FRANCE. As well as the sentiments o Orleanists and Legiti mati.q. can ba gathered, they will combine against Louis napoleon. They will, for the sake of retaining ponullr ioflaence, agree to an enlargement of the and for the sake of union amongst them ' - .lgree upon the name of a candidate for the fley. The Orleauists, although they withdraw ce of the Prince de Joinville, will yet keep it 1 .1 • pent as a salutary menace to all parties, the Laatists included. The Republican journals are very -ingry at the decree which declares the two de part,nents of the Cher and the Nievre to be in a state of siege, while those of the party of order highly approve of it. G-neral Rapatel has published a farewell address t, m.iet 2d Legion of the National Guard, on his re the command, in consequence of the state of We read in the Moniteur Parisien— _ . " A change of Ministry is again talked of at Turin. The•serious and still pending question between the Holy S N and the Piedmontese Government more and more embarrasses the present Gibinet. The Ring has decided to make an effnq to obtain from the Pope the sanction of meAsures which h ave b een a d opt A in spite of th© Con cordat, and for this purpo,e hal fixed on the Marquis Spioola for the R.man embassy; but it appears that the mission of the Noble Marquis hag b-en postponed, and that-it will be the Ch2vati<yr SAmbuy who will go to prepare the means of an arrangement which is anxiously desired by every one." It will be remembered that the advocates, in the case of the Lyons. 'plot, which was tried by court martial in that cAty, refused, when the evidence was completed, to I ..ieTe.nd the accused. The Minister of Justice ordered. the Procureurs-General of the bars, which these. -advocates belonged to, to lay complaints against tlr,ern before the respective Councils of Disci pline. tr. consequence of this the Council of the Order of Lyons suspended the advocates belonging to that bar for a month ; and th e C ounc il o f t h e O r d er of 13 o urges has just suspended M.

An attempt at assassination was made on the even ing of the 19th, in the forest near Frankfort, on the person of M. l'Euhavin Dr. de Heyden. He was taking a walk is the forest, on the Schwanheim side, when suddenly some person concealed behind a bu.h fired at him, and wounded him in the arms and hand, and also in the body. A surgeon was furtwith sum nyme4 to the assistance of the wounded burgomaster, who, on arrival, examined the wounds, and found them more or less serious, but none of them, it is thottght, very dangerous. After the wounds were dressed M. de Heyden was carried into the town. The police are in search of the would•be assassin. The uttack caused great sensation in the Senate and city. The Voss Gazette, under date of Cracow, lith, says :—" During tha residence of the Emperor at Wi. , , , tt,zka, the vast salt mines presented an appear ance really magical. Thousands of torches illumi nated,the blocks and the pillars of salt. The Empe ror has allowed one of the mines to take the name of Francois Joseph. In one of the subterranean vaults the Emperor was received by a wedding party of peasants, who were dancing the Cracovienne and the Nlazourka and singing songs. The bride presented his Majesty with a nosegay of flowers, and a party of young girls scattered flowers before him as he walked. Between Wieliezka and 13,)chnia the in habitants of the village of Adow took the horses out oi the Emperor's carriage and drew it fora quarter of an hour."

