The prisoner was then discharged. ~~~~ `~~ ~~~ G"y P RIGE , 4 1) . STAMPED, SP• speaking of the matter to my father and mother in our garden, while I sat at my work. Then I met Benger at the four cross-roads, and we went through the lawn gate into Mr. Kent's premises. Nobody asked us to go. We went of our own accord. Ben ger proposed to go. He said no one would be angry with us for looking for a lost child. He said that because I did'nt like to go. I said what I did be cause I could'nt think any one could have stolen a child out of a gentleman's house. I have been clerk to the district church of this parish 17 years. Miss Emma Moody—l live with my mother at Warminster, and I know the prisoner, Miss Con stance Kent, I have been at school with her at Beckington, about a mile distant from her father's house. I went home for the holidays when she did, about the 17th or 18th of June. I have heard her make remarks about the child such as this, that she disliked the child, and pinched it, but I believe more for fun than for anything else, for she was laughing at the time she said it. It was not this child more than the others. She said that she liked to tease them, this one and his younger brothers and sisters. I believe it was through jealousy, and because the parents showed great partiality. I have remonstrated with her on what she said. I was walking with her one day near Road, and said " Won't it be nice to go home for the holidays so soon ?" She said, "It may be to your home, but mine's is different." She also led me to infer, though I don't remember her precise words, that she did not dislike the child, but through the partiality shown by the parents, and that the second family were much better treated than the first. I remem ber her saying that several times. We were talking about dress, on one occasion, and she said, " Mamma will not let me have anything I like; and if I said I should like a brown dress, she would let me have a black, just for contrary." I remember no other conversation about the deceased child ; she has only very slightly referred to him. I was 17 years of age last March, and have been at that school a year a half. Mies Constance Kent has been a boarder there only during the last half-year, and she came there to take lessons for three months before. She took home the second prize for good conduct last half-year. There were between 30 and 40 young ladies there. Mr. Joshua Parsons, surgeon of Beckington, stated that he was called to Mr. Kent's house on Saturday, the 30th of June, and saw the body of the child. It had a night dress on and a blanket stained with blood and soil. There was a stab on the left side, cutting through the cartilage of two ribs. The mouth had a blackened appearance, with the tongue protruding between the teeth. I think this was produced by forcible pressure during life, but there was no abrasion of the tongue or lips to show that anything had been pushed into the mouth. The throat was cut from one ear to the other, dividing it all down to the spines. By order of the coroner I opened the body ; the stomach was healthy, and I saw no reason to suspect that any narcotic or poisonous drug had been administered. The stab in the chest had not penetrated to the heart, but had pushed it out of its place, and pierced the diaphragm, and slightly wounded the outer coat of the stomach, on the right side of it. There were two very slight incisions on the right hand, which appeared to have been made after death. When I saw the body at half-past eight, the rigidity was complete, so that I suppose that it had been dead at least five hours. The injuries were inflicted, I think, with a long pointed knife. The stab was an inch or an inch and a quarter wide. I accompanied Mr. Foley in searching the house, and went into Miss Constance Kent's room. I examined the linen in her drawers, and the nightcap and nightgown, which were on the bed ; they were all perfectly free from any stains of blood. The night. dress was very clean, but I cannot say how long it had been worn • I think it might have been worn nearly a week. I knew the poor little boy who was killed very well ; he was a very heavy child for his age. It must have been done with a dagger-shaped or carving knife, and it required very great force to make such a cut through the blanket and folded night-dress, and through the side, in that way. Miss Louisa Hatherall—l live with my parents in Oldbury, in Gloucestershire, and am 15 years of age. I was at school with the prisoner at Beckington till last June. I have heard her speak of her home, snd say there was a partiality shown by her parents for the younger children. She spoke of her brother William being obliged to wheel the perambulator for the younger children, and that he disliked doing it. She also spoke of her father comparing the elder son to the younger, and saying what a much finer boy the younger would be. She told me nothing else, to my recollection. Sarah Cox—l have been housemaid to Mr. Kent for three months past. It was my duty to fasten up the door and windows, and I did so on the night of the 28th June. I locked and bolted the door