      John Hillard, 55, Labourer, Was Indicted...

      John Hillard , 55 , labourer , was indicted for the wilful _mut-der of Thomas Parker , by administering to him a large quantity of poison , known as bella-donna-berrics , be well knowing them to be poisonous and dangerous to _hfe-man life . Mr . Bodkin _appeared for the prosecution , which was at the instance of the Treasury . Mr . Clarkson appeared for the prisoner . Mr . Bodkin briefly stated the _circuina tance of the case , which will be fresh in the recollection erf the public , the whole of the facts having ap . peared in the police reports within the last few days ; and he havh . _'S at the same time expressed an opinion that

      the charge of xnurdcr could not be supported , although the prisoner mii't undoubtedly be amenable to one of manslaughter , _xMr , Clarkson snid lie could not hope to rescue the prisoner from a conviction upon the minor charge , and he must , therefore , save the trouble of going through the evidence by pleading guilty to the charge of manslaughter . The Court said they must be put in _posaeBsion of tho facts of the case , and the witnesses were then examined to prove the safe of the poisoned berries by the prisoner , and the dreadfol consequences that ensued . The Jury eventually found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter , and he wag sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar months .

      The greater part of the remainder of Friday was occupied in disposing of charges of criminal assaults upon females , the details of whicb are unfit ; for publication . Extensive _Kobbert op _Brictss . —Edward T _/ nwin _, aged 25 , and George Fisher , 22 . were indicted fo » " having stolen 2 , 000 b ricks and six loads of sand , value £ S , the property of George Branston and Edwin Gwytheryand Daniel Stammers , a master carpenter , aged 45 , wan charged with having received the _aaene , well knotting them tohavo been stolen . Mr . Clarkson stated thi case for the prosecution , by which it appeared that all the parties- te the transactionwere in some way or other _sonnected with the works oa _> the North-western Railway .

      Charles _PVige deposed thathe is in the employ of Mr . _Markham , a builder . Knows all * ths prisoners' Has seer / both Fisher ' _andUnwin deliver short _brrcRs * to Stammers several times-. Cannot say how msmy . They conveyed them in a eart from the Birmingham- wharf , and from thence down- to- the railway . Had some conversation wish'Stammers-about the bricks , whim ho sard he did not Snow _where-ttiey came from . The _rtamevof tbe owners ware painted' on- the carts . Witness told him they were stolen property .- Hie still persisted in his Ignorance . ; lie said he-did not know _thi-y belonged to- the- Railway . ' Company . i Mr . Alfred ' Perkins , _ex-amirnd by Mr . _Bobinsorn—Wit * _aess is a master carman * and master of _Pisher and' Unwin . Ee _has-a contract * with' the prosecutors tc cart bricks from the Wharf _to-tlle Ciraden station . The- two ' prisoners _were-so employ jd on tha 27 th of _August . Thoy ha _* t no right whatever to -deliver bricks to _> Stammers ; whs- was given _iacustody . He was bailed before tlie ma--gistrate , and _aftarwards surrendered .

      Mrs : Perkins stated that- ' alio _lifceps her husband ' s : books ; and she showed from * them- the deliveries Fisher and U ' nwin had made on the _* 22 iid of August , the day , i _* S was alleged they were taken to Stamaiers ' s instead' of to _Camden-town . ' i The policeman who apprehended'the _prisoners , and _several other witnesses-were called , but' their evidence was immaterial . ' Mr . Payne addressed' the Jury for TJhwin , w 3 o had never recurred one farthing of _monty The only offence ' imputed to liim was , _thfathe drove one of the casts-online day aatned , and" delivered the brick ! to- Mr . Stammers :-

