A more extraordinary proceeding has never been rought before a criminal _tribunal thaw the case which has just terminated in the well-merited con viction of FREDERICK GEORGE MANNING and MARIA MANNING, for the wilful and deliberate murder of PATRICK O'CoNNoR. A husband acd wife were arraigned together to answer for a crime of the deepest dye—a crime which had been coolly planned, and every circumstance maturely considered that could prevent the discovery of the atrocious act and give full impunity to the blood-stained assassins. Their craft and cunning were, howerer, utterly useless ; their guilt was almost miraculously brought to light. Evidence was accumulated, that rendered it impossible that a single doubt could re main ia any unprejudiced mind. Even the actors in the fatal scene were compelled to turn each against the other, and to seek an ignominious safety for themselves, by accusing their partner as the sole de linquent. Yet even that defence would not avail. Although no human eye witnessed the perpetra tion of the fearful deed, every point of the case was as clearly revealed and brought into the full light of day, as if it had been transacted in the presence of the very jury assembled to try the case. It was clear that both the criminals in the dock were willing actors in the homicide ; that they had previously determined on the mode of operation, and the manner in which the breathless corpse should be concealed from observation. MAN NING had purchased the crowbar, or ripping chisel, with which the flags had been raised up for the secret grave, and with which the skull of the victim had been shattered lest the bullet might have failed in its fatal operation Mrs. MANNING paid the stipulated price, and was manifestly cognizant of the purposes for which it was r( quired. In like manner the husband purchased the lime intended to destroy the remains of the murdered nun, and to blot out the evidence of the crime, while the wife received it, and paid the bearer for his trouble in bringing it. She it was, also, who pur chased the shovel with which the grave was dug, and the earth replaced over the inanimate corpse—who penned the note of invitation, couched not merely in the most friendly but even affectionate terms, that lured the victim to his doom. She visited his lodgings for purposes of plunder while the body was yet warm, and completed the work of spoliation the following evening. She received the persons who were making inquiries for the missing man, and by the calmness and steadiness of her demeanour, and her hypocritical expressions of esteem and friend ship for the deceased, succeeded in averting suspicion fir a brief period that enabled her to add another to that which she had already committed, to desert the wretched partner of her guilt, carrying with her the entire property for which they had brought the guilt of human blood upon their souls; she added deceit and treachery towards her husband to that which she bad previously exhibited towards PATRICK O'CONNOR, Li fact every point in the case seems to indicate tht hers was the mind that planned the murder, while MANNING was merely the brutal in strument of execution, who obeyed the behests of his unrelenting wife. Could the great investigator of human feelings, the delineator of human nature—that mighty spirit that could enter the dark abode of the human heart and shape into a living embodiment its most foul and unnatural pas sions--have foreshadowed such a female fiend when depicting Lady MACBETH as urging on her half relenting and unwilling partner to complete the full measure of his guilt, and to steel his soul against the promptings of his better spirit 'ihe discovery of their atrocious crime appears to afford , another a n d mos t power f u l ill u stration of GOD 's revenge against murder." Had the criminals remeined boldly in their house—had they continued to meet all inquiries with the same fearless front at first exhibited, the murdered remains would most probably not have been seen until the action of the quick li m e would have prevented the possibility of identification„ Such was manifestly t h e i r original intention, which would have been acted on had not the chief criminal feared that her husband could net bate withstood the trying ordeal. Her o`.ject was to keep him out of the way, to prevent any interview between him and the interrogators. Ilia conscience bad been already awakened ; he could not bear to remain on the scene of his atrocity ; " for 201. he would not sleep in the house another night." His vacillating con duct, his continued intoxication, led her to sup pose that in a momentary fit of weakness he would betray the fatal secret. She accordingly determined to desert him, and cooly abandoned him to his fate, without leaving him a single shilling to pro mote his eicape. The wretched nun was astounded crime THE SUN, by this unexpected blow. Without means of liveli- I hood, with a