Mr. Bidder was re-examined at considerable length by Mr. ALEXANDER, in the course of which it was elicited that as between London and Alford the cost of the works on the Brighton line would be 250,0001. more than that of the South-Eastern. The interest of that sum would pay for the locomotive power between Tonbridge and London. He was no advocate for bad gradients where better could be got ; they were always expensive and incon venient. For instance, had the Brighton line been made along the valley it might have been a little longer, but it would have cost less, while the superior gradients would have admitted of the journey to Brighton being per f.rmed in less time than on the direct line. With regard to gradients there was no comparison between the South-Eastern and the Brighton schemes. Those of the former were immeasurably the best, and as a necessary con sequence would cost the least, and be worked the cheapest. On such an occasion as the Derby-day he had no doubt the Brighton Company would be glad to use the South-Eastern Croydon line, in order to avoid the New Cross incline of 1 in 100. The Committee adjourned at four till twelve o'clock on Thursday. GROUP XII. This Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock; the Hon. Mr. S. Lascelles in the chair. All the other members were present. NEWMARKET AND CHESTERFORD RAILWAY EXTENSION. Mr. HILDYAED summed up his evidence on behalf of this scheme at great length, contending that it possessed far greater general advantages that the competing scheme. Mr. CALVERT then replied on behalf of the Lynn and Ely Extensions. At the close of the Learned Gentleman's address the room was cleared for a division. On the admission of the parties, The CHAIRMAN stated that the Committee had decided the preambles of the following Bills to be proved:-- Newmarket and Chesterford Railway (Extension to Thet ford). Newmarket and Chesterford (Extension to Bury St. Ed mund's, &c.) Newmarket and Chesterford Railway Act Amendment, &c. And that the preambles of the following Bills were not proved : Lynn and Ely (Extension to Bury St. Edmund's). Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's (No.2)—(Newmarke tend Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's (No. 3) —(Bury to Thet- ford). The Committee then adjourned till Friday next, for the consideration of the clauses. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE. The Committee met yesterday at the usual hour, for the dis patch of public business. EDINBUURGH AND PERTH RAILWAY. This was the only case which was called before the atten tion of the Committee. The entire day was occupied in the examination of witnesses. Much interest was evinced to know the decision of the Committee, but it is generally believed that another day will be spent in the further inves tigation of the merits of the case. The Committee adjourned a little before five o'clock. PRODUCE OF THE GOLD MINES IN OREL AND SIBERIA. We are indebted to Mr. Frederick Scheer, of Adam's court, Old Broad-street, for the following interesting information respecting the gold mines of Siberia, which he has just received from official sources in Russia:- Of the quantity of gold worked in 1846 in the Crown mines, and in the mines in Orel an 1847 d Siberia, the Mint has received to this date (6th Feb. ) 1,397 poods 15 liv. 13 zol., to which must be added 325 poods 14 liv. 74 zol. expected during the winter, thereby making the total production of gold in 1846 amount to 1,722 poods 29 liv. 87 zol. Formerly gold was only worked in the district of the mines of Catherineberg, belonging to the Crown, in the mines of Berezoff, and in the district of the mines of Kolyvano-Voskressensk and of Nertchinsk, and was ex tracted from silver, which was worked in those mines : the whole quantity extracted annually amounted to but 34 to 40 poods. In 1819 some veins of golden sand were discovered in Orel. Since then, the production of this precious metal has increased in the following proportions :-In 1819, 40 poods 9 liv. 55 zol. ; in 1820, 44 poods 3 liv. ; in 1821, 52 poods 24 liv. 85 zol. ; in 1822, 79 poods 21 liv. 36 zol. ; in 1823, 125 poods 19 liv. 79 pl. ; in 1824, 228 poods 13 liv. 38 zol.. ; in 1825, 257 poods 12 liv. 14 zol. ; in 1826, 257 poods 25 liv. 15 zol. ; in 1827, 307 poods 30 liv. 95 zol. ; in 1828, 317 poods 39 liv. 44 zol. ; mak ing a total of 1,711 poods 0 liv. 21 zol. It was in 1829 that some veins of golden sand were also discovered in Siberia. At first the working of it was not very productive, but after a while, ana more especially during the last six years, the results have been very brilliant, as ,the following figures will prove:- In 1829, 314 poods 31 liv. 1 zol. ; in 1830, 378 poods 15 liv. 79 zol. ; in 1831, 396 poods 29 