The (eject of the pioposed line (for which application will be made to Parliament in the ensuing session) is to supply an important link in a commtndcation connecting the town of Great Yarmouth and the Eastern Coast of the kingdom with the Western, Mialand, and .Northerii districts, accommodating in its progfess the city of Nor wich, the town of King's Lynn, Sutton Bridge, and the towns of Long Sutton, Hoibeach, Spalding, Boston, Spilsby, by Louth, and Grimsby. Commencing at the proposed terminus of the Lynn, Dereham, and Norwich Railway' at Lynn, the line will proceed by Sutton Bridge and the towns of Long Sutton and Holbeach to Boston, there con necting itself with the Boston Branch of the Cambridge and Lincoln line, which that Company have, in pnrsnance of a pledge given to the Board of Trade, agreed to carry lato effect : thence it will pro ceed through Boston, spilsby, and Louth to Grimsby, where it will connect itself with the Great Grimsby and Sheffield line. The Board of Trade having reported in Favour of the Newark and Sheffield line, that Company have announced their intention to ex tend their project from Newark to a junction at S/eaferd with the Cambridge and Lincoln line. It is also intended to extend the proposed line of railway from Hol beach to Spalding, there to form a junction with the Spalding and Stamford Branch of the Cambridge and Lincoln line,• which that Company have also pledged themselves to the Board of Trade to carry into effect. It cannot fail to be observed that the projected lines will together form the most direct, complete, and continuous communication between the eastern, western, midland, arid northern districts of the kingdom, will 'ring the important markets of Norwich and Man chester nearer to each other by fifty miles than by any other line of railway; and besides giving communication to the ports of Grimsby - , Boston, King's Lynn, Spalding, and Sutton Bridge, with the interior of the country, and with each other, will afford the greatest amount of local accommodation to the intermediate districts; in addition to which, these towns and districts will be placed on a through line to the metropolis, by their connexion with the Lynn and Ely' and the Northern and Eastern Railways. • From a survey recently made by Mr. Fulton of that portion of the line from Lynn to Boston, it appears there is no tunnelling, cutting, or embanking, of any importance necessary, and that the line will be practically a dead level. Under these circumstancest and from the investigation that has been made of the other portion of the line, it is confidently estimated that the proposed capital will be amply sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every con sequent expense, and the income derivable from the great traffic which must necessarily nrise, not only fl•oin' the transit of passengers, but from the transport of fish, as well as of corn, cattle, and other pro duce orthe great agricultural district through which the lines pass to the principal food-consuming districts, and Of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will afford an ample return for the proposed outlay of capita'. It is proposed to apply for the usual power to allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital from the date of each payment until the completion of the railway. A large proportion of the capital being already secured, it has . been determined to limit the period for receiving applications for the remaining Shares to the 21st instant, until which date applications will be received by the Solicitors and Parliamentary Agents, or by the undermentioned Brokers :—Messrs.

