THE ALLEGED Iti URDBR OF A MOTHER
AND HER CHILD 1N SURREY.

KINGSTON, SATURDAY, JAN. 26.
If having been appointed that the two prisoners, Ford
and JaPkson, were to be again brought up for examina-
tion bef ,re the bench of magistrates sitting in the Grand
charge of wilfully murder-
jiry
irgl‘lll::rnni Mary Ann day,i oneacoc the charge
her daughter Eliza, by
drowning them in the River Thames, caused an immense
conc,urse of persons to assemble round the court-house,
and it required the services of a strong body of police,
un 'er Inspectors Rapsey and Murtell, to keep a suffi-
cient space clear for the magistrates and others having
business to transact in the court to pass along.
Mr. Beavitt, from Mr. Neale's office, York-row, Ken-
nington-road, a'tended to defend the pri-oner Ford;
Mr. Littlewood again attended to defend the prisoner
Jackson.

The magistrates present were Messrs. H. Westcar,
chairman, Beckford, and Sims. The only additional
evidence produced to-day was from Maria Bish, who in
cross-examination said that she thought Hanimerton was
not working at the barges on the night Mrs. Peacock
asked witness to go on board with her and have some
supper. She believed that Ford and deceased became
friendly a little before Christmas, and she had told him
that Ford was very kind to her, and had frequently sup-
plied her with money.
The witness Glazer, who was examined the previous
day before the coroner, on being cross-examined to-day,
said it would have been much easier for Ford to get home
on shore by passing over the plank than by taking a boat
when he went to call Jackson. He did not hear any one
in Jackson's barge during the night, neither did he hear
any one fall overboard. No one could have seen deceased
at the time in the cabin.

Inspector Rapsey gave in the statement which the pri-
soners had made on the Jay they were apprehended, is
which Ford denied that he knew Mrs. Peacock, and
that neither she nor any other fentale had been on board
the barge with him, either going or returning from Lon-
don, and that he went on board Burns's tug two hours
after ten o'clock. In cross-examination he said it was
impossible for any one to have seen the deceased and
her child in the cabin at the early hour that Hammerton
had stated he hid.

The Bench. after consulting the chairman, inquired of
the prisoners whether they had anything to say, and,
heist_ answered in the negative, Jackson was discharged,
but Ford was fully committed to take hia trial at the
ensuing as,izes. The bench, in answer to an applica-
tion from Mr. Beavitt, refused to take bail, alleging that
the offence was of too serious a nature to accept bail.
The witneAsea were then bound over to appear and
give evidence against Ford at his trial, when the pro-
ceedings terminated shortly before five in the even-
ing.

ship, Royal Charter, Captain Boyce, which left Liver-
pool on the 18th inst., with mails and passengers for
Melbourne, put back to Plymouth Sound this morning.
She has proved too stiff at sea, from having ton..pouch
ballast, part of which will probably be discharged here.
Her covering boards require caulking.

CONSTAN rINOPLE, JAN. 14.
The more the particulars of the rupture between the
British mission at Teheran and the CLturt of Persia be-
come known, the more the opinion is gaining ground
that Mr. Murray's retreat was precipitate. Tnis
up to a certain point, to be attributed to the circum-
stances under which be assumed his post. Its predeces-
sors bad succeeded, by their meddling and vexatious
policy, in alienating most completely the sentiments of
the. Persians, and had left him in the difficult dilemma
either to espouse their quarrels, or see to break entirely
with the traditions of the mission and begin altogether
new line of policy. 'Without a previous knowledge of
the country, or any one to advise him, it was difficult,
if not impossible, to adopt the latter alternative, espe-
cially as he was surrounded by those who had not only
taken an active part in the past policy, but had essen•
tially contributed to form it.

The first reason put forward by the Persian Govern
went against the appointment of Mirza H.ashim aas
that he had not been reyularly disini-sed from the office
which he had held before, and that., co sevently, he
be'onged still to the Shah's Court, and, as a Persian
empbiyat was incapab e of Dieting as an English agent.
Havin,e taken up this giound, the Persians endeavoured
all along to give to the affair a domestic c'etracter, and
to maintain that the appointment was an interference
with the internal affairs of the Persian Court, t r which
the mite belonged both by his position and his marriage.
The arrest of the lady is a proof of this. Not being
able to t ruck the hu ba,d, who ha taken refuge at the
BrEish missimi, his wife was carried off by the family.
It aas not the Persian Government, but her brother,
who took leq. away. In Oriental eountries a woman by
marrying does not entirely cease to be a member of her
famiy ; the tatter is still supposed to watch over her.
This is much more the case when a Princess marries.
Then it is rather the husband who becomes a member of
the wife's family. So as to the right which the brother
had aecording to Or.ental custom to carry off Mirza
flashim's wife there Call be no doubt, and it is only the
time chosen for the execution of this intention and the
manner in which it was done which are open to objection.
It shows the animus of the Persian Court that, having
ignored the lady's escapades before, it chose just the
moment when the quarrel about the appointment of her
husband was pending to allow, or very likely to prompt,
her brother to use his family right. Besides, the lady
wag carried off from her tent, which was pitched near
the house of the Embassy, which added to the grievance.
Another proof which the Persian Court gave of its
intention to look at the matter as an interference in in•
ternal affairs was that the Shah himself, who never
openly interferes in anything connected with Go; era-
ment, wrote t sai autograph lett,'rs to Mr. Murray on
thesubject. They were written when Mr. Murray claimed
the restoration of the lady to her husband, and it is an
expression in one of these letters which precipitated the
crisis. Mr. Murray, or rather, his interpreters—that is
the peop'e who were the original prompters of the whole
quarrel, by recommending Mirza Ha-him—thought they
perceived in this phrase an allusion to personal motives
in the wish of Mr. Murray to get the lady back. From
that moment the correspondence became more violent
than ever, and the rupture took place.
The following is the Persian official statement, pub-
lished in the Teheran Gazette:—

