LAVENU'S EAST INDIA HOUSE, Mallen 12, 1845, T HE COURT of DIRECTORS of the EAST INDIA COMPANY do hereby give notice, That a PROPRIETOR of EAST INDIA STOCK has GIVEN NOTICE that at the QUARTERLY GENERAL COURT of the said COMPANY, appointed : to be held at their House, in Leadenhall-street, on WEDNESDAY, the 19th instant, he will call attention to the follow ing Papers, respecting the Case of the ex-Rajah of Sattara, viz.:— " Papers relating to the Commission of Inquiry held at Sattara in October, 1836, printed to conformity with a resolution of a General Court, held on the 21st December, 1842. " Papers ordered by the House of Common. to be printed 14th August, 1843. No. 569. MURDER AT SALT-HILL, he might, under painful circumstances, be guilty of subter fuge; but he rested the defence of the prisoner mainly upon these confident minds, that there was neither motive nor temptation to so horrible a crime, and that the jury would not be the - first to break through that great and blessed prin ciple of justice, that where there was a doubt the accused should always have the benefit of it. The Learned Gentle man concluded by again urging upon the jury the considera tion of their responsibility if they erred, if upon subjects so difficult to those accustomed to them, they did an act which one day they might wish, almost to the cost of their own lives, they had not committed. Looking to the mature of the case, and the doubts and uncertaincies with which it was surrounded, he did confidently expect a verdict of acquittal. The prisoner seemed affected at several points of the Learned Gentleman's appeal to the jury. Mr. GUNNING called the following witnesses, who gave the prisoner a good character for kindness and humanity : Henry Lane, of Berkhamsteed, rector's churchwarden ; Joseph Gomm, master-builder ; John Tomkins, coal mer chant; and Joseph Baldwin, currier, all of the same place. They had all known the prisoner about four years, being the time he had resided at Berkhamstead. Also Henry Castle, timber merchant, of London, who had known him abroad in 1832 and 1837 ; John Richardson, of Dover, cashier to his brother, who had known bim both at home and abroad since 1827 ; Abel Salter Trew, who had known him in Sydney for several years ; Captain Chevalier Dillon, who had known him for 30 years ; and John Gover, of Great Dover-street, London, retired from buainess,who had also known him many years. At the conclusion of the evidence to character, Mr. Baron PARKE glanced over the Court, and said that the question then was, should they go on in 'the dirkness which, despite the aid of the candles, he feared was still toe great in the Court, or adjourn till to-morrow. The case was a very heavy one, and it would probably be betterto adjourn. A juror cried out—" Oh Igo on, ray Lord, go on. We have no objection to finish ; we will sit until we finish. Mr. Baron Panice—ln so important a case, gentlemen, I fear that I cannot fairly undertake to wind it up to-night. I think we had better adjourn. A juror—My Lord, shall we have beds? Baron PARKE—Certainly: gentlemen. Beds I of course. Several jurors—Why, my Lord, we could get no beds last night. Mr. Peron PARKE turned to the sheriff', and requested that beds should be provided for the jury. He received some ex planation regarding the inconvenience of the preceding night, which was not audible. BY order of the Board, ..._ ? addla gton U CHARLES A. SANDERS, Secretary , March 15, 1845.

KELLY commenced his speech in defence of the prisoner, appearing to be much affected, for tears stood in his eyes as in a low tone he declared that he rose to address them under a pressure of responsibility which he was scarcely able to bear, and he hoped that they would pardon him, if, feeling that deeply, he betrayed anything like a momentary weak ness. He trusted they would pardon him, also, if ke ven tured to say that they themselves had to discharge the most important duty which, perhaps, had ever devolved upon them, and that they must proceed to the discharge of that duty under a weight of responsibility more awful and terrible than even that which oppressed him. For, if be had not misunderstood the solemn and important case before them, if he should not be able to impress them with what he conscien tiously believed to ha the true nature of that case, they would feel that they were called upon for the first time to send to his last account one who stood at the bar a living and breath ing man before them, not upon sworn evidence, nor uion the truth of any facts whatsoever, but depending wholly upon theory, or resting wholly and entirely upon what was to be found loosely and inaccurately reported in books. He would show them that if they acted upon such evidence, they might commit one of the most fatal mistakes, one from which they would shrink with horror, when called upon to deal with the life of a fellow-man. It was not for him to vindi cate the faults of the unfortunate man at the bar; while on the one hand he "vas deeply unfortunate in many respects, on the other he was equally blameable, his conduct being such as it was impossible to justify. But while he made that ad mission, heimphred the jury, as they regarded their future happiness, to beware, lest, that for want of a just distinction between right and wrong, they should confound facts, how ever blameable, with one far exceeding them in horror and guilt, and from which he hoped, after he should have brought the facts under their review, they would acquit him. Al though the honourable eare and caution of his Learned Friend had led him to abstain from anything that might press unfairly against the accused, the jury must have learned from the public newspapers that ke had committed in early life an offence against the laws ; but since that he had atoned for his offence by a life of indu , try, kindness, and bounty. That fact was the key to many of the subter fuges and evasions which had marked his conduct in con nexion with this charge.