CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER.
Selina Kent, IZ, was indicted for the wilful murder of her
illegitimate child. Thero was also a second indictment
against the prisoner for concealment of birth.
The trisoner resided in th 3 City-road, and from certain
circumstances it was suspected that she had been confined_
and on searching the water-closet the body of a child was
found dead, with part of a st )cking round its neck.
The jury acquitted the prisoner of the capital offence,
but found her guilty of concealment of the birth.
Baron Channell said he entirely concurred in the verdict
of
-the jury. The learned judge sentenced her to 9 months'
imprisonment.
MANSLAUGHTER.
Patrick Ils)es was indictei for the manslaughter of
Cornelius Daly,
Both the prisoner and the deceased were confined in the
Milbank Penitentiary, Hayes being under sentence of 10
years' penal servitude, by sentence of court-martial, for
striking his superior officer. The deceased was directed to
inspect the prisoner's cell, who was reported for uncleanli-
ness, and whilst he was so engaged the prisoner struck
him, and he eventually died.
Tae jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The learned judge sentenced him to be kept in confine-
ment for two years, the second to commence at the expira-
tion of the first.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
Charles Wiseman surrendered to an indictment charging
him with feloniously stealing a quantity of household fur.
niture jointly with the wife of James Burr, a constable of
the A division, and absconding with her with the intention
of cohabiting with her in a state of adultery,
The jury found the prisoner guilty, and
The Recorder sentenced him to twelve months' im-
prisonment.

A LUCKY ESCAPE.
A lad named Orr was found guilty of stealing a pair of
trousers. He had formerly been sentenced to four years'
residence in a reformatory.
The Recorder said it appeared he was intent on doing
wrong, and, as he had been previously convicted, he should
sentence him to six years' penal servitude.
In a minute or two after the learned Judge discovered
the former conviction had not been charged, and under the
circumstances he would alter the sentence to two year's'

imprisonment.
The prisoner seemed much pleased with the decision of

ON CHLORATE OF POTASSA AND ITS USE IN OXYDISING

THE BLOOD.
Dll. S. P. SARGEANT, M.R.C.S., and L.S.A.
(1836', will shortly repeat his Lecture on this subject
at St. James's Hall, Piccadilly, and will satisfactorily prove
that Chlorate of Potassa, (as prepared by passing chlorine
through a mixture of quick-lime and water, and subsequently
boiling a lon time with Chloride of Potassium) is a most
active remedy for oxydising the blood, and restoring vitality
to the low, vitiated state of the nervous system, and is there-
fore calculated to supersede the use of iron, mercury, quinine,
and sarsaparilla.-56, Gower-street, Bedford-square, London.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

COMMITTAL WITROUT A FINE FOR ASSAULT—A
DANGEROUS FELLOW.—George Humble, a wan with only
one arm, described as a painter, of 27, Castle-street,
Holborn, was charged as follows :
From the evidence of George Castles, 69 C, it appeared
that on the previeus night he was called to the shop of a
tradesmaa in Oxford-street to remove the prisoner, who
was making a great disturbance. He requested the pri-
soner to go away, when he said that if he (Castle) " laid a
finger on him he would smash his head." He then
took the prisoner into custody, when he became very
violent, and it required four constables to take him to the
station. While on the way there a person called out
" mind the knife," and on looking in the prisoner's hand,
an open knife was found, The prisoner threatened to " do"
for one of the constables.
Edward Rowlett, 145 C, proved going to the assistance
of Castle and being thrown down by him, and also kicked
in a tender part.
In his defence the prisoner said he had just come from
Scotland, and that he had fallen in with some friends, who
gave him a little drink, which had a great effect on his
head, as it had always done since ho had lost his arm.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constables said the pri.
soner was not sober.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed him for a month.