The Weser Gazette has received a telegraphic communication from Hamburgh, dated the 20th inst., stating that the Ministerial crisis had terminated. The. Minister DE REETZ, CHARLES MOLKE, a►nd SIDI GER leave the Cabinet. These Ministers belonged to the united Monarchy party. The Privy Councillor BLUME has taken ad interim the ()face of Foreign Affairs, and General FLENiBURG that of War. The Hamburger Nachrichten says that it is autho rlsectlinsitively to contradict the report that proposals have been made to the Duke of AUGUST ENBURG to al low him a yearly income of 80,000 dollars as an in demnity for his renunciation of the Danish Throne; no such proposal has been made, and if made would certainly be rejected. It is expected that the new Ca binet• will present its programme to the Chamber next Week. Toe two most important questions will ba tb.Schleswig.Holstein question and that of the succession.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT LEITH-ME- LANCHOLY LOSS OF LIFE. On Wednesday night one of the mo-t di-astrous conflagrations occurred with which Leith has for a long time been visited—not only involving tbe de struction of a large amount of valuable household pro perty, but attended, we regret to say, with the death of one unfortunate individual while engaged in the re mnval of some furniture. scene of the diaster is an extensive range 01 bulilings near to the south side of the docks, forming the Corner composed by the junction of Coburg and Dock-street. Four or five stories in height, and com.lratively of but recent erection, they were occu pied by the families of a large number of respectable tradesmen and workpeople ; while the ground-floor was aototed to shops, of which the two principal were the spirit cellar of Mr. Drpdale, and the pre `46c- of Messrs. Pole and Paterson, provision mer- chants The filmes were first discovered about seven o'clock In the evening, when they where seen issuing with eg considerable violence from a small apartment in the second floor from the top, occupied by a woman who resided alone—a widow, we believe. As yet the origin of the fire remains a mystery to be ascertained dur ing the investigations by the proper authorities ; but it is conjectured with a considerable degree of plausibility that some clothes hanging before the fire must have accidentally come in contact with the flames and ig nited the floor. However that may be, certain it is that the confl :gration soon assumed a most formidable appearance. and on the arrival of the Leith fire-en trines and brigade, assisted by one from the Artillery Fort, the work of subjection by no means appeared to be a task of easy acc nnplistiment. M first, indeed, the flames were solely confined to th e fluo r in which they first made their appearance, and the fireme n having, under the judicious directions o.f.6up”intendent Grant, concentrated their efforts on tp , rtion of the premises, thrir further progress was under a delu g e of water—of which, by the way, there was happily a most abundant supply—speedily stayed. No sooner, however, wAs this effected than they burst forth with redo u bl ed energy in the roof • while still smouldering l ower d own, they there re-appeared' with almost equal violence. By this time the alarm had spread throughout the whole quarter, and guided by the lurid glare of the flames illuminatin g all around, a considerable mob of people had assembled. The ge neral excitement was added to by the confusion which prevoiled, and with the usual disposition to exaggerate the d ange r, the various tenants proceeded about the removal of their household articles in the most hurried and distracted manner. Mean while the fl ames in creased in intensity ; but, through thmeenwetlhlsdirected and continued exertions of the fire confined to the roof, and higher portions o ' f theeywere build ing ; and, u l t i mate ly, by about el even o'clock, they were so far subdued that all further apprehensions were allayed. Long before this, however, the whole of the pre tuisea had assumed as dismantled and ruinous an ap lin"rrr,c,7 as Could well be imagined. T he roof bad places been consum ed. The floors of the uPP'T stories wercovered with rubbish, e of the almost wholly destroyed and vre m i s , s, c. ish, while the lower portions (~tiroycle t; had of course Quarters of their furniture, b deluged in alleewnerepreviously water which fell in by the constant stream of in nlecession. e t n ia P e i° ll ily through every floor cry was raised that midst of the operations a in the earliea titan was missing. He had been busy wr Part of the night in removing his t•areiture, and no his unaccountable disappear ance was first noticed by w d b i rA, nh w a i b th ite t ii hr h e y e chil',lcon, had with the reastAwntitfeeen i&rehtehnsive of what, the', naforeseen calatnity, e t_e•eesult, tw o gas! was soon verified to fi:emen were disp etched through s9;irch of a n d after mak h in building trance into the room he occupied, theg fortunate min was discover e d i n a bed-closet, wilinth life entirely extinct. He had a Germa n clock in one hand, and had evidently been making his return from what, judging from the desolate appearance of the room, might have been his last visit, when overcome by the smoke, he speedily fell a victim to the stifling a PZ"c3rs The attendance of two surgeons was pro ctored without delay. The body was caret ully removed to a saf e r Fart of the premises (where it remained during the rest of the night, his wife being still kept in THE STJ ignorance of the occurrence), but all efforts to restore animation proved unavailing. He was named Watson, was a man of about 40 years of age, and was em ployed in connexion with the engine at the sugar works in the vicinity. The room in which he was discovered did not seem to be much devastated by the flames, and it had been entered by some of the fire men in the course of their ordinary operations previ ously ; but the fact of his having been overpowered in the bed closet prevented his being discovered till too • late. Several of the people who have sustained any loss from the destruction of furniture, &c., were insured, but most of them, we believe, were not, and are more -1 over of a class little able to bear it. The building is principally owned by Mr. Hampton, cooper in Leith, and most unfortunately for him his insurance expired only a few days ago, and has not since been renewed. The damage to house and property is altogether estimated at little under I,oool.—Caledonian Mercury. BANK OF ENGLAND.

