THE LATE ACCII)ENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAIL WA.Y. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIT. Stit,—Having been a passenger in the Great Western express train, which left Paddington on Tuesday morning last, at a quarter before ten, and heving read various accounts of the acci dent which occurred to such train, I deem it right to transmit to you, for the information of the public, sundry particulars which came under my notice- We were travelling between Paddington and Slough, at a speed of about sixty miles an hour, when suddenly I felt something unusual in the motion of the train, and immediately we were en veloped in a dense cloud of dust. The passengers at each window, by a simultaneous impulse, drew up the glasses. While they were doing so I exclaimed " There is certainly something wrong;" and scarcely had I utteted the words when our carriage began to incline on one side ; it then fell heavily to the ground, and toppling over settled ultimately at the bottom of an embankment, with its wheels in the air. In a case of this kind it is impossible accurately to measure time, or to give a very correct notion of one's feelings. There was an interval, however, during which I thought, and felt that I was in a state of extreme peril, but that, bowever great the danger might be, I could do nothing to escape from it. I sat quietly, therefore, without moving limb or muscle, and, strange to say, without the slightest sensation of fear. When the carriage fell I was dashed out of my seat, and as it turned over I was turned too, and for a few seconds I lost the power of vision. When sight was restored I found myself at the bottom of the inverted carriage, looking through a broken window upon a grassy bank. During the whole of this time there was no shriek, scream, nor expression of pain from any one in my carriage. All was silent—a solemn, awful silence, such as pervades the chamber of the dead. The first words that met my ear were those of a soft, sweet, female voice, exclaiming, " Thank God, we are not hurt !" The voice was that of a lady who had been sitting opposite to me, and who was now lying by my side, in a position which manly de corum forbids me to describe. Thinking she had been premature in concluding no one was hurt, she said to me, " Are you hurt, Sir ?" And on my answering In the negative, she repeated, " Thank God I thank God !" Similar inquiries of others led to repetitions of the same pious ejaculation on the part of the lady, and is. which we all fervently joined. We then crept composedly one by one out of the broken window. The scene that presented itself ouiside baffles all attempt at description. The engine and tender had altogether disappeared. Some yards in advance of us was seen the luggage van, still on the line of road. The first second-class carriage of the train had been forcibly wheeled round in a transverse direction across the rails, and had there come to a dead stand, deeply embedded in the ballasting. Three carriages were at the bottom of the embankment ; two lying on their sides broken and splintered; and the third (in a compartment of which I had been) was completely turned over, as before stated, and dreadfully fractured at one end. All the carriages were soon emptied of their inmates, and we ibund, from mutual inquiries, to our great satisfaction, that there was no loss of life. I was deeply grieved, however, to perceive many evidences of serious bodily injury. The faces of all were begrirned, and their apparel covered with dust. One was seen limping along, another complained of his arm, another of his side; one was bleeding from the nose, another from the head, and the face of one was cut and contused in a most frightful manner. All, however, whetter injured or not, seemed actuated by one and the same philanthropic desire of alleviating as tar as possible the suffer ings of their fellow passengers. la a few minutes a great number of labourers wereseen running to the spot, and several horses also arrived. I heard some one be longing to the Company beg of a labourer to assist in removing the carriage which had got across the line. " Who is to pay me ?" said a surly voice. I looked at the man, and indignantly mut tered, "The devil!" What else was said to him I know not, but be seemed satisfied and went to his work. In about half an hour an engine with some carriages arrived from Slough, bringing a surgeon. He was pressed to attend first upon a gentleman of wealth and high consideration. His answer was characteristic of a humane, a noble, and a generous mind— " Take me first," said he, " to him who is most injured ; I care not what may be his name or station." While we were detained at Slough I saw two ladies carried away helpless and insensible. I was told that one had received a severe concussion of the brain, and that there was little hope of her reovery. As to the cause of the accident I cannot speak with any degree of certainty, but it is my strong impression that'the portion of the line upon which we were travelling at the time the accident