DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, JULY 7.—We hear from Scheveningen that
early on the morning of the 6th a splendid English Govern-
ment steamer appeared off that port, at the distance of 300
ells, where it cast anchor opposite the bathing-house. It was
soon seen to put off a boat, in which the captain and some officers
and cadets came on shore. Various conjectures were made
during the whole day by the numerous spectators on the cause of
the arrival of this steamer. A report passed from mouth to
mouth that the intelligence published by the Dagblad, of the
Hague, was going to be realised by beginning to take sound-
ings for the purpose of making a harbour for small steam-
boats, for the English correspondence, which will be of incal-
culable advantage to Scheveningen and the Hague.
About six in the afternoon a fine Dutch merchantman was
seen to approach in full sail, which passed close by the steam-
boat. This sight was loudly cheered by the thousands of spec-
tators assembled on the terrace of the bathing-house, especially
when the Captain of the merchantman fired a salate of three
guns, but whether it was intended for the steamer or for the
fair sex, or for the fine band of music directed by Mr. Dunck-
ler, is a mystery. The English Captain, Officers, and Cadets,
having announced themselves among the numerous company in
the bathing-house, returned to their vessel, which immediately
weighed anchor, and was soon out of sight.
COLOGNE, JULY 2.—Official information was received from
Berlin yesterday, that the Prince of Russia will arrive in our
city on the 25th, and the King and Queen on the 27th of this
month. It is thought they will stop here only a few days, and
will go down to the castle of Stotzenfels. There is some reason
to hope that their Majesties will be present at the fete in ho-
nour of Beethoven at Bonn, on the 11th of August, and that
Queen Victoria, who is expected at Stotzenfels on the Bth of
August, will likewise be present.

To THE LADIES.—The high and universal cele-
brity which ROWLAND'S RALYDOR continues to main-
tain, as an active yet mild and soothing extirpator of all
impurities of the skin, is, during the present period most
pleasingly evinced. This preparation eminently balsamic,
restorative, and Invigorating, is equally celebrated for
safety in application, as for unfailing efficacy in remov-
ing all impurities and discolerations ; and imparting a
healthy freshness to the skin and complexion. Its uni-
versally great demand excites the cupidity of unprin-
cipled Shopkeepers, who give the title of " Genuine"
KALYDOR to some compounds of their own manufacture,
of the most deleterious character, containing mineral
astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and, by
their repellant action endangering health. It is, there-
fore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words
" ROWLAND'S KALYDOR" are on the wrapper. All others

BittsTor.. AND SOUTH VALES JUNCTION RAIL-
WAY.—EXTENSION LINE TO MONMOUTH.—TtIf: manner in
which the Parliamentary proceedings uuder the South Wales
Railway Bill have been lately reported, is calculated to
create an erroneous impression of that Company's plans. It
is stated that they have obtained a preamble "for a Bill to
make a railway to Chepstow, with a branch to Monmouth,"
instead of which it should have been with a branch "from.
Newport to Monmouth," that being the branch which the
South Wales Company take power to construct. The line
from Bristol to the South Wales line near the Passage, and
the extension from thence to Monmouth, are both left to the
Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway Companies; and
the branch which the South Wales Company make from
Newport to Monmouth will be upwards of twelve miles dis-
tant, in quite a different direction.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
OXFORD ClRCUlT—Abingdon, July 10

