ITALY.

Letters from Rome, of the 31st ult., state that the
ex-1,-ruty CERIINSCHI was still confined in the Castle
cf St. Angelo. There was no symptom of the con-
clininn of the negotiations for a loan, without which
the PcrE cannot return to his capitol.
Tne Milan Gazette publishes the following 'recla-
mation :

" The confidence of his Majesty the Emperor of
Austria havi ig invested me with the functions of Lieu-
tenant of Lombardy, and the military command of the
Lnrobardiati provinces, I have this day taken up my
reside rce at the palace. Inhabitants of Lombardy,—
His Majesty, our very gracious Sovereign, desires to
heal the wounds which you have infliotel upon your-
selves I he wishes tranquillity and confidence to restore
These provinces to their former flourishing state,
which elicited the admiration of the world; he
wishes you to enjoy the institutions he has
granted to all the other provinces of the
realm. Experience has shown you to what results
vain theories lead, and how much bitterness and
misery they entail upon society. I trust that such illu-
sions have disappeared. A friendly hand is extended
towards you; it is the hand of peace; conduct your-
selves so that I may soon have effaced every vestige of
the past. Let every one henceforward labour to uphold
the respect due to the laws. In order to maintain their
authorily, circumstances still call for the state of siege,
which, however, shall never interfere with the pursuits
or habits of quiet and respectable citizens. I shall ba
sevtre, but just. All persons shall have free access to
me to obtain assistance and protection, and I shall prove
to you that, impressed as I am with the paternal inten-
tions of our sovereign, I have no other object in view
but that of ensuring your happiness.
" The Imperial and Royal Lientenant•Marshal,
" Prince CHARLES of SCHWABZENBERG.

ARRIVAL OF THE AVON.

So UTIIAMPION, THURSDAY MORNING.—The Avon
has just arrived. She is overdue several days. The
delay has been caused by bad weather. She left St.
Thomas at the usual time, the 15th ultimo, and was
eighteen days reaching Faysl. She brings one
million one hundred and eighty-two thousand fire
hunired and fifty-three dollars on merchants' ac-
count, principally from the west coast of America.
Three large American steamers arrived at Chagres
from New York, while the Avon was there with
immense numbers for the gold regions. Her Ma-
jesty's ship Sappho was ordered to Greytown, to
watch British interests there.

At BArbadoe3 a public meeting had been held to
promote the extension of the franchise. .

Two anti-slavery meetings had been held, one to
petition Parliament to en force slavery treaties, the
other to hear a deputation from the Anti-Slavery
Society in England.
A very large crop of sugar is expected. The yarn
crop has been destroyed.

CORONER'S INQUEST (THIS DAY)
THE LATE SHOCKING OCCURRENCE IN THE CEN-
TRAL CRIMINAL COURT. This morning, at eleven
o'clock, a jury assembled at the Builders' Arms, Comp-
ton-street, St. Pancras, before Mr. T. Wakley, M.P.,
the Coroner, to inquire into the circumstances attending
the death of Mr. James Dawney, an attorney, aged 53,
who died shortly after he had given evidence in the
Central Criminal Court, against Samuel Gueres Harvey,
a horse-dealer, for having assaulted him.
George Newman, a groom, stated, that he was in the
employ of the deceased, who resided at No. 21, Regent-
square, St. Pancras. Witness was with the deceased all
the day a the Central Criminal Court, and had gone to
the court with him in a cab. Was a witness on the
trial, and all the witnesses were ordered out of court.
Did riot hear the deceased give evidence, but directly he
had concluded, witness was called in and found his
master lying at the foot of the witness box quite dead.
'The deceased lad complained of a pain in his
chest and throat, and a difficulty of breathing. On the 3d
of November last the deceased went to the stables in
Gray's Inn-lane, where he was in the habit of putting
up his horse. Witeess was there, and saw Mr. Harvey
leave the counting-house with two hunting-whips under
his arm. The deceased followed him, and before he
could jump into his gig Mr. Harvey struck him several
times across the head and shoulders with one of the
hunting whips, with an iron top to the handle. The
deceased got into his gig, and Mr. Harvey followed him,
and continued striking the deceased with the whip. Wit-
ness endeavoured to shield his master from the violence,
and he received several blows on his arm. The de-
ceased's hat was broken, and the deceased put his arms
up to protect his head. Witness afterwards complained
of his bands having been injured and also his back. The
blood was oozing from the wounds, and had penetrated
through has coats. Witness had heard Mr. Harvey
threaten the deceased about six months since, to horse-
whip him and kick him.
Mr. William Banks stated that he was a partner to
Mr. Osborne, commission and livery-stable keeper, in
Gray's Inn-lane. Witness was present when the assault
as committed.
Mr. Clayton, surgeon, said he was called to attend
the deceased on the 4th of November last. He found
14 contusions ou his back, which was generally swollen,
accompanied by pain arid stiffness. The arms were
much bruised, and the right hand, which was also con-
siderably swollen, was in a sling. There was a largo
contu,ion on the right side of the head. Witness con-
tinued to attend him up to the day of his death. Wit-
ness had since made a post mortem examination of the
body, and attributed death to congestion of the brain.
which had resulted from the fatted condition of the heart.
The CORONER—Has the violence the deceased ree
ceived anything to do aWI his death ? Witness—CeV
tainly not.
The CORONER said it was useless to proceed any fur-
ther with the cave, and the jury immediately returned
verdict of " Natural death."

