ttmll Wbition THE BERMONDSEY MURDER (THIS DAY.) ADJOURNED INQUEST. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) William Dine, the clerk in the cloak-room at the Lon. don-bridge station, said—About a week back I delivered two boxes to Inspector Haynes. I do not know anything about them, except that they were taken from a lady or, the 13th of August, between one and three o'clock in the afternoon. Upon depositing the boxes I gave her a corresponding number to this (the witness produced a piece of paper bearing the No. 456). This was placed on one box, and a simi lar ticket was placed on the other. Mr. Richard John Moxey was next examined—l am superintendent of the Edinburgh city police, and I live in Parliament-square, Edinburgh. In consequence of information I received I proceeded on the forenoon of Tuesday along with one of our officers, and Mr. Dobson, a stock-broker, to 25, Haddington-place, Leith-walk, Edinburgh. I called at the lodging house of Mrs. Hewitt, and asked for Mrs. Smith, and was shown into a room where I found a female reading a newspaper, the Times of the 28th. I said, " Mrs. Smith I presume ?" She rose up politely and said " Yes." I said, " I beg your pardon, madam, but if you are Mrs. Smith you are not the lady I want. Are you a married lady ?" She said, " Yes." I said, " Where does your hu3band reside?" and she replied that he was dead. I then said, " Have you been long in town?" She said, " A few days—l cause to town on Tuesday or Wednesday." In reply to another question, she said she could refer to no one who knew her except Mrs. Shaw over the way, who recom mended her to the lodgings. I asked her where she came &Ala, and she said from Newcastle, and at she came for the benefit of her health. She spoke of having bathed at Portobello, a watering-place three miles from Edin burgh. I spoke to her about her finances, and asked her it she had any scrip for sale. She said " What do you mean by scrip?" I said "Have you any r4ilway shares for sale ?" She said she had. I asked her if she had offered any for sale, and she said she had not. I then said, "My im pression is that you are the wife of Frederick George Alarming," at the same time asking Mr. Dobson, who was outside the door, to come in, and he did ; and, in answer to a question of mine, she admitted that she was the lady who had offered some scrip for sale. I then said, I wish to see your luggage; she made no objection, and the luggage was produced. It consisted of a carpet-bag, a trunk, and a box; they were locked, at least that was my impression, and she produced to me a bunch of keys. - The box was opener; with one of the keys. It contained chiefly women's wear ing apparel and some papers. Among the first things I saw was a bill, headed "F. G. Manning, Taunton," thus showing at once who the party was. My suspi cions being confirmed, I closed up the box, and turning to Mrs. Manning said, I am superintendent of police, and I charge you with being concerned in the murder of Patrick O'Connor, but you are not bound to answer any questions or say anything. I cautioned her in the usual way. She denied generally that she had anything to do with the crime with which she was charged. I said she would have to go with me, and I again asked her if she had any scrip. She said she had, but that it belonged to her. She said it was in the large trunk. I unlocked it and found lyirg very near the top the scrip described iu the printed a dvertisements which I had received. There was, besides other scrip in the Sambre and Meuse Railway Company, from 26,523 to 26,532, both inclusive. I also found what I believe to be a Spanish bond, No. 3,600. I found in the same trunk a rec . purse, containing seventy-three sovereigns, one 501. Bank of England note (11,037, Nov. 9, 1848); also six 10/. notes, five of which are dated June 11, 1849, aed numbered respectively, 67,372, 67,373, 67,374, 67 : 375 and 67,376; and the other is dated Nov. 4, 1848 No. 78,378. There is another 51. note, dated July 30, 1849, and numbered 20,051. You will find the sum, I think, altogether 1801. The purse also contained a gold ring, and a railway ticket of the London and North Western Railway, with the name of Smith upon it, which appears to be for excess of luggage. I think it is dated the 14th of August. I then removed her with all the luggage, and locked the door of her apartments. At the station I caused her to be searched by two females, and all she had upon her was given to me. Those females are not present. The articles upon her were a gold chain, a watch, a key, a clasp, a brooch with a woman and a child painted upon it, and another Scotch pebble brooch, some thread and a thimble; another small purse, containing 31.; six penny postage stamps, and some other things. I then caused her to be locked up, and telegraphed with Inspector Haynes. In the course of the evening I went to see if she was comfortable, and she said she wanted more bedding, or something of that sort. I asked her where her hus band was, and she said she did not know. She then make a voluntary statement to this effect:—" I left town suddenly; I came off on Monday when he was out (meaning her husband); I have left him as I have done before. I was afraid of my life; he has maltreated me for a long time past; his threats gene rally were that he would cut off my head, and he has pursued me with a knife." All of this she said she could prove by the servants who lived with her at Taunton. She then said that she left her house on Monday, that she left two boxes at the London- bridge terminus, the ticket of which I would find in her purse ; that she had come on to Easton square ; that she had slept in the neighbourhood of Euston square all night and started the following morning by the train for Newcastle ; that on reaching Newcastle she went to a coffee-house accompanied by two female passengers—lrish women I understood her— and that they slept there all night; and that she came on to Edinburgh on the Wednesday. I may state, since I came ta town .1 showed all these things to the deceased's landlady, but I don't think she has recognised any. In the small box, in a green purse, I found an extract from a register, dated 27th of May, 1847, of the marriage of Frederick George Manning and Maria De Roux. There has been no mi nute examination of the articles to see whether any name or marks were upon them. On the following day she was taken before the magistrates. She made no commu nication to me: further than what I have already stated. (Another gold (Geneva) watch, a mosaic chain, and several other articles were produced by the witness). Mr. Stevens, stockbroker, carrying on business at the R iyal Exchange, said—l had known Mr. Patrick O'Connor about three years, simply in the way of bu siness. I bought the Sambre and Meuse scrip produced, which passed through my hands and bear my initials, which I delivered to Mr. O'Connor on the 6th of Aug. inst. They are the advertised shares. They commence at 6,460 and end at 6,469, inclusive. Mr. Moxey produced these shares, also those in the Amiens and Boulogne Railway. Mr. Stevens identified them botb. The Amiens and Boulogne were numbered from 48 665 to 48,6Z1, and he delivered them to the deceased on the 11 th of May. They might, however, have been purchased by twenty persons since. On the Ist of August a female came to nay shop in !the Royal Ex change, and asked me a variety of questions, stating that she had been recommended by Mr. Patrick O'Con nor, and that she had about 2001. which she wished to