A PI AND Zji n t LtC OP n i.O n• " Who runs may read." :1"017.EIGIV. In the French Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, M. Dupin called the attention of the House to the necessity of enacting severe penalties against railway accidents, it being absurd and ridiculous to punish with a mere fine only errors that may arise from neglect, ignorance, or presumption, when those errors lead to such disastrous effects as those that have filled Paris with grief and horror. M. Thiers delivered a long speech on the nailway Bill. He ridiculed the pretensions of Germany to having any great lin: s of railroad laid down but in maps, and proposed for France, in stead of the plan laid down in the law poject, one single icreat line from north to south, from Lille to Paris, and from thence to Marseilles through Lyons. He should protest against the faults abcnt to be committed, first to engage the resources of the country for a length of time, and next to scatter their strength, in place of concentrating it on a single point. The P; esse mentions a report that. amongst the articles seized a few days ago in the Passage Violet, were thirty-four bombs of strong sheet iron, filled with bullets and fulminating powder, and of which even the accidental explosion might have caused grave accidents in the places where they were deposited. The. Temps rut the following questions to M. Guizot : " Is it true that a short time after the treaty of 15th July M. Guizot, in the hopes of obtaining some concess.ons from Eng land, consented to the Right of Search Treaty, such as it has been signed on the 20th December, 1641 ? Is it true that M. Guizot, the Ambassador in London, proposed at that time to Thiers, who was President of the Council, the accersion of France to the latter treaty. on condition of certain modifications to the one of ltith July? Is it not true that M. Thiers peremp: torily refused? " A private letter from Madrid of the sth states that Govern ment has issued most preremptory orders to the civil and mili tary authorities of Barcelona to maintain the public peace. The late seditious events in that city called forth in the Senate for some explanations from Ministers, who answered that mea tures of caution and repression had been adoptel to preserve the tranquillity of the town. Some questions were put to the Spanish Ministry, and in the Senate on the 4th, as to the late riots at Barcelona. The Minister of the Interior replied, that there was nothing alarm io in the state of that town, and that the ne:essary orders had been issued to prevent a renewal of the disturbances. The Minister of War presented in Congress a Bill to fix the number of the Spanish army for the year 1842, at 90,000 men. _ _ trlENmr. The Lords engaged last night in rather an amusing dis cussion about hops, wends, mines, and morality. The larl of Winchilsea having presented a petition from Kent against the • reduction of the uuty on hops, Earl Fitzwilliam took the oppor tunity of reminding their Lordships in relation to a previous discussion about mines, that the morality of hop gardens was not excessive, which of course the Kentish Earl vindicated. The Earl of Winchilsea also said that the cultivation of hops was of great importance, as giving value to wood lands, on which hop poles are grown. The retort made by Earl Fitz william was, that the hop duty, then, was required to pay for growing wood, not that hops might be cultivated. The Noble Earl added, which is, we believe, very true, that the owners of woad lands would be more injured by the timber duties than by the reduction of the hop duties. The Marquis of Lanttlowne, in moving for some returns, ex pressed a strong and decided opinion against the proposition to tax the foreigne':, wko have invested their property in the Engli,h Funtit, The Noble Lord described it as a flagrant breach of f"...ith, or repudiatory on a small scale. The .F.arl of Ripon, being in the Ministry, pronounced a different opinion. Lords Monteagle, Brougham, and Mel bourn;, took similar views to the Marquis of Lansdowne; so tha, it was established, in the minds of their Lordships, that .Sir R. Peel's proposition is a breach kf faith. The returns were ordered. Lord Brougham's Bill to bestow indemnity on those who might criminate themselves by evidence relative to bribery at elections, went through a Committee. Their Lordships sat till seven o'clock. The Commons did not meet in sufficieat numbers to form a House, and was accordingly adjourned. rd 0 11MY—T.ic..ELILE C 0 MMERC E. The Irish Society of London held their twentieth anniver sary yesterday in the Hanover-square Rooms. Two hundred and sixty-four Irish Bibles, 1,919 Testaments, 3,812 portions of tit , Bible, 83 Common Prayer-books, six dictionaries, 76 grammar., and 10,959 primers, had been distributed by the Society during the last year. There were established 614 schools, attended by 14,160 pupils; of whom 10,708 were adults, 290 were above 50 years of age, and 2,394 were females. The Home proceeding s were equally- gratifying. New associ ations had sprung up and the funds increased. The receipts, including 211.1. from H. L. 8., and 2001. from America, were 4,1351. 18s. 11d., and the disbursement ;. including, 3,1001., remitted to Ireland, amounted to 4,138/.4' NAVAL AND itiILICTJULY. From the official return of the ships of war and steamers now building and fit for service, it appe,.vithat the latter, riz., steamers for service, number 84 ; steamers building, 20 ; ships of war building, 56 ; total ships of war, in ordinary and commission, including steamers, carrying Xrom 1 to 120 guns each, 605. The British fleet, the largest in the world, employs in time of peace 33,000 able-bodied seamen, 2,000 lads, and 13,000 Royal marines, forming in all an effective naval force of 46,000 men, and 2,000 lads. LAW AND P Q X, X '; Yesterday at the Thames Police-office, Thomas Paul, alias Scottie, Curzon. and Tidy, excavators, and another man named Jones, who was arrested at Swansea, charged with the murder of Duncan Crawford, in the Isle of Dogs, in 1837, un derwent another investigation. Mr. Ballantine said there was a case of strong suspicion against the prisoners, and remanded them for a short time. TRE.ELTRICILL. The benefit of Mr. Charles Kean is to take place at the Hay market, on Alonday, the 23d inst., on which occasion, a Shak sperian revival is promised The sudden death of Mr. Oxberry's wife, in child-birth, will prevent his appearance at the English Opera, of which he is lessee, for some time. The celebrated opera of the Vestal, one of the finest which has been produced in this country of late years, and which ob tained for its author, Gasparo Spontini, the prize from the Acaclanie Imperiale in 1807, was performed at Covent. garden last night for the first time in this country. It was well got up, and the music is of the first order. - COI7 itT-FASHXONAMILE. Yesterday the Hon. and Rev.

