I shall now me at the county's expense." No refreshment being immediately ready, he threw himself on the bed.

We hear, and sincerely regret it, that he has declined the attendance of toe worthy Chaplain. He has admitted Uiat tbe Jury had no alternative but to find him guilty as the case was put before them. And now what can we say in reference to the arriving suf-fererers from his murderous assaults Of Mrs. Jenny, toe wife of toe murdered grandson of Rush's early patron, of her who still lies on the bed of pain and sickness, her person mutilated, her nervous system shattered, and her health destroyed?

The further discussion on toe bUl is appointed to take place next week. After stating in toe preamble clause that "it is expedient, for toe greater improvement of land, and for tbe consequent increase of produce therefrom that persons having limited estates therein should be enabled to enter into agreements, binding their successors, entitling tfie occupiers, thereof, at tbe termination of their tenancy toeotnpenaation for the execution of certain improvements 'it then go" on 40 eac- the owner of any farm in England or wales may enter into agree, ments entitling the tenant thereof, bis. executors and assigns, on the termination of his tenancv to receive from the incoming tenant, on behalf of the landlord', compensation for any outlay effectually incurred after toe passing of this Act 1.

In toe durable improvement of the farm by draining, marling, chalking, claying, or otherwise amending toe soil of toe same, or by works of irrigation, or by the construction of new fences. "The said compensation to he estimated as follows first, by ascertaining the cost of such improvements, then by determining the several periods within which every such kind of improvement may be expected to reimburse a tenant for such an outlay, and distributing toe cost over such periods respectively, not exceeding twelve years, and then determining what is due to the tenant, if anything, by deducting from such periods the time during which toe tenant shall have bad the benefit of such improvements respectively; provided always that the expenses incurred in the ordinary course of good and clean husbandry, or in pursuance of any special contract other than the special agreement hereinafter provided for, or which tbe landlord or tenant shall have agreed to share, shall not be reckoned as expenses of improvements fo which the tenant is to be compensated under toe provisions of this Act" The second clause, which refers to previous notice of improvements required in certain cases, enacts That no tenant, except a tenant for a term of years having more dian Jive years to run of bis holding, shall be entitled to claim compensation for any of tbe above-mentioned durable improvements, unless a statement in writing of the work to be done, and tbe estimated cost thereof, shall be furnished beforehand to the landlord or his agent, and the same be agreed to nor shall any tenant be entitled to compensation for any improvement if executed after he shall have received notice to quit, or shall be in the last year of his holding, unless with toe consent in writing of the landlord." The third clause refers to compensation for drainage, irrigation, and provides That no tenant shall be entitled to compensation in respect of drainage, irrigation, or fencing, when the same shall not be in good repair at the termination of his tenancy, unless allowed by valuers. Claims for compensation to be made five months before toe determination of the tenancy; or in case of death, bankruptcy, then within one calendar month. HOLLAND. The Hague, April 7.

The solemn interment of His late Majesty, William took place at Delft on the 4th. The cortege' set out in the morning from Rotterdam. The coffin was covered with a black velvet palL on which was inscribed in letters of silver- Hasselt, Louvaine, Salamanca, Vittoria, Nivelles, Pyrenees, Quatre Bras, Waterloo, Fuentes d'Onor, Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz, Arassils. On the coffin were placed the epaulettes, the sabre, and the scarf which His Majestv wore on solemn occasions. When these insignia were removed from the coffin the King placed it upon a cbaplet of laurels, saying these words In the name of the Royal House, and of the people of the Netherlands, I place this crown upon the coffin of my excellent father, iu whose steps I hope to tread." His Majesty then embraced his uncle.

Prince Frederick, and his brother. Prince Henry. The ceremony was concluded according to the programme, and was not over till half past eleven o'clock. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and the Princess Sophia visited the Royal tomb at half-past one. It is said that the solemn inauguration of His Majesty will take place at Amsterdam on the 8th of May next HUNGARY.

The Vienna Jonmal, Die Pressr, contains a positive contradiction of the rumours of General Bern's defeat by the Russians and the flight of his troops into Wallachia. It appears on the contrary that the Austrian General Puchner, surrounded by a hostile population and hard pressed by tbe Magyar irregular forces, has thought proper to resign his command, and place himself under the protection of the Russians in Wallachia. He was accompanied by three other Austrian Generals, and his troops were left to the care of General Kalliaui. General Bern was almost undisturbed in the possession of the whole of Tran sylvAiiitt, and preparing to take Kronstadt the last city in that kingdom which is still held by hie Austriau and Russian troops. General Dembinski has led his troops across the Danube, aud threatens the city of Weissenberg.

WEST INDIES The Royal mail steamer Clyde, Captain Moss, arrived at Southampton on Sunday ni'ht, with the usual West Indian and Pacific mails. The intelligence is of considerable consequence. From Jamaica we learn a most important measure of reform was being agitated. Tbe city of Kingston had taken tbe initiative iu advocating the propriety of applying to Her Majesty, praying her to grant the island a Constitution similar to that of Canada and the other North American provinces. Very large and influential meetings had been held on the subject The Legislature of the island had been prorogued to the 24ih of March.

The island was healthy, and the weather delightfully cool. The Jamaica markets remained dull. Sugar was rather better in price, in consequence of the home advices. On the -5th of March there was an insurrectionary riot in St. Lucia.

TUe Governor and Council were temporarily besieged in the Council-chamber. The police and special constables being ineffective to suppress the riot the troops were called out The insurgents then attacked the military with stones, who, after the special constables had retreated, fired on the mob and dispersed the disaffected blacks. A great many arrests were made, and order quickly restored. There had not been any fresh coses of yellow fever at Bar-badoes for 1(5 days. The weather was highly favourable in all the West Indian islands.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Cape of Good Hope papers of the 7th of February have been received. The colony contiuued peaceful, and the Kaffirs seem have set themselves to agricultural labour with much energy, which has produced comineusurate results. Some of the native chiefs beyond the Orange River have fields of grain well cultivated, and carefully inclosed. Markets for agricultural produce have been opened iu them.

