Mr. Bateson was totally unaware of the ruinous state of the affairs of the firm,as that had arisen from the speculations of his partner. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. ATKINSON 27. DODSON. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for the injury caused to plaintiff in conse quence of certain slanderous expressions used by the defendant with respect to him. Mr. STARKEY- opened the pleadings. Mr. BROUGHAM stated the case. 'His client was a most respectable manufacturer of coarse cloths in Lancashire and Westmoreland, and had carried on his business for upwards of thirty years with great credit to himself, and the universal satisfaction of all who dealt with him. The defendant was in the same business. Some difference arising between them in the course of their business, a malicious feeling was excited in the mind of the latter; and this malicious feeling he had thought proper to dis play by a number of slanderous, unfounded observa tions with respect to Mr. A., which had the effect of materially injuring his client iii his business. That credit, which he had hitherto possessed to any required extent was suddenly taken from him, and many of his former customers shunned his intercourse. The expressions he had used to one person, " Waith man has given me but a poor account of Atkinson." To another, " I would advise you to be cautious how you deal with him, till yon get some of your bills paid." To a third, " I would not trust him with a bag of corn." To another, "He cannot be trusted in his own neighbourhood." These were the ob servations he had thought proper to make, and he hoped that they would give such damages as should prove that such attacks as these could not be made by any person on an honourable man, with impunity. Several witnesses were called, who proved that the above expressions had been used by the de fendant, and that the credit of the plaintiff had been materially injured by them. Mr. F. POLLOCK addressed the Jury on the part of the defendant, and contended •that there was no thing to show malice in what he had said. The Jury retired, and had not returned their ver dict when the communication left York. TAVIR V. MEDHLIRST AND ANOTHER. This was an action of trespass. The plaintiff was a farmer, and his farm was im mediately adjoi;.:o4 the estate of the defendant, in the parish of Sherbourne. He had been frequently annoyed by the defendant passing over his lands in pursuit of game, and particularly of rabbits. On the 25th of September, in the year before last, he gave him a regular notice to keep off his lands. This was, however, of no avail, and the defendant, in person, and by his servants, continued to trespass as before. On the 2d of September, in 1826, he again trespassed, and that was the time which formed the foundation of the present action. The trespass was then proved. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages One Farthing. LISBON, JULY 28. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) For some days past the minds of a great portion of the public here have been kept in a state of ferment, owing to the resignation of the Minister of War (General Saldanha), who is a great favourite with the army and all those who are well disposed towards the Constitution. It - is stated that the General, having had strong reason to doubt the af fection of the Intendant of Police towards the good cause, submitted his opinion on the subject to the Princess Re gent, with a recommendation that this person should be re placed by a more faithful and trust-worthy Officer. This was refused, and consequently the General tendered his re eignation as War Minister, which was accepted. So soon as this unexpected change became generally known, the people began to assemble in great crowds in the CoMmercial square, where the War and other Public Offices are si tuated ; some of whom expressed their opinions loudly in favour of Saldanha. I understand that the crowd recog nised one of the Ministers, who at present holds office, in the square, where he was immediately surrounded by about 5,000 persons, who obliged him to swear that he would snake known to the Princess Regent their wishes of having Saldanha reinstated. No serious disturbance, how ever, took place. Of course every precaution was taken to prevent any, by strong bodies of their own military being brought to the spot, and two pieces of artillery being in readiness in the arsenal, which is near the square. Mat ters continue in this unsettled state, as the Princess is at Caldas, and it will take some days before her pleasure can be known. Last night the cavalry were obliged to use some force in dispersing the crowd, but no lives have been lost. The general opinion seems to ha, that tranquillity will be restored, and that things will assume their former dull slow current ; but if the miserable Councils of this country will lose such a man as Saldanha, it must be se verely felt. The army, which was badly off, and had con siderable arrears due to them, lie found means of paying, clothing, and feeding, besides augmenting its force. Mat ters are, nevertheless, in a state of deplorable