MURDER BY A MADMAN. LANCASHIRE ASSIZES On the morning of Sunday week the lotality of Wilmot's Row, Newcastle-under-Lyme, was thrown into a state of the, utmost alarm by the rumour that Stephen Dickenson, a shoemaker by trade. had killed his Widowed arid aged mother. The door of Dickenson's house was broken open, and the poor woman 'was die tovered lying at the foot, of the stairs, Weltering . in . blood. The blood had issued from"two wounds' off the head. She, however, was alive. IV seems that the old woman, who is about 70 years of age, lived with her son, who for some time appears to have been labouring under a strange hallucination that a man was looking after him in order to shoot him. .At intervals during the previous week his mind seems to have been in a rambling state ; and his mother, to whom, he appears to have been affectionately attached, sat up with him- on the Saturday night, a young man volunteering to lieeP her company. The son went up - stairs to'lie down, and between three and four o'clock 'on' the Sunday morning his mother was about proceeding up stairs to take him some tea, when he met her at the bottom and struck her, two blows on the head, with, it is believed, the post of a stump bedstead, but whether the 'blows were intended for his imaginary fee is not known. The unfortunate woman expired on Friday morning. • On Saturday the borough Coroner held an inquest on the body, when the following evidence was'adduced : George Francis Crutchley, engineer, stated that on the previous Saturday night the deceased came to his house and asked him if he would come and sit up with her, for she 'was very much frightened about her son, who did not seem right in his mind, and whose strange con duct had prevented her taking rest fOr the past three or four nights. She added that he had been saying that he was going to be shot, and other strange things, and she did not like to stay with him. Witness went to the deceased's house, and found Stephen' sitting by the fire side. Witness said to him, , 6 Well, Stephen, how are You ? Your mother told me you was not well:" He replied, " Middling, middling," in a very sharp tone of "Ice, and shortly afterwards lay down on a sofa, and complained of a pain in his head. His mother bathed his head with vinegar several times, ands advised him to go to bed, to which he replied that he should go when he thought proper. About twelve o'clock he jumped up suddenly and said he should go to bed. 'He then left the room, previously asking his mother to make him Some herb tea. After Stephen had gone up stairs the deceased set about preparing the tea, and witness lay down on the sofa. He dozed a little, but was aroused by a cry from the deceased. He jumped up and asked " What is the matter ?" The deceased said, " Stephen is standing on the- top of the stairs with something in his hand, and he has hit me on the head." Witness asked, "He has not hurt you, has he?",, She said, "Yes he had," and witness then saw that her head was bleed ing badly. Witness went to the street door and tried to • open it, but not being able to do this, he kicked at the door until some neighbours came and assisted him to force •it open. The deceased 'was then removed to a neighbour's house, and witness went to the polio station. —Dr. Hallam stated that he was called in to attend the deceased at four o'clock on the previous Sunday morning. He found her in a state of exhaustion, and insensible. H e discovered two contused wounds at the back part of her head, the skull being exposed. Witness had that day Made apost mortens examination of the body. His opinion was that the deceased had died from the injuries she had rece i ve d. He thought these were caused by a blow given by Some blunt instrument. IVitnesslnew Stephen Dick enson.' On Friday week he received an order from the relieving officer of the parish to attend to him. He found him in an excited restless state. He said John Mayer, a scavenger, was in the hou7e, and wanted to shoot him (Stephen Di c k en son). 'Witness ask e d hi m if be had seen this man, of whom he appeared to be afraid. Dickenson replied no, but he had heard his voice, and was sure it was Mayer. Witness said he would tell the police to take Mayer up, and this seemed to soothe . him. He also seemed to be labouring un der some delusion of a religious turn. Witness told a man named Turner, who was in the house, to keep a strict watch on Dicken son, and remove his cobbler's knife out of his way. Wit ness sent him some medicines, and saw him again on Saturday, when he appeared to be better. Witness saw the relieving officer the same dayiand told him he would have to make arrangements for' sending Dickenson to the lunatic asylum. Witness was decidedly of opinion that Dickenson was insane, and was so at the time he committed the assault on his mother.—Superintendent Booth produced a thick piece of wood, apparently the . post of a small old-fashioned bedstead, and a candle block,. with one of which it was - supposed the unfortunate man struck his'mather, Mr. Booth said he had a con versation with Dickenson on Monday morning, in .the course of which Dickenson said he had been waiting • some time to do what he had done,- and added there were two men coming after • him. In reply'to Witness, Dick enson said it was with the candle-block he struck his mother, and he showed witness how he did it, striking with the hammer end with great force. He said his mother had been behaving very ill towards him for some time. He had got a deal of money and she had spentit. He said he'svas not sorry he struck his mother; she and two men were conspiring to' kill him. Witness was decidedly of opinion that Dickenson was insane. The Coroner summed up the evidence, and the jury almost immediately found that the death of the deceased was caused by the blows given