"8. Because this unprecedented and mischievous proceed—
ing appears to me the more uncalled for, even in the view of
its supporters, as there is now before the House a Bill which
will enable the persons to whom these resolutions apply to
effect the same object directly for themselves, and there is 11°1
reason to anticipate that it will not pass into a law."

FINAL TRIAL OF MARY LE °ENDRE FOR THE MURDER O
_ __ _

MR. GEORGE LE CRONIER. -
'Before Sir John De Veulle, Bailiff, and Judges Eissolil
Bertram, Le Couteur, Picot, Pelgue, Le Gallais, and
Arthur.)

The court was densely crowded. The accused, when
placed at the bar, displayed unusual composure.
Evidence having been adduced before the petty jury on
the day previous, the prisoner was found guilty, and having
claimed the benefit of trial by the grand jury, was finally
found guilty of " voluntary homicide."
The BAILIFF then proceeded, in a tone of much solemnity
and deep feeling, to address the wretched woman at the
bar.

"Mary Le Noble," said the Bailiff, "you have been de-
clared by the grand jury guilty of voluntary homicide upon
the person of the late Mr. George le Cronier, one of the Cell-
teniers of the parish, of St. Helier, and it is my duty to an-
nounce to you that, conformably to the conclusions' of the
public prosecutor, you are condemned to transportation for
the term of your natural life, to such place as it may please
her Most Excellent Majesty in Council to direct, and that all
your worldly goods (if you possess any) are declared confis-
cated to the Queen, or to the respective lord of the manor.'
The prisoner, apparently unmoved, was then conducted to
the vehicle which awaited her outside the Court, and thence
to the gaol, amid the hootings and execrations of the crowds
which everywhere thronged the streets through which she
had to pass.

A DESERTED VESSEL PICKED UP AT SEA.—On
Monday, two fishermen from Eastbourne, while out in their boat in,
the channel, discovered about twenty miles from land a vessel of
between 300 and 400 tons burden, and from her drifting about it was
evident there was no one on board to manage her. They went on and found her entirely deserted. She was laden and apps'
rently homeward-bound. On the return of the fisherman to East-
bourne, they gave information to Lloyd's agent, who came to
Brighton, and with Mr. Black, our indefatigable and intelligent
packet agent, proceeded to Shoreham, when the Magnet steam
was dispatched at half-past one yesterday morning on a voyage 0t:

Whereas an humble address has been presented to us by the

Earl of Dalhousie, John Johnson, John Charles Herries, and

COPY OF THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE
COMMISSIONERS.
To the Commissioners for Inquiring into the various Railway
Projects of which the Termini are proposed to be estab-
lished in or near the Metropolis.
Whitehall, April 8, 1846.
My Lords and Gentlemen,—Her Majesty having been
pleased to appoint you commissioners for the purpose of in-
vestigating and reporting upon the various railway projects,
the proposed termini of which, according to the schemes now
before Parliament, would be situate within or in the imme-
diate vicinity of the metropolis, I am commanded to signify
to you her Majesty's further pleasure, that you direct your
attention to such portions of the several projects or Bills novr
before Parliament, for railways within the limits hereinafter
described.

It will be your especial duty to consider whether the ex-
tension of railways into the centre of the metropolis is cal-
culated to afford such additional convenience or benefit to
the public as will compensate for the sacrifice of property, the/
interruption of important thoroughfares, and the interference
with plans of improvement already suggested, which may'
probably result from such extension.
The limits to which the attention of the commission should
be confined may be thus specified, viz. :—The Edgware-road.
from Oxford-street to the intersection of the New-road ; the
New-road and City-road to Finsbury-square ; Bishopsgate-
street ; London-bridge; High-street, Borough; Blackman-
street ; Borough-road ; Lambeth-road ; Vauxhall-road ;
Vauxhall-bridge ; Vauxhall-bridge-road, Grosvenor-place,
and Park-lane.—I have, &c.,
(Signed) J. R. G. GRAHAM.

RAILWAY LEGISLATION:
The following protest against the new sessional orders has
been entered by Lord Radnor upon the journals of the House
of Lords:—

"1. Because I think it is umeemly, impolitic, and of bad
example, that the House should, to meet the supposed emer-
gency of a particular case, alter by ex-post-facto resolutions
its own established regulations, and thus enable certain par-
ties to violate engagements which others had entered into
with them on the faith of those regulations.
"2. Because such a proceeding impairs (if it does not
totally destroy) the confidence winch should be reposed on:
the regulations of this House.
"3. Because the real purport and ultimate effect of these
resolutions are not to bring about any public or national ob'
ject, connected with the construction of the proposed rail-
ways, but gratuitously to relieve parties (whether companies
or private individuals) from engagements which they have
wantonly and heedlessly contracted.
" 4. Because if it were expedient to put an end to these
engagements, the responsibility and onus of taking the neces°
sary steps for that purpose should be left to the parties them-
selves, and not be undertaken by the House.
" 5. Because the House thus goes out of its way to inter-
pose in, and intermeddle with, the affairs of private parties.
" 6. Because, in truth, the parties intended thus to be re-
lieved have in many cases incurred their responsibilities
without any view to the public good, but merely in the spirit
of reckless gambling, for their own private gain, and have,
therefore, no claim to so unusual an interposition on their
behalf.
" 7. Because the House thus holds out an expectation
that on future similar occasions it may be induced to afford
similar relief; and thus, if it does not directly encourage
such a spirit, it does not discourage it, or throw such
stigma on it as according to every principle of sound policy'
and good morals it is bound to do.
