ON THE STAMP DUTIES.—The Times of this day has made a most dishonest attempt to de lude the public, and the CIIANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER, by referring to the deputation of July, 1835. and that of April 13th; in the present year, as if there had been no other Meetings which they at tended. Now be it known that there have been ten general Meetings during the present year, and the four petitioners, the Times, St;ndard, Herald, and Post, have been present at eight of them. They complain that their protest, on the 13th of April, against the limitation of size, was ndt presented to the CHAN. CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. How could it be ? The Chairman had no authority to make any verbal communication from that Meeting. The petitioners Were present during the whole proceedings, and at the conclusion of the business of that day, actually paid their subscriptions to the general fund for expenses. If there was any protest on their parts, who made it ? And if they intended any, why did they not put into writing, and submit it to the Meeting ? The simple fact is, that they never contemplated being able to induce the CHANCELLOR to extend his maxi mum to the size of their double sheets, until after the 13th of April, when they etis covered that the deputation had succeeded, by in ducing Mr. RICE to extend his original scale from 1,066 inches to 1,530, thereby including the largest paper printed. The limitation scheme did not ori ginate with the general Committee or the deputati on ; for all they had to do was in protecting the interests of the Press generally to obtain a superficial maximum, equal to *the largest of the existing journals. To these remarks we feel it will only be necessary to add the names of the general Committee, and a list of the Journals who subscribed to the general Meetings, to show to what malignant and unjustifiable assertions the Times can resort, when they wish to stifle truth in the base attempt to uphold their own mercenary views. Their attack upon the Chair. man, that Gentleman will, no doubt, repel in his own way ; and knowing the power of his pen, we leave them to his tender mercy. The General Committee appOinted by the body on the 6th of February, to watch the progress of the Bill, and :protect the interests of the Trade, consisted of the following persons and papers : Mr. Del/ne Times. Mr. Anderson ... Advertiser. Mr. C. 13eldwin Standard. Mr. Stewart ...... Courier. Mr. Young Sun. Mr. Stevens Ledger. Alderman Hamer. pis patch. Mr. Shaw Mr. Westmaeotr. - -...:a s e. Express.

A very important motion was made in the House of Commons last night by Mr. CLAY, the object of which was to enquire into the operation of the Act permitting the establishment of Joint Stock Banks, and into the expediency of altering the provisions of that Act. The Hon. Member for the Tower Ham lets introduced his motion with a speech replete with information, and characterised by a tone of candour and moderation which added much to the impression which he ability displayed by the lion. Gentleman could not fail to make on the House. The grounds on which Mr. C LAY advocated the pro posed enquiry were stated by him with great clearness, and illustrated with much ingenuity. We are, how ever, bound to say that we dissent from some of the doctrines on banking, Which he laid down in the course of his speech. The defects in the present system of joint-stock banking may, in Mr. CLAY'S opinion, be reduced mainly to three sources—the unlimited lia bility of the partners, the want of paid-up capital, and the secrecy with which the affairs of the banks are conducted. The unlimited liability of the partners or shareholders (for by law every shareholder in a joint-stock bank is a partner,) Mr. CLAY thinks not only an evil, but the greatest of all evils,in the banking system; because it naturally leads to an excessive exten sion of the credit of such banks, and to consequent over trading among the commercial community, which over trading leads, in its turn, to panics, failures, and their at tendant evils ; and because this unlimited responsibility, not having been found in practice to produce caution in the partners of private banks, cannot be supposed to produce it in the partners of joint-stock banks, who are so much more numerous, and who are thereby precluded from taking any active share in the manage ment of such establishments. Now, this appears to us a fallacious view of the case. What is it that is chiefly wanted in any system of banking ? What was the universal cry after the cala mitous events in 1825 and 1826, when so many pri vate banks failed ? Was it not for security ? If these banks had been founded on th' joint-stock principle, we fearlessly assert that the public confidence in their stability would have remained unshaken, and none of the disastrous effects which resulted from their failure would have been experienced. Public confidence is the one thing needful to a banking -estab lishment. It is the instrument with which it performs all its operations, and while we agree with Mr. CLAY in thinking that it is an instrument which ought to