The supplies of potatoes haue fallen off considerably, and
the demand for most kinds has become somewhat active,
on higher terms. Last week's imports were 67 bags from
Antwerp, 420 baskets from Lisbon, 115 bags from Rotter-
dam, 37 tons from Dunkirk.

Although there is rather more spirit in the public sales
now in pyogress, prices still rule lid. to 3d. per lb. beneath

very dull, at almost nominal quotations.

SEEDS.
The linseed market continues without improvement, and
prices are the tura losyer than last week. Relined can only
be disposed of on easier terms. Canary is dull, and other
seeds are quite neglected. Cakes are less active at barely

SPORTING 11' 0 TES.

The running at Newmarket influenced the Derby
betting considerably, and made many people who
had backed and betted against certain Derby
horses, " unaisy in their minds." Promised Land
won with an ease which reminded one of the
triumphant "Eclipse first and the others nowhere.'
But it must be confessed that he beat a bitter bad
lot ; and I make this assertion in the full remem-
brance of Phantom's performance on the Friday.
The surprising manner in which Actaeon "chopped"
North Lincoln has directed attention to his
Derby chance, and although a popular notion
obtains that Actaeon is no stayer, yet his powers
of endurance have not been tested in public at
least. With Marionette and Trumpeter also in
the race, the Days of Danebury are likely to be
again dangerous over the Epsom mum,. and to
revive the good old days of Andover and Hermit,
who in 1854 ran first and third. The question
of who shall be premier in the betting is exciting,
as much attention as to who shall be Pre-
mier in the Government. Promised Land and
)fusjid have each a staunch body of adherents,
and a well-known bookmaker and a little captain
are the leaders of the two parties. Already much
money has been betted between the two horses as
to which of them will retain the office the longest,
but no efforts will be spared to keep The Land at
the top of the poll. It has been denied on authority
that Mr. S. has no share in the horse ; but if this
be the fact, bow came he to be a party to the match
between The Land and Musjid ? and how came he
to sign the articles for that match ?

Marionette's position in the betting was much
damaged by the defeat of Ariadne, but with me he
has unrolled no feature of his popularity. Ido not
expect very great things of Trumpeter, who has a
most doubtful leg, but still he may yet make a
noise in the world. Musjid retains his position
with much firmness, and the confidence of Sir
Joseph and his friends is daily increased. Although
Wells is rapidly recovering from his Chester acci-
dent, yet it is doubtful whether we shall see him
in the saddle on the Derby Day. It is stated that
Sir Joseph Hawley has engaged Johnny Osborne,
than whom a more steady and accomplished horse-
man does not exist.

The Oaks certainly looks " a foregone con elusion ,"
for Mayonaise, but I do not believe that the Derby
is such a " moral" for Promised Land as is gene-
rally believed. Larn inclined to look to the ranks
of the outsiders to finish the winner of the Derby
this year, and although I cannot at present deter-
mine under which thimble the little pea is hid, yet
I fancy it will turn up in something of the Glen•
buck and Old Robert shape.
I am not going to Doncaster, and I know little
or nothing of the proceedings appointed to take
place. Many of the animals that have engage-
ments in the north have also appointments in the
south, and it is therefore difficult to say whether
they will be intended for both meetings or reserved
for only one.
The Birthday filly may show the popular harle-
quin jacket again first past the •post •, albeit many
people seem inclined to believe that her York suc-
cess was a mistake. She will have an awkward
opponent in Lifeboat, who will be troublesome,
despite the fact of his being out of his distance.
Of course, Lupellus will win the Hopeful Stakes,
if sent, but should Mr. T. Parr be disinclined to
let him make the journey due north so far, the
good-looking Oxford may pull through.
For the Steeplechase, Gibraltar and the Curate
look attractive on paper, and as the reader pays
his money he may take his chance.
Mr. Saxon's best, or the Lady Mary colt, may
win the Chesterfield Plate, and the:Spring Handi-
cap seems to lay between Shafto and Princess
Royal. A FRESH MAN.

SIR .1012 N PAKINGTON AND SIR
JAMES GRAHAM.

