SECRETARY—Dudley Byrne, Esq.
PROSPEC rus.
The large number of emigrants who have left Great Britain for
the United States and the Canadas in the past year has suggested
the idea of an Association for the purpose of affording increased
facilities to those intending to emigrate towards gaining for them
a location there with the aid of the smallest expenditure in acquir-
ing it.
This Association, having already formed a very extended con-
nexion in the United States and the Canadas, proposes to confine
its operations exclusively to these countries, and chiefly to the
former.
It is found that nine-tenths of those who emigrate to the United
States are composed of small capitalists, who, for the most part,
have barely sufficient money to meet the expenses of the voyage
and the purchase of a location. To such parties loss of time
is a great disadvantage, and the expenses incurred in
search of a location too frequently absorb their small
means. They are in general unacquainted with the
geography of that vast country and its varied resources. Titles
to land, when they do not come direct from the Government, are
often defective, and the unaided emigrant runs a great risk of not
being able to fix himself in that portion of the United States where
his previous knowledge could be turned to the best account. These
and many other considerations equally important will naturally in-
duce emigrants to avail themselves of the agency and place themselves
under the auspices of an Association having the disposal of lands
more or less extensive in every State of the Union, and respecting
which every authentic information has been obtained and can be fur-
nished the emigrant beforehand.
The choice of a state is often of much importance. The quality of
the land, its title guaranteed, its contiguity to markets, the cost of
labour and value of produce, facilities of transport, as well as the
climate and the healthiness of the district—all these are of great con-
sequence. In fact, a prudent emigrant should endeavour to possess
himself with as much information before leaving home, as, if acting
on his own experience, he could barely hope to acquire after a
lengthened residence in the country.
In addition to this, the Association, by its arrangements for the
voyage out, and transport of the emigrant from the port of debark-
ation to the interior, will enable the emigrant to economize his
means so that neither his time nor his substance would be wasted
before his industry began.
The plan the Association proposes is chiefly to dispose of lands on
commission ; not to speculate in lands by purchase and re-sale on
its own account, but to afford the emigrant the benefit of its dealing
for the land, either with Government or proprietors. Its extended
connexion, information, arid establishment will be placed at the
service of the emigrant who seeks a new home under its directions.
The Association agrees beforehand to sell at cost price, adding merely
thereto a commission, graduated proportionally to the number of
acres in each farm or location, founded on the cost and expenses
attending his transport to the spot.
The lands which will pass through the hands of the Association
from the original owner to the ultimate occupier will be for the most
part in block ; their cost price per acre to the Association will be
much below that for which an individual could procure a single loca-
tion in any of the States where Government land is not to be had ;
the emigrant will in this respect alone have a direct advantage.
When he adds to this his saving on his outward expenses and journey
to the spot, his loss of time, the disappointments often incurred on
the other side, he will find the actual outlay per acre of his acquisi-
tion much less by a direct purchase through the Association, whose
arrangements will enable it to render him a service he would fail in
attempting for himself.
It is a case of the commonest occurrence with those who go out to
the United States to waste all their means and small resources with-
out ever arriving at the object of their wishes. Too many are thus
left for the time destitute, and forced to become labourers, instead of
proprietors of land.
It is for the purpose of enabling the uninformed emigrant of small
means to avoid this almost inevitable consequence that this Asso-
ciation is formed; to advise him before departure of the advantages
and disadvantages of settlement in each state, to assist him in the
choice of a location, and to inform him on what point to direct his
means and efforts. By this means he can ascertain to a trifle the
cost of his own and his family's removal. He will be told how he
should stock his land, what implements to purchase ; and in fact he
may acquire a year's experience in advance as to the best mode of
turning himself to account by the instructions to be given him
through the officers of the Association on the other side.
In some of the newer States, where labour is not abundant, the
Association will undertake to supply the emigrant with labour, by
offering such inducements as will secure it. These will form the
subject of special schemes of settlement, which the Association will
notify from time to time, and the price of land per acre will range
accordingly.
The owners of tracts of land in the United States will And It ad-
vantageous to avail themselves of the Association, it being the in-
tention of the Association to select the most suitable occupiers and
cultivators.
