211 E NAVE We have received the following letter from our Malta correspondent, dated Valetta, July 26 :—Her Majesty's ship Queen, 86, Capt. C. F. Hillyar, arrived yesterday, under sail and steam from Bey rout. She brought one warrant officer, Mr. Gibbs , and three seamen for Malta Hospital, and seven seamen, invalided at Beyrout, en route for England. She brings two men under sentence of imprison ment awarded by court martial. One seaman be longing to the Mars, died on the passage from injuries received by a fall from a horse on shore, at Beyrout. The Queen left Beyrout on the 11th inst., at which time the Mars and Firebrand, and the French frigate Mogadore were the only ships of war there. The Icarus, 11, Commander Salmon, V.C., sailed the same day for Jaffa. The Firebrand, 6, Commander Piers, arrived on the 7th inat. from Malta with provisions and stores for the squadron. The court martial alluded to above was held at Beyrout on the 10th inst., to try two seamen be longing to the Mars, upon charges of insubordinate conduct. The Court consisted of Capt. C. F. Hill yar, President ; and Commanders S. B. Piers, Her Majesty's ship Firebrand; R. Dawkins, Her Ma jesty's ship Mars, N. Salmon, V.C., Her Majesty's ship Icarus; and H. B. Woolcombe. Her Majesty's ship Queen. Mr. W. H. Fitzpatrick, officiated as Judge-Advocate. Alfred Jones, able seaman, was first brought to trial for striking the master-at-arms and the officer of the watch, both being in the execution of their duty. He was found guilty, but in consequence of his previous good character was only adjudged to receive 48 lashes, and to be im prisoned for 18 months with hard labour. The Court then proceeded to try William Devereux, also an able seaman, upon the charge of making use of abusive language to and striking the master-at arms. The Court found the prisoner guilty, and sen tenced him to receive 48 lashes, to be imprisoned for two years with hard labour, and to be dismissed Her Majesty's service with disgrace. The Queen is under orders to join the Admiral at Corfu after refitting and filling up with stores and provisions. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel frigate Magicienne, 16, Capt. his Serene Highness the Prince Leiningen, left Malta harbour for Corfu on the 24th inst. This vessel, it is stated, is to convey to Athens the Hon. Mr. Scarlett, recently appointed Minister to the Court of Greece, in succession to the late Sir Thomas Wyse, and to bring back the Hon. Mr. Mr. Elliot, who has been aetingpro tem. Brigadier- General Bates, commanding the 2d Brigade, re turned to Malta on the 23d inst., from Italy in the French packet Vatican. The only ships of war in port are the Hibernia, receiving-ship (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Codrington, C. 8.), the Queen, 86; the Trident, 3; the Foxhound, 4; the Alacrity, 4 ; the Surprise, 4 ; and the Wanderer, 4. The latter two are under orders to proceed to Beyrout to strengthen the squadron on the coast of Syria." Yesterday morning the Lords of the Admiralty arrived at Chatham for the purpose of making their annual inspection of the dockyard, the division of the Royal Marines, and the various naval establish ments at that port. The members of the Board present were the Duke of Somerset, K.G., First Lord ; Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir F. W. Grey, K.C.8., Rear-Admiral C. Eden, C. 8., Capt. the Hon. J. R. Drummond, C. 8., an d M r. S . Whit bread, M.P.; Rear-Admiral Lord Clarence E. Paget, C. 8., M.P., First Secretary to the Admi ralty ; Rear-Admiral R. B. Robinson, Controller of the Navy; Col G. T. Green, director of Admiralty Works ; and Capt. J. Moore, C. 8., Private Secre tary to the First Lord. Their Lordships arrived at the Chatham Railway station, from the Admi ralty, shortly after 10 o'clock, and proceeded at once to the Royal Marine barracks, where the whole of the officers and men of the division, numbering 1,200 of all ranks, were drawn up in the barrack square. Their Lordships having in spected the front and rear of the ranks, the division broke into companies and marched past, but owing to the confined state of the parade-ground no other movements were executed. Their lordships inspected the barrack-rooms, schoolrooms, libraries, &c., and proceeded to the west end of the barracks. There ex tensive works are in progress for the erection of a separate block of buildings or wing, which will afford additional accommodation for some 800 officers and men of this branch of the service. Their lordships were shown over the works by Col. Greene and Mr. Rivers, principal clerk of the works at Chatham. In the course of their inspection they expressed the hope that every effort would be made to complete the new building as speedily as possible, the greatest inconvenience being now experienced from the want of sufficient barrack accommodation for the Royal Marines, several hundred of whom are compelled to be quartered with the troops of the line. The cost of the new building, including the purchase of land, is estimated at £60,000, more than' half of which sum has already been expended. After leaving the Royal Marine barracks the members of the board proceeded to the naval hospital at Melville, where they were received by Deputy - Inspector -General C. R. Kinnear, M.D., and the medical staff of that establishment. Their lordships visited a few of the wards, w hich are made to accommodate several hundred patients, and expressed themselves gene rally satisfied at the excellence of the arrangements for the accommodation of the inmates. Before visiting the dockyard they directed a certain num ber of the non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Marines to be marched to the gun-shed, in order to witness the manner in which they went through the gun drill. The battery is constructed to represent the exact shape of the broadside of a line-of-battle ship, and is fitted with 110-pounder and 40-pounder Armstrongs, and the 68-pounder and 32-pounder ordinary guns. The party of Royal Marine gunners were under the command of Capt D. Blyth, instructor of gunnery, who put the men through an extended course of gun drill. Not withstanding the great size and weight of the guns, they Were moved about, cast loose, pointed, lowe red, and fired with the greatest appa rent "Be , the facility and promptitude with which all the movements were effected eliciting the commendation,o their Lordships. After spending nearly an hour at the gun battery, the Duke of So merset and the other members of the Board pro ceeded to the dockyard, Where they arrived at 12 Just as b ody o f o'clock, j the workmen were leaving the yard for dinner. Aft er transacti ng official busi ness at the o ffice of Ca p t ai n -5 0perint en d en t Fan shawe,,their Lordshi ps in spected the stock of anchors t accumulaed at th and other stor es Anchor-wharf, and also visited the roperY, Where