THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 221 1856:

Feeney did not dine there that day ; he came home to no

dinner.
What time did he come in that night !—I dare say
about 8 or f o'clock.
Cross-examination continued—He took his supper
that night, meat or fish, whichever was ready to his hand,
but Ido not know which. He had done his supper, to
the !best of my knowledge, about 9 o'clock. He went
down to the yard for half an hour or three-quartars that
night, He went down while Mr. Harrington was in the
place. He was in the room when Mr. Harrington came
in. He only stayed—well, not very long, sir. I am
sure I do not know ; I did not mind. To the bast of my
opinion she was about half an hour in the room with
Harrington, and then he went down. He came up again
a little before Mr. Harrington went. Mr. Harrington
remained not very long after. I suppose about 10 or 15
minutes. I never got the 1/. I never said I'll be revenged
of Harrington, to my knowledge. I will swear I did not.
I never heard a word of the reward—never, never, never
did. I had no occasion—never, never. Ido not know
about a reward. I never heard it up to this moment—
never, never ; no, indeed, sir. I cannot read or write
the least. I cannot read anything.
When did you give the information ?-11e, sir 1
Yes, you ?—Wel', on Wednesday last it was given.
it was, the police came to Mrs.
I gave none. The way
Feen ey's.
Mr. O'Donnell—Did you ever tell what you have
now stated, and to whom !

. .
Wit, ois—On Thursday last, to one of the detectives.
Here is one of them (pointing to Inspector Ryan). He
called on me to know about it. A few werds passed, be-
fore that, to a man named Mr. Taylor. That was the day
before. I mean on Wednesday last. Mrs. Feeney was
present. It was about this man being killed. Mr. Taylor
came about his own business—to get a pair of trousers
made by Mr. Feeney. He went to go read the paper
about the death of this man (Mr. Little) while he was
waiting. Mrs. Feeney said that Mr. Harrington should
be looked after. I heard a good while ago about the
dead man, but I did not know until Wednesday last that
it was a murder. I heard they were killed, but not mur-
dered. I thought that it was an "accidence." Mr. Taylor
had the paper in his pocket when he came in. It was for
Mrs. Feeney he read it, and Mr. Feeney came in and heard
part of it. I was by. That was the first time I heard of
the murder. He was waiting for Feeney to come iii. I do
not know what Mr. Taylor is. I attended Mr. Harring-
ton's business while in his service. Some of his property
was under my care. I could not tell what he had under
lock; the rest was under me. I knew what dress he gene-
rally wore while I was with him. I knew that he generally
wore gaiters. He often went without them—as often
as with them, maybe. He generally carried a stick. I
often. saw the stick in the house, and would, perhaps,
know it, (Handed a black thorn stick.) That is not it.
He bad a less one and a greater one. I never saw this
before to my knowledge. He could not have it " un-
knownt" to me in his own place. He used seldom have
to go to the country, or at ;east used seldom leave his
own place. Often when he said he'd been in the coun-
try, it was in Mill-street he was, I saw money with
him, sometimes he gave me a trifle. I never saw several
' pounds together. The most I saw was a pound for
change. I know he collected rents from Lady Boyle
and others. I never heard where be went to collect
them. He used to go to Lusk and in them directions.
Sere it was not my business to ask him where he went
to. I bad only a slight knowledge of Mrs. Feeney before
I stopped with her. I had a knowledge of her about
a twelve month before I went to stop with her. I never
heard of Mr. Little's name or about the murder until last
Wednesday ; or about a reward until this day—never
did. (Sensation.) Mr. Feeney and me never had a
conversation about that night. Nor did we even speak
of it to any one until we spoke of it to Mr. Taylor. The
only per,on we spoke to after were the detectives, when
they came to us. I know James Hoare. I saw him
last about a fortnight last Sunday. He came into Mrs.
Feeney's. Mrs. Feeney told James Hoare something ;
but I went down for water and did not hear it. Ido riot
knew that Hoare was discharged by Mr. Harrington.
He might be doing business for Mr. Harrington still.
(Handed the razor found in the canal.). I never saw
that before.

Mr. Joseph Taylor, examined—l live in No. 1 Temple-
view, Broadstone. I am a lodgiaghouse keeper and
keep a cattle yard.
Do you know the prisoner !—I do not.
Superintendent Guy—The man's evidence is only re-
quired to corroborate the statement of the last witness.
-Examination continued—l know Eliza Fitzsimons. I
saw her in Watling-struet. I had a conversation with
her. We were talking about Mr. Little's murder. Mrs.
Feeney was present. Mrs. Feeney desired her to tell me
about a Mr. Harrington that came in there on Tuesday
night, the night of the murder, about 12 o'clock.
Did she tell you anything ?—She told me that he
washed his bands in a basin, that they had a great ap-
pearance of blood on them.
Mr. Fitzgerald objected to the conversation between
the two women being published. The story of the two
women might create a great prejudice in the public mind
against Mr. Harrington.
Mr. O'Donnell—lt is clearly not evidence.
Mr. Fitzgerald—l do not object to it being taken on
the information.
Mr. O'Donnell—lt is clearly not evidence.
Inspector Guy—lt goes to the credibility of the wit-
ness.

