The uniform of the British army is as faulty, in some respects more so, than any of the other armies of Europe. The colour, in the first place, besides being the most expensive is inappropri a t e , an d' unsu ited to the sober, unpretending character of the country ; for a man clothed in scarlet exhibits the dress of a mountebank rather than a British warrior going forth to fight the battles of his country. Besides being the garb of a dancing -master or a strolling play actor, it is the worst adapted for any hard work of all the colours, as it im mediately becomes shabby and tarnished on being ex posed to the weather, and • a single wet night in the bivouac spoils it compktely.. The heavy cross-belts, one of them to suspend a bayonet, so light compared with its tackling, that the wind-might almost blow it &wig. is tUn useless, beipz an abuse of power ; as ir soldier was not sufficie - ntly lo,dod with manifold trappings laid upon his back when he stands forth in heavy marching order ; and every unnecessary one ought to be held as mischievous, because impeding and detriorating his general efficiency. These things, being matter of plain common observations, should be corrected, and in our own rifle corps we have a beauti ful specimen of what the uniform of the soldier ought to be its dank green—its light black belt and cincture round the waist—the ready convenience of the car tridge-box—all call for its general adoption in the British army. One advantage would be, the banishing pipe-clay for ever from the army—as absurd and un wholesome a nuisance as ever was imposed. The hair powder, and the tight breeches, and the long queues, have long been banished ; but the tight stock remains, to delight the martinet when he torments the soldier. To use a common phrase, the soldier ought ever to have all his eyes about him, more especially when en gaged with the enemy ; and to encircle his neck with a band of the stiffest leather, so that he cannot turn his head without pain and difficulty, ap pears singularly preposterous ; for, with his head so fettered and held up in the air, it is impossible that he can lay his face along the barrel so as to take correct aim with the musket. The circulation of the ascending arteries in the neck is by far the closest of any part of the human body, and to impede its relief by the return ing veins, which a stiff' ligature of any kind is sure to do, must have a stupifying effect upon the brain. It cannot fail, besides, to deteriorate the sight, from the pressure of congested blood upon the optic nerve ; and the stock would seem to be preserved only for the purpose of generating a tendency to all kinds of apoplectic and ophthalmic diseases. A heavy head-piece is everywhere a disqualification and hin drance to the wearer ; for to heat and cumber the brain, whieb, being the source of all our powers and faculties, ought ever to be freest, can never be justified. * * The horseman's sword must protect his head ; and if it cannot, an inner crown of the bark of the cork-tree, which is so light, besides being a non ductor of the solar heat, and impervious to water, would avail to blunt or turn 'the sabre's edge better than a circle or cross-bar of heavy steel. * * I ad vance no pretensions to fancy or taste in military dress ; but I ought to know what constitutes cover and protection to the human frame ; and amongst these, the swallow-tailed coat of the infantry, pared away as it is to an absurdity, holds n ) place. If health and protec tion were the object, the coat should be made of a round cut, to cover the thighs as low as the knees, with body of sufficient depth to support the unprotected flanks and abdomen of the wearer."—Dr. Fergusson's Professional Notes.

In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, ow human disappointments and their ways of relief. it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the sample principles of our owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the is,ue thereof in their se :eral healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our Individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.

He gave the name of John Williams, on being placed at the bar, and stated himself to be a native of Glasgow. From the evi dence ad used it appears that the prosecutor and the prisoner had arrived that morning by the early train. the f ziner being in attend ance on several ladies belonging to his Lordship's family. NS hen the train reached the terminus the bu:ler proceeded to assist the ladies in all,hting from the carriage, and while so employed lie felt some person jostling against him. apparently at the pockets of his coat behind. On quickly turning round he saw the prisoner with his pocket b irk. He immediately seized the hand, when the prisoner Instantly dropped the heok and a coat, which he had over his arm, on it, and the prosecutor, in attempting to pick it up, lost his grasp of the thief, who at once darted off, leaving his coat behind.

