Cagy, tlabor4h coroner, held an investigation into the circumstances which had led to the death of a child nine months old, named Janus'. Richard Tennant. Daring the inquiry frightful depravity on the part of the deceased's mother was elicited ; and it was shown that her husband, who was a sober man, had given her ample means to provide for herself and children, but she had appropriated the money so given her to satisfy her craving for drink. She is in the custody of the police, and had been several times remanded; and was brought up on Wednesday before Mr. Preston, the deputy stipendiary, when she was again remanded till yesterday pending the result of the coroner's inquest.

Annie, last throughout, was beaten off. 4ving apart in consequence of his wife's drunken habits. Witness did not take much notice of the child, which was wrapped in a shawl. On the day previous to this it had appeared to be better than fora fortnight before. His wife was in a dirty state, and was in drink. He gave her money to get medicine for the child, which was very thin end greatly wasted. During the time they had lived apart he allowed his wife from 15s to 16s a week to support herself and three children, including deceased. His wife sold everything in the house to satisfy her craving fordrink. Ellen Mess, a married woman, who resided at No. 14, (homer-street, stated that on the 20th of last month she and a friend saw the mother of the deceased sitting on the step of Martin's public-house. She was asleep, and had the de ceased on her knee. On witness and her friend raising the woman she struck at them, and they saw that she was drunk. The poor little child's eyes were swollen. Witness found that the strings of the child's hood were tied very tightly under its chin, and she had to borrow a knife to cut them. When the strings were loosed the child breathed more freely, and the sctelling left its face. The child was in a very filthy state, and had maggots about its neck. De ceased was wasted away, but witness thought he had on sufficient clothes to keep him warm, Witness thought the child was dead when she saw it first. She called the atten- tion of a policeman to the woman, who was then taken to Bridewell. Margaret Tweed, the person who was with the last wit ness at the time stated, gave corroborative testimony. Police-constable 307 (Fryer), deposed to taking the deceased child's mother to the Main Btidewell, where she gave the name of Jane Lawson, which was believed to be her right name until that day. When charged, the prisoner said it was not her fault that the child had been neglected. Witness took the child to the workhouse in Brownlow-hill. Mr Thomas Blick, surgeon at the Liverpool Workhouse, stated that the deceased was brought to that place on the 20th of last month, and it was then in a filthy state and it was evidently suffering from diarrhee%. Witness used such means as he considered were likely to revive the child, but it never rallied, and died on the let inst. Witness had since made a post mortem examination of the body and found it very much emaciated, but all the organs were healthy. There was not an atom of fat anywhere. The cause of death was atrophy, produced by want of food and exposure to the cold. When the child was brought to the workhouse it was very cold, and it was wit/. considerable difficulty that the body was warmed. He was very rave nous and hard to satisfy.

