Offices : —27, Cannon-street, E.C. ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. The works selected, Nrith the approval of Government, for first operations, consist of—lrrigating and Navigable Canals throughout the rich and extensive Deltas of Orissa (in Lower Bengal), and the Districts between those Deltas and the Port and City of Calcutta. These works have been already investigated by Engineer Officers in the service of Government, of known ability and experience, who have pronounced them to be amongst the most important, and in promise the most profitable of their character in India; in tact, the present Secretary of State for India in Council in March last addressed to the Government of India an official communication, calling attention to the importance of constructing these very works, and stating that her Majesty's Government were prepared to carry them into effect as soon as the plans and estimates were approved by the Local Government. A desire to see an unguaranteed company established, he states, led to their concession to this company. The main sources of profit will be : Firstly.—The sale of water to the Government for the irrigation of land. Secondly.—Tolls levied in respect of the use of the Canals and Water-ways by the public. To these may be added as available but subsidiary means of a lditional returns : _ I.—The working of the Canals by the Company by the conveyance of Passengers, Animals, and Goods thereon. 2.—Rent and other income derived from mills and factories established on the banks of the various channels. 3.—Cultivation and sale of timber and other produce raised upon the land of the Company. And, 4.—The supply of water for general purposes. Although these latter are now put forth as secondary only, they should by no means be lost sight of—the first of them has been already ascertained to be highly productive in India, and by the official accounts of the existing Canals in the North-western provinces of Bengal the profits derived from mills, timber, and bank produce, represent a large per tentage upon outlay. The followinc , returns realised by the Government on ex isting works of Irrigation in India will afford some idea of the highly remunerative character of such works, if selected with ordinary judgment. The works connected with the Coleroon River cost £21,700, and for sixteen years returned a net profit of £llB per cent. per annum. The Fordwak Canal cost £2,700, and paid £5,000 in the first year. Another canal in Scinde paid 58 per cent. on its cost during the first year, and a third, which cost £3,600, produced £5,000 in the first year. The Western Jumna Canal has paid £5 per cent., and produced a clear surplus of £1,000,000, the cost of construc tion being £81,458. The works in Maiwara produced a return of 265 per cent. per annum. These are not exceptional instances. Terms of a very favourable character have been arranged with the Secretary of State as the basis of a final Agree ment, to be made with the Government of India at Calcutta. It is proposed to limit the issue of capital in the first in stanoe, to the sum of £1,000,000, divided into 50,000 shares of £2O each, and to take a first deposit of £1 per share only, with a further payment of £1 per share when the final agreement has been concluded ; this will, it is believed, suffice to support effective operations for the first twelve months. Of all subsequent calls, full and timely notice will be given to each shareholder. A full Prospectus and form of applications for shares may now be had upon request at the Company's Offices, 27, Can non .street, E.C., London ; or at the Company's Bankers, Messrs.

(For detailed Prospectus apply to the Brokers, Bankers, er Solicitors.) - • The-object of this Company is to purchase from Mr. Simp son, the present well-known and successful proprietor—who retires, having realised an ample fortune from the profits of this undertaking, - the Lease, Goodwill, and Plant of these head-quarters of suburban recreation and enjoyment. The Cremorne property is held at the nominal ground rent of £63 per annum, the Ashburnham portion included, for an unexpired term of nearly thirty-three years. As evidence of the confidence entertained in the success of the proposed Company, nearly one-half of the capital has been already subscribed. Mr. Simpson becomes one of the largest shareholders in the undertaking, and will ac cept a seat in the Direction immediately after the for mation of the Company. thus affording the Board the benefit of his co-operation in the management. Arrangements have also been made for the retention of the services of his efficient and well-organised staff, thus ensuring the correct and eco nomical working of the business. Since the year 1850, the income has gone on steadily and rapidly increasing. The books of the establishment have been strictly kept, and have been examined, and the accounts audited by Mr. Scrivener, the public accountant: and the average profits of the last five years show that an income equal to a dividend of 20 per cent. upon the capital employed may be confidently anticipated, and that these profits, by a small judicious outlay, are capable of being greatly increased. It is also proposed that every holder of not less than twenty shares shell be entitled to a free admission for himself and friend, subject, however, to such conditions as may be deter mined upon by the direction. • All applications for Shares to be made to the Brokers of the Company, Messrs • Holderness, Fowler, and Co., Change alley, Cornhill; or to the Solicitors, at 7, New Inn, Strand, W.C., in the annexed Form.