The gene ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un guarded; and, for their detection, J.

THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded, and be independent of the liberality or caprice of those who shall be in the management of the affairs of the Company - when the claims arise; and for this purpose the Company have, 5y a clause in their deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprival themselves of the power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that it was obtained from them by fraudulent m' ,, representation. The regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra-judicial com promises, are thus entirely abrogated ; and nothing but fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a pelicy granted by this Company. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated before tile claims arise. The Company considering it only just towards the assured that where premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount should be paid; and they undertake to do so without reference to the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor. THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe. The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are lower than usual upon young lives, where participation in the profits is not required; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the assured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re gard to complete security will permit.

The Half-premium plan of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at 51. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 10/., the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one half of the 101., and interest for the retained half; and, if death should occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the 51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 51. ; for the second, of 10/. ; and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. Interest until death, when the 35/. would be subtracted from the 5001. then payable by the Company. TO ASSURE ONE lIU BORED POUNDS ON HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. Age. .s. d. Age.

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or ferfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General ➢feeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the amount already invested; ant this bonus, according to an equitabie scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future premiums THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' and GE NERAL FIRE and LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY- Adelaide-place, London-bridge; 444, West Strand; 23, Thistle. street, Edinburgh; Wason-buildings, Liverpool; and Oldham, street, Manchester.

For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per .cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to assure his life for £l,ooit on the im mediate payment of the premium for £SCO only.

Sir,—Until the demand for factory goods shall exceed the supply, the Ten Hours' Bill is based on a principle of sour.d policy as well as of humanity. It will divide profits among a larger number of manu facturers than would be the case with a Twelve Hours' Bill, or no Bill at all. More manufacturers will be benefited at a small and equitable sacrifice imposed upon each, and any check put upon the leviathan profits of a few, as such, will be a boon conferred on many. The same principle applies to labour. Ten hours' labour may be followed by u, cacriGoo in wages. But then every farthing so sacrificed will be di vided, in additional factories, among an additional num ber of work people, who otherwise might and would ob tain no employment at all. Nor would the sacrifice on the part of those who, lose remuneration for two hours' labour be all sacrifice. It affords to each and all the boon of improved health, more natural rest, time to attend to relative duties, and, above all, to spiritual im provement. without which constant work and high wages are but sad pregatratives to future and eternal misery. Let the Ten Hours' Bill be enacted to be in force until the whole factory power of Great Britain is inadequate to meet the home and foreign demand. We may ven ture to trust the Cabinet with discretionary power to suspend its operation whenever such a contingency as this shall arise. Does not the Government at this mo ment exercise a similar discretionary power over its own workshops, our dockyards? Do not the Ministers regu late in dockyards the hours of labour, limiting not only the hours of the day, but the number of the days in the week when work is slack, and do they not do this with a view, by the equitable distribution of work and wages, to keep as much as possible the staff of workmen unim paired in numbers and in practice? Policy and hu manity dictate this course, and, as it is foumi to work well in our national establishments, why should it not, especially when trade is limited, work with equal ad vantage in our cotton and other factories? • I am, Sir, yours, March 28. FACTOR. RIGHT OF SOLICITORS TO ADDRESS JURIES.