DEANS, Registrar of Bank *hums. stamps and Taxes, November 25, 1848. 47,276 9,629 3,724 FRANCE. The following is a full report of the Ministerial explanations on the subject of the treatment of the Spanish refugees, given in Wednesday's sitting of the Assembly : At two o'clock, M. Corbon, Vice-President, took the chair, when M. Joly ascended the tribune to address questions to the Ministry relative to the affairs of Spain. M. Joly said that he had been charged by Spanish refugees to lay their grievances before the National As sembly. Immediately after the revolution of February, the Spanish Government sent to Berlin a Minister Plenipotentiary, General Zarco del Valle, to offer the co-operation of Spain in the event of the formation of a new coalition 'against France. On arriving at Paris the General heard that a revolution was imminent at Berlin, and having consulted his Go vernment he was instructed to proceed on his mission, but to report that his object was to examine certain fortifications. General Zarco del Valle was well received at the Prussian Court, and having delivered his message, he succeeded in prevailing on Frederick William IV. to recognise the sovereignty of the Queen of Spain, which result he could not otherwise have ob tained. The French Government was well aware of the real nature of his mission; but instead of resenting the hostility of Spain, it gays her a mark of friendship, by appointing Charge d'Affaires in Madrid M. de Lesseps, who, as Consul of France at Barce lona, participated in the two reactionary move ments which took place in that city. Since then a new cordial understanding commenced between the Spanish and French Governments, and it soon became so intimate that the latter stationed on the frontier a special commissary, named Labridre, who had filled the same functions under the Ministry of M. Thiers. The duty of that functionary was to watch the intrigues against the Queen's Government, and to remove into the interior of France the Progressista or Republican ene mies of her Catholic Majesty. That functionary had made himself the agent, and he could add the accomplice, of the wholesale murders perpetrated of late at the other side of the Pyrenees. He had repaired to Figue ras and Puycerda, on the Spanish territory, to concert measures with the Catalonian authorities. It was owing to his exertions that M. Escosura and two Spanish officers were arrested and conducted to the citadel of Perpignan. M. Escosura was formerly a member of the Spanish Cabinet, and being hostile to General Narvaez had been apprehended and confined in the fort of St. Marguerite, at Cadiz, until the departure of a vessel, which was to transport him to the Philippine Islands. M. Escosura escaped and sought refuge on board a French vessel, which safely landed him in France. The papers found in his possession were transmitted to the Spanish Ambassador, in Paris, who forwarded them to Barcelona. On receipt of those documents, three Cap tains of the Spanish army were arrested at Barcelona, tried by court-martial, sentenced to death, and executed. The Cabinet of the Republic, he regretted to say, fol lowed towards Spain precisely the same line of policy as its predecessor under the monarchy. The other fact denounced by M. Joly referred to the revolt of 69 re cruits and deserters, embarked on board a vessel at Santander, who brought the vessel into Pauillac. After being detained there prisoners for some time, they were delivered up to the Spanish Consul of Bordeaux, who sent them back to Santander, where they have been sen tenced by court-martial to the galleys. M. Joly trusted that the Minister for Foreign Affairs would be able to reply satisfactorily to those two charges. M. Ras , ide, Minister for Foreign Affairs, said that M. Lesseps bad been appointed Charg6 d'Affaires at Madrid by M. Lamartine, on account of his noble con duct at Barcelona during the bombardment of 1843. As regarded the charge of following the policy of the pre ceding Government, he replied that, in his opinion, it was the interest of France to have no distinct policy in Spain. Ever since Louis XIV. a system of intrigue hal been pursued with respect to that country, which he reproved. Ile followed the directions laid down by M. Lamartine, which consisted in countenancing no party or lottery in Spain, and maintaining relations with her founded on mutual sympathy and fraternity. As re spected the documents alluded to by X Joly, and which were said to have served to convict three officers at Barcelona, the accusation was totally unfounded. The refugees, whose names were mentioned, had, it was true, been arrested, because they were conspiring on the French territory against the Queen's Government, and their papers seized. Those papers had been sent up to Paris, and he had refused to commu nicate them to the Spanish Ambassador. They had been placed under seals by his orders; they still remained unopened, and had been read by nobody, not even by himself. He affirmed it on his honour. M. Dutaure, Minister of the Interior, replied, that peace existing between France and Spain imposed upon both duties which France could not refuse to fulfil. If, after the revolution of February, no precautionary measures had been adopted on the Spanish frontier, it was because the Queen had granted an amnesty which permitted the refugees to return to their coun try. But, when it was ascertained that the am nesty was not general, France, in virtue of the principles of the law of nations, took measures to disperse the bodies of refugees who assembled on the frontiers in order to invade