Mrs. Elizabeth Woods, housekeeper to a gentleman named Durbage at Frimley, a few days before the murder purchased two dishes of Hiram Smith. Mrs. Sarah Glazier, of the Wharf public-house near Prim remember a few days before the murder of Mr. Hol lest two persons came to my house. Smith very much re sembles one of those men, and Samuel Harwood resembles the other. Charles Weston, a person in the service of a grocer named Parmel, at Guildford, proved that two or three days before the murder the prisoner Jones came to his master's shop and purchased a pennyworth of gunpowder. Several witnesses deposed to having seen the prisoners and Hiram Smith on the road to Frimley on the night of the murder. Elizabeth Moll, a widow residing at Frimley, about a mile from Mr. Hollest's house,• proved the finding of a piece of bread and beef in a ditch near a pathway from Frimley to Guildford. George Everett, keeper to Mr. Burrell of Frimley, proved the finding of a silver cup, two green baize masks, and the screw part of a centrebit. John Parker remembered, on Saturday, the 28th of Sep tember, passing the gate at Mr. Holiest's house, and saw near the cypress tree a telescope and a decanter, which he picked up and took to the house and delivered to Mrs. Hol iest. He found there, also, a screwdriver. Oswald Jackman worked in September last on the railway between Guildford and Woking, and was on the bridge near the railway at Stranger's-common on the morning of the 28th of September last. At half-past six o'clock he saw two men on the footpath, whom he thought to be Samuel Har wood and Jones. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Pattie has the following:— is announced that the Moniteur will publish to-morrow the names of the members of a new Cabinet destined to rally round the flag of order all the elements of the old majority. Ihe political atmosphere is as variable as the wind, and as changeable as the waves. We do not, therefore, guarantee that this news, which, at the hour we write (four o'clock), we believe to be true, will not have ceased to be so is the court,. of the evening. But, however, the situation of political affairs renders probable the formation of a definitive Ministry, for it is necessary." The Messager,:on the contrary, declares that the nego. tistions are not more advanced than they were a fort night since. The C.nstitutionnel has " pronounced," in anticipa tion, against an Odilon-Barrot Ministry. The Moniteur of yesterday does not contain the ex pected announcement of the formation of a new Ministry.

The Royal Italian Opera opens on Thursday with Semi. ramide, Madame Grisi appearing as the Assyrian Queen, Maddle. Angri, as Arsace, and Signor Salvatore as Asses. Signor Salvatore has never, we believe, appeared in this country, but has achieved a reputation as an excellent bari tone singer at the San Carlos, at Naples, and at the Grand Opera at Barcelona, to which latter establishment, be it re membered, we are indebted for Signor Tamberlik. Signor Salvatore is engaged as, we presume, the successor to Tarn burini, who is no longer a member of the Royal Italian Opera corps. The other baritones engaged are Signor Ronconi and Signor Rommi. The corps operatifue is, with very few exceptions, the same as last mien. Madame Grisi, Madame Castellan, and Madame Viardot, will all appeir in the course of the season, and a new so prano, Mademoiselle Guiseppina Morra, is engaged. Made.. moiselle Angri replaces Mademoiselle De Meric as the con tralto, a change which tends greatly to strengthen the corps, and Mademoiselle Vintale, a new contralto, is to make her Herr first appearan ce i n th i s country. That most useful artiste, last season, an d Tamberlik,Mademoiselle Cotti, re t a i ns h e r position :as ssconeles‘d&sda• The tenon are the sam e as l vizSign°6 and Mari a% bassiEnrico p r t i w , eLuig have H i Meer Formes a n d Si gn e r i Tagliafico. i, Polonini, Gregorio, Fenari Rache, and; Bianchi, the last of whom is from the Italian Opera at Berlin, and has never appeared in England. Costa, of course, continues as director of music, composer, and conductor ; and tke or chestra is the same as heretofore. The military band is to be under the superintendence of Mr. Godfrey, and Mona. Alexandre is the maitre de ballet. is during the last season, the performance of ballets will be confined to such as are incidental to operas or to short divertissements. Messrs. Grieve and Telbin continue to be the scenic artists, a sufficient guarantee of the perfect manner in which the scenic department will be conducted. The repertoire of the Royal Italian Opera consists of 33 operas, and each of the grandest works in the rep er t o i re will be performed, at least, once during the