      The " Quee-Ts Visit To Germany.

      THE _QUEE-TS VISIT TO GERMANY .

      On Saturday Last, Almost Immediately Aft...

      On Saturday last , almost immediately after the prorogation of Parliament , the Queen and Prince Albert left Buckingham Palace for Woolwich , where at five o ' clock she embarked on board the Hoyal yacht for Antwerp on her visit to Germany . Tile Queen looked remarkably well and was attired in a Tuscan cottage bonnet trimmed with primrose-coloured ribbon , purple shot silk dress , and a black silk shawl . The Frince carried his white hat ( immortalised in Punch ) in his hand to the barge . He wore a black surfout and French _& rey trousers , and light drab wrapper . A goodly muster of sight seekers aud fools _werepresent , who of course annoyed the poor Queen with their impcrtinentstaring and silly chatter . At half-past five precisely the Royal yacht cast off her

      moorings and proceeded at slow speed down the river . The yacht anchored in the lower Sea lteaeh , nearly opposite Southend , on Saturday night , and at an early hour on Sunday morning sailed for thc Scheldt . The Queen is expected to be absent about four weeks . How we are to get on in the meantime goodness gracious only knows ! Peter Borthwick is in a sad flurry , and expects nothiug else hut that President Polk , Prince Joinville , or King Dan , will be snugly located at Buckingham palace before her Majesty can return Peter thinks the accident to the crown ( which the stupid Dnke of Argylelet fall out ofhis fingers ) is ominous of some frightful calamity . Thank heaven thereis no Richard in the way—the Duke of Cumber land is safe in Hanover , otherwise Peter would insist upon having the lords justices to take care of the royal "babies . "

      AxrwERP . —The Royal yacht reached Antwerp on Sunday evening after a tempestuous passage . The voyagers , however , did not disembark till the next morning ( Monday ) , when the Queen and her husband enjoyed the usual reception . The Royal party proceeded immediately to the Liege railway , of course attended by a vast number of people . At the _Malinea and _Louvain stations large numbers of people had assembled . Describing the stoppage at the Lourain station , the limes correspondent says , " The people received the Royal travellers with the _customarv welcome . The quiet courtesy of the people seemed , however , not enough for a travelling Englishman who happened to be among them . He setup at once the

      national _bmrah , or rather , in his fashion , the 'hooray / and tried , by acting as fugleman , to induce the rest to join . But the chorus was very faint . The train stepped , however , for a few moments , and when it was once more in motion our Englishman again setup his cheer , waving his hat most energetically By thi 3 time the people had entered into "the humour ofit , * and they joined him with a cheer as hearty as could hare been produced by any given number of John Bulls . The fugleman seemed intensely delighted at the result ofhis feat . " What an ass ! " We are sorry the poor annoyed Queen did not pull this donkey ' s eare . Liege " wasaseene of great esettcment /\ " After a few minutes ' stoppage the train proceeded on to _Aix-la-Chapelle .

      _Cojlobxe , A-cci'sr 12 . —After leaving Liege the next place arrived at was Venders , near the Prussian flintier . According to the Times here _•* " there was a grand sensation . " Here "the Kingand Queen of tbe Belgians , who had accompanied her Majesty thus far , took their leave of the travellers and turned about for Brussels . The next station at whicli the train stopped was _Habersthnl , the point at which the Prussian _temtoiy commences . Hero the Crown Prince of Prussia , made his appearance immediately on the arrival of the train . He went into the Royal carriage . The characteristic enthusiasm of the Prussians was exhibited here also . The cheering was deafening . " At Aix-la-Chapelle " a similar scene was presented , but on a larger scale . The Prussian

      troops lined the station , in which also there was a _rery large assemblage of llerren and Fraucn . Here the King of Prussia was waiting . " Here too there was " fireing of salutes , " . " triumphal arches , " " immense multitudes , " "" enthusiastic cheering , " < fcc . Here the Queen visited the tombof Charlemagne , in the Cathedral . The party returned to the station at about a- quarter to five o'clock , having been away altogether three hours . In a few minutes the train was again in motion . At a small _jilacc , called Langerweide , the train stopped for a few minut _es , and again atDuren , " where there was a great display of Prussian beauties , troops , music , laurels , and enthusiasm . " But , according tothe limes , "gratifying as the reception of her Majesty by

      the Prussians must have already been , Cologne presented a still more striking spectacle . As the spires of the ancient city became visible in the distance , so also were there signs tbatilsvast population were on the stir . When tbetrain neared the station , a dense mass of people were to be seen , who had collected there to view her Majesty ' s arrival . There were triumphal arches , festoons , bands of music , and above all , troops in abundance—in fact , the same scene which had been enacted at almost every station on the way down was now repeated , bnt on a gigantic scale . The whole population of the city seemed to have poured out , so dense and so enormous was the crowd . " The royal party left the railway for thc nriTate _carriaires . which were drawn up outside the

      station , and drove off at once to the station of the Bonn Railway . To < 1 _d this they had to pass through the principal part of thc city of Cologne . A short time on the Bonn Railway brought the travellers to the Bruhl station , close to the palace of the King p f Prussia , " where her Majesty arrived soon after in safety , in thc praencc of multitudes , who gave her a right hearty welcome . " Bosx , Acccst 12 . —This day the great musical festival and solemn inauguration of the statue of Beethoven took _plaeehere _. The King of Prussia , Queen Victoria , and Prince Albert , with their usual suites , arrived by the railroad from Br ' uhl , at twelve o ' clock . The inaugural address was pronounced by Dr . lireideustein , and then followed the festal song composed for the occasion bv thc same professor ,

