It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether aoquired ._ 4 early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering lons their invariable consequeeces, unvrisely entertains a fear of ap- AlYieg to a qualified physician for relief.

Mr. BUTT—I left that to the jury, to judge for them selves. [PRICE SD. L CHIEF JUSTICE—Just so, and a great many other things. I now come to the passage in his speech in which he advised them to fraternize with the French. I will not again advert to the meaning which the word " fraternize" is intended to bear, but merely observe., that in the whole of this speech it is another word for co-operation and assistance. If you can give it any otber meaning, I am free to say you are at - hberty to do so. Nay, more, if you give it a meaning different from ,that which I give it, you are bound to reject my meaning and adopt your own. From that speech it appeared that it was his opinion that in case of an invasion, the Queen's subjects in Ireland should do their duty provided they were granted their own Parliament. That language (subject, I shall say, to your better judgment) appears to me to be perfectly unequivocal, and a direct threat that unless the repeal of the union is conceded the loyalty of the Irish is no longer to be calculated upon. Nay, that they would rather regard as friends than intruders the common enemy of the country. Ile then goes on to make use of language the plain object of which is to induce his hearers, and those who may read his speech, to believe that. - those who exercise the powers of government in France are perfectly prepared to aid them in their project. What other object could there be than the intimidation of the persons who, either as Members of Parlia ment or members of the Government, were to judge of this question of the repeal of the union? He next suggests the formation of what is called an Irish brigade, to be paid and disciplined in a foreign country; and gives an advice that those who hear him shall attend to be delivered, as a preliminary to the formation of a National Guard. Now, on my mind (subject to your better judgment), those are nothing more than a detail of hostile means and threats of foreign force and assistance, the object of which is to accomplish the utter overthrow of the Imperial Legislature, but that opinion is not to control yours; and if you come to a dif ferent conclusion, then your verdict will be according to your views, and not according to mine. I have next to call your attention to the parts of the speech that are omitted; and, with one exception, I have not heard a pas sage read which either qualifies, retracts, or explains the parts that are set forth in the information. The only pas sage which appears to be relied upon by the traverser's counsel has been that which speaks of the intention of the people to arm as a means of preserving themselves against the aggressions of the Government. I must say with respect to that, that is not only highly improbable, neither cause intention to the Government. If, gentlemen, you will take the trouble of going over the remainder of the speech as I have done, I think you will find that so far from the parts omitted either qualifying or contradicting but it is grossly libellous in itself, to impute any such is, and excitin g anything in the portions of the speech set out in the and the very same injunctions with regard to the defence that has been made, and the speeches that have been informeatsiowno,r oaths o is n a y r o e u i r terationofthe very sane opinion quoted in condemnation of the legislative union. It is 3 1 . s o n u o a t r to be repealed, has no connexion with the question as it is , I wish you to look upon it on its , whether m p y ort p i ornotvhoi that t c province or measure yuuorryea whether be to dr o i gr e eh n tt t i e ro r elrd u w i ri o tloh n lnesg t to try. . conclusion —that 'at important and interesting as this case After a own merits, and to d' dices which may haveischarge your minds of any preju dices court; and I trust result that your verdict may do justice a h y em ti:is be in impressions. of your own sober and impas sioned, Foreman e i s m o a n r asked the Chief Justice into their consideration those they ought not to take Mr. O'Brien which were not portions of th e speec h o f trial ? submitted to th em on t h e The CHIE? JUSTICE directed those jurors whohad left the the box to be recalled, and then told them might consider that porti on o f t h e speeu huf th t a h t e they verser where he condemned th e r i ots i n London, t:nad. praised the order which characterised the French Revo lution. Whilst the jury were absent a great number of persons, including ladies, remained in court in anxious expecta tion of the result. Shortly before seven o'clock the jury returned into their box, and Chief Justice Blackburn being sent for, now re-appeared on the bench. The Foreman, Mr. Fitzgerald, said—My Lord, the jury have not agreed to a verdict. The ChM JUSTICE—WeII, gentlemen, it is better to adjourn the court, say until ten o'clock at night. The Foreman—My Lord, there is no probability of our agreeing even then. The CI:RIF JUSTICE—The jury may now retire. The jury having returned to their room, Sir C. O'LOGHLEN suggested that ten o'clock should be fixed. This was agreed upon, and bailiffs were sworn to permit no communication with the jury. The court was soon after empty. During the entire evening immense crowds continued outside the courts. F Shortly after seven o'clock Mr. Smith O'Brien and some friends appeared outside, and the disagreement of the jury being then kno w n tremendous cheering arose. As Mr. O'Brien proceeded along Ormond-quay, vast crowds followed, cheering all the way to his re sidence in Westland-row, where he appeared at a window of Gilbert's Hotel, and addressed the populace, congratulating them on the prospects of the popular cause, and the good order that had prevailed during the day. ADJOURNMENT OF THE COURT-THE JURY LOCKED UP FOR THE NIGHT. At ten o'clock P.M., the Chief Justice came into court, when the jury were called into the box. The Foreman stated there was not the least probability of their agreeing to a verdict. —CHIEF JUSTICE—WeII, Mr. Attorney, have you any thing to say ? The ATTOREY.GENERAL—No, my Lord. Mr. BUTT—My Lord -- CHIEF JUSTICE—I cannot hear anything from you, Mr. Butt. A Juror—My Lord, ere we to be locked up for the night ? CHIEF JUSTlCE—Certainly. A Juror—Well, my Lord, I hope you will order us refreshments. CHIEF JUSTICZ—No, it is impossible I can ordar you any refreshments. I adjourn the court to ten o'clock tomorrow morning. The jury were then locked up for the night; the portly gentlema❑ who asked for the refreshments left the box with despair evidently depicted on his counte nance.

