Hill, Fawcett, and Hill, 29, Threadneedle street, E.C. Th' iis Company has been formed for Lighting the City of Moscow with Gas, under the powers of a Concession, granted, with exclusive privileges by the Muncipality, on 26th October, 1864, and ra tifi e d i n the month of December last, by the mperial Government. Moscow contains a population of about 500,000 persons. It is situated at th e cen t re o f the commerce of the country, with six railways con verg i ng w i t hi n i ts walls. It is the Winter residence of a largo portion of the Russian aristo cracy, and th e na t ure o f i ts climate is such as to render the i ntroduction of gas, both for lighting and warming pur- Poses, an object of primary importance to the inhabitants. The Kremlin (which covers 250 acres, and includes the E mperor's Palace, the Senate, the Arsenal, and Government ° Mees), the great Universities, and the Public Schools,will all have to be lighted by gas. Prom official statistics it appears that there aro at present in Moscow about 200 hotels —most of them very spacious— wh4,B4l inns, restaurants, cafes, cabarets, and wine -houses, ere people p ass t h e greater part of the night in winter ; pwards of 100 police posts and stations ; 102 printing office; exclusive of those belonging to the Government and the M unicipality, 27 public baths, 15 civil and military hos pitals, and 27 Government asylum; The German, Eng lish, and Merchants' Clubs, and the Club do la Noblesse, each spend Government about £250 per month for lighting, and the pays annually £13,600 for the lighting of the Opera House and the Russian Theatre, and £l2OOO for the , barracks. In addition to the above-mentioned building; and alto gether irrespective of private house; there are 17,032 shops, 700 factories and workshops of various descriptions, many of them of great ma lights. gnitude, and one a l one requiring 800 Moscow has hitherto been dependent for artificial light ripen portable gas, stearin° candles, and petroleum oil. The costliness of these articles and other disadvantages con nected with the imperfect lighting thus obtained aro such as to render any competition with ordinarygas impossible. The Concession which has been securedto this Company confers an exclusive Privilege for 30 years ; at the end of that period the works will either remain the property of the Company in perpetuity without special monopoly, or the lent Municipality may elect to purchase them at a sum equiva to the entire net profits of the previous ten years ; or o extend the Concession, with exclusive privileges for a further period of ten years. In this latter case, the works would revert to the City at the end of 40 years, unless fresh arrangements shall have been made for continuing the business in the hands of the Company. A sinking fund will be provided to meet these contingencies. sil . The Cahier des Ch arges allows the Company to charge five ver roubles (equivalent at the present exceptionally low !'ate of exchange to thirteen shillings, and to fifteen shil .lfings and tenpence at the par of exchange) per 1,000 cubic feet of gas for all private lights. The street lights will be paid for at the price of 14.50 silver roubles per light, burn ing 10,000 cubic feet during the year and at the same rate Or any further quantity which may 'be required, with an I,l,lurainating power which need not exceed 12 candles. All "le lamps of the Government and Municipal buildings are to Pa/ the same price as the private lights, viz., five silver roubles per 1,000 cubic feet of gas. Rai provisional contract has been entered into with Smith, ght and Co. (Limited), for works capable of supplying 120,000 lights, together with the whole of the mains of the CitY (upwards of 140 miles in length) adapted to the entire fnt't°'Pective consumption. The net profits upon tho capi is"' required for this purpose are calculated to exceed 20 per -ent. per annum, and in - this estimate norofit whatever is atta,unaed on th e public lights. p 1 0,000 ih e Works will be laid out with a view to the supply of street lights and upwards of 200,000 private lights ; reartxtitteae.nast tshooennaets the Company can meet the demand to this ,„ profits are calculated to exceed the above_ r,,titenlci, rie.ofearehnoewe tmhaatythis estimate is by no means exagge be made to the profits of other Gas la u °_,Pa . mes possessing exclusive privileges on the Conti paid't_vangst others the gas works at the Hague have I:48 niany years 25 per cent. per annum, and the Paris 20 p er o c re e li n a t. nY is at the present time paying dividends above ii:Siai,ZyiethltrePpelranattuiltal be erected for the supply of 50,000 debt Power e ve ne a d 4 f.*llst in next year, from which date be received. . will be taken to borrow aportion of the capital on nt ' the Shareholdersy 'which means the profits divisible amongst that alread' Offers hY indicated. ma probably rise to a higher figure than coke and t a ,. ve been received for the purchase of all the not cost 0 i Produce received at Prices which will bring down the favou ra b ly Nveiteht carbonised to a point which contrasts . on the Contine Interest at at. t he Gas Works of most of the largo cities hay:early the rate of 7 per cent per annum will be paid on the capital during constr . uctio . n.

