word of GOD to lose its power, as the sword of the
Spirit, on the human conscience, because in his provi-
dence a new system of traffic has been developed ?
Undoubtedly there was with the MOST Ificu the
foreknowledge of every shape and form of work and
traffic in this our day and generation ; and
the work of railways, both as to their for-
mation and their traffic, is comprehended in the
words, ' all thy works,' to be done in the six
working-days of the week." We infer from this that
the omniscient CREATOR of the Universe foresaw that
the time would arrive when the Great Western and
all the other railways would be carried into execu-
tion, and, consequently, he had a special eye to them,
as well as to the spinning-jenny, the Thames Tunnel,
and other " forms of work and traffic," when he laid
down the law to man that he should work six days in
the week, and rest on the seventh ! Sir ANDREW AGNEW
is, we believe, like most fanatics, a well-in-
tentioned person ; but is it possible to allude
in a more familiar, irreverent spirit to the
awful attributes of the DEITY, than he has
done in the above passage ? Would any one but
himself have ever dreamed of representing his
CREATOR as endowed with a " foreknowledge" of
the railway system ? The saintly Baronet next
goes on to recommend all railway proprietors to
agitate the question of Sabbath desecration at their
public and private meetings. "Freedom of speech
and of debate being given," he adds, "we can
reiterate our principle, and make all half-
yearly meetings as so many Lord's- day
Societies, none being suffered to pass with-
out hearing and sending abroad public testi-
monies for the truth ; and we hare the highest
authority for believing that such faithfulness may be
blessed to the convincing of many who are now op-
posed to us, for faith cometh by hearing." If Sir
ANDREW were to be one of the speakers at these
meetings, we should be disposed to say—" sleep
cometh by hearing," rather than " faith ;" but
passing this consideration, can any man con-
ceive a more absurd proposition than that the
half-yearly meetings of the railways should be
"as so many Lord's-day Societies"--in other words,
that they should constitute a strange jumble of busi-
ness and piety, where the language of the ledger
should be blended with the language of Scripture ;
and exhortations to look sharp after the dividend be
followed with exhortations to look sharp after their
immortal souls ?

The Tempted._

The accounts in the Paris papers, as well as these
published near the scene of action, leave no doubt
that the attempt of ZUBBANO to raise an insurrection
in the north of Spain had completely failed. His
followers were completely dispersed on the 19th or
20th inst., and ZURBANO himself escaped, but one of
his sons, a youth only twenty-three years of age, his
father-in-law, and several others fell into the hands of
the QUEEN'S troops. The Constitutionnel thus relates
these events :

