"Afterwards," said the witness, "Connor came with me to my lodging, and when we got into the room I saw the prisoner come from his bed and maka.a run at Connor. Connor said he was stuck, and the prisoner asked who it was, and I said it was Ragan. I did not say it was Connor. The prisoner said he would have his revenge on more of them. Ido not think he knew whom he stuck." [I"RicE SD. Cross-examined by the prisoner —I did not see the man strike you first. Patrick Ragan said we had been all drinking beer to gether. The prisoner and I had nad words, and he said he would be satisfied to be hung for me and for Connor, and he would have our lives, and then he left the pub lic-house. He lodges in the same room with me. I went with Connor to Somerset-street, where he lodges, but he could not get in, and he came back with me. I was afraid of my life to go upstairs, and Connor went up before me. I stood at the door, and I heard Connor call out and say he was stuck and dying, and I saw he was bleeding. I put my cap over his side to stop the blood. The prisoner was then lying on his bed and try ing to hide the scissors, and I took them and gave them to the policeman, and conveyed the prosecutor to the hospital. The prisoner said he had been attacked in the public house by several persons, of whom the prosecutor was one, and he had, in whatever he had done, merely acted in self-defence. He was committed for trial. "4 \ V A LBERT SMITH'S MONT BLANC 1, ; , at 8 o'clock, except Saturday. Stalls, 35., iah catelvebrey e s v ec e u n r in ed 4' at the Box•office every day trona 11 to 4.

M. C. Dupin's humane aspirations that the mis fortunes he predicts may not befall us, stand in somewhat grotesque contrast to his earnest prayer that France will prepare with energy to take ad vantage of them. If we cannot thank him for his anxiety that we should escape intestine discord, at least we may be grateful for his intimation as to its possible consequences. If some difference of opinion exists as to opera tions upon the coasts of En g l an d, th e u t mos t unnaimity prevails as to those that should be adopted in other quarters. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. PART IV. THE COMPOSITION OF THE FLEE' (Continued from The Sun of July 17.) The commission, before it decided on the and amount of the fleet France should bu maintain, was obviously b oun d to consic course of to be adopted in the event ( due regard being also had to the naval force ( maritime powers. The deliberations on tl ject, therefore, could not fail to give occs frequent reference to England, and some of their tenor is desirable, not only becau are in this respect highly interesting and tive, but in order to show the objects w commission had in view in its recommends lative to the reconstruction of the fleet. ten propositions of vario us mem b ers , th verbaux of the numerous di scuss i ons on th jects, and the evidence of the principal wig afford ample materials for the purpose. )1 The defence of the French coasts was nati t raty a prominent consideration, and as M. Daru's,selabo rate proposition enters very much at large into this question, and also expresses general opinions which appear to be in accordance with those of the great majority of his colleagues, we shall make no apology for the length of our extracts from this in teresting paper. M. Daru commences by comparing the indention of the screw to that of the bayonet, which, )o, says, " by placing two deadly weapons in one hatcl was formerly a great cause of success to the people that first adopted it," and he urges the necessity of im mediately securing .to France this means of mari time superiority. The vast steam-fleet (with paddle-wheels) so re cently constructed at an enormous cost, he says, " have been called frigates, corvettes, &c., for the purpose of self-deception, and are, in truth, only transports." The fleet, M. Daru thinks, should consist of two - ela,sselT the first, intendea to _fi g ht , 2 , ol i ire . F L o f frigates and ships of the line ; the second, the ves sels intended to carry troops and watch the .enemy. NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.—LANCABTER, Aura. 9. (Crown Court.--Before Mr. Justice Wightman.) iature d and it the war, other sub ion to mount e:they Jane Jackson, aged 19, was charged with having, at Finsthwaite, wilfully murdered her infant male child. Mr. Blair appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Overend defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner had been in the service of Mrs. Burns, of Back Barrow, since Whitsuntide, 1852, and remained till Feb. 1853. For some time previous to that her mistress had accused her of being in the family way many times, which she always denied most positively, but said that she had previously been ill but had got better. On the evening of Feb. 12 Mrs Burn's suspicions were most strongly excited, and on stating them the prisoner, she said that she had better go home. This she did not do, and the next morning found her very unwell in the kitchen, leaning against the boiler. She then ordered the prisoner to go to bed, and re peated her suspicions as to het condition, which the prisoner still denied. Mrs. Burns then sent for a Mrs. Newby, who sometimes acted as a midwife ; and on her arrival she asked the prisoner, who was in bed, how she was. She replied that she was poorly. Mrs. Newby then said, "You have hone as many foolish girls have done before." This the prisoner denied, and witness re plied, "You can't deceive me." Mrs. Newby