As a guarantee of the good faith of the Association, it proposes to
look to its chief profit, after payment of expenses in the manner
stated, to reserved lots, which ere not to exceed one-fourth of the en-
tire quantity in any one block. Those reserved lots will be disposed
of afterwards at their real market value, and without reference (as
in the case of the first emigrants) to prime cost.
The settlement of considerable tracts of land, and the voyage
thereto and location thereon of a number of families, will give rise
to many considerations which cannot be easily enumerated, but, to
insure success, cannot be overlooked by the Association. The phy-
I cal wants of the emigrant will require medical attendance on him
to the spot. Provision will be made likewise for his spiritual com-
fort, by providing a clergyman, in conformity with the religious per-
suasion of each hundred families ; and, as it not unfrequently hap-
pens that many families depart from the same neighbourhood, in all
cases where practicable, the choice of the pastor will rest with the
emigrants themselves.
Thu plan of the Association, therefore, embraces the following
points, viz.:—
l. The acquisition of tracts or portions of lands in the several
States of he Union and in Canada, for sale on commission.
2. The disposal of these lands to emigrants in such quantities as
n ill suit their individual means on the basis of the cost price of the
land, ad, ling so much per acre as will cover the charges attendant
on the examination of the lands and their titles, and a staff of in-
telligent officers to take charge 0, the emigrants and their interes",
up to planing them upon the land, tm.'er the most favourable Mr-
corns antes.
3. Contrac ' ing to place the emigrant and his family on the land
for a fixed sum, including all expenses of voyage out, and in the
interior, so ha lie may ow beforehand bow far his money will
go in securing the ob,ect of his wishes.
4. Th supply of labourers on such locations as may require it, at
so much per more, to be aided to prime cost of the :and, if not
otherwise paid f,.r by spe"ial agreement with emigrants.
5. Holding an interest in reserves not to exceed ono-fourth the
original acquisition ; these reserves not to be disposed of by the
Association for less than double the original average prime cost per

large great coat on. Barrett said to them, " Let me
pass." They drew up their legs, and Barrett passed
into the inner division of the compartment. He there
found Mr. Andrews. Barrett told him that the mail had
been robbed, and that he wished all the first-class pas-
sengers to be searched. Mr. Andrews expressed his rea-
diness to be searched, and pointed out his baggage which
was lying opposite, and went into the carriage where the
other two persons were. The policeman of Bridgewater
came to the carriage, but the guard said he knew Mr.
Andrews, and did not wish him to be searched. A slight
search was made in the division in which the two per-
sons had been sitting, and in the pocket two crape masks
were found, and in a pocket in the door dividing the
compartment a piece of candle. At this time Thomas,
the guard, came to the door of the carriage, and told
Barrett that he believed the man lying down, with the
Jim Crow hat on and cloak, was Pool. He also told
this to Mr. Barlow, who came to the door of the carriage
and called to him "Pool" three times. He made no
answer, upon which Mr. Barlow pulled him by the hat.
He took no notice, but kept the handkerchief to his face.
Mr. Barlow then pulled off his hat, saying, " Pool,
you are very sleepy to-night," upon which, he sat up
and wiped his face with the handkerchief. It was then
discovered that it was the prisoner Pool, who bad been
a guard on the line for four or five years, but had
been discharged. All idea of further search at that
time was then given up, and it was resolved to take
on all the passengers to Exeter. Mr. Gibbons, the su-
perintendent of the Bridgewater;police, who happened to
be at the station, was then placed in the division with
Pool and Mr. Andrews, and a policeman named Wil-
liams, and Rynheart, the guard, in the other with the
person who had been found in the division with Pool,
and who had .been put into the other division. This
person subsequently turned out to .be Nightingale. The
train then proceded to Exeter. During the journey
Rynheart obsetved Pool fumbling under xis cloak, and
found he had a pocket-book in his hand; he took it from
him, and. in. it, were afterwards found a pair of false
moustaches and some string. A conversation took place
during the journey, and both Nightingale and Pool
stated they were not travelling in company.
EIGHT o'CLocx.—The case for the prosecution is just
closed, and Mr. Cockburn is now 'addressing the jury
for the prisoners. The case cannot be finished until a
late hour.

