On Ist November, post Bvo., THE DEFENCELESS STATE of GREAT BRITAIN. By Sir FRANCIS B. HEAD, Bart. John Murray, Albemarle-street. Thomas Last, stepfather of the deceased, was next called and examined. —I recollect the decea•t d going out on Saturday evening, about a'f-past six o'clock. She said that she Ras going to nit et Mr. Drory. She was then in good health and spirits. She remarked th,t she would soon return. I saw her return when she went out the first time. It was about half-past five o'clock. On Monday morning, about ten o'clock, 1 went in search of the deceased, nil having , been home all night. After examining the neighbourhood for some distance round, at nut eight o'clock I found her lying dead upon the ground two fields from the •tile where she said she was going to meet Mr. Drory. She was lying flit on her face, her right hand under her left hand, which was bent upwards. She bad her bonnet and cloak on, as she had left home on the previous evening. I observed a cord round her nick. I think it was turned three times roundh her neck. Oue ead of the card was in her hand loose: I immediately ran to my own house, and Mr. Hammond, the landlord of this house, seeing me, returned with me to the body, and turned her over. She was black in the face and swollen. I saw the clrd was very tight round her neck, and blood was oozing from her mouth, nose, and eyes. There was some blood on the ground. We removed the body to where it now lies. D R. TRAILL'S JOSEPHUS. Edited by ISAAC TAYLOR.

" A trial of considerable interest to Life Assurance Offices and the public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 5391. in the Albion Company as security for an advance, the , payment of which policy was now disputed by the Albion, on t " ound that at the time it was effected the fact. of the. ured pat 'ring been a man of in temperate habits was conceal from th e. Ihe chief evidence turned upon the question as* the degree intemperance that had been exhibited, and the resu.t was, that a verdict was given against the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for 401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance of the action being brought by' one office against another presents a striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode by which absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of protesting them selves in every case by due inquiries before the grantinr f each po licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility of the com pleteness of such inquiries by holding themselves precluded from raisipg any future question. In the present case two offices are found to be diametrically opposed in their opinionS as to what can properly invalidate a claim, and yet the public are expected to be able to guare themselves against such contingences. Similar cases have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously injure the progress of life assurance. The very principle upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH 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 Englanf, 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, 1549, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Propnsals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. Gd.: of.these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,125/. 6s. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.

P rou t for publi cation, will fully confirm. " I know you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but let me emphatically tell you, in merento any friend who may suffer from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them. In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acqu intances receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they dissipate it altogether; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."

The village stands in a valley, adjacent to a by-lane leading to the high road to Ongar, and consists pf a few straggling homesteads and labourers' cottages. At one of these farms lived Mr. Thomas Drory, son of a highly respectable yeoman at Great Burst, ad, where he holds three farms. He has only held it two or three months, his father having previously occupied it. During the last two years of the father's possession a man named Thomas Last acted as bailiff to him, and, with his wife, who offieitted as housekeeper, and his daughter-in-law, Joel Denny, lived on the farm. In the course of the summer Mr. Drory, see., discovering some improper in timacy between his Bonged - the daughter of the bailiff, gave the latter notice to quit the property, in order to break off the connexion. Last accordingly left, with his wife and daughter, and they took up their abode in some cottages about half a mile from the farm. In a few weeks the farm was left by Mr. Drory to his son's management, who, notwithstanding his father's strict in junetions, resumed the intimacy with the unfortunate girl Danny. About this time it' transpired that Drory was paying his addresses to another girl of the name of Gibling, who resides in this town, and on the parents of Denny remonstrating with him he denied the fact. Eventually, however, he admitted it to be the case, and, as the girl Denny was far advanced in preg naey, he was exposed to much talk far the heartless manner in which he had treated her. As the period of her confinement approached the poor creature impor tuned him fur money, which he promised, 'but only with the understanding, it would srem, that she