c THE ATTACKS ON THE 7AEPINGS. (From the London Gazelle of last night.) WAR OFFICE, JULY 18, 1862. Despatches, of which the following are copies, have been received at the War Office from Briga dier General Staveley, commanding h e r Majesty's troops in China : No. 22. Head-quarters, Shanghae, April 19, 1862. Sir,—ln my letter of the 6th inst. (extract an nexed) I reported to the military secretary, for the information of his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief, that, i n compliance with the instructions received. from her Majesty's minister at Pekin, to drive the rebels from the vicinity of Shanghae, the naval and military force at Inv dis posal made a successful attack, on the 14th instant, on the entrenched camp of On-katz, two miles from Shanghae. 2. I have now to report the capture of Tserpoo, another of the strongholds of the rebels, by a com bined English and French naval and military force. Tserpoo is situated seven miles up a creek run ning into the Woosung River, 12 miles above and on the opposite bank to Shanghae, and is one of the principal places on that side of the Woosung River, from whence the rebels devastated the country. Vice-Admiral Sir J. Hope and the French Admiral Protet, having placed under my orders the seamen, troops, and guns detailed in the margin,* the force, with the regiments under my immediate command, numbering in all 1,951 men and 12 guns, as per accompanying return, was con veyed in gunboats, and landed at the mouth of the Tserpoo Creek on the morning of the 17th instant. By two p.m. the force had arrived in front of Tserpoo, a long and very strongly entrenched stockade and partly-walled town. The part I selected for attack, though composed of two small bastions and a curtain, each bas tion mounting two guns, appeared the easiest of approach. Having thrown out Captain Burton's detachment of the 99th Regiment and a company of French Zephyrs to cover the advance of the guns, the former took advantage of some good cover afforded by ruined houses 200 yards from the rebel works, the English naval and Royal Artillery guns took up a position on some mounds to the right rear of the skirmishers, at a distance of 400 yards from the wall, the French guns being in the left rear of the covering party. The infantry and small arms men of the navy, provided with bridges, ladders, and axes, being under cover, and in imme diate support of the guns. After five rounds of shell from each gun, all which burst in and over the works with great precision, the English and French skirmishers, urged by the spirit of rivalry which invariably breaks out on such occasions made a sudden rush at the place, compelling me to cause the guns to cease firing, and the sth Bombay Light Native Infantry to dash up to the immediate sup port of the skirmishers ; and thus, with the assist ance of the bridges and axe-parties of the sth Bom bay Native Light Infantry and Royal navy, the difficulties offered by a brisk fire from the rebels, an abattis of felled trees, two staked ditches, and a 14-feet wall flanked by two bastions, were overcome with, considering the strength of the place, the trifling loss noticed in the margin.t I shall do myself the honour to report by the next mail the measures contemplated by Sir J. H o pe, Admiral Protet, and myself, for the further expulsion of the insurgents from the neighbour hood —I have the honour, &c., (Signed) C. W. D. STAVELEY, Brigadier General Commanding in China.

F,XTILACT OF LETTER ADDRESSED TO THE MILITARY SECRE TARY, HORSE GUARDS, DATED SHANGHAE, APRIL 6, 1862, REFERRED TO IN THE FOREGOING DESPATCH. I have the honour to report for the information of his Royal Highness the General Commanding in-Chief that, in consequence of instructions I re ceived from Mr. Bruce, her Majesty's minister at Pekin, to drive the rebels from the vicinity of Shan ghae, I attacked, on the 4th inst., a camp contain ing about 9,000 rebels, 12 miles distant from this place, with a force numbering in all 1,700 men and 12 shell guns, and composed as follows, viz., 400 seamen and marines and 3 guns, placed at my dis posal by Vice-Admiral Sir James Hope ; 300 sea men and 4 guns, placed at my disposal by the French Admiral Protet ; half a company of Royal Artillery, with 4 mountain guns and one 24-howit zer, under Capt. Bradshaw, R.A.; 70 men of the 99th Regiment, under Capt. Burton; the sth Ben gal Native Infantry, under Lieut.-Colonel Stanley ; and the 22d Punjabees, under Major Stafford; the latter military forces being under the command of Lieut.-Col. Moody, R.E., the officer in command of the troops at Shanghae. Colonel Ward of the Im perial army, who has been drilling some Chinese, also assisted with 200 of his men. After about three quarters of an hour's shelling the rebels bolted from their stronghold, which consisted of a chain of forts very strongly stockaded and entrenched ; we pur sued them for about two miles, and then returned and burned their camp. The loss of the rebels was about 300; the casualties on our side, one sepoy, of the sth Bengal Native Infantry, killed, and two privates of the 22d Punjabees, slightly wounded. — I have, &e., C. STAVELEY, Brigadier General, Commanding in China. P.S. Lieut. Birch, of the 22d Punjabees, who was my only staff officer, was most active, not only during the action, but in making preparations for the expedition. Headquarters, Shanghae, April 25, 1862.

