LO , .RD PAL2IITRS7 ON AY MELBOURNE. Great rejoicings took place yesterday at Mel bourne, Derbyshire, in consequence of the presence of Lord and Lady Palmerston among their tenantry. His lordship arrived on Wednesday from London, and stayed during the night at Melbourne Hall, en- joy ing the hospitality of Col. Gooch. His recep ti an was of the most enthusiastic description. The bolls of the parish church were rung, and triumphal arches erected along the road. Yesterday morning his lordship was presented with an address from the people of Melbourne, the ceremony taking place in an open space in front of the parish church. There was a very numerous at tendance, a l arge influx of visitors having taken place from D er by an d ne i g hb our i ng towns. Mr. ADCOCK, as chairman of a public meeting o f the inha'oitants, read the following address • . " To VIM RIGHT HON. LORD PALMERSTON, M.P., &c., &c. "• May it please your Lordship,—W e , the inhabi tr.nts of Melbourne, have again the pleasure of wel- coming your lordship and your estimable lady to this locality, and of congratulating you both upon the vigorous health which, by the blessing of the Almighty, is still vouchsafed to you. It must be a source of congratulation to all classes that a life so valuable to our Queen and the country has been spared to conduct the affairs of this great empire. The deep interest which you have always manifested in behalf of the liberty of the subject, both at home and abroad—the great consi deration which you have shown for the social ame lioration and the educational improvement of the people, and more especiallythe wise discretion which you have exercised with regard to our internal secu rity, as well as the protection of our national honc,ur, call for the warmest approbation and most gre.tefial thanks. " We congratulate your lordship upon the wisdom you and your colleagues have displayed in abstain ing from any interference in the lamentable inter- neeine war in America. That war, as your lordship well knows,has caused great distress in this country ?As well as in America; but it appears to us that any interference by her Majesty's Government would ag gravate the difficulties by which we are surrounded and cause increased irritation on both sides of the Atlantic. If the time should arrive when, on the solicitation of the contending parties, the advice of _ _ her M.ajesty's Government should be required, we have confidence that your lordship will so act as to s ecure peace on a right basis, and thus contri brkte to the benefit and happiness of the American _people, and also reinvigorate the trade and add to the wealth and social well-being of our own popu lation. The sympathetic feelings which your lordship has never failed to express for our suffering fellow beiogs in Lancashire and Cheshire, and the labour ing classes in general, have been read with satisfac tion by all portions of her Majesty's subj ects ' You have appla u d e d th e i r regu l at i on „der the most severe trials that human nature has to con tend with. Allow us, then, r espectfully to suggest that the manly fortitude and self-denying practices which they have exhibited must call to your lordship's mind the pregnant fact that a class which thus battles with misfortune,and betrays,under the most trying circumstances, great respect for the laws, is entitled to have a voice in the framing of laws intended for the common benefit, and which, if properly enacted, will unite all classes of her Majesty's subjects in the bonds of unity and good We trust your lordship will excuse our expres sions of deep regret that the advice of the Home Secretary, Sir George Grey, was not taken with regard to the Night Poaching and Game Bill, and that more time was not given for the due conside ration of so important a question. " It is our earnest hope that your lordship may be long spared to give the benefit of your wisdom and experience to our beloved Sovereign, to preside over the councils of the Government, and to pro mote with your influence all measures calculated to give stability to the throne and prosperity to the nation. " We also desire to express a hope that Lady Palmerston may long live to be an encouragement as well as solace to your lordship in your ' labour of love' for the public good, and that both of you, when it shall please Providence to call you hence, will find a still happier abode in a future state. " With many thanks for the important public services you have always rendered, and the pa- triotic interest you have taken in the welfare and honour of our common country, we beg to subscribe ourselves your lordship's obedient servants." Lord PALMERSTON, who was received with en thusiaatie cheers, said—Gentlemen, I beg, on behalf of myself and of Lady Palmerston, to return you my sincere and heartfelt thanks for the kind reception you have given us, and more especially for the ad dress which you have just read to me. I can assure you that it gives me the greatest pleasure to revisit this place which, especially to Lady Palmerston, is consecrated by the deep recollection that it is the scat of her ancestors, and a place in which she has always taken the most lively interest. (Cheers.) She regrets, and I regret, that we are not able to devote a larger portion of time to this residence, but we have engagements and occupations elsewhere which prevent us from doing so. We have great plea sure, however, in seeing the hall so well occupied as it is by the worthy gentleman and lady who are now its inmates. lam much obliged, gentlemen, for the expression of good will and approval which your address contains of the public conduct of that Government of which lam a member. I can assure you that we do entirely feel that any efforts which the Government can make in the public service, can only be carried to a successful issue so long as they are backed and supported by the feelings and spirit of the country at large. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Wb have, it is true. endeavoured in the first place to put the nation in a state of defence at home, and in the next place, in our relations with foreign powers, to maintain the honour and the dignity of the empire. (Cheers.) It would, indeed, be a great abuse of those blessings which Provi dence has so plentifully showered upon this nation, if we were lightly to deal with them, and were not b y all human means to endeavour to protect and to maintain those great advantages which Providence has bestowed upon this nation. (Hear, hear.) It on the part o f t h e G overnmen t, is therefore a dut y it is a duty on the part of the peopl e of this nation, to place themselves in B_llol a po s i t i on of i nternal defence, that whil e on the one hand i t threatens nobody, on the other hand it tells all peopl e th e y cannot with impunity threaten us. ( Loud cheers.) As has been observed in that address, we h ave , we hope, in our intercourse with foreign nations main tained properly the dignity, t h e honour, and the lat e l y , h ad a rights of the country. (Cheers.) e question with the United States of A me rica which threatened in its outset to bring on even ts which we should have deeply deplored ; but that question was settled in a manner consistent with the honour, and the principles, and the dignity of both parties; be cause while on the one hand the American Govern ment granted that satisfaction which we demanded, on the other hand they could not have refused that satisfaction without, departing from the prin ciples of international law, which they themselves had always maintained and considered essential to, their own interests as a nation. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) There was, therefore, no triumph on either bide. The only triumph was the ti :amp!: of truth and justice, which each party was equally inte rested in maintaining. Gentlemen, we must all regret the ealamity which that unhappy war has produced, not only in the country in which it rages, bat in many countries of Europe which are depen dent upon America for the materials of their do mestic industry. (Hear.) In this country we know that a large portion of our population are suffering great privati ons i n consequence o f t h a t war . I am , u eprised that in a place where industry flourishes ou should have a fellow-feeling with those nnfor tunate people nf Lancashire who are suffering g reatly v under the p r i vat i on of the article wh i ch i s essential to aleirindustry. We trust and hope that the law which P arli ament passed i mme di a t e ly b e f ore the prorogation may materially tend to mitigate and alleviate their sufferings, W e - know also that those persons who have profited greatly by the in dustry of the population are contributing according to their means, generously in support of these suf fering people. (Hear, hear.) We only trust and hope that those liberal subscriptions m be ap plied not merely to relieve the wan t s of the parents, but that they may be applied use f u ll y n d w i se l y to enable the children of th ose parent to cont i nue to enjoy t hose advanta ges o f educati,o which are as i m portant to the mind as employment is to the body- We know th a t w h en parents are re d uce d t o gr eat distress, they may be unable to afford those weekly payments upon which the edacation of their children depends. We trust that those who have the direction of these ample subscriptions will bear that in mind as well as the wants of the parents themselves. (Hear.) Well, gentlemen, I can only say we are deeply sensible of the kind feeling and friendly disposition which your address implies, and that it will always afford to Lady Pal merston and myself great pleasure to find ourselves able to revisit this place, which is to her mind, I can assure you, associated with every feeling which can render it dear to the human heart. I beg to return you my best thanks for the honour you have done me. (Cheers.) Three cheers were then proposed for Lord and Lady Palmerston, and cordially responded to. His lordship then proceeded to the parish church, where an eloquent sermon was preached on behalf of the fund for the restoration of the church, by Dr. APNeile. In the afternoon Lord Palmerston presided at a public luncheon, which was given in a large mar quee erected in the grounds of Melbourne Hall. There were present about 400 ladies and gentle men, among whom were, besides the noble Viscount and Lady Palmerston, the Rev. Lord E. Chichester, and the Hon. Miss Chichester, the Hon. A. H. Vernon, Sir H. Wilmot, Bart., Sir G. Beaumont, Bart., Lady Beaumont, Mr. Mundy, ALP., I,ady Wilmot of Osmaston Hall, Lieut.-Col. Gooch and Mrs. Gooch, the Rev. Dr. M'Neile, Mr. W. T. Cox, Mr. Sneyd, Miss Cuyler, the Rev. F. Gooch, Mrs- Holden, the Rev. F. W. Whitaker, Rural D 0033, Major Wilmot, V.C., and Mrs. Wilmot, the ayor n Hood Vicar of of Nottingham, the Rev. J. Deane, the Melbourne, the Rev. Gervase Vasse, the curate, Dr. Hitchman, Mr. F. Fox, Mr. G. H. Bond, of Not .e Robin Not tingham, Mr. King, Mr. John J. Briggs, Sc c. The band of the Nottin gharashfr Volunteer Corps was statione d outside the tent, on the margin of the lake, an d played a success i on of popular airs, After grace had been said, The Noble CHAIRmAN) who, on rising, was re ceived with enthusiastic cheers, said—Ladies and beg to pr o p ose t h at toast wh i c h i s alwaysfirk: I first at any assembly of British subjects, which e xpresses a wish that is deepest in the heart of every subject of her Majesty, and which is first on their lips when the proper opportunity presents itself—l mean " The Health of the Queen." (Loud cheers.) We, and all her subjects, have deeply sympathised with her in the heavy affliction that has befallen her; but, however she may have been bowed down mentally with grief, she has never for a moment forgotten her duties to her subjects, and their welfare and interest have ever been foremost in her mind. (Loud cheers.) The toast was drunk with great applause, and was followed by " God save the Queen," played by the band. His LORDSHIP again rose and said—ln connec tion with the toast which you have just drunk, allow me to propose " The health of his Roya Highness the Prince of Wales, and the other mem bers of the Royal family." (Cheers.) The charac ter of the Prince who is one day—long may it be delayed—to succeed to the throne is an object of deep interest to every body in the realm, and it is gratifying to know that whatever the Prince of Wales has been, whether at home, in the West or in the East—in America, in Africa, in Asia or in Europe—he