LONDON AND CROYDON (ENLARGEMENT) RAILWAY BILL. The Committee on this Bill met at twelve o'clock in No. in the House of Lords, the Earl of Shaftesbury in the chair. The Bill was unopposed, and passed through Committee. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP X. suErriELn AND LINCOLNSHIRE LINE. This Committee resumed to-day at the accustomed hour, Viscount Courtenay in the chair. Previous to proceeding to the ordinary business of the day, Mr. TALBOT, Q. C., made an application to the Committee to postpone the consideration of the Wakefield Branch of the Lon don and York till next session. That scheme was opposed by the promoters of the Swinton and Lincoln line, with which it clearly competed, and it would entail an enormous and useless ex pense to keep witnesses, day after day, to give evidence on a sub ..

BRIDGENORTH RACES.—TitunsnA.T. ject which could not be considered for some time. He, therefore, asked that a specific resolution should be come to by the Committee, postponing the case in question, a course which must necessarily be adopted, or at any rate rendered advisable from the fact that even if reported on, the schemes must remain in abeyance till next ses. Mr. PAGET replied that the promoters of the London and York line were very anxious that no delay should take place in the prosecution of their case, and he therefore urged the Committee not to accede to an application which might eventually be proved not only unnecessary, but prejudicial. The CHAIRMAN, after consulting with his colleagues on the Corn. mittee, observed that no resolution cou'd be effected, either for or against the application, antil Mr. Sergeant Wranghain (who was then absent) had had an opportunity of hearing and expressing his opinion upon it. The Committee then proceeded with the hearing of evidence adduced by Mr. Talbot, to prove the injury the Sheffield and Lin colnshire line would eLtail on the property of Mr. Foljambe and Mr. Hutchinson. Lord Galway, Mr. Beaumont, and Mr. Mills, stated their opinion of its injury to the property of the former, and a Mr. Corringham, to its injury to that of the latter. This having closed the case for the promoters of the Bill, Mr. Hughes, civil engineer, was then examined by Mr. PAGET to substantiate the rebutting case to the Sheffield and Lincolnshire line. He had personally surveyed the line both of the Bawtry branch and the Lincolnshire line, and considers that the cost of the The Maiden Stakes of 5 :sovs. each, and 20 added, the second saves his stake, mile and a- half, 6 Subs, were won in two heats by Mr. Davies's Princess Royal, 3 yrs, 7st 41b (W.

But if taken in the same proportion as that adopted by Mr. Fowler, the entire cost would be 676,8991. and the quan tity of earth cutting 3,193,000 cubic yards. Mr. Cubitt deposed to the survey and estimates of the Bawtry Branch having been made by Mr. Hughes on precisely the same principle as that adopted on the Londun and York, and he attested their accuracy in every particular. This having closed the rebutting case of the London and York, Mr. BAirsas, Q.C., addressed the Committee on behalf of the promoters, and summed up the evidence adduced in the course of the consideration of the case. The Sheffield and Manchester line had some years since been constructed under difficul ties of a most unusual, if not discouraging, charac- The Gold Cup Stakes of 10 sovs. each, one mile and a half and a distance (2 Subs), were won by Mr. Theobald's Desperation, 3 yrs, 7st, beating Mr. Coleman's Devil-among the-Tailors, aged, 9st 21b.

THURSDAY. ter ; and as the line for which he now sought the approving vote of the Committee was not only sanc tioned but virtually promoted by this Company, which, struggling against and overcoming these preliminary obstacles—once on the brink of insolvency, and now one of the most flourishing under. takings in the country—he regarded that as a most important fea- ture in the project and eminently calculated to ensure its success. In the first place, let them look at the accommodation this line will afford in every direction. If they regarded it as a means of forming a southern communication with Sheffield, they would find that by a junction with the Midland Railway, it would pass through Derby, Lincoln, and Nottingham, to London, and effecting by this course a saving of 41 miles over the present route. But taking the distance on the Midland Rail way, this Company as compared with the latter, effected even a greater saving. By the proposed Lincoln line, the distance to the metropolis would be 1604 miles, while by the Midland it was 177. Thus it would be no less than 17 miles shorter than that railway. But not only would Sheffield be thus benefited by a line through such important towns—Huddersfield, so celebrated for its exten sive trade in wool, would be most advantageously accommodated with a speedy means of conveying its manufactures to a beneficial market, either for home consumption or an outlet for exportation. A good deal had been said of the Chesterfield line, and the accommodation it afforded as between Sheffield and London, but the distance by it was 169 miles, while by the Sheffield and Lincoln it would be, as he before stated, 1601. With respect to the article of coal, about which so much had been said in the course of the protracted proceedings, Mr. Jeff cock, a coal owner and valuer, of Sheffield, whose evidence had been unimpeached, and, therefore, it was to be inferred, indisput. able, had proved that, for a distanceof 27 miles out of Sheffield, taking a mile on each side of the proposed Sheffield and Lincoln shire line, and reckoning to the depth of 150 yards, there were coals sufficient to yield 41,845,275 tons, while, for the same dis. tance, proportionably, on the Bawtry branch there were only 6,223,425 tons, or nearly seven times as much was on the former as on the latter line. Again there was another kind of coal ex. isting in that neighbourhood required for converting iron into steel. Along the line he represented, there were no less than 9,323,000 tons of this class of coal, while on the Bawtry branch there were only 453,000 tons, or about one- twentieth part; and it was proved that whereas the price of this coal at Sheffield was now 95. 2da ton, bylthe constiuction of that now under conside ration, it was rt duced to 7s. 3d. It being now four o'clock, and the Chairman having intimated that the Committee were unable to sit longer, the Learned Counsel deferred the conclusion of his address till twelve o'clock on Monday. The Town and Country Gentlemen's Plate of 501., was won in two heats by Mr. Stephenson's f by Jerry, out of Pastille, 3 yrs, 7st, beating Devil-among-the-tailors, 6 yrs, 9st 21b. The Railway (Handicap) Plate of 30/., added to a Sweep stakes of 2 sous. each, was won in two heats by Mr. Stephen son's b f by Jerry, 7st 41b, beating Negus Portsoken, Bst 71b ; Devil-among-the-tailors, 9st 51b ; and Helter Skelter, Bst 91b. The Tally- ho Stakes were won by Mr. Oswald's Tiger, beating Kate Kearney and three others. CRICKET. THE 2D REGIMENT OF LIFE GUARDS V. THE 2D BATTALION OF COLDSTREAM GUARDS.—This match was played on Thurs day last,in the square of the Cavalry Barracks, Windsor, in the presence of the greater part of both regiments, each party being much interested as to the result. The following is the score : It was said that the tedious and protracted labours of both Houses on Railway Bills would, with the exception of one or two formal matters, be brought to a close this day. Three Com mittees sat to-day, but there was no stir or bustle—the lawyers looked fagged, and so did their Lordships. In the House of Corn. mons it was with difficulty a House could be made; and in the Lords it was a " beggarly account of empty benches." No stran ger passing outside the Houses could have supposed that the " great inquest of the nation" was being holden within ; in short, as Jonathan says, " there was nothing stirring but stagnation."

