CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER.

An inquiry took place at Navestock, last week,
before Mr. Lewis, the coroner, and a respectable jury,
touching the death of Martha Phillips, the wife of a
labourer, who was found dead in a field in that parish.
It appeared, from the evidence adduced, that the
decetsed was found lying on her back in one of Mr.
Hicks's fields ; an umbrella and can of beer were by her
side, and her clothes were in disorder, and her pocket
turned inside out. On her being removed some
blood came from the right ear. There were appear-
ances about the ground as if there had been some
struggling.
Rebecca Phillips, a daughter of the deceased, stated
that she was in good bealth and spirits the day be-
fore. She went out with a can for some beer for
dinner at about half-past twelve o'clock. There had
been no quarrelling. Her health was not generally
good ; she complained usually of pain across the
chest. Sach's beer-house, to which she went, was
about a mile from the house of deceased.

William Millbank, a gardener, who was sitting at
the beer-shop when the deceased arrived, stated that
she called for half a pint of beer and drank it ;
and that when that was done, she called for
another. Two men, named Baker and Young,
were there and had beer also. She "went away
about a quarter before two o'clock, and took three
pints of beer away with her in a can. She
asked Young if he was going home to dinner; he
lived under the same roof in the family of deceased.
Before she had got out of the yard Baker and Young
followed. They were a little fresh but not drunks
Another witness stated that subsequently to this
he saw the deceased and Young walking together
under an umbrella, and Baker walked on before.
It was' stated that deceased frequently got drunk,
and would then fight. Baker deposed to having
seen Young and the deceased go together into
the field in which she was found, and lie down
on the ground. 'When he: came out of the
field he had a snuff-box, which he said she had
given him. But he put a stone into it, and threw it
away, and several times told him not to say anything
about what he had witnessed. Young, who was in
custody, stated in his defence, that as they were
going along the road, the deceased made a proposition
to him, and asked him if he would give her any money.
He told her no; she then got over the gate, and he
turned back. _ _ _

The CORONER having summed up, the jury returned
a verdict of Wilful Murder against John Young, and
he was forthwith committed to take his trial.—

IN THE MATTER OF THE EARL AND COUNTESS OF

DTSART.-JUDGMENT.

Dr. LUSIIINGTON proceeded this morning to give
judgment in this important case. The suit was
originally instituted by the Earl of Dysart to enforce
the Countess to return to his house, his real object, as
stated by his counsel, being to protect himself against
any liabilities incurred by the Countess as his wife.
She petitioned, and in her pleadings stated that from
his former cruelty she was now afraid to resume her
conjugal duties, lest she should again be subject to
personal violence.
His HoNoua had great difficulty in coming to an
immediate conclusion, as the evidence adduced on both
sides was of so contradictory a character, and therefore
it would be necessary for him, in the exercise of his
duty, to enter at considerable length, and at the
haasrd of being somewhat tedious, into the details
of the case. His Honour then dwelt minutely on the
statements of the different witnesses, and concluded
by saying, that in his conscience be believed, that
that these unhappy dissensions were in the
first instance occasioned by Lady Dysart's
own violence, unguarded language, frequently
absenting herself from her husband's roof,
to enjoy the greater indulgences of her father's house,
and one primary cause of these divisions might be
found in the little effort she made to consult his tastes,
his habits, his wishes--he would even say his eccen-
tricities. But ho (Dr. Lushington) did not exclude
the Noble Earl from blame. His language was such
to his wife as no man, even in the most degraded
state of society, would use to the veriest pro-
fligate, and hik passions were not kept under
that proper control which was so necessary in a man of
his irritable temperament. Yet again, he said, that
looking over all the evidence, he could see no reason
why Lady Dysart should not return to her duties and
to the shelter of her husband's roof. ,
The petition was accordingly dismissed.
An appeal was entered against the judgment.

ILLUMINATED MAGAZINE.

