TO THE GOVEINORS OF THE
FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM, LAMBETH.
My Lords, Ladies, and Gettlemen,
The favour of your VOTE and ENTEREST is most earnestly and
respectfully solicited in behalf of
' MARL& SNELL, No. 32 on the List.
The DAY of ELECTION Is SIONDAY, December 8, 1851.
Proxies thankfully received bypost by Messrs. Millar and Field,
Stationers, and Mr. W. Woottoi, Stationer, Westminster Bridge-
road.

But applying himself to one of the last remarks of
the Bishop of London, he might observe that the ori-
L ginal recommendations made to the Government was
that a special board should be appointed for this
matter of interments, and it was only with a view
to save expense and not necessary patronage that this
duty was placed in the hands of the Board of Health.
The Board of Healih was a board constituted exactly
in the way which the Bishop of London objected
to ; for the main business of the Board of Health, for
which it was instituted, was to procure an arrange-
ment for the supply of water and sweeping of streets,
and matters relating to sewerage and cleansing in
the various towns of the country; the subject of
intramural interment was only an additional duty
placed upon that board, which did not properly belong
to it, but which it was thought it might execute with
a saving of expense. The difficulties which had occurred
were very much difficulties of detail ; and questions of
this kind, where all might agree upon the principle,
depended very much upon the details. The Bishop of
London ;had said, and it might seem very desirable,
that the Government should take this question upon
itself; but, then, there occurred matters which one
could not look at as belonging to a Government with-
out considerable apprehension. A Government that
took upon itself a question of this kind was between two
difficulties; either it incurred a great loss, and was
obliged to come to Parliament to supply means for ex-
tramural interment for the metropolis ; to which the
country might very well reply, " Why, London is the
richest part of the whole kingdom, and it is very odd
that all the rest of the country is to be taxed for London
interments." But it might be said that this might be
entirely avoided by making the regulations the Board
of Health thought necessary. They:had:gone into great
detail, and it was said their scheme was a very good
one. But he found that when they tried to follow it
out, so as to make it practically work, they could
come to no other conclusion than that the body in-
trusted with interment should entirely take it upon
itself, and in so doing they would restrict persons
going beyond a certain limit, and having a cemetery
near Woking Common, for instance ; they would
prohibit that, or making the charge for the right of
interment so high that it should not be able to be done;
they would impose fines or fees upon'all persons remov-
ing bodies out of the district ; and they would inter-
fere with those feelings which the Bishop of London
so properly spoke of as sacred with regard to the
respect which families wished to pay to the dead body
of a relation ; they would interfere with the liberty
of action in that respect. Now, either of these
things—either coming to Parliament to provide by a
tax upon the whole country for extramural
interment for London, or proposing that the
Government should have in its hands the
power of interfering with every family in this
metropolis, and that no burial should:take place with-
out en officer of the Government restricting or direct-
ing the mode in which it should be done—would, in
the first place, rouse great public feeling against it ;
and if a Government did it, there would be no week
in which the Home Secretary, or whoever was at the
head of it, would not be called upon to account for
such a person's body being left too long, or why
another had been removed in an unbecoming way,
and so on. Government had a great deal to do, and
undertaking to be answerable for the removal and
burial of every dead body in a population of 2,000,000
was really a serious matter. With regard to the
cemeteries, he believed thoso which they had engaged '
to buy, in order to meet any great calamity or pes-
tilence that might befal us, were calculated to inter

