FRANCE. The Univers has the following on the violation of the Sabbath and the religious fete days, with the ap parent sanction of the Government, after an official notification that they should be respected by every branch of the public administration. It says— " We recur with regret to a grave matter which we have already spoken of. In spite of the circulars of the. Ministers of the Interior and of Public Works, the administration continues to violate the repose of the Sabbath. Workmen were busy on Easter Sun day as on other Sundays. One of our readers points oat to us works executed at the angles of the Place du Pantheon, and which certainly were not of an urgent character; another person informs us that workmen were also employed in the Rue Castiglione. By the official circulars, the Government has itself de clared that such facts are deplorable, and yet they are constantly renewed. Whence comes it to pass that there is such a difference beteen the words and the acts? We entertain no doubt of the sincerity of the Govern ment; in ordering that the works executed at the ex pense of the state, of the departments, and of the com munes should be suspended on the Sunday, it expressed a well-considered and absolute intention. It is conse quently the inferior agents who are guilty of this scandal, and who treat with mockery alike the orders of the Government and the laws of the church. We do not want to seek at present who are those agents, for we wish to avoid all personal accusation; but we must again express a hope that the Government will get itself obeyed: We find in the Pays and the Assemblie Nationale articles against the revolutionary league which has been got up in the United States by M. Kindel and other German democratic Socialists. The Pays has the following on this subject : " We neither fear this ridiculous government, organized on the other side the Atlantic, nor its armies, nor its finances. Society at present has need ofipeace and secu rity; the late events accomplished in France have shown that this want is felt as deeply and as energetically amongst the workmen and the peasants as amongst the higher classes; it will not allow itself to be led away by any of those preachers of war and disturbance who wish to throw the world into fresh convulsions. But if the revolutionary government has not in our eyes any principle of force and success, it is not the less true that it is about to get up ag it a tion, and prevent the restora tion of calm in that Europe which has been so sadly disturbed during the last fifty years. These attempts, which are almost always followed by defeat, will have for result to arm European Governments with greater severities. Cannot the incorrigible promoters of perma nent r evolation see that every effort of demagogy is fatal to liberty, and in rendering the right of a legal govern ment to defend itself more and more legitimate, it ne cessarily impels it to rigours which no man of sense could reasonably reproach it for? In conclusion, we may ask ourselves whether the revolutionary govern ment has a possibility of forming itself as it pro poses. Between a project and the execution of it there is a considerable distance. Will the Govern ment of the United States permit the establishment of an organized power, having at its disposal resources and soldiers which might threaten the repose and the ex istence of the European Governments? We think not. Some months since the Congress at Washington re sounded with very violent words; some speakers pro claimed the duty of the American Union to occupy itself with the internal affairs of Europe, and impelled it to thuslviolate the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other states. These imprudent re marks, it is true, found no echo; but can it be believed that, if the Government of the United States tolerates the definitive constitution of the Revolutionary League, it will not expose itself to the energetic remonstrances of the European powers? We submit this question to the eminent men who now direct the affairs of North America." The following letter, dated Clamecy, 4th inst., and addressed by General Canrobert to the President of the Republic, is published by the Constitutionnel : " Monseigneur—l have the honour to render you an account of my mission in the arrondissement of Clamecy. All that I have read, all that I had ,heard, of the ra vages of socialism in this country was far below the truth; lam here in the very heart of demagogy. The evil - is immense, the wounds are deep, and still bleeding. Let the incredulous come into the Ni4fre, let them see what this department was before the 2d December, and what it now is; let them examine the minutes of the pro ceedings against 579 inhabitants of Clamecy, condemned either by court-martial or by the departmental commis sion, and however resolved they may be to close their eyes to the truth, they will be compelled to open them and avow that the great act of the 2d December saved society. In spite of my wish, Monseigneur, to fulfil your intentions of showing extensive clemency, it has been impossible for me to do ao to more than 52 persons, and many of those only had their punishments lightened. In visiting the prisons of the town I found 42 individuals on whose cases the mixed commissions had not yet de cided. I pronounced their fate by making them all feel the effects of your mercy.