of the drawing-room when I went to bed, about a quarter to eleven. Next morning I found the door a little way open, the shutters unfastened, and the window a little way up. I could not see that any force had been used, or that the window had been broken open. I did not see any footmarks on the floor, which was covered with a white drug get. I had to collect the dirty linen from the rooms on Monday mornings ; that of Miss Constance was generally thrown down either in the room or on the landing, some of it on Sunday, and some on Monday. It was so on this occasion, Monday, July 2. I found a night dress of hers on the land ing on Monday morning, and took it down withthe rest into a lumber room on the first floor to sort it out. I then called Miss Kent to come and put the number on the book. I perfectly remember putting this night dress of Miss Constance's into the basket on the Monday (July 2) after the murder. I am certain of it. I left the basket in the lumber room when I went down to the inquest, about 11 o'clock, with the nurse. Mr. and Mrs. Kent, the three young ladies, Master Kent, the young children, and the cook remained in the house. The baskets were covered up with the kitchen table cloth and Mrs. Kent's dress, and the lumber room was not locked. The laundress was to come for them about twelve or one o'clock that day. I know that I put three night dresses into one basket, and besides them Miss Elizabeth Kent made up her own bundle for herself. Miss Constance came to the door of the lumber room after the things were in the basket, but I had not quite finished packing them. She asked me if I would look in her slip pocket and see if she had left her purse there. I looked in the basket and told her it was not there. She then asked me to go down and get her a glass of water. I did so, and she followed me to the top of the back stairs, as I went out of the room. I found her there when I returned with the water, and I think I was not gone near a minute, for I went down very quickly. The lumber room is en the same floor as the nursery. She drank the Neater and went up the other back stairs, towards her own room. There was no further conversation between us. I co vered down the basket, and did not return to it. It was on Tuesday evening that I heard of a missing night shirt, and I have never seen it since. The ladies of the family change their night dresses once a week, but I cannot say on what night. I think each takes out the clean things for herself. My bedroom is adjoining Miss Con stance's, with only a papered wall, or boards, or something between ; I can hear everything very plainly, but I don't recollect being awakened on the night of the murder. Cross-examined—On Saturday (June 30) the morning when the child was found dead, I took a clean nightgown of hers down to be aired, and an other on the Saturday afterwards: These, with the one I put in the basket, would make three. Her nightgowns have plain frills, and Miss Kent's have lace on them, so that I can easily distinguish them. I believe Miss Constance had three. I did not ob serve any mark or stain on the one I put into the basket on the Monday after the murder ; it was dirtied as one usually was which she had worn a week. During the time I have lived in the house I have never seen anything unkind or unsisterly in her conduct towards the deceased ; nor have I ever heard her say anything unkind to him, or show any ill-feeling towards him. There were two un occupied rooms on the first floor, the lumber room and the spare room, the latter being immediately over the drawing-room. On the second floor there were unoccupied rooms, a bedroom, and a lumber room. The book in which the dirty linen is en tered by Miss Kent is usually sent with it to Mrs.• Holly, the washerwoman. I know it was Miss Kent who entered it on the Monday after the mur der. On the following Monday, July 9, the clothes were not sent to the wash as usual, because there night r e s s . w w a a s sh s e o rw m e e m d a i n sp s u a t i e d a t b h o e u re t wtherise threenight put on the book, and only two sent. It was Miss Constance's that was missing . Miss Kent said th at I had put it into the basket, as she had seen me do fact deatho f t he: nightdress g p h t excepting es the s nsoatmhea v g g it. I observed nothing unusual. in her manner after the little boy'sld that was shown by the rest of the family. next called the washerwoman, was in the basket. The magistrates having eonsulted, announced to l‘ p l r rs ov'e li th o e lly, that no mere witnesses would be called. been mr. Edlin then Atikecl, the Bench inotantly to THEATRICAL FESTIVITY. (From the Era.) Acording to annual custom Mr. J. B. Buckstone, the highly-respected lessee of the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, entertained on Monday afternoon the members of his company and a few of his personal friends, at his picturesque villa at Sydenham, where about 30 gentlemen assembled to partake of the hospitality of the worthy manager. In his double capacity as host and as Chief Baron of the Court of Uncommon Pleas, a tribunal which takes humorous cognisance of any local