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, THURSDAY, MARCH 13. SOUTH-EASTERN RAlLwAYs.—This was a petition for a Bill to enable the promoters to make railways from the ter minus of the South-Eastern line and the branches from Lon don to Chilhatn, Tunbridge, and Paddock-wood, with branches to Faversham-creek to Stone, near Dartford, and to make railways and branch railways from the South- Eastern Railway at Tunbridge to Tunbridge-wells, and from Maidstone to Rochester, and from Ashford to Hast ings ; and also to alter and extend the Canterbury, Rams gate, and Margate branch of the South-Eastern line, and to make a branch from there to Deal, and to widen and ex tend certain parts of the London and Greenwich Railway, which is now about to be leased by the South-Eastern Company. The Bill came before the Committee last Friday, when it was withdrawn, on an understanding fiom the 'Chairman that it was informal to introduce into one Act powers which could only be obtained by separate Bills ; on that day it was also found that many of the standing orders had not been complied with. Mr. Burke attended on Thursday, and stated that the original Bill would be withdrawn, the House having given permission to thepromoters to divide it into seven Bills. Petition for Bill withdrawn. BRIGHTON AND 'CHICHESTER RAILWAY (PORTSMOUTH F-xTENstoN).—The promoters of this Bill propose to make a railway from the Brighton and Chichester line, on the eastern side of the Dell. quay and Farmhurst turnpike-road, in the pariah of St. Peter's Subdeanery, to the turnpike.. road from Portsmouth to London, near Landport, in the borough of Portsmouth ; and also to make a branch from the Farlington Waterworks, to terminate by a junction with the Gosport branch of the London and South-Western Rail way at the Fareham station. The line will pass through New Fishbourne, Boshatn, Huntington, Chidam, Westbourne, Warlington, Havant, Bedhampton, Wymmering, Portsea, and Portchester, in the county of Southampton. The esti mated cost of the works is 320,000/. Engineer, T. W. Ras trick. Mr. Burke appeared as agent for the Bill. There were two petitions complaining of non-compliance with the standing orders. . The Agent for the promoters having called the necessary witnesses to prove the serving of notices, &c., Mr. Coates, of the firm of Dyson and Hall, said he ap peared in support of the petition of Mr. John Edward Pad don, against the proposed line of railway. Mr. James William Blackman, owner and occupier of pro perty on the line, said that his name did not properly appear in the book of reference, he having been noticed as John in stead of James William. Mr. Burke explained. The mistake was occasioned by the name having been copied from the witness's door-plate,where the name was not in full, but simply J. Blackman. . _ Mr. J. E. Paddon was interested for the family of Commo dore Henry Ducie Chad, the owner and eccupier of certain lands on the line. Mr. Burke objected to the examination of Mr. Paddon, who was himself a petitioner against the Bill, and who, under such circumstances, he submitted, could not be heard as a witness. Mr. Coates replied, and the Committee having cleared the room, after some little time the parties were called in, and informed that the witness should be heard upon the alle gation. - Witness—Commodore Chad was put down in the book of reference as Captain John Chad, instead of Henry Ducie Chad. The Committee were of opinion that the standing orders had not been complied with in this instance. It being now four o'clock, the further hearing of the case was adjourned to twelve o'clock this day. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE. THE CORNWALL RALLwAY.-It will be recollected that Mr. Aglionby's Committtee, decided that the standing orders had not been complied with. To-day, however, Mr. Burke, the agent for the Bill, submitted reasons to the Standing Orders Committee against the decision of the Sub-Committee, and the result wag, that the Standing Orders Committee decided that the promoters of the Bill might pro ceed with it. THE LATE LAMAN BLANCHARD'S FAMILY.—The Committee of the Royal Corporation of the Literary Fund, at its meeting on Wednesday, unanimously voted 100/. to wards the fund now raising for the benefit of the family of this talented and lamented gentleman. The committee of distribution thus testified their respect for Mr. Blanchard's memory and their commiseration for the circumstances in which those dependent on his literary exertions were left by his premature death. 