They appear to come from rather diverse sources. The passengers who arrived by the Colombo bad a strong opinion that the city had . been taken. It is now known that Gen. BARNARD is not the man to delay an hour longer than is abso lutely necessary in a matter on which everything depends, He has, it appears, about 4,000 Euro peans, and 1,000 natives under his command, and was busy on the 14th of June in constructing batteries at about five hundred yards from the wall of the ; "Y. Though, according to a corre spondent in a contemporary yesterday, he ought to hare 15,000 or 2 0,000 men, he may yet have chosen the tactics by which CLr and his sue. cessors accomplished so much in India, and relied on English courage against any odds on the side of Asiatics. It is to be remembered, however, that those Asiatics have been train e d by us. They have all that we have, except our e nergy and courage. Comparing places and dates, a letter published first in the Liverpool Albion on Monday, written from the cantonments, a mile and half before Delhi, and dated the 14th of June, tells U 3 that " We must take Delhi before many days are over, and then there 'will be a turn in the state 0! aftairs." Another letter from Aboo, two or three hundred miles south west of Delhi, and nearer, therefore, to Bombay, dated the 19th June, in forms us that "a breach had been made in tin wall of Delhi, and that the rebels are panic stricken." According to the letter of the 14th, therefore, it was expected the town would be t a k en i n a few days, while that of the 19th ( hough we cannot be sure of the state of the com- rEE SUN, inuuications between Delhi and Aboo) informs us that the wall was breached, and the mutineers expecting the attack. The reference to the muti neers would make it appear as if natives had con veyed the intelligence to Aboo. Again, we have a letter from Benares, also dated the 19th of June, which the writer, a highly respectable missionary, had opened to state that intelligence had just reached Benares from Indore (which is about 600 miles from Benares and 300 from Bombay) that the " rebels had been defeated and the city re-captured." The news had come "by telegraph." This looks as if the communications were pretty well open between Benares and Bombay, and as far west as Rajpoo tana. It is well known how quickly Asiatics, like the ancient Gauls, can carry intelligence through vast districts in an incredibly short time ; hence the Indian Bazaar reports of the capture of Delhi, connected with that by the letters, renders it far from improbable. The fearful atrocities perpetrated by the Indian mutineers, Lot only on their officers, but on helpless women and innocent children, demand the most complete and speedy retribution. The blood of our brethren, so wantonly and cruelly shed, cries from the earth for justice on their murderers. In some few cases feelings of gratitude were displayed towards those who had exhibited kindness to the Hindoos, but this was but the exception to the gene ral rule. The sanguinary miscreants ordinarily acted with the most fiendish and heart-rending barbarity towards their unfortunate victims. We can scarcely allude to the deplorable and revolting details. Suffice it to say, that, to ladies particu larly, speedy death would have been accounted mercy. They were treated in the most horrible manner in the presence of husbands, parents, and children, who were prevented from aiding them in the slightest degree; they witnessed those nearest and dearest to them murdered in cold blood, and only were suffered to live until every possible ignominy had been heaped upon them. Their intense sufferings were made the sport of the malevolent and licentious scoundrels into whose hands they had fallen. We believe that a parallel cannot be found to scenes such as those already narrated, and it is more than probable that we have not as yet heard the worst. Many victims have fallen, whose dreadful fates will never be detailed, save by the confession of the cowardly assassins who caused their deaths. Under such circumstances there can be no tem porising or compromise with the insurgents. Their guilt is of too deep a dye, too infamous to listen to any suggestions of mercy. Of course, as in all such cases, there are gradations in crime, and we shall be only happy to listen tl any mitigating circumstances in favour of those who have lent aid or assistance to English fugitives. But we fe4 6 that the number of those who can truly put forward such a plea is very limited. A vast majority have stained them selves with the highest possible degree of guilt. For these miscreants there can be no sympathy, however terrible may be the punishment they have so richly merited. Those who have wit nessed the sufferings of their countrymen and countrywomen will ibfliet exemplary vengeance on their infamous assassins. What renders the matter worse, is that the mutineers had long been treated with the greatest possible indulgence. Their scruples were respected. They were petted, and their condition made the envy of the surrounding population. And yet these were the very men to massacre their officers, and, far worse t'lan all, to inaisi.lr3 thei r wives and children, and indeed every English woman or child who fell into their hands I They set aside every consideration of humanity, and, if a host of demons had been let loose on earth, they could scarcely have exceeded the atro cities perpetrated by these ruffian Sepoys. The rumours respeAing the alleged fall of Delhi have