ROYAL NORTHERN LUNATIC ASYLUM. t he REPORT by the COUNTY COMMITTEE, as presented to . the General Meeting of Subscribers, held within the Castle of Inver ness, upon the 14th November, 1845. The increasing prevalence of lunacy through the county of Inver ness, and the obligation upon the local authorities, to confine at the expense of the parish of domicile, all persons thus dangerously aillieted, compelled this project as a matter of ordinary prudence, and apart from all consideration of general philanthropy. Accordingly, at the Annual County Meeting of the 30th April, 1843, the project was submitted to the public. It was resolved to endeavour to afford the benefit of the Institution to all the northern counties, standing, as they did, under circumstances of equal necessity • and a Committee was appointee to solicit subscriptions on this enlarged and general footing. They commenced their duties ; but circumstances for some time were adverse ; and they had the deep misfortune to lose, almost at the outset of their labours, one of their most influential, zealous, and valued members, by the sudden death of Sir. Fraser, of Newton. Keenly alive to the true benevolence of the undertaking, he was lending it the liberal assistance of his example and or his energies up to the period of his death ; and that melancholy event naturally affected, for a time, the exertions or those associated with him in the Committee. 'thus the project remained in temporary abeyance. But it seemed soon evident that unless active measures were again re sorted to, there could be no reasonable anticipation of a successful issue. A public meeting of the heritors, magistrates, and clergy, was called accordingly, upon the 10th day of December, 1844, and the necessity of an immediate canvass was admitted, and pressed upon the Acting Committee. They undertook the task. The funds at that date amounted to 1,5001., and to-day they stand on the list as 4,7001. This sum is almost entirely the result of private contribution ; for only one parish, that of Dornoch, in Sutherland, has entered a sub scription, and only one public bode, the Caledonian Bank of Inver ness, has given a contribution ;—the parish of Dornoch has taken one share of 211. ; the Caledonian Bank has given a subscription of one hundred guineas. Apart, indeed, from these two sums, the contri butions have been entirely from the hand of private benevolence. The town and neighbourhood of Inverness have given most liberally, and many of the districts of the county with an equal hand. Under very trifling exceptions, the Committee have, as 3 et, been prevented from prosecuting their solicitations throughout the northern counties. Several, however, of the most influential proprietors of the north are amongst the contributors ; and this circumstance warrants the hope that the canvass which is to be immediately commenced may be suc cessful. The Committee, through two of their number, have applied for subscriptions in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, and London, confining, unless in one or two instauces, their application to those connected by birth, or profession, or trade, with the northern counties. They regret to say that they failed in many quarters where they had the best reason to anticipate success ; but, again, there were instances where the claim of enlarged benevolence, apart from any local feeling, was willingly admitted. There were indi viduals who appeared to consider it a privilege to have au opportunity of contributing to an object tending so obviously to alleviate the miseries of the poor. Such, then, is the amount of the realised ffinds, and such is the source from which they have been to a very considerable degree de rived. The Committee have no hesitation in stating to the sub scribers their belief that the subscription will be soon considerably augmented. An important addition may be reasonably anticipated from the northern counties, and the result of an influential communi cation with India may be looked for with confidence. In closing this part of the subject, the Committee have to mention that,whilst in- Landon, they had the advantage of communicating with the Lord Advocate upon the proposed scheme t—that his Lordship became himself a subscriber, and that he obtained for the institution the benefit of the royal patronage. It is hoped that such royal counts nance may be the means of assisting the subscription in directions where otherwise it might not have penetrated. In any event, it in vests the undertaking with an additional interest and importance, and guarantees to the public an efficient constitution and management —requiring as it does that that constitution shall receive the approval of the high officers of the Crown. The Committee have made it their endeavour to obtain the best advice as to the site of the proposed Institution. They have re quested the assistance of Dr. Malcolm, of Perth, a gentleman emi nent in the treatment of the insane, and whose opinions were ma tured during an extensive continental tour amongst similar institu tions, preparatory to the erection of Murray's Asylum, in the neigh bourhood of Perth, with which he has been from its erection, and still is, intimately connected. He selected four sites as eligible—one on the property of Mr. Baillie, the proprietor of Culduthel ; another on that of Mr. Mackintosh, of Raigmore ; a third at the Hut of Health, on the estate of Inshes ; and a fourth on the lands of Charleston, the property of Mr. Baillie, of Dochfour. With the first I of these proprietors, Mr. Baillie, of Culduthel, the Committee have been in communication ; but the terms of feu demanded by him are quite impracticable, and therefore the site upon his property adjoin ing the Quarry, and close to the marsh with the Itaigmore lards, is out of the question. The Committee have also communicated with Mr. Mackintosh, bat witho .t any result—that gentleman requiring to know from them the amount of feu that will be given, and the Committee naturally enough begging to be informed what is to be asked ; and here the negotiation stands with Mr. Mackintosh. Of course it will be the duty of the subscribers immediately to open a cominunic ition with Mr. Robertson, of Lushes, and Mr. Bantle, of Dochfour, and thereafter to select from those equally eligible sites that which may be obtained upon the most eligible terms. In these circumstances of realised funds and anticipated increase, the County Committee have considered themselves required to delay no longer the commencement of the Institution. The necessity for its erection is every day iiircing i self upon their attention. The num ber of lunatics confined at the expense of the several parishes is every day increasing, and the operation of the New Poor-law Bill must necessarily add to tee number. That Bill directs a course by which reluctant parishes may be compelled to the humanity of providing sufficient accommodation for their lunatic poor ; but it affords no assistance towards securing each accommodation. The more stringent the obligation upon parish..s, the more important to them should be. the erection of a local and inexpensive Institution, such an that pro posed. This is obvious, and will undoubtedle force itself upon the understanding of all such burdened parishes. The Committee, impressed with these important considerations. submit their proceedings to the general subscribers, and suggest that, without any delay, the necessary steps should be taken for the organisation of the Asylum. They cannot close the account of their proceedings without ea. pressing the obligation under which the Institution is placed to se veral gentlemen in the south connected with this part of the country. In Glasgow, Mr. Leith, formerly inspector of the Caledonian Banking Company, most efficiently assisted the canvass ; and in Loneon the same beneficial office was with equal liberality discharged by Mr. Mackenzie, American merchant, and by Mr. Macgregor, of Cheap side. To Mr. Young, of The Sun newspaper, the cause is eminently indebted, for the liberality with which he uniformly admittedhe t necessary advertisements in a free and prominent access to the co lumns of his important journal.