      Mr . Ballartine addressed the Court for Stammers : He _submittd Mat tho proof- ' of guixty knowledge hae ? not ' oven-proved j- He admitted his client had said ; tha ? lie would rather-pay £ S to-end tho matter ; and tbat he ac * kaowlcdged having bought a few bricks of a mam who said he was * « rd up , and that he had given more than their worth . He , ( Mr . Ballatine ) could prove that he ( Stammers ) had the repute of being an _honest'and induetrions trades * mm . The Jury , _ufter . consulting a few minutes , pronounced Fisher Guilty , _and-acquitted Uhwin and Stammers . Sisber and Stammers were again indicted , the former with having stolen , and the latter _witH-having reeeived ,-a quantity of sHna , the property of the same prosecutors , on the 27 _thof-Sugast . J _£ ?; . Robinson stated the case to _the-Jury . Page , the witness- in the last case ,. gave similar _testi--Imony as to the delivery fc >> Stammers by _Uinvia ; and a man not yet _ic-ctrstc-dy .

      The Jury again acquitted Mr . Stammers ,- and ' found the other prisoner _iruilty . Fi < _sher was _sentenced _to-bard labour-mi * eight-calendar months . ¦ William ArssoM -was indicted for having ; Rtolea on the 3 lst of ; 'Auj ? ust , 2 Ml < Miags , valoe £ _-2 t , she property of-Mr , G .

He made various representations , and among others , thai-lie hud a large order for-sacks- On-the 3 tet-of-August 2000 were put into a-. waggon , . ind they were tobe paid for . on

      delivery , but as soon as . the prisoner got possession . he refused payuwat , and refused to return the sacko . Wit . ness made se 7 eral applications , but he-was _treat-sd with contumacy . Witness . inquired at the warehouse where the sacks ware delivered , and found that the prisoner had received thc money . Mn Ballautine _crass . _esamined the _witness , and _elicttatl : something which materially altered the complexion ofthe case . Mr . Commissioner Bullock gave ! it as his opinion that . tho felony was not . roved , but , no doubt , the prisoner had been , guilty of a . great fraud . The Jury acquitted tha prisoner .

      _Allegeu . _MiscoHnnesc . in _GnEtiwucHr Pabk . — Henry Nichols , a member of the lnnur _\ Temple , _surrendered in this _Csurt to abide his trial en , a charge-of misdemeanour . The indictment _charged : him with inciting one Frances Jane Garliek , a child under twelve years of age , in order to induce her _ta . criminal conversation . nith him in Greenwkrh Park . Frances Jane _Gaslick exnmined < - _^ T _aia tea years landsix months old . I was in Greenwich Bark , on the 1 st of ' September , in _com _*> nuj with tern , other children , I wason tlie first lawn , the prisoner having passed two nucae servants , came and sat down by us , audi asked us cur names . We told him our names , and titan be came and sat close to me , and said , " Have you been with other . 'entlemen . " I said I had not . He thun said , " Do . you

      know what I mean . " I made no an _& weu to that . Ho said he would give me a _shillii-g . He came closer to me ,. anti pulled the bottom of my frock . My mother then oame up , and asked what that gentleman was lying agaiastme for ? I told her what he asked me . She went up . to . him _nnd asked him what ho meant . The ' gentleman , then got np and walked away . My mother followed : him to seek for a police officer . Cross-examined—I have never been in co mpany with a set of girls who are in . the habit of dancing in the park , and requesting money of gentle _, men . My mother is a dressmaker , and mak . es . dresses for ' . the girls who live in Roan Street . I know they are hid girls , and I go there to take home their dresses .

      I was never turned out of the park for improper conduct . Elizabeth Garliek examined—lam the mother ofthe last witness , and my husband is a bricklayer . I went into the park on the day named and saw my child lying near the prisoner .. The other children were near . She then told me what she has stated to-day . I asked the prisoner what he mrant , when he got up and ran away in the direction of One Tree hill . 1 could not keep up with him . He was afterwards given into custody . Crossexamined . —I make under dresses _for females in Roan Street . I do not know they are prostitutes . It ' s not a part of my business to ask my customers what they are . I swear that I have never sent my child to any of those

