As he did not make his appearance at the station-house at the proper time, fears were entertained in his regard, and after the lapse of some time, and every in quiry having in the meantime been made, without success, the river was dragged from an early hour in the morning, until about four o'cl in the afternoon, when his body was recovered. It was immediately removed to the dead house, ife of course being quite extinct, where it awaits an inquest. The Government Gazette of St. Domingo (El Eco del Ozanza) of the 12th ult. re f ers to the advertisement lately put forward in England for a loan of 70,000/. tor that republic, and states that the proposal was never authorized in the slightest degree. It adds that the accounts given of the resources of the country bad at th e same time been grea tly exaggerated, w while the statement was also incorrect of its being at peace with its neighbours.

Mr. Fraser appeared for the assignees; Mr. Taylor for a creditor; Mr. Lawrance for the bankrupts. His Honour said the bankrupts' expenditure had been excessive, and that the justice of the case would be met by a suspension of their certificates (second class) three months. POLL CE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—John Gerard, a person of res pectable appearance, was brought We s it R. W. Car den upon the charge of having obtai, tinder false and fraudulent pretences, 140 tons of icor value 3001. from the London agent to the Coltness ; on Company, at Glasgow, Mr. Lewis appeared for tt prosecution, and Mr. Morgan, of the firm of Humpherys, Morgan, and Co., for the prisoner. Mr. Lewis, in stating the case, slid .he prisoner had made ingenious efforts to make the transaction appear to be a regular commercial dealing; but, although expe rienced, as it would be proved, in rather sinister ways of trade, he had made a mistake, which would fully and legally subject him to disagreeable consequences. Mr. Archibald M'Nacht said—My office is at 54, King William -street, London-bridge, and I am agent to the Coltness Iron Company, at Glasgow. In August, the pri soner, accompanied by another man, called at my office and asked me the price of pig iron. I told him the price, and that my terms were cash on delivery. I do not really remember what the price was then, for it was then somewhat variable, but in a day or two afterwards he celled again and told me he required a great quantity to be executed, that he had received some heavy orders for girders and castings, and he wished to know when I could deliver the iron to him, and at what price. I said I had 60 toss in the river, and that he might have them at ses. Gd. per ton for cash on delivery, at his works, which he said were the Pheeeix Iron Works, Hackney. situate on the banks of the canal, easily accessible by barges, He was to pay the canal dues, and to pay cash en the delivery of the iron. I agreed to let him have the 60 tons at that price. On the evening of the 27,h the 60 tons were delivered. This is the receipt signed by him. The prisoner called the next day ani gave me 501., stating that he could not give me any more that day, but iu two days he would bring me the balance. He had re presented to me, on the first dayl saw him, that he was an iron founder, and that he required the iron to exe cute the orders be had received for the girders and castings. I heard that a person named Paten, who had the character of being an industrious respecta ble man, kept works in the neighbourhood, and a thought occurred to me that the prisoner was a partner in that house. When he came and ptid me the 501. he said he had such extensive iron orders ho would like to buy some more iron as the market was then advancing. I then dui gained with him for 60 tons more, at 6d per ton lees, he sending his own barges for it. On the 2d of September a note came to me for the delivery of the second order, and the iron was accordingly deli vered. Mr. Morgan submitted that there was no false pre tence used by the prisoner, and there could be no pretence for detaining him. Mr Lewis—l contend that he has obtained the goods under false pretences. Ile pretended that he was the owner of the Phcaaix Iron works, and that he wanted the iron for girders and castings, and I am going to prove that instead of being the person he re presented himself to be, and wanting the iron for such a purpose as be stated, he is a convicted thief, and that he sold the iron immediately after he received it fcr considerably less than he was to have paid for it. Sir R. W. Carden said he knew there were sometimes considerable difficulties in proving the sort of false pre tence which even lawyers argued to be indispensable to the making of a case. He would be guided by the whole of the evidence in support of any charge of the kind, and if he