Some short time afterwards, from circumstances which had transpired, she was charged with having given birth to a child, which she admitted, and stated that she had hid the body in the copper in the kitchen. A search was then made, when the body of the ehild was found, quite dead, and on examination it was found that the skull was fractured. The jury ultimately acquitted the prisoner of the charge of murder, and convicted her on the second count, for con cealment of the birth. son T m h e e n i t ea w rn it e h d h J a u r d d g l e ab s o en ur te . nced her to three months impri- William Harrington was indicted for causing the death of an aged man named Hammond. The prisoner was a tradesman, and was driving his dog cart in the neighbourhood of Islington, when the unfortu nate person, who was extremely deaf, was knocked down and very much hurt. Some time afterwards he died. Evidence having been adduced, The jury found the prisoner guilty. The learned Judge sentenced him to three weeks' im prisonment, 711 E GREAT BANK PAPER ROBBERY. NEW COURT. (Before Baron Bramwell.) MORE GAROTTE ROBBERIES.—John Painter, labourer, and Charles Thompson, joiner, were indicted for feloniously assaulting Samuel Prior with intent to rob him. The prosecutor was a clerk in a publio office, and was passing along Cockspur-street on the night of the robbery, when he was stopped by the prisoners in the most violent manner. One of them seizing him by the throat, whilst the other commenced unbuttoning his waistcoat. An alarm was raised by the prosecutor, when both parties ran away, the police, who had in the interim came up, following them. After a short chase both persons were captured. A cabman who was passing with his vehicle at the time also identified the prisoners as the persons whom ho saw stop the gentleman. William Smith, labourer; Gibson Burley, sailor; and George Needham, sailor, were indicted for a robbery with violence on George Rowell, and stealing from his person. The prosecutor went into a brothel, where he was robbed of his property. Baron Bramwell said the present case was very different from other cases with which they had been occupied. The public could not have much sympailay with a married man, the father of a family, who goes to a brothel on a Saturday night and there gets robbed of his property. The jury returned a verdiet of not guilty. The prisoners wets then again indicted for robbing Wm. Began. The prosecutor said he was induced to accompany a wo man to the same house as that to which the prosecutor in the last case went. While Began was talking to the woman the three men came into the rcom, one by one, when they seized him by the throat, threw him on the bed, and vio lently robbed him of all his money, and then turned him out. He said his throat was acre for a fortnight from the effects of the ill-usage. The jury found all three prisoners guilty, A previous conviction was preyed against Needham and Burley. The learned Judge asked whether anything else was known about the prisoners. Inspector Lindsay said—Needham had been 12 times in custody, and six times convicted. Burley had been twice in custody for assaulting the police, and Smith had been four times in custody for the same offence, in addition to which he had been twice convicted for robbing drunken men. The learned Judge sentenced Needham to 10 years, and Smith and Burley to three years' penal servitude. George Smith—l am a carpenter, residing at Overton. I was employed at the Laverstoke Mills in 1860. I was then engaged in work with Henry Brown and the prisoner Brewer. I recollect on the 13th of July last seeing Brown at Overton that Sunday evening. Litchfield was with him. I noticed Brown had a black bag in his hand. They wero both walking in the direction to Laverstoke. I walked over towards my own home, but when I passed the Laverstoke Mill I did not hear Brown's footsteps. Brewer lived up the same lane that Brown's father does. I afterwards saw Henry Brown come on to the end of the lane, when Brewer came out to him, and in a few minutes they went into the house. I don't think Brown saw me, neither do I believe that he went that night to his father's house. It was twelve minutes past ten o'clock in the evening when I saw Brown near Brewer's house. Frederick Cornell, shoemaker, was indicted for feloniously receiving 181bs. of gutta percha, the goods of Henry Bew lay and another, well knowing the same to be stolen. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The Recorder sentenced him to 12 months' imprison ment, with hard labour. This morning Buncher, Cummings, Brewer, Burnett, Griffiths, and Williams, were again placed at the bar before Alderman Cut ett. Mr. Freshfield appeared to prosecute; Mr. Lewis de fended Brewer and Mr. Peter, Buncher. The first witness examined was, John Stanley, who said—l am a bricklayer residing at Shipcott-lane, Birmingham. I know the prisoner Griffiths, and have done so for many years. I have helped him on his farm, when I've had no bricklaying to do. I ale) assist at a public house called the Old Robin Hood. I was waiting there in August and September last. I recollect Griffith coming there at the time accompanied by another —the prisoner Buncher. They had two or three cups of ale. I waited on them. They were in the public parlou. I have seen them twice in all at the house. It was about three o'clock one day and six the other. They remained over half an hour. Before they went away on the second occasion, Griffiths said, "This is Mr. Buncher, he's going back to London to-night." By Mr. Pater—l