theatrical questions con nected with the Haymarket Theatre that may be referred to its arbitration, Mr. Buckstone presided on the occasion, and was faced by Mr. Chippendale, the stage manager, who, in rising to propose the health of their excellent chairman, earnestly and appropriately addressed the company as follows : Cientlemen,—l rise to propose the " Health of the Chief Baron"--..a gentleman who has presided over this honour able court for many years. It is an annual custom, and a most pleasureable one. His knowledge of the laws that govern us as a body is most profound. Amenities—those laws which render the dusty road of life pleasant, and enable us to hang up our memories in gree n places, his daily inter course with us prove his knowledge of. Humanity —from whence springs charity and other virtues, his name at the head of the numerous petitions presented to us, and the labour (to him " a labour of love") and time he bestows in forwarding in every way the charitable institutions of his profession, is a convincing proof he is deeply imbued with that most righteous law. His study of commer cial law are touchingly remindel of every t'atur day ; and, as to the laws of hospitality, you have to-day the evidence of your own senses. Thus, rich in the knowledge and practice of the social laws, it is net a matter for won der that he has retained his seat for so long a period, and that we earnestly wish he may continue in it till his shrewd ness and tact as a manager enable him to enter the haven of independence, which, I am sure, you will join me in hoping he may do at an age that will leave him many years to enjoy the harvest of his industry and talent. Gentle men, I give you " Health and continued prosperity to John Baldwin Buckstone." The enthusiasm with which this was received, and the equally warm and cordial response that was given when Mr. Buckstone returned thanks in one of his kindliest and most felicitous speeches, could be but faintly indicated in print, though it will not soon fade from the memory of those pre sent. He concluded by proposing th e h ea lth o f Mr. Benjamin Webster, who was amongst the guests, stating that Mr. Webster had honourably ruled the destinies of the Haymarket Theatre for sixteen years, thirteen of which he (Mr. Buck stone) had been his actor. Mr. Benjamin Webster replied with great feeling. The health of Mr. Charles Mathews was given, who responded to the toast in a speech full of rapid fun, during which he, stated that although he had once been Mr. Buck stone's manager, yet he would rather at any time be that gentleman's actor. Notwithstanding the unpropitious state of the weather, the visitors passed a day of uninterrupted enjoyment, and a succession of toasts and speeches followed the luxurious banquet which the courteous lessee had so liberally provided, till professional duties hurried a majority of the party back to town. Ample testimony was adduced of the genial and generous qualities of their hospita ble entertainer, and the good-fellowship and har monious co-operation of the Haymarket company, so abundantly exhibited in connexion with the event that had called them together, proved the high esteem in which Mr. Buckstone was held as a man and a manager, whilst the general public the same evening as justly paid their well•earned tributes to him as one of the most popular authors and actors of the modern stage. )int d in uted coin - 1 was and Ltinu- a and mid of )n the on the ite on ing on spored he re noble to the , uld be )nabled out of Le word agreed read a re eOllO use ad.

After repeated remands and numerous delays, Thomas Winslow was brought up yesterday before Mr. Raffles, the stipendiary magistrate, at the Police Court, on the charge of having caused the death of Mrs. Ann James, a boarding-housekeeper in Vauxhall-road. There were also charges against the prisoner of having poisoned Mrs. Elizabeth Townsend, sister to Mrs. James, and William and Samuel Townsend, two sons of the last-named woman. In all the four cases the alle gation was that the prisoner had poisoned the de ceased by means of antimony. Mr. Aspinall, instructed by Mr. Walter, ap peared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Cobb, assisted by Mr. J. J. Pope, surgeon, as medical assessor. The prisoner, on being placed in the dock, looked around the court with an air of composure, but he suddenly concentrated a very fixed amount of at tentive observation on Mr. Aspinall, as that gentle man proceeded to state the course he intended to pursue in conducting the preliminary inquiry. Without going into any detail of the circumstances attendant on the charge, as that had been brought out in the inquiry before the coroner, from the evidence adduced at which the coroner's jury had returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against the prisoner in reference to the case of Mrs. James, the learned council called the following witnesses, the first being Jane Cafferatta, niece of Mrs. James and daugh ter of Mrs. Townsend, who proved generally that Mrs. James kept a boarding and lodging house in Vauxhall-road, was about 56 years of age at the