DUTCH AND BELGIAN
STATES GENERAL.

MAILS.

brEPLY TO THE SPEECH FROM THE
THRONE.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 26.—1 n the sitting of the
Second Chamber of the States-General, this day, the
address in reply to the speech from the Throne,
being the order of the day, came under discussion.
The following is the proposed addresses :
" Sire,-1. The representatives of the Netherlands
nation appreciate with a profound sense of gratitude
the favOur of Divine Providence, which has permitted
your Majesty, after having recovered from a severe
illness, to appear personally in the midst of us, and
to open the present legislative Session. We heartily
pray that it may please the Almighty to prolong the
days ofyour Majesty and to preserve your health.
"2. We have learned with satisfaction that the
Netherlands continue to maintain a good understand-
ing with the other powers, and we are confident that
this good understanding will always be accompanied
by a respect for our rights and the rigorous observ-
ance of treaties.
" 3. We rejoice to learn that the public tranquillity
has not been disturbed in our ultra marine possessions.
May the new legislation which has been introduced
into the East Indies, and the new legislative arrange-
ments which have been prepared for the West Indies,
consolidate the tranquillity and augment the pros-
perity of our colonies—a prosperity which is of the
highest interest to the whole nation.
"4. The exchange of paper money of the Bank
of Surinam for specie, is an operation for which the
necessity has been acknowledged for several years,
and we anticipate the happiest results from the re-
establishment of specie in this colony.
" 5. In continuing to give just grounds for satis-
faction, the forces by sea and land respond to the ex-
pectations of the nation, which has long appreciated
their zeal in the severe accomplishment of their duty.
"6. The extention to be given to the corps of the
Marshalsea will be satisfactory to the generally-
expressed and often-repeated wish of the nation ; and
we expect the moment with pleasure when it shall
please your Majesty to judge it necessary to call
upon us to assist in putting this important affair
into execution.
" 7. We rejoice to learn that the state of public
instruction, of the arts and sciences, as well as that of
commerce, navigation, and other branches of trade, is
in general favourable.
" 8. We might have expected from the religious
sentiments of the Netherlands nation that they would
have replied to the call from the Throne to unite in a
day of thanksgiving to Divine Providence for the
blessings of an abundant harvest, after two unfavour-
able years.
" 9. We must likewise thank Providence that not-
withstanding the rise of the waters, our country has
been preserved from devastation.
" 10. We have learnt with the liveliest interest
that the financial state of the country is favourable.
We look for any overtures that may be made on the
subject in the hope that during the present session
some proposition may be made for a reduction of
a part of the debt, which will consolidate the public
credit. We shall be happy if by a change in the
system of imposts we may be able to ameliorate the
condition of the middling classes.
" 11. We rejoice to learn that your Majesty is
engaged upon the execution of public works of utility
in several parts of your kingdom. We see, with
your Majesty, that these works will give employment
to a great number of hands ; and we cannot too
greatly encourage any project which is calculated to
open new sources of subsistence to the people.
" 12. Convinced of the necessity of divers legis-
lative measures, we learn with satisfaction that va-
rious projects of law will be laid before us in the
course of the present session, and we will examine
them with the most scrupulous care.
" 13. In a preceding discourse your Majesty had
also stated that you were convinced of the necessity
of making modifications in the fundamental law, and
that you would prove this by giving a proposal to
the States-General.
" We relied implicitly upon the accomplishment of
this royal promise, and we have joyfully received the
communication that your Majeity has arrived at the
conviction that there is a necessity to modify some of
the dispositions of the fundamental law.
"We are assured that your Majesty will not fear
to introduce into our institutions those changes which
experience points out as the truest amelioration in the
administration of public businc,s.
" Full of gratitude for the communication which
has been made to us, we wait with confidence for the

proposition of all the ameliorations which may most
effectually secure the weal of the Netherlands, the
objet which your Majesty, as well as the States-
General, has constantly in view.
" Your Majesty cherishes the hope that the States-
General will be able' by means of a calm and delibe-
rate examination, to bring to a favourable issue the
important work of a revision of the fundamental law.
The States. General, Sire, will justify this hope.
" 14. We are persuaded that the Dutch nation,
united, will continue to seek for its true liberty in
the love of order, and the respect for authority, and
the law.

" 15. May the Most High bless the efforts of your
Majesty and the States-General for securing the weal
of the nation."

After a lengthened discussion on some of the para-
graphs, the debate was adjourned.—Dutch Papers,
Oct. 27.

