FEARFUL MU.RDE.I? NEAR B.EDDI2' CH

ItEDDITCH, TEILUISDAY.
A frightful and deliberate murder has :seen com-
mitted at a retired farmhouse, called Outhi,ll Farm,
about five miles from this town, by a farm la.bastrer
namer George Gardiner, his victim being a fellow-
servant named Sarah Kirby, a modest and well--
conducted girl. The following particulars are
gleaned on the spot. The girl had been spending
a few days with her friends, and returned to her
master's on Monday. Gardiner had been out drink •
befor:
ing on Tuesday, and yesterday morning went to
Plough accompanied by a boy. The boy did not
&ease him, and he threatened him once or twice.
t;:sce he told him " there would be m order done
night." Mr. Edge left home abou t half-past
iti gm . morning to go and sell a cow, an d shortly
'aiter he' la:1 left the prisoner went to th,e house,
and asked cas,.. -eased for her master's gun, a double-
barrel, which sv, as kept loaded in the kitchen. She
gave him the gu:a . and proceeded with her work, on
which the prisonet s deliberately took the caps off
the nipples and cleatN,
i them. He then proceeded
to the back kitchen, wi'as.
re the poor girl was, uncon-
scious of evil, proceedng vs, ' th her work, and deliber-
barrels at her. The shoe

RHOTOGBAPBIC SHADOWS.

Of ever)'----
IVce in this town there is a view to be
taken, and 1.,‘ .1 fight and shade to be selecte.'l, which
will show it to advantage or disadvantage. To
subject all to flit
on all alike, and t same glaring light, descending
f) all unbecoming, is scarcely tbe
way to produce ag •reeable results. Yet we have
known a photograph er standing under his own lightf
and most hideously d.lstorted. by that circumstance
alone—without th ad,
dittonal help of his instrument
e
—to argue with us, the w. retealied sitter, that we
were none the worse lor his light- ! It is difficult to
speak strongly enou
g.O about this question of sha-
dows and their value. , Queen Elizabeth, in her igno-
rance, thought shadows unbecoming tote glory of her
Majesty, and wished ta be painted wit' hout any at
all ; and, doubtless, there
are people la, -ho now•a-
days think shade a smudg.v
dirty things, the less
of which comes upon their oc,lintenances thy' better.
But light cannot be thrown out in its full brilliancy,
nor forms shown in their vailty, without its aid.
Why, one of the main differences between a line
day: and a dull one lies in the shodows which pro-
claim the first, and are wanting in the other. Ow
a wet, dull day, as you stand in the grey sickly
light, you may look all round about in vain
1 for your shadow ; it is not to be found.
A cheerless, monotonous glare is over all things.
The sun comes out, and the first thing it does
is to cast your shadow dark and clear and sharp
upon the ground—your shadow and that of the'
trees, the buildings, and all things else that come
within reach of its rays. How different everything
looks then; how solid, how bright, how finished !
Those shadows al
again as the day
larger in the early morning and
,ieelines, and it is one reason of
our admiration of thc,
ne two seasons that then the
rising or sinking sun t.
'etches but one side of every
object, and leaves so large a portion of the scene
lost in a mysterious and so toiled shade.—DickeneB

PORTRAIT PAINTER'S STUDIO.