Mr. Fitzgerald—That is for me or my counsel. I
am out of place here, but I had no time to instruct
counsel.

The prisoner—I was given no time ; none whatever.
Mr. Fitzgerald—l do not object to the conversation
being spread on the informations ; but I think it would
be unfair to publish it.
_.slr. O'Donnell—lt is, as I sail, not evidence. If

Fitzsimons was an approver it might be different. '
Cross-examined-- Mrs. Feeney desired Fitzsimons to
have the conversation about Mr. Harrington told to me.
I read the newspaper that Dowd's affair was in. That
was after the oonversation. I read it the second time
when Feeney came in. It was before I read the paper
Mrs. Feeney desired Fitzsimons to mention the matter
to me. I was there twice that day. It was on my first
visit that I had the conversation with Mrs. Feeney and
Fitzsimons. I had no paper then. The first time I
called was between two and three o'clock in the day.
The second time it was about half-past eight or near
nine. It was then I had the paper with me. Feeney
was in sons time after nine. On the second time I had
a conversation again—a conversation about the reward.
My impression is that I did not mention anything about
the reward. I mentioned about the hammer and razor.
We merely spoke of the murder and the hardship that an
innocent man might be implicated. On the first occa-
sion there was a conversation about the murder.
Mr. O'Donnell—l am about to ask a question of the
witness which will one way or the other affect the credi-
bility of the last witness, and I want to know if you have
any objection ?
Mr. Fitzgerald—Witness stated that he had not.
Mr. O'Donnell (to the witness)—Did these parties, in
their intercourse with you, state whether they, or either
of them, first mentioned Mr. Harrington as the person ;1
you went there about half-past 2 o'clock, and again be-
tween 8 and 9, and did Feeney or Fitzsimons tell you
when first they said anything about Harrington ?
Witness—Yes, sir; the early time.
Mr. O'Donnell—Did either of them tell you they sus-
pected Harrington
Witness-7 They did.
Mr. O'Donnell—Did they tell you when first they did?
Witness—At the time that Mr. Feeney brought home
word that Mr. Little was murdered at the Broadstone ?
Mr. O'Donnell—When was that ?
Witness—lt was a few days after the murder ; this
was at the first interview.
Mr. O'Donnell—When did they say they first
sus-
pected him.?
Witness—They said when they heard the first ac-
count of the murder it occurred to their minds, from the
appearance of Mr. Harrington, that he committed the
murder.
Mr. O'Donnell—And when !
Witness—lt must have been the Saturday night after
the murder-
Mr. O'Donnell—Was Fitzsimons present this time ?
Witness—She was present at it.
The witness stated that Fitzsimons saw the razor in
Exchange-court. Fitzsimons, when examined, swore
that she had not seen it before.
Catherine Feeney examined—l am the wife of John
Feeney, a tailor. I have known Mr, Harrington 5 or 6
years. I saw him last Tuesday and that day week, be-
tween 10 and 11 o'clock in the morning, in Bow-street.
About 5 or 6 or more weeks ago he came to my room about
12 o'clock. He was seemingly feeble, and sat down on the
side of the bed. The girl Fitzsimons arid my child came up
the stairs with him. After he had sat down on the bed
he asked for a drink of water. The child handed it to
him. He took a black bottle out of his pocket and
poured some whisky from it into the water. The bottle
had a green label. He said he was greatly put about
with attack of his nerves. I saw his left hand with blood
on the back of it and through the fingers. There was
also blood on his cheeks, but mere on the left than on
the right cheek. Across his chin there was likewise
blood. He asked for more water, and said he wanted
to wash his hands. He got the water and pulled a
handkerchief from his breast, put it into the basin, and
then washed his hands. I handed him a towel. He
bade me take the candle off the table. When I had
done so he put his foot upon the leaf of the table, and
with the towel which I bad given him he rubbed down
the front of his clothes, dipping the towel in the cup of
spirit and water. He wiped his coat, trousers, leggings,
rettil shoes. Before he got the water to wash himself I
soenarited the blood, and asked him how he came to be
he bloody- He replied that he bad been in a riot, that
went to make peace, and got the worst of it. I told

small weapon like a dagger in it. He wiped this on the
towel. He put on his coat and walked downstairs, bat
came back again, took more water, and said he was
greatly put about in his nerves. He afterwards left for
the night. On Friday, the day following, he came again

