THE. SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 18, 1850. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian,) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY,—The tendency to higher prices i n yarns, which was experienced in this market last week, has been carried further to-day, in conse quence of the largely increased falling off in the receipts of cotton at the American ports, as shown by the Niaga ra's advices. The telegraphic statement from Liverpool caused a good deal of excitement, as soon as the spinners began to appear on 'Change; and under its in fluence, a somewhat startling additional advance was required by many of the sellers. Some of the extreme quotations were, indeed, rather modified in the course of the day; yet, at the close of business, the average rise insisted on, by the trade, may be taken at a farthing par lb. upon the rates of a week ago. In throstle warps, both for shipment and home consump tion, it is a halfpenny. The sales to the manufacturers have rather increased, as have also those to the buyers for the East; but great perplexity has prevailed among the continental merchants, and they can hardly be said to have been in the market at all. On the whole, remarkably little has been done, but that little has been at higher prices (id. to id.); and the spinners have gone away decidedly firm, and appa rently much at ease about selling. Except in long cloths, T's, and domestics, which show no improvement beyond a slightly increased inquiry for ene er two qualities, the effect of the cotton report has been felt in tte goods market. The rise from the prices of this day reek may be stated at lid. to 3d. on shirtings for exportation, and generally at lid. on what are called medium fabrics; but this rise has restricted the opera tions to an inconsiderable amount. At the quotations of this day week a very extensive business might have been effected; but, having sold heavily during the last three weeks, and finding themselves con stantly placed in a worse position, many in a more and more ruinous one, by the continual rise in cotton, both spinners and manufacturers have been more strongly convinced to-day than they were before, that there is nothing for it but higher prices or a diminished produc tion. The course which cotton is taking appears very likely to bring about an extensive recourse to " short time," from sheer necessity, and without any formal agreement among millowners. ROCUDALE, MONDAY.—There is no amendment to re port in the flannel market to-day; the merchants show no disposition to purchase, only for immediate use. This is the time of the year . when the flannel business is usually flat. The wool dealers complain of having little to do, and prices may be stated to be much the same as they were on the preceding Monday. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY. Since OUZ last report manufacturers have been doing current business in suitable descriptions of goods for the season. There is also more inquiry for thrown silks; without, however, any improvement in prices. The dyers are generally better supplied with work than for some weeks past. The raw silk market is quiet, with prices firm. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—WO have great pleasure in being able to report a more active state of things in our market. Light goods have gone off very rapidly. Indeed, so great is the demand that the supply can scarcely be kept up. It is probable we shall have a very lively market next week, in consequence of the_arrival of the American steamer. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.--There has been rather more inquiry to-day for some descriptions of goods, especially for lattings of low quality, which are still very scarce, as the prices offered are not adequate to the cost of pro duction. There is a fair steady business doing in yarn, and the spinners are fully employed. We cannot report any alteration in the state of the wool market, which is far from active, and the quotations remain without varia tion. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The market has been much better since our last report, and manufacturers are still making large deliveries to order, and stocks are low for the time of year. Business has also improved in the warehouses. The shipping houses continue busy, and some large sales have been made for the home trade. BANK OF FRAN CE.

To complete a direct line of railroad communica tion between Boulogne and Venice and Ancona, and consequently, between London and the Adriatic, one only obstacle lies in the way. The chain of Mont Denis and Mont Genevre, running nearly north-east and south-west, would cross such a line, and present, with their elevation of 11,000 feet, an insur mountable bar to any direct and continous railway. From London, as far as Chambery, by the Lyons railroad, all is smooth enough ; nay, that rail can and will, and indeed is now about to, push further, as cending to Mont Meilland, and St. Maurienne (names well known to old post travellers who directed their steps alcng the valley of the Arc, towards Lansle bourg), and by an ulterior effort, it will yet reach higher, as far as Modane, at the foot of the northern crest of the Graian and Cottian Alps. But once there all further progress is arrested, and no train can hope to reach the Italian side to Susa and Turin, and thence to the eastern coasts of the peninsula, unless a subterranean wayfare be pierced throw the snow capped barrier. What a magnificent problem is here presented to the inventive genius of the age ! What splendid re sults to be attained by its