TILE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 25, 1847, SPEECH OF M. GUIZOT ON THE MONTPENSIER MARRIAGE, DELIVERED IN THE CHAMBER OF PEERS, JAN. 20. The MINISTER of FOREIGN ATFAIRS ascended the tribune amidst marks of the greatest interest, and said: — Gentlemen, I hare to claim your indulgence, for I am somewhat hoarse, and have much to say. Ido not stand here to defend our policy. It has been strongly attacked, and as energetically defended, first by our friends, and next by men whom I regret not to reckon amongst our supporters, but whom I am happy not to have to-day to enrol amongst our adversaries. I shall not speak of the past so much as of the present, as the idea which now occupies every mind, is the influence exercised :by the Spanish marriages on our relations with Great Britain. lam fully aware that my words ma y have some influence on the present delicate situa tion, and I pray the Chamber to imagine what my position really is, and to go freely with me both in my frankness and my reserve. The Chamber has often given us its support when accusations were heaped on us of being wanting in firmness and dignity towards England, and it will now do the same when the charge against us is that we have been deficient in good faith and prudence.—(Hear, hear.) In presence of the Chambers, of France, of England, and of the King, I am about to give a plain recital of the policy followed by the French Cabinet, and when I have done that you can all form your own judgment. From the origin of the marriage question the policy of the King's government has been of a double character—very de cided and very public. In neither case was the accusa tion well founded, and as we have on many an occasion justified ourselves against the fi rs t, so I am now anxious to reject the oth er in the face of France and of Europe. The principle of that policy, with respect to Spain, is well known —not to allow the crown of Spain to pass out of the house of Bourbon. All our diplomatic antece dents, the balance of power in Europe, as well as the dignity of the French crown, called on us to insist on that point. That principle I have made the basis of our policy, and I have always clearly explained our view at all the courts of Europe. M. Pageot has been the interpreter of our sentiments at Berlin and Vientta, and M. Casimir Perier at St. Petersburg. Therefore there could not possibly be any doubt or hesitation felt relative to our views —(Here the Duke d'Aumale and the Prince de Joinville entered the Chamber, and the Peers rose to receive them.)—That principle I declared to the Cham bers from the very beginning. I announced it in 1841, 1842, and 1843—it was, in fact, the constant rule of my language. Yet we were not ignorant what difficulties this line of conduct involved ; it might be turned against us, and used to arouse the national susceptibilities of the Spanish nation ; but as we conceived that our policy was good and national, we firmly maintained it. We knew the dangers of that policy, but we knew that it was national, and we did not hesitate therefore to proclaim it with boldness. We have not hesitated to tie ourselves down in advance, and that embarrasses us. But at the same time that the policy of France was thus decided and public, it was moderate and conciliating. We espe cially recognised the rights of the country ; we served and aided Spanish interests even when not favourable to us. I defended General Espartero from this place ; I maintained with him friendly relations. We lived well w,th the Progressists, and we were at V - e same time clear and moderate. In fine, when a favourable occasion pre sented itself for bringing together the opposing parties— for uniting, for instance, the Moderados with the Pro gressists—we alfordM them our counsel , , and exercised influence among st them of the most mo d erate c h aracter. have we tailed either, as far as Spain is concerned, in moderation towards Europe ? Every body knows that the three Northern Courts supported a candidate to the hand of the Queen, the Count de Montemolin. We did not exclude him, although our conduct in that respect has drawn upon us many reproaches in France. I wrote on April 19, 1842, to the Count de Flahault that that idea was a good one for bringing about a fusion of the two rights, and for bringing Spain into communication with the rest of Europe. I pointed out, however, the dangers of that combination to Spain, by saying that it would be badly received by the Progressists, and even by the Moderados. I showed that parties in that country had even begun to be agitated at the probability of that union. I added, that the Queen Isabella was for ns the legitimate sove reign of Spain, and that we wished for no arrangement that should not be agreeable to Spain herself. Lastly, I terminated by saying that any prince of the house of Bourbon, who should be agreeable to the Queen Isabella would be agreeable to us. (M. Guizot here read the despatch to the Count de Flahaut, and proceeded.) The Chamber sees that in declaring ourselves in favour of this combination we made prow of impartiality. At a later period, on September 21st, 1843, I resumed in a note, also addressed to the Count de Flahaut, the rules of conduct adopted in common by France and England. In this note it was said that no formal exclusion was pro nounced by either Cabinet, but that if the candidateship of the Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg should be proposed, that would be for France a signal to resuscitate that of the Duke d'Aumale. Between the descendants of Philip V. the French Government did not intend to take the initiative; it accepted them all, abandoning to Spain— that is the numerous and most enlightened part of her population—the choice to be made between the several candidates to the Queen's hand. These conditions being laid down, the first candidate that presented himself was the Comte de Trapani. This candidateship was not set up by either France or England. We had no opposi tion to make to it. It had the consent of Queen Chris tina; it secured to Spain the recognition of Naples • and it drew closer the ti es b etween t h e t h ree branches Of the house of Bourbon reigning in Europe. As to England, we always offered her our united operation in Spain. No one is more convinced than myself that the struggle for influence in Spain between England and France is disastrous to her. There, as elsewhere, we may live in good intelligence with our allies on the other side the Channel. Never has England entered frankly into the concert; her policy was one of reserve and procrastination; she did not oppose us, but she did not co-operate with us. By the fall of Espartero, the English policy received a check in Spain; at the same time a report was current that the Spanish Go vernment might demand for the Queen the hand of the Duke d'Aumale. This circumstance aroused the atten tion of the English Government, who, in her turn, made advances to us to solicit our co-operation. (The lion. Minister here read a dispatch which contained these ouertures from the English Government, dated July 21, 1843, as well as the reply made to it by the French Cabinet.) The result was that the offer of the English Government was accepted with pleasure. Those are the very words of the answer. The nature of the arrange ment made was, that the two Governments agreed to admit that the question of the marriage of the Queen should be considered as one completely and exclusively Spanish. We could not but approve of that combination, we did, in fact, approve of it, that is to say, on the sole condition that it should have the manifest support of the young Queen of the Spanish nation, and that it should be submitted to legal and constitutional forms. This combination, however, met with very serious ob stacles in the midst of the struggles and pretensions of political parties in Spain. Besides, there was nothing urgent in the matter ; it might well be postponed ; the Queen was still young, and in consequence it was put off. The question remained in this state until the summer of 1844, a period at which we had occasion to give the English Goverment a fresh proof of the good faith of our policy ; we declared officially the renunciation of the Duke d'Aumale to the band of the Queen. This, it will be allowed, was a good card less in our game.