FRANCE. ... 1 ... 2 The Messag•er has the following on the Ministerial crisis : "We have to request the reader not to confound the information which we are about . to give with the approximate news which find their way . so easily . into journals, and often unknown to the chief . editor. At a Cabinet Council held a few days back, with the President of the Republic in the chair, that high functionary proposed plainly to his . Ministers . to repeal the law of May 31. That proposition was ener getically opposed by the_ majority of the Cabinet, and particularly by M. Leon Faucher. The President having persisted , the Ministers then tendered their res i gn ation. The Minister of the Interior declared that for his part he would not keep his portfolio unless the law in question was maintained, and M. de Persigny sent away on some foreign mission. Two days after this council, the Prefect of Police waited on the President of the Republic, and, after long and fruitless efforts to convince the head of the executive power of the danger of repealing the law of May 31, also tendered his resignation. We are, consequently, in the midst of a ministerial crisis; it is even more than a mere ministerial crisis, f o r th e withdrawal of M. Carlier indicates a change of sys tem. Different opinions may be formed of the Pre fect o . f Police, but it is the judgment o f th e p u bli c which fixes the signification of political men, and public opinion has made of M. Carlier one of the personifications of resistance to the revolution. The withdrawal of M. Carlier consequently would signify that the Government is no longer disposed to persist in the political system which it has hitherto pursued. What could confirm this indication is the fact that well-informed persons assert that AI. E. de Girardin bad, three days ago, a conference with the President of the Republic. M. Veron, it is said, openly . ad vocates the formati on of a De Larnartine Ministry, in which, perhaps, M. de Girardin would enter. In the event of this combination succeeding, measures of the highest importance would be proposed at the same time as the abrogation of the law of the 31st May, such as the abolitio n of the octroi duties, a re duction of the land-tax, and in order to make up for the deficiency of the budget that this would occasion, a considerable reduction of the army. There is finally on the tapis a combination much less eccen tric, but which i s more difficult of realization. It is contemplated to form a Ministry, of which M. Odilon Barrot and M. Casa Bianca should be members. It is not probable, however, that M. Barrot would enter the Cabinet without conditions, and certain conditions would not be agreed to. All this is grave. It is pos- B ible,however, that from this moun t a i n th ere w ill o nly issue a few phrases, in a message, perhaps. It is, however, the duty of the journals to inform the public of what passes. Public opinion once warmed is a force by which many resolutions are destroyed." GERMAN Y. A Frankfort journal of the 11th states that more political arrests have been made at Hamburgh. The engineer of the English steamer the Elbe having been arrested, and his papers seized, there were found in them some information which led to the several other arrests. The King of Prussia arrived at Pillnitz on the ith, where the King of Saxony is at present. The Voss Gazette, of Berlin, states that the Prus sian Chambers are to meet on Nov. O. A letter from Berlin states that the German Diet have authorised the different states of Germany to abo lA the censorship of the press, provided due provision be made by the law agaiust the abuse of liberty. HOLLAND. Tun HAGuE, OCT. 11.—The Commission for exa mining the budget for 1852 3 has given in the follow ing retKrt : The present system of taxation calls for ameliora tion, but by no moans for a radical r&orzr. It would be des,rable to abolish some duties and to substitute others in their room, but the Government project of abolishirg the duty on combustibles does not appear feaiible. The duty on provisions of every kind falling chiefly upon the lower classes, it would be best to commence the reduc tion of taxation in that quartfr." Then follows the list of articles in which the sections propose the abolition of duty, and likewise a list, in which it is proposed a fresh duty shall be On the discussion of the surplus fund of the revenue of the colonieu, amounting to 9,800,00011., the Chamber were of opinion that a portion of this sum should he applied to the payment of the interest on the colonial loan, and the remainder go to meet the current expen diture of the I,?gisiature. Prince Henry opened the Legislative Session of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg on the 9i) ; in his speech he dwelt chiefly upon the necessity of intro ducing some projects of commercial improvements. ITALY. A. letter from Rome, in the Lombardo Veneto of the 4th, states that the Pontifical Government is still trying, though in vain, to form a Papal army. The revival of the Order of Malta is spoken of at Rome ; but the chief obstacle to such a measure is the disper sion of the vast property formerly belonging to the Order, in Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Austria, and Poland. The writer adds, that in conse quence of the refusal of the Federal Council of Berne to allow a Papal army to be recruited in Switzerland, the King of Naples will send his own Swiss regiment to the Pope, which are to pass for having come fresh from Switzerland, thus eluding the article of the convention passed between the four Catholic powers, which stipulates that no Neapolitan troops are to occupy the Roman States.— In another part of the letter it is stated that among the various persons lately arrested at Rome and in other parts of the Pontifical States, there are two monks, one of whom was found inscribed in the muster-roll of Garrihaldi's The Giornale delle Due Sicilic announces the death of Prince Don Giuseppe Maria, Count of Lucerne, one of the sons of the Kinz of Naples, which occurred on the 28th ult. The Prince was only three years and a half old. MU RDER BY A FEMALE AT DAVENTRY.

