TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN 611 t)--During the pre sent week, Fortune, despite her ficklent ss, has awarded me a very fair modicum of sue e9sse Which my sporting clients es well as myself are not likely to grumble at. Reap?cling the Wolver mmpton race' in my last observations on the Stakes I 'elected Ma:corker or Goldfinder to win e . with Snow- Storm in close attendance; not being able to get " the money" on Cloth worker, his skinning was out of the (Plastic)° he run for fuo, or for the amusement of the Greenhorns -not skilled in turf mysteries. My other selection Goldfinder, won comparatively easy, and Snow 11_,tmln was in close attendance; the latter's mischievous '9 . has not }et arrived; keep him, however, well in Zell', he will b e "i n, " un d er seven stone present ly, t h en ' e e time to invest a trifle of the circulating medium on it is chance. As I surmised, Alonzo won the Trial St akes with the most perfect ease, end The Prime kinister walked over for the Produce Stakes. The r d udely rby crack was bandaged up to the knees, did not lo o k p ar ticul ar ly a tt ra ctive to his St. Leger backers; I am afraid his chance at Doncaster is not -a irY brilliant one. First Iruits, also in the Produce 2 814 8, went to the scene or baton, but did not start; his 112 c, appearanc e , and action while out at exercise in the morning looked very promising. I placed Clothworker thi rd for the Cleveland Cup. and Hippogriff first ; the la t ter went qu eer , a nd th e former won, which verified r • T. Purr's words that " Clothworker should win one • tif the prin c ip a l races at W o l ver h em pt u u." My Fancy's !but was a triumphant one; she carried my judg ment through victeriou,ly, by winning the Chil lie g i toe Stakes with ease. Fur the ratahull Stakes ihl ha ced Grief first, Le Juif second, and Green Oaks i' i ttit the result justified my so doing, as Grief was mrst, Le Juif nowhere! and Green Oaks obtained the thi rd place. For the Holyoake Stakes my judgment tah rearviise, I placed Egret first and Administrator sec ond; they were beaten by Leap Year and ran home the second and third, instead of the first and second At Huntingdon I was perfectly correct with prong"s Timid F awn for the Huntingdon Handicap; but j;in the Two-years-old Stakes. At Reading, my udgment ran second with Cranberry to Melford for the f rkehi re S ta k es; b ut was successfu l w i t h G rey 7 ommy .„. °r the Reading Stakes. One or those singular i t enouece. :Nue th a t are occsaienally made at " the Corner" ; 11 % sent f ort h y es t e rday by Mr. Tattersall, who had ee "ivtd cominueic4tit.n from a frieod of Mr. Martinson':, to Mr which he stated that unless some individual betted "Lr Martinson the odds at- 5 to 1 to 1,0001, Nancy would rt start for the Ebor H tndicap. This announcement thfi effect of checking speculation on that race, more particularly with respect to the mare, who was, how- Z e rr quoted at three to one. A curious rumour has 1 1 " credited in certain quarters with respect to Toe h It tlborough Buck ; it goes so fist as to declare that he es- hroken a rib or a leg, or something ot that kind; sete happy to say that I can give it the most ut-qualified -qtradie ion; the horde, as hate as yesterday, was doing r6 d work and lo o kin g uncommouly well; nothing o 114 surprise me less than to see him sweep the at Yorkshire Stakes into his owner's pocket, h „ Y et e ' L with ease too. Ore of the two great Ni a ere meetings, that at York, commences on ed oesday next with the Dundee Stakes, the entries f which wuich have not yet been made. The meeting this Year, bids fair to rival the paltriest of its predecessors, if to to surpass them, one and all, in value, sport, weather, hue a ttendance, four important constituents or s racing ii„ bei ". The value ot the stakes run for in 1848 6, - 2 "eled to 7,595/ ; in 1849 to 6,8201; in 1850 to 8° , 851 ; and in the oreseut extraordinlify year,' it is h oPosed. that they will surpass all of these by some E rd reds. The first great stake on Wednesday' is the tp r St. Leger, of 25 sous. each, with 'CO added, &e., se ; Miles over t h e o l d course . Tilts stake has twenty - the % subs, t o it, b u t it w ill surpass my expectation it re odd seven are sent to the post. At the present I t i t , eKn wing I should say that ihe race would lie between jwIiIiNSTER and THE CONFESSOR, and that if the) the former he will be undoubtedly the winner. be Colt Sapling Stakes of 50 soya. each, 30 ft. t i ' ) l26 mile, will be won by CLAVERHousE it they lease to run him; otht rwi-,e, I must look to my second a 1• d third—A ugur and Y oung H awt h orn, f or t h e w i nner. a~Yorkshire Wks of 15 soya. each, 5 ft, with 100 d. &e, one mile and a quarter, sports no less than / t tY•five nominations, including Iris. 9.t, whose running Cam by no means certain ot ; Con fi dence, Bst 71b; brt'', Bst 71b; The Squaw, Bst 71b; Vivand:ere, Bst; i.tins, Bsi; and Brehm, fist.