the process of spinning the largest ships' cables by %eau a of p assing along in full operation , p ful steam machinery along beneath the sheds R eindeer 16 where the %Being 250-horse power, and the paddlewheel steam e r , • lamis, 4, same power, are bu il dings t heir Lordsh in i n spected the works which have been some time pro gress for widening and deepening the entranc e to No. 1 do ck. The operation of hanging the gates at the entrance to this dock was completed the pre viouslday. The dock, however, will not be used for me, the reception of any vessels for some time t o co as the whole of its surface has been covered over, and the area thus obtained converted into a workshop for the men employed on the iron ship now building at Chatham. Adjoining the first dock is that in which the large iron frigate Achilles, 51, 1000 horse power, is under construction, and here their Lord ships spent some time in inspecting the progress made since the occasion of their former visit. From the present state of progress, it is calculated that the Achilles will not be completed and afloat before the end of two years from this time. The Pylades, 22, 400-horse power, undergoing extensive repairs in No. 4 dock ; the Menai, 22, the Belvidere, 51, and the Myrmidon, 4, steamers, were also inspected. The Bulwark, 91, the works connected with which have been expended for upwards of a year, is nearly half c omp l eted. She is intended to be the next s hip cut down e i ther for an iron-plated frigate of the Roya l Oak class or for a cupola shield ship on Capt. Coles's principle. The last vessel inspected was , n the Royal iron armour-plated ship, Which is a l re ady far advanced i n her Plating, and will 'oe launched in th e course of a fe w - et ed- Their go into No. 3 dock to b e . cornisl eees ' when she will inspecting lord ships were some time beth the exterior and interior of this vessel. They also inspected the yal new building just erected, adjoining the Ro for the reception of the ma c hi ner y f or ' preparing ri eliP' ngthe plates which will encase that ship, afterwards retraced their steps, visiting the mill wright's shop, smithery, metal mills, and other e stablishments. The additional bui , dings erecting adjoining the millwright's shop wer also inspected. Their lordships then visited the ea tern end of the dockyard, and inspected the piece of land which has been taken possession of by the Government for the enlargement of Chatham dockyard by the formation of numerous additional docks, basins, and factories. The excavations, and all the heavy portion of the undertaking, will be performed by upwards of 1,000 convicts, several hundred of whom have been em ployed for more than a year past in manufacturing the bricks which will be used in the work. The pro posed extension of the dockyard is a work of such magnitude that it is calculated it will be, at least, six years in progress. After completing their in spection of this portion of the dockyard, the mem bers of the Board embarked in the Admiralty steam yacht Osborne, and steamed down the harbour to inspect the two forts which are being erected at Folly Point and Bishop's-marsh, for the better pro tection of the entrance to Chatham harbour. Their Lordships remained on board the Osborne last night, and this morning will complete their inspec tion of the naval establishment at Chatham, after which they will proceed to Sheerness. Yesterday the foliowing draughts were despatched from Colchester Camp to join the service companies of their regiments in India :-34 rank and file, 44th Regiment, accompanied by Lieut. C. Maguire, En sign Stanley, and Ensign R. R. O'Grady; 1 drum mer and 33 rank and file, 56th Foot, under Capt. Clutterbuck ; 1 officer, 2 drummers, and 30 rank and file, 66th Regiment. This completes the draught from Colchester Camp, and gives a total of 15 offi cers, 4 sergeants, 7 drummers, and 258 rank and file who have embarked for India during the month of July. One hundred and fifty men of the depot Royal Artillery yesterday went down to Gravesend from Woolwich, on board the Monkey steamtug, to em bark on board the troopship Dartmouth, for India. The hired transport, the Bard of Avon, yester day commenced shipping war stores from Woolwich Arsenal for Halifax, Nova Scotia. The following appointments have been made in the Royal Naval Reserve :—To be Honorary Lieut. —Charles Hyne. To be Sub - Lieuts.—Henry Her bert Skinner and Philip Kerslake Hancock. OPERATIONS AGAINST THE TAEPINGS. The following extract from a private letter gives some idea of the nature of the warfare in China : SHANGHAI, MAY 5. "I was obliged to miss last mail, because we were away on an expedition to Cardeen. The guns started last Saturday week in boats up the Soo-chow Creek. I went on Sunday week in boats, with 26 men ; the rest of the men came up on Monday. The troops marched up on Friday. We took up our quarters at Naysian (I spell it as pronounced), about 17 miles from Shanghai. About 400 yards outside the town were stockades and a fortified joss-house, with about 4,000 rebels. On Saturday the troops, with four small field-pieces, attacked the place, and after they had fired all their ammunition the General, who wished to avoid getting men killed, sounded the re treat, so they returned to their quarters without taking the stockades, one officer and one man being badly wounded. By Monday the Naval Brigade and our guns had arrived, so we attacked them again on Tuesday. I went with the pontoon bridges, with 26 men, an Engineer officer, and a few Sappers. We had to advance in front of the force to the left, and as soon as the rebels saw us advance they sent a round shot at us, which nearly took off the Engi neer officer's legs, striking the ground close to his feet. The guns then opened fire, and in about a quarter of an hour the place was ours. We did not go back to our quarters, but advanced straight on to Cardeen, which is about six miles from the stockades. Cardeen is a very large walled town—they say, seven miles round the walls—with a broad deep ditch. It looked a formidable place. We encamped in a large straggling village, nearly in ruins, scarcely 400 yards outside the town, the re bels sending several shots into the village while we were there. We did not do anything the rest of the day, nor the next either, except fit scaling ladders, as the French were not ready. On Wed nesday evening the orders came out from the General—one company from each regiment (31st, 67th, 99th, sth Native Infantry, 22d Native Infan try, and Punjab), and one company of the Naval Brigade, to form the storming party ; the 2d com pany was chosen. Every one had to be up by 2 o'clock in the morning to place the guns in position; so at 2 o'clock we were all out, and the men worked hard till half-past 4, getting the guns in position. At 5 a.m. all the guns opened fire. Altogether, French, naval, and artillery, there