Messrs. Edwards. Mason, and — Vd;;;ds, Moorgate-street, London, - • This Railway will commence at the important town of Wolver hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull and' Claverley, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth ; from thence it will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Ludlow, and there fall into other projected lines to all parts of Eng land, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty two miles. It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c.; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction Railway, give to those towns and districts the most direct route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North Eastern and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have hitherto been excluded by every project •f the day. It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and South Shropshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and the Clee Hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those ne cessary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep, cider, wool, hops and other agricultural productions, as also timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to pro duce an immense traffic. To the towns embraced in this line, the value of obtaining thereby, at tke cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the ut most importance. One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or Bridgnorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu nication between Ireland and the metropolis, this line will thereby afford to passengers the easiest comimunication to and from the cen tral parts of the kingdom. It is satisfactory to the promoters to state that they have the sanc tion of the Grand Junction Company,. and the co-operation of the - Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire Junction, and the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no projeet has been announced in competition with its acknowledged claim on public support. The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be constructed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly pro tected. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Company will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such arrange ments as shall best serve the interests of this Company, and the public, with existing or projected Companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company. Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four per cent. interest on the calls. Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally interested, and to the shareholders of lines In connexion with this.

This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with a short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South end, on the opposite Essex coast, and will proceed from Sheerness by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with one of the proposed lines from London by that town to Canterbury and Dover. The integral line will be continued from Faversham to or near to Herne Bay,: and from thence to the South-Eastern Extension Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro • ceed on that line direct to Ramsgate eastwards, and direct to Deal south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the line will also be carried by a short extension to Margate. By this project Margee will bo placed within 75 miles of the me tropolis, instead of more than 100, as at present, and that too by a direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon don lines. The important town of Itanas,gate, now so extensively connected with continental communication, will also be thus afforded a much nearer overland route to London. By means also of this undertaking, in conjunction with the exist ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex, the whole of the passengers and traffic from the Northern, the Mid land, and the Eastern Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the Continent via Sheerness, in preference to a lengthened and cir cuitous route through the metropolis, whereby the journey will be shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses will be curtailed, an the serious Inconvenience and delay of tranihipsment and con veyance from one part of London to another wholly avoided. A glance at the map also will show the immense advantage which the metropolis Itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes to Sheerness, Margate, Ramsgate, Deal, and Dover, and the greater part of Kent. Thousands of persons will proceed direct from the me tropolis to Margate and Ramsgate throughout, whilst a multitude of others will prefer landing at Sheerness and then proceed by this rail way, thereby shortening the journey and avoiding the sea. The importance of a direct line from Sheerness to Dover as a national object, and the immense existing traffic in the direction of the undertaking, with the great increase which the improved and enlarged modes of a communication throughout Kent will occasion, must be too apparent to need further observation; and the Commit tee from careful inquiry feel confidence in stating that no scheme of ra ilway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater public and private advantages. About thirty-six miles of new railway only will embrace all the above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to Faversham about •••• • • • • ........ ..... ..... 12 miles.

Dispatches for the Governor-General of Canada, and for the Governors of the other North American Provinces, were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office. • Dispatches were also sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office for the Governor of the Mauritius. A correspondent assures us that the credit of im pressing a bathing machine into the service of royalty in its aquatic excursions is not due to Louis Philippe. The idea dates back so far as 1823, when Sir Edmund Nagle and Sir Charles Paget bundled George the Fourth into a bathing machine at Brighton, the royal barge being at the same time backed into the seaward steps of the machine, which thus answered the purpose of a stepping-stone to his Majesty in getting on board ship in shallow water.—Brighton Guardian. TUE REGISTRATION. - It is satisfactory to know that all is proceeeing well with regard to the registration, and that the Liberals have gained a large accession of votes to their majority. It was anticipated by the Conservatives that a split would take place between the members of the Anti-Corn-law League and other portions of the Liberal con stituency. We are happy to be able to state that such is no:: the case, there having been a good understanding restored between the constituency and their representatives. A speedy dissolution of Parliament, were it to take place, would there fore, fail to benefit. the Conservatives, or to place the repre sentatives of this borough again in their hands.—Cambridge Advertiser.