assumed a greater degree of consistence, and there is some reason to hope that its capture had been effected. The statement WAS that more than 7,000 of the rebel Sepoys had fallen, while the English loss was also very considerable. But even if the accuracy of the report had been verified beyond the possibility of doubt, that would not justify the slightest relaxation of exertion on olr part. Our victory must be complete and decisive —.the retribution terrible—or we shall have all the work to do over again. After exemplary punishment it will then be our duty to trace out the causes of the outbreak. We believe that it will be found in a great degree to have been tormented by Russian intrigues. The Per sian war was also kindled in the like manner. All the arrows have probably been drawn from the same quiver ! The Sepoys were influenced and taught to believe the destinies of the Anglo-In dian Empire rested in their hands. Some of the miseralsle puppets were likewise induced to sup pose that they could reclaim the thrones forfeited by their own miscondu(S. It is, however, satis factory to know that the vast majority of the chiefs and peoples remained faithful. It has been a military outbreak, in which the King of DELHI, the ex-King of OUDE, and possibly the Rajah of MOORESHABAD have participated. Their conduct will be strictly investigated, and if their complicity be clearly established, nothing shall save them from the stringent penalties they have so richly deserved. S:r THOMAS MARYON WILSON is now once more before Parliament, endeavouring to accom plish his private objects by means of a public act. He hai certainly exhibited indefatigable zeal and energy—a degree of perseverance worthy of a better cause. But, for all that, we cannot consent to surrender Hampstead Heath to the hands of builders and bricklayers, or give up the benefits provided for the metropolitan community by the will under which he himself derived his title to the estate. Sir THOMAS made repeated applications for a private bill, but was foiled on every occasion. And why ? Simply because the learned judges, who took a merely legal view of the stioject, in variably reported against him. Their judgment was not founded on matters of public policy or expediency, but of absolute right. They con sidered the wishes of the testator, which were, that so long as he had the power to create a bind ing entail the Heath should not be built on. So far as lay in his power he dedicated it to the public use, and the benefit of the bequest should not be lightly surrendered. _ . An ordinary person would have yielded to these repeated defeats. But Sir THOMAS was, to use the language in of the fancy, "a very glutton in punishment." He did not know when he was beaten, and returned to the charge again and again. New bills were brought forward, but with trifling variations. The opinion of the judges were sought in every shape, and it was nog until the faintest possibility of private legislation was removed that the general Wbililch was practi was brought in 9 accomplish his object, h „,11y a public enactment for the private relief of air THOMAS MARYON WILSON. That act g ave power to the Court of Chancery to grant leasing and selling powers to tenants for life, where previou4y au appeal to the Legislature LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1857 was indispensable. We do not say anything against the provisions of that bill, which, under ordinary circumstances, was a very proper one. But virtually it was framed to suit Sir T. M. WILSON'S purposes, and to enable him to accom plish in one shape what had been deliberately re jected in another. It could not be tolerated that a single Vice-Chancellor, sitting with closed doors, should overrule the deliberate opinion of Parliament, acting on the advice of all the Judges of the superior Courts of Common Law. A clause was accordingly introduced, providing that the power should not exist in any case where there had been a previous appeal to Parliament rejected on its merits. This was struck out in the Lords, but fortunately the Commons were firm, and it was re-inserted before the bill received the Royal assent. This was but last year, but already the indefa tigable Sir THOMAS has a new- public bill to re peal that well-considered provision, and for this he, yesterday, succeeded in obta;ning a second reading by a majority of 18. We trust that the popular representatives will not so far stultify themselves as to permit its passing. The season is clearly too far advanced for such a proceeding. We should gladly see a final arrange ment entered into by which "one of the lungs of London" should be permanently retained. It is said that negotiations are going on with the Me tropolitan Board of Works for that purpose ; but should . the present bill be carried these negotia tions will be brought to a summary conclusion, and every hope of satisfactory arrangement knocked on the head. In fact, it was distinctly and une quivocally avowed, on the part of Sir THOMAS, that the bill was brought in because there was nopul.‘lic body ready to purchase the property. He wishes to be enabled to put on the screw, and will most assuredly do so should the present act unfortu nately pass. We hope better things, however, of the present Parliament, and although 77 persons were yesterday found willing to vote for the second reading, we believe that it will be defeated by an overwhelming majority, when its true intent and meaning are thoroughly understood and ap preciated.