The Queen completes her twenty-third year on, Tuesday, the 24th instant, but it will be celebrated at Court on the 19th instant. Jersey, which may be reached from London in IS hours by the steamers, contains at present 20,000 English residents, and it is proposed this summer to run a steamer direct from Brighton thither, w►thout touching at Guernsey. LINES ON THE MASKED BALL AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE. BY T. WAKLBY, ESQ. N.B. We have received by express the following pointed and polished lines, which ara from the imaginative pen of the Middlesex Coroner, who, Wehave reason to believe, is qualifying for the post of Poet Laureate. All ta,,te is matter of opinion, Some love a cowcumbsr, and some a inion ; Scene, such as Wordsworth, a "Louisa" love, And write droll songs to her in Rhydal's grove ; But I love dearer far to sing of all The splendors of her MajefAy's State Ball.. Such a grand show ! It quite eclipsed, I remember, The Lord Mayor's show on the 9th of last November ! Dukes—Marquises—Earls—Barons—by the score, All over jewel , , danced upon the floor ; The Duke of Sutherland had'on a dress, That cost one hundred thousand pounds, I guess. And Normanby's armour couldn't have cost much less ! Sir .Robert Peel, too, looked uncommon nice, And danced in velvet breeches once or twice, Cutting in Majesty's sight full many a caper, Such as it's impossible to describe on paper. But looking now and then as grave and staid, As tho' a half-year's income-tax he'd paid. As for Lord Cardigan, Quixotic Flat ! He looked as vicious as a drummer's cat, And quite electrified Royalty, who, 'Tis plain, mistook him for a kangaroo ; With regard to the rest, they frisked and waltzed as gay, As sparkling sunbeams on a summer‘lay, And quitted the Palace, full of fun and glee, Just as the Horse-Guards' clock struck hplf-past three ! COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) WALTON V., BATE3IAN AND OTHERS. This case. which has now occupied the Court four days, was still undetermined when we went to press, His Lordship was left summing up the evidence. MARLBOROUGH STREET. (THIS DAY.) Francis Copping, an important-looking person, very fashi onably dressed, and who, is appears, is possessed of ati indepen dent property, and resides at Notting-hill, was charged with being (hunk and disorderly, and assaulting the police. Police constable No. 179 of the C division, stated that, about two o'clock this morning, the defendant was wrangling with a man of bad character in Oxford•street, and wanted to fight him. Witness interfered to prevent a breach of the peace, and also the defendant, from being robbed, which he no doubt would have been, when he struck him (complainant) a violent blow on the mouth, and cut his lip severely. Complainant then took him into custedy, and coo veyed him to the station-house. He was excessively intoxi cated as the time. The defendant said he was very sorry for what bad happened, but he certainly did not sttike the constable intentionally—he had been dining out and was certainly tl,e worse for the wine he had drank. He was fined 205., which was immediately paid. HOPE ASSURANCE OFFICE. (THIS DAY.) The Annual General Court of Directors of this Association was h-id this day, at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill. Ohe of our reporters attended, but he was informed that strangers could not be admitted, consequently we are unable to give any account of the proceedings. THE MURDERED JANE Jonns.—The unfortunate victim of Good's horrible depravity was a native of Myfod, Montgomeryshire. Her father had nut, for a period of six years, received a communication from her, or the slightest in timation of where she was. He is a poor, but honest and in dustrious man, much respected in his 'situation in I.fe. Salopian Journal. The Earl of Auckland,,accompanied by his sisters, the Hon. Mis-es Eden, and his nephew and Aid-de-camp, the Hon. Capt. W. Godolphin Osborne, is ex;:ected to arrive in town the first week in the ensuing month from the late seat of his Government at Calcutta. His Lordship went out in the spring of 1835. THE ROEITAMPTON MURDER. I TRIAL OF GOOD AT TIIE.OLD BAILEY-(THIS DAY.) The morbid feeling of sympathy whieh the ladies and gentle men 'of " England en t erta i n towar d s t h e perpetrators of horrid -crimes, and which increases in proportion to the magnitude of the offence, was mantsfested this day in a moat especial and striking manner, by the appearance which the Court, the hall, and the precincts of the Old Bailey presented. Admission to the bode ef the Court was only to be obtained by tickets from trit Sheriffs, and to the gallery by the payment of half a guinea, yet was the Court crowded to excess, every hole, every corner, was occupied, from the Usher's three-cornered seats to the places on the bench, usually occupied by the Judges. At eight o'cloAc the doors were thrown open, atid almost imme diately afterwards the Court was filled with visitors, all of Whont appeared to be of the middle or upper classes of life. There were a great many ladies in the Court—young ladies, cre Awes of such delicate mould, that we are sure the sight of a spider wont.' frighten them into fits, and a frog would be positive death ; yet would they find pleasure in listening to the details of a most barbarous murder, and in looking at a man who his been already con victed in the pubtic mind as being guilty of crime the most revolting to human nature, and the mere recital of which is though to chill the warm blood finis ing in our veins. We never saw a Court so full of barristers, or at any rate of per sons bearing the appearance of barristers—who they were it is hard to tell—but we are given to understand that wigs and gowns were in great requisition at Obbard's, Blake's, and the various other emporia of fancy dresses. So much for the in terior of the Courts the exterior presented a scene of greet animation ; the street in which the Old Bailey is situate was a perfect sea of human beings. Aforeigns'r not conscious of the occasion which called them together, would imagine that the people were celebrating some Saint's day, or grand gala. At ten o'clock, Lord Denman, with Mr. Baron Alderson and Mr. Justice Coltman, took their seats on the bench, and by the side of their Lordships We observed his Royal Highness the Mike of SUsSex, the Chevalier Bunsen, Aldermen Sir M. Wood, T. Wood, Gibbs, Lucas, Copeland, J. Dennistoun, Esq , M. P., the Recorder, &e. THE HIGHBURY MURDER. Thomas Cooper was first placed at the bar, charged with the wilful murder of Timothy Daley. Cover appeared very faint, and was accommoda - ed with a seat. Mr. !-loaf, on behalf of the prisoner, made aliplication that the trial should be delayed until next ses ion, on the ground that there would not be sufficient time during the pre sent session to collect the materials for the prisoner's defence. Ira little time were granted the friends of the prisoner hoped that they should be able to lay such a series of facts before the Court as would altogether alter the present aspect of the pri soner's offence. Mr. BODKIN, on .he part of the prosecution, offered no op position to the application, and the trial was accordingly post poned till next session. THE ROEHANIPTON MURDER. Daniel Good and Molly Good were then plaCed nt the bar. Daniel was dressed in the prison dress, and Molly was very neatly attired, with a dean white cap, shawl, &c. Both pri soners leaked fresh and well, and walked to the dock with a firm precise step. Daniel looked a little thinner, but on the whole we think appeared to be in a better and more healthy cm dition than when he was brought up at Bow-street. The Attorney- General, Mr. Adolphus, Mr. Waddington, anti Mr. R. Gurney conducted the prosecution on the part of the Crown, and Mr. Doane appeared In: the prisoners. The indictment, which contained this ty-two counts, having been read, the question, " Are you guilty or not guilty," was put to the prisoners, to which they both answered, in a firm tone of yoke, Not Guilty." Mr. DOANE, who appeared on behalf of Daniel Good, ap plied to the Court that he might be tried separately. The ATTORNEY- GCNERAL, on the part of the Crown, had no objection to the adoption of that course. Molly Good was then removed from the bar, and the trial of Daniel Good proceeded—all the: witnesses for the prosecu tion, except the medical gentleinen, being ordered out of Court. .The