Mr. Justice Patteson arrived here at about three o'clock this
afternoon, and having opened the commission at the Bridewell
Hall, proceeded to attend Divine service at St. Helen's Church.
The assise sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Yates, the
Vicar of St. Mary's parish, Reading. There are eight causes
entered for trial, one only being a special jury case; and it is
expected that it will probably net come on at these assizes.
The calendar contains the names of nine prisoners, of whom
one is committed for arson, one for wounding with intent to do
grievous bodily harm, one for forgery, two for robbery with
violence, two for housebreaking, one for sheepstealing, and one
for larceny. The small number of prisoners is accounted for
by the assizes following so quickly on the sessions, at which it
appears a great number of cases were disposed of.
July 11.
Lord Denman, immediately on entering the town, at about
half-past ten this morning, proceeded to the Shire-hall to pre-
side in the Nisi Prius Court.
The ease of Simmons v. Gibson, the only special jury cause
in the list, and which it was supposed, if tried, would have
lasted a considerable time, was, by consent, made a remanet.
No case of any public interest was tried in this Court to-day.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice PATTECON.)
henry Scott, aged 28, was indicted for having, at Cookham,
in this county, on the 18th of May last, wounded his wife, with
intent to do her grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Pigott conducted the prosecution; Mr. J. J. Williams
defended the prisoner.
It appeared that the prosecutrix, the wife of the prisoner,
had been fur alnut a week working some distance from home,
at a place called Haygate Lodge, and that she returned to her
house on Saturday the 17th, and, being unwell, went to bed,
and did not rise till four r. M. on the Sunday following. She
went down to get some water, and it would seem that there
then took place some altercation between her and her husband,
he wishing her not to go to church, and she persisting in
doing so. She then went up to her room, and, on endeavouring
to open a box belonging to her, in order to get from it some
suitable apparel to go to church, found that the lock had been
tampered with, and that she could not succeed in unlocking it.
On this she went down and taxed her husband with having
opened her box, and asked him what he had done to the lock.
He answered, " nothing," and she said she would not have
her place examined by any of his friends, and then re-
turned to her room. While kneeling before the box and
striving to open it, she received a blow on the back of
the head which knocked her down. She tried to rise, but
fell; and, en actually rising, fell a second time. She dis-
covered her husband, and with much difficulty got from him a
hammer about a foot long, weighing nearly a pound, with
which the blow had been inflicted. The hammer was pro-
duced in Court, and there was on the handle, just under the
iron, a slight and very faint trace of blood. The prosecutrix
could not tell with which end she had been struck, whether by
the wood or the metal. The prisoner took her handkerchief
off her bosom, and tied it on her eyes, telling her he was going
to wipe them, when she replied that he need not wipe her
eyes, after treating her as he had done. • She went down stairs,
and endeavoured to get out through the back door, but it was
bolted, and while she was trying to open it, the prisoner took
the hammer from her. He then tr ok something out of a box,
in which he kept razors, went up stairs, and was seen no more
that evening by his wife. The prosecutrix at length opened
the back door, through which, however, she did not then leave
the house, but went to the front door, and called out to her
neighbour, Mrs. Johnson, for help, but no one heard her.
She then returned to the back door, and through it made her
way to Mrs. Johnson's house. Mr. Johnson, who saw her,
said she was in a very fainting state, and bleeding profusely
from some wounds in the head. He took her into his house,
and at once sent for medical assistance. The surgeon described
the injury to be a narrow contused wound on the back of the
head, two inches long, going to the bone, and a small bruise
adjoining it, just such as might have been inflicted with the
hammer produced in Court. It would not appear that the
prisoner made any attempt to escape, as he was on the follow-
ing day apprehended in his own house.
Mr. WILLIAMS addressed the jury for the defence, and con-
tended that there could have been no intention to commit
grievous bodily harm, serious as the injury was, and that the
prisoner, who was a carpenter by trade, and therefore must
have a hammer frequently in his hand, had in all probability
been irritated by the dispute about going to church, and then
by the accusation respecting the box, and had followed his wife
up stairs, and in this excitement had struck her with the
wooden handle. It was quite clear that had he aimed a blow wit h
the iron end, no human skull could have escaped being frac-
tured, and death must in all probability have been the result.
Mr. Justice PATTISON having summed up, the jury, after a
very short deliberation, acquitted the prisoner of the felony,
and found him guilty of a common assault only.
His LOILDSMIP then addressed the prisoner, and told him
that he had had a very narrow escape, as, if his wife had died
of the wounds, his crime would have been murder,and he most
certainly would have been executed for it. Asit appeared,
however, that while working on a railway, and also while in
prison, he had suffered from most violent headaches, which
almost deprived him of his senses, that would be taken into
consideration in meting out the punishment, though it was no
defence whatever for the brutal assault he had committed. The
Learned Judge then sensenced the prisoner to nine months'
imprisonment and hard labour.

