(Continued from our Afternoon Edit'on.) CARPUE V. THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action brought by Dr. Carpue against V e Lon don and Brighton Railway Company, to recover compensation for the injuries suffered by him in consequence of the accident. which occnrred about two years ago, in the Copyhold Cutting, to one of the trains by which Dr. Carpue was passenger. The case was tried before Lord Denman in the sitti n g s after Michael mas term, 1842, and the jury had found for the plaintiff for verdict aside. Gene and a new trial had e ral a had afterwards obtained r a2asor nonsuitul. Ile a nisi am thoe So l the n h t e he d ground ofmisdirection by the Learned gentered,es to. si: Judge, and also on the ground tha t the action had not been com menced within the time limited by the Act of Parliament, and also that the proper notice of venue as required by the Act had not been given. Lord DENMAN having read the notes of the evidence, and of the summing up, said that it would perhaps be more conve nient for the Court to hear the arguments on both sides as to construction of the limitation section of the Act of Parliament before proceeding to the other points. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then proceeded to show cause against the rule, contending that the 253 d section of the Brigh ton Railway Act was never intended to apply except with re ference to the Parliamentary powers of the Company to make and continue the railway, and not to that business, the business, namely, of carriers, which that Company carried on in common with any other persons who went upon the railway. If their Lordships would look at the declaration they would see 1 that the action had been brought against them as carriers, and not as proprietors of the railway. It had been brought against them, not as a railroad company, but as persons entitled in common with all her Majesty's sub jects, to carry on the business of carriers. The declaration stated that they were propiietors of a certain railway, and of eertain carriages used thereon, for the purpose of conveying goods and chattels, and passengers, upon the said railway ; and also upon certain other railways, to wit, upon the London and Greenwich railway, and upon the London and Croydon railway. Now, upon the London and Greenwich railway, and upon the London and Croydon Railway they were only carriers, and it would be odd if it should be held that they were under a dif ferent contract with their passengers with regard to that por tion of the journey which was performed over the London and Greenwich or the London and Croydon, and that which was performed over the London and Brighton Railway. The action had been brought against them as carriers, and as carriers only. They had contracted to convey the plaintiff upon other railways besides their own, and the contract was one entire contract, and the section of the Act of Parliament with regard to the limita tion of the iisne for bring ing the action, and to th e no ti ce of venue did not apply. Thy were sued as carriers, and as car riers they were responsible for travelling at a rapid rate when the state of the railway was such as to render such a rate of tra velling dangerous. As carriers they were bound to know that the state of the road was not safe. If they were proprietors as well as carriers, they had the better means of knowing the state of the read. The 253 d section of the Act applied to them only as proprietors, and not as carriers. The action had been brought against them as carriers, and therefore the 253 d section of the Act did not apply. Mr. HAYES and another followed on the same side. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL in support of the rule contended hat the action had been brought against the defendants as proprietors of the railway, and not as carriers. The evidence which had been given at the trial had been given to prove the faulty constrnction of the railway—now, if the action had been brought against them as carriers only, the evidence would 36 not apply to the case. In the summing up the Learned Judge had stated that the plaintiff was not bound to prove the cause of the accident, inasmuch as the defendants having the whole con -34tr0l of the railway, negligence was to be pre s u me d aga i ns t th em in case of accident, and they were bound to show that the kaccident had not been occasioned by any negligence on their part. The case, had the trial proceeded, rested entirely upon the 34 assumption that the defendants were the proprietors of the railway. If it had not proceeded upon that assumption, there would have been no case to go to the jury. The statement in the declaration was that the defendants were the proprietors .., and owners of a certain railway ; now, that statement could not have been made against any other of her Majesty's subjects u carrying on the business of carriers. The averment was that 4 the accident had occurred on the railway of which the defend ants were proprietors. It was as proprietors only that the action had been brought against them, and as such they were entitled to notice. Mr. Justice PATTESON— The section says that they shall .34 be entitled to notice in case of any action brought against them ) for anything done or omitted ti be done, in pursuance of the 1 Act. Now, as at present advised, Ido not see that taking e i , people into carriages as passengers, driving them negligently, and breaking their necks, can be called an omission. It is do ' ing something cal elessly, n o t om itti ng to d o, an d certa i nly i t i s ' 74 not anything done in pursuance of the Act. A clause of this 1 % sort ought to be construed very strictly. 