THE COIIET.-MARTIAL ON LIEUT• ONSLOW, R.M.— The court-martial on First Lieutenant Oaalow, R. M., concluded on Wednesday. The charge was, that the said First-Lieutenant Onslow was drunk at guard mounting on the morning of Sept. 25, 1851, when officer of the barrack guard, of which duty he hid been previously warned. Lieut.-Colonel Waring, First-Lieut. and Adjutant Forbes, and Captain Leveson, of the same corps, were examined in support of the charge, and nine non-commissioned officers for the defence, in addition to Captains Fosbroke, Searle, and Lewis, who spoke to character. The examinations have been of the most lengthy and tedious character. The defence set up was that the prisoner had, on the morning of the 45th September, suffered severely from illness, from which the appearances that led to his being placed under arrest resulted. The clearness of the evidence on this point, and the very high cha racter given the prisoner, it is presumed, cannot fail to lead to his acquittal. Mr. Henry Elworthy, solicitor, of Stonehouse, acted as professional adviser to Lieut. On slow. Lieutenant Selby Lilburn (1845) died at Pem broke Dock, October 8.

IN RE BONNET. The bankrupt, Dumas Bonnet, was a wine mer chant in Mark-lane. The balance-sheet, from Feb ruary, 1848 to August, 1851, shows the following : Creditors, 2 587/ ; liabilities, 451/. ; creditors holding security, 1,099/. ; profits, 838/. ; capital, 891. ; debtors good, 4/. ; doubtful, 65/. ; property, 11/. ; ditto in hands of creditors, 2,3171.; trade expenses, 959/. ; personal, 5371 ; losses, 5811. Mr. Lucas, for the assignees, asked for an adjourn ment to test the accuracy of the balance-sheet, by comparing it with the books. Mr. Lewskr4cE, for the bankrupt, did not object. Adjournment accordingly. IN RE BRITDENELL. The bankrupt was described as a brewer, at Windsor. This was a last examination meeting, which was further adjourned, on the application of Mr. Linklater, for the production of a witness, who was a roasting cook to her Majesty, and who, Mr. Linklater said, was now attending to his duties at Windsor. IN RE VALENTINE. The bankrupt, JAL] Valentine, teadealer, North ampton, came up to pass his last examination. The accounts show the following :—Creditors, 1,0781.; capital, 1501 ; profits, 675/. ; debtors, 630/. ; pro perty, 182/. ; losses, 3061. ; expenses, 7771. Mr. Carr was for the assignees, and Mr. Heath for the bankrupt. The bankrupt, upon being examined by Mr. Carr, said he entered moneys received generally in his cash-book. He had occasion in 1838 and 1839 to borrow money; that money was not mentioned in his cash-bouk. In March, 1848, he borrowed 2001. of Mr. Trounce. This was not entered. He was not now a creditor. The last payment was made in August of this year. The payment to Mr. Trounce did not appear in the books. Mr. Trounce had threatened him with proceedings. No proceedings were commenced. The money was raised to pay this gentleman by the sales of teas, and he had one sale by auction, which realised 421. This was not entered in his cash•book. 401. were paid to Mr. Trounce. Other creditors were pressing him at this time—to one of them he bad paid V. This was entered. There had been two seizures of tea by the Excise. Mr. CARR submitted that it was impossible the bankrupt could pass his examination upon the present balance•sheet. It was also necessary that Mr. Trounce should be in attendance to explain the trans action gone into. A cash account and stock account were also wanted. Mr. HEATH contended that the bankrupt ought to pass, as all the transactions were on the books, the seizures, and also the sales of teas. His HONOUR ordered an adjournment for a fort night. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Freiherr Von Foster, the young foreigner who de scribed himself as the Knight of Starkenburg and Adjutant of the Ist Regiment of Prussian Dragoons, and who also has ben charged at this court with stealing three 20/, notes, the property of Mr. Jour • des, and one 10/.-note and one 61.- note, the property of Mr. Prevost, of Ghent, from the York Hotel, New ridge-street, Blackfriars, was again placed at the bar before Alderman Salomons fur final examination relative to that charge. Mr. Wood appeared for the prosecution. A soli citor also attended for the prisoner. meStrecr,pgoelaintatn policeo fWeale,2re s . a 2 id , —on the the R I d a i s y t isionofthe examina tion I received instructions from the alderman to see that Mr. Jourdan wss in attendance, and, accord ingly, having received sufficient funds from Mr. Quartermaine for that purpose, I left London for Germany on Saturday last ; and in due time arrived in Bremen, where I found Mr. Jourdan. I commu nicated to him that his presence was required at this court, and he accompanied me back and is now pre sent. I have received additional information that, be sides the robberies on Sir George Wombwell at Li verpool and Lord Edward Russell at Portsmouth, the prisoner has been identified as having robbed one of the Margate hotels to the amount of about 401. Wilhelm Peter Jourdan said—l am a native of the Duchy of Oldenburg. I am a merchant, and generally carry on business at Bathurst, on the river Gambia, where I am about shortly to return. I was in London in September last, staying at the York Hotel, Black friars. I have been engaged on the coast of Africa in the suppression of the slave trade, and it was in consequence of the loss of a vessel that I returned to England to obtain the insurance from the under writers at Lloyd's. I received on the 26th of Sep tember, a cheque, drawn by Messrs. W. B. Hutton and Sons, of Watling-street, on Glyn's bank, for 124/. 