instability, and no sort of dependence is to be placed on the men in au thority, who use means to guide the power vested at pre sent in a poor weak woman to suit their own views and in terests and that of their party. I send you herewith the Portuguese newspapers, with their account of the above Affair, to which I must refer you for further particulars. The British troops take no part in what is going for ward they go about their ordinary duty and pleasure as usual, tied as if nothing had happened. The present aspect of affairs des not require their presence up the country, and therefore the army is to be concentrated in Lisbon and its neighbourhood. With a view to the carrying of this arrangement into eifect, a part of Sir E. Blackney's brigade are on their march from Leiria to Mafra. The other portion are to be stationed between Fort St. 'Julian and Belem. Sir Thos. Arbsetlinot's brigade is to be at Loires and the adjacent villages, about 12 miles from this. The 12th Lancers are on their way to Benefice, and the 10th Hussars will arrive at Belem to-day or to-morrow. One of the Officers of this regiment (Lieut. H.) imptu dently ventured alone, after the Opera was over, a few nights ago, to join his corps at Saeavetn, when he was met on the road by four robbers on horseback, and two on foot, who plundered him of his horse-cloths, and eves hie boots, leaving him nearly in a state of nudity, with his arms tied to kis knees, from which unpleasant situation lie was only :relieved by some passers-by in the morning. There seems to be a strong belief amongst our troops that ;bey seeill go home in October ; but it would be cruel to leave the Country in its present unsettled state, and more particularly In that month, when Don Miguel comes of age; and consequently apprehensions may be enter tained of some change, not for the better. The most of our Officers are tired of what we may call doing nothing. Up the country the people were really kind, and did every thing to make us as comfortable as they could ; but here they are a little different, not so much from any bad feel ng towards us, as from their means being more confined, awl their ideaumore selfish, which is generally the case in a capital. In the country the kinder feelings of human nature show themselves more than in a city. The Guards, to make up for their races and clog-busts at Cartes°, have two boats, which they had sent to them from England ; and, for want of better amusement at the baitacks, the Sd Regiment have two monkeys; but the Grenadiers, being a more IoN people, and consequently of a more serious torn, have only one. With all this, how ever, they are not unmindful of the distress of . their fellow creatures. When at Carta xo, an application been made to them on behalf of the Spanish refugees at Santerem, for whose aid they resolved to raise a subscription. Before this charitable of. could be accomplished the brigade was ordered here; lee, they nevertheless carried their benevo lent intentions into effect, and lodged a suns in the bands of Col. Haubury, who of course communicated the cireten stance to these unfortunate exiles, who deputed one of their number to wait on the Colonel. I saw this Spaniel' gen tleman yesterday, when he spoke with great feeling of the handsome and kind manner in which lie had been treated by Colonel H. He at the same time told me that he is a nativ e of Valladolid, and the picture which he gave of the state otSpain was truly distressing. " You may suppose," he said , with a deep sigh, " that matters were beyond hu man endurance at home before we would seek an asylum in a country, the inhabitants of which we dislike, and who detest us in return. At home, all those who were known t o be in the smallest degree in favour of the Constitution, when it existed, are now marked out for every species of insult and abuse. If any of them venture out decently dressed, they are assailed by, d'Aia A 1 I t h ese constitutional reseals have received some good news !' If, on the con trary, they appear ill dressed, th e try is, These black. guards are in despair.' " There is no fresh disturbance this evening, but there is an edict out is the name of the Princess Regent, *earning the people against meeting in 8 tumultuous manner some IWO their fear% c La . cvAn. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, 1827. His MAJESTY being fully impressed with the necessity of immediately supplying the distinguished place in his Councils, which the death of Mr. CANNING has vacated, has been graciously pleased to express his command to Viscount GODERICH that he should undertake the arduous office of his first Minister, and make the necessary arrangements for completing the Government. Those arrange ments are not yet finally settled, and it would, therefore, be premature i❑ us to state their pro bable nature. It is gratifying, however, in the extreme, to find that his MAJESTY'S choice of a Premier has fallen on so able and so liberal a Member of his present Cabinet as Lord GODE RICH. This gives us the best founded expec tation that the Government will be continued upon the enlightened principles which charac terized the Ministry