The Average Price of Brown or Muscovado Sagar, for the week ending July 29, 1845, is 31s. 24d. per cwt., exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable thereat on the im portatiou thereof into Great Britain. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) The cases to-day were principally unopposed insolvents. The only point of interest was on the petition of an officer of the army. The insolvent proposed to set aside 70/. a year out of his pay, and to give an order on the paymaster of his regiment, under orders for foreign service. The COURT asked him what security he could give, and whether the paymaster, being at home or abroad, would be bound to hand over the amount upon such an order ? The insolvent said the paymaster would not object; and if he, the insolvent, broke his agreement, he would be liable to be tried by court-martial and cashiered for acting in a manner unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. The undertaking was accepted, and the insolvent obtained his final order. INSOLVENT couRT—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner NrcuotAs.) IN RE DEARELOVE. Mr. COOKE said that there were several witnesses in this case which it was very desirable should be heard before Mr. Commissioner Harris, and ha bad therefore to apply for the case to stand over till Tue.day. A gentleman who was in attendance said that it was a very hard case upon him ; he had been in waiting four or five days to be examined, and he was willing now to he examined, but he could not attend any more. The Learned COMMISSIONER admitted that it was a hard case, and said he should not insist. Mr. COOK said, if the gentleman left his papers, that, per haps, would be sufficient. IN RE WOLTON. This insolvent carried on business as a cabinet-maker, in Judd -street, New-road. He had only been in business from November, 1844, to March, 1845, and during that time had contracted debts to the amount of 1,1451., for which he had received consideration, except to the amount of 851. He was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on behalf of many creditors, and gave his evidence with great nonchalence, answering the questions laconically, and the same questions affirmatively, negatively, po sitively, and doubtfully. The Learned COMMISSIONER. asked the insolvent whether he was aware that the law required him to answer the questions for the benefit of the creditors?—The insolvent said he was not. The COMMISSIONER said that unless he answered in a be coming manner he would be sent back to college to study the law. The insolvent, however, scarcely altered his tone. He said he believed he knew a Mrs. Ensor, of Lordship-lane, Tottenham. She was a creditor for 6001. She went to his house when he was out, and took furniture worth 1001. He had informed the police. She might have gone by the name of Wolton. They lived together for two years. He was " a little advanced in liquor," and had stayed out all night, and did not ask any questions about the furniture. A stranger told him. That stranger was Mrs. Ensor, who told him next day that she had taken the goods, as she would not be played with any longer. The ex amination was continued at great length, but no satisfactory account could be elicited as to the disposal of his property. The case was likely to occupy several hours. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Jo'n Daniels, a young man of very respectable connexions, and who has for the last seven t.r eight years been a clerk in the employ of Messrs. Dalmaine and Co., 'of Soho-square, music publishers, was placed at the bar charged with attempting to pick pockets. George Anderson, police-constable No. 35, of the C division, stated that about five o'clock esterday afternoon, he saw the prisoner following three ladies, walking arm-in-arm, up Re gent-street, towards Oxford-street, from Piccadilly. The prisoner looked back several times, to observe if he was watched. Witness was in plain clothes. He followed him up as closely as he could. At the Circus in Oxford-street the ladies were prevented from crossing by some omnibuses pass ing. The prisoner then went up to the middle one, and put his hand round her to her right-hand pocket. He, however, did not take anything out, as the ladies moved on at the in stant, and he then walked back down Regent-street, as far as Argyll-place, when he went up to two ladies who were looking in at a shop-window, and attempted the pockets of one of them in the same way. He afterwards followed two other ladies, and witness saw him lift up one of their gowns, on which he took him into custody. The prisoner resisted, and used very violent acid foul language, and attempted to get away. The prisoner, in answer to the accusation against him, said that nearly the whole of the statement of the pollee-constable was a fabrication. It was true that he was passing up Regent street when the constable stopped him, but that he had not attempted to pick any person's pocket, or had he ever turned back as the constable stated. He resisted the constable, be-- cause, as he was in Alai❑ clothes, he did not suppose he had any authority to arrest him. Mr. MALTBY asked the constable if he could be mistaken as to the acts of the prisoner as he had described? The constable said certainly not. The prisoner said his situation in life showed that such an accusation against him was preposterous. Wilks, the gaoler, and other officers of the court, said they had known the prisoner as a man of unblemished character for many years. A host of the prisoner's friends were in court to testify to the same effect. Mr. MALTBY said he should send the case for further inves tigation before a jury. The prisoner was accordingly committed to take his trial for the misdemeanour of attempting to pick pockets. Bail was afterwards offered and accepted for his appearance. FOREIGN POTATOES.—A cargo of potatoes from the Azores or Western Islands, consigned to Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, of Monument yard, was yesterday publicly exhibited. This is the first importation which has taken place under the new tariff, the Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean have concluded anust , duty being reduced to 2d. per cwt.

