THE SUN, 140}4 DON, SATURDA. VI] No, SEPTEMBER 13 '856 THE IRON MANUFACTURE AND MR. BESSEMER'S INVEYTION. (From the Birmingham Journal.) In fulfilment of the promise made last week, we proceed to lay before our readers extracts from the specifications of the patents of Mr. Bessemer, anti the other patentees, who lay claim to the invention which that gentleman has brought so prominently before the public. It is scarcely necessary to state that the object to be effected is the con version of cast iron into wrought iron by the extraction from the former of the carbon and other impurities which it contains. In the ordinary process of manufacturing wrought iron this is effected by the refinery and by pud dling. In the refinery the melted cast iron is treated by jets of air directed upon the melted metal ; in the puddling process the treatment is partly chemical and partly mecha nical, the action of the air being continued, combined with the reaction of the slag upon the yet impure iron. By the final mechanical treatment to which the iron is subjected the slag is removed from the now purified metal. The leading idea in the several processes we are about to de scribe has been that the action of air and the division of the metal for the purpose of favouring that action might be advantageously carried to a greater extent than is customary in the ordinary process of manufacture. In the method proposed by Mr. Plant currents of air and steam are directed upon the iron while it is in the puddling furnace. In Mr. Martien's process currents of air and steam are forced through the melted cast iron as it runs from the blast furnace. Mr. Bessemer forces jets of air and steam through the melted metal in a vessel or appa ratus, into which it has been run from the blast furnace for the purpose of being operated upon. We will notice these patents in chronological order. Of the apecificaticn of Mr. Plant's patent no copy has been published, but condensed reports have appeared in the London Journal of Arts and Mechanic's Magazine. From the former work we give the following extracts. The date and title of Mr. Plant's patent are appended : "Letters patent to Reuben Plant, of Holly Hail Col liery, near Ludley, in the county of Worcester, coalmaster, for improvements in making bar or wrought iron. Patent dated July 18,1849." " For a puddling furnace of the ordinary dimensions, there should be three lines of tuveres across the top of the furnace, each line consisting of three tuyeres, and each tnyerebeing one inch in diameter; the line furthest from the chimney should be the tuyeres for the blast, and the other two lines the steam tuyeres for the paddling and preparatory chambers. The blast is to be at a pressure of one pound and upwards to the square inch, and the steam is to be used at a pressure of ten pounds and upwards on the square inch. The blast should be introduced at the top of the puddling chamber, just behind the fire-bridge, in a slanting direction, so ad to drive the name, as it en ters the puddling chamber, down upon the whole surface of the iron. The steam from the tuyeres should be intro duCed as nearly as passible at the same place, so as to fall in like manner at once upon the whole surface of the iron in the puddling chamber. "It is stated that by means of the above arrangements the heat of the puddling and preparatory chambers can be regulated with great nicety without the employment of the damper usually inserted in the chimney of a pud dling furnace. When the metal in the puddling chamber is melted the blast is to be shut off, and steam in troduced through the tuyeres until the iron boils. The steam is then to be turned off, and the blast is again brought into action till the iron appears above the cinder. The blast should now be shut off, and the iron finished by the ordinary draught in the usual manner, or the heat may be raised and lowered, as required, in the way above described. The damper over the fire-brigade is to be raised and lowered from time to time, to increase or lower the heat of the pud dling chamber, as may be found requisite. " The patentee says he does not claim the application alone either of blast or steam in the working of an ordinary paddling or other furnace; nor does he confine himself to the details shown and described above, so long as the peen• liar character of his improvement be maintained He claims as his improvements in making bar or wrought iron the use of hot or cold blasts with steam jets, and hot or cold blasts with the damper described, or with ordinary damper in the draught of the chimney* regulate the heat in the puddling chamber ; and he claims the use of hot or cold blasts and steam jets, and steam jets themselves, to regulate the heat in the said puddling and preparatory chambers respec tively, instead of the ordinary damper." Mr. Martien appears to have approached so nearly to Mr. Bessemer, that we give all the essential part of his spe cification, as published by the Commissioners of Patents. The title and date of Mr. Martien's patent are as follows : " Letters patent to Joseph Gilbert Martien, of Newark, New Jersey, United States of America, for the invention of improvements in the manufacture of iron and steel. Pa- tent dated Sept. 15, 1855. This invention has for its ob ject the purifying of iron when in a liquid state from a blast fuinace, or from a refinery surface, by means of at mospheric air, or of steam, or vapour of water, applied be low, and ito that it mayrise up among, and completely pene trate and search every part of the metal prior to the Congo lation, or before such liquid metal is allowed to set, or prior to its being run into a reverberatory furnace, in order to its being subjected to puddling, by which means the manufacture of wrought iron by puddling such purified cast iron and also the manufacture of steel therefrom in the ordinary manner are improved. " In carrying out my invention, in place of allowing the melted iron from a blast furnace simply to flow in the ordinary gutter or channel to the bed or mounds, or to re finery or puddling furnaces in the ordinary manner, I em ploy ohannels or gutters, so arranged that numerous streams of air, or of steam, or vapour of water, may be passed through and among the melted metal as it flows from a blast furnace. "I prefer, in carrying out my invention, that tho ordi nary process of refining iron by the use of a refinery fur nace should be dispensed with, and that the purifying of the iron shonld be accomplished by subjecting the melted iron from a blast furnace, before it is allowed to con geal, to the action of streams of air or of steam passed up through and among the melted metal ; at the same time I would state that where it is preferred by others still to resort to the ordinary process by remelting, then my invention is to be applied to the melted metal as it flows from such furnace to a bed or moulds, in like manner to what I will now describe as applicable to blast furnace. The channel or gutter employed may be of any suitable material, but I prefer it to be of cast-iron, the bottom part being made hollow to receive steam, or air, or both. This gutter is perforated with numerous holes, which I prefer to be inclined, so that the streams of air or steam may be forced through the melted metal (as it flows along