From the information which I have been enabled to glean in the short interval which lias elapsed between the occurrence of the accident and the departure of the post, it ap pears that two persons, names not yet ascertained, were driving a spirited horse in a gig along the Spetchley road, about three milts from this city, and near to the Spetchley station of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, when the horse took fright and started off. He had not proceeded far along the road before the affrighted animal overthrew the gig, which is terribly shattered, and one of the unfor tunate passengers was thrown w.th such violence to the ground that he was killed on the spot. His companion also has received some very severe injuries, and was bleeding profusely when the messenger was dispatched for surgical assistance.

JUNE 19, 1846. REFUGE FOR PRISONERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—l again address you on the subject which is of paramount importance to the whole community, and which I am happy now to state has produced most gra-. tifying encouragement in the course I am pursuing to obtain an effective remedy to arrest the increasing and direful misery of nearly 50,000 unfortunate and un friended fellow-beings, who are annually ejected from our prisons. With a most influential committee, the cause has hitherto been completely successful—the people as well as all the corporations have been awakened to the cause of humanity, and are impressing upon the Legislature by petitions the urgent necessity of a remedy. The Duke of Richmond, the Marquis of Westminster, the Bishop of London, with many other noblemen and warm advocates in both Houses, deserve the thanks of the country at large for their noble and unceasing efforts to obtain permanent shelter and employment for so many misguided creatures. The object of all punishment is prevention, and when atonement has been made to the offended laws of the country, to pursue the poor outcast further is ill befitting a Christian country or people. I will not interfere with the difference of opinion in the treatment of the penal convict; my object is to prevent him arriving at so degraded a posi tion, from which nothing offers at present to rescue him. It is gratifying to see the short sighted prejudices fast diappearing, to see what public opinion is now doing for those often misguided creatures, and to hear the Duke of Wellington state that Government mean now to grapple with the subject and grant a remedy. Thus have we gained the first step in that noble struc ture that will save and reinstate so many thousands who will live to bless the exertions of those kind and bene volent benefactors who have stretched out a hand to save them. A bright day is beginning to dawn upon these poor outcasts, and I still call upon all to aid and assist in the glorious woric, and to the whiled with short of an effective and permanent remedy by the Legislature, who rule for the public good, and who will yield to public opinion. My humble efforts have thus far been successful, and I hail with pleasure the progress of this most merciful cause, which must eventually triumph, and still further exalt us as a nation and people in the scale of humanity. I am, sir, your obedient servant, JOHN LAURIE, Sheriff, &c. 1, Hyde Park-place, June 18, 1846. PRICE SD.

For this 1 urpose you will direct your attention particularly to the towns of Leeds, Man chester, Bradford, Derby, and other towns already pos sessing Local Acts for the prevention of smoke. If in any of these towns you find the Acts inoperative, you will ascertain the causes which have made them so ; and in others you will inquire as to the manner in which they have been carried into execution. You will be so good as to direct your especial at. tention to ironworks, distilleries, potteries, sugar re fineries, and other works, which, in the last session, claimed exemption from the Bill then before Parlia ment, and to ascertain whether these claims are well founded. In doing so you will have to visit Newcastle, Swansea, Merthyr, Stoke, and other places, where ob jections have been chiefly made to the extension of the provisions contained in the local Acts referred to. I am, Lc. (Signed) LINCOLN. Sir Henry T, De la*Beche. &c., TO THE RIGHT HON. VISCOUNT CANNING, &C. Museum of Economic Geology, March 30. 1846. My Lord,—We have the honour to state, that in con formity with the instructions contained in the letter of the Earl of Lincoln, dated the 27'h of August, 1845, we have devoted our attention to the moans of obviating the evils arising from the smoke occasioned by factories and other works situated in •large towns, as therein directed, and that we have visited certain of these towns for the purpose of correctly ascertaining on the spot various facts connected with the subject. In all the towns referred to complaints were made of the absence of power to inflict a small fine upon the stoki.r for carelessness in managing any smoke con suming apparatus, or even in stoking ordinary fires. Upon this point the opinion is universally expressed, that all Acts will be inoperative unless the stoker also, as well as the master, be made an interested party in seeing to the due execution of the Act. The practical manner in which the Acts have been followed out is to proceed gradually, selecting several of the most smoky manufactories, in the first instance, and giving them the proper notice to mitigate the nuisance within a fixed time. The smoke inspector, after this prescribed time, proceeds to examine the chimney at stated periods. In the execution of this duty various methods are em ployed; perhaps that used in Manchester is the most practical, and it has without difficulty been accepted as evidence before the magistrates. It consists in shading on a form the number of minutes during every hour that a chimney continues to emit smoke. Better modes of collecting evidence might easily be suggested under a general Act. The general results of our inquiries as to the execu tion of the smoke clauses in the local Acts is, that they have proved unsuccessful. 