" We have received intelligence from Bayonne, which
gives as positive the arrest of the son and father-in•law
of Zurbano, who accompanied him in his enterprise.
Both were taken on the night of the 20th, near the Ebro,
at the moment they were seeking to pass the river, in
order to take refuge in France. As to Zurbano himself,
it was supposed that he was lying hid in some village of
the high grounds, between Upper Arragon and Navarre.
It is not true, as had been reported in Bayonne, that he
had turned back :to Soria. The two prisoners, we un-
derstand, were placed in custody in the chapel of Lo-
grono. All that was waited for to have them shot was the
order of General Pavia, Captain-General of Navarre.
Zurbano's son is 23 years of age."
The Phare des Pyrenees of the 24th gives longer
details, and states that it is the brother-in-law, not
the father-in-law, of ZURAANO, who had been cap.
tured with one of his sons. No traces of ,ZUBBANO'S
flight had been discovered. That journal says :
" We have received a letter from Vittoria dated the
22d, and written at the moment the courier was about
to depart, which states the military authorities had just
received an official report announcing that Cayo Muro,
Zurbano's brother-in-law, and one of his servants, had
fallen into the hands of the Queen's troops on the 20th,
when endeavouring to gain the Ebro. One of Zurbano's
sons was also made prisoner on the night of the 20th.
" The news which we gave in our last number relative
to the rising of the communes of Anso and Echo (Upper
Arragon) appears positive. The following details have
reached us through Urdos, under date of the 21st:—
' The first act of the insurgents was to disarm
the Custom-house officers placed over that part
of the frontier. They next seized on a rich landowner
of the country, whose only crime is being a Moderado,
and they demanded from him a sum of 20,000 f., which
he was obliged to pay down to save his life. Not-
withstanding this compliance on his part, great uneasi-
ness was felt for his life, as the insurgents had killed one
of his servants. The Governor of Jaca, informed of
these events, dispatched against the insurgents a detach-
ment of 50 soldiers, who, according to the account of
persons arriving at Urdos, were made prisoners. The
officer in command of the detachment was, it is said,
killed in endeavouring to escape, and another officer,
belonging to the Custom-house corps, had met with the
same fate. The insurgents threatened to kill every pri-
soner that attempted to escape.' A letter which we have
received from Pampeluna, of the 21st, informs us that
the insurrection of the two communes met with no sym-
pathy from the surrounding valleys, and that the Cap-
tain-General of Arragon has sent troops in pursuit of
the insurgents. On his side, the Captain-General of
Navarre has directed a strong detachment on the valley
of Roncal, in order to assist in restoring tranquillity.
The news of the complete destruction of Zurbano's band
will powerfully contribute to enlighten these unfortu-
nate people, who must have been led astray by false re •
presentations."
The next scene will be the execution of the un-
happy victims of a scheme which, from the commence-
ment, held out no prospects of success. ZURBLNO
had no wealthy supporters ; he could not bribe as
NARVAEZ did ; he had to trust only to the patriotism
of the people, but the people rejected him.
The following remarks, respecting the schemes of
certain Spaniards in Paris, appears in the Freese :
" The chiefs of the Progressist and the Ayacucho
parties in Paris are preparing a political demonstration,
from which they expect great effects. We said, a short
time ago, that three Madrid journals, El Expectader, El
Clamor Publics, and El Leo del Commercio, had opened
a subscription for the persons arrested as participators
iu the late affairs of Madrid and Barcelona. At the
instigation of the great leader of the party, it was
decided that there should be sent to Madrid, to be pub-
lished in all the journals, a list of subscriptions, con-
taining the signatures of all the Progressists and
Ayacuchos in France and England. This list, which
has been circulated with the greatest mystery, has
already a large number of signatures. The first name,
we are assured, is that of General Espartero."
The same journal contains an article on the elec•
don of Mr. PoLK as President of the United States,
and thus expresses satisfaction at the defeat of
Mr. CLAY :
" That according to the accounts brought by the Great
Western, the election of Mr. Polk may be considered as
certain. We may be permitted, therefore, to examine
its bearing on external as well as on internal affairs.
The only question which affects us is whether the ten-
dency of the new Government will be injurious or ad-
vantageous to our interests, and in this point of view the
defeat of Mr. Clay does not cause us any regret. Whig
as he was, he nevertheless laboured hard to procure
the adoption by the American union of a system of
tariffs from which the manufactures of France suffered
severely. If he had succeeded in his election for the
President's chair, no doubt the present tariff would have
been maintained, and perhaps increased. To speak can-
didly, we are glad that Mr. Clay and his school have been
defeated, since the consequence may be a modification
favourable to the trade of our country. Mr. Polk, the
future President, appears disposed to reduce the duties
we complain of, and therefore Mr. Polk, Radical though
he be, is welcome to us. For the same reason his ap-
pointment will be favourably received in England, be-
cause the tariff of 1842 is equally injurious to English
interests. This satisfaction, however, will be mingled
with uneasiness. Mr. Polk is, in fact, a declared par-
tisan for the annexing of Texas to the Union. He has
likewise declared for the definitive occupation of the
Oregon territory by t=ie American forces. But these
are two acts against which England has never ceased to
protest. Being now masters of the Government, will
the democratic party and its representative pursue the
plans which they announced during the electoral con-
test? Will England, on her sid.?, persist in the oppo-
sition which she manifested at the first declaration of
such an intention ? These are questions which naturally
present themselves, and which merit the undivided atten-
tion of the political world."