by Stephen Dickenson, and that he was at the time in an unsound state of mind. of aliasay, , was-charged with forging a bill oracceiitance for. £5O„ ,in May last. In that; month, the prisoner went to the house of Mr. Swan,, a publicansof Scotland ,road, and engaged for a coal office, and board and 'lnking in tte l represeailig` hiniself 'a 'coal agent. On the 31st of June, he gave the'landlady a bill of exchange for £5O, purporting to be accepted by Messrs. Dennis & Co., coal merchants, of Jersey. The prisoner .borrowed several small snms of money, the bill being held as security. It was proved that the bill was all in the handwriting of the prisoner, as was also the signature of the acceptors, which was that of a firm which never had any existence. Another case of a similar character was proved' against the prisoner; in which, he bad passed off a bill of acceptance ,for £75, and had raised £6 upon it. The constable who appre hended the offender 'at Birkenhead, spoke to finding several forged acceptances upon 'the' prisoner. The prisoner made a long rambling statement., and upon being found guilty, 'f begged .fer mercy." His lordship said the prisoner was both a plausible and a dangerous min; and although he had been twice before convicted for a similar offence; it had no effect Upon him: Sen tenced to seven years' penal servitude.. 1 ATTEMPT AT CHILD MURDER AT WEST ,DERBY. Aria Murphy, 27, was, charged with having, on the 12th June, caused the death of her infant child. Mr. 'Deighton appeared for the prosecution, and the prisoner was undefendei by counsel. The facts of this case were, that on the 21st of May, the prisoner was admitted to the West Derby Workhouse, and on the 31st was delivered of a female child. On the 12th of June, she took the child out of the workhouse and left it in a field, buried over with some turf The jury found the prisoner , guilty of a common assault, and she was sentenced to four months' imprisonment. STABBING AT TARBOCK. William Jones, alias Johnson; 67, was charged with wounding Thomai Woods and William Aldred, witlt intent, &c. On the morning of the sth of July the prisoner was seen plucking flowers in the garden, and being asked what he was doing, he replied, "Getting a nosey. " As he had SWAP fowls in bag on his back, it was determined to have him taken to the police station, and the assistance of the two men were brought into requisition, and on his way there the prisoner attacked the two 'men, and stabbed them in several places in their bodies. The wounds were dangerous incised wounds. By the advice of his lordship, the jury found him guilty of unlawfully wounding, not being in legal custody, and he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard EMPLOYES' HOLIDAY.—The annual holiday of the employes of Mr. Harper Twelvetrecs, of Bromley-b3- /30i; London took place on Monday, the 6th August, when an excursion train of sixteen carriages, filled with upwards of 800 workpeople and their friends, left Bow Station for Hampton Court, where a day's recreation was enjoyed in the state apartments and extensive picture gallery of the palace, and the beautiful gardens. The brass band cennected with the firm accompanied the train, and played at intervals during the day. The games and sports on the village green, and on the spacious l awn of the hotel, were Well maintained; and the entire party returned, reaching Bow Station at ten o'clock, delighted with the enjoyments of the day.

Thomas Rawlinson (41), a carter, was indicted for the wilful murder of his wife ; Mr. Presten Was for the the prosecution, and Itfr. Pope defended the prisoner. The facts of this case • have recently been published in detail in the Times, on the 15th June last. The prisoner, a carter, lived with his wife, the deceased, in a cellar in Mason-street, Wapping: The former was described as an industrious hard working and sober man, while the latter was a most dissipated and immoral ,character. About twelve (Mock on the day in question, the prisoner werit'home to get his dinner, when he ascertained that his wife was drunk in bed, having been on that morning drinking with a flatman and two women.

Mr. Pope on behalf of the prisoner made a most effective speech, in the tours° 'of which he ably dePicted the miserable life the prisoner must • have lived with such a dissolute ' wife, and elpquently, urged upon. them to look at the provocation he had received and find a verdict of man slaughter. The jury, after considering the case fQr some little time, returned a verdict of "guilty pf man slaughter," with a' reconimerniatitin to mercy. His lordship said the only verdict that could possibly be returned in that case,' - and sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for one mouth. CHILD MURDER AT MANCHESTER. Anne Billington, 34: stood charged with the wilful Murder of her new-born male child. Mr. Aspinall prosecuted, and .Mr. -Hopwood defended, the prisoner: On the '2nd of Auneethe prisoner, was living •in-Manohes ter, and it was suspected that she was eneiente, but that she had always denied. At an early hour that morning, heweveie'stains were found in pairts of the house, which led to the aliscovering .of a bUndle containing 'the body of child.- ...This child : had an' incised wound- on its throat, which the medical witnesses were of opinion had been inflicted during life. It was proved that the prisoner had recently been delivered. For the defence, Mr. Hopi'vood, in an able speech of . cerisiderable length, argued that the offence committed was one of concealing of birthmere thart that of murder, and appealed to the jury to take that -merciful view - of - the question. His lord§hip,surnined_np the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of concealment of birth. Sentence, eighteen' . ' months' imprieontnent. • BIGAMY AT MANCHESTER.

