For the defence it was contended that, even if the jury believed the woman, this was not the case of a young and inexperienced persoa being deceived by the artifices of a man who had promised her marriage ; but there had been a walk, an improper intercourse, and then a continued repetition of these improprieties. But it was urged that when the jury should have heard the evidenoe which would be produced for the defendant they would at once dismiss the case and give a verdict in his favour. down the Hackney-road, and was pulled up near the Roebuck public-house, kept by Mr. Gilling. The gen tleman got out, invited me to t a k e a g l ass o f a l e , and I was served with it by one of M r . Gilli ng ' s nieces. While I was drinking it (he had nothing to drink) the gentleman paid for it, and then mo tioned me to step back from the bsr, and asked me if there was not a respectable house in that neighbour hood. He did this in au under tone of voice, stooping towards me. At first I did not understand, and said, "I do not kn ow w h a t y ou mean." He said.

We went out and drove them to Weymouth-terrace, Hackney-road, and there stopped, and pointed out the door of the house, which is round the corner. The person who kept the house wit , : Mrs. Jones.

I opened the cab-door, he handed the lady out, and they went into the house. Then observed her shawl. Ile returned and paid me 2s.

Witness described her dress as very similar to the description given by the witnesses who had been examined before, viz., straw bonnet with white veil, black velvet dress, light-coloured shawl, &c., and wore a red ribbon round the throat, and a cameo brooch. She had also white gloves. She dined with the witness and I her sisters, and remained there until half-past seven in the evening, when she departed in an omnibus. They usually dined at one o'clock, or a quarter-past. Rev. Thomas Murray Browne, vicar of Standish, Gloucestershire, remembered an investigation before him self and other clergymen, to inquire into the truth of cer tain rumours which had got abroad as to the conduct of Mr. Karr. The gentlemen engaged in that inquiry were the Rev. G. Madon, rural dean; Rev. Mr. Perkins, Sir G. Provost, Mr. Cornewall, and himself. The inquiry was directed by the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol. Mr. Karr wished to know whether Mr. Gaisford was an accuser, to which Mr. Gaisford replied he was not, and that he was there against his will, upon which the com mission decided that parties should give what informa tion they thought fit, and that nothing should be used against Mr. Karr which transpired at that inquiry in any way. The commission bad no power to compel par ties to appear before them, their inquiry was not of a judicial character. Mr. Karr was only to answer as much as he thought fit, and then the matter was gone into. A statement bad been taken down by Mr. Madon, and it was read at Mr. Karr's desire, and in his presence. (That statement, it appeared, was furnished chiefly by Mr. Gaisford.] Mr. Karr occasionally made remarks upon it, and witness took notes of those remarks. Mr. WHATELY now proposed to put the statement of Mr. Gaisford in as evidence, it having been read in Mr. Karr's presence. Mr. KEATING and Mr. GRAY contended that the do. cument ought not to be received. His LORDSHIP, however, said he could not reject Mr. Phinn and Mr. Thring were counsel for the pro secution, and Mr. Edmonds defended Smith; the °attic prisoner was undefended. The LORD CHIEF BARON, in summing up, observed, that at nine o'clock both these old people had been seen in perfect health, and at ten the old man was found lying in his kitchen, mortally wounded, and he died a short time afterwards. The old woman was also deep. rately wounded. Footmarks were seen. They were followed, and at length the prisoners, who had shortly before the murder, been seen together in the neighbour. hood, were discovered together. On one was found the knife of the old woman, and on both money, which each prisoner admitted was taken from the old woman. If there was no other evidence, could there be a doubt upon their minds? The jury very shortly returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. His LORDSHIP then, in the most affecting scanner, passed sentence of death upon the prisoners. The crowd was intense. under the circumstances. The stement was then read. It was in the shape of a diary, and was headed, " Statement made by Mr. Gais ford, before the five clergymen appointed by the bishop to inquire into the rumours concerning the Rev. J. S. Karr and Mrs. Gaisford, at Dursley rectory, on the 10th of May, 1849, in the presence of the Rev. J. S. Karr, and Mr. Karr's observations thereon." The diary commenced from September, 1844, and was continued at intervals down to June, 1848, when Mrs. Gaisford finally left her husband's roof. It narrated the events which Mr. Gaisford had considered suspicious, and which had led to the bringing of this action. The notes of Mr. Karr's observations were very brief. This closed the plaintiff's case. Mr. KEATING rose to reply on the case. The case was one, as they must be well aware, which involved a very serious charge against the defendant, Mr. Karr. It would be a serious charge against any person who should be placed in the same situation as the defendant, but to a person occupying the position that Mr. Karr occupied, the substantiation of this charge against him might be summed up in one single little word, and that was " ruin." The case undoubtedly presented many features which were very peculiar, and differed in many of its es sential points, as fur as the evidence is concerned, f rom any he had ever met with in his experience, or recollected to have occurred. Mr. Karr went to Berke- ley in 1839, and soon after employed the - plaintiff' to collect his rents and the tithes of his living. Mrs. Gaisford was then 31 years of age. Mr. Karr was an ac tive magistrate, and Mr. Gaisfor the magistrate's clerk, and in consequence an acquaintance sprung up between the former and the family of the latter ; and Mr. Kerr was