ITALIAN OPERA. Tee opera of "La Traviata," announced in the I bills for perfi nuance last evening, with the induce ment of Piccoloniini as Violetta, had the effect, of course, of ensuring a crowded house. But, in addition, the cast of parts, as advertlsed, in cluded Giugdai as Aifredo, Belletti Geo,gio judi cious and signor Rossi as Il Dottore, with a judi cious accasion of artistes for the accessory charac ters. Thus there is less to wonder at in the enor mously crowded audience which on this occasion filled to overflowing every compartment of the house in boxes, pit, and gallerie, even ti there mutest angle. Since the time of ihe Jenny Lind furore—with the exceptions, perhips, of one or two benefit night , ; of est , erutc Ilaye—Our memory ' and experience—and they ere of no recent date as regards theatric statistics in Dublin—do not enable us to real so decisive and splendid a manifestat:on of popular admiration and regard as that which was evinces' laet night towards the youthful actress ens! vocalist whose genius has become inseparably united with the romantic sentiment and poetic be tuty of the-opera of "La Travia a," and whose bold inno cence has asserted and sustained its dramatic inte rest, despite of what may be called its faulty morale and reprehens ble tendency. It has been the for tune of "La Traviata" to be executed by admirable singers whenever and wherever it has been pro duced in those countries. It was once performed at Exeter-hall by first-rate English vocalists. So much for its mere music; but, as regards its pre sentation on the operatic stage, where costum s, scenic effects, and dramatic genius have been made accessory to its success, no piece comprised in the repertoire of modern opera has been received with such enthusiasm by the music-loving public. But whenever it has triumphed we and "La Piccolo mini" identified with its most brilliant successes. She has supported the character of heroine of this piece on various occasions. She has had associated with her as personatin g oth er l ea di ng p ar t s , M ar i o , C a l zo l ar i,. and other vocal celebrities, but it has been the good fortune of Signor Giuglini to aid her in producing with fullest success those electric effects which have marked her recent triumphs in the part of Violetta. Sig. Giuglini, though yet young as an opera singer, has given abundant proofs of transcendent power and consummate taste. As a vocalist he possesses the rare faculty of adapta , ion, in suiting his glori ous voice to toe calibre and peculiarities of tlie so prano who interprets with him the hal moree b-au ties of an opera perfor mance. This happy gift of his was remarkable last evening in the duetto passages with the young prima donna. But before we speak of him, magnificent though he is as a tenor singer, we must give the pas t b " La Piccolomini," whose reception by the audience was quite an event in the history of the theatre season in Dublin. In the first place, the aspect of the interior of the house re minded one of the old times when Catalani drew her thousands every night, and when enthusiastic opera goers fought their way through struggling crowds to gain a view and hear the notes of the fair song stress. In latter days, as we have said, a night of Jenny Lind's engagement might be likened to yes terday evening as regarded crowded seats and blocked up entrances. The Lord Lieutenant with a large party arrived early, and occupied the private viceregal box and the compartment adjoining. The dress circle was as splendid as full dressed beauty, rank, and fashion could make it, and in every part of the house every foot of available space seemed occupied. Let our readers imagine one unanimous and enthusiastic burst of cheering from such an as semblage, and taking into account the sudden rising from their seats of the audience, the waving of hats and handkerchiefs, &c., some idea may be formed of the ovation which greeted La Piccolo mini as she came forth in the character of Violetta. The reception accorded to Signer Giuglini was scarcely less enthusiastic. It would ba but repeat in: a tin Lie-told tale were we to recapitulate in de• tail the several solo gems of this opera wherein Madlle. P ccolomiui achieved signal triumph. Her version of her part ef the Briudis: I I_ ibiamo," was remarkable for sparkling beauty of musical diction and fluid melody. It did not tax in the least the powers of her voice, which seemed to flow from her lips almost independent of her will in succeeding gushes of harmony. We pass over her singing of the aria "Sempre Libera," and other songs, in which she was loudly encored, and come at once to the third and last acts, wherein her genius as an actress, and her taste as a vocalist were most remarkable. In the scena with Georgio (Signor Belletti), the father of her