for his cox`, and took it away. I found blood on the
back, the side body, and the breast. I told bim that
there was no paint except a little white paint on the
coat, which I could not get off, as I had no turpentine,
and that the remaining spots were blood. He told me
that he had a coat for repair by Feeney, but I said that
we had constant work, and could not take it from him.
Cross-examined by Mr. Fitzgerald—When Harring-
ton mile in my husband, the children, and Fitzsimons
were in my room. My husband was going downstairs
when he entered the room. My husband was going to
smoke. and left the room for that purpose. He left the
room in two minutes after Harrington came and stayed
away half-an-hour, I think. He returned before Har-
rington went away, about le minutes or less. He did
not like Harrington's company. Harrington spoke to
Fitzsimons in my presence about his clothes—once in
my place and once in his own house. Those were the
only occasions upon which I heard him speak of his
clothes. Fitzsimons lived constantly with me since she
left Harrington, except three or four nights that she was
away. I think she was looking to get into the poor.
house. She said she would ask for admission when I
told her my husband could not afford to support her. 1
have known her for several years, but I never spoke to
her until the week before my husband recommended her
to Harrington, twelve months ago. I was more than a
year living in the same house 'with her, but never spoke
a word to her until the time I say. I heard about the
reward the first time on Tuesday or Wednesday last
from Taylor. He said that I should be a bad woman if
I did not go and tell my mind about Harrington. O❑
the day after the night Harrington came to my place
he told Fitzsimons not to be uneasy, as he bad got
the insurance money on his wife, and would pay
her what he owed. On the Friday night my husband
said he heard of a man having been murdered on the
railway, and that his head was nearly cut off. He said
that it was crying out all through Patrick-street. Be-
tween that and Saturday morning I suspected Harring•
ton. I first told my suspicions to my husband o❑ the
Saturday morning. I said I was afraid that Mr. Har-
rington had something to do with it. I never spoke to
my husband afterwards about it, for he said I was to hold
" my tongue; did I want to get him put out of Dublin ?"
Taylor was the next person I told it to. I never heard
of the reward until I heard of it from him. He said that
I ought to have reported what I knew before then, for it
ought to be looked after. He said I would have a reward
from God for doing it, and that, along with it, there was
a good reward offered by some person whose name I do
❑ot recollect. I met Harrington in Bow-street in Octo-
ber last. I was never turned out of a house in Bow-street
by the prisoner, but he said, " Go on out of this, you
blackguard." I never threatened to be revenged of him.
I have been in police-offices before to-day. I have been
brought there about stolen clothes. I was alsu before
the magistrates at the head police-office, but was cleared
there. I cannot remember how many times I spoke to
Fitzsimons about Harrington and the murder, but I spoke
to her about a week or fortnight after be was up at my
place. I said that if I could get anything clearer than
my own suspicions I would have him arrested. She said
she would sooner go into the poorhouse or into the canal
than prosecute Harrington. I said I would drag her
out of the poorhouse, or from any part of Ireland, if I

wanted her. I had these conversations three or four

times. Hoare used to come up to my room every even-
ing. It was I told Taylor first about Harrington, and
bade him ask the other girl (Fitzsimons) some questions
about it.
John, Feeney examined—l am a tailor. I remember
the night that Harrington came to my room. I went
out immediately after he entered. I know no more
about him. I think he came on a Thursday night.
Cross-examined—l should not like to swear that it
was a Thursday night, but to the best of my knowledge
it was. When I saw him come in I got up and walked out.
I spoke to my wife, I think on a Friday morning, about
a man having been killed at the railway. Ido not think
I ever said anything more to her about it. My wife
never spoke to me about the murder.
Anne Feeney, a child of 10 years of age, was then
examined—l saw Mr. Harrington about five weeks ago
in our place in Watling-street, at a couple of minutes
past 12 o'clock. I had to give him a cup of water. The
girl and I were out. He met us, and said it was a late
hour to be looking for a candle.
This witness was not cross-examined.
The depositions of the various witnesses were then
(S o'clock) read over and verified.
The prisoner was remanded to Tuesday next.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

On Saturday a Court was held for the despatch of pub-
lic business.