cannot now swear whether Buncher was present at the time. I don't know exactly whether it was August or September that I saw him. By Mr. Lewis—The first time I ever mentioned this cir cumstance was to Frampton, a policeman, at Overton, on last Saturday weer. I was paid half•a-crown for the in formation, but not by the policeman. A gentleman from the mill paid me and promised me my expenses attending here. I was not employed to do a " watching job." I don't know why I listened, but I recollect x x a:a not speak about all:this before was because I did not know that anybody wanted to know. I will swear it was on the 13th of July, in the present year, on a - Sunday, that I met Henry Brown. I can't be mistaken about the day. 1 will positively swear I saw Brown enter Brewer'e house. The constable first came to me to find out what I knew. I din't go to him. John Litchfield—l am recond foreman at the Laverstock paser mills. I have been engaged during the last ten years in the manufacture of paper there. The paper on which the note numbereft 31,109 is printed was made at Laverstoke mills. It has not gone through the process of glazing. The case was proceeding when we went to press, 82 84 10 1 Icl- 10 lof 13 20t 21} given half subeequeni BRITISH POSSESSIONS Railways 100 — Atlantic Si St Lawrence Itk IBom.,Baroda&.Cent Ind I Gu. 5 per cent.. 20 Do.

The twenty thousand inhabitants of Skye have a more precarious subsistence than the inhabitants of almost any other part of the United Kingdom. Their soil is barren, except in a few valleys, and at the heads of the interior lochs ; and from the moun tains the traveller may see how scanty is the tillage. There are strips of cultivation in the levels and by the margin of the lakes, and patches here and there on the moorlands ; and there are a few scattered farms, very poor, and difficult to manage. The climate is such that nothing is attempted beyond oats and potatoes. These and the fishery constitute the main tenance of the country and shore people; and the tradesfolk depend, of course, on the custom of their neighbours. Everything that is reported is dear; and almost everything is imported—even to butchers' meat. Peat from the moorland is the fuel used. The oats have almost altogether failed to ripen this year ; and a considerable proportion has never been cut at all, It lies swamped under the snow. The potatoes are the main resource of the people, from autumn to midsummer, and the potatoes are this season a mere mass of putridity. The inhabitants are sitting amidst their hurricanes, and hail, and snow, without fire as well as without food ; for the continual rains of this year have so flooded the moorland that no peat could be got. The ministers of Skye are in despair about saving the people without immediate help; and already the children are down in measles, and their parents wasting away in low fever. The fever is creep ing on from house to house, and from village to village. Such is the account which lies before me, from the hand of the minister of Sleet. The name will call up recollections in the minds of tourists, who may perhaps feel that their summer pleasures so far bind them to the place and people as to constitute some sort of obligation to help them in their fearful stress. In the absence of a Count Rumford, we must use our own wits about how to go to work : and we ought to have both wit and heart enough to ship off some cargoes of potatoes, meal, and fuel (peat if possible, to suit the island-hearths). Unless this is done, there will be something worse in Skye than we have been dreading in Lancashire. Will some one go and cross that strip of stormy sea, and learn the extent of the need, and show us how to meet it, in the quickest and best way ? If so, that explorer will look back, all his life, on that winter trip with more satisfaction than on any autumn touring, from the peaks of the Alps to the I depths of Mammoth caves.—Once a Week. THE LANCASHIRE DIS2RESS. It is possible that a Count Rumford—an apostle of comfort to the destitute—may arise out of the needs of the time; and perhaps I may have been led to the choice of my theme to-day by some vague hope that the revival of the image of Count Rum ford may hasten the appearance of some successor, in the crisis of our need. We all rejoice to hear of a sick kitchen in one place ; of penny meals and pleasant rooms to eat them in another; and of pro posals for a training kitchen elsewhere. We are all glad to hear that in some districts the melancholy sameness of the dole of meal and soup, or breadand soup, is broken up, and that the variety of potato hash, rice and milk, &c., is introduced. But still, we are but too well aware that the people gene rally are not sufficiently nourished, and that they do not so enjoy their meals as to derive the full benefit of what they eat. We have not now, thank Heaven ! natural philosophers who pro pose starch for poor men's diet, because starch com prehends such and such nutritious elements ; nor mightyDakes who come forward, brave in conscious humanity, to recommend a pinch of curry powder in cold water to warm the poor man's stomach, aching with emptiness. We have not to blush for this kind of display of humanity; but neither have we as yet a Count Rumford who would ask of us only our money and our help, in order to ensure a full and comfortable support to every sufferer in Lancashire till the mills are going again. We would readily forgive any appearance of military drill in his methods, at such an hour as the present, in con sideration of the security he would certainly give us that nobody should die of hunger, if only we would provide the money, and would give him the spending of it. If a Count Rumford the Second would present himself to-day, we would make sore of his name being known in the next century more widely and more familiarly than that of his prede cessor.