oe. curred had been and was then under repair, and that, through some unaccountable carelessness, our train was allowed to run upon rails and sleepers, which, though arranged probably in their proper position, were not permanently fixed or adequately secured. This was the opinion of all the passengers with whom I conversed on the subject, and I have little doubt that a searching investigation will end in confirming that opinion. I fear that one of the most serious sufferers from this accident will be my highly esteemed and valued friend, Mr. W. Miles, the Member for Somersetahire, whose arm was almost wrenched from his body, and who yet insisted on proceeding to join his family at Bristol. I witnessed and shall never forget his patient endurance for several hours of the most agonising bodily torture. For my part, I have great reason to be thankful. A few trifling bruises of the arm, and a slight occasional dizziness of the head, are all the injuries I have sustained.—l am, Sir, your most obedient ser vant, REGINALD J. BLEWITT. Llanturnam Abbey, Newport, Monmouthshire, June 20. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. CAMBRIDGE, JUNE 20.—The different sections for scientific business commenced their sittings yesterday. With the excep. tions of the mathematical and physical sections, the attendance was not at all numerous, and for want of papers, the mechani. cal and medical sections did not hold any meeting. The first general meeting was held in the evening at the Se nate House, which was filled with a large and respectable com pany, containing a large proportion of ladies. The chair was taken:by the Dean of Ely, who was supported by the Marquis of Northampton, Sir David Brewster, Sir H. de la Beche, the Dean of Westminster, and many leading members. The PRESIDENT briefly addressed the meeting, stating that it was now his duty to resign the chair into the hands of Sir John Herschel!. He had felt it to be a great privilege at York that it should be left to him to communicate their invitation to the different magnetic observers throughout Europe. That in vitation had been most cordially responded to. Sir JOHN HERSCHELL, in taking the chair, referred to the long friendship which had existed between him and the former President, and then proceeded at considerable length to refer to the progress of magnetical and meteorological observations throughout the world. The result has been the accumulation of an enormous mass of information, which has placed the science high, although time must be allowed for their discussion. It was the greatest and most pro longed system of observations which had ever been mule ; the manner in which they had been supported by the British and Russian Governments and the East India Company being most munificent, but their continuance must be settled before the present meeting closes. It was not now necessary to seek for the aid of foreign talent ; the mind of Britain was equal to any; in mathematical analysis it could accomplish anything, and when once the prize of public estimation was held out to view ; nothing would be wanting. The President next ad verted to the loss which meteorology had sustained in the death of the late Professor Daniell ; in the progress of observation made by Lord Rosse's telescope, where his discoveries had con firmed his father's opinion, that all nebulae were double stars— on the philosophy of logic, agricultural chemistry, &c., and the imperative necessity of an alteration in scientific nomencla ture, to keep pace with the wider range which it had taken. Mr. EVERETT, the United States Minister, said that he had unexpectedly been called upon to propose the thanks of the meeting to the President for his address. He much re gretted that none of the philosophers from his country were present ; but without any claim to that character himself, he might stand forward as their representative. He saw in the president the son of one who gage the " Lyre of Heaven" another string. By the irresistible power of his sagacity, he noticed what had passed for a s'ar for ages, and tran , ferred it to the solar system, but so remote was it that it had not yet, perhaps, concluded its cycle. The name of the president was as well known in America as in Europe, and if he would go westward as well as south, he would see himself surrounded by admirers and friends of kindred tongues. The University of Cambridge in New England was his own trans-Atlantic Almanlater ; and he looked with pride towards it as having been founded by a member of Emmanuel College, in this University. The Marquis of Northampton briefly seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation. There was a large - influx of members yesterday, th e num b ers who registered up to ten o'clocklast night being 311, and mak ing a total of 657. TROOPS FROM CALCUTTA.