The plaintiff he would be was put in, Blackstat to bring the present recovery of da mages,ceive a pecuniary offer. This closed the plaintiff's case. Mr. Ser , T geant arsounD then proceeded toaddress the jury for the defendant. The Learned Sergeant contended that no breach of the defendant's in fact proved. The defendant had r promise was truth awakened from that state of unhappy infatuatio n n which lovers were generally but too apt to forget the realities position, and seeing the folly of beginning 'ties of their world with nothing, he had written the the of the Bth of August to the plaintiff The t e letter made no reply to that letter, but a plai9tiff fortnight afterwards went to her attorney and instructeci in effect that money alone was what she wanted. n2 ? p) yeartSi i the breaking servantbarnedaka There the matter rested. The plaintiff had sued in her maiden name in her former action against a nobleman en the present occasion by the name of her a d o p t i on. ' The probabilities were that she had attempted to trade on her misfortune, and had held herself out as a widow of a Mr. Black, with a legitimate son provided for, and the poor defendant, as a railway clerk, had fallen into the snare. It was not likely that the defendant would have formed such a connexion had he known the plaintiff's true position. There was nothing to show that when he knew of the plaintiff's former action he was aware that she had been the paramour of a nobleman. In the former action the plaintiff bad recovered 3001. damages. There was no doubt but that money was now her object, but she could not expect to recover that sum again, as she had not been seduced a second time. He hoped the jury would not think this a case for heavy damages; but, whatever their verdict might impose on the defendant, it would be preferable to accepting the plaintiff and poverty without virtue. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, said there could be no doubt that the evidence established that a promise had been made, though it was not clearly proved that there had been a breach of it. That, how ever, was not put in issue by the pleadings. The defen dant relied on the plea of fraud as a discharge of his promise, and the question for the jury to consider would be whether the defendant was aware at the time that he made the promise to the plaintiff that she had had a child. Of this they must satisfy themselves from the evidence. Supposing the jury thought that he did not know of the plaintiff's having had a child, the question of damages would arise, and the jury must impose such reasonable damages as the circumstances of the case might to them seem to demand, taking into account the defendant's means. The jury, after about half an hoar's absence, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, one farthing. This finished the sittings after term at Westminster. I IRISH STATE PROSECUTIONS. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. TRIAL OF MR. SMITH O'BRIEN. DUBLIN, MONDAY NlGHT.—After the post left this evening, The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE charged the jury. He said—ln this case her Majesty's Attorney-General had filed an information against the traverser, W.S. O'Brien, the subject of which information are certain passages of a speech delivered by him on the 15th of March, in the present year. I say certain passages, because you are all aware there was a large portion of that speech now wlich is not transcribed into this information, and which, so far, is not for you in any way to consider thsn this: that having heard that 3 part which is stated in the indictment, as well as t hat p art which is omitted , it is now for you to consider whether the portions that are omitted either qualify, retrac t, or explain, that which is the subject•matter of the information. . The first con sideration for you will be , whet her this be a seditious speech in the particulars charged b y her her Majesty's Attor ney General ? So far as regards' the speaking of this speech, there exists no difficulty. If there did, it would be a matter for your consideration ; but it is conceded that the report of Mr. Hodges is a correct .. and accurate O'Brien; report of the speech delivered by Mr. Smith so on that subject you have no difficulty. The diffi culty in the case, whatever be its amount in value con sists in this—whether you on your oaths shall be able to find th a t th ose portions of the speech, or any of them, were delivered with a ll o r any of the intentions charged in the i n f ormat i on? That i s a su bject exclusively for you to consider. In the assistance which it will be my duty to render you, I shall first call your attention to the designs with which this speech is charged to have been uttered on the information. I need not define to you what sedition is, because I am quite prepared to say that if the language used by Mr. S. O'Brien was with any one of th • intents charged by this information , e it was highly sedwiati:uist; and t therefore the question, as I before said, is, intents, tor I tell .ouu.ftered with all or any of those i guage. I have now to were, it was seditious an made against Mr. your attention to the charge you before, that if any of f e t t and to repeat what I told . se designs are made out to your satisfaction, the to him is establisher:n(lN of sedition imputed next observation I have to makeors'thisg.elnutleumunesni,derituhge the language which is the subject - matter of thi s c h arge, your duty is to understand that 1.