season of 1851. In addition we are promised that during the present season, of the following eight operas, five (at least) will be produced, viz., a new Opera, Auber (founded on Auber's new grand opera, r En fant Prodigue, now performing with uninterrupted success at the Academie Royale, at Paris); Sappho, Gounod (a grand new opera, composed expressly for Madame Viardot, and about to be produced at the Academie Royale, at Paris); 11 nauto Magico, Mozart (for the first time at the Royal Italian Opera); Les Marlys, Donizetti (a grand opera, com posed expressly for the AcaGmie Royale, in Paris, for the first time in England); Euryanthe, Weber (for the first time in England); La Vestale, Spontini (for the first time at the Reyal Italian Opera); Fiddle, Beethoven (for the first time on the Italian stage in England); Faust, Sphor (f or t h e fi rst t i me in England). Of these c peras, II Prodigo (the Italian ver. ion of L'Enfant Prodigt.e), by Auber, and Sappho, by Gounod, are the ex clusive property of the directors of this establishment, and will both be produced during the ensuing season. Such is the programme of the Royal Italian for the season of 1851. and should only five of the promised operas be produced it will be a brilliant one. LO COMOTIVE ENGINE.—The first of the new engines, built by Messrs. Robert Stephenson and Co., for the South-Ea s t ern • Railway, to work their Great Exhibition traffic, made an experimental trip yesterday from London to F olkestone. The en g i ne , w ith a fi rs t an d secon d- c l ass car riage attached, conveying Mr. Robert Stephenson, M.P.; Mr. James M'Gregor, chairman of the South-Eastern Rail- Ivay ; Mr. Peter W. Barlow, engineer in chief; and Mr. James Cudworth, locomotive superintendent, started from the London-bridge terminus at 12 15 F.M. No trial of speed could take place until the Red-hill junction was passed, a Brighton train being in front; but from this point to Ash ford the journey was performed, without stopping, at an average speed of sixty miles an hour. The trial proved highly satisfactory, the engine running at the greatest velocity without the slighest oscillation, and even with less motion than when travelling at a lower rate of speed. The engine is constructed on Crampton's patent; the inside cylinders are 15 inches in diameter, with a 22. inch stroke; the driving wheels six feet in diameter. We understand that Mr. R. Stephensei expressed himself much pleased with the engine and the speed at which the joarri,y Ras performed. The shareholders of the Provincial Bank of Ire. land held a special meeting at the bank dikes in Old Broad street yesterday, when Matthias Wolverley Attwood, E sq ., and Edward Fletcher, EN., were unanimou sl y elected di rectors of the bank, in the place of G. E. Robinson, M.P., and Alfred Thorp, aq., both deceased. The accounts of the state of trade in the provinces during the past week are satisfactory. At Manchester the market has been steady; in the woollen districts there has been a tendency to improvement, and at Birmingham there is full employment. The Irish linen markets are without alteration, continued indisposed,worse.

AERIAL FLIGHT OF THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK. HASTINGS, Ai ARcii 31.—The borough of Hastings was this day entertained by a spectacle unparalleled in the me mory of that respectable individual " the oldest inhabitant." Tor some days past " the veteran aeronaut," Mr. Charles Green, was known to be in the locality preparing for an aerial flight across the British Channel. For this purpose the Victoria balloon was established in the gasworks, wait ing for an opportunity to rise. Rumour announced that a certain " Mr. Smith" was to ascend with the renowned Mr. Green, and make a descent—not upon the realms of Bruns wick, but upon the Gallic shore. The reason for this novel mode of crossing the water was said to reside in the stomaoh of the said " Mr. Smith," who was a victim to the distress ing malady of sea-sickness, to avoid which he had deter mined upon trusting his life to the tender mercies of a balloon. For some days the wind was unpropitious, and popular feeling was agitated with every variation of the aerial car rents. Occasionally" Mr. Smith" was to be seen riding out with his secretary and a friend or two, and rumcur did not scruple to ascribe to the very romantic-looking gentleman, with coal-black whiskers and moustache, a title somewhat more dignified than that by w hi c h h e chose to be " called" upon at the Victoria Hotel, St. Leonard's. The local News very discreetly humour e d th e f anc y of " Mr. Smith," lest, by publishing in print the title of the incognito, the kuscep.. tible subject should be scared away. This morning the wind