"The grand jury, whilst giving all due credit to the promoters of reformatories and schools,. whose efforts the grand jut.); earnestly desire eh ouH not be counter acted' by other causes, believe thtt the results of the circumstances to which they have adverted may be dis tinctly traced in, this county as a material cause of the lighter calendars at :assizes and quarter sessions, and the reduced number of .inmates of our gaols, and as leading to the existence of . a larger amount of criminal popula tion at large and unchecked, engaged in the perpetra tion of crime themselves and in the corruption of others. A natural consequence appears to be the extension in this county, and probably elsewhere, of crimes of the more serious class, to' which yoUr hirdship adverted in your charge. And the gram jury finally declare their, belief that unless the scale to which they have adverted—intro duced, it may he observed, by the sole authority of the - Beeretary , t4 State, without any sanction of Parliament —be abandoned, and a more equitable system *intro duced, all efforts for the ,diminution of crime, and for the amelioration of society, will be rendered compara tively nnavailing by a Misplaced economy, and that the amount of serious crime shoWn in the Calendar for the present assizes, which your lordship' and the grand jury alike lament, is likely to . continue, and probably to increase.

GOLESTONE.—In-this case Mr: Edward James, and another learned counsel, were for the plaintiff, and Dr. Wheeler, Q.C., And Mr. Higgins, for the defendant. From the opening statement of _counsel it appears .that the plairitiff is a tassel and fringe manufacturer at Man chester,' and • the defendant is a eleth cap manufacturer, in the same place. It happened 'that in January last the plaintiff .bad the misfortune to have his premises barut r and pending the settlement with the : lnsurance CoMPany, he wanted assistance to'earry l oii his business. He made an application to the defendant for a loan of £l5O, stati i ng to hiinithat 'as 'soon as he had settled with the Insurance Company, he .Would repay the amount. The defendant refused to make a loan without security,. and the plaintiff called upon Mr. Shyers, from whom he . obtained £250 worth of' silk, which he agreed to deposit with the_ defendant as security for, the loan for twelve months. The terms of the loan were that £l2O should be lent, and £3O given for the use of that money for twelve months ; if the money was returned within that time, a 'corresponding reduction was to be made. After receiving the silk, the 'defendant went to several parties and offered the silk for sale; among others, he went to Mr. Shyers, who immediately recognised his own goods. In due time the plaintiff received' £1,500 from the insurance Company. Ho offered to pay the defendant the £lso, and asked that the silk should be re delivered; the defendant refused, disputes occurred, and it was agreed that the matter should be referred to arbitration, one arbitrator to he selected by each party. The arbitrators decided that the defendant should deliver up, the silk, but he refused to abide by that decision ; the plaintiff had, therefore, brought this a.etion . 'to - tecoVer the silk: The defendant's case was, that although the money had been lent, no silk was deposited as security. In support of this case, a number of witnesses, including the defendant and others, were called and examined. Their testimony' was to the effect that the defendant had never received any silk from the plaintiff as a deposit for this loan, but that he had seized some. from him in virtue of a former judg ment. In 'cross-examination, it was shown that the former judgment had been allowed to go by default; and it was also shown that the defendant had destroyed the dates on the invoices. His lordship said, before the conclusion of the evidence, that he thought the case had gone far enough. It was a disgraceful exhibition, and he hoped the defendant's 'counsel would' call no more witnesses.' This request was acceded to, and a verdict was entered for the plaintiff, with immediate execution. LAVERY 2). Tura,Ev.----The plaintiff in this action was a wine merchant in Manchester, and the defendant was a publican in the same place. This action was brought to recover the sum of £B3 10s., the balance of an amount which was due for liquor supplied to the defendant wherewith to carry on his business.- Mr. Temple, Q.C., and Mr. Leresche, were counsel for the plaintiff, and -Mr. 0.-crcud, uuncluutud tl,e case for the,defendant. The original account had been upwards of £2OO, but several payments have since been made, reducing it to the amount now claimed. The defendant put in several set-offs, and he also set up in defence that an agreement had been made between himself and the plaintiff that he should give up possession of the house and shop if the plaintiff would relinquish all claim against him. Some of the set-offs were allowed, but the agreement was denied by the plaintiff. The jury, after a brief consultation, fbund.a verdict for the defendant. labour. GAROTTE ROBBERY AT WIGAN. James Howarth, 29, and Joh n Fannin, 19, were charged with robbing a Mr. Glover, of Wigan, of a sum of money ; but, as the proseCutor did not appear, the prisoners were discharged with a caution. BURGLARY AT MANCHESTER. Edward Curran, 21, wns fou nd guilty of receiving stolen goods at Mandhester, and was sentenced to four month& imprisonment. ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY. John Kelly, 24, was charged with altempting.to rob James Gill, on the night of the 31st of Ma3T last. Late on that night the proseeutOr was passing - through See phenson-squara, when he was attacked by two men, one of whom put his arms round-him - and put his hand into his pocket, hut, .as he had no money, he did not-care about it. Re Called for the assistance of the police, and the two men made their escape, but the prisoner was subsequently apprehended, and the prosecutOr identified him as the man who had put his hand into his pocket.'

