Ouseley and Deffaudis I am afraid it is impossible ;
even suppose by strict orders from their Governments
they agree upon the terms, they will throw obstacles
in the execution of the treaty. The old proverb of
" where there is a will there is a way," applies well
to the Ministers, and as long as they have any inter-
ference in the question, it will be very difficult to
settle.

The taking of Pay.andu on the 26th ult., by
Frutos Rivera, assisted by the French, has caused a
great sensation here, on account of the horrors com-
mitted. The French brig of war, Pandour, fired
150 shells into the town, and Rivera, not contented
with this destruction of property, set fire to the town
—the number killed on both sides is estimated at
about 700. So much towards pacifying the Banda
Oriental; for if they go on killing people at this rate,
the ministers will certainly obtain their object, for
there will not remain any inhabitants to fight. We
shall,as well as many of our neighbours, be losers,
as many who owed us money were killed in the
assault.

The report that a steamer was waiting the arrival
of Mr. FlAod, to bring out the decision of the British
and French Governments, has given spiri's to the
people, and all are anxiously waiting for thin desired
event—the general wish is for peace.

EXPEDITION TO THE NORTH-

WEST.
(From the South Australian Gazette, of Sept. 19.)
We announced last week the unfortunate termina-
tion of the expedition to the north-west of Lake
Torrens, under the direction of Mr. J. A. Horrocks.
Yesterday afternoon an express arrived from Mr.
Robinson's station, with the intelligence that Mr.
Horrocks and his party had arrived there. Mr.
Horrock's wounds were not considered desperate,
although it was feared that amputation of the injured
hand would be necessary. Medical aid, we believe,
was promptly dispatched, and the following letter
from Mr. Horrocks himself to the gentlemen who
contributed to the expense of the outfit of the expedi-
tion gives all the particulars, and will be read with
much interest :

" DepOt Creek, Sept. 8, 1846.
"It is with the greatest regret I have to inform the
committee and my fellow-colonists who subscribed to
the expedition, of its untimely and unfortunate termi-
nation.
"Having made an excursion, accompanied by Mr.
Gill, to the table land on the west of Lake Torrens,
to ascertain if it were practicable to form a depot in
that neighbourhood; and, not succeeding in finding
either water or grass, I returned to Depot Creek, de-
termined to make an excursion with the camel, as it
was impracticable to take horses sufficiently far, from
what I saw of the desolate barren country.
" Having ascertained, the morning previous to our
departure, from the summit of the range behind
Depot Creek, the bearings of a high land seen by
Messrs. Eyre and Darke, to be 32 deg. north of west
by compass, and the distance I considered about 80
miles, I determined to make straight for that land.
With this view I started on the 28th of August, ac-
companied by Mr. Gill and Bernard Kilroy, with
provisions sufficient for three weeks, and ten gallons
of water, the camel being loaded with about 350
pounds.

" Our first day's journey brought us to one of the
creeks running from Lake Torrens into the Gulf,
distance about ten miles. The last four miles were
over red sandhills, partially covered with oaten grass.
"The second day's journey we camped on the west
side of the table land, distance 15 miles, the first
eight miles over a continuation of sandhills, the last
seven miles over a country covered with stones and
salsolaceous plants.
" The next day we entered a light scrub and very
heavy sandhills, 15 miles.

"'The day following, scrub and very heavy sand-
hills, and plains all covered with salsolaceous plants.
The day after, having made six miles., we reached
a large salt water lake, about ten miles long and five
miles broad. The land we were making for we dis-
tinctly saw. I supposed about 25 miles distant. In
rounding this lake—which I named Lake Gill—Ber-
nard Kilrop, who was walking ahead of the party,
stopped, saying he saw a beautiful bird, which he
recommended me to shoot to add to the collection.
My gun being loaded with slugs in one barrel and
ball in the other, I stopped the camel to get at the
shot-belt, which I could not get without his lying
down. Whilst Mr. Gill was unfastening it, I was
screwing the ramrod into the wad over the slugs,
standing close alongside of the cameL At this mo-
ment the camel gave a lurch to one side, and caught
his pack on the cock of my gun, which discharged the
barrel I was unloading, the contents of which first
took off the middle finger of my right hand between
the second and third joints, and entered my left cheek
by my lower jaw, knocking out a row of teeth from
my upper jaw.
"In this dilemma I was fortunate in, having two
most excellent companions. We were now sixty-five
miles from the depot or any water that we knew of,
and all the water remaining was about five gallons.
With very great reluctance I consented to Bernard
Kilroy's entreaty for him to return back and fetch
Mr. Theakston and two horses, as I knew part of the
country was inhabited by a fierce lot of natives, as
they had attacked Mr. Gill and myself on every pre-
vious excursion. He said he was not afraid, therefore
he left, and reached the depot the next evening by
about nine o'clock. Having missed the tracks during
the night, he could not have walked less than 100
miles from the morning of the accident to the time he
reached the depot, having most bravely accomplished
his task.
" Mr. Gill stopped to nurse me, his attention and
kindness were not to be surpassed, considering the
distance we were away, and the uncertainty of Kil-
roy's reaching the depot. Mr. Gill has shown him-
self to be a brave and steady companion by remaining
with me. Mr. Gill has taken several sketches of this
country which will show to those interested how very
improbable it is that any stations can be made to the
west of Lake Torrens. All the drainage is into fresh
water ponds and salt water lakes. The ponds are ap-
parently dry in a very few days after rain, the water
while it is in them being of a dark red ocherous
colour, the size of them varying from half an acre to
five acres, and when full not more than six inches in
depth.

i` The hill we were making for is table-topped with
precipitous sides about seven miles in length; to the
N.N,E. are three more smaller hills, continuing on
from thfitn is a low land, gradually diminishing in
height till it joins the land running from Lake Tor-
rens. I did not find a spot where there was any pro-
bability of finding a sprink ; grass there is none
except a little wild oaten grass, which grows in the
sand here and there, and that not sufficient to feed a
horse.