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual llypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. rickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."---London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford but the moderate price at which the 'bro c h ure ' i s sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press. --/----- C---...) 7 ..- -- ,- ....r--- , 7 ' - ,;,-, - -or------' -- - - e-----../96.-- ,-- (t• .• . . 4 ' 0 Ac* ..5. 4 ) -•:',;::: 4 - . ~ . .. , -..„ if , ~‘,, +1 q ' ' t a , ..r" , E. • 4/C1 "tel.- -, -----: -.-- A- i ~ W*, ' .. , .

Manchester, and say that th e i n t eres t o f d ecease d' s money would be sufficient for her support. In re-examination by Mr. Aspinall, witness said there was only very little sago, perhaps two tea spoonful, in the cup described. Eliza Higgins (sister and fellow-servaut• of the preceding witness) corroborated the evidence of Margaret as to the expressions used by Martin Townsend, and had heard Ann Rowe, a female on friendly terms with Martin (and once a servant in the house) say, in allusion to Winslow, that " if her evidence was taken by the coroner it would hang the Orange dog." Margaret Ann Rowe was called, but merely de scribed the vomitings and purgings to which the deceased was subject. Henry Cafferata examined—Witness, an orna mental japanner and painter, living in Manchester, was troubled with indigestion, and used carbonate of soda, and occasionally ginger and laudanum to alleviate the affection. During one of witness's visits to Liverpool, before Mrs. James's death, Winslow accused him of "going about poisoning the family ;" said he "carried white powders in his pocket ;" that "he did not come to Liverpool for nothing ;" that "he was a second Palmer, and that his wife was as bad as himself." A day or two afterwards prisoner said that he would show witness that he was master. In cross-examination by Mr. Seymour, witness said he had been troubled with indigestion for 14 years. He had recommended laudanum to Mrs. James because he knew it was good to stop purging. During the conversation described with the pri soner, both the latter and witness were in liquor. About a week before Mrs. James's death Wins low complained of an attack of purging, and said that somebody had been " Palmerising" him. Witness volunteered to accompany him to some surgeon or chemist, and they did go for some dis tance, when Winslow stoppedand said he was better. Witness had frequently been to Miller, druggist's shop for laudanum and carbonate of soda. Had con versed with the assistant about antimony, but would not swear that they had conversed as to the diffi culty of tracing antimony to the prisoner's posses sion in this case. Might have said that it would be better for the prisoner to speak the truth, but never used the word " reward." Elizabeth Hughes, nurse at the Liverpool South ern Hospital, was the next witness. She described the reception and movements of Mrs. James at the hospital. From the 10th June to the 24th (when she died), she suffered greatly from vomiting and purging. Witness had preserved the discharges of deceased daily. 'While at the hospital deceased was visited by Martin Townsend, Mrs. Cafferata, and the prisoner, all of whom witness closely watched according to Dr. Cameron's instructions. When the prisoner came on the 13th he gave deceased a cup of coffee, which witness had just prepared ; and he also gave her a little brandy from a bottle on the table. Dr. Cameron was passing through at this time, and requested witness to leave the room, as Winslow wanted to speak to Mrs. James. She did so, but kept an eye on the prisoner, and saw him give the coffee. Deceased drank it all. Mrs. Caffe rata came on the 12th and 15th, but gave deceased nothing. On the 19th, when Winslow came, he gave deceased some arrowroot, which witness had pre pared before. In cross-examination the witness said the brandy and coffee belonged to the hospital. Deceased seemed pleased to take anything from Winslow. In answer to his lordship witness said that both Mrs. James and the prisoner requested her to leave the room when the latter came. Ann Foley (a charwoman employed occasionally at Mrs. James's) remembered receiving money from Mrs. James herself to buy " pantimony," but she did not get it, and Winslow, who was present when deceased said "I knew she would not get it, for it is poison," was angry. Mrs. James said that wit ness was not to mind him. Edward Price Rees, assistant to Mr. Miller, che mist and druggist, knew the prisoner from his fre quently coming to their shop, and had a strong im pression (though he would not swear) that the pri soner was one of three persons who had called at his shop and asked for antimony. The man said he wanted to poison a dog, but witness refused to sup ply the antimony, though he said if