1 The SOLICITOR-GENERAL submitted that the 'action had % been brought against the Company for having omitted to keep the read in proper repair, that that was an omission within the meaning of the 253 d section of the Act, and that, therefore, they were entitled to the notice. He therefore submitted that the rule for a nonsuit must be made absolute. Mr. SWANN followed on the same side. The Court.r then called upon the Attorney-General to pro ceed with the other branch of the argument, but it was ulti % mately arranged that the argument in that p ar t o f t h e case should be deferred until to-morrow, as the Solicitor-General was obliged to leave the Court. HARE V. BARSTOW. % This was an action brought by Sir John Hare, against the Secretary to the Yorkshire Insurance Company, to recover the amount of insurance alleged to be due to him for the damage done by fire to his oil mills, situated in Bristol, which 34 had been insured by the Society. The defendant had con tended that the insurance having been effected op the oil mill, Jr the plaintiff et:mid only recover 2761., the amount of damage *-!,5i done to that portion of the premises used for crushing linseed, which sum was paid into Court, and that he had no right to '134 recover for damage done to any other portion of the premises. ) The case was tried before Lord Denman at the Guildhall in A 1842, and the jury had found for the plaintiff for 2201. , The I Attorney-General had su b sequently obtained a rule nisi for a i_ 4 , nonsuit, on the ground that t he re was no evidence to go to the jury, or for a new trial, on the ground that evidence had been r34 N admitted as to the value of the machinery, whi c h w as inad miscible. Mr. ERLE now showed cause against the rule, and contended that it was aquestion for the jury to decide whether the term " oil ) mills" was used for the purpose of deiignating the whole of the premises, or for the purpose of designating that portion only which was used for crushing 'linseed; and it would be seen from the proposal that the term oil-mills had been used to de signate the entirety of the premises, which were known in % Bristol as Hare's oil-mills ; neither could there be any doubt that Sir John Hare had intended to effect the insurance upon the entirety of the premises, and that he had imagined that he had so effected his insurance. In a case of that sort could it be said the construction of the policy should be left to the Judge alone, and that there was nothing to go to the jury ? He apprehended not, and there was no ground for making the rule for a nonsuit absolute. With re spect to the evidence as to the value of the machinery, 1 he- apprehended that, as the question w as one en ti re l y o f va l ue, the evidence was clearly admissible, and, as the contest was, whether the insurance was meant to cover the whole of the machinery, or only one portion of it, evidence as to value was admissible as evidence of identification. He therefore sub mitted that this rule must be discharged. Mr. ROBINSON followed on the same side. Lord DENMAN said that the Court would hear the remainder of the arguments to-morrow. es EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY). Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Baron ROLFE and a Common Jury.) COPPING P. THE PROPRIETORS OF THE PRINCE ALBERT STEA M-BOAT. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover com pensation, in damages, from the defendants. It appeared the 1•4 plaintiff and the defendant had p a id th e usua l f are for b e i ng S taken to Sheerness in the Prince Albert steam-boat. The commander of the boat, Captain Ingram, having, for some ) 34 reason or other, errroneously taken up the idea that the plaintiff and his friends were pickpockets, which he openly de -44 dared them to be, stopped at Gravesend, refusing to take them to Sheerness, and had the party put on shore. For this breach of contract the plaintiff brought his action. The de -34 fendants paid :31. into Court as a satisfaction. - The case having been proved, the jury found for the plaintiff —Damages, 501. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) SMART V. woxEs. This was an action upon a bill of exchange for 1,000/. It % was tried at Westminster, in the nisi prius sittings of last term, when a verdict was returned for the defendant, upon the plea that the debt represented by the bill had been paid. A rule nisi II had been since obtained for a new trial, the arguments upon which occupied the greater part of this day, and was not con cluded when the Court rose. • STATE OF TRADE. There has been rather a larger business done this week in the principal articles of consumption, but ' u stocks have been sufficiently heavy to prevent any material advance in prices. The accounts to hand from Bombay, China, and America, have had no tt small effect on our business and the trade of the