'We believe this is but the second in stance in the history of this truly munificent society in which so large a sum has been voted to an individual case. Never can the exception to the general rule be more fully justified by the committee, nor more warmly commended by the sub scribers, than by the affecting circumstances which combine to take this case out of the rule which applies to ordinary claims upon the Literary Fund. country for his early offence, he had recovered his standing in society, and down to the present moment enjoyed the respect and esteem of many friends, while he had acquired some amount of worldly wealth. He (M r . K e ll y ) wou l d show that the alleged motive for committing the crime of murder, that of embarrassed circumstances and inability to continue a pecuniary payment, did not exist. He would show, also, that witnesses for the prosecution came prepared to support mere matters of theory, speculation, and opinion, and that their evidence, although given under the sanction of an oath, was not of any weight. He would show, too, that the indefensible language and conduct of the accused, in connexion with this case may be accounted for on other grounds than that of his having been guilty of murder. Before the prosecution could call upon the jury to condemn the prisoner to death, it must be proved that the deceased died of poison, and that that poison was prussic acid taken into the stomach. The evidence was not only defective, but entirely so divested of that certainty which should be infused into the mind, but which must become part of the constitution of the mind itself in a case of this kind, that the jury must pause before they thought of convicting the prisoner of the crime of murder. He quite agreed with his Learned Friend that direct evidence could not always be expected to prove a charge of murder; but, upon the question that the woman died of poison, the Jury were bound to demand positive and direct evidence. In the case of murder by strangling or wounding, circumstantial evi dence might suffice, but not in a case of poison. Formerly convictions and executions had taken placefor the murder of persons afterwards found to be alive. Now, that could not be the case; the jury must be made certain of the fact ofdeath by irrefragable evidence. It was the duty of the prosecation not only to prove the death, but the cause of the death, in a case of this kind; and upon that principle he called upon the jury to have, before they sent the prisoner to a horrid and ignominious death, evidence that the woman died of taking prussic acid. What were the jury called upon to be lieve? A woman in health, as it appeared, h a d di e d su dd en l y, and the prosecutor asked the jury to take away the life of the prisoner on the supposition that she had died from prus sic acid, and not from any one of the numerous causes of sudden death. If ever there was a case in which the blessed principle of our law should be regarded, that there should be positive proof of guilt, this was the case. Suppose it was stated that a person was poisoned by laudanum—would the jury convict, or the judge suffer the case to go to the jury, when they heard from the witness for the prosecution, " I never knew a case of a person dying from taking that drug?" No, they would ask for some one who could speak of the effects of laudanum upon the human system of his own knowledge, and not from what he had read in books. Those witnesses were irresponsible ; yet they called upon the jury to sacrifice that man upon the ground only of what they had read in books, and not upon that of actual experience. Unhappily this country was not without experience on this subject. It appeared that of 39 cases, in no great length of time, poisoned by prussic acid, only two had been charged with murder, and of all the medical men who had seen and examined all these cases the prosecu tion had brought one. There were many of such witnesses who could have deposed to whether there was a smell or not a smell after death, or whether there was a scream or no scream, or gorged lungs or not; instead of being left to the uncertain opinions of Mr. Champneys, Mr. Norblad, and Mr. Pickering, three very young and inexperienced men, of little practice, whose Opinions did not agree with each other, and who never saw man, woman, or child who had been poisoned by prussic acid. It appeared from their evi dence that there were doubts, only doubts, as to the quantity of prussic acid necessary to cause death, and as to all the effects and operation of the poison, the opinions of the wit nesses not being derived from experience, but being founded on books, containing conflicting opinions and partially re ported experiments. There was no positive evidence of the quantity of poison in the stomach of the deceased, nor of the source whence it was derived. What was the quantity suffi cient to cause death ? That was a question upon which the jury had to make up their minds at the very outset. Ac cording to the published statistics the number of sudden deaths was 1 in 99 ; so that there were about 3,000 sudden deaths in the course of a year. Here was a woman died suddenly, and it was said of prussic acid. How much was there in the stomach? Witnesses could prove the quantity of arsenic or opium sufficient to cause death ; but science was in the dark with regard to prussic acid. Would that jury be the first to decide such a question in the absence of post tive evidence, and resting only upon the opinions of persons who had formed them from reading books, and