—Once a Week. AN OLD WELSH CUSTOM.— k very pretty usage, which eventually died away (although it has been partially revived in some places), was that of the Plygain, which consisted in holding an early service on Christmas morning in the church, illuminated for the occasion. At 4 o'clock a.m. the bells rang out merrily, and the singers proceeded to the parsonage to escort the vicar to the church porch, lighting up the road with their torches, and singing carols lustily. Crickhowell, in Breconshire, was noted for its Plygain, though it has been discontinued for some years,te the vicar and inhabitants preferring their slumbers to the early early service. It is, I believe, carried out as in days of yr_ in the parish of Llanover, in Monmouthsh ire, the wre o a i I character of which village is carefully ke p t up by a nn i , d s! 1. 2: Llanover, an enthusiast in nationality and Welsh flannel.— Once a Week.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.--A CASE FOR THE DIVORCE COURT.—William Taylor, of 4, Little Stanhope-street, Mayfair, servant, was charged before Mr. Knox with as saulting his wife, Sarah Ellen Taylor. The wife, a respectable -looking female, said that a quar ter past ene that_raorning, was bitting up with a young female who lived in the same house, her husband came home drunk. A soon as the female left, her husband commenced a violent assault upon her, striking her several blows about the eyes and nose. She then called a constable and gave her husband in charge. Eliza Henderson, the person alluded to by the com plainant, said, that hearing screams from the complainant she entered the room and found the defendant with hie hands twisted in his wife's hair. She got between them and separated them. They (complainent and her husband) had only lived in the house seven weeks, and there had been frequent quarrels. Mr. Knox observed that he saw no marks of violence about complainant, and she then exhibited the hand which the defendant had bitten. • Cameron, 40 C, proved being called to the house by the wife and the last witness, and said, seeing marks of violence on the complainant's hands, he took the defendant into custody. In answer to Mr. Knox, the wife said she had only been married to the defendant four months, and shortly after her marriage she had to leave her husband in consequence of his threatening to cut her throat. After a time she went back to live with her husband, and he had ill-used her i ever since, whether sober or not. The first Sunday after she was married her husband tore her dress from her back. ill-omened marriage Knox remarked that it seemed to be an marriage altogether. The wife said she would rather do anything than live with her husband again. He had threatened to be hanged for murdering her, and she believed he would do it. Defendant made no defence. Mr. Knox said the defendant's conduct was most abomi nable, and he had been guilty of a series of acts of bruta lity. Fortunately for the defendant his wife had no other marks of violence about her than that on her hand. As it was the first time the defendant had been before him, he should not punish him so severely as he otherwise would have done, but he would commit him for one month with hard labour. ROMSEY AT TH W E s t e r a l o i l n i o g e o o o m u e s tIaebaIdeEESLAIIIDNITSITONER—. R George Hemmings and William Littl e , two labouring men,. were charged with wr pipe il from K the ett t l e 9 m 7 a i Xt o a n a a i l d Ethxhiat batitfioounr. o'clock yesterday afternoon he was on duty at one of the doors of the exhibition, when he observed the two pri soners about to Pass Out, Hemmings carrying a roll of lead pipe in his right hand, and Little walking close behind him to conceal it from observation. Witness stopped Hemmings and asked what he was doing there with the lead. Little said it was only a bit of old lead which he had given the other prisoner for assisting him in some work. Mr. Paynter—Was the lead produced attached to the building ? Witness—Yes; to the eastern annexe. Mr. Paynter—Have you compared it with what is left ? Witness—Yes; and it corresponds. It was taken only a few minutes previously. Mr. Paynter—Are the prisoners employed in the build- ing ? Witness—Little was employed there as the turncock, but nothing is known of the other m an . Mr. Paynter—ls there anyone present who can give further information upon the subject ? Captain Brent, supe rinten dent of the fire, gas, and water arrangements at the Exhibition, said that Little had been recommended by Mr. Carter, the superintendent of the West Middlesex Water Company. Hemmings had no business in the building. A w ater- p i pe had burst yes terda y after noon, and Little had been engaged in repairing it. No per son had any right to take property off the building. Hemmings said he was carrying the pipe openly, and might have disposed of it unseen had he wished, but he meant no wrong. Little denied that he was walking so as to screen the other from observation, or that he had ever told the con stable that he gave it to him. Mr. Paynter said there was not slightest excuse for their taking the lead pipe out of the building, and committed the prisoners for one month each to hard labour in the House of Correction.

