POST-OFFICE ROBBERY. - _Marti): _Vomier, letter carrier, 712 G.P.0., was charged before Mr. Henry with stealing a letter the property of the Postmaster-• General. Mr. John Gardner, a senior clerk in the Post-office, said the prisoner was a letter-carrier. He delivered letters in Rosornond -street-walk, Clerkenwell. There have been a great many applications for morning letters addressed to persons in that district. I received directions to test the honesty of the prisoner, and accordingly yesterday I made up a letter containing a half sovereign, an American half dollar, a silver coin called a dime, and six penny postage stamps, all of which I had previously marked. The coins were fixed to adhesive gum paper, and the whole having been marked, the letter was fastened up and directed to " Mrs. Green, 13, Lloyd's-row, Clerken well." The letter was given to Willis Clare to post, and it would come into the prisoner's hands for delivery at 12 of the same day. From certain information I received I called the prisoner into my room and asked if Lloyd's-row was in his delivery; he replied yes, and then I told him a money letter which ought to have been delivered to Mrs. Green was missing. The prisoner said ho knew nothing about it. The police-officer was in the room, and I directed him to search the prisoner, and he took from his pocket Bs. 6d. in silver and some copper money. Mr. Clare afterwards showed me half a sovereign, which was the same that I had enclosed in the letter. I asked the prisoner if he had changed any gold money that day, and he said he had not. I asked him if he knew the Hope and Anchor, in Lloyd's-row, to which he replied, yes ; and said he recollected that he had changed a half sovereign there. I told him that half sovereign was the one that had been in the marked letter, and asked him hov be got it. He said not out of the letter. I told him I should be able to prove that the coin was in the letter he had to deliver, when he remained silent for a few minutes, and then tossed up his head, and said " four years." He was then locked up. 1; 1* g d 1 11d Q 9 lto d pr d pr 93 99 101 102 261 271 85 51 53 58 (2 48 52 48 52 96 97 , 11d d 21 lid' 131 13f 7 did' 100 102 WO 102 100 102 92 94 83 85 ' 93 94 86 88 I; 18d1 5 7 5 7 99f f 2G 7 Mr. Willis Clare proved the posting of the letter at the Head-office, and giving directions to Swain, the inspector, relative to it.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. USEPVL CAUTION TO LADIES SitorrlNG.—Mary Ann Ward, a female of about twenty, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to pick pockets at Montanare's wax-doll shop, Charles-street, Soho-square. Charles Cole, sergeant, 23 C, said that on the previous afteinoon, about half•past three, he saw the prisoner in Oxford-street, wearing at the time a black fall over her face, and knowing her as a thief, he followed her into Charles street, Soho, where he saw her thrust herself between two ladies, who were looking in the window of Montanare's wax-doll shop. Having watched her for a few minutes, he saw her place her left hand in the pocket of one of the ladies. He then stepped by and spoke to the lady, and finding she had not lost anything he walked into the shop, and watching the prisoner saw her try at least half a dozen pockets, some • times by putting her hand in, and sometimes by rubbing her hand down the outside of the ladies' dresses. An old lady and a young one then came up, and he distinctly saw her put her hand under the old lady's shawl. He spoke to the lady (of the name of Litford, residing at Clapham), but as she stated that she had 104 nothing, he followed the pri soner, who was in front of Mr. Flint's linen drapery ware house, in Soho-square. On afterwards taking her into custody, she exclaimed, " Oh, Mr. Cole, don't be hard, I'll square you with half-a-crown. I've done nothing for the last three months." There had been two ladies robbed that morning at the same place ; one of £6, and the other of £4. The prisoner had been twice before convicted of robbery, once with a man named Coe, who severely assaulted Sergeant White, who took him into custody. The conviction on a former occasion having beenproved by Welsh, the gaoler, Mr. Tyrwhitt said hs should commit her for three months. She was a regular thief, but had not this time the luck to get anything. SALE OF ,TEM MYERS'S STUD. The theatrical and circus world were on the qui vive on Tuesday, in consequence of the announce ment that the far-famed American equestrian establishment belonging to the renowned Jem Myers would be brought to the hammer at the Barbican Horse Repository, by Mr. Gower. The stock consisted of 172 lots, and comprised the whole of the theatrical properties, the unrivalled stud of horses and ponies, the performing stag and bull, dogs, and monkeys, the carriages, baggage vans, trappings, tent—in fact, the whole of the para phernalia pertaining to a travelling equestrian circus ; and the reason publicly given for the sale was that the renowned Jem was about to give up the profession and retire into private life. The sale was announced to commence at twelve o'clock ; but long before that time the stables and yard were crowded by persons anxious to have a look at this celebrated stock, and intending purchasers ; and among the professionals present were Mr. Batty, the lessee of Astley's ; Madame Macarte, M. Jeannett, Messrs. Sangers Brothers, of Birmingham ; Messrs. Hbwes and Cushing of the Alhambra, and several o th er well-known thatrical celebrities, among whom were some gentlemen con nected with the Paris Hippodrome. A number of foreigners were also present, and among them was Captain Lomnowsky, an officer in the Russian ser vice, who had come expressly to England for the purpose of making purchases. Soon after the hour appointed Mr. Gower mounted the rostrum, and after observing upon the well-merited popularity of the renowned Jem Myers, he said that having for certain reasons made up his mind to dispose of the whole of his stock, the public, and those connected with the equestrian profession particularly, had an opportunity of obtaining pos session of some very valuable animals, whose extraordinary performances and sagacity had ac quired for them a world-wide renown ; and he at the same time announced that the whole stock would be sold to the best bidders and without the least reserve. The sale then commenced, the first lots being as usual some old stagers, which did not realise ar.y large amount. Lot 4 was a very pretty cream coloured mare named Emma, which was described as an extraordinary trick mare. The first bid was 20 guineas, but there was afterwards a spirited compe tition for her, and she was at length knocked down, at 53 guineas, to Madame Macarte. The few follow ing lots realised from 15 to 25 guineas each, but for lot 14 there was a strong competition. This animal was described as Miss Haswell, a dun mare, a well known bare-back or pad mare. She was very quickly run up from 35 guineas to 65 guineas, and after a short dwell, competition again went on until the auctioneer's hammer fell at the price of 100 gs., the successful competitor being the purchaser of the former lot, Madame Macarte. Lola Montez, a bay mare, described as clever in the ring, fetched 43 guineas ; and Jem, described as clever in single and double acts, was knocked down to Mr. Batty at 80 guineas. Lady Mary, a skewbald trick mare, fetched 55 guineas; she was bought by M. Jean• nett, Washington. A spotted gelding, a well-known ring -horse, was also bought by the same gentle man for 65 guineas. Beaumont, a skewbald gelding, a good ring horse, was bought by Captain Lomnowsky, to be taken to Russia, for 57 guineas. Tommy, described as a wonderful performing and trick pony, was purchased by M. Jeannett, for 81 guineas. There were several other ponies that fetched from 20 to 25 guineas each. After the sale of the horses bad concluded, Don Juan, the wonderful performing bull, was placed in front of the rostrum, and be was "knocked down," .not, of course. literally, at 21 guineas. The performing stag wP,,s then submitted to competition, and he was purrfaased by Mr. Batty for 74 guineas. Tom and Magilta, his performing monkeys, and Nero, described as an extraordinarily clever dog, was then. put up, but it was understood that they were bought in. The theatrical properties and dresses were then put up, but of course they did not realise a very large amount. The band carriage fetched 22 guineas, and the large travelling tent, all complete, was knocked down at 95 guineas. The total amount realised by the sale was al3eut £1,200. MIS DAY'S MARKETS.

A CASE POR THE BENEVOLENT.--A poor widow, named Mary Fielding, and dwelling at 23, London-street, Rat cliff, came before Mr. Yardley to make known her destitu tion and bereavement, in the hope that the magistrate would render a little assistance from the poor box fund. Her late husband was a coal porter, and while employed upon a wharf in Ratcliff, about a month since, he was sud denly attacked with illness, was carried home, and died a few hours afterwards. The poor woman, thus suddenly deprived of her husband and the support of her house, and only previously living " from hand to mouth," was in serious difficulties. She had five young children to maintain, and was far advanced in pregnancy. It was represented that the whole family were in the most destitute condition, and that the woman, whose accouchement was hourly expected, had no means of procuring a meal. A gentleman in the court represented to the magistrate that the applicant was a deserving woman, and that her late husband was an industrious and sober maa. Mr. Yardley kindly directed Mr, Livingston, the chief usher, to give the womaa a sovereign from the poor-box fund ; and said that, if she called upon him again in a fort night, some further assistance would be rendered.