— Chief Baron Brady permitted a solicitor to address the jury in defence of a prisoner at Cork. Mr. Bennett, Queen's Counsel, and the bar. strongly protested against such an in cursion upon their privileges (whieh were specially recognised by statute), rose immediately after the Learned Judge had intimated his intention, and withdrew from the Court. His Lordship stated that he would have the question fully argued before the twelve judges. AWFUL DEATH.--Mr T. Hutchinson, the eminent railway contractor, iret his death last week, on his way from the Sedgefield station of the Stockton and Darlington Rail. way to the village of Morden, where he lived. He had a few glasses of whisky at the Sedgefield station, which is a public-house, and in less than half an hour after he had left to walk home, he was found with his head just with i n the rails, and an engine with a train of thirty-five waggots had gone over his neck, right shoulder, and arms, which killed him 14 a moment. He has left a widow and six children. COMMONS' INCLOSURE BILL. (From the Morning Advertiser.) In consequence of the indisposition of Lord Worsley, the Order of the Day for going into Committee on the Commons Inclosure Bill was on Wednesday night postponed by the House of Commons till the 24th of April, and most earnestly is it to be hoped that the friends of justice and of the poor will spare no effort during the brief interval thus given, in endea vouring to defeat this monstrous attempt at public spoliation. While the Morning Chronicle is employing its columns in aid of this iniquitous proceeding, and en deavouring to blind the eyes of the public to its real character, the Times admits into its pages a most valuable exposé of its true nature. The morning or gan of Whiggery volunteers to write in favour of a iapacious act worthy only of the age of feudal oppres sion, and the " leading journal" does not leave its readers without the means of perceiving the gross in justice against the poor, of which the Chronicle is the advocate. The Commons Inclosure Bill is, in the language to which we refer, "a proposition which gives 4,000,000 of acres to those who already possess 32,000.000," and which, we may add, makes this magnificent donation to the landed aristocracy under the most hypocritical pretences. Under the profession of regard to the poor, and a wish to provide for them, the great landlords in Parliament are about to divide among themselves about one-eighth of the whole coun try.;,and.the organ of Liberal opinions, the stern as sertor of public rights, aids the cupidity of landlords in Parliament, by trying to persuade the country that there will be no harm done. We admire the pointed sar casm which pervades the following language, and unveils the hypocrisy of which the Chronicle is the advocate:— "The parties to this important question aro the gentry of the country on the one hand, and the com mon people on the other. The first assume, and with truth, that there is want of employment in many parts of the kingdom, and by the inclosing, paring, and tilling of many of those wastes, every labouring man will obtain the great and scarce boon of employ ment, for which he is pining. The increase of their own estates is not for a moment admitted as a motive, though an addition of one-eighth is not a contempti ble addition." If this very large portion of the country which is now the property of the nation, is to be brought into cultivation for the benefit of the poor, we beg to suggest a plan by which the interests of the poor can be effectually secured, and at the same time the nation at large shall receive whatever ad vantage may be derivable from the improvement of its own property. Let these four millions of acres be sold or rented, or allotted to the poor, and let the proceeds go towards the liquidation of the National Debt. Can we afford to put into the pockets of the landed aristocracy those funds which, if judiciously appropriated, would considerably diminish the bur dens of an over-taxed population ? What man in his senses, who knows the facts which for months past have been constantly before the public, relative to the heartless indifference of landlords to the pros perity of their tenantry, would for a moment dream of those landlords devising a measure simply for the benefit of the agricultural labourers and farmers? What a disinterested, benevolent race these landed Members have become, to consent to have their estates en larged, not at all for their own advantage, but simply from the kind and anxious wish to add to the comforts of those miserable families to which their compassion has assigned as an ample support, 6s. or 7s. a week ! The true extent of the regard which is had to the poor in the contemplated measure, may be best un derstood by the fact, which is stated in the Times, relative to the inclosure at Croydon : " Some years ago an Act was obtained to inclose no less than 6,000 acres of land at Croydon, in Sur rey. The lord of the manor, the holders of land, and others received large portions—among them the late Lord Liverpool. To the poor were allotted about 200 acres. These they never obtained, neither com pensation ; but a court-house being wanted, another Act was passed : the poor man's lots were sold in pur suance of it, and the money spent in this monument of rapacity. " _ _ Ilere is - a beautiful specimen of the treatment