DISGRACEFUL STATE OF THE SERPENTINE.—The
I:lmpends. is a most positive nuisance. We entreat any one
who may docilc the truth of our desertion to satisfy himself
personal hivestigathe of the real state of the came.
Within the last few days the miasmata which it emits have
become so attendee that steely ratios inlet be taken In the
matter or evil will surely follow, which we shall all deplore
when it le too late. In the earlier part of the meson some
feeble attemota were made to abate the virulence of the
stench by elating into this metropolitan lake cettain modi-
cums of lime. There are trues of the presence of this pal-
liative on the banks, as though to mark how the nymph Ser-
pentine had spurned the purifying agent from her dirty
breaat. Yon might as well have admfoietered • seldlitz powder
to a dead body in the hope of staying the progress of
corruptten. There is but one adagio do, which is to drain
the lake thoroughly, as was dote with the street of orna-
mental writer in the gardens of St. James's-per it. No half
racemes will be of the slightest avail. We do not, of
course, mean to say that this can be el, ne just now, when
things are at their wont. To expare the coagulated tilth of
the Serpentine to the settee of a July sun would probably
be to send the inhabitants of Knightsbridge, Keueingtoe,,
and Mayfair out of the world, or out of town, before the 12th
of August. Till the colder weather returns ouch palliatives
as are possible must be applied, and when the summer hie
ceased away let the only real end effective remedy be sp.
plied. The Serpentine must be drathed ; what
pollutkets are poured Into it, or percolate into It,
must be diverted Into atelier channel; the bottom must be
left exposed for • cerein sad sufficient period to the purifying
to/limner of the air, and finally be dealt with as was the
bottom of tbe ornamental water in Et. Jatuels-park. This
is no idle speculation. We have present before our eyes,
what to perhaps more important, our noses, the results of an
operation of the kind. Why should not that which has once
succeeded so admirably succeed again ? The purification of
the St. Janee's waters has proved one of the mast gratifying
improvements of the metrepas in our time. We are there-
fore most snxions to late the results of cur experience brought
to bear upon a nuisance similar in kind, but for morn lateen

was so much damaged t et it was impouitue to decide on its
original colour. About two yards off were found a blue

The trial of this preseentlos was reamed this morning.
Mr. Chambers flail before addleming the jury he should
onbinit that there was no each nos to go the jury under any
COO of the caws in the iod‘ctin nt. that could effect Mr. Mar-

Now ttio evidence showed that Mr. Mersha had not re-
ceived • farthing from Mt. Brieder ; 4 ■ the contrary, it was
plain that whatever mom, WAN laid was paid to Aire-
drug end Co, He appretm old' it would not suffice to
make out that altloutaly a part of the 4001a=

Mr. James raid those touts would not be considered u

The lm'd Chid Justioe said be ettcnid reserve Mr. Cham-
ber:B objections for cusaideratirn.

Mr. Chambers then rose to &Mast the jury on behalf of
Mr. Marshall. The learned gentleman, in the first place,
confessed the difficulty which ho felt, is common with all
lawyer' wider similar circumstances, at finding himself cn•

ceeded to comment oe the 'treat it oath of the indictees:at,
which could oily ben drawn in r. ohm to embarrass the de-

without any illegal Oct having bees done. The evident of
the Doke of Cambridge and 84 C. Yorke made
that clear. The real fact was, Morahan was a
tailor, acting in tbe eapicity of an army agent,
he bad given his knowledge and the lamb of his experience,
which was his herd, to obtain the entessern. It might be
