WRECK-OF THE ROYAL CHARTER. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The investigation into the circumstances of the /reek of the Royal Charter was resumed yesterday a St. George's Hall, Liverpool, before Mr. Mans eld and Captain Harris, K.N. Mr. O'Dowd appeared on behalf of the Board of :rade, and Mr. Aspinall appeared for the owners f the vessel, Messrs. Gibbs, Bright and Co. Mr. Smith, receiver of wrecks, was recalled to wove that certain depositions made by Mr. Brad ,ury were made before him. Mr. Bradbury was a third class passenger on board the Royal Charter, and is now lying at Moelfre, suffering from a broken leg, sustained in saving himself from the wreck. The depositions were to the following effect : , The state of the barometer was entered during every four hours, and during a change -of weather, more frequently. The last time he (Mr. Bradbury) wrote up the captain's log was, he believed, on Saturday, October 22. He was engaged on Monday posting up, and in writing abstracts of the log and passen ger lists for the Liverpool papers. The last entry that was made of the barometer, was at twelve at midnight on Tuesday the 28th. He believed 28 and 29 were the figures. He did not hear any ob• servation made by the captain on the 25th October, as to the state of the weather.. The officer§ of the ship always registered the barometer. He believed there were three barometers on board, one in the captain's room, one in Mr. Stephens's, the chief officer, and as to the other he could not say where it hung. Mr. Smith read a letter of instructions from the Board of Trade to the lighthouse keepers for the purpose of obtaining meteorological information. The letter which I hold in my hand was addressed' to Mr. Morgan, the lighthouse keeper, at Moelfre. I called on Mr. Morgan on Sunday morning. The paper - now handed me contains observations on wind and weather. They are as follows :—On October the 25th, at 9 p.m., the wind was. S.E., a strong breeze, dull and gloomy. At 10 p.m. a fresh gale and rainy weather,wind from E.N.E. At 11 . p.m., wind N.E., a heavy gale and rainy weather. At 12 p.m. a heavy gale and rainy weather. On October 26th, at 1 a.m. there was a heavy gale with rain, wind N.E. 2 and 3 a.m., a heavy gale and rainy weather. At 4 a.rn. wind N.E. until 1 p.m., then veered round to the north and moderated. On the morning of the 25th of October, at 9 a.m., the wind was S.E., with light clear weather. At 3 p.m. the wind was S.E., strong, dull, and hazy, the sky dull and gloomy all day. A paper containing observations was handed in, on the state of the wind at Liverpool on the 25th of October, taken by Mr. Hartnup, at the Liverpool observatory. It was discovered, however that the storm did not reach Liverpool until the afternoon of the 26th. Mr. Smith, re-examined by Mr. O'Dowd, said— I have been at the wreck since my former exami nation last week. I went off for the purpose of procuring some of the plates and rivets of the ship. I had great difficulty in procuring them. If it had not been for the assistance of Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., I could not have succeeded in getting any. It took four boiler-makers three days to get one plate out. By Mr. Aspinall—l never saw a ship, in my mind, so strongly built ; for it was with the greatest difficulty that we could stir some of the rivets. I am not a ship-builder, but I have had considerable experience in wrecked vessels, and I speak from observation.: The watches found on various bodies were stopped from 20 minutes past 7, to 8 o'clock. Mr. Mellor asked the liberty of the Court to put a question to Mr. Smith, as to what course had been adopted for the recovery of the bodies. The Court ruled that the question was irrelevant to that inquiry. Mr. O'Dowd said he stated to Mr. Mellor very distinctly that that was not a question for this in quiry. He was bound to do justice to Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co. They had already evidence on this subject. Mr. Smith had been examined on the .subject, and he stated very distinctly that everything had been done that could be expected under the circumstances. Jahn. Shepherd, being sworn, said—l am the master of No. 4 pilot-boat.. There are 12 pilot boats belonging to the dock board.' No. 4 is a sloop built boat. She is registered 23 tons. We carry a masthead light, and use the flash every 15 minutes. There is a crew of six always on board. I remem-. ber Tuesday the 25th. I was out on that day. We were close in between Middlemouse and Puffin Island the whole of the day and night. At about seven o'clock in the afternoon it commenced to blow very strong. It increased very much after eight o'clock, with rain and lightning. At 11 p.m. the weather was more violent than it had been all the day .and night. The men in the pilot boat could not hear each other speak at the distance of eight feet on the deck. We were in the water all the tune. The wind was to the N.E. The boat's lights were put out. They were lighted again and put out again The foreign-g o in g vesse l s seldom come into the port of Liverpool without a pilot, if they can get one. We sounded a little be fore daylight, and there was 27 fathoms of water. We could not see the length of the boat, in conse quence of the drift. We saw Point Lynas,: but we lost it again. We then saw it again at 11 o'clock. We had close-reefed sails. We lost the storm jib and the stay foresail during the night, and the boat drifted eight miles in consequence. By Mr. Aspinall—l have been 39 years a pilot, and 29 years a master pilot. I never knew such a hurricane,- the wind blowing from that point of the compass, as on that night. On this coast it is more. usual.foran easterly-wind to back to south, rather than the, north. I never saw a heavier sea in my lifetime. There could net be a worse shore for breaking a vessel up than Moelfre. By Captain Harris—At five p.m., I telegraphed. to Point Lynas to see whether there were any .ves sels along the coast, but I got no answer. -The place where the RoyaleCharter is supposed to have anchored is'l4nder ordinary circumstances tolerably good-anchoring ground, but I think no anchor would have held on such-a night. My boat was re ported to have been lost on that night. Richard Perry, being sworn, said—l am master of thelife-boat No. 11,„ I was out on the 25th of October. I was off Point Lynas at half-past seven o'clock on the evening of Tuesday, the 25th. Left Holyhead at a quarter before three. The wind was E.S.E. At seven p.m. I saw what I thought was