Mr Bruce Ogilvy; Mr Ramsay of Barn tom.; Mr Dewar of Vogrie ; Mr Inglis of Redhall; Mr Sharp of Hoddam ; Mr Wilson of Wester Cowden; Mr, Usher of Stodrig ; Mr Currie, liulkerston ; Major Wynn Captain Campbell, &c., &c. The Provost and Magistrates of Musselburgh, and a number of the members of the Town Council at Edinburgh were also present. The attendance of ladies on the Grand Stand, however, was much smaller than on previous occasions. The turn out of spectators on the Links was not so large as used to be seen at similar meetings in the olden times, but larger than has been seen of late. In the paddock there was a crowd of book makers, who shouted their offers with most vociferous energy. Money changed hands very readily, and it was generally believed that the bookmakers had made a good return from the day's running. The event of the day was the Lothians Handicap, which caused an immense deal of speculation. Borealis was the favou rite, and was backed by many for even money against the whole of the nine other horses in the field ; but in many cases the confidence in this animal had somewhat abated during the last two or three days, and those who had got a good " tip" went in for Moose. When the race commenced Borealis appeared in the rear, and hardly ever showed in the Lace. At the second last turn, when she was improv ing her position, she suddenly swerved, and thereby lost all chance of making a good appearance at the finish. To the consternation of her backers, she came in fourth ; but not withstanding the loss sustained at the loot of the course, it was generally considered that she should have been better up, and many t.f the spectators remarked that she had been too strongly pulled. The other races were closely contested, and as a whole the racing of yesterday was as good as has been seen on Musselburgh Course for many years. The following is a record of the running : The Volunteer Stakes of 5 soya each, 2 It, with 25 sous added, for all ages. Two-year-olds, 6st Blb ; three, Sat 71b; four, 9st 61b; five and upwards, 9.4 10lb. One mile. A widow, named Margaret Hardman, who resided at No. 24, Beau-street, stated that Jane Tennant, the mother of the deceased, engaged a room in her house for herself and her family on the Bth of last month. The deceased child was very thinly clothed, and was a complete skeleton. On the 10th Mr Tennant gave his wife 245, and that night she went out and got drunk, leaving the deceased and two other children with the father. At 9 o'clock she returned, took the deceased out, and did not again reach home till 1 a'clock the following morning, when she was very drunk. During the whole of the next day she was continually going out drinking, the husband remaining at home and giving the children their food. At 1 o'clock on Monday (the following) morning the husband went to work, and the wife did not re turn home untill 4 o'clock in the morning, when she was in drink. The two children,one nine and the other seven years of age, had been left alone. The mother again went out be tween eight and nine o'clock, and at two o'clock in the afternoon witness was informed that she was sitting on some steps in Fox-street, quite drunk, with the deceased in her arms. She continued that course of conduct nearly the whole of the week, getting money from her husband, but taking home no food for the children. On Saturday witness told the husband when he came home, and he gave her (wit ness) money to procure necessaries for the children, telling her that they should not be allowed to want for anything. He also paid witness for goods she hal got at the wife's request on the previous day. On the following Monday the woman Tennant got some more money from her hus band for food, an: went out. When she returned home she was the worse for drink, but witness did not see any food for the children. Between three and four o'clock the following morning the mother again went out, taking with her the deceased child. It was a vet) , cold morning. Wit ness did not see the woman again until sho was before the magistrate. After the coroner had summed up the evidence, the jury retired, and returned into court in a few minutes with a ver diet of manslaughter against Jane Tennant. The coroner then made out his warrant, °At - miffing her to L.kt. , her trhd at the nest assizes.—Liverpool Courier.

Weatherwise 2 Ostentation A FEMALE RUFFIAN.—A won an named Rose Ann Rennie was charged before Bailie Yearnan, at Dundee, a few days ago, with the crime of culpable homi. tide. It seems that on Friday evening last she seized hold of a labourer, named Leddie, by the legs, while upon the stair of a house in Fish-street occupied by her, and pushed him over the window into the street, a height of forty feet, by which his skull was fractured, and he was deprived of life. The prisoner said she had never seen the deceased, but the bailie cautioned her not to say anything, as it might be used against her on the trial. She was remitted to the procurator fiscal. Rennie is a well known woman of the town, and has already been 37 times con victed before the Police court. The case is being inquired into by the criminal authorities, but according to the prac tice of Scotland, the inquiry is carried on in a strictly private manner. It is said that a coloured seaman was on the stair at the time of the quarrel between Leddie and Rennie, and saw them together immediately before the man fell or was pushed over the window. The Prize Shooting of the Penzance (Duke of Cornwall's) Rifle Volunteers took place on Mona day last, under very unfavourable circumstances. On Sunday morning the falling barometer and the wild appear ance of the sky announced that a violent storm was not far distant, and before long it broke on the shores of Mount's Bay with great fury, continuing with unabated force the whole of that and the following day, ultimately increasing to a gale. The most experienced members saw at once that there was no chance of witnessing anything like fair shoot ing, and the desire to postpone the meeting was general. This, however, was found to be impracticable, as many volunteers had already assembled at the targets, and about half-past 10 o'clock the shooting commenced at 200 yards, continuing up to 6 o'clock, with the following result :-Ist prize, a town cup, value £lO, won by Sergeant Pascoe, with a total of 32 nits and points-2d prize, officers' cup, value £6 6s, won by Corporal Eva, with a total of 25 hits and and points-3d prize, the Sheriff's cup, value £5 55, Sergeant Marrack and Privates Pryor and Trewella tied for this prize with a score of 24; on shooting off Sergeant Marrack won-4th prize, £5 ss, presented by Mr Wm.