Dr. Crolly was a warm supporter of the National system of education, and, indeed, of every measure which tended to toe progress of enlightenment He was one of tbe Commissioners of Charitable Bequests, and in accepting that office, in conjunction with Drs. Murray and Denvir, incurred a large share of odium, from which, however, he never shrank, notwitostandmg that the opposition against him was led by the late Mr. Cowiellin person. He was about 70 years of age, but from active habits and strong constitution looked to be much leas advanced in age.

The Select Committee of the House of Lords on the operation of the Irish Poor law have passed resolutions against tbe rate in -aid scheme. The following are toe most important of the series The inadequacy of the general rate for the purposes of relief is clearly proved in the papers laid before Parliament, and in the evidence taken before Uie committee. It is not suggested by any witness examined that the amount of destitution wUl be less, or Uie amount of rate that can be collected will be greater, in the more distressed districts in 1849, than it has been in 1848 on the contrary, it may be justly apprehended that the pauperism will be increased, whilst the value of rateable property is diminished. The maximum produce of the 24 per cent, rate cannot, even if collected over the wbole of Ireland, amount to 3.30,000. In 21 unions, the statistics of which are given in detail, the total expenditure for the last vearhas exceeded whilst toe rate collected was below 200,000 Urns showing a deficit of 259,000.

If to the latter amount is added the net debt of 128,000 due in September 1848, the lowest sum that will be required for these 21 unions, beyond their own local resources, will exceed the whole produce of toe general rate -in-aid, assuming the entire success of its collection throughout all Ireland, and assuming further that no district other man the 21 unions named will require assistance. xhe imposition of an income-tax upon Ireland would afford better security for the repayment of any temporary advances which it mav be necessary to make for the relief of the destitute poor, and" for other measures for improving their condition and other resources for toe same purposes might be found by the repayment of the loans advanced for the erection of tbe union workhouses."

Your Enemy. A Tb alee Bot." Gaixaxt Actios. On toe 24th of last month Edward Galloway, a sailor, on board Her Majesty's ship Ganges, lying at the Cove of Cork, fell from toe rigging into the sea. The accident was seeu by Lieutenant Oliver J. Jones, First-Lieut of Uie Ganges, who ordered the life-buoy and ropes to be thrown to him, hut perceiving that the man, stunned by the fall and unable to avail himself of the buoy, had sunk, Lieut Jones jumped overboard, dived after him, brought him up insensible, and then held him till further assistance was obtained, and the man's life saved.

Distressed Condition of the Irish Clergy. The last number of the JrisA Ecclesiastical Journal contains an article on the distressed condition of the Irish Clergy, who, as the writer says, have for the last three years passed through trials scarcely credible in Christian country, and in Uie nineteenth century." The following instances are given An exemplary clergyman, of 20 years' standing, in the north-west of Ireland, with a wife and nine children, was barely able to meet the most moderate expenses previously to 1840, and since then has been nearly beggared, his sons being forced to become labourers for Uie common rate of payment 2.

La liberie a Bonapartist journal, confirms a report current in Paris that 'at a Cabinet Council held at the Elvsee National ii was resolved to protest against the acceptance of the Imperial Crown rfGennany by the King of Prussia, and that instructions to that effect had been forwarded to the French Minister at Berlin.

Toe journal Le Peuple was seized on Tuesday for asserting that the President of the Republic bad contracted money obligations which hampered his will and his political idea. The French Government has been officially informed that the Chevalier Brack, Austrian Minister of Commerce, has been deputed by his Govemmeut to negotiate a treaty of peace with the King of Sardinia. He set out from Vienna on the 2nd inst. for Verona, where the negotiations are to be conducted. A woman, named Jeanne Deroin, is a candidate for the French Legislative Assembly, and has published the following address to the electors of the Seine Citizens, 1 present myself to your suffrages by devotedness to the consecration of a great principle tLe civil and political equality of the two sexes.

It is in the name of justice that I make an appeal to the sovereign people against the negatiou of principles which are the basis of our social future. If, exercising your right, yon call a woman to take part in the labours of the Legislative Assembly, you will consecrate in all their integrity our Republican dogmas liberty, equality, fraternity, for women as well as men. A Legislative Assembly entirely com posed of men is as incompetent to make the laws which govern our society, composed of men and woiueu, as would be an assembly composed of privileged persons to discuss the interests of workmen, or an assembly composed, of capitalists to support the honour of the country. JK4KKE Deiioin, Directress of the Journal Opinion des emmet," ITALY. An insurrection at Genoa placed that city for some time entirely in the hands of the mob.

On toe2nd. after a murderous combat, which lasted several hours, the Piednioutese General de Azarta, who had the command of the garrison, was obliged to capitulate. The lives of the troops were spared, and the whole of the men were allowed to quit thp place with then-arms and with all the honours of war. Lord Hardwicke is spoken of with praise, by the Genoa papers, as having contributed in obtaining favourable terms for the troops, aud having prevented the horrors and excesses which might be expected as the consequence of the popular triumph. A telegraphic despatch has been received by the French Government announcing that General De la Marmora took possession of the town of Genoa on the lith at six o'clobk in the evening, after a combat in die streets.

The chiefs of the insurrection had taken refuge on board toe French and English shins. The Werner Zeitung of the 4th, contains the conditions of the armistice bpfween his Majesty the King of Sardinia and Field Marshal Radetzky, dated Verona, March '-i6, 1849, and countersigned by Victor Emanuel Chrzauowski, Major-Geue-ral of the Corps. The principal of these conditions are that the King of Sardinia accords, duriug the term of the armistice, the military occupation of the country between the Po, the Se-sia, the Te'ssino, and the half of Alessandria, by men infantry, and cavalry, Austrian troops; the King of Sardi-dia will order the speedy evacuation of the whole of the territory of Piacenza, Modena, on the right bank of the Po, the grand Duchy of Tuscany, aud all the territories not incorporated with Sardinia previously to the war. The King of Sardinia, in proof of his sincerity to close an amnesty with the Emperor of Austria, will, witb all speed, reduce his army to a footing of peace. The prisoners of war on both sides are to be delivered up.