We miss the Editor's allegorical " Chronicles of
Clovernook" this month—a sad miss, for they are
usually the cleverest and most thoughtful articles in
the Illuminated Magazine. In lieu of these, however,
Mr. Jerrold contributes one of those short, racy tales
of real life conveying a useful moral, in which he so
greatly excels, and which is called "Lizzy's Black
Hair." The subject of the story is soon told. A
poor village girl, whose parents are in the lowest
state of destitution, refuses to have her luxuriant back
hair cut off—an act of presumption which so shocks
the squire's lady, who has no notion of poverty giving
itself airs, and presuming to be vain, that from that
moment she withdraws her gracious patronage from
the fair offender. Slight as is this incident, Mr.
Jerrold has turned into excellent account in his usual
caustic manner. The " True and Particular Story of
King Midas" is a humorous poem of the Ingoldsby
school. The illustrations, as usual, are of a very su-
perior character.

BANKER'S MAGAZINE.

This Magazine, as will be anticipated from its
title, is exclusively of a practical character, and con-
tains some intelligent observations on the subject of
the "Income-tax," whose objectionable features are
forcibly pointed •ut, together with the injurious
effect they have had on many banking establishments,
and on joint-stock companies generally. It is easier
to show the mischief than the utility of the income-
tax, notwithstanding that Sir Robert Peel is so firmly
persuaded of the excellence of this odious impost.

POLYTECHNIC REVIEW.
Among the other articles in the August Number of
this periodical, there is one on the subject of the
" Metropolitan Buildings Bill," now on its passage
through the House of Lords, which the writer, surely
without sufficient reason, defines as "a Bill of pains
and penalties for the protection of London from
further extension." The descriptive " Sketches of
Constantinople," a hackneyed, and indeed exhausted
subject, is treated with skill and vivacity.

MODELS of VENICE and LONDON in the OLDEN TIME.

Painted by Danson and Telbin.
The sensation caused by this unrivalled pro diction Is beyond all
former precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer
are all struck with its extraordinay beauty and fidelity of delinea-
tion,dod •re unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex-
hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific
display at Dusk is unjust; it should be seenin the calm stillness of
the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa-
cious Lake, to be fully appreciated.
The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS on Mondays, Tues-
days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays conoucted uy Mr. Godfrey,
are up-ri a scale of more than usual excellence; lint words tail in
doing justice to the awful representation of
THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON.
Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same
time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic
Art, that delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands
who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit
that :,:outliby, ;he Unrivalled Pyrotechnist has achieved a matchless
triumph.
The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect
state, And combining so ninny and interesting features, are by far
the most attractive lounge in or near the metropolif.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.

REPORT OF SELECT COMMITTEE OF TIIE
HOUSE OF COMMONS ON GAMING.
(Ordered to be printed 20th of May, 1844.)

Some time has elapsed since we gave a notice of
this Report. It has since been reprinted, together
with the Minutes of Evidence and Appendix. From
the evidence we are inclined to quote some curious
extracts; but at present have only room to select,
from the answers of Peter Cloves, Esq., the following
curious notice of reverend betters and levanters. It
is instructive enough :

What do you suppose is the reason that the clergy
hare discontinued attending the turf?—l never knew
more than two or three. _

How many of those have you known levanters?—l
have known two; not more than that in the course of
my life.
How many have you known betting? —I hardly ever
knew a clergyman bet beyond those.
You state that you have known horses withdrawn pre-
vious to the great races, and other practices which you
consider unfair upon the turf; do not you consider those
exceptions?—Certainly.
And that in general the proceedings on the turf are
carried on honourably?—Yes, I think so, certainly.
And that even those clergymen and such practices are
exceptions?—l do.
Are the clergymen you allude to men occupying high
stations in the Church ?—Yes.

Was time given to those clergymen who levanted?—
One of them went abroad, and the other has not been to
Tattersall's for some time.

Perhaps those gentlemen may not themselves have re-
eeived the bets they won ?—That I cannot tell; persons
of course will not pay if they know that they are not
themselves paid; the public have nothieg p do with
ivho-reeeive or who do not receive; tlity`fmghtlobe able
to pay what they bet.

SPORTING MAGAZINE.

There are two embellishments in the present
number of this veteran periodical—one representing
the well-known game of " thimble-rig," as played by
the knowing ones at Epsom and Ascot before Sir
James Graham interdicted the amusement; and the
other, which is called " Aeronautics," representing a
heron flying away with a small bird which she has
pierced with her long, sharp bill. The first plate is
the best, and exhibits much variety of low, flash,
sporting character. Among the literary contents, in
addition to the usual sporting intelligence of the
month, we find a whimsical account in verse of the
late remarkable trial in the Court of Exchequer
before Mr. Baron Alderson respecting the case of
Running Rein.

