MURDEROUS ASSAULT VIVI A HAMMER —Constance Jeanne, a French wuma , living at 19, Upper Rathbone place, was charged with the following murderous swath on Mdme. Hannah Eis 2nmann, also esiding in the same house. Mr. Albert interpreted the ev id ence. _ _ _ Mime. Eisenmann said that, about five o clock that morn ing, she heard the prisoner knock at a lodger's door and ask for the key of the washhouse. Having the key of the place, sh? gave it to her husband io give to the prisoner, but before he could do so the prisoner broke the lock off the wash house door. On interfering, and asking the prisoner why she had done it, she called her a most offensive name, and, on her expostulating with her for doing so, she struck her two vi3lent blows on the eye with a hammer. In answer to Mr. Knox, prosecute ix said she believed there were only two blows, but she became insensible. The prisoner also tore her by the hair of her head to the ground, and then tore her eyes with her nails. She called for assist ance, the prisoner ran into her room, and the police came. A witn , ss proved seeing the prisoner strike the prose cutrix, ana said the wh)le arose out of a jealous feeling on the part of the prisoner, because Madame Eisenrnann h• d discontinued ernpl, ying the prisoner to wash for her. Polio -const—ble Gawley, 123 E, handed the following certificate to the maw istrate " I h-reby certify that Ann Eisenmann is a patient of this institution, suffe,ing from a contused wound at the back of the head, several abrasions on the face, and a contusion over the left eyebrow, " April 23. " G. E. PYLE, House Surgeon." Mr. Knox said—As it was impossible to tell what might be the result of the injuries the prosecutrix had received, he should remand Lhe prisoner for a week, but would take bail for her appearance in a week. THE SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A CAB PROPRIETOR —John Clayard, cab proprietor, of Conway•street Mews, charged with striking a cabman named Ccoper on the head with a hammer, Cooper having since the injury been in the University College Hospital, was again brought up.

EXIRAO , •DINARY CHARGE OF CHILD MI7RDER Margaret Macarthy, a widow about, 33 years of age, who has b en leading a very irregular lire, was brought before ?Ir. Partridge, charged willa the wilful murder of her ille gitimate child Frederick Lincoln, a po icw constable, N. 291 K, said that a man came to him last n ght on the Globe-bridge, Mile end-roan, and informed him that a woman hid just been down to the banks of the canal with an infant in her arms and returned without it. The prisoner was pointed out to h'm as tho person, and he saw her about 12 yards from the canal and wr lying away from it. He asked her who she did there, to which she made no reply. He then asked her what she had done with the child which she waa carrying a few minutes previously, and she said she had given it to a woman. He then took her into custody, and told her the charge against her for making away with her chill. He looked about the place where he fi st saw the prisoner, arid at two o'clock this mo•ning found an old bed tick lying close to a gas lamp, in the Longfellow road, near the canal. He had since dragged the canal near where he took the prisoner, bu' cou•d not find any child. Inspector Griffin. of the K division, said the prisoner had been charged several times with deserting her three chil dren and leaving them chargeable to the Mile-end Old Town. He knew she had been once sent to prison One of her children, an infant, was illegitimate, and the father of it was a man named Downey, with whom she co habited. The prisoner said that all her children were in the Mile, end workhouse. Mr Partridge—That can be very easily ascertained. Your coL duct last night was very suspicious, and I shall certainly remand you. Where is the man who first called the pol ceman's attention to the woman ? Lincoln—He is a postman, and cannot attend this morn ing. Mr. Partridge—He must be here. The pr toner was then remanded. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE.

Mr. ROEBUCK re e to ask the question of which he had given the uob.e lord at the heed of the Government notice. Natters were going on in the Wes: Indian waterer materially affec ing British trade. (Hear, hear) British ships going limn one neutral port to another had been seized by an admiral of the United States. (Hear, hear.) He confessed that a.l his high aed arden , hopes that men could govern th emselves had been altogether negetived by recent events i n t h e disunited States. That great export meat was at an end—namely, that nun, under the most ,avourable circumstances, were not equal to govern themselves. (Hear, h ear. ) At first he had been in favour of the North, but their whole conduct since the ru t ._ ture testifiect not only that they were unfit to govern themselves, but were not fit for a place as a nation in the civilised world. (Cheers.) Ile knew there w ere degenerate Englishm en who took the part o f the North against their OWI4 country, and when the United States could be contrasted advantageously with this country, never lost ny opportunity of doing so, Ki n g Cotton bad threatened, but he had tailed to make much impression. In the case of the Trent the United States truckled. The papers in the ship latety seized h-id b een i nspecte d by an hon. gentleman, one of the m em b ers for the City, and he reported them quite harmless, yet it was seized by an American man-of-war and taken into an American port. Yet the American minister here had given a perm i t to a ship to c arry out arms and amm un i tion to Mexico to be used against their ally of Franc e . (Hear, hear.) M r.