PORTS kOUTH, WEDNESDAY. The Charity steam transport, No. 1, Captain Charles H. Sivell, arrived at Spithead this day at noon from the above colony, which she left on the 17th of June. . . -.- There is no news of interest in the papers brought by the Charity. Two severe storms had occurred in Table Bay, which did much damage to the ship ping, but no lives were lost. The following is abridged from the summary of the Cape Argus of June 13 : " Parliament has now been sitting 69 days, and a great many of the members, especially of the Eastern Province, have left. Up to this time there has been but one measure carried that can be considered of any great importance, and that is the Immigration Bill. The Harbour of Refuge Bill is not yet carried through the Council. The bill introduced by hie Excellency pro posed that 200,000/. should be voted for immigration, to be spent during a period of five years, but a majority of the House of Assembly refused to vote so large a sum, but were unanimous in voting 50,000/ , to be spent in two years, and if the ordinary revenue is insufficient to meet this, then, and not else, money for the purpose is to be raised upon debentures, bearing interest at 6 per cent. Agents are to be employed from this colony, and in England, to carry out the provisions of the act. " The Harbour of Refuge Bill was next in importance to the subject of immigration. The vessels that now lie wrecked upon oar beaches—the damaged cargoes and risk of huMan life, still show whether or not we stand in need of a harbour of refuge in Table Bay. Tile co.n prehensive plan prepared by Captain James Vetch, R.E„ F.R.S., Engineer to the Admiralty in England, and approved by tne Admiralty, deservedly,' as set forth in the met with universal approval in this colony.' The Aa,,enobly has resolved to accept the offer of her Majesty's Government, and to pay off the cost of the breakwater in sums of 25,0001. a-year ; but the Le gislative Council have not yet finished with the bill. We are now looking anxiously Imward to the commence ment of the work. When it is completed the Cape will occupy a very different' position. " The subject of railsayii has been much discussed out of doors, and the people of the Western Province and the press of the Western Province are both unanimously in favour of commencing a railway. Tile press of the Eastern Province declares that the people at the end of the colony are also in favour of having a railway in the Eastern Province, but the representatives of the Eastern Province tell a different tale, as may be seen from the evidenoe taken by the s elect committee of the House of Assembly. " Education is not likely to be advanced much by the Colonial Parliament for some time to come, although so much was promised by those who agitated in favour ofthe Constitution. Session after session passes over, yet nothing is done. The Colonial Secretary brought in a bill grounded on resolutions passed by the Parliament last ses• don ; but bitter sectarianism stifled it. The bill was groumuied upon the principle of grants in all, but it was suspected of being a concoction of the Bishop of Cape Town, whic'A was of course sufficient to provoke the op positinxi of everybody not of the bishop's way of thinking. "The Hone of Afoeinbly and the Legislative Council are upon the best of terms. They play at cross-purposes to a considerable extent. What .s done by one house i , undone in the other. Tneir lordships are likely to stand in the way of the Governor's frontier policy. The Governor wishes to destroy the power of tint Caffre cinefe, and is availing himself of the present half- , tarvt d state of the Caffrey to induce them to come and work in the colony. A bill was brought to the Assembly by his Excellency and passed by which Caffres who came into the colony might be hired under contract for three years. The Council struck out all the substantial portion of the bill, and sent it back mutilated to the Assembly ; the Assembly have sent back again a conciliatory or rather a supplicant message to their lordships, begging them not to persist in their so-called amendments. What is to become of it remains to be seen. There is little doing in the commercial world ; freights there are none to be had." TH ATE 4NTIC TELEGRA On Thursday morning at daybreak the Agamem non came to mooring in Queenstown Harbour at a distance of about a third of a mile from the United States' frigate Niagara. Before noon one end of each cable was carried to the opposite ship, and so joined up as to form a continuous length of 2,500 miles, both ends of which were on board the Agamemnon. One end was then connected with the apparatus for transmitting the electric current, and on a sensitive galvanometer being attachod to the other end the whole ctWe was t,sted from end to end, and found to be perfect. _ . _ As these operations had worn far int) the night, the arrangements for attaching the recording in struments to indicate signals were left to be corn plet,d in the morning. The amount of electric power developed at the further end, and exhibited by Mr. Whitehouse's magneto-electroineter, amounted to an attractive force of 25 grains. As three grains are a sufficient force to record inteli gible signals upon the receiving apparatus it will be perceived that a considerable surplus of electric power remains, a convincing proof, if any were needed, at once of