TEE UNIVERSAL PASSION. (From the Dispatch.) , It is estimated that the application of steam and ma chinery to manufactures has practically given to these islands the productive power, without the cost, of 200 million of workers. The adaptation of these former agen cies to navigation, to land transit and transport, to min ing and other purposes, has probably contributed quite s e largely to the production of wealth among us. The facilities which these, the electric telegraph, the gold discoveries and "yellow fever" have afforded for the pro motion of emigration and colonisation have vastly en larged onr markets, and afforded us access to extensive additidtas to the supply of the chief raw materials of manufacture. _ _ _ These agencies have grown upon us almost insensibly. It is not until we rest upon our staff and look back that we see the prodigious length of the road we have travel led. What Watt, Arkwright, Crompton, Heathcoat, Jacquard have done for us has been so silent, peaceful, gradual in its effects, that we scarcely realise to our selves the fact that England is at least ten times richer thanr she was a century ago ; that the population, as a whole, can command more than ten times the conveni ence, comfort, and luxury which their ancestors could in the year of grace 1756. Need we call to mind even the least obvious of these changes ? Thirty gallons of water per head per day within every house in the metropolis, in place of one or two gallons of Fleet-ditch or Thames brought in barrels on men's backs ; a blaze of gas in the obscurest alley, in place of total darkness even in the Strand ; halfpenny steam-boats or sixpenny cabs, in place of half-crown wherries, or two shilling hackney-coaches or sedan-chairs ; better and infinitely more diver sified and agreeable books for a shilling than were for merly produced at a guinea and a half ; excursions of labourers from Edinburgh to the Crystal Palace in less time and at less cost than the middle class voyages to Margate in a hoy ; a letter from Penzance to Kirkwall at ld. in place of 55., and delivered in one-tenth of the time ; a voyage to America in a fortnight, or to India in a month, in place of 42 days or six months ; large retail stocks entirely superseded, and coals cheap in the remote interior ; the housemaid dressed more handsomely than the mistress used to be ; the exterior of the holiday me chanic undistinguisbable from that of the gentleman ; hardware and earthenware so cheap, elegant, and useful as to furnish the poor man's kitchen better than formerly that of his employer—these are mere hints of our prodi gious progress ; suggestions only to set the mind loose to complete the comparisons of advance. Yet the result is perfectly magical. It outstrips the heated fancy that imagined the wonders of Aladdin ; the splendours of the East are copper tinsel to it ; it realises the visions of the alchemist, and outstrips the most stupendous conjectures of science, or the most gorgeous imagery of the poet. •It was not to be expected that society should remain stationary during the progress of this transition of its outward conditions. We are, it is said, the creatu r es of circumstances. This material change has bad its moral parallel. If the world has moved, so also bas the soul. The change in the architecture of the "tenement of clay" has altered the spiritual character of its tenant. Teen pore mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis. We do not think history has traced the change in human nature which has followed the mutation of the influences which surround it ; psychology has been asleep while its phe nomena have been in active development, and its laws have experienced a violent and extended elimination. It is beginning to' be remarked that society every day more and more concentrates the business of life on the acquisition of property. Crime, daily, rapidly, alarmingly increasing among all classes of our community, is prompted chiefly , by the desire to appropriate and accu mulate. A cold, cunning, calculating sordidness, with little violence of passion in it, and much forecast and callous arithmetic—these characteristics distinguish the offences of the age from the lawlessness of former times. Necessity, the wild spirit of adventure, fierce courage, recklessness—these are superseded by methodical ar rangement, painstaking preparation, and ingenious im posture. Thieving is a science, and swindling a profes sion, but gainfulness prompts and moves all. Where is Grub-street now ? the Grub-street of Ho garth or Goldsmith ; the poor author, with his long milk score, the famised poet ready to immortalise the Mecznas of a dinner ; the painter, limning his way out of a tavern bilr, or dying "in the worst inn's worst room." Actors, artists, authors, poets, all are " warm men," and become fastidious in their luxury, and magni ficent in their notions, generally in the ratio of the lowness of their birth, and the penury of their original circumstances. Fame ! " A fico for the phrase !" Solid padding, that is the real celebrity. A fine house, fine furniture, a do wry for the girls, a good income for the sons, that is the goal of " high art," the one end and aim of the inspiration of genius. Where is there a Hippocrates, a Galen, a Celsus where the physician whose devotion to science, whose love of knowledge, whose enthusiastic dedication of his life to the study of anatomy and physiology postpones every motive and consideration to the promotion of medical discovery? The greatest physician is simply the man who gets the greatest number of fees, whose hours are apportioned by guineas, and who seems to be most highly rewarded just when he has arrived at the point tf not sparing one hour from avarice to devote to science. And to whom do the profession look up as the greatest p hysiologist and anatomist ? Why, chiefly to the man who has done least for either, and most for himself ; the largest income is the index to the greatest doctor. What divine is there, who, if the Archbishopric of Canterbury were 1001. a year less than his own living, would not laugh in your face if you proposed an ex change, and cry " Nolo episcopari" with a fervour of sincerity utterly unknown to Bishops ? , See where the profound theologian and eloquent ambassador of Heaven crams his fashionable church, " wins many souls to Christ," makes "those who came to scoff remain to pray." Religion revives around him ; h e see k s an d h e saves thousands aho were lost. What if a wore lucrative but a Tess useful sphere should open to him—a large living and a small cure —more tithe and fewer souls ? Why, he should think himself crazy to hesitate for a, moment so prefer the larger income ; and hie most de voted followers would not so much as think of any other way of getting him to remain, but that of subscribing to make up the difference. And thus Bishops, utterly in competent for their duties, cannot resign under 6,000/. a year and a palace ; and statesmen and pietists insist upon what they call "dignitaries" of the Church coping with the nobility and gentry, not ip simplicity and godly sincerity, but in the style of living and worldly splendour; while evangelical orthodoxy cannot conceive of support ing the pomp of the episcopal office, except by a prince's income and regal display. Every condition is equally measured by its money value. No other standard, either of greatness or happi ness, is even conceived. It is not possible to imagine, in a great and free country, so ennobling an office as that of a Judge. He stands between the Crown and the people ; between innocence and the power of authority ; superior to them all, because the law is above all. Or a Minister, or an Ambassador, the lawgiver, the ruler, the representative of his country, in whose hand is the rod of empire—how exalted is such a function ! In A merica this is felt and understood ; to serve the State in an honourable capacity is a dis'inction reckoned wor thy of any pecuniary sacrifice. But ainonest us, cash is the measure of value. A lawyer declines to be a judge because he "makes more at the bar ;" a merchant .‘c an . not afford" to be Chancellor of the Exchequer. Walpole "was a great fool" to leave the Chancery bar to serve as a Secretary of State. He has only "a paltry thousand a year from his Commissionership ; really we must do something for him." It Lithe same spirit which inspires every movement. Whenever any man serves either his friends or his coun try in any way, the first thought of gratitude—indeed , the only thought —is in the direction of money. A "tes thnonial,"a purse, a service of plate, an appointment, a pension for life, these, in one eternal sound, testify to the sheer sordid till-and -counter character of the age. Every clam; conspires to magnify money ; all bow and cringe to " the a l m i ghty dollar." It is stamped public policy. Itis im praised, by our . statesm them selves, upon all d epartments of the uponennur gain and pecunia r y profit a re the public sersice.

Let us est the e i gn ifi eancy o f it, Difie any one believe that a Pythagoras, is Solon, or a Lycurgus, by the mere force of their character and intellect, in their poverty arid mewl array, could coretnarial the reverence and power in Eng land th ey d id in their own age and country ? Would a Diogenes, With no freehold - but a tub, and iii a ragged coat, receive that horneee to his influence with the court try of a visit from the Duke of Wellington which would be the parallel of that et Alexander the Great. Socrates, the son of Sophroniscus, lived in a hovel, was meanly c l a d, fared hard, and lived in penury. Yet Plato sought Alcibiades revered, idoliFied hisn, Athens hung on his liee, and her greatest bowed to his authority. What would his "three pair back," and his "clouted shoes," his - hard fare and empty penis!, do for him at Oxford or on Manchester Exchanges If Paul knocked at the gate olLambeth Palace, world Canterbury so much as hear him as Felix did ; and if even the greatest teacher were to "reason from the Scriptures" a t W • estmirister Abbey in his carpenter's dress, does any one - doubt how the hiaailea would deal with him? This is not the fault solely. of the world, the ignorant, the vulgar. It is, in fact, the result rathe r of the mean atme sod sordid views of life of the Upper Ten Thou sand, the men who are regarded as great. Heroes now look to a Peerage and a pension as the sole purpose of heroism. Think of Cincinnatus, Hannibal, Cato, Epa rainonda,, Belisarius; compare them with Marlborough, Wellington, Blenheim, Strathfieldsaye ! It was with lifficuity that Burns could be prevailed upon to accept noney as the wages of inspiration ; but Scott set up Pegasus to auction. Contempt of riches, contentment with scanty appliances, the philosophy of the great men Jf old, elevated them to a level beyond the reach of worldly conditions, made wealth be held at its proper value, raised man above money. John, crying in the wil derness, faring on its fruits and clothed meanly, was so received by the people as to be formidable to Herod. The apostles, fishermen, tent-makers —their Master, the carpenter—wielded the "democratic" and " fulmin'd over Greece." Even now the secret of the social power of the Romish priesthood, or of the Free Kirk ministers, is that they prove that they prefer their Master's work to their worldly wages. We gabble about the influence of capital ; we rant Red Republicanism and denounce the " money power"—what is its power but the homage we have the folly to pay to it ? How can we wonder at Fraud, forgery, embezzlement, when society places men in the scale of distinction in the ratio of their incomes ; when any knave or fool may, by swindling or stagging, or gambling, or cooking accounts, thrust himself above the best citizen and the wisest man ; and when any honest man who values money no more than its true worth is thought eccentric, looked down upon, and made of no account. Redpatb, in the eyes of the nobleman who grasped his hand and called him " my dear fellow," was "the best soul living," solely by his good dinners and his splendid furniture. Let men respect themselves—dare to be poor—weigh nobody by their purse, but only by their worth and wisdom, and at last the world will come to do so too. It is time that all good men set themselves resolutely to discountenance the worship of the golden calf; to con team by precept and example the sumptuary spirit of the age, and the sordid grovelling soul of modern soci ety. Do this, and the world will be guided by the wisest and governed by the best ; do it not, and Robsons, and Redpaths, and "the almighty dollar" will overwhelm the nat.on in a chaos of masterful dishonesty, and the growing triumph of successful fraud. MR. BUCRANAIV'S PROBABLE POLICY, FOBEIGN AND DOMESTIC. (From the Nevi York Jerald.) Our independent newspapers are beginning to specu late pretty freely upon the prospects of 4r. Buchanan's Administration, his probable policy, foreign and do mestic, the composition of his Cabinet, and his dis tribution of the spoils. Our democratic organs, North and South, deprecate these speculations as intrusive and impertinent ; but the various factions and cliques of the party are none the less interested or active on that account in reference to the controlling principles and influences of the incoming Administration. The ultra Southern disunion clique, here and there, arethro w ing out their reminders of " pledges" and " obliga tions," and their hints of rule or ruin, while the opposi tion anti-slave: y ultras of the North are preaching the border ruffianism of poor Pierce, and the filibustering of the Ostend manifesto and the Cincinnati platform as the inevitable charts and compass of Mr. Pierce's democratic successor. The Northern conservative wing of demo cracy, on the other hand, in ♦iew of the heavy and.sug gestive popular Northern vote for Fremont, are inclined