ALEXANDER BEATTIE, Secretary. 3, Old Broad-street, March 1, 1851. RAILWAY PASSENGERS' ASSUR ANCE COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.) The third half-yearly meeting of this company was held this afternoon at the offices, 3, Old Broad-street, City; John Dean Paul, Esq., chairman. The report commenced by congratulating the share holders on the satisfactory progress made during the past year in the business of the company. The perio dical tickets issued in 1849 were 1,123, and in 1850, 2,320. The single journey tickets issued in 1849 were as follows: -Ist class, 11,397; 2d class, 18,429; 3d class, 16,504. They had increased in 1850 to-Ist class, 14,008 ; 2d class, 30,040 ; and 3d class, 40,236. The receipts for the half-year, ending 31st December, amounted to 2,531/. Is. 11d., being an increase over the previous half-year of 4441. Is. 7d.,. and over the amount of the premiums taken in the first five months the com pany was in operation, ending 31st December, 1849, of 1,1091. 14s. I Id. The directors had not availed them selves of the power to raise a call of 11. in addition to the deposits r ail The claims daring the last six months had very largely increased. Several serious railway accidents had occurred in England and Scotland, and among the sufferers, on almost every occasion, were some who had taken insurance tickets previous to com mencing the journey, or who held periodical tickets. The claims consequently had been numerous, and in some instances heavy, so that the compensation paid during the period in question, and in course of adjustment at the time when the accounts were made up, would necessarily absorb what would otherwise have been divisible to the shareholders at this time. From the commencement of the business of the company to the present date, embracing a period of twenty months, the claims had been for two fats' oases, insured for 5001. each, and for fifty-five cases of personal injury, the compensation to which in the cases adjusted had varied from IL to 4251., according to the severity of the injury sustained in each case. The com pany had some remarkable escapes to notice. In one very serious accident which happened to an excursion train in July last, where upwards of 150 persons were more or less injured, there were only eleven out of that number who held insurance tickets, who became claim ants on the company. In another still more se rious accident in August, when they bad eleven cases of personal injury to meet, there were no fewer than six persons killed, of whom, unfortu nately for their families, none had taken insurance tickets. Again, in September, when 18 persons were more or less seriously injured, only one of them was in sured, and his claim was for an injury so slight, that the sum of 31. sufficed to meet his demand for compen sation. The accounts up to the 31st December exhi hired a gross income from premiums for the half-year (including balance due from previous half-year's ac count) of 3.6601. 16s. 4d., and a total expenditure of 2,261/, 19s. 9d., leaving a balance at that date, after de ducting estimated amount due on various accounts of 998/. 16e. 7d. This sum the directors would have ap propriated in plying interest or dividend upon the shares, but the claims upon the company in re spect of accidents, towards the close of the year, were so numerous, and some of them so heavy, that the entire balance must necessarily be reserved to meet them. The issue of single journey tickets had been extended, since the last half-yearly meeting, to fourteen additional lines of railway. Two or three companies still refused to sanction the issue of tickets, though on one of those lines where this refusal had been persisted in, a ver y serious accident happened in December last. In the month of December, arrangements were made to es tablish the issue of single journey, as well as periodical tickets, on the leading railways in Ireland. The Great Southern and Western Company, and the lines towards Belfast, afforded every faci lity for this purpose, and since the Ist of January, the receipts from that source, though small, had not been trenched upon by any claims in respect of acci dents. The company established in France had com menced its operations, and being in friendly correspon dence with this company, the mutual interests of both would be promoted by the publicity given to the system of insurance there, as well as here. Since this period last year, two companies had been formed to do insur ance business, in some respects similar to that which this company wee the first to propose to the public. But a; neither cf there companies had obtained an Act of Parliament, it w Ls not expected that they would seri ously effect the business of this company. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he was glad to inform the proprietors that there had been a steady and, he trusted, an important and perma nent increase in the amount of business transacted. The company had rapidly risen to a position of great public utility and usefulness, and the success which had at tended it had scarcely a precedent in the history of life assurance societies. Since the commencement of the enterprise they had issued no less than half-a-million of journey-eicliets, and the returns of the last quarter showed that the company had grown daily in the estima tion of the travelling public. Whi'e the proprietors would reap, as he fully anticipated, a fair reward for their invested capital, they would at the same time have the satisfaction of kaowiug that they had relieved the misfortunes of bereaved widows and orphans, and also compensated, as far as pecuniary assistance could do, many sufferers from railway accidents; and these great advantages were secured to the parties by paying a cern paratively trifling, premium. During the half year fifty eight cases of accident had occurred, in which the sufferers had received from the company sums varying from 11. to 425/. as compensation for thus injuries they had received. There were also two cases of fatal acci dent, in which the deceased individuals had assured:their lives for 5001. each, and the company had just received notice of a third case of the same kind. In the two first cases both the parties were married, one leaving behind him a family of six children, but they were possessed of no property; and letters had been sent to the directors by their representatives or friends, acknowledging with grateful thenks the ready boon conferred upon them by the company. Though the accounts for the half-year showed a balance of 998/. 16s. 7d., the directors die not feel justified in recommending a dividend at present ; but they fully expected that the shareholders would soon have an amine return for the capital they had invested in the undertaking. The Chairman concluded by moving the adoption of the report: After a brief discussion the motion was agreed to, the retiring directors aed auditors re-elected, and a sum of 300/. awarded to the directors for their labours during the past year. The meeting was then made special, and a resolution which was agreed to at a former meeting confirmed, ex tending the benefits and advantages of the company to pup (vas on railways. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman for his con , duct in the c:tair, the meeting separated. GERMANY. The following is the text of a letter of the King of Wurtemberg to Prince Schwarzenberg, on the Con ferences at Dresden, to which many allusions have recently been made in the German journals - : " your Ilig,hness,—From the report of my Plenipo tentiary in Dresden, I perceive that you decidedly reject collective idea of ca lli ng i nto ex i s t enc e a representation of the vo,re nation by th e s ide of the chief Executive of the Bend, which e tablishcd, m la even in this open That from declaration, I sincerely regret this intelligence your Highness will think quite natural, well-known freedom of ex presion• vcmy own own part, I h ave a l wa y s , b e fo r e as well an since this lamentable eve n t s o f 18 4 8, b e li eve d that a reform o f the Act a revision of the lath artce of true palladi um an d t h e on l y l Confederation, an d es p ec i a lly was unavoid a bl e .

If we deprive the nation of its proper share in its chief collective political government, we cannot hope to reconcile it with the constitution of the Bund, and as little can we hope to arrest the revolution in Germany. In the course of time the old conflict will be renewed, with all the powers of anarchy in and without the seve ral Chambers arrayed against the Central Government, and I believe I do not deceive myself when I assume that in the end this conflict will not be decided to the advan tage of our new political creation. "In the above lines I have given your Highness a sincere declaration of my political belief as to the political re-organization of Germany. Either we can govern in the several States without Chambers and popular representation, or we cannot. If we cannot, neither can we dispense with a similar representation as the centre of the federative system, if we wish not to produce a conflict, sooner or later, between the newly-established Central Power and the disor ganized elements of the several State Diets, which would divide the Confederation internally, and more and more weaken it without. To maintain that a general Parlia mentary connexion is impracticable is, according to my view of the question, equivalent to admitting that the Bond itself can neither be adapted to the age nor long upheld. Your Highness knows lam no friend of improvised charters and modern political experi ments; but in political affairs T -like just as little the introduction of or return to that which comes too late or has outlived itself. As a Prince of the Con federation, I shall as conscientiously discharge my duties to the new Bund as to the old one; hut as a German and ruler of my land, I cannot