withheld for the present it would do .ne harm, for the
6nly.person it could injure, if aitiy one at all, would be
the unfortunate woman hermit'. Re felt; extremely
anxious, and would not trespass on the time of the .ma•
gistrates, if he did not care about the case. What
would be the good of hearing Addi,tionai evidence, when
sufficient had been heard. to warrant her committal for
trial on the charge-of murder) The .object of the,law
had already been attained. . •
The Bench—But is it not necessary that tha addl.;
tional witnesses should be examined, in order that they
may be bound over to appear at the. assizes, -where
the prisoner-takes her trial. If that is not—done; how
can we enforce their attendance?
Mr. Everest:—A subpoena wouldle issued to compel
them to. attend.
The Bench—But who Could do that;
Mr. Everest—The clerk of easiee'Would; even if they
were not bound over by the magistrates:
The Bench—But would the judge who trieu.the
be satisfied with such a proceeding ? . .
Mr. Everest—l think he would be perfectly satisfied ;
there would be nothing that he could object to, and the
prisoner, on whose behalf I make the apt lication, is the
only person who cou'd complain. My opinion, morever„
is, that the !prisoner is not at the. present time in a fit
state to be examined.

Mr. Lovett said he bad no objection, since he had
heard Mr. Everest to coincide in his view of the case,
and be would furnish him with any additional evidence
he might receive before the trial.
The Bench : But how can that be done if the witnesses
are not examined before the magistrates ?
Mr. Lovett said that he could not give him what wag
to be laid before the grand jury.
The court was then cleared of strangers, and the
Bench, after consulting, ordered the door to be re-opened,
when

Mr. Spicer, the chairman of the bench, said that they
had carefully considered the application made by Mr.
Everest, and they had come to the conclusion that it
would be unnecessary to re-open. this truly unhappy case,
The Bench conceived that the warrant of the coroner
would be suffie'ent for the purpose, and which would
prevent any further. publicity being given to the case,
and the unpleasantness that would arise in taking the
evidence.

Mr. Everest expressed his thanks to the magistrates,
and said Olt was precisely the view he took of the case.
Mr. Biddlecombe inquired whether the warrant he
held from the coroner was to be put in force at once,
and whether he was to take her to Horsemonger-lane
Gaol ?
The Bench replied in the affirmative.
The unfortunate husband, who seemed a very respect-
able man, went to have another interview with the mur-
deress. She appeared to be not the least moved when
he entered her room. She took off her wedding ring
and told him to take it back again ; but on his refusing,
she said, " You want me to wear it then, do you ?" and
put it again on her finger. A fly having been procured
she was driven, in the custody of Mr. Biddlecombe, xo
the railway, and by that means she was taken to the
Waterloo-road, and was then removed to Horsemon,ger•
lane Gaol.

CITY OF LONDON HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF Tlllll
CHEST.—The quarterly meeting of the committee of the
City of London Hospital for Diseases of thO Chest was
held at the offices, in Liverpool-street, on Wednesday
last. The report states that during the last quarter
1,200 poisons have been admitted to the benefits of the
charity as out-patients. The hospital for in-patients is
now completed, but the cost of its erection, owing to the
anxious desire of the committee to make the internal
arrangements as perfect as possible, has considerably
exceeded the funds obtained, there being a defiCiency,
including the cost of furnishing, of 8,000/.
RAILWAYS IN INDIA.—The despatches of the East
India Company on the subject of railway communication
in the three Presidencies of Bengal, Bombay, and Ma-
dras have just been published, and furnish satisfactory
evidence of the intention of the authorities, both at home
and in India, to allow no delays to intervene in carry.
ing out the comprehensive system already resolved upon.
They likewise express the strong belief ertertained as
to the profits to be derived from these works, and that
the guarantee: accorded ;will never be a cause of loss to
the Indian treasury. The experience obtained in the
construction of the experimental line in Bengal having
been of the most satisfactory character, all doubts and
fears as to physical impediinents and other difficulties
were removed, and it only remained to decide upoe the
best routes for' the great trunk roads which should
abe-
come the arteries of communication througbout the
country. Under these circumstances, the following
steps have been adopted :—ln the Presidency of Bengal
the line by way of the Ganges Valley to the north-
west is to be completed as far as Delhi with all
practicable speed (the limit being seven years), and
to be extended through the Punjaub westward
also as soon as possible. In this case it is held
that, apart from all other considerations, the mili-
tary advantages will be incalculable. With respect to
mothe Bombay, Ba-
tain mountainous
Company
the Bombay Presidency, the object of par
im-
portance is to open a line for trade with Candeish, Berar
and the cotton•growing districts beyond them Pu

are exploring the pro-
posed route into the same province by the coast and the
valley of the Taptee. The former company have also
engaged to survey the country from
ncleleh by the
valley of Nerbudda to Allahabad andelkalirzapore, and
the latter company the line from Surat via Baroda and
Neemuch to Agra, the establishment of a connexion
bet Ween the trunk lines of Bombay and Bengal being
the principal aim. A line from Bombay to Poonah will
also be sanctioned as soon as the best route shall have
been ascertained. In the Madras Presidency the
line from Madras via Cuddapah and Bellary is pro-
posed to be continued so as to connect with that
from Bombay through Poonah, thus constituting a
trunk road uniting the two presidencies. and giving a
further vast extension both to the military and corn•
mercial resources of the territory. In the meantime,
the execution of the line from Madras via Vellore,
Vanemnbaddy, and Coimbatore to the western coast
will be proceeded with, branches being contemplated
ultimately to Bangalore and to the foot of the hills to.
ward Oetacamund. All these points having been ar-
ranged, the sole question is as to the best financial and
practical plan for their fulfilment, and the Court of Direc-
tors in Leadenhalestreet, as well as the Governor-Gene-
ral at Calcutta, are satisfied that the method bithezeo
followed, of giving a sufficient guarantee and maintaining
a right of supervision and control, will still be found the
most advantageous. In this decision they are fortified
byvaletable facts. The experimental line, it is observed,
in the Presidency of Bengal, the cost of which was esti-
mated at 14,5001. per mile, will cost under 9,0001. per
mile, .inclusive of rolling stock and the chief terminus
at Uourah, and this is thought likely to be the most ex-
pensive portion of the whole distance to Allababad.
Considering, therefore, that the general average cost of
railways in the United States is represented to be 9,2001.
per mile, and that these have always been cited as el.
ampler of the greatest economy, it is contended that there
is every reason to approve the course time far pursu,d,
and toTook collidencetothe results of an adlaor•
once to it.
