Peers present—The Lord Chancellor (Chelmsford), Lord Brougham, Lord Cranworth, Lord Wensleydale, Lord Kingsdown, and other peers. (First and Second Appeals.) LIVINGSTONE (OR FENTON) V. LIVINGSTONE. The further hearing of these important appeals was re sumed this morning. These are appeals from a decision of the first division of the Court of Session in Scotland, sustaining the validity of a marriage with a deceased wife's sister, and legitimacy of a son of the marriage. _ _ Sir Richard Bethell resumed his arguments for the re spondent. The case is not concluded, and is expected to occupy the attention of their lordships several days. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Lord Campbell, Lord Chief Baron Pollock, and the Right Hon. Sir Cresswell Cresswell, JUDGMENT.-CUNNINGTON V. CUNNINGTON AND NOBLE. The full Court sat to-day at 10 o'clock to give judgment in this case. It will be recollected that the husband, the petitioner was in the employment of the Post-office, and was tried and convicted of opening a letter, and ab stracting therefrom one shilling in money, and was sentenced to penal servitude for 10 years. He ob tained a ticket of leave, and presented a petition for divorce against his wife for adultery with the co-respon dent during his absence, and the question raised was whether he was legally entitled to prosecute a divorce, being a convicted criminal, and not being able to provide his wife with the means of subsistence. The case was fully argued last term, and judgment was reserved. Lord Campbell and Sir Cresswell Cresswell were 9f opinion that under the 31st section of the Divorce Act, cap. 35, the petitioner was entitled to prosecute for divorce for adultery notwithstanding his criminal conviction. And their lordships were also of opinion that the adultery of the wife with the co-respondent was fully proved, and that there was no connivance and no condonation of the adultery proved by the wife on the part of the husband. The Lord Chief Baron entertained very . grave and serious doubts of the petitioner's right to prosecute for a divorce under the particular circumstances of this case. The peti tioner had been wilfully guilty of a crime for which he was separated from his wife and did not maintain her, and his conduct was conducive to the adultery committed, of which he had little or no right to complain, but his lordship would not dissent from the opinions already delivered. Their Lordships decreed divorce against the wife, with costs against the co-respondent. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE RACOLD. This bankrupt was described as a tailor of Leadenhall street, and came up for his certificate. The debts are stated at £1,500 ; to creditors wholly 'secured, £1,750 ;' assets— good debts £3,215, doubtful £26; property in the hands of creditors £1,700. The balance-sheet, commencing July, 1857, shows a deficiency of £969. There was no opposition, and his honour granted an immediate certificate of the second class, TRADER-DEBTORS SUMMONSES Mr. Columbine appeared for the defendant, in a case in which his client had been summoned, and put in an affidavit that he had a good defence to the action. In fact, the claim was wholly unfounded. Defendant was a respectable licensed victualler, in a most extensive way of business, perfectly well able to meeet all claims upon him. His Honour having read the affidavits, said that he would not allow any proceedings on the point, as an action had been brought, nor would he allow costs until the result was known. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAl'.) OLD COURT. Before Mr. Justice Crompton. and Mr. Baron Bramwell.) THE RICHMOND MURDER-DR. SMETHURST. This morning Dr. Thomas Smethurst was placed in the dock, and indicted upon the charge of having murdered Isabella Bankes, at Richmond. He is a man of gentle manly appearance, having a lightish brown moustache. He was dressed in black. When asked to plead, he said not guilty. Sergeant Ballantine, who appeared for the prosecution, said an affidavit was put in yesterday containing grounds on which the Court was asked to postpone the trial. This affidavit—made by Mx. Teesdale, the solicitor of the prosecution—stated that he had been necessarily engaged since the inquiries which had been held before the magi strates and the coroner, in preparing this case for trial. That, in addition to the case which was already made out, it would be necessary to prove something about some property of which the deceased was possessed, which came to her from _her gran a c•n-}..r, had been lent out on mortgage, and also about some pro perty from her uncle. Ho stated that he was unprepared with this evidence, but he had every reason to belieVe that he should be ready with it by the next session of the Court. He had