THE LATE SIR THOMAS GIBSON CARMICHAEL.—
In the notice copied from a contemporary which ap-
pear.,d in our paper of the 28th ult , of the death of this
respected Baronet at Naples, a mistake was committed
in saying that Mr. Gibson Carmichael (now Sir Alex-
ander) who succeeds his father in the titles and estates
in Peebleshire, was the issue of the second marriage,
instead of the first—his mother having been Janet Mait-
land, daughter of the late Major-General Dundas.—
Scotsman.
KENTISH Towx LITERARY INSTITUTION.-011
Tuesday last the members held their first annual meet-
ing and sonde, which was numerously attended, and
passed off very pleasantly. Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart,
M.P., presided, and the meeting was addressed by the
president, Mr. Thomas Spalding, Mr. George Cruik-
shank, Mr. Garvey, Mr. John Cassell, and others. Lat-
ters were read from Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., M.P.,
Charles Lushington, Esq , M.P., Charles Dickens, Esq.,
and Eliza Cook, expressing the r sympathy for the insti-
tution, and regretting their inability to attend. Com-
munications were also received from Douglas Jerrold,
Mark Lemon, Gilbert i'Beckett, William Howitt, George
Dawson, Thomas Roscoe, and others, who were pre-
cluded from being present. The report showed the
favcurable progress which the institution had made in
leas than twelve months, and the musical and other
entertainments were satisfactory. At the close of the
meeting a vote of thanks was moved to the chairman,
which was supported by the churchwardens of the pariah.
On Tuesday the City side of the Gresham Com-
mittee entertained the Mercers' aide of the same com-
mittee at dinner at the Albion Tavern, the Right Hon.
the Lord Mayor in the chair. Amongst the company

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COUR7I.

:Before Mr. Justice PATTESON and Mr. Justice
TALFOURD.)
THE TRIAL OF SARAH DRAKE FOR MURDER.

Sarah Drahe, aged 36. described as a spinster, was

placed at the bar this morning upon an indictment
charging her with the wilful murder of Lewis Drake, her
son, of the age of two years, by strangling him with a
handkerchief.
Mr. Bodkin end Mr. Clarke were counsel for the
prosecution; and the prisoner was defended by Mr.
Collier and Mr. Parry.
The Learned Judges entered the court nrecisAy at ten
o'clock, and the prisoner was immediately afterwards
placed in the dock. She was very respectably and be-
comingly dressed i❑ a black gown and white muslin cap,
with a far boa round her neck. Her deportment was
quint and unassuming, and she appeared to be absorbed
in deep but silent grief. At the request of her counsel
she was accommodated with a seat, and during the trial
she sat rockirg cu her sent, with her face buried in a
a hite handkerchief, suffering the meat intense emotion.
To the indictment charging her with the murder she
pleaded Not Guilty, in a voice scercely audible.
Mr. 'BODKIN proceeded to state the case against the
prisoner. He said the prisoner at the bar stood charged
with the crime of wilful and deliberate murder, an
offence which was amongst the highest known to the
Jute; and that murder was committed on her own child,
aged about two years. Ho would content himself with
stating the facts of the case as simply as he could,
and he feared, if those facts were true, they could leave
but little doubt that this unfortunate child met its death
at the hands of its-mother. Of the history of the
prieoncr very litt!e was known. It appeared she was in
the character of a domestic servant, and had the chikl
i❑ question about two years before its death; and it not
Le!ing known to any of the prisoner's acquaintance that
she was ever married, there was reason to beli,ve that

this child was the offspring of an illicit intercourse. The
LeArticd Counsel then proceeded to state the facts con•
fleeted with the alleged murder, as they have been o!ten
before the public, and as they will be found in the evi
de►.ce given at length below.
Jane Johnson was the first witness called. She said