RAILWAY LITIGATION, At a meeting of persons, held the 17th day of December, SU, at No. 25, Throgmor , on •street, London, to consider the objects tated In an advertisement recently published, and which was read as follows " RAILWAY LITIGATION. " At a preliminary meeting of persons interested, held the 2d day of December, 1545, " it was resolved,—That proceedings at law having been threatened in various railway matters, It is very desirable that, with a view to the equitable arrangement of just demands, and the resistance of claims obviously made under the impression that the dread of ruinous law charges will induce compliance, as also to ascertain the legal liabilities of committee-men, shareholders, and applicants for shares ; and further to elicit the actual circumstances of various railway projects (matters far too weighty and important for indivi • dual responsiteility), a confidential meeting • be speedily convened of parties who are interested in these objects." WILLIAM COLLINS, Esq., M.P., in the Chair. The names of numerous persons desirous of co-operating having been given in— It was unimously resolved,—That with a view to the accomplish ment of the forego,ng purposes, a Society be now formed, to be called " The Railway Mutual Protection Society." That the rules and regulations for the support and government of the Society now read, be approved and adopted. And it was ordered that the same be printed for distribution, and that Messrs. Amory, Sewell, and Moores, of Throgmorten-street, the solicitors of the society, be authorised to furnish copies thereof to applicants ; and That persons proposing to become members of the Society, are re quested to send their names and addresses to the solicitors. Upon the motion of Sir WILLIAM LOWTIIOItP, it was unanimously resolved— That Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., be appointed President of the Society, and that the thanks, of the country are due to him for hav ing originated this irrMortaut undertaking. That the thanks of this meeting be given to William Collins, Esq., M. P., for his attendance, and for the able manner in which he has presided. MARCUS TRAVERS, Secretary pre tens.. R AILWAY MUTUAL PROTECTION SOCIETY. This Society Is a voluntary association of persons interested In the success and judicious administration of railways ; and especially for ascertaining the present state of the law as affecting the rights and j liabilities of those connected with railways and railway projects. That in the undefined state of the law touching the various rela tions in which persons connected with railways find themselves placed, great inducements are offered to the resistance of just de mands, and to the enforcement of groundless claims; in either case imposing very serious expenses, amounting in the one to the denial of justice, and in the other to the Infliction of positive wrong. It is obvious that Individuals having to enforce their rights against, or to resist unwarrantable claims by bodies corporate in their cha racter, and having in their hands large funds, will do so at a serious disadvantage, without an arrangement for co-operation aid mutual assistance, and the aid of a subscribed fund. It is therefore agreed that a fund shall be provided by subscription, and that the following rules and regulations shall be binding upon the members of the Society. That a Committee of seven persons, including the ?resident, to be called the Council, shall be appointed to conduct the business of the Society. That a president shall be appointed, whose sanction, with two of the Council, shall be necessary to all decisions touching the institution or defence of proceedings at law or in equity. That the Council shall consider the case of any member of the Society which may be brought before them, and shall advise whether any and what proceedings shall be taken, either at law, in equity, or otherwise, for the protection or assertion of the rights of such mem ber, and that all such proceedings as may be suggested by the Council shall be sunmitted to the solicitors of the Society. That, for the guidance of the C uncil, and for the satisfaction of the members of the Society, the opinions of severe' counsel at the equity and common law bars shall be taken upon the varioas and most prominent questions which may affect the rights and liabilities of the subscribers and allottees of shares, as well as the Ldrectors, Managing and Provisional Committeemen, of railways and railway projects. That the names of persons seeking to become members of the So ciety shall be submitted to the Council, who shall have the absolute power et admission. That an annual subscription of Two Guineas shall he paid by each member of the Society, on or bet'ore the Ist of January in ea h year, and no person shall be deemed a member until such subscription be paid. That members who shall not renew their subscriptions on or before the Ist day of January, 1847, and so en from time I. time, on or before any succeeding let of January, shall cease to be members of the Society. That any subscriber who may desire to confide his own case to the Council of the Society, may do so in strict confidence, and if his case is one which the Council deem to be within the scope of the Society, may then have the option of requiting his interests to be considered by the solicitors of the Company upon the payment to the hinds of the Society of such further BWIII of money as may appear to the Coun cil appropriate and reasonaele, or of placing the business in other hands upon his own responsibility. That all subscribers shall be entitled to the benefit of the opinions of counsel propo•ed to be taken for the guidance of the Connell, and also of the advice of the counsel and of the solicitors. That Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., be appointed the President of the Council. That It. P. Davis, Esq., be appointed the Treasurer, and Messrs. Amory, Sewell. and Moores, the solicitors of the Society. That the Council shall have power to make rules for the manage ment or the business of the Society, provide they are not repugnant to the above rules And that no subscriber shall be liable for any oasts, charges, and expenses whatever beyond his subscription, and such other expenses as shall have been provided for by his engage ments with the Council.