manufacturing districts, as it is evident, from the ,* 4 range of prices for goods in India, that no ship i% merits of much weight will be made should spinners insist on advanced rates, whilst the latest letters from the cotton-growing States of America are calculated to enhance the prices here of the raw material, as the esti mate of crop has been reduced, and shipments now arriv ing will leave a loss that may fairly be estimated at seven per cent. on the amount invested ; luckily, however, the planters have been the principal shippers, and the losses will, consequently, be of far less moment to our merchants, whose orders have been given at rates much below the currency of the principal cotton markets in the States. One rather important statement is reported in IN some correspondence, to the effect that the southern banks were again assisting the planters to withhold their % crops from market, and that, whilst the stocks in the port were accumulating, prices were also advancing, under the influence of such assistance. Let us, however, hope, that the severity of past losses has not so soon been forgotten. Here we have had a lively market, with 7 large sales, chiefly to speculators, at prices a shade 5 53 4 higher ; yesterday, especially, an enor mous b us i ness was dose, roughly estimated from 18,000 to 20,000 bales. The excitement in the share market has apparently blown over, and the transactions are not so n umerous .— Liver-pool ercury. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF DAY. GLOBE.—W hen Sir Robert Peel's evil genius , prevailed over the Right Hon. Baronet's pro verbial caution, and induced him to consent to the prosecution of the repeal leaders, the arch ' fiend's triumph was complete. The Rubicon was passed. To recede was impossible; to go forward was fraught with fresh perils at every step ; while the end was yet more fear ful than the dangers of the way. From the hour that this ill-advised and impolitic course was determined on, one blunder has succeeded to another. Defects of necessary forms have multipled to an extent beyond all precedent in any former State prosecution. The law officers '134 of the Crown have acquired an unenviable cele brity for deficiency of caution, or a destitution of the requisite legal ability, unequalled in any p who have been intrusted with the offices they qi hold. Ridicule, provoked by their self-created rM embarrassments, has subsided into scorn for 5 i the petty, paltry advantages by which they have sought to fetter the traversers in preparing for their trial. This feeling, natural to honourable minds, has recently given place to indignation. The striking of the special jury panel, when every Roman Catholic was regarded as ipso facto disqualified because of his creed, has created not merely indignation, but alarm. The Government which directed the proceeding, and the functionaries who con sented to act upon its directions, have drawn upon them the indignation of the Catholics, who constitute the large majority of the Irish population, and of every liberal Protes tant in the country, while they have alarmed the apprehensions of their friends, lest the pro vocation thus supplied to the population should prove too powerful to be kept within the limits of legal restraint. Scarcely has the public mind recovered from the sensation produced by the stretch of prerogative to secure a partisan jury, than another " untoward event" for the Govern ment is discovered. An omission of sixty three names from the High Sheriff's list, from which the special panel was struck, has been detected. The High Sheriff's list, not being a faithful transcript of the juror's book as authenticated by the Recorder, by whom the spe cial jury list was revised, is manifestly fatal to the list, in the striking of which the law officers of the Government had succeeded in obtaining a jury of one creed. Thus they disqualified, at once, those whom the law has invested with the rights of citizens. On the pending trial between the Crown and the repeal leaders, it was essential, no less for the ends of justice than for the satisfaction of the country, that Catholics and Protestants should, at least in a fair proportion, have been impanelled to itry the issues. The organ of the Irish Government (thepub/in Pachet), in endeavouring to justify the course taken by the Government, asserted that the eleven Roman Catholics expunged from the list were Repealers. This is shown to be po sitively untrue by a reference to the expunged names. Thus the desperate defence set up for the Government in its extremity is demolished; and the proceeding in all the hideous charac teristics of its manifest unfairness to the ac cused, stands forth without even the sem blance of an excuse ! The Dublin Monitor gives an explanation of the mysterious omis sion of the sixty-three names from the list of jurors, in an article which we quote at length in another column. It is stated that the majority of the omitted names are those of Catholics--a circumstance that renders it the more essential to the impartirl administration of instice that the panel should be set aside, aud a new jury be struck. The difficulty thus suddenly created on the very threshold of the trial, has, we scarcely need say, occa- . sioned dire confusion