invsst in foreign securities. I asked her to give ber name and address; she wrote on a slip of paper, Maria Manning, and said she would call again. I have never seen her since. I thii.k I should know her again; she was rather a fine, stout looking woman. There was another female waiting outside. I don't think I should know her without her bonnet. She said she wished to get some kind of stock or shares which were nut registered, and which she might sell unknown to her husband. This created a suspicion in my mind. Mr. Moxey stated that in the course of his conversation with Mrs. Manning she said she had some money which her husband wished to get from her ; that she refused to give it up, and that this gave rise to the quarrel between them; that she applied to Mr. O'Connor on thE sohjvct, and that in consequence of a conversation be tween him and her, she called upon a stockbroker, whose name I think she said wss Stevens, and that a part of the scrip I found in her possession had been purchased by Mr. O'Connor for her. She did not say what part; ut 1 think she said that the Spanish bond was Lund by her husband. The jury then adjourned for refreshments. After the return of the jury, the landlady of the de ceased was called, when our report left. A FFA IRS of FRAN CE and ROME. REPORT OF THE FRENCH COUNCIL OF STATE ON THE CONDUCT OF M. DE LESoRPS Al ROME. --- - The jioniteur publishes the following on the affair of M. de Lesseps :—" Art. 99 of the Constitution de clares :—‘ The National Assembly and the President of the Republic may in any case order an examination into the acts of any functionary, except the President of the Republic, by the Council of State, whose report shall be " The following report, adopted by the Council of State in its sittings of the 6th and Bth of August, is published in execution of the above rtiole " Monsieur le President,—ln execution of Art. 99 o! the Constitution, you have referred to the Council o f Stite . the examination of the acts of M. do Lessep: relative to the mission confided to him in Italy. [The report here recapitulates the circumstances which preceded tie appointment of M. de Lesseps, and then s'Y , :] —The twofold object of the mission of M. de LessPpa an l a 'i r r o s h t, to removo frcin the States of the Church the t d ae . h desolates them.' M. ch Lesseps, although charged to enter into arrangeinint. with the men invested po se r'wwithhic,h at this moment, mus , abstain from anything w ould make them believe that we co.asider them as a regularthe tioverntent, them a moan force of which or lend destitute. He can only enter into partial l hltherto been with them.' In the second place, the Mlsa4iin)ag.:Ell6.lll, 1 tends ow to ' prevent the re•estahlishment of a regular P Rome from being compro mi se d i n tho future by aej es reaction. In preventing the develo p me nt of the intvr- vention eivrcib(d by other powers animated with less moiera'e sentiments 4, a larger place must be preserved f cir our especial and direct influence. On the other hand must be avoided every word, every stipulation of a na ture to excite the susceptibilities of the Holy See and (Iv the conference at Gaeta, which are t oo much disposed to believe that we are inclined to think too lightly of the Court of Rome. To attain these results, it is prescribed to the envoy to act in concert with AIM, d'Harcourt and de Rayneval on every subject of any gravity, on e ver y thin g which i shall not require an ab so lutely immediate solu tion.' These instructions ware formal. If they do not enter into all the details of what M. de Lesseps might do, they clearly point out what he was to avoid. To com plete them, the instructions addressed to our ministers at Gaeta were forwarded to M. de Lesseps on the fol lowing day. He knew, besides, that the Government was always resolved to have recourse to arms if the at tempts at arrangement should be without success. A telegraphic dispatch, addressed on the 10th of May to General Oudinot, was also communicated to M. de Les seps. This dispatch terminated as followsi--' Endea vour to enter Rome in accord with the inhabitants, or if youare forced to attack let it be with the most positive chances of success.' To endeavour to enter Rome with the eonsent of the inhabitants, without recogni▪ sing the Roman authorities, without inspiring uneasiness in the Court of Gaeta, and without bringing its rights in ques tion; to foresee the eventuality of an attack, and not to compromise the chances, such was the object of the mission of M. de Lesseps. No uncertainty can exist on this head; the terms of the instructions are formal. The discussion in the National Assembly of the 7th of May had nothing to invalidate them. Besides, M. de Lesseps not in any case avail himself of this di▪ scussion against the letter of his instructions, which is the sole basis of the examination into his conduct. The instruc tions of an agent of the Government can never be weakened, extended, or modified, by the aid of foreign circumstances, or of external comments which are no part of them. All the rules of hierarchy and responsi bility would be confounded if this principle were nut rigorously followed, and the Council of State would fail in its duty if it did not observe them with severity. How has M. de Lesseps conformed to his instructions? This is what the Council of State has sought to ascertain. The first act of M. de Lesseps, on his arrival at Rome on the 16th of May, was to pronounce in accord with Gen. Oudinot the suspension of ho s tiliti es . Ho cou ld not ne gotiate without giving a pledge of his pacific intentions. Our army, however, was impatient to obtain reparation for the surprise of the 30th of April. The season of fever was approaching and menaced our cantonments ; the Austrians were marching; the Neapolitan troops had crossed the frontier, and a Spanish expedition was announced. It was n ecessar y, t h ere f ore , t h a t th e sus pension of hostilities sh o uld no t ex t en d b e y on d t h e period necessary for the negotiation, and that it should cease as soon as a pacific solution could no longer be hoped for. It is not appar e nt th a t M. d e L esseps was sufficiently penetrated with this necessity. In fact, on the 19th of May, after a first attempt at arrangement, followed by a refusal on the part of the Triumvirs, M. de Lesseps and General Oudinot thought themselves authorised to sign a declaration of rupture. M. de Lesseps, instead of notifying it immediately, waited three days, and then, on his own responsibility, added a promise to notify the resumption of hostilities eight days beforehand. He thus substituted an indefinite de- . lay to a fixed term, and opened to the temporisations of the Romans a career they hastened to follow. It was only ten days after, on the 29th, that he lent himself to a new ultimatum; he thus lost in useless measures a time which was every day becoming mor e precious. In when on the 31st May he signed the treaty, which will be spoken of hereafter, he again consented to a last d . e , lay of a fortnight after the non-ratification. Thus, in stead of urging forward the solution, he deferred it; in stead of hastening the moment when our army should have freedom of action, he retarded it. He hoped to come to an arrangement, promises were made him which he believed, his confidence was excessive; there is no circumstance to cause suspicion of his intentions; but the event has proved that he neither formed a just opi nion of the state of affairs nor of the men with whom he had to