price set upon his head, and the entire 1 community converted into an eager police to effect his capture, there could be no hope of unanimity ; all he could do was to continue his sottish course, to drain the brawl!, bottle to the dregs. He fled whither he could obtain the means of temporary oblivion at the cheapest rate, and by his flight converted the sus picions that had been previously entertained into absolute certainties. We need not dwell on the subsequent discovery of the body, or the tracing out and apprehension of the murderers; they are familiar to almost every indi vidual throughout the length and breadth of the land. G on's retributive justice will not be defeated. His all-seeing eye will penetrate the dark den of the secret murderer, and bring into the brightest and most glaring light acts that had apparently been I c cmmitted in the deepest gloom and obscurity. _..••.- LONDON. We have received the Paris journals of yeAerday. After the motion of N. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE for the amnesty of the insurgents of June had been re nted, the Assembly proceeded on Thursday to dis- TO'ITAOTTOW the new regulations at the Genera. Post-osce come into actual operation. So that the Sabbatarans must, perforce, swallow the pill, bitter only to their own palates of wormwood. After all their noisy r emonstrances, they must content them selves, like AUSTIN CAXTON, ith ejeculating a querulous Pape! or, like TOB w lAS SHANDY, With Whistling the " refrain " of Lillibullero ! We heartily congra t u l a te the authorities upon the resolution evinced under their late trying circumstances. And our especial thanks are due to the principal members ef . the Government, to the Noble Premier, and to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the deter mined manner in which they have supported the conduct of the Marquis of C LA NRICARDE and that distinguished public benefactor, Mr. R o w LAND HILL, an who has do ne more perhap s than any other aindividual in the United Kingdom to diffuse a great blessing throughou t the community, and practically to advance the interests of civilization. At the same time we cannot possibly refrain from expressing the profound indignation with which we have listened to the cant of those political Tartuffes who appear to arrogate to themselves a sanctity of a supreme and e xclusive character. Nothing to us is so utterly contemptible, abominable, and unendurable as that " pride which apes humility," that miserable affectation of morality which is as pitiable l as it is spurious. Of all the different phases assuened by that Protean bugbear of the community Vice, the phase o f hypocrisy is indisputably the most distressing to witness, and the last to which any rational man would become subservient. We, by no means, Wish to intimate that all the parties who have recently been vociferous in opposing the new changes at St. Martin'- le-Grand are actuated only by base motives, or that they possess none but shallow pretensions to our respect. On the contrary, we are free to acknowledge that several of the most earnest antagonists of the measure are persons acting truthfully and conscientiously. With the very highest regard, nevertheless, for the purity of their intentions!, we are satisfied that even in their instance religion has been allowed to degenerate into fanaticism. We would re mind them that there is nothing more monstrous than an assumption of what we may term a monopoly of excellence. We would hint to them, that among their antagonists there ma y be men quite as solicitous to witness the rational observance of what they absurdly designate the Sabbath men quite as devoted in their reverence for ab stract merit—men as obedient to the commandments of GOD, to the dictates of conscience, and to the ordonnations of Christianity, as themselves. To maintain that on the side of the Post-office authorities are leagued together the powers of darkness, and on the side of their sworn enemies, the so called' Sabbatarians, all the light and the might of Godli ness, is as absurd, as indecent, we had almost said as impious as any assertion ever uttered by the lips of the hypocritical or the contumelious. Pamphlets and prize essays of divers descriptions have been transmitted to us since the appear ance of our more recent arguments upon this sexata questio, doubtless in the laudable hope of effect ing an editorial conversion, such as should act as a guiding light to other journalists. While expressing our cordial acknowledgments to those who so far evince their solicitude in our spiritual welfare, we would, nevertheless, very respectfully assure them that we need none of the ingenuities of logic or of the adjurations of rhetoric, to impress our minds with an admiration for that noble and beneficent institution — not of the Sabbath but of the Sunday, not of the seventh but of the first day of the week, the day of rest, of solace, and