We have been requested to publish the following
correspondence :

" AdMiralty, May 12.
"Dear Sir James Graham,—l feel obliged to call
your attention to the following passage in your
speech at the Carlisle dinner, as reported in the
Times

" ' Captain Carnegie informed the First Lord of
the Admiralty he had made inquiries at Dover, and
he was satisfied success was impossible without the
use of means which, as a man cif honour, he could
not use. The First Lord of the Admiralty said
" there is no option," and intimated that he must
go to Dover.'

" You have thus imputed to me that I pressed
Captain Carnegie to stand for Dover, knowing at
the time I did so that he could only win by corrupt

means.

"I am sure you would not have made this impu-
;ation had you been aware that it is totally un•
rounded.

"I have no recollection of a single word having
passed between Capt. Carnegie and myself as to
corrupt practices being -essential to success at
Dover.

" Captain Carnegie did not allege in his pub-
lished letter that he had made to me any such state-
ment.

"I know nothing of the Dover constituency my-
self, and I am not aware that I have ever heard or
read a word imputing corruption to that constitu-
ency, except a paragraph in Captain Carnegie's
letter to that effect.

"It is true that I told Captain Carnegie he had,
'in my opinion, no honourable option ; but those
words referred to the conditions on which he had
accepted office, and were spoken, as I think I hardly
need assure you, without the slightest reference to
imputations upon the people of Dover, of which I
had never heard.

" I shall await your answer before I make this
Letter public.
" I remain, dear Sir James, yours faithfully,
"JOHN S. PAKINGTON.
" The Right Hon. Sir James Graham, M.P."

" Netherby, May 13.
" Dear Sir John Pakington,—My reference to
Captain Carnegie's refusal to stand for Dover was
based entirely on Captain Carnegie's published
letter, giving a detailed account of that transaction.

" Ihave no copy of that letter he7e ; and some
time has elapsed since I read it. But I stated what
appeared to me to be the substance of Captain Car-
negie's declaration, and I used nearly his words as
far as I could remember them.

"I considered myself at liberty so to do, because
Captain Carnegie's letter has hitherto, to the best
of my belief, remained uncontradicted.
" You now tell me that the imputation of having
still pressed Captain Carnegie to stand for Dover
when informed by him that the means to be used
there to insure success were inconsistent with his
honour is totally unfounded.
"If I have erred in any particular, or have in
the least misrepresented the purport of the conver-
sation between you and Captain Carnegie, I readily
express my regret.
" I can assure you that I had no such intention.
" I am yours very faithfully,
" J. It. G, GRAHAM. " The Right Hon. Sir J. S. Pakington, Bart., M.P."

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY."
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE RICHARDS-JUDGMENT.
His Honour gave judgment this morning in the matter
of this bankrupt, who was described as a 'wire worker, who
11)Plied a short time since for his certificate, thqxranting
which was opposed on behalf of Messrs. Seale watt ,Low,
of the deposit bank, Leicester-square, on the ground that
they had been induced by the bankrupt to discount bills
drawn by a person named Welshman, described as of
Castle-terrace, Hastings, who was stated to be a gektlethan
of fortune, and that the bills had been given for work
done. Welshman was brought up on the last occasion,
being in custody for debt, and he swore that he signed the
bills in blank for the bankrupt.
His Honour ordered a suspension of the certificate for
twelve months, and when granted to be of the third class.

SHERIFFS COURT.
MR. KERR, THE NEW JUDGE-BUSINESS OF THE COURT.
The newly-elected judge took his seat this morning, and
from his manner it appears that he is quick and endowed
with great coolness. He was to all appearances quite at
home in his judicial seat, and he combines great severity of
manner with a not too stiff dignity.
Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Clarke, of Bedford row and Mr.
Beard having consulted as to the business course to be
pursued, Mr. Buchanan applied that applications should be
taken first, adjournments second, and new trials last.
It very frequently happened that a professional man who
had an application to make was kept sitting about all day,
until the rising of the Court, whereas if the business of
the Court was slightly altered matters would be greatly
facilitated.