to which the poor are subject by landowning M. P.'s. A large extent of common is inclosed•for the benefit of the poor, and their portion is appropriated to the erection of a court-house, where they may stand in the presence of their wealthy neighbours charged with poaching on the manor which was once their own possession, and which the laws of their coun try have taken from them and given to the rich. The friends of the poor have every reason to dis credit the professions of those by whom Lord Wors ley's Bill is advocated, and to oppose a measure which, as long as the game-laws disgrace our sta tute-book, will increase the perils to which the lives of the poor are exposed. The more inclosures the more game preserves, and the wider will be the scene in which desperate encounters will take place be tween the furtive intruder and the gamekeeper. To the numerous illustrations which have recently been furnished of the evil results of these foolish and cruel laws, an addition has just been made by a trial reported in the papers yesterday, for the murder of the gamekeeper at Kingston. In the language of the Learned Counsel who defended the prisoner, it is "a melancholy thing that, in order to enable persons in the position of Lord Grantley to enjoy their plea sures and preserve their game, the lives of the poorer classes are to be sacrificed, and it would be much better if there were no game, and that such lordly pleasures should be altogether abolished, than that such dreadful cases as that before the Court, and si milar ones all over the country during the present assizes, should have taken place." It is evident, from the confession of the unhappy convict Elsley, as well as from numerous other similar statements, that the feelings that exist between poachers and gamekeepers are those of the most deadly hatred, feelings strangely inconsistent with the trivial cha racter of the property which one of the parties has to protect and the other is anxious to seize. In the case to which we have referred, the gamekeeper seemed determined to kill the poor man who had knocked down a brace of pheasants, and a deadly encounter, a "life-for-life" fight was the result. If the victim of these inhuman and unnatural laws had been the keeper of the Crown jewels or the guardian of Majesty, he could not have displayed more ear nestness in the guardianship of the property intrusted to his care, or have shown a more deadly enmity against the man by whom his charge was assailed. It is really a monstrous absurdity that the idle amuse ments of the aristocracy should be so sacredly fenced round by the sanctions of law as to peril human life and liberty whenever they are invaded. And when, as in the unhappy case at Kingston, we see one life sacrificed, and another barely saved from the gibbet, in a contest for a brace of pheasants, taken to rescue his wife and family from the fangs of starvation, we are the more impelled to protest against a measure by which the number of such cases will be increased.

This scheme is one of the efforts of the pro-corn-law party to perpetuate the ruinous policy of which they are the abettors. Want of employment—the effect of the corn-laws—is to cease for a few years by set ting the unemployed labourers to work -on their own land, and thus one of the arguments for free trade is to be answered, and the clamours of the League to he silenced. Should this policy (by the aid of the Morning Chronicle) succeed, the day which the land lords dread will be put off, until it will be too late to adopt the only measure that will save the country from ruin, England will have lost her manufacturing enterprise, and all her interests will be bankrupt together. (From the Times.) The second debate on Lord IVorsley's Inclosure Bill is adjourned till after Easter. We are glad of this. The interval of time thus gained will afford an opportunity to Hon. Members of investigating the merits of a subject on which, we suspect, the greater number of them are more ready to vote than to re fleet. And, though we do not profess to be very sanguine in our hopes that the arri&e pens& of a Parliamentary majority may turn the scale of a divi sion in favour of a generous and just as opposed to an interested policy, yet we do not wholly despair of seeing the House do on this occasion what it has done on others—namely, rescind its previous deci sions, and retract its former language—an inconsist ency which, however derogatory it may be to the dignity of a legislative assembly, is not unfrequently more in accordance with the wishes, and more sub- servient to the interests, of those who are represented in it, than the most stubborn and pertinacious con sistency would be. The House has of late exhibited a very strong predilection in favour of the principle of humanity over the petty wisdom of economists and the selfish abstractions of rich men. The causes from which this predilection has arisen still exist, and must operate on future occasions to thwart any ten dency to a sordid or oppressive spirit of legislation. It cannot be that those who have stood forth strenu ously and determinedly, and not less triumphantly than strenuously, to champion the poor man's rights in the populous towns which owe their wealth and