the country, and seized the arms and ammunition they had collected on different points foy that purpose. M. Ledru Rollin had been the first - to order those measures, and his con duct had been subsequently imitated by his successors, Messrs. Recurt and Senart. It was the latter who ap pointed the Special Commissary, M. Labrihre, on the 25th September last, for the surveillance of the six fron tier departments, and who gave him the necessary in structions. M. Dufaure then read two circulars ad. l dressed by him to the frontier authorities, reminding them of the obligations they owed a friendly nation, and recommending them impartiality and mod er ati on . M. Escosura had been removed to Chaumont, on his arrival in France. M. Escosura subsequently asked to be al lowed to proceed to the south of France. His demand was acceded to, but he was forbidden to reside in any of the frontier departments. M. Escosura paid no at tention to the prohibition, and repaired to Perpignan, where he opened relations with the disaffected on the other side of the frontier. M. Escosura was arrested and his papers were seized and forwarded to the Ministry of the Interior. M. Dufaure, considering them a mere depot placed in his hands, never opened them. A few days ago he had delivered them to the Minister of Fo reign Affairs, who brought them back to him the even ing before, unopened, as he had received them. Those papers had neither been seen nor touched by the Spanish Ambassador, and they could not consequently have served to convict the three officers shot atßarcelona.With regard to the schooner Montanesa, brought into Pauillac by 69 soldiers, who had forcibly seized the vessel, this affair had occurred before his accession to the Ministry. But the documents he had found in that department proved that his predecessor had acted as he should have done himself under similar circumstances. Those refugees had not landed on the French territory; they were on board a Spanish vessel, and France had no control over them. M. Dufaure, in conclusion, maintained that France could not suffer civil war to be organized in her territory against a friendly power, and would con tinue to fulfil the duties imposed upon her by inter national laws. The utmost moderation, however, was recommended to the French authorities, and many re fugees were even allowed to reside on the frontier. M. Salamanca had applied for leave to remain eight days at Pau. M. Dufaure had consented to it, provided he re turned immediately to Paris. M. Salamanca, however, had not kept his word, and was still at Bayonne. M. Joly replied that the Minister of the Interior and Foreign Affairs might not have opened 'or read the papers seized on by M. E scosura an d his ;or but that M. Labrilre had not been influenced by the same scruples, and must have taken copies of them, for the sentence of the court-martial stated in po sitive terms that the documents, which served to con vict the three officers, had been deciphered, thanks to the key found among the papers of a central junta that met in France. M. Joly asked M. Dufaure if he could pledge himself for the morality of M. La briAre, and if he was aware of his having been concerned in a fraudulent musket contract with the notorious Vidocq, for which he had been tried by the Court of Correctional Police. M. Senart, former Minister of the Interior, said that on the 25th of September he had appointed a special commissary on the Pyrenean frontier, whom he had in , structed to exercise a close surveillance in the six adjoin ing departments, and to oppose all facts contrary to the law of nations. He then explained the part he had taken in the affair of the Montancsa, and the incident having terminated, the Assembly commenced the discussion on the estimates of the naval department. EXTRA ORDINARY ELOPEMENT. One of the most extraordinary cases of elopement that has probably ever been heard of is at this present time engaging the attention of the public in Preston and the surrounding districts, and proves that "love laughs at locksmiths," for in the present instance it broke through iron bars, removed bolts and fastenings, and scorned the eye and strict surveillance of the keepers of a lunatic asylum. On Saturday se'nnight the village of Chorley, usually so quiet, undisturbed, and unexcited, except by every day occurrences, was thrown into a state of extraor dinary commotion by the following romantic adventure: About two years ago, Dr. J. Seed obtained a license for opening his residence as a private lunatie asylum, and he received as a patient a young lady, about 23 years of age, named Elizabeth Dune, and daughter of the late Captain Dune, of Astley Hall, near Manchester. She was considered to be of unsound mind, and incapable of taking care of herself or property. The latter, it is stated, was about 3,0001. a year. Some time back, a groom, named Ellis Norris, laid siege to the heart of the cook at Brough Hall, where his master used frequently to visit, but, finding that he was not so warmly received as he had anticipated he would be, he transferred his affections to Miss Durie, whom he frequently saw looking out of the winnows whilst he was waiting for his master. When he found that he could treat with her, that her heart beat responsively, and her eyes "looked love to eyes that spoße again," he plied his suit, and sola for twelve months he has continued to visit and byacpeplt)ihitenigni,mapndreiisasuotshneeadtheoevairip..giaplinet.. glimmer This he of managedthe moon, t o do a At lengt_haave ladd er to her window , and, on taking leave of her, con cealingkid weeks.

