E papers of this morning, which contain my. Address of yesterday's date, inform me that the CMlii, oaltion, so boastfully annk unced by the Committee of Mr. and so tremblingly avowed by the Committee of Capt. Grosvenor, h as at length take, pla.e. Why has thi s C os lit on been formed between men whose principles differ so widely ? Is Capt. Grosvenor prepared to vote for Universal Suffrage with Mr. Mill, or will Mr. Mal, again, change his opinion and Vote tor the Ballot with Capt. Grosvenor ? The real cause of the Coalition is the inherent weakness of both the candidates, which has prompted an alliance so unna*ural and ill-advised. If I fee know anything of the public spirit and independent ling of the ele c t ors of Westminster, this tardy manceuvre will find no favour in their eyes, but will secure me the Support of all inr!epetdent men, and will not cause me the loss of a single pr)mised vote. Believe me, Gentlemen, Very faithfully yours, lIAM HENY s C entral Committee Ro W oms, LL 1, Cocksput ß -s.reet mrrii, Jun. , July 7,1861. TO THE ELECTORS OF PEMBROKE, PEMBROKE DOCK, MILFORD, TENBY, AND WILTON. GENTLEMEN,_ Ibeg to offer myself as a Candid a t e f or th e h onour of representing* you in Parliament. I am acquainted by personal observation and business pursuits with the wants and interests of your locality. These wants and interests—imperilled by the policy of the Government —shall receive my chief and assiduous attention. In giving needsdg I feel that no portion of the country deserves or a more watchful and industrious repre sentative than yours. 1 Y political prin c i p l es are those of a Liberal Conserva tive. I am in favour of progress, as well as in the social development of the country as in its more material and commercial interests, To all rash and rapid changes lam opposed. I am prepared to support any measure which shall strengthen our Constitution by securing a fair share in the representation of the country to thethrift and intel ligence of the working classes. I hold it to be of the utmost importance that the national defences, and more especially the navy, should be retained in the highest state of efficiency. We should not forget that the British Navy was once u P 19111,3 , and th a t its decadence from that position would lower us in the estimation of other nations. Nor is this a mer e matter o f sentiment. The supremacy of the British Navy must be m a i n t a i ne d , at any cost, as necessary to the safety of our world-wide commerce and to the stability of the British Empire. Our dockyards are an essential element f this general policy, and I should strenuously oppose the o f spirit of false economy that dictated the aban pmunent of Pembroke Dockyard, as suggested by the Par 11864nnle4tary Committee nominated by the Government in , t. -But not merely s h ou ld we be content with an unrivalled 'eet , ---it is e ssential that the other branch of the service S hould be thoroughly effective. England possesses a Vol unteer Force unparalleled in Europe. In that branch also cl.,ftir defences we must maintain our supremacy. .:1-nsulatd as we are by our position from the rest of ve u T.Pe, I believe the wisest policy to be one of non-inter rialil,"on where the interests of this country are not mate -I,43(iiien:volved. It is below the digaity of England to In matters which do not immediately concern us, or !on tlireaten when we do not intend to strike. upon, ziena to maintain the Established Church, I shall act generousthe Sound Policy that her best bulwark is a just and den ominated o,gnition of the rights and privileges of other I ns -I `, l _ l , 110 other Country has trade advanced with such rapid Ltriuteg as • trad e Ile England.

GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " Medical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of of rtain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which "Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants, with copies of their pull's and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphl• t above referred to, which is entitled "Revelatiuns of Quacks and Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medic ii Circular" Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous g a i ns o f t h e o bscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, 'even to the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, by con-ulting which every young man may know where be may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed Buy, therefore, reader, by all means boy " hevelations of Quacks cud Quackery." Its contents will astonish end am se you, white they invoke you- indignation and disgust. Of course you !ci not want It on account of its warnings for you o?vn sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, it your acquains ance is large. " Who are tne Quacks that Punch' means ?" Consider what it is to be able to answer t is question of the young and inexperienced, and, for char.ty'a sake, if for no other, go and provide yourself with " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12. Dr. George Harley, F.R.S., said he was a Pro fessor in University College, London, and that he had made a post mortem examination. Externally there was an ap pearance that deceased was a well-nourished person. There were no marks of violence, but an extreme pallor was ob servable. The brain was healthy, but bloodless ; the lungs and heart also were healthy. There was a small modicum of fluid on the right side of the heart, but the left side was empty. The abdominal organs, stomach, andkidneys were also healthy. There was no sign of disease observable. The uterus was considerably enlarged. He found its organisa tion in a remarkably healthy state. He found no appear ance of poison. The medicines were roughly examined by him, but there was nothing deleterious in them. In his opinion the cause of death was hemorrhage of intestines caused by abortion, but fie was not able to say whether that abortion was brought about by natural or by artificial means. The Coroner, observing a well known solicitor present, asked him whether he wished to examine any of the wit nesses, as ho presumed he was representing some one at the inquest. The gentleman referred to said he had no questions to ask, as ho was merely there to watch the pro ceedings. Dr. Colomiati Meredith said ho lived in Margaret-street, Cavendish-square, and was a doctor of medicine of Paris, and a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, England. Was sent for to see the deceased on the 27th of Juno last. He never saw or heard of her before. She told him that when she came over in the vessel to England a week or ten days previously she fell down and became very wet. That was all ho heard of her case. When he came to her on the Wednesday he found the child, or foetus rather, born, which he removed, and tied the cord. There was scarcely any bleeding.. There had been a slight bleeding before ho came in, but nothing alarming. The foetus was in a state of putrefaction, and it must have been dead for some time, but he could not say how long. He should be inclined to believe its death was owing to the fall on board the vessel. He saw her again next morning about nine o'clock, and everything was favourable. He did not see her on the next day to that, Friday; but on Saturday he was sent for. He came to her about a quarter to four o'clock, and found a great contraction of the womb and great flowing of blood. It was not, however, alarming, He left her for half an hour, andonhiveturn he found her so weak - that he sent for another medical men. He ordered brandy to be given her, which was done. She died in their presence about half-past Bin the evening. Dr. Harley said the evidence given by Dr. Meredith would fully account for the symptoms observed by him. ALFRED LOWE, Secretary.

IRON SHlPS.—Parties i n t eres t e d i n keeping the bottoms of Iron ships clean for a VOYAGE ROUND THE WORLD are earnestly invited to inspect the bottom of the Iron Ship "CHILI'," lately retu, ne.l from New Zealand. She. will go into Ewing and Wimahurst's Dry Dock, Rat cliff, on MONDAY next, 10th July, and will be dry from Nine to One o'clock. This iron ship has been afloat for TM LIT LEN MONTHS and SEVEN t , AYS, without any renewal of that Compoution on her bottom ; neith"r has the bottom been scrubbed, scraped, or hogged during this lengthened period, nw has the vessel been in fresh water Since leaving the 'Thames last summer. She received her last coat of PEA COCK and BUcHAN'S DiPROVED GENUINE COM POSITION on the 2d" June, IMF, in Mr. Lungley's Dry Dock. In answer to the Coroner, Mr. Meredith said most dis tinctly that he-did not think deceased had been tampered with, and that her fall on board the vessel would account for the abortion, and that the decomposition of the child would be caused by the mother falling into the water. The Coroner observed that the suspicious nature of the case was, that the gentleman referred to was not present. He must say that the medical evidence did not inculpate him, and it would be a question for the jury whether it would be of any advantage to adjourn the case to see if the gentleman could be found, or whether the jury, acting on the medical evidence, would at once agree to a verdict. A juror to Dr. Meredith—Have you over seen this gen tleman ? Dr. Meredith—Certainly I have. The juror—To whom do you look for payment for your service ? Dr. Meredith—l cannot say. Unfortunately, medical men are often called to attend cases for which they do not get paid. The Coroner said there were two letters addressed 'to the deceased, which he thought it was his duty to have read, and he should feel obliged if Dr. Meredith would translate them. The first letter was from a working man in Franco, upbraiding deceased for having left France in his debt, and charging her with having taken certain ar ticles, which he enumerated, The second letter was ad dressed from Chatillon Sur Indre, and was dated the 26th of June, 1865. The writer termed deceased "Me chere Marie," expressed her regret that she had not seen " Marie" for two years, and concluded by styling herself her affec tionate mother, widow Bullot. It also appeared that de ceased had been recently in Brazil. In answer to a juror, the landlady of the house in Port land-terrace said that on the Saturday evening when the young lady died she forced her way into the bedroom to see her. That was after sho understood she had been con fined. Deceased was in bed and looked very feeble. Wit ness gave her some brandy to drink, but the gentleman re ferred to told her not to give any more, as it would do no good. Witness said it would not possibly do any harm, and • again gave her a drink. The young lady appeared very grateful, and took hold of witness's hand, looked full into her face, and said, " Dear, dear Madame." Her hand and forehead were as cold as death. She died shortly after. Susan Lydford, servant to the last witness, gave confir matory evidence. In reply to the Coroner, The Foreman said they were not at all satisfied with the evidence, and that they unanimously wished the inquiry adjourned, which was accordingly done until Saturday next. `‘'' ':":'., .tl-3 - % ---.....„,.. \ . ,>. . r.".. 0 1 ,, 4, 07i , A N , .... -- . .„,... ,-...

