HE SUN, LONDON, SATUR 0A v EVENING, IVIARCR 29, 1862. SHOCKING _MURDER AND Ari EMP TED SUICIDE,-(THIS DAY.) Soon after the opening of the Marylebone Police-court a constable of the S division made known to Mr. Mansfield the fact of a man having at six this morning murdered a young woman named Bette', by shooting her through the neck with a gun, and thereby causing her instant death. He afterwards shot himself in the head, and blew off the l e f t j aw, as a l so a greater portion of his cheek. The con static, who had heard the report, rushed instantly to the spot, and found the man, whose name our reporter has not yet been able to ascertain, lying in a pool of blood, with the gun, a double-barrelled one, by his side, and on a question being put to him by the officer, he replied in a faint voice, " I could not help it." The shocking occurrence took place near the Adam and Eve, Mill Hill, Hendon. It appears the parties were sweethearts, and resided next door to each other in cottages adjacent to the public house alluded to. The murdered young female was convoyed to her own home, and the man himself was taken to Middlesex Hos,. ital, where, from the frightful nature of his injuries he remains, without the slightest chance of his recovery. Up to three o'clock this afternoon the man was still alive. LA W INTELLIG2NCE,—(This Day.) SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) SMITH S DARRY, AND CO. --A CURIOUS QUESTION. COLLINGRIDGE Y. MA.GULLICAN. This was an action to recover for some advertisements inserted. Plaintiff's clerk produced the order, which purported to be signed by " Smith, Barry, and Co," His Honour—Well, defendant, did you sign this ? Defendant (looking at the document with both eyes)— Well, it is very like my writing, but I don't think I could have signed it, as I was not in the firm then: (Laughter.) His Honour—ls there any person here who saw the order signed ? A respectable-looking g man said—l saw defendant sign Defendant—l say I did not. theorder. young firm of Smith, Barry, and Co. w a s th en ca ll e d over the coals, and one of the plaintiff's wit nesses sa id th a t , w h en he applied for payment, ho was referred to some person in the Queen's Bench. (Roars of laughter.) His Honour—Who is Mr. Smith ? Witness—l was always introduced to the defendant as Mr. Smith. (Laughter.) Defendant—l deny it, and beg to say that my name has been in the Directory for ten years. lam not liable for this debt. His Honour—You see, defendant, that if, in consequence of a bad member of a firm, debtslmight be invalidated, there is nothing to prevent a firm of 15 persons, consisting of 14 good and one bad, getting £15,000 worth of goods, and sending the bad partner through the court. (Heat, hear.) I must believe the witness for the plaintiff. Defendant—lf your honour will adjou rn the e, cas I can produce Smith. (Laughter.) His Honour—Oh, no ; it might be i nconvenient to have him here. (Renewed laughter.) I are inclined to think we have Mr. Smith here. Defendant protested against this, and said the action was a spiteful one. His Honour considered that plaintiff had made out his case, and gave plaintiff a verdict with costs. Some stir having been made about the S a t urday sittings, his Honour inquired of each . suitor if S aturday was an inconvenient day, and at least eight out of ten said it was the most convenient day in the week, the legal profession in a lArly speaking strongly of the convenience. POLICE INTELLIG - ENCE.--( v as Day.) A young man, named Henry George Lockyer, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing thr ee £lO B an k . of England notes. The prisoner, it appears, was a footman in the service of gardens,tht e ervioe and in consequenc e o f in e M er r. ta l i V n il circumstances,h g Eleft October. Shortly after that he was taken into custody for obtaining a situation by means of a false character and was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. On the expiration of that sentence he was again taken into custody and charged with stealing the three £lO notes. Mr. Peach said—l am clerk to Mr. Wilkin, of 10, Spring -gardens, who is receiver to the Crown for the Principality of Wales. The prisoner was employed as a domestic servant in the establishment. On the evening of the Bth of October I placed three £lO notes in my desk, and on my return the next morning I found they had been taken away. The prisoner had access to the office. The numbers of the stolen notes were 09,427-8-9. Mrs. Mary Davis, the wife of Mr. Davis, baker, of 19, George-street, Portman .square, said—l changed a £lO note for the prisoner on the 16th of October last. I did not know the prisoner. I took him to be a servant of a custo mer of ours. The man was dressed in plain clothes, and wore a Glengarry cap, He was not in my sight more than a minute. I was first shown to the prisoner to day in a room adjoining the court. There were other persons present. I had no description of the prisoner. The officer first told me he had got the man who had changed the note, and then I was brought down to see if I could recognize him. I told the officers I was not sure that I should be able to recognize the man. lam quite sure the man I changed the note for wore a Scotch cap. The people were all sitting round the room when I was taken in to recognize the prisoner. I gave a descrip tion of the man who changed the note. The reason the name of the party changing the note is not on the back is that the prisoner took up the gold very hurriedly and left the shop. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. FRUIT.