ROME CIRCUIT.—Lezres, March 22.
(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.)
John Pearson, groom, 23, was indicted for the wilful
murder of Mary Ann Newman, on the 12th of Novem-
ber last, at the parish of St. Leonard's, Hastings, by
beating her on the head with a spade.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Horne prosecuted, and Mr.
Ballantine defended the prisoner.
The trial commenced at nine o'clock on Thursday
morning, and was not concluded until nearly twelve
o'clock at night. From the testimony of a great number
of witnesses, it appeared that for some time prior to the
day named in the indictment, the prisoner had been in
the service of a gentleman named Moore, residing at
Caterina Villa, St. Leonard's, but he had been discharged
from the service on the 31st of October, and it would ap-
pear he went to London to take up his abode. The family
of Mr. Moore consisted of himself, his sister, a coach-
man, housemaid, and the unfortunate deceased, who was
cook to his family. It appeared to be the practice of
Mr. Moore and his sister to attend a Baptist Chapel in
the neighbourhood of Hastings, and they were regularly
driven there by the coachman. Some of the servants
attended a church near the residence, and it appeared
that on Sunday mornings the house was left in charge of
the deceased only. On Sunday, the 12th of November,
the family went to church and chapel as usual, about a
quarter to eleven o'clock in the morning. The unfor-
tunate deceased was left at home alone ; and on the
return of Mr. and Miss Moore, about one o'clock,
a dreadful scene presented itself. It was first discovered
that the doors had been fastened on the inside, and upon
an entrance to the house being effected through a win-
dow, the body of the deceased was found lying in the
passage adjoining the kitchen. She appeared to have
received some dreadful injuries upon the head, which had
evidently been occasioned by a spade that was lying near
her, covered with blood; and, although she was not
dead, she was perfectly insensible, and after lingering for
two days she expired. Upon further examination it was
discovered that some watches, plate, and a good deal of
valuable property had been stolen, and it was evident
that the crimes of murder and robbery had both been
committed, and a suspicion almost immediately appeared
to arise that the offences must have been perpetrated by
some person well acquainted with the habits of the
family. Inquiries were immediately set on toot, and
the prisoner was taken into custody in Hastings the
same day, and after several examinations he was at
length committed to take his trial for this offence, and
also for the robbery. The evidence to support the
indictment was entirely of a circumstantial character.
It was proved that on the Sunday before the
murder the prisoner had come down into this part of the
country, and he was seen by several persons going in the
direction of Hastings on that day. On the 12th of No-
vember, an hour after the murder, in all probability, had
been effected, the prisoner was seen at the public-house
of a person named hicks, about two miles and a half
from Hastings. lle appeared very agitated, and asked
for water, which was given to him, and he drank off
nearly a pint. The house of this person, it appeared,
was on the road leading to the prisoner's mother's, and
he was proved to have called at the house of another
man very soon afterwards, where lie a second time asked
for water, and again drank copiously. It then appeared
that the prisoner proceeded on to his mother's house,
where he asked for a change of linen, which was given
to him, and he at the same time requested his mother
to give him a pocket handkerchief, as he said he had
lost his own, and this fact proved a very material
ingredient to the inquiry. It was shown that very near
to a wood, when the prisoner was in this neighbour•
hood, a gamekeeper, who was in a shed near the house
kept by Hicks, saw some appearances which induced
him to make a careful search; and the result was, that
he discovered, hidden under a quantity of dried leaves,
the wnole of the property that had been stolen from Mr
Moore's at the time, no doubt, when the murder was
committed, tied up in a blue and white handkerchief. A
woman with whom the prisoner had lodged in London,
upon this, was summoned as a witness, and she stated
that a day or two before the prisoner left London to go
down to Hastings, she had seen a handkerchief of a
similar description to the one that contained the pro-
perty in the prisoner's possession, and she also said that
when she asked him to let her wash this handkerchief
he refused, and then washed and ironed it himself, aid
she expressed a strong opinion that it was the same
handkerchief, and it at all events appeared to be of
exactly the same pattern. Besides these facts, evi-
dence was adduced to show that the footmarks in the
place where the property was found corresponded
with the shoes that were upon the prisoner, and the
footsteps that were upon a bank outside the wall of
Mr. Moore's garden were also represented to corres-
pond with the prisoner's shoes. In addition to these
facts, a witness was also examined, who stated that about
the time when Mr. Moore's family usually went to
church, he saw the prisoner standing in a position from
whence he could command a view of the premises, and
see every person who left the house. There were a few
other minor circumstances in the case, but the above nar-
rative comprises the whole of the material facts that were
adduced in evidence.