1. From legal difficulties in procuring a conviction under the present ambiguous wording of the smoke clauses. 2. From inefficient supervision, and want of com pulsory powers to make the execution of the Act im perative. 3. From the want of adjustment in the amount of pe nalties, which in some cases are so small as to be prac tically useless ; and in others so large, and accompanied with so much expense in obtaining the conviction, as also to be inefficient. • Lord Lincoln's letter does not authorise us to make any recommendation as to legislative enactments ; but it may be proper to mention that in every lo cality statements were made to us that the only mode of obtaining an abatement of the nuisance was by summary conviction before a magistrate, the penalty being exacted once for any part of a day during which a chimney continues to smoke. At the same time it must be observed, that when we consider the magnitude of the interests affected, the expense at tending alterations, whoa the cause of the evil is con nected with deficient boiler room or inefficiency of draught, it is necessary that there should be provision made to insure the parties against undue application of powers generally intrusted. Tour Lordship will doubt less consider whether, in such instances, it would be ad visable to cause the expensive process of an appeal to a higher Court to be the only means of redressing such grievance, or whether the same principle might not be applied as that contained in the Health of Towns Bill, to enable the Government, on application to that effect, to institute inquiry by a properly qualified officer, as to Deftly- tried tfro nary means for abating the nuisance, and whether further time should not be granted for continued experi• ments. It cannot for a moment be questioned that the con tinued emission of smoke is an unnecessary consequence of the combustion of fuel, and that as an abstract state ment, it can be dispensed with. But your Lordship will perceive that there are grave difficulties connected with a general law to the effect that it shall be unlawful for chimneys, after a certain date, to emit smoke. With regard to steam engines, the processes for the prevention of smoke have been matured, and in very many instances successfully employed. In this case, therefore, a law to that effect could be most easily and promptly carried out. In other cases mentioned in Lord Lincoln's letter, such as distilleries, dye-works, &c., the Legislature has already granted powers in the Manchester Local Act ; and as there are ce r tai n i ns t ances in which processes for th e pr even ti on o f emo k e h ave with them proved successful, it may be anticipated that the nuisance arising from these sources may be much abated, if they be subjected to the general law with that forbearance and caution which, under certain cases, is so advisable. There are certain processes in glass-works, iron -furnaces, and potteries, in which it is neither pos sible nor desirable to apply a general law for the pre vention of smoke ; although the nuisance may be par tially mitigated by causing the steam-engines employed in them to be so constructed as not to emit smoke. The emission of that which is improperly termed smoke from certain manufactories, such as the copper works of Swansea, is another question, and involves very different consideration from the prevention of smoke from fuel. It is useless to expect, in the present state of our knowledge, that any law can be practically applied to the fire-places of common houses, which in a large town like London contribute very materially to the pollution of the atmosphere; but it may confidently be expected, that by a wise administration of a legislative enactment, carefully framed, a great progressive diminution of the smoke of large manufacturing towns will be effected, and that the most happy results will thus flow from this improvement, in the increased health and moral feeling of their population, the intimate connexion of which with facilities for cleanliness has been so often pointed out. In submitting to your Lordship the foregoing state ment, we are desirous of observing, that, though we have endeavoured to execute the task with which we have been charged to the best of our abilities, yet that pos sibly our opinon may not be considered so conclusive as might be desired. Should this be the case, we are anxious again to call the attention of your Lordship to the very great difficulty of the subject, a difficulty felt by all who have carefully approached it, and one which we have found increase and not diminish during our inquiries. Such as the statement is, we trust that it may be accepted as the results of our best efforts to meet a very complicated subject ; one requiring very careful legislative enactments, should it be deemed ad visable to provide for it in that manner. We have, &c. (Signed) H. T. De LA BECHE. LYON PLAYFAIR.

