SOUND and WHITE TEETH are not only indispensably requisite to a pleasing exterior in both sexes, but they are peculiarly appreciated through life as a blessing highly conducive to the purposes of health and longevity. Among the vari ous preparations offered for the purpose, ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or Pearl Dentifrice, stands unrivalled in its capability of embellishine, purifying, and preserving the teeth to the latest period of life. Pre pared from Oriental herbs, with unusual care, transmitted to this country at great expense, this unique compound will be found to eradicate all tartar and concretions, impart a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface, remove spots of incipient decay, render the gums firm and red, fix the teeth firmly in their sockets, and, from its aromatic influence, impart sweetness and purity to the breath. It is important to observe, that when used early in life, it effectually pre vents all aches in the teeth and gums, effaces spots and discolour,- tion, eradicates scurvy, and, in a word, soon realises the chief attri bute of health and beauty—a Fine Set of Pearly Teeth. Price 2s. 9d. per box. CAUTION.—The words " Rowlands' Odonto " are on the Label, and ' A. Rowiano and Son, 20, Hatton-garden," engraved on the Govern ment Stamp affixed on each box.

Its bloodless battles create infinite amusement ; the number of spectators is multiplied by the increasing interest of the grand spectacle • the military exploits at Chohhem are sights seldom wit nessed, and the Attire of the visitors is as much noticed as that of the forces and their superiors. In this, as in all other concerns, the cut, make, and superior finish displayed in Simmer Clothing infal libly point out the benefits derived from the East and Nest-end Establishments of E. MOSES and Sort. The advantages presented to the public are selection from the most novel and magnificent Stock of Clothing, Hats, Caps, Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c., ever inspected, for which considerably lower prices are charged than at any other house in the world. Merchants, Captains, and Emigrants may procure the most useful and the most saleable goods at the gigantic Wholesale Department of E MOSES and Sores Establishment. The low prices charged will secure an immense profit on the transit of the goods to any colony in the world. All classes of Emigrants outfitted in the best and most economical manner. Ship. sailing information and full lists of outfits for ladies and gentlemen may be had on application, or post free to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

The tribe of Quiet Symathisers,' and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who gaffer from the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hindreds would be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize— much money—. ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat mmt upon a more rational and physiological basis.

No. ix. had resisted, for a period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed in as many weeks.

ATTORNEYS' RELIEF BILL AND THE ADVERTISEMENT DUTY. tion as to suppose that the few red and white jacketted men, called the enemy, represent merely the skirmishers of some tremendous army in their rear, they will be staggered at seeing bodies of troops, outnumbering their opponents by nearly a hundred to one, retreating in double-quick time before a handful of men on the oppo site slopes. We will, therefore, ask the reader to sup pose that immense bodies of infantry are marching up on the enemy's left, and that their foremost columns have opened such a galling fire on the Guards as to compel them to retire—for at this moment they are hastily forming into column, and retiring under the cover of some rising ground. As they retire, however, Sir R. England's brigade commences a beautiful and rapid file firing on the enemy's right and centre ; their fire is replied to with energy by the enemy, and in their turn the Ist Light Brigade rapidly march off in column through the line of Colonel Lockyer's brigade, press on through their own artillery on the heights, nor halt till they are secure behind a hill. Colonel Lockyer's bri gade, ,with the 79th Highlanders, is now the only one which stands its ground ; it fires several volleys, and in its turn passes over the hill, while the artillery on the right and left protect the flanks of the retiring troops. The enemy advances in double-quick time, gains the summit of the hill, and another victory in atlin's Val ley is to be recorded on the imperishable records of the gallant Sappers and Fusiliers. Elate with the proud consciousness of having nobly done their duty, each regiment then marched past Lord Hardinge, Lord Sea ton, the Duke of Cambridge, and'a most brilliant staff. As the cavalry were marching back to their camps, they had to pass over a boggy piece of land lying in the valley which runs in the frontof the encampment. Th e crust of the bo g was compa ratively hard, and merely trembled as the horses' passed over it. As the last straw, however, broke the back of the camel, so the last trooper of the Scots Greys broke the upper surface of this quagmire, and the horse with its rider, like another Quintus Curtius, was rapidly disappearing in the ground. By a desperate leap the rider jumped off, the back of the fast-sinking horse, only, however, to be himself en gulphed in the mire. Captain Boyd, of the Scots Greys, with a feeling of humanity which reflects the highest credit on him, and regardl ess o f persona l i nconven i ence, leaped off his horse, and by great exertion, and with the assistance of a number of other men of the Scots Greys, succeeded in pilling the man out. The horse was in the meantime gradually sinking lower and lower, despite all its exertions to release itself, and the whole of its hind quarters had disappeared before, by the united ex ertions of some dozen men, it could be got out of its un comfortable position. One of the men of the Bth Hussars almost immediately after met with a similar fate, and he with his horse was only released with the same amount of trouble and exertion. The' was, as may well be supp ose d, any appearance of both horse and rider, upon emerg i ng from the bog, thing but regimental. We believe that n e ith er t h e men nor the horses received any injury beyond the alarm and inconvenience to which they were subjected. The philanthropic exertions of Captain Boyd were at tended with the complete ruin of a new and very bril liant uniform which he wore. We are informed that General Sir de Lacy Evans a short time since was a vic tim to a similar occurrence near the same spot. (From the Times.) The question of the Attorneys' Certificate Duty was discussed and determined on Wednesday under what Lord Robert Grosvenor very justly termed "peculiar" circumstances. The house was in some sense committed to the repeal of the tax, for it had divided in favour of such a proceeding more than once. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was committed against the repeal, and the force against him had been partially, neutralised, not only by a concession on another point, but by the acci dental absence of certain members. In the end, the Attorneys' Relief Bill was rejected by a majority of 84, so that this matter is at length decided. That the con clusion of the house will be also the conclusion of the country we have little doubt. Mr. Gladstone stated the case so strongly as to leave his hearers no practical alternative. Recapitulating the re sults of his budget, and taking into account the unfavour able prospects of the coming harvest, he could not, he ob served, safely reckon on a surplus of more than 50,000/. or 100,0001. This was on the supposition that his financial scheme was to be accepted entire ; but there were two points on which the house had shown a disposition to make retrenchments for itself. The advertisement duty, amounting to 80,0001., had been condemned, and the Attorneys' Certificate Duty, producing exactly the same sum, had also been marked out for abolition by an inde pendent vote. Mr. Gladstone was threatened with a loss of 160,0001., which was evidently more than he could sustain. His anticipated Surplus of from 50,0001. to 100,000/., considering the happy tendency of such estimates to exceed themselves, might perhaps enable him to meet the house half-way, and concede one out of its two demands, but it was clear that both sets of re monstrants could not be indulged without ruin to- the whole budget, inasmuch as the financial scheme for the year would then present a deficit. It was suggested, therefore, ; that~ the 'advertisemeAt duty could certainly not be repealed if the attorneys were relieved, and, this being the alternative offered, the house threw the attor neys overboard without any further ado. We have often said that there is not, and perhaps never will be, a single tax against which a case of more or less force cannot be made out ; but we really think the Attorneys' Certificate Duty is as little obnoxious to criticism as most of our financial propositions. It is levied upon a class of men well able, on the average, to pay it, and to an extent which certainly cannot be called oppressive. Taking the general body of town and coun try solicitors, no person, we presume, would assert that a contribution of 91. a-year from the former and 61. from the latter class can operate seriously to their hardship. For our part, indeed, we are of opinion that the only argument maintainable against the tax is that against licences in general. It certainly seems hard that an at torney should be called upon to pay for the mere privilege of practising his profession, while a surgeon on the other side of the street is exempted from any such demand, for as far as "securing respectability" goes the guarantee, if really created by a 91. tax, is quite as desirable in one faculty as the other. We may go beyond professions, and say that in the case of trades, according to the prima facie view of principles, either all should be taxed or all left free. Why should a grocer, or a tea-dealer, or a wine merchant be taxed, any more than a butcher or a draper, or a silversmith keeping a shop in the same town ? Why, to take a still stronger instance, should a man who sells fish over his counter without hindrance be compelled to pay for the right of selling game ? If the attack had been made upon the whole system of li cences there would not have been much to say, excepting, perhaps, that it yielded its contribution to the treasury without having hitherto produced any complaints. In point of fact, the licence of the dealer is paid for by the customer in the price of the articles purchased ; nor has the arrangement, as far as we are aware, ever excited any opposition, excepting at that particular point where the objections to be taken were the smallest. If grocers and snuff-dealers are fit subjects for this species of taxa tion, attorneys are unquestionably fitter still ; nor could their certificate duty be repealed without creating great injustice in the case of all licences whatever. Of the advertisement duty, which was definitively abandoned last night, we have repeatedly said that it acted both oppressively and unfairly, not upon adver tisers but upon newspapers. Advertisements in books, in carriages, at railway stations, on railway tickets, and even on vehicles so troublesome as to be put down by special act of Parliament, were left scot free. It was only when a person advertised in the regular channel that he was called upon to pay duty, and this duty was so regulated that it was exceedingly oppressive in some cases and absolutely inappreciable in others. It was a tax upon the intercommunication of wants, and was un doubtedly opposed to many of the most approved princi ples of trade and finance. Unluckily, the same may be said of so many other taxes that the argument loses much of its weight, but, as the house has determined upon the relief of newspapers preferentially, we can only congratulate ourselves upon the decision, and, if the sub ject were one in which we were less immediately inte rested, we should affirm without much scruple that ad vertisements had certainly a far better claim than attor neys. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS COURT.—JULY 21. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) THE YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY V. HUDSON. Mr. Rolt and Mr. Toiler resumed the arguments in this case to-day on the part of the defendant, and con ' fined themselves, by the direction of the Court, princi pally to the transactions relative to the 2,503 tons of rails, and interest upon the sum of 9,0001. in dispute between the parties. With respect to the first, they contended that the defendant had a right to charge the plaintiff at the rate of 121. per ton, which was considered at the time to be the market value thereof ; and it was incorrect to argue that the defendant was acting during the transaction as agent for the plaintiffs. lie bought the rails solely on his own account, and without any order to that effect, from the plaintiffs, and when he sold them, he sold them to the plaintiffs as he would to any one else, at their then value. With respect to the 9,0001., the learned counsel contended that the defen dant had paid all that he was called upon to pay, that is to say, the whole of the 9,000/. ; and there could be no pretence now to charge him with interest on the same, inasmuch as the transactions closed when the sum de manded was paid. Mr. R. Palmer having replied, The Master of the that there was no doubt with respect to the transaction, as to the sale and pur chase of the rails, that the defendant was acting in the character of a trustee or agent for the plaintiffs, and that in such character he had entered into certain con tracts for the purchase of iron at a certain price, which contracts he must be held, as such trustee or agent, to have transferred to the plaintiffs ; and, therefore, in re ference to the same, he could not claim from them 12/, per ton for the iron which he had only paid 61. 10s. for. As to the question of the 9,0001., he would look through the evidence, and reserve his judgment till Monday ; and with reference to the other subjects of dispute be tween the parties, the usual order would be made as to account; and under such order the matters in dispute between the parties would be fully gone into and adjusted. The Solicitor-General, Mr. R. Palmer, and Mr. Hob house appeared for the plaintiffs ; Mr. Rolt and Mr. Toller for the defendant. The simple truth is, that the success of the attorneys up to a certain point was due less to their cause than their position. Mr. Gladstone, in describing them ironi cally as " a meritorious class, entirely without organisa tion, not represented in that house, and cut off from all the ordinary means of communication with it enjoyed by other classes," indicated very graphically the real secret of Lord Robert Grosvenor's strength. As hon. members care a good deal about their solicitors, and not much, we fear, about the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it was easy to gratify the former by a vote which would only be troublesome to the latter; and but, perhaps, for the absence of that interesting class which Mr. Murrough described as " the juvenile bar," the division of Wednes day evening might still have assumed another form. The attorneys, however, have no reason to complain of their representatives. Their case received throughout at least as much support as it deserved, and the last vote, we hope, will put the question at rest. The result of the original agitation will not be received, we fear, without a certain amount of malicious satisfaction. The attorneys had cla moured for a revision of the duties affecting their profes sion. To this demand Mr. Gladstone acceded ; but in stead of abolishing, as was anticipated, the whole certificate duty, he contented,himself with taking off a fourth, in consideration, as it appeared, of the diminution of law profits recently experienced. But he did not stop at this point. While upon the subject he directed his in quiries to certain other fees—those, namely, which are paid upon entrance to the profession, and these he re duced by one-third. The consequence is, that attorneys find competition encouraged in their calling to a greater extent than will be compensated by the relief of those already in practice, and, while the profession is not made much richer by the reduction of duty, it is made con siderably easier of access by the reduction of the stamp. The incident is not without its moral. There are many classes beside attorneys who confine their views too ex clusively to their own obligations, and who overlook the fact that in such a general revision of the subject as in quiry must bring they run the hazard of losing at least as much as they gain. A. second conclusion suggested by the debate points to the inseparable connection of one tax with another. The repeal of the certificate duty must have inevitably entailed the reconsideration of the whole system of licences, and even the repeal of the ad vertisement duty, as Mr. Gladstone himself predicted, will make the taxes upon i nsurances an d o th er suc h transactions exceedingly difficult to defend. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD cmc - urT.—STAFFORD, JULY 21. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) Sarah Baker, aged 24, was charged with the wilful murder of her illegitimate child, Charles Baker, on the 12th of June last, at the borough of Wolverhampton. Mr. Scotland appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Hud dlestone defended the prisoner. The following witnesses were called : Jane Whitehouse, wife of Edwd. Whitehouse, said— I live at Bloxwich, about 4 or 5 miles from Cheslinhay, and about 2 miles from Walsall. The prisoner is my niece. I knew her child ; I have known it about nine months. I recollect her coming to my house on Sunday, the 12th of June, about 6 o'clock. My house is about 300 yards from the high road. She had her child with her. She came into my house with the child. She stated to me that she had applied to Mr. Harrison, at Norton hall, for a dispensary ticket, and a lady who was there on a visit out of Derbyshire had fallen in love with her child, and asked her if she thought she could part with it. She said she could, and she thought it would be better done by ; and that she had agreed to take it to the lady between 10 and 11 o'clock on the Monday morning. That was said on the Sunday even ing. There is a Mr. Harrison living there in the neigh bourhood. She remained at my house about three hours, and left about 9 o'clock. She took her child with her when she left. I did not observe what direction she went in. I saw her again on the Monday evening, at about 8 o'clock. She had not her child with her then. I asked her if she had taken the child? She said, "Yes, she had." I asked her about what