Whether it be right for M,j r. Thorogood to submit for that reur2on, is a question whir h he has answered himself, With every proper respect fox your opinion, he does z.ot himself think that the w orld doe:, believe it is ne nssary to the Established C 'herch that he should lie 1. months in prison for not p aying ss. fid., or for not ap pearing to the process of xe Ecclesiastical Court, when, for a debt to any other per son or body, if he had not ap peared to a process from the Superior Courts, those Courts would simply h are passed judgment upon him to pay the amount pr ove d to be due from him, and the proof of the case again I st him, would have been, notwith standing he did not, appear, carefully watched by the Deputy Sheriff. Upon your obs ervation that you do not imagine that when he refiners to pay the 53. 6d. rate, he meant to go to prison, for it but he must have anticipated an noyance, seizure of his goods, but not to spend the re mainder of his life in gaol ; that he thomght he should be robbed, not murdered, for his contumacy he writes, " I love ti:tith better than expediency. " I never meant to pay the. rate. " I had ma d e u p my rnind:to suffer the penalty of my refusal, to he robbed, er slow 4 .ly murdered at the option of my Christian persecutors.

[ Air., Dear Sir, your's respectfully, (Signed) W. H. ASHURST. H. ASHEAST, M. TO U&. JOHN THOROGOOD. 137, Cheapside, April 2.9, 1840. ar Sir,—l enclose you the copy of a letter re me this morning from Mr. o not think it right to answer this letter in airy Way than as you shall direct. ?- suffering is your's, and the principle involved is se application of which, in your own case, you are :id and bound to decide upon for yourself. hall readily do in the matter what you may wish to done, nu can answer the letter to Mr. I will answer it as you may direct. If you wish me to answer it, then I wish that you should write to me fully what you with to have said. I am sure from what I know of you that you will not suffer yourself t 6 be improperly influenced in the matter, and, as I have before said, I feel it to be one upon which your own judgment ouglat to be deliberately exercised. I therefore send you Mr. letter without I am, &c., comment. yourself, w. ki, ASHURST. lis bo (Copy.) May g, 1840. My dear Si r ,—l rece i ved your favour of the 4th instant in course, an d h ave not found time, since my arrival from Lancashire, to do more than peruse it ; and must now r e ply very b r i e fl y. The first day I can getinto the City, I will call upon you, to have some conversation on Mr.Thorogood'Y3 business. lam afraid, however, from the tenor ef your letter, that my sincere wish to be of s erv i ce to hi m, and to show my sympathy in his principl'a and his sufferings, is likely to prove fruitless, My first request to Mr. Thorogood, to be put into communication with his solicitor, rather than Wlth himself direct, arose from a desire that he should have to make no personal compromise with his oppo nents, nor, under any circumstances, have to offer the slightest violence to his consc;entious scruples. I am sorry you have sent him my letter, for tw o reasons :—First, bec tuse i t ma k es hi m personallyin volved, the very thing I desired to avoid ; and secondly, because I sh ou ld no t h ave ma d e use o f expressions which he would naturally consider flippant and unfeel ing, and certainly would be so had they been addressed to himself. From what I understand from a high legal autho rity, I am afraid your present hopes of getting Mr. Thorogood out of prison, by proving the invalidity of his commitment or imprisonment, are likely to be dis appointed, and also that Dr. Lushington'e statement to the House of Commons was not far from the truth ; as also, that if rate and expenses be paid and appear ance entered, that nothing more would be requisite to secure his discharge. Notwithstanding, therefore, your somewhat severe criticism upon my propositions, I am inclined to think them reasonable. When I spoke of the Court being in the right, and Mr. Thorogood having acted wrong, I of course used the terms as being legally, not morally so. By refusing to pay the rate, I repeat my former assertion, that Mr. Thorogood commenced the battle ; and he did wrong in adopting an erroneous course, legal and politic. That if he could be got out of it by his solicitor or friends, he might, if he chose, renew the contest, and carry it on with less cost and more success. As to waiting until "a persecuting party confesses what is wrong and does what is right,' the notion is really romantic. Such confession will never be made until human nature, has changed its constitution. The simple fact of persecution implies the absence of that candour and sense of the rights of others which alone is consistent with confession of error, and adoption of justice and charity in conduct. I almost despair of doing &ny service to Mr. Thoro good in the way of releasing him from his cruel and atrocious imprisonment, for such I view it, let the blame rest with lawyers or churchmen or legislators, or be divided amongst them in equal or unequal portions, and I shall therefore send him 20/. to make him com fortable as tar as may be at present, and will take the first moment I can:find to see you on the subject. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Mr. H. Ashurst. * * 41t JOHN THOROGOOD, TO * 4 Chelmsford Gaol, May 18, 1840. regret that you disapprove of Mr. Ashurst's having forwarded to me your letter, because it appears to me that without an authority from me, and in ignoronce of my sentiments upon the many im po total observations and suggestion s it contains, it would rtant been inconsistent and improper in him tohave have ed it. I am also sorry that his answer, containing my real sentiments, has failed to produce any alteration in your opinions, I assure you, Sir, that I refused to pay the Church rate from a thorough conviction, not hastily arrived at, that it was a most unjust and unchristian impost. I had not the vanity to suppose that any humble efforts of mine would cause a repeal of the law, or reach the hearts of those who appear to glory in their shame. I did hope from a declaration of the Ministers, that another Session would have signed the doom of this iniquitous instrument of unchristian mis rule. I had refused to pay the rate for three years, previous to the entertainment of this hope, and I only followed up my purpose by remaining consistent. I beg most respectfully, therefore, to repeat to you a part of my instructions to Mr. Ashurst, because my lan guage does net appear to me to have made that im pression which I intended and hoped it would. " I love truth better than expediency." " I never meant to pay the rate." " I had made up my mind to suffer the penalty of my refusal, to be robbed or slowly murdered at the option of my Christian persecutors." " I acted upon principle ; and will endeavour to do so, let the consequences of my imprisonment be what they may. Let my persecutors look to that. I will never pay the rate or costs." And I must here add, that I never will compromise my principles directly or indirectly, by sanctioning in another that which I would not do myself. I made no mistake. I did not seek the Ecclesiasti cal Courts. 1 was cited there by the Churchwardens, or rather by the acting one, T. M. Gepp, who is an attorney. I did not appear, and lam in prison. This is I suppose both technical and legal, but it appears to me to be a paltry pettifogging quibble. If I had not been proceeded against by the Churchwardens for the ss. 6d. Church-rate, pray, Sir, how should have got here Why should I have volunteered to come into col lision and warfare with one of the most inquisitoria Courts in Christendom Although it will be impossible for use at present to derive any benefit from the information, yet I shall feel very grateful for any instruction you can give me, for the benefit of others, as to the way in which a warfare against Chur c h- ra t es may b e urge d upon a more judi cious system. if I accept the terais:you propose I gain my liberty, at the expense of every moral and religious feeling, to recommence the same course of refusal, and to submit anew to the same course of persecution. How could that benefit the cause I have at heart ? How could I expect sympathy for having be come a renegade ? I believe with you, Sir, that the Church has the power to liberate me to-morrow. In that case what becomes of my contempt of Court? You must pardon me for differing with you, but the general belief of all straightforward, unsophistocated and unbiassed men appears to be that I have been im prisoned sixteen months for the non-payment of ss. (id. Church-rate. Any other opinion, however high its legal source may be, is too refined to be received by honest-hearted Englishmen as truth. I beg to acknow ledge the receipt of twenty pounds, I accept it as freely as it was offered ; it would have been churlish to have done otherwise, and I shall appropriate it to procure my legal discharge. and although I cannot act upon your suggestion and differ in opinion, lam truly grateful for your sympathy. I have the honour to remain, your's respectfully, J. THOROGOOJ. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR MAY. --....