a blue light from a vessel about four or miles west ward. I did not see any rocket, but I believe there was a rocket sent off below the Skerries, about half past sir p.m. This was, reported to me by one of the men. The Royal Charter might have been seven or eight miles from Point Lynas. The wind was blowing. hard at seven o'clock. They had all their reefs in. At half-past five o'clock it began to blow hard, increasing as it backed, to the north. We lost sight of Point Lynas about eights o'clock, and (lid not see anything till about 11 o'clock next day. I agree with Mr. Shepherd as to the violence of the storm. By Mr. Aspinall—Easterly gales more usually back to the southward. Of late years they have sometimes backed to the north. No place could.be worse for breaking up a ship than the shore where the Royal Charter struck upon. No person could have any idea of the violence of the storm unless they had been out in it. C:.pt. Harris—lf we had had the good luck to have fallen in with the Royal. Charter we could not have boarded her in consequence of the violence of the storm. At 6 p.m. the barometer had fallen to 29. It was low all day. Betwe:n midnight _and 4 o'clock in the morning of the.26th it reached 28.70. I did not notice the thermometer. We lost seven or eight miles the night of the storm. Mr. Aspinall said Mr. Patterson was present to be examined, if Mr. O'Dowd chose to examine him,: as to the strength of the vessel. Mr. O'Dowd said he would prefer a , king Mr. Patterson a few questions nearer the close of the inquiry. He conceived that he had. established a print ,t . facie case, which probably Mr. Aspinall would meet by an examination of witnesses. He had evidence now that the ship was lo,t, and that she broke up in a vary complete and sudden manner, and he (Mr. O'Dowd) apprehended it would be for Mr. Aspinall to show that this did not arise from any apparent weakness or want of strength in the . vessel: It VaiS then anTeed to call Mr. Patterson, and he was examined Capt. Harris. * 'Mr. William Patter Pa • both of wooden anclseon—l ara a shipb u ild er , Charter was built in A ir p o r a il, v l e S s 3 se s is* "°37al p was contracted for by M essrs.

She was- commenced, and I t oo k lice wl;en Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co. b3ught her. her fratnevcork was then up. She w.Ls, subsequent to her con onencoment, altered to an auxiliary screw vessel.: this alteration had taken place before I Went to inspmt her. After the ship had advanced nearly into lime, with ; the exception of her stern-post, Messr.-4. Crain failed, Then the greater portion of the iron wns on the premises. I . then took to her, and prior to- that I brought my own foreman from Bris tol to 1,13,0 k particularly to the iron and the rivetting. As the !hip progressed we were very particular in looking - /o sce,that all the iron and rivets were par ticularly good. Lloyd's rules with reference to iron ships creee not then in existence. The plates by the keel N% ere one inch thick, and the plates to these were this of an inch and Iths of an inch above the turn o f the bilge. The plates at both ends were 1-16th of an inch ; less. The two plates oppoSite each ti'a:of beams were itlis of WI ilia), extending 250 feet... The keel was 12in. by 4in. lam not quite clear that it was not 41in. The rivets in the keel were The rivets from the larboard streak to the turn of the bilge were lin. The plates and butts were all double rivetted. The frames 18in. from centre to centre. The frame iron was sin. by 31in. She had five kelsons. There were two wing kelsons, one at the bilge and the others halfway be tween the bilge and the middle kelson. The lower tiers of beams were 10in. by :aths. The upper edge of the beams had angular iron rivetted on, 3in. by 3in. by 14in. The_ second tier of beams was 9in. by Iths, with angular iron rivetted on the upper edge 3in. by 3in. by lin. The upper tier of beams was Sin. by 9 16ths, and angular iron rivetted on the upper edge, 3in. by 3in. by 4-in. On the upper tier of beams there were two plates 2 extending fore and aft to the top of the beams, rivetted down to the edge. There were shelves at the ends of the beams rivetted to the beams, with vertical plate next, with an angular iron rivetted to the horizon tal plate, and rivetted through both ; each tier of beams was so secured. The upper tier was secured by diagonal plates. There were plates rivetted to each stringer and upon each beam. On each deck strong breakwater way-pieces 14in. or 15in. square were bolted to the shelf-pieces and to the beams. There, were six standing bulkheads, and five of them were water-tight. They were made of tin. iron. At the afterprtrt of the engine there was a passage lead ing into the screw tunnel. There was no door or open archway. There was another watertight bulkhead immediately at the forestay of the stopping-box. This was further secured by a water-tight deck over it. These bulkheads were placed in the ship after she was designed for a screw. They were rivetted to the floor with angular iron. The ship was lengthened at the two ends. The work was well done, and more money was paid for it than I have ever kniwn given before. I have seen her in dock after her voyages, and there was not a rivet found loose. The iron was good. . The Court had not adjourned when our parcel was despatched. Trowbridge, the husband of the murdered woman, subsequently proceeded to Lyndhurst, in the New Forest, where the Magistrates were in petty ses sions, and Trowbridge there identified as his pro perty the hat, coat; boots, leggings, and umbrella found in the prisoner's possession. The coat was a blue one, which Trowbridge had had presented to him by the Sturminster Agricultural Society ; the buttons; however, had been cut off. Stains of blood were visible on the prisoner's clothes, which were forwarded to Mr. Herapath, the analytical chemist, for examination. Blood was found on Manzano's trousers, which he was wearing over those which had been stolen, and on his shirt, which appeared - to have been partly washed and there was a recently inflicted wpund on the middle finger of the man's right hand. During the prisoner's journey through the New Forest he called at a public-house kept by Richard Martin, at Fawley, and there sold the blue coat for 7s. He had first .requested to be served with 3d. worth of bread. Mr. Herapath, in his report, stated that there were on the trousers which he had inspected 12 distinct spots of blood, which had spurted upon the garment and had not been allowed to coagulate. Mr. Chitty said, from the explanation of the pri soner, interpreted to him by Mr. Steel, he believed that if his client were remanded he should be able to remove the suspicion from the prisoner to an other person. • The reporters Were compelled to leave Hindon in time for the tram via Salisbury shortly before tho proceedings terminated, but it Was understood that the prisoner would be fully committed for trial at the next Wiltshire assizes. Captain Meredith, the chief comtable of, Wilt shire, was in attendance to superintend the prosecu tion. M. Gonzalez Ferrer arrived at four o'clock with credentials from Sir R.'Mayne, having been directed by Sir G. Cornewall'Lewis, the Secretary of State, to proceed to Hindon and interpret the evidence adduced in the case. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, Nov. 23. MANSION-HOUSE.—Thomas Brooks, 21, was brought up for further examination upon a charge of having, on the lath of October last, forged and uttered a request for the delivery of a check-book at the London Joint-stock Bank, -Prince's-street, purporting to be signed by Mr. 11. C. Groom, merchant, of Lime-street. It had been previously deposed that the prisoner, when on his way to the police-station, after his ap prehension, threw his hat out of a cab window, and that upon the hat being picked up the check-book was found inside, with 23 of its original number of checks cut out. The prisoner was remanded in order to give time to trace these checks, which, it was stated, had been made the basis of as many forgeries. Mr. Clarke (Clarke and Morice) now appeared for the prosecution, and called additional witnesses. Mr. - H. C. Groom, of 9, Lime-street, insurance agent, said,—The prisoner was with me as clerk for about two years, and left me about four years since. When he was with me I had an account at the London Joint-stock Bank, and he knew it. The paper produced (thu request for the deli very of a check-book) was not written or signed by me, nor was it written by my authority, Prisoner—l wish to ask whether Mr. Groom thinks that is my writing ? • Witness—l can't say. It is very unlike the style you adopted when you were in my employ. Mr. Thomas Barton, advertising agent, 2, Tipper Wellington-street, Strand—l know the prisoner, who was in my employ for some time up to about 18 months ago. I have seen him write frequently, and I believe the request produced to be in his hand writing, as well as the cheque now produced for .£5 Bs., dated November 1, purporting to be signed, by J. T. Sarson and, Son T and payable to Messrs.-Moses and Son, or bearer, lal So believe the two other documents produced to be in his handwriting. (The first of these was an order for some clothes, purport ing to be signed by Messrs. Sarson and Son, and the second- was a note enclosing a-cheque in payment.) Prisoner---I should like to know how long Mr. Barton thinks it is since I left his service. Witness—l can't exactly remember ; but I know I had agood deal of trouble in prosecuting you for an offence precisely similar to this, and for which you were sentenced to twelve months' imprison ment. • Samuel Moss, assistant to Messrs. Moses: and , Sons, tailors, of .Oxford-street, identified thd pri soner as having preSented himself at Messrs. Moses's establishment with an order for clothes purporting to be signed by Messrs: Sarson and Son, and added that the porter who took hoMo the clothes to the address given, by the 'prisoner brought back a cheque for Xi - J.55., which was afterwards returned to Messrs. Moses , as a forgery. It is the custom of their house never to take cheques in such cases, and the porter had no right to take it. • Joseph Bedbarough, porter to Messrs. Moses, de posed that he carried the clothes spoken to by the former witness to 1 ; Great Polteney-street, where he sat the prisoner, who took the clothes, and gave him a cheque for £5 83. in payment, purporting to be signed by Messrs. Sarson and Son. The prisoner, who had been busily employed in taking notes, Said he should like to hear the witness state all that passed in conversation between them, and, befit told that he might ask - any questions he pleased to draw it out, proceeded to make a series of minute inquiries, which, however, led to nothing. • . Mr. Goodman (Chief clerk) here read the note giltn to this witness bytlio - peNo;Tier. It stated . that thete 11..Oveipaid b', Messrs. Sarson on a for-'1 met account, as Messrs. Moses Would find npiin re ferring to their hoOka; and that therefore the cheque for £5 83,,,w0u1d. settle, for the clothes, the bill for which amounted to £5,95. Mr. H. Sarson,.vinegar manufacturer, City-road, said—ln the course of the summer we give away, I dare say, I',ooo of the cards produced (on the back of one of which the order for clothes had been written) to any one who comes for them. Ido not keep an account at •the London Joint-stock Bank, and neither the cheque .produced, nor the order for clothes, nor the note which accompanied the cheque, is in my handwriting. I knoiv nothing about them nor about the prisoner. Mr. Hewitt, cashier at the London Joint-stock Bank i •said the cheque produced was one of those' • which was cut out of the cheque-book given at the bank in consequence of the forged order purporting , ' to be signed. ; by. Mr. Groom. • Mr. Clarke said there were numerous other charges of the same kind against the prisoner ;.but, as the present case had been so fully made out, he thought it unnecessary to proceed with any of the others. The prisoner, who reserved his defence, was then committed for trial. GUILDHALL. Mr. James M‘Kcnzie, the manager to Mr. Strode, gas engineer, of 3, Angel street and 16, St. Martin's-lc-grand, was charged with causing the death of Alfred Howell, a youth about 16 years of age; by the accidental discharge of a pistol in a workshop on the premises in Angel street. Mr. Humphreys, jun., of the firm of Humphreys, Son, and Morgan, of Giltspur Chambers, Newgate street, attended on behalf of. the accused, whose mental agony evinced itself at every,, part of the proceedings in which the result of the melancholy accident was referred to. Stephen Thomas Wentworth said—l am the foreman in Mr. ;:•trode's employ. Mr. Martin (chief clerk)—Does any part of Mr. Strode's.business necessitate the use of firearms ? Witness—No. sir ; but Mr. M'Kenzie had a couple of patents for inTech-loading guns.. The re volver produced belongs to a friend of Mr. M'Kenzie. Mr. Martin—At what time did the accident take place ? • Witness—At about 10 minutes to 9 