THE CONDEMNED MURDF.HESB.—The wretched woon the little pockets, it is very stylish. Silk dresses, man, Catherine Wilson, who is ordered for execution on trimmed•with crape, are much admired, as forming a Monday, the 20th inst., for the crime of murder by happy medium between the more sombre style of those poisoning, under most atrocious circumstances, still intended as toilettes de ville and those for full-dress toi- continues to exhibit the same appearance of indifference lettes. A silk dress of pale sea-green, trimmed with and callousness that has characterised her ever since three flounces of crape, plaited the same colour as the she has been in custody. Notwithstanding the clear dress, edged with black silk, is very elegant. This may manner in which the crime was established by the evibe worn as a walking dress, in which case a scarf of deuce, the prisoner, it appears, has, upon several occasilk, edged with cape frills, should be added. To coin- sions, earnestly asserted her innocence of the offence, pleb: this elegant toilette, we recommend a rice straw and she professes still not to have heard a single word bonnet, with bouquet of rose-buds on the summit; aof the address that was made to her by Mr. Justice Byles wreath of ivy, placed over a fringe of ;white feathers, who tried her, in passing sentence, when, it will; be rereaching to the blonde curtain. The Mexican blue, in membered, lie alluded to other charges ol the same desvelvet, ctape, or royal velvet, is the finest shade that cription that had been made against her, and to the can be seen. An almost inperceptible shade separates probability of her being guilty of three, if not four, it from the azure blue, yet the difference renders it de- other murders, by poison. It is said that Mr. Neale, cidedly preferred for dresses, bonnets, and flowers, the soliciturtwho defended her upon her trial, has sent Another beautiful and sombre colour is a dark slate, in a memorial on her behalf to the Home Secretary, made in velvet for bonnets—a most useful shade, as it but beyond this, it does not seem that any section of the harmonises with all oolours,—.4s Fake. public has made a movement by petition or otherwise to pbtain 4 eommutatiou of the oapital aeutenee.  hers, marchea into the park for the purpose of carrying off the men belonging to their respective battalions. They marched straight to the mound, and just as they ascended it a soldier received a terrific blow on the head from a thick club, wielded by an Irishman. The blood ran down the face of the soldier, who was carried away in a fainting condition, the dastardly assailer escaping by plunging into a mass of his sympathizing countrymen. After this the pickets cleared the mound, of which they held possession till a body of p dice approached, half an , hour later, when the military power yielded to the civil. From that time the police held the mound, and although there was a good deal of tumultuous rushing, and an occasional scuffle and wholesale destruction of hats, the fear of any very serious outbreak was past. The people had beAttu to disperse at 5 o'clock, when a few drops of rain fell, and gradually thinned afterwards. But a fine moonlight night was the means of prolonging the demonstration ; at seven o'clock there was still some thousands of people remaining on the ground, and it was late before the park was restored to its usual peaceful aspect. As the result of the afternoon's amusement, in addition to the soldier whose head we s broken as before mentioned, 15 people were compelled to visit St. George's Hospital in consequence of injuaies received. Most of these were cases of broken heads, but there was one (an Irishman) who had been stabbed in the thigh, it is said, by an Italian, and who remains in the hospital. In addition to this, about 15 men were taken by the police to the Marlborough-mews Police-station, charged with assaults. Suggestions were rife among the Irish as to something to be done next Sunday, principally by Irish soldiers ; it would not be amiss should an order be issued to confute all such to their barracks, and if the mound of earth—the Redan of Hyde Park—should be removed in the course of this week it may not be an entirely useless precaution.
