LONDO N , Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Meinter of the Univer s it y of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital stedicii society, Licentiate of Apothecar ies' Hall, London, Sr,c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences restating from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, am, other clas, of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who a conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privilegre es to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary theta men should know, that there are principles of personal mai tagement which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-inaulgence, how these penalties may he mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its comcquenees y be ma avided, andfunctional above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure, TbeAuthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in '.he treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care o f i g norant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in • their pretensions.

LORD ABERDEEN AND VIE REST OF THE GREEKS 1N ENGLAND. Lord Aberdeen has got hold of a new phrase, if not of a new idea. At the Lord' Mayor's banquet Lord Aberdeen dropped his stereotyped "just, lasting and honourable peace," and talked of bringing " this contest to a happy termination." Unluckily the new formula is as susceptible as the old of being interpreted an many different ways, according to the " mental reservation" of the speaker. But this is not the worst. flu is a most unfortunate and ill-comaioned man. Lord Aber deen. Last session of Parliament he could scarcely an swer a question, or meet a charge, without being unne cessarily and unjustly rude to somebody. And iu his speech at the Lord Mayor's banquet Lord Aberdeen contrived to insult gratuitously almost the whole of the English people. Lord Aberdeen, while eulogising his own valour, expressed the opinion that " many of those who were most eater fir the war are now the most easily discouraged 'by those vicissitudes which are the unavoidable incidents of a state of warfare." Where has this calumniator of his countrymen seen any symp tom of discouragement in airy portion of the English public ? The public expectation of early triumphant results of the war has been sometimes more and some times less sanguine, but the least favourable anticipations entertained at any time have only inspired Englishmen with a more stubborn resolution to struggle on until things went better. Lord Aberdeen's' wantonly offen sive imputation of faintheartedness to the nation whose indignant voice compelled him reluctantly to assert the principle of national independence, in opposition to his friend the Czar, is merely the splenetic effusion of a cold-hearted and imbecile old man, placed in a position to the discharge of the duties of which he is incompetent, and overflowing with malice towards all who make him feel his impotence. A very strong feeling. is at this moment expressed against the Greek merchants resident in London ,and Manchester. We do not wonder at it, their impertinent obtrusion of their sympathies with the Czar, and of their desire that the arms of the Allies should be baffled, has been more thaii mortal patience could endure. Never theless, we are more disposed to warn against excessive indulgence of the indignation their folly has kindled than to fan the flame.

Nothing has helped so much to disabuse the English public on this score as the presence among them ef the G reek merchants in Manchester and London. These men have been sent hither as among the most acute and enterprising of their countrymen to manage their commercial affairs ; they have enjoyed the advan tage of mingling with the enlightened society of the west of Europe ; yet see what poor, silly, waspish creatures they are. They ought to be tolerated among us, as we tolerate the monkeys in the Zoological Gardens, in order that we may have opportunities of studying the charac teristics of their race. It is beneath the dignity of Eng lishmen to get seriously angry with them. It seems the more necessary to insist upon this view of the matter, because the Times has been strenuously labouring to fan the flame of popular indignation against the Greeks. That newspaper is denouncing, in its wonted brickbat style, men whose actions and expres sions, reprehensible though they be, merely give utter ance to sentiments and opinions which, not many months ago, were advocated by the Times itself. The Times, while denouncing the offensive demonstrations of the Greeks in Manchester and London, claims for any un- Euglish Englishman who may sympathise with them immunity and freedom of speech. We confess that, on the contrary, we can tolerate much in these aliens that excites in us the most uncontrollable disgust and indignation when we witness it in any one wile claims to be regarded as a Briton. The poor stockjobbing and speculating Greeks of private life can do us little harm ; but "Greeks in heart," holding responsible situations, may do. The men of Manchester would do' well to re flect that not a few of the most offensive finis-statements and sentiments of the Greeks living among them have been endorsed by one of their own representatives in I Parliament. The most offensive Greek at this moment n England is, "The classic Thane, Athenian Aberdeen?' Daily News. AT LIVERPOOL. , Unprecedented SALE of 74 SHIPS belonging to the Estate of Mr. Edward Oliver.

