But at the beginning of this week, and atthebight of the inextricable teutenant-general 7 to 8. The third Fortschritt candidate, when the poll opened, was Waldeck, whose election at Bielefeld, where he was also put up, was considered doubtful, and whose political friends would not risk his exclusion from the Chamber. But, early in the afternoon, news came that he was returned for Bielefeld by 293 against 244 votes, and thereupon the word was passed to vote for Von Hennig in his stead. It speaks well for the organisation and discipline of the Liberal party that this sudden change at the eleventh hour caused no confusion, nor any imp or t ant wea k en i ng of the majority. M. von Hennig obtained 394 votes, against 102 given to M. Kuhne—one of the leading and most highly-prized members of the Constitu tional, or moderate party. In the three other dis tricts of Berlin the majorities obtained were even greater than in the first; thus, in the fourth, Dr. Luning had 429 votes, and Major Steinhardt (re tired list) 401 ; and the next man to each of them was Count Schwerin, with 28. In short, it was everywhere a hollow thing in favour of the Liberals, who distanced all opponents. In the provinces, so far as is yet known, the expectations founded on the primary elections were yesterday fully realised, The Fortschritt party have gained seats, and their candidates, when successful, have generally won by overpoweringly large majorities, showing how decided the Liberal tendency is in Prussia. We must wait a few days before arriving at an exact classification of the new.

By unalyeis ofa list of 12:5 return: s (not including Berlin) The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty : Commander Lord Elphinstone, to the Vigilant ; Commander J. W. Pike, to the Devastation; J. King, surgeon, to the Indus; J. Fox, confirmed as engineer in the Tribune ; and E. J. Humphreys and J. A. Raven, acting second-class assist.-engineers, to the Indus. The will of the Right Samuel M. Phillipps, one of her Majesty's Most Hon. Privy Councillors, was proved in London on the 15th of April, by the three executors nominated. The personalty was sworn under £12,000. The testator died in March last at his seat, Great Malvern, Worcestershire, at the age of eighty two. He was formerly Under Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment from 1827 to 1848. Mr. Phillipps was of an ancient family and highly connected. He gra duated at Cambridge, and was called to the bar by the Hon. Society of the inner Temple in 1806, and distinguished himself by several useful legal works, the most popular and valuable of which is his cele brated treatise on the law of evidence ; also, a work entitled "A Selection of State Trials." His will, which bears date September, 1859, is exceedingly brief ; and, after stating that his eldest son, whom he has nominated one of his executors, is otherwise provided for, he bequeaths - to him a legacy of £l,OOO, together with his copyright in books; and to his other son, whom he states is provided for in India, he leaves a legacy of £3,000. To the other executors, Lord Glenelg, P.C., and Miss Sybilla Grant, relatives of his (the testator's) late wife, he has left, as tokens of remembrance, some books, which are to be selected by them. The residue of the property is bequeathed to the testator's daugh ters in . equal proportions. The will of Rear-Admiral Edward Augustus Frankland, formerly of Devonport, afterwards of Sienna, in Italy, but late of Florence, in Tuscany, was proved in London by the testator's brother, Cap tain Chas. Colville Frankland, R.N., the sole exe cutor, the personalty in England being sworn under £lB,OOO. This naval officer, who was placed on the retired list of Rear - Admirals, appears to have re sided in Italy for some considerable time. His will was made and executed at Florence in 1858; the witnesses thereto are Rear-Admiral Henry Smith, C. 8., also of Florence, and Valentine lunch. The testator has left the following legacies and annuity —viz., three sums of £lOO each to his sister, Mdme. de Montgomery ; his godson, the youngest son of his cousin, Major Arthur Gosset, R.A. ; and to the eldest son of Sir Baldwin Walker, Bart., Surveyor of the Navy; also a legacy of £25 to a faithful at tendant, and to another an annuity of £.50, together with some furniture, linen, &c. The Admiral has bequeathed to his brother, Capt. C. Colville Frank land, R.N., all the remainder of his property, both real and personal, including all articles of jewel lery, plate, books, arms, suits of uniforms, &c., ap pointing him residuary legatee. The will of Dowager Lady Hawley, of. Park square, Regent's -park, was administered to by her son, Sir Joseph Henry Hawley, Bart., the acting executor, to whom probate was granted by the London Court, power being reserved to her lady .s hip' s daughter, Ellen Catherine to administer hereafter. The test a t r i x, who was highly connected, was the daughter of Sir J. G. Sha w , Bart.; she married in 1806 Sir Henry Hawley, Bart., who died in 1831.