His Honour was extremely anxious to facilitate business.
But supposing that there were many applications, suitors
summoned for a quarter to ten would be kept waiting. He
would consider the matter.
Mr. Clarke, of Bedford row, said—He had been induced
to apply to his Honour upon a subject of the greatest im-
portance, and one that affected solely the suitors of this
court. A short time since, he, Mr. Clarke, had to pay a
heavy fee of £2 ss. merely to apply for his fee. Defendant
had paid the debtupon:the morning of the trial of the cause,
and in every other court, in such a cage, applications for
the solicitor's fee were not subject to the payment of hearing
fees:

His Honour found that it was not in the power of the
judge to make any alterations, but he would like tohave the
two applications inwriting before him, whenhe should take
time and thoroughly consider them.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TRIS DAY.)

GUILDHALL.

EXTENSIVEPLITE ♦ND CASH ROBBERY.—Sarah Smith,
a stout, well-dressed woman, was charged with being in
unlawful possession of a quantity of silver plate, valued at
£4O, stolen from the premises of Messrs. Bell and Salter,
dentists, of 17, New Broad-street, on Friday last.
It appeared that the prisoner went into Sine's, in Barbi-
can, on Saturday evening, and offered to sell a quantity of
plate. As the plate tallied with that advertised by the
police she was detained, and Bull and Leonard, City de
tectives, sent for. The prisoner, who declared the plate
was her property, was taken into custody.
The plate was identified this morning by the prosecutors,
who stated that it was stolen from their premises by burg-
lars, and that £5O in cash had also been taken.
The prisoner was remanded to Friday next.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
STEALING A HORSE AND CAD.—George Rowse, 51,
Swinton-street, Grey's-inn-road, driver of cab 3,936, was
charged with stealing a cab (2,686) and horse, of the value
of £4O, the property of Mr. Arthur Stepley, cab proprietor,
of 7, Warwick-street, Golden-square.

From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that the
prisoner entered his service on the 7th inst. as a driver,
and on the evening of the 9th went out with the horse and
cab, of the value of £4O, and never returned. He hoard
nothing of him till the previous night, when he was in
custody, and when he admitting selling the property for
£lO to a gipsy in Whitechapel.

Batchelder, 430 A, said that on the previous night he
was in Swinton-street, Clerkenwell, when he saw the pri-
soner and another man about to enter a house, and on ask-
ing him if his name was not Rowse, he denied it, and ran
off. He, however, pursued him, and took him into custody,
when he admitted selling the horse, cab, and harness for
10 ; and on searching him he found the sum of £8 3s. Ild.,
and that he was wearing a new coat, which he said he had
bought out of the money; and on the inspector (Mr.
Holden) asking what he had done with the rest, he said he
had spent it.

In answer to Mr. Bingham, the prisoner said he was
ipsy at the time he sold the horse and cab.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT WEST-

MINSTER.