successful solution ! Such a problem has been actually under the consideration of the Sardinian Government since August, 1845. Its solution is no longer a matter of doubt. The possi bility of boring through the heart of Mont Genevre, and of linking Chambery with Susa, north and south of that range, is a demonstrated truth. The great tunnel of the Alps is about to become a reality, under the auspices of Victor Emmanuel and the Piedmontese Parliament. The author of this gigantic scheme is the Chevalier Henry Maus, Honorary Inspector of the Genie Civil, the same who devised and executed the great works on the Liege Railroad. After five years of incessant study of this question, and many practical experi ments and calculations, including the invention of new machinery for boring the mountain, this officer made his final report to the Government on the Bth of February, 1849. • A commission was thereupon named on the lath of July, 1849, consisting of several distinguished en gineers, artillery officers, senators, members of the Government, and a professor of geology, to examine and give their opinion on the nature and feasibility of Chevalier Maus' project. That commission, on the Ist of November last, being then under the presi dency of the Minister of Public Works, the Cheva lier Paleocapa, decided unanimously and entirely in favour of the project. Their report, together with that of Chevalier Maus, has recently been printed for private distribution, by order of the Sardinian Go vernment, illustrated by maps and plans, and all the various calculations, not only of expense, but of th e mechanical difficulties also, which this great and striking project presents. An application far a part of the funds required to begin the great tunnel will be made to the Chambers forthwith, and the work, which it is expected will occupy five years, will cost 14,000,000 f. ; while the entire railroad of the Alps, connecting the tunnel with the Cha m b ery ra il way on th e one s id e and w i th that of Susa o n th e ot h er a id e (i n l engt h toget h er 36,565 m e t res , or 201 English miles), will cost 2 1,000,000 f. more, forming a total expense of 35,000,000 f. The great tunnel itself will measure 12,290 metres, of nearly seven English miles in length ; its greatest height will be 19 feet, and its width 25, admitting, of course, of a double line of rail. Its northern entrance is to be at Modane, and the southern entrance at Bardonneche, on the river Mardovine. This latter entrance, being the highest point of the intended line of rail, will be 4,092 feet above the level of the sea, and yet 2,400 feet below the highest or culminating point of the great road, or pass, over the Mont Ce nis. It is intended to divide the connecting lines of rail leading to either entrance of the tunnel into eight inclined planes of about 5,000 metres, or 2i English miles each, worked like those at Liege, by endless cables and stationary engines, but in the present case moved by water power derived from the torrents. The most remarkable part of the project, however, is the newly devised machinery and motive power by which the Chevalier Maus proposes to bore the great tunnel. It is as ingenious as it is new, presenting some extraordinary facts in mechanics which could hardly have been anticipated, but the truth of which has been tested and 'verified by practical essays made with working models of the natural size before the Govern ment commission already mentioned. But these and the consideration of the immense results, social, com mercial, and political, that may be expected to flow from such a gigantic undertaking, in comparison with which the Thames Tunnel and the Britannia bridge become secondary objects, may form the sub ject of another article.— Times. THE REFUGEES AT MALTA. A Blue-book, containing copies and extracts of dispatches between the Governor of Malta and the Secretary of State for the. Colonies, relating to the admission of foreigners into Malta, has been printed by order of the House of Commons. On the 13th of March, 1548, Lord Napier ad dressed a dispatch to the Right Honourable R. More O'Ferrall, Governor of Malta, infaming him that the Neapolitan Government had consented to the expulsion of the Jesuits from Naples (under the pretext of a voluntary departure), and that Malta had been selected in the hope that they would find " that asylum which is never denied by her Majesty's Government to any class or colour of political re fugees." The precepts of humanity contained in the dis patch were acknowledged by the Governor. On the Bth June following, the French steamer Pluton ar rived at Malta from N aples with eight refugees on board, who took a prominent part in the insurrectini of the 15th May (1848). The French admiral has. taken them on board from motives of humanity, but refused to land them in Sicily or Calabria, as they wished, from respect to the principle of strict neutrality in the internal dissen sions of a friendly power. After some demur, they were allowed to land, but (on the same prin ciple of neutrality) passports 'to Sicily were re fused to them. This was the first batch of refugess ; others speedily followed. On the 16th of May (1849) 238 persons, chiefly deserters, arrived at Malta on board the Archimede and Peloro steamers. These did not come under the existing laws regulating the admission of foreigners, the more especially as the Archimede was a Neapolitan vessel of war which escorted the deserters (virtually pri son e rs ) w ith th e humane purpose of saving their lives by landing them at Malta. This led to a correspondence with the Neapolitan Governmen