The ground stated for the payment of the costs was, that in the course of the evidence before the Master in Lunacy facts had been deposed to, and particularly in the examination of Lord Alfred Hervey, one of the petitioners for the inquiry, which ought to have appeared in his affi davit on such application, but which had net been so stated —particularly that, on the application to their lordships for an inquiry, Mr. Windham's complaint had been stated by the witness to be one of congenital lunacy, with out intervals of rationality, and rendering him incapable of managing his affairs, but even en dangering his life, and that it was on the ground of danger to the alleged lunatic's life that the deponent had consented to join in the proceeding for an inquiry; whereas upon the examination upon the commission the deponent had adMitted the receipt of letters from Mr. Windham which were as rational in their tenour as could have been written by any person, which letters had not been men tioned on the application for the inquiry. was addressing the C our t i n support of oufgthheCpaeirtintsiOnCloiCiir.

Mr. Prentice (examined by Mr. Macaulay) said—l reside at North Walsham, and am a surgeon. lam the medical attendant of Mrs. Weeds. Sbe is about 60 years of age, and is totally incapable of attending here. By Sir F. Slade—She is totally blind, and suffering from loss of voice, I have not been attending her professionally lately. I met her casually about a month ago. I went to see her last Tuesday with respect to this case. I went there by direction of Mr. Silcock. I have not had to attend on her professionally for the last 12 months. When I met her on the occasion I have referred to, she was ridiag in an open gig. Mr. Silcock told me this morning that he had driven her a distance of 13 miles a short time ago. Re-examined—When I saw her last Tuesday I thought she was quite unable to take a journey to London, and I think so now. By the Judge—l had not seen her for six months pre vious to meeting her on the occasion referred to. I have made more than one affidavit. The last was dated the 4th March. The Judge—The affidavit which h ad been heard before the court, in order to obtain its sanction to an examination of the witness at her own home, is most reprehensible, as it was calculated to mislead it. I shall allowthe deposition to be read, although I cannot approve of the manner in which it was obtained, THAMES. Mr. Selfe expressed deep concern on hearing the melan choly tidings of the poor.man's untimely death, and said the police and the officers of court had properly done their duty, and that the case was now out of his hands, and the circumstances would be investigated by a coroner's jury. The deceased was a powerful man, and in appearance about 25 years of age. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT TRI GARDEN. JIT.

THE WAY ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN ,ARE DISPOSED OF.—Ellen Harmer, described as a bonnetmaker, was charged before Mr. Yardley as follows : Michael Brannan, porter of St. Martin's Workhouse, said—On the 4th of September last a male childWlrs brought to St. Martin's Workhouse by a keeper of St. James's park, and in consequence of information I received I sought for the prisoner, whom I found in St. George's 'Workhouse yesterday. On the child being sent in to the prisoner she kissed it. I then told the prisoner that I had a warrant to apprehend for her deserting her child. I believe the pri soner is not married. Robert Waterfield, a keeper of St• James's-park, and living at 6, New-street, Vincent square, Westminster, said—On the 4th of September last, while returning from my breakfast, and passing the large plantation opposite the Horse Guards, I heard the cry of an infant, and found a child lying under a holly tree on a pioce of old skirt, and ♦ery dirty. I picked it up, and it appeared as if it had been drugged. I took it home and my wife washed it, and tried to feed it and put some clean things on it. I have not the least doubt that had it remained a little longer where it was it would have died. Mary Thompson, living at 64, Orchard-street, West minster, said—l have known the prisoner four or five years, and she is a single woman. I know the child pro duced ; it was a healthy child. I asked the prisoner where the child was, and she replied that it was at her sister's, and afterwards that she had given it to a little girl to take to the Westminster Workhouse. I went there but found the child was not there. In answer to Mr. Yardley, the witness said the child when she missed it was 11 months old. The child was produced and was in a delicate state of health. Mr. Yardley ordered the depositions to be taken, and the prisoner was committed for trial. EXTRAORDINARY FREAKS AND SUICIDE OF A LUNA TIC.