FRENCH RESEARCHES AT NINZVEII.—The Minister
of the Interior has received farther moments of the ex-
plorations, which are being carried on by M. Place, Consul
of France at Nossul, in the ruins of Nineveh. In addition
to large statues, ben-reliefs in lambi*, pottery, and articles
of jewellery, which throw light es the habits and customs
of the inhabitants of the ancient city, he has been able to
examine the whole of the palace of libeliabad and its de-
pendents, sad in so doing has elucidated some doubtful
point., and obtalaed proof that the Assyrians were not
rat of any of the resources of architecture. He has
discovered a large gate twelve feet high, which ap-
poses to have been One of the calmness to the city,
several emistruatioos in marble, two sews of columns,
apparently extending a considerable distance, the cellar
of the palsies still containing regular rows of jars,
which had evidently been flied with wine—and at
the bottom of which jars then is still a sort of deposit of a
violet colour. M. Place has, moreover, discovered the
storehouse of pottery, containing sedans articles. In addi-
, owl to all this, he bin caused excavations to be made in
the hills of Brieltiecha, Kansans, Tea Lethal, Rettig,
Karakock, Digen, &c., on the left bank of the Tigris,
within ten leagues from Kborsabed. In them he has found
monuments, tombs, jewellery. sad some articles in gold and
other metal and stone. At Dgigiran there is a monument,
which. it is supposed, may turn out to be es large as that of
Khonabad. At Miami, and at a place called Ilarrian, M.
Place has found law:diets out in solid rock ; they consist
of a number of colossal figures and of a series of tall-length
portraits of the Kings of Ample. M. Place has taken
copies of his discoveries by means of the photographic pro-
erne ; sad he announces that Colonel Rambling has autho-
rind him to make diggings near the *sees which the Eng-
lish are engaged inane/mining.
EMIGRATION PROM THE WEST INDIES TO ADS-
TRAUA.—We have been favoured with the following ex-
tract from a private letter, written by the principal of an
eminent mercantile firm in Bt. Vincent, to a commercial
house in Liverpool :—" Hader the impression that the in-
formation may interest you, I may mention that the last
news received from England, with reference to Mistrals,
has created a good deal of excitement here ; and one of our
best houses—the highly respectable and wealthy firm of
Hughes and Todd—have advertised that their new barque
' the Despatch, Al, will leave this island on or about the
15th of September next for Port Philip or Sydney, provided
Irmo eighty to a hundred passengers can be obtained, a$
601. for cabin and' .5/. steerage. Several respectable people
talk of going in the Despatch. Should an extensive emigre-
tion of our best people tate place, it must tend very con-
siderably to assist the retrograde movement which is taking
Place in the West India colonies."
LONDON AND Non= WESTERN EAILWAY.—The
directors propose to create a certain amount of debenture
stock, to be issued in substitution of an equal amount of
existing borrowed capital, under the set of parliament pared
for the purpose last session, and to attach' thereto a Axed
pattual_yearly dividend.
TILE HANK OP ENGLAND No FORGERIES AT
BeisroL.—James Fletcher, who has been apprehended at
Bristol upon a charge of utterring forged 61. notes of the
Dank of England, was further examined yesterday, before
the magistrates for that city. It was proved that he had
p 'seed off spurious notes at a place in the Haymarket, Lon-
don, and at Wedncsbury, in Staffordshire, and he was
handed over to the charge of a constable, to be conveyed
before the magistrates for the last-named place.
