THE ABODE OF LOVE OR AGAPEItiONE AGAIN. JUDGES' CHAMBERS—THIS DAY. (Before Mr. Baron Wilde.) THE QUEEN V. THE REV. LEWIS PRICE. Mr. Bishop, of the firm of Bishop and Son, and Registrar of the Greenwich and Woolwich County Counts, with Mr. Lovibond, solicitor, of Bridgewater, applied for and ob.. tained a writ of Habeas Corpus on the part of Mrs. Harriet Lancaster Price, directed to her husband, the Rev. Lewis Price, to produce her before Mr. Baron Wilde, at his Chambers, and to show cause by what authority he had forcibly removed and detained her in close custody, and refused her permission to return to the Abode of Love, and join Brother Prince and other inmates. The applicants, in support of the application, showed that Mrs. Price had, at her own free will and the consent of her husband, joined the community of the Agape monites, and that his accession from that body, and his wishes for her to retire were opposed by her, that her removal had been made by stratagem and force, and that it was her strict determination and desire to return to her former residence, the Abode of Love, and that she was now placed under a state of imprisonment and pre vented from returning. Mrs. Price went on to say that she desired at once to return, that she did not desire to remain with her husband, and that she had given Ms. Starkey, who was with her when she was abducted, every authority to instruct Mr. Lovibond to take every necessary legal proceedings to obtain her liberty and freedom of action to return to her former abode. Mr. Baron Wylde, without expressing any opinion in the case, thought there was sufficient prima feels evidence to justify the writ of Habeas Corpus being issued forthwith, and made an order accordingly. The writ was at once issued, and sent by express train, and will be served on Mr. Price, at Glastonbury, this evening. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS D 21.1.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION 7'o LICENSED VICTUALLERS—A DEPRITED FAMILY.—Owen Moran, a man who hawks chickweed, &c., was charged with the following robbery : The prisoner and his family are about as shockingly depraved a lot as it is possible to find. Along with his wife he only came out of prison yesterday, where they had spent three months for sending their children out begging—the said children having been for a long time a perfect pest at the West-end of the town. One of them, named Catherine Moran, who was committed by Mr. Beaden yesterday for one month for begging, although only 12 years of age, has for some time past set up a home of her own, cohabiting with a boy of a similar age in Charles-street, Drury-lane. Palmer, 191 C, said that about one this morning he saw the prisoner with a basket of chickweed on his back, and seeing something in it glitter he stopped him, and en re moving the chickweed he found two measures, a quart and a pint, belonging to different publicans. Thomas Louden, waiter at the Scotch Stores, 365, Ox ford-street, Mr. Ricks, identified one of the measures, and John Watts, servant to Messrs. Smith and Lipscomb, Lis son-grove, identified the other, remarking that he knew it well from having had his head cut open with it. Prisoner—Do what you like with me. Settle it here. I didn't know I had them, and there is no use whatsomdever denying it. Londell said his master had lost 12 quarts out of 19 in a few weeks. The prisoner, who evidently uses the chickweed as a screen while pot stealing, was committed by Mr. Beadon for three months, with hard labour. THAMES. EXTENSITI SEIZURE OF FOREIGN TOBACCO.—Riehard Smart, Richard Putter, John Childs, Richard Heeld, Jonathan Clark, and Stephen Golden Geddes, seamen, ad at the time of their apprehension forming part of the crew of the steamship Ancona, belong to the St. Petereburgh Steam Shipping Company, were brought before Mr. Yard ley, charged, on a Custom-house information, witk smug gling 2301b5. of foreign manufactured tobaczo, liable to a duty of Os. sd. per lb. The Crown sued for penalties to the amount of £6OO. A clerk from the Customs' solicitor's office attended on the part of the Crown. Mr. Richard John, clerk to Mr. Cuttarns, solicitor, of Mark-lane, watched the case for the owners of the Ancona, whose interests were put in jeopardy by the illegal con duct of the prisoners. Mr. William Taylor, a Custom-house officer, said that on Sunday afternoon last when the Ancona landed in the river he went on board, and upon making an examination of the forecastle he discovered several packages, and on opening them he found they contained a quantity of foreign tobacco. Smith and Putter were there at the time he seized the tobacco. The other prisoners were also on board. He seized the tobacco, and by direction of the Board of Cus toms afterwards took the prisoners into custody. In answer to Mr. Yardley, the witness said that Ike whole of the prisoners slept in the forecastle. Their bertha were there. He conveyed the tobacco to the Queen's ware house to be weighed. Mr. Alfred Parsons, locker