then examined her, and found th a t s h e h a d been delivered ; and then a policeman was sent for, who searched the house, and in the privy under the soil he found the body of a full-grown male child. The officer then went to the prisoner, who said th a t t h e ch ild h a d b e en born the night before in her flannel petticoat on the chamber floor, and that she did not know whether it was alive or not, as she did not feel it then, and there was no light, and she could not see. Her room was then searched, and in it were found two little shirt bodies and a cap. Mr. H. Settle, a surgeon at Newenton, examined the body with Mr. Gibson. At first they did not perceive any marks of violence. It weighed 61b., and measured 20 inches. The umbilical cord had been torn, the lungs were very buoyant, the pulmonary ves sels were full of blood, and circulation had been per fectly established. On removing the scalp there was a contusion on the head and extravasation of blood, and the external vessels of the brain were congested. The contusion had been caused by a blow. On cross-examination, the surgeon stated that the concussion would have stopped the action of the heart, which would have created less effusion of blood. The contusion on the head might have been produced by the child falling on the floor at its birth. The external congestion might have arisen from protracted labour. Mr. Overend addressed the jury for the prisoner, and at the outset confessed that, so far as regarded the con cealment of the birth of the child, the prisoner must be found guilty, but contended that there was no evidence whatever upon which they could find her guilty of wil ful murder of her child. None of the evidence proved that the child was alive when it was put into the privy ; the little clothes had been found, showing that she had a mother's feelings. It was clear that the child might have died in the act of parturition by falling on the floor. OPAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. PATRON—H.R.H. PRINCE ALBERT, L E c T uans.—By J.

GUILDHALL.—M. Jean Auguste Labat, described in the police-sheet as a merchant, carrying on business at 94, London-wall, and representing himself as being in partnership with Guillaume Charles Theophile San/0, was charged, with that person, with uttering a forged request for goods to the value of 1001., consisting of six boxes of French truffles. Both prisoners were also *barged with conspiring to defraud M. Pierre Davier, jun., of Carpentras, in the south of France, of the said truffles. M. Collas, the secretary to the Commission, and the ablest and most energetic of its members, re peatedly urges that the French force abroad should be so constituted at all times that at the first out break of war " the enemy's commerce" may be de stroyed in all parts of the globe. At the first sitting on the question of the composition of the fleet, M. Collas observed, " We have a certain basis for our calculations. The adversary is known. There can be no question but of England." So the " enemy's commerce" means that of England. " He does not dispute," he says, " that in time of war the frigates which shall have destroyed the enemy's commerce and ravaged his possessions may in their turn be compromised ; but, at least, they will have fulfilled their mission of devastation, and struck the - enemy to the heart."

Mr. Parry, instructed by Mr. Lewis, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Solomons for the defence. The depositions taken on the three former occasions were all ready, and Mr. Parry then applied for the com mittal of the prisoners on the charge of forgery, and stated that it was his intention to indict them on the charge of conspiracy also. Mr. Solomons objected that the charge of forgery was not made out, as the name made use of was not that of a fictitious firm. ALLSOPP'S PALE ALE.

Daru says, a " guerre de tirailleurs" should be carried on against the English colonies and com merce, .A.clrairitl - tr . vile, a iiiemhAr Of the Commission, says,— BO W-STREET.—The driver of cab 2,118 was sum moned for exacting ls. more than his fare from a lady, and also for neglecting to deliver his badge-ticket, as re quired by the new act. The defendant pleaded " Guilty " to both charges. The complaint was preferred by Mr. Jardine, the magistrate, on behalf of a young lady (his niece), who arrived in London unexpectedly, from Edinburgh, on Sunday morning last, and was driven by the defendant from Euston-square station to Mr. Jardine's residence in Cumberland -terrace. It was doubtful if the distance exceeded a mile but the lady paid him ls., upon which he told her that he was entitled to 25., and he then re ceived that amount. Mr. Jardine stated, that he was induced to take up the case because it was an obvious attempt on the part of the cabman to get double his fare, merely because he saw that the lady was a l one, and had arrived at his house unexpectedly, when no one but a female servant hap pened to be at home. The defendant admitted that the fare was only Is., but said he had been standing a long time at the station, besides which the lady had two heavy boxes, for which he considered himself entitled to make a charge. Cab men on duty at railway stations generally expected rather better pay than other men, and he only asked the lady for the extra ls; he did'nt demand it. As for the ticket of his number, it being a new regulation, he had forgotten all about it. Mr. Hall said the cabman's excuses were perfectly nonsensical. First, he talked about