PLATE GLASS —The long wished-for repeal of duties upon plate glass has given an impetus to this branch of manufacture, and brought into the field new and enterprising capitalists who ap pear to have started with the full determination of bene fiting the public and realising for themselves a return of profit, alone contributed to by an economy of production allied to an increase of consumption. A re peal of the window-tax is only now wanting to dis enthral these beneficial efforts. This spirited company have purchased an extinct, but most extensive manu• factory, at Sutton, near St. Helen's; and under the title of " The London and Manchester Glass Company," are bringing into the market plate glass with the supe rior advantages of several scientifi, improvements. By these means this company is furnishing plate glass at less than half the prices of 1846! During. a recent sop portunity we had of seeing somewhat int o th e myster i es of the pl a te glass manufacture at their works, we were pleased at observing the curious and beautiful machinery for the completion of this now no l onger scarce, although linmapnraogyeerm\nitrs. article. The practical m, very necessary Blinkhorn, kindly pointed out a v ariety for economising time, obtaining the highest palish, and all tending to a superiority of " metal" at less cost. This wholesome reduction appears to be inducing th e public to avail themselves of so sanitary and decorative a product; indeed, rough plate glass is now being exten sively adopted for roofing buildings. Through the cour. tesy of Mr. Grundy, the company's representative, Rathbone-place, London, we have beenenabled of 12, thus to acquire information of so much interest at the present period. SUICIDE AT MALTA.—On the morning of the 23d of February the Rev. Robert Irvine, M.A., Incumbent of St. John's, Waterloo-road, Lambeth, who occupied apartments at Barker's (Princes s R o y a l) Hotel, was found in his bedroom with his throat cut and dead, evi dently having committed suicide. The deceased had recently arrived at Malta from Tunis, and no cause has as yet been discovered for his committing the act, though it is rumoured that some of the Rev. Gentle man's friends and acquaintance had witnessed in him for several weeks previous a change in his manner. His papers and effects have been taken possession of (as is usual in such cases) by the Crown Advocate, who lodges the same in the Crown Court until claimed for the de ceased's lawful representatives.

HOME ClRCUlT.—Hertford, Mardi 4. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before the Lnrd CHIEF JUST/CM and a Special Jury.) BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.-KNILL V. LEWIS. This was an nction for a breach of promise of mar riage, to which the defendant pleaded, first, that he did not promise in the form laid in the declaration, and also that sufficient time had not been given to him to per form the promise he had made. Sergeant Shee and Mr. T. Chambers were for the plaintiff; Sergeant Channell and Mr. Bovill for the defendant. Sergeant SEEE stated the case. He said the plaintiff in this action was Miss Eliza Knill, a lady who had for sixteen years filled the respectable and responsible office of manager of the National Girls' School at Wotton, and in that capacity she had enjoyed the esteem and friend ship of the vicar, and all the principal inhabitants of the parish. She was the niece of the Rev. Richard Knill, a Dissenting minister, who, after having devoted a consi derable portion of his life to religious duties as a mis sionary, was appointed to the ministry of an independent congregation at Wotton-under-Edge, in Gloucestershire. The defendant was also a Dissenting minister, and he had likewise devoted a great portion of his life to the duties of a missionary, and he had likewise been appointed a minister at Wotton, but which, at the time this transac tion took place, he had resigned, and was living upon his property near the town. He was a man of great respec tability, a widower, and had a family of grown up chil dren, and was, he believed, possessed of very considera ble private property, and he was a man of an advanced period of life. It was the custom of Miss Knill to visit her uncle at certain periods, and she did so in August, 1847. There was, as might be supposed, very consi derable intimacy between the family of the Lewiscs and that of Mr. Knill, and in the course of that visit, the defendant was introduced to Miss Knill, and he very shortly afterwards proposed to her uncle that she should become his wife, and he at the same time in formed him that he should be able to settle at least 1,0001. upon her. Miss Knill accepted the offer, and, notwithstanding the position of the parties, he must say that it could not be considered an im provident or ill-assorted match. The defendant, as he had stated, was advanced in years, but he was not stricken by years. He had no one to wait upon him but a ser vant, and it was perfectly clear that the attentions of a kind and affectionate person, such as the plaintiff ap peared to be, must be of great importance to him. The plaintiff also filled a position of great respectability, and her situation was one of great importance to her. She had a salary of 501. a year, a good house to live in, and coals and candles.