Widely as we differ in politics from the illustrious Duke—deeply as we deplore the steps he has taken to cancel the debt of gra titude which his country rejoicingly acknowledged to be due to him—we yield to none in regret that illness should confine him to Apsley House. At the same time we must state that if anv thing could console us for the absence of WELLINGTON, it would be the silence of LONDONDERRY. We question if even their Lordships would not bear the illness of the illustrious Duke with becoming Christian fortitude, had they an assurance that the Noble historian of the war in Spain would-henceforth close his mouth within sight of the Mace, and within hearing of the LORD CHANCELLOR. But as We already observed, we are as willing to fling up our bonnet and cry " Long live the Duke I" as any individual of any rank or station whatever within the dominions of WILLIAM IV. ; and therefore we trust his Grace will caution his hot-headed 'noble friend against intimating in future that his Grace's illness, or even death, would so much as curtail his Lordship's oratory. We give the Noble Marquis ample credit for the best intentions in the world; but really such a declaration as he made last night is equivalent to offering a reward to the Parliamentary time-economists to inflict some in jury upon the person of the illustrious Duke. Even LNYDHURST was observed to look aghast in an agony of terror at such an announcement, and immediately left the House—for the purpose, no doubt, of intimating to the Duke that his life had just been placed in jeopardy. Thank Heaven the Noble Marquis was not tempted to cite as the cause of his Lordship's silence some more obscure Peer than the Duke of WELLINGTON. Had he named a WIN CHIL SEA, a RODEN, or a WICKLOW, we would have counselled them in all earnestness to avail themselves of the spiritual assistance of, Dr. PHILLPOTTS, and prepared themselves for an appearance in the world of shadows. From a brief conversation that took place last night, in the House of Lords, _we perceive that the second reading of the Imprisonment for Debt Bill is postponed to next Friday. On the same night, too, the question of the Stamp Duties comes again under the consi deration of the House of Commons. We cannot help thinking that great indifference has been shown to both these measures—and more particularly to the latter, which, from Mr. SPRING RicE's•ovvn assurances last y e ar, we had reason to believe would have been carried early in the Session. To-day is the sth of July—the very ;lay on which the New Newspaper Stamp Act was to have come into operation ; yet here it is, " dragging its slow length" through the Commons, with but faint prospect of being brought to any imme diate satisfactory settlement It is not our wont to complain ; but, really, this is a grievance that might justify the adoption of very severe language. Had _Ministers acted as they ought to have done—and as they could have done, had they been so inclined—the 131,11 might have been passed weeks and weeks ago. They m ight easily have detached it from the other parts of the complicated Stamp machinery, and made it a se parate measure, which, of course, would have sim plified its details, and facilitated its progress through the House. Justice to the Stamped Press re quired that Ministers should show zeal and promptitude on the subject ; but unfortu vately they have chosen to be tardy and almost apathetic, to the great inconvenience of the T ra d e , whose expectations would appear only to have been rai se d, in order that they might be proportionably da rap e d_ We have heard many complaints, and re ceived many letters on this subject, which last breathe unifpinly a spirit of bitter disappointment. Have not the recent proofs they have seen of its danger, cured the Whigs of the folly of procrastination ? What broke up the GREY Administration, but its innate propensity to toddle on like a sickly child in a go-cart, when it should have boldly stepped out like a man ? Something of the same propensity—we say it more in sorrow than in anger—is still visible even in the present Government. It conceives boldly, but it exe cutes feebly. It means well, but there it is too apt to stop, not knowing apparently, that faith without works is but as " sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal." If individuals were as slow to derive wisdom from experience as Governments, GOD help poor human nature I For their own sakes, even more than for our own, we would strongly exhort Ministers henceforth to do what they have to do, promptly and intrepidly ; to fling procrastination to the winds, and take energy and self-confidence as their guides of action. Indolence and timidity