—(Smiles.) At this time the Spanish Cabinet made a first overture, tending to the simultaneous marriages of the Count de Trapani with the Queen and the Duke de Montpensier with the Infanta. We did not listen to this overture, and our motives were explained in a dispatch which I addressed on the 26th November, 1844, to Count Bresson, our Ambassador at Madrid. The news thereof, nevertheless, got noised abroad, and caused some uneasiness to the Cabinet of London. That was a little before the second ' visit of the Queen Victoria to the Chateau d'Eu. That visit supplied us a natural occasion for entering into ex planations in this respect, in the same manner as I had done to Count Bresson. We did not conceal the fact that the marriage of the Duke of Montpensier with the In fanta of Spain would be perfectly agreeable to the King of the French, but we positively declared that we did not intend to profit by that project to thwart the general policy adopted in concert by the two Governments, and the marriage of the Duke of Mont pensier should take place not only after that of the Queen, but not until her Majesty's marriage should have given a successor to the throne of Spain. Lord Aberdeen acknowledged the perfect frankness of our declarations, and made no objection. The concert and common action of the two Governments remained there fore intact. After the conferences of Eu, the question pursued its course. The candidateship of the Count de Trapani continued to occupy the attention of the Go vernment of Madrid; but, at the same time, other names began to be pronounced, not through foreign, butSpanisle influence. The name of the Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg appeared most frequently. and his appearance naturally caused us disquietude. I communicated with Lord Aberdeen, who assured me that we had nothing to feat' from that quarter. I was, nevertheless, obliged to give new instructions to Count Bresson, recom mending him to be careful, and to protest against that combination if it should acquire any probability. The Neapolitan combination lost ground more and more; and the Cabinet of Narvaez was then about being broken up. I will allow not this occa sion to pass, of renderine. to General Narvaez, who is no longer in power, but who lives in retirement, the testi- Inorty which the upri g ht ness an d t h e energ y, o f w hi c h h e ll!ixte proof in this question, justly merit. He k )wed h maself, I fear not to say, more capable of political firm ness tb.aisrursgv the gove of the statesmen who have since tnt , red th e a s ra t of Spain. It is at this period that is to be placed sadoirmatorandum of the 27th February,which our Ambas En don, tbs. Count de Saint-Aulaire, placed before the liglish Cabinet; a memorandum which, repeating the instructions which we had given to Count Bresson, made : e own to the English Gove n rnent the conduct that Itnertilitsta pursue, if the new made to us heeonae serious, combination proposed at A new overture was then of tits. queen. Cabinet; it consisted in marrying the aDubeyde Montpen the Sp an i sh sier immediately before the marriaee 'as we had th e We rejected this second overture first. It was in the month a May that that Count Bresson called my serious man l yattenio the menacing exertions that were being made at Madridto in favour of the Prince of Coburg; and I learned at the same time that a cornmunicatioft of the same nature had been addressed by the Spanish Government to that of England. My surprise, I avow, was very great; and I hastened to express it to Lord Aberdeen, who denied that he had taken the least part in that unforeseen act. What, then, had produced the Coburg combination? Its origin must be sought in Spain herself. We had at two different times rejected the propositions of her Govern raecti liltitrAilltita , the simultaneous marriages, the stLer lo e and preliminary marriage of the lint /This double refusal offended the §I I W .B ""Thmenfinko therefore turned all at once to ~,~~.~~ 1► ~~~ ' .~ 1 S the candidateship of the Prince of Coburg. There were then, the Chamber sees, three courses of policy in pre sence. The policy of Spain, which desired either one of the two combinations she had proposed, or the Coburg combination; the policy of France, which refused both the simultaneous marriages and the immediate marriage, and which rejected the Coburg combination; and, finally, the policy of England, which, without adopting conduct equally clear and decided, adhered to the marriage of the Due de Montpensier, provided that it was neither immediate nor simultaneous. Such was the situation in June, 1846. To have enabled a question so complicated (rolls those different pretensions, above mentioned, to be easily resolved, there was evidently required the concert, the common action o f F rance an d E ng l an d ; an d it was by that concert, that common action, that we might hope for a prompt and favourable solution. I hesitate not to say that under the Ministry of Lord Aberdeen I had every confidence that this common action would be con tinued to the end without obstacle ; and here it is neces sary to expose to the Chamber the motives of that confidence. It was not simply based on the noble and honourable relations which existed between the two Ministers for Foreign Affairs, for whatever friendship may exist between two Ministers, it does not suffice t o direct the affairs of two great states ; it may facilitate the solution thereof, but it does not decide them. But this was what made my confidence ; you have often heard speak of a struggle, of rivalry, of influences between France and England. I am profoundly con vinced for my part that these struggles, these riralities, ire neither good nor necessary for the two state ; and I venture to say that in this respect the convic tion of Lord Aberdeen was perfectly identical with my own. What consequently gave me confidence was the sincere desire of peace which was then the ruling senti ment of the two Governments ; not a peace merely connected with the material welfare of the people, but which proposed a higher object, and one more dignified, founded on the respect, the moral happiness, and the repose of men ; that was the sentiment which inspired the councils of the two Governments. Another senti ment also animated them ; it was the feeling of a great mission of civilization and of progress to be effected in common ; it was the desire to prevent, by common action, revolutionary overthrows, by favouring every where the march of progress and legal liberty. These were the sentiments which then ruled from on high all the struggles for influence between the two countries.