CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.-DRY GAS METERS,

DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the test et six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use,
they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of
Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Clab-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.
All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his
meters. _ _

Testimonials from the most eminent and
Kientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or w4il be .forwarded by past).free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin
.s-lane, London.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)

Mr. Newdegate, M.P., owner of the Gruff Colliery, had paid
some attention to the proposed line of railway. He was made ac-
quainted of the course it was to take just before the plans were de-
posited. He considered it then, and he still considered it to be a
most objectionable line. Beginning at the Trent Valley, he
thought it left the population and the minerals, and failed
to provide that accommodation to the manufacturers of the

7 Viet., cap. 65, made of llama cloth, is light, dark, and mixed
colours, Two Guineas, patronised by his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, is, from the neatness of its form, adapted for the two pur-
poses—as an over coat, light in weight, a desirable advantage in our
ever-variable climate ; also as a surtout, or summer frock coat, with-
out other—a perfect luxury, where heat is found oppressive. Un-
assumed plainness, the characteristic of a gentleman's attire, is fully
sustained in the Paletot, being in its fashion neither trop prononce
or trop neglige.

the profits of a good judgment and well-directed ingenuity to those to
whom it is due."—See the " Times" of 4th April.
" In the Registered Paletot there is a gentlemanly neatness and an
absence of all unsightly vulgarity. It has met with the highest ap-
probation in the Court circle."—See" Morning Post" of the 19th April.

ROYAL CANDLES—PERFECTED.
These Candles are perfected—no objection now exists. Yes ;
Royal Candles, and their positive superiority is established !
Numerous Imitators have always arisen ; and certainly their Imita-

But Composite and Rubbish have had their day,
And Royal Candles will henceforth lead the way."
A pure white flame ! They snuff themselves, are hard as alabaster,
purer than wax, glossy as glass, and cheap as common Candles, is
their true character. " Their equal is unknown—their superior will
never come."
All Imitation Candles kept on show, that the Public may see their

end 40atriutiotion. After a most elaborate analysis
of the whole evidence, the Learned Judge concluded iby
leaving jury
the case in the hands of the jury.
The then requested leave to retire, in order to con-
sider their verdict.
Precisely at seven minutes past seven the jury returned,
and the Clerk of Arraigns. said, Gentlemen, are you agreed
upon your verdict ?"
The Foreman answered that they were, and that they
found the prisoner GUILTY.
The prisoner, on being asked why sentence should not be
passed upon him, made no reply, and
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, in a most solemn and affecting
manner, proceeded to pass sentence. He said—Prisoner at the
bar, you have been, after a patient and most careful inves-
tigation into the circumstances of this case, found guilty, by
a jury of your countrymen, of wilfully taking away the life
of a fellow-creature, and I must say that 1 perfectly co-
incide in the propriety of their verdict. You have been de-
tended by eminent counsel, who have directed in vain their
abilities and their great experience, with the view of finding
some mitigating circumstances, to the cross-examination of
the witnesses for the prosecution. That cross-examination
has elicited nothing in your favour. I fear that this is not
your only offence against the laws of your country ; but I
shall not dwell upon the past. I earnestly entreat of yon
to make a good use of the time which remains to you on this
side eternity. I implore or you to look for that mercy at
another and a higher tribunal, which cannot be extended
to you here. Let no thought of pardon from the offended
justice of the law weigh for an instant with you, but devote
your time humbly and earnestly to the care of your immortal
soul. The sentence of the Court is, that you be taken hence
to the place from whence you came, and from thence to a
place of execution, and that you be there hanged by the
neck until you are dead, and that your body be interred in
the precincts of the gaol ; and may the Lord have mercy
upon your soul.
The prisoner then bowed and retired with a firm step from
the bar.

The Court was densely crowded throughout, and a multi.
tude outside waited the whole day to hear the result.

NEW COURT.

The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in
trying Mint cases.
Several prisoners, who had pleaded guilty, were called
up, and thejudgmant of the Court was passed upon them.

IUPPLEMENT TO THE " DISPATCH."
1. The PROPHIETORS of the WEEKLY DISPATCH, ever
foremost in furnishing full details of important events, and desirous
of meeting the views of an anxious Public, purpose giving the fullest
particulars relating to the TRIAL of THOMAS HENRY HOCKER,
for the HORRIBLE MURDER of Mr. DELARUE at Hampstead,
and in order that every incident may be fully reported, the
" DISPATCH" of NEXT SUNDAY, April 13, will be accompanied by
Four Extra Pages, as a

SUPPLEMENT,
and will consequently contain a most copious and interesting account
of all the proceedings.

THE WEEKLY DISPATCH,.
by fearlessly advocating popular rights, has acquired the title of
THE PEOPLE'S LEADING JOURNAL, and obtained a circulation
unprecedented in the history of Newspapers. Sensible of this tin-
portant position, and being desirous of maintaining it, the Proprietors
intend, on and after SATURDAY, the 20th of APRIL, to publish an
Edition which will leave London by the Saturday morning early
Railway Trains, so that the " Dispatch " may reach places at a dis-
tance of 200 or 250 miles from the Metropolis in the afternoon and
evening of the same day.

This Edition will contain the London Markets of the week, including
those which are held on Friday, together with every interesting
occurrence up to the last moment of publication ; also the spirited
letters of PUBLICOLA, CAUSTIC, and CENSORIUS, and frequent
original Poems by ELIZA COOK.
Orders will be received for this popular Journal by every News
Agent in the Kingdom, and by Mr. Wood, at the " Dispatch" office,
139, Fleet-street, London. •
Subscribers who wish to avail themselves of this arrangement, are
requested to notify immediately, to the respective Agents who supply
them, their desire to be furnished with the early Edition.