—(A laugh.) It would be very well understood with what reverence a person in her position would feel towards a gentleman in the station of the defendant, and the honour and pleasure which she anti cipated from their union. He should read the corre spondence that had taken place between them, and although in the letters there were certainly more frequent allusions to Scripture than would probably be made use of under such circumstances by persons of other religious opinions, yet when they considered the station of both parties, he was sure they would feel that they expressed the sincere feelings of their hearts, and that they considered the proposed union in the light of making all their actions subservient to their eternal welfare, and these letters ought not to be treated either with ridicule or contempt. He had stated that the offer was made in September, and on the 11th of that month the plaintiff went home to Wotton, with the intention of providiug clothes and making the neces sary arrangements for the marriage, and in pursuance of such intention she gave notice of her desire to quit her situation. A day or two after she arrived she received the letter from the defendant, which he would now read : "My dear Eliza,—l received your kind letter yester day, and was happy to hear that you had arrived safe at Wotton. Your aunt called on me Saturday after noon. I told her I had a bad night last night. Did not close my eyes for sleep till day-break. She said you had a sleepless night, for which I was very sorry. You expressed a wish to her to hear how I was, so that I was hanging about your mind. See how creatures affect us I My servant Sarah, on my informing her what was on the carpet, appeared to make a trial, but since she seems to have altered her mind. She has circulated the affair in the town, and has talked in a very unbecoming way ; says I am town talk, and says I have not treated her well, meaning as she knew I had left her a trifle in my will, should she be with me at the time of my decease. Since she has vented her spite she conducts herself better, but it is very evident it will by no means do to continue her a servant hero. Should she get on the high horse again, she shall go, and I will give her a month's wages. I feel a great deal, and cannot bear unkindness. Nothing unplea sant has occurred between us till now. I cannot say whether our affair has reached my daughter's ears ; I rather dread it. It lies with some weight on my mind. I cannot say how she will take it. She is apt to be violent in her temper. This I must leave with God. I hope we abound in prayer. I cannot forget the Snn day evenings' addresses from this day will I bless you' —a covenant; God grant it may las verified in us. My cough this morning is rather troublesome. Dear Eliza knows my infirmities. It is all well that God does. I need not say, whenever you feel disposed to write, drop me a line; I shall be glad to receive it.—l remain, dear Eliza, yours most sincerely and affectionately, " JOHN LEWIS." Sergeant Shea proceeded. In answer to this letter the plaintiff sent the following:— " My dear Mr. Lewis,—With pleasure I take up my pen to answer your kind letter. That you hang about my mind is indeed a truth, fur you are never out of it. I think you are quite right about your servant, and I hope you will act upon it, if she does not conduct herself properly. I know you feel ngreat deal, and am very sorry you should have any unkindness to bear. Now I come to your daughter. She is, as we expected, I understand, in a rage, but, knowing you told me she should not put it aside, I do not take the least notice of it—that is, to move me from my purpose, while, at the same time, I am sorry for it, and feel that nothing can be done but to take it to a throne of grace, and there spread the matter before God. How delightful it is to go to God and roll all our burdens on the back of the groat burden-bearer. I have done so this day. I went heavy and sad, but am quieted in the assurance of faith that all will be well, and I hope, my dear Mr. Lewis, you will not let it be a weight on your mind. When we are doing nothing unpleasine to God, we may with safety leave it to him and expect his blessing, but let us, as you say, abound in prayer, in order that we may from this day be blessed. I receive many kind congratulations here, and shall in a few weeks, I dare say, be free of my charge here; and now, dear Mr. Lewis, I will conclude in your own words, that whenever you feel disposed to write to me, I shall be happy to receive it.-ZYours affectionately, " ELIZ A." Sergeant Shee proceeded—After these communications had passed, the plaintiff of course fully expected that the marriage would take place, and she informed her friends of the affair, and as she stated received the con gratulations of her friends—what then were her feelings upon the receipt of the following letter from the daughter in- law of the defendant:— " On my arrival at home judge of my astonishment at hearing you had accepted an offer from my father-in law to become his wife. The offer was most inconside rately made, and still more foolishly accepted. Sound judgment seems to have been out of the question. Mr. Lewis now sees that he has a family whose comfort and welfare must be considered as well as his own. He sees that the interests of the Church are committed to his keeping, and he dares not, by causing the enemy to blaspheme, violate his sacred trust. He sees that the charaCter of his pastor, your uncle, is at stake, and that his usefulness will be compromised, and he would not for the world that offence should arise through him. I am therefore specially requested by him to say that he is determined to give up all thought of the union. Your uncle will doubtless write you on the subject-- I remain, yours sincerely, " E. LE WIS." The plaintiff was, of course, not