—l am, with deep respect, Monseigneur, your bumble and devoted servant, (Signed) ' 4 CANROBERT." ITALY. " We extract the following from a letter dated Genoa, 10th inst : "The departure of the Prince of Canino from Civita Vecchia was quite as extraordinary as his arrival. He embarked, dressed as a common seaman, on board the commercial steamer Industry, bound for Marseilies, via Beath. Tee French Government had forbidden the Prieca to proceed to Rome, lest the anar chists should profit; or his presence to disturb public tranquility, but it afforded him every facility for the adjastinent of his family M. de St. Sauveur had arrived from France with dispatches on the subject a week before. On the landing of the Prince, M. de 14 Tour d'Auvergee bad come from Rome to Civics Vecchia to take his orders, and returned to Rome, from whence M. de Rayneval sent him to Perugia, where the Princess of Canino had retired. On his return, M. de la Tour d'Auvergne proceeded a second time to Civita Vecchia. Thns, the French authorities did everything in their power to enable the Prince to settle his domestic affairs; Aild it is now obvious, even to the Italians them selves, that M. Charles Bonaparte was not en trusted with any political mission. A letter written by a clergyman, who appears robe attached to the Princess of amino, and published in a Piedmontese religious journal, dieplisins the nature of the business which brought him to Oidta Vecchis. The Prince owes an American 43,600 scudi (10,0001.), which he wished to repay him, and for tbd4 purpose he intended to sell his z )ological cabinet and iiiikkfillery of paintings. The family refusing its co nsen t , dle Prince applied to the French Government fur leave t9Aqpeeeil to Italy, which was granted to him on condi- tw — that he should stop at Civita Vecchia. Though his wife left Rome for Perugia, on hearing of his arrival, it was not to avoid a settlement, but merely to bring away her younger son, whom her husband wished to take with him to France. The eldest son, who is of age, 'ruined at Rome. The two daughters, who are mar ried, visited their father, and one of them, the Countess Campella, lately passed through Genoa with her hus *Lad." RIOT ATBARRI - No TON COLLIERY. Al di sturhaUce, attended with serious personal in jury, though with no loss of life, occurred on Tuesday last, at Barrington Colliaerey, near Bedlington. Messrs. Longbridge and nie Co.I workrth b e owners of Barrington Colliery. The monthly agreements, Month's erminated by a notice on either side. About six weeks agothey T received notice of a reduction in their wages. the new price :; i ' e i r te of the h are e pits at this colliery, burl inmen o bad hitherto been paid a uniform is' per ton ; bu r, as t he seam varies considerably in elabl - y in t hickness in different places, so that therel is much greater ditlicu , ty in hewing a ton of coals in one Bart of it than in another, the owners resolved to make a corresdonding variation hi the scale of prices. they according l y g ive notice that in tuturetber there would be lour price*--namely, 15.21, is. 31,13. 41 , and 14. 6d. per con , according to toe thickne s s o f the . seam. Tois, t hough a more equitable inlde of regulating wages, amounted, i t seems, to a reduction in the aggre gate, which, it is said, would amount to about is. per week in the average wages of the men in one pit. In the other pit no reduction of prices has taken place, though it was contemplated. After the month bad expired the men remained in their huuseg, but refused to work at the reduced rate. In consequence of this, the owners, being determined to carry the new regulati.ms into effect, ordered the men to leave their houses and make way for others who were willing to accept the terms. Qa the men refusing to leave the two policemen stationed at Bedlington, Drummond and Graham, got sr4cla assistance as they could procure, and attempted to eject them. 'this attempt W,13 the signal for a de termined resistance on tne part of the men generally. They assembled to the number of from 2,00 to 300 men, several of them being from other collieries. hinny had provided themselves with sticks, and se veral blows were inflicted, the policemen and their party defending themselves as well as they could. Two men from Newcastle were severely wounded on the head and in other parts of the b o dy. Andrew Gra ham, policeman, Mark White, constable, and Michael Barkas, a weigher at the pit, were also more or less injured. Some of the houses occupied by the "black legs," as they are called (that is, the men who agreed to th e change), were much injured, the windows and doors being smashed to pieces. Ooe had to jump through a window at the fron t of his house, to esca p e theT d 'viol ence of the crowd. At length it was quer n e prudent to desist until further assistance could be obtainedobtained, A special train came to this town _T . welve of the bormgcuel". of a body of policemen. but l:4lee were directed to give their assist ance,l4nt, u„ decli ned to go unless a larger number was endangered.