In answer to the magistrate, witness said the gentleman who took the note from her husband placed his (Davis's) name on the note. Mr. Corrie said it would be necessary that the gentleman should be in attendance. Mr, Lewis, who appeared for the prisoner, contended that his client had been unfairly treated. Hs was wearing a hat when he was taken into custody, and because he had a carpet bag, in which was a Glengarry bonnet, the hat was taken from him, and was compelled to wear the Scotch cap. He did not consider such a course at all fair. Mr. Corrie thought the officer had done no more than his duty, and said he should remand the prisoner for further evidence, which he was informed would be produced on the next occasion. The witnesses, however, who had given their evidence to-day might sign their depositions, and that would dispense with their attendance when the prisoner was again brought up. COVENT GARDEN.

OBTAINING ♦ SITUATION BY MEANS OF FALSE REPRE SENTATIONS.—CONVICTION,—Richard Hazell, a barman, was charged as follows :—Mr. Wm. Michael Davis, of the Britannia, Portland street, Soho, said he advertised for a barman, and the prisoner applied for the situation, and his daughter, who managed his business, he being infirm, en gaged him, he representing that he had been 18 months in his previous situation, but from what he (Mr. Davis) had since learnt, he had only been out of prison three months for a similar offence. Mr. Davis's daughter said she managed her father's business, and the prisoner applied for the situation, stating that he had left his forme: one at Mrs. Martindale's, Sey mour Chambers, Duke-street, Adelphi, seven or eight weeks, and that his name was Charles Stephens. He also said that he had a good character, and only left because there was no further occasion for his services. Mrs. Martindale gave her a good account of Charles Stephens, and in consequence she took tho prisoner into her employ. Mrs. Susan Martindale, of Seymour Chambers, said she had had a servant named Charles Stephens, and he left her seven or eight weeks since, but he was not the prisoner,who was an entire stranger to her. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, who appeared fcr the prisoner, said ho had no answer to the charge, the Magistrate remarking at the same time that it was a very bad one. Mr. Thomas Brown, wine merchant, of 34, Great Quebec-street, Montagu-square, said the prisoner had been in his employ, and all the while he was with him he robbed him of about £1 a day. He charged the prisoner, and he was convicted of the robbery at Clerkenwell. The prisoner was ordered to pay a penalty of £2O, or to be imprisoned for three months.

The betting fraternity who used to congregate in such large force in Bride-lane, Fleet-street, but who wero ultimately driven out of that neighbourhood by the city police after a stout resistance, have now found quarters in a less desirable part of the town—namely, in Castle-street, Long-acre, just at the junction of the two parishes of St. Martin's-in-the fields and St Giles's-in-the-fields. At this spot a crowd of some hundreds of betting sharps assembled yesterday. All of them were provided with little memorandum books, in which they carefully entered their transactions, and, judg ing from the animated conversation which took place, and the eagerness which was displayed, it appeared that busi ness was thriving. The spot alluded to is just under the dark shade of Combe and Delafield's brewery, Here the betting men are not molested by the police, There was only one police officer present at the busiest time yesterday, JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.—A return was yes day published of the names, objects, places where business is or was conducted, and dates of registration, of all joint stock companies (limited) formed since the passing of the act 18 and 19 Vic., c. 133; also the nominal capital, the capital paid up, date and nature of the last return to the Registration-office, and whether still in operation, or being wound up.

