six, P.m., on Monday night, she shaped -her course with a
fresh head wind for 'Tuskar. At eight A.M. on Tuesday
morning' she was abreast of the Saltees, the wind up to this
time having been fresh and dead against her. Here it died
away. The ship's head was turned and the course shaped for
the South Stack. Soon after ten the engines were put on at
full speed, and so remained, without drawback, for ten
hours, the average rate being fully ten keets an hour. The
ship was kept the whole night out in mid channel. At five
A.M. yesterday morning the engines were turned on again at
full speed, and the course shaped back for Liverpool. She
passed the Sherries at thirty minutes past seven, Point Lynes
at twenty-five minutes past eight, and the Bell Buoy at noon.

the authority of the same, that i•o often as her Majesty shall,
by h( r royal proclamation, appoint a time for the first meet-
ing of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Bri-
tain and Ireland atter a disstthition thereof. the time 80 to be
appointed may be any time less than fift3- days after the date
of such proclamation, the Act of the fifth year of Queen
Anne, chapter 8, article 22, or any other law or usage, to
the contrary notwithstanding; provided that the time so
appinted &hail hot be tm, thou thirty-five days after the
date of such proctamation."

The Roman Journal of the 15th inst. states that
the Pope had nel4 a Secret C insistory in the morning
of that day, at which foar new Cardinals of the Holy

The Piedmontese Chamber of Deputies met on the
18th inst., to hear the interventions of M. Ferraccia
relative to the recent events at Sassari. M. Ferraccia
rose and said :--
•• Hiving been !mum-riled, with the other deputies of
Sardinia, ny the Minister of the to
toe
I did not think
proper to elfer any oppraition, the state of siege being
elre Ay d..c'eed. Any observation I could have made
would have been tardy and useless. B.sides. I was not in
possssion of the inf tura' ion I have since receivt d. I am
n .q/ enabled to state nil) certainty that the deplorable
events of Sieseri were brin4ht, ab nit by petty persona-
and iristi!ta offered by the rifl-ten to peaceable
citizsna, leftrii..were under the necessity of detending
themselves. The' procleetrafieh nt the ritato of siege is,
on tne part of the Cabinet. an abuse ot pryer. If any body
be responeiule for the recant conamaticns in Serdinie it is
the Governaient, which never thought of organising the
pol;ce or replacing the troops guilty of insubordination.
The Nlinistry asserts that .S rrdint a is infested with secret
societies, who.e object is to separate the island from Pied-
mont. The Sardinians aro cosituatrd with sentiments of
union and fratercity. The diserders and offences, re-
pressed on certain notate of the island, have been pro-
duced by want of foresight on the part of the Govern-
ment. by the d-testable mode of asseasing the
tax.e, the obstacles thrown in the way of
industry and trait), and by the apathy of the
coos itured authorities. I will never approve
measures of aheexeeptiertel character, for they recill to
my mind the period of vice-regal despotism. It would
be preferable, in my opinion, to favour the intellectual,
mar .1, and civil development of the country. I conse-
qv:wetly .ceineider that I am fulfilling a duty, in calling
the Ministry to account for suspending the eft' cts of the
Constitution in the province ot Sasnri, with-ut having
been previously authorised to do so by a law."
M. Peroati, Minister of the Interior, replied—

The anniversary festival at this useful charity was
celebrated on Tuesday evening at the. London Tavern,Vis-
count Mahon, M.P., in the chair. The Noble Chairman
having gives' the loyal toasts, with a few appropriate
remark', in prOposing the " toast of the evening," said
such meetings as the present' were peculiar to this
country, and it was cheering
,to' perceive that gentle-
men ot opposite politicst principles could unite Cordially
in supporting a charitable society. In pleading on be-
half ot this institution, he. noticed its value in seeking
out and supporting the decayed and unfortunate, who were
deserving of receiving, its.benefits. And he considered
that it would be much better if individuals were
contribute to such charities where the merits of the re.
cipients were strictly inquired into, instead of mis-
takenly eto)uraging thuse impostors' who abused
their benevolence. He drew an amusing pic-
tura of the tricks practised by professed mendicants
from Sheridan's play of The Critic. Mr. Thomson,
the cb%irnasn of the directors, proposed the health of the
Noble Chairenan, and stateerthat E.rl Stanhope had an-
ceptel thaAilice of the president of the society, and had
been *awl to send a donation of 10/, and to double his