time she took the child ? She said about half-past 10 o'clock in the morn ing. I asked her if the child cried ? She said, "No, it did not ; she left the child asleep." I had no further conversation about the child. She remained at my house that night, and left on Tuesday morning about 7 o'clock. On the Friday following, the 17th of June, I was at the coroner's inquest, at the Swan Inn, at Pelsall. I saw the child then ; it was dead. I saw some of its dress. I knew it again. I had seen it at my house on the Sun day evening. It was the dress the child had on. Cross-examined—l knew the woman to be fond of the child in my presence. She was in very great distress, misery, and wretchedness. I never saw her with a far thing. I and my friends are very poor people. She lived on what she could get from one and another. She did not appear able to work. I saw her on the Saturday week before the Sunday. She had about three or four weeks before come out of the workhouse. She did not appear able to do any work. She was in a very weak state. She did not cry, but was very low in spirits, and was scarcely able to support herself. This was the first time she came. My husband is a miner. Thomas Walters said—l was a policeman at Walsall on the 14th of June. I was on duty at Bloxhall on that day. I went to a house in Abblewell-street (Longmore's), in Walsall, at between six and seven o'clock in the even ing. I had had information. I saw the prisoner there. She sat just in the house, sewing, just inside the doorway. I asked her if her name was Sarah Baker. S he said, " Yes." I asked her what she had done with the child which she had at her aunt's on Sunday night She said she sat on the Norton-road on the Monday ni:rfaidng with the child in her arms, and was cryin and ° lced he y r what e riding by in a gig ; that she stopped h as ershe was as in was the matter with her; that she told sad distress and destitute ; that the lady asked her if she would like to part with her child, and she told her ' "yes" ; she said she was going into Derbyshire, and d k would take the baby with her an take care of it. I said—" You come and show me the place, and W hi ch She came along into the Lichfield way the lady went." road. When she got near to the grammar-school I said —" I'm afraid you've made away with the child." She began to cry, and said, " I have made away with the child, and I hope the Lord She said, w I will ‘, lave mercy on me for what I have done.will go and show lies." She went, on the roa d t o Pelsall-common, you where my baby and pointed to an old pit, and That's where my baby lies." said, She then showed me this shawl, and said, " This is the shawl that s lipped off him when I th rew him down the pit." She said, " When you find the body— when you find my baby—it will have on a blue frock with a white stripe, and a straw hat, and shoes and stockings." I then took her to Walsall and gave her in charge on her own confession of the murder. I left her with the superintendent. The next day I went to the pit again. It was searched in my presence by Francis Braabury and Thomas Ball. It was an old pit shaft that had been worked out for years. I saw a male child taken out of the pit. It was brought up by Francis Brad bury. It was taken to the Swan Inn at Pelsall. A coroner's inquest was held upon it afterwards. The skirt of the frock the child had on was turned over its head and pinned on the left shoulder. It covered its SECURITY TO EMPLOYERS, To Secretaries of Public Institutions, Clerks, Station Masters, Rail way Officials, Bankers' Clerks, Travellers, and Others. rrIMES LIFE ASSURANCE and GUARAN- I TEE COMPANY, 32, Ludgate-hill, London.

The following Report was presented : On presenting the half-yearly accounts, the Directors are happy to have it in their power to report the continued progress of the business of the Bank. It will be seen that the net profits of th 3 half-year are 31,540/. 35., out of which sum the Directors propose to make a dividend for the half-year after the rate of Si. per cent. per annum, and to carry for ward the remainder, viz. 7,540/. 35., to the credit of profit and loss account of the next half-year. The Directors have had under their careful consideration the sug gesti ,ns made at the last meeting of shareholder.; respecting the ex pediency of placing some restriction on the amount to which the Guarantee Fund should be allowed to attain, and they have conse quently determined to divide annually in future the whole of the net profits amongst the shareholders, and not to put to that fund any part thereof, excepting such fractions as it may be impossible to divide : so that henceforth the only additions to it will be interest after the rate of three per cent., as required by the deed of settle ment ; and when they consider the important objects for which this fund was established, and that for the attainment of those objects a resort to the reserve which it' provides may be occasionally neces sary, the Directors trust that this arrangement will be satisfactory to the shareholders. - While calling the attention of the shareholders to the duty they have this day to discharge, in filling up the existing vacancy in the direction, the Directors wish to avail themselves of the oppo - tunity of expressing their sense of the great worth and highly honourable charac'er of their late colleague, William Curling, Esq. ; and the shareholders will, they are sure, participate with them in a feeling of regret at the loss which the Bank has sustained. The only can didate to supply the vacancy is Philip William Flower, Esq., who is duly qualified, and has given the requisite notice-a. The dividend will be payable on and after Friday, the 29th inst. The preceding Report having been read to the meeting by the Secretary, a dividend for the half-year ending the 30th June last, after the rate of 81. per cmatum per annum was declared by the Chairman. Resolved unanimously,—That the Report now read be received and that itbe printed for the use of the shareholders. The Chairmin then declared the meeting to be an Extraordinary General Meeting for the purpose of electing a Director, in the room of the late William Curling, Esq., and stated that the only candi date was Philip William Flower, Esq. The question having been put to the meeting, Mr. Flower was declared duly elected a Director of the Bank.