blew a breeze from the north, and at a quarter to eight the process of inflation commenced in the immediate vicinity of the gasworks. A tide of spectators ' very soon set in, and a speculative innkeeper paid the town crier to announce to the inhabitants that th e " Royal Victoria balloon" would ascend at ten o'cloc k. Inasmuch as the car was not affixed till nearly one o clock, this h a d the effect of keeping a thirsty multitude in t he neighborhood of the land lord's tap for the space of about three hours. An immense number of spectators congregated upon the Castle-hill, which overlooks the gasworks, and in the valley there was a crowd equally large. In addition to the outdoor beholders lof the scene, a considerable portion of the inhabitants of Hast ings was able to witness the proceedings from their windows. The wind prevailed from th e nort h and nor h north le: t . t having a westward tendency,laandday way becomitningesoamn-dewahilaste-elmigeedsht a nd variable at midd ay. , The gas w as o f exce ll ent quality,, but flowed in slowly. A t l ength the meter marked a flow of gas, and the supplyociß somewhat slowly. about 32,500 f eet of was then stopped. The balloon, however, Green proceeded li'aestpilrlccsomdeed to fit p somewhat flaccid. At one o'clockn his car. Ha had provided an apparatus for enabling him to skim over the water at a fixed elevation. A gutta-percha line, above 200 feet long, had three logs of wood secured to it at intervals near its extremity. The grapnel was attached to two me tallic air vessels, sufficient to enable it to float upon the water. Bladders of air were provided to be attacked to the grapnel line to aid it in floating. At length, after divers trials to ascertain the buoyancy of the huge machine, the aeronautic captain pronounced all to be ready. The crowd (which behaved with a degree of order highly creditable) was ordered to make way for " Mr. Smith," who presently came upon the scene in the person of his Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick, accompanied by a German baron and a Spanil gentleman. Clad in a suit of oilskin, and coming upon the crowd " all of a rush," the redoubtable " Smith" elicited a general exclamation of, " Well, he is a fine fellow !" The " fine fellow" got into the car, the balloon was released, and up went Mr. Green and his passenger in admirable style, standing away to t h e south-east at a moderate 'pace and remaining in sight for the balloon partially entered above half an hour, the moment of flight being 23 minutes to descend, and, when last seen, put one e'olock. Soon after leaving the earth a cloud, but presently began was only at a slight elevation from the surface of the water. The intention of Mr. Green wa s to let his logs and grapnel Calais, ' an or took float upon the sea, so t hat he might b e a b le to ma i ntain - an uniform level without loss of ballast or gas. Whether " Mr. Smithd his captain p a t ain westerlylan ded e at ur r D e a i ?Fo e ; t E h t e a G pl e e r s m ,B an Ocean, remains or remains to be seen.

On the 6th of February, in consequence of information given by one of the lodgers, the house was searched, and the body of the deceased, whose head was frightfully mutilated by blows inflicted by a cleaver, was found in a coal cellar. The female prisoner was at once taken into custody, but the male prisoner, who bad ab sconded, was traced to Dublin, where he had enlisted in the East India Companies Service, and from thence to London, where he was apprehended.

(Incorporated ander 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap goached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against less for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this - view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fltty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have seen in force for three years. lasurances against Lose by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Pronerty on moderate terms.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER -SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTEI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication:— During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2601.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1249, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Pelicks, amounting to 52,0631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. Gs. gixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,048/., upon which 3201. 31. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of Juno last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125. 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 11e. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411.