888 MAJESTY AT ALDERS'S-OTT.

The opening of the military season at camp was
marked by the visit of her Majesty to Aldershott
on Saturday. It was expected in the beginning
the
of
the week that the Royal party would arrive at
Pavilion early in the morning so as to affords time
d .e
for witnessing the evolutions of the
the day ; but if such an arrangement was ever ing
tended it was not carried into effect, as it was past
5 o'clock before the Royal cortege reached camp,
and no movements of any kind took place among
the forces. Her Majesty, accompanied
.by thde
Prince Consort and the Princesses Alice an -
Helena, arrived at the Farnborough station at a
quarter to 5 o'clock, where they were received by
Lieutenant -General Knollys, Commanding-in-Chief
at Aldershott. The Royal party at once entered
their carriages, and, escorted by a detachment of
the 10th Hussars, drove to the Pavilion, where a
guard of honour from the 9th Regiment was sta-
tioned. The preparations, with a Royal salute
fired from the North Camp, were all that marked
the visit of her Majesty. Not half a dozen people
were alang the road to see the cortege pass, and
there is no doubt but that this absence of crowd or
mobbing on these occasions is one of the reasons
which makes her Majesty so partial to visiting
this bleak spot. In the evening the Royal. party,
attended by a of the chief officers
visited and inspected the recently inercected
permanent barracks, near the little hamlet which
gives its name to the whole cantonments. The in-
fantry barracks have been occupied for some time,
and are found to answer all the high expectations
.
the
which were formed of their efficiency.
With
troops they are exceedingly popular, and would be
still more so but for the fact of all the parades being
formed of loose flint stones, which destroy their
shoes so rapidly that this, in conjunction with
other causes, renders it almost impossible for the
men to keep out of debt. Among the other causes may
be reckoned the excessive fatigue which all the
corps have in turn' to undergo in making roads,
banks, levelling parades, &c. These duties beyond
all question form one of the most important por-
tions of a soldier's education, a portion, too, which
till lately, has been most sadly neglected in the
English army. When this training was first
begun at camp the troops employed on such
fatigues were allowed extra pay, which made the
work popular, and reimbursed the men for the un-
doubted loss they suffered in wear and tear of uni-
form, boots, &c. Within the last 12 months, how-
ever, this extra allowance has been withdrawn,l
and as a matter of course the labour has become
vastly disagreeable since it has ceased to pay.
There is no doubt but that in principle soldiers are
bound and ought to render their service in camp
duties of all kinds without requiring extra allow-
ance for such necessary fatigues as road or parade
making. At the same time it would seem that,
when this labour involves a wear and tear of
clothes to such an extent that the men cannot keep
out of debt, a small allowance to secure them from
loss might be made without incurring an expense
worth speaking. of, or establishing a precedent
which might be injurious to discipline. The Royal
party, after inspecting the Cavalry Barracks,
which are already occupied by the men and horses
of the artillery, with the 10th Hussars and a por-
tion of the 4th Dragoon Guards, proceeded to a
newly-finished wing of the block which has only
just been completed, and which, in a short time,
will be filled by the cavalry corps expected at
camp. The Royal party then returned to the Pa-
vilion, where they remained for the night. Yes-
terday morning her Majesty and the Royal family
attended Divine Service in the church at the
Camp,where, to prevent the crowding which would
otherwise doubtless have occurred on such an oc•
casion, tickets were previously issued to the regu-
lar congregation only, and beyond these none
were admitted. In the afternoon her Majesty
drove out in the vicinity of the camp, though the
Royal party must have been considerably incom-
moded by the blinding clouds of dust which almost
obscured the face of the country, and which can be
seen nowhere in such distressing perfection as on
the bleak-looking sandy plains which surround the
camp cn all sides.
The effective strength of the camp, which has
been lately reduced by the departure of the North
Down Rifles, 650 strong, and 550 officers and men
of the 100th Royal Canadians, now amounts to
14,200 men of all arms. Deducting camp guards,
sentries to keep the ground, and non-effectives, the
force which will be reviewed in. the Long Valley
by her Majesty, to-day will amount to about 11,000
infantry, with 1,200 cavalry, 18 guns, and propor-
tionate detachments of Engineers, and Military and
Engineer train. The first brigade, composed of the
2d battalion of the 4th, the 11th Regiment, the
36th Reginient, the Staffordshire Militia and North
Wilts Rifles, with a battery of artillery, will be
under the command of Major-General Lord William
Paulet. The 2d brigade, consisting of one battery
of artillery, Ist battalion of the 9th, 2d battalion
of the 11th, 3d West York Rifles, East Kent Militia,
and Oxford Militia, will be commanded by Major-
General the Hon. A. Spencer. The third brigade,
of the 2d battalion of the 47th, a detachment of the
100th, the Antrim Rifles, and the Stirling,shire
Militia, will be under Major-General Lawrence;
Major-General Lawrenson commands the cavalry
with one troop of Horse Artillery. The Antrim
Rifles, 750 strong, are a recent addition to the
strength of the camp, and make up the deficiency
caused by the removal of the North Down Rifles.
Of the regiments now in cantonments the 2d
battalion of the 4th is under orders for Corfu, and
the 36th is also likely to go to the Mediterranean.
These regiments, we believe, will be replaced by
the 4th battalion of the 60th, and the 2d bat-
talion of the 22d, each about 850 strong. There
will also, we understand, be a large addition made
to the Cavalry forces, and about the Ist of June, or,
soon after, this arm of the service in camp will be
reinforced by the Ist Life Guards, the sth Dragoon
Guards, 18th Royal Irish Hussars, and very pro-
bably the 11th Hussars. These, with the addition
of another troop of Horse Artillery, one for the
Heavy Cavalry, and one for the Light, will give an
effective cavalry force of somewhere about 4,000
sabres. A considerable addition is also expected to
the Infantry, but mostly of militia regiments, and
a summer camp will be formed as usual at Cove-
common. The Ist of June is the date at present
fixed for some regiments to march out and encamp
at:Woolmer. This date is of course only named,
subordinate to the condition of the weather. While
at Woolmer, the whole force will be on the usual
field rations, killing their own meat, making their
own bread, and in all respects living as if on actual
service against an enemy. Each brigade will pro-
bably remain a week at Woolmer, returning to
Aldershott when another division is ready to occupy
its place. To prepare the men for this mild kind
of campaign, but which, mild as it is, is of the
greatest service to the troops when they do com-
mence active service, men of each company are
already being instructed in the important duty of
killing their own meat and making and baking
their bread. As a flock of between 50 and 60 sheep
are killed and consumed each day in camp, there is
no lack of opportunity for the men acquiring a
competent knowledge of how their food should be
slaughtered and prepared. Mr. Stevens's bread-
making machine has been-tried by the men, and is
found to answer very well, completely kneading the
flour, and turning out whiter and better bread than
that made by hand. Some few kinds of field ovens
arc also being tested at camp, and a very simple
one by Mr. Robinson,binson, of the Commissariat Depart-
inent, is likely to answer well.
During the prevalence of the easterly wines the
camp has not been so healthy as it usually is at this
season of the year, and the proportion of deaths has
risen much above tha average.