were 32 guns; so you can fancy how astonished the rebels must have been to find so many guns not 10 yards off, particularly after we had waited a day and a half, and they began to think we were frightened at them. However, they returned a very smart fire. The 2d company of the Naval Brigade, being the storming party, were ordered to lie down behind some slightly raised ground, where there were some bushes and a small tree. I should think about 30 shots struck the tree behind which we were lying. One of the blue jackets was shot through both his thighs, and while the doctor was attending to him a bullet went through his right arm. I should think it was over an hour before we silenced their fire. Then a rocket was fired as a signal for the boats to advance and form a bridge; then a second rocket, which was for the stormers. We advanced with the ladders and scaled the walls (over 40ft. high) ; but there was no one to resist us, the rebels being in full retreat for the north and south gates, where the 67th and Pun jabees met them. There were about 500 rebels killed, and 2,000 prisoners taken. They had a force of 8,000 men, and we had—Fngliah, Indian, and French troops-5,000. Our company had none killed, and only about ten or twelve wounded. "We started to come down from Cardeen on Friday afternoon, and did not arrive until Sunday morning, because we had to come down Soo-chow Creek, with the flotilla and nine prize war junks. Altogether, I think there will be about or over 100,000 dollars prize money, but it is not at all cer tain whether the officers will get any, or whether it will all be given to the men. I shall keep my letters open, as the mail does not go for about ten days more; but, as we are going on an expedition to Tsing-poo tomorrow, we may not be back in time. " NAVAL BRIGADE, MAY 17. "We left Shanghai last Thursday, and arrived 1 off the creek which we were to go up the same even ing. Half the naval force were left at the mouth of the creek until ordered to proceed up, but on Saturday orders came to proceed up with all reePatch. The whole force arrived on Sunday rooming, and in the evening the naval force ad ven,,,, . stron g hi t a h wilie l i u i i , n boats within 400 yards of Tsing-poo, strongly fortified town, having a a moat a. : 1 7a1l and a good man y guns , w ith rebels he ard round.

I had just' finished reading yours of March 19, when a round shot came whizzing among us. I made sure it had struck some of the men, it sounded so very close ; but luckily it did not. Shortly after that a round shot struck one of our boats. On Tuesday we left Tsing-poo and went down to Sonn-kong, Colonel Ward's place, where we heard the news of the taking of Ningpo by the corvette Encounter, despatch boat Ringdove, and gunboats Kestrel and Hardy, but it cost us pretty dear. Lieut. Cornwall, first lieutenant of the Encounter, and three men were shot dead under the walls of Ningpo,and 12 men and one officer wounded; the lieutenant of the French gunboat was mortally wounded. Ido not know how many French were killed. IN e may not back to the ship before a fort night or three weeks, as there are two or three more places to take.

Last Tuesday a field piece,four boats fullof ammunition,and two with commissariat stores went up Soo-chow Creek to try to get into Cardeen. They had 17 blue-jackets and 15 Punjabees. When about half-way, the rebels, about 4,000 strong, advanced suddenly on them. They made a slight resistance, having three killed and two or three wounded, and were then obliged to retreat, leaving the boats and field-piece to the rebels ; the field-piece they tried to spike, but could nit. We returned to Shanghai yesterday, and start with the whole force at four to-morrow morn ing for Cardeen. " JUNE 3. " We returned from our last expedition on Wed nusday, relieving Cardeen, and withdrawing the garrison. The field-piece has not yet been recap tured." IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING. MURDER OF MR. FyZGERALD.-TRIAL OF IVAL§ff. This important trial commenced yesterday morn ing at the Limerick Assizes. It excited immense interest in the town, snd the court was crowded. Mr. Justice Keogh took his seat on the bench at 10 o'clock. _ - J - arnes --- Walsh was then ordered to stand forward, and was indicted that he did, on the 16th Mav, 1862, at Garrymore, in the county of Limerick, feloniously and wilfully, and of malice aforethought, kill and murder Francis Fitzgerald. The prisoner pleaded not guilty_ He appears to be an athletic young man, of about 23 years of age, with heavy brows, and a forbidding appearance ge nerally. He surveyed the court with a cool and almost defiant air, although at first he appeared to feel the position in which he was placed. Denis Dillane was then put forward, and charged in the terms of the indictment—" That Thomas Beckham having on the 16th May, 1862, feloniously, wilfully, and of malice aforethought, killed and mur dered Francis Fitzgerald; that he before the murder on the 15th of May, did incite, move, and procure him to commit said murder." Another count charged him with having incited Thomas Beckham and James Walsh to murder Mr. Fitzgerald. The prisoner Dillane is an elderly man, grey haired, and slightly bald. He had a defiant and careless air when he appeared in court. He pleaded not guilty, and said he did not know the nature of the indictment brought against him, and that, hav ing no funds, he had no counsel or attorney, and vas unable to employ either. Judge Keogh directed the Attorney-General to assign an attorney and counsel for the defence of the prisoner. The Prisoner, in reply to his Lordship, requested that Mr. Doyle should be assigned as his attorney. In reply to his Lordship, Mr. Doyle said he would undertake the defence. The Attorney-General then said—Gentlemen of the jury, in this case you have heard that the pri soner, James Walsh, is charged with the murder of Francis Fitzgerald. I need not tell you that the charge of murder is always the most serious that can be presented to a jury against a human being. But lam sure I need not tell you that, being so, it is always entitled to the gravest and most anxious consideration from jurors. It is not the less in this case entitled to your consideration, because the crime charged against the prisoner here, as the participator, is in its circumstances of a fero city almost unexampled. It would be affectation in me to suppose that the facts of this case, in their general scope, are not substantially known to you. They have been impressed on you through the trial which recently in this county attracted the peculiar interest of the community. I refer to them now only to tell you that you are not to come to any conclusion by anything that occurred in that trial; that you are not to be influenced in judging the pri soner at the bar by anything you have heard or read, or anything that has been said