LONDON, FRIDAY, JAN. 22, 1861.

The meeting of Parliament, which is now close
at hand, may naturally be looked forward to
with greater interest than ordinary. It
is true that of late years session after
Session has dawned upon us bright with
good prospects and fair promises, and again and
again, year after year, the fatal hour of prorogation
has arrived without witnessing the fulfilment of
those promises-or the realisation of those anticipa-
tions. Procrastination, the proverbial " thief
of time,' continually robs us of our immediate
requirements, and puts us off with empty
iuranc es about the good time that is coming.
There is an old fable, and those old fables contain,
for the most part, a wonderful deal of truthfulness,
which tells of the warning fate of the boy who
cried " wolf " once too often. Even the most
credulous and patient will give way at last.
" Quousque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia
nostra? Once, again, the country on the assembling
of the Legislature may address this interrogation
to their do-nothing Government. While around
us foreign nations, our friends and allies, are
menaced with war or torn with internal disaffection,
our favoulite policy of letting ill alone only in-
creases the disasters which we are called upon to
bewail. If a Congress is proposed for the consi-
deration and probable amelioration of difficulties,
we will have nothing to do with it. We
will neither "strike" nor " hear." With re-
-47
!, Ird to our foreign relations our Govern-
!rent cannot expect to receive many
clmplireente en the results of their favourite non-
policy. On the other hand, what have

by way of compensation in the admini-

stration of home a were carried
or are likely
to be carried out,

judging from present appearances, in the next ? It
remains to be seen, and a very few weeks will
demonstrate it, whether tune and experi-

THAMES.

ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.—John Donnelly, a mariner, and
Johanna Newman, a woman of the town, were brought be-
fore Mr. Partridge, the former charged with violently
assaulting William Mallard, a plater's labourer, the other
with breaking windows.
The complainant's features were frightfully mutilated,
and his clothes were covered with blood. Ho stated that
he occupied a house in Sun-street, Poplar. The female
had been a lodger there nine months. She was the wife of
a seaman, who was now on a foreign voyage. The male
prisoner had been in the practice of visiting the woman.
About a month ago he gave the woman notice to leave his
house in consequence of her general disreputable con-
duct. A short time afterwards Donnelly met h4m in a
public house and abused him and asked him if he had given
Johanna Newman notice to quit. He said he had done so.
The prisoner said before I go to sea again I will leave a
mark on you that you will never get rid of. Last night he
was seated in his chair by the fireside when both prisoners
rushed into his room. Donnelly struck him a heavy blow
with his fist and knocked him out of his chair. Before he
could rise the prisoner knocked him violently about the
head, face, and body—as many as 7or 8 kicks were inflicted
upon him and two of his teeth were knocked out. He
lost a good deal of blood, and had been in great pain
all night. The prisoner Newman broke five
panes of glass while this was going on, and
he believed instigated Donnelly to commit the outrage upon
him. Ho became insensible from blows and kicks, and was
carried out of his dwelling to the station-house, and
attended by a surgeon.
Police-constable Gray, No. 2G5 K, stated that he found
the prosecutor bleeding in his room, and took the pri-
soners into custody.
Newman, a strapping Irishwoman, said she was a pros-
titute, and that Mallard kept a bad house, and beat her
and robbed her. Her husband was at sea, and as he had
not left his half-pay for her she was obliged to go on the
town.
Mr. Partridge committed Donnelly for trial, and fined the
woman 2s. for breaking five panes of glass, in addition to
2s. 6d. the value of the glass, and in default seven days'
imprisonment.

TEETH.—Mr. ESIC. ELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set or teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-

A VERT INGENUOUS DEFENCE.—THE TRUMPETER.
AT CREMORNE.--James Jabey, an elderly man, was placed
at the bar, charged with stealing a cloak from a shop door.
Mrs. M'Mahon, of 7, Little Chapel-street, Westminster,
said that there was a cloak hanging just inside her door for
sale yesterday. At about half-past four the prisoner lifted
it down from the nail on which it was hung, and took it
next door for sale. She was told that her cloak was stolen
and where she should find it ; and she accordingly followed
into a shop, where she found the prisoner, and, shaking
him, she inquired how he dare steal her cloak ? He said he
knew nothing about it, but that did not satisfy her, as she
found it before him on the counter. She then gave him
into custody.