ETON V. HAnnow.—The students at these two public schools met in battle array yesterday, at Lord's, and com menced their match in the presence of a large list of fashion- ables ; indeed, at one period of the afternoon the carriages extended two and three deep, from the pavilion nearly to the gate, independent of the numerous attendance of ladies and noblemen and gentlemen, who were on horseback and in phaetons. The scene was altogether extremely gay and bril liant. The match is not yet ended. SUSSEX V. KENT.—The return match of cricket between these two celebrated counties was commenced on Thursday, at Tunbridge Wells, in the presence of a large number of spectators. The batting of Messrs. Barton, King (this gen tleman has only lately played in the Sussex eleven), and Hammond, was beautiful, and was repeatedly applauded. At the close of the day the game stood as follows : SUSSES.-FIRST INNINGS. C. Taylor, Esq., cby Felix 5 Dean, run out E.

The distance was, as usual, from the Swan at London-bridge to the Swan at Chelsea, against tide, and the following were the competi tors :—Joseph Cobb, Greenwich ; Edward Gellett, Green wich; George White, Custom-house; Robert W. Thorn dyke, Surrey Canal; Matthew Weed, Bankside ; 11. Pratt, Waterloo-bridge. The men appeared at their sta tions in wager wherries, a very humane improvement upon the old-fashioned principle, at about half ebb. Pratt had the inside station, and the others thus—Weed, Gellett, Cobb, Thorndyke, and then White outside. After two false starts the men went away beautifully together, and after a few strokes Gellett took the lead, followed by Cobb, the others forming a level group, and ploughing hard through the " nobby" water caused by the steamers for the third place. The two leadin g men kept hugging the shore in the position we have described them, Cobb evidently reserving himself for a great effort, until they commenced shooting the water as they neared Westminster-bridge, where, a fair opportunity presenting itself by spurting for taking the lead, both men went to work in the most gallant style to see who should reach the opposite shore in advance, Gellett had passed through one of the arches in the heavy tide-way, but his opponent courted the eddy, and dragged his boat as they neared the point in advance of his opponent. Gellett was not so soon shook off, but rowed up to his sculls repeatedly, trying to pass him on either side, but Cobb's manoeuvring stopped him. t Whilst this was going on with the leading pair, a not less desperate conflict was taking place for third, fourth, and fifth, amongst White, Thorndyke, and Pratt. They were beautifully matched throughout, and it was a matter of considerable speculation who would get the third prize. At Blackfriars bridge White and Thorndyke fouled. White in the shoal near Westminster went into the second place, but both the latter had considerable difliculty in shaking off Pratt, who was said to be so water-logged that, despite his exertions, it would have been useless to have continued the race. Cobb rowed right up the reach with Gellett upon his quarter, and won by his oars' length only, and in two minutes afterwards the third and fourth men appeared in a precisely similar posit ion. THE WESTMINSTER SCULLS. The race for the Silver Challenge Sculls, presented to the Westminster scholars, came off on Thursday, and had the public been acquainted with the fact, we have no doubt, from the celebrity of these students as rowers, it would have been most numerously attended. The race was from Vauxhall to Putney— Mr. Goodenough Mr. Green Messrs. Milman, West, and Rich also started. It was a most splendid race throughout. They all went away to gether, and Green then took the lead, and held it up to near Battersea-bridge, when the winner came up, and each tried his utmost; the result of which was, that Goodenough ob tained the lead and held it. Milman and Green had a des perate and long-continued contest for second place, in which it was difficult to say who exhibited the most game. THE BITER BIT.—On Monday morning last, a well-dressed man went into a jeweller's shop in the west end of the town, when the place had just been opened by the boy, and pur chased a trifling article, for payment of which he tendered at the time a one-pound note. As the boy had no change at the time, he (the boy) went into the next shop for it, during which time the pur chaser had managed to secrete a box containing jewellery, which being observed by the boy, the latter immediately challenged him for it, when the "swell" took to his legs, and effected his escape. On examining the premises, the master of the shop found that a small box containing brass penny rings was missing, for which the pound left in the boy's hand was ample payment. No doubt the thief was congratulating himself on the richness of his prize, the brass rings being mistaken by him for the genuine gold.—Glasgow Argus. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WIE CI RC Ul T.—Croydon, August I, The commission for the county of Surrey was opened yesterday by Lord Chief Justice Tindal, and both Courts this morning prod eded to business, the Chief Justice presiding on the Civil side, and Mr. Justice Coleridge in the Crown Court. The calendar of priseners is very light, but on the civil side 106 causes are entered, twelve of which are sp , cial jury cases, and it is not expected that the list will be got through in less than a fortnight. CROWN COURT. Mr. Justice CoLEmocr, in his charge to the grand *ury, congratulated them upon the lightness of the ca lendar, and at the same time observed, that ❑one of the cases, so far as he was able to ascertain the fact from those depositions that had been returned, involved any difficulty or point of law. He made the reservation with regard to the depositions that had been returned, because it appeared that, in a great many:cases, the depositions had not been sent by the committing magis trates. This neglect was likely to lead to very great inconvenience, because, in the first place, it was the means of preventing the judge, on wry particular case, from