be prudently and cautiously used, we can see no security for the public interest so good as that which is ob tained by making each partner liable to the utmost ex tent of his means. Mr. CLAY'S objection to un- ' limited liability, really amounts to an acknowledgment that the security may be too good. We think that some alteration may be beneficially made in the law as regards the paying up of the ca pital of Joint-stoCk Banks. At present it is not re quired that any capital at all should be paid up, and Mr. CLAY showed that not quite a fifth of the nominal capital of the establishments now in existence has actually been paid up. This has led to the dis creditable practice, on the part of these banks, of getting bills discounted at one rate of interest in Lou- don, and charging a different rate to their customers. What the amount of capital paid up should be in pro portion to that subscribed, may be a proper subject of inquiry in the Committee. We observe that Mr. CLAY did not grapple success fully with the unlimited liability system as exemplified in the constitution of the Scotch banks. In Scotland it has worked well, and where we have experience to guide us in matters where a mistake may be att en d e d w ith fatal consequences,it is not wise to shut our ears to its VOICC. The Select Committee was appointed, and on a suggestion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, which we think a very prudent one, is to carry on its proceedings in secrecy. A motion made by Mr. HUME, to the effect that it be an instruction to the Committee, to inquire into the effect of making Bank of England notes a legal tender by country bankers, in payment of their engagements, negatived. The Paris Papers of 'Wednesday, received this morn- ing, states that General EvANs was prevented from occupying Hernani, by the arrival of three fresh bat- talions of Carlists. The Carlist General, SEGASTI BELZA, was killed during the engagement before St. Sebastian. He was regarded as the ablest officer in the service of the Usurper, and his loss will inflict a serious injury upon his cause. His body was borne through the city of Toloso on the evening of the sth, foflowed by his widow and children. Dun CARLOS has quarrelled with his ex-Ministers, who, it appears, did not altogether approve of the unit consolidation system. The consequence is that they have quitted his head-quarters at Elorrio, and that he has taken measures for intercepting their flight in the direction of France. With this view he has issued orders to all his Custom-house officers, commanding them, in a style worthy of a King in expectancy, to allow no person coming from his head -quaff ters to pass the French frontier: But notwithstanding the vigi lance of his officials, his ex-Minister, CRUZ MAYOR, has safely reached Bayonne, where he was remaining on the 6th inst. The Ministerial mutiny at Elorrio does not at all surprise us. A Cabinet, composed of one person, offers but a poor prospect to a host of competitors for a seat at the Council table of the SOVEREIGN. It is very true that Don CA RLos pledged himself to recall his Ex-Ministers, and to abolish the consolidation system on his triumphant entry into the capital of Spain. But such an advent must have sounded as a synonyme for eternity in the ears of those who were not ignorant of the nature of the struggle in which he was engaged. To remain in the service of a free booter a sharer in the daily plunder, is quite a different affair from serving the same free-booter gratuitously, until it may please Providence to uffiish the crimes of a kingdom, by. permitting him to seize and retain the regal sceptre. Unbought loyalty is not for such men as Don CA Rf.os ; and were he to repress the brutality, the lusts, and the sanguinary appetites of those who join his standard, rather with a view to gratify, with ' impunity the worst passions of human nature than to win for him a Royal diadem, and for themselves their ancient rights and privileges, we do not hesitate to assert that he would not be able to bring a thousand men into the field. We are, therefore, not surprised at the unceremonious flight of CRUZ MAYOR ; although our knowledge of the Ex-Minister, wh o res id e d some time in this country, is sufficient to enable us to state that a very different cause will be assigned for his dispute with the Usurper. CRUZ MAYOR is no indifferent diplomatist on a small scale, and, as the SIMPSON of the Usurper's Court, contrived to make himself at once useful and agreeable. We learn with much pleasure that M. ARDOUIN, the rich ba►►ker, has remitted a considerable portion of the loan of four millions, partly contracted with the Spanish Government, to MENDIZAI3AL, in order to ►meet the pressing demands of the army in the North. This conduct is the more generous, as the conditions of the loan have not yet received the sanction of the Cortes, and therefore the repayment of the money rests entirely upon the personal responsibility of the Finance Minister. The following are extracts from the French journals of Wednesday : • " Valencia appears to be relieved from all apprehension of Cabrera. His band, as well