The Imperial troops will at once set out, mid those who have already marched beyond Sesia will return for its military occupation.

THE 10th OF APRIL 1848 AND 1849. (From the Times of Tuesday.) This day last TMr citizens of London -awoke to see the ordinary business of life suspended, their streets swarming with an extemporized constabulary, their public buildings fortified and garrisoned, and all around them wearing toe aspect of a perilous and uncertain crisis. In toe squares and on the bridges were massed large bodies of police, while vigilant detachments nau-olled the thoroughfares or occupied the central stations. aud magistrates sate in permanence to maintain toe vigour of the law.

Nor was this all, for even the strength of toe law itself was distrusted, and though toe prudence of our rulers removed from sight the instruments of final appeal, yet it was well knowu that bayonets brisded within the walls of dwelling-houses, and toot uie gates of more than one sileut courtyard marked frowning batteries of cannon. At a short thirty miles' distance, on toe other side the Channel, lay a nation writhing aud tossing in the paroxysms of revolutionary fever, disseminating in all directions the rank contagion of its malady, and imposing on Governments as yet uninfected Uie necessities of a timorous precaution. This present morning happily finds us in unshaken prosperity aUAj peace. Our streets echo to no noise but the harmless din of commerce onr ornamental edifices have not been burnt, nor oar warehouses pdlaged oar citizens have not beeu metamorphosed into hybrid soldiers, nor are we stunned wito the unbeseeming summons of a rappel, or mocked with toe fripperies of a civic review. What is a still more abundant source of thankfulness is that these blessings have not been purchased at Uie terrible cost of intestine war.

The victory of order was won without a stniggle. There are no stains to be obliterated, and no losses to be repaired. The good sense of toe English people prohibited eveu a memorial of toe crisis at which public order seemed for a wlule suspended, and it was resolved Uiat no material monument however useful should perpetuate Uie jrenerative elements of discord and ruin. As there were none of toe perils of conflict, so there was none of the vindictiveness of conquest. The lUto of April has left no reverses to be compensated, and no victims to be avenged.

Our political passages of arms are carried ou within toe same limits of order and wito the same measured punctiliousness as before. Our lives and properties are stijl ia the keeping of the civil power, nor do we depend for our safety from day to day on toe battalions of Chatham or the artillery of Woolwich. To crown all, our vac cination of the 10th of April gave us so complete au immunity from toe revolutionary epidemic that we con now disport ourselves in the very focus of contagion, and some scores of Uie good citizens of Lonbon who ou this day last year were marshalled with swords and staves to Uie terror of alien propagandists are at this moment receiving toe polite greetings of Frenchmen and gazing on the historical palaces of Paris. Commissionership of thk Ioman Isles. We hear that Mr.

Weekly Chronicle. Maunday Thursday. These ancient and royal charities were on Thursday distributed to 30 aged men aud women, with toe usual formalities, in Whitehall Chapel.

Amongst the recipients of the royal alms was an old man, decorated wito a war medal for tbe capture of Ouadaloupe, aud a sharp action on board toe Sea-Lark. Ou Monday and Tuesday her Majesty's Royal Bounties were distributed at Whitehall to the customary number of poor aged persons, including several cases of blindness and other infirmities. Also Uie Royal Gate Alms to a limited number of recipieuts. Lieutenant-Colonel Jebb, R.E., surveyor of prisons Captain D. O'Brien, inspector of prisons and Mr.

Woules, superintendent of the hulks, have been appointed a board of superintendence of die Government prisons and the hulks. Mr. Roebuck has been invited to represent Sheffield. A long letter containing his political creed was read on Saturday, at a meeting of his supporters, in the course of which he says I am myself a member of the Church of England. I was educated as a member of the Established Church and after a careful consideration I have seen no reason to leave toe fellowship of my childhood aud youth.

But this determination haa been formed after consideration, and is the result of my own will, utterly independent of that of any other man. What, then, I have demanded for myself tbe right that I have vindicated in my own person demand for all others. I insist upon religious as well as eivil liberty. If my mind be enthralled by arbitrary will, and not led by the suasion of reason, I am more a slave than if you put my body into chain. While I demand for all this freedom, which I have exercised myself, I proceed yet further.

I hold every coercion on thid subject impolitic, as well as unjust. You may compel to outward observance, and to false declarations you may create hypocrisy and discontent; but at word of command you cannot make men believe. With this view, therefore, I am led to deprecate, on all proper occasions, every attempt to make establishments which exist for the purpose of promoting any peculiar religious opinion Suite Establishments. In a country like our's, of complicated relations, of long established habits and opinions, I cannot expect that my opinions on such a subject should be immediately acceded to; and I am not prone to feel hurt or to take offence when I find men differ from me concerning it. But thongh we cannot change at once what has been long established, we can far more easdy prevent new steps in a wrong direction and, therefore, to any extension of such religious establishments I shall direct unceasing opposition." There is at present no appearance of any opposition to his election.

An Ancient Well. A short time since, in ploughing a field adjoining the ancient baronial hall of Nicholas de Mansion (a man of great eminence in toe reign of King John, in 1444). now known as Manston Court, in the Isle of Thonet, the ploughshare caught against a large stone, which, cn being removed, disclosed the mouth of a deep well. Near the top there were a few successive rows of rudely hewn stone, and below tbe sides were steamed through toe chalk witb great skill and eare, exhibiting the handiwork of a clever mason. The well was of the depth of about 120 yards, and had 12 feet water It The site was originally a wood, torn tbe distance or toe well to toe house, it was of no service io toe inhabitants, and this old long bidden spring was filled up wito chalk to prevent future accident.

Advantages op Railways in a Military Point of View. Mr. Cobden mentioned in the House of Commons on a recent occasion that General Gordon had suited officially, in 1844, that 1,000 men could be sent from London to Manchester in 9 hours by railway, and wonld arrive there as fresh as when tbey started whereas, before the introduction of railways, they would have taken 17 days for toe journey, and would have arrived fatigued and exhausted.

