An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered ract i t i on ers shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new edition of `Self-Preservation,' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. in cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits. indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, 'hardship, or by injudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other squally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct.' —Lomion Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

Just Published, price la., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps, SECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

" ll \ 41' i P HEALTH OF LONDON DUBIN WEEK. liag (From the Registrar-General's Report .)' The deaths registered in London, which were 1,175 in the previous week, declined to 1,141 in the week that ended last Saturday. In the ten years 1849-58 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,234 ; but as those now returned occurred in a population which has increased, they can only be compared with the average raised in proportion to that increase, namely, with 1,357. The result of the comparison is satisfactory, for it appears that 216 persons our . vived who would have died last week if the average rate of mortality for the latter part of March had prevailed. The number of children born last week exceeded the number of persons at all ages who died in the same period by 801. Scarlatina was fatal in 63 cases, diphtheria in 14. In the two previous weeks the numbers referred to the latter disease were respectively 19 and 15. The 14 deaths from diphtheria now recorded, as curred in sub-districts as follows : St. John Paddington 1, Chelsea South 1, Belgrave 2, All Souls Marylebone 1, Rectory Marylebone 1, Is lington West 1, Hoxton New Town 2, Hoxton Old Town 1, London-road 1, Battersea 1, St. Paul's Deptford 1, Plumstead 1. Small-pox carried off 7 children and 6 adults in the week. Seven of these cases were registered in the sub-district of Islington West, all of which occurred in the Small-pox Hospital. Four deaths from measles occurred in St. John, Paddington. The deaths caused by bronchitis were 105, those by pneumonia (or inflammation of the lungs) 66. Both diseases exhibit a mortality , considerably below their corrected averages, which are for the former 145, for the latter 103. Three cases of child murder are returned. The oldest persons who died in the week are two widows aged 91 and 93, two men each 95, and a man, 98 years. Last week the births of 961 boys and 981 girls, in all 1,942 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1849-58 the average number was 1,653. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.938 in. The readings varied from 30.21 in. to 29.75 in. The mean temperature of the week•was 46.1 deg., which is 4.1 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). Oaths last two days the mean daily temperature was 9 deg. and 7 deg. above the average. The thermo meter fell to its lowest point, 34 deg., on Tuesday, and rose to its highest, 58.2 deg., on Friday. The range of the week was therefore 24.2 deg. ; the mean daily range was 12.3 deg. On Sunday the range was as much as 19.6 deg. • on Thursday it was only 9 deg. Th e difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 7.4 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 76. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 48.1 deg. After noon on Monday the wind blew generally from the north-west. The rain-fall was 0.17 in., all of which took place on Monday. PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD.

John Parker, aged 55, a farm labourer, was charged with the murder of a gamekeeper, named Thomas Eatough, at Whalley, near Clitheroe, on the 14th of December last. Mr. Monk, Q.C., and Mr. Kaye were counsel for the prosecution; and Mr. C. Foster defended the prisoner. It appeared that on the night of the 13th of De• cember last the deceased and five other gamekeepers were out watching, when they saw some men get over a hedge into a field, the property of the Rev. S. M. Whalley, called " Dewhirst's Meadow," in that gentleman's preserves. They followed, and one of the poachers was heard to exclaim " Blaze into 'em ! shoot 'em !" and another knelt down, presented his gun at the keepers, and drew the trigger. The cap exploded, but the gun did not go off. The keepers then rushed upon the poachers, and a desperate affray took place, in the course of which the deceased was so severely beaten about the head that he died on Christmas-day. Another of the keepers had two of his ribs fractured, and the others were more or less injured. The prisoner was recognised during the affray by one of the keepers, who called out, " What, Jack Parker, is't thee ?" The gun, which missed fire, was found in the field on the following morning, and was identified as belonging to the prisoner. Three of the poachers were apprehended shortly afterwards, and were tried at the recent assizes at Lancaster. The prisoner made his