-CEIATHAM, JUNE 20 —On Thursday afternoon, the 19th instant, arrived the several detachments at the Invalid Dept, Casema'e Barracks, Brompton, consisting of one sergeant.major, two sergeants, two corporals, and five privates of the 3d Light Dragoons ; and 16 privates belong. jog to the 16th Lancers, with one colour-sergeant of the 3d Buffs, that was left behind by the regiment when it sailed for England ; three privates of the 9th Foot ; one colour-sergeant, three sergeants, and thirty-nine privates of the 31st; one colour sergeant and one private, 39th ; two privates of the 50th ; and nine women and thirty-two children belonging to the above. The detachments were in charge of Lieutenant Grey of the 39th, and came from India in the ship Prince of Wales, 1,350 tons burden, Captain Hopkins. The troops embarked at Calcutta on the 17th of February last, and sailed immediately, and on arrival at the Cape the ship put in and remained seven days, taking in water and fresh provisions, and arrived off Gravesend, after an excellent passage of 122 days, and, most remarkable, although the greatest portion of the soldiera have been in India a number of years, and at the recapture of Caubul, and suffering considerable hardships in the late wars in India, not one man of them died on board. This splendid ship brought to England several passengers, among whom was Mrs. Yewell, wife of Mr. Yewell, who has charge of a gold mine, and Mr. Hill, an indigo planter (the former lost a child by death) ; Captain Salmon, of the Hon. East India Company's artillery, with many other officers in the Company's service. Dr. Clark, a civilian, had medical charge of the vessel. On Thursday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, as Mr. Frederick Burton, the usher of the Greenwich ]Police-court, was returning home, after delivering over to the Go. vernor of Kingston gaol a man who had been convicted of sn.ug gling, and on entering the station to go by the first train for Lon don, he observed four suspicious looking men get out of the train from Moulsey. Mr. Cornell, the deputy-governor of Kingston gaol, was in his company, to whom he mentioned the circumstance, and they both watched the parties closely, who, on being observed, en deavoured to make off. Three out of the four succeeded in slipping through the station into the town, and escaped. The prisoner rushed into the pay office, sat down, and attempted to pass a bundle under the seat, when his hand was caught hold of by Mr. Cornell, and Mr. Burton, with the handcuffs he had taken off the smuggler's wrists, secured the prisoner, and conveyed him to the police station. On the bundle being examined, nine large table spoons, four silver forks, two silver ladles, two silver salts, and other articles were prod uce d , wet with gravy; and, on searching his person, oth er valuable property was found, which, it is fully expected will be owned when the prisoner is brOught before the magistrates.

THE ZIEEDS AND WEST RIDING ILAILWAXS. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) William Leonard and John O'Brien were brought be fore the Lord Mayor, charged upon suspicion of having caused an explosion of gas in the house of Mrs. Ellen Reenig, who keeps the Black Horse in Petticoat-lane. Mrs. Reenig stated that the prisoners came into the bar of her house, and having called for beer, requested that the gas might be lighted in the bar parlour. This she refused, because they had a woman with them. While they were drinking the beer, her children came into the tap-room, and began to play there, when they were abused by the prisoners, who said to her it would not be long before she and they were annoyed a good deal more. After the house was shut up, she smelt a strong escape of gas, and took a candle into the tap-room to see what was the matter with the gas-pipe. Upon her entering the room a loud explosion took place, and she was very seriously injured by it ; part of her dress was set on fire, and she had ever since been in an hospital under medical treatment. •No one, she was certain, had entered the house but the prisoners, and the female with them, after the time when she saw that the gas was in its proper place. The pipe had been removed when the explosion took place. Witness had no quarrel with the prisoners, but O'Brien was an intimate ac quaintance of a man who had lately been held to bail for repeated threats towards her. The Committee on this Bill, the Duke of Cleveland in the chair, met this day at eleven o'clock, and proceeded with the case for the promoters. Mr. William Firth, cloth manufacturer, of Leeds, was examined by Mr. Tsmyr. The witness gave evidence as to the great ad. vantages of the proposed branches to the manufacturers and traders of the West Riding districts, who at present were subjected to much inconvenience and expense in the mode of transit now available. Mr. BAINES, on behalf of the opposing landowners, cross. examined the witness; but the Learned Counsel failed to elicit anything prejudical to the case for the promoters of the Bill. Mr. Daunton Luckton, Mayor of Leeds, was the next witness called—He was of opinion that the proposed lines of railway would add much to the general trade of Leeds, from the great facility which would be afforded in the transit of goods and general mer chandise.