— (General marks of approbation.) These sentiments in spired the heart of Lord Aberdeen as well as our own; he was as deeply convinced, as ourselves, that i n it consisted the true and good policy which equally suited both nations ; consequently in all the qu es tions which were then pending, and even in the question of the marriages, strong in the general idea common to the two Governments, and smoothing down all interests of a secondary order, we were persuaded that the solu tion was possible, easy, and natural, and we were right in feeling that confidence in the exalted wisdom of the English Government. But at the end of June a change took place in the Ministry in England, and Lord Aber deen retired. From that moment the face of things changed. The Chamber will do me the justice to be ' lieve, that, finding myself in the presence of a new Minister of Foreign Affairs, I took no notice of any personal considerations ; I equally hastened t. remove both from the question and from the minister all sus picion, all idea cf bad faith whatever. Ido not think that I should be allowed to introduce such elements into the controversy on great questions, for all discussion would become impossible in presence of such accusations. [ will always do the statesmen who direct the affairs of their country the honour of believing that they act with good faith in the management of the interests con fided to them ; they may, like myself, be deceived, but I look on all accusations of the kind as base and absurd. I can readily conceive that Lord Palmer ston might have ideas and intentions different from those of his predecessor ; we have some reason to think it, and that without it being necessary to go back to 1840. The new Minister of Foreign Affairs was sub mitted to re-election ; lie was to appear and deliver a political speech before his electors ; we waited to hear the language that he might make use of. He was com pletely silent on the subject of the marriages. Nothing at first made known the steps which he proposed to follow, and it soon became evident to us that he wished to entrench himself in an impenetrable reserve. That was his right. Nevertheless, on the 17th July, I wrote to our Ambassador in London to propose to the Eng lish Cabinet a common action for the marriage of Don Francisco de Assis. Two or three days after I received communication of the dispatch of the 19th July ; which has been laid before the Chamber. That dispatch caused material changes in the state of affairs. It had at first been sent to Madrid without having been communicated to us. There was therefore a cessation of the common action. England pursued e an isolated po licy, and concealed it from France. So much for the form. We will now look at the ground-work. In this dispatch, the Prince of Coburg was not only named as a candidate, but placed at the head of the list. Count de Trapani was altogether excluded. At the same time too that the Prince of Coburg was named, it was added that he could meet with no objection. In addition to the part which speaks of the marriage, what is to be found in the document ? A violent attack on the Government of another country, of Spain, and an indi cation of the men to be placed at the head of affairs. So that, aczord - ng to this dispatch, we found ourselves in the face of a very notable change, both as to the marriage, and to the conduct of affairs in Spain. England wished to have the Progressist party advanced. It was impossible to mistake this double change on reading the dispatch. I should have been most culpable had I not seen therein symptoms of a change of deser tion in the English Cabinet ; at the same time another circumstance tended to irresistibly fix my conviction. My proposition fur a common action by France and England to put forward Don Francisco d'Assis remained for five weeks without reply. Five weeks ! I was not, however, tired out. I informed the Minister of Great Britain that if any project, whether French or Spanish, was entered into against us, the French Cabinet I was decided to follow the c ourse w hi c h i t h a d already made known. What the English Minister did not do, M. Bresson, our ambassador, accomplished, and I take this opportunity of saying, with a moderation and an ability, in act and word, which do him the greatest credit. Count Bresson always maintained himself within this line, that, whichever of the sons of Don Francisco de Paula should suit the Queen of Spain, would also suit Franoe. He did more—keeping in mind the realisation of the plans agreed to at Eu, he succeeded in getting inserted on the 28th of August, in the marriage con tract, though not without very great objections from the Spanish Ministry, a clause, declaring that " the mar riage of the Duke de Montpensier was to take place simultaneously with that of the Queen, as much as that was possible." But it became so evident that if on the sth of September all was not terminated for the Spanish marriages, everything would go back to a state of doubt that the causes of di sor d ers an d i nsurrect i ons would be ' revived, that it was no longer possible to hesitate. Count Bresson wrote u s ever y d ay . I n f i ne, it was only on Sept. 4, that by a telegraphic dispatch, and in conformity to the orders of the King, that I authorised Count Bresson to agree to the simultaneousness of the marriages. I shall give no detail as to what followed that solution. There only remains a few words for me to say. Evidently, to 4 every impartial observer, the conduct of the French Cabinet comes out of this erposé as it ought to do. These are facts which I can affirm to be true. What we said in the beginning we hare done—we have performed all we wished to do. We have violated no treaty—neither that of Utrecht nor any other. We have broken no engagement —we have failed in no procedd. We did all we could t o b r i ng about a concert with Great Britain, a common action. We have, therefore, acted in the fulness of cur duty, and of the dignity of France, without ever separating our action from prudence or good . faith.—(Loud m ar k s of approbation.) Now in what situation has this con duct placed us with Europe? With respect to Spain, the facts are clear. The marriage was maturely and freely discussed in the Cortes. Causes of disorder, of insurrection, were not wanting in Spain; but all fell be fore the wish of the country, and the marriage was ac complished. Since the marriage the Cortes have been subjected to re-election. The judgment of Spain has sent to the benches of the Cortes an assembly animated by the same spirit. We have, then, the right to say that ererything passed with the free co-operation, with the wish of the Spanish natio n . As to Spain, you see, we have only to felicitate ourselves on the events accom plished. But, with respect to the other powers ? I declare that no objection, no observation has been made either by the powers that have recognised the Queen of Spain or by those who have not. No power has adhered, nor, I will add, consented to adhere, to the protest of England. The powers have remained completely out of the pale of the English pro ceedings. Our situation with these powers, as with Spain, remains the same; and when they were informed of the project of marriage between the French prince and Spa nish princess, all replied in the same terms, and those terms were such an are employed in similar cases, just as if they referred to any other marriage. As to Eng land, she feels serious dissatisfaction. I hesitate not, however, to say, that if we so act, that, upon the one hand, we do not change our general policy, and if, on the other, we show ourselves determined to maintain with propriety what we have done, to abstain from all con cessions, all advances, be assured that the dissatisfaction of England will die away.—(Cheers.) It will die away before the importance of superior interests, which are equally understood at London and Paris. England and her Government have two grand guiding principles—these are justice and necessity : —(Hear.) The English people are honest, they respect right, andpause before irrevocable events. Present yourselves always before them strong in your right, strong in the fait accompli, and be cert a i n that good relations between the two countries will be re newed. (Loud approbation greeted the Hon : Minister as lie descended from the tribune, and the sitting was suspended for some minutes.) CAUSE or Fa VER.—The other day a fever broke out in a prison to the surprise of everybody. It turned out that the cause was this : it Was an old prison, surrounded by a moat; the noxious deposit of which had been disturbed by 'some works in progres?, and the fever broke out in the direc • tion in which the wind was blowing from the moat on to the prison. It appeared that the medical men had never seen the typhus there before, though they had been many years at tendants on that prison. T hey .4 - . y er x ,prison. and ( lid no t know it.—M,'.