MA NCHES TER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE
New I CDI. r TARIM—A meeting of the directors of the
Manchester Chamber sf Commerce was held on Thursday,
the principal business at which was the consideration of the
new Indian tariff, imposing increased import duties. Mr.
Edmund Potter, president of the chamber, occupied the
chair, and there were 17 members of the board present.
After some discussion, a resolution was unanimously
adopted, and ordered to be sent to Lord Stanley, President
of the India Board, deprecating the resort to increased import
duties on manufactured goods as a means of raising perma-
nent revenue. In the course of the discussion it was agreed
to be desirable not to prejudice the steps taken by the Indian
Government in the present extraordinary emergency as re-
gards finances, theresolution adopted being a protest against
the continuance of the now system, or any extension of it
hereafter, as calculated to be greatly injurious to England
and to India, and as detrimental to the interests of free trade.
By a subsequent resolution the president and vice-president,
with Messrs. Henry Ashworth,, A. Findlay, and Murray
Gladstone, were appointed a committee to consider and re-
port upon the whole subject of Indian finance.—..lianchester

CLEVER ESCAPE OF A PRISONER.—On Friday

was then taken charge of by,lnspector Hodson, belonging
to the railway pollee, at the Bricklayers' Arms station, and
at once conveyed to London. Previous to leaving for Ash-

ELECTION INTELLIGi INCE.

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, FRIDA'T MORNING.

The polling for Galway commences to-day, and,
in anticipation of disturbances, troops are pouring
into the town. Private letters state that there is
little or no doubt of Mr. Gregory's return, his sup-
porters embracing men of all parties, who regard
,him as a useful and practical member. All the
small farmers are breast high in hiS favour, and
'offers have been made by numbers of them and
others to pay his expenses by shilling subscrip-
tions at the chapel doors. There is an apprehen-
sion of bad work in any place where landlord
compulsion may put Mr. Gregory in a minority.
The nomination for the King's County took place
yesterday amid some excitement. Mr. O'Brien, in
the course of his address, directly charged Mr.
Pope Henessey, the paid official of the Government
in the Education-office, with having received
Treasury aid for the purpose of annoying the
Liberal party in the county. Mr. Henessey, how-
ever, denied the soft impeachment amid a tempest
of groans and other ebullitions of popular dissatis-
faction. Notwithstanding the noise • and tumult,
the four candidates were heard out, and the show
of hands was unequivocally declared in favour of
the old members. Waterford county has for the
first time these many years elected without a con-
test a full-blown Tory in the person of Mr. Walter
Talbot as the colleague of Mr. Esmonde, the Liberal
Roman Catholic. At the hustings, and when safely
declared to be the sitting member, the Derbyite
party spoke out, and pronounced Lord J. Russell's
amendment to have been a most factious and un-
principled act on the part of the noble lord the
member for the city of London.
The last private accounts from Londonderry speak
unfavourably of Mr. Gieer's prospects. Heretofore
the Roman Catholics and Presbyterians pulled well
together in this county, and by union were enabled
to return their candidate. Religious rancour, how-
ever, has partially severed the alliance. Mr. Greer's
vote against the Spooner craze has given deep
offence to a large body of his former supporters,
who, while quite content that the Presbyterians
should receive the public money in the form of
reyium donum, will not hear of the Roman Church
obtaining Government aid in any shape. If, there-
fore, the Presbyterians are deprived of the Parlia-
mentary services of Mr. Greer, the loss is to be
ascribed to their own prejudices.

DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING.
The struggle has nearly ceased, the fate of five
counties only remaining to be decided, and of these
Kilkenny will be the last, and probably the hardest
fought. Four will be concluded to-night, and the
results known in London on Monday morning.
Nearly all of yesterday's returns in cases of contest
are imperfect, but the figures at the close of the first
day's polls clearly indicate that the Conservative
gains in Irish counties will far exceed the most
sanguine anticipations of the Carlton Club. Thus,
Clare is already gone from the Liberals, and Lime-
rick, Londonderry, and Roscommon are likely to
follow, and the only probable set-off to these losses
is Louth, where the popular Tory (M'Clintock) was
by a few votes at the foot of the poll on Friday. It
would be therefore rash to speculate on a Liberal
success in that quarter.
Limerick could find no more suitable successor to
Mr. De Vere than a gentleman whose name was
quite unknown to the public at large. and who,
moreover, does not appear to be generally popular
with the electors of his own caste. Roscommon
must be set down as another instance of bungling,
in which.the bishop and priests played the Mar-
plots to admiration. Galway, it is to be presumed,
is safe. Oddly enough, though Sir Thomas Burke,
the Roman Catholic, topped the poll on the first
day, the Liberal Conservative and Protestant, Mr.
Gregory, monopolised all the enthusiasm, and the
Roman Catholics, clergy and laitylworked night
and day to secure his return. There were two un-
opposed returns yesterday. Leitrim sends back
Dr. Brady (Liberal) and Mr. Ormsby Gore (High
Tory.) Dr. M'Hale's influence in Mayo being
among the events of the past, Captain Palmer (Der-
bvite) and Lord John Browne (Whig) were re-
elected without there being at any time since the
dissolution even a rumour of opposition. The two
Tories (Sir Robert Gore Booth and Mr. Charles W.
Cooper, a relative of the late member) were also
returned for Sligo without a contest. The county
roll, consequently, wants only Kilkenny and
King's County and Wexford to complete it. The
Cork, Examiner of yesterday announces its belief
that continued ill health will compel Mr. Fagan to
retire from the representation of that city, in
which ease it is the intention of Dr. Lyons to offer
his services to the constituency on Liberal princi-

pies.
The rejection of Mr. Miller by Armagh borough
has terribly annoyed the ultra-Tories. The Down-
shire Protestant, the recognised organ of the
Orangemen, and of course highly orthodox, has the
following remarks upon the Lord Primate, who, in
common with every landlord in the kingdom, might
be supposed to have a choice between rival candi-
dates : _ _

" With one lamentable exception, not a true
Protestant has lost his seat at the city and borough
elections in Ireland. That exception is Mr. Miller,
the late member for Armagh. One old man in
Armagh has done more to bring this about than any
other. One old man has again distinguished him-
self there in a position of hostility to the Protestant
cause. One old man, whom some people romantically
talk of as an honour to the Established Church, has
used the primacy of that church to prop up May-
nooth. And so Mr. Bond goes into Parliament
again, to vote against Spooner, to tell in the London
clubs how Protestantism is served in Ireland by
the Lord Archbishop of Armagh."
Strange terms these—Cardinal Wiseman in the
black books of certain of his co-religionists, and the
Protestant Primate denounced by the Orangemen
as a traitor to the Established Church!

ATTEMPTED MURDER BY A SOLICL
TOR' S CLERK.