He re plied "To marry you, most certainly, as he would play the fool to no lady." He then offered her his arm, but she replied, " No, you shall not run away with me, but I will run away with you." Near the bridge a ve hicle was waiting for them by a fellow-servant of Norris, and on entering they urged their flight to the Boar's Head, near Wigan, and, in order to evade detection, they got out of the vehicle and passed on foot through the tollgate. U pon reaching Wa rr i ng t on , th e y o bt a i ne d a horse and chaise, and got to Chester, and on Sunday morning they were married at St. Oswald's Church, both parties being described as of Liverpool. The wedding day passed away, and information of the journey had now reached the ears of the police. Sergeant Hetherington, of Standish, was dispatched after and surprised them on Monday, soo n a ft er b rea kf ast h our , at their private lodgings in Chester. He took the lady into custody, according to the instructions he had re ce i ve d, and told Norris he might follow if he chose. They re turned together to Chorley when Mr. Seed gave orders for Norris to be also taken into custody. On Tuesday he was bailed out, and hundreds of people thronged the streets of Chorley, all on the qz!i vine, and anxious to hear the cause tried before the magistrates, who met about one o'clock in the afternoon. The prisoner was charged before the magistrates with breaking into Mr. Seed's dwelling -house for an unlawful purpose, and stealing Miss Elizabeth Thule, from motives of lucre, to marry her, she ha v i ng th en an i nterest i n real and personal estate. No evidence being offered, the prisoner was discharged. Norris then demanded his wife, but the Bench said they had nothing to do with her, and the Chairman said he did not know that he had got one. The fair fugitive —now Mrs. Norris—was taken back to the asylum, and the last reports described her as bein g lik e a cage d dove without its mate. Upon leaving the police-station Norris was loudly cheered by the populace, and flags were hoisted to greet him with welcome when he arrived at Chorley-moor. He told the people he was determined to get back his wife, let the consequences be ever so dreadful. _ _ _ There will, no doubt, be some further inquiry into this extraordinary occurrence.—Preston Guardian. The Manchester Guardian states, on " unquestionable authority," that instead of 3,0001. a year, Miss Durie has no fortune whatever of her own. With regard to the lady's insanity, the same paper states that s h e was placed in the institution on the certificate of two leading physicians of the county. A GENUINE YANKEE. "Hallo, my good friend, can you inform me how far it is to the next house?" Jonathan started up, leaned on his boo handle, rested one foot on the gambril of his sinister leg, and replied, "Hallo, yourself 1 how'd dew? We'll, I guess I can. 'Taint near as far as it used to be afore they cut the woods away; then it was generally reckoned four mile; but now the sun shrivels up the road, and don't make it more'n tew. The fust house you come to, though, is a barn, and the next is a hay stack; but old Hoskins's house is on beyont. You'll be sure to meet his gals long before you get there; tarnal romping critters, they plague our folks more'n a little. His sheep git into our orchards. Dad sets the dog arter the sheep and me arter the gals, and the way he makes the wool, and I the petticoats fly, is a sin to snakes." " I see you are inclined to be facetious, young man; pray tell me how it happens that one of your legs is shorter than another?" " I never 'lows anybody to meddle with my grass tanglers, mister ; but, seein' it's you, I'll tell you. I was born so at my tickerler request, so that when I hold a plough I can go with one foot in the furrer and t'other on the land, and not lop over; besides, it's conve nient when I mow round a side bill." " Very goo d, ' indeel • how do your potatoes come on this year ?" " Tneydon't come on at all, I digs 'em out; and there's an everlasting snarl of 'em in each hill." " But they are small, I perceive." " Yes ; I know it. You see we planted some whoppin' blue noses over in that ere patch there, and they fluurished so all-tiredly that these stopt growin' out of spite, 'cause they knowed they couldn't begin to keep up." " You appear to be pretty smart, and I should think you could afford a better hat than you wear." "The looks ain't nothin't it's all in the behaviour.