explaining the law, as applying to it, to the grand jury, and it also tended to encumber the judge in the performance of his duty, by preventing him :from making himself acquainted with all the facts of the cases likely to come before him. He did not wish to be understood as speak ing offensively, but it should be understood that it was the duty of the committing magistrates to return the de positions on the day the judge came into the county to open the Commission, and the magistrate who neglected to do so was liable to be fined, lie wished, however, that :so unp'easant a duty would not be cast upon the Court, but that in future the depositions would be re turned earlier. Maria Hancock was indicted for stealing a watch, the property of a young man, named Barthropp. The charge was clearly made out, and the jury re turned a verdict of Guilty. She was sentefickd to twelve months' imprisonment. In this case there was certainly no ground for com plaint of the law's delay, as it appeared that the rob bery was committed on Thursday evening ; the prisoner was sent for trial yesterday morning, the grand jury found the bill, and she was tried and sentenced, all within twenty-four hours. The business in the Civil side was devoid of interest. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Derby, July 31. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice Rau LE. ) Edward Pipes, a respectable tradesman in Derby, pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter. Mr. MILLER, for the prosecution, on the prisoner withdraw.. ing his plea of not guilty, shortly, but almost inaudibly, ad dressed the Learned Judge, expressing, as we understood, a wish, on the part of the prosecution, that he should be dealt with as leniently as was consistent with the ends of justice. Mr. IVnimituasT, Queen's Counsel, said he appeared on behalf of the unfortunate man at the bar. It appeeared that the prisoner, going down a steep hill in a gig, and he went cer tainly at a very rapid rate, ran over a child, the dealt of which was the subject of the present indictment. They all knew that children were constantly in the habit of running across the roads, and how difficult it was for persons driving, more especially gay horses, to prevent accidents. The prisoner, when made acquainted with the accident which ensued, sent a surgeon, paid his bill, and defrayed every subsequent expense consequent upon the unfortunate death of the child, He had, in fact, done all that a man could do under such cirumstances. By his (Mr. Whitehurst's) advice he had pleaded guilty, be cause he felt, seeing that the prisoner was somewhat in liquor, he (Mr. Whitehurst) could not successfully appeal to the jury for a verdict of acquittal upon the charge of manslaughter. He would call witnesses who would give the prisoner an excellent character, and he hoped that evidence w ou ld h ave d ue e ff ect with the Court. Numerous witnesses spoke highly of the prisoner as a kind, sober, humane, and industrious man. Mr. Justice MA ULE, in passing sentence, said it appeared from the evidence, that on Sunday afternoon, the 10th of May, the prisoner, when madly drunk, drove down a steep hill in a gig, all the while flogging the horse, and when he ran over the child he exclaimed, " Blast your eyes." No doubt this con. duct was the result of excessive drinking—in fact, excess in drink had transformed the prisoner from the character of a peaceable man, as he was stated to be by his witnesses, into that of a savage and outrageous beast. The act was committed with the utmost ferocity; but it was said that when the pri soner came to his senses, he had done all that a man could do. Still such offences must not go unpunished. Hoping and trust ing) however, that his present position would be a warning to him, that he would not get drunk again (for if he did, he might next commit murder), and that for the future he would know how much better he might spend his Sunday afternoons, he should past upon him a lighter sentence than otherwise he should In, justified in doing. The Learned Judge then sen tenced the prisoner to four months' imprisonment and hard labour. The business of the assizes concluded at three o'clock. OXFORD CIRCUI7I-11ereford, July 31. CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord DENMAN.) If Taylor, aged 21, and Wee. Doddymeud, aged 41, de scribed in the calendar as labourers, but evidently vagrants, were charged with having, on the 22d of 31ay last, feloniously set on fire a stack of corn, the property of George Maffei', at Bridstow, in this county. On the day upon which the fire took place, at about eight o'clock in the morning, one John Bennett, a farmer, was jour neying along the Ross road, and as he drew near the rick he observed the prisoner Taylor standing about 100 yards from it ; the other man, Doddymead, he observed getting over a gate, about 30 yards distant from the stack ; a few minutes only elapsed when the witness observed a creeping flame, about the size of his hat, glowing in the rick, and in an instant the whole appeared in a blaze. Upon this the farmer directed his son, who was riding with him, to take the prisoner Doddymead into custody, which he did, and succeeded in dragging him to the house of Air. Marfell. While there, the young man inquired of him what was his reason for setting the rick on fire? to which Doddymead answered, " It wa'nt me, but a fellow on the road." Soon after this conversation, a look-out being kept, the prisoner Taylor was observed on the road, and he was apprehended. It was proved by the prosecutor that he left his house about half-past seven o'clock on the day in question, and that then the stack was safe. A passer-by would suppose, if he gave the subject a thought, that as the rick adjoined the pre mises of a Mr. Roberts, it must of necessity be his property. The chief evidence affecting the prisoners was contained in their own statements. Taylor said that, on the day of the fire, as he and the other prisoner were tramping along the road, Doddymead said, " I'll set some place on fire, and get trans ported ;" and that when they