She had a piece of narrow tape, such as i s used for apron strings, tied round the throat, and one end was fastened to a small hook in the window -blind. On the husband's return, he at once suspected that she had been murdered, though the prevailing opinion at the time was that it was a case of suicide. Cir cumstances, however, have come to light, which have induced the police of the town to effect the captur e of Mrs. Pinckard, the wife of the deceased's son, on suspicion of having murdered the old lady. _The d eceased, it seems, some time s i nce h a d l e f t her b d y t a h n uncle t h e i nterest o f 1 , 000/., w hi c h a t h er iZ i on . i `‘ i as to be divided among her children.

A company has been advertised for working one of the California mines belonging to Colonel Fremont. The title is to be the Agua Fria Gold Mining Com pany, and the proposed capital is 100,0001. in it. shares, to be paid in full. It is situated to the south east of San Francisco in the Mariposa district, and, ac- . . cording to the prospectus, the vein of gold quartz .o be explored is supposed to be of an average thick ness of four feet, commencing at the summit of a bill of 150 feet above an adjoining creek, and containing 18,000 tons between that and the water level. Speci mens :of the' vein, assumed to be of an average quality, have been essayed at the United States' Mint and in London, and have also been tested at the Bank of England, and would give a gross value of 8701. per cwt. Almost inexhaustible profits are there fore held out as the prospect of bringing machinery to bear upon this single spot. Unlike some pre vious concerns that have been noticed, its direc tion is entirely composed of persons of unques tionable respectability, and there is also reason to believe that those who are interested in the mine, as the original lessees under Colonel Fre mont, are acting with perfect sincerity. They have deposited, it is said, specimens to the value of 5,0001., in token of their good faith, to be applicable as a guarantee fur all expenses previously to the working of the mine, and they also appear to have backed their representations with the best evidencce that was avail able. In the face of these things, however, it is ne cessary to caution the public against wild anticipa tions. The speculation is a legitimate and desirable one, but it is still thoroughly a speculation. Assuming the machinery to be safely on the ground, and large gains in course of realization, those gains must be shared in a great degree with the persons employed. There are also other contingencies to be taken into account—possible contests regarding rights, the diffi culties of supervision, Scc. It is, moreover, to be noticed that if even these points be set aside, the real question of profit to the English shareholders must depend entirely upon a matter upon which the pros• pectus is not explicit, namely—the consideration they are to pay to the lessees for the privilege of working. It is announced that " the terms on which the assign ment has been received are such as, under the cir cumstances, must be considered most liberal ;" but their precise nature should, if possible, have been fully stated. The last accounts from Sydney regarding the gold region reached to the 26th June, but were extremely meagre. Full particulars to that date have now ar rived, and it will be seen from the following extracts that they are very satisfactory : Extract of letter dated Bathurst, 23d June, relative to the Turon gold diggins:— " I started in company with —, and reached the Turon about 1 o'clock, followed the river up about two miles, and found the party. After partaking of dinner joined the diggins on the river bank, and tried my band at the rocker. Continued at this that afternoon and next day, and then cried ' enough.' We got some gold dust, but not much, and from all the inquiries I made I found that every one procured some, quite suf ficient to repay the working man, but not enough to make it worth a gentleman's while to forego his other occupations and more legitimate modes of making money. A party of three men, by working steadily, may realise from two to three ounces a-week ; and as it is all dust there, and every shovelful contains some, all may get a certain proportion. There have been no lumps dug up at the Turon, so there is less chance, and con sequently less excitement. My opinion is that it will re solve itself into a steady article of production, a new' ex port from the colony, upon which a very large popula tion may be employed, but without any detriment to the other branches of industry in the country. A propor tion of the population will become gold-diggers, but sufficient, in a very short time, for all the other wants