ADMIRALTY, OCT. 1.
Notice having been given in the London Gazette of the
Ist of August last, to the effect that all Captains of the Royal
Navy, desiring to be placed on a retired list, on the conditions
therein specified, should send in their names to the Secretary
of the Admiralty prior to the Ist of October, and the officers
who have sent in their names for consideration being sixty-
one less than the number contemplated—namely, 300 ;
My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having reason
to believe that owing to absence abroad and other circum-
stances, there are many officers who have not bad the oppoi-
tunity of making themselves acquainted with the conditions
upon which the retirement is offered, are pleased to extend
the time for receiving names, from the Ist of October to the
Ist of December next.

tively that there were no bumps on the child's head when I
placed it in the bed.

.The CORONER—What did you mean by saying to your
husband, " The night you wished for is come?" Witness—
Because he frequently ill-used and threatened the child.
About a month ago, in the middle of the night, the child
being ill and crying at the time, he said if I did not keep
it still he would dash its brains about. I told him I could
not help its crying, and that if he hit it, I should hit him.
He then struck at the baby,but hit me, and I had a struggle
with him to prevent him hitting the child. He hit me on
the side of the head and rose up a great lump. He fre-
quently ill-used me as well as the baby.
Cross-examination in chief resumed—About two months
ago, during the night, he got out of bed, and thinking I was
asleep, he put his hands near me, and pinched a piece out of
the calf of the baby's right leg. The wound did not heal
until last week. I took the child to Mr. Mullins, surgeon,
who ordered me to poulticethe wound, and asked how I could
live with such a vagabond. I also went to complain of my
husband to Clerkenwell Police-court, but they told me I must
get a warrant, which I could not do for want of money.
After he had pinched the child I said to him, "How could
you hurt the poor child so, how could you be so brutish ?"
He answered, " Before I do anything better to it, I will do
something worse very likely."
The husband, in an irritated tone of voice—Be cautious
what you say.
A juror—Be silent, sir, she is on her oath.
The CORONER—By and by you may ask her any questions,
but you must not interrupt her now.
The witness in continuation—After he knew that I had
been at the police-court, he said if I would look over it he
would never ill-use me or the baby more. I did look over
it, and in a week afterwards he came home and ill-used me
dreadfully, and told a woman named Mary Foles and a man
named Snilling that he had often beaten the child, and would
some day hit it on the head. He has often said to me he
would do for it (the child) some day or other. When 1 mar-
ried him, five weeks after the birth of the child, he knew all
about it, and my mother said to him previously, " Consider,
there is a child in the way." He said, "Never mind, I will
treat it as my own." A month after our marriage he gave
the child a black eye, and in a fortnight after that be began
to threaten it. He once hit the child in the stomach whilst
it was lying on the floor, and it was very sick for two or three
dap afterwards. I have nothing more to say.
The CORONER (addressing the accused)—Your name is
William Hill, and I sent for you as soon as the witness began
to state anything legally implicating you. Do you wish me
to ask her any questions? The husband—Yes, sir. Ask
her when she took the child to the doctor's last ?

The wife—Three weeks ago last Monday. The child was
then very ill and would not eat. Mr. Mullins's assistant
told me it was teething, and gave me a bottle of stuff
which did the child a great deal of good, and it was well ever
since.

The husband maintained it was only a fortnight since, and
put several questions not at all referring to the occurrence of
Saturday night.
The CORONER—Have you any statement:to make, for I am
bound to tell you that I cannot part with you? The accused
—I hope I shall be allowed to hear all the witnesses,- and get
a copy of the depositions.
The ConoNEß—Yoit shall hear all the witnesses. The de-
positions are not yet completed.
Police-constable Daniel Humphreys, 74 G, was called in
and charged with the safe custody of the prisoner.
Mr. Benson Whitfield, surgeon, of 64, Lamb's Conduit-
street, examined—l have opened the body, and apart from
what I saw on and in the head, I found nothing material.
There was a healed wound on the right lag. Behind the
left ear, externally, I observed a blue mark on the scalp,
with a swelling upwards towards the vertex. There was no
abrasion of the skin, and the swelling was caused a short
time before death. The body appeared that of a healthy
subject. In the head, internally, I found congested blood
between the occipital and frontal muscles and pericranium.
The parietal bone was fractured to the extent of four inches,
opposite to and beneath the external wound. The fracture
was a jagged one, and the dura mater was separated from the
skull. When I opened the dura mater one ounce of blood
flowed from the pericranium. There was congested blood
near the brain. There was no other morbid appearances in
the head. All the organs of the body, excepting the left lung,
were healthy. The condition of the lung had no material
effect on the child's health. The injuries to the head, not re-
sults from natural causes, produced death.
By the CORONER—The fracture of the skull was the result
of violence—of a blow. All the injuries were simultaneously
inflicted by some hard substance. Nothing but a blow or a
fall from a great height could have caused them, I never
knew such injuries caused by a slight fall. One severe blow
would have caused them.

Sarah Swantoon, maternal grandmother of deceased, said
she was with her daughter about eleven o'clock on Saturday
night last, and left her near her home. Witness went about
her own affairs, and did not return to her own home for half
an hour, when she was told of deceased's death, and went to
see the mother. She found two other women with her. The
husband came in soon afterwards, and appeared much agi-
tated, and asked if the child was dead. The witness then
corroborated the evidence of the mother of the child relative
to the threats and cruelty of her husband towards it, and his
constantly expressing a wish that it was dead.
Chatherine Shephard said she was called in to see the dead
child, and found the mother greatly distressed. She saw the
lumps on the child's head, and accused the prisoner of being
the murderer. He made no answer. A week before the child's
death she heard the accused wish " the little (horrible epithet)
was dead." He wished so more than once. The mother was
kind to deceased.