of the great Statesman whose loss the nation deplores. A strong feeling is prevalent among the com munity, that the remains of Mr. CANNING should receive the distinction of a national funeral. Every wish, every sentiment, of our hearts is warm in favour of such a pro ceeding. Those pious rites, which, on the decease of private and ordinary individuals, are regarded as a decent tribute from their weeping friends and relatives, become, when " a great man has fallen," a merited and a proper expression of the public gratitude. Mr. CANNING was wedded to his country ;—he poured forth his heart in her service, and may be said to have expired in her arms ;--widowed by our irrepar able loss, shall we not vent our affectionate sorrow in the mournful offering of obituary honours ? It gives us the greatest pleasure to under stand that his MAJESTY, deeply impressed with the public services and private virtues of Mr. CANNING, has commanded that his remains shall be honoured with a public funeral. In acen4ce with this public mark of esteem, a magnificent monument, erected at the national expellee, will prove how deeply the memory of our departed Statesman "is graven in the rock of England for ever." Let it be recollected with what force and feeling he himself recommended a similar act of respect in the instance of Mr. PERCEVA L ; and let it be considered that Mr. PE RCEVA L, who fell bleeding at the feet of a devoted assassin, was not more . strictly a martyr to the perf ormance o f hi s public duty, than Mr. CANNING, when with a dying grasp he seized the helm of the State, at the command of a revered SOVEREIGN and a beloved country. The Paris Papers of Tuesday, and the Ga zette de France, dated Wednesday morning, reached us last night. The latter contains an article from Alexandria, under date of the 19th of June, mentioning the appearance off that place of Lord COCHRANE with the Greek fleet of twenty-three vessels, and that his Lordship had been driven off the coast by the PACHA. The latter assertion throws some discredit on the former ; and, indeed, we find it asserted by a private letter in the Constitntionnel, from Vienna, that intelligence had reached Constantinople of the defection of the PACHA of Egypt, in conse quence of which despatches had been sent to REDSCHID PACHA, directing the SERASKIER to keep a close watch over the movements of IBRAHIM PACHA. Ihe same letter speaks of the dissatisfaction felt by the Porte, at Great Britain having offered her mediation between Russia and Persia. This is not improbable, for Turkey would naturally wish to prolong the contest between those powers, that it might operate as a diversion in her favour, and lessen the means of Russia to carry into effect her threatened invasion of the Empire of Mahomet. It does not appear that information had reached Paris, at the date of these Papers, of the illness of our lamented Minister. The intelligence of his death Will cause a strong sensation in that and every other capital in Europe, when it is received. Extracts will be found in another column. • FRENCH FUNDS, PARIS, AUG. 7.—Renter, Five per Cents. 103 f. 85c. ; Three per Cents. 73f. 35c. ; Bank Actions, 2,007 f. 50c.

Since writing the above we have received by Express a Copy of the Gazette de France, dated yesterday morning. The intelligence of the illness of Mr. CANNING had, as we expected, occasioned a very great sensation in Paris. The Funds declined ; the Five per Cents. to 103 f. 25c., and the Three per Cents. to 711, 90c. ; but a letter, accompanying our Express, states that the latter recovered in the evening to 72f. 20c. The Gazette de France does not contain any news. It has a long article on the affairs of Portugal, upon which hang, as it states, all the other questions which agitate politicians. The general object of this article is to prove that a remedy for the evils under which Portugal suf fers is not to be found in either extreme suggested by the opposite factions—namely, the return of DON PEDRO to Europe, as urged by the one, , or the presence of DON MIGUEL, in Portugal, as advocated by the other. FRENCH FUNDS, AUG. B.—Five per Cente. 103 f. 25c. ; Three per Cents. 71f. 90c. The intelligence which we published yester day from the Lisbon Gazette awakened new fears for the stability of the Constitutional Go vernment of Portugal ; and the information since conveyed to the public by the private correspon dence published by the Morning Papers, as well as by all other private communications which we have seen, is much calculated to in crease that apprehension. The removal of SAL DANHA, through the instrumentality of BASTOS, a known enemy to the Charter, is a convincing proof that the influence of the Apostolical party in the Councils of the PRINCESS REGENT has prevailed ; and we may, therefore, expect that every measure of her Government will, more or less, tend to prepare the way for that entire overthrow of the new system which the expected arrival of Don MIGUEL will CORSur nmate. _ This Prince is said to be actually on his way to Lisbon ; and there seems to be but little reason to doubt the accuracy of this assertion. If it be so, he will