o'clock last ;ght. We were all three—th a t is, Mr. M'Kcnzie, Le lad, and myself, in the workshop. Mr. Martin—When was th e revolver loaded ? Witness—lt was loaded at the time Mr. M‘lien zie received it. It came in a box, which was locked. We discharged all the five chambers, and reloaded them singly. Alderman llumpliery--Do you mean that you discharged each chamber as you loaded them ? Witness—Yes, sir, excepting the last two, which we intended rin against a double-barrelled pistol. .0 . We were increlY froing to test the penetration of the,bulict. Mr. M'Kenzie'discharged one lrarrel of the pistol, and I disc:tarn•ed one of the chambers of the resolver, and then told him to fire his second barrel ; but he said "No i give me your pistol and you shoot from thi:=," meaning the small double barrelled pistol. We then went up to the target to examine where my last shot had gone. Aldevman flumplicry—At what distance were you firing ? Witness—At half-distance, which would be about 14 yards. I complained that the little pistol trig ger pulled very hard, and Mr. .M..enzie said I had 'nude a mistake, as it nulled ns easily as the revolver. Alderman Humphery—llad . he the revolver in hishand at that time? Witneiis--dlcx had, sir ; and we were all standing close together in,frout cf the target, and in showing me how easily the revolver trigger - worked lie dis- charged the remaining, loaded chamber, and the charge entered the chest of the lad Howell. Mr. 'Martin—And I suppose killed him on the spoty ~ Witness—No, sir, he walked about 25 yards afterwards. Alder= Humphory-L:What he say? 'nerdy. exchkirned " Oh !". and laced .his h4n4 on his stomach,. I walked with him along the Workshop, and, finding - lie was fainting, I laid him on the floor, and Tan for Dr. Neale. Alderman Humphery—Has the body been ex amined, to ascertain if the bUllet passed thieugh Witness—r , btlieve not; 'butl think the bullet is still.in.tho-bodv. - • . • • -*-• Mr. Martin—gad there been airy ill-feeling be t*een Mr. Maenzie and the lad P • Witness—Not at all, sir.- They have always been on the most friendly terms. AldermanHumphery—Are the lad's friends re spectable P . - - Witness—Most respectable, sir, and they are in timate friends of Mr. M'Kenzie. Cross-examined by Mr. Humphreys—We have patents for breech-loading guns. The lad was a great favourite with Mr. Wlionzie, who kept him after working hours to teach him the working of what he was about. Mr. Humphreys—Were you so standing that if hou had been a few inches more f orwar d y ou would ave received the charge instead of the lad? Witness—l was, sir, for the bullet passed elose in front of me. Mr. Humphreys—Then I need hardly ask you if it was not pure accident ? Witness—lt was perfectly accidental. ,Alderman Humphery—ls Mr. Maenzie a mar ried man ? Mr. Humphreys—Yes, sir, and lives on, the pre mises: He i 5 a most respectable man. _ Alderman Humphery-L-It is a very serious and melancholy accident. Mr. F. Thorn, assistant to Dr. Neale, of 175, Aldersgate•street, said—l was called in to attend the lad Howell, and I found him in Mr. Strode's workshop. He was not then dead, but he was quite insensible, and died within three minutes after. Alderman Humphery—Where did the bullet en ter? Witness—There is a bullet wound in the centre of the chest, just over the stomach. Alderman Humphery—Then I suppose it vent through the heart ? Witness—l should think so. Alderman llumphery—lt is .a very unfortunate occurrence, but I cannot do anything further in the case until the coroner's inquest has been held. I shall therefore adjourn the further hearing of the case till Saturday. Mr. M‘lienzie was allowed to put in bail. B S TRE ET.—aiNGinous UrtcHiNs.— Three little boys, named Joseph Irish, James Kel sey, and James Woollen, the two former ten years each, and the latter twelve years of age, were charged with stealing from Covent-gaiden-market 12 oz. of a poisonous drug, called belladonna, and administering it to divers - other boys, whereby their lives were endangered. The case had excited a most painful interest; in consequence of the large number of children who had partaken of the, poison, and many of whom were now in a state more or less precarious. The court was crowded with anxious spectators, not a few of whom were parents or friends of some of the sufferers. Some time before the prisoners were placed at the bar; Mr.' M'Culloch, of the firm of Butler and M'Culloch, waited on Mr. Henry, to make a state ment of the filets, and to inquire Whether he could be held in any way responsible. Mr. Henry should certainly think not. When a person's property was stolen, he could hardly be held accountable for the use Made of it by the thief. Upon' the boys being placed at the bar, William James Lewington, porter to Messrs. Butler and M'Culloch, herbalists, seedsmen, &c., Covent- 6 arden-market, was called. He deposed= On Monday last I packed a hamper, containing two jars of belladonna, to go into the Country: The belladonna is-a sort of salve. " Mr. Henry—l suppose it was going to a'ehemist. - Witness—l do not know where it was going, -except that it was to some customer in the country. It was packed with straw and rough paper between the jars. Each jar was labelled " Belladonna— ppison," - and was wrapped in a . nOver of brown paper, and . one of slate-Coloured holland. The hatnper was secured with string, I left it outside the shop, to go away by the carrier that evening. That night I found the string cut; the - double cover of one jar cut open, and about 12 oz. of the bella donna gone. , It had been scraped out either with the fingers, or with a knife: I suppose they thought they had got seine honey, as we had been robbed Of some honey before. - Police-sergeant Felton, F 5, deposed—ln conse quence of information I received from the mother of a boy now lying in Charing-cross Hospital, I apprehended the three prisoners. There are now two boys in Charing-cross Hospital, one of whom is very dangerously ill. He has been in a raving state ever since he was taken in last night. The last I - heard of him was that there was no hope of his recovery. The other is getting better. They are about the age of the prisoners. There, is another in MiddleseX Hospital. Several have been taken away from the hospitals by their parents. About 17 or 18 have been suffering more or less from the effects of the poison given them by the prisoners. I apprehended Kelsey at the National School, in Brokers'-alley. He said, " I did take the stuff. A boy named: Irish cut the hamper, and took out some