After a deliberation of an hour the parties were called in and infbrmed by the Chairman that the Committee, having considered the point, they had decided not to allow the opponents to go into evidence in favour of a line of railway not before them. The opponents should, therefore, confine themselves to evidence on the general case at issue between themselves as land owners, and the promoters as parties whose works were likely to injure their property. The examination was then continued, and the Committee adjourned at two o'clock till Monday. The MAGISTRATE said he regretted it was not in his power to punish the prisoners as they deserved, he would therefore commit them to take their trial. MAh'YLEBONE. Mr. Joshua Rose Anderson, the brother in-law of Madame Vestris, attended to prefer the following charge against a young man, named Samuel Richardson, living with his sister, a fishmonger, in Lisson•grove :—The complainant said that as he left his house that morning he was accosted by the defendant, who asked him his name, and then said, " You are no better than a thief and a swindler." This was on account of his owing the defendant a bill he had sent in, but which complainant said required alteration. Defendant then renewed his abuse, and threatened to throw a large stone at him. Complainant then gave defendant into custody. The defendant, in answer, said he had called fifty or sixty times upon complainant for payment of a bill, which amounted to 21. 175., Hue to his sister. He had always been told Mr. Anderson was out He had waited for him, and, havine been refused his money, he told him his conduct was nothing shirt of swindling, upon which complainant abused him, and threatened to break his neck. It was then that defendant took up a stone in self-defence. People were continually after him for money, but he would pay no one.—Defendant was fined 205., which he paid. A young woman, living as nursery maid in the service of Mr. Anderson, applied for and obtained a warrant against her master, who, she alleged, had, on the pre vious night, violently assaulted her, and attempted to throw her over the bannisters. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP X. CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN' RAILWAY. The Committee sat at the usual hour, and the traffic evidence was resumed. Mr. Josiah Parkes was called to depose to the coach traffic upon the present lines of road in the district of St. Ives. Mr. Parks, civil engineer, having been asked a few questions of an engineering character, was then asked as to the traffic in live stock in a certain district, but Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM objected to the witness giving such evidence, inasmuch as he was an engineer, and, therefore, any in formation he did possess upon the live stock traffic must of neces sity net be facts of his own knowledge, but have come through some other channel, and from parties who should themselves have been called to give such evidence. If this course were permitted to be persevered in, there was in fact no part of this case which this witness might not be called upon to prove ; and it was a waste of time and of money to be attempting to give evidence in this way. Mr. HILDYARD said he could, if the Committee required it, pro duce the drovers to give their evidence ; but he thought it would be a saving of time to give it in this way. The Committee then retired, and on their return LAMBETH. Mr. William Hewett, the private secretary to Mr. Fergus O'Connor, was charged before Mr. Henry by Mr. Bellamy, the relieving officer of Lambeth, with refusing to support his wife. It app-ared that the defendant was living separate from his wife, that he allowed her two shillings per week to support herself, that she had lately been in a bad state of health, and the pittance allowed by her husband was inadequate to her support. She had. therefore, applied to the parish, and had been relieved to the extent of 175., that the defendant was in the re ceipt of 11. per week, and was living with another female in a lodging, for which he paid 6s. 6d. a week. Mr. HENRY said that the defendant must repay the parish what had been expended for the support of his wife, and must make her an increased allowance for her support—the case to stand over for this purpose ; BOW-STREET. Friday John T a yl or a li as J o h n: ,.,n, of 7, Gillingham street, Vauxhall, was placed 11":, the bar before Mr. Hall, charged with stealing a o '7:entity of silver plate and other valuable articles from B Majesty. ',iciangham Palace, the prope r ty o f h er On the r c . . ben were the Lord Chamberlain and hi s secretar Sir W. /411:etin, who att en d e d t o h ear th e investigation. y, Mr. `dayward, from the office of the solicitor to the Treasury, co•Aucted the prosecution, and the prisoner was represented by Mr. Wolff, from Mr. Flower's office. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner, who had been employed several }ears as a cabinet maker at the palace, engaged a cab in Eton-street, Pimlico, on Friday evening, the 13th inst., and proceeded to Long-acre, where he got out of the vehicle and desired the driver to wait a few moments until his return. He proceeded to the shop of a Mr. Seymour, of 38, Long-acre, to whom he had often sold broken up plate, and produced a quantity of silver, for which he demanded 81. The superiority of the plate induced Mr. Seymour now, for the first time, to ask the name and address of the prisoner, who wrote on a slip of paper " John Johnson, Upper S e y mour - street, Somers - town. " A deal was effected, and when the prisoner had left the shop a policeman was sent after him by Mr. Seymour, who acquainted the officer with the nature of his business, and gave him the address furnished by the prisoner, in order that he might set an inquiry on foot respecting him. The constable, F 206. followed him to the shop of a cabinet-maker named Richardson, where he was informed that the name of the per son who had just entered was Taylor ; he consequently apprised him of his suspicions, and took him into custody. The pri soner, on his way to the police station, expressed his fears that he should get into a bother about the affair, "as the man who gave him the plate had gone abroad, he did not know where." He also admitted that his real name was Taylor. When at the police-office he addressed a letter to his wife, desiring her to say that the property had been left with them by a foreigner, who had been lodging with them, and who gave them permis sion to dispose of it, if he did not claim it within a period of three months. The letter contained other instructions to his wife, which fully implicated himself, and, in conclusion, he re quested her to pay the bearer of it 2s. 6d. on delivery. The cabman, meanwhile, had been patiently waiting in St. Mar tin's-lane for the return of the prisoner, whose non •appearance at the expiration of three hours induced him to drive to the Bow -street station, where, to his surprise, he found the pri soner in custody. In the cab was found a bag, containing a valuable china vase, which it was afterwards found had been stolen from the Palace with the other property. Mr. Seymour stated that the prisoner had repeatedly sold plate of considerable value at his shop, but from his apparent respectability he had never suspected him of having obtained it dishonestly. Some few weeks ago he had purchased of him a quantity of silver which had been partially melted dawn, and which he thought at the time had been a telescope stand, and part of some silver figures. Mr. HALL thought that it was a pity he did not make his inquiries at that time. Mr. maunders, inspector of the Royal Palaces, examined the plate produced, as well as the vase, and identified both as the property of her Majesty. The former was part of two equestrian statues, standing about twelve inches high, and re presenting Louis XIII. and Marshal Saxe; the value of the ornament being . 2001. The other portion of the silver was the produce of a microscope and stand, worth 40/., before being melted down, and sold to Mr. Seymour at 4s. 6d. per ounce. The silver articles and the vase (valued at 101.) had been stelen from a bookcase in a closet adjoining the library of the Palace, to which the prisoner had access when employed there, but from which the property had not been missed until the pre sent transaction became known at the Palace. Some furniture had been also found in the prisoner's house belonging to her Majesty —the royal initials being obliterated. The witnesses having been severally hound over in the sum of 100/. each to appear against the prisoner at his trial, Mr. HALL remanded him for further examination if neces sary. A remarkable circumstance has been disclosed by the above inquiry. About a year ago two women servants in the Palace, named Lindsey, were brought before Mr. Hall on suspicion of stealing furniture from the royal residence, and acquitted, al though discharged from her Majesty's service. Subsequently, a cabinet-maker, named Fletcher, was accused of the theft, but net taken into custody. Still the imputation affected his mind so deeply, that he soon afterwards committed suicide by hanging himself. The furniture then missed has been now discovered in the above prisoner's house. The CHAIRMAN said the Committee were of opinion that if the Counsel who produced the • witness conceived this evidence im. portant to their case they could go on with it.