of the colonists will be procurable at present wages. All gloomy apprehensions have completely subsided in this district, and I should hope before long will in all others. Shepherds and men accustomed to light work will never attempt to get a living by digging; as soon should I think of doing so; and should future discoveries, like the Turon, require constant steady hard work to be re munerative, there is little fear of old hands taking Extract from letter dated Bathurst, 25th June, relative to discovery of gold and its effect on sheep farmers in the neighbourhood. "I am happy to state that everything at my station up to this period is going on satisfactorily, not a single person leaving, nor any inclination evinced to do so. In stead of apprehensions of scarcity of labour, there is every reason to anticipate a plentiful supply from the dis appointed parties at the diggins. " They are flocking here from all quarters, some well equipped, others the reverse. At the same time fresh fields of gold are almost daily discovered, and the metal will no doubt be obtained in other parts of the colony, and thus Equalise labour in the several districts. Yet I am inclined to think the largest field will be found here, and if so, I think that existing interests will be rather improved than injured, and that fresh resources will be developed. The carcase of the sheep will be more pro fitable, while the fleece in the London market will main tain a remunerative price. On the whole, the gold dia u)very will ultimately be attended with glorious results, and tne colony will advance rapidly. " The proportion of the fortunate is small compared with the bulk, but that will always be the case when every man thinks he has as good a chance as his neigh bour. lam informed that at the Turon the gold has not yet been found in lumpy, but there is abundance in sma t parcels, and most persons at work find a more taiu return fur their labour, procuring nearly iez. per day on average. I could purchase gold here to advantage if I had the fund-31. prr oz. f, , r dust free from quartz; the piece which the Governor purchased was ()tiered to me at 645. per oz." ALLEGED POISONING BY A MOTHER. BATH, OCT. 10.—The circumstances of an extra ordinary charge of poisoning, which was preferred against a very respectable looking woman yesterday, have been already briefly narrated in The Sun. At the private investigation before the magistrates the prisoner stated her name to be Elizabeth Slater, the charge against her being that of attempting the life of her child, by the administration of poison. This morning a public examination was commenced in the Sessions Court of the Guildhall, before Mr. F. Dowding (mayor), and several other magistrates. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Williams, of the firm of Taylor and Williams, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Hellings. The alleged husband of the prisoner, Mr. Slater, and who it transpired is really Mr. Crosby, a solicitor, in practice at Bristol, was in attendance, and took notes of the evidence. The prisoner, whose real name is Elizabeth Lewis, has hitherto carried on a highly respectable seminary, in conjunction with her mother, at Redland, near Bristol. She appeared very faint and ill, but occasionally passed notes to Mr. Crosby during the proceedings. Mrs. Searle, wife of James B. Searle, chemist, of No. 28, Claverton-street, Widcombe, deposed that the first time the prisoner came to her house vim on Sa turday, the 7th of June last. She then took furnished apartments for one week, stating that her husband, Mr. Slater, would be there on Monday, and, if he approved of the rooms, they would take them for a month or six weeks. The prisoner appeared in the family -way. She gave her name as Mrs. Slater. On Monday she went to the railway station to meet her husband, and returned with a gentleman who called himself Mr. Slater. He remained a short time, and then went away again. [The witness was here asked if that gentleman was present, when she pointed out Mr. Crosby, who was sitting by the side of Mr. Hel lings.] The prisoner was confined on Tuesday, the 10th, of a girl. She was attended by Mr. Lawrence, surgeon, who was recommended by witness. The prisoner remained about a month at Mr. Searle's, leaving on the 4th of July. The child was dry nursed, and healthy. The prisoner arranged with witness for nursing the child, the sum to be paid being 105. per week, besides extra for washing. A. fortnight after the prisoner left, she called, in Company with Mr. Slater, and saw the baby. At the end of another fortnight they called again. 1b?5 , . went int,) the drawing-room, and desired witness loungin er wards to bring the baby up to them, which she did.