of adoration. It is precisely because we do most earnestly venerate this divinely social and religious institution, that we recoil from anything which would tend to render it irksome instead of consoling, repulsive instead of worthy of all love, distasteful instead of agreeable, and austerely sanctimonious instead of fascinating from the unos tentatious sanctity of its solemnization. It is exactly because we feel that the Sunday, or as it was formerly, the Sabbath, has been ordained as a day of repose for the Creature, to enable him periodically to adore the ALMIGIITY CREATOR with a self abstraction that would be nearly impossible if attempted in the midst of the ordinary avocations of life—it is precisely because we look upon tlite Sunday as the day of the poor, as the the Holiday of the poor, as the Holy-day of the poor, ' that we are anxious to see the Sunday rendered a day of solemn and pleasant recurrence, not one of spurious sanctity or of merely puritanical ceremonials. Is there any inconsistency in our avowal that we would witness the diminution of all unnecessary labour on Sunday, and our ardent support of the new Post-office regulations? We protest there is not; and we base our protestation upon the fact, that those new regulations, while adding twentyvive clerks to those at present employed in the metropolis, will release from Sunday occupation no less than two thousand clerks hitherto engaged in the provincial offices! So much for our consistency, and for the inconsistency of our antagonists, the Sabbatarians ! Thanks to the determination evinced by the Post office authorities, and to the resolute demeanour of the Government, these new regulations will come into operation no later than to-morrow. Thanks, more over, to the common sense of the English people, a rational reactionary movement is now taking place throughout the country, to counteract the idle fanfaronades of those noisy fanatics who have recently been stunning the ear of the public with their verbose and bellicose orthodoxy. Meetings very numerously attended are protesting against these very modest pre tenders to a monopoly of morality. Happily the days of their domination have passed away, and we have now no more chance of beholding naughty little boys pilloried at Charing-cross for playing marbles on the Sunday, than we have of witnessing noyades ' i on the Thames, or auto-da-fes in Smithfield. at El ' 111 4 IF Bessarabia.

In consequence of a dementi given by M. NAPO LEON BONAPARTE in the course of the discussion on the amnesty to an assertion made by M. DAHIREL to the effect that he (M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE) had voted for the decree banishing the insurgents, it was supposed that a duel would have taken place. The affair has, however, been arranged by the retracta tion of M. DAHIREL. The Moniteur announces that M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE having, in the presence of MM. DE PLANCY, EMANUEL ARAGO, DE ST. GEORGES, and General LE no, the four seconds chosen on both sides, formally declared that he did not vote for the decree banishing the insurgents, as asserted by M. DAHIREL, the latter acknowledged that in the uncertainty of a vote par assis et leve he might have considered as intended for a vote a move ment which had not that meaning. This declaration being" considered satisfactory by the seconds, the affair is considered at an end. The Assemblee Nationale, the organ of the parti pretre, is pursuing the murderous tactics by which that party displaced itself during the reign of the Bounnom. It has the following paragraph addressed to M. NW APOLEON yi3i:ssettreAdßaTnEinTerraption of M. Hick erun. It' M. Bonaparte could have contradicted the facts implied in this interruption, he ought to have done so at the tribune, and we would 11-...ve cheerfully recorded his rectification. M. Bonaparte prefers studin.; us a dementi by a hnissier, with a menace of prosecution in case of refusal. We tell the Montagnard Prince that we do not accept a dementi from any person, or in any shape or form, and we are ready to incur the conse quences of this r e cn j f ko u tui s hn a reg l n .' a ' d ltashyetsoi their political the insert e B rt paragraphs ou on opponents, o s w s u s c s ha f n e a d r s the e e e T p h zer above,et i u - p s t r o e a m t n t r t e a i then to put forward an accomplished swordsman as the author. Every parti-pretre journal in those days kept its bravo. The same journal propounds a plan for destroying Protestantism in England and Ireland. This, the organ of M. DE FALLOUX and the priests, says :- " The POPE bas only to send a bull and a legate a lalere into Ireland to prepare a popular, terrible insurrection against English despotism." And again it says :-" The English agents labour in vain at Rome, and in the Pontifical states, to pro duce a re-action : they will deceive nobody. 