-n guage--as the per sons to whom it was addressed should arcaunderstandmind, it. It we mu s t is no matter what may pas s i n a thos e judge of his intention by his words, and must be taken to be uttered with th e i ntentionof Words veying that meaning which the word s themselves, plain natural signification, import ; and it is no;. in the power of any man having uttered certain words, to put upon them a construction different from their ordi nary meaning. He must stand or fall by the meaning which those who hear them attribute to them. And you must see at once that if that were not the law, a n responsibility for spoken or written language would be at an end; and again I say, you will be bound t o ta k e up the report of this speech, and read it as those to whom it was addressed understood it. By that understanding you are to bind the defendant to that from which the law does not allow bins to escape—for otherwise the evasion of the law must be universal. You will observe that all these are preliminary remarks which I wish to impress on your mind as the key or index by which you are to be controlled and regulated when you come to consider the language of this speech. The next observations I will make to you are on the subject of the; repeal of the union. Now, gentlemen, the repeal of the union means this and nothing else—the union consists in the Acts of the Irish and British Parliament. Those are the Acts of the two Legislatures, the result of which was the legislative union of the two countries. And those Acts of Parliament, I have to tell you, can only be repealed by law, and are only capable of being repealed by an Act of the Imperial Legislature. There is no other power by which that repeal can be legiti mately effected, but that repeal, so to be effected, is an object which it is perfectly lawful for any man to contemplate, and by legal means to bri ng t o p ass . A s i t can only be legally effected by the act of the Legislature, the means by which that act is to be brought about, are those which must be ordinarily familiar to you as the means by which the Legislature may be moved to exercise its functions. It is the right of every subject to petition the Legislature for the repeal of the union. It is the yight of every man, by his representa tive in Parliament, to endeavour to procure the repeal of that Act. It is the right of every man fully, fairly, and freely, liberally and without control, to discuss the merits, and expose the demerits of any act of the Go vernment, or of any act of the Legislature, and there are no weans which reason, persuasion, or personal influence can supply, or any other mod e affecting individual will and action, which can be imagined, that are not lawfully open to every man who wishes to effect changes in the law of the land; but these are all preliminary in their nature to the act of the Legislature, by which alone they can be accomplished. And if you should be of opinion, on the consideration of this speech, that it is confined to means of the kind I have mentioned—that is to say, by means of argument, reason, and persuasion —effects are produced which are calculated in their nature to work upon the minds of those who are to make the laws of the country, it is exempt from the charge of being seditious —it is an act which every subject of the realm has the right to perform, in order legally to accomplish that legal purpose. But while I have on the one hand told you how it is lawful to act, I must come to another consideration, and a material one in the considera tion of this subject. However lawful or legitimate the repeal of the Acts of Union may be in themselves, they are not to be accomplished by the use of illegal means; they are not to be accomplished by actual force; they are not to be accomplished by the threat of force; they are not to be accomplished by the threat of foreign invasion, or by foreign recruits, or money, or assistance. The use of these means, and the advice to have recourse to them are utterly illegal. I may say of them, that the acts are treasonable and the advice is seditious. You will have