departure dear Bella had a very bad evening and night
of it, purely from the excitement of seeing you and the
fatigue consequent thereon. Vomiting sad purging :et in at
&fearful rate, which of counts prostrated her greatly. The
doctor at once forbade any visitors for the present, or he
would not be reasonable for the toillests attending thereon.

trying one. She la now, however, sok better, and I as

unite. She has not yet got over the emotion of meeting you,
poor dear, and is still looking forward to • very early later-
view ; indeed she would like to name Rowley next for your

visable to say the middle of next week, in order to gnerd
against anything of a nature which might try her weak
weer, sines it would be Impossible for her to hoar up against
She shock of the nitrous system; and on these grounds atom
she is ordered to hasp bar room, in order to get up her

By the Bench—They left on account of the rest being

By 91r. Goffeed—Witness remembered Dr. Stnethart
wishing to call in Mr. Hill, a outgun. but she suggested Dr.

redeit-k Bernard Senior, solicitor, was neat celled, and
said that on the rooming of Saturday, the 3Otla of April. the
prisoner cams and asked II ha would make a will Ile a rely,

He consented, and said he would come directly, bet the pri-
mmer aid he did not want him till the next day. An objec-
tion wee raked as it wen Sunday, when prisoner said it 'mut
be then as it was a can of necessity, as the lady was eo ill.
Witness said he would rather it be on Monday, to which the
prisoner consented if ho would agree to come on the Sunday
if required. The prisoner produced a piece of foolscap paper
with writing on ft, which he said had been prepared by a bar-
rister friend in London. About 9 o'clock on Sunday moni-
es Dr. Smethurst called upon him, and said he wanted
him, u the lady was very ill. Witness asked that the me-
' died man might be present, which Dr. Smethurst declined,
as the lady. was perfectly right in her mind. She
was suffering from diarrhea and vomiting, which
bad loved for about three weeks. Witness went
to the haus end wee shown into the perk= and the pri-
soner there told him that the lady and hinteilf were living
together as man and wife, and were not married, and unwill-
ing, consequently, that the medical man should be a within'.
Re farther raid that when some Chancery matters ware set-
tled they wonid leave Rkhmond for a little while and then
return and settle. They went npetairs and entered the
room where the lady was 11l in hod. Dr. Smethurst said,
This Is the gentleman my dear, who has oome to make
your will." Sbe than ircelsced a pager, the sans that I had
before seen, from under her pillow ; and en ascertaining from
her that it wee quite with the exception that the
wished to leave a Mend • met with diamonds and
pearls, and containing her kithees hair, the will wen com-
pleted, Dr. Surthtnet being Toads sole executor. It was reed
over and pronounced sone* and on a witness being eked
for, Dr. gineiburat said he enfold hcoli Miss Wheatley, the
daughter of the landlady, bat he did not want her to know it
was a will. That being overruled, when they were about to
attest, after the lady's sigtore, Dr. Sreethunn said, " Yea
have not said b a will." The will was then properly
signed and attested.
By Mr. Gifford—Dr. Smethurst was present all the time.
The lady was perfectly cognisant of the act she was doing.
Evidence was then given by the nurse attendant on the
deceased respecting the forwarding the retchings to the police,
as alai the letter addressed by the prisoner to Mrs. Smethurst,
his wife, above given.
Mr. %Mem then stated that he had now proceeded ais
far as possible with the fact of the cue without touching the
med..al evidence, and he would therefore ask for a retnend.
The Bench complied with the request, and the prisoner was
removed, en attempt at an expression of feeling in court hay-
ing been cheated by the polite.

gentleman well acquainted with the duties repaired of the
governor of • gaol of this description, and who has given
the greatest satisfaction by the manner in which be ham per-
formed his own ditties. The genital Impression was that this
gentleman was well fitted for the tae of governor, sad that
he would receive the appointment. It appears, however, that
the committee of aldermen appointed - 0 investigate the
claims of the different candidates have reported that Mr.
Jones was Ineligible, on account of his age; and the
candidees selected by them, from whom the flea

ACCIDENT TO MAJOR•GENERAL SIR RICHARD
_ __ .

