Ile was not quite dead when they found him, but he cOuld, not speak. Frederick Walker, of NO. 20, Princes-street, Drury-lane, said that yesterday morning, at about five minutes past six o'clock, he was In a public-house in Princes-street, when the prisoner came in and asked for a pennyworth of rum, with which he was served: Wit ness asked him whether "Jem," meaning the deceased, was up yet. He said he was net, and would not be until half-past six or seven o'clock. He then went away. Martha Hazlett, a young woman, 18 or 19 years of ago, was then called. On being asked whether she knew the prisoner, she began to cry very bitterly, and it was some time before she was sufficiently recovered to give her evidence. She stated that she met the prisoner at about nine o'clock on the morning of the murder, in Chiswell sti eet, Finsbury-square. He said that he was not going to work that day. They went to a public-house and had some spirits, for which he paid. They then parted, and he appeared to be in a great hurry. . shopman in the employ of Messri.llarding, gunsmiths, of 69. GreatQueen-street,Lincoln's Inn-fields, said that onMonday orTuesday of last week the prisoner came to him with a pistol, which was out of order. It was a flint and steel pistol. Witness only oiled the spring, which was stiff, and the barrel, which was rusty. Witness charged him sixpence. He said he wanted to shoot a dog that had bit him, and shoWed a scar upon his jaw. He asked witness to give him a bullet. He had not a bullet, but he gave him two slugs. On Wednesday he came again, and said that the pistol had missed fire, but witness showed him that it was in good order. He said he had shot the dog. On Thursday he went to the shop again, and showed wit ness a percussion-cap pistol, which he said he had got in exchange for the other, and had given halt-a-crown into the bargain. Witness put the pistol in order, and gate the prisoner a few caps. He said he wanted to go shooting on Primrose-hill on Sunday. He then went away. Edward Mailers, a dealer in pawnbroker's unredeemed pledges, of 129, Drury-lane, said that in the course of last week the prisoner came several times to his shop to bargain for a pistol which he wished to buy. Finally witness gave him a percussion-cap pistol in exchange for a flint pistol, receiving half-a-crown in addition, from the prisoner. The prisoner said that lie wanted it to shoot birds with. (The witness produced the pistol, which he had received from the prisoner.) James Stowe, an oil and colourman, of 19, Great Wild-street, proved that the prisoner had bought gunpowder of him on several oecasions during the last week. He always said he wanted it to shoot birds with, and on one occasion he showed him a pistol. A policanian, who was on duty in Great Wild-street, on Saturday night, said, he was called into the house, No. 4, Pitt-place, by the deceased, who was about to give the prisoner into custody for obtaining money, and converting it t• his own use. The prisoner said he had lost it, and offered to pay half a-crown a week till the whole sum (11s.) should be paid. He also said, You can stop it out of my wages, which come to 145., but how am Ito live ? The deceased did not give him in charge, but said he would stop out of his week's wages the 118. , and 2s. 6d., which he had borrowed from him, snaking 13s. Gd. lie then gave the prisoner 6d., which made up the sum of 14s , the prisoner's wages. Policeman Pocock, F 14, and Thompson, A 62, took the prisoner In charge, at a coffee-house in Great Queen-street, Drum-1 , ..e, at itoirAnsaterei whet Pcii - • - Itte.oiliosucti - 4as dead e* L.VI 111e-qtft. was ; uuu uc siuu rogue'_o ine4, MS was brewing— for him for twelve months, and I have revenged myself • for his cruel treatment to me." He was cautioned that anything he said would be used against him, and he said no more. - Afterwards, at the station-house he said several times that the de ceased was a very bad master to him, and that he had been re venged. Once he said, " I was sorry for him when I had done it ; hut he behaved very badly to me." He afterwards said, "Oh, Po cock, what is worse than a guilty conscience ?" The prisoner, who, during the evidence of the policemen, had ap peared more serious than before, on being asked if he had any ques tion to put to the witness Pocock, said " .tio ; he gives:his evidence so sincerely that I can say nothing to him ; and the evidence is so clear against me that I must confess that I am guilty of it. I did do it ; and I only wonder I did not de it twelve months ago, his conduct to me was so cruel," • Mr. James Duncan, the house-surgeon of King's College Hospital, mid that at half-past six on Monday morning the body of Om deceased was brought to him on a stretcher. He was quite insensible. He had a wound behind the left ear, which witness had ascertained, on post mortem examination, passed through the skull. The bullet had lodged in the right side of the brain. He died at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the wound was the immediate cause of death. The depositions were then read over to the prisoner. The prisoner made a statement of the conversation between him self, the deceased, and the policeman, which differed but slightly from that of the policeman himself. He then signed the statement he had made after the evidence of the witnesses Pocock and Thomp son, which had been taken down by the clerk at the time. The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute, and the prisoner was hilly committed. This extraordinary case occupied the attention of the Court up to a quarter to six o'clock in the evening. MURDER AND SUICIDE AT CAM- BE R WELL. Shortly after seven o'clock on Monday lemming Mae neighbourhood of Southampton-place, Camberwell, was thrown into the groates t consternation by the screams of a woman, who had just made her escape, by the back door of No. 5, Wellington-place, a small cottage residence. only two stories high. The first person who repaired to the spot was Mr. Pratt, a surgeon, who resided at No. 4, and who, upen entering, was horror-struck at the scene which presented itself. In an upper room, upon the floor, lay the lifeless body of M. Dina rete Homan, a Frenchman, aged 53, with