Colonel Ward at present occupies Sung- Keoug, and he undertakes, as soon is Tsing-poo is taken, to establish his head-quart- s there and to hold it; the Chinese authorities have undertaken, and will be required to furnish sufficient garrisons for Kading, Najaor, and Tsaolin ; in each of the two first of which it will also be expedient to place 200 troops, half English and half French, in sup port of the Chinese, until Colonel Ward's force is sufficiently augmented to enable him to replace them by 300 of his men. 3. Previous to the capture of Kading and the other towns from the rebels, proper arrangements shall be made to prevent any men leaving their ranks for the purpose of pillage, and subsequently to collect whatever may be of value, in order to its fair distribution amongst the troops, to whom the same is to be made known before the commence ment of the operations. 4. After the proposed operations have been brought to a successful conclusion it is intended to retain at Shanghae 500 French infantry, and of English a half battery of artillery, 250 European and 350 native infantry. (Signed) J. HOPE, Vice Admiral. A. PROTET, Contre Amiral. C. STAVELEY, Brigadier General. Head-quarters, Shanghae, May 3, 1862. Sir,—l have the honour to report for your in formation, and with a view of carrying out the plan of operations detailed in my letter of the 25th ult., that the walled city of Kading was taken from the rebels by escalade, on the Ist inst., by her Ma jesty's troops under my immediate command, to gether with the seamen and marines of the Royal navy, and the French troops placed at my disposal respectively, by Vice Admiral Sir J. Hope, K.C.8., and Admiral Protet, of his Imperial Majesty's navy. 2. On the 26th April part of the force left Shang hae and arrived at the ruined town of Nezang, some five miles from Kading, where they found the rebels in occupation of two small but strongly entrenched stockades on the Kading side of the town, and within gunshot of its suburb. 3. On the 27th I moved out with four mountain guns and 300 men, to reconnoitre these posts, and in effecting my object, I regret having to report that the Fort Adjutant of Shanghae (Lichtenant Brown, sth Regiment Bombay Native Infantry) and a private of the 67th Regiment, were danger ously wounded. 4. I found the stockade resting on the principal canal, and commanding the direct road and water communication to Kading—singularly well de. fended by ditches, staked on either side, five or six feet deep, and too broad for the plank bridges with which the force was provided. 5. I resolved, therefore, to turn the position, and on the morning of the 29th passed the mountain guns and most of the troops over the canals, on the left of the stockades by means of pontoons, while the heavier guns shelled the enemy from the front. 6. As soon as it became apparent to the rebels that they were about to be surrounded, they quitted the stockade in disorder by the rear entrance, run ning the gauntlet of a fire from the 31st Regiment and 22d Punjaub Native Infantry at point blank range. 7. The 31st Regiment, followed by the remainder of the force, was then moved on in rapid pursuit, so that the rebels had not time to break down the bridges over the creeks and canals, between their recent position and Bailing_ 8. The whole force arrived in front of Kading in the course of the day. 9. The next day was spent in reconnoitring the city, and landing the heavy guns which had been brought up in boats by the main canal from Shanghae. 10. We found Kading to be a square walled town, with projecting gateways, mounting four guns in the centre of each face, thus furnishing flanking defences. The wall, including an eight feet parapet, measured 31 feet in height. The moat, which was 30 feet from the wall, was 45 feet broad and seven deep, strongly staked and stockaded on both sides. 11. One hour before dawn on the Ist instant the English and French guns were in position and the troops in their respective places under cover in a ruined suburb. At daylight the guns opened on the parapet, gateway, and the flanking defences in our front, and in an hour and a half had so far performed their work as to render an escalade practicable. 12. A bridge of boats was then formed by the navy, and the storming parties of the troops, Royal navy, and French, escaladed the walls without re sistance. 13. About 1,000 rebels were taken prisoners and some hundreds were killed in the city. The Chinese General Lee, whom I had placed outside the gates, so as to cut off the retreat of the insurgents, re ported to me that his troops had destroyed 2,300 of the enemy. 14. I have the satisfaction to state that these operations were' performed with comparatively slight loss to her Majesty's forces. 15. The troops returned this day to Shanghae, leaving a garrison of 200 British and 200 French troops to hold Kading until relieved by organised 16. A considerable amount of silver and a large quantity of rice were taken in the town, and I have much satisfaction in reporting that the orders pre viously given forbidding individuals plundering were obeyed by her Majesty's troops, seamen, and marines, to the letter. 17. The English and French admirals and myself propose our next operation being directed on the walled city of Tsing-poo, and I feel confident that we shall be in possession of it, and the other towns which complete the circuit of our limit of opera tions, in the course of three weeks, and before the hot weather sets in. 18. I beg to transmit a return of the troops, &c., employed in the recent operations, as well as a list of casualties. Respecting the latter, lam happy to state that those dangerously wounded are considered likely to recover.—l have, &c., (Signed) D. STAVELEY, Brigadier-General, Commanding H.B.M.'s Troops in China. The Right Hon. the Secretary of State for War. Head-quarters, Soonkong, May 14, 1862. Sir e —My letter of the 25th ult. has already ap prised you of the plan of operations agreed upon by Vice-Admiral Sir James Hope, Admiral Protet, of his Imperial Majesty's navy, and myself, for driv ing the rebels from Shanghae to a ladius of 30 miles. I reported the first step taken in the above opera tions in the capture of Kading. 2.

