This line, which will commence at Leicester, and proceed from thence by or near to Market Harborough, Bothwell, Kettering, Wel lingborough, to Bedford, is Intended to supply the wants of a very rich and thickly populated district of country lying between Leicester and Bedford, and to afford a much shorter and more direct commu nication between the first mentioned place and London. The existing and projected lines of railway form the most direet route from Manchester, Leeds, Derby, Sheffield, Nottingham, and the North of England to London, by way of Leicester, and the present line will be the nearest one fromthat place to the metropolis which exists or can be projected. The line will pass through the richest grazing land In the kingdom, and will derive a considerable traffic in the conveyance of cattle from thence to the Loudon markets. The coal-fields of Leicestershire and Derbyshire will supply, by means of this railway, the wants of the counties of Bedford, Hunt ingdon, Hertford, Essex, and Cambridge, in this most Necessary article of consumption, which will be reduced in price at least 50 per cent. Se soon as the surveys are completed, a detailed Prospectus with the names of the gentlemen forming the highly influential local Committees, will De published. In the meantime, the promoters are justified in stating that the railway will be made at an average ex pense, and that the traffic will insure an ample return upon the capital required. The Subscribers will not be liable to any further call until the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 4 per sent. upon the amount paid up until the opening of the line. The Directors reserve liberty to themselves to alter the proposed route, or to extend the railway as they may think expedient.

We trust it may be very long ere we have to apply to any lesson of political wisdom, that the example of France may teach us, the well-known maim—"fas est et ab hoste doceri." In a much more friendly spirit, however, we may safely argue that there can be no harm in our taking some leaves out of the book of France, when their contents happen to be applicable to the case of this country, and the best mode of dealing with its most important inte rests. In our pages of yesterday we had to transfer no less than three of such leaves into our own journal. The first was a statistical and well arranged list of the French navy, effective and not effective—its actual and its growing amount, and the extended elements of its increase. The seconi was the passing of a Bill through the Chamber of De puties for the truly national purpose of protecting the ancient monuments of France. The third was the somewhat unusual event in the French Legis lature of the presentation of a petition signed by 25,000 people. Its prayer was for an inquiry into the condition of the working classes. . To begin, first, with the last but not the least im portant of these matters, it must be owned that Lord J. Rosana. has already anticipated it by his forthcom ing motion on tho same subject—the sufferings , of our industrial classes. The proceeding of M. RoLusr, however, may servo to fortify the case which his Lordship will have to urge upon the House of Com mons, by showing that similar evil influences are seriously affecting in act one of the most meritorious as well as largest communities in our social system. If our own opinion or advice might avail, it would be given in the way of exhortation to the French as well as to the English statesman, to persevere in the design they have respectively avowed. There can be no question but that one of the most dangerous aspects which a great country like England or France can exhibit, is, an accumulating aggregate of unemployed or of miserably underpaid labour. When able-bodied labour cannot realize wages on which it is possible to subsist itself, and those who depend immediately and entirely Open its efforts, it very naturally determines that it may as well cease to work, whilst industry fails to procure any better return than the pittance grudgingly given at all times to unemployed pau perism. But when able-bodied labour, ready and anxious for the employment it seeks, can obtain none, then by as natural a process, though it be a more un fortunate one of reasoning, it arrives at the conclusion that what it cannot obtain on the fair conditions it is prepared to fulfil, that is of hard working, it must take, to satisfy the primary duty as well as appetite.-- thatof self-preservation. Now, the sooner you can turn masses of men from the habitual, though unconscious, study of these political ethics, which determine in the running of a vicious parallel between the rights of labour and the liabilities of property, the better. For when these masses are left in the full leisure for indulging in these perilous communings of compul sory want with repudiated industry, the disorganisa tion of society is at hand. The only chance of grap pling with so perilous a disease is one of anticipatory treatment —preventive rather than remedial. We would implore Lord Jon& RUSSELL to bring to this great social question, involving the solution, as it does, of one of the most complicated, and yet most frequently recuPring political problem, the whole resources, information, and energy of his gifted and sagacious mind. In M. ROLLIN'S hands we have no doubt, looking to the advantageous light in which his talents have been already developed to the public, that the same comprehensive theme will be very ably treated. It is greatly to the interest of European civilisation, and the peace and repose of all its States, that these topics should be thoroughly and dispassion ately discussed in the Legislatures of two of its mightiest kingdoms, with a view to the devising of some scheme for providing per manent guarantees against the fearful tenden cies of unoccupied and pauperised industry. It is a disturbing force in the working machinery of our ex by is g t i in vi g ng so t c o i a i l t system, itsne w e e ssa h r i y c h, if you evolution within cannot a s control i g li en i e n r e a v t i e t d ably ill a a e n q n u i i h re ilaaten t e h x e p e lo n s g i i v n e e p w o i w th e i r n , l t i h m a i t ts o , ne w e which it has hitherto revolved. With regard to the Bill to protect the ancient monuments of their country, the Chamber of Deputie s has certainly had the start of the British Parliam en t. And yet what country abounds with more numerou s or ennobling reminiscences of its past history, of this kind, than Great Britain ? In what country shall we find grey ruins . and sc i Ipturerl. e ffi g ies, the associations and o riginals connected with which are better calculated to inspire the present generation —especially the younger brtmehes of it—with, more generous emulation of lofty virtues, grand qualities and high achievements, love of country, devotion to its glory, attachment