      -which-wasbeautifully executed . Afterthc festal song their Majesties and suites appeared in the balcony , and were received with a load burst of applause . The record was then signed by the members of the _comjmittee , stating that the inauguration had taken jilacc in the presence of their Majesties the _King of Prussia and the Queen of England , and w & e then deposited in the monument . The statue was then _sudden-v uncovered , and this was the signal for a load buret of enthusiasm , which was increased bat not overpowered by a salute of musketiy and _artiUerv , thebaadperfonningoaeofBDcthovcii * _sfavourite melodies . The statue was so placed that its back was turned towards the balcony in which the Royal party were seated , reminding one of the story told of tbe _great musician , and maintaining his peculiar characteristic to the last , of never taking off his hat

      tothe Emperor of Austria , or paying any homage te Rovaltv . The total heig ht of thc statue is 25 foet _, ofwhichthepedestalniakcs 1-5 feet . On thefour sides of thc pedestal are allegorical emblems rcprcseaiing symphonic , fatasie , dramatic , and religious music . The statue isofbrorae _, and the countenance is strongly marked and cxprcsivcof great intellectual power . " Countless thousands were assembled from all parts of Germany , and the proceedings are described as having been most magnificent . The royal visitors left thc town immediately after thc inauguration . They afterwards embarked on board the Fain * yacht steamer at Bruhl , and proceeded down

      the river to Cologne , the banks on either side using splendidly lighted up with flambeaux and _tarbsrrels . Cologne was one blaze of light . When the steamer liad arrived opposite the town , at a _gireflsigflaltheroofof the cathedral was suddenly illuminated with many thousand torches , presenting a most splendid and extraordinary appearance when viewed from the river . In a raft moored in the centre ofthe stream , » grand pyrotechnical display took place , ending with a device , styled " Le Bouquet de la Reine D'Angleter _;* , " consisting of a thousand _M ckctssimultancouslv _discharged , _andlightingup the banks ofthe Rhine forsome miles on either side .

      T ? _Lf , E E _FATAi ; _COLLISION WTUE _LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY . Anj ocRSED Isquest os _theBobt op Mn : Charles Ueax . —On Monday forenoon this inquiry was r esumed . The jury , by a previous arrangement , assembled iu the first instance at the Euston station , where they were afforded an opportunity of inspecting the remains of the broken carnages and trucks _, fhe jury having answered to their names , proceeded in company with the coroner to view the spot where the accident occurred . They nest examined the signals at the bridge / and questioned the officer on duty as to the mode of working them under different circumstances . Subsequently they _proceeded to the month of the tunnel , where the same course ef

      examination of the officer on duty and inspection of the signal was adopted . Returning to the bridge a number of carriages and trucks were placed upon the line m tlic exact position of tliose to which the accident occurred , the rcsuit being that the jury were enabled very clearly to understand the manner in which the collision took place . On the return of thejury to tbe inquest room , Mr . John Thomas Griffiths said he was one of the house surgeons at University Hospital , and saw deceased immediately after his admission- On examination witness found that the left leg below thc knee was dreadfnllv lacerated and the bone much crushed . A consultation was _neid , and Mr . Liston having pronounced amputation necessary , the operation was performed

      bMrMory . ton four hours after admission . The deceased went on well for three or four days , but on Mondav last his countenance became anxious , the constitutional system began to weaken , and he gradually sank , and died on the morning of the 5 th instant . Witness had since , by direction of the coroner , made a / post morion examination of the bodv , which discovered extensive mortification ofthe muscles ofthe left leg , extending some distance up the thigh . Witness considered the immediate cause of death to have been exhaustion arising from excessive irritation of thc stump . The deceased had been a very free liver , and that might account for the accident having terminated fatally . Had the leg not been amputated he might not have lived twenty-four hours . Witnes _

      asked deceased no questions on the subject of th accident , because he felt it _necessary that he sboulde be kept as quiet as possible ; but he lieard him say on one occasion that when the collision occurred he was sitting in the carriage with Ins back to tbe engine , and that the shock forced liim forward against the opposite scat by which his knee was crushed . Witness did not hear Mr . Dean express any opinion on the subject of the accident . The Coroner : Have you any doubt that the injuries deceased sustained by the accident caused his death _?; Witness : None whatever . —John Halse was here introduced : He said , t am a police constable ( No . 95 ) , in the service of tke London and Birmingham Railway , and reside at No . 2 , Ferdinand-place ,