came to a house near which the rick was situate, he ( Taylor) went into that house to ask for a bit of bread, and on his return Doddymead said, " I'll put an end now to this travelling." Taylor then, as he said, upon hearing this, went away, and Doddymead get over the gate by the rick. Soon after he heard cries of " Fire !" and a gentle. man came up and collared him. Doddymead heard this state meet of 'Taylor, and said it was quite true; that he had nothing to add to it. He in his turn made a statement that he and Taylor had long before intended to committ an offence of this description. His Loansitte summed up, and the jury, after consulting together for ten minutes, found Doddymead Guilty, and Ac quitted Taylor. Lord DENMAN addressed the prisoners, and said, that it fre quently happened that offences were committed by persons on the tramp, who were perfect strangers to the counties through which they passed, and so, as in this instance, they not only did grievous injury and wrong, but also brought an unjust imputa tion upon the people of the district, as being wickedly disposed and discontented. His Lordship then observed, that it seemed Doddymead had committed this act with a view to transporta tion ; it was a part of his duty to let him know that this was not the only punishment which would be inflicted upon him ; there was hard labour and solitary confinement, which would be his portion. His Lordship said he should consider his sentence at a subsequent period. The prisoner was again placed at the bar, and sentenced to fifteen years' transportation. Mr. Justice Patteson disposed of the few remaining cases in the Crown Court; and the business of the assize finally closed soon after eleven o'clock. The Commission will be opened this evening at Mcnmouth. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. C L WEIN' WELL. CHARGE OF AlURDER.—Yesterday, Ann Hunter, aged twenty-four, wife of a cowkeeper, residing at No. 7, Market street, St. John-street, Clerkenwell, was charged before Mr. Greenwood with the wilful murder of an infant child of which it is supposed she was the mother. John Seward, police-constable No. 67 G, having been sworn, deposed as follows :—ln consequence of information which I received this morning about half-past eight o'clock, that a child had been murdered at No. 7, Market-street, St. John-street, Clerkenwell, I proceeded thither. On going into the kitchen I saw a washhand basin lying on the table, containing the body of a dead child with its head severed from it as it it had been cut off with a knife. There was no appearance of blood. I inquired of the landlady and other persons in the house whe ther they had noticed any pregnant person lately, and they informed me that the prisoner, about three weeks ago, had been taken very ill, and was in great pain. I went up stairs to the prisoner's apartment, on the first floor back, where I found her at breakfast. I spoke to her, and she said she was pregnant three weeks ago, but she had miscarried, and her aunt, Mrs. Murphy, could prove it. tshe said Mrs. Muaphy lived on Saffron-hill. I took the prisoner into custody, and conveyed her and the body of the child to the station-house in 13agnigge Wells-road. Eleanor Kirk, of Market-street, Clerkenwell, deposed—l am a lodger in the same house as the prisoner. She lived there one month. The prisoner, when she first came to lodge there, bore all the appearance of being in the family-way. About three weeks ago the prisoner was very ill, and went to bed. She was in great pain, and sent for a Mr. Howlet, of No. 23, Smith-street, Clerkenwell, who attended her. Never saw a child on that occasion. Did not hear screams or crying of a child. This morning, at half-past eight o'clock, Mrs. Hum berson, the landlady of tho house, made an alarm, and called witness, informing her that she had discovered the body of a dead child in the water-clo.et with its head cut off. They got the body out, and afterwards the head, both of which they washed, and placed them in a basin, when a policeman was sent for. Mr. GREENWOOD—Did the head appear to have been severed from the body with a knife ? Witness—Yes, your Worship. It was a full-grown child. The prisoner denied that it was her child, and professed total ignorance of the affair. Mrs. Mary Ann Humberson deposed—l am wife of Francis John Eiumberson, of No. 7, Ma , ket-street, St. John-street, Clerkenwell. This morning I found the body of the deceased child in the water-closet attached to my house. Its head was severed from its body. It was discoloured and black. When the prisoner first came to lodge in my house I suspected that she was in the family was. About three weeks ago she was taken very ill and was in dreadful pain. She was confined to her bed. Her husband lived with her. Mr. Taylor, surgeon to the G division, and also to the parish of Clerkenwell, said he was called upon y - esterday morning to examine the deceased child at the station-house. The head seemed to have been severed from the body by a knife. The body was decomposed. He had made but a superficial examination. The child appeared to have been born about three weeks. Sergeant Wilkinson, IS G, here said that. Mrs. Kirk had omitted to state one important fact in her evidence. When the prisoner was taken ill about three weeks ago, she (➢lrs. Kirk) went for the purpose of seeing her, but she would not admit her. Mrs. Margaret Murphy, wife of James Murphy, coal dealer,. of Saffron-hill, deposed that the prisoner's mother was her first cousin. Prisoner had been in England four years. About three weeks ago, Mrs. Hunter, called on witness, and said the prisoner was very ill, and that a false report had been spread about her. Witness went to her, and found her in bed. Witness is a midwife. The prisoner was not in the family way. There was no child seen by her. There was not the least sign of miscarriage. Mr. Taylor said he was of opinion that the prisoner had been confined and delivered of a child about the time stated. She bore all the usual symptoms of having been delivered of a child. Mr. GREENWOOD asked the prisoner what she had to say in her defence? The prisoner said—l have nothing at all to say, Sir. only that I know nothing at all about the matter. Mr. GREENWOOD—It is my duty to remand you until Tuesday next. The prisoner was then taken from the bar crying, when Mr. GREENWOOD directed Waddington, the ganlor, to allow her friends to have an interview with her, prior to her being locked up. QUEEN SQUARE. AN INHUMAN MartrEe..