GREAT NORTH AND SOUTH WALES AND WORCESTER RAILWAY. A special general meeting of the scripholders in the Great North and South Wales and Worcester Railway, eonvened by a committee of their own body , appointed at a former meeting, was held on Saturday, at the London Tavern, in -Bishopsgatesstreet;tbr:the-pnerruerruflaestrrbg the dissolu tion of the Company.—Mr. Frederick Lawrence, Chaiiman of the Committee, in the chair.. The Own:ease in opening the: business of the meeting, retniutled the ecripholders that at their former meeting they pvtated resohelaons authorising the immediate dissolution of the Company, anti it was then thought that the directors wereiroaralle to stela a step. Accordingly , the comm i ttee soug an interview with the directors, to see if the affairs of the Company could not.be wound up and settled amica bly; but a third party interposed , his authority, and the - negotiations for, this . purpose proved futile, surd ended in nothing positively being arranged. The directors and shareholders were unammons in thinking that it would be bets er for all parties that the Company should be broken up; but the solicitor of: the Company, Mr. Bushe; ap peared to be decidedly, opposed to the adoption of any such a course, arid in.eletiance of the wishes of both the shareholders and the directors he , had gone to the expense of bringing up to town a large number of witnesses, getting the Bill througlv:the Standing. Orders' Committee, and then hav ing it read a first time in the House of Commons. Ile was now taking the usual steps to have the Bill read a second time and 'eemmitted ; and unless the shareholders invested their committee with stringent powers, to enable them to close the affairs of the Company, every farthing of their money would be squandered away, while, in the end, the Bill' would be lost. The directors passed a. resolution authorising the solicitors to svipply the com mittee of shareholders with a • copy of the subscription and epntract deeds, but he regretted to say that that resolu tion had been dishonourably su ppressed by some one or other, and the solicitors refused • now to give them cdpies of the deeds. Under these circumstatices, and feeling that the measure could never pass upon its merits, the committee had called the scripholders' together to invest them with stringent powers to stop any further "Mee of the remainder y. of the funds of the Company—(ear, hear.) Mr. thereat-et HoPaooD proposed •the first resolution. He stated that it would be in the recollection of the share• holders present that a resolution was passed at their last meet i ng , that a petition, signed by the shareholders, should b e presented to the House of Commons against e Bill. lie believed that if the shareholders allowed the Bill to pass the second reading they would then be called upon to pay up the further call on their shares, and in default of so doing their shares would be forfeited: He therefbre proposed that the petition prepared by the committee should be imme diately signed by the shareholders, for presentation to the House of Commons. Mr. SAMUEL seconded the resolution. Mr. MULLENS wished to say a few words before the Chair man put the resolution. He was allowed to move, as an amendmetl4 that the petition should be read to the Company • before the shareholders were called upon to sign the petition. liSassas said that the petition would lie for signature at the l s ondon Tavern, and every person who signed the petition would,bave an opportunity of reading it. ' Mr. Murwrs said,that the committee were afraid to have the petition publicly read. , It was ultimately, agreed to put the question to the meet ing whether the tpetition should be read, when only five hands were held up in favour of the petition•being read. The CHAIRMAN then put the original resolution, which was carried by a great majority. Mr. Darts stated that the committee had-already incurred great expense, and it .could not be expected that they would continue to do so unless reimbursed by the shareholders. He therefore proposed " That a subscription be at once en tered into and, placed at the, disposal of your committee, to enable them to stop this ruinous scheme in •Parliament, or by such other means that they may deem advisable, and to reimburse them such expenses as are already incurred." Mr. BATES seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.. A SHAREHOLDER suggested that the money should be paid nut of thk funds of the Company. • Mr. BACON (Chairman of the Company) said that the directors were placed in a very, peculiar situation, and he doubted whether the shareholders would bear the directors harmless if they did so. Mr. Davrs. rose to order. Major Rseresunsox considered that Mr. Bacon sfould be fore this have . dismissed the solicitors from -the service of the Company, and that the only means of testing his sin esrity would be to move a resolution to that effect this after noon.--(Lod cheers.), He did not consider it right that ;stoney of the shareholders should be wasted because the directors were s so prudent.—(Loud cheers.) He proposed " That the directors give a cheque for 500/. to the come =Wee of the shareholders, in order to carry out the objects pf the resolutions carried *is day." Mr. MuacEison seconded the resolution. The CHAsassasi said that it was useless to pass a resolution to that effect, unless the directors present would consent to honour the cheque.. . • . Mr. BACON said that he could not promise, as there were only two of.his colleagues present, the payment of so large a BUM. - • • . The CHAMMAN stated that he would meet them half way —they would take the sum of 2.50/. , Major RICHARDSON having acceded to this reduction , the resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. CoIIRTRNAY then rose for the purpose of moving the third resolution. He stated • that the • present Company was entirely the solicitors company. r(" No," from Mr. Bush).- after considerable confusion Mr. Courtenar , went on to say that the solicitors had laughed at them in their sleeves, and had set the shareholders at defiance.—(Cheers.) He then proceeded to inquire into the conduct of the -solicitors, and having made a number of • Charges against them, 'ltch produced considerable confusion in conses quence of the denials of the solicitors on the one hand, and the repetition of the charges •on the other, he moved thatthe solicitors, Messrs. Bushe and Mullens, having by th e ir conduct completely lost the confidence of the shareholders, the directors be requested immediately to dis miss them from the services of the Company. Mr. Mr:Benison' seconded the resolution. Mr Buns said he could not sit quiet and hear charges brought against his personal charegter, and that of his respected partner He publicly denied the truth of the charges which had been brought against him. He had given his advice to the best of his ability in the affairs of the Company. Mr. Bushe was xeeding, amidst much confusion, to explain his conduct relative to the Company, when The CHAIRMAN proposed, as a matter of delicacy, previous to putting the resolution, that Mr. Bushe should have an Opportunity afforded him of resigning. • Mr. Brisit stated that no earthly power should induce him to resign until he had received the opinions of the Solicitor-General and Mr. Turner, of the Court of Chancery. After most tremendous uproar, Mr. Weems was allowed to be heard. He also denied the truth of of the charges which had been brought againsthim self and his partner (Mr. Bushe), which gave rise to a most desultory and stormy discussion as to the question of dismissal. He stated that both he and his partner were in the power of the directors, but they had never made any complaint to them, and were per f ec tly satisfied with their conduct.' The CHAIRMAN stated that, before putting the resolution, he thought it would be necessary, in artier that this resolution should be effectually carried out, that the directors should be held personally liable for all money paid to the solicitors by them from the time of passing this resolution; Ili then put, the resolution, which was carried unanimously, and the solicitors were accordingly dismissed from the service of thl Company. • • Majoldtrensansme wished to know whether it was the intention of the directors to carry- out this resolution ? Mr.' RAISON, one of the directors, 'said he could not under take to answer the question in the' absence of his brother directors. Major Bleu...Epsom was then requested by the shareholders to join the oomniittee, to which he cdtrsented. . A. vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman and the committee, the meeting broke up, which was one of the most stormy that ive- have ever attended, even of the North and South Wales Railway Company. The.petition lie for signature at the Hall of Com merce, en Threadneedle-Street. ' RAILWAY RET UItNS.