has invariably produced the most favourable impression on everybody with whom he has come in contact. (Cheers.) The toast having been warmly responded to, The CHAIRMAN said—l now beg to propose to you three services that deserve richly the thanks and gratitude of their country, " The Army, the Navy, and the Volunteers." (Cheers.) It is need • less to say that the army and navy never were in a more efficient state than they are at the present mo ment. (Cheers.) The officers combine with military knowledge a greater cultivation of the mind than perhaps at any former period of our history—l say that of the officers both of the army and navy. (Hear.) The two services have not at present any great sphere of action in which to emulate the glories of those who have gone before them, but if such opportunities were to offer, and I trust, though perhaps the officers and men of the services may not concur with me in the wish, they may be long delayed. (Cheers.) We are persuaded that those who now bear arms in the service of their Queen and their country would rival, and, if it were possible, surpass the deeds of those who have gone before them in their respec tive services. (Cheers.) As to the volunteers, you have just had an experience of their capacity to excel in the arts of peace in the cultivation of har mony. (Laughter.) Depend upon it that if the occasion were to arise, they would prove equal to the army in the defence of their country. The mere fact of their existence as a body, experienced, drilled, and disciplined as they are, and to whose military efficiency those most competent to judge have borne the highest testimony, is an armour of defence than which no country has better, and which I trust we may long continue to possess. Col. GOOCH i❑ returning thanks for the army said it was most gratifying to hear from the noble president that that branch of the service was never in a more efficient state than at the present moment. But to whom was the efficient state of the defences of the country generally owing ? (Hear, hear.) If to one man more than another, it was to the noble lord who now honoured them with his pre sence. (Cheers.) He thought there never was a more gratifying and glorious mark of the patriotism of this country than that outburst which placed 140,000 men, every one of whom was a regularly drilled and disciplined soldier, at the disposalof the Government, in addition to the other defences of the country. (Cheers.) Sir HY. WILMOT replied for the navy, and Major WILMOT on the part of the volunteers. The next toast was " The Bishop of Lichfield, and the Clergy of the Diocese," to which the Rev. W. Whitaker, rural dean, responded. The Rev. Canon M'NEILE said he came at the request of a brother clergyman to preach the ser mon in the church that morning, and having done so he imagined that his mission to Melbourne was completed, but he had been commanded by Colonel Gooch to propose a toast, and he felt bound to obey superior orders. The rev. gentleman then, in a few eloquent words, proposed " The Health of Lord Palmerston." The toast was drunk amidst loud cheering. Tho CHAIRMAN, on rising to respond, was re ceived With great cheering. The noble lord said— Ladie s a nd gentlemen, my reverend friend stated that h e bWadellt,htehkeitannadned to give you an agreeable surprise. dui,: toin which that toast which he has been received, if it could gptrhopose in terms which I feel were more flaiteri n the individual deserved —(cries " n o n_ the manner in which that a most agre ea b le I have experienced upon every have been a sur prise, The kindness One, though I am bound surprise to me departur e freta that agree able Melbourne, to toast a confess hassfve was 8 s that it was certain', . in the town o a ccasion si o ngoodwillup upon n which wh ich this place would I have visited indeed make a contrary reception a surp r i se, inas much as it would be a able course to me which I have hithert o f oluid Alelbourne pur sued by my good friends at • - My reverend friend, with that eloquence Which dis _ tinguishes him, and of which we heard so great and brilliant an example this morning in that cause in which all your hearts, I am sure, are en g aged — my reverend friend has adverted to the course which I, together with my colleagues, have taken in r e g ard to the general defences of the country. Well, gentle men, we have felt that in providing duly in a time of peace, not indeed those ample means which would be requisite in war, but those moderate means which, being provided in peace, are a security i against war, we were simply discharging a duty I which we owed to the Country. (Cheers.) My rev. THE ,SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY OVEIING, AUGUST 29, 1862. friend has adverted to our conduct in providing those means, and he has truly said that in the measures which we felt it our duty to adopt we were only giving effect to the steady and sturdy determina tion of the people of this realm, and if we had not done so we should have been justly reproached with neglecting the greatest duty imposed upon those who are charged responsibly with the conduct of affairs. We should not only have been negligent Ministers, but I will say that we should have been traitors to our country. (Cheers.) Well, gentle men, we duly feel the importance of lessening, as far as may be consistent with the great interests of the country, the burdens which necessarily fall upon the people of these realms, but we know that if by neglect, or by not taking due precautions, this country, rich—as my reverend friend has stated—in wealth of every kind, were to tempt a more powerful antagonist, the expense of even the first month of war would infinitely outweigh all the expenditure which is necessary to place ourselves in a state of security against attack. (Loud cheers.) Therefore, it is true economy to provide due means of defence for the country, and nothing can be more wasteful of the public interest than neglecting, in a time of peace, when you can do it quietly, gradually, and k e t a an your advisedly, with due temper and circum s p ection, to adapt your means to your en I—prov idin g in a time of peace those defences, wheth er they consist of army,con sist i navy, n w works rk s and to gu ard volunteers, your d o o rwhh dockyards they d cy arsenals, which you could not organise on a sudden if war were to come up 0 tic you,can ndo so, t m w a hic h a , gobauei, a against far as u humano t any p organised duly, in a time of p eace, mare secure y arrangements a ttack.

