MaliSilout presume to speculate upon the probable conclusion, in the minds of the multitude, which the division upon this motion is calculated to induce, namely, that the majority of those who took part in the debate were of opinion, that notwithstanding the facts above referred to, which were not even denied, that the law, as administered by the magistrate, and carried out by the excise, aided by the police force, stands so imma culate and in harmony with those constitutional privileges to which we have drawn attention, as to require no revision, no amendment whatsoever. The principal ground on which the opponents of the inquiry rested their refusal was, that it was admitted that the officer was in fault, and that it was not necessary to the vindication of Mr. SMITH'S character. Now these were by no means sufficient reasons for smothering the inquiry ; it was but one, and by far the least important of the motives which induced the motion. Of course Mr. SKITIL must feel very anxious of settmg his character right with the House and the public, but the great object of the in quiry was, what is the state of tho law that allows so gross an indignity to be inflicted on any British sulject, with a view to its alteration and amendment ? Search-warrants should ever be granted with the greatest caution and reluctance. No vague suspicion, no rumour or surmise, should be considered sufficient to enable any magistrate to sanction a proceeding so subversive of the liberty of the sub ject, so calculated to provoke resistance, to induce a breach of the peace ; but, beyond all, an anonymous letter, the whispered information of a coward, who is afraid to have his face seen, his name known ; who gives vent to his pestilen tial slander from the concealment of a mask—generally for the gratification of personal malignity—should not for a moment be listened to, should meet with no sanction or support. It is a proceeding wholly repulsive to every English, to every manly feeling. What can be thought of the conduct of the officer who, on such a founda tion, ventured to swear that he had reason to suspect, and did suspect, that an illicit still was actually concealed on the premises of 2.1 r. Skit= ; cr of the magistrate, whose duty it was to inquire into the sufficiency of the grounds for such suspicion before he granted such a warrant? Surely the parties who could commit so grievous an error must be wholly unfit to discharge their relative duties; and surely, likewise, the correction of errors such as these, if they be ad mitted to be errors, by making the law of sufficient force to insure the subject against their repetition, is not one beneath the grave consideration and corrective acts of the legislative assembly. After a protracted silence and an apparent apathy, the Committee for promoting the establishment of Baths and Washhouses for the Labouring Classes, gives some indication that it has not altogether abandoned the object for which it was constituted in 1844. Acceding, as we do, to that honest old adage which inculcates the fact of cleanliness being next to godliness, and convinced, as we are, that dirt is the embryo of disease, and tat in the habitual slovenliness of the industrious poor is involved the consequence of their demoralisation, we have looked with anxious attention for some evidence that the Committee were really striving to carry out their originally expressed intentions. Whatever appearances might imply, we were still sanguine that this crusade for the promotion of comfort to the population had not been entered upon merely to be forsaken. We are now fully impressed with the conviction that we did not anticipate too much, and the patient silence which has been displayed in respect to the operations of the Committee are at length compen sated by the ostensible revival of the subject. Upon mature consideration of the difficulties which had to be surmounted and occasionally the prejudices which had to be removed we are induced, not only to forego any remonstrance to the members of that Committee upon their procrastination in the development of their plans, but to accord them, on the contrary, the most decided approval for a delay which, if not absolutely necessary, was certainly very advisable. Bis dat quo cito dat is, without doubt, a truism in the ab stract, but so, likewise, is a homelier, though no less applic able saying—" More haste, worse speed." And if either might be assumed as a motto to this explanation, the Committee would unquestionably have selected the latter. The scheme upon which they had entered is regarded by the majority of social economists as an experiment ; and such, in literal reality, it is as far as the metropolis is concerned. The success which has attended a similar undertaking at Liverpool, though a most encouraging experiment, did not sufficiently corroborate the opinions expressed by the Com mittee. " You may," said these sceptics in the improve ment of the mass, " brag about the surplus capital acquired by such establishments in Lancashire; you may dilate upon the satisfaction to the skin and morals of a mechanic by the applicatien of a clean shirt ; you may swear, if you like, that soap is a panacea of health, dry towels the best preventives of intoxication, and starch a most excellent substitute for a sermon. You may assert all this until you are black in the face, but we tell you that your benevolence will prove of a very unprofitable character, and that wash-tub philan thropists will speedily inundate the columns of the Gazette. Clean