the gutter) in an oblique direction, but, by preference, in the direction iu iwhich the metal flows. This, however, is not essential, as the streams of air or steam may be passed directly up or through the melted metal; or the holes may be inclined in the opposite direction, so as to oppose the flow of the melted metal. When hot blast or cold blast is used, I prefer to connect the hollow bottom of the gutter with the air pipes used for supplying the blast, and, when steam is employed, I connect the hollow bottom of the gutter with the boiler used. By this means the air or steam introduced in the hollow bottom of the gutter below the metal will rise up, and be forced through it in nume rous streams; or, in place of the gutter being tho means of applying streams of air below the fluid iron as it comes from a blast furnace, the moulds or b: is into which the heated iron is received may be arranged with means for introducing air or steam below the melted metal, and t divide such air or steam into numerous streams, so that the iron may be purified thereby after it has come from the blast furnace, and before the congelation of the liquid metal takes place. "The gutter 'or channel above mentioned may be covered over for any part of its length, and it may be arranged in a suitable manner to admit of beat being applied to the metal therein ; and such is also the case with respect to the moulds or bed, in order that heat may be continued to the fluid metal after it has left the blast furnace, and while the process above described of purifying the metal is going on. The iron thus purified may be allowed to cool in the moulds, or it may be run from the gutter, channel, or receiver, into a reverberatory or suitable furnace, to be highly heated therein, and may be puddled in the ordinary meaner. " I world remark that I am aware that it has before been proposed to use streams of steam in puddling and re finery furnaces in such manner as to come in contact with the surface of the 'melted metal therein ; and it has also been proposed to introduce steam below melted iron when puddling the same. And I mention these cases in order to state that I make no claim thereto; but what I claim is, the purifying iron from a blast furnace or a refinery fur nace while still in a melted state, as herein described." The extracts given below will sufficiently explain the nature of Mr. Bessemer's invention. Those parts of his specification which we do not give consist of descriptions of machinery and apparatus, which would be unintelligible without drawings, and which have nothing to do with the general principles of the invention. We beg the reader to note that the patent we refer to is Mr. Bessemer's first, for im provement in the manufacture of iron and steel, and bears date Jan. 4, 1856. Mr. Bessemer has subsequently had patents relating to iron and steel bearing the following dates :—viz., Feb. 12, 1856 ; March 15, 1856 ; May 31 , 1856 ; Aug. 19, 1856. The one dated in Feb. is specified, but the specification is not yet printed. The subirequent ones are not specified. " Letters patent to Henry Bessemer, of Queen-street place, New Cannon-street, in the City of London, for im provements in the manufacture of iron and steel. Patent aated Jan. 4,18.5 G. " Now the object of my present invention is the more rertict and complete refinement of the iron, where b y it gradually loses the properties common to pig o r crude iron, and acquires th e properties of cast steel, or of pure or decarbonised iron, w hil e i t st i ll pre serves sudi a state or fluidity as will admit of its bring c ast into ingots or other desired f orms or articl,s by the rroc3ss of fouuding. For which p urpose I expose the iron in a more divided or extended form to the intense heat of the furnace or furnaces herei na ft er de scribed and to the oxidising action of a blast of ai r, b y keeping such fluid metal in motion and continually bring. P$ fresh portions of it in co atact with oxygen, and with the intensely ignited fuel, or with the highly l &eated interior surface of the furnace, the metal being thus kept in a fluid state until the desired amount of decarbonisati( na or refine ment is arrived at. . . " The iron to be used for the purposes of my pr, 3sent inven tion may be conveyed by a gutter in a fluid state direct from the smelting furnace, where it has been obtain ed from the ore, and be allowed to flow into the improved I furnace or furnaces hereinafter described, or it may be oh tained from any convenient form of smelting furnace, or tl Le iron may undergo a previous partial refinement in the o: Ed or in any other convenient way ; and which iron I proci )ed to ecru]. plete the refinement of in any one of the lollom ing modifi cations of apparatus. " Having thus described my invention, and the manner in which the same may be carried into effect, I d esire it to be understood that I do not confine myself to the pr ecise details herein specified, provided that the peculiar char acter of my invention be retained ; but what Ido claim, ft rstly, is the conversion of fluid crude iron into steel or int . ) malleable iron by exposing the metal to the decarbonisir action of currents of air in furnaces, through which the metal is al lowed to fall for that purpose. And also, in tb a manufac ture of iron and steel, the alternate rising and lowering of two furnaces, so as to allow the fluid metal be flow from one to the other in the manner, and for the puir . poses, before described. "Secondly, I claim, in manufacturing malleable iron and steel from crude iron while still in a fluid state•, the use of revolving furnaces, having apparatus in the interior for the purpose of elevating portions of the metal, and allowing it again to fall in streams or showers when exposed to the ac tion of currents of air passing through the furnace. " Thirdly, I claim, in the manufacture of iron and steel, the suspension of the fluid metal in the furnace by means of centrifugal force generated by the rotation of such furnace, and the forcing into, through, or upon the fluid metal so suspended currents of air or steam. _ _ " Lastly, I claim the manufacture of bars, rods, or plates of steel by the cementation of bars or rods of malleable iron that gave been obtained by the direct conversion of crude iron into malleable iron, and while still in a fl aid state caste in suitable moulds." In our last number we sufficiently discussed the action of oxygen, both direct and indirect, in the purificatiau of iron. As, however, all the patentees whose inventions we have noticed employ steam as well as air, it may be useful if we briefly examine what may be hoped for from the use of that agent. Mechanically, it may be useful in agitating the liquid metal, and thereby exposing it more effectually to the action of the air. But the steam may or may wit have a powerful chemical action, according to the con di. tion under which it is presented to the iron. Let us F.up pose a quantity of iron to be fused in an atmosphe'..e of steam, or even only heated to redness, we should find, after the lapse of a very short time, that the steam had been de composed, oxide of iron formed, and hydrogen liberated. The water vapour is composed of oxygen and hydrogen, and iron at a red heat decomposes this compound by com bining with the