HUNTING TERMS. The tail of the deer is called the single ; of the fox, the brush ; of the wolf and dog, the stern ; and of the hare and rabbit, the stent. The feet of the fox are called pads ; the face, the mask or front ; but in the deer it is the snout or nose. Of pointers, tetters, spaniels, greyhounds, and terriers, two are called a brace, and three a leash; of hounds, beagles, &c., two are called a couple, three, a bade, or a couple-and half; of spaniels and terriers, more than two brace of differ ent kinds are called a rough muster; several brace of spaniels are called a pack. In some counties it is common to say a couple of spaniels. In true sporting phraseology it is a kennel of foxhounds, a pack being thought more appropriate to harriers, but many crack sportsmen are nevertheless heard to talk of a pack of foxhounds, in common parlance. When hounds, in drawing for their game, hit the scent the reverse way, they are said to d raw amiss. But when the game is up, and the hounds scent it in the opposite direction. they then run to the heel, or run to counter. When they take a fresh scent, they hunt change; and when they are seen traversing the same ground over and over, they hunt foil. When they run without any cry, they run mute; and if they chase other game than that for which they are en tered, or are otherwise disobedient to the huntsman, they are said to run riot. Hunted animals frequently take the water. A stag or other deer doing so are said to take soil, an otter beats the stream, all other animals are said to take water. When a fox takes to ground, if it be to a regular fox earth, he is said to be run to earth ; but when he descends into a slough or drain, he has then run to ground. Drag up to a fox, walk up a dear, or draw on the slot. Quest or trail the hare, find or un kennel a fox, unharbour a deer, start the hare from the form or seat. The hare is pricked by the foot; the fox is balled or padded. A fox and a hare run up and down a cover; a deer beats the cover. A fox is said to be headed when he is turned back, a deer is blanched, and a hare making a return doubles. The hare squats, the fox lies down ; a fox is recovered, and a deer is fresh found. The death of the stag is the breaking up, or the take; that of the fox is to be worried; and whoo whoop is the death cry of both fox and hare. Tally-ho back when the fox heads back ;if the hounds come out it is hark back. A sharp burst is the first run when very quick. If the scent is eo good that the hounds run al most mute it is called a burning scent, but the hounds throw up or stop for want of scent, or because they have overrun it, then it is a check. If, on the contrary, the scent is so. good that they have no need to stoop for it, they are said to run breast high. In drawing the cover, the first hound which throws its tongue is said to challenge. The fox, when killed as soon as found, or in cover, is said to be chopped. Hounds thrown into cover are said to be drawing it. The scent left by the fox on his return to his kennel is called the drag; when rather fresher than a drag it is a moving scent When the scent of the fox extends itself, so that a majority of the hounds feel it, and crowd together to pursue it, they are said to carry a good head ; when the reverse of ',this is the case, and the dogs do not attempt to rush to the head, they dwell on the scent; when it is so faint as scarcely to be perceptible, they cannot feel the scent. The fox is said to run his foil when he retraces the ground he has been over. Hounds, when they have recovered a lost scent, are said to have hit it off, and one signalising himself on this occasion has made a good hit. When hounds are pressed on wards by too zealous riders, the huntsman's rate, " Hold hard" is the ch ec k t o t h e h urtful impetuosity; Hold them on" is the reverse, and is a direction to the huntsman to make to the head, and try to recover the sinking scent. If the impetuosity of the riders shauld occasion the death of the fox unfilirly, he is said to be headed to death. The good hound that abides by the scent only and will not go a yard beyond it, is called a line hunter. When hounds are slack 'nettled in their hunting they are said not to stoop to their scent; but when in one line, they go at the top of their speed, they are then said to be streaming away. Some dogs are said to be tight in their tongues, i. e. they run mute, or nearly so. The good hound, on the contrary, throws his tongue freely; but a too noisy hound is called a babbler, and should be drafted. A hound that has a habit of running wide of the pack is called a skirter. Full cry is when the joyous pack acknowledge the scent by throwing their tongues freely. When hounds are running with the wind behind them they are running down wind. Bloodhounds and greyhounds, when tired, are said to be overhaled ; pointers, setters, spaniels, terriers, &c., floored or jaged. LAW INTELLI(ENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Jan. 23. STEVENS V. BEATING. His Lordship delivered judgment in this case, which wa, an appeal from the Vice-Chancellor of England. A motion was made on behalf of the plaintiff for an injunction to res train the defendant from infringing a patent obtained by the plaintiff, for the manufacture of cement, capable of receiving a.high polish, and being used in the formation of imitation marbles, and va• ions other building purposes. The plaintiff, by his first specification, claimed the invention of producing cement by the use of gypsum, either in its natural state or in its manufactured state of plaster of Paris, or limestone, or chalk, first reduced into powder, and then mixed with a so lution of any strong alkali, neutralised by means of an acid, preferring for the purpose the um:if pearlash and sulphuric acid, but claiming all such other alkalis and acids as would answer thepurpoae ; and that water should be added to the mixture tili it attained the consistence or state suitable for moulding in cakes or bricks, or other forms, which were to be after wards dried and burnt in manner therein described. The plaintiff subsequently, in June, 1840, obtained another patent, and claimed, by his specification, the use of solid alkalis and acids, or acids in a state of solid combination, with other substances, or some solid compound containing both an acid and an alkali, as alum or some mixture of two or more of the said similar ingredients. The defendant obtained a patent in February, 1846, for the manufacture of cement lire that invented by the plaintiff, and made precisely in the same way, but claiming by his specification the combina tion of gypsum and borax. In support of the motion it was contended that the use of borax combined with gypsum, ac ccrding to the specification of the defendant's patent, was an irfringement of the patent obtained by the plaintiff, wl:o claimed the use, not only of all acids and alkalis, but also any s ibstam ein which the two were combined. It was also contended that the plaintiff's patent having existed for so long a period, must be considered good; and that he was, therefore, entitled to the injunction. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said it did not appear there had bean any dispute respecting the plaintiff's patent, which had been taken out so long ago as the year 1834. It was not to be set aside, therefore, merely because some objection might be raised to the validity of the language used in the specifi cation. He considered there had been clearly an infringe ment of this patent, and the plaintiff was entitled to an in junction ; but the plaintiff must be put upon terms to bring an action to try the question as to the validity of the patent. since t t that 7 4, his t he patent case The Loan CitaNcELLon, in givin g j u d gment upon the appeal, said he was of opi n i on t h at there had been an had in fringementremai remained e odf unopposedt e p !aint left; ever pn t, haen year d h was brought within the authorities cited, in which the Court had upheld patents after they had been undisturbed for so many years. Ha should, therefore, confirm the order made by theVice-Chancellor. granting the injunction, and direct the plaintiff to bring his action at law as soon as possible.