      Uampsteadroad . I was on duty at the " crossing hear Chalk Farm Bridge , on thc morning of the 29 th ult . I was there when thccollision between the trains took place , and was the first to run to the carriage in which Mr . Dean was . It was the third carriage from tlietcnder attached to the engine of the up train . I ddnot know the number of that engine . ( A gentleman connected with the company here stated that the engine was numbered 91 . 1 ' The spot where the collision took place was a short distance upon the London side of tbeClialk Farm Bridge . The carriages of the up train were upon _^ tbe rails when the accident occurred ; and a portion of the luggage trucks were upon the " crossing . " _^ Mr . Dean was taken out ofthe carriage about five minutes after the accident and conveyed

      upon a track tothe Euston station and thence to the hospital . Tho collision took place * about three minutes after five o ' clock . I had fears there would be an accident as soon as I saw the incoming train coming up . The fog was so thick at this time that I _couldnot see more than five or six yards before me . The incoming train is called the Liverpool and Lancashire mail . I was on duty at the " crossing , " and it was my duty to " shunt" the luggage trucks from the " sidings" on to the main line . I had been on duty about ten hours and a half when the accident occurred . _^ Directly after I first saw the engine of the _uptrainitsiruck the luggage train . The latter is called the first Birmingham train from London , and its proper time for starting is 4 . 15 a . m . It was three

      minutes past five when the collision took place / and the luggage train was crossing on tothe main line at the time . The train was not actually in motion , it bad been standing stiil about a minute . Thercwere two engines attached to tbe front of the luggage traiu , Nos . 88 and 00 . I believe there were as many as for ty-seven waggons in the luggage train . Three of them were struck by the up-train engine , the point where the latter came in contact being about the sixteenth or seventeenth truck from the tender . The names of tbe drivers of those engines were William Finch and George Grace . The luggage train was stopping at the moment ofthe collision , because we had four move waggons to attach to it . The luggage train was forty-eight minutes behind time in starting that morning ; butif the mail train had _notebmeuu when it did , in another minute tbe line would have been clear . I accountfor the delay in starting the train by the extra quantity of coods to bo conveved

      that morning . 1 have '' never known a train with a greater number of tracks ' start at its proper time . I have seen as many asforty-nine or . fifty waggons in one train . At this stage of the inquiry one of the jurors ( Mr . Gray ) was suddenly taken ill ,. and after some delay oneof the medical men in attendance entered the court ami gave it as his opinion that as the gentleman _wnslabouringundera severe attack of palpitation of the heart , arising from excitement , it would be very desirable to dispense with his services if the coroner could do so . Mr . Gray was ultimately led into court , and having expressed his inability to take any further part in the proceedings that day , the coroner at once determined to adjourn the inquiry , remarking that he thought very little time would be lost by such an arrangement , as tliey might then be able to obtain the evidence of several important witnesses who did not appear to be present on that occasion . Tho inquiry was then formally adjourned until Thursday .

      The Adjocrked Isqtost was resumed yesterday morning , at half-past nine o'clock , at the Orange Tree Tavern , George-street , New-road . The names of thc jury having been called over , it was found that all were present with the exception of-Mr . Grey , who still continued so much indisposed as to be unable to take part in the proceedings ; the coroner , accordingly , with the consent of thc jury , discharged him from his onerous office . A number of witnesses were then examined for whose evidence we cannot find room , but the reader will be able to form a pretty correct idea of what transpired from the coroner ' s summing up . At the conclusion of the examination of the witnesses , thcimjuio * was instituted to ascertain the causcofthe death of Mr . Chas . Dean , which took

      place , according to the evidence of Martha Herbert , the nurse in the University Hospital , on thc 5 th of August , seven _ilaysafcer tkcaccident , and thcrecould be no doubt that his death was caused in consequence of a collision between two trains on the London and Birmingham Railway . The coroner then summed up the evidence in a few but very comprehensive words , calling the attention of the jury to the leading points of the case . He then proceeded to take a view of the whole case , and observed that the company must be liable for any injury sustained by the accident * , but what the jury had to look at and ascertain was , whether those arrangements were made on that occasion which were calculated to avert accidents , and prevent thc sacrifice of human

      life . Now those statements they had heard were _vcry inmortaat , and they would weigh them carefully in their niinds , to ascertain the causes , andjudge who were the blameable parties . With reference to the mail-train coming before its usual time , no satisfactory information had been given . The guard had been called , who stated that lie . had no authority to stop the driver if ho was going too fast , his simple duty being to start the driver aud intimate on the road if there were any thing in danger . Ile thought there was something extraordinary in the arrangements of the line at tbe time ofthe accident . From the time table it appeared that the train three times during the month of July was earlier than its proper time by fifteen minutes , on one occasion by

      seventeen minutes , and on another by twelve . Ihen came the question , was that a breach ofthe defined and clearly understood regulations of arailway . The examination on that point had elicited what seemed to him a very curious state of affairs , because they could not discover that any of those men who came in earlier than their proper time , had ever been subjected to any fine , received any punishment , dismissal , or even been reported . From the practices he had pursued , Hunsworth ( the driver ) was not labouring under thc idea that he had been doing anything wrong incoming in earlier than his usual time . lie did not appear to he sensible of the offence he had committed . In fact , he seemed to fancy he was gaining favour in the sieht of his employer , and by thus

      coming in before his time , thought lie should be looked upon by them as a sharp ami active man . Uuder such an impression acting upon his mind , the wonder was , not that thc accident had happened , but that it bad not h appened before , and it waste him ( the coroner ) a miracle that they had escaped so long . That there had been _iiregnlanties , it was quite clear , but in those cases it was very difficult to find out who was the responsible person . l \ ow , the two partie 3 who were placed inthe most responsible position , with reference to any _^ criminal proceedings , were Hunsworth and Frost . It was impossible to do otherwise than to consider that

      they were the two acting masters of the occasion , one being the master over the mail traiD , and the other the master of the luggage train . He spoke with reference to their actual power at that time . It was theduty of Frost to see that the luggage train started from the station at a correct period , and he had been called upon to show why it had notbeen so . Hunsworth ought to have comeinto the station at twenty-two minutes past five o clock , instead of which he had arrived there at three minutes past , that beingnineteen minutes before Inscorrect time . Now it must be quite clear that , in either case , if the obligations which had been apparently _imposed upon these two men had been discharged , if each