lover, nothing could be finer than her conception and interpretation of the romantic idea of a loving, high-souled, and warm-hearted girl, sacri ficing her dearest hopes—her very life, to ensure the happiness of the father and sister of him she loves, alas, too desily. Her relinqAishment of hopes fondly cherished was told with deep pathos in the "Addle del Passa' o," and her sacrifice cf self beauti fully portrayedin the aria "Dite al giovanae," but we feel it difficult, indeed, to give by mere description a just notion of the beauty of her singing or of the truth and force of her acting in the dying scene. Those who were not present can form no concep tion of the all absorbing interest of this scene, and they who were witne-ses of it will need no reminder of ours to revive these impressions. It need scarcely be added that the applause was tremendous. Every opportunity was seized for an encore, and, in short, if ever we witnessed a furore amongst an opera audience, it was on this occasion. Signor Giuglini shared with itte gifted prima donna • the applause of the evening. His magnificent volee was heard to the fullest advantage in the tenor solos of Alfredo's part. We will just take one speci men, and one only, of his solo vocalism—the aria "Da Mei bollenti spiriti." In this song the very spirit of music seemed to float on the air. The encore was accompanied by tremendous applause. We may also speak of his "Par gi o care,' as it is party a duetto. It was given with exquisite sweetness. In all, Signor Giuglini hid a perfect triumph. Signor Bellatti, as Georgic, GAtmont, gave the " Pura siceome n amgelo," and indeed the en ire music of his difficult part, with all the brilliancy of his fine voice, and with all the taste and judgment for e 'rich he is so justly distin guished. Maine. Puma, as Flora, had a light part to sustain, but she supported it tastefully and well. Signors Rossi and Mercuriali personated the other prominent parts with skill and judgment, giving the music its just effect. The choruses evidenced good preparation and judicious rehearsal. The voices went admirably together. The performance of the band reflected fresh credit on its leader, Mr. R. M. Levey, who is an cathusiast in securing effective instrumentation. At the close of the opera another scene of excitement ensued. Medlle. Piccolom ni was led forth by Signors Giuglini and Belletti, and was hailed with demonstrations of public a.dniira tion and appl tuse, such as an :Irish and :one) alone can render impressive and eloquent. Signor Giuglini also received his share of enthusiastic ap plause. The fair donna and talented "prime teitore" seemed to for , " deeply the high compliment pail thorn.—Dublin Freeman's Journal, Oct. 15.

Some new principles to he applied in the con struction of ir..n ships of the, largest size, fro - n which it is antieipeted thq the le:1 measure of advantage will be reelised from' their employment in long lines of navigation, are laid down in apatent grant , . to their, ieventer, Mr. John Clare, jun., of Liverpool, and are admirably illustrated in a model of a vessel on the new construction, which is now attracting considerable attention among shipowners and others at Lloyd's Register Office, White Lion court, Cornhill. Mr. Clare proposes to construct large iron steam ships in a manner,analagous to the Gre d Eastern, but, to avoid R00143_ disc lvantages which ho conceives to arise from the form, arrange meet, and connection of certain parts of that vessel. As in the Great Etstern, he proposes to have an inner and an out shell, each formed of wrought iron plates, but these are to be kept apart by longi tudinal ribs of II iron, at the distance of 9in. in stead of 2f;. 10in. So large an interval between the inner and outer shells of the ship very consider ably reduces her capacity for tonnage for the sake of gaining in buoyancy—a sacrifice which he deems to be unnecessary. Bp overlapping.' the plates on the flanges of the H metal, riveting through four thickeesse , , and introducing a system of diagon. it trussing in all the tills of the side, a structure of such immense strength will be produced that in the strongest sea-way it is expected that it would act as if the whole ship were made in one single piece.. The strength of the fabric will be:still further pro moted by the ordinary sectional bulk-heads, all of which are of the firmest construction, and stiffened by flanges of T iren. With regard to the form of the hull, Mr. Clare aims at. reducing the resistance of the water to a minimum. In vessels of the best construction no wave ought to be moved forward under the bows, as a portion of the moving force is necessarily expended upon it, and Mr. Care con ceives it to be quite possible to prevent this incon venience, by giving a sufficient li,t3llow to the sides