METROPOLITAN INTERYIENTS.
Yesterday a deputation From the Metropolitan Sa-
nitary Association had an interview with Lord John
Russell at the Treasury, tc resent a memorial "call-
ing his Lordship's attentioat to the continuance of in-
terment within the metropolis, notwithstanding the
existence, for more than fifteen months, of an Act
of Parliament 'passed by unusually large majorities,
by which her Majesty's Government were empowered
to remedy the evils,
and guard against the dangers,
proved to attend the burial of the dead among the
living."
The deputation comprised the Bishop of London,
the Rev. C. Hume, the Rey. Rhys Jones, Mr. C. J.
F. Lord, Mr. T. Abraham, Mr. G. Godwin, F.R.S.,
Mr. Lusignan, Mr. A. Barnet, and Mr. Walsh. As
the memorial was of some length, they thought it
desirable not to trespass upon the time of the First
Lord.of the Treasury by reading it in his presence,
but to request the Bishop of London, in presenting
it, to state generally the object in view.
On the deputation being introduced, they found the
Chancellor of the Exchequer with Lord J. Russell.
The Bishop of LONDON proceeded to explain that
the gentlemen present were a deputation from the
Metropolitan Sanitary Association, attending to pre-
sent a memorial relating to intramural interments.
They thought themselves entitled to take this liberty
because the association had exerted themselves for

these two or three years with a view of removing
obstacles to sanitary improvements in the metropolis,
and particularly with regard to intramural interments,
upon which, as they conceived, they had furnishdd
useful evidence and to a certain extent enlightened
the public mind, and contributed to remove prejudices
likely to interfere with the application of an effectual
remedy. A Bill had been prepared by the General
Board of Health, with, it was understood, the con-
currence of the Government, and that Bill received
the sanction of Parliament in the session before last ;
but though it had been in force as a statute for about
fifteen months nothing whatever had resulted from it.
It appeared that the Board of Health had not the
powers requisite to carry into effect the purposes for
which they were constituted. Very late in the day
difficulties had arisen and obstacles had been interposed
in quarters where cordial support and encouragement
might have been expected. The Board bad pro-
ceeded so far as to enter into a preliminary agreement,
with the sanction of the Lords of the Treasury, with
two of the existing cemetery companies for the pur-
chase of their cemeteries. He believed the matter
had gone no further, and no actual purchase had
taken place, but this had thrown great doubt and
difficulty upon the whole question. Parishes did not
known what to do. Several of the burial grounds had
been closed, and others ought to be ; but no parish
would at present venture to purchase additional burial
grounds because they expected all such grounds to be
closed by authority. To mention a case :—ln Ken-
sington the existing burial ground was so full that
after the lapse of a few months it would be absolutely
impossible to inter more bodies, and the parish would
be ready to purchase more ground ; but it was felt
to be imprudent to do so in the face of the decision of
Parliament that interment within the metropolis
should be discontinued; yet the Act which contem-
plated a place of sepulture beyond the precincts of
the town remained unexecuted, and the consequence
would be, that the parishioners would soon have no
place of burial, unless they dealt with the trading
companies. The case of Lambeth was similar, or still
more serious. To be thus driven to the cemetery
companies might not, in the case of the rich, be so
much to be complained of, but it was extremely
hard upon the poor, to whom the expense of the
decent interment of their dead was a very serious
matter ; and one great advantage of the plan pro-
posed by the Board of Health, and, iis had
been supposed, sanctioned by the Government
and by Parliament, was, that the poor would
be able to bury their relatives decently and with proper
solemnity at an expense not much exceeding one-
third of what was now paid for that burial which
could not be called duly solemn or oven deceni',. It
would appear that towards the conclusion of lase; ses-
sion the Chancellor of the Exchequer threw a certain
amount of discouragement—to use a popular p brace,
" threw cold water"—upon the plan, and led the Board
of Health to fear that they should not be able to carry
it out ; and it was intimated that another six sasure
would be brought forward more in accordance with
the views of those who had always opposed this great
sanitary measure. The object of the present tie puta-
tion was was to urge upon the Government th e im-
portance of coming to a decision as to what should
be done, and finally settling the question in some
way or other. His own opinion was that it could
never be effectually dealt with except by' the
Government, and that a board not acting wit 'a the
authority of the Government, and responsible to the
Government, could never carry into effect the com-
plicated and delicate measures necessary. There
were feelings to be considered and tenderly dealt
with that wore among the best and holiest in our
nature; and no persons who were not en-
tirely above all private and selfish consider, itions,
no trading companies or parish authorities cou Id ac-
complish the object satisfactorily. He must say, too,
that he thought it was the duty of the Government to
settle this question permanently. He hoped he should
be excused if he mentioned a rumour which was
abroad, that it was the intention of the Gayer ament
to constitute a new board for carrying into eft( tot the
object of extramural interment, such board to have
also the control of the sewerage and water sup ply of
the metropolis. Surely these were matters which
ought to be kept distinct and separate from one
another. It was difficult to conceive anything more
calculated to offend the people—he had been going to
say to disgust them—to wound some of their best
feelings, than placing under one body the inteement
of the dead and the sweeping of the streets and cleans-
ing the sewers, to say nothing of the subject of water
supply. He hoped the rumour was not true, and
that the interment of the dead—probably in itself
nearly, if not quite, sufficient to occupy the whale at-
tention of a board—would be placed under men. who
would deal with it with the seriousness and con sider-
ation which its importance required. For himself he
must say, too, he should be grieved to see the conduct
of it taken out of the hands of gentlemen so
highly qualified to manage it as the members of
the Board of Health. He would only add that it
might be remembered that there had been a com-
pany in process of formation—he did not know what
had become of it—for the purpose of establishing a
very large cemetery forty miles from London, be-
yond the operation and authority of the General
Board of Health. If new burial-grounds were not
immediately found, the people of London must have
recourse to such a cemetery and convey the corpses
of their friends to Woking or some such place, where