HANIBURGH, OCT. 22.—TAE MONET CRISIS.
We are happy to be able to continue to say, that the
last failures in London have not in the least affected

us. Money is more plentiful, though not under 6 per
cent. We continue to send a great deal of gold and
specie to London. Though our arrivals of corn are
small it cannot maintain its price, and continues to
fall gradually.—Hamburgh Papers, Oct. 22.
MINDEN, OCT. 17.—Tne Cologne Railway be-
tween this city and Hanover, and which was opened
only a few days ago, was this day the scene of a sad
accident. Two trains—the one coming from Hano-
ver, and the other from Cologne—ran against each
other, before it was possible for the conductors to
stop the engines, and to avert the danger of their
being dashed to pieces ; one of the engines and several
of the carriages were crushed, and 32 of the passen-
gers were wounded, some of them most seriously ; 14
of them were carried to the inn at Minden. Judicial
proceedings have been commenced against the con-
ductor.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—GREENOCK, OCT. 27.—An
accident of a very distressing character happened to-day,
on the Greenock Railway, to Mr. Ross, the well-known
and justly appreciated superintendent of the line. A
special train was dispatched from Greenock at half-past
eleven o'clock A.M , having in it Mr. Turner, the legal
agent for the line; and Mr. Ross, as was his usual cus-
t_a_ln, accompanied the train, taking his place on the
'ugh*. When the train reached the Port Glasgow
station Mr. Ross was in the act of stepping down
from the engine upon the platform, when his foot

HYDROPFIOI3I.I.—About a fortnight ago M. Czer-
Dory, the clergy man of the parish of Kovachira, in Hun-
gary, was bitten by a little dog belonging to him, and
)
the day after the animal died mad. M. Czerner i
mediately assembled his parishioners" in the church, and
told them that his frame contained the germ of a terrible
malady which might break out at ally moment, and
which would necessarily be fatal. He accordingly took
leave of them in the most affectionate terms, and went
to the hospital of a religion, order at Ofen, to which he
was immediately admitted. Two days after he was at-
tacked with hydrophobia, snd, after twenty hours of
frightful suffering, died in ihd rnii.l.t of violent convul-
sions. All his parishioners followed his body to the
grave.
AMERICAN ICE.—The vessel Milton arrived at the
port of Liverpool from Boston, United States, has brought
as a portion of her cargo, 177 tuns weight of ice. This
is the first official notification of an arrival of ice from
the United States of America, or any part of the world,
Laying taken place since the supply of a parcel of similar
extent about four months since, which is remarkable,
considering the large and numerous arrivals of the kind
during the summer and autumn of last year.

COURT OF COMMON COUNiSIL.