The pictures which hung round the artistic din-
ing-room—and many of which had no frames—
were ordinarily of elevated subjects :—Titania with
Bottom wearing the ass's head, Ophelia hovering
over the brook, Ugolino gaunt with starvation, Vir-
ginius sacrificing his daughter, and other exhila.
rating companions to the dinner-table. There they
hung, a perpetual monument to the want of taste
of the British public, and there hung some of the
portraits which the artist had been driven to paint,
when he found that high art left his dining-table
with nothing more eatable upon it than an army list
or a number of Blackwood. Among these latter works
would be included " Portrait of the Artist," painted
evidently at the Ugolino period, glaring round at
society out of hollow, sunken eyes. The artist's
father, his mother, and a general officer, who bore
a strong resemblance to the artist himself in a
Nathanic red coat and epaulets. What wonder that
one should go up from such a dining-room expect-
ing to hear in a soothing voice the words," Open a
little wider," with an accompaniment of rattling
instruments in a drawer P And what a place was
the Studio itself when you reached it. That win-
dow was blocked up as to the lower half, so that there
was no chance of seeing anything of the street
unless it was the garret-window and the parapet
of the house opposite, :with an old flower-pot, a
dangling fragment of clothes-line, and a row of
hideous distorted chimneys showing their gnarled
and twisted arms against the dull grey sky. To
spend an afternoon looking at such. a prospect was
not hilarious. Nor was the interior of the room
much better. The half-finished pictures leaning
against wall, the studies from nature, or copies
o
matters—old
enough to have grown up
iato misters by this time—the plaster casts of nude
arms doubling themselves up so as to bring out the
the o old the
muscles in a very unnecessary manner, for nobody
ever said they were not muscular, the antique
heads, with noses on which the blacks and dust
had gathered loweringly ; their hollow parts
and sunkenlines protected by the nobbier por-
tions relieving with a white and brilliant glare the
bits of old tapestry, frouzy costume, and improbable
armour, all these matters made up an interior
which if it was picturesque (which it wasn't) was
infinitely dismal and disheartening. You were
seated on a throne, too, which to persons not of the
regal class was in itself disconcerting. Some ques-
tion of perspective, or of points of view, rendered it
needful that You should be raised ow high, and so
you were perched up on a green-baize throne. You
sat on a cut-velvet old-fashioned chair, whose tim-
bers creaked responsive every time you sighed, and
more old-fashioned chairs were placed about the
room, which might have reminded one of ancient
times, if they had not been so much more sugges •
five of Auction Marts and nosey brokers. What
an afternoon's entertainment l—Dickens's" All the
Year _Bound."

wirirriN.

Mr. Bean applied for a new trial on the ground that de-
fendant had mistaken her ground of defence, and was not
duly represented on the first occasion. She had been ,sued
under a certain deed, whereas be (Mr. Beard) should be
able to show that defendant received no property under the
instrument.

Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, said that the case was
fully tried, and defendant defended herself most ably. It
would be a great hardship upon suitors if parties could
come and obtain new trials simply upon the ground that on
the first occasion they had neglected to provide themselves
with professional assistance.
His Honour saw some force in Mr Buchanan's remarks,
but would grant a new trial upon the usual terms.
In a second case Mr. Whitehurst applied for a new trial
on the ground that the jury had decided against evidence.
Mr. Gibbons, who tried the case, being satisfied,
His Honour did not like to interfere.
Application refused,

the International Exhibition have, at the eleventh hour,
granted apace to the National Lifeboat Institution to exhibit
one of its full-sized lifeboats, mounted on her transporting
carriage and fully equipped, precisely as such a vessel may
be seen on our coast. Our national character was some-
what involved in the exhibition of such a vessel, which in
importance would yield to none other in the building, the
lifeboat being also an invention exclusively English.

anxious that the Chamber shall discuss the bill re•

the Senate, as well as the treaty with France and
other urgent measures, the session will be neces-
sarily prolonged until after the beginning of June.
Accounts had been received at Madrid that the

the Court of Lisbon, had the honour of an audience
of the King of Portugal on the 9th, and delivered
his credentials to his Majesty.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties es -
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully

had gathered loweringly ; their hollow parts
and sunken lines protected by the nobbier por-
tions relieving with a white and brilliant glare the
bits of old tapestry, frenzy costume, and improbable
armour, all these matters made up an interior
which if it was picturesque (which it wasn't.) was
infinitely dismal and disheartening. You were
seated on a throne, too, which to persons not of the
regal class was 'n itself disconcerting. Some ques-
tion of perspective, or of points of view, rendered it
needful that you should be raised obi high, and so
you were perched up on a green-baize throne. You
sat on a cut-velvet old-fashioned chair, whose tim-
bers creaked responsive every time you sighed, and
more old-fashioned chairs were placed about the
room, which might have reminded one of ancient
times, if they had not been so much more suf.7,,,mes

an afternoon's entertainment !—Dickens's " All the
Year Round."