oxygen. But the whole of the steam in which the iron is heated will not be decomposed ; as soon as the hydrogen has accumulated in a certain proportion all further decomposition will stop. Bearing carefully iu mind this experiment, let us examine another. Suppose oxide of iron (iron ore) to be heated to redness in an at mosphere of hydrogen, the hydrogen in this case will take oxygen from the oxide of iron, water or steam will be formed, and metallic iron reduced. But in this, as in the former case, the reaction described will stop as soon as a certain quantity of hydrogen has been absorbed, or the re maining gas been diluted to a certain extent with steam. Further, if a stream of hydrogen is passed over heated oxide of iron, it will withdraw oxygen, and reduce the metal; and if a current of steam be passed over metallic iron, the water will be decomposed, and the oxide of iron formed. How can we explain these capricious pheno mena ? Thus. Whenever one or other of the gaseous substances (steam or hydrogen) is in excess, that one exer cises a paramount action. When a current of steam passes over iron, it is decomposed, but the hydrogen liberated is swept away, and does not exercise its reducing action on the oxide of iron. On the other hand, when a current of hydrogen is employed, the steam formed is swept away, and the reducing action of the hydrogen is not interfered with. In the quiet atmosphere of steam or hydrogen sup posed in our first experiments the same effect virtually takes place. In the one case, a small quantity of steam is diffused in a large quantity of hydrogen, and does not ar rest its action ; in the other case, a small quantity of hy drogen does not arrest the action of the iron on the steam. Now, lest the reader should suppose that these are only imaginary experiments, we assure him that the faots described are well known to chemists and are regularly re peated in all extended courses of shemical demonstration. They'are as certainly true as that salt dissolves in water, or that fire cannot burn without air. Why have we gone into this detail ? For the purpose of justifying our opinion that none of the inventors whose specifications we have re ferred to appear to have clear conceptions of what steam can do in the purification of iron, or of the conditions which must be observed before it can do anything matorial save carry off large quantities of heat. The blowing of steam upon or through iron is mere child's play, unless it be applied to the iron at the proper stage, and the condi tions carefully observed, under which alone, as far as our knowledge yet extends, it can have any marked effect. The intelligent application of steam to the manufacture of iron has yet to be made. We dismiss, therefore, from our consideration that part of each of these inventions which relates to the use of steam ; we believe such an intelligent use to b 3 of very doubtful value. What of the remaining part of each? It appears to us, after the most impartial consideration we can give to the subject, that whatever merit attaches to the blowing of air upon molten iron in the puddling furnace must be awarded to Mr. Plant ; that the blowing of air in small jets through moulten iron, after it has left the blast ' furnace, is clearly the property of Mr. Martien and that Mr. Bessemer must be content with whatever advantage can be shown to arise from the use of the particular appa ratus which he employs. There are doubtless many other patents bearing on this subject, but we have only thought it necessary to refer to those which have been prominently brought forward during the discussion induced by Mr. Bessemer's experiments. It is much to be hoped that we shall soon have an opportunity of consulting the hidden treasures connected with this sub ject which at present lie entombed in the Great Seal Patent Office. Among the series of specification of old patents which the Commissioners of Patents are now publishing we may reasonably trust that those relating to the manufacture of iron will soon appear. When that time arrives we do not doubt that a flood of light will pour upon us, which will surprise even those best acquainted with the production of iron. It is a reproach upon the manufacture's of this country that so little has hitherto been done towards the creation of a literature of manufacturing art. How princely the fortunes that have been made by ironmastors, how scanty our knowledge of the history of iron ! How bound less our materials, how niggardly have we laboured at them ! Our debt how great, our gratitude how small ! If we were asked what discovery had " beyond compare," confurredthe greatest material blessings upon our world, we should confidently answer, " The hardening and tempering of steel." Of what importance to mankind have been the decals of heroes, or the fall of empires, besides this little discovery ? They are as feathers in the balance to weigh against its vast importance. It will live through all time and bless all generations yet to come. Does the reader smile in incredulity ? The pen that writes this, the press that shall print it, the engine that shall carry it from one end of our island to the other, then the needle, " faithful to the pole," the chronometer, whose unerring pulsations shall guide the mariner on the trackless deep,—these, too, shall be our witnesses. Almost every implement in almost every art is made of tempered steel, and without it many arts would be impossible. Every cutting tool is made of it,—the graver of the artist, the chisel of the sculptor, the mattock of the excavator, the pickaxe of the miner, the woodman's adze, and the warrior's sword. Every die in which metals are shaped or coins struck, every percussive implement, from the smallest hammer, to the most power. fill stamp—in short, all cutting, sawing, planing, filing, turning, rolling, drawing, pressing, and hammering tools are made of it. Withdraw these from the world and what helpless creatures we should be ! How greatly are we Lidebted, then, to the man who first observed that by heating steel and quenching it in water it was made hard as adamant, second only to the diamond in hardness• What research would not the discovery of this man's name —nay, only of the country that gave him birth—repay ? If we could find him, no pyramid too great, no poet's song too wild, to do him honour. But Time, that "feeds ob livion with decay of things," has wiped his name both from history and from fable, and denied us the opporLunity of paying him the homage due. But he has left his mark upon the world, and time will never efface that. How long has mau possessed this secret, more precious than the philosopher's stone, more strange than charm of Eastern romance? In the painted history of that wondrous peo ple, the ancient Egyptians, figures are occasionally found, carrying cutting implements coloured blue. In theopinion of those best fitted to judge, it was intended to indicate steel by this colour. A letter from Wiborg, in Finland, of the 29th ult., says :--"One of the most colossal enterprises ever under taken in Finland, the construction of a canal from Saima to \Viborg, has just been terminated, after 12 years' un interrupted labour, though 16 had been consi,lered neces ,,ary. This immense canal, which has innumerable branches, places the interior of Finland, where there are scarcely any roads, in direct communication with the Gulf of Bothnia. The length of it, including the branches, is equal to a third of the total length of Fin land." THE OUTRAGE AT BRENTWOOD — I 3IIENII7O3D, Fri• oay.