WAKEFIELD, MAncit B.—The supply of wheat is large, and good of other grain. The trade continues in the dull inanimate state we have so long noted, and though there is less pressure on the market, the wants of the millers are so limited as to cause a further reduction in wheat of is per qr. ' Barley remains as last stated, the demand being still confined to the best qualities. Oats, shelling, and beans are offering on somewhat lower terms. New. WHEAT, per qr.

Rum is quite neglected. Refined goods meet a fair sale at former rates. Treacle in plentiful supply, at about 17s 6d per cwt.—Bristol Mercury. EXETER, MARCH B.—Cattle market—The supply of beasts was above an average, and considerably more than last week. The demand was not very brisk, and for fat beef late prices were hardly supported. Pannier—Turkeys, 5s to 8s each ; ducks, 4s 6d to 5s 6d per couple; wild, ditto, 3s to 4s ditto ; widgeon, 2s 6d ditto ; galenas 5s ditto ; fowls, 2s 9d to 4s ditto ; spring chickens, 3s 6d to 4s 6d ditto ; pigeons, Is 9d to 2s ditto ; hares, 2s 6d each; roasters, 4s to 5, ditto; butter, Is to is ld per lb; eggs, 20 for Is. Seed Market—We notice no alterations from last week's quotations, but clover is dull. Wool—Scarcely any business has been done to-day, the staplers not being anxious to buy. Where sales have been pressed a decline has bsen submitted to, and the quotation must be from ed to bid per lb. Corn Ex change, one o'clock—There hasnot been a large stroke of bu siness transacted, nor can we quote any improvement in price. Some mixed wheat (red and white,) has been sold at 4s 8d per bushel, and prime wheat at ss, (warranted). Neither to-day, nor for several previous weeks, has there been any foreign wheat in the market. The low prices arise from the universal distrust caused by the confident assertions that large quantities will arrive, than to any other source. Malting barley, 2s 10d to 3s per bushel ; oats, Is 10d to 2s Id ditto; fine flour, 27s 6d to 29s per sack. NERBERY, MARCH 7.—Our supply of wheat is quite moderate, yet more than sufficient for the demand. The dull state of the flour markets, both east and west, has a very depressing influence upon the wheat trade; and although a de cline of is to 2s per qr. was submitted to, still some quantity remains over unsold. Barley. moderate supply, in addition to the requirements of maltaters, there being some little demand for seed; all descriptions of barley fully maintained late rates. Beans, peas, and oats, fair supply, and in fair request at fully late rates. LITYMPOOL, MAncii B.—At this day's market there was a very scanty attendance if the town and country trade, who manifested extreme indifference to enter into business. In the few sales made of wheat and flour the prices of Tuesday were with difficulty maintained. Fine oats were held firmly at late rates, but inferior qualities were offered on lower terms. Bar ley, beans, and peas were quite neglected. New yellow Ameri can corn was again easier to buy, 26s per quarter being the current price; white was generally held at 27s 6d to 28s per quarter. BIRMINGHAM, MARCH 7.—At Gloucester and Worcester markets on the 2d the trade ruled very dull, but lower prices were not generally submitted to for any description of wheat. Barley as difficult to dispose of as ever. Oats taken in limited quantities at previous rates. Beans and peas nominally unal tered. This week we have to report the same absence of de mand as for some weeks past, the few sales made were at a re duction of fully Is. per quarter. We have heard of no trans actions in barley. Oats are held for previous rates. On beans the turn is again in favour of the buyer. In peas nothing doing worth notice. At this day's market there was only a moderate supply of wheat from the farmers, and the trade ruled dull at Is per quarter under the currency of this day se'nnight. Bar ley, except best qualities, could only be sold at a similar de cline. Oats pressed on the markets without finding buyers. Nothing doing worth notice in either beans or peas. The millers have lowered the retail price of flour Is 8d per sack. BRISTOL, MARCH 7.—The market was well supplied with English and foreign wheat, which mat an inadepuate demand, and on the limited sales occurring prices have receded in the last fortnight from is to 2s per quarter. English wheat, 363 to 40s per imperial quarter; ditto foreign white, 42s to 465; ditto red, fine, 39s to 425; ditto ordinary, 36s to 38s; ditto hard, 34s to 37s per 4801bs. Malting barley is very dull and cheaper, and grinding parcels may be noted at from 6d to Is per quar ter lower; English malting, 211 to 28s per imperial quarter; ditto and foreign grinding, 18s to 21s per 4001bs. Oats were unsaleable at fully Is per quarter lower.