never yet benefited a Government, though they have ruined dozens. Mr. SPRING RICE is paying but a sorry compliment to the people—on whose orderly disposition he professes to place such implicit reliance —by his delay in reducing the Stamp Duties. His practice here appears diametrically- opposed to his professions, else wherefore such procrastination ? We now quit the subject, which we have entered upon most reluctantly, and to which we hope we shall not have again to return=at least in the spirit of dissa tisfaction. An Evening Contemporary of yesterday observes— "We have been informed that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, on being asked by several Members of the Commons, whether it was intended by Minis ters to propose an adjournment of the Session till Oc tober, 'replied that no such intention existed ; but from present arrangements, he calculated that Parliament would be prorogued about the 10th or 12th of August." We believe that just now Ministers are undecided how they shall act in this matter, for they are completely at the mercy of circumstances. A week or ten days hence, however, they may perhaps be able to come to 'some decision. It will be seen by our Parliamentary report that the Tories contrived to get up a debate last night on the old story, the appropriation clause of the Irish Tithe Bill. They did this not from any hope of altering the deci sion of the House of Commons—that, they knew, was past praying for—but they were aware'that some of the Members who support Ministers on that ques tion were out of town, having leave of absence, and they thought that if there should be a smaller majority in favour of the appropriation principle than on the last division, it would afford them and their hire lings of the' Press an opportunity of . crowing and clapping their wings in testimony of victory. This was their plan of tactics, and accordingly as the majority turned out to be as every one knew it would a few less (13) than it was on the 3d of June, they pretend to be in extacies that a decided change of opinion has taken place in the House of Commons since that period ! To what straits must. men be driven, who can have recourse to such shallow su7)ter fuges, to keep up a delusion among their dupes in which they themselves do not partake ? Every body knows that the- that of strength took place at the last discus sion. It was understood that the " principle "OCth e Bill, that is, the great principle of appropriation, was to stand or fall by the issue of that debate which con • tinned for three days, and terminated, as we the: stated, in a decision in favour of that principle, by : greater majority than had ever before sanctioned i. The affair of last night cannot, therefore, affect tli state of the question in the mind of any one who allow himself, or is allowed by his masters, the privilege o' thinking. So very unimportant did it appear to Sir - - ROBERT PEEL, that he did not think it worth his while to attend the House, and the leadership pro hac vice descended upon the shoulders of Lord MAHON, a person who, we have been told, held some subordi nate office under Government during the ephemerdl exist ence of the clap-trap Administration, and who, no doubt, thinks that a sufficient reason for dubbing himself a statesman. The mantle of the leader, however, did not descend with the office. Sir ROBERT PEEL, to do him justice, seldom talks nonsense ; and though we cannot laugh as often as he tries his hand at a joke, yet he is not a tiresome speaker. If he is not a first rate orator, or a profound statesman, he takes a busi ness-like view of a subject, and makes the most of the modicum of intellect which nature has assigned him. But Lord MAHON ! Lord deliver us from Lord MAHON ! If ever it should be our fate (which Heaven forefend 0 to be brought to the bar of the House of Commtms, we should of all things most de- precate being defended by Lord MAHON. The strongest argument that the Noble Lord could find for the maintenance of the present monstrous state of eccle siastical 'natters in Ireland was this :—" Suppose," says he, in some parish in England in which the great majority of its inhabitants were Dis senters, that they should call for a diversion, of Church property, what would the authors of those complaints say to their own principle of legis lating for this country and Ireland on precisely the same terms." Now, with all submission, we would beg to remark that the cases are a little out o f p ara ll e l. We in our turn would ask the Noble Lord what would be the fate of the Church of England at this Moment, were her members limited to a twelfth of the po pulation ? Would there be any debating about what should