—This morning, on Mr. Selfe taking his seat on the bench, he was informed that a German named Carl Schulger, or Friedtig Hartyman, for there were some doubts about his real name, who was remanded from this court on Friday morning, had committed suicide the same afternoon in the Clerkenwell House of Detention. The case was. one-ohs-most extraordinary description. The un fortunate man was charged on the police-sheet with bur glariously breaking and entering the dwelling house of Mr. Cornelius Edward Garman, surgeon, of No. 1, Carlisle terrace, Fairfield-road, Bow, with intent to do grievous bodilrharm. It appeared that on Thursday night,shortly before eleven o'clock, Mrs. Garman and a female servant named Emma Mayhew, were in the sitting room on the ground-floor, when they heard a feeble knock at the street door, which was followed by a very loud, and violent knocking, such as any one would give when a house was on fire. The knocking was accompanied by loud and piercing cries of murder. Fortunately, Mrs. Garman and her servant did not open the door, but put the,, chain up inside and belted the door, which was partly glazed with stout plate glass. Both mistress and servant then retreated into the drawing-room, from which they could see the German kicking and beating at the door with great fury, and calling out " Murder ! murder I" Mr. Garman called for the police, but long before any assist ance came the unfortunate man smashed the glass in the door, broke the door itself, and at last forced it bodily in, and it fell into the passage with a loud crash. The lunatic then proceeded along the passage armed with a long and bright dagger-knife, with a spring back, and entered the back parlour, where there was a light, burst open the folding djors, and entered the front parlour. The screams of Mrs. Garman and her servant, and their appeals for assist ance, were increased, and fortunately at this critical mo ment, and as the lunatic was about to ascend the stairs leading to the drawing-room, a police-constable, named Rushton, 113 K, entered the house. The foreigner, who was in a state of frenzy, rushed towards him with the dagger-knife in his hand, on which Rushton struck him a heavy blow on the head with his truncheon and knocked him down. Rushton then fell on the maniac, wrested the knife from him, and conveyed him to the station-house. On searching him a gold watch and chain of considerable value, £2 Bs. 2d. in cash, and a passenger's contract ticket for a voyage from Germany to America via London were found upon him. The unfortunate man was in a very excited state when he was brought before Mr. Selfe yesterday (Friday) afternoon, and said that people were following him along the streets to murder him, and he sought a refuge in Mr. Garman's house. It was elicited from him by a German police-constable named Klasher, No. 312 K, that he was a native of Albertstadt, in Prussia, and that he landed in England ou Thursday morning. Mr. Selfe, after listening to a long incoherent and rambling speech from the prisoner, said he was undoubtedly insane, and remanded him to the House of Petention until Thursday next, at the same time directing that he should be w„ tched. A few minutes afterwards Roche, the gaoler of the court, reported t) the magistrate that the German had attempted to strangle himself in his cell, and as he had many other phsoners to look to, he could no longer be accountable for his safety. Mr. Selfe immediately gave orders for a cab to be procured, and the prisoner to be sent away to the House D.ate4tioti,_ in charge of two constables, immediately. Klasher, who acted as interpreter, accompanied his unfor tunate countryman to the House of Detention, and ex plained the reason of the prisoner being sent there speci ally in a cab, and it was the magistrate's wish that he should be carefully watched, as he had already made one attempt on his life. The suggestions of the magistrate were not attended to as they ought to be, for on one of the warders going to prisoner's cell two hours afterwards it was found that he was quite dead. He had committed suicide by strangling himself with his braces and handkerchief. Great blame is attributable to the prison authorities for'not tak ing more care of the unfortunate lunatic, or placing him under some sort of restraint. ies of vegetables have been on w of fruit is seasonably good. and rules inactive, as follows : E.- re* Bid Cherries, per lb. 0 oto 0 o Filberts, per lb .. 0 oto 0 0 Cobnuts, per lb 4 oto 4 Almonds, per bus 0 oto 0 0 Walnuts, per 100 0 oto 0 0 Figs, per d0z..... 0 oto 0 0 Damson ..........0 0 to 0 0 Gooseberries hi sv 0 oto 0 0 ICurrants, per do. 0 oto 0 0 Plums, per do. .. 0 oto 0 0 Greengages, pr do. 0 oto 0 0 Raspberriessprpt 0 oto 0 ABM!.