to its institutions, than our own ? Alas, that we must also ask, in what country are these relics of visible and tangible history so rapidly disappearing, so scandalously neglected, so apathetically regarded by successive Governments, so wantonly outraged by the bad taste, bad feeling, or profound ignorance of indi viduals, and parochial, and municipal, and ecclesias tical authorities ? Some of the most classical, albeit the most guilt-stained ground of this ancient metropolis--foundations, walls, and turrets, and chapels, state-chambers and state-dungeons in the Tower of London, the tombs of royal and baronial guests, or prisoners —have been rudely dismantled, levelled to the dust, and are at this moment in the course of re moval, and with them, haply, the very bones of some of England's best descended nobles, to make room for barracks and other such modern desecrations. There is no Board to protect the dust that should have been sacred, as impressed with the traditionary footsteps of a majestic chivalry : but there is a Board of re spectable Commissioners, with a Noble Chairman at heir head too, fur the direction of such national gel- leries, and national columns, and national fountains, and national anomalies of all kinds, as disgrace the na tional folly called Trafalgar-square. The list of the French Navy is a text which, we trust, in the language of our Dissenting friends, the Government "will improve." We have no complaint to make against the Ministry of France for the gigan tic advance they have given to the French marine. It is astounding, but it does them infinite honour. All we are interested at this moment to demand in reference to it is, that our own Admiralty adminis trators will not be above learning from this remarkable document, how time is to be taken by the 4'c,reloa k, and all possible exigencies are to be met, and there fore disposed of, by timely preparation. With one half of the foresight and alacrity displayed by the Baron MACKAW, and the department over which he presides, applied to the means, the navy, and the material at the command of our own Admiralty, and to the cares of preparation, combination, and disposal, the office of naval censorship, so beneficially exercised by Sir C. NAPIER, _would become extinct. We have received Madrid journals of the 7th inst. On that day the Chamber of Deputies resumed the dis cussion on the budget of receipts for 1845, which was fixed at 1,226,000,000 reals (12,260,0000 One of the articles in the estimates of revenue imposes a tax of 300,000,000 reals (3,000,0002) on landed property, which Senor BRAVO MURILLO proposed to reduce to 200,000,000 reals, but the amendment was rejected by a majority of 60 to 46. A division of the Royal Guard was to leave Madrid on the 13th for Barcelona, and the QUEEN, it was understood, would proceed to the same place about the 25th of this month. On the 7th the Bourse opened with a considerable ad vance, but heavy sales afterwards caused some depression. The Three per Cents. closed at 34i- for cash, and 35 at GO days ; the Five per Cents. at 2.5 i at 60 days ; the Provisional Debt at 8i at GO days; and the Debt without Interest at 81 at GO days. The French Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday corn menced the discussion on the Northern Railroad Bill with branches to Calais and Dunkirk, and a line from St. Quentin to Creil. This Bill was opposed by M. DE RUMILLY, who contended that the execution of such works ought not to be entrusted to companies, but be conducted by the State and afterwards leased out. M. GARNIER PAGES took the same view of the Bill, and thought the State should have all the lines under their control, merely letting them to companies on certain conditions. The general discussion closed with these two speakers, and the discussion on the first clause was going on at the hour of post. Must of the Paris journals have articles on the Maynooth question. The National praises the liberal policy pursued by Sir ROBERT PEEL. The Journal des Debuts also commends the new Tory policy. "The measures," it says, " which are proposed by the English Government are based upon the principle which has long dominated in France—viz., the neutrality of the State in religious matters. They are based on the principles of philosophy of the eighteenth century, which were consecrated by the Revolution of 1789, and which are even the founda tion of the constitution of our country. On these grounds, therefore, we can only express our entire ap probation; but we claim the liberty of saying as a tii,- torical fact, which cannot be contested, that these mea sures are a perfect revolution in the spirit of English le gislation, and that these principles are completely op , posed to those on which the constitution of Great Britain has hitherto rested. We must not forget that the revo lutions of England were religious revolutions, whilst those of France were philosophic revolutions ; that, on the one side, it was the principle of Protestant supre macy that triumphed ; and, on the other, that of the equality of all religions in the eye of the law. This is the position that English Protestantism now abandons. The State which, since the time of the Reformation, had become Protestant, is now become laic, and the French principle, or rather the social principle of the separation of temporal and spiritual power, is now admitted into British legislation." The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers:— We read in the Constitutionnel:—" The Ministeral jour nals have made a great noise about the treaty of peace with Morocco; but the following fact will show how much im - portance ought to be attached to this treaty, and warrants our representing it as a mere lure to obtain a favourable opi nion from the public. We have noticed the journey of K. Horace Vernet, who was sent by order of the Government to paint a picture of the battle of Isly ; but he has met with an obstacle he very little expected. On arriving at Ouchda, the caid nearest the frontier informed him that he must return, as he, the caid, had received an express order from his Go vernment not to suffer any European to enter the territories of Morocco.

The Moniteur Algerien of the sth has an account of a splendid ball at Algiers on the 30th ult., given by the Gover nor-General and his lady. The ball was opened by his Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier and the daughter of Marshal Bugeaud, and the dancing continued till daylight with no other interruption than the supper, which consisted of all the luxuries and delicacies that Europe and Africa could supply. The France, in allusion to the rumour that the Queens of England and Spain, the King and Queen of Naples, and the King of Holland, are about to visit Paris, takes upon itself to assert, as far as their Neapolitan Majesties are concerned, there is not the slightest truth in the rumour.

