Naval and Military Inteiligeace.

The following circular has been forwarded from the
Horse Guards to all commanding officers of regiments
and depots :
" The savings'-bank business of depot battalions will,
as heretofore, be transacted under the superintendence of
a committee composed as follows, viz.: —The officer com-
manding, the officer second in command, the adjutant,
and, when possible, of the senior officer of each regimental
depot, with the view of training them to the duties of su-
perior rank and to make themselves conversant with the
details of the savings'-bank business by assisting the com-
mittee in preparing the accounts. Thus the existing re-
gulations for regimental savings'-banks will apply equally
to depot battalions in every respect.—By command
" G. A. WETHERALL, Adjutant-General."
Yesterday afternoon the Board of Commissioners from
Chelsea Hospital concluded the inspection of upwards of
200 sick and wounded troops at Chatham, the whole ~f
whom will be discharged from the service as soon as the
amount of each man's pension has been fixed. The
number of invalids stationed at St. Mary's invalid esta-
blishment exceeds 1,000.
Within the last few days a large number of recruits
have arrived at Chatham Garriso", chiefly from the north-
ern districts, for the purpose of joining the depots of the
Bth, 27th Enniskillens, 35th, 431 Light Infantry, 52l
Light Infantry, 53d, 6Vh Rifles, 73th Highlanders,
84th, 87th Royal Irish Fusili-rs, and other Indian Re-
giments,
Major-General Sir W, F. Williams has
been engaged
daily during the past week in the inspection of the Royal
Astillery Schools at Woolwich. The first of a series of
eoneerts, intended to come off during the winter under
the general's immediate patronage, took place last even-
ing for the amusement of the non-commissioned officers
and their families, when fully 1,000 attended, as well as
a goodly number of officers and their friends. The prizes
consisted of mathematical instruments and handsomely
bound professional books to the more deserving non-
commissioned officers, gunners, and trumpeters. General
Williams has been mast minute in his examination ~f
these schools, and has exprsssed his perfect approbatio,
of the efficient manner in which they are conducted. and
which reflects the utmost credit on all the officials. Capt.
Freeth has been unceasing in his efforts for the success
of these establishments, and is ably as-isted by the super-
intendent, Mr. Wharry, and the disinterested zeal of the
chaplains, the Revs. Mr. Scott and Mr. Wright, in the
discharge of this portion of their duty. The object of
this series of concerts is to demonstrate the successful
result of the musical instructions given to the non-com-
missioned officers, men, and boys at the schools during
the past yesr, under the direction of Mr. Smyth, the
bandmaster of the corps.
The screw steam gnardship Ajax, 60, Captain R, S.
Robinson, was hauled out of Koyham-yard on Thurs
day and placed alongside the Be!lona hulk to receive her
crew. After a trial trio she will be placed at her ap-
pointed moorings in Hamnaza.
steainvessel Pluto, thoroughly manned and
stored, is to be inspected this morning at 10 by Commo-
dore Shepherd, superintendent of Woolwich Dockyard.
Lieutenant-Commander W. Swinbnrne yesterday morn-
ing received his charts and final instructions for sea.
The Pluto is well adapted for coasting purposes, and
great caution has been observed in the selection of a
very efficient crew. Her equipment consists of two 32
pounders abaft, one 32-poundcr forward, one pivot gne,
and two brass howitzsr boat guns. She is to proceed to
Greenbithe immediately after inspection to Le adjusted,
after which she will sail for Portsmouth, arid thence fa
her station, the West Coast of Africa.

