(Before Mr. Justice Byles.) ALLEGED MURDER. John Speller, aged 19, described as a sailor, was indicted for the wilful murder of William Dixon, on board the American ship Bosphorus, on the 6th of September. Mr. Orridge having briefly addressed the jury on the part of the prosecution, called his evidence. Thomas Porter, a seaman on board the Bosphorus, said that vessel arrived off the Commercial Docks on Friday, Sept. 6. The mate ordered all hands on deck, and witness went down to the forecastle to tell the men who were there. The prisoner was one of them. Prisoner said he would not go until witness went, upon which witness caugkt him by the collar and tried to pull him out. They both fell, the prisoner being underneath. The prisoner ran away, and witness jumped on a chest. The man Dixon was coming in at the time, and attempted to take from the prisoner a knife which he had in•his hand. Dixon was stabbed, but witness did not see the blow, although ho saw the knife in the prisoner's hand. The prisoner had his right arm up when Dixon caught hold of him. Police -constable 264 M produced a large clasp-knife with which the assault was said to have been committed. Examination continued--Dixon died within three minutes after he was stabbed. There had been quarrels between witness and the prisoner during the voyage, but not on the day the assault on Dixon took place. Cross-examined by Mr. Thomson—Dixon and witness had been on shore in the morning, and had been drinking. Witness had two glasses of gin. All the sailors in the ship carried knives in their belts. Re-examined by Mr. Orridge—Witness was not altoge ther sober when he had the struggle with the prisoner, nor altogether drunk. James Galbraith, a seaman on board the Bosphorus, gave a similar version of the quarrel. He saw the pri soner strike Dixon a back-handed blow with the knife. The prisoner then threw the knife away. He had heard the prisoner and Dixon quarrel in the morning about money. The prisoner said, " I will have my money, or I'll see for why." A police-constable said that when ho took the prisoner into custody ho said he was very sorry that Dixon was dead. He meant it for the other man (Porter), who had very cruelly used him on the voyage. Medical evidence was given that the wound received was sufficient to account for death. Mr. Sleigh (who, with Mr. Thompson, appeared for the defence) made a very able speech to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, suggesting that there was no motive for the committal of murder, and that the offence was nothing more than manslaughter at the runs& He thought that the jury would be still safer in acquitting the prisoner on the ground of •tne wow uy wnten Dixon met his death being unpre•. meditated and accidental. The judgeleft it to the jury to say whether it was raw. der, manslaughter, or accident. The jury found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter, adding that he had received provocation which mitigated the offence. Mr. Justice Byles said he Would take time to consider the sentence. THE CASE OF DR. GRIFFITH JONES. Dr. Griffith Jones, surgeon, was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury in propounding a will before Sir C. Cress.. well. There was also an indictment against the prisoner for having forged the will—the will of Sophia Beilia. The indictment charging the prisoner with wilful and corrupt perjury was read by the clerk, The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said that under the circumstances he should withdraw from the prosecution on the second in dictment. He had come to tho conclusion that it would be a vain inquiry. He might mention that the perjury was that the prisoner had represented on oath before Sir C. Cresswell that he was a Doctor of Medicine, having taken that degree at Aberdeen. It appeared from the pri soner's own admission on cr oss - examination that he had Oaken no such degree, and that he was represented at Aber deen by another. Mr. Sergeant Parry, on the part of the prisoner, said that, the perjury was of the most trumpery character. The pri soner said he was a doctor of medicine of the University of Aberdeen. Such was not the case, but he was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. Mr. • Justice Byles said that such statements must be made on affidavits, and he would consider them before pass ing sentence. 21 verdict of not guilty was then taken on the indictmenA for forgery, and sentence on that of perjury was deferred till to-morrow morning. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) THE CHARGE AGAINST VINCENT COLLUCCI, THE ITALIAN prisoner say, the week the child died, that she had taken it to Dr. Harvey. I know she complained of her husband's conduct. By Mr. Giffard—The prisoner was seldom sober between the birth and death of the child. ARTIST. Mary Ann Ricketts, of 24, Bedfordbury—l have known the child left in the prisoner's apartment from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon a very short time be fore it died. The only persons left in the room were her two other young children. I have known the children take thesbaby down to Mrs. Jones to give it something. I have often seen the prisoner return after she had been absent; she was intoxicated on many occasions. Mr. Louis Hart said—l have known the prisoner for the six months she has lived in my house, and during that time I have scarcely ever seen her once sober. By Mr. Ribton—l am the landlady of the house in Bed. fordbury in which the prisoner resided. I live in Bear street, Leicester-square. I don't know that any complaints