--Vesterday the borough bench of magistrates (the Rev. T. Ledbey in the chair) assembled at the Court house, for the purpose of investigating the charge against two young fzentlemen of italependent prepay, named Rimund and Alfred Hoof, of being concerned in the death of John George, a baker, of this town. The ma. gistrates retired, and, after a short deliberation, the chairman said their unanimous opinion was that the two prisoners had aided and abetted in the offence for whiCh Cooper was to be tried. The prisoners were then com mitted for trial for manslaughter. Bail to the extent of 2;0001. was accepted for their appearance at the ensuing assizes. MURDER OF A Tir M AN NEAR LEEDS. In, TA t Sun of yesterday we briefly stated that a mur der of a very atrocious character had been committed at Armley, near Leeds, about noon on Thursday. We now subjoin the evidence given yesterday. The name of the deceased was Jane Benham, and not Barnum, as stated yesterday, and the person charged with the murder now gave his name as John Hanrab. He is a fine, intelligent looking young man, about 24 years of age, and there is aothing in his features to indicate such depravity as his conduct proves. He stated that he was a tailor by trade, and it appears that for two or three years preceding last Christmas he and the deceased had cohabited together, and the deceased had borne two children to him. JUst before last Christmas she left him, and having made re peated unsuccessful attempts to induce her to live with him again, he came to Leeds on Thursday morning. He obtained an interview with the deceased, who was a dancer at Wild's travelling theatre, which has been at tending the feast at Armley, and during the interview he cut her throat in the most determined manner. The father of Banham had been with them a few minutes before, and left them to arrange with each other as to what was to be done, and it is supposed that during his absence she had refused to go with Hannah, and that, becoming exasperated, he murdered her. She died at 2 o'clock on Thursday. The inquest on the body was held at the Malt-mill, Armley, yesterday, before Mr, A. Horsfall, deputy coroner, and the jury. The prisoner was brought up in custody from the borough gaol, and was received with groans and hisses by a large crowd of people who had collected outside the inn, and on entering the room he exclaimed, " Why, surely they want to murder me." He was not aware of the death of the deceased until the coroner's officer swore the foreman to inquire into the cause of death, when he seemed quite aghast and moved convulsively from his seat. The jury having viewed the body, the following witnesses were examined : John Lyons said—l am a come di an i n th e company] of Mr. Samuel Wild, the proprietor of a travelling theatre. I knew the deceased. Her name was Jane Benham. She was the principal dancing lady in our company. She was in the company when I joined it in June last. I saw her a little past 12 on Thursday outside the door of the Malt-mill. At that time she was standing looking round for assistance, and was streaming with blood, apparently from the throat, but I was horrified and ran for a druggist, and re quested him to wait upon her. I did not return, as I was taken quite ill by the sight, and had not sufficient nerve. I was in the bar before that, and heard the cry of "Murder 1" which proceeded from the landlady, who rushed into the bar with a child, whose face was covered with blood. She also exclaimed, "He is cutting her throat." I understood her to mean the person who was in the parlour with the deceased. I did not see that person in the parlour with the deceased ; but when the landlady rushed out I saw the prisoner standing at the door with his hands covered with blood, and I then rushed out of the house into the street. In a second or two afterwards I saw the deceased, who had followed me. I have aaet the prisoner twice before—once in Man eaester and once in Halifax, but I had no acquaintance with him, and knew him merely by sight. I never heard his name until this morning. John Hope said—l am a musician and painter at Wild's Theatre, and live at present at Armley. The de ceased was my daughter. She had been married, and her husband's name was Wm. Benham. He was an eques trian. He was in Australia when I last heard of him. , I last saw my daughter alive about 5 minutes past 12. She was outside the Malt-mill, and had her throat cut from ear to ear. About 10 minutes before that I was in the house with the deceased and the prisoner. They were then in the parlour. I was in the room with them two or three minutes. At that time he was prevailing on her to go back with him to Manchester or some other place, and he appealed to me. I said, "I will have nothing to do ' with it; settle those matters among yourselves," and I left the house. They had previously lived together as man and wife, I should say, for two years. They bad two children. lam not aware that they had any dis agreement while they lived together, but she left him about a fortnight before Christmas and came to ate at Blackburn. She has resided with me ever since. She came with me here. There was no quarrelling when I was in the room. He was entreating her to go with bim, and she refused. When I saw her standing out side the door of the Malt-mill, with her throat cut, I had her youngest child in my arms, and was so horror stricken that I could do nothing. I moved about, and Mrs. Myers, with whom I lodged, took the deceased back into the house. I never saw her again alive. When I saw the. prisoner with my daughter in the parlour he was, in my opinion, perfectly sober. By the Foreman.—l did not see the prisoner previous to his seeing my daughter, nor after peeing her alive, nor had I any conversation with him other than I have stated. Ido not know whether my daughter had been corresponding with him, but on Tuesday I received a letter addressed to "Jane Hope, Wild's Theatrical Es tablishment, Armley," which I opened. The letter has been destroyed. The deceased was known by the name of Jane Banham. I gave the letter to my wife, who gave it to the deceased, and she destroyed it. The let ter was signed " John Hannah." It contained expres sions of affection for her, and how happy he should be if she would return to him. It she would not return he desired to have the oldest child. I don't know where it was written from. William Isaac Blanshard, a comedian in Mr. Wild's company, who witnessed the perpetration of the murder, next deposed—l saw the prisoner make two cuts at the deceased's throat, and in the second cut the razor was broken. I ran out and asked for a doctor. Some one said, " What's the matter ?" I replied, "Nothing,—go for a constable." The prisoner then came out and said, "Now, take me." I went to the surgery of Mr. Rickards, and also for the constable. I afterwards saw the prisoner at the Bay Horse in custody. He asked me to shake hands with him, and I turned away, he remarking something to the following effect :—" What do you think of that 9 It's a clean