FRANCE. The SiLle has the following just observations on I the conduct or th: - .e who endeavour to prevent the con &Aida ti o : ltpu;iiir, in order to bring about a monarchical restoration, 1 .-ar— " Now, Of what colour Is rour r-storation? Is it an 18th Brumaire that you want? Is it a legitimate or quasi-Legitimate monarchy? Suppo-e 18tH Bru maire. We have already said that there is wanting to the Empire only a man--the Emperor. A legitimate monarchy? The Duke de Bordeaux has a principle in his favour, we allow, and a principle too which for ages has sustained the throne of his fathers ; but what ap pearance can the principle of legitimacy make in our days? How many days will you be in a humour to support the white flag aVntlemen of the Cha,nber. and proces sions? The Gazette de France and the committee of the Rue Duphot, it is true, tell you that there will be great improvements in all that. We tell you that if Henry V. changes a word in his programme, he has no longer a party, he is nothing but an ordinary exile, without grandeur and without power. His glory is to deny no thing, to die what he is, the last of the Bourbons, the last of the Kings of divine right, carrying with him to the tomb the principle of which he is the supreme incar nation. Lastly, a quasi-Legitimate restoration. Most cer tainly, we do not wish to speak of Madame d'Orleans but with the greatest respect; her name calls to mind high cou rage, great intelligence, rare virtues, and touching,reminis cences. But when have you ever seen a revolution finish with a regency, and in what way will you act to support the reign of a woman and a child? One word more. Whilst you are shooting each other, Imperialists, Legi timists, and Orleanists, over the dead bodies of the Re publicans, what do you suppose the Socialists will do? In their turn they will effect a February 24—a February 24 without Lamartine and Ledru-Rollin, as the Peuple has promised with such naiveté not long since. There fore, return to your senses; let mischief-makers be in agitation, and imagine that the sterile movement which they exhibit is a proof of cleverness and political conduct. But, on your side, follow the spirit of the times. Endeavour to resolve pacifically and regularly the great problem which Providence places before you — the problem of the democratic organization of French society. Judge with resolution the state of that society; do not deceive yourselves as to the virtues of the past. If the remnants of that past are in the dust, it is because they were fated to perish. Life is not in thevaults where the dry bones of kings moulder away neglected, but in the definite constitution of that democracy, the stormy infancy of which will pass away, but of which the ele ments will remain to furnish forth the new aliment of life to France itself."

The following is the last army bulletin : "According to a telegraphic dispatch which we have just received, the fortress of Leopoldstadt surrendered at discretion yesterday, the 2d instant, at nine o'clock in the morning, after having been bombarded for an hour. Field-Marshal Lieutenant Simunich will without delay advance in two columns by way of Gross Topolesan, Neutra, and Verebely to occupy the mining towns (Schemnitz and Kremnitz), as Major-General Gotz, to gether with the Brigade Jablonowsky, after the occupa tion of Nensohl, closely pursued the routed rebel hordes under Georgy, as also the small bodies of insurgents collected by Ballogh, near Assenberg. " We have just received the following report from Field-Marshal Lieutenant Dahlen, dated Agram, Fe bruary 1, 1849 :—' I have just had the news that Major- General Baron Trebersburg, on the 30th January, at five vas., attacked the suburbs of the fortress Essegg, and took them by storm. At six o'clock our victorious troops had got possession of the three suburbs. We captured 100 of the rebels in their attempt to retreat into the fortrest; among them were several cavalry officers. The commanders of the storming columns were—Colonel van der Null, of Gradiska Regiment; Colonel Halavanya, of Brood Regiment; Major Dragich, of Peterwardein Regiment; Capt. Tarbuck, of St. George Regiment (these are four of the redoubted military frontier or Croat regi ments); and Capt.Barissich of the Imperial regiment Arch duke Leopold. At six o'clock the lower town was bom barded from the fortress during an hour. General Tre barsburg then sent an officer with a flag of truce to summon the commander of the fortress to surrender.' " The Brigades Palffy and Dietrich, belonging to the Corps of the General of the Ordnance, Count Nugent, occupied Fiintkirchen without any resistance being offered, as has already been made known. Count Nu gent has dispatched troops from the last•meutioned town in pursuit of the rebels under Neureygei, who have fled towards Essegg, and has also sent a detachment to oc cupy Mohacs, there to effect a union with the Servians operating on the left bank of the Danube. " Field-Marshal Lieutenant W ELDEN, Civil and Military Governor. " Vienna, Feb. 3. 1849." ITALY. Letters from Rome of the 31st ult. announce that the Roman Government has sent a new capitulation to the Swiss for acceptance, in virtue of which they will be in the service of the Roman States, and not in that of the absent sovereign. The two Spanish ves sels that had arrived at Gaeta have no troops on board, as had been stated. The other five vessels still keep the open sea. The Risorgimento of Turin,of the 4th, states that as Count Plessa, the Piedmotese Minister, had not b een admitted to an audience of the King of Naples, Charles Albert has ordered to Count L udolf, Neapolitan passports to be delivered Ambassador at Turin.