now called before them in consequence of that evi dence, and transactions put in evidence against him, not of a month, or three months, or three years, but transac tions extending from 1844 almost to the present time. Mr. Whateley, for the plaintiff, had divided his case into two parts—of what took place at Berkeley and the country, and what was alleged to have taken place in London. He then referred to the advantages which Mr. Gaisford had over Mr. Karr in this case, he being pos sessed of a knowledge of the law, and had therefore been years preparing for the scene which was then acting at the assizes. Mr. Gaisford had a great advantage in having had the statement which had been read in court yester day previously read by Mr. Karr, which had had the effect of making it evidence. He then adverted to the first coming of Miss Amyas to live with the plaintiff occasionally, from 1844, up to the 9th of June, 1848, when Mrs. Gaisford left her husband. He com mented on the improbability of any improper intimacy being exhibited by the parties at the archery meetings in an open field, surrounded by the respectable families of the locality, and, on one occasion, even in the presence of Mr. Gaistord himself. After alluding to the facts of the case, the Learned Counsel proceeded to comment on Mrs. Gaisford's going to London in February, 1848, having at that time had a serious illness. In the April following Mr. Karr went to London for the purpose of marrying his brother, and this latter matter was well known in the locality of Berkeley. Before Mr. Karr went to Loudon, Mrs. Gaisford had gone there to visit her friends, and out of what then took place was now manufactured—he used that word advisedly—charges which were entirely false. It was well known that Mr. Karr was in the habit of using Fladong's Hotel when in London, and there, on this occasion, he was staying with his aunt, who had also come to the wedding, when one morning he was told that a lady was waiting to see him. On going down stairs he saw the lady was Mrs. Gaisford, and knowing perfectly well the inference that would be put upon this visit, he at once, without waiting to introduce Mrs. Gaisford to his aunt, insisted upon her leaving the hotel. He let her out of the hotel, went for a cab, and putting her into it, went with her to Regent-circus, and getting oat of the cab there walked down Regent-street, seeing her there for the last time; and he did not believe he bad ever seen her since. She continued on towards where she was going, and Mr. Karr proceeded to the stores of Mr. Cunningham,with whom he was in the habit of dealing, and also to a fish ing-tackle maker's, named Bernard. From thislatter tradesman's, Mr. Karr returned to Mr. Cunningham's,h which occupied the time the defendant was alleged to have been with Mrs. Gaisford. The act of adultery was alleged to have taken place in the public cab, i n one i c of h more than the commonest wanton who walks th e streets of the metropolis would have been guilty of. Il Henjiae.mnine t hrn, the aoca public anhndd.t,lt n rh 1 e thoroughfares landlord hießegent-street, eg two of f barmaids, of the London. Rewbe e called for a verdict for the defendant , not only for hi s own sake, but for that of Mrs. Gaisford, and Mr. G a i sford, whose eyes he trusted the verdict would op en to the true state of the case. uckT,hiisn was t he re called to con t ra dict the evidence of th e ca b man Salmon as to the t. and st,r e with Joh n his elerkand Cunningham,am c w a ll ega tion that defendant had gone w i t h hi m i nto the R oe buck and trea tedhimen; John B ernar d, fi s hi ng - tac kl e d ealer, of 1 2, hokrChurch-place, Tilley, -cu place, proved that Mr. Karr was in the neighbourhood of Regent -street at the time the cabman Salmon represented he was four miles off, in the Hack ney-road. Mr. VVREATLEY having replied, Mr. Justice PATTESON summed up, and the jury re tired at a quarter to five o'olock. At seven the jury sent to ask his Lordship to read over the evidence relating to the time when the cab left the hotel and reached the City, and when Mr. Karr was at the wine-merchant's in Regent-street. His Lordship complied, and as soon as he had read the notes, The Foreman said, Mr. Sheriff, can you let us have a larger room for the night? The Sheriff said he could accommodate them, and sent them into the grand jury room. At half-past ten his Lordship sent for them to his lodgings; and, on their saying that there was no chant of their agreeing if locked up for a month, discharged them without agreeing to a verdict. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Taunton, April 3. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Baron MARTIN.) SYLVESTER V. JEFFERY. Mr. Crowder and Mr. 13ere were counsel for the plain tiff, and Mr. Butt and Mr. Stone for the defendant. This was an action brought to recover damages for the seduction of the plaintiff' daughter. The plaintiff was an elderly woman, the widow of a person who I! ad been a churchwarden and member of th e t own council of Chard. She had several children, most of wh om were married. The def endant was an innkeeper at Chard. From the evidence of the plaintiff's daughter, it appeared that she was thirty-four years of age. The defendant had sometimes walked an d talked with her, and one evening in November, 184$, they took a walk together. lie talked of th e l ove ho had for her, and then a familiarity took place between them, which was afterwards frequently repeated, until in the May follow ing the WW l = .joll4l atinie4ted to the defendant that she Witnesses were then called who stated that they had seen the plaintiff's daughter in improper positions with different persons, and they particularly named a man of the name of Harris. They had seen her several times 1 with a commercial travell e r i n th e b ar par ! our o f t h e hotel at Chard. She had shown great levity of conduct. They asserted that many circumstances had taken place which she in her cross-examination had denied. Evi dence was also adduced to show that efforts had hem made to subpoena the