BETTS and CO.), Patent Brandy Distiller, 7, Smithfield Bars, feels it due to himself and the public to state, that the Manufacture of the PAM:NT BRANDY was not, and never has been known to any person except to himself and one of his sons. And that he was suceeeded in the business of the Dis tillery, 7, Smithfield Bars, by his sons, J. T. BETTS, jun., and CO., on his retiring therefrom, in 1843. Mr. BETTS further states, that he is tke sole Patentee, manufac turer, and vendor of the Metallic Capsule, (or solid metal covering for the months of betties), that no other Brandy in England, except BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, is thereby protected ; the Patent Metallic Capsule if, therefore, applied to any other Brandy, must have been surreptitiously obtained.

MURDER IN LivEnPo oL.—Liv s :RPoor, SATUR DAY.—Considerable excitemen t has p revai led in town to-day, in consequence of the death o f a p rostitute by the hand of a sister in misery and crime. The name of the deceased is M‘Gill, quite a young woman, and the name of the unfortu nate wretch who inflicted t he fatal wo und is Jane Swift, both, as before mentioned, living a life of profligacy and dis sipation. It appears, so far as the particulars have as yet been ascertained, that between twelve and one o'clock this morning, Swift and t he deceased wer e carousing with a number of sailors in a public-house in Tally-street, a neigh bourhood not of the highest repute in t hi s town. Some eing natural and common Very much excited, difference arose between them, wheth er in consequence of anything said or do ne b y their paramours, as said by some, does not clearli appear, but cert a i n it is anddi they declaring got tohigh to her class, that sh e would take the life of the deceased before morning. Af ter some little tim e Swift was calmed down ; but on leavi n g the p ublic-h ouse the quarrel was with au words th e; vehemence wift b resumed, and the deceased, some parties say, struck Swift a blow, whil st others sa y she onl y gay , her a push in order to get out of her way. This Was, however, enough for Swift, who was already much exasperated, and she made a stab at the deceased, inflicting a most serious and dangerous wound on the side of the neck, near the collar-bone. The deceased staggered and fell down, but was immediately carried to a neighbouring house, where she died a short time afterwards. A surgeon was sent for, but arrived too late to render any assistance. As soon as Swift had perpetrated the deed, she ran off with the knife in her hand, and was pursued down Park -lane by several persons who were standing by. She called out to one of the women in pursuit that she would serve her as she had done the deer seed, if she persisted in following her. Ulti mately she outran her pursuers, and was lost sight of, and succeeded in making her escape. The knife was found about an hour and a half afterwards lying on the ground in Shaw's alley, one of the streets through which Swift must have passed. It was a large clasp knife, such as is usually car ried by sailors, and had marks of blood still remaining on it, although there had been heavy rain for some time pre viously, which must necessarily have obliterated some of the stains. Every exertion was made, after information had been given of the occurrence, with the view of discovering the author of the fool deed, but up to this moment, not withstanding the P• lice have made a strict search, nothing had transpired likely to lead to her apprehension ; it is not probable, however, that 010 can long escape detection. CHARGE OF MURDER. During the last two weeks some excitement has pre vailed in the neighbourhood of Dagenham, and the western portion of the county of Essex, in consequenc e of a rumour having been very extensively circulated, that a respectable tradesman, named Thomas Dunsdon, a potato salesman, residing at Chsulwell-heath, had murdered his wire, by cutting her throat. The wife died as long since as the 20th of October, from the effects of a severe wound in her throat. A coroner's inquiry was gone into before C. C. Lewis, Esq., the county coroner, and a verdict was returned that the deceased committed the act whilst labouring under temporary insanity. A few days after the inquest was held, a report was spread by some of the witnesses who were examined before the coroner, that the act was not done by the deceased, and that the husband had cut her throat, and that they had been prevented from giving such evidence before the coroner as would have fixed Dunsdon with the commission of the crime of murder. This report reaching the ears of the husband, he threatened to take legal proceedings against the originator of the scandal, a person named Benham. On the 10th of the present month, an information was made before Octavius Massiter, Esq., one of the county magistrates, on the oath of George Benham and Re chael Summons, that Thomas Dunsdon, of Chadwell heath, in the parish of Dagenham, in the county of E..ex, did, or. the 20th of o,:tober, feloniously and with malice aforethought assault Mary Dunsdon, sad with a certain razor inflict a wound in her throat, of which she then and there died. The magistrate at once issued a summons against Dansdon for his attendance before him the following day. After hearing the evidence of George Benham and other witnesses, the accused was remanded to the Ilford sessions, bail being taken for his appearance EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF THE ACCUSED. On Saturday the accused appeared before William Cotton, Esq., and a full bench of magistrates, at the Angel Inn, Ilford, when the whole of the case with : re. gird to the prosecution was gone into. The prisoner, who, although habited in