to you by any human being. You are bound to find your verdict upon the evidence, and the evidence alone—upon the sworn testimony of such faithworthy witnesses as may be produced to you on the trial in this court. LThe Attorney-General then stated the facts of the murder, which are already before the public.] The question for von will be this, and this only—Was the prisoner at the bar, James Walsh, one of the two men who upon that occasion encountered Mr. and Mrs Fitzgerald ? She will be produced to you. She is a lady of great intelligence and power of ob servation, and she had ample opportunity of observ ing the features of both the murderers. She saw them clearly in the open day. There was no con cealment. They had their ordinary dress on. Their features were not covered. One man had an ordi nary hat on ; the other wore a jerry or " Jim Crow" hat. Mrs. Fitzgerald will depose with out hesitation or doubt that one of these men was Thomas Beckham, and that the other was James Walsh, the prisoner at the bar. I have further to tell you this, and I believe I shall be able to show you, that some days before the occurrence of the atrocity I have described the pri soner and Thomas Beckham were:seen together upon a car which runs to Kilmallock; and it will be seen also that upon the day which preceded the murder the prisoner and Beckham were seen in the imme diate neighbourhood of Mr. Fitzgerald's house, going towards that house. Not only will we be able to prove this to you, but that upon the very day of the murder, and the very hour which pre - ceded the hour of the murder, the prisoner was at Kilmallock Hill, in the immediate neighbourhood of the place in which the dreadful deed was perpe trated, between the hours of two and three o'clock. A witness will tell you when it was and where it was—that between these hours, near the immediate neighbourhood of the place in which that as sassination was perpetrated, the prisoner at the bar was observed. Gentlemen, it is quite true that no human being saw the prisoner fire the shot. Since Mr. Fitzgerald was murdered this court-house was occupied, as it is now occupied, by learned judges on the bench, by jurors, and by counsel. The prisoner was not then tried, because he was not amenable. Of the two men who were present when Mr. Fitzgerald fell one was tried then, the other was away. What be came of one of the men it is not necessary for me to tell you ; but from the 18th of May, the day of the murder, until, I think, the 23d of June, the other was not arrested. He was looked for, earnestly and energetically, by the officers of justice. They did all they could to discover him, but they did not succeed. The boundaries of the county and the various ports were closed against him, and he surrendered on the 24th of June, at Elton. He had now stated the facts of the case against the prisoner, and he concluded by commending the case to the earnest consideration of the jury, confident that they would find an honest and conscientious verdict. Mrs. Caroline Fitzgerald was then sworn, and examined by the Solicitor-General. She looked pale and careworn, and was dressed in deep mourning. Her appearance in the court seemed to excite uni versal sympathy. She deposed—l resided at a cottage at Kilmallock, in May last. I had been residing there nine months with my late husband, Mr. Francis Fitzgerald. I recollect leav ing the cottage on the 16th of May last. My poor husband was with me on that occasion. We left the cottage together, at about three o'clock in the day. We proceeded to Kelly's farm, which be longed to my late husband. We rested there some time, I cannot exactly say how long. We left the farm together. We returned home through the field, and then came out upon the high road. We walked some distance homewards—about half way —on that road ; I saw two men there ; they were before us. I did not notice them until one stopped us. One of them said, " Stand, you are my man." I saw the man who used that expression. I saw the other man. He walked on behind me until he came to the other side of me, and stood there. The first man said, " I want your money." He pulled out a pistol and fired. There was another shot fired immediately. My eyes were fixed on the man that fired first, and he did not fire the second shot. I did not see the person who fired the second shot in the act of firing. I looked about me every way, and there was no one but the two on the road. Beckham fired the first shot at my husband. The Solicitor General—Look at the prisoner, and say if he is the man. Witness--I am sure that is the man who was with Beckham on that day. The second shot took effect on that when I was com i ng t o him he was falling, and my husband. The shot was fired so quick l y , he said, "I am shot by a villain." The prisoner ran to th e o th er man , an d they ran straight over the ditch, and I ran screaming down the road. Prisoner i s t h e same man w ho came up the road with Beckham. There was none other there. Neither of t h em was di sgu i se d in any way. I had an oppo r t un i ty o f o b serv i ng him, for I turned to say I could give evidence whether my husband had money. P r i soner h a d a j e rry hat on. Beckham wore a tall h a t. I saw th e p r isoners running down straight and jumping a little ditch. My husband told me to call Mrs. Kelly. call Mrs. Kelly, and I ran to the house, and, hav ingHe told me twice to got assi s t ance, I returne d back to my husband. He was then raised on the ditch by persons there. He was brought home, and only survived two or three h ours. I remem ber meeting Dr. O'Con nell there. I n ex t saw th e ma n who wore the jerry hat in the gaol with six or seven others. Ido not know what day. I k new hi m amongst them at once, and I identified him as the one who was with Beck ham on that day. This occurred in the county of Limerick, Cross-examined by Mr. Coffey—Beckham accosted me first. I had no conversation with the first per son, except to say we would give the money. I did not hear the sound of his voice at all. The moment the shot was fired, this man ran to the other, and they fled almost instantaneously. I was quite cool at the time, and my eyes were fixed upon Beckham. I waited by, and I did not think the pistol touched my husband at all. He was partly coming down when I went to him. I was not standing close to him. He had walked away to speak to Beckham I rushed to my husband the moment I saw him fall. He was not bleeding. He was coming down quietly. I ran when he told me. When my husband spoke to me, the men were in rapid flight. I do not think any person heard my screams; but I was scream in. I had nev er seen e i t h er o f t h e me n before, to m y g knowledge. M y f at h er accom panied me to the gaol, and also my sister. My father advised me that I was to go to the gaol to identify:the prisoner. There were a number of magistrates there. Mr. Barron and Mr. O'Donnell were there. I was told that the man charged was to be brought with others for identification. I cannot say who told me. Walsh was not dressed in the same clothes as the day on which he did the deed. He was better dressed. He wore all dark clothes on that day. That is the extent of my recollection. The smaller man (Beck ham) fired the first shot. I looked at the pri soner fixedly at once, and knew him. I did not say it at once. I recollect saying, " I believe that to be the man." Ido not know whether anybody was placed in the room then. I turned round and said that to all there. 