      houses . Susannah Mather examined—I was in the park on the day in question , and heard the prisoner talk to the girls . vho would not have anything to say him . He then went and sat down by the child Garliek , whose hand he took and squeezed . He then pulled her frock , and she tried to et away from him . Gross-examined , — I live by hawking . I waa never turned out ofthe park because I went with an empty basket under pretext of selling things that is ( _hesitating ) I do not exactly recollect ever ° havitig bem served so . I have not been in the habit of laying hold of gentlemen and asking them for money . ( Hesitation again . ) I may know Roan Street , but not in particular . ( Laughter . ) I swear I never went into a house with any one in that street . I swear again I wns never turned out ofthe park _.

      Hannah Cavanagh examined—I live at Deptford , and was with the last witness in the park on the day in question . ( This witness swore boldly to the facts stated by the last witness . ) Cross-examined—I never danced in the park . Can you dance . ( A laugh . ) I will not tell you what I have _elone in the park or what I have not done . ( Loud laughter . ) AU I came here for is to speak against that gentleman . Mr . Clarkson addressed the Jury for the defence , and in thc course of it said , he lamented the hostile part the public press hnd taken against his client , by writing the police inquiry so unfairly strong against him , on the evidence , too , of _; uch witnesses as the Jury had just heard . He most solemnly protested his innocence , and on that he rested his case . In conclusion , the Learned Gentleman expressed his sincere regret that the law would not allow him to call witnesses to prove tbe real character of those who had been examined for the prose _, cution .

      Tl . e Common Sergeant said , he would take upon himself to cull one of the _pnrh-heeperj _, and inquire whether the witness upon whose evidence the case mainly reBted was to he believed on her oath . She had sworn that she bad never been in the park but twice be-fore . The Park-keeper stated , that instead of twice , the gill Garliek was a constant and ' almost a daily visitor , In fact , sbe almost lived in it . She was ono of a gang of girls nhoso obscene behaviour had become a perfect

      nuisance . The Learned Judge -aid he was of opinion that the elder witnesses were unworthy of credit . Tha Jury instantly acquitted the prisoner , who left the Court with many highly respectable friend 9 . Cutting and Stauijino . —Michael Downey was indicted for cutting , stabbing , and wounding John Sullivan , with intent to murder him or do him seme grievous bodily harm . The rase was fully proved , and the Jury found the prisoner guilty . The Common Sergeant , in passing sentence , said that this was a case in which he felt himself justified in putting the law in motion , In order , if possible , to check the frequent and sanguinary use ofthe knife . The sentence was , that he be trans-

      ported beyond the seas for seven years . The Judges were determined , if possible , to put ft . stop to a crime whieh had recently become fearfully frequent . _Snor Robbery . —George Fitzherbert , aged 26 , a joung man of respectable appearance , was indicted for having Molcn » gold watch , value £ 19 , the property of Joseph Kaiser . It appeared that , the prisoner was the companion of the man _Fitzaimons , who was convicted at this Court a session or two back of stealing a . watch from a watchmaker , named Harris , and who was also under a charge of robbing tho Lord Mayor of his watch at the Blaek wall Railway terminus . In the present case , it was proved

      that the prisoner went into the shop of Mr . Kaiser , who is a watchmaker , in Park Terrace , St . John ' s Wood , and asked the price of some gold watches , and while be was examining them , another man , supposed to be _Fitrsimons , came into the shop , and made some frivolous inquiry respecting a gold pin , and then left tke shop , and immediately afterwards it was found that one of the watches had been _stolen . The prisoner was at once suspected of having passed the watch to the other man , and he was given into custody , and . evidence wai adduced to show that the prisoner and the other man were seen in company at a short distance from the prosecutor ' s shop , just before the robbery was committed . The Jury found theprisoner guilty .

