Evan Thomas surrendered to take his trial upon an in.
dktment charging him with laving committed perjury at
Manchester, on the 6th Jannery, during an inquest told
before the city coroner ow the body of Mrs. Mary Ann Bell,
a widow, from Basesetkwaite, sear Keswick, who died sad-
dimly at the Cathedral Hotel, Manchester, at the 6th Jan.
Mr. Hopwood sad Mr. Edwards appeared for the prose-
cution; and Mr. Chanted, Q.C., with Marra Higgin and I
Baker, were for the defence.
Mr. Overlaid, Q.C., in his address on behalf of the defen-
dant, urged that even the prosecution did not allege any
miscoadoct on the pert of Mr. Thomas to his treatment of
Mrs. Bell, and that the jury should diatoms their minds of
any prejudice menet the prisoner on the *armies that he .
had need any external violence to the women. He bad
throughout the aim acted in the most boat fide manner,
and had trul described the Mlle of death in stating that
she died in a fit of epilepsy. The whole eymp-
tams showed this to be the cause of death, and he asked if
there was anything to show that there was no congestion
of the brain. There might, he contended, bare been Inters
congestion on the 6th, when the prisoner and Mr. Braddon
made the postmortem examination, and, the blood vessels
of the heart having been divided, it might bare entirely
disappeared between that time ad the second examination
on the 9th. There wu no charge pint the defendant that
he bad endeavoured to procure abortion, and Mr. Overend
warmly contended that in hie professional capacity Mr.
Mionme was not bound to reveal the fact, even if be knew
it, that Lie patient was pregnant. It had nothing whatever
to do with the mum of death, and in such a owe lie argued
that it was the duty of a professional man to screen the
character at big patients. The leaned counsel strongly con.
tended that the only palate upon which, according to the
evidence, the defendant had been In error is his deposition'
were not material to the inquiry then going co, and that
there was so corruption or wilful false sleazing co his part.
After the summing up of his lordship the jury retired, and
were absent for two hours. They then returned with a

LATEST INTICLLIGEINUL

FRANCE AND POLAND.
ALLEGED INTERVENTION.

The Cologne Gazatie of Saturday publishes, in
large type at the head of its columns, a letter which
it has received from Vienna, to the effect "that the
French government insists upon the entire inde-
pendence of Poland, constituted a kingdom for the
Duke of Leuchtenberg, and has laid this new,
programme before the representatives of the great
powers at Paris." To this communication the Co-
logne Gaut& adds correspondence from Paris and
Berlin of similar purport, but limiting the scheme of
France to the ancient Grand Duchy of Warsaw.
In the letter from Paris we read " that France
• -

wishes to erect this great duchy into a sovereign
kingdom ; that the relations of this kingdom and
of Russia ought to rest solely upon the consangui-
nity of the two dynasties ; and that Prussia
will keep Posen and Austria Galicia." The Cologne
Gazette thinks that the consummation of this pro-
jest was the principal object of Prince Metter-
nich's visit to Vienna. It adds that it is not yet
known what Lord Palmerston may say to this
new programme, but his lordship has already
made an important concession by authorising Lord
Cowley to state that the cabinet of London would see
with pleasure the meeting of a congress at Paris.
The Nord of to-day refers to the above article as
being of an " extraordinary " character, but thinks
that more confirmation is needed.

MIDLAND CIRCIIIT..--WARWICK, MARCH 2&

CROWN Cotrar—(Before Mr. Justice Willem)
Henry Carter, 20, brass founder, was placed at the he,
charged with the wilful murder of his sweetheart, Alioe
Hinkley, on the 4th of December last, in Biesellotreet, Bir-
mingham. Prisoner pleaded " Not Guilty" in a nrm voice.
Mr. Adams prosecuted, and Mr. Ekes defended the pri-
soner.
The facts of the case ware these. The demand was a
young woman who had lived with her grandmother in
Artoun's-bnildinp, BiameU-street,Birminghem. On the night
of December 4 deceased was seen by Ler grandmother
Mending at the corner of the court, about half-pest ten
o clock at night, talking to the prisoner. No notice was
taken of that circumstance by her, as she knew that the
parties were " keeping company." The grandmother
spoke to the deceased, and ;lamed on to an adjoining
house, where she had scarcely been tire minutes when she
beard the report of • pistol in the direction she had left the
and deceased [together. She immediately harried
the end of the court, where she found her granddaughter
lying on the pavement dead from the effects of a pistol shot
wound. About a minute before • woman named Mary
Cowrie saw the deceased and the prisoner in conversation
together at the end of the court, and as she pared by ,
them she mid to the unfortunate deceased, `You had I
better go in, Alice, you have got • cold ;" to which she
replied,"! have not been here • minute." Upon this
Cowrie walked oa, but before she had gone many yards
she heard the primmer say, "Do you mean it ?' and the
deceased rejoined, " Yea, I will," or " Yea, I do." The
words were scarcely uttered when Cowrie heard • pistol
fired. She returned to the sod of the court. where she
found the deceased lying on the paned dead, and the
prisoner was gone. Between two and three hours after
this had occurred, the prisoner, governed by some irresisti-
ble impulse, returned to the court, and endeavoured to
enter the house where his victim lay dead. On the after-
noon of the 4th of December last, the prisoner bought a
double-barrelled pistol and some conical and spherical balls
at • shop in Birmingham, where he went in company with
• friend. After be had purchased them, bemired the aliop-
man what would be the effect if he fired either of the balls,
and he was cautioned to be very careful bow he used them.
The same pistol the primmer purchased was found near to
the deceased when she wee removed, one barrel of it having
been recently discharged and the other barrel being loaded
with one of the conical bullets bought by the primmer at an
earlier hour of the day. The remsinder of the bullets were
found the prisoner after be was apprehended. The
deceased
was only 17 years of e, bore an excellent
character, was very much redeemed, and of prepoemming