STATE OF TRADE,

MANCHESTER, March I.—The market for ship
ping yarns has been very quiet ; very little busi
ness has been done, and, generally speaking, prices
are weaker for all counts, though hardly to an ex-
tent which will admit of quotation. There have
been several offers made at low prices for various
counts of yarn, but, so far, spinners have declined
to accept them. This branch of the market closes
very quiet, and certainly without any improvement,
in any sense, as compared with last week. The
absence of India telegrams has had a quieting effect.
For home trade yarns there has been but little in-
quiry, and prices are also slightly in favour of
buyers in this class of spinnings. The cloth-
market is quite as dull as that for yarns, but
still prices are tolerably well maintained, except
in cases where pods have been pressed on
the market, and in such instances sellers have bed
fied e

c

The Death of Colonel Brown,

_
Mr. Shaw, barrister, No. 1, Harcourt-buildings, Temple,
came to the Marlborough-street court yesterday, and, ad-
dressing Mr. Tyrwhitt, begged to make a short statement
with reference to the death of Col, Browne, who died sud-
denly a few days ago under circumstances which had given
rise to misapprehension, and which his family wished to
see correctly explained, He (Mr. Shaw) was the nephew of
Col. Browne, and, therefore, could vouch for these particu-
lars. Col. Browne had been spending the day with his (ap-
plicant's) brother, and had drank nothing whatever, being
a remarkably abstemious man. IN hen ho left in the even-
ing the remark was made that the Colonel never appeared
in butter health. Col. Mown° was seized with a sudden at-
tack of apoplexy while on the top of an omnibus in Picca-
dilly, and being taken charge of by the police, who were
under the impression that ho was intoxicated, be was re-
moved to the station, where, becoming worse, he was at-
tended by the divisional surgeon, and ultimately sent home
to
lodgings in Regent-street, where he shortly after-
wards
expired.
He wished particularly to state that the sup-
position that Col. Brown was intoxicated was entirely un-
his
founded. He did not wish to make any complaint against
the police, but ho thought they ought to have allowed Col.
Brown to have a cab to his lodgings, as he requested, espe-
cially a° a gentleman, now in court, Mr. Jeffi ies, son of the
publisher in Soho-square, came up at the time and told the
constables that ho knew the gentleman. He hoped, as the
press had given Publicity to the case, that this explanation
would also be given to the public.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was difficult to discriminate some-
times butt eon eases of sudden illness and intoxication, and
the police acted with proper discretion taking in parties to
the statio

THE NEW NOVEL.-AT ALL LIBRARIES,

BELLAD O N N A;
or, The Cross before the Name.
From the Saturday Review.—" There are certain charac-
teristics about this story which give II a peculiar p,ace apart
from most of the other novels of the season. The interest
lies in the skilful manner in which the plot is worked out by
the subtle brlin and artful carriage of the heroine."
From the Spectator.—" Mr. Dyce possesses rare power.
One of the most successful novels of the season."
From the Examiner.—" This story is tuld with much clever-
ness by the lightest of touches."
From the Reader. —" A remarkable novel. The author's
power of evolving and depicting* character is rare."
Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street.
London, England, 1864-03-02

STAINES, WOKINGIIAM, AND WOKING.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Friday at the offices in Lincoln's inn-fields ; Mr. J. Garrard
in the chair.

The report was taken as read.
The CltAirtmAN, ire moving the adoption of the report,
said that, though the traffic for the past halt .year had re-
trograded, the traffic for the past year showed a decided in-
crease, as compared with former years. Some of the schemes
before Parliament for railways to their line, if carried out,
would act as feeders to it.

Mr. WILKIN seconded the motion, which was unani
mously adopted; and a dividend at the rate of 1 per cent
per annum on the ordinary stock was declared.
Ttte retiring directors, Mr. J. Garrard and Mr. It, W
Kennard, ware to elected, and also Mr. Prideaux, the re-
tiring auditor.
London, England, 1864-03-02

THE MALT DUTIES.