ANTI-CORN-LAW BAZAAR. We rejoice in the prosperity of this truly British under taking. In no other land, that we are aware of, would the three motives which led to it have operated in the same way. To raise money is of course its serious and commercial pur pose, to afford amusement, at the same time, in such a man ner that the very partaker of it should express sympathy, and, lastly, the great political cause for which the efforts are made, are blended in the Anti-Corn law Bazaar, as no other people would be able to combine them. Such a mani festation indeed would probably be prohibited in every other country. There is one effect which we should be de 'lighted to see this attempt produce besides the immediate one to which it is devoted. The assemblage of objects is ad mitted, on all hands, to be interesting in the highest degree—. a trophy of our industrial skill as well as of our patriotic ap plication of the means itaffords. For many years the French, infinitely inferior as they are to us in all the most important branches of manufacture, have done their utmost to stimulate competition by a Government exhibition, in which the pro gress of improvement can yearly speak for itself, and at which prizes are awarded for marked progress or skilful invention. This may look somewhat like the nursing of skill in its infancy ; but the Anti-Corn-law Bazaar proves to us that for more ma - tured powers the constant comparison would be highly beneficial. We venture to say that many a process and many a fabric will be introduced for the first time to the notice of many on this occasion. What then might not be expected from organised competition, when mere private, un concerted contribution has produced so interesting a develop ment ? Many intelligent people look with mere wonder on specimens submitted to them, and machines, which they be hold fe. - the first time, quite unconscious of the purposes to which t hey are applicable. Indeed, it is not unamusing to watch the visitors to this pat t of the exhibitiou ; and as all is most characteristically explained by the parties selling or showing the articles, it is pleasant to witness the satisfaction of their auditory. The only objection to such an endeavour would be the immense bulk of the objects. Covent-garden 'Theatre, laige as it is, with all its accessory departments, can barely suffice to give an idea of the Bazaar stock, and many who have gone once round the promenade, find a second turn still more agreeable from the great variety of curiosities they have been obliged than teu of the to pass unnoticed on the first. Crowded as the hall has been, all parties have been so completely imbued with the spirit of the cause, that it has rather appeared like a friendly assem thpeabsl stewards assem blage at the house of some common acquaintance t ice r x d h s exhibition, e and the most thecivilit grateful y notice. an d atten . Under such circumstances many persons appear to make of their visit a long and pleasant lounge, relieving their fatigue with a view fro m th e upper boxes, end preventing the cal 's of lancheon-time by a v i s i t to the splendid refreshment-room. We can have no doubt that the undertaking will be more successful than its best friends had hoped, and that the friends of the League lill be recruited for a fresh campaign by this scene of diveiaon. Notwithstanding the increased charge for admission, te bazaar this day was crowded, but not inconveniently, and the visitors seemed highly delighted with the beautiful scent. QUEEN'S BINCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sttings in Banco.) HOWIRDV. GOSSETT, KNT. . . _ _ This morning the hurt sat in ba'nco, and proceeded to give judgment in several cases, amongst which was the im portant one on the actin], which a Mr. Howard had brought against the Sergeant-a-Arms of the House of Commons for false imprisonment ; tothat action a demurrer was raised. Mr. Justice WiGientari commenced by saying that in this case the plaintif had brought an action for false imprisonment, to which the defendant had demurred : in his opinion, the plaintiff was entitled to judg ment on the demurer, as the defendant had rested his defence on the pow' which the House of Commons pos sessed to issue a warrant, and on that to detain the plaintiff in custody ; that the warrant had been issued according to the usage and privilege of the House of Commons. Looking at the whole of the bearing of the present case, and considering the power claimed by the House of Commons to be dan gerous to the liberty of the subject, he of was opinion that the judgment must beeritered for the plaintiff. Mr. Justice Com,aup4E said it was his opinion that the pro ceedings which had talen place under the Speaker's warrant were bad, and that the f laintiff was entitled to judgment. ' Mr. Justice WILLIA3B differed from his Learned Brethren. A few words more in tin warrant would have made it a valid document ; the plaintif had been guilty of a contempt of Parliament, and unless they had the power to enforce the attendance of a person before them, the House of CCIIIMODS would be in reality but a shadow of a high emit of law; that the house alone was competent to decide that its perediction having been dis obeyed, the proceedings were legal, and, therefore, in his opinion, the judgment ought to be entered for the defendant. Lord DEN3LIN, after going through a very elaborate opinion, in which he referred to the powers possessed by the House of Commons, contended that the House was bound to set forth the offence in the warrant; and as a principle of vital importance was involved,. iu which the security of the subject was affected, he considered that the judgment of the Court ought to be for the plaintiff. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BIJRCIIELL.) SCARFE V. SIR A. L. HAY. 1 Tuts - was -- ail action to recover the sum of 1301. tor one ' quarter's rent of a cottage at Fulham, and for damage done to furniture therein. The defendant had suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. OGLE stated the case—The cottage was let to the de fendant so far back as lday, 1837, at the yearly rent of 250/. Defendant remained in possession twelve months, and one quarter's rent was still unpaid. On defendant leaving the furniture was inspected by a valuer, who estimated the dila pidations of the furniture at 681. Is. There was no defence to the action, but it was perhaps necessary to account for the delay in bringing the action, by stating that Sir Andrew had been out of England a considerable time, and they had been unable to serve him with process, besides which, lie had been protected, being a Member of Parliament. Mr. Samuel Lahee, house-agent, of Bond-street, proved the terms on which the cottage was let. Mr. Samuel Jones deposed that he was a valuer, and in spected the furniture after the defendant left. It had been beautiful, but was very much damaged. He estimated the damage at 68/. I s. By the Jury—Did not sea the furniture before defendant took possession. Could only estimate the damage on suppo sition of its previous state, and from description. The UNDER-SHERIFF—Oh, they always put down all the broken windows, and all kinds of dilapidation, as having been done during the tenancy. He then summed up, and said that the jury must take the amount of the damage as stated by the witness. The jury said it did not appear to them that there was any proof of the value of the furniture at the time the de fendant took possession, or what ought to be allowed fur wear and tear. The UNDER-SHERIFF said that it was the duty of the defendant to adduce evidence if he had been overcharged. The jury could only go upon the evidence, and as the witness had positively sworn to the amount., he did not see how they could avoid giving a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. The jury thereupon gave a verdict for 1301. 