[The followipg appeared in our Third Edition of last night ;—j FRANCE. M. Jules Migeon has presented to the Assembly the following proposition for the revisio n of the Con stitution : " Considering Art. 111. of the Constitution, which states that ' When in the last year of a legislature the Nationol Assembly shall express a wish that the Consti tution should be modified, either wholly or partially, that revision shall be proceeded to in the following man ner:—The wish expressed by the Assembly shall not be converted into a definitive resolution until after three consecutive deliberations taken at a month's interval be tween each, and with three-fourths of the votes ex pressed. The number of voters mast be at least 500. The Assembly of revision shall only be named for three pendia. It cannot occupy itself except with the revision for which it has been convoked; but, nevertheless, in; case of urgent necessity, it may provide for legisla tive necessities.' Considering the numerous petitions which have been presented from every part of France — considering the almost unanimous wish expressed by the Councils-General —considering, lastly, the p ropoBl - presented on the 31st May last by a great number of representatives, for the purpose of restoring to th nation the full exerciQe of its sovereignty, we have the honour to propose to the Assembly to (evpress its wish that the Constitution should be revised . " when for the first It is known that the Assembly, time a proposition for the revision of the .Constitution was presented to it by M. Broglie, decided that all propositions of that nature s hould be examined by special commissions elected in the bureaux, whose re ports mast be presented to the Assembly within the delay of one month from the (ley of their nomination."

The following was the opening address read to the Pr scan chambers, on the 27th u lt.:— G6mt i eni ou Deputies of the First and Second Chambers, Majesty the King, our most gracious Sovereign, is p r gvented bidding you welcome at the commencement o f your important labours, by the fulfilment of a sacred and painful duty. " As the Tats King of Hanover came to Berlin to at tend tie funeral of his late Majesty Frederick William 111, our King would not omit giving, by his personal stftendanco at the funeral of au old friend and illustrious public testimony of respect for the exaltel virtues of the late King of Hanover, and the sympthy his Ma jetty feds for the painful loss which has bJallen the BD)* House and the Hanoverian nation in equal measure. • " His Majesty has, therefore empowered ta,),_ by an orti=.r of the 24th of November to open the session of the Chambers in his name, and at the same time communi c)ste t.)

These assemblies must be especially compe feet to give a judgment on the practical relations that have to be taken into consideration on this subject. "The result of their discussions has been the accutnu 'Aston of very valuable materials, which have been care employed in framing the project of law on this question, which will be laid before you. " In souse parts of the kingdom it is to be lamented that tlae produce of the harvest has been unravourable, and an anxiety founded on it has been expressed to the Government in various measures it has been urged to adopt in reference to it. The Government, however, has thought itself boucd to avoid every interference with the freedom of traffic and the rights of property, as a course that increases the evil instead of alleviating it; and still entertains the hope that an unrestricted intercourse on one side, and the reasonable economy of an intelligent people on the other, rill render the assistance of the Govsrament quite unnecessary.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, —As brevity is not one of the excellences usually affected by Mr. Anstey in either oratory or composition, I think I may venture to conclude that the " silence " in which he passes over the principal points in a letter complimented by him as elaborate, can arise from no other cause than the difficulty he finds in answering them. Mr. Anatey's letter, short as it is, contains some misrepresentations, and, therefore, I trouble you with a few words in reply. He says I have cast aspersions on the good faith of Count Teleki. Now, the only reference to Count Teleki which occurs in my letter is the following :—" A careful examination of his conduct during that brief administration shows that he was more scrupulous than even so sound a states mas as Count Ladislas Teleki to preserve unimpaired the provisions of the treaty which regulated the rela tions between Austria and Hungary.' Is this casting any aspersion on Count Teleki? He may well have thought that the reckless violation of that treaty by Austria in former times justified some departure from it on the part of Hungary. Honest men may, besides, differ in their interpretation of a treaty less obscure in its terms than the Pragma tic sanction. So far from desiring to cast aspersions on Count Teleki, I, in common with all who are ac quainted with his character, either public or private, entertain for him the most unqualified admiration and respect. Mr. Anstey regrets that Kossuth should have aban doned the democratic party ; but this he has not done. On the contrary, he has approximated towards it. M. Kossuth opposed the democratic party whilst he was Minister, because he preferred the existing Hun garian constitution to the untried experiment of a republic. It; is singular that he should be found fault with on this ground by a ,Member of the English Parliament. But Mr. Anstey says, "I do not see, under these circumstances, how M. Kosnl'h or his apologist can claim to have been defervisrs of Italian independence, which was the main {round on which 1 of to join in the hotnAge rendered to M. Kossuth while in this coun try." I confess this en!ence is to me unintelligible. Does Mr. Anstey mean that he objects to Kossuth chiefly because he claimed to be the defender of Italian nd.spendence, or because he failed in substantiating such . a claim ? But M. Kossuth's titl,4 to the esteem of Englishmen has never been supposed to rest on his conduct towards the Italians. L. is his conduct towards the Hungarian people which has secured him the attachment of the liberal party throughout the world. Be,ides, Mr. Anstey has retreated from his otiginsl charge, which was, to use his own words, " that Kossuth had mainly contributed to the destruc tion of Italian independence." He now (so far as his meaning can be discovered) puts forward as the main ground of his objection to Kossuth, merely that of Italian independence he was not the defender. I cannot pretend to so accurate a knowledge of the science of special pleading as my Hon. and Learned Friend, but it appears to me that he has been guilty of what is termed, I believe, by pleaders " a depar ture ;" that is, he has shifted his attack from its erig'nul ground. I have as earnest a desire for the eitablislament of Italian independence as any man can possibly entertain ; but I do not, therefore, forgst that M. Kossuth must be judged as a Hungarian, and not as if he were an Italian. In conclusion, permit me to express the hope that Mr. Anstey, when he has acquired more correct in formation respecting the administration of Kossuth than can be obtained from his " Life by Rogue," will admit that he has formed an erroneous judgment 0- specting that remarkable man with the same candour he has displayed towards another great statesman, against whom, not many years ago, Mr. Anstey made no inconsiderable preparation for preferring articles of impeachment. With thanks for the insertion of my former letter, I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, DUDLEY COUTT3 STUART.