      . Sebiocs Coujenr Acwdest.—An Accident O...

      had acted up to hisduty ; and no further _^ the accident would not have happened ; because if thcluggage train had left at au earlier period , it would have been out oi the way when the mail tram came in ; and if the mail train had come at a proper speed it would not have been in until after the _lugeage train had gone _, _consequently there appeared to be two causes in direct opposition to each other , which brought about that calamity His impression was that more time ought to be allowed far the making up ofthe luggage train lor he could not conceive what difference it could make to the interests ot anv partv , to receive their goods a mere ten minutes or ' even half an hour later , when all might be done without danger . But was it not extraordinary that Ihmswonhwith the

      , knowledge that the luggage train was so irregular as witnesses had described , should not have exercised more care in his coming through the tunnel . He would have been in ample time if he had allowed the trairf to crawl through ; and when he had got to the mouth of the tunnel , ' -having _pirceived that the fog was so thick that he could not see the red signal , he also thought it was . most extraordinary that on sueh a foggy morniug as thc 29 th of July , the policeman did not take more' caution , and stop the mail train before it reached the station _, lie ( the coroner ) considered the greatest danger must be apprehended from traius arriving too late , or too early , at the terminus ; and he trusted further precaution woald be takeu to ensure regularity . The to take all

      jury were these things into account and form tlieir verdict accordingly , De did think tliat all persons who employed men in such perilous duties , perilous not only to themselves , but also to' the public —thatit was impossible to be too precise in the directions they gave for the execution of tlieir ends . That a man ought to know plainly as he knows his alphabet , every duty he was to discharge , and a punishment ought to be inflicted for tlie neglect of that duty with tbe precision of military discipline . An overreaching of time without the party having suffered any penalty or inconvenience , had , he was afraid , led to this melancholy accident . — ihe jury retired at half-past three o ' clock to consider their verdict . After an absence of an hour and a quarter , they returned into the inquest room , and having answered to their names , the foreman handed in the _iollowmg written verdict : — " IVc find thc

      deceased , Charles Dean , died from an injury to his left leg , caused by an accidental collision of trains on the Loudon and Birminaham Railway , near to Camden Town ; aad that _theenjdne , numbered 90 , belonging to thc company of _thativulway _, moved to thc death ofthe deceased , and _thatits value was £ 1000 , and they make a _Duonixn on the said engine to thc extent of 0 . ve Thousaxd _I'ouxds . In delivering this verdict , the jury express their opinion , that the laws and regulations of the London and Birmingham Railway Company , for the guidance of their servants , have been carried out very inefficiently for some time past ; and further , tlic jury consider that the area of the Camden Town station , and the system of rails there laid down , arc too much cramped and limited , consistentl y with the public safety . " The jury having signed the inquisition , separated at a quarter past five o'clock .

      MURDER AT LEICESTER . _Leicester _Monuat . A murderof a most appalling character has occurred here this morning . A young man , about four or five aiid twenty , named William Hubbard , a framework knitter , had lived witli his wife for some time past in a small tenement leading outof what is called the Newarkly , occupying it jointly with his brother , who is also married . The matrimonial career of the former , though but of three years' duration , has , it is said , been most unhappy from its commencement . She is reported to have been a still , stead v , hardworking woman , and he , on the contrary , " to have been improvident and idle . They had been poorly off lor some time , and hewas determined to fall

      upon the union . This his wife resisted strenuously , declaring her intention of proceeding to Birmingham , where her mother and a sister reside , and there earn her own maintenance . This morning was fixed upon by her for her departure thence . About six o ' clock her husband , who , in consequence of their disagreements , had slept at his mother ' s over night , knocked at the door , desiring his wife tolet him in . She came down stairs , with but her night-clothes on , and had no sooner opened the door than a scream was beard , andthe brother and his wife , coming down on the instant , the unfortunate woman , ' the wife of William Hubbard , was found weltering in her blood , with a

      frightful gash in her throat ; indeed , she was only noticed fo give one deep sigh ere she expired . The murderer fled immediately down a lane leading to the Leicester Canal , along tlic towing path ofwhich be ran some hundred yards , and , crossing into a Mr . Stretton _' s field , hid himself in a dike , nearly covered with nettles and briars , where he was found in less than au hour _^ _^ afterwards , ; by soiiie lads , who , with a great number of neighbours and p 6 liccmeii , " iristantly sct _^ ff in ! search of him . ' . '' He made little or no ' resistance , biit expressed his sorrow for , what fie had done . He underwent " a brief / examination _! this ; _mbriiing before two * or three ofthe borough magistrates , aiid was remanded until Monday next .