as those of El Serrador and the Alcade of Villareal, have abandoned La Huetta, and u tth drawn towards Terruel and Molina. General Rotten is fol. lowing them. A letter of the 9th, from Bayonne, announces that Don Carlos has sent express orders to all his custom house posts not to suffer any person to pass to the frontiers of France from his head-quarters. It seems that fresh misun derstandings have arisen in his small Court. Notwithstanding these precautions, the ex-Minister, Cruz Mayor, has reached Bayonne. The last accounts from Madrid are dated the 3d inst. The Ministry was just completed by the nomination of M. Chacon to be at the head of the Marine. A petition is being signed by the Proceres, soliciting the Qneen to suspend the sale of the property of the convents. Other petitions of the same nature are being secretly got up. All of them arc hostile to the Ministry. From an official document just pub lished by the Government, it results that the whole of the debts of Spain amount to 5,103,222,919 rials, or 1,277,055,729 francs.—Messager.. We learn from Treves that the Dukes of Orleans and Nc mours arrived there on the sth inst., between three and four o'clock, and were received by the Count de Dolma, comman dant of the division, the burgomaster, and other authorities. The Count presented to the Princes the General of brigade and officers of his staff, and appointed them a guard of ho nour. They slept at Treves that night, and were to continue their route the next morning for Coblentz.—Galiquani. A plan for recruiting the Foreign Legion was 'sent to the Minister fifteen days ago, drawn up and approved by General Harispe and General Bernelle, who command the Legion. The Spanish Ambassador in Paris, General Alava, approved of the plan, and declared that the money was ready. And yet no decision whatever has since taken place. Why is this ? The Foreign Legion is in a critical position, and if it is to be reinforced, this ought to be done forthwith. If it is not to be reinforced, it should be withdrawn, since it is too weak at pre sent to hold its position, or be of any serious assistance. In the meantime General Bernelle has appealed to the Poles ; many officers have hastened to his summons ; and already a brilliant corps of Polish Lancers has been formed. It counts now 150 horses."—Journal du Commerce. The French Journals received this morning, bring accounts from Madrid to the 4th instant. The Cabi net was then completed, M. CHACUON having been appointed Minister of Marine. PARIS, MAY 10.—Last Thursday the brother of Count de Medem arrived express from St. Petersburgh. On the follow ing day the Russian Ambassador had an audience of the King, and a conference with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. On Saturday the Count de Pahlen despatched a courier to his Government. As M. de Medem (the one who has just arrived) was long employed at Constantinople, it may be pre sumed that his mission is connected with the affairs of Turkey, and the evacuation of Silistria. However this may be, we are assured that the Count de Medem having solicited and ob tained leave of absence for six months, his brother will mean time supply his place, as first Councillor of the Legation. MAY 11.—An ordinance appears in the Moniteur this morning relative to Martinique, Guadaloupe, and French Guiana, and the formalities to be observed in the emancipation of slaves in these colonies. The Journal du Commerce says 'that there is a warm con troversy at the Palace and in the Ministry, respectini , the camps for the exercise of the troops ; after giving up Rocro, St. Omer, and Wattignies, it is affirmed that Compiegne has been chosen, which is recommended by its palace, its fine park, and its proximity to the capital.—Messayer, May 11. The Messager, under the head of News of the Morning, has no account whatever from Spain, either from its own cor respondents or other Journals. FRENCH FUNDS.—Pants, M 11.

The Royal Tar will touch at Portsmouth, to receive about 100 men more. Lieutenant-Colonel KIRBY, Commander of the Ist Regiment, and several other efficient officers, return to Spain in this vessel. There have been shipped likewise about 50,000 pairs of shoes for the Spanish Army. Letters from St. Sebastian of the 7th inst. have been received in the City. They represent the number of wounded in the action of the sth, as considerably less than appears in the official returns, many of the men who were included in the hurry of the moment having received mere scratches, and since returned to their duty ; and many cases of so trifling a nature, that in a week a large proportion of the wounded would be in a co:ulition to march. The attentions shew•n our gallant countrymen by all classes in St. Sebastian were most gratifying. The officers were lodged in the houses of the most respectable inhabitants. The effective force of the Legion was ordered to hold itself ready at an hour's notice, and on the 9th, an advance was expected, and offensive operations would be resumed. The Ministerial appointments are now as follows : M. MENDIZABAL President of the Council and Finances. Count ALMODOVAR General RODIL War.

