THE MURDER IN MARYLEBONE.

John Devine, a simple-looking young man, about 21,
was indicted for the wilful murder of Joseph Duck, on the
morning of March 11th last, in Chesterfield-street, Mary-
lebone. The prisoner pleeded not guilty.
The circumstances of this case, as detailed by the learned
counsel in opening, and the evidence of the several wit-
nesses, have recently been fully reported in The Sun. It
appeared that on the night of March 10, or rather morning
of the 11th, the deceased, who was a retired builders' seal-
folder, was in the King's Head public-house drinking, and
shorlly after one he was found lying in the road about 100
yards from the public-house, and about four doors from the
house in which he lodged, apparently drunk. A police-
constable picked him up, and finding him insensible
and bleeding from a wound on the head, took
him to the infirmary of Marylebone workhouse, where he
was examined by the house surgeon, when it was four d
that the skull was fractured. The deceased never rallied,
and gradually sunk, dying the same night at 10 o'clock.
On a post mortem examination it was found that death had
ensued from a fracture of the skull, and in the opinion of
the medical men, the wound must have been inflicted with
some blunt insttument, and not the result of a fall. Various
circumstances appeared to connect the prisoner with the
deceased, especially the possession of some of the deceased's
money and a watch. He accounted for his possession of the
money by stating that he had received it for some work be
had done for a laundress in Greystoke-grove, which was
false.

At the conclusion of the evidence of the numerous wit-
nesses for the prosecution,

Mr. Sleigh addressed the jury for the prisoner.

sufficient to guarantee a concert of first-rate excellence.

HER MAJESTY.

WINDSOR CASTLE, April 12.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess cf Cam-
bridge and the Princess Mary of Cambridge,
attended by Lady Geraldine Somerset and Captain
Ellis, arrived at the Castle yesterday afternoon on
a visit to her Majesty.
The Queen, accompanied by Princess Helena,
walked and drove in the gronads this morning.

The Shakspere Tercentenary Celebration at

Stratford-on-Avon,

One very attractive feature of the approaching
Festival will be an exhibition in the Town-hall of
the various portraits of Shakspere extant, and of
the most eminent representatives of his characters.
This exhibition will be enriched by valuable ac-
quisitions in the shape of many of the finest works
cf art that now adorn the private galleries of
our nobility and gentry. The Queen, who occu-
pies the foremost place in the roll of distin-
guished contributors, has been graciously pleased
to recognise the " very remarkable occasion" which
the Stratford Committee has undertaken to cele-
brate, by granting the loan from the Royal Gallery
of Sir Thomas Lawrence's picture of " John Kemble
in the character of Hamlet." Her Majesty's sym-
pathy with the objects of the Tercentenary has
been notified to the Mayor of Stratford in the fol-
lowing letter :

" Windsor Castle, April 11, 1864.

" Sir,—l have had the honour to lay before her
Majesty the Queen the purport of your letter of the
7th instant. The Queen has been obliged for some
time past to decline to accede to the nu-
merous applications made to her Majesty for the loan
of pictures from the Royal Galleries for the purpose
of public exhibitions. It is extremely difficult
to make any distinction between the different appli-
cants without giving great offdnce, and pictures
suffer very considerably from exhibition, in conse-
quence of the dirt which no care can prevent accu-
mulatiog upon their surface. The Queen has ho wever
been graciously pleased to consider this very re-
markable occasion as one in favour of which an ex-
ception may be made, and lam commanded to inform
you that the portrait of John Kemble in the charac-
ter of Hamlet, painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence,
will be delivered to Mr. Hogarth, upon his appli-
cation for it on your behalf.—l have the honour to
be, sir, your most obedient humble servant,
(Signed) "C. B. Pturrs.
"E. F. Flower, Esq., Mayor of
Stratford-upon• Avon."

The Lords of the Committee of Privy Council on
Education nave also granted for this "special oc-
casion" the loan of the picture in the Sheepshanks
Gar.ery, representing'" Caarles Young in the cha-
racter of Hamlet." A letter to that effect has been
received by the Mayor from the Science and Art
Department, South Kensington.

Departure of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean,

(From the Sydney Empire of Feb. 4.)

