The CHAIRMAN then proposed " Tan Army and Navy,"
and Galled upon Lail Hardiest. to speak to the tout.
Vsecetat HARDINGE, who wee very warmly welcomed,
avowed his pride is haviag bit nuns smosealed with the
army, In which he had been bred up from h a youth, and to
which he was devotedly attached. He would claim for the
army the approbation of their countrymen, as being a body
remarkable for their loyalty and fidelity to their sovereign,
and their attachment Silo obedience to the law, reedy as
they also were in the maiatenages of oonstitutneal liberty,
and repression of improper violence and license. (°lsar,
hear) If it souse is regard to their cioduct in here of
pesos and at home, he would venture to say that they had
equal claims ia their behaviour in I,tber times and other
acmes; ever ready at last they were to execute the orders
of their sovereign—he meat leave it to others to say hos
they were executed. (Cheers) At the assent moment
her Majesty's army was in ten patios—it had either
compered, or sow held oar-tenth of the whole globe. (Re-
amed cheers) The sable viscount thee turned to India as
a part of oar conquest., sad, after pay lag a tribal* of Deepest
to oar magnificent Indian army, briefly tread the career of
Lord Gough as ea example of a British °Meer, punting a
Mawr of honour sad renown, sot for vain glory, but in per-
formance of his duty to his country. With suck an army me
that of ladle, renowned for valour and discipline, and with
a civil service of singular ability sad beams, it was ise-
oulible bet that, with the talent and wisdom of Lord Dal-
bowie, the prosperity e. India should be consolidated and
perpetuated, and the power of England rendered secure.
(Cheers.)
Tb• health of " The Court of Directors " was proposed by
Mr. W. Blau, and briefly acknowledged by Major Ott-
rearm, who said it was in their hearts to do their duty to
the country they had to rule.
The health of " The late Govanor•Oennal of India, Vie-
meat Harding'," was then proposal by the chairman, and
(bunk with load cheers.
Vieceaat HARDINGB, in a few words, but with much
feeling, eckaowledfrad the compliment. He said he felt the
honour dome fit the honour done him by one who
would go down to posterity as the man who had fought and
non more battles than any commender in ladies. He would
add, that his own feeling of respect for the Indian army
would never cease. The officers were as accomplished and
able as those in Europe ; and the men both of the Euro-
pese and native srmy were noted for their fidelity, constancy,
and eoarege, and all the vinare of the soldier."
"The I midi of Sir J. L. Labiogton" was proposed by
Lord GOUGH, and duly honoured arid aeknowledeed.
"The health of the Governor General of I,,dis, Lord
Dalhousie," loaned the last toast, and was extremely well

SCHOOL OF DRAWING AND MODELLING
FOR THE WORKING CLASSES.

Last evening a meeting was held in the school-
room, Southampton.street, Easton square, for the purpose
of establishing a school " where drawing and modelling will
be taught to persons employed is those trades which regain
the ea-reims of taste as well as' skill, vis : 4 the lasting
sad ageing of metals, masonry, cumin', plastering, cabinet.

There were present about 500, chi. fly operatives.

the chair, sad in as able speech introduced the objects of the
undertaking, which were, fint, to provide the mesas of
mployatat for the leisure evenings of the anima ; and,
secondly, to enable theta to obtain the instruction new asary
for trade. Ws were about, he said, to enter fate competition
with the whole world in manufactures, end our manufac-
ture's had not • fair chance with these of France, when for
upwards of 100 years schools have been open in every
avroadimement for instroctien in drawing and modelling.
He hop'd soon to see suburban schools establiste f in all
pub and this district being most thickly populated with
Intelli; gent artleats, be thought it the best eakulstod
to take the lead. English workmen were as intelli-
gent as French, and he could Watts many instances
of oar moor Neste:ens men laying rabid themselves
Mein the lower ranks by study and penieveraitee.
A ettsimittee had been formed to starry oat the undertaking ;
a room engaged, capable of steamily &dug 200 students; •
half year's rent paid in advance, and an able master engaged
(Mr Cave Thomas, who hail gained one of the prizes at the
exhibition of cartoons in Westminster-hall). In conclusion
he sailed urn the English wire= to avid themselves of the
haennactlon eared ; and although they might enter the lilts
with the French people fa 1851 comport ely &kneeler,
he hoped in 1858 they would be as far before them in &alga