SIEGE OF OPORTO. From the month of September, 1832, to that of August, 1833, the " heroic and invincible " city of Oporto, with a force which, i nc l u di ng th e arme d citi zens, never exceeded eight or nine thousand men, encou raged by the presence of the great Dorn Pedro, defended itself agsinst the whol e po wer o f D om Miguel, who surrounded it with an army of more than thirty thousand men, excited by all the arts of the ancient bigotry, and supported by a most powerful artillery. During the painful interval of those eleven months the inhabitants suffered an amount of privation and distress from famine and disease, that must have reached an indescribable intensity of misery, but for the efforts of private charity. A soup kitchen, such as ought now to he seen diffusing its grateful odours over every town in Great Britain and Ireland, was established on a scale to supply six thousand rations daily, and afforded a relief that rescued the city from the agonising cries of starvation, and the garrison from the dangers of panic and terror. Cholera afflicted the devoted city for nearly eight of the eleven months of its severe probation, in the course of which, it endured frequently bombardments, and two most determined assaults, the latter costing the besiegers from three to four thousand men on each occasion. During the first assault the defence was gallantly directed by the brave Duke de Terceira, who is now a prisoner at Oporto ; and the second assault, commanded by the French General Bourmont, was repulsed by the intrepid Duke Saldanha, who has since changed places, and, although engaged in the same cause, is now the assailant of that interesting city—vicissitudes that give a romantic character to the changeful phases of civil war. After exhausting the powerful means at his disposal, it is well known that Dom Miguel was obliged to raise the siege of Oporto, and subsequently to abandon Por tugal. Yet, in the face of this striking evidence of the defensibility of Oporto, most of tha letters just received from that city appear to have been written under the apprehension that an immediate attempt would be made to enter it by assault, although the present gar rison consists of a force in number nearly equal to, if not so well disciplined, as the assailants, and possesses the enormous advantage of nume rous batteries and entrenchments, which, if not of a perfectly scientific character, are, nevertheless, the same that baffled every attempt of an army four times the number of the besieged. Everything that courage and skill could achieve might ba expected from the brave Duke Saldanha ; but, with a force not ex ceeding eight thousand men, including the isolated corps of Cazal, and wholly without battering artillery, it may be confidently assumed by those who have friends at Oporto, that they are exposed to no immediate peril, as, with such limited means, all military experience forbids any attempt to enter such a city by force of arms. Nevertheless, the situation of Oporto is one of pain ful interest, and its commercial prospects of the most gloomy complexion from the probability of a lengthened blockade, by sea and land, suspending all business and deeply affecting British property to a large amount. Yet is that gloom relieved by the brilliant traits which experience constrains us to recognise in the character of the much injured Portuguese, who by their prudence and integrity during the severe ordeal of the last siege, which endured beyond the usual term of commercial credits, presented au example, unprecedented in the annals of commerce, of a seaport cut off fro m a ll i n t erco urse with the interior, and deprived of its resources from in numerable debtors in the provinces, without the occur rence of one single bankruptcy, during the awful trial of eleven months. This astounding result may in part be ascribed to the indulgent conduct of the Bank, and of individuals, as honourable to their forbearance, and to the good faith of their debtors, as it is worthy of imitation by all commercial nations, when suffering under extraordinary pressure. But the blockade may cut off supplies of provisions to an extent sufficient to cause great distress to the inha bitants, without reducing the garrison to military ex tremities ; nor can any early compromise be expected between thecontending parties, both being so deeply com mitted to their several systems that nothing short o utter despair could induce either to yield. It is true that Oporto may be reduced to severe straits, but it must not be forgotten that the Queen's Govern ment is also much distressed for money, the recent pay ment of the dividends having been made with great dif ficulty, and at a heavy sacrifice ; so that mutual weak ness may protract the struggle, by leafing each party to hope, from the chapter of accidents, for some change in their favour. Can England, as the old and faithful ally of Portugal, be considered as a feeling and prudent witness of such a state of things without making some effort to rescue a gallant and suffering people from impending ruin, involving her own present and future in terests, both commercial and political, to an extent that may not be estimated, even by the known benefits of the past connexion, but rather with reference to the altered state of Spain, and the obvious and important changes, which the French have for a long period been lavishing their blood and treasure to prepare, on the shores of that fairy lake, which in per spective, their ardent fancy paints as all their own, be yond the pillars of Hercules.—PHlLO JUSTITLE. ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF STONE FENCES. Common, or dry stone walls, for durability, and an effec tual saving to the crops, are not surpassed by any other kind of fence. Their construction is somewhat expensive, but the benefit resulting from the removal of nuisances in the shape of weeds, which are too often allowed to luxuriate un molested under the common hedges, will more than counter.. balance the extra expense. Another important point is the saving of land; and the security stone fences afford against the ravages of hares, rabits, &c., is not less beneficial. Although the advantages of stone fencess are obvious, yet with many they are not in very high repute. They object that they are every year falling, and that, therefore, they require much labour to keep them in repair. This objection has some force, from the fact that many of the fences are very unskilfully built. In this country the stone is generally abundant, of the best quality, and of suitable form, for the purpose of dyke building. Those who follow it as a trade should select the smallest stones for a foundation, with which the wall should be raised to the height of eight inches or a foot from the ground, This will take up the greater part of the rubbish, as small stones is generally considered to be. Afterwards a larger size should be selected, and laid in double rows on each side of the wall, which may raise its height to about eighteen inches. Next the largest and best stones should be taken and laid across the wall, so as firmly to bind together the two sides —reserving smaller, but