A savage and probably fatal outrage has been perpetrated at toe Earl of Darlington's shite quarries near Ulverston. Woodend, an old man. and four others, on leaving work, were going down an inclined tnunel.

John Johnson threatened that if they went away at that time he wonld start a waggon into toe tunnel after them; toe men went on their way, and Johnson executed his threat The men, all but Woodend, beard the waggon dashing alter them, and exerted themselves to toe utmost to avoid death one got into a recess, and toe waggon brushed him as it passed the other three rushed out of toe tunnel just in time to throw themselves ou the bank as it thundered past But poor old Woodend was knocked down, the waggon went over him, and, though not killed, he was terribly bruised and torn. The ruffian Johnson is in custody. Appalling Murder and Suicide. On Thursday the town of Leicester was thrown into considerable excitement by a report that a woman had murdered her child and afterwards committed snicide. 1 1 seems, that a man named Grace lives iu Simpson Street, and has two children.

He is a framework-knitter, and in the morning of Thursday he went to breakfast, and on his retnrn found the door fastened. Upon entering the bed-chamber a razor was found on the floor, and the poor child, only three months old, had its head nearly severed from its body. The unhappy woman had also made on attempt upon her own life, aud au awful gash waa indicted in the throat she died in an hour afterwards. The floor was literally a pool of blood Uie child lay ou a box with its head nearly severed from its body: and the wretched woman (who had lust expired) on the bed. A more dreadful spectacle could not be imagined.

As to tbe cause which led to the per-petrat ion of this dreadful deed, no satisfactory intelligence could be obtained indeed all that die neighbours seemed to know was that toe deceased woman was labouring under an impression that they should starve. On toe other hand, it was stated that the husband was now in work anil, moreover, there wa3 nothing indicative in the appearance of the body of the deceased's having been nailer the pressure of want An inquest was held on Saturday, when tbe Jury returned a verdict of Lunacy" in the case of the mother, and a verdict of Found dead" in that of toe child.

Lastly, what "of Emily Sandford, whom Rash made the wretched tool of his nefarious schemes For toe two first the greatest sympathy is felt; and all would rejoice at their restoration to health. For Sandford, though she has erred, she has greatly suffered. The victim of an ul-placed attachment, and an illicit connexion, bitter has already been the penalty of her lapse from virtue and we believe Uiat there would be general satisfaction at bearing that she was placed in such a position that she could not in future plead poverty as a temptation for crime. With toe exception of her connexion with Rush, her conduct has been irreproachable.

Family misfortunes obliged her to go ont as a governess, and she became known to Rush through an advertisement for a lady to take an engagement in that character. He basely betrayed her under tbe promise of marriage and then the poor girl, no odier resource left, her character gone if she left him, and still with that faithful constancy clinging to toe heart wbich a woman who has ouce loved feels for man, although he may deceive her with these feelings and affections strong within her she became his slave, and no trait in Hush's character is more revolting than that heartless and callous indifference to her feelings which led him to put questions to ber when in the witness box that no man ought to have put to a female in ber position. Well will it be if an opportunity is now afforded ber to take a position in which she will have no further temptation to sin. From what we hear we feel confident she will not deceive those who may aid her, or cause them hereafter to blush because they have befriended one to whom, hitherto, the world has been unkind, and whose faults have been more forced upon her by circumstances than adopted through a vicious inclination. (Front the Bury Post) The murderer employs himself in walking up and down a small yard attached to his cell, and when he does condescend to speak he makes some jocular remark about his wish to get out of the world, and that he is not toe only one who has to complain of this troublesome world.

At times he wbisties, and at other times he remarks upon toe discordant noises proceeding from the outside. He is reported to have said he had bilked Sir George Grey, the Commissioner of Bankruptcy, the Judges in civil actions in which he was concerned, and every body eise with whom he has bad communicaiion. It is undeniable that he has squandered away the whole of the children's property that was left to them by their mother. He was left one of Uie trustees under his mother's will, but finding that he had not sufficient command of this money, it is stated that he forged a codicil, in which unlimited powers were given him to employ the money as he pleased, and containing Uie singular provision that no questions should be asked as to toe reasons of this codicil. All toe money has been spent, and toe future condition of the faimlv must be truly lamentable, an ejectment from the farms having been served.

He has attended chapel and conducted himself decently during the performance of divine service. Indeed he always preserved toe outward characteristic of a religious man. When Larner and Jenny went down to his honse at Felmingham tbey all joined in family devotion, even at the time he was making arrangements for die perpetration of the most revolting crimes, and for fixing them upon the men who were kneeling with him in united worship He kept a box in his house for toe collection of money for the Society for promoting Christianity among toe Jews, and invariably called upon his friends to contribute to this box. Mr. Pinso'n states that notwithstanding toe very proper remarks of the learned Judge that neither morbid sen sibility nor toe idle curiosity of the world should be allowed to pry into toe secrets of the murderer's cell, hundreds of persons unconnected with the criminal have made application to see him.

These applications have been in all oases refused, and the prison regulations have been carried ont to the fullest extent. Every precaution is taken to prevent toe prisoner making any attempt on bis life. On Saturday evening he was very loud in his protestations of his innocence, and he expressed a wish to write a letter to the Times, with a view of showing that he had been wrongfully convicted. He appears to think Uiat he cnu yet make people believe that he is an innocent aud au injured man. Whoever doubted of his guilt before he made such a ridiculous defence can have no doubt of it now.

Amongst toe numerous letters written by Rush to the Recorder, there is one which is supposed to indicate that he had entertained the idea of murdering Mr. Jenny as long ago as April 26, 1848. He is soliciting from Mr. Jermy an answer as to the terms on which he would let the Felmingham property to his mother for eight years. From toe context toe threat would only seem to refer to helping the claimants to the Stan-tield estates but the words are, I have nine children.