This undertaking will, in connection with existing and projected lines of railway, bring into immediate communication with Birming ham, and the whole midland and Northern Districts of England, the great mineral fields of Monmouthshire, as well as those adjoining Car diff and Merthyr Tydvil ; at the same time it will furnish to the im portant agricultural counties of Hereford, Worcester, Brecon, and Monmouth, a ready channel for the transmission of their produce to the dense population inhabiting the mineral districts of South Wales. The object of this company will be very materially aided, first, by the existing line from Cardiff to Merthyr: and, secondly, by the lines intended to be formed by the Welsh Midland Railway Company. The line will commence at Newport, and will thence proceed northward by Pontypool and Abergavenny to Hereford, where (in that direction) it will terminate. From Abergavenny a branch will extend eastward to Monmouth, and another westward to Brecon. From Brecon a'i extension will be made to Merthyr, to join the Taaff Vale Railway, ending at Cardiff. Thus will be established, in addition to a ftee intercourse with more distant localities, a complete chain of railway communication amongst the important towns and districts just enumerated, and which are now wholly unprovided in that respect. The portion of the line extending westward from I Monmouth will also promote the most direct passenger route that can be adopted from Monmouth to Carmarthen, and the South of Ireland. In addition to the main line and extensions above indicated, the Directors propose to place themselves in immediate communication with the proprietors of the most important works in the several dis tricts traversed, in order to fix the situation and the course of the minor branches, which will be necessary to complete the comprehen sive scheme of communication intended ; and to this object regard has been had in fixing the capital of the Company. The investigations which have been made on the subject of the traffic fully justify the conclusion that the undertaking is eminently calculated for the advantage and convenience of the public, and that it will prove a most profitable investment of capital. In conclusion, it may suffice to observe that it is well known that the scheme of a comprehensive system of inland communication in the districts in question has already engaged the serious attention of the tribunal appointed by the Legislature for the initiatory examina tion of railway projects; and the Board of Trade has, in its report on the Tring and Oxford schemes, fully recognised the great im portance and necessity of the chain of communication of which the present undertaking will form a material link in the ;011w:ring man ner :—" The accommodation of Herefordshire, Worcestershire, South Wales, and the important districts lying to the west of the present lines of railway will evidently, at no distant period, require not only a wide gauge railway along the southern coast, to place them in com munication with London, but also a narrow guage railway, to place them in direct and unbroken communication, through Birmingham, with the manufacturing districts and the great railway system of the rest of the kingdom." The engineering capabilities of the course of the line and exten sions have been ascertained to be excellent, and the capital proposed will be ample ibr the construction of the 125 miles of railway intended to be formed.

Its application entirely counter• acts those disagreeable appearances to which delicate skins are sub ject, more especially at this season of the year. It allays and averts discolottration and coarseness, at the same time rendering the skin beautifully white, smooth, and soft. The component parts are so perfectly harmless and simple in themselves, that those with the most delicate complexions may apply it with safety.

Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway Station, Hants, October 26, 1844. Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out of my bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, thiS mornin; able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must have died, and that it must have gene into my stomach. At that time I had resort to your fills, and they relieved me—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.- - ours truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY. Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the impor taut discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT A:CD RHEUMATIC mug, he efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and mem mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec tive for gout and rheumatism, in • all its various forms, including sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as tooth-ache, &c. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, And invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, tr other vital part.

DUPRE Z AT D BUR Y-L A•N E Duprez is delighting the public again Off the stage of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane ; And thousands admire the vocalist's skill, Which causes the house every 51cening to fill. The surprising effect which he / gives to a song Has met with unequalled success all along. Our reason for mentioning Duprez in print, Is clearly displayed in the following hint : This singer, whose voice can be rivalled by none, Should sing a choice song for E. MOSES and SON. Such extensive commercial achievements as ours Are rutted to such a choice vocalist's powers; What thousands of people would throng Drury-lane, If Duprez were to sing Messrs. MOSES a strain ; And how would the crowding assemblage rejoice, To hear him thus nobly employing his voice. A thing such as this might be very soon done, For the words could be written by MOSES and SON ; And the wonderful singer himself codld prepare A touching, a bold, and a suitable air. Such words and such music, with choice adaptation, Would obtain for the singer increased approbation ; And a merited honour would also be done To the trading achievements of MOSES and SON.