barmaid of the hotel, but without success. Witnesses were then called for the plaintiff in reply, Rho swore that some of the witnesses called for the de feuciant had stated that they knew nothing of the mat ter; and it was proved that Harris, who had removed to Ventnor, in the Isle of Wi ght, had been subpcsnaed, and had promised to be here in time for the trial, but had not arrived. During the summing up of the Learned Judge, Mr. CROWDER stated that Harris had just arrived, and he proposed that he should be examined now, although it was so late in the cause. Mr. STONE, for the defendant, objected to this course. Baron MARTIN said he did not think it should be done now, but he would suggest that the record should now be withdrawn, and that the cause should be tried again at the next assizes, when Harris might be exes mined. Mr. CROWDER said he could not accede to this propo sition. The Learned JUDGE then completed his summing up, and the jury, after a short consultation, returned a veg. diet for the plaintiff—Damages 601. April 4. MIIRDER.—John Wills was indicted for the wilful murder of William Wilkins, by knocking him down with a spad e , an d w h en on the ground beating him on the head with an Italian iron, giving him divers mortal wounds of which he died, at Nempnett, on the ath of February; and John Smith was charged with Biding and abetting him.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ar3 —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has keen so great, that She rates at present charged are more the result of guess tkan calculation. _ _ It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the ameunt of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against less for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will he proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Presaiam as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE; NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—Bury St. Edmunds, April 5. THE LAWSHALL MURDER.—The trial of George Came for the murder of Elizabeth Bainbridge, which has created so much interest throughout the whole of this part of the country, was brought to a close last night in the Crown Court of this assize. The Lord Chief Justice Jervis presided on the bench, and during the day, from eight o'clock in the morning, the court was most densely crowded, women, as usual, forming a large portion of the auditory. The prisoner, on being arraigned, pleaded not guilty, in a firm voice. He is a good-looking young man, and his features certainly do not indicate the ferocity of dis position requisite to commit the deed with which he was charged. He is described as 23 years of age, and was attired in a fustian coat and plaid trowsers. Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Couch were counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Power defended the accused. Many of the facts of this deliberate murder bore a strong similarity to the crime for which Thomas Drory recently suffered at Chelmsford. The unfortunate woman, Elizabeth Bainbridge, was about 30 years of age. Some nine or ten years ago she married the butler of a clergyman in the neighbourhood of Sea wardstone. Her husband had since joined the corps of Royal Sappers and Miners, and it appeared that they had not been living together for the last seven years. With her child, the result of wedlock, she went and resided with her father, who is a hard-working and respectable farmer at Lawshall, in this county. Here she conducted herself with every propriety, and it seemed she was much liked in the vicinity. The prisoner was a young agricultural labourer in the same village, and for his position might be called respectably off. It may be at once necessary to explain that the murder was committed late in the afternoon of the 20th of last January. For ten or eleven days previously the deceased had been staying with her sister, whose husband, Mr. Payne, kept the Harrow public-house at Lawshall. The prisoner had also been lodging there for about a week. They had been seen conversing together in rather an earnest strain, and it is thought, although there is no direct evidence of the fact, that he being desirous of pressing an intimacy which she indignantly rejected, led to her untimely tate. However, on the afternoon of the 20th of last January, about half-past three o'clock, she left the Harrow for the purpose of returning home to her parent's farm, proceeding across the fields as the nearest way. She had with her a bundle, and was attired in a blue cloak, dark dress, a green silk bonnet, and a vie torine round her neck. The prisoner was in the kitchen when she left, and upon her going out of the front door the back one was heard to open, and Carnt was found to have also left. The course he took was not par ticularly noticed, but as will be subsequently seen he overtook the deceased. The evening having far ad vanced, and the parents finding she did not reach home, became alarmed about her, and the father set out to Mr. Payne's, who keeps the Harrow, to learn some tidings about her. There he learned her departure, and her absence became the more mysterious. Shortly after seven o'clock Carnt returned to the Harrow, haying let himself in by the back door. Ho seemed very much agitated, and shook considerably. He had no hat on, and his clothes were wet and dirty. He stood before the kitchen fire several minutes without saying anything, and he then suddenly remarked, " The halter is for my neck." Mr. Payne said, " Nonsense; what had he been doing?" He made no reply. Mr. Payne then pro ceeded to assist him in taking off his clothes, when he begged that he might be let alone. " Let me alone," he observed; " it does not signify what becomes of me; the gallows is my doom." He was then given a glass of brandy, with a view of rousing, and preventing him catching cold. He was asked where he had been, and he prayed that he might nut be asked any questions, as the gallows was his doom. He then expressed a wish to go up stairs to bed, and his wet clothes being re moved, he was put to