Tate EXPLOSION AT WAPPlNO.—Yesterday morn-
ing the poll c-authorities ascertained that the damage done
to the surroundiag property was far more serious than was
at first imagined. Last evening Mr. William Baker, the
deputy coroner, and a jury, assembled in the board-room
of the London Hospi•al, touching the death of (Berge
Verrall, aged 62 years, the unfoettusate man 'rho ri

The Vin-Chaneellor gieeeat en this motion foe
en intoned= to manila the defendants from laying dews
gas-pipes in Sheffield. and from breaking no the pavement
and obstructing the highways er danseniag the plaiatiffs'
mains and pipes. The real plaintiffs were, in fact, the
Sheffield Unified (3u-light Company, mad the cue raised
by them was that the defendaats had no legal authority to
break up the pavement., that great injuries would be done
to the highways by the laying down of the pipes, end from
the continually recurring necessity of van,' up the pave
ments for the purpose of repairs. The info motion, there-
fore, stated a cue of public injury, and the bill complained
of apprehended damage to the plaintiff., arising from injury
to their mains and pipes in the process of executing the
defendant, works, and of afterwards keeping them in re-
pair. The first point urged by the defendants was
a foment objection oa the ground of misioinder of
parties, but his Honour thought the plaintiffs had
sufficient iaterefit to enable them to join with
the Attorney-Oeneral in the suit, although probably
it would hove been better if they hail proceeded on behalf
themselves and other ratepayers. Another objection rot
depending oa the merits was that this was not a bona fide
ieforntation by the Attorney.Oeneral. Bat his 'tumour
fit himself bound to consider, and did consider, that the
Atteency,Oencral would not lend himself to the private
views end interests of parties. This objection must be
overruled, and the ease must therefore he decided upon
its merits. That the court had power to interfere by in-
juts:mien...whether there might or might not be a question to
try at law, his Honour had no doubt. The law gave to the
subject* of the . °entry certain legal remedies ; but in cases
like the present thee.- +scold be insufficient, because the
court bad uo preventive jurisdiction. The defect in this
legal remedy was therefore supplied by the injunction of
the Court of Chancery, which was one of the most useful
powers the court possessed when esercised with reasonable
discretion. But. although the power of the court to inter-
fere was undoubted, the rules by which that interference wee
to be govenied were not so well In down. It was the
duty of this moon, when called upon fur its summary
interposition, to hare regard to the nature and extent of
the injury, the time within which the application was
mode, and to the comparative injury from granting or with-
helding its air'. With regard to the private interests of the
plaintiffs, his Honour, oa a more careful reeding of the sill.
Barite, sits ie, lemon to alter the opinion he had already
expressed. But so tar as the public interests were COP-
evened, the case stood thus—that the Mindsets had no
legal authority to break up the pavement, and that con-
tinually recurring inconvenience would arise from their
being permitted to by down the pipit Whether or not
this would amount ton nuisance at law it was not for his
tumour to decide, but he rather thought it would be so too-
maimed. The question was whether the noisome (if
any) would be so extensive as to indroe the
court to interfere not only to prevent it, but to
prevent the question of nui•anee or no nuisance
from twist: presented to a court of la.. which would be
the effect of the injunction inked. His Honour thought be
should mot be justified in monis that length, and the aquae-
tem ought they: Gore to be refused. The nuisance., if any,
would be but temeorary, though constantly recurring, and
his honour hail found no instance in which an iajunetion
had been granted under such circumstances. If applies
tom bed been made at an earlier period, his ileum should
nn have thought it right to interfere. But great delay
bad taken place. The &feudist, had been allowed in go
ea with their arreageineuts without interference, and eon-
trans had been entered into by them for the perforusaams
of their work., sad them proceedings were taken against
them. Upon all the grounds adverted to. therefore, his
lioneur was of opinion the plaintiffs had failed to task, out
a ere tit relief, sad the Wendel's nut be refugia.

_ . .

This was a petition to confirm the Master's report ap-
rons* Of a scheme fur the mannteenent of the Walcott
Morino, left in the year 1667, for the benefit of the most
no* and necespitous pcor of Lambeth parish. It ar-
Mtdent ever since the establishment of the char it
n samaged that half the fends should be applied in
the done of gembros for the benefit of poor) peewee is the
whit teed the Mbar half for educational purposes, is se-
aiming the dillmant schools of the parish. This petition
had bees promoted in order that such an alteration
zalpht be Era in the scheme of the charity as
to make it oppliesPile for either distribution immerse
the thirteen districts into which the pariah of Lambeth
is sew divided. Under the scheme settled by the Muter,
it was arranged that the funds, which sow amount to
1.2601. per &011111, should be divided as formerly between
the schools and pi 'nouns in equal moieties ; bet that
upon the death of my of the pensioners, till they should be
ndesed to 30, the feeds arising from their preas should
bow time he time be applied for the benefit (tithe schools.
This porticos of the scheme was objects/ to by armed of the
pariahioeen, who were desirous that as the paniess
dropped, the when fuels shield be apelied ise educational
pummel.
Mr. Glam. sad lie. Rogers appeared far several of the
minis en sad churchwardens beleoging to the various dis-
tricts, and submitted that it was better to apply the charity
loads for edusational purposes. That this plea was more
batty to be heaeficial fur the poor generally, than to pro-
vide for the very esl/1 number of aced poor, who, in a po-
pulation of 11,000 persons, could be benefited. It was also
stated that this was in accordance with the wishes 01 most
of the indimestial persons in the perish.