be (lone with such an establishment ? The principle of -an establishment, as explained by its ablest defenders, rests on this, that the religion, established is that of the majority, and according to this essential rule the established religion in Ireland ought to be the Roman Catholic. As to the assertion that the small success' of Protestantism in Ireland has been owing to the penal laws against Catholics, it is true enough ; but why have the penal laws so operated, but because they made Protestan- tism hateful to the Irish ? On the Noble Lord's own principle, then, let him remove from Irish Pro testantism that which must ever render it de testable in their sight—the gross injustice and op pression of making the mass of the community sup port a Church whose doctrines they conscientiously abhor, and whose ministers squander in idleness and luxury the money wrung from a starving people. _ _ Mr. SHELL'S speech was out of all measure the best delivered on this occasion. Though evidently ut tered on the spur of the moment, it is full of passages of superior eloquence: Lord STANLEY was as usual smart and pert withal. The Noble Lora took occasion to speak disrespect fully of Mr. O'CONNELL, who, we are bound to say, far exceeded the bounds of propriety in his reply. For the particulars of the extraordinary scene, which inter rupted the debate, we must refer to our report. A curious correspondence, in its way, has taken place between Commodore HENRY, an English post-captain, now Commander of the steam-boat, Donna Isabella IL off St. Sebastian, and the Secre tary of the Spanish Minister of Marine. The whole of the officers and seamen of the steam-boats, Isabella 11., and the Reyna Gobernadora, being on the 19th of April last, without pay for six months, the Com modore addressed the Government, requesting that money should be remitted to pay the men. To this request no answer was returned ; and on the 4th inst. —the men becoming impatient, and being in THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1836. great want of money Commodore HENRY again addressed the Minister of Marine, requesting his Excellency to remit the necessary supplies. To this letter M. GALIANO replied, through his Secre tary, that the letter of the Commodore was not suffi ciently respectful, and 'that the Commodore being in the service of the Queen of SPAIN, his letters could not be received unless written in Spanish ! To this insolent communication \ Commodore HENRY returned the following answer : " San Sebastian, June 25. " Your Excellency—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's letter of the 13th instant. " I presume your Excellency cannot be aware that I have the honour to serve her Catholic Majesty under a particular contract, in which Article 11 particularly specifies that the rules and regulations of British Royal Navy are to be my guide on all points of service. I, regret your Excellency should have considered the letter I had - the honour of ad dressing your Excellency as wanting in respect. On re perusing the letter, I cannot find any part that appears to me to bear an offensive or disrespectful expression. I have submitted it to the opinion of Commodore the Right Hon. Lord John Hay, who commands the British squadron on the north coast of Spain, and whose authority I have for stating that my letter to your Excellency, bearing date the 4th instant, is in strict conformity with the rules and regulations of the British Royal Navy with regard to official letters. I have had the honour of addressing several public letters to her Catholic Majesty's Government, awl I assure your Excellency that I have never been requested to write in the Spanish language until now. And I beg further to point out to your Excellency that, be ing a foreigner and an officer in the British navy, and solicited by her Catholic Majesty's Ambassador in Lisbon to enter the Spanish service, and as it appears my services do not give satisfaction to her Catholic Majesty's Government, I am quite ready, as well as the whole of my officers, seamen, and marines, to quit her Catholic Majesty's service whenever her Catholic Majesty has no further need of our services.