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Ilicirch 7. ,HARTLEY'S DIVORCE. The Howe assembled this afternoon, according to special appointment, and proceeded to hear counsel and evidence in Hartley's Divorce Bill. Lord BROUGHAM occupied the chair. The Earl of Devon and Lord Hawarden were also present. Mr. Sergeant Wrangham (with whom was Mr. Crompton) appeared on behalf of the petitioner ; and Mr. M. James represented Mrs. Hartley. Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM said, in opening the case, that the petitioner was a gentleman who was well known to many of the Members of that House— Mr. John Bernard Hartley, who was the engineer to the Liverpool, and also to the Hull, Docks. It would appear; in the-course of the evidence that that gentle man had been married, on the 6th of September, 1842, to Miss Harriet Say Hall, the daughter of a Liverpool merchant, with whom he had lived for some time upon the meat happy and affectionate terms. Mr. Thompson was the engineer to the Liverpool and Bury. . Railway, and it was owing to that circumstaracO, that an acquaintance be tween the parties had commenced. At the period of the marriage Mr. Hartley was twenty eight years of age, while Miss Hall had not then attained twenty years. The engagements of Mr. Hartley, in a professional sense , had caused his fre quent absence from home, and he was not only called to Hull every fortnight, but during the sittings of the two House of Parliament he was compelled to attend :very frequently before Committees of both branches of the Legislature. It would appear that the acquaintance between the parties commenced during the year 1846, and in the course of the middle of that year Mr. Hartit- noticed some difference in the bearing of Mrs. Hartley. He, however, made no remark to the lady, and matters continued to proceed in this way for some time. During the summer of 1847, Mr. Hartley had occasion to go to Glasgow on professional business. In the meantime reports bad been spread in Liverpool to the effect that an im proper intimacy was going on between Mrs. Hartley and Mr. Thompson. It had been even alleged that an elopement bad taken place. The falsehood, however, of that portion of the rumour bad at the time been sufficiently proved by the fact that the lady was still residing in her husband's house. On the return of Mr. Hartley from Glasgow, he heard of those rumours, and instantly set on foot such inquiries as he thought would be likely to lead to the truth. Some time having elapsed he at length traced the report to a Mr. Prest, of Li verpool, and he accordingly obtained an interview with that gentleman, and, in the course of conversa tion, Mr. Prest stated that he had heard of the cir cumstance from a Mr. Parker. That gentleman, however, denied that he had ever made such a com munication to Mr. Prest. The result of this inter view was, that Mr. Hartley bad, by the advice of several friends, personally chastised Mr. Prest. For that act Mr. Prest had brought an action, which had been eventually compromised, at an expense of 1201. to Mr. Hartley. These several circumstances had taken place during the summer of 1847. Mr. Thompson having heard that Mr. Hartley had disco vered the person by whom the rumour had been set afloat, had written to Mr. Hartley, and had adopted in that communication just such a course as would be calculated to blind the eyes of that gentleman against the proceedings he was carrying on. The letter was to the following effect:— "My dear Hartley,—l only wish to God I had been with you, although from all accounts you needed no help. I stayed last night at our worthy friend Fore shaw's, who gave me full particulars. I would have run down to the yard to see you, but am obliged to go to Manchester with my brother; most probably, how ever, we will get back this evening, and if in time to go to the French plays, I may perhaps s©e you there. If not I shall be sure to see you to-morrow. " Ever most - truly yours, in haste, " JAMES THOMPSON. " 47, Monet Pleasant, August 17, 1847." Mr. Hartley, feeling satisfied that the rumours were not true, had allowed matters to go on as heretofore ; but he could not disguise from himself that there ap peared to be an increased coolness exhibited towards him by his wife. The result, therefore, bad been that in the course of the month of November in that year, the parties had agreed to separate, and iu the follow ing month a deed to that Effect had been drawn up and executed, and that instrument contained a cove nant on the part of Mr. Hartley to pay his wife an an nuity of 2001., in addition to another 200/. settled upon her, which gave her an income of 4001. per annum. The separation accordingly took place, and it was not until some days after the execution of the deed that Mr. Hartley had received any satisfactory proof of his wife's infidelity. Some days subsequently, however, to that event, a letter, anonymously signed, had been received by Mr. Foreshaw, the brother-in law of Mr. Hartley, intimating