I t i s a flattering testimont fa) popularity of that poem, that since its publication txa the present day, it has continued to furnish to art some , of its happiest subjects, and to the stage its most favourite and gorgeous spectacles. More than twenty years ago it was the subject of an exhibition memor- - able in the annals of court pageants. On the occasicsa of a state visit paid to the court of Berlin, in the yew 1822, by the Grand Duke Nicholas and the Grand, Duchess, am ong t h e f est i v i t i es prepared to welcome them, was a grand divertissement, founded upon the poem of "Lalla Rookh," and got up with all the taste and !Tien- - dour which so princely an occasion demanded. The Grand Duke acted Feramorz, while to his duchess fell, of course, the part of the heroine, Lalla, Rookh. The various groups that under the titles of Dames de . Cashemire, Dames de Bucharie, &c., attended the Grand Duchess, and among these attendants are found names of the Duchess of Cumberland, the Princess Louisa Radziville, the Princess Alexandrine, &c. The splendid volume containing the account of this royal pageant was published at Berlin in the year 1822, and contains twenty-three coloured engravings of the most remarkable costumes worn on the occasion. The different scenes and events of the poem were represented in the tableaux vivans, and the effect of all was heightened by appropriate and touching music. "Ls Romantique," says the editor of the Berlin account, "que refine dans ce trecit, tel que nous le lisons dans l'original Anglois, acquit un nouveau degri de vie, d'expression, et de vivacit, par la musique et la panto- mime de,,cette representation iltrale." THE SWINDLER "J. H. WYND- HAM." WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.—It has just been ascertained, from a letter which Mr. Dotesio, of the Royal Hotel,- Slough, has received from Inverness, and, by compar ing the writing of a dishonoured cheque inclosed, with the cheques drawn by "J. LI. Wyndham;" at Windsor and Slough, that the same party was at Inverness in October last, and also about the same time at Edin burgh and Glasgow, where he successfully victimised several hotel-keepers north o' th e T weed, under the name of " Jamieson Williams." Th e f ollowing is a copy of the letter, and its inch:sum forwarded to /Sir. Dotesio Caledonian Hotel, Inverness, June 13, 1846. " Sir,—l have seen in the newspapers an account of a swindle' practised on you. In October last, a person answering the decription given of your customer came to the Union Hotel here, which I also keep, and lived in it about eight days. I was foolish enough to take a cheque in payment of his bill, and give him the difference; which cheque proved to be utterly worthless, and I soon discovered that he did' for several other hotel-keepers in Edinburgh and Glasgow, in the same way. Scotland having become rather hot for him, I should not be surprised if he is the person who has lately favoured you with his patronage. As it may be of consequence to prove a number of cases against him, in the event of his being taken, I enclose the cheque to which I refer, that the handwriting may be compared, and will be obliged by your returning it when you have done so. If it turns out that he is the same person, I can furnish the names of other parties whom he has swindled. " I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) " JOHN GRANT. The cheque referred to in the above letter, which is not drawn upon a printed form, is clearly in the hand writing (without any apparent attempt at disguise) of the same party who committed the frauds upon the re spectable tradesmen in this vicinity. It is to the fol lowing effect:— " Yarmouth Bank, London, Oct. 21, 1845. " Messrs. Glyn, Halifax, and Co., Bankers, London. " Pay Mr. Grant, or bearer, the sum of ten pounds. " 10/. JAMIESON WILLIAMS." Upon it being presented by Messrs. Barclay and Co., to Messrs. Glyn sad Co., it was returned to Inverness unpaid, the drawer being wholly unknown to the London bankers. A letter, signed by " Mr. Wyndham," posted in London, and dated June 3, was received by Mr. Do tesion, a few days after he left Slough, in which the writer stated that if Mr. Dotesio would not take any proceedings against him, be would return part of the money he had received on account of the dishonoured cheque of 10/. ; and requesting that an answer might be returned through the medium of an advertiement in the Times newspaper. Mr. Dotesio, who, it may be ob served, had no faith in the promise of a man who ren dered himself liable (if caught) to be severely punished, and who has expressed his determination to enter into no sort of compromise with the swindler, but to let the law take its full course, took no notice of the letter. By last Monday's post another letter was received, bearing the Liverpool post mark, of which the following is a copy : " Liverpool, June 12. " I have written you, to which you have given no reply. I now offer to pay you in full for the amount of your account on your letting me hear from you. (Signer)) "J. H. WYNDHAM." Rohl_ and Wl,arlsnr bankers, have given Mr. Yarrow, tailor, of Eton, credit for the cheque he received from Mr. Wyndham for a " wedding suit' on the day of his departure from Slough for Lon don by the Great Western Railway. DEATH OF LADY JANE MITIRREAD.—This venerable lady expired on Sunday last, at the advanced age of 81 years. Ilex Ladyship was only sarviving daughter of John third duke of Atbo and, consequently, great aunt of the present Duke, and Viscountess Strathallan. The deceased was born Dec. 2, 1764, and married Aug, 1785, Mr. John Grosset Muirhead, who died exactly ten years since. FATAL ACCIDENT OFF CREMORNE GARDENS.-A most melancholy accident happened off the Cremorne Gardens at Chelsea, by which a boy has lost his life, and others very narrowly escaped. The deceased, whose name was Greaves, lived with his parents in the Commercial road, Chelsea, and was sent to school at his usual time. Instead of going there, he went with some others to Cremorne Gardens, and on the edge of the river they commenced " larking," during which the deceased was pushed into the ricer. Assistance was rendered, but too late to restore life. . . BEER TRADE.—Wednesday the Beer Trade Protection Society took their eleventh annual steam excursion. The company. consisting of a number of families, with provisions open the plc-nie plan, went on board the Star, which cleared out from Adelaide-wharf at ten minutes to nine. The vessel carried upwards of 400 persona. At Blackwell she took on board about 50 more passengers, and dashed on for Gravesend, where she landed those who did not wish to go further, and then steamed on to Southend. The company, at South end pier, went on shore, and were allowed three or four hours to re fresh themselves at the Royal Hotel and other houses on the hill above the beach. After such recreation and their walk upon the pier, they returned to the vessel, and on the way back called at Gravezend for those they left in the morning. It was past ten at night when the Star reached London-bridge. Music and dancing in creased the pleasure experienced by the party. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIA.- mrNT.—Wednesday, between the hours of five and six, an elderly man, in the employ of Messrs. Grisell and Peto, was engaged at the New Houses of Parliament, hoisting a block of stone to the top of one of the towers, by means of a travelling crane. The poor fellow was in the act of turning the handle of the traveller, when by some accident the same slipped off, and the unfortunate man losing his equilibrium, fell to the ground a distance of upwards of 50 feet. Some of his fellow-labourers immediately went to his assistance, but he appeared quite insensible. He was, therefore, removed to Westmin ster Hospital, where he was attended to by the house -surgeon• bet the injuries be had received were of such a dreadful distracter that he died shortly after his admission. h of ou thr rs ee of sep l a O ra a t n e d fir l e l i were received at the engine stations.