ATTORNEY-OE N ERA t then proceeded to address the Jury on behalf of the prosecution: It was his duty to state to them the circumstances under which the prisoner at the bar was charged with the crime of murder. Before entering into a short detail of these events, which had given rise to the pre sent charge, he felt that it would be almost unnecessary for hint to beg of the Jury to disniiss altogether from their minds, as far as they could, every thing which they might have heard out of Court with respect to the' transactions which were the subject of inquiry now before them. Whatever they might have heard stated or have read elsewhere with respect to the f ac t s or to any op n i ons expressed on the subject, it was their duty to dismiss :rem their minds ; to proceed only upon the evidence that would be brought before them in the course of the inquiry, and to receive the law from the Learned fudge who preAded. On the 6th of April lest, on a Wednesday, a persc a of the name of Collin borne directed a policeman of the name of Gardiner to go, he be lieved, to Wandswmth, and apprehend the prisoner on a charge of stealing some articles of wearing apparel. The policeman went to the family house, where the prisoner had lived as coachman for upwards of two years. Mr. Shiel, the master of the, prisoner, occupied premises of great respectability at Putney, and there the policeman went expe c ti ng t o mee t w ith the prisoner. A s expeCted, the prisoner at the bar presented himself, and ;on inquiry beir.g made, and when he was told of the accusation that had been made against him by Mr. Col lingborne, he willingly at once offered to go to Wandsworth, where Mr. Collingborne lived. This the policeman objected to, and insisted upon searching the premises. He searched the coach-house and other places, but not finding the articles missed there, he p rocee d e d to searc h the stable. Upon his attempting to do so there appeared some reluctance on the part of the pri soner to per,ssiit it. The policeman, however, insisted upo discharging his duty ; the prison er o ff er i ng to go t o W an d swort h and pay for the articles, but this the policeman refused to ac cede to. The premises in question were at some distance from the house —about 300 yards. Putney Park-lane was not a great distance from Wandsworth, and the house of Mr. Shiells occupied a considerable space of ground, and as he had before stated, the stables were about 300 yards from the house. There was a back gate, by which any one might pass to the gardener's house and to the stables, and there was a larger gate, which was a public entrance. While the policeman was continuing his Search in the stables, he observed the prisoner at the bar go to one of the stalls and move some hay. 'f he pe e 'iceman immediately proceeded to the stall and told the prisoner that he did not require his assistance in snaking the search. The policeman turned the straw over to see if he could find the article which had been stolen. The prisoner went towards the door, and, upon an examination being made of the appearance of , something, and before it could be ascertained what it was, the prisoner rushed out, closed the door behind him, and locked it on the outside. There were at this time three or four persons in the stable. At first there was an at tempt. made to open the door, but finding it to be ineffectual they returned to the stall, and upon close examination they found the trunk efa human being, with the head and part of the neck cut off, the arms and legs also cut off, the arms cat off at the shoulder and the legs at the thigh ; and upon further inspection it was found to be the mutilated remains of a female, all the intestines having been extracted. The rest of the premises were then searched, and in the harness-room a register stove was discovered with a considerable quantity of fuel, ready prepared for lighting a fire, and in the ashes of the grate were found the remains of a human skull, vslach had been ex posed to considerable heat. An axe was also found, with marks of blood upon the handle ; and in a drawer a knife, which, ac cording to the description of one of the witnesses, was almost saturated with blood. Now it was a most important circum stance in the present case that the Jury should be made ac quainted with the fact, that the stable in which the mutilated remains were found was kept locked by the prisoner at the bar, as well as the harness-rroom ; he and he alone, had the sole control of the premises in which the body was found. The persons locked in the stable by the prisoner, after same diffi culty, succeeded in opening the door. The prisoner at the bar, however, had fled in the mean time, and the search after him proved unsuccessful. Upon the facts and circumstances which had now been stated, and as to the truth in proof of which there could be no doubt, vet y grave and serious questions would arise as , et) how far they effected the prisoner at the bar. The first question would be whether the remains of the unforttinate person were the remains of the individual who had been murdered. Another question of great importance would bes, who was the person murdered? The third question would bed by whom was the crime committed—whether or not it was committed by the prisoner at the bar? And the fourth question would be, by what means the crime was committed ? He would now call the at tention of the Jury to a short account of the hiStory of Jane Janes, who, in the different counts of the indictment was said to be the person on whom the violence had been committed. Jane Good, or Jane Jones, had, for a period of three years, or three years and a half, lodged in South street. The house at which she resided was kept by a person named Brown. Jane Good maintained herself by washing ; she lived in the lower part of the premises. At first she had both kitchens, but subsequently only one. It appeared that the prisoner at the bar had been acquainted with her for some time. At first she passed by the name of Jane Jones, but afterwards she took the name of Good, and was called Jane Good, or Mrs. Good. Shortly after this, the prisoner at the bar brought a. boy, about 7 or 8 years old, to live with her, who called her mother ; and the prisoner spoke of her as his wife. Until within the course of the last two years, the prisoner was was in the halit of going to Jane Good every day. but latterly he only went once or twice a week. Jane Good during the w h o l e per i o d h a d never b een absent from home a single night but one, and that was on Easter Sunday. She had the care of the boy, and the prisoner paid the rent to Mrs. Brown. It appeared that sometime before Sunday, the 3d of April, the Sunday before the remains were found, the prisoner at the bar represented to Alms. Brown that Mrs. Good was about to take a place in the country, and on the Sunday Jane Good herself made arrangements for the boy's sleeping else where for the night, but it was for the night only, when she requested a neighbour, who somewhat reluctantly afforded the accommodation, to permit the boy to remain there that night. She stated that it was but for one night only, as she would return at nine o'clock on the Monday morning. She never did return, and she never since has been seen alive. When she . went out, she• was observed by Airs. Brown, her dress was noticed by her, and he (the Attorney-General) be lieved that every part of that dress—certainly the greater part of it—would be distinctly traced by undoubted testimony to the possession of the prisoner at the bar. Some parts had been disposed of, it was hardly known bow, but the greater portion of it could be traced to his possession, especially the bonnet, the shawl, the gown, the petticoat, and even the laced lamas. The keys of the lodging, which Jane Good was in the habit of carrying about with her, together with the guard, were found either in the stable or the harness room. Sonic of these articles were given by the prisoner to a woman of the name of Butcher, who would be called before them. To that individual he gave the new bonnet anti other articles, giving an account of the mode in which lie became possessed of them—which it would be better perhaps that the Jury should hear from the witness herself. Alter Jane Good left her lodgings in South -street, she some where or other met the prisoner at the bar between the Red Lion and the Suspen sion-bridge at Hammersmith. At a quarter before