job for a madman just come oat of an asylum," or some place of incarceration. He was then taken away to Leeds. By a Juror—l don't know that the prisoner has been in an asylum. I never saw a man more sober in my life, in my opinion. He was rather agitated. Mr. A. Rickards said—l am a medical student with my brother, who is a surgeon in Armloy. I was called in to attend the deceased yesterday, a few minutes after 12. I found her sitting in an arm chair just outside Mrs. Myers's door. She was streaming with blood, and her face was covered with blood. I got her removed into the house, and on examining her I found the throat cut from ear to ear. The bleeding had partly stopped. I told the person in charge of the house that she would die, but that ho must go for another medical man as soon as pos sible. By and by my brother cause and remained with her until she died. She died at 2 o'clock, The wound was undoubl;edly the cause of death. The wound had been inflicted with a sharp instrument. Mr. G. H. L. Rickards said—l am a surgeon at Arm ley. Yesterday I was called in to attend the deceased. I got there about a quarter to 1, and found my brother there. I found the deceased sitting in a chair perfectly sensible. I saw a fearful gash across the throat, commenc • ing under the left ear, and terminating on the right side of the vertebra ;it measured 11 inches in length. She was deluged in blood, but there was nut much hemor rhage going on at the time; her countenance was blanched, and her pulse excessively feeble for loss of blood ; there were no large vessels bleeding at the time, but there was a continual oozing of blood. I saw that she must necessarily die within a very short time. I saw that the wound could not have been inflicted by herself. I then went back to her, and said, " I know you can't speak ; so don't attempt it. I have heard from your father of your connection with this man. Had you any quarrel with this man before this took place ? You must shake your head if you mean No,' and nod if you mean Yes.'" She shook her head. I asked her it she expected it, and she again shook her head. I said, " You had not been long together in the room ?" and she nodded her head. I raid, "Then you were wanting to come out of the room, and he pulled you back and did it ?" She nodded . her head. I had previously stated in her hearing that she could not re cover, and she might have heard it. I remained with her until she died, using every means to stop the bleed ing. I have this morning made a post-moriem, examina tion of the parts. I found the whole of the soft parts in front of the neck divided, from the skin to the back bone. The wound begins just below the left ear, and is swept completely across to below the right ear. The instrument then seems to have been inserted into the wound, and the gash continued as far as the spine backwards. The different vessels of the larynx are di vided, and on the left side the deep jugular was wounded. On the right side the external jugular was divided, and the deep jugular along with the carotid both wounded, together with the small vessels in the neighbourhood. The instrument had passed immediately above the thy roid artery, slicing off a piece of it, and leaving the epi glottis attached to the upper part of the wound, and passing backwards, had also divided the gullet. There were five smaller incised wounds on the chin, one on the left side and four on the right, which, together with the appearance of the principal wounds, proved that the wounds must have been caused by a person standing at the back and the right side of the deceased. The de ceased must have received the wounds from some person at the back. There was also a long wound on the third finger of the right hand, apparently caused by her en deavouring to defend herself. The bleeding from the wound in the throat was the cause of death. lam sur prised she lived so long. The wound might be made by such a razor as the one produced. I found in the neck a bit of straw similar to that of the deceased's bonnet. The prisoner declined to ask any questions. Mr. James Slater, grocer, Armley, said—About a quarter past 12 o'clock yesterday I was coming up the road, and met the prisoner in a very excited state. He was pulling a cap out of his pocket, and exclaiming, " I have had my revenge. They may do what they like. I don't care how soon I die. I am ready to die." William Winder, constable, said—l received the razor and haft, dress, coat, bat, and bonnet from Mr. Slater, and now produce them. The razor and haft, which are very strong, were covered with blood and hair. The bonnet was found out on the right side. George Sanderson said—l am a shoemaker, and live at Armley- Yesterday, about a quarter or it) minutes past 12 o'clock, I was coming up the branch road, 200 or 300 yards from the Malt-mill, when I met Thomas Jackson, calling out, "Step him !" and on turning round I saw some one running. I pursued, and, along with two others, chased the prisoner up to Castleton lodge, where he had been stopped by the gardener. We told him he had stabbed a woman, and be said what he had done he did not care for. She should not have vexed him to do it. I told him he must go back with us, an'l we brought him to the Bay Horse, Armley, and while there a policeman came and took him in charge. He came very quietly. In reply to the prieoner, the witneee aid he (the poi. soner) was covered with blood, and rather the worse for liquor. By the Coroner—l did not perceive anything else peculiar in his appearance. By the Foreman—He was not drunk, but he seemed to have had something. He staggered and rambled in his walk. He was neither drunk nor sober, but like a man who bad had something. He was excited. Wrn. Johnsoa said—l am the gaoler of the Leeds lock- up. The prisoner was brought to me yesterday about half-past 1, while the Court was sitting. His clothes were very bloody. His shirt-front and wristbands were bloody. I was ordered to search him by the magistrates. I put my right hand into his right hand coat pocket, and my hand went up to the wrist in blood. I found a pair of scissors folded up in paper, and a short pipe. I found the forefinger of his right hand cut in two places. There was a large cut on the upper part of the finger, and one near the end. .The right side of his trou sers and his hoot wei e covered with blood. His left hand was also covered with blood, and his coat. When be fore the magistrates he appeared very fresh. About two hours afterwards he was better, and I wont to him in the yard and asked him his name. He said "John Allen," that ho was '22 years of age, was a tailor, and resided at Manchester, that his f a th er an d mother lived there, and he was one of nine children ; he was a twin, and the other brother had just returned from the Crimea with three clasps. He said he had only come fram May. chester that morning, and was storekeeper at some thee. tre. He was not married, but had lived with Jane Banhain about three years as man and wife. They bad two children. fie added, " She has slighted me for some time and wanted to be quit of me, but I liked her and would not be put off. When I found that she would not accept of me I tried for my children." I asked him if they were his children. He replied, "I am sure they are mine." He after wards said, " I hope there is nothing serioas the matter. I have tried her with fair means, and I thought I would frighten her. I did not intend to hurt her, but when we were d own I f oun d s h e was rat h er master f rae, and I pulled out my razor. She caught hold of it and caused the first cut on my finger. I got it from her, and she seized it again, and that caused the second cut." He asked, "Have you heard how she is?" I said, "I decline to answer that question, but I hope there is nothing serious." By the Foreman.