CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY,

OLD COURT
(Before Mr. Baron GURNEY and Mr. Justice WILLIAms,
SENTENCE UPON AUGUSTUS DALMAS.

At a few minutes after ten the two Learned Judges entered
the Court and took their seats upon the Bench, and Augustus
Dalmas, who was yesterday found guilty of the murder of
Sarah Eleanor MTarlane, upon Battersea-bridge, on the night
of Monday, 29th April, was brought up to receive judgment.
The unfortunate man appeared very self-possessed, although
the nervous working of the muscles of the mouth exhibited
the strong agitation which he tried so successfully to subdue.
On being asked the usual question what he had to say why
sentence of death should not be passed against him, the pri-
soner, in a very firm tone of voice, said—" My Lords, God,
the great Judge, before whom I must next apppear, knows
that I am quite innocent. I was not with her (the de-
ceased) on Battersea-bridge, nor in Duke-street, nor in the
beer-shop. I was not with her, nor near her, on the night
when she was injured. lam now quite ready to receive my
sentence."

The Learned Judge, Baron GunsEy, then put on the black
cap, and in the most impressive manner said—" Augustus
Dalmas, you have been tried and found guilty of a most
heinous offence, that of murder—and murder, too, of a per-
son whom you have declared that you fervently loved. What
were the motives which could have induced you to have
committed such a crime is best known to your own con-
science and to Almighty God. That you are a man of strong
mind and passions, no one who has seen your self-command
in this Court can doubt. You have had a fair, patient,
and impartial trial, and upon the evidence adduced, twelvo
unprejudiced men have returned you convicted. Let me, there-
fore, most earnestly implore you to apply to Him who can alone
forgive (you your crimes. I have no power, neither can I
hold you out any hope, that your sentence will be commuted ;
therefore let me again earnestly implore you to pass the
few remaining days of your life in applying for mercy from
that Power which is well able to extend it. It now becomes
my duty to pass upon you the final sentence; which is,
that you be taken to the gaol from whence you came, and
there be hung by the neck until you are dead, and may the
Lord have mercy upon your soul."
The unfortunate map, who wept while the Judge's address
was being delivered to him, was then removed in custody of
Mr. Kean, the governor of Horsemonger-lane gaol.

QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.)
A labouring man, named, Wm. Lloyd, was charged by Win
Crispin, one of the officers of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelty to a horse. About 12
o'clock yesterday the defendant was driving a loaded cart in
the Knightsbridge-road ; the horse's shoulders were raw in
several places, which rendered it quite unfit for work.
The defendant said that he was told by a farrier that the
horse was fit for work. It certainly had several sores on its
shoulders, which he thought would get hard, and ultimately
well, by employing the animal two or three hours a day.—
He was fined 20s.
. _

A little girl, apparently not-more than twelve years of age,
but who was stated to be between fourteen and fifteen,named
Elizabeth Cooke, was placed at the bar, charged with the fol-
lowing conduct :
Miss Susannah Marshall, a milliner and dress-maker, car-
rying on business at No. 13, Chester-terrace, said the defen-
dant was apprenticed to her in February last, and that her
parents, who reside in Broad-street, Golden-square, paid a
premium of 151. with her. The girl's conduct was most ex-
traordinary. She was in the habit of placing her hands
under her chin for several days together, and refusing to
work, and when spoken to, stating that she had been work-
ing, and afterwards staring vacantly at her. She was
also very insolent at times. On Thursday she refused
to take an order to Berkeley-square before breakfast, though
she was merely requested to de so at that early hour for the
benefit of her health, which was not good. Witness had in-
formed her parents that she intended to bring her to this
Court to-day, but they were not in attendance.
The girl said that her mistress was very harsh to her, and
beat her repeatedly.
Miss Marshall denied that she ill-used the girl. She would
willingly return the premium, if her parents would take her
again, as she obstructed her in her business.
Mr. BURRELL committed her to the House of Correction
for ten days. .

The poor little creature did not at first comprehend the
meaning of the decision of the Magistrate ; when she did she
burst into tears and implored forgiveness of her mistress, and
was finally removed •to one of the cells, where she cried
bitterly. There was a vacancy about the expression of her
face, which the Reporter thought denoted aberration of in-
tellect ; if so, the House of Correction and the terrors of a
station-house cell are not the best asylums in which to place
a child, perhaps afflicted with a constitutional malady which
at times renders her insane.