The objects, therefore, embraced by the present undertaking are 1. A direct line from Leicester by way of Market Harborough to Noithampton, being he original South Midland 2. A line diverging therefrom at Market Harborough, and passing by way of Kettering to Bedford ; and 3. A branch from the last-mentioned line, at or near Kettering, to Huntingdon.

RAILROAD EXTRAORDINARY.—We learn from au thority, which we cannot distrust, that a plan of railway is now in active contemplation, and in highly influential hands, which bids fair to be one of the most imposing adventures of this adventurous era. It is one which, if accomplished (and we see no reason to doubt its practicability), must create im mense interest in these districts, where it is calculated to work a sort of revolution in commerce. It has been already ascer tained by Mr. Pease and others, tbat coals may be carried by railway under arrangements most benelicial to all parties. This being the case, it is proposed to complete a double line of railway from Newcastle to the metropolis for the carriage of goods only; these goods being coals chiefly upwards, and miscellaneous packages downwards. As this line would exclude passengers, great speed is not an object. The coals would be delivered in a condition far superior to that which goes by sea, and the metropolitan market would by this means he regularly supplied, at all times, with superior coals, on terms that would hardly vary, and which would be lower than any that London has yet seen. We have been favoured with an outline of some of the calcula tions for this scheme. As to the cost of the railway we can not judge. It is estimated, however, at somewhat above four millions, and it is proposed to obtain a subscribed capital of five millions to meet all contingencies. The consumption of coal, in London alone, is about 4,000,000 tons annually. The carriage upon three millions tons of coal, alone, would yield a handsome profit, even at rates very low indeed. As far as the coal trade of Northumberland and Durham is con cerned, a transit like this, if once effected, would be a great safeguard. They might thenceforward defy all competition, and. enjoy a fmonopoly of the supply of the metropolis. We look with great interest for further details as to the gigan tic undertaking.—Tyne Mercury. DENDRE VALLEY RAILWAY AND CANAL COMPANY. —The Directors of this Company, which connects both by rail and canal some of the most important towns in Belgium, will shortly publish their report. The estimation in which this line has stood, is fully shown by the fact that the shares have always been at a premium. The operations have been commenced, and are in active progress, and junctions with the State lilies may be expected to be announced. The ad vantage of rail and canal carriage is very important for the peculiar traffic of this district. SMALL DEBTS ACT.—A very numerous meeting of the Commissioners of the Court of Requests for the dis trict, which comprises upwards of 20 parishes, was convened on Thursday, at the Court-house, at Greenwich, to take into consideration the provisions of the Small Debts Act, and to discuss the propriety and necessity of appealing to the Queen in Council to extend the provisions of the Act to this Court. Mr. B. Carter was called to the chair; and in consequence of the Court-house not affording sufficient accommodation for the large number of Commissioners present, an adjournment took place to the concert-room of the Admiral Hardy Tavern, Clarence-street. Mr. Talmadge moved a resolution, express.. ing the opinion of the meeting, that it was desirable that the powers and provisions of the Act 8 and 9 Victoria, c. 127, should be fully extended to this Court, and the district under its jurisdiction ; and that a memorial be prepared to her Majesty in Council, praying her Majesty to enlarge the juris diction of this Court for the recovery of all debts, demands, and damages not exceeding 20/. This resolution was carried unanimously, and the meeting then separated. At the large stock fairs of Balla, county Mayo, and Athleague, county Roscommon, the prices were uncommonly high, and everything changed hands A SECOND CROP or BEANS.