Mrs , Wood was feeding the child with bread and milk , and being called away , she took the child with her , and left the o * re . _* ul and milk upon a table _wsu * io the prisoner ; anil the prisoner , it is supposed , then poured some oxalic acid into the bread aad milk . Mrs . Wood rciorned , and , ignorant of wh » thad been done hy the _prisoner , proceeded to feel the child with the bread and
and milk , of which she took two tcaspoonfuls , d _ ed inconsequence four days after . The prisoner was a widower , and * cas formerly a gentleman s servant , but bad latievly been a radway labourer . He liad stated hc * _sr _ _s about to marry ngnin to a -woman who liad _mow-y , but who knew nothing Of the existence of the infant From _thattache treated the child « Hh m . kmdness , _anJ _^ _WJ wish thathe was rid of it On one ° _^ _^^ thc child in his _-a- rms , and struck its hcatt against , a i _^ S _4 _suckriclence fhat _te _f _^ _" _™*^ and a _pei-son _irterfered and threatoied tthrash the _m-isoner jfie did not desist . After tue prisonci s _apnrSsiona shawl belong ing to him was found , L _wSapMal was wrapped that appeared to have _contained « -mc sort of crystalline matter . On the shawl , _«» thc wall , aud on the table where the fnnd was . _ruirks corre sponding with those on the
prisoner _' _strowscrs werefonnd . They would fandthat this _plii-w was seen empty a day or two before tbe _ailes-ed murder—the eye medicine was gone ; but on _thetiay-Sfter it was found to contain oxa _!* c acid . _Th-as far it was clear that there was oxalic acid in the child ' s bread and milk , and that there was oxalic-acid in the prisoner ' s possession . Was hc aware it was a deadly poison . The prisoner , after the c _ se for the prosecution had been closed , addressed the jury . As to the phial found hi the shawl in his box _^ he suggested tliat ifc had been put thero by some one else . For thc stains upon his trowsefs he could not at all account , and therefore left his case to the judgment of the court and Tiry . The judge -mmmed up , and the jury , after an absence of ten minutes , returned a verdict of " Guilty , " and the prisoner received sentence of death .
Sa _ jsbcby , March : 12 . aronnEK . —J . Smith , aged 25 , a wretched-looking object , was indicted for thc wilful murder of Eleanor Lawrence at Collingbourn-Ducis , on the 9 th of August last . —Mary Aniictfc deposed : Eleanor Lawrence lived with mo . On Wednesday , August 9 , at twelve o ' clock , she came to me in Mr . Pike ' s Teaping-field , with my dinner . She stayed with me twentv minntes . She then returned towards _Collmo-boui-n . In about an hour and a half I was calted . I went along the field towards the turnpike road , where I saw Lawrence lying on the road with the blood running from her head . Her bonnet was off , and sbe was insensible . She was conveyed home . I saw her until her death , which took place
on Friday morning at ten o clock . She was thirtyfour years of age . —Thc Rev . G . Hadow , curate of Everleigh , _deposed : I live about half a mile from the Crown Inn , at a lone house . About two o ' clock that day the prisoner called at my house and asked for work . He appeared much excited , and was breathing hard . I asked what was the matter , but he made no answer . He had been running very hard . He immediately hurled two stones at me , and wonnded me in two places . I rushed into my study , as I thought I was going to be murdered . I went out again _^ but he was gone . I ordered a man to go in pursuit of him . I took my horse and rode into the Devizes road . I soon came up with the prisoner , who was coming back . He said , " I
suppose "TOU w _ nt me ? and pulled a stone out of his pocket , and threw at me . He hit me three times , and then ran away . _Tfoodruffe and my servant Mortimer came up , and we pursued him , and secured _ u _ _o- I asked him if he liad intended to murder mc ? and he said , "Yes , I did not care what I did . " "Woodruffe asked him if hc was not ashamed of liimself ? He said "No , for I have committed a murder already to-day . " 1 asked him where ? and he said " You will soon hear of it . "John Stagg deposed : I had the prisoner in custody on the 10 th of August for the assault on Mr . Hadow . Harry eame tip , lind desired to have the prisoner taken back on a charge relative te a woman who -W . -U- found beaten near _Collinghotirn _. The prisoner
said , " I knocked her down , I did not ravish her . I met the woman on the road , and threw a stone at her and knocked her down . I then kicked her about the head and ran away . If I had not gone to thc parson s house I might have been some miles away _, if you had asked me I should have said the woman * wa " s dead . " I asked what woman , but to that he made no answer . Hc _subsequently said , " Ifc was my own tongue that done inc . "—A jacket , which ¦ was found near the scene ofthe murder , was proved to be one similar to that worn by the prisoner , who acknowledg ed it to be his . —George Andrews deposed : I am surgeon of the county gaol where the prisoner has heen since last August . He has been in a sane state of mind , and has a perfect knowledge of right and wrong . Cross-examined : I have seen the prisoner about twice or thrice a week . A person mav be in a sane state at one lime and mad at
another . This is called monomania . It is only discovered when the particular subject upon which there is a delusion is acted upon , A person may be perfectly collected until the delusion is brought forward At the tunc the delusion exists , a party cannot distinguish between right and wrong . There is a disease called insane impulse , the predominant character of whieh is to commit acts of violence—a sadden irresistible desire to destroy human life , or to commit a theft in the higher ranks of life—By Lord Denman : Ifc is never thought so in thc humhler class of life , is it ? "Witness : It is not , my lord ; hut in the higher classes there can be no reason for committing theft—Lord Denman : Xo desire to possess that which does not belong to them ?—Crime is committed without any discoverable motive . Their will is not under control . —Re-exaamined : I have not seen anything in the prisoner ' s conduet to induce me to believe thathe lias had
monomania or instinctive madness . I have not had any personal experience of such matters , but 1 have read it in books . —Mr . Challoner Smith addressed thejury on behalf of the prisoner . —Lord Denman , in summing up , observed that it was with great rashness that persons made doctrines as excuses for the worst passions , and persevered in contending that influences were irresistible . He was not aware that medical men were more capable of accounting for the state of thc mind than other persons . To say that a man was irresponsible without positive proof of any act to show he was labouring under
some delusion , seemed to bun to be an assumption of _knowledge which none but the great Creator himself could possess . He did not see anything to prove a diseased state of mind , except the violence of the act itself ; and he could not help observing that the surgeon of the gaol had not found any symptoms of mental disease . —The jury consulted together for a few minutes , and then returned a verdict of " Guilty . "—On being asked why sentence of death should not be passed on him , the prisoner replied that he was innocent of the murder . —Lord Denman then passed sentence of death .