Tsing-poo I fo und to be about three miles circumference, entirely surrounded by a w all 25 feet high, and a ditch 10 feet deep and 60 feet w i de, the approaches affording but little cover, and canals intersecting the neighbourhood almost every 2 00 yards, rendering the country impassable except by means of bridges. Upon the walls several guns were mounted, varyi ng from 6 to 18-pounde rs, and very many large gingalls. 6. Having decided on the point of attack, the whole of the guns and troops, with the axe, ladder, covering and storming parties were in position by 4 a.m. the 12th inst. Parties of British and French seamen were placed under cover in small boats in canals leading into the moat, ready when the mo ment arrived to push forward and form bridges. At daylight the heavy guns opened fire, and by 7 THE - 1! ;SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EV ING, JULY _l9, 1861 a.m. two practicable breaches were established in the wall, the British naval 32-pounders, and espe cially a French rifled 64-pounder gun, which was worked from the only gunboat whose draught of water enabled, its being brought up, doing great execution. 7. The English and French bridge parties, under the protection of coverers, now cleared the stakes in the canals leading into the moat, and established two bridges across it. 8. As soon as the bridges were reported ready the French ladder and storming parties on the right, and the English, consisting of detachments of the 31st, 67th Regiments, and 22d Punjaub Native In fantry, on the left, advanced, the whole of the small guns being dragged forward and opening fire at the parapet during the movement. The enemy, however, did not quit the walls, but kept up a smart fire from gingalls up to the moment our men gained the top of the breach. 9. The troops having established themselves within the walls, the city wa s given in charge to Colonel Ward, of the Imperial service, and the allied force withdraivn. _ . 10. The next day the whole of the troops re turned to Soonkong to prepare for farther opera tions on the opposite side from Shanghae of the Woosung river. 11. We found that the rebels had built on the inside of the parapet a strong stockade, which ex tended all round the city ; this, with the parapet, formed a passage which was covered with a beamed and tiled roof for protection ; this roof, however, did not afford much safety to the defenders, four Armstrong guns having been placed in a position to partly enfilade the wall; almost every shell entered through the roof, and burst between the parapet and the stockade. 12. During the attack the city was surrounded by the Imperial troops, and Colonel Ward reports to me that the whole garrison has been made pri- soners, 13. In transmitting a list of casualties, I much regret having to report the death of Captain Brad shaw, R.A., from exposure and over exertion on the march to Tsing-poo ; in him the service has lost a most zealous and energetic officer. The health of the troops I have the satisfaction of reporting as being excellent.—l have, &c., (Signed) C. STAVELEY, Brigadier-General, Commanding H.B.M's. Troops in China.

Sir,—l have the honour to report for your infor mation the capture yesterday of the fortified town of Najow by the allied British and French forces, and I might have added with trifling loss, had it not been for the death of Admiral Protet, command ing his Imperial Majesty's naval forces in China, who was unfortunately shot through the heart during the advance of the storming party. In Admiral Protet the French navy has lost a most able and zealous officer, and one whose hearty energetic co-operation greatly conduced to the suc cess of the recent operations. The mail being on the eve of departure, I muss defer entering into details of the attack until another opportunity.

One of the most important links of evidence was yesterday obtained, which it is anticipated will go far to establish the gu ilt of the unhappy Mrs. M'Lachlan. Late last night Captain Weal' received a telegram from Superintendent Dewar, of the Hamilton District of Lanarkshire Police, which stated that after a very laborious search he and his officers had found, irt a field about a mile and a half from Hamilton, a brown merino dress and two petticoats, much torn and saturated with blood. From the description given of these articles there is no doubt entertained that they belonged to the female priso ner 111‘Lachlan, and that they are the garments worn by her on the night on which Jessie Macpher son was so brutally murdered. The clothes will, in due course, be brought down to Glasgow by Mr. Dewar for identification, but as already stated there is evidence almost amounting to a certainty which leads us to say that they will be found to belong to the miserable woman. We understand, also, that she has been traced to have been at a point very near the place where the clothing was found, so that her connection with them will in like manner be established. The various steps in this deplorable case have come out with remarkable regularity, and since the discovery of the stolen plate scarce a day has passed but has reproduced a new discovery a ll-important in furthering the ends of justice. But n one of the former etages of this case can be compared with im portance to the one just arrived at ; and none has had, in any view of it, a more serious bearing on the position and prospects of the unfortunate prisoner. Her connection with the silver plate was, to say the least of it, most suspicions, notwithstanding her assertion that she came by it honestly ; the tracing of the deceased's clothing to the prisoner was like wise a fact most condemnatory, taken in conjunc tion with her previous denial of all knowledge of it ; and now her own clothing having been re covered saturated with blood, hidden in a place near which she is known to have been, is the consumma tion of the whole matter. If she changed colour, as we believe she did when the stolen property of Jessie Macpherson first came under her eyes after she was apprehended, what must . the shock be which she will receive when her own gory garments are presented to her ? Yesterday forenoon we were enabled to give, in a second edition, the result of the consultation of Mr. Sheriff Strathern and Mr. Gemmel, procurator fiscal, with the Solicitor-General in Edinburgh the previous night. The intelligence arrivedin the morn ing, and was in effect that Crown Counsel saw no necessity for longer detaining old Mr. Fleming in custody, and directing that Mrs. M‘Lachlan should be fully committed for trial on a charge of murder and