" I feel," writes Mr. CARUS WILSON, in a letter
o the Times, remarkable for the force of its com-
position, and the moderation of its tone—"l feel
that I am a prisoner in this vile custody for life, and
that the Habeas Corpus Acts are a dead letter. The
Royal Court 6f Jersey has no power to bail me ; it
knows not even the form of a recognisance; and if
the Court of Queen's Bench cannot release me by
habeas corpus, it most assuredly cannot release me on
bail." The case of this gentleman—the victim of the
petty resentments of some trumpery authorities in
Jersey, on whose proceedings he is charged with
having expressed himself with (what here in Eng-
land would certainly not be considered) " undue
warmth," is of course fully within the recollection
of our readers. In former articles we have demon-
strated the enormous oppression inflicted upon him,
an English subject, by the vindictive and insolent
conduct of one of those bastard, "pie-poudre" courts
of legal vexation, which, under such sounding
names as "Royal Courts," with " Grand Baillis"
and small Viscounts, still survive to plague honest
men, the QUEEN'S lieges, in the Channel Islands.
On former occasions we were certainly disposed to
be amused with, but at the same time to treat with
contempt, the ridiculous pretensions of these irascible
insular magistrates and " Crown officers" (Gon help
us!), to a species of consecrated infallibility, unre-
bukable even by the wholesome censures of that
chartered libertine, the Press. We could conceive
nothing snore ridiculous than the unsuspecting gravity
with which M. le Bairn DOGBERRY, running his head
against M. le Grand Jurat VERGES, in his haste to
mount the judgment-seat of the Cour Royale, inti-
mated his conviction that " the eyes of all Europe
were upon them"—(as some Duke-street tailor said,
a few years ago, when there was a public meeting of
the masters to consider what " measures " were to
be taken with their revolted men). We were tickled
with the professional vanity of the Attorney-General
—(for such an office, or something tantamount to it,
forms part of the judicial state of this modern Bara-
taria, just as a popular tenore, or a foreign ballet-
master, has, now-a-days, on his staff a secretary)—
of the Jersey Attorney-General, who was willing to
do his duty, on the condition of Mr. CARUS WlL-
soN's previously apologising to the Court for having
done that which it was of the essence of his case to
show was nothing wrong, and therefore not to be
punished, and still less to be apologised for. From
the indecent " ribaldry," as Mr. WILSON justly
terms it, of the Judge who presides in this island
Court, it would seem as if a real GULLIVER were
once more entrapped and tied down by the spiteful
little people of a new Lilliput. They quarrel even
with his stature. But really their worrying has
grown into a serious nuisance; and this nuisance
must be put down.
Were we inclined, or did we imagine our readers
disposed, to go once more into the legal argument on
this case, or to discuss the startling speech of the
Solicitor-General, and the opinion avowed by Mr.
Justice PATTESON the other day in the Bail Court, on
application to have a rule for the return, in WILSON'S
case, to a writ of habeas corpus, already granted by
the Queen's Bench, enlarged, we should but weaken
the very able appeal contained in the prisoner's letter
already alluded to. And what does that letter esta•
blish ? An unanswerable case of a grievance and a
punishment, hopeless, irremediable, absolute in the
event of the Court of Queen's Bench finally deter•
mining in terms of its last sentence. No one at-
tempts to vindicate the lower Court, the Jersey tri-
bunal—its law, its . finding—or the conduct of its
members. No one attempts to deny, now, that it is
well there is a Governor on the island of so much ac

customed determination as General NAPIER ; , fur,
really, to judge from the case now before us, there is

no saying to what mischievous lengths the folly of
the civil authorities might not be pushed, were it
not restrained by the consciousness of being watched.
But who is now to move the remedial aid of the law
of the Imperial United Kingdom to the help of Mr.
CARUS WILSON, wrongfully and disgracefully im-
prisoned in an insular nook of its vast territory ? It
is evident that this must be done. Mr. WILSON must

