CHARGE OF MURDER.

At Lambeth Police Court, yesterday, Mr. Wm. Day, a
feeble old man, in the 85th year of his age, and who has been
for upwards of half a century a poulterer in Leadenhall-
market, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Elliott, and charged
on suspicion with having caused the death of his wife, a fe-
male 63 years of age.
From the evidence of Sergeant Kearney, 26 P, and other
witnesses, it appeared the prisoner and his wife had lived
apart for nearly twenty years, and that the litter, who was a
person of extremely eccentric habits, occupied the house No.
1, Little South-street, Camberwell, and supported herself by
a small income and a weekly allowance from her husband.
It had been her custom for some years past to call upon her
husband at the market every Saturday evening to receive
her allowance, but not calling on Saturday last her husband
proceeded to her house on Sunday to learn the cause, and
knocked several times, but could not obtain admittance.
On Monday evening he called a second time, and knocked
for admittance, but without success, and he then mentioned
to some neighbours his suspicion that his wife was dead,
as she had latterly been complaining of illness. The door
was, in consequence, forced open, and the place was found
in great confusion, but no trace could be discovered of
the deceased. On Tuesday evening a more minute search
was made, when the body of the deceased was discovered
crouched up in a small mass behind some rabbit-hutches, a
place into which it was the opinion of the police and all who
saw it, she could not have got herself. On the removal and
examination of the body, several marks of violence were
found upon it ; the neck was discovered to be broken, and
one of the stockings was on.
Mrs. Burlington, who lived next door to the deceased,
said she saw the prisoner at the residence of the deceased on
Tuesday week, and on the following days—namely, Wed-
nesday and Thursday, she saw the deceased at her window.
On Sunday last the witness again saw the prisoner at the
house of the deceased, and observed that he had knocked se-
veral times. She told him that it was her opinion that Mrs.
Day was out, and he then left. On the Monday afternoon
the prisoner came again, and having knOcked at the door
and receiving no answer, he expressed it to be his opinion
that his wife was dead. On Friday night last witness heard

T URKE Y.

A letter from Constantinople, of the 18th ult., in the
Augsburg Gazette, says:—" Some time ago a Greek, re-
siding at Psammatia, one of the faubourgs of Constanti-
nople, embraced Protestanism. A charivari was given
to him, and his windows were broken. Sir Stratford
Canning having been informed of this, took the
Greek under his protection, and caused the Otto-
man Porte to arrest the leaders of the disturbance.
M. de Titoff, the Russian Minister, on the contrary, de-
clared himself in their favour, and caused them to be
set at liberty. Sir Stratford Canuing was very much
dissatisfied, and demanded that the Ottoman Porte should
nominate a spiritual chief. fur the Protestants. To this
the Porte consented, and nominated a Protestant pa-
triarch. This measure is equal to an official recognition
of the Protestants."

SEAMAN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY.

Yesterday atternoon the 30th general meeting of this
excellent charity was held at the society's offices, 74,
King William-street, City, J. Labouchere, EFq , in the
chair. The annual report, read by the secretary, stated
that although, happily, there bad I:if en no cholera or
special epidemic, the hospital had never proved more
useful than during the past year. The committee were
happy to report that, owing to the thorough cleaning
of the Dreadnought, the sanitary condition of the hos-
pital had been much improved. The question as to the
right of the society to penalties imposed by the Mer-
chant Seaman's Act bad been materially affected by
the Mercantile Marine Bill of last session. By this new
Bill all penalties formerly made payable to the society
are now paid to the Board of Trade, which pays to
the society annually a sum not exceeding 1,1501. This
alteration set at rest the question pending between the
corporation of Liverpool and the society, and the
dispute now only involved the sum in the hands of the
corporation, arising from their receipts under the Mer-
chant Seamen's Act, which it was considered expedient,
if possible, to compromise, rather than pursue a pro.
tracted litigation. Negotiations were now going on
likely to conclude the matter satisfactorily. The corn
mittee acknowledged with thanks the receipt of a legacy
of 1,1661. from the late Colonel Perches, and others to
the amount of 128/. from different benevolent indivi-
duals; they saw, however, with regret, that the income
of the society from annual subscriptions was gradually
diminishing. The number of patients admitted into the
hospital last year was 2,274; out-patients for the same
period, 1,528. The annual receipts trom all sources, in-
cluding 2,7554 interest upon stock, amounted to 8,146/.
9s. 9d., while the expenditure for the same period was
8,583/. 14s. 6d., showing a balance against the society of
4371. 4s. 9d.