Rom', is a good soldier and an experienced General. presence will put a stop to the intrigues of CORDOVA. In the German Papers received this morning, we nd an article from Vienna, dated the Ist inst., in ,vhich the evacuation of the territory of Cracow, by he armies of the " Protecting Powers!". —the disband ng of a large portion of , the troops o f A ustr i a and Prussia—and the remission of one-half the tribute due to Russia by the Sublime Porte —are dwelt upon as strong assurances of the permanency of the p eace of Europe. The magnanimous generosity of the CZAR, and his regard for his ancient ally the SULTAN, are dwelt upon with provoking gravity. The English and French Press are first-rate at making a bounce now and then ; but they do it in a line or two at the very utmost. They never attempt to dwell an instant on the matter. They never seek to mislead by th e perversion of historical facts, but by asserting as mat ters of fact mere conjectures of their own, which at the worst are rather probable than other- Not so the Press of Geimany. Its writers imagine little, and conjecture less. Their mode of misleading the public is by gravely asserting as a truth what all the world previously regarded as falsehoods, WISC. and to adduce as proofs of the correctness of their statements, every circumstance capable of bearing a directly opposite construction. Thus the very perfidies of Russia are cited as instances of her inviolate attachment to the faith of treaties ; and her all but annihilation of the power of the Porte, in stanced as the magnanimous efforts of the EMPEROR to assist the SULTAN in quelling the disorderly spi rit of his subjects ! We have advices from the frontiers of Poland to the 29th of April. They state that the CZA it was pre paring to relax his severity towards the Poles, pro vided they prove themselves " worthy of his paternal Clemency !" The estates of the most illustrious of the exiles have not yet been confiscated, but only subjected to an Ukase of Sequestration ; so that a hope is held out that the rental will yet be remitted to them through the agents of Russia at Paris, London, and wherever else they may have found an asylum. _ The average prices of Wheat and Rye for the first week in May (Monday 2to Saturday 7) were Wheat 15f. sc. ; Rye, 9f. 96c. ; and the import duties 701., and 29f. 50e. per 1,000 kilogrammes.

" Our readers will find elsewhere a few resolutions, which were passed on 'Wednesday last at a general meeting of the Proprietors of the London Stamped Press. Nothing but the necessity of justifying our own conduct and that of our colleagues could have induced us to make them public —and nothing but fresh provocation, which we have not the slightest reason to anticipate, shall tempt a recur rence to the subject to which they refer. It was with infinite pain to ourselves that we were driven into the dis cusssion—and it is with much pleasure that we have an opportunity of honourably abandoning it. Henceforth we trust, that, instead of division, there will be union—and instead of personal animosities, carried in some instances to the most unjustifiable length, that there will be general agreement and cordiality, which are no less necessary to the maintenance of the just rights and privileges of the Press than to the upholding of its respectability and in u ence."--41forning Advertiser. [This is all very well from our excellent friend, and is altogether worthy of his moderation and gentlemanly cha racter; but while he was inditing the words of balm to the wounded spirits of his quondam friends, little did he know of the crooked policy that was (perhaps at that mo• went) weaving the web of falsehood against him and the rest of the deputation. But once an apostate, and always an apostate.] MANCHESTER AND CHESHIREJUNCTION RAIL WAY. —The Committee on this Railway Bill this day una nimously resolved that the preamble, so far as regards the main line, was proved: We are glad to learn that there are letters in town this day from Lord Brougham, which state that his Lodrship has been able, in consequence of the recent fine weather, to take exercise for several hours in the open air. It is at pre sent his Lordship's intention to proceed in the course of a few days into Lincolnshire to visit Lady Brougham and his daughter. On his way he pays a short visit to his Noble Friend Earl Spencer. It is not probable that he will be in town during the present session of Parliament, as he intends staying in Lincolnshire five or six weeks. DISABILITIES OF TIIE JEWS.—The motion, al most unanimously carried in our Town Council on Wednesday last, to petition both Houses of Parliament for the removal of the disabilities of the Jews, is so honourable to the feelings of that body, and contrasts so strongly with the selfish policy of the old Corporation, that, independent of the gratification it has affirrded us as an act of justice to a much persecuted class of our fellow-countrymen, we cannot fail to be pleased with it as manifesting to the world at large, the predominance gene rally within our city of greater liberality than it has heretofore had credit for.—Bristol Mercury.