well shaped stones to complete the structure. In using small stones for the foundation, it may be as well to throw up a spading of earth so as to form a kind of embankment against the wall, and at least a foot high. By this means the small stones are all covered, will be but little affected by frost, and will lie as firmly as the largest materials within common se lection. Even if no larger than the stones on a macadamised road, they would make a firmer and surer foundation than broad, flat stones. They will settle uniformly and equally into the earth ; and, being pressed upon by larger stones above, will lie steady and unmoved in their place. When large stones are used as bottoming, the heaving of the frost, and the softness of the earth in a wet season, will cause them to settle more on one side than another, and thus disturb the structure above them. The method here recommended may appear strange to some; bnt those who have doubts may have an opportunity of comparing walls that have been so constructed with others differently built, when the former will be found to have stood the test of time, while the other has become delapidated. Some fall into an error through the pains they take to lay the smooth surfaces of the stones outward, that the dyke may have a handsome appearance. To effect this they often lay the stones in the most unfavour aabwl - e a !pi o s s e i l t d i o o n m s . f l ails zig be at b o y n e the s e t s e u d p g c e r a w b a u y n s d i a n n t t o pressure, to th e d es t ruc ti o n o f the fence. Whatever efforts may be made, no great beauty can be given to a dry stone crowdedad s mooth outa wall; and here, as in other cases, utility ought not to be sacrificed to beauty. The wall will eventually look best that lies best. Every stone should be laid in the position in which it can have the solidest bed, and bind together most effectually the atones beneath and about it, without regard to the beauty of the structure when completed.—Ayrshire Agriculturist. BENEVOLENCE.—It was stated on Friday, at a meeting held in the board-room of the Hospital for Ccnsimp tion and Diseases of the Chest, that the late Miss Catherine Lee had bequeathed the sum of 2001. for the uses of the charity ; and also that the late William Tyrringham Praed, Esq., the Member for St. Ives, had left 1004 for the same charitable appliance. Day in that year. I never dined with him before nor since. I know him then as Captain James Edward Carnegie, of the : Royal En g i neers . H 6 and his lady, whom he introduca' me as the Countess de Beaumont, called on me at my office in the early part of 1845, and she was present when I lent him the 51. I put the money into his hand, not into his wife's, and I let bins have it because he said he was Captain Carnegie of the Royal Engineers, and the cousin of Captain . Carnegie of the Royal Navy, and of the Hon. Fox Maule. He - told me he had forgotten his purse.—( Laughter ) Alde-man Gmas—ls there any Captain Carnegie in the ' Royal Engineers? Mr. Smith—No. Mr. Morgan—Why, I am given to understand that Mr. Smith and the prisoner have been long on intimate terms, dining with and making presents to each other. Mr. Smith denied that such was the case. He had never . dined with the prisoner but once, hut he admitted that he was desirous of an introduction to the prisoner's cousins. Mr. Henry Dircks, of No. 7, Nicholas-lane, City, engineer and agent, said-4n September or October, 1844 the'prisoner said he had an invention in liqueurs, and that his 'tame was James Beaumont. I introduced .him to Mr. M'Bride, of Watling-street, wine merchant, by that name, and I have written notes to him as James Beaumont, and addressed him by the same name. Mr. C. W. M'Bride, wine merchant, of Watling-street, said, in consequence of a communication which I received from Mr. Dircks, I went to his office and saw the prisoner, and afterwards he called at my office, and made an appoint ment to meet ins at his house, No. 27, Duke-street, Man chester-square, to see some liqueurs; and he then introduced me to an old gentleman whom he called Colonel Count De Gargano—(Laughter)—and a lady, whom he called the Countess De Beaumont, the daughter . of the. Duke De Puma. —(Laughter.) I afterwards went to him at No. 15, Somer set-street, Portman square. I had no further dealings with him, but I got liqueurs from him, which balanced the ac count. I declined having anything further to do with him when I ascertained what sort of a person he was. Mr H. Hoche—Tbe prisoner borrowed money from me in 1844. He came and introduced the name of Mr. Smith as having recommended him, and I lent him 301., for which he gave me a bill, which he accepted. It was never paid. Alderman GIBBS—Why did you lend him the 30/ ? Mr. Hoche—Because he mentioned the name of Mr. Smith to me, and I therefore considered him respectable. Alderman GIBBS—Did the prisoner say who he was at the time?—ML- knew him as Captain Carnegie. He said his lady was outside, and I told him to bring her in, and he introduced her to me as the Countess de Beaumont D'Ossuna (a Spanish title). Mr. Smith—l did not introduce the prisoner to Mr. Hoche, but he saw me write to Mr. Hoche, and the next thing I heard was that he had called on Mr. Hoche.—(Laughter.) Mr. Hoche—The prisoner, when he called upon me, said be had•beard his friend Mr. Smith speak of me. He did not ask me for the money at first. ' Mr. Smith-1 said to Mr. Hoche, " I have not introduced Captain Carnigie to you. Do not trust him on my account; but I understand from him that he is first cousin to the Hon, Captain Carr eaie, of the. Royal Navy, and to Mr. Fox Maule." The policeman, who apprehended the prisoner, said he had seen the Hon. Captain Carnegie upon the subject, and that gentleman denied relationship to the prisoner, and declar ed that he would most readily attend upon the trial, if any should take place, and give evidence to that effect. Mr. Morgan submitted that there was not a tittle of evi dence to justify the magistrate in holding the prisoner. Alderman GIBI3S—I shall certainly hold hint. Let the witnesses be brought up to prove what has been stated at the next examination. Remanded. GUILDHALL. Elizabeth Baker was finally examined before Mr. Alder. man Johnson, charged with being concerned with others in obtaining goods fraudulently from tradesmen. She was re manded from time to time, in the hope that some of her confederates vr , uld be traced, and the property - recovered: This not having been done, the magistrate now determine' to send her to Newgate. She had been previously com mitted on two charges of stealing, and the evidence in a charge of conspiracy with Gerhard and others, to defraud Mr. Burbridge, a hatter, in the Southwark-bridge-road, of 401. worth of hats, was now taken. The hats were supplied to Gerhard, who commenced business as an outfitter at Kennington. Mr. Lewis, the solicitor for the prosecution, examined the witnesses, but no additional facts transpired. The prisoner, who was undefended on thi s occas i on, was committed insiefault of sureties in this case. BOW-STREET. Two young men, named Jones and Donovan, the former having the appearance of a