THE NEWLY-ELECTED RECORDER.
Mr. Russell Gurney, who on Tuesday last was una-
nimously elected Recorder, was sworn into office.
The Lord Mayor having invited the Recorder to take
his seat, that learned officer, in returning thanks (which
he did in a most graceful manner), said :—" My Lord
Mayor, I cannot take my seat in this court without ex-
pressing to your lordship, and through your lordship to
the members of this Court, my grateful thanks for the
honour which they have conferred upon me by electing
rne, and not less, I may say, by the manner in which
they have elected me, to the high office which it will
now be my pride to fill. (Hear, hear.) I have on two
former occasions had to offer to the aldermen and com•
mon councilmen of London the expression of my grati-
tude for the confidence which they have reposed in me by
electing me to important judicial offices. The discharge
of the duties of those offices has necessarily brought
me into immediate communication with the magis
trates of London, and it is a matter of peculiar gratifi-
cation to me that I have now bee❑ selected for the
office which I fill by those who for many years have
had such ample opportunities of observing the manner
in which my past duties have been discharged. (Hear,
hear.) I know well that the duties of my present office
are various, and many of them difficult ; but my past
experience has satisfied me that I need not fear any
but a most generous construction of my conduct, if
only you shall perceive in me an honesty of purpose
and a perfect devotion of such powers as I possess to
your service and to the service of the public. (Cheers.)
Thanks, I know, for such favours as I have received
may seem idle things, and I certainly hare not the
power to express the feelings to which I would wish
to give utterance, but I feel assured that I shall best
manifest my gratitude, and beat repay the kindness
which has been shown me, and the confidence which has
been reposed in me, by an anxious discharge of all the
duties which now devolve upon me, by a firm and yet
merciful administration of the law, and by a zeal which
I promise you shall never flag to maintain the rights
and uphold the honour of this ancient corporation.
(Loud cheers.)

The learned Recorder then took his seat at the right
of the Lord Mayor and commenced the duties of his
office.

THE GOVERNOR OF THE GAOL OF NERGATE,
Mr. Alderman COPELAND, senior visiting magistrate
to the prison, brought up the following report, which
wan read by the town clerk :

" To the right Hon. the Lord Mayor and Court of Alder-

men.

" We, the undersigned visiting magistrates, to whom it
was referred to ascertain the truth of the allegation re-
specting the Governor of Newgate receiving presents of
game from the friends of a prisoner named Octavius King,
annex the statements made, and are of opinion that there
is not the slightest foundation for the statement mad•
against the Governor of Newgate. (Hear, hear.)
" W. T. COPELAND,
" WILLIAM LAWRENCE.

0 Saturday, Dec. 13, 1856."
Mr. Alderman COPELAND said that his ctolle2gue and
himself had instituted as strict and as searching an inquiry
into the charges brought against the Governor as it was
possible to make. The Governor had met the charges
in a most fair, honest, and straightforward manner; and
it has been proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, espe-
cially by the evidence of King's brother, that the Go-
vernor had faithfully and properly discharged the duties
of his office, and that the charges brought against him
were both false and calumnious. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said he had read the evidence,
and quite agreed wit h the opinion at which the visiting
mactistrates had arrived. As he had been the means of
communicating': the rumour to the Court, he desired to
say that he bad done so on the statement of an officer very
high in confidence of the Court. It appeared that the
rumour had originated with the prisoner King himself,
who stated in the infirmary that he bat been enabled to
write to his friends more frequently than the gaol regu
lations allowed from the circumstance of his brother hay.
ing sent game to the Governor. The fact that King was
the originator of the rumour was proved by one of the
officers of the gaol, as well as by some prisoners in the
infirmary ward who heard the statement. It turned out,
however, that King had made a most unfounded and
unjust statement, and he (Mr. Alderman Sidney) was
most happy to think that the visiting justices had been
enabled to bring up so satisfactory a report. (Hear,
hear.)

Mr. Alderman COPELAND—That King wrote more
frequently than any other prisoner there can be no
doubt, but why was this ? He was a bankrupt, and his
correspondence wholly and solely related to his bank-
ruptcy. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Alderman WiLeoltr—l think we must all very
much regret that such a charge as this should ever have
been brought forward. The character of the Governor of
Newgate is as dear to him as the character of any mem-
ber of this Court is dear to him, That is a matter which
ought not to be trifled with, (Hear, hear. Before such
a charge was brought it ought to he ascertained whether
there was any probability of truth in it. (Hear, hear.)
A set of fellows in Newgate, convicts whom you cannot
examine on oath, and who are not to be believed, report
a cunvereatson, which is carried to the Court of Alder-
men, anti the matter gets into print, to the set' oui injury
of the character of the Governor. I hope when the
C 'urt have expressed their opinion upon this subject the
Governor will bo called to the bar, and told that there
is no foundation whatever for the charges. (Hear, hear.)
Sir P. LAURIE—As far as I can judge, a more judi-
cious and clear-headed man than Mr. Weatherhead
never was appointed to any office in the gift of the cor•
poration. He is by far the best Governor we have had
during my recollection. I am very glad to find that the
report of the visiting mastistrates completely exonerates
the Governor from all blame, and frustrates the attempt
that was made to blast his character and reputation.
Mr. Alderman EAGLETON said that the character of
the Governor, he was sure, would sustain no injury from
the false charges which had been brought against him.
Mr. A ldetman COPELAND It is enough for me to know
and to state to my brethren that all these matters
were securely bottled up for weeks at least, till the
conduct of the informant was such that he got suspended
from his office, when he spat his venom by making this
charge against the Governor. (Hear, hear.)
The report was agreed to, and upon the motion of
Mr. Alderman Wilson, seconded by Sir Peter Lauriis,
the Governor was called to the bar of the Court, when
The LORD MAYOR, addressing him, said—l have great

pleasure in stating to you that the charges which were
made against you have been thoroughly investigated,
and that there was not the slightest ground for making
them. There is not the least reilection upon your cha
ratter.
Mr. WEATHERHEAD bowed and withdrew.