the dog were brought to the shop he would poison it. One of the three persons who called was a woman, but he could not identify Mrs. Foley as that person. In cross-examination witness said that Cafferata had called frequently at the shop, and had told wit ness that he would be better paid in the long r.in if he told the truth relative to the Winslow case. Elizabeth Brannon deposed that about two years ago, when she was a servant at Mrs. James's, and about to leave for Dublin, Winslow asked her to buy him half-a-crown's worth of antimony, and said if she would forward it to him safely he would give her £5. He said he wanted the antimony to poi son rats. She refused to procure the antimony. In cross-examination witness's statement was not shaken. Thomas Maguire was the next witness. He said he had lived at Mrs. James's for 18 months before January last, and had frequently been there since. On the 4th June, 1859, remembered prisoner send ing for something to Mr. Miller's shop. It was a white powder. The prisoner said it was for a dog, and that it would either kill or cure. The prisoner mixed it with water, and then killed the dog. The dog vomited very much. About half an hour after wards the prisoner sent again for the same thing. He got the powder—the assistant took it from the sixth or seventh bottle on the shelf—and brought it to Winslow, but he did not know what Winslow did with it. Had been to the shop with Inspector Horn, and pointed out the bottle. When witness lived at Mrs. James's he had frequently seen the prisoner, when preparing bread and butter for the deceased, sprinkle some white powder, which he took from his pocket, on the bread, then spread the butter over it, and afterwards put the powder in his pocket. On one or two occasions when witness asked the prisoner what this powder was, he said it was " fine salt." The last time when witness saw the pri soner do this was since he left, about three or four months ago. In cross - examination the witness admitted that he had a very bad memory ; that he had received the sum of Os. from the prosecution, and that with this he treated Martin Townsend and himself to liquor ; and that they had conversed about the case, bat that Martin had not said anything about antimony. Witness was aware that Mrs. James was said to have died from poisoning, but did not say anything about what he knew until after the committal of the prisoner, because he did not want to have anything to do with the case. This was the reason also that, though he told Horn about the white powder, he did not at first say anything about the bread and butter. He knew that the dog was killed on the 4th June, because there was an inscription to that effect on the flag beneath which it was buried. Thos. Copeland, Mr. Miller's assistant, never re membered seeing Maguire at the shop, and would not have sold antimony to any one on his own re sponsibility. Witnesses were then called to prove that pre scriptions which had been made up for deceased contained no antimony. John Fraser, formerly a lodger at Mrs. James's, recognised a notice for the withdrawal of money from the savings bank as in the prisoner's hand writing, as also the signature, "Ann James," though the latter was written in a different style. John H. Hugo, c'erk at the savings bank, Bold street, Liverpool, proved that the deceased had an account there. George Miller, cashier to the Liverpool Gas Com pany, said the deceased held £lOO of stock in that concern, and deposed also to the prisoner calling at the office to request that the shares might be trans ferred to him, as he said Mrs. James was very ill, and this was her wish. Witness told him this could be done by will or transfer, and referred Winslow to the solicitor to the company, Mr. Lloyd. Wm. ,T. Lloyd, nephew and clerk to Mr. J. B. Lloyd, solicitor, of Liverpool, was then examined, and described the circumstances attending the de ceased's making her will. Winslow was appointed sole executor, and in reference to leaving him the goodwill the deceased said, when making her will, " As Winslow made the business, it is only right I should leave it to him." Dr. J. B. Edwards, analytical chemist, was then examined—From examination of the excretions of the deceased, from the 7th to the 24th of June, wit ness obtained upon copper foil deposits of antimony in various quantities. He found antimony also in the portions of the viscera, intestines, blood, &c., which he had examined; and satisfied himself of the accuracy of his analysis by the most rigid scien tific tests. There was no antimony in the uncooked sago which he examined, nor in the medicines. He took the lungs and spleen to London on the 26th June, and examined them in conjunction with Dr. Taylor and Dr. Miller. Witness examined the body of the dog which had been exhumed from the yard of Mrs. James's house, but found no antimony. In cross-examination the witness said that had anti mony been taken and no vomiting ensued he should have expected to have found antimony in the dog.