" It is with extreme sorrow I am obliged to ter-
minate this expedition, as the two men that were with
nit, the camel and myself, were in excellent working
condition ; and had it not been for this accident, it
was my intention to have followed down this low
land, running to the N.N.E., and returned by Lake
Torrens, a distance of between 300 and 400 miles ;
and would then have been able to have given p, more
accurate account; although I am convinced we should
not have found one acre of ground to make a station,
judging from the land I had gone over, and what I
could discern with my naked eye, there being a
sterile sameness throughout. Had it been earlier in
the season, and my wounds healed up, I should have
started again.
" On Sunday last I returned to the depot, horses,
myself, and party, all completely knocked up.—l
remain, yours truly, " J. A. HORROCKS.
" Mr. C. Platts, Hon. Sec. Northern Expedition."
We are much concerned to announce the return of
Dr. Knott, from Mr. Robinson's station, to which
Mr. Horrocks had been conveyed, with the intelli-
gence of the very dangerous state in which that gen-
tleman is. Mr. Horrocks had been much weakened
by his removal from place to place, and the fatal ter-
mination of his career was hourly looked for.

A NOVELTY AT COURT.—Though the drawing-
room is now a week old, yet there was one circumstance
so singular and so remarkable—so significant of the
times—that it will well hear to be the subject of gossip
between us now. It is no less a fact than the Turkish
Minister actually bringing his wife to court, not
shrouded and veiled up to the eyes, to screen her from
the profane gaze of "dogs of Christians" and hurried
secretly into the presence of a female Sovereign, but
hanging on the arm of her Ottoman lord, and threading
her way through the diplomatic crowd in a court dress,
not distinguished from any other lady, though the
Minister, of course, appeared in his national costume.
Just fancy the old Tories of Constantinople hearing of
this dreadful innovation—there's an end of the con
stitution of Turkey at once; and a pretty account the
Princess will give, when she gets back among the
secluded inhabitants of the harem, of the privileges she
has enjoyed. But while this is all very pleasant, as far
as the Turkish liclies are concerned, we all know that
Ottoman gentlernt!n are allowed four wives by law, and
all who can afford it generally avail themselves of their
privilege. What is to be done, then, with wives No. 2,
3, and 4, should they claim to come to court; or what
would her Majesty do if a Turkish ambassador should
bring his four ambassadresses all at once? Some such
ult .• seems to have presented itself to the minds of
the our, and the diplomatic authorities, for the Princess
Callimaki was not presented with the forms and cere-
monies usual on the introduction of the wife of a foreign
minister.—Cheitenham Looker-ox.

ROYAL MAIL STEAM-PACKET
COMPANY.

