The accused was of a violent temper, and was said to be on intimate terms with her mas ter. The mistress was also known to be afraid of the servant, and to not dare to give her any orders. The woman Piquet had been seen near the spot at the period of the crime, and traces of blood were found on her clothes. She was declared by the jury guilty of homicide, and condemned to 20 years' hard labour. W4....r. VIIE S UN, LONDON, FRIUUAY E VP,N I N SEPTEMBER 21, 1866. Central Criminal Court---This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Willes.) CHARGE OP 'WILFUL MURDER. Thos. Murphy, 29, labourer, was indicted with the wil ful murder of Thomas Sullivan. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. According to the evidence it appeared that the parties resided in the same house, in the neighbourhood of Rose mary-lane, and on the evening of the Ist September a quarrel took place between the women, and ultimately the men became involved. Murphy occupied the second floor in Sullivan's house, and as he commenced to destroy the furniture Sullivan went up to protect his property. The parties then got fighting, and at last cries of Sullivan's wife were heard crying out send for the police, as Murphy had killed Sullivan. When the police arrived Sullivan was discovered lying dead on the floor. On examination it was found that Sullivan had received a wound on the left side, which penetrated the left ventricle of the heart to the cavity. A blade of a knife was found the next morn g in the room in which Sullivan was killed. For the defence it was urged that the wound which caused the death of Sullivan was not given by Murphy, because, had it been so, he would have died instantly, and he could not have used the words attributed to him after Murphy had left his room. The learned counsel also said it was not his duty to prove how the wound was inflicted, but he thought that the fair inference was that the whole being a drunken quarrel, in which a number of other persons were engaged, the blow had been inflicted by some one, but by whom it was impossible to tell. No knife had been found on Murphy when he was taken into custody, although the broken blade of ono was found in the room the next morning. Ho could not agree to the statement- made during tho case for the prosecution, viz., that the blade of the knife had been ejected from the wound by the muscular action of the body. The prisoner, he said, was a quiet, well-behaved man, who had served his country during the Russian war, that he was in the receipt of a pension, and that it was too much to suppose that he would be such a coward as to use the knife in a quarrel. The learned Judge, in summing up the evidence, told the jury that the impression that death instantaneously fol lowed a wound in the heart was a mistake. It had been proved beyond doubt that persons had survived such an injury some time. The use of the knife was justifiable against a person who attempted to murder, or against the midnight burglar, because the law could not come to the assistance of the person so assaulted, but under less cir cumstances than these it was punishable by law. The jury had all the circumstances connected with the case before them, and it was for them to say whetherthe prisoner was guilty of the crime of murder or manslaughter. Tho jury, after a brief deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter, with a recommendation to mercy, because he was drunk at the time the blow was inflicted. The learned judge sentenced him to five years' penal servitude. NEW COURT. John Cronin was indicted for violently assaulting Mary Ann Kelly. The jury found him guilty, and the Judge sentenced the prisoner to 10 years' penal servitude. George (Jurnock, 50, wharfinger, was indicted with felo niously uttering a forged bill of exchange for the payment of £lBB, with latent to defraud. The Court sentenced him to 18 mouths' imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. A CANDIDATE FOR SIX. MONTHS' IMPRISONMENT.— Thomas Smith, who was wretchedly-attired, but whose manners and language were superior to the class who generally make their appearance at the bar of a police court, was charged before Mr. Alderman Lusk, M.P., with breaking a pane of glass in one of the lamps in Charlotte row, close to the Mansion-house. Police-constable 613, said that last evening he was in the neighbourhood of the Mansion-house and saw the pri soner throw a stone at the lamp. He spoke to him, and the prisoner said that he wished to be taken into custody. Alderman Lusk—And you obliged him. (A laugh.) Policeman—Yes, your worship. The prisoner did not deny the charge. He said that he was quite destitute, and had for six days and nights been exposed to the inclemency of the weather. He had never been in a workhouse, and he had a great objection to be known as a pauper. He begged to be sent to prison for six months, and at the expiration of that time ho hoped to be able to maintain himself. Alderman Lusk—How old are you ? Prisonsr said he was 30, and had supported himself by hawking, but had done nothing for the last six weeks. Alderman Lusk said it was disgraceful for a young, healthy, and evidently intelligent man like the prisoner not to work for his support. He would not give him six months, but he would sentenco him to 21 days hard labour. JUVENILE DEPRAVITY.—Timothy M 4 Cabe, a diminutive urchin, between 13 and 14, was brought up on remand, charged with picking pockets, and the offence was clearly proved. Police-sergeant Wickham, said that he had not been able to obtain any further information , respecting the prisoner. Francis XVCabe said he was a shoemaker, and father of the prisoner. His son had been convicted of a similar offence at Worship-street, and got 21 days. He was after was convicted and got three days and 12 lashes. He was useful to witness in his trade, but he would not work, and had been absent from home for a fortnight. Sergeant Wickham said that the prisoner told him he had got 21 days at Epsom, and five days for another offence. 11‘Cabe, in reply to Alderman Lusk, assured the magi strate that he had given the prisoner no excuse to mis conduct himself, but that he was incorrigible. He had endeavoured to get him into a reformatory, but without success. Alderman Lusk said he would see what could be done about obtaining his admission into a reformatory, and remanded him for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO REFRESHMENT-ROUSE KEEPERS.—Mr. Jame Chubb, the keeper of a refreshment-houseat No. 4, Rupert street: was summoned before Mr. Knox to answer the com plaint of the police of keeping his house open between the hours of one and four in the morning. The defendant did not appear, but a person attended on his behalf. Sergeant Matthew Fox, 21 0, said that at a quarter to two o'clock on the morning of the 11th inst. he saw three women come out of the defendant's house, 4, Rupert-street. He visited the defendant's house, and saw five persons. There was a glass on the bar, and on the floor under a female's dress there was a glass containing liquor. Mr. Knox, having ascertained from the police that there was no previous conviction against the defendant, inflicted a fine of 208. and costs. SPORTING INfELLIGENCE, HAMPTON AUTUMN RACES-THURSDAY.