It stated that she had a full recollection of Mr. Silcock calling upon her on March 16, and that he left her house after four o'clock in tho afternoon. ,rnseyaido; the 16th of March, 'Mr. Barcham, who in 1860 had been clerk to Messrs. B Si o l a co rd ck m , an th s e ile I recollect of Mr. 1860, and that he would have to pass through the place where Mrs. Weeds resided. Ho returned home about half past five o'clock the same evening, Mr Edward Silcock was also out that day, but he came home before his brother. I know it was half-past five, as it was before I had had my tea. Mr. Boardman Silcock returned after his brother. By 'the Judge—My attention was first called to the cir cumstance I have spoken of in February last. Jane Gibbons, examined by Dr. Phillimore—l reside at Walcct, in Norfolk, with my father and mother. I know Mr. and Mrs. West. I was formerly in their service. I was there about a year. They had a daughter named Sarah. In 1860 I saw Mr. Burroughs at Mr. West's ; he first came in the summer, between two and three in the afternoon. When he became a constant visitor, ho used to arrive between one and two in the afternoon and he did not leave until between one and two in the morning. I know this as I had to sit up to let him out. I noticed he was particular in his attentions to Miss West. He used to speak improper things to hor. He said he loved her dearly, and when Mrs, Bur roughs went away he should marry her. I once saw him take, a great liberty with the lady. It was in the dining 'room. When I saw this I was putting some coal on the fire. I afterwards saw Miss West lying on the sofa one night about 12 o'clock. Mr. Burroughs' dress was disar ranged. I sometimes attended on Miss West, when she undressed. I did so on the evening I have referred to. She came up stairs to my bedroom, and asked me not to tell her mamma what I had seen. While she was speaking to me she kart her arias round my neck' and kissed me. F recollect Miss West being unwell about Christmas. I then slept with her. During this time Miss West had a mis• carriage. I recollect the volunteers being at Holcombe Hall late in the summer. Mr. West went to see them. His son John went with his father. They returned about six o'clock. in. the morning. Mr. Burroughs came during his absence. Be stayed there till between five and six o'clock in the morning. I was in the kitchen. My mistress came into the kitchen about eleven o'clock. I went into tho drawing-room once or twice during the even ing, and I saw Mr. Burroughs and Miss West standing before the looking-glass. I recollect going with Mr. and Mrs. West, Mr. Burroughs, Miss Hayes, and Miss West to a party at Walcot. We all went to a cottage to have dinner and tea. I saw Mr. Burroughs pull off Miss 'West's boot to get some sand out of it. Mr Burroughs said to her, " Pour mo out some tea, , my,clear.‘• I was making tea. afterwards saw Miss West on Mr. Burroughs' knee. Miss Hayes was in the room, as well as myself, when this took place. Cross-examined by Sir F. Slade—l am living now with my parents at Walcot. I have been out of service - twelve months. I have seen Mr. Boardmo.n Silcock twice about this matter. Miss West came to me first. I first saw Mr. Silcock about, five weeks ago. I nor my friends have been furnishdd with any money. Mr. Silcock was present when I made my . .first statement, which was take n down in writing. It is exactly the same as I have stated to-day. By the Judge—Neither my mother nor my sister were in the room when what I have said took place. Miss Hayes was. When Miss West was unwell, Mr. Clowes, the doctor, attended. He did not know what was the matter with her. Her mother did not know. I did' not tell the doctor what was the matter with Miss West. At Christmas time, in the dining-room, I saw Mr. Bur roughs commit adultery with Miss West the first time be came. I was about to enter the room when I saw them. It was about two or three months before Miss West was taken ill. I waited outside the room, when I saw what Mr. Burroughs and Miss West were doing, for about a minute, and then I again opened the door. They were still engaged, and I then closed the door. I have seen Mr. Burroughs:commit adultery with Miss West three or four times. By the Judge—On one occasion I saw the act committed twice within half an hour. The case was proceeding when we went to. press. THIS DA _I'S SHIPPING. LoNnow, March B.—Wind this day at noon—South ; light breeze and fino weather.