The general annual meeting of this company was
held yesterday, at the London Tavern, at one o'clock, for
the purpose of receiving the report of the directors,
and for electing two directors in the place of Mr. T.
Baring, M.P., and Captain Mangles; and also for the
election of an auditor in the place of Mr. A. B. Roberts.
all of whom retired by rotation, but were eligible ft r
re-election, for which they offered themselves. The chair
was taken by Mr. Colville.
The advertisement convening the meeting having
been read,
The CHAIRMAN said he had to regret the news which
had arrived, by way of Mexico, of the loss of the Tweed.
the reports respecting which were mainly correct. Hi
would then call upon the Secretary to read the report,
which is as follows :
"The working account, as contrasted with that of the
preceding year, shows an increase in the disbursement,:
amounting to 10,8901. 3s. 2d., occurring chiefly under
the heads of ' wages," provisions,' and stations.' The
general rise in the rate of seamen's wages, an additioe
to the pay of the officers, which the Court have consi-
dered for the interests of the company, and the extre
charge arising from having to send Out the Eagle for
intercolonial service, to replace the City of Glasgow,
will explain the increase under the head of wages.'
The increase under the . head of provisions' is to
be attributed to the additional number of pas.
sengers, and, in part, likewise, to the change
of intercolonial steamers alluded to above. The
charge stations ' has been increased by the es-
tablishment for
ment of an agency and other arrangements at
Panama, and by the expense incurred in increasing Of
coaling accommodation and general efficiency of the
depot at St. Thomas. The only charge upon the Insur-
ance Fund during 1846, is a sum of 275/. 2s. Bd., arising
out of sundry small liabilities; and it will therefore be
seen that the investment under this head up to the end
of the year amounted to 49,281/. as., which has since
been augmented by the annual appropriation of
25,000/. for the year 1847, making a total
of 74.2814 55., now invested in 31 per Cent. Government
Stock. Having explained the principal causes which
have occasioned increased disbursements, amounting to
10,890/. 3s. 2d , it is most satisfactory to notice that the
receipts from freight and passage money show an aug-
mentation to nearly double that amount, exhibiting an
improvement upon the year 1846 of 20,6971. 16s. 101.
It is moreover matter of congratulation to notice that
this steady advance (with the single exception of outward
freight) has occurred under every head of receipts from
cargo and passengers, outward, intercolonial, and home-
ward. The small falling off of 5181. 4s. 7d. in outward
freight may be ascribed to the shipments of quicksilver
for Mexico having been interrupted during the first part
of the year, in consequence of the commencement of
hostilities between that country and the United States
of North America. The surplus upon the working
account shows an increase upon the year 1846 amounting
to 9,8071. 13s. Rd., and so far as the transactions of the
year 1847 can be known at present, the receipts of the
company are still steadily advancing. The arrange-
punts for conveying passengers and treasure across the
Isthmus of Panama are now completed; and an agree-
ment has been signed by the Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company and the Pacific Steam Navigation Company,
fixing the rate of freight, and all other particulars, so
that there shall be every encouragement for par-
ties to avail themselves of this line of com•
munication between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans.
Unceasing exertions are made, not only to keep the
company's ships in good repair, but to give them addi-
tional strengthening where necessary, and to improve
their' passenger accommodation by all the means that
experience can suggest. Six ships were re-coppered,
and two ships received new boilers in 1846. Three ships
have been re-coppered already during the present year,
and one ship is now receiving new boilers. Two other
sets of new boilers are in progress, one of which, if not
both, it is hoped to get put on board before December
next. These measures, and bringing the Conway (a new
ship) into operation, will, it is trusted, maintain the
service in that full efficiency which is as essential to the
interests of the company, as it is desirable to insure the
punctual discharge of its contract with her Majesty's
Government.
" Since the above report was prepared a confirmation
of the loss of the Tweed has been received this morn-
ing. The loss of life, in addition to that of the ship,
is deeply to be lamented, but it is satisfactory
to find that the energy and firmness of the
passengers, as well as that of the officers and crew,
were moo praiseworthy, and tended much, under
Providence, to the ultimate safety of the survivors who
reached the reef from the wreck. It would be prema
Lure to offer any comment on this unfortunate accident,
but the circumstances shall be strictly inquired into."
The CHAIRMAN said that, before putting the report,
it was satisfactory to state that arrangements had been
made to prevent any deficiency in carrying on the ser-
vice in the West Indies. The vessel at present employed
there had proved insufficient for the purposes for which
she was intended, and the Conway would consequently
shortly leave Southampton for that duty. He had also
great satisfaction in drawing attention to the first fruits
of the arrangement for forming a communication across
the Isthmus of Panama, there having been an arrival this
morning, both of passengers and produce, from the
western side of the isthmus. This was the only point
that required any particular remark, and he would there-
fore put the adoption of the report to the meeting.
On the report being put,
Mr. RIDGWAY said that he particularly desired that
there should be some explanation of the working of the
company in the months of August, 1845 and 1846.
Mr. POYNDER suggested that this matter had been
settled at the last general meeting, and it was therefore
incompetent to entertain the matter at all.
Mr. RIDGWAY contended that it was a subject that
the meeting could entertain, but as he had expected a
large increase in the amount of his dividend, he could
not but complain of the increase in the rate of the sala-
ries at Southampton, which, -he stated, amounted to at
least one-twentieth of the amount of the whole of the
receipts. He was also inclined to question the lumping
of the several items in the accounts; indeed, he was
dissatisfied altogether with the state of the accounts, and
thought that they might be much more clearly rendered.
He saw also that there was to be a new ship purchased,
and he wished to know what was the name of that ship,
as there were several naval men present who knew the
merits and demerits of every vessel on the coast, by
whom the judiciousness of purchase might be estimated.
—(lt being suggested that this might be injurious to the
company, the Hon. Proprietor retrained from further
remark.)—At any rate he wished to know whether the
Conway was to take out freight or a letter bag. He
saw also that there was an Outlay of somewhere about
55,0004 with the Bank of England, or elsewhere.
The CHAIRMAN, in replying to the observations of
Mr. Ridgway, said that the question of the working of
the company in the months of August, 1845 ar.d 1846,
had been entirely settled at the meeting in October.
%Vivi respect to the rise in salaries all he had to observe
was that there could be no worse economy than that of
fixing the salaries so low as to obtain the services
ocly of inefficient persons, ani he thought further, that
if the directors were entitled to the confidence of the
proprietary that no question should be raised on such a
matter as this. With respect to the Conway, as it was
desirable that she should reach her destination as quickly
as possible she would carry out neither freight nor a
mail. With regard to the 55,0001. now out upon loan.
he had to remark that it was d, posited with the North-
Western Railway Company, from whom ample security
is held, and the cash is already yielding dividends to the
company. The losses of vessels since the establishment
of the company had been the Medina, the Solway, the
Isis, and the Tweed, besides the Actaeon, a small steamer
employed amongst the islands.
By the general account it appeared that during the
year, up to December 21st, the expenses were 285,478/.
Is. 7d., while the receipts were 407,116/. 18s. 2d., show-
ing a profit of 121,638/. 9s. 7d.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed a dividend of 11. 15s. per
share, which was unanimously agree.l to, as also that it
should be payable on Tuesday, the 13th instant.
The retiring directors and auditor were re-elected,
and thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the
meeting was dissolved, its members evidently being well
pleased with the proceedings of the day.