treat. It is to the character and the nature of the negotiations themselves that the attention of the Council of State has been principally directed in its examination. On his arrival at Rome, when M. de Lesseps had fresh in his mind his instructions, the con versations which he had bad in France with the Minis ters, and the impressions of the sitting of the National Assembly of the 7th May, he showed himself, in form at least, faithful to his instructions. He soon struck against the shoals which he was ordered to avoid; the more his mission aas prolonged the more he appeared to forget his instructions; once departed from the line traced out for him, he every day removed himself more and more from it. One deviation led to another; all his pre-occupations were centered in Rome, and his thoughts were never turned either to the Government of which he was the agent, or on Gaeta, the negotiations with which he was to facilitate. We are authorised to con clude that it was not to bring back his instructions to their original object that he successively modified his conduct, and that it was at Rome itself that he was lee, away by influences which he was not able to resist. The examination of the Council of State proves that M. de Lesseps acted against his instructions in their principal points. 1. He did not confine himself to treat with the Roman authorities as the de facto power, but he lent himself to acts which gave them the moral force which he was ordered not to give them. 2. He put himself in formal opposition to M. d'Harcourt and M. de Rayne. val on the most fundamental questions, when his instruc • tions ordered him to concert with them on every serious point. In fine, he was only authorised to make partial ar rangements; the general and definitive solution of the af- fairi of Rome was not placed in his hands; he had only to concern himself with what related to the entry into Rome, and the special conventions necessary to secure that entry. He, however, took the whole question on him self, and in the arrangements, he made there is not ono which does not contain some stipulation foreign to the defined object of his mission. In the first, he proposed to maintain a Provisional Government, 'up to the moment when the Roman people called on to make known their wishes should declare themselves on the .orm of government which was to rule them, and on the guarantees to be made in favour of Catholicism and of the Papacy.' In the second, he inserted a clause stating that the Roman people have a right to declare them selves freely on the form of government. He added that the Roman authorities will act according to their legal attributions.' At a later period, he proposed to the Triumvirs to declare that, The French Re public guaranteed the territory occupied by our troops against any foreign invasion.' Some of these stipulations were in conformity to the idea of the French Government ; but others were directly opposed to them, and none of them came into the terms of a partial ar rangement for they all implied a general solution. The act by which M. de Lesseps has terminated his mission is the most reprehensible of all. In form, it was con cluded in direct violation of his instructions, not only without a previous concert established with MM. d'Har court and de Rayneval, but against their reiterated pro tests, against the express wish of General Oudinot, with whom M. de Lesseps was bound to keep up intimate and confidential relations. In matter this treaty, which reproduces the principal provisions of all the projects, and adds others, contains stipulations, the perusal of which would almost suffice to set forth its gravity. Art. 1 is thus worded:—' The support of France is assured to the Roman States. They consider the French army as a friendly army which comes to aid in the defence of their territory.' This article stipulates in express terms a defensive alliance. It places the forces of France at the disposal of the Romans. This engagement was entered into at the time when the troops of Austria, Spain, and Naples were only at some marches distant. Art. 2. In accord with the Roman Government, and without in any way mixing itself up in the administration of the country, the French army will take up exterior cantonments suited both for the defence of the country and for the health of the troops; the communications are free.' This article contains two distinct stipulations: 1, it recognises the Roman Republic, although not named, in recognising the Government which represents it, and which stipu lates for it, and in maintaining to it the administration of the country. This recognition was accorded when the French Government at Paris and Gaeta had pro nounced itself, in a sense directly contrary; it exposes its policy to the reproach of duplicity and treason. 2. It prevents the French from entering Rome, in reserving to it cantonments on the outside. The object of the mission tended to obtain that Rome should open with out combat its gates to France. M. de Lesseps was aware of that; the dispatch of May 10 could not leave any doubt on the subject. The entrance into Rome was for the Government, for the maintenance of French influence in Italy, for our military honour after the affair of April 30, a necessary condition, and which our Envoy could not give up in any case or on any pretext. Art. 3, The French Republic guarantees against all foreign invasion the territory occupied by its troops.' This declaration is puerile or insulting for our army, in stipulating that France will not allow herself to be expelled from the places which she occupies, or it involves the question of peace or war. M. de Lesseps could only give it this last signification, when he pro posed it for the first time in his letter of May 24 to the Triumvirs. He declared that he did not fear to compro mise his responsibility and future prospects.' On May 30 he used, in a letter to General Oudinot, a language which shows that in his ideas war could issue from that clause. Art. 4. 'lt is understood that the present ar rangement is to be submitted to the ratification of the French Republic.' Art. 5. In no case can the effects of the present arrangement cease until a fortnight after the official communication of the non ratification.' This delay, in adding to it the time necessary for the reply of the French Government, prolonged about a month the inactivity of our army. It was accorded at the moment when our army was about to be exposed to the heats of a burning summer, when Bologna was taken, Ancona menaced, and when the foreign inter tit ntion, of which M. de Lesseps was charged to prevent the development, could receive a new activity from the treaty on which the French Government was about to be called to pronounce. The Council of State cannot qualify too severely these conventions. Their smallest oetect is to have been signed by M. de Lesseps against his instructions, against the opposition of all those whose co-operation was imposed on him. Interrogated as to the motives which had induced him to conclude them, M. de Lesseps replied that his only object was to prevent General Oudinot from attacking Rome; that he wi s h e d to have time to learn the definitive resolutions of the French Government, which always had a right not to ratify. M. de Lesseps thinks too lightly of a signature brought by a represcritatiVe of France at the bottom of a trt aty. Without doubt, the Government has al waysthe right to refuse its ratification, but suchlih 4, a ra refusal ve is resolution which may