The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur .de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of. the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. 110111 E ClRCUlT.—Kingston, March 31. CROWN COURT.—(Before 11Ir. Baron PARKS.) THE FRIMLEY MURDER. NEW WORK, Edited by ELIOT WARBURTON, Esq. Now ready, In 2 vols. Sro.. with Portraits, 21s. bound, M ,D EAIOIRS OF lIIS CO HO RACE lES WALPOLE, Including numerous Original Letters, chiefly from Strawberry 11111 The trial of the three men charged with the murder of the Rev. Mr. Hol'est at Frimley, having been appointed for this morning, the utmost anxiety was manifested to hear the proceedings. It was arranged that the court should not be opened until ten o'clock, but as early as eight the doors of the court-house were literally besieged by an anxious crowd. At ten o'clock the Learned Judge took his scat on the bench, and the prisoners, Levi Harwood, 29, Samuel Har wood (his cousin), 25, and James Jones, 29, were placed at the bar. The indictment charged them with having, on the 27th of Sep , ember, 1850, at the parish of Ash, feloniously made an assault upon George Edward Holiest, and that they dis charged a pistol at him cont -iining a substance called a mar ble, and thereby gave him a mortal wound of which he lan guished until the following day, and then died. The prisoners all pleaded not guilty. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Robinson appeared for the Crown. The prisoners were separately de fended by Mr. Ballantine, Mr. Charnock, and Mr. Follett. Mr. CHAMBERS, in opening the case for the prosecution, said it had been thought advisable to admit as a witness for the Crown a person who was concerned in the dreadful crime, and when the jury had heard the statement he would make, and the evidence that would be adduced in corrobora tion of it, he was certain they would entertain no doubt that the charge against the prisoners was fully established, and that they would feel it their duty to return a verdict of guilty. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state to the jury the law with regard to the testimony of accomplices, and the corroboration which was required to be given of their evidence ; and having briefly narrated the facts of the case, the following evidence was adduced : Mrs. Caroline Holiest examined by:Mr. CLARKSON—I am the widow of the Rev. George Edward Holiest, the vicar of Frimley. On the night of the 27th of September, last year, we were residing at the Grove-house, Frimley. Mr. Holiest went to bed about half-past ten, and I retired - to the bed room about five minutes to eleven. I locked the parlour door before I went up-stairs. The staircase door and the bedroom door were not locked. The bedroom door opened on my side of the bed. The curtains of the bed were open at the foot of the bed. We used to burn a light at night. A little before three o'clock in the morning I was awakened by an increase of light in the room, and heard the voices of men at the foot of the bed. My hus band was also awakened, and we both got out of bed at the same moment. At the moment I was getting out of bed I saw two men in the room, and one of them called out to me to be still, and put his hand upon my knee. That man had a pistol in his hand—in his right hand. Ile held the pistol close to my face. The other man also had a pistol in his hand, and he pointed it at my husband, and said that if he resisted he would blow his brains out. The man who was standing by me also told me that he would blow my brains out if I made any noise. I noticed the voice of this man. After this I attempted to get out of bed to ring the bell, when the man who was on my side of the bed laid hold of me, and forced me upon the floor. This man had a light coloured mask upon his face. The other man also bad a mask upon his face. The mask appeared of a darker colour. I tried to free myself from him, but was unable to do so. I think the same man was about me all the time. I knew him by a peculiarity in his voice—a sort of squeaking voice. While I was upon the ground I beard the report of a pistol in the room, on my husband's side of the bed. He was out of bed at the time. I could not see the flash of the pistol in consequence of the bed curtains being drawn. I did not observe what became of the second man I had first seen. I was sitting upon the floor when the pistol was discharged, and the man was standing over me, with the pistol in his hand. After the pistol was dis charged I got upon my knees, and then upon my feet, and struggled across the room towards Mr.Hollest's side. While the man was still holding me, I managed to get hold of a hand bell that was on the fender, and rang it. I then observed my husband struggling with two men near the fireplace. After I had rung the bell, the two men left Mr. Holiest, and went out of the room, and my husband went into the dress ing-room to get a gun, which was always kept there loaded. The other man followed his companions almost immediately after Mr. Holiest went out of the room. In a very few mo ments Mr. Holiest returned to the bedroom, and he exclaimed " The fellow has shot me !" I bound up the wound, and did what I could to staunch the blood. This occurred on the morning of Saturday, the 28th of September, and on the Monday following I saw the prisoner Levi Harwood at my own house in custody. I heard his voice upon this occasion, and I recognised it as being the same as that of the man who had acted towards me in the way I have described. It was my custom to receive subscriptions for the Frimley National School, and a few days before this occurred I had received a quantity of copper money from the schoolmistress. Caroline Bullpen, and amongst this money there was a penny token. I have since seen that token in the presence of Inspector Hollington, and I now recognise it as the same one that I re ceived on the Saturday before the robbery. Among other things that I lost on this night was a gold watch, which was taken from my dressing-table. I had also noticed among the coppers that there was one which had the name of Lloyd upon it in rather large capitals. An old-fashioned gold watch had als ) been taken from the dining-room, as well as some wine and spirits from the cellaret. A cloak and two coats were also taken from the passage. The cloak was afterwards found upon the door steps, and two dresses, which had been taken from a spare bed-room, were wrapped up in it. A telescope and a decanter were brought to me on the same morning by a carpenter in the village named Parker. All these articles were the property of my husband. Cross examined—l was awakened suddenly, and I imme diately observed two men standing at the foot of the bed. Mr. William Holiest, my husband's brother, has since shown me two green baize masks. I said upon one occasion that both the men I saw looked like sweeps. Levi Harwood is the man who struggled with me, and I came to that conclu sion from his voice and general appearance. The man, who ever he was, had abundant opportunity for shooting me if he had been so mind-d. I thought that Smith was the man who was struggling with my husband, and who shot him. I think so still. Mr. BALLANTINX —You still believe he was the man who shot your husband ? Mrs. Holiest—l certainly do. That is my deliberate opinion given upon oath. By Mr. CHARNOCK—The fatal affray lasted but a very short time, not more than seven or eight minutes. I have never been asked to speak to any other person than Levi Harwood and Smith, and I believe that the former was struggling with me, and that Smith was the man who was struggling with my husband. By the COURT—I heard the reports of firearms. I don't know whether the first was a pistol or a gun. I ascertained afterwards that Mr. llollest's gun was discharged. Mr. 11. Davis, examined by Mr. ROBINSON—I am a sur geon, residing near Frimley. In consequence of information I received on the morning of the 28th of September, I went to Mr. Hollest's house. I found him in bed, and with a gun-shot wound about an inch below the navel. I attended him until his death, which occurred at one o'clock on the fol lowing day. I made a post-mortem examination, and dis covered in the coats of the abdomen the marble which I now produce. The injury deceased received was undoubtedly the cause of death.