II Q Pa 4 . s o' J. - US .) a (Before Vice-Chancellor Wtotint.) The Court was occupied the greater part of the morning in hearing short causes. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK, &c.) Hort.SE STEALING.—John Parish, a butcher, pleaded guilty to the stealing of a horse, a cart, and harness, and a gelding, saddle and bridle. The robbery was committed in the most impudent manner. The gelding had been ridden by one of Mr. Giblett's men, of Bond-street, when delivering goods to the customers. The man had left it for a moment while he descended to the area of a gentleman's house. The prisoner leaped into the saddle and made off with the animal. The horse and cart was stolen in the same cool manner. The prisoner having. been an old offectier was sentenced to transportation for ten years. THE ST. GILES'S MURDER.—APPLICATION FOR POSTPONEMENT. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN and Mr. Baron PLATT.) Although it 'was generally expected that Joseph Connor would be put upon his trial this morning for the barbarous murder committed upon Mary Brothers, in the brothel in George-street, St. Giles's, the Court was not in the slightest degree crowded, even a smaller number than usual of the curious being in attendance. It looked in fact as if the public appetite for horrors had been completely sated with Tuesday's banquet. There was rot one stranger in the bench beside the Judges, and the only person who seemed in terested in Court was an artist engaged to tale the mur derer's likeness for some of the weekly illustrated journals. Precisely at five minutes after ten the Learned Judges Coltman and Platt entered the Court, and took their seats on the bench. On the name of' Joseph Connor being called, Mr. BALLANTINE, the prisoner's counsel, then rose and said—My Lords, in the case of the prisoner, Joseph Connor, whose name has just been called, and who, as your Lordships are aware, stands' charged for the crime of murder, I have to make an application that the trial be postponed until the next sessions. I have communicated with my learned friends who sare to conduct the case for the prosecution, and they are fully prepared to accede to my application. The ground on which that application is made has not been re duced to an affidavit, as it is only founded on a recent conversation I have had with the prisoner. It is stated by him that a person who knew where he was at the time this transaction was alleged to have taken place, is well known, and may be found and under such circumstances, I am sure your Lord ships will feel that in a case of such importance it is essen tial to the interests of justice, as well as to the prisoner, that Your Lordships should allow the case to be adjourned. Your Lordships are aware that sufficient time has not been allowed to bring the witnesses in the case forward, and in my hum ble opinion, supposing there is such a person as that men tioned by the prisoner, it would be highly improper to go to trial without the presence of that witness. Mr. BODKIN said should be sorry to try the prisoner under the circumstances stated by my Learned Friend, but he has certainly not made his application to the Court in the proper and formal manner. My Learned Friend ought to have supported his allegation by the affidavit of the prisoner. in the absence of which I should have thought that if I had consented to postpone the trial to some other day in the present session it would have sufficiently satisfied the justice of the case; but, still, if my Learned Friend wishes the trial post poned till the next session, I am extremely happy to accede to the application. The case is left entirely in your Lord ships hands. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, after conferring with Mr. Baron Platt, said that he did not think the application could well he objected to, and the application was consequently acceded to. The trial will not, therefore, take place until the next. sessions. The prisoner seemed relieved at the successful result of the application, and walked from the bar with a lightened step. lie was dressed in the same manner as at Bow-street, but the serious position in which he finds himself has apparently had its effect upon him, for his face does not now by any means exhibit the almost brutal indifference that it did when before the magistrate. John Slack, aged 28, cabman, and James flashy, aged 24, cabman, were indicted for feloniously assaulting Charles Green, with intent to commit a highway rob• bery, &e. In a second count of the indictment the in tent was laid to be to do some grievous bodily harm. The prosecutor, a clerk to a highly respectable com mercial firm in the City, had been dining with some friends on the 28th of February last, and indulged freely in wine. On his way home, somewhat the worse for his libations, he entered the Blue Boar public-house in Great Russell street, Bloomsbury, and called for a glass of gin and water. While the liquor was being mixed by the landlady, the prisoner Darby came in, and im portuned the prosecutor to hare a cab home, a pro posal which was refused by the prosecutor, who, however, tendered to Darby his glass to partake of. Darby did so, and asked "if he might not ask his mate in to partake." Assent being given, the prisoner Darby went to the door and called " Jack," upon which the prisoner Stack immediately presented himself and partook of the gin and water. In paying the landlady, the prosecutor exhibited a purse in a manner to be observed by both the prisoners. lie left the house, and on the instant was followed by Darby, who called to Stack to follow him. From the Blue Boar the prosecutor was dogged by both the prisoners. Shorily after twelve o'clock a policeman of the name of James Clarke was on duty in Crown-street, Soho, when he observed a cab standing at the end of Geo rge -y ar d, Crown-street. A man was sitting on the driving-seat, and as the policeman approached the vehicle th a t man , turning his head and directing his voice up George -yard, called out, " Make haste, here's a Bobby " (the cant word fur policeman). At almost the same instant an other man, who turned out to be the prisoner Stack, sprang upon the oab, and the other man (Darby), who was driving, immediately turned the horse's head round, and drove at a rapid rate towards Oxford-street. The policeman Cl ar k e pursued and stopped them, suspecting all was not right, but having satisfied himself by their badges and the number of the cab, which he found on examination to be empty, he permitted them to proceed. Clarke then went to George yard, where he found the prosecutor, Mr. Green, lying weltering in blood, and in a perfectly senseless state. It was found that a serious and dangerous blow, from the effects of which Mr. Grc en had not yet recovered, had been inflicted by some blunt weapon on the right side of the head, from which the blood was still profusely flowing. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners, and they were sentenced to be severally transported for the term Df 15 years. PIETY COURT. Henry Pratt, aged 25, was indicted for forging and uttering an order fore the payment of ten guineas, with intent to defraud J. Barnard and others. The pri soner was further indicted on four separate counts, charging him with fraudulently obtaining valuable pro• perty by means of false pretences. On being placed at the bar, the prisoner made an ap plication to the Bench, earnestly praying for a postpone ment of his trial until next sessions, in May; this request, however, the 'Court refused to grant. The prisoner, it will be fresh in the recollection of our readers, was lately examined before the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, when the whole of the particulars of the case were fully reported. It will be unneces sary, therefore, to state further than that the prisoner, whose movements proved him to be an adept at " rais ing the wind," went to a fashionable hotel, No. 4, Albe marle-street, and represented himself as being " Major Herries," the son of the Hon. J. C. Herries. He stated that he had just arrived from India, and that his luggage was at the Golden Cross. He then signed a cheque for ten guineas, on Messrs. Barnard and Co. ; which, on being sent to the banking-house, was honoured, and the prisoner received the money. The prisoner also paid a visit to Mr. Houlston, of 154, Strand, the publisher of the Horticultural Magazine, to whom he also represented himself as the son of the lion. J. C. Herries, and stated that he had a brother in Somerset-house, who was partial to horticulture, and to whom he wished some numbers of his magazine to be sent. In his defence, the prisoner said that he signed the cheque when in liquor ; but Mr. Williams, the landlord of the hotel in question, witnessed the signature, and de clared that he was perfectly conscious of the fact at the time. _ _ _ ---- The jury imuudiately found the prisoner Guilty, and the " Major " was sentenced to be transported for 10 years. HOCKER'S DEFENCE. The following are copies of the papers read by Hocker : " I beg to read to your Lordships and to the gentlemen of the jury two statements that I have furnished to my counsel through the medium of my solicitor. I have very carefully perused the depositions against me, and I fi n d not hi ng i n them to the truth of which"—: [At this point the prisoner hesitated, as if unable to read the manuscript. He repeated, " And I find nothing in them." He again stopped and gave utterance to a subdued but impa tient expression, as if annoyed at himsOlf for not being able to read more readily. After another lapse of nearly a minute he recommenced.] • " I have very carefully perused the depositions against me, and I see nothing in them of a serious and weighty nature to the truth of which I object. I wish to communicate to you all I have to say as calmly and dispassionately as possible ; and to that end I shall not attempt the least apology or de fence. I will state to you every circumstance connected with the depositions, leaving it for you to say whether they are consequential or not. The two grand questions are—how came my clothes to be saturated with blood ; and, how did I come into possession of the property of the deceased? The former I can answer satisfactorily to my own conscience; but no thing on earth s h a ll cause me to d i vu l ge i t, at least on this side of my trial.