The additions to various Policies are shown in the following
examples :

about 6,000 in a
,year; it was stated that the whole

mortality of Londoa amounted to 58,000 or 00,000,
and therefore they would evidently not supply the
means of burial for the whole, and it would be ne-
cessary to go much further and buy all the cemeteries.
It was asked why was not something immediately
done ? He would say the Government bad not the
power to do it. The Board of Health had supposed
they should be able to procure money immediately
to purchase the whole of the cemeteries ; they found
themselves mistaken in that, and that it could only
be done by applying to the credit of the Government.
No power had been taken to purchase more than the
two cemeteries, and it would require an Act of Par-
liament to enable more ;to be procured. He would
now ask Sir C. Wood to state the way in which the
question stood at present.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed
that it had been said be " threw cold water" upon
the plan. Now, certainly the subject came to him
new, and he had been obliged last session (in conse-
quence of Sir G. Grey's absence) to attend to it, not
having attended to it when the Act passed in the pre-
vious session. In the beginning of the year he be-
lieved the Board of Health sent in a proposal to the
Treasury, whose consent was necessary, to buy all
the existing cemeteries, and an estimate which seemed
to be very small ; he (the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer) made some inquiries through the Woods and
Forests, and satisfied himself that the sum required
would be three or four times as much as this estimate.
It was, however, stated substantially that no good
could be done unless the whole were bought. Then
came the question how the money was to be provided.
The whole matter having gone upon the principle
that the Government was not to advance sixpence—
there being no power in the Act to do so—the question
was how the board could borrow. They said they could
borrow from assurance companies. They had proceeded
all along with the full knowledge that the Act contained
no power for the Government to make advances,
that was not the principle of the Act, and that they
were not to have Exchequer-bills, but to get the
money from other sources. Well, why could they
not borrow ? Because they had no power of insuring
the payment of a fee , and they came to this conclu-
sion, " Unless we have the management of all the
burials in London and within 50 miles of round it,
with a power of charging a lee upon every death,
whether the corpse is buried by us or not, we cannot
borrow money." Now, that was a very serious power.
It was near the end of the session, and he (the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer) thought it was a power
which it was not reasonable, at the end of July or
beginning of August, to ask Parliament to give. Un-
less they had that, the board said they were not sure
of a sufficient income to enable them to borrow the
money. However, power was applied for to warrant
an advance of money to buy two cemeteries for which
the board had engaged in negotiation ; and either or
both might be taken. He might remark that in
Edinburgh no one was buried within the city, but the
whole was managed by cemetery companies ; therefore
it did not seem so absolutely impossible to be done by
private parties.
The Bishop of LONDON observed, that if we were
merely to authorise companies to establish cemeteries,
it would be very hard to prevent parishes from pur-
chasing grounds. However, the matter must be left
in the hands of the Government. But if the objections
of Lord John Russell held good in their full extent,
there was an end of the whole question of extramural
interment ; and under such circumstances he thought
the Government should not have allowed the Bill
to pass.