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

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

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

The only change on the Northamptonshire Stakes was the slight advance of most of the favourites. Rapparee WerB not quite so firm, but no higher off.T than 9 to 1 was made. Nothing was done on the Earl Spencer's Plate. For the Chester Cup, 20 to 1 was booked about Simla to win a few hundreds.

Mr. Louis Lucas, a gentleman well known for his scientific attainments, a few days ago received a select circle of visitors at his house, to exhibit and explain the principle of an apparatus of his awn invention, by which a physiological fact of great importance is rendered apparent, viz., the direct action of the living frame on the magnetic needle. The apparatus itself is of extraordinary simplicity. A single element of Bunsen's battery has its poles in communication with an electro mag netic bobbin, surmounted by a graduated disc, bear ing a magnetic needle which oscillates freely round its centre, as in the common compass. This part of the apparatus is protected by a glass shade; the plate may be raised and lowercd at pleasure by a wheel and rack. The conducting wires, after com municating with the bobbin, branch oat towards the operator, and are connected together by a loose metal chain. The apparatus being in this state, the needle remains perfectly quiescent, until the operator takes hold of the chain either with one hand or both, when the needle at once begins to move, describing arcs of from 10 to 90 degrees. No principle hitherto admitted into physical science can account for this strange phenomenon, and we are compelled to admit a physiological action ca pable of producing such motion. The experiment was varied in many ways in our presence, and we were ourselves allowed to test our individual power on the needle. That the cause of the motion was of a physiological nature was further proved b y the circumstance that the oscillations of the needle varied in intenoity according to the persons ex perimenting, and even according as the same per son might be differently affected eitherbytranstqautiels lity or a warm disc'ission, suc h different naturally modifying the susceptibility yo p f the nervous pro duced system. Stranger still, some p ers the oscillations by a non-conductor.