Death to the students!" The movement was evi dently encouraged by the Governor. The students, offended at the hostile feeling evinced towards them, have determined to leave Siena, and continue their studies at Pisa. The Alba of Florence, of the 2d, publishes the sen tence of the military tribunal at Ro me, in the affair of the attempt of the 19th.

The refined market dull.—Bristol Mercury. GAS : REDUCTIONS IX TUB PRICE, &C. In con sequence of past reductions at Doncaster, the consump tion has so much increased that the Company have de clared their intention on that special ground, to repeat the experiment, by a further reduction to 4s. 7d. per 1,000 cubic feet. The Cambridge shareholders appear to have now as hopeful a prospect before their eyes in deter mining to carry out the like principle. They have just announced a reduction from 7s to 65., and the chairman also stated " that the committee of management had reason to hope that ultimately no town in the kingdom, of comparative size and population, would be lighted laN gas at a less expense than Cambridge." At Fareham, on the contrary, the company have the stupidity to refuse to reduce their price to 7s. 6d. It is proposed to light the shire hall at Chelmsford from gas jets outside the windows, a principle which we learn has been adopted in other court houses with excellent effect, both in bril liancy and co m fort.--"A petition to the Commons is in Birmingham, according to the Jou rna l, progress at praying them to enact that all gas meters shall be pro perly proved and inspected, as measures generally are, and that the irresponsibility of companies, or of those by whom meters are supplied, as well as the liability of incorrectly,be thus or otherwise teeters to register . cholfield, M.P. is to intro properly checked.

TEA.—The lower kinds of Congou are held for former rates, and clean is not to be purchased under Bd, but only a moderate amount of busines has been concluded this week. For better sorts a good sale was experienced: medium qualities realised 10d to Is 2d, and good to tine Is 3d to is 10d. Fine Souchong sells more readily at 2s to 2s 9d; in the lower sorts not much has been passing. There is a brisker sale for flowery Pekoe, and better rates are paid. In consequencelof a slight reduction having been acceded to for Scented Orange Pekoe, several parcels were disposed of at is 2d to is 8d for good to fine. Other Teas are held with firmness, and low Twankay is wanted by exporters at 6d to 6id. RICE.—To-day a good sale was experienced for East India Rice.

Dr. Morgan has just completed the 80th year of his age, was fully vindicated. The magistrate, therefore, dis missed the complaint. The plaintiff then brought an action against the defendant for the injury sustained, which action was tried some time ago, when the jury found a verdict in his favour for 40s. damages. The plaintiff having subsequently obtained a rule for a new trial, that verdict was set aside and the present trial was the result. The defence on this occasion was one of justification. The jury retired for some time to consult together. and then returned a verdict fur the plaintiff—Damages, 100/. 123 .20U LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS COURT, Feb 10. WHARTON W. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COXPANY...— INJUNCTION. This was an application by the plaintiff, the inventor of a medium for drawing by means of straps or bands formed of wire, passed through leather or through gutta percha, or through leather and gutta percha in combina tion, such wires not being in communication, but sepa rated by means of seams of gutta percha, for the protec tion of his invention, which had been applied by the Electric Telegraph Company to cover or enclose their detached wires of electric communication upon the North-Western line of railway at and from the Easton and other stations on the line. The plaintiff had ob tained his patent for this invention on the 11th February, 1841, on which he filed his specification, stating all the important features of peculiarity in the invention, and that it was applicable to the purposes, without limiting its application to the purposes enumerated specially in the specification. The Electric Telegraph Company obtained their patent for communicating intelligence by means of detached wires, in combination with gutta percha, operated on by electricity, in the month of April, 1848; and they had, in the prosecution of their object, used the bands composed of wire, in combination with gutta percha, thereby violating the patent right of the plaintiff by infringement. The company had at its head several well-known persons, including Mr. Ricardo and Mr. Barlow, and had, it appeared, conducted some im portant lines of communication to completion, and had even undertaken to communicate by this invention intel ligence under the sea intervening between Boulogne and Folkstone. There had already been an action brought at common law to recover damages for this infringement. To that the company had put in an appearance, and in the meanwhile the company sought the protection of this Court, by means of an injunction, to restrain the com pany from using this mode of communication, and also prayed that an account should be rendered of all such straps or bands used by the company, and account with the plaintiff to the amount of their