could disown all connexion with him. The unhappy girl on more than one occasion, to hide her shame, yielded to his wishes, and disclaimed all intimacy with him. Her conceal the t h h o e we i v a e c r t: ihneterfered, resolved upon and, giving h e r p o ison finding he could not with a view of procuring abortion; at least such was the assertion the unfortunate creature made to her mother. On Saturday afternoon, about four o'clock, she quitted her parent's house. She returned in a short time, and appeared in somewhat better spirits, which the mother ascertained to have resulted from her having met Drory, and his promising to marry her. She said that ha had arranged to meet her in half an hour or so, and she thought all would be happy yet with her. At the appointed time she left, and shortly after wards was seen in Drory's company, walking over some meadows away from their homes. She was never afterwards seen alive. Her parents waited up the whole night in anxious suspense for her return. At day break Last started out in one direction in search, and the mother in another. After wandering about far two or three hours, tl ofether, in passing thro u gh a field known as "Seven-acre-field," belonging to the tarm of Mr. George Combrere, a mile distant from the poor man's cottage, noticed what he thought to be an ox lying on* the grass in a secluded part of the meadow, which is overshaded by a thick clump of trees. A rivulet which separates the parishis of Donninghurst and Shinfield passes close to the spot. On approaching it he discovered if to be the body of his unfortunate step with her face downward, and a d a briefu g h t e glance S h e sufficedwas violent death. The poor cries brought assistance lyi t n o a show that she had met with a from several farms, and on the body being turned it was seen that she bad been strangled by a rope which had been twisted several times round her neck. Intelligence of the discovery was instantly conveyed to Mr. Coulson, the superintendent of the Essex constabulary, stationed at Brentwood, and in consequence of some private infor mation he proceeded at once to trace out Mr. T. Drory. On his way to Donninghurst he found the latter at a farm-house, seated in front of the fire, and he never turned round when he heard Mr. Coulson making inquiries for him until the officer ad dressed the owner of the farm, and said, " Why, that is Mr. Drory, is it not?" Drory then got up, and the officer desired him to go with him, and see the girl Denny, who had been reported to him as having been Brand dead in a meadow that morning. Drory went with Mr. Coulson, but on reaching the meadow hesi tated in following him. The officer, however, insisted upon his proceeding, and as they advanced to the body, which was left in the same state as when it was dis covered, Drory became deadly pale, and could scarcely walk. On reaching the corpse he turned his head away and walked aside while Mr. Coulson carefully examined it. The features were shockingly distorted, with marks of blood about the face and clothes. A rope or thick sashline securely twisted round her throat, penetrating the flesh of the neck, proved at once that she had been strangled, while severe marks on the hands, as if they had been bitten and torn, indicated the desperate strug gle she had been engaged in, and the utter impossibility of her having committed the act herself. On the cord being unfastened the neck and throat were discovered to be cut and the flesh excoriated by the violence used. The impression of the officer and those collected on the spot was that the noose had been slipped over the head and drawn tight from behind, and that it was then twisted three or four times round her throat so tightly as to effect strangulation. After the examination was completed a gate was procured, and the corpse was con veyed to the parents cottage. -Mr. Coulson, the superintendent, having obtained additional evidence imputing guilt to Drory, took him into custody on suspicion of having murdered the un happy girl, and late on Sunday evening the prisoner was taken before Mr. Lester, a county magistrate, who on hearing of the murder proceeded to the police station of this place, and, having received evidenc3 implicating Drory, remanded him for further examination on the charge. THE INQUEST. At eleven o'clock iu the forenoon Mr. C. C. Lewis, the Coroner for the southern division of the county, com menced an inquiry concerning the unfortunate deceesed, Jael Denny, at a small farmhouse occupied by Mr. Ham mond, at Donninghurst, situate about midway from the farm tenanted by the accused and the residence of the deceased's family. The proceedings created the greatest possible interest. Captain API - lardy, th e chief c constabulary, was present, with Mr. of the Essex Mr. Superintend e nt May and Mr. Coulson, of the force. Mr. Wo odward, an attorney of Billericay, attended to wa t c h the evidence for the accused. Mr. Drory, father of the prisoner, was The jury having view e d t h e rema i n s of the unfortu nate woman at the cott age tenante d by her parents, the following evidence was gone into:— Louisa Last, mother o f t h e deceased, was the first witness called. On being sworn ceased, Jael Danny, was my sat fiai a d: down and she said—The de daughter by a former hus band. She went out on Saturday afternoon, and re turned about half past five o'clock. I asked her whether she had seen Thomas Drory, the accused. She said, a m wnh y d: dn lookeda I n g h camet