--I did not search him for any money. The prisoner said he had nothing to ask Johnson, but he did not recollect any conversation with him. Mr. Hope, recalled.—l saw the prisoner in Halifax last June, and when I was walking with him, discussing the matter, he said, "I'll be hung for her yet." After talking to him I agreed that she should meet him the next morning if he would go away quietly, and they might then settle the matter between them. They did meet, but I did not hear what passed between them. This closed the evidence, when the Coroner proceeded to sum up, and the prisoner having expressed a wish to make a statement, The . Coroner read the usual caution to him, after which The prisoner said—l wish to say I was not sober or in my senses, whatever your verdict may be. You tray bring it in what you like. As to any old grievances, there has never been any illwill in me towards her, as her father states. I have had letters from her since she left for Halifax, asking me to come over any time to see her and the children, and she would be glad to see me. I had been drinking some time at Manchester, and I came over yesterday ; and I had drink both in Leeds and here. I had drink along the road, and I recollect it was mostly rum that I had. I can't say what followed after that, until I found myself in prison this morning. I have nothing more to say, but I had no intention to commit any crime such as I am convicted of now. I was in drink. I loved her and my children dearly. The room was then cleared, and, after a few minutes deliberation, the public were re-admitted, and the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against John Hannah, after which the inquest was formally adjourned to this day for the signing of the depositions. The prisoner, who appeared to feel most acutely his posiiion, and wept bitterly after making his own state. ment, was subsequently removed back again to the borough gaol, amid the hisses and execrations of a crowd outside the public-house. EXECUTION OF TWO MURDERERS IN CALIFORNIA. The vigilance committee had caused two mur derers, Hetherington and Brace, to be executed on the 28th of July. The following description of the execution we extract from the Alta Californian: — "At Half-past five o'clock the preparations at the gal lows being completed, the executive committee were escorted from their rooms to the vicinity of the gallows, where they occupied a separate position in a body. The prisoners were then brought down from their cells, and placed each in a carriage, accompanied by a guard of officers, and were driven to the execution ground. A death-like stillners prevailed among the spectators and soldiers as the carriages approached, and many of them stood uncovered. Both of them ascended the scaffold with a firm step, and were to all appearance little affected by the scene before them. The Rev. Mr. Thomas, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, also went upon the scaffold, accompanied by two or three officers, who officiated as executioners. The arms of the pri soners were pinioned when they ascended the gallows, and their lower limbs were firmly bound as soon as they reached the platform. Both aided the officers in adjust ing the noose to their necks. With great coolness they took off their neck-ties, and loosened their shirt collars as unconcernedly as though they were about the most ordinary affairs of life. When the ropes were placed upon their necks, Brace turned to his companion and extended his hand, which was taken by Hetherington, when a few words passed as though they were bidding adieu to each other, and Hetherington proceeded to ad- dress the assemblage. Hetherington then spoke as follows:—Gentlemer,--You may think me a hardened sinner, but I appear before you cool, unconcerned, and free. lam now about to meet my Maker. To the best of my knowledge, here I have not lived one day in my life that I was afraid to meet my Maker that night. (ro tse Reporter.—Have you got that !) Do not think that I am boastful or bragging ; such is not my case. The Rev. Bishop Kipp has been with me al! day—not all day, but nearly all day. " Brace.—Gro on—go on with what you have, to say (tie executioner checked him). Away, you-- son of a --. " Hetherington.—l am not any more penitent to-day than I have been any day of my life. " Brace.—Go on, old hoss. "Hetherington.—ln a conversation which I had with Mr. O'Brien two weeks ago, our conversation turned upon religion, and I assured him that there never was a day in my life— "Brace.—Hurry up, and not stop so long. Do you think I want to stand here and be stared at by these ig noramuses ? I wish to meet my doom immediately. " Hetherington.—They tell me to stop. (Several voiced in the crowd, 'Speak on; go on, Hetherington.') " Hetherington.—l have not disobeyed any of the rules of that house (pointing- to the committee-rooms.) I should be very sorry to do it ; if you will say go on, I will go on. " Brace.—Go on, and brave it out. DOH% talk about Dr. Kipp ; they don't want to know anything about him. " Hetherington (after a pause).—Where did I leave off ? What was I saying ? (A. Voice, ' About Dr. O'Brien.') " Hetherington.—Our conversation turned upon re ligion. " Brace ('aughing).—Ab, ab, I am drunk, so I am all ri g ht. " Hetherington —I told the doctor I was prepared to met my God at any moment • awl further, that I never lived one day in my life that I was not prepared to meet my God at tde night. Dr. P. O'Brien will make an affi davit to that, I think, if called upon. " Brace.--You have your vengeance, gentlemen, to your hearts' content. I don't care a I wpnt you to understand that clearly, fully aad distinctly, gents: " Iletherington.—Tho gentlemen have given orders for to go ahead. I will change my note, and will merely say, as o:ders have been given to stop, that in the first dfficalty I had with Dr. Baldwin I had to shoot him ;n defence of my own life. " Brace.--71 shall die murdered by the vigilance com mittee, July 29, 1856. I wish that clearly and distinctly understood on the house-top there. "Hetherington.--I was acquitted of that, but still it hangs upon me. I must stop ; but I will add, that so far as killing Dr. Randall is concerned, I mere,y asked for a conversation with M`Corkle, when he turn ed round and ,drew his pistol immediately. I merely shot him to save my own life. I have lived a gentle man all my life, and will die a gentleman, though onthe gallows. I defy any man in the whole world to prove that I have done one dishonourable act in my whole life. I have been abused by the public press of this city, where I have resided fi ve or s i x years, f or some cause unknown to me. I am row in a few minutes to be launched into eternity. You may please yourselves, notwithstanding I have no bad feeling towards any per son living. I forgive every man freely, as I expect my Redeemer to have mercy on mu. Lord have mercy on my soul I "Brace-- -- it, dry up ! What's the use talking to them ? "Hetherington —I was going to make a remark that very few people-- "Brace —Go it, old hose ! "Hetherington —I have led a life pure, wild, and above all reproach. As to how I have been treated I will say for Mr. Gillespie that he insulted me very much, but I freely forgive him. T. J. L. Smiley has been a friend towards me. "Brace.