Tom aitis the writer and the devil

had appeared to him, and told him he must com-
mit murder, and that they had told him to murder her.
Witness thought him not right in his mind, and tried to
soothe him as much as possible. Before they were mar-
ried he was one day very violent, and said he would de-
stroy himself, unless witness married him. At that time
he inflicted four wounds on his head with a quart pot.
He once attempted to drown himself, with large weights
in his pockets. About seven yeais ago he came home
with all his hair shaved off ; and on being asked by wit-
ness why he had done so, he said it was his fancy ; he
was tired of the world, and that he had
.gone into a barber's
shop, took up a razor, and threatened to cut the man's
throat unless he shaved his hair off. He once attempted
to cut witness's throat, and was so violent, that he was
sent to the House of Correction for two months. He ap-
peared in such a disturbed state for the last seven years,
that she hardly knew whether he was sober or drunk.
Mary Terry stated that the prisoner at the bar lodged at
her house at the time of the committal of this offence. Had
heard him repeatedly say he would take away Mrs. Burn's
life, and his own, too, afterwards. On the night previous to
the committal of the offence, he told the witness that if she
would give him a sovereign, he would tell her a secret—that
he had but a short time to live, that he intended to kill Mrs.
Burn, and then himself. He went to bed, but got up shortly
afterwards, saying he was troubled and could not rest. On
the morning of the day on which the offence was committed,
on leaving the house of the witness, he said he was going to
Gravesend ; that if he did not return, she was to go to Mr.
Appleby's, where she would find his trunk, great-coat, and a
tin box containing some halfpence. He also left ss. with the
witness to pay for what he had had.

Thomas Burn, the son of the prosecutrix, corroborated
her testimony.

The officer who took the prisoner into custody produced
the two pistols, which were examined, and proved to be
loaded with powder and large swan shot.
Wm. Merritt was with the prisoner when he bought the
pistols from Mr. Walker, the pawnbroker, in the Commer-
cial-road on the morning of the day that he committed
the offence. He told witness that he had bought them
for• the purpose of blowing Mr. Burn's brains out,
and then his own. Witness, before he knew what the
prisoner was going to do, bought the powder and shot
for him.

The shopman of the pawnbrokei stated that the prisoner
purchased the pistols from his master's shop. He stated that
he wanted them for a captain, and on witness asking him a
guinea for them, the prisoner said he must take less, as he
wanted something for himself. Witness said if he would
bring the Captain down the next day he would try if they
could not agree. The prisoner came the next day in com-
pany with the last witness, and stated that the Captain
could not come, but that he was to purchase them. After
he had paid 15s. for them, he got some caps from the wit-
ness, which he tried, and snappinc, one at a female in the
shop, he said laughing, " You are a woman."
The prisoner, in a rather incoherent manner, stated that
he had neither seen powder, shot, or pistols, and that he was
an innocent man.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS summed up, and _ -

The jury, after retiring for half-an-hour, returned a ver-
dict of—Guilty of committing the act, being of unsound mind
at the time.

NEW COURT.

THE KING V. THE OMNIBUS PROPRIETORS, FOR CONSPIRACY.

This case, which has already occupied three days, was
resumed this morning.
William Budd, timekeeper to the omnibuses at the
Bank, was examined by Mr. C. JONES—Witness observed
Bray's omnibuses on Whit-Monday last, when they came to
the Bank with Trevett's carriages. Witness informed the
drivers that they could not take time without permission,
and they drove on through Cornhill. Subsequently, when
Trevett's omnibuses started Bray's-followed them, and on
coming to the Bank on the following days they appeared to
try to start at the same time as Trevett's. Considerable
confusion was occasioned by Bray's omnibuses, which kept
no time.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS—Sylvester's
" Emperor" and Corbett's " Albion" took regular time only
once. They were in the habit of running with Bray's
omnibu sses. _

......
Re-examined—There was no opposition until Bray com-
menced running his omnibusses.
James Thompson, inspector of coaches, stationed in
Cheapside, for the purpose of checking the coach re-
turns at the Stamp-office, stated that he had frequently
seen the " Emperor" afid the " Albion" with Bray's
omnibus behind, and that when the former stopped,
Bray's driver whipped the horses, and drove his
pole across the door of the carriages. On one occasion,
he saw Raine, Bray's driver, take a child off the steps of
the " Emperor," and put it into his own, and a female who
accompanied the child was, therefore, compelled to go
with him.
Cross-examined—Had ridden with the " Emperor," but
had no connexion with the parties.
John Miller, time-keeper at the Wheat-sheaf, and
Nathanial Coulson, time-keeper at the. New-inn, Edgeware-
road, stated that as soon as Trevett started, Bray always
followed him closely.
.racob Miller, a Sergeant of Police, deposed to having
witnessed Bray endeavour, by forcible means, to prevent
passengers from entering the " Albion."
Edward Tyrell, Inspector of Police, had witnessed similar
scenes. He considered one as bad as the other, but had
summoned Bray's man twice.
Cross-examined—The conduFt of Bray's men was very
improper.
Other police officers gave similar evidence.
Coulson, the time-keeper at the Bank, was re-called and
examined by Mr. PAYNE—Witness had conversed with
Bray on the subject of his running his cbmnibusses, and he
told witness that unless he got one hundred pounds from
the other proprietors, he would indict them all for a conspi-
racy, and ruin them. Two men employed by Treveti were
taken into custody on the present indictment shortly after-
wards, and witness heard Bray say he did not mean to go
against the men, but the wasters, as he could get nothing out
of the former.
_ _