DISGRACEFUL PLUNDER OF A POOR MANGLING WOMAN. —John Ward, a man between 50 and 60 years of age, was charged with robbing Mary Mapleson, a poor widow woman, who gets her living by mangling clothes. Prosecutrix, who lives at 7, Robert's-buildings, Pimlico, said that about six o'clock last evening the prisoner came to her parlour door with a bundle of books in his hand, and asked her to purchase some at a halfpenny each, at the same time displaying the pictures with which they were illus trated. One of the books, entitled the "British Traveller," he said contained a faithful narrative of his own adventures and sufferings in India, and that representation particu larly induced her to look at it with some attention, but still she did not buy, and prisoner, after having exhibited some other pamphlets, backed out of the room with one of them opened before him, and which screened the whole of his front from observation. A woman, who had been sitting in another part of the room, then told prosecutrix that pri soner had purloined a bundle of linen from her drawers while talking, and she followed and found him with it. • Prisoner—l was very much under the influence of drink, and suppose I took the linen up instead of my own books. Mr. Selfe—One of the books you had with you is en titled "Rogues of London." Prisoner—l know it, your worship. Policeman—He was not drunk ; ho was the same as he is now. Prisoner was committed for trial. THAMES. ROBBERY BY A SOLDIER IN THE TOWER.—WM. Mould, a private in the Grenadier Guards, quartered in the Tower of London, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with stealing a gold watch and chain, value £35, and a £5 Bank of England note, the money and property of Lieut. Charles Chricton and acting Captain of the same regiment. The prisoner was the servant of the prosecutor, who was on duty on Monday night in the Bank of England. He left his gold watch and chain and a £5 note on a table in his room. On his return from duty at the Bank on Tuesday morning the watch, chain, and note were missing, and lt was ascertained that the prisoner had absconded. Chandler, a police constable, No. 117 11, traced the pri soner to a public-house called the Wellington, in Percival street, Windsor, yesterday morning, and said, "I want you for stealing Captain Chricton's watch and a £5 note in the Tower." The prisoner said, " You have got hold of the wrong man," to which Chandler replied, "No, I have not, and I shall search you." He found the prosecutor's watch and chain upon him, and asked him where he ob tained it ; to which he replied, " I bought the watch in Birmingham. It was now identified by the prosecutor, who was asked by the prisoner if he did not bring the watcn to him at the Bank on Monday night, to which he replied in the negative. Chandler also produced £2 10s., which he found on the prisoner. Mr. Woolrych said there was no occasion to notice the charge of desertion. The prisoner would be committed to Newgate for trial for the felony.