not been able to prepare briefs for counsel, and there were thirty witnesses whose proofs he had not yet been able to lay before counsel. He considered that it was absolutely necessary for the ends of justice, and due to the painful and intricate circumstances of the case, that further time should be given to develop the whole of the evidence which he firmly believed could be brought for the prosecution. Sergeant Ballantine said that, in addition to the state ments in the affidavit, he knew that the circumstances— Mr. Justice Crompton—l think we ought to attend to the affidavit alone, and not be guided by what counsel may say on the point. Is there any affidavit on the other side ? ' Mr. Sergeant Parry, who appeared for the prisoner, said there was not, as he did not conceive that there was any case to answer. His client was most anxious to be tried, • and he had a right to be tried unless suffi cient ground was shown to the contrary. In the affidavit it appeared that the prisoner was committed by the magis trates on the 20th of May, and that the verdict of the coroner's jury was found on the 31st of May. Mr. Teesdale stated that he had attended with counsel at each of the ex aminations, and therefore had had a full opportunity of becoming acquainted with the evidence. The committal by the magistrates was the most important step, and that from which the proceedings of those who eonducted the prosecu tion should date. No doubt had they asked for a further remand by the magistrates they would have got it, but they completed their case on the 20th of May. Sergeant Bal lantine and Mr. Teesdale were at all the examinations, and the matter should have been ripe for trial on the 16th of June. Mr. Teesdale, in his affidavit, did not give the name of a single witness whose evidence was essential to the prosecutor, who was not now ready, nor did he show any necessity for postponement, except by vague statements that he had made every exertion. But that would be a most dangerous plea incases of this kind. On such trivial grounds as this their lordships would not postpone an ordinary case at Nisi Prius unless the names of witnesses were given, and unless it was explicitly stated what had been done to secure their attendance and their evidence, or why their attendance and their evidence were not forthcom ing. All he stated was, there were certain formal matters which it would be necessary to prove. He did not state what those matters were, or whether the deeds connected with them were at Manchester or York. He asked their lordships most respectfully whether they could conceive of any formal matter that could render it neces sary to postpone this 'trial. He could not help thinking, that if any formalities were necessary, the prosecution must have been guilty of a ladies in not having completed them between the 20th of May and the 16th of June. Then there was another statement of a most dangerous character, which he trusted their lordships would not encourage, that it was abSolutely necessary for the ends of justice that the prosecution should have more time to develop the evidence. What was the meaning of developing the evidence ? He knew the meaning of the word of course, but he ,could not attach any legal meaning to it. His client urgently desired to be tried, and he trusted that their lordships would look upon this affidavit as too vague to induce them to postpone the trial. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine urged that as no affidavit had been put in on the other side, there really was no opposi tion to the postponement. It was the clear duty of the attorney for the prosecutor to bring forward all the evi dence he could obtain for the guidance of the counsel. Mr. Justice Crompton, after consulting with Mr. Baron Bramwell, said the affidavit disclosed grounds upon which the trial should not be proceeded with directly. Perhaps it would be advisable to postpone the trial until the first day of next session. He had heard from Mr. Straight, the Clerk of the -Arraigns, that that would suit the convenience of all at the Old Bailey. Sergeant Parry inquired whether their lordships would object to the trial proceeding on Monday next. Mr. Justice Crompton said that would be too soon. Public justice demanded that such a case should be fully investigated. Monday, July 4, would be the day. Sergeant Parry—That would be granting the application in full. Mr. Justice Crompton—Yes, that was so. The trial would proceed on the morning of Monday, July 4, subject to the convenience of the Lord Chief Justice. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Which Chief Justice—of the Queen's Bench or of the Common Pleas ? Mr. Justice Crompton—l really don't know which. (Laughter.) The trial was then postponed until Monday, July the 4th CHARGE OF MURDER. Samuel Adams, shoemaker, 3a, Was indicted for the wil ful murder of Martha Christmas Page, in the parish of llornsey. Mr. Bodkin conducted the prosecution, and. Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner. The learned counsel, having stated the case to the jury, called Mrs. Elizabeth Reynolds, who said—l resided in the Neckinger-road, Bermondsey. On the sth of May I was at No. 2, Howard-road, Kingsland. My daughter was with me. We were going to Abney-park Cemetery, On that day I saw Martha Page. She was a servant at No. 2, Howard-road. She was going a short distance to show us the way. Just before we were going to start there came a knock at the door. Martha Page went to open it. When I was leaving the house I saw the prisoner standing at the door talking to the deceased. Page had been stending at the door about ten minutes before I went out. I asked the prisoner to allow Martha to show us to the cemetery. I don't recollect that he made any answer. Martha Page then left me and my daughter, and shut the door after, her. After we had gone a short distande the prisoner came up and spoke to us. He said, " Will you tell Me where she is F" The deceased said, "No ; I will not." He made a step forward and drew a knife from his breast pocket' with his right hand, and then made a thrust at the lower part of her person. He struck at her three times.- She immediately screamed out " Oh, he's stabbed me." The prisoner used some very bad expres sions-at the time about his wife and sister. Page was un able to proceed from exhaustion. A conveyance was pro- I cured, and she was taken,to the German Hospital, Dalston. When she was undressed, I saw a wound in the groin. It was in the same place as I saw the prisoner strike the deceased. The prisoner was taken into custody immediately after he had stabbed Page. Cross-examined—l don't know what the prisoner was saying to the decased. I could scarcely hear them talking. I never heaid him use the words "my wife." When he spoke 'to Page in the road, I then heard him ask about his wife, but only once. It was not in a beseeching tone. I should not imagine from the manner in which the prisoner spoke that he was over anxious. She spoke kindly to him in reply. He never said, after he had stabbed her, " I begged of you to tell me where my wife was." He said something about his wife keeping a house of ill fame. When he struck the woman he was calm and collected. I perceived no signs of passion. He was not the least excited by drink. Elizabeth Jane Reynolds, daughter of the last witness, was next examined. She confirmed in every particular the evidence of her mother. Mr. Edward Cartwright said—l reside at 3, Howard road, next to the house in which the deceased was stopping. On the sth of May I was standing in my shop. I saw the prisoner talking to some person at No. 2. He remained talking about ten minutes. I heard him swear at• the person towhom he was talking, and ask where his wife was. In about ten minutes after I saw Mrs. Reynolds, her daughter, and Martha leave the house,and cross the road,prisoner following. After they had gone about 20 yards from No. 2, I saw the prisoner advance to, and strike three times at the deceased. She screamed out, and said he had stabbed her. I then ran up. The prisoner began to curse and swear, and said his wife had been taken away to keep a bad house. A policeman came up and took him into custody. Mrs. Scovill—l reside at Mary-street, Hoxton. The prisoner is the landlord of the house. His wife lived with him until a week before this affair happened. They sepa rated through drink. I saw him leave the house on the morning of the melancholy occurrence. I saw him shar pening a knife. After he had done so I saw him put a cork on the point of the knife, and then put it in his pocket. Before he left home he' asked me if I had seen his wife. I said no, but I had seen his wife's sister (the deceased). He asked what she had to say for herself. I said nothing particular; but she said his wife would never return. He said he would look for his wife, and if he found her he would lay her a corpse. He said if he met Martha Page and she said two words to him he would "rip her up." begged of him not to do so, as he would be hanged. He said he would rather be hanged than live as he was living. He did not do any work that morning Cross-examined—I never knew him go out to work. I He always worked at home. I have blown him to go out to buy leather, but I never knew him to take his knife with him. He sharpened his knife upon the ordinary rubber. He . might have carried the knife about with him, but I don't know that he did. When sober he was very kind to his wife. I never knew the prisoner had received any injury on his head. He used to blame Page for his wife leav ing him. This