working man, the latter much better dressed, were charged before Mr. Henry, on suspicion of stealing a bundle of clothes, bedding, &c., the property of Mr. Duggin, jun., of the firm of Duggin and Son, dyers, of King-street, Holborn. Sergeant Fryer, F 15, said that about half past eight o'clock that morning, he was on duty in Holborn, and his attention was called to the prisoners, who were getting into a cab opposite New Turnstile. He stopped the cab, and found in it a bundle. Seeing that Jones had his hand in his pocket, he caught him by the arm, and took from him a pair of skeleton keys, which he now produced. They both re fused to give any account of themselves or of the bundle. Donovan had been convicted and sentenced to six months' imprisonment for felony. The bundle contained a variety of articles of linen, &c. • From the statements of the prosecutor, his father, and the porter at the establishment, it appeared that these articles were brought by the prosecutor, from his own residence, to be cleaned at his father's, and were left by him on the floor in the shop, where they were seen safe about ten minutes before the apprehension of the prisoners. The door of the shop was left open by accident,no one being there at the time, and the prisoners must have entered and taken the property at that moment. ' The prisoners made no defence; but Jones observed that he found the skeleton keys in the straw at the bottom of the cab. The prisoners were committed for trial. Mr. Cameron, chemist, of Liverpool, the inventor of the Drummond Light, and also of a patent for the speedy ex tinction of fires, applied to the sitting magistrate, Mr. Henry, for pecuniary relief, as he was in absolute want. Mr. HENRY said that the funds at his disposal were not available under the present circumstances, but he would cons• municate with the relieving officer of the Strand Union (Mr. Boswood), who would give the applicant some temporary re lief, and would take him before the board of guardians as soon as possible. The relieving officer, on receiving the magistrate's ,commu nication, gave the applicant a loaf; and said he would take him before the board to-morrow (Tuesday). WORSHIP-STREET'. I [ WHOLESALE PLUNDER.—This morning, a man and wo , man who gave the name of Dowling, tha latter of whom, however, it has been ascertained has gone by the names also of Willitims, and Burke, and various other aliases, were brought up for re-examination ; a large number of duplicate pawn-tickets, relating to watches, clothing, linen, and other valuable property, were produced. A short account of this nefarious affair appeared in The Sun of Monday last; since which Sergeant Saunders of the K division, has been indefatigable in his endeavours to trace out the property, and the owners thereof. The following are among the articles which the duplicates allude to ; viz:, a pillow-case, marked Jones, No. 6; a silk handker chief, marked J. G.T. ; a pair of linen sheets, marked Jones, No. 1; a towel, marked Jones, N 0.12 ; a black frock coat ; a black dress coat ; two pair of trousers ; a silk cravat ; a check cravat ; a pair of Clarence boots and a gold pin; a shawl, 2s. 6d., Harris, bs Ann Bigley ; Umbrella, 25., Byes, 147, St. George's street, Ratcliff Highway, by Ann Robinson; 27th November, two rings, Bs. 6d.; ditto, by L.

Downing. A number of other dupli cates relating to other valuable property have also since bee': found at the lodgings of the prisoners. Mr. Shiletto, landlord of the Swan and Hoop Tavern, Fins bury Pavement, said that a person answering the descriptioi of the fernde prisoner, had a short time since lodged at hi, house for a few days, under pretence of the greater facility i: would afford her to attend her medical adviser, who resider in the neighbourhood; that individual, however, manageo to leave his house with about ten pounds worth of hi, property. The prisoner, however, it would seem had other plans fo plunder, and, among others, she would assume the manne, kind appearance of a laundiess, and numerous have been he victims inthisway. The male prisoner, according to the report of the Governor of the Westminster Bridewell, had been confined for six months in the latter place for felony. The prisoners were again remanded.

ROLLS' COURT, Jan. 23. BAIL COURT Ja:. 23. The Court was occupied during the whole morning in disposing of motions possessing no feature of public interest. PRIVILEGES OF 'FOREIGN AM BASSADORS AND ENVOYS. LORD MAYOR'S COURT, Guildhall, Jan. 23. (Before the lion. C. E. LAW, Recorder.) MURPHY (EXECUTRIX) AGAINST DON JOSE THOMAS MURPHY, MEXICAN ENVOY. The consideration of this important case, which, so far as relates to the privileges granted by the statute of the 7th of Anne, cap. 12, to ambassadors, envoys, and ac credited representatives of foreign courts, their domes tics and servants, in this country, was, during the sitting of the Court, again brought before the Recorder, but with the essception of the question of privilege the particular facts of the case present no feature of public interest. It appears that on the sth December last the plaintiff issued a plaint, and obtained the customary attachment out of this Court, which possesses the peculiar privilege in conjunction with the city of York, of attaching money, goods, or chattels belonging to a debtor, in the hands or possession of a third party. The amount attached was 3,8001., which was in the hands of Messrs. Schneider and Co., merchants, in the City, and on the 16th of December Mr. Locke moved fur and obtained a rule nisi to dissolve the attachment under the provisions of the statute before referred to, viz., the 7th Anne, cap. 12, which not only protects the liberty of the person and cha . tels of the representa tive in this country of any foreign Power, but renders the parties issuing or causing to be issued any writ or proceeding against any such representative liable to punishment, according to the discretion of the Lord Chancellor, Lord Keeper, or any of the Judges of the Court of Queen's Bench, on representation to them of any such infringement of the Act, which Act is a decla ratory one, and passed in consequence of the Russian Ambassador having been seized, arrested, and forcibly taken from his carriage for debt a short time previous, and this country being at peace with Russia it was con sidered to be against the law of nations. Mr. RYLAND, in showing cause, contended that the attachment ought to remain, inasmuch that the de fendant was not de facto at the time of the issuing of the attachment the accredited representative of the 'Govern meni of Mexico, he having been recalled on the 29th of September, although his successor, General Don Jose Mendoza did not arrive until the 20th of December. The LEARNED RECORDER held that the defendant was entitled to his privileges up to the 20th of December, and dissolved the attachment. withßK AB being whato sAcLaLIEI POLICE INTELLIGENCE, i 111 ANSION-HOUS E. the GED 'RA FRAUD. — er A al b t o a d ll y th o i f : man, of military appearance, whose name appeared in the ed by cha ß rg E e r d A charge list as James Edward Carnegie, was put to the bar, tradesmen a common sWindler.