(Signed) ANDOIRILLE. J. STUART MILL, M.P., ON THE REMOVAL OF MR. BEALES.—The committee of the Beales Testimonial Fund have received the following letter from Mr. J. Stuart Mill, M.P. :—" Avignon, Sept. 10, 1866. Dear sir,—Your letter of August 30 did not reach me until too late to send a leiter which could be read at the meeting in favour of a testimonial to Mr. Beales. I think it quite right that Re formers should make compensation to Mr. Beales for the pecuniary loss to which he has been subjected in conse quence of the prominent part he has taken in urging the claims of the working classes to representation in Parlia ment. I see no force in the reasons assigned as a justifica tion of this treatment of Mr. Beales, Strong political con victions are not considered a disqualification for much higher judicial offices than that of revising barrister, nor are ever likely to be considered except when the opinions are on the side opposed to the ruling powers. To exclude from the seat of justice all who are decided politicians would be to keep out all the fittest men, for wilo, in the present state of the world, is without strong political opi nions of some sort except because he is wanting either in mental cultivation or in the public spirit requisite for taking due interest in the subject ? And to say that the opinions shall be an exclusion because they are known and avowed would be still more absurd, since it is precisely when they aro known to the world that there is least danger of their exercising an improper bias on the judgment. Besides, even if the reason were good against appointing an active politician for the first time, it cannot hold against retain ing him, who, having been appointed, has, by the acknow ledgment of even adversaries, proved his impartiality by his conduct.—l am, &e., J. S. Mux." EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND.—The Registrar- General's report for the quarter ending June 30, 1866 proves that the population of Ireland is still steadily de creasing at the rate of 100,000 a year. The births for the quarter ending in June numbered 38,816, representing au annual proportion of one in every 35.9 of the estimated population. But the deaths numbered 24,763, and the num ber of emigrants in the quarter was 41,124, so that the de crease in the population in a single quarter was 27,071. The number - of emigrants in the same period of 1865 was 37,588, and there is an increase of 3,536 in the June quar ter of the present year. This increase is the more remark able because no exceptional causes are at work in the coun try. On the contrary, there was employment to be had at moderate, but increased wages, the condition of the pea santry is generally improved, and the harvest promised to be most abundant. We fear that the drain will still go on unless labour more remunerative than that provided by agriculture shall induce them to remain at home. The emi grants who have departed were able-bodied men and women in the prime of life ar.d health, the very persons whom it would be most desirable to retain. We may, and probably will, need all these yet, and, perhaps, too late. Statesmen may regret that they have not broken the iron rules of a cold-hearted philosophy to encourage the manu factures and industry of Ireland.—lrish Times. THE APPROACHES TO THE NEW PALACE AT WESTMINSTER. —These approaches and alterations are rapidly progressing, and are expected to be completed by the meeting of Parliament. Palace-yard is to be encircled by an ornamental railing seven feet high. Ample means of ingress and egress will be afforded for the public and vehicles. A colonnade is now in course of construction, in unison with the architecture of the building, by the side of the Speaker's house, fronting Palace-yard, which will lead by a subway on to the Thames Embankment at the end of the now existing Manchester-buildings. It is intended to erect there an hotel by a company, on the plan of the hotel in Langham-place. Approach ing the Houses of Parliament there will be three gate ways, where statues will be placed Two of these en trances will lead to the Speaker's Court, and one to the Clock Tower. Behind the facade now in course of erection some steps are being placed in order to allow a free passage from the Speaker's Court into what is called the " Speaker's Garden," and thence to the "River-stairs." The whole of Palace-yard is to be levelled ; and in consequence of the Metropolitan Railway coming close to Canning's statue, the statue is to be removed to a vacant piece of ground by the side of the W es t m i nster Sess i ons -h ouse. Th e statue is considered by many to be one of Westmacott's best. These works are being carried out, so far as the New Palace at Westminster is concerned, by Mr. Field, the con tractor, from the designs of Mr. Edward Barry. VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO THE LINN OF QUOICR. —The Queen visited the Falls of Quoich last Thursday, driving from Balmoral via Invercauld House and Allan more House. Luncheon was provided at the elegant summer house erected by the Earl of Fife ; and tea was also served there in the afternoon. The Royal party, after spending some time in the grounds and at the fall, had a ride of some miles up the Vale of the Quoich, ghillies and ponies being in attendance from Balmoral. The return to the Palace in the evening was made via Braemar. —Dundee Advertiser. RAILWAY TRAVELLING ON SUNDAY IN SCOTLAND. —On Wednesday the half -yearly meeting of share holders in the Glasgow and South-Western Railway took place, and in reference to the matter the Scotsman says:— " There was a curious little display at the meeting of the Glasgow and South-Western Railway Company, which, it is to be hoped, will escape the attention of the foe and the stranger.' The directors consent, on the requisition of the Post-office, to run a train carrying the mail-bags on Sunday morning, but refuse, on th e requ i s i t i on o f the public, to carry passengers. Actually, th e di rec to r s were assailed by a Dr. Cowan — who, it i s t err ibl e t o thi n k, was long a teacher of youth —not for refusing the pas sengers, but for not also refusing the mails. The chair man, Sir Andrew Orr, very easily showed that the running of the train, instead of coaches and gigs, had caused an im mense saving of Sunday labour, and that the attendance on Sunday by the railway servants is quite infinitesimal. But he did not show, and was not called on to show, why that amount of labour, small as it is, should be in great part thrown away, and why the railway should not effect a saving of Sunday labour much greater than it has happily effected already. Men and women, as well as letters and news papers, have sometimes occasion to travel on Sunday, and when they are not carried on railways, they get themselves carried by cattle and mon-servants. All that might be any more work being done on the railway than is done already. The carriages run many people are accommodated, many are exe mpted f rom empty b o y n t S h u e n r d a a il y w ; a lye't passengers without Sunday work, nobody is injured or inconvenienced, and the railway company is made to look rational instead of ridiculous.