Mr. Bacon and Mr. Forster appeared for the trustees of
the charity, who were the minister and churchwardeos of
the mother church, and consequently of :be entire parish ;
and come nded that it was contrary to the object of the
founder to apply all the funds for educational rposes.
No one disputed the advantages to be derived from pro-
perly supporting schools, but the abject of the founder mu
to relieve the must needy and neeneitiess poor, and it hail
always been considered that the application of part of the
funds, at least, should be in the shape of
pensions fur poor people. The objects of the (ha-
rity were to he these aged lour persons who from a
state of comfort might have been renamed to destitution
through unavoidable misfortune, and who shoat always
have a good character. Sorely such peewee would be fit TO.
cipients of the charity. The trustees of the fends wove
willing to agree to the wishes of many of the parishioners
in raising no objection to the Master's report; but they
could nut agree to the entire proceeds being devoted to edu-
cational purposes. It might also be stated that all the funds
now applied for education were given to the church school.,
so that no dissenters of any denomination could receive •
benefit from them. This was considered by many of the
inhabitants to be unjust, and if there were still to be pox
pea Miners, there might be a posoibility of others ideal
churchmen ob Airing relief from the funds.
Mr. James. for the Attorney• General, approved of the
alteration of the scheme, an as to apply the funds for edam.
tional purposes.
The Vice-Chancellor said his own opinion was deci-
dedly in favour of giving the funds to the schools, and he
eOnsiliertil that this would be by far the most beneficial
application of *he charity. Under the tents of the loon-
der's will any application of the charity for the benefit of
the poor might he sanctioned, and if he were one of the
poor of the parish, and acre asked how he would like the
funds distributed, he would ceitainly prefer haring them
applied for the support of wheels so that his childrea
might be educated, to running the chance of being one of
tlis old sod fisetiontous poor who might hereafter be elected
to receive a p nsion. Ile could me that, as usual, there
were entre° crotchets about churchmen and ellestatees, bet
be did not think this ought to interfere with the wawa
wishes of tete parishioners. His Honour's own feel-
ing was, that the giving pensions in the manner
proposed was calculated rather to resents than
to relieve pauperism. There were many cases in
which it war a most ohjectioeahle plate, and after all the
recipients would be SO limited, ther, bring but 20 prisms
out of • population of 15,0(00, that he doubted whether it
*mid lie of much use. Under all the circumstances, he
thought that the best arrangement that could be made
was to all., the ministers and churchwardens of each
particular district to decide for thems.iers as to soda pee-
nos co the chanty as Shook! fall to 'heir shire, and to give
them permission to apply the fend■ from time to time
either in the sham of mimosa for pis.r people, or fur edit-
catioaal purism., as they snould 'husk 6'.

Maria Chilly, 45, • nepeetable-lookieg woman, attired
in deep mourning, was indicted for the wilful murder of
her child, Jane Chitty, aged seven years, by beating out its
brains with a mallet.
Mr. Knapp conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was
defended by Mr. Clarkson.
The learned counsel for the prosecution opened the case
in a very kind and temperate manner. He said that the
unhappy woman at the bar was not only called upon to
answer the heinous Merge of wilful murder, bat she was
accused of having wilfully and in is most horrible manner
deprived of life lost own offspring. The ems appeared
to be one of • most melancholy character, for he
mid there would be very little doubt that the set had been
committed by the prisoner while labouring under • state of
great excitement and misery, consequent upon her husband
having been suddenly deprived of his reason and consigned
to • lunatic asylum, thus depriving her and her family of
their support and mairvenance. H• went on to my that
the case for the prosecution almost would establish the tact
that at the time the primmer destroyed her child she was
not in such a state of mind as to render her legally re-
sponsible, but he added that inasmuch as • dread
fel crime bed undoubtedly been committed, it was
essential for the safety of all, that • lull and
strict inquiry should be made into all the circum-
stances connected with it, and if it should be made
to appear satisfactorily that the prisoner really was in such
a state of mind, he had no hesitation in telling them that it
would be their duty to acquit her upon that ground, and to
say by their verdict that she was not guilty of the dreadful
crime laid to her charge.