TILE LATE FATAL GUN ACCIDENT. ADJOURNED INQUIRY. DOVER, TUESDAY. The adjourned inquiry into the circumstances re lative to the recent fulfil gun explosion at Dover, by which two members of the Dover and Cinque Ports Artillery Volunteer Corps were unfortunately killed, whilst others were severely wounded, was resumed this morning at ten o'clock before W. H. Payne, Esq., the coroner. Mr. John Gange, examined—l was late ordnance storekeeper to the 'War Department at Dover. My attention has been called to the late accident. Two guns were issued from my store on Sept. 13, 1859. The age was not on this gun—it is sometimes placed on the trunnions, but it was not so in this case. I have no doubt most of these 32-pounders were cast in the reign of George 111. One of the guns in this battery bears the date 1803. It appears from what Colonel Stotherd says that 180 rounds have been fired from this gun sinee it has been placed in Arch cliff battery. I suppose they are proved by large charges of gunpowder. I cannot say whether the system of proving is the same as it was formerly. The bursting of this gun appears to me to have arisen from circumstances over which no human being could have any control. I will not say posi tively that the planks were not rotten in No. 2 plat form. Captain Andrew Noble examined—l am assistant inspector of artillery at Woolwich. I know the exact age of this gun. It was cast by Walker and Co., and it was proved at Woolwich in the year 1805. The present mode of testing is by a double charge of powder and a service projectile, and firing two rounds. Formerly, I believe, there was a much severer proof. I have ascertained the date of the proving of this gun from the records in the books. After the gun was proved it was issued in the same year to her Majesty's navy. The gun was searched end painted,at Plymouth in 1808, and it belonged to the Edgar. It was next searched and painted in 1809. It was afterwards put on board the Barham at Chatham, in l 812. Subsequently it was shipped in the Asia in 1836. That ship must have gone on foreign service. Between the years 1812 and 1836 the gun was on shore, probably in store. It was returned to Woolwich on Sept. 16, 1845, andpassed the examiners on Oct. 8, 1845. The vent was found . 275—rather full. It was sentenced to be re-vented. Gn the 21st of June, 1850, :it was selected to be issued to Dover, and it was reported to the principal military storekeeper, at Woolwich, on the 26th of August, 1850. By the Jury—As an officer of artillery in com mand of the firing party, I could not have told whether the gun was in a fit state to be fired or not. By the Coroner—.lt is generally the case that a ball reaches its destination when a gun bursts. The suspicion of the cartridge not being properly home would not have any effect upon the bursting of the gun. The charge was undoubtedly rammed well home, otherwise the friction tube could not have exploded it. James fell, sworn—l am a grocer residing in Dover, and a gunner in Ist Cinque Ports Volunteer Artillery. I was serving as No. 2at No. 2 gun on the round at which the explosion took place. It was my duty to ram the cartridge home with the assist ance of No. 3. I saw No. 3 put the cartridge into the gun. The cartridge was properly rammed home. Mr. Alex. Bottle, sworn—l am a practical che mist, residing in Dover. I attended the scene of the ' accident by the gun explosion and examined the fragments of the gun, and I am of opinion that de terioration in this metal bad not gone on to such a considerable extent as to render explosion inevit able under average circumstances. lam of opinion, notwithstanding what I have heard this morning, that the explosion of that gun arose from the absence of recoil. The Coroner having briefly addressed the jury, after a short absence from the court, they returned the following verdict : " The jury are of opinion that the death of Lieu tenant George Thomas Thompson and Sergeant John Monger was caused by the bursting of a gun at Archcliff Fort on the evening of the 9th inst., while at ball practice ; and that the said accident was accelerated by the long use of the gun, and from the metal not being of a quality suitable for the casting of guns for artillery practice. The jury are unanimously of opinion - that a periodical in spection forts should take place." The inquiry terminated about two of all guns used in o o'clock. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LivEItrooL, AUG. 21. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron Martin.) THE ANTIMONY POISONINGS AT LIVERPOOL. At 9 o'clock this morning the trial was resumed. Before Inspector Horn, who w as under examina tion when the court adjourned yesterday, was re called, Dr. Cameron, in reply to questions by his lord ship, stated that the first effect of antimony was nausea, which was followed by sickn ess . Eli m i na t e d antimony was injurious from it s interference with the performance of their functions by the various organs. Inspector Horn recalled—Witness, a few days after the examination before the magistrates, went with Maguire into Mr. Miller's (druggist) shop, in Tithebarn-street, Liverpool, and when told to point out the shelf whence the " white powder" (for which Winslow had sent him) had b een supplied, Maguire pointed to a particular shelf, and said, " It was about there." In cross-examination by Mr. Sernour, Horn said he had been told that Winslow When the prisoner