La Coste ... 3,756 Colchester Bank, Colchester—Round, Green, Mr. WEBSTER then proceeded with his examination of the wit ness, upon the vast and complicated traffic tables before him. He said the observed traffic to Smithfield would not, in fact, give the actual traffic at all in cattle ; he, there fore, employed persons to ascertain the amount of that traffic from other sources, such as the returns of Mr. Herbert and Mr. Thompson, professed traffic takers. It often happened that there were weeks during which no cattle came from some counties to Smithfield, and, therefore, the observed traffic could not be relied on, for it would be entirely fallacious. The tables contained no account of live stock brought short distances, but those only which came the whole distance from Lincolnshire, Nottingham, Cambridgeshire, and the other counties, to Smithfield. The table did not include calves, lambs, or swine, as no accurate information could be had in respect to the number of those animals that came from those counties. , . and Co. 20.686 Colchester and Essex Bank, Withani and Essex Bank, and iladleigh Bank, Suffolk, Colchester —Mills, Bawtree, and Co Cornish Bank, Truro—Tweedy and Co, . 40,521 Coventry Bank, Coventry—Little and Wood- cock - 8,520 City Bank, Exeter—Milford and Co 21,243 Craven Bank, Settle—Birkbecks and Co.

Considerable alarm was created in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel Church, on Saturday morning, between six and seven o'clock, by an explosion of a fearful cha racter taking place at the Proof-house of the Gun makers' Company, situate on the south side of Church lane, in the above vicinity, which, in addition to de stroying much property, narrowly involved a melan choly loss of life. From inquiries instituted on the spot, shortly after the occurrence, it appears that several of the workmen were engaged in the workshop in a line with the street, and immediately under the magazine, charging musket, barrels with powder, for the purpose of proving them. A lad named Oldsham was so employed at a bench against the front brick wall, when it is supposed that in loading a barrel something brittle was amongst the pow der, and which causing ignition instantly fired. On the several benches were small vessels containing powder, and which at the same moment exploded, causing a shock of a very alarming description. The whole range of windows were literally blown out, frames and all, into a spacious yard in the centre of the premises, and the whole of the glass in the immediate neighbourhood broken. The interior of the workshops also suffered, and the only miracle is that it did not ex plode the magazine ; if such had happened, as there was stored a great quantity of powder therein, the greatest injury must have been effected. The escape of those o employed i n th at part of the wor k s w here the e x pl os i on occurred had b een most prov id ent i a l. They managed to make their way i nto fil yard, obishaw being the only one injured, he having one of his fingers completely blown off, and otherwise hurt. He was promptly removed to the London Hospital, where he now lies in a very unfavourable state. The police, on hearing the report, instantly forwarded intelligence of the fact to the brigade at Wellclose-square, and in a brief time a party of firemen arrived. The pretni- es, how ever, had not taken fire, therefore their services were not required beyond extinguishing a few sparks that here and there laid. The dwelling-house of Mr. Mill wood, the manager of the proof-house, which adjoined, has suffered much from the shock, and the whole pro perty is said not to be insured. The works, standing as they do in a principal thoroughfare, and almost in the heart of the metropolis, ought to be removed to a more distant part.