be attended l% conse quences. The agent who signs a treaty, with the pro vision that the ratification will be refused, commits a in sf a t r u u l t c o r n ec the ° g ue o p f lic t i h tl e in y Go v a e d ro va m n e c n e t th d a o t n h o i t s au thorise him. Simply authorised to act with discretion, he places himself in opposition to the body from which he holds his mat.date ; he creates difficulties for the Government which he exposes to the reproach of weakness or timidity, if the convention calls forth dis content out of doors. Such, Monsieur le President, is the result of the examination of the Council of State. Two principal facts have been proved by this examina tion-1. The absolute opposition between the instruc tions of M. de Lesseps, and the application which he made of them. 2. The signature of a convention the stipulations of which were contrary to the interests of France and to her dignity. The Council of State ad mits that M. de Lesseps may, in extenuation, bring for. ward the difficulty of circumstances, the gravity of the question to be resolved, the devotedness which made him accept a mission for which he was not prepared and all the complications of which he had not leisure to study, and, finally, his good faith, which nothing in the affair has put in doubt. But in making this allowance for personal considerations, the Council of State would fail in its mission, if, in the name of the Government, of which it is the depository and guardian, it did not pro claim aloud the strict duty which is imposed upon all the servants of the State, to confine themselves to the powers with which they are invested, to obey scrupulously the instructions they receive, and the serious responsibility incurred by those who, representing France abroad, dare to engage her word against her known will, in arrange ments which may compromise her honour and the peace of the world.

At about a quarter past eight o'clock on Thursday morning, as the early train from Philadelphia to this city had reached Clarksville, about two miles the other side of Princeton, a terrible accident occurred, which has ere this carried mourning into many fa milies. The spot, facts wereas near these earas :tArrt theepo la r p ter o c e er o w ul h dl e earn them on the the accident occurred there is a turn-out, leading to the bank of the Delaware and Raritan Canal. For the turn-out available, there is, of u r u s r e s e f when turned in the proper direction will not interfere with the direct progress of purpose a switch,ma king w h h is ic th, the cars, but which, when occasion requires, will lead the car or cars off the direct track and conduct them of necessity to the brink of the canal. To guard this switch, and to prevent accidents, the company employ a man, who, with his family, live near the spot, and whose sole business is to see that the switch is kept in a proper direction. As the cars were passing this spot yesterday morning the engineer perceived, when too late to avoid the accident, that the switch was turned the wrong way, and that the cars were fast making their way for the canal. The engine was im mediately reversed, but the impetus was too great —the speed being some thirty miles per hour—to prevent disaster. Shocking to relate, the engine plunged headlong into the canal, dragging after it the platform car, on which were the freight and baggage crates. A tremendous concussion ensued, and the first and second passenger cars came in violent contact. To use the expression of a wit ness to the terrific scene, they were dovetailed toge ther. The scene of horror that ensued may be imagined, but cannot be definitely described. Both cars were filled with passengers, and the bodies of those passengers, of course, interposed between the cracking and breaking parts of the cars. The engineer leaped from his perilous position and escaped unhurt; the forward breakman remained at his post until the very last moment, when seeing that he could do nothing to avert the catastrophe, he also leaped o, and was injured but slightly. off, and the concussion had taken place, and the passengers had time to recover their breath, their ears were assailed by the most piteous cries of distress and implored aid. The conductors of the train and the passengers im mediately set about the work of release and rescue, when a shocking picture presented itself to their view. Here a mangled corpse, there a wounded and writhing man, and again a helpless woman, shrieking with agony and covered with blood, met their view. The work of destruction having had its sway the work of mercy commenced, and in a com paratively short time all the surviving victims of this unfortunate accident were released from their position in the cars, and removed to places where their wants might be attended to and their wounds properly dressed. On casting about it was found that Mr. William Conover, of Trenton, superintendent of repairs on the canal, was killed, as was also an un known man, apparently an Irishman, who had taken passage in the second class cars. These are the only two persons who were ascertained to have been killed outright. There was a rumour of an infant having been crushed, but our reporter could not follow the rumour to what seemed to him fact. It is believed by many that the switch was turned the wrong way by some evil-disposed person, as the wife of the man whose office it is to attend to it states posi tively that she saw the switch at five o'clock in the morning, and that at that time it was turned in the right direction. But as the matter will no doubt be fully and fairly investigated, we will say nothing about the rumours. Several rumours in the form of letters and cards have reached us, but as the facts which we give are from the personal ob servations of our reporter, and from the information given to him by eye-witnesses on the ground at the time, we shall not give them. An incident occurred at the time of the accident, which is now told to every one who listens to the story of the lamentable affair at Princeton. It is as follows :—As the cars approached the canal, and when the catastrophe was beyond all doubt unavoidable, a mother, who had been seen fondling a beautiful infant, darted from her seat, and in an instant had tossed the smiling cherub clear from the cars upon the grass which grew at the road side. A thrill of terror, for the moment, seized the few spectators who witnessed the act of the mother, fearing that she might have frantically destroyed the life of her child—but it was otherwise. The child landed upon the grass and was unhurt, while the mother was considerably injured, though not fatally. The chances are, however, that had she re tained her hold upon the infant, it would have been killed.