the remark "that it would be all right soon," alluded to
the death of his first wife, who was upwards of 70 years of
age. The prisoner then went on in a rambling strain,
condemning everybody who had given evidence against
him.
The Lord Chief Baron, after repeated interruptions from
the prisoner, proceeded to pass sentence of death on the
prisoner. In doing so his lordship said it was one of the
most horrible cases of murder ever heard of. The prisoner's
assertions with respect to the witnesses were as false as
many other statements of his, and they had been
proved to be so by his own letters. He had no doubt that
the jury had come to a right conclusion, and the sentence
of the Court is, that you be taken from hence to the
place from whence you came, and from thence to the place
of execution, and that you be there hanged by the neck till
you be dead, and may the Lord God Almighty have mercy
on your soul.
The prisoner maintained his coolness during the whole
time the Judge was delivering the sentence, and left
the dock exclaiming that Dr. Julius was his murderer,
and calling the Almighty to witness that
he was innocent of the crime of which he had been found
guilty.
To the Sheriff of Surrey was confided the duty of carry-
ing out the sentence.

BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, AUG. 17.
NOTICE TO SHIPOWNERS AND MASTERS.
The Right Hon. the Lords of the Committee of Privy
Council for Trade and Plantations have received through
the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a De-
cree which was published in the Monitore Poem° of the
22d ultimo, instituting a new system of measurement for
Tuscan and foreign vessels, in the place of that formerly in
use.
The following is a translation of the Decree :
The Government of Tuscany, considering that the pre-
sent system of the computation of tonnage is burthensome
to the commerce of Tuscan vessels, inasmuch as it differs
from that adopted by the principal maritime powers in the
points of mensuration, which yield as the result a smaller
amount of tonnage ; and being desirous of securing to ship-
pers the advantages to be derived from a similar method of
computation ;
On the proposition of the Minister of Finance, Com
merce, and Public Works—

DECREES
Art. I—The capacity or burthen both of sailing and
steam vessels, whether national or foreign, shall in future
be reckoned in tons, their dimensions being measured in

the following manner :
Length—For a one-decked vessel—From stem to stern
along the level of the deck, that is from the poop to the
prow (internally). For a two-decked vessel—Add to the
first length that which is comprised between the stern-post
and the stem, measured along the floor of the second deck,
and divide the sum of the two lengths by two, to obtain the
medium length.
Width—At the main beam or point of the greatest width
of the vessel. For vessels having an inner fixed planking,
from one surface to the other of that planking. For those
with a moveable planking, or with no planking, between
the two inner beards.
Height.—At the point of the greatest width. For a
one-decked :vessel—From under the floor of the deck,
without reckoning the aperture for the mast, or the cross
beams of the deck, to the upper side of the floor of the store
room (pagliolo). For a two-decked vessel—From under
the floor of the deck as above, to that of the gangway, and
from under that to the store room.
Art. 11.—These three dimensions shall be expressed in
metres and their decimal fractions, and after multiplying
such products into each other, the produce shall be divided
by 3.80, and the quotient shall indicate the amount of the
tonnage of the vessel.
Art. lll.—The computation of steam-vessels shall be
reckoned in a similar manner, but forty per cent. shall be
deducted from the amount of tonnage for the space occu-

pied by the engine and its accessories.
Art. IV.—The Minister of Finance, Commerce, and
Public Works, is charged with the execution of the present
decree, which shall have effect from the Ist day of August
next.