The recent melancholy events which have disturbed the Diocese of Exeter, and which, it is feared, cannot be satisfactorily settled, have larg e ly contr i buted to establish the necessity for a Free Episcopal Church. The party within th e pale of the Establishment, who denounce the Protestant Reform a ti on, and labour without ceasing to subvert its principles, cannot b e sufficiently held in check in a diocese like Exeter, where they are notoriously favoured by the Bishop, without some large and determined effort to provide for the due celebration of the services of the Church, in conn ex ion with the faithful ministry of the Gospel,fee trorn the control of the ecclesiastical ruler. To provide then for those who have been driven from their paro chial edifices by the semi-popish teaching of the clergy, It has been felt needful to obtain ground hue. central part of the city, on which to erect a large and commodious ch urch ; the hall opened a few months since in Fore-street having proved quite insufficient to ac commodate the numerous congregation. Christ Church is now erecting In East Southernhay—one of the best situations in Exeter, and on the borders of the two populous parishes of St. SidwelPs and Trinity. It will be constructed to seat 1,400 persons ; tour hundred of the sittings will be free. The cost of the ground and building, with other expenses, will exceed 4,000/. The friends of Protestant truth throughout the country are re spectfully invited to sympathise with their brethren at Exeter, by aiding with their contrihu ions tt:is spirited undertaking. Au opportunity is thus afforded them, not only to strengthen the hands of a small band, who, trusting .n God, have commenced this work, but to record their attachment to those principles which have been esteemed the glory of Great Britain, and the distinguishing excellence of her religious institutions. Contributions for the Christ Church Building Fund will be received for Henry Crofts, Esq., the Treasurer, at the City Bank, Exeter ; and at Messrs. Roberts, Curtis, and Co., Bankers, London.

ATIONAL ANTI-CORN-LAW BAZAAR.- The Council of the League having determined upon holding a Bazaar in the Theatre Royal Covent-garden, London, in aid of the One Hundred Thousand Pounds Fund, beg to announce that it will OPEN on THURSDAY, May 8, for exhibition, and that on the succeed ing Monday, the 12th of May, the sale of articles will commence. Many of the large manufacturing towns having intimated that they Intend to furnish their stalls with articles illustrative, of their staple manufacture, such contributions will not be removed at the period of sale, but remain on view till the close of the Bazaar. Contributions may be forwarded. from the 15th of April to the Ist of May, addressed to George Wilson, Esq., Chairman, at the Theatre Royal Covent-garden, London, where all the requisite arrangements will be tnade for their reception. ..... . - As the inquiry is repeatedly made as to whether the articles sent to the Bazaar should have the prices affixed by the contributors, or by the Committee of Management in London, it is respectfully requested that, wherever practicable, the contributors themselves will affix their own prices to the articles according to the known cost of the raw materials, mad the additional value given by the labour subse quently expended upon them. Upon application, the Council will be happy to forward to any of the Local Committees, or individuals, who are ' preparing contribu tions, labels, on which may be placed the description of the article-- the price —and the name of the contributor. The Council also would earnestly urge upon their friends in the smaller towns and rural districts, where, from a variety of causes, it may not be practicable to obtain contributions in the shape of manu factured goods, or articles of taste or fancy, that efforts should be made to collect money contributions, and forward them before the Ist of May, as Bazaar purses in aid of the League Fund . • Such of the Local Committees as Intend to furnish a stall, are earnestly recommend to communicate with the Council without delay. Full particulars of the general arrangements will appear shortly. By order of the Council, GEORGE WILSON, Chairman. 67, Fleet-street, London, and Newall's-buildings, Manchester. April 3, 1845.