having been kept a long time at the station ; but he might just as well think of charging for being kept on his stand. Then he suggcs;:c% that cabmen on duty at railway stations usually expected higher fares ; but the privilege of plying them was greatly valued, and it was a reason for reducing rather than increasing their charges. Finally, he talked about the lady's luggage, well knowing that he had no right to make any charge for it whatever. With respect to the ticket, he (Mr. Hall) was satisfied that every cabman in Lon don knew perfectly well that he was bound to supply it without being asked. Mr. Jardine said, he had no wish to press the complaint in regard to the ticket, although the man's neglect in that respect had given him a good deal of trouble, as he had been compelled to ascertain the defendant's number at the station. He was also desired by the lady to say that the man was civil. " The frigates we shall send to India may be compro mised, but that is no reason for renouncing the idea of harassing the enemy's commerce, and of supporting the populations which may at a given moment revolt against England." " The latter," he says, "may besides do the work of privateers ; they may burn unguarded places, seize mer chant vessels, land troops , effect surprises, sirmish like the advanced guard of an army ; but, also, like an ad vanced guard, they can only be of service when supported by a solid and substantial force." • When the naval organisation of France is consi dered, England, he says, — "Is the whole question, and there is no other. We must ask ourselves—lf we have war with England, what shall we do ? Now, here is my answer. We shall have a double duty to perform. First, to defend our own coasts from all attacks and surprises. Secondly, to place ourselves in readiness to strike the enemy to the heart by effecting a descent on his coasts." The opinions of the Commission on the Defence of the French Coasts which sat in 1841 are thus referred to by M. Daru, and are especially deserv ing of our attention : "The commission of 1841, after advising that the naval ports, the places of commerce, the centres of wealth, should be sufficiently fortified to secure them from a map de main, declares that the principal instru ment of coast defence is the steamboat ; that it should at once fulfil the duty of action and observation ; that thus swift vessels should unceasingly traverse the coasts, correspond with the signal stations, warn them, or re ceive warning from them of what was going or. at a dis tance. Moving with great swiftness, they will carry intelligence, they will seek the forces prepared at the nearest ports—at Dunkirk, at Havre, at Cherbourg, at St. Malo, at Brest, at L'Orient, at St. Nazaire, &c., which would contain squadrons of reserve, acting sepa rately or united, and connected together by these swift vessels, which, keeping close under the land, would find refuge everywhere, especially under the fire and protec tion of a few batteries conveniently placed. Such is the system of defence recommended by the commission as most efficacious, because movable, and not fixed to one spot. It is inexpensive, for merchant vessels may be appropriated to this service if built on a model capable of carrying a few guns, which might be easily effected by means of a premium. It is efficacious, finally, because it is supported by a real force, a force prepared for ag gression, which, menacing the enemy, inspiring him with the perpetual fear of a diversion, will keep many vessels in the waters of the Thames, or of the Irish Channel ; an entire fleet will be thus paralysed, and will not ven ture to stir." Department of the Comptroller for Victuallin4 and Transport Services, Somerset-place, 21st July, 1853. - - - THE Commissioners for Executing the Office of Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, do Hereby Give Notice, that on TiftntsraT, the 15th Septembernext, at One o'clock, they will be ready to treat with such persons as may be willing to Contract for supplying and delivering Into her Majesty's Victualling Stores at the underinentioped Ports, the followlng quantities of SALT MEAT, Admiral Hernoux, also a member, observes— " Frigates have but one duty to perform, that of cut ting up the enemy's commerce in every part of the globe, especially in the Indian seas." M. Normand, a witness, says— " In the Channel swift vessels are required, with a screw and a light draught of water, able to enter and run ashore in all the ports and creeks of the coast. They should be real birds of prey, able to seize the enemy's ships when it suited them, and able to escape when ne cessary to avoid them." Admiral Dupetit Thouars, in his evidence, says— " The best mod e f or F rance to ma k e war upon E ng l an d is to destroy her commerce, which constitutes her wealth. * * * * *t, of the cure of any country, and all of the care of the en suing season, viz. : Navy Beef.

Their Lordships reserving to themselves the power, when the tenders are opened, of contracting either for the whole, or for such part thereof only, as they may deem fit, or for a greater quan tity, or of riot contracting for any ; and also an unlimited power of selection, according to quality. A separate Tender must be given for Beef and a separate Tender for Pork, and every render must specify where the meat is intended to be cured. Persons tendering for more titan one Port must give a separate Tender for etch Port, and every Tender must contain a separate price for tierces and a separate price for bariels.