At the Southwark Police Court on Saturday,
James Haycocks, a respectable-looking young man,
about 19 years of age, clerk to Mr. Pritchard,
acting High-Bailiff of Southwark, was brought
before Mr. Burcham, charged with attempting to
murder Mr. John Elias Smith, managing clerk to
Mr. Lilley, solicitor, 41, Blackmawstreet, Borough.
Mr. Chipperfield, of Trinity-street, who appeared
for the prosecution, said that it was his painful
duty to prosecute the prisoner for having committed
a very serious offence—that of attempting to murder
Mr. Smith with a large sharp bread knife, which
he had specially bought for the purpose. The pri-
soner had formerly been in the service of Mr.
Lilley, and for some neglect he was discharged,
and his idea was that Mr. Smith had been the
cause of it. However, that was not true, as his
client had been his best friend, having saved him
his situation on two occasions. Nevertheless,
the prisoner's hatred was so great that he medi-
tated murdering his friend.
The prosecutor was then sworn, and he stated
that he had been many years managing clerk to
Mr. Lilley, solicitor, Blackman-street, and Peckham.
He knew the prisoner as having been a junior clerk
in the office for about two years, and he left to go
to his uncle, a linendraper, at Braintree, in Essex.
Twelve months ago he came to London again,
when R fitness re-engaged him, but his conduct was
so negligent that Mr. Lilley complained and
directed him to be discharged. Witness remon-
strated with him, and retained him some time
longer, but at last Mr. Lilley was compelled to dis-
charge him.
The prisoner, in a violent manner, exclaimed,
" That's an infamous lie."
Mr. Burcham told him that such conduct was
highly improper. He was placed in a very serious
position, and ought to behave himself properly
while the witness was giving his evidence. It was
important that he should remain quiet.
Mr. Smith, in continuation, said that when the
prisoner was discharged he made use of threats,
but he never dreamt that his revenge would have
carried him so far as to make an attempt on his
life.

Mr. Burcham asked him to state what the pri-
soner did to cause his being placed in that dock?
Mr. Smith said that, shortly after 10 o'clock in
the morning, he was standing in Blackman-street,
conversing with Mr. Lilley, the barrister, when he
saw the prisoner lurking about with something in
his hand wrapped 'up in paper, and as soon as he
saw that witness had noticed him he went away.
_ _

Shortly after Mr. Lilley left him he went into his
room, and as soon as he was seated at his desk there
was a ring at the bell, which was answered by one
of the clerks, and immediately afterwards the pri-
soner rushed into his room in a frantic state, and
taking a large knife from his breast rushed at wit-
dess, exclaiming, " Take that, you villain." Wit-
ness, however, noticed what he was about, and as
the prisoner was aiming at his throat he fortu-
nately seized him by the wrist and forced the knife
from his grasp. He locked the knife up in his
drawer and mildly asked the prisoner why he had
made such a wicked attempt to murder him. The
prisoner replied that he meant to murder him,
as he had ruined him.
Mr. Burcham asked him whether he made a
spring at him with the weapon ?
Mr. Smith replied that he did ; but, fortunately,
witness perceived his actions, and caught hold of
his wrist before the knife could reach him. As
soon as witness had secured the latter, the prisoner
ran about the room beating his hat in with his fists,
and his whole demeanour was that of an insane

person. Witness had some difficulty to restrain
him until a constable came, when he was taken to
the station-house. He produced the knife taken
from the prisoner. It was a large black handled
one, very sharp, and must have inflicted a serious
wound, had he not observed the actions of the
prisoner.
Mr. Burcham asked him whether he knew where
the prisoner was at present employed ?
Mr. Smith said he was clerk to Mr. Pritchard, at
the Town-hall, but his conduct there was very
strange.
The prisoner here said that his mind was so
troubled that he could not do anything. He could
not get peace night nor day through Mr. Smith.
His head was like being on fire, and his heart beat
fearfully.
Mr. Burcham inquired whether he had made
such an attempt on his life before ?
Mr. Smith said that he had not, and he could not
account for his doing so on this occasion, as he had
been his best friend.

