THE SCREW GUN-BOATS versus Tilt PADDLE GUN BOATS. A contemporary says :.—" The machinery for the new gun-boats Pelter, Pincher, Ranger, Snapper, Gleaner, and Ruby, i s now more than half completed. These vessels are of light draught of water, and of very ileavY armament, and will, in all probability, realise, completely the true idea of what gun-boats are required to be in every useful respect. The whole of the machinery will be ready to put into them immediately they are launched." We niay add that four of these vessels are being con structed by Mr. Pitcher, of Northfleet, and two at Deptford Dockyard. Their draught of water will not exceed six feet, and their machinery, of the nominal power of 60 horses, will all be under the water-line, and thus protected from the effects of shot. Their arma ment will be two of those new 95 cwt. 5000 yards range guns, throwi ng s h e ll weighing, when loaded, 100 lb. .I.lese will be really effective gun-boats, and will throw into the shade the paddle-wheel gunboats of which we have heard so much, and which have, been obtained from the Prussians.

The difference and value of the two classes will at once be palpable, when it is considered that the screw gun-boat has all her machinery protected at six feet draught of water, while the Prussian gun-boats' paddles not only offer a sure target to the enemy's gunners, but it leads the marksman also to drop a shot into the ma chinery, to the ruin or destruction of the vessel. Mul tiply the screw gun-boat as much as the Admiralty may please, but we trust they will have nothing to do with the dangerous paddle " blow-up" target-machine. Morning Herald. PRUSSIAN PREPARATIONS.

Prisoner was ordered under arrest by Commodore Shepherd. Four witnesses were called by the prosecutor, Lieut.- Commander Jolliffe. After their evidence was heard the prisoner put in a written defence. The court was cleared from 11.25 to 1.15, when the Deputy Judge-Advocate, Mr. George Essell, read the de cision of the court to the following effect :—" That the prisoner had been virtually released from arrest and sent to do his duty; they, therefore, were of opinion that the charges were not proved, and the court acquitted the pri soner."

The Lieutenant-General Prince Radzivilli visited the Excellent gunnery-ship, yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, and was received by Capt. Sir Thomas Maitland. The prince was accompanied by Lieutenant Hall, director of police; and every attention was paid to the distin guished soldier. He was much gratified with the practice of the Excellent, and expressed his acknowledgments to Captain Maitland to that effect. The whole discipline of the ship was prominently demonstrated, from beating to quarters to attacking the enemy. The shell practice was particularly effective, and did justice to the officer in com mand of the gunnery department. The prince and his son partook of a handsome luncheon on board, and left the Excellent under the most favourable impression of that establishment. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenants—Francis W.

Mr. Watts, the assistant surveyor of the navy ; Mr. Peale, assistant master shipwright; Mr. Hughes of the engineer mad nd ep er ofartmen t ßeag le— of the Admiralty • Lieut. Hore, th com the the seeond'vessel of the same class, were on board. The Arrow, now nearly finished, presents one of the most elegant specimens of a dashing cruiser that can be found afloat. Sh e was not down to her proper bearings yester day, but was sufficiently advanced towards a state of com letion to give a very good idea of what she will be when in blue-water. She has the fine lines of a wholesome sea going yacht, with all the substantiality of a strong stout man-of war, that can not only fire 98-pounders, but can take her chance in receiving them. Her hull is long, low, and sweeping; her masts not very tall, but well propor tioned and raking; whilst her rig, that of a three masted schooner, sets her off most admirably, and gives altogether a saucy character to the handsome craft. She bad yesterday her two formidable guns on board—those new 93 cwt. pieces of ordnance —fitted amidships on slides, and adapted to throw shells of nearly Ioolb. weight. Her four howitzers are not yet on board. Her machinery, which is all placed under the water-line, worked most swoothly and efficiently —there was not the slightest heat ing, u and on the vibration on boa r d was scarcely felt at 93 board, an d w ill b e read rlti On Monday next sh e w ill have everything on ship, th e B eag l e (also by uilt to sail to th e B altic.

