The tenant is to pay half the value of the stamps on the indenture of lease upon executing the same, and it is to be under stood that the said Commissioners will not undertake to procure the tenant a license. A printed term of the tender and indenture of lease may be had at this Office, or on application to the respective Barrack-masters.

No less number than Ten will be charged against the tenant, nor will any odd number be calculated : thus if the barrack should be eccupied by 14$ men on the first day of the Month, only 140 will be calculated for that month.

The cabin arrangements, though on a small scale, are very convenient. There is a saloon, ladies' cabin, with small dressing cabin attached, and a waiting cabin for servants. The walls aro of mahogany, and maple panelling. In the saloon and ladies cabin there is a range of sofas on each side, covered with green-figured hair cloth, which has a very rich and silky appearance, and is calculated to wear well. The ends are finished with elbows, the fronts of which e t w ab a le nd ie ve th ry a aapreprocpa r r i v a e t d e d m e s a i l I g o e! a n There y d o l pr e n a s , handq u i t s e e a m n e saloon, which also answers for a washing convenience. The cabins are lighted at night by brass bracket candle lamps (fixed against the walls), also very chaste. In this little vessel the chief object in building and fitting bas been service and economy, and though the materials are good, rather than superb, and more neat than splendid, the tout ensemble is most worthy to be ranked as one of the Queen's yacht squadron. We have before stated that the Elfin was designed by Mr. 0. W. Lang, with engines by Rennie and Co., put in under the superintendence of Mr. Humphries, formerly of that firm, but now chief engineer of her Majesty's Dockyard,lWoolwich. The fittings are by Messrs. Wake ling and Son, the Admiralty upholsterers. Commander John B.

He appeared to be a man of education and of character, who was desirous to elevate his country by educational means, and to fit his countrymen for a higher situation than they now occupied. He endeavoured, it would appear, to keep them from the use of intoxicating liquors, and he should have the benefit of all that, for a good cha racter was a most estimable thing; but still, if the jury arrived at the conclusion that those publications were of the nature attributed to them, it was useless to refer to evidence of character. They could not, in point of law or in reason, allow it to countervail the charge against him. His Lordship, in conclusion, exhorted the jury to discard everything , they might have heard out of court respecting the case, and not allow themselves to be influenced by any publications beside those which had' been given in evidence as forming the corpus delicti against the prisoner. The Foreman (Mr. Saunders) asked the Court whether Mr. Duffy was responsible for the articles published in the Nation which he had not written, because he was the publisher of the paper. Judge JACKSON—Undoubtedly, gentlemen, that is the law. In requiring the publisher and proprietor of a paper to lodge a declaration in the Stamp-office, the law contemplated making the document available as evidence against the publisher, should it be afterwards found necessary to institute a prosecution against him. He did. not mean to say that it would be conclusive evidence of his having written the articles, but it was evidence to go to a jury, and upon which a jury was at liberty to act. The jury then (twenty minutes past six o'clock) retired to consider their verdict, and bailiffs having been sworn to take them in charge, the Court adjourned to half past nine, P.M. At twenty minutes to ten o'clock the Judges enter ed into court (where a large number of persons, including many ladies, had previously assembled, from an anxiety to learn the result of the deliberations of the jury), and Judge JACKSON desired the High Sheriff to see the jury and inquire whether they had arrived at a verdict or nut.

LIYXRPOOL, APRIL 14.—The imports since Tuesday are small, but the exports are large, and the market generally has assumed much firmness. We had a good attendance of the town and country trade at yesterday's market, and there was a healthy demand for wheat, flour, and Indian corn, several purchases being made for Ireland. The advance on Tuesday's prices was 3d per bushel on wheat, is per ba'rrel and sack on flour, ird per bushel on oats, 6d per load on oatmeal, and I s 6d per quarter on Indian corn. Barley, beans, and peas fully sup ported late rates. The improvement is well maintained to fay, but the business doing is small. s. d. 8. d, GITILDIIALL, Amu. n, 1849. riIHE COMMITTEE for LETTING the CITY'S A.

Tke price is TWO GLIP.CEAC. the same as charged at 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORIcHILL, for THE REGISTERED PALE'rOT, which is likewise now ready for the Spring months, with all the new and patented Improvements included in the above moderate price ; thus it deservedly bears the name of being not only the most fashionable but also the cheapest and most durable garment ever offered to the Public, the intrinsic ♦alue of the material known as NICOLLIAN or LLAMA CLO fit. being. within the last few months, much enhanced, the same durability being retained, with as increased fineness and beauty in appearance. It car be seen ready for imme diate wear, in every sire, at 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL, bat IT is impossible to detail in an ordinary Adver tisement the many advantages appertaining to the above gar ments.