The prisoner called on the eh f ild lowing day, accompanied by Mr. Slater. That was I. on the 13th of September. They t oo k tea andre mained about two hours, the child bei ng with them alone part of the time. Witness told them the child had been very unwell, and she had had great trouble with it. They expressed their satisfaction at the way the child was nursed, and the baby was not worse on that evening. Last Saturday fortnight the prisoners called again between eleven and twelve o'clock in the morning. The baby `pfas asleep i n th e par l our on th e so f a .

The baby wipe its mouth when was going to fetch a towel to miad, and vi , p , . en the prisoner told her not to i pod its mauth wi • th her pocket handket chief. After the prisoner left the child was again seized with sickness and diarrhcea, but not so violent as before. The next visit of the prisoner was on Saturday last, when she asked if she could have a room to herself. Witness told her the drawing rooms were let, and she had no room except a bed room, where she would be alone. She accepted that, and the baby was taken to her. She said she was very glad to see the baby so much better. Witness left the room, and on her return the prisoner was nursing the child, and again said it was inclined to be sick. The baby vomited, and had diarrhoea afterwards ; but not so violent, and it seemed very weak and prostrate. The pri soner called again last Tuesday. She appeared very excited. She inquired if she could have a room alone. Before that, on going into the parlour, witness found the prisoner in a corner of the room with the child in her arms, where she could not be seen from the shop. A police inspector was in the shop, but prisoner did not know it. She was afterwards in the bedroom about twenty minutes with the child. When the child was brought down to witness, she found it had been sick over its nightgown. The child was very prostrate afterwards, and suffered from sickness and diarrhcc3, and remains very ill now. The nightgown and napkins were given to the police inspector. The child appeared, also, on these occasions to have a dif ficulty in swallowing. Cross-examined by Mr. Hellings—The prisoner came to my house on the 9th of June, and was confined on the following day. Once or twice the baby sucked to relieve the mother ; that was all. She did not con tinue to suck for ten days. I don't know how long she did. I can't swear anything about it. When she used to suckle her the baby was fed upon milk and water. During the month the baby bad tops and bot toms and different foods. Mr. Lawrence was applied to by the prisoner to recommend a nurse for a month. I said I had no objection to take charge of the child myself, as Mrs. Slater said she was going to London, and that was agreed to. She appeared to be very fond of the baby, and I think it likely she told me to take all possible care of it. She made me a present of a shawl before she left. When she left she did not say " Mind take care of the baby." She directed me to inform her if anything happened to the baby, and I would not swear she did not give me directions if it was ill to call in Mr. Lawrence. She came to see the baby about a fortnight after she left, but I do not know that my husband wrote to her first. I believe not. The baby never would retain much milk on her stomach; she was sick when she took much ; she would never retain it. Tops and bottoms and arrowroot were given it—the former are farina ceous food manufactured entirely for babies. I swear the prisoner never wrote to me requesting that I would get Revelenta. We got Revelenta for the baby. When we get letters of no importance we destroy them at once generally. The proceedings, which had lasted nearly six hours, were then adjourned. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 11. (Before Mr. Commissioner EvAlis.) IN RE GRAHAM. The bankrupt, James Graham, was a warehouse man, in Noble-street. This was the last examina tion meeting. The following items are on the balance sheet, extending over five years, up to August, 1851 : —creditors, unsecured, 1,271/. ; liability, 36/. ; pro fits, 1,1461. ; debtors, good, 1021. ; losses, 4001. ; trade expenses, 9181. ; domestic, 1,0201. Mr. IL Linklater, for the assignees, did not oppose ; he thought the accounts the best that could be ren dered. The bankrupt passed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. John Pearson was brought up, charged with hav ing defrauded a great number of watchmakers and others. A multitude of victims attended the exami nation of the prisoner, which excited no small degree of interest and curiosity. Mr. Benjamin, of Bevis-marks, watchmaker, said-- The prisoner called upon me for work, and I con sented to give him half the price he asked for finishing a watch movement. He told me he preferred work ing in his own house, that his name was Mills, and he lived at 27, Compton-street, Goswell-street, and that he would let me have the movement in two or three days at furthest. He never came with the work, and I went to look after him, and found that he was not known at the place. Yesterday he came again, and he said to me, " Mr. Benjamin, you gave my brother a watch movement to finish, and I am sorry to say that he dropped down dead yesterday, and if you wish to see him he is now lying dead in his coffin."