The not only look well and float well on the water, but it lan be seen at a glance that they possess those properties that stamp them at once as the real " cavalry 01 the fleet." It should be noticed, as a specimen of what British enter pr , gency, that these s phi s and e . en have been constructed, prise, under official direction, c an accom and one of them completed for service, in less than four plish on an emer months. MAJOR-GENERAL CHATTERTON, K.H.S.F. Our distinguished countryman, Major-General Chatter. ton, K.H., S.F., has received from her Majesty the pen sion for " distinguished services in the army," an honour of which no officer is more deserving. His excellence as a citizen is well known and appreciated here, and his conduct as our representative in the Commons House of Parliament won the savour and esteem of all parties. He is a deputy lieutenant and magistrate of our county and city, anti is also provincial grand master of Munster. We extract from Hart's Army List the services of our gallant townsman:— " Major-General Chatt or t on served in the 12th Royal Lancers in Portugal, Spain, Flanders, and France, from 1811 to 1818, including the affairs`of Fuente Guivaldo and Aldea de Ponte ; the sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz ; the actions of Usagre, Llerena, passage of the Tonnes, near S damanca (town,; heights of St. Christoval, Rae,la, Cas trajon, and battle of Salamanca; affairs at Tudela, Yalta dolid, Celadadel Carminho; to the investment and siege of Burgos; actions at Monasterio, Quintana Palls Yenta del Pozo, and Cabezon; actions on the retreat from Burgos to Salamanca, thence to the passage of the Huerba, Torre queinada, and outposts to Ciudad Rodrigo, upon the ad vance of the army in 1813; the passage of the Ebro, action at Osma, and battle of Vittoria ; actions at Villa- Franca, Tolosa, to the siege and capture of St. Sebas tian ; the action on crossing the Bidassoa and carrying the enemy's fortified entrenchments ; the battle of the Nivelle ; the actions at zit.

The whole of the steam fleet under Sir Charles Napier was there, consisting of the Duke of Wellington, Majestic, Princess Royal, St. Jean d'Acre, J ames W a tt, and Cumberland, the latter a Sailing ship. Th e B e ll e i s le, hospital ship, was with Sir ' Charles' squa d ron also. Commodore Grey's squadron with the French troops, arrived there on the lat inst. The three Russian prisoners who gave themselves up were all private soldiers. A Russian artilleryman also made his escape, and, when taken on board, gave freely a particular account of the fortifications and the internal arrangements making for the defence of Bomarsund. He made his escape on the 2d, when the principal part of the French troops were landed on the island, from 12 to 14 miles below 80. marsund, who were landed merely for exercise. This Rua- sian soldier states that the troops are all living six upon four allowance, and the principal part of them would be glad to be released and taken on board as prisoners. g e l states they have all made up their minds not to fight if they can help it, and, if sent out to do so, will to a man run the first opportunity, being treated most cruelly by their officers. On the Holyrood's passage home she put into Memel. By a letter from there by her there were when she left more that, 1,300 neutral vessels discharging and loading there. Memel streets were swarmed with Russian merchants, all eager to charter vessels with produce brought overland from Russia into Prussia, and shipped off from Memel as Prussian property. Certain it is, that nearly all p e p t iations for ch ar t ers f rom M eme l are ma d e by Russian me _ t , chants temporarily residing there, who are assisted by a a sorts of grades of Prussians acting as interpreters. The Holyrood on her homeward passage spoke the Daunt less in the North Sea, 40 miles to the westward of Holmons, I and the Ni mrod hired transport, No. 11% I s land of off the Laeso, in the Cattegat ; she was bound for Copenhagen.