C.IMPDEN-HOUSE. Although the pressure of the parliamentary sea son precluded any immediate notice, so interesting a relic of former times as Campdenhouse, Kensing ton, cannot be permitted to pass away without our devoting a small portion of space to its many his torical and personal associations. The readers of our impression of last Monday' learnt that on the morning of the previous day a fire broke out in that ancient building, and in the course of a few hours left nothing standing but the shattered walls ; but; perhaps few were aware of the value which the old house possessed in the eyes of antiquarians. Those who are acquainted with the neighbourhood called Campden- hill—a tract of undulating ground lying between Kensington and Notting-hill, and dotted about with comfortable mansions standing in a wooded park, though somewhat spoiled of late years by the inroad of smart new villas—must have ob erved the picturesque and venerable red brick structure, which is now all but obliterated. With its high and in some places ancient garden walls, its trees; and its greensward, it looked like what it was — a real old English country hall; for, at the time it was built, it mus t h ave b een in the close proximity of fields. Two hundred and fifty years have passed since Sir Baptist Hickes, a wealthy silk mercer of Cheapside, founder of Hickes's Hall, Clerkenwell, a n d afterwards created by James L Viscount Campden, erected the mansion,which was ultimately called after his title, for the date is said to be about 1612. Th e C am pdens in the civil war of next reign sided with the----/cin g , an d th e t hi r d V iscount was obliged to compo un d w i th the commissioners of sequestration appointed by the Commonwealth, who for a time took the house for their official resi , however, after deuce. The chagrined noblema n wards enjoyed what he as a royalist must have con sidered full compensation for his injuries ; for, on the Restoration, he had the nonour to entertain Charles 11. at supper, when doubtless the wa ll s which are now but a line of rains echoed with a roaring carouse, kingly wit, and courtly laughter. The third Earl of Lindsay, one of the most truly chivalrous and devoted followers of Charles 1., and the father-in-law of the third Lord Campden, died in the Kensington mansion, which in the next generation was let to Princess, afterwards Queen Anne. Here she resided for sometime with her husband, Prince George of Denmark, and her poor little sickly son the Duke of Gloucester, who, after being first absurdly pampered and then treated with ignorant severity by his weak-minded parents, died of water on the brain. In the pampering days he was allowed to command a regiment of boy soh diers, duly equipped with all the instruments of war, whom he would marshal on parade, riding at their head on a pony, and whom he was empowered to punish when they committed any breach of dis cipline, by setting them on a wooden horse. The Princess made an addition to Campden 'house at the western end, which is now regarded as a separate dwelling, and was formerly called Little Campden- House. It is at present known as the Elms, and is occupied by Mr. Augustus Egg, R.A. This build ing also is of great size, and, with its substantial old - fashioned look and surrounding leafiness, seems a fit abode for an artist. It suffered to some ex tent in the late fire, but the flames were checked before they seized on the main body. Campden-house in the year 1704 came into the possession of the Dowager Countess of Burlington, and her son Richard Boyle, afterwards Earl—not the great Boyle, but a man of intellect and taste. The mansion was subsequently the property of the Whig lawyer and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lan caster, Lord Lechmere, who is now chiefly remem bered in connexion with a mock-heroic ballad, called "Duke upon Duke," and attributed both to Gay and Swift. In this ballad we read of " Campden.house so high," and find many other pleasant memorials of the neighbourhood. In time this " house so high," the sometime residence of royal personages of viscounts, countesses, and earls, came to be a fashionable boarding -school for young ladies, and used to be visited by witty George Selwyn, who went there to see a girl in whom he took an inte rest, and who received a fortune from him and another from the libertine Duke of Queensberry, both of whom conceived they had a claim to be con sidered her father. The mansion was at one time somewhat modernised, probably in the last century ; but in the main it was the original structure of Sir Baptist Hickes. Of late years it has come again into notice, as the residence of the unenviably • famous Colonel Waugh, and as the scene of some illustrious private theatricals, in which many lite rary celebrities of our day have acted for charitable objects. In the garden there was once a remark able caper tree, which endured the open air of our forbidding climate for nearly a century, and, though unsupplied with artificial heat, produced fruit every year. The house itself has now followed the tree into extinction, and the lover of antiquity has sustained a loss which he will not speedily cease to regret. THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH FENT _RAILWAY. The inquiry into the circumstances connected with the fatal accident which occurred on the North Kent line between Stroud and Gravesend, on the afternoon of the 20th inst., whereby Geo. Waller, the head guard of the train, was killed, was resumed yesterday, at the Town-hall, Gravesend, before Mr. E. Hilder, the borough coroner. Richard Grant, the driver of the engine of the train to which the accident occurred, said he did not feel any jerker or unusual motion till the engine ran off the line. They were travelling at less than 30 miles an hour. As soon as the engine ran off he reversed the en gine and put her on her back gear. The engine then ran down the bank on the left side into the ditch. Charles Grant, fireman of the engine, said he had time to give his break several turns, but had not time to put it on very hard. Various persons who had been passengers at the time of the acci dent confirmed the statement made by these wit nesses. Joseph Solomon, farmer, Shorne, said that on hearing of the accident he went to the spot and walked down the line to ascertain where the engine first went off the line. After proceeding about 60 yards he noticed one of the rails lying on its side, and on kicking the chairs he found that they had just been broken. The engine, before turning over, I had broken one of the rails with the off wheels, and I the lurch threw it over into the ditch. Witness could see no chairs lying about. He was under the im- I pression that all the chairs had been broken by the oscillation of the engine caused by the wet, and the rail was then driven aside. The only portion of the spot chairs on part on the left-hand side. Mr. Lewis Portch chairs that appeared to be displaced was the outer ' Thursday, said the inside port stationmaster at Gravesend , who portions s s i t o e f d t t h h e e broken were sound, but he did not notice th e k eys. others.

There was a bulge on the left side, and another on the right side of the rail when he noticed it. This had caused the chairs to be displaced and the trenails to give w ay. The trenails shown to the coroner and jury had been put in since the accident. The length of the rail displaced was 15ft. It had six chairs and four trenails. The trenails produced appeared to have been in use ever since the formation of the line. They were made by Messrs. Ransome and May. After William Lipkott, inspector of the permanent way, had been examined the jury remarked that it appeared most extraordinary that they could not ascertain who executed the repairs made on the t permanent way on the night of the accident. Cap t. Tyler said he had been anxious to a scertain le C d t a h t a o t ' fact from the witnesses, but had hitherto fa i do so.