Priscilla Oliver said she lived at 28, Portland-terrace, and was in the habit of letting apartments. A few weeks since a gentleman came and hired some apartments, and said they were for a young lady from Paris. She was not with him then. Witness asked the gentleman for his card. He said he had not got one just then, but she shoUld have one. She never did get the card, and never knew what his name was. She believed he was an Englishman. He could talk English well. On Friday, the 23d of June, he came again at 6 o'clock in the evening, and brought a young lady—the deceased—with him.: The young lady was visited by the gentleman every day, and he generally took her for a walk. He never stayed with hor during the night. On the following Wednesday the lady' was taken ill, and rang the boll violently. The servant went upstairs, and deceased told her to go to two doctors whom she named. She was to go to a doctor near Grosvenor-square first, and if he were out she gave the address of another doctor who lived near Cavendish-square. The doctor who attended is here. The witness also went to her and asked her what was the matter. She said it was nothing, and she would soon be better. She could speak very little English. She wanted an extra sheet upon her bed. The gentleman had been to see her on the previous day between 11 and 12 o'clock. She believed the lady and gentleman did not go out that day, but he stayed with her till about 6 o'clock in the evening. The servant came back from her message and brought the gentleman now present with , her,who attended.to the lady while she was ill. The doctor came also the following day, but not on the next day, Friday. Witness sent for him on the Saturday, and ho came. The doctor told her that the deceased had been deliveied of a four months' child, and that he had put it in the cupboard in the bedroom. Witness looked into the cupboard, but never saw it. Did not know what became of it. The young lady died that Saturday evening. The gentleman was with the young lady till shortly before her death. The gentleman gave deceased her medicine. After having been with her some time on Saturday, the gentleman told witness he was very tired, and that he would be away for an hour for refreshment. He was away longer than he said he should be, and the young lady died. When he came back witness told him of the lady's death, and he fell down in a fit. She obtained assis tance and had him carried to the drawing-room. When he came to he went with witness to the bedroom. He cried very much during the evening. He left about 10 o'clock. PRICE 4d. STAMPED 5d.: SPIRT : OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES. —Since Palmer watched the dying agonies of his victim, Cook, there has been no more cold blooded crime than that of which Dr. Edward William Pritchard was yesterday convicted at Edinburgh. Such offences are apt to fill society with vague fear and suspicion. Poisoning is the foulest kind of murder • when th e v i ct i ms are help less worn en, members of the murderer's own family, the deed is especially infamous ; and when, more over' he who commits it is a me di cal man who pre tends to relieve those whom he is destroying, there wants no circumstance of treache r y and wickedness. Yet the facts of this case show how easy it is for a man conversant with drugs to make away with per sons in his own household who have confidence in him, and for whom his professional calling justifies his prescribing. People naturally come to the con clusion that there is no crime more likely to go un detected than that in which relatives or nurses find it to their advantage to help their patients out of the world. The facility of the deed, the improba bility of discovery, and the difficulty of proof even when suspicion is aroused, make domestic poisoning the most fearful of offences. It is, therefore, the duty of society to spare no pains in investigating each case that may be presented, and to punish un sparingly whenever the crime has been brought home. Of Dr. Pritchard's guilt we conceive there can be no doubt. Never was murder by poison proved by clearer evidence. Even his counsel was unable to deny the fact that his wife and her mother had died by foul means, and the only course open 'to them was to charge the deed on the young girl who was in the prisoner's service. But this sup position was so improbable that the jury unani mously rejected it, and their verdict of guilty will be fully assented to by all who read the trial. In the first place, it is proved indisputably that both the women died by poison. This is no case of doubtful medical opinions combated by medical opinions equally worthy of credit. It is not some in finitesimally small quantity of poison that is found; it is not the mere "appearance" of the intestines that is relied on, or some colour-test, which may pos sibly be fallacious. It is not the diagnosis of the malady - which makes the case for the prosecution ; nor is the prisoner condemned merely on the opinion of this or that doctor that the symptoms described by the servants betoken in his judgment the action of poison. A far firmer ground of conviction is obtained by the discovery of the poison itself in large quantities in the bodies of the victims. The medical witnesses who made the post mortem exami nation, report, first, that there was no natural cause of death discernible, and, next, there was present in the body quite sufficient poison to cause death. In the case of Mrs. Pritchard antimony was found in the stomach, liver, and other portions