in the Queen's warehouse, said that he received the tobacco and produced samples of it. The net weight was 230 lbs., and the value and duty £ll9 10s. The secretary of the St. Petersburgh Steam Packet Company stated that the seamen had introduced the tobacco into the ship quite unknown to the captain and officers, and they must have been aware they were doing wrong. Mr. Yardley said he was perfectly satisfied that neither the owners or the captain of the Anoona would give their sanction to such proceedings, or tolerate any smuggling whatever on the part of the crew. An attempt had been made to defraud the revenue to a large extent. The pri soners were on board the Ancona when the seizure was made. He had no alternative but to fine them £lOO each, and to be imprisoned until the fines were paid. TILE ROAD MURDER. The determination of Mr. Dunn, Mr. Kent's soli citor, not to allow his client or any of the house hold to accede to the request of Mr. Slack, the soli tor appointed by the 'W iltshire magistrates to investigate the case, that they should be examined by him at his private office in Bath, has at length induced Mr. Slack to accept Mr. Dunn's offer that an examination of all concerned should take place at Road-hill House, in Mr. Dunn's presence. An intimation to that effect was conveyed in a letter received by Mr. Dunn on Friday morning last, and on Friday afternoon Mr. Slack, together with a superintendent of police, attended at Mr. Kent's house, and commenced by examining most minutely Sarah Cox, the housemaid and the cook, who has never yet publicly given evidence. The examina tion was recommenced on Saturday, when the two eldest Misses Kent, and the youngest daughter—a little girl of two and a half years of age—were examined. On Monday and Tuesday afternoons the other domestics and others were submitted to a similar ordeal, and the inquiry was adjourned until to-day (Wednesday), when it is expected that it will be concluded. Of course the investigation is strictly private, and although Mr. Dunn has been present, yet we gather that he has taken no active part in the proceedings, except occa sionally interposing to request that some ques tion be put down in an altered form. No cross-ex amination of any kind has, we understand, been attempted, and the replies have been recorded in the precise form in which the interrogations were made. The evidence of each witness has been read over and signed by the witness. Of course, no evidence has been taken on oath. Should it be intended by Mr. Slack, asis rumoured, to publish these deposi tions, their,exparte character will cause them to militate strongly against certain persons, and until explanations are made, their effect would probably be to inculpate those who might after all be shown to be wholly innocent. On Monday morning Mr. Slack examined at the Woolpeck Inn, Beckington, the boy Holliday, a clownish fellow, sixteen years of age, who, it will be remembered, was discharged from Mr. Kent's employ on the day of the murder. He was the first to arrive at the house on the morning of the mur der, and then directly cleaned the knives. It is very generally stated that his evidence, which has never been before taken, is of a. remarkably important character, but as hitherto he has been sin gularly sullen and taciturn on the subject, and has over and over again made contradictory statements through sheer stupidity and obstinacy, not much importance attaches to what he may say. On the night of the murder, it has been well ascertained that he slept at his home at Beckington. Up to the present time neither Mr. nor Mrs. nor Constance Kent have been examined. Whether it is Mr. Slack's intention to continue to regain from examining them it isitapossible to say. The nurse has expressed her willingness to come forward when required. f d o a r y' brpwing purposes at £l4 145.

THE COLNEY HATCH CASE. William Slater and William Vivian, who were keepers in the Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum, were indicted for the manslaughter of Wm. Swift, an inmate of that institution. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Sleigh prosecuted on behalf of the Commissioners of Lunacy ; Mr. Robinson de fended Vivian, and Mr. Metcalfe was for Slater. The learned Sergeant said that the case was one which would create much anxiety, although it was surrounded with very considerable difficulties. The charge against the prisoners was that they, being keepers of the Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum, and having care of patients, so treated one of them named Swift as to cause his death. The de ceased was sent to Colney Hatch Asylum in the early part of the present year, and was considered a dangerous lunatic —indeed there was no doubt that he was a confirmed lunatic, and that he could never be anything else. On Wed nesday, the 9th of May, the deceased made an attack upon a keeper named Gann, and the keeper struck him in self defence, but there was no ground for supposing that he used any