t , a p or ti on o f th e d eser t ers being allowed to land in the Lazaretto, the others to ' remain on board the Peloro until further notiee. A statement of the whole affair was forwarded to Earl Grey, under date of May 17 ; Mr. More O'Ferrall at the same time addressed a dispatch to Prince Satriano as follows : " Your Excellency must be aware that so large a number of persons, placed in their circumstances, cannot obtain a residence or maintenance in this island ; their temporary admission is intended by me as a mark of respect to your Excellency, and to afford time for an appeal to your Excellency's generosity, in the hope that you will extend the amnesty so gene rously granted to the Sicilians, to the misguided men who arrived in the Peloro, and enable me to send them to their country under the guarantee of your Excellency." In reply to Mr. More O'Ferrall's dispatch of the 17th May, Earl Grey replied as follows on the 18th June : 1 Downing -street, o acknowledgewnin g " Sir,—l have " t Neapolitan army, i n of Neapolitan de serters f rom • t h e dispatches reportin g th e arr i va l a t Malta of a number a steamer und er N eapo li t a n Col ou rs, escorted b y a Neapolitan ste amer o f war ; an d I have to acquai n t stre et ih j e u receipt nelB 08f4 your 9. you that her M a j esty ' s G overnme nt ent ire ly appro ve of your proc ee di ngs i n regar d to those ind ividuals. " Upon the general question to which you have called my attention in your separate communication of the 2d instant, as to the impropriety of allowing Malta to become the refuge of the outcasts of all ad• joining countries, I have to acquaint you that her Majesty's Government are very sensible of the incon venience and danger of allowing persons of that description to congregate in Malta, and that we shall be prepared to support you in enforcing any suitable measures which y ou ma y think it necessary to a d op t, either with the view of restricting the number of such persons to be admitted into the island, such as aged men, women, and children, or of removing those persons who may have been already admitted. " As a general rule, the existing regulation to re fuse admission to those persons who cannot show that they are able to maintain thernFelves, should admit of no exc e pti on w hi ch cannot b e j u st ified b y t h e par ticular circumstances of the case. But there cannot be a doubt that every person, or number of persons, whose presence you may deem inconsistent with the maintenance of public tranquillity, or the safety of the island, should be forthwith removed under the exercise of the powers which are for that purpose especially vested in the Governor of .Malta." The existing regulations for the admission of fo reigners into Malta alluded to by Earl Grey as fol lows : INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SUPERINTENDENCE OP FO. REIGNERS IN THE ISLAND OF MALTA. "I. All matters relating t the regulation of fo reigners while resident in this island . rest with th e executive police, a n d, p rev i ous ly to the ir being landed, with the marine police, under the immediate control of Government. " 11. The following rules on this head are to be observed in future : " 1. All foreigners, on landing in this island, must immediately report themselves to the Intendant of Marine Police or his assistant, who will register their names and forward them on to the office of the spector-General of Police ; unless they be persons of high distinction, when they will report themselves to Government direct. " 2. No foreigners of any description coming to this island as passengers on board of any vessel, will be allowed to remain, unless they can procure suffi cient security here for their good behaviour and for their not becoming a burden upon this Government ; such security to be given by the consul of the nation to which they may belong, or by some respectable housekeeper resident in the island, or by the master of the vessel in which they came, provided they mean to return on board the same vessel when she leaves the port. _ _ "a. This security must be in a form prescribed by Government, and be deposited in the office of the In spector-General of Police. "4. Any master of a vessel who may bring passen gers of the above description, and land them, or allow of their being landed, without submitting to the above mentioned conditions, will be obliged to take them back in his own vessel, or to send them back at his own expense, besides paying for their maintenance until an opportunity offers for so doing. " 5. All masters of foreign vessels will be further liable for any foreign seamen,, or marinari di rinforza, on board of their ship, and if any such foreigners shall be landed in this island and left behind, without being able to give sufficient security for their good conduct, &c., they will be detained until an opportu nity offers of sending them off the island, at the ex pense of such master of the vessel; and all masters of Maltese or English vessels will also be liable in the same manner for such foreign seamen, or marinari di rinforza, beyond the complement allowed by law, who may be on their vessels. 