his working dress, appeared to be of respectability, paid great atten tion to the proceedings, and during a portion of the examination, fondled one of his children in a most affec tionate manner. Mr. Waite appeared to prosecute, and Mr. Griffin on behalf of the accused. Rachel Summons was the first witness called, and de posed as follows :—I am a single woman, residing at Chadwell-heath, and in October last I was in the service of Mr. and Mrs. Dunsdon. I came to my work on the 20th of October, as usual, and saw Mr. Dunsdon in the back parlour. I asked him how his wife was. He said, she is much the same. Mr. Dunsdon went out, and came back about nine, or half-past nine o'clock, and w nt into the front room. I went up-stairs into Mrs. Dunsdon's bed-room, whilst Dunsdon and Mrs. Ban ham, who came into the front room before Dunsdon left it, were in the front room. She (Mrs. Dunsdon) was in bed, and I asked her if I shonld make it. She said, " No, Mrs. Banham has put it straight," and then told me t ) boil a piece of mutton, which I should find in the cupboard, and make her some broth for dinner. I arterwards went down stairs, but did not see Mr. Duns don then, but saw him a few minutes after in the back parlour. Whilst there I saw him take off his hat and coat and hang them up. I saw him pour out a cup of coffee and say, "I am going up stairs." He then went up-stairs, but did not take the coffee with him. I did not hear any noise after this for some time. Mr. Cotton—Now state slowly what occurred. Witness—Mr. Dunsdon went up stairs, but I did not hear any noise for some time. I went into the yard to do my work, and as I was doing it I heard shrieks. I ran into the kitchen to see what was the matter, and as I was going in I saw Mr. Dunsdon coming down stairs with a bloody razor in his hand. I passed him on the stairs and went to the top to see what was the matter, and I saw Mrs. Dunsdon bleeding. I came down again directly, and Mr. Banham went up stairs and called for some towels, and I ran up with them. Several other neighbours came in and I went down stairs, and did not go up again for " a while." Mr. Dunsdon came in out of the yard and went half way up stairs, and I heard him ask Mr. Banham, "Is it fatal?" I heard Mr. Ban ham reply that she would be dead in ten minutes. Mr. Dunsdon came down stairs and went into the yard again. Mr. Banham came down and asked me if I knew where the razor was. I told him that I did not know, but that I saw Mr. Dickens with it. I left the house then and went into the yard and saw Mr. Dunsford, and said to him, " What a bad job:" He said to me, "lamin no wise sorry for it." Mr. Griffin—Why did you not state this to the co roner? The Chairman—You have no right to question the witness; but any question you wish answered must be put through the bench. The examination of the witness was resumed—He said, " That the devil was always after such people, and that he could clear himself by going and telling his master that this morning she attempted to do it." I bad ❑o more conversation with him until Wednesday morn ing following, about an hour before I went before the jury, when he told me not to say much, for he should have to stand trial. I told him I did not know what trial meant, and we had no more conversation until after we came from the inquest. When I came home he asked me if the gentlemen inquired if they had any words on Sunday, and I told h m that they had not. That is all that has passed with him and me since. By Mr. Cotton—lie was not running down stairs when I first saw him, but was coming down at a middling pace. The bed-clothes were lying very straight, but I did not take any notice of her hands, as I did not see them. I saw some blood on Dunsdon's smallclothes when he came down stairs. I did not see any blood upon any part of the bed-clothes. I said nothing to Dunsford when I met him on the stairs. By Mr. Waite, the solicitor—Mrs. Dunsdon was lying flat upon her back when I went into the room. There was no other person in it when I went in. Mr. Dunsdon bad on his working clothes when I went into the yard. I afterwards saw the razor in Mr. Dickens's hand, and found it afterwards on a shelf in the back kitchen, be hind some dishes. Mr. Benham was making inquiries after it when I found it. I took it from the shelf and gave it to him. There was a little blood upon the blade, very little indeed. I quitted the service of Mr. Duns don on Thursday, the day after the inquest. I had been in his service about nine or ten days. He gave me no particular directions respecting Mrs. Dunsdon not being allowed a knife or other instrument. He never told me that he apprehended she would do herself harm. She appeared always very comfortable, and gave no signs of eccentricity. I never noticed anything to lead me to suppose that she was a person of unsound mind. I never saw Mr. Dunsford shave at home, or saw the razor in any room in the house until I saw Mr. Dunsford bring it down stairs. Mr. Cotton—Did you see any blood upon his waistcoat as well as on his smalleloches ? Witness—Yes, I mean the waistcoat by using the word smallclothes. Mr. Griffin here rose for the purpose of cross-examin ing the witness, upon which all the magistrates retired for the purpose of considering whether they would allow him to do so not. On their return, Mr. Cotton said Mr. Griffin could ask the witness any questions relative to her evidence, but they could not go into the defence. Mr. Griffin—Were you ever in the service of Mr. Turner, of Barking. _ _ Mr. Cotton—We can't allow that mode of cross-exa mination. Mr. Griffin—l have a right to put such questions to test her credibility. Mr. Cotton—l have the right to say that you shall not cross-examine at all. Mr. Griffin—Then