Cross-examined—Witness used to pay the time-keepers
with money he received from the different conductors. His
regular demand was 2s. 6d. a week from each omnibus.
Johnson, Pearce, Watson, Bolton, Trevett, and Cowderoy,
all put additional omnibuses on the road after Bray started.
John Lee examined—Was formerly a driver in the ser-
vice of Bray, who gave him directions to do as he thought
proper. In consequence of this, witness drove against
Trevett's omnibus, because it was a good time. Witness
mai to wait about for Trevett, and occasionally draw his
nole across the door to prevent passengers getting in.
Vtness was also ordered by Bray to run against Bird and
johns,in, and not to leave them until further orders. He
did so fok" about six weeks.
Cross-ex.; mined—Did not receive orders to run against
Trevett.
By the Jury— Was not told by Bray to run his pole
across the steps of other Pmnibuses.
Henry Edmonds, oil and colourman, of the Edgeware-
road, was riding on the box of the "Emperor," the Monday
after W hit-Monday, when Bray drove against them and
knocked the horses down in Holborn.
Cross-examined by Mr. BALL—Was not an omnibus
proprietor, but had lent some money that gave him an in-
terest in an omnibus.
By Mr. C. PHILLIPS—I lent upwards of 300/. to a
widow, and was compelled to take a share in an omnibus as
the only security for my money.
John Bardell, veterinary surgeon, brother of the two
Bardells indicted, was next examined. Witness asked
Bray why he bad indicted his brothers, and he replied that
his attorney had advised him to do so. Witness put the
same question to Norton. He replied, " Bardell, it is
hardly fair that you should be here, but I will tell you, Mr.
Bray has told me be has no evidence to offer against your
brothers ; but Mr. Bray commissioned your brothers to ask
the proprietors of the Paddington Committee for 1001, to
go off the road ; and if we don't include them in the in-
dictment, the Paddington Committee will subpoena them
against us. This was in Aaron Bray's presence.—
He added—" H the proprietors would not pay the 1001.
or take his stock at a valuation, and give him .501., I (Nor-
ton) will suffer my legs and arms to be cut off, if I don't
ruin them." He told me to tell my brothers that they
would know what they had to depend on.
Mr. Serjcant BOMPAS was about to cross-examine the
witness, when,
Mr. C. PHILLIPS submitted to the Court, that as all
the witnesses had been out of Court, if the learned Ser-
jeant intended to call Mr. Norton as a witness he ought to
go out of Court also.
Mr. Sergeant BOMPA s—Whatever may be the conse-
quence I will not consent to that.
The COURT thought he ought not to he called unless be
went out of Court.
After some legal altercation Mr. Norton left the Court.
Cross-examination of Mr. John Bardell by Mr. Sergeant
BOMPAs—Was bad for his brothers. His bail was not
refused.
The Me was proceeding when our Reporter left.

THE SUN, LONDON, THITROAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1835.

THE DUCHESS OF KENT AND

PRINCESS VICTORIA.

Burghley, the seat of the Marquis of Exeter, was on
Monday, the 21st inst., honoured by a visit from their
Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and Princess Vic-
toria ; they arrived at 3 o'clock, when a Royal salute was
fired ; and on their entrance a military band played " God
save the King." The Corporation of Stamford waited up-
on their Royal Highnesses, and presented a loyal address,
after which they partook of a d6jeuner dto fourchette. A
dinner of 36 covers was prepared in the great hall or ban-
queting-room, which is 68 feet long by 30 wide, splendidly
illuminated by eight patent lamps suspended from the
arched roof of oak, springing from brackets, in the style of
Westminster Hall, which roof for very many years, until
the present occasion, had been painted. Mnch labour was
required to remove the paint, and restore to its natural
state that beautiful piece of architecture, which is supposed
to be more ancient than the other parts of the building.
The north end of the hall was fitted up for the sideboard;
and the effect produced by the profusion of costly gold
plate could not be surpassed, if equalled, either for elegance
of design, or the masterly talent displayed in the workman-
ship. Amongst the numerous varieties of ornamental plate
were a beautiful fountain and a magnificent silver cistern,
the handles of which are lions (the supporters of his Lord-
ship's arms), admirably executed, which cistern is supposed
to be the largest in England, 3,400 ounces.