      He was then arraigned on another indictment , _charging him with having stolen a gold watch and chain , vain * £ 12 , the property of John James Harris . The robbery was committed in exactly the same manner as the former one , and it w » s upon this indictment that _FitzsimOnP Was convicted , and Sentenced to ted years transportation ns the companion ofthe prisoner . The jj Jury returned a _verdict of guilty , Theprisoner was then sentenced to be transported for ten years . After tbe sentence was pronounced , the prisoner begged to be allowed to address the Court , He then said , that al though _Fitzsimons hnd been eonvrcted as his companion in the robbery at Mr . Harris ' s , , he declared before Almighty God that he was perfectly mnocent , and that the witnesses were mistaken ns to bis identity . He added , that Fitzsimoire was not more than Ave feet four nigh , whereas the man who really wont into the shop was-five feet nine .

      Mr . Harris , in answer to a question from the Court , soid _thathehadnot the _sSglitest doubt as to theidentity of Fitzsinions _, and his dau . jhter anct another _yoong- ' lady who were inthe shop , also swore positively to hira , and _besides tiiis , before the trial took place , a person came tor him fromjPitz & rmo > i 8 and oiftred him the value of the watch and' chain- that had been * stolen- if he would not not appear ng : iin »» hjm . The prisoner wis then _removed , _repesfring his _deelwa _^ tion that * "Pitisimomi- was innocent'of the crime of wki « h he had _bsen convicted .

      ; Collision ' And Loss Of Lis * *?' In T...

      ; _COLLISION ' AND LOSS OF LIS * *? ' IN _T-BIK IRISH , 6 HANNEL . Shankac , Saturday ; — _Testerdey- ' afternoon , _intelligence reached here of a dreadful collision and loss of life-occurring In the Irish' Channel , abont'ten miles oif Tiroy Islands , on the _night _' of the 25 thinst ., by which a Vessel , supposed to be _alarge Indimair , ran into and _fnunde-red a scconer ; named the John Lloyd , belonging _tb-BMfast . The particulars-are reported to be as fol-IbWB : —On the night in question the schooner ; which was heavily laden , was beating np-the north-channel of the Irish sea for tbe Clyde , from-Archangel , when about twelve o'clock a lirge vessel was ob ? erved making _dawnwawla ; Whether ; the ordinary look out * wai kept on board the vessels , it a matter very difficult'toascertain , but it ' appears the position ofthe schooner was not seen untii ' _olose under the bows of the approaching ship , and '

      ere shecould . be brought round the- collision took place . It _is-desoribed to havo been of a-. very violent _deseription-. The Btvh ' ooner was _stl-uck-nearly amidships and-was cat down to the water's edge , her foremast andhnizenmast going over , at the same moment . After they had parted ; the ill-fated vessel was found to-be rapidly sinking , _and in a- few-moments Bhe went _downiir deep water ; _Threaonly ofthe crew were saved , the remainder , who it-is supposed were _nsleepintheirberths , were eithenerushed to death or drowned in their-hammocks . The survivors escaped in-the boat , which fortunately bad been-got clear of the wreck . They state that the ship which run into them hore away , notwithstanding _their-loud entreaties , and offered them not'the slightest assistance ; Thischarge , however , is somewlat incorrect . The ercw of the ship , which has been ascertained to be the Lord

      Dufliyn _, _sf'Belfast , _were-for some time after tbe collision fearful that'she had sustained such damage as-would cause her sinking .- On discovering ; -, however , that she had not received so _serious-an injury ( the wind and tide had carried her some distance from the spot cf the accident , which will account for tbeir not rendering the assistance solicited ) , sbe put back _to-Belfastto make good the damage ere she could resume her voyage to New Orleans . The survivors-of the schoonerTemained in the boat for twelve hours , and being perceived by the Juliet , cf Greenock , irom Calentta , they were _quickjy taken on board . The poor _> Mlows- were much distressed , and tho treatment they met . with from the crew of tbe Juliet h spoken of-in- the highest- - terms . They were landed at Greenock on Wednesday , and , being furnished with the necessary means , were forwarded to their , respective homes ,.

      Suspeotbd Murder Ai: Brigstonthe Body,-O...