3 _Iaii > sto _3 * e , Mahch IS . Alleged _I-scesdiakism . —Charles Ableton , a boy 12 years old , was indicted for feloniously and maliciously setting fire to a stack of straw , the property of James Hussell , with intent to injure him . Mr . Deedes prosecuted ; Mr . Addison defended the prisoner . Thc prosecutor in this case is a fanner at Horton Kirby , and it appeared that the fire in question occurred on the 6 th of _November in Last year , the day when it will be remembered , owing to the oth falling on a Sunday , thc commemoration of the gunpowder plot was celebrated . The only actual evidence against the prisoner was that he was seen near the _pLtce about the time the fire broke out . The 5 * 1 *** ; , af ter a short deliberation , returned a verdict of Not Guilty , and the learned judge gave directions that the prisoner should be at once p laced inthe charge of his father , who was in waiting to receive him .
Bobsixo Fahxi Pboduce . — -A . Humphrey , eighteen , and I . Ellis , eighteen , were indicted for feloniously _settinsr fire to a barn , containing a largequantityof wheat , oats , and barley , _amounting in value to moro than £ 500 , the property of Edward Monckton . —Mr .

DIPEItlAL _FARLIAMEXT . THURSDAY , March , - 15 . HOUSE OF _COMMONS . —Rate ix Aid Bnx _*—The Ciiaxcelior of the Exche quer answered _ssir Robert Feel by stating that the second reading of the Rate in Aid BUI woula certainly he proceeded _^ S _^ B _^ _xs . _-. Thc adjourned debate onlhe burdens on agriculture was opened by Mr . vr Gibsox . who drew the attention of the House to the distinction existing between the two motions before them , involving , as they did , entirely different princip les—thc one being founded upon leaving the whole amount of the public burden and taxation as ic now stood , merely tr ansferring a portion from one class to another , hy adding a charge of six millions on the consolidated fund ; andthe other , founded on
the principle of giving relief to all classes—agricultural as well as commercial—first by a reduction of expenditure , in order that the claims ofthe national creditor might be duly satisfied , and next , by applying the surplus to the repeal of those taxes which pressed upon the agricultural and commercial industry ofthe country . The right hon . gentleman then proceeded to review the state of the local taxation ofthe country , and urged that , even if thv transfer ofthe charge of six milhons to the consolidated fund took place , still there would be the same machinery necessary for the collection of the rates ; and , therefore , if the proposition was sound in principle , it would be better to transfer the whole charge to that source . Hc had never agitated for the repeal ofthe malt tax , because he had thought
there were good economical arguments against it , but looking to the fiscal reforms that had taken place , and the principle upon which they had been carried out , he thought the like arguments applied to the malt tax , and that its repeal mi ght be justified on the same grounds ; therefore he was now prepared to advocate its repeal , which would be in perfect consistency with the policy parliament had hitherto pursued . If , however , hon . gentlemen turned their backs on reduction of expenditure , and pursued the phantom now leading them astray , they would run the risk of letting the repeal of the malt tax slip through their fingers , and the opportunity might not offer itself for some time of conferring this great boon on the agricultural interest , on the labouring classes , and on the general industry of the country .