theft. This decision, of course, does not prevent the re-apprehension of Mr. Fleming, should anything further transpire to criminate him; but we need scarcely say that this is most impro bable. In all likelihood he may be made a witness, although in that position, we fear, his evidence will not be of much use to either side. In accordance with the above decision, a messenger repaired to the North Prison between 12 and 1 o'clock. When the cab drove up to the gate in Duke-street a great crowd quickly collected, so that it was evident that the old man would receive some kind of reception from the crowd if he departed in that manner. As this was to be deprecated, the cab was sent off to the gate at the back of the prison in Drygate,which had the effect of drawing off the whole of the mob, who seemingly thought it was intended to bring out either of the prisoners by that way. In this they were signally cheated; for while they were waiting with open months in Drygate, old Mr. Fleming walked out into Duke-street, accompanied by a friend, and got clear away unobserved. The scheme answered well, and did not seem to be dis covered for some time, as the people, after seeing the cab leaving Drygate empty, returned to Duke street, where they remained in small groups for hours afterwards. Mr. Fleming, after a short stay in the city, went down to Greenock by the 2 p.m. train, accompanied by two relatives. He at once proceeded to Gourock, where he joined the steamer Vulcan, and crossed over to the residence of his son at Dunoon. No doubt he took this route with the view of avoiding public observation. When the intimation was made to the old man that he was at liberty he did not seem to be at all taken by sur prise, and left the prison in as hale and hearty a state as when he entered it eight days before. At no part of that time did he betray the least anxiety for his personal safety, nor express the least doubt that after inquiry was made he would be shown to be quite free from all complicity in the murder, and was in every respect a striking contrast to the wretched woman he has left behind him in prison. She still declines to take sufficient food, and seems to be overcome by a sense of the awful position in which she stands. The Procurators-Fiscal were again examining witnesses in the case yesterday, and the crowd of hangers .on in Brunswick-street was as large as ever, although, if they had known it, they might have spared their pains, because the persons they so anxiously desired to see were not near that neighbourhood. They had the pleasure, however, of seeing several poor thieves taken into the County buildings for examination, and whom they sur rounded in a way that must have been highly amusing to these characters. Meanwhile, the police are still prosecuting their inquiries, in order to complete the evidence in the case, so that no loop hole of escape may be left. The publican who sup plied Mrs. M‘Lachlan with the liquor on the night in question has been found, so that the bottle dis covered in the press in the passage between the de ceased's bedroom and the kitchen of Mr. Fleming's house, may yet prove a strong piece of evidence, especially if it be identified as having been in the possession of the prisoner on the night of the murder. EXTRAORDINARY POISONING OF A YOUNG WOMAN AT HOLLOWAY• Yesterday Mr. J. Humphreys, the coroner, accompanied by Dr. Lankester, the recently-elected coroner for Central Middlesex, resumed an adjourned investigation at the Castle Tavern, Holloway-road, Islington, touching the death of Sarah Ryan, aged 24 years, residing with her mother at 8, Victoria-street, Barnsbury-road. The evidence taken at the opening of the inquiry on Fri day of last week went to show that on the previous Sunday, about one o'clock, deceased left her mother in excellent health and spirits to dine with Rosina Tuck, a friend, in service at 16, Coles's-terrace, Barnsbury-road. She arrived there directly afterwards, and having partaken very heartily of a dinner, consisting of boiled calf's head, vegetables, and currant tart, remained in the kitchen while Rosin% Tuck went out for an hour, leaving the only occu pant of the house, besides deceased, a man named James Perry Greening, a lodger, in the parlour. About five o'clock, a nephew of the servant Tuck, a boy of four teen years, called to see his aunt. He had to ring the bell four times before he could get an answer, and finally it was opened by Mr. Greening, who went away to his own room, and the boy entered the house and passed down stairs as he had done before when his aunt was home. Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, he was alarmed by deep groans proceeding from the back kitchen, and on entering it he discovered the deceased lying on the ground, her back supported against the wall of the copper, no cap on her head, her hair very un tidy, the body of her dress and ap ron wet from vomit, and one leg extended and exposed from her dress being drawn up about two inches above her knee. The boy spoke to her but could get no answer, and on acci dentally looking up the stairs as he stood after looking at the groaning woman, his eye caught sight of Mr. Greening looking down, He asked the boy what was the matter, and came down to endeavour to restore her. The boy said she was in a fit, and Mr. Greening thought a medical man should be sent for. At this juncture a second bell was heard at the front door, and Greening answered it , and ad mitted RoEina Tuck, Tuck thought she might be - subject to fits, and said she found her sitting upright, an d not rest ing a g ainst ho c o pper ; that her hair w as no more untidy than when she left her, and that she did not no tice that her dress was particularly ruffled. She took the unfortunate girl into the front kitchen and laid her down before the fire upon the hearth rug, whilst Mr. Greening left Tuck and went to his own room, after opening the door to her. Hav ing conveyed the insensible and speechless girl into the front kitchen, Tuck found her hands get cold and her groans grow fainter, and b eco ming alarmed, she said she at onc e fetched a medical man. Deceased had been there on previ.. ous occasions. Mr. Wilson, M. R. C. S., of Brunswick -terrace, Barnsbury„, road, deposed on the first occasion that he directly attended, and strange to say, found, in his firm opinion, that deceased must have died about two hours before, and under very sus picious circumstances. The case was accordingly adjourned. On the present occasion Mrs. Ryan, the mother, Rosina Tuck, and her nephew George Tuck, were thoroughly examined and cross-examined at great