2e. 101. I cashed it at Glyn's, and received in change six 201. notes, and the remainder in gold and silver. I went straight to the York Hotel in a cab, and on the way I looked at the notes and noticed the numbers of them. I only made a memorandum of the lowest number, which was 24,769; the remaining five were consecutive numbers. I saw the prisoner on the evening of the following day (Saturday, Sept. 27) at the Argyll Rooms, when he entered into conversa tion with me. He said he was in the military service, and also a native of Baden, and came to this country to see the Great Exhibition. Hs asked me how long I had been here, to which I replied only a few days. He then asked me how long I intended to stay; 1 told him I was going back to Germany on the Sunday even ing. He reinimiled me that we were lodging at the same hotel. I remarked that he did not rise very early, as I had seen him taking his breakfast in the afternoon. He said he would he up very early on the following morning, as he wanted to sp-ak to me in my room. I informed him it would be useless to come to my room at all, as I should not go home that night to the hotel. He said he slept very near my room, and that the number was 14. From some observation he made I was induced to tell him that my room was No. 17. Prisoner left the Argyll Rooms about 11 or 12 o'clock ; I returned to the hotel about 7 o'clock ou Sunday morning, and I noticed that my clothes had been dis turbed in my absence, but did not suspect that any thing was wrong. I lay down on the bed for a few hours, and when I awoke I opened my portmanteau to take the numbers of all the notes, as I was about to take them to Germany. I found two of the six notes were gone, and one of another lot that I had placed in my portmanteau previously. The two highest numbers (24,773 and 24 774) were missing. I met prisoner on the stairs as I was going to my room, and he said he was going to a chymist's to get some medi cine. I heard no more of the notes until I received a letter from Mr. Quartermaine, and Sergeant Neale fetched me from Bremen. The notes were all en closed in a large envelope. I had more money in my trunk in notes and cash. I did not tell the prisoner that I had money in it, or how much. I did not take the notes with me when I was out all night. William Thomas, cashier at Glyn's bank, pro duced the cheque alluded to by the last witness, and identified the numbers of the notes it was paid with. George Willis, a grocer of Armley, near Leeds, said—l was in London on the 28th of September last, and was staying at Anderton's Hotel. Prisoner came in early iu the morning and called for breakfast. I saw him give the waiter a 201. note, which I cashed for him. I gave the waiter the change, and saw him giv' it to the prisoner. I afterwards passed the note to Mr. J. C. Quick, of Fenchurch•street. Mr. Thomas Reek, the head clerk in Mr. Quick's employ, proved the payment of the note to him, and by him again into Williams and Deacons' bank. Richard Adye Bailey, a clerk in the accountant's office of the Bank of England, produced the note in question, and further stated that the other missing notes had been stopped, but had not been received at the Bank yet. Mr. Wood here submitted that the case was now as complete as it was possible to carry it. One of the stolen notes had been found, and traced into the pri soner's possession ; and, though only one case was legally made out, yet there were -numberless others in which the witnesses were dispersed all over the country, or gone abroad, so that the expense of bring ing them together would be so immense that the par ties most interested were unwilling to prosecute on their own responsibility. Alderman SALOMONS said he believed that the pre sent case against the prisoner would be found strong enough to obtain a conviction, and he would there fore send the prisoner for trial. If he was fortunate enough to get acquitted, the other persons would 'B4ll have the option of charging him on any of the other cases. The nature of the evidence was then communicated to the prisoner by means of an interpreter, and he was fully committed for trial. Mr. Wood then applied for a certificate of