—New York Herald, August 4. TAX ASSESSORS and COLLECTORS Taking these individuals as a body, they are an uneducated, pompous, overbearing set of officials, who, " dressed in a little brief authority," entirely forget that their position with regard to the public is servile instead of authoritative. Their ignorance renders them totally unfit to be invested with the slightest power which they are of course at all seeming oppor tunities most anxious to display, and to which they add insolence. It is the manner in which people are treated by these Jacks in Office that renders taxation so detestable in the eyes of the public. Govern ment should be more careful to select these officers from the ranks of gentlemen who from misfortune may be reduced so as to be glad of the post, and would never forget that natural bearing, which, moving in good society, and education, makes a second nature. The public manner in which the 1 income tax is collected i s s h ame f u l,: and entirely annihilates that feeling of independence which should inhabit the breast of an Englishman. When this tax was instituted the public were assured it would be an inviolable secret as to each other's affairs. How is it ? In the first place, from the class of people who are entrusted with the assessing and collecting, secresy is absurd—they are too pregnant with the imaginary importance of their knowledge to ab stain from tattling, and the consequence is that people's affairs are now as public as they were wont to be private. Papers with the amount are sent to estab lishments, not in an envelope, but open for the in spection of any one about the place ; and the collec tors not unfrequently stalk into a gentleman's office, no matter who may be present, and ask aloud for the amount due for income-tax. The appeals, too, are quite public. How many people who have actually sustained heavy losses are compelled to pay an income tax to avoid exposure, or the inquisitorial curiosity of a collector or assessor ? These parties, from pique or a desire to pry into a gentleman's affairs, may surcharge, which is at once accusing the person with perjury; for a form has to be signed declaring the return to be correct. This is far from what ought to be or what is intended. If a man has suffered losses, or his profits on a large business are small, why should he be compelled to submit to interrogations, and give explanations to a set of public menials ? Where is the utility of his filling up a declaration if the belief of his statement is optional ? Every receipt for this tax should also embody a printed pledge of secresy, to be signed by the collector who, we repeat, I should be a gentleman.—Sheffield Times. BEARIIAVEII (CASTLETOWN), AUG. 24.—The hull of a timber-laden vessel, bottom up, the keel measuring sixty-four feet, was towed into this harbour yesterday afternoon. ANGLING IN THE NORTH.--liis Grace the Duke of Sutherland, our sporting readers will be aware, closed the fishing of his rivers in Sutherlandshire last year in May, in order to try the effect upon the produce in the following season. The result bus been a very great in crease in the numbers of salmon and grilse this year, and since the Lammas rains, the pools in the Shin river, in particular, are teeming with fish. This ought to encourage the owners in other rivers to imitate occa. sionally his Grace of Sutherland's example.—Perth Courier. Her Majesty may be expected to return to Osborne-house from Scotland about the 20th of Sep tember. Lord John Russell will remain at Balmoral for a fortnight. Sir George Grey will remain at his seat, Falloden, until his return to Scotland, whence he will probably accompany her Majesty on her homeward journey. Her Majesty and suite will return by land to London, travelling as last year, by the Caledonian Rail way.—Observer. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1849 EXECUTION OF REBECCA SMITH. (From the Devizes Gazette.) The execution of Rebecca Smith, for murdering her infant child, took place yesterday forenoon, in front of the new prison, Devizes. It is impossible to give anything like a correct ce.lcula tion of the number of persons present to witness the awful scene—they were countless. From nine uniil eleven o'clock people poured into the town in shoals— on foot, in waggons, in boats; and by the latter hour, the prison-yard, the banks of the canal, every tree. hedge, and field that could command a view of the drop appeared crammed. Still the roads were lined with per sons thronging to the spot. People were there from every part of the county—old, young, and infants; but they were chiefly of the labouring classes, and there were thousands more of wom en t h an o f men. From the period the miserable woman entered the prison to the moment of her execution her conduct was most becoming. Mild and contented in her manner and deportment, it might be thought that sho was totally incapable of the unnatural crime of which she was convicted. Free from guile or hy pocrisy, she at once unl - ,?sitatingly confessed her crime, and acknowledged the justice of the punishment that awaited her, and frequently exp resse d a h ope t h at others would take a warning by her fate. At the same time she was extremely ignorant, and betrayed a want of any deep feeling. She could read but imperfectly, and what she did read she was scarcely able to understand. The pious and excellent chaplain had been unceasing in his endeavours to awaken in her the true spirit of penitence and prayer; but, as may be suppo se d, h e h a d a d iffi cult and a laborious task. Suspended between hope and fear, she would at times rely on the un b oun d ed mercies of her Saviour, and at times exclaim that her sins were too great to be forgiven. For se vera l d ays pr i or to her exe cution her mind appeared to be so entirely occupied with the thoughts of her fate in the world t o come as to destroy all feeling regarding the miserable end that at tended her in the present world. The ma nner i n w hi c h she was to quit this life did not appear to trouble her. It was the dread of the hereafter, and if it be possible to judge of the human heart from outward observances, it may be said that she was at length brought to a proper sense of her awful situation, and was truly penitent. Oa Tuesday last her husband and daughter, accom panied by her brother. and sister, anti some other members of her family, were admitted, for the last time, to see her. Strange to say, there was such a total absence of feeling on the part of the husband, as to induce some remark to be mad e on hi s con d uct, b ut without any good impression. 'rhea sister, on the other hand, was deeply affected, as was her brother—both of them wept bitterly. As ithe time approached for her execution she appeared to feel more deeply her dreadful situation, and she passed rather a restless night ; but she afterwards recovered her wonted calmness, and ate tt modeaate breakfast in the morning. Shortly before twelve the solemn tolling of the prison bell announced that she had but a few minutes more to live, and she was ushered from her cell. Accompanied by the proper authorities, she was at once conducted to the gallows, the Re ve r en d Ch ap l a i n i mpress i vely reading portions of the burial service as the procession proceeded. During this time she did not utter a word, nor did a sigh escape her, but her countenance appeared quite composed and her step firm. Arrived en the drop, the rope was in a moment round her neck ; she clasped and raised her hands together, as if in fervent prayer, and after a slight struggle she was launched into eternity. The orderly manner in which the whole proceedings were conducted reflect much credit upon the prison authorities. She was about 44 years of age, had been married 18 years, and had eleven children—the eldest only, a daughter, is now alive; the second, a boy, died of a bowel complaint at the age of fourteen weeks; all the rest, with the exception of the last but one, the unhappy woman acknowledged that she poisoned a day or two after their birth. She was extremely ill herself when this child was born, and it was in consequence taken to a neighbour. It died a fortnight after, but she never even saw it after it was taken from her. Seven of her children she destroyed by administering to them a poison