length, by the learned coroner, and the evidence elicited, though singularly strange in some points agreed in the main with that given above. Mrs. Ryan swore positively that her deceased daughter was a good, steady girl, had no followers, and had got a new situation, and had bought a pair of new boots that very day, and she was sure did not expect death. Rosina Tuck left her well, and admitted that Mrs. Burt was her mistress and landlady of the house, and now out of town. She saw no recognition at a chance meeting in the house that day between deceased and Mr. Greening. Mr. John Wise Wilson, M.R.C.S., was here recalled to give the result of a post mortem examination. He corro borated his former evidence, that it was close upon 6 o'clock when he attended the deceased, and found she had been dead at least from one hour and a half to two hours. The face was extensively livid, the eyes very prominent, and the pupils much dilated. The stomach was very much dis tended on account of the time that elapsed before the post mortem examination was made, He described other ap pearances in various parts of the body of poisoning, and then went on to say that he did not discover any particular inflammation in the stomach and intestines such as would be expected from poison. The womb, on being opened, had a peculiar appearance, which he was not satisfied about, and he gave it up, with other internal portions, to Pro fessor Harley for analytical examination. He could find no disease or other circumstances to account for death. Dr, George Harley deposed that he was professor of medical jurisprudence for the University College. He re ceived from Mr. Wilson, in sealed jars, the stomach and its contents, a portion of intestine and its contents, the womb, and the heart. In opening the womb, he detested concep tion of between the second and third week, and produced it in a phial. The stomach was filled with gas and carbonic acid, along with which was a peculiar odour. The contents were first tested for a mineral acid, but with a negative re sult. Neither was there any alkaloid, but he was enabled to detect a fragrant essence, resembling fine liqueur. On testing this fragrant essence, he found it contained prussic acid, and he here produced some Prussian blue obtained from it. On testing the contents of the stomach directly, he found it threw off a vapour containing a small quantity of prussic acid. As cherries and other food which he found in a partly digested state contained prussic acid, he tested such food and found that it gave an entirely different odour to that of the fragrant essence. It was also different to that odour emitted from such food with pure alcohol. He next obtained essence from cherries alone, but by no means could he obtain such fine essence, so that the conclusion was that it could not have been the action upon the food, or the contents of the food itself, that produced that es sence. To show that the poison was not produced after death it was important to know that the essence he obtained the first day was sufficient for his purpose, but, being very volatile, it diminished gradually the next day, and the day following, and finally disappeared altogether. That was also important to show to the world the necessity of making analysis as soon as possible. The present analysis was not made until the sixth day after the death, and if it had bean delayel a few days longer, it would have considerably diminished, so as not to be discovered ; and again, if it had been made earlier, he would have found very much more. From all the circum stances, he could come to no other conclusion than that deceased died from the mortal effects of prussic acid. Mr, Wilson recalled, swore to the same opinion from a] the appearances. Mrs. Ryan was nest recalled, and swore unhesitatingly that it was her firm conviction that her daughter had not died by her own hand, and that she thought it remarkably strange that upon her arrival at the house she found her body perfectly dead and cold, presenting the appearance of death having taken place some hours before, as stated by the medical man, whom Mr. Greening informed that she had but just died. The learned coroner lucidly summed up, and told the jury that with such facts before them he was disposed to again adjourn. The cause of death was now ascertained to be from deadly poison, and the next point to be ascertained was, who administered that deadly poison. The jury briefly deliberated, and unanimously agreed with the coroner upon the necessity of another adjourn- , ment. The inquiry then adjourned, after lasting several hours, ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—AYLESBURY, July 17. I (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn.) Antony Tomlinson, engine driver, was charged with the manslaughter of Edward Oliver. The prisoner was an engine driver on the North- Western Railway, and on Feb. 22 last was driving a coal train from Rugby to London. The deceased was a cattle driver, and was travelling in the break van of a cattle train proceeding in the same direc tion, and on the same line of rails, which left Rugby 10 minutes before the coal train. The cattle train left Rugby at 9.55 p.m., and on approaching Hans lope points, about 3 miles and a quarter from Wol verton, found the danger signal, indicating that the line was blocked. The driver of the cattle train thereupon slackened speed and proceeded at the rate of 7 or 8 miles an hour towards Wolverton. While proceeding at the above rate, and when about half a mile from Wolverton, the coal train ran into him, and a collision occurred by whieh the deceased was killed on the spot, and other persons more or less injured. It appeared that the coal train, which was driven by the prisoner, was proceeding at about 15 miles an hour at the time of the col- , lision, and the charge against the prisoner was that he had neglected his duty in not shutting off steam on seeing the danger signal at Hanslope. The jury acquitted the prisoner. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—WINCHESTER, JULY IS (Before Mr. Justice Williams.) THE FORDINGBRIDGE ATROCITY. This court opened yesterday morning under circum. stances of great excitement. Every cranny and corner of the plate was very soon crammed, and hundreds of persons could not obtain admission. George Jacob Gilbert, agep 30, described as a labourer, was indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Ann Susan Hall, at Fordingbridge. Mr. Prideaux, with Mr. Cole, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Bere defended the prisoner. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Prideaux opened the case on the part of the prosecution. The young lady whose violent and melancholy death was the subject of this inquiry was named Mary Ann Susan Hall, and was the only child of a farmer, residing upon a farm called Midgham Farm, in the parish of Fordingbridge. The distance from Midgham Farm to Fording bridge Church was about a mile. There was a public footpath leading through Midgham Moor. At the end of that moor was a stile, and then a lane called Holmes's-lane, which was bounded on one side by the moor and on the other side by a field called Harding's or Pinhorn's. In Harding's field there were two cows. Holme's-lane had a high bank and hedge on each side ; it was a very wet lane, having water running through it. The path went on to Fordingbridge Church. On the morn ing of Sunday, June 22, about ten o'clock, this young lady left her father's house for the purpose of going to Fordingbridge Church. She had on a bonnet with green flowers. She had in her hands parasol. She had a cloak or mantle, with some tassels; and she had with her two books which she was in the habit of taking to church, which she carried in her pocket. Mr. Hall's dairymaid would prove that it was about ten o'clock when this young lady left her father's house. He should call a little boy who sat in the same pew in which Miss Hall was in the habit of sitting, and he would tell them that Miss Hall was not at church that morning. He would call a witness named Hicklin, who would say that about a quarter past ten that morning he had occasion to go to Harding's field, where the cows ware, and he observed the cows running about in a state of great excitement and disturbance, but he did not look in the lane. Between two stiles there were several marks of footsteps, as if there had been trampling about, and on the follo w i ng d ay a piece of the green ornament of Miss Hall's bon net was picked up there. There were marks on the bank of the lane, showing that struggling had been going on in the lane. About half way up the lane a tassel was found in the branches—one of the tas sels of the young lady's mantle. Up to the end of the lane, covered with mud, with mud in her throat and mouth, with her dress much disordered, her pocket torn out, with several marks of violence on her throat, this young lady was found dead. There could not be a doubt that she had been murdered there, and after a violent struggle, resisting the attacks which had been made upon her—and it was by the sacrifice of her life that she had preserved her honour. But there was a gleam of light amid the shades and the darkness of this most melan choly and painful transaction. It would be some comfort to them, and a great comfort to her sorrow ing father and her friends, to feel that, although this young lady was compelled to struggle to the death, yet she had struggled with success, and had Passed through nature to eternity as unsullied in her person as she was pure in her mind. That she was murdered after a great struggle there could be no doubt. Then the painful duty the jury had to perform was this—who was the man who committed the murder? He would briefly point out to them the material facts upon which the prosecution relied. On two different Sundays, five weeks and three weeks before the 22d of June, the prisoner was walking with a young man named T urne r, when they saw Miss Hall pass on her way to church ; the prisoner, upon seeing Miss Hall, made use of some indecent expressions showing a desire to have improper intercourse with her. Turner asked him ll why he should l ike to go with her more than wi th any other girl. The prisoner replied he did not . know there was much difference, but there was a little more fancy. A witness named Haskell would tell them that on the morning of the murder, about 7 o'clock, he had occasion to pass through Hard ing's field, when he observed the cows, which were perfectly calm, and. there was nothing that attracted his attention; but on again being there about half-past 10 he observed footsteps by the lane, apparently of trampling, and that so far Went four yards up a ttracted his attention that he the lane, but was then stopped by the depth of water in the lane ; he saw a pressure on the bank, and it was evident that somebody had gone up the lane. He then went into a field called Lopez ; he went along the footpath and saw the pri soner coming up through Harding's field, some little distance off. They got within 20 yards of each other ; the prisoner had on a dark smockfrock. The trousers of the prisoner were wet up to the knees. His boots were unlaced. The cows appeared to be disturbed, and they were looking into the hedge, near which the body was found. Haskell went on towards Fordingbridge church. He ob served that the prisoner followed him until he came to the stile. He then got behind a tree, as if watching him. The next witness would be a man named Gosney, a shepherd, who had occasion on that morning to go to look after his sheep. He went into a field called Amberland, in which the sheep were. He sew the prisoner sitting in a dry ditch in which there was neither water nor mud. It was perfectly dry, and had been so for some days. The prisoner was sitting in that dry ditch, appa rently rubbing down his trousers, and as Gosney approached him he took up something, and he then walked on in the direction in which ho lived. The next witness would be Mrs. Philpotts, the wife of the half-brother of the prisoner, who would tell them that he breakfasted with the family that morning; he went out at half-past nine; he had on a white shirt which she had washed for him; it was then without a tear. He came back a g ain a little before one o'clock. Her little boy said he had seen his uncle George hang out his stockings in the hedge, and he put his hands on the prisoner's trou sers, and said, "Lord, uncle George, how wet your trousers are !" The prisoner made no reply. He then sat down and went to dinner with the family. After dinner the prisoner said he wished to change his shirt, which was a white one. Mrs. Philpotts told him where to find another shirt, and he went up and changed it. The white shirt was torn as i in a struggle, and the sleeves were wet. He should then prove by the dairymaid that at 12 o'clock that day she went to a christening at the church. She saw nothing to attract her attention in Harding's field. She returned about one o'clock to dinner. Miss Hall was not there, but the family thought nothing of her absence, as she sometimes went to her cousin's. At 3 o'clock the dairymaid left her master's for the pur pose of going to church. She