the perfect integrity of thecable and no less of the careful adaptation of scioatffic means to the desired objec'. _ On resuming the operations on Friday morning it was found that all communication was cut off, and after under-running the poi tions of cable laid out between the two ships it was ascertained that one had been completely severed by entanglement with the mooring chains during the time the Aga memnon was swinging with the tide, and that the other portion was so injured from the same cause as to be unfit for use. During Friday the officers of the co'aipany were engaged in releasing the broken wires and te-con necting the conduct ers. On re-establishing communication between ship and ship the transmission of electric elegraph mes sages through the entire length o f 2,500 miles was immediately commenced, and proceed satisfactorily during the who'e of Saturday. In carrying this out each terminal station or end of the cable was separately connected with the e trth, as is usual in lines hid out in actual lengal, and the electrician noted that a considerable interval of time elapsed during the passage of the current, the amount of retardation being equal to nearly a second and thr, e-quarters upon each electrical wave or signal. Yet, notwithstanding this, it was found that three signals could be practically and intelli gibly transmitted in two seconds. This confirms the accuracy of the previous experiments made upon shorter circuits of wire, bywhich it had been demon strated that several waves of electric force can co exist in a long unbroken length of completely in sulated conducting wire, and yet reach their termi nal destination with sufficient intervals between them to record intelligibly the indications they are intended to convey. The battery employed by Mr. Whitehouse con sists of a voltaic series of 40 cells, the plates of which are formed alternately of zinc and platinised silver, each aLout nine inches square. The exciting fluid or medium is simply diluted. sulphuric acid, the troughs containing which are swung upon a gimballed frame, to prevent the fluid from being washed over the connexions between cell and cell by the motion of the ship. The force developed by this battery in its direct action is so great that a piece of iron three inches long and three-eighths of an inch in diameter can be entirely consumed in a few minutes by the heat developed on retaining the two poles of the battery simultaueously in contact with it. The battery - current thus generated is, however, only the primary agent in the act of telegraphing through the c able, and is solely used as a means of inducing, through the aid of tilectro-magnetic elec tricity, a current of the, suitable character for being transmitted through such long distancos. The elec tro-maguetic electricity actually einployed is ob tained from large induction coils, which are con structed in the following manner :—Around a hol low cylinder of soft iron nearly five feet long is wound with great regularity a length of sev, ral thou4and yards of thin copper wire, insulated with silk wrapped by means of machinery round every portion of the metal, and much less in di imet,r than the conductor c.inAittring the centre of the cable, to the end of which it is joined up, and of which it forms a continuous part when niquired fur Each layer of this insulated wire is covered with thin waxed paper previously to the application of the succeeding layer, and the whole, when com pleted, is surrounded with sheet gut , a percha ap plied so as to fit it equally on all sides. Over the intervening guta percha is then wound a shorter length of copper wire many times larger in diameter than the previous length of thin wire, but insulated in the same manner. The extremity of tHs latter wire is brought into connexion with the battery by means of a key used by the operator for the transmission of signals in su.•h a manner that not on'•y can the circuit bemade and broken at plesure, but that in s;gnall,ng a dis tant station by the simple process of raising and de• pressing the handle of this key the operator never sends two currents successively from the same pole of the battery, but transmits alternately negative and positive electricity. The following phenomena are developed in the apparatus taus described when set in motion. The currents generated in the voltaic series pass simply through the thick wire between pole and pole of the battery, and in their passage temporarily convert the hollow cylinder of iron into a powerful elects-magnet, the position of the poles of which may be reversed with each alterat; on In tit) direction of the current through the thick wire. The electro-magnet thus formed reacts upon the great length of thi❑ wire wound round the cylinder, inducing in it a current of electro-magnetic electri city posses,ed of an energy adequate to the length of cable it is required to pass through. It will be seen that the nature of tiiii secondary current may be varied at will by the employment of bateries differing in character (as may be found most suited to the occasion), attached to the thicker or primary wire of the coil ; and that further, as the current which passes into the cable is originally generated in a wire of only one-seventh the area of the main conductor, no ill effect can occur to the conductor, which might result if the battery itself were in direct