a person of the most infamous character may come forward and give evidence without that evidence been tested. But I must submit. Mr. Cotton—You mnst submit, because you can't help yourself. The witness was then cross-examined at considerable length, from which it appeared that Mrs. Dunsford had suffered much from illness, and was frequently compelled to keep her bed. Witness was cross-examined from the de positions of the coroner, and her anwers were principally to the following efirett , —l did not tell the Coroner that she complained of pain in her back. I told the Coroner that I took a cup of coffee up stairs. I don't recollect that I sild the Coroner that she spoke to me when I went up the second time. To the best of my recollection I don't think that I told the Coroner, when I brought down the coffee, I saw my master go up stairs, but that I saw him enter the house. Mr. Griffin said the evidence he should offer for the defence would throw the testimony of this witness entirely overboard. Griffin, b Ir. . C t o h t a t o t n I — 8 h l a ltlh not i nk t a i k t e is any rig e h vi t de t n o in cefo fo r r t m you, he Nr. defence. f Mr. Griffin (evidently astonished)—But here is Mr. Lewis the coroner present, before whom the witness was examined at the inquest, and— Mr. Cotton—Well, if Mr. Lewis is here, I shall not take his evidence. .... Mr. Lewis —I beg, sir, to inform you that I did not come here to give evidence. Mr. Griffin—The question I wish to put to the witness is - Mr. Cotton—The question is, are you to be the com manding officer here, or me? Mr. Grffin—With all due submission to you— Mr. Cotton—Then sit down, sir. Police-constable Crawford 253 K, was next examined. He said I went to Mr. Dunsdon's house on the 20th of October, the day the deceased died. I received a razor from Mr. Banham. Cross-examined—l had a conversation with Mr. Ban ham, and I asked him whether he had any suspicion that the husband had committed the act. (This portion of t ie evidence the bench declined to receive.) Josiah Dickens, upon being sworn, said—l am a car penter, and reside at Chadwell-heath. I received a razor from the last witness. He gave it me to put away. I threw it in a pond near Wansey House. It was the same razor as I saw at Dunsdon's house on the 24th of October. On that day I was at work within forty yards of the prisoner's house. I heard a parson screaming, " She has done ir, she has done it." I saw the prisoner coming from his back yard. I went into the house and saw Mrs. Dunedon lying in bed on her back, with her throat cut. On cowing down stairs I saw a razor in the back-yard. Duosdon entered the yard from Mr. Glenny's house, and he noticed the razor and said, " Where could she get this from?" I took the razor and put it on a shelf in the back kitchen. The razor that I threw into the pond was the same us I saw at Dunsdou's. I knew it by some blood on the blade. dros examined—Dunsdon appeared much afflicted on the day deceased died. The prisoner said, " Oh, that I had seen the last of her ! Oh, that she had died a natural death !" He shed tears and moaned. I stopped two hours with him to comfort him. I never heard Dunsdon say, " I am not sorry she is dead ; she would never have been no use to my family or to me ; the devil is always after these people." From the position I was in, I must have heard it if he had said so. I did not see any blood on Dun; don's clothes. George Benham, of Chadwell-heath, said—l am :a linen-draper, and know the prisoner. On the 20th of October, about a quarter before ten o'clock, I saw him come into the back yard exclaiming, " She has done it, she has done it." I ran up and found her lying upon her back, with her hand upon her breast and her throat cut, the wound large enough for a pint bottle to have been put in end ways. I put my hands under her head and raised her up, the blood flowing out of the wound on both sides. I saw no splashes of blood on the bed clothes, which were quite smooth when I entered. She died in about six minutes. No other person was in the room when she died. There was no appear ance of any struggle, nor was any instrument found. I left Glenny in the room, and went int ) the yard through tne house. I saw Dunsdon, and said, " Where is the instrument that the fatal deed was done with? None has been found, and no one shall leave the premises until it is found." Dickins said, "I have it." I asked how he came by it, and he replied, "I took it from Dunadon's hand." I said, " Where is that razor?" and Dickins said, " I have hid it up behind some plates on the shelf." Rachael Summons came and looked after it. I said to Dursdon, " What a bad job!" and he said, "lam in no wise sorry she is dead ; she never would have been no use to me or any part of my family, for the devil is always in this sort of people." I then left him, and had no more conversation with him until the Coroner sat. It was in the tap-room of the Coopers' Arms beer-shop, Chadwell-heath, where I spoke to him. I saw what I thought a spot of blood upon his waistcoat, and asked him if it was not blood? He said, " No, it is red paint." I picked it off, and, breaking it between my fingers, said, "It is blood. Dunsford had been my tenant about three months. I saw nothing to induce me to think that Mrs. Dunsford was of unsound mind. I was examined before the Coroner, and began to tell my tale, but was stopped, the jury saying that they only wanted to know what I saw when I entered the room up stairs, where Mrs. Dunsdon was lying. A doctor came in on the morning of the 20th of October, but was not examined, to my knowledge, before the Coroner. Shortly after the inquest I went out of town, and on my return went before the magistrate. Dickins was not present when