four they were seen by one witness, and at half-past six they were seen by another going towards Putney Park-lane. They left the house of a person named Roy, where they had some beer. They were again seen between the spot and the stable of Mr. Shiel, and from that time nothing more was seen of Jane Good until the remains were found. On Monday it appeared that the pri soner at the bar went to the lodging, toek away the boy, and that he also had pawned some of the articles of wearing apparel which Jane Good had not taken away with her: On the Tues day a considerable smoke and a strong smell was observed coming from the chimney of the harness room of Mr. Shiel. The prisoner was asked the reason ; he was questioned as to whether he had been; singing the horses; hut the only reason he assigned for it was that he bad been toasting some cheese. On the Wednesday it would be proved that the prisoner went out with the poney-chaise, and took with him the bonnet and wearing apparel which he gave to the woman named Butcher, and upon his coming back he called at Mr. Collingborne's at Wandsworth, took away certain articles of wearing apparel which it had since been discovered he pawned soon after he purloined them. It would also be shown that after he locked the policeman and other parties in the stable that he went to the lodging occupied by Jane Good, that he got up early on the morning of Thursday and went away about half-past five o'clock, that he took several things with him which he left at the Spotted Dog in the Strand. He (the Attorney-General) believed that it could be distinctly THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 13, 1842 proved that he had taken everything away from the lodgings of Jane Godd, which belonged to her, with the exc e ption of the mangle, and th a t t h a t was felt tkier6 in order that the woman Butcher might have it. The evidence would trace him day by day, almost up to the moment of his apprehension. At the Spotted Dog he gave his name as Staunton, and at other plates he had procured disguises ; he obtained a hod and other things, and ultimately succeeded in getting a situation near Tonbridge as a bricklayer's labourer. The extraordinary circumstances which had excited stet - Ruch public attention had very naturally induced suspicion against any stranger, and the result of that suspicion was, the identification of the prisoner at the bar by one who knew biro. He was taken into custody near Ton bridge, was brought to London, and. was now dined upon to answer the dreadful charge which was made against him. With respect to the mutiiated remains which had been dis covered, it would be found among the medical men examined there was no difference in opinion as to certain facts. Upon examination it appeared to be an undoubted fact that the mutilated trunk court, within a few days, have belonged to a person, not only enjoying life but in perfect health. There was no trace of disease whatever, but there was a remarkable deficiency of blood in every part; the lungs were collapsed, the heart was healthy, but the entrails were taken out. Still it was manifest that the remains were those of an individual who had not died by natural means. The chest presented a healthy appearance, and all the medical men were agreed in opinion that death had been caused, not by apoplexy, but by violence, accompanied with considerable effusion of blood. Upon the premises were found two instruments which might have been used in the commission of the horrid deed; there was an axe, and a knife, both of which it would be shown were covered with Hood. Now, whether the un. fortunate person whose remains had been found was Jane Good it would be an important matter for the Jury to try. It was most remarkable, that considering the account of her going away, that she took nothing wail her. of any , sort or kind but the clothes she had on her, and that every thing she had left behind was taken possession of by the prisoner, and either sold, paw ned, or given away by him. There was some evidence of the person being reeigni cc( as that of Jane Good by a police man, who examined the remains, arid discovered a mole, which was kncern to be en the person of Jane Good. With respect, to the share the pilstiner had in the murder it would be in evi dence before the Jury that the premises, when all these things took place, were exclusively under the control of the prisoner. He permitted no one to light the fire in the harness-room, or to do anything in the stable. . Not one of 'the family bad access to the stable but himself. Those circumstances, coupled with the flight of the prisoner, and his conduct afterwards, must . be taken into consideration, when the question was what share t h e pr i soner h a d in the murder. Ahother point for the Jury to determine was the way in which the crime was committed. The different counts in the indictment were framed in order to meet every means by which the crime assumed could be committed. He felt himself hound, however, to call the attentionasf the Jury to that which, under the circumstances, appeared:le .him the most probable and reasonable cause of death. The state of the body excluded the idea of death by disease ; it excluded the idea of death by poison; and the remaining question therefore WAS, in what way was it effected. According to the statement of the medical men, death had taken place before the mutilation commenced, and it would there fore be the duty of the Jury, in the exercise of their deli berate judgment, to say what was the cause of death. He was desirous of placing before them all the circumstances con nected with the case, in order to enable them to discharge faithfully and effectively the grave duty which had devolved upon them. Upon those circumstances he asked the unbiassed exercise of their deliberate opinions ; but he thought himself bound, in the discharge of the important duty which bed been cast upon him, not to shrink from calling their attention to these parts of the case which bore on the question they had to decide. In the course of the narrative that he had given, he had adopted that course, feeling that the Jury had a most serious and important duty to discharge es between the public and the prisoner at the bar. He had stated to them, not in detail, but rather with a view to give them a general notion of the scope of the case, and the circum stances connected with the departure of this young woman, her disappearance on Sunday, and the discovery of her re mains. If, upon the whole of those circumstances, the jury should be satisfied that the,prisoner at the bar was so much mixed tip with those deplorable. events, that- little or no doubt could be left on tine mind of the jury as to the result to which any reasonable party would come, however painful it might be, it would be their bounden duty to come to the con clusion which, exercising a calm and deliberate judgment, keeping their attention fixed upon the peculiar circumstances of the case, these which were calculated to justify a doubt of the innocence of the prisoner, and those which were calculated to effect any explanation of his conduct; above all, those calculated directly, more than doubts and diffi culties, which he is called upon solemnly and seriously to deny, being placed at she bar under the dreadful charge of murder. If, after hearing all these things—if, after considering the state ments of the witnesses, there remained any reasonable doubts on the minds of the Jury as to the fate of the unfortunate wo man, and as to her being the person thus found, or as to her being suddenly deprived of life by the crime of murder, and if there should be any reasonable doubt as to the participation of the pi ironer in that crime, then they would give the priso ner the benefit of that doubt ; but it on the other hand they were satisfied that the case was clearly brought home to the prisoner at the bar, however painful it might be, they were bound in the discharge of their duty, and in obedience to the oath they had taken, to deliver their judgment as a record of their opinion, whatever the consequences might be to the prisoner at the Let': Police-constable Gardiner, V M. examined by Mr. Anoe estes—in consequence of something that had been stated to me I went to Att.. Shiells' house in Putney Park-lane, in the parish of Putney. When I went there I rang the bell; the prisoner at the bar opened the doer. I was accompanied by two l ids named Speed and Dagnell. One of the lads asked if the coachman was at home. Tim prisoner replied, "I am the coachman." I then stepped up to him, and told him I had come to take him into custody on the charge of stealing a pair of black trousers from Mr. Collingborne. The prisoner said ." Yea, I bought a pair of breeches, and did cot pay for them," and pulling out his purse, he said he would pay for them. I said that was net the charge I had come upon, and the prisoner said, " Very well; I'll go with you to Wandsworth and settle with Mr. Collingborne." I asked if he would let me examine the chaise and stable previous to doing that, and he consented. The two lads and I then entered the yard. I saw the prisoner's child running about the yard. I examined the pony chaise, and told , Speed to stand by the prisoner whilst I made the search. 