FATAL ByGiLisTIC ENCOUNTER.—A prize fight came Off at Southampton on Friday evening, and terminated in the death of one of the combatants on the following evening. The fight origi nated in a low beer-shop, the resort of the worst class of "navvies," and the deceased was the challenging party. The amount of the stakes was about 305., and it is said the surviving combatant was unwillingly forced into an acceptance of the challenge by certain personages, some of whom have figured as principals in the prize ring, and by whom the money was .subscribed for this fatal encoun ter. The fight took place a mile or two from the town, on the oppo site side of the River Itchen ; and after a combat, which lasted up wards of an hour and a half, the deceased fell heavily, and became senseless. He was removed to his lodgings in the town, where he died on daturday. Deceased, whose mane is Travers, was awfully bruised about the face and body, and was in a dreadful state. A jury was empanelled before the borough coroner, Mr. Cosewell, on Monday, when the medical gentleman who had attended him wax examined, and the inquiry was adjourned until Wednesday. the medical man being ordered in the mean time to make a post morteni examination of the body.

MURDER IN LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—A coroner's inquest was held to-day on view of the body of Catherine Wignall, a young woman about twenty-five years of age, who was murdered on Monday night last, in Gore-street, Toxteth park, in this town, by her husband, Richard Wignall. The husband, who is a joiner, is about twenty-seven years of age, and bears a bad character in the neighbourhood for drunken ness and licentious habits. The death of the woman was al most instantaneous, and was perpetrated under cicumstances which led the coroner to state to the jury, that a more re volting case had never come before him. The whole of the particulars will be found fully detailed in the evidence which we subjoin : Charles Lear was the first witness called. Ile said—l am a labourer, and live in Bolds-place, Gore-street, Tox teth-park. I knew the deceased very well by sight, and the prisoner also. On Monday evening last, about eight o'clock, I was sitting on some steps smoking my pipe close to where the prisoner lived, when I saw him throw a pint mug into the street. I saw the de ceased make an attempt to come to the door, when the prisoner pushed her back and shut the door, and directly after I heard a rustling inside, and some words pass as if they were quarrelling. In about five minutes after the prisoner opened the door, and I saw the deceased in the act of getting up from the floor. She was on her knees. The prisoner had a stick in his hand, and while she was rising he turned round and struck her with it some where about the head. The stick he had in his hand was similar to the piece of wood now produced, but I cannot say that it is the same with which he struck her. The deceased fell down from the effects of the blow, and while down he kicked her thrice about the ribs. After he had kicked her he came out of the house and threw his cap up and said, " This is the way to do business, I don't care for never a man that walks Gore-street." He then went into the house of his father close by. A woman went in to the deceased and lifted her up. She was unable to stand. I saw some blood about her face, but a crowd collected, and I went away. In a few minutes after I heard she was dead, but I did not go to see her. This is all I know about it. The de ceased was the wife of the prisoner. They did not live agreeably together. She was a very sober woman. Five minutes elapsed between the prisoner striking her and giving her the last kick. After he kicked her I went for a police officer. Mary Morton—l am the wife of Richard Morton, and live at No. 58, Gore-street. I knew the deceased; her name was Catherine Wignall. We live opposite to the prisoner's cellar. A little before eight o'clock on Monday night last I heard the deceased scream out, "Oh ! you are going to kill me." I then went out and into their cellar, and found the deceased sitting at the foot of the bed, and the prisoner striking her in the face with his fists. He struck her several times. While she was in the _act. of, 111) 4'0,111 the jed he kicked her several times in the aae got up, anwent and st ood between them, when the prisoner took up a stool (the one now produced), which was close to his feet, and struck her twice on the back of the head with it, and the third blow he made he struck me. The deceased did not fall, but went and sat down on a chair, and the prisoner then went and struck her on the neck with his fist, and she fell across the bed, and he then kicked her with his foot three times on the head. I came ( ut, and soon after the prisoner came into the street, and threw his cap up, and dared any one to take him up. I went into the cellar, and found the deceased lying on the bed, quite intensible, and Llood flowing from a cut on the back of her head. She never spoke, and died almost di rectly. I gave the alarm, and