Mr . Kee _Seitjier defended the landlords from the attacks which hadbeen made upon them . He should vote for the motion of his hon . friend ihe member for Buckinghamshire . Lord _Nobrets could not vote for the ori g inal resolution , because if such a plan were carried it would necessarily lead to an increase of the income tax ; neither could he vote for the amendment of thehon . member for Montrose , because it would be in opposition to the vote he had given on the motion ofthe hon . member for the West Riding , which involved the keeping faith with the public creditor . '
Mr . C . Lewis entered at some length into the principle involved in local taxation , particularly with regard to the poor laws , and expressed his conviction that the only means of keeping thc relief of the poor within bounds consistent with the safety of property , was a strict adherence to the principle of local taxation and administration . The adoption of the plan proposed by the honourable member for Buckinghamshire would not afford any relief to the landowners and agriculturists . Sh- M . J . _Cuomlet * expressed his intention of votin _** for the motion of the hon . member for Buckinghamshire , but would suggest that , instead of an increase in the income tax , as contemplated by the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer , there should be a
moderate fixed duty on foreign corn . Mr . P . W . Mixes contended that , for the purposes of nationality , real property was too hi g hly taxed , and that what was required was that a mode should be devised in whicb the unfair pressure could be best removed from the shoulders of those who now bore it , and that it should be redistributed more justly . It was because he believed the proposition of his hon . friend would have this effect that he felt he had no choice , but must vote for it . Mr . Bright , in reference to a quotation from a speech of his read b y the hon . member for Buckinghamshire , in which he was represented to have admitted tliat great distress prevailed among the agricultural classes denied that he had ever expressed himself to that effect : what he had said was that although there mi g ht hare been something ol the sort said at meetings here and there in Cambridge , or in Suffolk perhaps , yet in the south of
_England tne cry ot agricultural distress had scarcely been heard . The hon . gentleman then 2 > roccedod to refer to the price of wheat , stating that inasmuch as at Dantzic wheat was now 53 s . a quarter , and other wheat of fair quality 4 Ss ., English wheat of the same quality as the latter would fetch the same price . Therefore if that were so , the pretence on which the motion had been brought forward had signally failed , that no ground had been laid for any change in the existing burdens on thc land which could be justified either by the present condition of the tenant farmer , or by the price of agricultural produce in the home markets . The hon . member concluded his address by paying a tribute to the character of Mr . Cobden , warning the house that the measures his hon . friend proposed had the sympathy of millions , and many sessions would hot pass before the house would vote for the measure which he recommended .
Mr . S . Herbert concluded a speech of some length by expressing the opinion that he thought the house had some ri ght to complain , when a plan of this magnitude was proposed , that there was no mention how the expenses were to be met ; and not believing that any explanation which could be given would render the plan more feasible , and not wishing to raise false hopes , he should oppose the motion . The Marquis of GRA *\ -BT _ ollowed in support of the motion for going into committee , and Mr .
Goulburx and Lord J . Russell against . Mr . Cobdex , in an address of some length , supported Mi ' . Hume ' s amendment , after which Mi * . Disraeli spoke in reply , and the House divided , first on Mr . Hume ' s amendment , which was negatived by a majority of 324—the numbers 70 to 394 ; and secondly , on the original motion , which was rejected by a majority of 91—the numbers 189 to 280 . The result of the latter division was hailed with loud Protectionist cheers , and the House adjourned at two o ' clock .
FRIDAY , March IC . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The business was limite to the presentation of petitions and reading the Overseers ( Cities and Boroughs ) Bill a second time-HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Committee op Supply-—On the question of going into committee of supply . Mr . Hcme moved the following amendment : — " That in the state of the finances of the country , her Majesty ' s ministers , before calling on this House to vote the estimates for the public service , should submit a general financial statement of the whole or expected revenues , and the total intended expenditure for the ensuing financial year . " The hon . member , in answer to an anticipated objection of throwing any difficulty in the way of the governjnent , said there could be no objection to voting a reasonable sum on account , until the required statement was before the Ilouse . Sir _H . WiLLouGnBT seconded the motion .
The Chancellor of the Exchequer combatted the proposition , which was supported by Mr . Cobden . On a division the motion was rejected , by a majority of 49 ; the numbers , 43 to 97 . JfAvr Estimates . —Mr . Ward concluded a speech of details as regards the past and present condition ofthe navy , by moving that tbe number of seamen , marines , aud boys forthe ensuing- year be 40 , 000 , the number for the past year having been 43 , 000 . Mi ' . Hcme replied at some length to the observations ofthe preceding speaker , and after some general observations on financial matters , moved that the number of seamen , marines and boys , be reduced to 35 , 000 .
The amendment was opposed , on the part ofthe government , by Sir F . T . _Barixo and Lord Johh _ tcssE __ , and was supported by Sir \ f . Molesworth and Mr . Cob-ben , the latter of whom proceeded to call the attention of the House to the gross mismanagement which existed not only in the naval department , but also in all the government establishments—indeed , the larger the establishment the greater the waste . The only way by which a reasonable reduction in the cost of the navy could be effected must be by changing the system , and having smaller establishments .
The committee then divided , when the amendment was negatived by a majority of 85 , the numbers being 144 to 59 , and the vote , as also the second on the head of wages , was agreed to . Colonel Axsox moved several votes , on account , in the Ordnance estimates , which were agreed to , and the House adjourned .