closed the case for the prosecution. After Mr. Sleigh had addressed the 'jury for the prisoner, The learned Judge summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Proclamation for silence having been made, Mr. Justice Crompton, put on the black cap, and, addres sing the prisoner, saiff—Samuel Adams, the jury have, after a very patient trial, found you guilty of the crime of murder, and I am bound to say I entirely agree with that verdict. I could not for an instant imagine any other ' result could have been arrived at. This is another instance of the fatal effects of indulging in drink, for in your sober moments you appear to have been a well conducted man. Nothing like provocation was given by the unfortu nate woman, yet you hastily sent her to her eternal account. The law is more merciful to you as it allows you time :to repent, and I eittnestlY. implore you to avail yotirsaf of ft....Nothing further t to pass upon you the dreadful sentence of the la w , which is, that you be taken from hence to the • place from whence you came, and from thence to the place of execution, and that you there be hanged by the neck until you are dead, and your body afterwards be buried within the precincts of the prison, and may the Lord God Almighty have mercy upon your soul. The prisoner throughout the whole of the proceedings manifested the utmost unconcern. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,(T_HIS Day: M ARLBOROUGH -STREET. - . ROBBERY AT A SILVERSMITH'S.—Joseph Hill, of 21, Pitt-street, a journeyman silversmith, in the employ of Mr. Emmanuel, silversmith, of Hanover-square, was charged with stealing two unfinished silver spoons, the property of his employer. • Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prosecution. Mr. Francis Higgins, in the employ of Mr. Henry Emmanuel, of Hanover -square, said the prisoner had been in prosecutor's employ for about five months. He had not seen the spoons produced, which were the property of his employer, for six weeks, and about three weeks ago they were missed from a box in the workshop in Riding-house street, near the part of the shop where the prisoner was at work. In consequence of a communication he gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. George Seymour Chapman, pawnbroker, of London street, Fitzroy-square, said that on Tuesday prisoner offered the spoons, bent double at the time, for sale. Thinking they were not silver, he returned them to him. The as sistant put some questions to him, and he said he was a journeyman silversmith. He took them in to show his father, in consequence of seeing that they were new, and when he came back the prisoner was gone., He had told his foreman that he had bought them for ss. His father then gave information to the police. Prisoner said the witnesses were all mistaken, and that spoons of the description of those produced were kept in another place. Mr. Bingham said he seemed to know well where they were kept. Lambert, 68 G, asked for a remand, which was granted. THAMES. PLUNDERING LUGGAGE FROM INDlA.—David Adams, aged 49, a dock labourer, was brought before Mr. Yardley, on remand charged with stealing a valuable diamond ring, a pair of gold-mounted spectacles in a green case, and a quantity of gold coins, the property of Mrs. Barbara `Vile son Morant, a widow lady, residing at Rodmishara Lodge, near Sittingbourne, Kent; and Susan Bruson, a fat, vulgar, and dissipated-looking woman, for many years a thief and brothel keeper, of No. 24, John's-place, Baker-street, Step ney, was also brought up on remand charged with feloni ously receiving the property well knowing it to be stolen. The facts of this case are somewhat singular. On 17th May last the female prisoner offered in pawn to Mr. Red fearn, a pawnbroker, of 7, Cannon-street, St. George. in-the- East, a pair of gold-mounted spectacles in a green case. She asked for a loan upon the spectacles, the value of which was stated by Mr. Redfearn to be at least £4. The prisoner could not describe the value or know what sum to ask as a loan upon them. The prisoner said the spectacles belonged to her husband who was a searcher or labourer in the docks, and that he had had them for some time. Mr. Redfearn was not satisfied with the woman's account, and , he detained the spectacles and handed them over to the police. The robbery, of which the spectacles were partly the produce, was not discovered until several weeks after wards. It appeared that Mrs. Morant was the widow of an English clergyman who died in the East Indies, where she had been staying for twenty years with him. Soon after the lamented death of her husband Mrs. Morant pre pared to return to her native country, and in May, 1858, she packed up her luggage and consigned it to her agent in Eng land. Mrs. Morant came