The number of men employed at Barrington Colliery is about 200. Many of them, it appears are willing to work at the terms which have be en- offered, but they are overawed by the others, who are more numerous and more determined. It appears that the reduction of wages is not confined to Barrington. It has already taken place at Seghill, Cramlington, and that district, and it is now going on at Sleekburn and Cowpen. Several have had bills of indictment preferred against them, but will not be tried till the next sessions.—New castle Courat. PRICES ( ~ SHARES IN BANKS, A SSURANCE, AND OTHER COM , PANIES' STOCK.

The Court sat to-day to take bail oases. Joseph Gale and John Weygood were indicted for having assaulted Henry Spicer, a broker, in the exe cution of his duty. Mr. Trevethan Spicer appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Sleigh for the defendants. It appeared from the statement of the Learned Counsel, in opening the case, that the defendant Gale had for the last three years occupied a house in Newland•street, Pimlico, but during the whole of that period he had not in any way concerned himself about the payment of rent, and in addition to his neglect in that respect he was a troublesome tenant, and suffered the house to fall into a dilapidated con dition. The landlord naturally became anxious to get rid of him, and, by way of inducing him to quit the house, actually offered to forego all claim for the rent in arrear, and to present him with 101., bat Mr. Gale was not inclined to give up possession of a tene ment in which he had resided on terms so very advan tageous to himself on those conditions, and demanded 501. as a compensation for giving up his rent-free occupation. Easy and indulgent as the landlord had been, his good nature was proof against so extravagant a proposition, and he determined at length to got rid of him; and the prosecutor of this indictment, being a broker and appraiser, was employed to distrain fur the rent due, and on the 28th of February he made an entry on the premises, under a warrant duly signed by the landlord; but Mr. Gale, not liking such an intrusion on his rights, very unceremoniously put him into the street. The prosecutor vigilantly watched for a better opportunity to levy, and on the 2d of March, think ing one presented itself, he again got into the house, but he found Mr. Gale as resolutely determined as ever to resist him in effecting the distraint. He took up an axe and aimed a blow at the prosecutor's head with it, but fortunately it missed him, though he did receive a blow on the face, which was the assault complained of in this indictment. Ttie other de fendant was concerned in the transaction. In the course of the examination of the witnesses allusion was made to the warrant, when Mr. SLEIGH required the production of that docu ment to show that the prosecutor had a legal autho rity to enter the house. It was stated that the warrant was in the possession of the person by whom the prosecutor was employed and he was not in attendance. The ASSISTANT JUDGE said the absence of t e warrant was fatal to the case, and under the direc tion of the Court, the jury would acquit the de fendants. The jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty John - Henry Croyden, a waiter in the refreshment rooms of the House of Commons, was indicted for an assault on Mary Neale. Mr. Birnie prosecuted ; Mr. Ballantine appeared for the defendant. The prosecutrix was an elderly widow, living in Thom's-court, Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, and it appeared she was acquainted with the defendant's wife, from the fact of her having kept company with a son of her's before her marriage to the defendant. They were on visiting terms, although the defendant was very averse to the acquaintance being continued intimately, and on the day mentioned, the Bth inst., she and her daughter accompanied Mrs. Croyden to Ebury-street, Pimlico, where she resides, Mrs. Croy den having that afternoon called, and taken tea with her. According to the evidence of the prosecutrix, as she left the defendant's house, be followed her out, and on getting to the corner of the street gave her a blow on the left eye, and another on the lower part of that side of her face, the result of which was that she fell and broke one of her arms on the kerbstone. The other was injured, and she had a dreadful black eye. She could assign no reason for the defendant's conduct except that she had called his wife " Mary Ann" instead of Mrs. Croyden. Mr. BALLANTINF, in his cross-examination of the prosecutrix, endeavoured to show that she was ad dicted to gin drinking, and that she was in the habit of inducing Mrs. Croyden to indulge in the same pro pensity. She did not admit the whole of this, but said she drank gin sometimes, and on the day in ques tion they had a shilling's worth of gin and sixpenny worth of brandy and water, but that was because Mrs. Croyden was going to be churched at St. Bar nabas, Pimlico, having been recently confined. She admitted that she had once been charged with break ing a woman's jaw, but that was compromised. She positively denied having " clawed" the defendant be fore he struck her. In addressing the jury, the Learned Counsel said the defence was that the injuries the prosecutrix had sustained were the result of accident, brought about by her own intemperance and violent conduct. The defendant had merely pushed her, when she fell, and unfortunately received the injuries described. The defendant objected to a person who was an habitual gin drinker, and who induced his wife to join her in the g ratification of that propensity, b e i ng i n hi s h ouse at all, and on this occasion he had requested her to leave, when she used the most sca n d a l ous l anguage , and scratched his face ; and when in the street be might have given her a push, but that was all. She had no friendly feeling towards him, because he had married the woman she had wished to be the wife of her own son. Witnesses were examined to prove the facts stated by the Learned Counsel. The ASSISTANT JUDGE, ill summing up, told the Jury, th a t, even a dmitting the defendant's case , h e h a d no j ust ifi cat i on for even pushing the prosecutrix, which was a c o mmon assault, and the jury would ju ry assault.foun found say wheth er they considered he had or had not committed a commonl 3 u r the defendant Guilty.