AN EPISODE IN THE HUNTING FIELD.-4n inci-
dent of an extraordinary and very miasma character oc-
curred on Saturday last, in connexion with the Duke of
Rutland's bounds. On that day the meet was at Croxton
Park, and a fox having been found he was run through
severs' villages in the vale, one of which was Buckminster.
Amongst the inhabitants of that village is • Mr. Mar-
shall, who owes a small freehold, and across his land
Bernard led the way with the hounds, huntemeo,
gentlemen in pursuit. Soon after the dogs lost the scent, end
the report of • gun was heard to follow immediately.
Mr. Storer, of Thorotoo, who was riding near the Duke
of Rutland at the time, expressed his fears that Reynard
had been shot, and upon inquiry this turned out to be
correct. It seems that Marshall was on his land with •
double-barrelled gun, and that when the fox passed near
him after the dogs bid lost the scent, he deliberately fired,
and having shot it dragged it into • hovel adjoining. Mr.
John Welby, of Allington, who was one of the first to
come tip to Marshall after this wanton act, demanded to
know the canoe for the same, saying that if he had ever
received any damage to his crops or land from the chase.
be had only to send in his claim, and compensation would
have promptly been made by the gentlemen of the hunt.
Marshall, in reply, made use of mast insulting language,
end, placing himself with his back to the door of the
hovel, stood with his gun in band threatening to shoot
the first poem who should attempt to obtain possession of
the fox. The Duke of Rutland, and the other gentlemen
of the hunt who bad come up, each earns in for their share
of abuse, the language made use of by Marshall being
remarkable neither for It. politeness nor elegance. The
duke calmly Inslstsd on the fox being given up, and as
Marshall Mill refused, he dismounted, banded his charger
to one of hi neivanta, and, going coolly up to Marsha,
eskathimby the oollar, and forcibly ejected him from 'deposi-
tion against the door of the hoveL The fox was thee token
and thrown to the doge. Whether the matter is yet ended
is not known, as It is reported that Marshall intends to peo-
oeed legally spinet hie gram of Rutland for seesult. —Not-

THE wzsrmiNsran PLAY.

Last night the A delphi of Terence was performed
by the students of Westminster School in the presence of a
large company, which included Dr. Trench, the late Dean
of Westminster and now Archbishop of Dublin,' Lord
Chelmsford, Sir B. Phi Humors, Mr. Beresford Hope, Arch-
deacon Hale, &c. As usual on then occasions the West-
minaten, "old" and " DIM" mustered strong, and the ad-
vent of Christmas, which for Westminster School means
the " Westminster Play," was celebrated by them in the
wonted spirit of joyous, happy good humour. We scarcely
ever recollect seeing a vacant seat in the dormitory of St.
Peter when the "Play" is on, while the younger and
more daring spirits finds a locus stanch in almost " in-
possible places." There is an esprit du corps which makes
the " Westruinsters" assemble in tremendous force when the
" Captain" of the school issues hie adeste ,tideies, and the
present was no exception to the general rule.
The performance was meat creditable. The parte were
well committed to memory, and the delivery was en-
treroelyidear and emphatic.
Mr. Trevor, as Captain of the School, delivered the pro-
logue.

The epilogue is a short farce, in which llama appear as
Lord Mayor of London. Mick; as alderman, Syrus as the
Lord Mayor's butler, Sumba and Ca as somewhat trouble-
some liverymen. The piece contains many funny allusions
to recent events in the City. Get& comes on the stage as a
metropolitan policeman, and snits the Lord Mayor out of •
serious difficulty. The " skit " was received with much
merriment.

It is not usual to deliver the prologue and epilogue for
publication till the final representstion, which will take
place to-morrow night.

HEALTH OP LONDON.

