These gentlemen ought, as WAS • --suggested in
the conanaittee,` o . give and take, seeing that
the proposed line ;would be attended with great
permanent public advantage, and would, at the
most, entail only a re-arrangement ,of the wards
and buildings."
We may as well state that- - the railway, after
passing theUfigle of the north Wing of the' hospital,:. ,
will cross'Wellington-Street by an arch 18 feet la'
height, and 72 feet in 'span:. The road at South-
wark Bridge will be crossed by arch of the same
height, and a span of 75 feet. Blaclariars-road-wia
be crossed by three arches, one of 50 feet span, with
a height of .18 feet,.and two side arches, each with
a span of 16 feet. The whole of the line will be on
a viaduct of arches. - It' will ;cross the :Waterloo-
road aboutloo. feet north of the .present South .
Western Railway Station, and' will; aft6r forming
a junction with the South Western Railway, cross
the river to Hungerford Market. ' The cost of the
line will be iBOO,OOO, . including £176,000 for the
purchase of Hungerford. Market. •
The committee will, as, we have already.' stated, ,
meet on Tuesday, when the decision - will be pro-
.nounced,- which we have no doubt will be in favour
of 'the undertaking. In its' future stages in. the
House of Lords we do not apprehend there will be
any serious opposition ; it would be difficult; in..,
deed, todiscover any ground for adopting, in respect
to this bill, the usual course of reversing the deci
sion of a select committee.—Obserter.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.---WiNcEtEsTER, JULY 16.
(Before Mr. Baron. Bramwell.)
THE MURDER AT ALDERSHOTT CAMP. Henry Benjamin Haynes, a soldier, aged 21; was
indicted for the wilful murder of. Mary M‘GoWaii, •-' -at Aldershott, on the 6th March. i
The prisoner, on- being arraigned, said. he did. not
want to plead, but wished to he tried. The matter
was explained to him, and his reply was directed
to be recorded .as a plea of not guilty.
Mr. H. T. Cole prosecuted ; Mr. Edwardes de-
fended
ptheeperd that
isener.
It
about 10 o'clock on the morning '
of Sunday, the 9th June, the prisoner and a com-
rade tamed Thbert dallender,' both of them
belonging to the 9th Foot, left the Aldershott
camp without leave, and went to, the London
Tavern, a house forninly a beer-shop, then used as
a place of resort for low women. After partak-
ing of some beer in the kitchen Callender went up
stairs with a girl named Emma Turner, and
Haynes accompanied the-deceased, M'Crowan, to
(another .apartment. M'Gowan was 'a' native of
Leeds, in Yorkshire. Callender fell asleep, the
girl
Turner left him, and he did not awake until aroused '
by thesfootsteps of Haynes immediately before the
murder. When Turner got up she went to :M'Gowan
and told her it was.time to get up. ' It was thin
about three o'clock. M'Gowan got up and bin
to wash herself. Prisonerput his arms rounder
neck and kissed her. M‘Gowan said she had left
something in another room, and went out, follnwed
by Haynes. They went into another room. 'Almost
immediately fearful cries of "Murder" were heard, '
and on Henry Ferris, of the North Down Rifles,
and Charlotte Davies, a 'female in whose Foom he
was sitting while she was dressing, going to the
spot from whence the shrieks proceeded, they 'disco-
vered the unfortunate girl in the act of falling upon
her knees, and Haynes withdrawing his hand,hold-
ing a razor, from her throat. The girl was bleeding
profusely from a wound on the neck. Sloe put up _
her hands, and exclaimed, " Lord have mercy on
my soul. I hope my poor mother will forgive me ;
I have been a wicked sinner." Haynes put the
razor on the table, took up the case, and- put it in
his, pocket as he walked out of the room, and was
found by. Callender leaning over the bannisters,
very pale and exceedingly agitated. Callender asked
in the name of God what made him do that. He
shook his head, lOoked up, and merely replied, " Is
she hurt ? Is she hurt ?" She made no 'attempt to
escape. The unfortunate girl expired in less than
five minute. Private Wm. Trevanner, of-the Mili-
tary Train, with some comrades, and Royal Artil-
lerymen,
conveyed Haynes to the lock-up. On his
way, Haynes said his mind had not been easy since
be came from America, on account of what he bad
done there. Trevanner asked him what made him
murder the girl. He replied, "Poor girl! She
never done me any harm, and I never done her any
harm. I never spoke to her, nor she to me." Tre-
vanner told, him his intention had been to murder
some one, as ho had brought his razor out; and he
said it was not this girl he intended to murder, ~,,,„...._
but'"' I(.largVei Cheltenham, who hitd cawed
him to Have to enter the hospital. He 1
had not, however, inquired for the girl Cheltenham
that day. Trevanner then asked him what caused
him to murder this girl, and he said it was the
devil.

Evidence having been led,
The jury retired, and having been absent upwards
of two hours, returned into court with a written
message to the learned judge.
His Lordship said he had received a communica-
tion to the effect that some of the jury, having some
doubt as to the prisoner's state of mind at the time
he committed the murder, desired a further expla-
nation of the law.
The foreman said they felt a doubt as to his lord-,
ship's meaning respecting the • offence being com-
mitted under a sudden and uncontrollable impulse.
His Lordship replied—The suddenness of the im-
pulse did not make it the less murder. He read the
law seriatim. No jury, he added, could properly
acquit on the ground of insanity, where they be-
lieved that the man was conscious of the act which
he was about to do. An
.uncontrollable impulse
must be one which overcame all consideration. If
a man were conscious of the act which he was about
to do, and the act was contrary to the law of the
land, he was properly punished.
The jury at once returned a verdict of guilty of
murder.

His Lordship then assumed the black cap, amid
breathless silence, and passed sentence of death in
the usual form.

METROPOLITAN TOLLS.—The report of the Right
Hon. Viscount Eversley, the Hon. Col. Pennant,-and Mr.
Wrightson, M.P., the Royal commissioners, was presented
to the House of Commons last night. It is not yet printed,
but it is stated it shows that the Royal commissioners took
a great amount of trouble in the inquiry, and in the end
they report in favour of what must be a coercive measure
against those parishes in the outer area which have not
taken to the roads like those in the inner area. '

CELEBRATED ARMISTICES.—The most celebrated
armistices recorded in modern history are the followin : " That of Leoben, in 1797, was signed a few days afterg the
victory of Tagliamento, gained by Napoleon I. over Prince
Charles. It was General Bonaparte himself who proposed
it, as mentioned a few days since. This armistice was fol-
lowed by the preliminaries of Leoben and the treaty of
Campoh
D-Formio. The armistice of Stayer, concluded on
henlinden.
the 25tecember, 1800, took place after the battle of Ho-
Januaryas signed by Moreau. On the 16th
which de
, 1801 Brune signeded the armistice of Treviso,
livered into the hands of the Frenchthe fortified
places of Ferrara Peschiera, and Porto-Legnano. Re was
reproached with 'not having demanded Mantua. In 1805,
Murat concluded an armistice at Hollebrun, which saved
the Russian army, and was the cause of a severe letter writ-
ten to him by the Emperor. On the very evening of the
battle of Austerlitz, the Emperor of Austria demanded and
aired an armistice, which was preliminary to the peace
of ug. Another armistice, also celebrated, was signed
after the battle of Friedland, and led to the peace of Tihitt.
At Wagram took place the armistice of Znaim, which was
the prelude to the peace of Vienna, 1809. Lastly, on the 4th
June, 1813, after Bautzen, was signed the armistice of Pleis-
witz, which the Emperor Napoleon I. himself considered a
fault."
