      •Are Of Attendance On Committees: Indeed...

      • are of attendance on committees : Indeed , no nan could long endure such an amount of labour , last year the louse had sat 932 hours , passing 89 bills ; while this year , up to the return , it had sat 1 , 041 hours , passing but 58 bills . The ' hon . baronet then contended that Government had . a \ wavs been able to carry a bill when they had shown that they were resolved to do so , and that whenever they had shown themselves ' careless npon a question , the measure had failed to pass . Lord Joira Rcsseu , said that no other legislative assembly in the world had ever got through such an amount , of business as the House of Commons bad performed . Manv ' weeks of discussion were

      necessarily required bv the important legislative question which that bouse had regularly to consider , and tbe time for carryiug measures of a novel character was thereby materially curtailed . But he was far from considering that time was necessarily lost because bills were brought in , discussed , and then postponed ; inasmuch as such proceeding furnished tbe beet possible material for future legislation ; and unless a government possessed a prophetical power , it certainly could not prevent its measures from incurring such a fate . After defending his conduct in introducing and afterwards abandoning certain bills , his lordship dechred his opinion that the country had every reason to be satisfied with the conduct of its representatives .

      Mr . Bsionr considered that a full house was much too cumbrous a machine for discussing the details of measures . He thought that such details misfit be referred to « v select body of members , while the house itself should discuss principles only . Mr . Stafford attributed much ofthe delay complained of to the fact that whereas the house formerly consisted of two parties onl y / it was now split up into four . Ceymis . —Mr . Home then moved that the evidence taken before the Ceylon Committee should he printed . Mr . Hawes , on the part of Lord John Russell , opposed tbe motion , moving as an amendment that the evidence in question be referred to the Colonial Secretary and the government . He reminded the honse that the committee which took the evidence

      had decided that it ought not to be published , because it was in a great measure of a private and confidential nature . He agreed in that decision of tbe committee , although it prevented him from defending the Colonial-office against a variety of unfounded and exaggerated charges that had been brought against it . Mr . Xewdegate Mr . M'CutuoH Mr . Yiurens , and Sir J . Hogg having spoken upon tbe question , Mr . Home withdrew his motion , promising to bring the subject on and to prosecute it to the fullest extent next session . On the motion of Sir G . Gret it was resolved that the honse at its rising should adjourn till Wednesday , at one o clock . The other orders of the day were disposed of , and the house adjourned at half-past eight o clock . TUESDAY , Abgusi 13 .

      HOUSE OF LORDS . —Lord Mostkaglb brought under the notice of ' tbe house the conduct of Charles Gream . and Michael Alexander Gage , Esquires , who had induced a number of persons to affix fraudulent si gnatures to a petition ¦ which had been presented on the subject of the Liverpool Corporation Waterworks Bill . Be concluded with moving that these two persons had been respectively guilty of a gross breach of the privileges ofthe House . This motion , which gave rise to some discussion , was agreed to . Mr . Gream and Mr . Gage were then called to the bar , and ¦ were heard in their defence . Both of them denied that they had intentionally been guilty of fraud . Lord Campbell suggested that some specific punishment should be meted out to these parties .

      The Lobd Cbaxceuor after some observations , moved that Charles Gream and Michael Alexander Gagestandeommitted to the custody of the Usher ofthe Black Rod , and afterwards to he taken to Sewgate , and there confined for the term of a fortnight . The motion was agreed to , and tbe parties were conveyed to Newgate . Persecution of Feoxestaxts . —The Earl of Booex complained of the persecution to which persons were liable in Ireland who abandoned the Church of Rome and became converts to ihe Protestant faith . After describing some cases ofthe kind , the noble earl concluded with asking whether the government would lay on the table any communications they had received on the subject ?

      The Marquis of Lassbowke expressed his regret that religious dissension and irritation should exist to such a great extent in Ireland , which had , -to a certain degree , grown out ofthe system of proselytism which had sprung up there . lie would have no objection to grant the reports which had been received from the police , and the instructions given by tie government . After some , conversation this suggestion was acquiesced in by Lord Roden , and the subject dropped . The Crime and Outrage ( Ireland ) Bill was read a second time ; and , the standing orders having been suspended , the bill was read a third time and passed . m The Friendly Societies Bill was ^ lso read a third time and passed . The bouse then adjourned . "WEDESDAT , Atjgusi 14 .