—We have been shown a quantity of beans, part of a second crop grown in a garden on Greenhill, belonging to Mr. Williajn Stalswortb, of Quay street. The beans sown were of the broad Windsor sort, and the first early crop, which was a good one, having been picked, the stalks were cut off about three inches above the ground, and the roots suffered to remain. The result was that they sprouted out again, and are now yielding a second crop far more abundant than the first. The pods are large and par ticularly well corned. This is a fact well worthy the atten tion of agriculturists.— Worcestershire Chronicle. ARRIVAL OF OXEN AND SHEEP FROM HOLLAND.—On Thursday morning three large Dutch steam-vessels arrived in the river Thames from Holland, having on board 225 oxen, and between 400 and 500 sheep, which during the day were landed, and numbers of them which were consigned to the principal carcase butchers in Newgate market, were driven there ; the others are for sate at Smithfield-market. The residue of the ships' cargoes consisted of various sorts of fruits. There were some hundreds of bushels of walnuts, which had been pur chased for dealers in Covent-garden-market ; they are remarkably fine and large. GLASGOW PIG-IRON TRADE.—SEPT. 30.—Much inquiry and large purchases have been made these few days past, at advancing prices ; 3,000 tons have to-day been sold at 90s. nett cash. The trade have been surprised at several extensive Liverpool firms becoming purchasers at 90s. nett, some of whom had lately been sellers at 60s. to 70s. These transactions are nowlooked on as done with aview to " bear" the market. We quote the price at 905., with an upward . tendency.—Glasgow National. THE WEATHER.—During the last few days we have had a foretaste of winter. From Saturday night till Monday morning we experienced a succession of ,stormy blasts from the south-west, accompanied by hail showers of unwonted severity, which rendered it unsafe for any one to be out of doors during their prevalence. Such was the vio lence of the storm that it sent the hail against the windows in exposed situations with a force that threatened to demo lish every pane of glass. In the upper districts of the county, where unfortunately the greater part of the grain is still out, the stooks were laid totally prostrate, and the uncut crop has suffered considerably from the deluge of rain that fell. This backward turn of the weather, it is to be feared, may endanger the safety of many parcels of crop in late lying places. The storm, we perceive, has been extensive in its range. Last night the gale returned with unabated fury, and to-day is cold and wet.—Ayr Observer. FOREIGN FRUIT, CATTLE, &C.—The General Steam Navigation Company's ship Countess of Lonsdale, which arrived from Hamburgh within this day or two, brought, in addition to 21 oxen in good condition, 765 sieves of plums, 65& sieves of the same, and 110 baskets of other descriptions of fruit, and a large quantity of seeds, plants, and other produce. The Sir Edward Banks also brought 18 cases of live poultry, a large quantity of eggs, &c. The same Company's ship Soho, from Antwerp on Monday, brought the large number of considerably more than 2,000 packages of ripe walnuts, a large quantity of ripe pears, &c. The Columbine, from Rotterdam, which arrived at the Brunswick Wharf, Blackwall, on the same day, brought 5 oxen, 19 cows, the large number of 240 sheep, a large quan tity of yeast, cheese, and a variety of every description of Dutch produce. Neither this vessel nor the Company's ship James Watt, which arrived at the St. Katharine's Wharf on the same day, from Havre, brought any fruit of either description; so that it would appear that the importations of ripe fruit, consisting of plums, pears, &c., from Holland and France, have, in a great measure, ceased for the season. The fruit from these places was the first in the markets, and now they"give place to Hamburgh, from which a later crop of ripe fruit is now arriving, and Belgium, which is very pro lific in the produce of walnuts—a scarcity elsewhere—and froni which country large quantities, as will be seen, arrive, which are of excellent quality, and completely supply our markets with the article. We understand that the crop of English walnuts this year is generally bad, in consequence of the great quantity of humid and wet weather which has been so prevalent, and that the samples of this nut of home growth, which are generally considered very superior to, are this year