      _SUSPEOTBD MURDER AI : BRIGSTONThe body _,-of-a , man , between . thirty and forty years of-age ,. respectably , dressed , was found on Saturday morning , on . the _fuHrof the beach , the _pocliets were filled with beach stones ,. but no money . _wiuvin them . A wound was perceptible on the temple , and there was a _greai-suffusion of blood , . as . it' the deceased had met his death b * . a violent blow . Other parts of _tlie-face were much scratched , and _altogether the body presented an _appearancoas . _ifsoaie foul play , had- beon used . Several persons w « ntto see it , and tliey came away with thc opinion that murder had beeu committed . The deceased had on a , frock coat , a fanoy , waistcoat , and gre _^ striped _docskiittrousess . On searohing the body , several .

      _certificates of admission into a Masonic-Lodge were found ; _, among _; which was a certificate in the _Germaivlanguago _,. verifying tho _service of the bearer as an apprentice to . a . persooi named Joachim Weffin Sternberg , ai Reiehttn . berg , in , the kingdom of Prussia . In this certificate he . was . described as Christian Martin _Elias Mailer . It _appealed _fiom the _Mafic-sic _certificates that he had been initiated into the Albion lodge , St . Jermya-street , June 1 , 184 i _, and that he was afterwards exalted in the Mount Sinai Chapter on tha _SJlst of February , 1343 . The body was removed to the Brunswick Hotel tap , and My . Batts , the overseer of the Hove district , wrote toFreimasons _* - _H-all , in the hope that the body mighi be idenlified , but up to this time no . one has been to claim it .

      The finding ofthe body in the stats tbat it was excited a , great deal of interest , and numbers went to sec it on Sunday . This moruing a coroner's inquest was held before F . II . Gell ,, Esq ., coroner & r Sussex , on the remains _, when Anthony Murphy , _aeommissioned boatman on the Coast-guard Service , deposed to the finding ofthe body nbont six . or seven yards out of the water , and it appeared to him as if it had been thrown up by _thewattr . The lower part of tbe oody was buried In shingle . and tbe face was turned upwards . Tbe witness thought the marks , on tho fr . ee might have beeu caused by the surf .

      From the evide nee of Mr . Jarnes Turner , a surgeon , in _Regcncy-squw . _'e , Brighton , who had baen requested to mnke a post _mortem examination of the body , it appeared that there _wa-g nothing about the bruises on the temple to lead him to the belief that death had resulted from violence . " He found the brain very much congested , which he believed was caused by drowning ; he found nothing to account for death excepting the ordinary signs of these who beeome suffocated after walking into the water alive . The Jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned . "

      committee of vestrymen to investigate the conduct of the officers of the workhouse , was moved by Mr . Whitford . A long and stormy discussion _eiiBued . In the course of the proceedings a letter was read from one of tbe inmates ofthe house , dated "Oakum Room , St . Paneras Workhouse , containing a number of complaints against Mr . Lee , the master , whose word , it was alleged , appears to be law in the eyes ol the directors . Thc oakum room w « s represented to be overrun with lice and other vermin . The following is a specimen of the discipline of the workhouse

      Sis of us were confined in a miserable dungeon called the ' refractory' room or 'black hole 'to undergo a sentence of , forty-eight hours close confinement—and close enough it was ; for this ' black hole' had no window or fire-plnce . the delol' was cased or lined with iron , and locked and bolted without-cide . Tbe weather then being so excessivel y hot and close , we also being so many , we complained of the close confinement and heat . As a punishment for complaining a largo board was nailed up over a small air hole that had previously existed , qnd thus the draft and air was entirely stopped . There was

      no ventilation whatever , and wo were almost suffocated , There was also several holes knocked and made iu tlie opposite wall of tbe cell to admit thc foul air , and . the stench from the _burving . ground which adjoins the cell , the wall of tho _burying-ground forming a portion of the cell . Tlie abominable stench that came in turned us all quite sickly , there not being an escape for it . I myself was also kept confined therein 30 hours , and all tho food that was given me was four ounces of bread only during that time . The only reason we were confined there was for applying for relief , there being no other reason whatever . There is no bed nor oven straw in the place to lie