You have completely ruined me, so far as my own property goes. If you think I shall not take steps to ruin you and your family you never were more deceived in your life. You do not know me yet. Hitherto I have done nothing but what I have told you of; but unless you answer this letter satisfactory, nothing ou earth shall prevent me from treading in your steps, and paying you off in the same most vfilanous and base coin that you have me." Nobwich, Monday Afternoon. A change seems to have taken place in the prisoner Rush, which, though inconsiderable, holds out a promise Uiat ere long that system of stolid obstinacy in which he has so long indulged may give way to impressions more suitable to the awful position in which be stands.

Hitherto his queries have been irreverent and absurd, but now he has adopted a more serions tone. He attended Divine Service yesterday morning in toe Castie chapel, and complied with all die forms of the service, and during toe sermon appeared to be a deeply meditative mood.

The news of this determination on the part of Her Majesty was accompanied with toe expression of a desire of Her Majesty to be informed of some additional particulars wito respect to Emdy Sandford. EMILY SANDFORD.

Emily Sandford, toe unfortunate dupe of Rush's artifices, still remains under toe kind treatment of Mrs. Bryant, in Wy-mondham Bridewell. Rumours of a false and calumnious nature have been circulated against this young woman, but after a searching investigation by the magistrates, it has been found that up to the time of her connexion with Ru3h she bore an excellent and honourable character. From die letters received by the magistrates, containing subscriptions for her, it is evident tout much sympathy has been excited in her behalf in all parts of the country. Her attachment to Rush appears to have been intense.

When she first saw him in the Bridewell on toe charge of murder, she exclaimed" For God's soke. Bush, are you innocent He made no answer, but walked away, and for many hours the poor girl did not regain her composure. Immediately after her long and severe examination a sum of money was collected for her by toe magistrates, but she declined to receive it, wito the remark" It is of no use to me I don't want it I have a mother, who, tiiough respectably brought up, is in deep distress. Send it to her. and I shall be obliged." The child, who has been christened Emily Martha, remains wito the mother at the Bridewell, and is in good health.

Mr. Farrer, of Sporle, has interested himself much in her favour, and collected a considerable sum. We understand that subscriptions are received at Messrs. Gurneys' Bank, Norwich, for the faithful and courageous Eliza Chestney, and for tout great object of pity. Emily Sandford.

Bury Post. The Ipswich Journal states that on Thursday morning Em ily Sandford, in a conference with some of the gentlemen connected with the prosecution, expressed her conviction that, from what she had heard, when toe prisoner entered her bedroom, at three o'clock on the morning after the murder, it was his intention to have assassinated her with the dagger found under his mattress by toe police, and disposed of her body iu the secret place under the floor of toe parlour; intending afterwards, upon inquiries being made for her, to represent that she, under die name of Mrs. James, had, as previously represented to her friends by Rush, gone to France. THE WITNESSES LARNER AND JERMY. Much conversation has taken place here since the close of the trial on the subject of Thomas Jermy's and Earner's appearance iu toe witness-box.

the extraordinary fact that they were not asked a single question either for the prosecution or the defence, and the connexion which has. for some time, subsisted between them aud the murderer Rush. Several new facts baye transpired. It will be recollected that a paper was thrown down in Stanfield Hall on the night of the murders, signed Thomas Jenny, the Owner." Thomas Jermy, it will be remembered, could not write. Larner and it seems, took possession of Stanfield Hall some years ago, when it was held bv a late Mr.

Jermy. then called the Rev. George Preston. At tiiat time the murderer Rush was in Mr. Preston's employ, holding the office of land-steward, and succeeded, after much difficulty, 111 ejecting the intruders by taking down a body of light dragoons stationed at Norwich.

Matters went on. witb occasional but no very serious disagreements, for some time, until at length Rush was threatened with an ejectment from his farms. In due course Larner (a labourer in toe employment of Mr. Caiyert, a London who had previously been ejected through Rush's instrumentality, was traced out by Rush, and many communications and interviews took place between them At tout time toe deep-laid scheme of promoting his own interests by the destruction of the Stanfield Hall family seems to have commenced. On tbe succession of Mr.

Isaao Jermv the elder of the two murdered gentlemen) to the estate, proceedings were recommenced against him by toe claimants Larner and Thos Jermy, under the advice of Mr. Flower, a London solicitor to' whom the papers were shown. Eight or ten weeks before the murder the claimant Jermy received from Rush a forced will which, of conrse, it was thought conclusively established the' claim. At the same time Rush received from Thomas Jerruv a document giving bin possession of the farm at au almost nominal value, while Rush, having forged a lease by which he reined the farms at 300 per annum from Mr. Jermv, attemuted to show that he could huve no motive for the iwiift i the murders.

Agricultural Movement in Oxfordshire. One ot the largest and most influential meetings to at has ever taken place in this county was held on Wednesday in the County Hall, Oxford, to take into consideration the present depressed state of agriculture, and the steps necessary to be adopted to obtain relief. The Hi oh Sheriff presided and the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to: "1.

That this meeting views with alarm the present distressed state of agriculture: and every day's experience confirms the belief that unless immediate relief be afforded, the entire ruin of BriUah industry, with all its attendant evils and disastrous results, must inevitably and speedily ensue. S. That it is the opinion of this meeting that the present ru inous-ly low prices of agricultural produce may ralrly be attributed to the partial Free-trade measures lately adopted, anil that the greatest in justice will be inflicted on the British farmers and all who are de pendent on tbein for support, unless the heavy taxes imposed on British industry are immediately repealed, and a great reduction in the public expenditure effected. 3. That tbe Legislature having adopted a principal of Free-trade, as foreign corn and caUle are admitted duty free, and thus brought into immediate competition witb our own produce, it is on principled and unjust to tax onr own produce ao enormously wbon manufactured into malt and this meeting is, therefore, of opinion that a total repeal of toe duties on malt and hops, which press with undue severity on the farmer and the labouring community, ought, in common justice, to be conceded.

4. That petition embodying toe above view be presented to both Houses of Parliament, and signed by the High Sheriff on behalf of toe meeting." What the Aqbicultdbists Need.