'The Sacred College will answer them by a little bull, addressed to the bishops of Ireland, bidding them not to allow the philanthropic English to leave two millions of men to die of starvation." The streets of London have of late swarmed with ill-looking foreigners dressed in soutanes, and osten tatiously parading themselves upon the public no tice as priests. It would be as well that the English Government should ascertain 'whether these gentry are the forerunners of the " little ball' and if it should prove so we hope the Government will not hesitate to put the Alien Act in force, and deport these friends of the apolo gists of the massacre of St. Barthulemew. In the meantime the parti pretre are exploiting the crass ignorance of the peasantry of the priest-ridden provinces of France in the most disgusting and bare faced manner. We learn from the Glancur of the department of the lure and Loire, that for the last few days hawkers have been carrying all over the Communes of Nogent le Roran " a prayer to our Lord fur the pre servation of cattle." This prayer is said to have been blessed by the Archbishop of PARIS on the day of the Assumption of the present year, for distribution throughout France. It is to be sold for two sous, and it is announced to the faithful, whether sailors or fishermen, and to all who shall devoutly carry a copy of the words about then), that they shall infallibly be preserved from storm and wreck, on any sea, or in any vessel. 'The same hawkers likewise have for sale another paper entitled Avertissement salutaire. This is said to have been found on the day of the Assumption by a boy of twelve years old, who was serving mass in the church of Notre Dame at Arras. This avertissementpur ports to be a letter from the ALMIGHTY written in letters of blood. The blasphemous document calls on the faithful to be converted, and denounces the Divine vengeance if they do not turn from their wickedness. All persons, however, who carry about with them a copy of this avertissement, which may be purchased for two sous, shall have pardon of their sins-aye, even though such sins were as innumerable as the stars of the firmament ("Ceux qui la porteront auraient commis autant de peches qu'il-y a detoiles dans le firmament qu'ils leur seront pardonnes"); and shall, moreover, be preserved themselves, and their house hold, their man servant and maid servant, their horse and their ass, from all sickness, and all maladies, at the small cost of two sous. AL DE FALLOUX has definitively retired from the Cabinet, and a Council was held yesterday to consider who should be appointed as his successor. It is said that M. LACROSSE and General RuLutsgE will also retire, as Louis NAPOLEON has at length bad his eyes opened to the intrigues of the parti-pretre, every member of which he is now desirous of ejecting from his Cabinet. General sillauTrour, will discharge at Rome the functions now discharged by General RosToLats and M. DE CORCELLES. M. LUPIN, the President of the Assembly, has been confined to his apartment for the last five days with bronchitis, attended with a severe cough. M. MANIN, the late Dictator of Venice, waited on M. VICTOR fluco on Thursday to thank him for the support he has afforded to the cause of Italian liberty. A letter from Avignon states that GARIIIALDI is at present in that town, together with several Members of the Roman Constituent Assembly. PARIS BOURSE.--FRIDAY, OCT. 25.

AImIED PACHA, late Minister of War, goes to Constantinople in a few days in the steam-frigate Sharkiah, on some special mission—the object of which has not as yet been permitted to transpire. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 21st have arrived. The NARTAEZ Ministry were reinstated on the 20th, in consequence of the intervention of Queen CHRISTINA. NARVAEZ at first refused to return to office, but at length gave way to the representations of CHRISTINA. His first act was to arrest General BALBOA,_ Father FULGEN CIO (the KING'S Confessor) , M. DE GUIROGA, M. DE BUENA, M. RODON, and other influential members of the Camarilla of Don FRANCISCO D'Asus. The miserable priest•ridden poltroon Don FRAN. , cisco the QUEEN'S husband, made a clean breast of it to ISTARVAEZ when he saw him again in power, and denounced all his coconspirators. The Bourse was closed on the 21st. PORTUGAL. Intelligence has been received from Lisbon of the 20th October. It was thought that the demand of the United States for compensation for the destruction of the Globe privateer, in 1812, would be withdrawn. The American Minister has acknowledged the force of the plea urged by Portugal, that the attacking force was too great to allow the Governor of Fayal to afford her protection. It is said that the American Minister m London has ascertained that Lord PALMERSTON will not allow Portugal to be annoyed on this matter. The discussion of the Macao afra;r is adjourned luntil communic a ti ons s h a ll h ave b e en received from Captain KEPPEL.