to the opinion that Mr. Buchanan, in order to restore his party to a respectable footing in the Northern States, will studiously avoid those slavery extending schemes of the Southern disunion nigger drivers upon which poor Pierce has has so ignominiously foundered. In these various conjectures and speculations there are certain things which are pretty clear, and others which are not so very transparent. For our part we feel assured that it is the present intention of Mr. Buchanan to give the country a conservative and conciliatory administra tion in his domestic and foreign policy, and not a career of lawless border ruffianism at home and reckless filibus tering abroad, for the purpose of extending the area of Southern States and the political power of the South in Congress. We have no doubt of the lawful and honour able inclinations of Mr. Buchanan, for we fully believe that he will endeavour from the outset to take that course best calculated to allay our domestic sectional excitements upon slavery, and best adapted, in our fo reign relations, to secure the respect and confidence of foreign Powers, American and European. The especial subject which trenches most prominently upon the misgivings of all parties and factions is the Kansas imbroglio, and the important question whether the destiny of Kansas under Mr. Buchanan's Adminis tration will be her admission into the Union as a free State or slave State. Our Southern ultras of the dis union and Southern Confederacy scheme of Jefferson Davis—Mr. Pierce's Secretary of War—of Atchison, Governor Wise, Senators Mason, Slidell, and others, whose policy is rule or ruin, expect confidently the issue in Kansas to result in favour of slavery, in the fulfilment of the coercive measures against the Free-state settlers, thus far pursued by Mr. Pierce and his ruffian officials and mercenaries. In this view, the first duty of Mr. Buchanan will be the repudiation of this Southern disunion faction, which, in rising to the control of the democratic party under Pierce, has within three short years brought it to the verge of destruetion. In dismissing this disunion and demoralising faction Mr. Buchanan will but imitate the example of General Jackson in 1829 against Mr. Cal houn and his mischief-scheming nullification clique of that day. This step taken, the next will be a practical suspension of the ruffian policy of Pierce in Kansas, in an honest enforcement of the organic law of the terri tory. Under this law it is open to settlers of all sec .tions, all nations, and all opinions, slavery or anti-sla very ; and it is ordained that when these settlers shall proceed to organise a State constitution, it shall rest with them to determine upon the establishment of slavery h), or its exclusion from, the commonwealth. The policy of Mr. Buchanan, therefore, upon this subject is so plain and simple that he can hardly fail to adopt it. We feel perfec Ay satisfied, from the number of free state settlers in Kansas, in spite of all Mr. Pierce's coercive efforts to expel or exterminate them—from the superior facilities which the unencumbered Free state emigrant possesses over the emigrant embarrassed with his slaves—from the geographical situation, climate, and productions of the territory, and from the extensive orga nisation of the Northern Kansas aid societies—that it will only require an honest enforcement of the Kansas organic law again t all impertinent border ruffians and outside interferences to secure the destiny of Kansas in behalf of free labour, and in the decisive exclusion of the Southern institution of slavery. The South, having ac cepted this issue, upon those terms, cannot object to its legitimate solution should it go against them. Undoubt edly the disunion clique of Davis, Wise, Atchison, and Co. would raise a violent howling over the result ; but in being dismissed from their late despotic position in the Democratic party their howling would be as impotent as that of a snarling cur with his teeth extracted. On the other hand, this solution of the Kansas question would put an end to the present powerful Northern Republican party, and do much to re-establish the Northern de mocracy upon their ancient footing of strength and respectability. In reference to Cuba, we stand entirely prepared for such an interpretation of the Ostend manifesto of Mr. Buchanan as will speedily quiet the fears of Spain aad her allies and the uneasiness of our commercial conservatives. Undoubtedly Mr. Buchanan, like every other president, from J. Quincy Adams down, will consider the acquisi- tion of the island of Cuba as a most desirable thing. He regards that island, as we all regard it, as the key of the Gulf of Mexico, and as the natural lock and key of our Southern commerce and our Southern Gulf coast. But Mr. Buchanan will be in no hurry to seize this desirable possession by a filibustering foray, nor by any of those dexterous expedients of unprincipled propagandists of liberty or slavery that would imperil the peace or the honour of the country. And so in reference to Mexico and Central America. Towards the former we have every reason to expect that Mr. Buchanan will seek rather to restore the. confidence we have lost than to widen the breach by licences to filibusters or insidious diplo mats of the filibustering sort. In regard to Central America we have the same confidence in the honourable and pacific inclinations of the President elect. We think he will find sonic other medium for the interpretation of the Monroe doctrine than Gen. Walker or Pierre Soule, Walker's ultra-Southern confidential prime Minister. Such are our views of the probable domestic and fo reign policy of Mr. Buchanan upon the prominent issues of the day.' Nor do we speak altogether at random. Our impressions are derived from our knowledge of the man, and from other sources of informatfon entitled to respect. In advance, however, of any official definition of his policy, he will be called upon to designate his Cabinet, and this task he will delay until the electoral c :lieges shall have officially declared his election, and settled it beyond the possibility of a dohbt from Southern disunion intrigues to dragoon him into sub mission. But with the official determination of his e!ection, Mr. Buchanan will deliberately proceed to the responsible duties of his great office in the appointment of a Cabinet which, in itself, will be the interpreta tion of his wuole policy and the key to his success or his humiliation and the final destruction of his party. His Cabinet must be a unit, aad a Conservative unit, and the instant he shall discover an intriguing border ruffian or filibuster among them, or that cliques and coteries are at , work with th em i n t h e kit c h en, i t w iil b e his d ut y to follow the example of Jackson, and try a new set of ' 1 1111 - Fr om V an Buren down to Pierce, t h e l essons of wily in the submission of the President to an intriguing to I s , up .