—Come, dry up What the --- is the use of keeping me here just waiting on you ? I want t) go through with it. " Hetherington —My witnesses were never put before A jury. I protested against several things that had been done. lam satisfied that no jury on the face of the earth would have convicted me. So far, a fair trial I have not had. lam not afraid to meet my God. I Lope the Lord will have mercy on my soul. I hereby forgive every man living on the face of the earth. I ask every man living to forgive me as I freely forgive them. Gen tlemen, lam here before you all. Do not believe that lam hardened. I have prayed from the day of my birth to the day of my death. "The executioner here stepped up behind, and gently drew on the white cap. "Hetherington—The Lord have mercy upon my soul. I will meet my Saviour. I should like to have seen Fletcher Haight, but it was denied me. Remember me to Fletcher Haight and Henry Haight. Lord have mercy on my soul ! " Hetherington spoke with a strong North of England accent, and occasionally referred to a memorandum which he had in his hand. ! - Jletlieringtork - wee yet 'speaking and Brace going through with his most wonderful and revolting performances, the caps were drawn over their face , , signal was given, followed by one deep tone from the bell on the Vigilant-buildings, which was another signal for the executioner, who stood upon the ground, and with a mallet and chisel parted the cord that sustained the drop, and at once the two murderers were ignomi niously suspended between heaven and earth, to pay the penalty of their crimes. The noose as well adjusted upon both, and the bodies were almost instantly lifeless. The body of Brace was not observed to move at all, not even a muscle, and that of Hetherington, after three or four minutes, was seen to move slightly, once or twice, and then all was over."

Tt .1.1 Another suicide at the Agapemone is reported. It is stated in the Taunton Courier that a young female left that establishment for the purpose of being confined last week ; that she was confined on Sunday ; and that on the following day she hung herself. The inquest does not appear to have been yet held. Mrs. Mary Anne Dixon, widow of a canon residen tiary of York, has presented two ancient silver tankards to the corporation of Hull. One of them is a "whistle tankard," which belonged to Anthony Lambert, mayor of Hull, in 1669, when Charles I. was refused admis , ion to the town. Mrs. Dixon "has frequently been told that there is only another whistle tankard in the king dom." The whistle comes into play when the tankard is empty ; so that when it reaches the hands of a toper, j and there is nothing to drink, he must, if he wants liquor, " whistle for it ;" - which possibly may be the erigiA of the popuhir phrase. MR. BAXTER, M. P. FOR THE MONTROSE 1 BURGHS. On Tuesday evening Mr. Baxter, M.P., addressed a large meeting of his constituents in the Guildhall, Mon. trose. The hon. gentleman met with a very warm recep tion, and was accompanied by the provost, town council, and a numerous body of the electors to the platform. The PROVOST occupied the chair, and introduced Mr. BAXTER, who, after some observations upon the particular relations between himself and his constituents, briefly explained the reasons for the votes he bad given upon such questions as that of the Police Bill for Eng land and Wales, the Cambridge University Bill, the Fire Insurance Bill, and the Appellate Jurisdiction. He also said that he was one of nine who voted against granting a good-service pension to Sir Richard Airey until the report of the Chelsea Commission was before the house ; and he could net help expressing his indig nation that any kind of reward should have been given to men who, whether they deseived to be brought before a court-martial or not, had been proved guilty of incom petency and neglect ; whose names, whatever might be thought of them at the Horse guards or in the Palace, would be a byeword and a reproach among the British people as long as there were mothers to mourn for sons who died of neglect, and disease, and hunger, on the heights of Inkerman and in the trenches before Sebastopol. With reference to the Treaty of Paris, though it was hardly popular, and in some respects it was unsatisfactory, he thought as honest Christian men, we could not have gone on with the war, after better terms had been offered than were at first demanded • by us, and after the professed objects of the war had been attained. Those objects were, in the first place, to secure the independence of the Turkish empire, and, secondly, to extract from Russia such terms as would put it out of her power, in our generation, thus to dis turb the peace of Europe. Now the first of these objects, said the hon. member, has been accomplished by the admission of Turkey into the European confederacy, the cession to her of part of Bessarabia, and the limitation to a comparatively trifling amount of the naval force of the Czar in the Black Sea. The internal state of Russia, even more than the clauses of the treaty, guarantees the second. I believe that at this moment the warlike re sources of that great empire are thoroughly exhausted. A. British merchant who resided in St. Petersburg during the whole of the contest, told me that the Russian officials themselves confess to a loss, by famine, disease, fatigue, and tho sword, of 950,000 men ; and I heard of one regiment which marched from Livonia 800 strong, and had only 57 men left when it reached ' the Crimea. Why, unless the accounts lately received are very erroneous, Central and Southern Russia are strewn with the debris of carts and waggons, the imple ments of warfare, and the skeletons of horses and men. The peasantry had begun to hide themselves in the woods for fear of the conscription ; the land was going out of cultivation, and the proprietors were on the point of being ruined. Peace was, in fact, a necessity with Alexander; and when his people begin to make canals, railroads, and telegraphs to improve their agri culture, and their means of communication—to extend their commerce, and develope the national resources, depend upon it they will lose their taste for war. They may tell us at present that they are thereby preparing to be able to beat us next time ; but when the sword is once turned into the ploughshare, the trumpet may also be hung up in the ball. The fathers may, indeed, make railways principally to be able with facility to convey troops ; but the sons will regard their designs of con quest as mere remnants of barbarism, and their plans of campaigns on the Bosphorus as curious old papers to be enshrined in the Kremlin among the records of the past. But to insure the provisions of the treaty being faithfully carried out, and to prevent such a complication arising