POLYTECHNIC REVIEIV.

Among the other articles in the August Number of
this periodical, there is one on the subject of the
"Metropolitan Buildings Bill," now on its passage
through the House of Lords, which the writer, surely
without sufficient reason, defines as "a Bill of pains
and penalties for the protection of London from
further extension." The descriptive " Sketches of
Constantinople," a hackneyed, and indeed exhausted
subject, is treated with skill and vivacity.

LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY,

A numerous and influential meeting of the inhabitants
of Peterborough, convened to discuss the merits of the
proposed London and York Railway, particularly in
reference to its connexion with the city of Peterborough,
was held on Thursday last, at the Town-hall. Earl Fitz-
william in the chair.
The meeting was attended by a deputation from the
London and York body, consisting of E. Beckett Denni-
son, Esq., M.P. ; Francis Mowatt, Esq. ; Richard Hodg-
son, Esq., M.P. Francis Pym, Esq., of the Hasell; and
J. N. Foster, Esq., of 13iggleswade. There were also
present the Hon. M. Fitzwilliam, Charles Chaplin, Esq.,
of Blankney ; J. N. Heathcote, Esq., of Connington
Castle, Hunts ; George Rowley, Esq , of the Priory, St,
Neots ; S. E. Cooch, Esq., of Huntingdon ; the Rev.
W. Strong ; and other gentlemen of the town and
neighbourhood.
The Noble CHAIRMAN having opened the business of
the meeting,
Mr. Milian proposed a resolution to the effect that,
in the opinion of the meeting, a direct Railway between
London and the North would be productive of great

the line, and to the agricultural districts through which
gitenPaersalseda. resolution was affirmed by the meeting the
sentiments of the Noble Chairman ought to be ob-
tained.
FrrzwaLum had no hesitation in complying
with the wish of the meeting. He was bound as a
public man to consider the present measure, and to see
whether it would be advantageous to the nation at large,
as well as to the local interests of the neighbourhood,
and, comparing them together, his firm conviction was
that the measure now proposed would be eminently con-
ducive to both. The Noble Chairman then gave some
statement of the enormous traffic . live stock, from
which it appeared that upwards of 90,000 fat sheep, and
6,000 bullocks annually passed through Peterborough
on their way to Smithfield. There was another thing
that he wished them not to lose sight., of, and that was

ARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY. •
Factors were much more firm in their demands than for
some time past. For the finest descriptions of both red and
white English Wheat an advance of is per quarter was gene-
rally required, but which the millers were unwilling to give ;
however, the trade for that description of produce may be con-
sidered steady at prices quite equal to those of Monday last.
During the past week, duty has been paid in London on about
47,500 quarters of foreign Wheat. Of English Barley scarcely
a parcel was brought forward. Malting and distilling sorts
supported their value, but grinding descriptions were is per
quarter lower. For Malt last week's figures were with diffi-
culty supported. Beans and Peas at barely late rates. Flour
was excessively dull, and a decline of 2s per 2801bs was sub-
mitted to. In seeds no advance can be noticed in prices.

The Beef trade was in a sluggish state, at, in most:transac-
tions, a decline on Friday's currencies of quite 2d per 81bs.
However, the primest Scots were mostly disposed of
at prices varying from 3s 8d to 3s 10d per Blbs ; but a
large portion of the inferior breeds left the market unsold.
The numbers of Sheep were moderately good. Prime old
Downs commanded a steady sale, at fully last week's quota-
tions ; while in most other kinds a fair business was doing,
and late rates were well supported. The Lamb trade was
very dull, at a decline of,;2d per 81bs, the highest quotation
being 4s 8d per 81bs.ralves 2d per 81bs higher than on Mon-
day last. Pigs ruled about stationary.