knew no more than the jury might learn in half an Hour by reading? Those books were written by persons now living; why were they, or some of them, not called to give positive evidence? The witnesses bad said at least a grain of prussic acid existed in the woman's stomach, but they had not proved upon their own knowledge and experience that a grails was sufficient to cause death. They mentioned one case in which so small a quantity had killed a person ; but that case they read in Taylor, who copied it into his book from some other quar ter, and the statement of the case was full of errors. He would call their particular attention to the part of the book referred to by Mr. Champneys, who had no more prac tical knowledge of the quantity of prussic acid that would cause death than ony one else in Court, and with whom, as with the other medical witnesses, it was nothing but guess work. The part of this work on medical jurisprudence by Mr. Taylor referred to stated that a person having taken dilute prussic acid by mistake to the amount of one and a half drachm of Scheele's acid, spasms and tetanus were pro duced, from which the patient did not wholly recover for thirteen days. It also stated, that " admitting the strength of the acid to be as represented, this is the largest dose known to have been taken without causing death." Would it be just on the supposed validity of an opinion such as that, found iu a book respecting which lie had not the power of putting a single question, to ascertain whether or not there was any error in it—would it be just on such testimony—the book itself saying, " if the strength of the acid be correctly represented"—te condemn a man to death ? If the strength of the acid were not correctly represented, the deduction was incorrect, and, that being incorrect, the whole basis of the medical testimony tumbled down. The same authority, after referring to some cases, stated that he considered he would be justified in believing that a dose of Scheele's acid of about 20 grains, which would contain about one grain of the pure prussic acid, would commonly destroy life. Well, in addition to Taylor, they had the authority of Christison referred to. In page 770 of his work on poisons, he stated that it was important to fix, if possible, the smallest fatal dose of hydrocyanic (prussic) acid ; but that it must vary with particular circumstances, such as the strength of the individual and the fulness or the emptiness of the sto mach. Then, quoting the case of a person who was killed from swallowing two-thirds of a grain of the acid, he went on to say, that repeated instances of recovery occurred where a larger quantity bad been taken than two-thirds of a grain, which he (Mr. Kelly) was prepared to sh ow was more than had been proved to have been found in this woman's stomach. They had, therefore, no sworn evidence whatever to clear up the doubts which existed upon the question of what quantity of prussic acid would cause death; they had nothing but a reference to these books, which contained nothing but specu lative opinions. If he had the authors of them on the table to examine, he might, perhaps, be able to arrive at some more definite conclusion; but, without that, he maintained that the whole basis of the medical evidence fell to the ground. Then, with regard to the question of smell, the Learned Counsel contrasted the evidence of the medical men, showing in it great discrepancy. Mr. Champneys fancied in one case and proved in another the existence of the smell of prussic acid from the contents of the stomach, while Mr. Norblad, notwithstanding his acute powers of smell, could not discover it at any period, Mr. Champneys, who was very candid, first of all admitted as a gene ral principle, taken from Taylor, Christi son, and other authorities, hat the odour of the acid was always to be found, but that that principle was subject to exceptions, and the exceptions given were three; first, the case of the seven Parisian epileptics, in which it turned out that is was in no less than eight days after death examination had taken place, and that even then, although six persons could not discover the odour, set that two did. The second and third cases turned out to be but one, and in that Mr. Champneys thought that as there was no odour found in the blood there was none in the stomach. This was shown to have been an error —one, however, which Taylor's language warranted. for he said in speaking of it that "the body was examined," leading Mr. Champneys to suppose that the stomach was included. This was an error which, if not detected, might have proved fatal to the prisoner, but one which showed how awful was the degree of danger, however learned th e wit nesses, and however diligent their search into books of au- tbority, of relying upon such evidence as they had received from the chief witness here, Mr. Champneys, which he him self believed to be true. It might be undissolved apples, bitter almonds, or anything else containing prussic acid, which was present, and yet no sufficient smell arise to attract the attention of Mr. Cooper or the other medical witnesses; but how, upon the whole of the evidence of those witnesses, deduced from books, it could be concluded that an entire grain of prussic acid, the amount stated by Mr. Cooper, could have been present in a free state or in a liquid, such