Payne, the coroner for the City of London, held an inquiry in the board-room of the West London Union respecting the death of a female child, whose body was discovered on the ruins in New Victoria-street, Holborn, exhibiting such dreadful marks of violence upon it as to leave no doubt of its having been brutally murdered. It appeared from the evidence, that a man named Gunn discovered a bundle on the ruins, and on opening it the body of the deceased was exposed to view. The body, which was wrapped in four pieces of stuff, was conveyed to the union. Mr. Burt, sur geon, of Farringdon-street, said he had examined the body, which was that of a very fine female child of full growth. On examinin g the neck, he discovered a dark mark, about half an inch wide and three inches long, caused ley the pressure of a piece of tape, producing strangulation, which had been effected with great violence, and it had doubtless been mur ' dered. Verdict—Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown. We are informed that the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor Elect has written to Mr. Thwaites, Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works, and has placed his seat at the Board again in the hands of the Common Council. He has taken this step in consequence of the many onerous du ties which will devolve upon him as chief magistrate of the City. ALLEGED PIRACY BY GARIBALDIANS.—It will be remembered that considerable stir was made a few weeks ago about an alleged seizure of an English vessel by some Garibald;ans, and upon the allegations of the complaining party a steamer of the Mediterranean squadron was sent to capture the "pirates." The Malta Times has the follow ing on the subject :—" Captain Paul Pilotti, Signor Settem brini, and others who were sent here as prisoners on board the Caesar, charged with seizing and running away with the English steamer Orwell, have been set at liberty, the home authorities having confirmed the opinion of the local Go vernment, that no lawful ground existed for their arrest and d et ention." ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAIL WAY.—An accident, fortunately not one of a serious nature, occurred at Peterborough on Tuesday to the up Edinburgh express due at King's Cross 935 p.m. The accident oc curred through the mistake of the pointsman whose duty it was to allow the train in question to pass out of the yard to the main line, but having turned th e t ra i n i nto th e goods siding a collision instantly took place, the express running into some trucks of grain standing there. The train just starting was fortunately going slowly, so that, with the exception of a few trifling hurts, we are glad to hear no one was injured. The station-maste; Mt.

(From the Times) Annexed are c mmunications in relation to the fact of certain insurance offices having demurred to the demand of Mr. Goodhart to keep his fire poli cies in force by the payment of the premiums within the 1 5 day' grace purported to be given in the notices issued. One writer asks for the names of the offices in question, but these will necessarily transpire in regular course:— " 16, C orn hill , O ct. 12. Sir,—The paragraph in the City Article of the Times of to-day (suggested by the late fire at Lb - nob/ruse), opening the question of the liability of Fire Insurance Companies in the event of the premiums being paid subsequently to their becoming due and within the 15 days universally allowed, demands most serious attention. " Having the management of some of the largest lease hold estates in Belgravia, involving, of course, attention to that most important covenant of keeping up insurance, we are naturally much interested in the result of the inquiry that must be rai=ed from the course adopted by certain in surance companies in relation to the Limehouse fire. " We have now before us a notice from a company stating the day of a certain premium falling due, and ending in these words :---‘ And for your security it is requisite that the amount should be paid within 15 days from that date.' " This is plain enough, one would think, and either means what the writers state or is a clear deception. The argu• ments used by the companies in question would, we pre sume, be applied by them equally to the 30 days' grace al lowed for payment of life insurance premiums. We cannot but think that such an important question is capable of ready solution, and trust that your notice of it will hasten a decision.—We are, sir, your obedient servants, "MANSELL and ELLIOTT." " 23, Philpot-lane, Oct. 12. Sir,—Your announcement about fire premiums has startled every one, and the question is so important, the fire-offices should be called upon to say what they really mean. " I insure for parties at home and abroad, and, together with, I believe, the public at la-ge, considered the policy valid if the premium was paid within the 15 days. So universal was the belief, that all diaries, pocketbooks, &c., give 'Fire Insurance Due' on the 15th day after quarter days.