Hungerford Suspension-bridge open to the public on the 18th in The is to be stated, that I am so far conscientious, I have amongst some pri rate letters here, which I have had conveyed to me since. I came hither, one in which a desire is expressed to account for the manner in which my clothes were so besmeared ; and the person in his devotedness to me offers to forswear him self; but I would rather have this mysterious part of the alThir remain as it is, by leaving it in the hands of my counsel. I know while doing so I endanger my own safety, but I have urgent reasons for doing so. lf this gloomy affair terminate adversely, I die a martyr; if otherwise, by my taking a de fensive course, I live a traitor. This sounds paradoxical, pro bably, to your ears, but such is the fact, of which I excuse and pardon your disbelief until it be further evidenced to you. 1..wi1l therefore quit this part of the subject with this remark : .after such a paiufund ignominious exposure of everything connected with my present and former circum. stances, together with every vile and contumelious insult and misrepresentation, I can have no desire to survive the issue, be it ever so favourable to my innocence. I am ruined inevitably and irrevocably, and . I am too much the Englishman to fear death, whatever form it may. assume. But more to the matter. The deceased, Delarue, had frequently offered his services to me in the way of pecuniary assistance. (I ought, perhaps, to have told you that I had known the deceased for nearly two years.) It wan about six months after our acquaintance that he made. the first friendly overture of the kind, and it was something like two months f o ll ow i ng t h at I ac cepted it. H at that time gave me 4i. 10s., will& was the whole of the contents of his purse, accompa nied by the words, Rocker, never see me again if you once venture to return elle this trifle; I ant no friend of yours in your estimation if you view it as a loan merely' Last August I kept away from him for a month or tire weeks, on account of the shabby condition of my apparel. He took it unconfiding on my part that I did not acquaint him with my embarrassed circumstances, and he then good: heartedly insisted on my turning to the best advantage 51.. which he threw at. me, wishing he could punish' me its the same way right on for a whole day. Such was the nature of our intimacy. I have had 'property belonging to deceased of eonsideraiile value. A large telescope-1 shoul4 say worth I. or Al.—also a smaller one, and an opera glass, microscope, kc.—all of which he lent me at different times, and which 1 beiieve are to be found at his apartments now. 3ly parents, and several others, remember to have seen them. The deceased also entrusted me with a silver watch, a silver watchguard, and part of a diamond ring.. The part which contained the diamend only remained. I had to dispose of -them Thr 31. 17s. The deceased was anxious to make up a certain sum of money by a given time, and I understood the request as a delicate wish for me to pledge the article's for him. I got them pawned at a Mr. Richardson's, Henry street, Portland-town, for the required amount. The de ceased gave me the .duplieates, which I handed over to the officers when they searched my apartment. How I came with • the watch and .ring which the brother of deceaged identified was in the following way :—ln bur 'engagements of late deceased had. often been half an hour behindhaed. His watch, fur some time past, had performed irregularly. lie frequently struck it. with his walking-cane, in a momentary ill-humour, which accounts for the seconds pointer being gone. lie gave it to me to be cleaned and repaired for him, at the same time producing his ring, which W ale-apt been too large for his little finger, to be lessened, and for the .brilliant to be reset, which it needed, in consequence of an attempt to prove its genuineness, which he effected by removing the brilliant front its setting, and striking it with a hammer, having first placed it ou a stone for that purpose. He had used all his influence towards putting me into a comfortable situation, but bad failed until the morning of the day on which he was mur dered. I forgot to state that it was on this morning that de ceased gave the watch and ring to me. On that morning he saluted me in a pleasant air, and said he brought me good newishe hoped. - He then led me to think I should he a little better to do in a few days, but that he would acquaint me with more anon. -He provided me at the same time with, (what indeed •I had for some time expected) 12/. in gold. The deceased had so often lent me money that I was ash - lured to mention his name again to my parents ; I, therefore, forged a falsehood, and represented Mrs. Edwards as the donor. • 1 was in possession of the money in th e morn i ng , an d t h at sc• coants for my positively assuring my parents that I might hhve it. by calling on Mrs. Edwards in the evening. At seven o'clock in the evening of the Friday I went to the Swiss Tavern, and called for rum and water. 