she called " blue," used for destroying rats and mic-, and which she said she took from the ricks, where it ' had been placed for that purpose. The last child she poisoned with arsenic, and in each case she put the poison in the child' s m o uth with her finger. Sheim plicated no other person in the crime; she, and she alone, did it, and no one else knew anything about it. From the first week of her marriage down to the last which she lived with her husband, ho had been given to drunk enness; and it was that, she said, drove her to her crimes. He scarcely ever brought home a shilling of his wages. She herself toiled hard in the field during the day,a the eh and ahtounsighotlsdhewcoar. With nothing, then, to washed,homeand and did to maintain the family but what she herself earned, which was four shillings a week, and that only when she could procure work in the fields, the fear that the children would come to want operated so powerfully upon her, that she destroyed them in the way stated. Her father and mother lived at Bratton, and attended the Baptist chapel at that place, her mother being a member. They were much opposed to the marriage ; and, knowing the husband's habits of drunkenness, they frequently endeavoured to persuade her to leave him and again come to their home. As was stated last week, on the death of her father, she came into possession of 1001.; and about this time she and her husband went to live at Westbury, and rented ten acres of land ; but the money was soon dissipated ; and there is no doubt the woman has undergone many and severe privations. Two women were constantly with her night and day, from the time of her condemnation to her execution ; and she frequently expressed her gratitude for the atten tion paid her by the chaplain and by the governor of the prison, and Mrs. Haywood ; the kindness of the latter towards her was unbounded. This is the fourth person that has been executed in front of the prison since its erection in 1810 :—viz., Goodman and Amor, on the 20th of April, 1824, for robbing and assaulting Mr. Thomas Alexander, of All cannings, on the highway ; and George Maslen, on the 6th of September, 1838, for maliciously shooting at Mr. Bryan Rumbold. AN AWKWARD Fix.—On Friday afternoon a van, laden with furniture, belonging to a p erson name d Tho mas, a greengrocer, residing in the Edgeware-road, was proceeding over the bridge of the Paddington canal, when an extraordinary circumstance occurred. The bridge, it will be remembered, is near the New Lock Hospital, where there is a considerable declivity. Nei ther of the wheels of the waggon was " skidded," so that in the descent there was a tremendous pressure on the haunches of the wheel horse. He was forced forwards on the leader, which took fright, and drew the waggon to the side of the road. The leader leaped a fence, about three feet high, into a paddock, belonging to Mr. White, and the wheel horse followed the example, but was caught by his hind legs, and the poor animal was fixed in dread ful agony until a saw was procured, and it was liberated. The leader was unhurt. CORONER'S INQUEST.--INFANT KILLED BY LAU DINUM.—On Friday Mr. H. M. Wakley held an inquest at the Sugar Loaf, King-street, Drury lane, on the body of Alice Caroline Mills, an infant, about a month old, who came by her death under the following melancholy circumstances :—Frederick Mills, a herald painter, father of deceased, deposed that he and his wife were going to the Victoria Theatre on M on d ayeven i ng last, and,being obliged to take their baby, they thought it would be ad visable to give it some laudanum, so that it should re main quiet during th e p er f ormances. The quantity given was not more than one drop, and that was put into the infant's mouth with some brown sugar. Whilst pro ceeding along the Waterloo-road they thought the child looked unusually ill, and, having partaken of some beer, the landlady also noticing the baby's appearance, they took it into a doctor's shop, where the surgeon said to witness, " You must go home, and put it in a warm bath directly." He and his wife immediately took a cab and went home, and did as they were desired by the medical gentleman; but the bath did not seem to do the infant any good; witness therefore went to another surgeon, who gave him an emetic to give the baby. The medicine did not unfortunately operate, and the child died, after a troublesome night, on Tuesday morning, about seven o'clock. Dr. Bennett, parish surgeon of St. Giles's, de posed that he had made a post mw tem examination, and deceased died of congestion of the brain, which was no doubt caused by the administration of opium. The jury, after consulting for some time, returned a verdict o! " Died from the effect of laudanum, given for the purpose of making the child sleep, and not otherwise." THE ADMIRALTY PACKET SERVICE AT HOLY HEAD.--We have reason to believe that the Admiralty packet service between Holyhead and Kiugstown, to• gether with the establishment for repairs, &c., at Holy head, will very shortly Ibo transferred to the London, Holyhead, and Dublin Steam Packet Company, that company entering into a contract fur the conveyance of the mails, and purchasing from the Admi ralty two of their boats. At present the loss is very great to both parties,—in fact, th e Admiralty do n o t k now t h e en d o f their expense, as the repair of the packets and the cost of conducting the ser vice, in spite of the attempts to keep them separate and distinct, must, in some degree, be mixed up with the ac counts and expenses of the regular royal naval service. In such a limited sphere of operations as between Holy head and Kingstown, it will, doubtless, be to the advan tage of the country that the service should be performed by a private company, provided that they are responsible men, and the Admiralty have sufficient guarantees of their solvency and their ability to carry out any con. tract they may execute. But we must say that it would be preferable t o d ea l w i t h part i es t o t a lly independent of a railway which, from the extent of its capital and the stupendous nature of its works, has no prospect of success fo r a quarter o f a cen tury. W e b e• lieve the two boats to be reserved by the Admiralty will be the Banshee and the Llewellyn, which vessels, it is likely, will b e sent to t h e M e dit e r ranean f or the lonian packet service.—United . s ervice Gazette. FATAL ACCIDENT.--011 Friday morning, at eight o'clock, a fatal accident occurred at Copenhagen-fields, on the spot where the East and West India Dock Rail way crosses the Great Northern Railway by a temporary bridge. Whil e th e wor k men o f M r . J a y, th e contractor for the l a tt er esta b l i shment i n t h at l oca li ty , were em ployed in placing some additional support under the bridge, the driv er o f a l oa d e d wagg on approa c h e d t h e bridge; and, although warned not to attempt to pass over it until the necessary props should be placed to make all secure, persisted in his course, and drove on to the centre of the bridge. The consequence was the bridge gave way, the waggon and horses fell into the works of the Great Northern Railway, a depth of 30 feet, and one of Mr. Jay's workmen and two horses were killed upon the spot. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF JEWELS.—O n Friday morning O s b orne House, Grand Parade, Brighton, was entered and plund ere d o f a rosew ood dressing - case con taming jewels valued at 8004 the thieves getting clear away with their booty.