FORBES MACKENZIE'S ACT IN SCOTLAND. The Scottish Association for Suppressing Drunken ness have been procuring information on the effect which the recent act for the regulating of public-houses has had upon drunkenness and crime. They have endea voured to ascertain what the result has been for the first six weeks in all the large burghs of Scotland ; and so far as they have received the returns, the tes tirnony of individuals on whom reliance can be placed warrant the committee of the association in stating that the Legislature, in passing the act referred to, have conferred a great boon upon Scotland, and that with few exceptions, and these admitting of explana tion, the result has been a large diminution both of crime and of intemperance. One point as to which information has been sought Is, the number of persons brought into the police drunk for protection, or drunk and charged with crime, on the,. six Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays subsequent to Mr Forbes Mackenzie's Act coming into full operation this year, beginning Saturday, May 27, 1854, and the number of such persons for the corresponding period of last;year, beginning Saturday May 28, 1853. It has been ascertained that the following are the num bers for the last two years respectively, in the towns from which returns have been already received, viz.,- 1853. 1854. Aberdeen 248 117 Arbroath 36 18 Ayr 3B 44 14 • Banff Dumfries county Dunfermline ......... 7 3 260 186 Dundee Edinburgh 523 3SI Elgin Inverness Kirkcudbright Leith 53 26 Montrose Portobello ................ . 4 St. Andrew's (drunk and charged). 4 0 These are all the returns which have as yet been re• dived. They seem to show, very satisfactorily, a large diminution of intemperance, and corresponding saving of expense to the public in the maintenance of prisoners [PRICE SD. IMPERIAL PAUL lAAIEIN T HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) Their Lordships met at five o'clock. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal Assent was given by commission to the following bills :—The Metropolitan Sewers, Literary and Scientific Institutes, Militia (No. 2), Militia (Scot land), Militia (Ireland), Militia Pay, Ballots Suspension, Prisoners Removal, Episcopal and Capitular Estates, and Bankruptcy, Real Estate Charges, Medical Gradu ates (Univer s ity o f L ondon), Mayo County Advances, Incumbered Estates (West Indies), Legislative Council (Canada), Merchant Shipping Acts Repeal, Stocker's Divorce. The Lords' Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Argyll, and the Marquis of Westminster. THE SLAVE TRADE AT CUBA. The Earl of CLARENDON in laying on the table a despatch from our Consul at Cuba said, since the ap pointment- of the last Captain-General at Cuba a most marked improvement had taken place with respect to the suppression of the slave trade in that island. (Hear.) The CoMmon Law Procedure Bill was read a third time and passed. The Report of the Select Committee on the Printing of the House was considered and agreed to. FINANCIAL BURDENS OF NEW ZEALAND. Lord MONTEAGLE presented a petition from the Legislative Council of New Zealand complaining of the financial burdens cast on that colony. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that his noble friend had referred to what had passed two years ago, and to the part which he took in the debates on the New Zealand Constitution Act two years ago. He could only say that lie fully adhered to every opinion which he then expressed, and that he had stated •o when he held the seal of the Colonial-office. POSTAL COMMUNICATION WITH FRANCE AND SARDINIA. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE wished to ask his noble friend the Postmaster-General what prospect there was of reduction being effected in the postage of letters despatched to France and Sardinia ? Lord CANNING said that the Government were not disinclined to take any steps in their power to bring this question to a satisfactory issue. The difficulty of deal ing with the postage on Sardinian letters arose from the want of a more satisfactory arrangement with France, and he did not think that anything could be done in this matter until a new convention had been concluded with that country. So far, however, as newspapers were concerned, he believed that a more satisfactory arrangement than at present existed might be made with the Sardinian Government, quite independently of the result of the negotiations with France. The house then adjourned at a quarter-past six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAEER took the chair at 3 o'clock. NEW WRIT.

This officer entered the navy July 24, 1811, as second-class volunteer, on board the Sparedon, 10, Captain James Green, on the Leith station, where he removed in the following November, to the Adamant, 44, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral William Albany Otway. In April, 1812, he became midshipman of the Semiramis, 36, Captain Charles Richardson, bearing the flag afterwards of Rear-Admiral Charles Tyler at the Cape of Hood Hope. On his return home in August, 1814, he joined the Chatham, 74, Captain David Lloyd, lying at Ports mouth, whence, towards the close of the same year, he sailed for North America in the Erne, 20, commanded by the late Lord Napier. In the course of 1815 he was successively received on board the Endymion, Tagus, and Alceste frigates, Captains Henry Hope, James Whitley Deans Dundas, and Murray Maxwell ; under the 'latter of whom he accompanied Lord Amherst on his einbas-y to China, and was wrecked, while returning hoine with that nobleman, in the Straits of Gaspar, Feb. 18, 1817. Obtai n i ng hi s fi rst commission on the 20th of the following October, he was next, Feb. 22, 1818, appointed lieutenant of the Liffey, 50, Captain Hun. Henry Duncan, in which ship he visited the lle. diterranean and cruised for some time off Lisbon. After serving with Captain Charles Adam in the Royal Sov e . reign yacht he was invested, October 15, 1822, with the rank of commander, and on Feb. 28, 1824, nominated to the Brisk, 10. In the month of September following he captured, off Flaniborough Head, a large smuggling lugger, with a cargo of considerable value. Captain Hope, - whose advancement to post rank took place Jan. 26, 1826, was subsequently appointed, Oct. 21, 1830, to the Tyne, 28, a vessel in which he served on the South American station, and, prior to being paid off in Jan., 1834, passed over 82,000 miles, a greater distance than bad been traversed by any vessel since the war ; Jan. 24, 1835, to the Dublin, 50, fitting at Plymouth, where he was superseded in the ensuing July ; and, August 28, 1841, to the Thalia, 42. He was employed in the Litter frigate on the East India and Pacific stations until the close of 1845, when she returned to England and was put out of commission. Captain Hope married, Sept. 12, 1826, Anne, eldest daughter of the late Rear- Admiral .Wm. Henry Webley Parry, C. 8., by whom, who died Dec. 24, 1836, he has issue. ---- ,omonoN OF COMMODORE EDEN. By the death of Rear-Admiral Hope, Commodore Henry Eden attains the rank of rear-admiral of the blue. This gallant officer, who has served actively afloat and ashore for 25 years, is fourth son of the late Thomas Eden, Esq., of ,Wimbledon, county of Surrey, deputy ctu o;r t ro in l l t e h r e auditor of Gr eenw i c h Hospital, by Mariana, daughter of the Exchequer of Arthur J ones, Esq., brother of John Eden, Esq , a Arthurmoajandofguer; h r E ot d b e e n r ,. i brother-in-law a o s f L s ' s t e a. r u d t Brougham, and of the late Admiral Sir Graham Moore, G•C • • .B. , nephew of Sir Robert Eden, Bart , who was governor of the province of Maryland in 1776 as also of the late Lord Auckland • d cousin ' • an of Captain C.