linen and clean faces are very desirable things, no doubt, among ourselves, but with the inhabitants of White chapel, and Brick-lane, and Saffron-hill, a dirty complexion is a much better letter of recommendation. The classes for whose convenience you will be laying down water-pipes and constructing basins have a positive relish for the filth you are anxious to eradicate; they will preserve that preference, and lay out their pence after their old fashion." It is against these discouraging notions that the Committee have to under take the construction of buildings and the opening of esta blishments of a most novel and economical character. By precipitating theirplans, or by rushing without forethought into an expenditure, they would hazard the realisation of these forebodings, and by their ill-success at the very outset would bring an admirable system into disrepute. On these accounts, we consider the interval of preparation is not time squandered away, and the forward appearance of the model baths and washhouses at Goulstone-square, is an evidence that, besides maturing their scheme, the Committee have marshalled their army of bricklayers and hodmen. We trust, however, that the labour of dissemi nating a love foe cleanliness among the poor, may not be restricted to the crippled capacities of this single Committee, but that the Legislature will come forward, and that speedily, for the encouragement of similar associations. When we see the Government endeavouring in other respects to improve the condition of the populace— giving them a Victoria Park for their recreation, a British Museum for their instruction, and a National Gallery as a means of opening their minds to the appreciation of art—is it not actually anomalous to observe no effort on the part of our legislators for the removal of the most grievous obstacle to the bodily and mental health of the multitude? How can a labouring man be expected to foster anything like an appetite for intellectual improvement when he returns to a comfortless home, with a proportionate feeling of per sonal discomfort ? His natural resource is the oblivion of the beer-shop. Through the instrumentality of such institutions as the one now rising in Goulstone-square, the very poor would be enabled to wash themselves and their clothing at a charge ridiculously small—a penny for a cold, and twopence for a hot, bath—and yet, with every human probability of either an equivalent or an increased amount of return upon the monies invested in such establishments. The success which has followed the labours of the Corpotation of Liverpool would almost be a sufficient assurance in this regard. During the three years and nine months which their plans have been in operation, no less than 44,115 have washed there upwards of 1,000,000 articles, while, during the first three quarters of their current year, their ex penses have been exceeded by thirty pounds. A si milar prosperity has attended a similar establishment in Glasshouse-yard, near the London Docks, where, during the eleven months of its existence, 25,123, persons have bathed and 31,882 persons have washed there 235,814 articles. The multiplication of such structures would promote the happi ness, the sobriety, the health, and the morality of the people to such an extraordinary extent, that we consider their as sistance and patronage as the bounden duty of the Legisla ture. Whether in an economical, a sanatory, or a religious point of view, the system advocated by the Committee de mands the accordance of Government. A.

Kerning •• 12 iiiinutes after 5. 1 Evening .. 35 minutes after 5. inhabitants, in their excitement, shouted Long live CHARLES ALBERT, King of Italy," and that the Austrian Ambassador having taken offence at this, and demanded his passports, the Government, in order to tranquillise him, countermanded the review, on a plea of a sudden indisposi tion of the Sovereign. Austria is the more alarmed, con tinues the letter, because this excitement has spread to Lom bardy, and has manifested itself at Bologna, and in Itomag nia, where cries of " Long lives CHARLES ALBERT, King of Italy," were also uttered. Preparations are making for celebrating in Genoa, upon a grand scale, the centenuary of the expulsion of the Austrians from that city in 1746. Madrid papers of the 7th have been received. On the 2d an ernuete occurred at Malaga. The Imparcial reports that dispatches bad been received by the Government from the political chief of that city, stating that on the 2d of May, whilst he was walking in the streets, accompanied by a number of officers, a band of men fired upon his party. The colonel of the provincial regiment of Granada was mor tally wounded. In various other parts of the town shots were fired during the day. The authorities, however, had suc ceeded in restoring tranquillity. We learn from the Herald° that Rufus and the members of the Insurrectionary Junta at Galicia have succeeded in effecting their escape into Portugal. They ^.T.r., at present at Viana. We find in the same journal a contr.:diction (which we presume may be considered as official) of the rumour that the Government had it in contemplation to dissolve the provincial regiments. A letter from Caraccas, dated 26th March, is publishcd in the Tiempo. It states that a Minister Plenipotentiary from the Republic of Venezuela to the Court of Madrid was about to embark for Spain, and that he was empowered to ratify the treaty of amity and navigation between Spain and Vene zuela, which had been negotiated by M. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA. The Three per Cents. were done at 32 9-16 for cash ; the shares of the Bank of San Fernando, at 320 ; and those of Isabel, at 185. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The project of law relative to the Belgian treaty passed the Chamber of Peers on Tuesday by a large majority, as did the Domestic Sugar Bill. The debate on the extraordinary cre dits was continued:on Tuesday and Wednesday in the Cham ber of Deputies, and had not concluded wken the post left. In the course of the debate on Wednesday, M. GtnzoT, in reply to M. GUSTAVE DE BEAUMONT, vin dicated England against the ckarge of having prevented the conclusion of a treaty of commerce between France and Morocco, and declared that the objections to that treaty had proceeded entirely from the Emperor of MOROCCO himself. A treaty of commerce has been lately concluded between France and Sardinia, on terms so favourable to France as to suggest the idea that the King of SARDLNIA bad been in duced to make these concessions in consequence of some secret underst-mding hostile to Austria. It is said, however, that there is no reason to believe that the King of SARDINIA con templates any difference with Austria. Baron D'ANDRE, who arrived in Paris from Turin on Tuesday, was the bearer of the ratification of the treaty by the King of SARDINIA. The squadron, under the command of the Prince DE JOLN VILLE, was to sail from Toulon on the 11th. A species of panic prevailed on the Paris Bourse on Wed nesday, for which several causes were suggested—one, that the provincial share-markets were glutted and money scarce ; another, that, Sir R. PEEL'S Ministry was again, and this time seriously, nenaced by dislocation ; another, that a colli sion in the Gulf of Mexico between the combined French and British vessels of war en the one side, and the Ame ricans on the other, was imminent. Although the last-men tioned cause was found to rest only on an article in the New York Herald, received six or seven days previously, the gloom that hung upon the market continued until the close of business.

(From The Sun of last Night.) There was a great demand for Cotton at Liverpool yester day, the sales amounting to full 10,000 bag., including 3,000 on speculation and 1,000 for export, at an advance of V s d. to 1 4d. on the quotations of Friday last. The Share Market was dull, and the quotations generally lower. At Messrs. Wickham and Co.'s sale of shares yesterday an advance in the prices was manifest, compared with their last sale. The attendance was better, and the bidding more spirited. The following are a few of the numerous lots that were disposed of:—East Indian, 16s. 6d.—Ambergate, Not tingham, and Boston, 34s.—Boston, Newark, and Sheffield, 17s.—Northumberland and Lancashire, 235. 6d.—Madrid and Valentia, 21s.—Manchester, Buxton, and Matlock, 695. 6d. —Grand Union, 15s.—York and Carlisle, 30s. 6d.—South Eastern and Dover, No. 4, 60s.—Over Yssel, 225. 6d.

To-day the sky is almost unclouded, and notwithstanding a cool breeze from the eastward, the ther mometer marked 60 degrees in the shade at noon. We are happy to learn that the apprehensions regarding the produce of maple sugar this season have proved groundless, and that the quantity made is considerably above the average." From Montreal likewise we are advised that—" Business is beginning to revive here; that there are seven or eight schooners and sloops in port and three steamers. The only thing that looks wintry-like are the heaps of ice on the wharfs and on the shoals in the river. There was ice formed during the night before last. This morning it is warm, ther mometer at noon 55 degrees, and the smoke of clearing land begins to appear to the southward." The committee for the relief of the sufferers by the Quebec fire had received 162,1821. up to April 20, paid 68,7741., had a balance of 93,4081., and had deposited, at 3 per cent. in terest, 73,3711. In reply to some remarks of a correspondent interested in the continuance of the public sales of railway shares, opposed to the system on the presumed ground of want of security, we are advised thus by the selling brokers :—" We were at first disposed to take no notice of the statements made, as they were inconsistent with the facts, but we beg to state that an auction. conducted as ours is (Messrs. Lamond), affords no greater facilities for the circulation of forged scrip certificates than does the Stock Exchange ; nor do we believe that anything to the same amount of fictitious scrip has passed through our hands as has been dealt in in that market. If this be the case, as we have no doubt the issue of the inquiry now pending respecting the Buckinghamshire scrip will prove, is it not as easy to suppose that forged shares may have been first bought on the Stock Exchange, and then sent to our office, as that they have been bought originally at our auction, and then carried to the Sock Exchange ? Our mode of conducting business is pretty well understood and appreciated by a very numerous and highly respectable connexion." At the East India House this morning the grants to Lords Hardinge and Gough were unanimously confirmed. Consols are not firm this morning. For the Account the prices have ruled from 9614 to 96%; and for Money, from 9634 to 96 1 4. The sales, however, have not been very ex tensive. India Stock was yesterday quoted at 267 ; to-day is only at 264. Exchequer-bills are heavy at 20s. to 235. premium. India Bonds have receded to 293., and Bank Stock to 204th.