NICOLL purchase the wool direst from the foreign grower, and it does not leave their possession until it is produced in a complete form and ready for the inspection of their Patrons. Messrs. NICOLL are honoured with the patronage of their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, Prince George of Cam bridge, Priam Edward of Saxe Weimar, his Grace the Duke of Wel lington, and all others distinguished in ItankUnd Fashion, the Court, the Pulpit, and the Bar. _ _ . , At 114, 11G, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL, there is to be seen THE NICOLL.—A patented garment and pos sesaing this peculiarity, that whilst in its exterior it preserves every characteristic of 'he Registered Paletot, it can, by simply detaching an inner 11 ing, be conver ed from a warm to a light Overcoat, or vice versa, at th • pleasure of the wearer. This same inner lining, 'when detached, of itself forms a most comfortable reading or dressing jacket. There are many ether advantages con lained in THE NICOLL, rendering It as a garment a most valuable adjunct in a variable climate, also for travelling, &c., but it should be seen and worn to be fairly appreciated, but it can be had in Lon don only at 114, 116, 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNHILL, an IT is perkaps unnecessary here to state that Messrs. JL NICOLL will endeavour to deserve and retain the eminent position they have attained through the employment and liberal payment e the best skill and talent tkat can be met with in order to Introduce articles of gentlemanly costume in the most perfect taste. Messrs. N. are well aware that their great popularity induced by the kigh character exhibited in every point of the Registered Paletot, &c., kc., has caused many to assume a somewhat similar title for their goods, but the copy has consisted only in a close re semblance of tke name bat not of the article; a careful observance of the annexed address is therefore respectfully solicited, where the above garments can only be obtained in London.

The extraordinary efficacy, and happy amalgamation of its purely exotic materials, have rendered it justly renowned through out the world for its remarkalile virtues in nourishing, preserving, and beautifying the Human Hair. It insinuates its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nourishes the Hair in its embryo state, accelerates its growth, cleanses it from Scurf and Dandriff, sustains it in maturity, and continues its pos session of healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redun dancy, to the latest period of human life. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; so that, in numerous instances wherein other remedies have been tried in vain, ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL has superseded the ornaments of art, by rein stating, in full plenitude, the permanent gifts and:'graces of nature. In the growth of Whiskers, Eyebrows, and Mus tachios, it is also unfailing in its stimulative operation. For children it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use of the fine-comb unnecessary. The Patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, and the high esteem in which it is universally held, together with numerous Tes timonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest proofs of its merits.—Price 3s. 6d. and 75.; or Family Bottles (equal to four small) at 10s. 6d. ; and double that size, 21s.

Hail, Chaster, hail I thy antiquated city Shall form a rubject for ray humble muse; For certainly I think 'twould be a pity So good an opportunity to lose. The month of May is nigh, when thy locality Will bo a scene of stir and joviality. My sporting pals, who number very many, Are daily talking of the Chester Cup ; All are aroused—nor can I point to any, But who delight to bring the subject up Jack, Marry, Cuncliffe, Wiltshire, Burgess, Lester, Anticipate the coming race at Chester. Thousands from London at thy coming Meeting Will tread thy streets, thy course, thy walls, thy rows, And for this very purpose crowds are treating At MOSES' noted Mart for new Spring clothes— Clothes which will doubtless tempt the Chester people To send to MOSES, facing Algate steeple. MOSES and SON, who well have done their duty, In famishing both good and cheap attire, Will show you there such specimens of beauty, As your discerning folks will all admire ; Dress which will gaily deck your race-course ample, dud be admitted as a perfect sample. The Trowsers, Coats, and Tests of last year's season, Made your good people stare with all their eyes ; But, thanks to MOSES, I have every reason To think the present fashion far out-vies. And when you see the stylish, you'll know it, Nor have a cause to contradict the poet. In Boots or Shoes, and Hats, and Shawls for ladles, IIIOSES and SON will show you what they are; And seeing what the nature of their trade is, Your citizens will aid them, though so far. More might I say, but I conclude my ditty, By recommending MOSES to your City. LIST OF PRICES. MDT MADI.