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—May 8. on Sunday evening last he was called into a house near Arbour-square, where the prisoner had taken lodgings for a similar purpose. The landlady hap pened to have seen a report of what had taken place in the newspapers while at breakfast, and from the description given of the prisoner by last witness on his examination she suspected him to be the delinquent. The witness took him into custody, and Mrs. Groomridge identified her. He had on at the same time her husband's new boots. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Sittings in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Justices Crompton, Blackburn, and Mellor.) EX PARTE SMILE.-CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. Kerslak e Q.C., said Mr. Bovill had moved on the part of Mr. Smiles, who was the secretary of the South Eastern Railway Company, calling upon Mr. Hamilton t o s h ow cause w h y a cr i m i na l infor mation should not be filed against him, in conse quence of his having written certain letters reflect ing upon the character of Mr. Smiles. The learned counsel went on to state that Mr. Hamilton and his son Were proprietors of a large quantity of shares in the South Eastern Railway, consequently deeply interested in its ,success. In the year 1861,in con sequence of the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail way Company having been formed, it became a question with the South Eastern Railway whether they should reduce their fares, and Mr. Hamilton, although assenting to the lowering of the fares, still thought that it would be injudicious to lower the price of the fares to intermediate stations, and wrote a letter to that effect to the directors. Sub sequently a libel upon Mr. Hamilton appeared in the .Railway Tuna, and a letter containing a copy of the libel was sent to the whole of the sharehol ders, except Mr. Hamilton and his son. This having come to his knowledge, he wrote several letters to the directors, which the learned counsel admitted were very severe on Mr, Smiles. He had now to state that Mr. Hamilton, believing that Mr. Smiles was the publisher of the libel, wrote the letters in question. Mr. Smiles had subsequently informed him that he did not publish the libel, and he (the learned counsel) now had the authority of Mr. Hamilton to say that any imputations contained in the letters he now withdrew and apologised for his conduct. He had spoken to Mr. Bovill upon the subject, who consented to accept the apology and retractation on the part of his client, and therefore the rule would be discharged upon Mr. Hamilton paying the costs. Mr. Bovill, Q.C,, said that nothing could be more satisfactory than Mr. Karslake's statement. He accepted the apology and retractation, and con sented to have the rule discharged on the part of his client. Henry Short, police-constable, 77 G division, said he knew the prisoner as an advertising swindler. In February, 1860, he was tried at the Old Bailey and sentenced to 18 months' hard labour for de frauding several young men who had advertised for situations and had answered his advertisements. He had been previously convicted. Mr. Combo asked if anything was found on the prisoner ? Police•constable 2M M replied that £9 7s. was found on him, besides a number of letters ready to send out in answer to ad vertiscmentr for situations. Police-constable 391 M said when he took the prisoner into custody he said that he was a man of large property, and that he lived at Albion Lodge, Kingsland. The witness, however, could not find such a place. The prisoner was committed for trial. The Lord Chief Justice said he was very happy to hear it. Rule discharged accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—May 9. MARLBOROUGH • S TREE T. TUE CHARGE AGAINST VISCOUNT MlLTON.—Viscount Milton, of No. 4, Grosvenor-square, appeared to answer the charge of having, by false pretences, obtained pos session of a pair of diamond earrings, value £lOO, pledged by Madame Rachel, of No. 47, New Bond street, with Messrs. Stephens, pawnbroker, No. 35, Brewer street. His lordship was placed in the dock appropriated to ordinary prisoners. Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. Neate, solicitor to the Pawnbrokers' Protection Society, appeared for the prosecution ; Sergeant Ballantine, instructed by Mr. Lewis, jun., attended for the defence; and Mr. Metcalfe, instructed by Mr. Wontner, attended on behalf of the owner of the earrings. Mr. Knox, before the proceedings commenced, remarked that when the case was before him last week the gentleman who conducted the defence endeavoured to open a case of fraud against a per son not present ; and a statement had got into the papers prejudicial to that person. He wished, therefore, to state, before the case went further, that the charge of fraud had been imported into this case, and not supported by the evidence. As the Press had given publicity to the charge, he had no doubt that the denial by Madame Rachel, or Levin son, would reach the public in the same way. Mr. Richards, for Madame Rachel, said his client's name was Rachel Levinson, but she traded by the name of Rachel. Mr. Knox had to remark that all that had been stated of Mrs. Rachel Levinson's share in the transaction, with the exception of pledging the ear rings, was groundless. Mr. Sleigh said he appeared to prosecute, in structed by Mr. Neate, solicitor to the Pawnbrokers' Protection Society. He had been put in possession of all the evidence brought forward on the previous examination, and . his opinion was that whatever might be the amount of imprudence which the gen tleman at the bar had been guilty of, the charge was one which it was impossible he could ask the Court to send for trial. He could not bring his mind to believe from the facts laid before him, that this young nobleman, a member of an illustrious family, was guilty of the offence charged against him, and on that ground he had advised that the prosecution should be withdrawn. The conduct of the defendant had, no doubt, been indiacrect, but he was bound to say there was no evidence or guilty intention in what had been done, and under all the circumstances, his el:mita had sanctioned his state ment that they proposed to withdraw from the pro secution. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine was not surprised at the course his learned friend had taken in this matter, and it would not be impertinent to mention that Lord Milton had been in ill health, and that on the occasion in question he acted on the belief of justi fication, well or ill founded, but which, as a man of the world, he (Mr. Ballantine) was bound to say could not be defended, as there was no doubt Lord Milton had been much mistaken in the course he had adopted, acting, indeed, as he had done, under the influence of a female much older than himself. He had no difficulty in admitting that his lordship had acted with indiscretion, and also that his learned friend had adopted the course best calculated to spare the feelings of those who were deeply interested in the matter. The first question, when instructed in this case, which he had put was, what was the state of his lordship's account at the London and West minster Bank, and he was informed that his lord ship had a large credit at the bank, and that the manager was in court to prove the fact. The im putation of fraud was, therefore, completely at an end. He considered that the parties preferring the charge had acted in a very proper manner in with drawing from the prosecution; and in reference to what had been previously stated in defence by Mr. Lewis, he would remark that Mr, Lewis had been very imperfectly and hastily instructed. Mr. Lewis remarked that he had only obeyed instructions in the course ho had adopted. Mr. Knox—The case of alleged fraud against Madame Rachel was opened on the former exami nation, but had not been proved. With respect to the charge before me, I can assure you, Lord Mil ton, if I had come to the conclusion that your lord ship had any guilty intention with reference to the possession of the earrings I should have sent you at once for trial; but my belief is there was no guilty intention. You are young and inexperienced, and evidently require good guidance, and I wish to re mind you, that considering your station you are pre-eminently bound to obey the law, as your station will not Protect you from the consequences of violating the law. The earrings will, of course, be given up to the pawnbroker. The act was the act of a foolish person, and therefore you, Lord Milton, are discharged. Lord Milton then left the court with his friends. HORRIBLE AZURRER BY A TATHER. A horrible murder has been committed at Bris tol, the perpetrator being a married man, of about 25 years of age, named James Roberts, and the victim his own daughter, Clara Roberts. What adds to the enormity of the crime is, that Roberts attempted the life of another child, a girl of about five years old, Alice Elizabeth, who lies in the Infirmary in a very precarious state, and also of his wife. Roberts was formerly a soldier in the Welsh Fusiliers, but served only for little more than a year, as, whilst engaged in one of the battles during the Crimean war he had the misfortune to lose one of his legs. lie returned home on a pen sion of 10d. a day, and about Christmas, 1856, he got married to his present wife, by whom he has had three children,one of whom died in its infancy. For a time he supported his family comfortably by means of his pension, and his earnings with a horse and cart, but about a year and a half ago he took to drinking, and, in order to indulge in his intempe rate habits, he sold his horse and cart, and after wards (taking advantage of his wife's absence in the Infirmary), his furniture also. In consequence of his habits, his wife has been