called at the was an Orangeman. Police-office to say that Mrs. James was much better..., he seemed to be pleased. The dog upon which Mr. Kehoe (of the detective police) had informed th e magistrates the prisoner had made some experiments was exhumed before witness visited Mille r ' s sbo. Did not know why Maguire was not examined before Did not know a person named the justices. Chap man . A person named Woodcock did call at the police office, but he did not mention Chapma n . It was the prisoner who told witness that Mrs. James herself had the key of the drawer where her effects were found. Witness cut out the prisoner's trousers and waist coat pockets, and handed them to Dr. Edwards for analysis and examination. The next witness was Henry 13agnall, a night assistant to Winslow. He corroborated other wit nesses as to the with regularity which Winslow prepared the food for the deceased at night, and remembered the 9th and 1 0th of June, but could not swear that any food was taken up to Mrs. James on the night of th e 9th. In cross-ex amination Bagnall said that when Winslow pre pared the food for deceased he did it in the ordinary way, and openly, Mrs. James's tea being taken from the large teapot which also supplied the cus tomers to the shop. Prisoner never went into de ceas Al's room unless she knocked or he wanted change. He always attended Mrs. James cheer fully and with alacrity. Margaret Higgins was next called, but was not examined in chief. In cross-e xamination by Mn Seymour, witness said that sh e and her sister were both servants in Mrs. James's house. Had known Martin Townsend prepare food for deceased shortly before her death. Deceased partook of some fish which witness had seen Martin Townsend fry, and almost immediately afterwards she vomited. The fish was fried in the place where Martin ordinarily prepared his food. When witness was holding Mrs. James's head, during this sickness, Martin came into the room, and took the remainder of the fish away. Witness had prepared food for Mrs. James, and the deceased had Vomited after it. About half-past Bin the morning June witness went into Mrs. James's of the 10th of • ames's room, and noticed a cup with some sago remaining in it on the chair close to the bed, but no Cup of tea and egg on the table. Witness took up the sago, and after wards took it downstairs, where she herself ate the sago which was in it. 11rs. Cafferata had taken deceased sago during the previous afternoon. On the table was another cup, which remained until the police :came ; but witness, did not observe w hether there was anything in it. Wi tness did not know who prepared the sago of which the de ceased had p irtaken. Witness went downstairs on the occasion just mentioned, saw the prisoner and Martin Townsend there, and heard him use the expression, " I have waited a long time for this opportunity, and it has come at last. lam master " Martin, after the case h a d b een b efore the magistrates, threatened witness and her sister that he would ruin their characters if they did did not " back out" of what they had said. The Townsend family and Mrs. James were not on very good terms. The prisoner always seemed very kind and attentive to deceased. Martin Townsend complained that Mrs. James would not allow him money for drink, but he would hav e a ll a f ter h er death. Mrs. James was vexed with Martin on ac count of his irregularities. Witness had h ear d M r s. Cafferata ask Mrs. James to take a cottage near • - e ? _-- _ , • F 71 04, . and daughter repeated their statements, to kbITZ-T-A.-4 -he set up a general denial. Paynter, in reference to the allusion the deAl 11 fendant has made to the Walworth murder, x pressed his b e li e f th a t, h a d th e d e f en d ant been per mitted to return home in the violent state of drunkenness in which he was captured, there was much reason to fear he would have te-enacted that fearful tragedy. He (the magistrate) thought this one of the worst cases of the kind that had ever come before him. Defendant was remanded till Thursday. GREENWICH.--Jah n Lawes, a man employed as a stoker at the Surrey Consumers' Gas Works, Rotherhithe, was placed in the dock before Mr. Mande, charged with committing a violent assault upon Margaret Barry, a young woman, residing at 3, Neptune-street, Rotherhithe. The complainant, who appeared exceedingly ill from the effect of the prisoner's violence, said the prisoner had been living with her mother for a period of three years, and last evening, about II o'clock, he returned home and wished her to go out with him. This she refused to do, remarking it was an improper hour to leave home, upon which the prisoner seized hold of her and struck her three violent blows with his fist in the face, knocking her down, and then kicking her in the stomach. She (complainant) called out for assistance, and a lodger in the house went for a police-cOnstable. The prisoner admitted striking the complainant, but denied kicking her. lie then said he had been living with complainant's mother three years, and had been paying his addresses to the complainant, to whom he was engaged to be married. Mr. Maude—What ! Cohabiting with the mother and keeping company with her daughter ? Did ever anybody