recognise as satisfactory, adapted to the age, or definitive, a revision of the Bund, which does not sufficiently admit the just claims of the na tion to,s participation in its own great political destinies. Luckily ' I am old enough not to expect to live to see the unavoidable consequences of all we are doing and neglecting to do at this moment in Dresden. " With assurances, &c., " WILHELM." " S tnttgardt, Jan. 18. ITALY. We read in a letter from Rome of February 24 : " General Gemeau'sfite was kept here last Thurs day. Many cardinals and Roman princes were present, but retired early. The ball was very brilliant. The first day of carnival, which began on Saturday, was not remarkable for gaiety ; Rome is, however, perfectly tranquil, and if the weather prove favourable, there is every reason to be lieve that the carnival will be more splendid than last year. The premium on specie continues to fall ; trade is improving, and signs of increasing prosperity begin to appear. A funeral mass was celebrated, and a Te Ileum sung at the church of St. Louis, on this day, for the 24th of February." Private letters from Rome of the 22d ult. state that Cardinal Antonelli is likely to retire, and that the Secretaryship of State will be divided between two cardinals, one of whom is to be entrusted with Fo reign, the other with Home Affairs. Cardinal An tonelli, however, will, it is supposed, continue in the post of Prefect of the Palace, so that his influence with the Holy Father would not be diminished in the slightest degree. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TIIESDAY.—The termination - Of th e Ministerial crisis has removed the political pressure which, in some degree, affected our market last week, and, with the upward tendency of the raw material, has encouraged the producers of some kind of yara to take a somewhat higher stand than they did a week ago, and rather added to the firmness of others. The quotations are fully id. per lb. higher for 20's and 30's water in the bundle; and also for pin-cops and warps; in many instances, id. is demanded. The sellers have found more inquiry, with an inelinatiou for business among the buyers, which would have been attended with greater actual results, if the pre vious rates had been accepted. A disposition has been shown by the home consumers to add to their now scanty supplies; and by the European merchants, to execute such limited orders from the manufacturers and dealers of Germany, Italy, and other parts of the continent, as their deteriorated trade enables, and the fluctuating slate of our market warrants them to send over. There have not been any particular indications of business either in yarns or goods from the India merchants, who have not yet received their letters. The telegraphic statement of the news by the overland mail, posted on 'Change early in the forenoon, with the detailed accounts con taiaed in the newspapers, received at half-past two, have not tended to promote but rather to check operations, as they describe a worse state of trade both at Bombay and Calcutta. The advices from Constantinople, re ceived this morning, represent the market as in creasingly depressed in yarns, prints, and gray and white goods ; the merchants hero have, therefore, Flown less inclination to p urc h ase than b efore. The present restricted buying on the part of the Greeks is mainly in connexion with Alexandria. Altogether, the day's transactions in goods have been on a limited scale; there prevails, however, a general firmness in prices; and the sales of 40-inch shirtings effected within the last few days on China account have rather added to the value of those articles. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had another dull market to-day; few pieces were sold, and those at re duced prices. There has been little or nothing doing in wool ; those manufacturers who hove purchased have giver, less money ter it. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The 'demand for manu factured goods has not received any impulse since our last ; the wholesale houses still demurring to give any advance on the prices of last year. Should this feeling continue, we fear that many more operatives will be thrown out of employment. The thrown silk market remains in the , same inanimate state as quoted for some time past. Notwithstanding this continued flatness, we do not bear of prices having given way in the least. The dyers are again very slack of work. The raw silk market remains firm, with, however, very little business doing. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We had but slight hopes this morning of any business being done; in our market to-day ; and, indeed, our expectations were realized up to ten or eleven o'clock, as nothing was done before that hour. But after the resumption of office by the late Ministers became generally known, business took a change and began to be brisk nearly at once ; and indeed a very good trade has been generally done, bat more especially amongst the lighter quality of woollens and fancies for the spring trade. Mixtures have been inquired for. In the wool trade it has been flat, though the dealers are more opan for bargains than they were a fortnight since. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The uncertainty that thongs over our domestic politics, and the increasing depression in every branch of the wonted trade, make amost every one unwilling to enter upon any operations, either in wools, in yarns, or in manufactured goods; and prices may be considered as almost nominal. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—Thero is no change to notioein the woollen trade since our last report. The markets have been dull at the Cloth Halls, both to-day and Saturday last. Prices unaltered, and stocks are not heavy. THE FINANCES. (From the Derbyshire Courier.) " Most people," says our politic contemporary, the 7 ime.s, " are now agreed upon the conclusion that Go vernments rise and sink, thrive or decline, in accordance with the success or failures in the ar.iministration of the public finances." Now this is a proposition which we are by no means prepared to dispute. Tne head of a family may be liberal, learned, scientific, full of enlightened views and patriotic aspirations, but if the finances of his establishment are suffered to fall into confusion, his liberality fails to pro vide just remuneration for his dependants, his learning and science are rendered inoperative, and all his en lightenment fails to secure the comfort, happiness, and respectability of " those of his own household." As it is with a family, so it is with a nation. And, therefore, it is of the highest importance that a country, and especially an old, a thickly-populated, commercial, and deeply-indebted country, should pos sess, at least, one able financial Minister. No one will accuse the late Chancellor of the Exchequer of being this very desirable national functionary —a good financier. Finance does not seem to have been the forte of the late Ministry, and certainly a more unsatisfactory, feeble, do-nothing Budget was never intruded on the patience of a Parliament, than that of Sir Charles Wood. It, doubtless, has ba nished him from office, and accelerated the downfall of the Ministry which he encumbered with his assistance. His refusal to adjust the income-tax, so as to make an equitable distinction between the income derived from personal exertion and professional energy, and that derived from realised capital, decided his fate. When, in 1842, after an ineffectual at tempt to raise the income of the country up to its ex penditure, it was sagely proclaimed that "indirect taxa tion had reached its limit," and with a deficit of upwards of ten millions, the nation, in despair, submitted to the imposition of an income-tax, which Peel assured them was the only means of escaping from their embarrass ment, the country was too glad to get out of its difficulties to inquire minutely into the means of relief. But after the experience of some years, and find ing, moreover, that what was accepted only as a tempo rary expedient, is likely to become a permanent impost, it is natural that all who pay this tax should insist MI its being equitably apportioned. There would have been, we conceive, no real difficulty to a man of business in doing this. But difficult or not, the country expected that it should be at tempted ; but this expectation the Chancellor disappointed, and hie whole plan was weakness itself. The country, as Mrs. Malaprop would say, does not ad mire the " ineffectual" qualities in a Chancellor, They had hired him, and found him wanting. .2V ex quovis 1.,,1GN0 Mercurius fit. B u t w h ere are we to look for t h e o c ti o n m t r i y n g s ' o ' advertise Chancellor? (our Wouldpaper is annoetxbeell ew en e t ll in f e o d r iu th m e fir adv ertisements") for a Chancellor of it must be sober, and business active, and un d erstand hi s .

Lord Stanley, it seems, has engaged to do his best to form a Ministry—and we hear, from excellent authority, that be has full power ! But no remedy which does not go to the very root of the financial evil, will meet the exigencies of the country. We have seen Ministry after Ministry baffled by the state of the public finances; then what, we ask, would be done, if we should be forced into a war? We must then return to Pitt's sys tem—improved as much as you please—of a represen tative paper money. And by this means only can we fight against the national indebtedness, against the dis tress which periodically pervades our agriculture, our commerce, our manufactures, and against the in creasing requirements of our teeming population. One Ministry may fall, and another rise, but we base our pre diction for the future on the experience of the past, when we say that, without a real reform of the monetary system, no Ministry, Protectionist or Free-trade, Whig or Tory, can permanently retain office.