expenses of the attendance of witnesses and bringing them from abroad and the country, which was granted. BOW-STREET. Jean Zanozzi, an Italian, was charged with caus ing serious damage under the following circum stances : len . the prisonei Mr. Charles Bowen, a brassi:ounder, residing at say " lie would well serve anybody out who 62, Red Lion street, Clerk enwe 11 , state d t h a t h e h a d i n t er f ere d w i t h hi m. " After the mother called out occasion to call on a eustomet• at twelve o'clock in and told me her child was dead I went to the land- Duke-street, Adelphi, and, as he approached the lady and informed her of what had occurred, and told house in his gig at a mod era t e pace , acc ompanied by her I should fetch the police. She advised me to a boy in his service, observing the prisoner grinding apply to the inspector on duty at the station, which at a large barrel-organ placed on a truck, which could 1. immediately did. be heard in the several s t ree t s a dj acen t, he requested Mr. BRODERIP—Do you know anything about the be would desist until he p ass ed, of which he took no general usage of the child ? Witness—lt has been notice, but continued caus i ng suc h a noise as was suf- most shamefully ill-treated during the time they have ficient to frighten! any horse within hearing. O n l odged in the house, which is about three weeks. It arriving at the door, he got out, handing the reins has been smacked and beaten with that degree of vio to the lad, and, bef o re he had time to enter the house, lence that you might have heard the blows from one the horse, which h a d bee n in his possession two years, end of the court to the other, or a considerable dis and was remarkably quiet, flew off at a rapid rate, and, tance off. You might also plainly hear its being coming ia contact w ith a lamp-post at the corner of thrown on the ground. I gave information to the the street, the boy was dashed violently to the oppo• I landlady about this ill-treatment. EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 1851. site side, and the vehicle being upset by the concus sion, it was broken to pieces, and c iuld not be re paired at a cost of less than 201. While he was en deavouring to extricate the animal from the harness, the prisoner moved away with his instrument, and his assistant made his escape. Being aware that such a person as the prisoner was not in a positio❑ to be able to compensate him for the damage he had sustained, he considered he was justified in giving him in charge on public grounds, in the hope that a remedy would be afforded for the removal of a nuisance:calculated to endanger the lives of persons having the management of horses in the public thoroughfares. Wm. Drinkwater, the lad, said he heard his master call out to the prisoner before he came up to where the organ was placed. There was nothing else in the street by which the horse could be frightened, and it ran away at such a rate he was unable to hold the reins. _ _ _ The prisoner denied that any person desired he would cease playing, and although he had been em ployed in the same manner six years about the streets, no complaint had been ever before made against him. Mr. HENRY said it was most fortunate the boy had sustained no greater injury than the fright occasioned by the fall, and the prisoner should pay a penalty of 40s. for the public offence, in addition to 101. for the damage, being the highest sum allowed by law, in de fault of which he should be committed to prison for one month. A young man named James Brookes was charged with being concerned with another, not in custody, in steeling a valuable Norwegian terrier. Mr. C. Short, residing in Cleveland-row, St. James's-street, stated that on Friday morning the female members of his family took a walk in the Green Park, followed by his dog, which they missed on their return home, and having advertised his loss, he men tioned that a liberal reward would be given to any person by whom it was restored. The next day the prisoner called upon him to say that he could have his property speedily brought back upon the small pay ment of 21. 10i., to which he agreed, and after some further conversation upon the subject it was arranged that they should meet at the Nag's .head public-house, in Holborn, to bring the negotiation to a conclusion ; but witness having purposely broken his promise, in order to give information to the police, the prisoner paid him a second visit, in consequence of which he deposited the reward in the hands of the landlord, another man being present with the prisoner, and Sergeant Thompson, F, being on the alert, the prisoner fell into the trap. The prisoner said he had only been hired for half a crown to carry the dog to the place appointed, and happened to be present when the money was de posited. Mr. HENRY said it was quite evident the prisoner was one of a gang who got their living by stealing dogs in the streets belonging to families likely to offer handsome rewards for their recovery ; and, as a whole some check should be applied to meet such a daring offence, he should order that the prisoner be committed to hard labour for six months, and also that the active part taken by the landlord in the transaction should be mentioned to the magistrates when he next applied for a renewal of his licence. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Edward Foy was brought up for final examination, charged with having committed aggravated assaults on two persons. George B aid, 32, George-street, Foley-place, was at the Swan public-house. George-street, on the 16th instant, about twelve o'clock. The prisoner was asleep, and apparently not sober. Suddenly the pri soner woke up, and staring about him in a savage manner, said to a person of the name of Smith, who was in the room, " You —, I'll bite off your cheek." To another man he said, " I'll bite off your nose ;" and to a third he said, " You —, I'll cut out your liver." The prisoner had a knife in his hand at the time. The prisoner immediately fastened with his teeth on the cheek of Smith, and then attacked the third man with his knife. Ralph Levy, general dealer, Ann's-place, said while eating his bread and cheese in the public-house he missed his knife from his plate. He heard the priso ner threaten to bite off the cheek of one man, to bite the nose of a second man, and to cut out his liver. As the prisoner was a stranger, witness took no no tice of him. Hearing a cry he turned round and saw the prisoner loosening his teeth from Smith's cheek, and immediately afterwards the prisoner rushed upon him with a knife, making a stab at his heart. Wit ness stopped the blow with his hand, and his fingers were cut to the bone in the effort he made to protect himself. The prisoner made another stab at him, and witness ran to the fireplace, and, taking up a poker, struck the prisoner as he was coming again at him over the arm with force sufficient to break the poker. The prisoner immediately changed the knife into the other hand, and pursued witness about the room. Witness succeeded in striking the knife from the prisoner's hand, and, then closing with him, held him until the prisoner was eventually secured. William Smith said he was in the public-house at the time the prisoner woke up. The prisoner stared about like a madman, and then threatened him and others. The prisoner seized him with his teeth, but did not bite the piece out. He only made a sort of a hole. Witness was too much alarmed to notice what else occurred. The prisoner reserved his defence. The prisoner was then ordered to stand committed to the sessions under the new Act which has recently come into operation, the 14th and 15th of Victoria, c. 19, which imposes an imprisonment not exceeding three years for the offence of wounding under certain circumstances, doing away with the old law, which subjected an offender to fifteen years' transportation. The prisoner having applied to be admitted to bail, Mr. BINGHAM fixed the bail at two sureties of 1001. each and the prisoner's own surety in 2001. The prisoner said this was very heavy bail for a poor man. Mr. BINGHAM said he purposely intended the bail to be very heavy. He considered the prisoner was a dangerous man to be at large, as there was no saying when he might not be seiz-d with another fit such as the one which had brought him into his present posi tion. Reuben Seabrook and John Smith, persons in the dress of gentlemen, believed to have assumed ficti tious names, were committed for trial for indecent practices in Hyde-park on Thursday. WESTMINSTER. William Glenister, alias Smith, a labourer em ployed at the Equitable Gas-works, Thames-bank, was charged wan the wilful murder of Mary Eliza beth Reynolds, a child. Elizabeth Reynolds sworn—l reside at No. 6, Douglas-street, Vauxhall-bridge-road. I have been living with the prisoner at the bar as his wife for the last three months. I had a child, a girl 17 months old, but it was not by the prisoner. I left it at eight o'clock last night fast asleep abed, in our room in Douglas-street, and went out. While away from home I met some friends, and took some drink, which so overcame me that I was taken by the police to the station-house, where I was kept. I was discharged this morning, and when I got home, between 10 and 11, I found my child dead in bed. It was covered with bruises and marks of violence. I was going for a police-constable when I met one coining, and he returned with me to the house and saw my child. Mr. BRODERIP (to the prisoner)—Do you wish to ask the witness any questions ? Prisoner—l don't know that I have got any to ask her. James Henry Walker, sworn—l live in the same house as the prisoner and the last witness. About half-past seven last night the prisoner came home and went upstairs. I was in my room, the back parlour, which is directly under