in Monday's Moniteur, dated Genoa, March 20, says :
—"The Court of Genoa has this day given judgement
in the political trials which took place, in consequence
of the events of June last. Mazzini and fire others, who
were tded in their absence, and are in contempt of
tour-, are sentenced to death.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]--Holloway's Ointment and Pills.
—By the joint action of these two inestimable specifics
all cutaneous, eruptions are quickly banished from the
system, the worst description of wounds or ulcers are
easily eradicated, the morbific minter which nature finds
injurious to her is thrown out, and a thoroughly healthy
state of the blood and fluids is the result, restoring a
sound mind and body to sufferers after other treatment
has been found ineffectual ; in many cases saving surgi-
cal operations, and even life itself, by their miraculous
power.—Sold by all medicine vendors throughout the

On Sunda the 7th, a little after 9 p.m., John
Pearce, a Quartermaster belonging
to her Majesty's
ship Tartarus, was found stabbed through the back,
close to the landing place at the Pieta, and very
near kis ship ; he died shortly aft -r, while being
conveyed to the civil hospital. He was a man of
most excePent character. A Greek sailor has been
arrested on sitTicion.

though influenza (winch in many cases has been
followed by low fever and has proved fatal in a
few), is rather prevalent both in the army and
navy.

li. M. S. Caradoc left for Marseilles for the pur-

flogged with 50 lashes, to loose his pay, and to be
imprisoned for one year.

DISTURBANCE AT ASHTON BADRACE.S. —A demon-

racks on Saturday, which at first tbrealened to end
in a collision between the men of the 2d West Nor-
folk Militia and the men of the 10th Hussars now
stationed there. It seems that the men of the
militia have for some time been dissatisfied with
, ,
the quality of the butchers' mutt supplied by the
contractor, John Beswick of Ashton and on Satur-
day, when the butcher's cart got to the barracks
with tie usual weekly supply, the men rushed at
the cart, threw the whole of the meat in the barrack
ya,d, and kicked it up and down, at the same
time using Beswick in rather a rough manner. The
Hussars were called out,
and flay serious outrage
prevented, without, we are happy to say) any ill
feeling between the men. • Subsequently, Colonel
R. Wilbraham Was telegraphed to in Manchester,
and he attended at the barracks and addressed the
men, cautioning them as-to their proceedings, and
promising them all proper redress. We saw some
of the b. ef, which was c-rtainly of a most inferior
quality.—Manchester Guardian.

