Yesterday forenoon a lengthened investigation was entered into before Mr. W. Baker, the coroner, and a highly respectable jury, at the Shaftesbury Arms, Shaftesbury-street, New North-road, Hoxton, con. cerning the death of Matthew Sanderson, aged six weeks, who was murdered by his mother, Emma Sanderson. The culprit was examined before Mr. Hammill, at Worship-street Police-court, on Saturday, and remanded to await the result of the coroner's in quest. The first witness examined was Mary Fuller, ser vant to the parents of the deceased, whose evidence was to the same effect as that she gape at Worship street. Mary Ann Potterton, 3, Boundary-row, lloxton, deposed that she had attended the mother of the de ceased in her confinement, and that she• had been in a low and desponding state of mind ever since. Her lowness was caused by marks on the deceased's face at its birth, and she was constantly harping upon the disfigurement it caused for the last fo:rtnight. Wit ness noticed a great change in the m other's appear ance, which caused her to tell the servant to keep a watch upon her actions. On Thursday afternoon last she called on witness on her road from' the City. She appeared in a very melancholy state, and asked wit ness to come to her in the evening; and on her going to the house shortly after five o'clock, she was informed of the attempt Mrs. Sanderson had made on her life, and found the deceased lying on the bed quite dead and cold. On seeing her the mother exclaimed " I have killed my baby, and if Mary (meaning the servant) had not come in, I should have killed myself too, and we should then have been happy together." Afterwards she put her hand into her pocket, and produced a piece of tape (shown to the jury), saying to witness, " Take this, it's what I have done the deed with ; rub it against the marks on the necks of the other chil dren, and it will cure them, as it is now charmed." By a Juror—The other children were born with some marks upon them, but very slight, and they are now scarcely observable. By the CORONER—Afro. Sanderson's father and sister had died while labouring under an attack of mental derangement, and I have not the least doubt that her mind was deranged at the time she killed the deceased, and made an attempt on her own life. The medical evidence was also to the same purport as that which has already appeared. The CORONER summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Emma Sander son," and the witnesses were hound over to prosecute. Upon the unfortunate woman being removed to the Shoreditch workhouse shortly after her apprehension, and during the rnawentary absence of thri stable v, ho had her id custody, she succeeded in ob taining possession of a table knife, with which she was about to cut her throat, when, the constable ar- EASTER 1101 aDAYS.

The City of Dublin Steam-packet Company's ship Royal Adelaide, Captain John Batty, plying between the ports of Cork and London, left the former city on Wednesday afternoon with a full cargo of goods and, it is said, about 250 passengers,jouehed off Plymouth on Thursday evening, left that port for London on Friday morning at three o'clock, and - was totally lost on the Tongue Sand, off Margate, at eleven o'clock on Saturday night, when there is too much reason to fear every soul on board perished. The. Royal Adelaide was due at the Dublin, Bel fast, and Cork steam-wharf, Lower East Smithfield, on Saturday evening, but, as a strong head wind prevailed against all vessels coming up Channel, her absence, up to midnight, caused very little anxiety. When morning ca me , an d t h ere were st ill no t idi ngs of the mis s i ng vesse l , Mr. Davidson, the com pany's manager a t t h e wharf, felt some uneasiness, but, as it was supposed that an accident to her machinery might have partly disabled her, and thus caused the delay, 'she was confidently looked for every hour during the day up to four o'clock, when the first intimation of the terrible catastrophe reached London. The bearer of the melancholy intelligence was William Coe, a river pilot, in the service of the company, who was in waiting at Gravesend to take charge of the Royal Adelaide from that place to the Pool. About two o'clock on Sunday, one Charles Gillman, a Deal pilot, who had that morning brought -a large barque up