INFANTICIDE AT HACKNEY.

Last night Mr. John Humphreys, the coroner for
East Middlesex, resumed and concluded a protracted
inquiry at the Queen Eleanor Tavern, Church-
path, Mare-street, Hackney, respecting the death of
a newly-born female child, the illegitimate offspring
of Ann Green, a servant in the employ of Mr. Geo.
Rance, proprietor of the above-named house.
Inspector Bywater, of the N division, Hackney,
was in attendance to watch the case on the part of
the Police Commissioners ; and the accused was in
the infirmary of the Hackney Union, under the
surveillance of the police of the district.
It appeared from the voluminous testimony that
on the morning of the 9th inst., the female Green,
who had been four years in her situation, was
found ill in her bed lty her mistress, who sent for
her own medical adviser. Mr. Roper, the surgeon,
of High-street, Shoreditch, promptly attended, and
saw the accused in bed. He examined her, and
was of opinion that she had recently given birth to
an infant. The accused admitted the fact, and
under the bed was found a bundle, which was
handed to the medical gentleman, :who unfastened
the covering, and discovered the dead body of a fe-
male infant. There was a ligature round the neck,
and the covering consisted of an apron. The liga-
ture round the throat was a piece of ribbon, tied in
a loose knot. The face was livid, and the tongue
protruied from the mouth. There was a bruise
over the left eye, and the hands were clenched.
The umbilical cord had been torn and lacerated.
Evidence having been offered proving that the
apron and the ribbon which formed the ligature
belonged to the accused,
The Coroner proceeded to sum up the testimony
of the several witnesses, when lie read over the de-
positions at length, and. after the inquest-room had
been cleared of strangers for a quarter of an hour,
The jury unanimously agreed to a verdict of
" Wilful murder."

The Coroner then made out his warrant for the
committal of the accused to Newgate, to take her
trial at the ensuing sessions of the Central Criminal
Court.

The several witnesses were also bound over to
prosecute.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotatiox of gold at Parit
is about I d, and the short exchange on London is 25.11,
per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng-
lish Mint price of £3 17s. 10Id. per ounce for standar.'
gold, it appears that gold is at about 2-10ths per Cont. dearer
in Path than in London. By advices from Hamburg the
price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange on
London is 13.31 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the
English Mint price is therefore about 1-10th per
cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex-
change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight
is about 109 t t per cent., which, when compared with the
Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex-
change is about at par ; and, after making allowance for
charges of transport and difference of interest, the present
rate leaves no profit on the importation of gold from the
United States.

THE AMERICAN MAILS VIA QUEENS_

2'o IV X.

A resolution is at present before the Cork Har-
bour Board to the following effect Any of the
companies which are at present using Cork as a port
of call shall have the privilege of landing cargoes
without charge, but any other company doing so
for the future shall be charged dues in the regular
way." As the Canadian steamers, when they com-
mence to call at Queenstown' will come within the
latter category, Messrs. Allen have protested against
such a distinction. But it is evident that, without
the new arrangement for " accelerating" the mails
works better than it has hitherto done, the mercan-
tile community will imperatively demand its reci-
sion, and our Cork friends will be saved the trouble
of further debate on the subject. The idea of acce-
lerating the mail is very plausible, but can it be
carried out with any regularity ? We
give the
first glaring instance of failure. The Canada landed
her mails at Queenstown at two p.m. on Monday,
and reached the Mersey next day, at half-past 10
a.m., but, to the intense indignation and the great
inconvenience of the large number of firms interested
in the American trade, no letters were delivered
in
Liverpool and London until Wednesday morning,
too late for them to reply by the steamers sailing
that day for New York and Canada. Had the
Canada not touched at Queenstown she would have
arrived some hours earlier. Without a special
steamer constantly in readiness at Queenstown, and
special trains again at Holyhead and Chester, vio
shall be in a similar predicament five times out of
six. Even if three or four hours can be gained (of
which we are very dubious), is the result worth the
enormous expense the necessary preparations entail.
We see that one of the members of the Harbour
Board complained that on Saturday week the mail
steamer from Liverpool was detained at Queens-
town for the mails from England. Passenger
will not like this. We say decidedly that the
Queenstown arrangement will prove a total
failure, and we advise the mercantile community
to protest against their being sacrificed by
Go-
vernment for Irish interests only. It was roaw-
tained that many passengers would join the steamers
at Queenstown, and thereby avoid the Channel
disagreeables. But they don't ; although, through
being compelled to call at Queenstown, the Mail
steamers have too frequently to wrestle with 5.,W;
gales, when they might avoid them by going
" north about." Formerly, when a steamer was
despatched from the Mersey, direct with the
American mails, every merchant was on an equal
footing. Now, if a man has no scruples about
working on the Sabbath, he can send his clients a
day's later advices than the man who transacts no
business on that day. This matter requires gra"
consideration.—Livelpool Albion.

STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS, Dec. 20.—The weather is very dull and
cold, and therefore unfavourable to business opera:
tions. This circumstance, combined. with the fcs
that commercial transactions are not usually verY
numerous about Christmas, will easily account for
the quiet state of the cloth-market this moring;
There was, indeed, only a limited attendance edi
both merchants and manufacturers at the hails, an
a very small quantity of goods were disposed 0
The trade, however, presents most of the true i -
n
dications of health and soundness. The raarnifac
turers generally have ample orders on hand,
continuing so for some time to come,
ployment is plentiful, with every prospect ef ILys
"
no fear but the productions of the manufacturer"
will meet with a ready sale in the warehouses in
due course.
MANCHESTER, 20th.—We have had a verveuilbet
yarn-market, and prices are down fully -141. P f
for counts and qualities suitable to the markets. 0
India and Germany. Home trade and Bolton VT
nings are still firm, and a fair business is reported.
and thero
Two-fold yarns are also still firm. A fair bull the
is reported in low numbers of hard twist for t'ir
Mediterranean. In cloths there is again av. ierl.
quiet market fabrics suited to India, with less, a
position to purchase, and these goods are qun'.e _
from the late highest rates o 3d. per piec'
less as regards shirtings, making a total declin;
Other
goods, such as the better qualities of printers, donle;
tics, longclo ths, and T-cloths, for the
for export, are much the same as before as to value.
There is a generally quieter market, however,
these goods, as in others, only they are firal,e,rThe
price. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :--
demand for India goods has within the isot 'e
days become very inactive, and there being
11
home trade antt
greater desire on the part of producers to 45e 2
prices are some what irregular. There is, howert:
very little business doing in them, the low Price;
offered being generally declined. Longcloths aTI
T-cloths are still in fair request, without change ,11/
prices; but printers are less inquired for, and the
late extreme rates are no longer obtained."
ROCHDALE, 19t11.—The near approach of Christ-
mas time renders trade rather inanimate,but stocks
are very low, and the tone of business is firm. There
was very little wool sold to-day, and prices
u are
without change. In flannel there is not mch
doing. The Yorkshire trade continues good.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.—Every
person having an interest in domestic or farm animals
should obtain a supply of this celebrated and economical
food, which will prove invaluable during the approaching
season. For keeping horses in'good condition it is unequal-
led. Pigs fatten with surprising rapidity upon it, and their
flesh increases in flavour and value. Cowkeepers will find
great advantage in the increased quantity and improved qua-
lity of the milk during its use. All animals are benefited by
it. A pamphlet on this interesting subject, accompanied by
Testimonials from the principal Nobility, Gentry, and Agri-
,..ulturists, forwarded on application. In casks containing
KS feeds (measures enclosed), price 505., carriage paid to any
Railway Station in the United Kingdom. Post-office orders
payable to Joseph Thorley, 77, Newgate-street, London.

chants, LIVERPOOL.
Stores Lime-street.
Offices 54, Duke-street.

The Proprietors be most respectfully to call the attention
of the trade, noblemen, clergy, &c., and the public in general,
to their extensive stock of Choice Wines, of rare vintages.
Bunnows and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the
purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow-
ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun-
tries, as the increasing Patronage of the highest families in
the land is a sufficient guarantee.

They beg to call particular attention to their pure Tonic
Wines, as being so valuable to Invalids and persons of weak
stomac'.s.

A sample ease, containing, three full-sizsd wine bottles,
will be forwarded to any address on receipt of P. 0.0. for 6s.
6d., or a dozen for 248.
t is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines
are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the
stomach, and debilitating the d'gestive organs, while pure
wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating,
strengthening, and bracing the nervous system.
Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most essential to in-
valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from
the homes of the weak and sickly. Its properties are duly
acknowledged and appreciated by the leading men of the
faculty, both at home and abroad.
To prevent imposition each bottle is sealed with the name
of the firm.