his throat cut from ear to ear ; on the bed, his son, aged 13, quite dead, shockingly mutilated About the throat; and in a lower room, another sow, aged 11, with his throat cut, a wound on the cheek, and his hand much lacerated, who was at first supposed to be dead, but afterwards showed some symptoms of life, but totally unable to articulate or give the least account of the dreadful catastrophe ; and in a short time afterwards a female child, aged eight months, was found dead in a water-butt which stood in the garden, but having no wounds whatever about its person. It ap pears that the unfortunate man had resided at No. 5 for the last twelvemonth, supporting his family as a teacher of languages. lie had been in the habit of rising about seven in the morning, and usually took down stairs with him one of the twin infants, who slept in the same bed as he and the mother. Yesterday morning, on dressing himself, he did the same thing, taking one child with him, and leaving the other in bed with the mother. In a few minutes the mother, being alarmed, by a loud shrieking, went to the room, and on opening the door was met by the younger boy, who imme diately ran down stairs bleeding, at the bottom of which he fell down apparently lifeless; and on entering the room Mrs. Ilorean saw her unfortunate husband in the act of caning his own throat, and before she could interpose he had fallen down a corpse. On looking farther, she discovered her eldest sou dead in the bed, but could not perceive any traces of her infant child, who was, however, shortly afterwards discovered to have been drowned in the water-butt. There is no doubt whatever but that the unfortunate father proceeded to the garden instantly on leaving his bedroom, and having drowned the child, then ascended to the children's room, where he afterwards perpetrated the other murders, committing suicide the moment an alarm was raised. As no vital organ has been severed, hopes are entertained that the youngest boy's life will be saved, although, of course, there is great danger that he will not survive the shock. There seems •to be little doubt but that. owing to their pri vations, temporary insanity was the immediate cause of this shocking affair, as his pecuniary embarrassments had for some weeks past induced great depression of spirits. The widow states that she believes it was her husband's intention to have murdered her, and all the children, before he destroyed himself; which he doubtless would have done, had it not been for the screams of her 8011 Philarete. Such pree..ations had h. 11.3,n, (h.,* anor-chain was found twisted that she could not open the street doer, escape, had he made an attack upon her life. She says that she has been married nearly twenty years ; that the deceased was formerly a schoolmaster at Leicester, but had of late been obtaining a scanty subsistence for his family by teaching the French and Italian lan- Saages. In the back room, first floor, were a crib bedstead, an old mattress, and scarcely any clothes to cover the children. There were neither chairs, tables, or any other article of furniture. In the adjoining room was an old mattress, on which the man and his un fortunate wife, with her twin children, slept. Tile* was no bed stead, only three old chairs and a table. The whole of the other rooms were perfectly empty. THE MURDERS AND SUICIDE AT CAMBERWELL.—• FURTIIES. PARTICULARS YESTERDAY.—The painful excitement con nected with this tragical affair continues unabated. Vast numbers of persons are assembled round the cottage, which is under charge nt Sergeant Melville, of the P division, and two other constables. The unfortunate widow continues in a stupefied condition, refusing all sustenance, but clasps to her bosom her remaining twin offspring The poor little boy who was wounded in the throat, but not so effec tually as to destroy life, is likely to recover ; he is under the care of Mr. Pratt, the surgeon, as is also the unfortunate mother. upon whom a strict watch is kept, as fears are entertainei that she will attempt suicide. The bodies of the wretched man and the two children have been placed in the parish shells to await the result of the . coroner's inquest, which is appointed to take place this morning. The twin child who was drowsed in the water-butt, is not the male but the female infant., as errone ously stated in the morning papers. It would appear that the un happy man was driven to the desperate deed by destitution, as it is well known in the neighbourhood that on Sunday the whole of the amity subsisted upon only a few potatoes and some herrings, and the interior of the house at once exhibits the most palpable proofs of ex treme distress.

To-day, at twelve o'clock, the nomination of a Member to repre sent the city of Westminster in Parliament, consequent on the resig nation of Captain Rotts,iby his appoi n t men t as one o f the Lords of the Admiralty, , took place in front of St. Paul's Church, Covent-garden. The number of . persons assembled before the hustings could not be less than 5,000. The candidates were the late Member, Captain Rous, who again.offered hhnse f, and General Sir De Lacy Evans. When these gentlemen, accompanied by their respective friends, came on the platform, the crowd, which seemed pretty equally divided in opinion as to the merits of the candidates, expressed their partialities by the most discordant noises ; and one gigue, whose begrimed aces proclaim:A that they belonged to the genus coal-heaver, favoured the company with a series Of yells that would have done honour to an Indian war dance. A strong body of police were in attendance to preserve order, but it was soon very evident that they were insufficient for the purpose, and after gal lantly withstanding for nearly half an hour the efforts of the assail ants to get close to the plattbr m , they at fast, by command of Super intendent Pearson; retreated i n good order behind the breastwor k s, from where no effort of the en emy could dislodge them. Th i s ma noeuvre was beautifully effected, with o n ly th e l oss o f o ne policeman's baton. • serAviesni°-*Lgortillierrgea'n'tellsenEhlrmi.ohlot, L a o ce rr lam an c ied s Stuart, t i e Lord Charles Fitzroy, Lo r d El phinstone, Lord W.