RAISING OF THE EU.ROI 3 A STEAMER. The operations determined on for raising the sunken new iron screw steamer Europa, in the East India Dock fitting•out basin, were brought into action on Thursday afternoon with complete success. The power brought into requisition was on a most extensive scale. The Europa capsized on Monday last, the weight of her masts, &c., causing the ship to roll over, when she filled and sunk with the whole of her larboard side down wards, her stern laying rather obliquely towards the centre of the basin, and her stem and cutwater resting on the dock quay. Owing to her great length, being nearly 200 feet long, and her tonnage upwards of 1,000, all efforts previously to got her upright have failed till the present operations. In the first place, in order to raise the ship in an upri i ot position, so that the scuttles on the larboard side could be stopped up, and the water pumped out, it became necessary to direct the bulk of the raising power on the " lower side" of the ship, and so cant her upright. For this purpose, three crab windlasses were securely fixed on the dock quay, each having a chain passed under the ship's bottom, and fastened over the " upper side" to some spars under the main deck. A pair of sheers were also erected on the quay, and brought to play with Bolton sheer hulk, which had been brought alongside the outside of th e ship. A dock chain lighter was placed at the stern, with cables under her, and a warp v ras run out from the fore and mainmasts to some capst:ms on shore on the opposite side of the basin. Nearly 1,000 bands were, as soon as everything had ileen got in readiness, set to work at these powerful appliances, raid, in the course of an hour, the ship yielded to the pres sure, and was finally rai-ed from her dangerous position, and righted within a feet feet, where she canted over. The water in the basin then being lower, enabled the shipwrights to plug up the whole of the scuttles, and, la ter in the evening, a diver was sent down to examine the valves in the ship's bottom, which were supposed to be open, but which the diver found to be closed. Yesterday morning some seven or eight large fire engines were shipped on board, together with several smaller ones, to pump the water out of the hold, which was within a ithort distance of her maindeck. It was expected she would float in a few hours. Several hundred hands are employed at the pumps and engines, and the damage to the ship appears not of so extensive a character as was first supposed.— Shipping Gazette. TROOPS FOR THE EAST.

The following circular (No. 1,166) has just been issued from the War- office, dated Nov. 4 : "Sir—Her Majesty having been pleased, ter the warrant of April 13, 1854, to amend the 'warrant of July 1,1845, grant ing medals and gratuities to soldiers in the army for ' good conduct' and long service,' and having been, further pleased to direct that gratuities so awarded shall be placed, under certain restrictions, in the savings bank of the regiment to which such soldier may belong, I am directed to acquaint you, in furtherance thereof, sad with reference to the cir cular letter from this department of the 22(1 MaY last (No. 2,159), that the following instructions should be observed in investing the gratuities alluded to : " The gratuity is to be placed to the credit of the sol dier in the savings balk ledger, separate and distinct from his ordinary savings bank transactions, as also from any deposits he may have in any friendly society fund invested i n the regimental savings bank. " The following heading is to be written over the gra tuity account in the ledger Gratuity—Not to be paid until discharged from the service.' " In the event of a soldier being transferred from the regiment in which he is serving to another regiment, a separate transfe r s t a t ement, to be called from C, is to be transmitted to tie regiment to which the man is trans ferred, having the heading above stated, and specifying the amount of gratuity awarded, with the amount of interest added to principal, and separately stating the amount of interest, if any, to be afterwards added for any broken period previous to transfer. " When a regiment is transferredto:lthe Indian establish ment, these gratuities will be tran iferred to the India Company in the same way as the ordinary savings bank and friendly seciety deposits have ctitherto been trans ferred, but continuing to be separately and distinetly stated from ordinary deposits. "To simplify as much as possible the transfer of gra tuities to soldiers servin with their regiments in India, a notification of th e award will in future be made by the Secretary -at-War to the Directors of tie East India Com pany, as well as to the officer commanding the regiment, with directions to the paymaster, that the amount awarded is to be deducted from the quarterly remittance return of effects, with a reference to the number and date of the War-office letter. " When men are discharged in India for the purpose of settling there, at the Cape of Good Hope, or any colony eastward thereof, then the principal and interest of their gratuities are to be withdrawn, and paid to them like their ordinary savings bank deposits. "In those cases where men are sent home to be dis charged, the East India Company will transfer to the Bri tish Government the gratuity deposits of such men in the same mode as that in which their savings bank balances are now transmitted, care being taken to distinguish such gratuities from ordinary savings bank deposits. " Should a man entitled to a gratuity die before he is discharged from the service, the principal and interest are to be added to his effects in the mode pointed out in the 7th section of the Savings Bank Warrant of 11th Oct., 1843. " As these gratuities are only subject to forfeiture on conviction by a general, garrison, or district court-martial, commanding officers will take care to report such cases especially to the Secretary at Weir, and give the requisite directions to the paymaster to remit to this country the principal and interest so forfeited, with the other remit tances to be placed to the credit of the public. " As regards regiments on the BrAish establishment, all forfeited gratuities aro to be withdrawn from the savings rank, like any other deposits, and specifically credited to the public in the general state of the quarterly pay list, with a reference to the date of the commanding officer's letter reporting the forfeiture of the gratuity, to the Secre tary at War. " In regard to those regiments on the I3ritish establish ment which have not opened savingt banks and to the sol diers of which gratuities for gout conduct' and 'long services' may be awarded, it will be requisite that the officer commanding should open sa cings banks for the pur pose of investing such gratuities at interest under the authority of the warrant of 13th April, and, the circular from this office dated May 22, 1854.