bed, and wrapped np in blankets by Mr. Payne and a person named Farrow. After he had retired a short time, Farrow went up to ask him how he was. Carnt replied, "No better; the halter will be my doom, for the devil has got hold of me." He then wished Farrow to give him his hand, Farrow did so, and the prisoner said, " This is the last time I ever shall see you." By this period the state of the prisoner, the admissions he had made, and the continued absence of the deceased, increased the alarm as to her fate. The village constable was consulted, and the officer being shown the prisoner's clothes and his boots, which were covered with mud, he went up to him and asked him what was the matter. He made no reply. The constable then inquired of him where Eliza beth Bainbridge was, and he continued silent. He was then told that he must consider himself in custody on suspicion of making away with deceased, and search was then made in the fields between the Harrow and the parent's farm. Being provided with lanterns, they traced the marks or footsteps of two persons, a man and woman, going as if from the Harrow, and the foot. marks of one, a man, coming back. In the heels of the latter could be plainly discerned the impression of the nails and plates, which corresponded with Carnes boots, and which were compared at the time of the search. Several meadows were traversed, and on arriving at a pond in a remote part of a pasture, some eight or nine rods from a stile, the clothes of a woman were discovered. The officer then went into the water and brought out the body of a woman, which was at once identified to be the deceased. She was quite dead and stiff. She had no bonnet on, and her hair was quite dishevelled. The gown was torn all round, nearly from the gathers. There was blood flowing from her nostrils, and there was an appearance of a severe blow on her right cheek, just under her eye. The pond was partially surrounded by thorns. About five yards from the pond was found her cloak, which was much torn, and the strings were cat. Other articles of her dress were also found in the same disordered state. After the body had been properly removed, the officer returned to the Harrow, and again went to Carnt, who was in bed. He told him that he should take him into custody for mur dering the deceased, Elizabeth Bainbridge. He made no answer. On the following morning the soil near the pond was searched, and there was distinctly traced the appearance of two persons scuffling. There was the print of a man's foot slipping into the pond, and where he fell; and on the other side of the pond were found the same marks of the man leav ing tho pond. The prisoner's shoes were compared with these marks, and they corresponded in width, length, and the toe-plates. The deceased's victorine was found, and it seemed to have been pulled over her head, the string not being untied. The pond was not more than two or three feet deep. On the body being examined by Mr. King, a surgeon, unmistakable appearances pre sented themselves that the deceased could not have de stroyed herself in the pond. This opinion was confirmed by Mr. Savage, the eminent surgeon of the county hos pital, wko, at considerable length and with much abi lity, explained the grounds for his coming fo the conclu sion that she had not committed the act herself, but that she had been forcibly detained in the water. There were marks below her elbows as if she had been pinched in being kept down. There were bruises on the chest and arms. Death had resulted from suffoca tion and drowning. A vast amount of other circum stantial evidence was adduced, amongst which it may be stated that on the afternoon of the murder the deceased and the prisoner were seen together in a field near the pond, and that in his pockets, after he returned to the Harrow, were found some trifling articles which be longed to the deceased. Mr. POWER then made a powerful appeal on behalf of the accused, and urged that if he was convicted, it ought to be upon the minor charge. The Rev. Mr. Bailey, of Lawshall, was called to give the prisoner a character. Ho said that he bore a batter character than most men in the parish. His LORDSHIP, having summed up at much length, the jury, after a brief examination, returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE then put on the black cap and proceeded to pass sentence of death on the prisoner in the usual form, holding out not the slightest hope of mercy. The convict appeared not in the least affected at his awful doom. Today Maria Clarke was'arraigned for the murder of her illegitimate child, six weeks old, by burying it alive. The particulars of this horrid act of of ha ve already appeared. The evidence was of the most con vincing character. The jury, after a short consultation, pronounced a ver dict of Guilty, and sentence of death was pronounced upon the prisoner. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, April 3. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice TALFOURD.) CuAlio& or lituAmt.—Andrew Daly and Jelin lilac farlane, soldiers of the 15th Regiment of Infantry, were indicted for the wilful murder of John Pim, at the parish of St. Thomas, in Bristol, on the 3d of May, 1849. When the prisoners were arraigned, they sent up a written communication to hi s L or d s hip, praying that as they were not defended by counsel his Lordship would be so good as to assign them counsel. His LORDSLIIP, having read the paper, stated its effect, and said he should be obliged if some gentleman of the bar would defend them—if the senior in court would un dertake the duty. The members of the bar having by their looks indi cated Mr. R. Thomas as the senior, His LORDSUIP requested that gentleman to undertake the duty, and Mr. Thomas at once compiled. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Skinner. After a long investigation, The jury found them Guilty of manslaughter. The sentence was deferred till to-morrow. (Before Mr. Sergeant ALLEN.) John Townsend, aged 24, was indicted for stabbing James Sheen, at Cheltenham, on the 9th October, with intent to maim, disable, and do grievous bodily harm. Mr. AlTrachen prosecuted; and Mr. Powell defended the prisoner. The prisoner was Acquitted. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Juries.) eIS Mr. . r Justice PATTESON and THE QUEEN V. SHELDON. Mr. Greaves and Mr. Pigott appeared for the prosecu , tion ; and Mr. Alexander, Mr. Keating, and Mr. Fallon for the defendant. This was an indictment for an assault preferred against a most respectable surgeon at Cheltenham, by a young woman, named Lydia Stryde, the daughter of a tailor in that town. At the close of the case for the prosecution, Mr. ALEXANDER addressed the jury, submitting that the entire statement of the prosecutrix was totally un worthy of credit. A great number of gentlemen of the highest respect ability from Cheltenham deposed to the defendant's most irreproachable conduct in every relation of life. When his Lordship was about to sum up, The Foreman of the jury said—We wish to save your Lordship the trouble of summing up. We have already come to our conclusion, and wish to find a verdict far the defendant, if we may in course do so, and we are desirous of adding that we do not think there is the slightest blemish on Mr. Sheldon's character. His Lour's= said with great earnestness—l en tirely agree with you. I do not believe there is a word of truth in that girl's statement, and the defendant leaves the court without the slightest imputation on his character. Verdict—Not Guilty. This termination of the case was hailed with loud ex pressions of satisfaction from all parts of the court. The following case has engaged the Court since two o'clock on Thursday : GAISFORD V. KARR, CLERK.—CHARGE OF ADULTERY Mr. Karr, anything particular towards Mrs. Gaisford. I did not observe anything on the part of Mrs. Gaisford except that she sometimes appeared very excited on the occasions of her visits to my house. Wm. Pope—Was a grocer residing at Berkeley. In 1847, during the contested election for the county, Mr. Gaisford was frequently from home conducting the elec tion. During that time saw the defendant and Mrs, Gaisford frequently tgether in the town and out of the town, Mrs. Gaisford walking and defendant riding. Alen saw the defendant during that time frequently, very frequently, at Mrs. Gaisford's. Observed when he came up the door was opened frequently without his knocitiag. Remember one Sunday Mrs. Gaisford com ing from church (while Mr. Gaisford was from home), and, going to the window, lift up the sash, throwing in her book, and going back and meeting the defendant as he came from church. They walked together to the market-place. She had in her hand a letter; they were reading it together. He was looking over the letter. In 1848 observed when plaintiff left the house defendant called—that has happened frequently. On those occa sions the door was opened sometimes without being knocked at; sometimes with being knocked at. Cross-examined—l used to serve Mr. Karr with gro ceries formerly. About nine years since he ceased to deal with me. My premises were once searched by the Excise officers, and an article that could be used in the adulteration of pepper was found there, and I paid 25/. to the Excise. The warrant was not to my knowledge signed by Mr. Karr. James King—l am a grocer at Berkeley. In 1847 and 1848 I lived in Marybrook. It was about 200 yards from the Vicarage. In those years I saw Mrs. Gaisford and Mr. Karr often together at the gate of the Vicarage close. That gate leads to Mr. Karr's stables by a pri vate way, not a public road. Saw them there many times together, sometimes by themselves, sometimes with others. There is a place called Lady Mead, about three-quarters of a mile from the Vicarage. Saw her there in March, 1848. She was alone first, walking to and fro on the road. That is a retired place. Mr. Karr came up and met her. He was on his horse. Mr. Charles Bigs—Live in Herefordshire. In the summer of 1848 met Mr. Gaisford at the Lea, about four miles from Ross. He was waiting for me there. He appeared then in the most distressed state of mind. He made a communication to me. I went the next evening to Berkeley, and went to the house of Mr. Croome. Mrs. Gaisford and Mr. Karr were there, and as I went i❑ Mrs. Gaisford and Mr. Karr were sitting near together.' I did not perceive any movement which Mr. Karr made when I went. I did not observe whether he changed his place. Heard that a water party was arranged. I was consulted about it. I advised Mr. and Mrs. Gais• ford first not to go, but was afterwards induced to con sent to the party being carried out, on the urgent solici tations of Mrs. Gaisford. The water party was to con tinue for three or four days, as circumstances miget arise. It continned only one day, as far as Mr. Gaisford was concerned, by my advice. Anne Weatcoat, in 1848, was parlour-maid to Mrs. Phelps, who is now dead. Mrs. Phelps lived in Somers place, Oxford-square, London. Mrs. Gaisford once visited her, and Mr. Gaisford twice. Mrs. Gaisford's visit was in Easter week, 1848. She came on the Tues day. On the Friday following dressed her. She went out at half-past ten or quarter to eleven, alone. She frequently after that week was over took a walk every morning after breakfast when it was fine. She went out as I was going sip stairs. She said she was going to Mr. Gaisford's friends at Hackney. She returned that night at half-past nine or a quarter to ten. It was my business to take in the letters generally. Before that visit was concluded Mr. Gaisford came to town. Re-examined—Was in the habit of undressing Mrs. Gaisford. On the Friday evening I went into her room, and offered to undress her. On that night I only un fastened her dress, as she said she would undress her self as it was late. The next morning she made a change in her linen. On the Saturday morning saw a shift in her trunk in her own bed-room. On the Mon day the other clothes were sent to the wash. The shift was not sent. By a juror —lt was put at the bottom of the box, under the other things, and as I put other things in I observed it. Charles