completely beaten by, those brought from Belgium and other parts of the Continent. Our walnut season should now be at its height, whereas there has as yet scarcely any been seen in the markets or elsewhere. The walnuts brought from abroad are imported in the husk—for which an allow ance is made by the revenue officers at the time of landing, by mutual agreement or experiment, ,according to the wish MOST IMPORTANT TO BILLIARD TABLE KEEPERS. —TheGaines and Wagersßill has passed in such aform, that all billiard table-keepers, not licensed victuallers, and resi dent elsewhere than in Middlesex and Surrey, will be obliged to shut up their rooms after the 10th of October instant until October 1846, or until Parliament in its wisdom, can pass a short Act to releive them. By the 15th section, billiard table-keepers are to apply for licenses in a similar manner, and give similar notice to licensed victuallers; but, owing to the measure not having become law till some time after these notices ought to have been given, it is impossible for them to comply, except in the counties of Middlesex and Surrey, where the licensing day occurs in April instead of August. By the 11 th section, the Act is to come into ope ration as to all, except those resident in th , counties of Mid - dlesex and Surrey, on the 10th of October; and each billiard table-keeper will be liable to a penalty of ten pounds a day for keeping his table open without a license. This is a great piece of injustice, inflicted by cramming the work o fSiti months' legislation into as many da y s, and the only mode _ billiard table-keepers in the c o untr y can adopt to save them selves, will be to make arrangements with a licensed Vle-s W allets and re move the table to e a licensed inn.

Desertion. We regret to hear that several men belong ing to the 33d Regiment, lying at this place, have lately deserted. Some of them have been taken and brought back, while others have escaped. These men have received bounty, and have been clothed, fed, and brought hither at the ex pense of the British Government, to which they have sworn allegiance; it is very wrong for them to desert, and especially galling to all British subjects, as most of those who get off immediately enlist in the American service, and would, in the event of a war with that country, fight against us. It is, therefore, clearly the duty of every inhabitant of New Bruns wick to assist the military authorities in recapturing these misguided men, and in returning them to head-quarters. — Fredericton Loyalist. 35th (Royal Sussex) Regiment, Depot, Charles Fort, Kin sale—A recruiting party is ordered to march for Cork, there to embark per steam-vessel for London, to be stationed.

How the quarrel began it is difficult to ascertain, but it soon became general, and a severe skrimmage was the consequence. The soldiers of the 71st, with the exception of a small piquet on duty, were without their side arms, or very bloody would have been the conse quence. A few only of the 82d were present ; they had no side arms. Seeing the row, such of the officers as had not left the course, among whom was Mr. Hamilton, the adjutant, immediately interfered, and with some difficulty got the men off the ground into the public road, and were marching them homewards, when the populaee followed and pelted them with stones. Mr. Hamilton was severely hurt, and obliged to be taken tp a neighbouring house. Seeing their officer thus treated the soldiers rushed back to the ground, and a much severer engagement commenced, which continued for a long while, in spite of all endeavours to stop it. It lasted until Major Denny sent out a detachment of the 71st Regiment under arms, who restored order, brought away the wounded men, and made many prisoners, who, at the time we are writing, are in custody at the Court house, waiting an examination. The number of men hurt on both sides is said to be large, but none are killed. The above hastily-written sketch is probably incorrect in many particulars, but it is the best we can furnish.—Mont real paper. 88th (Connaught Rangers) Depot, Boyle—Ensign Gore is ordered to hold himself in readiness to embark with the draft of 1 captain, 1 sergeant, and 60 rank and file. and 6 boys, now on the line of march to Dublin, where they will arrive, October 8, to embark per steam-vessel for Cork.