The all comers' prize will be shot for on Monday next, MILITARY RECONNAISSANCE,—An important and interesting military reconnaissance has just been completed for the Quartermaster-General's office by fir detachment of officers from the Royal Staff College. Start ing simultaneous from Blackwater, Bagshot, Woking, and Cobham, the four divisions of an imaginary corps d'armee were supposed to be marching southward to repel an inva sion. All the staff duties of a large force were accordingly performed as they would be on actual service. The military positions on the Surrey hills, the roads connecting them, and those leading to the south, were surveyed, sketched, and reported on.. The military resources and statistics of the towns on the lines of advance were noted, camps were laid out, and communications constantly kept up between the advancing columns. The weald of Sussex having been thus traversed fresh positions were taken up on the South Downs. The seacoast was examined from Bognor to Shore ham, and reports made on the facilities or otherwise for landing troops in large masses, and also upon those mili tary positions on the shore which would be favourable to covering attempted lands. These duties performed, the re connaissance terminated, and the imaginary enemy may be supposed to have been driven back on his ships. The following officers of the Staff College, under the command of Colonel W. Napier, have been employed in these opera tions:—Major Wood, V.C., 73d Regiment; Capt. Creagh, sth Fusiliers ; Lieut.-Colonel Clive, Grenadier Guards ; Captain Gilbard, 13th Hussars; Lieutenant y oung, 17th Lancers; Captain Blundell, Grenadier Guards; Major Goodenough, Royal Artillery ; Lieutenant Fawcett, ist Ro3 ale; Captain Knowles, 6/th R eg i ment ; L i eutenant Blake, sth Fusiliers; Major Bolton., Royal A r till er y ; C a pt.

(From the limes' Special Correspondent.) STOCKHOLM, OCt. 1. Late on Thursday night, or rather early yester day morning, the King, the Prince of Wales, Prince Oscar, and their immediate attendants left by epee cial train for the forest of Keglao,which lies upwards of 140 miles from Stockholm. As already stated, the object with which this journey was made was with a view of endeavouring to see, and if possible to shoot, some elks which have shown themselves lately in that part of the country. Elk shooting, as a sport, is one of the most fatiguing that can be en gaged in, because it is neceesary to remain the whole day on foot, and occasionally to run for a consider able distance with the utmost swiftness, success de pending on the speed with which the spot is reached that the signal proceeds from after this has once been given. Nothing, however, has been thought a trouble that could in any way conduce to the plea sure of their Royal Highnesses, and the King, with the earnestness characteristic of all his proceedings, determined, as a fitting climax to the agremens of the week, that his royal guest should carry back with him an elk of his own shooting, if this were within the limits of possibility. The hunting party was composed as follows : —The King, Prince Oscar, the Prince of Wales, Prince Hens of Olucksburg M. Gude, Baro❑ de Wrede, M. Sundin, M. Schilot, M. Horn, M. Lagerfeldt, Count Leuvenhaupt, M. San dels, Grand Marshal of the Court; Mr F. Hamilton, First Secretary to her Britannic Majesty's Lega tion ; Mr Heneage, attache ; Col. Keppel, Hon. G. Meade, Baron J. Beckfrus, and M. Oscar4Dickson. With the exception of the Prince of Wales, Mr Ha milton, and Mr Heneage, who travelled in plain clothes, the members of the party wore the uniform of the Royal HuntingCiub,which consists of a green tunic, long hunting boots with trousers to match tucked into them, a bugle slung by the side, and a Tyrolese hat and feather. The carriages composing he special train were fitted up as sleeping apart rnents, one being reserved exclusively for the King, for Prince Oscar, the Prince of Wales, and Prince Hans of Glucksburg. The spirit of adventure, however, was strong and wakeful in many mem bers of the party, for, instead of retiring at once, as they might have done very excusably after the long excursion to Gripsholm the day before, and in anticipation of the exertions yet to be made, they moved about from carriage to carriage, passing the time very pleasantly, and converting the journey into a pleasant festival. A short repose was gained, however, before the train arrived at Orebro, where about seven o'clock a.m. it stopped, and the Royal