Tho magistrate said it was a very serious case, and ho considered the witness Reason deserved great praise for the manner in which ho had detected the prisoner.

Alleged Defalcations of Lord Shaftesbury's Steward, SHERDORNE, Friday. Tho inquiry into the charges made against Mr. IL Short Waters, of embezzling certain monies which he had received in his capacity of steward to the Earl of Shaftesbury, on his estates in Dorsetshire, and for his estates in Yorkshire and North Wiltshire, was resumed this morning at 11 o'clock, before the magistrates; Mr. Goodden in the chair. Mr. H. T. Cole, barrister, instructed by Mr. Humphreys, of Newgate-street, prosecuted ; and Mr. G. H. Lewis, of Ely-place, Holborn, defended. Mr. Targett was first called, and deposed that his father was a tenant of Lord Shaftesbury's, and suffered a consi derable loss in sheep in the year 1864. Application was made to his lordship for a remission of rent then over duo, to assist them in their tribulation, which, according to an entry in the books, and from Lord Shaftesbury's own evi dence, his lordship had ordered. The witness swore that the defendant said that his lordship would not grant the remission, because the farm was held at so cheap a rate as not to justify it. The witness was hardly clear in his replies to Mr. Lewis, in cross-examination, as to his recollection of the exact time when the application was made, although he was certain as to the loss of the sheep, which was in the year 1854. He did, however, distinctly aver that his father several times spoke to the defendant about the re mission, and that his father had expressed himself as con sidering it very cruel of his lordship not to assist them in the way they petitioned, considering the grievous calamity that had befallen them in the loss of their flock, the value of which was £7OO ; and ho also bore it vividly in his mind from the fact that ho constantly talked about the conduct of his landlord at market and elsewhere. Mr. Westc,ott, who had been the clerk assisting Mr. Waters with the accounts, gave evidence with regard to them. The books were again produced in court, and the different items referred to, and exhibited a most complex state of affairs—the defendant having, as alleged on his part, re ceived moneys, which ho had paid to different accounts im properly, viz., the estate account, drainage account, domestic account, private account, &c. The cross-examination tended to show that the money, although received, had been carried to Lord Shaftesbury's credit at some time or other, and that the remission of the rent having been in 1854, and the payments by the last witness's father extending up to 1857, the amount so excused had been received in error and carried to Lord Shaftesbury's credit. Tho witness admitted that he never had any instructions from Waters with regard to any falsification of the accounts, although he did state that on one occasion, under directions from Waters, he arranged with the manager of the County of Gloucester Bank to advance him somo money on his private account condi tionally on his paying in the Parten tithes, which were then collecting, and which ought to have been paid into Lord Shaftesbury's private account under the arrangement that existed with regard to tho collection. Mr. Targett being recalled did not remember that any transactions took place between Waters and his (witness's) father in the sale of agricultural produce, such as seeds, corn, and other matters. Westcott was also recalled, and stated that Waters had a dog cart, two 4-wheel vehicles, and that he kept from three to five horses, of which two were hunters. At the conclusion of this evidence Mr. H. T. Cole said that it was not the intention of the prosecution to proceed any further at present with the two charges against the de fendant. Mr. Bidwell, the accountant, who it had been in tended should be called, would have to give evidence on the accounts generally in support of the other charges that would be brought forward at a future day; and he (Mr. Cole) had therefore thought it best that the entire of that gentleman's examination should be postponed till the evidence of the other witnesses had been taken on all the charges.

