The report prOceeded next to the ;Conway School-ship; and he alluded to the ciitcetst oi l that great "experfritent with nautili *satisfaction; he had taken a very'deep interest In it at. iii tio.

(Applause.) The interest of those boys whowcre committed to their charge would be promoted both morally, religiously, and olticationally r and—as was too often the ease with boys that were sent td, sea-they . , would net be turned cut 'upon the world without 'knowledge aril withcnitiingerit&nding. tit Ari bear.)_ The ship Conway, Ithcl teen supplied ty ,the elec•tien of Captain ‘Tudkins . - - to il'.acing hini upon the committee, they had Pa : id * , Very, deserved compliment, though not. a coutpliment coal to that gentleman's 'merits. It would be faint praise indeed of him (the chairman) to say anything of the merits of 'Captain Judkins. ' He had been a sincere promoter Of the' Conway_ School-ship from its. commencement ; and they conceived-that a 'gentleman, Without eieeption one of the ablest seamen that had ever : crossed .the Atlantic, was one - of - the fittest people they could place on the committee of that establishment. -(Applause.) There wit one very finpor tant question, in which he, had no doubt tYail 'the Mercantile Marine Service Association took a groat interest 4 ,vbieit did not appear upon their proceedings that day; hat he thought it 'gas right they shottld notice Thb Bock Board, of which he was a member, had aPtented an examining committee, fir the purpose of ,ere.riting licenses to masters and officers of the Stearn-vessels, to enable them to act as pilots. Now, he was - Muth surprised that, • although that committee , had been appointed far a length of time, not a single individual of the service had applied to be examined. ,He did not know what the feeling might be amongst those gentlemen; but he•tilmost apprehended that it arose irom some such feeling as might have existed when tho old Ptiots . Ccintfitittee Was in existence"-, that they would not have a fair chance it they came to be examined. Now, he could assiltc..thein---tind he believed he spoke the sentiments of the conimitkeet—that every facility would be given to the- gentletnen Who presented themiseives for examination; and MI hoped that this boon would be appre ciated. `(licar, hear.); , The report alluded to missions to seaman. Those:- missions imd assumed" a *nil& usefulness, mainly by the-exertions of Mr. Bushell and 'others during the past year, and he called upon all to aid in :iiiitprerr- ing the moral' and religious ;position of the spaniel-I - . -ins satisfactory to find that the increase in the Meillnih tit the association had been going to to kS.AiIrY eitent.