The Cernmoditre of the New York Yacht Cluos has written to. she E,irl of Wilton, the Commodore or the Royal Yacht it•quadron. tasting that it is his intention to enter 'his yam,: the America for this match. This has given it an extra interest, as there has been so much talk ahem her, her build, her rig, and her sailing qualities. She has been here a fortnight, and been underweigh only three. Mane, and on each occasion has bad only two sails bet on her. They state that they came here merely to try the rate of sailing of the New World's vessels against the Old. that their object is not betting; still they daily see the R.)) al Yacht Squadron yachts bailing about, but never attempt to try their compatadve speed. They have suit a challenge to tail any vessel in the squadron for any sum up to 10.000 guineas. This looks very like gambling, seeing that tt.ey know what their vessel can du, and What the sailing qualities of the numerous yachts by which they are surrounded, but that no ono else does know anything about their vessel. They calculate their 10,000 guineas are safe, or, we guess, they would never have given the challenge. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. To-night The Alhambra attains its hundredth repro sontation after an uninterrupted run since Baster. On its production 'a e prognosticated an extraordinary suc cess for this humorou% production of Albert smith's, with its accessories of beautiful scenery and costume, not forgetting the glorious comiculities of '' the bounding bricks o'• Babylon," and the extraordinary gambols of the pet monkey, more marvellous even fur the Heal to naturo than tor the agile power displayed by the im personator. The admirable collection of histrionic talent in this theatre under the present management has justly ensured a season of signal brilliancy. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean, the, first tragedian.and. the first actress in the highest walk of comedy—Mr. and Mrs. Keeley, the first of broad comedians—Mr. Flexmore, the first of pantomimists—Messrs. Harley, Wigan, and a host of painstaking performers, have had their talents advanta geously and prominently brought forward, and public approbation and support have proved, as they will, we feel assured, continue to prove, the result of so folicitotis and liberal a course ot management. The house is nightly crowded to overfl,wina. CREMORNE FOURTH NAVAL FETE. Mr. Simpson continutis to cater to the public amuse ment with brilliant success. The fourth naval 16:e at these delightful gardens, took place last night, under such extended and spirited patronage that leaves no doubt of their successful adaptation to the ta• , te of the yt ar. The grand heights of Gibraltar, accessible only to Brilish anus, and garrisoned by the Cremorne reti nue, were artistically represented, and a fleet of steamers, kindly lent by the Iron and Citizen Steam Companies, manned by tneir efficient servants, represents d the Spanish naval force, who, in the year 1705, stormed their former favourite hold, and lust their ships and their men in the prolonged but useless struggle. The Cheva lier Mortram represented the gallant Governor, substi tuting the more brilliant, but less deadly, Roman balls fur cannon balls; acid Supetititendrnt Burney happily impersonated the haughty bpatitAl Admiral directing the discharge of the Spanish fite, while the iron boats sup• ported the endangered battery. For some time pyro technic ability displayed the art of naval carfare in every minute particular, till the moment arrived for the explosion of the Admiral's vessels, which decided the taw of the day; and the present force of the Spaniard is to be revived and reorgan:zed for the future amusement of Cremorno's liberal supporters. GREAT FIRE AT tIAVRE. On the 12th inst. the ship-yard of one of the largest builders in France was for several hours a prey to fire. Shortly after midnight the generale was sounded in the streets of Havre, and it was soon found that the building-sheds of M. Normand, in the suburb of Perrey, were in flames. Immediately the alarm was given the authorities of Havre and Ingou ville, about 500 men of the Ist Light Infantry, the fire brigades of the three communes, the Custom house i fficers, with the gendarmerie, police, and national guards, repaired iu haste to the scene of the disaster. It was found that the fire had broken out in the large block of workshops in the centre of the dock, and the flames, which rose in broad masses, lighted up the horizon. From this centre the flames, favoured by the high combustibility of the materials collected there, extended to the frame on which rested the magnificent steamer Normandy and a schooner yacht iu course of construction fur M. Cay lus. Words cannot describe the appearance presented at this moment by this scene of desolation. The elegant liues of the steamer and schooner, which the flames enveloped on every side, showed grandly at times through the smoke, and occasionally as-utned the most fantastic forms and proportions. Seen from the shore, the two vessels had the appearance of resting on a sea of fire, and being beaten by its waves. Notwithstanding the efforts the of workmen, the flames made short work v.ith the two ships. At the end of an hour the cradle of the Normandy was level with the grout.d, and the vessel, reduced to a mere hulk, lay upon it as upon its bier. Of the once promising schooner there remained but a few smoking embers. From the beginning it was seen that it would be impossible to save these two vessels from destruction, after the flames had once invaded them. All the energies of the workmen were therefore directed with a view to circumscribe as much as possible the ra vages of the fire. This end was partially attained. steamer C'.gne, constructed for the company or Messageries Nationales, was saved from the destruc tive action of the fire, which, however, charred her sides for a considerable length. Toe citizens behaved with the greatest courage, and per st-vered in their endeavours, in spite of the shower of fire wh - cb rained around. A fine shore boat, destined lo take part in the approaching regattas, was dragged from the midst of the fire, and conveyed to a place 01 safety. By