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to estab lish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders. is wholly de pendent for support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the Jestitute sick has for a con,iderable period averaged between 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the ASSISTANCE of the benevolent, as the premises of this Hospital are 'capable of containing several hundred more beds, had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them. - The C FIAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, said it was unnecessary for him to remind them of the position of their lines in Oude and Rohilcund, the beautiful climate, the productive soil, and the dense population of 33,000,000. The proportion was 450 to the square mile, against 300 in England to the square mile No doubt, when the country was opened by railway communication, it would be followed by an increasing demand for conveyance to the markets and the seaports. The East Indian line would be the trunk line for conveying the pro duce of their district to Calcutta. The falling off in the Nulhatee line had arisen from the want of suffi cient rolling stock on the East Indian Railway to forward the goods to their destination. The stations of that great company were choked with traffic, so that the merchants of Moorshedabad preferred send ing goods by water instead of by railway, in consequence of the delay that often occurred in conveying it to its. destination. He trusted that additional rolling stock would soon be provided, so as to enable the East India Com pany to carry the traffic in a satisfactory man ner. There were certain modifications required in the terms offered them by the Government for the construction of about 800 miles of railway in Oude and Rohilcund, and considerable delay had arisen, but they had every reason to expect that those neces sary modifications would be conceded. The directors had in the meantime confined their operations to the construction of the line from Cawnpore to Lucknow, 45 miles in length. The works were in a forward state, and it was expected by their chief engineer that it would be completed for traffic before the end of March, 1866. It was to that line he (the chairman) looked for a specimen of what their lines would be when constructed iu that very populous and produc tive country. The officers of the company had re ported that the traffic on the common roads was very large, and did not cease night or day. The capital received amounted to £215,000, and they had in hand £70,000 in cash raised on debentures, and £50,000 in the hands of the secretary and agents of the company, so that there would be no occa sion to make a call of £1 a share, as contemplated before the issue of the company's debentures. He believed that everything was going on well with re gard to their affairs in India. _ _ The inquiry was then adjourned till Thursday, May 4, and on application of Mr. J. IL Lewis the recognisances of the defendant were enlarged. OFFICIAL REPORT. Contributions are received by the Treasurer. Edward Mu terman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs.

We, the undersigned, having inquired into the loss of the late British steamer Luzon, Captain John M'Gowan, master, who holds a certificate of service, No, 40,371, as master, from the Board of Trade, Glasgow, and after a careful examination, find : That the said vessel left Amoy on the 20th Dec., 1864, bound to Manila, with a general- Chinese cargo, 74 Chinese passengers, and one European ; and at about 1.30 on the morning of the 23d Dec., 1864, ran ashore, and was wrecked on a reef called Palaing on the Spanish chart of the Island of Luzon (on a large scale), which was produced in court. This reef is not so clearly defined on the chart with which the Luzon was navigated, viz., Chart Sea, sheet 4, dated 1859, as on the chart above mentioned ; and to this we attribute the loss of the vessel. Every precaution appears to have been taken by the captain in navigating the vessel, but we are of opinion that he was very imprudent in hugging a shore so closely on a dark night, of which he had not a chart on a large scale, and of which he had no previous experience ; and we are also of opinion, that it was great neglect on his part leaving the ship's log-books in Manila ; but as there is great credit due to him for his subsequent efforts to save the vessel, and as he produces such highly satisfac tory testimonials, we only admonish him to be more careful for the future. With reference to the conduct of Mr. A. Reid, the second mate, the Court are of opinion that, directly on hearing the noise on the port beam, supposed to be that of breakers, he should have at once put the helm hard a-port, without waiting to call the captain, he then being the officer in charge of the deck, one on whom much responsibility must always devolve. For this want of promp titude the Court are of opinion that Mr. Reid, the second mate, holding a certificate of competency from the Board of Trade, No. 28,038, is deserving of reprimand, and do reprimand him accordingly. With reference to the conduct of Mr. JamesM‘Raith, chief engineer, No. 3,184, viz., his refusal to attend the court as witness, when ordered, and on being brought up by a warrant, his contemptuous and in toxicated manner towards the Court—we are of opinion that it was highly reprehensible and should be severely punished ; but, taking into considera tion his former good character, shown by various discharges, and his regret expressed in Court for such conduct, we do simply severely censure him, and refrain from recommending the Board of Trade to punish him further. We 'regret not f having been able to obtain the evidence of the chief mate and the remainder of the crew, who were left in Manila. It appears from the evidence.gite'ven clas this vessel, which was of the new had com partments,s— si ; had viz.,ofiron b fr u a t m w e hi an ch d wwoeordeennoptl.aekimrg water-tight they been so, which we believe required by the are ofopinion that the efforts Board of Traci ' e, we. ffthe reef would have made to get the ship great kindness shown by record .. pro bably met with g ree t r o h s e uccess.

Mr. DENT, deputy-chairman, seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. He explained that the Nulhatee line was an experimental one, had been constructed upon a new road, and required a bridge across the river, to carry the line to Moorshedabad, and thus be in a position to divert the traffic from the river to the railway.