---- From the commencement until quite the middle of this month, the weather, in all parts of England, was, even the time of year considered, unusually fine, conse quently very propitious to the growing crops, but more particularly those of wheat, barley, and oats, the whole of which exhibited, during that period, a very marked, and almost unprecedented improvement, especially on strong soils; still, however, the plants were observed to throw out a large number of strong layers, and to make a steady progression towards maturity. Subsequently to the period last abovernentioned, the wind, which had been previously blowing from the southward and westward, veered round to the north and north-east, from which points of the compass several strong and cold gales were experienced, the influence of which considerably retarded the progress of the young corn, as well indead as of vegetation in general. The fine showers of rain which have fallen in most quarters since about the 2.2 d, aided by a more genial atmosphere, have had a most gratifying effect upon the productions of the soil, 'cost of which are quite as forward as at the corresponding period of many preceding seasons ; whilst there is every prospect of the forthcoming produce of grain being good, and, should no serious atmospheric interruptions be experienced, of :superior quality. Both beans and peas appear, by the numerous accounts which have come to hand , to have gone on favourably, whilst they are well represented by our provincial correspondents. The great scarcity of pasture herbage, caused by the absence of sufficient moisture in the months early past, has proved of serious import to our graziers and others who have fatted stock for the principal markets in the kingdom, most of which have been compelled to resort to their available stocks of dry pabulum ; hence an ad vance of nearly 1/. per ton has taken place in the value of hay in the midland and northern districts, but we are happy to state that no further enhancement in the cur rencies i s expected for the present, as also that the so l ong complain e d of epidemic amongst beasts and sheep appears to be rapidly subsiding, owing in a great mea sure to the many effectual remedies resorted to in order to check its virulence, which a short time since was wholly unparalleled in the memory of the oldest person living, the losses sustained having created the greatest anxiety in the minds both of the buyers and sellers, many of the latter having declared that their out-goings have greatly exceeded their incomes during the last three months. Throughout Ireland and Scotland copiou s showers of rain have fallen of late, which have greatly benefited the various productions. Wheat and oats are well re presented ; but barley is looking somewhat sickly. Good wheat and barley, though in fai r suppl y , h ave commanded a steady sale, and the prices have been well maintained, hut in other grain a limited amount of busi ness has been passing.—Farmers Magazine. SULPHUR.—Mr. English, the Editor of the Mining Journal, has submitted a petition to the House of Commons, in which he states that it has been lately ascertained that the mundic, and some of the inferior ores, produced by th e English and Irish mines, are available for the manufacture of sulphur ; and that if a duty—we suppose he means a prohibitory duty —were imposed on foreign sulphur, an annual demand would arise for more than 120,000 tons of such inferior ores which now remain unwerked or are thrown away as useless. `II.E SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1840. THE ANTI-SLAVERY MEETING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. 16, Pall Mall, June 4, 1840. SIR,—My intention has been called to the statement I in your paper, that, at the conclusion of the meeting in Exeter Hall, when I rose to speak," Sir T. Acland and Sir R. Inglis ordered the organ to play." It is a pure mistake. I did not rise to speak, I rose to go away. Notwithstanding the many and general calls made on me to speak during the business, I declined to come forward, as the Chairman did not accede to the call ; and as, whilst there was anything to be done, 1 would not speak without the assent of the Chairman, I assuredly had no notion of " privateering after the war" by speaking after the business was concluded. The ordering the organ to play up, and thus " bothering". the crowd that remained, was therefore quite a gra tuitous offence against the meeting rather than against me. At all events I can afford to laugh at my share of the insult. " As I am on my legs," as we say, " allow me to add, that my object in going to the meeting was to tes tify, by my presence, and my ready co-operation (if re quired), my participation in (what at least appeared to be) a great movement in favour of humanity and reli gion. Whatever of partisan trick or dexterity was in it does not affect me, who was no p a rty t o e ith er t r i c k or dexterity, b u t r a th er a victim for so much to both. I attended also, to testify by my presence my un feigned respect for the much-esteemed consort of our illustrious Queen, on this, the first occasion of his pub licly countenancing what he deemed to be a pure work of unmixed benevolence. It is painful to think that such an occasion should have been chosen to exhibit the paltry underworking of either national, or religious, or (what would be infinitely more degrading than either) PERSONAL malignity. Ido not—indeed, Ido not—think it was well to treat Prince Albert in such a manner as to make him appear, although most uncon sciously, a party to such culpable feelings. I also attended the meeting, that Ireland