infant, between five and old.

Collard, a sergeant! of the N division., said--
Shortly after ten o'clock; lastmight I was on duty
in the theatre, And heard a' scuffling in one of the:
passages leading from the gallery. I repaired there,
and saw the prisdfier with a child in herirms,, She;
was intoxicated, and exclaimed, " Oh, my child is
dead! they have killed.my child !" Another female
was in her company. I with difficulty got the body
from them, and found it dead, but warms 'The
strings of its cap and bonnet were tight round the
throat, and I instantly conveyed it to the station,
and took prisoner in charge. Dr. Coward, the divi-
sional surgeon, speedily attended, and certified that
the child had been dead about three-quarters of an
hour, and apparently from strangulation. 1 then
took the body to the workhouse, where it now lies.
Mr. Mansfield—ls the prisoner married ?
Sergeant—Yes, sir, and her husband is present.
A young man, who appeared very much shocked
at the position of the prisoner, stopped forward,
and representing that she was his wife, declared
that a kin ler mother never existed.
Mr. Mansfield—What are you?
Husband—A hairdresser, and live in Baldwin's-
gardens, Holborn.

SOUTHWARK.--ATTEMPTED MURDER BY A
FEMALE.--Elizabeth Penning, a middle-aged
female of rather a determined appearance, was
brought before Mr. Burcham tor further examina-
tion, charged with attempting to murder James
Wraith°, by stabbing him in the face with a knife.
It appeared from the evidence of Henry Street,
police-cJnstable 171 M, that on Monday morning,
the 24th inst., about one o'clock, he heard a distur-
bance in Falstaff-yard, Kent-street, and on proceed-
ing there he saw the prisoner fighting with another
female. The wounded man was there trying to
pacify them, and as soon as witness approached the
prisoner rushed at him with an open knife in her
hand, and plunged the blade into the right side of
his face. Witness at once seized hold of the pri-
soner, and after considerable difficulty succeeded in
wrenching the knife from her covered with blood: Ile
then procured assistance, and conveyed the wounded
man to the hospital in a state of insensibility. The
prisoner was taken to the station-house, where she
said that she hoped Waltho was dead, as she in-
tended to murder him.

Mr. Bureham asked whether the injured man
was able to attend this examination.

Mr. Edwin, chief clerk, informed his worship
that he had received a certificate from Mr. Grab-
ham, 11011:x-surgeon of St. Thomas's Hospital, set-
ting firth that James Waitho was in a very bad
state from a deep punctured wound in the face,
but he now considered him out of danger. He (Mr.
Edwin) asked for a remand.
Mr. Burcharn asked the prisoner whether she had
anything to say why she should not be remanded?
She made no reply, and was remanded for another
week.

THAMES.— CHARGE OF MURDER.—Peter
Phillip Perio, a Portuguese seaman, was brought
before Mr. Yardley on a charge of wilful murder.
The man who is supposed to have met with his
death by foul means was named Jose Rico, a
Spaniard, who came to this country in the ship
Lion. It appeared that on Friday last a black
man named John Cole was charged with stealing
a quantity of wearing apparel, the property of the
deceased and another foreigner, named Phillippo,
in a boarding-house for foreign seamen, kept by a
Greek named John Seymour, whose nephew was
murdered in the same house a few years ago by
one of his lodgers. On the evening of the day on
which the charge of robbery was heard at this
court, the deceased, Rico, who had given evidence
of the robbery, was found dead in his bed with
mar :8 of great violence on his body externally, and
with nine of hig ribs broken. The murder is sup-
posed to have been committed not from motives of
revenge in consequence of the evidence he gave at
this court, but for the purpose of robbing him of
his money. Marino Martino, a Spaniard, and a
Portuguese-Brazilian, absconded from Seymeur's
house just before Rico was found dead in his bed,
and great suspicion attaches to them.
Francis Kelly, a police-constable, said he appre-
hended the prisoner in consequence of the suspicion
attached to him. The prisoner was in his bed
within a few feet of Rico when the latter was found
dead. A man was going up stairs towards the bed-
room and found a hat on the stairs. The man
called out, " Whose is this ?" to which the prisoner
replied directly, " It belongs to Rico."
Mr. Yardley said that there was no evidence at
all against the prisoner.
Kelly said two of the foreign lodgers had ab-
sconded from Scymour's house.
Mr. Yardley—That is some evidence against the
two men who have absconded, but none against the
prisoner

Seymour—He was the only one in the house at
the time the man was discovered quite dead, and
their beds were close to each other. The prisoner
said, when the hat was picked up on the stairs,
" That is Rico's hat."

Mr. Yardley—That amounts to nothing at all.
Kelly said that there were contusion on the body
of the deceased.

Mr. Yardley asked if an inquest had been held on
the body of the deceased ?
Police-sergeant, H 2, said the inquest commenced
on Monday and had been adjourned. A post mortem
examination of the body had taken place, and there
was no doubt the deceased had come unfairly by his
death.
Mr. Yardley said this was especially a case for
the police to investigate and collect evidence. There
was not a spark of evidence against the prisoner.
He could not detain any man in custody without
evidence, and the prisoner must be discharged.

AILWAY AND CANAL BILLS.—The report of the
Board of Trade shows that the number of (Great Britain)
Railway Bills deposited this session amounts to 202, of
which 149 authorise new works. The length of line autho-
rised by 90 new companies is 1,048 miles, and that by 59
existing companies, 358 miles.
CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA.—An event has recently
occurred in India, which is regarded by some as more impor-
tant to Christianity in India than the baptism of Maharajah
Dhuleep Sing, the establishment of a Christian mission at
Kuppoorthulla, under the protection of the Rajah, who
rendered us such valuable aid in Oude, and who
bears the whole expense. Since his recent marriage with
Miss Hodge, a Christian girl, the Rajah has disregarded
caste, and has been engaged in the study of the Scriptures
with a view to baptism.- Homeward Mail.
SIR HENRY BAWLINSON.—We are glad to hear
that Sir H. itawliuson arrived at Teheran on December 8,
after a very satisfactory journey. We understand that,
front the moment of crossing the Arras, which forms the
frontier of Persia to the West, he was received with special
marks of distinction. At Tabriz, in particular, be wasjeted
for several days. This was, no doubt, in part owing to his
being an old friend and comrade of the Viceroy of Azerbai-
jan, Bahrsm Mirza. Every one, however, in Persia, feels
that, at last, the right man is in the right place, and the
most favourable results may lie anticipated from a mission
which has commenced so auspiciously. Sir H. Rawliason
was accompanied, as we have noted on a former occasion,
by Dr. Dickson, the medical officer of the mission, and by
Lieutenant Watson, and Mr. Fane, attaches ; as also by
Mr. Taylor, acting consul at Teheran. Capt. Lewis Penn
officiating secretary of legation, riding post, succeeded
in joining Sir Henry cn route. This officer belongs to the
17th Bombay Native Infantry, and is of the season 184(1.