—l have the ho nour to be, your Excellency's most obedient humble servant, FREDERICK HENRY. To his Excellency the Minister of Marine, &c. What effect this spirited missive will have upon the nerves of the mushroom Minister GA LIANO may be easily conceived. Those who are acquainted (and who is not ?) with the state of the QUEEN'S coffers will readily perceive that this shallow, shuffling, and dis honest trick of etiquette was got up to save the credit of a Cabinet unprovided with a real to pay the wages of the hired servants of her MAJESTY. But all ho nest men will see through such miserable quackery ; and the Cabinet of IsTußrz may be assured that such thimble-rig policy will not promote its interests in this country. At the same time, it may be as well to re mind General EvANs.that the British Legion stands a fair chance of being no better treated than the Ma rines—unless he bestir himself, now that he has the• ball at his foot. CORDOVA is his enemy; and should he prevail, the Legion will be treated no more farour-. ably than CABRERA'S Arragonian band—now the deadliest enemies of the QUEEN and of her cause. The Muni/ear of Sunday, which we have received the other French papers of the same date, contains the following account from Spain : " On the 27th of June 1,500 of the rebels invaded Spanish Ccrdane ;- they evzcuated it on the 28th, and went into the direction of Castellar de Nuch. Ros i§l'Erolles was at o!ilna with his band. Brigadier Sanz occupies Organia, which he is engaged in fortifying. It is stated in a letter of the 29t,!:. that a Carlist division which had attempted to invade the A ~ .;- , :ri;,s,,has'been repulsed; it suffered greatly by desertion. C,r,lova, on his arrival at l'ampclun.t, gave orders that the hole of the forces of the neighbourhood should be. conceit 'here on the 30th." , C i'i:i i. Tills is the only intelligence from Spain contained 'lcse papers. With respect to ALIBEAU, his will commence on Thursday. lie will be de iLd by M. PAILIIES, the Advocate.' We have fore us a copy of the Report made by the Peers' ommittee, but it contains no new fact on the .sub :!t of his guilt or personal identity PAills, JULY 3.—One of the Vice-Generals of the Arch iiop of Paris waited yesterday on, the Keeper of the Seals th the circular addressed to the Parish Priests of the diocese Paris. We are assured that M. Sauzet had previously bad a con rence on the subject in the proper quarter, and that he ex :cessed his great regret that with a singular affectation the 'lrchbishop has not thought fit to give to the head of the State ,he title of King. With such neticences, said the Minister, the clergy does us more harm than the Secret Societies ; but y'ur order with which we desire to consolidate our institu tions by discriminating such language, says plainly that we are wrong in depending on it, which is very imprudent. A despatch from Milan, dated 22th June, announces that the Princes:had just received the news of the attempt on the King's life on the 25th, upon which they immediately set out for Paris. A dispatch from Lyons, dated July Ist., announces that the Princes had arrived there at half-past 4 o'clock. The Duke of Orleans was immediately waited upon by the superior officers of the garrison and others whom lac caused to be invited to dinner. Their Royal Highnesses left Lyons in the evening, to pass the night at Tarare. They quitted that town this morning, and w►ll sleep to-night at Ne vers. The Princes are in good health, and they will be at Paris to-morrow or the day following. The National pub lished a letter which it has received from Oran, which says, "We shall send out to-morrow our new expedition, We are not acquainted with all the projects of Gen. Bugeaud, but it is much feared that they are not in due proportion with the means which he employs to carry them into effect. He talks by speaking of the Arabs as a rabble to be driven away with ships, &c. He is continually making speeches about the share he had in the wars under the Emp►re as Commander of a Battalion. We shall see at the end of the clmpaign whether the deeds of General Bugeaud are to be taken more in earnest than his eloquence. "—Messager, July 3.

An in quiry into this subject is of great importance to all persons who have transactions in Shares, as such a rule is considered of necessity to violate truth, operate injuriously and deceptively upon the final and bona fide purchaser, and encourage specula tion by intermediate agents.

STATE or WEAVING IN PERTH.--We are happy, to have to state, that the weaving trade here is in a more prosperous condition than it has been for many years, and the hand-loom weavers are participating in the improve ment.—Glasgow Herald. Hay harvest commenced in this neighbourhood last week in a field at Barnhill, and the weather being on the whole favourable, it was on Monday last in the tole. This week cutting is pretty general, and the produce is much heavier than could have been anticipated, previous to the late rains ; on the whole, it is considered to be about an average crop.—Perth Courier. We understand that a magnolia macrophylla is in blossom in the garden of the Hon. Heneage Legge,near Rich mond, and is shown by the gardener on application.