Mr; SMEDLEY, the High Bailiff, then came forward, and, as well as ca Lo nd rd ida 3 t r e a s re we usll oibll: we could hear him, for the gentlemen who composed the crowd were too much engaged In listening to their own sweet voices to attend to the speakers, said that he had that day the honour of attending there as the returning officer for the city of Westminster. The electors were assembled to express their opinion as to who of the two gentlemen who solicited their suffrages should be their representative in the Commons House of Parliament. The electors were no doubt aware that the present vacancy had taken place in consequence of one of their representatives—he m eant Captain Rous-- having accepte d office under Government.—(C r i es of " More shame for him, " from one section of thacrowd, and cheerin g f rom the Gallant Captain's partisans.) That gentleman was, however, e li g ib le to be re-elected, and he was there to offer himself to them. The other candidate was General Sir De Lacy Dvans. -lie need not point out to them the importance of the privilege Orgy were met that day to exercise —(Shouts of" We know it")—but lie would at ones conclude by causing the writ to be read. The preliminary forms*are gone through amid much interruption, when as a fit and_iirnr7 could, however, only be heard him ; when shortly afterwards *, the faro few Itlo stoCod beside Lord F. EGERTON seconded the nomination. He was equally in audible, the terrific noises which issued from the persons in front completely drowning every sentence. Mr. 'BOUVERIE then rose to propose General Sir Do Lacy Evans. He said that the electors were met that day for the purpose of returning a Member to Parliament, and it was with great pleasure that he proposed to them General Evans.— ' (Mingled cheers and hisses.) They had unfortunately elected a Tory and monopolist once before, thus rendering the city of West minster a nullity in the House of Commons; for irons of their Members on all of the great questions which concerned the happi ness of the people said " yes," the other Member as invariably said "no (Cheers.) If the one sought to advance every great social and political reform, the other opposed him. If the one contended that these reforms were ne cessary, the other maintained that they were not. The city of Westminster had at one time always been considered in the front ranks of liberalism, and the period was now come when she should resume her former position—(Cheers) --when she should show that she had within her the first, the most liberal, the most enlight ened constituency in England.—(Cheers, laughter, and cries of " Don't come over us," &c.) They had that day a place at their disposal, and they had two applicants for it. It was no place of emolument, although, judging from Captain Rous, it was a mode by which a place of emolument could be obtained.—(Cheers and great S confusion.) One of the applicants had always been a free-trader and he was so still— (Cheers) —he had always been against the present corn-laws anti he was so still ; he had always been a Reformer and he was so still.—(Contiaued cheering.) They had one who had always been on the side of popular rights and lie was so still. But the other applicant what had they had to say for hills He had been a Tory. What was he now ? He was a most extraordinary combination of opposite opinion. He seemed a sort of amphibious animal, a kind of horse-marine, not one thing or another. They had been asked the question by Sir Robert Peel, would they have free trade in the country ?—(Cheers.) Let them, as electors, answer yes.—(Cries of " Yes.") Then let them return General Evans for he was a staunch Liberal.—(Cheers.) Would they have Captain Rom? Let them loudly answer "No."— (Conuningled cries of " No" and "Yes.") They had no confidence in the fixity of his opinions. They would rather that Westminster were represented by one who was for the people and not against them. Let them, then, be early at the poll and return General Evans to Parliament. Dr. .BAINBRIDGE seconded the nomination of General Evans, and he now appeared before them for the sixth or severah time, to pro pose or second the nomination of the long-tried friend of the people, General Evans -- (Cheers)—a gentleman who had always been op posed to the corn-laws, and a stern defender of the. rights of the people.—(Hear, hear.) He was a supporter of free trade principles when they eid not lead to place or emolument, anti he was still the same.—(Cheers.) His Hon. opponent (Captain Rous) had told them that he was still unchanged. He came into Westminster as the child of the Tories and the Opponent of free trade.—(Cheers and hisses.) On a former occasion, on these very hustings, he spoke against free trade, and told the electors that it would be carried out, and send the labourers and artisans to live on bread and onions and a suck at the pump.—(Cheers and laughter.) Latterly, however, he had made a chauge, and he (Dr. Bainbridge) must say, judging from that, that the Gallant Captain's judgment must be very defective, or he must be acting dishonestly. If he has not changed his opinions, and is in favour of a repeal of she corn laws, then he must in the previous election have spoken in opposition to his convictions— (Hear, hear)—and thus have acted dishonestly, or he must have laboured udder an aberration of judgment, and did not know what he was doiug. In either view of the question such a gentleman was not a fit representative for a great and intelligent city like Westminster.— (Cheers and uproar.) He (Dr. Bainbridge) would leave him on the horns of this dilemma. Just before the as sembling of Parliament, a great meeting of the electors of Westminster was held on the question of the corn-laws, which was then so extensively agitating the country, and a requisition was sent to the Gallant Captain, most numerously and respectably signed, inviting him to attend. But he refused to do so, because he (Dr. Bainbridge) supposed the Gallant Captain did not then know the course the Ministry would take.—(Hear.) Was such a person a proper representative for them ?—(Cries of " No, no," and " Yes, yes,"from the suppporters of the respective candidates. He might add many other reasons why they should vote for the Liberal candidato—(Cries of "So we will,") — and reject Captain nous, but he would leave them to be given by the Gallant General himself, who was much more able to enter into en explanation of those '"sons than no (11r. Bainbridge) was. He now called on them to emancipate themselves and tree great city from the disgrace of being represented by an apostate Tory— (Loud cheering, and great uproar(—whom no one can understand—a' nondescript politician, who is neither fish, flesh nor fowl, but a sort of marine monster with a long tail and 1,0001. a-year tied to It—(Laughter, cheers, and hisses)—who comes to Westminster expecting the electors to help him to a good place.— (Cheers.) He (Dr. Bainbridge) trusted that they would rescue their fair fame, and restore the city to the former high and proud position from which it had been hurled ; and to enable them! to do so, he begged leave to second the nomination of Gen. Sir Le Lacy Evans.