— (Laughter.) I said, " Wiled your.brother I" He said, " Yes ; there's four of us, and if you saw us all together you would not know the difference." " Well," says I, " it's a shocking thing to think of." " Oh," he replied, " it is a very bad business, and he had a watch movement of yours. Now, if you let me have a sample of watches to finish I shall bring them all home to you finished." I sent for a policeman and gave him into custody, when he said his name was not Mills but Pearson, and he lived at the Model Lodg ing -house in Drury-lane. I gave the trade notice that be was in custody. Mr. Benjamin Simmonds, of Bury-street, St. Mary Axe, sail the prisoner applied to me at the end of August for work as a watch finisher and escapement maker. He mentioned the names of several indus trious and respectable men, and I had every confidence in him, and gave him a watch movement, which he was to brink back finished in three days. He said his name was John Pearson, and that he lived at 3ts or 39, Waterloo-street, St. Luke's. I went to that address, where I was told that he had lived there, but that he had absconded from the house two months before, leaving his wife and family upon the parish. Mr. Henry Lazarus, of Jury-street, Houndsditch, said—On Monday fortnight the prisoner called upon me and solicited work. I said I was not in immediate want of a workman, and that I should, if I employed a man, require respectable references as to the qua lity of his work. He said he had nothing to show, but he might have borrowed a good specimen, but was too respectable for that sort of business. I still refused to employ him without a reference, but he used such extraordinary address that I was induced to intrust him with two watch movements. In another case the prisoner obtained 'a Geneva watch and two movements for alteration, and sent the owner the duplicates of the articles. W. Neale, servant to Sir A. de Rothschild, of 2, Grosvenor-place, said—On the 29± of August the prisoner called at our house to inquire for a man who is known to me, and who he said bought a watch of him. He said he worked for Mr. Dent two or three days in the week, but he did the business at his pri vate residence; that he had just been at Miss Burdett Coutts', and had got the movement of a watch from that lady's butler. He then took a movement out of his pocket, and showed it to me, saying that if I had anything to do he could do it cheaper and better than it was done in the shops. He then went away, but he came again on the following day to thank me for the information I had given him about the man he inquired for. Believing the man to be respectable, my fellow-servants showed him and asked his opinion of watches they had pur chased of a courier. He said that they were all good watches, but that one of them, which belonged to a female servant, wanted a little repair, and he took out the movement and returned the case, and went away, saying that he would return next day and maks all right. There were a great many more cases against the prisoner, who said he would give the officer all the information necessary upon the subject, and that he had been very miserable for a length of time. The prisoner was then remanded. GUILDHALL. Charles Martin and Thomas Blowes, two ruffianly looking cabmen, were charged before Alderman Sir R. W. Carden with the following daring attempt at highway robbery. Mr. Charles Watson, a cloth worker, 0f59, London wall, said—l had occasion to visit a friend at Stoke Newington yesterday evening, and engaged the pri soner Martin to drive me down. I left there to re turn home about half-past eleven the same night, and on the way frequently urged Martin to drive rapidly back. I observed Blowes following the cab at Stoke Newington, and particularly noticed that Martin was purposely loitering on the road. On arriving at Finsbury-pavement I got out of the cab, and was about to pay the fare, when Blowes suddenly made his appearance and snatched at my watch-guard, and succeeded only in pulling it out of my pocket. Martin was standing behind me holding me by the collar. I called for assistance and gave the prisoners had -e d Crboesesnpattairine dn.ldhebrye was y t n in o into cu s t o d y . — al l ter d c id ati n on ot fare. about say you e Ite- • exammed—l missed one sovereign from my pocket, but I c feotly sober.

Thinking h a was tri Stoke Newington had fare I asked Blowes to stop himY, nLilo bilk me of my Mr. Mtson—There is not one word a seta e ensued. that prisoner has stated. of truth in all Blowes said—l went down to Stoke Newington With Martin to see a brother of mine , an d cave back with him. I have been cut of employment about a fortnight, and left my last master because the " oases" was not good enough for me. Sir R. W. CARDEN—It appears to me that this is a conspicacy between you both to rob Mr. Watson of his watch and chain, and had not the police ren dered assistance in time, I have no doubt but that you would have succeeded. It is evident that Blowes had that object in view, and that Martin was co-ope rating with him in loitering on the road t o e nable him to keep pace with the cab. Under these circum stances I shall deprive you both of your licences as cab-drivers, but I should not be doing my duty to the public if I allowed you to escape so easily. I shall, therefore, sentence you to fourteen days' impri sonment in the House of Correction with hard labour. Dividend 1 Amount Same of Company. per of Paid. Price. Annum.

