THE ARMY. The annexed circular re4pecting re'ig'ons instruc • Von in the army schoZ, has been ic.sued from the War-office : , ",Sir,—The Secretary of State fir War having decided t alter the 'erms of art. 38 of the Army School Regulations of July, 1857, so as to separate that part which relates to religious instruction from that part which relates to the general attendance, and at the same time remove any doubt which may exist as to the perfect equality and freedom of members of all religions denominations in respect to the former, I am directed by Major-General Peel to forward to you the enclosed regulation which is to.be substituted-for the article in question. "I am to take this- opportunity of adding that Major-General Peel is of opinion that it will tend to promote the efficiency of army schools if, in every regiment and garrison where there is no local assistant-inspector, it be made the duty of some one officer, besides the orderly officer—if possible one who will voluntarily undertake it—to visit - them periodically during the hours of attendance, and to call the attention of the commanding officer to all circumstances which he may observe, or whiCh maybe pointed out to him by the schoolmas tie bs susceptible of improvement. If the matter is one which cannot be remedied by the influence and authority of the commanding officer, the monthly school reports furnish him with the oppor tunity of calling the attention of the Secretary of State to it.—l have, &c "B.

No secular instruction, wh, ther literary otinduitrial, is to be carried (n in the same room during its employment for the purpose of religious instru Another trial of the 36 inch mortar was made yesterday morning in Woolwich Marsh. The ex periments comnr need at 11 o'clock and term:nst,d at 1.30, with a charge of 50ib. of powder, &c., which obtained a range, as on form-r occasions, o f about 340 yards to each 101 b. of powder. A minute examination of the wedg-e, keys, rings, Jrci. having been made and pronounce' " all right," a sec:md charge of 691 b. of powder, &e., was introduced. The second round, like the firs*, vial highly success ful, the range in this ins ante exc e - ling 2,000 yard., the shell al;ghting beyond the butt, in a ditch which seplrates the marsh from the adjoin;ng property, and c-elting a tremendous eruption of water, black earth, &c. Accorclin (2 to the prescribed arrangement of adding 101 b. of powder to each suc cessive charge, the third round contained 701 b., and although the monster gun had stood th I first two rounds well, an additional r'egree of can ion bras observed by everyone prer , ent to stand clear of its proxi►ni►.y the instant the match was iyuited. The effect of the third roan I was less successful, as one of the steel cotters bri,ke asunder, and was ren dered unless ; but as the former experiments had shown the necessity of being provided against a similar casualty, the broken key was replaced, with some sight delay, by a second, wrought of malleable cast iron, suppcs , ..!d to be more durable. _ The mortar was then reloaded with an 801 b. charge, and fired with apparent success, the shell again mounting high in the air and taking a fl;ght over 2,758 yards, con-iderably exceeding a mile a half. The el -vition of the mortar was frequently varied, and 'was ultimately reduced from 48 dew. 30 min. to 45 deg. At this stnge of the proceedings it was f until impossible to carry on the experiments, as one of the main stays intended to secure the various segments cfqtstitut ing the barrel of the mortar was b - ok-n, and one of the principal wedges or cotters, a foot and a ba:f in I,lngth, had escaped. The bugles were then sounded, and Lieutenant Walton and the detach ment of mounted orderlies and sentries under his command in charge of the range were cilled in and matched off the ground, and. a committee was formed to consult on the expediency and practica bility of a cmtinuation of the trial on s•ume future OCC4BIOD.

The Lords of the Admiralty having directed a new 22 gun screw corvette, to be named the Or pheus, to be laid down at Chatham dockyard, orders have been given for all the available hands to be employed in her construction, that she may be completed with all despatch. She is to be built from designs by Sir B. W.