6. Any person who shall give security for any foreigners, as above alluded to, will be subject, in the event of such foreigners having no honest means of livelihood, and becoming a charge upon Government, to defray the expense of maintaining the said persons until an opportunity offers of sending them back to their own country, as well as the expense of their passage, and any arrears of police dues they may owe to Government. " 7. Any inn or tavern-keeper, or other person whatsoever, receiving into their houses foreigners not being provided with a regular permit from the police, will be liable to the same penalties and charges as are mentioned in the last paragraph. "8. These regulations will only be acted upon with reference to foreigners who may hereafter arrive in this island; but with regard to those at present here, should complaint be made against any of them, they will be instantly called upon for such securities as above-mentioned ; and unless they can procure the same, they will be forthwith sent out of the island. " 9. The Inspector- General shall take care that all foreigners permitted to reside here submit to the ex isting laws and regulations concerning them, and shall cause them to pay the duties established by Go vernment. " 10. Foreigners having letters of denization, or who may have served his Majesty faithfully, either in the nary or army, for a certain period, to he settled by Government; pensioners from the army and navy, friars, individuals under the age of twenty-one years, forming a family whose head pays, or is duly ex empted from payment, and negroes who have been baptized, will be exempt from police dues, and will be furnished with a certificate to that effect. " 11. No foreigner will be called upon to pay the police dues for residence, unless his stay within the island should exceed two months. " By common , ' of his Honour the Lieutenant-Go vernor." These deserters were subsequently shipped to Al giers, at the request of the Neapolitan Government. On the 15th of July, the French steamer Lycurge arrived from Civita Vecchia, with 124 persons on board; and on the 16th a Greek vessel arrived with 53 more. As none of the consuls could give the usual guarantees, the men were not allowed to land. In a dispatch, dated 20th September, Earl Grey entirely approves of the line of conduct pursued by the Governor of Malta. After remaining eight days in port, the Lycurge sailed. It was this refusal to allow the passengers on board the Lycurge to land which led to a protest on their part, and on the part of the cap tain of the Lycurge. The same conduct was observed towards subsequent arrivals. On the 25th. September, her Majesty's steam packet Antelope arrived from the lonian Islands, having on board M. Manin and General Pepe, with their respective suites. Having passports from the lonian Government, they were all allowed to land under guarantee, with the understanding that they were to take their departure at the earliest opportunity. M. Mania and party sailed on 2d October, on board the French Government steamer Nile, for Marseilles ; and General Pepe and suit also sailed on the same day, on board the French Government steamer Leonidas, for Italy and Marseilles. No. 19 is a letter addressed by Mr. More O'Fer rall to Earl Grey, in consequence of the statements made by Members of Parliament and the public press, charging him with inhumanity towards the political refugees. After quoting the facts given briefly above, Mr. More O'Ferrall denies the accu racy of the statements made, refers to his official dispatches, and shields himself behind the approba. tion of her Majesty's Government. On the 12th December, Earl Grey wrote to signify his full ap proval of the measures adopted by the Governor of Malta, and notifying that the correspondence respect ing the refugees, would be Lid before Parliament. The following dispatch from Earl Grey to Mr. More °Terra), bearing date 25th February, 1850, is important, as containing the latest regulations with respect to the admittance of foreigners into Malta :-- "2. While, on the one hand, her Majesty's Govern ment are anxious not to refuse hospitality in Malta to foreigners who are in difficulties, on the other, it is their duty to take Care that the interests of that island itself are not injured, and that no just cause of offence is given to friendly powers by its being allowed to become a place from whence plots may be carried on against the existing Government of any state in amity with Great Britain. "3. In furtherance of these views I have to instruct you not to prevent the landing in Malta of persons who may take refuge there from political troubles in to comply any of the countries bordering on the Mediterranean, provided such persons are in a situation with the law of the island, which requires that before strangers are allowed to land, they shall give security against becoming a burden upon its resources from their inability to maintain themselves. " 4. The limited size and resources of Malta ren der it absolutely necessary that this should be en forced, since the community might otherwise be ex posed to the endurance of a burden which it could tuol ought d aa land, dp ,r t ev o ve e no b fe though y o e u n r f o r g c e vh d i enyg a s s ph eo ru a ml s g sni e oo n tn e r bt a oe l not bear without great inccn ven i ence ; b u t w hil e find the requi re d secur i ty, i n cases i n w hi ch be satisfi e d th a t e i t h er f rom t h e state o f yf r t a o h u bor i u s ee e , gt I mon law e s a r b ys o their health, or f rom ot h er spec i al c i rcumstances, the indulgence is called for by motives of humanity. "5 : I concur with you likewise, as to the danger and inconvenience of allowing large numbers of strangers to be assembled within the fortifications of Valletta, or even to reside in their immediate neigh bourhood. I have therefore to instruct you on this head, that when foreigners arrive in large bodies, they should only be allowed to land on condition of taking up their residence in such place as you may point out to them, at a distance