The defendant denied giving his acceptance, but this was proved, as was also the fact that the bill of exchange was endorsed to Sykes, and then frcm Sykes to the defendant. Before the case had gone to the jury the bench directed judgment for the plaintiff to the amount of £5O 2s. 9d. BREACH OF CONTRACT.—LECKIE V. MCMATH.—Mr. rope was for the plaintiff in this case, end Mr. Manesty, Q.C., for the defendant. The plaintiff and defendant were originally for a short time in partnership as boot and shoe merchants, but from some cause or other it was thought desirable that the partnership should be dissolved, and the agreement mentioned in the first count of the declaration was drawn as the terms on which the separation was to take place. The agreement was that the plaintiff was - to Purchase from the defendant all the goods he might require in the course of his business, and the defendant was to sell those goods at the wholesale price. This' agreement was dated the 10th of April ; and the first order which' was sent to the plain tiff after- that - was on the 12th of April. About the carrying out of-this and the succeeding orders com plaints were frequently made, and on the 10th of May plaintiff wrote to the defendant complaining of the way in which he was carrying out. that,agreement. In con sequence of some legal objection it was agreed that a • verdict be entered for the defendant, with leave to move for a reference.

Its practical result is now clearly found to be — and those members of the jury who habitually discharge the ordinary ditties of Magistrates are painfully aware of the fact—that there is in the great majority of instances a decided and increasing 'disinclination to forward the administration of justice by aiding in the apprehension and conviction of o#enders, inasmuch as every person so doing now subjects himself not only to trouble and inconvenience, which, probably, he alight be very ready to undergo, but to a direct pecuniary loss, which in many cases is a very - serious one to himself and his family; and that such should be the case is generally felt to be grossly unreasonable and unjust. A " Persons who are robbed are now in many cases most reluctant to prosecute, inasmuch as prosecution only subjects them to a certain serious loss in addition to what they may have already incurred ; and with all persons whose general or special duty it would be to aid in the detection of crime, there is a general disposition, more or less, to escape, if possible, the performance of a duty which subjects the person who fulfils it to an inevi 'table andlo him often a seristts pecuniary penalty. " Asa striking illustration of these facts; it may he stated that in the case of the police, who receive their ordinary pay When in attendance at sessions and assizes, the further alloWance is so inadequate to meet the addi tional expenditdre which they unavoidably incur when living away from their own homes, that it is a great hardship upon them to be required to undertake the dis charge of any duty involving attendance at sessions or assizes, `and they naturally feel most reluctant to do so unless when imperatively required, or unless they are held harmless against loss from some other source.

CORRESPONDENCE. MR. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE AND THE RIFLE MOVEMENT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. SlR,—The public and the volunteers are much indehted to you for the spirited manner in which you met the ill-judged attack of Mr. Robertson Gladstone on the body of volunteers, in your paper of Thursday last; and it is gratifying to perceive the local press of all shades of politics, following in your wake. How that gentleman could have worked himself into such a state of excitement, it is' difficult to imagine. There are parties who say it was meant to be a political onslaught on the Earl of Derby, and that the dread of the eclat which his lordship will very justly acquire by his kind ness and condescension on -the Ist of September next got the better of Mr. Gladstone's judgment. That I cannot believe, for it would evince a total absence of all judgment ; and, holrefer Mr. Gladstone's judgment may be perverted at times, yet his most determined oppo nents must admit that occasionally his senses are clear. Mr. Gladstone has latterly made several exhibitions of himself, and I really think if he cannot command his feelings—which seems to be an impossibility, when matters assume the least political turn—that he should abstain from taking any part in such discussions, and resign his seat at the council board, for such scenes are very unseemly. It would be pleasanter for himself and friends, and more in harmony with the sentiments of the inhabitants of this loyal town. But as one or two facts are worth a bushel of unsuppprted assertions, I will, for Mr. Gladstone's information, and the satisfaction of the, public, give you two : A relative of mine, of the medical profession, came over. from Manchester the other day, to witness the review at Aintree. He is not only surgeon to a rifle corps; but visits a large district under the Poor-law Guardians, and I may add that his only son, a delicate youth, is a volunteer. While speaking about the rifle movement, he said the .good it had done to the morals and health of the differ ent, corps in Manchester and the neighbourhood was beyond all belief, and that parties who kept houses, tav erns, and billiard-rooms were nearly ruined in many cases, and that they had told him "if matters (lid not change very speedily, they would have to close them, for that instead of their being full every evening, there was now scarcely a young man to be seen." He went on to say that, after business hours, the young men attended closely to their dril, after which they were glad to get to bed, having neither time nor inclination to attend saloons, theatre•, and billiard-room. So much for Manchester. Now for Liverpool. In mentioning