time of her death, and that the business she carried on was a successful one. Some time in 1854 the prisoner, who was at the time em ployed in a foundry in the neighbourhood, became acquainted with the deceased aunt of the witness, and soon afterwards was taken in to assist in ma naging the business of the house, which was one requiring attention day and night. The witness's father, mother, and three brothers and herself lived in the house, and less or more assisted in managing' the business. They had all come from Plymouth to Liverpool in 1842, and lived together, Mrs. James being the owner of the business. At the time the prisoner entered the family, besides those already named, there were generally one or two women servants in the house. After joining the establishment the prisoner attended chiefly to the night business, which he managed, with the assis tance of a servant. During part of 1854 and 1855 witness's husband, who is an ornamental japanner, lived in the house along with the others, but dur ing the last-named year witness and her husband went to Manchester. Subsequent to that time witness was in the habit of occasionally N Wang her aunt. On these occasions the prisoner and her aunt appeared to be on very friendly terms. Pre vious to last February Mrs. James was subject to bilious attacks, which might occur once in 12 months or so. During these attacks she vomited a good deal and was purged frequently. In February last witness received a letter in the prisoner's handwriting ; it said, "If you wish to see your dear aunt alive, come immediately." Witness went, and found her aunt very ill indeed. At that time witness remained in Vauxhall road a fortnight, and when she left Mrs. James was nearly convalescent. During that time she was waited on by two servants, the pri soner, and witness, the latter sleeping with her. When the deceased wanted food during the eight she got it, consisting of tea, sago, and arrowroot. It was brought to her by the prisoner. In March, after returning to Manchester, witness received another letter from her brother Martin, requesting her to come to Liverpool ; but she did not, as she was unwell. She received a letter on the last day of April from the prisoner, containing a post-office money-order, and a request that she would come to Liverpool immediately, as her aunt was very ill. On the following Thursday she came, and found her aunt sitting up, but e v id en tly ve ry ill, and complaining greatly of sickness. Witness then re mained with her till the time of her death. During this illness she was attended to by the prisoner and servants as before. Dr. Cameron was sent for on the Tuesday after witness arrived, the prisoner having. sent for him. The deceased improved, and then got worse. Dr. Cameron gave instructions that the dejectio'is and other evacuations of the deceased should be kept. This was done, and he took them away. On the evening of the 9th of June witness prepared some sago in a china tea cup and gave it to her aunt, who took it all, and slept afterwards for several hours. On getting up in the morning witness saw a cup or two on the table, which had not been there when witness fell asleep. The prisoner had access to the room in the interval. The cups were left till 1)r Ca meron came, which was about 11 o'clock. He was accompanied by two detective officers, but witness did not know they were detectives, nor that any one was to come with him. Dr. Cameron sent for witness. He then said, "I am going to remove your aunt to prevent a similar occurrence," and desired witness to get her dressed as soon as pos sible. This was done, and witness accompanied her aunt and Dr. Cameron to the Southern Hospital. Horne, one of the detectives, took possession of the two cups which had been left. On the 9th of June Dr. Cameron took away the bottles containing the evacuations of the deceased. Generally when the deceased was sick she always complained of great pain in her side. These paroxysms were succeeded by a kind of rallying, but, on the whole, she became gradually weaker. Witness occasion ally visited her aunt while she was in the hospital, and saw her there in the act of vomiting. This was in presence of the nurse. She died on Sunday, the 24th of June, and witness last saw her alive on Wednesday the 20th. On the latter day and the Thursday prisoner and witness had a quarrel. He said " You are taking things too easy ; You are a second Palmer." This arose from the fact that the prisoner had ordered witness's husband out of the house, adding, " I have authority to put you out of the house." Witness said she should remain till her aunt's recovery. He said, " I'll see about it." On the Thursday witness said to prisoner she in tended to go to the hospital to see her aunt. He said "If you do, I'll put you in arrest" He also said witness's husband was carrying about white powders in his pocket, and he was not doing so for nothing." Witness's husband then took some car bonate of soda out of his pocket, and showed it to the prisoner, who said, " It's not likely you'll show me the right sort." Witness's husband was using car bonate of soda for his