satisfied with the match being broken off in this manner, and she determined to endeavour to ascertain from the defendant himself what reasons he had for such conduct, and accordingly wrote him the following letter:— " Mr. Lewis—l received a letter from Mrs. John Lewis on Tuesday morning, at the same time as you would receive one from me. I therefore deferred noticing that until sufficient time had elapsed to receive an answer from you, but as this morning's post has brought me none, I am compelled, painful as it is to me, again to address you, and I beg to hoar from yourself what your intention is in this matter of our proposed marriage. Mrs. Lewis, in her letter, states that she is requested by you to say that you are determined to give up all thoughts of the union. Now, then, we must turn to the other side of the question, and see what I have to say about it, and will come at once to the point. lam the injured party. Were lin the same position now as when I parted with you, I would have pocketed the in sult, borne the mortification, and treated it with silent contempt, but it isnot so. Could I for ono moment doubt the sincerity of a Christian man like yourself? I there fore, agreeably to your wishes, having full confidence in all you had said, began to wind up my affairs, put my self to expense, and, what is worse than all, gave up my situation, and told you in my letter, I should be free of my charge here; and after all this you can treat me thus. Oh, well might the Psalmist say, Lord, what is man?' Surely, well described by the prophet, 'Deceit ful above all things.' But I forbear, and will wait a reasonable time for your answer, in order that I may know how to act. "I remain, Sir, yours, See-, "E. KNILL." This letter produced no reply from the defendant himself, hut a (lay or two afterwards the plaintiff re ceived another letter from his daughter:— " Your note to my father has just been handed to me. I am truly sorry to see such an unbecoming spirit mani fested. No insult was intended, nor has any been offered. Your letter has confirmed Mr. Lewis 'in his de termination ; he will not act so diametrically opposite to the advice of his family and friends as to proceed in an affair so contrary to reason. Had you listened to your aunt's advice to postpone your answer till Mr. Lewis had consulted his family on the subject, all this trouble would have been spared. These are certainly times when everything proceeds with railway speed, and you seem to have resolved to go with the times ; for it is not an every-day occurrence for such a multiplicity of arrange ments to be completed in one week. But you say Mr. Lewis requested it. Perhaps so, :but ladies are not ex pected to act up to the letter of every wish that may be expressed on the spur of the moment on such occasioas, especially when the chosen one is a youth of eighty years. But, as you say,' I forbear.' There is only one favour I have to ask—if you have a spark of attachment or consideration for your uncle, let the matter rest. We all see what you are now aiming at. The strain in which you have addressed Mr. Le wis can onl y be inju rious to- yourself. Wishing you right views and proper feelings on the subject, I remain yours " truly, E. LEWIS." The plaintiff, after this, made another attempt to obtain an explanation from the defendant by writing to him the following letter:— " Mr. Lewis,—ln consequence of Mrs. Lewis's letter to me, I am constrained, in self-defence, again to write to you. I have nothing to do with ker. She says no insult was intended. I would have agreed with her, if you had really some good reasons for withdrawing, and candidly and kindly have stated them to me yourself. Much trouble might have indeed been spared. But no, you have been silent, and allowed others—storm after storm—to hurl their thunder-bolts at me, and for what? If I know my own heart at all, I simply de sired to be a comfort to you. You very well know that I said to you, ' How about your children?—for I cannot bear to live in ill feeling with any one—shall I have in them friends or enemies ?' and you said, Friends I hope. I have been to my son, Richard, twice to-day, and told him I was coming here, and he approves it.' But,' said I,' What does Mrs. Stoner say?' You said, I have not told her, for she is very violent in her temper, and when she hears it, I dare say she will come to your uncle; but I hope Mr. Knill will be very severe with her, for I do not mean that she shall put it aside;' and when you alluded to her in your letter to me, you said, ' This I must leave with God.' Again, when you mentioned money matters, I said, I can have no thing to do with that; there is something in the affair on hand far higher in my view than all that.' You wanted a companion and friend, and urged me to leave Wotton as soon as possible to be all that to you, and because I agreed to do so and acted upon it, I am to be treated in this way, and told that no insult was offered, and that I acted with railway speed, and, in a most satirical man ner, bringing in your 'youth,' as Mrs, Lewis chooses to call it. Now, I know of no passage in all God's book condemning marriage in any, on account of age or cir cumstances, roc have I ever heard of any law of man that countenances such treatment as I am receiving, be cause I had consented thereto. Now, air, my own conscience, and I am sure I can in truth appeal to yours also, that I have neither said, done, nor written anything that I am ashamed should appear before your family, the whole town of Wotton, or any court of justice. Thus conceiving