JULES GERlRD.—Yesterday a numerously attended meeting took place in the Cotton-sales-room, Exchange, Liverpool, for the purpose of hearing from M. Jules Gerard, the celebrated African traveller and lion killer, an account of his projected exploration of Central Africa. The chair on the occasion was occupied by Mr. Charles Turner, M.P., and the audi ence included a large number of the merchants and ship owners of Liverpool. M. Gerard, who spoke in French, described his experience in African travels and his adven tures on that continent ; and explained that during his many years' sojourn in Africa he had acquired an intimate knowledge of the languages and habits of various tribes of people, which, he urged, would be valuable in his present contemplated journey. He had received the permission of the French Government to prosecute a journey into Central Africa, and in detailing the plan of this scheme he stated that his objects in undertaking the journey would be— first, to ascend one of the principal rivers which have their mouths on the coast of Guinea ; secondly, to search for the sources of the Niger, now unknown, and to acquire a knowledge of the resources of the country and of the peoples who reside in those mountainous regions, as also what possibility there would be of creating settlements for fix tending the producing powers of that part of Africa and its barter trade with Europe ; thirdly, to continue these observations and these studies on the countries among the people who inhabit the chores of the Niger as far as Timbuctoo ; fourthly, from Timbuctoo he intends to return to Europe by the Great Desert and to Liverpool to organize the foundation of a first settlement on the spot which shall appear the most favourable. M. Gerard fur ther explained that his undertaking had received the sup port of several scientific and geographical societies, and ex pressed a hope that he would likewise receive the sympathies and support of the merchants of Liverpool. Mr. Turner urged that the project should be supported by them as men, on ground that M. Gerard's efforts would tend to abolish the horrible massacre of human beings of which we now read as occurring on the African continent, and also that it should be promoted by them as merchants, ~ . t he object was to develope the resources of a fertile but hitherto un productive region. Mr. John Laird, M.P., likewise com mended the undertaking, and pointed out the peculiar fit ness from past experience of M. Gerard to prosecute the journey. It was announced that Mr. Charles Stoess had consented to become local treasurer of the fund, and that subscriptions would bo received at the various public insti • utions of the town. Who, of the present generation, knows anything of Count Rumford ? At the mention of his name every body thinks of stoves. In most people's minds there is a sort of wonder whether he could be a real count if his busi ness in life was—stoves. Some of us elders of our day had fathers who knew Count Rumford, and who remembered and talked of him, not in connection with stoves, but as a nobleman of great knowledge, of an active inquiring spirit, of great administrative faculty, and the most indefatigable, resolute, vigilant, and enterprising benevolence. When ever society needs the largest amount of comfort at the smal lest cost, the name and memory of Count Rumford come up again. In times of ordinary prosperity, when our work people are well employed and paid, and our gentry gather new luxuries about them, and entertain their minds with study and speculation, the man is forgotten, or spoken of only for this or that intervention. When we have a parti cularly bad harvest, or any commercial adversity which throws millions of destitute people on our hands to be fed and cheered, Count Rumford's name is heard where old people are talking together of the black years of their lives. There may be less and less of this as the old folks pass away ; but it will be a good while yet before there is nobody lett to quote the sayings and doings of the large-hearted and practical-minded man who fed the hungry in four countries of Christendom, and showed how the greatest number could be nourished and cheered at the smallest cost.—Once a Week. _ SOUTHAMPTON, Wednesday.—The North Ger man Lloyd screw stermer Hansa, Captain H.