Her Majesty's 6-gun paddlewheel iron steamer Tri
dent, Commander Close, is in readiness for general in
spection by Commcdore Shepherd to-day. Her comple-
ment of seamen has been chosen with much judgment.
She is to leave Woolvvicb, after the inspection, for
G reenhi; he, in order to be swung, preparatory to putting
to Rea for her destination, which is likewise the We,t
Coast of Africa.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT—MAIDSTONE, DEO. 19.
(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.)
The business of this county was brought to a con-
clusion late last night.
THE MI7RDER BY A FOREIGN SOLDIER.
Dedea Redaniez, 26, a private soldier in the British
Swiss Legion, stationed at Shorncliffe, was indicted for
the wilful murder of Maria Back.
The prisoner, it will be remembered, had also pleaded
guilty to another indictment, charging him with the
wilful murder of Caroline Back, sister to Maria.
Mr. G. Denman and Mr. Papillon conducted the pro-
secution. The prisoner bad no counsel, but, at the
suggestion of the Court, Mr. Barrow kindly undertook
to defend him.
Tne prisoner is a mild, inoffensive, and good-looking
young man. He was seated during the trial, and did
not betray the slightest emotion at any part of the pro-
ceedings.
Mr. Denman, in stating the case for the prosecution,
said that the prisoner had been a private in the Swiss
Legion, in the service of her Majesty, and he was in that
position at the time he committed the serious crimes
with which he was accused. Although on the present
occasion he was only charged with the commission of
one murder, it would be idle, after what had passed in
court, to attempt to conceal from the jury that at the
same time the deceased young woman, Maria Back, met
her death, an elder sister, named Caroline, was also de-
stroyed by the prisoner at the bar, and if he were a re-
, sponsible agent, of which he feared the jury could not,
in the result, entertain any doubt, he was in pointof fact
guilty of two murders. He then proceeded to state that
the deceased girls, who were of the respective ages of 19
and 17, lived with their parents, who were in an humble
position, at Dover, and the prisoner was in the habit of
taking the clothes of the officers of the regiment to their
house to be washed, and by this means an intimacy
~prung up between them, and there could be no doubt
that the prisoner was fondly attached to the elder sister,
Caroline, and it was to be feared that the dreadful deed
tbat he afterwards committed was the result of jealousy.
It appeared that on the evening of the 2d of August
last the prisoner was at the house of the parents of the
deceased, and he proposed tbat Caroline should accom-
pany him on the following morning to Shorncliffe to see
his sister, and it was arranged that both the girls should
accompany him, and they started about half-past 3 on the
following morning to walk there, the distance being about
nine miles. They were all three seen walking together
at a dis•ance of about five miles from Dover at 5 o'clock,
and nothing more was seen of the unfortunate young
women until about nine o'clock, when their bodies
were found lying at a place called Steady Hole, a
sort of hollow a short distance from the Folkestone turn-
pike road. They were both dead, and there were nume-
rous mortal wounds upon both their bodies, and the
capes they had en when they left Dover were taken
from their persons. The prisoner was apprehended on
the following day near Canterbury, a distance of 20 miles
from the spot, having both the capes of the unfortunate
deceased upon his person ; and when the constable
attempted to arrest him, he stabbed himself with a dag-
ger, the same instrument with which, no doubt, the girls
had been destroyed, and inflicted very severe injury upon
his chest, fram which it was a considerable time bel re
he recovered. This, be said, was a short outline of the
facts of the melancholy case he should have to lay before
them, and he apprehended that there would not be the
slightest doubt that the unhappy deceased girl, whose
death was now the subject of inquiry, had met her death
at the hands of the prisoner, and, indeed, he never
seemed to have denied the fact, for almost immediately
after the bloody deed had been perpetrated be wrote a
letter to Mrs. Back, the mother of the deceased, admit-
ticg his crime, and, as it appeared to him, also admitting
that jealousy was the cause of it. The prisoner, he was
happy to say, had the able assistance of his learned friend
Mr. Barrow to conduct his defence, and all that talent
or ingenuity could de would be exercised on his behalf,
but the only defence that could be set up for the prisoner
was that he was not a responsible agent. It appeared to
him, however, that under the circumstances of this case;
it would be a most dangerous precedent to allow a man
who had committed such an awful crime to escape upon
such a ground, and that the jury ought well to consider
all the facts before they came to such a conclusion.

Evidence in support of the above having been given,
Mr. Barrow addressed the jury for the prisoner.
Mr. Baron Bramwell then summed up, and
The jury, after a short deliberatioe, returned a verdict
of guilty.

The learned judge then passed sentence of death in
the usual form.

The prisoner heard the sentence with the same calm
demeanour that had characterised him throughout, and
when his lordst,ip had concluded he walked with a firm
step from the dock.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.—OXFORD, Dec. 19.
(Before Mr. Baron Watson.)
Edward Claridge, aged 27, labourer was found guilty
of attempting to commit an unnatural offence, and was
sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour.
CHILD MURDER AT BANBURY.
Sarah Draper, domestic servant, was charged with the
wilful murder of her male child at Banbury on the 11th
of August last.
The case was of such a nature as to preclude our pub-
li,hing the details, but the simple facts were these:—
The prisoner was in the service of Mr. Timms, solicitor,
at Banbury, and on the 11th of August last was de-
livered of a male child in the privy, where the body was
afterwards found. The prisoner's fellow-servant spoke
to the fact of hearing the cries of a new-born infant,
and having a suspicion that there was something wrong,
apprised her mistress of it, and Mr. Griffin, a surgeon,
was sent for and saw the prisoner in her bedroom, when
she denied 'Lying given birth to a child, but afterwards
admitted that she bad, and that the child bad fallen into
the privy. The body was afterwards found, and a post
mortem examination was made by Mr. Griffin and Mr.
Grimbly, but although they were inclined to think that
it was born alive, they could not speak with any degree
of certainty on that point.
On the conclusion of the evidence for the prosecution,
his lordship stopped the case, and expressed his belief
that there was no evidence to justify the charge either
of wilful murder or of concealing the birth. The jury,
by his lordship's direction, acquitted the prisoner.
The judge fined Mr. T. Paine, the solicitor for the
prosecution, in the mitigated penalty of 405., for prose.
cuting in this case; he being the coroner upon whose in-
quisition the prisoner was put on her trial. His lordship
had power to inapoue a penalty of 501., but he mitigated
it to 403., from the conviction that Mr. Paine had erred
from ignorance of the law in this case.
ARSON AT LEWKNOR.
William Booth, aged 22, labourer. pleaded guilty to
the charge of setting fire to a stack of wheat, the pro.
perty of Mr. Francis Filbee, at Lewknor, on the Bth of
November, and was sentenced to two years' imprison-
ment, with hard labour.
STEALING FOWLS AT BIOESTER.
Thomas Casby, aged 47, labourer, pleaded guilty to
the charge of stealing two fowls, the property of Mr.
Charles James Williams, at Bicester, on the 16th of
November, and was sentenced to 15 months' imprison-
ment.