The Government wanted the company to deposit a large amount of caution money and the privilege of purchasing the railways at any tim3, which would be very unfair. The• directors considered that the railway and materials on the land would be sufficient security in lieu of caution money ; and that if the Government would be satis fied to purchase the lines at the end of 25 or 50 years, as in the case of the guaranteed railways,' the company would agree to it. They would also, in consideration of the subsidy for the earthworks and bridges, give them up without charge, but would require to be paid for the construction of the permanent way, the stations, sidings, and workshops, and also for the rolling stock.

Mr. Charles Lam port read a paper on. the problem of a ship's form as presented to the practical builder. In treating in detail the features of his theory he particularly recommended to the builder the desirability of ren dering every motion subordinate to progress. He observed that many of the difficulties presented to vessels in sailing might, under truer principles of design, be made to conduce to their forward motion, and the force represented by the violent motion of pitching might be utilised or abused—might propel or retard the ship at the designer's will. This he took to be the test of a successfully designed ship for mercantile employment, that the model. if dropped into water with a properly adjusted centre of gravity should shoot ahead. A discussion, in which Professor Rankine and Mr. Scott Russell took part, resulted from the introduction of the subject, and it was agreed that for the adaptability of ships as regards strength and speed in rough sea, it was necessary that the full body should be aloft, inasmuch as great stability would ensue, that the centre of buoyancy should be aft, and that the lon gitudinal and vertical systems of iron ship-building was brought under the notice of the meeting in a paper read by Mr. Scott Russell. Mr. Grandthem advocated the vertical system, which met with a strenuous opposition from Mr. Reed, who expressed it as his opinion that no act of Mr. Scott Russell de served more appreciation than his adoption of the longitudinal system in the building of the Great Eastern and other celebratedvessels which came from his yards. Mr. Scott Russell, in support of the longitudinal system, instanced a case in which two vessels built on the different systems were ripped up by a rock, and in which the hole of the ship built on the ordinary system, with transverse frames, was much less in extent than the one made in the other ship, clearly showing that one was more liable to be sunk than the other. Mr. T. B. Daft read a paper on the construction and sheathing of iron ships, and amongst other advantages he promised a more rapid construction, a more uniform and secure mode of caulking, a hull perfectly free from fouling, and a stronger and a safer vessel. Papers were read on the composite system of shipbuilding, by Mr. A. M‘Laine ; on a proposed method of com bining wood and iron in composite ships by Mr. M. Scott, C.E., and on Jordan's sys tem of combination by Mr. W. Walker. The members of the institution met in the evening at the Royal School of Naval Architecture, South Kensington Museum, when Sir John Pakington occupied the chair. A most important discussion took place on the reading of a paper on some recent experience in engineering by Mr. R. Murray, C.E. In the course of the arguments an unanimous opi nion was expressed in favour of the recognition of surface condensation., and of the introduction of fresh water instead of salt. Mr. Scott Russell strongly urged the necessity of the employment of qualified engineers to meet the difficulties which would arise by the change, of which the corrosion of the boilers would be the most formidable. After the reading of a paper on a method of ascertaining the diameter of a circle on which a ship turns, the members proceeded to view the collection of navAl models recently moved to the museum.

STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, April 7.—The market for shipping yarns has been very depressed, with next to nothing doing and lower prices. For home trade yarns the market has been very stagnant, with a decline of Id. per lb. in prices as compared with Tuesday. Scarcely any business has been done. The advices from India continue to be discouraging, and those from Bombay are considered to be particularly so, tend ing to prevent operations both in yarn and cloth. In cloth a continuation of the depressed feeling ex isting on Tuesday has stood very much in the way of business, and prices arc slowly but steadily droop ing. Failures and anticipated failures in London, Liverpool, and here have a bad effect on business. A desire to honour the memory of Mr. Cobden on this, the day of his funeral, has no doubt helped to lessen the desire to do business, which may be said almost to have totally closed for the day from the hour of high 'Change, which is 2 o'clock. Norm 7th.—There was a better attend ance of merchants and manufacturers at the Ex change-hall to-day, but the demand for lace yarns was slow, and rates remained without material change. The demand for hosiery yarns was limited, and previous rates may for the most part be quoted. There was very little doing in brown nets, and the sales made were at about previous rates. Silks a ready sale, and prices have a tendency to improve. WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