Bryant, waiter five or :six years at Fladong's Hotel—Knew Mr. Seaton Karr. Did not know the day the wedding took place. A lady called one day from ten to twelve o'clock, and asked if Mr. Seaton Karr was within. I said I would go and inquire. I went, and faund he was in his bed-room, and told her he was at home, and showed her into No. 32 sitting room. I believed he had used it. He breakfasted gene rally. I asked the lady her name. She said, "My name is of no consequence. Mr. Seaton Karr expects a lady soon." He went soon after into the room, No. 32. No one else was there then. She was a middle-aged lady. To the best of my recollection her dress was a black or dark dress. Do not know how long she stayed. The lady came by the Oxford entrance. Several porters were employed at that time. Rate Goold, a chambermaid at Fladong'd Hotel in April, 1848, remembered a lady calling for Mr. Karr. He did not stay more than ten minutes in No. 32 with her. Hannah Crouch, a chambermaid, at Fladong's Hotel, remembered a lady calling in April, 1848, between eleven and twelve o'clock - , for Mr. Seaton Karr's room. After wards saw her at Boulogne. Heard her spoken to at Boulogne as Mrs. Gaisfurd, and she answered to that name. Thomas Joyce, another waiter at Fladong's, corro borated the previous witnesses. David Brooke—Was painting Fladong's Hotel in April, 1848. Remembered the wedding. The next day saw a lady in the passage, and was so struck with her figure and appearance. She had very large fine teeth in front. Had on a black velvet dress, a large Paisley shawl, and a piece of red ribbon round her neck. She picked up her clothes as she came out of the door and crossed the road to the other side. She ran into a shop next door to a public-house. She was very much agi tated at the time. She ran out again as if she was mis taken, and then went into a carver and gilder's shop. That was Mr. Nurse's shop. Mr. Karr called out di rectly, before she hardly got into Nurse's. He went round into Henrietta-street. She was on the right-hand side, and he on the left-hand side. She was on the side opposite to Nurse's shop. When he passed opposite Nurse's he looked across. The lady came to the door, and they recognised each other. She then went round Henrietta-street. Saw him again in five minutes. He came up. A cab followed him. The cab stopped at the end of Old Cavendish-street with the head of the horse towards Cavendish-square. The lady came oat of the shop. Mr. S. Karr handed her into a cab, and they drove off. He got in with her. On Sunday, the 23d of December, 1849, was in Stanhope-street, Bath, in a house opposite to No. 24. About church time I saw the front door of No. 24 open, and three ladies coming out, and I said at once to Miss Hall, who was in the room, " That is the lady I saw at Fladong's Hotel." She said, "That is Mrs. Gaisford." Have been since to Berkeley, and saw Mr. Karr on horseback. Henry Bishop, a painter and glazier, swore to having seen a lady at Fladong's with a black dress and white straw bonnet; age between thirty and forty. Noticed her coming out. Corroborated Brooks as to what the lady and gentleman did in Cavennish-street. David Molland, a painter, also corroborated. George Collins—l am a cab-driver. Live at No. 7, Queen's-place, Westminster. In the spring of 1848, drove an orange-coloured cab, and a brown horse. Remember being on the Oxford-street stand on a morning in April, about half-past ten, or a quarter to eleven. A gentleman came up to me about five mi• nutes past eleven and hailed me, and ordered me to drive up to Old Cavendish-street. A lady and gentle man got into the cab. Did not see the lady before she got in. Was directed to drive into the City. As I was going through Holles-street the gentlemen desired me to drive to the first best glove-shop. Drove to a shop nearly opposite the Pantheon. There is a golden lamb in each window. They went into the shop, and returned in a few minutes and drove into the City to the end of the Poultry. The lady brought white kid gloves out of the shop, and I drove through new Oxford-street and down Museum -street, New Oxford-street. It was not quite finished. As I was going through New Oxford-street I thought I heard something fall in the cab. I drove them into the Poultry, and there let them out, and watched them some distance beyond the European public-house, and saw the gentleman call another cab—an old one. They got in and drove away. It was about twenty minutes to twelve o'clock when they got out of mycab. Was on the Oxford-street stand the next day, and saw the same gentleman again. He called me, and I was going to pull up to him, and he said " No," but desired 13e. me to get off my box and come to him. He said, I lieve you aro the young man who took me „ into the e City." I looked and said, " Oh, yes, I am, and put his hand in his where eet you u d d g .r a o v v e ,e, me a lady and gen -25., and said, "You need not say Ter say any l l ne saw that - den:tau the day before;" and I said, ,, thing to anybody, but does my work. Ile was Mr. Barr. gen tleman in a garden at Berkeley. did not ace his face, but I could swear Boulogne, him by his walk and swing of the arms. I went to __ and saw the lady there. I asked her was she Mrs. Gaisford? She said "Yes." I said, I beg your pardon, ma d am. " Cross-examined—Did not notice whether the lady's bonnet was crushed or crumpled. She was too sharp. She went into the glove -shop too quick. Witness —Oh, I hg yes; w hen she got out in th e Ci ty. The tht you saw this after the glove-shop? lower part of her gown was crumpled. Could not see whether she had drawers on. If she had long drawers on I would have seen them. The gentleman was sitting down on the front seat. George Salmon, a cabman—Was about t we l ve o ' c l oc k on Friday in Easter week, 1848, near the Mansion House, opposite to the European Coffee-house, when a waterman told me there was a fare for me. I looked and saw a gentleman near the coffee-ho use d oor. The gentleman banded the lady in. The lady's d ress was , I t h oug h t , very gay for that time of y ear .