The proper observance of Sunday is one of those things :hat must necessarily come under the law of the land. That has never been disputed by any reasonable person who thinks about the matter. As little can it be demhted that the nature of the observance must be dictated with a proper regard to the public convenience and the pur poses of the day. Those purposes are, the periodical rest which experience shows man to require, both for the refreshing of his mental and bodily powers, and also au opportunity far those religious acts and meditations which cannot but be much assisted by quiet and free dom from the ordinary business of the world. Sup posing that as a matter of fact everybody could go to church on Sunday as often as he pleased, as quietly as he pleased, and that no scandals or dis orders of any kind occurred on the Sunday, then there would, perhaps, be no reason for imposing any restrictions on travelling, on trade, on the sale of refreshments and liquors, the opening of public houses, or anything else thought allowable on a week day. The matter of fact, however, is unfortunately, the other way, for the institution of Sunday, enforced as it is both by custom and by law, has led, particularly, as it ap pears, in the great cities of Scotland, to a lamentable amount of dissipation, drunkenness, disorder, and even crime. It is found that the greater part of the popula tion of these cities seldom enter places of worship, and, having no taste for religious reading or meditation, must go out of doors for sem° mean s of filling up the Sabba tical void. Once out of doors, they find too many peo ple catering without scruple for their pleasure, in the lowest sense of that word. What should therefore be, as it has been called, " the rest of Heaven," is perverted into something quite the contrary ; and the better class of peope who have been taught by their fore fathers, and not less by the State, that the Sabbath is a day to be observed with great sanctity, abstrac tion, and quiet, justly complain that they are not pro tected, bat rather hindered, in the observance of a law ful institution. Viewing the law on one side, and the practice on the other, ene cannot but. be struck with a great inconsistency, pressing hard on those who desire to follow their duty and the law, and then find them selves discouraged, impeded, and even rendered ridi culous by standing few among many. Certainly this is a state of thingslthat should not be endured. Conscience itself is not always consistent and strong, but it is a great evil when the law is still more illusive and weak. Indeed, the power of religion and moral obligation is altogether apt to be weakened by the spectacle of a State which does not know whether to say a thing or not ; which lays heavy burdens on the tender-minded and scrupulous, and is itself the first to fly from the re sponsibility it has created or enforced. We are not surprised, then, but rather we take it as a great proof of Scotch principle, Scotch consistency, Scot& fairness, and, so to speak, Scotch "hardness of head," that two thousand people met the other day in the northern metropolis for the purpose of reviewing the operation of the "Forbes Mackenzie Act." That measure has been partly successful, partly unsuccessful, or, rather, it has done a great deal, and only has not done as much as it might reasonably be expected to do. In the city of Edinburgh it has caused a very great diminution of police cases evidently arising out of Sunday drinking. We published the important and satisfactory statistics of the question in a letter some time since, and every succeeding Sunday has added to the testimony in favour of the act. We shall net repeat the figures, because figures are always open to cavil, and we will only say that, without any predilection in favour of what is called the Puritanical Sabbath, and without any disponitien to enforce Christianity by law, we are quite satisfied, on the evidence of the calculations given at the Edin burgh meeting, that the Forbes Mackenzie Act has pro— moted temperance, piiblic order, and morality on the sacred day of worship and rest. It was to be expected that it should do so, and it has done so. Undoubtedly many a poor creature turns into the gin-shop, or the grocer's shop-- -for they have long been identical in Scotland —simply because tiro suspension