stomach, and had it in his pocket. He (prisoner) said 'while she was in the hospital that deceased occupied all his thoughts—that he frequently saw her at his bedside calling him out. He said the same in reference to witness's brother Samuel previous I to his death. On the 2Rth of May prisoner told witness that he had instructions from her aunt to go to Mr. John Buck Lloyd and get him to make her will. The sago that witness made for her aunt on the 9th of June was taken from a pound parcel w hich was in the shop. She pointed it out to Horne, the detective. Witness did not put antimony in : "ner aunt's food, and never saw antimony in her life. Up to the time of her aunt's death witness did not know that the former had any property beyond the furniture in the house and the goods in the shop. In cross-examination by Mr. Cobb, the witness said her husband never put any carbonate of soda in her aunt's food. He never interfered with the food of her aunt. She (witness) never put car bonate of soda in her aunt's food. On one occasion witness's husband went to "Williams's for her aunt's medicine. He once went to Dyson's and brought a bottle of medicine. It made her very sick. She threw it up, and would take no more. Witness did not think she ever saw her aunt in the hospital, except in the presence of the nurse, or, at all events except when she was very near. The witness was not in Vauxhall-road six weeks before her mother's death, and her husband did not come to Liverpool till after her mother's death. About ten days after her husband's arrival, and about a week previous to her aunt's removal, a young man ; named Ed ward, came to see- him from Manchester. He is an apprentice with Heywood, druggist, in I)eansgate. Witness never said she could get anything she liked from a druggist's, and that without pay ing for it. The young man she does not know, and he came down in a cheap trip. Henry Cafferatta, husband of the preceding wit ness, was next called. This was somewhat out of the intended order of proceeding, but it was adopted in consequence of his having suggested to his wife an answer to one of the questions put to her. About a week before Mrs. James's death the prisoner com plained of being ill with vomiting and purging. Wit ne ss persuaded him to go to a d octor, b ut a t last agreed to a ccompany the witnes s t o a d oc t or , and partof the Wa y, but the • er soon they went was better, and returned to the house. s aid he Some days before Mr. James's s death p r i so ner called witness a poisoner, and said his (witness's) wife was . as bad as himself ; that witness went about with white powders in his pocket, poisoning the family. The white powder was a little carbonate of soda, which, bein g troubled with indigestion, he was in the habit of taking to correct the acidity on his stomach. In cross-examination he said as an ornamental painter and japanner he never used antimony in his life. Never heard of it being used in that trade. Witness's father was a surgeon-dentist, and witness understands dentistry a little, but neither his father nor himself ever used antimony. He had frequently visited Mrs. James's house since his marriage, and cannot say whether he has done so more frequently during thc last 12 months. In. Whitsun week Ed ward Wade, a young chemist, came from Manches ter to see witness. Never said that he could get anything he liked out of the shop that young man is in, and does not believe his wife said so. _ At about 4 o'clock the Court adjourned till this morning at 10 o'clock. TUE MYSTERMUB CHILD MURDER NEAR FROME. The adjourned inquiry as to the circumstances at tendant on the death of Francis - Saville Kent, a child under four years of age, who was murdered in his father's house on the 29th of June last, was re sumed yesterday morning in the Temperance Hall, at the village of Road, about four miles from Frome. The magistrates present were H. G. Ludlow, Esq., who presided; W. P. S tancomb, Esq., J. B. Stancomb, Esq.; G. W. Sheppard, Esq. ; J. Sinkins, Esq. ; and Rev. R. Crawley. Captain Meredith, chief con stable of the county of Wilts ; Mr. Superintendent Foley, of the Trowbridge division, and Messrs. Wolfe and Abbott, superintendent of the Devizes and Warminster divisions, were present, as well as Mr. Inspector Whicher, of the metropolitan de tectives. Miss Constance Kent, half : sister of the deceased child, having been kept in custody for some days past at Devizes gaol, was brought up in charge of the governor, Mr. Alexander. Mr. S. S. Kent, of Road-hill-house, in whose family this dreadful event has occurred, was present, accom panied by two solicitors, Mr. Edlin of Bristol, and Mr. Dunn, of Frome—Mr. Edlin being especially engaged on behalf of Miss Constance Kent, the prisoner. When this young lady entered the room, she hastened to meet her father, and affectionately kissed him. She wore deep mourning, and ap peared to be much afficted, but perfectly quiet and composed ; she is about sixteen years of age. Mr. Clark, the magistrates' clerk, read over the evidence given at the last meeting on Friday by Elizabeth Gough, the nursemaid, which she con