stuff from a jar, and gave it to me. We-stole a - bottle from the same place, and put some of the stuff in the bottle, with cold water from the pump in the market. (opposite Butler and. M'Culloch's shop.) .We thought it was Spanish liquorice: I tasted.it and it was sweet, 'bid I thought it was nasty, - like poison, so I . would not: take any more." He also .said, Woollen, Irish, and two others, ,were with him. Two of the boys who had taken.the stuff are' here. Sergeant,tlolmes, F 3 —l.tcok Kelsey to the hos pital to see one of the, boys. there, who was'thought likely to die. I considered . that it might be impor tant that he should identify Kelsey. It appears, however, that the boy was with them. He told the he saw them taking the stuff from the jar, and .he said, " you shall not have it all," and snatched froni them a portion, which he ate. lie is now deranged. One of the two little ,beys spoken of by Felton ther, who desired to thhis ni e vacant and bewildered havewas now ilim put swo f r o n r . w a F r r d o b in y : .appearance of his countenance he seemed hardly yet recovered from the effects of the belladonna. Mr. Henry---4 do not think that boy is in a fit state to be examined. He is not well yet. . . Felton—No, sir, he is not. Mr: Henry=lle ought not to' have been removed from the hospital. Holines—We did not bring Min here, sir. Both these boys have come here with their parents, who would insist on removing them from the hospital. Mr. Henry—You had better send him back again. The Boy-L—l was not with these boys. The Middle boy (Kelsey) asked me if I wanted some "Spanish." I said " Yes," and he gave me some. Mr. Henry—Did you drink much of it ? The Boy—No, sir, only a very little. • Mr. Henry—He will get over it. But I shall not allow him to -be sworn at present. Now, Kelsey, what do you say to this ? It is a very serious mat ter. You might have killed some of these boys. Kelsey—We thought it was '• liquorish." It was like jam. We made some " Spanish liquorish water" with it, and sod it to the boys for a pin. I tasted it and did not like it, so I was going to throw it away, when a boy asked me to give him some for a pin. I let trim have some, and he drank a good lot. Then he wanted some more for another pin, and I would not let him have it, but he drank alot more in spite of me. Then another boy took it and said it was " Spanish," and very good. So I had some more. Mr. Henry—You might have killed yourself, and the others too. Felton—These are three of the most notorious little thief es in the market: - Kelseyi lam afraid, has had a bad example set him at home. You may, remember, sir, that his father was formerly pier man at one of the boat piers. He disagreed with his wife, and they were separated. Mr. Henry- 7 —l remember the case. Hormes—Kelsey's father was the man who was killed in attempting to escape from the Great Eastern at the time of the explosion. He threw himself overboard to swim ashore. He had re peatedly saved the lives of other people from drown ing, as he was an excellent swimmer. The mother of Woollen here came forward, and said she had had a great deal of trouble with her son, who was a very bad boy. He was constantly in the habit Of going out to steal in the Market She had recently Mad e an a ppli ca tf o n at this court with a view to have him sent to a reformatory. She was to have bran ht him' before the magistrate on Saturday, but he ran away from home, and she could not find him. 311.. llenry—l think the reformatory would be he best place - for - them all.' They are just the boys ur FelthaM, and as I understand there - is room hc're at rncsent, I may probably send them there. Jaye they been convicted Mon: ? Pe.forr said they had not. 'Holmes—But Kelsey has' been remanded. He was one of' the four boys who were charged some time ago with stealing a donkey and cart from the market. They drove about for several days, and were' : at last taken at Highgate. They were remanded for punishment, and then allowed to go away. Mr. Irenry—l think the best plan will be to send them all to Feltham. However, I shall not do that now. I shall remand them -till we see whether any of the boys die, in which case I must await the result of the inquest. The prisoners accordingly stood remanded. CLERkEWEtL.—Smimus CIIAEGE AGAINST A COVAILNMENT CLERL—Francis •Fre*, of the MUBDBR - IN WILTSHIRE. Yesterday Serafin Manzano, a Spaniard, was brought before Mr. Graves and- a full bench of ma gistrates at the Hindon Petty Sessions, charged on suspicion of being the murderer of A nastasiaTrow bridge, the wife of George Trowbridge, at Ashcombe-, wood, in the parish of Tollard Royal, Wiltshire, on Thursday-, the 3d inst. The prisoner,is rather over 5 feet 7 mches in height, of slender build, with dark .complexion, and exhibiting a peculiar expres sion of cunning in his countenance. He declares himself, in imperfect English, to be a Spaniard ; that he has served for some years in the army - of the Queen of Spain ' • that - he has been travelling for some months in Wales; and that he obtained the clothes found upon him of a Pole, who had just come from Boulogne. Mr. George Chitty, solicitor, of Cann, near Shaf tesbury, appeared to watch the case on behalf of the prisoner. A letter received from the Home Secretary an nounced that an interpreter would arrive on behalf of the procecution at 11 o'cloCk, but, as he did not make his appearance, the proceedings were deferred until nearly 2 o'clock. Mr. W. R. Steel, from the Spanish Consulate-General in London, was then sworn as interpreter. The voluminous evidence adduced was in detail to the following effect : The prisoner was observed loitering about the locality in whiCh the murder was committed some days previous to the commission of the dreadful crime. "Alice Stingimore, the wife of Wm. Stingi more, of Alvedistone, was accosted by bim at half past-10 o'clock on the Sunday morning before the murder ; her little boy and daughter could not understand him, and when she went to the door he asked in broken English for a " bit of bread." He had with him a little bundle, which was tied up in a dirty blue cloth. Mr. James Stracey, bailiff to -Lord Rivers at Rushmore-lodge, saw him on Monday morning, the 31st of, Octobear, wearing a " wide-awake" hat. On the same day Caroline Parsons, the wife of an under-keeper in the employ of Mr. Grove; of Ashcombe-house, was asked by him for relief. ' On Tuesday morning, the ISt November, the prisoner was seen by George Kelly, John Bugden, and John- Abbot, residing in the neighbourhood of Berwick-St.