as porter, and yet not be discovered by persons of acute smell, like Mr. Norblad, or after the liquor had been subjected to a boiling heat, and then smelt to by the chemist, he ( tr. Kelly) was at a total loss to understand. When combined with bitter almonds, it was reasonable enough to believe that it could not be smelt ; but in a free state, such as it is in Scheele's acid, where it was continually volatalizing and flying off— how was it possible that it could be subjected day after day to these experiments, and particularly to a boiling heat, and yet not be 'discovered by its odour, by that prosf of the presence of the acid which was acknowledged to be a matter of common occurrence, and which, as in the case of the seven epileptics, was by some persons so long as eight days after death ? The Learned Gentleman then applied himself to the evidence of Mr. Cooper, respecting his exa mination of the contents of the stomach, which examination he had admitted to have been incomplete, and also to his ana lysis of apple pips, which ho also admitted to have been in complete, as he was not able to say how much prussic acid he had obtained from the pips of 15 apples. He wished to impress upon the jury this, that, next to bitter almonds. there was no substance which contained more prussic acid than the pips of apples, the quantity differing according to the nature of the apple ; some descriptions of apples con taining it in a great quantity, and in such a form as, in the human stomach particularly, if swallowed whole, or but slightly masticated, would render its smell imperceptible. Then Mr. Cooper had not told them what quantity of apple he had found-iertheatermith;Mit having attempted to as certain that fact. The jury were also in utter ignorance of how much of the acid Mr. Cooper extracted from his first and second experiments. He was unable to tell them. Accord ing to his recollection, for he spoke only from recollection, he had used about two-thirds of the contents of the liquid brought to him within his first, second, and third experi ments, and that from the remaining one-third ho extracted 28-100ths of a grain of the acid, or a fraction more than one-foarth of a grain. He attempted to deduce from that, that the entire contents contained a grain of the acid, but they had no sworn evidence of that fact. The opinion of the witness upon the point was purely conjectural. Now, even admitting that conjectures upon the point should go to the jury, he (Mr. Kelly) maintained that in this case the conjecture should not weigh with the jury the 100th part of a grain.. Mr. Cooper concluded that because he extracted one-fourth of a grain from a portion of the contents, the rest of the con tents contained it in the same ratio, that the acid was equally diffused through the whole, and that if he was right in his recollectien of the quantity he - had used in the former experiments, that a fourth of a grain would prove the exis tence of an entire grain in the entire contents. Now, seeing that he only spoke from recollection of the quantity, and seeing also that he had admitted in his evidence that he found very little of the acid the first time, more the next, and still more the third, thus showing that as he got nearer to the bottom of the contents he got more of the solids, and of those portions of the contents that would produce prussic acid,—observing these things, which he (Mr. Kelly) begged ofthe jury calmly to do, he did think it was not evidence upon which they could agree to take away the life of a fel low-creature. In opposition to this evidence, the Learned Gentleman replied on that given by Mr. Thomas, in which that witness admitted that he had extracted half a grain of prussic acid from the pips of fifteen apples, and on the pos sibility of accounting for the presence of prussic acid in the contents of deceased's stomach by the fact of apple and other substances containing prussic acid having been found in those contents. Supposing that the pips of the apples produced a fourth of a grain, —suppose there was some little in the cake which she had eaten,—suppose there was some in the saliva which she must have swallowed in a large quantity when masticating the apples, and which was known to contain much prussic acid,—suppose there was some in the animal substances, and, although it was stated that they would not yield prussic acid without being subjected to a greater heat than they had been subjected to, yet it was known that, when undergoing decomposition, prussic acid was constantly being evolved,—suppose these things, put together all these probabilities, keeping in mind that they have had positive evidence that the pips of fifteen apples produced half a grain of prussic acid, and he asked them how they could, if they did not wish to commit murder themselves, convict the prisoner of that crime ? If there was not enough of prussic acid in the stomach to account for death, there was an end of the case. But of what did she die ? It was not for him to show. But it was said her screams indicated death by prussic acid. Where was there ever any evidence to prove that such a death was attended by a succession of screams, instead of a single one, called the "death scream," after a convulsion or two 1 Had the heart been paralyzed by prussic acid, or otherwise, the blood could not be received back from the