SIR WALTER SCOTT.—On Saturday afternoon, at three o'clock, a public meeting of noblemen, gentlemen, and subscribers to the Abbotsford fund, was held at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street, for the purpose of appro priating the funds collected to their final object, of securing, as far as may be possible, the estate of Abbotsford, the library, armour, and antiquarian collections, to the family of the late Sir W. Scott. The meeting was well attended. Lord Ma hon was called to the chair. The recommendation of the com mittee respecting the disposal of the Abbotsford subscription having been read by the Chairman, several gentlemen ad dressed the meeting, when it was afterwards determined that the sum subscribed, being about 7,200/. net money, be paid to the trustees after named; Sir Walter Scott agreeing to exe cute a deed of entail on the estate and mansion of Abbotsford, and of the library, antiquarian curiosities, and other objects relating thereto, upon the descendants of his father; these trustees applying 5,6001., or more, if necessary, of the said sum of about 7,200/., in ischarge of the 5,000/. and interest which with the library, antiquarian collection, and other articles aforesaid, may be chargeable, and retaining the residue to be applied by them, hr. , eafter, towards the payments of the he ritable bond of 10,0001., for which the estate is now liable, and Sir Walter Scott executing an assignment to the same trustees for the share of the literary property belonging to the family to be applied to the same purpose. A report similar to that which prevailed respecting the plague having broken out in Tottenham-court-road, (and which was so satisfactorily contradicted) at present exists in the cast of London, and has excited much alarm. It appears that a respectable surgeon of Mile end, (one of the parochial doctors), was attacked by a malignant disease, which be states lie contracted by attending a poor woman who suffered under core throat. For some time his life was despaired of, but he is now recovered. His housekeeper, however, was similarly attacked, and she died in fifty hours. She was a fine strong woman, 29 years of age. From these circumstances a report was raised that the plag ue had broken ou t i n t h e h ouse , an d that twenty persons had died in consequence,—which is likely not only to do considerable injury to the gentleman alluded to, but to create alarm where there is not the slightest foundation for it.

AQUATICS. THE DUKE OF BUCCLEUCH'S GRANDREGATTA.—That " the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong," was fully exemplified in the match of yesterday. That the victor is a good man, and that he possesses unquestionable game, is certain, but that he was opposed to men of superior tactics— of strength that could overwhelm any man of his weight—that he ought never to have been pitted against, where a reason able comparison could exist is certain, and yet he has won. Watts and Norris were taken 'for choice against " the field." Jem Castles was deputed Master of the Ceremonies. The men were placed for the grand heat 20 minutes past 8. They had been thus entered : FIRST HEAT.—T. Royal, Millbank, orange; Phelps, Ful ham, green ; Norri s , H unger f or d, s car l et ; W atts, Waterloo brige, black ; Ellis, Wapping, lilac. SECOND HEAT.—Cobb, Putney, pink; Brown, Greenwich, white ; Bartlett, Vauxhall, dark blue ; Lewis, Horsleydown, yellow; Coombes, Millbank, light blue'. The contest was the strangest affair, both in heats and dis tances, that ever was se e n i n a wager ab ove b r id ge . Th ere were our heats for the ten pair of sculls, just one more than any reasonable person would contemplate. Five started for the first heat, the same number for the second, then the three last of each of these heats went of for the third heat, and the two best of these started with the two first of first, and the first of the second heat, for the fourth and final heat. The distance was to start from Hungerford, round a boat moored off Mill bank, round a boat off the Adelphi, back round a boat off the House of Lords, back round the boat off the Adelphi, and finish facing his Grace's house. Phelps and Watts won the first heat, and Coombes one of the winners of the second coming in close astern of Bartlett. The last heat was admirably described : it was " awfully ambi guous ;" it was merely reversed. At 20 min. past eight Watts, Phelps, Bartlett, Norris, Coombes and Lewis were placed for the grand beat. On the signal being, given the start was like lightning. Each did all he knew, and were scull and scull. Bartlett and Watts fouled. Coombes went in close to the flag boat, astern of Norris, and Watts was turned out. Norris led the way up, but he went too far out in the tide, and facing Whitehall-stairs, Coombes had just got his head in advance of the others, when Norris resigned. Coombes won by half a minute, Phelps was the next, Bartlett 45 seconds after him, and Watts a minute later.—Never was a match so hardly con tested; or in which the changes were so singular.