      upon ; only the hard boards , which are infested with Hens . Upwards of thirty of us bave been there together confined , and half of us havo been compelled to lie on

      the floor . Mrs , Jones the mother of the late unfortunate Mary Anne Jones , who committed suicide' was confined there for some days and nights together without her clothes , they being token from her by the authorities , and also beaten about the body with great violence , there _beinff black marks and bruises about her arms , Which she showed to me and others who were with me . This cruelty is almost enough to drive any person to acts of suicied . As to the food , the same letter stated , —the meat is so hard and tough that itis with difficulty we chew it . The gruel and broth we seldom or ever use , as there are three broth days in the week , and we can ' t make use of the broth . We have three days to dine upon four ounces of dry bread alone . I my self have often been kept fourteen days by Mr . Lee , the master , without meat , which caused me to live lor fourteen days successively on nothing hut dry bread . The reading of this letter created a powerful

      sen-Mr . Howorth did not believe ono word of the document , it-wag eridently a tissue of falsehood from beginning to end . The meeting having been addressed by several gentlemen pro and con , the amendment was put from the chair , and lost by a majority of fire . The meeting did not terminate till after midnight .

      Toe Hc-Ottslow Military Tragedy. The Wor...

      toe _hc-ottslow military tragedy . The worst fears for the fate of tbe witnesses examined at the inquest held upon poor White , fate private of the 7 th Hussars , are , we regret , likely to be realised . We understand one witness , who , in consequence of his superior attainments- and conduct , had been elected president of his room , and whoce advice was followed , and example imitated by his comrades , was , after giving bis evidence , removed from " the reom , and placed * in another over which a corporal swayed authority . Another , wh _» is most respectably connected , and whose conduct as a soldier' h ? beyond even the breath of censure ; having , after he gave his evidence- like a soldier and a- man of honour , interested himself in raising a , subscription towards tbe erection of a monument to White's memory , wns ordered to attend the Colonel's quarters . He did so , when the following dialogne ensued :-.

      Colonel . —I understand that the men are raising a subscription so build a monument to White . Is _sUfih- tlie fact ! Soldier . _—Tfs , Sir . Colonel . —I am also informed that you are making yourself conspicuous in collecting * that fund . Is that so ? Soldier . —Yeo- Sir . Colonel . —Are you aware that , By so- doing , you areguilty of a breacS _; of discipline , and' expose yourself topunishment % Soldier . —No , indeed ; Sir * . I am not ; : aud this is the first time I have bean told so-. _Cblbnsl . —You _dc- _'putyourftelf in that position by such conduct ,

      Soldier : —I hope not ; Sir . Indeed , S can- scarcely Believe it , for I ' cannot' _conceive what crime-there if in raising a monument _to-a-deceaced comrade ; Colonel ;—Well / _wellj . _you'will see it . _You-miiy retire , The soldier _accordingl y _obeied the mandate- to retire _, as be did the order to attend , but * the interview wi _' . h his Colonel _neither lessened' His zeal'in collecting-subscriptions- _tbwaTdfc- the monument mor their amount . The one continued'as fervent as-ever ; ' and the other-continued to be raised without the slightest diminution . Poor - "holloa" MathcwBon , w & ose bafck w _*« 9- t 6 _*» by _thesanguinary- ; lash , because , witbrout knowihg'whom he _was-addressing at the time , _for'he did not _ses-hitn , he cried out- "holloa " to a question from the sergeant , is now a _prisener in-Hounslow-barracks _^ awaiting his-trial by court-martial . It ' appears'that last Sunday-he was