_Tns Staxfield Hall Murders . — Wymondham , _Wedstesdat . —It will be recollected that Mrs . Jermy was wounded by the assassin in the elbow joint of her right arm , and that owing to the judicious medical treatment she received , there appeared to be no reason to fear that unfavourable results would ensue . On Monday morning , however , the symptoms took an adverse turn , and the limb has now been amputated . Althoug h the operation was skilfully performed , under the direction of Mr . Nicholls , _ofKbrwich _. andMr . Tannelcy , of Wymondham , the shock which has been sustained by the unfortunate lad y is so severe that there is not the sli g htest hope that she will live twenty-four hours longer . The life of Eliza Chestney , Mrs . Jenny ' s servant maid , md one of the principal witnesses at the forthcoming trial , is also despaired of .

Suicide ix the Regext ' s-park . — At the early hour of seven o ' clock on Thursday morning , James George , one of the park constables , and Sergeant Hockaday , ofthe S division , observed a gentleman upon one of the seats in the park , near Hanovergate , and he was in such a position as to induce them to imagine that something of a serious nature had taken place . They hastened to the spot , and there beheld a man respectably attired , and between thirty and forty years of age , quite dead and cold , his brains having been blown out by thc discharge ofa pistol , which had beyond all doubt been fired off in his mouth , so that his head was literally shattered to pieces , and the seat on wliich he reclined was in a complete pool of blood . The body , which has not yet been identified , was
without loss of time conveyed to Marylebone workhouse , where it awaits a coroner ' s inquest . Shocking Discovert ;—Yesterday ( Friday ) morning about ten o ' clock , the workmen employed pulling down the houses forthe formation ofthe new street from Walbrook to Queen-street , Southwarkbridge , on entering the house No . 1 , Castle-court , for that purpose , to their horror , found in one of the upper rooms the corpse of a woman , with three children crouched around it , the eldest apparently not ten years , all seeming on the point of death ; the fetid odour that issued from the apartment for the moment compelled the men to retire ; on returning they questioned the children , but all they could glean from them was , that they were stay ing .
Information was instantly forwarded tothe police-station in Bow-lane , and the children who had scarcely a vestige of clothing , and were literally covered with vermin , were removed to the City workhouse , in Cannon-street , where they received every attention , but from the deadful state of exhaustion of the two youngest they are not expected to survive . The corpse ofthe unfortunate woman is merel y covered with a ragged gown , no clothing , furniture , nor bedding was in the room , and it is supposed , that finding the house empty , she , with her children , crept in for shelter , and they are believed to have been there for some days , totally withont food .

A child , aged ( afc the time of the horrid transaction ) about eighteen months , was the fruit of their marriage ; aud , in addition to this , she had had confided to her care a niece , aged twelve , the other victim to her murderous hand . The strongest maternal affection was evident in the prisoner towards her offspring ; but for some time previous to the perpetration of the crime the unfortunate woman ' s mind showed undoubted symptoms of aberration attended with lengthened lucid intervals .

The Franklin Expedition.—The Following A...
The Franklin Expedition . —The following are extracts from a letter received at Plymouth from an officer on board her Majesty ' s ship Plover , lying at the Sandwich Islands , Commander Thomas E . L . Moore . The letter bears date August 23 rd , and the writer says * . — ¦¦ We left Calio on the morning of the 8 th of last month , intending to have gone to Behring ' s Straits direct , without touching anywhere ; but , knowing there were despatches at this place waiting our arrival , Captain Moore thought it just as well to peep in here , in hopes that a few stray letters mig ht have been left here as well . _Nothing of any importance has occurred since leaving Calio—just the every-day business of a sea-life .
You shall hear Irom me again on her return from thc ice to Panama ; that will be the last opportunity we shall Lave till next year . I am deli ghted to say that I have obtained permission to go with Captain Moore in Ms boat when she leaves the ship , to proceed along the northern coast of America , towards the Mackenzie River ; to which river Sir John Richardson , with his party , are proceeding , they having landed at New York some two or three months since . He will proceed further to the eastward , as far as Copper-mine River . Sir James Ross
and his ships , which have left England , will commence their search from Davis ' s Straits ; so that if Sir John Franklin and bis expedition are in existence , we shall , in all probability , find them very shortly . Should any unforeseen accident occur to prevent our getting through Behring ' s Straits to the ice this year , which mi ght be , should the winter set in earlier than usual , we shall winter at _Petropauowski , in Kamschatka , or at Norton Sound at the entrance of Behring ' s Straits , on the North American side .

Flint , was oharged with having stolen a purse , containing seven sovereigns and other monies , belonging to her mistress , under the following artful circumstances * - The prisoner and another servant had been left in charge of the house during the temporary absence of the family on the prece 3 ing afternoon , when the prisoner , in a state of great apparent trepidation , began conversing on the subject ofa robbery recently committ edm the neighbourhood , and intimated that she felt a painlul prelcntiment that thc p lace would be broken into and plundered by thieves before her mastei ieturne _^ .

Before the girl had recovered from her surprise at this announcement , the prisoner called hor into the back kitchen and directed her attention to the window , which was partl y open , and through which she expressed her conviction that the thieves had obtained . _ifififiss to tbo _premises . Tho prosecutor ' s wife
returned home soon after , and feeling satisfied , as a quantity of plate aud other valuable property had been left untouched , nnd only her purse and money stolen from her work-box , which had been forced open , thafc the place liad not been entered by regular housebreakers , she sent for the police , the result of whose examination was to confirm hor suspicions , and the prisoner was given into custody . The prisoner in the first instance denied all knowledge of the robbcry , bufc on her way to the court she confessed her guilt , and told an officer where she had concealed tlie proceeds of tho robbery . She was committed for trial .