escape, but was subsequently apprehended in Westmoreland, where he was working as a navvy. While being conveyed to Clitheroe he twice at tempted to throw himself under the wheels of the railway carriages, and when in the lock-up he stabbed himself four times in the abdomen with a spoon•handle which he had sharpened. At the close of the case for the prosecution, Mr. Foster raised the objection that the places named in connection with the affray were in the northern division of the county, and therefore the committal ought to have been to Lancaster. Under special circumstances the magistrates had power to commit from places in the northern division to Liverpool ; but in this case there was no proof of committal by the magistrates under the statutory authority and that of the Order in Council relating to the division of the county founded thereon. His Lordship said he would consider the objec tion, and, if necessary, reserve the point. Under the direction of his Lordship the prisoner was acquitted of murder, and the jury . , after a long consultation, found him guilty of manslaughter. His Lordship sentenced him to ten years' penal servitude. The prisoner's daughter, who was in court, a Foung woman respectably dressed in black, moaned Atterly, and almost fainted on hearing the sen tence. very horrible case, and he could not conceive how a woman could have cut up the body of her infant in such a manner. He did not believe there was any ground for supposing that the child had been born alive, but still it was a very bad offence indeed, and he felt it his duty to order her to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 18 calendar months. CIVIL SIDE. (Before Mr. Justice Wightman and a Common Jury.) CHURLEY V. WILSON. This was an action brought by Mary Rosetta Churley to recover damages from the defendant Joseph NVilson, for a breach of his promise to marry her. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Hance were for the plaintiff; Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Raymond were for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action was the daughter of a " general dealer," which turned out to mean the purchasing of old iron, rags, and bones, and other articles of a similar description, and who carries on her business at Kensington, the plaintiff assisting her mother in the shop. The defendant was de scribed as a merchant, but it seemed that his occu pation was to travel about with a horse and cart, and purchase small remnants of cloth from tailors, which were afterwards sent down into the north of England and worked up again ; and it was stated that he carried on a very extensive business of this character, and had amassed some property. Both parties wore of about the same age, the defendant being 24, and the plaintiff about 22, and they were introduced to each other last August, and within a few days after their first meeting the defendant made an offer of marriage, which was accepted by the - plaintiff, and the defendant afterwards Visited the family upon the terms of a suitor, and it was understood that the marriage was to take place very shortly. Things went on well until the month of November, when it appeared the plaintiff and the defendant had a quarrel, and shortly afterwards the latter wrote a letter, in which he stated that upon consideration he had come to the conclusion that they could never live happily together, as the plaintiff had a ha i sty temper, and his own temper was also hasty ; and the letter concluded by stat• ing that, as their acquaintance had been so short, breaking it off would occasion very little trouble on either side. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff- Damages £5O. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—TAUNTON, March 28. (Before Mr. Slade, Q.C.) Henry Cave and Joshua Hicks were indicted for highway robbery, with violence, at Wraxall, on the night of the 22d of December last. Mr. Bailey conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Stone defended the prisoners. It appeared that the prosecutor, Samuel Free man, who was an attendant at the Longwood-house Lunatic Asylum, in Long Ashton, near Bristol, left Longwood-house about a quarter before six o'clock in the evening of the 22d of December last to go to see his brother, who lived at Wraxall, a village near there, and about six o'clock, when he had walked a mile on the road, Cave came out from a hedge at the side of the road, and, with a large stick, struck him across the head. It did not stun him, but knocked his hat off. Freeman thereupon screamed " Murder !" when immediately Hicks and another man sprang out from the hedge, one seiz- 1 ing him on one side and the other on the other. The three men then dragged him to the side of the road, turned his pockets inside out, and finding only some letters, keys, postage-stamps, and a penknife, cried out, " Where is it—where is it ?" The prosecutor replied he had no money at all with him, or he would give it to th em . Th e y then kicked him and left him. There appeared a good deal of blood