Constance Wilson was indicted for the wilful murder of Maria Somes by administering poison. There was an other indictment against her for causing the death of Ann Atkinson. The Attorney-General prosecuted; and Mr. Oppenheim and Mr. M. Williams defended. The cases against the prisoner were very complicated, but the following outline contains all that is interesting to the public The first death was said to have taken place as far back as October, 1856, and evidence is to be adduced to show that the deceased woman lived in the same house with the prisoner, and that she was taken suddenly ill and exhi bited all the symptoms of choleraic diarrhea, and the pri soner attended upon her and gave her medicine. She died, it appeared, very shortly afterwards, and the medical man who had been called on was so struck by the character of the symptoms and the suddenness of the death that he refused to give any certificate as to the cause of death until there had been a post-•mortem exami nation. This examination took place, but no poison was discovered. In this particular instance the poison that was suggested to have been given to the deceased was colchi cum. It would seem that, very shortly after the deceased died, the prisoner made a very extraordinary statement to one of the witnesses, which was to the effect that she was in possession of a very great secret respecting the deceased, which secret was that she had committed suicide, and she at the same time said that her reason for doing so was that she had been engaged to be married to some man whom she had discovered to be an unworthy character, and that this man had borrowed £BO of her, and she could not get any of the money back. The prisoner also said that this man was in the constant habit of applying to tha deceased for money, and that in all probability a letter would be received from him on the following Saturday. It a ppeared that on this day a letter did arrive purporting to come from some man who admit ted that he had borrowed £BO of the deceased, and stated that he could not repay her unless she made him a further advance of £lO. It would appear that none of the family of the deceased had the slightest knowledge of the existence of such a connexion between her and this man, and, in addition to this, there was evidence that the letter to which he had called their attention was in the handwriting of the prisoner. In the second charge against the prisoner it also appeared that the transaction took place a considerable time ago, namely, in the year 1860, but the evidence was not so strong against the prisoner as that in support of the former charge. The deceased resided at Kirkby Lons dale, in Yorkshire, where she and her husband carried on some business, and she was in the habit of coming to London every three months for the purpose of pay ing for goods that were supplied to her, and she generally brought with her £BO or £lOO, and it ap peared that she was in the habit of stopping at the residence of the prisoner. She was taken ill almost immediately after her arrival in town upon the last occasion, and ex hibited the same symptoms as were shown in the other case by the deceased, and the medical man who attended her found that the remedies he prescribed failed together in alleviating these symptoms, and the deceased died a very few days after she was attacked. A suggestion ap peared to have been made that there should be a post mortem examination of the deceased, but this was opposed by the prisoner, who said that the London doctors always deaired to be cutting of the bodies of their patients after death, and the decceaqed was buried From what after wards took place, however, the body was exhumed, and in this case also there was no trace of poison discovered. At the conclusion of the evidence of the medical zentle men who attended Mrs. Soames during her last illness, Mr. Justice Byles said it would be better to take the cross-exami• nation to-morrow morning. The court then adjourned, and the jury were locked up for the night. NEW COURT. ALLEGED MURDER. Three women, named Flynn, Rose, and Riley, were in dicted, under the Coroner's inquest, for the wilful murder of John Riley. _ . There was also another indictment preferred against the prisoners, but the grand jury ignored the bill. It will be recollected that the child John Riley was left in charge of a girl to nurse, who, it was stated, administered some laudanum to the child, and the prisoners were taken into custody, in consequence of not obeying the directions of the surgeon to prevent the child from sleeping. Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted, and Mr. Libton defended the prisoners. The learned counsel said, as the grand jury had thrown out the bill, and the evidence being the same in the present case, he did not intend to proceed with it. Mr. Ribton said he was instructed to defend the prisoners, but after the statement of the learned counsel there was no need of his making any further observation. The prisoners were then ordered to be discharged. CUTTING AND WOUNDING. Emma Sophia Sheppard, a married woman, was indicted for unlawfully cutting and wounding George Austin. Mr. Dickie prosecuted and Mr. Orridge defended the prisoner. The prosecutor and prisoner resided together at Wool wich, and some jealousy having taken place between them the prisoner took a razor and severely cut the throat of the prosecutor. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the learned judge sentenced her to 10 years' penal servitude.