again, we must have a more efficient diplomacy, and a very different class of men as our consuls in the Levant. This war has opened up new fields to, and will undoubt edly vastly extend, our commerce ; it will, I trust be the means of diffusing Christianity in regions where, for I ages, it has existed but in name ' • it will necessitat e grea t changes in Ottoman rul e , an d be the herald of civilisa tion to tribes to us scarcely known. New ideas in poli tics and religion are quietly revolutionising society in Armenia; the Jews are everywhere on the alert, and even the Arabs who wander by the banks of the Eu phrates are beginning to find themselves brought into con tact with the nations of the west. In these circumstances it is all-important that we have, on the spot, men in every way qualified to reflect British opinions, and represent British interests, lest what we have gained at Sebastopol be lost at Brzeroum, at Mosul, and at Aleppo, and bad counsels be permitted to render nugatory the reforms of the Porte. The hon. member then referred to the late disputes with America, expressing his opinion that `bosh England and the United States had been somewhat to blame, and he said—l will only now ex press 'a hope that when another ambassador is sent to Washington—which, however, probably, and for obvious reasons, will not be until the new President is elected —the ministry will appoint a first class, a liberal minded, and able man—one who sympathises generally , with the American people, and understands their insti tutions—not some employs or attach 6 who has filled a subordinate office on the continent of Europe, but a politician of advanced opinions, who will be acceptable to the people of the United States, and whom they will consider a fitting representative o f Great Britain. There are many such men amongst us ; and without mention ing the names of others well qualified to fill the office, I may point to Mr. Charles Villiers as a type of this class of persons to which I refer. When the Republic sends to us statesmen of such mark as Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Everett, Mr. Buchanan, and Mr. Dallas, we are expected with justice to select individuals of similar standing to represent British interests at the seat of its executive power. But the state of matters in the south of Europe demands a few sentences of notice before I close. To my mind it is hopeless to ex pect peace, quietness, or good government there until the Bourbon dynasties, still clinging to despotic rule in Spain and Naples, are driven to share the exile of their relatives who occupied other thrones. The court of Madrid seems to me so abandoned, politically and morally, as to deserve the countenance of no people who respect public decency, to say nothing of liberty, or honesty, or law. He who knows all things only knows by what :means a country once chivalrous and powerful—even new rich in resources, and favoured by nature in a remarkable degree---can be delivered from a degraded aristocracy and a venal governing class, re stored to its proper place among the nation., and enabled to enjoy the blessings of those free institutions which at present are ill every respect a mockery, and to many have proved a snare. I turn to Italy, for to it public attention is now directed ; and, unless the signs of the times are more than ordinarly deceptive, we may soon expect the volcanic fires of popular fury to break forth with terrible energy there. You do not require to ha told that every part of this land with the exception of the kingdom of Sardinia, is at this moment groaning under a tyranny too terrible for description, too agonising to last. An immense military force alone prevents rebel lion in Venetian-Lombardy —the Austrians, the detested Tedeschi, are also in Tuscany and the Legations— priestly rapacity, exaction, and violence, have crowded mere than ever the dietnal dungeons of Rome—while per fidy, espionage, and horrible cruelty, have reached such a height in Naples that I verily believe, if not checked by the interference of earthly potentates, they will ere long bring down upon th e perpetrators e consuming ven geance of Heaven. If Cicero, even in his days, could say with truth of Calabria, " Magna Graeeia, nunc non est," how much more striking are the desolation and rain which a vile government has since brought upon that land. Yet dark as this picture is, it may be said of the whole peninsula what Wiliam says of Lombardy in particular, "The strong principle of national liberty still remains imperishable among the perishing armies of her patriot. , , inconsumable in the conflagration of her cities." 111 the words of the poet Alfieri, "Schiavi siam, ma schiavi ognor frementi"—" Slaves we are, but still indignant slaves." Now, the question is, how far are we interested in this latent volcano, and under what circumstances would our interference be justifiable, if justifiable at all ? There is no one, I hope, who will be ' inclined to dispute the soundness of the principle of the non-intervention in the affairs of other states. It humbly appears to me that there may be only two excep tions to this rule—first, when the affairs of a neighbour ing kingdom are in such a condition as seriously to threaten the peace of our own ; and, secondly, when, as in the case of the slave trade, humanity is outraged by repeated and continued deeds of cruelty and blood. On the first theory, Sardinia, but certainly not England, might go to war with Naples. Before acting on the second, we must be well assured that the dungeons of King Bomba are worse than those of Pope Pius, and that anything has occurred by orders of the former more revolting than the massacre of Ciceruacchio by the satel lites of Austrian tyranny. For my own part, I confess to a doubt lest, appalling as are the sufferings of State prisoners in the Two Sicilies, they are wore than those in other quarters, where the fleet of Great Britain might not be able to act at the moment when "the iniquity of the Amorites was full." It is certainly no part of our national duty, and would be unmistakeably Quixotic to act as knight-errants in all parts of the world, either for oppressed men or oppressed nationalities ; but if tho roughly convinced that such an exceptional state of things existl, as at Naples, as renders it necessary for us to interfere for the sake of humanity, let us not waste words or time or letter paper, but send such a fleet as will surround the island of Procida, open the gates of its hateful guard-houses, and set the prisoners free. Perhaps enough p for re knowledge well doesb t of e such m ise r a a n b led intention esp ot know might be b th is at ba th rb e a a r p it p i e es a — ean tb c of a Brit barbarities—the sight of the squ adron to nsi pr gn su o p fft e n s e s dungeon walls—would be the signal of insurrection from the passes of Abruzzi to the gates of Patermo—the Mane Mene Tekel prophetic of his fall. In the recent sitting of the Scientific Congress of France at La Rochelle a resolution was adopted on the proposition of Professor Baruffi, of the University of Turin, to the effect that the cutting through of the Isth mus of Suez will be exceedingly useful to all nations, and injurious to none, and that it is therefore desirable that it may be promptly effected.