BELFAST, Nov. 29.—A -t the conclusion of the proceedings of the mewing of the Royal Flax So ciety, yesterday, an intimation was conveyed to the gentlemen present that it was desirable such of them as felt ae interest in the establishment of railway communication between Belfast and Galway, now that the latter port is regarded as the mo,t likely packet station between this country and America, should remain to discuss the matter. A large number of highly influential parties accordingly remained, and the chair was taken by the Earl of Erne. After some. preliminary conversation, Mr. W. COATES remarked that he had been in formed that a meeting was to be held on the subject, by the Belfast Cnamber of Commerce, to-morrow (this day). He had also been favoured with a com munication from Dublin on the subject ; and, as he now understood the question, it had resolved itself into the difference between taking the line up from Armagh, and continuing it to Mullingar, or whether they would have a continuation of the line from Drogheda to Navan on to Mullingar. With refe rence to this question, so for as the North of Ireland was concerned, he thought there could be no com parison at all.— (Hear.) He was himself one of the first parties who took up the question of railway com munication in the North of Ireland, in promoting the Ulster line ; and he could say for himself, that the idea at that time entertained was that of going on to Sligo.—(Elear, hear.) Of course, they had due re gard, in making the partial lines, to their own imme diate interest, in the way of having a fair return for their capital; but when they came to consider its extension to Sligo, and the opening up of railway traffic to the west of Ireland the matter became one of national importance ; and he conceived that it was the duty of the Government to take it up, and assist in having it carried out, and that the Board of 'Works would be very happy to aid it in the way of loan. However, from the difficulty which they had thrown in their way, in the affair of Exchequer-bills, they found it impracticable. He believed, if they had been like other parties, and had more experience in borrowing, they could easily have arranged it. The money advanced in the way of loan was restricted to earth-works, and such like ; and they could easily have retained their own capital for the purchase of rolling stock, expending the money borrowed in the construction. But they had not this experience ; and, being plain-sailing, straightforward sort of people they bad declined to proceed ; and the result was that the continuation towards Sligo had never been effected. He thought there could be no two opinions upon the subject, that it would be most decidedly for the benefit of Belfast that railway communication should be opened from this town to the west of Ireland. He believed also, that there was no interest which would be in a greater degree benefited than the Ulster Railway Company. It would be a decided advantage to them to have the communication effected; and he thought it lay strongly upon them to take the matter up. Mr. ANKETELL here observed that it might not be perhaps known to all the gentlemen there that a general meeting upon that subject was to be held on Tuesday next, in Cavan, at twelve o'c'iock. Mr. WORKMAN, applying himself to the observa tions of Mr. Coates in regarded to the propriety of having the proposed line taken up by the Ulster Company, remarked that they all knew that railway property was not returning anything like a fair in terest on capital ; and he held that to suppose that the Ulster Company would take up the proposed line was downright nonsense. If the landlords who were interested in it and the Government jointly were to take it up, under such circumstances, it might be made to pay; but for the Ulster Railway Company or any other to proceed in it would be, as he had remarked, "sense- If it were to go on, he believed the right , course a t Ar magh Mullingar, to make sixteen miles, which was required tle to connect the latter town with N ll ha.tvwzotaiusbldrabe, instead of eighty miles, from wcoonutdructed Lord MASSEREEN.E ob: ; er e b ved, that there was another coun constructed, led whichy the see proposed med t o bee t i r t y it w w hi ecr h e arxiaoulusditod have Scotland. left out of consideration. and Be a lfa e st ralway That country ought to be communication between Galway estab lished, and thus placed on an equality with England. His Lordship conceived that they might be, perhaps, taking a premature step, until they ascertained what Scotland would do in the matter, for he feared their own ability to carry out any project of the kind. Mr. MULHOLLAND assured his Lordship that the people of Scotland would take no step of the ki n d . H r e e cbteol r of the Ulster line, ie v e dhe s t odt hred h ao singly, in confessedthe capacity that bo f adi did not take the same view of the matter to that put forward by Mr. Coates. He did not think that it would be the duty of the directors to engage the proprietors in such. an undertaking ; and he believed that the first move should be taken by the landed pro prietors interested. When they bad made the pre liminary arrangements 30 far as to be able to come to the company, and say that they were prepand to offer them the land at a reasonable rate, and tl sat they were in a position to engage them 3f or 4 per cent. for working the line, on the security of tl le rates, or in I any other eligible way, then the directs ass would be in a condition to entertain the proposal, and to yield every assistance which was in their power. He was, also, on the direction of the Ballymena Railway, which company was likewise interested in the project; and he would repeat what he had before urged, that until a step were taken by the landed proprietors, no rail way company would be in a position to aid in the The Coroner then proceeded to read the letter. He said it was very difficult to decipher ; but, as near as he could arrive at it, the contents were these : " Dear Friends—l have not the least doubt but what you will think it strange at my doing what I have ; but I have been very unhappy for some months con cerning a young man whom I was very fond of and who I believe was very fond of me until my illness, when he was over-persuaded by another young woman (whose name could not be distinctly made out). I never met the young man once but that I fancied I could cut my throat." The writer then went on to hope that they would not blame the young man, as there was no one to thank for it but the young woman mentioned above. She then went; on to say that her last prayer was for Samuel, and she hoped he would never marry that young woman, as if he did he would never be happy. She then consigned her soul to God, expressed her forgiveness of every body, and prayed that she might be forgiven for the wicked deed. In conclusion, she made some remarks about her mother, and wished all her friends a merry Christmas and a happy new year. The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased person committed the act, being at the time in an un sound state of mind." Mr. Baker held an inquest on Saturday, at the London Hospital, on the body of Robert Golder, aged eleven years. The deceased was in the habit of rolling over and tumbling in the.streets for the amuse ment of his companions, and on Friday week he walked about on his hands, with his heels in the air, when he fell heavily on the ground and injured his right shoulder, and died on Thursday from conse quent injuries.