"You've been in these parts some time, I should guess? " " I guess so, tew. I was born'd and got my brot'n up in that ere house, but my native place is Por dunck." " Then you say it is about three and a halt miles to the nest house?' " Yes, sir, 'twas a spell ago, and I don't believe it's grow'd much shorter since." " Much obliged ; good bye. " LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BEIVCII,_Nov.3O. :Sittings at Nisi Pills, before Lord Chief Justice DEN. MAN and Common Juries.) necABE cc LORD HARLEY. _ _ This was an action upon a bill of exchange for the sum of 3001., accepted by the defendant. The only plea on the record was a denial of the acceptance. Mr. HayEs called a witness, who said that the ac. ceptance was in the handwriting of Lord Harley. The witness had received several letters from Lord Harley upon money matters, to which he had replied, and in other ways acted on them ; but he had never seen his Lordship. Lord DENMAN said this evidence was not sufficient ; there was nothing to connect the writer with the de fendant. The witness then stated that he had written to Lord Harley in the Queen's Prison, and that he had received answers from him dated from that place. Another witness was then called, who said that he had served the writ in the action upon the defendant in the Queen's Prison ; and that, having asked for Lord Har ley, he was at once shown to his room. Lord DEN MAN then said that he should leave that evidence to the jury, who appeared satisfied with it, and immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff for 3001. B•ITTEASBY V. RUSSELL. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Lush appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Cockburn, Q.c., and Mr. Hill for the defendant. This action was brought to recover damages for slander, spoken of the plaintiff by the defendant, who pleaded the general issue. The plaintiff was the keeper of a public-house at Turnham-green, called the Prince of Wales ; and the defendant was the head gardener of Mr. Lumley, of the Italian Opera• house, and also was said to be the owner of four houses in Great Wyld-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. It appeared from the evidence given by the plaintiff's witnesses, that on the 7th of February last a person of the name of Athlick had been drinking at the plaintiff's house for some hours, and lett at seven o'clock on the evening of that day. From that time he was not seen again until ' his body was found, on the 10th of March, floating in the river Thames, near to the defendant's garden wall. The body having been found was taken to the Cannon public-house, where it was identified by the defendant as the body of his friend, Athlick. On the same day a policeman, named Scotney, and another man, named Bullock, having been to view the body in an outhouse, returned into the par lour of the public-house. They there saw the defen dant, who said that Battersby, th e pl a i n tiff, IA as in the habit of drugging his liquors for the purpose of stup!- fying people, in order had they might b o ro bbed in his house, and that ho had no doubt that the deceased had been served in that way. lie added, that he had been so drugged himself, and that he knew two or three in stances of the sort, where people had been drugged in the plaintiff's house. Ile also said that the plaintiff's was a bad house, and it was a bad lot that used it. It was also proved that the defendant had volunteered similar expressions on two other occasions (once before the deputy-coroner, and that ho had given instructions to the police, which had led them to watch the plain tiff's house several days in plain clothes. Evidence was then given that the plaintiff had kept the public-house in question for a period of twenty years (and his father before him), and that no charge had ever been made as to the manner in which his business had been conducted. It was proved, also, that the defendant had said that he had received a letter from Lady Montagu, in which her Ladyship, in whose service the defendant had been, had given him directions not to spare any expense in finding out what had become of the deceased; and also that she would bear him harm less if an action should be brought for what he had said. Mr. COCKBURN addressed thn jury for the defendant, and said that he could not attempt to justify the lan guage which had been proved to have been used by the defendant, but he trusted that they would make some allowance for the excited feelings under which the de fendant had spoken. The defendant had not been ac tuated by any feeli ng o f malice against the plaintiff, but had become much excited by the disappearance of his former pupil under those circumstances. The Learned Counsel entirely e xcu lp a t e d the plaintiff from any impu tation upon his character. Lord DENMAN briefly summed up the case to the jury, who retired for a short time, and on their return into court gave a verdict for the plaintiff, with 75/. d amages. In our report yesterday of, the, case of " Osterman 1,. Bateman," the leading Counsel for the defendant was by mistake stated as Mr. James, Q.C., instead of Mr, Gurney, Q.C. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, Nov. 30. (Sittings in Error.) (Present—Barons PARKE, ALDERSON, ROLFE, and PLATT; and Justices PATTESON, COLERIDGE, WIGHT MAN, and ERLE.) This Court to-day took errors from the Court of Com mon Pleas. GIBBS V. FLIGHT. Upon this case being called on, Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD said this'case would stand over with a view to an arrangement. IvARLEY V. TIEALEY. This was an action brought against Mr. Wakky for libels inserted in the Lancet, reflecting upon Mr. Healey, the editor of the Medical 7 inies. The case was tried in the Court of Common Pleas, and a verdict was found for the plaintiff, with 40s. damages. Mr. Waltley then brought a writ of error upon the pleadings. ➢lr. Ilita.mwELL, for the plaintiff in error, contended on the first count that the words " desperate adventu turers," which it was alleged had reference to the plain tiff, were not actionable. The COURT, however, said that the jury had found the words intended to apply to the pluintiff, and it Was a question of fact for them. The first count, therefore, was goud. As to the second count, the words were these,—" We need not here dwell upon the impolicy of the connexion between the present agitation and the National Insti tute, a body which has ,disgusted the Government, and with other persons not belonging to the profession, and whos© weekly voc a ti on i t i s to b r i ng ever ything belong nig to the profession into disrepute and contempt." The Learned COUN SEL conten d e d that there was 1:10- thing in this language to connect the plaintiff below with the persons who were stated to have this " weekly vocation." The COURT said it was a very ungrammatical sentence, and was difficult to be understood, but eventually time was taken for the consideration of this count. The third count spoke of a quack mountebank. Mr. BRAMWELL urged that there was not a sufficient inuendo in this count. The COURT, however, thought that count would do. The fourth count spoke of the plaintiff as a " briefless quack secretary." The COURT held that count to be good. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, that two names were used in that count, namely, those of Joseph Ady and Ikey Solomons. The Court did not know but what they might be the most respectable persons in the world. All the Court would say would be, that it would not, take judicial notice of them. - Mr. DEARSLEY addressed the Court in support of the second count. Mr. Baron PARKE then said they were all of opinion that all the counts were good, but the second, and, with regard to that count, not being all agreed, they would take time for consideration. SHERIFFS' COURT, Nov. 30. ROBERTS V. POCOCK. This was an action to recover damages for trespass. Mr. WARELING, solicitor to the plaintiff, stated the case, by which it appeared that the plaintiff had been a tenant to the defendant of a cottage in Pocock's-fields, Islington, a place of painful notoriety as being the scene of the murder of Mr. Templeman a few years since. The defendant, it appears, was anxious to obtain possession of the premises, and gave notice to quit, but which not being legel, plaintiff continued to hold possession till de fendant sent labourers and pulled the cottage down and destroyed the garden, &c. The defendant at first pleaded a justification, but having withdrawn the plea, the present was an inquiry to assess damages. Two witnesses were examined, who proved the above facts. In mitigation of damages Mr. Ring contended that the defendant had let the land originally on the terms, that if at auy time the landlord required the land for any other purpose, the tenants were to quit at six months' notice, with an allowance of a year's rent. The plsin tiff had refused to so leave, the consequence of which was, that the defendant forcibly took possession. The UNDER-SHERIFF told the jury that the only question was, what damages was the plaintiff to receive for the wrong the defendant admitted having done. The damages were assessed at 501. _ POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. William Day, of No. 3, Eaton-street, New-cut, Lam beth, was fistilly examined on the charge of breaking into the premises of Mr. Reed, working jeweller, of No. 38, Fetter-lane, and