COURT OF QUEEIV'S BENCH, June 21. BROOKES V. LOCKET. In this case, which was argued very fully on Saturday last, Mr. Watson, Q. C., appeared to show cause why the rule prayed for by the defendant, should be made absolute. The great question in the case was a construction under the new Attorneys' Act. The declaration alleged work and labour done as an attorney, and the plea stated that no bill had been delivered before the commencement of the suit, as by the statute required. The replica tion set forth that a bill had been delivered without alleging " according to the statute." Mr. Watson wholly relied upon the fact that the bill had not been delivered according to the statute. Mr. Brookes, the attorney and plaintiff in the case, performed con.. veyancing business for Mr. Rocket, a bill for which before the passing of the 6th and 7th Vic. vas not taxable. He sent in his bill, but not signed, and the Act referred to, which the Learned Counsel contended was retrospective, declared it should be so. As the delivery of the bill, which took place a month before the Act was passed, was not good, it could not now be taxed. The Learned Counsel went on to argue for his view of the case, but the argu. tnents were technical and of no public interest. The COURT postponed judgment. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Ann Poulton, aged 30, was indicted for the wilful mur der of her female child, of which she had recently been delivered. Mr. Doane defended the prisoner. Mr. Crouch, a surgeon, was first called, and stated that on the 2d of May he was called in to 19, Hanway-street, to attend the prisoner. She had a child in her arms, which was recently born ; it wa, alive. He saw no marks on the child. He saw the child again in about an hour, and again in two hours. It had been washed. He saw marks on the right temple and eye. His opinion was that they arose from violence, and not in the course of the birth. He saw the child again in an hour, when it was in a dying state. He made no post mortem examina tion. The child lost a great deal of blood from the nose and mouth, which he considered to be the cause of death. The bleeding no doubt aro , ie from the same vio lence which produced the marks on the temple and eye. Cross-examined—The marks might have been pro duced by a fall. Mr. Hinde, also a surgeon, proved that he made a post mortem examination of the child on the 10th of May. It was a full-grown child. There were two marks on the side of the neck, corresponding in size with marks which could be produced by fingers. There was a similar mark by the right eye. There was dry blood on the face, which had come from the nose and mouth. On raising the scalp he found a good deal of extravasated blood, and also that the parietal bone of the skull had been broken, and several parts were detached. There was also a fracture of the frontal bone. These injuries were the cause of death. A fall might have occasioned those in juries on the skull. - Diana Hugo, a widow, proved that on the 2d of May she went to work at 19, Hanway-street, at half past six in the morning. She found the kitchen stained all over with blood. The prisoner was servant there. Witness called her several times. She came at length and said she was very ill. Witness went up stairs when she had cleaned the kitchen, and begged her mistress to come down. Witness had previously accused the prisoner of being in the family way, which she denied. Witness afterwards found a child in the coal- hole. She was first induced to go there by hearing it cry. She took it and placed itbefore the fire. Afterwards she put the prisoner to bed and placed the child with her. It died the same day, and was conveyed to the Marylebone workhouse. By a Juryman—Saw no marks, except a swelling of the eye, when she first took up the child. Mrs. Ireland, of 19, Hanway-strf•et, stated that the prisoner had been in her service three months. She ob served that she was in the family way, but did not speak to her about it. On Mrs. Hugo calling on her on the 2d of May, she accused the prisoner of having been deli vered of a child, which she denied. Henry Fowler, a policeman, proved that he removed the body of the child to the workhouse, and that he ac cused the prisoner of inflicting the injuries which caused the death. She told him she had fallen down stairs a few days before, and that was the cause of them. CrosQ-examined—He asked her the questions about the violence of his own accord. It was soon after she was delivered. Mr. Justice PATTESOS told the constable that he had no right to ask a woman questions when she was in such a state. The prisoner's defence before the magistrates was, that she was not aware she was going to be confined so soon, or she would have left her place before and had proper assistance. She had let the child fall in the coal cellar while in her agony. Mr. Justice PATTESON here stopped the case, and said there was no evidence to support the charge of murder, for the surgeons had stated that it was very probable the injuries had arisen from a fall.