In our market to day wheat well maintained its prices, and for the best samples an advance of is per quarter was obtained. Malting barley, too, was in demand, and commanded better prices. White wheat of fine sample fetched 53s per quarter; the best red, 45s ; good barley, 29s to 325. Yesterday at Chelmsford there was a brisk demand for the best wheats, and in many instances an advance upon last week's prices was given. For oats and peas there was a good demand, and both these articles were l s per quarter dearer. White wheat was 44s to 50s; red, 32s to 1453 ; grinding barley, 23s to 271; malting, 27s to 305 ; oats, 18s to 255; grey peas, 30s to 325 ; w hit e , 28 s to 30s. The markets of Suffolk have also improved. At Sudbury on Thurs day wheat was is per quarter dearer, and at Bury and Wood bridge there was a similar advance. MANCHESTER, APRIL 14.—During the present week a de cidedly firmer feeling has arisen in the trade, and both flour and oatmeal have met a freer sale than for some time past, at gradually improving prices. This morning the improved tone noted above was maintained, and wheat advanced 2d per 70Ibs. The sales effected in flour were at an enhancement on the cur rency of this day se'nnight of is to is 6d per sack, and is per barrel. Oats were held for rather higher rates, and oatmeal was saleable at 6d per load on previous prices. WINCHESTER, APRIL 14.—Corn—The Exchange was well filled with both buyers and sellers of corn, seeds, &c., parti cularly of English and foreign grown wheats. The samples of home-grown were not numerous, yet the deficiency was well made up by the Southampton corn merchants ofering Ameri can, Dantzic, Hamburgh, Danish, and Odessa shipments. Trade was much brisker than on any market day in this city since Christmas last. The general advance on all descrip tions of heavy dry grinding qualities was from 53 to 10s per load ; a few choice English grown white, weighing 641 b per bushel, realised 15s per load, or 3s per qr more money. The best samples of foreign weighed from 611bs to 631bs per bushel. Some barrels of sweet American and Canadian flour sold at an advance of Is per barrel ; the English ground ditto selling at from is to 2s per bag more money. The barley trade was also in a much more pleasing state f or th e se ll er , holders being firm, obtaining for every description of good malting and dis tilling an advance of at least is per quarter, a brisker sale also for second-rate and poor samples English chevalier (best) weighing 54 lbs per bushel ; Danish, 53 lbs ditto. Malt was sold at the prices of this day week. Rye in more demand. Oats—Best qualities of Belfast, Scotch, Northumberland and Yorkshire, Polands sold readily at from 6d to l s per quarter more money, weight 42 lbs per bushel; all common sorts were without alteration in price, though in better demand. More was done in beans, peas, and seeds than on this day week, yet prices did not vary materially. There appeared a good many purchasers of turnip and other seeds for stock, the rain of late favouring the sowing of early crops. Hops remain in a lan guid state : best Farnhams, 61 to 6 , lOs per cwt ; Altons, 5' to 5156 ditto ; second-rate Coventry and Sussex, 4/ t o 414. ditto. READING, APRIL 14.—Wheat, per quarter,34a to 58s; bar- My, 25s to 365; oats, 16s to 24s ; beans, 30s to 40s; peas, 30s to 40s. Fat hogs, ; 8s 6d to 8s 9d ; porkers, 9s to Os per score.

Wanamnzon, APRIL 12.—The trade to-day, although characterised by more firmness en the part of holders of wheat, has been by no means brisk, and in the business passing the previous currency could not be exceeded for any article in the trade. English wheat, 6s 2d to 6s 6d ; Irish, 6s to 6s 3d ; English oats, 2s 6d to 2s 8d ; Irish, 2s 5d to 2s 7d per 70Ib. Seed oats, 3s 3d to 4s per 451 b. Barley, malting. 325.

GLASGOW CASTLE MARKET, APRIL 0,- WO had a large supply of cattle at our market to-day, and prices bad a slight tendency downward. Best ox beef from 50s to 52s per cwt, cow and ordinary from 40s to 4.3 s per do., sinking the offal. We had a smaller supply of sheep than usual, and prices realised Is per head dearer. Best aged wethers from 6d to 6id per lb, ewes, very scarce, from -lid to 5d per do., sinking the offal ; lambs from 22s to 27s per head. The numbers were —oxen, 869; sheep, 753 ; lambs, 11. BELFAST, Aram 12.—Wheat sells at former prices, and is in fair demand. Foreign sells more freely at 91 to 9115 s for Odessa, and 101 to 111 10s for Baltic wheats. Flour, rather a slow sale, at our quotations. American interferes materially with our home-made, and sells freely at 24s 6d to 25s per barrel. Barley a free sale, at former rates. Oats are taken for feeding at about former prices. Oatmeal unchanged in value, but is rather a dragging sale. Indian corn scarce, and in de mand, at 71 5s to 71 7s 6d for yellow, and 2s 6d per ton less for white, being an advance of 2s 6d to 5s per ton. CORK, Aram 11.—The arrivals of foreign grain are few. Owing to this, as well as the improved advices from the Eng lish side, we have a firmer feeling manifested in the trade here, and more business doing. There is a very large consumption going on at present, indeed such a consumption as, in other Years, would have caused a considerable enhancement in the value of all descriptions of bread stuffs, but which now, owing to the scarcity of money and diminished confidence, as well as the want of employment for the labouring classes, has only induced a trifling advance, though it has decidedly aided in im parting a firmer tone to the trade. Our supplies of home grain continue very trifling, those of wheat especially, the receipts of this article fur the week having again fallen short of 100 barrels. In our green market the prices of each article have advanced slightly. Prepared Irish wheat is held for more money. The same remark applies to foreign, 25s per barrel having been refused for a sample of prime Marianople. We have no barley offering. Prepared oats are the turn dearer, but we have no transactions of consequence to record. Prime mealing oats are in good demand at considerably enhanced rates, but stocks of the article here are very low. For all de scriptions of coarse or secondary fours the demand is good, and such qualities meet a ready sale, but fine samples go off slowly and in retail quantities. We may remark that the consump tion of bread is large, while the stocks of flour in factors' and bakers' hands are small. A large business has been done in Indian corn at an advance of fully ss. per ton, the price of Galatz this week being Si.