(Loud cheers.) His LORDSHIP, in proposing the next toast, said —We are assembled on the present occasion to com memorate a most interesting event in the history of Melbourne—the restoratio❑ of that ancient strut ture in which we assembled this morning to hear Divine service. There cannot be anything that goes more directly to the hearts of mankind than the restoration and repair of those temples of Divine worship which are consecrated by every feeling of the human heart. When, by a lapse of time, they have fallen into decay, it is a most pleasing duty on the part of those who live near, and of those who are interested in the welfare and prosperity of the district, to contribute to the reparation of the edifice ; and those who have been kind enough to undertake the duty of superintending those repairs are amply entitled to be honoured by and to receive the thanks of those who are to profit by their exer tions. (Hear, hear.) We have seen to-day how well this ancient church of Melbourne has been re stored. We have seen that all the defects which either time or misguided judgment had created in that building have been removed and repaired, and it now stands forth in its original beauty, the object of admiration to all who enter within its walls. We are greatly indebted to the vicar and to the church committee, who have taken the trouble—and a great trouble it must have been—to superintend those im provements and restorations, and, therefore, I am sure that I am proposing to you that which will be most agreeable to all your feelings, when I propose to you the health of the vicar and the Church Restoration Committee. The Rev. J. DEANE briefly responded, and the health of Dr. M'Neile having been drunk and duly acknowledged, Lord PALMERSTON said—l beg to propose a toast to you, gentlemen, in which the ladies are not to take part. What I propose is, that we should drink to " The Ladies." (Loud cheers.) It is a rule of precedence that those of the highest rank should go last, and therefore, upon the prin ciple of precedence, we propose " The Ladies," as __ _ the last toast. You all know that where there is to be a work of charity or benevolence done the ladies are always the foremost to take part in it. (Cheers.) I think it in recorded by Perk, in his " Travels in Africa," that wherever he went, though a helpless stranger, and though often much ill-used by the men, whenever he was in distress, whenever he was ill, whenever he wanted assistance, he found that the hearts of the women were ❑ot so black as their faces—(laughter and cheers)—and that where ever else he might meet with ill-usage, he was always sure to experience kindness and as sistance from the women of the village in which he happened to be. (Cheers.) Now, although the ladies of England cannot compete in complexion with the ladies who relieved Mungo Park—(taugh ter)—their hearts are as warm and warmer in con sequence of the cultivation of their mind, and there fore I propose to you the health of the ladies as the first and foremost in every good work, and thanks to them for having attended this meeting to-day. (Cheers.) The company, upon the conclusion of the toasts, proceeded to the gardens of Melbourne Hall, where a fete was held, which, however, was somewhat marred by unfavourable weather. Deputations from Derby waited upon Lord Pal merston in the course of the day, inviting him to be present at a banquet to be given in his honour, and also requesting him to preside at the forthcoming County Agricultural Meeting, but the noble lord, in consequence of pressing engagements elsewhere, was compelled to decline both invitations. His lordship throughout the day appeared to be in the best of health, and entered with great spirit into the whole of the proceedings. FEMALE FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER. (Frain the Paris ElOaut.) At present there are but few novelties ; our pretty ladies are alt off to the watering-places, or on their travels ; boxes and packing-cases are sent after them all over Europe. The most fashionable dresses are those of white muslin; they are certainly very pretty and extremely becoming. But when I say white, I do not mean the fine Indian cotton stuffs, which darken the very fairest cream-like complexions ; but, rather clear muslin, or organdi, or tulle, or tarlatane. They are trimmed in a thousand ways. Some are richly embroidered, others adorned with black and white guipure, as I have already told you. One pretty fancy, a revival of thirty years past, are the organdis embroidered with coloured wool. Sometimes there is but a single shade, sometimes two blue tints, or rose de mauve, &c. They are embroidered with extreme nicety, and they produce a charming morning dress for company. Mauve shaded with violet is, in my opinion, the most elegant. Six small notched flounces (volants den teles) with a slight trail over the notch, a round corsage, a ribbon matching the embroidery worn as a girdle, having a large blw and long falls, or else a scarf embroidered in the same manner. A trimming or an embroidery round the bosom, wide sleeves, half a pagoda, terminating with four rows of small flounces, likewise tuyautes. Robes for balls and evening parties are made up as in the middle of winter ; the gloss is so bright you cannot conceive anything more radiant. Their style and elegance still keep increasing. Those tulle and crape toilets are so very light as to make one leap whilst looking at them. They generally bullion these delicate stuffs; they are no longer studded with flowers and bows; they are fastened or raised up instead, which is not so heavy to look at. I will now speak of bonnet 3, and describe several of them. One of these is of blue Louisa crape, and at first you would set it down as vulgar and ex cessively common. But no; it does not display that universal tuft of corn •flowPrs VO much in favour with our cooks and kxout,emaids ; it is a set off with a salmon rose. li.,ese roses are encircled with leaves of a wood ; they aro a natural f o lia ge , composed