prosperity to his labour—it cannot be that the very same men can forget to maintain the privileges which the policy and philanthropy of past ages guaranteed to him and his children in the soil of his native hamlet. We wish Hon. Gentlemen would bring themselves to an examination of the purport and effects of the Bill, and ask themselves what it really is, and what it proposes to do. The Bill is nothing more than an embodiment of a scheme which has become very fashionable of late years—that of centralisation—aggravated by the worst features of spoliation. It takes from the poor to give to the rich, whilst it throws over the fraud which it sug gests the pretext of consent on the part of those whom it pillages ' • and it crowns the mischiefs whi c h it ne cessitates by creation of a new board of assistant commissioners, secretaries, and a large staff of mer cenaries, who will doubtless be just as likely to regard the prayers or the remonstrances of the poor com moners, as that other great central board—the Poor law Commission —is habitually moved by the suppli cations of parochial paupers. There is one thing to be said in favour of this Bill —that on the face of it it shows less humbug than might be expected. It of course has a good deal about appeals to Pariiament, awards, and arbi trations, and so forth ; just as if when the plunder once began, one did not know who must get it ; b u t ow-the whole it does not profess Much in besiiiilf of the poor, as its supporters in and out of Parliament do— it puts them quietly on one side, tells them that it's of no use in the world making any noise about the matter, and coolly transfers their property—often the smallest portion of the commonable land in a parish —according to the will and pleasure of the one or tv o gentlemen who may happen to possess an inte rest in two-thirds of it—i.e., of the great landowner or landowners in the neighbourhood. There is, at all events, something bold and straighforward in this, which distinguishes Lord Worsley's tone from that taken by many of his party, who professed to be im pelled by an overwhelming solicitude for the good of the poorer classes. And on this ground alone— that it despoils the poor cottager of all that he can call:his own in the way of property--on this ground alone, if on no other, we would strongly resist this measure. But when, in addition to this one noxious and hateful principle, it involves the creation of a central board, with Heaven only knows what powers and what salary, and the dis pensation of no little patronage, we think that we are discharging a most important duty in denouncing, a despotism which will be no less profli gate than oppressive--no less costly to the public than inimical to the welfare of the poorest classes. If the poor are to be not only injured in their property, but also wounded in that generous pride with which the consciousness of hereditary privileges was wont to inspire the very humblest individual, do not insult those whom you rob by the mushroom superstructure of a well-paid Commission. If you must erect a new board, and if you are grasping for more patronage, at any rate look out for some subjects more powerful and less sensitive than the rural cottagers to oyerate upon. Look abroad upon the wide field of foreign and do mestic politics ; and in the wide ocean of finance, po litical economy, and European alliances, you will find some green spot whereon a Commission may fatten to your heart's content. You are fond of talking about the happiness, the comfort, the manly independence, and the honest cheerfulness of the rural population ; do not talk thus, whilst you are destroying the basis on which your panegyric rests. Do not deprive him of that petty remnant which political economy or indi vidual covetousness yet allows him to retain, of inte rest in the soil which gave him birth. Deprive him of this, and you extinguish in his bosom the last spark of ingenuous pride, and you convert him into a sullen, reckless, thriftless, and serf-like hireling. You speak kindly and sympathetically of his manly sports when it aids your purpose; you pass a Bill through Parliament, not, of course, as at first sight would appear, to ward off certain legal penalties from yourselves, but to encourage the manly sports of your poorer countrymen; do not let this enactment —philanthropic and disinterested as you would have it considered—be the limit of your well-doing and right-voting. Resist a Bill which wouiu sake away from the alleged object of your genial sympathies, not only the few acres which pastured his small stock, but also the green-sward where— . __ " All the village train, from labour free, Led up their sports beneath the spreading tree; While many a pastime circled in the shade, The young contending as the old survey'd, And many a gambol frolick'd on the ground, And sleights of art and feats of strength went round." If you are bent on preserving the healthy and cheer- ing sports of the English pe — asant—sports which may beguile him from the beer-shop, and allure him from Chartism—depend upon it that you will do more to wardi realising this purpose by resisting Lord Wors ley's Bill, than by a thousand enactments directly or indirectly in favour of horse-racing.