Channel, which was then lying at anchor off Graves end, saw Coe on the pier -head, and asked him what ship he was waiting for. Coe replied that he had been expecting the Royal Adelaide since the previous evening, and was very anxious on the subject of her non-arrival. Gillman then informed him that on Saturday evening, shortly after he had taken charge of the barque, a large black steamer, without figurehead, and having a great many passengers on deck, passed his ship steaming up Channel. The sea was running very high, and he could not make out the name of the steamer, but she bore every resemblance to the boats of the Dublin Company. At 11 o'clock the same night, shortly after having passed the Tongue lightship, when about 15 miles from the coast of Margate, as Gillman informed Coe, his barque passed a large steamer about three-quarters of a mile distant, from which signals of distress were fired in rapid succes sion. The steamer, from her position, was evidently on the sand, but as the wind blew a perfect gale, Gillman said it was quite impossible to render any assistance. They threw up rockets in reply to the signals, in the hope that they might be observed from the shore, but as the night was very dark and hazy, he believed there was too much reason to fear they had never been seen. The description of the vessel given by Gillman corresponding exactly with that of the Royal Adelaide, especially the absence of of any figurehead to the ship, a peculiarity which marks nearly the whole fleet of steamers belonging to this company, Coe felt satisfied that his worst an ticipations were realised, and that the unfortunate ship wrecked on the sand was no other than that for which he had been so anxiously looking. He imme diately came on to London with Gillman, and com municated the sad intelligence to the company's manager, Mr. Davidson. Yesterday morning the company received corrobo rative intelligence from Captain Manning, master of the Malcolm Brown, screw-steamer, which arrived off the Tower on Sunday evening from Guernsey and Jersey. Captain Manning reports, that about half-past nine o'clock on Sunday morning, when off the North Foreland, about 12 miles from shore and between two and three from the Tongue lightship, ho observed the wreck of a large steamer on the Tongue Sand. The weather was very stormy, the wind blowing almost a gale from S.S.A., so that they could only approach within three-quarters of a mile of the spot where the wreck lay. From this point, they perceived that the masts and funnel were - gone, and everything upon dock swept clean away. Not a soul could be seen on board. The stern of the vessel was apparently gone, and it was evident s h e w as f as t breaking up. The framework of both paddle-boxes was standing, and the stanchions of the bulwarks, but the boards were gone. They endeavoured to discover the name of the vessel, but could not. They, how ever, observed that she was painted black, and had no figurehead. Captain Manning further stated that the wreck bore all the appearance of having taken place a very few hours previously. The Duke of Cornwall, Captain Higgins, another steamer belonging to the same company, and plying between London and Dublin, arrived in the River at 2 o'clock yesterday, and reports having passed the wreck at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. The vessel had then entirely broken up, and the framework of her machinery was the only portion visible above water. The Roscommon screw-steamer, cattle-laden, from Holland, also arrived in the River yesterday after noun, and reports having passed the wreck, and ob served several articles bearing the private mark of the London and Dublin Steam-packet Company floating over the Tongue Sand. The latest intelligence on the subject of the wreck reached the company's offices by electric telegraph at 4 o'clock yesterday. It comes from Lloyd's agent at Margate, who states that the wreck is now covered at high water. Two bodies, supposed to be those of Passeng e r s on board the ill-fated ship, had been washed ashore about half-au-hour previous to the date of his dispatch (half-past 3 o'clock). The precise spot where the vessel was wrecked is about two or three cables' length south-west from the Lower Tongue buoy near the entrance of the Prince's and Queen's Channels.

