Much misrepresentation has been industriously circu lated in the United States respecting the first of the above routes. The opponents of the line from Chagres to Panama have put forth a statement, and got it in serted in some of our contemporaries on this side of the ocean, that the climate of Panama was found to be so deadly to foreigners, especially those from a northern climate, that few, compared with the number that died, lived more than a few weeks when employed in the con struction of the railroad ; and parties interested in the rival route are striving their utmost to deter working men from going to Central America to complete the line in question. The importance of the short link which is to connect the neck of land lying between the Gulfs of Darien and Panama, will, we feel sure, be a sufficient apology for giving here the facts of the case before referred to, as detailed in a letter from the secretary of the Panama Railway Company, dated the Bth of August last. Mr. Spies, the secretary, writes :—" From the 3 1 st of July , 1850, to the sth of August, 1853, there have been sent to the Isthmus by this company, from various parts of the United States (with the exception of 127 sent from Jamaica), of all kinds, officers and men, as shown by the register kept in the office, 3,352 persons in all. .Our surgeons," he goes on to state, "are instructed to and have reported monthly to this office a detailed state ment of all persons dying on the Isthmus while in the employ of the company, and from the register kept in this office wherein those reports are copied, up to the Ist of July last (report for July not then received) the number of deaths has been only 214, by which you will perceive the per centage is only about 6 per cent. on the whole number sent out, which result would cab: pare favourably with any railroad built in any of the new parts of the United States, could the accounts be kept with the same accuracy." Now, as Mr. Spies challenges the public to inspect the register of deaths in the office of the Panama Railroad Company in New York, we must leave the wholesale denuciations of the Nicaraguaist to pass at their pro per credit ' • and as the Ni cara g ua route, so muc h pu ff e d off by the Times, is not all that heart can desire, it is only necessary to mention that recently no less than 148 transmit passengers by this latter route signed a protest against the inconveniences experienced by them, in which said memorial the following passage occurs : "On arriving at San Juan del Norte we found the river boats totally unfitted for conveyance of pas sengers. We had to enter the river and lift the boats over the bars and shallows. Provisions were excessively dear, and the United States currency passed at a depreciation of twenty per cent. We had to tramp in the woods along the river bank on several occa4ions, and being informed by the agents in New York that we would pass through to the Pacific in 18 hours, our provisions were used up soon, as we did not arrive there until six days had passed. Conse quently many of us suffered through privation of life's necessaries ere we got abroad the screw-steamer Lewis, making a period of eight days ere we were received upon that boat, because she was not in port on arrival." We have heard tales by travellers of the insalubrity also of the Nicaragua route, but these we shall 'omit.— Herald, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. QUARANTINE NOTICE.

THE EASTERN QUESTION, (From the Press.) Wars, as Mr. Cobden astutely observes, arise out of wars. By wars the great States of Europe, swallowing the smaller, grew to those proportions which were the object of mutual vigilance ; and, this vigilance to prevent the predominance of any one helping to promote the predominance of some other, wars have bred wars in direct descent, but in irregular succession. No sooner had Europe been fairly secured from an Austrian domination by the peace of Westpha lia, than the confinement thereby of Austria to closer limits left room for au alarming expansion of France, which was limited in turn by the peace of Utrecht. To England, which imposed this lat ter restraint, was assigned a pre-eminence, which for eighty years excited a general jealously. Losses which she had sustained made the peace of Paris in 1783 the platform of other rivalries, till the empire of Napoleon electrified Europe. The dissolution of this empire in 1815 was materially aided by a deadly thrust from the lance of the Cossack, and thenceforward the Cossack be came himself suspected ; and with reason. His vaguest hopes of universal empire, en couraged by the fall of Poland, were corroborated by the retreat from Moscow. From the bleeding valour of Eylau and Friedland to the last prophetic sigh of St. Helena, he has had a growing sanction for his grand audacity ; and the boldest breed of English statesmen have been warranted in their resolution to commit their country to fresh wars if it should become necessary to check his advance. For be it remembered this advance in further ance of a traditional scheme is a fact which can be measured out by dates. Established on the bor ders of the Black Sea in 1774 by the treaty of Kai nardji ; securing the Crimea in 1774 by the treaty