(Applause.) I Atli Sure we should be delighted if Mr. Hersfall would addrtts to the members of this association a few words UrlYch this' interesting occasion (applause), and I therefdrc 'cull upon him. ' _ • Mr, Ronsraix, 'who was received with considerable applause, said ; Mr. Chairman, I beg to assure, you and the meeting that it is to.me . g great:pleasure to have the oppOrtul nity of attending here to-day. , I quite sympathise frith my absent colleague, to whom, I Am tart; it would alto have been a great pleasure bad it been in his toiVer ‘ - ,o be rresent ; and I hope our respected seetetaty not; think I am passing vote of censute ilp6ni hit if I suggest that for the fntnre we receive a little longer notice. (Laughter.) I only received my notice cf this meeting last. evening, and if it had so happened that I had been absent from town, : I of course could not have been here. I felt a great pleasure in having listened to the very practical observations which have been made by the mover aad-seconder of the report. And lam sure that,you will agree with me that, situated as I am at this inonacnt, as a member of that committee of the House of Commons appointed to consider the whole question of our mercantile MArine, I feel ' a great difficulty M CoMmitting Myself to any of the senti -ments contained in that report--net that I must I* supposed for one moment to dissent from theta, but 1 aiu sure you will see the impropriety, at this inoraent, of my expressing any very decided opinion ttpon them. There are, however, one or two points alluded to upon which I can feel no tlifff ulty, esee • yiany ate one pointing out the necessity of making some adequate provision for the maintenance and support cf old worn-out and disabled ecamen. (Cheers.) This, I think, must commend itself, not only to every one 'connected with our mercantile marine, ' brit to every one endowed with the feelings of huinanity. (Hear, hear.) .We know what a class of thoughtless beings seamen are. We know that no Sooner are they landed than their money in most cases is squandered; am afraid tnsay it, but at the same time it is too true—that the seamen of the present day are not equal to the seamen of tht past day. (Hear, hear.) I say that not froth any Opinion of nay own, but it i•T'an opinion formed from that Whith has teen given before the House of Commons, by those who are much more compe tent to•fornran opiniontipbri the subject. There is a reference 'here, sir, to steps being taken to obtain an international rule Of the_roael and of lights at sea. "At present," it states, " the rules of many nations differ from our own, and are the causes of serious disasters." That is also a point upon Which, I think, there could be no difference of opinion, and it is a point on which I cannot suppose for a moment that he committee ofthe House of Coonnons can hesitate to recommend, that some very deeidid itep6 should be taken.. (Applause.) The great difficulty aboat it win be in getting' nations to agree %atm ; the precise nature of the regulations which shall effect an vessels at sea. At : present, as has. been stated, the rules 'and' regulations of ararioasmations differ, and there iealways a die- . inclination to give up : a rule which has prevailed; butas to the propriety of the thing, there cannot be a second opinion, The chairman made some admirable observations -with regard to the Conway. I think that establishment reflects the higheit eredit,,npon.the Mercantile Marine Association which origi nated it; and I cannot forget at the same tithe the debt whit& -we owe to Sir John Pakington, as:First Lord cifthe Admiralty, for so handsomely placing the ship at our disposal., I lione, - eir, this is merely the precursor of further efforts • for we _ must remember that the Manning - Commissioners appointed by he. ,Majesty's Government, recommended that twelve ships should be placed in the twelve principal ports of the kingdoni 'to carry out the very object which yeti:have been carrying,* in the, Conway. ,(Hear, hear.) Now, Sr, think it is not, .only a very deeirable.object, but it . pays a great compliment to those, gentlemen in Liverpool who originated the establish ment. (Hear, hear.) Sir, Mr. Sproule, 'Sour, chairman, has alluded to his evidence before' the committee. Now, sir, I believe it was very good fortune, or rather I should,say I had -the honour of being in the chair on the occasion when Captain sproule 'wag examined ; and I will not pay unnecessary com- , pliraents in his presence to him; but I must say this, that I - felt justly proud of the gentleman you had sent up to repre sent you. (Applause.) ' His ,evidence was given in the most ,Straightforward and practical manner. It was the evidence of, `A man who knew what he was speaking about. (Hear, hear.). I know that I am speaking not only - my own Sentiments but those . of the 'poinmittee. (Loud.applause.) The only subject of regret which L, had, was that, ,a circumstance occurred—some little misunderstanding as to the arrange-: inents of the committee, which prevented another gentleman whom you deputed to go from'being heard. stilLhope, ii the; evidence shnirld - not be tOoprotraeted, the committee may haste the benefit of hearing . ..Cap:l6i Piston's evidence. Mr. Sproule spoke more .in reference to past. experience; Captain': Paton can speak more,; I understand, on' the present state of the mercantile marine. Now, sir, Captain Sproule, in his observe:dont, alluded to the taking of seamen -out of vegels in fpreign ports. That, sir, is another Point upon which I feel no difficulty in expressing a very decided ()Pinion ; because I kndw, from my own experience, that vessels had not unfra quaintly been put, to, great inconvenience by that cause ; 'and fOthough he.-said it with great respect to the' officers of her hlajesty's navy, that they frequently' did it very unwillingly; and gave way 'to'representations made to them as to the difficulties in which merchant vessels would bp placed should. they persevere in taking an undue number of seamen out bf them; but still it is a power which I cannot for a moment think ought; to be - exerKsed.' Then as to the, other point to which allusion has been made, as to the certificate of service, Hill mean -to - say 'is this: if - a' certificne — orrervice is good for anything, it ought to be as good for carrying passengers as for tarrying- cargo. (Hear hear.) ~Now,. sir, I. observe with great satisfaction---I perhapi may, be allowed to make the remark--that the financial Position of the; association as "shown in the treasurer's . report is most encouraging.

She begged and prayed •of me either twice - or three times to do it, and then. I just took up t'knife which I had in my hand and just came a stroke across the left'side of her neck. 'When 1. was coming a second time she put het hand tip to the left side of her face, and she said it aia not seem to go far enough in, ' Give itigtheither.' I gavi like a second ene, when she asked me, and then she stood a little bit and Wed she drthiTed. She never said stout (nothing) moic after she drOPped; and she laid there. When I garde up frila the kithhen,! and I took the knife tip with itie and thought I would wash it and then I rued —I *Ad net; and I just went and put it into her kand, and there was just a' drop of blood about the size of a halfpenny on here (pointing to his waistcoat), and then just with that John Robinson came 'up to the door.