Damages were laid at 5,0004 and the , defendant pleaded Not, Guilty. ' - ' • Mr. Dwrisn stated the case, from which it appeared that in` the year 1812 the defendant lived with his father at Clon dalkin, irsthe county 'of Dublin, at., which period he was about 21 years of, age, and zeduced,the - plaintiff herself, who' . was then a young gi r l residing with her father, who lived in the same neighbourhood, and he had by her three children — a son, who was in 1818; a daughter, the girl alleged to be seduced in the present 'action, born in 1824 ; and a third child, also a female, born in 1834. The defendant, he said, reared this family well . and respectably, and"educated his eldest daughter in the best manner up to the year 1842 , when ' he also seduced her from the paths of virtue, and had a child by'her in 1843. The Learned Gentleman, in conclusion, said he Would prove these facts by . the unfortunate girl herself, and read a nUmber of letters which were written by Mr. Arabia to her. • . Mary Anne Carroll, examined by Mr: Itou s asTosig—l am daughter of the plaintiff. My mother lives. in Bride-street, and has lived there for four years. We lived there in 1842, daring the summer, at the time the occurrence, took place, and we liVed before that in French-street, and previously in Cumberlaed place. My father is John L. Arabin. 1 I saw him at my mOther's place. He always came wherter we were. My mother kept no servant iu Bride-street i 1842. I had a brother and one stater. He is older and she is younger ; than I am; I went to school to Miss Lord's, in Stafford street,, and to Mrs. Allen's,'in Stephen's-green. My father paid for my education. Ire paid Mies • Lord, and 21. to Mts. Allen by one of the witaesse.s. I used to do the worst in my mother's Weise. My father wanted nie to be a boarder at Miss Lord's; but my mother did not Wish it, and I was onlysent as a day scholar. My father had a Country house at Carkagh, near Clondelkin. - - I was often there. Whenever I Went to the- country he used to bring me into town in his car. He often brought' me home from Clare-street to my mother's when it was late. It was his own hoase in Clare-street, and his brother, the counsellor, lived in, it. I was frequeatly in that house: -- - I remember making an appointment with my father, the defendant, in the year 1842. I appointed to meet him in Sackville-street, one .little street off Sackville-street, the name of which I forget. He Made that appointment in my mother's house. The defendant did not tell me what he wanted with - me, for he often before .met me and brought me to Harries', on - Wellington-quay, and other places. I met him, according to the appOintment, about five o'clock in the evening. It was summer time. Mr. Aribin was in the house when I arrived. He Was in the 'Parlour, and he brought me np to the drawing-room. We had some canver; sation there. I fagot whaf it was. I don't rememberamtch what he said or did on that occasion. He told me I his own property, and he could' do what he liked with met He did do what he liked with' me. No man ever acted to we as he did on that occasion, ,before or since. I had a child by Mr. Arabin, which is alive: 'My mother has it. Shel is in this town. '. The'clefendant - told Me not to tell anybodlvhat had occurred, •and he sent me home 'in a 'cir. rotten sa my father after that. I was never in that twine again with him, but he was in a house afterwards with me, and treated me in the same way. He was very'sorry for what occurred.. He used to call me -Mary and ?Oily. Ile', frequently ga me o money, and always gave me presents of Toney bothbe fore :and after this transaction until lately. He often wrote, me since/the se luction toot: place, but never before it. . (Th wit ness here identified the several 'Unsigned letters, which w ere read by counsel; arid swore that they were ' in • the defen dant's handwriting.) The child I had by Mr. Arabia was a female. He often saw it and nursed it. I never spoke to him about , providing for the child. ' - Upon my,otith the defendant is father of that aim.' ~..,, t ., Cross-examined by Mr. ITA.TcHstra was •in the house or cottage in Blade-street that I Was delivered of the chiltl, It will be three years old next June.• - I had left sche4l at the time I went to the house off Sackville-street. I amlcer- , taro of it. .- It was - not found out that'l was with child for a long time ; s not for four or' , fivemonths. I then told mylmci then' Upon my oath the defendant never asked me who', was the father of-this child. I did not say that' it was a yqung gentleman in Harcourt-street, and that Lives sworn not to tell. I told my mother Mr: Arabin was the father. She,was very angry with me, and treated me very badly after Itold her. She has the child, and , is very fond of it. The child was . christened in Westlandroar, in my presence, in the chapel, - Jeinima Arabin. • My' mother was present. The christening took place in about' a month or so after it was born. Mr. .Arabin gave me I/. to get the child baptiSed. After I left Glasnevin I went to live with my mother.' I first saw Mr. Walsh, the plaintiff's attorney, since last Christ mas; my mother went to him. ' I bid her•go because I saw his' picture in the Mansion-house.—(Great laughter.) A woman told me that it was his picture, and that he was a good man. My mother wanted to have Mr:Fitzgerald. Mr Walsh told me that my dada, disliked him, and I heard after wards from Mr. Dunne that he had been suspended by him, and not allowed to practice in the court. Mr. Walsh his . . 