1 did not hear any reply- I did not mind anything. Ido not know whether any reply was given. I did not see the second shot fired. I was looking at Beckham taking out the pistol. I saw it pointed at my hus band. I saw no second pistol. I do not think I did. Re-examined by the Solicitor-General—l had no idea my husband was injured until he cried out, "I am shot!" I had a full opportunity of observing Beckham. I looked at this man (prisoner) and saw him, and I looked at him running away. From that opportunity of seeing him, I am sure th e p r i soner is the man 'I saw there. I received no hint or assist ance from anyone on the day in the gaol before I identified him. Bridget Shannon was sworn and examined by Mr. Sergeant Sullivan. She deposed—Remembers the day of Mr. Fitzgerald's murder. I was living at Kilmallock. I was in my father's house in the middle of the day. I saw passing that day Walsh, the prisoner at the bar. It was at about two or three o'clock on that day. I could not say exactly. I saw him before, and know him by appearance, but never spoke to him. He wore a " Jim Crow " hat that day, or jerry hat. I know where the late Mr. Fitzgerald lived. It is not far from there to Kilmallock, and it would take a very short time to go from one place to the other. I did not see Walsh again until I saw him in the gaol, and I identified him there. To a Juror—He was by himself on the day of the murder, and I said, " There's Walsh from Ballyca hill." Cross.examined by Mr. Keogh—l said so to the people about me. To the Court—l saw Walsh passing the door. To Mr. Keogh—When I heard Mr. Fitzgerald was dead, I made the information. I was sure it was Walsh. (Information was read, in which witness said she saw a man who she thought was named Walsh.) To a Juror—l was surprised to see prisoner pass. To another Juror—lt is only ourselves that pass by our way. It was not a public way. To his Lordship—He had been remarked to me in Kilfinan. David Gorman sworn, and examined by Mr. De Moleyns, Q.C.—I remember the day of the murder. The day before that I was working in a quarry at Kilmallock. I went home to dinner, and ,went back agai n . Th ere was a fi e ld name d: Abbeyfield on the way back. I knew Thomas Beckham before that day. I saw him on my way back from dinner. He was at the gate of the field. I knew Walsh by sight before that day, and saw him that day. He was within twenty yards of Beckham that day at that place. Primer is the man I saw there. I went on my way then, but I looked back and saw them together.. I did not see Walsh doing any thing. They went away in the direction of Mr. Fitzgerald's cottage. Abbeyfield is contiguous to the cottage. I next saw Walsh three or four weeks ago in gaol. Cross-examined by Mr. Coffey—Did not think it remarkable to see men together. I told that I saw them together on the evening of the murder, I think. Daniel Dwyer sworn, and examined by the At torney-General—l am a car driver. I remember the day of the murder. I know Walsh's appear ance, and also Beckham's. I saw them together before the murder. I think about nine days. They were at the Car Office at the Bruff Hotel. They were on the car, on the same side, with a woman between them. (Evidence objected to, and not pressed by the Attorney-General, as to what took place at the time.) Dr. Morgan David O'Connell was sworn and examined, and deposed to the nature of the wounds which the deceased had received. Dr. O'Connell, examined by Mr. Sergeant Sul livan—l am a magistrate of the county Limerick. Knew the late Mr. Fitzgerald. Saw him in a dying state on the day of the murder. He made a state ment to me. He knew then that he was past all hope. His statement was taken down (produced). It was taken by the clerk of petty sessions as nearly as possible in his words. It was read to him slowly by me. He put his mark to it. I held his hand (statement read). The prisoner was not brought before me. Saw him in gaol, when charged with being one of two men who murdered Mr. Fitz gerald. Mrs. Fitzgerald was there, and was examined in his presence that day. Prisoner was duly cau tioned before he was questioned. Mr. Coffey objected to the form of caution given. An argument followed, and the objection was overruled. Witness's evidence was afterwards or dered not to be taken on certain points, on account of informality. Oliver Milling, Esq., sub- inspector of constabu lary, examined by Mr. De Moleyns, deposed—l searched in Knocklong and Glengarra for Walsh on the night of the murder. Search was unceasing for him until the time of his surrender. Cross-examined by Mr. Keogh—Walsh had, as far as I know, no fixed residence. Sub-constable J. Carty, examined by the Solicitor- General—Deposed that on the 23d June the prisoner passed him. Witness hailed him, and he turned and said he was Walsn, and that he would give himself up to Sergt. Deegan . He went into th e b arrac k s and I kept him there. I cautioned him. [Form of caution objected to, and the Solicitor- General did not press the evidence as to what the prisoner said.] Constable M. Deegan sworn, and examined by Mr. Sergeant Sullivan—Deposed to having searched the prisoner's house, but was unable to find him. This closed the case for the Crown, and after a short adjournment 7; Mr. Coffey proceeded to state the case for the prisoner. The Solicitor-General having replied, Judge Keogh charged the jury at considerable length, and, after an absence of l ess th an 8 minutes, the jury returned into court with a verdict of guilty. Sentence deferred. DUBLIN, Thursday Afternoon. Walsh has been sentenced to be hanged on the Ist of '6eptember. H . e addressed the judge, and said he had been led into the transaction. The trials of Dillane for inciting to the murder, and Cooke for harbouring Walsh, are postponed till next assizes. Kenehan was found guilty of sending a threa tening letter to Lord Ashdown's steward, and sen tenced to 6 years' penal servitude. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE HOME CIRCUIT. — MAIDSTONE, July 31. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell and a Special Jury.) DELEVANTE V. THE LONDON CHATHAM AND DOVER RAIL WAY COMPANY. This was an action to recover damages for inju ries that were alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiffs from the negligence of the servants of the defendants who denied their pleas that they were guilty of any negligence, and also alleged that the damage, if any had been sustained by the plaintiff, arose from his own want of care and caution. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Kaye ;;e - Counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Round were for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action, the Rev. Mr. Dele vante, is a clergyman of the Church of England, and the curate of St. Saviour's, Chelsea, and it ap peared that, having occasion to go to Paris on the 10th of May, he took a first-class return ticket on that day, at the Victoria Station, and proceeded to his destination ; and having transacted his busi ness he started to return home, and arrived at Calais about half-past one o'clock on the morn ing of the 12th, and at once proceed e d on b oard the mail steamer Queen, belonging to the defen dants, which was about to start, proceeded to Dover. To get to the vessel he had to pass along a gangway from the quay, and when he was on board, according to his evidence, he proceeded to the chief cabin, but found that every seat was occupied, and he returned on deck, intend ing to pass the night there, and while looking for a seat, it was alleged, that he walked into the sea through the opening across which the temporary gangway had been placed to enable passengers to get on board the vessel. The plaintiff, it appeared, struck out, as he was able to swim, and succeeded in catching hold of the paddle box, and on an alarm being given, he was assisted on board, and he now claimed damages from the defendants for the injury done to his clothes and to a watch he bad in his pocket, and also for the shock he had sustained by being thrown suddenly into the sea under the circumstances above narrated. It was con tended, on the part of the plaintiff, that the acci dent had arisen from the negligence of the defen dants in removing the gangway , and in not having lights to show the opening. The evidence, how ever, th a t was adduced on the par t o f the company ' put an entirely different aspect upon the affair, and from the testimony of numerous witnesses it ap peared that at the time in question, so far from the gangway having been removed, passengers were actually still coming on board, and th a t t wo men were standin g with lights close to the spot, and it was alleged that the plaintiff had actually pushed past one of these men to get to the place where he fell, and that the accident was entirely resulting from his own imprudence and want of caution. It Was also stated that when the alarm was given, and the plaintiff was discovered clinging to the paddle box, the first thing he said was to make an inquiry about his hat and umbrella, and ho was told that it would be time to think about these things when he was safe himself; and it was alleged that, after he had been assisted into the vessel he made use of ex pressions that it was through his own fault that the accident occured. Mr. Baron Bramwell having summed up, The jury almost immediately returned a verdict for the defendants. MALFORD V. CHILD. This was also a special jury cause. The action was brought to recove r damages for a nuisance occasioned by an extensive brick manu factory belonging to the defendant at Bromley. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Denman, Q.C, and Mr. Prentice, were for the plaintiff; Mr. Lush, Q.C., Mr. J. Browne, and Mr. Matthew were for the defendant. _ ----- Theplaintiff in this action is a gentleman, resid ing at Bromley, where he has recently built a large mansion, and alleged that the defendant, by the manner in which he carried on his manufacture of bricks in the neighbourhood, and the smells and other annoyances occasioned thereby, was guilty of a nuisance. The defence that appeared to be set up was that the place in question had always been used as a brick-field, and that the plaintiff was per fectly well aware of that fact before he came to the neighbourhood. The jury, after a long uninteresting inquiry, re turned a verdict for the plaintiff. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and Special Juries,) MENNEL V. THE MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF ROCHESTER. This was an action by the plaintiff, who is a shipowner at Whitby, to recover damages from the defendants for having, as was alleged, in their cha racter of conservators of the River Medway ; used defective and improper moorings, whereby one of his vessels received injury. The defendants denied by their pleas that they had been guilty of negli gence, and also alleged that the damage had been occasioned by the anchor belonging to the vessel. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. F. J. Smith, and Mr. Biron were for the plaintiff; Mr. Denman, Q.C., Mr. Prentice, and Mr. Lumley Smith were for the de fendants. This cause lasted for several hours, but the facts were very simple. In August last the corporation of Rochester had made arrangements that certain newly-patented moorings should be placed in the Medway at Rochester, and the work was certified as being completed on the 15th of October. On the 28th of October a vessel called the Tanner was fastened to the buoy attached to these moorings, and as the tide fell it was alleged that she grounded upon a portion of them that was two feet six above the surface instead of being completely under ground, and a hole was made in her, and she sank and received considerable damage. With regard to the plea of the defendants, that the injury had been caused by the vessel's own anchor, several witnesses swore that at the time the accident hap pened the anchor was hanging over the bows, so that this could not have been the case. Mr. Denman made a very able address to the jury on behalf of the defendants, contending that they had done all that could reasonably be expected of persons in their position, and that no negligence had been established against them. He called no witnesses. Mr. Baron Martin. in summing up said, that the only question for the jury was whether it had been made out by the plaintiff that the defendants had not used proper care and caution with regard to the moor ing apparatus that had been placed in the river that was under their control. He said that the defen dants were not insurers, and that they did not undertake to prevent accidents. All that the law required was that they should use reason able care and caution with reference to proceedings of this description, and unless it was made out by the plaintiff that they had not done so he could not recover. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, the damages to be the sub ject of reference, but the defendants had leave to move the Court upon some points of law. PRALL V. HAYWARD. This was an action of slander. Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Prentice were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Bovill Q.C., and Mr. F. J. Smith for the defendant. _ _ The parties to this action were professional men, residing at Rochester, and both hold an official po sition in that city, the plaintiff being clerk to the magistrates, a situation which he has held a great many years, the defendant being clerk of the peace. The slander complained of consisted of an allegation that the plaintiff had neglected his duty in refer ence to his not having supplied the copy of the de positions against a prisoner who had been commit ted for trial in sufficient time to enable him to pre pare his defence. When the case had been partly gone into, _ _ Mr. Baron Martin said he thought the plaintiff was quite justified in taking steps to vindicate his character, and that this had been sufficiently accom plished, and it was not necessary to proceed further with the inquiry. Mr. Lush said the plaintiff had no other object than to vindicate his character, and after the inti mation given by his lordship he was perfectly satis fied. It was then arranged that a juror should be with drawn, his lordship observing that both parties had acted most properly in the matter. These assizes were brought to a conclusion about six o'clock. COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday, at a meeting of the aldermen of the City of London, held at Guildhall, Ald. Copeland, the senior member of the Court, acting as chairman, A report was presented from the gaol committee, by Alderman Challis, their chairman, recommend ing the appintmeut of Mr. Benjamin Constable as keeper of the Debtors' Prison, in Whitecross-street, for one year, at a salary of £l5O ; and the retire ment of Mr. William Watts, of the same prison, upon a pension of £lOO a year. Sheriffs Cockerell and Twentyman reported that 138 prisoners are now in the gaol of Newgate ; 372 in the City Prison at Halloway ; and 90 in the Debtors' Prison in Whitecross-street. Of the whole number of prisoners in the three gaols, only 16 were in the infirmaries, and the surgeons in each case certified to the fit condition of the prison: Mr. Hugh Jones, one of the sheriffs elect of Lon don and Middlesex, attended the court, and entered into the usual bond for the due performance of the office, as Alderman James Lawrence, his colleague in the office, had done at a previous meeting. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a meeting of the Common Council was held at Guildhall, Alderman Copeland, M.P., pre siding. On taking the chair he said he had the plea sure to receive a communication from the Lady Mayoress, stating that the health of the Lord Mayor had very much improved. The meeting was for some time engaged in considering certain proposals for repairing, altering, and improving the Guildhall and the adjacent law courts on an extensive scale and at an estimated cost of upwards of £27,000 in the whole. It had been referred to the City lands com mittee to consider the propriety of removing the pre sent roof from the Guildhall, and replacing it by an open roof, in accordance with the architecture of the building, and yesterday Mr. Kelday, the chair man of the committee, presented a report from them upon the subject. They stated that Mr. Bunning, the City architect, had given it as his opinion that it would be desirable to remove the present roof and ceiling in Guildhall, which would necessarily in volve the substitution of Gothic windows in lieu of the 16 Roman windows on the north and south sides of the hall ; and he estimated the cost of the new roof, with the 16 windows, in Portland stone, at about £lB,OOO. He also recommended the repairing of the hall and porch, together with the cleansing and repairing the eastern and western windows of the Gothic tracery throughout, the cost of which he estimated at the sum of £2,500_ The stone front of the hall, being in a defective and crippled state, would require a considerable sum to repair it; but not being in character with the hall itself he had prepared a design for rebuilding the front, using the old stone as far as practicable, at a cost of about 11,500. The expense of adapting cer tain parts of the rooms connected with the hall, for the purpose of the library, and which he conceived to be necessary, would be about £2,3000 ; while the cleansing, repairing, and painting the various law courts, offices, and other parts of the building would cost £2,400. The subject gave rise to a short discussion, which resulted in the court, on the motion of Mr. KELDAY, sanctioning the various works suggested by the architect, with the exception of the proposal for paving the hall and porch, which was referred back to the committee for further consideration; and it was left to the coal, corn, and finance committee to provide the funds for defraying the proposed ex penditure. A report of the police committee was brought up by Deputy Lott, their chairman, on the reference to them to consider the propriety of making applica tion to Parliament to confer additional powers on the magistrates for regulating the traffic within the city of London. The matter led to a brief discussion, and was then adjourned for further consideration. On the motion of Mr. LAWLEY, in the absence from indisposition of Mr. John Young, who had given notice of it, the court, desiring to express its deep sympathy with the distress in the cotton manufacturing districts, unanimously voted a sum of £l,OOO towards its relief. Mr. N. R. Phillips and Mr. Richardson spoke in favour of the motion. Mr. DE JERSEY suggested that it be paid in in stalments of £2OO a month, but the court preferred to leave the disposal of the money to the unfettered discretion of the Lord Mayor's committee, in whom they had complete confidence. Mr. ALDERMAN HALE presented a petition from the East London Weavers' Aid Association for assisting Emigration to the Colonies for a grant of money. It was referred for consideration to the coal, corn, and finance committee. After transacting other business of little public nterest the court adjourned. Great alarm was occasioned the day before yes- terday at Antwerp from the whole of the soldiers occupying the guard-house in tha Marche-aux-Grains, including the sergeant, who commanded them, being in a state of drunk enness, and acting in a most outrageous manner towards 40Passers-by.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-July 31. MANSION HOUSE.—John Sturdy who had been a clerk in the service of Messrs. Smith, Barry, and Co., merchants, in Leadenhall-street, underwent a final examination before Alderman Humphery, on a charge of stealing £7O which they had entrusted to him to pay into the Union Bank of London in September last. He was also accused of stealing letters containing bills of ex change and orders for the payment of money ad dressed to Messrs. Richardson and Co., East India agents in Cornhill, and several revolving pistols, and a musical box, all of considerable value. The material circumstances have been already reported. The prisoner, who made no defence, was com mitted to Newgate for trial. GUILDHALL.