      on duty- at' Hampton _jCourtj . wben h » mother , _aeoompanied by his _brother-in-lAw-i—jnst' discharged from a lancer regiment , and whom he had not'seen for-nine years—visited hint . -. He _aoJ _& d his sergeant , whey-was corporatoverhim when he was a-prisoner , previous-to his late punishment at the-ladder ; to-allow another soldier , who had agreed so tevdb , to _mount-guard'for him , as _he--wished to spend a few-hours--with his family . This favour the sergeant peremptorily _lefased _, although he had allowed a- similar and a greater liberty to another soldier . After-that the sergeant- followed ' _-him to " Trophygnte , " * where he mounted guard , and where , according--to his- { the sergeant ' s ) 1 , statement ; be abused and threatened him . The _sereearit accordingly reported Matthewson ,- and put him under- arrest ; The colonel , upon tho sergeant ' _s report , ordered a- district court * martial tobe held -upon Matthewson .

' The witness was sharply cross-examined ; by the prisoner whose _defenoe-was , that Serjeant O'Donnell came to him while on sentry , and told him th & Mie could neither have his . sentry hour _* changed nor "be _trellaved . To that he- replied , " I 6 * a , very 46 U * y , for my brother-in-law has just arrived from the East Indies and I wanted to see him . " The charge brought against him by Serjeant O'Donnell was unfounded ,, and did not contain a single word of truth- He also wished to . state that _Serjeant O'Donnell wasdrinkingin the _Cantean before he went on . guard and afterwards ; and tbat he told private Hutchinson that he might pat himself in prisoner ' s sentry , _fon he should not . The President . —Hutchinson should have be « n brought forward .

      The prisoner , in continuation . — Hutchinson had marched off with his regiment—as also had several others who might have spoken for htm . Serjeant O'Donnell was not sober at the time , and when be came to the _' guard at night , he laid down on thefloor of the guardroom , and to all appearance was quite drunk . Tbe prisoner had no witnesses to bringfor ward . All the men who were on guard with him had gone off with tlieir regiment . He did not apply to the commanding ofiieers to have the witnesses detained , believing that the serjeant would bare told ( lie trutb , or else be illiquid nave done so .

      The prosecutor , Lieut , 'William _ViscouHt St . Lawrence , of the 7 th Hussars , produced the record of a previous conviction by a Regimental Court-martial , on the 22 nd of last June , when the prisoner was found guilty of using violent and improper language to Serjeant Tompie , in the discharge ofhis duty , and of insolent conduct to Colonel Whyte , when brought before him ; He was on that occssion sentenced to 100 lashes , which he receired . Lieut . TiscountSt . Lawrence also deposed to the character of the prisoner whilst in the _regiment as bein _? extremely insolent and disrespectful to his superiors . The prisoner was 20 years and 6 months old , and had been in the regiment six months . This last evidence having also been read over to the prisoner , the Court rose , and theprocecdings terminated , Matthewson being led away in the custody of soldiers carrying drawn swords . Tho verdict will of course not be published till it bas been submitted to the Horse Guards .

The charges against . _Matthewson , what the Court had to-try , were those-of Insubordination and tha-use of threatening and disgusting _languuje to _Laace-aerjeant O'Donnell ,- his superior ofacer _, while-on duty . The _officerscomposing the Court were alb ofithe 12 th Lancers , the regiment now _stationed at Hounslow Barracks ..

      THE WELLINGTON STATUE . The removal of the colossal equestrian statue Of the Duke of Wellington , from the studio of the artist , Mr . M . C . Wyatt , in Harrow Road , Paddington , to its alleged " temporary" resting place at nyde _Park-corner , took place on Tuesday , and was attended with all the eclat that military pomp , a _conntless assemblage of persons , andtlie interest necessarily attached to so herculean a labour , could ensure . The throng of human beings extended as far as the eye could reach . Every window bad its occupants , and even the bouse tops were crowded with anxious faces , while the enlivening strains of the military bands , and the presence of a large force of the household troops , added not a little to the excitement of the occasion . Nor was tho presence of the aristocra cy wanting to give a feature to tho proceedings . A commodious platform was erected immediately in front of the artist ' s residence , and was filled with a brilliant assemblage of rank and fashion .