that Thompson was on the point of eloping with Mrs. Hartley ; and a consultation having taken place, an advertisement was put in the Times asking the writer to come for ward and establish his charge. There was no reply to the advertisement except a letter, which, from its terms, had induced the suspicion that it had been written at the instance of Thompson. These inquiries had been carried on throughout the whole of 1848, with the hope that some proof of the adultery might be gained, and it had not been till the very end of that year that the clue had been obtained. That in quiry and search had of course been carried on at a large expense. Lord IlaouGnam—Was that the 600/. that were charged as costs ? Mr. Sergeant WRANGITAM-Oh, no ; those were the costs of the action. The Learned Sergeant said in continuation that the information which had by this time been obtained was sufficient to establish the fact of the adultery, and therefore Mr. Hartley had brought an action against Thompson, who in the first place had pleaded not guilty, but a fterwards, upon hearing that a Mrs. Jones, w h o h a d b een his house keeper, had been found, he then withdrew that plea, and allowed judgment to go by default. It had been subsequently found that Mrs. Jones had, by the di rection of Mr. Thompson, taken the house in her own name at which he had held his secret meetings with Mrs. Hartley. The case, therefore, had come before the Sheriff of Liverpool with a view to assessing the damages. Counsel—witnesses having in the mean time arrived at that town at a considerable expense— agreed, however, ere the trial commenced, with the view of sparing the feelings of all parties, that a verdict should, be returned for 4,000/. damages and the costs. Lord Baouoneat—Enormous ! I never heard of such a sum taken by consent. The costs never could have been so large where it was an undefended cause. Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM said that the costs had been taxed in the usual way, and both sums had been paid by the defendant's attorney. Lord BUOUGRAM—What ! 4,0001. as damages and costs too—an engineer against an engineer. Why, it is perfectly monstrous. Mr. Sergeant WRANGLIAM—Two railway engi neers, my Lord, Lord Baouonast—l do not care, Sergeant, even if they were Californian engineers. I say the amount is monstrous. Mr. Sergeant WRANGUAM was sure ultimately that the Noble a n d L earned Lor d wou ld b e sa ti s fi e d t h a t 4 1 0001. was not too large a sum. The taxation of the bill of costs had been carried on in the most hostile way. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to say, that upon the separation of Mr. and Mrs. Hartley, the lady had gone to live with an uncle and aunt of the name of Shaw, from whose house she had gone to London, w h ere s h e h a d t a ken up her r es id ence with Mr. Thompson, at a private hotel in Sackville street, and with whom she had afterwards proceeded to Southsea, near Portsmouth. Having proved these facts, he felt sure the House would read the Bill a second time. The usual documentary evidence having been ad duced, and a very desultory conversation having taken place in connexion with the payment and transfer of the damages and the costs of the action, Mr. Joseph Newby, a relative of the petitioner, proved that Mr. and Mrs. Hartley had lived upon affectionate terms. Mr. Henry Foreshaw was next examined, and having corroborated the Learned Sergeant's state ment in the material points, stated that he, Mr. Hart ley, Mr. Prest, and a mutual friend had assembled at the Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool, and that Mr. Hartley had upon that occasion, and under his direction, horsewhipped Mr. Prest in retaliation for the promul gation of the alleged false rumours imputing crimi nality to Mrs. Hartley. Lord BROUGHAM—You, as a lawyer, directed Mr. Hartley to horsewhip Mr. Prest? Witness—Yes ; and I then handed the whip to Mr. Prat, who, however, declined to use it. The door of the room I had locked, and bad they key in my pocket. The witness concluded by stating that 3,0001. had been already expended in the prosecu tion of these proceedings, and that the damages and costs in the action for trim. con. had been laid aside for that especial purpose. The following letter was then put in and read to show that, prior to the introduction of Mr. Thomp son, Mr. and Mrs. Hartley had lived happily toge ther : " Seaforth, May 14, 1846. " My dearest John,—A thousand thauks for your kind note. Of course I should not at all enjoy being in London and you elsewhere, as seeing and being with ycu will be my greatest enjoyment. I hope we shall all go up on Tuesday, for two reasons—one is, I am longing to see you, and hope deferred maketh the heart sick;' another reason is, going to Willis's Rooms would have been the greatest pleasure London could afford to Annie Dore and I, in the