Now, had the Government come to any determination with respect to the conduct of Admiral Wilkes. Ile knew the consequences of such an act. It might lead to war, (Hear, hear.) He stood there to speak for the people of England, and he knew they were prepared for war with the United States. (Cries of " No, no.") He trusted the Government -would chastise the insolence of this upstart race. (Hear, hea r .) Lora PALMERSTON quite agreed with his hon. and learned friend that the matters referred to in his question were of the very gravest importance. (Hear, hear.) All, however, he could say was that the subject was receiving due consideration on the part of her Majesty's Government; but they were not at present prepared to state what had been the result of their deliberations.

ALKALI WORKS REGULATION BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. The Earl of DERBY thought the time fixed for the bill coming into operation thould be fixed at an earlier date than January 24. He thought it might very well be made effective in September or Oct.,ber. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said he should not object to the suggestion ou the noble earl in cases where the owners of works had already constructed condensing appa r!aus, but where that was not the case, it would take some time to eff:ct tho necessary improvements, and, therefore, that was the reason for fixing the time for the bill coming into active operation in January, 1864. TLe clause, having been amended, was agreed to. On. clause 4, a di, cession arose as to whether it would be possible by the bib as it at present stood to proceed against the owner of works for a second conviction at the same quarter sessions i.t which the first was tried and adjudicated on.

Robert Gay, a soldier of Company D, 71st Indiana, has been shot, in obedience to the sentence of a court-martial. Shortly after the battle of Richmond, Kentucky, last sum mer, he deserted and took the oath of allegiance to the rebel Government. Returning to Clay County, in this State, he was arrested last fail, and, when searched, a copy of the oath of allegiance to the Confederate States was found sewed up in his pantaloons. The sentence was executed in presence of all the troops at this post, near Camp Morton. He made a brief address to the soldiers, acknowledging his guilt, but saying that he intended nothing criminal in what he done. Ho never intended to join the rebel army, but took the oath in the belief that that would release bun from ser vice in the Federal army, and enable him to return to his home. He desired to leave the army because he could not endure its hardships; his health had been poor; but he added that his health was now better than it had ever been in his life. He asked the soldiers not to let him suffer, but shoot at his breast that he might die quickly. The sergeant•major then stepped up and began tying his hands, which he placed behind his back voluntarily. He stood silent for a moment, aed If I could only be spared I would enter the regiment agsin, and do my duty as well as any man in it, or (hesitating) fis well as I am able." By this time his hands were tied, and he glanced round the ranks, and up at the sun, as if to take a last look ac earth The sergeant-major led him to the coffin, and seated him up ,, n it, facing the firing party, with his back to the asst. He sat a second, drew his feet towardt him. and settled himself back on the coffin, as if to brace himself against the shock that was to coma. The sergeant-major tied the band of the black cloth round his eyes, and stepped rapidly off to the tight and front out of the range of the guns. Then the prisoner, being left alone, for the first time, exclaimed, " Oh, that I could see my death 1" in a tone of deep sadness. A whisper from Lieutenant Sherley to the firing party brought all the guns to a " ready." The clicking o , the cocks was heard all around. The prisoner heard it 00, but he only showed his conscious ness of it by the movement of his lips in prayer, which be came audible, but not intelligible, as the guns were lowered to take aim. " Lord God," in a low tone, as if part of his prayer, was heard, and the crash of the guns followed in stantly. At the explosion he tell straight back over his coffin, without a sound or struggle. He gasped for half a minute spasmodically, not breathing, and was dead. There were eight shot holes in his coat, seven of them in his breas , any one of which would almost have killed him instantly. One of them struck Dim right in the heart. All ten of the balls struck him. The sergeant, with his carbine in re serve, stood by the coffin to shoot him in the head and end his misery if it bad been necessary; but, much to his relief, the work had been surely done without him. The coffin was put into Undertaker Weaver's waggon, the troops were dismissed, and the most impressive and dreadful scene ever witnessed in Indianapolis and the first military execution in the West was over.—lndianapolis Journal.

