at home she would not have come, and expressed her in-

self into a violent passion, and going into- the kitchen,
where his wife was, struck her a severe blow across the
head with his hunting-whip, at the same time ordering
her with an oath to get out of the house or he would kick
her out. He then pulled her out of the chair, and threw
her violently on to the brick kitchen. Not content with
this, he attacked his unfortunate wife with the tongs, and
beat her severely about the head and body till she was
almost insensible, in which state her daughter ma-
naged to get her to bed. The servant, who was so
frightened by the prisoner's violence that she ran out of
the house and bid, returned about two o'clock, when she
was admitted by her unfortunate mistress, who pointed out

several times before her death, " That
villain has broken my heart—he has been the cause of my

jury, Mr. Robinson, the medical gentleman who attended
the deceased, made the important statement that in his opi-
nion the fall on the brick kitchen had accelerated the de-
ceased's death. Prisoner was again remanded till Thurs-
day next, bail being refused, and it is probable that he will
then be committed for manslaughter. As he was being
taken away in custody, he handed over his watch and all
the money in his possession to one of the loose.women who
had accompanied h,ra home, and they were seized by her
with avidity. We are also informed that, by Murton's
authority, they remain the only occupants of his house at
the present time.—Maidstone 'Tout nal.

THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.--In anticipation
of the opening of the Metropolitan Railway, a number of
large three-horse omnibuses have commenced running be-
tween the Farringdon-street station of that line and the
Elephant and Castle station of the London, Chatham, and
Dover Railway, at fares of 2d., thus affording a direct com-
munication, via Blackfriars .bridge, betweeN, the railway

BOSTON AND FREISTON SHORE.

A company has been formed to carry out this new line,
which is to commence by a junction with the Boston
Sleaford, and Midland Counties Railway, to cross the
Witham, and run direct to Frieston Low. At that point a
pier is to be constructed, so as to form a breakwater and
admit vessels alongside to discharge their cargoes. There
is a depth of water at this point of 291 t. at low tide. It is
stated that the Boston, Sleaford, and Midlond Counties
Company have agreed to subscribe £30,000 towards the
undertaking.

KETTERING AND HUNTINGDON.
Surveys have been made with a view to the extension of
the Kettering and Thrapstone Railway to Huntingdon.

the Queen will give a grand dinner on herfete day,
the 19th inst., and a ball on the 28th, the anniver-

Diario, M. Mon has given Marshal O'Donnell the
assurance that he entirely approved of the general
conduct of the Government, but that he had always
been opposed to the re-embarkment of the Spanish
troops in Mexico. The Marshal said that the Go-
vernment of the Queen of Spain had offered to that
of France, in case of the Treaty of London being
again put in practice, that the Spanish troops should
recommence the campaign, in concert with England.
The French Cabinet, says the Diario, observed
that, the honour of its flag being engaged in
the expedition against the capital of Mexico, it
could not accede to the proposal of Spain. M. Mon,

SURREY SESSIONS, Nov. 18.

(Before Mr. J. E. Johnson.)
Wm. Vowler, 35, was placed at the bar for felo-
niously stealing 17 yards of cocoanut fibre matting,
the property of the Crystal Palace Company.
Mr. Thompson prosecuted, Mr. Lilley defended.
The evidence showed that similar matting to that
in question had been stored in the above deposit of
the company, near which the prisoner, who is a car-
rier, had been seen with his cart on the 6th Nov.
A policeman saw a roll of matting on the top of the
prisoner's cart as he went away, at 6 o'clock IA the
evening, and on asking where he got it, he replied
that he picked it up at the Gipsy-:till station. lt,
however, appeared that oak and other leaves are
frequently blown into the deposit room, and in the
open roll part of the matting such leaves were found.
Mr. Lilley urged with great force that the case
was one not sufficiently brought home to the pri-
soner, who said that he had told the policeman the
truth, and had offered to give it up to whoever it
belonged to.
In this view the jury evidently concurred, as they
at once acquitted the prisoner.
ALLEGED ROBBERY BY A CHARWOMAN—SINGULAR CASE.
Esther Newman, 23, married, was indicted for
feloniously stealing a sovereign, the property of W.
T. Langley, a salesman at the Borough Market.
Mr. H. Sharpe prosecuted, and Mr. Thompson
defended.
It appeared that the prisoner had been in the
occasional service of the prosecutor as charwoman,
and money having been missed from time to time
suspicion rested upon her. A few sovereigns were
marked, one of which having been missed, a police-
constable was sent for, and the prisoner taken into
custody. A man named Alfred Page, who saw the
prisoner go to the water-closet, searched that place
with Policeman 291 M, and the marked sovereign
was found on a beam over the door. The money
was identified as that marked by the prosecutor and
put into the box from which it was missed.
Mr. Thompson contended that there was no evi-
dence against the prisoner beyond mere suspicion
upon the most flimsy grounds, and called several
witnesses, who gave her an excellent character.
The jury were locked up several hours en Mon-
day night, and ultimately were discharged, without
giving any verdict.
She wilt be tried again, but most probably not
until the next sessions.
London, England, 1862-11-19