liv. 37 zol. ; in 1832, 410 poods 8 liv. 61 2°l. ; in 1833, 408 poods 22 liv. 71 zol. ; in 1834, 406 pot'ds 4 liv. 64 zol. •, in 1835, 413 poods 1 liv. 8 zol. ; in 1836, 426 poods 3 liv. 74 zol.; in 1837, 469 poods 20 liv.. 5 zol. ; in 1838, 524 ponds 36 liv. 69 zol. ; in 1839, 525 poods 6 liv. 38 zol. ; in 1840, 585 poods 15 liv. 60• .zol. ; in 1841, 681 poods 20 liv. 34 zol. ; in 1842, 950 floods 26 liv. 68 zol. ; in 1843, 1,283 poods 2 liv. 60 zoI. ; in 1844, 1,341 poods 25 liv. 60 zol. ; in 1845, 1,386 poods 6 liv. 41 zol. ; 84126:6214,72p20npd050d258 2 1i 9 y. 1 2 iv. z B oi z I T . h ; us making nce both in t hatO i r s e 1 T o s d a b s e i r n i c a e 1819, the working of fine gold, 45 zol. of this precious ' has produced 14,335 poods 28 liv. aathnetdodtaiinslcoolvfery of the golden. sand nthOorseel in naire Siberia, con mtriebtualtedofa'te mines in Orel, 1,293 poods 7 liv. 28 zol.; the priv 2 7 9 h 2 i 4 c h poods the C 24 ro l w iv a .. 3 m 2 in z e o . s l. 4,219 poods 39 liv. 70 zol.; and those ur Siberia , 5,897 ponds 37 liv. 11 zol. zol., forms more than amounts to 1,722 poods 29. liv. 87 gold worked since 1819, ' a tenth of the whole quantity of The produce of the year 1846, which, as before stated, and surpasses by 336 ponds 23 liv. 46 zol. the result of eat- the working of this metal in 1845. and - "-cil b- Lord Thomas and Lady Sophia Ceci.

RIDDELL.—GREAT LEEDS AND LONDON DIRECT RAILWAY. The bill in this case was filed by Mr. John Cutts, of Bardfield, near Braintree, in Essex, one of the pro visional committee, against Mr. John' Reginald Riddell, Mr. Frederick Polhill, and others of the provisional committee of the above-mentioned company, and Mr. Charles Barker, agent for advertisements, and a creditor of the company, praying an injunction against the pro secution of an action at law. The papers are extremely voluminous, but the facts appear to be these Sep temb. r, 1845, the railway was projected, and a Parlia mentary Contract and subseribe-rs . agreement were pre pared, the capital proposed to be raisers being 2,500,000/. in 100,000 shares of 25/. each, with an intended deposit of 2/. 12s 6d. per share. The plaintiff applied for shares in the company, the depo-it money upon which, accord ing to the arrangement hereafter referred to, would amount to 751. The sum received for deposits was only 29,6401. 13s.—a sum insufficient to pay the preliminary expenses of surveys, and to obtain the Act of Parliament, and therefore a meeting of shareholders determined to abandon the scheme, and that 1/. 103. per share should be returned to the depositors. A committee appointed for the purpose made agreements with several creditors who accepted less than their demands, and among them Mr. 4s. 6 B d nr , k b er u , t th a e g a r d ee v d erti t s o ing ac a c g e ent, who claimed 3,043/. It was pro. posed also that these of theptpr2o,v7issoitual co.nmittee smheanreswhshooulhdad benotcalpleadid uponth deposits on on their share. Mr. Barker's claim was adjusted by thelLal. mpietr tee for winding up the affairs, and on the 17th of February, 1846. he signed a memorandum in the follow ing words :—" Memorandum, that in consideration of my claim upon the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway having been this day adjusted at the sum of 2,7501. in full satisfaction of all demands, and of the sum of 1,000/., part thereof, having this day been paid to me, I hereby authorise and empower the corm of inalmement of the said conimirfee of ;etie'litid p=inyVlNtioinylntlite in any action or actions they may think proper to insti tute against any member or members of the provisional committee for the recovery of the remaining 1,750/., or any part thereof, it being fully understood and agreed that the said balance of 1,750/. shall be paid to me within six calendar months from this date, and that I shall be fully indemnified from all costs and charges whatsoever which may be occasioned by the use of my name in any action or actions which may be instituted under this authority." Upon the signature of this paper Mr. Batty, the solicitor of the company, addressed a letter to Mr. Cutts, requiring him to pay 10s. per share on his allotted shares, as a provisional committeeman, amounting to 751; but that sum was not paid, and an action was brought against him, at the suit of Mr. Barker, in the Exchequer, to recover the balance of 1,750/., to which he plea ed, and the bill was filed to restrain further pro ceedings. It appears that since the memorandum was signed Mr. Barker had been paid 1,0001., leaving the ultimate balance due to him only 750/. The ground set up by the bill was, that as the defendants, the provisional committeemen, have still in their hands a large sum of money, not less than 