By the advicea which have been received from Cork there appears to have been a greater number than usual shipped in Ireland, but until it is known how many landed at Plymouth on Thursday evening no correct estimate of the num ber lost can be formed.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—In another portion of our columns will be found a letter from a correspondent upon the oft mooted question of Chancery reform. The contents of this letter are substantially identical with the statements made by Lord Brougham the other night 'in the House of Lords, on introducing his Bill for a partial reform of the Court of Chancery. The same facts and the same deductions are contained in the letter as in the speech; but we publish it in the hope that many persons who have not looked through the speech may take the trouble to peruse the letter. It would hays been strange indeed had a strong move ment for the reform of equity practice been in course of progress without the apparition of Lord Brougham upon the scene. However much at times we may be disposed to smile at the readiness with which he ! thrusts himself forward upon questions entirely re moved from his experience, or at the pertinacity with which be defends his random impressions, on the subject of law reform at least he is entitled to be heard with attention and respect. We will not say that the propositions he has made have always been the beat planned and best digested that might have been devised; but throughout his devious ca reer, at least this praise cannot he denied to Lord Brougham, that he has set more brains to work upon the propriety of reforming our system of legal ad ministration than any other man of his period. We can scarcely look for a union of the conveyancer's cautious foresight with the backwoodsman'," buoyant energy—and Lord Brougham is an adept in the art of " clearing." A mass of legal rubbish, now hap pily obsolete through his strenuous exertions, rise gratefully to our reeolleCtion in connexion with his name. The hope of obtaining complete and entire satisfaction upon the question of Chancery reform by a coup de main would be a mere delusion. All that we can reasonably expect is to assist from time to time those amongst the numerous assailants of the Chancery who are pointing their attacks against seri ous and substantial grievances. It was but the ether day that Sir John Romilly, feeling, no doubt. the difficulty of grappling with the phalanx of Eng lish practitioners by a straitforward attack, endeavoured, by executing a flank movement in Ireland, to take them in the rear, and we most earnestly and sincerely trust that his manoeuvre may be crowned with complete success. As we dealt with the subject at length when the Learned Solicitor-General brought for ward his propositions, it would be needless to racapitulate here the abuses and errors of equity practice, common to the two divisions of the empire, against which his proposals were directed. But it will be remembered that one of the most vigorous attacks made against his measure con sisted in the suggestion that even if some trivial Idefects did exist in the administration of our equity system, the proper remedy was by order of the Court, rather than by Act of Parliament. Lord Brougham's new Bill, it now appears, is to be met by the same kind of objection. There is 'to be a re commendation that all intermeddling in the matter be postponed until the Chancellor himself mero motu shall take order with the abuses of adminisration suits, against which the reformatory measure is di rected. Neither in this instance, nor in any other where there exists any anxiety to serve the cause of progress, is such a proposition admissible. Once and again the task of reform has been intrusted to the hands .of the Chancellor, and the experiment has turned out a complete failure. Ten years ago, five years were given to that great dignitary to set his court in order; not only was power given, but he was authoritati ve ly an d i n t erms requ i red to exercise it for the benefit of the suitors, but all in vain. At the expiration of the first term, yet another term of, five years was given to the reluctant judge, but the second term has expired as the first expired before it ; and nothing has been done. What, then, can we say to a recommendation for a third extension of the period of grace, but to meet it with the too famous formula "C' est trop turd." And, after all, why this irrational desire to postpone useful changes, and to paralyse the hands of their proposers ? Let any one read either in .Lord Brougham's speech, or in the letter of our correspondent, a succinct account of the evils against which the Bill for simplifying ad ministration suits in Chancery by extending the powers of the Masters is directed, and judge for him self not only of the extent of the evil, but of the ab solute absence of any well grounded motive even for interested opposition. If the subjects of a country cannot obtain cheap justice before its tribunals their course is obvious enough. They either set their brains to work to discover methods of evading the law, or they do without it altogether. In the case of administrations, executors who have the slightest re gard for the interests of those beneficially interested in the contents of a will prefer the latter alternative. It appears, on comparing the figures obtained from the probate returns with the number of administra tion suits actually instituted in the Court of Chan cery, that nine-tenths of the cases are kept out of the court by the delays and enormous and intolerable expense of its proceedings. In our correspondent's letter will be seen set out