HER MAJESTY'S FANCY DRES&-BALL. I To describe such a s:cne as this magnificent and bril- liant fete presented 0:1 Thursday night, even with all the advantages of time, and a perfect knowledge of the per- sons represented and the costumes worn, would be a -difficult task. Even to one accustomed to all the pomp and splendour of the British Court, as manifested on state occasions, it must have excited both astonishment and delight; it realized the liveliest creations of the imagination, and presented as it were the description of the ancient chroniclers bodily before the eye. The dresses, as might naturally be expected, were of the most Magnificent description, and those which did not dazzle wi:h their magnificence, attracted the eye by their sin- gularity, or amused the fancy by their qu.,in'tries- It would be quite useless (says the Times) to attempt any- thing like an enumeration of all the costumfs which deserved notice; they were far too numerous, and we must content ourselves with noticing such as. amongst p;i.<"h a gay and brilliant crowd, forcibly attracted the at- ten-ion. The leading feature of the bill was the assembling and the meeting of the two Courts of Anne of Bretagne (the Duchess of C;mibndo;e) and Edward and Phillipa (her Majesty and Prince Albert). A separate entrance at the Palace was set npa t to the Court of Brittany, the Duchess of Cambridge assembling her Court in one ot the lower rooms of the Pala;1, while the Queen and Prince Albert, surrounded by a numerous and brilliant circle, prepared to receive her Uoval Highness in the Throne-room, which was altered so far as to be made as much as possible to h .rmonize with the period. The throne was removed, and another erected, copied from 4-11 authentic source, of the time uf Edward i 11. It was lined (as well as the whole a'core on which the throne was placed) with purple velvet, having worked on it in flold the Crown of England, the Cross ot St. George, and emblazoned shields with the arms of England and Prance. The state chairs were what might be called of Gothic design, and the throne was surmounted with Go- thic traeerv. At the back of the throne were emblazoned the Roval" Arms of England in silver. Seated on this throne her Majesty and Prince Albert awaited the arrival of the Court of Anne of Brittany. About half-past 10 the heralds marshalled the proces- sion from the lower suite of rooms, and the Duchess of ■Cambridge appeared in a magnificent costume, led by the Duke of Beaufort, as Louis XI I. equally magnificent, and followed bv the rest of her Court, These were di- vided by heralds and Marshals into quadrilles, and nnrched in the following order:—After the Royal party, consisting of Prince George, the Princess A &c., came the Highland Quadrille, the Greek Quadrille, the > Hungarians, the Kuights Temp ars. and the Saracens. These, on reaching the Throne-room, p issed before the Sovereign, making their obeisances, and then furmcd themselves for dancing, whu h immediately commenced. Among the costumes in the train of Bri'tanv, the Duke of Beaufort and the Earl of Cardigan were most con- spicuous. Nothing could possibly be more regal than the appearance of her and Prince Albert. Among their circle the Marquis of N ormanhy fin ar- mour) the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, theEirl of Hillsborough, the Duke of Burcleuch, Earl de Grey, Lord Brabazon. the Duke of Devonshire, were most j conspicuous. Thv Earl of Liverpool appeared as an Ancient Seneschal, and conducted her Majesty to the. pupper-room. The Earl of Chesterfield, the Marquis of Eeter. Sir E ward Lytton Bulwer, the Duke of Nor- folk, the Duchess of Inverness, Lady Frances Sandon, Lord Brabazon, Mrs. Cavendish, &c., were among those nhosc costumes attracted most attention. The costumes '.vert* most magnificent, especially those in the different quadrille* of France, Germany, Spain, Itsily, and Scouand- The general company began to arrive soon after 9 o'clock the ladies, with few excep- tion*, in drestes of different agrs and coutttrit's, many of great splendour and the gentlemen in numerous in- stances also in costumes of the most picturesque effect, manv of them bein^r strictly historical. The Foreign Mini <ters in tf e:r respective uniforms, attended by their Secretaries ar.d Attaches, arrived iit the Equerries' en- trance. The nie,.nfjer% of' the R(-,v.,i family and the par- ties composing the different quadrilles entered by the ■garden entrance. The entire suite of state rooms were opened and most brilliantly illuminated with chandeliers, nndelabra and branches. The companv danced in the Throne room and Bell roam, in both of which quadrille b inds were stationed. Both Ball ruoms were filled with company. Her Majesty left the Ball room about a quarter to 3 o'clock, but dancing was continued for about an hour afterwards. The expenditure of this one night's enter- tainment wa- enormous. One noble lord pays IC150 for the hire of diamonds, and ladies drank expend a far greater sum. All the great jeweller* in London, down to the Jew diamond merchants, were laid under contribu- tion. Her Majesty wore hut one diamond on her head. This gem. value £ 10.000, locked at a distance like a star by it3 vivid brilliancy.