to bear in mind this important question as to the construction of these words, and the natural, plain, and obvious meaning of them. Is it such as to fall within the class of means which I have mentioned as being perfectly legitimate, or does it fall within that class which includes exhortations to violence—threats of force, and threats of foreign invasion? That will be for your consideration, because if that be your de liberate judgment on considering this speech, you will have no alternative but to pronounce it seditious, and seditious in a high degree. But there is a third view of this subject which must not be omitted, because there are passages inf k this publication, which, if they do not fall within the second class of illegal means which have been dis closed, seem to deserve to fall within another class requiring consideration, and that is, whether the repeal of the union be not a mere pretext; and whether, run ning through this speech, there be not a third view, and whether it does not mean the dismemberment, by force and foreign aid and assistance, of Ireland from the British empire. I am pointing out this to you, not as the actual construction of this speech, for it will be for Sou to decide what that is, but I am pointing to it as possible that, in certain passages of this speech, that may have been, if not the intention of the traverser, at least the meaning which his words are calculated to create; and having done so much by way of preliminary observation, I will call your attention a little in detail to the speech which is the subject -matter of this pro secution; and, after I have done that, I will advert, for the purpose of bringing them before you distinctly, to the topics of defence which the traverser's counsel has relied upon, and see whether they aro calculated to re move the impression which the evidence of the Crown is considered entitled to make. The meeting at which the speech was made was held on the 15th of March, Ito t adopt an address of congratulation to the citizens of the French Republic. It was, I will !tot say more of it, a very precipitate move—an early m an if estation to Conciliate parties in France, who had just overthrown the established institutions of the °untrY. The address to the French people is drawn ep by Mr. O'Brien himself. I will not go over any por t this address which does not directly bear on the sub • ject before me; but for the purpose of seeing whether Mr. O'B r i en be guilty or innocent, you must look to every part of it connected with the charge against him. tie is entitled to have every part of it read, to show if be can, the absence of sedition, and he is bound by every part of it that shows the presence of sedition. His Lordship, having read passages from the address to the *'rench people, and from the Youghall address, con tanued—Gentlemen, it is needless to say that the Par liament of England. which is called a usurpation in that address, is the Imperial Parliament, and that address o propounds the overthrow of that Parliament l i C ts : l 'i Unquestionably, the word "overthrow" does import something, I would say, different fromulitrsndisnoamrye and legitimate means. The very term imparts a l course; ne-action and some irregular or unconstitutional phrase, or 13ut I should be sorry indeed to fix upon tb say that was necessarily its th the canino.g overthrow the legislative is for you t i p say whether it meant e ofgtishlealtimve iierial Parliament by the repeal union—that repeal to be effected by the known and constitutional means of repealing an Act of Parliament, dr to overthrow it by the use of force—by the seduction df the soldiery and const abular y , and b y the solicita t i on f foreign aid and assistance. I have to call your att a on to the suggestion contained in Mr. O'Brien's sp e e c ri l; ith respect to the landlord class ; and there a state of t iings different fr om re p eal was hinted at, for it was s a id t at the property of the l a ndlords w ould be confiscated s the penalty of their supporting the connexion be tlween the two countries. Ile next addresses his hearers tdus :—" I would advise you to fraternise with every silage you have been in the habit of considering as hostile, rod I think it is your duty to fraternize with the soldiers." I don't pretend to give an accurate descrip t on of the word " fraternize," but I am able to suggest to you what it means here as used by this speaker, and Ido suggest to you that he:is exhorting them to confede te with the soldiers to secure their sympathy—to ake them partners in his designs, and to make them i t to instruments of carryi ng his designs into execution. he next passage was addressed to another body of the queen's forces (the constabulary), whose support or neu tfality it was plainly the object of the speaker to secure.