o f Plants %mid in the fields likewise, and the graceful curvenrsd t , far above f'sv e,, h a ich is closed with li g h t c l us t ers; no imitation surpass it. The effect is delightful, a all compariso n . Another made of gr e y cra p e ; lik e th e ver nal rnaes ; th e leaves are of the Fame tint fiat, it is grooved,bonnet is ~r eouliese. I t i s a d orne d w i t h Fresh as the crape; it is soft, elegant, and wonderfully pretty. The straw bonnets are absolute gems. You de corate them with a velvet, a ribbon, and a bunch of field flowers ; the style of them is very light and pretty. Grace and elegance do not depend on riches ; taste alone is sufficient to convert the merest trifle into an ornament. Muslin burnous still prevail ; they wait for fine weather, and it is a pity to leave them in the band box. But what is to be done ? There is no laying by our winter clothes yet. One last word on bonnets and hats. I have often alluded to travelling hats, and told you that the taste is returning a little to those I so much re gretted—the Mademoiselle hat, with its turned-up edges pointing downwards both behind and before. These are very elegant and becoming; no others can be compared to them. The Marchioness de V--- wears one of these made of Italian straw, adorned with a pheasant's plume se t on th e edge and f a lli ng behind. This plume is entwined with a pretty little coronet of Toucan feathers of the richest red. I ought rather to call it a circle than a coronet, for the plumes surround the stock, and serve to support it. A bow of red velvet, edged with black lace, falls over behind. And now for a great piece of neva, fair English ladies ! Do you know that you are going to use sticks P Yes, sticks, like our grandmothers and great-grandmothers. They are being brought back into fashion; and it is our ladies of high society and the best breeding who have taken the initiative in this extraordinary move. Even so ! notice to quit, saying that he was going into - the country to better his condition. That was on the morning of the 161 h. He said his wife would come for the furniture on the Wednesday or Thursday of the following week. They went away together in a cab at about half-past 8. On Wednesday, the 20th, I saw the female prisoner at my house, and in reply to my questions she stated that she had had a letter that morning from Mr. Vincent—that he was at Liverpool, and intended to stay there six weeks. next saw the prisoners in custody. Clark said that on searching the male prisoner at Rugby he found a letter bearing the London post mark, of Aug. 20. It was signed Louisa," and said " My dear Tom, your letter has just been re ceived." It was written by a female, and the writer said she could not then come down, as she was un well. The prisoners said they should reserve their de fence. Mr. Barker fully committed the prisoners to Newgate for trial. Application was made to admit the female to bail, but it was refused. THAMES.—THE ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE AT Bow.—Mr. Thomas Ricketts, a coal merchant, aged 48, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with feloniously cutting and wounding Ellen Ricketts, his wife, on the 28rh July last, with intent to murder her, and also attempting to corn , mit suicide on the same day, and at the same place. Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner. Mr. and Mrs. Ricketts are connected with many respectable families in the Tower Hamlets, and the most lively interest was manifested in their behalf by the people in the court, which was crowded to excess. Mr. Sleigh said the prisoner was very ill and weak, and requested he might be accommodated with a seat in the dock. M Selfe—Certain Iv. Give Mr. Ricketts a chair. The first witness caned was Mrs. Ellen Ricketts, a ladylike woman, who was very deeply affected, and gave evidence in a low tone and under excited feelings. She stated that on the night of the 28th of July, at a few minutes past 10 o'clock, she was at supper with her husband. Mrs. Chapman, a lady residing in the same house, was present at the commencement of the supper. Mr. Ricketts found fault with a piece of bread on the table, and said it was not a fit piece of bread to give him. She re plied, "I did not give it to you. It is on the table by accident, and I will give you another piece." After Mrs. Chapman left the room her husband took a clasp knife )ut of his pocket. She could not say whether it was then opened or closed He wa. in a very excited state, and she was afraid be would do harn:i to himself. She laid her hand on the col and sleeve of his coat and said to him, Put it out of your hand." He would not, and she struggled with him, and in that struggle received a wound. She was endeavouring to extricate the knife from his grasp when she was wounded. The wound was on the left side of the neck. There was only one wound. She was standing up at the time it was inflicted. It bled a good deal, and when she found the blood come she left the room. In answer to questions by Mr. Selfe, the witness said she believed her husband did not intend to hurt her. Dr. Gill, his medical attendant, ordered her to provide a proper attendant or keeper for her husband several days before the occurrence hap pened, but she thought she could manage him herself, as she knew he never intended to hurt her. Her husband had been drinking a little the day she was wounded. In cross-examination by Mr. Sleigh, the witness said her husband had an attack of delirium tremens, and acted in a very rash and incoherent manner for several days. He walked about the house nearly naked, and flung many things from the windows. She knew that the prisoner inflicted severe injuries upon himself, but it was quite an accident that she was hurt. Mr. Selfe—Did you see him inflict a wound upon himself ? Witness—No, I did not. Mr. Sleigh—He did wound himself very severely indeed, and was not in a fit state to be brought before you until now. Mr. Thomas Ladbrook, the landlord of the Mor gan Arms, Coborn-road, said my house is opposite to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Ricketts. They are very respectable people, and I have known them eight or nine years. I am a most reluctant witness. On the night of the 28th of July, about 10 o'clock, I heard cries of " Help, help !" I went across the road to my neighbour's house, and I saw Mrs. Chap man and her sister. They wished me to go into the house, and said Mr. and Mrs. Ricketts were quarrelling. I went in and saw them struggling together in the breakfast parlour. At that time Mrs. Ricketts was wounded, and I saw the blood coming from her neck. I took a knife from Mr. B. cketts and then left him alone. In answer to questions by Mr. Sleigh, the wit ❑ess said Mr. Ricketts was not master of his actions. He went into the house to protect Mrs. Ricketts. The prisoner was greatly excited, and did not know what he was about or what he did. Mrs. Ricketts was also in an excited state. Mrs. Emma Chapman, wife of George Chapman, said—l reside in Mr. Ricketts' house in the Coborn road, Bow. I was at supper on the 28th of July. Mr. Ricketts came in very much excited. He was a in state of excitement all day. He found much fault with the bread, and used an expression which I will not repeat I then left the room and went upstairs. That, was ill I heard. Henry Barnett, a police-constable, 279 K, stated that he was called to No. 24, Coborn-road, on the night of the 28th of July. A great number of per sons were assembled about the house, and Mrs. tticketts, who was wounded, was then being taken into the next dwelling. She said her husband had stabbed her. He went into the house, and called for Mr. Ricketts, who answered from the kitchen "I am down here." He went downstairs and found Mr. Ricketts there with his throat cut in a fright ful manner, and a bloody razor in his hand. He took the razor from the prisoner and sent for Dr. Gill. The prisoner had ever since been under me dical care at his own house. He asked Mr. Ricketts how he came to do such a thing, and he said " It's all owing to my wife." Mr. Selfe—Was he conscious ? Witness—l judge he had been drinking. Mr. Samuel L. Gill, physician and surgeon, of Bow, said—l was sent for on the night of the 28th of July to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Ricketts, and found the prisoner on the floor, with a very large wound on his neck. He was very incoherent, and in so faint a condition from loss of blood that I would not allow him to talk. I examined the wound. He was not then bleeding to a very great extent, for the wound had been sponged. My at tention was next directed to Mrs. Ricketts. She was not losing much blood. Mr. Ricketts' wound extended pretty well from one ear to the other. It was a semicircular cut seven inches in length or more, and carried back to the base of the tongue. It fortunately . missed the carotid artery on both sides. I was in attendance on Mr. Ricketts before this sad event, and strongly recommended Mrs Ricketts to have a keeper to look after her husband. He was labouring under delirium tr •mens, and was not master of his own actions, and I feared he would commit suicide. I had been in attendance on Mr. Ricketts 14 or 15 years, and had no doubt whatever that it was delirium tremens under which he was labouring. I had a conversation with Mr. Ricketts two or three days after he wounded himself, and he said be should be more happy in his mind if he could see his wife. I said you cannot see her, and he asked the reason why. I told him he had wounded his wife also, and that she was very bad. He had been lying in a prostrate ccndition until that moment, and he suddenly raised himself. and said, " Good God ! I had not the slightest idea of anything of the kind." Mr. Selfe—Was that genuine? Mr. Gill—l have no doubt it was. He had not the least notion of having wounded his wife till I told him. He had previously said, " Let her come and see, she will not be afraid to look at the wound." When T told him Mrs. Ricketts was wounded he expressed the deepest regret, and said, "I hope she will forgive me before I die ; she must be aware I had lost my senses." Mr. Selfe—Does that observation apply to him self? Mr. Gill—Yes. I asked him a question. He said he remembered blood flowing very freely from his neck, but he did not know how it. occurred. Mr Selfe—Y on have heard th e p o li ce cons t a bl e ' s evidence? Mr. Gill—l have, sir. Mr. Ri c k etts st ill requ i res to be under m edical care. H e is suffering from loss of blood and exhaustion. In answer to Mr. Skigh, the doctor said—The wound on Mrs. Ricketts' neck is a superficial one on the left side. I believe it was caused by acci ient. The knife sliced off. It was not a direct stab. I believe it might have been caused by her suddenly snatching her arm away as she has de scribed. I may mention one thing. I told Mrs. Ricketts not to sleep in that house again without protection a few days before this happened, and I Lectured her severely only the day before this did occur for not acting on my Mr. Selfe--w instructions. M gain ? hat security have we that this will no t occur a Mr. Sleigh said that besides the tender care and attention of an attached wife, a keeper had been in attendance on Mr. Ricketts since he wounded him self, and that he was under strict surveillance. Nothing had been left undone by the brothers and other relatives of the unfortunate gentleman to 1 prevent a recurrence of the unhappy affair, and it was the earnest wish of the family and con nexions of Mr. Ricketts. and of Mrs. Ricketts herself, that he should not be sent to prison or de tained in custody for a moment. All that was neces sary had been done for the future welfare of the pri soner. For the last three years he had been uncontrol able, carrying razors about, flourishing them, throw ing crockery and other things from his windows, and acting in a most eccentric manner. Mrs. Ricketts was somewhat to blame because she had not acted on the judicious advice of so eminent a member of , who knew her husband's the faculty as Dr. Gill failings, and warned her. Mr. Selte—Dr. Gill has acted with the greatest caution, care, and skill. Mr. Sleigh—l quit e a g ree with you, sir. The wound inflicted on Mrs. Ricketts was quite acci dental, and under the circumstances I feel assured you will discharge Mr. Ricketts, and his wife, his brothers, and many others will take care that he does not commit violence again. Mr. Selfe—W hat you say as regards the wife is , perfectly true. The charge would fail if I committed him for trial for wounding uis wife. It was no doubt an accident. As regards the ether cha rge , the only object in sending him for trial would be his security. Under the circumstances. and in the full belief that he is in good hands, that measures hive been taken for his security, and that he deeply regrets what he ha:, done, I shall discharge him. The decision gave much satisfaction to the ti ume rous friends and connections of Mr. Ricketts in the court. WANDSWORTH.