-John. On each occasion he carried a bundle in a blue wrapper; Nothing appears to have been seen of him on Wed nesday, the day prior to the murder. Next day, Thursday, the 3d inst., Samuel and George Bench, father and son, observed a- man answering to the description of anzano, still with the bundle in his hand, about 300 yards from the cottage occupied-by Trowbridge ; he wore a " Jim Crow " or " wide awake" hat_ The cottage is in a lonely and-seques tered situation, on the borders. of Dorsetshire, but just within the county of Wilts. On the morning of Thursday Trowbridge breakfasted with his wife, and at 7- o'clock proceeded to .his work, half a mile distant. At 1 o'clock he returned to dinner; he found the door apparently fastened, and on looking through the window he saw his wife lying on the floor, in the midst of a pool of blood, with her head shockingly mutilated and resting against the wall. He gave an alarm, and Mrs. Parsons, a neighbour, was attracted to the spot. Entrance was gained by means of the back window, and on Trowbridge lifting up his wife he found that , many dreadful wounds had been inflicted upon her face-and- head; and that " her mouth was all in pieces." The handle o a razor was found near the 'threshold ; and the blade near the -front door. A saw was-also picked up in the room. A large box by the side - of the bed in the upstairs room -had been broken open,and a great many articles were strewed about the room. .There was no blood in the upstairs room. -Trow bridge discovered that two Coats, three waistcoats, a-pair of leggings, a pair of boots, and an umbrella had been stolen. Some of the articles had been taken off the bed and others out of the box. Mr. Foot, surgeon. of Ludwell, was called in,' and subsequently Dr. Richard- Spittle, of Cann, Shaftesbury, was requested by the police author rities to inspect the mutilated body.- The prin cipal injuries appeared to have been inflicted with the saw, which has an uniform thickness— rather sharp—throughout ; and they led to the supposition that the unfortunate woman had been knocked down and rendered insensible, and that the death wounds were then inflicted. Some of the teeth were completely knocked out ; the bones of the face were broken as -though they had. been beaten in ; there were three cuts on the left side of the face, and four or five on the right side. The cranium was cut through by the saw, and-the dread ful wound extended - down -into the mouth. The brain was smashed up into one mass, and the marks of the teeth had penetrated the cranium through_ the interior table of the skull. he only wouri ;T which appeared to have been inflicted -by the razo _ _ was a cut on one of the knuckles; . wheic the cart lage was divided very clean. - The saw was produced in court—it was a large handsaw, to which human hair and blood adhered. There was no blood on the blade of the razor. Mr. Foot was of opinion that death had not taken place more than two or three hours before he was called in—in fact, the body was not quite cold. The outer door of the cottage was splashed with blood, showing that at the time of the murder the door was open ; the splashes -pro ceeded from below and went upwards. There were large quantities of blood extending several yards from the door, and it appeared probable that the injuries were perpetrated close to the door, and that the body was dragged to the place where it was dis covered before life was quite extinct, as the poor woman was found with her head leaning against the wall and her arm resting upon a ch a i r . After the murder the police were immediately on the alert. Superintendent -Harris, of Hindon ; Pilbeam, of Lvndliurst ; Matthews, of Salisbury; Baynton, of , Ntirinborne • Hare, of Shaftesbury ; Watts, of Bland- ford; Brown, of Dorchester; and liales, of Ware- ham, scoured the country night and day in search of the murderer% The next that was seen, of him was about one o'clock on the 3d inst., a couple of hours after the commission of the dreadful act, when Mr. Thomas Shears, while riding along the turnpike-road, observed him going towards the Blandford toll-gate, at a distance of four or five miles from Ashcombe.. He appears to have pro ceeded thence to Wareham, across Dorsetshire, into Hampshire, through the New Forest, and thence to Ifythe, where — he was apprehended by Ser geant Cook, an active officer of the Hants constabu lary, on Friday morning, the 1 lth inst. The man must have travelled in the night-time to elude the vigilance of the police who had turned out to effect • his capture. En route he disposed of a pocket handkerchief to a labourer named Green, at Dole's Ash, Piddletrenthide, Dorset, at 12 o'clock on -Fri clay, the day after the murder. A fustain w tist coat he sold to another man, accounting for its wet condition -by asserting that. he had slept under a haystack during the rain. At Church Knowle, the following Monday, he disposed of another waistconst and a necktie to John Jefferys, who gave him 2s. for them. All trace oP him was then lo,it on the Tuesday. Wednesday, and Thursday. Oa the Friday morninr , Police-sergeant Cook ob served him on board the steamer .r.tTI3 the, a vil lage on the south-westeu. bank of the Southampton water. The officer crossed to Southampton with Manzano in, the steamer, and when he attempted. to land on the quay he detained him, and conveyed him sack to the police-station at Hythe. The clothes which Manzano was wearing , proved to be . t those which had been stolen from -r, rawbrido•e's 0_ cottage. The prisoner gave his name as Serafin Slanzano, and in reply to the sergeant said he came from Boulogne ' pointing to a figure 4 in a boa when asked the day. Information having been forwqrded to Hiudon, Superintendent. Huis, and THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVEN NOVEMBER 24, 1.859, . . Mail-office, General Post-office, and Paradise place, Richmond, aKienrcd' - bafore - Mr. •Tyrwhift to answer the complaint of:Mr. John Evans, solici tor, of 10, John-street, Bedford-row, which charged the defendant as follows :—" For that he did un lawfully obtain, by means of a certain false and fraudulent pretence, of and from the said John Evans an order for the payment and of the value of £2O, his property, and with intent to cheat and defraud him thereof, against the peace," &c. Mr. Sleigh attended for the prowcution; and Mr. Talford for the defence. Mr. Sleigh opened the case at some length, and quoted the cases of the Queen v. Fry and the Queen v. West, as particularly bearing upon charges of this