Prisoner—l did not take it,
Mr. Selfe—The woman says she found you in the chop
with her cloak.
Prisoner—l can perfectly account for that. I saw a boy
steal the poor woman's cloak, and I followed him into this
shop, where he went to sell it, in order to secure it and get
back the cloak.
Mr. Selfe—ls the shopkeeper here?
Mrs. Bull stood forward and said that prisoner came into
her aunt's shop and offered the cloak for sale, but she re-
fused to buy it after some conversation with him, and ho
went two or three doors off with it.
Mr. Selfe—Did he follow any boy into the shop with it?
Witness—No. He brought it in himself. There was
no boy there at all.
Prisoner—Oh, she had been drinking, your worship, and
does not know what occurred.
Witness—Dear me. Oh, your worship, Pm.a teetotaller.
I have been so these five years.
Mr. Selfe —That may be, but you know sometimes-
-Witness—Oh, never, I assure you.
Mr. Selfe—ls prisoner known?
Dennis, the gaoler—He was the trumpeter at the Cre-
morne Tournament.
A policeman said that when he took the prisoner last
night he found he was intoxicated.
Prisoner having elected that the magistrate should dis-
pose of the case, ho was committed for six weeks to the
House of Correction.

COURT OF PROBATE.
(Before the Judge;Ordinary.)
ROBINSON AND HARWICK V. WINN.

In this case the plaintiffs propounded the will of Mary
Winn, which was disputed by her brother, John Winn, on
the ground of incapacity. It appeared that the testatrix,
who lived at Murfield, Yorkshire, became possessed,
by the will of her father, of a leasehold house,
and a joint interest in twelve other houses with the
defendant. She died the 21st of last June, and by the in-
strument in question she left her interest in the 12 houses
to her brother during his lifetime, and to be divided
amongst her seven cousins at his decease. She also
gave the plaintiff Robinson a life interest in the
leasehold house, which at his death was to go to
the aforesaid cousins, and she further gave Robinson and his
wife the whole of her furniture. The plaintiffs were ap •
pointed executors of the will by the testatrix, who died a
few days after.
The case was fully proved, and the learned judge pro-
nounced for the will, and refused the defendant her costs.

Mr. Selfe—The woman says she found you in the shop

Prisoner—l can perfectly account for that. I saw a boy
steal the poor woman's cloak, and I followed him into this
shop, where he went to sell it, in order to secure it and get
back the cloak.

Mr. Selfs—ls the shopkeeper here ?
Mrs. Bull stood forward and said that prisoner came into
her aunt's shop and offered the cloak for sale, but she re-
fused to buy it after some conversation with him, and he
went two or three doors off with it.
Mr. Selfe—Did he follow any boy into the shop with it ?
Witness—No, Ile brought it in himself. There was
no boy there at all.
Prisoner—Oh, ahe had been drinking, your worship, and
does not know what occurred.
Witness—Dear me. Oh, your worship, I'm a teetotaller.
I have been so these five years.
Mr. Self° —That may be, but you know sometimes—
Witness—Oh, never, I assure you.
Mr. Selle—ls prisoner known?
Dennis, the gaoler—He was the trumpeter at the Cre-
morne Tournament.

A policeman said that when he took the prisoner last
night he found he was intoxicated.
Prisoner having elected that the magistrate should dis-
pose of the case, he was committed for six weeks to the
House of Correction.

London, England, 1864-01-22

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.