My steps have been ar rested by beautiful spots--by savage spots—by treat and luxurious cities ; a week, a month, I could spend in many—a year in some, and spend it happily ; but not life—not all my days. This may be prejudice, but it is the only prejudice I have no wish to part with. I know of no pleasure that will compare with going abroad, except one—returning home. I pity English colonists wherever I find them, whether at Tours, or Pau, or Lausanne, or Brussels, or Nice, or Florence. They all talk of delightful climates, and delicious wines, and cheap living, and excellent society; and yet, I believe, there may be but two, or one, among them all, who, if they dared to appear poor, would not turn their backs upon the climate, and wines, and society of foreign lands, and seek the shores of England. Travelling is a charming recreation, but, after all, England— to an Englishman—is the only country to live in.—Derwent Conway's Tour in Switzerland, 6-c. Fairlop Fair, which Commenced on Friday, conti nued, with all its fun and merriment, until Sunday evening. The " sports and pastimes " were extremely rational, and the order and simplicity with which the amusements and recrea tions of the vast assemblage of the people conducted themselves would have commanded the approbation of even Sir Andrew Agnew. In addition to the strait-jacket and pantaloons, Ali beau's head has been wrapped in a thick turban, in order to prevent him from destroying himself by dashing his head against the wall. His legs have also been tied, so that he can take only very short steps.—Galignani's Messenger. MR. COOPER'S " EXCURSIONS IN SWITZER LAND."-" These two entertaining volumes may be read with advantage by those who prefer the honest .description of th e scenery, politics, &c., of a country, given in the f u ll sp i r i t of the first impressions they make upon an imparti a l o b server, to that monotonous sameness which constitutes the character of one-half the books which annually is sue f rom the press, Knowing by delightful experience (as what reader doe not ?) the great descriptive powers of Mr. Cooper, we may safely conclude that whoever peruses them will do s o w ith an ad ditional satisfaction when he reflects that they are described by the same pen which has drawn such animated portraits of man and of nature before. When h o ram bl es t h roug h on e of the most romantic : portions of the Old World with one who has faithfully painted many of the beauties of the New, he cannot fail to read with peculiar zest the description of the varied feelings with which such a man viewed the natural grandeur of Switzerland. It is, indeed, a most lively narratlye of travels,"— Times. RAILROADS ON THE CONTINENT The Railway system, whiCh has excited so much interest in England and America, is now beginning its progress through. out the Continent of Europe; in Belgium they are already in highly profitable operation, and in France and Germany many projects on an extended scale are matured, and ,will be shortly carried into effect. The International Railway, by which it is proposed to form a line of communication by way of Calais or Boulogne to Lille, Paris, and Brussels, is that which more immediately interests the British public. _ _ This work is brought forward by a union of English, French, and Belgian capitalists, and with the sanction of the Govern ments of the countries through which it will pass. It is ob viously a work of the utmost importance to England, not only as connecting it with Paris 'and Brussels, but ultimately with the other privcipal capitals of Europe. The improvements which are in progress in the harbour of Dover, and the South- Eastern London and Dover Railway, for which an Act has just received the Royal Assent, will combine to render Dover most important as an outport. If the journey from London to Paris be reduced, as it is predicted that it will be, to thir teen or fourteen hours, and that to Brussels to eleven or twelve hours, we may readily believe the number of travel lers will be prodigiously increased. The intercourse with the Continent, by way of Dover, is already great, and has rapidly augmented within the last few years; but when these new facilities shall be given on both sides of the Channel, Dover will probably become one of the greatest thoroughfares in the world. A. CHILD DRO WNED by its MOTHER ( Abridged from the Essex Herald.) On Thursday last an Inquest was held at the Ship public house, Maldon, before W. CODD, Esq., Coroner, on the body of Mary Ann Prentice, a