The American Congress, after a discussion of more than four months, remarkable alike for the length and number of the orations delivered by senators and representatives, have at last adopted a moderate and indeed unobjectionable reso lution on the Oregon question. We can see little or no dif ference between the joint resolution and that adopted by the Senate. They both contain the main points that affect this country, and not only omit every offensive term and insinuation, but, with commendable prudence, recommend a speedy and an amicable settlement of the pending differences. The resolution, as amended, is in these words (we omit the expletive terms) :—" With a view that steps be taken for the abrogation of the convention of the 6th August, 1827, and that the attention cf the Govern ments of both countries may be more earnestly directed to the adoption of all proper measures for the speedy and amicable adjustment of the difficulties and disputes in respect to the Oregon territory, be it resolved,- That the PRESI DENT of the United States be, and he is hereby authorised, at his discretion, to give to the British Government the notice required by its second article for the abrogation of the convention of the 6th of August, 1827." The PRESIDENT, who has been all along bent en giving the notice, will, of course, use the authority thus conferred on him without de lay. By the month of May, 1847, therefore, the joint occu pancy will cease, and, unless a settlement is made previously, a Collision between the Hudson's Bay men, and the Americans settled in that quarter, becomes in evitable. At present, we believe, the feeling be tween the parties is anything but good, and considering the numbers and courage of the British settlers, with the support they would receive from the natives, who hate the Americans, there could be no doubt about the first onset. The American Legislature, however, is evidently preparing for such an occurrence, and is passing a Bill for encouraging emigration to Oregon, and virtually for the occupation of the whole territory. Such a mode of commencing a war, we trust, will be avoided. It could decide nothing, and only needlessly inflict sufferings on the in nocent, and add to the irritation of both nations England will act a more noble part, and formally demand, for the last time, a " speedy and amicable adjustment of the difficulties and disputes." She has already given in her ul timatum. Mr. &MA-NAN, the agent of Pour, announced in the last conferences, that he would never consent to sign a treaty having less the•.; the 49th degree of latitude for its basis, and, on that announcement, Mr. PAKENHAM de clined all further correspondence. The American PRE SIDENT knows well that the Government of England cannot accede to this new and insolent demand he may also know, if he reads English journals, that neither the Government, nor the Legislature, nor the people, will ac cept any settlement which shall not include the free naviga tion (at least for a certain extent) of the river Columbia for British vessels ; and that the surrender of the Columbia is, to all intents and purposes, the surrender of the whole ter ritory. Mr. BuciLLNAN is aware that England can neither accept his terms nor the slightest modification of them short of her last claims. Any proposition for renewing the conferences must come from America, else events must take their natural course. In fact, England has yielded too much already ; she has paid a deference to par ties in the United States to which they are not entitled ; she has humoured and cajoled the mob orators, rather than confronted them in that attitude which she was entitled to assume, and the consequence is that, not only on the Oregon question, but on others (and they are many) which are yet to be settled, POLK and his party have risen, and will rise in their demands, without the slightest regard to principle, or to the most solemn admissions made by former negotia tors. England has just saved her honour by taking up a position from which she never can recede, and which was duly announced and accepted unanimously by both Houses of Parliament. " She has rights in Oregon, and she is pre pared to maintain them." It becomes her turn now, therefore, to act ; and, unless Pons offers to give up his claims, which he so unequivocally made to the "whole of Oregon," and to act like a reason able being, England must