      The IsQimsT . —The inquest on thc body of the unfortunate Hannah Hubbard , was held on Tuesday before Mr . John Gregory , coroner , at the Bowlinggreen Inn , - Oxford-street . _- - ¦ " ii' _.- ; : ; A very respectable jury was sworn , and they immediately proceeded to view the body ; it was not without some _difiicultj _* , however , that they reached the house where it lay , in consequence of the vast number of people who had assembled , and amongst whom , it is perhaps needless to state , one universal feeling of execration exists . The female portion of the crowd more especially appear to have become endued with an extraordinary spirit of revenge against the murderer . Their indignation at the bave supposition of the murderer ' s escaniiut on thenleaof in .

      sanity is almost without bounds . \ It was truly a learful sight where tho shocking deed was consummated . In the kitchen and on a chair were pools of blood , not dry _evenyet . The body of the hapless woman was laid upon the bed upstairs . Her throat showed a gash about three inches and a half long and two or three inches deep ; so deep , in fact , as to Jay thc vertebra of the neek quite bare . The windpipe was very nearly cut through , as were several important arteries . Her hair hung dishcveHed down her shoulders , and blood was scattered in horrid profusion over her hands , neck , and bosom , and upon the clothes she wore . On the return of thejury to the Bowliug-grecn , Jane Mitchell was called , who deposed as follows _.-

      —I am a single woman , and live next door but one to the deceased ' s brother-in-law , John Hubbard . 1 knew the deceased . Her liusbaud , William Hubbard , is a framework knitter . Deceased lived at John Hubbard ' s , and had one child living with her . lier husband came out ofthe Infirmary last Tuesday , and I think had not since lived with his wife . About six o ' clock on Monday morning Ihcard screams of " Murder , " and cries of " Help , " which appeared to proceedfrom Hubbard _' shouse . Iopenedmy window , and looking out , saw John Hubbard in the yard holding deceased , whilst ] blood was flowing from a wound in her throat . He had one hand against her chin , and the other on her forehead . John Hubbard ' s wife said , " For God's sake Jane , come down ; Bill ' s murdered Hannah , " She was in the yard in her night clothes , and John Hubbard , too was w > t dressed . 1 could not go down , I was so ill with the sight of

      blood ; and in about a quarter of aii hour I heard that deceased was dead . 1 saw William Hubbard about eight o ' clock on Sunday night last at the yard door , talking to his brother John . Deceased was to have gone by the two o _! clock train on Monday to her mother ' s at Birmingham . John Hubbard's wife told mc , that deceased thought she could maintain herself better there than at Leicester , as she could go out to service while her mother took care of her child . I was awake for some time previous to hearing the screams , but heard no noise or quarrellin ? before : Lad there been any , I think 1 should have heard it . Some of the furniture was sold one day last week , and taken away either on Thursday or Friday evening . Deceased was a very quiet , hardworking woman . She was 21 years of age , and made button-holes for flannel shirts . She worked for Mr . _Angrave , hosier , in Silver-street .

      By a Juror . —She never assigned any reason to mc for living apart from her husband . Elizabeth Bates called . —I reside next door to John Hubbard . I was awoke by cries of " Murder ] ' about six o ' clock on Monday morning , and on opening tho window saw John Hubbard supporting the deceased in thc yard . Her hair hung over her face , and she was bleeding very much from the throat . John said , "Bill , whatever havo you been doing ? " He then looked up , and seeing me , said , "For God ' s sake come and assist us . " I asked where Bill was , and John's wife replied that he was gone . I did not see William Hubbard that morning . I did not go down stairs , I was so much afraid . I saw William Hubbard in Bonner's-lane on Saturday , and on Friday at noon in the house ; John Hubbard and his wife were in their night clothes , and the deceased * ffas only partly dressed .

      Ann Chcstevtoti was next called . —I am a neighbour of John Hubbard ' and heard the first cry of "Murder" a few minutes before the six o'clock bell rang . The noise came as if from Hubbard ' s house . Hooked out of the window and saw John Hnbbavd holding the deceased . I at first thought it was William and called out " You rascal , what are you doing ? Are you throttling that poor woman V No answer was made , but John Hubbard ' s wife continued to cry out " Murder . " I then went down stairs to the door leading to John Hubbard ' s yard , when I saw

      the prisoner , William Hubbard , come from John Hubbard ' s kitchen , and turndown the entry to the left , towards the lane . He walked at a sharp pace . It was John Hubbard who was holding the deceased . I went into the" street , and called Mr . Orange , who was passing at the time , to assist .

The property of the deceased was sold on _Thiirsdat for 27 s . ] tw ;; s furniture given to her by her mother at her father ' s death . William Hubbard had a bed , and gave her 12 s . out of the 27 * . He knew sliu was going to Birmingham ; - and that the furniture was sold for that purpose . Deceased told nie on Sunday that her husband would not have her go . She appeared to be in great trouble about it . 1 don ' t know how it was that deceased did not live with her husband .

      By the Jury . —I did n » t see William Hubbard s face " , nor that he had the blood on his hands . James Orange corroborated the previous evidence , and raid—The deceased expired on tho chair iu thc house , while the two women , Chesterton and John Hubbard's wife , had gone upstairs to finish dressing . When he . 'first * went to the spot , Mrs . Hubbard was crying " Murder I" and he , witness , endeavoured to stop tho bleeding by wrapping a towel ' round the deceased ' s " throat . Witness asked who had done it , and was told by John's wife that William Hubbard had done it , and had run away . He then set oft for a doctor . Deceased had been dead five initiates when Mr . Ilighton came . _Ebzabeth _Hubbiird . wife of John Hubbard , deposed

      as follows - . —Tlic deceased was the wile of William Hubbard , my husband ' s brother , and had lived atomhouse for about eleven months . Her liusbaud lived with her till he went to the Infirmary , three weeks since . : It was said he was in a decline . " I don't know anything about any other complaint ho had . He came out on Tuesday , and remained with his wife until Thursday night , when he left . It was understood that the deceased should go to her friends for two months , until he got better . On Thursday night William Hubbard took the bed and bedding and three chairs to his mother ' s . The rest was sold , and the money divided . William Hubbard did not then appear to object to his wife ' s going . Ho was at our house several times in * the course of Friday , but nothing unpleasant took place . He came also on