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster before Lord
DENDLizi and a Middlesex Common Jury.)
PITCHER P. RING.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff an attor-
ney, against the defendant, the Sheriff of Sussex, for
making an improper return to a writ for levying an exe-
cution on the goods of a person named Bean, at Brighton.
The history of this case is a curious one. The plaintiff,
who is an attorney, appeared as such in Court, and was
constantly instructing his counsel, Mr. Watson. Two
juniors, Mr. Crompton and Mr. Charnock, were with
Mr. Watson, but neither of them were in Court when the
case was called on, neither did they appear in Court
during its progress.
. Mr. WATSON opened the case to the jury, and stated
, that the case had previously been before the Court on
demurrer. The pleadings were most voluminous, and
had been drawn with such ingenuity that they had
puzzled all the lawyers in Westminster Hall.
Lord DENMAN—I am sure they puzzled all the
Judges.—(A laugh.)
Mr, WATSON had sat up the greater part of last night
and the night before, to study them, and was not sure
that he actually understood them yet. In consequence
of the decision of the Court there had been a new as-
signment, and that, at all events, the plaintiff would be
entitled to their verdict.

Mr. PLArr, who appeared for the defendant, thought
his Learned Friend did not accurately understand the
record.

Mr. WATSON requested the officer of the Court to hand
him the record.

A quantity of parchment, which might have served
as a carpet to the floor of the Court, was hero
handed to Mr. Watson, who exclaimed, on receiving it,
" Why, gentlemen of the jury, here is enough of it to
furm a winding-sheet for the whole of you I" The case,
however, broke down at the very commencement. An
office copy of the return made by the defendant was put
in, and William Walker was called for the purpose of
proving it, but William Walker did not answer. He
was then called upon his subpcena, and as he did not
appear,
Lord DZNNAN directed that the plaintiff must be non-
suited.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON, &c.)
MURDER.—AIfred Edwards, aged twenty-four, de-
scribed in the calendar as au oilman, was indicted for the
wilful murder of Jane Gregory, " an unfortunate girl,"
by administering to her a certain poison.
Mr. Montague Chambers and Mr. Doane attended for
the prosecution ' • Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Parry were
retained for the defence.
Mr. CHAMBERS stated the case to the jury, and then
called witnesses.
Mary Greene, 2, New-court, Nichol-street, Bethnal-
green, knew the deceased, who lived at No. 3, in the
same court. She was a woman of the town. The pri-
soner was in the habit of visiting Jane Gregory, at her
lodgings. I remember, on the night of the 19th Sep-
tember, seeing the prisoner with the deceased in her
room. Jane called me in, and I saw the prisoner
at the fire smoking his pipe, and the deceased
sitting by him. They were both sober. I
saw a quart pot on the table, with some beer
in it, and I was asked to take some by deceased and did
so. She also drank a little of it, but the prisoner did not.
There was also a long necked black bottle and a cup
upon the table. This was about eight o'clock at night,
and there was no light in the room. I could not see
whether there was anything in the bottle or the cup. I
asked what was in the bottle, and she said only some
catsup. She did not say where she got it. She did not
say where it came from before the prisoner. I went away
and came back a second time with a light. The bottle I
could then perceive was about half full of liquid. There
appeared to be some in the teacup also of a dark
colour. She asked me to go out with her
when Alfred was gone. I said, if not too
long. I did go with her. I then went
away and put my bonnet and shawl on. I went to
the door and called Jane. Alfred was there then. In a
short time I went in. Jane was putting on her bonnet,
and he was sitting by the fire. I said, "Jane, I can't go
with you, it's ten o'clock." The young man said, " No,
it's not so late." We went down stairs then, but first
the young man put the bottle in his pocket, and the cup
was put in the cupboard. We went as far as Cock-lane,
andail and there

then about twenty minutes to eleven. I saw her again
next morning after ten o'clock.
Baron ALDERSON—Did she complain of pain before