All orders to be made payable to HENRY BURROWS.

NOVEL MODE OF irOUSEBREAKING.—On Monday,
two men of indifferent character, named Tranter, were
charged before the county magistrates at Wolverhampton
with breaking into the house of Wm. Smith, an old man,
with the local reputation of a miser, who lives near Patshull,
and alone, and who is employed as a shepherd under Lord
Dartmouth. One evening, a short time ago, a man came
to Smith's door, and delivered a message as from the land-
lady of a publiehouse in a neighbouring hamlet, to the effect
that one of her cows was taken ill, and that she wished
Smith, who is reputed skilful in cattle complaints, to ex-
amine it. Ho accordingly went, and ascertained that he
had been hoaxed. He remained, however, at the inn for
some time. On his returning home he found that his house
door had been opened by forcing back the bolt, and that
about £lOO in notes and gold, which had been hid in the
seat of a hair-bottomed chair, had been stolen. Several
witnesses gave evidence to having seen the
with another man, loitering about Smith's door previous to
the robbery; and they were remanded for a week for fur-
ther evidence. prisoners, along

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last; if he shall detect, any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

' " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medircal Circular.
" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, thfr.t we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate Twice at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the.matter."—

tenant for the Northern District of London have
amalgamated under the title of the North London

companies are now in an advanced state of drill at
Angle's Riding School, and the 4th has received the
proportion of rifles allowed by Government.

LONDON IRISH.
Yesterday a meeting of the working committee
was held for general purposes, the Earl of Arran in
the chair. A large number of communications were
read by the hon. secretary from various noblemen
and gentlemen who had not previously given in
their adhesion, all strongly supporting the move-
ment and intimating their warm co-operation at the
same time forwarding handsome subscriptions. One
of the latest names thus received was that of the
Marquis of Drogheda. The use of Westminster
Hall baying been proeured, as already stated, for
drill twice a-week—viz., on Tuesday and Thursday
evenings—it was resolved to call the first muster
next Thursday evening. A telegram was received
from Liverpool last evening informing the secretary
that the committee engaged in forming an Irish
corps there had at a meeting that day (Tuesday)
resolved upon co-operating with the London body,

and a similar communication has been received from
the Manchester corps.

BARNARD CASTLE.

A very enthusiastic meeting in furtherance of the
establishment of a rifle corps at this place was held
last week. Mr. W. J. S. Morritt, of Rokeby, was
in the chair, being ably seconded by a huge num-
ber of the gentry and 'clergy of the district. The
chairman, after explaining the conditions and other
matters for general information; announced that he
intended to provide a practice ground and targets,
and-to subscribe £2O. Mrs. Morritt would give
; and no doubt many other gentlemen and ladies
would follow their example. The Rev. T. Witham,
of Lartington, also made a donation of £2O, and
othor gentlemen came forward with lesser amounts.
A committee was organised, and the name "Bar-
nard Castle Rifles," was changed to " Teesdale Vo-
lunteer Rifles."

INFANTICIDE AT HACKNEY.

Last night Mr. John Humphreys, the coroner for
East Middlesex, resumed and concluded a protracted
inquiry at the Queen Eleanor Tavern, Church-
path, Mare-street, Hackney, respecting the death of
a newly-horn female child, the illegitimate offspring
of Ann Green, a servant in the employ of Mr. Geo.
Rance, proprietor of the above-named house.
Inspector Bywater, of the N division, Hackney,
was in attendance to watch the case on the part of
the Police Commissioners ; and the accused was in
the infirmary of the Hackney Union, under the
surveillance of the police of the district.
It appeared from the voluminous testimony that
on the morning of the 9th inst., the female Green,
who had been four years in her situation, was
found ill in her bed lily her mistress, who sent for
her own medical adviser. Mr. Roper, the surgeon,
of High street, Shoreditch, promptly attended, and
saw the accused in bed. He examined her, and
was of opinion that she had recently given birth to
an infant. The accused admitted the fact, and
under the bed was found a bundle, which was
handed to the medical gentleman, :who unfastened
the covering, and discovered the dead body of a fe-
male infant. There was a ligature round the neck,
and the covering consisted of an apron. The liga-
ture round the throat was a piece of ribbon, tied in
a loose knot. The face was livid, and the tongue
protruied from the mouth. There was a bruise
oven• the left eye, and the hands were clenched.
The umbilical cord. had been torn and lacerated.