of the frame. The conclusions were that she had taken a large quantity of this substance in the form of tartar emetic, and that, having regard to the absence of morbid appearances sufficient to account for death, and the presence of a large quantity of a substance known to be capable of destroying life, her death must be ascribed to the action of antimony. It was also clear, from the extent to which all the organs and fluids of the body had been impregnated with it that it must have been taken in repeated doses, the aggregate of which must have amounted to a large quantity. Another report, that of Professor Penny, states that all the parts of the body con tained antimony, that the contents of the intestines, the spleen, the heart, the blood, and the kidneys contained mercury ; that the presence of antimony and mercury in the contents of the intestines indi cates that these metals were passed from the deceased up to the time of death. There can, consequently, not be the shadow of a doubt that Mrs. Pritchard died from the effects of poison administered in comparatively small doses over a considerable period of time. The evidence in the case of Mrs. Taylor is similar. There are two reports by different medical men. These concur in stating that anti mony and mercury were found in the body, and the conclusion is that Mrs. Taylor, like Mrs. Pritchard, died from slow poisoning. Since, then, it is esta blished that these two persons were poisoned, the question simply is, who did it? Suicide is, of course, out of the question, and the victims must, theie fore, have perished through the crime of some one who lived with them in the house. Now, of the two cooks who gave evidence one had been there during the former part of the illness of Mrs. Pritchard, and the other during the latter part. It, consequently, could be neither of these. The matter, in short, lies between Dr. Pritchard and Mary M'Leod, the house maid, a young girl in herseventeenth year, with whom the Doctor had formed an improper connexion, a*d whom his counsel, in a defence on which we need not comment, sought to fix with the guilt of the murder. However desperate may have been Dr. Pritchard's case, we arc surprised that his counsel should have been instructed to take this line. The notion that a young and ignorant girl should poison two women by slow degrees, and with a skill which kept one at least of them alive for weeks, so as to give the appearance of a natural death, is one which cannot be accepted by any person of sense. If even it be granted that the girl had some motive fcr the crime, inasmuch as she may have believed that Dr. Pritchard would marry her when his wife died, it is impossible to believe that she would of her own de vice carried out such a scheme of artistic murder. Mrs. Pritchard's illness was such as might have been imagined by the author of some horrible romance. She was ill for a day or two together, then came a respite, then again the symptoms returned. We know by the medical evidence that these symptoms were caused by the administration in small doses of very powerful poisons, by which an unskilful hand would soon have made an end of its victim. It is reasonable to conclude, then, that the girl was not the poisoner , and, if it b e so , th ere i s no one b u t Dr. Pritchard who could have committed the crime. . . The suspicions of his unhappy wife appear to have been aroused some time before her death, but she had not energy to resist the man who was destroy ing her. It is difficult to understand how the un- ha — ppylady could have failed to connect her ill-health with the presence of her husband. Whenever he was away for a few days she was better, but as soon as he returned the sickness recommenced. She was ill continually afterwards, and the articles of food which were prepared expressly for her were those which usually brought on the unfavourable symptoms. The evidence of the three servants makes it suffi ciently clear that the prisoner, having probably studied the details of former cases of poisoning, conceived the idea of destroying his wife so gradu ally and naturally that even the neighbouring doctors whoni he called in should 'be unable to detect anything wrong. He seems, however, for some reasons of his own, or perhaps through negli gence, to have made more hasty work with Mrs. Taylor. That poor woman had, indeed, " got the same complaint as her daughter," but, more fortu nate, she was killed outright, instead of being made to linger in misery for weeks to come. Dr. Prit chard, relying, no doubt, on his own skill, was not afraid to have medical assistance, as indeed no murderer needs be if he calls in a gentleman so strict an upholder of professional etiquette as Dr. James Paterson. This practitioner stated, in cross-exami nation, that it was his impression on seeing Mrs. Pritchard that she was poisoned with antimony. But he did not go back to see her, " because she was not his patient." He had nothing to do with her. It was not his duty to do so. She had her husband, who was a medical man ; and in the case of a con sultation the consultant has no right to go back. However, in spite of such perverted scrupulosity, Dr. Paterson happily did not think it unprofessional to speak the truth at the trial, and his evidedce was to the effect that both then and now he believed that Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Pritchard died of poison. His description of these two unfortunates is one of the most harrowing that were given in a court of justice. All this evidence pointed one way, and that was towards Dr. Pritchard. He alone had an in- terest in the death of the two women ; he alone could have poisoned them as they were poisoned ; he told lies about their illness, and made false re ports to the registrar. By his conviction a great act of public justice is accomplished, for it is long since there has been so cruel and treacherous a mur derer. POST.