to form a channel; by which the water that would otherwise be gathered up, and carried forward with the ship, is allowed to flow aft. Having got past the greatest section, the rin receives such a form as ea aides it to direct the steam upon the rudder more per pendicularly, whereby a grea'nedirecting power is given to the wheel. The principle upon which Mr. Cl tre determines the thwart sections of the bows is, that they should be circular arcs , or radii gra dually decreasing from the stem, and having their convexities turne:l towards midships. By this ar rangement he expects, that when, the maximum point of resistance bst*een the loan-water line and 04,1 ght-water lino would be ohteined, under ordi nary c'rcumstances, a vessel on his principle would not be retarded by the cause against which it pro vides. Mr. Ciare adds a strong keel, of simple construction, to the hid!, and introduces a system of flooring, of immense strength, in the lower por tions. The bunkers are on either side, and the coals being taken from them in equal proportions, the vertical position of the midship sections re mained unaltered. The vessel is to be I,oooft long, loft broad, and 30ft in depth. These are the prin cipal features of Mr. Clare's invention, the value of which must of course be decided by actual experi ment. They have so far, however, obtained the wancti le of nautical archit.cts, and should the ideas of the inventor be confirmed on trial, it is easy to see that an immense improvement will have been wrought in mamm ,th ship building. The very least that can b 3 said is, that it is certainly worth the country's while to try any experiment which appears at all feasible, and the success of which would place this great mercantile country in the closest possible proximity with the remotest por tions of the globe. With the experience of the past before us, it would be perhaps presumptuous to look for muoh wsistanes on the part of the Govern ment ; but when we consider those events on die stant shores which now abs-Irb the minds of all, it is not to be supposed that those who hold the reins of power can altogether turn a deaf ear to proposals which, if carried out, might enable them to trans plant an army sound and healthy in condition, with all the appliances and provisions of war, within a space of 30 days, to the banks of the Ganges.

(Before, Mr. dies, Q .C., at s tir.) Guilclhal!, Wcst• minster.) At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr. Maudr., thy deputy-clerk of the peace for the county, stated that Colonel Vaugha , ), the clerk of the peace for the City and Liberty of Westminster, had re signed that office, and the resit nation had been accepted by the Lord-Lieutenant. The The right which the Middlesex Criminal Justice Act had conferred upon Colonel Vaughan, as clerk of the peace for the city of Westminster, of executing the office of clerk of the peace s the county, when the sessions were held in Westminster, had ceased in conse quence of his resignation, and the whole of the duties had devolved upon Mr. Heaton Ellis, the clerk of the peace for the county, whose represen tative he (Mr. Maude) was. This statement was ordered to be entered upon the minutls of the court. John Cox was indicted for embezzling the sum of 1/. received by him on account of his InAster. Mr. W. J. Payno prosecuted ; Mr. Sleigh ap peared for the prisoner. The prosecutor was Mr. Raisell, a piano-forte manufacturer in Brook-strest, New-road, and the ch irge against the prisoner was that he received 161. from a lady named Atherton, on account of a piano, and represented that he had received but 151. The receipt for the 16/. in his own handwrit ing', was produced. The jury found him guilty, and Mr. Bliss sen touced him to Fix months' hard labour. Thos. Chandler was indicted for stealing a quan tity of oats, the property of Michael Robinson. Mr. Hawthorn prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh de fend e 1. The question in this case was, whether the pri soner—who was in the service of the prosecutor, a farmer, at Heston—secreted a sack of oats in his waggon with the intention of stealing .or for the purpose of feeding his hones. Mr. S!eigh addressed th 3 jury in support of the later view of the matter, and The prisoner was acquitted. Mark Spain, a journeyman butcher, was indicted for stealing a piece of meat, value ls., the property of his master, a butcher named named Broom bridge, and John Roberts, a coffee-stall keeper, was indict,ed for receiving the same feloniously. Mr. Talfourd Salter prosecuted ; Mr. Ribton ap peared for Mr. Roberts, instructed by Mr. Gillam. The evidence made out the case against Spain, but failed as to Roberts, who was acquitted. Spain was convicted, and sentenced to two months' hard labour. (Before Mr. Creasy.) riZOTHEL PBOSBCUTIONS.