on the National Debt is 115,000,000f1., and the War
Department, for the army and navy together, pur-
poses to spend 122,000,0001-92,000,000f1. for ordi-
nary, and 30,000,000f1. for extraordinary expenses—
so that no more than 117,000,000f1. will be left for
defraying the expenses of the civil administration.
The Reichsrath proposes to levy a tax on all rail-
road tickets which cost more than two florins, but
it is probable that such an impost will hardly
bring in more than seven or eight hundred
thousand florins per annum. The tax at present
levied on the coupons of state and private stock is
5 per cent., but it is likely that it will be raised to
7 per cent. before the session of the Reichsrath is
at an end. The Directors of the Bank are about to
request the Upper House to mediate between them-
selves and the representatives of the people, as they,
consider themselves hardly treated by the latter.
It is possible that such is really the case, but in my
opinion an appeal to the " Lords " will do harm
rather than good, as the members of the Lower
House strongly object to the interference of the
nominees of the Crown in matters of finance.
London, England, 1862-11-19

says :

" The maintenance of the common Constitution
in Schleswig is a vital question for Denmark. The
Danish Government will, therefore, firmly adhere
to the line of conduct prescribed by this conviction.
The acceptance of the propositions made by Earl
Russell would lead to the destruction of Constitu-
tional life in Denmark, and would soon even im-
peril the existence of the Monarchy itself."

TURIN, Nov. 18, EVENING.

KETTERING AND HUNTINGDON.
Surveys have been made with a view to the extension bf
the Kettering and Th_rapstene Railway to Huntingdon.

'EASTERN BENGAL;

The directors state in their report that a train run through
all the way from Calcutta to Kooshtee on the 20th of August
last, and that a train with materials has been run through
every week since. On the 12th of September the Lieute-
nant-Governor f Bengal returned to Calcutta from a tour
in the provinces by a special train from K oosh tee. He
alighted to inspect the iron bridge of about 1,000 feet in
length over the river Koomar (the heaviest work on the
railway), and the train stopped at the principal stations along
the line. Notwithstanding these delays, the journey was
accomplished in five hours and a half. It was subsequently
determined by the agent and chief engineer, with the sanc-
tion of the Government, to open the portion of the line be-
tween Calcutta and Ranaghat, a distance of 45 miles, for
passenger traffic. The first pas senger train commenced
running on the 29th of September last, and 1,553 passengers
were booked out of Calcutta on that day. During the week
immediately following the receipts for passengers amounted
to 4,000 rupees. The latest advices state that arrangements
were being made for opening the line throughout from Cal
cutta to Kooshlee for general traffic on the lst of November
inst. The agent stated that he had every reason to believe
that soon after the opening steam communication by the
rivers would be established between Kooshtee, the terminal
station on the Ganges, and Serajgunge, the great mart or
emporium of trade of Eastern Bengal, and that he expected
a large traffic by that means. The directors have every
reason to feel satisfied that the line was actually opened
throughout at the 'time above mentioned. The capital
account shows that £1,399,700 had been received, and
£1,206,696 expended, leaving a balance of £193,003.

TIIE ,LATE 7BIALS AT SIIOEBUBEVESS.

Mr. Whitworth, in a letter to the Times, says—
Will you allow me to state, with reference to the
late trials of my shells at Shoeburyness, that their
effect upon the timber of the target which repre-
sented the ship's side will not be really ascertained
until the iron plates are removed ? The target is
formed of a solid frame of teak 18in. thick, plated
with iron on both sides, the plates being 42 and 5
inches on the outer and fi inch thick on the inner
face of the target. There is no doubt that the
18 inch timber between these two faces is very
much shattered internally by my shells, though the
iron plates themselves are perforated with compa-
ratively unsplintered holes, In these, the first
trials of the shells with large guns, I was desirous
of using means already in use as far as I could.
The cavity of the 7-inch shell was therefore filled
with slb, of ordinary cannon powder. It is now
evident that greater quantities of powder, either
alone or combined with other chemical agents more
powerful still, may be employed as bursting charges,
and much greater shattering effects will be produced.
The simple construction of shell and the means of
enclosing the bursting charge employed by me will
I believe admit of such agents being used with
much advantage, and without danger of premature
explosion.
There is also another point to be considered ; flat
fronted shells are not deflected upwards by water
like the " round-heads." They will pass through
very many feet of water and then penetrate a ship's
side, or damage her rudder, or screw, as was shown
by experiments made at Portsmouth. A shattered
hole made in a ship'e, side below the water line will