e a r t b( the eek watch,d deceased), e s a h sael and " Yes," he had put her in geed spirits, and she was go ing to meet him again at hslf-past Biz' She then said, " Let us have tea." I made the tea, and my husband, cu t, nor was the cloak torn. partook of it. While at the meal the deceased got up going to the first stile." she then put on her bonnet and be gone long, I arn only was not bent when she went cloak and went out. She did not return. Her bonnet Here Mr. Coulson, the superintendent of the Brent wood division of the constabulary, produced the bonnet and cloak which were found on the deceased. The for mer was bent and damaged both in front and crown, and the cloak torn, showing t h a t they had been exposed to much violence. Witness's examination resumed—When the deceased went out she put a piece of check over her head and un der her chin, as she was subject to the faceache. By the CORONER—Before we went to live at the house where we now reside we lived in an eff-hrind farm be longing to Mr. Drory, Ben.' father of the prisoner. Thomas Drory, the accused, lodged in the house with us; I mean the person who is now in custody. I k new that he was always with my daughter when he could be. She was in the family- wa y, and within a fortnight of her confinement. I know ef my own knowledge that she was on terms of intimacy with him. As soon as I knew that she was in the fatnilY wa y I told Thomas Drory of it. I said to him, "'Thomas, you must be a Italian. I ;0 not and said, d ‘i myself,w i l know you are go ing to be married to Miss Gibling, an d my daughter is seven months gone in the family-way by you." I mentioned the subject to him several times afterwards. He always denied it. Ile said it was none 1 of his, and he knew n othing about it. I know the paper now produced. On the 29th of September I was in Mr. Drory'„ garden. 'phonies w_ I was there, a n d I su d denly missed him. Soon afterwards went to th e h ouse i n %ales I now live. My daughter was there, and I saw she was much flurried as soon as I went in. I said, " What is the matter with you ?" She said, " I will tell you by and by." I went upstairs, end I these found Thomas Drory under my bed. He got up and handed me the paper now produced, and wanted me to sign it. I ri fused. I went down stairs and said to my daughter, " You must bo a fool to wri a this paper ; w hat is it?' (It is in the handwriting of the deceased). Deceased made no remark. The folloaing is a copy of the paper:— " September 29. " This is to prove that the trouble I am in is not of 'I homas Drory; therefore all that read this had bat. r trouble themselves about their own business." Witness—The handwriting is that of the deceased. I never heard her say she attempted to commit suicide. She said Thomas had given ber poison. I noticed that her lips and flash were swollen, which oho said was eauszd by taking the poison which Thomas had given By the Jury—l have seen her and Thomas Drory together. I spoke to him one night about her. That was after she was in the family way. He made no reply. Mr. William Hammond, farmer, of Donninghurst, and occupier of the farm at which thi irspiry wus held, was next sworn—l was called yesterday morning to the de ceased. I first heard the cries of Thomas Last, the pre vious witness. I went to him, and we proceeded to where the deceased was lying. She was lying straight on her face, and about four yards from the body lay a fur tippet (it was produced). I assisted in turning her over. I saw the cord round her neck; it was turned round three times, and she had one end in her hand. Her face was swollen and black. There was some blood in a stream on the ground about a foot long. There was also blood oczing from her mouth, nose, and ears. By the CORONER—I examined the cord an di saw how it was put on. The noose was placed behind the neck. A small portion of the curtain of the bonnet and the collar of the cloak had caught in under the cord which was round her neck. I have often seen her and Thorns Drory together. The last time was about three maks ago, in Mr. Drory'e field. The arms and legs were very cojd aed'stiff. Mr. Thomas Coulson, superintendent of the Essex constabulary stationed at Brentwood, was then called— From information I received yesterday morning I went to Donninghurst. On my way I stopped at the house of Robert Moote, a firmer, and, seeing Thomas Drory seated there, I asked him if he knew the deceased. He said, "Yes." I took him with me, and found the body as described by the last witnesses. I asked Drory when he saw the deceased last. He said, "At half-past five last (Saturday) evening, and that he had not heard of her this morning." I took him to the spot and saw the deceased lying on her face. The left side of her nose where she lay was fisttened. I removed the cord from her neck. It was almost imbedded in it. The noose of the cord had cut the skin of the neck. It was turned twice round the neck very tight, so much so that the neck was swollen above it. I then took the prisoner into custody. He did not speak. I took him to the deceased's house and searched him. He said ho had a letter in his box which would prove the child was not his. We then went to the house where the prisoner lived, and on searching his box found the letter which has been produced, as well as two pieces of cord. One end of one piece hid been recently cut. (The cord round the neck and the piece produced corresponded ex- Body.) The prisoner said that the deceased and he had