103. ItUTSON V. WEBB. The plaintiff in this action is an attorney, and was brought to recover the sum of 111. lls 6d. for an attorney's bill in defending the defendant's son in an action brought against him by a person named Chidley. The defendant pleaded the general issue. Mr. THOMAS stated the case—When the action was brought against defendant's son, the latter put a plea of infancy on the record in person; it was, however, discovered, that a de fendant could not plead infancy except by au attorney, and a person named Mayston introduced him to the plaintiff. It being, however, necessary for the proceedings that a guardian should sign a petition to the Court, defendant was sent for, and he accordingly did what was necessary by signing the petition, which the Learned Counsel contended was, in fact, the retainer. The plaintiff's clerk was called, and proved that the work was done and that the plea of infancy was supported. De fendant asked whether he would be liable to Chidley for costs, and was teld he would not as the plea could be made out, but he did not say that he would not pay his son's costs. Mr. HottitY addressed the jury, and contended that the signing the petition was a matter of form, and no retainer, and that in fact the defendant's son had been the only person looked to by the parties, and had been first introduced to The defendant's son was then called, and he proved that he had become liable to Messrs. Chidley for goods supplied. He had kept a shop about twelve mouths, but failed. He owed Chidley about 201., but had previously paid them 1001. He had requested Mayston to offer 5/. to settle. lie had been anxious to pay if he could. His other debts were very small. When he went to plaintiff he paid 30s. on account of costs. His father had never paid anything, nor was he told he would be held responsible. Mr. ToomAs, in reply, said that all the dispute arose through, in the first instance, applying to one of those persons who called themselves agents, who from their ignorance generally involved all who depended on them in misery and consternation, and did great injury. If Mayston had been called he would have proved the exact agreement. The jury then gave a verdict for the defendant. The principal cases were postponed. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) Henry Bunting was charged with stealing 17s. 6d. The prisoner, a lad about twelve, is well known to the police. lie lodges with a poor woman named Bunting, in Stel.hen street, Maiden-lane, whose little savings lay in a box in an upper room of the house. The prisoner is supposed to have pilfered the money, for a bag full of buttons, which lay in the same box, was found on the prisoner's person. The prosecutrix, a miserable looking poor woman, iden • titled the buttons found on the prisoner as her property. The prisoner, who would give no account of the matter, was remanded. RAILWAY COMMITTEES (THIS DAY.) Group F. The Committee re-asssemblea at twelve o'clock this day, the Right Hon. F. Shaw in the chair, and proceeded with the inquiry into THE LONDON, WORCESTER, AND SOUTH STAY. FORDSHIRE RAILWAY. Mr. Waddington, examined by Mr. HOPE—Is deputy chairman of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Com pany. Was of opinion that the change of gauge on the Gloucester line caused great inconvenience in the tranship ment of goods. Great delay was occasioned by the change of gauge. Could have no great objection to the broad gauge being extended to Bristol, provided there were the narrow gauge to return by. The traders at Gloucester were strongly opposed to the alteration of the gauge on the line. The broad gaugeaue to by. Cross-examined by Mr. TALEOT— The extension of the broad gauge to Bristol w ould be m ost inconvenient. It would be effected with more return safety and facility, p rov id e d there were no narrow g g could not be brought back again, in consequence of the break occasioned. With this exception, there could not be the slightest objection to the broad gauge. Re-examined by Mr. HOPE—Read the report of the Board of Trade in reference to the rate of speed on the Great Western Railway. Does not know the exact rate of speed en that line. Mr. Ilaine, examined by Mr. HOPE—Is a ca rr i er a t Glou cester. Sends goods to and from Bristol and other parts. Had great cause to complain of the inconvenience occasioned by the change of gauge on the Gloucester line. The trade from Bristol to Gloucester by railway was rather insignificant. Mr. John Baits exa mined —Superintends the business of Messrs. Hutton and Co., carriers, at Gloucester. The change of gauge on the Gloucester line caused great delay in the transit of goods. The change of the gauge caused universal disgust to the traders on the line. The transit of wool from Bristol was by water ; the railway had been tried, but in consequence of the great irregularity, the preference was given to the water carriage. Was not of opinion that the change of gauge on the Bristol station would alter this difficulty. Cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT—Was of opinion that the small trucks would answer better than the large. For the through trade (long distances) the large would answer well, but for local traffic the small trucks were decidedly superior. Though so favourable to small trucks, could not carry out his liking to a band-box. There was a great difference be tween a small railway truck and a band-box. —(Laughter.) Group V. THE NOTTINGHAM AND LINCOLN LINE The Committee, consisting of the O'Conor Don (Chair man), Mr. Hope Johnston, Sir John R. Reid, Sir Denham Norreys, and Mr. J. A. S. Davies, met this morning in room No. 13, and proceeded to the consideration of clauses on the part of the objectors to the above railway. Mr. GREGORY, on the part of Lord Chesterfield, proposed certain clauses compelling the Company to deviate in the parish of Burton Joyce to an extent of eighty yards from their present line; and in the event of such deviation causing in jury to the parsonage-house and church-yard, such damage to be compensated fur, the amount of damage to be fixed by an arbitrator. Mr. MACAULAY said that the advantages to be derived from such a change would be altogether disproportioned to the injury inflicted on much valuable property. It was suggested by the CHAIRMAN that the line should be carried fifty feet north of that at present intended in the parish of Burton Joyce, and eighty yards in Gedling ; but as Mr. Gregory did not consider the first any great advantage, and as the promoters of the line would not consent to the second, the clauses were entirely thrown out. There being no more clauses in the Bill, The Committee proceeded to the next railway in the group, namely, THE NEWARK AND SHEFFIELD. (LEFT SITTING.] MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLTS.--The number of deaths during the we e k en di ng M ay 10, we are glad to state, is the smallest that has a p peare d f or m any months, being only 829, showing a decrease of 54 as compared wit h the pre vious, and 134 less than th e average o f fi v e years.