of Constantinople : acquiring by the treaty of Bucharest in 1812 the banks of the Pruth and the province of Bessarabia ; and appropriating the delta of the Danube in 1829 by the treaty of Adria nople, the Cossack has crept on till he now threa tens the sovereign positions of the Sound and the Dardanelles. We have shown that to him these are the gates of empire, but they are also the gates of Europe, and indispensable to her security. Feebly garrisoned, they are thus beleaguered by an enemy who combats alike by force and corrup tion ; who combines barbarous vigour and Oriental fanaticism with science and discipline--Lthe Asiatic fury with the Greek fire—who marshals numbers we cannot estimate in approaches of which he retains the secret, and who can await the oppor tunity, for which he watches ' to strike home. It is a truism to say that we cannot afford to to doze or dawdle in the presence of this enemy. The resources of the Russian empire, with its growing population, are at the instant service of a definite policy in the hands of a ruler of eminent talents and of resolute will. His dominion, stretch ing from east to west, lowers over Europe like a thundercloud ; and should he, instigated by our presumptuous folly, surprise our gates in the hands of their defenders, his dominion could no longer be thrust back within limits, for it would be every where present, yet in no part 'accessible. Against this catastrophe—against the permitted presenti ment even of an issue which might render it pos : sible—all English statesmen of note, save one, have striven ; but this one has pursued an opposite course ; by tortuous methods has promoted a con genial scheme, and, rigid in his manner as he is supple in his intentions, has deliberately removed impediments from the path of the Czar. To Lord Aberdeen attaches the life-long stigma of a traitorous alacrity to second the designs of Russia, but to the Coalition Ministry the disgrace that in this last instance he has plotted, as it may yet appear, with fatal maladroitness. Almost every one has shared in the common pre sentiment that sooner or later the day would come when Europe arid Russia must close in conflict. It might not be till the next generation, or the next century ; but every one save the gentle philoso phers of Manchester has been persuaded that it was at some time or other inevitable. The date was in a measnre at our own discretion, and by guarding our opportunities of defence we could have inter cepted and retarded the occasion of attack. One mode of accelerating this gigantic contest was by evincing a craven anxiety for peace ; a second was by creating impressions of a rupture between our selves and our natural allies ' • a third was by so conducting an embryo dispute that the enemy was neither deterred from advancing, nor when he had partially advanced could recede with honour. The Coalition, according to the formula, had its choice of these courses, but, with a comprehensive fatuity, it has adopted all three. The first folly is confessed. "It is, indeed, to . be feared," says the reputed organ of one of the Ministers, " that an appearance of over anxiety for peace on the part of the Western Powers has been the means of working mischief by leading the Emperor to suppose that he might take advantage of this pacific disposition." Si multaneously we hear the echo of this admis sion at Moscow, where the Metropolitan con gratulates the Czar on " the timid fears that have," in consequence of his attitude, " spread through the states inhabited by " other peo ples." The second folly is that to which we have at other times alluded—the folly of Sir Charles Wood after, and Sir James Graham be fore, he had dined, in which folly Mr. Gladstone has just participated by cheapening our Turkish allies in exchange for the cheers of Manchester. The third and crowning folly—of permitted occu pation of the provinces, and of negotiations framed to elicit a compromising statement of her claims by Russia—is consummated, if, as we hear, Russia will not recede because she has been forced into a position from which she can no longer recede with out humiliation. Assuming that this intelligence will rule the issue, the war then which is at our gates, with its overwhelming responsibilities—its certain perils and inscrutable future—is a war into which we have helplessly blundered. We could not have said, "we will never wage it," but we could have avoided it at a date when almost all the states of Europe had just bowed to the blast of anarchy. United Europe might have sustained it fearlessly. But at this moment, if we have a single ally at our side, it is in spite of efforts from the Premier downwards by suspicion or sarcasm to provoke his hostility. If war must come, it is not only the lot of English men that we owe that war—subject to the predi lections of Lord Aberdeen—to the cross purposes and contracted action of a Coalition Cabinet, but that we must meet it with the interests on our side dissevered, with empires at variance, and nations distracted by class antipathies and bloody souve nirs. The apprehensions which paralyse the nerves of Ministers, and dictate their apologies, are their heaviest condemnation. Courage and clear pur pose could have saved