1 stayed there nearly three quarters of an hour. There was another man-- apparently a gentleman—in the room during the whole e.f the time, to whom I read portions of the day's newspaper. A candle was on the table, close by me, whiled was reading.. It was a bitterly cold night, and the fire was burning cheer fully. Tstboil in the front. of it for some time. hied my clothes at that time been disordered or bloody, the gentle man or the waiter must have seen it. The waiter remarked at the inquest, after failing to identify me, that the person who ordered the rum and water had white hands; he meant, at least, that they were not bloody. If I went anywhere to wash them, why suffer my clothes to remain as they were, and have the temerity to enter alighted public-house so near the spot? But it is not my place to write in this limner. I will proceed further. After I left the tavern I directed my path across the fields. in a line with the s p o t where the deed was committed, for it lay in roy way to the Hampstead road, whither I was going. As I approached Haverstock lield, whistling a merry tune, a policeman ran out from the hedge, and accosted me with the words Young gentleman, sad work here; here.', a dead man.' I immeoiately scaled the fence with him,- and asked him if he was sure the man was dead ? The policeman (Baldock) said, There was no doubt of it.' I felt the pulse of the deceased, It was still . . He remarked that the deceased was a . young man.- It was an awful spectacle, and we both wept. I felt quite sick and chilly, and told the policeman I should shortly take some brandy. I proposed to him to do the same. I continued with him and the deceased, without • offering to withdraw, for forty minutes. I told B a ld oc k that some months back I h a d been in the habit of crossing the adjacent field from Hampstead several times in a • week at a late hour in the evening, and that I usually carried a pocket stiletto as a life-preserver, which I showed him, asking him whether the possession of such an instru ment were illegal or not. He said he .thought not. Ile re marked that the blade was very bright. %Hock asked the time of the night. I Inked at the watch which has since been produced, and told him. Sergeant Fletcher and some four or live other policemen then arrived with a stretcher. Almost all of them addressed me on seeing me on the spot with Baldock. I accompanied the policemen, four of whom carried the corpse. I asked one of them if it were necessary for me still to attend them ; he said, if I could give no in formation, it would be useless. 1 had made an appointment' to be in Portland-place that evening. I found that I had al ready exceeded my time through remaing so long with Baldock. I left them with the corpse when I had got•as far as Church-row, Hampstead, and hastened towards my desti nation." [This appeared to be the conclusion of the first statement, , and the prisoner tookup another paper. After a momentary pause, he proceeded " 1 wish to explain to you as nearly as my feelings will suffer me, the nature of my pr esen t tr i a l , and to show you, that to attempt an extrication out of my misery, by a toll disclosure of everything connected with this sad affair, would be futil and fiendish. About a year ago I courted a young lady at Hampstead, whose pare n t s were hi g hl y genteel and respectable. 1 felt a great attachment to her; we met and loved in secret. I introduced myself to her parents shortly after my acquaintance with her. She was a beautiful girl, and I felt that I should be proud to introduce her to the man whom I looked upon as.myyery best, friend. At length I found an opportunity ufdoing so. The parents of the girl, finding that I had such a friend as Delarue, invited us both to see them. I had represented Delarne as a man of property, and in every sense of the word a gentleman. We frequently after wards visited the family together. What he lacked in man ner and address was compensated by his condition in life. which was so much more favourable than mine. Delarue betrayed me, and at length, after a long interview with the father, he refused me as a suitor to his daughter. Hence forth Delarue was the acknowledged lover, though discou raged by tke girl's indifference towards him. But time and assiduity accomplish everything ; he won her affections at last, end proved the genuineness of his heart to me and the girl by seducing her ! Yes, such a villain was the man who. though dead, I abhor; and now comes the catastrophe. A