THE " SATIRIST" NEWSPAPER.—Martin Hansell, a respectable looking young man, described as an attorney, and who was the proprietor and editor of the Satirist, surrendered on Saturday to take his trial on the charge of harbouring a female named Sarah Mills, who had endeavoured to extort 101. from Mr. Bevan, a gentleman of property, residing at No. 4, Hamilton-place, Picca dilly, and at Hamburgh House, Twickenham, she having thereby committed felony. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Huddlestone appeared for the prosecution, which was instituted by Mr. Bevan; and Mr. Parry and Mr. Thompson for the prisoner. The facts, as stated by M r . BALLANTINE, will, no doubt, be fresh in the recollection of our readers. Some time ago Mr. Bevan received several letters from the woman Mills, who is undergoing six months' imprison. ment with hard labour, for her part of the transaction, demanding money with menaces. She threatened, un less he complied with her request, to apply to Mrs. Bevan, and to expose him in a " Satirical" paper, hint ing that his visits to two married ladies at Hanover-gate and Westbourne Park were well known to her. Mr. Bevan refused to comply with her threats ; and at length she went further, and wrote to Mr. Bevan, to say, as he had treated her letters with contempt, she would be glad to know if he would like to stand in the po s ition of a defendant to an action f or erica. con., and saying that she should publish his amours in the Satirist, and send copies to Mrs. Bevan, his partners (erroneously believing that he was a partner in the banking-house of Barclay, Bevan, and Co.), and to his private friends. At the time several invidious notices to correspon • dents, pointedly alluding to " Old B---, the rich banker," appeared in the Satirist. Feeling much annoyed at these matters, his solicitors, Messrs. Finmore and Co., opened communications with Miss Mills and the prisoner, with the view, as it was admitted by Mr. Finmore in his examination, to suppress the threatened publication, and to obtain possession of the documents, for which, he also admitted, money would most likely have been paid by his client. It was alleged that the prisoner and Miss Mills were acting in conjunction. Mr. PARRY addressed the jury on behalf of the pri soner. Mr. Justice ERLE left the whole case to the jury, who returned a verdict of Not Guilty. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 26.—This day being his Royal Highness Prince Albert's birth-day, all the ships were dressed in colours at an early hour, and at one o'clock royal salutes were fired in honour of the auspicious day. ' l ; 6 The Lords of the Ad m i ra l ty are expected here to t3o morrow evening, on their annual official visit, and the • First Lord will hold a levee on Wednesday. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, arrived here from Greenock yesterday. A Sunday paper states that " There is no truth in the rumour of the framework of the engines of this fine ship having given way;" and continues, " still more absurd is the statement that any reduction is to take place in the complement of her officers and men." We hope the latter sentence is founded on better in formation than the former. The Growler steam-sloop, Commander Stoddart, arrived off Gibraltar on thq 13th inst., en route to Mecca, with the young Princes of Morocco on board. The Pantaloon, 8, Commander Hyde Parker, was off Oporto on the 11th inst., and proceeded southwards. The Pallas, 50, Russian frigate, Commodore Nordinan, weighed at half -past four this afternoon from Spithead, and fired . a royal salute in most enviable style for the second time to-day, having been " dressed' all the % morning, and saluted with the others at one o'clock in ; honour of Prince Albert's birthday. She also saluted, 7,5, when under weigh, the P or t Ad m i ra l , whose ship (the )% ' 2 Victory, 104 ,Captain Bl ac k woo d) i nstantly acknow . ledged the compliment. She worked out admirably 44 under topsails, and has sailed for Madeira. A murderous onslaught was made on Friday night at )34 Hardway, near Gosport, by a baud of cutthroats whose smuggling transactions have latterly been prevented by the vigilance of the Coast Guard officers. Their vie : tims were the brothers Mountfield, Coast Guard men, Gd who latterly made a capture of a " run" made by one of the party. These young men are lying in a highly is dangerous state from the wounds and bruises they re ,34 ceived from their ruffianly assailants, who numbered a iee party of between tw e nty a n d thirty. One of them, however, we hear, was shot with a pistol by one of the Coast Guard in pursuit. PLYMOUTH, AUG. 24.—Her Majesty's steam-vessel Vesuvius sailed yesterday with seamen and riggers for sa Glasgow, to navigate to Woolwich th e new i ron steamer Greenock. Her Majesty's frigate Alarm was commissioned on Thursday. 2a Her Majesty's brig Hound was paid off on Tuesday. The reserve steam-vessel sare ordered to get up steam daily to try their engines. Her Majesty's ship Royal Adelaide having been caulked and new coppered was taken out of deck on Tuesday. Mr. Pemberthy, clerk in the Dockyard, died at his residence in Chapel -street yesterday. Mr. Herbert yacht Faun, on his passage from France, spoke on the 22d inst., 12 miles south of the Start, the merchant barque Queen, of Hull, from London for Quebec. Plymouth Regatta is fixed for Tuesday, the 28th, and Wednesday, the 29th of August inst. WOOLWICH, Ana. 25.—Rear-Admiral J. W. D. Dundas, C. 8., and Captain Lord John Hay, C. 8., Lords of the Admiralty; Captain Ellice, Comptroller of Ste ur k Machinery ; Lieutenant-Colonel Irving, C. 8., Director of Engineering Works; and Mr. Lloyd, Chief Engineer at the Admiralty, arrived at Woolwich Dockyard at one o'clock P.M. to-day, and their Lordships were received by Commodore Henry Eden, Lieutenant Gore, Flag-Lieu tenant; Mr. Petley, Master-Commander :of the Light ning steam-vessel; Mr. Lang, Master Shipwright ; Mr. Gottlieb, Storekeeper; Mr. Humphries, Chief Engineer; Mr. Chatfield and Mr. Peake, Assistants to the Master- Shipwright; Mr. Trickett, Assistant to the Chief En gineer; and Mr. Bernays, Clerk of the Works. Their Lordships immediately proceeded to visit the Minx iron steam-vessel, fitted with high-pressure engines of 10 horse-power ; and Mr. Humphries submitted to them a drawing of the plan proposed by Mr. Seaward, for fitting the screw-propeller astern of the rudder, which is to be tried on the Minx. Their Lordships then proceeded to the west-end of the yard to ascertain the best situstion for the erection of a new shed to receive the engines of 800 horse-power ordered to be taken out of the Retribution steam-frigate, that others of 400 horse-power may be substituted. Mr. Bernays, Clerk of the Works, submitted a plan and estimate of a shed, which could be substantially constructed, to serve for various purposes, and be econemically effected by making the back of a shed available, as a part which has been already built, in which the gear of the Firebrand, Pro metheus, Hermes, Styx, Grappler, and African, is at present deposited, the works of each of these vessels being kept separate in stalls running across the building, and accessible to be put on board the respective vessels. The space where the new shed is contemplated to be built is at present used for breaking up old boilers, and the funnels of steam-vessels, but there will still be ample room for that purpose on the north side of the sheds, and immediately adjoining the shears employed in taking