from the fortifications. They should be assured, that if they violate this con dition, they will be immediately required to leave the island. "6. Lastly, with respect to avoiding the offence which would arise to foreign powers from permitting plots against their governments to be carried on from Malta; you have given good reason for supposing that a want of attention to this particular naturally leads to great injury to the commercial interests of the island. But independently of this consideration, such neglect would be inconsistent with what is due to friendly states. I have therefore to instruct you on this head to exercise the power vested in you by the Order in Council of Ist February, 1843, in order to the removal from the island of every foreigner who shall be proved to have abused its hospitality by avail ing himself of his residence there to carry on corre spondence with persons inhabiting any of the coun tries bordering on the Mediterranean, with a view to the overthrow or disturbance of their existing go vernments, whatever those governments may be. " IMPROVIDENCE OF OPERATIVES.--A correspondent of the Builder says—Too many, it is to be feared, though they may not spend their days at the public-house and gin shop, yet devote their evenings to these places, sacrificing, by this means, not only a large amount of their bard earnings, but their health, the comfort and happiness of their depen dents in many instances—throw away at the same time both the opportunity and the means of self• culture—erect a com plete barrier to their own advancement—and themselves and families have, as their only reward, the humiliating reflection that they are sinking into poverty, neglect, and disgrace, whilst those with whom they once had equal prospects, but who have devoted to self-improvement what the former have sacrificed to Bacchus, are sustaining respectable positions— positions from which they themselves have been effectually excluded by having preferred sensual and temporary gratifi cation to the more lasting blessings of industry, temperance, and frugality. Could our artisans be induced to cast off en tirely the fetters which a love of drink binds about them, we should soon he surrounded by a class of men characterised by intelligence, industry, and skill, and that which is now a lamentable truth, would no longer be so—that" Monday is a bad day for many, though a good one for the publicans."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Police-constables Bayfield and Anthony, of the D division, were charged on remand with h tying extorted 23. from William Rayne, a cab-proprietor and driver, residing at No. 41, Caroline-place, Bayswater, under a threat of charging him (as entered upon the sheet) with wishing to commit an unnatural offence with a person who was in his company. Mr. Bradley attended as before for the prosecution, and Mr. Herring fur the prisoners. Numerous witnesses pro and con. were examined, and the inquiry lasted nearly two hours. The truth of the serious allegation made by the prosecutor was denied in the most positive manner; and it was stated that both the prisoners had ever since they had been in the force conducted themselves remarkably well. Yesterday additional witnesses were brought for ware, and in the course of a long investigation it was shown that the prosecutor had, at different times and to different persons, made statements, some of which varied most materially from others which he had put forth in reference to the transaction. Mr. BROUGHTON ordered a further remand till Tuesday next. SOUTH HARK Louisa Susan Hartley, a young woman,was brought before Mr. A'Beckett upon the charge of having ad ministered a quantity of arsenic to her father, fur the purpose ot poisoning him. Joseph William Hartley deposed as follows :—I am a fellowship porter, and occupy apartments at the Hope, in Gravel-lane, and the prisoner, who is my daughter, has acted as my housekeeper ever since the decease of her mother, six years ago. Between eight and nine o'clock that morning I returned home to my breakfast, and sat down at the table with the prisoner, who had previously poured out the coffee. I took up my cup, and on taking a mouthful I found it had a very strange taste, and remarked the circumstance to her by saying, " Louisa, what have you been doing to my coffee ?" The reply she made to the observa tion was, "I have done nothing to it, father." By this time, however, I was convinced that something of a highly deleterious nature had been mixed up in the coffee, as I found on retaining it a short time in my mouth that it burnt my tongue and lips. Upon this discovery I ■gain addressed myself to the pri soner, who sat , opposite to me sipping her coffee, and said, "Louisa, I am now more confident than ever that you have put poison into my cup, and I believe it to be either arsenic or oxalic acid." She again asseverated that she was totally innocent of such an act, exclaiming that if there was anything in the coffee it might be a little soda, which she might by accident have dropped in while preparing it. I doubted her assertion and said, " Then I shall taste your coffee, to ascertain whether it is like that which you have given me." I then took up the cup out of which she was taking her coffee, and having tasted it found that it was quite different in flavour to mine, and caused none of the unpleasant sensations in the mouth which I have described. I then told her that the coffee she had was not like mine, and added that I should save the contents of my cup, to ascertain what deleterious ingredient had been mixed up with the coffee. I then