Losd J. RUSSELL did not think that. But the Board
had found that their original plan could not be carried
into effect, and they had come to the Government for
these fresh powers.

there would be no control, and the regulations neces-
sary for the decent interment of the dead could not
be enforced.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCREQUER—These very
strong powers.

Mr. GODWIN added a few words upon the extreme
importance of discontinuing the burial of the dead in
the midst of the living, and the impossibility of pre
venting the escape of the deleterious gases thus gene-
rated round our houses. It was not to be supposed
that because we had not had cholera the graveyards
were not doing their, work ; low fever and typhus
fever were for the most part preventible, and a serious
responsibility rested upon those who by exertion had
the power very much to prevent them. Agreements
had been entered into with two companies but it was
reported that the awards had not been taken up, and
that the companies were anxious to get rid of the awards
an answer to the objection that the sums awarded
were too large. Surprise had been expressed out of
doors at the project of raising money from the assur-
ance companies for these purchases, and it was
thought that the Government, which could raise
by Exchequer-bills,
money more cheaply might do it.
The simplest course had seemed to some to be for the
Board of Health to take Erith or some other spot, and
leave the cemetery companies to act as they thought
right ; but the effect of that would be that the com-
panies 'would be able to secure so large a number of
buriels that their cemeteries situated close to populous
neighbourhoods would become a greater evil than that
on account of which the Act was passed. But the
great object of the deputation was to represent the
anxiety of the public for a settlement of the question
at all events, and to urge that if the Board of Health
were to carry the Act into. effect they should have
powers given them to do so.
Mr. LORD briefly enforced the same view, and
trusted so important a statute would not be allowed
any longer to remain a dead letter. •
Mr. ABRAHAM mentioned that in consequence of
the Act not being brought into operation, many of
the parochial burial 'grounds which had been closed
during the cholera, or since, had now been re-opened.
Lord JoaN RUSSELL then said, he would make a
few observations with regard to the general ques-
tion. With respect to what had occurred, Sir Charles
Wood would be able to state much better than him-
way
self the in which the matter stood at present.

Mr. \VALsu suggested that there was a difficulty
in borrowing for want of permanency in the Board
of Health.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that
;hat might be cured.

Mr. GODWIN begged to ask how long this question
was to remain in this unsettled state ?

Lord J. RUSSELL said it must remain till next
session.

The Bishop of LONDON, as he rose with the rest
of the deputation to withdraw, said he hoped the
Government saw the importance of taking the earliest
opportunity of having the question settled.
Lord J. RUSSELL, as he was also rising, said (as
we understood) that when Parliament met the Go-

vernment would be prepared to state their views,
Mr. GODWIN asked whether the deputation might
assure [their friends and the public that the Govern-
ment felt the importance of carrying out the measure ?
Lord J. RUSSELL—We feel the importance of the
object, but the manner of carrying it into effect is a
matter for consideration.
The deputation then withdrew.

CHILD MURDER AT BRENTFORD.—Yesterday, At
ten o'clock, Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the
King's Arms, Old Brentford, on the body of a newly-born
male child, the illegitimate offspring of Catherine Bridges,
aged 18, a servant to Mr. and Mrs. Hoare. The prisoner
was sufficiently convalescent to be present at the inquiry.
Mrs. Hoare stated that the accused had a room adjoining her
bedroom, and that about three o'clock on the morning of
the 14th instant she heard a noise in the girl's room, went in,
and found her in her gown, and dressed. She saw marks of
blood on the floor, and, suspecting what had taken place,
sho asked the prisoner where tiie child was. She pointed
under the bed, where, tied up in a handkerchief, and
strangled with a tape passed twice round its neck, the infant
lay. The child, a male one, was full grown. Dr. Cooper
was called in, who attended the mother. The jury returned
a verdict of " Wilful murder," and the coroner ;directed the
officer to take the prisoner in a fly to Newgate.
We understand that the rule in the Brighton
church-rate case has been enlarged by consent until next
term ; the object of the defendant being to allow an opportu-
nity for the House of Lords to give judgment in the Brain-
tree case before further proceedings in the Brighton case.—

[PRICE SD,

SIR J. FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION.

ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.

A meeting of this society
was held yesterday even
ing at their rooms in Waterloo place, Regent-street,
and was attended not only by a numerous and influ-
ential body of the members, but also by several other
persons of distinction. In the absence of Sir Rode-
rick Murchison, the president, who was unable to
attend, the chair was taken by Sir Woodbine Parish.
After disposing of some preliminary matters connected
with Dr. Warren's proposed journey to Arabia,
The CHAIRMAN said the next correspondence
on the
minutes was that regarding Lieutenant Pine's pro-
jected expedition in search of the gallant Sir J.
Franklin and his companions. It was a subject in
which the society was very much interested, but he
had little to state beyond that which had already ap-
peared in the public papers. At their last meeting a
resolution was passed that the President should apply
to the Admiralty and other branches of the Govern-
ment for pecuniary assistance to enable Lieutenant
Pim to proceed to St. Petersburgh and carry out his
views. Their President had accordingly applied to
the Admiralty, but that department said it was not
in their power to do all that was required ; at the
same time they gave Lieutenant Pim unlimited leave
to act on his own responsibility, and do what he could.
For his own part, he thought it would be better for
the purposes which Lieutenant Pim had in view, that
he should not be hampered with any particular or-
ders of the Admiralty, and that his success would
chiefly depend on the information and assistance he
might obtain at St. Petersburgh.—(Hear, hear.) Sir
R. .Murchison then applied to Lord J. Russell,
stating the object for which Lieutenant Pun was
going out, and to that letter he received a very kind
answer from Lord J. Russell. Both of those letters
he should wish to be read to the society.
The letters were then read by the secretary, Dr.
Shaw, and were as follow :
" 16, Belgrave-square, Nov. 12.
"My Lord,—A project has been organized to send
Lieutenant Pim, R.N., on an exploratory search after
Franklin's expedition or its remains, in a region to
which no survey has yet been applied.
"It is the belief of this able and zealous officer,
who has served with distinction in Behring's Straits,
that Franklin, after passing through Wellington's
Straits, may in all probability have navigated to the
west and by north in a Polar sea, until he got inex-
tricably encompassed in ice to the north of Behring's
Straits. Admiral Wrangel and Captain Kellett have
both descried such lands in the distance, and have
described them as mountainous.
"In common with Admiral Sir F. Beaufort, the
hydrographer of the navy, and many scientific friends,
I participate in the views propounded by Lieutenant
Pim, who proposes to reach the north-eastern shores
of Siberia and thence to commence his explorations.
" As President of the Royal Geographical Society I
have warmly supported him and have written urgent
letters to the chief authorities in St. Petersburgh, on
whose report to the Emperor the prosecution of his
enterprise will depend ; and I have good reason to
hope that Russia will afford the aid required.
" Lord Palmerston has, with great kindness, given
Lieutenant Pim all due support, and will make him
the bearer of dispatches on Tuesday next, the 18th,
for her British Majesty's Minister at St. Petersburgh.
"By a resolution of the Council of the Royal
Geographical Society, I am further directed to endea-
vour to procure the countenance and assistance of her
Majesty's Government and the Admiralty. All that
can be required of the latter is that Lieutenant Pim
be rated as a full pay lieutenant during his survey,
which must, under any circumstances, prove of value
to the bydrographical department of the navy.
"To your Lordship, therefore, as First Lord of the
Treasury, I must make my appeal, in requesting you
will, if you deem it right, direct that the sum of 5001.
be contributed by the public to aid in carrying out the
arduous survey proposed, which will occupy two or
three years.