—Verdict accordingly. On Friday Mr. W. Carter held an inquest at the Queen Elizabeth Tavern, Walworth-common, as to the death of Elizabeth Edwin, aged 66. The de ceased was in the habit of washing for her daughter, and on Tuesday the latter pulled her nose and slapped her face. Deceased sat down, became very much excited, and after a short time suddenly fell to the floor, exclaiming, previously, " God will repay you, if I don't." The jury, after some deliberation, re• ,urned a verdict of "Died by the visitation of God." project. Mr. RICLIARD DAVISON said he thought they should confine themselves to the simple question as to how far it would be desirable to establish a railway commencing at Mellinger and terminating at the terminus of the Ulster Railway. There could be no doubt that, if they allowed the other proposal to be carried out, they would allow the trade to be taken away from their doors. There was a meeting, as they had heard, to be held in Cavan, on Tuesday next, and he considered it ought to be distinctly laid before it, that the project could only be effected through the instrumentality of a private company, and the landed proprietors should be urged to come forward and hold out sufficient inducements to them—to tell them they would give them all the land that was required for ten, or twelve, or thirteen years' purchase, as the case might be. If this were done, there would be no diffi culty whatever in getting up a company. But, if the shareholders had the prospect held out to them of being left at the mercy of the owners and of the occu piers of land through which the line must pass, there would be difficulties of the most formidable descrip tion ; and the fact would deter men of experience in such matters from embarking in the speculation. If, he repeated, a liberal offer, of the nature he had de scribed, were made, and that they were secured against the annoyance of the many claimants for over compensation, then it would be, without doubt, the interest of the people of Belfast, and of the North generally, that the thing should be commenced with out waiting for the Scotch people to move in the matter at all. He would only say, further, that he had himself had a conversation with a gentleman, in London, who stated to him that, in case such induce ments were held out, he would give 10,000/. to com mence with. Mr. M. J. ANHETELL said that he was acquainted with the feeling of several of the most extensive landed proprietors through whose estates the line in question would run, including that of the chairman and others, and he was in a position to state that it was decidedly favourable. The line would pass the estate of Lord Farnham, se ho would be ready, he was convinced, to afford the company every facility pos sible, and to deal liberally with them ; then there was Mr. Saunderson, Sir Thomas Leonard, Lord Rossmore, Mr, Leslie, and Lord Caledon—all of whom would be favourable to it. He was satisfied, in fact, that the leading landed proprietors would be happy to advance the plan so far as to give the re quired ground at a moderate valuation, Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD said he was not quite sere whether the whole of the meeting was aware of the change which had taken place iu the law, during the late session, on the subject of the valuation of land for railway purposes in Ireland. The Land Clauses Consolidation Act had been repealed, in so far es it bore upon such valuations; and it was enacted that a valuator should be appointed, on application to the Board of Works, and the company may enter upon possession of the land they require by lodging the amount of his award. There was an appeal pro vided for by traverse, as to an ordinary county court presentment, before the next going judge of assize. It was a most important alteration. Mr. Hem:setae; observed that one great advantage to be derived from their opening up communication with the West of Ireland was this:—They were placed here—such as were engaged in the linen trade —in a peculiar position; for while they had demand for their linen, aed an actual plethora of yarn, they could not get weavers in sufficient numbers to manu facture the cloth. If they had a railway to connect them with those portions of the country where the people were suffering from want of employment, both parties would be benefited—they would have the advantage of the labour now going to loss, and the poor people would have employment. Mr. M. J. ANSETELL then proposed a resolution to the effect that the meeting regarded a line of rail way from Armagh to Mullingar as highly desirable; and that, as a preliminary step, the landowners, on the intended railway, be invited to give every assistance in their power to the completion of so valuable and important an undertaking. Mr. COATES seconded the resolution, which, being put from the chair by the Right Hon. Chairman, was carried unanimously. It was, also, arranged, that a deputation from the meeting would attend, on Saturday morning, at eleven o'clock, at the Chamber of Commerce, for the purpose of cousidering the steps necessary to be taken in promoting the construction of the line indicated. ATTEMPTED MURDER at LEEDS A young man, a labourer, named Thomas Patrick, is at present in custody, on the charge of having at tempted to murder a young woman to whom he had been paying his addresses, but in the act of shooting at her he appears to have wounded another female who was near at the time. The prisoner underwent a preliminary examination before the borough justices on Thursday last ; and from the statements then made the following appear to be the circumstances under which the attack was made. Jane Sunter, a young woman, nineteen years of age, and residing with her father in Catherine street, at the Bank, had been courted by the prisoner for tb) last tweve months, but latterly, for some rea son or other, she had declined to receive his addresses, and requested him to discontinue his visits. The prisoner, however, refuted compliance with the request thus made to him, and still perse vered in his visits, About a quarter before seven o'clock on Wednesday evening he called, when par tially intoxicated, to ask Jane to accompany him to the Casino, which she peremptori l y refused to do, Jane's mother being in the house at the time. He, however, would take no denial, and on the principle that perseverance conquers all difficulties, sat down to chat snd smoke his pipe, but finding all his eloquence unavailing, he at last laid hands upon her and tried to drag ter to the doer, under the pretence that he wantel to speak to her, but she would not go. A neighbouring woman, named Crossley, was then sent for to 'aelp to turn him out of the house, and during the st7uggle which ensued, the prisoner, addressing Jane 6unter, said, "If I don't meet thee to-night I will in the morning. I've something in my pocket that will quieten thee." Mrs. Crossley replied, " Then scamp, thou means Malkin her' (alludiog to the murder of a young woman at Hunslet by her sweetheart, who was called Malkin). At length he was got out of the house, and it was supposed that be had gone away. Shortly afterwards, while Jane Sunter was talking at the door to Mary Ann Mills, Mrs. Crossley's sister, they heard a noise like the report of a pistol, and imme diately Mary Ann Mills screamed out. Jane Sunter looked and saw the prisoner standing in the middle of the street, and observing something glitter, she though a piece of pot had been thrown. On turning to Mary Ann Mills, she saw she was wounded in the forehead. Mr. Heald, surgeon, was immediately sent for to dress the wound, and the injured person has since the occurrence been confined to bed. On examining the wall of the house where the two females were standing, it was found that a piece of brick bad been knocked out, it is supposed by the charge from the pistol. The prisoner after firing walked away, but was subsequently apprehended by Police-officer Appleton. These facts having been sworn to by the several witnesses called, the prisoner was remanded until next Thursday, in order that Diary Ann Mills, if sufficiently recovered, may give evidence against him.