Mr. Alderman CIIBITT, chairman of the gaol com-
mittee, brought up a report recommending the dismissal
of the chapel clerk and schoolmaster from his situation.
Agreed to.

EMMANUEL HOSPITAL.

Mr. Alderman WIRB moved—

"That tho Emmanuel Hospital Committee be with°.
rised to treat with Government or any bodies, politic or
corporate, or any other persons, for the sale of the estate
belonging to the hospital, with the buildings thereon
situate at Westminster."

The matter was ordered to be reported upon, and the
Court adjourned.

being fitted to serve as an extra Ordnance floating maga-
zine, and is to be moored in an appropriate part of the
river, to be ultimately fixed on by the authorities. The
Coneluestador left Sheerness on Monday last, but on ac-
ci,unt of the havy state of the fog on the Thames the
steamers were unable to proceed further than Northfleet
until the clearing of the atmosphere.
The following appointments were made on Saturday

PORTSMOUTH, Saturday.—The dockyard is looking
busy again in bringing forward five of our heavy iron
screw troop frigates—viz., Simoom, Megmra, Assistance,
Resolute, and Transit. Each ship can accommodate
from 1000 to 1200 soldiers, and it is supposed they will
proceed to India. We hear it rumoured that 10,000
troops are to embark without delay. The same mistrust
is visible in every one's countenance as existed at the
commencement of the Russian outbreak three ye irs
since ; we are, however, on this occasion better pre-
pared. The dockyard is full of stores, all marked and
numbered ; our liners and steamers have their sea stores
on board ; and in one month we could send, in any
direction, 100 heavy ships of war, 150 screw gun-boats,
and 100 mortar vessels, besides half-a-dozen huge iron-
cased floating batteries ; but of these last we have no
opinion, nor ever had, from the launching at Blackwall
the first of these abortions, and the late practice at Plum:
stead-marshes with 68-pound shot at from 400 to 600
yards has proved that they would sink the strongest of
them. When the first order was given for building these
expensive and sinless batteries, the Morning Herald
suggested that the same experiment should be inaedi-
ately tried so as to test their supposed invulnerability.
Now it has proved that they are totally unfit for the
object intended, ailinodrnhienrge anothererald. half million of money

THE ARCTIC SHIP RESOLUTE.

PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 21.
Last evening, Capt. Hartstein, Lieut. C. H. Wells,
Lieut. E. E. Stone, Lieut. 11. Davidson, Dr. Maccoun,
and Dr. Otis, comprising all the officers of her Majesty's
ship Resolute, were entertained at the Admiralty-house
by Vice-Admiral Sir G. Seymour, K.C.8., the Comman•
der-in-Chief. Mr. Cro3key, Consul-General for the United
States of this district, and Chevalier Vincent Pappalardo,
Vice-Consul at Portsmouth, were also guests, with a gal-
lant circle of naval officers, among whom were Major-
General Briton, the Lieutenant-Governor ; Rear-Admi-
ral Superintendent Martin ; Sir T. Maitland, C.B. ;
Capt. Dacres, C.B. ; Capt. Stewart, C.B. ; Colonel
Graham, C. 8., A.D.C., itc. Sir G. Seymour, in pro-
posing the health of the President of the United Sates,
paid a well-merited trdotr e to the service represented by
Captaiatind llfaarmtsitlyei.n, to which that officer responded in
very terse and suitable terms.
The officers were afterwards presented to Lady Sey-
mour Yesterday afternoon Messrs. Garratt and Gibbon, the
agents to Lloyd at this port, delivered a telegraphic mes-
sage to Captain Hartstein from the Shipowners Society
of Liverpool, requesting permission to send a deputation
from that society to present an address to Captain Hea-
-1 stein. A reply was returned that the deputation would
be received on Tuesday next on board the Resolute.
The Resolute is an object of touch interest in the port.
Among the stores found in her were several puncheons
of fine old rum, which had been put on board in pride
condition at the outset of her career fromWoolwich. One
of these puncheons had been sent by Captain Hartstein
to Prince Albert, as a relic of the Resolute.
On Tuesday the only public dinner the American offi-
cera can attend in England will be given by the Mayor
and Corporation of Portsmouth. On Christmas day the
American officers will all dine with Lady Franklin.

EXECUTION OF JACKSON FOR THE MURDER
OF HIS TWO CHILDREN AT CHESTER.