      HOUSE OF LORDS . —The house sat this morning , in order to forward all bills upon the table a stage , and that the royal assent mi ght be given to a mass of bills , public and private . The royal assent was given to seventy . six bills , public and private . Lord Campbeix , referring to the report of the commissioners appointed to inquire into the operation ofthe regulations lately adopted for preventing Sunday labour in the Post-office , expressed his belief that such report would go a considerablefway towards removing the evils of which the country lad been complaining for some weeks . He stated his conviction , as one of the judges of the land , that the new Sabbatic restrictions hud a . tendencv to

      obstruct works of necessity and mercy . He rejoiced exceedingly that those restrictions , which he did not hesitate to say really led to a desecration ofthe day cf rest , would speedily be abolished by the new regulations which he understood government was about to make . Lord Mosieagle concurred in Lord Campbell's opinion , and added bis opinion ofthe cruel bardship which the Sabbatic meddling bad inflicted upon the poor classes . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —In answer to a question by Mr . Wra > ,

      Sir G . Ghey said tbat he could give no positive answer as to the intention of government to take any steps , during the recess , For the better supply of the metropolis with water . In answer to Mr . Thoexelt , Mr . Lacoucheke said that the report upon the new Sabbatic regulations for the Post-office had been laid upon the table of the house , bnt he was not prepared to announce the course that the government intended to take upon the subject . An encounter took place between Mr . O'Connor and Mr . Hayter , and our readers will find the details of it in Mr . O'Connor ' s Letter . Mr . Newdegate called the attention ofthe house to the errors in a report recently presented on foreign tariffs .

      Mr . LiBorcHEEE admitted the importance of tbe subject , and regretted the errors which had arisen , He explained the mode in which the Board of Trade obtained the particulars the inaccuracy of which Sad been complained of , and promised that the subject should receive attention .

      THURSDAY , August 15 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —At a quarter to two o ' clock tbe Queen left Buckingham Palace , in state , for the purpose of proroguing Parliament . The crowd of sight-seers and holiday-makers assembled in the line of route was as numerous and as loyal as usual . The House of Lords presented a brilliant appearance , the larger number of those present being ladies , who always muster strong on these occasions . Between fifty and sixty members of the House of Commons accompanied the Speaker to the bar , te give an account of their doings during the Session , and to bear the Royal Speech , which was as follows : —

      "Mr Loans ahd Gestxeuek , " I have the satisfaction of being able to release yon from the duties of a laborious Session .

      THE IRISH DEMOCRATS IN LONDON . Thejjsnal weekly meeting was held on Sunday-Mr . Dwain in the chair—and was honoured by a preliminary visit from two of D . W . Harvey's special messengers ; they were politely accommodated with a seat at the table . Mr . Clancy proposed three hearty cheers for the success ofthe gallant "Irishman , the begotten of John Mitchel , the child of Ireland ' s future destiny ; " which was responded to in a manner not to be mistaken . The minutes having been read and confirmed , Mr . Clancy addressed the meeting on the necessity of supporting tbe Irishman . It was not support to merely subscribe , but their ingenuity should be

      taxed to place it on a firm basis , nor was it the Irishman alone that demanded their support , there was a sterling little fellow who had done his work gallantly forthelastfew weeks ; he knew they would anticipate the Red Republican ' , they should do all in their power to give him a lift too . He ( the Speaker ) would do one man ' s work by presenting to each subscriber of the Irishman ( on the last day of August ) a copy of the Red Republican , gratis . A copy of the Irishman was ordered to be filed , and three copies destributed gratis . Articles were read from the Irishman , and highly applauded . The meeting was addressed by Messrs . Dwain , Joyce , Flanagan , Lynch , dsc .

      The Emigration To California.—According ...

      The Emigration to California . —According to present appearance , there will be a tremendous emigration from tbe Atlantic States to California during the present year . Up to the 17 th of June last , we are authentically informed that some thirty thousand adventurers passed Fort Laramie , on the overland route to the modern El Dorado ; and the rush by the way of Chagres and Panama is still very great . The probability is , that the new state on the Pacific will receive an accession to her population of sixty or seventy thousand within the present year . The accounts recently received from the gold region warrant the belief thit the proceeds of gold digging this season will be immense . That state , with such wonderful resources , need care very little whether she is admitted into the Union

      or not . Indeed , we would not be surprised if she got disgusted with the manner in which she had been treated , and withdrew her application for admission altogether . —New York Herald . The Government of Saxe-Weimar has just founded under the title of " Institute of Goethe , " an annual prize of 20 , 060 ' ., for which the whole of literary and artistical Europe will be at liberty to complete . ' This perpetual prize is to be thus arranged : —1 st year , Poems , Romances , and Theatrical Works—2 nd . Paintings of all kinds—3 rd . Statuary—4 th . Music , either sacred or profane , operas or oratorios . After the fourth year has expired the same rotation is recommenced . In addition to receiving the 20 , 000 fr ., the author will remain in possession of his work . Tbe jury will be formed of two committees , the one at Weimar and the other at Berlin , the Ring of Prussia being ; interested in the institution . This institution will be definitely constituted at Weimar on the 21 st inst . Numerous

      invitations have been addressed to writers and eavans of alt countries . Shipwreck , asd Loss of Ltfb . — On Saturday morning last intelligence was received at Lloyd ' s ofthe total loss of the vessel Hope , of Portegnon , Richmond , master , on the Mumble Rocks , off Swansea . The vessel was first observed on the rocks about seven ©' clock in the morning , when signals of distress , by firing guns , were made by the crew , and the life-boats of the district were immediately launched for the purpose of endeavouring to give assistance . They approached the wreck closely enough to observe that the afterdeck was crowded with human beings , but the state of the weather and the heaviness of the sea on at the time , rendered their efforts to save the hves of those on board unavailing . The vessel went to pieces soon after striking , and it is supposed that more than forty individuals went down within her .

