THE UNIVERSAL PASSION. (Front the Dispatch.) It is estimated that the application of steam and ma- Chinery to manufactures has prac . dcaliy given to these Wanda 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 as 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 our markets, and afforded us access to extensive additions be the supply of the chief raw materials of manufacture. These agencies have grown upon us almost insensibly. It is not until we rest upon cur etatl 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 than she was a century ago ; that the population, as a wh2le, can command more than ten times the conveni encZ, comfort, and luxury which their ancestors could in the year of grace 175 G. 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 iu lose time and at less cost than the middle class voyages ie a Margate in a boy ; a letter from Penzance to Kirkwa ii at ld. in place of 55., and delivered in one-tenth of ti ze 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to America in a fortnight, or to India in a month, in place of 42 days or six months ; large retail stocks entirely superseded, and coals cheap in the remote interior ; the housemaid dressed more handsomely than the mistress used to be ; the exterior of the holiday me chanic undistinguishable 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 tae alchemist, and outstrips the most stupendous coteje eteores of science, or the most gorgeous imagery of the pcast. It was not to be expected that society should remain stationary during the progress of this traneitio . a of its outward conditions. We are, it is said, the crfretures of circumstances. This material cliange bee haft its moral parallel. If the world has moved, so also has the soul. The change in the architecture of the "tenement ofclay" has altered the spiritual character of its tenant. Tem pera mutantnr, et nos mutamur in iliis. 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 Mecseuas of a dinner ; the painter, limning his way out of a tavern bill, or dying "in the worst inn's worst room." Actors, artiste, 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 pudding, that is the real celebrity. A fine house, fine furniture, a dowry 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 hyeiologist and anatomist ? Why, chiefly to the man who has done least for either, awd most for himself ; the largest income is the index to the greatest doctor. What divine is there, who, if ale 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 re-vives around him ; lie seeks and he saves thousands VA ho were lost. What if a more lucrative but a less 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 his most de voted followers would not so much as think of any other way of getting him to remair, but that of subscribing to make up the difference. And this Bishops, utterly in competent for their duties, cannot resign uruler 6,0001. 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 in 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 couniry, in whose band is the rod of empire—how exalted is such a function ! In A muerica this is felt and understood ; to serve the State in au honourable capacity is a distinction reckoned wor thy of any pecuniary sacrifice. But amonest as, cash is the measure of value. A lawyer declines to be a judge because he "makes more at the bar ;" a merchant "can not afford" to be Chancellor of the Exchequer. Walpole ":as 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 Cornmissionership ; really we must do somethin g for him." It lathe 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 —i s • in the direction of money. A "tes timonial," a purse, a service of plate, an appointment, a pension for life, these, in one eternal tound the sheer sordid tinlind , testify to -counter character of the age. Every class conspires to cringe to " the almighty 'uagnify money ;all bow and public policy. It idiepres dollar." d It is stamped upon our by our statesmen them selves, upon all departmentssos, the public service. Sheer gain and pecuniary Pro fi t are sure of every office, from the temporal Judge to the e S t rcitual Pontiff. The farce is, that the lo m xu o r s i t oos sn , m a p o t aue upon measuri4ng I: l g . : u m their tastes, the dici in their styles of most fastidious', living, who insist u their osition by the money it brings, are the profeasionel classes, or con tractors, sprung from the lowest origin , born into the most penurious circ umstances, not • in the least degree entitled to give themselves any such airs, or to such sybarite indulgences. Bishops,doot require` ors, j u d ges l awyers , sons of saddlers , s hoem akers, country apothe - caries, provincial hucksters — why should each magnifi cence be so essential to the ambition of such a career, as that they should all dwell upon the cash i ncome as • the indispensable qua lification of their position I Can we wonder that with such an example, such an impress stamped upon the spirit of society by its natural leaders, its State policy, its governors, and chiefs, po. verty should be infamo us ? that Hudson should e a king, and fill his house a t Albert-gate with countesses 1 that wealth should be the measure of every man's pp. sition ? that men should be regarded, not by - what they are, but what they have ? that worth and wisdom should be of no account without income ? and that as money is the universal standard of character, fools and knaves should act on the faith of the sentiment rent, si possis recd, sed rent and that other ct genus ct virtus nisi cuna re,,vilior alga est ? Is it surprising that universal luxury should make men think that they cannot live in frugality and simplicity ; that llobsons an d Red p aths and Pauls and Gordons shduld become delirious with the universal fever ? Is all this-a truism or a truth ? Is it a mere triticality of the wiseacre, or the insight of the moralist ? Let us Zit the significancy of it. Does any one believe that a Pythagoras,o a Solon, or a Lycurgus, by the mere force their character and intellect, in their povertyand mean _array,_.conid command the reverence and power in Eng land they did in their own age and country ? Would a Dingenee, with no freehold but a tub, and in a ragged coat, receive that homage to his in • fluence with the coun try of a visit from the Dnke of Wellington which would be the parallel of that of Alexander the Great. Socrates, the son of Sophro n i acn e , lived in a hovel, was meanly clad, fared hard, and lived in hi m , Alcibiades revered, idolised YetAth hung Athens q ato sought , his lips, and her greatest bow e d to ; 11' authority.lV on What wo uld his " three pair ba c k," and his s his bard fare and em p t y purse, do for clouted - shoes, m o n Manchester Exchange ? If Paul knocked hl at at Oxford or of Lambeth Palace , would C anterbury so muchthe a gate hear him as Felix. did ; and if even the teachergreates: were to "reason from the Scriptures" at West • minster Abbey in his carpenter's dress, does any one doubt how the beadles would deal with him ? This is not the fault solely of the world, the ignorant, the vulgar. It is, in fact, th e r esul t ra t her of the mean aims and sordid views of life of the Upper Ten Thou sand, the men who are regarded as great. Heroe s now look to a Peerage and a pension as the sole purpose of THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, `DECEMBER 8, 1856 heroism.

