MARYLEBONE. Mr. Geo. we John Keen, a solicitor, residing in the vicinity of thi s court, nes brought before Mr. Long, charged w ith the following outrage upon Mr. Henry Isieel, a F olici tor's clerk, who, in cons.queece of the serious ie.-) ury be had received, was incapacitated from attending I (, give evidence. Mr. Juke a Ken Isbell, landlord of the Star and Garter, Edgewarte..e Jed, depos, d, that, on Thursday night, about hilt. past twelve o'cloek, the prisoner and Mr. Isreel were i iii bis house, drinking together, at the front of the bar. li.,ome words ensued between them, and witness, he v rfug a disturbance, came out of the parlour to inquire ' int o the cause of the row. In passing into the ha r h a saw the prisoner strike Israel twice in the face we ,th, his fists. They fought together for some mint: tea, when Keen was keeeked down by Israel. Kee: a speedily got up, and called out that be had had en ugl 1. 'They then shook hands nod made up the, quart el. I Cone then sat down on a form in the front of toe bur. Ile subsequeutly got up and proceeded across the bar, t. )w, irds whefe complainant was standing. A person, by the .name of Flatlet, who was standing at the bar, calied the t attention of nitnees to the prisoner, wbo bud the iron t gas key, a most formidable instrument, about five feet .tong, in his hand. With this instrument he struck Isra 2I on the bead. Witness ran towards the prisoner, and tried to get the gas key from him. The prisoner called nit " Murder." and was so violent that it took three p a; sons besides himself to wrest the deadly weapon from hii n (the prisoner). Witness then sent for a surgeon to d n ,ss Air. Israel's wound, and the prisoner was given into t he custody of a police-constable. Mr. Edward ( lay, surgeon, No. 1, Cambridge-terrace, Hyde Park-gati 'ens, said on Thursday night he was called into the ;tar and Garter, where he saw a person by the name ot Israel (the prosecutor), who was bleeding from a wont id in the head. Witness examined bins, and found a watt nd on the left side of the frontal bone, about two indite I in length, which, in his (witness's) opinion, might have been inflicted by the iron iriatrumeat produced. The wound was of a very serious nature, and he cola Id not, with safety to himself, at present leave his home.  Several other parties gave evidence in support of the charge, and the y were cross•examined at some length by Mr. Cooper, the solicitor who attended for the prisoner. _ _ _  Mr. LONG ask ed what answer there was to the charge? and  Mr. Cooper rt .plied that ho had no witnesses present, and he had iu Jw no answer to make to the charge. Upon a future day he should, no doubt, be prepared with certain wilt nesses who would throw an entirely different light up a n the matter. In the absence of the injured party all that he (the Learned Gentleman) could lcok for was tlt at his client might be liberated upon his giving bail to id :sure his attendance on another day. Mr. LONG I,s Id the defendant in bail in 300/. and two sureties in 1.5411. each for his attendance on Saturday next.