Sin,--Are wilful deliberate murderers to escape merely
because they happen to be rich ? Under the act of 1840
two surgeons or physicians aro to certify when a prisoner,
removed to a lunatic asylum on the ground of insanity, has
come to his senses again. It is now beyond dispute that
Townley was never mad at all, except according to the
crotchets of certain " psychologists,' whose theories about
the philosophy of the human mind are themselves nothing
less than the dreams of a disordered brain. The Derbyshire
magistrates, in their last communication to Sir George
Grey, place the matter beyond all doubt. The certificate of
insanity which caused Townley to be reprieved, seems to
have been obtained upon a misunderstanding—or, as plain
I spoken people would call it, false pretences. It seems that
the givers of the certificate signed it, or some of them sighed
it, under the impression that it was to be used, not to re-
prieve Townley and frustrate justice, but for the purpose
of bringing about a full and proper investigation into his
state of mind. Matters can never be suffered to remain as
they are. Then, again, as the magistrates shoe, there are
other objections to the validity of the certificate. One is
that the only certificate which was legal in itself, and
apart from the grounds upon which it was ob-
tained, was not given and dated until after the
reprieve was issued and dated; so that there is nothing
to support the reprieve which therefore necessarily falls to
the ground. We are now told by Sir George Grey's advo-
cates that ho msy order a proper investigation into the case,
"if he sees fit." If he doesn't see fit, he surely must be
incapable of seeing anything clearly at all. If he saw
reason to reprieve Townley, when no real valid reason
existed, surely with such a piercing sight he must he able
to see the manifold cogent reasons for instituting a fair,
public, satisfactory investigation. If ho declines, then let
two surgeons or physicians certify under the Act of 1810
that Townley is now in his right mind, as any two surgeons
or physicians are empowered by the Act to do; a thing,
moreover, which any two surgeons or physicians may safely
do. Even Sir George Grey's prkicipal advocates declare
themselves that no impartial al Y:1 sensible person cognisant
of the facts, ever really belie red that Townley was, or is,
mad. Enquiries of the k;.nd ought to be public, with open
doors, with both sides represented, the prosecution and the
convicted murderer face to face, with full power of exami-
nation and cross-examination of witnesses. ,No hole and
corner or ex parte statements within closed doors. I began
with asking if rich murderers aro to escape while poor ones
are hung; I conclude with asking it human life is to be
exposed to destruction because a Home secretary makes a
blunder, for this is contrary to

NOTES of a CRUISE of H.M.S. FAWN in the
WESTERN PACIFIC in the year 1802.

By T. H. HOOD.
" This volume may be read with profit,' not only by all
lovers of natural science, and those especially who make
anthropolo,(.7 their study, but also by our several missionary
socities....We have read Mr. Hood's volume with real plea-
surefo ; it is clearly and simply expressed ; it is full of the best
kind of in nction, that which results from the presentation
of facts V
and it abounds with entertaining pictures of unso-
Phistcated man and pi imitive nature."—Daily News.
Mr. Hood's narrative of the 'Cruise of the Fawn' in the
Rummer of 186? reca Is much of the pleasure with which the
more perilous voyages of Captain Cook in the Resolution,
nearly a century since in the same waters, were followed. It
is fuel of intormation as to the clusters of beautiful islands
that are scattered over the Western Pacific, and contains
graphic sketches of the scenery of each group, and interesting
accounts of the manners and customs of the nati% es ....One
of the many attractions t this delightful volume consists of
numerous chromo-lithograph illustrations from photographs
taken by Captain Cator, including groups of natives is quaint
costumes, chiefs in war dresses, and many beautiful glimpses
of the scenery of the islands." —Morning Post.
" A most interesting description of the Fairy islands
which stud the Pacific Ocean.... The book is full of curious
notes on the ethnology, zo fogy, and ,geology of these re-
markable isl ,nds."—John Bull.
"]n the same direct, simple, and sailor-like way it goes on
to the end, towards which every reader will proceed with
pleasure, but will reach with regret. In the writing there is
an effective absence of any straining after effect, the nume-
rous illustrations aim rather to be useful by verisimilitude
than ornamental by picturesqueness ; and the strangeness of
the scenes and men described render bupe( fiuous all dressing
up by either pen or pencil."—Scotsman.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE

TATTERSALL'S-LAST ETENING.

Although it had been expected that the publication of the
weights for the Chester Cup would have excited the same
amount of interest and spirit of speculation as usual, the
coldness and apathy which prevailed to-day when the great
spring handicap was introduced, even as a subject of con-
versation, were in singular contrast to the tone of the room
on like occasions on former years. The merits of the han-
dicap were freely discussed, and although some considered
it a very fair specimen of Mr. Topham's abilities as a han-
dicapper, there were others again who believed that some
animals were ridiculously well in. Still, the latter did not
seem inclined to back their opinions in a more practical
form, and the consequence was that after giving their
friends the full benefit of their "candid opinions," they left
the room without striking a blow in favour of those they
considered so very leniently dealt with. Layers were equally
chary about taking the initiative, and the pros and eons of
the afternoon resulted only in 20 to 1 being offered on the
field. For the Derby 1000 to 60 was accepted three times

THAMES.

ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.—John Donnelly, a mariner, and
Johanna Newman, a woman of tho town, were brought be-
fore Mr. Partridge, tho former charged with violently
assaulting William Mallard, a plater's labourer, the other
with breaking windows.

The complainant's features were frightfully mutilated,
and his clothes were covered with blood. He stated that
he occupied a house in Sun-street, Poplar. The female
had been a lodger there nine months. She was the wife of
a seamen, who was now on a foreign voyage. The male
prisoner had been in the practice of visiting the woman.
About a month ago he gave the woman notice to leave his
house in consequence of her general disreputable
.con-
duct. A short time afterwards Donnelly met him in a
public house and abused him and asked him if he had given
Johanna Newman notice to quit. He said he had done so.
The prisoner said before I go to sea again I will leave a
mark on you that you will never get rid of. Last night he
was seated in his chair by the fireside when both prisoners
rushed into his room. Donnelly struck him a heavy blow
with his fist and knocked him out of his chair. Before he
could rise the prisoner knocked him violently about the
head, face, and body—as many as 7or 8 kicks were inflicted
upon him and two of his teeth were knocked out. He
lost a good deal of blood, and had been in great pain
all night. The prisoner Newman broke five
panes of glass while this was plug on, and
he believed instigated Donnelly to commit the outrage upon
him. He became insensible from blows and kicks, and was
carried out of his dwelling to the 'station-Muse, and
attended by a surgeon.
Police-constable Gray, No. 265 K, stated that he found
the prosecutor bleeding in his room, and took the pri-
soners into custody.
Newman, a strapping Irishwoman, said she was a pros-
titute, and that Mallard kept a bad house, and beat her
and robbed her. Her husband Was at sea, and as he had
not left his half-pay for her she was obliged to go on the
town.
Mr. Partridge committed Donnelly for trial, and fined the
woman 2s. for breaking five panes of glass, in addition to
2s. 6d. the value of the glass, and in default seven days'
imprisonment.

Shocking Suicide in Bethnal-green,

Yesterday, at noon, Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, deputy
coroner, held an inquest at the George Tavern, Bethnal-
green-road, respecting the death by suicide of 'William
Claridge, aged 30 years.
The deceased was a glassblower, living at No. 8, George's-
gardens, Bethnal-green.
Thomas Hall, 231 K, said that last Friday evening he
was going past the deceased's residence, when a doctor asked
him to assist him in breaking into the room upstairs, as a
man had poisoned himself there. They both got in by the
window and found deceased lying on the floor, apparently
from poison. The wife said that she had bought some
poison to take a name out of a waistcoat, and that deceased
took it up and drank it. She and the children tried to take
it from his hand, but could not. The doctor advised that
deceased should be carried to the hospital, but the wife had
not got a earthing to pay for a cab, and deceased died on
the loor almost immediately,
The widow of the deceased said that her husband had
been out of work. He had only been five days in work
since Christmas, and ho was depressed because, he said, he
could not do all that lie wished for his family. A fortnight
ago witness bought some spirits of salt to take names out of
waistcoats and prepare them for sale. On Friday night
about twelve o'clock, all the family were in the room going
to bed, when he took up the bottle of poison and began
to drink. The little boy cried out, " Oh, mother, father is
taking poison." Witness ran and knocked the bottle out
of his hand. She saw he had taken a good deal, and she at
once ran for a doctor. Witness was about to be confined,
and she believed that deceased was distressed in mind about
her, as she had no means to meet the expense, but there was
no want of food.

Dr. Ralph said that at midnight on Friday last his assis.

taut was fetched to deceased, who found him dying. -Mimes
and Dr. Brotherton made a post-mortem examination of the
deceased, and found that he had been poisoned by a strong
corrosive poison—hydrochloric acid. The mouth and sto-
mach were dreadfully injured by the corrosive action of the
liquid. There was a general ulceration of the passages.
Alter other evidence, the Corcnor summed up, and tho
jury returned a verdict of "Suicide while in a state of un-
sound mind."

TEETH.—Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-