GUSTAVE Do RE AND ALFRED TENNYSON. —A mag nificent Christmas gift-book for 1866 is now in ac tive preparation, it would appear, according to a preliminary announcement just issued from the emi nent house of the Messrs. Edward Moxon and Co. —pre-eminently the Poets' Publishers—and will be produced by them on the Ist of next December. It will bo published in imperial 4to, with paper and type made expressly for the work, price ono guinea. And this forthcoming Christmas gift-book, it may be asked— What is it ? It is the " Elaine" of Alfred Tennyson, the text of it illustrated by Gustave Dore. Nine exquisite full-page drawings—pencilled by this young but already world-famous illustrator, and these drawings of his, for the first time, in this instance, engraved on steel, in the highest style of art, by 1011, Baker, Jeeps, Robinson, and others—will constitute the embellishments of the volume. Never until this occasion, as we have just remarked, have the designs of Gustave Dor6 been engraved on steel. Until now, consequently, it can hardly be said that his de signs have ever been interpreted in their fullest sense. M. Dore has made these drawings, we are told, with especial reference to this very mode of engraving, and it was at his earnest request, in fact, that the pub lishers determined to incur the great outlay neces sary to produce the forthcoming volume. It is also, curiously enough, the very first time that M. Dore has illustrated the works of a contemporary author, he being desirous, according to his own observation, that the work about to be published may prove a monument to Mr. Tennyson and to his illustrator. Nay, Gustave Dore's brother, M. Ernest Dor6, has written em phatically in reference to the new enterprise thus entered upon by the precocious and prodigal illustrator of Holy Writ, as well as of the resplendent - genius of such writers as Dante and Cervantes " Mon frere a fait cette fois-ci le grand slimes qui fere, descendre son nom hla posterit6." We shall look forward for the realisation of that noble design with the liveliest interest, we are even tempted to say also with the fullest confi dence, in the all but certainty, that it will be realised. It has about it all the essential elements for success in precisely this very kind of enterprise—viz., adventurous publishers, skilled engravers, a gifted artist, and a poet whose verses are suggestive of what we doubt not they will receive from Gustave Dor6's facile hand, superbly imaginative embellishments. A fire broke out a few evenings ago at Saint Affrique (Aveyron) in the house of a widow named Izarn, and in a few hours the whole building was reduced to ashes. The Napoleonien of Rodez sig nalises an act of courage, reflecting the greatest hon our on M. du Moiron, substitute of the Procureur- Imperial, who in the midst of the conflagration planted a ladder against the burning pile, and rescued a woman who was springing frem one of the windows. MR. DISRAELI IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND.-It is undertood that next month the Tory Chancellor of the Exchequer will be the guest of the Earl of Lonsdalo at Lowther Castle ; and, in anticipation of his visit, the Con servative party in Carlisle are understood to bo already arranging for a grand-banquet, to which Mr. Disraeli will be invited.—Scotsman. ALEXANDRA PALACE AND PARK.—This magni ficent structure, now in course of erection on the very top of Muswell-hill, is fast approaching completion. Thecon tractors, Messrs. Belk and Lucas, have 1,2C0 men engaged. The works were commenced in September, 1865, and have been carried on with unabated e nergy throughout the monetary crisis, showing the confidence of our capitalists in this important undertaking. The Great Northern Com pany have already purchased the E d g ware and H ighgate Railway, by means of which they will obtain a second li ne to the palace. The directors of;the Mauritius Land, Credit, and Agency Company, in their report, state that the net profits for the year ending the 30th June last amount to £4,101, and recommend a dividend of 2s. per share, in addition to the interim dividend of 5 per cent. paid in February. The balance to be carried forward is £lOl, after reducing the prelimi nary expenses £l,OOO, and increasing the reserve fund £5OO, which now amounts to £l,OOO. The directors of the Westminster Chambers Association recommend a dividend for the half year at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. , The coupons of the Egyptian Government Loan of 1864, due on the Ist October next, and the bonds drawn for redemption, will be paid on that day or any subsequent Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday at Messrs. Fruhling and Goschen's offices, Austinfriars. — ln the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets there has been very little business transacted. Dur ing the last few days sugars have only been in moderate request, at about previous rates. The public sales of tea have continued to proceed with rather more animation, while rice has continued in good request, and at a further slight advance. Tallow, however, has been neglected, and prices for both present and forward delivery tend down wards. LADIES' PLATE. Needle Gun .. (Ames) 1 Ischia (Murray) 2 Betting--3 to lon Ischia.