Witness—Yes ; shecomplaincd of pain in the stomach.
I saw her about a quarter after ten next morning. She
appeared to be dying. She spoke sensibly but low.
Iler hands seemed spent and quite black. Her face was
as black as her hands. I took her hand • it felt cold and
I could not open the fingers. She said lam dying. I
said, Jane what have you been drinking ? She replied
nothing but the brandy Alfred gave her. I saw Sarah
Russell in the room and sent her for deceased's brother.
The prisoner then came in and said to her " What's
the matter ?" She said " Alfred, Alfred, how bad I am.
lam dying." He said, "What have you been drink-
ing?" She replied " Nothing, but the brandy
bitters you gave me last night.' He coloured up very
much and said nothing. I left him then with
Charlotte Scott and the deceased. When I re-
turned, the prisoner was gone. The doctor came and
advised her to go to the hospital. On the Tuesday before
the prisoner and deceased had a few words. I was in
my own room, but when he was gone, she came down to
me crying.
Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—I knew the de-
ceased about nine months. She walked the streets. She
was admitted, a ithout paying, into the Britannia, where
there was music and dancing, and liquors were sold.' She
had the small-pox about three months before, but had
recovered about three weeks before. I did not see medi-
cine bottles about her room. I did see some quicksilver
on the mantel-piece, but I did not know what it was till
the policeman told me. I never knew of her having any
disease except the small pox.
Sarah Ketteridge examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—I am
married, and on Thursday the 29th September, was at
Nichol-street, Bethnal-green. On that night, between
eleven and twelve, I met the deceased, Jane Gregory,
in Shorediteh. She complained a great deal and vomited,
but I could not see what it was. She was retching for
five minutes. She drank some cold water. When I
left her near home it was past one o'clock.
Some severe observations were here made by the
Learned Judge, and coincided in by Counsel, as to the
culpability of tradesmen in offering a premium to vice by
admitting unfortunate females free to public places of
entertainment.
Harriet Church—The deceased occupied a room in my
house. She was often visited by the prisoner. I heard