MAY 7, P.M. " There was nothing of importance done in Parliament to-day. The beads assembled in Bonsecours market, and to-morrow will assemble in the Freemasons'•hall. Both Houses adjourned to remove their furniture to their new place of meeting. " Everything remains quiet. "Quebec partook of the general excitement ineidental upon the Rebellion Losses Bill having been sanctioned. The Governor-General was burnt in effigy on Friday evening last. Resistance was made by a section of the Irish party who professed ultra Repeal doctrines, and a fight ensued, which was finally quelled by the police. The military were in attendance, but were not required. One man was wounded, but not seriously. On Saturday an attempt was made to burn Sir A . M‘Nab in effigy, but the moderate of the Irish party prevented it. On Sunday a mass meeting of the French Canadians was held, aided by the same Repeal followers, and a deputation sanctioned to proceed to the seat of Government to present an address to the Governor-General, offering defence and condolence.  " On Monday large parties again assembled, but all passed off quietly. `• There is a talk of arming on both sides, and the papers in the Canadian interest talk most loudly."  " SiAY 4. " News from all over the country stills continues to pour in, both by telegraph and mail, of the monster meeting got up to- protest against the Indemnity Bill, and to get up petitions to the Queen to recal the Governor.  " We have just received words from Toronto of an immense meeting held there for the above-named object, and the appointment of Sir Alan M‘Nab as a delegate to England.  " There was a fierce debate in the Assembly yesterday evening upon a motion of adjournment—bitter ertminations and recriminations passed between both  parties.  " Mr. Pspineau, the old leader of the rebellion made a furious attack on the Ministry, charging them with incapacity, and being the cause of all the disturbances. "Mr. Solicitor-General Drummond replied by charging him with the desire of annexation to the United States, and of being the first Governor of the new State. " Sir Alan M'Nab raked up recollections of murder and outrage cotnmitted during the rebellions of 1837 and 1838. The Ministry deprecated the cause of the argument as being got up for, mere party purposes, and said that at a proper time they were prepared to justify the whole of that proceeding. The President of the Council likewise said that one of the causes of the excitement was the do sire of annexation, which he deprecated. There were no new disturbances in the city yesterday, but there doubtless would have been if the House had not adjourned at an early hour. Large placards were posted all over the city, unanimously signed by the influential inhabitants, urging the necessity of maintaining peace and order. The excitement is great, and there are rumours that Upper Canada will rise. A few days will show if it be true."  TRURSDAY Noon,

DAIWA.. 141 ELI, who was one of the Red EMPEROR'S victims, has left behind him a young wife. Immediately after his murder the officers of the Austrian Treasury :sei zed the whole of his property. They even took the personal effects of his widow, and the gowns and other articles of clothing of Madame DAMIAaICU were sold by auction. Even the Jews were so disgusted that they would not attend the sale, and the officers of the Austrian army, who were the sole bidders, bought them at their own prices. One of these chivalrous heroes purchased a magnificent velvet robe for half-a.  crown. We are informed that there are sundry Englishmen who are officers in the Austrian service. It would be well that their names should be published, in order that all honest Englishmen may avoid them, should they dare to pollute their native land (which has cast th-m forth) with their pre se nce. The Journal des Debats contains a letter from Vienna, 31st ult., giving the .following account of the National Bank of Austria :—" The Bank of Austria has eleven branch establishments, one at Prague, another at Brunn, Buda, Gratz, &c. The object of these branch banks is to exchange bills for bills, bills for cash, or cash for bills, and to reimburse the bills of the Central Bank drawn on them, and to draw on the Bank of Vienna. None of the branch establishments discount bills of Exchange, except that of Prague, where the discount is 4 per cent.; there is a discount bank also at Brunn, but it is regulated by a commercial committee, and has its funds supplied by the head establishment. The Bank of Vienna, like that of France, is influenced by passing events ; in periods of crisis it has, with the egthorisa tion of the Government, opened temproary credits to the great commercial establishments of the country, and :hereby saved them from ruin. The greatest act of importance performed by the Bank, has. however, been to assist the Government itself during the late political shocks, and to have enabled it, in spite of the enormous military expenditure, to avoid the necessity of levying extraordinary taxes, and to wait for the most favourable moment to contract a loan. The debt of the State to the Bank, comprising the floating debt, is large, but the new loan, as well as a part of the Sardinian indemnity, are to be devoted to diminish that obligation. As the revenues of the monarchy will augment by the regular division of the taxes, and as the expenses of the army will necessarily decrease, the Government will be enabled to pay off the remaining portion of the debt, and thus the bank will again return to its ordinary modes of business, and render that assistance to the public which it did before the events of 1848." Since the month of November, 1848, the courtmartial at Vienna has pronounced not fewer than 1,600 sentences. In Galicia courts martial have also been established, and one of them recently condemned a priest to imprisonment for having spoken ill of the Emperor of RusslA.