Your Lordship has the depositions before you. Baron PLATT—You Have no right to make that ob servation unless you intend to put in the depositions.

Baron PLATT—You had better go ou with your exa mination. Mr. CHAMBERS—Now, was the overcrowding of the room the predisposing cause of the cholera? Witness— I have not said that it was overcrowded. Baron PLATT—You are assuming by your question that the rooms were overcrowded? Witness—Certainly. Mr. CHAMBERS—I am assuming nothing, my Lord. I am simply asking whether that would be a predis posing cause, such as bad food would be. Now, sir, were there any predisposing causes? Mr. CHAMBERS—WeII, now, as a medical man, can e t e o n w g h r e a g t a w t i o o u h l d t h b g e e a t h predisposing of e c y a o u u se fo ? rm l a v n i y tb o es p s i — nio r n b a e s children would be a predisposing cause. Mr. CHAMBERS—Now, I ask you whether there was or was not an overcrowding of the rooms? Witness— Yes, in the big boys' ward. Mr. CHAMBERS —And that would be a predisposing cause? Witness —Certainly it would. Cross-examined by Sir FREDERICK THESIGER—It a w s as ov th e e rc re ro , w h d e ed w . as H in e remembered, big the sick ward. Ho was al wa y s iu the sick ward, but not on the sick list. If he o rdered it the bo y s in the sick ward had meat and porter e ver y da y . The y had every thing he chose to order for them.

After ho went there several children were sent there who had the itch. He made great efforts to get rid of it, but he never could ascertain whether it had been totally eradicated. The cholera broke out suddenly ; there were no premonitory symptoms. There were always cases of diarrhoea in the establish ment. The necessity of separating those whowere struck with the disease from those who were healthy created considerable confusion, and great difficulty was expe rienced in procuring nurses. Ile saw nothing in the clothing of the children which could form a predisposing cause of cholera, nor did he ever hear any complaints msde about their food. He had never heard anything said before this against Mr. Drouet as to his humanity. There were six adults engaged in tho establishment; three of whom died of cholera. One of them, named Warren, attended on Andrews. h e had the any e s other s s. c w h medical the n had Re-examined by M r . C HAMBERS—T h e b oy A n d rews was about a fortnight on the sick list.

By the COURT—The 42 cases ran through the whole month, but at the end of the month many of them had been cured, and the 45 of the next month were new cases. About a dozen only of the 50 or 60 who were attacked with cholera had been previously suffering from diarrhoea, so that with the exception of that dozen there were no premonitions at all. - Mr. Henry Whitten, the Registrar of Deaths for the parish of Streatham, examined by Mr. CLARKSON. e xa c m l i ud n e e d, w b a y n dsw Sir He had the register fro m A pril, 1848, to J anuary , 1849, and there were no ca ses of cholera in it. Hi s di str i c t included Mr. Drouet' s esta b lishment. F. There TuEsui re Ell w —His casesdistrictof cholera in the or did C b s e s t - in adjoining parishes. Mr. Grainger, a Member of the College of Surgeons, examined by Mr. CH AMBERS.—IIe had been twenty five years in the profession, and held the office of Me dical Inspector of the Board of Health. In the first week in January last, he went down and examined Mr. Drouet's establishment ; awl, although he did not go over the whole of it, he could form an opinion as to the previous overcrowding of it. He went simply to see as to the state of the cholera. He went over the school-rooms as well. Sir F. THESISER interposed, and urged that the wit ness's opinion as to the previous state of the establish ment was no evideace. Mr. CHAMBERS did not press it at tho moment, and continued the examination.