at length the several steps of an administration suit, upon which the judge, when it comes before him, makes an order as of course. It must be remembered that from the first there is no real litigation. The parties interested are not at issue as to any simple question of law or fact ; they are made to pay 2001. or 300/. for the observance of a parcel of trumpery and irrelevant forms. There are office copies of the bill ; then close copies ; an swers in draught; the engrossments ; a special com mission to swear; a special messenger to take the an swer to London—for it is not allowed to send it by post ; more office copies ; more close copies; coun• set's opinion on evidence ; interrogatories to prove wills, if any real property be involved; more special commissions to examine more witnesses; more evi dence taken in secret; more special messengers to London ; more office copies, and so on, through inter minable rounds of delay, vexation, and expense., And all these are mere questions of the most idle and un necessary form. It would be equally rational to corn pel the British subject who desired to pass from Upper Baker-street to Hampstead-hill to walk seventy-one times round the outer circle, and one hundred and seventy-three times round the inner cir cle of the Regent's-park, and to call these enforced perambulations necessary solemnities. There are few men so completely isolated from commerce or connexion with their fellow-creatures that they are not called upon at one period or other of their lives to discharge the office of executor or trustee. What case more common than to find a widow with a family of young children thrown upon the world with no support or protection but that of the one or two friends whom her husband may have named executors of his will ? Not many instances, we believe, exist in such cases of persons either refusing , or renouncing the trust, but yet, owing to the preposterous system of our law, an executor finds himself exposed to one or other of two very painful alternatives. If he should make up his mind to pull through with the estate as he best can without seeking for protection in the proper quarter, he may in his person, or in his heirs and representa tives, become almost at any indefinite time the victim of his disinterestedness, and be required to satisfy a debt of his testator's of the very existence of which he had no conception, notwithstanding that he had used his best effoies to discover the liabilities of the estate. If bee be not sufficiently interested in the legatees and heirs to take such a course, he has no alternative but to apply to the Court of Chancery, at an expense which, if the estate be a small one, will go far to swallow up its value. It is against this evil that Lord Brougham's Bill is directed. He pro poses to commence consent administration suits in the Master's-office, and to give an immediate and cheap appeal to the Court, should any party be dissatisfied. TIME S.—The elaborate report on the public health of the metropolis submitted by Mr. Simon to the City Commissioners of Sewers has received the formal consideration of a select committee of that body, and the two documents, taken in conjunction, present a very fair synopsis of the works comprehended under the general description of sanitary improvements. Speaking broadly, we may resolve all the nine heads specially reported on into the one single condition cf the removal of all offensive matters from the dwelling places of the living. The absolute execution of this provision would render the sanitary state of a c it y almost unexceptionable in so far as it depended upon human agencies. Two great branches of the subject are obviously distinguishable —one referrini, to the effectual abstraction of the neces s a r y refuse of a city, and the other to the prevention of all such practices as are plainly offensive to public health. Under the first is included a scientific system of sewerage ; under the second, the regulations pertaining to the in terment of the dead, and to various pursuits and trades involving consequences unwholesome to the population at large. To some extent, perhaps, we may separate from the former of these conditions the necessity of a copious water•supply, and consider it as a distinct requirement ; but when we have done so, and stipulated for a'systematic suPerversion on the part of the municipal authorities, we shall have ennutnerated all the points to which Mr. Simon and 4- 1 - (3 sanitary ewnrilittee have found it needful' ro attend. Good seweLlge ineltid,.s both house dra;n age and street drainage, although until the Con . mencement of the present year the former portion of the a rrangements was wholly withdrawn from the control of public officers, whose authority terminated at the door of private dwelling-houses. The conse quence has been That communication with the main sewers have been made without any regularity or com pleteness, and that although the city of London passes tor one of the best-drained cities of Europe as tar as street sewerage is concerned, one-third et least of its houses, according to the most favourable computation, remain still undrained. In these cases the raise is left, to accumulate. in cesspools which are, or should be, peri „ clically emptied, and the demand for reform in this respect may be inferred from the fact that 5,414 of these sinks are estimated to exist within the ;units of the City, though the total number of houses is only set at 16,300. Fortunately it , is now competent to the authorities to enforce house drainage in connexion with street sewerage, and we may therefore anticipate that a remedy will be soon- applied to an