Evidence having been offered proving that the
apron and the ribbon which formed the ligature
belonged to the accused,
The Coroner proceeded to sum up the testimony
of the several witnesses, when he read over the de-
positions at length, and after the inquest-room had
been cleared of strangers for a quarter of an hour,
The jury unanimously agreed to a verdict of
" Wilful murder."
The Coroner then made out his warrant for the
committal of the accused to Newgate, to take her
trial at the ensuing sessions of the Central Criminal
Court.
The several witnesses were also bound over to
prosecute.

THE AMERICAN MAILS VIA QUEENS-

TO IFA'V

A resolution is at present before the Cork Har-
bour Board to the following effect :—" Any of the
companies which are at present using Cork as a port
of call shall have the privilege of landing cargoes
without charge, but any other company doing so
for the future shall be charged dues in the regular
way." As the Canadian steamers, when they. com-
mence to call at Queenstown, will come within the
latter category, Messrs. Allen have protested again• st
such a distinction. But it is evident that, witlient
the new arrangement for " accelerating" the mails
works better than it has hitherto done, the merean•
tile community will imperatively demand its reci-
sion, and our Cork friends will be saved the trouble
of further debate on the subject. The idea of acce-
lerating the mail is very plausible, but can it be
carried out with any regularity ? We
give the
first glaring instance of failure. The Canada landed
her mails at Queenstown at two p.m. on IVlonday,
and reached the Mersey next day, at half-past 10
a.m., but, to the intense indignation and the great
inconvenience of the large number of firms interested.
in the American trade, no letters were delivered 111
Liverpool and London until Wednesday morning,
too late for them to reply by the steamers saili▪
ng
that day for New York and Canada. Had the
Canada not touched at Queenstown she would ha ye
arrived some hours earlier. Without a
steamer constantly in readiness at Queenstown, and
special trains again at Holyhead and Chester, vro
.shall be in a similar predicament five times out of
six. Even if three or four hours can be gained (of
which we are very dubious), is the result worth the
_
enormous expense the necessary preparations entail?
We see that one of the members of the Mahon!
Board complained that on Saturday week the mail
special
steamer from Liverpool was detained at Queens-
town for the mails from England. Passengers
will not like this. We say decidedly that the
Queenstown arrangement will prove a total
fai▪ lure, and we advise the mercantile community
to protest against their being sacrificed by Go-
vernment for Irish interests only. It was WO'
tam•
ed that many passengers would join the steamer°
at Queenstown, and thereby avoid the Channel
disagreeables. But they don't ; although, through
being compelled to call at Queenstown, the 11011
steamers have too frequently to wrestle with S.:". •
gales, when they might avoid them by going
" north about." Formerly, when a steamer was
despatched from the Mersey, direct with the,
American mails, every merchant was on an ego'
footing. Now, if a man has no scruples
working on the Sabbath., he can send his clients a
day's later advices than the man who transacts 110
grape business on that day. This matter requires grape
consideration.—Liverpool Albion. about

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Dec. 20.

SOUTHWARK:—Benjamin Pollock, a respect-
able-looking young man, 18 years of age, was
.brought before Mr. Burcham charged with being
concerned with others not in custody in stealing
boots and shoes, valued at upwards of £2OO, the
property of his employers,: Messrs. Butteworth and.
Co., wholesale boot and shoe merchants, Great
Dover-road, Borough. One a the parties mainly

. received such information as led him to suspect that
they had been extensively robbed through the
agency of the prisoner and another party. In con-
sequence of that ho called the prisoner, and asked
him what he had'been doing, as he understood he
had robbed the firm ? Without any, inducement
being held out to him, the prisoner then said he had
robbed the firm to a great extent. .He also said
that on Sunday he was walking -along the London-
road when a man accosted him, and said he was In-
spector Bent, a detective officer, -and- that he knew
he had robbed his employers. They went into a
coffee-house, and then the so-called detective told
him he must take him into custody. The prisoner
begged of him to accompany him to his sister's,
in the. Southwark-bridge-road, before he did so;
and