      Lancaster. Reg. V. Thompson Am> 0thens.'...

      LANCASTER . Reg . v . Thompson am > 0 THEns . ' ---DEFRAUMNG me Customs . —This was an indictment for a conspiracy , charging the defendants , Henry Thompson , Samuel Tillotson , and Thomas William Maddox , with conspiring together to remove certain goods from a bonded warehouse at Liverpool , Without payment of the duties thereon , with intent to defraud tho customs revenue of the same . There wag another count charging the defendants with conspiring together to remove certain wines without payment of the duties ; and , a third count charging the defendant Thompson with conspiring with certain persons unknown to defraud the Qucenv The Attorney-General , in opening the case , said that this

      indictment had been preferred at tho instance of her Majesty ' s Attorney-General against the defendant Mr . Thompson , who was a wine-merchant and importer carrying on business at Liverpool , and the defendants , Tillotson and Maddox , who were " lockers" employed at the customs at Liverpool , for conspiring together to defraud tho revenue , and because it was necessary to protect tho fair trader , who was undersold by these practices . It was almost unnecessary to state that a large dutv WHS payable on the admission of foreign wine / or consumption into this country . On the wine being landed it was removed into what were called "bonded warehouses , " and the duty was not payable on the wine until it was taken out of those

      warehouses for consumption . _ In these warehouses the merchants had each particular compartments , which were appropriated to themselves , and to each compartment there was a door with two locks , the key of one being kept by the merchant , and of the other by the custom house officer , called a "locker , " whose duty it was to attend to that bonded warehouse ; by this means of security the wines bonded in such a warehouse could only be removed with the concurrence of the merchant and the locker . Between the years 1839 and 1842 tho defendant Thompson had a double vault in a bonded warehouse , called " Harbord ' s Vaults , " of which the other two defendants ' , Tillotson and Maddox , were lockers ; and the charge against the defendant Thompson was , that he , in conjunction with tbe

      other two defendants , or some persons unknown , had removed 208 casks of wine between the years 1839 ami 1842 , without paying the duty thercon and without any proper authority . The usual course of delivery when wines was removed from a ship was for an officer to gauge the wine , and ho then made out a note of the mark and contents of the cask , and delivered that note and the cask to a carter , and that note was called " a cart note . " the carter delivered the wine and the " cart note " to the locker at the bonded warehouse to which the wine was sent , and the locker indorsed tho " cavt note" as a receipt , and entered the wine as

      received in a book called tho " locker ' s hook , " and placed the wine in the warehouse . If the merchant wished to remove the wine to another warehouse he preferred a written request to the director or comp . troller of customs , upon which , as a matter of course , the comptroller granted what was called a sufferance-note , on presenting which to the locker the wine could be removed , and the locker entered its removal in his book . The duty on the wine was seldom paid until it was sold , when it was removed out of the warehouse by a proper delivery order , called a " slip , " and its removal in this way was entered in the locker ' s book . The 208 casks in

      question had been removed without payment of duty , by collusion with the lockers . The reason why . this prosecution was now instituted was because this fraud had only recently been discovered . Early in 1848 an inquiry was instituted in Liverpool as to the mode of collecting the duties , and an order was made to take the amount of stock deposited in the bonded warehouse there . : This order was a good deal talked about , and it was then that Mr . Thompson took a step which had led to the discovery on which the present prosecution was founded . Between the loth of May and , the 7 th of June in that year , Mr . Thompson , by his clerk , passed an entry of 208 casks of wine , for which be applied to pav the duty . When an entry is passed ,

      an order for the payment of the duty is given , called a slip , which being paid is a delivery order , and he then got slips for the whole 208 casks , making it appear that ho was anxious to get this quantity of wine out of bond , tbe duty on which amounted to £ 1 , 951 . This being such an unusual quantity to take out of bond at once excited observation , and it then appeared that these slips for the delivery of the 208 casks of wine were never presented—Mr . Thompson , in fact , no doubt well knowing that the wines were not in the warehouse . This led to inquiry . It also appeared that by the statute the wine merchant was entitled to a drawback for leakage on the wines in bond not exceeding one per cent , per annum ; and Mr . Thompson would have

      been entitled to this drawback for six or seven years , which would amount to little less than £ 300 . The amount of leakage was ascertained by " dipping" or gauging the wines , but this necessarily implied an examination ofthe wines . Mr . Thompson never applied for this drawback , because he knew well the wines were not there to be dipped . This being still more suspicious , the stock-book kept by the locker was examined , and it was found that there was no entry ofthe removal of the wines , and on examination of the vault it was discovered that the wines ' were gone . The other two defendants were the lockers employed at these vaults , and without their concurrence the wines could not have been removed . The whole of these wines bad been