—Yesterday Anne Smith, a pros titute of the lowest grade, was charged with inhumanly neg lecting her child, an infant, only twelve weeks old, in conse- I uence of which its life is despaired of. The deplorable condition of the poor child was first brought to light by a girl who, having heard some talk amongst others of her own grade about the child, was induced, from 'motives of curiosity, to go and see it, but was so horror-stricken on beholding its emaciated condition, that she hurried to the police-station, and gave immediate information of the occur rence. Mr. Moran, the inspector on duty, promptly dis patched a constable with the girl to Mr. Thomas, one of the relieving officers of the parish, and the board, who were sitting at the time, directed that the child should be immediately taken to the workhouse, the medical officer sent for, and every attention paid to it, and that. the inhuman mother should be forthwith apprehended. A police-constable found prisoner in the tap-room of a public house, in the Broadway, playing at cards with some soldiers, and upon informing her that she must come with him, she coolly requested that she might be permitted to finish her game, but was of course not allowed to do so. Mr. Thomas produced the following certificate : " I have examined the infant of Anne Smith. The child is very emaciated, and evidently has been altogether neglected by the party who has had charge of it. It is very doubtful if the child will ultimately survive. " J. WRIGHT." Anne Green, of the Almonry, Westminster, said she occu pied the next room to the prisoner, who had been in the house two months, and came there from the workhouse. The child was at that time a very fine infant, but had within the last month fallen off very much, during which time prisoner had been away from home more than usual. The accused was fre quently out all day long, and leff the poor infant in her room by itself, and the witness has en several occasions when she heard it crying, gone into the room, brought it out, and washed and given it food. Prisoner went out at seven o'clock on Thursday morning, and was heard no more of until appre- hended by the constable. Witness washed and fed the infant on that day. The infant was produced, and caused a universal shudder ; it presented a truly emaciated appearance, and the poor child, for want of nutriment from the mother, had sucked the flesh of one of its fingers to the very bone. The prisoner muttered that the young girl in the next room attended to it, and that it was in " a gallopping con sumption." Mr. BURRELL remanded her for a week. Prisoner inquired whether she was to be separated from her dear child? and shed a few tears. Mr. BURRELL said that the poor infant would be taken where it would receive the kindness it was her duty to have bestowed upon it, but which duty she had neglected. LIEUT.-GENERAL NAPIER. [General Napier, the gallant Governor of Guernsey, has addressed the following interesting letter to the editor of the Times. It places the character of his chivalrous brother, if possible, in a still more striking light than heretofore.—En. Sun.] Sir,—ln Galignani's Messenger of the 18th of July I find the following extract from the Parisian journal called the Sijele:— " In England an event like that of Dahra would not even have excited remark. General Napier recently committed in the war of Sinde atrocities which nothing could equal." Upon this Galignanrs Messenger observes : " The charge against General Napier does not stand upon the same ground; true or false, it stands in juxtaposition with that against Colonel Pelissier." This intolerable calumny, invented by the Sit , c/e, repeated and countenanced by Galignani, is addressed to the startled civilisation of Europe to avert its rising indignation at the barbarity of French warfare in Africa. The atrocities of Sir Ch.trles Napier ! What were they ? Can one be men tioned? Let the Sie?ele state any act of his deviating in the slightest degree from honour, generosity, or good dis cipline ! General Napier never committed, nor suffered those under his command, to perpetrate any barbarity. He warred in Siude, under the orders of his Govern ment, and justly ; he was not an aggressor. He fought two battles and won both. The first, which lasted four hours and a half, he won with 2,000 men against 34,000 brave warriors, who did not resign the field until 8,000 of their numbers had fallen. The second, which lasted above three hours, he won with 5,000 men against 26,000, who left a fifth of their number on the ground to attest their valour. He has made two campaigns, and for more than two years be has governed the country he conquered; and neither in his campaigns, nor under his government, has a woman or a child been killed, oppressed, injured, or insulted. No man has been killed, save on the field of battle. Even the unmi- tigated calumniator of the Bombay Times never dared to assert more than that some officers had seduced the Ameer's women to live with them; and his mendacious assertion was instantly met by an indignant denial, published and signed by every officer of the army. No man of that army had ever seen one of the vrotten. Calignani's Messenger desires to have General Napier's conduct placed in juxtaposition with Colonel Pilizsier's. Let it he so. The French Colonel, if the French papers are to be be lieved, roasted by a slow fire 800 Arab men, women, and children, together with their cattle, rather than delay, even for a few days, his march of devastation against other tribes, and this in an aggressive war on his part. The English General invaded certain Belooch tribes, be cause they had descended from their mountains upon Sintle, cut off some