hear such disgraceful profligacy ? And (turning to the complainant) is this true ? The complainant hung down her head, and made no answer to the question put. The prisoner said he was very sorry, and if his worship would look over the charge he would pro mise he would have nothing more to do either with complainant or her mother. The mother of the complainant here stepped for ward and corroborated her daughter's statement as to the violence committed. She also admitted having lived with the prisoner, by whom she had had two children, both of whom were dead. Mr. Maude said it was truly shocking to witness the disgraceful profligacy which had been exhibited. With this, however, he had nothing to do, but the assault he could punish ; and as the case was one which a recent Act of Parliament was intended to meet, the prisoner would be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three months. P.,UCE 4D - ST•IPED, 51). Southern Hospital, made the post-mortem examina tion of Mrs. James, and was of opinion that death was caused by the cancer in the eenna, but, taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration, and assuming the evidence of Dr. Edwards to be correct, that death had been accelerated by the ad ministration of antimony. Dr. Francis Ayrton, surgeon, who was present at the post mortem examination, corroborated the opinion that death had been accelerated by anti mony. In re-examination by Mr. Bliss, the witness said he imputed the redness found in the intestines to antimony, and not to natural causes. Dr. A. S. Taylor examined—On the 10th July he received from Inspector Horn, at Guy's Hospital, three jars, containing part of the stomach, the diseased ccecum, portion of the liver, one kidney, the heart, and a portion of the intestines, and sub sequently received from Dr. Edwards the whole of the spleen and a large portion of the lungs. With the exception of the spleen and the lungs, he divided the viscera and delivered one-half to Dr. Miller. The spleen, liver, and lungs contained anti mony. The deposits on copper produced by Dr. Edwards were also found to be antimonial deposits. He believed that the antimony must have been ad ministered during life, and that antimony given to a person labouring under Mrs. James's disease would tend to accelerate death. He had formed the opi nion that in this case the antimony had been ad ministered in small doses. Antimony, according to his experience, was not found in an absorbed state in the system beyond 15 or 20 days. During this interval it might be found in the secretions. In cross-examination witness said he could not tell in what degree antimony had ac ce l era t e d th e deceased's death. Life must have terminated sooner or later according to the strength of the person. So long as poison remained in the body and affected it, and disease was present also, witness did not believe that the disease would subvert the poison. Dr. William Allan Miller, professor in King's College, Lond on , expressed his entire concurrence in the evidence of Dr. Taylor. This closed the case for the prosecution, and the Court was adjourned until next (Wednesday) morning, when Mr. Digby Seymour will address the jury on behalf of the prisoner. ja S 1)./1.,‘P POLIVE INTELLIGENCE-Aug. 21. MARLBOROUGH -STREET.—Algernon Gre ville, a cornet in the Ist Regiment of Life Guards, stationed at the Albany Barracks, Regent's -park, was summoned for an assault on Mr. John Samuel Smith, surveyor, of 44, Bedford-row, and Mr. Anthony Wellington Irvine, solicitor, of 5, Gray's inn-square, under the following circumstances : There were two summonses, but the hearing of both was embodied in one. Mr. Sleigh, the barrister, conducted the case, whilst Mr. Edward Lewis, of Marlborough-street, appeared for the defence. The defendant was accommodated with a seat at the solicitors' table. Mr. Sleigh informed the Ccurt that this was a case arising out of the return from Egham races, and the assault complained of occurred in the Ux bridge-road. It would be proved that the two gen tlemen for whom he appeared were riding in a Hansom cab, and the defendant, whose conduct in a public thoroughfare was most unbecoming that of a gentleman and an officer holding her Majesty's commission, on the roof of a four-in-hand carriage coming in a contrary direction, apparently return ing from the race-course. It might have been, he had been amusing himself at the game of Aunt Sally ; but whatever he had been at, certain it was that, when within a few yards of the cab, he was seen to rise, and, poising himself, deliberately take aim at his clients. In an instant the long wooden bodkin or pen-case, now produced, was propelled pointways with great force towa r d s th em , an d, providentially missing an eye, struck the cab, but so near a personal injury as to graze Mr. Smith's hat. Directly alighting from their cab, the gen tlemen ran after the "four-in-hand," and demanded at least an apology; but this was refused, and then, smarting naturally under the very unprovoked. insult and assault committed, they asked 'defen dant for his card, resolved upon public grounds to bring the matter before the Court, in order to show that gentlemen and officers must not act in this aggressive