short period elapsed, and the parlnts suspected, by the girl's tears and Delarue's rude withdrawal, that all was not right. and subsequently the secret was divulged. Oh, picture to yourself the distraction of the parents of an only daughter in such a condition, and the thirsty revenge of an only brother who had been married honourably but five weel:e. Revenge was the theme alone that had any charms for him, and we all determined to have it, for I was dishonoured with the rest. They knew I could forge a lady'bliandwriting. I penned the note which was found on deceased's person, and sent it by a young woman whom Delarue knew. He at tended to the assignation, and was on the spot where he bad effected the ruin of an innocent creature, and where he met his fate. I and the brother accompanied each other till we came to llaverstock-field, when we separated ; he to the fatal spot, and I to the Swiss Tavern, which we appointed our rendezvous, but not until I had waited about for some time. I myself distinctly heard the cry of Murder.' I then knew the scene had commenced, but neither the brother nor I had any presage or thought of the issue. After waiting soma time.for him at the tavern, I hastened to Ilarerstock-field. This is the explanation of my anxiety to feel the pulse of the deceased, and my shedding tears when I witnessed the result of that revenge, which had not death for its object, but seriousmutilation. I hurried to the house of the perpetrator. who had flown there for refuge. I then took the whole upon myself, as I had been the principal cause of the tra gedy. • I immediately rushed from the house and sought a slaughter-house in Hampstead, and disfigured my clothe s i n 3 a ,. ( reo t, son Go f d or ., i mtiz i for the bloody state gentlemen, I cannot account of a pool of blood which I found handy. You see. ordeal in unison with my them clothes so— s I have mentioned no names to you ; and ob.. my wishes. ere wi is hou t t he gi d v i i ffi ng cult did you but see the state of mind I I cannot prove that I pass through the impending was not on the spot at the time of action, unless I, to save myself, who am innocent, bring to justice those who, as far as intention was concerned, are equally so. Am I sure that by such a course I should be free from imputation ? .And if they should turn their backs upon me —which it is in their power to do—what then would become of me? See how i am surrounded by difficulties? I will not say anything to acquit myself—that is at, the best only dubious; and which it calculated to involv e o th ers i n addition to myself. I cannot say more—my mind is a l most bewildered." The reading of this extraordinary statement caused the greatest astonishment in the Court. • HOCK ER'S CONDUCT SINCE HIS CONDEMNATION After the conviction of Rocker he was removed in an ex hausted state to the cell in the prison yard. He was received by the deputy governor, Mr. Wright, who had humanely di rected some tea and toast to be in readiness for him. 'these he partook of with much avidity, and gratefully acknow ledged the attention of the deputy governor. In the course of the evening he was visited by Mr. Davis, the ordinary, and exhorted to penitence and prayer. Kitman, one of the officers, sat up with D oc k er d ur i ng t h e night, which was passed by the wretched man in s oun d s l eep. Yesterday morning 'he awoke about seven o'clock, and ate a hearty breakfast ; but although he manifested much firmness, W - 3 spirits were evidently subdued by the solemn warning of the Judge to prepare to meet his Maker. In the early part of the morning he was visited by Mr. Sheriff Sydney, who had a lengthened interview with him in the presence of the deputy governor. At this meeting Rocker for the first time betrayed emotion, and he wept loud and bitterly. It is stated that his feelings were overcome on reference being made to his family, and that he made no allusion to do murder of the unfortunate man Detente.

I father had an interview with him on Thursday, but none of his relatives L a li" him yesterday. From letters that have been written by the convict, unhappy and which have fallen into the Governor's - bands, it appears that• he has made up his mind for the worst, as he expressed his determination t o "play the man." His exe cu ti on , it is said, will take place - on Monday ; the 28th - instant, and it is believed he will make' a confession. _ _ 4..5 r , ..ci.o -8,..f. .r. ____, j 3l ~205 6 0b Laa i l o CV for lilt so criP 189 3,601 616 934 291 673 2,791 4,510 1,836 997 1,804 16,419 5,544 17,976 1,046 4,046 1,069 1,032 5,593 3,789 7,016 10,737 1,193 1,503 397 1,402 5,141 372 676 4,234 837 279 2,484 137 1,208 404 2,339 4,287 1,563 880 1,320 14,080 4,385 15,282 1,131 3,389 401 1,341 3,576 3,086 6,091 8,188 - I .69S