The whole division was under arms at eleven o'clock, and each regiment was minutely inspected by Lord Har dinge in front of its encampment. The inspection over, the whole of the troops marched over the Queen's bridge, on the extreme right of the camp, the enemy—consisting of the same forces as before, with the exception of a fresh company of Sappers, who had relieved the first company—being posted behind a hill close to Colonel Challoner's plantation. The 4th Light Dragoons first crossed the bridge and attempted to dislodge the enemy, but failing in their attempt, retired to the rear, covered by a battery of the Royal Artillery. In the mean time the other portions of the divisional army had crossed the bridge and formed up under shelter of the range of hills opposite the encampment. After a short halt, and having thrown out their skirmishers, the army proceeded by regiments to attack the enemy, who finally retired into the shelter afforded by Colonel Chal loner's plantation, where " bush fighting" was carried on for some time between the enemy and the light com panies. The enemy, however, ultimately succeeded in driving back the attacking forces, and obtained a strong position on the hills, somewhat to the left of their first ground. The defeated brigades, retiring beyond the range of the enemy's guns, and covered by several field batteries, proceeded to re-form in line. While thus en gaged, the cavalry, which had formed in two lines, the light cavalry in the foremost and the heavy cavalry in the rearmost, made several attacks on the enemy. As the 4th Light Dragoons and Bth Hussars were seen galloping up, the enemy rapidly threw themselves into squares, and as soon as the cavalry had approached within range they were saluted with a well-delivered volley from each miniature square, from which they re tired by " threes" from the right of squadrons, and formed in rear of the infantry, who were by this time drawn up in three splendid lines. The brigade of Guards was in line on the right, Sir R. England's brigade thrown back on the left, and behind it the brigade of Colonel Lockyer, while crowning the heights on the rear were three field batteries, one field battery on the ex treme left, and the Horse Artillery on the right flank of the Guards. The undulating nature of the ground made this disposition of the forces an exceedingly strong one, while its appearance was remarkably fine. In order to meet this threatened assault, the enemy extended their line to an equal distance with that of the opposing forces and commenced firing with surprising vigour. The popping of their 150 pieces was, however, soon hushed in the tremendous roll of musketry which the Guards threw into their lines.

PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES. COMMITTEE ON THE NATIONAL GALLERY. This committee met again yesterday, the members present being Colonel Mure (in the chair), Lord Sey mour, Lord Elcho, Lord Graham, Sir H. Inglis, and Mr. Baring Wall. Baron Klintz, who has the reputation of being ac quainted, as a connoisseur, with most of the collections of art and painting throughout Europe, was the first witness examined, and after giving the committee some interesting information with respect to the collections at Munich and St. Petersburg, stated that, in his opinion, our National Gallery, though young and not particularly prolific in point of pictorial production, was nevertheless a repository of some of the finest works of the most eminent masters, and that, comparing the relative pro portion of the pictures it contained with that of other collections of paintings, fewer pictures of either an equivocal or mediocre character were to be met with than in any other National Gallery with which he was acquainted. Dr. H. Wellesley, curator of the University Galleries, and principal of New Inn Hall, Oxford, was of opinion that the recent "cleaning" of the pictures in the Na tional Gallery, though it had deteriorated their appear ance, had not damaged them. It was an injudicious step to clean them at all. These pictures were not injured by the cleaning process generally, except as re garded the varnish or glazing. He alluded more par ticularly to the larger Claudes. Neither the smaller Claude nor the Velasquez ever had, he thought, any glazing. It would be desirable to remove the National Gallery to a comparatively smok e l esss a t mos ph er e ou t at, Kensington. He objected to the "cleaning" process al together. it interfered with the beautiful effect conferred by the toning of time, and the mellowing influences of maturity on the masterpieces of art. Directly a pic ture changed hands, the possessor thought it must, as a matter of course, be cleaned. This was a vulgar error. He objected to the present constitution of the trustee ship of the National Gallery, and expressed himself in favour of a general director in chief, well u p in the knowledge of pictorial art, with plenary a u th or ity f or the purpose of picture purchasing, as was the case in connexion with the ga,llaries at Berlin and Paris. In default of this he would decidedly prefer that the national collection of pictures should be under royal trusteeship, and that such collection, if under the direction of the sovereign, would have all the essentials to excellence that now formed the characteristics of individual collec tions. It was on this principle that the unrivalled collec tions of Charles I. King of Bavaria, Louis IV., and of the Popes had been formed. Had there been a director in chief of the National Gallery or had it been royalty constituted, the last picture of the "Tribute Money," by Titian (if indeed it were a Titian), would not have been purchased, nor the " Adoration of the Shepherds" bought for 2,0001. with the united