COURT OF EXCHE (2 UER, May 16. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the C H IEF Beaos and a . . Special Jury.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL v. FIlimAN. This was an information filed by the Attorney- General against Sarah Firman, to obtain the condemna tion of 625 gallons of sweet spirits of nitre, and 93 carboys in which it was contained. The Solicitor-General conducted the case for the Crown, and Mr. Martin appeared for the defendant. It appeared that the spirit in question was manu factured by a person of the name of Bailey, who kept a distillery in Glob e - roa d, w hi c h in 1845 was entered by the Excise officer s , an d th e s pirits and apparatus seized, in consequence of th e di s till e ry not having been properly entered at the Excise-office. Subsequently the defend ant's house was entered, and the 625 gallons of spirit and the 93 ca r b o y s were also seized. The main ques tion in the case was whether sweet spirits of nitre was a . spirit within the meaning of the law and liable to a duty. The JUDGE told the jury that he was of opinion that sweet spirits of nitre was entirely an article of commerce, perfectly well known and distinguishable from spirits, and treated as such by several enactments; but he left it to them to say whether it was in their opinion a mechanical mixture or a chemical combination. If they were of opinion that the spirit was in an uncombined state they would find for the Crown, but if they were not satisfied on that point their verdict ought to be for the defendant. _ . The jury found for the defendant. A bill of exceptions was tendered by the Crown. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 16. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Lord Chief Justice WILDE and a Common Jury.) BLACK V. CARR. This was an action fora breach of promise of marriage. The defendant pleaded that he did not make the pro mise, and a special plea of fraud. Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Wordsworth appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd for the de fendant. The Learned COUNSEL for the plaintiff briefly opened the case, the facts of which will be found in the evidence. Mrs. Jane Miller stated that she was the wife of Mr. W. Miller, and resided near Eaton-square, and resided in Albany-street, Regent's-park, a few years ago. The plaintiff's father is a tailor in Oxford-street, named Upsdale. She first became acquainted with the plaintiff and her sister Martha when they lived in Regent-street. About three years ago they lived in Park -street, Re gent's-park. The plaintiff and her sister carried on business distinct from their father, as milliners. She saw the defendant once at the plaintiff's house in 1844. The defendant then addressed the plaintiff as Miss Upsdale. The plaintiff had a child, and the defendant saw it frequently, and she had heard the defendant speak to the child, calling it by the name of a nobleman. In 1846 or 1847, she heard the defendant speaking something to the plaintiff and her sister about a breach of promise of marriage which appeared in the paper. They were joking together on the sofa about it. In an swer to the defendant, Martha said it referred to her sister, the plaintiff ; the defendant replied he knew it did, though he asked ; but it would make no difference to him as regarded their future happiness, and he would love and protect the child as though it were his own, and he wished it to remain at school until after the wed ding-day. The defendant said he knew that the child belonged to a person named . The plaintiff and defendant always appeared on terms of courtship, and he was in the habit of addressing her as " Dear Ma tilda." In July, 1847, she saw a basket arrive from the country, and heard the defendant say that the marriage was to take place in September ; and be wished the wedding bonnets to be produced. They were taken out of the package and put on in defendant's pre sence. Witness had then got on the wedding s s w e s a s were r h e a v t e n w heo r s n i v a e t r t h g e r e c 3 e ,. r e m o T n n y e . bonnet, et , wedding which dresses defendant wished the plaintiff to advertise her property, as her furniture would be of no use to him. The plaintiff's furniture was worth 2501. to 3001. The de fendant wished the marriage to be kept quite secret, and said it was time enough for his friends to know of it when it appeared in the paper. The defendant also told the plaintiff that his situation was worth about 2001. a year. He also said that upon the marriage he would put 1001. in his pocket, and the plaintiff would have her choice of Dover or Paris for a wedding jaunt. He also told the plaintiff that he could furnish a house which would cost him 5001.; and that she was to keep one or two servants, or more if she required it. The defendant wished to be married at Old St. Pancras Church, be cause he had had a favourite sister married there to an Irish clergyman. The plaintiff after this almost entirely gave up her business. Cross examined—The plaintiff, after the birth of the little boy, took the name of Mrs. Black, and went, in Camden -town, by that name. The plaintiff let out her first floor to lodgers, and her servant went by the name of Black. The servant knew her name was Upsdale. The little boy was five years old. Mrs. Black would not have accepted a man with only 801. a year, as it would not have supported her as a lady, with a servant to wait upon her. Miss Martha Upsdale examined —She was the plain tiff's sister, and her father resided in Oxford-street. Her father bad two daughters and five sons. The plaintiff was his eldest daughter and 28 years of age. The plaintiff and herself lived at Camden.town about five )ears ago. The defendant first visited the plaintiff there about three years ago. The little boy went by the name of "Charles Black," and called the plaintiff "mamma." The child sometimes went by the surname of a nobleman, and she had heard him so called in the defendant's presence, and by the defendant himself. Had heard the defendant speak of a breach of promise of marriage, which he had read in the newspapers. He asked witness whether it was herself or sister. Witness told him it was her sister, the plaintiff. Defendant said it would not make any difference to him, he should respect her all the same, and always love and respect the child. The defendant told her he knew that the child was provided for. Remembered the order for the wedding vember. The defendant wished to be married the first week in September; and he chose silver-grey for the wedding dresses and inspected the wedding bonnets. The business of plaintiff and witness, as milliners, was worth from 3001. to 400/. a year when the defendant first visited the plaintiff. They sometimes all used to dine together on a Sunday with witness's father, who used often to take them out in the phaeton She heard de fendant say his salary was 200/. a Ye a r . for the A number of letters.wsre now put in d plaintiff, addressed to her from the defendrt_......oiame,” antedd ad 20th of March, 1847, was signed to a d her as " M dressed to Mrs. Black.