The rooms were certainly overcrowded with regard to the number of beds. They were too near each other, and in his opinion that would be injurious to the health of the occupants. Tho rooms were badly ventilated for the number of beds. Baron PLATT—If there had been less beds, then the ventilation would have been sufficient. Witness—Yes; there were 1,400 children in the esta blishment certainly too many for the size of the build ing. In his opinion, the principal cause of the cholera was the overcrowding of the establishment. He had spoken to some children about their food, with Mr. I)rouet's consent, but he was not by at the time. Sir F. DIESIOER—Then you can go no further? Witness continued—He saw the children about a fortnight after they had been removed, and could de scribe their condition. They were decid e dl y un h ea l t h y. Many of them were wasted in their limbs, and were in the state commonly called pot-bellied, and the great ma jority of them had what was called eruptions on the skin. 42 out of 65 of the boys had the itch, and out of 75 girls 34 had the itch, and 6 some other skin disease. By the COURT—He could not undertake to say that twenty had small pulses. Examination continued—These were all indications of the children having been fed too scantily, and upon a low dietary. He took notes of his observations while going over the establishment. It was badly ventilated generally, but the school-room was decidedly not pro perly ventilated. Sir F. DIMMER declined to cross-examine this wit ness. Dr. Furro examined by Mr. CLAnstsox—He accom panied Mr. Grainger to inspect Mr. Drouet's establish ment, and he examined the children of the Holborn Union. About 120 were presented for examination. Their general state was very bad, but the girls were better than the boys. In most instances the limbs had wasted away, and they had pot-bellies, and about two thirds of them had a skin disease. Baron PLATT—Did they differ from the appearance of other workhouse children? Witness—Oh, very ma terially, my Lord. Examination continued—About 45 per cent. were affected in the manner he had stated. The skin diseases were occasioned by the neglect of proper treatment and proper precaution. No doubt, the original cause was the introduction of a child who had the disease; but the skin of the children was generally in that state which indicated that they had been badly treated and improperly fed upon fluids, which was one great cause of pot-belly. Had the children received dren which could not be cured in a fortnight? Witness —No, my Lard, with proper appliances, such as baths, separate beds, linen, See. Baron Prerr—What do you mean that children in this state would be predisposed to cholera ? Witness— Their constitutions were in such a state that they would more readily catch any prevalent disease than if they were well fed and in good condition. Sir F. THESIOER—Who is the surgeon of the Royal Free Hospital? Witness—Mr. Wakley. Mr. CHAMBERS—Not Mr. Wakley, the coroner? Wit ness—No ; Mr. Wakley, junior. Mr. T. C. Jackson, the house-surgeon of the Royal Free Hospital, examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—He examined the children on the 6th day of January last, and from the condition he found them in, be thought they had not been properly fed, while their clothes were too thin to give the necessary warmth, which chil dren of their age ought to have. Young Mr. Wakley did not see them. There was 87 cases of cholera alto gether, and eight of collapse. Mr:James was recalled, and stated that there were three vans to carry the children to London, and that they were well covered in with tarpauling. This was the case for the prosecution. Sir F. THESIGER submitted that there was no case at all to go to the jury. This was the very first time that an attempt had been made to establish a charge of man slaughter under such extraordinary circumstances, and it appeared to him that the evidence totally failed to support the indictment. It was alleged that, being the owner of an establishment for the reception of poor children, and having received the deceased child and a number of others, under a certain contract, into his charge, it became t he duty of the defendant to provide those children with proper food and necessaries, and that having neglected that duty, the consequence was that the deceased child became mortally sick and dis tempered, and died. Now, he would admit, for the sake of his argument, that it was the duty of the defendant under his contract to take care that James Andrews, the deceased, was properly fed, clothed, and lodged, and that if by reason of his negligence or carelessness in these par ticulars that death ensued, he would have been subject to a charge of manslaughter, but here it was perfectly clear from the evidence that this poor boys death did not occur from any direct act of negligence or omission on the part of Mr. Drouet, but that he died in consequence of the cholera, and that the cholera alone was the cause of death; and that Mr. Drouet had done no act which in any way contributed to that event. He thought that he was entitled to say there was an entire absence of evidence that even the predisposing cause of the attack was in any way to be attributed to Mr. Drouet, because it had been proved that before the children were re moved from Tooting Mr. Whitfield, the medical officer, had selected those whom he considered most healthy, and the most proper on that account, to be taken away; and that the deceased was among them. The fatal at tack occurred afterwards; and under these circum stances be thought he was fairly entitled to say, that the actual cause of death was Asiatic cholera. How, then, was Mr. Drouet responsible for that visitation? What had he done? What omission was he guilty of which had immediately contributed to the death of the deceased? He submitted, that by the law of England, even if it wore possible to show that a party was remotely and in directly the cause of death, it was not sufficient to sup port a charge of manslaughter, but there must be proof that he was distinctly and immediately the cause of the death by some act committed by him. In Lord Hale's " Pleas of the Crown," vol. 1, page 448, some cases were stated which directly applied to the question now at issue. Lord Hale said that in a case where a party re ceived a wound which was not _in itself mortal, but which afterwards proved so by the neglect of the person who received it to take proper remedies, that the act of the person who orginally inflicted the wound was, under such circumstances, neither murder nor manslaughter; and he said the same in another case where a wound, not in itself mortal or dangerous, resulted in the loss of life by reason of the use of poisonous salves, and other ingredients. In order still more to illustrate the point of his argument, he would admit that Mr. Drouet had weakened the constitution and strength of the deceased child by his treatment; still, it was not by any means a • necessary consequence that the cholera should arrive and attack the child he had so re duced, and, on that ground, Mr. Drouet could not be held responsible for that which he could not avert. Sir F. Thesiger then referred to a case mentioned by Mr. Allison, in his " Report upon the Law of Scotland, " in which a gamekeeper, who had been shot, and slightly injured, by a poacher, afterwards died of erysipelas, in consequence of being placed in a bed where a person had died of that disorder, and said that in that case the Lords Justices, notwithstanding that the public prose cutor strongly urged that the gun-shot wound was, in fact and reality, the real cause of the deceased losing his life, decided that the prisoner was not answerable for the death under such circumstances. The present case, he submitted, was exactly similar to those he had referred to, and he said that as the death had been occasioned by the cholera, and was not proved to have resulted from any act of Mr. Drouet, there was no evidence upon which the jury could be called upon to convict him. Mr. BALLANTINE followed, and he urged, that if the present indictment were allowed to prevail, it would be a straining of the law of England, which, iu his opinion, would be most dangerous, and which he felt assured their Lordships would never sanction. What was the charge against the defendant ? Why, it was said that by reason of something or other the defendant had done or omitted, the deceased was made liable to receive a variety of diseases, cholera, scarlet fever, typhus fever, scarlatina, &c. Now, what would be the effect of allow ing such an indictment as this to proceed ? Why, the effect would be, that according to the law of man slaughter, if, within a year and a day the deceased child had died of some other disorder, and some ingenio us medical practitioner had fancied that he could dis cover at the death was occasione d b y the treatment to which l he had been subjected, the defendant might have been indicted for manslaughter. It appeared to him that it could be just as well said, in a case where a party had broken