GUILDHALL . —Materials for ' 'The Mysteries of London . " — C . Stanmore and Caroline Jane Worsley , were charged , the former with using threatening language towards Mr . Brails , and presenting pistols at him , and the latter with aiding and abetting Stanmore , and also with accusing the complainant of having committed an infamous crime . — Mr . _Bruils said : For a long while the female , and latterly tho male prisoner , had been calling upon him , in order to impress upon his mind that they had the means of bringing an action against bim for an infamous act ; and in consequence of information he received from his landlady , he became alarmed lest his name should appear in tho Daners . and wrote to the female to meet him at
the HoteldeL ' _Uhivere , inthe Blackfriars-road . She came , accompanied by the male prisoner , and having been shown into a sitting-room , Stanmore then said to him , " You know you are guilty of an infamous crime , and this woman ( pointing to Worsley ) was witness of it . " He replied thafc he could not listen for a moment to such an accusation , and desired to leave the room ; but before he could do so , they both rushed towards the door and tried to force him back to a chair . He resisted , when the male prisoner suddenly pulled out a pair of double-barrelled pistols and presented them at his breast , at the same timo saying , " You are in my hands . " He sat down and asked what they wanted ; upon which Worsley said , " You must write to the
father of my children , as you have influence with him , to bring them here to see you , and when they arrive you must give thorn to me . " Finding the male prisoner had locked the door , he consented to do so , and asked them , as a moans of procuring assistance , if they would take a glass of wine . The male prisoner said , " you must make compensation to thi 3 woman , as yon have plenty of money . " He refused to do so , and Stanmore threatened to have bills printed in this and other countries , exposing him , and also that ho would bring the charge against him which the female could prove . They consented to take a glass of wine , and the male prisoner went to the door . He was followin-j in the hope of effectins * his escape when the female called out" he will
escape , " upon which Stanmore pulled a pistol out , and said lie should not leave the place , but he mig ht call to the waiter . A bottle of wine was brought and p laced on the table by the waiter who laid a knife down on the table , upon seeing which he snatched it up , and the prisoner at the same time drew the pistol out of his pocket . Hc said to Stanmore thafc he did not care for him , and was about leaving when tlie malo prisoner cocked the deadly weapon , but was immediately seized by the waiter , and the police were sent for . On their arrival he gave them into custody , when the female in the presence ofthe officers repeated her charge . —The female , in defence , said she was a married woman with two children , and left her husband to
live with the prosecutor , her principal reason for which was , that the former being out of employment could not support her . An arrangement was entered into between her husband and Mr . Bruils that the former should g ive up all control over the children . On Tuesday last she was walking with her two children , in the York-road , Lambeth , where she met the prosecutor , who seized her children , at the same time calling out police . A cab drove up , when her husband 3 iimpedout , the cliildren were placed in it . and on her attempting to follow , she was pulled back by two women . The cabman called to her that he should drive td the station-house , but hc did not do so , and she had not seen her children since . She could vouch that Stanmore
intended no harm to the prosecutor . —In answer to questions put by the Alderman , Mrs . Worsley said that her husband was living with another woman , at Greenwich , and she was now living with the prisoner Stanmore . —The male prisoner acknowledged living with Worsley , and said his reason for carrying the p istols ( wbich were only loaded with gunpowder in order to frig hten the prosecutor ) was that he had several times threatened to use the knife . He did not draw his pistols out until he saw the knife in Brail ' s hand . —The prosecutor was recalled , and did not deny anything stated by the prisoners beyond the fact of the pistols only being presented , after the waiter was in the room . — The officers proved that the pistols were only loaded with powder and some paper . —As to being instrumental
in having her children taken away , prosecutor said , as they were intcrestins * children , he advised the father to send thein to France to bo educated , and the mother consented . —Alderman Lawrence said he felt inclined to believe the statements of tbo prisoners to a certain extent . The fact of threats to use the knife accounted for the male prisoner arming himself , but then there was only a little powder in the pistols to fri g hten complainant if ho attempted violence . The prisoners were discharged . — Mr . Bruils asked if he could not take the case to the sessions ? . —Alderman Lawrence would give no advice , and said the less the prosecutor moved in the matter the better it would be for him . Trade Combinations . —J . Faulkner , a
journeyman cigar maker , was charged with inciting an apprentice , partly by threats and partly b y promises , to leave his employers . —H . Vonderboeriin said he was apprenticed to Messrs . Newton , of Friday-Street , cigar manufacturers , and had about a year and a half to serve . He knew the defendant , who left about three weeks ago . Last Wednesday fortnight a person named Coglin mofc him afc the dinner hour and asked hirn to go as far as the White Horse archway , close at hand , to see Faulkner . On the way Coglin asked him if he wished to leave his place . He said , "He'll g ive you 10 s . per week from Saturday ; " and Faulkner remarked " that if he did not leave he would not get work when out
of his time , " and also _offere-Thim 10 s . from tho Wednesday until Saturday . Witness did not consent , —In reply to Alderman Lawrence , witness said he first informed Mr . Newton of the attempt to induce him to leave on a Saturday night . —Mr . Wontner , for thc prisoner , cross-examined witness , and elicited that he did not inform any one of thc affair until the foreman threatened to discharge him for somo slight misconduct . —Alderman Lawrence said the case was very weak , and tho boy had not left Mr . Newton's service . If ho had , the charge would have assumed a different aspect . At present it fell a little short of the offence , therefore he must dismiss the summons .