—(Cheers.) Captain Rous then came forward to address the electors, and was received with loud hisses and groans from the supporters of General Evans, and cheers from his friends. The Gallant Captain, who was much interrupted in the course of his speech, spoke to the following effect :—lle came forward at the present crisis to take the sense of the electors of the city ofWestminster on the measures of the Govern ' ment. He considered that it was the duty of all who wished well to the measures of Sir R. Peel to unite and say we will support no half-and-half men, who desert their colours every day, but men who will labour faithfully to serve their country, and also will support measures calculated to advance its true interests.—(Hear, hear.) In 1841, when he was first elected, there was a great stagnation in the commercial, manufacturing, and agricultural interest of the country; they were engaged in two wars, the funds were low,. mid a general despondency pervaded all classes. Whets Sir It. l'eel accepted office such was the state of the country ; but under his Administration trade hmended, the wars were brought to an end, 'the- funds rose, and general prosperity pervaded all ranks of society.—(Hear, bear, and cheers.) To what but to the policy of Sir Robert Peel could he (Captain Itsus) attribute the change. In 1841 and 1842 he was a pro:ectionist—(Hear)—but the events that had taken place during the last three years had caused an alteration in his views. What had taken place since the alteration of the tariff in 1843, had shown him the great advantage of the working of the free trade principle, and therefore he could come t o no other conclusion than to advocate free trade now, and support the Government in its endeavours to carry, them into effect.—(Cheers and hisses.) Upon the pre sent occasion it would be necessary for him to state that in the House of Commons, ho proposed that Australian corn should be admitted at a greatly reduced duty. In September last, when in Suffolk, he told his friends, not only that a free trade in corn must soon come into operation, but he went further, and said that as population increased, it would be necessary to give a bonus on the importation of foreign corn. That disposed of the asser tion that he had changed his opinions in order to serve Sir Robert Peel. His (Captain Rous's) opinions had been changed long before the proposition of Sir Robert Peel had been submitted, or perhaps before that Right Hon. Baronet had hirtiself changed.— (Hear, hear.) And now ho (Captain lions) supported the Govern ment of Sir Robert Peel, because he believed no mats was so Writ calculated to carry out free trade as that Right Iron. Gentleman. He considered that no person could more effectually carry out the principles of free trade than Sir Robert Peel. The electors of West minster will recollect (continued the Gallant Speaker); that, in no single measure calculated to promo! e their interests had he been unfaithful to his duty.—(Tremendous uproar and confusion.) He had supported a motion for the repeal of the window-tax, and he had opposed the contemplated alteration in the Vestries Act. He would support the present measures of the Government, as being, in his opinion, likely to conduce to the welfare and promote the hap piness of all &asses of the country.—(The confusion at this time be came tremendous, and a combination of the most discordant sounds entirely drowned the voice of the speaker.) In conclusion the Gal lant .Captain stated that whatever should be .the issue of the contest nothing • should erase from his :mind the memory of that confidence which four years since had returned him as the representative of a constituency which, for a quarter or a century, had not been represented by a Conservative Member. Time electors of this city had brought him for ward ; they turned the current of opinion in his favour, mid he defied his opponents to point out a single vote or act of his during the four years ho had been their representative which was not for the benefit of his constituency anti the people at large, and he felt convinced that he had not for feited that confidence which had been so honourably reposed in him. Ile had accepted office, not to promote his own advantage, but for the simple reason that he thought he should, however humble his abilities, be made useful in effecting those much to be desired re forms in the office of the Admiralty to which' her Majesty had been graciously pleased to appoint him.—(Great cheering and uproar.) To morrow will decide the question ; sad, he repeated, that whether beaten or victorious, he should continue to feel an inte rest in the welfare and prosperity of the city of Westminster, and to remember with feelings of gra titude the confidence they had hitherto reposed, in him. General EVANS (whose appearance was the signal for most voci ferous cheering from his own supporters, as well as groans an d o th er marks of disapprobation fr om his opponents) then said that although it was not his first. appearance before the electors of West minster, he never felt a greater i n t erest in their ' prosperity or more desire for the succ ess of a measure than for the one which now affected not only their interests but the werehid beenno w met *on such' interests of all classes of the conanuuhiety. reason The thatreturreturning officer had They y saved him the duty o f declaring t an occasion as the present. told that it was because hi s Gallant Opponent had ac ceptedf the Lords of the Admiralty. of one o the office In all fairness to his Gallant Opponent, he must bear witness to his his unblemished and man' character q ualities, to t if y ex cellent personal aced to say that any any remarks sh ou ld in society, and bet. . the feelingsof to wound op. fall from him calcUlated all intention of s disclaimed doing so, ponent, he at met.

But what do the exponents—the representatives of that high free-trade party—say? What does the Standard and the Herald newspapers say ? Why, that it was necessity that drove them to these measures of free trade. He lately met a Member of the present Parliament, a man of as high principles, of as high character, and of as honest independence as was now in Parliament, that man said to him (General Evans) he was glad he was going to standfor Westminster, for although he bad voted against him at the last election he would give him (General Evans) his cordial support on that occasion. This gentleman was a high Tory, but he was disgusted with the party who pro fessed liberal principles, but did not feel them.—(Loud cheers.) That friend said, that in common with the English people, he loved and honoured consistency. He felt obliged to that gentleman, and he (General Evans) hoped that they would all vindicate, and prove before to-morrow evening how much they re vered the: great principles of civil and religious liberty. He (General Evans) supported free trade measures when it produced no profit to do so.—(Cheers.)