On Saturday James Robinson, a labourer, was brought up on remand, before Mr. Yardley, charged with cutting and wounding Michael Macdonald with intent to murder or do him grievous bodily harm. The prosecutor appeared in court with his face bandaged, and in a weakly condi►tion from loss of blood. The following certificate was banded to the magis ;rate : " This is to certify that Michael Macdonald is under surgical treatment for a deep incised wound in the left cheek. The wound appears to have been caused by some sharp cutting instrument, as a knife, rsz &c. The said Michael Macdonald is not yet cut of danger. " WILLIAM STORY, M.R.C.S." It appeared from the evidence that both parties were living in the same honse in Duff's-fields, Brom ley, on Wednesday. The prosecutor had resolved upon seeking a new dwelling-place, and the landlord of it went to his lodgins in Duff's-fields to satisfy himself of Macdonald's respectability, and in doing so passed through the prisoner's room. Robinson's wife made some complaint on the subject, and com municated with her husband when he came home. At that time the prosecutor was in his own room, seated on a choir, with his head resting on the pillow of his bed. While he was in this position, and fast asleep, the prisoner stole into the room, made a fierce attack upon him, and kicked him violently on the mouth, by which his lip was cut and some of his teeth were loosened. The astonished prosecutor, as soon as he was thoroughly awakened, defended himself as well as he was able, and seeing a knife in the pri soner's hand exclaimed, " Put the knife away, and I'll fight you fair." The prisoner immediately blew out a lighted candle in the room, and both me❑ were left in the dark. A scuffle ensued, and the prisoner cut Macdonald in the face, inflicting a most serious wound, which extended right down his left cheek and penetrated to the bone. Macdonald called out that he was stabbed, and several persons went into the room, and, amongst others, Parritt, a police-constable, 260 K, who found the prosecutor bleeding copiously from the wound. There was a pool of blood on the floor, and the furniture was also stained with blood, of which the prosecutor lost a very large quantity. Parritt lost no time in taking the prosecutor to the nearest surgeon, who sewed up the wound. The man is disfigured for life. Mr. Pelham, who attended for the prisoner, was instructed to deny, in the most positive manner, that a knife was used at all, and hinted that Macdonald fell over a pail ; which he denied. The prosecutor also denied that he was beating his wife, and that the prisoner interfered in her be half. fie was certain a knife or razor was used. Mr. YARDLEY ordered that the depositions should be taken, and the prisoner committed, but owing to the unavoidable absence of Mr. Story remanded him till Tuesday next. MURDER AND SUICIDE AT BERMONDSEY A catastrophe, if not similar in degree, at least similar in character to that which so recently oc curred at Camberwell, and some particulars of which appeared in Saturday's Sun, took place on Friday afternoon last, in Bridge-street, Bermondsey New town. The parties concerned moved in a very humble sphere of life, still the occurrence, lamentable and fearful, as will be seen by the subjoined proceedings at the inquest, caused considerable excitement in Bermondsey, Dockhead, the vicinity of Tooley-street, and in the Borough. On Saturday, at half-past three o'clock, the inquest was held by Mr. W. Carter, coroner for East Surrey, and a jury of fourteen parishioners, at the Fleece, Great Gorge-street, Bermondsey New-town. Robert Sutcliffe, a bootmaker, living in the same house with the deceased persons, said—About half past four on Friday afternoon, the little girl, Harriet Newman, was wanted by me, and Mrs. Staines, the landlady of the house, called her, and she went for a loaf of bread for me and brought it. She was then in good health. Having executed the errand, she went up stairs to her mother's room on the first floor. In about five minutes she came running down, screaming, and crying "Oh, dear !" Upon this my wife opened the door of our room, which is on the ground-floor back, and the little girl ran in. I saw that blood was streaming down her person from her throat, and said " What's to do ?" She replied, " Mother has done this." I jumped up and said, " Oh, dear, her throat is cut !" Mrs. Staines, the landlady, came running in from the back yard and said, " Go for a doctor." As I was going the little girl followed me, and as soon as she got into the street she fell into the arms of a female—Mrs. Horn, living next door, whose son went for medical assistance, which arrived in