The execution of William Jackson, for the murder of
his two children in A ugust last, at Chester, took place
this morning at eight o'clock in front of the city gaol.
The attendance was not so numerous as was expected,
hut still there was a great number of spectators present.
The preparations for the execution commenced yesterday
afternoon, and by six!o'clock all the preliminaries for
carrying out the dreadful sentence of the law had been
completed.
The final interview between the unhappy culprit and
his wife and children, which commenced at halt-past two
o'clock, did not terminate until five yesterday afternoon.
The chaplain and the Rev. Mr. Dicken, who were
present, represented to our reporter that the, separation
was inexpressibly distressing on the part of the wife, but
that the culprit maintained a calm composure.
After the interview the prisoner prayed with the Rev.
Mr. Dicken for some time, along with the chaplain, and
until eleven o'clock he was left alone, with the exception
of occasional visits from the turnkeys. The chaplain
returned at eleven o'clock, and remained with the cul-
prit from that hour up to the time of his execution.
At half-past twelve o'clock this morning the city
sheriff, Mr. J. Jones, who was represented by Mr. P.
Bordessa, went to the Castle, and, presenting the war-
rant for the prisoner's execution, which had been di-
rected to him, demanded the body of the culprit. The
warrants given to the county and city gaolers having
been exchanged, Mr. Dunstan, the governor of the
county gaol, gave up the prisoner, and he then left the
Castle in a cab in charge of Mr. Steel, the governor of
the city gaol, and Mr. Bordessa, accompanied by the
Rev. Mr. Kilner, the chaplain of the county prison.
Before leaving the county prison, the culprit was for-
mally asked it he had had proper spiritual assistance ;
he replied, " I have had all the assistance that I could
have expected." On arriving at the city gaol, and being
shown to his room, he was supplied with some port
wine, and afterwards smoked.for a time. The chaplain
then waited upon him, and prayed with him for some
time, and subsequently he had a second short sleep.
At five o'clock the chaplain again visited him, and
remained with him up to seven o'clock, when, in com-
pany with the governor and the officers of the gaol, he
attended service in the chapel. About five minutes to
eight o'clock the city sheriff announced that the hour
for the execution was approaching, and a procession
from the chapel was then formed, headed by the Rev.
Mr. Kilner. the chaplain of the county gaol, and the
Rev. Mr. Ilewson, chaplain of the city gaol, and fol-
lowed by the culprit in charge of the two gaolers. On
arriving at the pinioning-room the services of Calcraft
were called, and in a few moments this process was
completed, and, with a firm step, the wretched man
ascended the steps leading to the drop. On appearing
on the platform the audience manifested rather a feeling
of compassion than indignation towards the unhappy
criminal. There were evidently many who sympathised
with the domestic miseries which are believed to have
led him into the commission of the horrible crime of
which be bad so justly been found guilty.
Immediately before the execution the chaplain asked
him if he admitted the justice of his sentence, when he
replied, " I do ; the Lord Jesus receive my spirit. Lord
have mercy on me ; Lord have mercy on me." As he
was repeating this ejaculation the bolt was drawn, and,
without even a momentary struggle, he died, and the
lifeless body of Win, Jackson was dangling in the air.
We have ornitted::to state that from the time of his con•

damnation his appetite never failed him, and this morn-
ing he partook of a hearty breakfast.—Liverpool Chro-
nicle of Saturday..

THE CAPITAL CONVICT,3 AT MAID-

STONE.

The calendar for the county of Kent at the late as•
sizes has not for a great many years presented so fearful
an amount of charges of murder as on this occasion ; and
Mr. Baron Bramwell, who presided as the judge on the
Home Circuit for the first time since his elevation to the
bench, in discharging the jury on the last day of the
assizes, took occasion to advert to the dreadful character
of the cases the jury had had to consider, and expressed
a hope at the same time that if he should meet them
again at any future circuit it would be under less pain-
ful circumstances. The unfortunate prisoners Mansell
and Redanies—the former of whom was convicted of the
murder of the corporal of the 49th Regiment, in which
he was serving as a private, under most aggravated cir-
cumstances, and the latter of whom, it will be remem-
bered,pleaded guilty to the charge of murdering a young
woman named Caroline Back, and who was tried and
convicted upon a second charge of murdering; her sister
Maria at the same time—still remain in Maidstone
awaiting their sentence. The former prisoner seems to
have entertained a hope that he would not be convicted
of murder, and anticipated that the jury would only
have convicted him of manslaughter, and he at first
seemed a good deal cast down at the result. He soon,
however, rallied, and as he is evidently a determined,
resolute young man, and very similar in appear-
' ance to Marley, who was executed for the Parlia-
ment-street murder, there is no doubt that he will meet
his fate with firmness. He had served for ten years in
the 49th Regiment, and remained with it during the
whole of the campaign in the Crimea, and it is melan-
choly to reflect that a dispute about a paltry pair of
boots, which the prisoner believed the unfortunate de-
ceased had in some manner improperly dealt w►th, should
have led to so fatal a result. The other wretched man,
Dedea Redanies, has excited a good deal of commisera-
tion and sympathy by his unassuming and inoffensive
demeanour and conduct since he has been in the prison.
He is, it appears, a Servian by birth, and formerly pro.
fessed the Mahomeda❑ religion, but he has abjured that
religio❑ and professes Christianity. He is rather an illi-
terate Man, and the language he speaks is a sort of
bastard German, very difficult to be understood, except
by natives of the district. He never appears to have
denied his guilt, and it would seem from what has occurred
since his trial that his intention was to plead guilty to
both charges of murder, and that he has never enter-
tained the slightest hope of escaping, and that he has all
along been prepared for the inevitable consequence of his
crime. When he was first sent to Maidstone gaol he
had only just recovered from the effects of the serious
wound he inflicted upon himself at the time he was
taken into custody ; but since his confinement he has
become very stout, and so much improved in his general
appearance that some of the witnesses could hardly
recognise him. Friday next has been • fixed for the
execution.