LAW INTELLIGENCE. • VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Feb. 17. (Before Vice-Chancellor Wica.cst.) FRANK V. WALLER. A case of some interest to Benefit Societies came before his Honour on a bill, filed by the plaintiff and six others, members of a benefit society, called the " Welwyn Club.". These seven complained that they had been illegally deprived of all share in the benefits of the club by the remaining seven members, there being but fourteen tnem hers in all. The Welwyn Club was formed in 1824 with ten mem bers, some of whom are plaintiffs, and continued to exist up to 1843, when there were fourteen members, and the funds amounted to 2701. Consols, and 48/. in hand. In January of that year, :at a quarterly meeting of the club, when all the members were present except one of the plaintiffs and one of the defendants, it was pro posed by the plaintiff.

If these could constitute happiness, then you might be happy, but your household hearth is not warmed by affec tion.

She may wear one white rose in her dark hair. Go early ; if you see her not there you will never see her, as she is like a violet, hid amidst many leaves, only to be found when sought for. I know she is young, and it is my wish she should have some one to protect her.

Earl Ferrers." " ISABEL. . 4. " "Wednesday, March. Dearest Washington,--Thus again and again I hill write to you, and thus call you, for in truth you are dearer to me than aught else, and ever will remain so. The question may arise, why does she so write thus often—of what use is it where she puts not her name to these effusions ? This is the why and the wherefore—that you may know there is at least one being on earth who thinks and cares solely for you. Why I should thus feel and care I know not. I have but seen you, but the feeling is implanted and will remain with me. I cannot shake off the memory of yourself—in each scene your image presents itself; and the girl of nineteen vexes her parents and says no to her wooers, and the cause is yourself. It is, lam aware, uninaidenly thus to write ; but you know not the writer, and it is to that one a solace and comfort to tell you how much she loves you—how de votedly she is yours. Would that I could shake off the dream, for where will it end ?—with my life. And when I am folded in the calm, still sleep of death, with my being will it end. And you, may you be happy and blessed. Oh, that we might meet—thet you could love me even as I you; but we dwell far apart. And thus music, and flowers, and birds must be still tended and loved by me, for I see you not : the charm would then be twofold. When I watch the opening of the flower I think of you, and sigh that you are not with me, that the maiden's hand might pluck the rose for you and bid you wear it for her sake ; but this is not to be ; you cannot remember me, so you cannot love me. Perhaps these notes may never even reach you— that I should like to know: stay, I will tell you. On Monday,2sth of March, if you are at home, write and say if you have received a packet of anonymous letters, directed to you at Chartley. An en velope with yes or no written in it will be sufficient. Direct the envelope to Miss A. 8., Post-office, Leicester. If you write and direct thus, I shall surely have it, but perhaps you will take no notice of this—if so, well, it will still be the same, and I shall think as I now do. Washington, you are mine in thought, and you are very dear to me. Let me still think of you, and if you write, I shall then have something to look at as yours. "Now, as ever, your firm friend and wannest well-wisher, under her assumed ;tame, "A. B." The first witness for the defence was Evelin Phillip Shirley, Esq., cousin and guardian:of Lord Ferrers—l have known the defendant nine or ten years; he went to school to Mr. Ilepton for about four years, and- then he went to Eton for two years ; after that he went to Mr. Echalty, and then he went abroad; his letters to me were al way signed " Tamworth" until he became Earl Ferrers, and then he signed "Ferrers ;" he used sometimes to sign " Wishing," as a nick name, but he never signed " Washington Ferrers." I have about sixty of his letters in my pocket ; nese of them are written on scraps of paper. I have no sister married to a person named Wal ker.—(Laughter.) Lord Ferrers height the Conservatory in ques tion for 400/. ; this 'was shortly after the late Lord's death ; this was in Octobes, 1842 ; he was at my house in January, 1843, when lie came of age, and he then mentioned that he had received an anony mous letter, but I did not see it. I know nothing of Italian. I never heard of a person named Sir Terence Volney.—(Laughter.) Isro person of the name of M'Pheison ever attended my family. The letters now shown me are not in Lord Ferrero' handwriting; I have not the slightest doubt that they are all forgeries. Cross-examined —Mr. Hammen, the attorney, called on m 6 but I declined to see him. He had called on my father, for the purpose of seeing some of Lord Ferrero' writing. The word “Ferrers " to the letter No. I is ce ,- ..taly not in his handwriting. Titers .night be some resemblance, but is would not strike me.