The conditions of the revised contracts. to which particular atten tion is called, may be seen at this offihe, or by applying to the Agent Victualler at Haulbowline, or to the Collectors of her Majesty's Customs at Bristol, Limerick, Belfrst, Waterford, and Newry, or to the Secretary of the Postmaster-General. at Dablin, or to the Com mander conducting the Packet Service at Liverpool ; or to the Resi dent Agent for Transports at Leith. No tender will be admitted for a less quantity than 100 Tierces or Admiral de la Susse gives similar opinions in his examination : Rich,ard Pedder, aged 50, was indicted for having, at Hambleton, on the 20th of April last, wilfully mur dered Betty Pedder. Mr. Aston prosecuted, and Mr. Blair defended the prisoner. _ " We should attack commerce, pursue, and destroy it in every sea. This must be the object of the divisions of frigates despatched from the ports of the ocean." M. C. Dupin obserues— " The small value of the French possessions abroad will be an advantage to France the day war is declared. She can lose little, while England—vulnerable in every part of the globe—would be obliged to disperse her forces, which would be a cause of weakness." The insignificance of the colonies and commer cial marine of France is frequently referred to in similar terms. Her navigation au long tours is decreasing, and she only possesses 72 ships of 400 tons and upwards. Her fisheries are maintained solely by bounties, and in case of war all her sea men would be taken for the fleet, so that her foreign commerce, already carried on principally under foreign flags, would then be entirely in the hands of neutrals. This subject has been also closely considered by the Commission. M. Fournier having expressed an opinion that the changes in our navigation laws would involve the reversal of the ancient practice under the law of nations affecting neutrals, M. de Montebello replies— ----Ll--=:------- .

There was some unusual interest connected with what took place a few days ago, when a deputation of twelve constables of the City police force attended by appoint ment at the chief office, with memorials from the several divisions, signed by upwards of four hundred men, addressed to the Commissioner, Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., respectfully requesting his assistance and recom mendation to obtain for them an advance in their present rate of wages. The commissioner read all the memorials, which, though varying in form of expression, were to the same effect—that, owing to the present high prices of provisions, and the great increase of rents arising from the demolition of the smaller houses in car rying out the extensive improvements in the city, rooms could only be obtained in courts and alleys, badly ven tilated and drained, at weekly payments of from ss. to 6s. 6d. It Was further stated that the pay now received was much less than the wages of men who obtained places with little reference to character, and whose term , of service was limited to six days, while no man could obtain admission into the City police, who did not bring I satisfactory testimonials of character and intelligence, and who did not subscribe to the obligation of being re sident within the City, giving his actual service, nine hours each of the seven days in the week, and being amenable at all times, on or off duty, to the orders and at the service of the commissioner. When the Commissioner had read the several memo rials, he inquired whether the deputation desired to say anything in addition to their written statements, and invited them to express themselves without the appre hension of inqurring his displeasure, as he readily re cognised their right to meet and discuss all matters in which they considered their rights concerned, having the utmost confidence in their discretion and their respect for himself and the service. Thus circumstanced (police-constable 155) Andrews, of the 2nd class, stated that since he had joined the force he had married, and now had a wife and five children, and he detailed the various items of weekly expenditure, amounting to 18s. 6d., exclusive of meat and clothing. The other constables remarked that they had nothing to add to the statements in their memorial. The Commissioner then said that, before he touched the immediate subject of this application, he desired to notice the remarks which had been made at some of the meetings, as to the preference given to military men, and the restricted leave of absence during the present season. So far from military men finding favour with him, he sometime feared he yielded to an adverse prejudice, for he'was far from considering mere military discipline and stolid obedience to orders, neither looking to the right nor to the left, two good marks, and twopence extra a-day, as the best qualifications for a constable. Soldiers were ex pected to act ; constables were expected to think as well as to act. Soldiers were expected to be sober when on duty ; constables were expected to be sober at all times. As to the leave of absence which for some years past he had cheerfully conceded to every man in the force, it was true that the same had been restricted in the present season, owing to the diminished numbers of the force occasioned by the unprecedented number of resignations ; and in making his selection of the men, to whom this favour should be granted, he considered good conduct had the first claim ; and, now that the first class was exhausted, it was his intention to extend the leave of absence to the next class. And in reference to the number of resigna tions, he was led to regret that the memorialists had not based their claims to an advance of pay upon that great fact. He was not surprised that police