thought it right to be submitted to a higher autho rity. he would not hesitate to act accordingly. , The witness proceeded—Befeee the 16 t h of neptember the prisoner came to me and complained of the quality of the second lot of iron. He said that it did not run well, and that it did not make good castings. On my demurring, he said there were one or two little founders in his neighbourhood who could not efford to buy more !hen a ton at a time, and they made the same complaint.. lle then wished me to send him 20 tons additional of rafter iron to mix with the other. On the 16. h, the 20 tons were accordingly delivered. H e sent his own barges or lightermen for it. In answer to questions from Sir R. W. Carden, the witness repeated the reasons by which he was induced to part with the iron, and then proceeded thus: —I have been to the place which he represented as the Phceaix Iron Works. I found there a little room, fitted as a counting house, 12 feet square. Tnero was no foundry or works there belonging to the prisoner. There was no factory for working castings there. When I found I was defrauded, I went immediately to the police. I . bad back some of the iron forcibly on the the 20 th of Sept., and I have been since that time endeavouring, with the police, to find out the prisoner. Sir R W. Carden—Did he tell you whether he was casting iron at the Phoenix Iron Works? Witness—l understood him to say so; but I cannot positively swear that he did. Sir R. W. Carden—Did he tell you he had a foundry there? Witness—l understand him so. Cross-examined by Mr. Morgan—l knew nothing of the prisoner before be celled upon me about the iron. I wrote a letter to him in consequence of a letter he wrote to me about the price of iron. Here the letter was produced. It was addressed to the prisoner, es the manager of the Plisa.ix Iron Works, Rose-wharf, Pritchard's-road, Hackney. Sir R. W. Carden said he considered the letter just produced was quite enough to fill up an important chasm in the evidence. Mr. Lewis immediately impo un ded the letter. Witness—The prisoner was not anxious that I should take back any of the ircn. There is an iron foundry in uf l act k u n r; w r at Rose-wharf, the prisoner about the neighbourhood of the prisoner's premises, but the owner of it indignantly denied that he had any con nection with the prisoner. , Jason Jonathan Rowe — l am a charcoal burner, and p i r r o i n t eh f on a n r d d e , sr. d. 'r r s black three months. I let him the premises. Th e y cons i s t o f part of the wharf, a sl ed , and a ro om for a counting house. There was no foundry at that spot. He told me he took it with the view of building a foundry there. During the whole period he had the pre mises he did not work any foundry ; an d there was no place for castings or girders. I knew the pri soner when some pig iron was received by him, and I was employed by him to sell it. I sold it to Birch, to Simpson, to Wood, to Sherwin, and to Manning, I got i for some of it 48 5., and for mor e of t higher prices; and I was to have five per cent , commission. I sold for ready money, and the prisoner collected it. Cross-examined by Mr. Morgan—About the 3rd of September I was requested to dispose of another sixty tons of pig iron by the prisoner. One of the persons who bought the iron of me said that he should be glad to get back the money he had paid for it. John Carpenter, sergeant of the 11 division of the me tropolitan police—l know the prisoner abo u t t wo y ears and a half. He has not carried on business as an iron founder within that period. He has been part of that time in prison, He was in my custody on the 19th of October two years. He was apprehended at Hurlton fair for picking a lady's pocket of three half-crowns. He then absconded till January the 9th of this year, when ho was taken into custody, tried, and convicted at the Central Criminal Court, and sentenced to th ree months with hard labour in Maidstone gaol. Mr. Morgan said, that whatever might have been the previous conduct of the prisoner, the matter which formed the ground of the present charge was evidently intended as a cash transaction. Some of the officers in a ttendance said there w ere other charges of a serious nature against the p r i soner, particularly one for having obtained 4001. under false pretences. Sir It. W. Carden said there was quite evidence enough to justify the remand o f the prisoner, who was accordingly ordered to be broug ht u p again in a week. GUILDHALL.