DANGEROtra SPORT.—On Thursday, two lads,
named Haliwell and Harvey, who are in the employment
of Messrs. Tebbutt, Rawes, and Coy, Back King-street,
were placed at the bar of the Borough Court, on a
charge of firing a cross-bow the day before, by which
the lives of certain persons were endangered. The cross•
bow, which was produced in court, is a powerful instru-
ment, and fitte to do execution not le-s decisive than a
musket or pistol. It appeared that the lads had got
hold of this bow, which Mr. Tebbutt said he kept in his
private office, and were almost daily in the habit of
amusing themselves with it. On this occasion they used
pieces of lead about the weight of a common pistol
bullet, and fired the bow in the direction of Cross-street.
According to their own confession, each fired a shot.
One piece went through the top pane of the window of
the Scottish Widows' Fund Insurance Office (Mr. Booth.
man's), and then through the glass partition which di-
vides the shop from an inner office, and striking against
the opposite wall rebounded into the middle of the room.
Mr. Boothman's clerk vvis 'in the room at the the time,
but fortunately a little to the one side of the window, and
escaled unhurt. The distance of the shot was about too
yards. The other lead was fired in the same direction,
only a
i little higher, into the office of Mr. Petty, soh-
citor, n the flat above. Mr. Petty has his desk right in
the middle of the window, and had been sitting there
just before the shot was fired, but had left his seat for a
few moments. Inspector M‘Mullen was sent to makein-
quiries, but the culprits at first denied all knowledge of
the matter, and only confessed when he discovered the
bow in a room up stairs. A sister of one of them said
she was sure her brother had no evil intent ; but Mr.
Maude said that that was no excuse whatever for lads
like them taking up a dangerous instrument, and firing
recklessly in the centre of a crowded town. They had
had a narrrow escape from being brought up on a charge
of murder, one gentleman being seated in the direction of
this shot just a moment before it was fired. Thought-
lessness would not be any excuse whatever in such a
case, for nobody could pretend ignorance of the conse-
quences likely to ensue from firing into the heart of a
crowded thoroughfare. He hoped this would be a
warning to them and others to be more careful in future.
He fined them in 10s. 6d., the value of the broken glass,
and 10s. each besides. He expressed a hope that such a
dangerous article would be kept out of the reach of boys
like them. Mr. Tebbutt said he had already discharged
them, and would take care to do as Mr. Maude had sug-
gested. He had no idea that they were able to get at
the bow, which he kept in his own room. The fine
having been paid the prisoners were discharged.—Man-
chester Examiner.

Despatches were received ye;terday at the Colonial
Office from the Governors of the West India colonies.
Despatches were sent off last evening from the Colonial
Office for the Governor of Wept Australia.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester. April 7

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE
David Johns. 47, a sweep, wai charged with bur
21ariously breaking open the dwelling-house of James
rrotman on the night of the 20th of February last, and
,tealing therein a tilver watch and other articles, the
property of James and William Trotman ; also with
having, at Hailes, on the 21st, maliciously cut and
stabbed John Banning, with blunt to murder him.
The prisoner pleaded guilty to the first charge, and
not guilty to the second charge.
John Banning examined—l saw the prisoner about
half past five in the morning. I was dressed it: police-
man's clothes. When the prisoner saw me be turned
out of the path. When I was about to speak I received
a blow from some weapon on the side of my head. I
had a stick in my band, and immediately retaliated, by
giving the prisoner several blows. He then succeeded
in getting my walking-stick. I wrested the stick from
the prisoner, and we wrestled together, and fell over one
) f the bundles. We were both down. After we had
been on the ground some time we both got up, and I
said, will you give yourself up? He said no, I then
iaw him put his hand by his side. I collared him, we
were both standing up at this time. He made
a great many stabs. I struck him with my staff. I
thought he was stabbing me with a knife. He stabbed

twice on the chin. He afterwards took hold of my
staff. Prisoner then cut my hand. We then fell, and
I made two blows at the prisoner. I threw him on the
ground on the right side, and I tried to get the knife. I
afterwards struck the prisoner's hand with my staff, and
;Tot possession of the knife.—(The knife was here pro-
duced and presented a very formidable appearance.)—
We were both of us quite exhausted. I said to the pri
saner, " How are you?" He said, " Give me some
water." I said some one will be here directly. After•
wards two persons came up, and the prisoner was re-
moved.—(The stick with which the prisoner struck the
prosecutor was here produced. The stick was about
two feet and a half in length. To the handle were sus-
pended eight or ten large bullets, by some thick twisted
cord.)
Other evidence was produced, leaving no doubt as to
the guilt of the prisoner, and
The jury, without a moment's hesitation, returned a
verdict of Guilty.
His LORDSHIP, on sentencing the prisoner, said—l
have some doubt whether you are not a person who
should have been hanged. I have no hesitation in be-
lieving that you would have murdered the prosecutor.
Sentence—Transportation for life.
The COURT, in addressing Banning, said,—" Your
conduct has been commended by the grand jury, and
must be by everybody who has beard it. You have
shown yourself a very gallant officer ; and I hope the
reward I give you will not be all you wilt receive, and
that you will get on in your profession. Under all the
circumstances, the sum I feel warranted in awarding you
is 201."'