ap probation o f th e t rus t ees , an d w hi c h was not i n hi s ( t h e witness's) opinion worth buying at all. The trustees of the National Gallery had purchased some of the best and some of the worst of pictures. He blamed the system in saying this, and not the trustees. Did not know of any instance in which Parliament had been niggardly in al lowing grants for the purchase of pictures, but some times it was an inconvenient thing to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The trustees might have selected better pictures and pictures more worthy of the nation with the money they had already expended. The committee then adjourned. [F'RicE SD. head. Its hands were crossed in the frock. In that state it was taken to the Swan Inn. It is about three miles from Worley-bank to Bloxwich, and two miles from Bloxwich to Walsall. The road to Pelsall leads out of the Lichfield-road, the road that goes from Wor ley-bank to Walsall. It is three miles from Walsall to Pelsall. The pit is about a mile or a mile and a-half from Little Bloxwich-bridge. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Huddlestone addressed the jury for the prisoner. Mr. Justice Crompton summed up the case, and The jury, after some consideration, found the prisoner guilty of murder, but strongly recommended her to mercy upon the ground of the desponding state of her mind at the time, and all the distressing circum stances. The learned Judge then pronounced the awful sentence of the law in the usual form, concluding with a prayer that the Lord would have mercy on the prisoner's soul. The prisoner, who during her trial appeared to be much affected and cried a great deal, was then removed in a fainting state. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH WARK.— COLLISION BETWEEN THE CRYSTAL PALACE WORKMEN AND THE POLICE.-Mr. A'Beckett was occupied nearly the whole day in investigating charges against two police constables, James Llorlock and William Horlock, 114 and 161 M division, for com mitting violent and unprovoked assaults on several of the persons employed by Messrs. Fox and Henderson, the contractors of the Crystal Palace, on the platform of the Brighton Railway Terminus, London-bridge. Mr. Clarkson attended for the complainants, and Mr. Solomons for the constables. Mr. Clarkson said he appeared in these cases for the complainants, workmen in the employ of Messrs. Fox and Henderson, the well-known contractors of the Crystal Palace, who had been most cruelly treated by the police. It might be as well to inform his worship that the Railway Company provided a special train each day to convey the workmen to the Palace in the morn ing, and back in the evening. On Saturday evening, the train brought up about a thousand men, and on the. arrival platform they were met by a body of police, mar shalled, with their truncheons drawn, and attacked, with out the least provocation, by them. He should be able to show that the persons for whom he appeared neither by aet nor deed misbehaved themselves, and that the police acted with the greatest violence. He then called— Daniel Davis, one of the foremen of the glass-cutters at the Crystal Palace, who stated that on Saturday even ing, shortly after five o'clock, lie came up with other men, amounting to more than a thousand, from the pa lace by the special train. Witness was with several foremen in a second-class carriage behind. When the train arrived at the ticket platform it stopped near half an hour, when the engine was" detached, and taken be hind to run the train to the terminus. He there saw a man held by a police constable, who threatened to beat him with his truncheon. On his arrival at the terminus witness got out of the carriage, and endeavoured to get out of the station, when he saw about 15 police constables drawn up, with their truncheons out. He then saw po lice-constable 161 M strike a man down twice with his staff. Witness went up to him, and remonstrated with him, when the other defendant, 114 M, came up to him, and collared him, and drove him along the platform with his truncheon, the end of which he placed to his back, and forced him with great violence against one of the iron pillars. He was much hurt, and he positively de clared that he made no disturbance, or acted in any way so as to cause such brutal treatment. Witness, as soon as he got out of the terminus, proceeded to the station, where he reported the conduct of the constables to Su perintendent Haynes. This witness was cross-examined at some length by Mr. Solomons, but his evidence was not in the least shaken. With regard to the assault, he did not see any of the workmen on the rails except seven or eight, who were following a man who had been struck, neither did he see any violence offered to the constables. By Mr. Clarkson—Police-constable 114 31 was either drunk or mad ; but he had no hesitation in saying that he was drunk. James Wheeler, clerk to Mess r s. F ox an d Henderso n, said he came up 13:y the same train with last witness, and on alighting at the platform he saw some one in custody, and on proceeding past, he perceived 114 M strike Mr. Davis with his staff on the shoulder behind, and push him towards a column with it. Mr. Davis did not resist or attempt any violence. Witness was of opinion that 114 M was drunk. He did not see any of the workmen get out before the train arrived at the terminus. - Similar evidence having been given with respect to other cases, Mr. Solomons, for the defence, contended that the officers had not acted in the violent manner stated. The men who came up by the Crystal Palace train were of that unruly kind that the railway authorities had been compelled to call in the assistance of the police to pre vent loss of life and confusion. He