— Leeds Mercury. FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION. On Thursday evening the annual meeting of this association was held in the Concert Hall, Lord Nel son-street ; Robertson Gladstone, Esq., president of the association, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, who was received with great cheering, said that this meeting, strictly speaking, ought to have been held much earlier in the year, and so ft.r as his own convenience was concerned might have taken place in the commencement of last month ; but it bad occurred to some of the members of the council, with perfect good taste and right feel ing, that as her Majesty was then about to honour Liverpool with a visit the exposure of the enormities of our financial system was not the most fitting wel come for royalty, however much they might have reason to believe the natural bent of her Majesty's dis position to be opposed to reckless extravagance and national wrong.—(Hear, hear.) The great object of their opponents was to succeed in representing to the world that this association was formed for the purpose of damaging the good old constitution, and even placing Majesty itself in jeopardy ; but they hoped to show the country that the purpose is to amend, not to destroy. It was true, this association, in order that no charge of omission might hereafter be brought against them, have, as a matter of form, much more than in any expectation that their prayer would be listened to, petitioned the House of Commons, pray ing that they would reduce the national expenditure —revise the entire system of taxation—relieve in dustry of its trammels—and, in order that all classes of the people may bear what is their equitable pro portion only of the burdens of the state, that a system of direct, instead of indirect taxation be sub stituted. But from the present House of Commons, as now constituted, he feared there was little or nothing to expect. Even the Government appear to be aware of this evil, and contemplate bringing for ward a further measure of Parliamentary reform. Mr. DouGess E. MILNE, the secretary, read the report of the committee, which expressed the opinion that how great soever may be the difficulty of finding an acceptable and perfect scheme of direct taxation, no plan can be possibly adopted so full of evil in every imaginable form, and with so little counter vailing advantage of any kind, as that system of taxa tion now existing. Mr. A. C. STEWART moved the adoption of the re port. He exposed the impolicy, absurdity, and wickedness of spending the national money in sup porting schools and carrying out sanitary improve ments, while the Government imposed taxes on knowledge and duties on soap, tea, and all those articles which render home happy, and induce habits of sobriety and morality in a people. Such taxes, he said, ought to be repealed at once and for ever. Mr. P. BOULT, in seconding the motion, observed that the two objects which the association had in view were a due and efficient economy in the expenditure of the country, and a thorough reform of the existing system of taxation. The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was car ried unanimously. Mr. E. BRODRIBB then, in a long and able address, which was repeatedly cheered, moved the adoption of a petition in accordance with the objects of the meeting. Mr. L. HEYWORTH, M.P., seconded the resolution. The resalution was put and carried. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE WINDER, Mr. C. ROBERTSON moved the appointment of the officers and committee for the ensuing year. Mr. Robertson Gladstone was named as president, and Mr. Lawrence Hey worth, M.P., vice-president. Mr. C. E. RAWLINS seconded the resolution, which was also carried unanimously ; and, after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting broke up.— Liverpool Chronicle. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MERE RAILWAY. A melancholy accident, resulting in the death ox one of the men employed on this line, occurred at the Staveley station on Wednesday last. It appears that a luggage train, to which a passenger carriage was at tached, left Birthwaite shortly before two o'clock in the afternoon of that day on its way to Kendal. It had been expected that Mr. Crewdson, one of the di rectors, would return by that train to Kendal, and the station-master at Staveley had accordingly put up the red signal, as an intimation to the engine-driver that he was to atop. The engine driver, whose name is John Unsworth, and who is a very steady , and trustworthy servant, and according to his state ment has been fifteen years in his present occupation, accordingly, as he approached, slackened his speed, and the deceased, whose name was Anthony Stringer, and who was a porter on the line, and was with some waggons behind, put on the break to assist his comrade in pulling up. There appeared to be a misunderstanding respecting the return of Mr. Crewdson, and the station-master ordered the driver, who was slackening his speed, to go on, making at the same time a movement to that effect with his hand. The deceased does not, however, appear to have noticed any signal, and in consequence of the sudden jerk caused by the partial putting on of the steam was thrown off the break, across the rails on the down side, close by the platform, having been precipitated against a post at the end of it. He was not missed by the engine-driver until the train reached Kendal, but was found immediately after by the Staveley stationmaster, his legs having been run over by the train and severed from his body, except by a piece of skin. Mr. Longmire, surgeon, was immediately summoned from Kendal, and arrived with a special engine, promptly supplied by the com pany, but attempts to rally the system proved un availing, and he expired about ten o'clock the same evening. He was 25 years of age, and was a very good and steady servant. It appears that the only parties with the train were the engine-driver and the deceased, who had it in management, and Mr. Hare rison, the secretary, and the Rev. Mr. Addison, of Birthwaite. An inquest was held, and the jury re turned a verdict of " Killed by being accidentally thrown from the break on the rails, and run over by the last carriage."