excursionists breakfasted in the refreshment room of the station. From this point to the edge of the forest, a distance of about 14 miles, long side cars drawn by four horses, carrying 10 persons each, and with steps nearly reaching to the ground, car■ ried the party. The scenery passed through on the route is much of the same character that is seen on the way from Gottenburg to . Stockholm—that is to say wooded hills and stony tracts alternating with lakes, and between these, as connecting links; and making the most of every foot of arable ground, agricultural districts, in good bat scarcely in nig-- 60. c cultivation. The perpetual pine tree of the coast is replaced or varied as one advances inland by birch and other woods -of a less formal growth, the leaves of which at this season exhibit many of the wonderful tints of an American " fall." Orange, melon, gold, flame colour—almost every shade that it is possible to conceive is met in these miniature forests; and that not in clusters or in sheets of va riegated leaves, but capriciously, and often excep tionally. One tall tree, perhaps, will drape itself in the liveliest hues, while its neighbours retain their original verdure. Having arrived at the edge of the forest, the beaters—always so called, though in this case their duty was to stand still—met the Royal party, and prepared to form the cordon meant to prevent the escape of the elks. Except the King and the Prince of Wales, who, with Mr Dick son acting as guide, entered the forest in search of game, every member of the party took up his posi tion with the beaters, Prince Oscar waiting and watching at the post assigned to him like any one else. The plan adopted is to send in a little dog, specially trained, which hunts for the scent without attracting much observation, until, having found and followed it up, when nearing the elk it com mences to bark violently. The latter animal, follow ing its peculiar instincts, stares at the dog for some time without doing anything, and then moves off, at first slowly, but afterwards at a furious pace. It is during this momentary pause of the elk that the hunters must use their utmost exertions to come up where the dog is, and the King and Prince were not fortunate enough to meet with an elk all day ; Prince Oscar, from his post of observation, saw one and turned it back, but was not near enough to shoot with effect. Moreover, great caution is necessary as to direction in such cases, the outside cordon know ing that their friends are within the forest, and may possibly be following up the elk at that moment. About 5 o'clock, as evening was closing in, the royal party were unwillingly obliged to withdraw. They drove to Orebro, where a pleasant surprise awaited the Prince of Wales in the shape of a salute from the volunteers of the town, who were drawn up to receive him, It is a fact speaking volumes for the character of the people of Sweden, and for their contentment with the Government under which they live, that there are fully 20,000 of these volunteers, enrolled in much the same manner as our own, of whose effi ciency in military exercises favourable reports are made. The gray uniform is not favoured in Sweden; the volunteer dress is of much darker colour, and of a material capable of being used in the services of every day life. The Prince of Wales, who had been unable to fix any day during his stay in Sweden upon which this large body of Volunteers could have the opportunity of appearing under arms before him, was much gratified at meeting this representative body, which was carefully inspected by him. The Royal party dined at the Castle of Orebro with the Governor of the province, who proposed after dinner " The Health of the King." His Majeety, in turn, invited the company to drink " The Health of the Prince of Wales," and the list of toasts concluded with "The Health of Prince Hans of Glucksburg." The Royal party then returned to the special train, in which the provision made for sleeping was much more valued than on their way to the forest, and arrived in Stockholm about 4 o'clock this morning. To-day, after so much fatigue, was naturally a day of rest as regards the early portion, arrangements having been made that the Pride() and Princess of Wales should appear in public at the theatre in the evening. During the forenoon, and occasionally during the afternoon, heavy showers of rain fell, but in spite of these the King and the Prince of Wales, attended only by a single aide•deecampt walked through the