CLERKENWELL . —An _ArtpclBodge Depea-ced —A well dressed , portly-looking woman , who refused to give her name and address , was put at the bar before Mr . Combe , charged with stealing a banker's parcel , containing upwards of £ 300 in gold and silver money . —Inspector Julian , ot the G division , informed tho magistrate that two persons , who represented that they had been retained to watch the proceedings on the part of the prisoner , had called afc the station-house , and informed him thafc thc name of the accused was Mary Watt . —Mr . Combe asked tho prisoner if she answered to that name , and whether she had employed any ono to defend her ?—Shereplied that she had not instructed a professional adviser , and thafc her name was not Watt . The _magistrate , however , might describe her as Mary Watt , if he thought proper , —Mr . Combo ;* . —Well , to accomodate you , let that be so . — Mr . Bush , the solicitor to the Banker ' s Protection
Society , who appeared for the prosecution , said he should , no doubt be able to ascertain her real name before many days had elapsed , and also show that she was connected with a well-organised gang of thieves . He then called into the witness box — Augustus Brime , porter of the London Joint-Stock Banking Company , in Lombard-street , who proved that on Monday afternoon he received from that bank a brown-paper parcel to convey to the Cross Keys in St . _^ John-street , for delivery at a banker ' s at Luton , in Bedfordshire , and , on arriving there , he handed the same to the coachman of the vehicle running to that town . —The coachman having given evidence of its receipt , and the deposit of it by him m the bar of the Cross Keys _,-r-Mrs . Mary Anne _briffin , the landlady , wasnext sworn : —She said , that on Monday afternoon she first sawthe-prisoner , who applied to bo accommodated wtih _theseat until departure of the Luton coach , as she had a young friend who was coming to proceed with tl » t _< wcy .

ance as far _as'St . Alton ' s . She invited her to take a seat in the coffee-room , to which she objected on the _^ ground of gentlemen bein g there , and , on being offered a private sitting-room upstairs , she urgeu that it would be too lonely , and went away . In about _fi-JJSfanteB afterwards she _^ gain presented _hersclfafcthe bar , when , as a matter of courtesy , he was asked to take a seat in the bar parlour ,-an offer she readily accepted , and in a very short time the last witness left the banker spared in the same apartment on a desk , two yards from the spot where the prisoner was sitting , isot long after this a " gentleman , " who had for several weeks past been in the habit of visiting her establishment , and _loavinp * in her care his great-coat , presented himself Aihnn ' s She invited her to take
in a hurried manner , and , after saying , " Oh , you have a lady here waiting for me , " pushed rudely by her , notwithstanding she objected , and entered the bar parlour to the prisoner , who instantl y recognised him , and said something about his wife , * at the same time thc man called out for a glass of sherry , with which she served him , and received a shilling in payment . She retreated towards the bar to procure him change , when seeing from thc reflection on the glass door , the prisoner receive from his friend a paper parcel ( produced ) with red seals , and exchange it for that of the banker ' s , she ran up to the desk where the first one was placed , and , at once perceiving that the change had been effected , she challenged them with so doina _* , whereupon the " gentleman" seized her by
the arms , endeavouring to throw her down , and to take the packet that had been substituted for the banker ' s from her , but failing to do so he escaped from thc house . While this struggling was going on , the prisoner kept on _exelahmng , "Por God ' s sake what is this about ? what is the matter ? " and seemed anxious to get away , but she was prevented by witness , who obtained the assistance ot the Itev . Mr . Elwyn , of East Barnefc , a gentleman then in the coffee-room , waiting for the coach in question , and tho prisoner , finding thafc she was detained , was observed to drop the banker ' s parcel from under ber shawl , which was partly drawn off her shoulders by the weight as it fell . Sergeant Archer , of the G division , was then sent for , and received charge of
the prisoner , and removed her , at her desire , in a cab to the station-house . At the conclusion of this evidence the parcel brought by the " gentleman " to the prisoner was opened ; it bore a similar appearance to the banker ' 3 , being tied and waxed in a like manner , but it was found to contain a small bag filled with sand . When it was exposed to view the prisoner laughed heartily . Mr . Combe told her she could ask Mrs . Griffin any question she thought fit . — -Prisoner ( firmly ); Will you swear yon saw me drop the banker ' s parcel ?—Mrs . Griffin : Certainly I do . —Mr . Combe ( to the prisoner ) : Is there anything else you wish to ask the witness ?—Prisoner ( smiling ) : Why , no , sir . However , is she not more likely , as she uses sand , to have made up that parcel ( pointing to the dummy ) to play some trick ? ( Much laughter . !—Mr . Combe : Why , reall y I don't think she is . After some further observations Mr . Bush
applied to have the prisoner remanded for the attendance of the clerk who made up the parcel , and also to obtain the evidence of the Rev . Mr . Elwyn . Mr . Combe said that such a course of proceeding was necessary for the ends of justice , and told the prisoner she would be brought up for a further examination in a week . The prisoner applied for the restoration of six sovereigns and some silver money which had been taken from her . Mr . Combe : Will you tell me your name , and where you live ?—Prisoner ( good humouredly ) : Will you let me have my money ?—Mr . Combe : Will you tell me your name ? —Prisoner ; Oh , you have got name enough . One is as good as another . But do be kind enough fco give me up my money . —Mr . Combe : Not at present . I must know more of you first . —Prisoner Then I wish you good morning , and , turning to the gaoler , she tripped gaily to the cell .