Al' Railway Company, fell in. On a large mass of debris being removed, two men, named respectively Roberts and Dono van, and a son of the latter, aged 18 years, were discovered injured in a frightful manner. They were without delay conveyed to the hospital, the son of Donovan having his shoulder fractured and his face much cut, and the two men so cut and bruised that they remain in a very precarious condition. The men, after removing the brickwork from the front, had placed a large quantity upon the top flooring, when the immense weight forced away the rafters, and the whole mass, with the unfortunate men, was carried down the basement. 'SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FRIDAY. For the Grand National Steeplechase, the principal feature was the support given to Brunette ; a fair amount was done oa the other horses quoted; but The Dane ap peared quite friendless. Hubert was backed for both the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes and the Derby very freely ; for the latter offers were made to take 23 to 1 in hundreds. There was little done on the Chester Cup; Agag, Zodiac, the Vest Colt, and Weasel had each their friends; 20 to 1 would have been taken about either of the first two, and 100 to 5 each was taken in one bet against the four. For the Northamptonshire Stakes, Rapparee was in great force, but we saw nothing less than 12 to 1 taken.—Closing prices : GRIND NATIONAL STEEPLECHASE. 7to 1 agst Huntsman (taken) 12 to 1 agst Brunette (taken) 12 to 1 agst Jealousy (taken) 14 to 1 agst Thomastown (taken) 16 to 1 agst Playman (taken) 16 to 1 agst Ranthus (taken) 25 to 1 agst Yorkshire Grey (taken) 25 to 1 agst Bueephalus (taken) 100 to 3 agst The Dane (offered) 40 to 1 agst Duhallow (offered) 40 to 1 agst Tumbler (offered) TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS. 7to lon the field 6to 1 agst The Marquis (offered) 12 to 1 agst Hubert (taken) .

Below we give the names of those now rowing; and as time will soon compel a final choice, and training proper must now begin in earnest, we shall not look to see many further changes. We thought to have given the present weights of the men for after comparison with the result of five or six weeks' train ing, which, we believe, is a matter of interest with many; and we accordingly made application to the respective pre- j sidents for the information, but, unfortunately, our letters most likely miscarried. The race will be rowed, as usual, from Putney to West minster, on Saturday, the 12th of April ; and as we hear that the price of the steamboats has been most judiciously raised by the the company, there is great hope that there will not be F o great a number afloat.

The quotation of golds is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f 150 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425} per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 2-10 the per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at (10 days' sight is 113 to 114 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 3a per cent. At these rates the importation of gold from the United States would leave a trifling profit. DISTRESS AT ASIITON-UNDER-LYNE.—The usual meeting of the Ashton Board of Guardians was held yes terday.

Balance in hand, £1,448 17s. 6d.—A letter was read from the Poor-law Board sanctioning the relief given to a number of able bodied applicants. At the same time the Board in timated that a portion of the relief should have been given in kind, as had been pointed out in a previous letter. They trusted tho men would be set to work in all cases w h erever practicable. The Clerk presented a statement of the expenditure of the union for the half year ending the 29th of September, 1861, as well as an estimate of the expenditure for the corresponding half year of 1862. The cost of the union in-maintenance for the half year ending 20th September, 1861, was £1,092 14s. 3d. and £2,138 Os. 9d. was paid in out•rolief.