stealing therefrom a variety of trinkets and other articles. Sir C. MARSHALL committed him for trial, and, the depositions being made out, he was conveyed to Newgate. BOW-STREET. John Adams, a scavenger, was charged with sweeping road-soil into a common sewer in Museum-street. The inspector of nuisances for that district stated, that he was in the sewer, when he heard the dirt and rubbish falling into it. He immediately went to ascer tain the cause of it, and discovered the defendant iu the act of sweeping the granite slush into the drain—a prac tice which was commonly indulged in by scavengers, who frequently cleared a whole street by this means before the shops were open in the morning. Very recently a sewer in Oxford-street was filled up nearly to the sum mit by an accumulation of dirt, which had become wholly immovable by water. The defendant said the rain had sot it running, and he could not help it. Mr. HALL fined him 405., remarking that the prac tice was a very general and a very abominable one; and that the punishment, if the case had been presented to him under the new Sanitary Act, would have been much severer. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Jonathan Scott, cab-driver, was summoned before Mr. Bingham, at the instance of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for having wantonly ill-treated a horse. Sir William Abdy stated that he was at the window of White's Club-house, in St. James's -street, when he saw the defendant suddenly rush out of the ranks and begin 1 fishing his horse on the legs and knees with vio lence. The defendant then lashed the horse over the head, and finally took the butt-end of his whip and beat the wretched animal over the head with great force. tie (Sir ‘Villiarn) went out and remonstrated with the brutal driver, and then communicated the circumstance to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who immediately instituted the present proceeding. The only defence set up was that the horse would not go out ( t the rank quick enough to take up a fare. The defendant lashed his horse, and the horse backed and kicked, and as the only cure for kicking was to beat the horse about the head, he had certainly used the handle of his whip as described. A witness was called who said the defendant was plied to take up a fare, when the horse became restive. Mr. MINGIIA.II fined the defendant 3s. and costs 2s. MARYLEBONE. James Hayward, alias Chamberlain, was brought be fore Mr. Long for final examination, on the chaate of having committed numerous railway robberies. Mr. Collard, Superintendent of the Great Western Railway Company's police, attended during the inquiry, and much interest was excited, in consequence of a re port having been circulated to the effect that some cases of magnitude against the prisoner would probably be brought forward. The evidence gone into upon former occasions went to show that the prisoner was first taken into custody at the Paddington terminus on the 16th of November, by Sergeant Brooker, one of the company's officers at the Paddington station, who stopped him as he was making his egress from the premises with a portmanteau, the property of Mr. James Montague, a passenger by an express train, and which had been stolen by him (pri soner) from the platform; it contained wearing apparel, &c., of the value of 251.; it was also shown that through the exertions of Mr. Collard and Linden (the latter a detective officer employed at the terminus) a second robbery was made out against the accused, who it was proved had stolen a carpet-bag belonging to Mr. Slade, a gentleman residing at Talbach, in Glamor ganshire, and which had in it some linen ; he missed the bag upon his arrival at Bristol from Pad dington, and which, with some of its contents, was found by Mr. Collard to have been pledged in Bath. The prisoner was committed upon the two charges above alluded to, but was ordered to be brought up again with the view of:affording time for additional inquiry; Linden having discovered at the lodgings of the prisoner in Somers-town another corpet-bag, together with seve ral duplicates for articles pawned. Yesterday another charge was made against the pri soner by Mr. Alfred Goslett, residing at Stock, near In gatestone, Essex. He deposed that on the 13th Novem ber he travelled from Ingatestone by a train on the Eastern Counties Railway, having with him a portman teau and two carpet-bags, and that on his arrival at the Shoreditch station one of his bags was missing. Linden produced a carpet-bag, which, with some ar ticles therein, was identified by Mr. Goslett. Some shirts, &c., belonging to him were also produced by a pawnbroker, and a knowledge as to what had become