about the road. He gave information and a description of the dress and general appearance of the men to the police. About half-past 5 o'clock the same night a boy saw the two prisoners together near where the violence was half an hour after committed. He had some conversation with them, and he also subsequently gave a description of the same men to the police. From the description given of the prisoners they were apprehended on the Sunday following, and in the presence of others the two prisoners were selected and identified by the prosecutor. The boy also saw and identified both as the men he had seen together near the place, and about half an hour before, where the robbery and violence were committed. The jury having found the prisoners guilty, His Lordship said he quite concurred in the ver• dict, and it appeared to him to be so serious a case that he should sentence the prisoners to eight years' penal servitude. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—MoNmounr, March 29. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) Matthew Francis, 26, tailor and hawker, was charged with the wilful murder of his wife, Sarah Francis, on the 12th of March, 1859, at Newport. Mr. M'Mahon and Mr. H. Matthews appeared as counsel for the prosecution The prisoner had no counsel, but, at the request of the learned judge, Mr. R. Kettle undertook his defence. The court and avenues were densely crowded with people, anxious to hear the trial, and among the rest several ladies took their seats in the gallery. The prisoner, when called upon to plead to the indictment, appeared very pale and downcast. He stepped forward and pleaded not guilty, both to the indictment and coroner's inquisition. Mr. M'Mahon then rose, and applied to the Court to postpone the trial till the next summer assizes, upon the ground that a material witness, Eliza lawkin, was not in a fit state to be examined. He moved on two affidavits, one made by Mr. Great wood, a surgeon, and the other by Thos. Hawkins, the husband of the witness. Mr. Justice Crompton asked the prisoner's coun sel what he had to say to the application ? Mr. Kettle said he had no objection to make. He believed the statements in the affidavits to be true. Mr. Justice Crompton said that, under the cir cumstances, he felt bound to put off the case. It was material to the interests of both parties that the witness should attend. Mr. M'Mahon—She is the principal witness. Mr. Justice Crompton then made an order put ting off the trial to the next assizes, and enlarging the recognizances of the witnesses. The prisoner, whose appearance in the dock caused a thrill of excitement to pass throtgh the court, was then removed. THE MURDER AND SUICIDE AT WESTB.ROMWICH. An inquest was held here on Monday evening, before Mr. G. H. Hinchliffe, coroner, on the body of Mary Ann Corbett, a married woman, who was murdered on Friday night, in one of the streets of this town, by John Corbett, her husband, who afterwards inflicted upon himself similar injuries of so serious a nature as to render his recovery im possible. Elizabeth Adams was the first witness. She de posed that she was the wife of aminer of this town, and that a week before the deceased's husband came to lodge at her husband's house, where he was liv ing at the time of the murder. She had observed no difference in his behaviour from that of a sane man. On Friday he returned from his work be tween 6 and 7 o'clock. He was sober, took his tea, and washed and dressed himself. Afterwards he took his clasp knife from his pocket and the steel from the fire side, and sharpened the knife. Wit ness asked him what he was going to do with it. He replied, " Nothing but cut my thumb nail, which is broken." After that he stopped in the house some time talking to witness's husband. When he left the house at about 8 o'clock, she asked him where he was going, but he did not reply. Some time after my brother came in and said that Corbett had cut his wife's and his own throat. Went to the house to which they had taken him, but did not see him till Saturday morning. He muttered something, but witness could not tell what he said. While at witness's house he never used any threats. Did not appear excited when he went out on Friday night, nor had he been drinking the week before. Maria Hodnett, sworn, said she was the wife of a plasterer. Knew the deceased, whose husband was a miner, and had been married four or five years. During this time they had separated more than once, selling their furniture, or parting it between them. The last separation took place 9 or 10 days before ; and on that day week he took away his furniture the last time. Last Friday night she met him in the street, and spoke to him about giving up the key of his house. She had been requested to speak to him by the landlord, and told him that that gentleman would take the key from him upon his paying a week's rent. He said, " Is not my wife a pretty - ?" She replied, " Those are best who have nothing to say between man and wife." He then said, "I have been at work i m hell