ITS MOTHER.

Mr. Hunter, a neighbour of mine, who killed his wife
some months ago, has had a fair trial, and has been found
guilty of murder in the second degree. This sends him to
hard labour for life. He is a man of some property. The
jury could not agree for three days. The judge declared he
would not discharge the jurymen until they did agree.
Then they compromised on a verdict. He was convicted
upon the evidence of his only son, a boy 12 years old. The
little fellow stuck to the truth, and he never wavered in his
account of " killing mother."

THE "WORLD'S" OPINION OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN !
The World to-day speaks of Mr Lincoln without gloves.
It was suppressed by his order. This extract is better than
any correspondent can or dare write. It is clear and con-
cise :—" Mr Lincoln is intrinsically a weak candidate. As
a man his instincts are vulgar, his education narrow, his
manners a cross between boor and buffoon. As a states-
man, he is incapable, vacillating, a time-server, without
either wise comprehension of the present or sagacious fore-
cast of the future. As an administrator, he selects the un-
fittest instruments for the most important functions, and
after the clearest demonstrations of their incapacity, he
has not decision of character to replace them by men of
energy and ability. His Szcretary of State is shallow and
pretentious; his Secretary of War, wrong-headed and im-
petuous ; his Secretary of Nary, a noodle ; his Attorney
General, a granny ; and his Secretary of the Treasury has
so little of the just pride of a statesman, that he has held
on to a place in an administration whose imbecility he
despises, and many of whose prominent acts he openly
condemns."

SUICIDE OF A Pli,lSONEll.—Yeaterday morning
the officials of ,he House of Detention discovered that a
prisoner named Emil Herlick, a German, had committed
suicide in his cell during the night. He was committed on
Friday last by Mr Selfe on the charge of stealing a carpet
bag and its contents, value £3, and on the warder opening
his cell yesterday morning, about half-past seven o'clock,
the prisoner was found hanging from the ventilator by
means of the straps of his hammock. Ho was at once cut
down, and the body being still warm means were taken,
but without suceess, to restore animation. There was
nothing in the man's manner to lead to the supposition that
he meditated self-destruction. A coroner's inquest will of
course be held upon the bcdy.
London, England, 1864-06-21

NEW WRIT.

On the motion of Mr BRAND, a writ was ordered to
issue for the election of a knight of the shire to serve in
Parliament for the northern division of the county of
Durham, in the room of the late Lord Adolphus Vane Tem-
pest.

THE COMPANY OF AFRICAN TRADERS
(LIMITED).
Lord ELCHO asked the Secretary to the Treasury
whether it be the intention of the Government to grant a
übsidy of £5,000 per annum, or any other sum to the
' Company of African Traders (Limited) ;" if so, upon
what conditions the subsidy will be granted, and whether
it will previously be submitted to Parliamentary approval.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
papers had reached the Treasury from which it would ap-
pear that the company would compete with all those who
were engaged in trade with Africa. He was of opinion that
a subsidy ought not to bo granted without due consideration.
He should not, therefore, make any proposal for a subsidy
during the present session.

SUPPLY.
In answer to Mr S. ESTCOURT,
Sir G. GREY said supply would not be taken before
Friday.

THAMES.

Tim ITICREFOUZIED REFORMATOIty.--Ellon Honnsell,
girl, was brought before Mr Partridge
chargedagedBl a
with stealing
£9 worth of postage-stamps, the pro-
perty of Mr Fredeiick George Kelly, a bookseller and sta-
Mr, Stoddart, solicitor, prosecuted; Mr Marsh, solicitor,
timer, of No. 1, Brunswick-Place, Blackwall-cross, Poplar.
defended the prisoner.

It appeared from the evidence of Mr Kelly that the pri-
sor er had been in his service four months as general servant.
In the course of that time he had lost among other things
£9 or £lO worth of postage• stamps. About two months
ago he missed a sheet of postag.:-stamps, value £l, from a
drawer in his bed-room. That drawer was always kept
locked. When he missed the stamps he discovered the lock
had been tampered with. On Friday last he missed another
sheet of stamps, on the following day he spoke to the pH-
loner about the loss of the stamps, and she said she had
taken one sheet. He afterwards consulted the police, and
gave the prisoner into custody. _ _

Mr Partridge--How many stamps have you lost ?
Mr Kelly—£lo worth in all. lam sure of £9 worth,
but I believe £lO is the real extent of my loss.