unnecessary violence. Upon that occasion the deceased had the best of the struggle. The keeper was injured, and he hardly knew how he was delivered from the lunatic, but it turned out upon inquiry that he was extricated by other people, and as far as he knew he inflioted no injury upon the deceased, although in the struggle they fell down to • getber on the floor side by side. From that period down to Saturday evening the lunatic was in his ordinary state of health, and exhibited no signs of injury. He moved and walked about with the greatest facility. On that Saturday evening, Slater, one of the prisoners, went to Mr. Tyerman, the surgeon of the asylum, and said that Swift was dead;. that he had bad an epileptic fit, and that he had died in it A post mortem examination was made, and it was found that six ribs were fractured on one side and five on the other. The sternum was fractured right across. The liver was ruptured, and a considerable quantity of extravasated blood had found its way to the stomach. Inquiries were made amongst the lunatics, and it was found that the pri soners had been guilty of acts of groat cruelty towards the deceased. The question at issue was whether the deceased died in an epileptic fit, or from the violence of the two men Slater and Vivian. William Gann, examined by Mr. Sleigh, said the de ceased was about 50 years of age, and was a large powerful man. The deceased made an attack upon him and he struck him in the stomach in self-defence. They fell to gether, and he did not know hoW he was extricated. He saw the deceased again that night at eight o'clock. Wit ness said " Good night" to him, and he made no ccmplaint. On the following morning deceased showed him a bruise on the right side of the stomach where witness had struck him, but he did not appear to have sustained any further injury. By Mr. Metcalfe—He struck th• deceased Tiobantly. It was a life and death struggle between them. By Mr. Robinson—Swift, the deceased, was a very vio lent lunatic. When he came to the asylum he had marks round his waist by which he had apparently been chained down. Charles Reed, an attendant at the asylum, examined by Sergeant Ballantine, said he was called to the assistance of Gann, when he was attacked by Swift. Swift had got Gann do wn, and had his hand on his neckcloth. Witness said, " Let go Swift," and ho let go immediately. lie saw the deceased frequently afterwards (on the same and subse quent days), and there did not appear to be anything the matter with him. lie made no complaints. There was nothing peculiar about his breathing. On seeing him on the following morning, Swift said to witness " It's a lucky thing for him that you came last night, I should have killed him." By Mr. Meteslte--Ile could not say that Swift was not suffering from injury when he saw him except from his observation. By Mr. Robinson—lie did not know what was Swift's special delusion. He fancied that he possessed great wealth, that he was the strongest man in the world, and that he had killed 300 or 400 Catholics. Samuel Clarke, one of the lunatics, was called and said he lived at Grove Hall. He used to reside at Colney Hatch. He knew the two men in the dock. They were atten dants in Colney Hatch. He knew a man named Swift. On the Saturday he ■aw him taken from the airing court into the ward. It was about ten minutes to five. Vivian caught hold of him by the collar, and Swift said he would go with him where he liked. The other man (Slater) was there. Vivian met Slater, and said he had been waiting for him, as ho could not keep Swift quiet. Vivian then took hold of Swift, tripped up his legs, and threw him on his back. Both Vivian and Slater then kicked him, punched him, jumped upon him with their knees, and stamped upon him with their feet—principally on the chest. They then took him into the padded room. There was a great noise, and he heard Swift crying out. Once he called out " Murder," and at other times he called upon them not to ill-use and kick him in that way. 'Witness went into the airing room, from which he could see into the padded room. He saw Slater's hands on Swift's head, turning him round. Slater said, " We had better have them in, or it will be all over the building." Slater then gave the word, and the patients went in. Witness, however, did not go in, but went and sat down in the recess. The witness gave his evidence with great coolness and in telligence throughout, and betrayed no symptoms of in sanity. It appears that he had been a soldier aid had served at Sydney. Wm. Varney, another lunatic, examined by Mr. Sleigh said he was at present residing at Grove Hall Asylum, and was formerly at Colney Hatch, and knew the deceased man Swift. He had supper with him on the day after his struggle with Gann, and saw him frequently on that and the subse quent day. He appeared to be in his usual state of health. Ho ate all the dinner and supper that was given him. After dinner on Friday some of the patients played draughts and cards. Swift was there and talked " erroneous." Slater spoke roughly to him and told him to go down into the gallery. He was not making much noise. He did not go down the gallery ; he had no time. Slater caught hold ofihim, and drew him down to the padded room. When Slater dragged him into the padded room Vivian followed him, and he heard Swift call ou " Oh 1" and " Oh Lord 1" many times There was then a great scuffle, and it continued six or ten minutes. Ho saw Swift the next morning at breakfast. He complained to Slater that he had kicked him violently on the day before, and that it was too bad. He appeared to be very much hurt, but he ate his dinner as usual. The next day he heard that he was dead. By Mr. Metcalfe—The cries of Swift were very loud, but sometimes were stifled as though he was being choked. He complained to Slater on Saturday morning about kicking him, and said he was very sore. He appeared to be pretty well in other respects. He (witness) was at Hanwell ten years before he went to Colney Hatch, where he was two years. The medical gentlemen having given their evidence, which was to the effect that the injuries must have been inflicted only a few hours before death, The counsel for the defence addressed the court, and the jury returned a verdict of 46 Not Guilty," SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GREAT PLUNDER OF JEWELRY.—Yesterday morning an extensive robbery of jewelry of the most costly description was found to have been committed at Hawley and Co.'s, 123, Regent-street, a large portion of the most valuable part of the stock being carried off. An inquiry soon led to the discovery that the plunder had been effected by William Giles, a youth of 18, who was employed as Mes senger to the establishment, and in whom great confidence was reposed. It seems that Giles left very early in the morning with two carpet-bags filled with diamond rings, gold chains and bracelets, and a large quantity of miscella neous jewelry, and being met by some acquaintances with a man carrying the bags,, on which was the name of Os borne, he told them he was taking his master's luggage to the railway station. Inspector Rogers of the C division of police, and some of the most expert officers in the detective torte, were at once sent to track the delinquent, and a full description of his person was sent to all the metropolitan and provincial police-stations, and £5OO reward offered for his capture, but up to last evening he had eluded all pur ' suit. The precise value of the property stolen has not yet been ascertained ; it is, however, estimated at between £6,000 and £6,000, STATE OF NAPLES: A letter from Naples, dated Sept. 12, says : P( 'ople are here so full of exultation that they do no t dream of a check or reverse. Garibaldi is here they have paraded, and shouted, and illuminated foi • three or four days, and now all is over and things ha ve settled down comfortably. Garibaldi talks of leeving Naples in a few days, but in acting so he tal:cs merely a military view of the question. There is no Government here, and it is Garibaldi who has upset it. It is the prestige of his name and of his troops, inspiring some with terror and creating a species of adoration for the liberator of eight mil lions of people, which has rallied the nation around him, and made his march to the capitala triumphal progress. But when Garibaldi leaves his prestige goes with him, and we remain without a Govern.. went. I find, therefore, among commercial men considerable anxiety with respect to the future, for it cannot be supposed that an old dynasty can be torn out of the ground without leaving many roots, or filaments of roots, behind, which will now and gun crop up. Then, even among the Liberals, there are causes of difference which may produce frres* disorder; thus, while the more so h— clew° i • ediate anneyfit; ,, n, one Mazzinians wish to have it Acferred until the whole of Italy is liberated, when they think they can better carry out their views. For social and political reasons, Ido not believe that annexation is a fact which can endure. Still, at the present moment I think it is the only aolution which can save the country ;—in other words, a Government is necessary. There is no Go vernment at present, and the only one that offers itself is that which would be the result of annexa tion. But, observe, I suggest the Protectorate of Victor Emmanuel as a temporary measure only until a better arrangement can be adopted. Most people who understand the position regret the determination of Garibaldi to leave within a few days, for, politically speaking, he would have done well to remain here and consolidate the institu tions of Southern Italy before advancing. It is however, I fear, the misfortune of the Two Siciliet and the necessity of his position, that he may r remain. Great efforts are being made to organise the ministration of the country, and some admpt measures have been passed, which I now report " All political prisoners are to be set at liberty di rectly." " All Custom-house barriers between