NEW COURT
The Court commenced business this morning by tak-
ing those cases upon the calendar which were connected
with uttering base coin, and other offences against her
Majesty's Mint, of which there was an unusually large
number.
The following are the names of those who stool in-
dicted :-71 Wilson, S. Wilson, Ellen Daly, Martha
Daly, George Shea, and William Payne.
The facts elicited in each case by the evidence were
of the ordinary nature developed in cases of smashing.
In the case of T. Wilson the circumstances were more
aggravated than those of his fellow-prisoners, having at-
tempted to pass for a half-sovereign a good sixpence,
which he had gilt over in such a manner as to render a
detection of the fraud almost impossible, except to the
most experienced eye. He had also violently assaulted
the prosecutor and the police when endeavouring to take
him into custody.
Mr. Ellis appeared for the prosecution, and all the
prisoners were undefended.
The jury having returned a verdict of Guilty against
all the prisoners excepting Ellen Daly and Martha Daly,
The Learned COMMON SERGEANT, in passing sentence,
said he was sorry to perceive the progress which " smash-
ing" was latterly making. The most dangerous mode
adopted by the present " smashers," who began first
with copper, then with silver, and ended with gold, was
that of passing gilt sixpences for sovereigns, and he hoped
those whose province it was to put the public on their
guard would make this system of fraud generally known.
The COURT then sentenced T. Wilson to 18 months'
imprisonment, with hard labour; and each of the other
convicted prisoners to nine months' imprisonment, with
hard labour.
At the termination of these trials (twelve o'clock) the
Grand Jury entered the Court, and having informed the
Learned Judge that they had disposed of all the bills
before them, he returned them thanks for their atter',
tion and expedition, after which they were discharged.
A welldressed and gentlemanly young man was placed
at the bar, upon an indictment charging him with steal-
ing various articles, the property of John West.
It appeared that the prisoner had taken furnished
lodgings from the prosecutor, from which he absconded
in two days aftgr, taking with
,him several articles of
wearing apparel, the property of the prosecutor and
other lodgers.
Several other cases of a similar nature having been
established against the prisoner, the jury returned a ver-
dict of Guilty, and the Court sentenced him to 12 months'
imprisonment, with hard labour.
THE LATE EXTENSIVE SWINDLING CASES.—Samuel
Edge, who was tried yesterday in this Court upon seve-
ral indictments charging him with swindling a vast num-
ber of tradesmen, in conjunction with three persons
named Henry Miller, Sarah Denver, and Charlotte Edge,
the former of whom was sentenced to transportation, was
again placed at the bar this morning, to receive judgment.
The COMMON SERGEANT, in passing sentence, said he
had consulted the several Judges sitting at the Central
Criminal Court, and neither he nor they, after a careful
perusal of the evidence, could entertain a doubt but he
was one of a most daring gang of swindlers, who lived
by plundering honest tradesmen. However, as he was
not proved to have been so deeply involved as the other
prisoners, the Court would show him more raercy, and
only sentence him to 18 months' imprisonment in the
House of Correction, with hard labour.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY,
This day, in consequence of it becoming known in this
district that, at an early hour this morning, the police
had succeded in entering a common gaming-house in St.
James's-street, and captured several of the gamblers, a
vast concourse of persons assembled in front of this
Court to witness their being brought up. The Court
was also excessively crowded by parties desirous to hear
the investigation.
Mr. Clarkson and a solicitor appeared on behalf of
the defendants.
After the night charges had been disposed of, the
defendants, fourteen in number, were placed at the bar,
in the following order, charged with having been found
in a common gambling-house, without lawful excuse,
viz., Charles Hunt, Charles Lilly, William Saunders,
John Lewis, John Nichols, Thomas Howard, James
Shaw, Alexander Vincent, George Jones, Henry Jack-
son, William Johnson, George Jones, Thomas Wood,
and George Fitzgerald.
Superintendent Hughes, of the B division, stated
that, in accordance with the orders of the Commissioners
of Police, he went this morning, between two and three
o'clock, accompanied by Superintendent Beauford of the
C division, and about twenty-five constables, to No. 64,
St. James's-street, and found the street door open ; a
second door, a glass one, was also open ; a third door
was covered with baize, and was fastened with a latch—
it was forced open, and a fourth was reached ; it was a
very strong door, covered with green baize and thick
sheet iron. It was attempted to be forced open for
about five minutes, and then one of the defendants,
believed to be Vincent, cline down stairs and said it
should be opened, if they would desist. It ' was
opened, and was found to have been secured
with three strong bolts on the inside, and a thick iron bar
fixed in the centre of the door into the stone flooring.