'given money to my mother within the last month; a little. He gave me money also, but it was , all far my mother. I got my share of it to be sure s —(Laughter.) I did not get a letter from England upon my, oath a few days. after I went to Glastievin, from a person named Thompson ; but Igot a letter every week from my father, with I/. in it. Where are those letters? Witness-L-I don't know what I'did with them. I did not give them to Mr. Walsh.' I never gave him any letters, ,to my., knowledge, but my mother ,did. I was present when she gave him some letters. She gave therrito him in her own cottage. I don't know how many she gave hire, but she gave him a bundle. Mr. :Wal§h was often at the cottage—constantly for the last two - Months; and I was at liis residence in Harcourt-street. I n •evet Went to his hoese with My . mother ; and I seldom went at all; for he calledosi'ue almest every day. . . ;a . Ite- exam ined by Mr. Icieriratoilis—Mr. Walsh has given `us le 17s. and some MoneY'ausce. I can't say how much he has given . us: I left my mother's la,Ouse because she treated me badly: . 'I told my 'dada so. My mother used to upbraid me about lam. My father told - mg, to go by some other name besides Arabin, and my mother_ bid me call myself - Thompson. I said my father used to write to me—(letter produced)—that is one of his letters to me. Elizabeth Arabin, a girl about 12 years old, was then put on the table, and having answered several questions to his Lordship to show that she was acquainted with the nature' of an oath,,Wise examined by Mr. - .Co.trEs as follows :—I ant a dalighteib e f Mr. Arabin, and sister of ,j'he last witness ; the plaintiff is my mother. - I often saw_ Mr.. Arabia in My mother's house in .Bride-street,; I lave gone to him for ininiey for iris mother, and. got it ; he paid for my schooling. - The landlord , of the house in Ilridepstreet ,alluded to in the principal witness's testiinony,Was next called ; but ,as it ap peared that lie was in Court all clay, although an order was made to exclude Witnesses on both sides, Ur. Dwyer declined to examine him., ,„„ John Smith, .examined by gi: bsvya s ureli know William Murphy. Was the proprietor of No. 12, New Bride-street, and is .so, I think since September, 1841. He built the cot tage in which the plaintiff resided, and it became occupied ey her iaSeptember 1842, arid her two daughters, Mary Anus and tlizabeth:Ar ' ebin, The inmates of that cottage were all, 1 believe, well conducted. I never heard anything against them. Mr. Arabi!), the late Lord May, r, paid the rant. He paid it to me last yetir in the Mansion-house. I gave him seceipts for thesent fur Mr. Murphyeand put the plaintiff's name in them as paying it. ' The letters read by plaintiff's Conned' in opening the _case were then given in. . , The plaiutiirscase then .elosed,,and • Mr. HaTcliata4-:Q.C.,, proceeded 'to address the jury for the defence, He .stigatatise,d.the entire Case as afoul and malicious censpiracy, got up by a party 'behi n d' the s creen, to wreak upon , the defendant v.engeancet for something. he bad done towards hint, or,supposed he had done; in fact, he said he was prepared •to show that the plaintiff was nothing more than ski tool in the hands of others. The defendant, however,, might safely rely upon the , case for the prosecu 7 ;ion; and call upow a jury for a verdict ; but he would not be satisfied withoati,showing his .perfect innocence of the Cflille imputed to-him, for ha wes enabled, under Proiidence, to, remove allimputatiansfrom. his character that he ever was the ,debaucher of-his.. own .ahilth .The case, if true, would 'have beenstried ;before a Dublin jury, but it • was not ; and why not ?. Because all the parties-were .well known there. Ttie defendant, who tilled the office of Lord Mayor last year, -was no. doubt well known there and respected by-all; and he ( Mr. Hatchell).:should: inform the Court that there - wei e other parties in the case deeply mixed up - in the transaction, who also were .well kncavh ire the metropolis, and perhap better known. than trusted. That-was one reason for leavin the city; awl very probably , the additional costs that woul be thus incurred were expected to assist' in a compromise of a suit which there was no foundation' for, for it Was a well known fact that such caoseestich conspiracies—were often the means ofextorting money from innocent parties!, who, in many instances, would,t from fear, pay any an:vaunt of money rather than that such a can, although false, should come before a jury.: Mr. Arabin would uot, hostrever, be imposed on, and therefore he boldly defied the coriepiracys He did not, and • could not deny, thatwhen-aayoung man -he had formed 4 connexion with the.plaintiff, lived with-hen-and had some children by her, amongst whom was Mary Anne Arabin ; but he repudiated the atrocious allegation that he wits her seducer; and that was• clear from the evidence, 'documentary and otherwise. • The true state of the case was this—it was a conspiracy got up by some , underhand party, • who urged on the pl a i n tiff t o make this charge for th e purpose of extortion, and she 'was easily worked upon from jealousy ; for Mr. Arabin, from 'her -.conduct, was obliged to dis continue all - intercourse with. her.