value. The use of the words " and for other . purposes," it was insisted, I brought the defendants within the meaning of the specification. Several exhibits of the bands used by the plaintiff and the defendants were put in and examined by the Learned Judge, who thereupon observed—l am inclined to think that the better way for your party is to go on with an action for infringement of your patent, if you so think fit, with liberty to the opposite party to apply for their costs in this court, if you do not proceed with such ac tion at common law. Mr. Elderton and Mr. Webster followed Mr. Turner on the same side. Mr. ROUPELL, for the defendants, denied that there had been any infringement of this person's patent. The de fendants used the gutta percha to protect insulated wire only for telegraphic communications. The composition used by his clients was not simple gutta percha, but a composition including, w i t h the gutta percha, sulphur and gum. The manufacture of this article was perfectly different from that of the plaintiff, who clearly, from the terms of his specification, was precluded from any claim to participate in any invention of the defendants for lan improved method of telegraphic communication of intelligence. Mr. Fools followed on the same side. Lord LANGDALE said—l do not consider that the plaintiff is entitled to an account as prayed, but I shall let the application stand over, in order to see whether they bring on their action at common law for damages. I see no reason for granting the injunction. Had there been a clear case math out of mala fides in respect to the exhibits and drawings produced by the plaintiff, and had it been shown and pressed on the Court that misre presentation had taken place, the judgment might have been conclusive. The motion to stand over. His Lordship will not sit in the Rolls' Court again until Saturday next. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, Feb. 10. (Middlesex Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron PLATT Bud a Common Jury.) SCARISIRICK AND OTHERS V. KINNAIRD. This case commenced on Friday, and did not close till late to•day. It was an action to try the right of pro perty in certain books seized by the Sheriff of Middlesex, under a writ of execution against Mr. James Bohn, the well-known foreign bookseller. Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. M. Smith, and Mr. Hodgson, appeared on behalf of the plaintiffs, who were the Bishop of Llandaff, Mr. Scarisbrick, a gentleman of property in Yorkshire, and Mr. Hyam Ansell, of the City; Mr. Martin, Mr. Bramwell, Mr. Willes, and Mr. Burchell, conducted the defendant's case. _ . Towards the close of the year 1843, Mr. Bohn, who then carried on business in King William-street, Strand, became bankrupt. With a desire to save a part of his stock, and enable him to resume his business, the plain tiffs agreed to subscribe 1,5001.—Mr. Scarisbrick sub scribing 750 L, Mr. Ansell 500 t, and the Bishop of Llan daff 2501. With this sum they bought some of the books of his assignees, and placed them under his care, he beim , at liberty to sell them as opportunity offered in his trade, and they to receive the proceeds. A brother of Mr. Bohn was placed in possession of the books, aid was paid 21. a week by the plaintiffs for attending ing to them. Mr. Bohn having resumed business, and having again become crippled in his means, obtained some advances of money from a Mr. Hoare, a solicitor, to whom he made a bill of sale in January, 1846. In the following August he made another bill of sale to a Captain Long, who was to advance 3,0001. in order to clear off all his liabilities to the plaintiffs as well as others. His difficulties were increasing a few months afterwards; in December the same year all his stock, consisting of 16,000 volumes of the highest and rarest class, and including the works formerly purchased by the plaintiffs, were seized by the sheriff at the suit of Captain Long, and sold. The action was brought to re cover the price or the value of the books belonging to the plaintiffs. These were the facts to prove the plain tiffs entitled to tbe property in question. It was further proved that at the sale the books were sold much below their value. The case for the defendant was that Mr. Ansell, at least, had no right to sue, as he had disposed of his interest in the books to Mr. Hoare on the 10th of July, 1845, and never afterwards interfered in the busi ness; that notice of the seizure had been given to the solicitors of the other two plaintiffs on the 22d of De• centber, 1846, two days before the books were removed, and that no claim was made on behalf of the plaintiffs, and that the sale took place in the usual manner. These points having been made out to the satisfaction of the jury, a verdict on that issues embracing them, and which went to the substance of the action, was found for the defendant. for Cochineal, and 86 bags Honduras at auction, all sold; silvers at 3s 9d to 4s 8d for ordinary to fine, which are stiffer rates; black went at 4s 6d to 5s 5d for low to good, being full prices. TALLow—To-day the public sales of tallow went off at better rates. Of New South Wales 140 cks mostly sold at 37s to 38s; 643 cks South American 34s 9d to 38s 3d; 11 cks North American 40s 6d; 31 chts East India 42s to 42s 6d; 70 cks Russian, soap tallow 36a 9d to 375; second sort P.