Amer.—Yesterday morning on accident occurred to Usk*.
General Sir Richard Ahoy, which, providentially, has not
been attended with any very serious oonsequancee. It sp-
pears that the gallant major, accompanied by his dangliese,
according to his usual habit, wee riding on horseback in the
perks, attended by a groom. At about 11 o'clock, whoa near
the gate in the perk leediag to St. James's Palace, his horse
suddenly swerved, and started at a gallop, throwleg !derider
with greet violence to the ground, by which he received
some Widths on the right hip. Sir Richard, however,
speedily arose, and beyond a few bruises and being covered
with dirt, had moaned no material injury. His horse,
which had pursued its career, was secured and brought back,
and the major re-mounted, sowing hie daughter be had re-
ceived no serious injury, and requesting her to continue her
ride attended by the groom, vials he himself proceeded to
his reddest:leis Grosvenor-piece.
At.'CIDENT AT ST. JAMES'S HALL.—Yealerdity
mooning an accident which created conaderabie slum, and
might have bon atteniltd with serious easesquance., took
place at St. Jameda Hell, Piccadilly, at the anniversary
meeting of the Irish Church Mission Society. The meeting
was very numeroualy attended. and the platform wee crowded,
when jest a. the Rey. A. R. C. Dolls., the secretary, bed
c rack led reading the report, the railing in front of the plat-
form gave way, owing to the pressure from behind, and revere!
gentle:use were precipitated head foremost out to the floor of
the hell. Fortunately, although revers! ladles were in the
immediate vicinity, no one was under the spot. Mr. Beau-
mont, of Nottingham, who was standing in the frost row,
was, however, thrown very heavily to the grouted, sad
severely binned. Several other gentlemen were also precipi-
tated into the body of the hall, but beyond a severe
*hiking sustained no melons inconvenience. Mr. Beaumont
wen leas fortunate. Be was taken up nearly insensible and
convoyed into the committee-room, where restoratives were
applied, and we are happy to say that before the meeting
broke up he was sufficiently ee'overed to be removed to his
own house. Of course considerable alarm was felt in the
steetieg, and great confusion took place, which was only
quieted by an awareness from the chairman that no serious
Injury had been sustained. It wen some time however before
the excitement wee sufficiently subdued to enable the pro-
ceedings of the meeting to be resumed.
THE ACCIDENT ON TUB CORNWALL RAILWAY.

which ha suspects! ehst some portion of the train
had got oS the line. Be leatently applied the broths
with tall force, and hi. carriage, together with the
yen, came to a standstill on the viaduct. He tra-
rneditttly premeds& down the slops to the other car-
riages, and found that they were immersed in seven feet od
water. lie waded and swam out to them, and got out leve-
ed cf the occupants. Be could net ia say way sanest for
the engine getting off the line, and he believed that the
occurrence WAS purely accidentaL Various witsteres who
were then examined agreed in saying that the Main was not
pr .c.e ling at any unusually high speed ; end the jury, after
311 minusea' absence, returned a verdict of " Aandeotel
death" with regard to the peewee killed; adding, that it wee
their opinion that the 'peed of traits coming down an incline
should be diminished, especially where the line was new.
Mr. Breretoa sold that, without any reference to the aced-
dent, the b sard had perviously determined to lesion the speed
en the line, although et the time it was only the twos as
that observed on the South Devon line.

LONDOII, THURSDAY, MAY 12.