MURDER OF A POLICEMAN. HALESWORTH, SUFFOLK, WEDNESDAY. Yesterday great excitement was caused in this town from the tact that since that morning a police man had disappeared, and was supp9sed to have been murdered, and the same evening the body was found, death evidently having resulted from foul play. It seems that the murdered officer,Ebenezor Tye, who is about 22 years of age, went on duty as usual on Monday night, and the last time be is known to have been seen alive was about 4 o'clock on Tuesday morning, when he was spoken to by a brother officer. His'beat was in the town of Hales worth. As he did not report himself as usual on Tuesday, at the police-station, a search was made, which resulted in the finding of the body in a shal low stream which runs through the town. The poor man was lying on his back, with his bands in front of him as if when he died he had been endea vouring to force back some person with whom he was struggling. Close by were his handcuffs and his hat, whilst his staff was found in the osier ground which bordered the stream. A man named John Ducker has been apprehended charged with the murder, and also a man named Stephen Warren, and the wife of the latter. The facts against Ducker seem to be these. That about 6 o'clock on Tuesday morning the deceased and ucker were beard by a woman who was going out washing scuffling at the corner of a court called Clark's-buildings, which leads from Chediston -street to the stream where the body was found. It is known that the deceased was watching Ducker, who bears a very bad character, and from a truss of hay found in Ducker's house, which is situate in Clark's•buildings, it is supposed that the deceased stopped Ducker and endeavoured to search him; that Ducker made off, ran through the water, and Tye catching him in the osier ground they had a struggle there. Then it is thought Ducker suc ceeded 10 breakiug fiuui the deceased and ran into the water, where Tye followed him, and after a further scuffle Tye was knocked down and held un der the water until he was dead. The face of the deceased bears marks of many blows, but none which would seem of sufficient violence to cause death. Ducker is more punished than the deceased. He is a man between 6J and 70 years of age, but of great strength. About twelvemonths since the deceased received very severe injuries when endeavouring to secure two men who were committing a felony. An in is to be opened to-night. ANOTHER FAILURE OF THE NETV POACHING ACf. At the Keele Petty Sessions on Tuesday three well-known poachers, named Thos. Parton, Wm. Leyton, and Joseph Williams, were charged before Mr. T. F. Twemlow, the Rev. C. H. Mainwaring, and Mr. F. S. Broade, with being unlawfully in possession of game. About six o'clock on the morn ing of Nov. 19, Police-officers Bradshaw, Taylor, and Rushton, of the county force, were on duty in the turnpike road at Seabridge, and met the de fendants, whom they stopped and searched. They found on Parton a bag with nine rabbits and a hare; on Williams seven rabbits, a hare, a net, and a quan- tits of pegs; on Leighton eight rabbits, a hare, and a net. The nets were damp, and the sharp ends of the pegs were damp and dirty, us if just used. On the following day Bradshaw, accompanied by a gamekeeper of Mr. Davenport, of the Maer, went round the covers of the estate, and in one of the fields found a number of peg holes, and the soil of the field was of a similar nature to the dirt on the pegs found on the prisoner Williams. The facts of the cases (each prisoner being tried separately), having been brought out in evidence, _ _ Mr. Twemlow said it a conviction could take place on suspicion, of course the magistrates could have no doubt in this case, but they were bound by the act of Parliament, and it certainly seemed to him that the evidence was not sufficient to show that the prisoners came into possession of the game unlawfully, though there was no moral doubt of it. Therefore, as far as he was concerned, he should decline to convict. Mr. Mainwaring said he had little doubt about the case being clearly proved against the prisoners, and he could not concur with Mr. Twemlow's re marks. Mr. Broade, not having heard the whole of the first case, aeclined to take any part in the adjudi cation, and it requiring two magistrates to convict, the prisoners were discharged.—Birmingham Post.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. Our market to-day was moderately supplied with beasts in fair average condition. Most breeds changed hands slowly; nevertheless, compared with Monday, very little change took place in-the quotations. Downs and half-bred sheep were in steady request at full prices—the top figure being 5s 8d per 81bs ; but all other breeds moved off heavily at barely previous currencies. The show of calves was moderate, and the veal trade ruled somewhat firmer at ex treme rates. The demand for pigs was less active on for mer terms. In much cows very little was doing.