saw the prisoner going towards Midgham-moors. Mrs. Philpotts went out with her little boy about half-past three o'clock for a walk. She had not gone far when she saw the prisoner coming in the direction of her house ; he had a parasol in his hand. She said, " Wherever, George, did you get that parasol ? " The prisoner replied that he found it in Harding's field flying about, and the cows making a great noise. He then asked her if her husband was at home. She said he was, and asked what he wanted with him. The prisoner replied that he had found a woman dead down in the ditch, smothered in mud. The prisoner had given three accounts of finding the parasol; one was that he found it flying about in Harding's field ; another that he found it within 18 yards of the murdered woman, and that it was in Coomb's field, It was impossible, owing to the thickness of the hedge, to see the dead body of the woman unless a person went close up to the hedge. He should call several witnesses who were present with him when the body was removed. The prisoner did not assist in the removal, nor did he go into the lane. Other persons went into the lane and took up the body, and had the melancholy duty of taking it to Midgham farm, and disclosing to the young lady's father the distressing event that had occurred. It must have been shortly before half past 3 that he said he saw the parasol flying about; whereas, the dairymaid who had passed shortly be fore that saw no parasol, and the cows were quiet. When the prisoner was taken into custody two policemen were present ; the prisoner was cautioned in the usual manner, but he said and persist ed in it that he was at home all day until 1 o'clock, and that he had had a nap in the garden. He was out during the whole time ; he denied that the white shirt was his, 'and said that he had on a coloured shirt, and that he had changed it before breakfast. He should prove that he had one white shirt which he changed after din ner. There was another strong circumstance, some spots of blood were seen upon his waist coat, which were evidently fresh. His account was that his nose had bled a fortnight before. One ' of the policemen told him it was important for him to prove where he was on. Sunday morning. The prisoner, after a short consideration, sent for Gos ney, and asked him what time it was when he saw' him in the ditch, Gosney said about a quarter-past 11, and the prisoner said " That's right." His boots had apparently been washed, but there were pieces of mud adhering to them. In the dry ditch three pieces of grass were found as if torn up, they were wet and dirty, and smelt like the mud in the lane. There were some other statements which the pri soner made to the constables. He stated to Rod doway, " I have been in pretty near as bad a mess as this ; do you think it will be a hanging touch ?" The constable said, " I do not know, it makes me feel ill to think of." The prisoner said, "Soit do me. I should be glad to get rid of it. This will be the last time you will have to take me Eup." There was another remarkable fact—A person named Jefferys, who was the sexton of the church, would tell them that they were working together on the Saturday. The prisoner was working in his shirt sleeves, and he had on a white shirt ; that was tole rably clean, and was not at all torn. Jefferys took particular notice of his boots ; tney had nails all round them, and he thought they corresponded with some footmarks which were near the lane. He believed he had now stated the leading facts of the case. It was peculiarly a case of circumstantial evidence. The facts were themselves very slight, but it would be for the jury to say whether these were reasonably consistent with the innocence of the prisoner. If they were, let them by all means acquit him, but if they brought home a conviction to their minds that the prisoner was guilty, he was sure they would not hesitate to do their duty by convicting him. The witnesses were then called in support of the statement of the learned counsel, but as that evi dence was given in extenso in The Sun of the 4th inst., it is not necessary to repeat it. Mr. M. Bere then addressed the jury for the pri soner. He stood in one of the most awful positions possible; he was the unexpected advocate of the prisoner. As the summing up and the verdict might be influenced by the address he might make, he felt he was in a most terrible position. No ex pense on the other side was spared. Counsel of the greatest eminence were engaged—one eminent for his eloquence and the beauty of his language, and the other eminent for his skill and experience—who would watch well every word that was uttered. All the sympathies of every one were properly enlisted against the prisoner, for the facts proved were not of a common kind. The unhappy young lady had left her hitherto pleasant home to attend her reli gious duties, to pray for forgiveness of her sins, and to ask to be protected from any temptation that might assail her, but was brought home in torn and dirty garments, and laid a corpse at her unhappy father's feet. Every feeling was against the pri soner, and his only hope was in the impartiality of the learned judge and the honesty of a British jury. His learned friend had opened the case with great forbearance and in a manner that did him the greatest justice. It had been said that circumstan tial evidence was much safer than even what was called direct evidence ; but they must see whether each link in the chain had been clearly made out. He thought there had been a determination on the part of the witnesses to carry the case against the prisoner as strongly as they possibly could, and this applied particularly to police officers, who looked upon every person taken into custody as a most un mitigated villain. He did not know at what time the theory of the prosecution considered this murder to have taken place. If the jury thought that the time when the cows were first seen to be disturbed was the period when the murder was committed, then the first link in the chain was made out ; hut how did that show theprisoner to have had anything to do with it, for Haskell said the man he saw at that time had on a dark slop, whereas the prisoner wore a light one. But if nearness to the spot was to be taken -as a test, then Haskell was nearer to it than the pri soner. As to the trousers of the prisoner beinwgewet, why could not the prisoner have got t ? em fThe act of any other place than Holmes -lane? the wetness of the trousers wa s not conchlusive of the , e i Ten came the prisoner having been in that lant murdered girl. blood.