      A massive and lofty platform of timber of great strength , supported by four immense metal wheels , principally composed of wrought iron , had been erec ted at an immense expense to convey the gigantic work to it 3 destination . Upon this the statue was mounted—the chest and quarters of the horse resting on the body of the plat _, form , while the four legs descended below the axles of the wheels , and were there supported by iron bars , so placed transversely as to meet the hoofs of the animal . The weight of this mammoth carriage was nineteen tons , and that of the statue itself being forty , made the entire weight to be transported fifty-nine tons , exclusive of the

      company of riggers , superintendents , & c , who clustered like so many p _' gmies around tho base of this Titanic work of art . At an early hour in the morning it was dragged from the woikshups of Mr . W yatt into the roadway , by the united efforts of 100 Pusileers . A considerable period elapsed before the fastenings wore completed to the satisfaction of those entrusted with the care Of it * removal , hut _tbis-bavine been done , 29 horses , belonging to _hestudofMr . _Goding , the eminent brewer , were attached to the carriage . Tbey were placed three abreast their heads decorated with laurels , and were _£ ?« _£ ta H draymen , each ofthem attired in a new _profiio _^ i suit .

About a quarter past twelve the enormous maBs was , at length , all preliminaries having been completed , p ut Sot motion , This was the signal for a crash of military music , and a burst of applause from tbe congregated thousands , whicb literally rent the air . The procession was formed by a large body of tha Household troop * , both horse and foot , with their splendid bands , under tbe command of ths Marquis of Londonderry , and reached its termination without the slightest accident occurring to the statue or to any of the specta « tors . The corners of the streets were turned without drffi

      . culty , and tbe entire journey was performed in less than an liour and a balf . Her Majesty the Queen Dewger anil ber Royal Highness the Princess of Prussia , together with their Royal Highnesses tbe Duke and Duchess of Cambridge , Lord Charles _Wellesley _, and all the members ofthe nobility who were presentat the removal of the statue , witnessed its arrival from the balcony of _Apsley House . The carriage was stopped for some minutes before the balcony , tbe bands playing " See the conquering Hero comes , " and it was then slowl y drawn beneath the scaffolding to the east of the triumphal arch . In consequence ofthe lateness of the hour , the raising ofthe vast group to Its place on the top Of the arch W _86 postponed until Wednesday morning .

      Some idea of the vast dimensions of the group may ba formed from the following figures . The height from tho base is about 28 feet ; the girth round the borse , 23 feet 8 inches ; arm of ditto 5 feet 4 inches ; from the horse ' s hock to the ground * , C feet from the horse ' s nose to tbe tail , 26 feet . The work has been nearly six years in coin _pfeting , and the expense is somewhere about £ 30 , 000 .

The Late Fatal Case of _Milisary Flogging-.

      —At an inquest held on Saturday , by Mr . Wakley , he made sumo remarks on the _frequency of cases of death arising from the effects of injuries to the skin _, and said that , since the late inquest , at Hounslow , on private Johu _Freelerick White , of the 7 th Queen ' s Own Hussars , his attention had been more particularly drawn to such cases , which he found averaged five each week . Until that inquest such cases were confined chiefly to burns and scalds , but the evidence given bad proved that thc same fatal effects might arise from other injuries to the skin . That fact had just been confirmed in a very extraordinary manner . Mr . Hawes , M , P „ the TT i n i - - Under

      Secretary for the Colonies , had a day or two since communicated to bim , that by a report just received from Dr . Motherwell , tbe superintendent of convicts in Van Diemen ' s Land , as to their condition , it appeared , by a discovery ho had made , that two very important effects were produced on the convicts by resorting to corporal punishment , viz ., inflammation of the chest and disease of the heart , the very causes of private White ' s death , but which were ascribed by four out of the fire surgeons examined to sudden change of temperature , Mr .