(From the Weekly Dispatch of yesterday.)_ About a month ago a poor man, named William Hearnden, a vendor of writing paper, called at the office of the Dispatch, in an agony of mind that cannot be described without har rowing up the feelings of our readers, and related that his little daughter Emma, an inmate of the Blean union poor house at Herne, had, by order of the governor, been locked up in the dead-house of the establishment, as a punishment for wetting her bed. This statement was corroborated by a letter the poor fellow held in his hand from another daughter (Elizabeth), who had visited Emma in the union, and learned from her the ill treatment she had experienced. The editor of the Dispatch at once communicated with the Poor-law Commissioners, at Somerset House, through the medium of Edwin Chadwick, Esq. In his letter the matter was briefly stated, and the Commissioners, greatly to their credit, at once directed the Board of Guardians to prosecute an investigation into the business, and acquaint them with the result. The Board accordingly instituted an inquiry—what-an inquiry ! and came to the conclusion that Emma Hearnden had never been within the walls of the dead-house by day or night, and that the guardians were perfectly satisfied that such were the facts i Of course such a conclusion as this sagacious Board arrived at was sufficient to throw discredit upon our statement ; but, after the lapse of a few days, having in the meantime made further inquiry, we again thought proper to hint to the Poor-law Commissioners, that not only was our statement corroborated by some observa tions made by the editor of the Kent Herald, but that that spirited individual had stated that " too great severity was used in punishing the boys and girls in the house by flogging." Never, until this moment, could we discover the utility of a triumvirate sitting at Somerset-house. We now, however, see how necessary it is that there should be a con trolling power, if it be only for the purpose of correcting the errors and inhumanity of guardians. We can perceive, that if this triumvirate would act with greater liberality towards the poor, the Poor-law Act, instead of a curse, might prove a blessing to persons in poverty. Had there been no con trolling power, the conduct of the master of the Blean union would have appeared as pure as unsunned snow. But the Commissioners were dissatisfied with the guardians' report. They placed no faith in its correctness, and accordingly they appointed an investigation to take place before Mr. Hall ; and a more searching inquiry, we believe, was never insti tuted. Our reporter was present (luring the whole of the proceedings, and by that gentleman we have been placed in possession of a full and faithful report of the investigation ; but the following outline will be found sufficient to establish the truth of our statement, and confirm the guilty, the crimi nal, and atrocious conduct of the master. The inquiry took place in the board-room of the union house at Herne-common, on Monday, and the meeting was declared by the Commissioner, at the request of several of the guardians, to be an open one, in consequence of which the room throughout the day was crowded by persons from Herne, Herne-bay, and surrounding places. Mr. Walker, solicitor, of Canterbury, attended to watch the proceedings on the party of the accused. and Mr. T. T. De Lasaux, Coroner for East Kent, kindly stepped forward on behalf of the poor friendless child. The following guardians of the respective parishes were present :—Mr. Rammell, (Chairman); Mr. G. Goddard, Vice-Chairman ; Mr. Ryder ; Mr. W. F. Hilton ; Mr. Isaac Sladden ; Mr. Wootton, Chislet ; Mr. Wootton, Westbere ; Mr. Knight ; Mr. W. Denise ; Mr. Bedwell ; Mr. F. Neame : Mr. Wacher ; and Mr. G. Austen. Mr. HALL briefly opened the business, after which Emma Hearuden was called in and examined. She stated that she was between nine and ten years of age, and that up to . Fri day last, at which time Mr. De Lasaux took her away, she had been an inmate of the workhouse, and had lived there nearly two years, during which period she had often been shut up in a room called the dead-house, b y order of the mas ter, who would often, when he c ame u p to read prayers to the children, ask if she had " wet her bed ;" and if the other girls said yes, he used to say, " then she shall go down to the dead-room." So me ti mes s h e was ta k en t h ere, an d sometimes she went on being told to go, as she dared not re fuse. On one occasion, about a year ago, she was taken there by the "young mistress" (the d aug hter of the master), at which time the body of Mrs. Ingleton, who had died the day before, was in the room ; the body was covered over with a sheet, but the face was not ; it was lying on a