This zeport was received and adopted, and the usual
election of officers for the ensuing year having taken
place, the meeting separated, alter a vote of thanks to
the chairman.

His Grace the Duke of Wellingion visited the
Exhibition building again yesterday. His Grace looked

parture.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Mr. Douglas Jerrold's excellent drama of Black-eyed Susan
was revived at this house last night, and the peculiar scenery
and grouping were managed with a great deal of care. But
the chief feature of the piece was the performance of William
by Mr. Davenport. Less nautical in his manner than Mr.
T. P. Cooke, this gentleman had, nevertheless, a thorough
command over the sympathies of his audience, and this is
the great point with a drama addressed to the feelings. His
hilarity is hearty and unaffected ; his pathos is manly and
genuine; and, as an additional quality, he looks the part to
perfection. That here and there his movements become
somewhat artificial, is not a fault. Part of the piece is car-
ried on in pantomimic dumb-show, and this requires a formal
mode of action. From the beginning to the end of the piece
he was applauded not only by the hands, but by the audible
mirth and visible tears of his public; and when it was as-
certained that the model sailor was not to be strung from the
yard-arm, the delight expressed was as if he had been a
personal friend of everybody present. Miss A. Vining, who
played Black-eyed Susan, is a young actress of pleasing ap-
pearance and manners.

TAI T'S.

"A Loose Tile—the Hat of the Future," is an
amusing dissertation upon the evils and annoyances of
the present style of head-gear, contrasted with the
beneficent effects of the change expected in " the ,
good time coming." How great will be the benefits
of the alteration perhaps the most inveterate bat-haters
will be surprised to learn, e. g. :
" The effect of the change upon society may be ex-
pected to be considerable. It will be no small thing to
have abrogated an evil of daily and perpetual occurrence
to every man. In all public places the difference will be
conspicuous; crowds will always be good-humoured,
congregations will be more attentive, audiences at
theatres and concerts will be more capable of enjoyment
and more urbane to each other. The recollection of
pleasant dreams and agreeable parties will not be em-
bittered by the loss of the hat, or the substitution of an
o!cl one for a new; for every one will have something
which may be easily carried in the pocket when not
upon the head. A better style of public speaking may
be anticipated, which will also have the advantage of
being addressed to less impatient, because less uncom-
fortable hearers. Kindlier feelings, less selfishness,
greater mutual confidence, more desire and larger oppor-
tunity of doing good may be expected on all occasions
when men meet together; and the whole world of
Europe will walk abroad, redeemed, regenerated, and
disenthralled by the irresistible genius of Hat-Emanci-
pation."

ROYAL MARINE CADETS.
By an Admiralty memorandum of March 23, 1843, it was
ordered that—
" Each marine cadet will be expected to give security for
the payment of such sum to the Accountant-General of the
Navy as may be fixed upon him."
And by a notes bene to the above memorandum, dated Sept.
20, 1843, it was ordered that—
" Each cadet on presenting himself for examination on
board her Majesty's ship Excellent, should be prepared with
a sum not less than 401. for outfit; and 101. for mess, wash-
ing, and other expenses."
The following new regulation has, however, now been
made, namely:—
"In future, every young gentleman on whom it is intended
to confer a commission as second lieutenant in the corps of
Royal Marines, will be required to deposit with the Account-
ant General of the Navy the sum of 801., to cover the ex-
pense of his first outfit.'

The Stadtholderate has published the following
proclamation announcing their resignation :

KIEL, FEB. 1.
"Fellow-countrymen,—Called upon by the German
great powers, in the name of the German Cunfederation,
and pursuant to the resolution of the States of the 11th
January last, the Stadtholderate has arranged the transfer
of the Government confided to it by the German Central
Power to a Government to be appointed by the German
Conf,deration. What was required of it is now done.
The Stadtholderate has placed its power in the hands of
the Commissioners of the German Conf?deration.