shape of amusement; and the only op portunity of seeing the aristocracy in full dress. lam much better than usual this week, and intend coming up to you flourishing as a young palm tree, and my husband may not always say his own is ill. I havelbeen thinking with such glee of your meeting me at the station that last night I dreamt not ' that I dwelt in marble halls,' ,but that you were not at the station, and I was overwhelmed with sorrow, and I rushed to the Caledonian Hotel, and an aristocratic old man Owned me the room you were in! You will see Henry in Lou don. Mary's first party was hies recherche; her second has not taken place, in consequence of Henry's absence. It is not absolutely necessary to write to the dear aunt; but , if you had time, love, it would please her greatly, and please your wile too, and your aunt is so kind t ) your own. My aunt is now at Rock Ferry, but I would forward your letter. "If yon can come round from Hull for us do, but do not, dearest, come to Beaumaris, for it would be use less fatigue, and I could take Ann up for the same ex pense. She says she would rather go in the third-class carriage. " Your wife is well and happy, and sends her undyink love to her husband. • ' Your own darling, " HARRIET. (Addressed) " Jno. B. Hartley, Esq., 16, Bury.street, St. James's, London." Mrs. Catharines Jones, the witness mentioned in the Learned Sergeant's statement, proved that she had taken a house in Buckingham-terrace, Liverpool, at the direction of- Mri. - Thompsun, and than the • had frequently during the year 1847 seen Mrs. Hartley at that house. Only three rooms, namely, a drawing room, a parlour, and a bed-room, had been furnished. Mrs. Hartley had remained the whole of the night upon three occasions. Witness could not, however, distinctly state that the bed had been slept in by two parties. Witness subsequently accom panied Mr. Thompson and Mrs. Hartley to Sack ville-street where she had attended upon that lady; but she was not able to prove any act of direct criminality. Mary Williams said that she was housemaid at the Belle Vue House, Southsea, where Mr. Thompson and Mrs. Hartley had taken lodgings. They had occupied two bedrooms very near together, but she had constantly found in the morning that two persons had slept in Mr. Thompson's bed. The witness having then detailed some facts which are not fit for publication, Lord BitouGuam said—Oh, that will do Sergeant. My Lords it appears to me that this case is free from all doubt. The only doubt that has ever been thrown upon it arose out of what appeared to be a suspicius circumstance—namely, the very large amount of da mages-4,000/.—which were paid, and therefore as your Lordships may have observed, I sifted very narrowly the evidence—much more narrowly than usual—as to the actual payment of the money. It certainly did raise suspicions in my mind. My Lords, there appears to me to be no doubt whatever that the parties were married ; secondly, that they lived very happily together until the unfortunate in- tercourse began with Mr. Thompson ; thirdly, that that intercourse produced on the part of the wife coldness and undutiful conduct towards her husband ; and, fourthly, and above all things, which is a most essential point in such a case, that there was no con nivance, no lathes on the part of the husband. It appears my Lords, that be never believed or ever supposed it to be possible that a criminal intimacy existed between his wife and Mr. James Thompson. Your Lordships have had the best evidence produced that he com mitted an infraction of the peace, and was compelled to pay 1201. for costs in an action arising out of that breach of the peace, showing, therefore, that he did not believe one word of the rumours which had been circulated. Last of all, we have had the account of the circumstances of this case made very satisfactory by the evidence which has been adduced, and there can be no doubt therefore that the party seeking it is entitled to the remedy afforded according to the prac tice of this House. My Lords, I may observe that this having been a most costly proceeding, furnishes one of a thousand instances how very inexpedient it is that we should go on time after time passing Bills for these purposes, for this might have been the case of a poor man instead of these wealthy people. If instead of a very wealthy engineer, it bad been the case of a man who had not 50/. or 100/. a year, whose wife had been acting like a strumpet, and bringing dishonour upon him, and bringing a spurious issue into his family, he would have had just the same moral right to the remedy now sought, as this gentleman, Mr. Hartley, or indeed any of your Lordships, would possess, and yet it would have been absolutely impossible for him to obtain it. To Mr. M'Dougall—What were the expenses attend ing the proceedings at Doctors' Commons ? Mr. SlTouGAL—About 4001., I