be plugged, if at all, with very great difficulty.
The further trials of the 12-pounder field gun
reported in the 7inzes of November 15 show that
inclined plates will not deflect these shells, the
plates having been completely penetrated at an
angle of 45 degrees.
ith some reluctance I take this opportunity of
adding a few words in reply to Sir W. Armstrong o
letter which appeared in the Times of November
13. In a former letter addressed to you by Sir
William he invited me to a'' proper and systematic
trial" of our respectiyu
bung, admitting, in reality,
that such a trial had not yet been made. I readily
accepted the proposition, and offered to refer it to a
tribunal to be jointly appointed, and to agree to any
condition that might be determined upon by that
tribunal. But Sir William now states that the only
comparative trials that can be made must he official.
It was not necessary to wait for the proposition
or consent of Sir W. Armstrong to enable official
trials to be made. If he meant his proposition to
go on further than this, his former letter would
appear purposeless, so far as it related to comparft`
tive trials of our respective guns.

LATV INTELLIGENCE, Nov. 18.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before Sir C. Cresswell.)
IN RE HIS MAJESTY RING GEORGE TIIE THIRD.
It will be in the recollection of our readers that
Mrs. Ryves applied to the Court some time back to
be permitted to establish her legitimacy as the
daughter of Mrs. Serres, who had claimed to be the
Princess Olive, the lawful child of his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cumberland, brother of King
George 111. Mrs. Ryves succeeded in proving her
legitimacy before the Court. The object of the lady
was to enable her to inherit the property left by
George the Third to her grandfather, and also a
sum of £15,000 bequeathed by his Majesty to her
mother. A suit had been instituted by the latter
in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury for the pur-
pose of proving the will in question ; but Sir John
Nicholl, the judge of that court, decided that he had
no jurisdiction in the case, the will being that of a
Sovereign.
Mr. Gibbon, on behalf of Mrs. Ryves, now moved
the Court to issue a citation directing that the Duke
of Wellington and the Attorney-General to appear
in the proceedings to enable her to prove the will.
The learned counsel said that the testament was
under the sign manual of George the Third, and
that the present Duke of Wellington, as the heir of
his father, stood in the position of his executor.
King George the Fourth succeeded to the estate of
his father, and the late Duke of Wellington had
been appointed his executor.

summed up in a careful manner, the jury retired to
consider their verdict.

vv
After an absence of two hours, at seven o'c►ock
the Jury returned into Court with a verdict of
Acquittal.
The verdict was received with vociferous cheering,
which was at once checked by the officers of the
court _ _ _

The accused was at once liberated, and left the
Court with his friends.

SURREY SESSIONS, Nov. 18.

(Before Mr. J. E. Johnson.)
Wm. Fowler, 35, was placed at the bar for felo-
niously stealing 17 yards of cocoanut fibre matting,
the property of the Crystal Palace Company.
Mr. Thompson prosecuted, Mr. Lilley defended.
The evidence showed that similar matting to that
in question had been stored in the above deposit of
the company, near which the prisoner, who is a car-
rier, had been seen with his cart on the 6th Nov.
A policeman saw a roll of matting on the top of the
prisoner's cart as he went away, at 6 o'clock in the
evening, and on asking where he got it, he replied
that he picked it up at the Gipsy-hill station. It,
however, appeared that oak and other leaves are
frequently blown into the deposit room, and in the
open roll part of the matting such leaves were found.
Mr. Lilley urged with great force that the case
was one not sufficiently brought home to the pri-
soner, who said that he had told the policeman the
truth, and had offered to give it up to whoever it
belonged to.
In this view the jury evidently concurred, as they
at once acquitted the prisoner.
ALLEGED ROBBERY BY A. CHARWOMAN-SINGULAR CASE.
Esther Newman, 23, married, was indicted for
feloniously stealing a sovereign, the property of W.
T. Langley, a salesman at the Borough Market.
Mr. H. Sharpe prosecuted, and Mr. Thompson
defended.
It appeared that the prisoner had been in the
occasional service of the prosecutor as charwoman,
and money having been missed from time to time
suspicion rested upon her. A few sovereigns were
marked, one of which having been missed, a police-
constable was sent for, and the prisoner taken into
custody. A man named Alfred Page, who saw the
prisoner go to the water-closet, searched that place
with Policeman 291 M, and the marked sovereign
was found on a beam over the door. Tho money
was identified as that marked by the prosecutor and
put into the box from which it was missed.
Mr. Thompson contended that there was no evi-
dence against the prisoner beyond mere suspicion
upon the most flimsy grounds, and called several
witnesses, who gave her an excellent character.
The jury were locked up several hours en Mon •
day night, and ultimately were discharged, without
giving any verdict.
She will be tried again, but most probably not
until the next sessions.