Upon conviction they were sentenced as follows :—Preston (who was also brought up for judgment, under recognisance, for a former conviction) to four months, White to two months, Raoul to five months, Matilda Birch to one month, Reveilchien to one month, and Harrington to two months' hard labour. Abraham Harris and Ann Harris also pleaded guilty to keepingasimilar house in Leicester-street, LAcester-square.

Allen) ; Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Cooper, instructed by Mr. Humphreys, appeared for the Harrisos ; Mr. Sleigh, by Mr. Lewis, for Preston. Robert Wilby, Robert Woodman and Neal Wood man were indicted for assaulting Joseph Thomp son, an officer of the sheriff of Middlesex, in the execution of his duty. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Poland prosecuted ; Mr. Tindal Atkinson, instructed by Mr. Wakeling, for the defendants. There was a cross indictment in this cise, in which the prosecutor of the other was charged w i th an assault upAs the defendants. The facts shortly ware these : Thompson went with a sheriff's warrant to arrest Wilby, who kept the Mother Shipton public-house in the Prince of Wales'-road, Camden-town. He stated that he went in, when Wilby, whom he had previously known, and had seen outside the house just before he went in, was leaving the bar parlour by a side door, although Mrs. Wilby and the younger Woodman, her brother, bad said he was in the country. He produced his warrant, and followed Wilby—when he was obstructed by the Woodmans, and some females—he was struck, and his coat torn to rags. He, however, captured Wilby at a house, a short distance off ; but he was again assaulted, and Wilby got away, but was afterwards taken on an escape warrant, and had since become a bankrupt. For the defence it was ail'ged that Thompson, in the first instance, ar rested the defendant Woodman, in mistake for Wilby, although Thompson swore he bad previously known him personally—that he was really the aggressor—and used ♦iolent and threatening lan guage. This Thompson had denied in cross-erami nation. After a long investigation, in which evi dence was given on both sides, the defendants in both indictments were acquitted. POLICIA INTELLIGENCE.—_Oct. 16. • MANSION -HOUSE.—William Sutton,lWilliam King, and Patrick Collins, very small boys, were charged, before Alderman Cubitt, with having robbed a lady of her purse. Aliehael Hayden, the detective officer, said— Yesterday morning, about one o'clock, I saw the prisoners opposite the Bank of England watching different ladies out. They followed one lady up Cornhill to the corner of Gracechnrch street, and then one went in front of her, another behind her, and the thi r d on b er r i ght side. Sut t n placed both his hands beside the lady's dr as, having a coat over his arm to conceal his hand. She felt him, forced her way by them, and they left her. I followed them for nearly two hours along Fen church-street, Leadenhall-street, Gracechurch street, and King William-street. At 3 o'clock a lady was passing along, King William-street, and outside a shop there was a crowd, and the three prisoners got round her. Sutton put his hand to her dress, aed he then withdrew it, and all three walked 'quickly away. I spoke to the lady, gave her certain directions, and went after the prisoners through Moneta) at-yard into Pudd ng l ane , w h ere I found them sittling under a gateway and dividing some money. I waited until they left that place, and then followcd them to the corner of Eastcheap. Collins and King tossed with a shilling folsome thing, and the formerappareutly lost, for he pulled cut a purse, which I produce, and gave it to King, who put it in the waistband of his trousers. I gut assistance from two gentlemen who were pas4ng, and took the prisoners into a plumber's shop. Col lins put some silver into his mouth, and with some difficulty I got ss. 6d. out of his mouth. On King I found a five-shilling piece and a purse, on Sutton a half-crown, a florin, and 2s. I took the prisoners to the station-house. I afterwards saw the lady, and in censequeuce of a communicatien with her, I went back to the gateway in Pudding-lane and there I found a portion of a first-class Greenwich Railway ticket, and opposite I found, torn up into smell piece., three parts of a first-class railway. ickets of she same company-. Mrf. Nada, of London-street, Greenwich, said that she had come by rail from Greenwich, on Weleesday, with some ladie4, and lost her purse, containing about 17s. 6d., and three and a half re turn tickets of the company. She identified the purse, for which no doubt, two of the prisoners had tossed in the street, and the tickets