—That the American Union as it was can hardly be restored, notwithstanding the military subjugation of the South, is a proposition from which few who understand the teachings of history will be found to dissent. But though it may be found a comparatively easy task to determine nega tively what form of government will not exist in the American republic, it may be exceedingly difficult to define the new political system which will take the place of the old. Still there are various con siderations which may serve to guide us in forming an approximative estimate of what is likely to take place. For instance, we may be tolerably sure that the leading statesmen on the victorious side will endeavour to take measures for precluding in the future such a secession on the part of a portion of the States of the Union as that which has just ended in failure. It appears to be thought that the most obvious means for securing this end would consist in doing away with the doctrine of States' rights and the principle of confederation. It appears to be MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-July 7. The July sessions for criminal business wore continued to-day at Clerkenwell, before Mr. W. H. Bodkin, Assistant- Judge ; Mr. J. Payne, Deputy Assistant-Judge, Mr. Kopp, Mr. H. H. Harwood, Mr. Rankine, Mr. Twontyman, Goodhart, Mr. Franco, Mr. Booking, Mr. Charles White, and the Baron de Bliss, justices. The Assistant-Judge was occupied for several hours in trying a prosecution for keeping a disorderly house, in which the parties charged were a licensed victualler, with 13 years' good character, and his barmaid. The evidence failed to show any receipt of money for the mere use of rooms, or any female lodgers in the house, or any disturbances by persons of either sex. The affirmative issue was supported by two witnesses who deposed to witnessing conduct on the part of visitors which other witnesses proved it was physically impossible for them to see. The jury, after intimating that their minds were made up to acquit before the summing up, listened attentively to the learned Judge, and then retired, as they were not unani mous, but in a short time found a verdict of not guilty. Public attention has been recently called to the fact that parishes, if once set in motion by formal complaint, must_ pay £2O, under an old act of Parliament to the complain ants, and that the persons accused may be taken on a war , rant and hold to bail to answer the charge without any notice, and without knowing the name of a single witness who will be called or the circumstances which will have to be explained. One woman thus accused had met with an accident from the kick of a horse, and was compelled to un dergo a painful operation for the removal of a dead bone. The warrant issued, and a constable remained in her house to prevent her absconding, as she was too ill to attend and give bail, and it was stated that his very close supervision of the sick person was only relaxed upon the suggestion of one of the metropolitan magistrates. In this case, the Assistant-Judge very properly allowed the accused, on pleading guilty, to enter into sureties to come up for judgment if called upon. A number of persons tried on similar indictments at the last sessions, and imprisoned since that date, were also liberated ; but several have to surrender for judgment at the next sessions, on the 17th inst. The Assistant Judge, since public attention has been directed to the subject, has intimated his opinion that in future notice should be given to the persons to be accused before a prosecution is instituted, and that the names of the witnesses as well as a copy of the indictment should be supplied to the defendants. The right to a preliminary inquiry before a committing magistrate cannot, it appears, be conceded in the present state of the law. But magis trates at the police courts might, and it is believed will in future, require a prima f.cie case to be disclosed upon de positions, as in cases of far less importance, such as charges for obtaining goods by false pretences or stealing articles of trifling value. Mr. Metcalfe, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Ribton, Mr. Poland, Mr. Besloy, Mr. F. H. Lewis, Mr. Collins, Mr. Montagu Williams, Mr. Starling, and Mr. W. R. Harris were the counsel engaged. (Before Mr. Payne.) George Spencer, a salesman in the service of Charles Powers, miller, of Biggleswade, pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzling several sums of money—viz., £l4 10s., £l5, and £l4 10s. There were other indictments, but it was considered unnecessary to proceed with them. Mr. Poland, for the prosecution, stated that it was the duty of the prisoner to take orders in or about London, to receive the money for the goods when delivered, and to pay the amounts into Messrs., Barnett's bank in the city, and then to send an account to his master of the money so re ceived. The prisoner, it appeared, had received the money, but had not accounted for it in any way. When ho was taken into custody he stated that he was endeavouring to make arrangements with his brother to pay the money. On Foreign Mail Packet List.