understand, my Lord. Lord BROUGIIAM—AIthough it was not proposed, and, my Lords, it might have gone from the first court there to the Consistory Court, from Dr. Lush ington to Sir Herbert Jenner, in the Court of Arches ; and the husband would have to pay the whole of the wife's expenses ; and then, upon an appeal, it might have come before me in the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and I and my brethren might have affirmed the previous decision with all the ex penses incurred in the opposition. My Lords, I have know the case of a solicitor, who was the seducer, actually joining with the proctor iu run ning up heavy bills, both in the first and in the second court, before the Privy Council, and 1,5001. have been paid for costs by the unhappy husband in addition to the loss of his honour his good name, and there having been spurious issue in that case, so that the unfortunate man was utterly exhausted before he could come to get his remedy here, and he never has got his divorce here, and really, my Lords, a more unsatisfactory course of proceeding cannot be imagined. Your Lordships see in this case that it was a matter of compromise from beginning to end as to the damages. There was no collusion as to the adultery ; but as to the terms upon which it was to be paid for, it was a com plete matter of compromise. The defendant paid 4,6001., and there is no sifting of the case until we sift it here. It is a little sifted, but very little sifted at Doctors' Commons ; the question there is not as to collusion, or as to the conduct of the one party or the other. The only question there is, has adultery been committed? There is no recrimination, and that is, therefore, no security to this House. My Lords, although this is one of the many instances that might be referred to of its being a most unsatis factory course of proceeding, yet, nevertheless, it is the only course of proceeding that can be taken, and therefore we are bound, and I recommend your Lordships to give the remedy here prayed for. It is a perfectly unexceptionable case. The conduct of Mr. Hartley appears to have been most admirable, praiseworthy, and reflecting the greatest credit upon him; he appears to have behaved with the greatest ten derness and forbearance towards his wife. Mr. Thomp son's conduct has been by no means free from blame, it has, indeed, been very blameable, and he has,paid very heavily for it—but so has Mr. Hartley paid very heavily ; for the 4,0001. and odd which he has got will not be more than enough, if se much, as will cover all the expenses of these various proceedings ; for there will be the expenses of this Bill in Parlia ment, as well as all the others. I, therefore, recom mend your Lordships—feeling great commiseration for this unfortunate gentleman, who is much to be pitied—to grant a second reading to this Bill. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday next. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the LoRD CIIILF BARON and Mr. Justice CRESS WELL.) THE MURDER AT HACKNEY. - TRIAL OF ANNE MERRITT. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Dr. Letheby, professor of chemistry at the London Hospital was then called, and he proved that the re sult of the tests to which he subjected the contents of the stomach of the deceased was the discovery of a considerable quantity of white arsenic, much more than sufficient to have caused death. Dr. Letheby also expressed an opinion, founded upon his experi ence in such matters, that a portion of the arsenic had been administered not more than two or three hours before death, and he said that his opinion was not in anyway changed by h ear i ng that the deceased had exhibited symptoms of vomiting on the same morning. By Mr. CL ARHSON — Witness had known death to have been occasioned by the administration of two grains and a half of ars en i c ; b u t i n genera l h e s h ou ld say five grains were suffi c i en t t o d es t ro y life. lie found eight grains and a half of arsenic in the sto mach of the deceased, and there was also a small quantity in the liver, and also in the intestines. By Mr. BODKIN--The contents of the stomach re sembled thick gruel. Anne Geary said—Early on the morning of the 25th of January, I was sent for to " lay out" the deceased, and I assisted in so doing. The prisoner appeared to have sat up all night, and she was weep ing all the time I was there. By the request of the I prisoner I called upon Mr. Urry, the secretary to the Clapton Benefit Society, to ask him to come to the house. Mr. James Urry said—l act as secretary to the society mentioned by the last witness. The deceased became a member two years ago, the first Wednesday in January last, but according to the rules of the society, his two years would not have been completed until'the 2d of February of this year. Upon hearing of his death I went to the prisoner's house. She ap• peared absorbed in grief. I said "I am sorry to hear of your loss." I shortly afterwards told the prisoner that if her husband bad lived till the 2d of February, she would have been entitled to 101. ; but as it was she would be only entitled to 71. 