as her property. Sutton said, " We are guilty," and the other two nodded in acquiescence, but upon being informed that the ewe was one of teo serious a nature to be disposed of anywhere except at the Old Bailey, they said, "No, we are not guilty." The prisoners were then committed for trial. The Lord Mayor requested that the press would acknowledge the receipt of Bs. for the poor-hoe, from Mr. Rough, the foreman of the jury at the Secandaries' Court, being the fees received by them for attendance on two trials at that court. CLERKENWELL—Richard Geniis, a dirty, ill-coniiitiJned looking f,llow, about 18 years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with setting fire to a cowshed, at 46, Mid dl. sx-street, Somers-town, the property of Mr. Thomas Harris. Mr. L wis appeared for the prosecution. The premises in which the fire commenced were abut seven months since burned and. seven valu able cows destroyed. Although there could be no doubt that the fire was caused by an incendia• y, no one was apprehended for it, yet strong suspicions were entertained. Since then the prisoner has been in custody on the charge of committing a rape cn a little girl of weak intellect, but although Mr. Sii:.lling, the divisional surgeon of the S division, pioved that violence hf..d been used, Mr. Corrie discharged the prisoner on the ground that no one knew anything of the matter but the girl. The lint witness called was ..,..••••••,‘ WV EN,/ Mr. Thornai Harris, who said—l am the occupier of part of the yard at the rear of 46, Middlesex street, Somers-town. About four o'clock on the afternoon of the Gth inst. I SAW some hay in flames in the yard. The flames were not in my shop. SATURDAY FIVENrrNfI OC!OBER 17. 1857 Three trusses were on fire out of 36. At the time of the fire I saw the prisoner five minute.z. before in the yard. I ordered the prisoner out of the yard before the file bigen, and from the tmo I ordered him off and the fire commpricing I .saw any one else on the premises. 1 said I would kick the prisoner off the steps if he dif no', leave the yard. Mr& Verdon said—l am a houskeeper, and live at 46, Middlesex-street. I remember the day of the fire. Between half-past three and four I saw the prisoner psss my kitchen window. When I saw him was after the cowmen had ordered him out of the yard. Between the time when the fire c ,m -menced, and the prisoner had been ordered out of the yard, I saw no one else but the prisoner on the premises. No one else had b,en near the place except the prisoner and a little girl who went to feed the fowls, an , l who screamed as soon as she got ou.side : _ . _ William Wright said—l am a cowman; and work on the premises in which the fire commenced. I have known the prsonLr about th e y ar d. I saw him on the day iu question, and I said, " Dick, you must go away, the governor says you must." The prisoner said, " You need not be so bounce abb., you won't be here long 1" I asked him for what reason, and he said, " That is my business." At that time the hay in the cowhouse was perfectly safe, I having just fed the cattle. A few minutes afterwards the prisoner came to my window, knocked and said, " You are wanted." Wh e n I got out of doors the prisoner said, " There is a fire," but did not say where. He did not go to the fire that I was aware of. The hay that was burnt was a portion of 36 trusses that had been had in that day. The place where the fire was, was at the back of the whole of the hay, and between the hay and the wall. Charlotte Hedges said—l am ten years of age, and cannot read or write. Ido not go to school. I do know that it would be wrong of me to tell a lie. On Tuesday week I remember seeing some hay on fire in the cow-shed. I then called Mr. Harris. I had not been near the hay myself, nor had 1 a light or lucifers in the yard. I SAW the prisoner in the yard not a quarter of an hour be fore the fire broke out. There was no one else but the prisoner in titte yard from the•lme the cowman left until the fire broke out. Police-constable John Cook, 198 S, said, said— I took the prisoner into custody on the day of the firo about five o'clock. I told him he was charged with setting fire to Mr. Harris's premises. He said, "It was not me, it could not be me ; I have not been in the yard all day." On the road to the station he said, " There were some children in the yard. I could not have set fi , e to the yard for I have got no lucifers." Just as I was going to search him at the station he pulled off his jacket and waist coat, and attempted to tear his waisbcoat up. In his jacketpocket I found four heifers. Prisoner said, "I did not know that I had got them." The lucifers were perfect, but not very clean. I have examined the cowshed where the fire was. Part of the hay burnt was on the wall side of the shed, and a person must have climbed over the whole trusses to get at this spot. The rest of the hay was perfectly dry, and had been bought on that day. Thera can be no doubt that if the fire had not been at once discovered the shed and dwelling-house would have been burnt down. The prisoner in defence said—l know nothing about the matter. I helped them out with the hay when the fire was at its highest, and then I fetchel the 01l gentleman. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner to the Central Criminal Court for trial. WORSHIP-STREER_M r . Henry Hunt, of Waltham cross, Essex, appeared to a summons, in which he was ch arge d with unlawfully b rought, and used upon, the E as t ern Counties Railway, or a part thereof, a certain locomotive engine, without hav ing first obtained a certificate of approval from the engineers or other authorised agents of the com pany, whereby he had rendered himself liable to a penalty of 20/. Mr. Tindal Atkinson, instructed by Mr. Hughes, from the office of Messrs. Crowder and Maynard, solicitors to the co mpany, con d uc t e d th e prosecu tion ; and Mr. Robinson appeared as counsel for the defence. A Lumber of witaaesses, consisting of guards, signal men, and othe r servan t s o f t h e company, proved that between 8 and 9 o'clock on the even ing of the Ist instant a strange engine suddenly made its appearance on the branch line at Hackney Wick. It proceeded along the railway, until it was finally lost sight of at the Barking station. At each station wrong signals were given by the persons in charge of the engine, who displayed such entire ignorance as to the times End other essential arrangements of the company that it was found necessary more than once to shift the engine on to the sidings for the prevention of a collision with the regular passenger trains. On its arrival at Barking the defendanf, who was recognised on the engine, was questioned by an i ns p ec t or on d u ty a t that place, to whom he stated that he was about to work coils on the linP, for which he had obtained the necessary certificate from the manager and secretary. will Am lan, the locomotive foreman at Strat ford, deposed to a comers ttion which took place between him and Mr. Hunt on the morning of the Ist inst., in:the course of which witness cautioned him as to the necessity of possess i ng hi mse l f of the time tables, and other regulations of the company, to ensure the safe workin g of his engine between the trains, when the defendant replied, "They myway, an d not out of theirs." Robinson, the su p er i n ' en d en t o f th e must m r Jameseep out of coaching department, who was examined in re ference to the dangerous consequences whiclmight ignorance of the the line, stated that have existing res u a l r t r c a d n from geme t u lle s d u e p fe o n n d the passenger trams to North Woolwich amounted to eight within the hour, besides which their were extra special trains running, 'which were not noticed in the tine tables. Mr. Blackburn Owen, the railway secretary, st ttEd that it was part of its duty to supply certifi cates. He authorised the use of private engines on the lines, and the defendant had repeatedly applied for one, but it had certainly not been granted to him. Mengineer, ez atninrion gave similar evidence but that he had in spectAl the engine, and had aub sequ9n tl y i n f orme d aramSiiititceldaiin' the truss the defendant that he had made a favourable ro port regiectiusz it to the managing director. After some observations from the defendant's coun,el. Mr. ilammill expressed his d ec id e d op i n i on that it was a case for conviction, but as h e cons id ere d i t to be prob,thle, after the evidenc e o f th e eng i neer, that the d fondant had acted under an erroneous impression that he would be justified in working his engine upon the railway, he should exercise his were discretion in reduc:ng the pen a l'y to W., together wi , h the costs, which assessed at 121. 9s. 6d. The defendant immediately h an d e d i n a c h eque for the amount. SOUTHWARK.