great exertion the great workshop situate in the Rue Perrey, as well us the immense stacks m timber piled in the northern part of the yard, was also saved. The lousy sustained, as far as appears a' present, is about 400 0001, Ihe proprietor was In sured for a portion of the damage, but neither of the vessels were included in the policy. Happily the di• rection of the wind at the time hindered the progress of ale flames, otherwise Perrey must have been great danger of destruction, and Havre had hardly escaped. A great ship now building in the yard of M. Vasse, contiguous to that of M. Norniand, was for a short time menaced by the flames from the Cygoe, but was fortunately saved. A HIGH SHERIFF IN DIFFICULTY. It will no doubt be in toe recoil. c4ian of many per sons that the High Sheriff of Suffolk, in Match last, was placed in no very pleasant position in censequ,nce of cite services of a hangman not being obtainable to carry into execution the last sentence of the law upon Maris Clarke fur the murder of her illegitimate child, by ourying it alive in the parish of Wingfield. The hige: eb,,rrif, novtever, ou that occasion was sp tired an unpl,a cant duty by a reprieve c tuning down for the condemned woman two days be ore that on which her execution was to have taken place. At the assiz•a held at Iva. .vkh, on the 2d inst., Maria Emily Cage was wen.. nuilty of the murder of her husband, James Cage, at Stonham Aspel, by administering to him a certain qu tntity of arsenic. Her execution was ordered to take place ou Saturday next in front of the Ipswich County Gaol, but the same difficulty was sgain presented as in March. Calcraft, the hangman, on being applied to, could not attend as be had promised to perform a similar office the same morning at Norwich. An application was next made to the hangman at Warwick gaol, but that functionary could not attend, as he would be engaged at Shrewsbury on the Saturday. A messenger ' was then dispatched to the Secretary of S,ate's s ffice• who 4. xp!aintd the unpleasant position in which the High Sheriff of Suffolk was placed, and requested that the execution of Mary Emily Cage might be postponed. The answer from the Secretary of State was to the eff ct that no alteration as to the day named could be made; thus leaving the high sheriff to get out of the difficulty .been could to bet h in the best way h e cou ld .

A man of the name of Joshua Smith had upwards of twenty ulcers on his shins, which were so difficult to cure that almost every remedy had been applied without any good effect.

RYDE, THURSDAY EVENING. —The attendance of fashiunables ou the pier this clay was by no Meand so numerous as on Wednesday, partly caused by the heavy showers of rain that have lalln at intervals during the. day, and , partly in consequence of the only matter in teierence to the Victoria Yacht Club being the annual dinner at the club house. Several fresh yachts, however, arrived during the day, who will contend for :he prizes to-morrow. At the closing•of the report on Wednesday evening only some slight facts were given as to the progress of the race for the prize of 1001. for achts of ell nations, in cons quenco of the lateness of the hour at which they were started and the excessive length of the course, being completely round the Isle of Wight, which deficiency will now be supplied, and to give as connected a detail as possible it may be necessary to recapitulate the movements of the vessels from the starting point im mediately opposite to the pier. • At the time of starting, et forty minutes after two, it was nearly a dead calm, with light airs from the eastward, and but little progress was made by any of the yachts for nearly half an hour, when the wind " flying" round to the west, and the Arrow being at the rime the weathermost vessel. she took the lead, but with a very trifling advance,' followed closely by the Cygnet, who took close on her quarters the Bac chante. After her at some distance came the Icelia, and in close company the Secret, Alarm, and Brilliant. The latter yacht schooner, being 393 tons, in the absence of sufficient wind to tighten her large mainsail, fell into the rear, the lighter cutters not experiencing the same difficulry in maintaining their relative positions. They continued in this order, with a difference of a slight na ture elf Lymington, when the Cygnet shifting her jib, tho Alarm weathered her off this point by about oee board._ The advantage was but of temporary duration, ror soon after the Alarm slightly touched the ground and split her jib; but this latter accident was speedily reme died, and it can hardly be considered to have altered her chances in the match. The Cygnet soon after recovered her place, and in workirg through the Needles, took the advance of the Arrow, rounding it first in the fol lowing order:— Cygnet Arruw B ice h an to b. m. s. ... 7 45 0 ... 7 43 0 ... 8 12 0 Shortly t.fter the two leading vessels bad passed Ly mington. the .I.aota cutter, 75, Twyscien flodgcs, gut egroun4, and so much time being lost through this oireucnstaueue, she here gave up the contest acid pro cetded no further. This was much to be regretted, as ,0 test of tier sailing could then be obtained. The remuinin'g vessels did not arrive at the Needles until nearly halt an hour after the three above named. and in cons, quence of a thick fog coming on, it was im possible to ascertain how they arrived. The Cygnet and trrow having now got round to the back of the iskno, wall a fair course before them, a must interesting con eat ensued b.tween them as to who abould claim the onz , , as the pretensions of all the others were now corn piece'', out of the question, and nothing could exceed he beauty of their sailing qualities. so nearly balanced were their respective merits. They kept their position ogether until arriving off 'Ventnor, it blowing a fine :feah breeze from the west at the time, when the Arrow vegan slightly to advance, and this without any demerit , ;o the Cygnet when it is considered that the Arrow is 84 tons, and the Cygnet but 35. The Arrow now hoisted .n immense amount of 'canvas, and by this mellis she was enabled to overpower her smaller rival, arriving at he ITab,Light as follows: h. m. 8.