BANKERS' CHEQUES. I The feud between the law officers of the Crown which crippled the law reforms of the late Govein ment appears to have been entailed upon their suc cessors. That which the Attorney-General pro mises in the Lower House the Lord Chancellor upsets in the Peers. The Bill of Sir Fitzroy Kelly on bankers' checks was io its original form a simple measure, which not only fulfilled the wishes of the mercantile comtrunity, but also was in harmony with the general principles of the law of England. It provided that a crossing on a check should be deemed an essential part of the document, and, as t logical consequence, that a banker paying a check in disregard of the crossing or after it had be- n tam pered with should be Tesponsible for so doing. A emeedment Wet proposed, in toe in er.'s s of :he bankers, that if it should !um ou• tent the cross ing had been dexterously o'diterated no hale:lily hetild attach to them. This was in a greet degree to damage the entire measure, because it la , s been rtcently shown that crossings can be eased so as to escape ordinary ob eteratlona joint-st .ck bank having availed itself of the plea to throw the lost- from such a circumstance ou its cm otner. Bet, aeomalons t.s it was—since, if bankers are to I.e exonerate 1 from the consequences of paying do coment s a t , r they have been tampered with in a manner wbielt amoueti to fora. ry, acceptors of hills, and parties to eve: y other kind of instrument, should likewise be exonerated in similar cases, where a special indorsemeut or a signat ur • of any kind has been expunged—the colleagues of the At terney- General appear to have taken frigle, and to have threatened him with desertion unless he would all w his measure to he defaci-id, and be come a party to placing upon the statutes-took another discordant and unmeaning ace The amendment was therefore accepted witheut a struggle by the Government, and the b inking class were thus conciliated at the same cost of pr nciple as when a f rimer Ministry exempted then from reseonsibil , ty in paying cheques with for g ed in dorsements. But the 1,500 leading firms of Lon d .n who had petitioned for :he bill in its integrity were not likely to reit:l,in quiescent, and there was acme t-ille of an endeavour being yet male to re store it to its ratonal form. The Government cell seqtr ntly, of er having been frightened by the bankers, were now in turn frightened by the public, end nude: th-se circumstances Mr. Nicoll, the tit mber f TFrome, obtained a virtual promise ft om the Attorney-General that the obnoxious clause should be resisted in the Lords. Hence the bill was allowed to get through the Lower House. Last night it came on in the Lords, and the Geste' re went, instead of fulfilling their intimation, turned round and absolutely recommended the clause in the stronzest way. "It should always be borne in mind," observed the Lord Chancellor, " that a c';eck which got into dishonest hands got there through the negligence or fault of the person who drew it. - In the great n - tajori y of cases the broker could not protect himself but the cus'omer could." The whole of this statement, which is a reproduction of some Fainted platitudes circulated by the bankers doting the past month, is directly at variance with f 'et. As to the drawer of a check being able to protect himself, if such were the cuss there would he n o teed to cross a check at. all. Checks are eres , ed for the very purp-se of gu:arcling against those acci dents whi;li the Chancellor says cannot take place without negligence. They are sometimes stolen from the post, sometimes mis•ipp:opriated, and sometimes lost. A men centeet answer that a letter cont-icing a cheek shall not I e pueleined,, or that he will never bs robbed while he bee a check in I is pocket, or that a confidenial clerk will net abscond. But while the Chancellor says the holder of a cheek can protect himself, be cot, tends the bauksrs can do nothing for their own security, and that t - e re cognized principles of law must therefore be set aside for their behoof. To this headlong and unguarded assertion the reply is—first. that bankers can make themselves pet fec ly safe by the adoption of tinted paper, a precaut'on not in the power of their cu tomers who use the checks sup plied to thew ; secondly, ha' the tanking interest, by resorting to a mu nal guarantee-fui:d : may avert all danger except suds as would he utterly insigui fican,, but which, falling rip•Ni individuals, nrght lead to ruin ; and, finally, that if they do not. find their profits suftLient to cover even this nominal risk, althou.h joint-stock b •nks are declaring divi dends of more than 20 per cent.., they may give notice to their customers to that effect, and eitee r refuse their accoun• s, unless they are to be held free from such liability, or deaide upon making an insurance charge. There was no occasion, there fore, to introduce confusion into the law in order to suit their convenience. Of course they would not have adept-d any cf these de ernativt s, because the statistics of b erking show that the risk compared with their gains would not he worth a thought, and it is only a few weeks since a private firm ex pressed gratification that it was a joint-stock and not a private bank which had resorted to what it considered the shabl:y practice of not accepting voluntarily evety respensitiility that could fall i;i this way. Looking, therefore, at every feature of the case, it is not too much to say that a more paltry or objectionable piece of legisietion was never wtt nessed, and that the manner in which it has been carried reflects discredit upon all concerned.