about ten minutes. She was then carried up stairs and put into a warm bath, and I understand she died in ten minutes afterwards. The name of the father of the child is John Newman, and he is a mason's labourer. He was not at home when this happened, and there was no one there at the time on a visit to his wife. I went up stairs with the wounded girl, and saw her mother lying on the floor under the window, with her head towards the bedstead, and her throat cut exten sively. She was dressed. There was a great pool of blood about her on the floor. She was dead. I saw an open razor covered with blood in the doctor's hand. I apprehend she caused her own death and that of her daughter. I am satisfied on the point. The landlady was in the yard at the time, and my wife was with me in my room. There was nobody else in the house. I think she cut the child's throat first and then her own. I had not seen the mother, Mrs. Newman, for three weeks, because during that time she was con fined to her bed and room with rheumatic fever. She had been under medical treatment. A gentleman from a dispensary attended her. By a juror —Whilst the child was gone on an errand for me, her mother inquired for her, and being told whither she had gone she said, in an unusually harsh tone, " Send her up to me the moment she comes in. Caroline Edwards examined About twenty minutes past four on Friday I heard Mrs. Horn screaming, and holding a child on the step of her own door, next to that of deceased's. I crossed the street, and saw that the child was bleeding. Mrs. Horn had put a towel around the little girl's neck. I asked what was the matter, and they said, "It has cut its throat ;" and Mrs. Staines, the landlady, said to me, " Look after the poor mother." I went upstairs into the decased woman's room, and I saw her lying on the floor at the foot of the bed. She appeared to me to be quite dead. I picked up an open razor, which was very much covered with blood, and which lay on the floor near deceased's feet. Three or four doctors came, and the child was brought upstairs to her mother's room, and there died in about ten minutes. Her throat was cut, but she had no other injuries upon her person. Charles Slow, parish constable, said that in conse quence of certain information he proceeded to 23, Bridge•street, and there saw the deceased persons, and received from the last witness the razor produced. He examined the premises and saw no marks indica tive of any one having escaped from them. Mr. W. R. Raby, surgeon, of Napoleon Cottage, Neckinger•road, examined—On Friday afternoon I was called to the house in question, and my attention was first dir ec t e d t o th e dec ease d c hild, w h o was sitting on the door step of the next house, and a woman supporti ng h e r. I examin e d h e r and found she had. received a transverse wound in the throat, about five inche s i n leng No part of the wound th. The external jugular on the right side was cut through. was deeper th an a quar t er o f an inch, but he was of opinion that it was the cause of the child's death, and that it was inflicted not by the child herself, but by another person. I saw the mother of the child, and found that she had received an extensive, clear, incised wound in the throat, in length about six inches, and very deep, about three inches. The jugular vein and carotid artery were divided, and so was the windpipe. The wound was of a decidedly mortal character. He should judge that the wound was inflicted by herself. Frances Morgan, the mother and grandmother of the deceased woman and child, said she believed her daughter died by her own hand, and that it was she who had destroyed her child. During her illness she seemed frequently deranged in her mind, and she had never fully recovered. Sometimes she did not know what she was saying. John Newman, the husband, was then examined, and said he left his wife a little after two o'clock. She seemed better then, and he had no suspicion that she would do any rash act. During her illness she scarcely slept at all. She was continually waking him at night, though she did not want anything. He believed her to have been partly insane. The CORONER summed up, and stated that no matter in what state of mind a party may be, if be or she kill another, it is by law an act of homicide or murder, and that court had no power of discharging the party, no matter how insane he may be, of the crime. Superior courts might do so. The jury then returned the following verdict : "That the deceased, Harriett Newman, was wilfully murdered by her mother, Mary Anna Newman ; and that the said Mary Anna Newman committed suicide, being at the time in an unsound state of mind."