board, and some straw under the head, and two carpenter's stools (trestles) supported it from the ground. She cried very much and begged to be let out ; she was placed in the dead house shortly after breakfast, and was released just before dinner time; and on the following day, in the afternoon, she was again placed there, and the body was still lying there. On this occasion she was not let out till it was " darkish ;" the women and children were about going to bed. Sometimes she was locked in and sometimes not. One or more times she slept there, when there was a bed carried in for her, and on these occasions she was locked in, but when she was not, she did not dare to come out, and if she cried, her young mistress would bring a cane and beat her on the back. Witaess be lieved that she had told one of the gentlemen present (meaning the guardians), but could not identify which; but not when she was examined by them a short time ago, as she was afraid to do so, as if she had she would have been punished, not by the guardians—they had layer punished her, or ordered her • - to be punrsiaed, but she was, afraid of the master. who aa often slapped her with his hands for the offence alluded to, and he said if she said anything about him when she went out he would give it her when she came home again. _ Mr. Goddard (one of the guardians) said, at the time the inquiry took place he was the visiting guardian for the week. He went round the yard with the child. She did not say that she had been locked up in the dead-heuse. She showed him a dormitory in which she had been placed by her Self, and . which statement was also reported to the board. Mrs. Hosorn, now residing at Herne Bay, was, in March, 1843, an inmate, with five children, of the workhouse. Re members Mrs. Ingleton dying on a Sunday, and she helped to lay out the dead body, and assisted in taking it to the dead house. It was put in a shell, and some straw laid under the head, a sheet was thrwn over the body, but not over the face. On the following morning, Emma Hearnden was locked in the room by Sarah Bailey, the master's daughter. The child cried very much, and witness, with another woman, went to the window and endeavoured to console her. She was clasping her hands together and begged to be released. The room in question was known by the inmates as the " dead-house.' Mrs. Browning, also an inmate at the time, was next sworn. She gave the same facts in evidence as the above, but said that the body was not in a shell, but only on the lid of one. Mr. Walker asked her if she had any conversation with the child after she came out of the room, to which the witness somewhat sharply replied, " No, I dared hardly to speak to my own children." Sarah Overt', also in the workhouse at the same time, cor roborated the last two witnesses. She also assisted in re moving the body of Mrs. Ingleton; she went twice to the window to pacify the child, and persuade her not to cry so. She also deposed to a bed being carried down to the room for the child to sleep on, but she was, on that occasion, let out at bed time. Believed that this was after Mrs. Ingleton was buried On the second day, the Court was opened at eleven o'clock, and was again soon filled by an anxious auditory. Previous to the examination of the witnesses, Mr. AUSTIN said that the rate-payers of the ville of the Archbishop's Palace had come to the resolution of engaging Mr. De Lasaux, professionally, to watch the case in heir name on behalf of the child. Mr. DE LASAUX then called a woman named Sarah Chees man, aged 77 years, but her evidence went merely to prove the testimony which was admitted by the master on the former investigation before the Board of Guardians —namely, that the child had been shut up one night in a down-stair room away from the othe children. This closed the case foF the child. Mary Walker, on behalf of the master, was first called in, and on being sworn said—She was between 15 and 16 years old, and had been an inmate of the workhouse for eight years. She knew Emma Hearnden, and loved her, and Emma loved her in return. The Hearndens had been there from the 24 of December, 1842. Emma was never punished. Never kept on bread and water. Never locked up. Never pu nished in any other way. Emma was in the habit of wetting her bed, but never punished for it. Had been reprimanded, as the other girls had complained to the mistress about it, and she had been threatened to be sent down to the straw room to sleep, but she never was sent down. The threat was only said to frighten her. The straw-room is one of the lower rooms away from the other sleeping rooms. It had been formerly the dead-room, but not for the last twelve months. The dead-room is now two doors from it. Mrs. Ingleton died on the 12th of March. No girl could be shut up without witness knowing it. Emma Hearnden was once shut up, it was in April, but does not remember what day of the month it was, for wetting her bed. The school mistress shut her up (Miss Sarah Bailey acts as upper school mistress) only about one hour. 