      removed between tho years 1839 and 1842 , at which time the defendants Tillotson and Maddox were lockers of Mr . Thompson ' s bonded vaults . It further appeared that , before the year 1842 , Tillotson and Thompson had taken a lease of a place called the Strawbery-gardcns , at Everton , where wines and liquors were sold , which , as regarded Tillotson , was contrary to the Customs regulations . This , also , was a suspicious circumstance as against Tillotson . ^ These were the facts he should prove , and which had led the government to institute this prosecution , as a protection to the fair trader and for the punishment of these frauds . Evidence having been given , Mr . Cowling submitted that there was no case against Maddox . —The Attorney-General said he would not then press the case

      against Tillotson . —Mr . Serjeant Murphy thensubmitted that there remained no case of conspiracy against his client , the case being given up as to the Other two prisoners , and there not being a scintilla of evidence that any one else had assisted or acted with Thompson in removing the wines , and he could not conspire with himself . —His Lordship : There might not be evidence to fix the other two prisoners , yet the jury might be of opinion that some persons to them unknown had assisted the prisoner Thompson . But he would reserve this point also . —Mr , Serjeant Murphy then addressed the jury for Thompson : and the Attorney-General having replied , his lordship summed up , and the jury found the prisoner , Guilty . Sentence will be passed in the Court of Queen's Bench .

      GLOUCESTER . Charge op Murder nv Starvation . —Elizabeth Bubb , a repulsive-looking woman , aged 40 , was charged with the wilful murder of Maria Hook , at Churebam , in May last . Mr . Huddleston and Mri Powell were counsel for the prosecution , and Mr . Pigott defended tbe prisoner . There was also a charge of manslaughter against the prisoner together with a man named Richard Hook , but the court first tried the female prisoner on the more serious charge . Mr . Huddleston having addressed the jury , called Mary Easthope , a married woman , residing near the prisoner at Churebam , who deposed that the man Hook was a widower , and that the prisoner lived with him . Remembered seeing the

      deceased , on frequent occasions when the children of Bubb were at meals , grovelling on the floor and picking up the crumbs that fell from the breakfast table . She did not ask for food , but picked up anything that she ceuld get . She was in a very filthy state in her person , and appeared to have no clothes on except an old frock , which was open at the back . The prisoner ' s children were well fed , but the deceased appeared " cast away for want . " There was plenty of food for all , but witness did not see anything g iven to Maria Hook . The witness spoke to the prisoner having on several occasions spoken of the deceased as a " nasty little devil . " As she was lying on the ground picking up the crumbs tbe prisoner said , "if she did not get up she would kick

      her in two . On one occasion when she went out to work the prisoner left a piece of bread of about as big as her three fingers for Maria Hook ' s dinner , and two larger pieces of bread , one for each ofthe other children . She ( prisoner ) told witness that the deceased had been telling her father about it , and added , " sooner than the d-i—d nasty little devil should tell her father anything she would kill her . "—Emma Jackson was next called . She had known the prisoner about twelve months . Mrs . Hook , the mother of the deceased child , died about twelve months before the child ' s death . The prisoner was a sister of Mrs . Hook , and went to live with Richard Hook on his wife ' s death . Hook had three other children besides the deceased ; tbey were all older than Maria . The prisoner had two boyaof her own , aged six and twelve years , and

      they all lived together in Hook ' s house . The deceased was fouryears old when she died . Witness lived in a room adjoining Hook ' s house under the same roof , for about twelve months before the child ' s death . At the time of Mrs . Hook ' s death the deceased child was a nice little girl , and appeared perfectly well . After her mother ' s death , however , she began to waste away , and got gradually into a very ragged and dirty condition , and looked worse and worse every time the witness saw her . The prisoner did not give tbe child food enough , and when she went out in the morning to work she would give her a piece of bread to last her for the day . The child would ask for food ; The prisoner cursed her instead of giving her food . Prisoner was continually ia the habit of beating and ill-using the deceased child . Had seen Mrs . Bubb eating toastand butter at >

      Lancaster. Reg. V. Thompson Am> 0thens.'...

      a time when the child was raying for bread , but she gave her none , though she would send her a small bit up stairs about . ' as : big as three fingers . The prisoner ' s own children were treated well and had the same food as the prisoner herself . ' The child at length got so weak that'she was not able to stan * ' ! , and was in the habit of- crawling about the room on her hands and knees . Towards the last sho was p laced in the chimney corner . upon a heap of rags . Witness had frequently given the child food which she seized hold of in both her hands and devoured it ravenously ., Had seen the prisoner beat the deceased more than twenty times . Had seen her washing the child in cold water some two died the 24 th

      or three months before its death ( it on of May . ) Saw her pull the child out of the tub , push nor across the room , and exclaim ,. ¦ ion u—dyomig bitch , you'll never die , and nothing 11 ever kill y ou . " Had frequently beard the prisoner wish the child dead , curse her , and call her bad names . Saw her brat the child three weeks before its death . On the morning of its death , at four o ' clock , witness was called into . Hook s house bv Bubb , who said she thoug ht the child was dying . Witness found the child on Bubb s lap , groaning dreadfully , and it died at eight o clock . Bubb cried a little just as the child died , but her tears seemed to have been drawn forth by Inght at the-child ' s dreadful appearance in the agonies of death . —Mr .