evil which bears with peculiar hardship on the poorer classes of the population. After these preliminary arrangements the great question of outletl is that on which every-, thing depends. Next to relieving the dwellings of individuals comes the duty of cleansing the town •at large. Somewhere or other the main sewers must discharge themselves, and the method or direction of this outfall has been the principal object of recent' sanitary researches. In common with many other simple-minded people, the committee which has been considering Mr. Simon's report, conceived that there was a certain'body of men highly qualified by talent and education, and invested with extensive command ever the purses of their fellow. citizens; whose express and particular commission it was to determine this all-important question, and, accordingly, in the inno cency of their h ear t s , w hil e ac k now l edg i ng the urgency of some measure for the purification of the Thames, they propose to await the result of the pending inquiry respecting the "system of drainage for the whole metropolis and the question of outfall for the same"—little thinking that the said " question of outfall" would be quietly shelved, and that the great Metropolitan Sewers Commission would come to no ether conclusion than a confession of their own impotence or perversity. Meantime one of the 170 gentlemen whose suggestions were dis missed in a lump by the Greek-street Commissioners, as deficient, inadequate, and impracticable, has modestly gone to work on his account, at the mouth of the Puddle-dock sewer, and is bidding fair to solve the problem which Lord Ebrington and his col leagues are spending 100,0001. a year to prove impos sible. " The Thames can never be cleansed," says Sir John Burgoyne. "Water can never be forced up to the tops of houses," said his prototypes in the days of Elizabeth. The Dutchman, however, soon settled the doubts of his generation; and as much will in fallibly be done for ours before the Metropolitan Commissioners can spend another quarter of a mil lion. The passage of the Atlantic by steam was proved to be impracticable in the very month in which the Great Western entered New York harbour. As regards avocations and practices prejudicial to public health, the difficulties are, of course confined to the suggestions of interested opposition. There is a pretty general consent about facts. Intramural slaughtering receives the unequivocal condemnation of the commit tee, nor can we doubt that the particular pursuits carried on in Smithfield upon cattle days are included in the " other offensive trades" by which the clause is rendered duly comprehensive. It was, perhaps, no more than was decorour, considering the present stage of the question, to leave the subject of parochial interments without any further allusion than a casual approval of the proposed reform. Evidence has already been given that the City autaorities are in this respect fully awake to their duties, and the inter ference of the Legislature will shortly bring the ques tien to a conclusive issue. As the law stands at pre-. sent, even the utmost exertions of the sanitary officers backed by the general consent of the population and the terrors of a pestilence, were found inadequate to prevail against the obstinacy or interests of individuals. All these are matters of general expediency. But Mr. Simon's Commission extended beyond the esta blishment of mere sanitary principles, and his ap pointment was, in fact, a testimony to the anxiety felt by the inhabitants of London to bring their city under such practical order as should secure pure air anti wholesome lodging to all classes of the population, and thus diminish those causes which aggravate so seriously the mortality of the whole. With this view an ex urination was instituted into the dwellings of the poor, and it was opposed even to maintain a staff of officers for the permanent exercise of this supervision. Sufficient attention has not bsen paid to the fiict that until proper lodging-houses have been extensively constructed every metropolitan " im provement" adds to the misery and discomfort of those classes who are thus driven within a circle growing narrower and narrower day after diy. People must lodge somewhere, even if they can pay hut eighteenpence a week rent, and, in proportion as the courts and alleys where this accommodation was pro vided are destroyed to make room for another class of habitations, the state of those which remain becomes worse and worse. The committee have admitted the principle of Mr. Simon's recommendations on this head, and have so far acceded to his suggestions as to advise an outlay of 2501. per annum upon the acqui sition of proper and continuous information respecting the localities in question, so that the first appearance of infectious diseases may be instantly noted, and means promptly adopted to encounter the enemy. On the whole, the City Commissioners have substan tially concurred with all the recommendations of their officer of health, and it is to be hoped that this co-operation may develope itself in some visible results before another hour of peril comes upon us. ENTERTAINMENT AT THE MA NSION- HOUSE. The customary Easter Entertainment at the Man sion-house took place last night, when the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor entertained to dinner the Aldermen and Common Councilmen and their families. There were also present the French Am bassador, the American Minister, the Bolivian Mi nister, the Bishop of St.:Asaph, Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., Sir William Molesworth, M.P., Mr. Cartels, M.P., Mr. Mitchell, M.P., Mr. F.