connexion with it. Provision having been made in this manner for the through transmission of the electric curnnt, the adaptation of an instrument suitable to the in dication or recording of signals is simply a matter of mechanical ingenuity, and any of the sensitive indicating or recording instruments now in use may be employed for the purpose. The form of instrument at present used for de veloping signals by the Atlantic Telegraph Com pany is a modification of the well known marking instrument invented by Professor Morse. Mr. Brooking, Mr. Pickering, Mr. Croskie, Mr. Logie, Mr. Brett, director#, accompanied by Mr. Saward, the secretary of the Atlantic Telegraph Company; Mr. E. Bright, the secretary of the Bri tish and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company ; Dr. Palmer, of the United States frigate Niagara, and other gentlemen interested in the success of the undertaking, reached Killarney on Saturday nigh en route for Valentia. His Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, who intends to be present at the starting of the ex pedition from Valentia, arrived at the Railway Hotel, Killarney, this day (Monday), and, after partaking of an entertainment given to his lordship and the representatives of the Atlantic Telegraph Company by the directors of the Great Southern and Western Railway, proceeded immediately on his journey. He will remain the guest of the Knight of Kerry during the operation of attaching the shore end of the cable to the Irish coast. Mr. Job, lately an in fluential member of the Council of Newfoundland (in the absence of the Attorney-General of that province, who is unavoidably prevented from at- tending), was also present, and will await the com mencement of the great work. The British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Come pany are progressing very rapidly with the erection of an overground line of telegraph along the high way between Killarney and Valentia for the pur pose of connecting the existing telegraph system with the Atlantic cable at the latter place, by means of which, under an arrangement ent!red into be tween the magnetic and electric companies, the whale of the lines in the three kingdoms, 10,000 miles in extent, will be available for the rapid transmission of intelligence between Europe and the American continent. The line is already completed beyond Killorglin, where the Magnetic Company have established a temporary station. The entire through communication to Valentin, is expected to be completed by the middle of next week, when intelligence as to the progress made in the paying out of the cable will be daily received and sent forward by Mr. Saward, the secretary of the company, who will remain there with the staff of manipulators until the completion Of the under taking, VALENTIA, WEDNESDAY.

The most complete confi dence prevails as to the undertaking. IRELAND. DUBLIN, AUG. 5. THE MURDER OF MR. LITTLE. The commission was opened yesterday before the two Onief Justices, and—what happens in Dublin only on special occasions—the court was crowded the moment the doors were opened and long before the judges took their selts upon the bench. Two hours previously James Spollen was conveyed in a co vered car fro-n Richmond Bridewell to the yr is.on in Green-street, under an escort of for mounted policeman. Lord Chief Justice Lefroy charged the grand jury, and in the cour,e of a clear and axle address thus directed their attention to the bills about to be sent up to them in the Bruadstone murder case : "From what I have seen of the informations (said his lordship),_which it was my duty to look into, I have to tell you that this case is one in which you will be ca'led on to find a bill not upon the direct testimony of any body who has seen the transaction, which is charged to be a wilful murder, but by a chain of circumstantial evi dence—a chain oefacts—which will be presented to you as establishing by presumptive evidence the guilt of the prisoner. That sort of evidence, gentlemen, is not only proper, and legal, and allowable, but in some respects perhaps it may be considered as a firmer basis upon which to come to a conclusion than simply the direct evidence of a witness who has witnessed the fact. A wit ness may be deceived, or may err,or may desire to deceive, but a long train or chain of circumstances or facts, estab lished by the testimony of a number of witnesses, ail tending to furnish the same cone usion and to lead to the same ultimate inferences, must not only from the number of witnesses whose credit is committed, but also from the wider range and nature of the examina tion, give a greater opportunity of a full and ample in vestigation of the case, and of any defence that may arise in the face of the proceeding. You are placed under great difficulty, for, although this is a case of the nature I have mentioned, you will not have the benefit of hear- . ing the statement of counsel upon the circumstances by which the case is to be made out ; you will not have the means from the informations—for they are not to go up to you— of knowing what are the particulars of the case, or the order in whichyou should examine into these parti culars, and therefore it has occurred to me to make afew ' observations merely to the extent of suggesting to you the order in which it appears to me convenient for you to enter upon and pursue the investigation