all this day." She replied that he ought not to believe all that was said, for she did not. He asked where his wife worked. Witness replied that she did not know, but directed him near to " Hudson's Chapel." He added, " I should like to speak to her two words—about two--and then I shall end my mind. lam in debt up to my neck." He went away in the direction of the chapel in question. Half-an-hour afterwards she heard of the murder. He appeared dreadfully agitated. His eyes started out of his head, he walked fast, clawed in the air with his fingers, grated his teeth, said " that he had got that on his mind that nobody could tell, and that he seemed to be walking to --- hell, and that at every step he got nearer it." He added that he had heard a great deal that day. Went into a house, told them what she had seen, and cried. Never saw a man in such a state in her life. Sarah Clansey was next called. Deposed that she was the wife of JosephClansey, apuddler. Last Sun day night week, at midnight, Corbett came to her house, where deceased lodged, earning her livelihood as a nailor. He kicked violently at the•door and demanded admission, and afterwards said he was Mrs. Corbett's husband, and wanted to see her. Witness called Mrs. Corbett, let Corbett in, and Mrs. Corbett went down to him in the kitchen. Witness returned upstairs, but heard Corbett say " Come and live with me ?" She replied, " I never shall, Jack." He said, " You won't ?" She replied, " No, not to-night ; I never shall." He said, "Do you want to die ?" She said, "No, lam not pre- pared." He responded, "Do you see this ? We have both got to die." Witness called out from her bedroom, " Oh, Mrs. Corbett, do go with him ; don't you hurt her, Mr. Corbett." She cam e up and said, " Oh, he has got a knife that long." She went away with him, saying she should be back soon. She came in at four the next morn ing, afterwards said she should never live with him this year. Last Friday evening he came to witness's house, looked at her and his child, seeming to be searching for his wife, but left without saying any thing. Nevertheless, from his manner it was clear that he was very much excited. On the morning after the deceased went away at night from wit ness's house, deceased told her that when they got to their house her husband fetched down a pillow, stretched himself on the settle, and swore himself to sleep. He also showed her a knife, she said, and threatened her. Before that time deceased told her that he used to remain out with dissolute girls, come home at one in the morning and ill-use her ; that on the last occasion of their separation he came home in the night, dragged her out of bed, took her, and threatened to throw her downstairs, and then, while she had scarcely any cloths on, locked her out of the house for three quarters of an hour. Sarah Bird deposed—l am sister to the deceased. She was 27 years of age, and had been married to Corbett for five years. They had two children, but lived together very uncomfortably. They quarrelled in consequence of jealousy on both sides, and twice separated. On the first separation they lived apart for five weeks. The second separation commenced a fortnight to-day. I cannot tell what was the cause of the last separation. They went to live at dif ferent houses. He somewhere near the Cross Keys, and my sister at Mrs. Clansey's. She worked at the back of the Hen and Chickens. I did not work with her. Her lodgings were a few hundred yards from where she worked. I was at my mother's shortly before eight o'clock on Friday night, when Corbett came in. He was in an awful passion, and asked my mother if Mary Ann had been there. Mother replied, " Yes, at tea time." Ile said he wanted to see her a few minutes to say a few words to her, and then turned out of the house. He went down the entry, but I did not see which way he went. Mother then told me to go and tell Mary Ann to get out of the way, as she thought he in tended to beat her. I had to go about 300 or 400 yards. Saw my sister, and in five minutes she came away with me. We came by the Hen and Chickens, and along Reform-street in the direction of my mother's, because she said she would go there. When we got to the Hen and Chickens we saw Corbett come from behind a wall opposite. He came towards us. Never spoke to either of us. I saw nothing in his hand. He took hold of my sister with one arm round the neck, and cut her throat on the left side. Her head fell on my shoul der. I then led her across the road. I did not know what he had done, as it was dark. When we had got across he came to her again, lifted up her head from my shoulder, and nut her throat again. I then felt the blood run down on my hand, was dreadfully frightened, and screamed " Murder !" as my sister had before when he first cut her and her head fell on my shoulder. The blood streamed down both our clothes and dropped off the bottom of my shawl. When I screamed " Murder !" Corbett ran away. I helped my sister some short distance further. She begged me twice not to loose her. We neither of us said any anything to him. I took her to near Grainger's house. John Harris, her brother-in law, took her off my shoulder, and took her to my mother's, where she was placed on a sofa and died in about half an hour. Before she died she several times begged for mercy. That was all she said Mr. Kite, surgeon, was sent for. I saw nothing more of Corbett. The murder was done very quickly. There was no more evidence produced; and, as Mr. Kite said that it was impossible for Corbett to recover, the proceedings were not adjourned. The Coroner summed up, showing that this was a plain case of murder, and not manslaughter ; and the jury returned a verdict to that effect. The Coroner then formally committed Corbett. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. • SCINDE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at their offices, Gresham-house— Mr. Andrew in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has been already published, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN proceeded to move its adoption, congratulating the shareholders upon the prospect of having the railway concluded in the course of next year, as all the permanent way material had been shipped for Kurrachee. Indeed he might extend the congratulation to their having actually completed and opened a small section of the line between the landing-places and the workshops at Kurrachee. They had every reason to believe that the traffic of the line would be satisfactory and re munerative. The Indus flotilla, too, could not but bring a great accession of business to the railway, and he was happy to say that the experiments which had been made 'with. the passenger boat and with the trains were eminently successful, and it was satisfactory to learn that the new Government of India had consented to guarantee 5 per cent. upon whatever additional capital they might re quire to complete the flotilla. The motion having been seconded was, after a short discussion, adopted, and the retiring directors having been re-elected the proceedings terminated. SOUTH WALES MINERAL. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Victoria-street, West minster ; Mr. J. N. Foster in the chair. The Secretary read the report, which stated that the works of the line had progressed without in terruption since the contract was entered into with Messrs. Toole and Morris. The western section of the railway from the tunnel to the docks would be opened for traffic next autumn. The tunnel was progressing as rapidly as the nature of the works would allow. It was gratifying to the direc tors to be able to proceed so far in their operations without having to make calls on the general shareholders, th e coa l company having found the means for carrying on the works. Several important coal fields along the line had been let and others were opening, which would tend to increase the security to the shareholders for the payment of the guaranteed dividend. The capital account showed that £50,762 had been expended. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, sanctioning the payment on the 30th April next of the guaranteed interest on the capital at the rate of 51 per cent. per annum due up to the 4th instant, authorising the directors to borrow £28,000 on debentures, re-electing the retiring directors and auditors, and voting the former £lOO for their services during the past year. The meet ing then separated. [ADVERTISEMENT.] 7 --Holloway's Pills.—Disordered sto mach, torpid liver.

They ran thus to the distance, where Lifeboat took closer order, and Zuyder Zee soon after retiring, the sun was reduced to a match between the first two, Shafto having much the best of it within a few strides of the chair, where Lifeboat collared him, and won a fine race by a neck; about eight lengths between the second and third, and nearly as wide an interval separated the third from the fourth ; Tournament was fifth, and upwards of a dozen lengths from him Fisherman was sixth.

Hibbard drew the lot up in a line, and dropped his flag to an admirable start. Pan showed in ad vance, closely followed by Paul Jones, Bevis, Gladiolus, Precious Stone, Little Agnes, and Harraton. These horses held the foremost positions with scarcely a perceptible alteration until rounding the Bricklin turn, about three quarters of a mile from home, when Paul Jones threw out signals of distress, and soon disappeared from the front, leaving Precious Stone with the lead, hotly pursued by Bevis, Harraton, and Courier. Beacon, who had been lying in the middle of the ruck, drew forward at the last turn, but soon afterwards went right out. At the distance Bevis headed Precious Stone, and in a few strides further llarraton took his place at his side, and the race resolved itself into a match between the first two, Bevis winning easily by two lengths. About 20 lengths off Gladiolus was third, and at his neck was Yellow Rose, fourth ; Precious Stone was fifth, Queen Bess was sixth ; Courier, Little Agnes, and Pan formed the next lot ; and behind them were Blue Jacket, Beacon, and Skirmisher.