The prisoner nervously said that was false. He
was turned away through Mr. Smith, and while he
was with Mr. Lilley he was kept in such a state of
excitement that it brought on typhus fever, and he
was obliged to leave.
Mr. Smith, in answer to the magistrate, said he
had no recollection of his having the typhus fever.
He might have had it when he left.
The prisoner here exclaimed that Mr. Smith

knew that he caused the fever, and he now felt as
if he must commit murder. He could not help it.

Sergeant Sparrow, 13 M, said that previous to
the prisoner going to Mr. Lilley's office, he went to
a cutler's, and asked for a pig's knife, as he wanted
to kill a pig. The cutler had not got such a knife,
but he showed him a bread knife, which the pri-
soner selected, and induced him to sharpen it for
him. His worship would perceive that it was as
sharp as a razor.
The prisoner here, in a very rude manner, said,
"Of course it is. I meant to do for him, therefore
I had it sharpened."
Sergeant Wise, the acting inspector of Stones'.
end police-station, informed the magistrate that
while he was taking the charge the prisoner made
use of similar observations. He really believed he
was not in his real senses.
Mr. Burcham said he was of the same opinion,
therefore he should remand him until Friday next.
In the meantime his friends could be communicated
with, and the prison surgeon would have an oppor-
tunity of examining him.
The prisoner, who loudly called out that he must
commit murder, was then removed to Horsemonger-
lane Gaol, by Downe, the gaoler.

PREMEDITATED MURDER BY A
BROTHER-IN-LAW, AT HO.RNSEY.

Samuel Adams, aged 35, a dirty, dissipated,
ferocious-looking man with club feet, described on
the charge-sheet as a shoemaker, residing at No.
30, Mary-street, Kingsland-road, was placed at the
bar of the Clerkenwell Police-court, before Mr.
Tyrwhitt, on Saturday, on remand, charged with
maliciously cutting and wounding, with intent to
do grievous bodily harm to Martha Page, his sister-
in-law, at Howard-road, Hornsey. The poor
woman being now dead, the charge resolved itself
into one of wilful murder. _

The charge was first brought under the notice of
the magistrate on the 6th inst., but although she
was then in a dying state, her deposition has Rot
been taken. The facts connected with this dis-
tressing case, as far as they have yet been collected,
show that the prisoner not only contemplated the
murder of his sister-in-law, but that of his wife
also. It would appear that in consequence of the
lazy, dissolute character of the prisoner, his wife,
who is a hard-working, respectable woman, was
compelled, some mouths since, to leave and keep
herself. This seems to have very much annoyed
the prisoner, and he has several times said he would
be revenge I, "if he swung for it." On the morn-
ing of the sth the prisoner was seen by a female
who resides in the same house as the prisoner,
sharpening a shoemaker's knife, and he then stated
that before the day was out he would do something
desperate. He was then persuaded not to do so, but
he said he would, and; placing the sharp.partof the
knife in a cork, so that ho should not cut himself,
proceeded out. According to the facts, as ascer-
tained by Inspector Langdon, of the N division, it
would appear that the prisoner at once proceeded
to the place where the deceased was engaged nurs-
ing a relative, who was lately confined, and, knock-
ing at the door, was informed that he could not see
his sister-in-law. Some time afterwards, the poor
woman left the house in company with a female.
when the prisoner followed for a few yards, and
then running in front, plunged the knife into the
lower part of the deceased's person. The deceased,
who was in her twenty-fourth year, and in a weakly
state of health, was conveyed to the German Hos-
mNpvioetiallin,eadDlianelffisttheoeeni,ioNtVwhheaertrepshaitertwwoaasfs

was brought up pro forma, and was told that per-
haps while he was there the woman was dead, and
that then he would be charged with the capital
offence, he merely said, " Well, a good job too."
The deceakil, who maintained her senses to the
last, and was very respectable, died in the German
Hospital, while the prisoner was at the court. The
following is the evidence already taken
Police-constable Bolton, 466 N, said that on the
afternoon of the sth of this month, he was in the
Howard-road, when he heard a cry of "Police" and
" Murder," and was called to take the prisoner into
custody for stabbing a young woman. The female
was in a fainting state, and said she was wounded
in her side. When he took the prisoner into cus-
tody, he was told the charge, but he said nothing,
He searched the prisoner, and found upon him a
sharp knife, such as is generally used by shoe-