When I saw nine Off 1 washed my hands and waistcoat out, and then I 'went like down into the kitchen and went out of the front window into the orchard, and then I got My, mare out or the stable, and then when I got her into the Reid she would not sttnd until I got the gent en. She went galloping back into the fold: . Then I went and brought her back and yoked her. Abouit a quarter of an hour after that I saw Mr. Boys going down. A little bit after that there was a young lad went down on a cuddy (donkey), and then I saw nothing more till Mr. Boys' girl came to take me home at night. Then when I. got home Mrs. Fearon told Me •to •go in at the front. window. and I said No, I could get in at theliack door.' Ihad got in many a time at it, and then I opened the door for the nk_istress. I opened the door with that piece of l i iron that Mi. Brown had there. (Casa was here cautioned a iceond time, but said he only wanted to tell the truth.) Then at night, after we had all gone to bed, I went up stairs into Ann Sewell's room. Her and me was down at Cocke•mouth one night before that a bit, and she wanted to get some things, and she had forgotten-her purs and she askednie if I had any money in my 'pocket, and I said I had half-a.crown if that would do aught for her, and sO' I lent her it. So, as I thought I had knit tier the hall' -brown, I thought . i would have it back again. •Thea I ,lust looked into her box and there ayes a little hag, you know ; that they hang Over their arms; and I' opened this and I found a purse in it,,and I just opeaed it and there,, was jhatelghteenpenee in it,, and then I just put the eighteen pence in.niy pocket, and then I groped her freak pocket, as I thought there might be something mote in it, and there was half-a-crown in it. I put that in my pocket. In the morning I was putting it into the purse W4th the eighteenpence, and at one side of the, purse there was a little hole in-it, and a sovereign in it. I did not know what to make of the sovereign, and I owed our ftillt'a sovereign; and' . s I Was over heuie on Wed nesday night after I got the. sovereign, and I just left the purse and sovereign with my mother. Then I spent the half drown, and got some drink on the road. And then I had eighteenpence left, and then I ran ont of 'bacca. and sent for another ounce. Then I had like Lfteeninnen left. Ilia Sarah Dixon, : the person I sent for the 'hum, only gave me three half-pence, instead of threepence. • I had given her a sixpence out of the eighteenpence. That is all, I think ; Id 6 not wish to add anything - More to this'statement. I haveinade it volunz tartly and of my own free will.' After' hearing: the statement read over, the prisoner said, , "Thetis all, I think. It would be as near half - past three, as near as I can tell, when this , happened.., There was no one. with me. I have done it all myself ; and I was very sorry, too, after I had done it. (Signed) " GEORGX Ckss." The jury rettirned' a verdict of Wilful murder; and Cass was locked up.

He then went to the office, and learned that on that very day the route. to the station had been changed. He rebuked the keeper of the omnibusses, a female, for not having told him of the change ; she answered angrily, and violent altercation ensued. The.quarrel produced such an ' effect on the woman that she had an attack of fever, and was obliged to take fo r her bed. A week a ft er sh e died, and just - ,before she breathed her last she .excl aimed, Ah ! the wretch!! he gave me my death blow !" The gentleman was in conseqUence accused before' the tri bunal, under Art. 3 . 19 of the Penal Code, of hiving by imprudence - caused the death of the woman ; but the court held that, under the circumstances related, the charge 'could not be maintained.—Galignani.

Luckily - Detective Palmer, who was•passing at the time, observed what was going on, and "rescued the complainant and.took the prisoner to the station. Serjeant Teggins-said that on Easter Tuesday - it was a custom among the Irish in the neigh bourhood to "heave'', persOni froM the groundand kiss them ; and, being surrounded by twenty or thirty women the party generally found that when he escaped from them he was minus some article, but pf course was unable to say 'which of the party took it. The bench decided on remanding the prisoner. DISTRESSING AND FATAL ACCIDENT -AT OXFORD.

He was taken to the hospital, and thence to his father's 'house, where he was attended by several medical men.