herself compelled to go to work to support herself and children, he squandering what he could get in th ink. On Wed nesday night the wife put the children to bed as usual, and she and her husband went to the house of her sister, where they remained till near ten o'clock, when they went home, he being at the time quite sober. After they were in the rooms he asked what there was for supper, and on finding only dry bread and a bit of herring, she said it was very hard that she should have to live on that, after 9s. of her money had gone in the housekeeping that week. She also interrogated him as to what had become of a new basket he had bought to take out as a hawker of oysters. The husband said it was no difference to her about the basket, and said the money had been of no benefit to him as it had gone to pay debts. The wife again complained about eating dry bread, upon which he gave her a penny to go and buy something. She said she would keep that to get some butter for the children's breakfast, and was again complaining, when he got up in a deliberate manner, and saying, " I will - soon get out of it," took up the poker and began to beat his sleeping children with it in the most violent and merciless manner. He then turned round, saying, " I have done for they, now for your turn, raised the poker to strike her, but she avoided the blow, rushed in upon and seized him, and a violent struggle ensued between them, in the course of which she wrested the poker from his grasp, and it fell on the floor. She then screamed " Murder," and seeing her children bathed in blood, snatched them up and ran into the street, followed by her husband. Her shrieks and cries of " Murder" brought her sister and others to her aid, upon which he made off. .The children were carried to the police station, and thence to the Infirmary, where it was found that their skulls were fractured, and that they had received other injuries of so severe a character that their recovery . was in the highest degree doubtful, and one, the girl, soon after died. The prisoner was taken at the residence of his father and mother, Baptist Mills. He made no resistance, but said, " It's all owing to drink and bad temper." When on his way to the station-house he said, "I struck the children on the head with the poker, and one of them is dead at the station and the other is took to the Infirmary." Yesterday (Friday) afternoon the city coroner, J. B. C.:,,don, Esq., hold an inquest on tho body at the Infirmary, and the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against James Roberts, the father, who was forthwith committed to take his trial on the coroner's warrant. LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT ON THE 'LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY . SEVERAL PERSONS KILLED AND INJURED. FAVERSHAM, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. A very lamentable accident, unfortunately at tended with the loss of two lives, and serious bodily injuries to several other persons, occurred this morn ing to the 7.10 down train, at a spot situated about a mile from Faversham, on the London, Chatham, and Dover Company's line. From inquiries made upon the spot, and from in formation afforded by the officials of the London, Chatham, and Dover Company, it appears that the regular morning mail train left the Victoria station at its appointed time-7.lo—and that it consisted of an engine and tender. There were attached two second-class carriages, followed by two first.class carriages, and terminating with a break van. The train, which was in charge of two guards and an experienced driver and fireman, pro ceeded safely on its course, and arrived at and de. parted from Sittingbourne station at the exact times, leaving the station for its downward progress to Dover at 8.26, which was correct time, and having no other stoppage to make until its arrival at Fa versham junction at 9.10. The train then went on its journey until it reached a spot situated about half a mile from the Preston junction, which por tion of the line is °lran embankment known as the Ospringeplaee-bank, and is a little over 12 feet high with a very mild curve and level. On reaching this spot, the train travelling at a moderate speed, the engine-driver felt a slight bumping movement, and in less then a second, on turning round, he saw that the back portion of the train was being hurled down the embankment. The first second-class carriage next to the engine and tender, and the engine and tender themselves, kept the metals, but the whole of the remainder of the train had become detached, and, leaving the permanent way, went over the em• bankment with great violence, coming in contect with a massive garden wall at the bottom, and crush ing it. The driver and fireman immediately returned to the spot, and on descending the embankment found they were altogether broken up and smashed into small fragments. Of course their first efforts were directed towards the