1 then proceeded to search the harness room but saw nothing; whilst searching the chaise the prisoner said, "We will go to Wandsworth now and settle it." At that moment Houghton came in, and asked what was the matter. I explained to him. The prisoner wanted to go to Wands worth, I said I would not go till I had searched the stable. I, the two lade, prisoner, his child, and Houghton, then went into the stable. I desired Speed to stand by the prisoner. I searched the first and second stalls ot the stable, but found nothing. I then commenced to search the cornebinn, and the prisoner again expressed his desire to go to Wandsworth to have it set tled. I said I would not go till I had made a more diligent search. Prisoner then went to the fourth stall, and I saw him move some hay from one side to the other. I went to him and told him to go and stand by Speed, saying that. I did not require any of his aesistance. I then removed the hay which he had displaced; it was one truss; and I searched that. place. I searched two trusses and some loose hay, when I discovered something which appeared to me to be a goose. I called out, " What is this ? here's a goose ;" at that moment I heard the stable-door shut, and on loolong round I sa w that the prisoner was gone. I ran to the door and tried to open it, but I found it was fastened on the outside. Speed took a three .pronged fork and began to prize the door ; I assisted him at first, but did not open the door, so I went back to ascertain what it was that I had found. The two lads and Houghton followed me down to the stall. 1 removed the re. mainder of the hay, and found the -trunk of a female ; it was lying on its belly ; Speed turned it over ; the arms were cut off at the shoulders, the legs at the thighs, the head was severed at the lower part of the neck, and the abdomen was cut. open and the entrails taken out. I then %suet to the door and forced it. In an hour and a halt I pursued the search in the same stall. I searched the third stall with another constable, and removed several trusses of straw, when I found a mattress and two blankets rolled up together. I unfolded the mattresaand dis covered a large scant as of urine upon it. I saw some blood on the ground near to where the body was lying. I lett the mat tress, &e, in charge of another constable. Cross-examined - by Mr. DOANE--4 ced went with me from Wandworth; I had known him befot e; he is here to-day. Dagnall was the servant of Mr. Collingborne. He is here. It was about half-past nine when I arrived at the stable, and I consequently examined it by the light of my lantern. In the fourth stall I dis covered what appeared to be blood. I did not make any fur ther inquiry to ascertain whether it was blood or no. I did not leave the stable from the time of first entering until about one o'clock next morning, and I then left there Sergeant Palmer and police-constable Tye. By the COURT-1 can't exactly say what quantity of blood there was ; it was not very much ; about eight or ten inches from where the body was lying, and not exactly under the body. There was some loose hay in the stall, but it had not the appearance of animals having been there. Robert Speed, examined by Mr. WADDINGTON—I live at Wandsworth. On the 6th of April last I went with the last witness to Putney Park-lane. We went first to the House ar.d then to the stable. On ringing the bell the prisoner opened the gate, and the daughter of Houghton also came up. The policeman said he had come about some 'black trousers ; the prisoner said he had no black trousers. We all afterwards sent into the stable, the prisener leading the way. Ile opened the stable-door with a key, which he took from his pocket. I kept near the prisoner when we got inside, and Gardiner commenced searching the stable. I saw the prisoner move sonic hay in the third stall, and Gardiner told him to stand back ; the prisoner then did stand back near to me, which was about two yards from the place where Gardiner was searching. Gardiner soon afterwards called out, '° What is this ?" 1 stepped over to see what it was, and the prisoner rushed to the door of the stable, and ran out, and I heard the door locked imtne diatelyafterm ards. . . By the Cou RT—I afterwards broke the door open, but the key was not in it then. Thomas Houghton, examined by Mr. H. GURNEY—On the 6th April last, I was gardener to Mr. Shiells. On that evening I went into the stable, where I found the p r i soner, t h e police man, Speed, and Dagnall. The harness_roo m was i n th e care of the prisoner, and no one else had access to it. Th e pr i soner kept the key cf the stable, and lighted the fire i n th e harness room. On the he issuingmor morning of the harne ss _ room; it was quite a the sth, ab out s i x o ' clock, I ob served a usual thing to have a fire in the harness_room at that time of the morning. On Wednesday evening, the stov e was laid with a great quantity of wood and coal, ready for lighting ; there was three times as much fuel as would be necessary for a common fire. Cross-examined—l had not been in the harness-room before for some time, not having been good friends with him. I had looked into the harness-room through one of the windows which looked into the kitchen-garden. 1 was in the garden about six on the morning of the sth, and was in the habit of being there every day at that time. I worked till six o'clock in the evening. 1 sleep in a cottage which is about fifty or sixty yards from the stable. I have a wife, daughter, and san living with me in this cottage; m y son has slept for sow time p'st over the stable. The cottage is in one range of buildings with the stable, cow-house, &c., there is no back between them, but you cannot pass from one to the other without going into the street. Next to my cottage is the cow-house, then the tool house, and then came the stable, where my son sleeps. I ge nerally go to bed about ten o'clock in the evening. On the Sunday previous to the discovery of the body I wer.t to bed about ten. My son assisted me as gardener. I have seen the stalls open, but the prisoner never left the door unlocked when he was not there himself. There is a door close to the harness room which leads up stairs to the room where my son sleeps, which is over the back harness-room. I had two other men and a boy employed under me, but none of them slept on the pre mises. It is necessary to light a fire in the harness-room in wet weather to keep the harness dry. By the COURT—My son sleeps over the back harness-rocm. It was in the front harness-room that I saw the wood laid for a fire. There is a communication betwee n the stables and the harness-room. There was no curtain to either of the windows in the harness-room ; the lower panes of the windows looking into the garden were of ground glass, so that a person of ordi nary height could not see into the room. Samuel Smith Dagnall examined by the ATTORNEY-GENE RAL-1 am in the service of Mr. Collingborne, who is'a pawn broker at Wandsworth. On Wednesday night I was at Air. Shiells'. I went to the stable. I remember Gardiner saying, " Here's a goose." The prisoner then went out of the stable. I was holding Gardiner's lamp at the time. I tried to get out, but could hot then, the door Wes locked. Samuel Palmer, police-sergeant, S 6, examined by the AT TORNEY-GENERAL—On the night of the 6th April last I was on duty in Putney, about a mile from Mr. Shielisf stables. I went to those stables that night about eleven o'clock, W H USE OF LORDS. saw the remains of a human body. Policeman Gar h risC re cr l , Houghton, his son, and Speed were there then.