Louisa Ferris, 29, was indicted for the wilful murder
of Patrick White, at St. Philip and Jacob, in the city and
county of Bristol, on the Ist of November last.
Mr. Skinner and Mr. Huddleston prosecuted, and Mr.
Keating defended the prisoner.
It appeared from the evidence that the deceased
(White) was a policeman, and cohabited with the pri-
soner, who is a married woman, but was separated from
her husband. They resided at a house in Lyon-street,
Bristol, in which also lived a young woman named Eliza-
beth Jones, of whom it would seem the prisoner was
jealous, and under the influence of that passion she com-
mitted the awful crime which placed her at the dock to-
day. It seemed that on Sunday, Nov. 1, in the afternoon,
a Mr. Edwards, Mrs. Ferris's brother, with a friend
named Sainsbury, called at the house, and went into
the back parlour, where they had some bef,r and rum,
which they sent out for. White was there in his trou-
,ers, shirt, and slippers, smoking a pipe. Jones wen
up stairs and lay down on the bed. Soon after White
went out, and followed her up stairs, as it would seem.
Mrs. Ferris also left the room, and in a few minutes re-
turned in a very excited state. White then came in, and
recommenced smoking his pipe. He had no neckerchief
on. The prisoner went into the kitchen and then came
towards deceased, she put her arm round his neck, and
the witness thought she was whispering to him. Imme-
diately afterwards they heard a groaning, and on look-
ing in the direction they saw White bleeding profusely
from the neck, and the prisoner holding her hand down
by her side. She went up stairs and met Jones. She
caught hold of her and blooded her dress with her
hand, saying, "I have a great mind to serve you the
same." She then said to her brother Edwards, "Jew,
drive me to the station." He put her in his fly, which
was at the door, and did so. The unfortunate deceased
crawled into the strett_on-his hands and knees, and said
the prisoner had cut his throat. The people sent for a
doctor. White said, "Itis no use, lam dying, pray
.for
and In a few minutes he was a corpse, at on gowg
into the room they found a pool of blood, with a broken
pipe in it, and a razor on the table. These were the I
facts of the case.

The jury found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter,
and

The Judge sentenced her to be trnwported for life.
On hearing the sentence her fei.ling of maternal
anxiety seemed to overcome all other considerations, as
with clasped hands she convulsively exclaimed, " Oh, my
Lord, mercy, for the sake of my poor children—don't
banish me from them."

.N 0R TH IVALAS ClRCUlT.—Chester, April 7.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
John Duckett, 33, was indicted for stabbing his wife,
Ann Duckett, with intent to murder her, on the 2d of
January. at Middlewich.

Mr. Trafford and Mr. Egerton were counsel for the
prosecution; and Mr. Temple for the defence.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner is a
boatman, and he and his wife had lived for some
time on very unhappy terms. On the 2d of Janu-
ary last, there was a dance at the Rose and Crown,
in Middiewic), which was attended by both the
prisoner a►►d his wife, they not having previously
seen each other for nearly a fortnight. The prisoner
seeing his wife in the room, went up to a person
in the room and requested him two or three times to
lend him a knife, which was refined. The prisoner,
however, went out of the room to the shop of a Mr.
Witie, where he purchased a large pocket-knife, and then
returned. Some one called for a dance, and the prose-
cutrix got up amongst others for the purpose of dancing.
Whilst standing up speaking to the fiddler, the prisoner
went up to his wife, put his arm round her neck, and in-
flicted three stabs in her throat. Lie was immediately
apprehended in the room with the bloody knife in h►s
hand. Mr. Johnson, surgeon, of Middlewich, was called
in to see the prosecutrix the same evenieg, and he then
found that one of the stabs had penetrated the windpipe
and gullet. From this wound the air from the lungs
and a portion of the contents of the stomach were escap-
ing when seen by Mr. Johnson.
Mr. TEMPLE addressed the jury with the view of re-
ducing the offence, on the ground of the jealousy with
which it was supposed the prisoner regarded his wife's
conduct.

The jury found the prisoner guilty of the capital
offence, arid judgment of death was ordered to be re-
corded against him, the Learned Jud,..e intimating that
the least punishment he could expect was transportation
for life.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
THE MURDER IN SHOREDITCH.

(Continued froatour Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mary Jarvis, the mother of the last witness, stated
that the prisoner came to her door and opened it.
He exclaimed " Where is she—where is she?" She
added, " You know very well where she is." He then
ran down stairs, and imnp,diately after she heard the
report of a gun, and she at first thought he had shot her
daughter. When he came first she did not see the gun
in his possession. After the report he ran up stairs into
her room, took hold of her arm, and exclaimed. "I have
done it—l have done it." He repeated this to her hus-
band, who was present. Her daughter ran in and ex-
claimed, " Oh, Tom, what have you done !" He made
no reply, and fell on her neck and kissed her. A con-
stable came arid took him him into custody.
Cross-examined—When he first came he did not
appear
_gushed or excited. Her daughter slept with
her.

Joseph Brooks, a boy, the prisoner's brother, said he
lived in the same room as his brother. While he was in
bed his brother came into the room. He heard some
one run up the stairs before he came. He did not see
' what he did, as it was dark. There was a gun in the
room. His brother remained in the room two or three
minutes. There was a powder flask in his brother's
hox when he went to bed. Soon after he heard the re-
port of a gun, about a minute or two after.
Police-constable, 201 H—Was on duty near Hare-
court on the 'night in question. His attention was
called to the spot by shouts. He found the deceased on
the ground *lead, and a ramrod near him. He went up
.stairs and found the prisoner on the first floor with a gun
in his possession. He was about giving it up to some
person. The prisoner's father was there. The father
made some remark about what he had done, to which
the prisoner replied, "I have had my revenge ; he has
injured my mother and sisters, and I have been re-
venged. If I had not done it he would have killed me."
Told the prisoner that Gibart was dead, and took him
into custody. He made no resistance. Found some
bullets upon him.
Inspector Harris deposed that the prisoner stated, at
the station, " If I had not done it, perhaps they would
have murdered me. Two of them threatened to drag me
out ton minutes before."