THE MURDERER REDANIES.

CANTERBURY, DEC. 20.

As another proof of the singular character of this man
—already shown in the letters he wrote to the mother of
his victims on the morning after the murder—we have
been favoured with the sight of a little memento he
gave to a man appointed to watch over him, and which
consists in a pencil drawing of the murder. It is done
on a sheet of common note paper, and is divided into
two scenes, representing respectively the murder of
each girl. On the one side is seen the figure of a
female lying on the ground under a palm tree, with blood
issuing from two wounds in her bosom, while above is
the representation of an angel, who is supposed to be
carrying away the soul of the girl to heaven. The
rising sun is depicted in the back ground ; and as the
murder was committed shortly before five o'clock, this
is probably a faithful representation of the facts. There
is an inscription underneath of "Farewell, my dear
Maryia—Dedea Redanies." On the other half of the
sheet of note paper is the representationd of theree death
of Caroline, the murderer's sweetheart ; an h the
girl is drawn as leaning upon a soldier (him-elf), who
had his left arm round her waist, and his right hand
in hers, "bidding her an eternal farewell," as the pri-
soner himself expressed it. Blood is issuing from
wounds in the bosom ; on the ground is seen the knife,
covered with blood, while above is the palm tree and
angel, as in the other case. There is the inscription,
" Death of Caroline Back, from Dedea Redanies, of
3d August, 1856," and " Farewell, my dear Caroline."
Both drawings are extremely well done, considering
the unfavourable nature of the materials at the pri.
soner's command, while there is quite a pre-Raphaelite
minuteness of detail. Of Ihe prisoner himself, since
his conviction, there is little to report. He has slept
and eat well, and exhibits the greatest unconcern at
his approaching fate. Previous to his trial he would
frequently revert to the subject of his crime, and the
consequences be anticipated ; and when shown a ring,
which he made of his own hair, he exclaimed, "Of
no use—no use. Me will hang in September."

MODE OF "DRIVING .ADITS."