of work leaves bins nothing else to do on Sunday. It is all very well to talk of famines and home, but many of these poor fellows have neither families nor homes, nor any other place where they can go, as ono of ourselves goes to his library or the family fireside. Even those altars of the domestic affections that many of us spend a life in raising, and that figure so lergely in the works of modern moralists., do not always sustain the charm with which we are Y•otit to invest them. Gentle men will often run awry from their firesides on a Sunday to a club or .t friend in the country, or to Brighton, or anywhere for change. Tin fiard-worked working man has no such alternatives. The gin-shop is often his only chance of cheer, of company, of outward light and of inward refreshment. We are strongly of opinion that it ought not to be, and that in fact it ought to be closed, and other places of innocent resort found for him. But, as a first- step, unquestionably the poor working man ought not to ho forbidden to work and he shut out of shops on Sunday, and then, by a strange perversity, find the ginshop the only place open to him. This is, in fact, to encourage arid sanction Sunday drink ing with the utmost countenance of the law. The actual result of the act for closing the public-houses in Scot land is quite what wo expected. We said, however, that the act had been partially unsuccessful. That is for a very sufficient reason. It has been only partially put in force. With the culpable connivance of the au thorities the law has not been enforced within nearly two-thirds of the police bounds of the city of Edinburgh. Of course it, is boutnatural that crime, on the whole, / /.( [PRICE SD. should not be found much affected by a law not carried out in those very parts of the city and it suburbs where crime is chiefly concocted and matured, and where there are the most opportunities for its commission. While the magistrates within the Royalty carry out the act, they find themselves besieged by a circle of neglect, drunkenness, and crime outside the Royalty, pervading a population of nearly 100,000. At Glasgow, Paisley, and Brechmn the act has f,ir play, a n d it s results are less qualified. of course we do not forget in these remarks that the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sab bath. In our hum ile opinion Sunday observance is a matter for reasonable arrangement, and that any man absolutely needing locomotion, refreshment, and even moderate recreation ou that day, ha s as much right to expect it as the ox or the ass to be drawn out o f th e pit, or the sick to be healed. Point out any case of necessity, and that case must be met, either by a special provision of the act, or by a dispensing power in the hands of the magistrates. We say that it must be met, simply be cause so long as it is not met it will give a character of ' extravagance and absurdity to any general enactment, and eventually lead to its repeal. When a gentleman is brought to a standstill within fifty miles of his dying child on a " Sabbath-eve," or when a man compelled by the inexorable public to work ahl • Sunday night at an employment draining his strength, and requiring it to be continually recruited, cannot get a glass of the mildest stimulant, then a stigma and a scandal is brought upon law, for nature and common sense will not endure so tyrannical a discipline. The public convenience is the best rule in these questions, aid, though individuals must continually be called onto sacrifice theiradvantage or their comfort to the general good, it will never be tolerated that a lawful, honourable, and necessary employment shall be accompanied with, severe and unnecessary hardships, simply through the rigid application of a law. There can be no possible analogy between the case of a man bard at work in the way of a necessary , calling, and that of an idle man seeking early in the day for a stimulus which he has no occasion for, and had better be without. There is, of course, much practical difficulty in meet ing particular cases without letting in large classes, or, in other words, devising exemptions which shall not be fatal to the measure. That is a difficulty. The appli cation of common sense always is difficult, much more difficult than the application of a Procrustean rule which shall convict itself of folly at once.