overland to this country, and her luggage did not arrive here until September last, and it was landed from the ship Hydaspes, in the Victoria Dock. There were 15 packages. A few days since Mrs. Morant, on exa mining her late husband's luggage, missed his gold mounted spectacles, a diamond ring, and a quantity of gold coins. Information was given to the police, and upon the spectacles which Mrs. Bruson offered in pawn being shown to her she immediately identified them as her property which she had packed among her luggage in India 13 months ago. On the prisoner being taken into custody on the Bth inst. by Police-sergeant Stimpson, 21 K, she said that the spectacles had been given to her by a sailor who had been staying in her house four days, and who had no money. Stimpson added that the prisoners had cohabited together as man and wife for many years, and that he knew them both for a considerable time. Ho had taken thieves out of their house, and many robberies had been committed in it. On Thursday last he found the male prisoner at work in the Victoria Dock, Plaistow. On making him acquainted with the charge, Adams said he knew nothing at all about the robbery. He then asked Adams where he lived, to which he replied, in John's place, and that he had cohabited with Bruson many years. Evidence was given that when Mrs. Morant's l u ggage was landed from the Hydaspes the packages were opened and examined by the Customs' officers in the usual manner, and afterwards repacked by the Dock Company's men. The prisoner Adams was one of th e men w h o ass i s t e d in re-packing the goods, and had an opportunity of stealing the articles and coins missing. Stimpson said there were two former convictions against Bruson for felony. Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for trial, and directed Stimpson to produce evidence of the former con victions when they were tried. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, &e'en o'clock.

One of the most extraordinary and at the same time daring robberies that has occurred has come under the no tice of the inhabitants of Plaistow and Stratford ; and the facts adduced as evidence against a person now in castody are most novel. An old lady named Martindale, who is above one hundred years of age, occupied a house (with her two daughters aged sixty and seventy) in the Plaistow Broadway. Another daughter named Sutton, also 70, lives at No. 20, High-street, Hoxton. Mrs. Sutton, having been a sufferer on two occasions from the visits of thieves who must have known she kept large sums of money in her house, entrusted her mother with a cashbox containing £4OO in notes and gold, some silver spoons, and the probate of her husband's will. This she did because her mother never left the house, and also be cause she imagined that no one would believe Mrs. Martin dale kept such an amount in her house. Some few days ago one of the daughters, who is paralysed and half blind, was sitting by the parlour window about half-past six in the evening, and she observed a figure dressed in a gown, and with a shawl thrown over its head, enter the apartment. This figure went to the drawers, and taking out something left the room, closing the door, which before was open. When the other daughter came in she was told of the fact, and seeing a bonnet and shawl in the passage exclaimed that a man had been there. Upon making fur ther search, the loss of Mrs. Sutton's cash box, and its contents was announced, to the dismay of the poor old woman, who was half mad at the ill news Now the person in c ustody, named Hagerbotham, who is a nephew of Mrs. Sut ton, was positively sworn to, by these witnesses living nea r the snot of the depredations, as being the person who entered the house about the time mentioned by the afflicted daughter. One of these witnesses declared that she saw the prim ener enter the house about half-past five and leave about; half-past six. One of the daughters missed a sum of £5 from her bed-room, from which the gause shawl had be a n so unceremoniously borrowed by the thief or thieves. Before the last ex; urination Mr. Beard, who attended for the prosecution, asked for a remand that the depositions of the afflicted daughter might be taken. Mr.' Soloman, ,for the prisoner, urged that the evidence was purely circumE ttantial, and objected, to any further re. mand, but the mag ist rate (Capt. I'ellatt) said it was a case of too great importance, and a robbery of too extensive a character to be hur; led over, and he should grant the re mand.