The directors received the certificate of the railway commissioners a few days will be opened to Portlethen in about three " ; it to within four miles of Aberdeen, et to which more, bringing place it will be open in December, thus affordin uninterrupted line of communication from London g an to Aberdeen—a distance of 500 miles. ITALY. The banker TOIII.ONIA has refused to serve in the Finance Commission of Rome. The Risorgimento of Turin of the 22d inst. states that Chevalier MATHIEU , having arrived at Turin, had declined to accept the portfolio of Public Works, which had been offered to him. Several generals had left Turin for Alessandris.to form a council of war to try General FANTI and Colonel SAISFEONT. The cholera has broken out at Bologna. The Osservatore Romano of the 15th states that early in the morning of the preceding .day a large notice was found posted on the walls of the Palazzo Chigi, with the motto " God and the People," under it the words, " News of France ! " with a cum, a sword, and a Napoleon's hat, and the announcement that a revolution had broken out at Paris, and that the Mountain had triumphed. A crowd having assembled before the placard, a French officer of the 13th of the Line stepped up, and, on learning the cause, told the crowd there was not a shadow of truth in the announcement; he then tore down the bill and the crowd dispersed. We have received the following from a correspondent at Rome, dated the 16th :—" Since the departure of the Deputies of the Roman National Assembly, the police is less rigorous towards the compromised than it was before, and many have been allowed to return to Rome, amongst them Dr. Patnaleoni, the intimate friend of Count Mamiani. Those persons who have thus returned are certainly indebted to the influence, if not the actual protection, of General Rostolan and M. de Corcelles ! Arrangements are making for the return of Pius IX. at the Vatican Palace, and it is generally believed that his Holiness will return before the end of October. The French officers and troops act in a most exemplary manner, but have no intimacy with the Romans." The Opinione of Turin of the 21st complains of the nomination of M. Mathieu as Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works, on the ground of his belonging to the Extreme Right. In its sitting of the 20th the Senate of Turin re jected, by forty•eight votes to ten, the Bill voted by the Chamber of Deputies on the 22d ult., by which all Italian refugees residing in the Piedmontese ter ritory were entitled to civil and pelitical rights in the country. INDISPOSITION OF THE Q UEEN.— POSTPONEMENT OF THE ROYAL VISIT TO THE CITY. We regret to find that her ➢Majesty has been slightly indisposed for the last two or three days at Windsor Castle, and that on Thursday symptoms ap peared which leave scarcely any doubt that her Ma jesty's indisposition has resolved itself into an attack of chicken pox. Under these untoward circumstances it is not at all likely that her Majesty will be able to carry out her Royal intention of paying a state visit to the City on Tuesday next, and consequently the interesting ceremony of opening the Coal Exchange will be postponed for a fortnight at least. We are quite sure that sentiments of loyal sympathy for our beloved Queen will predominate over any feelings of disappointment. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) COVICNT-GARDEP 7 .