The Times of yesterday contains au article on the treachery and profligacy of Austria, which is sure to excite profound interest throughout Europe. The perfidy of the Court of Vienna is depicted in graphic phraseology, and denounced in terms of unmeasured in dignation. The only source of regret is, that our con temporary did not see through the designs of Austria. sootier. He has been slow to discern the real character of that unprincipled Power. We feel that we are entitled to claim credit to ourselves, for having from the first firmed a correct estimate of the character of Austria. We have never for a single moment, since the quarrel between Russia and Turkey assumed a serious aspect, ceased to warn the Western Powers against reposing any confidence in the Court of Vienna. We have told them i❑ the plainest terms we could employ,—and we did this with a frequency which may have seemed unnecessary to some of our readers,--that if they trusted Austria, they would be sure to be be trayed. We repeated again and again, until we were wearied with the task, that Austria _ was in her heart with the Czar, and that. notwithstand ing all her professions of sympathy with, and friendship for, France and England, she would never render them any actual aid in resisting the aggressions and chastising the insolence of Russia. The only con ceivable contingency, on the occurrence of which we thought that Francis Joseph would be found co-ope rating with the Western Powers, was that of their achieving some such decided triumph over the Czar, as would, humanly speaking, presage his coming overthrow. Then, on the principle of wishing to be on the winning side, we deemed it likely that Austria would be found ready to incumber France and England with her help. As yet, no such contingency has occurred, and, there fore, Austria still persists in standing aloof from any active participation in the policy of the Western Powers. She still maintains her neutrality,—maiutains it in name, but is, in reality, rendering most important as sistance to the Czar. And she is thus playing the game of the Autocrat in precisely the way we predicted she would as soon as we heard of the arrangement with Turkey, in terms of which she was to take possesidou of the Principalities for the purpose, prole ,sedly of holding thew for the Sultan. How France England could have failed to see through, as if by intuition, the real object which the Court of Vienna had in view, when she proposed that inea , ure to Turkey,—a thing which we are wholly un able to comprehend. This mneit-is--eertain—that every body else, who had ever paid the slightest attention to the subject, clearly perceived the designs of Austria in the overtures she made to occupy the Principalities. Even if the Western Powers could have been so far de- ceived in the first instance, by the professions of friend ship for them which she made, when proposing to occupy Wallachia and Moldavia, it is marvellous beyond con- ception, that they did no,, open their eyes to the real purposes of the Court of Vienna, when they witnessed the eager promptitude with which the Czar consented to evacuate, the Principalities, in order that Austria might take possession of them. Unfortunately, they still remained blind to her real character. They could not, and would not, doubt the good faith of Austria. They believed what she said, and, consequently, gave a ready acquiescence to the entrance of her troops into the Danubian provinces. The arrangement, as we said at the time, was not only as advantageous to the Czar as if the Principalities had still continued to be occupied by his own troops, but it was even more so ; for, having the Principalities occn _ . pied for him by a Power really friendly, though pro fessedly hostile, he was enabled to transfer his Cossacks from Moldavia and Wallachia to the Crimea, where their presence was of infinite importance. Accordingly, through the kind offices of Austria, in acting as locum tenens for Russia in the Principalities, he withdrew his troops from the banks of the Pruth, and sent them to that part of his dominions where he had to confront in the battle field the forces of France and England. And they reached the Crimea just in time to resist the pro gress of the Allies. Luders and Liprandi, with the troops under their command, made their presence and their power felt in the Crimea in an incredibly short time after they had last been heard of in the Principalities. But though the Western Powers would not, or could not, detect the perfidy which lurked under the profes sions of friendship made by Austria, at the time we and others endeavoured to enlighten them on the subject— the darkness is now beginning to be dispelled, and sus picions of Austrian good faith are taking possession of their minds. The acts of Austria are new too clearly seen to be at variance with her words, for even the meet unsuspicious to be any longer deceived by her profes sions. She is subserving the designs of the Czar, by actuall refusing permission to the soldiers of the Sultan to pass through his own territories, of which she holds possession. "The Austrian occupation," says the Times, " of the Principalities is at this moment used as a means of hostility te the Allied Powers, and of facilitating the enterprises of Russia. If we had known that the Turks were not to be allowed to make a diversion in our favour on the banks of the Pruth, that Austria had dispensed them from the necessity of defending their own country, and forbidden then from invading that of their enemy, we might have found occupation for Omer Pacha and his gal lant army either in the steppes of the Crimea or the moun tains of Armenia. Austria has indeed occupied the Principalites, but has neutralised a force almost equal to her own. She has joined us in protocols, but deserted us in action. She has entered on the Danube as our friend, and remains there to insult our Allies, and coun teract our strategical combinations." " But all this crooked policy," adds our contemporary, " will avail her little. Austria may yet find that it is easier to alienate a friend than to conciliate an enemy, and that while her recent interference has lost her much with the Allies, with Russia it has gained her nothing." This is not more severe than just. The only pity is, that neither the Times nor the Western Powers suspected the good faith of Austria until now. They make the dis , covery of her perfidy when it is too late. But hear our contemporary, yet further, on the conduct of Austria in connexion with her occupation of the Prin cipalities. "From her first entrance," says the Times, " into the Danubian provinces, up to the present moment, Austria has treated the Turks and the provincials with an overbearing insolence, which seems to announce that she comes, not IL3 friend, but as a master—not as an ally, but as a sove reign. After her own fashion, she seeks to esta bl ish herself in a province she has not conquered as an e ne m y, .an d after having obtained entrance into it to a fri e e nd practises on the banks of the Danube the same o, ott a u n s i e . and unrelenting despotism as saddens the plains hardy or the marshes of Venice. The cuckoo has ob- Itained admission into the nes t, and lords it there with all the confidence of the rightful o wner. Thus is Austria fulfilling the duty she ha s undertaken towards Turkey, thus vindicating the p osition she has assumed towards here is an obvious and certain remedy for all this. There is a mode of punishing such flagrant treachery, and of chastising the insolence which Austria practise, towards the Turks. Austria has possessions known by the names of Lombardy and Hungary. Why do nut France and England make a slight motion With their fin l zer ? Tile slightest motion imaginable would suffice. Let it be but made, and Lombardy and Hungary would teat instant be up is arms, and perju re d and perfidious Austria would be forthwith brought to h eri senses.— a . f orni ng Advertiser.