MR. BROOKE, THE RAJA OF SARAWAK.
Yesterday a Court was held for the cispatch of
business.
The following announcement on the paper of busi-
ness attracted a number of ladies, who not only
crowded the galleries, but sat amongst the members :
—" It is intended at this Court to present the freedom
of this City to his Excellency James Brooke, Raja of
Sarawak, agreeably to the resolution of the 21st day
of October instant."
The Aldermen attended in their scarlet gowns, and
the Common Councilmen in their mazarine gowns.
Mr. Brooke was introduced by Sir Peter Laurie,
the mover, and Mr. Richard Taylor, the seconder of
the motion conferring upon him the freedom of the
City, and was received with very marked applause.
The CHAMBERLAIN then rose, and read the follow-
ing minutes :—" That the freedom of this City, in a
gold box of the value of 50 guineas, be presented to
his Excellency James Brooke, Raja of Sarawak, in
testimony of the admiration of this Court, of the cou-
rage, zeal, ability, discretion, and disinterestedness
displayed by him during his adventurous voyage to
the island of Borneo, and his residence there, and in
the peaceful establishment by him of order and good
government at Sarawak, in that island, thereby pro-
moting civilisation, and increasing the safety of the
commerce of the world."
" Amendment—' To substitute a piece of plate in
lieu of a gold box.'—Negatived.
" Original motion resolved unanimously."
Mr. Brooke having been sworn in as a citizen of
London with the usual forms,
The CHAMBERLAIN addressed him in the following
manner :—Sir, the time has now arrived when lam
to address to your Excellency a few works expressive
of the deep sense entertained by this Corporation of
the honour you have conferred upon them by your
acceptance of the freedom of this city, and the conse-
quent insertion of your distinguished name upon our
municipal roll. Under any circumstances, Sir, it
will be readily believed that I should hail with
feelings of no ordinary pleasure the privilege
which I now enjoy ; that pleasure is not a
little :enhanced by the fact that the interesting
transaction of this day, originating as it has done
in the admiration elicited by the contemplation of
your high character and truly patriotic conduct, may
be viewed also as the renewal of a union which, in
bygone days, existed between the family of which
you are a member and this ancient and loyal city;
for be it known to all present, and to all who may
become acquainted with the proceedings of this day,
that in the person of your Excellency are to be
found united the friend and benefactor of our species,
and the lineal representative of one who, in the reign
of the second Charles, sustained the high and im-
portant office of Lord Mayor of this our beloved
City. I trust that your Excellency and the Court,
of which I have now the honour to be the organ,
will bear with me while I respectfully crave indul-
gence for the crude and imperfect manner in which
I may discharge the duties of this day—duties
which, while they are the source of unfeigned and
unalloyed pleasure to myself, have, nevertheless,
presented difficulties of no small amount, in pre-
paration for their performance—difficulties of which
the existence would not, at first sight, be sus-
pected, but some of which will be most obvious to
the penetrating mind of your Excellency. Sir, it is
no easy thing, under any circumstances, to speak in
the presence of an individual of his acts, which admit
only of the language of unqualified praise, and which
might savour of adulation, were it not known to all
that no expressions could adequately represent the
respect entertained for him by the speaker, and by
these whose mouthpiece lie must be considered. Added
to this, I have felt the difficulties arising from a very
short period for preparation, and from the necessity
imposed upon me of suppressing all mention of many
circumstances upon which my inclination would have
led me to dilate. Sir, it has been no uncommon thing
for this Corporation to offer their grateful acknow-
ledgments, and to tender, in the freedom of this city,
the utmost expression of their gratitude within their
power to bsstow, to:illustrious men who, in the battle-
field or on the mighty waters, have sustained the
honour of the British arms, and avenged their coun-
try's wrongs. Eminent statesmen, too, and able
diplomatists, have entitled themselves to, and have
had awarded to them, similar acknowledgments and
honours ; but the circumstances under which we
are now assembled are, I believe—at all events,
they are in modern times—as unique in their
nature, as by the blessing of a gracious God
upon the labours of your Excellency, I trust they
will be beneficial in their effects. But a few short
years have rolled away since your Excellency, with
a view, if I mistake not, solely to the pursuits of
science, was induced to visit the islands of the Asiatic
archipelago. Such, Sir, were your intentions, and
they were honourable to you as an English gentle-
man who had lei,ure and other means at his command;
but He in whom our breath is, and whose are all our
ways, and who deigns, in effecting His gracious
purposes, to avail himself of human instrumentality,
had ordained you to the accomplishment of a higher,
and, I will add, a holier work—a work of which the
fruits may be expected to issue in a temporal, and, I
would fain hope, the eternal welfare of many of our
race. The attempt to describe in an address like this
the beauties and capabilities of Borneo, the island
whither you had resorted, would be utterly abortive.
You have witnessed, and those only who have done
so can app:eciate the grandeur of her mountains, the
beauties of her woods, her valleys and her rivers, her
soil mad her productions. Your Excellency, too, has
witnessed, and has felt the contrast to all these pre-
sented by the degraded state of an uncivilized
population—many of them, however, of kindly
dispositions, which, if duly cultivated, might render
them happy in themselves, and the means of pro-
moting happiness in others ; but they were destitute
of all knowledge of the God who created them, and of
the Saviour who gave his life for the redemption of
cur race. There the soil and climate presented that
which was greatly to be desired ; while of Borneo it
must be said, as to everything connected with religi-
ous truth, " Darkness covered the earth, and gross
darkness the people." Such was the state of things
when your Excellency, unaided and almost alone, and
at your own individual cost, set yourself to apply a
remedy to these monstrous evils. You felt to quote
your own words, that " Christianity might easily be
introduced amongst them; that then civilization would
advance, commerce be greatly extended, and that vast
island laid open as a field for the enterprise and know-
ledge of enlightened beings." But, Sir, I must be
brief; and I therefore hasten to observe that her
Majesty's Government have listened to the re-
presentations which you felt it your duty to make
to them, and that in the person of your Excel-
lency we have now the honour to see within these
walls the Raja of Sarawak, the accredited repre•
sentative in Borneo of our most Gracious Sovereign,
and the Governor of Labuan, a British settlement
and an island between Singapore and Hong-Kong,
commanding the capital of Borneo. We read in the
volume of inspiration that "the path of the just is as
the shining light, which shineth more and more unto
the perfect day ;" and in my conscience I believe that
what has been hitherto achieved is but the dawn of
blessings yet in store for the people of your adoption.
It would have afforded me much gratification if, with
the freedom of this city, and the memorial which I
now tender to your acceptance, I could have presen-
ted your Excellency, as is usual upon occasions like
the present, an emblazoned copy of the resolution 1
have read. The period which has elapsed since the
passing of such resolution has been too short to al-
low of the completion of that work of art, but it shall,
on the earliest possible day, be forwarded to your
Excellency. And now, Sir, permit me most respect-
fully to tender to your Excellency, as to a brother
freeman, the right hand of fellowship, and to express
an earnest hope that Borneo, under the fostering care
of her Majesty's Government and the watchful su-
perintendence of your Excellency, mays be abun-
dantly prospered, that the Scriptures may there be
freely circulated, and the truths of the everlasting
Gospel faithfully dispensed; that it may please a gra-
cious God long to spare your valuable life, and that,
ere you shall be gathered to your fathers, it may be
manifested that, both as it regards the temporal and
spiritual good of the great family of man, your Ex-
cellency has not "laboured in vain, nor spent your
strength for naught.
The Chamberlain's speech was much applauded
throughout.