It is said to grow from nine to twelve feet in height, and from fifteen to twenty in circumference. Five of these ponderous cabbages arc said to have proved sufficient for 100 sheep, or 10 cows, per day ; while its nutritious qualities arc represented to be as great as itself. STATE BALL AT ST. JAMES'S.—For several days past the most extensive preparations have been making at St. James's, for the Opening State Ball, which is to take place this evening, and which is expected to present a blaze of beauty seldom seen even at the English Court. Nor will the splendour of the scene, and the loveliness of our fair coun trywomen, pass undescribed ; as the festivity will occur just in time to enable a distinguished writer in the Court Journal to pourtray its characteristics in appropriate colours on Saturday morning. His sketch of the noble and beautiful will have the advantage, not only of accuracy, but of exclusiveness. THE GREAT SOLAR ECLIPSE.—The Vicar of the populous parish of Hackney has postponed the commence ment of the afternoon service on Sunday next from three to four o'clock; and this example has been followed by most of the Dissenting congregations it the vicinity. It is understocl generally that the same arrangement will be followed in most of the adjoining parishes ; and a postponement of afterncon bo evening service was, on Sunday last, announced in several of the principal Dissenting congregations in the metropolis. MELANCHOEY LOSS OF LIFE OFF CAPE CLEAR.—An account has just reached this office that a ship called the Charles, of Charleston, foundered off Cape Clear, and with the exception of about a dozen of the crew saved in a small boat, near 300 persons perished. We give this if, the way in which it has reached us, not vouc hi ng for its correct ness, which we fear is but too true. The Charles sailed from Liverpool with emigrants fur a port in the United States, and it appears started a plank, and in a very short time went down. —Cork Evening Herald. THE WEATHER ABROAD.— From the Swiss Journals we learn that the unusually cold temperature of the season has done great iyjury in that country. The vines have suffered from the frosts ; but, as they were not much advanced, it is hoped they will recover: The stone-fruit has been se verely damagA, hut the apple and pear trees have not been so much injured. Such an immense quantity of snow fell at Basle on the Ist instant, that the trees, which were already in leaf, could scarcely contain the weight. The weather in Italy is as severe as in France. We learn from Naples that the spring has not made its appearance, but the storms of winter have continued without cessation, and Vesuvius is still covered with snow. The Ceres, a Sicilian journal, announces that the atmosphere, generally so mild at this period of the year in that island, is still disturbed by violent tempests, wind, thunder, snow, and rain. A few minutes before ten o'clock on Wednesday night. the policeman on duty near the bridge over the Serpen tine River, in Hyde-park, was alarmed by a loud shriek, tit tered in a female voice, which was instantly followed by a plunge in the river. He immediately ran to the spot, but he could perceive no one, and he then proceeded to the Receiving House of the Royal Humane Society, and the men instantly launched a boat and rowed to the spot ; when, after dragging the river for near half an hour, they succeeded in recovering the body, which they conveyed to the Receiving House, where every means was used to restore animation for upwards of an hour, but without effect. On searching the pockets of the de ceased, who, it appears, is only between 15 and 16 years of age, seven duplicates were found for articles pledged in the name of Ann Freeman, No. 5, Palace-place, High-street, Kensington; and, on inquiry there yesterday, it was ascer tained she had resided there with her aunt, but for sometime had given herself up to abandoned habits, and had latterly suf fered under disease. The body has been removed to the work house of St. George, Hanover-square, in Mount-street, Gros.. venor-square, where it awaits a Coroner's inquest. THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MIDDLESEX SES- SlONS.—Yesterday Sir W. Curtis, Bart., Colonels Wood and Clitherow, and H. Pownall, Esq., the Deputation appointed at the last meeting of Magistrates for the county of Middlesex to confer with Government on the question of the Chairman's salary, waited, by appointment, on Lord John Russell, the Se cretary of State for the Home Department, at the Home Of fice, Whitehall, for the purpose of learning the decision of Government on the subject, when his Lordship acquainted the deputation that his Majesty's Ministers, after having given all due consideration to the memorial of the insgisomp s infavqm, of the salarybeing allowed to Mr. Sergeant Adams (the Chair man recently elected by the Bench), had determined that they could not sanction the payment of the salary unless Govern ment had also the power of appointing the Chairman. The deputation, after thanking hip Lordship for the courtesy with which they had been received, then withdrew. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) FRANKLIN V. I',IILLER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a tailor and boot-maker, to recover the amount of an account for goods furnished, and other matters. Mr. AI.EXANDER appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. PLATT and Mr. BOWLED for the defendant.