sort. The defendant, who was placed in the felon's dock, was, upon the application of his counsel, allowed to be seated in the misdemeanant's dock. Mr. Evans, stated—The defendant was intro duced to me by one of his friends. It was by letter, which was dated July 18, 1859. I had a conversa tion with him at my office., He asked me to ad vance him the sum of £2O. I was very busy, and asked him to call again next day, the 19th, and he did so. I declined on the 19th to lend him the money. He said he was in the General Post-office. He said he was a clerk, and that his salary was be tween £Bo'and £9O, that his father was a rich man, and that he made him a very liberal allowance. The De'endant—l could not have said that. Mr. Evans—Either his father or his friends. I said I corild not lend him the money, as how could he pay me £2O out of so low a salary, and I could not go to his friends. He went away, and on the following day, the 20th, I was surprised to see him again. The defendant apologised for call ing after my refusal, but stated that from what he knew of' me, and from what his friend who introduced him had said, he felt satisfied there was some particular reason for my refusal, and asked me the reason. I told him I did not like the chan nel through which he was introduced, for the fact was that the same gentleman had introduced a young man from another- public office, who got various sums of money out of me, and that when I applied to him for payment he set up bis infancy. The defendant said, "I think I know who that young man is, and he must be a blackguard fellow. I hope you do not think lam under 21." I looked at him steadily, and said, " I did not think so of the other gentleman." He said, "I assure you lam 23 years of age. I want the money particularly to go _ into Wales. I rely upon getting it from you from what my friind stated, and as you will be sure to get your money back, pray let me have it." He began to tell me 'who his friends were, but I stopped him. I said, " I rely upon you as a gentleman. I believed him to be 23 years of age. Upon that I lent him 120; stopping £1 for professional atten dance, and was to charge him £5 per cent. interest. I would not have-parted with my money had I not believed him to be of age, legally competent to enter into a contract, whether he was in a public office or not. He promised, when he received his salary, which would be in about six weeks, some portion of the money on account. He did not keep his word, and I wrote him some letters. In conse quence of his not calling, although he wrote a letter saying he would do so, I entered an action against him in a superior court. The defendant pleaded infancy to that action, but neither the pe tition nor the affidavit is produced. Mr. Tyr Whitt (to Mr. Sleigh)—What you want to show is that the defendant went through the phantasmagoria of showing who his next - friend is. Mr. Sleigh—Yes. Mr. Baron Watson granted the rule. Mr. Talfourd, before cross-examining the witness, said he had an objection to make:and that was that the infancy of the defendant had not been proved. Mr. Sleigh said he had proved enough for a re mand. Mr. Tyrwhitt—The_question . is, whether enough has not been done for a remand ; or, if a remand was granted, whether prinza facie evidence could not be produced that the defendant was not of full age. There -is enough for a remand, for the case could not be completed that day. Mr. Talfourd contended that the evidence was in favour of the defendant, for the statement 'that he was twenty-three years of age was found to be from his own lips. Mr. Tyrwhitt : —The remand is asked for to see whether that is the fact or-not. Mr. Talfourd—yes, but there is an action pend ing upon the same. question, and the complainant denies that the defendant is an infant. Mr. Sleigh—He is bound to do. that. Mr. Tyrwhitt-- - Then there are two horses run ning on parallel courses—a case in the Court of Queen's Bench, and one in this court. The complainant, in cross-examination, said he would not haw advanced the money if the de fendant had not stated that he was - twenty-three years of age. He did not rely upon the other per son who had pleaded infancy, but upon Mr. Daley, who had introdneed the defendant. No one was present when the defendant said he was twenty three. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the defendant, but agreed to accept one bail in the sum of £2O. The defendant was then removed, and in the course of the day bail was put in, and the prisoner left the court. ME INQUISITION. (From the llforniriq' Advailiser.) A small item ,of news of intense significance ap peared in our telegraphie intelligence of last Thurs day morning. It was simply this:—The Governor of. Bologna has decreed the ;suppression of the tri-, bunal of the Inquisition." This is one of the stances which shoe how sometimes a great, fact may be communicated :in a few slain words. suming the correctness of the information, all that such a decree includes can never be fully appre ciated by any living man; even those who are intimate with the 'bloOdstained history of Popery from the beginning of the thirteenth century to the end of the seventeenth, can realise it only in part ; for the unwritten atrocities of this horrible Court must be imagined, as a, sequel to what is actually known, before the appalling story of the Romish Inquisition can be at all apprehended. Be yond all question this awful tribunal is the most gigantic iniquity that ever oppressed mankind. British Protestants of the present.day seldom think of the priceless freedom from liability to torture and death, under the hands of priestly tormentors, effected for them by the overthrow of Pap a l sit. , premacy in these island§ ; and if they are indifferent to the sleepless efforts o f Romanisin to regain that lost supremacy,. they may discoVer the unutterable value of Protestantism when it is a day too late. We sound no needless alarm, as our colimris every day furnish evidence that the emissaries of Rome are making systematic efforts to plant on English soil a system which has long desolated Italy, which the Italians are determined to shake off for ever the moment they can stand upon their feet as freemen, and one of whcf , a peculiar institutions the Governor of Bologna has just resolved to abolish; and we bring no accusation against living Roman Catholics when we say, that the history of the In quisition is amore terrible indictment of Romanism than all the charges brought against it by Luther, Calvin, and Knox. - Be it understood