HOME CIRCUIT.--.Hotford, July 11.
This circuit commenced on Thursday, on which day the Com.
mission was opened with the usual form. The business is very
light, there being only seven prisoners for trial on the Crown
side. Twenty-one causes are entered on the civil side, but the
greater part of them are undefended, and there are only three
special jury cases.

CROWN COURT.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE presided in this Court ; and after
the grand jury had been sworn his Lordship proceeded to de-
liver his charge to them. After congratulating them upon the
small number of prisoners for trial and the probability that
their labours would be of very short duration, his Lordship
said that having made all the remarks that appeared to him to
be necessary with respect to the cases in the calendar, he
would proceed to offer a few observations to them upon the im-
portant subject of the state of crime in the county. He had
before him the criminal returns for England and Wales, upon
which his observations would chiefly be founded. By these re-
turns it appeared that the number of prisoners committed for
trial, or bailed, during the past year, in the county of Hert-
ford, was 271. if they went back for ten years, they would
find that the number at that time, for the same period, was
238: and ever since there had been a steady increase ; and it
was worthy of consideration whether this could be accounted
for by the increase of the population during the same period, or
whether it was owing to the moral deterioration of the popula-
tion of the county. He observed that in every other county in
England, during the last two years, there had been a decrease
in the number of committals, and although the increase in this
county was certainly but small, yet he thought they ought to
regard the subject with a very jealous eye, and endeavour if
possible to trace out the causes of that increase. It was satis-
factory to a certain extent to perceive that although there was
an increase in the number of committals in the county, yet that
there were very few cases of viotence to the person, and the
'Tittles mostly consisted of common larceny and larceny by
servants; and while upon this part of the subject he would
mention one circumstance which in their capacity of magis-
trates he thought very important for their consideration. He
perceived by the returns that out of 271 prisoners who were
committed or bailed to take their trial, only 177 were convicted,
and as many as 94 were either acquitted, not prosecuted, or
the bills against thorn were ignored by the grand jury. Now
he should not be so unjust as to found, upon such a return as
this, a complaint of the manner in which the magistrates per-
formed their duty ; but at the same time he must take the
liberty of calling their attention to the very great proportion of
persons who had been sent to prison for a greater or less period,
and who were eventually acquitted of the charges brought
again them. It might be the opinion of some that with re-
gard to a great many of those persons, although acquitted, yet
there was no moral doubt of their guilt ; but if they placed any
faith in the due administration of the laws of the country, they
would see that they ought not to place much weight upon that
opinion, and he, therefore, begged to impress upon them the
importance of not sending persons for trial upon slight grounds.
In all cases of imprisonment it was a great evil to the party
who suffered it, and however improved their system of prison
discipline might be, yet if any one was confined upon slight or
insufficient grounds it could not fail to be a source of great in-
justice to himself personally, and very probably of evil to that
society which he afterwards joined. His Lordship then pro.
ceeded to observe that it was gratifying to see by the returns
that generally throughout England crime was on the de-
crease ; in the mining districts there had been
an increase, which was probably occasioned by the
strikes of the workmen for higher wages, which had always
been productive of crime ; and he said he would here
remark that the mere improvement of the physical condition of
the people did not appear to have any tendency to diminish
crime. As an instance of this he would state that when he
was at the last winter circuit in the county of Durham, it ap-
peared that in the coal-mining districts the workmen were get-
ting four or five-and-twenty shillings a week, with house rent
anti coals for nothing, whi!e in the other districts no more than
the ordinary agricultural wages were being paid ; but yet the
far greater proportion of crime appeared to have been com-
mitted in the former, and the extent of crime in the latter was
comparatively trifling. God forbid that he should wish to de-
press the physical condition of the working classes ; but he
was quite certain they would only half do their work
in the repression of crime if they neglected their moral con-
dition at the same time. It was melancholy to see that,
although there had been a general diminution in the amount
of crime, vet that cases of violence against the person had
very much increased, and particularly one class of offences
connected with the game•laws, which he thought he ought
not to pass over. In addition to the ordinary casts, of
being armed at night in pursuit of game, tresapassing, &c., it
appeared that during the year 1844 there were three cases of
murder, nineteen of shooting at keepers or other persons with
intent to commit murder, and two eases of manslaughter, all
arising out of offences connected with the game-laws. He
thought this afforded matter for very serious consideration ;
and without wishing to say anything invidious, he could not
help remarking that it was impossible not to lament that the
present system of protecting game led to such serious results.
Having made these observations, he would now express his
opinion that the only mode by which crime could be surely re•
pressed was to improve the moral condition of the people. It
had been urged by the advocates for the abolition of capital
punishment, that the certainty of severe secondary punishment
would certainly tend to diminish crimes of that character, but
he regretted that the returns before him, and his own expe-
rience, did not bear out that expectation, and he was sorry to
say that the crimes from which capital punishment had been
taken away had increased more in proportion than any others.
The offences of cutting and, wounding, attempts at murder, and
the crime of murder itself, haul increased thirty per cent.
There appeared to be a very great increase among the prisoners
of persons who were able to read and write, but this showed
that such an education was not sufficient, and that it was of no
avail unless the persons who received it were taught to employ
it properly, and that it would be of very little use to improve
the physical condition of the people, or to give them education,
unless education was founded upon morality and religion.
The grand jury then retired.