On the — startingof the yachts the Wildfire, not en ered. took a weather station of the yachts in the match, fur the purpose of terving her qualities, which place she kept until nearly off Hurst Castle, when the wind fresh ,,ned, and she was soou left in the rear. the celebrated American yacht America, J. R. Ste phens, Esq, joined the squadron in the Cowes roads, in eompahy with the Pearl, belonging to the Marquis of Anglesey, having only her staysail and foresail sit, and continued with the c, ntending vessels up the West Channel, and again gave proof of her good qualities and excellent trim, and there can be no doubt that she will be a tormidable rival to any yacht who will take up her challenge and contend against her. So sanguine are her owners of her superior prowess that they are ready, we understand, to back her to almost any amount. The club dinner is to be held this evening at the club house, and is expected to be very numerously s'tended, and the performances at the theatre were wider the pa tronage of George Holland Ackers Esq., the cwino• done of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, 'mes Chum oerlayne, Etq., vice-commodore, and the members of the club. _ _ At a late period in the day a novel species of amuse ment was provided for the visitors. A pig was fastened up in a barrel, which was lashed at the end of a pole, pro j- cling from the pier into tne sea, the surtsce of the pole being thickly greased, and whoever could walk along the top and liberate the pig was entitlei to receive the same. Innumerable attempts were made to reach the required spot, the con,equence in euch case being a good quilting. After a great number of trials, a boy named Shirley was fortunate in reaching the spot, and lei out the pig into the water amidst roars of laughter. It was soon recovered, and he walked off ,n t6ttinph with his prize.

Tut' LSDAY.—TiI iS morning the Lords of the Admiralty embarked horn tho Sally i,ort•seaie.3, Portfinifeth ; and weet on board the Bri tannia, 120, Ceptein Yates, to inspect her officers and crew, Admiral Superintendent Prescott, C. 8., whose flag the Britannia carries, was on board to receive their Lordships. Trience the Bold went on hoard the Blenheim steam guerdship, Captain W. H. Hen derson, C. 13., and made a similar isispection ; after which the party. divided, when Sir Francis Baring, Captain Milne, Mr. Parker, and Captain Hamilton, proceeded to the Royal Clarence Victuallitig_yard (Captain Superintendent Sir Edward Parry, F.R.S.), and thence to the Royal Naval Hospital at Hasler (also under the superintendence of Sir E. Parry), which establishments they duly inspected. In the former establishment-a most disgraceful discovery bas just been made. A large quantity of preserved meats in tin canisters, amounting to some thousands of pounds in weight, were delivered at the Royal Clarence Victualling -yard lately. Shortly after being stored it became evident from the stench that a great portion of the meat was in an unsound state, which, upon examination, proved to be the case. As the contractor had been paid the amount of his contract, if the authorities of the yard had thrown the meat overboard, the Admiralty would not have been able to return it, or demand a proper fulfilment of the con• tract. Another plan was tried. Mr. Greetham, solicitor to the Admiralty at this port, requested two respectable inhabitants of Gosport to hold a survey on it. Mr. George Adams and Mr. Robert Hyalop ac cordingly went to the yard this week for that purpose, and, in the presence of Mr,Peneold, the storekeeper, those gentlemen examined the cases. Such was the shameful state in which' the meat bad been packed, that the surveyors hastened to leave the store, and one of the men was taken ill and remained so for some hours from the effects of the effluvia which he inhaled. Dr. Andrew Clark, of Harder Hospital, and Dr. Rundle, of High-street, Gosport, were then desired to draw up a report upon the subject, which they did in a very skilful manner. In the meantime, Messrs. Adams and Hyslop have stated the case to the board of guardians of the parish of Alverstoke, who, it is rumoured, intend to indict the Admiralty on the ground that it is injurious to the public health to have such a quantity of putrid meat at Gosport. The case will be heard before the county magistrates on Saturday next. Meanwhile Rear• Admiral Berkeley, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, and Captain Eden em barked with Rear-Admiral Prescott in his galley, and landed at the north corner of the dockyard ; they went thence on board the Termagant and Blazer steam vessels, in the basin; after which they proceeded up the 3ard, and transacted business with Mr. Ed wards, the storekeeper, and went thence on board the Rodney, 92, Captain Charles Graham, in dock. After funding this party at the north corner the barge re turned to the Blenheim for Rear- Admiral Dundas, whom she landed at the Custom house stairs, whence he proceeded to the George Hotel, where all the members met soon after. In the evening their Lord ship entertained most sumptuously the heads of de partments at dinner. To-morrow, we are informed, they will inspect the Excellent gunnery-ship, Captain H. D. Chads, C. 8., and Portland Breakwater, &c. TRIAL OF JOHN WINDSOR FOR THE MURDER OF WS WIFE. (From the Milford (Delaware) Beacon). The triel of Captain John Windsor, a Waal.by ciTizen of this county, is now terminated in our Court of Oyer and Ternainsr at Georgetown. Captain Win leer is a man of wealth, and jealousy was the cause of the murder, as will be seen by the testimony and the admissions of the prisoner. The Attorney- General opened the case to the jury. He enlarged upon the grave character of the case, and the enormity of the charge—defined the crime of murder, and said that it was justly punishable with death by the laws of God and man. He then stated the leading facts of the case as they would be proved by the prosecution. On the lat of May, 1850, the defendant deliberately wrote out a paper referring to his wife and to the contemplated crime. Oa the next day he loaded his