Some men hoard their wealth, and do nobody good, While by others it's foolishly spent ; But MOSES, who long by the public have stood, Remember why money was sent ; By commanding the markets, they buy a large stock Of the best, when the prices are cheap, And they always take care that the public who flock To their mart, shall the benefit reap. Thus the wealth that to some folks would be of no use, Is employed for the good of mankind, For MOSES and SON in their buying profuse, To deal fairly are always inelined. What they buy is the best, and its made up in style, And they pay for a thing - when it's done ; The smallest of profits content them the while, They sell filty to any shop's one. See the price at which MOSES will sell a geod coat, Or a vest, or a hat, or a shawl, Or trowsers, or boots, or a habit, and note, They are cheaper and better than all. Then MOSES and SON, may they long keep their health, And of money the benefit reap, For they share with the public the use of their wealth, And supply them with clothes, good and cheap.

I then saw my master, but at that time I did not know he was wounded. Upon going down stairs I found that the thieves had got into the house by the scullery window. I after wards looked over the premises on the outside, and on the gravel walk near the front door I saw the prints of naked feet, which went in the direction of the lane to the entrance gate. I also saw at the front-gate the appearance as though some one bad slipped down. Upon the lawn I found an umbrella, and also two pieces of stocking. I also found a piece of handkerchief over the scullery window. I gave all these articles afterwards to Biddlecomb, the con stable. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Eleanor Vanner—l was housemaid in the family of the deceased. On the Tuesday before this occurrence I remem ber a man coming to the house with dishes for sale. Hiram Smith was that man. I did not purchase anything of him. He asked me for something to eat, but I did not give him anything. I had fastened all the shutters and windows be fore I went to bed on the night of the robbery. About three o'clock on the following morning I was awoke by the report of firearms, and when I went down stairs I found the rooms in a state of confusion, and the property in them disturbed. I found some pieces of green baize and an exploded gun near my master's bed-room door, and also an old piece of hand kerchief. Hiram Smith was the next witness called. He wore the same forbidding, senseless expression as when on examination before the magistrates, combining in a remarkable degree the slight, active figure of the accomplished burglar, with a cast of countenance at once cunning, cowardly, and cruel. For a moment, on entering the witness-box, he looked abashed and unable to raise his eyes or to confront the furious glances which his associates darted at him from the dock, but by degrees his confidence returned, and it was quite remarkable to observe the cool, easy style in which he surrendered himself to the examination-in-chief, and the half petulant air of injured innocence with which he replied to the searching interrogatories of the counsel for the accused. He said—Richard Trowler is my real name, and I am a labourer. On the 27th of September last I lived at the Wheatsheaf public house in Guildford, and Jones lodged in the same house. Levi Harwood put up at the Swan beer-shop in Gower-lane. I did not know where Samuel Harwood lived. Some days before the robbery (on Tuesday) I and Samuel Harwood went to Frimley expect ing to see a fight. Jones gave me two dishes to take and find out where the clergyman lived, but did not tell me why. Samuel Harwood did not go into Frimley, I called at about sixteen houses, and at last found out where the clergyman lived. I did not sell the dishes there, but I did at a little low house on Frimley.green. I saw 2:female servant at the clergyman's. I met Samuel Harwood where I left him, and we went into the Wharf public-house bard by. We had a pot of beer, two pennyworth of bread, and a pennyworth of butter. After this we went towards Guild ford, Samuel parting company with me at Woodbridge. I saw Jones the same evening, and he asked me if I had found out where the cleegytnan lived, to which I said "Yes." That was all that passed on the subject then. The same night Jones asked me if I would go to Frimley ; that him and Sam were going; and I said I would go too. 