mary Ann Taylor, 18, and Thomas Newton, 21, were indicted for stealing a purse and the sum of 10d. from the person of Harriet Fuller. Mr. Dickie prosecuted; Mr. Ribton defended Newton. The female pleaded guilty. From the evidence of Sergeant Langley and Ser geant Robinson, detectives, it appeared that they watched the prisoners from the Admiralty, down Parliament-street, to Cannon-row and Bridge-street, where the female prisoner got cio3e to the prosecu trix and picked her pocket, the male prisoner co vering her. They were taken into custody, and the female dropped the purse, which contained a six pence and tourpence in copper coin. Taylor said she had nothing to say in answer to the charge. Newton said he knew nothing of it ; he met the female, and, at her request, went to drink with her. The prisoners were found guilty, and they were proved to be known thieves. Ackrell, F, proved a former conviction against the female prisoner. The learned Sergeant sentenced them each to three years' penal servitude. John Allen and Henry Eccleston were indicted for attempting to pick the pocket of a female whose name was unknown, at the International Exhibi tion. The case was clearly proved by the evidence of Sergeant Cole, and the prisoners were found guilty. Evidence was then given that Eccleston was a ticket-of-leave convict, and served part of his time —eight years—at Gibraltar. The other was also known. The learned Sergeant said, had the case been laid as one of actual felony, the sentence would be one of penal servitude for a long term of years ; as it was it was only an attempt. The c out, tak ing into full consideration the whole circumstances of the case, thought that justice would be satisfied by the prisoner Allen being sentenced to twelve, and Eccleston to eighteen months' hard labour. SECOND COURT. (Before Mr. Payne.) Havannah Dale, 37, servant, was indicated for stealing some linen, value £7, the property of Bar ton Coleman Lee, of 17, Devereux-court, Strand, her master. The prisoner absconded with the linen in question, and was traced to Bethnal-Green by Ackrell, F, who recovered a portion of the property; the remainder she had disposed of by selling and pawning. She was found guilty, and sentenced to nine months' hard labour. A number of cases of minor interest were dis posed of. The bail cases will be taken this day (Friday). POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-Aug 28 CLERKENWELL—THE FORGERY AND ROB BERY OF £l.2(,O.—Thos. Beavan, 30, solicitor's clerk, and Louisa lestor, 26, a fashionably-attires woman, who described herself as a widow, residing at 26, Remington street, Islington, were charged before Mr. Barker, the former with forgery, and stealing the sum of £1,200, and the latter with re ceiving a portion of that sum, well knowing it to be stolen. Mr. II ipe attended for the female prisoner, and Mr. Wontner, jun., for the other prisoner. The evidence taken on the former occasion hav ing been read over, Geo. Clark, an officer attached to the detective department, Scotland-yard, said—ln consequence ot directions I received, and from what I heard on the morning of the 22d, I traced the female to a coffee shop in the East-road, City-road. I found her there in bed with a man. I said, "I am rather an unex pected visitor. I belong to the police, and believe you have been living with Thos. Beavan in Theo bald's-road." She said, "I have." I said," What money has he lately given you ?" She said, "None." I said, " Are you sure of that; I think you are mis taken." She said, " Well, he gave me £5." I said, " Did he give you no more ?' She then asked me to remove the waiter, who was in the room, and I did so. She then said, " I will tell you the truth; he gave me £3OO. I have spent part ot it on my child, and paying some debts, as well as buying some clotnes." She was about saying the rest is at home, when I said, " I know, I have got it!' At that time I saw a key on the table, and she said it was the key of her box. I asked her where Beavan w as, end she said, "It is hard that I should tell ;" and she did not. I then left her in charge, and went to her father's, and there found a box which the key unlocked. I there found these two letters ad- I dressed to Mrs. Testor:— "Tuesday Evening. "My Own Dearest Louisa,—Your note received. Away from her I love I find existence insupportable. Pray, there fore, put forth every effort and come down here as soon as possible. I have much to say, but will not attempt do do so on paper. Deprived of your society life is a burden to me. By all our hopes of happiness here, and salvation hereafter ; I supplicate and implore you to accede to my request. "For ever yours only, " TOM. " P.S.— You can bring down any he-chemises, &c., be longing to me. With great solicitude I have to put the mo mentous question, How's your poor feet ?'

Pre vious to leaving her bedroom I saw a gold watch and chain which she said was her's and that she had purchased it with part of the money. She asked me not to expose her about being in bed with a man. _ The complainant stated that the letters produced and given above were in the prisoner Beavan's handwriting. Mr. Woo - dcola, coffeesbop keeper, of 14, Cliches ter-place, Gray's Inn-road, said—On the 19th of this month the two prisoners took breakfast at my house in a private room. The male prisoner paid for it with a new sovereign. Mr. Jas. Coles, of 47, Theobald's-road, said—l he two prisoners took lodgings at my house on Satur day, July 26. They came as man and wife. The female was not there when the lodgings were taken. prisoner was They passed by the name of Burton when they first came. In the course of a few days the male prisoner said that from family circum stances he had used the name of Burton, but he now intended to use his own name, namely, that of I Thomas Vincent.