been acquainted, but that he had broken it off more than nine months. William Lennon, an officer in the constabulary, said that he took the cord off the deceased's neck, and was present when the card was taken from the prisoner's box. The ends corresponded, and they appeared to have formed one cord. When Drory was in custody he said that Louisa Last had asked him if his rezers were all right, and he answered, " I will go and see." He said that he asked her why she inquired of him, and she answered that she had heard the deceased say she would destroy herself. Louisa Last was recalled, and denied ever having; had any conversation with the prisoner upon the subj-ct. John Harris was next called—l work for Mr. Drory. I sew the gee , (teed and Thomas Drory together about half-past 5 o'clock on Saturday, going across the mea dow from Mr. Drory's farm. They ware tog( ther about 20 minutes. They parted, and each went in the direc tion of their homes. I have seen them together before two or three times during the last month. Some times before that I had seen them together often. Hoard Drory say, two or three months ago, that he should like to shove her off (meaning the deceased), as he was car rying things on too far, and he was apprehensive of getting into trouble. When I left my work on Saturday evening I overtook the deceased, after she had parted with Thomas Drory. I said, " Well, Jael, have you been fur a walk?" She said, "Yes; I have been having a word or two with Mr. Drory." I said," I saw you to gether at the top of the meadow." She slid, " Yes, and I have to meet him again at half-past 6 o clock at the stile, at the bottom of the next meadow." The spot where the body was found is nearly a quarter of a mile from the stile where she said they were to meet at half past 6 o'clock. William Stone Hubbard, who was employed on Drory's farm, was then examined—My master, Thomas Drory, went out at half-past six or seven o'clock on Saturday night last. He said he was going to Brentwood, and taok a haslet with some eggs in it. I do not know when he came back. I went to bed at eight o'clock. Ho had the key with him. I saw him at half-past six o'clock on Sunday morning; as soon as he had attended to his cows and had breakfast he west out, and I saw no more of him until I saw him in the custody of Mr. Coulson. Mr. John Williams, surgeon, of Brentwood, who had that morning made a post nt)rtent examination at the order of the coroner, was then called and exatninod—l found the eyes much distended and perfused with blood, pupils much dilated, and tongue protruding, with swel ling of face. There was a laceration of the skin covering the throat, and marks of two cords having been tied tightly round the neck. There was particular laceration on either side of the neck, beneath which it was much swollen. There was ex treme ecchymosis on the upper pert of the chest, such as might bo produced by a heavy blow or a per son kneeling upon it. There was a contraction of the muscles of the arms and hands, and an abrasion of the skin of the right elbow. The right hand appeared t ) have been bitten, and there were also marks cf teeth on the back of the hand, and there were also scratches on the left arm and hand. On opening the head I found an unnatural congestion of the brain, spreading over the whole and through the substance of the brain. The heart was distended on the right side with coagulated blood. The lungs were congested with blood, and the right pleura adhered, the result of previous inflamma tion. The stomach contained ordinary food, and the coats were healthy. Oa opening the uterus I foiled it contained a foetus in the ninth month—a male, and I have no doubt it was alive at the time of its mother's death. CORONER—From the examination you have made what is your opinion as to the cause of death? Witness —Decidedly by strangulation. CORONER—From the extent and appearance of the in juries you have described, can you tell us whether the deceased could have strangled herself in the manner and with the violence exhibited on the neck? Witness — Certainly not. CORONER—I believe a very slight pressure on the trachea quickly produces insensibility, and thereby pre vents a person inflicting any great violence upon him self? Witness—Yes, that is the case. CORONER—Then, do you mean to say that the de ' ceased could not have inflicted such injuries upon herself as you have observed? Witness—She could not; for if she had attempted to strangle herself, she would have been rendered insensible before she could have caused so much violence as was to be seen on her neck. CORONER—About the ecchymosis on her chest, what do you say ? Witness—My opinion is, that it was pro duced by a person kneeling upon her chest just before death. The CORONER then briefly addressed tho jury, and remarked that, as the police were in possession of other facts of considerable importance, it would be necessary for the inquiry to be adjourned. The proce-dings were accordingly adjourued. Captain M'Hardy, the chief of the constabulary, in formed the coroner that marks of blood had been found on the prisoner's clothing by Mr. Superintendent Coul son, but that he had denied that they were blood. At the Coroner's suggestion the clothing was sent up to Professor Taylor, of Guy's Hospital, that the spots might be analyzed. The deceased was 20 years of age, and possessed a re markably fine figure, and prepossessing features. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, Oar. 14.