Contempt of riches, contentment with scanty appliances, the philosophy of the great men of old, elevated them to a level beyond the , reach of worldly conilions, made wealth be held r..t its proper vAlue, raised man above money. John,.crsing in the wil d erness, faring on its fruits and r;l,3 4 ;theu meanly, was so r eceived by the people as to be I.r.na'Alable to Herod.

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 swi n dli ng or s t a gging, or gam bli ng , 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 wort:h is thought eccentric, looked down upon, and made of r o :A ccount.

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- temn 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 Redisaths, and "the almighty dollar" will overwhelm the nation in a chaos of masterful dishonesty, and the growing triumph of successful fraud. MR. BUCHANAN'S PROBABLE POLICY, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. (From the Nee York Prepaid.) Our independent newspapers are beginning to specu late pretty freely upon the prospects of Mr. 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 •f the incoming Administration. The ultra Southern disunion clique, here and there, arethrow ing out their reminders of " pledges" and " obliga tions," and their hints of rule or ruin, while the opposi tion anti-slavery 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 view 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 destruction. In dismissing this disunion and demoralising faction Mr. Buchanan will but, imitate the example of General Jackson in 1329 against Mr. Cal houn and his mischict-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. Tinder 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 in, 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.iy satisfied, from the number of free state settlers iu Kansas, in spite of all Mr. Pierce's coercive efforts to expel or exterminate them—from the superior fe.ciliies 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 orge 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 these 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 ; b u t 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 Reuses 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 asd her allies and the uneasiness of our commercial conservatives. Undoubtedly Mr. Buehanan, 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 cr 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 some 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 dleges shall have officially declared his election, and _settled it beyond the possibility of a doubt from Southern disunion intrigues to dragoon him into sub mission. But with the official determination of his eie:ltion, 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 whole policy and the key to his success or his humiliation and the final destruction of his party. His Cabinet must be a unit, and a Conservative unit, and the i nstant h e s h all discover an intr i guing b or d er ru ffi an or filib uster among th em , or that c liques and coteries are at folly in the submssie u n re o n f work wi t h them in the kitchen, it wiil be his duty to follow the, example of Jackson, and try a new set of men. Prom Van Buren down pntroesidieernct to Pierce, the intriguing lessons of Ministry are too fresh in the memory of Mr. Buchanan to suppose that lee will not profit by them.