Shiells' again, and I searched the chaise; on opening the driv ing -box, a very bad smell issued from it, and I found a small piece of flesh attached to the box, on the outside, under the cushion. On this occasion [ found some more bones in the furnace. Cross-examined—The small piece of flesh I found on the box was about half the size of a pea. Palmer was with me on the 6th, when I found the bones which I have produced. He found some at the same time. I showed the hones to Mr. Allen, a medical gentleman, the same night that I found them. John Husain examined by Mr. WADDINGTON—I am Inspector of the V divison of police. On.the night of 6th April, about a quartar-past eleven, I went to Mr. Shiells' stables. I saw the trunk of a female, and proceeded to search the harness room, the door of which was locked. I got the key from Houghton. I found a wooden box in the room, in which 1 found some man's linen and some books. I searched the stable, and in the drawer of a table I found this knife produced ; there appeared to be stains of blood on the haft and blade. I showed the knife to a medical gentleman the 'text day. I then searched near the fire-place, and on the right-hand side, up against the chimney, I found this axe. The next day I examined it, and I observed what appeared to be stains of blood upon the pole of the axe, and on each side of the edge. I found this piece of a handkerchief, which appears to be marked with blood ; it was hanging upon a line across the harness room. On a saddle rest, I found the followings part of a female's wearing apparel : —Two parts of a flannel petticoat, which seemed to have been torn violently asunder, a part of a calico petticoat, marked with blood, which was covered by a box coat. I also found this bottle lying under the window, it contained a few drops of what I believe to have been milk. It was on the Bth that I found this bottle. On the night of the 6th I searched the fire-place, and amongst the coals I found a quantity of calcined bones. The fire waslaid ready for lighting ; I removed the fuel, and it was under that that I found the calcined bones. 1 also found a small quantity of tea in a box. On the Bth I instituted a search, and, assisted by Dr. Ridge, I found these bones produced, they were amongst the cinders, and by sifting the cinders we separated the one from the other. I found these umbrellas in the harness-room. On the same day, I examined the body, it having been previously washed, I observed on the neck, about half an inch below where her head had been taken off, a very dark small mole— I produce a board with the inscription " Mangling done here," which I received from the landlord of the house No. 18, South street, Manchester-square. Cross-examined.—l have kept the knife with great care since I first found it, and I believe it presents the same appearance as it did then. BIN ,1113A.L PARLIAMENT. (Tnis DAY.) John Houghton examined by Mr. W. GURNEY—I am the son of Thomas Houghton, and on the 6th April I was in Mr. Shiells' employ. I slept in a room which was partly over the stab.e end partly over the harness-room. I did not go through the stable to get to my room. Good kept the key of the sable. It was always locked. On the sth April I rose at halt-past six. I saw the prisoner then. I perceived a smell as is of the singing of horses. I asked the prisoner what it was ? He replied that he had been in liquor over-night, and had been toasting some cheese. I heard a cracking noise, such as is produced by a fire burning, and the prisoner said he had a tire dryino• the harness. I have seen a little boy with the prisoner. and the prisoner said he was his son. He told me that his (pri soner's) sister, Jane Jones, had care of him. I have seen her with the prisoner at Putney three times; the last time was on Easter Monday. The prisoner did not then tell me who she was. It was about ten o'clock in the morning when I saw her. I did not particularly observe her dress, but fthink she wore a blue boanet.

The Shares appear to be forgotten, which is easily accounted for in consequence of the settlement having taken place yesterday. It is currently reported that a messenger, with despatches, has arrived from Lord Ashburton, and that his Lordship is fa vourable to pecuniary assistance being afforded to America by this country, by taking a portion of the new loan. Great ca pitalists appear to be very averse to agree in this view, justly , considering that no sufficient security can be given in exc h ange for the cash ; but it is to be feared that some, of steelier means, may be induced to participate in the suppositious be nefits should it be brought here. A letter from Illinois, received by the Great Western, not only fully illustrates the position of want of security, but is interesting as a sample of Ame rican feeling among themselves. It states that the people of the north-east counties (of Illinois) have held meetings, and determined to secede from the State, set up for themselves, and form a new State. Now, as it has never been denied in America that the prin ciple upon which these . people have acted is perfectly fair and justifiable, no reason exists why, when this new loan shall have been increased to an inconvenient amount, and which it in evitably must be in the course of a few years, that the principle will be fully carried out through the Union, and although repu diation will not be mentioned, yet it will in reality be adopted, and the unfortunate creditors be left in the lurch. Nearly 20 millions of money hare already been advanced by individuals in this country to the various States of the Union, for which not one fraction will apparently be received ; and this fact is of itself sufficient ti; cause the rejection of the new loan, were it not strengthened by the circumstance that the Constitution of America forbids any guarantee to be given.

LATER NEWS FROM HAMBURGH. By the General Steam Na vigation Company's packet Coun tess of Lonsdale, Captain S tranack, which has just arrived from Hamburgh, having per formed the voyage in less than forty-seven hours, we have received the Hamburgh papers of Tuesday last. The fire had been confined n early within the limits stated in our former report, and had beets completely reduced. The following is an extract fro as the Hamburgh Nachrichten of Tuesday last : • " The fire having been entirely extinguished, tranquillity begins to be gradually re-established. The inhabitants, with their goods, are returning and finding shelter in the houses that have been spared. For those who ha' e been rendered roofless provision is making by the authorities, and by the generous zeal of our citizens and neighbours. '1 he Tivoli Theatre has already announced that the gross receipts of one of its first performances shall be given to the sufferers from the conflagra tion. The reports that were in circulation of acts of ineen diarism, and of whole gangs of incendiaries, are gradually dyieg away, or showu more and more to have originated in misunderstanding. Excesses have been committed in conse quence of the public excitement, and some English residents have been sufferers from those acts; but none of our friends abroad, leant of all our high-minded friends in Great Britain, will judge these acts too severely, or lay the blame of them on our now too deeply afflicted city. " The excellent fire brigade from Lubeck leaves us to-mor row to return home. " From Bremen 1,400 carpenters have been sent to out as sistance. "Among the strangers that hive arrived, with a view to ren der us what service might be in their power, may be named, the Governor of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein ; and Burgomaster Schmidt, ircm Bremen." (Fitor THE SAME PAPER.) " The reports of incendiarism that have prevailed during the last two days have led to scenes which have again filled our city and the vicinity with consternation. The excitement of the multitude at the supposed crimes has led to attacks on in dividuals, some of whom have been seriously, and some, it is feared, even mortally injured. Official proclamations have been published, declaring that, from the investigations hitherto made, there dem not appear to be any foundation for these re ports, but that, on the c on t rar y, th ose w h o h ave b een i ll-treated by the multitude, are precisely among those who have been most zealous and active in their humane efforts for the public benefit. " The blowing up of the corner of the Gras K e ll er , an d o f Streit's Hotel, has evidently been the saving of that part of the town beyond those buildings, and the blowing up of a row of houses on the Pferde-Markt has had the effect of arresting the conflagration in that direction." The article goes on to say that Mr. Thomson, a principal engineer in the service of Messrs. Gleichmann and Besse, had rendered the most important services in effecting the explosions by which so large a portion of the city had been saved, and evidently hints that Mr. Thomson is one of those against whom the injurious su'picions of the public had been so un justly directed. We have received a plan of Hamburgh, with the extent of the conflagration exactly marked out. The New Exchange has escaped unhurt, though all the housca round about have been completely destroyed. The Town-house in the Ncuer Wall has also been saved. For the preservation of the New Exchange the city is indebted to the zeal and exertions of a M r . S m ith. The following is an exact list of the streets that have Win entirely or partly destroyed : Grutz-twiete. Neut.: Wall. Hoptenmarkt. Scheelengang. Neue-hurg. Voglers-Wall. Bohnen-strasse. Grosse Bleichen (partially). Aluhlenbruclie. Kleine Konig-strasse. Grosser and Kleiner Burstah Grosse Konig-strasse (only a Ness (partially). few houses). Grouse Backer-strasse. Alte Jungfernstieg. Dore busch (partially). Bei der Kunst. Pelzer-strasse (ditto). Bergstrasse. Filter-strasse. Grosse and Kleine Paulstrarse Fichmarkt (partially). Zuchthaus-strasse. Schmiede-strasse. Holzdamrn. IBerg.