streets, visiting public or pri vate collections of interest, and entering shops occa sionally with a view of making purchases. Among the many points of interest in Stockholm, there is none probably greater in its way than the mass of interesting items—it can scarcely be called a museum—belonging to M. Christian Hammer, one of the principal jewellers in the city. Sixteen years ago, as M. Hammer takes pleasure in repeating, he was beginning life at the bottom of the ladder. Now he not only possesses the establishment of which he is at the head, but has invested in treasures of art and curiosities of all kinds an amount which the lowest estimate places at £20,000. Sweden, at the present moment, offers to persons with the taste and means requisite for forming a collection opportuni ties perhaps unparalleled, and M. Reamer, being upon the spot, has had the good fortune to turn these to account. That has beetle his secret, and others may now profit by it. During the Thirty Years' War the treasure chests of Europe were ransacked by the Swedish armies and their contents carried back to their native country. Ever since these relics of bygone times have contained as heir looms in the houses of the nobles who originally acquired them, or of their representatives, and might have remained there for centuries to come but for the law of succession i n troduced in modern times, u tf primogeniture has been ah n e d ireh whiched, and th thee right of ion of the great properties abolished, becomes accordingly but a question of time. As the means of noble families become restricted the very things which . they most prize must come to the hammer; and thus, not merely Swedish curiosities are thrown upon the market, but, by curiously roundabout process, foreign nations may again pos sess their own. The peculiarity of M. Hanmer's collection is that he has acquired so much from time to time that nothing less than a national gallery would suffice for its adequate display. Pictures, many of them good specimens of particular schools, lean against the walls by twenties; pikes, swords, guns, and weapons of every kind are stacked to gether in sheaves without the possibility of classi■ fication, drawers are so full of medallions, watches, cameos, &c., that to pull out any one of them and " rummage" through it thoroughly would furnish occupation for half a day. 300 poniards of every epoch thrown into a box here, thousands of seals and autographs in a cupboard there, chins, plate, relics, musical instruments—it is the very apotheosis of Wardour-street, with this remarkable difference, that not an object in the collection is to be sold. In any gathering of the kind, but con spicuously in that of M. Hanmer, all that can be brought away is a general impression ; but with a view of showing the systematic manner in which his purchases at least have been made, though they cannot be displayed, I mention a few of the princie pal articles. Perhaps the most unique, of all the glass cases is that containing the plate of the S w e . dish guilds and corporations now obsolete. Some in poor circumstances had their paraphernalia only in zinc or tin, but the great majority aspired, as is the nature of corporations, to display. Thus, the chief of the Guild of Tailors, when that influential free ternity met in solemn conclave, instead of a presi dent's hammer, ruled the assembly with a silver sceptre ; and:their silver cup of state exhibits on the cover a thimble of large proportions, upon which a flying Mercury is descending with a scissors in one hand, and a smaller thimble in the other. The gar deners' vase is a rich gold cup, shaped like a tulip. The bootmakers were so wealthy that the heads of their order, not content with having charge of the cup in honour of their office for a year, suspended to it, as is the fashion of some Volunteer corps now a days, little silver shields, with inscriptions to the glorification of the individual holder. Several well bound volumes of official correspondence of the an cient Doges of Venice aro stored away in one press, the set of rich filagree work given by Napoleon to the daughter of his brother Lucien Bonaparte on the occasion of her marriage in another, The breast plates, &c., used by the first Swedish Jews in their religious services hang in the centre of a room. On shelves at the sides are relics encased in a glass that no doubt were looted centuries ago from the altars of Catholic chapels. A Sevres vase containing an automaton piping bullfinch, presented, according