—Ann Monk, A nurse in St. Thomas's Hospital, was brought before Mr. Combo charged with being drunk in one of the wards, and assaulting James smith, one of the portere. The complainant stated Viat on the previous afternoon he receivel information that the prisoner was drunk in Abraham Wa'd, and on proceeding there he saw that she was extremely violent and attacking one of the patientr. Witness went to remove her, when she snatched up a knife and swo:e she would stab him. He, however, suc ceeded in taking it from her, and he then gave her into custody. In answer to the charge the prisoner said she had a drop of something with a frit n'l, and when she got in the ward ore of the patients insulted her. Smith Caine up at the time, and in her pas sion she pushed a ga i nst hi m, but she had no inten tion of using the knife. Mr. Combs asked whether she had been trouble some before ? Sin th replied in the negative, but her conduct was exceedingly viol en t ; besides that, her attack ing a patient was very bad. Mr. Combe fined her Os., and in default of pap taunt committed her for a month. THAMES.—Emma Middleton, a woman about 25 years of age, and rather good looking, was brought Lefore Mr. S —ee, charged, on her own confe aim, with the wilful murder of a newly-born child, at Brighton, about seven months ago. The prisoner appeared greatly agitated, sobbed audibly and f requently while and the case was proceeding, and R oc h e, the gaoler of the court, stood alongside of h er d uring the investigat i on. Inspector Griffin, of the K division, said he took the prisoner into cu s t o d y that day at ' lO o'clock, at No: 10, Mount-terracs, Whitechapel-road, in con sequence of information, and read the following statement to her wh . ch she had previously made to a gentleman nam e d R u , se ll :—" H. di v i s i on, Leman-street stati on, October 15, 1857—Mr. W. J. Russell, of th e R escue Society for Fallen Femal es ( a dd ress 1 1, Poultry), came to the station t )-day and st a t e d that a female of the above el iss, named E mma Middleton, at Mr. Spink' s Females' Hom e , IVl ount-terrace, New-road, White chapel, made th e following staten:ent to him on the 2d instant :—That seven months ago she was in a gentleman's family at Brighton, when the cook, her fellow- servant, gave birth to a child about one o'clock in th e morning, and asked her to assist her to kill it. The mother put her hand over its mouth, and she tied a handkerchief over its mouth, while she (the prisoner) tied a handkerchief round its neck and strangled it. She then wrapped it up in a cloak and carried it to the seashore, and threw it into the sea. - Afterwards she met a man by appointment, about two the same morning, and during the timo rihe was fait with hith, t'i r). cook removed all traces of what had happened, and a,bseondA and was not heard of afterwards. There was a great noise in the morning about the siok bong missing, and sine (the prisoner) wanted to leave also, but her master would not allow her to do so, and made her s'ay a month longer. The prisoner state I that she had been in great agony of mind ever since, for the eyes of that child were always looking at her, and exclaimed, Oh God ! lam a murderer, and am undone for ever." Inspector Griffin said, that when he had finished sealing the statement, he asked the prisoner if it was true, and if she had made that statement To which she replied, " I did ; it is all true." Mr. Selfe—You found her in a house for fallen females who wish to reform ? Inspector Griffin—l did, sir. Mr. Selfe—Was the prisoner calm and collected when she said th© statement was quite true, and that she Made it. Inspector Gliffin—Yes, sir. She was quite col lected. Mr. William John Russell said he WAS missionary agent to the Society for the Rescue of Young Women and Children. The st , ttment read by the inspector was made by the prisoner to him. The prisoner came from the Dover Probationary Asy lum to the a;yluna in Mount-street, three weeks ago. - Mr. Selfe—lt is right for me to state that you came to me and asked my advice on the subject of this young woman's confession. Mr. Russell—Yes, sir, and you kindly gave me advice how to act. Mr. Selfe asked the inspector of police if the pri soner had given him any farther particulars, or divulged the name of the gentleman in whose family she had lived at Brighton ? Inspector Griffin—No, sir ; I asked her the name of the gentleman in whose service she was, and the name of the cook who Oie alleged assisted in the murder, and she would not tell me, and said "I shill not trouble you long in this world, and I will say no more about it at all." She ex claimed several times that she would commit suicide. Mr. Selfe asked Mr. Russell if there was reason to believe that the prisoner was labouring under a delusion ? Mr. Russell—l should say not. She was very ill and feverish when she made the statement to me, but quite collected. Inspector Griffin said the prisoner complained of Mr. Russell giving information to the police. Mr. Selfe—He was bound to do it. Let her be well looked after. I will remand her for a weeic, and you will in the meantime communic.ttra with the Brighton police.