Yesterday the Marylebone Police court was crowded to excess, owing to a generally circulated report that a desperate burglar bad be ea shot and killed, and that one of the party with whom he was connected was to be brought up for examination bef,ate Mr. Broughton. At two o'clock the prisoner, who gave his name William Dyson, was placed at the bar; he was pale, and evi dently in a very wt ak condition, and during the inquiry he occasionally sat down upon the form behind him, at the same time holding one hand to his head. The first witness called was James Paul, who said, I am butler to Mr. Holford, who is now in America. Be tween ten and eleven list night I saw everything safe, and at twenty minutes to two this morning I was awoke from my sl.-ep by a noise proceeding from the ban queuing -room. I sprang out of bed, and look e d out of window, and saw the s hadow of a man on the lawn. I saw the shadow move. I felt satisfied that there was something wrong, and I awoke two of my fellow,er vanti, both of whom I armed. I descended to the ban quetting-room floor, and saw a glaring light, and I went to the stable and aroused the coachman, to one of whom I gave a loaded gun, and the other took up a pitchfork. I sent them to the south side of the house, taking with me, in another direction, a double-barrelled pistol, loaded, with a bayonet attached. The groom and foot man had also been called out, and one of them was armed with a drawn sword. They and I took up our station at the north front of the mansion. Presently I heard the report of a gun, and on hastening to the spot I saw a man running from the window of the banquet ting-room. I followed him, and snapped one of the locks of my pistol, but it missed fire. I directly afterwards fired the second barrel at him, at which period he had hid himself behind a bush, having previously ejaculated, " For God's sake don't shoot me." I left the spot to assist my fellow-servantr, who were crying out lustily, and I heard that other men who had been in the ban quetting-room hal made their escape, and I found that the prisoner was secured by one of the coachmen, who was holding him securely down. I called " Police," when, in addition to the other servants, the gardener came, but we could not then find either of the other parties by whom the mansion had been entered. In answer to Mr. Broughton as to what had become of the man who was shot in the bush, witness expressed an opinion that ho thought he must be dead from the charge of shot which he had received. George Bennet (the head coachman)—On being called up I armed myself with a pitchfork, and went to the park side of the house, with one of my fellow-servants. I saw three men coining out of the banquetting-room facing the park. I beard the firing of a gun, and seeing a man running I followed, and on overtaking him I knocked him down by a blow with my pitchfork. Mr. BROUGHTON—Can you recognise the prisoner? Witness—Yes, he is the man whom I knocked down, as I have stated. Mr. BROUGHTON—What more do you know of this affair? Witness—One cf my fellow -servants came up when he (prisoner) was lying upon the ground from the effects of the blow which I had given him, and I told him to mind him while I went to look for somo others. I heard the report of a pistol again, and there were then loud cries of police. Mr. BROUGHTON—After you knocked the prisoner dawn with the pitchfork, as you have statad, did he say anything? Witness—Re cried out, " Oh, God, I'm dead!" John Hall (the under coachman)—Mr. Paul, the but ler, gave to me a loaded gun, telling me that there were th!eves in the house. I saw three men come out of the dining-room window, and I fired. I heard one cry out "Oh, God!" I raw the coachman knock down the pri soner, who said he was killed, and prayed for mercy. fie was bleeding from the head, and for several minutes I held him. Collins, 111 S, said—Hearing the report of the fire arms, and the cry of " Police," I went tothe premises of Mr. Holford, and saw the prisoner lying down, two per sons having hold of Lim. He was bleeding profusely. I hit him, and with Paul, thn butler, proceeded in quest of the other parties, who bad effected an entry into the premises. We examined the bush at which the butler fired, bat saw no one near it. There was, however, blood chise by. I sprung my rattle, and on other officers