to the inscription, by the King to M. the Dauphin, stands at one side of a doorway; at the other is a morsel of human skin, prepared ages ago some where in Russia, and making an excellent material for gloves, with regard to which there is a hazy tram ditional belief that the article was at one time in considerable demand ; autograph letters of the year 1300, and a brooch of the Empress Josephine ; the organ of Swedenborg, and keys of the age of bronze, of which Chubb's latest designs are little better than adaptations. Such are a few of the incon proportion to th gruou s items upon which the eye falls. Necessarily r e wheat oat of is all mixed, and the in this vast het ero g e neous g atherin g there are many d ou btful, not to say indifferent specimens, but the which the a really e on ly regret is that the y cann ot be seen to better advantage. On e of the finest p oi nts in the collec ehavffaluab with le items collec tion is its representation of the old Swedish porcee lain manufacture, quite equal in point of merit to those early Prussian specimens for which fabulous prices are often paid. The Prince of Wales and Earl Spencer, both connoisseurs in this branch, used all their powers of persuasion to induce M. Hamer to part with some of the noble specimens of old Swedish porcelain which he p esse „ es , but it was only at the instance of the Kin g himself that he was induced to do so. In the course of the afternoon it became known that the Prince of Wales had been so deeply inte rested by the pursuit of the elk, and was so sensible of the disappointment that would be felt by the King if he left the country without having at least seen one of these animals, that his R o y a l Hi g h ness consented to ma ke a slight addition to his stay. Monday will, therefore, be devoted to this new at tempt in a forest considerably nearer to Stockholm than that of Keglan ; and it is probable that on Tuesday, about 11 o'clock, the special train will leave for Gottenburg with their Royal Highnesses. Prince Oscar is to accompany them as far as that port, and either in the Osborne, or in a vessel of his own, from Helsingborg will cross over to Den. mark to pay a return visit at Fredericsberg. To-night at 8 o'clock there was a grand gala at the theatre, which the Royal party attended to witness a representation of " Faust:: The house was crowded in every part, and the leading characters of the opera, especially that of Mephistopheles, were creditably sustained. The front seats in the Royal box were occupied by the King, seated in a central position, with the Princess of Wales and the Queen of Sweden on his right; to his left, the Prince of Wales and the Princess Theresa, wife of Prince Augustus. With this Princess, at her pica turesque Castle of Hags, their Royal Highnesses had dined before going to the theatre. The Princess of Wales wore a pink dress of even a lighter shade than that which became her so well at the ball at Drottningholm, and a head-dress of flowers and diamonds mixed. The Prince of Wales wore what with him is very unusual, a black waist coat, and, apparently, had on no decoration of any kind beyond the ordinary star upon his breast. In front of and immediately under the Royal box Lord Spencer, General Knollys, and the principal offi cers of the Danish suite were seated in an omnibus box, holding about six persons, which is always de voted to the principal officers of State. The Royal party entered the house shortly after "Faust" had commenced. It was of course impos sible to interrupt the opera by the performance of the National Anthem, but all the audience rose and remained standing till the Royal party had taken their seats. Between every act the great number of those present rose again and exercised what appa rently is the Swedish privilege, of staring full into the Royal box ; those who were not removed from it by a distance greater than five or six yards en gaging in the occupation just as heartily as specta tors on the remote benehes. It appeared, however, that this was quite a recognized proceeding, the King from his slightly elevated seat din. covering and saluting by a slight inclination persons who were known to him among those in the dress circle. There was a con siderable gathering of Swedish youths; of beauty also, especially of the fair-haired type, examples were not uncommon. At the close of the performances the National Anthem was duly performed, and the Royal party retired amid the respectful salutations of the audience.