(THIS _DAY.) OLD COURT. MURDER. David Haggerstone, a gardener, forty-four years of age, was indicted with the wilful murder of H arr i e t, hi s w ife, by beating and casting her into a well at Merton, in Surrey, on the 17th April last. Ile was also charged with the like offence upon the Coroner's Inquisition. . Mr. CHAMBERS stated the case to the Jury for the prosecu tion, and called the following witnesses : William Hodges (examined by Mr. Chambers) lived on Merton Common or, the 17th April last. Mr. and Mrs. Hag gerstone lodged with him between six and seven months. They were very often falling out. Had heard the prisoner say that he would make his wift come under the table, like a little dog, and that he should be hung for her. Had often heard him say that on a Sunday, at dinner time. The prisoner told him that he had work at the Crown at Merton, on Friday. Was at the White Hart on the 16th, with his wife; a per son of the name of Claridge was there. Saw Mrs. Hag gerstone come in, between ten and eleven o'clock. Cla ridge was there at the time. Mrs. Haggerstone staved there till twenty minutes to twelve o'clock. Heard Claridge ask her to drink. She asked the witness for a loaf, as she said she had no bread for her children, and all the shops were shut up. Witness let her have a loaf. While he was at the bar missed Claridge and Mrs. Ilaggerstone. About five minutes afterwards witness went away after taking a glass of runt at the bar. Did not afterwards see Mrs. Haggerstone. Wit ness and his wife then went to Sanders' beer-shop, and while there the clock struck twelve. It was about half a mile from Sanders' beer-shop to his hut on Merton-common. Went direct home, and found Haggerstone there lying down on the bed with his clothes on. Nothing passed between him and the prisoner about the latter's wife. Witness went to bed ; shortly after which he heard voices outside the hut, who gave an alarm that Mrs. Haggerstone was sick, and afterwards said she was drowned. Witness wanted Haggerstone to get up, stating that if it was his case he would go and see. The prisoner began crying, and said be could not leave the chil dren and the baby. The prisoner then left. Got up on Sunday morning shortly after five o'clock ; at this time Hag gerstone was got up to go with the constable and overseer. Cross Examined by Mr. CLARKSON—CouId not tell whether Haggerstone had been drinking when he came home. Wit ness had lent not so much as to make him drunk. Mrs. Hag gerstone when she came had money, and paid him for the loaf. Believes that Haggerstone went with the constable to see about his wife. Claridge was au acquaintance of the witness. It might be a little after one when witness got home on Saturday night. Elizabeth Hodges examined by Mr. CHAMBERS— Was the wife of the last witness. The prisoner and his wife lived upon very hard terms. Had heard the prisoner say to his wife, Madam, I'll do for you ; - I can't do as I like here, because I am in Mrs. Hodges' house. Mrs. Haggerstone left the house about a quarter-past 11 o'clock in the day. She came to the White Hart, where witness was with her husband, and sent in for her. Mrs. Haggerstone then went into the White Hart together. The witness and her husband left the White Hart at half-past 11. Her husband was not sober. Saw Mrs. Hagger stone about 20 yards from the White Hart,but no one was with her. That was between the White Hart and Sanders's beer-shop. Mrs. Haggerstone left witness and went down Merton Rush, on her way home. There was a turning to the left just below San ders's beer-sh - op that would take her home. When witness got home found Haggerstone there on the bed. Witness said " Davy, is your wife at home?" to which he replied " No, Mr.. Hodges, is she not with you ?" Witness then said "Davy, its a very dark night, and if I was you I would get up and go across the fields and see for her," to which the prisoner replied "He would see her d—d first, that he supposed she was at some of her whoring tricks." Witness said " Don't judge her, Davy, it is a dark night ;" to which he replied "He would be d—d before he would go outside • the door for her." Witness said "Do get up, my lad, and see for her;" but he said he would not,' and added, " God send I may hear of her corpse before long." Witness some time afterwards went to bed, but did not go to sleep. The prisoner got up, and witness thought he had gone after his