Mr-. BROOKE—My Lord Mayor, Mr. Chamberlain,
and gentlemen, I am so sensible of the very high
honour which I now receive at your hands, that I find
great difficulty in adequately expressing my feelings
of pride, gratification, and surprise. Every English-
man fairly estimates the privilege of citizenship in a
free country, but to become the citizen of this the
greatest capital of the globe, is a source of just and
rational pride. This honour you have conferred upon
me.—(Clit,ers.) With reference to my ancestor, to
whom allusion has been made, I am proud here to
renew the links which have been so long broken.

of it, proceeding from a body so capable of forming a

the poorer classes will reap the benefit of their in-
dustry; that the island of Borneo and the neighbour-
ing islands will be completely open to British com-
merce; and that, by gentle means, the blessings of

civilisation and the light of the Gospel will shine in
those benighted lands.—(Loud cheers.) I trust, too,
that at a future time you will be able to say that a
citizen of London attempted to gain this object.
Again, I return you my most grateful thanks, and
assure you that if in anything I can contribute to ad-
vance the interests of this great city, my head and
heart shall be devoted to the task. My Lord Mayor
and gentleman, I shall remember this day to my dying
hour.—(Great cheering.)
Sir PETER LAURIE moved that the speech of the
Chamberlain, and the reply of Mr. Brooke, be entered
on the journals of the Court.
Mr. R. TAYLOR seconded the motion, which was
carried amidst loud cheers.
Mr. Brooke then shook the hand of fellowship with
the members of the Court, and retired amidst great
applause.

PRESENT FROM THE RING OF THE FRENCH.
The TOWN CLERK read the following letter, ad
dressed to the Lord Mayor by the French Ambassa
dor :

" Hertford House, Oct. 25, 1847.
"My Lord Mayor,—l have the honour to acknow-
ledge the receipt of your Lordship's letter of the 21st
instant, communicating to me the expression of thanks
voted to the King by the Court of Common Council.
I have lost no time in forwarding the same to his Ma-
jesty, to whom I feel assured it will afford much gra-
tification.—l have the honour to be, my Lord Mayor,
your Lordship's obedient servant,

4 V. BROGLIE.
" The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor."
The letter was ordered to be entered on the journals
The sum of 2001. was voted in aid of that excellent
institution, the Margate Infirmary.
THE LONDON ALMSHOUSES.

Deputy Allen brought up the report of the corn,
coal, and finance committee, upon the reference "to
effect a negotiation with the trustees and managers of
the London almshouses, for the transfer of the pro-
perty, and the entire management and control of the
institution, to the Corporation of London, to be con-
ducted, and the inmates to be appointed by the Court
of Common Council, in such manner as they may
think proper."
The report, to which considerable importance is
attached, says, "We referred the same to a special
committee, who have reported to us that they have
proceeded therein, and have effected a negotiation
agreeably to the terms of our said report ; and that at
a general meeting of the subscribers of the almshouses,
held in conformity with the terms of the in-
stitution, it has been resolved that the estate
and property of the almshouses shall be
conveyed to the Corporation upon the terms stated
in our report, and in pursuance of a resolution to
that effect :the committee of management have this
day passed an order directing the trustees to convey
the estate to the Corporation of London, or to such
person or persons as they may appoint to receive the
conveyance. And the special committee recommended
that, upon a proper deed, approved by counsel, being
executed by the trustees, we should be authorised to
draw upon the Chamberlain for one-half of the
amount of the creditors' claims upon the estate—viz.,
about 3001., which they have generously agreed to
accept in full satisfaction and discharge of their re-
spective demands.

" And we beg, further, to certify, that although the
trustees, and all parties having any legal or equitable
interest in the property, have, in conformity with the
recommendation of the Town-clerk Comptroller, and
City Solicitor, agreed to convey the property of the
corporation without being clogged with any condi-
tions, the special committee felt it to be their duty to
recommend that this Honourable Court should, in ac-
cordance with the recommendation contained in our
former report, approved by this Court, grant to the
inmates such moderate endowments as the Court may
think proper ; and we, your committee agree with
the special committee in the recommendations."
After some conversation, in which it was suggested,
and apparently with effect, that the word "allowances"
should be substituted for " endowments," the report
was agreed to and ordered to be printed.

GREAT CITY IMPROVEMENTS.
Deputy Allen brought in a bill for raising monies
for the purposes of improvements within the City,
under the London (City) Improvement Act,1847. The
bill is founded upon the report from the improvement
committee, and proposes to raise 300,0001. for im-
provements from Cannon-street to St. Paul's, and
200,0001. for improvements not yet determined upon.
The bill was rea4l a first time, and ordered to be read
a second time.

Mr. R. L. Jones brought up a report from the im-
provement committee, recommending the contribution
of 5001. towards the proposed improvements in Wood-
street. A communication was at the same time pre-
sented from the commissioners of sewers, agreeing to
vote 5001. in aid of the same object.
It was agreed that the commissioners of sewers
should be empowered to refer the matter to a jury, if
Messrs. Morley refused the offer of compensation
made by the court.
The court then adjourned.