probably arrive at Madrid, on his way to Portugal, nearly at the same time at which the intelligence of the death of Mr. CANNING may reach that Capital, and the opportunity will not be lost by Spain to assist in effecting the re-establishment of an absolute Government in the neighbouring Kingdom. We predict, therefore, another convulsion in Portugal, unless by the energy of this country, or the arrival of Don PEDRO, some decisive measure can be adopted which may deprive the Apostolicals of the means of making an attempt to overthrow the Charter. At no period since its establish ment has so much danger existed as at the pre serand the part which Groat B r it a in must take momentis ; one of the greatest difficulty and tt delicacy. The loss of our illustrious Statesman at such a moment, when the whole powers of his extraordinary mind would have been required to avert the catastrophe which is to be appre hended in Portugal, is to be deplored as the greatest misfortune which could have befallen that Kingdom, and the cause of civil liberty in every country of the world. 'We received this morning the Journal of St. Petersburgh, of the 24th ult. containing some further news from the army in Georgia. One of the Persian Princes has solicited and received the protection of Russia : NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN GEORGIA. ST. PETERSSUMM, JULY 93. Major-General Pancratieff, commanding the corps of troops stationed in Karabagh, having been informed that the old Prince of Karabagh, Mekhti Kochi Khan, desired to place himself under the protection of his Majesty the Emperor, marched on the Bth June towards the defile of Araklin with two battalions of infantry, two pieces of light artillery, and four companies of Cossacks. The arrival of our troops made a great impression on the nomades whom Mekhti Kouli Khan had brought with him, and facilitated the means of bringing the family of the Khan, which was at a considerable distance on the right bank of the Araxes. On the 80th May, Mekhti Kochi Khan went to our bivouac, near Agli-Karavanserai, and declared that he was come to submit his fate to the magnanimity of his Imperial Ma jesty. A battalion of infantry and one cannon, and fifty Cossacks, were detached to facilitate the removal of 5,000 families, who had remained in the defile of Duraliagout, not having been able to follow the Khan into our territory, and Mekhti Kouli Khan went himself to prevent any oppo sition on the part of the Persians. Besides the salutary influence which it will have on the inhabitants of those districts beyond our frontiers, the re- . moval of those families, who belong to a warlike nation, roaming between Karabagh and Nakhitchevan, and who are able -to bring into the field above 4,000 excellent cavalry to carry on a partisan warfare, secures our com munications with the principal corps of the army, and the great numbers of cattle which they possess increases our resources for the supply of our troops. On the 17th June, at two o'clock in the morning, about 300 Sarbasiana suddenly attacked the advanced posts of the carabineers, who occupy the mountain Hameln's, but after a very brisk fire of musketry they were repulsed with loss. On the 20th June General Paskewitach arrived at Etch mindzine, where he received the brother of Assan, Sultan of the Shadlines, who came in his name, and in the name of the whole nation, to implore the protection of hie Ma jesty the Emperor. According to the account of the Shadlines who have escaped from Sarder Abad, that for tress is defended by 17 or 18 pieces of cannon, and a garri son of 1,000 Sarbasiana and 500 irregular sharp-shooters of Mazenderam. It has provisions for no more than two months, and the rations of bread of the garrison have already been diminished. On the 22d June the troops began a general movement towards the Garnitchai, a river which rune 20 werats be yond Erivan, on the road to Nakhitchevan. Major-General Troueson has received orders to erect batteries on the right bank of the Zanga, and to fire on the fortress with howitzers from Mount Heraelius. On the 21st of this month Count de Zichy, the Austrian Ambassador, had the honour to be admitted to an audience of his Majesty the Emperor, in which he delivered his cre dentials. On the same day Count Einsiedel, Minister Ple nipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary of his Majesty the King of Saxony, had likewise the honour to deliver his credontials to the Emperor. Up to the 14th July, 969 ships had arrived at Riga, sailed 745. By the Hague Journal of the Bth inst. we perceive that Mr. HesiussoN had set out from Stuttgard on the 2d, for Munich : STUTTGARD, AUG. 2. His Majesty our King set out yesterday for Italy: he is going to Leghorn for the benefit of sea-bathing, and will probably remain there some weeks. Mr. Huskieson, the English Minister, has left this city and is gone to Munich. His Royal Highness the LORD HIGH AD.. NIIRAL, sailed last evening, at half -past six o'clock, from Spithead, in the Royal Sovereign yacht, after visiting the Russian squadron. His Royal Highness is expected in town in the course of to-morrow. Our private letters