December, 1 856," T he weight of the article is 161 ez,—..Brigitton *me*. THE PARLIAMENT-STREET MURDER. Since the condemnation of the wretched man, Robert Marley, for the murder of Ric ' Cope, in Parliament street, he has conducted him in a very satisfactory manner ; and appears quite resi ed to his fate, which he seems all along to have considered inevitable. The culprit appears to have received a good education, and to have been eonnected with a family of very great re spectability, but in consequence of his wild habits they vrere compelled to discard him, and he enlisted in the 7th Hussars, served with that regiment in the Kaffir war, and evinced great bravery upon several occasions when before the enemy. He was visited on Tuesday by a female relative, a married sister. The interview was very short, and for obvious reasons need not be further alluded to. Marley was long known to the police. He was originally convicted summarily by a magistrate at one of the police courts, and was subsequently tried for housebreaking, and sentenced to be transported, but sub sequently obtained his liberty under the ticket-of-leave system, but he states he had no chance of obtaining any employment, even if he had been disposed to work, and he was compelled again to resort to his evil courses to obtain a subsistence. In all the conversations Marley has had with the offi cials of the gaol of Newgate, he has on every ocrasion expressed his satisfaction with the manner in which his trial was conducted, and also that Mr. Sleigh, the gen tleman who was assigned to act as his counsel by the humanity of the Sheriffs, did everything that was pos sible for him, but he says that he felt his oase was hope less, and that he was not at all surprised at the verdict that was delivered by the jury, and that as he had been the means of destroying life he was prepared to sacri• five his own in return. It should not be inferred that there is any bravado exhibited by the culprit ; on the contrary, his demeanour is very decorous, but he is evidently a determined man, who has calmly weighed all the circumstances, and who is prepared for the worst. It has been stated that immediately after the sentence the prisoner's clothes were taken off him, and the prison dress substituted, but there is no truth in this statement. The gaol authorities have the power to take this step if they consider it necessary but it is never resorted to unless, as in the case of Palmer, there is a suspicion that poison may be secreted about the gar ments, and Marley still retains the same dress he wore at the trial. During the da4 one officer is in the cell with him, and at night there are two. He converses freely, and from his tone- and demeanour no one would imagine that he was under sentence of death, and that his days were numbered. It is almost needless to state that the prisoner, not withstanding the ingenious manner in which his learned counsel argued the question at the trial, has never for a single moment since his conviction attempted to deny that his was the hand that inflicted the deadly injuries upon the poor man Cope, but he persists in asserting that he had no accomplices whatever in the matter, the whole affair was entirely unpremeditated, and that he had no thought of being concerned in such an affair a quarter of an hour before the occurrence took place. It will be remembered that the principal witness, Lerigo, while passing the shop, heard groans from the inside, and saw two or three men standing close by, and when he inquired what was the matter, they told him it was only a man and wife quarrelling, apparently to throw him off his guard and induce him not to interfere ; and these men subsequently rendered no assistance to appre hend the prisoner, and from these circumstances it was very naturally inferred that they were concerned with the prisoner in the outrage. Marley, however, declares positively that this was not the case, and states that he alone was concerned in the affair, and that accidentally passing by and seeing that it was a small shop with no one in .it but the deceased, who was appa rently a weak and diminutive man, the thought struck him that it was a good opportunity to com mit a robbery, and he went in with that intention, but he declares most solemnly that he never intended to use any more ♦iolence than would be necessary to render Cope helpless, and to enable him to escape with his ex pected booty. He admits that having made some inquiry of the unfortunate deceased to take off his attention, he suddenly struck him with the life-preserver ; but the blow did not have the intended effect, and as he was fearful that the alarm raised by Cope would cause his detection, he was induced to give him several other vio lent blows before his victim was reduced to unconscious ness, and there is no doubt that it was the last blow so inflicted that fractured the skull and depressed the bone, and was the cause of the fatal result. The culprit states that in the excitement of the moment., he had no oppor tunity of making very close observation, and seeing the basket—which, it will be remembered, contained a cod fish, and which had been placed in a blue bag—he sup posed it to contain some valuable property, and snatched it up and made off with it ; but finding it impeded his flight, he threw it away shortly before he arrived at Bridge-street and he asserts that there is no foundation for the supposition that it was handed by him to an ac co►nplice. With regard to the fact of the possession of such an instrument as a life preserver, the prisoner says that it is no indication of an intention to destroy life, as such weapons are constantly carried by persons who are in the habit of committing offences of this class, that he had it always about him, and that the only use for it was to stun the person intended to be robbed. The execution will take place on Monday next, the 15th instant. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—Dec. 6. IN THE MATTER OF EDWARD WILSON. This insolvent, the keeper of a coffee-house in New Charles-Areet, Goswell-street, applied under the Protec tion Act. Mr. Reed opposed for the holder of a bill of ex 'change given for a bet lost on the turf. The insolvent, in his examination, stated that he had lost considerably on the Doncaster St. Leger, on which he gave the bill in question. He was agent for making bets, and had been connected with the turf since he was a boy in the stables. He had betted on commission for various gentlemen, and left off the business when he became a " defaulter," which hap pened on the 21st Sept., which was the settling day for the St. Leger. He had done a little since, and was now keeping a small coffee-shop. He was a bet ting agent. He had put down all the bets he owed that could be " legally recovered," because he had given security in bills and acknowledgments. He bad not put down other bets, and the reason was not that they would make his debts beyond 