—JoIoa Brown , an old man, aged 76, a corkcutter by trade, was charg ed with attempti ng to hang himself. Mr. Johnson, landlord of th e Twelve Bolls, Bride lane, stated that the prisoner, for the last fortni g h t , had been at his house, where a society for the relief o f cork cutters was held ; and on Sunday he was informed that he had attempted to hang himself. James Boyce said that he was living in the same house, and on their going to bed he had observed some strange ness of conduct on the part of the prisoner, which In duced him to watch him, and he saw him roll up two handkerchiefs, tie them to the roller of the jack towel, and attempt to hang himself. It appeared that the prisoner bad served in the 92nd Highlanders for fourteen years, but had since been working as a corkcutter. He was now very infirm, and it appeared that he had been induced to attempt his life by distress. He was remanded with a view to his being passed to Scotland, his native country. ••••..... r a messenger in th e private bill dep artment of the Hous e BOW-STREET.—Thema Mitch ell, for man y y ears of Commons, wa s bro ug ht befor e Mr. Henry upon a warrant charged w ith s t e aling a qua ntity of stationery. Sergeant Thornton, of the detective force, stated that he received information respect in g a q uantit y of sta tionery, used by the Governm ent short-ha n d writers, which had been exposed for sale at a ! bo p in the Lon don-road. On inquiry it was a scertained that it bad been purchased of a Air. P a rkin?, 2, Church-street, Millbank, to whom it bad been origi nally . sold, with a quantity of waste paper, by the prisoner Mitchell. The sergeant now produced a certificate to account for the absence of Parkins, the most material witness in the case, who had been prevented attending by indisposition. Mr. Robert Chandler, of 50, Thurlow-square, Old Brompton, stated that be was principal committee clerk of the House of Commons until April la st, and knew t h e prisoner well. He was a messenger attached to the committee, and his income was 30s. per week, and 301. at the end of each session. He had the custody of the ruled paper used by short-band writers, but he had no authority to sell or dispose of it in any way whatever. In cross-examination by Mr. Lewis, the witness stated that he had always entertained the highest opinion of the messenger, who bore an excellent character, and was a very good husband, for he happened to know some thing of his private life also. Mr. Lewis believed it would transpire that the pri soner was actually the first person to give information of the robberies which bad taken place. Mr. Henry inquired if this was the case? Mr. Chandler—He came to me on Friday morni n g last in a state of great excitement. He seemed too over powered by his feelings to express himself. He old me that some ruled stationery had been taken awa y , b y m i s take, with some waste paper, by which it was covered and concealed. Mr. Henry—Was it known, at that time, that the robbery h.ld taken place? Jarman (who attended as cleric from the Trea sury) said it had been rumoured for acme time past that robberies had occurred. Mr. Lewis would ask Mr. Chandler if it was not cus- MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Oct. 18. The sittings of the court for the Octob-r General Quirtor Sion were resumed this morniog, at the Weatmins`er, by adjournment from Clerken well, before Mr. Serjeant Ad•sms, assistant judge, Mr. 1-I.4lswell, Mr. Stock, and Mr. Gould. The number of prisoners tor trial is 81; 71 for felony, and 10 for misdemeanonr. BETTING-OFFICES. Samuel Nesfield pleaded guilty to an indictment in which he was charged with having stolen 26 tooth brushes and other articles, value 21. 10s., the property of John Barrett, his master. The prosecutor, who carries on business at 89, Piccadilly, stated that the prisoner had been for many years in his service, and had maintained the character of a good, trusty, and honest servant until the last few months, when he became acquainted with " betting offices," the result of which connexion was his present position. The Assistant-Judge said it was certainly very much to be hoped that in the coming session, Parliament would deal with these infamous betting-houses with a very strong hand. It was an aggravation of a crime to say that it 17/15 committed before the offender had been led away by betting places; and in the present case he should not attach that weight to the prisoner's former good character that he should have done under other circumstances. He then sentenced the prisoner to six months' hard labour. INFAMOUS EXTORTION. Richard Purnell, 65, was indicted for having unlaw. filly obtained from Ann Edwards, a sovereign and a half sovereign, with latent to cheat her thereof. Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner had represented himself to be an officer of th© Society for the Protection of Women, and from time to time had obtained sums of money from the prusteetrix by threatening to indict her for keeping a brothel, unless she supplied him with more money. Mr. Henry Joseph Newman, secretary to the Society for the Protection of Women, proved that the prisoner never was is any way connected with the society, and had never acted under its authority. The prisoner, making great flourish of his dirty papers, then entered on his defence, addressing the jury in a deeply indignant tone of voice. Ho said that for eight or ten years he had been engaged by different parishes in the metropolis to assist in procuring proofs required in brothel prosecutions—a calling perhaps not of the most respectable kind, but which he hoped would rire: now prejudice him. He had been engaged in patting down two brothels in the neighbourhood of the prosecu trix's house, at the instigation of the Rev. Mr. Harness and others, and he thought he had a right to prosecute her house, as it became the head quarters of the gay women who were expelled from the other houses. Ho had complained to Mr. Robinson, a lawyer, who was the landlord, that the house was being carried on as a brothel, and ho had desired her quit, through his clerk. He made the most solemn asservations that the charge against him was concocted by a conspiring band of brothel keepers, who sought his ruin because he had prosecuted them and compelled them to move from place to place. He should call the prosecutrix's husband to prose that she was so intolerable that he allowed her 201. a year to live away from her. James Edwards was then called into the box. The prisoner first b: gap to question him as to his ife's character, and then as to her brother's, but he was at once stopped, as, in the first respect, evidence could not be given by a husband against his wife; aud, in the second, that it had nothing to do with the case. The prisoner then packed up his documents and said that was all the evidence he had to call. The Assistant Judge, in summing up, said if the pri soner's story w: re true, he could have produced Mr. Harness to give evidence of his having been employed by him in brothel cases, and if he had, Mr. Harness, a respectable gentleman, would not have abandoned him in his hour of need. The prisoner had made assertions about the prosecutrix's house which were utterly con tradicted, instead of being, as if true they might have been, corrocorated, and therefore they ought to be looked upon as entirely groundless. The jury, after a short deliberation, found the pri soner—Guilty. The Assistant Judge—The prisoner was about the most notorious rogue in London. He lived by this infamous system of fraud and extortion. He had been convicted twice ; on one occasion he was transported, and on another be was sentenced to a year's hard labour. It had been repeatedly necessary that he should caution grand juries of the character of this person in brothel indictments, but latterly this system had not been car ried on to its former extent, because in every indict ment it was now required that the person prosecuting should enter into a recognisance to prosecute with effect, and to swear an affidavit that there was no difficulty in the way of apprehending the defendants. Bet, though that had been to some extent put an end to, the prisoner had gone about frightening people out of their wits, and pursuing a complete system of extortion. Even were the prosecutrix a brothel keeper, of which there was not the slightest evidence, these extortionate practices must not be resorted to. It was not to be endured, and must be put down with a severe hand. It was impossible that a gentleman like Mr Harness could have been mixed up with such a person. Prisoner—Yes, and 140 housekeepers besides. The Assistant Judge said he certainly recollected a case in which the prisoner was employed by a parish, but a pretty mess the parochial officers got into in con sequence. Ho then sentenced the prisoner to one year's hard labour. PARCEL ROBBERY. William James Crawford, 20, was indicted for hav ing stolen a parcel containing clothes, the property of the London Parcels Delivery Company. The prisoner was driver of one of the company's de livery carts, and the parcel in question was one which had been entrusted to them for delivery. The property was pawned by a person named Taylor, on whose testi mony the charge rested. In cross-examination matters were elicited which the learned Counsel contended would not justify his being believed on oath. The jury came to this conclusion, and acquitted the prisoner without hesitation. SECOND COURT. Before Mr. NV rritAm, Deputy Asaistant Judge. FURTHER EFFECTS OF BETTING•UOUSES. John Bowsher, 32, was indicted for having telo niously embezzled the several sums of Si., 14s. 9d , and 31., re ceived Gilbert rG. i p soo e .ssn.eis Nichol p2 e h3e /sT BhA.o i h is4io o sono l :Boa, stated and 242 , er n d2r d 4i et2 a dh, n aoß o t n t ehhgbei business ist h ne. i sel s fts rse m e ane a sdt s silt h e i ali r nka s Mr. by him for and on account, and in th e name of part-ol thed mer cers, e n e e r r s , prisoner had been in their employ as porter for the last two years. It was his duty to take out goods and re ceive the money for them. On the 18th September he was sent with some goods to the house of Mrs. Beattie, in Upper Harley-street, and was to bring back the sum of 51. 