all. But the tremors to which our rulers have yielded will not be so much justified as punished, if the gleam of hostile watch fires should prove a revolutionary beacon, and the foe without should be answered by internal con flagration. BEWARE OF THE SPRING OF 1854. TO THE EDITOR OF HE SUN. SlR,—The period has now arrived, to which I stated, in a letter two months ago, inerted in your columns, the negotiations wott d be prolonged. My statement was made with perfect assurance— an assurance justified by the result. I then said that negotiations would be prolonged till the latter end of October, when military operations would cease to be practicable. The negotiations have been so prolonged, and at this very point have been intercepted by the incident of a declaration of war which can have no practical effect. It must surely be evident to the least attentive mind that the parts were all distributed from the beginning. Let us reduce the matter to its simple expres sion. Five months of negotiation, commencing with the rejection of the demands of Russia by the Four powers, close with the enforcing of the de mands of Russia by the Four Powers. During their course, the provinces of Turkey have been invaded and occupied, and a people reduced to subjection who are Christians, not Turks, under the plea of claims in reference to the mode of wor ship, and the Holy Sepulchre. Now, Sir, besides the accomplished prognostica tion to which I have referred, I have ventured upon another at an earlier period, the fulfilment of which is yet to come. I have said, and re peated in 1851, in 1852, and again in 1853, " Oc cupation in the Autumn, revolution in the Spring." My meaning was this, that Russia would make a pretext for entering the Principalities, so as to establish herself before the winter, having had to make arrangements for revolutionisin g Turkey and Europe. The year was unce r tai n , but not the seasons. On the passage of the Pruth, , in July, 1353, I said, " Now let Europe beware of the spring of 1854." I do not hesitate to declare that I am myself conversant with the steps now actually taking for this revolution. I will go even the length of stat ing that I have been consulted in reference to it. This question has been put to me, " Shall we assume, in reference to Russia, an offensive or defensive attitude ?" I have answered in the words with which I replied to the Hungarians in. 1848—" Your revolution has too powerful a pro tector, and too judicious an adviser in the Czar, for you to apply elsewhere." And, seeing that in every Cabinet Russia has had her agent, I use the words of M. Kossuth, it is stretching no probabi lity to assert, that she has them in every con- spiracy. Let me, Sir, through your indulgence, therefore, THE - SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 1853. implore my countrymen to withdraw for a time their attention from Turkey and fix it nearer home, and to endeavour to escape from the embroilment of futile and blind negotiations in which they have been artfully involved, in order that they may apprehend coming events. There is yet time for safety, would they but reflect. They have seen, they have judged, they ought to know, by what has happened in Turkey, what their Ministers are, and, unless they seize this time to arrest them, Europe will speedily be plunged in barbarism. There is no danger if England withdraws her emissaries. There is no danger if Turkey refuse to listen to their counsels. There will be no war in Europe, no revolutions, and no partitions if you leave the Turks and the Russians alone. There Will be no war in Turkey if you suffer the. Porte to maintain her declaration of war. If Russia had purposed that war, of which she has made herself believed in Europe so capable and desirous, the event would have occurred, as on former occasions, before youwere apprised of herintentions. She has neither the purpose nor the power to make that war. She is at present risking everything from the necessities of her position, and in reliance on her command over the Cabinets of Europe, and especially on the composition of that of England. The occupation of the principalities is profitable to her, as exhausting their resources, and driving back the corn trade into her own territory. It is necessary to her for operating upon Austria and Turkey, when these empires have been internally convulsed. But that convulsion will depend upon her imposing upon Turkey a state of peace, and on that of Austria one of co-operation. In all other respects it is ruinous. In 1828 and 1829 she lost there, almost entirely from the climate, 150,000 men, and 50,000 horses. The right bank of the Danube is healthy, the Turks suffer from no miasma. She is further ex posed to a danger of the greatest magnitude, of desertion. This is no longer an anticipation of mine, it has already been proved by results ; we have learnt by the public news of repeated execu tions for unsuccessful attempts, but this has not sufficed to stop the evil, and she has had to with draw her cavalry, which was composed of Malo-Rus sians, from the neighbourhood of the Turks, and to replace them by the dull tribe of serfs who compose her infantry regiments. The Turks, by the state of war, recovering their