THE MTltDER OF JANE JONES. THE WELSH- WOMAN—TRIAL AND COVICf10 OF THE MURDERER. List Friday, Daniel Good was tried at the Centra! Ciitninnl Court in London, for the murder of Jane jone". a native of Myfod, Montgomeryshire; the court and all the avenues to it were besieired hv numbers, being fuiler than at any period of the trial of Courvnisier. The counsel for the proseeution were the Attorney General, Mr. Wadifing- ton, Nfr. Adolphus, sin,i Mr. Russell Gorney. The pit. Soner's counsel was Mr. Donne. The Duke of Sussex took his seat on the judges* bench. Chevalier Bunsen was also on the bench. At ten o'clock Lord Denman, Mr. Baron Alderson, itnd Mr. Justice Coltman. took their seat*. The prisoners Dnniel Good and Mary Good were then brought in and placed in the dock. Good was not much altered In his appearance since his committal, although his fent'tres were rather attenuated, and his face wore a more anxious expression. As soon as he came to the front of the do<-k he put his hand to his forehead, and respectfully bowed. Mary Good looked much better than before her imprisonment. —Mr. Street having read the indictment, called upon the prisoner, Are you guilty or not guiltv ?" -The prisoner in n low tone of voice replied, Not guiltyThe indictment against Mary Good, for feloniously harbouring and succouring the prisoner, was then read, and to the question, Are you goilty or not guilty ?" she repiied ia a strong Irish accent. No, sir."—The prisoner Daniel Good was then arraigned on the coroner's inruiii. tion, to which he ako pleaded Not guilty.Tric Jury having been sworn, the trial proceeded. The Attorney. General rose and said, it was his duty to state the circumstances under which the prisoner at the bar was charged with the crime of murder. On the 6th April hst. on II Wednesday, a person of the name Of Collingbourne, residing at Wandsworth, directed R policeman named Gar- diner to go and apprehend the maie prisoner on a charge of stealing some artic e of wearing "pparel from his shop. The policeman went to the premises of a u-e«t!eman nat.ed ShielJ, residing in Putney Park lane, and inquiring for the pri-oner, saw an,1 tidd him of the accusation against him. The prisoner willingly consented to go with the police- officer and nettle the matter; but the latter insisted upon discharging his duty by making a search of the premises. The premises in question are stable*, being about 200 yards from the house. The learned gentleman then went on to describe the stables, and their relative position, and detailed the circumstances attending the discovery of the body in one of the stalls of the stable, and the absconding of thr prisoner upon the policeman uttering nn exclamation. After the prisoner had run away and locked the door behind him. shutting the policeman and other persons in the stable, the officer returned to the stall, when they found that the object of their alarm was the trunk of a female human body, the head, arms. and legs being severed from it. On a subsequent search, portions of human bones and of a skull were found in the ashes of a stove in the harness room, in which the missiug portions of the body had, it was believed, been consumed. Having shortly detailed the facts attend- ing the discovery, he proceeded to tell the jury that the first question for their consideration would be, who the person was whoe body had bren thus found the second, how she came by her death; the third, by whose act she came to that death and the fourth, one of some im. portance, by what means she had met it. It would now become his duty to enter into a short history of Jane Good. who wa. believed to have been the person who had fallen a victim to the violtnce of the prisoner at the bar. and whose body had been found, mangled as he had described, in the st.ibles in Putney Park-lane. He then detailed the facts of the prisoner's conntxioo with Jane Good, his being last seen in her companv, the arrangements she had made for providing the boy Daiiel Good 'with a lodging for the night of Sunday (the day on which she was last seen alive and in the company of the prisoner), the discovery of por- tions of her dress in the stable, and the finding of articles, nearly all of which could be identified as belonging to Jane Good, which the prisoner had subsequently riven to a young woman named Butcher. He then traced them from the several places in which they had been seen together, the public houses at which they had drunk, to the im- mediate vicinity of the stables in Putoey Park-laoe. Since that the ""om'n Jane Good had never been seen alive, and there was little doubt that the mRfllitled trtlnk wbich was found in the stable was the body of that person. Coupled with these facts were the circumstances of the discovery of portions of burnt bene, the smoke seen from the chimney of the harness room, and the smell which had been at the same time observed as of some animal substance burning. The learned gentleman then went through the other facts of the case as they related to the conduct of the prisoner after the Sunday in question, and his disposal of the clothes and other property which had belonged to the woman Jane Jones subsequently to his running away from the stables on the Wednesday night. He next described the axe and knife which had been found, and said, whether the woman Jane Good was the unfortunate person whose remains were found in the stnble or not, evidence would be g iven by which the jury would have to judge, and upon which -thev must come to their own conclusions. With respect to the share which the prisoner might have had in the transaction, they would find that the premises in whlch the alleged murder was supposed to have taken place were principally under his control that he constantly k*pt the doors locked, and allowed nobody but himself to light the fire in the harness room, where the portions of burnt bones had been found. The state of the body exc!uded the idea of death by disease or poison, and there' remained then only the supposition that her death had been the result of violence. The incisions on the body had been made with an instrument of considerable