— Times' City Article. SAVINGS BANKS. The report of the Select Committee on Savings / Banks was issued yesterday, and describes the incoherent state of the law with regard to them, And also the manner iu which their funds have been habitually moved from stock to Exchequer-bills, or vice versa, to further the financial projects of each Chancellor of the Exchequer for the time being. When it is desired to facilitate a re-issue of Ei c h e _ quer-bills nothing is easier than to sill a portion of Savings Bank stock and invest it in those secu rities, so as to sustain their price. In the same manner means were obtained to pt omot e the reduc tion of the new Three-and-a-Half and new Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. in 1835 and 1844. The unfairness of such operations is beyond question, since they sLeiply amount to a use of the means of one portion of the public to prejudice the property of anot her portion. 'The moneys of Savings Banks' depositors are not placed with the Government to enable them to play so as to compel the holders of a certain dez,ct iption ofsto , kto accept a red uction of in t ereat, or to induce people t hold Exchequer-bills by creating temporarily the appearance of a great de- , mend for them. The Government might fairly sot in this way with any balances in the Exchequer, but they have no right secretly to use trust funds for such purposes. Of course the old result has taken place, and these contrivances have led to a large deficiency, which must ultimately lam made up by the nation. It is satisfactory, therefore, that the Committee recommend that the superintendence and management of the general funds of the Say ings Banks slu , uld henceforth be paced under a distinct commission of five memb -rs, who are to be pr , hib ted from making any purcholes or salee, excep. such as may be requisite in the legitimate exercise of their tune ions. Tie Committee seem to disEent horn the proposal that Governm, nt should assum e the liability to make good the money of depositors in cases of defalcation, but suggest i ns t ea d that the liability of trustees shall be revived. Neverthel ess , if the Govern ment have anything to d o w ith such concerns, t.teir connec tion with tl em will evidently operate as a snare.

(From the Derbyshire Courier) The Bank Acts Committee, after long delibera tion, have just published to the world, in the shape of a lengthy Lilt meagre report, their total incom petency to deal with the question of the money laws. Like the end of " Rasselas," the committee's is a " conclnsion in which nothing is concluded " A more " lame and impotent" affair was never pre sented to the public as a parliamentary document. n the Times writer is obliged to confess that " it would have been more creditable to the financial repute of the nation if at the end of their labours the committee had found, themselves imbued with ideas definite enough to enable them to speak with a voice of unflinching authority." In short, the report is a total failure. Not only is it "wanting in that comprehensive vier= which would alone pet an end to future cavil," but it. is altogether so feeble and hesitatin g i n it s tone, that it leaves the question of the currency more than ever open to public discussion. The report, indeed, might have been framed for the very purpose of pro voking further inquiry and investigation on the subject. It says as plainly as possible, on blhilf of the 11 members who voted for it, out of the 25 composing the committee, " We don't know what to think about the matter. We are not pr reared 'to recommend anything. We are afraid . o move lest we should take a step in the wrong direction." The timidity of the committee is indeed pitiable. The Bank Chatter Act having been twice suspended in ten years by the Ministers of the lay, the commit. tee recommend the "utmost caution" to the Legis lature in granting a "relaxing power." At present, as every one knows, when numbers of solvent and well-conducted mercantile houses have been ruined and the Bank of England is brought to its last sovereign, the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer wrote a hurried note to the Go vernor of the Bank authorising him to act illegally, i.e. to issue more paper promises to pay, when the Bank can find no more gold to fulfil its existing engagements. Of this illegal proceeding the Mini , - ters take the responsibility, and appal to