the above con versation here the other day, to a gentleman who has the opportunity of judging of such matters, he statpd that the same reformation had occurred in this toWn, and, if possible, to •a greater extent; and added, "if you have any misgivings on this point, ask Major Greig." Nay, he went further, and said from his own knowledge he knew that houses of questionable charac ter were far less attended than formerly. So much for Mr. Gladstone's charge of immorality against the volunteers. Now, the camp at Crosby is conducted in the most gentlemanly and soldierlike manner, as Mr. Gladstone may ascertain if he will condescend to pay it a visit, — it is not so much farther than his Seaforth estate. The greatest credit is due to Colonel Bousfield, officers and privates, and more eSpecially when we con sider the fearful weather they have had to contend with, ever since they went down there, with the exception of the last day or two. Of course Mr. Gladstone's petu lent onslaughts are little heeded, and carry very little weight with them, and, under the circumstances, he has done the movement a benefit ; but if he should imagine, for a moment, that the movement is not in the hearts of the people, and particularly of its members, let him ask those parties who were at Newton on Saturday last, and let him take up a prominent position at Knowsley Park on the Ist September.

REMAND OF JOHN EDMUND GAGG The prisoner, Edmund John, the assassin (according to his own statement) of the child Francis Saville Kent, was brought up, at two o'clock on Monday afternoon, for examination at the Trowbridge Police Court, before H. G. G. Ludlow, Esq. (chairman), W. Stancombe, Esq., and the Rev. R. Crawley. M. Clark, clerk to the magistrates, conducted the inquiry ; and Mr. F. Wells, from the office of Mr. Dunn, solicitor, of Fi'orne, attended to watch the case on behalf of the Kent family. The effect of the incarceration upon the prisoner seems to have had a silutary effect. Throughout the morning he was engaged in reading the Bible, and he also declared several times that he knew nothing of the murder. The impression which we formed upon our first view of him, that the prisoner was either a maniac or suffering from the effects of deliriu►n tremens, was confirmed by his appearance and conduct to-day. It. will be seen that he now completely denies that he had any thing to do with the murder. The prisoner, in reply to a question by Mr. Ludlow, said his name was Edmund John. Mr. Ludlow--Have you any other name besides Edmund ? Prisoner—Yes; but I should like to keep that back. Mr. Ludlow—Do you refuse to give it? Prisoner—Yes, sir. The depositions taken at the previous hearing having been read, Sergeant Royle added that he believed the prisoner, whilst in custody, was in a sane state of =incl. On Fri day evening, after the prisoner was in his custody, he said, " The agreement between us was that when the child was killed we should bury it behind the hedge, but afterwards they changed their minds and we put it down the water-closet. But I shall not tell their names at present." The prisoner, upon being asked if he .had any ques tions to put, said he had told a great number of un truths. I never said anything about Miss Constance Kent. The usual caution to prisoners was then read, after which the prisoner said—l can only.say that it was cir cumstances that caused me to give myself up. I can prove that I was in the Pratton-road, Portsmouth, on the 28th and 29th June, and at Godalming on the 30th. I have been so unfortunate and out of work that my life became a burden to me. What with being tof work and other circumstances, my wife leaving me and taking away our three children, I did not care what became of me. The two spots of blood on my trowsers were caused by cutting my finger on the Thursday. Mr. Stancombe—You have a mark on the back of your neck; how did you get that? Prisoner—l fell from a scaffold four years ago, and was taken to the Westminster Hospital. Mr. Stancombe—Did it hurt your head ; Prisoner—Yes, sir. Mr. Stancombe—Have you been in the hospital since ? Prisoner—Ter a carbuncle between my shoul ders, which was cut out by Mr. Barnard Hope. I was in the hospital for three months. I have not been in the hospital since. I obtained a letter from the hank in Little George-street, by which I gained admission to the hospital. When I met with the accident I was at work at Pimlico, for Messrs. Piper, builders, of Bishops gate-street Without. I was on the scaffold repairing a house. I have also worked for Messrs. Myers; and for Mr. Macey, in the Strand. Mr. Ludlow—You must understand that it is for your sako that we ask these questions as to who you are. As you refuse to tell us, we must further remand you to make the necessary inquiries till Wednesday next at eleven o'clock. Prisoner—l would tell you who lam at once, but I fear it coming to my mother'S ears. If you will promise me she shall not hear it I will tell you at once. Mr. Ludlow—We can't promise you that. There are several gentlemen of the press here, and all that has taken place' hereto-day will soon be known all over the country. Prisoner—l suppose you will allow me pens, ink, and paper in my cell, that I may write. Mr. Ludlow—Oh, certainly. The prisoner was then formitlly remanded till Wed nesday, and removed from the dock. Shortly afterwards he gave his name as John Edmund Gagg, and also wrote a statement similar to that given before magistrates. A report was very Current in the surrounding towns, on Sunday and Monday, that the missing night-gown had been found stitched up in a mattress at Mr. Kent's house. We need scarcly say (adds our correspondent) that there is no truth what ever in it. The Earl and Countess of Derby and Lady Emma Stanley leave town at the close of the week for Knowsley Park, near Prescott. The grand review of the Lancashire volunteer corps takes place in the park on the Ist proximo. BANKRUPTCY COURT.—YESTERDA.Y.—Wm.