constables should be unacquainted with the principles of political economy, for many men in higher stations were not better informed upon the subject. If large rents and dear provisions were recognised as the standard of wages ; if the wives and children of constables were to be ele ments in the calculation, the men who had neither, and lived at the sta tions, p a y in g onl y is. ad. for then:lodg ing, and other advantages, must expect to have their pay materially reduced—a measure both unsound and unjust, and he should be continually adjusting the scale of wages to the ever-varying prices of provisions. The claims of the City constables to increased pay rested upon more solid grounds. Their services were arduous and peculiar, such as devolved upon no other class of police. Their height being necessarily greater, the difficulty of obtaining such was in proportion, and as men of certain essential qualifications became scarce, their value was enhanced. Circumstances could be suggested in which provisions might be a drug, and lodgings capacious and cheap, and yet the present pay for police service much under its value. The rate of pay to the members of the force did not rest with him. It was determined by the Lord Mayor, Alder men, and Common Council, in common council as sembled, to which, body he should submit their memo refi r i oen a ri I pvc s ree , ed as a ns and idonna d by whom inclinedjnjust certaintheywouldg to an t h d e the desirableness o p n ay sde b ra e t i e ng s satisfiedpoi f r t reducing thatis o t w h the n e duties of the service would be better discharged by men who felt themselves permanently identified with the force. At the close of the interview the Commissioner in quired whether, in the event of the claims of the memo rialists not being entertained by the Corporation, it was their intention to resign ? The deputation expressed their unanimous conviction that the constables of the City police would never act a part disrespectful to the Commissioner, or to the prejudice of the inhabitants I confided to their care. M. Daru says, that ten days after the order to embark was telegraphed from Paris, the army sent to Rome in 1848, was landed at Civita Vecchia and took the field, with horses, fiEC. artillery, and battering train, completely supplied also with stores and ammunition, and with 20 days' provisions. From these data M. Daru goes on to tabulate the vessels required to land 30,000 men and 3,600 horses in Ireland or 45ii the English coast, adding "If the east coast of England is to be threatened, the principal part of this force should be concentrated at Dunkirk ; if the south coast or Ireland, at Cherbourg and Brest." " Cherbourg," he says, " must ,f necessity be the head-quarters of the steam-vessels intended to act on the opposite shores of the Channel," and he en forces the dictum of Napoleon, "Cherbourg i 3 an eye to see the other side of the Straits, and au arm to strike." M. Darn anticipates the obvious objection that his force may be blockaded or intercepted by an English squadron, and he disposes of it thus sum marily : "It will be necessary to give battle, and to destroy it, in order to effect a landing. Th ere is, no doubt on this point. What forces shall object ?" we organise to effect this England will, he says, be weakened by the ne cessity of defending her numerous possessions and interests in remote quarters, and he concludes that a substantial force of 20 ships of the line and 10 frigates, all with screw popellers, of 25 frigates and 25 steam transports, with a certain number of avisos and corvettes assembled at her northern ports, will be sufficient. The question of defence appears never to be considered alone. M. de Montaignac, an officer just returned from a tour of inspection in England, expresses the general view of the subject when he says, in his examination,— " I do not separate the question of defence from that of attack. All organisation of materiel and personnel useful for defence will be still more so for attack." Opinions are sometimes expressed as to the in sufficient defences of the French coasts ; but Ad l i - miral de, la Susse says in his evidence " The commission will observe that I trouble myself little about the attacks England could direct against our shores." Admiral Dupetit Thouars, who was a member of the Commission on Coast Defence of 1841, appears to be of the same opinion, when after referring to the Prince de Joiuville's pamphlet, and the mea sures of defence we had adopted, he observes : " All invasions of England have been crowned with success ; she is not prepared for a territorial war. The English are not animated by a warlike spirit ; at this moment they have nothing organised ; and, if we have war, we have only one thing to do,—thAt would be to land an army on their coasts." M. Charner, just appointed second in command of the squadron of evolution at Cherbourg, and one of the members of the commission obtierves-- " Our position is singularly improved"' (by the inven tion of steam), " since an invasion of England on our part would be in a very different degSe formidable to anything England could attempt against us." Of course, M. Charner refers to the enormous army of France as compared with our military force ; and when we shall be insane enough to leave it in the power of France to obtain command of the Channel, then that army may at any moment be brought against us, and we shall fare badly if we are not prepared to defend ourselves on our own 1 soil. It is not, however, to be forgotten that since these and similar opinions were expressed, certain defen sive measures have been adopted, which, beyond the mere additional force, have had the far more important effect of proving that the people of Eng land, though