gun, went abroad, and returned, saying to a person, if he should hear of any thing serious happening at his house not to let it dis turb him. He returned home, went to the garret where his wife was weaving, told her that he had often said to her that the time would come when she would tremble in his presence, bid her prepare, as her time was short, drew out a pistol and shot her mor tally. He soon after said that he had contemplated this act for many months, and if he had found ano ther person, whom he had been searching for, he would die content ; that he would die in a very short time, as he had taken laudanum, not meaning to be come a public example by going to the gallows. The Attorney-General referred to the defence of insanity, but would not anticipate it, except to say that it was a defence to be made out by the prisoner, and must go to the extent of establishing' incapacity to distinguish between right and wrong.- James Stewart sworn—Oa Wednesday morning, May '2, about seven o'clock, I heard from my wife that Captain Windsor had shot his wife. I ran over to the house, and saw him standing in the yard with a gun in his hand. He was pointing it at a man who was passing. I said, " Captain, what's the matter ?" He said, " I have shot my wife ;go up stairs and see her if you choose." I went up, and saw her lying on the floor, very pale, a child, nine months old, sitting by her, crying. I spoke to her, and she opened her eyes with an expression of glad ness; begged me to carry her down stairs, as she should die in a few minutes, and said that her hus band had shot her. She ataid she was in the other room, weaving for him, and he came into the room, presenting a pistol, and told her she had but a short time to live—that he was going to shoot her ; that she fled, and got where she then was, and he shot her. I went down stairs, found the prisoner in his store. He refused to let me come in. I pushed the door open, and found him still standing with the gun in bands.his I demanded the gun, and he refused to give it up, and I took bold of it to tyke it away, when I smelt laudanum, and said to him, " You old dog, you were not satisfied to kill one, but have been killing yourself." He Buttered me to take the gun, and asked me not to shoot him. He said he had taken half a gill of laudanum, and would soon be dead; that he had intended to kill Joseph Osborne, then his wife, and Alexander Elligood and Milford Saunders (negro), it they interfered with him. He told me a long story of his grievances. Mentioned a letter. Asked me to correct the spelling and grammar, without altering the sense, and to have it published at his expense. Told me to go to the desk and get money to pay for the publication. He banded me the key, and gave me also a list of judgments. The laudanum soon began to operate on him ; hut before this he told me be did shoot her, and shot to kill her. Before she died, she sent for him, and he went up to her. She desired to be lilted in her bed, and said to him, " Take care of the children. You have said they were not yours. I have but a few minutes to live; before God, on my dying bed, they are yours, and I want you todo a father's part by them." She called him to look at her wound, and he began to cry, and said be would not have done it for a thousand worlds, and then left the room. In the course of the day prisoner said he bad intended this for some time. He gave as a reason for taking the lau danum that he did not mean to be hung. That he would not be made a public example. He walked about violently, until he became weak, and sat down, and then fell. He asked me for more laudanum. I said I had a quantity at home, enough to fix him off. He begged Dr. Fisher for poison. Mrs. Windsor died about three o'clock that afternoon. The letter referred to is as follows :—"I have set down in great distress, both in body and mind, to think I married a woman that I love, and in four weeks after I married her she should commence a criminal correspondence with such a worthless man as Joseph Osborne, that has a wife and five children ; that she took the money out of the store by little at a time and gave it to him ; and I could not leave the house ; if I only stayed fifteen or twenty minutes, and came in, I would catch him in the house or just going away. On the 14th of April, 1847, I came to the house and found it fastened up. I thumped at the door and called quite loud ; received no answer. Walked round the house to t'other door. Osborne was just stepping out at the door. I walked in. Found Nancy very much confused. Asked her how the door came fast? She denied it. I told her she and Oehorne was shut up together. 'She denied it. Ou the 21 of A pril I ordered him not to come to my house any more. After that she would meet him out at the stable, the old cooper-shop, behind the smokehouse, of nights. You might see where they stood, and the tracks where they met. I found I lost 12 dolls. 60c. that she took and give him. I don't know how much more, and from 30Ib. to 501 b. of pork at one time to Elligood, a family that kept a watch for them and carried news to each other privately. He had Milford Saunders employed to conjure for them, also Alexander Elligood and daughter. They furnished her with some poison stuff that she would put on my clothes and head, that would almost distract me. I had to hire my wash ing from home, and quit sleeping with her, to keep her from filling my clothes full in bed. The life she leads me, I cannot describe it. Her children are not mine. Joseph Osborne is the father of them both, and she is now with child by him. * If she should live, if it could be so, I think that it would be sufficient proof of all that I have said con cerning the life that she and that man has led me. I believe there is persons that know of their criminal correspondence, but they keep it from me. Tney may come out after lam gone. If not the two chil dren will speak for themselves; their favour will be as good proof as those acquainted with him and the family will want. I due% know according to the marriage contract and my will whether my estate will have them to raise up to seven years old; if the law should compel my administrator to raise them two illegitimate children to that age, I wish him or the county to put them to good masters, as I disown them as being children of mine. If they were it would be a great consolation to think my labour and industry should go to my offspring. What I have here wrote is the truth ; the Lord is my judge; and I wish it published to the world, as it may perhaps be of service to some people. The Great Jehovah I hope will pardon me for what may hereafter take place. If it should be printed, I hope it may be put in good form. " JNO. WINDSOR. And correct the bad spelling. Wrote May 1, 1850. (Endorsed) —I hope that some friend of mine may have this made public. " JNO. WINDSOR." APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, AUG. 15.