We noticed in The Sun ef Wednesday last, the murder of a woman named Hempstead, which her husband was said to have perpetrated. A coroner's inquest has sine,: been held, before whom several witnesses were examined, and a verdict of wilful murder azainst her husband was found. The following is the evidence of the principal witnesses : . - Thomas Hempstead, son of the prisoner, a lad about 14 years old, who deposed —My father is a weaver. I heard my father go down stairs, without his shoes, about four o'clock on S a t ur d ay . I was awake at the time, and I asked bins what o'clock it was. He told me five minutes to four. I then went to sleep, but soon after I heard him go down again. My sister then called to him about the time, and he answered her that it was near six. A hammer that was hung up the previous night in the kitchen we missed that morning. My sister went into mother's bed-room, and found my mother dead in the bed. She made an alarm, and I went in, and I saw wounds on my mother's head. They looked as ii done by a hoomer. My father and mother did not live comfortable. together. I have beard him say several times he like to wash his hands in toy mother's blood. [Tile prisoner here rose and said in a firm voice, " I beg leave to correct that."] Wit ness prcceeded—l have often seen him strike I went her,b to utl did not hear them quarrel on Friday last. bed before them, about nine o'clock. Mr. Shepherd hero examined the witness, but elicited nothing particular beyond the evidence given. Elizabeth Hempstead swore— I our the daughter of the deceased. I heard a knocking in my father and mother's room ; it was a dull kind of sound. I he ar d my father go down, and I asked him the time, and he said it was six o'clock. I got up and dressed myself by moonlight, and went down stairs and opened the door, and by the moonlight I could see what o'clockitwas, and it was but twenty-five minutes past four. I went up to my mother's bed-room, and found the door ajar. I called out to my mother, but she did not answer. My brother told me to shake her, but I said I would not disturb her. My sister got up and went into the room, and put her ear to the pillow, and could not hear my mother breathe. She then put her hand on her face and on the pillow, and found it bloody. She cried out "My mother is killed." We ran d own t o our neighbours and got a light, and entered the room and found our mother dead, lying on her side in the bed. There was a quantity of blood on her night-dress and under her hand. My mother did not appear to have struggled. She looked as if she were asleep. -We could not find - .the hammer, which hung up in the kitchen the night before. It was a large claw hammer. I have often beard my father and mother quarrelling, but I cannot say what it was about. It was generally father's fault. I have not seen him strike her for the last twelve months, but before that frequently. I was with him on Fliday evening from a quarter-past six until bedt,p. I went to bed just before nine. There had been no quarrelling that evening, nor did I hear any thing during the night. They went to bed at the same time as I did. We left my brother Isaac at his work in the middle floor. I have heard my lather say several times " I should like to wash my hands in my wife's blood." [Prisoner again interrupted, and said, " That is an incorrect statement ; if you give evidence, give it correctly."] Witness proceeded—l have often heard my father say he would kill my mother—that he would catch her when she was asleep. Examined by Mr. Shepherd—l have often known my father get up in the night and go out walking about. I have thought him to appear strange in his manners. My mother used to think it temper. Sometimes I have known him to sit half an hour very quiet, but when mother spoke to him to get him into a good temper he would burst out in a rage. By the Coroner—l thought his strangeness nasty temper. The Foreman—Did he take beer ?—No, not for the last two months. Mr. Shepherd—Did you ever hear your father say anything about the youngest child ? Did you know him to dislike it ? No. Isaac Hempstead was next sworn. [This was another sou of the prisoner ; his whole air and manner was any thing but consistent with the position he occupied.] My father is a weaver ; my mother was about 49. I was with them both all day on Friday. They went to bed about nine. I continued at my work, and went to bed about eleven. My father had been working for Mr. Burney, in his garden, the last three weeks. That's all I have got to say to it.