      Saturday . His mother ' s house was about a hundred yards off . On Sunday morning he came in between nine and ten o'clock , and was frequently in the house until the afternoon , when deceased's brother , James Walton , ¦ cam , !/ and fetched her to go out to tea . Her husband went out with tliem . He did not _malie any remark , lie came in again about four o ' clock , and asked me whether the deceased was going by the waggon at six o ' clock that evening . She told him she-was not / for her clothes were not packed np . He appeared very uneasy , and said he should not like to part with his chilil , " or his wife cither , while he was so ill . He " said he had just heard she was going off , and asked me if I should like to leave my husband and child , and my _luiiband so ill as he was . I siiid she was

      only going for a few months , and he would be better then . Abontsix o ' clock Hubbard came in again , and whilst he was in the house , his wife came home and put the child to bed . She then went out with the young woman she had been drinking tea with . About nine o ' clock the deceased came home , and remained in conversation with the prisoner in the entry for about three-quarters of an hour . He appeared to be in his usual state , and bade us all good night . A little before six o ' clock on Monday morning I heard deceased go down stairs . She unbolted the kitchen door immediately , and I heard William Hubbard say something to her , but could not ' ssy what it . was . Deceased lighted the lire , and cleaned the kitchen up , and I heard them talking together during the time it occupied , but not in an angry tone . Their child cried , and William Hubbard came up to the top of [ the stairs . ; I then heard liim say , " She has dropped off to sleep" ( meaning the child } , and he

      went down again . He had not been down moro than tliree minutes before I heard a most dreadful noise , resembling a groan . I awoke my husband , and said , " John , whatever is the row . ? ' ' We both got out of bed directly and ran down stairs . In the kitchen 1 saw the deceased standing against an arm chair , but without support , bleeding very fast from tho throat . My husband ran up . to her and carried her out into the yard . William Hubbard was standing at the back of her in the corner , and had something in his hand , but what it was I cannot say . I did not see whether it wns bloody . I said to him , " Oh , Bill , what have you done ? " He said , "I intended todo it , if I got hung for it . " I then began to cry out " Murder , " -aa loud as I could , and saw no more of him . I could liot say which way he went . My husband continued to hold the deceased and cry out "Murder" also . Deceased never spoke after we went down stairs . '

      John Hubbard ,, the husband of the last witness , was then swornand corroborated in part his wife ' s evidence .- ; _-Hc said , i heard a scuffle before I went down stairs , and a noise as though some person was endeavouring to' speak , but could not . At therequest of my wife I went down stairs , and saw the deceased standing iu ' the middle of the floor , the blood running from her _neck .-I went and laid hold of her and said , < " Good Lord _; Ann , what is the matter with yon ?'' 'She did not appear to haye power to speak , and made no reply whatever . I did not see any one

      else in' the room ; . I curried the deceased into the yard _i and called out _^ . Murder . " Thc first person I saw was Robert Pratt , looking , over the wall ofthe yard , and'I beckoned him to assist . I was so flurried i cannot say whether I saw Jane Mitchell then or not . * ¦ •* . It was possible some other person might . bo in the room , but I was so > flustered I did not notice . 1 would not swear that no other person was in tho kitchen _.- _; I had not heard- my brother ' s voice that morning .- Other witnesses _lrei'e examined , and the jury returned , without hesitation , a verdict of "Wilful Murder against William Hubbard .

      ?; Lamentable OcounnBxcK . —Wc regret to state that a most lamentable occurrence took place between six and seven o ' clock on Sunday night , by whicli two young men , who are brothers , lost their lives in . the Clyde , 'filenames ofthe deceased are George and . Robert Lvnn—the former about _twenty-four years of age , who a fortnight since entered into employment at the " Barrow-Held Works as a bleacher , and the latter about sixteen or seventeen years . of age , who , we have been informed , was employed as a tailor in Paisley . The young men had mcton Sunday , and , unfortunately , had celebrated the meeting by drinking freely . In the course ef the evening , they proceeded to the Green , on their way , it is believed , to _Rutlierglen , when they were then so much

      intoxicated as to attract the notice of the officer on the Green , who requested them to pass on . They did so ; but it was observed that a quarrel took place between them as they went along , which was believed to be more in the way of "daffing , " than of real ill-nature *'' " At all events , the younger brother , Robert , either fell or was thrown down , and while tho other ' _was refreshing himself at the well , between the Upper Springboard and Allen ' s Pen on tlie Green , the former rushed past him , saying , " Farewell Geordie , " and phinced into tho river . The elder brother being apparently brought to his senses by thc frightful leap of the younger , sprung in after him , and the two were seen struggling for a timo in the water by two young women and others , who were attracted to the bank but had no means of lending them

      assistance . Kobert , however , disengaged himself , and succeeded in reaching the bank Of the Green , where he lay for a minute or so with his body partly iu aud partly out of the water . On turning round , he saw his brother ' s hands uplifted abovc the stream , imploring help , when he in turn rushed into him , and both sunk , completing this dire tragedy—the one brother perishing in his turn , as ifc were , to save the life of the other . Mr . Geddes , of the Humane Society's house , was promptly on the spot , and after a search of half an hour in the one instance , and a full hour inthe other , succeeded in recovering both bodies , which , after the usual attempts at re-animation had been made in vain , were conveyed to their friends . The youths , wc believe , are natives of Denny , where their father fills a respectable situation .