black look, and then poured about a table- spoonful into
the cup, and then drank it, but spat as much into the
fireplace as he had poured into the cup. He then took
out his handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and went away.
At the bottom of the stairs he spat again.
Baron ALDERSON—it is quite impossible that this wit-
ness can be correct to the letter, but it is just possible
she may be correct in substance.
t. James Gregory, brother of deceased, had seen the
prisoner and his sister in company twice, some time in
July or August. I was sent for on the morning of the
20th, and went for Dr. Smith. I saw a bottle in the
cupboard—the only bottle there of the contents of which
I tasted. I took the bottle away, and gave it to Mr.
Wheelborn, the chemist, and I afterwards went with the
police-sergeant to look for the prisoner. Found him
in a public-house in Cock-lane, Shoreditch, about fifty
or eighty yards from the place at which my sister died.
She was 17 years of age. I asked him what was the
matter with my sister. He said he did not know-311e
had taken some brandy bitters. They say (meaning the
girls in the room) that I have poisoned her.
Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—The bottle
now produced was more full when I left it at the
chemist's than it is now. My sister left her place about
two years ago, and since that time I believe has been
living in this state.
Sergeant Seeley-1 took the prisoner into custody.
I said, "It is a bad job—the girl's dead." He said,
" Good God I what I gave her was brandy bitters."
He also said that he himself had taken some of the
brandy bitters. I have often drunk of it myself.
Henry Lambert, a constable, found a piece of paper on
the mantelpiece of deceased's rooms, with a bit of quick-
silver in it. On the evening of Friday went to the
house of prisoner's father, and searched the prisoner's
bed-room, and in a drawer of the glass found a powder.
The prisoner's sister then showed me a cupboard in the
kitchen, in which I found a paper marked " sugar of
lead—poison." The paper was damp and mouldy, as if
it had not been opened for a considerable time. In a
piece of brown paper I found a white substance with no
writing on it. It had no dust on it like the first paper.
I delivered these packages to Dr. Leesom. I was present
in Shoreditch Church when the grave was opened con-
taining the body of deceased.
Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—The powder
found in the cupboard was along with bottles of
pickles, &c.
Thomas Edwards, father of the prisoner—The cup-
board was used by the prisoner for keeping pickles, and
he had always the key in his possession. I have had a
bad leg to which I have been in the habit of applying an
ointment made from red or white precipitate.
Henry: Smith proved that he drank some brandy
bittersgiven him by the prisoner, and he felt no ill effects
from what he drank.
Thomas Windmill, gave similar evidence. The pri-
soner said that the brandy bitters were very old, and had
been in his father's house for above two years. It had
been left by an old lady, who had died there. He offered
the bottle and contents for six shillings. He was per-
fectly serious in his offer. The brandy bitters produced
no inconvenience.
Smith, surgeon and assistant to Mr. Wheelborn, of
Shoreditch—l visited the deceased, and found her in bed
suffering from pains in the stomach and intermittent
pulse. The skin was very dark. I saw a bottle on the
table, and poured some of the contents into a cup and
tasted it. It felt pungently bitter and strong. I went
home to prepare medicines, but she had died in the
meanwhile. The brother afterwards gave me the bottle,
which I gave to Dr. Leesom. I made a post mortem exa-
mination of the body, and the stomach was inflamed with
small red spots, particularly at the lower extremity.
When the body was afterwards exhumed, I took the
kidneys and liver out, and gave them, with the stomach,
to Dr. Leesom.
George Roper, student of Guy's Hospital—Received
two bottles and the stomach, which I sealed up and gave
to a boy to deliver to Dr. Leesom, of St. Thomas's
Hospital.
The delivery of the package and bottles to Dr. Leesom
was proved.
Dr. Smith recalled, and examined by Mr. BALLAN-
TINE—The kidneys were not discoloured.
By Mr. CRAMBERS—The gums were not discoloured.
Dr. Leesom, Physician of St. Thomas's Hospital, and
Lecturer on Chemistry, declared the general effects of
poison on the system as a contracted position, great sen-
sation of thirst, rigidity of the limbs, &c., and accom-
panied by great pain. These sensations could be pro-
duced by a lead poison, in most of its preparations. In
the present case he observed the stomach in an inflamed
state at the upper extremity, and a trifling inflamation
at the lower part. The coats of the stomach were
partially congested, which was not usual with that
particular poison. On analysing the stomach, he
found a portion of lead therein, weighing 1 gr.
and 1 den. The quantity of water used in
boiling was somewhere about two gallons, which would
dissolve a still greater quantity of lead than that remain-
ing after the analysis. On testing the contents of the
bottle in deceased's room, I found it to contain ab-
solute alcohol, in the proportion of two to one. It con-
tained, no metallic compound whatever. There was a
sediment at the bottom, which contained chalk, and on
applying the tests for mercury and lead, found neither in
any quantity sufficient to weigh them.
The Learned JUDOiI thought the case need not go any
further, and, on Mr. Clarkson's assent to the opinion,
the jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of Not
Guilty.
The unfortunate prisoner burst into tears, and for
some time was apparently insensible to what was passing
around him.
Baron ALDERSON said that in his opinion the case
was decided, when the fact of others drinking the same
liquid, without sustaining any injury, was shown to
the Court. The unfortunate girls vicious life had no
doubt accelerated a crisis which was certain, in every
case, at no very distant day.