--Bail refuse( L. Sutton was, in court, and was much excited at the loss, this being the third time she has been plundered of a large sum. The xi( rtes are stopped at the Bank of EnglaL d and strenuous exer dons are being made to trace them. At least £l7O of the £4 00 was in gold. THE FREN.H PRESS ON THE WAR. The withdravral of the Austrian forces to the line of the Minvcio does not appear to the Pays likely to protect them effectually, and our contem porary expresses. great disregard, not to say con tempt, for forti Red places. The following is an extract from the article : "Where will . the Austrians stop ? On the line of the Oglio, 6r only on that of the Mincio ? We incline to think that it will be on the latter, for Count de Gruune, in an official despatch, declares that the army left the line of the Adda to appr , pach their reinforcements—that is to say, Mantua and Verona. It is there fore probable th.et a great battle will be fought between the 0g1;.13, the Mincio, and the Lago Garda —in the field immortalised by the campaign of 1796-7 ; and that; battle will be decisive. A second victory of Magenta would terminate the campaign. As to the famous •quadrangle, we must declare that it inspires us little respect. Of what use are the fortresses ? Che fate of Pavia and Piacenza tells us—cannon are ;piked, ammunition is thrown into the water, rampa r is which cost much time and money to build are blown up, and the troops retire, leaving behind them a h.E.ap of ruins. A battle lost on the Mincio would cause the fall of Mantua and Verona, just as the bat tle of Magenta caused the fall of Piacenza and Pcn..via. 'Things passed differently in 1797. At that time the Lstrian armies having been dispersed, - Wurmser, who was confined in Mantua, gave up , the place by honourable capitula tion to General Bonaparte. A siege would have had no other re gialt than to make prisoners of the last Austrian soLdiers." The Patrie re o larks as follows on the movement of the Austrians since the battle of Magenta The retreat of the Austrians is changed into a rout; and in or iler that our triumph should be complete, the pro clamation of the Emperor to the Italians has resounded throughout Europe as a new victory. Such generosity after so many sacrifices, and so great moderation after such heroism, are well calculated to astonish the world. The pro clamation of Napoleon 111., grand as an inspiration of Corneille, is one of those pages which does not require time to ibecome historical, and which from the first moment. belongs to posterity. The Constitutibnnel remarks on the course pur sued by the Au: itrians on their entry into Pied mont, their viol.ent proclamations and excessive exactions tendi o g, it declares, to confirm the exactitude of tho complaints made for so many years by the Lc n nbard population of the severity of the rule to which they were subjected. The following are s‘n•me of our contemporary s obser vations : " Could anyeaing be more injudicious than the line of conduct followed by the Austrian authori ties in Italy since the outbreak of the war P It was desirable to prove to the world that the Aus trian administrt it ion was the most paternal possible, and that there were in reality no grounds for the complaints alleged as the reason for calling a congress. But what has been the conduct of the Austrian Government, or, at least, of its agents in Italy ? Tk.ey have published proclamations of the most outrageous violence. Death is the punishment denounced in every paragraph, and one cannot help asking, on reading these procla mations, how any subject of 'Austria, however peaceably incline d, can be certain of not committing some one of the "long litany of offences enumerated in the decrees o4' most Catholic Austria. We will not speak of t b,e exactions and brutalities which may have 13(1 , 2n committed by the Austrian army during ,its brief sojourn in Piedmont. Let us admit t h at soldiers in actual warfare, and especially Cro:6 ts, may not be always models of self-denial. Is cit the less true that, in the present instance, the Cr , overnment of Vienna, instead of giving the re his to the passions of its soldiers in an enemy's country, ought, as a measure of sound policy, t , o , have enforced stricter discipline than on other ( casions, so as to give, in the sight of all Europe. a. humane and civilising character to the exercise of its power in Italy ? But, no ! the Austrian Gove mment has done just the reverse, as if only a axious to show its contempt for the opinions of th( .e world." We are maul ?: ited to state that a meeting will be held of the memb a rs of the Hon. Societies of the Inner and Middle Temple o• a Wednesday, the 22d of June, 1859, in the hall of the M id tdle Temple at 4 o'clock precisely, for the purpose of takinl i nto consideration the propriety of form ing a Volunteer It fie Corps. a FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT. Intelligence was received yesterday (Wednesday) at Bristol, of a terrible boat accident, by which from 10.,t0 16 persons were unhappily deprived