To The Tax-Payers Op Great Britain. Wdre...
TO THE TAX-PAYERS OP GREAT BRITAIN . WDRESS OF _THF . COUNCIL OF THE LIVERPOOL FIXANCIAI , REFORM ASSOCIATION TO THE TAX-PATERS OP THE UNITED KINGDOM . On the 26 th of February , the following resolutions were submitted to the House of Commons for its consideration : — "That the net expenditure ofthe Government fox the year 1835 ( Parliamentary Paper , No . 260 , 1847 ) , amounted to £ __ , 422 , 000 ; that the net expenditure for the year ending the 5 th of January , 1849 , ( Parliamentary Paper , No . 1 , 1849 , ) amounted to £ 54 , 165 , 000 ; the increase of nearly £ 10 , QQ 0 , QQn having been caused principally by successive augmentations of our warlike establishments , and outlays for defensive armaments ; that no foreign
danger , nor necessary cost of thc civil government , nor indispensable disbursements for the services in our dependencies abroad , warrant the continuance of this increase of expenditure ; that the taxes required to meet thc present expenditure impede the operations of agriculture and manufacture , and diminish the funds for the employment of labour in all branches of productive industry , thereby increasing pauperism and crime , and adding griovously to the local and general burdens ofthe people ; that to diminish those evils it is expedient thafc this House should take steps to reduce tho annual expenditure , with all practicable speed , to an amount not exceeding the sum which , within the last fourteen years , has been proved to be sufficient for the maintenance of the security , honour , and dignity , ofthe nation . "
This resolution the House refused to adopt by 275 to 78 votes . The question ofa reduction in the national expenditure adequate to afford relief to the peoplo by a material lessening of taxation , is thus , for the present , decided—it is refused . The Chancellor of the Exchequer , is reported , in the course ofthe debate , to have made the following observations : — " When he found that in the last twenty years thc people of this country had been relieved from taxes to a most enormous extent , and
that those taxes were on articles of consumption or the raw materials of manufacture , he was at a loss to understand on what ground ifc was now , for the first time , asserted in these associations throughout the country , and in a public manner , that taxation pressed in so grievous a manner . In the last twenty years there has been repealed or reduced taxes to nearly £ 20 , 000 , 000 . There had been imposed taxes to about £ 9 , 800 , 000 , the country being relieved to the extent oi £ 0 , 899 , 000 , or nearly £ 10 , 000 , 000 , of one description of taxes or another , taken from articles of consumption and raw materials . "
To these remarks thc Association oppose the following comparison of taxation in _IS 01 , and the three years ending the 5 th of January , 1846-7 , and 8 :- 1 S 01 1 S 4 S 1817 1848 Customs and £ £ £ £ , Excise .... 19 , 330 , 8 G 7 30 , 339 , 150 37 , 290 , 461 35 . 575 , 31 * Stamps .... 3 , 049 , 814 7 , 871 , 9 C 8 7 , 675 , 921 7 : 671 , 326 Taxes ( including Property and Income ) 9 , 857 , 134 9 , 624 , 394 10 , 018 , 144 10 , 1 C 5 , 516 Thus taxes , strictly so called , and paid altogether by the wealthier classes ( including the property and income tax ) , have increased since 1801 , on the ave . rage of the three years ending the 5 th of January , 1846-7 , and 8 , by the comparatively trilling amount of £ 79 , 000 only , while stamps ( including the probata and legacy duties , which do not apply to freehold property , and , therefore , press more on the middle classes , ) havo increased in the same period to
£ 4 , 689 , 000 ; but the Customs and Excise , wbich are contributed by tbe masses , and wbich press most especially and most heartlessly on the poorhave , during the same time , been augmented by no less a sum than £ 17 , 070 , 000 . The Customs and Excise Taxes , taken chiefly from the poverty , and not from the property of tho country , nay every farthing ofthe expenses of the State , including the civil government , justice , dip lomacy , forces , public works , bounties , and miscellaneous ; and , in addition thereto , from one-third to one-half of tho interest on the national debt ; so that property really pays not one farthing towards the government and defences of the country , and but little more than one-half of the sum required towards payment ofthe interest on a debt incurred for its especial benefit and protection . This is placed beyond doubt or cavil by the following statement , taken from the official return of expenditure and income , ( Parliamentary Paper , \ Um \ t IOTOJ — - " 1846 1847 1848 Civil Government £ 1 , 562 , 887 .. £ 1 , 582 , 356 .. £ 1 , 598 , 809 Justice .. .. 1 , 557 , 75 G .. 1 , 698 , 010 .. 2 , 074 , 277 Diplomacy .. 353 , 070 .. 350 , 818 .. 34 G _045 Forces .. .. 15 , 664 , 169 .. 16 , 864 , 697 .. 18 , 502 , 148 _Jh _^ w" , ' " . .. 11 . 519 ..