Mr. H. Hannah, surgeon, High-street, Shoreditch
said he was called to see the deceased. He found him'
lying in the passage. He was quite dead. The wound
he had received caused instantaneous death.
This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr CLARESON then proceeded to address the jury on
behalf of the prisoner. He said, although they might
not exactly understand the difference, in the eye of the
law, between manslaughter and murder, yet it was
clearly d-fined amongst those who followed the profes-
sion of the law; and to him it clearly appeared that the
prisoner was• not guilty of murder, but of the lesser
crime of manslaughter ; for when they reviewed the
whole of the facts which had transpired in the course
of the inquiry, they could not fail to be of opinion that
the prisoner had been irritated by the deceased and
others, and that, considering that he and othersin-
tended to do him some grievous bodily harm, he felt that
he was but defending his life in what he had
done. They could not fail to be struck that this
was the actuating motive in the prisoner's mind at the
time he committed the rash act. It was most remarkable
that they had not heard until to-day of the expression
which the prisoner used with respect to his sister.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE desired Mrs. Jary s to be
called. She stated that the prisoner's sister had coha-
bited with the deceased fur about twelve months before
the occurrence. She did not know that any ill-feeling
subsisted between the prisoner and the deceased with
respect to this intimacy.

Mr. CLARKSON said it was a lamentable fact that per-
sons in the class of life of the prisoner were frequently
in the habit of living together like the deceased and the
prisoner's sister. But was it a wonder that so much
immorality existed, when houses, like that in which the
prisoner lived, were parcelled out in single rowan; to
whol: families, and that where, as in this case, the father,
and mother, and daughter, who was grown up, all
resided in one room, thet great laxity of morals prevailed.
But there was no reason to presume that the young
woman, Mary Jarvis, cohabited with the prisoner. She
herself had denied it. Let them look at the facts
adduced. The prisoner was found at his residence at
ten o'clock at night; he was called out by Eaton, be-
lieving, no doubt, that he was alone; he was induced to go
to the top of the court, where he was abused, aimed at
by the deceased, and struck on the head by him. Lis
temper was thus naturally aroused, for he had been irri-
tated, and struck, and threatened, and it was equally
natural that he should resent uch conduct by defending
himself. Maddened, and fearing that he- was in danger,
he rushsd into the house, seized his gun, and shot the
deceased. There was considerable discrepancy between
the statements of the various witnesses with respect to
the time which elapsed between the threat of the pri•
soner and the report of the gun. It was just probable that
when they said ten minutes elapsed, only three or four
might really have elapsed. Nothing was more falla-
cious than evidence with respect to brief portions of
time. It would be for them, therefore, to consider
whether the deceased and others had or had not so ir-
ritated and goaded the prisoner as to render him not the
master of his actions—whether he was or was not in
that state of mind which the law required to constitute
manslaughter. It was a most melancholy occurrence,
bu: he could not help thinking that the deceased was the
author of his own death, arid that they could not, on
their consciences, convict the prisoner of the high crime
of murder. No doubt the deceased and the other. young
men concerted together for the purpose cf goading the
prisoner, and of leading him into violence, and that
he was induced to come out in order that they might
annoy him. He was not there to justify or to excuse
the act of the prisoner. He had been guilty of a
grievous act of violence ; but, looking at the whole of
the case, he apprehended that they could not convict
him of' murder. Nothing had been adduced to show
that the prisoner loaded the gun for the purpose of
shooting the deceased. He had been shooting rats in
the cellar a short time before ; and it was
possible that he might have left the gun loaded in
his bed-room, and taken it up in a fit of despe-
ration. It was equally possible that the deceased
simply came to the door tor the purpose of frightening
the deceased and others with the gun, and that a
struggle ensued between him and the deceased for the
possession of the gun, and that the ram-rod fell out and
the gun went off and killed the deceased. The Learned
Counsel concluded by an earnest appeal to the jury on
behalf of the prisoner.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE then elaborately and carefully
summed up the evide4e, and clearly explained to the
jury the difference between murder and manslaughter.
The jury retired to consider their verdict at twenty
minutes after three.

The jury returned into court at a quarter to four with
a verdict of Manslaughter.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE sentenced the prisoner, in the
most impressive. manner, to be transported for life.
The prisoner sobbed bitterly during the passing of
the sentence, and was led away in a helpless state,
suffused with tears.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AND
SUICIDE.