lungs into the heart ; it must remain in the lungs, and gorge them. But the witnesses had declared that there was no congestion of the lungs. Mr. Champnevs, however, after a reference to the books, admitted that the lungs were slightly congested. Was that evidence upon which to decide a case of life and death ? It was far too doubtful to justify the adverse ver dict for which the jury were asked by the Crown. Again, there was the fact that the woman was in a state of syncope, and that she was choked by her neighbour pouring water down her throat. Again, how many causes of sudden death were there? The late Sergeant Andrews, in a moment of aberration of mind, cut his throat. The wound was sewn up, but a few days afterwards the wound burst out afresh, and he died. Who could doubt that the cause of his death was the cutting of his throat? But, on investigation, it turned out that the cause of death was the rupture of a bloodvessel. Suppose a person had been tried for inflicting that wound, an the coincident fact had not been revealed, would not the person have been in danger of being convicted of murder? Therefore, the jury should be cautious, and take it into con sideration all the coincidences of this case. He now ap proached some other points with pain. Enough was known of the former life of the prisoner which might create a pre judice against him ; but he implored the jury not to be led Tway by that to suppose that the prisoner had ever been guilty of any unkind or cruel act towards any individual. His Learned Friend had imputed to the prisoner a motive for committing murder. Now, he would not deny that by the deceased woman he had two children. That was an act of immorality, and if the prisoner had not bitterly repented it, he had at least bitterly suffered for it already. He al lowed that won:an about 1L a week. Would the saving- of that sum be a sufficient reason with a person in his eircum stances to commit murder? And would it be politic in him . , to destroy her, and bring upon himself the care of bringing up his children, and of introducing them perhaps into the family of his present wife? Then, as to his circumstances, the evidence of the banker's clerk had shown that they were not embarrassed. That he was still a man of kindly dis position, his present wife could prove, but she could not be called as a witness. However, a letter was put in on the previous day, which was a witness in his favour, and he would read to the jury. It was written on the Yst of January, the very day on which it was supposed he was actually about to commit murder My only loved one, — My thoughts have been with thee throughout the day, and I can't but hope thou art feeling better than when thou left us. Do, my endeared one, endeavour to keep up tby spirits or my sake." No woman could ever write in those terms to a husband past sixty yes," of age, whose wife she had been four years, if he had been a cruel and hard-hearted man. "We had no letters by the twopenny post. Poor Susan has been but poorly all day long, but hopes to be able to go to . - morrow. Richard Squire called here this afternoon, and chatted a while, and Hannah and Dorcas are now with us Darling Harry has been very merry all day, and looks so sweet. Sarah Chase called to invite Eliza to dine with her off turkey; 'Some young men were to be present. She de. dined the invitation. Oh, how I long to hear what the Syd ney papers say of the state of things there. My poor mind rises and falls as I see how these vicissitudes affect thee ; and I find it hard work to attain to that wise resignation which becomes us under all the decrees of a wise Providence. I think I could bear up better if the whole burden was on me alone ; but that is impossible. Ido hope, my dear husband, You will bear up. Th e y ear h as o p ene d with a lovely day. I hope it is an omen of the future which await us... Fare well, under every circumstances thy beloved wife." The Learned Counsel shed tears once or twice while reading this letter, and then proceeded to say that no man could receive such a letter as that and do an act which would make his affectionate wife a widow and his children fatherless. What the circumstances were to which the letter alluded he did not know, but it spoke volumes for his character as to kindness. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to contend that the prisoner had supposed the deceased to be acting when he left, and that to alarm him she might have pretended to put something in the stout, cam phor, for instance, of which one of the phials found in the house smelt. But the covering of a bottle had been pro- duced which, instead of fitting the bottle of prussic acid ob tained by the prisoner from the chemist in Bishopsgate street, was proved by that witness to be neither of the same size nor substance as the coverings he was in the habit of using. That was a great failure in the link of evideace against the prisoner. The cover produced was calcined, and who could tell that some bottle procured by the woman for the purpose of acting might not have been thrown in the fire by her and burnt ? Not that he meant to imply that the woman had poisoned herself; for he did not believe she had died of poison at all, but from scant one of the many causes of sudden death. As to other circumstances, his run ning, for instance, why it was a cold night. His