unfortunate persons who had occupied the various carriages, and messengers = were despatched for medical and other assistance from Faversham and adjacent districts. Telegrams were also sent to Canterbury and the chief offices in London, and upon the arrival of the first assistance every effort was made to remove the injured per sons from the broken carriages. It was then found that several of the unfortunate passengers were se verely injured, and the first one to be removed was quite dead. This was a gentleman upon whom was found a letter from which it is believed his name is Plumb, and that he was a commercial traveller. He was a passenger in the first second-class carriage, which was the first to go over the embankment; his injuries were very severe, and there is no doubt that his death must have been instantaneous. The next person found was Mr. H. Crockford, a merchant at Chatham, at which station he joined the train. He was insensible, and very much injured, and it was feared that it would be found necessary to ampu tate the left leg, which was much shattered. A gentleman was next found in the first of the two first-class carriages; be was also insensible, and his injuries were chiefly confined to the head and face. From a letter discovered upon him there is no doubt that he is a Mr. H. Thompson, that he is a barrister, and was going to see a sick son at Dover. The next person found was William Harris, an in spector on the company's line. Ho was riding in hurt. a second-class car riage , and was very m uch He was about t o b e remove d t o an adjoining inn, but expired from the severe nature of the injuries he had received almost immediately. Only one other person appears to have met with any injury, and that is Mr. D. Mapleston, the audit clerk of the company. He was found in the debris of the first first-class carriage, and removed i n a state of insen sibility, from which, however, he recovered, and rallied to such an ex tent as to enabl e t h e medical gentlemen to report that he was much i mproved. The two guards in the break-van received very little, if any injury, although th at veh i cle was . thrown over the embanment. The various sufferers Were removed to the adja cent house in Ospringe, under the supervision of Mr. Garroway, Mr. Garrard, and other medical gentlemen, from Faverham and the surrounding districts; and the remains of Mr. Plumb and In specter Harris were conveyed to the Crown Inn, where they were placed in an out-house until the inquest should be held. In the meantime telegrams were received at the Victoria Station in London and at the company's SOUTHWARK.—Yesterday John Smith, alias William Fossey, describing himself as a builder and house agent, was charged on remand with stealing £2 17s. 9d., the property of William Groomridge, Brandford-terrace, Bermondsey. Mrs. Mary Groomridge said that on Thursday evening, the Ist inst., the prisoner came to her hus band's house and hired her parlours. He stated that ho was a builder and house agent, and had considerable property erecting in Bermondsey and Rotherhithe. Believing his statement to be true, she let him the parlours, and on the following morn ing, about 9 o'clock, he came and took possession, with a young man whom he called his clerk. At 12 o'clock the prisoner asked her if sho could cash a check for him, and on her replying in the negative he asked her to lend him 12s. for a short time. She did so, and about two hours afterwards he asked for the loan of a hammer, which she got. The prisoner put a lot of written bills in the window, and about 3 o'clock he asked her if she would prepare tea for himself and his clerk. She consented, and, having no tea in the house, she went out to get it. On return she made them tea, and provided bread and butter and a haddock, which the prisoner heartily partook of. After that he sent the young man out and left himself, saying he was going to look after some men at Rotherhithe. After he was gone she had occasion to go into her bedroom. She then found that her drawers had been broken open, and £2 17s. 9d.stolen from them. Her own hammer had been used to break open the drawers. The prisoner had also stolen her husband's new Wellington boots from the bedroom, and had left a dirty pair instead. Witness here, shaking her fist at the prisoner, said, " Oh, ho is the greatest vaga bond living." Francis M'Dermott, a very respectable young man, said he was out of a situation, and at the end of April he advertised for one. The prisoner an swered it, stating in his letter that he was a builder and house agent, and requesting him to call at his office on Friday last. He accordingly went to the house of the last witness and saw the prisoner, who engaged him at a Weekly salary, ! and set him to write some handbills. After they • had had tea the prisoner sent him on an errand. On his way back he met the prosecutrix, who gave ' him into custody for being concerned with the pri soner in stealing the £2 17s, 9d. Several