Mr. BALLINTINE questioned all the material witnesses
at great length, and by his cross-examination, &c., suc-
ceeded in creating a doubt with regard to the identity
of the handkerchief and the footmarks. Ho then made a
most energetic address to the jury on behalf of the pri-
soner, urging, with great earnestness, that although un-
doubtedly a case of strong suspicion had been made out,
the evidence was not sufficient to justify a conviction for
murder.
Mr. Baron PARKE then summed up, and the jury,
after a very short deliberation, returned a verdict of Not
Guilty.
The prisoner was then arraigned upon the indictment
charging him with the robbery, and no evidence being
offered for the prosecution, a verdict of Not Guilty was
recorded.

LIVERPOOL, MARCH 23.—At this day's market there was
a good attendance of town and country buyers, and a consider-
able business was clone in wheat, at the full prices of Tuesday,
and in some cases at a slight advance. Only a moderate de-
mand was experienced for oats, but fine samples brought a little
more money. For barley and peas there was no inquiry, but
beans were better sold. Barrel flour was readily saleable at
23s per barrel, but 6d advance was generally asked. No change
can be noted in Indian corn, but fine yellow being scarce, was
held fer 309 6d per qr. Indian meal neglected.
NEWBURY, MARCH 22.—T0-day's market is moderately
supplied with wheat, yet more than sufficient to meet the hand-
to-mouth requirements of the trade. Finest qualities sold
slowly at a decline of is per qr., and other descriptions were
almost unsaleable, although to effect sales a larger reduction
would have been submitted to. Barley moderate supply; fine
malting obtained full rates, and other descriptions for seed were
in more request at late rates. Beans and peas short supply,
and fully obtained last week's prices. Oats large supply and
the trade exceedingly depressed, it being very difficult to sell

Hannah Sandles, 47, widow, was indicted for the wil- 1
ful murder of her son, Thomas Sandles, by drowning him
in'a well.
Mr. Cobbett and Mr. Johnson prosecuted. No coun-
sel was instructed to defend the prisoner, but at the
request of the Court Mr. Clarkson watched the case in
her behalf.
The evidence for the prosecution made out the charge
against the prisoner in the most conclusive manner. It
appeared that she was left a widow with two children-
-3 boy and a girl, aged respectively six and eight years.
In the early part of last year she was again pregnant,
and she was admitted with her two children into the
Chayley union workhouse, and in July last she
was delivered of the unfortunate infant whose
death formed the subject of the present inquiry.
It appeared that before the child was born the
prisoner was frequently heard to express a wish
that it might not come into the world alive, and she
appeared deeply impressed with a feeling of shame at
the position in which she had placed hersef by her mis-
conduct. She remained in the union, with her three
children, until the Bth September, when she expressed
her intention to leave, and go to London with her family,
where she expected to get work. The master of the
workhouse advised her to remain, but she persisted in
her determination to go to London; and she left the
workhouse on the morning of the day in question, a six •
pence and some bread being given to her to help her on
her journey ! The prisoner was observed, with her
three children, going along different parts of the road
towards London; but in the afternoon she went into a
hear shop about five miles from the workhouse, and at
this time the baby was missing. The prisoner proceeded
on her journey to London, and nothing more transpired
until the 16th of September, when a woman named Man-
ners, who occupied a cottage and garden upon the road
between the workhouse and the beer-shop, where the
prisoner was seen without her baby, discovered in the
well upon her premises the dead body of a child. It was
quite naked, and the death had been occasioned
by suffocation from drowning, or some other
cause. Inquiries were made, and it was speedily
ascertained that the infant was the prisoner's, and the
same she had taken away with her from the workhouse
a few days before. Immedately upon this discovery

dispatched to London, accompanied by the master of
workhouse, to seek for the prisoner, and having found
her, she was asked what had become of the baby. When
the question was put to her she became dreadfully agi-
tated; but at length said she had left it in charge of one
of her sisters, which statement turned out to be utterly
false; and on liar being further questioned, she refused
to give any explanation, or to say what had become of
child. She was then taker► into custody; and on her
room being seat.ched, the clothes that were upon the
poor infant II hert the prisoner took it away from the
workhouse were found tied up in a bundle. There were
other circumstances in the case which tended completely
to exclude the possibility of the prisoner's innocence, and
there appeared to be no doubt that in a moment of
desperation she had thrown the child into the well,
although it appeared in the course of the case that up to
that period the prisoner had treated her children in a
kind manner.