The following witnesses wore then examined :
William Chitty, a son of the prisoner, said—My mother
and father carried on the business of • baker, in Quarry-
street, Guildford; but my father became deranged in &p-
-lumber last, and since then I have assisted my mother
earning on the business. My lather was taken to Bethle-
hem madhouse. On the 6th of May I had three brothers
and two sister', Elise and Jane, the deceased. We
all lived in the house in Quarry:street, sad ray two
enters slept in the same room with my mother ; and the
servant, Ellen Young, slept in the seam room. About four
o'clock in the morning on the oth of May I was awoke
by my mother calling to me, and when I went to see her she
asked as- for the key of the shop, sad I gave it to her and
went back to bed. About seven o'clock I heard •
sort of cry in tar mother's bedroom, which indoeed me
to get up immediately and ge LW% and upon entering
the roam I mw my two sisters in the bed, and my mother
was in the act beating them with a wooden mallet.
(The Instrument was produced ; it was about eigh-
teen inches long in the handle, was made of very heavy
wood, and was altogether • very frightful weapon.)
When I got up to my mother elm was about to strike
my sister Elias, and I laid hold of her hand and plead
her on the side of her own bed, sad she dropped the
mallet, and exclaimed, I have murdered my children."
I then looked in the bed, and saw that my sisters were co-
vered with hlood, and Jane died the same day, about
one o'clock. My other sister is still alive.
By Mr. Clarksos—l believe the prisoner is about 45 years
dd. The damaged child was 7, sad Elise was 9. I meet
saw my mother quarrel with either of the childna. My
' father was taken to the madhouse in October, and at that
time he was in a state of violent derangement, and it was
mat for hiss to be at large. He was sent home • little be-
fore Chri tam; but he was not mired . • and it was necessary
to mud him beak again a week afterwards,ards, mad be was in
, the madhouse at the time this calamity eccierred. Ever
icesmy father bus been away my mother has appeared
' very strange in her smudge; and I noticed this very par-
ticularly dent April. I have frequently seen her pet her
hands up to her head, and walk about is that position,
, and she appeared quite unable to attend to her business,
' and we lied bees motioned to watch her for isalphe should

do herself or same one else some Mischief. When 1 had
hold of her, she struggled slightly, bet she was too weak,
and I same:vied in forcing her to her own bed. A abort
time before this happened she took the child, Jane, in her
arms, and went out the back way towards the river, and
the neighbours stopped her and brought her back. She
bad complained a good deal of her head at the time.
When the prisoner was well, the always acted like a kind
and affectionate mother. I don't know what mad* her get
up so early in the morning ; it was not her usual custom to
do so. For several weeks before this occurrence, I
had reason to believe from her coded that my
mother was out of her mind. We were very happy
until some time ago, when an unfortunate occurrence took
place betwe-n my father and oar servant girl, the result of
which was that the justices made an order of maintenance
upon my father. My mother was very unhappy about
this, and I frequently heard her say that she was afra d
that, when my father came home, he would separate her
from her children, and she seemed to dread that that would
happen.
By Kr. Knapp—The mallet was generally kept in the
cellar.

Ella Young said—l was in the prisoner's service. and
slept is the same room with her and her children. On the
morning of the 6th May, the primmer awoke as. about six
o'clock, and told me to get up. She then went down stain,
and I followed her, and I was surprised at seeing the
mallet, which was always kept in the cellar, on a chair, and
I covered it over with a sloth.
By Mr. Clarkson—My mistress appeared to refer • great
deal with her head, and I have seen her repeatedly walking
about in a state of great agitation. When she was well she
was a vm fond mot or, and I never saw her commit any
tat of 'Wean towards her chit-tree. I remember upon oue
occasion that the children told me something about their
mother having taken up • poker. She was very much ex-
cited whoa her husband was taken to the lunatic asylum,
gad aloe at his Mist seat home more he was well, and she
appeared to he afraid that be would commit some violence.
I am of opinion, from all I law of the premier's conduct
daring the time I was is her service, that she was not of
sea mind, tad that at certain times she did not know
what eke wee doing.
Mr. T. J. Sells said—l am • surgeon residing in Guild-
ford. On the morning of the 6th May. in consequent of
information I received, I went to the house of the prisoner,
and, on going into the bed-room, I saw the two children
lying on the bed weltering in their dud. The prisoner
was seated upon another bed in a state of great agitation.
She wrung her hands and exclaimed "What have I cone ?
I have killed my children. I could not help it. I did not
know what I was shout." She mede use of other cams-
eons of • similar kind, but I did not pay perticular
attention, but proceeded to examine the children.
I found them both alive at tl.at time, but dread-
fully injared, and I saw at oars that the deceased Jane was
in • desperate condition and evidently dying—her skull
was fractured and the brain was ooze.* oat, and it was im-
possible she could survive. The other child was also
seriously injured, but she has since recovered. The in-
juries were such u would be produced by the mallet I
have seen in court.