THE CONDEMNED PRISONERI IN HORSE MONGER LANE GAOL. It being suspected by the authorities of Horse, • monger-lane gaol that Maria Manning might *la some violence to herself on hearing her fate os Wednesday evening, it was thought advisable to have an extra woman in attendance upon her. Accord.. ingly Mrs. Randall, the woman searcher of the South.. wark police- station, was sent for that night to assini: the two other women in watching her. Mrs. Rands attended upon her during the several lengthy ex P.minations at the police-court, and Mrs. Manni rig seemed very much attached to her. As soon as : alae was introduced to her in the cell, she seemed me tch pleased, and conversed freely with her on several subjects. The unfortunate woman still,asserts that she bis innocent, and will not be executed, and that some in fluential ladies will intercede for her in high quarter! esterday she wrote two letters, and believes that tb 3 contents will have the effect of saving her life. 0: being told that he legal advisers had done all the: y could for her, she stamped her foot on the floor, an d exclaimed in a violent manner—" Done all they could ! Why, they have done nothing; they and everybod y else in the court decided upon hanging me before I wa is tried." In alluding to her husband a few minutes aftel wards she said, " Ah, he is a vagabond. I never saiel anything about him. He knows who murdered poor O'Connor, and can tell all." She refuses all religioris consolation, and pays little attention to the Rev. 1 Ir. Rowe, the chaplain. She has been visited by' a charitable lady, who attempted to instil into her mi nd the awful position in which she stood, and imploi*d upon her to offer up her prayers to her Maker; brat she listened with a deaf ear, and as soon as the la dy had left the cell she entered into conversation with b cr attendants as unconcernedly as if she was free fia gni crime. She eats heartily and sleeps well, but if ar y of her attendants would converse with her all nig -',ht she would sit up and join them. During some allusion to her attorney (Mr. Solomon) and the cour eiel who defended her she became much excited, a ed, clinching her fists, exclaimed, " Oh, if 1 only t tad them here I'd serve them out. They might h Lye acquitted me if they had done their duty." S however, seems very confident that she will be set sit liberty, and has no idea that the sentence of the 1 aaw will be carried into effect. Her unfortunate husb: tnd is quite dejected. He is completely emaciated, old unable to eat anything. Yesterday morning he deli red to have an interview with his attorney, Mr. Binns as he had some important communication to make to him. He particularly requested that a special or Tier should be obtained for him, and at his desire one • NM got and forwarded to Mr. Binns, who will attend: at the gaol this morning.

Becoming alarmed at her state, and not having seen the prisoner for about a fortnight, she wrote to him on Sunday, the 16th of September, and post«l the letter on the following day, upbraiding him wi,h neglect, and saying if she did not hear from him by the following Thursday that she should communicate her t,ondition by letter to her grandfather and grandmother. The prisoner then wrote to her at her lodgings in Francis-street, Newington, asking her to meet him on the Thursday, at eight o'clock, at Brixton Church. She did so, and walked with him to Dulwich, where they entered a wood, he having told her that was the nearest 7aY to Croydon, where he said ho had taken a ledging 11)1." her The prisoner, the path being very narrow, led Re girl by the hand, telling her not to be frightened. kie then listened attentively, put his arm round her neck, vieled her repeatedly, and cut her throat with a razor.

She wrcte the letters on a boob Which he had with him and gave them to Lim. He then asked her how she came to send him such a threat"ing letter, and if she meant it. She replied she did not, and Only wrote it to frighten him, and that ho was ma e say tiny more about it. It would be for the jury to looking at these facts, whether the prisoner was guilty of the ol7enee imputed to him. Sarah Frances Ewing was then called and detailed the facts narrated above. The unfortunate creature was "aid scarcely articulate, and looked pale and emaciated. The evidence of the person to whose house the girl made htr way After the vutrage, the surgeon, and the