33,0001., applicable to the payment of the debts of the company, they had no right to use the name of Barker by way of forcing from the plaintiff the amount which they claimed from him, he denying his liability to that individual. Mr. BACON and Mr. HEATHFIELD appeared to show cause against dissolving the common injunction which had been obtained, and insisted that the plaintiff, Mr. Cutts, was not liable to pay a sum due to Mr. Barker, or at all events, not so liable so long as the defendants, the provisional committeemen, had a sum of money in their hands applicable to the payment of the debts duo from the company. For anything the Court could know from the record before it, Mr. Cutts did not owe a shilling, and the Court would not permit an action to go on, Mr. Barker's name being used as a mere pretext for screw ing out of the plaintiff a sum of money to pay which they already possessed ample means. The use of Mr. Barker's name was a mere pretext to get from Mr. Cutts ibpuertes.haTrehwe hwiheholethweadseafenndimanptrsopsearidusheeoofugthhet n t t o n a e m c o l e n ° of t s r • one of the creditors of the company, and the in junction against the action ought to be continued. Mr. SWANSTON and Mr. Mauro, for the defendants, observed, that as many of the defendants had paid 2/. 12s. 6d. deposit and only had back 1/. 10s., they had in fact contributed towards the expenses 11. 2s. 6d. per share, while all they required of the plaintiff, Mr. Cutts, was the payment of 751., being at the rate of 103. per share only, and yet he refused to contribute that small; proportion, but called upon his co-provisional committeemen to apply their own and others' money to pay a debt which justly ought to be paid by Mr. Cutts as well as them. His HONOUR said he understood, that although the action was brought for a large sum, yet that all that was really sought to be recovered from Mr. Cutts was 751. Would the defendants be satisfied with that sum being brought into Court? Mr. SWANSTOX said they would.' Mr. MALTris said that has been all that has been re quired. The defendants have over and over again offered to indemnify Mr. Cutts against all liability on the action beyond the sum of 75/. if he would only pay it. Mr. BACON assented to bring the 75/. into Court on or before the 15th of April. The order was then made for the money to be brought in, and that the injunction should be continued without prejudice to any question in the cause. Solicitors for the plaintiff—Messrs. Amory, Sewell, and Moores. Solicitor for the defendants—Mr. W. Batty. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, March 22. The assizes commenced here this morning, Mr. Baron Rolfe presiding in the civil, and Mr. Baron Alderson on the Crown side. In his charge to the grand jury, his Lordship said that notwithstanding the great distress which prevailed, he was happy to find that there was not so great an increase of crime as might have been expected, nor were the crimes, except four or five, of great magnitude. There were 83 cases in the calendar, which, consider ing the recent winter assize, might be considered a large number, but for the prevailing distress. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Hugh O'Neal, aged 53, was indicted for cutting and wounding George Townend, at Wardle, on the 29th of December last, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. The prosecutor, a working man, was at a publio-house when the prisoner, who is a travelling tinker, went it). Some words ensued, and the prisoner who had a large soldering-iron in his hand, struck the prosecutor heavy blow with it on the side of the face, near the left temple, which made a mark which he will ret ain till death ; but the surgeon, to a question from the judg e, sa ying that the skin was not broken,' His LORDSHIP said there was an end of the charge of felony, and The jury thereupon found the prisoner Guilty of an be impri assault only. LweitahD hard labour , son H e i d s , bodily harm, indicted for wound. Thomas Fothergill, aged 30, was and ing his wife, Maria, with intent to murder, also with intent to do her grievous sentenced six e t s h i e e n p d r is on o e n r on the 13th of February last. th th s. It appeared that the prisoner, who s t W s miller, th ug h w t :n n t ' home on the above day, when some words took place between him and his wife respecting some money she had taken from him while he was asleep. She had one of their children in her arms, which he desired her to put down, saying he did not wish to hurt the child. She not complying, he took it from her, and laid it down on a sofa-chair. She took it up again, but he bid her lay it down again, which she did. Ee then threw her down on the hearth, and with the poker gave her two severe