FARETIA3I, HAMPSHIRE, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—
This afternoon a special session of the justices for this
division of the county of South Hants was held at the
Red Lion Inn, for the purpose of investigating a most
serious charge of attempted murder and suicide. The
particulars are as follow :
It appears that on Monday, the 22d of March last, the
inhabitants of this quiet and beautiful town were much
alarmed by a most desperate attempt at murder, and the
attempted suicide of the perpetrator, AA hich took place
in the afternoon of that day, at the residence of Mr.
William Thresher, one of the county magistrates for this
district, by his footman, Chas.Wo!fe, aged about nineteen
years, upon the person of Elizabeth Ayling, a nursery-
maid in the same family. From the statements which
have appeared it is perfectly evident that the attempt
on the unfortunate girl was made with the utmost deter-
mination on the part of the man (Wolfe), and that, in
her attempts to free herself from the grasp of the ruffian,
the poor creature was much injured by the razor the
fellow used, with which he subsequently attempted to
destroy his own life. •
Not less than ten of the local magistracy attended the
session this day; subjoinee is a list of their names and
residences: —Admiral Sir John A. Owmaney, K.C.B.
(chairman), of Warblinton House, Havant; Sir James
Stirling Bart., of Bedhampton; Captain Samuel, R.N.,
of Gosport; Captain Greene, R.N., of Wreckharn; John
Beardmore, Esq., of Uplands Lodge, near Fars-ham;
W. Page, Esq., of Breckhurst, Alverstoke• John Mar-
tin, Esq., of Wyniering; W. Forester, Esq., Fareliam;
Dr. Hillyer, of Gosport; and J. E. Atkins, Esq., of
Portsmouth.
The case. having been called on after the routine busi-
ness of the day was concluded,
Elizabeth Ayling was first examined by Mr. Badden,
the clerk to the bench—Knew well the prisoner at the
bar. (The prisoner here became so violent, through the
intensity of his feelings, that it was almost impossible
for the superintendent of the local police, Mr. Gore, to
restrain him.) Witness, in continuation, deposed that
on the 22d March last the prisoner went into her room,
and witness asked him the question. " What business
have you here ?" The prisoner then went into Mr.
James Thresher's room. Prisoner afterwards went to
the lower part of the house, and in a few minutes he re-
turned. He then said something to her which frightened
her, which, if I recollect right, was " I'll do for you."
I did not see anything in his band at that time, but, in
consequence of what he said, I was frightened, and he
came towards the door and shut himself in, and then he
struck me on the side of the head with something heavy,
but Ido not know what. The blow knocked me down.
Witness did not recollect whether the prisoner struck
her more than once upon the first occasion, but on the
second time he struck her again, when she was striving
to pass by him. The prisoner pulled out a razor, or
some sharp instrument. It was something sharp. Felt
that he cut me upon the throat more than once. About
my throat there are three wounds, and two upon my head.
While I was struggling with him he drew his razor through
my hand, and cut my fingers ; only one of my hands was
cut. I said, " Oh, you wretch!" He said, " Wretch."
After this I tried to get to the window, having got off
the floor, and on trying to get to the door he dragged me
down again by my hair, and prevented me. This was the
third time I was upon the floor. I struggled and got away
from him, and left him on the floor. I hallooed out at
the time, " Oh, murder." Upon this occasion he did not
attempt to come after me. I ran down the stairs, and
met the housemaid Sarah in the hull. My threat was
then bleeding. Her name is Sarah Unwin. I told her I
was in danger. The prisoner was not guilty of any inde-
cency towards me. After I was taken up to bed I saw a
razor in the hands of Mr. Thresher, my master. I have
been confined to the house in consequence of this occur-
rence until this day. I could not get up until Monday,
the sth instant.

The evidence as taken by the clerk was then read over
to the witness and the prisoner, but he appeared quite in
a state of torpor, and it was with considerable difficulty
that he was aroused to hear the statement.
Subsequently the prisoner, upon being asked whether
he had anything to say, replied, I believe what she has
said is true; I don't believe she will tell an untruth.
Sarah Unwin, housemaid in the service of Mr.
Thresher, stated that she knew the prisoner Charles
Wolfe. On the 22d of March I heard the last witness
come done the stairs screaming. I was in the kitchen
at the time. Elizabeth was covered with blood, which
flowed from her head and neck. I asked, in the hill,
what had happened. She said, Charles had done for her.
I then went up stairs, and observed traces of blood on
the wall. These were finger-marks. I then went into
the nursery, and then returned into the kitchen, where
I saw b10,,d on the floor from the door to the window.
The prisoner was then lying on the floor, with his back
to the door. Master told him to get up, and after some
time he did so. Wounds were inflicted on the head,
neck, and throat of Elizabeth the nursemaid.

Upon the above testimony being read to the prisoner,
and he questioned with regard to the statement, he re-
plied that he did not dispute what was said.
William Thresher, Esq., one of the magistrates for the
county of Hants. being sworn, deposed :—The prosecutrix,
Elizabeth Ayling, was in his service as nursemaid, and the
prisoner, Charles Wolfe, was his footman. Was at
home on the 22 1 of March, and heard cries of distress,
the nursery-girl crying out " Oh, oh." The_prisoner
was nine months in my service, and the nurse was in my
family two years. I saw marks of blood on the walls,
which continued all the way up stairs to the nursery. I
thought one of the children was injured at first, but,
upon going into the nursery, I saw the prisoner lying
upon the floor. There were marks of blood in the nur-
sery. I ordered the man to get up, as -he was lying on
his face ; he did, after some persuasion, and went into
his own room. I found a razor, covered with blood
(produced), which was then wet with blood. That is
the same razor. I saw the mallet (produced) in the
room ; it was a little splintered before. The handle was
split before I saw it upon that occasion. The mallet is
my property, and it is usually kept in the cellar. Wit-
ness had seen it lately in the cellar. Witness did not
observe any stains of blood upon the mallet when he
picked it up. The girl was taken up stairs before this
time. _ _ _

The prisoner said, after the testimony of Mr. Thresher
was read, that he had nothing to say
iin answer to the
evidence ; he (the prisoner) had beenli the service of
that gentleman eleven mqntbs and nine days.
The Rev. William Thresher, vicar of Titchfield, son
of the former witness, deposed that be heard from his
tither that some injury had been done to the nursemaid
by the prisoner, and upon proceeding up stairs he found
blood upon the walls. He (witness) gave the razor,
covered with blood, to Mr. Superintendent Gow, of the
flamp.hire constabulary, who had been sent for. Wit-
ness found the mallet, which he afterwards carried into a
room, and put it away, until Mr. Morse, the surgeon who
was called in at the time, gave the mallet to one. of
the police, some time after the capture of the prisoner
Wolfe.