THE WAR OF THE STREETS.—A sort of civil war has lately been raging with tremendous violence be tween the paviours and the populace. The great scene of contention has been Fleet-street, which ought in future to be called Therrnopylw, for never was that famous pass more stoutly defended than the thoroughfare between Temple-bar and Ludgate-hill, within the 1 ast fortnight. The paviours took possession of the ground unexpectedly in the course of a single night, and by the next day they had thrown up strong fortifications of bricks, behind which they stubbornly resisted the approach of the enemy. The populace were soon on the spot with their heavy luggage omnibuses, with which an attempt was made to force a passage; but the paviours had taken their measures so effectually, that Fleet-street was utterly impassable. Baffled in this attempt, the populace turned their horses' beads up Fetter-lane ; and some made an effort to penetrate into the City by cutting across•the heights of Holborn ; but here, again, they met with the most obsti nate resistance from the paviour party, who had contrived to gain possession of all the principle metropolitan passes at the same moment. Some of the unfortunate victims hoping to make good their retreat, fell back towards the west, in tending to escape along Piccadilly; but even here the paviours were found to have made themselves masters of the passage, which they barred against every one. In this dilemma the populace, finding the City in the hands of the paviours, had no other course than to surrender at discretion. We have not heard what has been the result of the conflict, but from the number of horses we saw down, and vehicles overturned, it is certain that an enormous loss has been sus , tained by the populace.—Punch. SUICIDE.—On Tuesday, as two young women were passing along a field near Haverstock-hill, Hampstead, they discovered in a corner thereof a man, to all appearance dead, lying upon the grass. "They communicated the fact shortly afterwards to a gentleman whom they met, and on his "repairing to the spot he found the dead body, still warm, of a person apparently .not more than twenty-five or thirty years of age. A quantity of blood had flowed from his mouth, and in each hand was a brass-barrelled pistol, one of which had evidently been recently discharged, and the other was loaded with powder and ball. Some constables of the S division speedily arrived and removed the deceased on a stretcher, to the Load of Hay public-house. He was dressed in a blue jacket, blue cap, striped waistcoat, and dark trousers, and in his pockets were a few silver and copper French coins, of but trifling value. There were no papers upon him by which any information could be gained with regard to his name or address. He had moustachios and very large whiskers, and it is supposed that he is a Frenchman. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CROYDON ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY LINE.—On Monday evening Mr. Payne, the Coroner, held an inquest at the Board-room of Guy's Hospital, on the body of Charles Hill, aged 36, who met his death from injuries which he had received from one of the waggon trains passing over his legs while employed as a labourer on the London and Croydon Atmospheric line now in the course of formation. Mr. John Braxton, the house surgeon, deposed that the deceased was brought in between twelve and one o'clock on Monday night. He saw him the instant lie was admitted. The deceased was suffering severely from a compound fracture of the right ankle and foot. He was suffering severely from collapse ; stimulants were administered, and he rallied a little. About two o'clock Mr. B. Cooper was sent for, who took off the left leg below the knee, and a portion of the right foot. After this the deceased became very weak, and he died about nine o'clock in the morning. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. EXTRAORDINARY TREATMENT OF A DEAF/ BODY. —An inquest was held on Wednesday, before C. J. Carttar, Esq., at the Eight Bells, Church-street, Greenwich, on the body of Edward Redcliff, seaman on board the Thomas, Captain Brewer, of Bideford, who was accidentally drowned by falling off the foregaff, in Bugsby's Hole, on Friday, the 19th ult. The only feature of importance in this case was the evidence of Police sergeant George Lessor, 22 R, who deposed that on Saturday evening last, his attention was called to the body of the deceased, which was fastened to a pile in the river in Bugsby's Hole, by a cord fastened round his neck. There was' 'a strong flood tide at the time, and had he not got the half on shore, in a short period the head would, from the force of the tide, have been separated from the trunk. • Witness had heard that the body had been first discovered by some person connected with the Harbour master's Office, who had fastened it to the pile and there left it. Evidence was then given as to the cause of the accident, when the jury returned 4 verdict of " Accidentally drowned." MELANCHOLY EyjsmT.—The following fatal acci dent occurred on Tuesday last near the village of Failford, whereby a much respected individual has been deprived of life. Mr. Robert Welsh, gardener and overseer to the Mar quis of Bute, at Dumfries House, in company with Mr. Bryce Martin, Knockterra, having left home in a gig for the pur pose of visiting some friends, were on their return about eight o'clock in the evening, and were proceeding to call upon Mr. Hunter, farmer in Coilsholm. When about to enter the road leading to the farm, the horse, which•was going at a smart pace, took the turn too narrowly, and the gig coming in con tact with some obstacle, both gentlemen were suddenly thrown out of the vehicle. Mr. Bryce soon recovered from the effects of his fall; but Mr. Welsh was instantaneously killed, having, it is supposed , been pitched upo n his head, which caused a dislocation of the neck.—Ayr Observer. The day before yesterday, a young man, dressed like a workman, jumped into the basin of the garden of the Palais Royal, crying out that he wanted to bathe.