LIGHTS ON THE COAST OF
SCOTLAND.
INACCURACIES IN CERTAIN CHARTS.
Northern Light-office, Edinburgh, 0ct.20,1847
Sir,—l am directed by the Commissioners of
Northern Lighthouses to state, for the information of
the committee of Lloyd's, that haring recently had
their attention directed to an error in the description
of a light on one of the published charts of the coasts
of Scotland, they have been induced to institute an
examination, so far as concerns the northern light-
houses, of the
am directed to submit to the consideration of Lloyd's
the following errors which have been noticed
TRINITY HOUSE CLIART, 1845.
L—ln a chart published by Mr. R. H. Laurie,
Fleet-street, London, dated Ist January, 1845, and
bearing to be a corrected edition of a Chart of Light-
houses and Lights, and published by order of the
Corporation of the Trinity House, the following in-
accuracies have been noticed:-
1. Little Ross Light is characterised as a " re-
volving," instead of a flashing light.
2. The important Light of Skerryvore is charac-
terised as " intermitting ' instead of "revolving" This
mistake is the more to be regretted, as the adjoining
Light of Barrahead is "intermittent," and any con-
founding of the two Lights might be productive of
serious consequences.
3. Buchanness Light is characterised as "intermit.
tent" while it should be "flashing."
4. There is a note at the top of the Chart bearing
that at Sumburghhead there is a fixed Light, but as a
stranger might suppose that the asterisk which narks
the note was intended to indicate the position of the
Light, the note should have added to it the proper
bearing and distance of the Lighthouse from Star-
point Light, or the longitude and latitude of Sum-
burghhead.

CHANDLER'S CHART, 1832.
ll.—ln Chandler's Chart of the North-east Coast,
published by Norie and Son, No. 157, Leadenhall-
street, Ist July, 1832, of Tarbetness, which should be
described as "intermittent," it is said that it " revolves
and appears like a star for 2f minutes, then disappears
for the space of half a minute, its total revolution being
three minutes."
MURDO DOWNIE'S CHART, 1836.
111.—In the Chart of the East Coast of Scotland,
,
pre-
pared by Murdo Downie, and improved by Hepburn,
published by Norie, Ist January, 1825, and corrected
to 1836, Tarbetness is shortly described as " showing
a revolving light."
These two errors are also much to be regretted, as
the light on Covesea Skerries recently exhibited by
this Board, and immediately adjoining to Tarbetness,
is a revolving light, and if mariners bound westward
were to imagine the revolving light of Covesea to be
on Tarbetness, and to take their course accordingly,
they must inevitably be stranded in Spey Bay.
In the last-mentioned Chart Buchanness is described
as " revolving" instead of "flashing."
BLACKFORD CHART. [No date.]
IV.—ln the Chart of the West Coast and Islands,
prepared and published by Blackford, 116, Minories,
Barrahead, in place of being called " intermittent," is
described as " revolving," and this being the true
character of the adjoining Light of Skerryvore, it
might lead to the same result as the error in the first-
mentioned Chart.

NORTE'S CHART, 1834.
V.—ln the Chart of Hebrides and the Lewis, pub-
lished by Norrie in 1832, and corrected in 1834 ;
Barrahead being the light adjoining Skerryvore, on
the West is again described as " revolving;" and
Rhinns of Islay, the Light adjoining Slcerryvore on
the East, is described as " revolving," instead of
" flashing ;" so that this Chart would indicate three
adjoining Lights as all possessing the same character
of "revolving."
Vl.—ln some of these Charts there are also errors,
which may perhaps be more properly called defects,
such as characterising the Bell Hock, and the Point of
Ayre, Isle of Man, merely as " revolving" without
noticing their alternate character of "bright and
red lights."

The Commissioners are not prepared to offer any
suggestion as to how these inaccuracies are now to
be remedied, but as the subject is one of vital im-
portance to the trade of the country, and as the ex-
istence of the errors has come to the knowledge of the
Commissioners, they consider that they would not be

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before the CHIEF BARON and Mr. Justice
CRESSWELL.)
George John Hewson, 45, jeweller, and Matilda
Hewson, 22, his daughter, were indicted for the wilful
murder of a male infant, born of the latter prisoner,
but not named, by suffocating it.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clarke conducted the prose-
cution for the Treasury. No counsel was retained
for the defence, but at the request of the court Mr.
Ryland consented to watch the case on behalf of the
prisoners.
It appeared from the evidence, so far as from its
nature it admits of being described, that the prisoners
occupied an apartment in Sandys-row, Spitalfields,
and were in a most abject state of poverty. For some
time prior to the 25th of September the neighbours
had observed that the girl was in the family way, and
there appeared but too much reason for believing that
this was the result of an incestuous intercourse
carried on with her father. The birth of the child,
from what could be ascertained, was conjectured to
have taken place during the night of the 25th of
September, and at an early hour the male prisoner
was heard walking about the room, and about seven
o'clock in the morning he was heard to go down
stairs, and was seen to cross the yard and go
in the direction of a privy in an adjoining
garden, where the body of the child was
afterwards discovered, and he was seen to go
twice to the same spot. Between 10 and 11 o'clock
a person named Curtain, who occupied the house to
which the privy belonged, upon going there saw the
body of a child lying on the soil, and, according to
his testimony, the infant at the time must have been
alive, for he stated positively that he saw the child
move. According to his statement, however, he had
not nerve sufficient to take the child out, but ran away
and gave an alarm, and upon some other persons going
to the place and removing the infant it was found to
be dead. It would seem that suspicion very soon
fixed itself upon the prisoners, and a police constable
proceeded to the room occupied by them to make in-
quiries. The girl at first denied that she had been
delivered, but she at length admitted it was the case ;
and upon one of the witnesses saying that she hoped
her father knew nothing of it, she replied that he did
not. She was afterwards taken to the infirmary at
the workhouse, and, on the way there, she asked the
constable what had become of her father, and, on his
telling her that he was locked up, she inquired what
it was for. He told her that he was charged
with endeavouring to conceal the birth of the
child of which she had been delivered ; to
which she replied that it was false, for he knew
nothing about it, and was not at home when she
was delivered, and that she herself had taken the child
and thrown it down the privy. She afterwards made
other contrary statements ; and upon one occasion
_she told a witness that it had all happened through
the cruelty of her father. Mr. Meares, the surgeon,
who was called upon to examine the body of the de-
ceased child, stated his opinion to be that the child
was born alive; and he gave, as reasons for coming to
that conclusion, that it was full-grown, and its lungs
had been fully inflated, and one or two other circum-
stances that may not be further alluded to. He ad-
mitted, however, in answer to questions put to him
by the Learned Judge and by Mr. Ryland, that the
appearances he described were not inconsistent with
the supposition that only a partial living birth had
taken place.
Mr. Justice CRESSWELL having summed up, the
jury retired. After about twenty minutes' delibera-
tion they returned a verdict finding the male prisoner
Not Guilty, and convicting the girl of concealing the
birth. The jury, at the same time, expressed their
regret that they could not, as explained to them by
the Learned Judge, include the male prisoner in their
verdict for concealing the birth.
Directions were given that a specific indictment
should be preferred against him for that offence.

