By F. B. COURTENAY, And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture." —Medical Circular, Dec.

STAMPED, 5r The Government has made haste to publish such part of the despatches from the Peihct as they think fit to be generally known. So far as the military and naval achievements are concerned, they are most satisfactory. The most perfect harmony reigns throughout the expedition. Sir Hope Grant and General De Montauban are like brothers in command ; Sir Hope is eager to report "how cordially and sincerely our French allies have co operated with us, and what admiration he feels for their gallant conduct in the field." He is also for ward to testify " what a valuable and efficient col league he has found in Admiral Hope." Every thing is under the happiest auspices, and the official seal t.o is v de edt nat their set of rfst to our superiority peeri or events.ty o correspondent'sroerurtheik Sikh Tartars, r m ot ra o sr r es e n: ae horsem en dhosry interest ing e p Armstrong guns have proved their superiority over everything tubular in that part of the world. Sang ko-lin-sin has awakened to the fact that he his to deal with an enemy against whom bows and arrows and gingalls are of no avail. One lesson, the bat tering down of one fort has been sufficient. China lies open before us. The tactics of Montauban would have placed the Tartar army between the European bayonets and the muddy sea; the more merciful strategy of Sir Hope Grant left the country open to their flight; but for the Tartar Prince and his army the milder lesson has been enough. They are dispersed in panic. Those great fortifications on the South side fell without a blow, the impediments in the river have been removed in a single night, the great fortifications at Tien-tsin have been evacuated while the European troops were yet at a distanae, Sang-ko-lin-sin, that redoubtett Yen,has ngaliepearightevrAy wittiotwairutttng the - rip of a single Arinstrong shell, and, avoiding Tien tsin, has gained Pekin with a hundred followers. There is no further defence, and there is;no further hope, for the Chinese Government in military force. The people, as usual, directly the Man darins are chased away, throng about us in mul titudes, driving their oxen and sheep into our camp, showing full confidence, and eager to trade. The roads are so good that our cavalry galloped on to Tien-twin as quickly as the gunboats could steam up the river. Thence to Tungchow is 90 miles, but with navigable rivers and with broad high. ways. "In Chih-li," says De Guignes, "the roads are broad and shady and very dusty," and it is but a promenade to Tungchow, whence that broad,t 12 miles long avenue, with its marble bridge, so cele brated by Macartney, conducts direct to Pekin. Will the Tartars muster for a last fight under the walls ? It is not very likely. Sang-ko-lin-sin, if he would not fight the South Forts or the Tien-tsin intrenchments, must have his love of fighting quite knocked out of him. General Grant and Admiral Hope have a force that can go anywhere and do anything, and all China lies flat before them, with unimpeded rivers and broad highways, with a wil ling people and an utterly disorganised enemy. China, then, is humbled ? Not so. Everything is subdued, " prater atrocem animuln Catonis." The old Mandarin spirit at Pekin is as obstinate as ever. What care the Mandarins at the capital for a few hundred people killed down the sea-coast ? They are in the habit of hearing daily of first-class cities being: utterly depopulated by the Tai-pings, and it never moves their minds. The soldiers may have lost heart, but they have other resources. They have read our House of Commons debates, and they know that this army will never come up to them. They are sure that they have only to do what they did two years ago, and that army will melt away, and then they will have got rid of all their trouble for another two years. They have only got to " sign anything," as the Viceroy offered to do the other day when threatened with a recommencement of the bombardment, and they will at once be freed of all these importunate barbarians. They are a little astonished, no doubt, to find that we really are, as they say in their intercepted despatches, such astounding fools as to say beforehand what we are going to do ; but they are not about them selves to do violence to all Asiatic traditions by following our example. After we had broken into their intrenched camp, and on the very afternoon of the morning on which we had stormed the Peiho Fcrt, the truthful Mandarins had placarded Tien.tsin with the news that the Barbarians had been utterly beaten, and were then suing for peace. That somewhat forced interpretation of recent -vents was undoubtedly favoured in some degree by the alacrity with which Mr. Harry Parkes hurries uff, whenever he sees a bit of white handkerchief upon the end of a bamboo, to know what it means, and whether there is anyl2ody inside who really wishes to treat. Not quite without encouragement from these rather impolitic manifestations of an im patience to be again cajoled, the Mandarins drop again into their own free and easy style. They are glad to find that the war is at an end; they beg Lord Elgin not to bring many war ships up to Tien-tsin, lest he should alarm the people. They assure him that the Emperor has commissioned a public officer to meet him on his arrival at Pekin, and to discuss matters with him,—all the old moves of which the Chinese diplomatic game consists are being played off calmly and sedately, just as if there was not a British or a French soldier on the soil of China. No doubt, Pekin has long since been placarded with most glorious victories, and if Lord Elgin should visit that capital with his escort of horse, he will pass in, as Lord Macartney, who also had an escort of English soldiers, passed in, to the tune of " Subjugation consummated," or, " See the slave of China comes." Confident as these Man darins are in the weakness of Europeans in matters of diplomacy, they have not even now surrendered one point, or even condescended to make reference to the demands made in our ultimatum. Their real, unbroken obstinacy appears at this moment, as usual, admirable in their acts. The Viceroy, when he signed a capitulation, intimated plainly that he was signing his own degradation, and Sang-ko-lin-sin no sooner arrives in Pekin than. he has his peacock's feather taken from him, is dismissed from every post of honour- The Mandarins pursue their own policy, and ruin ever T .or one who yields a step, even to force, and ye t Lord Elgin expects they will do themselves wha t aeeoru punish in others.