This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing through or contiguous to the towns of Steyning, Petworth, Mid hurst, Petersfield and Alresford) will join at the Andover Road sta tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed Southampton Manchester and Oxford Junction. An arrangement has been entered into with the latter Company, and it is proposed by means of their projected line, that the Brighton and Cheltenham Railway shall proceed through Hunger ford to Swindon. From Petersfield a short branch will be made to Chichester where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports mouth direct will intersect the line in its way to Portsmouth. From Swindon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and Southampton Railway to Cheltenham, and the North of England by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Junction, or other existing and contemplated lines. On reference to the map, it will be seen that the primary object to be obtained by the formation of this line will be the immediate connexion of the northern, western, and the whole of the manufac turing counties, and North and South Wales, with the southern coast and the populous and fashionable towns of Brighton, Hastings, and Dover. It is unnecessary to observe on the daily increasing traffic between Brighton and Dieppe, which the railroad from the latter place to Rouen, and thence to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means of the projected line, a direct communication with France, either from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern counties of England. It is obvious that with these advantages the traffic must neces sarily be large, the line passing through the centre of Sussex, con taining a population of about 300,000, at present almost devoid of railway accommodation. Power will Ue applied for in the Act to increase the capital, f necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches therefrom as maybe deemed necessary ; also for the purposes of amal gamation with other Companies, should the same be found desirable. The Company reserves to itself the option of adopting the broad or narrow gauge, or the principle of atmospheric traction, if preferable. No further call beyond the deposit will be made until the Act shall be obtained. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties locally interested, and to the shareholders in the lines with which this Company will be connected. Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and to the following Sharebrokers, of whom prospectuses, with maps of the line, may be obtained:—London—Messrs.

Thursday, at three o'clock, Mr. Mills, Deputy Coroner for West Middlesex, held a protracted inquest at the Coach and Horses, Air-street, Hatton-garden, on the body of William Hill, aged six months. Elizabeth Hill, a very young woman, mother of deceased, examined—My husband is a glass cutter, and we reside at No. 26, in this street. About eleven o'clock on Saturday night last I left the baby well and hearty in bed, and went into Leather-lane to buy it some milk. It was then fast asleep. I returned in 15 minutes, and found it dead in bed. The child was not born in wedlock, and my present husband is not the father of it. It was born at my mother's, No. 15, Somers-street, over the way. There was no one in the room when I found the child dead. I had not left it a quarter of an hour altogether. When I went out for the milk I left my husband in the room quite sober, and stand ing with his back to the fire. As I was going out I asked him . to go on an errand to my mother's, in Somers-street, and he said he would. When I came back he was gone When I took the child from the bed it made a strange noise in the throat once and then died. On passing my band over its head, it had no cap on; I found on the left side, behind and above the ear, a bump as big as the half of a good-sized egg, and a spot of dry blood on the cheek. 1 could see it was a bump from a hit. There was another red dish Lump at the back of the head, not so large as the other. My husband was the first person to come into the room, almost directly after me. I said to him, " Baby is dead; it has been killed some how or other—run and fetch mother." He replied, "Is it quite dead ?" I answered, " Yes, for some minutes." He went and fetched Catherine Shepherd from my mother's (my mother not being at home), and he said he had been to fetch Mr. Mullins, surgeon, of Leather-lane, but that he was not at home. He went out again and fetched a doctor (the summoning officer said it was a non-medical man) from Hatton-wall, wbo merely looked at the child, and