The prisoner having declined to say anything further
;han that the charges against him were true.

The CHAIRMAN said that the opinion of the magis-
trates was unanimous, aud, therefore, they decided to
commit the prisoner, at once; for an attempt to murder
Elizsbsth Ayling.

-
The prisonerwas then handcuffed, and taken to Win-
chester gaol, to await his trial at the Lext assizes.

It is stated, in a letter from Rome, that M. Bru-
nelli has been nominated Nuncio at Madrid, and that he
will leave Rome after Easter for his destination.

THE ACTON MURDER.
CONFESSION OF CATLIERINE FOSTER.
Since her conviction and sentence, and return to gaol,
the unhappy prisoner, Catherine Foster, has displayed
less apithy than she evinced both before and during the .
trial, but has been morel by none of those vehement
' symptoms of grief and r.: worse that a sense of her dread-
ful situation would infallibly produce in a mind less able
to bear the pangs of compunction. She has, however,
hitherto maintained a mild, calm, patient demeanour, and
receives kindnesses ' from those who attend her with
marked expressions of gratitude. The constant and
assiduous attendance of the Rev. Mr. West, chaplain to
the gaol, of the Rev. Mr. Ottley, rector of Acton, and of
the Rev, C. J. P. Eyre, incumbent of St. Mary's, has
contributed greatly to remove that coldness from her
manner which attracted the observation of all spectators
during the progress of her trial. She made a full con-
fession of her guilt in writing on Thursday last, both to
Mr. M'lntyre and the Rev. Mr. Ottley, accompanying it
with an earnest request that neither of these gentlemen
would permit it to be seen by any other person until she
had, passed away. Before making her confession she im-
parted some very contradictory statements to some of the
f male prisoners, we understand, which, coming to the
ears of the authorities, she waa kindly advised not to
deceive herself by indulging in such representations, but
if she felt disposed, after addressing herself to Got, to
disburden her mind, to do so truly. She subsr quently,
we hear, took the opportunity of the governor's presence
to tell him some part of the circumstances detailed in
her written confession, and then, requesting some ink
and paper. wrote out an acknowledgment of her guilt,
and an admission of the justice of the sentence passed
upon her. We have been unable, of course, to ascertain
anything of the contents of the written paper, which is,
at present, a scaled document; but from what has tran-
spired of her verbal confession to those attending her
(and we believe our information may be so far relied
on), she abscribed her guilty conduct to being urged into
a marriage with the unfortunate victim, Foster, against
her will—that her mother urged her into the match, and
that she disliked her husband from the beginning. She
added, we understand, that her husband was moat kind
and most tender to her at all times, and had never done
or said anything that could give her uneasiness; but she
had been forced into a marriage she loathed, or words to
that effect. Ever since her confession, and her mind
has been disburdened, she has appeared easier, and is
penitent. We believe the above particulars, as far as •
they go, may be relied on; and we are satisfied to be
enabled to close this brief account by stating that, at the
present time, the unfortunate prisoner is in a good and '
proper frame of mind : grateful for religious solace, and
manifestly comforted by the readings of the rev. gentle-
men and others who attend her unremittingly. She
expresses contrition, and appears prepared for the
result.

Prayers were offered up for her at S!.. Mary's and St. -
James's Churches on Good Friday and Sunday last.
The execw ion will take place, we believe, by the order
of the High Sheriff, on Saturday week.
On reading over the above, we find we have omitted
one particular, which much anxiety has been exhibited
to ascertain, namely, as to the poison. We believe we
can state, with perfect truth, that the arsenic was pur-
chased at Sudbury by Catherine Foster herself, but of
whom it is not our province to divulge.
Thy, loose and most reprehensible manner in which
deadly p ,isons are permitted to be sold by apothecaries
to persons applying singly, and frequently too young or
too ignorant to know its fatal properties, demands im-
mediate remedy. It is not to one case of poisoning only
to which the public attention is now directed, but to
doz. ; and these will not be the last unless the law step
ii 4 and make provision for the more careful dispensing of
such dangerous articles.—Suffolk Herald.

To THE LADIES.—The high and universal cele-

active yet mild and soothing extirpator of all impurities of the
skin, is, during the period of spring, most pleasingly evinced.
This preparation, eminently balsamic, restorative, and invi-
gorating, is equally celebrated for safety in application, as for
unfailing efficacy in removing all impurities and discolora-
tions ; and imparting a healthy freshness and transparency of
the skin and complexion. Its universally great demand ex-
cites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, who give the
title of " Kalydor" to compounds of their own manufacture,
of the most deleterious character, containing mineral astrin-
gents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and, by their repel-
lent action, endanger health. It is therefore imperative on
purchasers to see that the words " Rowland's Kalydor" are on
the wrapper. All others are fraudulent counterfeits.