called Mr. Wolstenow, ticket inspector in the employ of the London, Brighton, and South-coast Railway, who said he was at the ticket platform on Saturday evening last, when the train arrived. The men were very unruly, and threw stones and other things from the carriages, and more than a hundred got out when the train stopped, and he had some difficulty in compelling them to re enter the carriages. However, a great number ran down the rails to the terminus, to the imminent danger of their lives. There were at that time two trains due from Epsom and Dorking. When witness arrived at the terminus the men were separated on the rails, and he requested the defendants to put them back and clear the platform. Witness did not see either of the con stables use their staves. The workmen coming up by the train in question used the lowest and most disgust ing language. Several constables were examined, and gave similar evidence. Mr. A'Beckett said that the police must be pro tected in the execution of their duty, and it was neces sary that they should so conduct themselves that the public had confidence in them, but if they exceeded their duty they must be punished. The charges before him appeared to have arisen through the arrival of the Crystal Palace train, and, he was sorry to say, that great disorder occurred among the men ; that actually the inhabitants of the houses near the terminus had complained publicly in that court of the gross mis conduct of the workmen who daily travelled by it. Among such a vast body of men there must be some evil-disposed, but he hoped the majority were well-con - ducted, and when so they must be protected. These witnesses and complainants appeared to be of the latter class, therefore it was unnecessary for the police to use violence towards them. Davis saw the constable useimore violence than was necessary towards one of the workmen, and when he went to remonstrate with him he was bru tally attacked by 114 M. He did not think that there was any evidence to implicate 161 M, as the party whom he assaulted had not thought proper to come forward, therefore he must be discharged. With regard to 114 M, he should fine him 405., or one month for assaulting Mr. Davis ; 405., or one month for assaulting Sauls, another workman, and 31., or six weeks for assaulting Bremsyne. The fines were immediately paid. THE CLIPPER SHIP SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAN. —This celebrated ship, of which we gave a description a few days since, has been chartered by Messrs. James Baines and Co., proprietors of the Liverpool Black Ball line of Australian packets, for a voyage to Australia and back. The Sovereign of the Seas, from her well-known capabi lities as a sailer, is expected to make a very fast run. She it is who has logged the most extraordinary distances ever made by any vessel, not excepting the fastest steamers afloat. During her run from the Sa ndwich Islands to New York, she logged, in 10 successive day 5 ,3,144 miles, and in 22 successive days 6,245 miles. From noon of one day to noon of the next, the Sovereign of the Seas made 8 degrees 44 minutes of longitude, which in time is 34 minutes and 56 seconds—that is, her noon to noon of that day was only 23 hours, 25 minutes, 4 seconds long, and in that time she ran 419 statute miles, or at the rate of 427'6 miles to the 4 t h t i of m e August her u st for the 2 4 ho urs. She sailed from Boston, on h er maide i alar:itvayleaart (Laivpeerprioodolo),f only an d since that time she has mad e th e following ni trip, m onths o n the pas sages :—From New York to San Francisco in 103 days, from San Francisco to the Sandwich Islands in a re markably short time, from the Sandwich Islands to New York in 82 days, and from New York to Liverpool in about 13 days, or an average of 190 miles per day for every day since she first put to sea. Messrs. Baines and Co. have manifested a deal of spirit since they entered into the Australian trade, having from the commence ment dispatched no ships but those of the first-class. The ship to succeed the Sovereign of the Seas is the splendid new clipper Aerolite, to be launched in a few days at Workington, where she has been built by M r . Lampost express l y f or the Australian and China trades, and to compete with the fastest American and Aberdeen clippers. The Aerolite will be followed by the famous Marco Polo, now.shortly expected from Australia. Two GIRLS SAVED FROM DROWNlNG.—Elizabeth Hodges and Hannah Wise, girls of about 15 years of age, of Twyford, near Bicester, were on Wednesday last saved, under the most praiseworthy circumstances, from drowning. When gathering flag•flowers from the mill-stream, they fell into the water, and must have been lost but for their companions screaming and attracting energetic persons to the spot. On hearing the cries, the Rev. W. Perkins, incumbent of the parish ; George Hall, a labourer ; and George Williams, letter messenger, hurried to the spot. Hall nobly went into the water to a considerable depth, and, assisted by Mr. Perkins and Williams, succeeded in getting the bodies from the stream. Although both appeared perfectly lifeless, on on being placed in a warm bath, and other available efforts being used, resuscitation ensued, and it is hoped they will recover. As the village is about three miles from any medical practitioner, it was not possible to obtain any such aid in time to be useful, and the rev. gentleman had to act with his neighbours on their own responsibility, which, happily, proved as successful as could, under such circumstances, have been desired. THE TURF.—We understand that a noble northern earl, who at times has been remarkable for his great luck on the green sod, is about to break up his racing estab lishment. 4.4.; s!