We have to record the particulars of a fearful
xagedy which has been enacted in Islington, and
which has caused an intense sensation in that part
of the metropolis.
In a small street, named Upper Pembroke-street,
not far removed from the New Metropolitan Cattle-
market, have for some time past resided a married
couple named Osborne, the house occupied by them
being No. 15 in the same street. The husband until
recently has been employed at a gas factory in the
neighbourhood, but a short time since lie obtained a
better appoin'ment at a similar establishment at
Bow. Being a great distance removed from his
residence,rn
and his empltyent necessitating a
considerable amouet of night work, Osborne
obtained apartments at Bow, returning to his
wife once a week, namely, on Saturday night. In
the same house, in Upper Pembroke-street,
lived a man employed at the Great Northern
Railway, at the King's-cross terminus. He was a
widower, and at the time of his wife's death had
but one child, who was placed in the care of Mrs.
Osborne.
Rumours had reached Oeborne's ears that an in-
timacy of an improper character was, during his
absence at work, carried on between his wife and
the father of the child above mentioned. He,
however, disregarded all the statements made to
her prejulice, expressing his intention to a friend
of perfectly satisfying himself as to his wife's infide-
lity before he accused her of the same. Notwith-
standing this resolve, however, it appears clear
that Osborne was anything but happy when at
home. His wife evinced but very lit.le affectioe
for him altheugh she saw him but once a week, and
the e were frequent disagreements between them
during the short interval at which he was at home.
During last week Osborne again received informa-
tion of his wife's infidelity, and at last he expressed
a determined resolve to satisfy his mind as to the
truth or falsity of the assertions that had been
made to him. He at the same time appeared very
unhappy, expressed his hopes that the reports were
untrue, and seemed little disposed to believe in
their accuracy. He was regarded as a respectable
wed-conducted man for the station of lite in winch
he moved, and received the deep sympathy of many
with whom ho was acquainted. To carry out his
determination of sifting the matter to the bottom,
he returned home from his occupation at Bow at a
somewhat earlier hour than usual ou the evening
of Saturday last ; bafirre reaching his residence in
Upper Pembroke-street, he fouird his wife was ab-
sent, and being informed that she had but a short
time previously been teen in the comp illy of the
man lodger, he retraced his steps with a view ef e-
rei_ vtillAra thßy tanck tr. It :12:11e_g_0. that
tteiceTirciiiitt-AVotfitilulfg- iti froli t of the bar.
He was greeted byhis wife 111 anything but friendly
language, but he endeavoured to indue, her to
leave the man and accompany him home. She l er-
tinaciously refused to comply with his reasonable
request, and ultimately a disturbance ensued be-
tween the party, which ended only upone inter-
vention of the police. They afterwards went home,
where the quarrelling was resumed, but nothing
serious was apprehended, and what passed between
them during the remainder of Saturday night and
up to Sunday afternoon has not been ascertained
with sufficient accuracy to justify its publication.
This much, however, is known. Instead of return-
ing as usual to his work on Sunday afternoon, Os-
borne went to the Marquis of Salisbury public
hone), only a few doors from his residence, and
partook of something at the bar. Mrs. Osborne
ascertaining that he was there, sent a little girl to
tell him that tea was ready, and he was to go
home and take some rum with him. He replied,
" If she wants any rum she must pry for it herself,
but I will pay for a cake for you. He purchased
a cake for the little girl, and taking Ler hand led
her home. He at once walked into the kitchen,
on the ground floor, where he found his wife
sitting at tea with the sister of the man lodger. He
touched the latter on the back, and said, "Now,
then, get up—this is the last cup of tea you will
ever drink here." She said to him, " You don't
mean that, George," but be instantly replied, " Yes
I do," and se ziug a chopper or billhook which stood
by the fireplace, he told her to go out of the room
at once, or he would serve her the same. He ulti-
mately ejected her with some little force, and at
once returning into the room, struck his wife a for-
midable blow on the head with the sharp end of
the murderous weapon. It is assumed that she
put up both hands to protect her head, and that
the second blow descended upon them and injured
them in the manner mentioned hereafter. Believing
he had killed his wife, the unfor uuate man took
from the table the knife with which his wife had
previously been cutting the broad and butter for
the meal, and with one cut inflicted such a des-
perate wound in his throat that death must have '
been perfectly instantaneous.
The woman who had been ejected from the room
spread an alarm, and several persons soon rushed
into the apartment, while others went for the
police and medical aid. Of the latter Dr. Richard-
son, residing in the Caledonian-road, was the first
to arrive, when a most fearful scene was presented.
On the floor near the fireplace lay the woman, in a
large pool of blood, and across her body was ex-
tened that of her husband, the blood pouring pro-
fusely from a frightful gash in the throat. Upon
the man being lifted up, it was found that he was
quite dead, the cut having severed all the vital
arteries. The woman, though insensible, was found
to he still alive. The wounds, however, were of
such a fearful nature upon the head that the brain
literally protruded through the skull, wleile her
right hand was cleft in twain longitudinally be-
tween her second and third fingers down to the
wrist, and the second finger on the left hand chop-
ped
in two, and only hung together by a particle of
skin, The wound on her head was four inches in
length, extending from inintediat,ly below the
nape of the neck. This wound was inflicted by
the first I low of the chopper, while the injuries to
the hands were occasioned by the second blow.
She evidently fell on to the floor in an insensible
state, apparently lifeless, and the man must imme-
diately have seized the knife from 'he table and cut
his throat, as he fell right across her body.
Dr. Richardson finding the man to be dead, at
once directed all his energies to the woman, and
adopted measures for replacing the brain in. its
proper position, and sewing up the wounds to pre-
vent reprotusion. He accomplished this in the
most successful manner, but from the extreme
severity of the injuries not the slightest hopes
were from the first entertained of her ultimate re.
covery, although she might linger for some short
time. Throughout the night she remained insen-
sible, and during the whole of yesterday, with but
two or three intervals of about a minute's dura-
tion, she continued in the same state. In the ex-
ceptional intervals referred to she only ejaculated
most feebly, " Oh, my po.Jr head !" and "Oh, my
poor hands !" and then relapsed into her former.
unconscious state. This was occwioned by a most
important vein inside the skull having beeeenliserevere
by the first blow, and which, from
impossible
toe secure the
posi-
tion in the head, rendered it
equently, severed parts by a ligature;
when-
ever the action of life - blood poured
from the artery, suffusiningtethrvelbnesradin, and caused
an immediate relapse iuto.a state of utter uncon-
sciousness.
Dr. Richardson was unremitting in his attend-
esvneciing
elthroughout the whole of yesterday, and. last
be informed our reporter that although
life was still remaining it was impossible she could
live more than a few hours, or at the most a day,
as the injuries to the brain were of so severe a na-