—A..sistant-surgeon William H. Clarke (1846), to the Centaur steam-frigate at Portsruouth, for service on the south-east coast of America station; Juba L. Trousdel), M.D. (1847), from the Victory flag-ship at Portsmouth, wroore he was borne additional for service at a naval hospital, to the Shearwater steam-vessel, commissioned at Woolwich. Boatswain W. J. Richards is confirmed to the Tweed sloop, 10, on the south• east coast of America station. The Myrmidon steam-vessel, Lieutenant Com mander Jolliffe, went down the river on Tuesday on an experimental trial of her engines, and they were found to work remarkably well, a speed of 9i knots per hour having been obtained under the disadvan tages of indifferent coals, which would only raise the steam to 51b. per square inch, when the usual work ing power ought to haw been from 71b. to 81b per inch. The Myrmidon will leave Woolwich to-morrow for Greenhithe, where she will take her powder on board, and start on Saturday morning for Plymouth, where she will be paid advance and proceed to the coast of Africa, for service on that station. . _ Commander Charles Hillyar (1848), appointed to the Penelope steam frigate on the west coast of Af rica, takes a passage in the Myrmidon to join the Penelope. The Sbearwater, steam•vessel, commissioned here the 11th inst. by Lieut. ‘Villiam Horton, is intended for service in the Mediterranean station. The Highflyer screw steam-sloop, built at Black wall, by Mr. Mare, was launched yesterday, and im mediately towed by the Monkey steam-vessel, in charge of Mr. Bean, acting master attendant at Wool wich dockyard, to the East India Docks, where her Engines will be put on board by their makers, Messrs. Maudslay, Son, and Field. Tne eogines of the Valorous steam-stoop are to be put on board by their makers, Messrs. Miller, Raven hill, and Co. An investigation took place on Saturday and Monday last, before Commodore Superintendent Henry Eden, relative to the breaking down of the *machinery of the Sidon, 22, paddle-wheel steam fiagae, of 560 horse-power, on her passage from P,aasniouth to Cork on the 28th of June last. DEVONPORT, Atm. 13.—Cummodore Lord John Hay is still much the stone as he has been for the past few days; his medical attendants have recommended a change of air, and his Lordship, acting on their re commendation, has this day removed to Upper Stoke. Virago steam-ship, Commander H. W. Stewart, was taken into No. 5 dock this morning; her bottom has been cleaned, mid she will be taken out to morrow morning. Sprightly tender arrived to-day from Portsmouth. D. vonport Rowing Regatta commenced at noon this day ; the weather is fine, and a vtry large con course of people are in attendance; the rowing is first ' rate. Avon, steam•tetader to the Impregnable flag-ship, at Devonporr, having had her defects made good, was put out of dock on Wednesday evening. Messrs. Brief zeke and Easthope, of the Store keeper-General's-office, and Messrs. Jetnmett and Bosley, jun., of the Storekeeper's department, Devon port Dockyard, have been appointed on the survey of stores in that estabdshment, consequent on the death of W. Jenkins, Eq., late storekeeper. Messrs. Car rington and Richards, storekeeper's clerks,' have also been appointed to assist in the additional duties. EXPERIMENT Wlll-I ANEW LIFE-BOAT. Air. Wilson (chairman), Capt. Paxton, Capt. Stsuma z,R.N., Capt. P. rrott, members of a committee of the iNa tonal Shipwreck Institution ; Mr. Lang, master shipwright; Mr. Chatfield and Mr. Peake, assistants to the master shipwright; Mr. Greener, gurimaker, Bir mingham, one of the cumpetito rs for the Duke of lifeNorth uusb..-rland's bout prize of 100 gu ine as; and a number of naval officers and gentlemen assembled on Tuesday afternoon at the basin at the west end of Woolwich Dockyard to witness the buoyancy and facilities for r owing of a lite boat constructed under the super intendence of Mr. Peake. The boat is constructed entirely of w,ed, and is 30 feet long by 8 feet 9 inches wide, and her draught of water 1 foot 5 inches. Trie outtom is de ply padded with cork in,ide; and a hand of the same material, covered with prepared canvas, is carried round the outside of her wales, and both ends of roe vessel are alike in construction, that she may be teerad either way by an oar. On each end several air tight cases have been fixed, and, with the cork, give her a buoyancy equivalent to two tons, that number being Also the tonnage of the boat. A coxswain, or steers man, and ten rowers having gone on board, they pro ceeded round the basin several times, to show her capa bilities for rowing; and they then all sat on one side to show her stability in the water, and their whole weight did not bring bar down on one side to nearly the edge of the water. Eight plugs, about four inches each in dia meter, were then taken out of her bottom; but the ad mittance of the water made no perceptible difference in the immersion, and she was again rowed round the baa sin with tqusl facility as on the previous cccasion. Double the number, in all twenty-two men, went on 'ward, which gave her an additional draught of water of sbout live or six inches; but as she is built to be high out of the water, nearly similar in appearance to the uurth of Scotland fi.hiug busts, she might be crowded with as many persons as she could hold, and still prove a good at a boat. It was iteeoded to have her filled with water, but that experiment was deferred to a fu ture day, alien the carriage making fur her at the Ro) al Arsenal will be ready, bud the facilities for moving her un shore a:id other experiments .will be made. Lieut.