firmed, and then continued as follows :—I remember Friday night, the 28th of June. I had a Child's night light in my room, which was the nursery, I awoke at five o'clock, and missed the child, but as I thought he had been taken in to his mother, I lay down again for an hour. I felt satisfied that he was gone, for if he had cried his mother would have fetched him. I felt satisfied the child was in her room, because I had heard her say a little time be fore that if he cried she would come in and fetch him. That was my only reason. I first saw the prisoner that morning when I came to the door •f her sisters' room, to ask if they had taken the child. I suppose that was about a quarter before seven o'clock. I asked the two sisters if they had taken Saville from the nursery. They said no, they had not seen him. Miss Constance's bedroom door is quite close to that of her two sisters, and she was standing by her own room door, nearly dressed. The two sisters then said to me, " Have you seen Mrs. Kent ?" I replied, " Yes," I had, and that she hadn't seen the child. Miss Constance most likely heard what was said. It was said in her hearing. She did not make any remark that I know of. The family of Mr. Kent consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Kent, Miss Mary Ann Kent, Miss Elizabeth Kent, Miss Con stance Emily Kent, and William Saville Kent, aged 15, children by his first wife ; and of Mary Amelia Saville Kent, five years old, Francis Saville Kent (the deceased), three years and ten months old, and Eveline Fanny Kent, the youngest. There were no visitors in the house. There were three servants, including myself, the cook, and the house maid ; no man-servants. They all slept in the house on the night of the murder. The prisoner came home from school for the holidays about a fortnight before the murder. The two elder Misses Kent slept in one room ; Miss Constance slept alone, in a room by herself. The cook and housemaid slept together. Master William Kent slept alone in a separate room, but no one else, I believe, slept alone in the house. He was also at home from school, for the holidays ; he had come home three days before his sister. His bedroom was on the same floor, but not close to her's. When I saw her that morning, it was her usual time of getting up; sometimes she might be later, and sometimes earlier. Cross-examined by Mr. Edlin—l am 23 years old. I have been out in service about four years, and in Mr. Kent's service nine months. I first went out as nursemaid, then as lady's-maid, and then, at Mr. Kent's, as nursemaid again. During the time I have been there I have never heard Miss Con. stance say anything unkind towards the little boy that is dead, or conduct herself otherwise than kindly towards him. Ido not know whether she brought him home from school a little picture as a present, but I saw her play with him on the day before the murder. Her bedroom is on the second floor, between her sister's room and the room in which the cook and housemaid sleep, and the par tition between the rooms is a very thin one, almost of paper. You can hear everything. When I went to the door of her sisters' room, and kocked at it, Miss Constance came to her own door and opened it, and heard all I said. I did not observe anything at all unusual in her manner. Mrs. Kent never had fetched the little boy while I was sleeping. It was a quarter or twenty minutes to seven o'clock when I first went to Mrs. Kent's doer to ask if she had the little boy ; I looked at the clock on the mantelpiece of the nursery. This is a little room opening out of the nursery, which I use as a dressing-room for myself ; it looks out on the leaden roof of the dining-room, whicji is nearly on a level with the window sill, and the water shoot or gutter along the side of that roof runs along the sill. By opening the window you can very easily get out and stand out on the roof. The youngest child, Eveline, slept in a cot by my bed side. The cot in which the little boy slept was wheeled close up against the wall, on the other side of the room. The door leading into my dress ing-room immediately faces the boy's cot. His head would be towards the nursery window as he lay in the cot. My own bed was not like his cot, close up against the window, because there was the door between. I last saw him on his bed at five minutes past eleven at night. It was five o'clock when I rose up in IRA to cover over Eveline, and then saw that he was not in his cot. I could see that without turning my head, by looking over the baby's cot. I did not get up till a quarter past six, and then I saw that the clothes of the little boy's cot, the counterpane and upper sheet had been turned down neatly from the head to the foot of the bed, but at the head of the bed there was only the bottom sheet and the pillow, with the impression of his head on it. The nursery door was just ajar, scarcely open, and scarcely shut; I am quite sure and certain of that. After I had first gone to Mrs, Kent's room and knocked and got no answer, I went back and dressed little Eveline, and went to Mrs. Kent a second time. I read a chapter in the Bible and