—On being further questioned by the coroner s he said—l sleep - in the adjoining room, and heard my father go down about a quarter past four o'clock. My sister called out about the time. I heard her call out to my mother. I heard my other sister cry out, " Oh, my mother is killed." I then got up and got a light, and we went into my mother's room and found her dead in the bod. (The witness here repeated what the former witness had said ; and then remarked again, "That's all I have got to say about it.") On being further examined by Mr. Shepherd, he said a Mr. Forster bad called on him to talk to his father on Friday afternoon, and in the course et conversation he had ad vised his father that if he Lad those thoughts come on again, to go to the doctor and take some medicine. That he had sudden changes come over him—sometimes he would be very fond of his wife, and then again suddenly show bad temper. He coaxed her down the face, and said he would have her asleep. They quarrelled about two months ago, but he had never talked of having his father confined, because unfit to be abroad. When his father's " thoughts" came ou ho was kind to his wife, but did not seem to know what he was about. Witness had never heard that any of his family were insane. By a juror—Did you ever ki,..w your mother to find a razor under the pillow ?—No. But after quarrels mother used to lock up tise-keives in tb.,eupboard. She was afraid of her life. Mr. Robert Stedman, town-clerk of Sudbury, exa mined—l was summoned by the mayor to the Town. ball, on Saturday afternoon, at two o'clock, where I found the prisoner. In the presence of the mayor, after duo caution, the prisoner made the following confession —" I believe myself to have Ikon the murderer of my wife, this morning, about four o'clock, at Halstead. She is about 45 years of age. I have six children, the eldest nineteen, the youngest three. I have often something the matter with my head." He would not say more or sign the deposition. The prisoner had gone from Halstead to Little Cot.- nerd, near Sudbury, where he met a person named Rayner in the high road, and stopping him, asked who was the constable of the parish, Rayner replying that he was that person. The prisoner, lifting his hands, said, "Then I am a murderer, and I wish you to take me in charge." The constable was alarmed, bat took him to his house, and placed on the handcuffs ; took him and delivered him up to Cross, the gaoler of Sudbury, who searched him and found nothing upon him but two old pipes. He was then conveyed to the Town-hall of Sud bury, where he made the above deposition, and was afterwards lodged in the police-station at Halstead. The Coroner summed up, and the jury came to the unanimous verdict of wilful murder against the prisoner. The following is an exact copy of the murderer's con. fession before the Mayor of Sudbury : " I believe myself to be the murderer of my wife this morning, at four o'clock. I did not go back to see. My wife was about 45 years of age. My eldest child is 19 years old, and my youngest 3 years. I have frequently something the matter with my head. I confess to be the murderer of my wife, but I do not wish to state any fur ther particulars for the present:" Hempstead is about 50 years of age ; his figure is tall and very attenuated, and with Lis grey hair and care worn countenance he might easily be supposed to have reached three-score years. He appears to have been educated rather above the generality of his class, if one may judge from the few sentences uttered by him during the trial, and which were strictly grammatical, and spoken in a well-modulated voice. The only successful defence that can he pleaded on behalf of the prisoner, of course, is that of mental derangement, but it does not appear, until the commission of this crime, that he ever complained of anything the matter with his bead. His manner since his apprehension, though sullen, has been perfectly rational, and affords no evidence of a deranged mind. When being taken from the police-sta tion to the cart which conveyed him to Braintree, one of the crowd observed that he deserved hanging, and he then exclainied, "Oh ! I shall have it. I know that. I shall have that !" The bereaved children displayed, throughout the ex amination at the inquest and at the committal, a re, markable insensibility and want of feeling strangely at variance with their position as their father's accusers, and which it is difficult to ascribe to any other cause than extreme ignorance or their faulty education amidst ! the frequent broil s o f th e ir unfortunate P evidenceeludlessivtesonne,ThcillhapiaenertieCasulawr,agsalivtetiehicsaleulated t ift e f ts s .te u . ch ro-e -ptions of pity for his unhappy situation.