that I have right views and proper feelings' on the subject, I again request a communication from yourself. Without it you cannot expect that I should let the matter rest." The only answer she received to this communication was the following one from Mrs. Lewis:—" Mrs. Lewis begs to acknowledge the receipt of Miss Knill's letter, and, at the same time, to intimate that the Rev. J. Lewis considers her fully competent to answer any inquiries Miss K. may choose to make." Under these circum stances the plaintiff bad no alternative but to institute the present proceedings, and the jury would say by their verdict to what amount of damages she was entitled. He did not mean to urge that there had ever been any vio lent affection, but most certainly the plaintiff had been disgraced and placed in a most painful position by the conduct of the defendant, and was, therefore, entitled to some compensation. The Rev. Mr. Knill was then examined. He deposed that he was, at the time in question, the minister of an Independent congregation at Wotton-under-Edge, and the plaintiff was his niece. The defendant had been his particular friend for many years, and he was also formerly minister of an Independent congre gation. In the autumn of 1847, the plaintiff was at his house on a visit, and was introduced to , the defendant, who afterwards frequently conversed to him about her, and said how much he wished to make her his wife if she had been two or three years older. The plaintiff was about forty-five years old. The de fendant used frequently to say that she was a very nice young woraan.—(A laugh.) On the 10th of September defendant, witness, and the plaintiff took tea together, and she was going to return the next day to Wotton. In the course of the day he saw the defendant in the garden, sitting under a large shady tree—(Laughter)— and witness went up to him, when he told him he had made his niece an offer of marriage, and that she had accepted him. He talked very fast, and said a good deal. —(Renewed laughter.) He at first suggested that the marriage should take place in London, but witness objected, and said it ought to take place there, and the defendant assented. Witness then told him that his niece would have a good name, and that, as he might die in a mouth, he ought to make some provision for his widow. He considered a short time, and then said he thought he could settle a thousand pounds on her. The defendant had frequently complained that he was very lonely, as he could not talk to his servant, who had only one or two ideas, and that he was in great want of a friend and companion. Cross-examined—The defendant was eighty years old. He only went out upon one occasion with my niece. There was no discontent among the congrega tion on account of the proposed marriage, but the Lewis family were of course very angry about it. He was never accused of getting up the marriage between his niece and the defendant, and did not leave his ministry on account of the dissatisfaction created among the con gregation in consequence. Mr. Lewis was very anxious that he should telt him when his niece was going to leave Wotton-under-Edge. She came there the latter end of August, and left in the beginning of September. Miss Mary Moginie, an acquaintance of the plaintiff, deposed that she informed her of the intended marriage, and she was aware that she had purchased clothes to the amount of 301., in anticipation of the marriage. Cross-examined—Plaintiff still occupied her situation at the school. This was the plaintiff's case. Sergeant CHANNELL then addressed the jury for the defendant., and he said that no cases differed so much in their circumstances as breaches of promises of this de seriptien. In some cases, where a long period of youth ful affection was wantonly put an end to, no damages could be too great for the injured party, but in others, and such a case he submitted was the present, no injury whatever had been inflicted. In this case the parties, one an old manof eighty, and the other a woman of ma ture years, certainly, were only proved to have been seen once together; and what attachment could possibly be supposed to exist under such circumstances? It was, indeed, ridiculous to talk of affection in such a case ; and, if the union had taken place, every one must sec that it could not have been productive of anything like bliss or happiness. It was quite clear that, as Miss Lewis said, the offer had been inconsiderately made, and as foolishly accepted ; but still he must admit that the offer had been made, and the jury were called upon to state what damage the plaintiff had sustained by its being broken. Something had been said about a sum of a thousand pounds being settled upon her, but there was no evidence when she was to have it, except that there was some suggestion that everything was to be settled in a month, and she was to become a widow and have the money at the same time. What damage had the plaintiff sustained ? Look at the ages of the parties ; and he asked them to con sider what happiness or advantage could be likely to be derived from such an union. The plaintiff herself had evidently treated the affair as a matter of business, and said that she had wound up her affairs in anticipation of the marriage. —(A laugh.) It was stated that she had given up her situation in consequence ; but that did not appear to be the case, and there was no proof of her having suffered the slightest damage. If the jury should, however, feel themselves compelled to give a verdict in her favour, he felt assured that they would consider the smallest amount ample compensation under all the circumstances of the case. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up very briefly, and the jury, after deliberating for more than an hour, returned a verdict for the plaintiff —Damages, 501. OXFORD el RC CI IT .—Reading, March 4. William Wilmhurst, a gentlemanly-looking young man, was arraigned before Mr. Justice Patteson, on numerous indictments, for extensive forgeries. He was charged with forging the signature of Sir E. Filmer, Bart., M.P., for 3,7241.; a similar fraud on Messrs. Wil liams, bankers, of Dorchester, for 3001., by means of a forged letter of credit, purporting to have been issued by Cocks and Biddulph, of Charing-cross; a third for gery on the Old Bank, at Oxford, and others on the London and County Joint-stock Bank, and its branches. The prisoner was stated to have held the situation of clerk in one of the neighbouring banks. The forgery of the signature of Sir E. Filmer was the first case gone into. Mr. Keiiting prosecuted, and Mr. Cook defended. Mr. J. Brodstreet, a clerk at the London and County Bank, at Oxford, said that, on the 9th of September, the prisoner came to the bank, and having given his name and address a 3 J. M. Brown, Esq., Park place, near rangbourne, wished to open an account. He offered tNo drafts, one was signed E. Filmer, Bart., and purported to be drawn for 3,7241., on Messrs. Overend and Gurney, dated Sept. 6, 1847. The other was on the London and County Bank, Lombard-street, by William Taylor, in favour of H. Brown, for 3241. He stated the larger cheque to be the proceeds of a murtgage, which he had foreclosed, and which had been purchased by Sir E. Fil mer. Having produced a letter, which purported to have comp from Overend, Gurney, and Co., and which tended to prove the genuineness of the larger draft, wit ness received them, and gave an accountable receipt for the whole. Prisoner signed J. M. Brown in the auto graph book. Prisoner then said he wanted some cash, and he was allowed to draw by cheque 301. In the course of an hour he returned and presented another cheque, represented to be drawn by B. Plaisted, in favour of J. M. Brown, Esq., for 2511., on the London and County Bank. He asked cash for the whole of that, which was refused. He asked for an order on London, and, after some delay, he had one for 2001., at four dap' date. Having reason to suspect that they wero forgeries, he traced the prisoner to Abingdon-road station, and got 211. and the letter of credit back from him. Sir Edward Filmer said the signature was not his. He never banked at Overend, Gurney, and Co.'s. There was no other baronet of the same name. The draft by W. Taylor on the London and County Bank for 3101., as also that on the same bank for 2514, in the name of J. B. Plaisted, being proved to be forgeries, it was shown that on the morning of the 9th of Septem ber he engaged a special train to be ready at half-past eleven on the Great Western Railway at Oxford, but he never came. The Learned JUDGE then carefully summed up the whole facts, and The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The prisoner was then indicted for defrauding Messrs. Williams, of Dorchester, of 3001. by means of forgery, and was found Guilty of the charge. The Learned JUDGE sentenced him to be transported for the term of his natural life. The other indictments, of course, were withdrawn. WESTERN CIRCUIT.— Winchester, March 4. (Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) THE QUEEN V. BISHOP—CHARGE OP FORGERY OF AN I 0 U. Edward Owen Bishop, who, it will be remembered, was tried and convicted on Tuesday last, of embezzling the sum of 1,0001., the property of the Wilts and Dorset Banking Company, was again placed at the bar, charged with having forged an I 0 U for 8,4771. 4s. 2d. The indictment described the I 0 U es an undertaking for the payment of money, and varied the amount to defraud in many ways, the indictment being thirty-eight feet in length. Mr. Hodges and Mr. Massey conducted the prosecu tion, and Mr. Poulden defended the prisoner. It appeared, from the evidence, that the prisoner was the manager of the Christchurch branch of the Wilts and Dorset Bank, and that he had become mixed up with a Mr. James Kemp Welsh, who was a partner in the Banking Company of Tice, Welsh, and Company, at Christchurch, in railway speculations, in which he (the prisoner) acted as the broker for Mr. Welsh. Mr. Welsh, unknown to the firm with which he was connected as a partner, specu lated in railway shares, and in 1843 became acquainted with the prisoner, Bishop, who introduced him to his brokers, Messrs. Mullins end Marshall, of London. They acted for him for some time, but, in 1846, the prisoner, Bishop, asked Mr. Welsh to allow him to be his broker, as he had a friend in London, of the name of Clark, a broker, who was under obligations to him, who, he said, would allow him one half per cent. com mission. Mr. Welsh agreed to this, and employed Clark as his broker, Mr. Welsh was in the habit of speculating for the account, and, as the market went down in 1846, was generally a loser, on which oc..asions he paid the difference to Bishop, either in money or cheques over on his bank, and sometim.