child about five years old, which had been found drowned in a pond in the Hilly Field, in the parish of St. Peter's. The case excited much interest in the neighbour hood, it being evident that the child had been drowned by its mother, the widow of a hairdresser in the borough, about thirty years of age, who was taken from the pond at the same time, under circumstances which led to a suspicion that she was insane- Peter Lodwick Burchell, apprentice to Mr. Tomlinson, surgeon. I was called yesterday about four o'clock from Mr. Tomlinson's hay field, which adjoins Mr. Pettit's Hilly field ; Mr. Ashley asked me to go down, for there was a woman drowned. I went down to the pond and saw a child lying on her back on the ground, and on the left hand side of the pond. The woman was sitting further on towards the river. I partly undressed the child and used pressure on the chest and stomach, for the purpose of inflating the lungs : the body was icy cold. I said, on putting my hand to the heart, " there is no pulse." I considered the child quite dead ; if the bellows had been used it would have killed the child, as there was duck weed in the trachea; a great deal of water escaped from the mouth on laying the head sideways and using pressure. The child was taken awalj , in about a quarter of an hour. I asked the woman wherel;er clothes were ? She said she did not know. I asked her why she did it—(meaning putting the child in the water)—she did not answer. She was of very wild aspect, but made no reply. Nothing more was done for the child, it was certainly dead. The mother is not in a situation to be sent for here, she is in a very low way, her nerves have received a great shock. Gave her medicine. I should not say she is very ill, but she is not fit to come here. Thomas Phillips, hair dresser—l am in the service of Mrs. Prentice, as assistant; I have been with her two months on Saturday. She had been in the house the greater part of the morning of Wednesday; between twelve and one she called the child to her and went out. She said, come Mary Anne, lam going fur a walk; the child seemed very pleased and highly delighted. Mrs. Prentice had been in tae house about an hour and a half; she went out of the house and turned to the right ; she had been in a low nervous deplorable way all the morning, and for several weeks, often saying, what would become of her and her children ? Mr. Prentice has been dead about ten weeks. Rachel Tabor, widow_l saw Mrs. Prentice when she was brought into the workhouse, between five and six o'clock on the Wednesday' night ; she was in bed and appeared to know me, but she did not speak. I saw her again on the Thursday s between three and four o'clock • when I went i n an d saw I ra . in a state I nev er b e h e ld her before, and I said, who wrz.uld have thought of seeing you in this situation. She relied, " I am a wretch—a miser a bl e wre t c h." I t h en said " Oh, dear 1 where is poor Mary Ann ?" (meaning the chiht.) She said it was dead - on which I ask e d h er h ow i t came about ? She said "we both went into the water together." I said, not with the intention of destroying your child. She replied, " Oh, yes—that the Lord had kept her !" I then said to her again, " you did net intend to drown her—she only slipped. in?" To this she replied, " Yes, I took her in, and the greater will be my punishment." It was stated that there was no doubt Mrs. Prentice was insane—to prove which five or six witnesses could be. produced. Her mother and sister, it was added, had ber m insane. The Jury aga;n consulted, and eventually returned with, the following verdict, which 12 of them had agreed to sigrj, but three would not— " We are of opinion that Mary Prentice caused thf.: death of Mary Ann Prentice, by drowning her in the r,ond at the bottom of the Hilly Field,—the said Mary Vrentice not being in a sound state of mind when she committed the act." The Coroner said in his opinion this amounted to a verdict of acquittal, but finding that it was the determination of the: Jury not to recede from the principle of this decision,, he con— sented to receive it. It was then understood that Mrs. Prentice shilult remain in custody at the workhouse till the legal effect of this verdict had been ascertained, when, if necessary, th e M ag i strates should examine witnesses, an d commit her on suspicion or, the murder. Mrs. Prentice when taken from the water, had 11. Ms. in her pocket. She remains in a wretched state of mind. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.