from Lisbon state that Rear-Admiral Sir THOMAS HARDY, with the Experimental Squadron under his orders, was still in the Tagus, at the sailing of the Packet. It was supposed that Sir THOMAS, who was to have sailed a few days before, had been detained by Lord A. BEA UCLER K, in consequence of the state of affairs in Lisbon. It wa3 still be lieved among the Officers of the Experimental Squadron, that they were to proceed into the Mediterranean. By the David Lyon, BERRY, arrived off Plymouth from Jamaica, We learn that the Ferret sloop of war (with the letters per Cynthia packet, lost at Barbadoes,) arrived on the 17th June at that Island, and was appointed to sail from thence with a mail on the 10th ult. for Falmouth. The David Lyon sailed on the 20th June, but coming from the north side of the Island, brings no news. Mr. CANNING'S death was known at Paris, by Telegraph, a t three o'clock of the day on which he died. Before the packet sailed from Lisbon it was was known that Count VILLA FLOR was ap pointed Commander-in-chief of the garrison. The discontent was looked upon as a mere bagatelle. The letters recently received from Lima de scribe that capital to remain in a state of apparent tranquillity ; business was at a stand, arising from the very natural want of public confidence in the stability of the existing Government. The newly created Authorities had deemed it neeessary, as a measure of security, to recal the Peruvian troops which had been sent into the interior by IliomvAß, for the purpose of replacing them by the Colombian army, which atchieved the blood less Revolution of the 26th January ; a good understanding, however, appeared to prevail be tween the respective forces, and a grand enter tainment was given, in the middle of February, by the Colombian to the Peruvian Officers, which went off with much cordiality. The Press is declared free, and but for an occasional tirade which issues from that source, coupled with the stagnation of business already referred to, the late Revolution would scarcely be recollected.

ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 19. -In the afternoon of the 16th, Admiral Cochrane, with twenty-three vessels, appeared before Alexandria. A Turkish brig, which was cruizing before the port, attempted to enter pre cipitately, but run aground. A fire-ship which was sent against it having failed, it was soon burnt by a second fire-ship. On the 17th, in the morning, the Paella put to sea, with 13 sLips, determined to bring on a deci sive action, but the Greeks were out of sight. The Pacha, who did not go more than a league or two, returned into port, and soon after the Greeks again appeared at some distance. Several of the Pacha's frigates and corvettes which could not get out on the 17th, had got ready to sail on the 18th, in the morning. Twenty-three ships left the port to approach the Greek squadron, which has disappeared. The Pacha has returned ; his fleet has orders to pursue the enemy as far as Rhodes. TOULON, JULY 31.---The Scipio ship of the line, commanded by Captain Militia, sailed to-day for the Dardanelles. At the same time, the Dromedary transport sailed from Smyrna ; and the Adventure brig for Alex andria, whither they are going to escort the ships from Marseilles, for those seas. PARIS, AUG. 7.—The Memorial Bordelais says, " The state of Catalonia does not improve. From a letter received the day before yesterday, by the Superintendent of Police, who immediately set out to inform his Majesty of it, it appears that the risings continue, and that the watchword of the rioters is— ' The Inquisition for ever; down with the Police.' Besides the six regiments ordered to the province, to remain at the disposal of the Marquis de Campo Sagrado, five or six thousand men are going to be sent thither." (From the Constitutionnel.) (EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.) VIENNA, JULY 28.—Letters from Constantinople announce, that intelligence of the defection of the Pacha of Egypt has reached the Porte. A Tartar has been sent to Redschid Pacha, with despatches, directing the Seraskier to observe any movements which Ibrahim Pacha might make, in consequence of orders which he may have received of his father, the Viceroy of Egypt. They expect at Constanti nople the publication of a Firman, which, in declar ing Mehemet Pacha a rebel to the Porte, will set a , price upon his head, and command the Pachas in his neighbourhood to make war upon him. The Porte has, it is said, been greatly dissatisfied that the British Ambassador to the Emperor Nicho las should have received instructions from his Ca binet, to offer to the Court of St. Petevsburgh the mediation of England, for the purpose of the resto ration of peace between Persia and Russia, accord ing to the stipulations of the former treaty of Gu liStan, with the exception of an indemnity far the eipences of the war, to be paid by the Court of Teheran to Russia, the Persians having been the ag gressors, in suddenly invading the Russian te►ritory; the war, on the banks of the Araxes, appearing to the Porte to be a diversion of considerable use, under present political circumstances.