      Potter , a schoolmaster living at the distance of about a quarter of a mile from the cottage of . Hook , denosed that he had known Hook and his family for rears past , and had played with and nursed his children . One day , on coming homo , ho found his wife feeding the child at his gate . His wifo gave her three pieces of bread and butter , which she ate voraciously , and appeared in a most "destitute condition . The child was in a filthy condition , and the only article of dress on her person was an old stuff frock . Sho would have eaten another piece oi bread and butter , but witness thought it would not be rig ht to give it her in her weakly condition . lie told her to come again next day , when ho gave her some dinner . She was there hours before dinner

      time , waiting at the gate . She came daily for weeks , and appeared always in the same pitiable plig ht . She was a perfect skeleton in body ; but when he saw the body at the inquest he could not recognise it as the same child , from emaciation . When he first saw the child at his gate . he supposed the child to be some beggar ' s child , and did not recognise it as Hook ' s , from its altered appearance since its mother ' s death . Witness fed another child of Hook ' s which also came to his house for food . —Several other persons ' : who lived in the neighbourhood were examined , and they all agreed in the accounts they gave of tho neglect and illtreatment ofthe unfortunate deceased by the prisoner . —It was stated that the deceased's bodj

      weighed only Gibs ., tho usual weight of a child on its birth . The deceased was more than four years of age at her death . —Mr . Humble , surgeon , and medical officer ot the Wcstbury-on-Severn Union , deposed that he first ' saw the deceased in November , 1848 , when the prisoner and Ann Apperby brought her to him . He examined the child , and prescribed a slig ht aperient for her , directing that sheshould have port wine and nourishing food . Do found that she was afflicted' with prolapsus ani , a disease not uncommon to children , but not of a dangerous character . In 1849 ( January ) he again saw tho deceased at her father ' s house . She'was huddled up over some ashes , and was naked with the exception of a small rug over hev shoulders . There was no five in

      the room and the child seemed emaciated from want of proper food and clothing ; made a post mortem examination ofthe body , and found it in ah excessive state of emaciation ; it only weighed 61 bs , ( Sensation in court . ) A child newly born would usually weig h from Gibs , to 81 bs . This child was four years old . It appeared about tho usual height of a child of that age , but was a complete skeleton . Death from starvation would present such external appearances as the body of tho deceased Maria Hook presented . The body internally was healthy ; the lungs were perfect , and there were no symptoms of consumption . Tlie heart and viscera generally were small . The stomach was perfectly empty . Looking externally and internally at the appearances presented by the body , witness was of opinion , that the

      child died from want of sufficient food and clothing . —Charles Bampton , huckster , proved that Hook and Bubb bought goods at . his shop to the amount of 10 s . to 14 s . per week . —After an address of two hours from Mr . Pigott , who dwelt especially on the absence of motive for murder , his Lordship summed up in a speech of an hour and a half , and the jury , after retiring for ten minutes , returned a verdict of Guilty of aggravated manslaughter , and the priso : ner was sentenced to transportation for life . Richard Hook was charged with the manslaughter of his daughter Maria Hook , at Churebam , by omitting to give her proper food and clothing . —In his defence the prisoner said he had always provided sufficient food and clothes for the child , and had directed Bubb to attend to her . —The jury found him Not Guilty .

      Murder by Poisoning . — .-Hannah Curtis was charged on the coroner ' s inquisition with the wilful murder of Thomas Harris , her former husband , at the parish of Frampton Cottrell . 'The prisoner was formerly married to Harris , who died after a short illness , and in a month after his death she married a man named Curtis who used to visit her during the lifetime of her husband . On opening the body there were traces of arsenic discovered in the deceased . —A great number of witnesses were examined in support of the indictment , —Mr . Cooke addressed the ] ury for about an hour aud a half , examining the evidence critically , and contending that although this was undoubtedly a case of suspicion , the facts , as they had been given on oath ,

      were as consistent with innocence as with guilt . The question for tbe jury to decide was , whether the arsenic ( which there was no doubt had been the cause of death ) had been administered to the deceased wilfully for the purpose of destroying life , and , if so by whom . He contended tbat the suggestions made in the evidence that the poison had been administered in tea , and in wine , were not borne out , the Witnesses stating that there was no appearance of sediment or any foreign substance in tho cups . Mr . Herepath , too , had given his opinion that arsenic killed within twenty . four hours j but here the sickness had extended from the 10 th April—before tbe prisoner had been proved to have bought the poison at Mr . Morton ' s—until the 30 th , when the deceased died . The same symptoms were apparent in the illness ofthe deceased on the 10 th as on the 26 th of April . He suggested that the correct version of the unhappy affair was that the

      deceased Burns having been used to fake magnesia , which was kept in a particular beaufet , had unfortunately taken some of the arsenic in mistake for it . In conclusion the learned counsel having addressed himself to most of the points in the evidence , which appeared in any degree to be favourable to the prisoner , called upon the jury to give the prisoner the benefit of any doubt that may be raised in their minds . —Tho learned Judge summed up in a clear and perspicuous manner , and read and commented upon the whole of the evidence . —The jury , after retiring . for half an hour , returned with a verdict of Guilty of murder . —The Judge then put on the black cap and pronounced the awful sentence of death upon the prisoner , without holding out any hope ot mercy , beseaching her to spend her few remaining hours in making her peace with God . — The prisoner heard the sentence unmoved , but frequently declared her innocence . Tho trial lasted about nine hourr .