Sicily and the Neapolitan continent are abolished." " Twelve asylums for infants are established in the capital. The institutions are municipal, and are to be maintained at the expense of the State." " Secret Ministerial funds are :abolished." Trial by jury in penal causes is to be adopted." "TI order of the Jesuits, and all their dependencies, abolished in the continent of the Two Sicilia their property, moveable and immovable, is Glared national. All contracts weighing on p. perty for the benefit of the order are annulle " Considering that religious fanaticism and aril cratic pride induced the late Government to nu distinctions even between tha dead, the buriat. the dead within the walls of a city is absolute forbidden." " The withdrawal of grain and c; from Ancona is prohibited." Persons are per bited from wearing the red coat or any other form which does not belong to them." These, admirable :measures, but they will make a hos, enemies, and render a strong and vigilant Govt ment absolutely necessary. Naples is full of reports of military moveme Lamoriciere is said to have crossed the frontier entered the Abruzzi, though in the Ministr3 War this report was contradicted yesterde Troops are continually coming in and marching the frontier. The Piedmontese Admiral, wits another steam frigate and the ex-Neapolitc steamship Borbone, left last night for Genoa,' some say to bring more troops, and others add accompany Victor Emmanuel. The city is in immense confusion—crowds picturesque, almost mad. Foreigners seem to of number the Neapolitans, and the red jacket eve other coloured cloth. Such a Babel is every pubs. place that I imagine myself to be living some thou sand years back—Englishmen, just arrived, hob• nobbing with Italians, whose only common lingo is that of the fingers. Many of our countrymen came on Tuesday, and I watched some of them carrying on a most animated, though purely gesticulatory, conversation with Frenchmen yesterday morning. From Gaeta we hear that Francis 11. has completed his Ministry, and the names of some of the persons composing it are Cotruffiano, Ulloa, Casella, and Canofari. I understand that a document has been found since the King left containing a Royal order to the Intendente to liberate all the galley-slaves. Fortunately the order was not transmitted, or to our other misfortunes we should have had to add that of banditism. I hear the sound of cracked trumpets, and, look ing out, see the first ranks of a Garibaldi division corning down the Santa Lucia. lam struck by the youthful appearance of some, certainly not more than 12, or at the furthest 14 years old—fair, pretty looking boys, who might have had a satchel instead of a knapsack on their backs. There were, however, some glorious-looking fellows, and all, whether men or boys, seemed to be animated by a spirit little known to the Neapolitan troops. The latter were a sect to defend a vile political creed, and inflict chastisement on those who opposed it; but the former are banded together to assert the sacred rights of liberty. I saw it in their march; there was an elasticity about it which denoted what was passing within. I cannot say much for their uni forms ; they were very dirty, out of order, and irregular, and I have no doubt but that so eminent a general officer as Ferdinand 11. would have been much scandalised; but they were evidently work ing men, had an object in view, and were not going to fight for money. I have seen hundreds of them about the town to-day ; they are billeted about in the hotels and lodging-houses, while the Pied montese troops are in Castel Ovo. I told you that the Sardinian squadron left during the night, not for Genoa, but in the direction of Sicily—it is very probable for some secret expedition. Reports have reached us of an unpleasant feel ing at Palermo, and the following extract from the letter of a merchant in that city will explain matters : " There a p pears to be a good deal of doubt and dissatisfaction here as to the proceedings of the Government or some of the Ministers, Crispi having resigned in consequence of the declared dislike to him on the part of the people , but the why or wherefore I cannot tell. I still see many obstacles in Naples and Sicily drifting quietly into the arms of Piedmont, but it is of no use to speculate on events that will be brought to light from day to day." Some of the journals last night published a re port to the effect that Liborio Romano had resigned office, but it is not true. By most people he is looked upon as a necessity to the country, and Garibaldi has expressed a wish that he should re main in power. He remains in power because he is necessary, and sacrifices himself to the interests of his country. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT STOURPORT.—Yester day morning, about half-past 6 o'clock, as the Stourport Volunteers were on the point of starting off to the Glou;, tester review, a frightful accident occurred, and one whit ! induced several of them to abandon the journey.