MONDItIY MARCE 2, 1846.1 ASSIZE DTELLIGENCE. was occasioned by a heavy blow with some blunt instru ment, such as a stick or a piece of wood. A heavy stick that was fmkin yie cottage of the priso ner was pro d uced y. the dO;st4blB, add it was likewir4tated that tlieri bas"i Et‘ ler e iece — • rAoner's arden that' was used to eep c gate shut, and w is was move rem its place in the evening, and it was supposed' that the fatal injury had been inflicted by means of one or other of those weapons. ' The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said, "'I never hurt her; she must have hit her head against the do'or." The jury found the priioner Guilty of Manslaughtre, and he"was sentenced to be transported for twenty years. Charles Hiunnurstons p 24, a well-known Lond o n thi e f, was indicted for a robbery with violence, upon Josb'Ja Lettey, on the Queen's highway, and taking from bir d fourteen sove reigns, and Lee Buchland Wade l 24, WrS indicted for felo niously inciting and counselling the ot!iier prisoner to commit the offence. Mr. Tapinasse and Mr. Lydvlclier prosecuted. The.circumstances of the case were these :—The prosecutor Was a farmer, and on the evening of the 31st December he was returning home from market in his cart, when he was attacked by five men, some.of whom jumped into the chaise, and held him while the others rifled his pockets, and robbed him of the amount mentioned. The prisoner Hummerstone pleaded guilty. The only evidence against the other pri soner was an extraordinary conversation that took place between him and Hummerstone, while they were locked up in separate cells, but within hearing of each other. The con versation referred to was proved by Barnes, an inspector of the Herts constabulary, and was to the lowing effect: Humerstone began the conversation by' calling out for "Bucky," and asking where they "pinched" (took) him, and he replied, "At Cambridge." Hummerstone then said he was quite sure they would pinch him, for they were all seen on the road together. " Bucky" then asked Hum merstone what he meant, to " patter" (his defence), and he replied that he should say that he went to a public house where the " sploder' (witness) was, and had two pots of beer, and that he overtook the other men by accident on the road. The prisoner Hummerstone then told the other prisoner that while he was in the cage he heard' a respectable man say " that the' bloke' (prosecutor) eoutcl not and would not rap to any of - theni, and that he had better have the fourteen quid than have to pay 50/. or 601., which it would cost to get them lagged." He added, "If Cheeky is taken, it will be the worse for me." Bucky replied, " non sense, keep to ass story; if I had not done so I should have been ' ochared' (transported) long ago." Hummerstone then said, "If I get my liberty again, you will not catch me in a chuck' (highway robbery) with any of the home ones,' (country thieves) again." Bucky then said, " I ain't afraid of my Poll's cracking, for she does not know , anything, only what you told her on the road, and I told her not to know any of you." Hum merstone replied to this, " I should be glad to take seven shekel' (years) for this and glad of the chance." Bucky said, " You begin to duck, but you will be square enough. I don't think any of you will be stuck to." He then asked whether they did'nt have a split? Hummer stone said, " Yes, Blood and Cheeky collared the prad (horse), and I jumped up behind the chaise, and got hold of the 6 bloke's' collar, but the drag shook about so, that I lost my hold." Bucky then asked what time they got home, and Hnmmerstone replied, " About twelve o'clock, and Blood and Nutty went away with the rowdy,' and I was a fool for not Sticking to the swag" (booty). Mr. Baron ALDERSON, there being no other material evi dence, said there was no doubt that the prisoner Wade was perfectly well aware of all the circumstances of the robbery, but the evidence was not sufficient to make out the specific charge in the indictment. Wade was consequently acquitted, and the other prisoner was sentenced to be transported for life. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. • (Before Mr. Baron PARKF and Mr. Justice HAULM) THE DRURY-LANE MURDER. Thomas William Wicks,. aged 20, was placed at the bar, charged with the wilful murder of James Bestock. Bodkin, , ,with Mr. Baldwin, attended to prosecute; and Mr. Ballautiney with Mr. Crouch, were engaged for the pri soner.. Mr. BODKIN having stated the case, called Samuel Parsons, who lived at No, 4, Pitt-place. Last saw the deceased alive on Monday morning, the 10th February. The deceased lived in the same house with him, and on that morning, as he was rising, he heard a voice " Mas ter," which was a very usual occurrence, as Bostock's ap prentices were in the habit of doing so when they wanted admittance. Soon after he heard a shot, and coming down stairs as soon as possible, he obtained assistance and a light, and Mrs. Bostock, who was then coming down stairs with a lighted candle, and himself, discovered the body. It was lying directly in the passage of his own shop. He was not then dead. One half of his head, and his shoulder and left side, was in a pool of blood. Witness called a policeman, and the weunded man was taken to the hospital, Witness spoke to him two or three times, but Bostock could return no answer. Lie knew of no quarrel between the prisoner and deceased. ' FrederiCk Walter, living at the corner of Princes-street, Drury-lane, examined—He was in a public-house on the morning of the 16th of February, when he saw the prisoner come in' for • a pennyworth cf gin. Witness asked him if " Jern," meaning his master, Bostock, was yet up. He said, " No," he would notrise till seven or eight o'clock. The pri soner,then drank his gin and left. Martha Haslitt— Knew the prisoner. Met him at the corner of Chiswell-street, Finsbury-square ; she asked him if he wasgoing to work, and he said no. She asked him the reason, and be said merely because he was not going. She told him she was going, and was in a hurry. He asked her to have something to drink, but at first she refused; he was then sober, but flurried and pale. There was nothing very peculiar, however, about him. She saw him before that time on Thursday fortnight. She never had anything to say to him about his master. When leaving him at the corner of Primrose-street, Shoreditch, he asked her what time she would leave off work. She told him at eight ; 'and he said, perhaps I may come and meet you • and he then bade her good-bye. On that day week ( Monday, the 23d) she promised to take a half-holiday to go to the play. She said she would stop work earlier to go with him, but he only peured out some gin and made her no answer. BIRTHS. On the 26th Feb., at Claydon House, Bucks, Lady 'Verney, of a son.