-s in orders on his London banker. Sometimes the prisoner held his cheques a few days for Mr. Welsh's convenience. On one occasion Mr. Welsh gave him a blank banker's cheque, in which he was to fill in the balance of the difference against him on the selling day if it was against him, and on another an I 0 U, signed by him "'Tice, Welsh, and CO." There was no direction in it, date, or amount. In July, 1847, the differences against Mr. Welsh were very heavy on the settling day, and Bishop told him that he had to call On him for 1,0001.; upon which he said that he hardly knew how to manage to meet the amount; that he could give him 6001., but wished the prisoner to advance him 4001. for a few days. The prisoner said that., it' Mr. Welch could pay the 1,0001. at once, he would pay him back tto 4001. in a few days, and he could repay it at his conve nience. This was done, and in August Mr. Welch re payed the prisoner the 4001., saying that he had had enough of railway shareholders, and " that he had done of it." He then asked the prisoner if he had anything of his (Welsh's)? to which prisoner said, " Yes, a blank cheque and an I 0 U." Mr. Welsh then to tic the blank cheque, saying that the lO U was of no use, and did not trouble to take it. Mr. Welsh swore most distinctly that the only authority he ever gave to the prisoner with regard to the I 0 U was to fill it up with an unasccr tained balance at one of the settling days, if the balance should be against him. This, however, was not dune, and the difference at that time was paid in cash. At the time of closing accounts with him, in August, he did not owe the prisoner anything, nor had he any autho rity to use his I 0 U - in any way, or fill it up. Evidence was then given to show that the prisoner had got into difficulties with regard to his own speculations, had em bezzled the moneys of the bank, and had filled up the IOU in question with the exact sum to cover his defi ciencies, namely, 8,4771. 4s. 2d. He then left his situa tion of manager of the bank, sending a letter of resig nation to the directors, and telling a clerk in the bank to present the IU U after he left. This was accordingly done, when the I 0 U was detained, and declared by Mr. James Kemp Welsh to be a forgery. Inquiries were then instituted which ended in Bishop being taken into custody, and prosecuted by the Wells and Dorset Bank for the embezzlement of money of the firm to the amount of 8,4771. The ease for the prosecution being closed, Mr. POLTLDEN addressed the jury for the prisoner, and commented in strong terms on the conduct of Mr. James Kemp Welsh, contending that it was clear that he had given an authority to Bishop to fill up the lOU in question, and that it was impossible for them to say to what length that authority went. They were mixed up in railway speculations together, and this I 0 U was given to Bishop as a security for advances made to Welsh; as it was Welsh of course had the greatest in terest to show that he had not given the prisoner liberty to fill up the I 0 U in the way he had done, for if that authority was admitted, the bank of which he was a partner was liable for the 8,4771. Mr. Baron PLATT, in summing up, commented severely on the conduct of Mr. Welsh, but at the same time stated to the jury that it did seem improbable that Mr. Welsh should give the prisoner unlimited authority to fill up the I 0 U for any sum he pleased. If they be lieved Mr. Welsh, that he gave no authority to the pri soner to fill up the I 0 U, they must find him guilty. The jury, after a few minutes' consideration, found a verdict of Not Guilty. This case lasted until eleven o'clock at ni,ght. March 4. This morning the prisoner way brought up and sen tenced to twelve months' imprisonment on the conviction for the embezzlement. SOUTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Swansca, 111.irch 4. MURDER AT CARDIFF.—CONVICTION OF S EVEN PRI SONERS.—John Griffiths, alias " Swansea Jack," Alex ander Thomas, alias " Alex the Devil;" Maria Meyrich, single woman; and Bridget Kelly, were indicted for the wilful murder of William Morrison; and James Jones, Alfred Burrows, and Mary Williams, were also charged with having aided and abetted in the commission of the crime. Messrs. Benson and Grove prosecuted; Mr. Allen de fended the prisoner Burrows. From a mass of evidence adduced in support of the prosecution, it appeared that the deceased entered Car diff with his wife, sister, and two children, on the eve ning of October 28. Being strangers to the place, and not in very premising circumstances, they had some difficulty in obtaining lodging-t. At length, liowever, they were taken in by a p. , acetibly- disposed tnarr:ed woman, Mrs. Morgan, residing in Whitrnore•lane. On the evening of the 30th they were somewhat alarmed by a great disturbance in the street, near the door; and Mr. Morgan having gone out a short time previuus l y, Mrs. Morgan was in fear lest he should be hurt. A cry of murder was then raised as if under the window of the house, and Mrs. Morgan immediately proceeded with a lighted candle to the street door, to ascertain what was the matter. On opening the door the prisoner Meyrick snatched the candlestick from her hand, and struck her, at the same time asking her with an oath, why she brought the light out ? After- considerable difficulty Mrs. Morgan contrived to get back into the house, but the disturbance increasing, and entertaining her previous fears, she a second time appeared at the door. The moment she presented herself the females Meyrick and Kelly seized upon her by the hair of her head, and threatened her immediate death. Sh e cried for help, and the deceased being the only male in the house, rushed to her aid. There were several per. sons round the doorway, and Mrs. Morgan was strug gling on the ground with three of the females at the bar, Meyrick, Kelly, and Williams. The deceased leaned over her for the purpose of lifting her up, when