" The objects sought to be attained by the late con-
test are to be aoc, mplished by peaceful means.
"The German Coutederation will protect the rights
and interests of the country, and the ancient customary
relations between Holstein and Schleswig, and after de-
termining such relations return the country into the
hands of our lawful ruler. It is just this end for which
we have striven from the commencement of this contest.
" People of Schleswig-Holstein,—The Stadholderate
thanks you fur having stood truly and faithfully by it
in good and evil days; tor having preserved your repu-
tation for the observance of law and order up to this
very day. Preserve it turther; aid the peaceable settle-
ment; pay thenceforth willing obedience to the appointed
g.ivernment authority.

faith to be put to shame. He will i❑ the end bring the
cause of our dt ar country to a happy issue.

PEOPLES JOURNAL.

The People's Journal contains as usual an agreeable
variety. The interesting "Wanderings and Ponder-
ings of an Autumnal Excursionist" are brought to a
conclusion in this number. The following remarks
on " Literary Frauds" deserve circulation :
" With mingled feelings of regret and indignation,
we have lately observed a species of petty larceny
growing into extensive practice among certain pretenders
to literary honours, and which, though unrecognised by
the law, is not less worthy of the severest reprehension
and punishment. We allude to a systematic robbery of
the works of others, committed by those who have not
the talent to produce similar effusions, nor honesty suf-
iicient to enable them to resist the temptation of decking
themselves with the plumes they so unscrupulously bor-
row. No editor of a periodical can help occasionally
being imposed upon by some ambitious and unscrupu-
lous would-be contributor; and the last instance in which
we have fallen a victim to this fraudulent assumption, and
which has elicited these remarks, is the appearance in
our Journal for January 25th, of a ' Sonnet to Galileo,'
which we received from one James Ward as the author,
and printed with his signature attached. A correspond-
ent has pointed out to us this sonnet as being the recog-
nised and unquestionable production of Mr. William
Charles Kent, the gifted author of Aletheia; or the
Doom of Mythology,' and numerous other works which
have received the stamp of public approbation. The son-
net appears in the volume (page 156) published by
Longman, in the spring of last year, and originally ap-
peared (August, 1845,) in the columns of a periodical now
discontinued, and from which it was doubtless extracted
by the pretender who has sought through us to pass it
off as his own. Whilst thus-making the only reparation
in our power, transferring the credit of the authorship to
the writer who has the sole claim to it, we feel it neces-
sary to want those who may attempt any fraud of this
kind that we shall not scruple to brand them with the
4ichering scorn that a public exposure may direct
towards them, auel they may rest assured that detection
is as certain as the contempt that must accompany it is
enduring."

THE LEAD.

39. Best lead from sequences of three or more, the
highest : second best from the most numerous suit.
40. With a few small trumps, a single card.
41. Better lead from a suit headed by king or
queen, than ace, and let your adversary lead the
latter, in which case the ace will do them most harm.
42. I have six trumps, I remain with four, the best
in adversary's hand ; I lead a small trump.
43. Trump out, i. e. lead trumps—first, with six
trumps ; secondly, when partner has a strong suit;
thirdly, if adversaries play from weak suits ; fourthly,
if strong in other suits though weak in trumps.
44. When partner has no more trumps lead trumps
in order to take two for one. Lead through an
honour when strong in trumps or the game bad.
Partner turns up an honour, lead a small, if strong ;
if weak, your best. Queen turned up on right, lead
king ; knave turned up, lead queen.
45. I have last trumps (ur I and my partner)
winning cards and a losing one—l lead the latter; if
no winning cards, a trump.
46. Show your strong suits before you lead
trumps.
47. Generally speaking, ace and honours in trumps
(or in other suits if strong in trumps), lead a small,
(vide 10). If weak in trumps, the ace.
48. Ace, king, and knave : the king, and stop.
Your partner returns, and you finesse the knave.
(This is reckoned old fashioned, and in a numerous
suit will not do).
49. Ace queen, or ace knave, a small, except it is
a numerous suit. But avoid this lead, for these cards
give you tenace, fourth hand. Ace ten is more
likely to give tenace than ace nine ; therefore prefer
leading from the latter.
50. Ace, king, and three trumps, a small, that
partner may make a trick.
51. King, queen, &c., in trumps (or if strong in
trumps) a small; otherwise the king. In a numerous
suit not trumps, the king.
52. Lead 9 or 10 only when best of a weak suit
of 3 or less : or from sequence to king: or 9, 10,
knave, king.