" The Persian Government, in consequence of the
anxiety produced among the people by the interruption
of the friendly relations between the Court of Teheran
and the British mission, declares, for the tranquillisation
of all abroad and at home, that this circumstance, which
was caused by the strong and dangerous pretensions put
forward by Mr. Mm ray, the British Minister, will not
at all diminish the friendly relations between Persia and
England, or affect in any way the neutrality of the Per-
sian► Court. The neutrality of the latter will remain
firm and unchanged as hitherto, and the remaining
Ministers of the Allied Powers will be the witnesses
that this circumstance has had no effect on the neutra-
lity of the Persian Court."
From this declaration it is clear that there need be
no apprehension of any complication on account of thin
untimely event ; yet the sooner this absurd affair is ar-
ranged the better it will be for all parties ; Constanti-
nople would be, perhaps, the most convenient place to
do this.

I wrote to you about establishing a well•organisod
police in Pera, of which the necessity makes itself every
moment more and rnsre felt. I hear the English, French,
and Sardinian military authorities are quite agreed
about the measures to be taken ; but they find in their
way the same stutnblingblock which the poor Turkish
police long since gave up the idea of surmounting—
namely, the privileges of the Ambassadors, Ministers,
and Charges d'Affaires of a score of great and small
Powers. There would be naturally no difficulty in
making an arrangement with the two great Embassies.
but it would be a flagrant violation of international law
to interfere with the jurisdiction of some Charges
d'Affaires, who would be thus deprived of the only little
authority which they are ever called upon to exercise.
So the matter rests with the diplomatic corps.
On Wednesday last a kind of preliminary conference
took place at the house of the Grand Vizier, Aali Pacha,
about the fourth point—namely, the position and rights
of the ehristiaes in Turkey. The Turkish Government
is said to have taken a very liberal view of the subject,
which gives hopes that this important matter will lead
to a satisfactory result.
Preparations are likewise made for the conferences
about the Danubian Principalities. They will probably
begin in 10 days or a fortnight. As the seven years for
which Prince Stirbey was elected will expire next May,
it is important that matters should be settled before
that period arrives.
Several letters from Rustchuk and Giurgevo speak
of a collision between the Austrian and Turkish soldiers
garrisoning-the latter town, in which two of the former
were killed. - Both garrisons Were called to arms, as the
quarrel threatened to assume a lierioub character. In

But we do not believe that Lord Stratford is
unable to meet this charge ; and, until we hear
further, we shall continue to think him incapable
of so forgetting his country and the duty it de-
manded of him. We entreat attention, meanwhile,
to the following extract from the letter of the cor-
respondent of the Times at Constantinople, which
appeared in that journal on Tuesday last. The
question of course cannot rest here.
"General Williams's letters about the wretched state in
which Kars and in general the defences on the Anato-
lian frontiers were found left no doubt that the invested
town could not hold out or repulse single-handed the
Russian army. Lord Stratford proposed, therefore, to
General Vivian that he should go there with the Con-
tingent. The General willingly acceded to the proposi-
tion, anxious, as he was, to show by a success that the
task which be had undertaken —the formation of the
Turkish Contingent—was feaale ; but before he could
make any arrangements it was necessary to have some
knowledge of the ground on which he was to operate ;
ho sent, therefore, General Smith, late of the Bashi-
Bazouks, to look at it. The report of this latter was
that the force which the C mtingent then numbered—
viz., 8,000 men or se—no succeiaal diversion for the
relief of Kars could be made, General Vivian therefore
applied to Lord Stratford to have the number of the
Contingent raised to 10,000 men, and said that then he
was ready to undertake the task. The Turkish Govern-
ment, to whom the proposition was submitted, made
some difficulties about the completion of the Contin-
gent, but expressed its readiness to place other troops
under the command of General Vivian, or any other
General, so as to make up the number to 35,000 or
40,000 men. This proposation was likewise accepted
by Lord Stratford and General Vivian ; the proposal
was sent home, and repeately urged, but the answer of
the English Government arrived, which was to stop all
proceedings in the matter. Through what influence this
answer was returned we don't know here, but that it
was the English Government from whom the refusal
proc!eded I believe to be a fact.