      WELLS . Charge op Incendiarism . —Thomas Paull surrendered to take his trial on an indictment charging him . with having wilfully and maliciously set fire to a wheat mow , the property of Hester Paull and another . This was a case which excited tbe greatest interest in the county , and the court was crowded to suffocation during the trial . The prisoner , a fine-looking young man , is the son of very highly respectable parents , his father having for many years rented a large farm of Mr . Leigh , of Dillington , near Ilminster , in this county , - paying him at one time near £ 2 , 400 a year . He died in May , 1849 ; and the widow continued the farm until March last , when she was to leave . The prisoner

      with two other brothers lived with her , and the prisoner was also the agent ofthe Sun Fire Office at Ilminisier , Mrs . Paull was to leave the farm on March 25 th , and as there was to be a sale of the furniture on the 21 st , the family left on the , evening ofthe 20 th . At about eight o clock Mrs . Paull , Miss Paull , Charles Paull , the prisoner , and two female servants left tbe farm , the ladies riding in a car drawn by a pony , and the prisoner walked across an orchard and some fields , and met thenar , which had to go rather a round-about road . Soon after they had got a mile from the farm a light was seen , which it was subsequently discovered proceeded from a fire at the farm , for it appeared that within half an hour of the family leaving , one ofthe wheat ricks was discovered to be on fire . An alarm was immediately given , and after great exertions the fire was confined to the rick in which it originated . The farming stock was insured in the office

      I of which the prisoner was the agent , ahd had been ior many years by the late Mr . Paull . For some time there were various rumours about the cause of the fire , which it was supposed was the work of an incendiary . At last Mr . Leigh issued a handbill , offering £ 50 for the discovery of the perpetrator , stating that the perpetrator had done it maliciousl y , with intent to defraud the insurance company . In consequence of this , rumours got afloat that it was caused by some one ofthe Paull Family , en which they requested the coroner to hold an inquest to inquire into the cause of the fire . This was ' accordingly hold , and numerous witnesses examined . Ta n « , ^ £ JUry tetumd a ™ ° t that the fire was caused by some person unknown and onHJ « i „ oMip-tod t & B »« u ft ^ toSs ^ isSBfir A ^^ JS ^^^^ wfS tifMavflVh i . ? rre was heard aboutit un-Tno 2 Paull tt ™ $ *&* was laid «* inomas iaull as being the guilty party .

      anold servant of Mrs . " , Paull , who . had been exainined at the inquest , 'and had stated some immaterial facts , and-then said that was all he knew about it . Upon hfe-evidence Mr . Thomas Paull was held : to bail to answer the present charge . This witness stated that on the night preceding that of the fire the prisoner had offered him five pounds to ignite one or the ricks , and bad several times since offered him various other sunis . The witness repeated his evidence a second time with the greatest accuracy . ¦ '¦ Several other witnesses wero called , but their evidence did hot at all advance the case for the prosecution , or in any way tend to confirm the evidence of the witness Harris . Mr : Stone hero addressed the jury on behalf of tho prisoner in ' an

      eloquent and powerful speech , denouncing in the strongest terms tho conduct of the witness Harris , whose evidence it was not possible for them for one moment to believe . The whole was a perjured talo , concocted for the purpose of convicting his young master , in order to obtain tho reward of £ 50 offered by Mr . . Leigh . After commenting with great . power on the incredible stateirients of this man , and tho manner in which hehad given his evidence , and on being called on to repeat it giving it word for word , after saying that bo had never repeated it to any one , he called on the jury to say whether it was necessary for Mm to go further , and further damage tho character of this man by calling his witnessesand showing that the . man Harris

      , had grossly perjured himself in denying that he bad said what he had been asked on his cross-examination . —The jury interrupted the learned counsel and said they were quite satisfied . —Mr . Justice Coleridge then said that after the strong intimation of the jury as to their opinion of the evidence of Harris , in which he entirely concurred , it would nok be necessary for him to address them at any length . No one could have heard tho way in which tho man Harris had given his evidence without being convinced that he must have learned bis evidence by heart ; indeed ho ( the- learned judge )

      believed that the man , or some one as wicked as himself , had written down tho tale , and that he had learnt it by heart . As it was , the case entirely depended on his testimony , as there was an entire absence of motive to induce a respectable young man like the prisoner to commit so serious a crime , from the commission of which he could not obtain the slightest benefit , and the committal of-which could only injure his family and himself . —The jury immediately returned a verdict of . Not Guilty , which was received with loud cheers by a most crowded oourt , and the prisoner immediately left tho dock surrounded by his friends .