of them was arrived at through the duplicates which were taken from the prisoner's room. The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was - fully corn mitted for trial upon three separate charges. WESTMINSTER. Sarah Walter, aged 32, a good-looking woman, de scribed as a servant, was placed at the bar before;Mr. Burrell, charged with the wilful murder of her child. The prisoner, against whom a coroner's jury pro nounced a verdict of " Wilful Murder" a few days ago, has bees since that period an inmate of Ratcliff Work house, whence she was brought to this court yesterday morning by Sergeant Foay, of the H division. She was assisted into the dock, apparently in a very weak state, and throughout the examination exhibited the deepest emotion. Mr. Bloxham, a witness, said, forming an opinion upon the evidence, I should say the quantity of lauda num alone stated to have been given the child would be sufficient to cause death, and I think that exposure to cold through a winter's night would be sufficient to cause death. The exposure to cold for a night might un doubtedly cause the appearance I have observed in the brain. I remember that the temperature of the air on the night previous to my examination of the body was very keen. Mr. BURRELL having asked the accused what sho had to say, she replied in a faint voice—"l wish to say I did not give it all the stuff; I took part myself. I wish you to have mercy on me. It was not my intention; far from it. I could not have known. what I was doing, or I would not have done it." Mr. BURRELL said it was hii duty to commit her for trial upon this very serious charge at the Central Cri minal Court. The wretched woman was then assisted from the dock, where it had been found necessary in the course of the examination to hand her a glass of water. SOUTHIVAI?K. Thomas Masterman, a tradesman in Parker's-row, Bermondsey, was charged with committing a violent as sault on John Thomas Colsey, whereby his life was con sidered in danger. The complainant said, he was agent to a gentleman, and collected his rents for houses situated in Bermond sey; that the defendant was one of his tenants, and on the morning of the 10th inst. he called upon him for some rent. Witness had to ascend through a trap-door to get to the workshop of the defendant, who, on se e i ng h im, said that he was prepared to pay what was due, and desired complainant to write out a receipt for the money. He then placed the writing materials on a bench, a n d complainant was in the act of stooping down to write when he received a dreadful blow with some instrument on the head with such force as to knock him down the trap-door, where he lay insensible, covered with blood, and he was afterwards conveyed home; and, Owing to the serious nature of the injuries inflicted, he was unable to leave his home until that day. The clerk said that two certificates had been sent to the court; the first described that the complainant's life was in danger; the second, however, gave hopes of his ultimate recovery. A solicitor proceeded to cross-examine the complain ant, to show that the assault was not committed with any instrument, but with the fist, and that the defendant re ceived much provocation before he had recourse to such an alternative. The complainant, however, adhered to the accuracy of his evidence, and Mr. SECKER said that the charge was of too serious a nature for him to decide upon summarily ; ho should send it before a jury. The defendant was therefore committed. Why should a man Lot marry a woman na Ellen ?...13ecauso by doin g so he rings his own Nell, med NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. SIR C.

THE LATE FATAL COLLISION ON THE RICHMOND LINE. Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, Mr. W. Carter, the Coroner for East Surrey, resumed the inquiry, at the Marquis of Granby, Richmond, into the circumstances attending the death of Richard Perry, aged 32, a " chainsman," or engineer's labourer, in the employ of the South-Western Railway Company, who was killed by the collision on the Richmond and Datchet line, on the evening of the 17th ult. Mr. H. C. Lacy, M.P. for Bodmin, and chairman of the Richmond and Windsor line, was in attendance, as were also Mr. Taunton, the assistant secretary, Mr. Gooch, the superintendent of the locomotive department, and Mr. Stovin. A number of witnesses were examined, whose evidence was to a great extent a recapitulation of that which has already been made public, the witnesses being parties engaged on the railway. The whole of the evidence having been gone through, The CORONER read over the voluminous deposi tions, emphatically commenting on that part of the evidence where it was proved by Mr. Gooch