The act was consummated by taking formal possession of the magnificent e s t a te at Alton Towers, and the event is one that will not be easily effaced from the memory of those who witnessed it. The village of Alton is pleasantly situated, on some uneven, grotind L on the banks of the river Churnet, and has been ranch improved within the last few years. The parts of the original striteture flow retraining, are the tower and the-arches of the north aisle: The iiastle is at the, east .end of the villagb,'near the church, in a• ceminatidittg artdation; on a - Atet,Rpeecipice, which rises perpendicularly. front the' bed of t oo river. It was a airman edifice, and was probably built rhoftly after the conquest, by, the De Verdons e who ,constantly resided here. Renclases an area of about an acre;and' nearly the whole of the present village was incleded within the Vulweniri l remains of which can now be traced. Though it is stated to have been neglected by its lords, the castle wan regularly kept and being a fortress.of some consequence, it was garrisoned by the Parliament daring the civil wars in the time of Charles I.

G. .ifaroord, the Rey, W. A. Tattersall, Mr. Blissett, Mr. Russell, &c. ke. The addresses being called for, her ladyship exclaimed, as numerous deputations approached the foot of the steps, " This is the proudest day of my life !" The first address was from the inhabitants of Alton and the neighbourhood, the second from the tenants on the Ingestre and Ticksall estates, and then came the address agreed to at the public meeting at Oxton, on Wednesday evening last. Mr. F. G. liarbord, chair man of the pdblic meeting, introduced the deputation, which coraisted Of the Nev: W. A. Tattersall, irictimbent of St. Saviour's, Oiton ; Mf. Heft& Danton i high constable; and ft. Blissett, chairman of the Caton Board. The address was read by the Rev. W. A. Tat tersall, who presented it to his lordship, who then handed it to the Countess of Shrewsbury. Iler ladyship very much admired the address, and his lordship was pleased to say that the receipt of it gave him great satisfaction. The deputation were received with marked courtesy and attention by the noble earl and his countess; and at.the conclusion of the address the reader of it was loudly Weered. The next address was presented by Mr. illis and Mr. Ileightloy, ,on behalf of the tenants, &c., on the Oxton estates of his lordship. The address was beautifully executed; and was received with evi dent pleasure by his lordship. Mr. Russell, Breinstage Hall, presented an address from the tenants °Latter Beeinstage estate, and subsequently ninny other addresses were received. His lordship, who was evidently over powered- by — his - emotions, expresied himself at that moment utterly linable to thank the deputations as he could wish to dp, but intimated that the 'addresses had been most welcome to himself, and should not be for gotten by him. About fotir thousand persons, it was stated, were then invited to lunch with his lordship in the noble hall, but the time for, the departure of the train having nearly arrived, and the crowd at the'entrance to the hall being so dense, the Oxton deputations were _very reluctantly compelled to leave without having partaken of his lordship's bountiful hospitality. • CONFESSION OF THE. LUTON MURDERER. By the - courtesy of the High Sheriff (C. L. Higgins, Esq.) - we (Bedford Tinus) are enabled to publish the confession of Joseph Castle, made on the day before his execution, in the presence of Mr. R. E. Roberts, the governor of the county prison, and the Rev. G. Medea; the chaplain ; together with extracts from the diary of the culprit, which he kept, for some time before and after his trial. The prisoner was visited by his aged mother and brother a Yew minutes after 10 a.m. on Friday morning, . 30th of March, being the day previous to the execution. Vie prisoner was frequently implored by his friends to tell the whole truth about the matter. He said in reply, " I can say no more that I 'have already said." Nearly an hour having' elapsed, and the visitors being informed their visit must be short,they again pressed the wretched man to tell the truth, and to do justice to his deceased wife's memory. He said, "If you will come again in the afternoon.we shall talk it over." The governor and chaplain informed the unfortunate man that although painful to their own feelings, the visit could not be renewed, and if he had anything further to say to thein, the present opportunity was the only one left him to do so. The governor and chaplain still being ,present, the prisoner then said (in reply to gees. delis from his brother) as follows : " The murder did not take place in the dell-hole.; it wet done on the side of the. road where the struggles were stated to have taken place." Here he showed how he attacked his wife ; the governor standing by .the prisoner, he brought his right arm round the back of the neck, and placed his right hand over the governor's mouth, and then said, "It was in this position it was done; I done it with my left hand. A short interval elapsed after I gave her the first 'wound ; •it was clone from here to beie-(at the same time passing his fingers from his earin_llis throat). As soon as she found,,sbe was wounded she said punish you.' She , was stand ing up at the — time I did it; I seized hold of her the second tits and entered the knife under her ear, and, thrust it in the directioß of the: windpipe. (Thi , ', no doubt, was the wound - tliit caused death.) As soon a s she received the. second wound . she said, 4 Joeorsai have done it at last!' I_ „do .not; ILiZONV what else she said. She walked 'towards the dell-hole, and she there tuibled in ; she was slot , dragged. I saw her in-the delt-hole on. her knees:in an ettitUde'pf prayer, with hoth hands lifted up towards -heaven. . : *hen I left her-she was alive in the dell-hole. ,I did..not know her fingers w ere cut, nor do I know ho3v my own hands got cut." In 'answer to his mother's,pestion, "Did you bring the.knife?" after considerable -pressing, he simply said, , t Nee' Shortly after the mother and brother had taken leave of ihe prisoner, he said, "I brought the knife with me, in ny trousers pocket. I did not intend doing anythinz of Ihe kind. She had not a chance to get away.. If she. hae only said have mercy upon me, T should . I *ft.,. . a friid she would have me punished, or I Should 1 n ti t: hate done it. She 'said, ‘Jee, yon and. do no !lore ; I'll go all the way witlf - you, and I'll not punish She wore her shawl higher that morning round berneck. I never saw her wear it so high before. It wuvery high up to her neck. It was cut through. Idd not think she W a S killed when I left, her. I did not plage.the knife in the field. I threW it there from the rod." At a subsequent period of the day the prisoner Termed his allusion to the melancholy event, and the chTlain'aeked hint if she cried out when he attacked hei. He in reply: said, " She could net, my right arm ww,round her neck, and my hand was on her mouth, wheh prevented het: then I)etfen'to'enNir with my lefthand." • The Post . states that Ministers intend to constitute thelßed River settleinent one of the ordinary colonies of the'crown, and that a bill for this purpose will be intro ducnd immediately. The beer retailers held a great meeting it the London Taiern on Thursday, and protested loudly against the hostility which had been displayed towards them by the licensed victuallers. They passed resolutions warmly approving of Mr. Gladstone's bill.