PAROCHIAL ASSESSMENT. Lord VIVIAN presented a petition in favour of an improved system of parochial assessment. Lord MALMESBURY thought that the present law of parochial assessment was a most substantial case of injustice. A Committee had been granted by her Ma jesty's Government in the course of last session, and ho trusted that the present session would not be allowed to pass without some measure being introduced on the subject. TRANSPORTATION OF CONTICTS. VAN DIEM AN'S LAND. Lord MONTEAGLE presented a petition, nume rously and respectably signed, from Van Dieman's Land, praying for the discontinuance of the trans portation of convicts to that colony. He wished to call their Lordships' attention to the terms of this petition, which contained in it an imputation of bad faith on the course pursued towards the colony by her Majesty's Government in this respect. Some 17 years ago, owing to various representations, her Majesty's Government had determined on discontinuing to send transports to that colony for two years, and at the opening of the session of 1848 Sir W. Dennison announced to the Legislative Council that even after these two years bad expired the system of transportation would not be re sumed. The petitioners stated that not one of the pledges made by the Government had been fulfilled; that even before the lapse of two years transportation to the colony had been resumed, and that under the existing circumstances the enormous amount of convict population was not only destroying the best hopes entertained of the moral improvement of the colony, but driving out of it the free population and free emigrants, and lowering the rats of wages as compared with other colonies. The petitioners concluded by stating that in consequence of the persevering in justice of the English Government to the colony, they had no reliance whatever in any pledges which they might make. By the last returns it appeared that more than half of the population of Van Dieman's Land were convicts, and he (Lord Monteagle) feared that the disturbances which took place at the Cape of Good Hope might have their example elsewhere. Indeed, at present there was every disposition evinced in New South Wales to establish a kind of league for the purpose of rendering the introduction of convicts into any part of that great colony utterly impossible. An opinion had been given by several eminent judges to the effect that the abandonment of transportation as a secondary punishment would be attended with great danger to the administration of criminal justice. If resistance was an alternative likely to arise, it was an alternative that could be foreseen and prevented. No less than 27,000 convicts had been thrown upon Van Dieman's Land atone, and be put it to their Lord ships whether that was either right or proper. —(Hear, hear.] He had now performed the duty he had undertaken, and as the subject he had brought under the notice of their Lordships was one of considerable importance, he hoped it would not escape the attention of her Majesty's Government.—(Hear.) Earl GREY did not think it necessary to detain their Lordships with any lengthened reply to the ob servations of the Noble Lord who bad presented this petition; but the Noble Lord had repeated a statement which he made last year, namely, that there had been a breach of faith on the part. of the Government with re gard to sending out convicts to Van Dieman's Land. —(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Now, he begged at once to contradict that allegation.—(tletsr, bear.) All the dispatches which had been laid either before the House or the Colonial Legislature distinctly stated that it was not intended entirely to abolish transportation, but, on the contrary, it was intended to continue it in a limited degree, and he thought some parts of those dispatches taken singly might lead to the impression which the Noble Lord appeared to labour under, yet when taken as a whole no one could form any other conclusion from them than that Government proposed to adopt a system which should compel the convict to suffer the greater part of his punishment at home, and which ultimately contemplated his transportation to some distant colony such as Van Dieman's Land.—(Hear, hear.) He had represented that in this country, where there was an excess of labour, that if his s y s t em were a d o pt e d , those persons would be a benefit instead of doing an in jury to the state, if a place were provided for their employ ment. The returns bad shown that the system which be bad adopted had been profitable to the whole state. His object and that of his colleagues was to send con victs out to colonies where their labour was required. The result had proved that the notions entertained by her Majesty's Government were correct. The object of the Government was to make a dif ference in the fate of the convicts, in order that, instead of sending a number of convicts out at once from a state of restraint to perfect li berty, for which they would naturally be unfit, an intermediate state should be provided, by which the convicts might learn habits of tem perance and order. The result bad shown that they were correct. It was true that an address had been voted by the other House of Parlia ment, in which, as he thought, his Noble Friend the First Lord of the Treasury had imprudently con curred. But he might . say that their play had been fully effective in its operation. In New Zea land the test had been closely applied, and the effect was to show that no labour had been so valued as convict la bour. That it was compulsory was true, but it was none the less effective on that account. The labourers had invariably proved honest and industrious, and had been a material assistance to the colony. This was a natter to be looked at, as the object of the Government was to render a benefit to the whole of the colonial dependencies.