gentlemen came forward, and gave the last witness an excellent character. John Wookey, police-constable 311 K, said tbat ation at Ca nterbury, and Mr. Forbes, the general manager, at once proceeded by special train to the spot, and amongst the other officials on the ground were Mr. Willis, the engineer, from Canterbury; Mr. Breeze, from Faversham; and Mr. Bishop, the superintendent. Every effort which human possibility could suggest was resorted to to alleviate the sufferings of the wounded per sons , an d t o c l ea r the line of the debris, and pace it in a proper state of trficlencY to enable the traffic to be resumed. This having been done, an official communication was at once made by the general manager of the• company' o the railway department of the Board of Trade, to enable that department to send a gentle man to inspect the line, and give his opinion to the coroner's jury, by whom the cause of this lamentable: catastrophe will have to be investigated. In the meantime the circumstances surrounding the case are of so peculiar a nature that it is impossible to arrive at any conclusion as to the origin of the accident. IIIE ARMY. The 29th Regiment (Lieut.-Col. E. H. Westropp), at present at Aldershott, are under orders to re lieve the 76th Regiment at Glasgow. The Ist battalion sth Regiment is under orders to move from Portsmouth, and the 37th Regiment from Plymouth, both for Aldershott, on the arrival of the Ist battalion 6th and the 75th Regiment from India. The 13th Hussars, which are ordered to proceed to Aldershott from Manchester, by detachments, will, on arrival, be quartered in E. and F Lines, North Camp, and be attached to the cavalry bri gade. The head-quarters will arrive on the 24th inst. The Lady Jocelyn screw steamer, of 2,240 tons, Capt. Kerr, arrived off Falmouth from Calcutta, with troops, on 'Thursday, and awaited orders from the India-office as to place of landing. She had a very long passage, and has been outstripped. in speed by sailing transports. She left Calcutta on the 11th of January, reached Madres on the 18th of January, the Cape on the 4th of March, St. Helena on the 16th of March, St. Michael's on the 28th of April, and arrived off Falmouth on the Bth curt. She brings troops, consisting of 242 officers and men, and a large number of other passengers. The officers in command were Capt. Wellington, 77th Regiment; Capt. Knight, 23d Regiment; Lieut. James, 13th Regiment; Lieut. Dunbar, 34th Regi ment; and Dr. Smith, in medical charge. Among the other passengers were :—Major and Mrs. Tal bot, Capt. Grasme, Major Johnston, Capt. Tulloch, Major-Gen. Sir R. Birch, Capt. Keane, Capt. Fitz roy, Col. and Mrs. Baker and three children, Col and Mrs. Boilleau and two children, and Major and Mrs. Fowler. The left wing of the 96th Regiment disembarked at Portsmouth yesterday morning from the steam transport Adriatic, and left by South Coast Rail way at 9 a.m. for Shorncliffe, The military con victs were also disembarked, and sent on to their destination. The invalids were conveyed to the military hospital at Portsea. The Adriatic will have cleared the and stores, and be paid u service, it is expected, out of out her Government fitting srnmen t to-day. The ship attracted a good deal of attention yesterday at Portsmouth among the naval officers in the port, not only from the fact of her having been specially constructed in America to contest the pas sage of the Atlantic with the Cunard steamers, but also from the unusual extent of her accommodation and the massive character of her machinery, as her cylinders have a diameter of 1013 inches, With a 12 feet stroke of piston, THE INQUEST ON THE BODIES. This afternoon Mr. T. T. Delasaux, the coroner for the Eastern division of Kent, and a jury of the inhabitants of the district, assembled at the Crown Inn,Ospringe-place-bank, to inquire into the deaths of a gentleman, supposed to be name...! Plumb, and William Harris, an inspector on the line, who lost their lives in the accident to the 7.10 down train in the morning. Mr. Johnson attended on behalf of the London, Chatham, and Dover Company, and amongst those present were Mr. James Lake (director), Mr. For: Iles (general manager), and other officials. The jury having viewed the bodies, proceeded to inspect the spot where the accident occurred, am: on their return to the inquest-room, The Coroner said that it would be advisable to adjourn the inquiry until the government inspector• had gone over the line. Mr. Johnson said notion had been sent to the Board of Trade, and the company courted the tallest inquiry into the whole circumstances attending this melancholy occurrence. The investigation was then adjourned fora week, and in the meantime the government inspector will go over the line. A MESSAGE FROM THE OCEAN. A bottle containing the enclosed was picked up) on the farm of Mr. R. B. Hungerford, of Ballrizard, Tourmore, county Cork, on the 7th May : " Barque Basford Hall, Feb. 28, 1862.