Ferdinand Bock, a German, was brought before the Lord Mayor charged with having broken into and plundered a shop in Leadenhall-street of 92 yards of cloth, value 601., and coats and trousers, value 281. property of Mr. Heirons. The prisoner, who isa lOs.,the powerful man, was prevented from taking the goods beyond the passage leading to the premises by a delicate looking but resolute woman. Mary Ann Knight said—My husband is in the police force, and we occupy the third floor of No. 152, Leadenhall-street, of which I am housekeeper, and which is let out in offices. The ground floor is occu pied by Mr. Heirons, whose shop is separated by a partition and a door from the passage at the foot of the stairs. Last night, at a few minutes after nine o'clock, 1 came down with a light to see whether all was sa fe. When I got to the passage I heard a rust ling in the shop. I thought it was the apprentice, but seeing, the key at the foot of the stairs under the mat, I knew that could not be the case. I then tried to unlock the door with the key, but in vain. After waiting quietly about Ave minutes I saw the shop door open and the prisoner come out with as much as he could bear upon his head and shoulders. I caught hold of him in the passage, and said " Who are you?" He said, " Let me alone." I said " Let you alone in deed I Why you are a thief." He then tried to pass me with the load upon his head and shoulders, and he struggled for some time. I still kept hold of him, and he then threw the largest bundle off his shoulders. I rang the bell to make an alarm, and he then pushed me from the street door, and pulling it open, threw down the rest of the goods and made his escape. I went into the street and saw him running in the direction of the East India House, and called after him. I did not see the features of the man, as they were obscured by the bundles he was carrying, but from his size and height I believe the prisoner to be the person I encountered. The prisoner said, in German, that he never was in the house alluded to until he was taken to it in the custody of a policeman, after a robbery was said to have been comniitted in it. Henry King, coffee-house keeper, of St. Mary Axe, said :—As I was going home a little after nine last night, I saw the prisoner rush from Heiron's premi ses, and run across the road, in the direction of the East India House. Directly afterwards a female ap peared at the door of the house, and called out" Stop thief," and I followed and never lost sight of him till I gave him into the custody of a policeman. The prisoner had run all the way till he reached St. Mary Axe, where he began to walk. lam quite sure that he is the man. Mr. George Terry, of No 74, Leadenhall-street, confectioner, said :—As I was passing I heard a fe male voice, and saw a man come out of the house, and run directly across the road. Thinking that there might be others in the house", I remained at the door. From the opportunity I had of seeing the side face of the prisoners, and his general appearance, I feel per fectly satisfied that he is the man. Ten minutes afterwards I saw him brought back by the officer, and I said, "That is the man." The prisoner immediately said in English, " Oh, no." Chambers (523) —Mr. King pointed out the pri soner to me in Lime-street as a person who had just run out of a house. I touched him on the shoulder and told him what had been mentioned to me. He said " No, I have just come from Cannon-street." When I took him to the house, Mr. Terry at once identified him. At the station-house I searched, and found upon him four skeleton keys, a door key, a latch key, a knife, and some lucifer matches, which corresponded with some I found on the premises which had been plundered. A button was found in the shop corresponding with the buttons on the pri soner's coat, from which one had been, to all appear ance, recently removed. The prisoner was remanded for a few days, in order that the depositions may be completed, when be will be committed for trial. Thomas Cullen alias Collins, 60 years of age, was brought up for final examination, charged with having stolen a mantle and other articles of dress, the pro perty of Susan Hughes, of Leadenhall-street. ne T e h , e h a p d r i g s o o n e e e r, i o t h i w th a e upper P rooms, tied up the best cloth es he could . f stairs, broken open the drawers in one e s a ho p u e se rs , on de o li t b . they were handkerchief, and left the pr emises as ofveernateerlayble e p d e a U r - his own, o h prove that he had get in his Evidence was brought forward t quently convicted. a ll the oc- The prisoner—l am as innocent upon a been once transported, and that e had been fre casions that I was accused as your Lord ship is.