Mr Marsh said the girl owned to one sheet of stamps,
and that was all, and he would advise her to plead guilty
to enable the magistrate to summarily dispose of the case.
Mr Stoddart said it was right he should inform the ma-
gistrate that the prisoner had been convicted before, and
had been in a reformatory three years. She had been out
of the reformatory nine months, and had been in two
situations since, keeping the first only three months. A
letter from the prisoner's sister, dwelling at No. 16, Brand-
street, Blandford-square, was found in the prisoner's boa.
It acknowledged the receipt of a parcel of postage stamps,
which had been sold, and advised the prisoner to burn the
letter, which she had not done.
Mr Marsh submitted the letter was not evidence of any.

thing.
Mr Partridge--I only receive this for my guidance, not
as evidence. If the prisoner has been in custody before
and convicted, I shall not dispose of the case summarily.
Mr Stoddart—lt is a question whether the sister ought
not to be charged as a receiver.
The following letter was put in by 111 r Stoddart. It was
from the matron of the Exeter Reformatory, and directed
to the prisoner's first mistress : •

THE YELVERTON CASE.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS
YELVERTON V. LONGWORTH (OR YELVERTOK).
This morning the consideration of this case was renewed,
there being present the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham,
Lord Kingsdown, Lord Chelmsford, and Lord Wenslydale.
There was a great crowd of persons in attendance prior to
the doors being opened.
The Attorney-General, in continuing his address, said
that when their lordships last adjourned he had arrived at
the last letter but one in the series between Major
Yelverton and Miss Longworth. Ha made some obser-
vations on those, which ho did not propose to repeat.
There was one letter bearing the Edinburgh post-mark,
Jime 4th, and Boulogne, June 6th, which wereinot forth-
coming, and of which ho believed it had been truly alleged
that it induced the lady to suspect some treachery towards
herself and which led her to visit Edinburgh. The learned
gentleman then proceeded to reed lengthened extracts from
the examination and cross-examination of Major Yelverton
at the trial, particularly in reference to the letters_said to
have been destroyed or kept back, "With regard to Major
Yelverton he might remark, that he did not give the
lady the same opportunity of proving the loss or mutilation
of the letters which she had given him, and in consequence
of that she offered herself for examination, which was ob-
jected to on technical grounds, and no doubt necessarily
taken with success. All the argument he wished to pro-
ceed upon was that the respondent desired to give the
fullest information she possessed as to the loss of the docu-
ments, but the laws of Scotland prohibited her from entering
into any such arrangements. Some stress had been laid
upon the fact that in her letters to father Mooney the lady
did not use any expressions of alarm or distrust in refer-
ence to her husband, but then it must be remembered that
at that time there had been no open rupture between them,
and she was not disposed to place his conduct in an un-
favourable light. The learned counsel then proceeded to
examine the correspondence and the circumstances relating
to the Irish marriage.

sor er had been in his service four months as general servant.
In the course of that time he had lost among other things
or £lO worth of Poßtage• stamps. About two months
ago he missed a sheet of postag..-stamps, value £l, from a
drawer in his bed-room. That drawer was always kept
locked. When he missed the stamps he discovered the lock
had been tampered with. On Friday last he missed another
sheet of stamps, on the following day he spoke to the pri-
soner about the loss of the stamps, and she said she had
taken one sheet. He afterwards consulted the police, and
gave the prisoner into custody.
Mr Partridge—How many stamps have you lost ?
Mr Kelly—Llo worth in all. lam sure of £9 worth,
but I believe £lO is the real extent of my loss.
Mr Marsh said the girl owned to one sheet of stamps,
and that was all, and he woatd advise her to plead guilty
to enable the magistrate to summarily dispose of the case.
Mr Stoddart said it was right he should inform the ma-
gistrate that the prisoner had been conviche

Mr Stoddart—lt is a question whether the sister ought
not to be charged as a receiver.
The following letter was put in by Mr Stoddart. It was
from the matron of the Exeter Reformatory, and directed
to the prisoner's first mistress :

ITS MOTHER.

Mr. Hunter, a neighbour of mine, who killed his wife
some months ago, has had a fair trial, and has been found
guilty of murder in the second degree. This sends him to
hard labour for life. He is a man of some property. The
jury could not agree for three days. The judge declared he
would not discharge the jurymen until they did agree.
Then they compromised on a verdict. lie was convicted
upon the evidence of his only son, a boy 12 years old. The
little fellow stuck to the truth, and he never wavercel in his
account of "killing mother."