'Thinks it was on a Tuesday about two months after Mrs. Ingleton's death. She knew it by her sister and other girls talking about it. It might be on a Friday. Mrs. White was told to let her out, but Emma's sis ter did. Witness then told a tale about the child having been shut up all day by her sister Betsy, and that none of the girls in the room knew where Emma was. That she herself could not get any sleep, and that in the morning she got up at five o'clock and found the child in the straw-room. There was no bed and the door was not locked, but Emma said she was afraid to come out all night, for fear Betsy would beat her. The schoolmistress went round of a night to see if all were in bed, and on missing Emma, Betsy said she was gone to the water closet. Never told this tale to any one till this (Tuesday) morning, then told it to a lawyer, Mr. Walker. Knew of Emma being called in and examined once in the board-room. Believes it was about being locked up. Does not remember more than that time. On being told by the Commissioner to look at Mr. De Lasaux, she exclaimed, " Oh, yes, I forgot, he and another gentleman came about a fortnight ago; the matron was present." Witness then commenced a long tale as to what took place, when the Commissioner said, "Though you remember all this, you forgot it till I told von Mr. De Lasaux was at your elbow." Witness then said that Emma did not tell Mr. D. much ; thought she was afraid. Commissioner—" Now, on your oath, what did the child say in reply ?" Witness*" That she was afraid of Mr. De Lasaux. She then corroborated the witnesses, Holborn, Browning, and Overy, as to the young mistress having known that the body was in the dead-room. From questions, sug gested by Mr. De Lasaux, she admitted that the matron had said, had she known what he had come about, she would not have let him in. Sarah Walker, nearly 14 years of age, stated she had been an inmate eight years.. Knew Emma Hearnden, and that her sister Betsey had shut her up all one night, and that was all the time she was shut up. Commissioner—" Was she not shut up by the schoolmaster?" Only once, from eight to nine o'clock in the morning. She was told by Sarah Bronger that Betsy had shut her sister up. Sarah Bronger went down and spoke to Emma about half-past eight at night, when she was in the straw-room, where Emma stopped all night. Sarah White was in the workhouse from October, 1842, to May, 1843, with her husband and family. She was under schoolmistress. Had Emma Heamden under her care. Never remembers master inquiring about her habit of wetting the bed. Has heard Miss Bailey say she should be put into the dead-room, and she was once put there in the month of April, and was kept there only one hour. Does not know of her having been shut up there about the time Mrs. Ingleton died. This witness made observations calculated entirely to destroy her credibility. The Rev. W. Temple stated, that from hearing the reports in the papers, lie, on the 25th of FebrutLry, after service, asked both the boys and girls collectively and separately. if any of them had been shut up in the night by order of the itovemor. an th Nn ' HP nnmed en instance when some boys were to have been brought before the Board for misconduct towards the schoolmaster, when the governor pleaded for them, on account that he had hinvelf given them a good caning. Mr. HALL then asked if they intended to produce any further evidence? _ _ _ Mr. Walker said, " No ;" it had been intended to have ex amined Sarah Bailey, " the young mistress" so often named, but l►e should decline doing so. Mr. HALL remarked, that Mr. Walker had been well act vised. At the request of Mr. De Lasaux, Elizabeth Hearnden was again called in, but Mr. Hall said it was quite unnecessary to re-examine her as to the statement of her having shut her sister up, but she was again questioned, and positively denied it ; and further, as to some statements made by Mrs. White and the girl Mary Walker. Mr. HALL then thanked the guardians for their attend ance, and remarked that he felt much pleasure in saving that the very full audience, during the investigation,.had conducted themselves with great propriety, and it was an en couragement to him to persevere in his views of giving every possible publicity to such proceedings. He added, that the affair would be laid before the Commissioners. This is the evidence to support our statement ; and the public may glean from it that, but for the exposures of the press—when that engine is fearlessly