SYMPATHY WITH POLAND.—A public meeting was held on Monday at Crediton (Devonshire) to express sympathy with the Poles in their struggle for freedom and nationality. The meeting was ably addressed by Sir John , owrieg and other speakers, and resolutions in. accordance with the object thereof were carried by acclamation. A petition to Parliament was also prepared and unanimously adopted. A very interesting volume is about to be issued by the Messrs. lischet•e, of Paris, containing several un published poems by La Fontaine, and various fugitive works which have not appeared in any collected edition of his writings. To the researches of M. Paul Lacroix, wh, is better known perhaps under his pseudonym of Le biblio phile Jacob," the literary world will be indebted for the volume in question.

The Federal ram Switzerland is reported to have repaired the injuries she received in passing the Vicksburg batteries, and to have started up Red River. Admiral Porter's official report of his attempt to reach Yazoo by way of the Sunflower River is pub lished. During eight days he worked his way up with his gunboats only 70 miles and back again. The channels were exceedingly narrow and filled with obstructions. The expedition was finally checked when within 80) yardsif the point Admiral Porter desired to reach. He estimates that the Confederates burned 20,C00 bales of cotton along his route, besides what he himself burned. Many plan ters manifested affection for the Federal flag, and the negroes were unanimous in devotion to it. The Confederates have burnt two Federal steamers on the Tennessee River. General Curtis officially announces from Missouri that General Hicks's band of guerillas, who robbed the steamer Samsaky, have been destroyed-17 killed and two hung. The Confederates have crossed the Rio Grande into Mexico, and captured two Federal officers and three privates. The Mexican authorities, however, having demanded the surrender of the prisoners, t hey were all released, except one, who was reported to have been hung by the Confederates. The Richmond Sentinel, referring to the recent riot in Richmond, says it was an attempt to rob under the excuse of a scarcity of food, as the dry goods suffered as much as others.

The intelligence from Charleston is still meagre. Nothing has been received as yet concerning the success of our fleet. fhe Richmond Whig of Thur2day, the 9th inst., has the following highly exciting intelligence CHARLESTON, April 7. The attach on Charleston commenced to-day. Four iron-clads out of seven iu the Yankee fleet are engagtd. The firing from the fleet and from Fort Sumter and Moultrie and Morris Island was very heavy. - _ The Ironsides was hit, and she ran ashore, but subsequently get off, and was taken out of range. At two o'clock in the afternoon eight Monitors COMMENCEMENT OP THE ATTACK UPON CHARLESTON. (Per City of Cork.) NEW YORK, APRIL 9, EVENING. It is reported that the bombardment of Fort Sumter by the Federal fleet commenced on Monday last. The Southern journals of the Bth inst. state that the Federal gunboats and transports had crossed Charleston Bar, and were at anchor. The Confederate iron-clads lay between the forts, waiting the attack. It was also believed in Richmond that the bom bardment of Fort Sumter had commenced. The Federal land forces would not, it was said, co-operate in the attack until after the effect of the bombardment by the fleet was known. Tho Confederates under Generals Hill and Petti grew, 10,000 strong, have surrounded Washington, North Carolina, which is occupied by the Federal force under Gen. Foster variously estimated at from two to four thousand strong. The Confederates have erected a battery five miles below Washing ton, commanding the channel between that place and Newbern, thus cutting off the Federal com munication with Newborn. General Foster sent to Newbe.in for reinforcements, and several gun boats , started, but none have yet passed the Confederate batteries below Washington. General Hill has notified General Foster to remove the women and children, as he was going to shell the city. It is supposed the attack has taken place. Faster is strongly entrenched, and reported to be able to hold his position until the gunboats can get to his assistance. of range. " About two o'clock in the afternoon seven Monitor batte ries, the Keckuk and Ironsides again renewed the contest at about one mile and three-quarters distant, as in in all probability no obstructions were found, and for three hours the firing was rapid and heavy. Fort Sumter seems to have been the object and aim of the operations at that time. At four o'clock the Ironsides and Keokuk withdrew, leaving the other vessels to continue the work for an hour longer. It is probable that the signals from the flagship were not really seen on account of the dense smoke from the guns, and it was notuntil sometime afterwards they noticed she had left. This may account for their remaining au hour later. It is apparent that the rebels have but little confidence in their iron -clads, as they did not attempt to engage until our vessels withdrew. The casualties in Fort Sumter were one killed and five badly wounded, showing that some good gunnery was exhibited either at their barbette or through the embrasures. No reports had been received from the other rebel batteries at the time of sending the despatch to Richmond, and it is fair to presume that our wooden vessels with their long range rifles, had been engaging some of the rebel earth works. "On 'Wednesday there seemed to have been no signs of a renewal of the attack; but of course the rebels had no means of knowing the intentions of Admiral Dupont, and therefore they are not justified in feeling very joyous over the tact that no signs were visible of a movemet t. Twenty-two Uni n vessels were reported off the bar. Thee comprise the wooden gunboats, the ordnance vessels and storeships. The Keokuk was evidently injured—she is reported sunk tiff Morris Island—as only eight iron. clads are reported in side the bar on Wednesday. It is possible that she may nave been penetrated by a shot, and was beached, in hopes to repair the damage by plugging up the hole, and got her off. Such roust have been out of the range of the rebel guns, or they would have made an effort to keep up such alot fire upon her as to prevent us from extricating her from her posi ion. It is possible, therefore, that our fleet went up to draw the fire of the forts, to feel for the rebel obstructions and prepare for a dash by the forts; and that as soon as they are in readiness another move in greater force would be mAde on Thursday or yesterday, for certainly the wooden vessels, with the number of heavy guns they carry, can do sometLing to draw some of the fire from the forts, which would otherwise be directed at the iron-clads. " We learn from the Richmond papers of Thursday con cerning the state of affairs at Vicksburg, that the Union forces are being withdrawn from the peninsula ; that four transports have gone up the river filled with our troops, and that the levee has been cut through by our forces and the we.' er turned into our old camping ground' A despatch from Jackson, bliss., says that Admiral Farra gut is still above Port Hudson with three vessels, and that Vicksburg will be attacked positively this week. The stores of the rebels at Bayou Sara were destroyed on Tuesday by the flagship Hartford. The same authority says that the "lower fleet"—part of Banks' expedition we presume — has opened fire upon the batteries, but that they Were out of range. The Petersburg Express of the Sth indicates that some terrible preparations are being made by the rebels to destroy Farragut's ships, the Hartford and Albatross. The news from North Carolina represents Gene ral Foster is in a very critical condition near Wash , ington, where he was pretty closely hemmed in b l Y s the enemy.