that' the driver and fireman had no business to leave an engine on the main line, or on a siding, when the steam was up; and it was shown that Healy and Watkins had not only left their engines in such a condition, but were found in a beer-shop, It was evident that they were then neglecting their duty; and they further neglected their duty when they left the station with the engine, the result of which was the killing of a man. Had they run this man down on the line it would 1 1 have been wilful murder, but the deceased being with them altered the case; as regarded the latter fact, the jury would look at the whole faots of the case, and decide accordingly. The room was then cleared, and after an absence of twenty minutes the public were re-admitted, when The CORONER said—Gentlemen, in this matter the jury have thought it their duty to return a verdict of Manslaughter against Samuel Healey, the driver, and William Watkins, the fireman, of the Vulture engine. The CORONER then addressed Inspector Beard, of the V division, stating that he should send him a warrant, and upon its receipt he would detain the driver, and ap prehend Watkins, the fireman, who he understood had been bailed by the magistrates. The inquiry, which lasted nearly seven hours, was then terminated. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. BRISTOL, Nov. 30.—There was an average supply of wheat at our market to-day, but the demand was by no means great. Seconds flour was is per sack lower; with this exception, we have no alteration to quote in last week's prices. BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 30.—At Gloucester and Worces ter markets, on the 25th, wheat, with a moderate supply, was is to 2s per quarter lower. All kinds of barley, except heavy grinding, declined is per quarter. Oats 6d to Is • per . quarter ch eaper, and a dull sale. Beans nearly maintained their val ue . P eas sold slowly, at a reduction of 2s per quarter. During the presect week only retail sales ha ve been effected; pri ces o f w h eat are nominally 2s per quarter l ower. Barley held for former prices. Beans realise about previous rates. Oats press ing at a further reduction, without making much pro gress. Nothing doing in peas. At this day's market there was a less supply from the farmers, yet the trade ruled dull, at a reduction of 2s per quarter. Barley 6d to is per quarter lower. Oats offering for fully is per quarter less money, without finding buyers to any ex tent. Beans nearly maintained their value. Peas very unsaleable. STAMFORD, Nov. 24.--41 re had again to day a large market, and there was a good supply of both wheat and barley, which sold at 2s per qr lower. Old and new beans is cheaper. In peas and oats no alteration.— Wheat 45s to 51s; barley 30s to 325; beans, old 39s to 41s; new 33s to 355; peas 40s to 435; oats 18s to 25s per qr. LINCOLN, Nov. 24.—There was a very good supply of wheat, which met with a slow sale, at 2s to 3s per qr reduction. Of barley thorn was also a large supply, and it was is to 2s per qr cheaper. Oats were Gd to is lower. —Wheat, red 42s to 48s; white 44s to 535; barley, malting 30s to 345; grinding 26s to 30s; oats, new 15s to 20s; old 22s to 275; beans, old 42s to 44s per qr.— Return of sales made up to Tuesday last, Nov. 28: wheat 2,470 qrs 4 bush, 6,1201 18s (aver 49s 6d); barley 2,287 qrs, 3,6021 16s 6d ; (aver. 31s 6d); oats 497 qrs, 49 5 / 1 2s (aver. 19s l lid); rye 15:qrs,-22/103 (aver. 30s); beans 10 qrs, 16/ 103 (aver. 335); peas 35 qrs, 611 lOs (aver. 35s lid).

Wheat, red 42s to 46s 6d; white, 495; oats 14s to 225; Beans 39s to 42s per qr. SPALDING, Nov. 28.—The trade in corn has been a very slow one at this day's market. Merchants and millers are alike determined to keep out of stock, and it is very likely to be the feeling during this year. In our experience in the corn trade December is always a flat time. As the stocks on hand are light (the stock of bonded, as per the Mark-lane Express, in the whole kingdom is only 95,822 qrs) farmers have nothing par. ticular to fear for eight or ten months, as f ore i gn sup plies fall off d ur i ng the winter, and the small stock of potatoes will soon be consumed. The prospects far the coming year are set forth as likely to bring prosperity to the manufacturers; the consumptive demand, there fore, will increase, and confidence in a measure be re stored, so that wheats will make a higher price. Wheats fell 2s to 3s per qr at this day's market, there not being one jot of speculation. Oats were difficult to sell at 6d to is abatement. Old beans easier to buy; scarcely any new offering. 41b loaf sd. LONGSIITTON, Nov. 24.—The supplies still continue short, on account of the general and fine seed time.