deeply attached to peace, are fully re solved to defend themselves ; and probably M. Daru himself may now doubt whether the results he so complacently anticipated would be quite so easily accomplished. M. C. Dupin's proposition looks rather to the future than the present for effecting similar objects. He says : " We have now 55,000 seamen, rotst and ready for service ; a yearly increase of two p r cent. would, in five years, give 60,000 efficient seamen, and, please God, in five years we may arrive at the complete development of our materiel, which is acknowledged possible, and which is necessary to suffice for these Sesoures in seamen. " Many different systems have ben suggested for enabling us from this time to struggle with the greatest naval power—a power grown greater by our misfortunes, and preponderating especially in proportion to the in testine discords and revolutions which for 60 year.; have weakened our country. England, in her turn, as little circumspect in 1850 as we were 1788, and still mre confident, flatters herself that noin intestine cause of weaok ness can reach her. " For the love of humanity I wish I could share this confidence, this security. But I ani convinced of the contrary, and few yea rs, I fear, wilt suffice to prove it. Then it is that equilibrium between ;the naval forces of France and of her eternal rival will be resaitored n faithful to us. " The counsel I gi ve my country ".s to rem to the system of peace until then ; to organise without And when the question is put to the Commission whether or not the existing law of nations as re gards the right to seize an enemy's merchant ships shall be maintained, it is at once carried in the affirmative, M:Dufaure, the President, observing that its maintenance is necessary—. " Because, if English merchant vessels were declared safe from attacks, England, relieved from that which is most vulnerable in her position—free from all anxiety on the subject of the protection of her commerce—would recover a freedom of action with respect to France that would be highly prejudicial to us." -- In the Mediterranean the greatest advantage is attributed to the possession of Algiers as a means of predominance, and of sweeping away our com merce in that sea, while the fact that the French force will be close to its supplies of coal from the mines in the south is strongly insisted on. Admiral Baudin, in his evidence, says "The Mediterranean is the theatre on which great interests will be at stake. The Eastern question is always ready to divide the nations of Europe, and France must always be in a condition, at least in the Mediterranean, to earry troops with great rapidity to the coasts of Spain, to the coast of Italy, to the Adri atic, or to the Levant, if her intersts should demand it." M. de Montebello, Minister of Marine under Louis Philippe, observes in one of the proces ver baux f , When the internal troubles of nations shall subside, the Mediterranean will again become the theatre of great events. A continental power of the first order, and a naval power of the second rank, France might, on certain points, oppose this double element of her strength to England, which is only a naval power. We should, therefore, apply ourselves to the development of our steam fleet." We recommend the preceding opinions to tha . _ great commercial authority, Mr. Cobden, who has told us that if we expect invasion, the fleet should be immediately recalled from the Mediterranean. It would be satisfactory to learn how we should de fend our colonies, and our merc h an t shipping— how we should maintain our commun i cat i ons w i t h India, or obtain our supplies from the Black Sea, on which the cheapness of bread depends—if war break out, and this advice were followed. Our last quotation shall be from the evidence of Admiral de Verninac, who was Minister of Marine under the Republic in 1848 : "Some distinguished statesmen, struck by the insig nificance of the colonies that remain to us, have re garded our navy as being heneeforward for France an affair of `luxe,' and of misplaced pride. But these men have not reflected on the revolution steam navi gation must make, or rather they have not foreseen it. That revolution is immense ; it throws a bridge across the waters, and unites together islands and continents. On examining the extent of our mari time frontier, which is double that of our land fron tier, it must be considered indispensable, however ex pensive, to maintain a great naval establishment, and to carry it to the extent required for the security of our coasts. " The application of steam to navigation creates such an intimate relation between the arms of sea and land that if there were no other reasons for the maintenance of a formidable navy than the facility, and the prompti tude it will henceforth provide for our military opera tions in defensive, but especially in offensive wars, we tve- cannot hesitate at once to prep are the means, and com " m St e e n a d m t h b e r m i n g b s y b d a i c s k c discussion ion the to co apubliccoasts th opinion. conflictswhich, for their own safety, sailing ships engaged in far from the shore. It menaces every territory with an invasion, the more dangerous as it is the least expected,—it re stores, in short, the wars of invasion, almost abandoned since the time of galleys." He asks, —What will war be henceforward ? and replies — "A struggle as much shortened in duration as it will be more bloody . and more terrible—a war of ravage an d destruction, in which steam will play the principal part. ,, M. de Verninac, like M. de Montaignac, does not see the distinction between attack and defence, for he says, subseq uentl y t o tehxeaibnoedvere ti extracts tility • f. " It is designedly, and