amongst the law officers of the Government. In anticipation of, and to provide for, the delay that will be caused by the applications which will be made to the Court on behalf of the traversers ; the lengthened argu ments which will arise;* and the probable decision of the Court against the validity of the jury list, the Crown solicitor has served a notice on the solicitors for the traversers, of the inten tion of the Attorney-General to " move the Court to-morrow (Thursday) or as soon after as possible, that should the trials not have ter minated on the 31st instant, each succeeding day, up to the 15th of April, shall be considered as part of Hilary Term, for the purposes of the said trials." The Cabinet Council summoned for yesterday (the second during this week) is sup posed to have had reference to this new " diffi culty" in Ireland. We venture to predict that the prosecution will be abandoned. If Sir Robert Peel be not positively demented,-he will avail himself of this new blunder to extricate himself from a position which every day beccmes more embarrassing to his Government,, and more pe rilous to the country. STANDARD.— We are accustomed to look to the Morning Chronicle for instruction, as well as for the amusement which clever reasoning and clear writing are sure to affbrd. The instruction is, however, of a description somewhat narrow, and, if we may say so, professional. When our Contemporary's leaders" are short, we are apprised that there is something plau sible to be answered, but when they ex tend to a very great length, we are pretty confident that the day furnishes nothing that can be worked up into a decent case. With the Morning Chronicle, as with the rest of the world, rigmarole, as it is disrespectfully called, is the resource when facts and reasoning cannot be had. The Morning Chronicle has to-day a very long leading article. The reader is aware of the infe rence. The purpose of this long article, as far as we can detect a purpose in it, is to show that the empire is suffering very grievously by reason of a suggested discrepancy between the decla rations and the acts of the present Government. Now we must deny both assertions; we deny that the empire, in integro, suffers any thing; maintain ing on the other hand that, as a whole, the em pire holds a higher and happier position than it ever held, certainly than- it has held at any time within the last 14 years. No less positively do we deny that there has been any discrepancy whatever, between the declarations and the acts of the pre sent Government. We have spoken too lately ofthe actual state of the empire to allow a recapitula tion of all the advantages which it has obtained within the last three years to be necessary. Peace conquered, and confirmed—territory profitably enlarged —commerce restored and boundless fields opened to commercial enterprise—the value of the public securities enhanced 10 per cent.— a sadly deficient revenue replaced by a rich surplus contribution to the Exchequer the rebellion, nursed up in Ireland, by ten years of Whig-Radical fondling, broken in spirit and in strength, if not utterly subdued; and its mon ster meetings dissipated by the wind of a con stitutional common law prosecution. And all this good effected without expedients and without quackery. Here surely there are no symptoms of grievous suffering to the whole empire —we say to the whole empire, for the suffering of the whole empire, through all its departments and classes, is the subject of the Morning Chronicle's complaint. But general prosperity may no doubt be consistent with the suffering of particular classes, and may be even connected with that suffering, and we see that to some extent this is the case with the British empire. In the case of manufactures, more partic u la r ly, grea t prosperity is frequently the effect as well as the cause of much suffering to the working classes; the effect, because, in the competition of the world, it must imply low wages ; the cause, inasmuch as it tends to bring much money into the hands of a few men, who are the very men naturally disposed to make money the substitute for labour, and thus further to depress the rate of wages and to depress it permanently. It is not, however, of an excess of manufacturing activity that the Morning Chronicle complains, and this, indeed, is the very last thing of which our; Con porary would complain. The distress of the working classes is, however, the only ex ception to the general prosperity of the empire, and that we trust to see soon semedied. The second point upon which we are at issue with the Morning Chronicle is the suggested discrepancy between the declarations and the acts of the present Ministers. Here, from the impossibility of proving a negative, we must chal lenge the positive testimony, and we challenge it confidently, that no such alleged discrepancy can be produced. It will not be sufficient to take a qualified proposition, strip it of the qualifying words, and then call it a declaration. This, we know, is the manner in which the opposition journals have endeavoured to establish the charge ofinconsistency between declarations and, acts brought by the Morning Chronicle. But though such ingenious devices may be well enough for newspaper war, no men are such