HER MAJESTY.—The last accounts received in
town from Windsor Castle are dated last evening, at
which time her Majesty was in the enjoyment of most
excellent health. Summonses to the Cabinet Ministers
to hold themselves in readiness to attend at Windsor
Castle are all prepared at the Home Office, but they
have not yet been issued.
Another Cabinet Council, which was attended by
all the Ministers, was held at the Foreign Office to-day,
at two o'clock. The summonses for holding this Coun-
cil were issued, by the direction of the Earl of Aberdeen,
on Saturday evening.
PRANCE.—The progress of religion among the
working-classes of Paris—the children of the Revolu-
tion—may be gathered from the following paragraph in
the Ami de la Religion :—" The monthly reunion of the
operatives of the Faubourgs St. Denis and St. Martin
took place on Sunday last, at seven in the evening, in the
Church of St. Laurent, under the presidence of the
worthy and zealous pastor of that parish. Notwithstand-
ing the temptations which the amusements at the fete of
" La Villette," in the neighbourhood, might have
thrown in the way, those honest people assembled in the
church to the number of a thousand ; their conduct was
most respectful during the singing of vespers and the
prayers ; and their sympathy was expressed, in a lively
mannerfor, the lay orators who addressed them on the
subjects of labour, religion, and perseverance in moral
conduct, the whole scene being exceedingly interesting."
—Cork Examiner.
WHAT PRICE WILL WHEAT FETCH ?—The only
time (1826) when reaping commenced so early as the
22d of July, it was succeeded by a very wet season.
This may be the case in the present year. Nothing
but extraordinary bad weather can prevent abundance,
or sustain prices of wheat from falling very considerably

BANKER'S MAGAZINE.

This Magazine, as will be anticipated from its
title, is exclusively of a practical character, and con-
tains some intelligent observations on the subject of
the "Income-tax," whose objectionable features are
forcibly pointed out, together with the injurious
effect they have had on many banking establishments,
and on joint-stock companies generally. It is easier
to show the mischief than the utility of the income-
tax, notwithstanding that Sir Robert Peel is so firmly
persuaded of the excellence of this odious impost.

LAW AND 1.0-ILICE.

At the Stafford Assizes, William Beards, aged 35, was con-
victed of the wilful murder of Ann Griffiths, at the parish of
Wednesbury, on the 16th of March last, and sentenced to be
executed. _ _

Mark Sherwood was indicted at Newcastle for the murder
of his wife, Ann Sherwood, in March last, found guilty, and
ordered for execution.

At the same Court Jane Purvis, a middle-aged woman, was
indicted for the wilful murder of her illegitimate child, at
Leatham Shank, near Berwick-upon•-Tweed, on the 23d of
June, by cutting its throat. His Lordship having summed
up, the jury, after being some time out of Court, found the
prisoner guilty of concealing the birth.—To be imprisoned
for twelve calendar months.

At Bodmin, ➢latthew Weeks was indicted for the wilful
murder of Charlotte Dimond, on the 14th of April last, by
cutting her throat. The jury retired for about half an hour,
and the foreman then said, " We are of opinion that the pri•
soner is guilty." The Learned Judge then put on the black
cap and passed sentence of death upon the prisoner, assuring
him that no mercy could be extended to him in this world.
The particulars of this extraordinary murder are given in the
assizes reports.
James Frost, aged 33, was charged, at Norwich, with the
wilful murder of Harriet Frost on the Bth of April last.
When called on to plead to the indictment, he said guilty
enough in the eyes of the world, but not of God. He was
acquitted on the ground of insanity.
The following is a summary of the arson cases which stood
for trial at Norwich—they were ten in number, and the par-
ties implicated were ten also ; of these there were, convicted,
4 ; acquitted, 2 ; bills ignored, 4 ; total, 10.

The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all
former precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer
are all struck with its extraordinay beauty and fidelity of delinea-
tion,aiwi .re unanimous in pronouncing it the roost wonderful ex-
hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific
display at Dusk is unjust; it should be seen in the calm stillness of
the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa-
cious Lake, to be fully appreciated.
The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS on Mondays, Tues-
days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays conoucted uy Mr. Godfrey,
are urn a scale of more than usual excellence; I,nt words fail in
doing justice to the awful representation of

Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same
time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic
Art, tnat delight is predominant over terror; and the 'thousands
who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit
that houthby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist has achieved a matchless
triumph.