blows with it, each inflicting a wound on the ahead ; and a third blow she received on her hand by putting it up to defend her head. When he had thus done he went to a neighbour's, and askd her if she could find him anywhere to be out of the e way. of the police. He had killed Maria. Mr. Baron ALDERSON told the jury the only question in the case was the intent with which the prisoner in flicted the blows. He thought the jury would hardly conclude that the prisoner intended to murder his wife, but he, in striking her on the head while lying helpless on the hearth, must have intended to do her harm. His very care of the child favoured that view of the case. The jury found the prisoner guilty on the count charg ing the intent to do grievous bodily harm only. entence deferred. Jane Baker, aged was indicted f or bi gamy. 26, It appeared that, in October, 1836, the prisoner was married to George Baker, who worked in a cotton-mill. She lived with him but a short time, but two years after wards they came together for a time, and then again parted, having had one child. In January last year the prisoner again married Henry Hyde, her former husband being then and still alive. She said she was not lawfully married to Baker, because she had married him in a wrong name, and that she had married him in a wrong name in order that she might leava him when she liked. Mr. Baron ALDERSON told the jury they had nothing to do with the question us to the name of the prisoner. The only question for them was, whether the prisoner was the person who was married to Baker, there being no doubt it was she who married Hyde. The jury having found her Guilty, His LORDSHIP told her that the law would not permit her to take advantage of her own fraud in marrying in a false name, had she indeed done so. As against her, at all events, the first marriage was valid. As, however, so much injury was not inflicted by the commission of this offence by a woman as by a man, he should only sentence her to be imprisoned, and kept to hard labour, for three calendar months. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Stafford, March 22. (Before Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE.) Mary Ann Scuffe m, 25, was indicted for the wilful murder of Eliza Scuffem, at Shenston, on the 9th of No vember. Mr. Sergeant Allen, with Mr. Huddleston, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Woolrych defended the prisoner. Doors open at Ten o'clock. FASTER IS C O M I N G.

TIT N , MARCH 24, 1847. William lilmanell said, I am governor of Lichfield workhouse. The prisoner had a child named Eliza, two years old, with who.7q she left the house on the. morning of the 9th of November'. She was in the family-way. She gave me notice the n.',Oit before. On the 11th of November I saw the dead body of the child at the Anchor, at Cat's-hill. The chid was in perfect health when she loft. Samuel Curry—l saw the prisoner coming out of the turnpike-road to a rick in a field, near the towing-path of the canal. She took some straw from the rick, and put it by the side. She had a child. I asked her if she was going to drown the child, or herself ? She said, " No, God bless it ; she was too fond o f it." She said she came from Lichfield, and was going to Walsall. I told her that was not the road, and if she did not get up and go, I would fetch a constable. She then got up and went along the side of the canal. The next day I heard of a child being drowned in the car.al. John Critch—On the night of. Monday, the 9th of No• vember, I was going along by the side of the canal on the towing-path, when I saw• a woman and child about a quarter of a mile from the Anchor Inn. She was sit ting down on her right heel, and bad the child-against l.er left leg, partly undressed. asked her what she was doing, and she said the child had bedaubed itself, and . she was shitting it. Joseph Walker found the body of a dead female child in the oanal, and took it to the Anchor Inn. The pri soner's father and mother lived about three miles from there. I have known her eight years, and she has been considered of weak intellect. Henry Woodroofe, house surgeon, examined the body of the child at the Anchor Inn; found it remarkably healthy. Death - was caused by rowning. Had a con versation two years ago with the prisoner, which left an impression on his mind that she was a person of rather weak intellect. Mr. Woolrych having addressed the jury for the prisoner, and Mr. Sergeant Allen replied, his Lordship having summed up, the jury returned a verdit of Not Guilty, on the ground of insanity. She was removed. and ordered to be detained in cus tody during, her Majesty's pleasure. Mr. Justice' - Mattle - sst -Ist-the - Nisi Prins Court. AO diSposed of the case of Fleetwood v.