EXECUTION OF CAP7'AnT GORDON. Our American telegram yesterday contained the short and simple statement that " Captain Gordon has been hanged." It would not be strange if, int the absence of all explanation, some who read this said to themselves that that was the captain's affair, and passed on. Yet Captain Gordon's exe cution was by no means an event of personal inte rest. On the contrary, throughout America it is understood to be full of significance. It is an in des of the quality of Mr. Lincoln's Government, of its strength of principle, and the consistency of it% policy, and it marks the end of a system. Gordon was tried and convicted as the captain of a slaver, and was sentenced to death. Under Pierce, Buchanan, and Presidents of their stamp, his con demnation would not have caused his friends any serious alarm. It was well understood on all sides that there were legal forms, decent, proper in a Christian and civilised nation; and solemn sen tences passed on persons proved to have partici pated in the African slave trade were not at all objected to as long as they were not carried out. The prospect changed, however, when Mr. Lincoln was made President. People felt that it would be thenceforth more dangerous to dabble in this traffic. Still, when a slave captain was actually convicted and sentenced to death, it was very ge nerally =doubted whether the Government would hold firm. Practical men, quite prepared to con demn the Af rican s l ave t ra d e i n t h e a b stract, re coiled fr om t h e thought of strangl i ng a white man because h e h a d removed some black men from a to a Christian country. Mr. although a free-soiler, was not a fanatical abolitionist, and would think twice be fore he sacrifices the life of a man of Anglo-Saxon blood to a sentiment in favour of the negro. These people, however, forgot the difference between principle and sentiment. Mr. Lincoln and his party have no particular affection for the negro race, but they know that the b es t i nterests o f t h e w hite community require that injustice should not be perpetrated upon the bl ac k s . In th i s re pect their positionis very much like that of the Protestant liberals here who were demanding Catholic emancipation forty years ago; they care more for the cause than for the parties most obvi ously affected by it. As time wore on the friends of Gordon became anxious, and they took -measures to move public opinion on his behalf. A petition was drawn up, which in a few days was signed by several thousand merchants of New York, and pre sented to the Government. There is not a kinder man in the - world than President Lincoln ; but neither is there a man who better understands how cruel may be the indulgence of fond sentiment at the ex/30.5D taf duty. Captain Gordon would have had a bet t- chance had his life depended on the decision of-some impulsive negro-phile, instead of being at the . disposal of the severe, deliberative, bat inflexible tenant of the White House, a man ho, amidst the severest trials, has never swerved 'a hair's breadth from the policy which he professed when he was a candidate for office. Those who knew President Lincoln well said that he would not lose the precious opportunity to strike a blow at a system which costs hundreds of lives yearly, and dooms the brave men of the two African squadrons to ruin their health on a pestilential coast, They said Gordon would certainly be hanged. They were right, and from the Bight of Benin to the coast o Cuba the man-stealer will tremble. FURTHER PARTICULARS. Captain Gordon, convicted of slavery piracy, in spite of all the efforts made to avert his fate, has been executed. He had attempted to poison him self, but was sufficiently restored to undergo th e sentence of the law. His last moments are described by the .New York Times : "As had been the practice heretofore, Mr. Sut ton, the Warden, allowed Gordon the privilege of walking up and down the corridor. This he availed himself of on Thursday night, and amused (shocked) hi s k e epers by singing to them Portuguese songs, and talking of everything under the sun other than that which one would suppose should occupy the thoughts of a sane man the night before his execu tion. He then called for writing materials, and sat smoking and writing till near midnight. He wrote 13 letters, several of which were very - bitter upon I)elafield Smith, and one to his little boy, which is to be kept sealed until be shall have attained maturer age. No