Mr. Orridge, for the prisoner, said that the prisoner had hitherto borne a most excellent character, and that when he -entered the prosecutor's service he was in difficulties, and had taken the money, at the same time hoping that he would be able to replace it. He also stated that the pri soner was too ill to take his trial at tho last sessions, and was now in very bad health. Several medical certificates were handod up to the learned judge. Mr. Payne, under the peculiar circumstances, ordered the prisoner to be imprisoned forlho space of four months with hard labour. A case 14 unfit for publication ended in the con viction of two men, and their being sentenced to two year and six months' iinprisonment respectively. A case of assault, in which Mr. Cooper, instructed by the Solicitor to the Treasury, appeared for the prosecution, was also tried, but possessed no feature of public interest. The sessions were adjourned for county business to the 13th inst. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-July 7. GUILDHALL. —Thomas Smyth, keeper of a beer and refreshment house, 93, Farringdon-street, was summoned before Mr. Alderman Phillips, by Alfred L. Foster, super intendent of the City Police, for that on the 2d of June last, being then the occupier of such house, he did unlawfully permit a room in his house to be used for the purposes of betting on certain horse races, .whereby he had incurred a There were four summonses against Smyth, four against - John Miller for unlawfully using a ream in Smyth's house for the purposes of betting, six against Fred. Potter, the landlOrd of the Pewter Plate in Gracochurch-street, for knowingly allowing betting in his house, six against Wm. Shee (alias Biddle), others against men named Madden, Calder, Philip, and Powter; for against • R. Lee, one against E. Appleyard, and eight against Wm. Box. Mr. Poland prosecuted; Mr. Sleigh defended Smyth and Miller ; Mr. M. Williams was counsel for Powter ; Mr. Lewis, jun., for Lee and Appleyard; and Mr. T. Beard for Madden, Potter, and Shee. William•Kerridge said—l am a police-constable. I went to the defendant's house in company with another con stable, on Wednesday, May 29. Smyth's nephew, Alfred Greystone r carries on the refreshment business, and Smyth lives in the country. I went into a room on the first floor. There is a ground glass window about half the size of the door, on which is written J. Miller and Co. I wont in and saw several men there, and in a kind of office adjoining the room there were two bookmakers. The room is fitted up as an office. The bookmakers were seated at a ,little window, where they received and booked the money. The door was wide open. There was a notice up that not less than 10s. would be received. I saw several bets made in the room on that occasion. I went into the house again on Thursday, June 1, about 1 o'clock, and again saw the two bookmakers, and several betting lists, and cards containing the odds against the different racehorses. I saw one man bet 10s. on Breeze for the Grand Stand Stakes. It was paid over to the bookmaker and entered in his book. I went again on Friday, June 2, about half-past 12. There were about 10 or 12 men in the room. I saw one man stake 10s. on Reindeer. I went twice after that, and saw the de fendant one day behind the bar. Miller's name is not on the doorpost outside the house, but only on the glass door of the office. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—l never saw the defendan in the room. Mr. Sleigh contended that there was not a tittle of evi dence as to the defendant being cognisant of whatever might have been carried on on his first floor. He did not live in the house. He had certainly let the room to the defendant; but, as the agreement would show, it was let as a loan office. Mr. Alderman Phillips said—l confess that I have not the smallest doubt in my mind that the room was let for an illegal purpose, and that the defendant knew that there was betting going on. I shall fine you £lO, and you must pay the costs. Mr. Poland asked that the other summonses against the defendant might be adjourned sine di; in order that if the practices complained of were continued they might then be proceeded with. Mr. Sleigh asked for the summons against Miller to be adjourned, and his recognisancos taken that ho should dis continue the practice, which he was very willing to enter into. Mr. Alderman Phillips—l cannot think of fining Smyth £lO, when he was only guilty of letting the room, and ad journing Miller's summons, when in fact he was the tenant, and carried on the business of which complaint is made. Mr. Miller then, acting under the advice of his counsel, pleaded guilty. Mr. Alderman Phillips fined him £2O with costs. Mr. Edmund Appleyard, of 88, Farringdon-street, then appeared to a summons similar to that of Mr. Smyth. He pleaded not guilty, and in consequenceof a mistake as to a date the summons was adjourned. Mr. Robert Leo pleaded guilty to keeping a betting office in Mr. Appleyard's house, and his sentence was de ferred until Mr. Appleyard's summons was decided. Mr. Frederick Potter then appeared to his summons for allowing betting to take place in•his house. Evidence was given by two officers that they had entered the defendant's house, tho Pewter Platter, in Gracechurch street, and been witness to batting on each occasion in the public rooms. Thore were men seated at the tables who took and booked money as bets. Mr. Alderman Phillips,afte;:a pzitlent hearing, fined the defendant £2O and costs. Mr. Beard, for the defendant, gave notice of appeal. Mr. Philip Powtor, of 87, Parringdon-street, also pleaded " Guilty" to keeping a room as a betting-office, and was fined £2O and costs. The other cases wore then adjourned. CLERKENTVELL.