have ever been made against my house in Bear-street. The person who resided in the shop in Bedfordbury was a tenant of mine, and received the rent for me. I have often had to go to the prisoner's husband for the rent. _ _ In this case the prisoner, Vincent Collucci, is indicted for larceny, in stealing from Miss Frederica Johnson, 19 £lOO Bauk of England notes, and also with obtaining the same notes under fraudulent pretences. Mr. Ribton—Why, I thought you said the shopman re ceived the rent of the prisoner. Witness—So he used, when he could get it. Mr. Ribton—Then the husband used sometimes not to pay you your rent ? - Witness—Yes, but the prisoner had had it, and spent ii and that's the reason I did not get it. Mr. Ribton—l only want an answer. I don't want your reasons. I only want what you know for certain. • Witness—Well, I do know she spent the money. Mr. Ribton then put a number of questions to the wit ness touching the marine-store business he carried on, and remarked that he had varied somewhat in his replies. To which the witness replied,—Well, I want to answer every. thing in a straightforward manner, but, upon my word, you ask me so many questions that I don't know what I have said—(laughter)--you go about it in such a round about way that I don't think any person could recollect every answer he had given. (Laughter.) Mr. Leonard, of 2, Salisbury-street, Strand, said—l am a surgeon. I saw the child after its death. The body of the child was so wasted that its leg was not thicker than my finger, ani the whole weight of the body was not 31bs. and a half. I have made a post mortem examination. I could find no disease that would account for its death. Want of nourishment would account for its death. Mr. Alfred Harvey, surgeon, said, I saw the child both before and after death. The proximate cause of death was inanition or wasting away. After the post mortem I arrived at the conclusion that the child died for the want of suf ficient nourishment. By Mr. Ribton—The post mortem proved that the child had not died of any disease. The Learnea J uago ouwmea up the evidence, The jury, after a few minutes' consideration, acquitted the prisoner. The prisoner, who had evinced great contrition and dis tress of mind during the trial, was then ordered to be discharged. On Monday, Mr. Sleigh, with whom was Mr. Giffard, on the part of the prisoner, made an application to the Re corder for leave to inspect and take copies of certain letters written by the prosecutrix in the Italian language to the prisoner, and which were taken possession of by Sergeant Tanner of the detective force on taking she prisoner into custody, they being material and necessary for the purpose of properly conducting the defence, and also that the trial should be postponed until next session. POLICE iNTELL.IGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Sergeant Parry opposed the application on the pact of the prosecution until he had seen his learned brother,Mr. Montague Chambers. ROBBERY AT THE DUKE Or DEVONSHIRE'S.—John Willis, stableman, in the service of the Duko of Devonshire, Devonshire House, Piccadilly, and John Goss Lyons, an old man, described as a labourer, were charged with steal ing some harness, the property of the Duke of Devonshire. At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Sergeant Parry and Mr. F. H. Lewis, on the part or the prosecution, eau tnat with reference to the application made by Mr. Sleigh to the Recorder, he had now to state to his lordship for his infor mation, that in the case of Vincent Collucci, there were two bills returned by the grand jury, the one for larceny, in stealing a large sum of money, £1,900, from the prosecutrix, and the other for fraudulently obtaining the same large sum of money by false pi etences. The application was to in spect and make translation and copies of a number of letters, 63 in number, which were written in the Italian language, and which were in the hands of the police. On the part of the prosecution he must oppose the application, on the ground that the letters in question were wholly and absolutely irrelevant to the nature of the charge, and could in no way be material to the defence of the prisoner. Ho (the learned counsel) had read the translations of the letters, and he could not help thinking that the only object the prisoner had was to create intimidation or to gratify some morbid, idle, and improper curiosity, in addition to which the affidavit upon which the application was made was defective, and another difficulty to his mind was that the prisoner himself ought to have pointed out what part of the letters would assist his defence. The second indictment charged the prisoner with falsely pretending that the package or parcel contained cer tain letters, whereas the parcel only contained old news papers, and one single letter so folded as to deceive the pro secutrix. At the examination of the prisoner, Mr. D. Keane, who appeared for him, had been shown some of these translations, and Mr. Collett, who had acted as the attor ney, had since retired from the case, and a Mr. Sidney was the attorney who made the affidavit. That affidavit had been fully answered by Mr. Lewis, the attorney for the prosecution, and he (the learned counsel) could assure his lordship that the letters could in no way affect the pri soner's defence ; and he repeated the only object was to ob tain copies for the purpose of intimidation, and to gratify a morbid and idle curiosity, and if his learned friends had copies they might get into other persons' hands. Mr. Sleigh, in support of