Parlia ment to indemnify 'hem. To obviate the necessity for the farce of appealing to Parliament, it has been proposed that the Ministers of the clay should nos s-as a" re axing power." i.e. a power to unmake a certain Act of Parliamentwhenever in their opinion its provisio‘ns cannot be carried into effect with safety to the public good. The bankers of Londov, wi' h only one or two exceptions, were so fully cot - vii.ced 'hat the Act of 1844 could not be carrie I out, char they petitioned at the time of the passing of the Act that this relaxing power might bo given 'o Ministers. Piel, with the conceited self-suffi ciency of presumptuous ionorance, neglected the uggesrion of the men practically acquainted with the subject And now after 14 years' trial tileC,m mit tee for B.nk Acts have nothing better to sug gest in 1858 than the London Bankers proposed in 1844. Bet even this ptltry modification they have not confidence enough in their own principles to advocate with cisioo. We sh4ll return to the full consideration of the Report ; but in the meanwhile we recommend the e.vid.nce to the examination of our readers. Much of it is merely m , tier of detail as to the manage : went f the Bank, much is the mere speculation of certain theorists about currency ; but there is else a considerable mass of valuable information and fact, and some sound principles elicited, from able th nkers on this important qu• stion. If the committee had effected nothing more, it would have been us ful by placing upon record the statesmanlike and scientific exposition of monetary prin , tiples which was submitted to the committee by Mr. C tyley in his report ; and also the sound, judicious,and lame . ical report of Mr. Spooner. Both thess gentlem-n have ably and unflinchingly done their euty to the public, and have b idly and 1 er severingly advocated the great principles of cur rency reformation with which their names and re putation are identified. There are a few poor waver ing imbei ilea whom currency reformers were in duced, by their professions of sympathy with the good cause, to trust, wbo have deserted us in the hour of trial. Their names will, in good time, appear. In the mean' imo the committee's report does the cause of the bullionists no good, and the came of the currency reformers no harm. The question is left entirely open ; and with a great and imprrtent national question left open, we may hope that truth and jestice will ulimately prevail. We rejoice to think that as one generation of currency refoamers is passing away, their pla-e will be supplied by another, full of energy and courage, who are prepared to devote themselves to the rd -10, mition of the greatest social and political griev ance that ever oppressed a free nation. MILITARY DEFENCES OF BELGIUM. The discussion on the proposed addition to the for iticatious of Antwerp c:unmencsd en Mo-day last in the Belgian Chamber of Representatives. Gstteral Bertin, the Minister of War, explained that the object of the project was to covtr the actual plate by an outside line of forts beyond the fauliourgs; and consisting of an irorenched camp and of a series of forts so built as to he able to support each other, on. a system to allow the place to hold ut successful!y against a long siege. The Minisier olj-eted particularly against any extension of the eciu,tl city, which would result in bringing . the out skirts into the line of f rtaficai ions, instead ofp!o -tectit,g it by the external line of fiats already owed. Moreover, the extension would involve an outlay of 45,000,0001., at:d it.could not b. , done unless toe population of Antwerp gave pecuniary assistance. Tie Minister refuted the idea of a wis, to be able to concentrate the whole army within the walla of Antwerp. Tile idea of the Government was, that in case of invasion, which is never absolutely on for seen, the armyshouldbe enabled to keep the field as long as it could hold its ground successfully, and that it could fall back, iu case of peed, upon Ant werp,' which would then become the cen sal and sole point of the national defence of the country. After some technical explanations in opposition to the ideas of the Central Section, the Minister ter minated by rej _ding the conclusions of the repott, which tended to a general enlargement of the place, and supported, in the name of the Governmen . , the jest which prop. ses— "l. A paitial eulai gement of the actual enciente by carrying it further north, so as to include the new docks and building yards. " 2 The suppiession of two of the detached forts recently built in a bad posi ion, and to replace them by other feu ts forming part of the dorible line of deft nee proposed beyond the faubourgs,” M. Lobs, the Burgomaster of An:w,rp, endea voured to slum that the defence of Ant wr rp could only ba made with the general enlargement. H e drew a d:shearteniug picture of the fate rts.erved for the town if the defenders of the int] encbed camp and of the forts should be deft ated. The forts would then serve the enemy to bombard the