--Yours sincerely, "J. W. Mr." "The Northern Assurance Company, 1, Moorgate-street, Oct. 12. " Sir,—As bearing upon the question of days of grace on fire policies, it mayinterest you to know that in a case which occurred in this office some 18 months ago it was held by the directors not only that the company was bound to accept payment of the premium at any time within the 15 days allowed for the renewal of the policy, but that in reckoning the date of the last advices from the place where the insured property was situated the days of grace ought to be in cluded. "In the case referred to the policy (which was on pro perty at Bahia) expired on the Ist of January, the fire oc curred on the evening of the 12th, shortly before the depar ture of the mail which brought instructions to renew the insurance, but the Board held that the premium must be accepted, and the loss, amounting to £14,000, was duly paid. " I may add that an office with whieh a portion of our policy was reinsured disputed its liability on the ground that we had paid a claim for which we were not liable, but on the case going to arbitration it was decided by the re ferees, without having recourse to their umpire, in favour of this company.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, " A. P. FLETcnEn, Secy." "Manchester Fire-office, 96, Cheapside, Oct. 12. " Sir, —Observing in your City Article of this day the following statement, viz., On the premium being tendered this morning the offices interested, with the exception of the Liverpool and London, refused to receive it, I have to inform you that a cheque for the renewal of Messrs. Good hart's insurance in this office was yesterday morning (the day subsequent to the fire) presented, and without hesitation accepted by me, and the usual official receipt handed in ex change. " May I request, in justice to this office, that the above Facts be made equally public ?—I am sir, your obedient servant, " GEO. RITHERDON, Secy. to the London Board." " Scottish Provincial Assurance Company, 20, Cannon-street, London, Oct. 12. "Sir,—Alluding to the paragraph in the City Article of the Times of this day with reference to Messrs. Goodhart's fire, allow me to suggest, in justice to other companies, that you give the names of the offices who declined accept ing the premium. The practice of this company you will find in the accompanying copy of an advertisement, which has been to-day sent to the Times.—l am, sir, your obe dient servant, " J. G. WARDROP, Secretary," THE LATE SIR BARRY SMITH., We have to record this day the decease of one of the most gallant officers of the present century, and one of the few surviving companions in arms of Lords Hardinge and Gough and the rest of the heroes of Moodkee and Ferozeshah, in the person of General Sir Harry George Wakelyn Smith, Bart., G.C.8., at the age of 72. Born in 1788 at Whittlesea, in the Isle of Ely, where his father was a local surgeon, of fair, but not more than fair prac tice, the deceased general showed in his own per son a standing proof that a really able officer will, some how or other, eventually rise to the top of the professional tree, if he is only true to himself and makes good use of his opportunities. Having re ceived the elements of such an education as could be picked up by a lad at the grammar school of a second or third-rate country town towards the close of the last century, the future general entered the army in 1805 as Second Lieutenant in the Rifle Brigade, and took part in the siege, storming, and capture of Montevideo under the late General Sir Samuel Auchmuty, and in the attack on Buenos Ayres under Brigadier-General Crawford. He was also present at tile capture of Copenhagen, under the late Earl Cathcart. Being afterwards em ployed with the troops in Spain under Sir John Moore, he took an active part in the leading en gagements of the Peninsular war, from the battle of Vimiera down to the embarkation of the troops at Corunna. Returning to the Penin sula again in 1809, he took an active part in the action on the bridge of the Coa, near Almeida, where he was severely wounded, and commanded a company in pursuit of Massena, from the lines of Lisbon, and in one or two subsequent engagements of lesser importance. Having been appointed to the command of a brigade of the Light Division, he was present at the battle of Fuentes d'Onor, and at the sieges and storming of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz, the battles of Salamanca, Vit toria, Orthes, and Toulouse, and in several lesser engagements, and, in fact, in every important battle throughout the war with the exception of Talavera. We next find him present at the capture of Wash ington, under General Ross, where he was Assist ant Adjutant-General, and was honoured for his gallant conduct on that occasion by being appointed to bear the despatches to England. His next battle field was New Orleans, whether he proceeded as military secretary under the brave Sir Edward Pakenham, who fell in his arms mortally wounded. He was soon afterwards appointed military secre tary to Sir John Lambert, under whom he took part in the siege and capture of Fort Bowyer. Return ing to England in time to bear his part in the last decisive battle of the European war, he acted as Assistant Quartermaster General to the sixth divi sionbm of the army at Waterloo. We next find . ,e i_ y serving as Deputy Adjutant-General, successively at lapael of at Halifax, Nova Scotia, and in the whence he was transferred in 1827.tioont u under the Good Hope, and commanded a late Sir B. D'Urban, through4o:uintvitshe d the following operations against the Caffre tribes