took my cup off the table, and was about to take it away to another part of the room, when the prisoner made a sudden snatch at it, and got it away from me, and running towards a wasbhand-basin in which I had a short time previ ously washed my hands, dashed the contents of the cup into it, and afterwards rinsed the cup out, ex claiming that as I did not approve of the coffee she had made she should prepare another cup fur me. I told her that I should not have any more, and im mediately took possession of the basin into which she had emptied the cup, saying that I was determined to ascertain the ingredients mixed with the coffee, so satisfied was 1 that they were of a highly poisonous description. She began to cry, and again repeated that she had done nothing to the coffee, but her tears and protestations ot innocence did not prevent me from proceeding forthwith to Guy's Hospital with the view of having the contents of the basin analysed. On my arrival at the institution I had an interview with one of the medical officers of the establishment ; and having described the circumstances that had oc curred at my breakfast that morning, and exhibited the contents of the basin to him, he submitted them to an immediate test by dipping a piece of blue paper into the liquid, and on withdrawing the same it became of a deep pink colour, showing that a considerable portion of arsenic was mixed up with it. The complainant added, there must have been at least half a pint of water in the basin before the prisoner snatched the cup out of his hand and threw the contents in amongst it; therefore what was pre viously in the cup must necessarily have been of a more powerful description than that which was left in the basin. Mr. ATEMEETT inquired of the complainant whether he had had any quarrel or words with the prisoner to account for the alleged attempt on his life. Complainant—None whatever ; but of late she has not conducted herself properly. She has, without my authority or permission, pledged several articles of my dress when I have been from home, although she was in no want of money.. I have constantly ex pressed my disapprobation of such conduct to her, but whether this caused her to act in the manner I have described I cannot tell. Mr. A ' BECKETT asked if the prisoner had ever exhibited any symptoms of derangement of mind ? The complainant, in reply, said that she certainly had evinced a very different temper and disposition to the rest of the family, and that he really believed her mind was affected. Mr. ATECKETT (addressing the prisoner) said you have heard the statement made by your father. Do you wish to say anything, or to give any explanation to account for the difference of the flavour of the coffee you provided for his breakfast and that which you had ? Tne prisoner, who stood sobbing at the bar during the examination, shook her head, and said that she had nothing to say. Mr. A'BECKETT said that, before he should pro ceed any further in the investigation of so serious a charge, it would be necessary to have the testimony of the medical gentleman who analysed the contents of the basin; and for that purpose he should remand the prisoner for further examination. Yesterday the prisoner was brought up before Mr. A'Beckett for re-examination, when Policeman Ryan, 476 M, produced a note from Mr. Taylor, Professor of Chemistry at Guy's Hospital, to whom the contents of the basin had been sent; into which the prisoner threw the cup of coffee when her father discovered that something of a deleterious nature was mixed up in it. The note stated that the mixture in question had been submitted to the test of analyzation but that the process would necessarily require some days before it was completed. Under these circumstances, Mr. A ' BECKETT said that a further remand must take place, and he in quired if any further evidence tending to criminate the prisoner in the alleged charge of attempting to administer poison to her father was likely to be brought forward. Policeman Ryan said that subsequently to the ex amination that took place at that court on the previ ous day he had instituted a searching examination of the apartments occupied by the complainant and his daughter, for the purpose of discovering whether he could find any ingredient of a poisonous description therein. He, however, failed in finding any, but in the course of his inquiries he had an interview with a young woman who was well acquainted with the pri soner, and he had derived information from her which was of an important description. Mr. A'BECKETT said that he should grant a sum mons to compel the attendance of the witness, and that in the meantime he should remand the prisoner for a week. In the course of the day Maynard, one of the turnkeys of Horsemonger-lane Gaol, brought up George Spell, Hugh Conway, James Maxwell Bry son, James Scouton, and Samuel Morgan, five men who, with others, were convicted at the September assizes, 1848, at the Central Criminal Court, of being engaged in the Chartist riots that occurred at that period. The prisoners abovenamed were sentenced to two years' imprisonment each in the above gaol, besides the infliction of heavy fines; but, in consequence of representations in their behalf, their sentences have been commuted, and a communication was addressed to Mr. Keene, the governor of the county gaol, di recting the discharge of the prisoners on their pro curing bail to keep the peace for five years each. It was for this purpose the accused persons were brought to this court, and, the requisite sureties having been entered into, they were accordingly set at liberty.