POLICE, INTELLIGENCE.
SIO N- HOUSE.
A poor little German boy named Glotz, was
brought before the Lord Mayor. He was the picture
of melancholy.
The Rev. Dr. Louis Cappel, minister of the Ger
man Church, stated that the unfortunate child was
not brought before his Lordship as a prisoner, but as
a suppliant for justice. He was one of the victims of
the cruel traders in unprotected foreign children with
whom the metropolis abounded. It was at the re-
quest of the Society of the Friends of Foreigners in
Distress that application was made on the part of the
boy, for the purpose of compiling if possible, one
Corrand Henser, who had induced him to come
to England as a street-organ player, to supply the
means of sending him back to Germany. It was
the practice of persons who, like Henser obtained
a good livelihood by that sort of slave-trade, to
prevail upon parents at certain seasons to dispose of
their children for musical employment in England,
upon the receipt of some trine of money and
.the
promise of good bed and board and wages : _and
the result was, that multitudes of these young
creatures were itr a very iltort, titTne ruinectin health
and morals, and treated with the utmost -cruelty']
indignity.ll the present ease Henser had engaged
Glotz for eighf4n months for the sum of 6/. and the
promise of comfortable support, and had, at the same
time, brought over with him nine other boys. At
first the boys-were treated with kindness, but upon
being taken down to Yorkshire to work at the music,
they were beaten, and kioked, and starved, and aban-
doned by. Henser, who enjoyed the independence they
provided for him at home in smoking and drinking.
Glotz had-been turned off without receiving a shilling
of the pay due to hiexcept an old coat which he had bought
m,:and had scarcely any covering
three pence. The public would be asto-
fnuniprsohtnewdhoiamot;the numerous instances of this species of
cruelty which weekly occurred, notwithstanding the
detestation in which the diabolical traffie was held by
the people of the metropolis, and it would he a source
of high gratification to the friends of humanity if
some means could be devised by which such a delin-
quent as had been described could be made amenable.
The Rev. Mr. Carlson, chaplain to the Swedish
and Norwegian Embassy, stated that about three
years ago he had been directed to lay the case of a
little girl, who had been kidnapped, before the City
authorities, to ascertain whether it was in their power
to interfere for her protection. The clothes of the
girl had been detained, and the defendant showed a
determination to resist the appeal to his humanity by
employing an able counsel. Sir Peter Laurie, how-
ever, who presided upon the occasion, neutralized the
arguments of the gentleman of the bar, and caused
restitution to be made.
The LORD MAYOR—I am perfectly aware, from
my personal observations, of the cruelties inflicted
upon for in my rambles through
the metropolis
numbers of them sitting
on the stepsexhausted and asleep, after
these
poor
ofo orlh achihla-vliddeor hall-doors,
rnesn
their severe labours. I have seen, too, after some
little time a great change take place in the appear-
ance of the sufferers, who, from the hardships and ill-
treatment to which they have been exposed, have
totally lost the appearance of health with which they
first entered the metropolis. I fear, however, that at
any rate in this particular case my interference cannot
be of avail. The only remedy here appears to be by
a civil action, and the County Court may in such a
case be turned to good advantage.
The Rev. Mr. Carlson asked whether Henser, who
pocketed all the money the poor boy had earned by
perpetual labour in the streets, could not be prose-
cuted for having obtained money under false pre-
tences ? It was well known that people in giving
money to the children meant the money for them, and
not for the fellows who sent them out, and who in fact
appropriated to their own uses every farthing.
The LORD Maloa said, the pretence in cases like
the present was future and not an existing pretence.
I think that when the public learn that the little
musicians never receive anything but blows and other
harsh treatment from their masters, very few six-
pences will be given to them. It may be said that
the refusal of charity in such cases involved the com-
plete destitution of these objects; but the cvil would
work its own remedy, by rousing the parochial autho-
rities, upon whom their support would fall.
Dr. Cappel said he had known instances in which
children employed in the manner described had died
on the med.:
The LORD MAYOR—I shall be most happy to ren-
der any assistance as chief magistrate. Perhaps an
indictment for having brought over children to this
country for the purpose of burdening parishes with
them may be resorted to. I shall leave it to you to
consider of the :best mode of proceeding to check
such outrages upon humanity, and shall most wil-
ling attend to any representation upon a future oc-
casion.
The LORD MAYOR requested that the press would
notice that he had received 1/. 15. from " J. D. M."
and one sovereign " found" 21st inst.