An aged man, named Shirtcliffe, was indicted for the manslaughter of a female named Oliver, with whom he cohabited. The prisoner and the deceased lived together as man and wife, the female being of a very dissipated disposition, while the prisoner was altogether as industrious. On a Sunday night they quarrelled about some money, when he took up a shell and threw it at the woman, the missile striking her on the head, and her death occurred 15 days after. Mr. Sleigh contended that death had arisen through natural causes. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Floretta Hemming, a highly respectable-looking young woman, the daughter of the late Henry Hemming, the comedian, of the Adelphi Theatre, surrendered in discharge of her bail, on a charge of concealing the birth of her infant. The court was crowded by a number of the leading mem bers of the theatrical profession, including Mr. B. Webster and Mr. C. Mathews. Mr. Poland prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Mon tague Williams defended. From the evidence it appeared that Miss Hemming, when in London and out of an engagement, was in the habit of residing with Mrs. Willis at 43, Southampton row, Blooms bury, On the 10th of August of the present year she re turned to the same lodgings, and was accommodated with a portion of a bedroom with the daughter of Mrs. Willis, who occupied the same bed. She became ill, and from cer tain circumstances it was suggested that a surgeon should be sent for, but she stated she had been seen by Dr. Bain bridge, of the same neighbourhood, and that she was suf fering from a failure of nature, and the pains were produced by natural causes. She afterwards became very ill, and was visited by Dr. Bainbridge the following day, but after that she got better; and on Saturday, the 23d of August, it appeared she called at the residence of a lady named Walton, of Angel-road, Brixton. That lady was engaged at the time and could not see Miss Hemming, but she asked permission to go to the closet in the garden. She then went there and was absent for some time, and after wards, having seen Mrs. Walton, left the house. Shortly afterwards the female servant observed some strange marks in the closet, and the appearance of the place altogether being very unusual, a search was made, when the body of a child was found underneath the top of the closet wrapped in flannel but quite dead. A communication was made to the police and a constable was appointed to investigate the case. Mr. Christy, a surgeon residing in the neighbour hood, was called in to see the body, which was in a high state of decomposition, and in his belief it had been born about 10 days. The prisoner was afterwards charged with having given birth to a child, but she denied the accusation. The constable, however felt justi fied ,in detaining Miss Hemming in custody, and on her being examined by a surgeon he gave it as his opinion that she had given birth to a child, and he also expressed an opinion that Dr. Bainbridge who had attended her must have been aware of the fact. At the close of the case for the prosecution - - Mr. Sleigh in a very pathetic manner addressed the jury for the defendant. She was a person of the highest education and attainments, and had been deceived by a person under whose management she had been engaged in a most base and heartless manner. With respect to the legal bearing of the case he was of opinion that it had altogether failed. There was nothing to show that she had not con fided to Dr. Bainbridge the fact that she was about to be delivered of a child. The Common Sergeant said, the. prosecution not having called Dr. Bainbridge, entitled the jury to come to the same conclusion as that just mentioned by the learned counsel. The question the jury had to try, was not the disposal of the body, but the actual concealment of birth. The jury having conferred for a few minutes, returned a verdict of not guilty. The defendant, who appeared to be suffering very severely, then quitted the court with her friends. SHIPPIN G---THZS DAY. ( B y MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) GRATESE ND, Thursday Morning.

FORGERY.—A young man, named Robert Edward Daw son, was placed at the bar before the Lord Mayor, charged with utterirg a draft with the forged endorsement of his employer. The draft in question was drawn upon Messrs. Glyn the bankers, of 71, Lombard-street, and the prisoner was a clerk in the employ of Mr. T. Aggs, shipbroker, of Fen church-street. According to the evidence it appeared that Mr. Aggs expected a large sum of money from Swansea, and the prisoner must have appropriated the letter containing the draft when it arrived, and after forg ing the endorsement of his employer he presented it at Messrs. Glyn's, where he received payment for it, but shortly after the forgery was discovered, and steps were immediately taken to stop the notes at the Bank of Eng land. A little boy in a short time entered to get the notes changed, but as he was detained, the prisoner, who was waiting outside, became anxious, and went into the bank and asked whether a little boy had been to change a quan tity of notes for gold, He was told he had, and on the lad being shown to him, he said that was the boy he was in search of. He was then told of the forgery and detained. Mr. Mullins said he must ask for a remand, in order to obtain the attendance of certain persons from Swansea. The remand was ordered accordingly. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. HEARTLESS ROBBRRY BY FOREIGNERS.