- Colonel Colquhouii, of the carriage department at %he Royal Arsenal, was al ~co prele nt on Tuesday. His Grace the Duke of Northumberland, the President of the National Srtipa reek Institution; is 'Ling every ex ertion to nave It boats of tee must approved construe tion made, to be placed on the various localities where they mAy be must required, and bas, with a view to their efficiency, approvid ot rules for their management. NARROW ESCAPE ON A ItAILWAY.—On Tuesday a young lad, named Patrick Bryant, about fifteen years of age, em 103 ed as an errand• bey at Bridge street, Cheap%ide, w as sent with a note, by the Blackwell Junction Railway, to a Mr. Turner. et Bow, and when the train stopped at that station he was so eager to execute his commission, that jumping out before tie motion of the carriage had ceased, the impetus dashed his head against the iron pump provided for the supply of the engine, cutting the flesh from the brow to the clown of his head. Mr. Newell, a gentleman connected with the Coal-whipper R-gistration Office, immediately bound the lad's head up with a kerchief; and succeeded in staying the lixtuorrhage, which soon remier,d him insensible. The station-master sent for a medical man who stitched up the wound, and the lad was ultimately Conveyed to the London Hospital. AN ALDERMANIC JOKE.—We ha ve already sent twenty pounds anonymously to the Chancellor of the Exche quer, to try and quiet our conscience tor having perpetrated the following: During the late Paris fetes, somebody a,ked, in the hearing of au Alderman, what was the cruse of the residence of the Prefect being called the Hotel de Ville?

James Downing sworn—Was sent for to go to pri soner's soon after he had shot his wife. I found him in the store walking about, much excited, sweating freely, but in other respects much as usual. He held out his hand to me, and said, " Oh, Mr. Downing, I have shot my wife He then said that he bad taken his gun that morning to shoot Joe Osborne, but missed him ; that Rollins or some one gave Osborne notice by a gun ; that he returned, put away his gun, took a pistol and bowie-knife, intending to kill his wile with the bowie-knife ; that he went up in the garret where his wife was weaving, and said to her, "Nancy, you are going to die, your time is short." he said, "Yes, Captain Windsor, we are all to die, and our time is short " He said he then went down stairs and got his best pistol, the one which was surest of fire, and went up again and said to his wife, "Nancy, I have often told you that you would tremble at my appearance;" that she ran out of the room and hal looed "murder ;" that as she ran there was a line hanging across the room with some bags hanging on it, and as she raised her arm to fend the bags from her head, he fired, and she fell; that he walked down stairs, went into the store, and took from half a gill to a gill of laudanum. He said be should not live twenty minutes, he was certain, from the effect of the Janda • num. He then said he went with the intention of kill ing Osborne that morning ; that then he intended to kill his wire, and then destroy himselt with laudanum. He sail there were five or six he should like to kill, and he would then be slti , fied—viz., Milford Saunders, Aleck Elligond, Aleck's daughter, Joseph Osborne, his wife, and himself. He then showed rue where his key was ; said Le should be here hut a very little time, as the medicine was operating. Told rue to take care of that key and his p ipers until John Windsor came. By this time be became very sick, and, making an attempt to sit down, be fell upon the floor. I went to hint and raised him in the chair; persuaded him to go in and lie down on the bed. He said, No ;" would not lie down on the bed; that they had too much poison stuff there for him ; that he would go in the parlour and lie down on the sofa. I went along side of him, and James Stewart on the other side of him. He got to where his writing •desk was on the counter, opened it, an took out a pocket pistol. Stewart took bold of it, and said he could not have that. lie said, " You might let me have it ; Ido not want to hurt you, nor any one else; but he gave it up to Stewart,and went in with me and laid down on the sofa; be then became very sick and vomited, from lnu danum; and after that he said, "Mr. Downing, I am afraid there is not enough remaining in me to kill 18, tam. . . „ me," and asked me to give him more. I told him he could not have any more. He said, " Oh, give me more, I want to die, and I will die—l never intended to be a public example." He then became cairn and still, and I left him and went up stairs to see Mrs. Windsor. She said Captain Windsor had shot her. I returned to Windsor, and stayed with him nearly all day until the officers came. During the time Mrs. Windsor sent word she wished to see him. He wait up, took a seat by her side, and 1 want into the next room, leaving several with them. He did not stay more than a minute or two, but went down stairs and I with him. He lay down on the sofa again. In about an hour his wife sent for him to go up again. He refused to go, saying he felt too weak. I ad vised him to go, and led him upstairs again. He sat down by her bedside, and took hold of her hand. She said, "Captain Windsor, you have often said these children were not yours ; but before God and all these peop!e they are yours, and you ought to do something for them." " Ah," said he, "Nancy, you need not talk about these things now." Still holding her hand, and rising, he said "God bless you," and left her. She called him back to leek at the wound ; he said no, he was not prepared to see i t then, and he went down to the sofa aga i n . The above is all the testimony in the case which has come to band ; but the trial has been concluded, the prisoner