freedom of action, her commu nications by sea are imperilled, and, unable by the local circumstances and defences, and the strength of the Turkish army to make any impression upon Bul geria, she would be confined to sitting in inaction in the Principalities. The Turks might quietly now disband their forces, re-assembling them for the spring. Diplomacy apart, as far as the Porte is concerned, this state of things might endure for years, without sacrifice or danger. Russia, if she persisted, would only see her forces, whatever their amount, melt away while the Turks sat and ob served them from their entrenched camps along the banks of the Danube. Meanwhile Georgia would be escaping from her hands, and an invasion threatening along the Terek and the Cuban. I conclude with pointing to another great and determining motive for raising a commotion in the East, and that is, to call public attention away from the diplomatic proceedings by which, again through the instrumentality of England, she has secured the succession of Denmark, and the virtual possession of the South. - Besides the points to which I have adverted, there is at stake the food of Europe, the dominion of India, and the commerce of the North, the South, and the East ; all to be saved by recalling your squadrons and ambassadors—all to be sacri ficed by " sympathy with Turkey" and toiling to preserve the " peace of Europe," that is to say, by continuing to suffer squadrons to navigate and ambassadors to write.—l remain, sir, your obedt. servant, D.

Henry Hamilton, a well dressed man, who described himself as a surgeon, but whose name is not discover able in the " Medical Directory," surrendered to take his trial for an assault upon Elizabeth Brown. This case it will be recollected was postponed from the last session. Upon that occasion an indictment for felony was preferred against the defendant upon the same facts, but it was ignored by the grand jury, who only returned a true bill for a common assault. The defendant, who is an advertisinc , doctor, under the title of Surgeon Hamilton, practised in King William-street, Strand, and the pi osecutrix, a young woman 22 years of age, went to consult him ; and, according to her evi dence, he told her she was in the family way, and then made some overtures to her of a most disgusting cha racter, and eventually proceeded to commit acts of gross indecency. The greater portion of the evidence was of a character to render it totaily unfit for publication. The prosecutrix and a young man who, she stated, was the father of her child, and whom it appeared she had married since the occurrence, were subjected to a very severe cross-examination, and they admitted they had both given false names and addresses, and that they had made other incorrect statements in reference to the transaction. Mr. Ballantine made an earnest address to the jury on behalf of the defendant, and said he was instructed by him to declare most emphatically that there was not the slightest ground for the charge, and that it had been trumped up by the prosecutrix and the man for the pur pose of extortion. The Recorder having summed up, the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty. Sentence was deferred. CHARGE OF PERJURY. __ Thomas Massey surrendered to take his trial for wilful and corrupt perjury. This was one of those cases where an indictment was preferred before the grand jury behind the back of the accused party, and without any previous inquiry being had before a magistrate. When the trial was called on, the person who appeared as prosecutor handed in an affi davit, and asked to have the trial postponed. Mr. Parry, on behalf of the defendant, successfully re sisted the application. . _ It appeared that the perjury was alleged to have been committed at the Guildhall Poli ce -co ur t, in the course of some proceedings taken under the Small Tenements Act by Mr. Massey to eject the prosecutor, and Mr. T. Wood, the chief clerk, was called to prove what took place, when, to the astonishment of the court, he stated that he did not believe the defendant was sworn, or that any thing said by him was upon oath. The Recorder asked Mr. Wood if he stated this fact when he was examined in support of the bill before the grand jury ?_ Mr. - Wood said he stated to them most distinctly his belief that the defendant was not sworn. Mr. Parry—And yet they actually returned a true bill for perjury. The Recorder said there was an end of the case. The charge had entirely failed on the proof. A verdict of not guilty was then given. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Serjeant.) CHARGE OF HORSE STEALING. James Allen Phipps, 23, groom, was indicted for stealing a pony, valued at 91., the property of William Watson. It appeared that in May last the prisoner was taken in custody.near Ilford, riding the pony in question, which had strayed from the premises of prosecutor, who lives in that di s t r i c t. Wh en ques ti one d, h e sa id he had given 71. for the pony. After his committal, it turned out that he had escaped from gaol, where he had been confined upon a similar charge, but it did not appear that he had attempted to feloniously appropriate the horses, and he was thought to be a lunatic. When arraigned in this court for ; the present offence, he was found to be in a state unfit to plead, and was therefore remanded back to Springfield gaol, and there treated as a lunatic, but having recovered, was sent for trial. The Common Sergeant told the jury that if they thought the prisoner only took the horse for the purpose of helping him on his journey, that would not be a felony. He was acquitted. BIGAMY. John Davey, 53, shoemaker, was indicted for bigamy with Sarah Gawthorne, his wife being then alive. It appeared that prisoner had been groom to a noble man, and in 1823 was married at Great Maldon, in Northamptonshire, deserted his wife during her first pregnancy, came to London, and in 1836 married the second wife, who was a widow. In cross-examination it was elicited that his first wife had since married, and had 11 children. The second wife said the prisoner had six children by her, and after much ill-treatment had left her for another woman. She knew him four years before their marriage. Prisoner—And did not I live with you two years before marriage. Second wife—That's of no signification. (Laughter.) He was found guilty, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.—Robert Skinner and Alexander Jeffrey, of the respective ages of 14 and 17, were charged with causing the death of Francis Horner, a cabman, in the following manner : Police-constable Price, 226, said he saw the deceased shortly after he was thrown from his cab, and, per ceiving he was in great pain, he put him into a cab and sent him off to the hospital, where he expired within an hour, and from information witness afterwards received he apprehended the lads at the bar on the present charge. Mr. Cuthbert, of St. Andrew's-rectory, said he was crossing from Ely-place, Holborn, to St. Andrew's place, about 10 minutes past ten o'clock on Saturday morning last, when he was stopped by the prisoners pushing a truck rapidly down the hill. After the truck had passed he saw it nearly strike an omnibus, and, in pulling out to avoid it, the truck ran into deceased's cab, which was also going down hill, and the horse took fright, started off at full speed, and ultimately came in contact with a van, when the horse fell and threw the deceased from his box. The elder lad was in the truck, and the younger was pushing it. Charles Sturt, a hairdresser of Fetter-lane, corrobo rated the last witness's statement, and said the boys had lost all control over the truck, and on its striking the cab the deceased's horse became perfectly unmanageable. Had the truck been drawn instead of pushed the lads would have found no difficulty in directing it. The officer said the coroner's inquest was to be held that evening. Sir R. W. Carden said it was a very melancholy af fair, and one which the boys must remember as long as they lived. The prisoners, however, were very respect able lads, and, as the occurrence was evidently an acci dent, he would take the same bail for them to appear on the next examination, which he intended to fix for Wed nesday, in order that he might have the decision of the coroner's jury. CLERKENWELL.—George Henry Freeman was charged by Elizabeth Ann Furneaux with bigamy. The particulars have already been published. The prisoner reserved his defence, and was fully com mitted for trial. James Flynn was charged with having brutally as saulted Jane Cannon, of 103, Whitecross-street, St. Luke's. The prisoner formerly cohabited with,the pro secutrix, who left him in consequence of his ill-usage. On Sunday night last he went to her lodgings, and for cing his way into her apartment while she was undressed, and preparing to go to bed, he made a desperate attack on her, dragged her down stairs, and beat her in a most brutal manner. She exhibited severe marks of violence, and was in a weakly state. Mr. Tyrwhitt sent him to the House of Correction, with hard labour, for three months. WORSHIP-STREET.—AmeIia Richardson, a young woman about 25, was charged with the following of fence : The prisoner, who had the appearance of a housemaid or other domestic servant, exhibited the greatest mental distress, incessantly weeping throughout the examina tion, and displayed such manifest debility and exhaus tion that the magistrate ordered her to be provided with a seat in the dock. Mr. Vale, surgeon, of Mile-end New-town, stated— Between 8 and 9 on the evening of the 29th ult. I was called in to attend the prisoner at a lodging in Great Chart-street, Hoxton, and upon entering I found her lying upon a bed on the floor. Having been previously 4 informed that an accident had occurred to her which fre quently happens to women in the family way, I ques tioned her upon it, and she declared that such was the , fact, and that the result of it would be found in the watercloset. Upon searching the watereloset what was discovered did not bear out her assertion, and I there fore subjected her to a personal examination, and found that she had been recently confined. I at once accused her of that, which she stoutly denied, but upon looking round the room I found such indubitable evidence of the correctness of my accusation that, on finding she could no longer deceive me, she pointed to a basket beneath a side-table, and on my looking into that I found the