" When I bear in mind the kind and considerate
manner in which, as first Minister of the Crown, you
have encouraged the advances of science, and, when I
reflect on the large sums which have been already so
generously granted under your auspices for the pro-
secution of naval researches to discover the missing
expedition, I trust you will be induced to sanction the
advance of the small sum of money required to enable
us as Englishmen to take our proper share in the
first survey of this peculiar nature which has been
applied to the north-east of Asia.

" I have the honour to remain your Lordship's
most obedient humble servant, _ _

" RODERICK J. MURCHISON."
"Downing-street, Nov. 17.
" Dear Sir Roderick,—l have just given an order
that 5001. should be paid to Lieutenant Pim for spe-
cial service.

Two other gentismen made a few observations, and
The CHAIRMAN having stated that the general opi-
nion of the society appeared to be that Sir John
Franklin might have forced his way through the Wel-
lington Channel, and might still be found ; and
having Expressed his sincere hope that such would be
the successful issue of Lieutenant Pim's adventurous
undertaking,
The meeting was adjourned.

THE LATE MURDER IIV MARYLEBONE.
Yesterday Thomas Bare was brought up from the
House of Detention, Clerkenwell, for re-examination,
before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Broughton, at the
Marylebone Police Court, on the charge of having
murdered Louisa Bare, his wife, by stabbing her with
a triangular saw file.
An immense number of persons had congregated in
the vicinity of the court, anxious to catch a glimpse of
the accused, and when the Government van drew up
at the back entrance in Paradise-street the mob rushed
en masse towards the vehicle. Many constables were,
as upon former occasions, in attendance to preserve
order, and the prisoner, after alighting, amid hisses
and the loudest execrations, was conveyed to one of
the lock-up rooms, in which he was to remain until
the night charges were disposed of.
At half-past three the prisoner was placed at the
awbmserro,esatpnridemstpehnoert.tenonutr iattntehssat period was crowded to ex-
cess; he was much more pale than when brought up
in the first instance ; but his perfect composure and

" I trust he will not, in the ardour of his pursuit,
risk unduly his own life. I wish him every success.
" Yours faithfully,

J. RUSSELL."
The CHAIRMAN continued. After the correspon-
dence he felt it bis duty to propose a vote of thanks
of the society to Lord J. Russell, for his very kind
reply to the commuuication of their President.
The following resolution was then moved by the
CHAIRMAN and carried unanimously :
" That the thanks of the Royal Geographical Society
be given to Lord John Russell, as the head of her Ma-
jesty's Government, for his kind and prompt compliance
with the wishes of this society, as expressed through
their President, Sir Roderick Murchison, in granting the
sum of 5001. to Lieutenant Pim in furtherance of his
projected expedition in search of Sir John Franklin and
his companions."