The position of an ambassador at Constantinople,
let us add, is not always clearly understood. He is
entrusted with largo powers, and is something of a
despot necessarily. Before Lord Stratford's last
return to England, he was sorely perplexed
by the obstinate refusal of the consul-general
of Egypt to adopt his policy or follow his ad-
vice. The cansequence was that British influence
pulled two different ways at Constantinople and at
Alexandria, and the most serious inconveniences
resulted. Having regard to this and other
similar instances, Lord Stratford, we have heard,
refused to return to Constantinople without powers
which he deemed necessary for the maintenance of
his position at Constantinople, and the due per-
formance of its duties. Whether he had reason to
com.dain of the appointment of a military commis-
siou-r to the Asiatic army of Turkey, we are not
aware. But in any case it will not do to strengthen
an ambassador with one hand and to weaken hi in
with the other. British interests at Kars or at Tre-
bizond will m )st unquestionably be better directed
and cared for by oile strong and experienced diplo-
matist at Constantinople than by a dozen at so
great a distance as Loudon. Care should above
all things be taken not to multiply independent
authorities. These are the jarrings which led to
snob disasters at Sebastopol last year, and to the
disaster we have now to deplore at Kars.
The article in the Quarterly has for its subject
the Results and Prospects of the War. But both
results and prospects have received important mo-
dification even in the brief time that has elapsed
since the publication of the article. The writer
maintains throughout, for example, that Russia
will not stoop to a cession of territory, or to any
real neutralisation of the Black Sea. He may be
right, but it would be hardly civil just now to say
so, and we shall do best perhaps to avoid the gene-
ral and return to the personal question.
The reviewer having summarilyswopt Lord Strat-
ford from his post, declares Sir H. Bulwer unwor-
thy to succeed him, on the ground that he is defi-
cient in an intimate knowledge of the country,
its population, laws, and polity. Undoubtedly
the list of diplomatists who can pretend to such
a post with any claim to such knowledge is ex-
tremely limited ; but with what reason doe: the
Quarterly exclude Sir Henry Bulwer from it ? Is
it not the fact that the only very great change im-
portant to Turkey effected in our time, was, after
repeated failures, accomplished by Sir Henry Bul-
wer when Secretary of Embassy at Constantinople
in 1838? Before the negotiation of the treaty to
which we allude, English commerce was not only
in all respects at a serious disadvantage, but the
Turkish itself was ruined by monopolies and vexa-
tious internal duties. From what but an intimate
knowledge and study of the country (a knowledge
which must have been confirmed and extended by
the duty winch subsequently fell to the same diplo-
matist of conducting in Paris the correspondence in
the Eastern dispute), means of effecting such a
change, adopted since by every European power,
have been obtained by Sir Henry Bulwer. We
doubt if the Quarterly would be disposed to recom-
mend any extension of the experiment of appoint-
ing non diplomatists to diplomatic posts. With
submission we may perhaps add that the few poli-
ticians the Tory ranks pretending to a knowledge
of foreign affairs and countries, do not appear to
inspire much confidence or to have many claims to
consideration. If we apply ostracism,
.then, to
those liberal men who have risen in their profes.
sion by their merit, we shall have no alternative
but to fall back into the old aristocratic rut. The
writer in the Quarterly Review is far too intelligent
and able to approve of any such course.

THE NEWS ON
ENGLAN PEAGE IN
D. FRANCE AND
I

( Front the Examtn- er.)
To judge by the tone of the French press (no very
good criterion certainly, but the tone of all private let-
ters is the same), our neighbours are enraptured at the
"pposed approach of peace ; and it is made a subject of
reproof to us on this side the Channel that we do not dis-
play the same enthusiasm. There are, however, a great
many excuses for the absence of so much ardour of ex-
pectation on our side ; just as there are a great many
undeniable reasons that should fairly render peace at the
present moment, and under the conditions proposed,
more acceptable to the French than to us.
The French have immenselygained bythe present war.
We say it in no spirit of envy, but as a matter of honest
congratulation. Before the war began French influence
had not much weight in the Levant, nor in the eyes of
Eastern nations did France take the rank which was
was really her due. Orientals judge only by events which
have passed in their latitudes, and in this respect our
friends and allies bad been at some disadvantage. Bu
this is no longer the case. France has sent 100,000 men
through the Bosphorus. Their crowded legions have
shown themselves in rapid succession in the port or on
the hills of Constantinople itself. To them has mainly
fallen the glory of the successful storming of Sebastopol.
There is no longer the fear that in any negotiations
affecting national interests in Syria, Egypt, or else-
Where, the Turks-can ever hereafter be indifferent to the
poster and the friendship of the French.
We lay all this without grudging to that great people