of this case. The fiat and most earnest observation I should make to you is, that you will divest your minds of everything that you may have heard or read respecting this charge. No evidence will be teudered to you which will not be legal and proper for you to receive, and if through inadver tence or any other cause evidence may have crept into the case from any former stage of it upon which any question could be raised, that evidence will not be ten dered to you. The course which, as it strikes rne, is proper for you to pursue is to begin by ascertaining, in the first instance, the condition of the case, en as to as certain whether the death of the deceased party was caused by violence, and the nature of the violence as tending to indicate by the assistance of competent judges on that point the nature of the weapons by which the violence was inflicted ; for in the progress of the case it may be of the utmost importance that you should be apprised beforehand that probable evidence of the nature of the weapon by which the crime was committed, .if tending more or less to bring the prisoner into connection with theee weapons,,ie one of the circumstances or matters of tact in the chain of circumstances roost material for your consideration. Having ascertained the cause of the death of the deceased, and the wanner of it, and the important matter of identification that I have alluded to, you will then; I think, properly proceed. to ascertain. the persons who last saw the deceased alive. They will, of course, be prodeced before you. They will give you an opportunity of fixing a point of time most material. And then, gentlemen, I think the next important po nt to which your attention should be directed is the ways of access to the room where the deceased was found, and the ways of escape from that room. That it is reasonable to expect may be a very important con sideration in the progress of the case. It will become very important with respect to the prisoner. It may appear to you (I am merely putting the case hypotheti celly, for you will take the evidence of the witnesses as it appears to yourselves) necessary to ascertain whether these were not means by which other persons—stran gers—may have approacacd to or may have escaped from that room, so as not to fix your attention on any one, and to say that you will exclude from your consideration the possibility of other ways of approach or escape. You will next direct your atten tion to the property that may be brought before you as having been found in or taken from the room at the time of the murder. The identification of the body will be one of the facts requiring your careful consideration, as will also be the circumstance under which it was found in a particular place, and everything relating to the con dition in which it was so found, as tending to bring it more or less in cannixima with the prisoner. You will confine too witnesses to the matters of fact. You will not receive from theca inferences or suspicions ; it will be for yourselves to draw the inferences from the facts that will be proved before you. There will also be pro duced to you weapons alleged to have been used in the , commission of the crime, and you will attentively con sider as material any evidence that may tend to bring them more or less in connexion with the prisoner. When you have ascertained, by satisfactory evidence, these various circumstances upon which you will found your inferences, it will be for you to say whether these circumstances, all taken together, do fur nish enough of proof in your minds satisfactorily to repel the presumption of innocence to which every pri soner is entitled. Tee law presumes every man to be innocent, and you must do all in this ease until the presumption is satisfactorily removed by a chain of evi dame repelling that presumption of innocence. But, if upon a consideration of all the facts and circumstances, your judgments and consciences are led to the convic tion of the guilt of the accused, you are not only allowed by law, but you are bound by your oaths, to find true bills. "At five minutes to 4 o'clock the city grant jury came into court, and the foreman announced that they had found a true bill against James Spollen for the murder of Mr. Little. "Spoiler' was immediately afterwards placed in the dock for the purpose of being formally arraigned. In stead of the working man's attire which he wore when undergoing the preliminary examination before the magistrate, he was dressed in a blue frock coat, dark rest and trousers, and altogether presented a very peat and clean appearance. He advanced rapidly to the bar of the dock, looked steadily towardi the bench for a short time, and then glanced somewhat hurriedly round that, section of the court which was in front of him, but did not, during the short time he remained in court, betray agy symptoms of uneasiness. ' The Clerk of the Crown then formally indicted him for having on the 31 of Novembtr, 1856, at the Broad stone, wilfully murdered George Samuel Little, and asked him if he were guilty or not I " The prisoner, in a low but perfectly audible voice, replied Not Guilty.' " Clerk of the Crown.—A re you ready for your trial ! " Prisoner.—Yea, Sir." After some discussion, it was arranged that the trial should commence at the sitting of the Court on Friday. • " Mr. Curran.