TIIE NEW StEAM-SHIP ACIA.—The last and greatest of the splendid fleet of steamers which carry the mails between this port and America, the Asia, will arrive here from the Clyde on the 25th inst. The history of ocean steam navigation presents nothing equal to the success of the magnificent steamers fitted out by the house of Messrs. M'lver and Co., of this town. The regularity, not less than the rapidity of their passages, is surprising, even in this age of mechanical wonders, and their influence on the trade of the two countries is extremely favourable to commercial pursuits, for their appearance can be calculated on almost to the very day. The Asia, which is the last, is also the finest of this line, and will take her departure for the Western world in the course of the following month. Every triumph of mechanical skill and ingenuity lessens the distance between us and our enterprising cousins ou the American continent. --Liverpool LIA.BILITIEN.

ASIDE.—The seven-mile walking match, in which Charles Westhall, " the Champion," and Win. Spooner, to whom the former gave one minute and a half start, was brought to an issue on Tuesday, at Walton-on- Thames, about a quarter of a mile from the Walton station on the South-Western Railway. The men walked on a measured half-mile, thus turning 13 times to complete the 7 miles. At starting the betting was 6to 4 on Westhall, which decreased to 5 to 4 and evens, when nearly at the end of three miles he bad scarcely gained a score of yards; soon after, at 3} to 4, however, be began rapidly to lesien the distance between himself and Spooner. At 4 miles, he bad gained 90 yards on the distance covered in the flop given. At 41 m il e s h e h a d made another 30 or 40 yards; at 51 Spooner seemed fagged a little, and Westhall spurted away till at nearly 6i he got close to him, and going up, after turning for the last time, got by his man, and the game was up, Westhall winning in 58 min. 15 sec. by 30 yards.

A. BIBULOUS JURYMAN.—An amusing scene oc curred in our session court on Tuesday, during the trial of Anlrew Peterkin, charged with uttering counterfeit coin. Two witnesses had been examined, when it was discovered that a juryman, who had kept up a series of sotto voce com mentaries upon the evidence, and which was received by his colleagues as satisfactory proofs of his legal acumen, was most indubitably drunk. The fact was notified to the Learned Recorder, who said another juryman must be sworn, ar d de sired the indiscreet bacchanalian to leave the box. With an air of forensic gravity that was uncommonly ludicrous, he replied, " My Lord, I am a sworn juryman, and by the Bth George the Second you can't get rid of me —you can't turn me out." The Court was nearly convulsed with laughter, but submitted the point to the bar, who decided that it was allowed by law to withdraw a juror in cases of felony, so it was also permissible in cases of misdemeanour. The Re corder repeated his request that Mr. M. would give place to a sober juryman. " What for?" defiantly exclaimed Mr. M. The Recorder explained. Mr. M. persisted in remaining, and the exertions of a police-constable were called into requisition to remove him. The Recorder intimated that he would be fined 51. for his misconduct; but we understand that he in tends trying the effect of a humble apology, with a view of procuring a mitigation or a remission of the penalty.—,Bristol Mercury. I \i 'e AAA. • ~ v C:O. MURDER OF THE COUNTESS GORLITZ. Most of our readers must remember the circum stances connected with the death at Darmstadt of the Countess of G, - glitz, and the suspicion which was at tached for some time to the Count, her husband, who holds the post of Chamberlain to the Grand Duke. This suspicion was caused principally by the earnest ness with which the Count attempted to pre vent a dissection of the body, but that was fully accounted for subsequently by evidence showing that the Countess had so great a horror of dissection that she had solicited her husband frequently to promise that, in the event of her dying before him, h e r re mains should not be exposed to such a proceeding, and had made this a special injunction in her will. If any suspicion, however, had continued to attach itself to the Count, it has been fully removed by a trial of the murderer at Darmstadt, which, after lasting more than a fortnight, has just been terminated. It may be necessary, even fur those who paid attention to the case when it was before the public more than a year ago, to relate the leading facts briefly. The Countess, who was in possession o; i a handsome fortune inde pendently of that of her - husband, was a woman of unbounded charity, but of an eccentric character. lib. had for some years resided in apartments of the house separated from those t.f her husband, with whom, how ever, she was ion the best:term,, visiting him from time to time, and receiving his visits. She had always considerable sum of money in her secretaire, and had also a rich collection of jewels. She had caused extra locks to be placed on her secretaire, her drawers, and the doors of, her rooms, and opened the outer door of her apartment to her husbind and the confidential servants. One evening, on the return of the Count from the palace of the Grand Duke, where he had been dining, he went as usual to see the Countess be fore retiring to rest, but could not obtain admittance, and soon afterwards an alarm was raised that a fire had broken out in the apartment of the Countess. A locksmith was sent for; the