Ob served nothing particular in her manner. Drove them first into Bishopsgate-street, and when I got there the gentleman got out at a brash shop, went into the shop, and returned, and then ordered me to drive straight on.

ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL is justly 5.1 renowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues, in nourishing, preserving, and beautifying the human hair. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active; so that, in numerous instances wherein other remedies have been tried in vain, ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL has superseded the ornaments of art, by effecting a complete restoration of beautiful hair. In the growth of whiskers, eyebrows, and mustachios, it is also unfailing in its stimulative operation. For children it Is especially recom mended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use of the fine comb unnecessary. Price 3g. 6d. and 7s. ; or family bottles (equal to four small) at 10s. 6d.; and double that size, 21s.

THE WARRING TOIV IWRDER. CONFESSION OF PATRICK LYONS. The prisoners are Roman Catholics, and since their condemnation to death the Rev. J. H. Marshall has at tended them as their spiritual instructor. The male prisoner is anxious to have the attendance of a priest who is able to hear his confession in the Irish language. Both prisoners have since their return to Kirkdale made a statement which they desired should be given to the public. Patrick Ly ons ac k now l e d ges hi s own guilt t bot exculpates his wife from any participation in the crime. He was not instigated by jealousy; his object was to gel possession of the money which Margaret Fahey had on her person ; but after the dreadful deed had been com mitted his spirit failed him, and he had not the courage to steal the purse from the dead body of his victim. He says his wife had no knowledge of his intention le commit the murder. Two or three days priP vious he asked his wife whether, if he were to kill Margaret Fahey, she would help him ? His wife told him to " bless himself, and not let such an idea enter his head." She appeared to think little of the re mark, as if she considered him too good-natured to con template seriously such an act. He states that on the morning of the murder he hesitated a long time, strug gling with the temptation; that on Margaret Fahey coming down stairs h e s t ruc k th e bl ow w ith t h e butcher's cleaver himself; that his wife rushed upon him and gave him a strong push away; that he then threatened to do the same to his wife, upon which she ran up stairs. This statement coincides exactly with that made by ehe female prisoner on the day of the trial. There has been no communication between the prisoners since their con demnation; but the account given by each agrees so ac curately in the most minute details, that the reverend gentleman to whom the disclosures have been made has no doubt whatever of their truth. Acting upon this belief, a representation of the facts of the case, with the statements of the prisoners, was on Thursday forwarded to Sir George Grey, in the hope of inducing the Home Secretary to recommend to her Majesty, as respects the wife, a commutation of the sentence of death.—Man chester Courier.

Mr. Whateley, Mr. Skinner, and Mr. Cooke appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. Keating, Mr. Sergeant Allen, and Mr. Grey for the defendant. Mr. COOKE having opened the pleadings, Mr. WHATELEY stated the case. The plaintiff, he said, was an attorney and solicitor at Berkeley, in this county, and had practised there since 1835, and the defendant was the vicar of that town. Mrs. Gaisford was the daughter of a Mr. Ulph, a respectable timber merchant at Lowestoft, in Suffolk, and had been adopted from infancy by the family of the late Rev. John Amyas, rector of Theustead, in that county. In 1835 the plain tiff was introduced to Miss Ulph, and married her in the September of that year. They lived most happily for several years. They had four children—all sons. Un luckily for their peace and happiness, the plaintiff was employed by the defendant, in 1840, to collect his tithes and manage his professional business. This led to an acquaintance and intimacy, which resulted in the ruin of the plaintiff's happiness, and the blighting of all his fondest hopes. The Learned Gentleman proceeded to draw, in a very eloquent and affecting address, an out line of the various circumstances, which will be found detailed in the following evidence:— William Gaisford, father of the plaintiff, residing at Worton, near Devizes, in Wiltshire. The plaintiff went to reside and practise at Berkeley, in 1835, and in Sep tember of that year was married to Miss Elizabeth Ulph, who had been brought up from infancy by the Misses Amyas. Objected very much to the marriage, as plain tiff was very young, and she had no property. He was then only 24. Miss Elizabeth Amyas was daughter of the late Rev. J. Amyas, rector of Theustead, in Suffolk. After the marriage had frequently visited them at Berkeley. Till 1846 they lived very happy. Mr. Karr became vicar in 1839. Remember in 1844 a carpet was to be worked for him. She was to work the centre. Was on a visit at Mr. Gaisford's in 1849, in the spring. Observed some thing that attracted my attention—it was at the archery meeting held in Mr. Gaisford's field. Did not think Mr. Karr behaved as ho should have done to a married woman. When she went to pick up her arrows I observed him to take her hand as they were stooping. Observed that more than once. Noticed nothing in his conduct towards her but one evening—he took her hand