diction in the matter.
The motion was accordingly refused.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DARING ROBBERY AT A POST OFFICE.—John Scott,
described as a clerk, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
stealing a number of postage stamps at Messrs. Berrys,
grocers, and post-office keepers, 3, St. James'-street, in the
following daring manner.

Mr. Edward Holmes, assistant to Messrs. Berry, said,
that on the previous evening the prisoner came in and
asked for 10s. worth of 2d. postage stamps, 7s. 6d. worth of
3d. stamps, and either 2s. or 3s. worth of 4d. stamps. He
placed the 2d. or. 3d. stamps on the desk at the end of the
counter, and stooped to get the other stamps, when the
prisoner seized the sheet of 60 2d. stamps and rushed out of
the shop. He immediately pursued the prisoner, and after
a smart chase caught him in Ryder-street, and gave him
into custody.

Robert Jarvis, 156 C, said he took the prisoner to the
station, and found in his possession two books, quite new,
entitled the "Cosmopolitan Guide."
The prisoner said he wished the magistrate to dispose of
the case, but on being asked by Mr. Tyrwhitt whether he
was guilty or not, he said he took the stamps but did not
steal them, and upon this Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should
commit the prisoner for trial.—Committed.
ASSAULTS BY A FOREIGNER.—PauI Kullock, a foreigner,
was charged with assaulting Joseph King and Ellen Mona,
the latter barmaid at 7, Little Newport-street.
King, whose head was plastered with strapping, said that
on the previous night he heard the defendant using grossly
insulting language towards the young woman Mone, and
on expostulating with him he knccked him down, and his
held coming in contact with a step was badly injured, and
he became insensible for a few moments.

Defendant—He gave me blue eyes ; he gave me blue
eyes. (The defendant's eyes were badly discoloured.)
Witness—Oh, my dear gentlemen, I never touched him.
Ellen Mone, the barmaid, said after defendant had used
grossly insulting language to her he struck her on the head.
The defendant was in the habit of coming to the house every
day.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—To see you, or for beer P
Witness—Oh, for beer. Ho don't keep company with
mo.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—How came the defendant by that black
eye ?

Witness—lt was not done in our house.
Defendant—l've got a blue eye. I was much drunk.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—You will have to pay 20s. for each assaul
or 14 days.

Defendant was then removed, seeming greatly annoyed
at the fact of his having a " blue" eye.

LIIERA7 U.RE.

Three I ears in Melbourne. By Clara Aspinall.
Booth, Regent-street.
By no means the most pretentious of the works
that have appeared on the Antipodes, this is cer-
tainly one of the pleasantest, whilst, as regards the
district it describes, it yields to none for fullnessof
information. The author's first impression of Mel-
bourne was decidedly favourable. " I did not ex-
pect," she says, " to find myself in such a handsome
city ; the streets wider than those of any provincial
town I had ever seen in England. The first coup
cail, as I drove up Collins-street (which is 99 feet
wide), amazed me. This street is lined on each
side with handsome shops, banks, and private
houses, three or four stories high, worthy of the
neighbourhood of Hyde-park." But all is not gold
that glitters, and the skeleton concealed in Mel-
bourne is bad drainage. " Owing to this want some
direful malady may—we know not how soon—visit
this city and make desolate the hearths of many of
those through whose influence a good drainage
ought to have been effected. I was staying at one
time in a handsome house where the atmosphere of
the sitting-rooms was at certain times, and more
especially in wet weather, so obnoxious that we
could not remain in them, feeling that we
were inhaling poison. This was in consequence of
stagnant water, having no egress, remaining in the
house. The suburbs of the city, however, appear
to be healthier and pleasanter, and most well-to. de
families reside there in preference." Of Australian
politics the author says little, but she leads us to
infer that the democratic element is beginning to
have undue sway, and that the colony in this re-
spect has entered on a downward path. House
rent in Melbourne is, she says, very high, as are
also servant's wages. But little encouragement is
given to art in the colony. Religion is at a dis-
count. Piofessional men swarm like mosquitoes,
and the writer strongly recommends none to emi-
grate there who have not "invincible determina-
tion, great energy of purpose, patience, and self-
denial." To those who may intend to make the
vonture some useful directions are given, and they
will find the work repay perusal.