outer door was broken open ; thesecretaire in the sitting- room of the Countase was on fire, and she was found lying dead on the floor, with her body partly consumed. At this time no sus , picion was entertained of her having been murdered. It was at first supposed that the secretaire had t a ken fire from the boogie ; but subsequently, as this alone could not account for the carbonization of a part of the head and body of the Countess, it was imagined that she had perished from spontaneous combustion. When suspicion fell upon the Count, it arose entirely from the anxiety that he displayed to prevent an autopsy from which it was imagined that he might have administered poison, and then attempted to de stroy the body to prevent detection. N othing but the absence of motive for the crime and the well' known affection which had subsisted between him and the deceased prevented his being sent to trial. Some time had elapsed, and this horrible affair was still involved in mystery, when circumstances occurred to throw suspicion upon the valet of the Count, John Stauff, who occasionally waited upon the Countess. it was proved that on the evening of the calamity, and whilst the Count was at the palace of the Grand Duke, he had on various pretexts induced the other servants of the household to go out, and had remained alone in the house for nearly two hours, with the exception of a visit to the palace to ascertain whether the Count was there, for the evident purpose of convincing him' self that he could commit his intended crime with impunity. Another circumstance to excite suspicion was that the keys of the outer doors of the apartment of the Countess - were not to be found, thus proving that some person in the house must have used and then concealed them. It was supposed that money and jewellery belonging to the Countess had been removed, but of this there was no positive proof in the early part of the investigation. A considerable quantity of jewellery remained, and the Count was, not able to say what was missi ng . When Stauff bad been arrested new circumstances came to light. It sire! proved that he had sent articles of jeweller,' to his father, Henry Stauff, and that be had charged his brother James to bury sale jewellery at the foot of a tree. Many of the article' found there were proved to have been the pre perty of the Countess. Henry and James Stauff were therefore also arrested, and the three were brought last month for trial before the tribunal of Darmstadt' The evidence on this occasion left no doubt of the guilt of John Stauff, and there could be no doubt that his father and brother knew that he had ob tained the property by foul means, but there wise no' thing to allow that they had been directly or indi rectly parties to the murder. It was a l so prove?, that, after the murder of the Co un t ess , J o h n Stant`, had purchased some verdi g ri s , an d m i xe d it wit" some sauce which was being prepared in the kitchen for the Count, with the intention of poisoning hint: The medical evidence at this trial was curious and interesting. Some of the most em i nen t phy s iciansot Germany, and Baron Liebig, the celebrated chemist , were desired by the Court to give their opinion as to, the way in which th e d ea th o f t h e Countess bs", been caused—wh e th er s h e b a d b een b urne d intentionally or accidentally, and whether spun' taneous combustion in her case was pro' bable, The medical men performed several ex periments on dead bodies exposed to fire, placing burning furniture, a n d even a fat simile of the sear" taire, in a closed room, to ascertain whether the ex tensive carbonization of the body of the Countess could have been produced by accident, and they re ported positively to the contrary. On the question of spontaneous combustion, Baron lAebig, an d the other scientific men who joined in the report, de; dared not only that it w as i m p oss ibl e i n th e case °` the Countess, but that spontaneous combustion of th e human body in any case was impo s sibl e . They de clared that the ordinary belief on this subject was a delusion; that they had carefully examined the evi: dente in all cases of spontaneous combustion tha t had been reported, and found it all so defictiv.r! as not to weigh for an instant against their conviction of the physical i m p oss ibili ty o f snob an occurrence. The o n ly p o int on w hi c h t h e me dics l men and chemists differed—but that was of no 0 ; portance as regarded the charge against John Sten!: —was as regarded the degree of danger to hurce: life in the verdigris introduced by hi m i n t o th e sau c e intended fur the Count. O ne c h em i s t d ec l are d, O t instance, that if he bad taken the same it wo uld no t have injured him seriously, as th e s tr eng th o f the ,ver digris had been in a great degree car ri e d o ff by ebtle . lition ; another, on the contrary, declared as the 1 6 _ cult of several experiments th a t th e s t r e ng th of tP O , poison was materially in c r ease d by th e e bullition' The whole trial was remarkable for the skill and jilt: partiality evinced by the President, and the anxiety which was evinced by the Court to elicit the tro . t,l without having recourse to any of th os e obj e ctionabl e means which have sometimes been witnes s ed in tD A courts on the Continent. John Stauff was fount; guilty of the murder, and sentenced to imprisontne,"., for life. His father and brother w e r e found guiltY!'; a minor degree, and only sentenced to a few month) imprisonment.