Yesterday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean
took their departure froth Sydney for Melbourne,
by the Rangatira, steamer. They were accom-
panied to the wharf by William Lyster, Esq., the
lessee of the Prince of Wales Opera-house. We
regret to say that Mr. Kean does not appear to
have recovered from his severe indisposition. In-
deed the crisis he had gone through, which created
so much alarm amongst his numerous triends, was
but too plainly visible in the evidently weakened
condition of his frame. It is sincerely to be hoped,
however, that the short sea trip, and the temporary
retirement from his profession at Mount Macedon,
in Victoria, whither Mr. Kean is now proceeding to
recruit hie health, will have the much desired effect
of re-establishing his constitution. A considerable
number of ladies and gentlemen met Mr. and Mrs.
Kean on board the steamer and took their fare-
well of them. The excitement of parting with so
many persons was, however, rather too much for
Mr. Kean to bear, to whom quietness was at this
time so desirable. Miss Chapman, Mr. Cathcart,
and Mr. Everett accompany them to Melbourne.
fhe luggage of Mr. and Mrs. Kean having been
brought down late to the steamer, some of which
arrived just as the vessel was departing, created
considerable amazement to the strangers who were
collected nn the wharf. No less than between 40
and 50 chests, forming the recipients of extensive
wardrobes. Should Mr. Kean be well enough to
perform, he is expected to reappear in Melbourne
on the 20th inst., for which George Coppin, Esq.,
who left Sydney about a week ago, has made the ne-
eessery arrangements. We have been informed
that tic Lets are now being purchased at a premium
in Melbouroe, for the Kean'a reappearance.

The Duke of Newcastle was reported to be much.
better yesterday.
The Countess of Sefton, Miss Lindsay, and the
Hon. H. G. Molyneaux, have arrived at the Queen's Hotel,
Upper Norwood.
The Earl and Countess of Darnley are expected
to arrive in town on Thursday, from Cobham, Hall, Kent.
The Earl of Listowul has left Thomas's Hotel,
Berkeley-square, for the Continent.
l'he Marquis de Cadore, First Secretary to the
French Embassy, who has been in Paris on leave of absence,
has returned to his post.
Lord and Lady Forester have arrived in town
from Knipton, near Grantham.
Mr. and Mrs. Ci.ad.tooe wi;l have a dinner and
evening party on Wednesday, the 20th Met , for General.
Garibaldi.

On Tuesday, the sth instant, a marriage was
solemnised at the Roman Catholic Chapel in St.
John's Wood, by his Eminence Catdinal Wiseman, be-
tween Edward Charlton, M.D , of Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
of the ancient Catholic family of Charlton, of Risley-Bider
and the eldest daughter of Mr. Sergeant Bellasis. The
ceremony was one of considerable magnificence. It com-
menced by an address to the proposed b.ide and bridegroom
by the Cardinal from the altar apparelled in his vestments-.
as Archbishop, wearing a mitre studded with precious
stones, and holding. his pastoral staff in his lett liana, and
attended on either side by a Canon of his Cathedrat in vio-
let dresses. After the address, which was received by the
bride and bridegroom seated in the midst of the bridesmaids
and the friends of the bridegroom, the couple advanced
within the altar-rails, to the step of the altar, when the:
marriage ceremony was performed by the Cardinal him-.
self. This was followed by Mass, which was said by tho
Very Rev. Canon O'Neil, accompanied with music of gxest
beauty, and in the presence of the Cardinal, witta.,
for this purpose, put off his Archiepiscopal vestments',
and appeared in his dress as a Cardinal, wearing a scarlet.
rube ot silk, and a baretta. or square cap of the same colour,.
and kneeling at a footstool on the lett hand side of the
sanctuary. After the conclusion of the mass, the party
proceeded to the house of Sergeant Bellasis to the wedding
breakfast, after which the newly married couple set off for
a tour in Italy. There was a very large gathering of the
friends of the bride and bridegroom, including Lord Petre,
the Marchioness of Londonderry, the Marchioness of
Stackpool, Mr. Eyre, and Lady Milford, Mr. Talbot, the.
Count and Countess Forro Diaz, Mr. Charlton of Risley
side, and the members of their respective families, and a
large number ot the Catholic patty, the church being
crowded throughout.

A TELEGRAM FOR GARIBALDI.—At Stafford