by a discretion all will under stand, ra t n h c e were av y France n that I have as yet only am th e marine under the head of 'defence.' Itfh obliged to take the offensive, she would fi n d i n I propose (that proposed by the commissionis far more powerful) all the elements required for attack only necessary to urge the formati on of theseelem. M. de Verninac's furthe r views in this discre tion are again veiled under asterisks e n lt et . i ' s ' but we think his evidence valuable as it shows ; the visi ons o f ambition and aggrandizement was can alone ex plain the vast efforts France has making, for extending her navals made, and is still power. (To be continued. It appeared that on the night of the 18th of April two men, named George Blackburn and William Swarbrick, went into the Shovels Inn, in Hambleton, when the pri soner, who was in liquor, came in about a quarter-past six, and having sat down, asked for a glass of beer, and said " I've killed our Bet." The two men upon this left the inn and went to the prisoner's house, and shouted "Heigh, Bet ;" but no, one answered. They then went to the back of the house, and in the garden they found the body of the deceased lying on her back, with her head on one side, her hand up to the side of her face, and one leg a little drawn up to the body, and blood on her cheek. Blackburn then went away, and while Swar brick was standing by the body, the prisoner came up. Swarbrick asked him how he did it, and he (prisoner) said, "I shot her, and I will shoot myself." He then fetched a gun out of the house, and got some potato forks, and fixed them in the ground near the dead body. He then put the stock of the gun on the ground, and laid the barrel against the forks, with the muzzle towards himself, as the witness Swarbrick dared not stop with him any longer, but watched, and saw the prisoner leave the forks, and go and jamb the butt of the gun into the bush, with the muzzle towards him. This he did twice, and then left the gun and went into the house. Swat-- brick then went to the gun, which the prisoner had left on the ground, and, trying it with the ramrod, found that it was loaded, upon which he drew the charge, and found that it was loaded with No. 2 shot, but had no cap on. Shortly after the prisoner came out of the house, and laid himself down by the side of the body, laid his arm over it, and wept, and after lying about ten minutes he returned into the house. Swarbrick followed him into the house, upon which the prisoner asked him what he wanted ; he had another gun in his hand, which he was loading. Two men, named Jackson and Hill, then came in, and took the gun from the prisoner, and the prisoner then went out, and dragged the body into the house, and said, " She must not lie on the garden all night." The body was then placed on the sofa, and while they were sitting with the prisoner, he said, " I have shot her--I won't deny it," At half-past eight a policeman named H. Cooper, who had been sent for, arrived, and found the deceased dead on the sofa, bleed ing from shot wounds on the left side of the face. The officer apprehended him, and the prisoner sa'd, " I did it ; go with you quietly." On his way to the sta tion he said, " I shot her out of the kitchen window. I took good aim. lam a capital shot. lam happy that I did it." The officer asked him what he had done it for ? and he replied, " I don't know." He also said that he aimed at the killing place, and shot her dead. Mr. Blair addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and contended that the whole case rested upon the in coherent statements of the prisoner himself, and that those statements, coupled with his conduct, showed him to have been in a state of mental distraction at what had occurred. This state of mind and conduct was incon sistent with the supposition that he had committed wil ful and deliberate murder, but was the conduct which might be expected from a man who had, either by acci dent or recklessness in discharging his gun through a window, caused the death of his wife • and if the jury were of that opinion they would find the prisoner guilty of manslaughter only. But if they thought that the death had been occasioned without recklessness, they would acquit him altogether. The jury returned - a verdict of " Guilty of Prilful Murder," but recommended him to mercy. His Lordship—On what ground, gentlemen ? The Foreman—The inconsistency of the case. His Lordship—l do not understand you. Do you mean, if consistently with justice he can be recommended to mercy, you wish to recommend him ? Foreman—Yes. His Lordship put on the black cap and proceeded to pass sentence. He said—Richard Pedder, you have been found guilty of a most foul and deliberate murder, upon evidence which has satisfied the jury, and must hays satisfied every one who has heard your case. What cause or motive it was which induced you to take the life of your wife, whether it was some secret malice, or whether it was from mere brutal and reckless indifference to human life and suffering, remains a mystery to us, and is only known to God and your own heart. But mere recklessness and disregard of human life and suf fering, if such the cause, can never be admitted as an excuse for a crime like this. So far as we can judge from the evidence and your own declarations, you deli berately deprived your wife of life, and by the law of both God and man you have incurred the penalty of death. It is not my duty, and certainly not my inclina tion, to aggravate the horror of your situation by any observations of mine; but it is my duty to tell you that for you, on earth, I fear there is no hope. The jury have recommended you to mercy, but only provided your case is one which consistently with justice deserves it. I have no power to hold out the hope of mercy to you, and I therefore earnestly implore you to prepare for the worst. I have but one duty t o p er f orm, and that is, to pass upon you the dreadful sentence of the law, which is, that you be taken from hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence to a place of execu tion, and that there you be hanged by the neck until you be dead ; and may the Lord have mercy on your soul. The prisoner, who appeared quite unmoved, was then ,aken from the dock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAN SION - HOlTSE.