The sentence of the Court upon you is that you be imprisoned in Bridewell to hard labour for six weeks. The prisoner was then commiled. MARLBOROUGH STREET. William Ward was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having uttered a forged Si, bank-note to Charles Massey, tobacconist, Oxford-street. From the evidence of Mr. Massey it appeared that the prisoner came into his shop the previous night, for the purpose of backing a horse in one of the races to come off for 103., and he tendered what purported to be a 51. Bank of England note. Witness would not give change, but went out and asked some of his ne i g hbours what they thought of the note. On com paring it with genuine notes a difference was per ceptible, and witness went hack, and told the prisoner the note was a forgery. The prisoner, who could have left the shop while witness went to inquire about it, walked with witness to the station-house, when he was given into custody, The Inspector who took the charge asked the pri soner where he got the note from ; he replied " That is my business, and I have plenty more of the same notes." He gave a false address.—Remanded for a week. LillifßE7'H. Mary Ann Phillips, a middle-aged and rather re spectable -looking female, wa s placed at the bar for f u rther examination, before the H on . G. C. Norton, on a charge of attempting to pass a 51. bank-note. ' s c d l a o y ck at night, t h e pr i soner c ame to his Mr. George Butterfield, landlord of the Fountain public-house, Sc. George's-road, Southwark, deposed that as t on nine Thursday u o r last, th e B t h i nst., a t about balf p house and at,kel for a b o ttl e o f g i n, an d t e ndered in payment the note produced, which purported to be a Bank of England note. Witnese suspected it was bad, and in consFquence9 something that had been told to him, he went to Mr. Hills, the City Arms, in West square, and having satisfied himself th-it the note was bad, he told the prisoner so, and questioned her about it. She said that she was au unfortunate woman, and had been under the protection of Mr. Wilson, of the St. George's-road, for the last five months, and that she got the note from him. Mr. Wilson, the gentleman from whom the priso ner said she received the note, deposed on oath that her assertions were grossly false, and that she was a perfect stranger to him. Mr. Freeman, inspector of bank-notes at the Bank of England, said that the note produced, No. 66,405, dated the 14 . h of July, se 1 -- - 1, which purported to be a Bulk of England note, was a forgery. Tne prisoner declined offering anything in defence, and was fully committed on the offence, but Mr. Freeman applied for a further remand to a future day, when he thought it probable that ther, if not many, further cases would be proved against her. The prisoner was in consequence remanded until Thursday next. 2 homes Dalp at the bar, SOUTH TV ARK.

APRIL 1 52 1.852: bill, was in the habit of visiting his shop, and had on several occasions conducted himself in a most extra ordinary manner. The applicant then described a number of extravagances which he alleged Mr. O'Connor had committed. If Mr. Feargus O'Connor found Mrs. Dunford or her apprentices (dressmakers) engaged in their work, he would take the fabric, whether of silk, merino, or whatever it so happened to be, and tie round their heads, and a few days since he again called at the shop. Applicant and his family were about hitting down to dinner, Mr. O'Connor rushed in and went to the rear of the premises, where he conducted himself most indecently. He then re turned to the parlour and took up the hot leg of mut ton, which was in a dish upon the table, and held it in his hands, at the same time cutting off the meat and placing large slices in his mouth. Applicant's little boy was sitting at the table, and because he hap pened to look at him he threatened to cut off his head. Mr. BEADON inquired of the applicant what he re quired him to do in the matter? The applicant said he believed Mr. Feargus O'Connor not to be in his right mind, and he there fore applied to his Worship for protection. Mr. BEADON asked him bow long it was since Mr. O'Connor had so conducted himself towards Mrs. Danford and the young woman. Mr. Danford said about a month since. Mr. BEADON said the applicant should have applied earlier at that court, if he wished to adopt any pro ceedings against Mr. O'Connor. 