14s. 9d., but he did not do so. A receipt, however, given by the prisoner for that amount had been pro duced. It was his duty to pay the amount to either of the two clerks, but no money had been received. He had recently discovered that he had received another bill of 31. of Mrs. Rawlinson, of Portland-street, which he had never accounted for. Mr. Lovett, chief clerk and cashier, said, on the 18th of September, he delivered to the prisoner a parcel, to be taken to No. 20, Upper Harley-street, and un his re turn he was asked if he had received the money, and he said he had not. On the 4th of August he received 31. from Miss Rawlinson, which he had never paid in. Proof was then given that the prisoner had been paid the money by the parties in question, and the receipts were produced given by him for the respective amounts. Holder, police-constable 42 C. proved taking the pri soner into custody, and on searching him found Si. ls., with the betting-house cards and betting-book now prod aced. said that he had paid t h e T 3 h l e . t p o r iosno one e o r f , t i h n late master's employment, and t hat with respect to the ehcilserdkesfe,nweh% had since then left hi s other sum, being very short of money at the time, he had made use of part of it, but that be intended to make it up on the Monday, the day on which they had to ren der their accounts to the cashier. As to the betting cards, the events to which they referred occurred five or six months ago, and therefore they could be of no use to any one. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Witham sentenced the prisoner to hard labour for nine months. NIGGER STOKERI3,— , The pilots on the Mississipp steam-boats tell travellers that they cannot afford to have negro stokers—they are to. espensiee :—Every time a boiler bursts they would lose so many:dollars' worth of slaves ; whereas, by getting Irishmen at a dollsar a day they pay for the article as they get it, and if it is blown up, why they get another acid only lose a day's wages by the transaction ! Mr. Sullivan observes in his " Rambles and Scrambles," just issued, that he could not help being amused at the commiseration expressed for a certain doctor, a large slave-owner, who had just lost ten negroes by the sinking of a boat in the river. "Not a feelieg of pity was vouchsafed to the unfortunate negroes; but he, poor man ! it was a heavy loss to him, especially as just at that time negroes were looking up ; and, moreover, his losses during the cholera s'oson had been very heavy !" THE LURGAN ESTATE.—The Right Hon. Lord Lurgan is now granting leases to his tenantry on the Lurgan esiares, and is personally inspecting their farms and making himself fully acquainted with their several circumstances, so as to be able to form a correct judgment. tomary for the messenger to receive a quantity of waste p4 per occasionally to dispose of as he might think pro- per? Mr. Chandler—lt sometimes happened that when space was inconveniently occupied by old printed bills, which had become useless from being subsequently aiterecl, and newspapers, an order was given to the mes a enger to take them away; but it never happened that such an order was given with respect to the stationery used by the shorthand writers, which could not be mis taken for waste paper. Sergeant Thornton showed by the books of Mr. Parkins, the purchaser of the property, that 2.31. per cwt. had been paid to Mitchell for 1,100 of waste paper, and 293. per cwt. for 3001 of the ruled stationery. Mr. Henry—lt is uselet.s to urge that the stationary was passed in mistake for the waste paper, because it is here shown that the prisoner received a higher price for it. 0 wing to the absence of Parkins, his Worship remanded the prisoner for further examination. Mr. Lewis applied to have his client admitted to bail, but the application was refused. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —Jantes Phillips, tho man who was charged on Monday last with the wilful murder of his aunt, Ann Mathews, alias Brown, at 11, Shepherd-street, and the particulars of whose examina tion appeared in this journal on Tuesday last, was yes terday fully committed for trial. CLERKENWELL. A respectable-looking man, who said he was John Wells, carpenter, of 6, Little Cross-street, Islington, applied for advice under the fol lowing circumstances. Applicant said that about six weeks ago his wife died, and was interred in the burial ground at the back of St. Mary's Church, Islington. Some alterations were being made near the robe-room, and having heard that the re mains of the deceased ware exhumed, he, with a neigh bour, determined on keeping a nightly watch. They saw men digging, and lifting the coffins from the earth. Applicant, with Mrs. Davis, who buried her mother in July last, made application to the church - karden and the sexton upon the subject, but they could get no satisfac tory answer. They then applied to Mr. Lewis, the treasurer of the Reform Association of Islington, who also made application to the same authorities, but the only answer was, that when the bodies were re-interred information would be sent to the relatives. They ought to have given him notice as to their being exhumed. Mr. Hicks, the relieving overseer, who was present, said he had no knowledge of the affair. Mr. Corrie recommended applicant to apply again to the sexton, and to make known to him the result of his application. • ___ SOUTHWARK.—WiIIiam Miles, a tall powerful looking man, was charged with travelling in a third class carriage on the Croydon Railway without a ticket, and refusing to pay the fare. He was also charged with being drunk and acting in a disgusting manner towards the passengers in the carriage. Thomas Jordan, a ticket collector in the employ of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Com pany, said the prisoner came up on Sunday night from Croydon in a third•class carriage. As he was not pro vided with a ticket witness demanded tenpence, the fare, which defendant refused to pay, and conducted himselt in a very disgusting manner. On the arrival of the train inside the terminus witness gave him into custody, and some of the passengers also charged him with annoying them in the carriage. Michael Weedon, a tradesman, said that he and his wife got in! o the train at Annerly, and at Ne w-cross the prisoner entered the same carriage. He was very drunk, and all the way up he acted very disgustingly to his wifo and himself by tailing upon them and using bad language. He pointed out the prisoner to the ticket col lector, and atter that he became more furious, and threat ened to throw him out of the train. Another person who was in the carriage said that the prisoner also acted disgustingly towards him, and tried all he could to pick up a quarrel. He was not so drunk as not to know what he was doing. The prisoner said he took his ticket at New-cross, and must have lost it from his pocket. As for the other part of the charge, nll he could say was that he did not know what he was about. Mr. A'Beckett said the railway officer ought to have taken care of the prisoner at the ticket-collector's sta. tion, and not to have allowed him to insult tha passen gers after what Mr Weedon had told him. Ile should fine prisoner 405., or 14 days' imprisonment. Stephen Winter, a❑ ill-looking fellow, and Mary Jones and Ann Riordan, were placed at the bar before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with assaulting and robbing Mr. James Mead of a watch. The complainant stated that en Saturday night he met with the three prisoners at a public•house in Ber mondsey, where there was a concert, and remained there until 12 o'clock, at which hour they left together, and proceeded to another house, where, at their invitation, ho drank a glass of gin. He. however, had scarcely sw allowed the liquor before he was seised with giddi ness, and suspecting something of a deleterious nature was mixed in it, he became alarmed and quitted the p l a ce. He was followed by the three prisoners, and while he was conversing with one of the women (Jones) in walking along, he received a severe blow from some person behind under the ear, which knocked him down, and while he was on the ground he felt a tug at his watchguard, and the watch was dragged from his pocket. The prisoner Winter, he bad noticed a moment or two before, was walking close behind him. Before he' had time to rise from the ground the prisoners ran away, bat he pursued them. and they were taken into custody soon afterwards. The complainant here identi fied the watch produced as the one of which he had been robbed. Policeman 76 M, stated that, hearing a noise, he hastened to the spot, and saw the prisoners running away from the place where complainant was knocked down. He succeeded, however, with the assistance of another man, in taking the prisoners into custody, and the watch was found on the ground, not far distant from where they were secured. The prisoners, who asserted their innocence, were committed. THE ALLEGED MURDER AIVD SUICIDE AT sTEPNEY. LAMBETH. —DESPERATE ASSAULT. —Yesterday Fred. Warman, a smart young fellow, the assistant to a hawker, was brought up for further examination, before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of having committed a desperate assault on the person of Thomas Elliott, his former master. From the evidence of the latter, it appeared that on Friday week the prisoner abused him very much, and acknowledged to having robbed him three years ago of 151. 