THE RIA/EsMAST.

minnteness and strict impartiality. He charged them
that to constitute murder, it mdst be in act of dtilibe-
ration ; malice eould not be presumed, and without
malice there was no amnia. His Ldrdship pointed+.
out the direct contradictions between the evidence for
the prosecution, and that for the Crown. If they bei
lieved the former, the prisoner was guilty of murders
if the latter, he was entitled to a verdict of not guilty.,
The Jury retired for about half an hour, and found_
the prisoner—Guilty of Wilful Murder, both ou the
indictment and Coroner's Inquisition.
The prisoner was greatly agitated on bearing the
verdict, and burst into violent grief.
The LORD Cntcr &sod then addressed hint
" George England, a verdict of Guilty has passed
against you, and it is my duty to pronounce the
sentence of the law, which I cannot avoid. lint I
have no difficulty, in the face of the country, in
saying, that I should have been glad if the verdict
had been the other way. At present, however, I
must pass the sentence of the law, (Prisoner-1 My
Lord, have mercy upon me 1.) " which is,—that you
be taken from hence—(Prisoner, ' Consider, I was in
the execution of my duty!) to the place from whence
yon came,—(Prisuner—• Gentlemen of the Jury,
pray consider ) our verdict again ail from thence
to the place of execution on Friday next, where von
are to be hung by the neck until yon are dead, and
may the Lord have mercy on your soul."
Prisoner—•' ! Gentlemen of the Jury, pray con-
sider your verdict again."
The Loup CHIEF iiitßON--" Prisoner, I'll do all
in my power to save your life."
Prisoner—" Do if yon please, my Lord."
The prisoner was then taken Cote the bar. Seve-
ral speetttors in the crowd muttered 6' What: is not
he to be hanged then ?"

SCHOOL Mt THE INDIUENT Annui
Dinner of the above praiseworthy Institution was held
yesterday evening in the lower room of the City of !
London Tavern, and *was numerously attended. Sir
Claudius Stephen Bunter took the Chair, supported
by several I,ersons of rank and eminence. On the 1
cloth being rmnovetl, and the usual standing toasts
given, the Report of the last year's proceedings was
read, and presented a most gratifying account of the
labours of the Society. In the course of the evening
the health, of the Vice-President, Treasurer, Stewards
and Secretary, were drank, which. called forth severe'
able speeches in sopped of the Institution. A long
lint of,subecriptiose was read, and the company enjoy-
ed the festivities of the evening to elate hour.
Yesterday Mr. Belzoni invited a small party of sci-
entific persons to witness the opening and unfolding
of a hammy, an4lto view some other Egyptian curi-
osities, previously to his completion of the interesting
'fire semi& of the Tombs Which he is preparing at Bul-
lock's Mesemn. Dr. Heinle, and the other most dis-
tinguished anatomists were present. The subject ap-
peared to be the remains of a young man ; the mummy
measured four feet nine inches; it was perfect in every
part, and the linen in which it was rolled *was still
fresh and sound. Mr. Belzoni also unrolled the
mummy of a monkey, one of •the idols worshipped by
the Egyptians which was also perfect. The company
had an opportunity of inspecting a variety of the cu-
reins folic. which this indefatigable traveller has
eelletted-from .Mivioa, and of seeing the progress of
his inten,led-exiiihition, which will be must curious,
as it will convey to every spectator, a view of the
tombs, in a way much wore satisfactory than any de-
scription could convey. The figures are all as large
as in the original ; and to prove that time colours are
as vivid as the original, portions of the original are
also brought home to be presented to the eye in con-,
Parivoil with the far simik imitations. It will afford'
a complete Idea tif the state of the arts In Egypt at
that ear v sarriod of the world.