In the evening about 300 persons, consisting of all the
rank and fashion in the neighbourhood, assembled at an
early hour, by express invitation of the Marchioness, to
have the honour of meeting her Royal Highness, on which
occasion a suite of rooms were prepared for dancing, cards,
and refreshments. Litolff and Adams's band struck up at
ten o'clock, when dancing commenced, which was kept up
with great spirit until er three o'clock. Supper was
prepared in the great hall.
The suite of rooms prepared for her Royal Highness and
the Princess were unique. In the bed room was a most
magnificent state bed for her Royal Highness, with a
smaller one for the Princess, which were justly admired.
The grate, fender, &c., were most curious, the family
crests, coronets, and other ornaments, being in massive
silver : the dressing-rooms were splendid, and the gold
toilet plate most gorgeous. On one dressing table, most
richly embossed, was a service of Queen Elizabeth's, on
another that of King James I. The carvings that orna-
ment the numerous rooms are most costly, and the superb
paintings, by the first masters, with which all the apart-
ments are enriched, renders Burghley a place of general
attraction to all amateurs of the fine arts.

Their Royal Highnesses left the next morning at 10
o'clock, on a visit to Mr. Coke, of Holkham.

COURT CIRCULAR.

The King, attended by Sir Herbert Taylor, arrived in
town at twenty minutes past one o'clock, yesterday after-
noon, from Windsor Castle. _

Lord Auckland'had an audience of his Majesty at St.
James's, to take leave on his departure for India.

The Earl of Minto had an audience to kiss hands on
being appointed First Lord of the Admiralty.
The King also gave audiences to Baron d'Ompteda, the
Hanoverian Minister, Viscount Melbourne, Lord Glenelg,
Lord Holland, Sir John Hobhouse, Sir Hussey Vivian, and
Sir John Beresford.

The Princess' Sophia visited his Majesty at St. James's.
His Majesty left town at ten minutes past six o'clock, to
return to Windsor Castle.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the
Princess Victoria will arrive at Euston-hall, to-day, on a
visit to the Duke of Grafton.

'The Princess Augusta arrived on Monday at Bagshot-
park, on a visit to the Duchess of Gloucester.
Viscount Melbourne arrived in town yesterday after-
noon, from the residence of Earl Cowper, at Penshanger,
Herts.

The French Ambassador and the Austrian Charge
d'Affaires transacted business at the Foreign Office on
Tuesday.
Lord Bloomfield had an interview With Lord Glenelg
on Tuesday, at the Colonial Office.

Because the French Government has perfectly compre-
hended its mission. King Louis Philippe has perceived
that the European question was not to be decided at Ka-
lisch, but at the Tuileries, and that the _day on which his
energetic will should subdue the spirit of anarchy, would be
the day on which the maintenance of peace would be de-
cided on by all Powers. Secure order at Paris, and you
secure the peace of the world. This is what has not hi-
therto been sufficiently understood. M. de Saint Aulaire
ingeniously pointed out the error which prevented the at-
tainment of that object. "On the day after a revolution
made for liberty," said he, " it is not liberty that is to be
thought of ; it cannot have forgotten itself ; but whenliberty
has triumphed, guarantees must be given to power, for that
alone is impotent and disarmed."
The statesmen who thus understood the question will
have saved France, and ensure the repose of Europe.—
Journal de Frankfort, Sept. 18.

Sir George Grey arrived in town on Tuesday, from the
residence of Phillips, at Garendon-park, Loughborough.

Count Matuszevic went from Doncaster Races to
pay a farewell visit to his Noble Friend the Earl of Wilton,
at Heaton Park, near Manchester, where his Excellency
will remain to attend the races in the park there. The
Count postponed his departure for Naples in consequence
of the prevalence of the cholera in the Italian States.
The Duke of Buccleugh embarked for Dundee
direct, in his yacht, the Flower of Yarrow, on his way to

day last, at the Courteney Arms Hotel, Starcross, to their
lately elected Member, Mr. Parker, for the purpose of com-
memorating the triumph of the Tory parsons in the recent

Mr. Charles Kemble, who has been playing some of
his favourite characters at Cambridge, was on Monday last
elected an honorary member of the Cambridge Garrick
Club. This society, which was established for the encou-
ragement of the drama, in 1833, has not only met with tl-e
greatest support from the inhabitants of the town, but can
also boast of having amongst its members some of the most
celebrated actors of the present day.