Mey rick seized him by the hair of his head with one hand and his neckerchief with the other. Kelly also catching him by his hair. In this dreadful suffering the poor man endeavoured to rescue his landlady. When Griffiths and Thomas, in the most brutal manner, kicked him in the side. He reeled along the passage, and in a second or so fell dead. His wife ran to his aid and raised his head, but life was quite extinct. Having laid his head on her apron, the prisoner Kelly rushed at her, and said," You I'll serve you as they have served your husband." She managed to escape from her fury. Several wit nesses identified the prisoner as being concerned in the commission of the outrage. The disturbance in the first instance appeared to have originated in a fight between the prisoners and some sailors. The cruel attack on Mrs. Morgan seemed :o have been from no other cause than her brirging out a lighted candle and exposing the parties who were creating the disturbance to the police if they were any way near. Messrs. Paine and Jenkins, surgeons, deposed to the blows inflicted by the kicks having produced immediate death. Counsel having addressed the jury for the prisoner Burrows, the Learned Judge (Williams) summed up at considerable length, and pointed out the evidence as it bore upon the different prisoners. The jury retired for an hour and a half to consider their verdict. They found John Griffiths, Alexander Thomas, Maria Meyrick, and Bridget Kelly, guilty of manslaughter; and James Jones, Alfred Burrows, and Mary Williams, guilty of aiding and abetting in the commission of that crime.—Sentence deferred. At Swansea, on Tuesday, John Lloyd, aged 25, and Richard Mahony, aged 27, were indicted for having assaulted Charles Bowring, and feloniously and violently stolen from his person coin and bank-notes of the value of 1,0001. The prisoners pleaded Guilty. Evan Evans, aged 38, a weaver, and Richard Thomas, aged 26, a woollen spinner, were next indicted for felo niously receiving a portion of the LOON., well knowing it to have been stolen. A great number of witnesses' were examined, and the jury returned a ♦erdict of Guilty against both prisoners, recommending Richard Thomas to mercy. The LEARNED JUDGE sentenced John Lloyd and Richard Mahony to be transported for the term of their natural lives. Evan Evans was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment, and Richard Thomas to bix months' imprisonment, with hard labour. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice ERLE .) William Edwards, 36, described as a cattle dealer, was on Saturday indicted for feloniously forging an endorse• meat on a bill of exchange for 251., with intent to de fraud Francis EdwarcUrticker; and Charlotte Edwards, his mother, was indicted fir harbouring and maintaining him, knowing that he had committed the forgery. An other person, named Mary Ann Underwood, was also charged as a ptincipal, bat she did not appear to take her trial. Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Parry was for the prisoners. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor was a Mr. Butt, a solicitor at Ryde, and he was concerned for a lady named Charsley, residing at Brompton•cres cent, and was in the habit of remitting to her sums of money to which she was entitled as interest. On Jan. 23 he sent her a bill, drawn by the Hampshire Banking Company upon Messrs. Jones Loyd and Co , for the sum mentioned, in favour of Miss Charsley, payable ten days after that date. By some accident it would seem that the letter was sent to the house of the female prisoner, in Brompten-square, and which it was stated was of a disreputable character, and it appeared that it got into the possession of Underwood, one of the inmates, who assumed the name of Charsley. Very soon afterwards 'the bill came into the possession of the male prisoner, who took it to Mr. Tucker to be discounted, and, on his remarking that it must be endorsed by Mi ss Ch ars l ey , he took it away, and brought it again very soup after wards with the name Mary Anne Charsley written across it, Inquiries were subsequently made, which led DIED.

BEWDLEY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.) Edward Price, an elector of Bewdley, residing at Stourport, stated that on the Monday previous to the election a fly was sent to Stourbridge to bring himself and his wife to Mr. Carter's :house, about a mile from the town of Bewdley. While they remained there everything they wished was brought to them from an inn at Bewdley, and sometimes they had as much as two bottles of brandy a day. On the Tuesday his wife wanted some few articles, and in the evening a dress, some stuff to make caps, and two handkerchiefs were given to her. After that he expressed some doubts as to what he was to get for his vote, in consequence of which Mr. Ireland called upon him, and agreed to give him 151. for the vote. On the night before the election he was taken to the George Inn at Bewdley, and 'coked up in a room along with other voters. They had plenty to eat and drink all night, and the next morning they had a capital breakfast before they went to poll. He voted for Mr. Ireland, and immediately afterwards Mr. Banks took him to a private room and gave him three 51. notes. The Committee adjourned at four o'clock till eleven o'clock on Monday morning. CARLISLE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.) At the close of Mr. Head's evidence it was discovered that the other witnesses for the sitting Member were not present, and at the request of counsel the Committee adjourned the case till Monday.