Since the condemnation of the wretched man, Robert Marley, for the murdir of Richard Cope, in Parliament street, he has conducted himself in a very satisfactory manner, and apreirs quite resigned to his fate, which he seems all along to have considered inevitable. The culprit appears to have received a good education, and to havo been connscted with a family of very great re spectability, but in consequence of his wild habits they were 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 bad 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, be has on every occasion 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 waspos sible for him, but he says that he felt his case 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 fice his owi 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 day 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 nambered. 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, be 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, be 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 foundatio❑ for the supposition that it was handed by him to an ac complice. With regard to the fact or 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 offenses 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. IN,3OLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—Dec. 6. necessary. Ido not believe the child had any disease of the heart or lungs. A large proportion of children die wider one year of age, and cceasionally of marasmus. Ophthalmia 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, wetnurses aro 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 mile, By the Judge—lf I had opened tho body I should not have found anything to alter my opinion, I believe. I should not have found any evidence of marasmus which I did not see on the exterior. The symptom of maras mus in this case was emaciation. Tho child sank gra dually. A child might have life enough to Jive for nine days, and yet not be brought round by good treatment. I don't believe the mesenteric g'ands were affected, be cause the idly was not swollen. That disease causes emaciation, and is constitutional in tome children. The ophthalmia of infects is not constitutional. Tue 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 yearse I knew her when she lived in Wilks'e-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 heme. 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 tell Mr. Prior she was using that baby the same as she did the other. She said she did not care it 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 pile 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 you feed it ?" 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 it 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 tll3 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 was 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 yon 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 atter 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" wroegful neglect in the prisoner, as she was manifestly incapable of taki n g 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 coa -1 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 eves 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, claimed her acquittal on another indictment, which charged her with the man slaughter of her stepson, George Yarnell, a child seven yearseef age, by kicking it on the back. Mr. Powell said he 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., afflicted with curvature of the spine, and died ou the 3d of October. On a postmortem 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 iu custody during her Majesty's pleasure. This case concluded the business of the assizes for this county at a quarter to 2 p.m. QONSPIRACY TO MURDER THE GOVERNOR OF THE BRISTOL GAOL. Some sensation was created during these assizes by the discovery of a conspiracy, formed among some of the Bristol prisoners, to murder the governor, Mr. Gard ner, on his return with them from Gloucester to Bristol.

John, Brown was indicted for rape. The Hon. A. Lidde ll p rosecuted ; Mr. Pric e appeared for the prisoner. The proseoutrix, who gave her evidence in a very clear and modest manner, is a married woman, but a t t h e time of this offence , t he 17th of September, owin g to her husband being in the hospitol, was living alone in a ' roadside cottage about five miles from Da rlington, on the Staindrop road , known as the Kille rby - tollbar. She w ent to bed about 10 o'clock with h er c hi ldren, and about an hour afterwards the prisoner broke into the h o use by pricing op en the door with a rail, and com mitted the offence with which he was charged. Mr. Price having subjected the proseeutrix to a very severe cress-examination, but failed to shake her testi mony in the slightest degree, declined to address the jury ; who at once found the prisoner guilty ; and He was sentenced to be transported for life. FACTO AHOITT 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 ono were 66 years old on leaving office, having served two tc:ms ; and one of them, who had served but one term, would have been 66 years old at the end of another. Three of the seven died on 4th July, and two of them on the same day and year. Two of them were on the snh-committee of three that drafted the Declaration of Independence, and these two died on the same day and year, andon the anniversary of the Declaration of In dependence, and just half-a•centnry from the day of declaration. The names of three of the seven ended in son, yet neither of thus 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 earr® The remaining one, who stands alone in this particular, stands alone also in the love and admiration of his countrymen and the civilised world—Washington. 10f the first five only one bad a son, and that son was also president.