I don't know that ho used to go cut with his servants and stay all night. About two months before he was married I was aware of it. The acquaintance was not older than two months before lie was married. It was in London he met the-lady. The letter now shown me is not in Lord Ferrers' handwriting. I spoke to Lord Ferrers one day about this matter. The reason I refused to give any information was, because I did not think Mr. Hammell behaved well. It was last summer I first spoke to Lord Ferrers about the affair. He said he had seen Miss Smith, but he had never spoken to her in his life. I did not know the Smith family, but I was told Mr. Smith was a farmer living at Austrey. Re-examined—When I spoke to Lord Ferrers about the matter, he said there was not a word of truth in it. Mrs. Hanbury Tracy 1117i1;e Only sister of Lord Feners, We live upon very affectionate terms. I have frequently written to him, and he to me. He always signs his name Ferrers. I have never received a letter from him signed "Washington Ferrers." I have been with him at Chartley, and he with me in Waled. never was at Brighton until August 1845. There is another Mr. Tracy, and he and his wife live at Brighton. She is in bad health. 'I have very good health. I don't know any ladies named Misses M'Trevor. The ten different letters alleged to have been written by Lord Ferrers to the plaintiff were then put into the wit ness's hands, and she said that she did not think that any of them were in his handwriting. She then'went on to say that her brother never had a horse named Zimro, but he had one named Zoc. I re member going with Lord Ferrers and my husband in the month of December, 1843, to Wales. It was soon after breakfast. He break fasted with us. It was quite impossible for Lord Ferrers to have gone to, and come from Austrey that day, bef o re we started, without my knowing it. Cross-examined—lt was while I was sitting in Court yesterday that my attention was called to this Journey. I cannot say on what day of December it was. I might have been a fortnight sr three weeks with my brother at this time. My brother very seldom rode out. Ile generally spent his evenings at home. I don't remem ber that be had any friends on a visit then. He was fond of fun.—(Laughter.) . I do not remember anything of a mock trial at the Castle. There was a Miss Davy there, and a Mr. and Mrs. Hid, and I saw them acting, but I can't tell what it was. My brother was dressed up with my grandfather's robes on, and sat in the 'arm-chair. I don't remember that any other persons were dressed up. I recollect the servants were called in there, and stocd with muskets. I might have been an hour there. I can't say when this took place, but it was after my grandfather's death. I have often heard of a charge brought against persons for stealing cran berries at Chartley, but I did not see a mock trial of any one there at that time for that offence. This took place at nine o'clock at night. This was not the only performance at Chartley, but I can't tell of any others. They used to perform plays. I took no part. I have heard that he used to go out dressed very oddly, but, have used to go to bed early, and was never disturbed by the noise. I h a met Mr. Harding at Chartley some times. I saw Mr. Gilpin a dressed up. Mr. Banbury' Tracy sworn-4 used to visit at Chartley. I never ti r i ej t ood ceived letters from Lord Ferrers, but I have seen a g many • he wrote to my wife. I have seen him write. The letters, numbered Beet leaving from 1 to 12, were then handed to the witnes s. Chartley on the 9th of December, 1543 , shortly alte r ; "' breakfast, for Wales. I can't say that the Earl breakfasted with ps, but he s tarte d with isq. The distance of Weichpool from Chartley is about fifty eight miles. Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—I have - recently looked at some of his letters to prepare. myself. I was looking at some last night. The paper handed use now appears to be better written than any of the 'others, and a great deal more like his writing. The letters I looked at were written within the last year and a half; his style was very short 'and very plain. I recollect the mock trial ; it was I who recommended it, in order to frighten a man charged with stealing cranberries. Ido not think he was sworn on the Bible ; Ido not re collect that there was any counsel ; I do not think there was counsel for the defence ; but we did sufficient to humbug the man.—(Laugh ter.) I believe his sentence was to bring him down and give hilt, some beer.— (Laughter.) I knew that some of the parties went out at night disguised. I think I have seen Lord Ferrers going out disguised with jack-boots and halt' military costume : this was about the time of the toll-breakers. I have seen him put on a Scotch dress, but not go out in it. It was while I was in Court that I re collected the 9th of December. I also referred to documents. Walter. 31`Loghlen, clerk to Mr. Mivart, hotel-keeper, in Brook street—l keep a register ,of all visitors at the hotel. Lord Ferrers was never at the hotel to my knowledge. Cross-examined—lf visitors stayed any time I should know them. We could accommodate two or three hundred. I don't believe I have ever seen Lord Ferrers. Persons of the highest rank go there and are not known. At the conclusion of this witness's evidence, the Court adjourned. 1.11•••••••___ THE MURDER IN DRURY-LANE. • BOW-STREET. EXAMINATION OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER. Thomas Wicks, a young man of about 20 years of age, who stands charged with thesnurder of his master, James Bostock, having been arrested ou that charge late on Monday night. was placed at the bar, before Mr. Twyford, as soon as the night charges were disposed of. From the time of the opening of the Court, and indeed lbr some time 'previous, the- street • was crowded with people anxiously waiting to "catch a sight" of the accused, but as is usual in such cases the prisoner was led across the street from the station house to the Court, at the same time with the other prisoners, so that he could not be distinguished from them by the mob. The Court itself was net so crowded as might have been expected ll'om the in terest usually displayed by the inhabitants of the vicinity of the police-court, in eases of this description. It is probable that but for the " counter-attraction" of the Westminster nomination, there would have been a much" larger attendance" at Bow-street. A beadle was in attendance to take notes of the examination, and to fbrulsh a report to the coroner, by whom be had been sent. A few minutes before the prisoner was brought in the court, a gen tleman applied to the magistrate to have the case put off till to morrow, saying that he was a relation of the prisoner, and that he was in possession of facts which, he thought, would materially alter the aspect of the case. _ - . Mr. TWYFORD said that he could not postpone the hearing of the case. If the applicant had 'any facts to adduce, an opportimity would be given hint in the course of the examination.' At ten minutes to two o'clock, the prisoner was placed the dock. On being led into the room by the gaoler. he made a sprint', and entered the box in a wonderfully non-clialent manner. On being asked whether his name wet Thomas Wicks, he replied: " yes," in a " big manly voice." lle is a very boyish - lwk i gg s e e r d son, not appearing to be more than 17 in a velveteen jacket.