—(Hear, hear.) Then, from the reports respecting Australia, he could say that out of 1,618 convicts sent to that colony only 40 were ever brought before magistrates, and of these only 10 had been convicted of any offence greater than that of petty larceny. He could cite other instances. He was persuaded that the inhabitants of New South Wales would see that it would be for their advantage that convicts should be again sent to that colony. He agreed they ought not to be sent to Sydney or the large towns, but it would be for the advantage of the colony that they should be sent to the immense sheep. feeding downs; and on a division which took it pwlaacseeeilny the Sydney Legislatur e as to t h e propriety of receiving convicts, the numb ers were equal, and casting vote of the Speaker which decided the question, and when the Legislature should be divided, there would be but little doubt but that the northern district would be in favour of receiving con victs, as every inhabitant of that district wished to have the advantage of convict labour. The latest accounts he had received from Van Dieman's Land proved that that colony was rising from the depression under which it had been suffering, the demand fur labour was greater, the revenue was increasing, and commerce was im proving ; the ship-building trade had greatly increased and he believed it would increase, and that convict la bour would be found most valuable. The convictions at the police-courts had fallen off, which proved that the morals of the population were improving.

That child was buried on the following Sunday. On the afternoon of Saturday, the 13th of the same month, the other child, Frederick, was taken ill, and died about 11 o'clock the following morning. A surgeon was called in about 8 o'clock to attend the child, and having observed symptoms of poison he gave notice to the coroner and police. A post viortem examination took plsce, and arsenic was found in vie stomach of the child. The magistraie, of the neigh bourhood then directed that the body of the other Sarah Ann, should be exhumed, and upon t xaminaion the stemaeh of that child also was found to contain arsenic; bus that fact was inadmissible in evidence upon the charge of poisoning Frederick. and was cons quently not proved. The prisoner's husband, her mother, and her sister were also at, first taken into custody upon suspicion, but they were afterwards discharged. In support of the charge against the prisoner, a wit ness of the name of Caucutt was called, for the purpose of proving that about the end of June, last year, a wo man, whom he believed to be the prisoner, had bought at his shop, at Stoney Stratford, an ounce of arsenic for 2d., which she said ,as to poison rats or mice. On being asked wht re she came from. she said Paulerspury or W hit tlehury (10.3 th near Towcester); and in r,-ply to a question. "Why did you not get it at 'foarcester, nearer ,hem- ?" answered that she had been buying other things at Sirat ford, and wished to take. it home with her. It was also attempted to prove about the same time she had unsuc cessfully applied for arsenic to a Mrs. Twining, the wi'e of a chemist at Winslow, near Buckingham, and had been seen by a man of the name of Phillips coming along the road from Buckingham. Various statements msde by the prisoner were also given in evidence. When she, her husband, and other prisoners were being conveyed to gaol, she kept saying, " Fred, my poor Freddy, I have dandled you about the streets of 'Puy that I should be brought to gaol accused of poisoning you." Her husband told her to be quiet, upon which she turned round and said, "Never mind; say nothing; they ean't hurt us." Before she was in custody she raid " that her moiher was there when the second child died, and that she (the mother) would go back to London again, for they would very likely persevere in it, as it was the second child that had died in so short a time; but she did not mind their persevering, for she knew they would not find out where the poison was bought. Hone child was poisoned the other was, and she hoped they would open both." On the Thursday before the child died she went into a neighbour's cottage and said, "I have got a bloom on my apple tree. I don't like it; it is a sign of sickness or death." The neighbour said, "Ann, you have had both ;" to which she replied, "I have, for I've lost my Sarah Ann, bless her;" seeming very sorrowful and shedding tears. Upon cross-examination by Mr. O'BRIEN it was eli cited that the prisoner had been a careful and affection ate mother to her children, in whom she seemed to take pride; that they were well attended to, kept clean and in nice order; and that the boy Frederick was an engaging child, very clever, tall, and fair; that during his illness all the directions of the doctor were punctuatiy obe)ed; and that the prisoner herself on Saturday evening went to Towcester for the medicines. Mr. Caucutt could not speak very positively to the identity of the prisoner. Mrs. Twining did express a belief that the prisoner was the woman who came to her shop; but the witness Phillips could not swear that the day on which he met the prisoner was not as long ago as Easter Monday. Mr. Caucutt was cautioned by the Judge not in fu ture to sell poison to a stranger, unless