his application, said surely the counsel who conducted this defence were the best judges what would be material, and the letters might be of great importance, and might utterly refute the charge, and he felt he could not properly conduct the defence without an inspection of the letters. Henry S utton, porterat Devonshire House, said the harness produced was the property of the Duke of Devonshire, and the prisoner Willis had the care of the stables in town all the year round. He (witness) had last seen the harness rope in the stables in June. Since the prisoners had been in custody he had searched the stables and missed it. Kelly, 53 C, said about six yesterday evening he went to Mr. Attenborough's. in Piccadilly, and found the two pri soners there. He asked Willis where he got the harness from, and he said it belonged to the Duke of Devonshire. On asking whether he was authorised to pledge it he said he was not, but as he was only paid once a month, and had a sister in Shropshire who was dying, he had done so in tending to redeem it when he was paid, but that he had no felonious intention. Lyons told him that he was engaged to carry the harness by Willis. Phillip Barnes, manager to Mr. Attenborough, pawn broker, of Piccadilly, said the prisoner Lyons brought the harness in the previous evening, and on his asking him if it was his, he said " No, but to a person living at the Duke of Devonshire's, and that it belonged to the person." Seeing a coronet on the harness, and being under the ire prpssion that there w•as something wrong about it, he told Lyons to go and fetch the person, and he did so, and he then sent for the officer. Mr. Tyrwhitt said there was no case against Lyons, and he should discharge him, but ho should commit Willis for trial. THAMES. ATROCIOUS ASSAULT ON A GlRL.—Alexander Lawrence, a Scotchman, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with assaulting Margaret Sweeney, a girl aged 13 years. A gentleman from the office of Messrs. Shaen and Rowe, solicitors to the " Associate Institution for Improving and Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women," ap peared for the prosecution, and said the girl, who had suc cessfully resisted the attempts made upon her virtue, was poor and. friendless. The complainant said she was servant to Mrs. Curley, a lodging-house keeper in Queen's-head-alley, Wapping. The prisoner was a sailor, lately paid oft; and had been lodging in the house for five days only. Last night between nine and ten o'clock she was wiping a table when the pri soner suddenly came behind her, seized her round the waist, threw her violently upon the floor, and raised her clothes. Cho aoroamorl alouri, and a woman oatmo into the room and rescued her. In answer to a question by Mr. WoOlrych, the witness said the prisoner did nothing more to her than she had stated. His clothes were unfastened. Mrs. Ann M‘liew, a respectable married woman, said she was about to fetch her supper beer last night, and had just left her house when she heard loud screams and cries of " Save me." She rushed into Mrs. Curley's house, and saw the girl Sweeney on the floor, and the prisoner near her. She told the prisoner he ought to be ashamed of himself. He said he was very sorry; it was the drink made him act as he had dono. Inspector Beadle, of the Thames Police, said he took the prisoner into custody, and he expressed his regret for what ho had done. The prisoner was not sober, and he ascer tained that he had been drinking all yesterday afternoon. Mr. Woolrych was of opinion there was nothing to show the prisoner intended to commit a rape, which was the charge against him; but he had committed a most im proper, unjustifiable, and brutal assault on the girl, for which he fined him £3. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's market were very moderate, yet the demand for bath red and white qualities ruled inactive, at Monday's decline in the quotations of is to 2s per quarter. The show of foreign wheat was by no means extensive. All descriptions, however, moved off heavily, on former terms. In floating cargoes of grain rather a limited business was ,ransacted, at about previous currencies. The trade for barley was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. Malt was a slow sale, at previmis currencies. Fine oats sold steadily, at full quotations ; but medium and low parcels were a dull inquiry, at barely late rates. Beans and peas were in steady request, at full prices. The flour trade was steady, and the quotations were sup ported. Mr. Justice Keating desired that the translations should be handed to him. lie would look through them, and in form Mr. Sleigh to-morrow morning what he would do. If any of the letters contained any matter at all relevant there might bo ground to allow inspection, but he should cer tainly not feel justified in allowing copies to be taken. The prisoner, who is an extremely good-looking gentle manly man, was in the dock during the application, but not placed at the bar. THE NSIWTON-STREET, HOLBORN, AND 'WESTMINSTER MURDERS. The trials of William Cogan, for the murder of his wife, and also that of William Maloney, for a similar offence, were, upon the application of the counsel for the respective prisoners, Mr. Ribtos and Mr. Sleigh, postponed until to morrow. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. Harriet Harris, 27, married, was indicted for wilfully causing the death of her infant child, Mary Harris, through neglect and starvation. Mr. Giffard prosecuted, and Mr. Ribton defended the prisoner. Tho following witnesses were examined to prove the case : Mrs. Jones—l live at 48, Bedfordbury. The prisoner and her husband resided in the house. I have known the mother take the child out very frequently. It was a very little baby about nine weeks old. I recollect shortly before the child's death the mother took it out. She returned home drunk with the child in her arms. This she had done frequently. She was not always in a state to take care of the baby. Mr. Harris, the husband, did not come home the day the child died. I at tended to it. I don't know where she went to; she came home quite drunk. The child appeared to have been a very healthy, not delicate, child, and when I attended to it I gave it all the nourishment I could think of. Cross-examined by Mr. Ribton—The prisoner had two other children beside the one that die& I have children of my own. I know the child was seen by Dr. Harvey before it died. I know that beer, wine, and brandy are sometimes ordered in cases where women have lately recovered from their confinement. I have seen the prisoner feeding the child. I don't think the hus band had been at home for a week before the child died. The prisoner went cut to look for the husband while the child was ill. It was alive when she left her home, but it was dead when she returned, I heard the ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

THE ENSUING MAYORALTY.—D EPUTATION TO THE LORD MAYOR (THIS DAY).—This morning an influ ential deputation, consisting of bankers, merchants, and traders of the City of London, with several members of the Common Council, waited upon the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, and presented a requisition, signed by nearly 2,000 citizens, requesting him to take upon himself the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. The Lord Mayor thanked the deputation, and said that if the livery choose to elect him, and the Court of Aldermen by an un • mistakable vote should return him, he should then take upon himself the office with great pleasure. The deputa tion then withdrew.

A Hero irk Spite of Himself. From the French of Luis de Bellemare. By Captain Mayne Reid, author of " Oceola," " The Scalp-hunters." Three Vols. Hurst and Blackett. This is another of those exciting stories for Ivhieh this a u th or h as so l ong b een ce l e b ra t e d. It is rep l ete with most marvellous adventures from first to last, an d no reader who wishes for an in te rethsetsie pages. n gta Somelewil wil l be o fn disappointed teeh arae t e i n r s are the very peru well al of drawn, and it is amusing to mark how in the tur moil and ex c i tement of thosestrange scenes some were forced t o become soldiers whether they had any inclination for the warlike profession or not. Among these w as C ornell° Lantejas, who was, by a combination of circumstances, compelled to take a prominent part in the drama then enacted. The story relates to the period of the Mexican war of Independence, and some of the names here men tioned figure also in the chronicles of history. Great injury was done to the cause of the Indepen dents by a ruthless band taking it up as their war cry, thus committing all sorts of depredations under the name of liberty. Those attendants who had any towards their masters made it a practice to enrol themselves among the misc reants, and to torob and take advantage som e sometimes ofthesmurder co confusion their s• o n then latem e preva lent ployers. It was in consequence of a tragedy of this nature that Don Rafael determined to transfer his allegiance to the cause of Spain instead of Mexico, as he had at first determined. It cannot be said that he was justified in such a proceeding, as the cruelties of such villians as Arroyo and Antonio Valdez did not belong to the cause they professed, but to their own vindictive natures. To add to the complication of events, Don Rafael was engaged to Gertrude, the daughter of a gentleman in his neighbourhood just before his fatal return, when he found his father had been murdered by the bandits. He rushed away to seek redress, and never explained to the family of Don Mariano the reason of his resolve to change sides in the war then raging. As may be supposed, this led to serious misunderstandings, and at one time the un happy young Gertrude nearly fell a victim to the unhappy state of affairs. The fate of Marianita was most sad, although it was far preferable to her falling into the hands of the cruel men who attacked her home. The death of this young lady and that of her unfortunate husband casts a gloom over the conclusion of the narrative, which otherwise seemed to brighten after the dark shades which had of envelop service,edit. Don Rafael had performed prodigies valour duri and his nameshortngthe w space res ceh o e unded withhadbe acclaim on all s id es, and Gertrude, while mourn ing in active over his desertion of their cause, yet rejoiced at the prowess exhibited by her lover. Don Cornelio was the aide de camp of Morelos, and thus, contrary to his first intentions, he mixed in the stirring scenes that he had intended to look upon from a distance. One of the most curious characters mentioned here is Costel, the Red Indian, who was imbued with all the strange superstitions that belong to that mystical race, who have been driven from their forests and floods, but who yet delight to recall the past glories of their race, and to picture to them selves the triumphs that await theni in the hunt ing-grounds of the spirit-land, where no ruthless destroyer shall uproot their strongholds, and no shadow fall upon their prosperous course. For skill in