3001., as an applicant under the Protection Act. His debts on the tick dule were about 1301. He did not figure at Den caster now, as he was a defaulter. The bets he had not inserted were "debts of honour." Mr. Commissioner Phillips—What is a " debt of honour" Insolvent—lt is this here, your honour. A " debt of honour" is a debt between two gentlemen without any acknowledgment. He had not filed his betting books ; they had been destroyed, and used to wrap up " ham and beef " when he kept an eating-house. He described that persons on the turf who did not pay were scratched. They were defaulters, and their bets were off. Mr. Commissioner Phillips—l should think the turf is full of "scratches." (Laughter.) The Insolvent said it had been very bad with them of late. Mr. Commissioner Phillips —I ara very glad of it. Mr. Reed asked the Court whether the act was meant for such cases ! Mr. Commissioner Phillips adjourned the case to in sert the " debts of honour." It wag probable the debts would exceed 3001. Protection was renewed. THE GREAT GOLD ROBBERY. After the positive manner in which Mr. Bodkin an nounced the speedy capture of Tester at the commence. ment of the proceedings, when Pierce and Burgess were brought up for re-examination before the Lord Mayor oa Tuesday last, preceded as that announcement bad been by ono of a similar character made by Mr. Bodkin at the Mansion-house the week before, some little sur prise will no doubt be excited when it is stated that Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Rees, the solicitor for the prosecution, the authorities of the South-Eastern Railway Company, and the metropolitan detectives, have all been upon a wrong scent for some lame past in looking for their man in Sweden, when he was in reality in this country, and even under their very noses in this great metropolis. There is, however, every reason to believe that such has been the case, and that Tester for this month past has been quietly hiding himself away in London, while Thornton and Smith, the detectives, were in hot pursuit of him in a foreign country. Tester, it is almost needless to repeat, was for some years in the employ of the South-Eastern Railway Com pany, and, in fact, continued so for several months after the perpetration of that gigantic robbery in which the evidence of Agar, the convict witness, has recently impli cated him as one of the four active principals, if not, indeed, the original contriver of the daring design. The robbery took place in May, 1855, and in the month of September following Tester being offered an appointment as district traffic superintendent upon the Royal Swedish Railway, at a much higher salary than he was then receiving from the South-Eastern Railway Company, accepted the ap pointment and went over to Sweden, carrying with him testimonials and letters of recommendation speaking of Lisa in the highest terms of official praise. Some of these documents had been for some time in his possession, but others—and among them papers bearing the signa tures of officers of high standing on the South-Eastern Railway—bore current dates, although it has since been said that his collusion with the gold thieves was from the first suspected. He continued to 411 the situation thus obtained in a manner satisfactory to his new employers up to nearly the middle of November last. In all probability, like the other parties to the robbery—if such he really were —he had come to the conclusion that all risk of disco very was over after such a lapse of time ; but no sooner were Pierce and Burgess, his alleged accomplices, in custody, and the first public proceedings in the prosecu tion of the ease taken, than Tester, either from private information or the reports which appeared in the news vapors, became aware of his danger, and took steps to place himself beyond the reach of any officers of justice who might be sent to capture him. As is well known, there is no convention for the delivery of parties so ac cused between this country and Sweden, and therefore, under ordinary circumstances, he might h ave s t aye d i n that country without fear f police interference ; but it is said that he received a hint that his continuance in his situation was out of the question, and that neither the railway officials nor the Government of the country would countenance his evasion of justice. Under these circumstances he quitted Sweden secretly more than three weeks ago, and, coming direct to England —it is even said to London—watched the proceedings in thecase —until at last, either being conscious of his innocence or aware that ultimate escape was hopeless, he accepted the advice of a solicitor with whom he had put him self in communication, and cause to a resolution to sur render end stand his trial. In consequence of this reso lution Mr. Rees, thii solicitor for the prosecution, was formally notified on Saturday that Tester 'would give himself up to meet the charge against him on Wednes day next, the day appointed for the further examination of Pierce and Burgess. Upon that occasion he will have the right of insisting that Agar and all the other wit nesses hitherto examined shall be again put into the witness-box ; but, acting upon the advice of his solici tor, he will, no doubt, waive that right and be content with having the depositions read over in his presence. As several more examinations wul be necessary to cons pleto the case, the prisoners cannot be included in the Old Bailey Calendar before the January sessions of the Central Criminal Court, wb.ich as the Great Northern Railway frauds are also lilsely then to be on the list, will be of a protracted durraion. The services of Mr. Serjeant Ballantine are to, be retained, if possible, on behalf of Tester, while Burgess and Puree will have the best available talent of the bar employed in their defence. Tester about t years ago married a very respctable young woman, by whom. he has ono child, a daughter, about a twelvemonth old, and within the last fortnight his wje has borne him twine, both of whom are living. It will be remembered that on Tuesday last Mr. Lewis complained that Burgess had, suffered in his health through the closeness of his, confinement in Newgate, and requested that he might be allowed more frequent opportunities of (akin?: air and exercise. Oa that occa sion the Lord Mayor de sired that every proper privilege should be extended to t he -prisoners, and since that time no relaxation has been denied which, consistent with their safe custody and the due preservation of prison discipline, could be granted. EDITH FRANKHE ART ; OR, THE BARONET'S DAUGHTER. —We understand that a novel of fashionable life, in which the characters are drawn from persons well known iu London society, has just been published by Messrs. Saunders and Otiey. The baronet's daughter, from which the work takes its title, is a young lady who has been as much distinguished by her personal attractions as by the homage universally paid to them. Verb sap. Those who are au-.courant with the on dits of last season will easily recogixise the heroine. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.—Dec. 6. WESTERN CICCUIT.—SALISBMIY. • (Before Mr. Justice Coleridge.) J. Brewer was indicted for forging and uttering a re ceipt for 291. 10s. 4d. at Devizes. Mr. W. Slade was counsel for the prosecutor, and Mr. Arney defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was pay-sergeant in the Royal Wilts Militia. In June the prisoner was asked by the commanding officer for the bills of the month of May, he bad been asked several times for them. On the 16th of Jane the prisoner gave his officer a receipt purporting to be signed by a man named Medland. The officer told him he did not think it was Medland's signature, but the prisoner said it was. He said he paid 271., the bill was for 291.105. 4d., and he supposed that as the bill was receipted Medland intended to give him the 21. 10s. 4d. The receipt was not in the handwriting of Med land, bat was believed by three of the officers of the Militia to be in the handwriting of the prisoner. Med , land had not been paid the bill. Medland said h e fre quently mad gratuities to the sergeants, as some required it. Mr. Justice Coleridge told Medland this was an ex ceedingly bad practice, as, of course, he must charge a higher price for his goods. The prisoner had been in the service 23 years, and was discharged with a pension of 23. a-day and a certificate of good character, and he had served 7 years in the Wilts constabulary, whence he had come also with a good character. .Mr. Arney, for the prisoner, said his answer to th e charge was that h e h a d sen t edland 27/. by post, and had received the receipt by post. The officers scarcely knew anything of the handwriting of the prisoner, and only expressed their opinion that the receipt in question was written by the prisoner. The learned Judge having summed up the case, The jury returaed a verdict of guilty of uttering, with a strong recommendation to mercy. ' Sentence--Two years' imprisonment with hard labour. THE CONDEMNED CONVICTS AT WINCHESTER. We can hardly imagine anything more dreadful than the position of these wretched men. We must take it that there is no doubt as to their guilt, at the same time there are some matters which strike the mind. They are foreigners, not understanding or speaking English. They are brought to this country in custody and placed in gaol. They have no friends—no kindly hand to assist them— no one comes forward to defend or advise them. The learned judge, with characteristic humanity, when he arrived at Winchester, and finding that these men were not defended, at once spoke to a gentleman at the bar and requested him to take the case into his hands, and to defe n d the se men ; b u t thi s gent l eman did not see the prisoners to know what their story was or what line of defence they would wish taken, nor bad he 'any instructions from an attorney. The men are placed at the bar—everything is done for them by the learned advocate that he could do, con sidering that he had no instructions. When the pri soners are convicted the first question is put to them. They are asked what they have to say why judgment to die according to the law should not be passed upon them. They then want to make their statement And tell their story, but they are theft told, and correctly told, according to the ordinary rules of our criminal trials, that the question asked them only applies to matters of law, and not of fact, and that if they wish to make any statement they must make it to the pro per quarter (the Secretary of State). They are then condemned to die, and are taken back to the prison. The time has then arrived for them to make their statement, if their miserable state of mind enables them to recollect that part of the judges's observa tions. But how are they to do this ? They are, of course, placed in separate cells, but they have the as sistance of an excellent man, a Catholic priest, whose chief aim, of course, is to lead their minds from earthly to heavenly things, and perhaps all the obser vations of the judge are lost sight of. They have no one to communicate with them—there is no one in the pri son who can speak their language, ne one who can assist them with advice or consolation or friendly converse in the absence of the priest—they can only meditate upon their dreadful fate, and remember that the day which is to deprive them of life and remove them to another world is fast approaching. In the course of this fortnight of silent musing and horrible suTense the idea in their mind is that they have not had a fair chance beoauee their statement has not been heard. In all probability that statement would not change their position, but, in mercy to them, should they not be afforded the means of making it ?—for, be it recollected that the judge invited them to make it to the proper quarter. OXFORD CIRCUIT—STAFFORD. (Before Mr. Baran Watson.) William Freeman, Thomas Bloor, Charles Wright, and William Shaw, charged with night poaching at Wolseley on the 12th of July last, and with assaulting Lord Lichfield's keepers on that occasion, yesterday pleaded guilty to assaulting Henry Martin, and occasion ing actual bodily harm. It appeared that the prisoners, with three other per sons, one of whom had turned approver, left the neigh bourhood of Uttoxeter on the night in question with nets and dogs, and proceeded to Wolseley, a distance of several miles, and there laid their nets on the side of the public road leading from Wolseley to Stafford, and drove rabbits into them. The adjoining laud was the property of Sir Charles M. Wolseley, but, by an arrangement be tween him and the Earl of Lichfield, the latter exercised the right of shooting over that part of the Wolseley estates, and on the night of the 12th July a keeper of his lorip's, assisted by keepers of Sir C. Wolseley and the Marquis of Anglesey, being on the watch for poachers, caught the prisoner Bloor in the act of taking a rabbit out of the net, and handcuffed him. A. deadly cen t'. ct ensued between the keepers and the rest of the poachers, and Henry Martin, the Marquis of Angle sey's keeper, received severe injuries from stones thrown at him, his teeth being knocked out, and his jaw fractured. The poachers escaped and carried Bloor with them, knocking off his handcuffs on the road home. They were subsequently captured by police constables. His Lordship, having taken time to consider what sentence to pass on the prisoners, now ordered them to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three years, expressing a hope that it would have the effect of 'oreak- ing up the large gang of which it was evident the pre. Boners formed a part. GLOUCESTER. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) Mary Yarnell, aged 30, was charged with the wilful murder of Diana Yarnell, her infant child, aged four months, at Tewkesbury, on the 15th of September. Mr. Powell appeared for the prosecution; Mr Skinner, at the request of the learned judge, undertook to watch the case for the prisoner. This case appeared to be a very peculiar one. The prisoner, as soon as she came i nto th e d oc k, b egan talking incessantly, and the burden of her tongue was complaints of her neighbours, who had preferred against her a charge of neglect, which had resulted in the death of one child by starvation and filth, and of another, a stepchild aged seven years, by neglect and a kick on the back. The p r i soner cont i nue d h er comp l a i nts throug h out the trial, a b us i ng - mi the witnesses as they appeared in the box, and calling them by opprobrious names. Mr. Powell having stated the facts of the came, called the following witnesses : F. J. Prior said,—l am surgeon to the Ten vkesbury Union. I attended the prisoner a fe v hours after the birth of the child Diaua. It was a healay child. The mother had milk, plenty of milk. The child began to fall off in between a week and a fortnight. I was called to her house, arid I went. I asks id her why she did not suckle her child ? I told her she must suckle it, or she would get into trouble. Sb e said she did suckle it. It was ways filthily dirty and. neglected. I told her it ought to be kept clean. I saw her every now and then. I al Kaye remonstrated with her, but could not get the child properly suckled or properly cleaned. 1 thought it would lead to the d , 'ath of the child, and I took the coroner, Mr. Thomas„ to it. He said, in her presence, it was very horrible.. We both remonstrated. The child lost its eyes froze t ophthalma. The sight was lost ;by neglect. The cl oild was not brought to the infirmary, and I could not ,ee it when I called. Ophthalmia is increased by net ;led. When brought to the workhouse it was in a west ed state, and very dirty, both the olothes and the I ,ody. It was properly nursed, but died in about nine days after. I attribute the death to the mother's neglec G. I have seen food in the house.' Cross-exavoiaed—lf a child is not sack' ,td by its mother it. will generally die of marasmus, or st srvation. There was no post mortem examination. I .. did not think it necessary. Ido not believe the child bad any disease of the heart or lungs. A large proportion of children die under one year of age, and occasionally of marasmus. Ophthaliisia will sometimes cause the loss of sight, even where there is medical care. Occasionally the mother's milk will not agree with the child. Sometimes, but not frequently, wecntirses are recommended on that account. Ido not in general approve Of wetnurses. When milk exists at all, I believe that is the proper food. Re-examined—l have been in practice since 1840. Milk-and-water is a good substitute for mother's milk. By the Judge—lf I had opened the body I should not have found anything to alter my opinion, I believe. I should not have found any evidence of inarasmus which I did not see on the exterior. The symptom of mum- ' mus in this case was emaciation. The child sank gra dually. A child might have life enough to live for nine days, and yet not be brought round by good treatment. I don't believe the mesenteric Wands were affected, be cause the belly was not swollen. That disease causes emaciation, and is constitutional in some children. The ophthalmia of maw is is not constitutional. Toe prison er's state of intellect is peculiar. The state of her mind is not such as to warrant sending her to an asylum, but she is not fit to have the care of her family. Patience Witts said—l live in the North Quay-road at Tewkesbury. I have known the prisoner two years. I knew her when she lived in Wilks's-alley, before the child Diana was born. I saw the child six weeks after it was born. Her husband is a chairmaker. The child was in a very filthy state when I saw it. It was very low. I washed some things for her, and told her to wash the child. She said she would. The next week I saw the child ;it seemed lower. She said she had no milk. I told her she was serving that as she had served the other. She said "No, she would do better by it." I washed some more clothes and took them home. She was feeding the child. I saw the child's eyes bad. She said she washed the child's eyes with some lotion she had been begging. The child was getting lower. I said I should telt Mr. Prior she was using that baby the same as she did the other. She said she did not care if I told 20 Mr. Priors. I did not see then whether she had any milk. I saw the child when she removed to Nelson's-alley. It was very filthy. The child's person was in holes from filth and neglect. I considered the prisoner was not so right at some points as she should be. She had a simple way of talking and doing things. She did not know how to manage a child. She did not know how to dress it, or to wash it, and was afraid to put pins for fear of hurt ing it. She once said she wished them both dead, for she could not bear the sight of them. Cross-examined— Her temper was very impatient. She ran aground all her neighbours, as she has done me for doing good to her child. Charlotte Hampton said I live in Nelson-alley, Tewkesbury. I first saw the prisoner when the baby was crying. I put the baby to her breast. When I went away the child began to cry. I went back and said " If you won't suckle it why don't yon feed it l" She said she had no victuals. I gave her a can of victuals, but I saw it again in the same state. She began to wash the child, and rubbed it so hard that I took ii and washed it. It was in such a dirty state it was not fit to touch. She said she was washing it, because the neighbours had made a stir about it. I sometimes could not make out what she said. I should not think she was able to take care of a child ; she rubbed it as she would a floor. Mr. Prior recalled—The prisoner has had two chil dren. She has acted as a married woman in the ma. nagement of her household. She has conversed ration. ally with me. When I have told her what to do she would do it. I foresaw this, and therefore I advised that an inquest should be held. Cross-examined—She had no power to bring up a family. It is not imbecility, but weakness of mind. She would be deficient in arrangement and foresight. She had no tenacity of purpose. By the Judge—ln signing a certificate you must assign some delusions. Thomas Hicks said—l am the surgeon at the Glou cester Gaol. I have seen the prisoner every day since her committal. I always considered that she knew right from wrong. Mr. Baron Bramwell here observed that the govern ment of lunatic asylums wai founded on the patients to some extent knowing right from wrong. Witness continued—She appeared to have a certain degree of intellect. She is of weak intellect and obsti nate temper, a person you could neither lead nor drive. She was capable of knowing that the deprivation of food would kill a child, and was wrong. She made inquiries after her