manner with impunity. The defendant said if the gentleman would hand hint a pencil he would write his name for him. Did so, and then with a laugh, and what is termed " chaff," invited his clients, the complainants, to settle the affair over a bottle of sherry, at his and his friends' barracks, which they indignantly de clined. It was felt that a dangerous practical joke, if it might be termed so, had been put in practice, that the missile propelled, if it had struck the eye, might have destroyed the sight, and it was resolved to take out the present proceedings, and show the defendant and other larking young gentlemen that such conduct on public grounds should be punished. Some conversation at the conclusion of the learned gentleman's opening ensued between the respective friends of the parties as to an amicable adjustment. The complainants were agreeable to withdraw pro vided a reasonably handsome gratuity was paid into the poor box. A sum of £2O was offered, and cheer fully consented to, with an apology, but the defen dant and his friends objected to the reimbursement of costs, and the evidence was therefore gone into, Mr. Beadon observing that he would give no advice, and that he was there to hear the case if the sum mons issued was put in. Mr. Sleigh said to prove the outrage he would first call Mr. Smith. The facts given in Mr. Sleigh's opening address having been fully deposed to and corroborated by Mr. Irvine, who stated that the missile was hurled with such force and violence that it broke in two halves with the blow, and it was most providential serious personal injury was not inflicted. Mr. Lewis, for the defence, thought that much had been imported into the case by his learned friend not necessary to the charge. Divested of this flowery rhetoric he submitted it was simply the freak of an elated officer and a gentleman returning from the races; and although he was not for one moment attempting to justify the act of the defen dant in throwing such a missile, he considered it would have been better to have accepted an apology with the accompanying gift to the poor-box. Mr. Smith was here asked if there were not other vehicles passing at the time, and replied that there were not ; and he was not aware the driver of the defendant's carriage was Capt. Paton. Mr. Lewis, in conclusion, said the defendant re gretted the act, and had instructed him to say that many vehicles hal been passing, and their occu pants and the defendant had been pelting each other ; that, too, he wouldn't attempt to justify, and he trusted the case would be dealt with as a com mon assault, and a merely nominal fine inflicted. Mr. Deaden observed that throwing missiles one at another was not alone a silly but a dangerous pastime, and certainly ought not to be indulged in. In this case it might have been attended with very serious consequences. When lie was at the Ham mersmith Court many such cases came before him, and he recollected on one occasion a boy's eye was cut out. Much had been said about " public grounds," and on public grounds be should go and deal with this case as he had always done, by in flicting such a fine as he thought would meet the justice of it. If injury had ensued he should have sent it to the sessions ; as it was he should fine the defendant £5, or two months' imprisonment. WESTMINSTER.—On Monday two very re spectable-looking women, mother and daughter, en treated the magistrate's protection under the follow ing circumstances : The elder woman, who appeared in a very deli cate state of health, said she had been compelled to come there through fear of her life, which, with her daughter's, was placed in great danger by her hus band's threats, which were of the most violent and fearful character. He was constantly drunk, and his continued brutality was having a serious effect on her constitution. That morning, as he left the house, he declared that he would come home blind drunk, that he would commit another Walworth murder, and that his should be the next public exe cution. So brutalised had he become through the effects of intoxication, that he had stood over the bed of a child eight years old, in the last stage of consumption, and threatening its immediate de struction. Upon this representation, confirmed by the daughter, who complained that her father threw her down on the floor, tore all her clothes off ex cepting her under garment, and then threw her into the street upon her head, hurting her very much, Mr. Paynter issued a warrant against the accused, Edward Knott, who was apprehended in the course of the afternoon by Skaite, one of the summoning officers, in so violent and filthy a state of drunkenness that he was unfit to be brought before the magistrate. Besides this he resisted the officer, and conducted himself so outrageously while in his cell that he nearly broke the door down, and it was found necessary to restrain him. On being brought before the magistrate his wife THE MURDER AT STEPNEY. Up to yesterday evening nothing had transpired positively tending to implicate any one in the murder of the unfortunate woman Mrs. Emsley. For the present indeed the matter is invested with almost as much mystery as the tragedy at Road, although some of the