Tej Singh said that this time the army ,would, undoubtedly treat her ill ; that 'she had sent them against the English toset them ruined,, but that the army had found out the device, arid now said they would " comb "* her, along with Raja Lai Singh, and imprison the gurdars, and, deliver them to Raja.

Mr. Otter, Mr. Grey, and Mr. Selby conducted the prose cution ' • the prisoner was deAaded by Mr. Matthews. Mr. OMR addressed the,ury, and stated the fasts of the case, as subsequently detailet by the witnesses. Isabella Joicey examine by Mr. Orr Ea—l am the widow of the late Robert Joicey, who was sixty-seven years old at the time of hi death. Came to Cockle Park •in May, 1845. My huebtid was bad with pains in his arms last summer. In October he and I were attended by Pr. Hedley, of Feltoi. We have had medicine If ft ler ua at the Portland Arms. At the latter end of Noy. my husband went to Yalta ; and brought a lit% of pills and some powders home with hie, which he took. I remember getting a parcel from 1843E114 lirown on Monday, the Ist of December, between nine aid ten in the morning, I took it into the house, and laid it tpon the table, while my husband was shaving. He opened tie parcel, and read one direction, which was in the inside. 'here were two powders, the large one of a slate colour, and a imaller one of a snuff colour. I do not know what was dme with the outer paper of the parcel, as I never saw it after the powders were taken out. I cannot read. I saw my datghter give to Dr. Iledley the paper which was contained in the parcel. I cannot say whether, the paper produced is like the one found in the .parcel. On the same day my husband went out andreturried with some gin to mix the powder with, When he went to bed, at nine o'clock,. I got the medicine from the shelf, and laid it beside him with the gin, and a teaspoon and a cup. He mixed it himself and drank it, He took the larger powder, which was the slate coloured one. He had got his supper, and went to bed after taking the medicine, When I went to bed shortly after, he was sleeping. I fell asleep, and was awoke by him, as he was making a work, and said he was sick. 1 got up, and before 1 could get out of the bed lie began to vomit, and vomited a good' deal. There was once a little blood in his vomit. Ile continued by turns vomiting all night, till about four o'clock in the morning, when it abated. During the night he was also purged, and complained about being sick. I gave him water 'to drink when he desired it, and tea and coffee, and anything he wished for. He took a good -deal of cold water. In the morning I said that, as he bad been so poorly after taking the powder, I would burn the other. He said I might, if I had a mind, and I put it in the fire. The next day he was sick by turns, and complained of a pain at his breast. He drank little water that day. He got some powders from Dr. Hedley on the same day, my son bringing them in the afternoon, according to my directions. He got a dozen powders. I told my son to tell Dr. Hedley that my husband had had such a night of throwing after taking the large powder. My husband died on Monday evening, the Bth of December. During that interval he did not throw, so that what he ate he kept in his stomach. He took the powders every four hours, according to Dr. Hedley's directions. I remember Dr. Hedley coming over on Sunda evening, the 7th December, having been fetched by my' son, wt the desire of Mr. Dickinson. The doctor saw the old man, but I did not hear what was said. On Saturday, the 13t h of December, Mr. Weallens came to our cottage, when my son and daughter were in. I cannot say whether my son (the prisoner) made a statement to Mr. Weallens, nor can I say who sent for him. Sarah Thompson, a neighbour of the Joicey's who saw the deceased frequently between the time of his taking the powder and his death, described his symptoms. He said the skin was off the inside of his throat. He could not rest, bat rolled about the bed and kept 'asking for drink. He said he thought his entrails were out. At the latter end of last August—just after the " kirn supper"—the prisoner came into our house, and said to my husband, "he wished to God his father was gone from the place a corpse—he would not shed a tear." The prisoner used often to say that his father was such an out-of-the-way man. Walter Weallens, /arm-steward at Cockle-park, said—On the 15th I was in Joicey's house, having been told that Mar garet wanted me. When I went in, Margaret, her mother, and the prisoner were there. Margaret setme a chair, and I asked her what was her will. She made no answer, and Ralph, the prisoner, then said he had sent for me to confess. I asked, " confess what?" he said "I did the deed;" and I replied, " what deed?" He said, " I poisoned my father." I said I was sorry to hear that, and he said that no person was guilty but himself. Every other person, he added, was clear. I then asked what was his motive for doing so, and he said he was so agitated by the old man almost pushing him into the fire one night, that he made up his mind to go to Morpeth to procure so.ne stuff. I then asked what he got, and he said arsenic and jalap.