CITY TRADE REPORT, JULY 25.

The languid feeling which has characterised the busi-
ness all the week was still more perceptiLle to-day, the
sales being only reported at 500 bales.
Breadstuff's— The flour market was not quite so active
to-day, 3et prices remained steady. The main inquiry
was for domestic consumption. But little was wanted
for shipment.
Coti'te—A fair demand.

Freights—Rates to Liverpool were heavy. There
was a fair amount of flour and grain offering, but at low
figures. 6,000 bushels of corn were take❑ at 40.; flour
was offered at Is., but Is. Id. to 19. 2d. wa' oemanded;
cotton was at about id., with some late engagements at
4s. per bale. To London some flour was taken at Is. 9d.
A vessel was taken up to load at Calais, Blaine, with
lumber for Buenos Ayres, at thirteen dolts. per thousand.
To Glasgow some oil was taken on terms not stated.
There was no change to other ports.
Tallow—Prime was not very plenty, and we heard of
5,0001b5. being sold at 7c., cash.

Tobacco—Very little has transpired in domestic since
Friday last. The declining tendency is still visible, and
the stock large. Foreign is the most easily sold, and is
comparatively steady.
Wool—The market is still depressed, and there is a
heavy and increasing stock, with little or no demand.
Only about 100 bales Mediterranean were sold this
week—terms private. Domestic is accumulating. Pulled
is very dull. A sale of 2,722 bales Peruvian wool is
to take place by auction in Baltimore, on the 30th inst.
It is a cargo of direct importation, and o superior
quality.

SPEECH.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
I am glad to be able to release you from your
attendance in Parliament, and I thank you for the
diligence with which you have performed your labo-
rious duties.

I continue to maintain the most friendly rela-
tions with Foreign Powers.
I am happy to be able to congratulate you on
the very considerable diminution which has taken
place in the African and Brazilian slave
trade. The exertions of my squadrons on the coasts
of Africa and Brazil, assisted by the vigilance of
the cruizers of France and of the United States,
and aided by the co-operation of the Brazilian Go-
vernment, have mainly contributed to this result.
GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS,
I thank you for the readiness with which you
have granted the supplies necessary for the service of
the year.
MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
It is satisfactory to observe that notwithstanding
very large reductions of taxes, the revenue for the
past year considerably exceeded the public expendi-
ture for the same period.
I am rejoiced to find that you have thereby been
enabled to relieve my people from an impost which
restricted the enjoyment of light and air in their
dwellings. I trust that this enactment, with others
to which your attention has been and will be directed,
will contribute to the health and comfort of my
subjects.

I thank you for the assiduity with which you
have applied yourselves to the consideration of a
measure framed for the purpose of checking the un-
due assumption of ecclesiastical titles conferred by
a foreign power.
It gives me the highest satisfaction to find that,
while repelling unfounded claims, you have main-
tained inviolate the great principles of religious liberty,
so happily established among us.
The attention you have bestowed on the admi-
nistration of justice in the Courts of Law and
Equity, will, I trust, prove . beneficial, and lead to
further improvements.
I have willingly given my consent to a Bill re-
lating to the Administration of the Land Revenues
of the Crown, which will, I hope, conduce to the
better management of that department, and at the
same time tend to the promotion of works of public
utility.

It has been very gratifying to me on an
occasion which has brought many foreigners
to this country, to observe the spirit of kindness
and good-will which so generally prevailed.
It is my anxious desire to promote among na-
tions the cultivation of all those arts which are fos-
tered by peace, and which in their turn contribute to
maintain the peace of the world.
In closing the present Session, it is with
feelings of gratitude to Almighty God that I ac-
knowledge the general spirit of loyalty and willing
obedience to the law which animates my people.
Such a spirit is the best security at once for the pro-
gress and the stability of our free and happy institu-
-1 tions.

CITY TRADE REPORT, JULY 25.

The languid feeling which has characterised the busi-
ness all the week was still more perceptible to-day, the
sales being only reported at 500 bales.
Breadstuffs— The flour !mu-het was not quite so active
to-day, yet prices remained steady. The main inquiry
was for domestic consumption. But little was wanted
for shipment.
Coffee—A fair demand.