and sat very close to her. This was at Mr. Gaisford's. We were seated at supper. Mrs. Gaisford sat at the head of the table during supper. Mr. Karr was sitting at Mrs. Gaisford's right hand. After supper they altered their places—he got closer to her at the corner of the table, and she moved her chair nearer to him. It was then I observed lie was holding her hand under the table. I said to Mrs. Gaisford, " Move your chair to your own place." I saw Mr. Gaisford, who had been seated at the foot of the table, get up and go to the closet, and return by the back of the chair. When he returned to his seat I saw him stoop and look under the table for a newspaper. He dropped the newspaper, and then picked it up. Mr. Karr did not remain long after Mr. Gaisford looked under the tables. He went away soon after. Mrs. Gais ford did not come back to her former place when I spoke to her. I was present at four or five archery meetings, and Mr. Karr and Mrs. Gaisford were present at those. After the supper party, when I saw the hand, Mr. Karr was never admitted to see her alone. When Mr. Gais ford was at home and Mr. Karr called Mr. Gaisford came into the room, and when he was not at home I went in. Soon after the supper party Mr. Karr one day went through to go into the office. Mr. and Mrs. Gais ford met him in the hall, and he gave her the bowstring. Mr. Karr had called at the window two or three times that day. I had spoken to Mr. Gaisford between Mr. Karr's visits and his bringing the bowstring. In the course of that day Mrs. Gaisford and Miss Hazeland were in the room when Mr. Karr called. When Mr, Karr went away I observed nothing in Mr. Gaisford's manner. The next day he made an inquiry of me; he looked very ill. Never before that had spoken to him about what I had seen. It made him very unhappy. The next morning the Linton water-party was to come off and Mr. Karr came to the door. Mrs. Gaisford was seeing the and sh e went an d spo k e t o thingsh im i n in u n and went to the water-side. very _ to hall, n , Mr. Gaisford was very ill. They left me for a three days' journey. Mr. Gaisford went with them. They came back that evening —the same day they went. The next morning saw Mr. Bigs, Mr. Gaisford, and Mrs. Gaisford together. Learned that morning of Mrs. Gaisford's going from home. She went the next morn. ing with Mr. Gaisford. They were gone about a week and returned together. After Mr. Gaisford was gone, heard something that a groom had done. Saw Mr. Karr pass by. I called him and said, " You have received a note this morning from Mrs. Gaisford, give up the letter the groom has given you." Ho said he had had no letter. I said, " You have had a letter." He said he had not, and if he had he had thrown it into the fire or under the table. I told him I should call on the groom, and then, at last, he said he had had it. I begged of him to give it to me or send it to Mr. Gaisford. He laughed. I told him he did not act like a clergyman and ought to be ashamed of himself, and was a disgrace to his cloth. lie only laughed amid asked for the children to go out to fish. I told him he ought to be very careful, for Mr. Gaisford was not a man to submit. He said nothing to that. Was not at Berkeley in 1847. At the interview which I had with Mr. Karr he said he received a number of letters from young ladies, and they were of no consequence, and he threw them into the fire. Remember finding five pair of white satin shoes in her wardrobe, at Berkeley, in 1848. Saw a note written by Mr. Gaisford to Mr. Karr, with the shoes, in which he said he returned five pair of shoes, which he understood he had made a present of to Mrs. Gaisford, as he could not allow her to accept a present from him or to hold communication with him. (The an swer was then admitted to be to the effect requiring the plaintiff to send in his accounts, and declining to allow him to continue his agent.) After Mrs. Gaisford re turned from London, in 1848, her cond u ct was different from what it was before. She had been very lively and talkative before, and she was then very silent. She was very kind to her children, very quiet towards her hus band. She left on the 10th of June. What I mean by saying that Mrs. Gaisford was very quiet, was that she seldom spoke to him. Mr. Gaisford left on the 9th of June. Mrs. Gaisford left on the next day. She was a lady with prominent teeth. She was very handsome. On the morning of the 10th received a letter from Mr. Gaisford; read it to Mrs. Gaisford, and soon after she left home. She went to Bath to my sister, Miss Francis Amyas, and has remained with her since. Eliza Perry—Am housemaid to Mr. Gaisford, and have been so for six years. When Mr. Gaisford was in the habit of walking out in the afternoon, remembers Mrs. Gaisford once sending us all —me, the cook, the nurse, and the childrou out. It was now six o'clock, aid the Court adjourned. April 4. The case was resumed this morning at nine o'clock. Mr. George Hicks, solicitor at Berkeley, remembered Mr. Gaisford's coming to Berkeley. He and Mrs. Gaisford were visited by the respectable people of Berkeley. The vicarage house is immediately opposite to my house. Mr. and Mrs. Gaisford and Mr. Karr were on intimate terms up to 1846. About 1845 and 1846 Mrs. Gaisford appeared to take a great interest in Mr. Karr and his affairs. At the time of the general election Mr. Gaisford was much from home. Miss Hicks, my sister, lived with me. She and Mrs. Gaisford were about that time on very intimate terms —more intimate than before. When Mrs. Gaisford came to visit my sister, Mr. Karr came over several times. She used to call often on my sister.