Its doors are closed to the general public, and it is now left for the pen of the his torian to convey to future generations an adequate idea of its magnitude, its grandeur, and its success:. Yhilo sophers and politicians will trace its influences upon the civilized portion of the human race; and as hitherto monuments have been left upon the battle field to commemorate the physical triumphs of man, so, hereafter, some pillar will be set up to mark the spot where the arts of peace were shown to be more glorious than those of war. Long has Hyde-park dis played a memorial to the prowess of the sword, and at length the period is arriving when a similar tribute may be erected, to remind the world of the time and place when and where the nations of the earth struggled to show their superiority in the peaceful arts. Hitherto the doors on Saturday have nut been thrown open until twelve, but on this occasion the public were admitted as early as nine o'clock. From the latter hour until the approach of evening a continued stream of visitors flowed into the building, almost without in terruption. Of course, the price of admission being half-a-crown debarred the humbler classes of society from taking a last farewell of the gorgeous spectacle ; but, although generally speaking the visitors were of the higher order, a few smock frocks were here and there visible. The season tickets, natu rally enough, mustered in great force. Inside, every. thing went on as smoothly as heretofore, and with the exception of the notices that the Exhibition would close that day, there was nothing to be seen or heard that would have induced a stranger to believe that in a few days the vast and valuable collection of arts and manufactures before him wore to be again distributed over the world. True, in some few places symptoms of packing up were visible, but the casual observer could detect nothing in the shape of preparations for a removal. The sculpture rooms appeared to be the chief centre of attraction, par ticularly the one in the Austrian Department, where Monti's exquisite figure of the •" Veiled Vestal" as usual came in fur a considerable share of admiration. The sculpture, indeed, seemed to engage general attention, kut every part of the building bad its multi tudes of visitors, and as each object was examined and admired, a feeling of disappointment or rather regret was audibly expressed that the hour had come when the en chanting scene must close for ever. The numbers re turned by the police were as follow: Ten o'clock ... 4,790 Eleven 10,707 Twelve ... ... 19,207 One 27,311 Two ... 34,841 Three ... ... 42,870 Four ... 49,731 At five o'clock on Saturday the transept and surround ing galleries were densely crowded, and the heat and pressure extremely groat, but as it was understood that there would be some demonstration at the close, the fair visitors endured without wincing the inconveniences of their position. At length the National Anthem was played by the organs, the choristers and visitors and Herr Sommer joining in with a zeal and enthusiasm that have seldom been equalled. Right royal and hearty English cheers repeated three times three, and each time with increased vehemence, followed, and this scene was repeated at either end of the building by the persons assembled there. A second attempt to get up the National Anthem was put a stop to by the bells and gongs commencing to ring out the visitors. It was 20 minutes past five when the bells began to ring, to warn the company it was time to depart. From this moment a most extraordinary scene ensued. There was continual cheering from every quarter for Prince Albert, for Lord Granville, for Mr. Yemen, for the Royal Commissioners, &e. At a quarter to six the bell was again rung, but still nobody appeared to take any notice of it. The police now began to endeavour to induce the visitors to leave the building, which they were only at last enabled to effect by forming themselves, in conjunction with the Sappers and Miners, into par ties, and, blocking up certain portions, gradually moving every person towards the egress doors, from which they were not allowed to return. Thus the Exhibition was at last closed, though it was not until long past seven that the whole of the lingering company was got out of the building.

The Medical Director-General, Dr. Sir William Burnett, has been paying an official visit to Devon port. The Chief Director of Engineering and Architec tural Works, Colonel Green, with his assistant, Mr. Scamp, have returned to Somerset -house, from in specting the Admiralty works at Devonport. We have heard nothing as to the precise alteration sug gested in the department at Devonport, but we be lieve a reconstruction of the staff will take place before the next estimates are made up, when most probably the services of the Director of Works there, Lieutenant-Colonel Williams, will be dispensed with. This gallant officer, it should be understood, is lent from the corps of Royal Engineers, and receives pay from both the army and navy votes ; but it is held that an officer of his rank would be more in place in taking his turn of duty abroad or at home in the re gular service of the Royal Engineers. —Herald.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] -- Holloway's Ointment and Pills, a most excellent remedy for Abscesses and Old Wounds. —Thomas Edwards, a labourer in Portsmouth Dockyard, re ceived a severe hurt in his thigh, about four years back, by a piece of timber falling on him. An abscess formed in conse quence of the injury, which defied the most eminent surgeons to heal, and he was consequently pronounced incurable, and put on the superannuated list with a pension. Being now at liberty to try other remedies, he commenced using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which have so :effectually cured him that he enjoys good health, and is as well able to work as any man. —Sold by all venders of medicines, and at Professor Hollo way's EStAbligrnicilt ; 244, Strand, LyrlQn.