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 1. (Before Lord CAMPBELL and a Special Jury.) QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF KENNEDY V. ALLEYNE In May, 1847, I heard that the mare waa an American mare. _ _ _ No question was asked this witness in erosa-examina ;ion. AND OTHERS (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Cross-examined by Sir F. THESIGER ' for Holder Alleyne-In 18 43 was the first time I knew Holder Alleyne. He was then a Lieutenant in the 52d Regi ment. Ho was going to Nova Scotia, and I was going to Canada. I should think that he was then twenty-six. I had an annual allowance of 100/. My pay was 961. I kept horses and carriages at Montreal. I kept two horses; and a short time, for about four months, I had a sleigh and a pony carriage. I frequented gambling houses, and went to two races. I lost 1,200/. at roulette to a man of the name of Stewart. If I lost to Etidon, I lost but very small sums I gave a bill which, as I was not of age, he got me to post-date. I did state to my brother officers that I could not be compelled to pay the bill. I stated that on discovering that the roulette wheel was an unfair one. I have no recollection of laying a wager of 500/. on the distance of the Rocky Mountains from Montreal-not with Mr. Coiling wood. I never betted with him more than 4/. or 5/. I laid wagers when I was offered them, and thought I could win them. I was not publicly reproved by the Adjutant-General for gambling. I was spoken to privately. I left Montreal in debt. My mother paid my debts - some hundreds certainly. Amongst them was 500/. to Holder Alleyne on the Liverpool Steeplechase, about the year it was first run, and whose horse had won. I had been at Mon treal from November, 1843, and left in May, 1845. I went for a month to Quebec. I arrived in England in July, 1845. I went to the depot of the regiment at Carlisle. I did not make bets till I met Holder Al leyne again-that was about May, 1846. I had not be fore that time won 2,000/ from Mr. Saville. I did not win 2,000/., but about 1,200/. I was reprimanded for gambling. I was reprimanded together with D'Arcy that was in November, 1847. Holder Alleyne came from America in March or April, 1846. Saw him in London. I first commenced betting in London, when my bets were paid. I made a bet with him when we were going down in the same carriage to Epsom races it was a bet on the Derby. I had no other bet of more than a pound or two. Tho next occasion on which I saw Holder Alleyne was at Hull. I first saw him at Hull in August, 1846. At that time I believe Joseph Alleyne was an undergraduate. He and his brother dined at our mess. Nothing was talked about Pigeon at the time of dinner; not that I remember. I did not ridicule at table the notion of her performing the feats spoken of. We went afterwards to D'Arcy's quar ters. At that time I had seen the mare, but only in the stables. Holder Alleyne and Joseph Alleyne went to D'Arcy'e quarters. Captain Crawford, of the 89th, and some brother officers came in; amongst others Captains Head and Phillips. We had cigars. I drank but little. Holder Alleyne vaunted the prowess of his mare. He said she was a very good little mare, but be did not tell us what she could do. I ridiculed the notion of her being able to perform anything extraordinary. I laughed at her appearance; she was rough, and in bad condition. That did not rouse him to say what she could do. Ho offered me a great many wegene, Then I offered him ore or two. We then proposed the one which we made; not the sum. I cannot tell what I offered, for there were so many. The wager was written down by D'Arcy, ind signed by both of us. The sums were settled after wards between us. Holder Alleyne proposed the amounts, and they were agreed to or not. Joseph Al leyne remonstrated with him on the folly cf making a wager of that kind. He did not ask me to let him off the bet. The next morning he offered to let me off if I paid him 501. I refused. I said I did not make a bet to give 504 for it. I saw the mare in the stable once at Hull, but not after the large bet was made. I did not see her until the following summer in London. I paid on the 26th of December, 1846. After that time I fre quented races. I was not the owner of a horse called the Knight of Gwynne. I hired a horse called Fortune teller from D'Arcy; its name was changed afterwards to the Knight of Gwynne. I had an American pony, but I never knew it by any name. I bought with Holder Al leyne a pony from Mr. Gaussen. I only knew it as an American pony. I had 1,0001. bet on that pony, with which Holder Alleyne went shares. It was purchased in July, 1847. That match was forfeited. 5001. were paid by the other side to me. Holder Alleyne got 125/. for the man, as the man said he would not have forfeited if he had not gone halves with him, so Holder Alleyne got 375 L The match was made by me with a man named Syas, and Holder Alleyne offered to go halves with me. I allowed him to do so. He told me after wards that he had got Syas to make the bet with me, and he got 1251. from me for Syas. He got Syas to make the bet by telling Syas that he was to have half Lhe money. I backed my horse Fortune-teller in the Liverpool Steeplechase of 1850. I stood to win 12,000/. I got 40 to 1 laid me in odds. Mr. Davis betted me 4,0001. to 100/. I did not win all that, but I won a small amount. Holder Alleyne purchased Sir Tatton Sykes for me. Holder Alleyne borrowed the money at three per cent. He charged me 3,1501., and he bought for 3,0001. He bought Sir Tatton Sykes as my agent. He ,vas to go shares with me if he bought another horse of the same value, which he did not do. It was necessary to pay 500/. in order to prevent a forfeit of a former engagement. Holder Alleyne furnished me with the money. This was in August, 1847. In December of that year I went to Bath. I went to the York House. I kept four horses and a dog cart. I took Rudlow House, at Bath, from the Christmas of 1847. My mo ther had lived at Bath for several years. I found no difficulty in obtaining credit. I got plate and other things. I got plate to the amount of 4001. and gave my bill for it. I was afterwards in difficulty in London, and pledged part of it at Vaughan's, and another part at another place, when H. Alleyne was with me. I did not pledge it in my own name. I remember wanting money to go to the Liverpool Steeplechase. I