fools as to follow so gross a fallacy in the conduct of their affitirs, and that in fact few have been misled by fallacies of the kind is pretty clear from the general prosperity which it has been our pleasant duty to describe. If any have been such fools as to surrender themselves to the delusion, let them not blame the Govern ment, which has spoken distinctly and guard edly, but the dishonest journals that have misrepresented the Government. If we were _ . not afraid of falling under the suspicion which we have acknowledged to attach to all long articles, we should add a third issue with the Morning Chronicle, in the shape of a ques tion whether it was by the perfect cor respondence between the declarations and the acts of the late ministers they brought the empire into that happy condition in which Sir Robert Peel found it upon receiv ing the administration of public affairs—a prepared rebellion in Ireland—quarrels in the four quarters of the globe—depreciated funds—ruined trade—a deficient and stilldeclining revenue? This would be a wide discussion, and therefore we mere ly ask the Morning Chronicle to reconcile all the declarations of Lord Melbourne and Lord John Russel with their acts, in reference to - tile; subjects only—Parliamentary reform, the corn laws, and the degree of favour due to Mr. Daniel O'Connell. We seem to ourselves to remember rather gross discrepancies between the declara tions and acts of the two Noble Lords upon the questions named.

The invention turned out to be a highly useful one, and the defendant having interfered with the rights conferred by the pa tent, the plaintiff brought his action against him. On the trial an old patelit, dated 1799, and granted to a per son named Hinckley for the same purposes, was produced by the defendant, under whom he alleged he worked, and a verdict was given in his favour, the plaintiff being nonsuited. It was proved, however, at the trial, that the saucepans produced by the plaintiff were far superior to the others produced under Hinckley's patent, and that the materials employed were different. Mr. MARTIN now moved for a rule to set aside the finding of the jury, and for a new trial. • Rule nisi granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. ROBBERY OF TIIE EAST AND WEST INDIA DOCK WAREHOUSES.— For some time it has been suspected by the managers of the East and West India Dock Com pany that some of their servants connived at certain ex tensive robberies committed upon the premises, and po licemen were appointed to watch in coloured clothes about the neighbourhood. Yesterday two men, named Samuel Harmer and Joseph Neal, were put to the bar, chaged with having stolen a large quantity of tea, the property of the Company, and John Blachet, Thomas _Redmond, Sidney Johnson, and George Green, servants of the Company, were charged with having been concerned with them in committing the plunder. Mr. Richard Williams, principal warehouseman at the premises of the Company, at Fenchureh-street and Crutched Friars, stated that he saw Harmer enter one of the warehouses in the afternoon of Wednesday with a bag, and return with the bag in a different condition from that in which it was when he went in. The pri soner had no business in the place at all, and was stopped by a policeman who had received instructions on the subject. I'V. D. Davis (policeman H 36) stated that at twelve o'clock, as he was watching at the Crutched Friars gate of the warehouses, he saw the prisoner come out with a full bag, and followed him to a public-house. After wards he again saw Harmer come out of the warehouse, with another bag on his shoulder, and asked him what he was carrying, to which he replied, "All right, Sir." Witness asked him his name, and he said it was Henry Weedon, and that he resided at No. 8, Gee-street, Clerkenwell. Upon being questioned further, Harmer said he would answer no more questions, that it was no good, and that his name was Samuel Harmer. In answer to questions from Sir PETER LAURIE, Mr. Williams, the warehouseman to the Company, said, that cards were issued out to the brokers, who were allowed to sample the teas. In the bag taken by the policeman from Harmer there was a great quantity of teas i❑ a loose state, and but few portions i❑ paper. It was evidently not legiti:nately deposited. The man admitted that he had no card, acid it certainly was im proper to admit him to the premises without a card. Mr. Williams stated that the case of Jose'lll Neal re sembled that of Samuel Harmer. H. C. Barber, police-constable, H 11, stated that he saw Joseph Neal come out of the Company's ware house with a large bag on his shoulder, and followed him to the Golden Lion public-house, in Goodman's-fields. The prisoner, whose wife was in the parlour, put down the bag on the table, and witness at once seized him, and charged him with having stolen the Company's teas. There was another bag in the room, containing a small portion of tea, and two coats for altering appearances. Witness afterwerds perceived a third b:,g, which con tained about sixty pounds weight of tea. An attempt had been made by a man who was known to the wit ness to take away fte latter bag. The bags containing the tea were produced. The quantity was very great. The evidence against Blacket, one