RAILWAY RETURNS RAILWAY TRAFFIC,—The following arc the Total Receipts of Rail ways for the past week—that is to say, up to the date to which the respective returns are made, together with the receipts of the same week in the previous year : Week ending Last week. •••••• GERMANY AND FITE NORTHERN STATES. CENTRAL GERMANY. The Archduke JouN, having ratified the treaty of the 30th of September, resigned the dignity of RE GENT, and committed to the hands of the Emperor of AUSTRIA and the King of PRUSSIA the powers and the duties which the Germanic Diet confided to him in its sitting of July 12, 1849. In the sitting of the Council of Administration, held on the 12th, the Plenipotentiary of Lubeck declared the accession of the free city of Lubeck to the treaty concluded on the 29th of May between Prussia, Saxony, and Hanover. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. COPENHAGEN, OCT. 21.--The former Austrian Ambassador at this Court, Baron VON LANGENAU, has arrived here; he is said to be the bearer to the KING of the order of St. Stephen. . . _ The Berlin journals, in announcing that the Arch duke resigns his post of Reichsverweser, observes this is a fact of much importance for the Danish Schleswig-Holstein affairs, for when the Duke re signs the office of Reichsverweser, in which besides he is no longer recognised by Prussia, it follows as a matter of course thereby the authority which has been assumed by the Stadtholdership or Provincial Go vernment, falls to the ground. HAM/111E0U, OCT. 22.—General Vox Hamm had taken the 'command of the Prussian troops in the duchy of Schleswig. The command of the Prussian troops in this city will be given to General Vox DORING, who has lately arrived here. RUSSIA AND TURKEY . It is said that a telegraphic dispatch has been re ceived at Berlin from St. Petersburgh, stating that the Emperor of RUSSIA had refused to receive Pump EFFENDI, the Turkish Ambassador. The refusal was, it is said, communicated to FUAD EFFENDI on the 21st. TURKEY. On the sth Count STURMER received a dispatch from Vienna, stating that the Austrian Government fully approved of the steps he had taken relative to the Hungarian refugees, and desired him to remain at Constantinople till the Courts at Vienna and St. Petersburgh had agreed upon further measures in the matter. Last week a secretary of Kossurn was re cognised, in Smyrna, among the congregation in the Austrian church of St. Maria, and was immediately arrested by the Austrian consular authorities. WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA. A letter from Bucharest of the 6th states that General LUDERS set out for Odessa on the 2d, and the Russian troops of the principalities are under the command of Prince BAGRATION. The Russians pos sess an uninterrupted line of communication as fg as SATURDAY EVF,NING OCTOBER 2`9' 1249. 249. 3iONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS'. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 7,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were taken on specula tion.— In Railway Shares a moderate business was done at higher price s. The weekly balance-sheet of the Bank of England to Saturday last conteias further interesting changes. The circulation was increased again, both a; regards notes and bullion, by the continuance of dividend and official payments; and from the same cause the public deposits were lessened. In the Other Secutities there was a great reduction, which would ostensibly show a diminution of activity in the mercantile world, or a plethora of money, but we believe neither conclusion would be accurate, and that the cause of the alteration is simply the repayment of loans made while the transfer books were closed. A comparison with the previous week gives the following results:— Notes lisue d Increase ... 28,252,330 ... 102,725 ... 3,130,540 Rest Increase ...

The Foreign Exchanges were negotiated yesterday afternoon, for 90 days' bills, at 25.75 to 80 on Antwerp; being firm at 13.131 to 14 on Hamburgh, being a shade higher; at 1221 on Frankfort, also dearer; at 25.671 to 721 on Paris, which are barely previous rates, at 10.55 to 58, also a slight decline, and at 12.211 to 31, being the same as last post day. The exports of the precious metals from London this week have been 127,000 ounces of silver, and 160 ounces and 2,8001. in gold. The accounts received this morning from the manu facturing districts are satisfactory, but there has been scarcely so much activity as there was last week. The Funds are buoyant again to-day. Consols 92i to and New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. 924 to 1. Bank Stock has been firm at 198. Exchequer bills have realised 41s. to 445. premium. The Foreign Securities have been very quiet. Spanish Five per Cents. 161 -11, and Portuguese Four per Cents. nominally 321 to 33i. Mexican heavy at 261 to 1. Brazilian 831. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 531. Railway Shares look well again, and a good business is doing. Caledonian, Great Western, Midland, South Western, and Brighton, are higher. The general railway traffic of England exhibits for the past week an improvement compared with the corre sponding date of 1848, but there is the increased mileage to ba brought into account. This mileage is not yet sufficiently worked to be reasonably expected to yield a return at all adequate to the trunk roads. Of 48 lines, including all the great undertakings, we find that 26 had, as per last weekly return, an augmented traffic, the Irish being deficient with one exception, viz., the Belfast and Ballymena. There are several lines which cannot be compared, because of having been opened only since last year. The French railways have all to a great ex tent regained their lost traffic. r'I. , ING !..'l's OF -RITISII .UND -ILICES. ?auk Stock ... 3;per Cent. Reduced Arms ..... per Cent.