EIDLAND CIRCUIT.—WARWICK, March 22.
Sittings at Nisi Priuß, before Lord Campbell and
a Special Jury.)
BETTS V. CLIFFORD.
This cause, which occupied the whole of Satur-
day, and was only concluded this morning, was an
action brought to recover damages for the infringe-
ment of a patent taken out by the plaint;ff Betts,
in respect of his having invented a new material
consisting, of lead coated with tin, and which was
principally employed by him in the manufacture of
cap,ules fir the covering and rendering air-tight
the mou'lis of bottles and o-her vessels.
His Lordship, in summing up this morning, told
the jury that there were three questions of fact for
their consideration—first, whether Mr. Betts in-
vented this process ; eecondly, was it known and
invented before 1849, the date of 13etts's patent, so
as to be perfected, or was there evidence that it
was ab-irtive, and that it was on that account aban-
doned I Thirdly, had there been au infringem nt ?
The jury would find their verdict on these fact►, in
order that a question of pure law, whether under
certain facts found there had been any infringe-
ment, might be reserved.
The jury returned a verdict for the defendant,
upon the question of novelty; and for the plaintiff
on the question whether there had been an infringe-
ment.
In the course of his summing up Lord Campbell
noticed that a scientific witness having asked hie
opinion as to whether he was bound to attend upon
being served with a subpoena he would say that a
:Tien tific witness was not bound to attend, and
ought not to be subpcennel If he knew any ques•
tion of fact he might be compelled t) attend, but
her Majesty's subjects were not compellable to
give their attendance to speak upon matters of
opinion.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —LnrEarooL, March 22.
CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)
Martin Devitt, aged 54, was indicted forbigamy,
in Laving unlawfully married Mary Sheehan at
Manchester, on the 20th of July last, his first wife
being alive.
Mr. Burke appeared for the prosecution ; the
prisoner was undefended.
The prisoner, who is an Irishman, created great
amusement in court by his manner of defending
himself; and mode of cross-examination of the
various Irish witnesses called to establish the
charge. When asked whether he pleaded guilty or
not guilty, he appealed to his Lordship as a "fellow- ,
countryman" to protect him.
klir Lordship. —Very well; then you had better
plead "not guilty."
From the statement of the learned counsel for
the prosecution and the examination of the various
witnesses it appeared that the prisoner was mar-
ried to Mary Honohoe at Foxford, in Connaught,
by Father James Henry, a Catholic priest, 24 years
ago, and her brother paid the priest 255. for per-
forming the ceremony, and that his wife was now
alive in Manchester. Ihe second wife, Mary
Sheehan, stated-that the prisoner had courts:l her
five years, and that she was a staymaker in Man-
chester. He represented himself to be a widower,
and on the 20th of July last year she was married
to him at St. Augustine's Catholic Chapel, Man-
chester. After a time he represented that he had
a job in the country which would keep him ab-
sent for some time. He then used to come and
see her on Saturday nights and leave, as she sup-
posed, tog) to his work in the country on Monday
mornings. Eventually she heard that be had a
wife living in Manchester, and gave information
to the police.

The prisoner then began to cross-examine the
witness, and, working himself into the greatest
possible state of excitement, he shrieked out to her
" Answer me t'iis, and none of yer bother. Would
you ever let me alone till I inAir:ecl you ? Didn't
you get two candles and burn 'em all night to
bewitch me, and give me some powders to charm
me—answer me that now ?"
The witness answered, " No."
The prisoner (gesticulating violently),—" What !
Turn round and let me look at you." (The witness
obstinately stood with her back to him.)
Prisoner—She laren't look at me, yer honner.
She bewitched me with her candles and powders
and tricks, and when I hadn't my siuses got me to
marry her, and charmed me with her powders out
of my home and my wife and my children. The
prisoner then worked himself into such a fury that
his shriekings became utterly unintelligible.
His lordship left it to the jury to say whether 'he
prisoner had married twice, his first wife nein..

alive.
The jury found him guilty.
On trying asked if he bad anything to say why
sentence should not be passed upon him, the pri-
soner said he tbougkt he ought to be excused as
be was " not in his sinses whin he did it, with her
candles and powders."
His Lordship said he bad committed a very bad
offence in inducing a singe woman to marry him
when he had a wife already.

Prisoner—l don't knowthat, yer honner, for the
man the lodged wid tAd me she had a darter as
big as herself. (Laughter.)
His Lordship said he did not know how that
was ; but the offence he had committed the law did
not allow, and the church to which he (plisoner)
belonged thought it a great crime. The eentence
of the Court was that he be imprisoned three calen-
dar months, with hard lal our.