Mr. MORRITT gave notice that, in consequence of the
pressure of public business, be should be unable to bring
forward his motion on the malt duties.
IRON-PLATED VESSELS.

Mr. FERRAND g, we notice that to-morrow ho will ask
the S.,Trotary of the Admiralty whether contracts have been
taken for two iron-plated gunblats, or were about to be
taken, by two shipbuilding firms.

TREASURE TROVE.
Sir J. C. JERVOISE moved for a return of all objects
coming under the denomination of Treasure Trove which
have been claimed by the Solicitor of the Treasury on be-
half of the Crown, between the 13th day of March, 1863,
and the Ist day of March, 1861 ; setting forth the date of
such claim, description of treasure, estimated value, and
how disposed of (in continuation of Parliamentary Paper,
No. 131, of Seskion 1863). The motion was agreed to.
London, England, 1864-03-02

CHAIN CABLES AND ANCHORS BILL.

Mr. LAIRD moved that thE, house should go into com-
mitteo on this bill.

Mr. M. GIBSON wished to propose that before going
into committee of the whole house on this bill it would be
very desirable that it should be referred to a select commit-
tee. The subject was one of a very special kind, and many
technical points had to be considered for the good working
of the measure. It was desirable for all parties that the
bill should undergo a very strict investigation before a
select committee. It was not an unfrequont course for the
house to adopt in cases of this kind, and there were two or
three points in the bill which it was very necessary a select
committee should well weigh. Ire moved as an amendment
that the bill be referred to a select committee.
Mr. W. CRAWFORD seconded the amendment, which,
after a short discussion, was agreed to.

CANTERBURY HALL.
The Fairy Entertainment, entitled

PRINCE BLOSSOM IN THE LAND OF SHADOWS!
Is written expressly for this establishment by W. F. Vander-
veil, author of the celebrated " Enchanted Hash," and en-
ables Mr. Morton, with the aid of Professor Pepper's Optical
Illusion (known as the (;host), to produce effects never before
contemplated, and which have all been duly registered by
him and Mr. J. H. Weston under the title of The Ghost in
the Magic Fountains." By this new arrangement, that
which is in reality nothing but a shadow, becomes to all ap-
pearance endowed with life, and when " Fame" takes her
flight through the burning Cataracts, and the Naiads seek
their beds in the Crystal Waters, form a coup d'cell of beauty
unparalleled even in fairy romance.

French Academy of Sciences.

At the last sitting a paper was received from M.
Riondet, commander of the Sainte-Barbe gunboat,
on certain curious researches made by him in a lib-
rary at Vera Cruz, on longevity in those parts. Our
readers will be surprised to hear that from the census
taken in 1831, the latest on record it would seem, it
appeared that notwithstanding the notorious un-
healthiness of the climate of Vera Cruz, there were
in that year eleven persons in the district, upwards
of 100 years old. Dr. Binet sent in a paper on
phthisiophoby, that is, fear of consumption, which
he considers to be a disorder by itself. It may be
so, no doubt, but would it not perhaps be nearer
the truth to classify it as a mere offshoot of spleen,
or melancholy ? A report was read by M. de
Tessan on the writings of M. Tromaux, an archi-
tect by profession, but still better known as one of
the most indefatigable travellers of the present
time. M. C. Sainte-Claire Daville read a paper
on the limits of perpetual snow. Humboldt had as-
sumed that the altitude of those limits was deter-
mined by that point where the thermometer never
rose above freezing point ; but M. Durocher after-
wards expressed some doubts as to the perfect sound-
ness of this principle, and M. Renou has •since
modified it as follows :—The line of demarkation of
perpetual snow Is at that altitude where the mean
temperature is freezing point during the six warmest
months of the year.—Dr. Jobert de Lamballe read
a report on a highly important paper from Dr.
Philippeau on deafness. The author describes some
new experiments on the perforation of the drum er
tympan of the year. In order to ascertain whether
a patient labouring under deafness can hope to re-
cover his hearing or not, Dr. Philippeau applies a
common watch to the temples, and if he hears the
ticking his cure may be considered certain.

LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—During the storms
of the past year the boats of the National Lifeboat
Institution saved 417 persons from different wrecks on our
coasts. The Inst itution has also expended £13,819 3s. 2d. in
the same period on lifeboat establishments, in addition to
granting £1,351 63. Od. as rewards for saving 714 shipwrecked
persons by its lifeboats, and other means.
The Committee of the Institution earnestly AP PEAL to the
public for ASSISTANuE to enable them to meet the con-
tinued heavy demands on the Institution's 125 lifeb at estab-
lishments. Contributions are received by all the London
and country bankers ; and by the Secretary, Richard Lewis,
at the Institution, 14, John-street, Adelphi.

President—His Grace the Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G.

The numerous and urgent appeals of the sick poor for ad-
mission compel the Committee to entreat the bounty of the
affluent and humane, as the medical officers are daily obliged
to treat as out-patients many distres -ing cases which. with
more adequate funds, they would gladly admit into the wards.
The premises of the Hospital are capable of containing 500
beds.
The Hospital is not endowed, but is wholly dependent on
voluntary contributions and legacies, which are received by
the Treasurer, Edward Masterman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also
by Messrs. Coutts and Co. ; Drummond and Co. ; Herries and
Co. ; Ransom and Co.;Prescott, Grote, and Co. ; Smith,

RAILWAY BILLS.

Yesterday th 3 committees appointed to decide upon the
merits of certain new railways met for the first time in the
north corridor of the House of Commons. where the attend-
ance of the public and of the parties interested was un-
usually large. The first committee, consisting of Mr. G.
Hardy (chairman), Sir J. Acton, Sir H. Bruce, and Messrs.
Bellew and Walker, had referred for their consideration the
following suburban railways :—Edgware, Highgate, and
London—Tottenham and Hampstead Junction (Alexandra.
park Extensions)—Hammersmith and City—Hammer-
smith and Wimbledon—Crystal Palace and South London
Junction—Crystal Palace (new railways)—Finchley, Wil-
lesden, and Acton—Kew, Turnham Green, and Hammer-
smith—Kingston, Tooting, and London—London and
South-Western (Kensington, &c., Extension)—North and
South-Western Junction—Tooting, Merton and Wimble-
don—Watford and Edgware Junction—and Wood-green
and Enfield Railway. The committee selected for conside-
ration the Alexandra-park railways—the Edgware, High-
gate, and London—and the Tottenham and Hampstead
Junction. Mr. t,enison, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Wilkin-
son, opened the case for the promoters of the Edgware,
Highgate and London at great length. The object was to
make an extension from the main line, which would be
completed by the end of the year, and which runs from the
Great Northern, through Highgate, Finchley, and Hendon,
to Edgware. The extension, though only 1 mile 51 chains,
was most important, since it would commence at the Great
Northern at Hornsey, and connect Alexandra-park and
Muswell-hili with the metropolis. Lord Fermoy, M.P.,
chairman of the Alexandra-park Company, and Mr. J.
Everett gave evidence in favour of both the proposed Alex-
andra-park lines. They would prefer, however, that they
should stop outside the park-gates, and that the line within
it should be made by the Park company. Mr. Cawk-
well, manager of the London and North-Western, and Mr.
Fuller, surveyor, were also examined in favour of the T
't-
tenham line. Mr. Merewether, Q.C., who appeared for the
competing line, the Tottenham and Hampstead (Alexandra
Extension), stated that it would be '2 miles and 15 chains
from a junction with the company's authorized line, near
the north side of the Holloway-road, to Bath-lodge, Mus-
well-hill ; and that the second portion would be one mile
three chains from the last point to a junction with the Great
Northern at its Colney-hatch and Southgate station. After
some further evidence, the committee adjourned to 12 o'clock
this day.