them out o , the vessels. Their Lordships then went on board the Retribution, at present in the river under the shears, having her coals and all her stores taken out preparatory to being taken into the basin. They also went on board the Archer in the basin, at present taking on board a large quantity of iron ballast preparatory to being tried down the river, and, on leaving her, went on board the Niger, in the inner basin, where a series of exp,rixnents aro being made in her to test the economy of fuel in giving a certain van tity of vapour in the boilers of that vessel to be compared with the plan adopted in the Basilisk. From the Niger they proceeded to the factory, where they witnessed the screw-propeller, 5 feet in diameter, and weighing 2 cwt. 3 qrs. 10 lb., made for the purpose of being tried in the itelinx, steam-vessel; and then examined the excellent arrangements made by Commodore _Henry Eden, at the west end of the yard, fur keeping all the stores, both good and waste, in the beat order, and accessible at a moment's notice, and the quantities ascertained without any trouble or turning over as used to be the case. Captain Ellice and Mr. Lloyd went on board the Desperate steam-vessel, in King William IV. Deck, to witness the progress made in fitting her engines Ey Messrs. Mandalay, Sons, and Field, and their Lordships, after inspecting Mr. Hum' phries' (the chief engineer) department, proceeded to the landing steps, and went on board the Vulcan steam troop-ship, lying at moorings in the river. After 9 0 inspection which occupied nearly four hours, their Lord' ships entered the residence of the Comtuodore•Superin tendant, and dined in the evening with that Gallant Officer. Lieutenant. Colonel Irving, director of engi' mering works, proceeded, on leaving the yard with Mr. Bernays, Clerk of the Works, to the Royal Marine Barracks, and was accompanied by the Rev. J. C. Con nolly, who has expressed a great d es i re to have h u ts erected for the accommodation of the married men and their families. Grand Junction •• •• 41. per cnt. Kent•• .• •• •• •• •• 31. 10s.

From 1689 to 1699, a few years after the revocation, they were reduced to 4,000. In 1750, under a more tolerant regime, the number in• creased to 12,000. From 1780 to 1788 it was 18,000. The revolution brought down the number to 3,500, and under the Empire the number was 12,000. The re establishment of peace brought the number to 27,000 in 1827, 40,000 in 1835, and 50,000 in 1844. Since then the number has kept up', notwithstanding the late revo lution, with this difference, that the town of Lyons has lost a little, whilst the country districts have gained. Independently of the circle of Lyons, there may be reckoned at Nismes, Avignon, Parts, in Picardy, Lor raine, and Flanders about 20,000 looms for silk stuffs and silk lace, 15,000 for various other kinds of silks, and 20,000 for ribands, giving a total of upwards of 160,000 looms. Estimatinc , at thirty kilogrammes the silk per annum for each loom, and at 3.000 f. the average ob tained from its produce, we shall have an approximative sum of 300 millions for the silk manufacture in France, one-half of which is disposed of abroad, and the rest at home. CHOLERA IN SPITALYIELDS AND BETHNAL-GREEN. —ln consequence of the fearful progress made by the cholera in these localities, a few of the weavers have ad dressed a memorial to. Sir George Grey, praying for an immediate inquiry into their case, and beseeching him to give orders to the parochial authorities to put in force the order of the General Board of Health issued in Fe bruary last to the boards of guardians. On Saturday an answer was received, which states that the Home Se cretary has forwarded the communication to the General Board of Health, with instructions that its prayer be taken into immediate consideration. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 24. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAN and aSpecial Jury.) HATTERSLEY V. EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an issue out of the Court of Chancery, sent down for trial by the direction of Vice• Chancellor Wigram, in order that the opinion of a jury might be taken as to whether the defendants bad wrongfully and to the damage of the plaintiff prevented the, plaintiff from completing a contract which had been entered into between them, by employing their own workmen to complete the same. Sir Frederick Thesiger (who came down specially), Mr. Hoggins, and Mr. Sugar, appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Martin, Q.C., Mr. Crompton, and Mr. Monk for the defendants. It appeared from the opening of the Learned Counsel for the plaintiff, that in the year 1846, the plaintiff, together with another person, since deceased, contracted with the defendants to execute a portion of the East Lancashire Railway, between Upton and Colne, which extended nearly nine miles. In the contract which was made and signed by both parties was a grinding clause, under which it was agreed that if the plaintiff did not carry out the terms of the contract the company should be at liberty to give seven days' notice to the plaintiff that they would take possession of the railway, finish the works, take,possession of the plant which the plaintiff might have upon the line, and that the plaintiff should have no further claim upon the corn • puny for the works which should bare been completed, than the money which should have been paid—in fact, that the plaintiff should forfeit any money which might be due for works then in progress. The company had not given the plaintiff possession of the land to commence the viaduct near Burnley in due time, which had caused great delay. And they had likewise altered the plans which had originally been laid down, especially that relating to the width of the span of the arches of the Burnley viaduct, and they had altered the plan more than once; divers other alterations had been made, which had caused a great additional expense, and in fact the defendants, according to the plaintiff's account, were indebted to him in 50,000/., but according to the de fendants' statement he owed them 9,000/. Amongst other things, the plaintiff contracted to keep the line iu repair for a twelvemonth after it was opened. The line was inspected by the Government Inspector in February in the present year, and shortly after opened for traffic. On the 2d of March the plaintiff pressed the defendants for payment, and on the 9th, without giving the plaintiff any notice that the way had not been p roper l y ma i ntained, the defendants, considering that it was not properly maintained, gave the plaintiff seven ,days' notice that they intended to take possession of the line and plant. This they accordingly proceeded to do, and thenceforth prevented the plaintiff not only from proceeding with the works which remaiwci to be executed, but refused to pay for part of the works which had lately been finished, the value of which was said by the plaintiff to be 50,0001. At the conclusion of the Learned Counsel's address a consultation took place between the attorneys and counsel of both sides, and it was at length agreed that all pro ceedings in Chancery should be stayed, and that all matters in dispute should be referred. Aug. 25. The Court was occupied all day in the case of Sellers v. Dickenson, which was an action relating to the in• fringetnent of a patent loom for weaving, and which was of interest only to the parties concerned. THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