Last week, Abra ham Morley, a master miller, residing on the Forest Side, Nottingham, committed suicide by banging himself in his own mill. The deceased had for some time been iu a very low state of mind, in consequence of the depressed suite of trade, caused by the introduction of free-trade measures, and has been frequently heard to say that unless prospects changed he should have to go to toe workhouse. The Jury returned the following verdict Hanged himself in a temporary fit of Insanity." More Foreign Protectionists. Onr Ambassador at Brussels writes:" I expressed to your Lordship at toe time it was not probable that the Belgian Government would abolish the differential duties now levied in toe ports of this country on British goods not imported in Belgian vessels. Subsequent conversation with M.

D'Hoffschmidt, and toe tenor of tbe pre sent note, confirm that opinion. Indeed, I very much doubt, considering the strong tendency which prevails at this moment in toe Chambers to give extraordinary impulse and protection to all branches of national and internal industry, whether a proposition to admit of competition on perfectly identical terms between British aud Belgian vessels would be listened to for an instant."

Robbery of Coins from the Bkitish Museum At Bow Street. Police-office, last week, Tvnxoleon Vlasto, a young man of fashionable appearance, said to be a native of Vienna, was charged with stealing Roman, Greek, and other coins, from the British Museum.

About two months ago the accused was introduced to the medal department, as a gentleman who wished to study toe coins iu the Museum and he constantly attended for that purpose. On Saturday week the label of a Greek coin was found on tbe floor Lear to where Vlasto had been sitting, and tbe coin was gone. In consequence of the respectable connexions of toe young man he was not at once arrested, but the cabinets were examined many coins were missing and a search-warrant was obtained against the prisoner. At bis lodgings a large collection of coins was found, including toe Greek one first missed othere were identified as belonging to the Museum. The wbole were valued at upwards of 2.000.

The prisoner told the magistrate that toe greater portion of the coins found at his residence did not belong to toe Museum. The prisoner was re-examined on Thursday, aud remanded. At Chester Assize five days have been occupied in the trial of Charles Griffin, an attorney, of Leamington, for the printing and selling ot a libellous book or pamphlet entitled, Stone-leigh Abbey Thirty Years Ago," with the object of aggrieving and vilifying the present Lord Leigh, and causing it to be generally suspected tbat be bad been guilty of divers murderous crimes. The defendant pleaded that the publication was founded on suspicions generally prevalent, and was for the public good, and the ends of justice and he called a vast number of witnesses, who spoke to their own knowledge or to common reports of tbe facts narrated. Lord Leigh and a number of witnesses were called for tbe defence.

Some of the latter were the very men, in proper person, whom the libel alleged to have been tbe yictiros of the crimes committed at Stoneleigh Abbey and others were friends of persons alleged to have beeu murdered, but whom they had seen constantly for years after the alleged penods of their death. D. Daigley amused toe Court by tbe emphasis with whieh he denied ever having beeu hanged in an apple-tree and William Wood took his oath that he had never been killed at all. Jane Goode, a woman upwards of a hundred years old, and a resident at Stoneleigh for eighty years past, described how a murdered man was her lodger for years after his death by poison. Mr.

The Plymouth Journal says During the past week the ltev.

James Shore has been visited by several deputations, appointed at public Meetings held for the expression of their sympathy for him in the trying circumstances in wbich he has been placed. The Right Hon. Earl Fortescue, Lord High Steward of the Queen's Household, and Lord-Lieutenaut of this county, has contributed the sum of twenty pounds towards the fund for the relief of Mr. Shore, which the Noble Earl transmitted in the following letter Clovelly Court, April 2, 1849. Sir, Understanding tliat some of toe friends of religions liberty, who at the late meetings at Exeter and in London expressed their sympathy for your sufferings, have followed up tbat expression with some contributions for your relief, I beg to add the inclosed for the same object In doing so, however, I wish not to be misunderstood.

As tbe legality of the proceedings against you has been affirmed by every court, civil as well as ecclesiastical, to which they have been referred, I cannot impugn, though I may regret, the conduct of those by whom such proceedings were instituted; but I have a right to denounce the inconsistency and injustice of tout state of the law under wbich, as we have so frequently seen of late, clergymen seceding from the Church of England are allowed to undertaba th mmistnr of toe Church of Roma I whilst those who, like yourself, desire to devote their services to a dissenting comrregauon. subject themselves thereby to prosecutions and costs. I hope that tbe just and tolerant spirit of our Legislature will soon remove this blot from our statute-book, and that all seceders will be protected alike iu following the dictates of men conscience, and in doing what they consider their duty to God.

The efforts to bring about a reconciliation between the courts of London and Madrid have not, it is said, been successful: and M. Mora, the Spanish negotiator, has returned to Madrid, after having suddenly broken off the negotiations with Lord Palmerston. King Charles Albert arrived at Bayonne on the 1st instant, on his way, it is said, to England be intended to come by teamer on the 2nd, but was disappointed, and will have to croBS through Spain." He is described as a very tall, slight man buttoned up to the throat iu an olive-coloured, single-breasted frock-coat, nearly reaching to the feet and wearing a grsy jockey-shaped travelling cap, pressed down over a thin sallow countenance." The manner in which he was recognized," says a Bayonne letter, was rather strange. When he returned from the expedition of Trocodero in 1824, he was very active in his endeavours to extinguish a great conflagration which had broken out in the Place de la Liberie, aud showed much bravery. It so hap pened at the time that he stood for a moment on the roof of one of the burning houses in company with a labourer, who was the first to recognize him yesterday." Accounts from Madrid of the 4th inst.

state that the Queen, on being infonued of the arrival of King Charles Albert at San Sebastian, had sent him a pressing invitation to come to Madrid. It was believed, however, that his Majesty could not accept it. The religious ceremony, iu which die Queen washed the leet of 12 beggers and attended them at dinner, took place on Holy Thursday (the rth inst), at the Palace, in presence of the members of the corps diplomatique and the entire Court. The Paris ('onstitutione! slates, on the authority of a letter from 1'erpiguun, thai a sanguinary battle had taken place in Catalonia, between a Royalist Chief Pons Bep Del Oli" and Cabrera, in which the two Generals were killed. Other accounts say that Cabrera, who had been wounded in the action, took refuge in a cavern, where he was discovered and put to death by the Miqueletes.