—l have now to apply to your lordships that the sheriff may be aliowed to give us a copy of the panel. I understand there is a very large panel summoned. We have information that certain gentlemen expressed such opinions on the case as would be a ground for challenging them, and the object of the application is to facilitate the selection of a jury. " Mr. Corballis said there could be no objection• to allowing ail one acting for the prisoner to inspect the panel in 09 sheriff's office, but that it was an unusual application to ask to have a copy furnished. "The Chief Justice remarked that he did not see the difference between allowing a party to go into the office to get a copy for himself and furnishing it to him. "It was then directed by the 'Court that the parties representing the prisoner should have liberty to inspect the panel and take a copy of it. "The Right Hon. the Attorney-General entered the Court-house in undress while the grand juries were being sworn, and occupied a seat on the register's bench dur ing the charge of the Lord Chief Justice. The prisoner was then removed." EXTRAORDINARY DOUBLE CASE OF BIG-ANL—At the Wakefield petty sessions, on Monday, a man named Pease, a cottage and farm labourer at Horbury, near Wakefield, was charged with having neglected to pro vide for his wife, she thereby becoming chargeable to the township. of Horbury. Mr. Barrat, who appeared for the defendant, put the wife, Sarah Pease, under a sever, cross-examination, from which it appeared tbat 14 years ago she left her husband and went to America, taking aith her a considerable sum of money, wearing apparel, and other articles—in fact, she had stripped the man. Subsequently, the husband heating she was dead, mar ried again ; but soon afterwards he heard that she had written letters to Mem:is in England, in one of which (produced) she said she was married to a man in New York, named Rae, and signed herself " Sarah Rae." Nothing more was heard of her till a few days ago, when she presented herself at Pease's house in Horbury, and prefi rred her claim as his laeful wife. Both Pease and his second ,wife objected to recognise her claim, and shf subsequently threw herself on the parish. During the evidence she denied the authenticity of the letter pro duced ; but acknowledged, after great hesitation and I. barefaced attempt to evade the questions ofltbe attor ney, that she had lived with Raein New York, and ha had a child by him, but denied having been married t, him. The magistrate doubted the truth of her latter assertion, but said that, even supposing it was true, thi law said that if it were proved that the wife bad coal witted adultery, the husband was not liable to mai n . taiu her. According to her own acknowledg• meat, she had been living with the man Rae, a n d, cording to her letter, she bad been married to hint The case must therefore be dismissed. At the conclusio of the bearing there was a " scene" outside the court house between the friends of the two wives, those of th first expressing their determination to have Pease appre hended on a charge of bigamy. An intimation to the effect having been given to the magistrates' clerk, ht said if a warrant were applied for he would advise the magistrates to refute it. LONDON AND SOUT:I-77.ESTERN RAILWA/. MEETING THIS DAY. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this railway was held this afternoon at the company's offices, Waterloo. Station, Waterloo-road—Mr. Chaplin in the chair. The report and accounts already published were taken as reads Terre was a very thin attendance—less than we ever recollect to have seen at the rueetings of this company. The CHAIRMAN said that the dividends for the 1 tst five years had shown progress, and it was to be regretted there had been a change this year in that respect ; but it arose from exceptional causes. The amount re ceived in 1856 for the conveyance of troops, and also the public to witness the naval review, was 36,5001., and that put agoinst the apparent deficiency of the trsffio this half•year would give a balance in favour of t:te com pany of 21,0001. in reference to the year 1855. In July, 1856, 8,2761. was received alone for the convey ance of troops, which would also account for the decrease in the traffic shown this htlf-year. He yet hoped they would be able redeem the past, and show a satisfactory result for the current year. The report stated that the company had paseed through its Parliamentary struggle unscathed, and he assured the meeting that they were free from aggtettsion both on the east and west. The hon, gentleman then entered 'nto the details connected with the Parliamentary pro. ceedings in reference to this and the competing com panies, and in conclusion congratulated the meeting on the satisfactory state of the traffic and the engineer's t s port relative to the state of the line and the roiling stock. He moved the reception and adoption of the report. Mr. THOBALD seconded the motion. Mr. HEBAPATH referred to the arrangements made with the London and Brighton Company. It appeared to him that though the two companies appeared to be on friendly terms, they, in fact, Loked upon each other like dog and cat, from each conideriog the other bad in vaded their territories. He urged the necessity of friendly relations between the two companies. Mr. TITE, M.P., addressed the meeting in favour of the arrangement with the Brighton Railway Company, with regard to the Wimbledon and Croydon lines. He expressed his confidence in the working of the brie, and had no doubt the dividend would again rise. He was a large shareholder, and had no intentio❑ of disposing of any of hls stock. Mr. HERAPATH said that he bad been informed that this company intended to go to Brighton, lie expressed a hope that such was not the case. The CHAIRMAN said such was not the case. Mr. HERAPATH said be should be sorry to see this company go to Brighton, or the Brighton Company go to Southampton. The report was then unanimously agreed to. The resolution declaring the dividend at the rate of 4/. 