'i'be applicant said he did not wish to have Mr. O'Connor locked up in gaol, but merely restrained from committing any violence. He had applied to the Hon. Mr. Walpole, the S.TretaTy of State, and he was referred to the Speaker of the House of Commons. Mr. BEADON observed that he believed it was ge nerally understood that Mr. O'Connor was insane. He (Mr. Beadon) was not a commissioner of lunacy, and therefore could not take upon himself the power ' of restraining that gentleman. The applicant believed that Mr. O'Connor'a in sanity had been caused by his active exertions to better the condition of the poorer classes. Mr. BEADON said it was too late to take any pro ceedinga against Mr. O'Connor for having conducted himself, as it had been stated, in the manner be had towards Mrs. Dunford; but if anything of the kind was repeated, the applicant would meet with every assistance from that court, if he would only apply at the time. The applicant thanked his Worship, and was about to withdraw, when Robert Logsden, wbo described himself as a re porter by profession, and a newsman by trade, when called upon to give evidence in a case of assault which had been disposed of previously to t he applica tion, stepped forward and said be could assure the magistrate that Mr. O'Connor would be properly looked after for the future, as there had been a com mittee formed, of which he had the honour to be a member, for the purpose of placing the u nfortunate gentleman in a proper asylum, ther e being no ques tion of his insanity. He also informed the Court that upwards of 51. had been subscribed for that pur pose, and that that was the only amount which had been collected for Mr. O'Connor' s patriotism. Mr. BEADON was glad to hear that the proper course was about to be taken in the matter, and the subject then dropped. THE MURDER IN LAMBETH. FINAL EXAMINATIONft er OF avery THheavE MURDERER. Yesterday afternoon, a y day's busi ness had been disposed of by the Hon. G. C. Norton, at the Lambeth Police Court, Thomas Cathie Wheeler, the unfortunate young man charged with the frightful murder of his mother, was brought before that ma gistrate for final examination. The prisoner on entering the court gazed round anxiously, and surveyed the crowd present, as if to observe if there were friends or acquaintances present, but not appearing to discover say, he assumed a thoughtful appearance. The unfortunate man seems a good deal altered since Saturday, and has evidently suffered from severe mental affliction. During the reading of the depositions by the chief clerk, the prisoner sighed audibly and wept bitterly, and at that part where the witnesses d escr ib e d th e state in which they bad found the body of the deceased, the appearance of the head on the table, the finding o f the carving knife and hatch e t covere d w i t h bl oo d , his features quivered, and large tears rolled down his cheeks. In the depositions of the six witnesses who had been examined on Saturday, and all of whom were now present, there was nothing fresh ; and the only additional witness examined was Mr. J. Cathie, proprietor of the Lee Arms public-house, Brownlow road, Dalston, who was brother to the deceased, and uncle to the prisoner. This witness said that he had not seen the body of the deceased, nor had he seen his sister (Elizabeth Wheeler) for a fortnight before the present unfortunate occurrence, but he was aware that she lived at No. 1, Durham-place, Ken nington-road, and had no doubt upon his mind that the body described by the former witnesses was that of the prisoner's mother. Witness was quite aware of the prisoner's insanity, and had taken him himself to Bethlehem Hospital in March, 1849 ; but nine months afterwards he was discharged, though in an uncured state, at the earnest entreaties of his mother. After three or four months, however, he was obliged to be sent to the Wandsworth Lunatic Asylum, and there he remained until the Ist of February, 1851, when, at the urgent entreaties and solicitations of his mother, he was discharged from there. Before his discharge, however, the committee of the institution remonstrated with his mother, and told her that if anything happened she would have only herself to blame, and that the act of discharge was solely her own. His mother, notwithstanding this, persisted in her entreaties, and on her signing the printed form required by Act of Parliament the prisoner was dis charged. From that time up to the present unfortu nate calamity he lived with his mother, wbo always evinced the greatest possible affection and solicitude for him. He (Mr. Cathie) was in the habit of allow ing the prisoner a certain sum weekly, and for this he came regularly to his house. Oa Tuesday week he called as usual, when his conduct was so strange that witness felt it necessary to send a message to his sis ter in reference to him, and requesting that she would du something with him. Mr. NORTON—You say there was something strange in his manner, will you be so good, Mr. Cathie, as to describe what you observed ? Mr. Cathie—Well, sir, on my leaving my house to go to the butcher's on the morning in question, I found him standing outside my door like a statue, and ad dressing him I said, "Halloo, Tom, how long have you been here ?" He replied, " Oh, not long," though I afterwards understood he had been there a consider able time. I seised him