Ciraskeller. Of the Neuer Wall it appears that the houses at the southern extremity have not been destroyed. Of the Rodings Markt only the eastern side has been burnt. Some houses at the southern extremity of the Deichstrasse appear likewise to have escap e d. The whole of tile 'Old Jungfernstieg is gone, but the New Jungfernstieg has not been injured. The Publ i ip *l;sosis and the City Library have escaped. S h d h re ar an b d ee t n he re A ac iste e r: buti t ila j it ac hor ob la ill es ir tilrtfr. s ik I,s- en that c` o hti , , inchidini v arei-Rigin-..strag-s#, the Breite Strasse, the Pferde Marla, thp - Apitaler ,Estrasse, the- Schweine Markt,i &c., are completely ;one. A great Trail of the Grosse Bleichen has been saved, and in the Konig Stra7se only a few houses have been burnt down. The three prisons, the Zuchthaus, the Spinnhaus, and the DetentionshauS, have been completely destroyed. The conflagration has destroyed rather more than a fourth part of the city, as far as extent is concerned, but viewing the relative importance of the different quarters of the town, the portion that has been burnt must far exceed in value that which has been preserved. The Nachrichten of Tuesday contains the following ad vertisement : " Colonel Hodges requests the attendance of the British re sidents of Hamburgh at a public meeting to be held at her Britannic Majesty's Consulate in the Fuhlentwiete, on Thurs day, May 12, at two o'clock P.M. to take into consideration the steps necessary to be pursued in order to make an ap_peal to the British nation in f avour o f t h e di stresse d poor of Ham burgh, who, by the existing calamitous and destructive fire, have become totally destitute. " Her British Majesty's Consulate, May 9, 1842." The Courrier Francais gives the following letter from an officer of one of the vessels of war off Tangiers dated April 19th :—" In pursuance of orders brought by the Grondeur steamer, we have quitted the delicious station of the Tagus for these melancholy latitudes. If we had to send a few bullets against the Morocco people, that would reconcile us a little to the change, but diplomacy takes place of artillery, and the Grondeur was here before us to announce our coming Our little division consists of the Jena, 90 gun-ship, the Africane, frigate of 60, the Volage, brig of 10, and Grondeur of 160 horse-power —more than is necessary to demolish the fortifications of Tangiers. When we appeared before the port, we were taken for Americans come to avenge the insult offered to their Consul. Such was the alarm that a great number of families fled to the mountains. When they learned that we were French, the a.itation calmed down. It would appear from this that the inhabitants have no great fear of us ; they see that we are always threatening, without ever executing.' TILE TRUCK SYSTEM.—The Select Committee ap pointed to inquire in the frauds committed upon the working classes by this oppressive system, met yesterday, and elected Lord Ashley to be their chairman. They then adjourned until Wednesday the 25th instant, on which they will commence their labours, by instituting an inquiry into its extent and effects, as practised in Bradford, Yorkshire, and the surround ing district. _ _ - The Gazette de Law anne relates that a boy of eight years of age, residing at Chambery, in playing nearing a pre cipice, lost his balance, and fell down a perpendicular depth of 162 feet. At that distance he met the branches of a tree, which, bending with bier-weight and afterwards rebounding, sent him forward 91 feet lower ! He was found half an hour afterwards, with cony a thigh b ro k en an d so me slight scratches. He is not ceusidere in any danger. • THE LAZE RAILROAD ACCI:DENT NEAR PARIS. (From Galignani's Messenger.) The painful interest excited by this melancholy et sent con tinues unabated, or, to speak more, correctly, augeut •nts with each new afflicting detail; for every hour has shown that the accounts of the disaster, which were in the first instanee founded upon public rumour, were not exaggerated, as is usually the case, but were rather under the truth. The Gazette de France of yesterday evening has the eel. lowing :—" The official declaration of the death of ReareAd miral Dumont d'Urville, and his wife and only son, a you th of fourteen, has been received by the Minister of Marine. The bodies of this unhappy family have been recognised by several persons, and, as has been already stated, a letter, which was found on the person of the Admiral, did root permit any doubt to be entertained of his identity. .M. Dumont: d'Urville, who had commanded two expeditions of circum navigation, and braved so many dangers during a career of more than thirty-five years, was aged only fifty-one years and a few months. He was created a Rear-Admiral in 1840. It will be remembered that this celebrated navigator gave the name of his wife Adelie to the region which he disco vered in his last expedition. By the orders of she Minister of Marine a commission has visited the late residence of the Ad miral, to collect. all the payers which may be usetal to the navy or to science. It is not true that a naval officer perished with him, but the report may be attributed to the following circum stances :—ln one of the wag,e,ons was a Li eu t enan t de Vais seau, named Guilbert, and his young wife. The vehicle they were in followed that in which were the admiral and his family, and was thrown with great -violence by the shock againet that which preceded it, but the lieutenant had so much presence of mind, strength, and resolution, that in a few seconds he succeeded in releasing his lady and himself from their danger-- cue and distressing position, and getting aw a y f rom t h e scene of desolatio n . Among the sufferers was a young builder named Pouf, who had both his le g s cut off. In the same car riage were his brother and his sister-in-!awe who both got safe. out, but, on looking for him, they found him horribly muti lated, as we have said. They got him to Paris, where he soon died. It has been stated that the number of dead, including those in the hospitals and at their own homes, amount to at least 107. This at present may be an exaggeration, but from the many known to be in a precarious state, the estimate is likely ere long to be fully realised." The Monitear Parisien furnishes the following additional detail :—" From the want of water, the fire continued to rage until its aliment was almost entirely exhausted, and did not subside till eleven o'clock. Its intensity might be judged of by the quantity of the jewellery and money belonging to the pas sengers afterwards found in a state of fusion among the ashes. It. is stated that one of the rails had been broken to the extent of four or five yards. The two nephews of M. Roulin, librarian of the Institute, were seriously injured. At eight o'clock, about two hours after the accident, a train arrived in Paris with some of the victims recovered from the burning mass. One died on the way, and six were placed in one of the rooms of the station, converted into a temporary hospital. A captain of artillery had his leg broken initwo places. A woman had her thigh and leg broken, and her face, mouth, and hands, terribly scalded by the steam. One elderly man had his jaw fractured. One of the stokers was dreadfully crushed on the loins, and two other men were suffering from various contusions. They were all in a state of stupor or delirium. M. Berard, surgeon of the Necker hospital, accompanied by M. Daremberg, one of the assistants, and a great many stu dents, came and had them conveyed to the Institution, or to their homes. At twelve o'clock on the day after the accident, the site of the catastrophe still presented a frightful spectacle. The two engines completely blocked up the road, and at certain distances along it were to be seen carbonised fragments of the waggons, calcined bones, remnants of shawls and veils, and various ,portions of dresses stained with blood. Some soldiers kept the ground clear for such as came to seek traces of t heir lost relations. W e are i n f ormed that the grand son of a late Prefect was among the killed. We are happy to learn that