a surgeon was sent for, but it was of no use. The prisoner was in liquor, but the deceased was quite sob-r. Tne prisoner had nothing in his hand when I went into the cellar. Frances Irvine—l am the wife of William Irvine, and live in a cellar under No. 54, Gore-street. I knew the deceased and the prisoner. Between 7 and 8 o'clock on the Monday evening I heard a noise, and went out to see what was the matter, and on looking into the cellar occupied by the pri soner I saw him draw his hand and strike towards the bed several times, and heard the deceased scream, but could not see her. I heard her, say, " I am not a w--. I'll never give in to be called a w—." The last witness then went into the cellar and saw the deceased, the prisoner, and her standing upon the floor. Mrs. Morton was between them. I saw the prisoner with the stool, now produced, in his hand, striking the deceased over Mrs. Morton's shoulder. He struck twice, but I cannot say whereabouts he struck her. The prisoner then shut the door, and soon after ho opened it and threw a jug into the street, and then closed the door again. Some women went and opened the door, and I saw the deceased lying on the floor and the prisoner striking her. I saw him give two kicks, but I cannot say where he kicked her. I remained on my own steps, and saw the prisoner come out into tie street, and directly after I heard the de ceased was dead, but did not see her until yesterday. Mary M‘Ghee—l am the wife of John M'Ghee, and live at No. 43, Gore-street. About eight o'clock on Monday evening last I was in the street, when I heard a call of " Murder," proceeding from the cellar where the deceased lived. I went to the cellar to see what was the matter, and found the door partly open and the prisoner and the deceased standing up. I saw him raise his fist and strike the deceased in the face and then push her, and she fell down, and while down he kicked her about the head once, that I saw. I then went away, Soon after the prisoner came out and went away, and I then went into the cellar and found the deceased dead. Samuel Maddocks—l am an inspector of police. On Mon day evening last I heard of the occurrence in question, and went to the cellar occupied by the prisoner, and found the de ceased dead. He was in the cellar, and I-took him into custody. He was under the influence of liquor. I found the stool now produced in the front cellar, and the piece of wood in the back cellar. The prisoner told me, when I took him into custody, that the quarrel took place about some panes of glass which he bad not put into the cellar opposite. Mr. John Cameron—l am a surgeon. I was called to see the deceased on Monday night, and found her quite dead. The face was much swollen, and exhibited marks of bruises over the forehead, cheeks, and nose. There was a severe bruise, with a slight laceration of the skin over the right temple, also an irregularly lacerated wound on the upper and back part of the head, about an inch and a half in ex tent. There were bruises, also, in different parts of the body. These injuries were not sufficient to account for death, but must have been the result of external vklence. I have since made a port mortem examination of the body. On removing the scalp I found blood effused underneath the skin, in different parts, corresponding to the external injuries. On opeling the head I found ex ternal effusion of blood at the base of the brain, extending downwards into the spiral column, and upwards to the outer surface of both hemispheres of the brain, which was the cause of death, and the result of external violence. Every other organ of the body was perfectly healthy. William Erlis—l am a joiner, and live at No. 22, Upper Harrington. On Monday evening last I was sitting at my own door when I heard a cry of " Murder," but took no notice. as ours is a very disturbed neighbourhood, and soon after my daughter told me that the prisoner had killed his wife. I went to the cellar, and found the deceased on the bed in sensible, and she died in about seven minutes after. The prisoner attempted to make his escape, but I assisted in pre venting him. I was there when the surgeon came in and pronounced her dead. This closed the evidence. _ _ The prisoner stated in his defence that he was quite drunk at the time of the occurrence, and that he bad no recollec tion of what had taken place. The deceased, he said, was i n the habit of drinking as well as himself. The CORONER, in charging the jury, said it was the most revolting case of which he had ever heard, and that there was no doubt the violence had been committed by the prisoner. The jury, without a moment's hesitation, returned a ver dict of " Wilful Murder," and the prisoner was committed to Kirkdale Gaol, to abide his trial at the ensuing assizes. On Thursday morning last, about eight o'clock, a man named Smith, from Belfast, was killed on the railway near Harring ton, by a splinter from a stone which he and others were in the act of blasting. The misfortune was purely accidental amino blame can be attached to any one. — Cumberland acquet.