They commenced at the same time, but on account of the gentleman being seized with a violent fit of laughter, which greatly impeded his progress, the cat was enabled to gain a great lead; however, the gentleman having recovered himself, he soon caught her up, and won cleverly by two table spoonfuls, much to the surprise of all present. What made it more laughable was, the circumstance of several bets being made. The odds were three to two on the cat at starting, which was Icon changed to evens.— crlford Journal. 13,124 8,109 CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (11Jore Mr. Justice MAULE.) HOM(LJPATHY.— Chas. Thos. Pearce, a respectable gentlemanly-locking person, surrendered to take his trial on an indictment charging him with the man- slaughter of his brother. Mr. Horry appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Parry for the defence. The bill against the defen 'ant was ignored by the grand jury. The defendant was therefore arraigned on the verdict of the coroner's jury, which was to the effect that he had caused his brother to die of starvation, in accordance with the doctrine of homoeopathy, which the defendant had applied to the case of bia I brother. Mr. HoERY briefly stated the case against the defendant as it was subsequently explained by the evidence. The defendanf; brother was attacked with cholera on Saturday, the Bth of September, and that he died on the 18tb, in conse- quence, it was alleged, of the improper treat ment to which he was subjected at the hands of the defendant. It would become their province to judge whether the defendant was or was not properly qualified to act as a medical man, and also to consider whether be treated his brother ac- cording to the best of his judgment. It would not be enough for them to be satisfied that he exercised his judgment to the best of his ability, but they must consider whether he was properly qualified to take upon himself the duties and responsibilities of a medical man. Having narrated the main facts of the case, he called Mrs. Pearce, the widow of the deceased, who de posed that her husband was taken ill on Saturday the Bth of September, and that Mr. Harris, a medical practitioner, was called in and attended bim several times in the course of the day, and prescribed medicines which were sent and taken by the deceased. She attended to all the directions given by this gentleman. The defendant was sent for on the Sunday morning at the request of his brother. He came immediately, and saw the deceased two or three times in the course of the day. He brought him some homoeopathic medicines, and said that at that time he was to have nothing else but the medi cines and some iced water. Ile paid attention to him in this way until the following Wednesday. No solid food at all was ordered, but on the Wednesday he ordered a little weak gruel to be given to him, and afterwards some beef tea. Mr. Justice AlAuLE—Is it intended to infer that a sick man will die from being kept without food for three days ? If so (as we understood) I should not be here this day. Mrs. Pearce re-examined—Mr. Cobray, who had been sent for the defendant, approved of his regimen. Mr. Cobray attended the deceased on Thursday and Saturday. The defendant sent medicines to the de ceased after the Wednesday, but did not see deceased after that day ; I heard he was himself too ill to come • afterwards Mr. Davis was sent for and pre scribed. Cross-examined by Sergeant Wu xiNs—Had known the defendant ten years. Had heard that he bad pur sued the study of medicine for five years, and that he had been a lecturer on the physical sciences at the University College. and had attended lectures, by Pro fessor Ellis and others, on anatomy and kindred sub jects, at the Royal Institution. The defendant came at the requgst of his brother, but she could not say whether he was sent for as a medical man or not. Mr. Harris came once or twice after the defendant had been. She gave the deceased some arrowroot and a little weak gruel on the night before he died, and a little bread, which he vomited after it had been in his stomach three or four minutes. She did so by direction of Mr. Davies. Afterwards he had some weak brandy and water and chalk mixture, also by Mr. Davies' direction. During the whole of the period to which she had referred the cholera was upon him. At this part of the inquiry, Mr. Sergeant WiLktris suggested that there was no case to go to the jury. It appeared the deceased laboured under the influence of