      PunjruRY .-Azariah ; Richardson , 31 , was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury . This was a prosecution by the Watch Committee of Bath , arising out of a summons taken out by tho prisoner against one of tho inspectors of the police force of that city , named Dunn , in which the prisoner charged him with having assaulted and abused him on the 27 th of April last . The summons was heard by the magistrates on the . 7 th of May , and was dismissed . Richardson and a man named Ruddick were then examined , and in tho course of their depositions they swore that on the 27 th of-April Dunn had struck Richardson with his fist ; that he had knocked Ruddick down three times ; that they afterwards went to complain at the Widcombe

      station , when Dunn came in , and , calling them " rascals , " kicked them both out , saying he would have . '' none of tlieir London tricks there . " They also stated that Dunn bad afterwards offered to compromise the matter . Witnesses : were now called to prove that these statements had been sworn , to . by the prisoner , and to disprove tlieir truth . Vov the defence , a man named Sargent , was called : by Mr . Stone , and he swore positively that he saw Dunn knock Richardson down , and kick him twice , in So . uthgate-street , on the night of the 27 th April , about , twelve o ' clock , and that he also knocked Ruddick down . It appeared , however , that although Sargent had heard of the summons

      and of the subsequent examination of Ruddick on the charge of perjury , he had not gone before tbe magistrates , and had said nothing about tho matter till within the last three weeks , Mr . Pbinn replied on the part of tho prosecution , and his Lordship having summed up , the jury found tho prisoner Guilty . Isaac Ruddick was then indicted on a similar charge . The evidence for the prosecution was nearly identical with that in the last case . Tbe prisoner was undefended . —Guilty . His Lordship then sentenced both prisoners to he transported for seven years . By direction of the Judge the witness Sargent was apprehended , and ordered to bo taken before a magistrate on a charge of . perjury . ,

      LIVERPOOL . Manslaughikr of a Wife ry her Husband . — Robert Reed , 33 , was indicted for the manslaughter of his wife , Eliza Reed , at Liverpool , on the 9 th of the present month , by striking her with his fist upon the lobe of the left ear . The prisoner prayed for counsel , and his lordship assigned him Mr . Aspinall . The prisoner was a singer in a concert room , and on the night of the occurrence his wife went to fetch him home . On their way home they quarrelled , and immediately upon entering their lodgings the prisoner struck at his wife , and she ran or was pushed into a dark parlour into which the prisoner followed . In about five minutes afterwards the prisoner left the room and went to his bedroom . A female went into the parlour shortly afterwards , and found Mrs . Reed lying in a pool of blood , being at the time quite dead . Mr . Wilson , surgeon , gave it as his opinion tbat death had been

      occasioned by the wound on the earf but said that this might have been produced either by a blow or a fall . The defence of Mr . Aspinall was , in effect , that there was no proof that death was the result of a blow given by the prisoner , and the surgical evidence went to show that death might have been occasioned by a fall . The jury found the prisoner Guilty . Sentence deferred . Stealing Post Letters . —Joseph Booth Pearson 10 , was indicted for having , at Manchester , feloniously stolen a post letter , tho property of John Wood Fletcher , and also with stealing eight post letters from the Manchester post-office , with the intention of robbing his employers , Messrs . Wood and Wesf ^ ead . The prisoner pleaded Guilty . —Mr . Pollock addressed his lordship in mitigation of punishment , on account of the prisoner ' s good conduct since his imprisonment on the charge . —The sentence deferred .

      Manslauhteb . —Thomas Dickenson , a respectable man , was indicted for having at Liverpool , on tho 14 th of June last , by the negligent management of a bale of cotton , over which he had the management , caused the death of James Johnson . The prisoner is a warehouseman in " tho employ of Messrs . Brown , Shipley , and Co ., merchants , and one part of his duty was to superintend the reception of cottonto be warehoused . On the day stated the deceased conveyed a load of cotton to be warehoused ; He slung a bale of cotton from the cart in the ordinary way , and it was hoisted into an upper room but in consequence of there being no one at the check rope , the bale caught in the cathead , and the rope became entangled . The deceased called

      out , ana the prisoner came to the warehouse door , and in attempting to free it from the cathead the rope became slackened and the bale fell upon the deceased in'the cart below , whereby he was killed . During the progress of the trial , the prosecution was abandoned , ahd the prisoner acquitted . Stabbing a Rent Coilkctor . —Thomas Gordon , an elderly man , was indicted for having , at Liverpool , on the 20 th of July , maliciously stabbed Wm . Pritchard , with intent to do him grievous bodily harm . The prosecutor is a collector of rents , and the prisoner occupied a small tenancy for whieh Pritchard was the agent . Oh the day stated in the indictment prisoner went to prosecutor ' s residence in Paul-street , and was seen shortly to come out