They proceeded into the front room on the first floor,
and three the whole of the defendants were found except-
ing Hunt. The defendant Lilly demanded what right
the police had to forcibly enter a room whore gentlemen
were assembled to play at billiards ? They were tc.ld
they must all go to the station-house for being found in
a common gambling house, and they were accordingly
conveyed there, but were afterwards bailed aut.
Cross-examined by Mr. Clarkson—There were two
billiard-tables in the room. No implements of gambling
were found in the house.
Inspector Beresford stated, that as he was standing
near the house just previous to the entry being made,
William Johnson and another of the defendants, who
were standing at the door, recognised him, and directly
ran in, and he instantly heard a bell ring, which was, no
doubt, to give the alarm that the police were at hand.
After the other defendants had been secured, he, ongoing
to the cellar stairs, found the defendant Hunt coming up
from the basement floor, and took him into custody.
The rooms were lighted up with gas, as gambling-
houses generally are. There is a billiard-table manu-
factory in the upper part of the house.
Mr. Clarkson submitted that there was not a tittle of
evidence affecting his clients, and he should at once ask
for their immediate discharge.
Mr. HARDwicx said perhaps there was no moral
doubt, but that it was a common gambling-house; but he
did not think the evidence sufficient to commit the de-
fendants for the offence they were charged with. The
Act of Parliament was a very severe one, and legal
proof beyond all doubt should be produced before it was
put in force.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Four boys, varying in ages from fourteen to eight
years, were charged with what is commonly termed
" starring the glaze."
The prisoners were observed lurking about shop win-
dows in Gray's Inn-lane, and at length one of them,
Downey, seemed to be struck with admiration at a piece
of machinery in the window of an optical instrument
maker. He Galled his companions to admire the article,
andi whilst they were screening him, he was cutting
away the glass, and succeeded in removing a large
piece ; the alarm was just then given, and they were
secured. They were well stowed with hosiery and hard
ware, which bore the shop marks, and even with pieces
of beef and pork.
Downey, who looked as broad as a Dutchman, on ex-
amination turned out to have four coats on him.
The prisoners, who are all well known to the police as
a portion of a gang who are the terror of the shop-
keepers of Clerkenwell, were sentened each to a month's
imprisonment.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

We had a full average. quantity of English Wheat.
Owing to the millers having well supplied themselves
from the late large arrivals, the demand was very heavy,
and prices were, with difficulty supported. Foreign
Wheats were equally dull, but holders would not submit
to lower figures. There was a good deal of Barley,
both English and Foreign, on sale ; hence the inquiry
for that article was very dull, and the inferior kinds
were is per quarter cheaper. In Malt next to nothing
was doing, and prices were not supported. Oats, Beans,
and Peas were in sluggish inquiry, at late rates.

SMITHFIELD.
The supply of Beasts was only moderate, and of very
inferior quality. The best Scots sold freely, at full
prices, but other breeds were a dull sale. From Scot.
land we received 100 Scots, and from Rotterdam 48
Beasts, and 50 Sheep. The number of Sheep were
scanty, owing to which the Mutton trade was firm, and
Monday's quotations were steadily supported, In Calves,
the supply of which was small, next to nothing was
doing, at barely stationary figures. The Pork trade was
dull, at previous currencies. Mitch Cows sold at from
161 to 191103 each.

Low TIDES. Yesterday morning, about ten
o'clock, the tide fell exceedingly low, and the river had
a very extraordinary appearance in many places. On
the east side of. Waterloo-bridge several arches were
completely dry, and the water was not more than thirty
feet across. The steamers had some 'difficulty in landing
and embarking their passengers at several of the piers,
especially those at Blackfriars and Waterloo bridges;
many of them grounded, and were detained some time.
Opposite Hoppe's wharf the water could be easily waded
across, arid numbers of mud darks were engaged in dig-
ging for treasures.