IVli ht t over the hedge and lifted up for it was not seen until aer p t e risonerhad gone the blood have got upon ft is p wa h istcoa . t at g i no inner. Another fact was, that the pri soner after d a p u r s e h n e er h h a a d ve soner was the first person who gave the information, and therefore it was said that h m e amdues different i h ff a e v r e e been nt th state ments a s to the manner in Which he first saw the m wb u y rd c e o r , body, but animals had seen it, and, if they saw it, seen it. lie saw th e could and d t the bec parasols be heard th e Cows making a noise s and h e g ot over the hedge to see what it was, and that h e d i d not know wh o it was ; but other witnesses said that the body was so disfigured had that they not for some time discover who it was. It could hard that the unpractised was very answers given by 4 wan to questions put by a practised and well-skilled police officer should be brcught against him, not for an offence which subjected him to banishment or impri sonment, but for a crime which would take from him his life. Was not the prisoner's conduct consistent with his innocence, if not inconsistent with his guilt. Would they convict the prisoner upon the evidence of the smell of mud ? Did they think that when there had been this death-struggle to protect her honour his coat would have remained without a tear ? The pri- soner must have been an unheard-of villain to have sat down in a composed and calm manner to eat his dinner with the family immediately after he had com mitted so dreadful, so diabolical a crime. He thought he had gone through every fact. Did they ever hear of so brutal a murder having been committed without a motive ? He knew not what the theory on the other side was, but he urged that the medical evidence had completely shown that there had been no violation. He did not believe that such a villain existed under God's Heaven, who would commit such a monstrous crime without n motive, and he confidently con tended that no motive had been proved. Why did the prisoner give the information ? Why, if he committed the murder, did he not leave her there? Instead or that, he went and told his brother, and took him with him to the spot. If they could say prisoner was guilty, they would say so, without a motive being shown. He hoped they would give his observations the attention they might deserve. If they acquitted the prisoner, and he should be guilty, his suffering mind would be a greater punishment than his immediate removal from this life. Let them pause before they pronounced the solemn word of guilty. If they did pronounce that awful word, a scene would in a few days be enacted in this city, when the bolt would be drawn, and the prisoner, with all his sins upon his head, would be hurried into eternity. Mr. Justice Keating then summed up. They would look to the evidence and the evidence alone. It was a case of circumstantial evidence, which re quired to be carefully and vigilantly watched. No human eye looked upon the deed except the mur derer and his victim. It was not for the prisoner to show how he committed the murder if he did not, but it was for the prosecution to make it out to their satisfaction. If they allowed the considera tions of the consequences of their verdict which had been urged upon them by the learned counsel who had so ably addressed them to influence that ver dict, then they would fail to discharge their duty. The learned judge then went through all the evi dence. When a prisoner was in custody on a charge it was better that the police should abstain from putting questions, although accompanied by a caution ; but if a prisoner made a statement volun tarily it was the duty of the police to take it. The magistrates' clerk had gone beyond his duty in putting questions to the prisoner. The jury would give their verdict upon the evidence—on the one hand, discarding from their minds any rumours they might have heard before they came into that box, and disregarding any suggestion of conse quences on the other hand. The jury retired for about 25 minutes and then returned a verdict of guilty. His Lordship then addressed the prisoner —After a long, a patient, and fair trial, the jury have found you guilty of murder—murder, under cir cumstances of aggravation which present a case almost without parallel in the history of crime. That unfortunate young lady, upon whom you cast a lustful eye, you attempted to dishonour; but von experienced a degree of resistance which led to her cruel death. Ido not advert to these circum stances for the purpose of aggravating the horror of the position in which you stand, but I advert to them for the purpose of endeavouring to induce you to forego the hope of any mercy here, and to look for it hereafter. Time will be given you— that time which you did not give to your victim, for you hurried her to her great account at a moment's notice. The law will be more merciful to you. You will have some time to think of your past course in this world, and endeavour to pre pare yourself for that which is to come. His lordship then passed upon the prisoner the awful sentence of death, and the prisoner was then re moved from the bar.