said that it had died of inflammation of the chest, and that the bumps on the head were the result of convulsions. When the doctor was gone, I said to my husband, "If you have done it, tell me." He said, " I have not touched the child." I afterwards said, in the presence of witnesses, "You wicked wretch, you have killed the baby. This is the night you have long wished for." He made no answer. The CORONER here inquired where the husband was? and having been told that he was below stairs, sent for him, in order that he might hear the evidence, which now assumed a criminatory character. The accused husband then came into the jury -room, and took a seat. He is a mere youth, of small stature, of -pert rather than repulsive aspect. The inquiry did not appear to affect him in the least. Witness (in continuation)—Mv mother laid out the child, and the next morning (Sunday) I went to an undertaker's about a coffin. I then told my husband that I was sure he had killed the baby, when.he replied, " that it was no use to say anything to me about it, and to have my own way." I asked him on Monday morning to . go to work to get the baby under ground. He said he would not,.and that he did not care how it got under ground. My mother also begged him to go to work, when he said "he would never touch a tool again—that he would go for a soldier." I said, "If you had mot killed the child, you would go to work." He an swered, " It I am born to be hanged, I shan't be drowned." By the CORONER—He did go to my mother's when I asked him on Saturday night, but did not find her at home. The child was ill from its birth until within the last fortnight, when it grew better. It was in very good health on Friday and Saturday last. When I left the child on Saturday night, I placed it in the centre of the bed, with its head on the pil low. When I came back and found it dead, its head was off the pillow, hanging forward, but the rest of the body was in the position I had placed it in. The counterpane was dis turbed, and the top part of the bed clothes looked as if some one had moved them, but not much. I saw that some one had laid their hands down on the clothes. I can swear posi tively that there were no bumps on the child's head when I placed it in the bed. The ConoxErt—What did you mean by saving to your husband, " The night you wished for is come?" Witness — Because he frequently ill-used and threatened the child. About a month ago, in the middle of the night, the child being ill and crying at the time, lie said if I did not keep it still he would dash its brains about. I told him I could not help its crying, and that if he hit it, I should hit him. He then struck at the baby, but hit me, and I had a struggle with him to prevent him hitting the child. He bit me on the side of the head and rose up a great lump. He fre quently ill-used me as well as the baby. Cross-examination in chief resumed—About two months ago, during the night, lie got out of bed, and thinking I was asleep, he put his hands near me, and pinched a piece out of the calf of the baby's right leg. The wound did not heal until last week. I took the child to Mr. Mullins, surgeon, who ordered me to poulticethe wound, and asked how I could live with such a vagabond. I also went to complain of my husband toClerkenwell Police-court, but they told me I must get a warrant, which I could not do for want of money. After he had pinched the child I said to him, "How could you hurt the poor child so, how could you be so brutish ?" He answered, " Before I do anything better to it, I will do something worse very likely." The husband, in an irritated tone of voice—Be cautious what you say. A juror—Be silent, sir, she is on her oath. The ConoNEß—By and by you may ask her any questions, but you must not interrupt her now. The witness in continuation—After he knew that I had been at the police-court, he said if I would look over it he would never ill-use me or the baby more. I did look over it, and in a week afterwards he came home and ill-used me dreadfully, and told a woman named Mary Foles and a man named Snilling that he had often beaten the child, and would some day hit it on the head. He has often said to me be would do for it (the child) some day or other. When I mar ried him, five weeks after the birth of the child, he knew all about it, and my mother said to him previously, " Consider, there is a child in the way." He said, "Never mind, I will treat it as my own." A month after our marriage be gave the child a black eye, and in a fortnight after that he began to threaten it. He once hit the child in -the stomach whilst 'it was lying on the floor, and it was-very sick