city, and the enemy, elated with success, would pillage the town. He reprcached the government for hav ing made the question of the general enlargement of Antwerp a simple question of money. He quoted the exNmple of what the French Governm- nt had done for the enlargement of Havre. The assistance of the town was limited to the debaolition at the expense of the supposed enciente in such guise that the sale of the ground lots reduced its expense to a very small sum. Why should the Belgian Govern ment be more exacting as regards Antwerp? M. de Reness (Left) proposed an amendment to this effect :—" In case the Government should receive advantageona offers of money for the execu tion of the great enciente not coming from the Treasury the Government should be authorised to negotiate with re serve o f t h e concurrence of the city of Antwerp and the approval of the Chambers." M TH lEFFRY (Left) ad m itt e d th e poss ibili ty of a suddeninvasion. I aly and Spain werethere to show that when France thought it suitable to invade a country, she lost no time about it. The country should, therefore, be prepared for defence. The best means certainly was to have a stronghold upon w hi s t the army might f a ll back, anti of such strength that it could hesucceAsfully defenilsd. He O pp ose d the plan of fortifying Brussels. The cost would be enormous. Such a plan would necessitate the Go verumsnt to suppress all the other fortresses. The partisans of the plan pretended that the centralisa tint, of defence elsewhere than in the capital would leave the latter at the mercy of the enemy and of agitators, and while the army was d e f en d ing Ant werp a revolution might break out at Brussels, and hand over the country to the invader. Su c h d anger was simply an illusion. A revolution was n o t to b e feared in a country which appreciates its institu tions, and which was governed by a prince who respects the laws. The capture of the capital only entails the loss of the country in lands where the inhabitants had not sufficient national spirit and energy to defend themselves in detail. Madrid, Lisbon, Moscow, had been occupied by French troops, but this did n o t p reven t the armies of France being compelled to evacuate Spain, Portugal, and Russia. The national character of a people was , f.° r bast &fence. To prove the necessity of the general enlargement of the enceinte for the defence , :f Antwerp he pointed to the system of the foitifi .• rti ns of Paris, whel e no expense was si axed to ftrot.tt the city by a continuous line of de cn::e.

LONDON, THURSDAY SUMMER ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT.-MAIDSTONE, Jim 28. Crown Sit'e.—(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) Char!es Haynes, 21, soldier, was indic►ed for felony iu being at large before the expira ion of a period of penal servitude to which he had been sen tenced. __ _ _ Mr. Deedes and Mr. Poland conducted the pro secution. It appeared that the prisoner was convicted at the Midd' esex see sions in February, 1857, of felony, and that at this time there was a previous convic tion for felony against him, and he was serrenced to be kept in penal' servitude for six years In pursuance of that sentence the prisont , r was re• moved to the Model Prison at Pentonville. where he remained for a year, and he w; s then sent, with a number of other convicts, on board the True ion- c , nvict ship, t ) be conveyed to Bermuda. The prisonAr contrived to make his escape from this ve , sel at De r tford, and enlisted into one of the cavalry regiments, and on the 10th of June he was seen at Chatharn, and it appea•ed that he•wen). up to a ci ustll 2 le and surrendered himself as an escaped convi. t The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Barcn Bram Nell, in passing sentence, said the prisoner hid been at large for four months, and he ehou'd now t*:creforo order him to be kept in penal servitude for the further space of four years and seven month . _ _ _ Thy prison r said he hoped he should not, under year over again at the m thi o s d s e e l o p te r n is ce a , L have w pass a The learned J dge said he appr ehe n ded not. That period would be taken into account. James Morris, 20, was it , dicted for the man elan bter of Philip Redwood. This oharge arose out of a prize fight that took place on the 26th May last, between the prisoner and the deceased, in the Essex Marshes. The latter was conveyed to Gravesend in an insensible state after the stru_ gle, and he died about half an hour afterwards, the cause of drath Icing an effusion of bb od upon the b , a n, occasioned by the injuries he t ad receive] during the fight. Mr. Ribton addressed the jury for the prisoner, and he endeavoured to show that the deceased might have received some injuries in the course of his removal from the place where the fight occurred to Gravesend, which, it appeared, was a distance of several miles, and that it was not suffi ciently clearly eittablished that the injuriL s were in the' ed by the prisoner. • Th- kiry je:urned