CORONER'S INQUESTS, —Yesterday the Coroner held inquests on two children that were overlain in bed. The first was on the body of Harriet. Carlin, seven months old, that was smothered in bed in Arley-street; and the second on Mary . Jane twelve months, that met a similar death in Rupert-street. The children were smothered in the usual way, and the usual verdicts were returned. It is curious to observe that the majority of such cases occur on Saturday, Sunday,' and Monday nights, when the mothers aro in a state of iattnioation, Ler ith the ible PITT-STREET. ? at .nst.

CAVE 'Observed that - the reason why . the promoters of ftbdse 'Sehobis did not certify tinder the Indusirial Sehodls Act 'lvas'ilmt thereby they became liable to have cildren guilty of 'wrest crime sent there by the magistrates, which gave the N - c:bool a penalcharacter. The management of such certified schools ought to be transferred to the Home-office. Mr. HENLEY observed that the great question was whether the penal elemeht could be separated from the industrial Pchoo!s. The present system, it was admitted, did not tench those classes 'Or which it was intended, and the cbjeet of thno 'who desired Its alteration was a very wide one, and went to the root of the educational 'system of the eosin try: He could hot support a general proposition sued as that involved in the 'resolution, which professed to enlarge the present system so as t 8 fill up the great existing gap, unless similar guarantees of management were given as those which now existed in'schools of a higher class under the management of the Privy Council. Cart should be especially taken lest a purely secular rduc,ation was given to those who more particularly required religious teaching. The right bon.. member then entered into a citation of details,., showing the inequalities of. the present system as applied to different counties of England, declaring the insufficiencies, the anomalies; and, in certain cases, the unpopularity of the state provision for national educat t ion under existing organisation. , Mr. LOWE explained the measures that had been adopted tawards extending the benefits of the educational grant, anal contended that no sect or denoMination were rractically excluded from the privilege which rarliarnent had intended to confer under the contiol of the com•tikte. , , - 1 of the rrisy Council. No limit should be allowed to restrict the way of the educa tional 'advantages which the legislature intended to confer,by its liberal grants of public money. On a cevlsion, the amendment was negatived by a majority of 41 to 25. The HoUse then went into.committee of supply, ahcn Mr. Lows explained in much detail the . various items of expenditure to which the Council for Edttcation had appro priated the grant of last year, and contemplated appropriating the grant ainunting to L 193,167, which. Parliament was asked to vote for the current twelve months. The amount of the grant was less by £34,753 than that voted in 1859, owing: to some excess in the exnenditure upon buildings, and smne other 'etterptlonal • caws,. the number of schools brought ttnder inspection during the present year being. 171, while not less than 3,753 additional scholars were now receiving instruction in the establishments wheie managers had placed themselveS in connection with the Committee of Council, and participated in the parliamentary grant. • : The votes were agreed to, as were a series of subsequent voteg, amidst a miscellaneous discussion, which occupied nearly the remainder of the sitting. The House adjoUrned at twenty ritlliutes past two. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. MR. D. FISHER AND MR. H.' WATKINS. Last night Mr. H.

ALLEGED CASE OF POISONING IN Yesterday it was reported to Mr.,Blake, the beadle!of the Coroner's Court, that a female named charlotte Xernot, 40 years of age, who lived at 6, Kent-street, had poisoned herself by taking a quantity of essential oil of almonds.