PORTUGAL. Lisbon letters to the 2nd inst have been received. The Ministry had declared in parliament that no modifications of protective duties were couteinplated or negotiated. Liberal views were gaining ground, however, and tbe Duke of Saldanha had requested the adm insirative section of the Council of State to suggest a remedy for the depression of the wine-trade. The deputies had approved of an amendment to the Electoral Law making the power to vote depend on proof of having paid taxes.

GERMANY. Refi'sal of the Imperial Crown by the Kixg of Pbi ssi a. The deputation of the Frankfort Assembly was received by the King on Wednesday last in the Rittersaal of the Schloss; the President of the deputation, M. Simons, in a short address stated the important object of the mission with which he aud his colleagues were entrusted, aud presented to His Majesty the formal resolution of the National Assembly. The King returned an answer, declining the proffered diadem.

The following passage will convey the substance of His Majesty's seiitimeuts Alter statiug' that the acceptance of the Crown would demand from him incalculable sacrifices and hut-den him witb heavy duties, His Majesty proceeded to say The German National Assembly has counted on me in all things which were calculated to establish the unity, power, and glory of Germany. I feel honoured by their confidence; and I am ready, by deeds, to prove that their reliance on my fidelity, love, aud devotion, to the cause of the country has not been misplaced but I should not justify that confidence I should not answer to the expectations of the German people I should not strengthen die unity- of Germany, if violating sacred rights and breaking my former explicit aud solemn promises, were, vrithoui the vohiniary assent of the crowned Princes and free slates of our Fatherland, to take a resolution which must be of decisive importance to them and to states which they rule." The members of the deputation were then introduced to His Majesty, and received au invitation to the Boyal table in the evening. In the Second Chamber the answer of the King was immediately made the ground of an attack on the Ministry-, by a formidable antagonist M. Vincke. A committee had lieen appointed to draw up an address to His Majesty in reference to the answer.

A Paris letter of Tuesday evening mentions the receipt of news from Fraukfort, thai ou Monday the commission appointed by the Assembly for reporting on the matter of the imperial crown recommended that five days be given to the King msatmnMuxK, uuaer uie penalty oi being deprived of the offer. It is stated in Paris, in high political circles, that the British Government recommends and urges the King of Prussia to accept. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. RENEWAL OF WAR. A communication from Fleuisburg of the 3rd of April savs "Our young troops (Holstein army) have undergone tbeir firat essay in arms, the 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 8th battalions of tbe line, and the 3rd Jager corps, with one and a-half battery, have stood fire against from 7,000 to 8,000 Danes, as well as any veteran troops could have done under the circumstances.

They retired in the best possible order before the Danish troops, maintaining a well-directed fire against them. This retreat was carefully as far as Hockerup, where Uiev took post in the expectation of being ordered to retire further from the Danes as soon as possible. This night the troops occupied the iutrench-ments near the Egerusund, with a half-battery of 12-pouuders on die side of die Graveustein, and the second battalion, with the 3rd Jager corps, have been charged with the outposts on the hue of operatious from Unbel to Atzbull. The Danes advanced from the island of Alsen about eleven o'clock, in numbers as before named, and their tire was answered by our Jagers and artillery. The lire of the Danes was supported bv a frigate aud several gun-boats near Riukiuis.

About two clock the action was ended with a loss on our part of one killed aud ten or twelve wounded." Another account, however, from the same place, mentions the Danish corps to have been only 6,000 men, which had succeeded in occupying Gravenstein, and taken a small body of HilMMtit cavalry, about eleven men, prisoners. The Danes have also taken Hadersleben, and their forces are said to be 10,000 to 20,000 men strong. On the other hand, from Hamburg papers and correspondence of the 6th inst, it auoears that an wi place between the" Danish naval force and the German Strand batteries, in which, though the latter were the weaker party in guns and artUlerymen, the Danes were defeated, and sustained considerable loss.

Landsberg. SOUTH AMERICA. Advices were received at Liverpool, on Sunday, from the Brazils and river Plate by tbe arrival of the ship Naomi from Pernambuco. The contents are not devoid of interest, although communicating no special intelligence of note. The Pernambuco letters extend to the 4th ult Relative to the late insurgent rising iu the province the advices are comparitively satisfactory.

No further attack had been attempted on the city aud although a rebel force had appeared within a distance of three leagues, and was committing some ravages iu the country surrounding its quarters, yet the Executive of Pernambuco commanded a force amply sufficient to secure peace and in the letters received anticipations are expressed that the rebel force in question would shortly disband itself. According to the latest letters from Rio de Janeiro, affairs in the empire were at the moment tranquil, but more clouded in regard to the future, iu consequence of the opposition manifested generally towards the existing Administration and from this cause fears hod in some degree arisen that the provinces might soon become the scenes of fresh disturbances. The anti-slavery party were still vigorously pursuing the attainment of their views, and had succeeded in effecting an alteration of the export laws, so as to augment the duties leviable on goods destined for the coast of Africa. The new rates ore stated to be equal to 15 per cent, instead of 5 percent CALIFORNIAN GOLD REGIONS. The American papers recently received contain statements of some interest touching the gold regions of California.

From Vera Cruz we learn that many parties of America en route to California were arriving at that city. A San Francisco letter of the 26th of December states that in consequence of the wintry weather at the mines, that town was crowded with gold-diggers, many of whom were totally unable to procure shelter. The verandahs of buildings, out-houses, and even hen-coops, were eagerly taken up as places of shelter by persons whose blankets were lined with gold." Other letters of a similar date state that emigration had been pouring into the diggings from all quarters and the writer thinks that at least 100,000 men will have arrived by August next As to the chances of obtaining the precious metal, Uie writer says" Parties can easily obtain from 30 dollars to 100 dollars per day, and some that I have seen obtained as high as 3(K) dollars per day." Speaking of the gold dust on board die United States ship Lexington, iie also estimates the amount at from 300,000 dollars to 600,000 dollars, aud also reiterates the statements that it will be carried to Valparaiso and melted into bars before being brought to this country. From the best judgment that can be obtained, not more than 200,000 dollars in gold-dust, independent of the Lexington's, had been shipped for the United States. Most of the gold-dust was shipped to Mazatlan and Valparaiso, exchanged for silver, and carried back to California to trade upon.