I said, " What a bad job; what a bad job!" Cross-examined—A day or two after the inquest Duusdou gave me notice to quit, and said he should serve Ilse with another piece of paper for speaking about him. I had not been speaking about it. I did not say that he had another female in London, and that his wife knew of it. I was examined before the jury, but they would not give inn a chance of saying what I have since said. When the inquest was over, I said that I was not satisfied. I never heard them quarrel. Mrs. Faith Louisa Benham, wite of the last witness, said—l have known the deceased about two months. I was present with deceased when the prisoner called upon her. There were some scratches on her throat before she died. I attended the inquest, and answered all the questions put to me. On the morning after I saw the scratches on her neck, I did not find a knife in the bed, but I found in her pocket, under the pillow, a small pen knife. I took that away, but I did not search the bed clothes, and never said I did. Robert Bowie, surgeon, said he had attended the de ceased about three weeks for diseased vertebra. Her suffsrings had caused great bodily debility, which had affected the nervous system. He had given orders that she should be looked after. He was not at all surprised that she should have committed suicide. He never saw anything of Dunsdon more than that he was kind and of to his wife. Mr. James Glenny, market gardener of Chadwell ' heath, was next examined on behalf of the accused. He said Dunsdon was a salesman, and went to market three times a-week. He came to witness on the 15th of October, and told him that his wife's mind was in a very bad state. lie (witness) called in the evening, and found her eyes rolling in her sockets. He knelt down at the bed-side and prayed with her. The following day the prisoner told him that his wife had asked him to get up and boil the kettle. He did so, and, whilst down stairs, he heard a noise, and upon returning again to his bed-room, he found the pillow removed a little. He (the prisoner) went to the window, when his wife pulled out a knife, and handing it to him, said, " Here it is, take it, for it will not do it." Upon hearing this, wit ness recommended the prisoner to go for her mother, and ho then ran off for her. Witness was confident the prisoner had not committed the act imputed to him. Arr. Cotton, the Chairman, said, after giving this painful case our best consideration, we are of opinion that we should not be doing our duty in discharging the man ; we have, therefore, made up our minds in sending bum to a higher tribunal. You are, therefore (address inp the prisoner), committed to take your trial at the next sessions. After a deal of arguing, the Bench decided upon ac cepting two sureties, to be bound to the amount of 5001. each for the prisoner's appearance at the next assizes. RAILWAY GAMBLING, BANK RUPTCY, and SUICIDE. List Saturday, Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Percy Arms, Percy-street, Pentonville, on the body of Mr. George Graham, aged forty-nine, late of the firm of Messrs. Graham and Adams, warehousemen, 11, Cheapside. The deceased speculated extravagantly in railway speculations, and was on the point of forming a matrimonial alliance with a highly accomplished and beautiful young lady, when he committed a determined act of self-destruction. Agnes Walters deposed that she was housekeeper to deceased, who resided at 11, Cheapside. For some time past he had been in a low desponding state of mind, in consequence, as she understood, of commercial embar rassments and unfortunate railway speculations. On the 23d u!t. she was sent to attend deceased at 24, Great Pe, cy-street, where she found him in bed with a dreadful wound in his throat. He was sensible but could not speak, and expressed in writing his wishes and wants. When she entered his room he covered his face with his hands. Ile lingered until last Wednesday, when he expired. By the CORONER-lie never threatened to destroy himself ; on the contrary, he invariably expressed great pity for suicides. Mr. George Brace, solicitor, who watched the pro ceedings for the creditors, stated that the firm appeared among the bankrupts in the Gazelle on the previous day. Mrs. Matthews, of 24, Great Percy -street, stated that deceased and a friend of his dined with her on the 23d ultimo. After dinner he took two glasses of wine. For months his manner was greatly altered, and he was so melancholy that she mentioned the circumstance to his friends. On the day in question he was particularly low- spirited. About eight o'clock he asked permission to rest himself on the bed, which she allowed him to do, in the hope that it might soothe him. He was not, however, many minutes in the bedroom when she heard a scream, aud, on entering it, saw him standing over the wash-band stand, blood flowing from his throat into a basin while in his right hand he held a razor firmly grasped. She instantly called for assistance. Mr. Lewes Steuart hearing the last witness cry for help, rushed into the room, and saw deceased in the po sition described. He attempted to wrest the razor from him, bat had a hard struggle before he succeeded, when deceased instantly fell down. Surgical assistance was procured without delay. Mr. Fogarty, surgeon, was in attendance upon de ceased, whose case was hopeless from the first. He was sensible, but could not speak, and stated his feelings in writing. His death was the result of the wound, after the infliction of which he was quite sane. Mr. Adams had been in partnership with deceased for five years and a half. Deceased latterly speculated largely and lost extensively in railway shares. It was difficult to ascertain the precise amount of his losses, which was very great. In one transaction alone he lost 2,000/. Although deceased was not what he would call a wealthy man, yed their trade was of a most promising character. Since he lost so heavily by railway specula tions, he became an altered man, and was exceedingly low and dejected in spirits. The manuscripts produced were written by deceased after he cut his throat. The following are the writings alluded to, and all bear the date of the 24th of November, 1845: "1. Dear Friends,—My fate is unfortunate. Do throw a veil over my errors. God bless you, and pardon me. Oh! my good friend Scott." "2. Dear Jackson,—My fate is unfortunate. Throw a veil over my errors. Poor Scott. God bless him, and pardon me.