Ob ta i ning his commission Oct. 20, in the same year,. Mr. Eden was next appointed June 22, 1818, to the Liffey, 50 , Captain Hon ' Henry Duncan, under whom he cruised forsome time off Lisbon, and, March 28, 1820, to the Rosche fort, 80, as flag lieutenant to Sir Graham Moore commander•in-chief in the Mediterranean. Ile theri assumed the successive command, Oct. 23, 1821 e and July 19, 1822, of the Chanticleer and Martin, sloops, and in both those vessels was very efficiently occupied during the revolution in Greece. On the paying -off of the Martin, in February, 1825, Captain Eden was pre sented with a handsome sword as " a tribute o f respect " from his s hip' s company. He attained post rank while in command of the Herald yacht, April 30, 1 827, and subsequently joined, February 17, 1332, the Conway, 28, in which frigate, after being very actively employed in the North Sea during the interruption of our friendly rela tions with the Dutch, and also as senior officer in the Tagus under Sir William Parker in 1832-3, he proceeded to South America, where he continued until his return. to England, in October, 1835.

His next appointment afloat was M ay 7, 1844, to the Collingwood, 80, fitting for the flag of Sir George Fr- I'os Seymour, the command of whicleship, however, his health obliged him to give up in the following August. Subsequently Captain Eden held the office of privat e secretary to his noble and revered relative, the late Lord Auckland, when first Lord of the Admiralty, and was appointed from that porition to be superiatondeat of . MR. A. O'FLAHERTY. _ In reply to Mr. MACARTNET, Sir J. YOUNG said he must decline to lay on the table copies of all applications and recommendations to him in favour of Mr. A. O'Flaherty, as being qualified for the duties of Special Commissioner of Income-tax for Ireland. SLIGO ELECTION. In reply to Mr. WHITESIDE, Sir J. YOUNG said it would not be consistent with Parliamentary practice to lay on the table a report of tho trials for perjury arising out of the last Sligo elec tion, but it was intended next year to institute a second prosecution. 1- _ 3311 A - l E , fre= asti: ' M '°'r ~. \Y } f ` ,~ -} .~~ „ K; therefore make no sue& • .'..ise.