      Steam-boat Accident . —We regret exceedingly to state that a most serious accident , attended with fatal results , occurred on the Thames on Tuesday evening . It appears that the steamer Father Thames , on her voyage from Gravesend , made the Pool about ten o ' clock , with a great number of passengers , where , from some unavoidable cause , she came full on to a heavy barge , and with such force as to instantly carry away her paddle-box and side cabin , in which were several persons . It may be _readilj ; imagined that consternation and confusion arose immediately , the vessel being thrown on one side , and several persons in the water . Six p ersons were rescued from a waterv grave , but whether any or several are lost wc havo yet to learn . From the

      disabled state ot the vessel the passengers had tobe _kindedat Wapping from small boats .- ( From another Corrcspondent . ) -The Father Thames was so much crippled by thc collision , that she could not proceed to her destination , Hungerford Market ; and she was brought up off Wapping for the night . Wednesday morning the steamer was towed down to Blackwall for repairs . The wreck of her paddle-box , the deck cabin , and a quantity of gear were picked m by Inspector Webb . The barge sustained very little , if any , damage . It appeared to be deeply laden to within two or three inches of the water ' s edge . It was reported on the river that the bargemen were drowned , and that in the confusion three or four persons fell overboard from the steamer and were drowned ; but Mr . Creed mado _diliwnt ; nn < .: « nn _^

      found that no one had gone overboard besides the six persons m the deck cabin , who arc aU doing well . _^ Tite Suspicious Death i . v - Whit _eciupel . — On lhursday afternoon Mr . Baker entered upon an inquiry atthc London Hospital , relative to the death of a man about fifty yeara of age , whose name is supposed to be Michael Robert Edwards , and who was tound , on Wednesday morning last , between six and seven o clock , in a dry vault on the new line of street _leMhng from Spitalfields Church to nigh-street , Whiteehapel . The coroner , upon the jury being sworn , said that as a _jiost' mortem examination of the body of the deceased had not been made he-would hear what the . witnesses knew of the . circumstances attending the / deceased ' s death , when he would adjourn the inquiry ; * The' inquest was * adjourned to Monday at two o'clock .- _"

      Lamentable Accident . —Windsor , Tuesda y * --An accident of a most dreadful nature / which it is feared will prove fatal to one of the parties , occurred yesterday evening , between eight and nine o ' clock , to Mr .

Stacey was thrown with great force into thc road , sustaining very severe internal injuries . Mr . Cartland was discovered under the chaise , and in a most pitiable condition , the blood streaming from his head and face , and so disfigured tliat the persons ' who humanely went to his rescue , and who xvere his neighbours , were not aware until sonic time afterwards , when he wns enabled to speak , who itwas . lie was carried _to'thc Swan Hotel ,

      where he experienced every attention , aud five _surgeons were almost instantly in attendance . The injuries he received were of the mast painful and afflicting nature . In addition to two deep cuts on the forehead , four inches in length , the skin being torn away from thc skull and hanging over the eyes , his nose was completely flattened , and a deep wound ' extended from the left eye to the upper lip . His tongue was also nearly severed across the centre , supposed to nave been occasioned by its .

      Destruction of Richardson ' s _TiiEATm-:. —On Monday night , shortly before twelve o'clock , the . inhabitants of Hartford were thrown into some excitement by an alarm of fire . It was first stated tliat the cbtirch was in _llamcs , and on looking ill that direction nn extensive fire was seen raging .,, On proceeding thither , however , it was soon known that Richardson ' s theatre ( which had beeu erected at the rear , of the church ) was on lire , and the ilames spread with such rapidity that before any of thc fire-engines could be procured thc whole theatre was in flames . Tiie performance ' had fortunately concluded , and tho audience left about ten minutes before . The lire originated under ths centre -of the pit . Two ofthe waggons , in which some ' of the company slept , were saved , but the stage and all the theatrical property , with the booth , were . destroyed .

He _says _/ that during the whole of the previous , day the St . Vincent had been followed by a Biispicious looking brig . When morning came the

      schooner was discovered in company with thc brig . They parted , and the schooner bore down on the St . Vincent . There were only two men on the deck of the schooner , one at tho wheel and another with a telescope , but below she was crowded with men . She hoisted Spanish colours , as did the brig , which also bore down on the St . Vincent , The brig having spoken an Amcricnm man-of-war , whicli was in sight , the schooner lei ' s the St . Vincent , joined the brig , and tliey sailed off in company , the brig leading the way . The schooner was a low lialtimorc clipper , and had a piece of ordnance on her deck . She gave the latitude and longitude , chalked on a hoard , but she w . _t 3 at least 20 degrees out in her reckoning , so that , in all probability , she had no chronometer on board . — Sun .

      Aurkixg 1 ' _inr . is Oxford-street . — On Wednesday ' night , between the hours of eleven and twelve _, a fire of rather an alarming character broke out upon the premises belonging to Mr . James I \ unn , hosier aud silk mercer , situate at No . 217 , Oxfordstreet , near Portman-street . It originated ' in the front shop , a spacious compartment filled with costly articles , and owing : to tho comhustible nature of the stock the flames very speedily had obtained a firm hold , they having , in less than five minutes , communicated to each side ofthe shop aud the two windows , and they were ascending with great rapidity up tlte staircase and through the fanlight . The " firemen , however , were enabled to arrest thc further progress of the flames just * s they were entering the showrooms on the first floor . " Before , however , the fire was entirely extinguished , the principal portion ofthe costly stock in thc shop was destroyed and the building severely damaged . . The loss , at thc lowest calculation , must amount ( o several hundred pounds .