did divide a 10/, note, go to ono tradesman, show that half and get 10/.; and go to another, show him the other half, and get another 101. on that. I received half the note, 10/. or 5/, I cannot tell which. I went to the landlord at the York House. I gave him part of the note which I had, and asked him if he would let me have the amount of it, and I would give him the other half when I re ceived it. He then said that I need not trouble myself about it; that he would lend me the money, and put it down in the bill. I said I should prefer not, and that I would leave the half of the note with him, which I did. I subsequently received the other half ; and also by the same poet I received a letter from a tradesman at Dover, to whom I owed a small sum, telling me that if I did not pay him by return of post the money I owed him, he would sue me. I was unable be fore the post went out to get the other half from the landlord, and to save the post I sent the remaining half, that is the half I had received that morning, and on my seeing the landlord I told him I would take advantage of his offer, and he gave it me, and I sent it to the tradesman. I had paid the landlord's bill, 2001., about that time. I had to pay my own bill and that of two gentlemen who were with me, one of whom was D'Arcy, that 3251. I have paid the rest under a judgment since. the expense of furnishing Rudlow House amounted to about 1,100/., of which I paid 4504, and my sister paid the remainder in full. Getting into the house cost me about 2,0001. I have made a mistake, I had three horses and a dog-cart. I incurred considerable debts at Bath; the largest was furnishing the house. An execution was pat in, I applied for assistance to pay it out. I borrowed 4004 from my solicitor, Mr. Newton. I did not know at that time that he got the money from Holder Alleyne-he has since been paid. A second execution was put in. I then brought forward a bill of sale I had given to Newton on paying off the first. I have paid, or arranged to pay, all the debts at Bath; there were other writs against me. I was afterwards arrested and lodged in Hereford Gaol, that was in August 1848. I was afterwards removed to the Qaeen's Prison. Holder Alleyne visited me there; my uncle, Captain Blair, once visited me there. I was in the Queen's Prison about three weeks. I was lender en gagement with my sister, on her paying my debts, to leave the country and go to France till my affairs were settled. I came over in November to appear in the India House when I got my cadetship, and then I was arrested; two days afterwards I finally quitted the country. I was only in custody about two hours. From the beginning of the year 1846 to the end of 1848 I was in continual communication with Holder Alleyne. I came over from Boulogne on one occasion to see Mr. Crosse about drawing an indictment against the defendant's. That was in October or November, 1848. I did not, till some time afterwards, give instruc tions for any civil proceedings, a bill in Chancery, not till just before I left for India. It was to resist payment of a bond for 4,0001., which I believed to have been improperly obtained from me. It was about this trans action. Newton knew the whole of the circumstances. I had made him acquainted with all the circumstances in September, 1848, while I was in the Queen's Prison. The bill in Chancery was withdrawn, and the costs paid, partly by me and partly out of the trust fund. All the letters were given up about that time. The letter were extorted from me by a threat to take out execution against me on. a warrant of attorney, on a judgment which was payable in May, 1848, for 7801. Cross-examined by Mr. HUMPBREY, for M`Geachy Alleyne-I was at Sandhurst with M‘Geachy Alleyne. He is a few months younger than I. He expressed his regret that his brother had made such a bet with me, as he was in my regiment. At one time I hid a higb opinion of M`Geachy Alleyne. I have not lately said that he had had nothing whatever to do with defrauding me. I said that I believed he was corrupted by his brother in Canada. I did not say that I believed he had nothing to do with the conspiracy or the fraud. I did not say so to Mr. Bryer, the veterinary surgeon. I be lieve I said also that I believed he was a most high prin cipled man till he was corrupted by his brother. Cross-examined by Mr. SIRS, for D'Arcy-At Hull, O'Hara was the joint servant :of me and D'Arcy. At Rudlow D'Arcy went down at my express invitation to come to Bath. We were on terms of friendship. He was ill, and I thought it would do him good. I did not advise him to leave the army. Before I loft for India I had lent him money, and he had lent me money at various times. The account is I believe slightly in my favour. The last sum that I received from him was 5001. I gave him no acknowiedgment. Re-examined by Mr. JAMES-Holder Alleyne had re ceived from me about 12,000/. from the date of the intro duction on board the vessel in 1843 to September, 1847. [The witness here gave the particulars., Holder Alleyne came down to Bath once. The debts at Bath have been paid or settled. Ido not owe D'Arcy anything now. Captain Edward Head examined-I am pay master in the 89th Regiment of Foot. I was at the depot at Hull in 1846. I knew Kennedy. I know Holder Alleyne, but not M‘Greachy. I was present when the bet was made about Pidgeon. The Rev. Joseph Alleyne was present. He was an undergraduate at that time. It was in D'Arcy's room , . Holder Alleyne said be had bought the mare in Eugland, and that she was an Eugiish mate. I did nut know theiranthng about the mare being an American mare. I waa in giment when Alr. Kennedy paid the 7,8001. a. these circumstances it eenee, anti mad the jury to say _ 'lhe Court then adjourned til . to•rcorroW (this Gig). Bryer examined—l was a veterinary surgeon at Cheltenham in 1846. Holder Alleyne was at Chelten ham in October, November, and December, 1846. I at tended this mare, Pidgeon, in November, 1846. Mr. Holder Alleyno called me in. It was standing at livery stables. The mare was lame. I continued to attend the mare—l believe daily down to the 10th of December. She was still lame. Holder Alleyne told me she was en gaged in a match. He asked me if I was a betting man, for if I was he would let me into a good thing. I told him I did not bet. I told him I did not think she would do the match. Sho was in a state that she might at tempt