The Aldermen of the City were also present, in their robes of office, and a great number of the members of the Common Council. The Egyptian Hall was decorated as on the former memorable occasion, when the heads of the various municipalities of the empire were entertained by the Lord Mayor with his characteristic hospitality. After the usual loyal and constitutional toasts had been given. The LORD MAYOR proposed " his Excellency the French Ambassador and the Foreign Ministers." The FRENCH AMBASSADOR returned thanks on be half of himself and his colleagues. He had already been such a frequent guest at this festive board, that he considered himself almost at home in the civic selfish vanity, fur was he not hall where they were now assembled.—(Great ap plause.) He was proud of the welcome they had given him, not from any fin even from a sense of personal grat ification, o f sensible that these kindnesses had a view towards the country he had the honour to represent—(Applau.se)— and he was fully convinced that nothing could be more conducive to the welfare both of France and England than the continuance of a friendly under standing,between the respective countries.—(Cheers ) Th e AMERICAN MINISTER said he hardly knew how to express his gratitude to the Lord Mayor for the frequent opportunities he had afforded him of par taking of his splendid hospitality. He was there as representing a nation speaking the same language, governed by the same laws, and having the same re ligion with themselves.—(Applause). He was there as a cousin of their own—(Loud applause)—and he had now to return thanks on the part of the country he represented. He was present in the largest, the richest, the mightiest, city on the face of the earth— (Applause) —and this mighty city had been created through the instrumentality of commerce —commerce, the greatest pioneer of civilization all over the world. —(Great applause.) He was present in this great city, renowned in history, renowned for its charitable institutions—renowned for its commerce—renowned in literature, science, and arts—renowned, too, in war, and he hoped it would hereafter be as greatly renowned in peace. He had partaken to-night of the loving cup, which lie understood to pledge those w ho drank it to friendship, and a determination t) stand by each other. He had sipped of that cup 111 rho name of twenty-two millions of the people—(Cheers)them —and if he had the power, he would briu gieers.) here and make them sipof it too. —(Loud He begged to conclude by proposing, ft s a t o ast, history " City of London, renowned in the annals rea of fur its commerce, hospitality, and charity —renowned above all for its devotion to the cause of civil and re ligious liberty."—(Loud cheers.)

Asaris returned thanks, and presscd his cordial concurrence in the sentiments so eloquently expressed by the French and American Ministers. lie recollected haring been brought pp LATEST FROM THE UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—The arrival of the steam ship, Canada, places us in possession of two weeks' later intelligence from the leading Cities and p orts of the :New World than that brought over by the last steamer. The Canada left New York on the 20th ult., and after the usual call at Halifax, on the 22nd, passed Holyhead at three this afternoon, arriving here a short time sinc9. In addition to the mails, the steamer has a large number of passengers on board. Mr. Calhoun was not expected to survive above a few hours. _ Upwards of 80 lives hid been lost by the" burning ofn steamer on the Alabama river. The expedition in search of Sir John Franklin which has been started by private subscription will consist of two or three schooners suitable for the navigation of the Arctic seas, of from 70 to 90 tons burden. Lieutenant Derhaven, who was attached to the exploring expedition, had accepted the command of the enterprise, and would sail on the Ist of May. From California we have advices to the Ist of 'eb ruary. Wet weather had nearly put a stop to busi. nets. The inundation of the Sacramento had sub . sided.