Our Monitors (the rebel iron-clads Palmetto State and Chicora) have just gone out to take part in the fight. Our casualties are one boy killed and five men badly wounded in Fort Sumter. R ports from the other batteries have not yet come to hand. CHARLESTON, April 8. Seven tarretod iron-clads and the New Ironsidfs are inside the bar. Twenty-two blockading vessels are off the bar. The Keokuk is sunk on the beach off Morris The is no disposition on the part of the Federals to renew the conflict. The Petersburg (Va.) Express, of April 8, says : Since Saturday afternoon last the city has abounded in rumours of an attack on Charleston. These rumours were as diversified as numerous, but as they could not be traced to any source bearing even the semblance of plausibility they were not credited. Yesterday early more rumours commenced to circulate, and as the day wore on they gained con siderable credence. During the afternoon it was stated that a private telegram had been received by an officer of high position, stating that the attack on Charleston commenced yesterday forenoon, by the approach of the enemy's fleet, and that up to three o'clock the Confederates had blown up one vessel with a torpedo, and sunk three others with our shore batteries. This, we have good reasons for stating, is wholly without foundation. We bear, however, from a source entitled to the fullest credit, that three of the enemy's vessels—the Iron sides, the Montauk, and another Monitor built iron clad, name unknown—did attempt an assault upon Fort Sumter 3 .esterday afternoon. The bombardment commenced at three o'clock, and up to five o'clock not a shot had struck the fort or fallen any where near it. As Fort Sumttr comprises four acres of ground, and is surrounded by walls of 50 or 60 feet high, we must conclude that the Yankee crafts either took position at a great distance off, or else that they are supplied with very inexperienced gunners. It is not stated that the fort replied. We presume, however, that the aff..ir is only an attempt to get the range of the guns of the fort and shore batteries, or else a mere feint to divert the attention of cur forces, which the real point of attack will be elsewhere. Ot course, Geaeral Beauregard is fully aware of the craftiness and cunning of the foe, and will be enabled to penetrate all of his subtcrfugcs and counteract all his contrivances. The Yaukeee will never give a fair fight if it be possible to gain undue advantage, it matters not what means they may employ. Tha following is the " situation" from the New York llerald of April 11:-- " The long expected attack upon Charleston commenced on Tuesday last. In the early part of the day only four of our iron-clads were engaged—probably three fitted with submarine devils and one other. According to the rebels the firing from both parties was very heavy, and during the action the Ironsides grounded, but got off and dropped out