troops, destroyed many villages, and murdered many men, women, and children. These tribes were not subjects of the conquered An - leers; no war had been madeon them, no injury had been done to them, no insult, no prove • cation offered to them ; but to repress their aggressions, and protect the people under his government, General Napier in vaded their mountains. This surprising expedition, which lasted 54 days, presented the most formidable difficulties. A desert a hundred miles wide, arid and desolate as any in Africa, was to be passed ere the army could reach the nu merous tribes, which were to be warred down amidst stupen dous rocks and barren mountains, where more than one im perial army had been destroyed in former days, and where re cently many British detachments had been cut off. The troops had to dig, day after day, for water, of a deleterious nature when procured; they were con s t an tly on half ration; they had to contend with a numerous and warlike people, gliding like serpents around them in craft, and fighting like lions when beset. The Indian newspaper rich. culed the enterprise, and predicted defeat for the madman who had undertaken it; the army, officers and soldiers alike, though brave and devoted to the last degree, sustaining every hardship, every privation, every fatigue, and meeting every danger with matchless patience and courage, had no expectation of a successful termination to their labours. The General stood alone in his hopes; but when his masterly combinations had reduced the tribes (whose power to destroy his army by fatigue and starvation was represented and be lieved by all to be insurmountable) to the last gasp of misery and famine—that is to say, when he was on the point of reaping the fruits of his indomitable perseverance by their surrender—l find the following passage in his private jour nal, written during the operation, and recording in homely style the impulses of his mind almost from hour to hour:-- " Feb. I.—The camelmen (commissariat) have, to the tune of 500, refused to bring provisions past Shapoor"—a place midway in the desert, the army being then in mountains as wild and sterile as the desert itself—" and I am fairly put to my trumps. Well, exertion must increase. I will use the camel corps"—a fighting corps—" and dismount half my cavalry to fetch provisions, if need be. I will eat Red Rover (his charger) sooner than flinch before these robber tribes." " Feb. 3.—1 knew I was right. I have intelligence that Bejar (the great chief of the tribes) and all his men are at Munclo, a place 20 miles in advance, dying of hunger; many expire daily. Come, I will wait. Let them fast. In four days the pass will be secured, and then I am at you, Bejar, and mean to give you a bellyful!. Ay, but there are his women, and be hanged to them I I must get them and the children out of the way, even though he escape." Thus, Sir, you see General Napier was re a dy t o sacrifice even the fairest advantages of war, and his own military re putation, to save women and child ren . C o l one l Peli ss i er roasted theml alive by hundreds rather than lose a few days' time—that is, if the charges against him be not an invention of the French journalists, which the falsehood of their charge against my brother gives me the right to suspect. W. F. P. NAPIER, Major •General. Guernsey, July 30. EXTENSIVE FlRE.—This morning (Saturday), shortly before one o'clock, a fire, attended with a very serious de struction of property, broke out upon the premises belonging to Mr. Moxon, a grocer and tea dealer, situate at No. 19, Blackmoor street, Clare-market, a very narrow and densely populated neigh bourhood. From inquiries instituted shortly alter the outbreak, it appears that some of the neighbours first discovered the fire in con sequence of noticing smoke issuing through the window shutters. An alarm having been instantly raised, some of the parties injudiciously burst open the street-door. The draught thus given to the flames caused them to travel with such sur prisin rapidity that, in less than ten minutes subsequently, the house, a very lofty one, was on fire from the basement to the roof, and to effect their escape the inmates were forced to retreat over the roof. The engines of the parish, London Establishment, West of England Company, and County Office, were remarkably quick in arriving, and no time was lost in setting the engines to work. The stock in trade being of such a combustible character, it it became a powerful auxiliary to the d am es, so much so h fire extended completely across the street, severely scorching he fronts of the opposite houses, the inmates of which were forced to rush forth into the street in order to escape being suffocated. By the indefatigable exertions of the firemen, th il e fr fire of f aiassioy further tar sub_ dued by half-past two o'clock as to extension of mischief. By that time,alhiaoywaever, the whole of the furniture, stock in trade, and wearing dj apparel, belonging to Mr. Moxon, were consumed, and the buildings severely damaged. The total loss must be very considerable, Fortunat e ly no lives were lost. Copes A C CIDENT.—During the Good wood r aces several coaches have r un from Brighton. On Thursday ni g ht a coach called the Age, driven by a person named B utc h er, in re _ t u rnine from G oo dwood, ran against the Aldrin g t on turnpike -gate with such force as to break the pole of the coach, and throw se yeral of the P ass engers off the roof, who, h owever, escaped with a few bruises. The horses, three in number, took flight, and r Into Brighton at a fearful rate, but owing to the late hour they escaped concussion with any vehicles, and were stopped within a few yards of the Blue coach-office. The passengers, rather shaken, arrived at a late hour the same evening. EFFECTS OF STEAM BY LAND AND WATER.—The town of Sittinghourne, in Kent, a few years past, had two respect able inns, which together used sixty pairs of post horses; the largest, the Rose, is now shut up, and the other uses only three pairs of horses and two post boys ; formerly 35 coaches went 'through the town, now only one. ,- I_, 2. , _... n ...)V - 0 0 2 . . . .*' NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