This very useful association commenced its meeting in the Clyde on Monday the 30th ult. The Yacht Club consists of an Irish and Scotch branch, now including 169 members, and its tonnage amounts to nearly 600 tons. It meets tivice a year—at Belfast in June, and in the Clyde in August. Having rendezvoused in Rothsay Bay on Monday morning, the yachts formed in line astern of the Commodore, and stood over to Largs, where the boat races took place. Four gigs started and rowed round a boat moored off Fairlie, through a heavy sea, which ducked the rowers considerably. The first prize was carried off by Mr. Robertson of Greenock's gig, and the second by a London built boat belonging to Mr. Langtry of Belfast. In the evening a ball took place attended by 150 persons ; the ball room was tastefully decorated with evergreens and flowers, and enlivened by the line music of Cunningham's band; dancing was kept up with spirit till an early hour in the morn ing, and attended by all the beauty 'and fashion of ,lhe neighbourhood. Tuesday was appointed for the race of the vessels of the first class, which were to sail round Lamlash Island to Rothsay. Eight yachts started with a fine westerly breeze ; but it having turned calm, followed by light southerly and variable winds, darkness closed the day ere the race was finished, by Mr. M'Cracken's cutter, Ariel, arriving at half-past 11, only 1i minute before Mr. Smith's Amethyst. Another ball took place in the evening, at Rothsay, attended by all the beauty and fashion of that gay watering pl a c e . Visitors came for the occasion from Glasgow, Greenock, Largs, &c. and amongst the number, some military gentlemen from the former place. The company amounted to nearly 200. On Wednesday the vessels of the second class sailed round Little Cumbrae to Greenock, passing in side of a boat moored near Largs. Five vessels started, Amethyst, J. Smith, Esq. ; Gypsey, W. Robertson, Esq. ; Falcon, W. Brown, Esq.; Elizabeth, J. Mac Nair, Esq.; and Nancy, J. Cairnie, Esq. arriving at Greenock in the order here set down, the Amethyst about 2i miles a-head of th e Gypsey, a t a b o ut 5 o'cl oc k p.m. The wind was squally, and blew fresh from the South, but gradually calming as they approached Greenock, till scarce enough was left to conduct the last cuttersithither.

TiieVICE-CIIANCELLOR was occupied the greater part of the day in examining the proceedings in the bankruptcy of a person named Parkinson, formerly carrying on the business of carver and gilder in Dimn street, Sobo. The case came before the Court upon a petition on the grounds of gross fraud. The affidavits in support of aad against the petition were of the most contradictory description, and it was evident that on the one side or the other crime had been committed. His Honour designated it a most wicked case, and directed it to stand over to Monday next, in order that be might have an oppor tunity of making himself acquainted with the facts as they were set forth in the affidavits, and, more particularly, that he might look over some account books, which appeared to bear upon the merits of the petition. SURREY ASSIZES.-(THIS DAY.) HOME CIRCUIT.—CROYDON. (Before Mr. Justice as SE LE v.) The press of criminal cases was so great that Mr. Sergeant ONSLOw sat in the Magistrate's room, this day, to dispose of the lighter cases, in order to get through them to-morrow. The Court below was crowded by respectable females, and the deepest interest seemed to prevail whilst the following case which had been fixed for this morning, was proceeded with. MURDER. Mary Brooks was indicted for killing and slaying Maria Brooks, the infant daughter of Henry Brooks, on the 18th of last April, at Newington. Another count charged her with killing a certain child named Maria. The prisoner who is rather a good looking young woman, was deeply affected; when put to the bar, she shed tears, and wished to plead guilty, but the Learned Judge most humanely recommended her to retract that plea, and she at length pleaded " Not guilty," and sat down apparently overcome by her feelings. Mr. MESSMER conducted the prosecution, and stated the circumstances of this distressing case.— He said he was anxious to spare the feelings of the unhappy prisoner in the state of mind in which she appeared : but it was his duty to lay before the Jury all the facts of the ease. The husband of the unhappy prisoner was a clerk in a mercantile house in the city. He wad married several years, and had only one child, the subject of the present prosecution. It appeared that the prisoner loved her child with the greatest tenderness, nor was there any rea son or motive to which the crime she had commit- ted could be traced. On the 18th April it appeared that the prisoner's husband engaged lodgings for him self his wife and child, at No. 6, Dean's-buildings, Newington. On the following day, Thursday, the 18th April, Mrs. Golding, the woman of the house, arose early in the morning, and heard the infant making a noise. She immediately sent her little boy to Mr. Brook's bed-room door, to ask if the fire should be lighted. In about half an hour after this occurrence, Mrs. Golding was alarmed by the cries of Mr. Brooks, and immediately proceeded