Freights—Rates to Liverpool were heavy. There
was a fair amount of flour and grain offering, but at low
figures. 6,000 bushels of corn were taken at 41d.; flour
was offered at Is., but Is. Id, to Is. 2d. was demanded;
cotton was at about id., with some late engagements at
4s. per bale. To London some flour was taken at is. 9d.
A vessel was taken up to load at Calais, Maine, with
lumber for Buenos Ayres, at thirteen dolls. per thousand.
To Glasgow some oil was taken on terms not stated.
There was no change to other ports.
Tallow—Prime was not very plenty, and we heard of
5,0001b5. being sold at 7c., cash.

Tobacco—Very little has transpired in domestic since
Friday lust. The declining tendency is still visible, and
the stock large. Foreign is the most easily sold, and is
comparatively steady.
Wool—The market is still depressed, and there is a
heavy and increasing stock, with little or no demand.
Only about 100 bales Mediterranean were sold this
week—term► private. Domestic is accumulating. Pulled
is vary dull. A sale of 2,722 bales Peruvian wool is
to take place by auction in Baltimore, on the 30th inst.
It is a cargo of direct importation, and o superior
quality.

GERMANY.

A letter from Berlin, 3d instant, says :—" It is
certain that the projects of Austria to enter, with all
her states, into the Confederation, and that of Prussia
to take out of it her Prussian provinces and Posen, are
only up to this time wishes expressed by these two
Governments, and although it appears to be wished to
remain ignorant of the protests of France and Eng-
land against these projects, it is not the less true
that there is no intention of disregarding them.
France and England have not yet replied to the last
resolution of the Federal Diet, which rejected their
protests, but no idea is entertained that these two
powers will abandon their decision. Some doubt is
felt as to whether the Germanic Diet has resolved to
suppress gambling establishments in the different
states of Germany. The Government has given
orders for an inquiry to be instituted into the cause
of the diminution in the consumption of salt during
the present year."

DENMARK AND TH►E DUCHIES.
The Prussian Gazette, under date of Copenhagen,
the 3:1, says :
" The majority of the members of the Assembly of
Notables of Flensburg have adopted the following or-
ganization for the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstei❑ :
" Art. 1. The Danish monarchy forms one united na-
tion, under the same prince, with the same order of
succession, with one diplomatic and consular repre-
sentation, and one fleet and flag. One system of com-
merce, navigation, coins, &c., shall be established. The
sinking-fund of the public debt of Denmark and Hol-
stein shall take place, and the portion for Holstein shall
be fixed according to the population.
" Art. 2. The Duchy of Holstein shall continue to
form part of the Germanic Confederation.
" Art. 3. When the affairs which interest the whole
of the monarchy are discussed in the Council of State
the Holstein Minister shall have a deliberative vote in the
Council. _ _

" Art. 4. The Duchy of Schleswig shall have a spe-
cial Diet, and a subordinate administration fur certain
affairs. In other cases it shares in the system of Den-
mark. For ordinary affairs, Denmark and Schleswig
will have the same Government and the same laws.

" Art. 6. The Danish and German people in the
Duchies will enjoy the same rights and the same pro-
tection.
" Art. 7. The affairs of Schleswig and Holstein, which
have hitherto been iu common, will be henceforth se-
parate.
" Art. 8. No change can be made in the above regula-
tions except with the consent of the Legislative power.
" Art. 9. The Duchy of Lauenbourg shall continue to
belong to the Germanic Confederation.
" The provisions of Art. 1 also apply to that Duchy;
as to affairs which are not common to all the Monarchy
the Duchy shall have its administration and special
Diet. The latter will exercise the Legislative power
with the King."

ITALY.

A correspondent of the Lombardo Veneto of Milan
gives the following account of the positions which
General GaMEAU has taken up at Borne. He has
concentrated all his troops on the right bank of the
Tiber, leaving only half a battalion at La Pilotta, for
the defence of tie French embassy. The military
occupation extends from the Castle St. Angelo to the
Porta Portese, at the other extremity of the Janicu-
l-s. Thus the French army is situated between the
Tiber and the most important fortifications of Rome.