--Auguste Du pey rat, a clerk, and Lem Langlois, a waiter, were charged before Mr. Knox with stealing the sum of £59 from Charles von Meerbagen, a wititer out of place, lodging at the Lord Belgrave, Spur-street, Leicester-square. Mr. Albert interpreted. _ _ _ The prosecutor, who spoke pretty good English, said that yesterday morning he left his lodgings, leaving a sum of money in his drawers. About one o'clock he returned, and seeing the prisoners at the bar of the house, treated them to some drink and cigars. He afterwards took them up to his bedroom, and told the landlady to bring up three glasses of beer. He afterwards went to his drawer to get out the money to pay for it, which the prisoners saw. He (prosecutor) then went down stairs, and directly after the prisoner Langlois ran down stairs, and was then followed by the other. On going up stairs he found all the drawers in confusion, and his money (Z 59) gone. He afterwards seized Langlois and took him to the station, when he said he did not take the money, but that his friend (Dupeyrat) had done so. He had got the numbers of the notes. [The pro secutor read from his pocket-book the numbers, which he said he had taken two months ago.] Sergeant Horsey, 6 C, said that yesterday, at 5 o'clock, he was called to 5, Spur-street, by prosecutor, and told that Langlois and another had robbed him. He asked Langlois what he had got in his pockets, when he said " What right have you to search me—my friend has got the money and not me." The prosecutor then took him up to his bedroom and showed him where the money had been taken from, and the number of the notes. He then took Langlois into custody when he gave a correct address, On searching him he found only a trifle in money. John Bolter, a constable of the C Division, said he found Dupeyrat at his lodgings 19, Leicester-street, Regent street, and took him into custody. At the station on searching him, he found upon him £4O in notes (produced) and £3 17s. in cash, and also some duplicates. Mr. Albert having read over the evidence to the prisoners, Mr. Knox committed them for trial. John Fisher, a stableman, was charged with violently assaulting Wm. David, by striking him on the head with a large stone, the'prosecutor being so badly assaulted that he was obliged to be taken to St. George's Hospital, and he appeared in court with his head nearly covered with bandages. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for a week that he might see the state of the injured man. CRIMINAL CO URI . —(Y esterday). OLD COURT. ALLEGED MURDER NEAR FITZROY-SQUARE. Charles Francis Cotier was indicted for the wilful mur der of Elizabeth Corby. The jury found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter. Sentence was deferred. NEW COURT. ALLEGED CHILD MURDER. Susan Arter, lately in the service of Madame Goldsmid Lind, was indicted for the wilful murder of her illegitimate child. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner delivered herself of the child in question, and afterwards put it in a box; but, on being questioned by Mr. Otto Goldsmid she at first denied, but afterwards admitted the fact, and pointed out the box in which the body was concealed. On the body being taken out marks of violence were dis covered about the throat. The surgeon who was called in was of opinion that the child had been born alive. After a very impressive address from Mr. Sleigh on be half of the prisoner, The jury acquitted her of the murder, but found her guilty of concealing the birth of the child. Mr. Justice Keating sentenced the prisoner to 15 months imprisonment. THE MURDER IN THE CITY ROAD. Adelaide Cole, lately residing at Brunswick-place, City road, was indicted for the murder of her child by cutting its throat. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was decidedly of unsound mind. The jury returned a verdict of acquittal, under those:cir cumstances, and the unfortunate woman was ordered to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure. THIRD COURT. LIBEL: MR. GRAY'S CASE. Shortly after two o'clock Mr. Gray, who last night was found guilty of publishing a libel against a gentleman named Phillips, was called upon to surrender for judg- ment. The Common Sergeant having gone through the, facts of the case, said he thought the libel complained of exceeded the liberty which ought to be allowed. He then sentenced Mr. Gray to pay a fine of £5O, and to be imprisoned until the money be paid. MARKETS-TIIIS DAY. MARK LANE. lbit ERIAL WEEKLY AVERAGES.

The first witness examined was Mary Spencer, who said that on the morning of the 15th the prisoner Gardener came to her at her lodgings in Back Northumberland alley, and told her to come to his house. She did so, and there she saw the body of the deceased lying en the floor with a gap in the throat. The female prisoner was crying and saying what a shocking thing it was, and what a wicked man Gardener must be to accuse her of having done it. She, by Gardener's direction, went for the police. Witness said some time ago she knew that Gardener and his wife quarrelled in consequence of his familiarities with Humbler. Mr. Cowley, surgeon, described the injuries, and said ha was decidedly of opinion that the wound the deceased woman had on the throat could not have been inflicted by her own hand. The Lord Mayor—What sort of an instrument would have inflicted the wound ? Witness—The knife that has been shown to me. [The weapon was here produced. It was a small white-handled carving-knife, and exceedingly sharp towards the point.] The Lord Mayor (to the prisoner Gardiner)—Do you wish to ask the witness any questions ? Gardiner—No, nothing. _ _ _ Mobbs, the City police-sergeant, said—The knife pro duced was handed to him when he entered the room. Dr. Sequeira said the prisoner Gardiner had just taken it from the deceased's right hand. The female prisoner said, " You wretch, you are the cause of this." Gardiner said, " What ? You have done this." Humbler clasped her hands, and exclaimed, " Oh, my God I" The male prisoner said he suspected her because he had had intercourse with her, and she was aware that through a dispute she had to leave the service of Mrs. Gardiner. Both persons were given into custody after the inquest was adjourned yester day. On the road to the station Gardiner said two or three times, " I am glad I have been given into custody. I hope now something will come out." Both prisoners were remanded. BANE OF ENGLAND.