prepare to defend the territory to which she has just claims—claims, too, admitted by every journalist in France, and by nearly all the intelligent and all the honest citizens throughout the Union. But, as we have repeatedly said, the Oregon question is one of a very secondary consideration. A storm is ready to burst forth in the south which is pregnant with momentous events. A war between Mexico and America may be regarded as certain—they are alike inclined to hostilities. The one impelled by shame and indignation, for having been duped and robbed, and the other by an unquenchable tbirst for the conquest of her weak neighbour. The Americans them selves seem to anticipate such a conquest as immediate, and we fear the Mexicans can do little or nothing to atop them. One of the New York journals, rather distinguished too for its moderation, thus adverts to a Mexican war :—" A defeat of the American army on the Rio Grande would almost cause an immediate and voluntary invasion of Mexico; thousands of the western riflemen would rush to the Rio Grande and probably to Mexico." Nothing indeed is more probable except the fact that peace would not be granted by the United States with out the concession of California and Vera Cruz. The interests of England can suffer no more annexations in that quarter, and it would, therefore, be as well for Lord ABER DEEN and Lord ELIENBOROUGH to be prepared far the worst. -1 The motion to which we alluded in our columns of Thursday, for a Select Committee to consider the petitions of Mr. TOULMIN SMITH, and the papers presented to the House relative to the case stated in those petitions, was that e evening . brought forward by Mr. SPOONER, and was nega tived by a majority of nine, there being for the motion 125, and against it 134. The principal safe gua rd of British liberty has evo p utii efrtbhe pudic indignationxcited found in the f ee li ngs of inthe er one at mind whenever an tack -has been made or attempte d tuticinal or despotic n fellow-subjects. Each man makes the case imagines what his feelings and his conduct would his own placed in similar circumstances ; he sympathises wit h t he he h sufferer, and loudly demands redress for the injuries inflicted, te and that such laws may be enacted that for the future th ere can be no possibility of the recurrence of a like outrage. Many of our most valuable'laws have had their origin in private injuries, and we consider it a duty which every man owes tO society to bring prominently forward, and to spare no labour, time, or expense, in obtai n i ng the fullest publicity for his grievances, if they are in their nature such as to affect the community at large. We do not think Mr. SMITH could have patiently su b mi t t ed to the indignity by which he was assailed; he has acted as beco mes si-man of spirit'and intelligence, and there is no part of the entire pro ceedings, or of the debate, which we deprecate more strongly than the imputations which have been attempted against his character and conduct in the transaction. Must insult be ever added to injustice, in order to make it complete? Mr. SPOONEE'S motion was brought forward avowedly for the purpose of calling the attention of the House to the state of the law respecting searches made by the Excise, with a view to its amendment, and the Honourable Member proceeded to instance, in the very facts which Accounts from represent the . had occurred in the case of Mr. Smrrir, such anomalies be tween the existing state of the law and the boasted privi- Piedmont and Lombardy position of affairs in the north of Italy as calculated to who, as Prince DE C King o leges of the Constitution, as would seem sufficient, had they even stood alone and without parallel, to indicate to the Le- 1 gislature the absolute necessity, if for consistency sake alone, great uneasiness to the Austrian Government. The glve f of amending the law, so as to make it conformable to the con- AmoNAN, stitutional privileges of the subject, or of making known to Sardinia (CARL* ALBERTO), was in 1820 one of the Liberal leaders of Italy, if not a pro the community that, since the days of BucKirrosE, they had fussed Carbonaro, but who subsequently betrayed the Liberal gone on in dreamy error in supposing that the sanctity and cause, is, it would appear. exhibiting a tendency to revert to privacy of their nvrecia were sacred and inviolate from the his former opinions.