He aoly stabbed her owe. The deceased cried oat " Ile

prisoner stabbed her ski via 4WD. against the firr.pleee, ia
• chair. Wiutess Lamed the deettamd lab the street, and
saw her taken to • doctor's; shop near Petticoat-lase.
There was • great deal of blood to the street t'r at bad flowed

back to the prisoner's house, sod (cooed him sluing by the
fire, in the act of finishing his tea, and Vitale* ;Whited him
cum the sergeant, and he took him into oustedy. Hs was
using the knife he stabbed the deceased with to eat bread,
and the sergeant took that away also. There had bees
• deal of quarrelling between the primmer and the deceased
the same morals', and be saw the latter sharpening the
kaife it questiva spot an eartheraware pan, and she said
she was going to cut her t)'reat. The prtamer said, "De
it," sad Ikea took tko knife away from her. The deceased
was a sober wawa.

Hairy ---iairea, a sergeant of polies, depssed that he so.
compared the last witness to the primer's boar,
betimes six and seven in the truing of the likit of
February. He bad previously seen the defused, and ob-
served that eke was bleeding front a wound in the
seek, and she told him she the had been stabbed.
He told the prisoner that he took him in charge
lot stabbing his wife, and he said he knew all abate
it, and hoped he had not hurt her. Witness toll hint
he was aFraid be had, and that it was a deep wound. As
they were going I. the ratios, the prisoner said that t►e
kni'e he had used for cutting the bread wee the one he
stabbed his wife with. There was a nut deal of blood upon
the stairs of the primer's hare. The witness then pro
diced the knife.
Mr. Thomas Wyatt deposer that he was house surgeon at
the Linden Hospital, sad remembered the deceased being
brought there in the sieving of the 19th February. Upon
exsatiniist her he ascertained that she was bleeding from a
wound on the right side of the neck, and was .n a state of
partial collar., and very much exhausted. It was a Ma-
tured wound, and such a one as might have been produced
by the hair in the hands of the oflLer. The wound
was about time quarter of an inch loag, and three
inches deep. At first he did not consider that the wound
was mortal. Use derma lingered from the 19th to the
27th February, and then died. Her death was occarfued
by it firomation, caused by the wound. Upon spore merlons
examination, he found that the gullet had been completely
transfixed, and the knife ►ad pared through to the other
and had passed so close to the carotid artery that its
pulsatioa was visible.

Mr. Clarkson t►en peeper. d to put in a statement made by
the deceased on the 20th February, upon the ground that at
this time she believed herself to be ia a dying state ; but the
e tut ruled that there ahoald be some mere evidence upon
this point before the statement was read.
Mr. Nutria Vine depo-ed that he was chief clerk at Woe-
altip.street polies wart, and that be accompanied Mr.,
Hanissill, t►e magistrate, to the hovital, to take the depo-i-
Son of the deceased. The penoner was present while she
wet being exam;acd, end he had an opportunity of err •a.
examining her, and he did pat one one qnotion to ►er. He
took down the statement that wry made by the drceawd, and
read it over to her afterwards, aid the dep. i"on er:v then
signed by the magistrate.
Tne statement mede by the deceased was then read. It
merely confirmed the other evident • in the case, with the
addition that the deemed represented that the prisoner told
her be would give her something forgetting a warrant aeaia►t
him. She cud that this took place before she went into the
►one. ; and after tea had been got ready the prisoner mein
asked her where she had been during the day, and she
" that she would tell him the truth, that he had beaten
her so much in the morning that she had gone to the police
court and got a warrant against him." She added,tbat imme-
diately upon her saying this the prisoner struck at her, but
she did no.. at first feel any pain, bat immediately afterwards
°burying that blood wee flowing from her neck, she looked
at the prisoner, and saw that he had a small white-handled
knife in his hand, and site then felt that she had been stabbed,
and ran out of the house.

This sus the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Parry then addramed the jury for the prisoner, and in
a eery able address he urged upon them that they might
consistently with their duty find the prit wier guilty of man-
slaughter only. _ _

litiveral witiseesee wire celled, who deeeribed the prisoner
se being a kiud-hearted and humane man.

Mr. Justice Erie having summed up, the jury returned a
verdict of manalaaghter.
Sentence was deferred.