—James M'Manus, police-constable, 86 S division, stationed at the Kentish-town Police-station, was charged before Mr. Barker, with unlawfully assaulting and beating Mrs. Harriet Elmore, of 5, Rondolph-street, Camden-town, on the 23d ult. Mr. L. Lewis prosecuted ; Mr. Wontncr defended ; and Mr. Henry Allen, prosecuting officer of the Associated Institution for Improving and Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women, watched the case. Mr. Lewis, in opening the case, said that as he under stood thorn was to be a conflict of evidence he should ask the magistrate to send the case for trial. The complainant said—On the day in question, at about half -past 3in the morning, I was in the St. Paul's-road with my mother, returning home from attending a sick cousin, who has since died. As I passed the defendant he said " Good morning," and my mother answered him. He followed and took hold of my mother, and afterwards he took hold of me by the arm rather roughly. My mother told him to take his hands off, and he said, , 4 I am not the first man who has laid hands on you to-night, and you are no better than you ought to be." I had a sharp struggle to get away from him, and my arm was bruised and my dress torn. I had not spoken to the defendant nor to any man on our way home. Cross-examined—l might have stated that the defendant had been drinking. I saw the defendant at the police station on the Saturday following, but I did not then say that he had been drinking. We both said that if the defendant would apologise we would forgive him, but he said, "There is none needed." We will not now accept his apology, as he has said that he had seen me out with_ some drunken men. Mrs. Elmore said the complainant is her daughter, and on the day in question the defendant took hold of her arm and trode on her foot. While she was doing up her boot the defendant insulted her daughter by taking hold of her by the right arm. She resisted very much, and in the struggle her dress was torn. The defendant insulted my daughter, and said that he was not the first man that had put his hands on her shoulders that night. She did not say that the defendant was drunk, though she thought ho had been drinking. Mr. Wontner said that no one regretted more than his client that he should have mistaken the young lady for some one else ho had seen that night, b ut he wished now to withdraw all imputation on her character and make an ample apology for what he had said under mistake. Inspectors Stratford and Millard gave the defendant a good character, and said that he was perfectly so b er . Mr. Barker said he considered the defendant had behaved very ill in the matter, and fined him 40s. and the costs, with the alternative of 21 days' hard labour in the House of Correction. TIIE GREAT WESTERN FACTORIES AND OXFORD. —lt was generally anticipated that the Great Western Railway Board would have come to a decision as to the removal of their works to Oxford at their meeting on Thursday last, but it appears there was so much business to bo done that the subject was postponed for a week. As the Board, however, had satisfied themselves that the works and dwellings for the artisans will be in a healthy and suitable locality, there appears to be no doubt that they will adhere to their original arrangement to more the works to Oxford, in spite of th e vexat i ous oppos i t i on offered by certain members of the University.

The way to prevent setepsionlor s the future then, is, upon this assumption, fcrierniiffel the Constitution, and establish a consolidated Re public, one and indivisible. Such a political system would, of course, be quite unlike the Union as it was, so that the South will at least have succeeded in abolishing the old Union, and the North, which went to war to restore it, will have to confess that the task which it undertook to accomplish was an enterprise beyond its strength. Under these cir cumstances it becomes a very interesting problem whether any particular form of Government or poli tical system could have prevented the secession we witnessed four years ago, or would have the effect of obviating a like revolution in the future. Revo lutions have their origin in the feelings and interests of large bodies of people. The population of the South desired to be an independent nation, because it believed that this was essential for the protection of its best interests. There was in the opinion of the Southern people no alternative between self-govern ment, to be obtained by secession, and a defensive war, if need be; and government against their will by the Northerners. The antagonistic interests of the North and South were in part moral and politi cal, and in part material ; but even the former were in fact the result of the, latter. The antagonism which existed between North and South; including the element of slavery, had its sources in the geo graphical position of the two sections, and is as little susceptible of being removed by artificial means as the climate of the country itself. If, then, the United States had been a consolidated • Republic, one and indivisible, these antagonistic interests would have been just as powerful and Just as sharply defined as they have actually proved themselves to be. The two sections of American society, the Northern and the Southern, would have been under any possible form of govern ment just what they have been and are. The same struggle for power would have gone on between them. Each party would have striven to get one of its own statesmen elected as President, and to go vern the country through his agency. In all coun tries and under all forms of government where the representative principle is admitted at all, there are two parties, each of whom aspires to govern the country through the agency of the Prime Minister, if it is a Monarchy ; of the President, if it is a Re public. And if revolutions and secessions do not take place, it is because society is more homoge neous, and because there is not a strong antagonism of material interests, the result of physical geo graphy. Revolutions are by no means a novelty in the history of the world. The British colonies showed themselves quite as ready to revolt against us in the last age as the South has done to separate itself from the North in the present, and from mo tives which were insignificant in comparison. Yet the colonists were the subjects cf a great Power which, it was supposed at the commencement of the struggle, would put them down in a few months. The fact of a Republic taking the consolidated form, as one and indivisible, instead of the form of a con federacy of States, does not in the least - alter the fundamental principle upon which it is based. What that principle is we learn from the Declaration of Independence, drawn up and promulgated by the colonists when they threw off their allegiance to Great Britain, and when it was as yet uncertain what form of Republic they would adopt, or even whether they would establish a Republic at all, and not a Monarchy. The principle in question is that men ought not to be governed