in 183 ointed Adjutant year. In 1839-40 he was aP p P d was present i n General to the forces in India, a sva in wh For and Maha thatGich action he was capacity at the battle of rajapore, for his gaßllantry nominated a K._C• Military Division. Subse quentlyleading part in the wars aga i ns t the Sik hs in the Punjab; he was in co mmand of aat division at Moodkee, and of th e reservethe battle of Fero zepore, w h ere he nobly su pported the late Si r J ohn Littler charge e upon the guns of the enemy.ll Littler in his g 11 A few days later t h e Sikh forces,as • be remem bered, crossed the river Sutlej, near Loodia na h, an d too k up their position at Aliwal. Lord Gough immediately dispatched Sir Harry Smith, with 7,000 men and 24 guns, to relieve Loodianah, and this object he succeeded in effecting. On the 28th . of J an uary, 1846, Sir Harry Smith led the main charge in the battle of Aliwal, carrying that village at the point of the bayonet, and capturing all the enemy's guns, to the number of 67—a success which enabled him to come to the assistance of the Commander in-Chief, and to join in the final and crowning vic tory of Sobraon (February the 10th), which crushed the last hopes of the Sikh leaders and their troops, and secured the possession of the fertile region of the Punjab to the British forces. For his conduct on these occasions Sir Harry Smith was highly commended in the despatches of Lord Gough, who does not scruple to attribute the victory of Aliwal mainly to his valour and judg ment. The same statement was endorsed by the late Earl of Ripon in his place in the House of Lords, when he proposed the formal thanks of that house to Sir Harry Smith for his distinguished ser vices in India, and it was fully borne out by the testimony of the Duke of Wellington. At the same time he was presented with the freedom of the city of London and the thanks of th e Hon. East India Company, and not long a ft erw ards was created a Baronet, and further rewarded by being i ladvanced to the dignity of a G.C.B. He had not long returned to Englana When ' he I was appointed to the Colonelcy of the Rifle Bri gade, audio September, 1847, he was nominated to the Governorship of the Cape of Good Hope, together with the command of the forces in that colony. There he conducted with great ability all the ope rations of the Caffre war of 1851-2, and brought them by force of arms to such a successful issue that Kreili was compelled to sue for peace, pledg ing himself henceforth to keep within, the Indwe and Kei rivers, while Sandilli acknowledged his cause to be hopeless, subolitted to the Gwitd - .aul's terms, and withdrew from Ceifraria. In 1851 * Sir Harry Smith was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-General, and in the same year was appointed to th e m ilit ar y c ommand of the northern and midland districts. _ _ The late Baronet married, in 1814, a Spanish lady, the Donna Juana Maria de los Dolores de Leon, by whom, however, he had no issue ; and accordingly the baronetcy becomes extinct by his death. TUE PRUSSIAN ALLIANCE. One of the most pointed arguments we ha ea heard in favour of the Prussian alliance—a favourite idea in certain dynastic and diplomatic circles—is that Prussia and England can never under any circum stances come to blows. Au between Prussia and unli a k r el England is sa id to b e as fight between a d og and a fish—the e proceedingßritish it should seem, bei ng th e big fish in this a t p d ol and our German cousin th e noble doniestieae mem ber of the brute creatio n . W hether the nation, og as u o a improba bility of any hostile contact between the dog and the fish be a sufficient reason f or an attempt to establish intimate relations between the two, is a point we leave to diplomatic fishmon gers to de termine ; the big fish can at all events suffice for its own preservation in its native element ; the hook and the net have still to be invented which are to catch and land it on German soil. Nor is England in a condition to be dragged about like a blind impostor by any whining dog with a plate round his neck. Great efforts, however, appear to be in progress among certain recognis able influences in this country and at Berlin to convert a family bond into a political compact, and a domestic connection into a political alliance. The Foreign Minister of England, it seems, as sisted at a grand pigsticking solemnity in the neighbourhood of Coburg the other day, and has since been heard of at Coblentz in close confabula tion with Baron Schleinitz. From these two inci dents, diverse in character yet tending to a common object, it is gravely concluded that the policy of England is becoming more and more German, and that the Fish is biting in Rhenish waters at an Austrian hook ingeniously suspended, after the fashion of the most approved cadger, from the collar of the Prussian Dog. For that the British Fish has got into Rhenish waters—to its cost—is only too notorious. The misadven tures of her Majesty's tender Fairy, between Emmerich and Mayence abundantly bear witness to the auspicious inauguration of the precious German alliance which is destined to supersede the French, and to the conveniences and advan tages of a new and promising connection. Three weeks ago the public in this country were some what startled by the account of a savage outrage