Mary Green, a resident of Marybone, was charged by Mary White, of the same street, for having threatened her life. It appeared that the comphinant was a 'witness against some person who was tried at the assizes on Monday, and this seemed to d splease the prisoner, who, on Monday eveninr, flint her, and threatened to take her life, as a false swelrer. The pri soner denied the charge, and said it was oat of spite she was Charged, bowls?. she • woald not give drink to the complainant. The latter called a witness who proved part of the case, when Mr. Raftls,.s said he wished it to be pub licly known that persons who gave evidence against criminals must be properly protected from threats or Violence. In this case he would order the prisoner to find two sureties in £5 each to keep the peace, or in default one month's imprison ment ; ani in future, if any person was brought before him on a similar charge, he would deal much more severely than in the present Instance. A BLACKGUARD RIGHTLY. SERVED. A rufßanly-looking fellow . named Charles Williams, alias Ryde, was chargei by Major Greig, the head eonstable4 under the following circumstanee4. He said: I W 36 going up Lime street, yesterday, and at the corner of Skelhorne•street, I heard load cries of " polio;." I hastened - forward, and saw the prisoner in contact with a woman, wbo had .ft child in her arms; they were pulling the child, and I feared they would hurt or kill it; the prisoner then st.nck the woman two violent blows ; I could not see any of my men at the moment, but two of the neighbours kindly came and c 'nicht the poisoner, and were taking him to Bridewell, but in Skelhorne-street, he broke from them and ran into an alley, but they followed, and after a smart chase, they caught him again. By this time one of my men and a BridP well Keeper came and took him into eustody....l do not like to englige personally in such matters. but seeing the woman so badly treated, I could not refuse her assistance.---Mr. Raffles : You acted very creditably. Major.---The Prisoner: I live with that woman, and she tore my coat.---Mr. Raffles : And is that the reason you shoUld treat her so broadly ?---Prisoner : I wanted the child from her.---A gentleman who assisted• Major Grcig corroborated his statement.---Major Greig said the gentleman had acted very kindly, hut fur his pains the prisoner gave him two good blows on the check. , :--Pridcwell Keeper 'Hutchinson said, I know the prisoner for over sixteen years, ta:d he is a most notorious thief, and has been here several limes for felony ; he has never worked daring that time.---Mr. Raffles : I will send him to jail for three months, with hard labour, for the assault on the woman. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Thomas Spekeman, a carter, whn lives in Bride-street, Park, was charged with having attempted to cut his throat. From the evidence of a man, in whose house tin—prisoner lives, it appearod that during the night he heard a noise in the pri soner's room, and being alarmed, he got up and went into the room, when he got the prisoner with a razor in his hand, and he drawing it across his throat; he rushed at, and took the razor from him, and called assistance, and had him conveyed to the station. The prisoner declined to say anything, and h e was remanded. ROBBERY IN A "BAD HOUSE." A young mercantile man, named John Davis, charged a female named Anne Wilson, who keeps a house of ill-repute in Finch-street, with having robbed him of 47. Mr. Cobb defended, and on cross-examination of the plaintiff c:icited all the facts. He said he was very drunk, h . td been t 4 the Grand Junction Hotel, then to Rigby's, then to Johnston's, and then to goodness knows how many other public h oust , s. ... m i . Cobb : Then you were drunk ? I was.- I3i,w much money had you ? About £l3. I met a friend of the prisoner's, and went to the house, when the prisoner pulled the pocket off me, and took out £7. Mr. Cobb contended that as the prosecutor was so very drunk, no jury could convict on his evidence, and therefore it would Le useless to send the prisoner for trial. Mr. Raffles agreed, and the prisoner teas discharged.

MURDERS, FIRE, ROBBERIES, TORTURES, ASSASSINATIONS, AND VIOLATIONS. We translate the following letter on the above subject, which has appeared in the Augsbury Gazette. It contains very detailed information, and is well worthy of being brought under the notice of our readers:— THESSALONICA, July 20, 1860. You receive from our country, occasional news only, and it reaches you most frequently through Constantinople, where every event is seen through the medium of a particular prism. I am in a position to give you very precise infor mation upon the state of affairs in these provinces —Thessaly, Epirus; and Macedonia ; and shall mention only facts, which will speak more elo quently than words. They write from Adrianople that, throughout , the whole o f th a t prov i nce , ou t rages of every kind, theft, robbery, torture, violations, fire, murders, and assassinations, are committed upon the .Christians with impunity, the Turkish authorities not even going through the form of prosecuting the authors of these crimes. At Karaboura, a village situated fifty-one miles from Constantinople, a horde of Turkish troops have committed the most revolting atrocities. Meeting upon the road sonic Christian women and girls, these wretches let lobs° upon them their brutal passions, and strangled three of the girls, who opposed to them a desperate, but useless' resistance; the rest were harnessed to a cart, and compelled to draw their inhuman torturers., , who maltreated them iu a manner