twenty years of age. The evidence adduced in support of
this very painful case was as follows :—About half-part six
on Friday morning, she was lying in bed with her husband
and her infant, about five :months old, when she got out of
bed and immediately returned. She then sat up in her bed,
and, with an open razor, deliberately cut the little innocent's
throat ; she then proceeded from her bed-room to that of the
person in whose house she lodged, rapped at the door, and,
upon his coming out, she handed him her child, which he
perceived had received a severe cut in the throat : it was
bleeding very much. He thereupon sent for a surgeon, and
upon being asked to describe how she appeared when she
brought the child to him, he replied that she appeared
to be like a person who had the horrors, and was
completely out of her senses ; then he afterwards went
into her bed-room, and found her husband there, who
bad got out of bed, and upon speaking to him, he appeared
perfectly bewildered, .as if a man. beside himself;
not knowing what to do, The surgeon proved that two.
gashes bad been inflicted on the infant's throat with some
sharp instrument ; that he had dressed the wounds, and he
believed, with proper care' that the child • would live. • And
in addition, he said, that she had, on a previous occasion,
attempted to take the 'life of the child by administering
laudanum, which he had extracted and saved its life; and
that she had al

so, on a previous occasion, inflicted' serious
injury upon her own throat. Upon his being asked what he
supposed to be the cause, he stated, that he- had been the
attendant upon her family for some'years, and that God only
knew what trouble she had gone through. She is of highly
respectable connections, and her husband formerly.belenged
to a very respectable firm in Liverpool, but from his
dissipated habits and other faults, he had brought her to a
very low state, se as to induce her friends to believe that
she is not now in a sound. state of mind. The case was
ultimately remanded until Monday, for the attendance of
the surgeon who had been first called in to see the child.
She appeared to feel keenly her situation, and excited the
sympathy of the whole court. Her husband was present
during the investigation, but appeared somewhat cooler in
the matter.

the liberation of religion from
s imperatively _ called for by the present

condition of political parties, and the eharacier of passing
events. The tendency of public opinion and feeling, leans
more decidedly than ever to a settlement of the ecclesiastical
affairs of the country upon principles of Christian equity.
There are already several members of the House of Com-
mons—and the minibus hereafter 'may be greatly increased
—.who hold themselves ready to take advantage of their
position, in stimulating this tendency, and in turning it to
practical legislative account. The divided and distracted
state of the Established Church-the altered tone of public
sentiment in regard to it—the number and variety. of eccle-
siastical topics, which press for discussion and decision every
session—the Parliamentary footing already enjoyed by the
friends of free Christianity, and the desirableness of giving
a right direction to the public mind, whilst it is evidently in

a state of transition—seem to call for a most earnest, Con-
scientious and liberal endeavour to give to right principles all
the advantage they can derive from wisely-organised machi-
nery, and well-concerted action." Meetings for the ap-
pointment of delegates, are being arranged for in various
directions. Mr. Miall is to address meetings during the
next week, at Rochdale, Manchester, Halifax, and Bradford,
and in the week following, Mr. Burnett will be in Yorkshire,