—David Braun and Benjamin Kortoske, lately carrying on business as hat and cap manufacturers and general merchants in London-wall, were charged before Mr. Alderman Hale with conspiring together and with others not in custody to obtain goods on credit to the amount of about £35,000, with intent to cheat and defraud their creditors. _ Mr. Metcalfe, instructed by M. A. Turner, of the firm of Sole and Turner, conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Poland, instructed by Mr. Sydney, the defence. This case has been remanded from time to time, and a few of the facts elicited have appeared, but a brief outline of the evidence already taken will con vey a better idea of the importance of the case than a lengthy report of the very voluminous proceed ings as far as they have gone. It appeared that the defendants, who are bankrupts, filed their petition for a piivate arrangement under the Bankruptcy Act on the 10th Sept. last, and they were adjudi cated bankrupts under the new bankruptcy law on the 13th January of the present year. They passed their last examination on the 19th May last, and the certificate meeting, which was fixed first for the 27th of last June, was further adjourned until the 14th Nov. next. The bankrupts were examined at considerable length before the commissioner in bankruptcy on several occasions and the notes of those examinations were produced before the ma gistrate in support of the present charge. It ap peared from these examinations that two brothers of Kortoske established themselves inCanada about nine years ago, and acted as agents for Breun and Kortoske, and subsequently establi s h e d a fi rm i n London of the name of Fox and Co., who in turn acted as the agents of Kortoskeßrothers, of Canada. Goods bought by Fox and Co., and by Braun and Kortoske, were shipped to Kortoske Brothers, from time to time, until the year's account, which in 1852 was only £5OO, amounted to the enormous sum of £30,000, in 1860 and 1861. The shipments during the two months immediately preceding their suspension amounted to £lB,OOO, which, with an unliquidated balance of about £20,000, for which they had advanced the money and received no inte rest whatever, made the total of their claim_ o. In Kortoske Brothers something near £3B.v,°aus only 1852 their claim on Kortoske Brothers :vas year £5OO, and it had gone on increasing fa e r so large since. They never asked for security heard of the a balance, and when they eventuallytoske went over failure of Kortoske Brothers, te r of the property, to Canada to see what had become and ascertained that there little or no effects. mode of doing business was, One peculiarity in the m od oods, and shipped them that Fox and Co, bought g h remitted the bills to to Kortoske Brothers, w.-° by whom they were dis- Braun and Kortoske, counted, and the proc eeds, or part th ereo f , h an d ed over to Fox an d separate C o .

Goods ought for Kortoske Brothe rs were c harged to Braun a n d Kortoske, because peopl® 1.. would not trust th e Canadian fi rm. The bills remitted were drawn on Fox and Co. by gor toske Brothers, and endorsed by Braun and Kor toske, who discounted them. They also diSeOlinted bills for Calisher, Kortoske's brother- ; Wil helms, of the Poultry, and others. They paid themselves before handing over any part of the proceeds of the bills to Fox and Co. They had also shipped goods for Wilhelms, and drawn bills on him for part of the money, and he had yet to render an account of the sales. Wilhelms never advanced money on goods, but he had lent money and afterwards received goods in repayment. They had consigned goods to Calisher in August, 1861, the month prior to the suspension, to the amount of £1,379, and re ceived goods in exchange for £1,366, consisting of precious stones, which were afterwards disposed of by Bernard Kortoske in Canada. Some of those precious stones were afterwards given up by Calisher and some by the bankrupts. In 1859 Fox disap peared from the scene, but the name was kept up, end the bankrupt Kortoske made use of Fox and Co.'s banking account for his own purposes. Throughout the whole z)f the transaction deposed to by Kortoske it did not appear that Braun was in any way an ,active agent, the practical or manufac turing part of the business being carried on•by Braun while the mercantile department was conducted ex clusively by Kortoske. The accountant who inves tigated the affairs of Kortoske Bros. in Canada, said the estate would not pay a shilling in the pound, and he added that there were no accounts in the books of their transactions with Braun and Kor toske for the last twelve months. From the evidence of Mr. Wilcock, a manfactnrer, of Windhill, near Leeds, it appeared that Kortoske bought of him a quantity of goods called Spanish stripes in August last ; which he said he wanted for a customer in the East India trade for shipment. The amount of the invoice was £403, the bill for which had never been paid. He would not have sold the goods had he known they were about to be deposited. The evidence of Mr. Collings, a calenderer and packer, of Manchester, proved that as the agent of Braun and Kortoske he had bought goods to the amount of £448 Bz. 10d., seven bales of which were sent to Niblett and Allen, packers in London, and some were sent to the bankrupts. Those goods were sent in August last, and he received two bills for £3Ol 18s. 2d. and £142 10s. Bd., which had not since been paid. He was answerable for the goods, and had been scheduled by the bank rupts for the amount. The Telegraph Clerk produced four telegraph messages dated the 2d, 3d, and 4th of last Septem ber from N. I. Calisher, London, to Louis Calisher, Royal Hotel, Holyhead ; from Juliette Smart (an assumed name) to Louis Calisher; from N. J. Ca lisher to Mrs. Calisher at Birmingham; and from Juliette Dash (assumed name), of 28, Norfolk street. Strand, to Louis Calisher—all of which mes sages, it was alleged, referred to the bankrupts' affairs at the time that Kortoske was leaving Eng land for Canada. Mr. Hart, the agent for Mr.Wilcock in the above transaction, said he had also sold goods to the bankrupts on account of other firms, who were cre ditors for the following amounts :—Abraham Tal bot, of Morley, near Leeds, £7B 4s. 9d.; Craven and Wilson, of Rastrick, near Huddersfield, £69 10s.; Iredale and Lockwood, of the same place, £lBl 65.; and Sheard and Senior, of Batley, £33 12s. 3d. Those were all first transactions. Braun afterwards said he had plenty of private property to pay every one 30s. in the pound. At this afage the case was further remanded, and the defendants admitted to bail, amounting in the aggregate to £12,000. COUN: IEY 111AJU L 1 AS. -4 , - BOSTON-JULY 30.