the match, but not go through it. I saw her in January or February this year at Northleach. She was out of the stable, and was lame. Before January, 1847, she was not in a condition to perform a match. Cross-examined by Sir F. THEsIGER—I am not posi tive whether I saw her after the 10th of December, 1346. My opinion was that she had navicular disease. In my opinion that disease is incurable. There was no visible disease. The horse was trotted up and down near the stable, and showed lameness. I did not know whether it increased or decreased with exercise. I have not seen racehorses with that disease, but I have seen horses on the road with it. The lameness in some degree goes off by warmth. She was in very good condition — good hard condition. Holder Alleyne said she was an extraordinary trotter. Cross-examined by Mr. HUMFREY—I saw Mr. Ken nedy, the prosecutor, when the indictment was pre ferred. I was speaking to him of M`Ceeachy Alleyne among other things. Mr. Kennedy did not say that he (M,Geachy Alleyne) had had nothing to do with the conspiracy or the fraud. Ho said ho was sorry for M'Geachy, for he thought he had been drawn into it by his brother. Re-examined by Mr. JAMES—I told Holder Alleyne that it was the navicular disease. It interfered with the action of the foot. Ignatius Francis Coyle, examined by Mr. JAMES—I come from Newgate, where I am under sentence. I know Holder and M'Geachy Alleyne. I was at one time on intimate terms with them. In November, 1846, I saw them both at Cheltenham. At that time Holder Alleyne owed me 3751. Holder Alleyne told use in a private room at the Plough, " that an unfortunate acci dent had occured; that he had a trotting match for a large sum of money with a young officer named Ken nedy; that had the animal kept right fur another month he would have won a very largo sum of money, more than I had ever won on the Derby or St. Leger." I said I never knew such large sums of money betted upon trotting iu this cuuutry. He, said this was a private match ho had made himself. He then told me that the mare had been trotting on the Tewkes bury-road, and when he got her home to his stable he found her dead lame. He asked me what he ought to do under these circumstances. I ad vised him to go and see Mr. Kennedy and make the best compromise he could. He told me he got her at Liver pool, and M'Gcachy Alleyne, who was by tell the time, gave a horse laugh. I said, " There is something in this more than you let me know." He then told me he had brought her over from America with him, thet her name was " Fanny Jenks," and no one knew anything of her bat his brother and Colonel Blois. M'Geachy Alleyne heard the whole of the conversation, and said to his brother, " You had better be advised by Coyle." Holder then said to M'Geachy, " Then you must go to Hull and see Kennedy." Holder gave me a cheque for 375/., and I went to town. I went down to Cheltenham in consequence of this letter, which I received from Holder Alleyne. (Cheque read, dated November 30.) I afterwards saw Holder Alleyne at my house, in Alex ander-square, Brompton. He asked me, if I saw Ken nedy, would I say I had two matches on with him (Holder Alleyne) for 1,0001. each? I asked him what his object was? He said he was obliged to say so in order to get a settlement out of Kennedy. I asked him what compromise he had come to of the former match? Ha said Kennedy being an old friend of his and his brother's, he had let hies off for 5001. forfeit. He said nothing about having received 7,300 L I know Holder Alleyne's handwriting. These letters are in his hand writing. (Letters read, addressed to witness. The sub stance of them has been already stated.) Cross-examined by Sir F. THEsIGER—I have been convicted of forgery, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. It was on the evidence of the Alleynes I was convicted for uttering a forged acceptance of Lord Clifden. Lord Clifden was also a witness. Re-examined—They bad kept the bill for two years before telling Lord Clifden. I was convicted on the evi dence of these two defendants. By Lord CAMPBELL—There was a letter from myself laid before the jury. The prosecution was instituted some weeks after my name was on the back of this bill. I had previously bee❑ charged with forgery before a magistrate, but the charge had been withdrawn. I was threo times before the magistrates. Charles Craddock examined—ln November and Do• cembar, 1846,1 was in Mr. Bryer's employ at Chelten ham. I attended Holder Alleyne's mare once. It was lame at the time. I took the bill to him. He said he should not pay Bryer, as he had ruined his mare. Sir John Kirkland examined—l am an army agent in Pall-mall. On the 28th of December, 1846, I received on account of Mr. Kennedy from Coutts's the sum of 8,3641. 16s. 9d. On the 29th of December, 1846, I re ceived an order to transfer 7,360/. from Mr. Kennedy's account to the credit of Holder Alleyne. I did so on the 31st. Mr. Kennedy recalled—At the trial of Coyle, Holder Alleyne, in his evidence, stated that he had received 7,3601. from me. M`Geachy Alleyne also said he had received 2,850/, on the 20th of January, 1847, bat be said it was not part of what his brother had received from me. He said it was not all for himself. Cross-examined—He said 1,6504 was transferred to his brother Joseph's account, and, that of the 1,0001. he had for himself 5001. had been given him by his brother Holder, and the other 5004 was a loan. Lie always de nied that he knew that the money was part of what his brother had received from me. Holder Alleyne also said the same. Captain Blair examined—l reside in Montague-square. lam the prosecutor's uncle. I obtained the cadetship for him in November, 1848. He was obliged to leave England in three months after his appointment. James Hooper examined—l was clerk to Cox and Son's, the army (Tents, in 1846. They were the agents of Mr. D'Arcy in that year. There was an order to pay him a sum of money. This is the handwriting of M'Geachy Alleyne. (The affidavit was then put in upon which the defendants got the trial postponed. They undertook to give material evidence on this oc casion.) Coyle was then recalled, and spoke to a conversation with D'Arcy, in which he said he had received 1,200/. or 1,5001. of the 7,3601. received from Kennedy. Some evidence was then put in with the view of prov ing payment of the bets, and the case for the prosecution closed.