FROM A CORRESPONDENT.—The memorable words
used by Sir Robert Peel on the opening of this session of
Parliament, in respect of the corn-laws, seem to have been
quoted not quite correctly in Mr. George Robins's announce-
ment, although it is the same in effect. The following, we
believe, may be relied on :—" Although I consider it incon-
sistent with my duty to make engagements for adherence to
existing laws, under all circumstances, in order to conciliate
support; I can say that the Government have never contem-
plated, and do not contemplate, any alteration in the existing
corn-laws."

DIED.—At Dingwall, Ross-shire, North Britain,
after a most:painful illness, which she bore with fortitude
and pious resignation, Mary, the second daughter of the late
Kenneth li(Kenzie, Esq., paymaster of the 3d West India
Regiment ; sister-in-law to Captain Thomas Munro, late
Royal Highlanders ; cousin to Colin Alexander M'Kenzie,
Esq., late British Consul at Lisbon ; also, to the Right Hon.
W. E. Gladstone, President of the Board of Trade.
A pamphlet has been recently issued containing
several interesting anecdotes of the most famous singers of
the Italian opera. These have been thus brought together to
exhibit as it were the efficacy of a secret recipe called the
Voice Lozenge, and by which Dr. Stolberg has acquired de-
served fame. Without quoting from the work, which is
neatly written, it may be but necessary to say the value of
the remedy for nearly every distressing symptom in the
throat is fully made out, and as the price places it within the
reach of all classes great good must follow its more general
introduction into this country.
ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY.—The gentlemen
cadets studying at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich,
have been supplied with beautiful new carbines, about
2ilbs lighter than those issued to the non-commissioned
officers and gunners and drivers of six companies of the
Royal Artillery, and in progress of being delivered to all the
companies in that branch of her Majesty's service. This
handsome arm has given great satisfaction. Every carbine
is as well finished as a fowling piece.
THE BARNSLEY COLLIERS' STRIKE.--The main
body of the men in this district are still out. There are a
few who have resumed their labour at nearly all the pits in the neighbourhood, and they are few indeed, with the ex-
ception of Worsborough Park collieries, where the men are
receiving as much for their labour as the colliers are asking
at Parley Maine. Richard Thorpe, Esq., of Wilthorpe col-
lieries, consented to give his men an advance on Monday, on
condition that they would give up their union cards. The
men acceded to his terms, and resumed labour on Tuesday
morning.—Doncaster Gazette.

The sale of the exceedingly handsome furniture and
selected articles of taste and vertu throughout the man-
sion called Knowle House, at Cranley, in Surrey, col-
lected by a man of fashion and unquestionable taste, has
been twice delayed by circumstances beyond the reach
of control. These difficulties having arrived at a termi-
nation, the sale is positively fixed to commence on Mon-
day next, and continue until Thursday. It has created
an extraordinary sensation throughout all Surrey. The
gentleman's known taste and liberal expenditure has
extended far and wide, and the anxiety to possess, amid
so many, one or two of the relics, will in all probability
cause the competion to be of unusual extent. The pub-
lic view this week has attracted already many hundred
persons, including a great portion of the rich and in-
fluential gentry of the country. The estate, which is
accounted one of the prettiest things throughout Eng-
land, with a demense exceeding six hundred acres of
finely-timbered park and farms, is at length doomed to
the uncertain fate of the hammer, and Mr. George Robins
has fixed on the 11th of the ensuing month as the day
for competition. There is no doubt a considerable ex-
citement will be visible with a view to possess one of
the most favoured seats throughout Surrey.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-F' AVER SHAM, JUNE 13.—0 n
Tuesday morning, about 10 o'clock, a fire broke out at a
thatched house in the village of Newnham, about five miles
from Faversham, Kent, which totally destroyed 14 or 15
houses and cottages, besides a carpenter's shop, lodges,
stables, &c. The fire is supposed to have originated from -
sparksfalling from the chimney on to the thatch of the
house, which of course was very dry from the long absence
of rain, and so rapid was the progress of the flames, which
were driven with great fury by a south-westerly breeze,
that several of the poor people were unable to save their
furniture, and are thereby plunged into the deepest distress,
being in some cases uninsured. The Kent and Norwich
Union engines, from Faversham, and the Kent engine,
from Sittingbourne, attended, and succeeded towards evening
in subduing the fire. The greatest fears were at one time
entertained that the whole village of Newnham would have
fallen a sacrifice. A subscription has been commenced for the
poor sufferers.
