That morning she came down stairs before breakfast , and went abnut her usual

      work . She took her breakfast and went upstairs to her daily work . Nothing unusual had been observed in her personal appearance .

The child is a boy , about five or six years of age . Rowe is a shoemaker by trade , and the poor boy was by his first wife . The neighbours , it appears , have long noticed that tbe mother-in-law treated the child with great brutality , shutting it in a privy , and jamming its head in the doorway ; bat it appears the proximate cause of death was a want of nourishment . The woman has two children of her own , which she does not appear to have ill-used Rowe ' s house is now guarded by the police , to keep off the mob . What makes the mob more than usually indignant it appears , is the fact that both Rowe and his wife have professed to be religious people .

      two , by hydrogen—were exhibited , models of several stoves , and of a bath , by which , as the company were informed by Dr . Baihhoffner while that gentleman w-ib proposing the health of the chairman , any one could be hup . plied in six minutes with forty-five gallons of water heated to ninety-five or even 110 degrees cutirdy by giis , and at a cost of three-halfpence . Tht- % the Dootor thought all would iigree , looking at the expense and trouble at present attendin » the procuration of a warm bath in London , was an ap . plication of vast public utility . Dr . Bachhnffner further stilted , that Mr . Defries and himself—for tln-y were now in partner . < hip-would in a few weeks be enabled to hnng before ttte public a substantial and well organised company for furthering the application of gas to all purposes now answered by coal fires ; in doing this they confidently

      jooKed for the support or the gas titters , ott whose to-operatiOn much must depend , and who would in common with the public and the pitentees reap ample benefit from tho application . —Mr , Defriea , in returning thanks , stated among other things , that he had just complete *! the fitting up of the kitchens , 4 c , of the Houses of Parliament ; , where in future cooking , washing , drying , and all similar processes , would be carried on through the sole agancy of gas . This adoption by parli tment of the novel use of gas bad already led to many , and would necessarily lead to many more , orders . The Cdffe-strebt Savings Bank —On Tuesday a

      deDutation , consisting of several members of the House of Commons , waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer , at Downing street ., to make the right hon . pentlem » n n proposition on behalf of the depositors who suffered in the bankruptcy of the Cuff-street Savings Bank , in Dunlin . Mr Reynolds observed that , referring to the recent V 0 I 6 of the House of Commons , on the subject of the Cuffe-street Savings Bank , he was not prepared to accept it as a general settlement of the question , and that considering the tone ot the debate , and th * it upon that occasion he had the support of the majority of the Irish members now in Enjjlnnd , in addition to that of Mr . Ilumeand many other influential members , he still entertained the hope that her Mtiiestv ' s

      government would reconsider the case of the 2 000 uufortunate persons in Duhlin , who in their old age hud been deprived of the means of existence by the dishonest practices of the managers of this bank . The deputatton concluded by begging of the riant hon . gentleman to allow the case to be tried in a court of law ; as , by compliance with thia request , a ques-ion would be finally set at rest which was now regarded by hundreds of her M :. jesty ' u subjects with the most intense anxiety * The deputation did not wish to press the government to a hasty decision , but they threw out the suggestion in the hope that th « government would

      ENROLMENT OF THE MILITIA . A public mentingof the inhabitants of Mile-end , Stepney &c , tonk place on Wednesday evening , March tin * 31 > t , nt the B"s » utnotit Institution , for the purpose of pro * tesf . ini ; against the proposed embodiment of the militia . —Mr . John Scoble presided . He ohs- rveil that the subject was scarcfily second in importance to any that could lie discussed . Nearly forty years ha-l elapsed since the last war , and in the interval there hail been spvnral attempts to create a miiitia force , but the public had always protested airainst it , nnd no government had been strong enough to carry it . ( Hear , hear . ) A militia ot 80 , 000 wouM entail an annual pxpense on the country of from £ 300 000 to £ 400 000 , But he objected less to the cost tlinn to ttic principle of compulsion . It was snid thu force would only

      he called up for drill for twenty-one dnys in tl » e year ; but the government reserved tho right , of imposing any other duty upon them , either of suppres-ina popular tiunulis , or driving nny enemy into these . i . They would , in f « c % lie » n tirmy of reserve ; nnd the country might well inqum > whore was the necessity fur it ? ( Hear , hear . ) Her Majesty was made tn assure the parliament that our foreign relations were mnstnmicible . There was no enemy in the hVM , nor any 1 kely < o appear . Continental depots , from Russia to Franco , had enough to do to maintai n their own position . The President of France dared not send his avmy away from Paris ; wero he to attempt to invade thi « country , it would be his downfall . ( Cheers . ) The popular f elinj ; of the two nation * was in favour of peace , ( lleiir . ) We hf » d at present 180 . 000 m ° n under arm * , in the pay of this country .