- 'I think he said it was on Mor peth horse-fair night. He also stated that he went straight through the fields, as fast as he could go, to the Portland Arms and gave it in, and then came round by Tritlington, and called at James Ord's on his way home. He said it wanted twenty minutes to eight when he got home. He further said that when he saw the old man suffering so much he would willingly have shared his sufferings, but it was too late. He told me that a part of the stuff was in a thorn bush on the west side of the road near the Helm-on-the-Hill turn. He said he got it from Mr. Creighton, of Morpeth. I never gave directions to the prisoner to procure arsenic: I have seen the prisoner write. Arthur Hedley described his visit to the old man, in a medical eapacity, and the symptoms which he observed. He continued—A piece of paper was given to me by the daughter, having something written upon it. I gave it back to Mar garet. I did not see the old, man vomit. My opinion was that he was suffering from metallic or irritant poison ; arsenic is both. I suspected that mortification was going on, and gave him the powders I had with me. When I left to go to Mr. Dickinson's, the bailiff, the son went with me. I then told him that his father 'was dying from the effects of the powder he had taken. The prisoner seemed sorry. Mr. Dickinson and I returned to the house some time afterwards, when the paper I had formerly seen was again given to me, and I handed it to Mr. Dickinson. The mother, daughter, and the prisoner were talking to me, when the son said that before his father took the powder he had seen it, and world not have taken it, it had a curious look; and the mother said that was correct. On the 10th December, Mr. Hudson and I made a post mortem examination of the body. The gullet was highly inflamed ; a portion of the stomach, about the size of a hand, was gangrenous; the rest of the stomach and the small intestines were highly inflamed, and just beginning to ulcerate. This was caused, in our opinion, by a metallic irritating poison. I have no doubt that that was the cause of death. Cross-examined-1 cannot say his death was caused by arsenic, but by some metallic irritant poison. In another case in which arsenic caused death, it was fatal in about eight or nine hours. The dry parched tongue is usually a symptom of typhus. Catching at the bed-clothes frequently accompanies typhus in its later stages. Calomel is a metallic irritant drug. In very large quantities it might produce similar symptoms. Re-examined—On the 27th of November and the 7th of December, when I saw Joicey, I think he was not suffering from typhus. Supposing a large quantity of calomel to be admanstered, if time were to elapse in this case salivation from Mr. Hedl ey ' s f or the Jeiceys to the w ould ensue.

I did so, and found a small par ' cel ; inside a white paper was a blue paper, containing a powder. Charlton was with me, and on our road home we met Wigham, the policeman, and I gave the parcel to him. I live next door to Joicey's, and have heard noises • great in their house. On the day before finding the parcel, I went into the stable where the prisoner's horses stood. Charlton was with me, and Thompson came in, and found something in the prisoner's great coat, which was hanging over a stall. John Thompson—l am a hind, living at Cockle Park. On Tuesday, the 2d of December, the prisoner and I went to Newton. on-the-Moor. He went to Earsdon by. a bye-road, and I went by the Portland Arms. He had to pass by Helm Hill; where there is a bush. On Sunday evening, Dec.l4, I went into the stable, and in ea old coat belonging to the prisoner I found a paper, which I afterwards gave to the wit need Dickinson. Ann Richardson, the bendager, deposed to the fact of the prisoner and his father living on bad terms. John Wigram—l am a police officer at Morpeth. In con sequence of information I received, I went in search of the prisoner on the night of the 13th December. I came to New castle, and apprehended him at his broth er ' s h ouse , i n Hut ton's-yard, Pilgrimastreet. It was about three o'clock on Sunday morning. I charged him with having poisoned his father, and he replied that he knew all about it. , Robert Hawdon, surgeon, who assisted at the post mortem ' examination, gave a similar account to that given by Dr. Hedley. Gave the stomach and its contents to Dr. Creighton. Some other medical evidence was then produced, to prove the existence of arsenic in the contents of the stomach of the deceased. Mr. Marrnaws then addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. . Several persons by, whom the prisoner had been employed were'called, and gave him a good character. , His LORDSHIP summed up with great care and minuteness, and the jury, after a consultation of about a quarter of an hour, returned a verdict of Guilty, recommending the pri sOner to mercy. Sentence of death was passed upon the prisoner. HOME CIRCUIT.—Her ford, Feb. 28. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Levi'Warman was charged upon the coroner's inquisition with the wilful murder of his wife, Elizabeth Warman. Mr. T. Chambers conducted the prosecution. The evidence against the prisoner was entirely of a circum stantial character. It appeared that he was a labourer, and resided at Standen, in this county. The deceased was re presented to be a very well conducted industrious woman, but the prisoner had some bad connexions, and frequently quarrelled with and ill-used his wife. On the evening of the 16th of August the deceased had been to market, and re turned with some little articles she bad purchased about seven o'clock, and the prisoner questioned her as to what had become of some apples off the trees in the garden. The de ceased replied that she knew nothing about them, upon which the prisoner abused her, struck her on the head, and drove her out of the house. She went to a neighbour's cottage for protection, and the prisoner went there and told her to come out, at the same time making use of various threats towards her; and among other observations, he said, if she did not come out he would "weed her in the neck hole, and she should remember the day and the hour." The neigh bour seeing the temper of the prisoner, advised the deceased not to go indoors until he was gone to bed, and she remained about the house, and was last seen alive crying in the garden of the cottage. Shortly after this the prisoner sent his daughter, who was the only person in the house at the time, to a beer-shop at some distance to fetch him a pipe, and sng t e h e e mother bod lyingh im mediately after s h e was gone , the prisoner was heard to come down stairs and go i n t o th e g arden, and he then again re turned to the hous e . Wh en the daughter came back, she found e i h "Ahrden Iqusihtee is gone, and Godead. An alarm in exclaimedtheg,a was even, and' the prisoner we nt down stairs, and on his e bless her."