Ile found great fault with those members of the Government who were favourable to the ballot, that they were not present to support their opinions. Having consented to issue writs for these corrupt boroughs, the house would be guilty of an act of great injustice if they did not revive the right of Sudbury and St. Albans to return members. Sir F. KELLY gave notice that next session he would ask leave to introduce a bill to enable electors to give the votes through the medium of a written declaration to be collected at their residences. The house then divided, when there appeared-- For the motion 5O Against it 3O Majority —2o The motion was accordingly agreed to. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house adjourned until to-morrow. EXPENSIVE RETURNS. Mr. FITZROY brought up a very formidable looking return connected with education in Scotland. RETIRED FULL PAY OFFICERS. Colonel FREESTON, before putting the question of which he had given notice to his right hon. friend the Secretary-at-War, craved the indulgence of the house for a moment in explanation of his motive for doing so, feeling deeply interested in the subject. The officers alluded to, were induced to accept the re tired full pay, from age, wounds, and infirmities con tracted in the service, and he could speak to the fact, having had the honour of serving with many of them in various parts of the world, a more meritorious set of officers do not exist, the greater num ber of theta having seen upwards of forty years' service. With these few remarks he would ask his right hon. friend the Secretary at War whether her Majesty has been graciously pleased to extend to officers already re tired on full pay the same boon which has been recom mended by the Commission on Promotion in the Army, to be granted to those officers who shall in future retire under similar circumstances. Mr. S. HERBERT said the report referred to had been drawn up, but it remained to be submitted to her Majesty ; when it should have received her sanction, the subject mooted by his hon. and gallant friend would receive the immediate consideration of the Horse Guards. LORDS AMENDMENTS. The Lords amendments to the Common Law Proce dure Bill, the Russian Government Securities Bill, and the Midland Great Western Railway of Ireland (Baronies Contributions) Bill were considered and agreed to. THE CONE TELEGRAPH. Mr. H.A.NKEY asked the First Naval Lord of the Admiralty whether, in consideration of the very favour. able report made by experienced and practical officers respecting Mr. Redl's Cone Telegraph, it is his intention to make any use of the system in the navy ; and to con sider the claims of Mr. Red! to some reward, as re commended in the report of the officers appointed to examine into the merits of his telegraph and dual sys tem, laid before the house. Admiral BERKELEY replied in the negative, at least until the experiments which were now going on in Portland dockyard should justify such a proceeding. THE SUSPENDED WRITS. Sir W. JOLLIFFE then moved the issue of a wri for Cambridge in the room of the unseated members. After some observations from Mr. H.

Mr. Justice Erle, than whom a more intelligent and upright judge does not sit upon the English bench, must have been as much astonished as we were at the verdict of the jury upon the Esher murderess on Wednes day last. That Anne Brough murdered her six children , in the most pitiless and cold-blooded manner was a point upon which there was no dispute. She made a frank confession of her guilt to the superintendent of police who had the charge of the case from the first, after she had received the usual admonitions. The question for first committeddivest the the jury was s i mp l y as to her moral responsibility at the tune she this moat of alltawfuildesaeroifescoonf continuous must'We n r e t a n d e f d u l o ek deeds—she G insanity. Sh e was sane b efore the perpetration of these i d uildfod the was sP perfectly d tly a s y te aa w d h , e as n s w h e e t s h to ink od will presently appear, she was sane enough when she made her con f ess i on a few hours after she had carried her purpose into effect. The question of her sanity cannot be considered as solely resting upon what she represented her state of mind to have been immediately before she murdered her children. The inference must be drawn from a larger field. We must take into ac count the antecedents of the act. Granted that a man is beside himself—that he is not acting as a perfectly sane person would act, when he draws the trigger of a pistol against his fellow-man, or steals up to the side of his bed at night and draws a razor across his throat while he is asleep ; but such temporary frenzy is not a sufficient palliation of his act in the eye of reason, noria the contemplation of the English law. Nor will a de ranged act of the nervous system, nor even an organic lesion of the brain, constitute insanity. Neither the fretfulness of shaken health nor the dark broodings of the vicious man over the consequences of his own acts are madness. Still less would it be proper to argue in a circle that because a man is a great crirninaltherefore he is mad, and because mad, therefore a great criminal ; for, in this case, the greatest monsters who have dis graced human nature would be rather objects of sym pathy and consideration than of abhorrence and pun ishment. Now, the case of Anne Brough is this :—She was a woman of evil life ; nor could she plead the strong pas sions and ill regulated mind of youth in palliation of her disorders. She was forty-three years of age ; she was the mother of six children ; her husband is living, and, for all that has appeared, behaved himself with regard to her and lo his family with all affection and propriety. Despite of all these powerful inducements to respectable and orderly life, the wretched woman gave herself up to a course of intrigue and debauchery. Her husband at length became aware of her misconduct, but wished to obtain absolute proof of her guilt before separating frona the mother of his six children. He caused her to be watched when she went up to London a day or two before the 9th ofJune last. The result of this proceeding was that she was seen to enter a brothel with her paramour ; and of her actual guilt there could, of course, remain no rea sonable doubt. When she returned to the quiet little cottage at Esher where her six children were,. she was met by her incensed husband, who reproached her with her atrocious misconduct, and announced his intention of separating from her fur ever. The poor man quitted his home himself, instead of turning the guilty wretch out of doors, and left her alone with the children. What her thoughts must have been at that dreadful moment it would be difficult to say who has not been struck to the earth himself with all the over whelming consciousness of detected guilt ; but it is diffi cult to believe that she could have been much nearer the borders of insanity than upon previous occasions, when she had returned to her home rank with pollution, and compelled to keep up the outward forms of inno cence before her deceived husband. At least, her actions give no outward evidence of distraction. She remained the next day in bed, and wished, as she said, to obtain some medicine from the surgeon. In the evening she walked about, and, having put the chil dren to bed about 9 o'clock, tried to go to sleep on the chair downstairs. One of her little girls kept calling for her mother to come to bed, and during the early part. of the night some among the children continued asking her to bring them some barleywater. This went on until about twelve o'clock, when the tragedy began. "Some of the children,"—we copy a few lines out of her confession—" then went to sleep. I could not rest. I had one candle lit on the chair. I could not see, and I went and got another candle, but still could not see." She could, however, see where to lay her hand on, and where to get, the second candle. "There was something like a cloud over my eyes. I thought I would go down, get a knife, and cut my own throat,. I could not find my way down. At last I found my husband's keys, and then his razor." It then appears that she straightway went to the bedside of her little daughter Georgiana, and " cut" her, but without look ing at her. She next proceeded to Carry, and " cut" her, and then to Henry. The poo r lit t l e thi ng sa id , "Don't, mother I" She simply answered, " I must," and cut Ins throat. She then killed her little boy Wil liam in the same way, but he was fast asleep. She was obliged to turn him over that she might -execute her purpose. The two remaining children, Harriet and George, were awake, but they seem to have offered no resistance to the murderess. "When all was over the fiendish wretch turned the razor against herself, but her hand was not so sure at suicide as at murder. Whey. she came to herself the " nasty great ,black cloud was gone !" e prSoouecehdiiisigtsh? aacncdounutpotnhe t m hi u s rd a e u r u es u s un g t_ ive t s h o e f h a e o r m o n w nt e , namely, of a person who assumes to describe her own feel ings when labourin g un d er a fi t of insanity —the verdict of the jury must in good measure be supposed to rest. But let us p a s s over t hi s point, and presume that the jury heard this statement as though they had heard it not, and that it counted for nothing in their decision. \Vneu we come to seek for other evidence upon which the verdict might have been based, we find that this murderess, in the interval which elapsed between the commission of the crime and her arraignment the other day at Guildford, conducted herself in every respect sanely and rationally—indeed, the artistic manner in which the confession is worded would do credit to a romance writer of the Victor Hugo school. It was cer tainly not the production of a maniac. The medical testimony is the turning point of the case. Dr. Izod, her habitual medical attendant, deposed that after her c r o a n ra fi l l y ie s m is, en a t nd in September, lostthe nseof lB h s e 2, she was rleftside attacked . she bed b gradu allyrai n r_e c o w v h e a r t e d t , h b e s u e t l i s e y observed s u y ,e m r e p t d o o m e s s of n o a t d a i s p o p r e d a e r r is y mo n . ot sia to e the report of the trial.