To this end there was but one proper course, and that course was to refuse to accept again promises which had already proved so worthless ; sternly to refuse, inst ead of eager to solicit all ove r t ures for peace until the avenging army had reached the walls of Pekin, and there to exact the most public apologies for the breach of faith publicly committed, and public assurances that the Treaty of Tien-tsin should be faithfully fulfilled. This, with the smart of the payment of the expenses of the war—which in no other way will ever be obtained—would be at once humane, honourable, and effective. Such a signal humilia tion would be felt to the uttermost ends of the great empire. It could net be explained away or falsified, and all China would come to know tha t the Emperor himself had no choice in is matter, and that the only safe policy was to open fleet Be ep faith with foreig ners.

The truth is, there is a kind of dilemma in the case, and we seem compelled either to sit down under a failure which we believe to have been avoidable, or to right ourselves by measures of doubtful propriety. There are obvious reasons against reopening the case un der fresh authorities, and reasons just as obvious against committing it to the same authorities as before. It was mismanaged at the first, and the result of that mismanagement was to destroy the best chances of success. After the coroner's inquest the scent was lost. The tracks of crime, whatever they may have been, had been then effaced, and all future inquirers found themselves at fault. It is no imputation on the local authorities to say that their senses have been, as it were, blunted by false alarms and abortive exertions. They have certainly not been apathetic, but they have as certainly not been successful, whereas it seems the instinctive conviction of almost everybody on the spot that success is attainable. The inquiries are said to have been neither sufficiently comprehensive nor effec tively organised. We do not place much faith in popular representations on a subject like this. Crimes of this character have a tendency to set morbid minds at work, till at length persons are found even to make false confessions. Still, with such reports as are current abofit available evidenee and suppressed information, it would be better, in the interests even of publi c t ranqu ility, th a t suc h an in quiry should at length be instituted as would either disclose the truth or show that it could not be dis closed. Where a case is hopeless_we awn onlyenbmittti the resulti ; hitt where it. is believed, whether erroneously or otherwise, that failure has occurred from mismanagement alone, the safer course lies in prompt and definite action. Of one thing, how ever, we are certain, and that is, that if the inquiry into this mystery can be reopened at all it should be done by open, constitutional warrant, in solemn form, and with high and avowed authority. DREADFUL EXPLOSION IN THE NORTH SEA. Intelligence was received at Great Yarmouth, about two o'clock on Sunday morning, of a fearful explosion on board the large paddle steamer Tonning, which formerly belonged to the North of Europe Steampacket Company, but which has latterly been trading between London and Tonning on private account. The Tonning left Tonning on Friday morning at an early hour, and was on Satur day, about 50 miles east of Yarmouth, at one o'clock in the afternoon, in the midst of the fleet of fishing boats out on the herring voyage. While among the fleet the steamer hove to for the purpose of pro curing a few fish for the crew. She had not been hove to above two or three minutes when a tremendous explosion of one or both her boilers took place, blowing up her decks, part of her crew, and a great quantity of fire, smoke, and steam. The report was distinctly heard throughout the whole fleet of several hundred fishing vessels, and by most of them the explosion was seen, and is described as having been of a most painful and striking character. The frightful nature of the accident was not at first understood, but there being no doubt as to its effect, the fishing boats sent a number of their small boats with men to render any assistance in their power. Oa reaching the steamer they found her to be very seriously damaged, and there were doubts for some little time