A discovery surprising, if true, of a horrible murder is related by a Belgian journal of a recent date, of which we make a summary :—Two brothers, Israelites, set out from Gyek, with a view of placing their two daughters at a boarding school in the town of Grosswardein. During the night of their absence the youngest daughter, aged 10, whe was left at home, woke up her mother sud denly during the night, and crying bitterly, de clared that she saw her father and uncle and all being murdered. The mother for some time took no notice of the child's declaration, but, as she persisted, and would not be pacified, she began to be alarmed herself, aid the next morning took the child before the mayor of the town, to whom she declared her dream, stating at the same time that the murderers were two men living in the neigh bourhood, whom she deliberately pointed out, and further added that the murder was committed at the entrance of the forest, on the road to Grosswar dein. The mayor, after receiving this revelation, thought it prudent to make inquiry about the two neighbours indicated by the child, when they were discovered to be absent from home. This suspicious circumstance induced the mayor to • despatch some officers to the forest alluded to by the child, who discovered the horrible spectacle of five bodies extended on the ground, which were those of the brothers, the two daughters, and the driver of the vehicle in which they all took their departure. The corpses appeared to have all been set on fire, so as to prevent their identity, and the vehicle was nowhere discovered. This horrible tragedy led the officers to examine the whole neighbourhood, when they fortunately pounced upon the two neighbours at a fair not distant, as they were in the very act of changing some notes on which some spots of blood were visible. On being seized they immediately confessed the crime, and on the child's dream being revealed to them acknowledged the finger of Providence displayed in their capture. This wonderful dream on the part of the child, and its fulfilment, excited an immense sensation in the neighbourhood.—Jewish Chronicle. COUNTRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL—MARcH 29.

Mary Jones, 19, a good-looking young girl, was charged with the wilful murder of her female ille gitmate child by cutting its throat. No counsel was engaged either for the prosecu tion or the defence. The prisoner was in an almost fainting state during the trial, and appeared to be hardly conscious of what was going on. The evidence against her lay in a very narrow compass. It appeared that she was an unmarried woman, and that she lived in the house of a person named Ede at Hambledon, near Godalming. She had been seduced, and was in the familyway, and about the month of August last the people about her suspected that she was in that condition, but the prisoner always denied the fact. On the 27th of August she was taken very ill, and a neighbour named Gell made some mint tea for her, and upon going into her bedroom she at once suspected that she had been delivered of a child. Blood was seen to be issuing from a box that stood near the pri soner's bedside, and a knife covered with blood was lying on the floor. Upon the box being opened, the dead body of a full-grown female child was dis covered, with the throat cut, and everpthing in the box was completely saturated with blood. Mr. Chandler, a surgeon who was called in, upon ex amining the body, ascertained that the wound in the throat had been inflicted from the right to the left hand, and it was of such a severe character that death must, in his opinion, have been instantaneous, and he expressed himself confidently that the infant was born alive, and that death was the conse quence of the wound. The prisoner subsequently admitted that the child was hers, and said that she had used a knife to divide the umbilical cord, and that she put the child into the box because she did not know what else to do with it. The prisoner, in her defence, sobbed out a few unconnected words to the effect that she was in such agony at the time that she did not know what she was about. The learned judge having summed up, the jury, after a short deliberation, found the prisoner guilty of wilful murder, but at the same time strongly recommended her to mercy. Mr. Baron Martin, having put on the black cap, addressed the prisoner, and said that the jury had felt themselves compelled to find her guilty of an offence for which her life was forfeited, and, although it was no doubt very painful to them to be compelled to do so, still, upon the evidence be fore them, he really did not see how they could have given any other verdict. The jury had strongly recommended her to mercy, and he would take care that that recommendation should be for warded to the proper quarter, but at present the duty he had to perform, and a most painful duty it was, was to pass on her the sentence which the law affixed to her crime. Offences of this character were unhappily very prevalent, and he hoped that her unfortunate example would be a warning to other young women, and that if they sinned in the manner she had done they would learn that the proper course for them was to communicate with their fri en d s an d i n f orm th em o f th e i r condition, and not endeavour to conceal their shame by an act of this dreadful character. The learned judge then passed the sentence of death in the usual form, and the prisoner, who fainted when he had con cluded, was carried out of court insensible. Mary Ann Adams, 29, was charged with unlaw fully endeavouring to conceal the birth of her illegitimate child. I'tr. Lilley was counsel for the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was in the service of a gentleman at Dulwich, and that she was de livered of the child in question inFebruary last. It seemed that a man had been employed to empty a cesspool upon the premises, and in doing so he discovered the foot of a child in the soil. This led to further search, when the body of an infant, cut into no less than 27 pieces, was found concealed about the place. The prisoner admitted that the child was hers, and that she had disposed of it in the manner stated, in order that it might not be discovered that she was in the familyway. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Mr. Baron Martin said that this was really a v— act.