to go into the house, and he said he should presently ; but I found him in the same position when I came back from the butcher's. I again asked him to come in, and he said, "Yes, I'll now do so, but I prefer being in the sun ;" and then he went into the yard, where the sun was shining, and where he remained for a quarter of hour or twenty minutes. During this time my daughters went and spoke to him, but he did not appear to take any notice of them. I then gave him the money I wa s in the habit of allowing him, and also brought hima coat from the bar which I promised him. Having a bag under his arm, I asked him to put the coat into it, but he refused to do so. I then offered to make it up into a parcel, and took a newspaper for the purpose, but he would not allow me to do so, but said be should take it on his arm. He kept mut • tering something to himself, upon which I said, "Young man, I am sorry to see you in this state ; you wan t somebody to contr ol y ou p ro p erl y ." U p on this he became much exeited—said he was an Eng lishman, that he should fight for his rights, and allow nobody to control or oppress him. His conduct on this occasion was altogether of so extraordinary a character that I spoke to my wife on the subject, and told her I feared that something dreadful would happen. Mr. NORTON—Were you aware that the prisoner had been in the habit of carrying a knife and a pistol about him in this black bag ? Mr. Cathie—No, sir, I was not ; and if this was the case, it would account for his objection to put the coat into it. The prisoner—" Oh, no ! I carried this bag for a weight, and felt a pleasure in swinging it about by my side, like a pendulum." In conclusion, Mr. Cathie said that his sister was much too fond of and indulgent to the prisoner. The prisoner had enlisted twice before he had been first sent to Bethlehem, but was discharged, as being unfit for the army. He also made his escape from Wandsworth Lunatic Asylum, but was taken in an hour afterwards at his mother's house by the keepers, who had come in pursuit of him. The prisoner had exhibited symptoms of insanity before going abroad, one of which was, that he would leave excellent situa tions without the slightest cause. This having concluded the evidence, the prisoner was asked if be wished to put any questions to his uncle, or to say anything to the charge, and be re. p li e d, ~ Nothing." The witnesses were then bound over in the usual recognizances to appear and give evidence against the prisoner, at the ensuing session at the Central Court, on a charge of wilful murder, and the unfortunate man was fully committed and re moved from the court. In the course of the proceedings Mr. Norton read the following communication which he had received relative to the accused, from Captain Robertson, chie f constable of th e H erts constabulary : sir,--I think it right to inform you that i n n si A n t "Hertford, last Thomas Wheeler, now in custody for h e t, a I n spector Ap r il gu l, g 3 tu . ihse. death of his mother, was brought to re° M 2O having Dunn, of the liens County C two miles threatened to shoot a person in the A Wheeler was insane, from this town. lat once perceive—.

Carter, the coroner, at the White Lion Inn, Streatham, as to the death of Mrs. Mary Ann Kirby, aged forty-seven, the wife of an extensive carrier at Balham-hill, whose body had been exhumed by order of Mr. Carter, under the following singular circum stances. The jury having viewed it in the churchyard of Streatham, where it had been interred on the 19th of February, on their return to the inquest-room, the following evidence was given : James Crichton, in the service of Mr. Lote, of Bal ham, the undertaker employed, identified the body and coffin. The deceased died on the 12th, and was buried on the 19th of February, in Streatham church yard. Mrs. Sophia Fitcb, who resided in the house with the deceased and her husband, was examined at great length. The substance of her evidence was that she was present at her death. Mr. Kirby was in bed at the time, and apparently asleep. She had been in bad health from asthma for some time, but could get about until the 10th of February, when she took to her bed. They were intemperate persons, and she did not live comfortably with her husband. Oa the 10th she was sick both before and after she went to bed. The witness went on to state that a week before Mrs. Kirby died Mr. Kirby introduced a Mrs. Ann Barnes as a lodger, very much against the dee ceased's wish, who was under the impression it was done to annoy her, and she often refused to take tea and other things that Mrs. Barnes hid made for her, from, apparently, a great personal dislike. Mrs. Barnes did not appear t o have come to control deceased, and when she was ill assisted with witness, as from kind ness. Mr. 