TRIAL OP JOSEPH CONNOR. On Mr. Commissioner Bullock taking his seat on the bench, a number of prisoners were placed in the dock, and having been arraigned, were called upon to plead to the several offences laid to their charge, or to challenge any of the jury by whom they were to be tried. Joseph Connor was among the number, but he was not called upon to plead, having gone through that formula during the last session. He looked much cleaner and neater than whilst under exami- ' nation at Bow-street, or when we last saw him in the chapel of Newgate, on the Sunday preceding the execution of Hockey. He was very pale, and much of that moroseness which distinguished him on the occasions to which we have alluded had departed. He was dressed in a black frock coat, black waistcoat,' black silk neckerchief, and corduroy trowsers. He paid great attention to the calling over the names of the jury, and appeared perfectly sensible of the awful position in which he was placed. Neither the body of the Court nor the gallery were in conveniently crowded. No females were admitted. At a few minutes after ten o'clock, Mr. Baron Alderson and Mr. Justice Coltman entered and took their seats. Immediately afterwards Joseph Ciontor was again placed in the dock. The indictment, which contained two counts, each varying the offence, charging him with the wilful murder of Mary Brothers, was then read. Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Montagne Chambers, and Mr. Huddle stone appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Doane for the prisoner. Mr. BODKIN then proceeded to state the case against the prisoner. The deceased was one of those unhappy females who, like many others, prostituted her body for a wretched subsistence—that whilst engaged in the unhappy traffic she presented herself at a house of ill-fame in Little George street, St. Giles's, accompanied by a man and entered a room with him ; that shortly after a woman named Palmer heard the cry of " Murder," and on entering the room found the man in what she thought the act of striking the woman ; th.t the man hurried from the house, and that the woman staggered into an adjoining room with a knife sticking in her neck—(this statement caused much sensation in the Court) —and immediately expired. A man dressed in; a velveteen coat, whom he should be able to prove was the prisoner at the bar, was observed by a policeman on duty in the street to leave the house in a hurried manner. Threats had been held out by the prisoner against the deceased for communicating a loathsome disease to him, which, from the examination of the body, proved to be a false assumption. The knife found in the body of the deceased, he should prove, was purchased by the prisoner at the bar at the shop of Mr. Oldham, cutler, of High-street, St. Giles's ; that between the time he pur chased it and the time he went to the house in question, he had changed his dress to a velveteen coat and a sealskin cap. At the place where he was taken into custody a velveteen coat was found, the sleeves of which were smeared with blood. A person who had been on intimate terms with the prisoner, named Cochrane, who had not come forward at the examinations, would give important testimony on behalf of the prosecution with respect to the prisoner about eleven o'clock on the night of the murder. After entering at length into a statement of the facts of the case, which he said he should subsequently substantiate by the evidence which lie should call before them, he concluded by calling upon them dispassionately to consider the evidence he should call before them, and not to arrive at a conclusion which affected the life of the prisoner without the most mature consideration. The following witnesses were then called Mary Palmer, charwoman at the house No. 11, Little George-street, said a man and woman came there at a quarter before eleven o'clock on the night of Monday, the 31st of March. I never saw either of them before. The man was dressed in a velveteen coat and a cap. 1 gave the woman a light, and she went into the back parlour. I sat down on the stairs. A few minutes after, a little better than five minutes, I heard the woman cry " Murder!" three times. I rose and knocked at the door of the room. I knocked twice without receiving any answer. Not receiving any answer, I put my back to the door and forced it open. I saw the woman sitting on the bedstead, and the man standing over her. He had his hand at her neck. I thought he was beating her. I said, " For God's sake, don't beat the woman." He turned round and faced me. There was a glimmering light in the room. He then left the room, and I caught hold of his coat. Cross-examined by Mr. M. CHAMBERS—He pushed me away by taking hold of my shawl, on which I afterwards found the marks of a bloody hand. The woman got off the bed and walked to the fire-place ; she bad her hand to her eyes. She never spoke. She staggered and fell. The man had left the house before I got into the passage. The land lady of the house and I went into the room again and found a knife sticking in the woman's neck. She was dead. I gave information to the police-constable Allen, who pulled the knife out. I can't swear that s the prisoner is the man ;he resembles him. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—No one has been talking to me about the time when the man and woman came to the house. I stated at the police-office, and at my other examinations, that it was a quarter before eleven when they came. I never said the time was a quarter past eleven. The first time I saw the prisoner after the murder was at Bow street. I had not then heard anything about Connor, nor of any threats he had made towards the deceased. The deceased was a stout, tall woman. There was no blood on the bed, but there was some on the floor and wall. Mary Hall . said I was landlady of ,the house, 11, George street. I heard the woman Palmer cry out, and I went into the passage. I met a man there going as fast as he could run. He pushed me aside, and tried to knock me down. He was coming from the room. I said, " Oh, my God what have you been doing to the poor woma n ?" He made no reDly, and ran out. I could not see Ins dress. I caught hold of his coat, which, by the feel, I should say was vel veteen. I did not notice what he had on his head. I never saw the man before. John James Allen, Police-constable E 159—1 was on duty in George -street on the night of Monday, the 31st of March. About 11 o'clock I was standing at the corner of Clarke's court. I was 52 feet from the house where the woman was murdered. A little before 11 o'clock I observed a man come from No. 11 towards me. He passed me and crossed the way between 19 to 20 feet from me. He had on a dark coat, which I think was velveteen, and a cap which I believe had a peak to it. Five or six minutes after I was fetched to the house. By Mr. Baron ALDERSON—I did not observe any one leave the house, the door of which creaked, from the time the man left until Mrs. Palmer came to me, and then I went into the house and found the deceased lying on her side, with a knife sticking in her neck. The handle was pointing upwards. She moved her eyes a little and smiled. She did not speak. I pulled the knife out and ran for the surgeon. She was dead when I came back. (The witness produced the knife.) A person, named Brothers, identified the body as that of his wife. I have no doubt, but I will not swear positively, that the prisoner is the man. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—If you have no doubt, you ought to swear positively. Witness—l have a strong belief, but I will not swear positively. Examination continued—l knew the prisoner for three or four years before. I did not know where he lived. I never spoke to him. I always took him to be a porter. I had been off and on that beat for four or five years. Cross-examined by Mr. Bausesereme—The- width of the street is about 26 feet. The man was running very fast. Several were apprehended on suspicion of having committed the murder. I gave a description of the man to Inspector Moore. A person about 40 years of age was taken up, but when I saw him I at once said he was not the man. Ellen Napier—l am a woman of the town. I have gone by the name of Scott. About a month before the murder I saw the prisoner and had some conversation with him about Mrs. Tape. lie asked me if I bad seen a stout woman, about 40. He said she had given him a loathsome disease. I asked if he could mention the name. He said he could not. About three days after he asked me the same question, and again about a week after. I mentioned the names of all the women that walked in the neighbourhood. I mentioned the name of Mrs. Tape, and he said " That must be her." He said he should never get rid of the disease, and used a dis gusting threat. I saw the prisoner on the night of the mur der by the chapel in Charlotte-street, Bloomsbury, a little before nine o'clock. He had on a short jacket and a hat. The jacket was not velveteen. I was walking up and down, and lie spoke to ins. I said, "If you wish to see Mrs. Tape, whom you have asked about so many times,, in a few minutes you'll see her." Mrs. Tape and a woman named Caroline Graham came up. The prisoner said, " There you are ; that's the person I wish to see ; you have given me the —." She said, "I do not know you." He said, she did. She repeated, " that she did not know him, and had never seen him in her life." He said, " You ought to know me; if I put on my velveteen coat you would know me better." A policeman came up, and we walked on. We left the prisoner and Mrs. Tape (the name by which the de ceased was known to the wretched creatures with whom she associated) walking away together and talking. She soon after left him, and came towards me. He said lie would not hurt Mrs. Tape. I went away, leaving him talking to " Biddy." In ten minutes I returned—about half-past 10. I saw a man speaking to Mrs. Tape. Soon after I saw the man and Mrs. Tape go into No. 11, George-street. I did not see the man's face. He had on a velvetteen coat and a cap. His height was about the prisoner's. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINEI was not examined at the police-office or by the coroner. I was examined by the grand jury. I heard of the murder the same night. I first communicated what I have stated to the superintendent. • Re-examined by Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS—I saw Con nor at Newgate, and pointed him out among a number of persons. Caroline Graham—On the night of the murder I was in Charlotte-street, Bloomsbury, with the last witness. I saw Conner there. Mrs. Tape was with roe. He Came up to Mrs. Tape and said, " I have been looking for you for the last seven weeks. Don't you recollect me?" She said she did not know him. He told her when he saw her last, and what was the result. He said, "I had a v e l ve t een coat on and a cap." She still denied all knowledge of him, and I said he must be mistaken. Soon after a policeman came up, and I went away. The last time I saw the prisoner was about half-past eight. I saw the deceased go into the house with a man about half.past ten. He had on a velveteen coat and a cap. Cross-examined by Mr. Basa.esaiNe—Was not examined before the magistrate or the coroner. Bridget Ronan (known as Biddy)—l get my living by walking the streets in the neighbourhood of St. Giles's. I saw the prisoner on the Saturday before the murder. He spoke about a disease he was labouring under, and said it had been communicated to him by Mrs. Tape. I saw him on Monday night, about half-past nine o'clock, near the chapel. He was alone. I asked him how he was? He said, " Much the same ;" and added, " I have just been blowing the old h-- up. She denies all. If I comes up to h er i n t h ese clothes she'll know me." (He had on a fustian jacket and a hat.) He said, " I shall go home and change my clothes, and put on my black coat and cap, and then she won't know me." He then left me. I saw him again about ten minutes after. He had on a black velveteen coat and a cap with a peak. He came close to me, and said "Do you think she'll know me now ?" I said, " Yes; why shouldn't the woman know you ?" He said before he went to change his clothes, " I have something at home that will pepper her." He had frequently said before that he would serve her out. He then went away. I was gone about three-quarters of an hour, and when I came back there was a crowd about the house. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—I told the police what the prisoner said. I did not know his name nor where he worked. I had known him for about a twelve month. Elizabeth Hill said— T saw the prisoner a little after nine o'clock the night of the murder in Charlotte- street, near the chapel. I saw him speak to Mrs. Tape. I did not hear what he said ; but 1 heard her say, "I didn't." About a quarter of an hour afterwards I saw him at the, corner of Vine-street. He asked me how I was; and on my askinghim how he was, he said, " That old woman has given me the —." He said he had been home to put his cost on. He gave me 2d. to get some beer, and a fore penny pie ;e to take him to my place and see what was the matter with him. I had an opportunity of noticing his dress, and he wore a velveteen coat and a cap. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—That was after ten. I live near the house where the murder was committed — about five minutes' walk from Oldham's (the cutler's where the knife was bought). To the best of my belief he was not affected with a loathsome disease. _ . Henry Oldham, a cutler, carrying on business in High street, St. Giles, said—The distance from my shop to the house in George-street is about 300 yards. Endell-street is about the same distance. On the night of the 31st of March I was in my shop. I sold this knife to a person. That is the man. He came into my shop at ten minutes to ten. He said, "What's the cheapest small carving-knife you have?" I said, " I will show you some directly. I believe I have some second-hand ones." After I had done what I was abort, I went to the counter, and I took three knives from a drawer, and placed them on the counter before him. IV Mr. Baron ALDERSON—I was on the opposite side of i the counter to that on which he was. There are three gas lights in the shop. Witness-1 said they were a shilling each. He took , them all into his hand and examined each. He made no observation. He put down a shilling, kept one knife, and put the other two on the counter, and was going away. I did not like the idea of his taking the bare knife out in his band, and I offered to wrap it up in paper. Ile came back. ' I set the edge on a stone, wrapped it up, and he then left the shop. I did not notice his dress particularly. He had a hat and a dark coat on. He was quite a stranger to me. I saw him on the following Friday. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—He wore a coat with tails to it. When I wasexamined before the magistrate I had a strong belief he was the man, Lut I was not quite sure. He asked me a question, and my belief was strength rued by his voice. I gave information to one of the inspectors • of the B division. 1 did not say I should know him by a blotch on the side of his nose. I said nothing about it at that time. I told the police that my daughter said she thought the man had a blotch on the side of his nose. I had not heard until the prisoner was taken into custody and not until I had seen him that a young man had used threats to wards the deceased. I saw Inspector Pearce before I saw the prisoner. When I saw Connor I did not know that he was the man that had used the threats. By Mr. Baron ALDERSON—The prisoner was in my shop two or three minutes. He had his hat on all the time. The only time he spoke was in stating what he wanted. The second time I heard him speak was at Bow-street. His voice was not set like that of a youth verging into manhood. I also knew him by his age. One of the lights was over his head, and threw the shade of his hat over his face. The other light was in the window, about two yards from him, and gave an excellent light. Emily Elizabeth Oldham, daughter of the last witness, an intelligent little girl, was then sworn, and having been placed on the bench, was questioned by Mr. Baron Alderson as to the nature and responsibility of an oath, of which she was fully cognizant. She said, I was standing by my father's side when the man came in. When the man was looking at the carving-knives I stood at my father's side, and saw his face. That is the man, said the witness, looking steadfastly, and pointing at the prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—I noticed a small blotch on the side of his nose. It was rather red, and was like a large pimple. It was on the left side of the nose. I was in the shop about a minute. I saw the prisoner at the sta tion-house on the Friday evening. He had then no blotch on his nose. William Pocock, 81 F—ln consequence of information which I received I went to 15, Endell-street, on the evening of Friday following the murder. I found this coat there. It was hanging on a peg behind the door, with two coats hang ing over it. I examined it next morning. I found some blood on the right-hand cuff, and a little on the left. The marks are as visible now as then. There is some blood en the inside of the right-hand pocket. I also produce a cap and and a hat. I also found sisChospital tickets. (The coat was here shown to the Learned Judges, and was minutely exa mined by them.) Nicholas Pearce, Superintendent of Police—On the after noon of Friday, the 4th of April, I went to No. 4, Stone cutters-alley, Gate-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. I went to the door of the first-floor room. It was fastened inside. I knocked at the door, and it was opened by a female. I found the prisoner sitting on a chair. I asked him his name, and he said it was Joseph Connor. I told him I was an officer of police. 1 was not in uniform. He made no answer. I called on a policeman from the street. and when lie came I took the prisoner into the back-yard, where I told him why I took him into custody. He said " Yes, Sir ; oh, yes !" Adolphus Lonsdale, 110 was in the cell with the pri soner late on the night he was taken into custody. About 4 o'clock in the morning he said, " I am sure to be tucked up if these two women come and give evidence against me. They saw me on Monday between 8 and 9 o'clock. I know them both to be prostitutes." Mr. Pearce was recalled, and cross• examined by Mr. BAL LANTINE—He said the prisoner was employed to turn a wheel at a silversmith's in Panton-street (Messrs. Garrard and Co.) Charles Waugh—l worked at Messrs. Garrard's in March last. The prisoner worked there with me. He told me about six weeks before the murder that he had got an in fectious disease from a woman, and that he would serve her out. I said, " You had better not interfere with the woman at all. If you strike her she will very likely take out a war rant against you." He said she was a young woman, fresh coloured, and fat. He said he should have got married to his cousin at Easter but for this illness; and he then said he should be married at Whitsuntide. He said her family knew what was the matter with him. I recollect the morn ing after the murder. He came a little after six to work as usual, and breakfasted with me. He went away at half-past 11 o'clock. He never came to work again. I did not know where he lived or lodged. He used to come to work in a hat and velveteen shooting-jacket, and changed the coat for a jacket. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—He had worked at Messrs. Garrard's for about eight months. He was a very nice young man, well conducted and civil, good-humoured and kind to his comrades in every respect, and honest, as far as I know. I never saw him work in his velveteen jacket. No rouge is used in the place where he worked. He did not polish. I have not been there all the time he was. I have not given evidence before. It was reported by one of the men that a woman had been murdered in St. Giles's. He had a velveteen coat, a velveteen waistcoat, and a hat on the morning in question. John Cochrane, a young man, said he was a tailor. I have known Connor for some years. I recollect the night of Monday, the 31st of March. I saw Connor about seven o'clock in the Crown, in the Seven-dials. He said he was suffering under a certain disease. He went away at eleven o'clock the same night.• I was ontside the door of the Crown. Connor came up. I think he came up Queen street, which leads close to George-street. A person might have run from George-street in five minutes. He looked flurried, as if he had been quarrelling. I went towards him. Prisoner—Perhaps you will allow me to ask the witness a question ? Mr. Baron ALDERSON said he would have an opportunity of asking the witness any question after the witness had given his testimony, but he had better leave himself in the hands of his CounseL Witness—l said, "Halloo, what's the matter with you? He said, " I have given her something." I did not know of whom he spoke, and asked him who he meant. He said, "The b— old w— that gave me the —." I said, jokingly, "I dare say you have not killed her ?" He said. " I don't know, but I have been home and taken off my things, so that they should not know me." There was a row in the Seven Dials, and I went to see it, and lost sight of the prisoner. He had on a velveteen coat and a cap. I heard of the murder the following morning. I heard that a person was taken into custody on Friday. I should not have mentioned this at all, but his father asked me to go before the Coroner; that is a fortnight ago. I first told this to police-constable Allen on the day the inquest terminated. I was not examined.—[Mr. Bal lantine having conferred with the prisoner continued his examination.]—l had not known Allen before. I was summoned to prove an alibi. I had not in formed the prisoner's father what I knew respecting the prisoner. I should not have gone if I had not been sum moned, and if Connor's father and Connor's sister had not come to me on the morning of the inquest, and asked me to come. I have been charged with robbing my master three years ago. I was tried, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. I have been tined 7s. for an assault since. These are the only times I have been charged with anything. I did not know where the prisoner lived or where he worked. Mr. Superintendent Pearce wrote down my statement at the station-house directly after the termination of the inquest. Mr. Richard Partridge, one of the surgeons at King's College Hospital—These tickets were given to the prisoner, and he was treated for a certain disease. He was not then convalescent. James Brothers, the husband of the murdered woman, said he had seen her body; that she was his wife, and that her name was Mary Brothers. Michael Connor, the prisoner's father, was next examined —He said, my son was living at 15, Endell-street, Long acre, at the time of this occurrence. That coat is my son's. The hat was never worn by him. I suppose the cloth cap was my son's. Cross examined by Mr. BALLANTINE —The prisoner came home at 11 o'clock, to a minute, on the night of the murder. I noticed nothing extraordinary in his demeanour. He slept with me. My wife slept with my daughter in another bed in the same room. He undressed in my presence, and laid his clothes on a chair. I got up and left hi m i n b e d a t half past 6in the morning. Nothing occurred during the night to attract my attention. He was not disturbed. I have worked for Mr. Garrard for 19 years as assistant stamper. I went to Cochrane first by my son's desire, to obtain him as a witness. I had never had the slightest communication with Cochrane. My son is the best that was ever reared to a poor man—he was kind, industrious, and civil. Re-examined by Mr. BODKIN.—I did not go out after seven o'clock. My son came in at half-past nine, and remained for 20 minutes. My son told me that Cochrane had seen him late on the night of the murder, and he desired me to tell him that I was to request him to come and prove it. By Mr. Baron ALDERSJN.—My son slept with me on Mon day night. He came home late on Wednesday morning, and slept till nine o'clock, when he went out. Mr. Fitzgerald, surgeon, said I was called to the house on the night of the murder, about 11 o'clock. The woman was dead. I made a post mortem examination by order of the Coroner. There were sixteen wounds altogether, and one mortal, pas sing through the chest, entering the first and second ribs, ant penetrating the pulmonary artery. Mr. BODKIN said that was the case for the prosecution. The jury then retired to take some refreshments. On the return of the jury the prisoner, who had been re moved during their adjournment, was again placed at the bar. [Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the jury for the defence, and was left speaking when our report left.] ROY AL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—At this fes tive season of the year, when so many are seeking for amuse ment, no place is better adapted for that purpose than the above institution ; but the greater number visit it for a higher purpose—that of instruction—and it will amply repay all those who are anxious to learn. Among the numerous specimens of natural history. works of art and science, we mention! Messrs. Clegg and Samuda's working model of the atmospheric railway, which has created so much atten tion. Models in all their complicated and varied features ; steam-engines, fixed and locomotive; diving bells ; diver, who exhibits various life preservers in the great tank. Among those which excite the most atten tion, we may mention Mr. Wilson's life coat, and many others too numerous to name. Lectures on chemistry and natural philosophy, by Doctors Ryan and Backhoffner, who deserve great credit for the simple yet effective manner in which they convey their ideas, and at the same time blending in struction with amusement. The Physioscope, the Croma trope, and most beautiful dissolving views, all of which in a great degree enhance the pleasure which the Directors offer to the public, by the very liberal manner in which every thing novel, both for amusement or instruction, is displayed and explained.