At the Government Scheel of Mines an interesting lec-
ture on the mole of " driving adits" was delivered by Mr.
Warington Smyth. The lecturer stated that, in previous
lectures, ho had pointed out the method in which lodes
were generally opened ; in these he had told them bow, on
several occasions, the capricious nature of the mineral de-
posits often deceived the miner. In driving a level they
often experienced a great difficulty in keeping to the lode.
The deposits were generally varying in character; some-
times they were rich, and at other periods they became
poor and impoverished • often, in following the lode
when it took a bond, 'the miners carried on a Lsvel
straight with the anticipation of intersecting it at
some further point. Very often the lode would split
into small branches, and the miners, instead of fol-
lowing the main lode, would prosecute the work-
ing of these small strings until they were entirely exhausted.
In large lodes, where this was generally the case, the miners
often went not through the lode, but by the side of it, and
at different distances drove cross-cuts, in order to obtain
the ore. Several diagrams of lodes under different aspects
were shown. Much depended upon the accuracy of mea-
surement ; and in one mine in Wales, where a shaft had
been sunk to make a junction with au adit level, owing to
mistake in the calculation of a few feet the mine was
abandoned. In mountainous countries, and where there
were valleys of great depth, it was always considered
more advantageous to drive levels. In ancient times,
where they had not sufficient machinery, and before
steam power was known, and the amount of time not
of so much consideration as now, edits were more gene-
rally driven than they are at present. The Gwennap
adit, though it is only at a depth of from 30 to 40 fms.,
has been considered of great advantage to that rich dis-
trict, is from 30 to 40 miles in length. In several districts
in the north of England it is considered that greater faci-
lities are given to workings by having edits. At Alston
Moor it is common to look out for a valley contiguous to
the mine, and some edits there are commenced at distances
varying from Ito 1i miles from the mine. In Derbyshire
companies are especially got up for the purpose of driving
adits, which are there technically called " soughs."
In Derbyshire there is annually about 50,000 tons of load
raised. The mines there are not so symmetrically or con-
tinuously worked as in our western districts. The miners
there descend and extract the ore at different periods, when
not otherwise engaged. The water that comes from the
surface, so rapidly percolates through the rock, that it is
nearly all dry, and the water runs off through the sough.
The miners there are in general so poor, they have not capi-
tal sufficient to drive a sough for each mine, and compa-
nies are formed for the purpose of unwatering several, and
these are paid by fixed dues from each. To a certain depth
the layers of limestone in the lead districts of Derbyshire
were free from water, but beyond this the water rises ra-
pidly, and, consequently, it was an imperative necessity
that they should have adits. At one mine, although they
had used hydraulic pumps of from 30 to 40 inch diameter,
they had not been Able to fork the nine, so rapidly had the
water risen. In many parts of the world these adits were
very large. In the Hartz Mountains there was one which
was used as a subterranean canal, and was navigated by
boats. The deep George adit there (so named from one of
our sovereigns) was 13 miles in length. There were several
deep edits at Freiberg, in Saxony, and it was now proposed
to drive one from the Elbe, in the district of Meissen,
famous for its porcelain manufactory, a distance of
20 miles in length, in order to unwater the deep mines
of that district; this would be about 20 miles in length,
and had to be driven nearly the whole distance through
hard gneiss. At Schmenita, in Hungary, they were now
driving deeper adits under the old ones, In the Alston
Moor district they always endeavoured to choose con-
genial strata for driving, as much time and expense would
be spared by having a favourable rock to go through ; if,
after removing the gravelly detritus, they came to lime-
stone, they were aware how much more costly that would
• be than if they went through shale or anything of a similar
nature. In railway tunnels, where time was an important
object, they generally set a pair of men at both ands, and
at distances commenced sinking shafts, in order that they
might work several ends at the same time; this has like-
wise been done at the deep George shaft.
In the valley of Hodritsch, in the Schmenzitz district,
between the Zipser and Siglisberg shaft, the latter of
which is productive, and the former only used for
ventilation, there is between them a ridge of hills,
about 1,600 fathoms in length. A diagram was shown
of the manner in which this long level is being
driven, as well as the modes, by sinking winzes, of taking
off the water and obtaining ventilation. In the Alston
Moor district great attention is paid to where the adit is
to be placed, so as to secure it from floods, or in any way
being inundated. In the mines of the Tyrol, where there is
occasionally danger from avalanches, the miners endeavour
so to place the mouth that it cannot be choked up by the
falling of one of these destructive instruments of Nature.
Boggy or marshy land should be avoided, as it must be
borne in mind that the adit is not only for the purpose of
unwatering the mine, but it is likewise required for ven-
tilation; and, if possible, the mouth should face the pre-
vailing wind of the district, and great care should be taken
to support the adit, so as to protect the men who are at
work. One of the greatest items of expenditure in min-
ing was timber, and a due economy should be used
in the exercise of this. Wood, larger 'than neces-
sary, should never be employed. The amount of pressure
cannot always be accurately told ; this is different in large
lodes, and where they are in a slanting direction, and here
they require peculiar care in placing them. In purchasing
timber, there are three great questions to be considered—
strength of wood, power of resisting decay, and price ; it
should be of such a quality as to resist fracture, pressure
in a vertical direction, or extension. When they had to
deal with large mines, as in the colonies, Wales, and the
coal measures, it was best to employ the timber of the dis-
trict. In Cornwall, which was almost denuded of wood,
the timber used was imported from abroad ; several varie-
ties of fir were used, spruce, as web as larch, this last being
considered the best. The Scotch fir, pinus sylvestrie, were
not so much esteemed in Cornwall ; although it was in
great favour in Ireland, and used there by Cor-
nish-men, who it might be supposed would have
a prejudice against it. Oak was generally con•
sidered the first as regarded strength and durability.
and small poles of it were used for prop wood. Beech and
birch had been made available in mountainous districts,
qut had been found brittle. In some of the southern
countries of Europe, Spanish chesnut was known to answer.
Interesting experiments had been tried in the French coal
mines, on the respective merits of accacia and the black
and white oak, and the result had been greatly in favour
of the accacia, this having stood for a considerably longer
period than the others.
Mr. WARRINGTON SMYTH alluded to the defective state
of our mining plans in general, and a handsome and well
executed plan of the Schemnitz district was shown, point-
ing out the various lodes accurately and distinctly. A
section of a mine was then exhibited, which, instead of
being in lines, as is generally practised in England, showed
where the lodes had been richer poor, where they were tim-
bered or arched, as well as the strata through which they
had passed. One of the works he could recommend to his
pupils was that of Mr. Sopwith, on isometrical perspective,
this being very useful to the student. The lecturer con-
cluded by pointing out the necessity of working, not only
with regard to the rules that might be defined, but to make
available all the local advantages that presented themselves
in pursuing mining operations.