'Ward, of Balham- hill, surgeon, saw her on the evening of the 11th February, and medicine w as administered by witness and Barnes. Witness never saw the medicine tampered with, but when Mrs. Barnes was out of the room Mrs. Kirby com plained of burning beat at the chest and throat. Mrs. Barnes told Mr. Ward of it. On the morning of the 11th February deceased had l e ft h er b e d an d gone into the kitchen. Upon wit ness go i ng t o h e r s h e complained of great agony and burning thirst in her throat and ehest ; the sur f ace was very co ld. Sh e said she had been ther e s i nce t h ree or f our i n th e morning, as Mr. Kirby had ill-treated her. To the CORONER—It was tea that Mrs. Kirby would not drink on the 11th because Mrs. Barnes had brought it, but s h e h a d suppe d some o f it, an d witness threw the remainder away. On the 10th Mrs. 13rrne3 made some arrowroot, which deceased took. Nothing p ern i c i ous h a d b een found that witness knew of, and she believed the deceased had died a natural death. M rs . B arnes h a d left for some situation. Mrs. Poore, an elegantly-drosed woman, was called in, and explained that, under advice, she had directed Dr. Letheby to examine the body, and make the ne cessary analysis, but he had been out of town, and was unable to do it till the previous day. The CORONER said, his note had been sent to her last Saturday, and he was in hopes the inquiry would have been concluded that day ; as it was, he could not go on without the medical evidence. Had any in quiries been instituted ? Mrs. Poore (apparently much surprised)—Where am Ito make inquiries ? Ido not know where to find arsenic or any thing else. I thought men were employed for that purpose. My sister ought not to have been buried without an inquiry. Tho CoxoNEß—There will be one. Mrs. Poore—Yes, now. She then withdrew The CORONER said he would not infringe upon the sanctity of the grave until he had received a written certificate from Mrs. Poore that she believed the death of her sister had been caused by unfair means, and h e had understood, if the investigation had been refused by him, the Home Secretary would have been applied to. These extraordinary proceedings, which excite great interest, were then adjourned until Dr. Letheby has been able to make the analysis. ANOTHER MURDER IN NORFOLK. LYNN, APRIL 14.—This county seems determined to establish its reputation for holding a prominent po sition in the register of horrors, as the dreadful tragedy which occurred at Castle Rising, about four mites distant from Lynn, on Sunday last, has been followed in its excitement by the intelligence (just arrived here) that a murder of a gill stranger descrip tion was on the same day committed at Outwell, a village distant about ten miles from Lynn, and mid way between Wisbeach and Downham Market. It appears that on Sunday, three 1;;;, - whose names we have not learned, aged respectively 13, 9, and 7, were together in a field at some distance from the villa, where they were emp l oye d in ofcrow scaring, the eldest boy having a gun i n hi s posses sion, to fire occasionally, for the purpose of frighten ing the birds from eating th e see d w h eat. Whil e i n conversation with his tw o compan i ons t hi s b oy made allusion to somethi ng w hi c h b e h a d sa id in their presence on a former day, adding that, 4, if he knew they mentioned it to any one he would kill them." The youngest boy seems to have been frightened at this declaration, for, in tearful mood, be replied, " What shall I do, then ? I told my mother last night." Upon hearing this admission the eldest boy raised his gun to the fore head of the speaker, pulled the trigger, and by the e xplosion shattered his skull and spread his brains over the field. The gun, it is said, contained no shot, but the wadding passed completely through the head of the poor little fellow who made the imprudent con fession. Frightened at the act which he ha.dcommit ted, the murderer prevailed up on his surviving com panion to promise secrecy, and to assist him to dis• pose of the dead body, which was done by dragging it to a dry ditch, where it was carefully buried. The two boys then returned to the spot where their corn panion had been shot , an d g atherin g u p his brains and the shattered fragments of the skull, they threw them into his cap. After this they kindled a fire of turf (the field being in the fens), upon which they placed the cap which they watched until with its contents it was entirely consumed. Upon their return home inquiry arose concerning the murdered child, when the companion of the mur derer confessed to the particulars above narrated, and was with the murderer himself taken into custody. The body was found as above described, upon which an inquest will be held. It is thought possible that the boy who fired the gun did not suppose the act would prove fatal, owing to its being loaded with powder only ; but more will probably be known on this point after the inquest.