the apartment he oc cupies. I heard him take the child out of bed, and I heard it fall on the floor. It screamed moot alarm ingly. At about 12 at night I heard the same thing repeated. Mr. BRODERIP—A fall on the floor and ecreams ? Witness—Yes, Sir. So heavy a fall that it shook me in my bed. The child screamed very much. Mr. BRODERIP—Was it immediately after the heavy fall that you heard the child scream again ? Witness —lt was. Witness continued—The fall and the screaming were again repeated this morning between 5 and 6 o'clock. They were exactly the same as before, and shortly after that I heard the prisoner go out to his employment. At half-past 10 or 11 I spoke to the lodger in the next room to the prisoner's, and she said there was something the matter. About half -past 10 or a quarter to 11 the last witness came home, and I called to her when abe got into her room, and she told me the child was dead. Mr. BRODERIP—Where was the child ? Witness —On the bed in their room. Mr. BRODERIP—Was that the room from which you heard the heavy falls and the screams ? Witness —lt was. Mr. BRODERIP—Did you hear the prisoner say anything? Witness —About half-past seven last nighr, when he came home, I heard him say some thing. The person in the next room had her door open at the time he entered the house, and desired her little girl to shut it, whr I he 'd the er William Millman, police-constable 95 B, sworn— From information I received I went to a back room on the first floor at 6, Douglas-street, this morning. I found the rno-her in the room crying, and the child lying on the bed, which was on the fluor, covered with a piece of sack. I lifted up its frock and saw it had a great msny bruises on it. Seeing it had no shirt on, such as children usually wear, I searched and found one saturated with blood. I also found the prisoner's shirt near it, partly tucked under the bed, covered with blood in parts. I found large places of blood upon the floor, as though something had been dashed down upon it; and there is also blood upon the clothes the prisoner has on. I took the prisoner at the Equitable Gas-works, as he was about leaving at one o'clock to-day. The child's mother went with me and pointed him out as he left the work.. I told him I should charge him with the wilful murder of a child at 6, Douglas-street, when he observed what he had to say would be said at the station-house. When he arrived there he stated that he lett work last night at half-past five o'clock, and went and had some beer with some of the rest of the men, and whe❑ he went home he was drunk, and fell over the child and didn't know any more about it. There were a dozen places with blood when I saw the bed-tick at the prisoner's house to-day. Mr. G. Pearse, of Regent-street, Westminster, surgeon, sworn—l was called by the police at half past two o'clock this day to 6, Douglas-street, and the officer Milleman showed me a female child lying on the bed, which I examined. Mr. BRODERIP—What was the reiult, sir, of your examination ? Mr. Pearse—l found the left arm and right leg broken. Tnere were 15 or 16 se vere contusions on the body and extremities, an in cised wound under the right eye, and nearly the whole of the head and lace, on the right side particu larly, was one mass of severe bruises. The face ap peared to have been recently washed. There was blood in the mouth and nostrils. The bruises on the body appeared to have been inflicted many days pre viously. Mr. BRODERIP—Were the itsjuries on the bead and the fractures recent ? Mr. Pearse—They were. Mr. BRODERIP—What, in your opinion, was the cause of death ? Mr. Pearse— L'he severe contusions on the right side of the head would be sufficient to cause the death of an infant. Mr. BRODERIP—Is it your opinion that the child met its death from violence ? Air. Pearse—lt is. Mr. Pearse added that he had not yet had the op portunity of making an internal examination of the body. There was a great qu entity of blood effused from the mouth and nostrils, probably caused by the rupture of some vessels. Mr. BRODERIP (to the prisoner)—lf you wish to say anything in answer to the charge, lam quite ready to hear you. You need not say anything unless you like. Have you anything to say The prisoner, who appeared throughout to treat the matter with the most perfect indifference, and never exhibited the least emotion at either the details or production of the clothes covered with blood, nor attempted to cross examine the witnesses, although invited to do so, re plied—" All I've got to say is, after I pit home I don't recollect anything as I done ; I recollect only picking the child up, and falling down on it two or three times. I had been out a-drinking with the other men all the evening." Mr. BRODERIP—Is that all you have to say ? Pri soner—l don't recollect what I said or done. Mr. BRODERIP—It is my duty to remand you on the charge of wilful murder until Thursday next.