      again , but in a little time afterwards was . observed again to enter the house , at which time he had an instrument , supposed to be a knife , in his hand . On entering the house , he went and stood over prosecutor , Who was Sitting writing at a table , and said «« Are : you Pritchard ? " Prosecutor answered "i believe lam . " ¦ Prisoner replied , "If you are , ' lam Gordon : take that , and you will want no more " and then stabbed him with a chisel in the abdomen On the way to Bridewell he admitted tbe offence to the police officer , and said the prosecutor had been the ruin of him and his famil y . _ i his defence the prisoner said-that Pritchard had frequently dis-0 luriiiiure

      vramcu upn n ; ior small sums ; that on the day preceding the occurrence , whilst he and his » ilr / 5 ab J L - t fr ?™ home search of work , and whilst he and his wife were the onl y parties in the house he brought the bailiffs and took Lay Se whole furniture for a claim of 6 s .

      A VOICE PROM THE LAND . TO THB EOITOR OF IHE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —Having been a located member upon Dodford , more than twelve months , I tender : my thanks to the noble founder , Feargus O'Connor , for placing me upon the land of my birth . I am aware that we have had difficulties to contend with , and still have ; nevertheless , I have a confident hope that a little more time and exertion will bring us through . And , I think , ours is a proud position to occupy , when we contrast it with tho day labourer , who has only about seven shillings a week after harvest , and often no work , while I shall have . the necessaries of life , and a comfortable home , and can bid defiance to stern winter . Hoping our champion may live to realise his fondest wishes , and those of his friends , and when ho dies a glorious immortality , is the desire of a contented four-acre occupant at Dodford .

      An Infant Poisonnn Nt Its Mother.—-A Pai...

      An Infant PoisoNnn nt its Mother . — -A painful case of child poisoning , has been the subject of investigation at Hull during tho past week , the accused being a young woman named Mary Ann Lamb . The accused having been engaged as wet nurse by a Mrs . Foster , of Carlisle-street , placed her own illegitimate child in the charge of a woman at Beverley , offering to pay Ss . a week for ita maintenance . On Friday last , by the request of tho mother , she brought the infant over for her to see . Before , however , Mrs . Clubley arrived in Hull , Lamb is proved to have purchased a pennyworth of laudanum at the shop of a druggist in Millstreet , and when hev child was brought to her mistress ' s house in Carlisle-street , she sent Mrs , Clubley onfc of the way , and ( by her own confession ) administered some of the narcotic to the poor little creature , who died in convulsions the same evening . The mother was instantly taken into custody , and has been committed on the coroner ' s warrant to take her trial for wilful murder .

      Tiierareurics.—The History Of Medidne Is...

      TiiERArEurics . —The history of medidne is by no means flattering to science . It is questionable whether more is known of diseases , their cause , and their cure , at this moment , than in the time of Galen ; it is certain that diseases are quite as numerous , and in the aggregate as fatal . Every age has produced some new system of artificial therapeutics which the next age has banished ; each has boasted in its turn ofcures , and they , in their turn , have been condemned as failures . Medicines themseU-es are the subjects of fashion . Is it not a positive proof that medicine is vet unsettled ; in fact , that it lins no established principles , that it is little more than conjectural ? ' At this moment , ' says Mr . Finny , ' the opinions on the subject of treatment are almost as numerous as the practitioners themselves . Witness the mass of contradiction on the treatment of even one disease , namely , consumption . Stroll attributes its frequency to the introduction of bark . Morton considers bark

      an effectual cure . Keid ascribes the frequency of the disease to the use of mercury . Brillouet asserts that It is curable by mercury only . Ruse says that consumption is an inflammatory disease—should he treated by bleeding , purging , cooling medicines , and starvation . Salvadoii says u is a disease of debility , and should be treated by tonics , stimulating remedies , and a generous diet . Galen recommended vinegar as the best preventative of consump tion . Dessaultand others assert that consumption is often brought on by taking vinegar to' prevent obesity . Bcddoes recommended foxglove as a specific . Dr . Parr found foxglove more injurious in his practice than beneficial . Such are the contradictory statements of medical men !* And yet there can be but one true theory of disease . Of the fallibility and inefficiency of medicine , none have been more conscious than medical men themselves , many of whom have been honest enough to avow their conviction , and now

      recommend MESSRS . DC BARM'S REVALENTA ABABICA FOOD , a farina , which careful analysis has shown to be derived from the root of an African plant , somewhat similar to our honeysuckle . It appears to possess properties of a highly curative and delicately nutritive kind ; and numerous testimonials from parties of unquestionable respectability , have attested that it supersedes medicine of every description in the effectual and permanent removal of indi gestion ( dyspepsia ) , constipation , and diarrhwa , nervousness , biliousness , liver complaint , flatulency , distension , pa . pitation of the heart , nervous headache , deafness , noises in the head and ears , pains in almost every part of the body , chronic inflammation and ulceration of the stomach , erysipelas , eruptions on the skin , incipient consumption , ' dropsy , rheumatism , gout , heartburn , nausea and sickness during pregnancy , after eating , or at sea , low spirits , spasms , cramp , spleen , general debility , thma hs