56,9941. had been durributed by. the society since its
commencement-to 882 pensioners. There were at pre-

ACCIDENT TO A CLERGYMAN.—We regret to state
that the Rev. Charles Oxenden, the respected rector of Bar-
ham; net with an accident in the course of last week, which
will, we fear, incapacitate him from fulfilling his parochl
duties for some time to come. Mr. C. Oxendo.t was walking
rapt terrace bank fronting his house, and in the effort to re-
coverin the

the tendons of the leg, just aboV,e
the ankle. To a gentleman of his active habits this is a mot
r, when he slipped down an ab-
rupt
unfortuna,te occurrence, seeing that though neither dangerods
nor painful, the accident is one which requires entire rest and
perfect 'quiescence. Our readers may remember that some
months back we recorded an accident-of a similar nature,
which betel Mr. Charles, Vernon Oxendon, of the Rifle
Brigade, son of the above gentleman, on the St: Laivrende
cricket ground, when playing
the match between the gent-
tlemen of. Kent and the gentlemen of England.—Dovelr
Telegraph.

The GAME-LAWS.—The amount of crime, misery,
and cost, resulting from superabundant game-preserving and
game-laws, which is shown during the p .esent assize cir-
cuits, calls forth grave refPction. That noblemen and
squires, by their infatuation for superabundance of game
(e hich amounts to a sort of mania or madness), should
bring upon the community all the ills and evils which they
do, is truely disgraceful, and it is impossible that it can be
much longer endured. No reasonable person would begrudge
tern of rational sport and diversion, but the contrary ; yet
their game preserving has grown to such a bight that the
country justly condemns it, and because it beget injuries and
consequences most serious. It is, also, too bad that the
Public should have to pay, in any shape, one farthing for
prosecutions arising out of the igame-laws. The time is
hastening on when some preserves will have, as they ought
to have, the entire cost of those prosecutions to defray them-
selves ; arid they ought to be at the expense of maintaining
the prisoners, and exonerating the ratepayers from charges
of the convicts' wives and families. This being accomplished,
My Lora and Gentlemen" would then act differently to
what they now do.—(From a Correspondeilt..)
AN UNWELCOME VISITOR.—An adventure with a
tiger occurred lately at Balasore, ending in the death of one
.person, and serious injuries to another. Two native women
were proc4ding at an early hour in the morning towards a
patch of jungle in the immediate neighbourhood of a village
in the Eastern district, when a tiger suddenly sprang from
beneath a bush, and seized one of them by the arm. The
screams of -the terrified victim, and those of her equally ter-
rified companion, brought to the spot a number of the inha•
bitants.; atisight of whom the tiger took to his heels, hot'
pursued by the intruders on his morning's repast. The
brute made straight for the village, and rushed into the hut
of a poor woman, who had sufficient presence of mind to
rush to the spot and bar the door against the exit of her un-
welcome visitor. who remained in sole posseSsion of the pre-
mises. There, however, he was not long suffered to remain
undisturbed. The multitude crowded round the entrance,
and one, bolder than the rest, climbed to the window, and
strucked the imprisoned savage several blows with his club,
upon which he leaped over the wall and slunk into the
neighbouring jungle. There his assaliant had again the au-
dacity to pursue him, and paid for his temerity with his life.
While" beating about the bush," to the great alarm of his'
more prudent companions, a low growl warned him of the
approach of danger, and in an instant he was stretched life-
less on the sward. The tiger then disappeared, leaving the
inhabitants, we may suppose, with no very ardent desires for
his return.—lndian Paper,

CIVIL SlDE,—(Before Mr, Baron P- ARKE and 'Com-
mon Jury.)
JENNINGS V CROCKER.