The upper part of the body was greatly discoloured. The deceased appeared to have hee' knocked about in a most shocking manner, as if from a cudgel, and the blows must have been very severe. The arms were blackened all over, and there were large. patches of bruises. The deceased appeared to have been intoxi cated, and was very much depressed. He was in a partially delirious state from the time of his admission until his death, which took place that mor►ing. - The prisoner a'hed the witnesses several questirns, which elicited, nothing material, and he then stated that he called on Mr. Dale, the surgeon, because he had at tended the deceased before, and that he Wll% attack , d with illness on Saturday morning which caused his death. The deceased had Ewen &fflict,rd with a si milar illness before, and he had witnesses to prove it. Mr. YARDLEY said this case must be furth'-r investi gated, and remanded the prisoner till Monday next. The prisoner applied to be admitted to bail, and it was refused. TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. BOARD OF GREEN CLOTH, ST. JAMES'S PALACE POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. A charwoman, named Louisa Wright, was charged with stealing a quantity of silver plate, belonging to Miss Williamson, of 139, Strand. The prosecutrix missed the plate, consisting of silver spoons, forks, &c., to the number of about forty-seven, from an iron chest in her bed-room, on the Bth of March instant, and, suspecting that they had been stolen by a discharged servant, with whom the prisoner was on in timate terms (being then also in the same service), she consulted the latter respecting the robbery, but without learning anything about it. It afterwards appeared that nearly the whole of the plate had been pledged, from time to time, by the prisoner, at the shop of Mr. Lux more, pawnbroker, St. Martin's-lane, under various pretences. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said that the discharged servant, a girl named Wood, gave her the things to pledge, and received all the money and dupli cates upon the goods. Mr. JARDINE remanded her for further examination. Philip Hay, son of Major-General Hay, was brought up on a warrant from the Southwark Police Court, charged with refusing to pay a cab fare in February, 1846. The cabman had obtained the warrant on hear ing of the defendant's being in custody at the above court, and now applied for the fare and his expenses, amounting in all to 11.35. 4d. The Major-General promised to pay the money, and the parties stepped out of court to agree to some arrangement between themselves. SHIP-STREET. Thomas Brooks, who stood charged with the wilful murder of William Gobart, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold for final examination. The prisoner appeared to be greatly affected at the painful position in which he was placed, and was allowed to remain seated during the proceedings. Two or three additional witnesses were now exa mined, but their evidence amounted to little more than a confirmation of the facts that have already been de tailed. A young girl, named Mary Jarvis, deposed that dur ing the alwrcation between the parties, shortly before the fatal occurrence, the deceased applied the most scur rilous epithets to the prisoner, and also struck him one or two violent blows about the head. The prisoner then rapidly retreated into his own house, and she heard the deceased remark, in answer to an observation from one of his companions, that if he had a knife about him he would stick the prisoner with it. Witness was so alarmed at his threats that she was hastening home when she heard the loud report of a gun, and on run ning into the passage fell over the body of the deceased . After some further evidence, of an unimportant cha racter, the Magistrate ordered the prisoner to be brought up again on Friday next for the formal completion of the depositions. SOUTHWARK. Mr. Philip Hay, the son of Major-General Hay, who was charged with obtaining goods under false pre tences from tradesmen in the district of this Court, and was liberated on bail, attended in compliance with the terms of his recognizance, to answer any charge which might be preferred against him. The accused was accompanied by his father, Major-General Hay. Mr. COTTINGHAM inquired whether there were any persons in attendance to make any charges against the accused ; that on the previous day he made him find sureties in consequence of a person named Brooker having stated that he not only obtained goods of various tradesmen under an assumed name, but had also plun dered his ready furnished