Walcott, gunmaker, Walworth—The prisofier called on him about the 9th or 10th of the month with a small pistol, which he desired witness to unscrew and put a flint in. Wit ness oiled the screw and rectified the barrel. He told him that he wanted the pistol to shoot a dog which had bitten him under the left jaw. He asked witness if he could give him a bullet to fit it, and he got two slugs for it. Pri soner came en the following day, and he asked witness to look at the pistol, as it often missed fire. He then said that 'he had shot the dog. 'Witness returned the pistol, finding C.it 'all right. On . the Friday follow ing :he called a ga i n an d s h owe d a percussion pistol which he said he had _got instead Of the other, giving 21. 6d. extra to the seller. lie then asked for two balls to fit it, for which he paid. Witness asked what he wanted thO pistol for, as he had shot the dog? lie said that he intended to go bird shooting on Primrose-hill. Witness cautioned him to be careful lest he should hurt any one. He said 'that he would take care that no accident occurred. James Stone, all and colourman, Great Wild-street—Knew the prisoner. He came to him to purchase some gunpowder on the 7th of this month, to shoot birds with. He came again on the Monday following. He, on the latter occasion, told witness that he had shot some birds, but did not know the names of them.. -From. the description the witness thought they might be snipes, and he asked him what he had shot them with. He produced a pistol, and showed him some un finished bullets, Witness kept one of them, which he after wards gave up to the policeman. Cross-examined by Mr. BALL...Num—The 'prisoner ap peared quite calm when he called upon him. Edward Mariners sold unredeemed pledges in Drury-lane. On the 11th of the month prisoner called on him and asked -if he had a percussion pistol for sale. Witness showed him one, Which he at first complained of, and he went away. He returned again in about an' hour, but it was not till he came the third time that he said he wished to exchange a flint one for it. He held the pistol very cautiously, and when witness went to take ithe said " Take care, it is loaded ;" and on unscrewing the barrel he found a bullet in it. He .gave an additional 2s. 6d., and took away the percussion pistol. Margaret Connell, living at No. 5, Orange-court, Drury lane-:-She kept 16dgings. The prisoner lodged with her on the 14th and 15th of the month. When he came on Satur day he gave her half a sovereign, which he Said he had bor rowed of his mother. ' Ite said also that he had met with an accident; he had lost his, of his maker's property. The prisoner said he would stop 2s. or 2s. 6d. a week till the money was made. up. Witness said perhaps he would stop it all. He afterwards told her that his master had stopped it all. He sat down on a chair and showed her a pistol, which he pointed at her, at the same time saying it was loaded. She asked him why it was, loaded, and he said he was going to Primrose-hill to sh oo t birds. He went to bed on Sunday night at about eleven o'cloCk. He was quite sober. John Cannall, 44 F.—On Saturday the 14th he was on duty in Drury-lane, and was called into Mr. Bostock's. He found the prisoner there, and Mr. Bostock said that he had sent the prisoner for some money.; that he had returned, saying that D he had lost s- .lle wished to give him in charge for appro priating the money to his own use. :He was about to take him into custody, when the prisoner offered 2s. 6d. a week till the money waft paid. Mr. Bostock refused, as' the prisoner's former conduct had displeased him. The prisoner asked how he was , to live, to which his master- made no reply. The prisoner then, paid the lls.' out of 14s: due to him for the week. He only received 6d., as 2s. 6d. had been advanced him that week already. The prisoner,here said that half of the policeman's state ment was false.. James Porter, living at 5, Orange-court, knew the pri soner, who slept in' thesame room , with him. The prisoner asked, on the 14th February, if hes(Witriess) knew any per son who had a pistol for sale. On Sunday night witness asked prisoner what time he should get up to work. He said about six. On the• morning of Monday witness. was called up by the prisoner, who went out about a quarter , before six o'clock. Joseph Thompson, 62 F, went to a coffee-house in Great Queen-street; on the evening of February 16. He found the prisoner there; he was in the public room, taking some coffee. Witness took him into custody for murder. He said on his way to the station-house, "Is it true that Martha has, made a statement of this?" Witness said, " I don't know, • she was at th e s t a ti o n-house." He said, " So help me God she is innocent; I keep company with the girl ; she knows nothing about it." Witness told him that what he said might be used in evidence against him. He said "It's all right."' He was then patting his hand in• his pocket, when witness prevented him. He said " There's nothing there, I bunged that at Gravesend," He again said; "Is he dead ?" Witness said "Yes." He said, "He was a rogue to me ; I have had satisfaction ; this has been brew ing for him for a twelvemonth. He had me for my money, and not far my, work." . He again said, " Is he really dead P" Witness said, " Yes." He then said, " I shall die happy, I dare say I'll suffer." Ile waf, searched at the station-house, and 7s. 2d.. was found on him. W. D. Burnaby, chief clerk of Bow-street police-court, had taken down the deposition of the witnesses, and the deposition enclosed was that of Thompson. The prisoner's observation on that evidence when it was read aloud to him was "That it was true enough." , William Pocock, 14 F, was with Thompson when the pri soner was taken into custody. At the time when the pri soner was going into the station-house door some person " Well, Pocock, Ilion% spoke to him, and the prisoner said, "It is revenge,". or I've bald asked ked master; him had my revenge." During the time the prisener was in the blame you for finding me. h e was a w w o li :d th er er he no di 4t d ock no twiset dead, d iw a e n l twelve when charge-room he. held out .his hand to the witness, and so ; 4 ago."

He afterwards added, Oh 'Pocock, what a thing it, is to have a guilty conscience." He asked whether his ,mother could have his clothes, because she might have them as well as Jack setclu MARRIED.