At Worship-street Police-court, yesterday, Sarah Rogers, charwoman, was placed at the bar, on suspicion of having been concerned in the murder of a little boy between six and seven years of age, named Henry Lazarus, who had been found dead in Spitalfields that morning, having been most inhumanly murdered, for the mere sake of the clothes that were stripped from his person. The occurrence had caused an extraordinary sensation amongst the Jewish population in the neigh bourhood of Spitalfields. _ _ David Lazarus, the father, a Jew dealer, living at No. 26, Tenter-street, Spitalfivlds, deposed that the de ceased, who was six-and-a-half years old, was safe in the house at half•past nine on Monday night, and a quarter of an hour afterwards was sitting on the door step, while the other two children were playing about outside. At ten o'clock they were called in to go to bed, but only two entered; and the deceased was no where to be found, and was not again heard of until yesterday morning, when he was found dead in the neighbourhood, and stripped of his clothing. his clothes were a cord jacket and trousers, and a striped silk handkerchief round his neck, and all the things had a fresh and new appearance. Abraham Lazarus, a relative, living a No. 14 in the same street, said he saw the child at five o'clock on Monday evening, dressed as described, and on his being missed was about all night with the father and others in search of him. Soon after seven yesterday morning he was called into an adjoining yard by a neighbour's ser vant, and there, under a board placed slanting against the wall, found the body of the child quite dead, and stripped of all the clothing except the shirt, the stock ings, and the handkerchief. He had evidently been strangled with the handkerchief, which was twisted round the throat, and secured with four or five tight knots. The face was discoloured, the eyes nearly start ing from their sockets, the tongue protruding from the mouth, and partly cut through with the teeth.

The pri soner exclaimed, that at the station-house she would tell who had bought the child's clothes, and should thus be able to clear herself. He had not said a word to her about the clothes, but he then accompanied her to the station, where she asserted that a person in Frying-pan alley had bought the clothes. Police•constable 207 ii said, he was with the last witness when the prisoner was taken to the station house. On the way thither, she told him that a Mr. Lyons, in Frying-pan-alley, had bought the clothes that morning. Mr. Abraham Lyons was now examined, and said he had never seen the prisoner before, that he knew of, and he assured the magistrate that he had not purchasseeoddnsahnaiydn e s hl orr i fe n hgl mhce: murdered anaurMurzdndra(ddri (namedtni uehnt drshe:atadyhat prisoner trdhsi child'ss te o tr h n epee e etr prisonerstcane In person clothes dt i hnegws whomafwsr oai several nssmhnueopacnp p e wran e en named stt thathhilboughtieels. cloth ing hT w t t ee h o o rn e s m y t w et seven o'clock that morning.

Mr. lIAMMILL said, it was manifest from the evidence he had heard that a cruel and cold-blooded murder had been perpetrated upon the unfortunate child, and he therefore felt it his duty, under the facts detailed, to order a remand of the prisoner for a week, that the po lice might be afforded an ample opportunity of prosecut ing their inquiries for a further elucidation of the circumstances attaching to the murder, which were cer tainly of a somewhat mysterious character. It is not thought that the prisoner is the real mur deress, and up to a late hour last night the police had not succeeded in tracing the perpetrator of the horrid crime with any degree of certainty. BATTERSEA STARCH-WORKS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Perceiving in your paper of to-day a paragraph headed " Destructive Fire at the Battersea Starch works," in which it was stated that the entire building was gutted and the stock wholly consumed, we shall feel obliged by your at once correcting this error. The facts are simply these :—We have eight stoves in connexion with our manufactory, detached from the main building, and so constructed that a fire in any one of them cannot communicate to any ether part of the works. One of these stoves took fire on Monday night, and its own destruction alone resulted, the works themselves not having been touched. The damage has been but trifling, and our manufacture has not been delayed a single hour. We must request of you the insertion of this letter, that the anxiety of our numerous friends may be at once allayed. We are, Sir, yours, obediently, ORLANDO JONES AND CO.

MONEY-MARK.E.r.—The premium on gold at Paris is 16 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.55; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.471, it follows that gold is 0.29 percent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ham burgh the price of gold is 4351 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10Ad. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.10 f ; and the exchange at Hamburgit on London at short being 13.11+, it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh.