apartments. He (the Magis trate) was therefore ready to hear any evidence which might be adduced against the accused, but that if parties were not in attendance, he should discharge him forthwith ; and if he was given into custody without just grounds by Brooker, ho had his remedy against that person. Brooker stood forward and said, that he apprised Mr. Sparrow, the brushmaker of Stamford-street, from whom the prisoner obtained a quantity of bristles under the assumed name of Commodore Henry, and promised a large order of the same description of article for the use of the navy ; but although that individual promised to be present at the examination, he was not in attendance. Mr. COTTINGITAM—Is the person present from whom, it was alleged the preceding day, the accused had plun dered articles out of his ready furnished apartment ? Brooker said, that he also notified to that party the fact of his having given the accused into custody, but still he did not appear. The prisoner inveighed against Brooker, and again declared that that person's only motive in giving him into custody was fur the purpose of extorting money from him. Mr. COTTINCIIA.M inquired how Brooker became ac quainted with the accused, and his reply was, that it was a most unfortunate acquaintance for him, that he met him casually. After some farther proceedings Mr. COTTINGHAM said, that there were no grounds for the accused's further detention, and that he was, there fore, discharged. The accused, however, was no sooner liberated than he was again taken into custody on a warrant granted from Bow-street, to which Court he was inemed►ately .aken. LAMBETH. Mr. John Glover, the owner and driver of one of the Peckham omnibuses, badge 1,047, and James Bagley, the driver of a Camberwell buss, badge 2,006, appeared to answer the charge of furious driving, on the morning of Sunday week. The cases were clearly established, and it appeared that Glover, in cutting in before, to impede his oppo nent, run his near wheels in the kennel, and dashed the mud about so as to completely besmear a gentleman who was going to enjoy himself in the country, but owing to the mishap was obliged to return to town. Mr. ELLIOTT convicted Glover in the penalty of 405., or fourteen days ; and Bagley 10s., or five days' impri sonment. MARCH 23, 1847.

Some days ago an affair of somewhat extraordinary character took place in Church-street, Lambeth, which has given rise to much gossip and scandal in that locality, and was at one time viewed as one of serious consequence. It appears that Mrs. Charlotte Lovelle, a female about 26 years of age, and the wife of a bargeman, had been ob-erved by her friends and neighbours to become gradually stout and stouter still, until no doubt what ever remained upon the minds of all that she was in that " happy state, " and would in due time bless her husband, John, with her first-born. Indeed, John himself peered as certain of this as any of his neighbours, for not only did his wife inform him of her delicate condition, but actually carried matters so far as. some weeks ago, to insist on his sleeping in a different bed. Mrs. Lovelle• also taxed the charitable disposi tion of several benevolent individuals in making pre parations for the happy event, and, amongst others, had called on the Rev. Mr. Dalton, rector of the parish of Lambeth, and son in law of the Bishop of London. and obtained from that Rev. Gentleman a letter to the " Lam beth Ladies' Society," from whom she got a box of baby linen, &c. Some days after she was noticed to be consi derably reduced iu size, and the question was naturally put to her what had become of the infant, and what she had done with the child? Her reply was that she had been delivered, but the infant was such a hideous-look ing monster, that she could not bear to look at it, and had, therefore, made away with it. Information of the sircumstance was givefi at the police station-house in High-street, Lambeth ; and police-constable Dixon, 85 L, was dispatched to make the necessary inquiries into the mysterious affair, which, if it did not amount to wil ful murder, was at least that of manslaughter. On going to the house, No. 35, in Church-street, Dixon found Mrs. Lovelle in bed, and in a very low and weak state ' • so much so that he felt it to be his duty at once to call in one of the medical gentlemen in the neighbourhood to see her. The gentleman promptly attended, and upon a cursory examination of the patient he expressed it as his opinion that she had certainly given birth to something. He also recommended, from the wretched appearance of the place, the absence of her