—G. G." " 3. I leave all matters in your hands with other good advisers, Scott and Jackson." " 4. Agreeable to what is in my will in Wren's hands." The jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." A solicitor who was present said, that he had to attend that day the meetings of the creditors of two extensive firms who, from losses in railway speculations, were compelled to wind up their affairs and stop payment. I TESTIMONIAL TO A CLERGYMAN.—On Tuesday morning, at ten o'clock, previous to Divine service, the chapteo•house of Winchester Cathedral offered a scene of much interest upon the presentation of various pieces of plate, in value about 170/., which was be subscribed for by many of the clergy, and several of the most influential laymen of the county, in token of the very effective services of the late Chancellor, Dr. Dealtry, now Archdeacon of Surrey. The subscription to the testimonial was limited to 1/. Is. or under, from each individual. The plate consisted of the following articles :—A handsome salver, with two smaller hand waiters, a coffee-pot and stand, with sugar• basin and tongs, and cream ewer, and four handsome candlesticks, with suitable snuffers and stand. Th e arl of Eldon has given 1,0001, to each of the following societies in connexion with the Church in the counties where the Noble Earl's estates are situated :—The Salisbury Diocesan Church Building Association, the Glou cester and Bristol Diocesan Church Building Association, and the Durham Diocesan Society for the Employment of addi. tional Curates. It is said tliese splendid pecuniary gifts are as a " thanks-offering " for the birth of a son and heir to his title and family property. MARKETS. BURGH, DEC. 19.

THE SUMMONS TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL.—Many have supposed that Lord John Russell foresaw the precise time of his being " sent for" by the Queen: a correspondent, whom we can trust, shows that the forsight did not exist— the summons was quite unexpected. This is an extract from our correspondent's letter :--" Lord John Russell was sitting with his wife at Douglas's Hotel (in Edinburgh), reading to her, at 10 o'clock in the evening, when the Queen's mes senger arrived ; and on hearing that somebody wished to speak to him, he declined seeing him, unless he mentioned his name and the business he came upon. The messenger sent up his name, which was unknown to Lord John; but declined mentioning his errand. Lord John then refused to see him ; and he was obliged to send up by the waiter the Queen's private letter."—Spectator. A PIG FOR A GTJIDE.—A friend of mine has always contended that a pig is a sagacious beast, and he instances it by the following fact :—He describes himself as having beau lost in a very extensive park, the undulating and wooded character of which prevented him from catching any glimpse of the house, or of any point of exit ; and after riding about until he became even more bewildered, he at last disturbed a pig in a heap of fern. That it was turned out to feed on the acorns and beech-nuts, then thick on the ground, was evident; and it struck him that, by riding at it, it would run homewards for protection. It galloped off, and, after the run of a mile, brought him to one of the keeper's lodges, which was hidden by trees and ivy.-21'Ote book of a Naturalist. PEACE WITH THE UNITED STATES—RECOMMEN DATION TO MERcHANTS.—It has been thought by friends of the cause of peace, in Manchester, that friendly addresses from the merchants of this country to the merchants of Ame rica, would hare every salutary influence on the public mind in both countries. Such addresses to be short, to deprecate war, to eulogize the blessings of peace, to acknowledge the absolute dependance of commerce on that blessing, and to urge national arbitration in cases of national dispute. The suggestion seems to us a very good one. Such addresses would attract attention by their novelty, and would strengthen the hands of both Governments in resorting to arbitration.— Leeds Mercury. TUNNEL THROUGH THE CALTON HILL.—The last brick in the arching of this undertaking is to be laid to-day (Friday), when the whole—extending to four hundred yards-- will be completed. Workmen are busily employed preparing the ground for the permanent rails, and as the laying down of these will occupy only a few days, the tunnel will very soon be ready for use. The operations at the other points along the line from this to Berwick are with a single excep tion, equally advanced. The point referred to is at Piershill, where, in consequence of the encroachments of the line on the Riding-school and hospital, considerable time was neces sarily consumed in the erection of new accommodation. The work, however, at this point, continues to be carried on with all possible expedition. For several months back a great number of miles have been finished off, especially towards the Berwick terminus, where the buildings connected with the station are in the course of erection.—Edinburgh Acker tiger.