—I am the wife of Henry Johnson, and reside at
Shirley-common, near Croydon. In January, 1848, I
was living at Peckham, The prisoner was introduced
to me in the beginning of 1847. She brought a child
to me to nurse two years ago this month. The child
was then three months old, and a boy. The prisoner
at the first interview did not call it by any name, but
she afterwards culled it Lewis, by which name it was
afterwards baptised. I was present at the baptism. The
prisoner did not tell me her own name when she brought
the child. She agreed 'to pay me 66. a week for the
child. She brought me some flannel for the child, and
she came occasionally to sec the child for the first three
months. About the end of three months I received
a letter from the prisoner. The letter was signed Sarah
Taverner. [The prisoner intimated her intention in that
letter, dated November 26, to come and see the child at
Mrs. Johnson's, on the following Thursday or Friday,
calling it by the endearing name of " my dear baby "
more than once.] I received that letter in April. I
did not see the prisoner again until February, 1849. I
had not then received any money from the child, but I
received letters from her in the meantime. On her
coming to me in February last, she said she could not
leave her home be fore that time to come and see the
child, as her mother was very ill. She then said she
would take the child to an institution in Boulogne. She
said the child's father had been brought up there. She
paid me 1/., and she was then still owing me 101. lls.
She took the child away with her, but left the clothes.
I went with her to the Dover station. She paid her fare
to Dover. I saw her go off with the child in the
train. She came back to my house with
the child the next night. She told me she
had been to a doctor, who had told her
that the child had got the water on the brain, and that
it would not. live hag, and that she had better take it
back to where the child bad always been brought up.
She said she would riot take it away any more if I would
keep it, fur she was going to service, and would do the
best she could for the chid. I then agreed with her to
receive five shillings a week for the child, The child
wes then very ill. I did nut see the prisoner again be-
tween that February and the month of November, but
I received some letters from the prisoner in the mean

tin w; and 121. was remitt,d to me. In November the
b dance due to me was 91. 10s. On Tuesday, the 27th
of November, I received a letter from the prisoner, in
h;'r hand-writing, dated from Edward-street, Dor-
sz t-square. In consequence of receiving that
letter, I went on the day of its receipt to Edward-
street, Dorset-square, where I got some information
which made me go to Harley•street. I did not
know the number that evening. On the morn-
ing of the 13th, I went to 33, Harley-street,
a little after ten, taking the child with
me. (The witness here began to cry very much.) I
said, " Good morning" to her, and she said " Good
morning, Mrs. Joknson, I thought I would see you
about my dream." I said she was a very cruel waman
to cause me so much pain and trouble. She said she

could not help it, and she could not send me any more
money. I said I had not come for any money. She
said she did not know until the night before that she
was not going abroad, and that the family had put it off
till the spring. I told her she had no intention of going
abroad, and she asked me to go into the kitchen for a
few minutes until she had seen her mistress. I staid in
the kitchen for a few minutes, and I afterwards went
into the housekeeper's room with the prisoner on her re-
turn. I told her .1 must leave the child, and would not
take him home any more if I found where she wae.
She asked me to take him home for a week, and I said
I would not take him back any more. She said the child
was looking much better, and had got much stronger.
I told her he had got quite well, and had grown a hearty
huh* fellow. I then told her she had better take his bat
and pelisse off the child, else he would take cold. She
did take them off. There was a little baddkerehief round