a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced t two nwn,hs' hard labour. NORFOLK CIRCUIT —IPSWICH, July 28. (Before Lord Campbell.) MITRDER, AT IPSWICH. Ebenezer Cherriugton was charged with the wil ful murder of Susanna Studd, in the parish of St. Mary in the Elms, Ipswich, on the 30th of April. Mr. Keane, Mr. ft Mills, and Mr. Marriott, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Desent for the prisoner. Toe circumstances, as opened for the prosecution, were as foil ties :—Some three or four years ago the prisoner entered the service of the husband of the .celeed, a baker in Ipswich, and remained so em ployed for ab mt a year. A good deal of assistance was rendered by the decsased in carrying on the baking business, and the prisoner was consequently thrown into her society. After he had been about a year in the service of the prosecutor, the prisoner left, but he came back again to the neightour hood arterwat da and renewed his acquaintance with the family about December last. A few days alter ward the pi osecutor, on coming home one ewnin found the prisoner engaged in a scuffle with his wife ; and on his asking what was the matter, the prisoner firing a teapot and other things at ldm, and then, turning to the deceased, exclaimed, " your heart, l'll murder yen." The pros.,cutor ap pl el for the protection of the magistrates, and the prisoner was taken before them and imprisoned for about r.ix weeks. At the expiration of that time be came again to the prosecutor's house and staye.l there, taking his meals with the family, and sleep ing at night on the floor of the keeping -room. This lasted some li tle time, and he again went away. A few days afterwards he mate his appear ance sgain, and lived as before. On the 20th of April he came for what mey be called in this narrative the last time. At this date the prosecutor was occupy ing a baking office, about 300 yards from the cottage in which his flmily resided. On Monday, the 26th of April, the prisoner was at the prosecu t is house, and he remained there on the Tuesdav, Wednesday, and Thunday, taking his meals with the family ast , efore. On the Fridgy he presented hitimelf d liner, but the deceased told him he tetorild h.,ve no more dinner there. One of the daughters, Emily Studd, who was in the 11AI:tit of going out to work, left the prisoner in the honse about one o'clock. On her returning about five o'clock he was not there, but about 11 p.m. Le came back and made an effort to get the poker from the side of the fireplace. The ail pushed him from ti.e p. ker, and 801130 hsr I words were after wards exchanzed between the prisoner and the de co *see?, the former ht ieg t-xtrernely violent. The de ceased went to fin I a pc lie !man, and while she was gone the re isoner with a piece of wood struck the girl who went out • o es,tai_e from him. The pri-oner then left the house, t ekireg with him a large Indian war climb, given to the fro , ecutor as a curiosity, and went to the house of a Miss Sampson, a dressmaker, with whom one of the daught ers of the deceased resided. The family hal gone to bed, and he called out to Miss Studd to go home, as her mother was ill. Miss Stud'', however, recognised the prisoner's v o i ce , and refused t o go , upon w h ich he made use of erea cuing 1 ingusge t o h er . Th e prisoner then met with a person named F..ir weather, and from conver sa ti on w hi ch passe d between them he appeared to be extrem e ly angr y against the deceased, swearing that he would mur der her if he was hung at leswieh for it. Fair weather accompanied him to tbe house of deceased, who had been, to the police station, and for whose protec in a pol:ceman had been debac`ied. The deceased threw open a window, and a good desl of al ercatiou took place between her and the prisoner, who succeeded in getting into the house, when he went up-stairs and made a great dieturbance. Fairweather, at the request of decease 1, also pro ceeded up stairs and brought the . prisoner down. When he was down stairs, prisoner asked the de ceased for money and eectuals, and these being re fnsed, be made an effort to strike her. Fair Weather prevented the blow from taking effect, and carried the prisoner out. A dispute then took place b tween him and Fairweather, in which the prisoner received on the-fore head two blows, which lacerated the skin. After this Fairweather contrived to get him away, and promised to give him a bed, his supper, and his breakfast ; but when they reached Fair weather's house the prisoner suddenly turned round and ran off. Fairweather followed him, accom panied by a policeman, and when they got to the house of the deceased they found that the door of the back kitchen had been thrown off its hinges and was lying en the floor. Voices were heard in alter cation up-stairs, and tbe policeman and Fairweather celled out.; but from soiree answer which Mrs. Studd made, they came to the conclusion that their services were no longer required, and they accord ingly went away. The prisoner had in the mean time forced