child, and seemed to feel an interest in it for some reason; I don't know for what reason. During the progress of this case the learned judge ex pressed his opinion that the evidence would not support the charge of murder. The only question would be, whether the prisoner had been guilty of manslaughter. His lordship thought there was great difficulty in the case, arising from the prisoner's peculiar state of mind. Mr. Skinner, in addressing the jury, contended, first, that the child might have died of natural disease ; and, secondly, that there was no wrongful neglect in the prisoner, as she was manifestly incapable of taking care of a child. Mr. Baron Bramwell, in summing up the evidence, said the case was one of some difficulty. His lordship told the jury that if they were of opinion the child died from the prisoner's neglect, they must then consider whe ther or not she knew that that neglect was wrong, and, further, whether the prisoner knew the nature and con sequences of her omission. The jury found that the child died by the prisoner's neglect, but they said they could not agree as to whether she knew that that neglect was wrong. Mr. Baron Bramwell told the jury they must make up their minds on that point. If the prisoner knew that the neglect was wrong she was guilty of manslaughter ; but, though she knew it was wrong, yet, if she did not know the nature and consequences of the neglect, the jury should acquit her, on the ground of insanity. The jury found the prisoner not guilty, on the ground of insanity. Mr. Skinner, for the prisoner, olaimed her acquittal on another indictment, which charged her with the man slaughter of her stepson, George Yarnell, a child seven years of age, by kicking it on the back. Mr. Powell said be could not consent to that course ; he was willing that the indictment should not be tried. Mr. Baron Bramwell said, perhaps the case had better be tried. It was then proved by the witness Patience Witts that in the beginning of September last she saw the prisoner kick the child on the loins, saying it was naughty. The child was taken to the workhouse on the 6th of Sept., aflicted with curvature of the spine, and died on the 3d of October. On a post-mortem examinaticn it was found that one of the ribs was broken, and turned in upon the lungs, which were much inflamed. The surgeon said the child died of inflammation of the lungs, but he could not say positively whether the disease was caused by the kick or by natural causes. The jury ultimately acquitted the prisoner. Mr. Baron Bramwell ordered the prisoner to be de tained in custody during her Majesty's pleasure. This case concluded the business of the assizes for this county at a quarter to 2 p.m. SONBFIEAOT TO MURDER THE GOVERNOR OF THE BRISTOL GAOL. the So ß m ri e st s o e l n p s v a i t e i o o n n er w e, as to created r t d h u e r g i n o g v e t r h n e o s r e , assizes er b d y . the discovery of a conspiracy, f orme d among som e of ner, on his return with them from Gloucester to Bristol. It appeared that previous to leaving the gaol at Bristol the prisoners had all been strictly searched, to see that they had nothing about them. On their arrival at Glou cester, and while the prisoners were awaiting their trial, one of them, whose name we purposely omit, sent for Mr. Gardner and said• he should not like to see him in jured, and then disclosed the plan which had been formed by some of the prisoners (three of whom were ticket-of leave men) to murder him. He said that Thos. Vowles (a ticket-of-leave man) had a stone about his person, with which he intended to kill the governor on the return (Vowles) should be con jvoi c o t r e n d e . y to H B e r s i a s i t d o l t , biant c vwle e s a h he would be able to obta in p ossession of the keys of the t h oug ht that by so doing handcuffs, and so let the prisoners go, and that two others of the prisoners were in the plot. Vowles was then searched, and a large stone was found upon him, which he must have managed . to secure while passing through the court-yard of the gaol at Bristol, where some building was going on. It may be as well to state that the ultimate design of the prisoners would have been frustrated, as, though Mr. Gardner always accom panies his prisoners in the carriage, he makes it a rule never to carry the keys. Vowles (who was a ticket-of.leave man) pleaded •lt gut y to a charge of burglary committed in conjunction with his father, _ Mr. Baron Bramwell, before passing sentence, exa mined Mr. Gardner upon the facts above stated, and then sentenced the pri s oner to be transported for life. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.— Duraws, DEc. 4. a in lo g ne in a to her John Brown was indicted for rape. The Hon. A. Liddell prosecuted ; Mr. Price appeared for the prisoner. The prosecutrix, who gave her evidence in a very clear and modest inanner, is a married woman, but at the time t h h os o p f ita S l, ep w t a e g mb li e v r i , n o g w roadside cottage about five miles from Darlington, on husbandof this o b ff e e i n n c g e, the Staindrop road, known as the Killerby-tollbar. She went to bed about 10 o'clock with her children, and about an hour afterwards the prisoner broke into the house by prizing open the door with a rail, and com mitted the offence with which he was charged. Mr. Price having subjected the prosecutrix to a very severe cress-examination, but failed to shake her testi itniletble7 inooy in the slightest degree, declined to address the jury ; Who a t once found the prisoner guilty; and H e was sentenced to he transported for life. FACTS ABOUT THE AMERICAN PRESIDENTS,—Four of the first seven were from Virginia. Two of the same name were from Massachusetts, and the seventh was from Tennessee. All but o ne were 66 years old on leaving offiee, having served two terms • and one of them, who had served b ut one term, would have been 66 years ohl at the end of mmtner. Three of the seven died on 4th July, and two of them on the same day and year. Two of them were on the sub-committee of three that drafted the D ec l aration of Independence, and these two died on the same day and year, and on the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and just half-a-century from the day of declaration. The maws of three of the seven ended in son, yet neither of thuss transmitted his name to a son. In respect to the names of all, it may be said, in conclusion, the initials of two of the seven were the same ; and of two others. that they were the same ; and the initials of still two others, that they were the same The remaining one, who stands alone in this particul ar , s t an d s alone also in th e l ove and admiration of hi s countrymen and the civil i se d world—Washington. Of the first five only one had a son, and that son was I also president. PRICES OF SHARES. Prom the Official LTst. ÜBLISIIED EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY EVEN'IN LONDON, FRIDAY, DEC• 5, 1856. CANALS.