as to whether she would not speedily go down. The fishermen boarded her, when they discovered a scene of the most distressing character, they saw, beside the havoc committed by the explosion upon the ship and among the cattle, the bodies of a number of men, some dead, and some in a state of great agony from scalds, burns, and contusions. The fishermen at once offered every assistance they could to the sur vivors. The crew of the steamer consisted of 27 men and a boy ; and it was ascertained from the captain (who had escaped injury), after examining the vessel, that several of the seamen were blown high into the air and seven were found to be miss ing, and three, who died soon afterwards, were lying among the broken timber and iron in a dying state. Seven others were very severely injured, and are at the Yarmouth Hospital, whither they were taken on Sunday morning at three o'clock, having been brought to the beach by the fishing boats. The engineer—who lost a sou in the• explosion—was among those taken to the hospital, and the two men most severely injured are the chief mate and a Dutchman, who was proceeding to London with the cattle. The bodies of the three men, who died soon atter, or who were dead when taken out of the ship, were conveyed to the workhouse at Yarmouth, where an inquest will be held upon them by Mr. C. H. Chamberlin, the coroner of the borough. The steamer was towed into Yarmouth Roads about 11 o clock on Sunday, and has been taken on to Lowestoft. It appears from what can be ascer tained at present, that at the time of the explosion the boilers were only working at a pressure of 151 b. to the square inch ; they worked with three valves, two showing a pressure of 121 b., and one 15 Lb., and they were all blowing free. The occur rence seems to have been purely accidental, and it is not expected that uny fact to the contrary will be elicited at the inquest. YARMOUTH, MONDAY NIGHT. The chief mate and Yunker Aintz, the foreigner in charge of the cattle, are in great danger ; 6e former is delirious. The steamer is lying at Lowes toft. This afternoon the Yarmouth coroner com menced an inquiry into the cause of the disaster. THE SLAVE TRADE. A statement made by one of the crew of the slaver City of Norfolk, stranded on the Cuban coast, respecting the voyage of that vessel, is interesting. He says : " The City of Norfolk saileap from the port of New York on the sth day of June last, for the purpose, as we were informed, of entering the service of the Government of Venezuela as a trans port. The steamer arrived at St. Thomas's, the passage occupying 10 days, where we remained six days, and discharged a part of the cargo, consisting of tobacco and packages of merchandise apparently, the contents of which were unknown to us. While lying at this port we received on board the steamer 200 tons of coal and 18 large casks, the contents of which were not known by us at the time. We sailed thence for Barcelona, the passage occupying three days, where we took in a quantity of fresh provisions (for the cabin) and an enormous quantity of fresh water for ship's use. Suspicions of wrong (vere aroused, but again allayed, on account of the nature of our voyage, as a transport, necessarily requiring a larger quantity than as a trader. On the fifth day out of St. Thomas the seamen were ordered below to open the casks abovementioned , and found them to contain rice, beans, Sc., besides a number of kegs of spoons, small tin cups, razors, and combs. This circumstance was made the theme of conversation forward, and, after mature delibera tion,. we went to the captain in a body, roe:se to :t g i o be informed of his intentions, and the d estination n Of the ship, upon which he frankly Africa for th e a dmitted that he was bound for the coast o f f s l av es. ex _ purpose of procuring a cargo pressed to him our decided unwillingness We go, to i n f or med us of that and that he should have lied that he wished to fact while in port. hear no more from us to go to our work, and threatening te:ll:sdetepLiNn-egus into compliance in case of refusal. iVe made the coast in 36 days, August 12, and em barked 770 slaves, on Sunday, sailed on day for a place called San and 8 the tenth day out discovered the Marino, ° be out of order, one of the body pi ns propeller t° l. d out.