coming up the prisoner was taken to the station house. Mr. BROUGHTON—Did he seem much injured? Wit ness—He did, Sir, and was very faint. I asked him where he belonged to, and he said to Paddington. Mr. BROUGHTON—Did anything more pass? Witness —H,. told me that there were four of them concerned in it, and that they had made an arrangement at a public house at Battle-bridge to meet at the house of Mr. Hol ford at a certain time, and that Each was to take a sepa rate road. Mr. BROUGHTON—Has the prisoner been searched? Witness—He has, Sir, bat all that was found upon him was ifd. and a key. Mr. Bnorronrorr—Has search been made amongst the bushes, or in the canal, for the man shot at by the but. ler, and respecting whom no further information has yet been gained? Witness—Yes, Sir. I have traced blood over some fences, over which he must either have climbed or been carried by some of his companions. Mr. BROD•HTON—When you saw the traces of blood, as you have stated, how far was it from Mr. Holford's premises? Witness —About 150 yards from the outer gate of the park. Some pieces of candle and a crowbar, which had been picked up close to where the prisoner was found, Were produced, as was also part of an ormolu ornament of considerable value ; it had Leen broken off a figure under a plateau in the banquetting apartment. Dr,:ge, 31 D, said—After hearing a second report of Hofire-arms,lforws prem i ses, Igo overa r. then d saw gate of the the pro carriage is l:1r lying road do of tl w with two officers beside him. Mr. BROUGHTON—You have a hat in your hand, I perceive? (Witness here produced a hat, in which were several holes through which shot had evidently passed; there were not fewer than seven or eight perforations.) Mr. BROUGHTON—Where did you find this hat? Wit ness—la a ditch in the park, Sir, just outside of - the premises, very near to the bush at which the butler fired. Mr. BROUGHTON—Did you find any blood about the bush? Witness—l• did not see any, but your Worship will observe that there is blood inside of the hat. (This was found to be the case.) Young, 13 S, said—l saw the prisoner lying down on the ground, and he said its of no use searching the place any further; there. were only four of us, two inside and two but Witness produCed a sling which he picked up at a short distance from where the prisoner was taken; the raid sling was formed by a large stone being placed at the bottom of a handkerchief, the ends of which being laid hold of by anAperson, would enable them to strike a terrific blow, which, inflicted upon the head7would probably *se injury of a fatal nature. Lockeby, 180 s—l went this morning to examine She mansion, and found that one of the windows leading to the banquetting-room bad been forced open; on the sill of the window I found marks made by a crow bar, such an one as that now brought forward. Mr. BROUGHTON—Did you observe any blood on the window? Witness—l did. Mr. BROUGHTON—Have you any further evidence to give? Witness—At the spot where the butler shoe at the man I saw marks cf blood, and there was a quantity of blood leading to the railings. I went across the park, and in a shed in the Zoological Gardens I found in the crane paddock, upon some straw, marks of blood, as if a man had lain down. At the court this morning I said to the prisoner, you have had a narrow chance of being killed; and ho said, " Yes, perhaps it would have been as well if I had been killed." j ;Mr. BROUGHTON (to the prisoner)—Do you wish to o t s s mh i a s a y a t nn a a n wo n e y n e h c , t o h e c e n a gPr N wasn a knockedbays lPr is oner—No, ho er s — ta downsen' gune nswithlstruck.h ; t an a i ds— . I DI P I i e t Icr withhemcf o o a r l d k i eno r ei , ct at morent i u e a man stood over mo with a sword and swore he would run it through me. Additional remarks were made by parties interested in the case, and the general impression was that the Man shot by Paul, the butler, had been carried off by bis companions and thrown by them into the Regent's Canal. Mr. BROUGHTON, after remarking upon the many suburban burglaries recentlycommitted, advised Mr. Paul to offer a reward for the apprehension of the other par ties concerned in the daring entry of Mr. Holferd's pre mises; he had better communicate at once with his (Mr. Holford's) agent. The prisoner was remanded till Monday next.

