The trial of the parties charged with the murder of Lord

necessary, and several other witnesses were also in attendance
from remote parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
Aft inquest was held at Brighton on Friday, on the body of
Henry Solomon, the superintendent of police. The examina-
tion lasted five hours, and terminated in a verdict of" Wilful
murder" against Lawrence. • Mr. Baldey, the surgeon, thus
describes the effects of the blow;._" We found a compound
fracture on the lower part of the parietal bone, extending in
a double direction through the temporal bone, into the centre
of the base of the skull. There is a rupture of the menenge-
rial artillery, with a considerable extravasation of blood be-
tween the skull and the membranes, to the extent of about
6 oz. There is also a portion of extravasated blood ,on the
opposite side of the head. I consider these injuries to be quite
sufficient to cause death."

and attempted to deceive her by saying they had left the money on
the table. She called a person, named Fry,
to her assistance, and
him too the prisoners assailed in a very violent manner, and tore
his coat in endeavouring to e cape. They were given into custody.
Mr. GREENWOOD said Mrs. Gass had acted rightly in demanding
payment for her refreshments on the spot, for, if she were not paid
then, she might, in slang parlance, whistle for her money. The
conduct of the prisoners was very improper, and he should fine i
them IL each, or ten days' imprisonment.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
IMPUDENT RowlEity.—Two young fellows, named Hall and
Payne, belonging to a very daring gang of juvenile thieves, were
charged with entering the shop of a poor woman at Camberwell,
and robbing it of the till, containing a quantity of silver.
The complainant said that while she was sitting in her parlour,
seeing a lad enter, she went there and found another person, both
of whom rushed out, taking with them the till, containing a quan.
tity of silver, and also a coral necklace. The empty till was found
in a ditch near at hand ; and two witnesses came forward, who
identified the prisoners as having committed the robbery.
There was another charge against the prisoners of robbing a
gentleman's larder of an aitch-bong of beef and a leg of mutton.
The MAGISTRATE said that he should commit the prisoners on the
first charge, but should have them brought up again for the other
robbery.

THE. FREE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.—A large pub-
lic meeting was held last night at the Wesleyan Chapel, Long_
lane, Southwark, for the purpose of receiving the deputation from
the Free Church of Scotland, consisting of the Rev. Dr. Mackel.
lar, late Moderator of the General Assembly, the Rev. Dr.
Buchanan, and the Rev. A. K. Tweedie. Sir James Forrest,
Bart., late Lord Provost of Edinburgh, was to have presided;
but owing to his sudden departure for Birmingham, where an im-
portant meeting is to be held, Mr. -Alexander Thompson occupied
the chair. The Rev. Gentleman above-named addressed the meet..
ing. The Rev. Dr. Mackellar observed that it had been said they
had come to England as mendicants, and so they had, but not in
the ordinary or offensive sense. Since June last they had erected
500 churches in Scotland, and some hundreds more were required.
BOARD OF GUARDIANS, GREENWICH.—EDUCATION.
—On Thursday evening, at the weekly meeting of the Board of
Guardians, Mr. Powle brought forviard a motion, " That the reso.
lution of the 3d of August, ordering that twenty of the best edu-
cated boys about twelve years of age, should be employed in the
workshops, be rescinded, and that the regulations of the Poor-law
Commissioners, requiring school instruction of the children, during
three of the working days, weekly, be adopted, or that some other
equivalent arrangement be made in lieu thereof." Several of the
guardians urged Mr. Powle to withdraw the motion. Mr. Powle
said, it was a subject of such importance that he could not consent
to do ro. All the guardians refused to support the motion. Mr.
Powle said, then, of course, the motion would drop for the present,
but he certainly would bring the matter before a full Board.

THE ROYAL VISIT TO THE ISLE OF WIGHT.—The
contemplated visit of Prince Albert to the Isle of Wight, for
the purpose of inspecting Osborne-house, is not expected to
take place before Tuesday or Wednesday next, when it is
generally believed that the Queen will accompany her Royal
consort. The Directors of the South Western Railway have
had everything in readiness for the accommodation of the
royal party for some days past; and as the Court is now
sojourning at Claremont, it has been arranged to take the
rail at the Esher station, and proceed direct from thence to
Gosport, where the Black Eagle is lying in readiness to
convey them across the Solent. Several members of the
Household left. Buckingham Palace yesterday, and proceeded
by the two o'clock train to Esher, in order to be in attend-
ance on the Court during its sojourn at Claremont. The
Queen's favourite ponies and phaeton were also conveyed by
the same train to Esher for the use of her Majesty at Claremont.
THE NEW ZEALAND ComPaxv---Yesterday a spe-
cial Court of Proprietors of the New Zealand Company was held
at the Company's House, Broad.street-buildings, for the purpose
of taking into consideration the general state of the affairs of the
Company, and for adopting such measures as might be deemed ex.
pedient. Joseph Soames, Esq., filled the chair. The Chairman
'regretted exceedingly that the notice which called the present
meeting had been issued, because certain questions of immense
consequence, betiveen the Company and the Government, were still
unsettled, and until the measure of protection were furnished b•
the Government, it would be impossible for the Company to lay
before the shareholders and the public generally a statement of
their affairs. He begged, however, from the want of communica-
tion with the Colonial Secretary, they would suspend passing any
resolutions, Various events in New Zealand had occurred, by
which the prospects and success of the country might be abated,
but if sufficient protection were afforded by the British Government,
little doubt could be entertained that it would become a Nourishing
colony. A question was put by Mr. Currie to the Governor,
whether the emigrants from Scotland would be protected, as a
great number of persons from that country had determined to
emigrate to Nevi Zealand, and who had made great sacrifices to
reach the colony ? The Chairman stated that it was impossible
to answer the 'question, as there were so many persons from
different-parts of the country desirous of embarking for the colony ;
but it was proposed to adjourn this meeting to the 29th, when he
hoped to have received such information from the Colonial Secre-
tary as would establish the interests of the Company beyond all
doubt. The meeting adjourned to the 29th inst.
FREE TRADE ENVELOPES.—We have this week
seen several specimens of an envelope for letters,designed to cir-
culate, without trouble, a constant remembrancer in favour of
free trade, and especially of unrestricted commerce in the first
necessary of life. The envelopes themselves are very neat, and
the place for the direction is surrounded by ears of corn, en-
twined as a border, and bearing the motto "Free Trade."
They are issued of different sips, and in some the corn wreath
is gilt,.-Leeds Tim.