, STERN CIRCUIT.— Winchester, July 11.
The Commission was opened here yesterday by both the
Judges, Mr. Justice Erle and Mr. Baron Platt. Their Lore-
ships attended Divine service in the Cathedral this morning,
after which they proceeded to enter upon the business of the
assizes about one o'clock. The calendar only contains twenty-
eight cases, but exhibits a proportion unusually great of atro-
cious crimes. Two persons are charged with feloniously
wounding, six with manslaughter and child murder, while there
are no less than four cases of bestiality.

TUE DUEL AT PORTSMOUTH.

Although it is knows that the parties concerned in this
lamentable occurrence will not surrender to take their trials at
the present assizes, yet, as the depositions have been returned,
and a bill of indictment prepared for presentation to the grand
jury in the usual manner, Mr. Baron Platt made some obser.
vations to that body upon the subject upon the present occasion.
His Lordship observed that the law upon the subject of duellini,
was extremely clear, and had been distinctly laid down in the
several text books upon the subject. His Lordship then pro-
ceeded to read from Russell upon Crimes the several principles
upon the subject whieh were applicable to the present case;
and the general effect of which was, that a party who had caused
the death of another, under circumstances which disclosed a
deliberate purpose upon the part of the slayer to gratify a feel-
ing of revenge by inflicting grievous bodily mischiet with a
deadly weapon, was guilty of murder. With regard to the ease
where the infliction of death was preceded by the circum-
stucco of great provocation hew; been givfm to the

slayer by the deceased, it had been laid down that '"
to reduce the offence in such cases from murder to to
slaughter, it was essential that the wounding, batterle'nei
should have been inflicted immediately upon the ocenoiod
the provocation, for if there were a sufficient cooling t'sopt
passion to subside and reason to interpose, and the Prefev/
provoked afterwards kills the other, this is deliberate re
and not heat of blood, and accordingly amounts to %ill
If, therefore, two persons deliberately fig