THE SUPPOSED MURDER AT FROME.—An inquest into the circumstances attending the death of Mary Wallis, seventy years of age, who, it was supposed, had been, while quarrelling,murdered by the man, John Biggs!, with whom she lived, took place on Thursday at Frome. The facts of the case will be fresh in the recollection of our readers. The man and woman quarrelled in their cottage, Biggs being intoxicated at the time. The deceased was found directly afterwards by a neighbour lying insensible on the floor, and a little time afterwards she died. The post-mortem examination did not discover any marks of violence, but the brain was congested, and presented an appear ance which was p ro b a bl y the result of a blow. fellßig injuredg fr s om de h n e ie r d ch h a a ir v . ing Thejury the returned de slaughter. as :v d ;rdi an c d t saofidmashne. Royal United Service Institution. Captain C. C. Chesney, R.E., Professor of Military His tory, Royal Military College, Sandhurst., delivered a lecture yesterday at this institution. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge was in the chair, and among those present were Sir E. Cust, Lord Hotham, Lord F. Powlett, Sir F. Nicolson, and Gon. Hamilton. The subject of the lecture was "Lessons to be derived from Gen. Sherman's campaigns." Capt. CHESNEY commenced by. referring to a former lec ture delivered by him in which he had pointed out that the recognised principle of war must be applied to campaigns in America, as well as those in other countries, with due allowances for the differences of the country, soldiery, and means of communication. At that time, now two years since, the rush of curiosity at the breaking out of the civil war had died off, and the study of the campaigns of Fede rals and Confederates was unpopular, it being generally supposed that their proceedings were a mere chaos of san guinary and indecisive engagements. No one of judgment asserted this now, and the lecturer observed that it was a lesson of caution to the public generally, who it could not be denied, had been misled by a brilliant narrative of the defeat of Bull's Run into supposing that Federal soldiers could never be got to fight, forgetting that the early revo lutionary armies of France in 1792 and the Prussian sol diers in 1806 had been subject to the same kind of panics which Mr. Russell's pen so keenly described. Such panics only showed ill discipline and want of confidence in their officers on the part of the men so behaving, and proved nothing against the valour of a nation. The military les sons insisted on by the lecturer were two—first, the im portance of guarding your own communications ; and, se condly, the possibility of throwing this rule and others aside on the part of a man of genius (for such Capt. Ches ney declared General Sherman to be) under peculiar and favourable conditions. Little ram, observed the lecturer, could not in these matters distinguish the difficult from the impossible ; it required a genius for war to do so. Capt. Chesney then described in detail the advance of General Sherman from Chattanooga to Atlanta from May 6 to July 18, 1865, and observed that the delay of Sherman's advance by the Confederate General (Johnston) was highly to the credit of that officer, when it was borne in mind that ho had been thwarted by two of his own lieutenants; that his army was in number barely half of that of his adversary's, and that he had been ill-supported by President Davis. Capt. Chesney said that the actual rate of Sherman's ad vance was only ono mile and a-half a-day, and which was gained by his continually using his superiority of numbers by stretching out one flank, and working it in intrench moats to threaten the rear of the Confederate General John ston. The lecturer spoke of the retreat of Johnston being in some parts of it a perfect masterpiece of successful cau tion, and ho observed that President Davis probably yielded to a fatal impulse of private dislike in superseding Johnston in July by appointing General Hood to the command. The disastrous offensive movements before Atlanta by Hood were then briefly referred to by Capt. Chesney, who showed that Hood succeeded in maintaining the place a month after ho had lost not less than 15,000 men, simply by re turning to Johnston's defensive policy. The lecturer also gave a rapid sketch of the arrangements by which Sherman secured every mile of the railroad from Chattanooga south ward, and, guarding it with 30,000 men, marched round with a temporary supply of provisions to the south of Atlanta, and forced the Confederate General Hood, who was then too weak to take the field with any hope of suc cess, to quit the sought-for prize. Capt. Chesney then proceeded to speak of General Sherman's subsequentmove month, and said that, in carrying out his second design, Sherman found all tho conditions for marching without any communications—namely, a fertile country teeming with provisions, tolerable roads, and a total absence of defenders. It'was told how Hood was decoyed away by the hope of drawing Sherman back into Tennessee, and how Sherman manoeuvred to encourage that hope, and waited till ho saw Hood well on the way to Nashville before making his plunge into Georgia. His march on Savannah was briefly noticed, and the ingenious manner in which he solved the problem of taking those coast cities was clearly pointed out. Tho lecturer commented freely on Hood's errors, and men tioned his disaster before Nashville as ono of many in stances in which in this war troops had been successfully attacked in their intrenched lines. Special explanations wore given of the means used in those Georgian campaigns for roughly intrenching, and of the means employed for de stroying permanently the railroads. Ho said the Federals accomplished this last feat to perfection. Captain Chesney concluded a most interesting lecture by some striking re marks on the demoralising effect of the system of obtaining supplies for his army which was adopted by Gen. Sherman. Ho believed it too probable that the atrocities lately reported from the Carolinas were not much, if in any degree, exag gerated ; and he was afraid that groat evils would ensue from the savage spirit excited in many of those who had suffered so terribly on both sides. He instanced the case of an officer of rank who was serving solely for the sake of re venge for the death of his only son. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE expressed the gratification ho felt at the interesting details which Captain Chesney had given of the campaigns of General Sherman ; at the same time he confessed his inability to follow with ease the course of these American campaigns ; they were so extended in their operations and so much disconnected with each other. Ono thing had struck him very forcibly while listening to the statements of Captain Chesney, and that was that the spade would form a great element in all future campaigns. It was quite clear that no movements could hereafter be made either in the way of attack or defence without en trenchments. This now element in warfare would, no doubt, bo greatly increased by improvements in artillery and musketry. It had been said that cavalry had be come obsolete. Ho believed that to be a complete fallacy. Ho never could understand what was meant by saying that war could bo carried on without cavalry. Nothing struck him more forcibly of the absolute necessity of cavalry than what had resulted from their use in the American campaigns. It might probably be justly said that the system of heavy cavalry was exploded, but with regard to light cavalry ho thought it must be apparent to every one who had devoted his mind to the subject that it was an arm of the service which could never by any pos sibility bo dispensed with. The late Shocking Murder at Hatcham. Yesterday, as the business of the Lambeth Police-court was about to close, a man, giving the name of Richard Havlin, was placed in the dock before the Hon. G. C. Norton, charged with the murder of John Davies. Inspector Frost, of the P division, said the prisoner had only been taken that afternoon, and therefore he had not a complete case to lay before the Court. Richard Newman was then examined, and said he lived at No. 5, Britannia-terrace, Hatcham New Town. On Satur day, the 29th of last October, the deceased, a man named Bailey, the prisoner, his wife, and himself, were sitting down in the room having some beer, when a dispute arose about a glass of beer, Bailey protesting against the prisoner having any as he had not paid for it. The prisoner then struck Bailey, upon which the latter returned the blow and knocked the prisoner down. The prisoner then seized the poker and attempted to strike Bailey, but it was taken from him. Davies had not said one word or interfered, and he and Bailey shortly afterwards fell asleep. The prisoner then got hold of the poker again, and going to the two sleeping men, before it could be prevented, struck Davies and Bailey several times with it in a most violent manner. The poker was again taken from him, when it was found that Davies was most dreadfully injured about the head, from which the blood poured, while Bailey was also in jured. The prisoner then left the house, and Davies was obliged to be carried to bed and a surgeon sent for. He became somewhat better, and managed to go to work on the following Wednesday, but on the next day became quite insensible and was conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where he expired. Previous to his removal the prisoner saw him, and said he would get some money to obtain him some com forts, and went out, but never returned. 'Thomas Reason, a private in the Ist battalion of tho Grenadier Guards, said he was on duty that day at the magazine in Hyde Park, when he saw the prisoner. He called him by name and then told the sergeant that ho was the man charged with the murder of Davies. The prisoner was then placed in the guard-room, and afterwards removed to Marlborough-street police-station. Tho witness stated that he knew the prisoner from his having been in the regiment some nine years before, and knowing the crime he had committed, he at once stopped him. Sergeant Fookes, of the same regiment, stated that when he took tho prisoner ho said he was not the 111a . 11, and at the station ho remarked, " You will not get a medal for this, for you are too fast." The prisoner was removed to Peckham station, and from thence to this court, by Inspector Frost. The magistrate having duly cautioned the prisoner, asked him what he had to say to the very serious charge against him. The prisoner said—All I wish to say is, that lan -v er y sorry Davieshappened to be the man I hit, because we were like two brothers together. The man I meant to hit was the other, who struck my wife, and cave hes a slight black APHOTOGRAPHIC CURIOSITY.— With a copy of p THE SUN Newspaper is presented GRATIS (with a Suet) P a MINIATURE HOTO GRAPHED FAC-SIMILE of the FRONT PAGE of THE SUN of MONDAY, the 2d January, 1865. *** For the convenience of Subscribers wishing to pre serve the Photograph a suitable frame Is provided, and may be had at "The Sun" Office, Price is.