of the Company's servants, stated that he had been watched and seen in communication with Harmer and Neale, and a memoran dum book was taken by violence from him, in which he had made entries which evidently referred to the profits arising from the system of robbery thus pursued. Blacket denied that he knew either of the two strangers who had returned from the premises with filled bags. Redmond and Green were also observed to be in com munication with Harmer and Neale on the premises, while Johnson constantly waked towards the look out. Mr. Pelham appeared for the prisoners, who were all remanded for some days. 1 1 1ARLBOROuGH.STREE7'. Andersoe, aged 18, and Johnjell 'cat, aged 16, both residing in the purlieus of St. Giles's, were placed at the bar, charged with stealing six boxes of sample lace scarfs, of the value of between 701. and 801., the property of Mr. James Martin, of No. 38, Gutter lane, Cheapside, silk warehouseman. It appeared that between four and five o'clock yesterday afternoon, the prosecutor left his chaise standing in Old Bond-street, while he made a call at a house of. business there. Just at the instant, a gentleman's servant passing by, ob served the prisoners, in company with two- other lads, watching the prosecutor's movements through the window of the establishment he had entered, and recog nising the prisoner Anderson as the party whom he had detected in the act of picking his pocket three years ago in the Borough, and for which he was com mitted from the Town-hall, Southwark, he suspected they were intent on some unlawful purpose, and continued to watch their proceedings. After a time, and while the prosecutor's groom was standing at the horse's head, the prisoner Anderson covered from observation by the others following closely up behind him, went to the back of the chaise, and very adroitly extracted the parcels containing the boxes in question, which he immediately placed on his shoulder, and, accompanied by Jeffcott, walked with an air of unconcern towards Piccadilly ; the other two, on the instant of the booty being obtained, making off in an opposite direction. The prisoner had proceeded as far as the Egyptian Hall, when police-constable No. 177 of the C division coming by, they were given into custody. On being asked how they came into possession of the property, they replied that a man who had met them in the street, had employed them to carry it. Mr. HARDWICK inquired if they were known as bad characters ? Inspector Frowd, of the C division, said they were not. Anderson described himself as a pot-boy out of place, and Jeffcott of " no occupation." They were fully committed to Newgate. MAI?YLEBONE. George Pillett, a respectahie-looking-man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with having stolen a roll of flannel from the shop of Mr. Sims, Park-terrace, Regent's-park. The complainant said that in consequence of what a neighbour told him he and his shopman went out, and ob served the prisoner running off with fifty-two yards of Welsh flannel, worth above 3/. The prisoner on being taken into custody begged to be let go, end when at the station-house said, "It is all up with me now if they go on with it." He had upon him 195., several keys used by "gentlemen of a certain character," and numberless handkerchiefs and gloves. He had before been twice convicted, and once transported.—Committed f ,r TRAGICAL OCCURRENCE AT DEPTFORD. Yesterday evening, at halt-past six o'clock, an inquiry took place before Mr. C. J. Carttar, Coroner for W.,at Kent, on view of the bodies of two infants, the children of Mr. J. F. Dickenson, lately residing in Giffen-street, Deptford, who died in consequence of injuries inflicted upon them by their mother. A brief sketch of the melancholy transaction has already ap peared. Since the discovery of the offence great numbers of persons have assembled on the spot, although none but the police and persons officially engaged were allowed to enter the house. The inquest was held at the Two Brewers, in Giffen-street, High-street, Deptford, and the inquest room was crowded to excess. A great deal of disapprobation was expressed at the mode of making out the jury list. Mr. White, one of the Board of Governors and Directors, preliminary to the arrival of the Coroner, took the names of the gentlemen who entered the room. Mr. Nixon said that he was only expressing the opinion of many others (twenty) round him, who felt that it was like packing a jury. Mr. White said he could not be stigmatised without a reply. He had only taken the list given by the beadle of the names of gentlemen who came in, without respect to parties. A scene of uproar and confusion ensued, during which the Coroner entered. The CORONER said he could not allow such a scene to exist ; but would assert his authority. All he had to do was, to have the beadle's list handed in. Mr. White—lt was handed to Mr. Bailey. Mr. Bailey—l have not got it. I had it, it is true; but other gentlemen also had it. The CORONER—Then it must be produced. Mr. Elisha Smith said he was very willing to give up his place if Mr. Nixon was desirous of sitting as a juryman; he knew that as the case had excited great interest many were de sirous of being on the jury. The CORONER said a better feeling aught, to