I own lam guilty. He was a bad mader to me, and I wonder I did not do it before. Me. Dnwtnn, hoose.gurgeen, College—Hospital, !lug.; that the cause of Bostock's death was a gun shot wound Y the head. (A bullet taken from the brain of deceased was produced in Court ) Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTIWE--He believed that the rupture of vessels in the head or concussion causing con gestion would injure a person's mind. Such an injury might cause insanity in the case of an elderly person, but a younger might regain the full power of his faculties. The prisoner's statement before the magistrate was then read. It added nothing to the evidence already produced. Mr BALLAITINE, for the prisoner, addressed the jury. He would not attempt to deal_ with the facts ,of the case. He would rather confine himself to the state of the pri soner's mind at the time this act was committed. The Learned Counsel then entered into an analysis of the different degrees of insanity, and contended that from an in jury received some seven or eight years ago the prisoner's brain was affected to such a degree that he (although ap parently sane enough on ordinary matters) had this singu lar morbid' delusion, that every action of his late master's, however kind that might be, was distorted into an act of tyranny, and to be revenged accordingly. The Learned Counsel reviewed the whole facts adduced in evidence, and endeavoured from them to carry out the particular line of defence he had laid down. Mrs. Wicks (mother of the prisoner) was then called, and stated that her son had received a severe injury by a fall, which had for a short time the effect of unsettling his under standing. He attempted to commit suicide about two years ago. Mr. Harvey, surgeon ' proved that the prisoner had met with an accident which had considerably injured his head, at the period referred to by the mother. Mr. Baron PAR summed up the evidence, and the Jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE then addressed the prisoner, and said it was impossible, after the , evidence that had been adduced, that the Jury could come to any other conclusion than that be was guilty of the foul and horrible crime of which he had been accused, and it appeared to have been committed in the most calm and deliberate manner. Under these circum stances it was impossible to hold out to him any hope of mercy, and he therefore entreated him to make the best use of the skert time that remained to him in this world, and en deavour to obtain pardon in that which was to come. The Learned Judge then passed the sentence of death in the usual form. . The prisoner, who during the whole trial appeared to be quite unmoved, did not appear in the least discouraged at the sentence. As soon as the Learned Judge had concluded, he begged to be allowed to say a few words. He then said " that he wished to thank the gentleman who defended him for his exertions ; he could see, however, it was of no use, but still he wished to thank him." The prisoner then walked away from the Bar with a firm step. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH I.—Her Majesty's ship Calypso, Captain Worth, came here' on Friday from the Nore, with some men from the St.. Vincent. She sailed last night for Plymouth, .there to be paid, and receive her orders for foreign service. She is expected to be sent to the Cape of Good Hope, to relieve the Cleopatra. The Calypso is anew ship, carries twenty heavy guns, and resembles the Dido, except that she has an upper deck. The Fairy yacht went to Osborne House yesterday morn ing soon after eight o'clock, Commander Crispin taking the result of the division in the House of Commons for the, in formation of her Majesty. The communication was made to the officers at the Royal Clarence yard by the electric tele graph. In the forenoon Admiral Sir Charles Ogle went down in the Comet steamer, to pay his respects to her Majesty. On his return he came up with the Janus steamer, out on an , experimental trial (without the Rattler), and seeing she was in difficulty, and bearing that some 'part of the ma chinery had sustained injury, the Admiral directed a hawser to be passed out, and, taking her in tow, brought her into harbour. Her Majesty's steamer Scourge goes to sea to-morrow morning, to try her mortar ()Lite more; the engineer of the Scourge appears to think that when it is tired there is some disarrangement caused to the machinery in the engine-room. Mr. Taplin, the mechanist of the dock-yard, has therefore been ordered to go in the Scourge, and ascertain if the con cussion caused by the explosion does affect the machinery or not. The Scourge will afterwards be kept at Spithead, ready for sea. The Retribution and Cyclops, first-class steamers, are in the harbour ready for service. The. Cyclops came from the Brazils, but it is doubtful if she returns thither, as the Samson has been sent out t o t a k e h er p l ace. The Retribu tion has only been tried at sea during the passage round from the•Nore. The Harlequin and Wanderer, 16-gun brigs, are fitting rapidly, and have got nearly all their crews. 1 hey will be ready for sea by the end of this month. The Harlequin is expectesl to be sent.to the West Indies, the Wanderer to the coast of Africa. The 'Childers, 16, was masted yesterday, and has been reported ready for,officers and men. The Carysfort, 26, goes to Spithead on Tuesday, and will be paid wages. Her compasses have been adjusted by Commander Strange. The arrangements at present are, for Governor Sir Charles Fitzroy, his family and suite, to embark in the course of the week, and sail on Saturday for Sydney. - - ; The .Devastation, second-class, steamer, at Woolwich, having been commissioned by Commander E. Crouch, a tender will be sent from this port with her planer and sea men gunners from the Excellent. . The Phoenix steamer has been . here on her way to Guern sey and Jersey with . Itoyal Artillery. After landing theM, and taking the relieved party to Woolwich, she is to return to Spithead, to take Vkers and men to the squadron in the Mediterranean. The Phenix is fitted with a screw-propeller, and is to be stationed at Gibraltar. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. MANCtiIISTER, Pas. 28.

THE PROSPECT OF SPRir • Once more may we happily hail The soul-stirring prospect of spring; Mild breezes and sunshine prevail, And the birds are beginning to sing. The trees are already In bud, And the fields are reviving again ; And many now blossoms bestud The garden, the hill, and the plain. This, this is the time to lay by The garments that winter requied, And seek for another 'supply, Where thousands are daily attic d. The Mart of E. MOSES and SON . , Which carries the sway, like a king, Has dresses wkich ne'er were outdone, Choice raiment—just lit for the spring. •. The coats for the present spring season Are fashion'd in quite a new style; And, reader, you'll really have reason To 16ok and approve with a smile.