employed, and ar rayed on the side of truth—what gross inhumanity would prevail in our public establishments, and how much poverty would be exposed to the brute nature of man in authority. Here we have the case of a poor child, whose parent, to our knowledge, has seen better days, thrown into a dead house, as a punishment, because the little creature wetted the bed on which she slept ! Never was anything half so inhuman— so monstrously brutal—as the conduct of the master has proved. If ever man possessed a demon heart the Governor of the Blean Union is that person; his conduct to Emma Hearden must be execrated by persons of all colours and creeds ; and nothing short of expulsion from his situation will satisfy an outraged public. Mrs. Holborn's evidence as to the fact of finding the child in the dead-house, with the corpse of Mrs. Ingleton, affords a dreadful proof of the shock ing treatment to the juvenile paupers. Mrs. Holborn said "little Emma was locked in the dead-house by Sarah Bailey, the master's daughter; when she saw the poor thing, she was clasping her hands and begging to be re leased!" The witness Browning corroborated Mrs. Hot born's statement; but she did not speak to the little prisoner, seeing " that she hardly dared to do so to her own children!" What a very hell upon earth must a union be, where motherly women and children, if they look awry, are liable to be punished! We now come to the evidence for the defence ; and, in the first place, a girl named Mary Walker is called. She declares that Emma was never locked up or punished for wetting her bed; and then admits that she was locked up, and says, moreover, that Emma Hearn den's sister released her. Another witness, one Sarah White, told so many lies for Miss Bailey and her father, as to de stroy her credibility. In fact, the evidence for the defence was a weak invention, and went far to support the charge. We have no wish to trhunph over a man whose guilt has now been proved beyond the possibility of doubt; but we must take credit to ourselves for having brought the matter to an issue most satisfactory to the ends of justice, but most damnatory to the reputation of the master and his amiable daughter. These exposures are calculated to do immense good. They tend to curb the vicious, and rein in those whose natures, if they were left alone. would outrage and disgrace humanity. Our reporter has especially noticed the conduct of Mr. De Lasaux, G. Austen, Esq., and Mr. Sharp, of the Castle Inn, who have been indefatigable in their endeavours to promote the ends of justice. Indeed, such has been the excitement at Canterbury, Herne Bay, and their neighbourhoods, that persons of all shades of politics, warmly pressed forward in behalf of the little girl who, it has now been proved, was so brutally treated at the instance of the master and his dauglr ter Betsy. DEATH OF SIR CHARLES FORSTER GORING BART. —We have to announce the demise of this respectabaronet, who expired at his seat, near Lewes, Sussex, on Tuesday last. Sir Charles was born in 1768, and married, in 1799.. Miss Dent, daughter of Mr. H. Dent, of Norfolk. He is succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest son, Mr. Harry Dent Goring, who represented Shoreham in Parliament, from 1832 to the late general election, when his brother, the present . Member, came forward in his place. FUNERAL OF LORD WM. HILL.—The interment of the mortal remains of the above highly-respected young nobleman, whose melancholy death has cast a deep gloom over the gallant regiment to which he belonged, took place on Wednesday last, at St. Mary Tower, Ipswich, when he was buried with military honours. The manifestation of ea teem and regret to the memory of the deceased, not only by the officers and privates of the Scots Greys, but also by the inhabitants of Ipswich and the local gentry and yeomanry., was beyond all expectation. At the general desire of the re-, giment, conveyed to the Marquis of Downshire through' Lieut.-Colonel Clarke, commanding the regiment, the funeral' accordingly took place at Ipswich instead of Easthampstead. : Berks. It is probably not within the recollection of the old-, est inhabitant of Ipswich that a military funeral on so im.- pbsing a scale ever occurred in that populous town, as the ; whole of the regiment were called upon to share in the mourn ful ceremony. The Marquis of Downshire, Marquis of Salis-1 bury, Earl of Hillsborough, Lord Sandys, Lord Edwin Hill,: Viscount Holmesdale, Hon. R. H. Clive, M.P., Colonel Clive,., Hon. Captain N. Hood, Sir W. Middleton, Bait, &c., bait previously arrived from the metropolis to attend the funeral. The inhabitants, without a single exception, closed their shops, so that business was entirely suspended till after tlit funeral was over.