exist. He regretted that any person, except in the performance of a pub lic duty, should step forward. His duty was a painful one, and he should only call the names of those summoned by the officer. Cockle (the beadle) then called the names of the jury. The CORONER said he would dispense with the attendance of some of them. A juryman said he had not been summoned, and did 'not see why he should have been called from his home by the beadle if his services were not required. The CORONER said that for the future the officer should deliver a summons in writing; but any person who then re fused or neglected attending should be fined 5/. A juryman said he believed one gentleman only would have complained. He considered it a courtesy to a tradesman for the Judge of the Court to send his officer and study their convenience, instead of issuing a peremptory mandate for their attendance. The jury were then sworn, and proceeded to view the bodies. In consequence of the great number of persons present the Court was adjourned to the Queen Charlotte public-house, Church-street. The mangled remains of the murdered infants presented a most shocking spectacle. George Dickenson, uncle to the deceased children, was in troduced into the room, and appeared deeply affected. He deposed that he resided in Cannon-street, City, and said that he had identified the bodies of the deceased. Mrs. Spencer, a lodger at the house of Mr. Dickenson, on being called as a witness, fainted, and was removed. Sarah White, of No. 5, Giffen-street, deposed that she saw the little boy on Wednesday morning, at halt-past eleven, with a bit of bread. She did not see the mother. In the after noon she thought the children were very quiet. She had pre viously heard the mother say " Georgy, be quiet." They were then walking backwards and forwards from one room to the other. She saw nothing of them afterwards until nearly six o'clock. She then heard a moaning ; she then said, " Oh, dear me ; I should not be surprised if Mrs. Dickenson bas cut he- throat and her children's too." She went in and saw the children ; Mrs. Dickenson caressed them whilst she was in the room. Believed Mr. Dickenson was not at home. Witness was not intimate with them. Mrs. Dickenson was a clean tidy woman, and had lived there fifteen reeks. Mrs. Spencer was very intimate, and had said she (the unfortunate mother of the deceased) must do something. Mr. Joseph Arthur, surgeon, sworn—said he was called in, and found the two children on the bed, both dead. It was impossible to say how long they had been dead; the bodies were not quite cold. He found the female with the windpipe divided, and insensible. The trachea and some of the blood vessels of the boy were divided. The other child had met with similar injuries. It was one cut with a sharp instruaaent. The children were lying at her feet. She might have cut the throats of her children, and then her own, and thrown herself back on the bed. Mrs. Elizabeth Spencer was next sworn, and deposed that she knew Mr. and Mrs. Dickenson, and the deceased. Saw them alive - at half-past ten on Wednesday. Mrs. D. and the children were then together in the front room. Mrs. D. said her husband was in town. I saw him before at half-past eight ; saw him again at half-past five, when he came to her apartment. Did not hear the children after she saw them. When Mr. Dickenson came in, be fell backwards on the bed, but could not speak. She asked him what was the matter, but he could not answer. lie get up and beckoned, and she followed him down stairs. He said, " She has done the deed." She could not tell -for the moment what he meant. She went round the room, and saw the woman on the bed, but she did not speak. All he said to her when she got into the room was, "Do not speak ; don't make a noise, you will disturb them." I had not as certained whether the children were dead or not. He called for assistance, and Mrs. White came in and Mr. Spencer followed. Could not say how they lived, but by making away with their things or pawning them. Witness was a lodger. Believes they had no other means of subsistence except what they got from their lodgers. Her conduct to the children 'sac kind. Her countenance appeared clouded at times. Mr. Dick enson and wife were both sober people. Witness advised her to go to the parish and see Mr. Warman, the relieving officer ; but she said she knew he would not give her any thing, besides she said she would not go to the parish, as she dreaded the ex posure. She also said she wanted to make up her quarter's rent, and hoped her brother would assist her. Believed they were in want of the necessaries of life. By Mrs. Dickenson's confession the children had only two penny loaves in two days ; this was about a week before Christmas. She always appeared in sorrow and trouble, but never spoke of it particularly. Police Constable Ewins, 160 11, deposed thrt he was called in at half-past five. Messrs. Arthur and Drury, surgeons, were present. Be found a razor on the dresser, with blood on it. (It was here handed to the jury). Sergeant Roscoe, 9 R, deposed :that he was called in, and saw the woman on the bed. She attempted to sit up, and was wringing her hands. Some remark was made, and she said " Oh, it was I who (lid it." She afterwards said that she did it at a quarter past one, just as the clock chimed. Mr. Taylor asked me, in her presence, whether she knew him , and she said " Yes." Mr. Taylor is a solicitor. Mr. John Hills, churchwarden, deposed that, at ten minutes past six, he received information of the dreadful occurrence. Ile went and spoke to Mr. Dickenson, and asked what he thought was the cause cf it ? He replied that he had only come down from London at half-past five ; that he kept his razor on a shelf, and when he got home he found it there, co vered with blood, and placed it on the dresser. Dickenson also said that he thought distress alone had caused it. He (wit- ne. - ,1) found a great quantity of duplicates for bedding, l'!