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITIPS

The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The performance of the "Trophete" at Covent-garden
last night was one of the most splendid we have ever seen
at this theatre. In the case of a piece which has had a long
run and has become familiar to the public, managers are
apt to relax in the care and attention, and to become saving
in the cost, bestowed upon its first production. Such is not
the case in the instance of the " Prophete." The scenery
is as fresh, the decorations a, rich and magnificent, and all
the details of spectacle and stage effect are as complete as
if the opera were performed for the first time. The repre-
sentation is also admirable. Tamberlik is not quite equal to
Mario, whose impersonation of John of Leyden was proba-
bly the grandest of all his efforts; but Tamberlik approaches
him mire nearly than any cther performer now on the stage
is able to do. As to the beautiful and difficult part of Fides,
we say unhesitatingly that it never had such a repre
nentati-ve as Csillag. Even its original representative, tho
gifted Viardot, failed to throw into the character the quiet
and simple pathos which is so remarkable in the acting of
Csillag. With all her genius, Viardot always had a ten-
dency to exaggeration, from which the Hungarian prima
donna is entirely free, and Csillag sings the music much
more beautifully than any other Fides we have ever heard,
with the single exception of Alboni, whose vocal execution
always was perfection. The character of Bertha was on
the whole well sustained by Madame Rudersdorff. The
music of the part is brilliant, and she sang it brilliantly ;
and with a little more quietness and smoothness of manner
her performance would be entirely satisfactory. The cther
characters were cast nearly in the same manner as in for-
mer seasons.

L U CIFER-MATCII MAKERS.

Prodigious, almost incredible, is the extent to
which these little affairs are now manufactured.
Even as a question in the timber trade, the lucifer
question is anything but a trifle. Let us take a
case, for, the accuracy of which our own eyes can
vouch. There is an establishment in London where
an enormous pile of the best yellow pine is always
in store, expressly for the making of lucifer matches.
It is literally true that this is the best pine—no
refuse or inferior wood being admitted. And there
is good reason for the selection. So intricate is the
machinery, and so delicately sharp the implements,
that knotted or irregular timber would inflict an
amount of injury more than an equivalent to the
_
difference ip, the quality of the wood. The sele t c
bed
deals, tikeb inches in thickness, are, rapidly cut y
circulars a,,J,0 toiso blocks about four inches long.
These biottlis ar !placed in a machine of most inge-
nious cont.strallion Fifty or sixty very sharp
knives or: aaem sore ranged with their points in a
row, and at distances apart equal to the ordinary
thickness of-- iucifcr match. These knives, by a
slight moveatitx;t of a frame in which they are
fixed, makes 0 or 60 cuts in the surface of a block ;
while a long, keen blade, descending in another
direction, severs a complete slice from the block.
The movements of the frame are so timed that the 1
in .a row on a flat iron bed, with
two series of zuttifigs succeed each other. Five
blocks are ranged
aga.inst the machine, are cut into
and these blocks,
the grain of the scow* horizontal;
when pressed up
slices, and the slices immediately afterwards cut up
into splints. The celerity is astonishing. The
knives make
120 reciprocating movements per
are severed at each movement;
aso
long enough for two matches, there

are 60,000 matches

quent operations. It affords a curious
illustratiou 'of the extent of this manufacture, that
~ 60 or 40 full-sized deals are cut up every day, and
that a tan of moisture is drawn out of the wood
during tin drying.

FOUR CHILDREN FOUND MURDER RD.

OnTE .ursday Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy
coroner for the eastern division of Middlesex, held
an inquost at the George and Dragon Tavern,
High-street, touching the death of a newly-bore
male child, supposed to have been murdered. A
police -cons table deposed that on Wednesday morning
last, about 5 o'clock, while on duty in West's-gar"
dens, High-street, Shadwell, he saw a parcel lying
in a remote spot at the rear of Mr. Nathan's, the
butcher's. He unfastened the covering, when ,
found the body of a well-developed child, quite fresh,
as if it hac I been recently born. There were 13°
marks on t he covering, and he believed that the
child had only been born a few hours. Dr. Boss,
the division, if medical officer, said that the face
the deceased was flattened, and also the nose her
been pressed. Blood had issued from the lett,„e,
organ, and one eye was quite blackened. The u—i
bilical cord was cuti but not secured. Wilt°