The Learned JUDGE having gone carefully through
all the material points in the case during his summing up,
The jury, after a very short dclibi ration, returned a
verdict of Guilty, but recommended the prisoner to
mercy, on the ground that her conduct to her children
had formerly been kind and affectionate.
His LORDSHIP then put on the black cap, and passed
sentence of death upon the prisoner, and he at the same
time told her not to place auy reliance on the recommen-
tion of the jury, as he was afraid, from the dreadful cha-
racter of the offence, the law must inevitably take its
course. Ho would, however, transmit the recommenda-
tion to the proper quarter, but he again entreated her
not to imagine that it would be of any avail in procuring
a mitigation of her sentence. Judgment was then passed
in the usual form.

The wretched prisoner, who was almost in a fainting
state, was thea carried away by the gaolers quite in-
sensible.

NORTHERN CI RC VlT.—Liverpool, March 20
NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Betore Justice COLERIDGE.)
KERSHAW V. CABS.--BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.

In this case Mr. Watsen, Q.C., and Mr. F. Robinson,
appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and
Mr. Hugh Hill for the defendant.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an elderly
widower, aged 67, to recover compensation in damages
from the defendant, an elderly widow of 57, for a breach
of promise of marriage. The defendant pleaded that she
did nut promise in manner and form.
Mr. WATSON, in opening the case to the jury, said the
case seemed to excite some mirth, as being an action,
brought for a breach of promise of marriage by a gentle-
man against a lady. Both the plaintiff and the defendant
were past that period of life when the sensibilities of youth
were wounded by such a contract being broken. The
plaintiff was a widower, and resided at Rochdale, where
he had acquired considerable property; but in consequence
of having speculated in railways a good deal of it had been
wasted. The defendant lived at a place called Carr, near
Burton, which was near Bury. The plaintiff was a
little above sixty, the defendant was not quite so much.
In the course of the past year the parties had become
acquainted with each other, and an agreement of mar-
riage had been come to between them. The defendant
was possessed of some property—a few acres of land
and a house. In the month of September last year, the
plaintiff made advances to the defendant. He could not
prove what had taken place between the plaintiff and
the defendant when the marriage was agreed upon be-
tween them, as they were alone. But he should be able
to prove that overtures of marriage had been made by
the plaintiff to Mrs. Cass, which had been well received
by her, and that ultimately she had agreed to marry
him. On the 12th of October, 1848, a letter was writ-
ten by Mrs. Cass—or rather by her brother-in-law, Mr.
Rose, a local methodist preacher, as her agent, as he
should prove—to the plaintiff. That letter was as fol-
lows:

" Waterhead Mill, Oct. 12, 1848.
" Dear Sir,—l write to you to say I shall not be a
home till Monday next; and also I have considered the
question you mentioned in all its bearings.—(Laughter.)
I have come to the conclusion, at least for the present,
not to enter into the solemn and important state of mar-
riage. I hope you may direct your attention to another
quarter. I think you may possibly find one who will
suit you much better. Wishing you the tree enjoyment
of the things of this life—(Loud laughter)—but above
all, the meetness to enjoy the things in an eternal state,
and subscribe myself, "MARIA CASS."