husband, and the want of proper attendance, that she be at once removed to the workhouse, and this was done. Toe affair at this period wore a most suspicious ap pearance ; a formal report of all the circumstances was presented by Mr. Superintendent Rutt to the commissioners of police, and a cab in which Mrs. Lovelle took a short drive on the evening of her supposed delivery was anxiously sought after, and every effort was being made to discover the mangled remains of the unfortunate infant. In a day or two a female named Connor, in turning over the bed in Mrs. Lovelle's room, discovered something sewn up in a piece of white calico, which, from its size and appear ance, she at once concluded to be the body of the missing infant. She in consequence hastened to the station-house for Dixon, the constable, and on the arrival of that officer, she presented the bundle in the same state as she found it. Dixon at once undid the covering, or rather cut it open, and found its contents to be what he conceived to be the body of a child, though somewhat extraordinary in its shape and appearance. Dixon refolded it in the wrapper, and carried it to the station-house, and informed Inspector Carter, who was on duty at the time, that he had discovered the body of the child, or something very like it. He then exhibited the body of the child, as be had described the contents of the parcel to Mr. Carter, when that experienced officer, after viewing it attentively for a moment or two, exclaimed, " The body of a child, indeed ! why, it's nothing but a - old cat skinned, don't you see his teeth ?" Such, however, was the noise that the affair created, that the inspector thought it prudent to have the parcel as found conveyed to the workhouse to be seen by the medical men, who might perhaps deem it necessary to have a coroner's inquest. This, however, was deemed unnecessary, for after a minute examination the body was found to be that which . Mr. Carter described it, namely, that of a dead cat; but skinned and dressed in such a manner as certainly to puzzle many at the first glance to discover what it was. The tail was not only cut perfectly close to the back bone, but covered over with a part of the flesh, so as to remove all trace of the stump, and the stumps of the ears and the head itself were hollowed down so as to bring it as near the human shape as possible. The teeth alone exhibited the proof of the animal, and had these been drawn before it had been discovered under the bed there is no knowing the ludicrous length the affair might have been carried. Mrs. Lovelle has since ac. knowledged that the cat was a favourite old tom belong.- ing to her landlady, and that she had killed, skinned, and dressed it herself, but what her real motive was has not transpired. THAMES. Charles Frinkish, acarpenter, about thirty years of age, was charged with the wilful murder of Samuel Salter, a porter, of Leadenhall Market. The prisoner is a tall and thin man, and appeared to be much affected at the situation in which he was placed. The first witness called was Robert Salter, the de ceased's uncle, who stated that the prisoner was residing at 14, London-terrace, Commercial-road. He knew nothing of the circumstances which led to the death of his nephew, except what the prisoner told him. On Sunday morning last the prisoner called upon witness, and stated that be came home on Saturday morning, about one o'clock, and that he was informed by a police-constable that he had had a good deal of trouble with the deceased,' who lived in the same house. An altercation took place between them, and the de ceased threatened to strike the prisoner, who said, " No, you will not," on which the deceased instantly struck him. A struggle and fierce contest then ensued be tween them, and they fought several rounds in the par lour, kitchen, and in the passage. They both went to their separate rooms, after they had done fighting, and retired to rest. Shortly after the prisoner went into the deceased's bed-room, and they fought again for some time in the dark, and broke a table. The prisoner re turned to his own bed, and on the following morning when he got up he went to the deceased's bed-room, and asked him how he was. The deceased said, " Oh, Frank, you have done for me." He was then bleeding profusely, and the prisoner immediately called in Mr. Dale, a surgeon. The deceased was conveyed to the London Hospital, but he did not remain there long. In the afternoon the prisoner again took the deceased to the hospital. Mr. YARDLEY asked the witness if the statement made by the prisoner was a voluntary one. The witness said it was.