      The Brazilian Pirates . —It was expected that these unhappy men would have been executed this day ( Friday ) in front ofthe county gaol , and steps had already been taken by the proper authorities . On Monday morning , however , a communication from tho learned j udge who tried the prisoners was received by the high sheriff , respiting the execution of thc sentence until Friday , the 5 th September , This delay has been granted in order that the important legal questions which were raised by the learned counsel for thc prisoners , on the occasion ofthe trial , may __ undergo further consideration by the whole of the judges . Yesterday a communication was received from the authorities , announcing a further respite of the sentence until the 25 th of November , which will be the last day of Michaelmas Term , _during which the case will be considered . When the tidings of

      their respite were communicated to thc prisoners , they all received it with gratitude and delight / except the imperturbable Serva . This man ( the captain of thc Echo , a schooner of seventy tons only , with iSA slaves stowed and packed in it ) has stood alike unmoved by the terrors " of this world and the world to come . For three days , though smitten with a foul and loathsome disease , he underwent thc ordeal of the trial without manifesting the slightest sigh of uneasiness _, lie received the doom of death without emotion , and he has since rejected the consolations of religion and the holy offices of the priest with a cold and bitter sneer . He received unmoved the merciful declaration of the high sheriff ; and turned away with as much apathy as if thc message of prolonged life and rekindling hope had been thc most ordinary matter which a heedless man could impart to an indifferent one . —Exeter Gazette , August 0 .

      Execution or Ellison * at Bodmin . —Monday being the day appointed for the execution of Benjamin Ellison , for thc murder of Mrs . Seman , at Penzance , an immense body of people took up their places in the spacious grounds fronting the drop , at Bodmin , to witness the unfortunate convict's untimely end . On his leaving thc chapel , and where the sacrament was administered to him , on receiving which he appeared to lose , for an instant only , that firmness which he seems to have maintained throughout to an unusual degree , he was again taken to his cell , where he requested to be allowed to change his coat ( a blue frock which he wore on his trial ) , and asked fora black one , which was given him , and he put it on . He was then pinioned , and immediately after conducted from the cell to thc scaffold . He entered on thc drop in a firm manner , and for the next few minutes appeared to be earnestly engaged in

      prayer . The cap was then pulled over his lace , the executioner retired , ancl the drop fell . He for nearly five minutes showed no signs of life , but at the end of that time he struggled much , and lived after the drop fell nearly eight minutes . Ellison made no confession , nor did he address a single word to the multitude . The firmness and indifference to lus awiul situation continued until Wednesday Jast , up to which time he had buoyed himself up with a hope oi a reprieve , neither acknowledging npr denying his guilt . He was a tall man , six feet high , a native ofa parish near Leeds , in the West Hiding ol Yorkshire . He has left a wife and family to lament his untimely and disgraceful end . In consequence of . disagreements on pecuniary matters he left his wife and home about six years since , and had hot been heard of by them until after his committal to gaol on the charge of murder .

Mr . Hudson ' s party approached thc hustings for the purpose of dividing Colonel Thompson ' s forces , and ot _interrupting the Colonel ' s proposer , while addressing the multitude . The splendid banner they carried was thrown to thc ground in a moment , and in a short space of lime torn to ribands ; the poles were broken and laid over the ' shoulders of the bearers of them . Mr . Hudson ' s party , ' tho first thing at the hustings to-day , commcuccd the battle of the arm , and they have surely been worsted . One or two of Hudson ' s bullies have been taken into custody . The crowd assembled before thc hustings is numerous . From tho Bridge Hotel down to the George ( tlic space of nearly a quarter of a mile ) is one dense

      mass . Cotton balls are now flying about in tlic crowd . The cotton balls arc emblematical of anaifnir oi honour that took place between two distinguished gentlemen on Whitbournc Sands . Joshua Wilson , Esq ., proposed Colonel Thompson , and John Hills , Esq ., seconded the nomination . So strong . is popular i ' eding in favour , of the Colonel , that by no possible mcaiw can Mr . IludsouV hired friends ( and he has a good number of them ) maintain their place in front of the hustings . J . Wright , Esq ., is now addressing the people , but not one word , I am sure , can be heard ivt three pates distance .

      ltichard Spoor , Esq ., now attempts the same impossibility . I firmly believe popular feeling has never been so strongly evinced in favour of any man living as it has been in favour of Colonel Thompson at the present election . Colonel Thompson now rose , and said : "Electors , —l ' ou have used the popular candidate very ill ; but it is no fault of mine , lie might have waited a little Jongcr , and seen how popular feeling was . There has been a thousand pounds offered tooue ofmy leading committee-men to let us be in a minority " for the first two hours—not by the Tories , but by railway speculators . Is this not for the purpose of robbing the purchasers of railway shares ? " The Colonel Spoke only a i ' uw minutes , ' and was attentively listened to . Mr . Hudson attempted to speak , but not a word could bo heard .

      The show ot hands has been taken , and is in the proportion of a hundred to one in favour of the Colonel .