body of a newly-born infant, wrapped up in rags. The umbilical cord had been very unskilfully di vided, apparently with son les rough or blunt instrument; there was an unusual blueness about the lips ; the nose was slightly compressed, MN though a hand or other hard substance had been pressed upon its mouth to suppress its noise ; it had apparentl7 arrived at maturity, though rather diminutive ; and, upon subjecting its chest to a slight pressure, two circueistances resulted which left an unhesitating conviction on my mind that it must have been born alive. The prisoner's mother, who was in the room at the time, positively denied all know ledge of her daughter's condition ; but, of three other persons who Were also there, one of them distinctly averred that she had heard the child cry. An inquest 0 was held upon the body, and an open verdict returned. but I had no opportunity to make a post mortem exa mination, as the coroner would not allow it. Inspector Payne, N. Division.—l received information of this occurrence late at night on the 29th ult. and, having dispatch e d a serjeant, went th ere myself next morning, and there saw the prisoner's mother. She said that her husband was in the country, and that her daughter, who had been pieviously in St. Bartholomew's Hospital for a bad breast, -and from which she had been turned out by the doctors as incurable, and only re turned home the night before her confinement, and that she (the mother) knew nothing whatever about it until it had taken place. Sarah Aldridge, an elderly nurse, also deposed to hav ing been sent for to attend upon the prisoner, when she not only denied the principal offence alleged against her, but even that the 'accident before referred to had hap pened to her. This she did in a sharp, angry tone, accompanied by other circumstantial details to confirm her denial ; but the indications she observed were of so conclusive a nature, that she felt it her duty to send for the first witness (the surgeon), and upon the child's body being discovered she could say, from her experience as a practical nurse, that the infant had arrived at full ma turity. Upon being asked if she wished to say anything in defence, the prisoner convulsively replied in the nega tive, and Mr. D'Eyncourt ordered her to be committed for the completion of the depositions, previous to her trial at the Central Criminal Court. LAMBETH.—PhiIip Grinney, a coach wheelwright, residing at No. 35, Park-street, Kennington, aged 40 years, was charged with cutting the throat of his wife, Hannah Grinney, with intent to murder her. The first witness called was Eliza Grinney, a re spectable-looking young woman about 18 years of age, who, upon being sworn, said—l am the daughter of the prisoner, and live with him at No. 35, Little Park street, Kennington-cross. This morning, at half-past 6 o'clock, I heard my father downstairs in the backroom, and directly afterwards I heard my mother scream vio lently. I ran downstairs, and found that my father had got my mother down upon the floor. He was kneeling upon her, and was cutting her throat on the left side with a knife. My mother plunged violently and got away from him inside the back parlour, where there is a little passage. My father followed her and got her on the ground a second time, and I again saw him cutting at her throat. My mother plunged and got away as far as the street-door, but, the door being fastened, she could not get further. Here again my father followed her, and, with the knife in his right hand, cut at her throat while she was standing up against the door. From there my mother ran into the parlour, and tried to get out at the window, but before she could get there my father flung her on the bed. He got her partly off the bed, with her head under a chair which stood near a cupboard, and, with his knee upon her chest, lifted up the knife, and jobbed it into my mother's throat. Mr. Elliott—And what did you do all this time. Witness—l kept screaming as loud as I could, and, having no clothes on, I knew not what to do. I, how ever, threw up the parlour window and ran to the street door, screaming " Murder !" all the time. Two men then came in, and one of them was going into the par lour, but my father took two kniv es an d sa id h e would run them into him if he attempted it. After that more men came in, and when my father was in the act of jobbing the knife into my mother's throat again they seized hold of him. John Low, of 24, New-street, Princess-street, said— This morning, about half-past 6 o'clock, I was going home, when I heard the cries of " Murder !" and, on looking to the house whence the cries proceeded, I ob served the parlour window up. On approaching the window I saw the prisoner astride over the body of his wife. The wife was partly on the bed, which was on the floor, and the prisoner was leaning over her, and in the act of cutting her throat, and the blood was flowing copiously from her. Directly afterwards one or two other men rushed into the room, and seized the prisoner and the knife, and his wife made her escape from him. I tied my handkerchief round the wife's throat, with the view of stopping the bleeding, and 'she was removed in a light cart to Guy's Hospital. James Smith, of 77, Park-street, a cab-driver, said that about the time before mentioned he heard a vio lent screaming, and, having been told that a murder was being committed at the house of the prisoner, he went there without delay. He saw the prisoner in the act of stabbing his wife in the throat. Mr. Elliott.