Mr. Andrew Smith, of Wa l lington-place, Commercial ' road East, engineer, said, " In the early part of 1845, the prisoner ;called on me at my office in White Lion-court, Cornhill, and having represented himself to me as Captab. Carnegie of the Royal Engineers, and the cousin cf the llon. Captain Carnegie of the Royal Navy, and of the Hon- Fox Maule, borrowed of me the sum of 5/. He said that hf would introduce me to the two gentlemen above-named, and I lent him the money, which he promised to return in a few days, and which he borrowed upon the pretence that he had left his purse at home, in consequence of his allege 1 relationship to those distinguishcd individuals. I afterwards learne,. that there was no connexion at all between him and them. I met him first in a public coffee-room, and he introduced to me a lady as his wife, whom ho described as the Countess de Beaumont, and related to the blood-royal of Spain. Mr. Morgan—You do not svialc of your first meting? Mr. Smith—No; I had met him previously. He borrowed three sovereigns of me on the 30th of November, 1814, at a public dinner. . -le T told, me it was the amount of the con tribution he intended to give to the charity; but I do n o ; be:ieve that he paid told me that he had conside r a ble p ro p ert y in Spain and Portugal, and the East Indies, and he introduced me to several respectable persons, who, it appears, became acciden tally as I did, for they were all tally acquainted with him imposed upon by him. bit'. Morgan—Of that you know nothing. Alderman GIBBS—He seems to know something about it; we shall see by and by. Mr. Andrew Smith—l accompanied him to the Society of Arts, as he wished to go there to see the apparatus of l'i! brow's Patent Atmospheric Railroad, and I w:ts a inendie of the society. Cross-examined by Mr. Morgan—l was first introduced to him in I.T9yember, 044. I dined with him on St. Andrew'a - - - COLEMAN V. THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY. An injunction had been obtained in this case by the plain tiff under these circumstances :—The plaintiff was a pro prietor in the Eastern Counties Railway, and the directors of that company were desirous of constructing a railway from one of their termini to Harwich, and by that means obtain ing a communication with the sea, and thence with several important sea-ports on the coast of France, Holland, Sec. Th e plaintiff refused to em b ar k i n the undtrtaking, it being alleged by the defendants that he was induced to oppose it, because he was a proprietor in another steam-packet, which the proposed railway would seriously injure. An application was mane to-day, on the part of the de fendants, to alter the form of the injunction, which his Lard ship refused to do. • IN R. There were . two petitio E ns PENDEN in this case, the first for the confirmation of the Master's report, and the latter to im pugn the finding of the Master in reference to some items in a bill which he bad disallowed. The parties were soli citor and client, and the accounts had reference to profes sional services rendered by the former, the charges for which the Master considered exorbitant. Mr. Turner and Mr James appeared for the appellant, whose case was not concluded till the rising of the Court. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 23. The whole of the day was occupied in hearing argu.. ments and authorities on a demurrer out of the Crown paper, which had no public interest. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 23. BOUTON V. MILES. This cause, which was in part heard yesterday, was an action in which the plaintiff sought to recover the sum of 100/., alleged to be due to him for one year's wages as captain of a yacht of which the defendant was the owner: Mr. M. Chambers and another Learned Gentleman ap peared for the plaintiff; Mr. Crowder and Mr. Udall for the defendant. The plaintiff was, it appeared, employed by the defendant at the rate of 1001. a year, as the captain of a yacht, the property of the defendant. It was resolved that a trip should be taken to Gibraltar and the Mediterranean in the yacht, the plaintiff being the captain. Soon after the return of the yachting party to England, the plaintiff requested payment of his year's salary. The sum of 91. was tendered to him on behalf of the defendant, that being the amount of the balance due upon his wages for six months. This, how ever, the plaintiff refused, and brought the present action to recover the whole amount of a year's wages, on the ground of the engagement having been made for twelve months, and that in consequence of the fatiguing nature of his occu pations, caused by the continued disturbances on board by the various members of the yachting party and their fair companions, his health had be c o me so i mpa i re d , t h at upon his return home he was totally unable to enter into any other engagement. The defeadant resisted the claim on the ground that the defendant had discharged himself from his employment; he could not be held liable for the payment of the wages of the plaintiff for the term of twelve months. Several witnesses were called on both sides, and the Learned Baron having summed up, the jury retired, After an absence of considerable length, ibe jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum of 59/. Is., as the balance due upon twelve months' wages. CO U —RT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 23. PHILLIPS V. NAIRN AND OTHERS. The Court wa s occupied the most of he morning with this case, which was an application for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection from the judge on the trial. The question was between the owner.; and the underwriters of the ship Broxbourneburg, which received damage in a severe storm at sea off the coast of India, so as to be compelled to run into Port Louis, in the Mauritius. The timbers of the vessel, when she came to be repaired, were found incapable of refastenings, and were many of them replaced, which increased the expense of the repairs to about 8,000/. The defendants, the underwri ters, refused to pay more than 50 per cent. of this amount, averring that the rest arose, not from perils of the sea, but from the unseaworthmess of the ship. Sir F. THESIGER contended against a new trial, and had not concluded his argument when the Curt rose. INSOLVENT DEBTORS, (From last night's Gazette.) SUMMER CIRCUITS, 1847. SOUTHERN CIRCUIT.

There were several witnesses in evidence was not gone ° in ° t r o . , attendance for examination upon this point. This being the case against the prisoner, Mr. Trafford , . addressing Mr. Foulkes, the solicitor for the prisoner , said —I suppose, after esses. I am bound to hear them, and any remarks you inav think discretion. i —Elizabeth the intimation I have given, you will not call any witnesses, lit to make.

Undoubtedly there was a time when I Was dis posed to enter into a commentary upon the whole of this evidence; but, since you have given me that i ntimation, I shall not attempt it. It appears to me certainly a case of very great mystery. Mr. Trafford —It is one which certainly Johnson, you are fully aware of the charge against you, that requires further investigation. (To the prisoner) of administering poison to your husband, and thereby caus ing his death. (Prisoner—% did not do it.) It is not for m e to say whether that charge is sufficiently proved before me, beyond saying it is sufficiently proved to send you to a higher tribunal, there to take your trial. The facts which have been proved before me, uncontradicted as they now remair, certainly prove your conduct to have been that of a woman guilty of great impropriety • b u t whether you have coin milted the awf u l crime withi which you are charged, and thereby caused the death of your husband is known only to Hint who is above and to yourself, as far as appears at present. It will be for a jury of your country to say whe ther they believe you have been guilty or not. You now stand committed to the next assizes to take your trial for the wilful mur d er of your husband, Willi am H enry Johns-,n. You may stand down. The prisoner, who maintained the calm,- collected demeanour which has characterised her thr oughout the wh o l e o f th ese proceedings, th en l e f t the dock, without manifesting the slightest discomposure.