'Nothing was said as to what it was for, and it was agreed that who everfwas first on the road should wait for the rest. On Fri day evening, at half-past five, I and Jones left the Wheat shea', I going first with a halfquartern loaf and half a pound of cheese. I looked down by the station and across the fields, and caught sight of Jones ahead of me, under Woodbridge hill. I never saw anything of the two Harwoods until I had got to within two and a half or three miles of Frimley, on the top of a hill which leads on to a common. We were there all four together, about nine or half-past nine o'clock. Levi llarwood then loaded two pistols, which he had in his pocket, with marbles. Jones asked him what he had got to put in them, and he said that he had three stone marbles one was rather larger than the other two, but they would fit the barrels. We all were standing close together, and must have heard what was said then. He asked for a piece of paper, which I forget whether I or Sam gave him. When the pistols were loaded Levi put one in his pocket, and gave one to Jones. I had the baize with which the masks were made. Jones made his . , and I made mine, and no others were made. Jones carried a small parcel, which he said contained a white Guernsey. We then went on towards Frimley. Levi, Harwood, and Jones went first, and Saul and I remained 200 yards on the other side of the bridge, where I left him on Tuesday. We remained there five or six minutes, and when we got in Frimley we found the other two standing under a tree on a little bit of green in front of Mr. Robert's house. It was then between half-past 10 and 11 o'clock. While we were there I cut some of the bread and cheese I bad. Jones and Levi Harwood went round Mr. Hollest's house, and then came back and fetched me and Samuel. I went to the back of the House and left Samuel standing under a cypress in front. I pulled off my shoes near the scullery window, and Jones and Levi took off theirs and carried them to Samuel Harwood. Mr. M. CHAMBERS—Did they wear their stockings? Wit ness—l never saw Jones with stockings, and I had no feet to mine in summer time. Samuel had his shoes and stock ings on. There had been a window troken before I arrived there, but I could not say who broke it. I got into the scullery. Mr. M. CHAMBERS—How came you to get in ? Witness —Being the smallest I got my hand and leg through, and they pushed me in as well as they could. With a worm I worked holes inside near the iron bar, which the others forced from its place and then got in. We all got into the kitchen, and began to look about. I held the candle, which was a piece Jones had in his pocket. Levi Harwood took 2s. from a workbox in the kitchen, and we then went into a sitting room, where we found an old-fashioned gold watch and a sWer bungling watch, engine -turned, a large silver snuff box, a small silver snuff-box with a fine hinged lid. We drank some wine, but I can't say who it was taken by. It was not by me. They told me to take a decanter out and give it to Sam, while he stood under the cypress tree, which I did. Mr. M. 0/AMBERS—Did you take anything else? Wit ness—A humberellar and a telescope. The telescope was produced, and he was asked to identify it. Witness (with an air of great candour)—lt's something like, but I would not like to swear to it. (Laughter.) When I went back to the house I found they had cut their way out of the room where I had left them, and were in, a room on the other side of the passage. Jones went down into the pantry and brought up some bread, cheese, and meat, which, however, I did not cut, and it was carried away. We then went into a room upstairs where there was no one sleeping, and we took out of it one dress hanging on the bed, and two out of a chest of drawers. We then went downstairs, and I went outside to fetch Samuel Harwood in. Jones put on a green baize mask and a cloak. I did so too. Levi Harwood put on a white mask and his white guernsey. Samuel Harwood put nothing on. Jones then went upstairs with a pistol in his right hand; Levi Har wood, with a pistol in his right hand ; myself third with the candle, which was lighted; and Samuel Harwood fourth, with a screwdriver. In that order we entered the bed room, Samuel Harwood remaining at the door. Mrs. Hol iest awoke first, and Levi Harwood said, " If you don't lay still, my good woman, I'll blow your brains out." We were all standing at the foot of the bed then. Mrs. Holiest got out of bed, and, to my best belief screamed. Jones catched hold of her, and thrust her up in the corner. Mr. Holiest then awoke, and was getting off the foot of the bed to lay hold of Levi Harwood. Levi fired the shot. Mr. M. CHAmhEns—What did you do? Witness—l took the gold watch off the stand, which was on a washhandstand or table at the foot of the bed. We then all four ran down stairs. Samuel Harwood was first, and we went out at the front door, which had previously been fastened back with the door mat. Samuel had pulled off his boots when he came into the house, and had bare feet when he ran