On the feared to reverse morning of Oct. 1 . w e disembarked and landedthe negroes on a small qua y,. about 18 miles from San Marino, where the tam was persuaded by a fisherman to cap do so, on account of two or three steamers of war which were on the look out for him. After landing all the ne groes the captain, engineers, firemen, and some of the sailors took the steamer and stood out to sea for the purpose of sinking and removing all vestiges of her. They removed the pipe of the fresh water condenser and the bottom of the delivery valve, secured the wheel in a certain position, and aban doned her, st an di ng out to sea under a full head of steam. At daylight the next morning we found the steamer hnd rounded to and run ashore on the same quay that we had landed on the previous day. The captain, being alarmed, proposed to convey the negroes to the main land in lighters, and, the plan appearing the most feasible, his proposal was at Once carried into effect. We had succeeded in re moving 108 negroes when a Spanish cruiser hove in sight, and the captain and officers fled to parts unknown, leaving us to look out for ourselves. The cruiser came to anchor, manned her boats and pulled to pulled in for the quay.

ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITU TION.—The AID of the public is earnestly solicited to enable the Institution to meet the present pressing de mands on its new Lifeboat Establishments. Bankers—Messrs. Willis and Co., Coutts and Co., Herries and Co. ness with Mr. Anderson, superintendent of the Royal gun factory. It was announced in military circles at Chat ham yesterday that Lieut.-Col. E. Stanton, C. 8., R.E., the Assistant Adjutant-General will proceed to Warsaw on a Government mission, relieving Col. J. L. A. Simmons, C. 8., R.E., who has re ceived an appointment at Aldershott Camp. Lieut.- Col. Iv. 0. Lennox, V.C., will succeed Col. Stanton as Assistant Adjutant-General of the Royal Engineers. Yesterday, on the receipt of a Government tele gram at Chatham (garrison) announcing the ter mination of hostilities with China, a salute was fired from the Cornwallis battery, and the Royal standard hoisted at Fort Amherst. Yesterday a party of Sappers, consisting of a number of the most skilful mechanics, left the head quarters of the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, for Woolwich, to join the sth Company of Royal Engineers employed on the engineering works in progress at that garrison. and it was taken upstairs. It appears to me (con tinued the witness) that the old lady wishes to make it out that the nurse was shy of coming into the room where the child was. Mrs. Silcox—l did not say that she .was. Superintendent Foley—As far as I recollect, the nurse kissed the child every time she came into the room while I had charge of it. I left Heritage and Urch in charge of the house when I left on Satur day night; they are the two men who were locked in on that night. Mr. Foley went on to describe his exhaustion on the evening in question, and something bordering on the ludicrous ensued, Mr. SaunderS imagining that Mr. Foley had alluded to the fact of his being eating and drinking while the inquiry was proceeding. Mr. Foley begged to state that he made no reference to the manner in which the worthy magistrate was employing him self, and after some further irrelevant inquiries, Mr. Saunders asked whether Mr. Wolfe wished to make any observations on the evidence of Mrs. Silcox, either in confirmation or contradiction. Mr. Superintendent Wolfe declined to say any thing. Mr. Groser, a local reporter, made a statement to the effect that Mr. Summers, late Superintendent of Police at Frome, had told him that on the Sun. day after the murder he saw in the passage of Road hill-house one or two spots or smears of blood by the front door. He said he had not mentioned it to any one, and gave a reason why he had not done so. He had since removed from Frome ; had been a police-inspector at Beaconfield, Bucks, but had now removed from there. Mr. Saunders thought this highly important. Mr. Groser continued that on the Monday - after the murder he was at Road-hill house while the inquest was proceeding, and saw a young lady com ing down stairs. On seeing him she went back. This trivial fact might be of consequence, as about this time Miss Constance Kent was sending the housemaid for some water ; it might have been that she was going for the water herself, and on seeing him she returned. Saw the nurse on the Saturday the murder was discovered, and she appeared more agitated than any of the other servants. Mr. Superintendent Wolfe said he had seen Mr. Groser scores of times since the murder was dis covered, but he had never mentioned anything to him about the smears of blood. Mr. Groser, in reply to Mr. Saunders, said he had been on the premises several times since Sum mers made the statement to him, but he had never looked for these marks of blood. Summers did not make the statement to him till a fortnight after the murder was discovered. Witness suggested that it should be publicly stated who emptied the clothes basket en its coming from the washerwoman on the night previous to the murder, and whether there was a clean night-dress belonging to Miss Con stance Kent then in it. Mr. Superintendent Wolfe said the matter had been fully inquired into before, and it was found that the basket was emptied by the two elder Misses Kent, by the first marriage. Mr. Superintendent Foley stated that he had minutely inspected the premises on the morning after the murder, but could find no trace of blood ; had he done so, he should have formed the conclu sion that the child's throat was cut in the house. Mr. Superintendent Wolfe regretted that Mr. Summers, as an officer of the force, did not know his duty better than not to communicate the state ment he had made to the proper quarter instead of to Mr. Groser, and he (Mr. Wolfe) had Mr. Groser's authority for saying that he placed no reliance whatever on his statement. Mr. Groser corroborated Mr. Wolfe's statement. A desultory comversation ensued between Mr. Saunders and some of the police officials, and the inquiry was again adjourned. (From the Times.) The inquiries into the Road murder have gradu ally assumed so singular a complexion that they are now almost as unexampled in character as the crime itself. The first stage in the proceedings was constituted, of course, by the coroner's inquest, but that investigation failed to establish the pro bable guilt of any person, and Elizabeth Gough, the nursemaid, on whom suspicion had naturally fallen, was left at large. In the next instance the case was committed to the detective police, and an experienced metropolitan officer decided, as the result of his inquiries, to accuse Miss Constance Kent of the crime. But that proceeding also tell unsustained to the ground, and the young lady was discharged. An investigation was then set on foot of a private and peculiar nature, in which a solicitor of Bath conducted a laborious inquiry on the authority, as afterwards appeared, of the Attorney-General, and the issue of which was that Elizabeth Gough was definitely brought before the magistrates of the county on the fearful charge. Again, however, was the charge aban doned, and the nursemaid was released from custody. Here justice appeared at fault, and it seemed, in deed, as if no further means of detection remained to be tried. Still the affair was not permitted to rest, and at the Quarter Sessions which followed the last investigation Mr. Saunders, one of the magistrates, proposed that a special committee should be appointed to examine into the report upon all the circumstances connected with the crime, and with the proceedings of the police in the mat- ' ter. This proposal was not seconded, but it called forth some remarks from Mr. Sotheron Estceurt in defence of the local authorities, who, he said, had failed in their endeavours to discover the offender, not from want of energy, but for lack of a clue. Mr. Saunders had suggested that the case should be brought under the cognisance of a new set of magistrates—that fresh eyes, in short, should be brought to bear upon the mystery, and that the in quiry should be resumed with greater care and more comprehensive research. Mr. Estcourt's view of the matter was that the magistrates had done as much as any magistrates could do; that they had simply failed for lack of evidence, and that any others in similar straits would fail also. With these observations the subject dropped for the time, but since then Mr. Saunders, who was always of opi nion that more evidence was obtainable, has opened an inquiry, apparently on his own private accoant, has invited the public to assist, and has received new depositions touching the occurrence. As far as we can understand this proceeding from the published reports, Mr. Saunders appears, after the failure of his motion at the Marlborough Quarter Sessions, to have conferred with his brother magistrates on the Bradford bench, to have ob tained their concurrence in the undertaking he proposed, and then to have appeared in the Tem perance-hall at Road in a private, rather than a magisterial capacity, and to have held, as it were, a public conference on the inscrutable mystery. What kind of evidence he succeeded in procuring has already been seen, but at this moment it is further reported that an atteiopt will be presently made to commence the whole inquiry afresh from the very beginning, and to hold, in short, a second coroner's inquest on tie body of the murdered child. These proceedings, we conceive, are without parallel, though we are far from asserting that they are without warrant. They have arisen in a feeling of dissatisfaction and uneasiness shared by the whole country. The excitement on the subject has rather increased than abated, and it extends, as the Chief Constable stated, even to foreign nations. It represents, however, something beyond a mere sen sation. Combined with the feelings of horror and curiosity, there prevails a general conviction not only that the murder ought to be discovered, but that it might probably have been discovered at first had measures been better concerted, and could per haps be discovered now by more judicious procedure. The consequence is that people are restless and un quiet, chafing at the failure of justice, and indis posed to put up with the baulk. They believe that a narrow circle of a dozen persons comprises the criminal, and they are indignant at thinking that the formalities of law or the mismanagement of officials should enable this criminal to evade retri bution. We have seen repeated expressions of this sentiment. It appeared in the memorial addressed_; to the Home S ecre ta r y by-the inhabitants of Bath; it is visible in th ese proceedings of Mr. Sa unders h ; inquest; and may be traced in the scheme of a fresh nrheiseti; and it pervades the copious correspondence that i t i we receive on the subject. People think both scandalous to leave such a undet e cted,crime and easy, or at least possible, to detect cannot endure to leave the matter where it is, and it. They are ready to suggest or welcome e any proceeding s, retrieve the failures of more regular Courts. however informal, which may r kis quarrel, but we must v however extreme that i t to With feelings so naetunrtaulrewteo r c e a mar nnot possibly never desirable in any case,. violate principles, or offend against We should rejoice to hear the doctrinesconstitutional ef justice. for more effectual inquiry that the authorities. had ye s e a ei n dn c itn t o i g o st n h e wi d si la a tb n re y e efio s tu c y h n, scheme ddth t e a any new much avail, we doubt if vestigation and r re g w u e l a a r re p p r ersua should be as solemn and as authoritative pos sible.