This letter was obviously telling the plaintiff when the
defendant would be at home, and she was clearly also
taking time to consider the question, and that it was
open to her to change her mind, because she only
said that this was the conclusion she had come
to "at least for the present." The Learned Counsel
' said he never saw a letter more calculated to
advance a man's suit. The plaintiff had accordingly
pressed his suit, and in due time it was agreed
upon between them that they should be married. It was
agreed that the marriage should be performed by li-
cense on the first market Monday of 1849, at Rochdale,
and a wedding ring was purel esed, and the plaintiff's
son was to go to the 'defendant's house to take an in-
ventory of her goods to be settled upon her. To his
surprise, however, on going for this purpose oil the 15th
of December, the defendant said, •• No; that something
hal arisen between herself and his father, and she had
changed her mind." The plaintiff accordingly went
over to see what the change was about, when the de-
fendant told him she had heard he had been married
twice, and had treated both his wives with great cruelty,
and she would nut, therefore, have him. This was nut
true, and, fur anything the Learned Counsel knew, was
the invention of some person who probably had an eye
to the widow himself.
The Counsel for the plaintiff then proceeded to call his
witnesses.
Joseph Andrew Kershaw, a young man of about 30
years of age, son of the plaintiff, examined—He lives at
Rochdale, and is a fruit dealer. His father had some
household property. Is a widower, and his mother had
been de ad seven years. The defendant is a widow living
at Carr in Burton, near Bury, four miles from Rochdale.
At the end of last year his father used to visit at Mrs.Cass's.
Witness on the 17th of last Nov. went over with his
father to Bury, and saw the defendant. They took tea
with her. 'Witness told defendant that he was very
much grieved at his father's choice, but should like to
see them living comfortably. She thanked him, and
told him she would be an affectionate mother-in-law.
He replied he would endeavour to be a dutiful son.—
(Loud laughter.) In November last he drove Mrs.
Cass, the defendant, and her sister (Mrs.- Rose)
from Bury to Rochdale in a gig. They dined at
his father's house, with him and his father. A
conversation then took place respecting the marriage.
She made an inquiry about being married by banns of
the clerk of the parish church at Rochdale; and on
being informed that the banns must be published in the
parishes in which both resided, she objected to it, sine
his father proposed that they should be married by
license, to which she agreed, and the marriage was
fixed to take place on the first market Monday in 1849. On
driving them home again through Rochdale, Mrs. Rose
desired him to stop at Mr. Williamson's, the jeweller's
shop, to obtain a welding-ring for Mrs. Cass. He was
also requested to take an inventory of her goods to he
placed in her marriage settlement. On the Friday fol-
lowing he went accordingly to take the inventory, when
Mrs. Cass told him she was very sorry to disappoint
him, but something had happened between her and
his father, and she had changed her mind and wished
to see her father. He was afterwards present when his
father saw Mrs. Cass. His father said, " I hope you
have changed your mind, Mrs. Cass:" she said, " No, I
have nos," His father then pulled a ring out of his
pocket and tendered it to her, and hoped she would per-
form her promise. She said, " No, she had heard he
had had two wives, and had been a cruel man to both."
He said it was false. She said, she had heard it from
two parties. He then said, " Then why, Mrs. Cass,
did you promise me marriage, and induce me to buy the
ring if you did not intend to fulfil your promise?" His
father then said—" Mrs. Cass, I have conducted myself
like a gentleman since first I proposed to you. I have
never deceived you." She said—" You did, sir."
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Waxy-Ts—Was
your father in tears when he came away from Mrs.
Cass's?—(Loud laughter.) Witness—No; I don't
think he w.as.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS—What age is your father ?
Witness—Sixty. seven.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS—Your father first saw the
defendant in S. ptember, and all was areanged in Decem-
ber—was it? W 411e:l—Yes.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS—Did not your father dress
himself up and pull the hairs out of his mese before he
went to see Mrs. Cass?—(Roars of laughter.) Witness
—I am not aware that he did.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS—What had you for dinner
the day Mrs. Cass and Mrs. Rose came to your father's
house? Witness—Mutton, potatoes, and pies.—(Re'
na wed laughter.)
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS—Don't you know that your
father was paying his addresses to Mrs. Holden, the land-
lady of the White Bear, in Manchester, a short time
anbe-
fore the time you have spoken of? Witness—No
not aware that he was.