It appears, from the weekly return of the
Registrar-General, that the deaths in London have been
lees in either of the first two weeks of December than
they were in any of the last three weeks of November. In
the week that ended lest Saturday the number was 1,357.
The average number°, deaths in ten ourrespoodiog weeks
(taking the fiftieth in each of the years 1853-62) is,
with a correction for increase of population, 1,434. The
number actually returned for last week is lees by 77 than
it would have been if the average rate of mortality for the
wooed week of December bad prevailed. The births in the
week were wore numerous than the deaths by 743. Small-
pox exhibits a great decrease io its mortality compared wick
that of previous weeks. Only 11 cases of this disease were
registered. But the deaths both from scarlatina and typhus
were numerous ; 114 having been caused by the former
eomplaint, 76 by the latter. The mortality of typhus has
increased since October. Scarlatina appears to prevail much
is Kentish-town, Islington, Mile End Old Town, and
Camberwell. Phthisos was fatal in 142 cases. bronchitis in
132, and poettmorde in 93. These diseases were all lees fatal
than they had been in November, and the numbers
referred to them are lower than their respective averages.
These remarks hold particularly in regard to bronchitis.
Fifty-three persons died at the age of 80 years and upwards,
and Bof these were 90 years and upwards. Amongst them
were two centenarians. The widow of a bookbinder died at
the age of 100 years at 33, New Compton-street, St. Odes ;
she had occasion to call in a doctor except once for en
accident, and both sight and memory were good to the lest,
A farmer died at the age of 101 years at 9, Smithits net,

Last summer he was able to make hay and dig potatore. A
man died of " exhaustioe from want of sustenance." He
was takes to Guy's Hospital, but life was found to be ex.
tied when he arrived three. A man died of bronchitis,
' which is stated to have been caused by the fumes of ex-
ploded gunpowder.
Last week the births of 1,112 boys and 988 girls, in all,
2,100 children, were registered in London. In the ten nor-
responding weeks of the yews 1853-62 the avenge number

SANTO DOMINGO.

At Cuba they were in hourly expectation of an
arrival of 8,000 troops from Spain, for operations
against the Dominicans. The most sanguine hopes
were entertained that the rebellion would be sup-
pressed. A large number of wounded soldiers bad
arrived at the Havannab, for whnee benefit a public
subscription had been set on foot. Various successes
on the part of General Santana are reported.
The new Captain-General Vargasis exerting him-
self to put down the rebellion. The Spanish troops
are said to be full of enthusiasm, and ready to take
the field to pursue the rebels. A good many troops
were still concentrated in the capital, and a large
number of families had left Porto Plata for San
Domingo, for safety. The latest advice* from San
Domingo state that the Spaniards bad taken Bani,
and had gained some advantages over the Domini-
cans. Matters are reported to be favourable to the
Spaniards. The rebels were short of provisions.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

OWN oos ows

PARIS, TUESDAY EVIMING.

While K Pelletan was yesterday triumphantly
returned for Paris, the government sustained so-
other important electoral defeat in the provinces.
There was a vacancy in the Cate d'Or (of which
Dijon is the capital), caused by the government
candidate, M. Vernier, who was returned by a
majority (of 20,183 against 11,216) in June last,
having been appointed to the Council of State.
On this occasion the extraordinary revival of public
opinion in favour of liberty revealed itself in the
following figures :—Magnio, opposition candidate,
18,929 ; Sauna; government candidate, 15,350 :
majority, 3,579.
The reflection is now very generally made that if
the grand demonstration of Paris in June last
could have been known in the departments before
the polls were closed, the example would have been
infectious, and have produced the return of a great
many more liberals. It seems to me impossible

BLOCKADE Ru ?vsine.—The commander of
blockade runner usually gets 8001. • mood trip from
Bermuda or Nauru and the privilege of purchasing 12
bales of cotton for 151. a bale, which is worth 75/. at
Liverpool. It is only possible to make one trip during •
moon from Bermuda, but two could be made from Nassau.
The risk to the commander is fearful, as the Federal
cruisers are most dangerous to emmunior. The instructions
to sommanders of blockade runners are to sink their ships
I rails, than let them he saptarei by the Federal,. Each
blockade runner is well provided with boats, which mu be
lowered in a moment. These boats are provided with
rowing and steers'e gear, and with ten days' provisions.
Whe. there is oo chaise* fur the escape of the ship, at

that the line of improvement in Mansion.houesstreet,
as shown in the plan, including the site of St. Mil-
dred's church, to the west, and the line from the
Britannia Assurance Office to the east, be adopted, provided
that the Metropolitan Board of Works agree to contribute
one half of the actual cost of such improvement." Dr.
Letheby, the medical officer of health, reported on the
state of 225 houses that had been inspected dining the
week, and he submitted a list of 50 places for sanitary im-
provement. He likewise reported that the markets and
slaughter-houses had been duly inspected, an 4 that

deaths being the number for the corresponding period of the
last eight years. At the end of last month the weekly
Dumber of deaths was 76, it then declined to 60, and has
now fallen to 51. This shows a satisfactory state of public
health. The chief mimes of death were: I'bthia,s, 7;
romenterio disease, 2; broechitia, 5; scarlet fever, 6; coo-
tinned fever, 3; croup and diphtheria, :1; measles, 2;

fused to go in her, demanding their passage money, or ac-
commodation equivalent to what they had paid for. After

chased two farms at a valuation. Finding out that the