the most revolting. In the village of Faky, another band of Turkish recruits seized upon the Chief of the Commune; they fastened him to a cross, which they surrounded with fire; his •daughter was dragged under the cross, and violated by these demons under the eyes of her dying father writhing in his agony. At Larissa the Turks, encouraged by the events which happened in Syria, assume a . menacing Attitude towards the Christians using violent means to - compel the Greek inhabitants of Thessaly to sign writings„ intended to represent to the Sultan how entirel— satisfied the Christians of that province, were, with the administrations of their Pasha. Bands of Albanian brigands, whom the troops, thethselveS composed of recruits frOm Albania, made a pretence of pursuing, oppress the Christians without ceasing. Reduced to the; greatest misery; exhausted by numberless taxes,. they are at the •mercy of the Albanian brigands. who deMand 'their share of plunder ; or if they, find nothing, seize upon their wives and daughter's for-the gratitleation of their brutality. ppcin"' these horrors lltisnein Pasha, looked ou.compla tently, his hatred against, the Christians; and the Greeks, in; particular; is implacable. This Pasha' is aware that the "impression Fro-, dated in Greece by the Syrian massacres will provoke bloody reprisals upon the Gr4ian frontier of, Turkey, and he is collecting unremitz' tingly all the forces which ho has at his dispcisitt. ' It is even feared•that; on some - pretence or other, he will attempt an inroad into the northern pro vinces of the Hellenic kingdom. - The Goveipea• Joannina.. sent .to the Caimakarus of the town of P4ramythia and ofMarkariti, orders to exact ftom. the inhabitants a large sum of money, for the' use of the Sultan. The inhabitants replier; iir answer that they had paid their taxes, and that they had nothing left; but it .was intimated to theinthat the taxes of next year must bp, paid in advance under pain of being executed. In the commune of Tikfesi, in the neighbourhood of Bitoglia, five . Tarks, armed, entered,,during the night, the house of a newly-married Christian, for the purpose of, carrying off his. young wife. The husbEind was garotted, and the wife was dragged away. Two Turks, - father and son, of whose vineyards the Christian was in charge, succeeded in rescuing the bride - from the hands of her ravishers, who, disappointed of their prey, attempted to shoot her, and fired several shots, from their piStols at her. Next morning the . young wife waited upon the chief :of the oin t mune to lay her complaint before 'him. The' latter drew up a report upOn the affair, and' caused her to take it to Bitoglia, where a supe rior court sits. After innumerable difficulties the woman made her way into the hall where the judges were Assembled, and presented her complaint. The following is the sentence pro nounced by the president of the court of justice: " According to our sacred law, the Koran, two Turkish witnesses are required to, establish a crime; The report 'cites the names of these two witnesses, but as the crime took place during the night, their testimony is invalid." In . the course of the present year—that is to say, within an interval of six months—forty assassination have been committed by Turks upon Christians in the very vicinity of Bitoglia. After a purely formal enquiry, the authors of these crimes were speedily set at liberty. sporting Anteiligenct. RADCLIFFE RACES.--YEsTERDay. GREY DE WILTON HANDICAP STAKES.

FALL OF A BUILDING AT PENDLINO/r THREE PERSONS KILLED AND SEVERAL SEVERELY INJURED. A very serious accident occurred on Monday afternoo at Pendleton ; three persons being killed and .sever severely injured, by the fall of the larger portion of t'. premises occupied by Mr. John Parry, as a smallwa . manufactory. The building was in Ford-lane, near tl• railway station. It was two storeys high, and consists of an old and a new part, the latter having been erect( within the last twelve months, by Mr. Thomas Valentin. builder, Pendleton. The upper storey, extending tl whole length of both parts, was used for the manufa ture of smallwares generally ; the lower one, which w to a great extent open in front, being mainly devoted the making ofhoot-laces. 'The new portion of the manufactory was 70 yar , ' . long ; and there were 14 or 15 persons at work in it at time of the accident. It seems that without the slights ;,r indication of danger having been noticed by any of tlr hands, the whole of this portion crumbled to the groin e like a child's house of cards, and so complete was tl destruction, that scarcely two bricks were left standitr together.. Efforts were speedily made to extricate from the rni the unfortunate people who were buried there ; acid tl • three following were, we regret to say, quite dead NOR: got out :—Edward Rogers, who was in the upper store • and who has left a wife and two children; his injuri being chiefly about the head, which was shockingl• crushed. John Lavery, aged 14, crushed across Ii breast and back between two beams. James Cousin about 12 years of acre, whose body was much mutilate( The first two lived at Pendleton, and the bodies wry removed as soon as;possible to the Church Inn, close h The latter lived at Charlestown, and thither the bor was conveyed. Besides several who were slight:, injured, the following were taken to the Manchest.:.. Infirmary :—Mary Ann Pickering , about 25 years of ag s . who h a d sust a in e d a c o mpound fracture of the leg , William Dawson, 19 years old, fracture of the thigh John 'Parrott, fracture of the thigh ; and Micha M'Creary, aged 7, fracture of the leo.