in the presence of a witness, or upon making the purchaser sign his or her name. The following statement, made by the prisoner before the magistrates, was also put in evidence:— " Last Easter Monday was the last day I ever went to Buckingham—me and my sister. I only sent to one place in Buckingham. and that was Mr. Adcock's. After I had got out of Buckingham I met Thomas Gre gory, and the next as I met, that I knew, was Mr. Phillips, as near six o'clock as could b e . Th e next man _ _ _ I met was Tht , mas Mehan, the letterman. We went on to Akely, and I stopped there at Mrs. Adams' some time. They were playing at cricket. I went to another Mrs. Adams', and had some supper, and then we started home. I was as far as Captain Dayrell's sixteen weeks ago last Saturday along the road. I can tell you the last druggist's shop I was in. I was in one once—Mr. Sirrett's, Buckingham, four years ago. I bought some powders and a box of ointment. I have never been in one since but at Mr. Blencowe's, Towcester. I pur chased two ounces of salts and twopeiinyworth of pills for my sister. The last time I was through Stoney Stratford was twelve mon'hs last Easter Saturday, ex cept once on a Sunday. That is all the druggists' shops I have been in these eight years. I never was in a druggist's shop in Stratford in my lice, and I never saw that man before in my life that I know of. I never bought poison. If my children wire poisoned I'm inno cent. Mr. Parsons said he looked as if be had some thing poisonous out of the wood or hedges. I men tioned it to his father, and the child said, ' Mother, I'm rare I've never had anything that I should not.' Then his father questioned him as to whether anybody gave him anything out of a bottle, and he told his father 6 No.' I mentioned it to my sister, and she said she did not think anything of it." Mr. O'BniEN, in addressing the jury for the prisoner, said that deep as was his sense of the responsibility which rested upon him, that feeling had been consider ably relieved iu the course of the trial by the temperate manner in which the prosecution had been conducted, by the valuable aid which the experience of the Learned Judge had rendered, and the character of the evidence itself. The very nature of the charge demanded their serious attention. Here was the mother of a family of five children, well attended to, tenderly cared for, and affectionately and properly treated, charged wish the murder of a clever b o y, j us t t h e c hild in whom - a mother would take pride, without any assignable motive, and upon what evidence? He submitted chat except the single fact that poison had been found in the body of the chili, here was not a fragment of evidence to connect the prisoner with the atrocious crin►') imputed to h: r. On the contrary, the evidence wax tull of inferences in her favour. So far as her expres , ions and her conduct were concerned, they attested her innocence in the most powerful and touching language. If, indeed, it had been proved that she had applied for arsenic at Winslow, or had biught arsenic at Stoney Stratford, they would have been facts of considerable suspicion; but the evidence of identity wax such that no jury could rely upon it in any case, still less in a case of so serf us a nature. After j a minute analysis of the evidence, the Learned Counsel con cluded by reminding the jury of the solemn responsibility which rested upon them, and expressing his conviction that they would not be rash where they ought to be cautious—that they would not be positive where they ought to doubt. The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence at greet length, commenting strongly upon the absence of all assignable motive for the commission of the crime, upon the effect of the declarations made by the prisoner, and upon the unsatisfactory nature of the evidence of identity. The jury, after a very few minutes' deliberation, re turned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner was then art. Aigned upon a second in dictment, charging her with the murder of her other child, Sarah Ann, but as there was no additional evi dence which could be offered in this case, the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, with the assent of the Learned Judge, declined to proceed, and a verdict of Not Guilty was taken upon that indictment a!so. In the course of the trial several interruptions took place in consequence of the over crowded state of the court. The crowd consisted chiefly of women, two of whom fainted. The Learned JUDGE expressed his surprise that women should be so anxious to be present at such dread ful investigations. It was, however, a matter of taste. They were called " the softer sex," but he thought in correctly. With this case the business of the Northamptonshire Assizes was brought to an end. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL, Rupert Clark, a respectably-dressed young man, was brought up before Alderman Finnis, charged on sus picion of burglariously entering the dwelling house of John Hyett, coffee-house keeper, of 52, Bartholomew close, and stealing therefrom a cash-box c on t a i n i ng about 30/. in gold and silver , a silver watch and guard, a pawnbroker's duplicate, a set of shirt-studs, and a variety of papers. There was also another charge of entering the pre mises of Mr. Gurney, an American store-keeper in Ox ford-street, and stealing thence a quantity of plate to the value of about 101. After a lergthened examination, Ald erman FINNIS said this was a case of very strong suspicion, and he would remand it for further inquiries.