„' and children's clothes—the family had nothing to cover 67 but a rug. A note was also found, complaining of distre!.. o f tea,,a i s There were two slices of bread and a small quantity the cupboard ; sufficient only for a very scanty meal. .' 6 said that she commenced murdering the boy, and heard til clock strike four, add killed the other child afterwards; t hat she heard her husband go in, hut could not move. She sr peared to be in greet mental agony. Mr. George Warman, relieving officer for Deptford, depot/ that he went at half-past six, and saw Mr. Dickenson. w s to said, that when h e went h ome he thought the family had g ° to bed, in conseq uence o f being without firing. Was q— dilo satisfied that was not the fact. A jurur said, that question must be distinctly understood! el it had gone forth that relief had been refused. et! Mr. Warman s l id th at h e h a d not b een appl i ed to , dire or indirectly, and it was very painful to him that such a reP e4 should have gone forth, as through the day he bad been p o : 3lt at in the streets, and told that he was the murderer 0, children. The CORONER said there was no imputation on the relieving officer. Air. Hills said, she stated that after having cut the WO" of the children she fell back exhausted, and was unable to cots; plete her own destruction. After the children were t a ketisw% • she said sh e was sorry . A great d ea l had transpired in versation, and ti .e mother said that on the previous afternr o she had taken the b o y on h er k nee to e ff ect h er purpos e ; her heart failed her. Mr. Warman hoped that, as strong opinions had been IP pressed, the gentlemen of the jury would declare in his foliar; The CORONER said there was no ground for complaint. 'I he jury said they were quite satisfied. Dr. Arthur, in answer to a question by the Coroner, I s ! that there was every p ro b a bilit y t h at t h e unfortunate w 00" would recover by proper attention, if she were removed. to Mr. George Dickenson, unc l e f the deceased, said that 11, advanced 5111. to his b ro th er i n J u l y, 1839, who, up tot,i present time, had been very un f or t unate . Th e witness seeilh deeply affected. The CORONER addressed the jury on the evidence, and utd that, under all the circumstances, there could scarce!y ti doubt that the un f or t unate f ema l e was the person who ", inflicted the w oun d s . Th ey cou ld not consider whether ,b 0 was in a sound state of mind at the time or net. Her declaration or confession was made entirely voluntarily. 0 did not wish to call upon her husband to give evidence 4 1) , which his wif e wou ld b e conv i cte d . B ut no less t h an eig, witnesses had spok en t o a d m i ss i ons ma d e at di fferen t tits w by her, that she was the only party who had committed th i offence. A Juror said that, if the woman died, he should have col; to a conclusi o n th a t s h e h a d comm i tte d su i c i de when i n a sts, of temporary insa n ity. U n d er suc h c i rcumstances he cou ld a"' conscientiously return a verdict of wilful murder. The CORONER. said there was no evidence to show any absP ration of intellect, but the contrary. The jury; therefore" could not give way to mere feelings of humanity. His au!! was quite as painf u l as th e i rs , an d h e on l y propounded the 13" to them. Mr. White, a juryman, said that, much as he respected O s Coroner's opinion, he would not, when he was on the jury, 14 : turn a verdict contrary to his conscience. Shortly after ten o'clock the jury requested the room ..„ be cleared, and a b ou t h a lf- past e l even the Court wa s opened, and The CORONER announced that the jury had return.d verdict of Wilful Murder against Sarah Dickenson. •id The Foreman—At th e same t i me we say that she commit hs the offence whih,t in a state of great mental anxiety, broug on by extreme distress. The Rev. Messrs. Ffi nc h an d Sketchlethe Rectors of St. most Paul and St. Nicholas, D e ptf or d, have assiduously tb tended the unfortunate w oman , an d M r. F f i nch remained °Li her until after the inquiry terminated. It was announced night that such a change had taken place as to preclude eve r ' prospect of her recovery.

The bottom of the 60; 1 being levelled by a scoop dredger, the caissc ) was lowered, and some clay being throvrn around the exterior, a joint was formed, 5d nearly water tight, that two small pumps draine it in six hours. Th e f oun d at i on being then eir,' cavated to the re qu i s it e d ept h , the caisson, wh; c a sank as the excavat i on proceeded, was with concrete and masonry.