      Of these , 45 . 000 were in the colonies ; but there were 50 . 0 U 0 soldiers randy to he moved at any time to any p 'i't of the country . We had besides , tin * oVcli-yi'i'd baitalions , the yeomanry , and the polii-e , in all between 230 , 000 and 240 , 000 men , the greater portion of * hnrn cnul'i be brought into nlsiy at any time . We had an immense n ivy—not less than 100 armed vessels , manned by 30 , 000 men . Wimt then could we want with a militia force ? ( Hear , hear . ) The fact was . the government had lately found it extremely riifficuH , Offing to the prngwss of education ainoiiL' the working classes , to gain recruits for the army ; and their object was to make this militia a kind of depot , from which to fill up the ranks of the army . ( Hear , hear . ) The moral effect of this would be most , pernicious , by spreading intemperance among the people generally ; for every one

      knew the demoralising effect of barrack life . Soldiers were slaves tn the proper gense of the term : they renounced their manhrod , and became mere machines , ( Iletir , hear . ) The Reverend Mr . Fishbourne moved a resolution declaring that the meeting had observed with unfeigned satisfaction thp emphatic assurance given in the royal speech , that her Mivj » sty continued to maintain the most friendly relations with foreism powers , and rewarded with surprise and regret the proposals made to increase the armaments , and especially to enrol the militia as » pennanmt force to the numierof 80 , 000 men , calculated t « encourage vague nnd unfounded apprehensions at homn , and to create irritation and distrust amon ? neighbouring nations . — Mr . Cheshnm seconded the resolution , which was unanimously agreed to . —The Reverend Henry R cfi . nds , secre . tary of the Peace Society , moved 'he second resolution ,

      ( leelnr ng that , the present Militia Bill of the government was open to nil the objections which lay against former measures , seeing that it retained the principle of a compulsory ballot , with all its hardship nn : injustice , while it had features of its own still more obnoxious , ex ' ending the liability to serve to all males from eighteen to thirty-five years of age , virtually putting the foreo under the command of half puy officers of t . lie arny . nn << involving nn expense of prohablv not , loss than a million and a half in five years . While , so far as it « volunteer character might operate successfully , it nou'd he i . h" mpfins of bringing together tho worst and most dt-moralised part of the population , to the serious detriment < if the community » nv > ng whom they might , he assembled for exercise . ( Hear . )—A petition to the House of Commons , founded on the foregoing resolutions , was nrlopted , nnd directed to hn forwarded for presentation to one of the members for the Tower Hamlets .

Mann in the chair . Mr . Luxh having read the minutes of the last meeting . M <\ Coppock appeared on behalf of the promoters of the equalisation of the land-tax of the Holborn division , and observed that that part of the Middlesex assessment which apoeared to press most unequall y was assessed upon the parishes that were least wealthy ; while tho populous and wealthv paii'h of Manlehone complained that they had to pay the enormous sum of less than a farthing ' nine ponnd- («« No , no , from the iMarylebon i ansJ-the parish of St .

      Maryl-hone tn have paid the full farthing . For twenty-five years the inequalities ha < i passed unobserved ; and when at list an appeal was made from Mr . John Wood , chairman of the Inland Revenu- , to the Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir Charles Wood , they were met h y the letter of Mr Keoph , the solicitor . ( Here Mr . Coppock read extracts trora the letter . ) London paid about Is . in the . pound , on an average , to thfi tax ; Liverpool ahniit one . pi » ht of a farthing , and Manchester ahout one farthing ; whj ' e other divisions paid Iljl . in the pound towards the tax . In 1849 the rjcht hmi . gentleman now holding the post o ' ' Chancel ' lor ot the Exchequer delivered a spepoh nt Aylesbury in which he express ^ his belief that afior due consideration their endeavours to obtain their just , rights would succeed for the richt hnn . gentleman show . d that the county of Buefapaid K 5 il . in the pound , while other c ^ nties far nv . re wealthy , paid infinitely less . The opinions of ' the present Attorney and Solicitor-General pointer ! in theaame direction . Doubts had been thrown out whether the law

      was with the iqualisers ; hut how could there be a doubt after the denis'on in the case of Bradley Flaveistoe , and after what . Lord Campbell and the other ' judges had said in that case ?

      vas continue his visits . But it would be proved by the servants and others , that not only before buf after this period , the defendant and the plaintiff ' s wifewra m the habit of meeting each other ; that he came , info absence of the plaintiff , and remained in the parlour 2 Mrs Harding for two or three hours at a time orden being given to the servants only to come in when the be rung , and to knock before opening the door . On these o casions , tho blinds of the rooom were drawn down even tn the north , where the sun never came on the windows Z

      by adverse verdict to hurl into everlastino shaira : : ^ two persons to whom that sentence would be more deta i « twe than even death itself ; and it was urged that tha '¦ ^ plaintiff had been compelled to come before a jury for a re- ' 1 oress of hia wrongs and the vindication of his iniurti I honour ; but they would not be led away byV ; | quali&ed assertions or ad caplandwn conclusions , m M though coming from her Majesty ' s Attorney .