most experienced detective officers from the head-quarters of the metropolitan police in Scotland-yard, in addition to the local divisional police, are actively engaged in endeavour ing to throw fresh light upon it. A rumour was current last night in the vicinity of the murder that the relatives of the deceased intend to offer some considerable reward for the apprehension and con viction of the assassin. This, or a similar step on the part of the Home Secretary, would doubtless stimulate exertion, and the more so if it were offered quickly, when the matter is fresh in the public mind. It is said there are circumstances pointing to a cer tain conclusion, but as to the nature of them, and the course of action being taken, the authorities occupied in the investigation are obliged for the present to manifest a necessary reserve, as well to prevent their exertions being baffled as, in the event of being on the wrong scent, to keep secret the fact that they were ever set on foot in that direction, lest, in a matter so delicate, suspicion should possi bly alight upon an innecent person. Those engaged in the inquiry seem sanguine of success, and there is a general belief that the murderer will, before long, be in the hands of justice. On Monday even ing, after the inquest had been adjourned, the body of the deceased, at the instance of Mr. Rose, who had acted as her solicitor, was placed first in a leaden and then an oak coffin, and removed from her late residence to the Tower Hamlets Cemetery, not, however, for immediate interment, but to be placed in a repository there, and so to remain for the present. It is supposed by those best acquainted with her affairs that she might have had £5O or £lOO in the house on the Monday night on which it is presumed the murder was committed. The man ner in which the £4B odd was found secreted in her coal cellar on Monday morning last, when the house was being searched, assuming it was placed there by her own hands, is a little suggestive of her penurious turn of mind, and it may be of an ap prehension that the knowledge other wealth might conduce to an attempt at robbery or violence. It was discovered underneath about a ton of coals— £32 of it; in gold, being wrapped in a piece of wash leather, and £l6 25., in silver, was in a tin case; the whole being rolled in a piece of dirty printed cotton. It was her habit to lodge sums of money in the London and Westminster Bank, on deposit notes, but never for any length of time, for she held bankers' interest in small_ esteem, and—the money being readily available, in that shape—she was always seeking opportu nities for a more profitable investment of it. With this view she bought little patches of house property in some of the most wretched parts of Bethnal green and the surrounding neighbourhood, the rents of which she spent the most of her time in collecting personally from a humble class of people, to none of whom she gave, on any pretence, more than a week's grace, and in case ofnon-payment had, immediate recourse to a speedy process of ejectment unknown to the law. She owned whole streets in some of the most poverty-stricken districts in the east of London, in one of which, Barnsley-street, she was engaged collecting rents on the afternoon of Monday week, the day on which she was la.s't seen alive; and she had also property at Romfor d, Da genham, Barking, Peckham, and other places within a moderate radius of London. Except a niece, she appears to have had no blood rogations, but since her death several persons have turned up to claim kindred to her, none of whose pretensions as yet stand the test of examination. Not long ago she intimated to a friend her intention to devote most of her wealth to the endowment of an alms house after her death, and it is said consulted her solicitor as to the preparation of a will cai Tying out her views in that and other respects, but bier violent death supervened before the wish was embodied in legal form. All her deeds and muniments she kept deposited in her own house, and on art exami nation yesterday by her solicitor they were:all found in order and intact. About 17 years ago, be ing then a widow, she married her second husband, Mr. Ems ley, now dead, and on that occasion some property she had in her own right was settled in her i nsterest in trustees, who have ever since continued to act for her. The second marriage is said not to ha ve been a happy one, and since her husband's death she has maintained little or no intimacy with his ry :lations. About the beginning of this month she bought £l6O worth of paperhangings, part of a bankruplls stock, which she kept stored in her house in Grave-road; and it is thought that this had somethia ig to do with her death, the suggestion being that the mur derer had obtained admission to her houste on the pretence of buying some of the paper, an that it was while a bargain was being made for it that she received the blow which deprived her of THE ANCIENT ORDER OF FORESTER S.—The annual demonstration of the Ancient Order of I 'oresters Registered Friendly Society took place yesterday at the Crystal Palace for the purpose of augmenting tv ro of the funds of the order—viz., the widow and orphan at A funeral funds.