Under the authority of these rules the defendants acted, and contended they had a right to act. It was contended, on the part of the plaintiffs, that they had done nothing to merit expulsion, and that, on the ground of a verdict by Lord Eldon, they had a right, if they so wished, to withdraw, rand take tketr propor tion of the funds. It was remarked on in court that the rules in the present case were absurdly stringent, and even contradictory, audit was deprecated on all hands— by his Honour as well as by the counsel engaged—that the case had been pressed on till it be came a suit in Chancery. The counsel for the plaintiffs were Mr. RomWy and Mr. Watford ; for the defendants, Mr. Parker and Mr. Tremenheere. Judgment was deferred. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 17. (Before Mr. Justice WIG/MILAN and a Special Jury.) BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. SMITH V. LORD FERRERS. The Court sat this morning at half-past nine o'clock, and, as oa the previous day, the Court became crowded to excess. Several ladies, relations of the noble defendant, were accommodated with scats on the bench., Prudence Scott was the first witness called--I am the daughter of the Postmaster of Shirlyweek. I did not assist in the post-office. I knew that Lord Ferrers had a post-bag there. I kept the key. Whon tte bag comes it is locked, at d I open it, and take the letters out. I have done this for the last two or three years. I have seen " Ferrers" on the corner of his Lordship's letters, and knew the handwriting. Within the last 18 months I have observed a change in the writing. and it appeared to be rather larger. I know a person named Leadbeater. He is Lord Ferrers' house-steward. About half a year ago, since Lord Ferrer? marriage, Leadbeater called at the office. I never saw Lord Ferrers write, but the writing now shown me is a great deal like the signatures I have seen. The letter No. 9 is like. No. Bis not so much like. No. 7is much like it. No. 6is like it, but rather smaller. ' No. 5 is rather smaller than he is in the habit of writing now. The same answer applies to letters No. 4, No. 2, and No. 1. The letter marked " A" is rather like ; that narked letter " B" is a great deal like it. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—My father and mother are not here. The reason I began to notice the writing was because Lord Ferret's used to write to my father, requesting him to register letters. I have seen perhaps half a dozen of those, both the inside and the outside of them ; this was during a period spread over two or three years. I did not look at the letters for the purpose of identifying the writing, I merely picked them up to look at3them. Re-examined—When Lord Ferrers lived at Chartley he sent letters constantly to the post-office. I have seen a good many letters during that time ; he has sent fewer sine° his marriage. Th;;ITTORNEY I GENERAL then asked if the Solicitor-General was prepared to accede to the proposition he wade yesterdar ? Mr. CHAMBERS said he did not think he should be caned upon to do this until he had heard the case for the defence. It appeared that the offer to inspect all the letters was made to defendant's counsel several months ago, but they denied that any such offer was made. Ills LORDSHIP could not see what objection there could be to the imspection ot the letters, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he would not now accept the favour, as it had b.wn refused. Frederick Hilyard, clerk in the General Post-office—The practice in the Post-office with regard to refused letters is to open them, and, it possible, return them to the writers. They are not registered unless they contain value. If they happen to be letters addressed to noble men, they are selected and sent out ; and if all efforts to find him fail, they must be opened. I have examined the register for 1843 and 1844, and find no register of such letters to Lord Ferrers. When a letter is opened and the writer cannot be found, then the letter is leatroyai. . James Hatton, postmaster end parish clerk at.Appleby—l cannot say that more letters pased through my office for Mr. Atkins. In 1841:AA 1.844 than, usual. They were generally letters ou family affairs between Atkins and his wife. Not so many as two or three a week, or four or fivo - 41"11011th• • • The post-mark on the letters was Hammersmith," suit ori sobers " Ashby ae la Zouch." Since the Middle of 1844 I have received ' one letter from :Atkins, with the postmark of " Ashby." I did not notice them particutoriy, not having any suspicion. Mrs. Perry was called, but the answer was that she was too 111 and could not attend. A clerk in the Will-office produced a copy of the. will of the late Lord Ferrers, by which it appeared that the estates, &c., had de scended to the defendant. Mr. CHAMBERS called upon the defendant's counsel to produce the letter of the 24th of June, 1844, from Mr. Smith to Lprd Ferrers. The Register read a copy of the letter, which was one expressing the pleasure the writer felt in the expected alliance, and his convic tion that the defendant's happiness would be secured by his choice, though the writer had no hope of seeing the plaintiff married to a peer of the realm. The Register then read the letters, which were ten in number. Mrs. Elizabeth Perry was then called.—l recollect being on a visit with Miss Smith's father, in the month of April, 1844, at Siascote. Mrs. and Miss Smith were there one or two days. They left, and returned sooner than I expected. While I was there Miss Smith gave me a letter to put in the post. It was directed to the Right lion. Earl Ferrers, Chartley Castle, Staffordshire. I did not see the contents of the letter. Ladies do not generally show the letters they write to gentlemen.