the leg of another, who was run over by an omnibus six months afterwards, because by reason of the accident he was unable to run fast enough across the road to get out of the way, that he was guilty of man slaughter, as in the present case. The question might be tested by reference to the relations between masters and apprentices, and gaolers and prisoners. In a case where a gaoler had confined a prisoner in a low, damp, mad unhealthy place, and thereby produced an ill habit of body, which resulted in his death, it was held to be mur der i n the gaoler who so a c t e d. A ga i n , i n a case w h ere a pr isoner who had not had the small-pox, and who gave the gaoler notice to that effect, was, notwithstanding, locked up in the same cell with a prisoner who was suf fering from that disease, and who contracted it and died, there also the act was held to amount to murder. In these cases the death was remote from the original act, and upon their authority he submitted that the present indictment had been fully sustained. Mr. CLARKSON also addressed the Court in support of the indictment. Sir F. THESIGER, in reply, contended that all the cases which had been cited by his Learned Friend tended to support the view of the case, which he had originally ventured to submit to their Lordships. In the first case the water on the brain was the actual result of the state of starvation to which the deceased had been reduced. The same was the case where the prisoner had been con fined in a low, damp, and urthealthly dungeon. The third case, regarding the confining of the prisoner in the same room with another who was suffering from small, pox, and still stronger, for that was just the same as though the gaoler had inoculated the deceased with the fatal disease, and in every case there was a direct act tending to death. In the present case it appeared to him there was an entire absence of evidence to make out the charge of manslaughter, and he therefore called upon their Lordships to discharge Mr. Drouet from the accusation, and to exercise the power which the law re posed in them by protecting him from being placed in any jeopardy, by not allowing the case to go to the jury. There was some manifestation of applause in the court when Sir F. Thesiger concluded his reply. The Judges then consulted together for about ten mi nutes, when Mr. Baron PLATT said that with regard to the ques tion whether the prisoner was amenable to a charge of manslaughter by reason of his having, by bad treatment, reduced the constitutional energy of the child, so as to render him unable to resist any disease with which he might be attacked, they should refrain from giving an y opinion; but it appeared to the Court that there wa s another point which disposed of the case altogeth er . The indictment charged the defenda nt with having, b y his improper treatment, so re duced the strength and constitution of the deceased child that he was unable to resist the attack of which h e afterwar ds died ; but there had been no evidence whatever ad d uc ed to show that the deceased ever was in such a state of health as to render it probable that he w ould have recovered from the ma lady but for the treatment of the defendant. This, it appeared to the Court, was a most important omission, and one which might easily have been supplied by medical testimony; and, in the absence of such evidence, the jury would be called upon to make a leap in the dark. How were the jury to say that the child would not equally have died of cholera if it had not been at Tooting at all? How were the jury to say that the treatment Mr. La Touche then left the court, and after a lapse of about five micutes returned and informed their Lordships that the jury had not come to any agreement, and that if necessary they would come into court and express their opinions upon the subject. Judge JACKSON asked whether th. ; inry had given the High Sheriff to understand that they were likely to agree? The High Sheriff replied that be did not think there was much chance of their coming to a decision. Judge JACKSON next inquired whether the jury had intimated a desire to put any questions to the court? The Sheriff said they had not. The jury, at the order of Judge Jackson, were then called into court. Having taken their places in their box and answered to their names, The Clerk of the Crown inquired whether they had agreed or not? The Foreman said they had not, and that there was not the least probability of their doing so. Judge JACKSON—WeII, then, gentlemen, the only course to be taken is that you should retire again to your chamber, and once more consider the verdict you ought to find. NO VERDICT.—DUFFY ADMITTED TO BAIL. DUBLIN, SATURDAY Evunina.—At the sitting of the Commission Court this morning Mr. Justice Jackson directed the sheriff to inquire whether the jury in this case had agreed to their verdict. The sheriff proceeded to the room and returned with an answer that they had not agreed. His Lordship observed that there was no thing further to be done fol. the present in the matter, and directed the city calendar to be proceeded with. At half-past two o'clock the Court desired the sheriff to proceed with a doctor to the jury-room, and examine one of the jurors who wished to see a medical man. Dr. Hargrave then proceeded to the jury-room, and on his return said that further confinement would be dangerous to the life of Mr. Wright. The jury were called into court, and still declaring they could not agree, were discharged. Mr. Burr observed he thought that was the proper time to make an application to discharge Mr. Duffy on his own recognizances, or to admit him to bail. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL said he would not oppose the application, taking into consideration the imprison ment Mr. Duffy had suffered. If he could enter into' recognizances himself in 1,0001. and two sureties in 5001., he could be discharged. This announcement was received with loud and pro tracted applause, which was with difficulty stopped by the police. Several of the disturbers were brought before the Bench and reprimanded. The joy manifested outside the court-house was even greater than that within, when these facts became known. STANFIELD-HALL MURDERS. THE CONVICT Rues.—Soon after Rush's condemna tion, the chaplin of the Castle visited him, and offered his services, which Rush declined, under the plea of his own sufficiency to conduct his devotions privately, at the same time civilly assuring the rev. gentleman that his determination was made out of no disrespect to him. He bad previously intimated a wish to see the Rev. W. W. Andrew, incumbent of Hethel, whose church he had frequented for several years, and who had shown great kindness to him and his f amily; but he declined for mally requesting his attendance on him. The chaplain, therefore, wrote to Mr. Andrew, and introduced him to the prisoner, in company with himself. During this visit, Rush was much moved, especially at certain con nexions and family transactions being brought to his recollection. The night before this interview he had become very restless and perturbed, and exhibited symptoms of uneasiness that induced the governor to place an additional guard over him. On the following day ha requested the chaplain to pray with him, and has continued to do so, thanking him for his services. He is more tranquil, and ap pears to have lost all hope of escaping, or mitigating the fate that hangs over him. The execution is fixed for Saturday next, April 21. The eldest daughter (whose decease was confidently reported on Saturday), had an interview with her father on Monday. She and the rest of the famiy are as well as, under these melancholy cir cumstances, can to expected. Miss JERMY AND ELIZA CHESTNEY.—In some of the papers it has been stated that Mrs. Jermy is entirely deprive:l of her reason ; we have authority, from her medical attendants, to state that this is not the case. Although Mrs. Jermy has been suffering from much mental excitement, yet those unpleasant symptoms are fast passing away, and there is every reason to hope that, ere long, we shall have the satisfaction of being able to announce her perfect recovery. We need but say that the wound in the arm has progressed most favourably. Of Eliza' Chestney we are also happy to add that she hat not suffered in any way from being brought to Norwich and her return to Stanfield ; her present condition is considered most satisfactory; The subscription for her already amounts to 3361.85. EMILY SANDFORD.—Subscription lists have been opened at Norwich and Swaffham, for the purpose of raising a fund for the relief of Emily Sandford. The subscribers say—" We the undersigned, participating in the general feeling of commiseration for the unprotected and destitute state in which the unfortunate Emily Sand ford has been plunged by the crimes of the convict James Blomfield Rush, have resolved to testify our desire to alleviate her misfortunes by a private pecuniary sub scription, intended to be administered to her necessities under proper direction and management.