for two or three days afterwards. I have nothing more to say. The CORONER (addressing the accused)—Your name is William Hill, and I sent for you as soon as the witness began to state anything legally implicating you. Do you wish me to ask her any questions? The husband—Yes, sir. Ask her when she took the child to the doctor's last ? The wife—Three weeks ago last Monday. The child was then very ill and would not eat. Mr. Mullins's assistant told me it was teething, and gave me a bottle of stuff which did the child a great deal of good, and it was well ever since. The husband maintained it was only a fortnight since, and put several questions not at all referring to the occurrence of Saturday night. The CORONER—Have you any statementao make, for I am bound to tell you that I cannot part with you? The accused —.I hope I shall be allowed to hear all the witnesses, and get a copy of the depositions. The ConoNEn—You shall hear all the witnesses. The de positions are not yet completed. Police-constable Daniel Humphreys, 74 G, was called in and charged with the safe custody of the prisoner. Mr. Benson Whitfield, surgeon, of 64, Lamb's Conduit street, examined—l have opened the body, and apart from what I saw on and in the head, I found nothing material. There was a healed wound on the right leg. Behind the left ear, externally, I observed a blue mark on the scalp, with a swelling upwards towards the vertex.. There was no a brasion of th skin, and the swelling was caused a short time before death. The body appeared that of a healthy subject. In the head, internally; I found congested blood between the occipital and frontal muscles and pericranium. The parietal bone was fractured to the extent of four inches, opposite to and beneath the external wound. The fracture ' was a jagged one, and the dura mater was separated from the skull. When I opened the dura mater one ounce of blood flowed from the pericranium. There was congested blood near the brain. There was no other morbid appearances in , the head. All the organs of the body , excepting t he left lun g , I were healthy. The condition of the lung had no material effect on the child's health. The injuries to the head, not re sults from natural causes, produced death. By the CORONER—The fracture of the skull was the result of violence—of a blow. All the injuries were simultaneously inflicted'by some hard substance. Nothing but a blow or a fall from a great height could have caused them, I never knew such injuries caused by a slight fall. One severe blow would have caused them. Sarah Swantoon, maternal grandmother of deceased, said she was with her daughter about eleven o'clock on Saturday night last, and left her near her home. Witness went about her own aftairs, and did not return to her own home for half an hour, when she was told of deceased's death, and went to see the moth,er. She found two other women with her. The husband came in soon afterwards, and appeared much agi tated, and asked if the child was dead. The witness then corroborated the evidence of the mother of the child relative to the threats and cruelty of her husband towards it, and his constantly expressing a wish that it was dead. Chatherine Shephard said she was called in to see the dead child, and found the mother greatly distressed. She saw the lumps on the child's head, and accused the prisoner of being the murderer. He made no answer. A week before the child's death she heard the accused wash " the little (horrible epithet) was dead." He wished so more than once. The mother was kind to deceased. By the prisoner—When you spoke about the infant you were out of temper. I never saw you ill-use it. Mary Foll, of 15, Somers-street, said she saw the child in its mother's arms, in a pawnbroker's shop, half an hour before its death. It was then awake, and looked remarkably well. On Monday week the accused used expressions against the child too gross to repeat. He frequently wished the child was dead, and said that at night lie used to stretch his aural over his wife and strike the child on the head. Mr. Whitfield, the surgeon, re-examined The child's death might have been instantaneous. It might have lived half an hour after the reception of the injuries describetda. man Theprisoner here said that a person told bitl Hurley had said namedthe it had not died before.

He did not consider the falls serious. He did not see the child fall on Saturday last, but he saw it in. the girl's arms, who was rubbing its head, whilst it was crying as if from pain in the head. The jury finally, without more than a moment's delibera tion, returned a verdict of "Wilful murder against William Hill." M.