of life, having occurred off Watchet, a pretty little watering place, which, from its seclusion, is not much resorted to, on the Somersetshire coast. The particulars which have yet come to hand are of a meagre description, and the excitement which it has given the to is painfully increased by the un certainty which prevails as to the exact number of the sufferers, and of which of the many families who are concerned they are members. The only details which have yet reached us are these :—A steam packet, named the Neath Abbey, was advertised for a Whitsuntide holiday excursion to Alinehead and Watchet, and the weather proving particularly favourable for out-of-dOor amusements, a large number of persons availed themselves of the oppor tunity which it offered. The packet, when she left Bristol, was crowded with persons of both sexes, all ages, and of different grades in life. The coast slopes out so gently at Watchet that vessels of any burthen cannot run in near to the shore, and pas sengers have to be landed and re-embarked by means of boats. The landing had been effected safely, and the passengers had had some hours of enjoyment when the time arrived for rejoining the ship. Four boats, all of them well filled, were put off from the beach, and after they had stood out for some distance, it was found that two of th em were unseaworthy, and made water very fast. The persons who were in one of them succeeded in getting to a sort of reef,which lies off some distance from the y beach, and were thus enabled to keep above water until boats could be put off to their rescue. The second, in which there were from 12 to 16 persons, was less fortunate. The poor crea tures were observed frantically waving their hands and making other signs of distress, and their screams could be heard both from the vessel and the shore. Boats were lowered from the Neath Abbey steam packet with all possible despatch, but before they could reach the leaky boat, which was half a mile from them, she sank with all that were in her. It is known that one person was picked up alive, and that three dead bodies had been recovered, but beyond that all is as yet matter of uncertainty, the general impression being that all, or nearly all, must have perished. The Neath Abbey was ex pected at Bristol last night, and would no doubt bring reliable particulars of the catastrophe, re specting which the most intense anxiety prevails. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. BRISTOL, Thursday Mornin g.—Additional information has been received in this city of this melancholy occurrence. It was supposed on Tuesday that 12 or 14 persons, who were missing, had perished ; but it is now ascertained that six persons have lost their lives. It appears that no boats had been provided at Watchet to convey the excursionists on board the steamer, but there were several boats on the beach, and some of these were put into requisition to make the passage from the shore to the steamer. One or two parties had reached the steamer in safety when the fearful occurrence took place. Tile ill-fated boat was about half a mile from the shore when suddenly a heavy swell took her broadside, and in an instant she capsized, turned bottom up, and men, women, and children were seen clutching, tossing, and gasp ing in a struggling group, amid the foaming tide, which was then coming in very fast. Strong and quick did the men in the second boat pull towards them, but one by one the heads disappeared below the surface of the sea, and when at last the boat reached the spot, almost all of them had sunk. One of th men in the boat, however, matiaged to seize a woman by the hair of her 4 head just as she was sinking, and she is now in a fair way of recovery. The bodies of two men, apparently watermen, were also dragged into the boat, but all efforts to restore animation in either case proved ineffectual. A second respectably-dressed female was rescued, and has shown signs of consciousness, but is still in a lingering state, and fears are entertained of her recovery. Just as one of the men in the boat leaned forward within a yard of another sinking woman to catch her by the hair of her head, she flung up her arms and sank. The passengers in the sinking boat included a young woman; with an infant in her arms. When the boat cap sized, she was seen floating, upheld by her clothing, with the child clasped to her breast, and as she was carried away by the tide she raised up the baby in her arms, as if to implore help on its behalf. No help reached her, though, it is said, a sailor on board the Neath-Abbe v plunged into the sea to save her, but. was not successful. The fol lowing parties have been saved :—Messrs. Wed lake, Larkham, Short, E. Edwards, Greenslade, and the Misses Mogg and Case. Lost:—Mr. Lewis and