away. We ran into the road, then along the main road, and over a gate into a stubble field, where we put our shoes on. Levi Har wood said there, " I hope to God it's not killed the man." After that we crossed the common, and carrying the bread and cheese and meat, which I threw into a ditch when I had got some distance. We went in company together for four or five miles across a common, which brought us out against the canal. I gave the gold watch, two miles before we parted, to Levi Harwood. Jones and Samuel Ilarwood took with them to Guildford the two pistols, two boys' great coats, two umbrellas, and a bag of copper money. Jones gave Levi his pistol, who took the contents out and gave both back to him or Samuel (I cannot swear which) to take to Guildford. I did not see where the bag of copper money came from, but it was handed to me, and I gave it to Sam at the same time as I took him the telescope and umbrella. Jones said he had been bad with the yellow jaundice, and thought I had better go to London with Levi, and accordingly we walked on. We had got about a mile from Kingston to wards London when Levi said that I had better go back by a road waggon, and gave me sixpence. I found a waggon— Mr. Roker's, of Godalmin— at a public-house, and after wait.! ing I got back in that to Guildford. I went to the Wheat- 1 sheaf, and saw Jones there, who asked me where Levi Har- 1 wood was. I told y him he w ou ld no t a ll ow me to go any; further than Kingston. Levi on returning from London came to the Wheatsheaf, and called Jones out about a quar ter-past eight. They were out together about twenty mi nutes„ and when Jones returned he asked if I was inclined for a walk. I said I was. He then said that the goods had fetched W., and Jones gave me three halfcrowns. I took some things out of pawn with this money. On the Sunday, about a quarter to ten in the morning, I saw Levi Harwood and Jones. That evening Mr. Hollington took us into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—When I received the three half-crowns I had no money, and had been with out any for some days. On Tuesday I had a penny, on Wednesday I earned is. 3d. by work, on Thursday I had some coppers, and on Saturday 6d. from Levi Harwood. had no notion why Jones wished me to find out the clergy man's house. Mr. BALLANTINN-Why did you not ask? Witness—Be cause I were in a hurry to find out whether there was a fight there or not. I was only thinking cf being in time to see the fight. I can't say if I asked for anything to eat or drink at the clergyman's house. I might have done so; but I was not angry when I left. Mr. BALLANTINE—Did you say to a person named Hon ley, that you had been up to the parson's, and that he would not give you so much as a drop of beer? Witness — I can't say that I did so or I did not. I should not like to swear that I did not. Mr. BALLANTINE—Did you not say you hoped something would happen to the b— b— before the week was out, and that he might die within the week? Witness —Them is expressions I never made use of. I might have said it or I might not. I will not swear. Mr. BALLANTINE—He did die within the week? Witness (confidently)—lt was not through me. Mr, BALLANTINE—We'II see presently. Witness—l should think it was, as near as I can say, about three o'clock when I was at Frimley on the Tuesday. I got back to Guildford about eight o'clock. I never inquired the price of a pistol at any time. Mr. BALLANTINE—Did you ever go by the name of Fly man? Witness—Some people call me that. I did rot go to Mr. Blackman's shop on Wednesday, the 25th, or in my life. I don't know it. A boy came from his shop to say so. Mr. BALLANTINE—Were you not bargaining for a pistol in his shop ? Witness—Never in my life ; and the man said so, though the boy said I did. It was on Wednesday I was first asked to go to break into a house at Frimley, and I did not know what house was meant till I got there and was on the green, and they asked me where the parson's house was. Mr. BALLANTINE—Did you not ask them what house they intended breaking into? Witness—No, because it did not come into my head. Mr. BALLANTLNE —You were indifferent as to what house? Witness—Just one as well as the other as I was after it. The parson's was not the only house I glanced into. Mr. BALLANTINE—And did you not say what you thought the best house to rob? Witness—No; my object was to see the fight. ➢ir. BALLANTINE—And you called to sell your dishes too, and at sixteen houses, to know where the parson lived? Witness—Yes. Mr. BALLANTINE—Did you give no suggestion Did they not say to you. " Flyman, you have been in this neigh bourhood, and must know all the houses ?" Witness—They never asked such a question, and on my oath, with a clear conscience, I can