—Describe how you saw the prisoner act. Witness—Why, sir, he was sticking his wife as a butcher would a sheep. Mr. Elliott—You distinctly saw the knife in his hand when prisoner was stabbing at the throat of his wife ? Witness—Oh, yes, sir, quite plain, and, in fact, I took' the knife out of his right hand and flung it on the bed, and then seized the prisoner with both hands. Police-constable Thomas Massar, 39 L, said that on that morning, between 6 and 7 o'clock, he was alarmed by one of his lodgers, who informed him that a murder had been committed at the house of the prisoner. He, in consequence, hastened thither, and, on approaching the house, be found the prisoner standing outside the gate in his shirt sleeves. The prisoner, on seeing him, said, "Oh ! it's you, is it ? I know you, and I'll go anywhere with you." Witness took him to the station, and then went to Guy's Hospital, where he found the wife in a very shocking state, and got a certificate of her condition. Mr. Elliott—On your way to, or at the station-house, did the prisoner say anything to you ? WitnesS—Yes, your worship ; as we were going along he said he hoped his wife would die, when he should be han g ed for her, and sho u ld th en b e h appy. O n search ing the house I found a bottle of laudanum, and the three knives produced. The knives were here exhibited, and were, as de scribed by the witness, deeply stained with blood, as were also the wristbands and sleeves of the prisoner's shirt. A certificate, of which the following is a copy, was also put in and read : " I hereby certify that Hannah Grinney was this morning admitted into Guy's Hospital, suffering from a severe incised wound of the throat ; the trachea, as also the large and important vessels, being uninjured. On each hand were several incised wounds, those on the right being the most severe. "J. P. MORRIS, House•surgeon. "Oct. 24." Serjeant John T. Hughes, 20 L, deposed that he was on duty at the station-house on the morning when the prisoner was brought there in custody. When the two knives were produced the prisoner said, "I only used one of them ; if she's dead I shall feel happy to be hanged for her ; when I had killed her I intended to cut my own throat." He said the cause was, that his wife had had two men in the house with her on the night be fore, that she had got up to go away with them on that morning and leave him and her children, and that she had told him she should not see him any more. Inspector Carter, who has the management of the case, here informed the magistrate that this was all the evidence he was prepared with at present, Upon which Mr. Elliott, after cautioning the prisoner in the usual manner, asked him if he wished to say any thing to the serions charge against him, for, if so, that was his time. The prisoner, who seemed to be labouring under great mental affliction, replied,—Yes, Sir, I wish to say some thing. There's a man in the court now, Henry Lee, who came home with our lodger at half-past three o'clock and knocked us up. I and my wife took a bed down for them, and they went to bed in the parlour. Some time afterwards my wife said to me, "I sha'nt stop with you any longer, I shall go down and sleep with th o s e two men . They had been together on the Sunday be fore, and I know they all dined together. My wife denied my coming there, and said if I offered to follow her she would run a knife, which she had taken up, through me. She had one knife and I the other, and this was the way the second knife got stained with blood. My wife said she was going into the country ; that her brother was going to take her; that Henry Lee was going with her, and that she never again would come back to me or her children ; and that I had my own hands and strength to support them." I said, "You must tell me whom you are going with, and where you are going, too ;" and her answer was, " I sha'nt ; you shall never find me any more ;" that she should go with those she liked better than me, and that was Henry Lee. She was then going away. The two knives were on the table, and she took up one and threatened to stick me, and I picked up the other and drew it across her throat as she was about to put her brooch into her shawl. She had the other knife in her hand, and that's the way it became bloody in the struggle. She ran on to the front street door, and I after her. The door was bolted and she could not get out. She ran into the front room, when I threw her on the bed, and partly on the floor. They then opened the window and screamed, and some persons came in and took the knife away from me. She was upstairs in bed with me and. very comfortable until the two men came in and knocked us up, and she afterwards said she should go downstairs to where those men were. That's all I have to say. The prisoner was then remanded to a future day, and by a certificate, dated 5 o'clock yesterday evening, it appears the unfortunate woman is going on very favourable.