1.10 was so exasperated at his conduct, that he ran at him, with the intention of chastising him, when the prisoner snatched up a large tongs or pincers used by blacksmiths, and gave him a desperate blow on the head He instantly fell as if shot, and . still suffered most in tensely from the deep .vound he inflicted. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. Yesterday, t h e inquest, adjourned from Tuesday last, on the bodies of William Thomas Elliott and Jane Col lins, was resumed, before Mr. Baker, the coroner, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Nelson-street, Stepney. The following additional evidence was taken:— Mr. Henry James Taynton, member of the Royal College of Surgeons, residing in Commercial-road East, said he had examined the body of the child William Thomas Elliott, and found externally no marks, with the exception of what he had before mentioned, viz., two bruises on the back and a scratch on the cheek, which were not sufficient to account for death. On opening the chest and abdomen he found all in perfect health. On opening the head he found a great congestion of the scalp just behind the right ear ; and on opening the skull, below the dura mater was a large quantity of ex travasated blood, which diffused itself over a consider able part of the brain. He had no doubt this was the cause of death. The effect had been produced by a blow over the ear. A Juror—How long do you suppose the child had been dead ? Witness—lt was quite cold, and it might have been dead all night, but it is impossible to say precisely. Ann Greenlees, the mother of the girl, was at the re quest of a juror called, sad in answer to questions put by him, said that her daughter was very bad in her head, and strange in her conduct, but she had no idea that she was insane. She had heard that the person with whom she had lived for four years could speak as to the strangeness of her conduit whilst in her service. Elizabeth Mary Elliott, mother of the child, recalled, said after the girl came in on the night in question with both the children, the deceased was asleep in her arms, and she cautioned her (witness) against waking her. She trusted the girl as much as if she had keen her own child. She had no other recommendation with her but what she received from her parents, a's they were very respectable persons. She did not go up into the room to see her child after he was pat to bed, as she had the utmost confidence in her. There being no further evidence forthcoming, The Coroner summed up the evidence. The jury said it was their wish to return an open verdict, and accordingly gave in to the coroner " That on the 11th of October, the deceased, William Thomas Elliott, was found dead in bed, the death caused, as it appeared on the post mortem examination, by an effusion and extravasation of blood on the brain, but how that was produced there was no evidence before the jury to show." Tho Coroner—And I suppose in the case of the girl you are of opinion that she destroyed herself whilst in a state of temporary insanity. The Foreman having consulted with the jury, said they wished on that point also to return an open verdict, as they had no evidence to show that she committed the act, and it was their wish to spare the feelings of her relatives. The Coroner —But do you not think that if you return such a verdict as that you will be throwing a suspicion on some other persona ? It is due to the per sons in the house not to leave her death as a matter of doubt, for I have myself not the slightest moral doubt that she first killed the child, and then took away her own life. The Foreman said that a majority of the jury appeared to be opposed to the views of the Coroner ; upon which he said that in that case it would be better that the room should be cleared, and then they could discuss the mat ter amongst themselves. After nearly an hour's consultation the reporters Vere admitted, and it was stated that the jury had, in the case of Jane Collins, returned a ver(iiet, '"rhat she bad destroyed herself whilst in a state of temporary insanity. The proceedings then terminated, A general court-martia held at Cleatham on Sa turday, Colonel Kelly president, for the trial of Private Henry Smith, 4th Regiment of Dragooons, for insubor dination. The Court found the prisoner guilty. Evi dence of former convictions were placed before the Court. The issue of the trial cannot be known until it is confirmed by the 'Terse Guards.