The relations of the PontificialCourt with Russia are,on the contrary,to be placed on the same footing as two years back. A. letter from Soleure, published in the Zurich Gazette, states that all the elections for the Grand Council had, with one exception, terminated in favour of the Liberal party. The following news from the Caucasus appears in the St. Petersburgh Journal. The letter is dated 29th March : " It may be remembered that the powerful and warlike tribe of the Abadsek, formerly so hostile to the Russians, snbmitted to the Government in the beginning of the pre sent year. A deputation of this tribe is shortly to arrive at St. Petersburgb, to lay at the foot of the throne the expres sion of their devotedness. Lately several Abadseks arrived at Tiflis, to present themselves to the General-in- Chief. They were the elders Djabatourof and Den zoubovef, the Effendi Abdul-Gamid, and the re presentative of the young warriors of the tribe Hadji-Zoukof. They were much feted, and ap peared greatly delighted with their visit, this being the first time that they had entered a large city. The submission of the Abadseks already exercises a marked influence en the independent tribes of the neighbourhood. On M arc h 10 t h , the Princes Marcheni ew , elders of the Bachilbeis, and Ma homet-Guirei-Sidof, ce l ebrated for his acts of r obbery and violence, arrived at Stavropol. They demanded leave to submit themselves unconditionally, and to be received amongst the subjects of Russia, with permission to transport tuemselves to the neighbourhood of the sources of the Ou rOnp, a locality which they had formerly inhabited."

That exhi bited the most important period and the most eventful scenes in the annals of antiquity, restoring the genius, the thoughts, and the circumstances of the Christian era ; this gives to view the leading features of an age almost too closely connected with our own to be termed the past. But both are marked by the same kind of ability, though exercised on widely different themes, and are in their spirit much more essentially historic than fictitious. In " Marston" it appears to be Dr.Croly's design to place on record his impressions and recollections of the last half century. The whole work has the spirit of truth, and in its notices of the French Revo lution, of the war, and of the politics of England and Ireland, presents some of the most vivid portraits of illustrious per• sonages, and some of the most magnificent pictures of me morable events that have yet been given to the public. The varied qualities of the-work will ensure it a wide circle of readers, and we believe a lasting popularity. The imagina tive will esteem it for the romance of its fiction , the thoughtful for its sentiments and its principle s; an d the. men of public life for its copious eloquence and glowing images. —Britannia.

Eliza Clark, aged 24, was indicted for the wilful murder of Jane Clark, her own child, by throwing her into the river. The poor woman, who seemed exceedingly faint, was ac commodated with a chair. Mr. Ryland was for the prosecution; Mr. Clarkson for the defence. Mr. RYLAND opened the case in a plain and exceedingly temperate address, and then called the following witne•ses : Mary Inwood, widow—Knew the prisoner and her husband. They lived in the same house with her. They had a famiay of three children. The eldest was about seven years of age, the next three years, and the youngest a twelvemonth. The youngest was named Jane. On Friday, the Ist of May, she remained with the prisoner till near midnight, when her husband came home. She said, " Well, old chap, you are late to-night." He replied. "Get out you b---r, or I'll kill you." They then went in, and the door was shut. She (witness) heard words inside, but could not distinguish what they were. She heard him say again, " You want to carney me over. Get out you b--, I hate you." She saw Mrs. Clarke again at six o'clock on the succeeding morning. She complained that her hus band had tried to hit her, and had broken the door by the blow he aimed at her. Some time alter, she went out, saying she was going to give the children a walk. She then ap peared to be light in her mind. She was a very sober well conducted woman to her children. She said, on going out, " Oh, is not this enough to make any one go and make away with themselves, to think that he could say 'good bye' in the morning, and then come home at night and say I hate you."' Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—She (the prisoner) did not appear to have been in beu at all on the Friday night. Richard Champ, a tailor, lived at 13, Wellington-street, Chelsea. He knew the prisoner, her husband, and the three children. The prisoner came to his house on Saturday the 2d of May, about two or three o'clock. She was accompanied by her three children,and she remained about a quarter of an hour. He asked her to return, but she said no, as she might stop where she was going. He asked how Mr. Clark was. She said she did not know, and did not care, for he had been beating her bead against the door. She then left, and he found a paper on his bed. Mrs. Inwood was recalled—She was aware that the pri soner was in a state of great distress. She had pawned on the Friday her only flannel petticoat, in order to get food for the children ; and on Saturday morning she had sold the rags out of the bed for a piece of bread for them. Richard Champ cross-examined—When the prisoner was in his house the child commenced to cry. He said, " Poor thing, its a-dry." She shook it, and, when giving it the breast, said, "There's nothing there for you." She had latterly become very negligent. The husband was drunken; and on the day on which tkis happened be was found drunk. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Some say that drunkenness is no crime. See what it produces. Mary Ann Hall was on the bridge, and saw a woman and three children. She set the baby down on the pavement and told the little girl to play with it. She took the little boy up and threw him over the parapet into the river. Then she took up the little baby and threw that over. She then threw the little girl over. She cried out, "Almighty God, Almighty God, save my chil dren !" She then ran to the other side of the bridge and tried to throw herself over. A man coming over with a van ran up and saved her. Jainee Perryman, potman at the Adam and Eve public house, corroborated the evidence given by the last wit. ness. Several witnesses were examined, who merely re capitulated the statements of those who'had gone before. Dr. Wansbrough, after stating that he had made a post moitem examination of the body of the infant, said that he had seen the wretched mother whose mind seemed highly excited ; her language was of the most inco herent character. Her tongue was clammy, the lips dry and hard, and she was evidently labouring under high nervous irritation. Her pulse was 180. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—There were too very well-known symptoms of mental aberration to be observed in the prisoner, namely, a "mooring of the mouth" and " bridling of the lips." Congestion of the brain would follow the increased action of the pulse. Mr. CLARKSON then addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. The Learned Counsel endeavoured to establish that the prisoner was, at the time she committed this act, in a state of mental aberration, caused by the brutal conduct of her husband, and that therefore she could not be held ac countable for her actions. Mr. Baron ALDERSON summed up. His Lordship said, that however much this case was calculated to excite their pity and their compassion, they must, before they allowed these feelings to predominate in their minds, first do an act of justice. They must throw all milder considerations aside, and in the spirit of the oath they had taken, return a verdict upon the strict fact; for they might be sure, that however pious a perjury it might seem to sacrifice justice to mercy, God would judge .them for the deceit practised upon themselves, and the injury done to so ciety. There were two questions for them to consider. They had in the first to be convinced that the death of the infant had been caused by the prisoner; and again, they had to consider the state of mind in which the woman was at the time this act was committed. It would not be enough for them, that the woman had been rendered desperate by the wicked con duct of others. She must be proved to have been unconscious of what she was doing. Having thus stated what the law was, he would now direct the attention of the jury to the evidence in the case. The Learned Judge then briefly re capitulated the leading facts, and commented on them in passing, in the most feeling manner; remarking, in reference to the brutal conduct of the husband, that they could scarcely credit that such things could be done in a Christian country. (The Learned Baron was so affected that at times he could with difficulty proceed with his charge.) The jury then retired, and, after an absence of an hour, returned into Court with a verdict of " Not Guilty, on the ground that at the time she committed the act she was of insane mind."—The unfortunate woman then left the bar. _NEW COURT. The Court was occupied throughout the morning with cases of uttering base coin, but none of them possessed any feature of interest beyond the incidents usual to these cases. " The Highland Garb" has been admitted by almost universal consent to rank with the very choicest costume,i, whether as regards the richness of the materiel or the grace ful arranggment of the drapery; and as universally has it been conceded that within the four seas of Britain is not to be found a caterer so deeply read in the "sets" of the several elan tartans as Mr. Macdougall of Invemess.. That gentle man, as appears by an advertisement in another part of our paper, is now in London, where, in order to accommodate the wants of his southern customers, he intends to remain a few days. He has been fortunate enough to secure a copy of the " Yestiartnn Scoticum," compiled from the original MS., once belonging to the celebrated John Leslie, Bishop of Ros 3, and the admirers of the Breacdn may therefore rest assured that no modern innovation shall be permitted to interfere with "the checks," which the patronage of her Majesty and her Illustrious Consort have again rendered national. ACCIDENT TO LIEUTENANT-COLONEL WHYTE OF THE 7TH HUSSAIIS.—On Friday afternoon this gallant officer wet with a serious accident by being thrown from his horse (a spirited animal) while riding in Hyde Park.