10s. The prisoner made no reply. I gave an order upon the pay-steward of the club for a portion of the amount. Alfred Andrew; summoning officer of Hackney, proved that he went to the house of the prisoner on the 25th January. Mrs. Gillett was there, and she said she thought from what had passed between her and the witness, that he (Andrews) thought there would be a coroner's inquest. The prisoner upon this said she did not think there was any necessity for an inquest, as her poor dear husband had died a natural death. Witness then asked the prisoner if she thought anything had been given to her husband, or whether he had taken anything to destroy himself, and she replied, "God knows; he had something to drink at Stamford-hill ; but whether anything was put into it I cannot tell." When the coroner's in quest .was about to be held the prisoner said, she had never had any objection to it, but as she knew her husband did, she had only acted as a wife in en deavouring to comply with his wishes. He remarked to the prisoner that it was a very painful thing, bat the law must take its course, and it was necessary to find out whether her husband had died naturally, or from foul causes. The prisoner then clasped her hands, and walked about the room, exclaiming, "Thank God, lam innocent! Poor dear soul, I loved him too well to injure him or to wrong him." Upon another occasion the prisoner told him that the gruel which her husband had left in the morning she and her child Anne had eaten, and Mrs. Gillett knew it. By Mr. CLARKSON...4 am the coroner's constable. I first communicated with the coroner on the 26th, and on the same evening I received the warrant for holding the inquest. I first began to have conversa tion with the prisoner on the 25th. I had some know ledge of her previously. I told her, when I went ;in that I was the coroner's officer. Mr. F. W. Brown deposed that his father was a chemist and druggist in Church-street, Hackney, and he assisted in the business. He knew the prisoner from her frequently coming to the shop, and he re membered selling her some arsenic in the afternoon of Saturday, the 19th January. The prisoner asked him for two-pennyworth of arsenic, which he re fused to supply her with at first, and she then said his father knew her very well, and that he often bad let her have it, and she at the same time mentioned her name. Witness was then about to supply her with the poison in one paper, when she said she wanted it in two papers, as one portion was for her sister, who lived at some distance. He asked her what she wanted the arsenic for ; and she said to poison rats or mice. Witness supplied her with two packets as she re quested, and labelled them " poison," and also wrote the word " poison" on both the packets, and gave them to the prisoner, and she took them away. He cautioned the prisoner not to put the poison upon bread and butter, as children might eat it ; and she said she always used the poison with a herring. The packages would have had something the appearance of effervescing powders. The prisoner upon this occa sion did not exhibit the least appearance of excitement, and he saw nothing unusual in her manner. Richard Clark, a policeman, proved that while the prisoner was in his charge she said, " I suppose I shall be hanged. They have told so many lies about it. I bought the arsenic for my husband." Sarah Avis, the female searcher at the police sta tion at Hackney, proved that when the priaoner was brought there she asked her if she knew what she was' charged with, and on her saying she did not, she replied that she was charged with poisoning her poor dear husband ; that he had been poisoned was true, but she did not know by whom. The prisoner then said that Mrs. Gillett was the principal witness against her, and that she had forsworn herself. A statement made by the prisoner before the Ma gistrate was put in and read; it was to the following effect :—" I have nothing to say, except that I never intended my husband to take the poison. When I bought it I intended to take it myself, if he had come home as he had done several nights before. I could not live with him if he had gone on so. I thought no more about it until the Sunday, when I thought he might have taken it instead of soda, and then I burned it. What I said about hanging was this—l said, if I was to be hanged this moment, I am innocent of giving anything to my husband. I have nothing more to say." This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. CLARKSON then made an able address to the ury for the defence. _ - 'the CHIEF BARON having summed up, The jury retired at