—THE CHILD MURDER AT THE RESIDENCE OF JENNY LlND,—Susati Arter, aged 28, late kitchratnaid in the establishment of the celebrated Jenny Lind, was finally examined before Mr. DAyman on a charge of wilfully mur dering her illegitimate male child by forcing some blunt instrument down his throat, at. Argyll Lodge, Wimbledon-common, on the 14th of July last. The prisoner appeared still very ill, and was accommodated with a seat in the dock. Mr. Lewis, jun., defended her. The first witness examined was Eliza Emma Chapman, who stated that she was htiusemaid in the service of Mr. Otto Uoldschtnidt, of Argyll Lodge, Wimbledon-common. The prisoner Wes, until recently, in the same service as kitchenmaid, and slept in the same room with her, but occupied a separate bed. About four o'clock on Monday morning, the 14th of July last, she was aroused by hearing a noise in the room. She got up, and found the prisoner sitting by the window in a feinting state. Witness bithed her face, and when she recovered she assisted her to her bed. Witness returned to her own bed, but she had not been there long before the prisoner again fainted. Witness bathed her face a second time, and on recovering she expressed a desire for a cup of tea, and said she would be better after having one. Witness dressed herself, and went down stairs and made some tea. She took her a cup of tea and then left her. The witness further stated that the prisoner told her that she had been taken ill, but she did not explain the nature of the illness. She never told witness she was in the family way, and she was not the least aware of it. She had certainly observed that the prisoner had looked rather stout latterly. Mr. Goldschmidt was examined at the inquest, but he was now abroad. Cross-examined—The prisoner appeared very weak. She did not appear deli rious at the time. She was ill afterwards. She was light-headed at times during her illness. Inspector Ayre, of the V division, said that on the 15th of July he went to Argyll Lodge in con sequence of information he had received, and saw Mr. Goldschmidt. He also saw the prisoner, who was in bed, and told her that he wanted to look in her boxes to see if there were any articles of baby linen. He then showed her a key he had received from Mr. Goldschmidt, and inquired if it was the key of her other box, and she answered that it was. She requested that the box might be brought for ward, and a box was accordingly brought from Mr. Goldschmidt's study. He opened the box in her presence, and found inside the dead body of a male infant, wrapped in the skirt of an old dress. He also searched that box for baby linen, but could not find any. He returned all the things, together with the dead body, into the box, locked it up and kept the key. The same evening he had the box re moved to the Park Tavern, Wandsworth, where an inquest was held on the body. A verdict of wilful murder was returned against the prisoner. On the 17th of July he conveyed the prisoner to the in firmary of Wandsworth Workhouse. She made no statement, nor did he when she charged her at the police-station, on the 16th inst. Mr. Robert Willis, surgeon, of Barnes, said that on the 14th of July he was called to Mr. Gola schmidt's, and he saw that gentleman sitting upon a box. He found in it a bundle containing the body of a full-grown male child. He was then impressed with the deep colour of the body from the collar bone upwards. It was a dark colour, and the rest of the body was very pale. He saw and examined the prisoner, and lound her state consistent with her having recently given birth to a child. He said to her, "You unhappy woman, how is it you made no prep ration for this poor little child ?" but she made no reply. He then asked her whether the child had cried, and she replied that it cried a little. He attended an inquest on .the body, and by direc tion of the coroner he made a postmortem examina tion. He found evidence of injury about the head, and particularly great mechanical violence inter nally to the throat, the parts of which were severed. His impression was that something hard, such as a jagged piece of stick, had been thrust down the hroat, and so caused the disseveratton. He tried his finger down the throat, but could not reach the disseveration of the parts. His opinion was that the child died from that violence. The chest was healthy, and the lungs fully expanded. His belief was that the child was born alive, aed had breathed freely. Mr. Lewis said the prisoner would reserve her defence. Mr. Dayman said she would be fully committed to take her trial at the September Sessions of the Central Criminal Court. Mr. Lewis said Mr. Goldschmidt would appear at the sessions. He was at present out of town. Mr. Taylor (the clerk) explained that Mr. Gold schmidt and the other witnesses were bound over by the coroner to appear at the assizes, but in con sequence of the illness of the prisoner the trial did not take place, and their bail was respited till the sessions, The prisoner, who made no attempt to speak, was then removed. LOSING ONE'S OLD FRIENDS. (From Fraser's Magazine.) There is a sad thing which we are all made to feel as we are going on. It is, that we are growing out of things which we are sorry to outgrow. The firmest conviction that we are going on to what is better cannot suppress some feeling of regret at the thought of what we are leaving behind. When I was a country parson I used to feel very sorry to see a laurel or a yew growing out of the shape in which I remembered it, and which was associated with pleasant days. There was a dull pang at the sight. I remember well a little yew I planted with my own hand. It looks like yesterday since I held its top, while a certain man filled in the earth and put the sod round its stem. For some tint( it seemed doubt ful if that yew would live and grow ; at