perpetrated on an inoffensive English gentleman and his family at Bonn, by some officials of the Rhenish Railway Company. This outrage was preceded and provoked by an act of flagrant and brutal violence on the part of a Prussian medical man, and followed by a still more savage outrage on the part of the police and law authorities at Bonn. An English gentleman was actually dragged off to gaol, refused bail, denied access to his friends, lodgei in a dark cell on a straw pallet, and after six days of imprisonment befitting a com mon malefactor, or a political malcontent in Aus tria, browbeaten and insulted by a public prose cutor in a court of justice, and fined, for the offence of having suffered the grossest indig nity and violence without resistance or redress. Not only were all these outrages and indignities heaped upon an English gentleman at a German town in which thousands of pounds sterling are annually spent by English residents and tourists, but a Prussian court of justice was profaned by deliberate insults to the English nation, uttered by the public prosecutor, a law officer of the Prussian Crown. This agreeable incident may be noted as a sort of prelude to the solemn overtures performed at Coburg and Coblentz. The grand symphony of an Anglo-Prussian alliance com mences with a few simple prison bars for a mere English traveller at Bonn. __ But these most desirable Prussian allies of ours are not content with treating English gentlemen as their Austrian brethren treat Italian Liberals. They must needs improve the occasion of the Queen of England's visit to the home of her Con sort, and of the British Foreign Minister's inter view with Baron Schleinitz, by a ridiculous and offensive attempt to waylay and search one of her Majesty's yachts, and, to prevent British naval officers from landing at Cologne. The moral con sciousness of German officials is, we dare say, some ' what obtuse, and it is conceivable that by some metaphysicsl process not understood out of Germany, the Prussian mind is persuaded that by imprisoning English travellers and insulting officers of her Majesty's service it will impress the English mind with the useful and ornamental qualities of a Prussian alliance. Toryism in all its forms and dis guises is working might and main to put the British fleet and treasury at the disposal of the Prussian Government whenever the Court of Berlin shall in vite aggression from France by taking up arms for Austria in Italy. Monarchical interests, as they are understood in Central Europe, look hopefully to the future junction of the Dog and the Fish. It is the pet device of the diplomatic guild—this Anglo- German combination. The conduct of Prussia and of Austria during the Russian war was so bold, straightforward, honourable, and consistent, that the security of Austria is held to be more than ever necessary, and the alliance of Prussia more than ever indispensable to Great Britain. This respect able superstition still obtains, we believe, in Down ing-street. Of course it is ardently cherished at Vienna, and Berlin, and especially among Liberals of the Gotha persuasion. Recent occurrences at Bonn, and Cologne, on the commonest thorough fare f British travel, arrive most opportunely for the purpose of giving the English public a taste of of the quality of the laws, the manners, and the civilisation of our intended allies. The "_" of England, it is true, receives Austrian coin_ 8 but ely Aliments and Prussian cordialities at Coburg, s bu c r o g ar t at the same time the British p p libelled by a law officer of the Pru e s ° -le Britishsi navy is court of justice at Bonn, and the officers at insulted by Prussian Custom-housey• be tempted to Crown in a Cologne.

D ALLEGED CHILD MUR DER AT THESTOK_ETEIGATHEAD. On Thursday an adjourned inquest was held at Stoketeignhead, Devonshire, on the body of a newly b or n child, found dead under circumstances already described in our paper. irohf c s il g d's mother was servant to a farme r named Bond. Mrs. Bond gave evidence as to th e g i rl ' s given birth t o a c hil d. William Bond, f ar that she had the girl's confession,farmer and, corroborated his wife as to added—l was satisfied with ces h in her statement, and went to church. Being Sacra ment Sunday we came home earlier; things in the ba c k ki tc h en appeared to be in great dis order, and I fancied I smelt something very dis agreeable. I asked what she had in the fire ; she said nothing more than what came from the coal-box. I lifted the cover of the fireplace, and there I saw the head of a child. I said, " What for God's sake have you here ?" and taking the poker drew it out on the hob ' • the servant declared it was nothing more that what was in the box, and this she persisted in saying. My father came im mediately after, and then she said—" For God's sake say nothing about it for I shall be hung, and if you say nothing no one will know anything about it." I said, "I suppose you want me to be hung in' stead of you." I then sent for the doctor, a police man, and the girl's parents. After some tim e the girl was taken up stairs, and Mr. Brooks cameo afterwards. Mr. Thomas Brooks, surgeon, said —I When I to see Elizabeth Hooper on Sunday . last! e b charred arrived I had produced for inspectionof cinder at head of a child, with a large pie .n e on it.
