talion, at that station, Captain Markland's company,

to return to Woolwich; but the subsequent unsettled
state of that country has caused the order to be coun-
termanded, and the company will remain in Ireland for
the present.

stances. Mr. Richard Vine stated that he was formerly
acv} enemistdisl; but now resided at No. 1, Cavendish-house,
C-road. On Tuesday evening last, his wife called
his !attention to some appearances-on the floor which were
like blood. lie called to Mr. Neal, the landlord, and
asked Jane Stevens, who was in his (witness's) service,
it' she knew what they wore, but she denied all know-

_
ledge of them. She appeared pale, but was standing up,
and he asked her if she had been delivered of a child,
and she said she had not. lie afterwards saw fresh
marks on a pail, and in another the body of a
male child, but Stevens, who was there, said
nothing about it. Mr. Jones, a surgeon, was then
sent for. His wife had asked her a week before if
she was in the family way, but she positively said " No."
Mr. J. Jones, of 1, Seymour-place, Wandsworth-road,
surgeon, said ho was called in on Tuesday morning, and
examined both the mother and the child, but the child
was quite dead. He had no doubt the mother had re-
cently been delivered of a child, and at last she admitted
the one found was hers. Soon afterwards he made a
closer examination of the body of the infant, and found
marks ef violence on the chin, and along the right cheek,
which had apparently been inflicted with some sharp in-
strument, but they were superficial, sad had nothing to
do with the death. Upon opening the body the lungs
were fully inflated, and floated in water, so that he had
no doubt the child bad respired. In answer to questions
put by the Coroner, Mr. Jones said he could not tell
positively whether the respiration had taken place after
birth. The jury then, after some deliberation, returned
a verdict, "That the child was found dead, but the jury
had no positive evidence to show that it was born alive."
The mother was in custody, and will now be taken
before the magistrates on the charge of concealment of
the birth.
MR. F. O'CONNOR IN NOTTINGIIAM.—NOTTING-
HAN, MONDAY.—This afternoon a large meeting was
held in the market-place of this town, called for the pur-
pose of hearing from Mr. O'Connor an account of his
stewardship during the late session, and for the purpose
of ‘• re-electing hills as their representative." Mr. San-
ders having been called to the chair, Mr. O'Connor pre-
sented himself, and was loudly cheered. He was there
to-day to discharge a most sacred duty namely, at the
close of the session to surrender his trust into the hands
of the electors and non-electors; and, after giving an ac-
count of his stewardship, to ask a
renewal
con-
fidence. Thus, he carried into effect the
of their
mainsuffrage.point t
the Charter—annual Parliaments and universal
It was almost beyond the power of man to describe the
iniquity transacted during the late session. Whilst tho
six points of the Charter had been repudiated, five gag-
ging Bills had been passed, every one of which he had
opposed in every stage, and almost alone. Those Bills
had been passed chiefly to catch him (Mr. O'Connor);
but the
" old fox" was not caught yet. At the time those
Bills were under discussion, he said that the suppression
of public meetings would have the effect of creating
secret associations; and such had been the case.—(llear,
hear.) He urged his hearers, however, not to attend
any i)f those secret meetings, as they would thus be sure
to place themselves in the power of informers. After a
rather long address, Mr. O'Connor stood back loudly.
applauded. On the motion of Mr. Sweet, a vote of con-
fidence was then taken, and Mr. O'Connor was re-elected
by a large majority. The proceedings terminated at
four o'clock.
The Countess (Dowager) of Westmoreland has
arrived at Leamington Spa.