Dysentery, in a severe form, has been the cause of Sir Charles's illness. Rear-Admiral Stopford returned from leave on Saturday, and rehoisted his flag on board the screw steamship Royal Albert, 121, Capt. H. Lacon, which saluted the flag of Port Admiral Sir Hous ton Stewart, K.C.8., with 15 guns ; the compliment was returned by the Impregnable, 104, in Ha moaze, with 11 guns. The screw steam sloop Desperate, 8, will be out of the hands of the artisans of the Devonport dockyard on Wednesday; she is to be stored for a foreign station. The repent trials of the engines and machinery of the gunboats Ripple and Tilbury, at Plymouth, gave great satisfaction. The Swiftsure, Capt.

At Portsmouth yesterday, at 1 p.m., a national salute of 21 guns was fired from her Majesty's ships Victory and Mersey, and also from the garrison saluting battery on the King's Bastion, in honour of the capture of the forts on the Peiho and the occu pation of Tien-tsin by the allied forces of England and France. The firing of the guns, with the Royal standard hoisted on the garrison flag-staff, created considerable excitement throughout the town, a report having spread that the Royal Squadron was in sight from North America.

The extraordinary and extrajudicial inquiry com menced on Saturday by Mr. T. B. Saunders, equity and conveyancing barrister of London, and magis• trate for the county of Wilts, was adjourned till this morning at 11 o'clock. At that hour Mr. Saunders appeared at the Temperance-hall, Road, and there were also present Superintendents Foley and Wolfe and some other members of the Wilts constabulary ; a few reporters, and three or four members of the public. Mr. Saunders then stated that he had been waiting at Bath expecting despatches which had not arrived. He had, therefore, at once proceeded to Road, and was there punctually at the hour ap pointed by Greenwich time. As some gentlemen who were expected to take part in the inquiry had not yet arrived he should adjourn till 12 o'clock. At 12 o'clock Mr. Saunders again appeared, but stated that the gentlemen he was expecting had not yet arrived, and that one person who was prepared to give evidence was detained by a domestic affliction. He should therefore wait a further time .before taking the chair and com mencing proceedings. By half-past 12 the Temperance-hall only con tained a scanty company, which did not half fill the small apartment of which the building consists. The majority of the company present consisted of women and children, and curiosity was evidently the motive which had caused all, or nearly all, to be present. The remarks indulged in before the proceedings commenced plainly indicated that but little reliance was placed on this investigation as tending to elucidate the mystery which still hangs over the murder of Francis Saville Kent. At a quarter to 1 o'clock Mr. Saunders came again into the hall and took up his position at the upper end. He commenced by expressing hi s regre t that some brother magistrates and the chief con stable of Wilts, whom he had expected were not present, and went on to state that the chief of the Bath police' (Mr. Hughes) was now engaged on special service in making inquiries into this most mysterious case which happened on the 29th or 30th of June last at Road-hill House. He (Mr. Saunders) repeated what he had said on Saturday, that he was acting with the concurrence of several magistrates, some of whom belonged to the coun ties of both Wilts and Somerset. Mr. Hughes was acting with the sanction of the proper authorities at Bath. At present there were locked up in his (Mr. Saunders's) breast many circumstances of a private nature which he could not, consistently with the interests of public justice, divulge. All, however, should be divulged at the proper time ; but at this moment, if anybody asked him a ques tion, whatever might be thought by any person of this plan, he would say that he was of opinion that it was one which would tend to elucidate this most mysterious affair, and he was there ready to receive any information on the subject openly, plainly, and in the face of day. After ordering the removal of some children who were making a noise at the bottom of the hall Mr. Saunders said he was now prepared, from private information received during three nights and days, to go on with this case in any way that the interests of public justice might demand. He had not had time to look through the evidence and he took no notes on Saturday, but he had the satisfaction of knowing that what had then taken place had gone forth through