evidence of insanity, of fear, of a just conception of his situation—in fact, of anything except a great fondness for smoking, was given by him during those long hours. "At length, about midnight, he lay down upon the bed. His keepers—Finley, Borst, Peale, and Buckley—took turns in guarding him, one being in the cell all the time, while the other walked the corridor. In addition to this, a detachment of marines guarded the entrances to the prison, and paced the stone-paved yard. " At last he slept, and so continued until about three o'clock in the morniug, when he started sud denly from his_bed, looked at his watch, muttered something, and again lay down with his face to the wail. No suspicion of poison entered the minds of the watchful keepers until 4 a.m., when Gordon was discovered writhing in convulsions, and with every indication of dissolution marked on his coun tenance. Alarmed, they knew not what to do. They shook him, endeavouring to wake him from what might be simply a disturbed sleep, but no waking followed their eiforts, and in haste they sent for Dr. Simmons,who in turiz despatched a messenger for the City Prison physician, Dr. A. Hodgman, and then hastened to the cell. He found Gordon in convulsions, which seemed to increase in violence at each repetition. He applied the stomach-pump, and gave him stimulants. Lockjaw set in, need the wretched man, from that moment till 10 a.m. suf fered torments to which the momentary agony of a scaffold death can bear no possible comparison. " We have no room for an extended account of the subsequent scenes of torture through which the poor fellow passed. Suffice it to say, that while the fatal effect of the poison was removed by the mea sures of Dr. Hodgman and assistants, the painful effects remained, and from half-past 4 o'clock to 11 o'clock, but with momentary cessation, Gordon suf fered torments for the double purpose of restoring vitality and neutralising the pain, and, had this not been the case, long before the appointed hour Gordon would have passed from time to eternity. He said that he had suffered a dozen deaths since he took the poison, and begged that he might be allowed to die, and end his misery. " At times, for half an hour, his jaws Wou7sl bo firmly closed, and he could neither talk nor gromi. A n t suchthis condition—half times h e would write ri t alive,his d h e a s l i f r eds dead, nearly pa per. I under the absolute influence ofliquor, given for the purpose of saving him, the poor wretch lingered until the legal boundary of his life's career. The feeling in the city was intense. It was rumoured that Mrs. Gordon had supplied her husband with poison, d a s n a d t h t . h a c t r h o w e d h s a d g s e t s h c e a r p e e d d a b b y o u t t h at, the and A t h t e I g 2 r e o o t l e o s e t k e x m c i a t r e s m h e e l n tmpurrervaayilhe emTeaonmsbsa,. through Mr. Dr a p er , th at t h e hour had o d t * * i fi s e r d r G v e o d r . d o A n t , this he expressed great surprise, and said he thought he had two hours more in which to live. The clergyman entered the cell and prayed with him, or rather for him. Deputy-Marshal Borst aided him in dressing, and gave him a large drink of clear whisky, when his arms were tied, the black cap was put carelessly on one side of his head, and he was carried on the Deputy's shoulder to a chair in the corridor. The sight was simply shocking. He sat had been the effect of the poison that, in order to The man was not sober ; that is, so ,o p thm o e w ayk er e f a u n l tokhhreedese on rdinary Marshal,rhi y r gmai man drunk r t tg i uh l i l nvuke t n h hta e ihffm n r ee e cwe c t eethsidismsatkeri nys y ihaoeeo m rtnsviw o oohe m unara e enough read al a e c hair, gazing listlessly around, while h fo il r e_ l had while That ,t d hw o e n i tl e h helped to his upturned head and lol lingly in th to the death warrant.

The procession was then formed, Gordonstalking; on with a bravadoish air, upheld by the Marshals, towards the scaffold. "To a casual spectator it would appear that, _ exhausted by mental and physical suffering, Gor- ...-"" don was making a great effort to walk manfully to , his fate. As it was, however, he had just sense enough left to endeavour to follow out the suf o g d ef i ' e Lion of the well•meaning Deputy, who told like a man, and to walk to the rope so that none accuse of him of fear. When he reached t he 'm not he said, ' Well, a man can't die but the o nc e : I whitened, afraid.'