GUILDHALL.
John Burgess, a stout middle, aged man, who
stated that he had recently kept a public-house at
Liverpool, was brought before Mr. Alderman Sidney,
on suspicion of having stolen 150/. in Bank of Eng.
land notes.

Mr. Spellman, a money-changer in Lombard-
street, stated, that on the preceding afternoon a
person not in custody asked him for cash for some
American notes. Ile exchanged them for gold, and
shortly afterwards another person, who is not in cus-
tody, came in company with the prisoner to know
what sum had been paid for the American notes, from
which the witness inferred that there bad been a dis-
pute whether the first man bad truly brought back
the amount he actually received. Witness told them
what he had given, and the prisoner inquired if he
could take a few more notes. Witness stated that he
could ; the parties went away, and the prisoner came
alone that day with 142 dollar notes and four Cis.
notes. In the interim witness had received a letter i
from a money-changer at Liverpool, informing him

that some person had got rid of some stolen Bank of
England notes by making a purchase of American
notes of the description offered by the prisoner. Upon
this he deemed it his duty to give the prisoner into
custody, and Isaacs, the officer, found an American
note in the prisoner's possession.
Mr. Alderman SIDNEY invited the prisoner to ex-
plain how he came by these American notes.
The prisoner said he had been out of business for a
fortnight, and on Wednesday a stranger accosted him
in Lord-street, Liverpool, and asked him where he
could sell some American notes. Prisoner told him
of a money-changer, named Andrew, in the Water-
loo-road. He said Mr. Andrew would not take
them, but he knew a Captain Broadwater in London,
who could get them changed there, and if prisoner
liked to take a trip with him, he would pay all the
expenses. Having nothing to do, he accepted the
offer, and came up with the person, whose name was
George Watson. They found the captain, who got
the first lot of notes changed, and prisoner went with
the second lot.

Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said, it was the prisoner's
misfortune to be in possession of notes which had
been obtained from a money changer with stolen
notes. Some other parties were in some degree con-
nected with the changing of the notes, and it was
desirable that they should be found, to see if they
could clear up the matter, or whether it would be
necessary to investigate the whole affair at Liverpool.
The prisoner said he was quite willing to go at
once with the officers to Liverpool.
Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said, it would be more con
venient first to hear whether the captain or Mr.
Watson could satisfactorily clear the matter up. The
prisoner was remanded till Tuesday.