At present, to deprive a plaintiff of his costs, a defendant has to go a to the court a b ove and incur n expense. A simple remedy should b e prov i ded. Lord Eddisbury, Under-Secretary of State for the Foreign Department, who has been sojourning in Paris during the Easter holidays, returned to London on Saturday. The Right Hon. the Speaker and Mrs. Shaw Lefevre, and the Misses Lefevre, arrived in Eaton-square on Saturday, from the family seat in Hampshire. The Caledonia, 120, Captain Carter, arrived at Naples on the 4th inst. from Plymouth, having been eighteen days on the passage. As the Queen, 110, Captain Rich, was ordered to leave Sir W. Parker on the same day that the Caledonia left Plymouth, and as the Hibernia, 104, Captain Wise, was ordered to leave for England on the arrival of the Caledonia, those three-deckers may be very shortly expected at Devonport to be paid off, The Arrogant, steam-frigate, 46, Captain Fitzroy; was taken into the angle dock, at Portsmouth, on Friday, to have her copper cleaned, and to have an additional pipe placed to supply the new gaily-distilling apparatus. She will probably come out of dock on Tuesday, or Monday, if the alteration be completed. We think, from the great buoyancy of this fine vessel, that 100 tons of iron ballast, properly distributed, would be an improvement to her. She had to receive on board the day she was tried, her powder and her shells, and the clothes belonging to her crew; these articles would not bring her down an inch, and she was at least 10 inches higher out of the water than she should have been. The Admiralty have ordered Captain Fitzroy to proceed from Portsmouth on the 17th instant, with stores and supernumeraries to Cork, and after remaining there 48 hours, to return to Spithead, trying the ship during her passage under every circum stance of steam and canvass, and in the working of her powerful armament. The Hampshire Telegraph says the " Basilisk and Niger, new steamers, of 4,000 horse-power each, are commissioned at Woolwich." It has been the fashion of late to increase the arma ment of all the small vessels and steamers that have been recently commissioned; for instance, the Rifleman, Sharp shooter, and it would appear that the Reynard and Plumper, screw-sloops, are overdone in this respect; their extreme breadth is 27 feet 6 inches, and when the broad side guns are run in on the slides, there is no room on the deck for the crew to work the ship under canvass, Some alteration, or reduction will, therefore, be made in their armament, but whether the number of broadside guns will be reduced, or guns of a less calibre taken on board, has not yet been decided on. The Elfin, Royal steam-yacht tender, fitted at Wool wich, has been twice tried down the river, and has been reported as having attained a speed of 12 knots and 6-10ths, which is said to be equal to nearly " 14i" sta tute miles an hour. We say reported, because the re ports and realities are not always the same, as we have often proved with reference to these trials on the Thames reported from Woolwich. It would have been much more satisfactory if the figures of time and speed, taken at the measured mile, had been given; and there could have been little difficulty in getting them; for it is idle to suppose that the Elfin went down the river on " trial," after a little breathing, the evening before, and did not run the measured mile, "Fourteen miles and a quarter" she is reported to have gone, but this is not enough, and we shall be disappointed if she does not add another mile to this rate of speed; in fact, we believe there is very little doubt but that she will make an average of IS miles. There appears, indeed, to be some little mistake in the above rendering of nautical miles, for by our reckoning 12 knots and 6-10ths make 14.49 miles, or nearly fourteen miles and a half. The yard masons have :been repairing the arches of the old basin at Portsmouth for the last week. So aooa as the Arrogant comes out of dock the water will be pumped out, and the basin will be thoroughly cleaned. APPOINTMENTS. Commander—W. S.