By the prisoner—When you spoke about the infant you
were out of temper. I never saw you ill-use it.
Mary Foll, of 15, Somers-street, said she saw the child in
its mother's arms, in a pawnbroker's shop, half an hour
before its death. It was then awake, and looked remarkably
well. On Monday week the accused used expressions against
the child too gross to repeat. He frequently wished the child
was dead, and said that at night he used to stretch his arm
over his wife and strike the child on the head.

➢lr. Whitfield, the surgeon, re-examined The child's
death might have been instantaneous. It might have lived
half an hour after the reception of the injuries described.
Theprisoner here said that a person told him that a man
named Hurley had said that he often saw the child fall .from
the girl's arms that used to nurse it, and that he wondered
it had not died before. The prisoner wished to have him
called.

A man named Clair corroborated the statement of the pri.
soner.

The prisoner here addressed the Court, and said that it was
true he had in his passion often threatened the child. He had
not seen it for an hour previous to its death. If he had killed
the child he had plenty of time to escape; but his conscience
told him he was innocent, and he therefore remained to abide
the result of the coroner's inquiry, which he knew would take
place.

The man Hurley here entered the room, and said he often
saw the child fall from a girl's arms, or rather slip out of her
lap, as she sat nursing it on the steps of the door. He did
not consider the falls serious. He did not see the child fall
on Saturday last, but he saw it in the girl's arms, who was
rubbing its head, whilst it was crying as if from pain in the
head.

The jury finally, without more than a moment's delibera-
tion, returned a, v;-erdict of " Wilful murder against William
Hill."

SUICIDE.—On Tuesday, as two young women
were passing along a field near Haverstock•hill, Hampstead,
they discovered in a corner thereof a man, to all appearance
dead, lying upon the grass. They communicated the fact
shortly afterwards to a gentleman whom they met, and on
his repairing to the spot he found the dead body, still
warm, of a person apparently not more than twenty-five or
thirty years of age. A quantity of blood had flowed from
his mouth, and in each hand was a brass-barrelled pistol, one
of which had evidently been recently discharged, and the
other was loaded with powder and ball. Some constables of
the S division speedily arrived and removed the deceased on
a stretcher, to the Load of Hay public-house. He was
dressed in a blue jacket, blue cap, striped waistcoat, and
dark trousers, and in his pockets were a few silver and
copper French coins, of but trifling value. There were no
papers upon him by which any information could be gained
with regard to his name or address. He had moustachios
and very large whiskers, and it is supposed that he is a
Frenchman.

ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.
—Between nine and ten o'clock on Tuesday night an acci-
dent, providentially unaccompanied with loss of life, occcnrred
to the down goods train, which reached Bishops Stortford
near that hour. When the train was within a hundred
yards of the station, the engine was unfastened that it might
proceed to the rear of the train, and so push it into the sta-
tion. It had only moved the train a few yards when a pecu-
liar jerking noise announced that something was wrong; the
engine, a very powerful one, was instantly stopped and re-
versed, when it was found that two trucks, carrying several
tons of goods, and consequently extremely heavy, had run
off the points, owing to the nob which secured them having
been broken by some means or other. A number of men
were instantly set to work, but it was not till half-past five
that they were got on the rails. A luggage or fish train was
obliged to remain at the station for nearly an hour, and the
mail train for more than half an hour. The passengers who
came by the train, the trucks of which ran off the point, com-
plained in strong terms of the time they were compelled to
remain at the stationsoome saying, at half-past five in
the morning, that they, had been there since nine o'clock
the preceding night. The luggage train was attached
to the mail train, and they proceeded to London. The
mail, which-was due at twenty-two minutes after five, did
not reach Shoreditch until half-past seven o'clock. The
greatest consternation was caused amongst those who ex-
pected frilil

give an opinion. Some idea, however, may be formed when
we state that several hundred yards of the embankment and
a temporary sea walling was swept away, and sixteen or
eighteen waggons, besides trucks and barrows, severely
injured. Some of the waggons were found at low water
mark, others were embedded in the mud, and a great number
of tools are said to be lost. This part of the line has from
the first been deemed by persons acquainted with the locality
as impracticable as an attempt to control the tide. The
chief engineer, notwithstanding, thought differently, having,
as we have been given to understand by a gentleman likely
to know, drawn his conclusion from the fact of an old ruin
known as the Salt Pans, which is situated near the spot,
having preserved its present appearance for a number of years.
The intention of carrying the line this way it seems is now
abandoned, and a new one will be formed further in shore.
This project will be attended with an expense little anticipa-
ted by the shareholders at the commencement of the under-
taking.— Wlatehaven Herald.

St. Martin's-le-Grand, General Post-office, Wand Department,
October, 9, 1844.

Sir,—For the last three or four years lhave been labouring under
a nervous deafness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of
hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de-
rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend,
to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your
is. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so
much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my
hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should
mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in
April last, and have continued taking it since.—l am, Sir, your obe-
dient servant, W. U. ADAMS.
To Mr. W. Gemstone
Any quantity of Eye Snuff can be forwarded through the General
Post, by sending money orders. A 2s. 4d. canister, with directions,