wife, but finding him still in the house, she again entreated him to go after his wife, to which he said he would see her d—d first, that he was going to bed to his children, and added, his wife should 'never lie beside him or his children any more. Some persons came and said that his wife was drowned; after some trouble she called up Haggerstone, saying that there was something the matter with his wife ; the prisoner said he would not get up, and hoped he should see his wife a corpse directly. He afterwards -set on crying, and cried out, " Ohl Claridge, I have done it, I have done it; why, Claridge, did you not stop me ? I have done it, I have done 'it, and the devil was with me at the time I did it." Witness's husband did not hear it. He again repeated the expressions in the middle of the day. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKION.—He was first examined on this subject on the Monday. Her husband was so drunk on the Saturday night after he left Sanders that he fell down several times. He, however, was sensible of what he was about. Claridge was taken into custody. Had no idea that any mischief would happen to Mrs. Haggerstone. Wanted her to stop with her at the White Hart, but she would not. Saw Mrs. Haggerstone and Claridge talking together at the White Hart. Did say that Haggerstone used the expression " The devil was with him," when she was before the Coroner. Upon being pressed she said she did not, but that she stated it before the Grand Jury. Knew before she made her deposi tions that Claridge was in custody. Never said a word about the expression used by the prisoner until after she knew that Claridge was out of custody. The well in which Mrs. Hag gerstone's body was found was about a quarter of a mile front her house. Witness had heard that upon examination of the body of Mrs. Haggerstone, it was discovered that she had been violated. By Mr. Justice PARK.—When the prisoner was told that his wife was drowned, he shed tears, and said he could not leave the children and the baby. Thomas Wallis examined by Mr. CHAMBERS ..On the night of the 16th of April was watchman at Merton, and was near the White Hart about 20 minutes before 12 o'clock. Saw Mrs. Haggerstone between the White Hart and Sander's beer shop. Claridge was with her. They were stopping on the road when witness saw them, but could not hear what the,' said. Mrs. Hodges then came out of the White Hart anti called Mrs. Ilaggerton, who did not make any answer. After wards Hodges and his wife came up, and they all went off to gether. Mrs. Hodges recalled—Claridge was not with them when she saw Mrs. Haggerstone. Thomas Wallis recalled—Could swear that Claridge was one of the four. Hodges appeared intoxicated. Mrs. Hag gerton had a loaf under her arm. Did not know whether she had a bonnet on or not. Never saw Claridge and Mrs. Hag gerstone together before. _ -By Mr. Justice Park—lt was not possible for Mrs. Hodges to avoid seeing Claridge and Mrs. flaggerstone together. Was sure that Claridge, when shown to him by the Coroner, was the man he had seen talking to Mrs. Haggerstone. George Home, examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—Was going home from the White Hart on the night of the 10th of April, about twelve o'clock. Saw a man and a woman on a style near his house, but could not swear to either; the man was about the size of Claridge. The man had a light frock on. Witness's house was about 100 yards from the well where Mrs. Haggerstone's body was found. After he got home he heard two persons talking together in a place called the Little Field, which led into the Winding Shot Field. The voices appeared to be those of a man and a woman. Witness was called up when the alarm was given that Mrs. Haggerstone's body had been found in the well. William Claridge, examined by Mr. CHAMBERS-- Was a la bourer, and worked on the lUth April at the rail-road at Mor den. In the evening was at the 'White Hart at Merton, for four hours • saw Mrs. Haggerstone there. She wa s th ere for an hour a n d an half. Witness left first, afterwards she came out, and they went up the road together as far as Mr. Sanders'. Saw Mr. and Mrs. Hodges, who walked with them ; Mrs. Hodges talked to them. Hodges and his wife went into the beer-shop, and witness and Mrs. Haggerstone stopped outside. Haggerstone then came up, and said to his wife, " d—n you, Madam, I have been looking for 3ou some