THE " WORLD'S" OPINION OP ABRAHAM LINCOLN I

The World to-day speaks of Mr Lincoln without gloves.
It was suppressed by his order. This extract is better than
any correspondent can or dare write. It is clear and con-
cise :—" Mr Lincoln is intrinsically a weak candidate. As
a man his instincts are vulgar, his education narrow, his
manners a cross between boor and buffoon. As a states-
man, he is incapable, vacillating, a time-server, without
either wise comprehension of the present or sagacious fore-
cast of the future. As an administrator, he selects the un-
fittest instruments for the most important functions, and
after the clearest demonstrations of their incapacity, he
has not decision of character to replace them by mon of
energy and ability. His Secretary of State is shallow and
pretentious; his Secretary of War, wrong-headed and im-
petuous ; his Secretary of Na!y, a noodle ; his Attorney
General, a granny ; and his Secretary of the Treasury has
so little of the just pride of a statesman, that he has held
on to a place in an administration whose imbecility he
despises, and many of whose prominent acts he openly
condemns."

SUICIDE OF A PRISONER.—Yesterday morning
the officials of the House of Detention discovered that a
prisoner named Emil Herlick, a German, had committed
suicide in his cell during the night. He was committed on
Friday last by Mr Selfe on the charge of stealing a carpet
bag and its contents, value £3, and on the warder opening
his cell yesterday morning, about half-past seven o'clock,
the prisoner was found hanging from the ventilator by
means of the straps of his hammock. He was at once cut
down, and the body being still warm means were taken,
but without success, to restore animation. There was
nothing in the man's manner to lead to the supposition that
he meditated self-destruction. A oorener's inquest will of
course be held upon the bcdy.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,

-
RAI LWAY BILLS.

Yesterday the committee on the East London Railway
Bill vitited the London Docks, and took a survey of the site
and route of the intended railway, so as to form, in con-
junction with the evidence adduced, an opinion on the
question. Mr Bendel, the engineer of the London Dock
Company, was examined at great length by Mr Phinn,
Q.C., and Mr. Karslake, on the engineering objections to
the line, and as to the advantages of another proposed line
to be substituted. Mr Hawkshaw, the engineer, was sub-
sequently examined, and expressed an opinion adverse to
the safety of the Thames Tunnel for railway purposes.
Apart from its danger as an experiment, he was of opinion
that the price the company would have to pay for the ap-
propriation of the tunnel would be sufficient to construct a
new one.

Mr Rodwell, Q.C., stated the case of the Cannock Chase
and Wolverhampton Railway of ten miles between those
places, to make arrangements with the Great Western,
raise £lOO,OOO, and £34,000 by loan. Mr Merewether and
Mr H. Lloyd opposed for the London and North• Western.
The committee of which Mr Hassard is chairman con-
sidered the Bill for the Tewkesbury and Malvern Railway,
to take additicrtal lands and raise a further sum of £lO6 000.
Mr Round having been heard for landowners in opposition,
the committee threw out the Bill.

Further evidence as to the traffic case connected with the
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company's pro-
posed establishment of steamboat communication with the
continent occupied Sir F. Goldsmid's committee all day.
The clauses of the Glocester and Ledbury, and Worcester,
Dean Forest, and Monmouth Railway Bills were settled.
In the Lords, the Bill of the London and South-Western
for additional works was passed.

HOUSE OF LORDS—This Evening,

The LORD CHANCELLOR tgJk his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.
AMERICA.

Lord ST. LEONARDS presented a petition from
Rackerford, praying that the house would adopt measures
to induce her Majesty's Ministers to take steps for the
restoration of peace in America.
The Earl of DERBY said he had heard that a gentleman
named Levey, a Montreal merchant, had arrived at Bos-
ton by a British passenger ship, and before he left the
vessel, it was boarded, and be was seized by a
United States' officer and imprisoned. There was no
cause assigned for his arrest, and after a period of ten
days he was liberated, on the 6th of June, without any
cause assigned either for his imprisonment or liberation.
He wished to know if any information on the subject had
reached the noble earl the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs; and, if so, whether reparation had been demanded
by him, or voluntarily offered by the United States ?
Earl RUSSELL said he did not find in any of Lord
Lyons' despatches any reference to the case. Perhaps the
next despatch might contain something; if it did not he
would write to Lord Lyons on the subj act.