METALLIC PLUG FOR BoATe.--The deplorable loss -of life at the Channel Islands, caused principally by the plugs being out of the boats, when the Superb steamer struck, has induced a correspondent of a morning paper to recommend the general fitting of a certain metallic plug, which, be says, will only cost 10s. each. We believe, how ever, that there is at present in partial use in the navy, a me tallic plug, invented by Lieut. Stevens, of her Majesty's ship St. George, at Devonport, which most admirably answers all the purposes squired. It is simple in construction and ap plication, and, moreover, has the additional recommendation of cheapness, inasmuch as it can be fitted for the small cost of half a crown. The Admiralty have approved of the little but important contrivance, and we believe it has been sup plied to the boats of above a dozen of her Majesty's ships of al classes. Commander Thomas Thompson has also pro ected a safety plug, which the Admiralty have ordered to be fitted to the boats of her Majesty's screw-ship Blenheim, at Portsmouth, for trial.— United Service Gazette. It is said that a bet has been made by a Liverpool gentleman that London stock will be quoted 2001. before the 31st December, 1851.—Liverpool Albion. SUPPOSED INCENDIARISM AT LIMBER. --Yesterday information reached us that several hay stacks, the pro perty of Mr. Hopwood, an extensive farmer in Limber, had been fired. It is supposed to' be the act of an incendiary.— Hull Packet. The Nicaragua route to California across the isthmus saves 900 miles as compared with Panama, and has the ad vantage of a healthy climate. Hopes seem to be entertained, moreover, that the temporary transit when it shall be fully organised may be accom plished in twenty-four hours. It will commence from Grey Town, ascend the San Juan and cross t h e l a k e to the city of Nicaragua, where a land journey of only 15 miles remains to reach the Pacific. The contemplated fare for the passage is 50 dolls., including 2501 b. of bag gage for each passenger. This is lower than the charge at Panama, and consquently the saving of distance and the advantage to health will be also accompanied by a more than proportionate diminution of expense. Nothing in connexion with the present movements on the Pacific will, be watched with more interest than these proceedings. It has been commonly reported that the number who crossed the isthmus last year was 70,000, and the lowest estimate Iva; 50,000. The in creasing excitement regarding California and the shortening of the distance, coupled with the removal of inconveniences and dangers, give the stimulus of still better prospects for the future. Should everything go, therefore, as smoothly as appears to be calculated upon, a year or two can scarcely elapse before results may be realiz al from this new epening more remarkable than any that have yet been dreamed of. Tho course proposel for the temporary transit is the same as that which was surveyed by Lieutenant Bailey in 1837 for the canal. The company find, however, .that there is every prospect of a large saving being effected by carrying the permanent work to the more northerly terminus, described in the pamphlet of Prince Louis Napoleon. Mr. Bailey's estimate of 4,000,0001. for the cost of its construction is in excess, therefore, of that which they entertain, and the change of route which re duces the elevation to be crossed from 487 feet down to 56 feet has also the advantage of bringing them to the port of Realsjo, the finest in the Pacific, and about 130 miles nearer to San Francisco. The charter granted by the State of Nicaragua pro vides that the canal is to be completed in 12 years. The company are td have the exclusive enjoyment of it for 85 years after the date cf completion, and to receive 15 per cent. out of the net profits for a further period of ten or 20 years. Meanwhile they are to have a monopoly of the temporary route. They aro also to have the ex clusive privilege of steam navigation and of road-making throughout) the entire state for 97 years, together with a free grant of eight sections of land of six miles square, to be chosen by themselves on the banks of the canal. In return for these privileges the State of Nica ragua is to receive nothing, with the exception of some minor payments, until 7 per cent. shall have been paid to the stockholders. Of all profits exceeding 7 per cent. it is to receive one-fifth during the first 20 years, and one-fourth thereof er. The minor payments con sist of 2,0001. a year until the completion of the canal, and a donation of 40,000/. of its stock. The most remarkable circumstance in connexion with this charter is its favourable nature as compared with that to which the late King of Holland subscribed, at the head of a Dutch company, in 1830. The limita• tion to 85 or rather to 97 years would be met by a reserve of 1041 per cent., which would return the capital in that time, a d with this exception there is scarcely anything to restrict its advan tages except the stipulation that Nicaragua shall participate to the extent of a fifth in all the surplus pro fits beyond 7 per cent. In the charter arranged with the King of Holland (ar.d which was interrupted only by the Belgian Revolution) the dividends were to be limited to 10 per cent., and the surplus profits were to be applied to pay off the shareholders, when the entire property in the canal would pass to the Republic. That a cautious and maritime people like the Dutch, ac quainted with all kinds of canal work, should have re garded tho undertaking at that period, and under such conditions, as a remunerative one, must be held as a ~ i gnifieant illustration of what may now be exrected. Cali fornia, Oreg on , an d Vancouver 'e Island m ere then vir tually unknows; the Australian colonies had scarcely come into existence, the tonnage of the United States was about one-third its present amount, and China was closed against, the world. The traffic that would pass through the canal, esti ma'ed now on the basis adopted in 1843, would amount to 1,700,0001., or 42i per cent. on the outlay. In the hands of the most timid, this calculation would scarcely be reduced to any point that would leave the enterprise other than a legitimate