The troops were on the grounds shortly before twelve o'clock, and the review did not terminate till two. The different regiments went through their several evolutions in a manner that elicited the marked approval of his Royal Highness, who expressed himself highly pleased with their soldier-like bearing and dis cipline. We regret that an accident occurred to two of the Artillery, both being thrown from their horses with such force as to cause one to have his arm broken, and another his shoulder dislocated. At the inspection of the 3d Dragoon Guards, under Lieut.-Colonel Arthur, on Tuesday, by the Duke of Cambridge, the Prince minutely examined into every department of the corps, and in his view of the riding house he pointed cut some improvements to the engineer, Captain Graves, who concurred with his Royal High ness, and felt satisfied his suggestions would be carried out.

POE TSIIOUTH, OCT. 18 The Termagant, 24, screw frigate, Captain Gifford, steamed out to Spithead this morning, and saluted the Port Admiral. She is ready now for service, and, it is said, will be sent for a month's trial in the Channel. A private letter from the Brazil squadron gives us the movements on that station to the 30th of August. On the 4th the Vixen steam-sloop, Commander Barnard, arrived at Buenos Ayres, having on board his Excel lency Captain Sir Charles Rotham, R. N., Minister ' Plenipotentiary to the Argentine Government ; the Secretary of Legation, Mr. G. Thornton ; and the en tire suite connected with the embassy. As the Vixen could not enter the inner roads, from her draught of water being too great, the Locust steam vessel, Lieu tenant-Commander Day, proceeded out to her, and con veyed the Minister and suite into the inner roads near the landing-place. On Wednesday, the 11th, General Urqniza having ordered two carriages of state to wait on Sir C. Hotham, he, accompanied by the Hon. Captain Gore, R.N., Charg4 d'Affaires at Buenos Ayres, and the entire diplomatic staff in their full uniforms, attended by an escort of cavalry, proceeded to the Government-house to be presented. They were received in a most gratifying manner, the fort firing a Royal salute, and a regiment of infantry with their band were drawn up in front of the Government-house to pay full honours to her Majesty's representatives. The French Minister, Le Chevalier de St. Georges, was received with similar demonstrations of respect. The result of the meeting is already known. The Vixen and Locust are stationed at BuenosAyres; the Ce❑taur at Rio; the Express and Bonetta at Bahia; the Rifleman is cruising off St. Catherine's.

The accident happened through an express train sunning into a goods train on the same line of rails. The exact particular s h have not transpired, but from the best information that can be obtained it appears that the up express train, which leaves Gloucester at 4.30 p.m. for Birmingham, arrived in duo time Brows grove, the last station at which it stops before running into Birmingh am. Th e 0, l train left Bromsgrove at about a quarter past si x c ock ' but had not proceeded far be fore the driver saw another train in advance. He immediately shut off the his whistle, and steam, sounded did all he l cou dto stop the train, but the rapid speed at which it was proceeding rendered a collision unavoidable, and in another minute the express train dashed into the goods train, smashing one or two waggons and severely shaking and bruising the passengers. Some of the pas sengers received more severe injuries, and one of them sustained a concussion of the brain, and is now lying dangerously ill, Bcth trains were disabled, and the Birmingham passengers did not arrive until two hours after time, and lost the trains to London and the north. One account of the transaction is that the driver of the goods train was crossing the line to proceed to the Camp-hill goods station, and that a policeman whose dut) it was to signal the trains omitted to do so, and has since been dismissed from his situation by the Midland directors.