LOSS OF ONE HUNDRED AND TIIIRTY-FIVE LIVES. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 17.—0 n the night of the 1 Ith instant, on the Black Sea, about forty miles east of the Bosphorus, a most dreadful catastrophe took place. Two Turkish steamers, the one coming from, and the other going to Trebizond, came into sudden collision, and one of them went down with the greater part of her crew and passengers. The vessels were the Scutari, commanded by Mr. Dubbing, and the Medjehrai 'Fidjahret, commanded by Mr. Lambert. The commander of each vessel was perfectly aware of the approach of the other full twenty minutes before the fearful event happened, and there was apparently no danger. But Capt. Lambert, fancying he had an Austrian vessel before him, to obey a rule of the Austrian service, put his helm a starboard, whilst the commandei of the Scutari, following the rule of the English ser vice, put his helm a.port. Thus the former ran right under the bows of the latter, and the .collision was inevitable. If both commanders had put their helms a.port, no accident could possibly have happened. Though it was a moonlight night, there was a good deal of fog, so that the mistake was Lot discovered till it was impossible to avoid its terrible consequence. The klediehrai Tidjahret was struck between the fore rigging and the engine. The shock was tremendous. There were a great num. ber of passengers on board both the vessels, chiefly Turks and Italians, and a scene of indescribable dismay and confusion arose. At first it was not known which of the steamers had received fatal damage. As the Scutari is an old ship, and greatly out of repair, it was thought she must have suffered most, but the con trary proved to be the case. Whilst this was in doubt, however, her commander proposed that the vessels should be lashed together, or that one should be taken in tow by the other, in order that if either of them should be found to be unseaworthy, or in a state of wreck, the sound vessel might be able to rescue the ship's corn. pan) , and passengers of the other. This proposal was most en. fortunately rejected. The vessels parted; the Medjebrai Tidjahret dropped about a mile astern, and in the course of leas than a quarter of an hour it was found that she was sinking rapidly: The Scutari, which bad got but slight damage, then went to her help; but it was too late. Very few, comparatively, could be saved. The boats of the devoted vessel were so overcrowded by those who strove with frantic eagerness to make their escape, that they sunk at once. About seventy, however, by swimming, and by clinging to spars, reached the Scutari, where they clustered round the puldleboxes till they were taken in. Captain Lam bert and an engineer were picked up by a boat of the Scutari. All the rest, one hundred and thirty.five souls, perished. Their agony was a short one, but it was terrific. As the Scutari approached the wreck she heeled over (the people on the deck, like wild maniacs, were visible in the moonlight), and as the sea sucked her down—as the vortex of waters she formed in sinking almost made the Scutari spin round with the motion, there rose a scream of utter horror—a last scream I—which those who heard will never forget. But more Impressive still was the passive resignation of the Turks; they sat motionless muttering their prayers; neither by cry nor gesture did they manifest any consternation ! In im passive silence—amid the shrieks of despair of Christians—the fatalists met their frightful doom. From the first shock to the sink. ing of the vessel not more than half an hour elapsed. The captains of the two vessels were English ; the engineers were also English. Upon English navigation and engineers, therefore, this terrible accident must bring much discredit in this part of the world. Indeed, after every account has been given, one hardly knows how to explain it. Two ships on the broad sea. being perfectly aware of each other's vicinity, run foul of each other, and nearly the whole of the crew and passengers of one of them perish I There has been a court of inquiry held upon the matter, but the Turks who formed the court were so utterly igno. rant of nautical affairs, that nothing like a clear explanation was elicited. These Turkish steamers have now been for seven years commanded by Englishmen, and worked by English engineers, and eut of seven hundred voyages, they have only three times met with accidents. This fact may be some set off against the mon strous blundering which led to the fearful event just narrated. THE PRESS AND THE BAR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l trust that the editors of the different county papers circulating in the Western and Oxford circuits will unite, in common with yourself and the gentlemen who have the manage ment of the principal London journals, and resent the insult ()tiered to thew by the bar of those circuits, and refrain from mentioning the names of the barristers employed in the various causes, which it is advisable, for the public benefit, to h ave re ported. Such a proceeding, I think, would affect the interest of these wealthy gentlemen more than any other plan that could be devised.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, A SOLICITOR.

SUNDERLAND ELECTION.-011 Thursday, Thomas Wood, Esq., shipowner, and one of the leading members of Mr. Hudson's Committee, was summoned before the magistrates and fined, for assaulting a poor tailor, named Kirkbride, who had beets guilty of the unpardonable offence of hissing Mr. Hudson while Wood was cheering him. The fining of this gentleman for the assault has produced an excellent effect in checking the " plsysical force" demonstrations of the Tories. The canvassing was going on unremittingly during the day, and at night the constituency were addressed by the candidates and their friends. It is expected that the nomination will take place on Monday, and the polling on the following day. _ _ _ TROTTING TWO NILES UNDER SEVEN MINUTES.-..