This was an action to recuver dLinges for a breach of
promise of marriage.
Mr. Chambers. Q.C., and Mr. Bwill appeared for the
plaintiff; and Mr. Jmues, Q.C., and Mr. Wordsworth,
were counsel fs r the defendaut.

The plaintiff in qua action, it appeared, wa3 a cook,
and in the years 1848 and 1849 she filled a situatio❑ in
that capacity in the family of a gentleman named Clark,
residing at Peckham. The deleadant, who ,was at that
time not more than 18, was in the service of a butcher

in the neighbourhood, and the parties it appeared be-
came smitten with each other, and by the consent of
the mistress of tho plaintiff the defendant was allowtd
to visit her in the kitchen, and was received by her
and her fellow-servants as a suitor, and on several
occasions he intimated his intention to marry her,
and said he should set up in business for himself ;
and one of the other servants in the establishment was
to be taken into their service when they were married.
During the courtship the defendant sent several valen-
tines and other poetical epistles to the plaintiff, but as
she unfortunately was unable to read, a good deal of
their intended effect was doubtless destroyed. The par..
ties, however, continued a correspondence together until
the month of August in 1851, when the defendant wrote
a letter to the plaintiff, in which he addressed her as
" Madam," and
,went on to say that he was surprised
she should have said that he had left Peckham la, eeuie
he was ashamed to stay there any longer; and that he
had done nothing he was ashamed of, and he intended
to return very shortly. He also said that he had heard
she had been to his uncle's to complain about him, and
advised her to be very careful what she said in future.
The letter went on to state that he did not care what
she or any one else said about him. He was fond of
having " a fUrt," and he would have one as long as be
lived; and the letter concluded by stating, that if she
behaved well, when he went to Peckham he would go
and see her. The letter was signed, " Yours, &c., J. 13,
C.;" and it appeared that two months afterwards the
defendant got married.
Evidence was given to prove these facts, and it ap-
peared that the defendant had stated to one of the wit-
nesses that an uncle bad died and left him 1,0001.; and
after this a cooleeis was observed on his part towards
the plaintiff. It appeared that the latter was five or six
years older than the defendant.
Mr. JANES made a most humorous speech to the jury
on behalf of the defendant. He said he was ,quite sure
this action would never eave been heard of, if it had not
been for the silly boast of the defendant, that his uncle
had left him a thousand pounds, for which there was not
the least foundation; 'and the fact would, no doubt, have
been proved, if it had been capable of proof. The case,
he submitted, was of a most trumpery character. What
were the facts? A butcher's boy, for he really was
nothing else, in the course of his business falls in love
with a lively cook. Which was to blame it was not for
him to say, but cooks were proverbially susceptible
(Laughter.) Whether it was owing to the heat of the
kitchen, or to the peculiar nature of their profession, he
could not say, but certainly they did continually hear of
the affections of c .oks for policemen, and persons of that
stamp, and Life Guardsmen.—(A laugh.) In the pre-
sent instance it appeared to be a butcher's boy. He con-
tended that there had been nothing tart a little familiar
flirtation, and all that the plaintiff had lost was her
butcher's b4.—(ltenewed laughter.) He then referred
to the poetical epistles snt by the defendant, and ob-
served, that inasmuch as the plaintiff could not read,
she could not have been very much affected by them,
and the Learned Counsel caused a roar of laughter iu
court by referring to some or the leVers. In one of them
the defendant, after talking .bout " fJaming seas" and
" loving hearts," and such matters, concluded by stat-
ing, as a postscript, "In haste, as am going to kill."
In another letter he gave an account of his old mare
having " slipped up" as he was riding very fast down a
hill, and he said that if he had not " stuck" to her, he
must have been seriously injured, but as it was, they
bOth got up together, and he found nothing was the
matter with either, so that.he went off again as fast as
;aver. The Darned Counsel concluded by calling upon
the jury, it they gave a verdict at all for the plaintiff,
only to, award moderate damages, as any others must
inevitably cause the utter ruin of the defendant.
Mr. Baron PARKE summed up, and the jury, after a
very brief deliberation, returned a verdict for the plain-
ill—Damages 504