The Council at San Francisco had established a chain gang of criminal:, for the purpose of employing them in public improvements. A slight earthquake had been ex. perienced. Mechanical trades were on the increase. Many vessels were letiVing daily. The population of San Francisco alone was esti mated at 50,000. The prices for meat and vegetables were very high, An effort was making to form Benechia into the chief port of the Pacific. All the accounts agreed that a fair yield has been derived from the mines. Pressure of money was great. We have dates from Kingston, Jamaica, to the Ist of March. A Protectionist meeting, convened by the mayor, failed in consequence of the scanty attendance. Her Majesty's ships Trincomalee, Imaum, Sappho, and Vixen, were in Port Royal harbour. Dates from the city of Mexico to the 19th of Feb.

This popular suburban fair commenced yesterday in all its pristine glory, with every prsopect of fine weather, and of a rich harvest for the "show folks," who appear this year to have provided many addi tional attractions of an amusing and varied character. The time-honoured temple of Thespis, of the late " Muster" Richardson, is reared on its accustomed site, while Algar's Monstre Pavilion is devoted to the votaries of Terpsichore ; then there are menageries, though happily without " Lion Queens," tents for equestrian and acrobatic exercises, performances on the tight-rope, slack-wire, &c., with innumerable panoramas and dioramas of California with the " dig a g, ins " likewise mechanical exhibiti ons o f t h e " sea serpent," which, together with a h os t o f T om Th um bs, nigger melodists, banjo play e r s , s p o tt e d world,"b o ys,li f v o in rm g skeletons,ed,,thebi ll of otherd an re , for the ho "wondersl holiday y of v s h i e . tors, who, during the afternoon, flocked in vast crowds into the town, the transit to and from the metropolis being remarkably rapid, and the fares, both per rail and steamer, exceedingly moderate. Exclusive of the fair, there are many objects of interest in Greenwich and its vicinity, not the least of which is the famed Palace Hospital and the Painted Hall, with its ceiling, the work of Sir James Thorn hill, marble floor, and pictorial walls. The portraits are placed in seniority of rank, and the historical paintings ranged according to the date of action. Here are also statues of these great naval commanders _Nelson,!Howe, Duncan, and St. Vincent. The cu rious may be accommodated with an inspection o f Nelson's hat, coat, and silk stockings. At the en trance to the park there is the Royal Naval um, affording accommodation for 800 boys arid ' .A 371 00 girls, the children of seamen of the royal navy. Not far from the eastern gate, in the gar den of the keeper, stands the venerable oak which has o utlived the cele brated Fairlop oak. Then there is the Observatory, built by Charles H , for Flainstead) the Royal As tronomer. AIM in s tooortnidtee-mason, i t 0 ___•—fr- , ____.. , ._- -- ---- -- , named Roulette, a . .

The scaffold erected was a ccordinglY at an early hour, at the Barriere St. Jacques; but few people assembled. Roulette was not aware that his a ppeal to the Court of Cassation had been rejected, and from his conduct in his cell in the prison of La Roquette, i t a ppeared that he had confidently calculated on having his sentence commuted. When told his last hour had arrived he a ppeared thunder-struck, turned deadly pale, and fell on the door. Assistance was immediately afforded him, and he par tially recovered. Tfte chaplain, the Abbe Montea, attempted to administer religious consolation, but for a long time his efforts Were unavailing, the prisoner understanding nothing. After a while the wretched man demanded a glass of water, to which some cordial was added, and this appeared to re store him a little. He was then removed to a waiting-rocm, where the last preparations were made. Wben the Abh6 is • sisted him to walk towards the vehicle which was to convey him to the ban ier, he said—" Thank you ? I die like a lamb ! Will God pardon me." He uttered no other words, and on his way listened to, but apparently without understanding, the exhortations of the priest. On arriving at the Barriere St. Jacques, he had almost entirely lost all consciousness, and it required two lawn to carry him to the foot of the scaf fold. 1 uere he turned to embrace his confessor, but though supported by the executioners, his weakness was such that he fell into the Abbe's arms, and almost knocked him down. He was carried on to the platform, placed in the required po eitiev, and A etwad ater the lila: tell,....raris :Ver. ,