might, in the presence of the illustrious Prince, be represented, at least by silent acquiescence, in the great work of annihilating slavery. I still think the voice of Ireland ought not to have been excluded from such a meeting. If I were not deemed a suitable advocate, some other, and a better, Irish advocate might easily have been selected. But Ido say it was an occasion on which Ireland ought to have been represented, and her voice heard. The accents of that voice might be rude and uncouth, but her heart would have been upon her tongue, and there would have been no hypocrisy in the ardour of her aspirations in the cause of liberty and religion. I therefore insist, on behalf of my despised, but, blessed be God! still undegraded country, that she has been wrongfully despoiled of her share in a glorious struggle. I proudly say that the anti-slavery cause is deeply indebted to Ireland. When that cause was first introduced by the venera ble Clarkson, and afterwards taken up by the venerated Wilberforce, they made no way in Parliament—that is, they were in continual minorities, until after the Whigs came into office, in 1806 ; when the majority in favour of the abolition of the slave trade was literally Irish, all the Irish in the House having voted for it. From that period until after the restoration of the Whigs to, power, in 1830, the emancipation of the nee groes stood still. It was opposed by every grade of Tory Administration. It was after that year that the emancipation of the negroes was carried on, and on that occasion all the Irish Members, no matter of what re ligious or political opinions, voted for the measure. I do, therefore, ;repeat that Ireland was treated un gratefully and insultingly, when she was excluded from her just participation in this effort of humanity. Truly we had as good a right to be heard as even your Right Rev. Prelates, who never, I believe, voted for the negro emancipation ; or as Sir Robert Peel, who, I am con vinced, never voted for it, but on the contrary, belonged for more than 20 years to a party, and a pasty in power, that constantly opposed the striking off the negro's fetters, and would not even take the lash from the back of the negro female ! We do live in a strange world, in which benevolence and hypocrisy, tuft-hunting and ingratitude, mix so well together that the anti-slavery palate cannot distinguish the ingredients one from the other; but swallows the whole dose with heaven-turned eyes and earthly alacrity —" of the earth, earthly." In your paper of this day, a writer puts the question as if it stood thus—whether, for the sake of hearing one particular man speak, the boldest and most enlarged philanthropic measure that was ever propounded is to be sacrificed? This is not the right way of putting the question. The question is, whether so great, so sacred, so awful a cause can be safe in the hands of men, who, however high their titles and their dignities, cannot perceive how low, how grovelling—how, in short, un genial to such a cause, must be the paltry littleness of sectarian, or national, or personal malignity. Are the managers fit to manage such a cause, when we find them playing off the dexterity of exhibiting to the illus trious Prince who filled the chair the opposition would be Premier—in the new character—a first appearance in the character of friend to the African race, and of leader in the cause of pure benevolence to coloured man ? Fie upon it ! oh, fie ! It smells rank, and gives to the celestial glow of charity the dark hue of worldly policy and political craft. For my poor part, I can only say, that the more so great a cause is mismanaged, the more do I feel it in cumbent on me to use all my humble exertions to dis embarrass it from its mistaken, misguided, and misguid ing managers, and to give it a fair impetus before the honest and single-hearted portion of the British and Irish community. I bless God that there is still an other Anti-Slavery Society in existence, in which the purest motives and most untiring zeal ornament and strengthen the holy cause of universal emancipation. As a selected delegate of their really important conven tion, I trust that even I—scanty as my abilities may be —shall be found not a useless servant in the work of pure and permanent philanthropy. 1 cannot conclude without asking whethcr, in the dialect of Exet er H a ll, th e E ng li s h o f " Honestus " be not " Knave ? " It seems like it ; but it may not he so. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your faithful servant, DANIEL O'CONNELL. SUMMARY OF MARSHAL VAL LEE'S REPORT OF THE LATE CAMPAIGN IN AFRICA. _ The Mot,iiicur, arisie4 o f T ues d ay n i g h t h as at length published Marshal Vallee's report of the cam paign in Africa, which occupies nearly ten columns. The Marshal started from Blidah with a force of 9,000 strong on the 25th of April, and his first engagement was that of Oued Jer, which took place on the after noon of the 27th, in which he lost six killed and thirty wounded. On the 29th the army left the camp of Af roun early, but a body of 6,000 or 7,000 horsemen being perceived ahead of the column, the Marshal or dered an attack to be made, which was attended with no successful result, and the troops encamped for the night at Fum Oued Jer. This somewhat ill-combined maneeuvre was attended with a loss of fifteen wounded. On the night of the 29th, the Marshal having received a telegraphic despatch via Algiers, informing him that Cherchell had been attacked, and being aware that Abd-el-Kader had concentrated all his forces at the Teniah de Mouzaiah, and fortified the pass, conferred with the Duke of Orleans, and determined on attacking the latter place, at the same time availing himself of part of the troops at Oran, which were momentarily useless. An action here ensued between the corps under the command of the Duke of Orleans and General de Rumigny, against the Arabs, in which the former sustained a loss of three killed and fifteen wounded. The army encamped that night on the Bon Roumi, on the Ist of May proceeded to move on the Chiffa, and on the 2d occupied the Haouch, or Farm of Mouzaia. This post was fortified on the 3d, and the following day the Marshal went to the Chiffa, leaving a battalion and the Sappers in the camp. The Arabs attacked the column, but the French only experienced a loss of five wounded. On the sth, a convoy of stores having arrived from Blidah, the Marshal returned to the Haouch Mouzaia ; on the 6th the fortifications were completed ; and on the 7th, the stores having been left in that camp, the Mar shal advanced upon the Borji cl Arba. On the Bth the army moved towards Cherchell, and at the passage of the Oued Nador the rear guard was attacked by the Arab cavalry, and continued its route to the Oued el Hachem. The Kabyles showed themselves in strong numbers on the heights of the left of that river, and were forthwith attacked both on the right and left. The body of El Lierkani, cousin to the Kalifa of Medeah, is stated to have been recognised among the twenty-six corpses found on the field. Whilst the advanced and rear-guards were harassed and attacked, the whole of Abd-el-Kader's cavalry was fallen in with in the valley of the Oued el Hachem. The Marshal estimates his loss during the action of this day at fifty-two men hors de combat, and that of the Kabyles at 200. On the 9th the Marshal entered Cherchell, and was no doubt surprised on being informed by the Commandant that the place had been vigorously attacked by the Arabs for six days, by which the garrison had sustained a loss of fifty men killed. (This is certainly a remarkable coincidence, and questionable on all sides.) On the 10th the army being revictualled, and having received two thousand fresh troops from Oran, set out from the camp of Ouad Bellal, near Cherchell. The Kabyles commenced an attack, and the fighting continued until the army had passed the Oued al Nador. The loss on this occasion amounted to fifty men wounded. At five in the evening the army reached the camp of the Borji el Arba. On the 11th the army set out for the Haouch el, Mouzaia, and the Marshal issued imme diate orders for attacking the Col on the 12th, and en which day the great affair took place. The details are so very Lengthy that it would occupy too much space were we even to give but a brief summary. It will be sufficient to state that it was not till seven in the evening that the army succeeded in taking up its position upon the Col itself; continuing to occupy the peak and the ridges of Mouzaia. This ac tion was attended with considerable loss, two hundrei men being put hors de combat, besides numbers being killed and wounded, of which no estimate is given in the despatch. On the 16th the Duke oft Orleans took up a position in the Olive Wood, and at five in the evening the whole of the expeditionary army was encamped therein. At six in the morning of the 17th the first division moved on, and at eleven o'clock the army was before the town of Medeah, which the Arabs abandoned after a few shots had been fired. The French forth with took possession of Medeah. On the 20th May the expedition quitted Medeah, the Prince's division forming the vanguard, Abd-el-Kader having taken up a position on the road to Miliana. Then follows the last action, which was directed by Abd-el-Kader, and termi nated by the Arabs retreating to the Olive Wood. The French lost in the latter 40 killed and 212 wounded. Nothing can be more vague than the indefinite man ner in which Marshal Vallee hints at the loss which the French army has sustained in this campaign. Accord. ing to the despatch, however, we are enabled to give the following statement, which we truly believe to be very far short of the truth : Number of killed in the various actions ....... . 149 wounded 342 hors de combat Total 743 The campaign has been a complete failure, Marshal Vallee himself admitting the necessity of a future expc• di tion.