—Jeremial t . Madden, who was on Monday last c h arge d with having stabbed Charles Connor in a lodging-house in White Horse-court, Wide gate-street, Bishopsgate, was brought before Alderman Wire for final examination. The prosecutor and prisoner, and other Irish tailors, had been drinking together on Sunday night at a public house in the neighbourhood of Petticoat-lane, and some unintelligible dispute had taken place. The prosecutor, not being able to get into his own lodging at the unsea sonable hour of breaking up, accepted the invitation of a friend, who was of the party, to take share of a room in which, it appeared, the prisoner also had a bed, and the moment the prosecutor entered the room he was struck with a pair of scissors by the prisoner, whb issued from his bed with the weapon. Mr. G. Allcard, house-surgeon at the London Hos pital, said,—When the prosecutor was brought in on Monday morning I examined his person, a nd found a wound under the left nipple. The scissors produced might have inflicted the wound, which , though in itself not dangerous, might have been fatal if deepen the weapon went through the waistcoat, which checked effect of the blow. • William White said that be and Connor, the prose cutor, and Ragan, also a tailor, met the prisoner at a publichouse, where, while they sat, they were on good THE REVIEW OF THE FLEET IN 1814. At this moment, when the review of the fleet at Spithead is exciting so much attention, it may not be unacceptable to our readers if we extract from our own columns a description of the last royal review of the fleet which took place at Spithead o!2 the 25th of June, 1814, on the occasion of the visit of the allied Sovereigns to London : " PORTSMOUTFf, June 25. —The dockyard yesterday morn ing engaged the attention of our illustrious visitors. The Prince Regent, the Duke of York, the King of Prussia, the Prussian Princes, the other princes of Ger many, and a large assemblage of distinguished indi viduals, native and foreign, repaired early to the Em peror Alexander, at Commissioner Grey's house, whence they proceeded to view the various establishments. The ships building or repairing in the slips, the immense naval stores of every description in the warehouses, the rope-house, the copper-works, and all the other import ant branches, were examined with much attention. But the Emperor and the King appeared more peculiarly in terested by that u nequa ll e d system of machinery for making the ships' bl oc k s, t h e rapid operations of which they witnessed with particular pleasure. All expressed their admiration of the mechanism, which they thought was of itself well worth coming to Portsmouth to see. The numerous objects of curiosity and utility in the yard occupied all the forenoon. " About two o'clock the royal barges, with the whole party, and the rest of the grand aquatic procession, left the King's-stairs at the dockyard, in the same order as the day before, to pay another and a longer visit to the fleet in the Roads. Royal salutes were fired from all the batteries. On their arrival at the fleet, the Prince Regent, Kin.. and Princes of Prussia, and many othe•..s, went on board the Royal Sovereign yacht, which imme diately hoisted the royal standard. The Emperor Alex ander bad previously gone with the Duke of Clarence on board the Impregnable, the interior of which seems to afford his Imperial Majesty peculiar delight. He was as assiduous as before in making himself personally a cquainted with nautical arrang emen t s. The fleet, con sisting of 15 sail of the line, and a b out the same number of frigates, formed a line o f seven or eight miles in ex tent, in front of the isle of Wight. They received the royal visitors with a general salute, after which they slipped their cables, and werenie immediately under sail north t -east te outgale, t o sea. y 813 wHietlhena's, brisk nd e T e h d e ily ß c o l y eal s cl o S ve t.. reign yacht ltehdethisTe Naval Commissioners, The yachts and barges of the Commissioner; the Ordnance, and other public offices, a great number of private yachts, and a b ove 2 00 vessels of all descriptions, sailed d out, keepin g a t var i ous distances from the fleet. "About five o'clock the whole line-of-battle ships hove to by signal, when the Prince Regent, the King of Prus sia, the Prussian and other Princes, left the Royal Sove reign, and went to the Emperor of Russia and his party in the Impregnable, to which the royal standard was accordingly shifted. At this time the leading ships were about twelve miles from Portsmouth. The royal circle partook of some entertainment in the Im pregnable's cabin. The signal was made soon after wards for the return of all the ships of war to their an chorage, where they were reviewed on Thursday. The wind was not so favourable for sailing back. As they returned, they continued their firing, so as to afford, in some respects, the idea of a naval engagement. "The whole line were at their anchorage by half-past 7, off Spithead, when the Emperor, King, Regent, Princes, &c. &c., all quitted the man-of-war, and got into their respective barges, sailed up the harbour, _ and landed at the King's-stairs.