and a'tractive one. But the great feature always to be borne in mind with regard to it is, that it would be so identified with the progress of the world that its returns at any one period could never be taken to limit our ideas of what they would become thereafter. At the present moment, for instance, the calculations would be bayed upon the existing tonnages of the various maritime Powers and the present posi tion of the channels of general commerce, but the shipping of the Unite' States doubles itself every fifteen years, and that of England still increases ra pidly ; and thus, before the expiration of the twelve years appointed for the completion of the work, its principal sources of income, even if the business of the world went on only in its ordinary course, would be nearly doubled. The same process would take place during every similar succeeding period, and hence nothing but a reduction of tolls (which, however, would again produce an increase of business) could keep the ultimate revenue from exceeding all reasonable bounds. To those who speculate on the inevitable results of the introduction of steam on the Pacific, who have noticed the propositions already made in America for the estab lishment of a mail line to China, and who, aware of the teeming soil of Nicaragua and the salubrity of its chief districts, as well a s o the neighbouring states, con template the rush of colonizetion that must soon give value to all the lands that surround its magnificent in land waters, the prospect of the changes to he wrought by the undertaking will appear still further beyond the t grasp of any of the common conceptions of past ex perience. The two Governments of Great Britain and the United States have bound themselves to the enterprise by a treaty of protection. All the other Powers will accord to it the same advantage. ThA territory around it will constitute the first neutral ground, whence, by the pledged faith of all civilised nations, strife must be fur ever banished. It is the grandest physical work the world can witness. The past has seen nothing like it, and any similar fame must be equally denied to the future, since there will be no more hemispheres to join. Is it destined, it will be asked, that in a design which must thus stand alone and unapproachable in the records of material progress, England, as an active agent, is to have no part? From all that appears on the surfdce, the answer woull be in the affirmative; and looking at it as the penalty of a mania in which it was denounced as treasonable to question the spending of 300,000,0001. a year in analogous operations, the humiliation would be as deserved as it would be ineffaceable. Happily, how ever, it has been averted. Throughout their entire negotiations it has always been known that tl , e. New York Company have desired that the work should be one of co-peration between the two countries, and in this spirit, although surrounded by violent political influences that would have urged a different result, a promise was given to Sir Henry Bulwer that an equal participation in the enterprise should be offered to this country on reasonable terms. To fulfil that pledge two commissioners from the com pany, Messrs. White and Vanderbilt, arrived in London on the sth ult., and after a short period of negotiation a satisfactory arrangement was completed yesterday cf.ernoon. That sucb has been the ease, it must at the same time be stated, is owing to the straightforward and moderate requirements of the New York Company, and to the sagacity and patriotism of cur two lead ing mercantile firms, and also of the Governor of the Iludsons' Bay Company, Sir Henry Pelly. By the course which has been adopted these parties, conjointly with others, will possess the power of offering to the British public in due time one-half share of the enter prise, the exercise of which power will depend, we un derttand, upon its being demonstrated to the satisfaction of Government engineers that the estimates of outlay and income will be such as to warrant the most unquestion aVe reliance. The offer, therefore, will not be put forth until several months' further experience of what is passing on the coasts of the Pacific shall have enabled all persons to judge for themselves as to the eagerness or otherwise with which it should be accepted, and we are disposed to anticipate that enough will speedily tran spire to render it certain that the undertaking will then be pushed to completi( n by the accumulated force of a blended confidence and enthusiasm, such as will more than compensate for all our past delays. AN INFERNAL MACHINE.—The son of Mr. East, Morocco leather manufacturer, of 214 and 215, Bermondsey. street, Southwark, had a very narrow escape on Friday. It appears that while Mr. East and his son were in the count ing-house the foreman brought in an oval box made of wood addressed to Mr. Frederic East, with two shillings' worth of postage stamps on the lid of it. The foreman, in handing the box over shook it, and remarked that it sounded as if it was filled with sand. Mr. F. East took out his knife with the view of prizing up the lid, when his father advised him to be cautious in the operation • and this caution was ren dered the more necessary as, on the lid being partially raised, a small quantity of gunpowder fell out . on the desk. It was determined not to proceed any further in the examination until water was poured through the aperture into the box, so as to neutralise the effects of any combustible ingredients which it might contain. This was adopted immediately, and the lid was then removed without danger, when the inside of the box, which might well be termed an "infernal machine, fiwaaessetxpgoasnedpawtodvai.esww.ithltircroengtaalianredpiecneesaralyi aleapor and ad of ja th st e underneath the lid were a number of Inciter matches and sand. paper, placed in such a position that the least violence used in the forcing up the top of the box must lead to an the tr a i a n B, t e r a i o a r t , aanadi only the reexspullot would sionof b th e e in wh a o ll ie peroobn a t e b n o t t s y of disas the persons who opened it, tut al s o scatter destruction to all ar ound who happened to be within t h e s p here of its influence.