THE OLD PENINSULAR WARRIORS AT CHELSEA HOSPITAL.— Last Wednesday proved a glorious day for the old veterans of many a hard-earned fight, upon the occasion of the reception of the long and anxiously looked-for Peninsular medals. The distribution was under the superintendence of Colonel Sir John Wilson, C. 8., the Adjutant of the establishment, who took the opportunity of commenting upon their gallant conduct in the cause of their country, and expressed a wish that each of them would live many years to wear their gra cious Sovereign's mark of her approbation of their ser vices. THE GOVERNOR OF MALTA.—It is strongly reported that it is likely that Mr. More O'Ferral will relinquish the Government of this island very shortly, and that the Governorship will be amalgamated, as previously to his appointment, with that of Commander-in-Chief, Lieu tenant Ellice holding both appointments. It is said that Mr. O'Ferral is heartily sick of the " smytches," and their intolerable hostility towards Englishmen, and more especially the British army. Mrs. M. O'Ferral has been absent from Malta for the last six months. SHELLS AND SHELL - ROOMS.—The Admiralty have or dered that in ships where the shell-rooms are already fitted, the supply of fitted shells is to be according to the number the shell-room is calculated to hold. THE EARL OF HARDWICKE.—We have authority for stating that Captain the Earl of Hardwicke did not so licit employment from the present Government ; but the command of the Vengeance, 84, having been offered to him (with what view and for what reasons let our readers infer themselves), the Noble Earl, who never re fused service, accepted the command. Lord Hardwicke, it will be remembered, is on the Senior Captains' List, the 67th only from the top ; and not having served his term for: his flag rank, it may easily be imagined that the Noble Lord was most desirous of making up his two years as soon as possible. No doubt the present Govern ment, and the Admiralty especially, were heartily glad to get rid of a troublesome customer on the Navigation Laws' question, as also on the reduction of our naval forces. It happened in this instance that the Noble Lord's disposition to serve afloat jumped with the disin terested desire of the Government to employ him.

ROYAL NAVAL ASSIPTANT-SUAGEONSe• -. A deputation COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 10. (Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster.) ZINGET V. GEOGHEGAN AND WITHERS. Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Pearson were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Denman for the defendants. The plaintiff was a schoolmistress, who occupied apartments in Robert-street, Chelsea. She brought the pre.ent action to recover compensation in damages for an injury sustained under the following circumstances : It appeared that the defendant had a claim for rent furniture in the upon a person of the name of Souter, and believing the plaintiff's apartments to be the property of this person he sent in a broker, .who took therefrom sundry articles alleged by the. plaintiff to be her property. In the effort to obtain admiss ion the front parlour door was broken open, and on the pla intiff being sent for (for she did not reside upon the premises), and seeing what was done, she immediately sent out for a policeman. The school was shut up f or some time in consequence of this proceeding. The terms of the s chool were one guinea a quarter for each scholar, pro vided the money be paid in advance, and 301. a quarter if not so paid. It was stated in ev id enc e that it would cost 201. to repur chase the articles which had been taken. The defence was that the goods belonged to the plaintiff's brother, who had gone by the name of Souter; that he had left the premises which he had occupied, without paying the rent, and the goods were followed to the plaintiff's apartments where she held her school. It was also stated that this person ! Souter, was now on his way to America. The first defendant was the former landlord of Souter, and the other was the broker. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 501. LOCK V. ASHTON. Hr. Sergeant C. Jones was counsel for the plaintiff; Mr..Whitehurst and Mr. Flowers for the defendant. 