half-past six o'clock, and re turned into court a five minutes past seven, when they gave a verdict of Guilty, but at the same time recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of her former good character. The prisoner was then asked in the usual form, whether she had anything to urge why sentence of death should not be passed upon her ? She replied, in a firm tone, " I am entirely inno cent." Mr. Harker, the usher, then made the usual pro clamation for silence. The CHIEF BARON, who appeared very much affected, having put on the black cap, addressed the prisoner, and said she now stood at the bar to receive the judg ment of the Court upon the verdict of guilty, which the jury, after a most patient inquiry, had felt , them selves compelled to return against her. The Learned Judge proceeded—" This case is one which is mixed up with so much that affects the feelings that it almost unmans me for the per formance of my duty, and I feel myself quite inade quate to point out to you the nature of your crime, or to describe it in the terms which it really demands. You appear to have lived—for several years at all events—in the enjoyment of domestic happiness with your husband, and that you had several children by him; and the jury, by their verdict, have found that you administered to him, or caused him to take, the dose of poison which led to his death. I entirely con cur in that verdict; and I do not see how the jury could have returned any other upon the evidence that has been laid before them. It may be said that no human eye saw you administer the poison ; but if the testimony of the witnesses is to be believed—and I see no reason to doubt it—your guilt is made as apparent as if you had been actually seen to ad minister the deadly dose to your husband. You have committed this great offence against the father of your children—against the man who, at the altar of God, you solemnly swore to love and cherish, and to whom you devoted all your love. The jury have recommended you to mercy on account of your good character ; and it will he my duty to forward that recommendation to the only quarter where it can have any effect ; but I warn you not to place any reliance upon it, or to believe that it will avert the sentence which lam compelled to pass upon you. I cannot but remark the strange and horrible frequency of the crime with which you are charged. This is not the first, second, or third occasion on which this terrible crime has been clearly brought home to the party accused, and I therefore warn you not to put any faith in the recommendation to mercy, which, however, it will be my duty to present. I therefore warn you again to apply to Him alone who has the power to pardon all sins, and empl o y th e t i me that re mains to you in this world in endeavouring to obtain pardon." The Learned Judge then passed sentence of death upon the prisoner. When the Learned Judge had concluded his ad dress, the prisoner again asserted her innocence, and she did not appear at all affected. She was then removed from the bar, and the Court adjourned at a quarter -past seven o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. George Lyon, who was on Saturday charged with having forged and uttered a bill of exchange for 1501., purporting to be the acce•ptance of Mr. W. Curling, upon the London Joint-%tock Bank, was brought up for re-examination. Mr. Mullens, of the firm of Bush and 'aliens, so licitors to the Committe e of Bankers for Protection from Forgeries and Frauds, attended for the prose cution. There were two additional charges of forgery on the same party gone into to-day, and there are other cases yet against the prisoner, who will be com mitted for trial when the depositions shall have been made out. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Abraham Salmons ' of No. 315, Oxford- s t ree t, jeweller, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with abominable practices towards John Collins, porter,:out of employ, who said he formerly lived with the prisoner's father. After hearing the evidence, Mr. HARDWICK was of opinion that both parties The prisoner had been carrying on his delinquen cies for a length of time, by setting down in his ac count-books considerable larger sums of money to the weekly accounts of wages to the journeymen, &u., than they had received. The greatest confi dence wets always reposed in the prisoner. He was remanded. He applied for bail to be accepted. Mr. TYRWETITT declined to take bail in a case where there was such an abuse of confidence on the part of a servant towards his employers. WORSHIP-STREET. Charles Swift, a master butcher, carrying on busi ness in Murpeth-street, Bethnal-green, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with having feloniously fired off a loaded pistol at his sister- in-law, a young married woman named Sarah Smith, resid ing in