the press. He read a letter which he had received from Mr. G. W. Sheppard, of Frome, a magistrate for Somersetshire, who was present on Saturday, in which that gentleman said that he sincerely hoped that by the examination now entered upon some cue might be found to this mys terious affair, but at the same time expressing a fear that he (Mr. Saunders) had no ground to build upon. Having given a short resume of the proceedings on Saturday Mr. Saunders went on to say that he began the investigation by endeavour ing to get at certain facts from the Sunday pre vious up to the day of the murder. Now he believed that a statement was made on Saturday that Mr. Kent was at church on the previous Sunday with the little boy who was unfortunately afterwards found murdered in the latrine. The persons name by whom that statement was made was Webley, and he now inquired whether she was present. Mrs. Webley was called, but ao answer was made. Mr. Saunders went on to say that he should re quire the presence of Mrs. Webley, and also of Mrs. Lelen and Mrs. Orchard, who, he understood, could afford certain information. He had endeavoured to find out where Mr. Kent was on the Monday and Tuesday and other days of the week preceding the murder, but up to the present moment he had failed in doing so. It was suggested that Mr. Kent was engaged on a visit of factory inspection, at or about that time, avid the coachman was sent for, but not by him, because he had not intended to have any single person there who lived or had lived at any time upon the premises at Road-hill House. It was here announced that Mrs. Webley was in attendance, and in compliance with an invitation from Mr. Saunders, Mrs. Webley came forward and stated that she saw deceased with Mr. Kent at church on the Sun day morning previous to the murder. Mr. Saunders then asked —ls there anybody here who can give me any account of Samuel Saville Kent's proceedings on the Monday after Midsum mer-day ? (No answer.) Is there anybody in this room who saw Mr. Kent on Monday, the 25th of June ? (No answer.) Is there anybody in this room who knows any other person who saw Mr. Kent on Monday, the 25th of June ? If so, let them speak out without fear, favour, or affection. (No. answer.) Perhaps you will make inquiry about it among your friends. Is there anybody here who saw him on Tuesday ? (No answer.) Let them make a like inquiry among their friends. Is there anybody here who knows anything about Mr. Kent's proceedings on the 27th of June, or is there anybody here who knows any body that does ? (No answer.) Now, then, is there anybody here who saw Mr. Kent at home on the 28th ? Let the people say. (No answer.) Mr. Saun ders proceeded to recapitulate the statement made by Holcombe, the gardener, on Saturday, stating that he did not intend to request his attendance again for private reasons, as he believed it would not be conducive to the ends of justice. After some further observations, Mrs. Silcox was called, and stated that on the morning of the 30th of June Urch, a policeman, came to her house and told her that she was wanted at Mr. Kent's house; this was between four and five on Saturday afternoon, the 30th of June last. She went to Road-hill-house, and was told by Mr. Parsons to assist Mrs. Holcombe in laying out the child. The nurse was also to assist, but she did not ; she never came near the place. Mr. Saunders—That I consider an important fact. Witness—l believe all the other servants came into the room where the child was, but I don't recollect seeing the nurse there. Mr. Saunders—Now I must ask you who do you mean by the person whom you call the nurse ? Witness—Why, the person who nursed the child. I think I should know her again if I saw her. On the Monday night I was sent for again, to put all things in place. The nurse was with me then. She did not say anything particular to me. She and the housemaid took the remains of the V.+ child upstairs. v The body was in a shell. I have told all that I have now stated to Mr. Slack. Mr. Foley also came to me with Mr. Wolfe, and I be lieve I told them what I have now stated. I have never been examined in public before. Mr. Superintendent Foley, being appealed to by Mr. Saunders as to whether the evidence of Mrs. Silcox was true or false, stated that the body of the child was in his custody, and that he saw the nurse and the other female inmates of the house come and kiss the body. After the inquest he gave up the key of the room ix. which the body had b ee n lying, 2s Os 2s 85 ali cels ; no out for 0 L 6 6 ) 6 3 9 ) 6 ) 6 1 _ -