last it was fairly establisi.ed, and began to grow vigorously the second year. For a year or two more it was a neat, shaggy little thing ; but then it began to put out tremendous shoots, and to grow out of my ac quaintance. I fen I was losing an old friend. Mans a time I had stood and looked at the little yew ; 1 knew every branch of it, and always went to look at it when I had been a few days away. No doubt it was growing better ; it was progressing with a yew's progress ; I was getting a new friend better than the old one ; and yet I sighed for the old one that was gradually leaving me. You do not like to thick that your little child must grow into some thing quite different from what it is now ; must die into the grown up man or woman ; must grow har dened to the world and cease to be as lovable as now. You would like to keep the little thing as it is— when it climbs on your knee and lays a little soft cheek against your own. Even in the big girl of seven that goes to school, you regret the wee child of three that you used to run after on the little green before your door, and in the dawn of cleverness and thought, though pleasant to see, you still feel there is something gone which you would have liked to keep. But it is an inevitable law, that you cannot have two inconsistent good things together. You cannot at once have your field green as it is in the spring, and golden as it is in autumn. You cannot at once live in the little dwelling which was longe your home, and which is surrounded by tir mories of many years, and in the more beautiful wealth ul m and cS O commodious mansion which yourn i has been able to buy.

Two persons were indicted for indecency. Mr Horry prosecuted, Mr. Sleigh appeared for one, and Mr. Ribton for the other, The facts of the case of course are unfit for publication, and upon the cross examination by the counsel for the defence, some evidence was elicited from the policeman iu the case which called forth some comment from the learned judge, but he made an order that the officer was not to be officially reported. The prisoners were acquitted. Mary Ann Taylor, 18, and Thomas Newton, 21, were indicted for stealing a purse ard the sum of 10d. from the person of Harriet Fuller. Mr. Dickie prosecuted; Mr. Raton defended Newton. The female pleaded guilty. From the evidence of St rgeant Langley and Ser geant Robinson, detectives, it apptared that they watched the prisoners from the Aiiniralty, down Parliament-street, to Cannon -row atd Bridge street, where the female prisoner got C 1094 to the prosecu trix and picked her pocket, the nale prisoner co vering her. They were taken intocustody, and the female dropped the purse, which contained a six pence and tourpence in copper can. Taylor said she had nothing to say in answe' to the charge. Newton said he knew nothing cf it ; he met the female, and, at her request, went ,o drink with her. The prisoners were found gutty, and they were proved to be known thieves. Mirell, F, proved a former conviction against the fenale prisoner. The learned Sergeant sentenced them each to three years' penal servitude. John Allen and Henry Eccleton were indicted for attempting to pick the pockt of a female whose name was unknown, at the International The case was clearly proved by the evidence of Sergeant Cole, and the prisoner, were found guilty. Evidence was then given tbit Eccleston was a ticket-of-leave convict, and sered part of his time —eight years—at Gibraltar. [he other was also known. .• The learned Sergeant said, had the ease been laid as one of actual felony, the sentence would be one of penal servitude for along term of years; as it was it was only an attenpt. The c ourt, tak ing into full consideration th(whole circumstances of the case, thought that juste would be satisfied by the prisoner Allen being sentenced to twelve, and Eccleston to eighteen moiths' hard labour. SECOND CCURT. (Before Mr. Jayne.) Havannah Dale, 37, servtnt, was indicated for stealing some linen, value £7 the property of Bar ton Coleman Lee, of 17, Derereux-court, Strand, her master. The prisoner abconded with the linen in question, and was traced to Bethnal-Green by Ackrell, F, who recovered a jortion of the property; the remainder she had dispcsed of by selling and pawning. She was found guilty, tnd sentenced to nine months' hard labour. A number of cases of ninor interest were dis posed of. The bail cases will be tarn this day (Friday). POLICE INTELLIeENCE.—Aug. 28. CLERKENWELL.—irg FORGERY AND ROB BERY OF £l,2oo.—Thos. seavan, 30, a solicitor's clerk, and Louisa Testor, 3, a fashionably-attired woman, who described hertelf as a widow, residing at 26, Remington street, Ilington, were charged before Mr. Barker, the f(rmer with forgery, and stealing the sum of £1,200 and the latter with re ceiving a portion of that stn, well knowing it to be stolen. Mr. Hope attended for the female prisoner, and Mr. Wontner, jun., for the )ther prisoner. The evidence taken on fie former occasion hav ing been read over, Geo. Clark, an officer tttached to the detective department, Scotland-yard said—ln consequence of directions I received, and tom what I heard on the morning of the 22d, I tracd the female to a coffee shop in the East-road, Cit'-road. I found her there in bed with a man. I said, "I am rather an unex pected visitor. I belong the police, and believe you have been living wit' Thos. Beavan in Theo bald's-road." She said, ‘.l. have." I said," What, money has he lately given rou ?" She said, "None." I said, " Are you sure of ttat ; I think you are mis taken." She said, " Well,he gave me £5." I said, "Did he give you no moo ?" She then asked me to remove the waiter, whc was in the room, and I did so. She then said, "I will tell you the truth; he gave me £3OO. I hay( spent part of it on my child, and paying some (ebts, as well as buying some clothes." She was atcut saying the rest is at home, when I said, " I know, I have got it." At that time I saw a key on tle, table, and she said it was the key of her box. I coked her where Beavan was, and she said, "It is ha"d that I should tell ;" and she did not. I then left ter in charge, and went to her father's, and there found a box which the key unlocked. I there fount these two letters ad , dressed to Mrs. Testor:— "Tuesday Evening.