'The plaintiff, who was carman in the employ of the defendant, a corn merchant living in the Blackfriers road, brought this action to recover compensation in damages for his false imprisonment by the defendant. It apps3ared that the plaintiff had been sent by the defend ant, with, as it was at first supposed, 20 sacks of oats, but the fact was that two of the sacks were so ,much tom that no oats were put into them. A receipt was accordingly given to him for only 18 sacks. Upon the return of the plaintiff to his master's house, one of the sacks was missing. The defendant suspecting the plaintiff of dishonesty, ordered him to be taken into cu3t. ody, when be was removed to Clerkenwell station.- house. The next morning he was taken before the magistrate, when he was remanded. Before the time had t arrived for his re-examination, it was discovered that the u kissing sack had been left with the toll-collector as aecur4y for the toll, and the oharftater of the plaintiff POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET. J. PARKER. BEGGING - LETTER IMPOSTOR EXTRAORDINARY. — James I hompson, alias Nixon, alias Sporr, alias Heppel, alias Robson, alias Henderson, a middle-aged man of re spectable appearance, was brought up in the custody of Horsford, the mendicity officer, charged with attempting to obtain money from our Sovereign Lady the Queen by means of begging letters. Horsford being sworn, stated, that he was sent for lby Mr. Taylor, who is connected with the household of Prince Albert, and, in consequence of a communication made to him, he made arrsinements to trace the author of the letter produced, which was sent to the Queen:— " Poplar, London, Sept. 6, 1848. " May it please your Majesty,- . —l am sorely afraid, not having had any answer to either of the letters I addressed to your Majesty at Osborne House, enclosing a letter from Lord Ravenworth, that I have done wrong, and that your Majesty doesliot sanction it. If such be the case, I am very sorry for it, and beg to ask pardon for the liberty, as I have erred through igno rance, and not being aware of your Majesty's customs, besides being almost past myself at three deaths taking place in my family in such a short time, thereby dis tressing me beyond endurance; and am sorry to add that I have made as yet no progress since I last wrote to your Majesty, craving as a particular favour your Majesty's benevolent consideration, and the return of Lord Ravenworth's letter, which would in all probability assist me in gaining some position by which I may be able to obtain a livelihood. If, therefore, your Majesty will please to take me into your gracious consideration, and cause to be returned to me Lord Ravenworth's letter, I will ever pray for your long life and hap piness.—l am you Majesty's most humble and obedient servant, " ELIZABETH HENDERSON. " Your Majesty will please cause it to be directed for me, Post-office, Poplar, London." There were also two other letters from the same per son, the envelop of one,i in answer, being enclosed to his Lordship to induce him to send an enclosure. Witness went on Tuesday to Poplar, and saw a letter addressed to Mrs. Henderson, from a lady at Morpeth, which in duced him to go to 53, Three Colts-street, Limehouse, upon which he took him into custody, and found in his pocket-book a letter from Mrs. Baker Cresswell, en closing a money order for 204. Among the several per sons of distinction with whom the prisoner has carried on a correspondence, were the Queen Dowager, Earl Har rowby, the Duke of Buccleuch, Lnrd Eldon, Lord John Russell, the Marquis of Cholmondeley, &e., and he was convicted in March, 1847, of obtaining money by the same means from Mr. Wm. Grey, M.P., then secretary to Lord John Russell. Mr. Ferguson, a clerk belonging to the Mendicity Society, said that the woman Henderson, who went by the name of Skelton, was convicted for attempting to ob tain money from Lord Mulgrave in February, 1848. ?tlary Ann Coglin, servant to Miss Wood, who keeps the post office at High-street, Poplar, said that the pri soner frequently called for letters for some months past. On Friday night sbe delivered him the letter produced, but his wife bad been only once for letters, and in con sequence of refusing to give them to her she brought a list of the places from which she ex p ected to receive letters. The prisoner told witness that the woman was his cousin, and when he called on Friday he seemed to think that the letter had been broken open. Mr. Barnett, who keeps the post-office in Three Colts street, said that when the prisoner called on Saturday Horsford was in attendance, and took him into custody. The prisoner said he would rather decline saying any thing in his defence, and ho was ordered to be remanded.