TIIEBIGER addressed the jury for the defendant Holder Alleyne.—He said, long as the case had lasted, it was impossible hetcould allow it to terminate with such witnesses as Kennedy and Coyle. The charge itself, as well as the manner in which it had been introduced to the jury, were such as would be likely to prejudice their minds against the defendants. Holder Alleyno was not Kennedy's intimate, but M`Geachy Alleyne was. In stead of its being the fact that Holder Alleyno had inoculated the prosecutor with the love of gambling, the fact was that from the very first ho had indulged in gross extravagances. One was as willing to bet as the other was, and there was no pretence for saying that Holder Alleyno had induced the prosecutor to bet. Kennedy, like many other foolish young men, had con tracted debts at Montreal, which his friends had been induced to pay; and having become old in youth, he now wished the jury to believe that he had not fallen again into gambling till, on his return to England, he again fell into Holder Alleyne's company. The defendant had done no more thee the prosecutor had done, se.z., made bets when he expected to win. The false pretences charged were that the mare had trotted 18 miles within an hour, that she was sure to win, and that he had two other bets of 1,0001. each on her. All that was true. There was no allegation that the defen dant had represented the mare to be an English mare; and as to the change of name, that was a practice com mon on the turf in order to conceal the pedigree. The mare was no doubt an extraordinary mare. There was no evidence of any improper inducement being made use of to get the prosecutor to enter into this bet, and the fact that the defendant had offered the next day to re lease the prosecutor for a small profit showed that he had no desire to take any advantage; but would prove that the mare was in excellent condition to run the match, and she was actually on the way to the place when she was recalled because the wager had been paid. It would be proved that the mare was not lame from January, 1847, to January, 1851, and that the disease was not incurable; and that she could not have won the match in January, 1847, though Bryce said the con trary. It was remarkable that the prosecutor never in quired into the state of the mare, but paid the bets and became joint owner. The prosecutor had raised a prejudice by asserting that the defendant got back his . two letters under a thr eat ' of arrest, but the fact was that the defendant had actually lent him money when he was in difficulties. The Learned Counsel hero read a letter from the prosecutor to the defendant— written after the time when he now said he had insti tuted proceedings against him—in which he apologised for unfriendly expressions which he had made use of, and acknowledged that be had spoken under feelings of irritation, when it was most likely he was misled. The prosecutor's statement as to the way in which the 7,3001. had been arranged could not be true, for it was incre dible that he should have become half owner of the mare without exercising his right, or calling upon the defend ant to exercise it for their common benefit. Mr. HUMFRET addressed the jury for I.l.‘Geachy Al leyno, who, at the time of the original bet, was in Ame rica. It was only by forced inferences that it could be deception being practised on whole ny ease against him rested on t kn T ew he o f a the evidence of Coyle , a man branded with a conviction shown ow prosecutor. thatecu ho or. of felony. There was no pretence for imputing fraud at all, and still less for saying that M`Geachy Alleyne was privy to it. The character of the mare was excel lent, and if she had been well there could be no doubt that she would have won the race; and even as it was, the lameness would have gone off as she warmed in ex ercise. Under these circumstances it was monstrous to impute fraud and conspiracy to the defendant 11‘Geachy Alleyne. Mr. SIRR, for the defendant D'Arcy, said that, even snpposing the other defendants to be guilty, there was nothing to fix guilt upon his client. The only fact against him was that he had received payment of some money from Alleyne, which might have teen due upon some turf r., to pay out of the money received from the prosecutor. The facts were quite compatible with D'Aroy's CORONERS' INQUESTS. On Saturday evening Mr. J. W. Pyne, the deputy coroner, held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hos pital, respecting,the death of Jeremiah Pollard, aged 33 years. It appeared by the evidence that deceased was in the service of Mr. Shortus, china-warehouse. man, of Crispin-street, Spitalfields, and on Monday, the 17th instant, while lowering a crane, the handle of the machine clipped from his grasp, when he endea voured to stop the wheel with his left hand, whereby his little finger was cut off. He was removed to the hospital, where mortification of the arm supervened, causing absorption of putrid matter into the blood, no doubt, resulting from the injury to the finger.—Vet- diet, " Accidental death."