FATAL ACCID ENT ON THE CASHEL RAILWAY. — A melancholy a( wident occurred on Sunday between Ballybrophy and I Enocknahaugh. In the latter place an immense abyss ha a for some months baffled the utmost efforts of the ongir leers, and labourers are employed every day in the week iit an attempt to fill it up. A number of " lorreys," or timber wales, were on the rail on Mon day, and the tim' Jer being unfastened, the beams upset, and two brother s , who had been sitting on them, were cast with terrific; -force upon the line and instantly killed —Dublin Pilot THE TOWN' COUNCIL AND RAILWAY. —We are glad to observe that the town council have at length coma to the wis e resolution of not going to Parliament to dissipate the it funds in a contest with the North Bri tish Railway. That body and the above railway com pany have, tv the credit of both, and much to their mutual advantage, re solved to submit their differences to the final arbitrero ant of the Lord Provost and John Lear month, &cf., the chairman of the company.--Caledonian Mercury. to the apprehension of the male prisoner, when he ad mitted the share he had taken in the transaetionyhtt denied that there was any guilty knowledge on his part, asserting that the bill bad been given to him by Miss Underwood, who represented it had been given to her by a Captain Butt for her favours, and that he got it discounted at her request. The evidence against the female prisoner was, that when the police went to the house to inquire after Miss Underwood, or Miss Chars ley, as she represented herself, she made some false statements, and by that means was enabled to abscond. The jury Acquitted the male prisoner, and found the woman Guilty of harbouring Underwood.—Sentence was deterred. THIRD COURT (Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK and Mr. Alderman FINNIS.) BlGlAMT.—Elizabeth Vickery alias Cosine, a very good-looking young woman, was indicted for having fe loniously intermarried with James Cosins, her husband, William Vickery, being alive. The prisoner's sister, who seemed much affected, Was called to prove the first marriage, which took place, she said, at St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, in the summer of Mt, the prisoner at that time being but 15 years old. The witness said that she saw William Vickery, to whom the prisoner was married, a day or two before the present sessions. _ _ James Cosins stated that he lived in Short's-gardens, 1)rur•?-lane. The prisoner went to live with him as housekeeper under the representation that she was single woman. They afterwards cohabited together, and, after living in that manner for ten months, they were married some short time ago in St. Martin's•in-tbe Fields. About three weeks after the marriage they se• parated, and the prisoner went to live in a neighbouring street. The prisoner had, prior to that, but subse quently to their marriage, told him that she had been a married woman, and that her husband had died, but that she afterwards denied, and said she was divorced from him. lie made inquiries, and the result was hiS giving her into custody on the present charge. The prisoner asked Mr. Cosins the cause of their separation?—The witness answered it was because she became immoderately addicted to drinking. 'rho prisoner denied this, and said that she volnn• tarily left Cosins on account of his brutal conduct to wards her. In her defence the prisoner said she had been married at the age of fifteen to Vickery, who soon afterwards left her, and she had not seen or heard of him for ten years. After the intimacy between her and Cosins bad begun, and while he was pressing her to marry him, she went to Norwich to evade him, but he followed her and renewed his proposals with unflagging assiduity. At length, as her friends at Norwich assured her that her fist marriage was not good, as she had not seen or heard of her husband for above seven 3 ears, she agreed to marry Cosins, who knew perfectly well at that time that she w.Js married to Vickery, and that she did not know whether he was dead or alive. They were married but she left, him on account of his brutality. The prisoner's sister, in answer to the COURT, stated that she was in the habit of seeing Vickery twice or thrice a week since he had married the prisoner. The Learned COMMISSIONER told the jury that the law relative to this offence was, that a married person was at liberty to marry again, providing they had never seen nor heard of each other for seven years, as then they were entitled to presume that each other were dead. la this case the prisoner stated that she had not heard of or sees Vickery, her first husband, for ten years; but it was for the jury to say whether the prisoner's sister, con stantly seeing Vickery, was not pretty good evidence that the prisoner knew that he was alive. The prisoner was found Guilty. Mr. Cosiss hoped his Lordship would treat her le. niently. The Learned COMMISSIONER said the crime of bigamy was a very grave one, both as regarded morality and the well-being of society. The prisoner was then sentenced to twelve months' hard labour. • John Smith Grant, 37, having pleaded guilty to an in• dictment for bigamy, was sentenced to twelve months' hard labour. SPEEDY JUSTICE.—Mary 111‘Cormack was convicted of stealing 2s. 6d. from the person of a blacksmith na med Tagoroni. This offence was committed at a publfc•house in Poppin's court, on Friday afternoon, about two o'clock, and at three the prisoner was in Newgate, she having been taken to the station-house, thence to the Guildhall Police Court, where she was committed for trial, and before half-past three the grand jury had pre sented a true bill against her for the felony. She wits sentenced to four months' hard labour. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, MARCH 4.

PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY. - The Brighton and South Coast Company's steam•packet Brighton arrived at Portsmouth from Havre de Grace, on Saturday evening, at a quarter to seven o'clock, having left Havre at a quarter to one that day. She brought the last news from Havre, which was very unpromising, and fifty passengers, six of them cabin -passengers ; the others were English and Scotch •workmen from the factories at Rouen, driven from their looms and resi dences by the French workmen, who threatened them with death if they did not leave. They appear in a pitiable condition, and remained on board the steam boat at Portsmouth yesterday, at the expense of the company, who did not like to turn them on shore with out clothes, food. or money, or a place to go to.