WESTERN CIRCUIT.---Exeter, March 20.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. jUSLiCe TALFOURD.)
William Gildon was indicted for the wilful murder of
John Finch, on the sth March, at'Marychurcb.
Mr. Collier and Mr. Carter were counsel for the prose-
cution, and Mr. Cox for the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner was a wheelwright,
living near Torquay, occupying one of a row of holees.
In the-course of last summer he married a young woman
of the name of Ann Finch, who, before her tnarriaga,
had an ille4itimate child by a persou of the name of
Thomas. It was part of the arrangement that this
child should live with them after their marriage. On
the sth of March a Mrs. Stier, the former mistress of
the wife, came to see her old servant, and shortly bc-
fore she left the prisoner came in, and at that time the
child was well and che,,riul; it was undressed and put
to bed. The prisousr's wile went out with Mrs. Stier,
to see her a ligle way on the road. They lett at s.veu
o'clock. The wife returned at eight o'clock, and during
her absence the child had rir t with an injury , from whims
it died at five o'clock the next morning. Uu the stir-
geon, who had been called, making a more particular
observation, be found on the back part of the head, just
behind the ear, a mark showing that the child must
have received a most violent blow, and he was of opi-
nion that that blow must have caused the death. The
prisoner accounted for this appearance by stating that
the child had fallen out of bed. The surgeon, however,
did not believe that the injury could have been so re-
ceived. Blood was seen upon the kisoner's hand and
trousers. The prisoner had sine() said that, had it nut
been for the long tongue of his wife, the neighbours
would have known nothing abOut it.
Mr. Cox urged that there was no motive shown for
the prfsonertaking the life of the child, and that it was
possible it might have died in convulsions by knocking
itself about in those convulsions.
Mr. Justice TALFOURD summed up the case to the
jury.
Mr. CARTER suggested that his Lordship had not
stated to the jury that if they did not think .the. pri•
sitter guilty of murder, they might convict him-of man.
slaughter.

Mr. Justice TALFOURD said he did not know how he
could suggest such a thing.
The jury, however, appeared to have heard this re-
mark, for they returned a verdict of Manslaughter.
Mr. Justice TALFOURD, in pawing sentence, observed
;hat the jury had come to a decision upon a mere case
of possibility. It Atli, indeed, a mere possibility that
this could biive been inatislauAhter and not murder. In
his opinion all the circurasainces tended to the conclu-
sion that the more serious crime had been committed.
He should pass upon him the most severe sentuice the
law allowed—that he should be transported for life to a
penal settlement.

rOSTER V. PARKES.

This was an issue directed by the Court of Chancery
to ascertain whether the plaintiff was the heir at law of
Isaac Parkes, who formerly lived at Birmingham. The
property was of considerable value, said to be nearly
60,0001., and the present question arose upon the death

The deceased was knocked down and run over by the
cab, which was driven on without stopping, but was fol-
lowed by three men who got hold of and clung to it for
some distance, until compelled to let go from the ra-
pidity with which it was driven. One of them, however,
succeeded in ascertaining the number of the cab to be
111, which was driven by the prisoner. The prisoner
was not identified in any other way, bet he had been
seen with that cab that morning at the stand and to
drive a fare. The prosecution relied on these facts as
sufficient identification of the prisoner.

identification of the prisoner not being sufficiently esta-