Selina Beckett, the witness alluded to, and who
was still in a very weak state, was accommodated
with a seat; she was sworn, and said--I live at 33,
North-street; my husband is a printer. I lodge in
the first floor front room. I knew a woman (the
prisoner's wife), who went by the name of Nott , she
lodged in the back room next to mine. She we. sin
the habit of going out to work at about eight in the
morning, and came home very regularly between
eight and nine.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Do you know the prisoner
Witness—Yes ;he is there (pointing to the bar) ;
he is the man who committed the murder.
Mr. BROUGHTON—When did you first see him ?
Witness—On the Saturday night when the murder
took place.
Mr. BROITGHTON—At what time did you see him ?
Witness—At a few minutes after nine.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Do you know anything that
took place in the parlour ? Witness—No.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Now, tell me all you know
with respect to this dreadful affair.
Witness—The deceased came in at about nine, and
I,heard her go up stairs. I also heard the footsteps of
a man following her, but I took no particular notice
of the circumstance at the time, as the man used to
come to the house frequently. The man who fol-
lowed her went into the room, and I heard the door
shut, and presently there was some loud talking
as if the parties were quarrelling. Deceased
said to the man who bad gone upstairs with her,
"Don't make any noise to disturb the other lodgers ;"
and after that I heard him (prisoner) say, " You
know that you and the woman who lives with you are
nothing better than common prostitutes." He ac-
cused his wife of having been drinking on the pre-
vious Saturday at a low public-house, with some more
bad women, and she made answer, " So help me God,
I was not there, but if you'll sit down I'll explain
everything to you ;" upon which he exclaimed " God
d-- you, I know enough of you already. I don't
want you to explain anything more." After that he
said, " I want nothing of you but my boxes, and, so
help me God, I won't leave this house without them."
He called her a b--- b—, and as soon as I heard
that, I ran down end spoke to the landlady, telling her
that there was dreadful quarrelling upstairs. The
landlady was at that period looking out at the door
for the police. I went up to my own room, pulled to
the door, and directly afterwards I heard a woman
scream "Murder!" I ran out, and on looking into
the prisoner's room, the door of which was open, I
saw him strike the deceased with all his might, near
the window, with his right hand.
Mr. BROUGHTON—CouId you see whether he had
any instrument in his hand, or not ? Witness—I
could not.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Did you go into the apartment ?
Witness—l did, Sir, while deceased was still scream-
ing " Murder !" I heard her say to the prisoner,
" Don't murder me." These were the last words she
spoke. I saw ithe prisoner hit her with great force
several times after ho had thrown.her down, and when
she fell upon the fender, with her head reclining on
it, and while apparently quite insensible, he gave her
three or four more blows as hard as he could. He
then passed by me and walked out of the room, and
went down stairs.
By Mr. BROUGHTON—After she fell upon the fen-
der she never spoke or moved. Witness, in continua-
tion, said—When the prisoner passed me he went out
at the front door. While he was striking the deceased
in his room I said to him, " Oh, pray take away your
things, but don't hurt the poor creature." After he
had quitted I saw a quantity of blood streaming from
the deceased's forehead, and there was a great deal of
blood also by the fireplace. Deceased's eyes were
fixed, and I was sure she was dead. I hastened down
to the landlady, who instantly repaired to the room,
and on my entering it in ten minutes afterwards, I
found the poor creature lying on the floor, life being
quits extinct. Witness further said, in reply to ques-
tions from the prisoner, a man used to come almost
every evening to see the deceased between a quarter
and half-past eight o'clock. He sometimes left at
ten, but never later than twelve. A woman named
Hands lived with the deceased and slept with her.
They worked at the same shop, and generally came
home together.
Mr. Fell (the chief clerk)--Was Hands generally
in the room when the man you speak of came ? 'Wit-
ness—Yes, always, except when she went out for a
short time to get some refreshment.
Mr. Fell—Was she there on the night of the mur-
der ? Witness—Yes ; but she did not come in till
twelve o'clock.
Mr. BROUGHTON (to Inspector Jackson)—ls Mrs.
Hands here ? Inspector—She is not, Sir, and it will
perhaps be some time before she will be able to leave
the infirmary.
Mr. BROUGHTON (to the witness Beckett)—Did
you ever see anything irregular in the conduct of the
deceased ? Witness—Never, Sir ; quite the con-
trary.
Inspector Jackson here said—" I find from the in-
quiries which I have instituted respecting her that she
has been for a long time a hard-working and industri-
ous woman, but that the prisoner has been jealous of
her for some years past."
The prisoner cross-questioned the witness Beckett,
who in reply to him said—There was no one in your
room but you and your wife ; the boy was outside
with a box, and you had opened the door for him to
take it out. After the box was taken away I heard
no words, but I did hear loud screams. I never
heard that either of the women was a fortune-teller.
Prisoner—l have nothing more to say to
you.
(Addressing the magistrate)—ls Mrs. Hands to be
examined to-day ?
Mr. BROUGHTON—No, she is too
ill, she is in the
infirmary.
Prisoner—Then I have no other questions to ask.
(He here sat down, and rested his he ad upon his
hands on the bar, yet at the same time did not betray
the slightest emotion.)
Some additional particulars were gone into corro-
borativelin some degree of those which had preceded
the present inquiry.
Mr. BROUGHTON then gave the prisoner to under-
stand that as the depositions were of so voluminous
a nature, and as the sessions were now on, he would
not be sent for trial until the next session of the Cen-
tral Criminal Court, which would commence on the
15th of December; he would be brought up again
on Monday next, when the whole ofthe evidence
given against him would be read over, and he would
then be sent to take his trial for the wilful murder
of his wife.
He was then locked up, and while being removed
from his cell to the prison van be narrowly escaped
being roughly treated by an immense mob.