himself into the bedroom, where he seized a stick and again threatened to murder the deceased. The prisoner remained in the bed room with the two women, who had not gone to bed, for the remainder of the night ;and a wretched scene of altercation was kept up between them till about half-past five in the morning, when he went down stairs. The deceased followed almost imme diately, while the daughter remained in the bed room, from which she heard the prisoner walking about below, and her mother go out. The prose cutes., the husband of the deceased, had been in the habit of sleeping in the baking office, and was there during teis night. About 20 minutes to six the deceased went to the baking office to get some kindling, as she was in the habit of doii g, brit she did not speak to her husband. Shortly after her mother's return, the daughter heard a sound as of firewood beginning to burn, and of coil moved about in a grate. Then she beard her mother she head a blow struck. Screams followeee, she say, "Put it down," and immediately afterwards ran down stairs, and found that the prisoner had left the house, while her mother was lying on the floor bleeding, and quite insensible. A bent poker (whichhad been straigh ) quarter. A about. A surgeon was sent t f b o e r b r e l w t a ii s also e lying deceased survived only about an hour and a severe blow had been inflicted on the occipital t-one. A number of witnesses were examined on behalf of the case for the prosecution. The jury, after a lengthened deliberation, found the prisoner guilty. Lord Camphell passed sentence of death in the usual form, holding out no hope of mercy. The prisoner sobbed frequently during the trial, but received his geutouge with tolera'.le composure. ,zeri c. a Fsa.rrt,,; ND : ' t il i T it, r e F r O ty ll , ifilignil: and INDIA.—We are not writing non the privil;gts of free. !nen.

Mr. Bo skit, app,ared for the prosecution, in struAed by Booth and Blakenc (Surr y-s , reet, Str , nd) ; and Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. Hum phreys, for the prisoner. Mr. Slegh—l appear in this case, my lord, for the pr sorer. I was not here on the first tecasion, but after going through the ma' ter wii h Mr. Hum phreys, by whom I am now instructed, and who then appeared on the prisoner's b,half, I have no wish to thraw any obstac'e in the way cf sending the case to a higher tribunal for decision. The pri soner himself is most anxious that the case sl'ould undergo the fullest inquiry. and we are therefore willing that it should be sent to a jury ; the only application I have to make be!og. th a t Mr. Stevens may, in the meantime, be admitted to hail. My learned friend (Mr. BAkin) will, I believe, offer no opposition to this course, and I hope you, my lord, will consent to its being adopted.

GUILDHALL—Edward Thomas Baker was brought up before Alderman Hale on remand, eha,ged with obtaining cis to the value of 581,; trader fAse pretences, with intent to deftaud Mes is. Paw:.on and Co., of St. Paul's-church yard. - A professional gentleman attended on behalf of the pros. cu ors, and stated that the prisorier's father felt a liitle aggrieve I that the prisoner should have been allowed to have the goods without the rcgular authority, but he must explain that one of Me,sis. Pawson'a warehousemen met the prisoner, and wrongly urged him to buy goods, and it was upon that inducement the prisoner entered the ware house. His father had assumed the debt, and had undertaken to set le it in the ordinary course of business, and it was not, therefore, Messrs. Paw son's wish to press the case any further. Alderman Hale said when the case was last be fore him he had a very strong opinion with regard to the prisener's conduct. He was satisfied that the prisoner went to Messrs. Paws.. , n's for the pur pse of obtaining goods to sell, with the view of squander in; away the proceeds in the most extra vagant frivolities and with the company in which he was found, and which any rt spectable young man would be ashamed to be seen with. He quite expteted the present course would be adopted; but in discharging the prisoner he strongly im pressed upon him the danger of the evil courses lie appeared ro have fallen into, and advised him to abandon all his late comp:ui ns, and to keep a careful guard upon his e nduct for the future. The prisoner, who is respeeta' ly connect -d, and displayed great contrition, was then dis charged. . . _ The Lord Mayor—But the case was remanded for further inquiry, and not merely for deciding upon the committal or discharge of the prisoner. Mr. Bodkin—The facts are all out, and the evi dence remaining to be given is prin , dp.Ally formal. Mr. S:eigds—So I understand, and we shall bo perfectly satisfied if a copy of the remaining evi dence is furnished to our solicitor, as it is purely foro.al. Mr. Bodkin—Oh, I don't mean to say that I shall confine myself to the assertion that the evi dence I have to produce is nrere:y formal, for Mr. Rooke himself has made some omissions which he des'res t i supply.