delineation, and vigour in description this novel is not inferior to its predecessors, and the numerous admirers of this style of narrative will be, delighted to meet with so brilliant a work. There are so many persons introduced, and the events are so startling and rapid that the reader has enough to do to carry them in his recollection as he threads the mazes of the intricate labyrinth. " A Hero in Spite of Himself" is therefore likely to prove a general favourite among the classes who are desirous of meeting with excitement in their novels; and its graphic accounts of peculiar people in strange times, its animated dialogues and remarkable occurrences, certainly • impart to it a, striking character. The Life of Jeanne D' Ibret, Queen of Navarre. By M. W. Freer, author of " The Life of Mar guerite D'Angouleme," &c., &c. Hurst and Blackett's Standard Library: Miss Freer's admirable series of works on the French historycf the middle ages is so well known and popularly esteemed that there is little need of criticism. The work before us, which originally appeared some years since, formed one of those consecutive biographies in which this accomplished authoress has so fully detailed the eventful history of that epoch. Commencing with the life of Mar guerite D'Angouleme, the beautiful and gifted sister of Francis 1., she carried on her narrative in the work before us, the memoir of Marguerite's remarkable daughter, who inherited her father's nominal kingdom and his duchy of Beam. Miss Freer, as will be readily remembered, has since grown bolder in her undertakings, and has successively chronicled the contemptible career of the worthless Henry 111., King of France and Poland, and the great achievements of that strange compound of mental strength and moral weakness, the warlike Henry the Fourth, son of Jeanne D'Albret. She has besides, in a separate work, told us the tale of the fair and gentle Elizabeth of F rance , " I sa b e l of tho Poser, " ad her B punish subjects proudly called her. In those • volumes Miss Freer denies the accusation brought against Philip 11. of having accelerated her death, and totally disposes of the romance woven round the names of Elizabeth and the unfortunate Don Carlos. Her narratives are always careful and trustworthy, showing a minute and laborious investigation of contemporary authorities and justifying her claim to the study of numerous unpublished sources. The recent admission of historians to the zealously guarded archives of Simaucas is of incalculable advantage to all writers on that period, since the full and constant accounts forward to Philip 11. by his ambassadors and emissaries in all parts throw light on many hitherto dark places. In the work before us Miss Freer has full scope for her ability as an historical writer. Jeanne D'Albret was no mere queen like Elizabeth of France, graceful and gentle and fulfilling the duties of her station as consort, but appearing as little more than a necessary figure at a court pageant or grand procession. Marguerite D'Angouleme was noted for her wit and talents, and for the protection which she secretly afforded to the preachers of the reformed doctrines. Rut her daughter was something more. As Queen regnant and married to a man of inferior intellect and narrow mind, she was necessarily called upon to take a more prominent place ; but her great talents, strong will, and indomitable energy were devoted to the support and encouragement of the Hugenots. She accepted their doctrines wholly and unreservedly, and was looked up to as the guiding intelligence of their party. Her great aim was to bring up her son to the same office and to presetve him from the snares and machinations of Catherine de Medici. The ef f orts of Jeanne to keep him away from the evil influences of the Court, and her' anxiety and dis tress at the proposed marriage between her son and Marguerite de Valois are all vividly described by Miss Freer. The death of Jeanne d'Albert took place in June, 1572, after a very short illness. Her unexpected decease filled the whole party of the Hugenots with gloom and consternation. Suspi cions of poison were freely expressed, which the King himself was disposed to share. Apoet morten examination, however, has saved the me_moy of the Queen-mother from the weight of an r z additional crime. with Marguerite de Valois was gallant h a habiliments," ilm c e a n v t a s l , i , e 7 rs en o t f e T e r d anc p e atri al s l . solemnised.

It was a political oversight of the most fatal descrip tion, as Miss Freer justly observes, to have assembled this large and formidable body of Hugenot chieftains in Paris. It would never have occurred, she re marks, had the Queen of Navarre lived, as her con tinual commands on this subject prove. She saw the danger of confiding in the smooth speeches of the court, and she knew the protection which dispersion afforded. The numbers and valour of the band filled the court with alarm, and enabled Queen Catherine to whisper dark suggestions into the mind of her son. These Hugenot gentlemen alone, she said, not to mention their followers, were more than a match for the garrison of Paris. On the 18th of August the ill-fated marriage was celebrated► and on the 22d that dark tragedy began, which Ji_ts e. left an indelible stain on the chivalry of F' That goodly train of cavaliers flying for their lives, or blood out on the stones of Parise deserve to be has given us the names of those w e h fuo P r is r e ti Freerth soonir d e to execute the orders of the Count wilt e h e i e nt held in remembrance for having the domains.