against their will ; that all government rests on the consent of the go verned. If the Americans had established a Monarchy their Southern descendants at the present day would not have been likely to pay more respect to it than they did to the British Government of which they were the lawful subjects. On the contrary, having broken up one Monarchy, so far as they were con cerned, to establish another, based upon the principle of consent, they would have been able to urge this very principle as the justification for secession. If, then, the North were to abolish the old Con stitution entirely, and establish a consolidated Re public, one and indivisible, on its ruins, or even if they were to establish a military despotism under a dictator called a President, it is difficult to see in what way this would preclude the possibility of future secessions when any large number of the States believed it was their interest to separate, and also that they were strong enough to give effect to their will. It is under the most tyrannical and con centrated Governments that revolutions have been the most plentiful. If the Southern States had not believed themselves strong enough to achieve their independence they would not have seceded when they did. And any other portion of the American population which might in the future believe it was its interest to secede, and that it was strong enough to win its independence, would d o as th e South has done, whether the Union remain a Federation, or be formally changed into a - consolidated Republic, one and indivisible. The events of the past four years of war have shown that the Federal Govern ment has wielded a power as great and as absolute as that possessed by the military despotisms of the Old World, and what greater power over the liberty of the citizen could be possessed or exercised by the government of a consolidated Republic, or a Dictatorship, or any other, there would be a large standing army at its command. But so there would be at the command of the old Government, under its old form, if it chose to keep such an army on foot. And if that army consisted in part of Southerners, such part could not be relied on in case of the South attempting to secede again. If to avoid this the North were to take care to exclude all Southerners from the army, the case would not be much altered, for they could do this as well under the present form of government as under any other ; and it would, besides, be no safeguard against the future • secession of any other States than those of the South. We find such of the Southerners as were in the United States army seceding from it, as their States seceded from the Union ; and what the Southerners did yesterday the inhabitants of other States would do to-morrow. The feeling which for genera tions has attached the American to the State of which he is a native is not likely to be eradicated by a mere change of names, a mere alteration on paper of the form of the Government from a Federal to a consolidated Republic, or even to a milit ary Dicta torship. That the South may be too much broken and exhausted to attempt a revolution for a long period of time is obvious ; but should it ever be re stored to prosperity, should it ever become relatively as strong as it has been, and should it believe it to be its interest to secede, we. may be assured that if it abstain from seceding it will be through the re collection of the past war, and not through any changc in the paper constitution of the United States or in the name which maybe given to its form of government, or in the title of its chief magistrate. The fact is, that the American Union covers too vast an extent of territory for a single country, and the more populous it becomes the greater will be the difficulty of keeping it together. It is possible that, with the experience of the past, the South, even if stronger relatively to the North than before, would not at a future time think it expedient to renew the attemp which has ended in failure. But, on the other hand, if the South were to secede, would not experience equally warn the North against going to war to oppose it ? The South has lost its cause, but what has the North gained ? O r , assum i ng that may have gained something, is that something worth the war, and the evils which the war has left behind it? The South has lost its cause, but what has the North gained ? Or, assuming that may have gained some thing, is that something worth the war, and the evils which the war has left behind it? Nature has made the North and South—North and South separate they might make two great and prosperous empires, unnaturally united they are an ill-assorted pair that never canbe one. The closer the union between them the more strongly will their antipathies and their antagonistic interests come into conflict and colli sion. What nature has separated let not man seek to weld together. Victoria Cross. (From the London Gazette of July 7.) WAR-OFFICE, July 7. The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her intention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the undermentioned officer of her Majesty's Indian forces, whose claim to the same has been submitted to her Majesty's approval, for his gallant conduct during the operations at Umbeyla, on the north-western frontier of India, as recorded against his name, viz.:— Lieut. (now Capt.) George Vincent Fosbery late 4th Bengal European Regiment, for the daring and gallant manner in which, on the 30th October, 1863, acting as a volunteer at the time, he led a party of his regiment to re capture the Crag Picket, after its garrison had been driven in by the enemy, on which occasion 60 of them were killed in desperate hand-to-hand fighting. From the nature of the approach to the top of the crag among the large rocks one or two men only could advance at one time ; and "while I ascended one path," relates Lieut.-Col. Keyes, C. 8., commanding the let Punjab Infantry, "I directed Lieut. Fosbery, of the late 4th European Regiment, to push up another at the head of a few men. lie led this party with the greatest coolness and intrepidity, and was the first man to gain the top of the crag on his side of the attack." Subsequently, Lieut.-Col. Keyes being wounded, Lieut. Fosbery assembled a party with which he pursued the routed enemy in the direction of the Lallooßidge,inflicting on them further loss and confirming possession of the post.