has been convicted, and sentenced to be hinged. He is about CO years of age, while the vic tim of his jealousy was only 24. THE RECENT FATAL COLLIERY AC. CIDENT AT BEDMINSTER. Yesterday the coroner, J. B. Crrendon, Esq., re sumed his inquest on the bodies of the five men who were killed on Saturday l ist 14 , the breaking of a rope at the Malago-vale Colliery, Bedminster. The proceedings seemed to produce great excite ment in the parish, especially among the mining po pulation, crowds of whom remained assembled in the vicinity of the inquest-room througout the protracted examination which took place. Mr. Bevan watched for the proprietors of the pit; Mr. Ayre appeared for the friends of the deceased persons, Webster, Moffatt, Parsons, and Pike; and Mr. Sabine attended for the friends of Pring and Smith. The CORONER, before the proceedings commenced, mentioned that he had sent notice of the inquest to Sir George Grey ; but as he had had no reply, he sut.posed that no inspector would be sent down on this occasion. Francis Smith examined—l am a collier residing in North-street. I have not been employed at all at the Malago-gale Colliery. My brother, William Smith, was employed there, and died in the pit on Saturday. I attended an inquest here on that day, and saw six dead bodies, amongst which were the bodies of Richard Moffatt, Pailip Dring, Morose Pike, 'William Smith (tny brother), and of a lad named Widisin Webster. I knew them all. I saw Mr. Roberts, the surgeon, also present. Ido not know how they came by their deaths. George Cooke, a boy, examined—l am employed at the Malego pit. Last Friday night I went down the pit, and got into the cart with the deceased men. I was let out at the top vein ; the others went to the bottom vein. I saw the cart descend from the top vein. Just after they were gone, when I was in the vein about thirty yards, and going down the "gug," I heard the noise of the rope falling. I went to the swift again with 15 men, who had heard the noire, with we; when we got to the shaft the rope had fallen to the bottom, and we - neither saw nor beard anything then. Before we went down the pit the engineer, George Parker, said, "Be I right, or be I wrong; I can't see the witness' of the rope." The " witness" is a piece of string tied round the rope, for the engineer to see where to stop. Before we went down, we asked Mr. Pillinger, the foreman of the works, what was the cause of the rope turning round. It was turning while we were speaking. We were not then in the bucket; but while we were going down, Mr. Pillinger told Arthur Britton, a col lier, to go and look at the rope, but we did not see him do so. I never saw the rope twist round that way before. I was not frightened at it. The rope need not be taken off the drum to be spliced, but might be lashed to the sides of the pit. Nothing was said about the rope as we were going down. Richard Brookman, of York-buildings, blacksmith of the pit, deposed that he made the splicing of the rope, and put it in himself. Witness bad frequently been ordered by Mr. Pillinger to look after the rope when he went to the pit. He thought this rope was brought to the pit about twelve months ago, when he was assisted in fitting it to the drum. The rope was at first only in one piece, but an old piece of smaller size was taken off the drum, towards the lower end of the old rope, and they spliced the new one to the upper end. The old rope was joined in several places by iron splices. The part that was broken on Satur day morning was in the new rope. It never broke before, but within the last fortnight a piece was cut out, nearly four feet long, and the rope was spliced in that place; the rope broke near the new splice, which was put in by Mr. Stewart's directions. After it was put in, the cart was employed in hauling up coal for tour or five hours before any man was allowed by Mr. Stewart to enter the cart. All the hands were then in the pit. The CORONER asked the witness whether, in his opinion, the piece, at its ragged end, had been cat or broken ? The witness replied, that in his opinion, it must have been broken ; and, comparing it with the piece which hue been cut off the drum, he believed that the parting of the rope had occurred at the splicing. Arthur B;itton deposed that he came up the shaft just before the deceased went down, and observed no. thing of a suspicious character in the rope. James Parker, the engine -driver, said he had never seen anything wrong about the rope, neither had he ever heard the woikenen complain of it. Evidence of a similar character having been ad. duced, the inquiry was adjourned until two o'clock to-morrow. The Court rose at a quarter to six o'clock. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

TERRIFIC THUNDER STORM AT SHEFFIELD. — SHEFFIELD, Auo. 13.—This afternoon this town was visited by a tremendous thunder -storm, accompanied with heavy rain and hail. Loud claps of thunder followed each other in close succession, and, from the rapidity with which the re ports followed the flashes, it was evident that some destruc tion of property, if not of life, must result. The storm com menced about five o'clock, and continued about an hour and a quarter. One of the met vivid flashes carried the de structive element into the Crookes Moor Workhouse, which is at present occupied by bin Jonathan Dearden and his son, the latter of whom is rate-collector for the township of Nether Hallam, in the borough of Sheffield, in which the workhouse is situate. Since the formation of Eccleshafl union, the building has not been u,ed for paupers. The electric fluid struck the upper part of the house, and made its way downwards to the kitchen, demolishing the wallsc in and furniture in its course, overturning a cl,.ck which stood in the kitchen , which Mr. and Mrs. Dearden were sitting at the time; it tore off the ceiling and pisister from the walls, and destroy e d part of the furniture . The work house is shaken to its found at i on b ut fortunate ly,tti) inmates. who had taken the prec.ution 'at ;he outbre.k of the storm, to . dow open tile windows, w ere not i o j a red.