T/IE question of absolute neutrality sr dynastic
interfcrcuce abroad is a question of taxes or reforms
at home. livervention means cumulated taxes and
arrested reforms ; neutrality means national wealth
augmented, and national self-development unchecked.
The cricket of the British Gnernment is the midst
of European emergencies is no speculative or senti-
mental concern of sectional partisanships or fancy
sympath:cs. It is a question which every housewife
in the kingdom can discern as nicely as the freest
and most independent elector in the land. It comes
home to every cupboard and every till is town and
country—from the counting-house is the City
to the general shop in the village—from the
merchant on 'Change to the salesman and the jobber
in the local market. The most incompetent candi-
date for the honours of middle class examinations is
just as capable as the hoariest Cabinet minister of
forming an opinion opon the merits of • policy rigidly
deft naive, and the risks of a policy fretfully and
family meddlesome, neither taking sides nor stand-
ing honestly aloof. We al: know what to expect'
from our numerous poor relations "of kindred
" origin," who, without precisely glorying in the
honour of Great Britain, u poor old GEORGE the
THIRD did, are perfectly ready to confide
in the proverbial fecundity and facility of
the British Excheqmer. We all know how bravely
acd cheerfully patriotic German statesmen and
leading German families will take oar money to
fight for the safety of the fine old monarchical prin-
ciple, end for the security of their own frontiers
and estate,. Every man, women, and child in these
fortunate islands knows the privilege of powerful
armies awl the luxury of "commanding fleets." It
won't be the fault of oar betters if we inns favoura-
ble opportunity of exemplifying on a gigantic scale
the proverbial danger of playing with edged tools.
As a pugnacioas people we are proud to hear, on
high authority, that we hare, or are to have,
squadrons careering up and down the southern sea,
and pendants fiyieg in every port. 'Tie a great advan-
tage no doubt to have a giant's strength, but • ,
greater to hold it in beneficent reserve, not to waste

what is worse, to prostitute it to the good plenum
of decrepit dynasties and exhausted "yams.
It is one thing to be ready to defend ourselves,
and another he ras► between ►ostile combatants sad
to insist es reeenhig the largest share of the blows.
l'ablie feeling is this anstry is lapsing into one of
those periodical fever of simulated panic which are
too apt to result real calamities. Not one seam in
a thousand really believes is an invasion of England

arenas at Ceeeteetieerle—not one in twenty
in • NArotioxlc dash et the Rhine. But
as everything which cannot be proved impos-
sible may be renounced a potaibility, all and
each of these tremendous eventualities are thrown
into the cauldron of popular clap-trap, and worked
up into awful incantation by intriguers la high
place", and by their privileged confederate'. The
brining shepherds cry Wolf, and the poor simple
muttons bleat • piteous demand to be shorn. The
polite publicists of good society who occasio-ally
dented into the vulgar arena, se the representatives
So! 91 much of the most heavily burdened elan of
tax-payers, as of the class most ab le to bear the burden,

of their sanatory, that we should return to the

sweep the chords of a careless lyre, and to mud

We cannot find it in our hearts to criticise thermos
of a poet who is charged with the prosaic office of

formidable than his fire-irons, arouses an echo in
thousands of simple hearts, and the affected fresh-
ness of disdain for borough politics is forgotten in the
brilliant appeal to civic arms. We needed uninspired
alarmist to recommend the formed°n of volunteer
legions, or to raise the military spirit of Eng-
lishmen in defence of their hearths and home.; it
was the next Reform Hill, poor still-born Tory
bantling, that wanted an epitaph. In the public
meetings which are being held on the war, it is
too e‘ident that the speakers and the sodded:es are
eager to march with the lyrical poet to the rescue
of the TOT-jet, and to march wi.h all the blind and
touching cothdenco of regular troops. Not con-
tent to isaist on the they and necessity of
national vigilance, and readiness for all contin-
gencies, and with an exaltation of meanness which
will be appreciated in high quarters, they earnestly
profess no sympathy for the suffering cause—the
cause of national independence, the cause of Italy
rising with one mind and one arm against her Aus-
trian oppressor. Now, this may be the cue of Court
poets ; it is not, we take leave to aura, the expres-
sion of the heart and soul of liberal England. It is
not among the ft iends of Italy, bet among the spoke-
gists of Austria, that intrigue against the aSsoluts
neutrality of England are sidled iste song.