time," and he then up with his fist and struck her on the left side of her face. He said then, " d—n your eyes, Madam, if you don't go your way home I will murder you." Mrs. Ilag. gerstone then bid witnesa good night, and she and the pri soner went off quarrelling together. This was about a quar ter tolone o'clock. They went up the Winding Shot Field to wards their own house. Witness went to the bakehouse op posite Sanders's, and upon finding it shut up, he went to San ders's. Hodges and his wife had just gone out. When outside the beer-shop, Mrs. Haggerstone and himself stood at the same place. Witness was called up the next morning ( Sunday) by the overseer and constable, who told him of Mrs. Haggerstone's body being found in the well. Witness was taken into custody about nine o'clock on Sunday morning. Haggerstone and himself were in custody together in the Whit e H art par l our. On Monday Haggerstone told witness not to say any thing of what happened on Satur day night between him and his wife. This was before they went before the coroner. Witness made his first statement before the coroner on Thursday, and the second on the Mon day following. Was discharged on that night from custody. Cross-examined by Mr. COANE—Did not make the same statement on Thursday as he did on Monday. Did not say anything of the prisoner striking his wife till the Monday after he was discharged. His reason for not doing it was, because the prisoner wished him not to do it. Witness suspected at the time that the prisoner had murdered his wife. The hh?; the prisoner gave his wife was- a very violent one, but wi. iiess did not attempt to protect her. She defended herself as well as she could. Did not call out for the Hodges' to eeme, and did not go into Saunders to inform them o f what had taken place. The ream he disclosed what hn did can Monday was because be thought it wits right to do so. Aid POt make the statement to sage himself, fly Mr, justice I 3 likaic-,The woman did not mil out when the prisoner struck her, Did not know whether he or the pri soner was the better man, William Deakins examined by Mr. CH AMBERS-Was near Wyatt's-lane on the night Mrs. Haggerstone's body was found in the well, about half-past twelve o'clock. That lane was a little to the right going from Sanders's beer-shop to Hagler_ ...__~_~ '.~::~_- .II ........,-- st,tioonep'seohpolueseta;lkitinwgasinalstohcelofis,eldbya\sVhinedi,ncge-ntShalootnfige—ldHe_esiari Heart. either " D—n my eyes, I've been to the Crown, or, u my eyes, I'll go to the Crown." This was about from the well where the body was forfeit].

She 1: new that by her clock being by her room door. \Vent to the well immediately; at this time all noise had ceased. Saw the woman taken out of the well. Mrs. Haggerstone, when alive, knew where the well was. George Green assisted in taking the body of Mrs. Hagger stone out of the well. This witness corroborated the state ment of Hodges and his wife as to the refusal of the prisoner to get up when he was told that his wife was dead. William Cleaver found a bonnet with but one string and a shawl, near the well ; afterwards found the other string in a field near the Winding Shot Field. Joseph Johnson found a cap in the Winding Shot FieU on the Monday after the body of Mrs. Haggerstone was Nand in the well. Witness also found a stick. There was a mark on the hank as if some one had been sitting there. Cross-examined by Mr. DOANE—The bank was a sloping one, and appeared as if' a person had sat upon it. There was no mark of footsteps there. Henry Hart, a constable, went to hiaggerstone's house, 021 Sunday morning, accompanied by Mr. Serle. Hagge - esione was in bed, and wintess called him up. He came to t,ne door almost directly ; he had then his t rowsers on . Wiv ies s asked him why' he did not get up when people came to tees him about his wife ; he said he could not tell the reason but turning to Hodges's bed, which was in the same roor 4 he said, " my eyes ! this is all through that Clarridke," to which Hodges reolied " D—n my eyes ! you have got into a b—y fin° mess at last." Took him to the well, and said to him, " Hag gerstone, this is w h ere y our wife was found, he looked into the well and said, yes; there is some of the bread swimming now. Witness had not told him that she had any bread- Afterwards took him to the White Hart, where the body was, when he said, " Oh, the poor dear creature."