Dr. Forbes Winslow was the great me dical authority in the case. He admitted that paralysis may exist without disease in the brain,-although in this case he was inclined to think such disease might exist. During his interview with the prisoner in the gaol he could observe no symptoms of insanity about her. He had known cases of temporary insanity in which the patient became suddenly under the influ genracteifoyfeavesntroantg thhoem expenseici d a l emt i hv m oeesor p tf u cs l aopi s nff e urre estc which u,thinoeDarn rt, iaa.t affectionate ah e tocerw s krb o mhe u ouss g f W h sought pare. o nnm e. ba h en a es d niv f ei o nr r n ta i o e d r g l i y suoe l r i sd v t ei e ur d en d o s n sftr t ao h tme e it s ) l t; o sei w ss iisentkaltbBe beds that oafndh he thatre c b h e ti l lh i d e er y fe e an d e tf t oo h rf e watc h h t e h d a b v y aggravated the pre-existing tendency. The inig "'lark cloud," too, of which the prisoner spoke in her confes sion, was an ordinary accompaniment of the paroxysm in the case of persons attacked with a temporary fit of suicidal and homicidal mania in combination. No won der that Mr. Justice Erie, in his charge to the jury, protested against the doctrine that, if it was presumed that a crime had been committed under the influence of th we ro having ni prisoner's hs brain had an uncontrollable impulse, therefore a prisoner was to be exc use d on t h e ground of insanity. Well did the learned judge observe—" Undoubtedly every crime is committed under the influence of some impulse, and the object of the law is to control impulses of that descrip tion, and so prevent crime." If the defence of insanity could be made out in the case of Anne Brough, we know not what murderer can henceforth be brought to justice for his crimes.