we are not speaking of re:igious dogma at all, but of the fact that the Church of Rome, dominating the State, usurped and wielded the powers of the civil magis trate, for politico-ecclesiastical purposes, in the much•abused name of our benign Christianity, and in so doing horrilly plagued the nations of Europ e with on institution w hi c has never been equalled in tormenting cruelty—the Tribunal of the Inqui sition. That is all we say, and it may still more deeply determine the ftiends of Italy to abolish the temporal power of tho Pope—without which, of course, an Inquisition is impossible—and the friends ef Protestantism, to retain their present freedom pure and simple, without foreign alloy, if we briefly refer to a few facts and figures in proof of our as sertion. This iniquitous Court was instituted in the year 1203, by Pope Innocent 111., :lid a few years afterwards Gregory IX. extened its powers, and placed it under the control of the bishops. Shortly after this, however, that amiable pontiff, thinking the bishops too merciful in the exercise of their in quisitorial functions, committed the operations of the tribunal to the cruel hands of the Dominican friars. The thin , gradually grew in merciles s seve rity,' the clerical butchers setting themselves to discover new modes of torture for their hapless vie tints, while terror and consternation spread through out Europe on the intelligence of this awful insti .tution, respecting which Pope Paul 111. declared that it was "the only means of destroying v heres" and the only fort of the Apostoli c S ee. " • Crimes against morality or humanity were light end trifling, but to filler in opinion from a priest to doubt the infallibility of the Pope, to express a d sire for the reformation of glaring abuses,cr to in- - sinuat? aught against th e p er f ect i on of the Church, was an inquiry to be visited with the dire penalties of the Inquisition. Innocent 111 ,exiorting his servants to destroy the Waldenses, ' said, " We ex hort you to destroy the wicked heresy of the Albi genses, and to do this with more severity than you would use towards the Saracens themselves. 1 3 - • seeute them with a strong hand.; deprive hem ' o l f . houses and lands, and put true Roman Catholics in their places ;" and tog ive the s anc ti on o f re li g i on to this f e r oc i ous command, he assured the persecu tors that their conduct would be highly pleasing to God, and that, as . tlie reward of their obedience, their sins should all be forgiven. Pius V., writing to the King of France in 1569, counselled him to destroy all. the enemies of ti e Church, to tear them up by the roots, and not to al low the.smallest fibre of a root to remain. To the infamous Catherine de Medici he wrote, " Pursue the enemies of the Catholic religion until they shall be all massacred, for it is only by the entire destruc tion of the heretics that the Catholic worship can be restored." All this time the inquisitors were busy with their deadly work, and deeds were done on the persons of men, women, and children, at the bare recital of which humanity instinctively recoils. This is not the place to enter into the harrowing details; but a few general facts will convince the reader that the blood of millions cries for ven geance upon the Romish Inquisition. Its victims were generally seized at dead of night, and hurried to the loathsome ' dungeoas with the greatest se crecy, and without being informed why they were arrested, while their frirnds were often denied the melancholy satisfaction of seeing them. Cardinal Ximenes was Inquisitor-General for 11 years, dur ing which time 53,000 persons received his sen tence of condemnation of whom about 3,600 were burned to death ; yet this very man was extremely simple in his habits, and spent a large portion of his enormous income in works of charity and in the promotion of learning ; and his great work, the " Complutensian Polyglot," is the type and forerunner of all subsequent ones. During the 16 years Torquemada filled the office, more than 10,000 persons were burned alive, and more than 97,000 were sentenced to lose their property or perish in the dungeons of the Inquisition. Llorente says the victims of the Inquisition in Spain from 1481 to 1808, that is, three centuries end a quarter, were more than 341,000, or an average of 1,040 personsevery year of that very long period, of whom not less than 30,000 were burnt to death. And the thing has come down to our day. There aro men in this city who can give you some idea of the Inquisition from painful personal experience. We all remember some of its doings against the patriots of 1848, after Louis Napoleon had restored the Pope, and with him all the apparatus of the Church to,power. An eloquent priest, Ugo Bassi, who had protested against the clerical despotism under which Italy has so long groaned, was dragged, with others, before this holy tribunal. And how did it use him ? After divesting him of his priestly character, as his judges pretended, and before delivering him over to the Austrians by whom he was shot, they skinned the palms, fore fingers, and thumbs of both his hands ! In one word, many million of human beings have been destroyed by this diabolical Romish Inquisition, and we wonder not that the Italians are eager to -deAroy it and all of which it forms part. But will this heaving of the breast and panting of the soul of a nation ready to spring into liberty, and which has so far sprung into it as to decree the abolition of an infernal machine that has been at work for six centuries and a half, be much longer all Owed by the Dictator of Europe ? Will the man who says, in truly Imperial style, before summon ing a Congress to dispose of the destinies of nations, " The part of France is traced beforehand," permit a nation struggling for freedom, and to which he promised freedom—but that, between ourselves, is neither here nor there—thus to destroy the play things of the Pope and Cardinals, and to endanger the, very existence of the Church whose infallible head he has promised to succour in case of any dun gei to the triple crown ? 'We fear that the Impe rial policy, traced beforehand, is very unlikely to hailmonise with the ideas of liberty entertained by the Bolognese patriots, and as Victor Emmanuel is. no longer an independunt 'Sovereign, but the Vice regal representative in Italy of the Emperor of the French, we must not yet' congratulate the people of Central Italy on entire deliverance flea' the tyranny of which the Inquisition is the suggestive symbol.