ADMIRALTY VISIT TO SHEERNESS.—The Lords of the Admiralty arrived at Sheerness on Friday, and landed at one o'clock from their steam-yacht Black Eagle, under the usual salute from the flag-ship, and a guard of honour of the 72d Regiment. Their Lordships were received by Vice-Admiral the Hon. G. Elliot, K.C.8., port-admi ral, and the other officers of the port and dockyard. The board mustered the men in the yard at three o'clock, after which they inspected the establishment. The speed of La Hogue, 56, steam guard-ship, on her trial from Sheerness harbour to the Mouse Light, is fnrnished us as 9f knots per hour. Her engines and machinery are by Seaward and Co. The North Star, 26, Master Commanding J. Saun ders, will be taken out of dock at Sheern e s s thi s d a y, an d towed to Deptford, where she will ship the stores, pro visions, &c. she is commissioned to carry to th e suc cour of the expeditions in search of Sir John Franklin and party. The Dasher, steam-vessel, Lieutenant Parks, will leave Sheerness to•day for Scotland. Lightning, steam-vessel, Mr. Petley, master, RN., commanding, has embarked Vice -Admiral the Hon. G. Elliott, K.C.8., Port-Admiral at Sheerness, for Grimsby, at the opening of whose docks the Admiral will officiate. THE REDUCTION OF THE FLEET. -- The Penelope, steam-frigate, Captain L. T. Jones, will be paid off at Portsmouth to-day. The St. Vincent, 120, Captain Dacres, has been stripped, and, hauled alongside the jetty, at Portsmouth, where she will be paid off to-mor row. The officers give their late Admiral and Captain Dacres a farewell dinner on shore on the paying off.