M. Rebel, the Avocet, is considered to be out of danger. He was taken into the house, at Meudon, of M. Walker, a pleader at the Tribunal de Commerce, who also took charge of several others. " Mr. George, the engineer, who was killed, was for many years employed in the St. Etienne Railway. On the after noon of this melancholy accident he went with the same loco motives to Versailles, and had with him his two sons, who were to have returned with him at halt-past five ; but they sol cited leave to stay to see the close of the playing of the waters, which was granted, and thus they probably escaped destruction. Not the slightest vestige of this unfortunate man's remains has been found. Three watches have been discovered, one of which is said to have belonged to him, but even this is not positive. He was forty-one years of age, and is said to have been distin guished for sobriety and good conduct." The following results of the disaster is given by this morn ing's Quotidienne :—" It was ascertained last night that 87 were dead, comprising these who expired in the hospitals, and, from the state of others who are injured, there is every reason to apprehend the number will be increased to upwards of 96." The Debuts states the number of dead to be much smaller than that given by some of the journals, brit more considerable than the number stated by the Messager. According to the Debats, the number of deaths known up to yesterday evening was 59. Among the dead seas M. Chavardes, an insurance agent of Bezirres, accompanied by a friend and his wife, who had been married only three months, and two other friends. The bus. hand of the lady, who is lodged at the Hotel du Globe, in the Rue Croix des Petits CliampS, had both his legs fractured; two gendarmes dragged him from the waggon, but it required so much force, that the joints of both the poor man's arms were dislocated. This was partly occas:oned by hisgrasping his wife in the hope of saving her also, but she was so much burnt, that a fragment of her flesh came off in his hand. Among the persons recognised at the Morgue are a lady named Mignot, and her son-in-law, and M. Droitecourt, au oil merchant, of the Rue Mauconseil. The son of General Pertherny, a youth only 17, and a friend of his father's, were taken home on Monday evening very much disfigured, but hopes are entertained that both will recover. A M. Albinet, of the Rue d'Enfer, who is 76 years old, had both his thighs broken. Ho refuses to undergo amputation, and is waiting his last moment with perfect resignation. His son, his grand son, and the wife of the latter, weac with him in the train, and are all severely injured. A young man, who was on the top of one of the waggons, was thrown by the shock into a vine ground. He felt much hurt, but was able to drag himself to a neighbourmg house. lie opened the door and entered, seated himself on a chair, and uttering a cry, fell de a d. O ne o f t h e stakes for t ra i n i ng t h e v i nes had pierced his chest. " A singular incident occurred during the confusion on Sun day evening. M. Mari in, a merchant, having a country house at Bellevue, had his cabriolet and his horse at his door, ready to r onvey him to Paris, but called away by the report of the accident, he became.so engaged by h.s anxiety to render assist. ante, that he entirely forgot his intended departure, and when ho returned to his house at a late hour, his cabriolet and his horse had disappeared, and were nst seen till five o'clock yes terday morning, when they were brought back and fastened at his own clone. They had, in the meantime, been used in conveying the sufferers to Paris." FALL OF A RAILWAY BRIDGE AND LOSS OF LIFE. (From the Chelmsford Chronicle of this day. ) Yeste: day morning a fearful accident occurred on the works of the Eastern Counties Railway, at Kelvedon, in the fall of a stupendous bridge, which was very near completion, occa sioning the loss of one life, and injuring six other persons. The bridge in question was situated on the north side of the high road, at the east end of Kelvedon. h consisted of three arches, the first being thrown over the road leading to Cogg,cs hall, the second over the ricer, and the third joined up to the embankment at the Colchester end. The centre of the first arch was struck last week, and the road under it had been thrown open to the public. The clearing of the timbers from the other arches was completed on Monday, and a great number of bricklayers had been employed throughout this week in carrying up the parapets. The rails had been laid down, and the earth waggons were worked over it, to carry on the embankment at the eaet end. Yesterday morning there were altogether about twenty men employed upon it, when,. about ten o'clock, the whole suddenly came down with a crash which sounded to the inhabitants of Kelvedon like a heavy peal of thunder. Fifteen or sixteen bricklayers. who were upon the scaffolding, were hurled, with the bricks, timber, and earth, in all directions, some of them falling intsa the river ; but, fortunately, they appear to have escaped with only a few bruises and lacerations. At the moment of the fall, however, a man named Thomas Llsley, a " tipper on the embankment, was standing behind a leaded earth-waggon, at the edge of the last arch, and was con sequently carried clown in the fall, the earth-v agg,on falling on him, crushing and partially burying him in the rubbish. As :soon as the confusion consequent upon the alarm of the terrific crash had subsided, prompt assistance was rendered to extricate bran, but he was quite dead. Another man, an aged labourer, was got out from the mass of rubbish, and was found to have onelof his legs dreadfully crushed ; but prompt medical assistai ice being rendered it is hoped he may survive. For some time it was feared that several other person% had perished, but the workmen were assembled, and it was found this was not the ease. A bricklayer, named Waight, had an almost. miraculous es— cape from destruction. He was employed upon the brick-w ork near the end of the bridge, and feeling the whole mass giving way under him, he gave a sudden spring and jumped into tile middle of the river, by which he escaped comparatively unhurt. We are informed that the accident was caused by the wet state of the weather when the work was put together. In col a -1 sequence of which the centres have been kept in for the last foi it months, by the direction of the engineer-in -chief, but were, 'En the course of the last week, eased by the contractor. The whc he mass was at first a wreck, completely blocking up the roa d, but vast numbers of workmen were employed in clearing aw ty the materials, to make a way for passengers along the road, and afford a vent to the waters of the river, which were partiall: . y dammed up the ruins. This was speedily effected, and both the road anel river were restored to their former state. The damage is estimated at 2,6001., which will fall upon the con - tractors, Messrs. Wythes. Soon after the accident occurred, Mr. Braithwaite, the e n g!neer-in-chief, was upon the spot, to take the necessary stein, and ascertain the cause of, and remedy the calamity.

BRITISH S UGAR .—We have been shown a sample of what is called British sugar, manufactured, we believe, from potato-starch, which has been offered to grocers in this town for the purpose of mixing with (that is, of adulterating) West India sugar—the party offering it suggesting that the spurious article (which costs only 52.5. per cwt., whilst West India, of the same colour, costs about' 745.) may be used to the extent of one-fourth ; "but, at any rate (the writer adds), one-fifth will never be seen or found out." This stuff has certainly a sweetish taste, and the use of it is net so gross a fraud upon the purchaser as that of potato-starch in its natural state ; hut no honest grocer will consent to adulterate his sugar with any such trash; and we hope that a test will b e di=covered tor detecting the fraud wherever it may be prac tised. It is quite enough that people should be compelled to pay the present extravagant price for sugar without being defrauded by mixtures of this sort into the bargain.-4 Ans. chester Paper.