THE BASTARDY LAWS RIGHT OF MARRIED WOMEN TO BECOME PLAINTIFFS LN QUESTIONS OF AFFI LIATION.—A case involving a question of considerable im portance, came before the sitttng magistrate, Mr. Grove, at the Woolwich Police-court, on Friday last, on a summont obtained by a married woman named Holt, against a young man named Terry, whom she charged with being the father of her illegitimate child. The husband of the complainant is a private of marines, and it was during his absence in South America, where he remained for a period of four years, that the child was born, of which the woman alleged the defendant was the father. The view taken by Mr. Je remy when the summons was applied for, was whether a woman debarred, as in this case, from all intercourse with her husband, was not to be considered as a single woman for the time. Mr. Pelham, who appeared for the defence, took an objection in limine to the summons, which he con tended could not stand, as the complainant, being a married woman, had no standing in law, she could not be plaintiff in any action at common law. The present Act of Parliament was made for single women, and a wife could never lose her marital rights except by divorce. The husband must be the complainant, and even if he where, it was doubtful whether, in a case like this, she could give evidence involving an accusation of adultery against herself. Mr. Nokes, the clerk, said it was singular that a similar application was made at Greenwich that morn ing, and both himself and Messrs. Traill and Jeremy, after looking closely at all the Acts bearing on the question, were of opinion that the summonses ought to be granted. It was true the Act was not for married women, but the question was whether a woman whose husband could not possibly have access to her was not to be dealt with in the light of a single woman. Mr. Pelham said it was quite clear that if' a married woman had half a dozen children by as many men, her husband must support them all. It was clear, also, that the settlement of the ch il dren must follow that f the father, and this would be the view the magistrates would take of it, supposing the children were paupers. In civil matters, even where the wife was separated from the hue band and occupied a house of her own, it was called the husband's house, even though he had never been in it and she had paid the rent. If the parties were married legally, it was only by the same legal mode that they could be di vorced. the case was ultimately dismissed from the absence of any corroborative evidence for the complainant. ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY DEFEATED BY CANINE INSTINCT.—A most singular instance of canine saga city occurred near Horsham on Monday evening last. Mr. A. Blackiston, the landlord of the Queen's Head Inn, Hors ham, went with his horse and cart to Newick on Saturday last, and took with him his dog, a very sagacious ani mal of the terrier tribe; but soon after his arrival at Newick his deg left him and returned home, and re mained there all day Sunday and Monday until six o'clock in the evening, when lie was seen to go off on the road to Newick, and proceeded as far as Burchenbridge Mill (a very dark and lonely spot, about one mile and a half from Horsham), when he must have heard his master coming, as he struck up howling, as if to warn him of ' approaching danger. (Mr. B. heard a howling as far as a mile on the road.) The dog waited there and continued howling until Mr. 13. came up; then, appearing very much pleased, trotted at a few yards' distance before the horse for about 200 yards, when, all at once, he flew in the face of a man concealed in the hedge, and immediately another man sprang out of the other side of the road and tried to catch the reins of Mr. Blackiston's horse, but, being alarmed so suddenly by the dog, missed his aim, and of course, Mr. B. made as fast as possible for home. Now, ' there may be many questions arise from this. Hew came the dog to go off just at six o'clock on Monday evening? How came he to know his master was coming that night? How was it he went as far as the mill and then began howl ing? To these questions we can make no satisfactory reply, except, as regards the last, we conclude the animal must have seen these men standing behind the hedge, but then he must be possessed of more than usual sagacity to suspect them of mischief. All we can say is—it is a fact. —Brighton Herald. No. 16,647. !,10Ti)ON Y . TUESDAY MORNING SUN, DECEMBER 0, 1845. PRICE SD.