said my prayers before I went to Mrs. Kent the first time. That was a quarter or twenty minutes to seven. lam not acquainted with either of the daughters of the washerwoman, or with any one in the village, but I have seen them bring the clothes. Examined by the magistrates—l slept in the room with Miss Constance at her own re quest on the Monday and Tuesday after the murder, and there I could hear the cook and housemaid talking in the next room. On the night of the murder I heard no noise in the nursery where I slept. When I went to sleep the door was not shut, but Mrs. Kent came up and shut it. It was her wish that after I went to bed the door should be left open until she herself went to bed, because one of the children slept in Mrs. Kent's room, and I, with the nursery door open, could hear if it cried. When I went to bed the nursery win dow was barred and the shutters fastened. I found it the same in the morning; the window opens from the inside. I did not miss the blanket from the little boy's cot until it was brought in with the dead body. Miss Constance slept alone on the Sunday night after the murder ; on the Saturday (the night after the murder) she slept with her two sisters; on the Monday with me. William Nutt, parish clerk and shoemaker, the man who found the child's body in the water-closet, was then called, and his former evidence read over to him. He said it was not correct in one particu lar. It was not Mr. Kent who called and told him. He never heard Mr. Kent speak that morning. It was his neighbour, Joseph Greenhill, who called at his gate, and said Mr. Kent had lost his child.

" GOD SAYE THE QUEEN." NEW YORK, July 7.—Among the festivities of the 4th there was an incident, at once delicate and appropriate, which marks the larger growth of our national spirit. It was the introduction of the British loyal melody with our own national airs upon the chimes of Trinity. " Hail Columbia," swaggerer as he is, never looked so well as when he strutted up Broadway to the music of the sweet bells, with " God Save the Queen" hanging like a lady on his arm, and a flock of sparkling little " Yankee Doodles" skipping after. We shall not be accused of a want of patriotism if we echo the wish, "Long life to the thrice noble lady, fair and fruitful scion of a corrupt tree, whose beautiful virtues have redeemed the name of Guelph from execration." Such a Sovereign is not only a bles sing to the particular kingdom over which she reigns, but to all others. If a single good deed in a naughty world throws its beams afar, how wide is the scope of eminent purity in high, places ! All Europe is better for Queen Victoria, and even sturdy Republicanism can gracefully do her homage, for America is not above the benefit of her example. Her spotless life, gentleness, steadfastness, solici tude for the interests of religion and public morals, compassion for the evil-doer, firmness for law, and Royal munificence may well justify the enthusiastic love of her subjects and our hearty respect. If a nation must be ruled by a woman, let it be by such as she. The British nation knows, for it has had other experiences. A bigot, who drenched the land in the best blood of her subjects, and a tyrant, made more false and capricious by the perverted instincts of her sex, have stamped dark records on the pages of English history. We are not unmindful of the golden glory of the Elizabethan age, nor of the regal qualities of the Queen herself. Yet her sister was the truer woman, and her sister's cruelties were more ex cusable than hers. Men must be ruled by strength or gentleness. Not that strength is necessarily un gentle, or that gentleness must be weak ; but the strength of a woman's gentleness is not in the sword, handling which she is usually a tyrant. When the example of a woman like Victoria—an example never spotted by exceptions—goes before a people, all the virtuous rejoice and take courage, while dis honour creeps and hides itself. The national tone is advanced, and wickedness, although it be not cured, is rebuked and silenced, so that the young and unwary are saved from its influence. We said that the incident which has occasioned these thoughts marked the larger growth of our national spirit. Fifty years ago we were on the eve of a second war with England, and for many years after its close a deeply-seated feeling of hostility pre vailed in this country. There are not wanting even now demagogues who seek popular feeling by en couraging this narrow animosity. But we can well afford to forget it. The mother country is far more proud than jealous of our growing strength, and with reason ; for, beset by enenies, to whom could she look for aid in extremity as to us ? Respected by this great nation, from which we separated our selves 84 years ago, and growing in resources and power, we have more to fear from within than from without; for the development of resources disen gages many interests which are liable to collision. This we have found to be true in our history, and for the fraternal adjustment of these interests we should be chiefly solicitous.—New York Paper. THE MAILS. MAILS DUE.