The Kirkdale Political Prisoners . Last ...
THE KIRKDALE POLITICAL PRISONERS . Last Saturday we received a letter from our persecuted and esteemed friend , Mr . West , from which we give the following extracts : — " Kirkdale Gaol , March 7 th " Dear , ' * # * $ * _¥ *** *** _^ « ' I am sorry to have to inform you that I have been very ill since I wrote to you last , and not me alone , but all my companions also . Thi _morning eig ht of us were p laced on the doctor ' s list , j know not by what name to designate our complaints—ifc is a kind a cararrh , arising from frequent and continued colds . I will describe to you how I am afflicted—a violent head-ache , with burning sensationsand a copious discharge from the nnsp _« .. _5 _ _J
throughout the joints , and an icy dullness _dartinsthrough the system , a severe cough , and _spitting and an excruciating pain in the chest , I hare also a lump as large as an egg in my neck . It itas * _j eca accumulating this last ten days , and I am fearful it will settle on my lungs , and become a confirmed asthma or consumption , and I have reason for my fears , when I think of the fate of poor Clayton Duffy , Holberry , and others . We have refrained from making- complaints , lest we should alarm _ouor friends—but we begin now to see that it is serious and that , unless there is a speedy change for thebetter , some of U 3 will never leave this place alivo and the others will be so " mashed up , " that their lives will bo a miserable burden . * * * Poor George White has been severely ill , and <•_
continues . So is James Leach . Poor Grocott is even worse than any of us . Donovan is hardl y able to walk , and Cropper is in an awful state . Our day room may well be compared to an hospital . Pills , blisters , mustard plasters , bottles , < S _* c , are in abundance . You may , perhaps , inquire what is the cause of all this ? I can hardly say , but we attribute ifc to the frequent air draughts and the want of proper ventilation . in our sleeping cells . They are lofty , with arched roofs , and a small aperture to admit air over the door , and a iron-grated window in the
front . There is no glass hi this window , but wooden slides inside which close to . In the morning the bed clothing is quite wet , the blankets about ourshoulders presenting the appearance of a field after drizzling rain or a heavy fall of dew , and if we happen to throw any portion of our clothing over us ifc becomes completely saturated . I never enter my cell afc night but ifc reminds me of a vaulted tomb , and I feel thafc every month I lie in it I sacrifice one year of my existence . But I must close this dolorous epistle , and hope that a more genial season _, may remove many of our inconveniences .
" With kinds respects to all , I remain , "Yours trul y , ''JonN West . " [ A letter received from Mr . West on Thursday ( March 15 th ) , gives a somewhat better account of the state of our suffering brethren . Mr . West was still very unwell , but the health of Mr . White and Others had slightly improved . Press of matter prevents us saying more this week . ]

LETTER FROM AN EXILE . " Hamburg . Feb ., 1849 . • Dear A , —I hasten to acknowledge tho receipt of yours , which c . ime duly to hand , and also to inform you that my wife and family have arrived safe , after a very fine passage , and I have got my son into employment , although the wages are but small ; still every little helps . You will be so kind as to give my best respects to the Committee , and tell them that myself and family return them andthe friends of freedom our sincere thanks for the
assistance thoy rendered , in order to restore a disconsolate wife and children to an exiled husband and father , whose only fault was that of love of his country , and his determined opposition to tyranny in an- / and every shape—and , although at present an exile , I hope the day is not far distant when the reign of despotism will cease , the hardy sons of toil reap the fruits of their industry , and democracy , with all its attendant blessings , be predominant * then will the hearts of all who have struggled and suffered for the cause he gladdened .
Give my best respects fo Mr . O'Connor , and tell him that it g ives me great pleasure to think that hc has been able to keep himself out of the snares that have been laid for him , and I sincerely hope he may liveto see the day when hc will be repaid for all tbe fatigue and difficulties he has undergone for an oppressed people . Remember me to Kydd , M'Grath , and all those noble patriots who have struggled for the cause . Tell them to be in no way daunted by the misfortunes whicli have happened to us , but rather let our mishaps aet as a stimulant , and a
beacon to guard and warn them of spies and traitors . In conclusion , allow mc once move to return my thanks to those friends who contributed towards my escape—viz ., the friends at Hull , York , Darlington , and , especially , Stockton . " I trust some kind friend will occasionally send me a Star to illuminate my darkness—for , although an exile from my native land , my heart is in the cause , and my prayer , night and day , is for the success ofthe cause of " Ri g ht against Mi g ht .