A " pot-waller," or " pot , walloper," was one who had a right to boil a pot within the borough, and if he possessed this right for six months preceding an election, and had not been in the receipt of parochial relief, he had a vote. Taunton was a pure pot-walling borough, and one of the most corrupt in the kingdom. It ia. only very recently that the pot-wallers there have been convinced that they are not entitled—ae of fig4t—to a sovereign a-head at every election "'THE CROWN, DIAMONW AT THE THEATRE-ROYAL: The ~. . . ..

The lovers of negro music will here find ea entertainment which cannot fail to please, as well for its 'titled character as from the excellent manner in which each part it pefermed by the various artistes. From the touching and simpte attains of negro minstrelsy, to the operatic burlesque, each glaciation is here represented with the greatest fidelity. The elitcttftnrnent is divided into two parts, in' the first of which ire ate favoured with a selection from most of the popular and attnsing negro melodies.

T IS A FACT WORTHY OF RECORDING, th a t, I in the 19th Century, and in an enlightened country like - ; ours, the treatment resorted to by the faculty tor. the cure of indigestion is altogether wrong in theory, and betrays fearful ignorance of the physiology of the digestive organs and the stomach, and in almost every instance, confirms the malady it should remove. The secretary of the " Liverpool Botanic Institute" will gladly and promptly forward, free of cost to all I who apply, Professor Beaumont's never-failingbotanic remedy . for all diseases arising from indigestion, such as flatulency or wind in the stomach, bilious, or liver complaints dimness of sight, and nervous or sick head-ache. O ne ingredient used in this remedy was discovered by Professor Beaumont while on a tour through the backwoods of America; and the recipe was forwarded to the directors of the " Liverpool Botanic Institute," at whose cost it ismatle known to the p u bli c ; and they wish it " to be distinctly understood, that, under no circumstances what ever, will they accept any fee, reward, or contribution far the recipe, their object being to show how far superior the botanic. practice is over all other practices of m e di c i ne. A wi U they wish is, 2 that those who may be henefitted thereby, 'll • corm:min CatP the same, in order that the public may know the value of this remedy, and forward the movement for medical reform.