After the positive manner in which Mr. Bodkin an• flounced 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 on Tuesday last, preceded as that announcement had 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 dime 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 biding 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 conv'ct 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 sup:rintendent 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 him 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 fill 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 case taken, than Tester, either from private information or the reports which appeared in the news papers, 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 have stayed in that country without fear f police interference ; hut 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 veeretly more than three weeks ago, and, coming direct to England—it is even said to London—watched the proceedings in the case —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 came to a resolution to sur render and stand his trial. In consequence of this reso lution Mr. Rees, the 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 will be necessary to corn• pieta the case, the prisoners cannot be included in the Old Bailey Calendar before the January sessions of the Central Criminal Court, which as the Great Northern Railway frauds are also likely then to be on the list, will be of a protracted duration. The services of Mr. Serjeant Ballantine are to be retained, if possible, on behalf of Tester, while Burgess and Pierce will have the best available talent of the bar employed in their defence. Tester about two years ago married a very respectable young woman, by whom he has one child, a daughter, about a twelvemonth old, and witlin the last fortnight his wife has borne him twins, 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 taking air and exercise. Oa that occa sion the Lord Mayor desired that every proper privilege should be extended to the prisoners and since that ti me no relaxation has been ,denied which, consistent with their safe custody and the due preservation of prison discipline, could be granted.

Charles-street, Gos well-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 bad 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 Bch dule were about 1301. He did not figure at Don 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—l ana 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 was probable the debts would exceed 3001. Protection was renewed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.—Dec. 6. WESTERN CICCUIT.—SALISBURY. (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 Junb the prisoner was asked by the commanding officer for the bills of the month of May, he had been asked several times for them. On the 16th of June 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 Medlaud intended to give him the 2/. 10s. 4d. The receipt was not in the handwriting of Med land, but 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 he 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 2s. 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 the charge was that he had sent edland 271. 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 returned a vsrdict 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 defend these men ; but this gentleman did not see the prisoners to know what their story was or what line of defence they would wish taken, nor had 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 be had no instructions. When the pri soners are convicted the first question is put to them. They aro 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 then 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 aro 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 whe can speak their language, no 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 suspense the idea in their mind is that they have not had a fair chance becauee 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. Bran 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 adj )ining land 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 lor 'E6ip's, assisted by keepers of Sir C. Wolseley and the Marquis of Anglesey, being on the watch for poachers, caught the prisoner Moor in the act of taking a rabbit out of the net, and handcuffed him. A. deadly con flict 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 ou 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 break ing up the large gang of which it was evident the pri soners formed a part. Im,....0. 1 1••••I• 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 into the dock, began talking incessantly, and the burden o f her tonve was complaints of h er neighbourg, who had preferred ag ainst 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 prisoner continued her complaints through. out the trial, abusing all the witnesses as they appeared in the box, and calling them by opprobrious names. Mr. Powell having stated the facts of the case, called the following witnesses F. J. Prior said, --1 - am surgeon to the Tewkesbury Union. I attended the prisoner a few hours after the birth of the child Diana. 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, and I went. I asked her why she did not suckle her child' I told her she must suckle it, or she would get into trouble. She said she did suckle it. It was always filthily dirty and neglected. I told her it ought to be kept clean. I saw her every now and then. I always remonstrated with her, but I could not get the child properly suckled or properly cleaned. I thought it would lead to the death of the child, and I took the coroner, Mr. Thomas, to it. Its said, in her presence, it was very horrib le. We both remonstrated. The child lost its eyes fro m o p hthalma. The sight twas 3 lost tby neglect. The ch ild was not brought to the infirmary, and I could not see it whon I called. Ophthalmia is increased by neglect. When brought to the workhouse it was in a wasted state, and very dirty, both 'the clothes and the body. It was properly nursed, but died in about nine days after. I attribute the death to the mother's neglect. I have seen food in the house. Cross-examiaed—lf a child is not suckled by its mother it will generally die of marasmus, or starvation.