say I did not know we were going to break into the clergyman's house till we reached Frimley. Did you not find out how many servants lived at th• clergyman's house before leaving for Guildford? Witness—. I did not. I did not know Ns hat they were loading the pistols for. I was lighting my pipe at the time and I made no remark. I could not say what they were going to do with them. Mr. BALLANTINE—Who pushed ➢lrs. Holiest into the corner. Witness—Jones and Levi: Harwood and I were standing at the foot of the bed—Mr. holiest was getting off the foot of the bed, when the shot was fired. Levi was standing to my right, and I had a candle in one band and a watch in the other. Levi was about a yard and a-half off when he filed, and ➢lr. Holiest was going to make a grasp at him with his right foot first. Mr. BALLANTINE—There was no struggle at the fireplace with Mr. Holiest? Witness—That I can't say—not to my , knowledge.- --I bad no struggle with him there. Levi, I think, did not. Samuel was at the door and could not. I can't say as to Jones, for he was last. Mr. BALLANTINE —You made no attempt to save Mr. Holiest? Witness—l did not know Levi was going to fire. I was looking at Mr. Holiest at tUe time. Mr. BALLANTINE—Did any one fire at you? Witness— There was a report of a gun, but I don't know that any one was hit. Mr. BALLANTLNE —Why are you called the " Flyman ?" Witness—l can't tell you. If anybody had told me I would tell you. Mr. BA LLANTINE —You have no notion why they call you the " Flyman ?" Witness—No, I have never been told. Mr. BALLANTINE —ls there any other name you have gone by? Witness—l don't know; I can't prevent people calling me names. Mr. BALLANTINE—IS your father alive? Witness—Not to my knowledge. Mr. BALLANTINE —Don't you know if your father is alive? Witness—When I was young he wait away; but that is not a proper question. I have not seen him for some time. Mr. BALLANTINE—Were you ever a witness in a court of justice? Witness (indignantly)—Never in my life. Mr. BALLANTINE—Were you present when your father was tried ? Witness—No, I was only five or six when he was sent away. Mr. BALLANTINI—This is the first scrape you ever got out of by giving evidence against other people? Witness—Yes. Mr. BALLANTINE—You were tried last arch at Maid stone—what for? Witness—On suspicion M of highway rob- bery. Mr. BALLArrINEWith cutting and wounding ? Wi tness —So it was stated.—(Laughter.) Mr. BALLANTLNE--Were you not in again since? Wit_ ness—l was walking along the road, and was taken up on suspicion of breaking into a house two or three weeks before this matter. Mr. BALLANTINE—Who were you taken into custody with then? Witness—l don't know; he was a stranger to roe. He met me on the road when we were taken, and I have for gotten his name. Mr. BALLANTINE Pas his name Isaac? Witness—l don't know. Mr. 13ALLANTIN E —Are these th e on l y t i mes you have been in custody? Witness—Yes; I n ever was i n a gaol except the:e three times. Mr. B A LLANTINE—When did you take the name of Hiram Smith? Witness—When I was taken, and going with this man Isaac to Brighton. Cross-examined by Mr. CTIARNOCK—I have no recollection of saying to Macey, at Frimley, on the T u esd a y, that th e gentleman, the parson, was " a tight fit," and that I had tried it on for a bit of " chuck," and it was no go. I don't know what "chuck" means. Mr. CitAn?'ocx —Did you tall Hollington, " We had ar ranged previously on the Tuesday to commit this robbery ?" itness—l don't recollect saying so, but I might have.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION. We understand that at the meeting on Saturday her Ma jesty's Commissioners examined into the report of the leak age of the roof, and after hearing Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Cubitt on the subject, and communicating with Mr. Fox, the contractor, they were of opinion that the leaking had been greatly exaggerated, and her Majesty's Commissioners requested Mr. Cubitt to prepare a report for the next meeting of the Commissioners. In the mean time we may state that but little doubt is felt that a week's fine weather would enable the contractors to make the building perfectly water-tight. Messrs. Fox and Henderson have made a curious dis covery recently, which solves a mystery that had for a long time puzzled them. Along a particular :row of columns in the building there was observed to be a constant leakage when rain fell, from some 'cause which could not be de tected. At last they were induced to examine the line of drain-pipes which runs from column to column, and there they discovered a nail-bag securely wedged in by some mischievously-disposed] workman, and which by stopping the current of water of course caused the columns to overflow.