his neck belonging to me, which I said she had better
keep to keep him warm when she took him out. I told
her ho would soon want something to eat ; and she said
" Very well;' will he eat anything ?" And I said
" Yes." Nothing else passed. I then left the child in
the housekeeper's room, and went out of doors. As I
was going up the area steps, the prisoner calledpn me.
I bad already told her my husband intended to summon
her for the money. The prisoner called out to me, and
asked how much the money was, as I was going up the
area steps. I told her 91. 108. She said nothing more,
and I went home, leaving the prisoner in Harley-street.
I last saw the child alive in the housekeeper's room. The
kitchen maid came twice into the room to speak to Mrs.
Drake during this interview, but she did not stay. On
the following Friday I again called on the:prisoner alone,
in the housekeeper's room. She said she had got a
frieng who would take the child and would lend her the
money; and she would pay us in the fitst week in
January. She asked me if I had received a letter. I
said, no; but if she had sent one, my husband would
receive it about two o'clock on that day. I had brought
up the child's clothes with me, and I gave them to the
prisoner, along with the bill. She said, " Very well;
I'll look at the bill, by and-bye." I asked her to kiss
the baby for me, and she said "Yes, I will." Sho told
we she had got the child out of the house without any
one knowing. She did not give the name of the person
to whom she had sent the child. On my return home I
found a letter from the prisoner. On Saturday, the Bth
December, I went down to Leverton, in Nottinghamshire.
A coffin was shown to me there, containing the dead
body of a child. That was the body of the child I had
had to nurse. There were some clothes beside the coffin
hieh I recognised. They were the clothes belonging
the child; they consisted of a frock and black petticoat
and some other things, amongst which I recognised a
handkerchief, a pelisse, and hat. After I knew the
prisoner's name was Drake I called the child Lewis

Drake.
Cross-examined by Mr. COLLIER—The prisoner psid
me for the child's maintenance for the first three months.
I never had occasion to call the child by its Christian
name. I always called it Taverner. I have heard him
called Lewi frequently in my house, and Lewi only.
Ite-examincd—When I spoke of him to other people
I have always called him Lewis Drake.
Mary Ann Wigz,ll said—l was kitchen maid in the
service of Mr. Huth, in Upper Harley-street. The pri-
soner entered Mr. Huth's, as cook and housemaid, on
the 26th of November. On the Wednesday afterwards
I remember Mrs. Johnson coming to the house and
bringing a child with her. She asked for the prisoner,
and was shown into the housekeeper's room. That was
soon after ten in the morning. Mrs. Johnson came
into the kitchen for a few minutes, and I
afterwards saw her return into the housekeepera
room. I had occasion to go into the housekeeper's
room to ask some question, when I saw Mrs. Johnson,
the child, and the prisoner there. I afterwards saw
Mrs. Johnson leaving the house by the area steps, and
the prisoner asking her a question on the steps. Mrs.
Johnswe did not take the child away with her. The
prisoner on coining into the house went into the pri-
soner's room. In the course of that morning I saw the
prisoner again, about half-past twelve, in the kitchen.
She told me the woman had caused her a great deal of
trouble. She was then speaking of Mrs. Johnson. She
said she had been responsible for money to her, and that
the woman had said her husband would summon her.
About a quarter of an hour after this conversation the
prisoner asked me if I bad a small box which I could
let her have. I said I had one, and I would let her
have it. She said she would get me another soon. She
said she had got some clothes which were of no use to
her, and which she wanted to send to her sister, as they
might be useful for her sister's children. She did not
have my box; she did not ask me again for it.
The servants dined at half-past ono that day, and the
prisoner asked what time the servants' dinner was that
day, as she wanted to write a letter, and she would do
so whilst the other servants were dining. I saw her
about half past two o'clock again, I having been dining
in the interval, When I saw her it was in the kitchen,
and about half-past two, and she told me she had packed
her box. I then west into the bed-room where the pri-
soner and I slept. I saw there a box in a wrapper all
round it, and sewn with white cotton. That was one of
the boxes she brought with her when she entered the
service on the Monday. The box remained in the
bed room all night, and at half past seven o'clock next
morning I carried it to the butler's pantry at the request
of the prisoner. It was so heavy I could hardly cat ry
it down. She told me to take it down to the butler's
pantry, and give it to Mr. Glasse, and he would send a
boy with it to the station. The butler was in his pantry
when I took it down. I told the butler what the pri-
soner had said to me. I saw the box in the pantry
an hour and a half afterwards, and then I lost sight of it.
On that same day I put a letter in the post-office for
the prisoner. The coverproduced is the cover of the
letter. I have :hat box. It was shown to
me at the Marylebone Police-court. (T'ne box was
here produced and identified.) I have also seen the