cholera, and there was not the slightest doubt that he died of the disease. Mr. Justice MAULE said he certainly could not see how a verdict of manslaughter could be returned upon such evidence; but perhaps it would be as well to call a medical witness. Mr. Harris was then called—He deposed that he was called in on Sunday the 9th of September. He found the deceased suffering from an attack of ma lignant Asiatic cholera. Saw him first about eleven o'clock in the morning. Saw him next in the even ing, vc bin be was much in the same way Mr. Justice MAULS—In what state of cholera did you find him ? Witness—ln a state of colapse. Mr. Justice MAULE—That is almost in a dying state ? Witness—He was in a very critical state all the day on Sunday. Mr. HORRY—How was he on the Sunday evening? Witness—He was somewhat relieved, from the sufferings he was undergoing in the morning. Ile was not in so much pain. Mr. Justice MAULE—Was he relieved from pain, to some extent in consequence of the unfavourable turn the case had taken ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Justice MAULE—Did you believe him to be dying ? Witness—l believed he was dying, but I did not consider his case was hopeless. By Mr. Timmy—Was prepared to go on with the case. Saw the defendant about half-an-hour after he was called in to attend the deceased. Finding he had a brother in the profession, I requested to see him, in order that we might consult together with respect to his case. When he saw him he told him he considered his brother in very great danger, and asked him if he had anY observations or sugggestions to make with re' spect to his brother's welfare. He then spoke of the benefits to be derived from the homceopathie system, and suggested that as everything that could be done in accordance with the old system had been tried, that he should like to have the homoeopathic system applied to his brother's case, believing that it would save him. Did not object, more particularly because he understood the defendant to be in the profession , and because he was the deceased's brother. I con' sented to look in as a friend after this, but could not act with the prisoner, not understanding the homceo' pathic system. Mr. Justice MAULE—There was nothing in hit co nversation to induce you to believe that he was ye' in the profession? Witness—No; indeed, on the contrary, he told me he had studied at the University College for four years. Mr. Justice MAULE—You had no doubt from pia conversation that he was a medical man. Of cours e you can tell when you are talking to a man w hether he is in the profession or not ? Witness—Of course. Mr. Justice MAULE—You would soon find a roe, out who professed to he a medical man, and who b oo no right to such a title ? Witness—Oh, certainly. Mr. Justice MAULE—How did you find the de; ceased after the defendant had prescribed for hit° Witness—He was considerably relieved ; reactio° bad taken place. Mr. Justice MAULE—When did you see the de' ceased again ? Witness—On the following day. Mr. Justice MAULE—How was he then ? Witnes l —He was not so well. I did not see him afterward'" By Sergeant WILKINs—You say you EBV/ the deceased the day before his death ? Now what, 0 your opinion, did he die of ? Witness—From the disease—from cholera. Judin from the condition he was in on the Sunday when I first called to se _ him, the disease was sufficiently strong upon him to cause his death. Mr. Justice MatLE—You saw the deceased 00 the Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. In what state was he? Witness—On Sunday his case was not q uite desperate. I thought, however, he would die. Mr. Justice MAULS—In what state was he on th e Monday ? Witness—He had rallied. On Tuesday he was rather worse, but not so ill as he was on the , Sunday. Mr. Justice MAULE—Then we may naturally oe e ; elude from your evidence that the mode of treatme°l, adopted by the defendant did the deceased good Witness—lt appeared so. • a Mr. Justice MAuLE—When a person is a elze o with the cholera are his digestive organs fit to reel/ solid food. Witness—To receive light food. rson Mr. Justice MAULE—I am asking you if a Pe in a state of collapse could eat solid food? Witne ss No; he could not. Mr. Justice Meuxis—lle could not eat a beefsteak Witness—No he could no. The jury immediately t acquitted the defend: l3 o e without hearing any further evidence, and 1 3 e discharged. to Mr. Justice MAULS observed, this man seem s to have doctored his brother as well as he could, 611 have done him good.