Nottisford-street, Bethnal-green. The pri soner, who was very much intoxicated at the time, discharged a pistol through the window ; and the contents, striking against the ceiling over her head, rebounded to the floor. On being called upon for his defence, the prisoner said that the complainant had endeavoured for a long time past to produce discord between him and his wife, and having beard her on the preceding evening incite her to abandon him, and start by an early train into the country, his feelings became painfully excited, and having ordered her out of the house, he followed her home with the pistol, which he kept ready loaded for protection against thieves, and dis charged it through the window, in order to frighten her, and without the slightest intention of doing her any serious injury. The Magistrate directed the depositions to be at once taken by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, and the pri soner was committed to Newgate for trial. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. They are filled with electioneering addresses, warnings, squibs, and accusations, preparatory to Sunday next, when the elections take place. The troops who possess votes for Paris have already voted ; the votes of 800 of them are known, and they give a majority of 7 to 1 to the Democratic candidates. The National announces that in the garrison of Talle there are 68 military men who are voters in the department of the Seine, and that they voted as follows :—Deflotte 66, Vidal 64, Carnot 63, Foy 1, Darbouville 1, De la llitte 1, Ledru Rollin 2. The military voters for other departments, stationed in the same garrison, also voted for the Socialist candi dates by large majorities. For the department of the Upper Loire there are 17 voters, all of whom vote for the Socialists; for the Loire, 28 for the Socialists. 1 for the Government ; for the Iserre, 25 for the So cialists, 1 for the Government ; for the Upper Rhine, 154 for the Socialists, 11 for the Government. At St. Malo, out of 21 voters for the department of the Seine, 19 voted for the Socialists, and 1 for General de la Ilitte. At Mountvaleriar, 43 for the Socialists, 2 for General de la Hate. The Constitution du Leiret says that in the garrison of Orleans, out of 61 voters for the department of the Saine, 45 voted for Carnot, 41 for Flotte, 40 for Vidal, 9 for Darbouville, 8 for De Chabrol, and 7 for iDe la Hitte. In the other departments the votes were nearly unanimous in favour of the Democratic candidates. It appears that in the preliminary ballot of the Union Electoral the pure Legitimatist candidate procured only 9,000 votes, and the pure Imperialist only 5,000. The lowest of the successful candidates polled up• wards of 20,000 votes. The manufacturers of beetroot sugar have sent a deputation to Paris to protest against any reduction being made in the import duty on foreign or colonial sugar. It appears that the crime of peculation is not con fined to the notabilities of the Orleans Court. The Legitimatist pur sang are not one whit behind the adherents of the younger branch in dishonesty, and the crime of M. TEBTE has been equalled, if riot surpassed, by one of the Gentlemen of the 'ff3edcamber to CHARLES X. In the Court of Assize of Paris on Thursday, M. LERONETTE, one of the Gentlemen of the Bedchamber to CHARLES X., was sentenced to solitary con finement for ten years, for having defrauded the Duchess Dowager of ROCHFOCICAULD DOLTDEAUVILLB of a sum exceeding 600,000 f. during his administra tion of her estate. This is an admirable specimen of the honest and moderate party. The following are the principal items of the Bank weekly returns : Francs.

An extraordinary general meeting of the Dieppe Railway Company took place on Monday, M. n'AL. TON SLIEE in the chair. The objects to be discussed were the propriety of not constructing the branch line to Fecamp, and the expediency of obtaining from the Government the exoneration of the said execution. Each of these propositions was voted unanimously by the meeting.

The German Reforme of the sth, which is the official organ of the Prussian Government, positi►ely declares that there is no foundation whatever for the rumours which had been circulated of the existence of differences between France and Prussia. At a meeting of the Verwaltungs-Rath at Berlin, on the 6th, the official protest from the Hanoverian Government against the right of that body to sum mon the German Parliament at Erfurt was read. It declares at the same time that this act on the part of the Council fully dissolves all connexion between Hanover and the Bund. The Prussian Government has sent in its reply to the Austrian proposition for a customs•union with the other German states. SWITZERLAND. The Federal Council has refused to accede to the request of the political refugees domicili a t e d i n Zurich that their departure may be postponed. GREECE.