THE WAR IN AMERICA. (Per City of New York, vta Roche's Point.) NEW YORK, SEPT. 12, EVENING. The Confederates under Jackson have occupied Haggerstown, Maryland, and are entering Pen•a sylvania. Their advanced guard is at Green Castle, Pennsylvania. Immense excitement pre vails throughout Pennsylvania, and great prepstra tions are making at Harrisburg. The Governor has called for 50,000 men to resist invasion, and has telegraphed to the Mayor of Philadelphia to raise and forward 20,000 men without delay. The farmers are arming, and sending the women, and ch ildren away.. The Confederates are recruiting in Maryland. General Lee has issued a proclamation to the people of Maryland, announcing that the Con federate army has come to liberate them from Federal rule, and stating that it is for them to de cide their destiny without restraint. The Southern people, says the proclamation, "will rejoice to welcome the people of l Aiaryland, but will only welcome them when they come of their own free. will." General M'Clellan has arrived at Damasc us , Maryland, 34 miles from Washington. Burnside operates in another direction. The Federals occupy Sugar Loaf Mountain, nin e miles south of Frederick, and eight miles north of Poolesville. A battle near Cincinnati is momentarily ex pected, the Federal pickets beyond Covington hav ing been driven in. Cincinnati is reported to be sufficiently strong to repel any attack. Twelve hundred Confederates attacked Wash ington, North Carolina, on the 6th, but were re pulsed and pursued several miles. The Federal gunboats assisted in driving them off. One gun boat blew up, killing the captain and 19 men. Gen. M'Dowell has demanded a court of inquiry into the charges of treason made against him. The Cuban authorities have ordered the Confede• rate steamer Oreto away from Havannah. MEXICO. The New York journals publish news from Vera Cruz to the Ist of Sept., stating that a rupture had occurred in the Juarez cabinet. Senor Doblado had resigned, and had been replaced by Senor Juan de la Fuente. San Blas and Man zanilla had declared in favour of foreign inter. vention. The Foreign Ministers had protested against the abusive pamphlets issued at Mexico. Spanish circulars were being distributed among the people urging them to remember their Spanish descent, to establish a monarchy, and call the Duchess of Montpensier to the throne. NEW YORK, SEPT. 13, MORNING. General Lee is reported to be at Leesburg with a large force. The Federals are reported to have occupied Frederick, Maryland, which the Confederates have evacuated. Gen. Stuart's Confederate Cavalry with artillery entered Westminster, Maryland, on the 11th inst., received several recruits, and after making pur chases retired to Hagerstown. Very heavy rains have fallen, in consequence of which the Potomac is much swollen. The Philadelphia City Council has appropriated 500,000 dole. for the defence of the city and State. A Federal reconnaisance made 12 miles from Cin cinnati discovered the Confederates falling back in the direction of Lexington. Some reports say this is merely a feint. The Confederates surprised the Federals at Wit- liamsburg on the 9th inst. An engagement ensued, which lasted 30 minutes. The Confederate loss is reported to have been more severe than that of the Federals, who remained in possession of the city. Gen. Fremont has accepted the offer of the New York war committee to raise 60,000 men ; but the Secretary of War has refused to grant permission to the war committee to raise troops for Fremont. Two hundred men have been drafted to Hartford, Connecticut. Disturbances have occurred at Newtown, Con necticut, arising from the enforcement of the draft. General Beauregard has been appointed to com mand the department of South Carolina. The New York Times thinks there are symptoms that the Confederates, in invading the Northern States,propose,inatead of establishing their indepen dence, to overthrow President Lincoln's adminis tration, and obtain the control of the Federal Go vernment. The 7imes is of opinion that Lincoln's Govern ment, by its weakness and incapacity, offers itself a prey to the first strong hand venturing to seize it. The Times thinks that the danger can only be met by President Lincoln giving the country a respon sible Cabinet, made up of the strongest and best men. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald has information that the object of the Confe derate invasion of Maryland was to overthrow Pre sident Lincoln's administration, and restore the Union and Constitution.