Mr Peacock, the Post-office solicitor, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Wontner appeared for the pri- sonar. _ _ Joseph Hodson, a watchmaker from Barnstaple, stated that on the 24th ult. he enclosed a silver watch, and 2s. 6d. in postage stamps, in a small box, which, with a short note, he addressed to his father, residing in Cla rence-street, St. Luke's. His apprentice put the parcel into the post-office at Barnstaple, but he heard after wards that it did not reach its destination. The frag ments produced were part of the note and envelope. James Burgess, letter-carrier, stated that he delivered a parcel to the prisoner, at his lodgings in Hungerford street, Strand, on the 25th ult. n lt was addressed to Mr. Burke, and witness believed the envelope produced was the same. It had the appearance of an address being written over one which had been previously oh literatel, and witness noticed this circumstance at the titian he delivered the packet, with other letters, at the prisoner's residence. employed at Daniel Fleming said ho was occasionally the shop of Mr. Collier, in rlungertord-street, where the prisoner lodged. Witness happened to be in the shop when the parcel in question was delivered by the postman, and, while it was lying on the counter, he ob served that an address had been clumsily erased from the envelope, and the prisoner's direction was written over it. On looking at the envelope closely he per ceived that the original address was to Mr. Ilodsoll, to whom he consequently mentioned his suspicions upon the subject. A constable, in private clothes, waited upon the prisoner subsequently, and found the envelope, watch, &c., in his drawers. The prisoner at first denied all knowledge of the parcel, but afterwards said it bad boen sent to him by a relative in the country, and was delivered by the postman in the usual way. It was further proved by Air. Hudson, another clerk in the Inland-office, that the prisoner opened the Barn staple bag on the morning of the 25th ult., and that he must have re-directed the parcel to himself.

(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) John Bull and Walter Prestidge wore indicted for night poechieg. A third person, Joseph Fowler, had been committed on the same charge, but the bill against hire was ignored by the grand jury. Mr. Hayes conducted the prosecution; Mr. O'Brien de fended the prisoner Bull. It appeared that between nine and ten o'clock on the night of the 9th of January last the report of a gun was heard in Dunsmore plantation, in the parish of Edgcott, in this county, and very soon afterwards three men were seen in an adjoining meadow, two of whom were sworn to be the prisoners Bull and Prestidge. Bull had a gun, end, upon pursuit being made, turned round and said, "If you follow shoot you." They were, however, followed, and Prestidge having fallen one of the witnesses went up to him and held him down, until Bull, who was in advance, returned and pushed him off with the muzzle of his gun. No other violence was done. Both the mea dow and the plantation were enclosed land in which game was pre' erved. The jury found the prisoners Guilty. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said that he should pays a lenient sentence upon the prisoners as no violence had been iise•i; but he warned the prisoners that the habit of poaching very generally led to the commission of graver crimes. March 4. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) CHARGE OF POISONING. -- Aria Pell was indicted for _he wilful murder of her own child, Frederick, a ge d 8 yeare, by poisoning.