It was thought that but little of the gold would reach the United States for some time, as much of it would be shipped to London, to be there drawn upon from this country." Provisions were very- plentiful, and were receding in price. One hundred thousand bushels of wheat had rotted in California for want of persons to gather it The Australian Agricultural Company have received an account of the discovery, upon their land, of a new and valuable seam of coal.

The IsotvENT States of North America. The Legislatures of several States are sull in session, but nothing has transpired in their proceedings affecting the public debts. Most of die States have in ojeration all the laws necessary to place their credit on a firm basis. Ii is now more a matter of time toon of further legislation as regards the ability of each delinquent to ultimately meet its current expenditure, including interest ou their debts. The revenue laws have been judiciously framed, and their operations thus far have been satisfactory; and as the value of taxuble property in each State increases, the income of the treasuries augments, aud their nuances improve, in uns way, witnout any increase iu the rate of taxauou, die full interest on the whole debt of each will be prompdy paid, and delinquency become one of those things that were.

The Hunnibat Journal has a fearful story, to the effect that a Mr. Weadierford, sheriff of ouuajrar county, in tbe state ot Maine, and ex qffiiio collector of the county revenue, conceiving a desigu to cheat Uie com moiiwealth out of some doUars which he had collected, Jett the money in the care of his wife, part in silver and part in paper, with the declaration that he would begone several days, nnd enjoiued upon her diat she should permit no one to stay idl night at die house during his absence.

When the town was taken Captain Leith was the first man who surmounted the breach; and his gigantic stature, for he is nearly six feet and a half, as well as toe prominent place he occupied in the advance, at once marked him as the target of a hundred firelocks. A Sikh swordsman, placed above him on the wall, lopped off his arm at a single blow; with his other arm he not only cut down his assadant but cleaved a second adversary to toe teem. A bullet meanwhile had struck him in the shoulder, and lodged in above the elbow this at length disabled him, and he was rescued by his men.

Anti-Ueer-shop Association. This Association originated in Liverpool in 1848, for the purpose of procuring an Act of Parliament to prohibit Uie granting of any new licenses to beer-shops, and to enact that those already granted shall continue in force only during toe tenure of toe present holders.

The Earl of Harrowbv (if well supported by petitions) will bring iu a bill in 1849 for that purpose. There can be but littie doubt that tbe establishment of beer-shops, so far from answering the end proposed of beuefitiug the poor, has proved decidedly and incieasingly injurious to Uie workiug classes; that even Uie strongest affection our nature is capable of the love of wife and children is, in too many instances, completely overpowered by tbe temptations these houses afford; and that ai numbers are thereby reduced to utter poverty, who, by throwing themselves on parochial relief, inflict a grievous wrong on the industrious and sober portion of the nation.

Exchanging Sentences. At Worship Street, on Thursday, a police inspector acquainted Mr. Hammill with some curious particulars communicated to him by one of the gang, relative to an exchange of sentences by a well known thief, who had been sentenced to three months' hard labour, with a refractory pauper whose punishment was only 21 days. While hi the cell at toe court, the thief was pathetically lamenting the severity of his sentence, when the pauper took up the opposite strain of lamentation at the lightness of bis own. You see," said the pauper, I've been in prison before, and therefore know what it is, and, as both toe food you get there and the work they put you to are much better and lighter in prison than in the work-house, I like the prison a great deal the best, and am only sorry I shall have to go back to the house' again so soon." The sentence of each exactiy met the wishes of the other, and, as both were willing to change with the other, it was ultimately agreed that when they reached the prison, as nobody could tell one from the other, each should answer to the other's name.

The consequence was, that when the three weeks had expired the thief was discharged in the name and ou toe supposition of his being the pauper, while the latter, as he (the inspector) was informed, was still in prison, and, much to his own gratification, quietly and willingly serving out the balance of tbe sentence that properly belonged to the thief.

Trial of the Bath Goldsmiths for Transposing the Hall Mark. Taostox, Good Friday. This day, upon tbe return cf the Judges from Church, Horatio Jennings War-en, aged 47, and Samuel Henry Fuller, aged 81, were placed at the bar, before Lord Chief Justice Denman, and arraigned on an indictment charging them with having in their possession, without lawful excuse, a silver spoon, bearing the mark of Uie die of the Goldsmith's Company, which die had been transposed from a ware of silver, to wit, a skewer, by one Hubert Sawyer Consins. Another count charged toe transposition to have been mode by a person to tbe Jurors unknown.

They were also charged with being iu possession of a silver soup ladle, with the die of the company transposed. Mr. Cockbubn having opened the case to toe Jury, Mr. Hough, an officer in the Assay office of the Goldsmith's Company, was examined at great length; and after him several other witnesses. In his summing up, Lord Denman said I think it reasonable to say that it is substantially a change of character of the article, that is, a transposition, and not merely an addition still I feel there is a very great difficulty, which I hope, if necessary, wfll be thoroughly discussed.

I may here say what a humiliating circumstance it must be for persons who bore so high a character to have to go to their workmen, and ask them to bury one thing, and to destroy their books, spreading over toe whole mass of society principles which arc destructive to us all. These gentlemen received a very high character and snch as hardly any man can expect to receive. If they did transpose the mark from one ware to another, in my opinion they are guilty of the act which makes it felony. Is it a transposition, or is it an addition 1 think the taking it from one article and applying it to a new thing is transposing the mark. If you take toe same view, it is clear beyond all doubt that the prisoners have done the act, and are guilty of the felony, but if you think it is only an addition, you will acquit them." Tbe Jury, after a quarter of an hour's consideration, returned the following verdict Guilty of the addition, not guilty of tbe transposing vtrdiet.

Mot Guilty." A bunt of applause followed tbe verdict, and tbe aeeuaed were escorted to their inn by several hundreds of.