A solicitor, who appeared for the Messrs. Shoolbred, said that a robbery had been committed on their premises on Wednesday last, the 7th inst., by some one who must have known the premises. Several of the cashiers' desks had been forced open, and among others the desk in the approbation room, from which the money was taken. A reward of 1001. was offered for the apprehension of the person or persons who committed the offence, and on Friday Inspector Haines apprehended the prisoner, who be had no doubt, had committed the robbery. Inspector Haines, of the detective force, said that from information he received he watched the prisoner into a public. house in Church-street, Blackfriars-road, and told him he wanted to speak to him about a robbery at Mr. Shoolbred's, in Tottenham-court-road. The prisoner replied that he had not been there for three months. He said he was lodging at 6, Church -street, and that he slept in a little back parlour with his landlord. This afterwards turned out to be false. He said he had no boxes or clothes. He (Haines) then searched him, and found 31. 10s. in gold and Ss. in silver, in a new purse in his pocket, and also a new key. He heard the prisoner tell Mr. Shoolbred that he had hidden some of the money in the dustheap at Church-street, but upon its being searched it was not found. Sergeant Wbicher, of the detective force, stated that having been informed the prisoner resided at 48, John. street, Blackfriars-road, he went there, and was shown into a back attic, which was the prisoner's room, where he discovered a box, and trying the key in the prisoner's pocket it was found to fit the lock. The box contained several articles of wearing apparel, quite new. The pri soner told him that he was driven to it by distress. John Nippins, a shopman at a hosiery establishment, said that the prisoner came to his master's shop at eleven o'clock on Thursday, and bought goods to the amount of 3L 4s. 6d. The goods produced were the same. He bought a purse on Friday, which was the same produced. The prisoner being asked what he had to say, stated that he had been driven to do it through distress. Mr. Shoolbred had taken his character away, and he might just as well lose his life as his character. He tried his utmost, but it was useless. Mr. HENRY remanded him for further evidence to be produced. EMBEZZLEMENT BY ♦ RECEIVING CLORK.—A sickly-looking young man, named John Knight, who is the receiving clerk at Mr. Bielfeld's, pa.pier-macho manufacturer in Wellington-street, was charged with having embezzled several sums of money from his master. Mr. Harrison, the solicitor, who appeared for Mr. Bielfeld, said that the prisoner was the receiving clerk, and it was his duty to receive the money which had been collected by clerks appointed for that purpose, and to place the account in his cash-book, which Mr. Bielfeld signed every week. He then called Mr. T. E. Jervis, formerly a collecting clerk in the employ of Mr. Bielfeld, who stated that on the 14th of February, 1848, he received the sum of 51. 6s. from a Mr. Heycock, and on the ISth of February, 1848, he re ceived 21. 3s. 3d. from Mr. Thomas, or Thompson, Cam berwell, both of which sums he paid to Mr. Knight, the receiving clerk, who receipted his (Jervis's) book, which was produced. Mr. C. F. Bielfeld was then called, and said he had looked over the cash book and found no entries of the sums stated to have been paid. The prisoner denied having appropriated the sums to his own use, and requested that he might be allowed to look at the cash-book, as he said he had no doubt he could show the entries at some other period of the year, although not on the precise day of reception. Mr. Harrison begged Mr. Henry to remand the pri soner, as there were several other cases against him with which he was unable to proceed on so short a notice, the prisoner having only been taken into custody that morning. Mr. HENRY remanded the prisoner for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. _ _ _ THE MURDER AT ST. GILEB'B.—J. Manley, a plas terer, residing in Phoenix-street, St. Giles's, was again brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with murdering his wife. The first examination took place on Wednesday, the principal witness against the prisoner being a widow woman of the name of Gurden, whose evidence went to show that early on the morning of that day the deceased knocked for admission at witness's door, affirming that her husband (the pri soner) had turned her out of his house ; upon which she was requested by witness to enter, and reposed for some time upon witness's bed. About seven o'clock the pri soner entered the room by forcing open the door, and after dragging deceased from the bed by her heels, he dashed her on the floor, and whilst she Was lying there, kicked her about the head. saying, "I will be the death of you." He then rifled her pockets, and left her lying upon the ground, a corpse. Since that day a post mortem examination of the body has taken place, and, in accordance therewith, the fol lowing deposition was made by Mr. W. Simpson, sur geon, High-street, Bloomsbury :—" I have, since the last inquiry, made a post mortem examination of the body of the deceased, and found no external marks of vio lence; the cause of her death was owing to a rupture of one of the blood-vessels of the brain, which might have been produced by a fall."