wife, Messrs. Samuel Venn, 'Henry Larkham, jun., and George Mogg ; and Miss Sarah Seymour. Mr. Ashford, the coroner for "West Somerset,will open an inquest on the bodies this day (Thursday). MURDER AND SUICIDE. Yesterday morning, about a quarter to eleven, the neighbourhood of the Clerkenwell Police-court was thrown into a state of great excitement by the announcement that a most dreadful murder had been committed at 52, Swinton street, St. Pancras, nearly opposite to the above police-court. From inquiries that were made on the spot by our reporter it appears that a working jeweller, of the name of John Croft, has resided with his wife and family for some time past in the front and back parlour of the above house. About two months since his wife, Elizabeth Croft, was confined of her second child, and since then she had been in a very desponding and low state of mind in consequence, as was stated, of her imagining that she would not be able to take proper care of her children. Mr. Selwood, the surgeon, of Percy-street, had been attending her, but since Saturday, owing to domestic afflictions, he had ceased visiting her, and it was understood that she was about visiting some friends in the country. About nine o'clock yesterday morning the hus band went to his employment in the City, and afterwards the wife was seen about the house as usual. Shortly before eleven o'clock Mrs. Croft sent her servant, a girl about 14 years of age, out for an errand, and after an absence of about twenty minutes she returned and found that she could not obtain admission. Feeling somewhat alarmed she communicated with a Mrs. Clarke, and she also knocked at the door, but could not obtain a reply. After the lapse of some time, and not hearing the children cry or any one moving about, Mrs. Clarke called in Mr. Liddiard, a painter, re siding at 11, Swinton-street. A ladder being placed next 'the back parlour window, Mrs. Clarke ascended, and seeing that the children were covered with blood and the woman lying in a very peculiar position, the parties communicated to the police their suspicions that all was not correct. Inspector Allen, of the G division, at once pro ceeded to the house, and police-constable Thomas Bailey, 451 A, effected an entrance by the back parlour window. A most frightful sight presented itself. On a French bedstead lay the lifeless bodies of Mrs. Croft and her two children, the blood at the time being quite warm, and oozing from the wounds. The children are both females, one being of the age of three years, and named after the mother, and the other, named Ann, as before stated, about tno months old. Both their throats were cut from ear to ear, and the incisions were very deep. The elder child appears to have two wounds on the throat, and from its appearance would seem to have been awake, and to have put its hands up to its throat. The mother, it would appear, cut the throat of the eldest child first, and then the youngest. After this she must have sat on the side of the bed, and cut her own throat with her right hand, and when she fell on the bed, with her left hand covered her face with the end of the sheet. The children were in their night clothes' the mother fully dressed, and. her clothes saturated with blood. The razor with which she committed the dreadful act was found between her feet, and is now in po s _ f ts t v h o e o p 'c o lo li c c k e. the husband of th e un f ortunate had. o li c the house asked the reason of the mob re turned home to dinner as usual, and o n b e i n g outside, and the police insid e. ew s n e o s tAn s e i ll b. o ai on n n ug o t e cu w r r a e s d a , sked u p stairs, and when told wh a t fell down in a violent fit of hyste r i cs. The unfortunate wom an , i t is lat s e t l a y te s d aid w was respectably connected, and was about 25 years of age. It was stated th a t she had she veryw as tired of her life, and had b state. een in a very desponding Inspector Allen at once took possession of the room, and information was immediately forwarded to Mr. Wakley, the 'coroner. During the day large numbers of persons sur rounded the house, and had it not been for the excellent arrangethents of the police, the street would have been impassable. THE INQUEST. This morning 111 r. Wakley, the coroner, opened an inqui ry i n t o th e causes at t en di ng th e d eath o f Elizabeth Croft and her two female children. The jury having been empannelled, proceeded to view the bodies. On their return to the inquest room, • The Coroner said he thought, before they com menced their inquiries, it would be advisable to have a lost nzortein examination of the head. of Mrs. Croft, in order to ascertain her state of mind at the time she committed the deed. The jury consented, and the inquiry w as ad journed until Saturday morning next.