to the bed-room door, which - she f oun d l oc k e d . Wi th the assistance of her son she burst open the door, and on entering the room discovered the prisoner bleeding in the neck, and the infant lying on the bed with her throat cut. The prisoner im mediately removed all doubts, by saying, that she had killed her only comfort, and would kill herself. A surgeon was then called in who would acquaint the Jury that the prisoner had severed not only the jugular artery, but the wind , pipe of the child, which of course occasioned its death. When the constable arrived lie questioned the prisoner as to her motive in committing so hor rible an act, and she replied " that she was deter mined that the infant should not live to know of her misconduct." There was no direct proof that the prisoner committed the dreadful act, but the charge was sufficiently proved by the prisoner's own con fessioN, rat-to the constable, and afterwards to Mrs. Golding. The prisoner's counsel (Mr. Law) would perhaps be able to prove that the prisoner was in a state of insanity when she committed the murder. 'At all events, there was no proof of malice, there was no proof of jealousy, nor any thing which could induce the prisoner to perpe trate so dreadful an act. If insanity could be proved, the Jury would bring in their verdict accordingly. But it was his duty to remind them, that in many cases, the worst characters might be shielded from punishment, unless the plea of insanity was received with great caution, in cases where it was impossible to ascribe the offence to any adequate motive. Martha Golding, of Dean't-building, Newington, stated that the prisoner came to lodge at her house in April last, thinks it was on 18th April; Mr. Brooks came with her, and brought an infant girl about six months old, they slept there on that night; in the morning witness heard the child's v o i ce , it ' was making a - noise which seemed to be rejoicing ; witness told her little boy to knock and ask if they would have the fire lighted, shortly after that she heard Mr. Brooks crying out, " Oh dear," very loudly, as if something very bad had happened ; went to the door, and I found it fast; witness with her son then forced the door open;_ and when they got into the room, they saw the infant lying on the bed with its throat cut. When she raised her eyes from the infant, she saw Mrs. Brooks, with her throat cut from ear to ear. Mr. Brooks, was raising ber hand, and picking up something from the floor.—(The un happy prisoner at this moment seemed almost convulsed.)—Witness. held Mrs. Brooks' head on her knee. Mr. Brooks asked why she had done it, and she replied, " because the infant should not know her misconduct." When the surgeon was in the room, prisoner asked whether the infant was dead. He said that she was dead ; and the prisoner observed, that she should not be upbraided for her misconduct now ; she said that she would perish herself if she could, but that she had not done what she meant. After the doctor was gone, the prisoner went and kissed the child and said. " How could she do that, she had killed the only comfort she had !" Cross-examined by Mr. LAW—It was past seven when she sent her boy up to Mr. Brooks's room.— Half an hour before this witness heard the child as it were crowing, and in the course of the p rece di ng day Mrs. Brooks seemed as if she was out of humour; witness remarked this. She said when she first came into the house that the officers were looking at her : Mr. Brooks said " Oh, nonsense, nonsense, Maria, how should the officers know you." Christopher F. Golding, son of the last witness. On the above morning assisted his mother in break ing thedoor of p r i soner ' s room , an d corro b orate d the testimony of last witness. Mr. E. D. Howitt, surgeon, was called to attend the child and prisoner on the above day, and found them in the bed-room. The prisoner sat on the floor, with her head supported by Mrs. Golding. The child was dead; it was dressed and lying upon the bed; witness examined it ; it appeared as if its throat had been cut; had been cut with a razor; that cut was the cause of its death ; witness then attended to Mrs. Brooks, and asked her what MO. tive she had for making away with the child; she gave witness the same answer as before; the bloody razor was lying on the table. Cross-examined by Mr. LAW.—The child ap peared to tie from six to seven months old, Wit. ness did not Meow the prisoner before. The priso ner was bleeding from a superficial wound. Joseph Snow, the constable of Newington, pro• deiced the razor, at which the unfortunate prisoner seemed dreadfully shocked. He also produced is certificate of the child's baptism. She was christened Maria. 'John Swift, surgeon, was called to attend she pri g sorter at the birth of the child. Had known her from thit time till th• present. In the course of his at tendance upon her, her manner was eery strange and unaccountable. - Witness considered, from circum, stances, that she was labouring under mental de, rahgemeet, Saw nothing of her after the 3d Wray; The Jury evidence, ar that if they deranged at consequence the care would hay , doing any ft, judging by I at the time sudden burs son's sense! insanity.