The Committee of Covent Garden met yesterday for.
the purpose of disposing of the theatre. There were two
candidates—Mr. Osbaldiston, and Mr. James Langshaw,
of Hampstead, whose father was an intimate friend of the
late David Garrick. The latter gentleman was the highest
bidder, and is to have a final answer from the Committee
on Monday. The improvements contemplated in the inte-
rior by Mr. Langshaw, in the event of his becoming the
lessee, will prevent the season commencing before the second
week in November.

Minister of State, has arrived here. Count Augustin Capo
d'lstria, brother to the late President of Greece, has arrived
here from London. He left us yesterday.
FRANKFORT, SEPT. 18.—The grand reviews at Kalisch
must be concluded to-day. Of course we cannot have the
news ; but a letter from Kalisch, received yesterday, says
positively that the reviews would end on the 17th, so that
the Sovereigns and other distinguished persons would partly
leave Kalisch on the following day. They will not, how-
ever, go direct to Toplitz. The Emperor of Russia, King
of Prussia, and several Princes will not proceed thither till
the last week of this month, by which time the Emperor of
Austria, who is expected there on the 19th, will have
everything arranged to receive them. The Ministerial
conferences will begin before the arrival of the Sovereigns.

BRIGHTON THEATRE.---Mr. Kean having entered
into a second engagement, played every night last week,

On Tuesday evening last, Mr. Sheriff' Raphael re-
deemed the promise which he made in the early part of his
shrievalty, by giving a splendid entertainment in the mag-
nificent hall of the Merchant Tailors' Company, to a party
of about five hundred. Dancing, which commenced be-
tween nine and ten o'clock, was kept up with spirit by an
elegant and fashionable assemblage until after the dawn of
day, with the introduction of an agreeable episode in the
form of a supper, consisting of every delicacy which the
season affords, and the time of the repast would justify. It
is a circumstance not unworthy of notice, that no ball has
taken place in Merchant Tailors' Hall until now, since the
time of the jocund monarch, Charles 11.

GERMAN PAPERS.

The beadles of St. Pancras having become dissatis-
fied with their present salaries, applied on Tuesday to the
vestry for an increase of salary from 11. to 1/. .ss. weekly
(the yearly perquisites are about 18/0 A motion was made
by Mr. Douglas, and supported by Mr. Murphy, for their
dismissal. This was met, however, by an amendment, on
the part of Mr. Vigors and others, for the appointment of
a Committee to inquire into the matter and report to the
vestry. The amendment was carried.

VIENNA, SEPT. 12.—Count Nesseirode and Baroh Von
Kessling have arrived at Konigmarth, where Prince Met-
ternich has been staying for some days past. Baron Kess-
ling,it is said, has letters from the'King of Bavaria to the
three Sovereigns who will meet at Toplitz.
Letters from Corfu represent the insurrection in Albania
as at an end. They announced that Lord Durham had ar-
rived at Malta, on board an English frigate, and had said
that he should make but a short stay at Constantinople,
and that he should pass the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus
in the same ship that brought him to Malta. This will
put an end to the apprehensions of the English Journals re-
specting the refusal of a firman to pass the Straits in a man-
of-war. He will be received in the most splendid manner
at Constantinople and Odessa. The Sultan has given or-
ders to show him all possible honour, and similar orders are
said to have come from St. Petersburgb.—Allgenzeile Zei-
tung, Sept. 18.
FRANKFORT, SEPT. IG.—lf King Louis Philippe is sin-
cere—and sincerity is his interest—he must seize for a mo-
ment a dictatorial, energetic, compact power, which alone
is efficacious in the great crisis of society. Washington was
all powerful, and his dictatorship saved America.
If, on the other hand, the potentates have really recog-
nized Louis Philippe in royal good faith, as we may believe,
they must give him solid aid to crush faction and silence
party ; they must assist him in seizing a temporary but in-
dispensable dictatorship ; and if Europe should have to lend
him a million of soldiers, the French soil must be purged of a
thousand incendiaries, who keep it in a state of agitation,
and prepare for it, and all civilized nations, ages of servi-
tude, under the pretext of a false and chimerical liberty.
Let the approaching meeting of the Sovereigns, laying
aside all rivalry, form a European high tribunal. Let it
invest Louis Philippe for a year with dictatorial power ;
let the men whose presence in Europe is manifestly in-
compatible with its tranquillity, and with the tranquillity

FRANKFORT, SEPT. 17.—Some journals still believe in
war ; and several of them say that the Russians and Prus-
sians wish fora camp in the West: What shall we answer

A Drum-Major of the Russian Guards is, it seems,
an object of much attention at Kaliscli, on account of t'is
extraordinary stature. When standing, his head ;:s said
to be on a level with any other man's on horP:Lack. He
is accompanied by his wife, who is less than the ordinary
female size.