The yachting season may now be said to be fairly com menced ; the Signalman may be seen at his post, and everything looks like order and regularity. The good effects of the Southampton Railway arc felt here ; steamers run from Southampton to Cowes seven times a-day, bringing an immense number of passengers, many of whom run down from town, see Southampton and Cowes, make the circuit of the Isle of Wight, pro ceed to Portsmouth, thence back to London, and all in a couple of days. Others take lodgings here for a week or so ; they are altogether a new description of visitors, but we hear that Mr. Moore has this week let several of the larger houses. The town is much fuller than ever before known so early in the season. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

General Register-office, June 4, 184 0 . 1838 as ;in populigiand that, if the HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, EDINBURGH-JUNE 1. TRIAL FOR MURDER. ' George Johnston, was brought to the bar, indicted ' for having murdered his wife, on the Bth of April last, ' at a place called Myreside, on the turnpike road lead ing from Banff to Huntly, in the parish of Marnoch and county of Banff. On the usual question from the Court—" George Johnston, what do you say, are you guilty or not guilty ?" he replied—" I canna deny I struck her, but with no weapon vvhatevee." This was equivalent to a plea of not guilty. George Lindsay examined—Said he was travelling in Banffshire in April last ; and Johnston and his wife travelled in company with him. On the day that Johnston's wife met her death they had been at Turriff, which they had left in the morning. They were tra velling to Foggyloan, which is sometimes called Aber chirder, which they reached in the afternoon, and re mained till about eight o'clock. Liquor was got there, and Johnston, his wife, and witness's brother, were all the worse of drink. Johnston's wife and witness's brother were most affected with liquor. Remembers passing a plantation, at which time Johnston's wife was riding on his horse. She came off the horse, and went up the side of the small plantation. Johnston came and took hold of the horse's bridle, called to his wife, and she came back meeting him. On her coming back, he took hold of her and knocked her down by a blow of his fist. Witness's brother at this time was lying on a piece of ploughed land off the road, and Mary M‘Fie, his wife, was near him. These two were a few paces in advance of Johnston and his wife. Be fore Johnston's wife came back, she said, " Oh, dear, I am coming back ; I'll not go away." The prisoner was then very close on her ; and he took hold of her after that. She was at the side of the planting and between two ditches, when he laid hold of her. He then took her to the side of the road, and knocked her down—two or three yards from where he laid hold of her. The prisoner spoke to his wife in an angry way. W hen knocked down, she fell on the side of the road ; he then kicked her with his feet two or three times. She cried out murder. He then kicked her about the head. After kicking her, lie tore the whole of her clothes, except the shift. He dragged her body, " rugged her hair," and threw her into the ditch by the road side. After she was in the ditch he went and pulled, or broke off, a stick from the hedge. Saw him lift the stick, as if to strike, but did not see him strike, calling her to rise—she being then in the ditch. Shown a crooked piece of hazel, which witness identified. Pointed out to the fiscal the spot where Johnston's wife was lying, and the tree from whence the branch had been broken. Never heard the prisoner's wife speak after he saw the stick uplifted. Mary M'Fie went between Johnston and his wife when the latter was on the road, and the pri soner struck M'Fie in the eye, and kicked her. Pri soner afterwards lifted his wife out of the ditch, and laid her on a bank. She was then motionless and like death. This was shortly after the prisoner had the stick lifted. Mary A/Tie came again with water, and I put it into her ow n mout h an d then i nto that of the prisoner's wife, to see if she had any breath, but she was dead. Prisoner and witness then went to the nearest house for assistance, but the people did not open the door, saying they had no " way for us." Witness and the prisoner's eldest daughter then went to a black smith's house, who opened his door, got a light, and came back to the place where Helen Newlands was lying, and she was pronounced to be dead. There was a wound on her right brow. A doctor was sent for, and, on his coming, the prisoner held up his hands and said, " Between God and man, it is me that did it." Johns ston was now much distressed, and crying. There had been a quarrel between the prisoner and his wife just on leaving Aberchirder. He then struck her on the head with a small rod. This was betwixt six and seven ; she died between eight and nine. The place where she died might be a mile and a quarter from Aberchirder. In the course of the cross-examination, the witness said that prisoner, on seeing his wife dead, cried " Oh! Nelly New lands, you and I have travelled many miles together, but we will never travel more." He was much distressed. (On this the prisoner shed tears.) Prisoner got water, washed his wife's face, and poured water OD it. He put his coat