— (Laughter.) I put that letter in the post at Lichfield. I was in constant commueication with Miss Smith upon her contemplated marriage with Lord Ferrers. lam the wife of a clergyman of the Church of England, and reside in Oxfordshire. Here the case for the plaintiff closed. The ATTOBNEY-GENEEAL theta proceeded to address the jury for the defendant. He commenced by calling upon the jury to give their calmest consideration to this most important case, for it was one which, in his professional experience, he had never seta equalled. At present all appeared to be unintelligible and mysterious, and he confessed that he had never heard of a case that appeared so inextricable. But he would pledge himself that, before he sat down, he would have satisfied the jury, beyond the possibility of all doubt, that this was a mast false and flagitious pro ceeding from beginning to end ; and though the result of the verdict of the jury —if in favour of the defendant, as he had no doubt it would be—would brand the plaintiff with disgrace and ignominy, yet his duty would compel him to adopt a course which would have such a re sult, in order that his noble client m'ght not appear to be what he had been attempted to be represented. The Learned Gentle man then cited two instances of cases of a description some what similar to the one he should make out. Ono was the case of a young woman who had left her employment, and in order to account for her absence told a falsehood, which led on to others, and at last got herself so involved that she swore she had been taken away by two gipsies, whose lives had well nigh been forfeited, had not her perjury been detected, and she was trans ported. The other case was somewhat similar. He would show distinctly and clearly that this was a like case, and that it was from beginning to end a base and infamous conspiracy, got up by the plaintiff herself by a series of letters, for the purpose of involving his client in this action. The -Learned Gentleman then went over the evidence with great care, and pointed out the absurdity of the notion that Lord Ferrers ever could have written the letters attributed to hint. He'called the particular attention of the jury to the evidence of the plaintiff's mother, to whom ho had shown several letters folded up, which the witness said were in the handwriting of her daughter. These letters he would new produce. Whon he had explained their nature to the jury, and read their contents, he believed he need go no further with the case. The jury had heard a great deal about letters that the plaintiff had written to the defendant, and they bad been posted by different parties, who had been innocently involved in this scheme; amongst others, a letter with a pocket-handkerehlef. and the jury would very naturally ask, could it be possible that those letters had not reached their destination. Bad not Lord Ferrers received them ? Me now came to the great and &importa bent feature of this case, the most dis tressing one. But fore he did so, lie would just call attention to one - or two passages contained in the letters alleged to have been written by him to the plaintiff. The jury had heard the plaintiff's sister swear that Lord Ferrers was in her father's house on the 9th of December, 1843 ; but he would prove beyond all doubt that it was utterly impossible that could be true, for he left Chartley that morn ing after breakfast, and therefore, in order to have been at Austrey and back to Chartley, he should have ridden 60 miles before he started for Welchpool. He would prove beyond all doubt that the whole of this transaction was a tissue of falsehood and forgery from beginning to end. He then read extracts from the letters alleged to have been addressed to the plaintiff by the defendant, in which the writer was represented as being at Mivart's and various other places, and of writing of persons whom the Attorney-General would prove the defendant had never known or never met. Ha then commented in strong and severe language on the conduct of the witness Holland, and having referred to the alleged presents of silks, books, &c., he said he would produce witnesses tol falsify all that. He then con cluded by reading the following letters, all of which bore anonymous signatures, and which he said ho could identify as the letters which the plaintiff had caused to be posted and directed to the defendant. When the Learned Counsel concluded his address, after having been speaking nearly three hours, there were syinptouis of applause, which were suppressed. No. 1. " Wednesday, May 1, 151 4. " My dearest Washington, — Days, even weeks pass on, yet hear I not from or of you. Are yen still away from your home, or have you even yet returned to Chartley ? I am fearffil that these ro mantic notes of mine should reach you not. How I long to see your face ; shall I ever again do so ? to hear your voice and see you smile; but, perhaps, I may never behold you more. There is a secret plea sure in writing to you, knowing you know not me, nor can even dream of the lady's name or place of abode that thus addresses you ; therefore, lam safe. Ali ! could you but know how much I think of you, how every feature of your face is written on my heart, me thinks sometimes ou would even love me for my deep fond love ; it is as my being, and will abide with me till death; you are in thought all to me. Would you too could lave the one who thus thinks of you; might my whole life be spent in watching over you, and in pre venting every evil from approaching him so loved ; it would, indeed, be untold happiness to be ever near and with you in each danger, difficulty, joy, or sorrow ; once I dreamed the angel of death hovered near you, and that I stayed the hand that would have destroyed, .and saved you from death. Heaves and the God I revere and worship keep you safe from all harm, most beloved of all on earth to me. Now the beautiful spring is here, and with it flowers ; indeed everything bright and beautiful in nature teaches us to thank the Creator for his wonderful mercies. You have very much to be thankful for. May you be happy and blessed in your home, and when you wed, may the one you may choose bees a creature of life and light to you, brightening each darker moment of your life, enlightening each sorrow, enhancing each joy, administering comfort. Such thus much may every woman do, if she truly love the one given to her as her partner for BM, if he In return show due consideration and affection for her. such would I be to thee - - leaving' all for thy sake, enduring all that thou mightest be blessed. But perhaps this may never, never be. Perhaps you may even now love another. God is above all, with all ;he will judge rightfully for all. And thus each mortal treads upon his fate, looks back, sighs, hesitates, when it's too late.'

NOTICE TO MARINERS. The agent to Lloyd's at• Vince', states that. by late observation made it had been ascertained that the current caused by the Great Jetty across the liar formed at the mouth of the port of Malamacco, had already cut a channel across it of about 40 fathoms from the edge of the Jetty, the uniform depth of water on which was about fifteen feet and a half at mid tide, decreasing abruptly at the termi nation of the 40 fathoms to about 12 feet. The pilot had received in structions to avail himself of this channel in bringing vessels into port.