The dockyard at Chatham presented a very gay scene yesterday, in consequence of the launch of the Cressy, 80, screw steam-ship, which was witnessed by an 'exten sive circle of naval and military officers, the nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood, and numerous parties from London. The Cressy was designed in 1844 by the Chatham Committee on Naval Archit ec t ure , consisting ofMessrs. Red and Chitfield and the late Mr. Cruize. Within the last 12 months it was decided that the Cressy should be changed from a sailing to a screw steamship, and her form of body, which is fine abaft, rendered it an easy task to adapt her for a screw propeller, with out its being requisite to increase her length, which has been the case with the greater number of ships built ex pressly for sailing, when it afterwards became desirable to convert them into screw steam-ships. The Cressy was entirely built under the superintendence of Mr. Francis J. Laire, Master-shipwright at Chatham Dockyard, and is of the following dimensions : Ft. Length over all 251 In. 2 Length between perpendiculars l9B 5 Length for tonna ge 162 1 Breadth, extreme 55 0 Breadth for tonnage .... 54 3 Breadth, moulded.. Depth in hold Burden in tons, old measurement...2,s37 80.94 She has engines of 400 horse-power, on Maudalgy, Suns, and Field's double piston rod direct acting principle. At 12 o'clock the gates of the dockyard were thrown open, and the public admitted to witness the launch. At exactly half-past 12, Miss Percy, daughter of Vice -Ad miral the Hon. Joseeline Percy, C. 8., Commander-in- Chief at the Nore, was conducted by Capt. -Superintendent Peter Richards, C. 8., to the bow of the vessel, where Mr. Laire, master-shipwright, was superintending the arrangements for the launch, and, guided by his instruc tions, Miss Percy broke a bottle of wine on the bows, at the same time naming and wishing success to the Cressy on her future element, and in three minutes afterwards Miss Percy with a chisel and silver-mounted mallet, after two sharp blows, cut the slender cord that appeared to hold the splendid ship, and at the same mo ment the Cressy glided majestically over the ways pre pared for her into the Medway, amid the cheers of the numerous spectators, the band of the Royal Marines and the Dockyard band playing "Rule Britannia." The Majestic, 80, screw steam-ship, will be the next ship ready for launching at Chatham Dockyard, and it expected she will be ready in about two months from this time. SUICIDE FROM DISAPPOINTED LOVE. Yesterday, Mr. G. S. Brent held an inquest in the Kensington Workhouse, on Abraham Giles, aged 23, who committed suicide by blowing out his brains, under the following melancholy circumstances : Henry Westbrook said that, on Monday night, he was alarmed by the report of fire-arms in Warwick-square, and, upon hurrying to the spot whence the noise came, he found deceased lying dead on the pavement, his face and head being shattered to pieces, and a horse pistol, recently discharged, lying at his side. Witness instantly procured the assistance of the police, who removed the body to the workhouse. A powder-flask and several pebbles were found in deceased's pocket. Catherine Tedding, servant to Miss Patrick, 5, War wick-square, and deceased's sweetheart, a very pretty interesting girl, about 20, and who was deeply affected, said that she kept company with deceased twelve months, when, at the desire of her friends, who were opposed to her marrying him, she discontinued doing so, which fretted him very much. He told witness three months ago that he had loaded pistols at home, and would shoot himself. On Monday night he called at her mistress's house, and, speakin g th roug h t h e area railing to witn ess , said that he came to bid her good-by, as he was going to the country. After about ten minutes' conversation, she shook hands with him, and bid him good night. Shortly afterwards she looked out of her bed-room window, and saw deceased, who was standing in the same position as she left him, delibe rately discharge a pi s t o l i n t o hi s mouth, and fall to the ground. (Here witness nearly fainted, and had to be led out of the court. After her retirement three letters, couched in the most affectionate terms, and written by the witness to deceased were read.) Sarah Giles, deceased's mother, who was convulsed with grief, said that on the night in question, deceased going dre with ssedh a himself selffriied to cem nnhisbestr,anodrnwe Gardens. The same afternoon hewam: afternoon he wrote a letter to Catherine Tedding, of whom he was madly fond, stating that as she would not marry him, he would shoot himself, and fall at her side. But as deceased was in the best spirits, and as she looked upon it as a threat to frighten the latter, witness took no notice of the letter. Deceased had a brace of horse pistols for some months, one of which he took out on Monday night, leaving the other loaded at home. Mr. Stanhope, deceased's master, said the deceased always conducted himself with the greatest propriety until Monday morning, when upon witness remonstrat ing with hin,m,ehru,epiaonbnrsuugpmotintnedgiinygtodueptpl:aertecdo.untry, he peevishly lied " upon going you must get some one else to do r 7 7 7 observed that this was the second our h s ee% coroner, rikdo, inquest which lie had held within a brief period upon a person who committed suicide under pre cisely the same circumstances. Verdict—" Insanity." - A.BSING Tom.s.—Yesterday, among the Parliametitvy Papers, was one showing that the report on passing tolls is deferred. It, h owever, appears that the dues levied on ships, and goods in ships, amount to about heirs million per annum, and on these dues large debt! are secured. \~ . ,~ ITS. ly 26 16 1y 23 vin be Ia (vi a ed the 0rn0...