THE BIRMINGHAM MURDERS.
INQUEST UPON ANN WILKES.
BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY NIGHT.—This evening an
nquest was held at the Calthorpe Arms, Holloway-
road, before Dr. Birt Davies, Borough Coroner, upon
the body of Ann Wilkes, the woman committed for
the murder of her four children, and who died in the
Queen's Hospital on Thursday morning.
The evidence relating to the murder of the four
children was the same as that given at the former in-
quest. That produced to-night referred entirely to
the self-murder of the woman, and the state of mind
she was supposed to be in when she committed the act.
Mr. Edwards proved, as on the former occasion, the
position of the children and the woman when he en-
tered the attic, and that two razors were close by her
side. The woman's throat was cut, but she was living
at the time. When bandages were applied, she at-
tempted to tear them off, and she was removed to
the hospital. It struck him that by the motion of
her hands she felt sensible of and was sorry for
what she had done. She never spoke at all. De-
ceased used to come into his shop almost every day
for potatoes and the like. He never saw anything
odd or strange in her manner. Never saw anything
uncommon in the state of her mind, except that on
the Thursday previous to the murder she came into
the shop to get change for a sovereign. She appeared
to be in trouble, and his wife asked her what was the
cause ? Deceased said she was very badly off, and
had been unlucky ever since her husband had died.
She added that she had been to the relieving officer,
and that he had shut the door upon her, and sneered
at her. She appeared to be in a sound state of mind,
at least to him, in the same state he had always seen
her before.
Eliz ibeth Hemming, who lived nearly opposite the
house of the deceased, deposed that she saw her about
ten o'clock on the night before the murder, and
nothing particular struck her as to her manner. She
appeared to he in her usual spirits.
Mr. H. F. Whitten, resident medical officer at the
Queen's Hospital, deposed that deceased was admitted
into the hospital at five minutes to one on Saturday
last. She had three incised wounds on the neck, and
coagulated blood in and around the edges.
The evidence of the witness, with regard to the
nature and extent of the wounds, was the same`as that
given by Mr. Cox at the former inquest. The de-
ceased was the patient of Mr. Langston Parker, who
was immediately sent for. Her extremities were cold,
and she was in a state of much collapse. Warmth
was applied, and the wounds being dressed, she im-
proved for a little time ; bad symptoms afterwards
set in, and she died about a quarter to one on Thurs-
day morning. Had had conversation with her most
days, although he avoided speaking to her, unless she
spoke to him. On the first day she spoke to him, and
she appeared to answer questions in the same way as
all other patients. She was conscious and rational.
She requested to see a clergyman. On the Sunday
she requested to have her hands loosened. Some per-
sons, she said, had represented that she wanted to tear
the bandages off, but it was not true that she had
attempted to do so at her own house. He (witness)
released her on Sunday afternoon, and she never
attempted to injure herself. At her request the
assistance of the rector of St. Martin's was ob-
tained. In the course of Monday afternoon she told
him she hoped it would please God that she should
not get well, as she should have a great deal to
go through, and if she did get well, she hoped the
getlemen of the hospital would do all they could for
her, as she had been in great trouble since the death
of her husband. She at another time said she had
been to the board of guardians, and had been pushed
abruptly from the door. She did not say who by,
but was told to wait her turn in the yard. In the
course of Sunday, after dozing a little, she wandered,
and asked where she was, and she appeared satisfied.
Never noticed any distinct delusion. Only heard
deceased allude to her children once. Upon her
mother coming to see her, she said, " Have you seen
my children ?" Could not understand with what in-
tent the inquiry was made.
Mr. Langston Parker, professor of anatomy, and
surgeon to the Queen's Hospital, corroborated the
statement of the last witness. He saw the deceased
from day to day. She died unquestionably from the
wounds in the neck. She answered all questions
rationally up to the time he last saw her. Did not
witness any kind of mental disorder.
The Rev. J. C. Miller was then sworn, and deposed
as follows :—I had conversation with the deceased
(as a clergyman) more than once. In these conver-
sations she said nothing as to the cause of her own
death. On Monday morning, between three and four
o'clock, I saw her. She did not tell me what she had
done to herself, nor did she complain of any one else
having inflicted the wounds upon her throat. She
expressed a hope that time would be allowed her for
repentance, or words to that effect. She clearly con-
fessed to witness the murder of the four children, but
the means were not alluded to. She stated that it was
in consequence of her straitened circumstances. He
asked her if they were in want of bread ? She said
" No; they were not so bad off as that." She did
not impute blame to any person. She spoke of having

conversations I had with her nothing whatever oc.
cursed which would indicate the slightest unsound.
ness of mind.
This was the last witness called.
The Coroner summed up, but the verdict was not
returned when the parcel was made up.
A slanderous statement has appeared in some of the
London papers, to the effect that the wretched woman
was not married to her deceased husband Wilkes, and,
worse than all, that she was instrumental in the death
by poison of her husband. -Whatever truth there
may be in the first allegation, there is not the slightest
foundation for the latter. At the time of his death a
post mortem examination of the body took place at her
own request, and death was ascertained to have been
caused by purely natural causes.

THE SUICIDE IN ST. PAUL'S

CATHEDRAL.
Last evening, at seven o'clock, Mr. William Payne,
;he City Coroner, held an inquest, in St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital, on the body of Mr. William Davison,
aged 60, who committed suicide by throwing himself
out of the whispering gallery of St. Paul's Cathedral,
some particulars of which appeared in our paper of
yesterday.
James Richardson, one of the guides of the Cathe-
dral, was the first witness examined, who merely
proved to having conducted thedeceased to the western
gallery, the model and trophy room, and one or two
other parts of the edifice. He left him on the stairs
leading to the whispering gallery, and shortly after-
wards witness saw him lying on the pavement quite
dead. When in the western gallery he placed his
head in his hand, and, leaning on the rail, asked if he
knew the depth to the bottom.
William Thompson said that he was the keeper of
the whispering gallery. On Thursday afternoon,
about one hour after he had entered the gallery, his 1
attention was directed by hearing a hat fall. On
looking round he saw deceased hanging from the out-
side of the railings. He immediately called out, but
he fell almost instantaneously.
Mr. William Lawrence, son-in-law of the de-
ceased, said that the deceased left home yesterday
(Thursday) to keep an appointment, which he, how-
ever, did not do. He had seen the deceased twice a
week for some time past. Of late he had been very
low and desponding. The indefinite delay of a
Chancery suit, in which he had several thousand
pounds at stake, completely prostrated his mind.
Mr. Brodribb, surgeon, said that he had known the
deceased about twelve months. He saw him on Wed-
nesday evening sitting at the fireside with his family.
fie then complained of his spirits being low, and that
he could not sleep of a night. He also spoke about
losing his appetite.
The house-surgeon described the nature of the in-
juries deceased had received, which were the cause of
death.

Other evidence, proving that the mind of the un-
fortunate deceased had become impaired, the jury,
without hesitation, returned a verdict of " Temporary
insanity."