15s. for the year was aleo unanimously agreed to. The arrangements proposed with the London, Brighton, and South Coast, and Wimbledon and Croy don Railway Companies, respecting the Wimbledon and Croydon Railway, and also agreements with the Salis bury and Yeovil an d S a li s b ury Market-house and Rail way C .mpanies, were submitted to the consideration of the meeting and agreed to. On the motion of Mr. MORTIMER (director), seconded by Mr. HERAPATBI, it was resolved that the fire insurance of the cAnpany should be increased from 1,2001. to 24,0001. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors ter. mivated the proceedings. NEW SOUTH WESTERN STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. MEETING THIS DAY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held tbis afternoon, at the Waterloo Railway-station, Waterloo• road ; Mr. Lacey in the chair. The report and accounts were theu read by the Secretary, and agreed to. The guaranteed dividend of 5 per cent. per annum was decla,r6d, and the meeting separated. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

Dr. Blomfield, the ex• Bishop of London, which took place at Fulham, at 10 minutes after 5 last night A few days since he was seized with an epileptic attack of so serious a character that his relatives and friends despaired of his recovery. His lordship was surrounded by his relatives and intimate friends at the time of his dissolution. Dr. Bloinfield was Bishop of London frcm 1821 to 1856, having been translated from Chester, of which he was bishop four years. His lordship continued to hold the deanery of the Chapels Royal up the time of his death, the appointment, by the expressed wish of her Majesty, having been retained by Drißlornfield when he retired from the supervision of the metropolitan see.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE AT GLASGOW.—.yeste rda y (Monday) morning., before six o'clock, two police officers la the Northern District were accosted by a woman, who tild thetu that she had murdered her child, and bade them come to her house and stie would show it to them. The woman, wh se name is Ellen Primrose or Westcott, and who is the wife of Richard Wostcott, a seaman, presently at sea, led the way to her hone in Dobble's. loan, on entering which they found her statement to be too true. An infant, three weeks old, Jane Weetcott, was di: covered with its throat cut, and the razor with which the frightful gash bad been Lflicted was found 'Ong unc'er the bed, with marks of blood on the blade. Dr, Dougan was sent for, and was in immediate attend. ance ; but his services were of little avail, as the wino• pipe was cut quits through, and the child died shortly after. The mother was taken to the Noithern Police and from thence to the County-buildings, whfle she was ex4mined before Mr. Sheriff Smith ; and, not having been considered in a sane state, she was com mitted, in the meantime, under the Lanaoy Statute, to the Asylum at G4rtuavei,—Glasgow Daly Mal. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—ahis Day.) COURT OF BA.NKRUPTCY. THE ROYAL BRITISH BAN-IN RE CAMERON. APPLICATION FOR DISCHARGR.-Mr. Bagley said that he appeared on behalf of Mr. Hugh Inues Cameron to apply for his discharge out of en,tody. He stated that the petition was filed on the 231 June. The bankrupt surrendered on the 25th, and assignees were chosen on the 1.6'.h July, and the bankrupt received protection up to the 30th of this month. He wan, however, at that time, in custody in default of bail, which he had been required to put in to answer certain criminal proceedings instituted against him by her Majesty's Attorney-General. He had now obtained bail, but was still held in custody on au attachment at thu suit of Mr. Harding, the official manager of the Royal British Bank —the attachment however was not lodged until after the bankrupt had obtained his protection, and he was there fore entitled to his immediate discharge. Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, said that the applica tion was unneJessary, but having been made he did no see how it could be refused, but there was no doubt he would have been released. His Honour asked for the copy of causes, showing at whose suit the bankrupt was detained. Mr. Bagley said the officer had not brought them with him. His Honour said he would make the order when they were put before him. The order will be drawn up in the course of the day. IX RE BROWN.

DIFFICULTIES 1N TURKEY. The change of Ministry has not yet led to any solution of the diploniaric disputes existing at Constantinople. The new Cabinet has offered to Aummon to Constantinople the Kaimacans of Wal lachia and Moldavia, to hear from their own lips their accounts of the recent voting in the Principali ties.