and bonnet under her head, and remained by her till taken into custody about midnight. Witness had travelled about ten days with Johnston and his wife, and, till that day, they lived com fortably together. By Lord - MoNcuiEFF—From the time the wife came off the horse till she was lying dead, might be a quar ter of an hour. By a Juryman—Witness was just at the prisoner's back, and must have seen had he struck her with a stick from the hedge. The prisoner assisted in remov ing the body to a m ill i n t h e v i c i n i ty. Mr. Leslie, Procurator-fiscal of Banff; Mary M'Fie, sister-in-law to George Lindsay ; and Mr. Mackay, schoolmaster at Aberchirder, were examined, and cor roborated the first witness's evidence. Two medical men had examined the body, and said the wound on the head might have been inflicted by the stick, but not by a fist. Johnston stated himself to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years of age, a native of Allness in Ross shire, and had been married these ten years. Has three children. His account of the affray did not ma terially differ from that of the boy Lindsay, but he de nied using any stick. The Jury were addressed by the SOLICITOR-GENE RAL for the prosecution, and Mr. JAMES MONCRIEFF for the prisoner, who contended that the crime only amounted, at the very most, to culpable homicide. The LORD JUSTICE-CLERK, in charging the Jury, was of opinion that the evidence established a case of murder. The Jury, however, took the more lenient view, and round the prisoner guilty of culpable homicide. He was sentenced to transportation for life. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A man named Campbell, who was in the employ. went of Mr. John Dixon, of No. 77, Aldermanbury, silk-mercer, as agent, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having embezzled considerable sums of money belonging to his employer. The pri soner had been remanded from a former day, when he was considered to be under too much excitement, from the use of strong liquors, to undergo examination. Mr. Dixon stated that the prisoner had a commission for selling goods for the house. On the 27th of Feb ruary, .53 yards of satin were given to him to sell ; and he, on his return to the house, stated that he had sold the articles to Messrs. Shoolbred and Cook, and it was to go on credit to a monthly account. On the 28th of February, he received 81 yards of pearl satin, and 19i yards of pink satin, and he stated that he sold them to the same house, under similar circumstances. Wit ness further stated that the prisoner received, on the 10th March, 44 yards of coloured satin ; on the 13th of March, 79 yards of white satin ; on the 20th of March, 79 yards of lavender satin : on the 27th of March, 57 yards of black satin ; on the 2d of April, 20 yards of drab satin ;on the 24th April, 23 yards of pink satin, and 841 yards of white satin. All these he stated he had left upon credit with Messrs.. Shoolbred and Cook, in Tottenham-court-road ; but witness ascertained that they had been paid for to the prisoner in cash. There were several other goods which the prisoner had sold to other houses, and for which he had been paid, al though he placed then to the credit of the different Concerns. Mr. James Shoolbred stated that the prisoner had received cash for all the goods. A policeman stated, that, upon apprehending, he found irs the pocket of the prisoner a pocket-book - with invoices and duplicates, which proved to refer to some of the property of Mr. Dixon. The prisoner said to witness, upon being asked what he had done with the property, that be was a fool, and that if Mr. Dixon would make the matter a debt, he would pay ; but, if not, he must take his chance. The prisoner was remanded. WORSHIP-STREET. THE KNlFE.—Samuel Hawkes a journeyman um brella maker, living in Crooked Billet-court, Shoreditch, was charged before Mr. Maltby with having made a determined attempt Co murder his wife with a clasp knife. Martha Hawkes, the prosecutrix, stated that she had been married to the prisoner about eighteen months, and had suffered much from the effects of his violent temper and his drunken and dissipated habits. At ten o'clock on the preceding night she went to bed without waiting the arrival of the prisoner, whose irregular habits ren dered it doubtful when he would return ; but at about twelve o'clock she heard the sound of footsteps upon the stairs, immediately after which the room door was opened, and the prisoner entered and ztealthily advanced towards the bed. On reaching it he leant over her and gave her hair a slight twitch, apparently to ascertain if she was asleep, which she pretended to be as she dreaded some violence, but on casting a glance upwards she saw his right hand, in which he grasped a knife, uplifted over her head. She started aside as the blow was descending, and the knife lodged in the pillow, where her head had just rested. She spranr , out of bed screaming for as sistance, and after, snatching up the knife, she ran into, the street and placed herself under the protection of a policeman. The policeman was then examined, and the knife and pillow were produced, when Mr. MALTBY said that thote could be no doubt of hi s guilty purpose, and he should remand him until Wed nesday next, wlren in all probability he would be com mitted for trial.