going to Herschell-house was a circumstance of no consequence; and though tracked about he was found to have gone to public places only, and in a dress which could be easily recognised. True, he evaded, and when he did not evade he told a direct untruth. But was that evidence against him of having committed murder? He had an affectionate wife at Berk hamstead, with whom and his children he was living happily, when the police-officer challenged him, and he for the first time heard of the death of the woman, and it was natural for him, coupling the recollection of his former life with it, a life upon which he could not fall back, to deny any knowledge of the deceased. In common justice, while they could not justify his departure from truth, it would be un charitable to conclude on that account that he was guilty of murder. True, he bought Scheele's acid. Why? He suffered from varicose veins in the leg, and it was prescribed for him. Besides, he had been in the habit of purchasing it at the same shop for more than a year. There was no proof that he had that prussic acid at Slough. He informed the chemist that he lost the bottle. Was that false? The prosecution had not proved it to be so. After commenting upon the open manner in which the prisoner had gone about from plase to. place, the Learned Counsel complained of a previous incident, the sickness of the deceased woman on the• 30th of September last, having been brought against the prisoner to his prejudice upon this occasion ; but the jury would remember that a witness, while he swore that the symp toms were such as would be produced by prussic acid, admitted that he had never seen such a case. But, had that been the cafe, it was very unlikely that the prisoner would repeat the same experiment of poisiining with prussic acid in porter three months afterwards. As to the real cause of the death of the woman, that, like many other things, might perhaps ever remain a mystery. If the prisoner had evaded and de parted from the truth, he hoped the jury would not on that ground conclude that he had committed murder. A man might commit an offence in early life and retrieve himself—. AYLESBURY, FRIDAY, HALF-PAST TWELVE O'CLOCK.— The trial of John Tawell has just closed in a verdict of Guilty, and the unhappy prisoner has been sentenced to death. The town appears quite in a state of excitement, and the verdict was received by many with surprise, while on the other hand a great many people had made certain of his conviction, for the feeling in Aylesbury and the neigh bourhood was very strong against him. The Court again opened at eight o'clock this morning and was more crowded even than yesterday. • Mr. Baron Parke took his seat on the bench at a few minutes after that hour, and the prisoner was immedi ately brought in and placed in the dock. He appeared much as he did yesterday, with this difference, that his face bad a more anxious and worn expression. The feeling of ex citemeat in Court with regard to the issue appeared in tense. The Learned JUDGE, as soon as silence had been proclaimed, commenced summing up the evidence which he did with a lucidness well calculated to leave the minds of the jury in a befitting condition for the discharge of the awful duty which they had to per form. The effect was felt, however, to be, upon the whole, against the prisoner. His Lordship concluded in the usual manner, by leaving the awful de cision of the question of the prisoner's life or death in the hands of the jury, telling them if they had any fair and reasonable doubt, they must give the prisoner ,the benefit of it. The jury retired for deliberation at half•past eleven o'clock, and a sensation in which a general feeling of anxiety u to the event, appeared to pervade the breasts of the majority of those present. After an absence of rather more than half an hour, they returned into Court and the Foreman delivered a " VER DICT OF GUILTY," amid the most profound silence. The JUDGE then proceeded to pass the awful sen tence of Death upon the prisoner. He told him that he had been found guilty by a jury of his coun trymen upon evidence which had perfectly satisfied him (Baron Parke) and them, and he thought every fair and reasonable person who had heard it, that he had committed a most heinous, diabolical, cowardly murder upon his unfortunate victim. He then passed the sentence of death in the usual manner, ordering that his body, after execution, should be buried within the walls of the gaol. The unhappy man received the sentence with an extraor dinary amount of firmness ; and, beyond the nervousness which we noticed yesterday he betrayed very little emotion, although numbers of persons in Court were in tears, and some of the females sobbed aloud. He was then removed back to the prison, and the public immediately quitted the Court. TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. ST. JAMES'S PALACE, Manor 12, 1845.

THE CHANTING ITAwK.—A few days since a gen tleman shot, in the neighbourhood of Hasborough, a very curious bird, called the chanting hawk, nor Falco musicus dandin. It is a native of Africa, and is very seldom seen in this ec , untry. Cuvier says it is the only bird of prey that sings agreeably. In size it equals the goshawk, its plumage is grey above, white, barred with brown on the lower part of the back and on the under parts of the body.