The CHAIRMAN continued—The projected expedi-
tion was not without its risks, but, upon Lieutenant
Pim's departure, his friends impressed upon him the
necessity of not running any unnecessary danger.-
-(flear.) They had committed him to the Russian
Government, and trusted he would receive from it
every aid and assistance ; for that Government and
every other must be interested in a question not only
of humanity but of science.
On the motion of Colonel LLOYD the followingreso-
lution was moved and carried :

"That the thanks of this society be given to the Pre-
sident, Sir Roderick Murchison, for the effective manner
i❑ which he has carried out the expressed wishes of the
society, and secured the pecuniary assistance of her
Majesty's Government in furtherance of Lieutenant
Pirn's projected expedition in search of Sir John Frank-
li❑ and his companions."

Captain OMMANNEY, R.N., one of the commanding
officers of the late expedition, then gave a very suc-
cinct and interesting account of their proceedings,
tracing on the chart the course the expedition had
taken, but without that assistance it would be impos-
sible to follow him satisfactorily through his narra-
tive, and the principal part of it has in fact already
appeared in these columns. It proved that the whole
of the coast as far as the vessels could go along Baf-
fin's Bay, Lancaster Sound, and Barrow's Straits on
either side, the principal part of the Wellington Chan-
nel and the coast of Melville's Island, had been most
carefully and minutely explored, but without success.
The fact however, of Sir John Franklin's expedition
having touched at Beachey Island in April, 1846, was
shown by the tombs of three seamen found there with
inscriptions upon them. In answer to a question
from the Chairman, Captain Ommanney said, the re-
sult of the exploration satisfied him of the improba-
bility of Sir J. Franklin's having gone to the westward
of the Cornwallis Island.

Lieutenant OSBORNE, one of the officers of the ex-
pedition, expressed his firm conviction that Sir John
Franklin had rushed forward to the north-west of the
Wellington Channel. It must be recollected that the
expedition was equipped for four years' service, and
he had recently beard in Paris, from a gentleman who
was well acquainted with Lieutenant Halkett one of
Sir John Franklin's officers, and who was conversing
with him just before he started, that the provisions.
they they carried would hold out for six years if

pose that his ships had been crushed by the ice, and
that the whole of the crews had perished, was, as be
believed, out of the question. He had been at first
opposed to the idea that there was an open sea beyond
the Wellington Channel, but observations which he
had made during the expedition, such as the presence
of white whales and various aquatic birds coming
from the North down the channel, and also the fact
of there appearing to be two tides—one coming from
the northward, and the other from the south, up Baf-
fin's Bay, had induced him to change that opinion,
and to come to the conclusion that there was such an
open sea, and that Sir John Franklin might have
forced his way into it by the Wellington Channel,
and so make his way to Behring's Straits.

deceased never showed symptoms of her intentions to destroy
herself. She was admitted about four months ago, and was
allowed to walk in the lower gallery, the apartment for
peaceable patients. Matilda Law, deceased's cousin, said,
before deceased was received into the institution, she was
under the impression that she was a traitor to the Queen, and
that in consequence she was going to be executed. On one
occasion she remained in her room eleven weeks from the
effects of that delusion, when she suddenly destroyed all her
furniture and wearing apparel, and came to witness nearly
naked. She showed witness her neck, which was full of
scratches, and she stated that she had been trying to kill
herself. Coroner—What do you think was the exciting
cause? Witness—Jealousy. She was attached to a gentle-
man holding a situation under Government, but the con-
nexion had been broken off. On Monday last witness
spoke to her about obtaining her release, when she observed
that it would not happen, as there were fires round the