sharpness, and the bones separated by one of great power, but less sharpness, although the medical men did not ascribe the deceased's death to any of these causes, hut to some act of violence which bad been committed previously to the severing of I the bead and other portions of the body. If these circum- stances satisfied them that the prisoner wng so mixed up with them as to leave little or no doubt that he had caused the death of the individual whose body w»s there found, and that that individual was Jane Good, it would be their duty to find him guilty of the murder. Mr. Adolphus then called the first witness, W. Gardiner, the constable, who deposed to the circumstances attending the finding of the mutilated trunk of the mnrderrd woman, and the conduct of the male prisoner at the time, as well as the fact of his escape after locking himself (witness) and the others who were with him in the stable. He also described the mutilated state of the body. —Cross-examined by Mr. Doane: The blood appeared to be dry, but I did not ascertain whether it was or not. I did not leave the stable from the time of discovering the body and finding the mattress and blankets.— By Lord Denman I can't exactly say what quantity of blood t here was OIl the straw- near the body the mark of blood might he as large as that ¡a 'L -I 'L piece or pnper in your lordship s i-nil R sheet of brief j paper).—Dy Mr. Baron Alderson: The blood was not under the body, but near it. There w as 110 stream of blood. There was litter in the stable, but not as if any horse had he"n there. Robert Speed, one of the lai's who accompanied the last witness, was next examined. He corroborated his testimony in &]]its parts. -Ttiomfis H i)tightnn wasthenext witness. He was the gardener, and went into the stable with the witneate" already examiued. He stated that on the night of Wednesday he examined the fire-pi;tce, and firand therein fuel three times as much in quantity as was necrssary for an ordinary fire. — Samuel Palmer, policeman, deposed to finding the portions of calcined bones produced. — Jo-Siah Tigbe, constable, deposed to finding in the cinders two pieces of bone, and on the Tuesday aftfr a sm!) pjrce of flesh on the edge of the lid of the seat-bofj. The piece of flesh was Rhout half the size of a PeR. Inspector BuiRin gave evidence of his having found a knife which had blond marks on the handle and blade, the latter of which appeared to have been rtnty and subse- quently sharpened. In the corner of the room he found no axe with marks of blood on the edge and poll. He ,,(o fonnd parts of a lfnnnel petticoat and a calico petticoat with marks of blood, which appeared not to have been dropped upon, but splashed. He examined the body after it had been washed and on the right side of the neck, near the collar-bone, saw a small mole, very dark. He produced the sign-board which used to hang out in South street, where Jane Good lodgerl it bore the inscription, "Man- gling done here." John Houghton, son of the gardener, deposed to ob- serving on the Tuesday before the body was found a very unpleasant smell, like the singeiog of horses. —Cross-exa- mined by Mr. Doane I recollect Sunday and Monday, the 3d and 4th of April went to bed on each cf these nights at about ten o'clock. I got tip each of the next mornings shortly after six. The room in which I sleep is partly over the stable where the body was fouod. The prisoner slept ia the house. Alfred B. Allen examined hv the Attornev-G^npral 1 am an assistant to Mr. Chas. Shillito, a surgeon of Putney. On the night of 6th April I was sent tor to co to the sta- bles of Mr. Sliiell, in utney Park-lane. f there saw the trunk ofa female body. The head had been severed from the body by a very clean ckit between the second and cmru c, rvicai vertebra. The legs had been taken otf- the integuments had been severed, and the bines sepa- rated near the great trochanters. The bowels were re- moved.— There was a longitudinal cut extending from the sternum to the pubes, and also a cut in a transverse di- rection. The body appeared in a most healthy state. There were no symptoms of disease whatever. I did not see tilt heart nor lungs. The blood-vessels appeared perfectly empty. It was not at itif likely from appear- allees that the person had died of apoplexy. The person coi, ,d not have been dead more than five days at the farthest. Ihere was no appearance of decay there was a very slight smell, but decomposition had not com- menced. I saw the axe that night, but did not examine it until the next day. [ believe the marks upon it are thllse of blood. I have seen the bones found in the ashes. One of them is a portion of the femor or thigh bone, another a portion ot the knee-joint. Others are por- tions of a human skull; the joint of the sutures are plainly to be seen. I am inclined to think that the bodv had been pregnant. I am inclined to think that she was, but cannot state positively. The bones were very much calcined. By Loid Denman I should say that the deceased had been upw.tl -(-is of thirty, but there was really so little to go by thdt it was very difficult to sav. I should judge from Kpp?aranct; that the b0Jy had been dead four or five t. 'i-otit itppearinc(., that tille bldy li-i d be eii lead four or five By Baron A!dcrsnn—The deceased was R phmp female ofabo?t the middle size. I he bosom were p?mp and from their appearance f think that she had not borne a cllild or given suck. I thmk she had been dead as much as four d.ys. The rigidity of death had passed, and the naccidity of the flesh returned. Dr. Ridge exatnint-d by the Attorney-General. —I am a surgeon, practisin at Putney, I received the coroner's warrant to attend the inquest on the body found in the stable at Shiell's. I saw the body. I believe that the incision by which the head had been removed was made after death. I am quite satisfied as to that. The heart was in a highly healthy state, as were the lungs; but the latter were very much collapsed-they contained neither blood nor air. According to my judgment death was not caused by any disease with which I am acquainted. I should be inclined to say that deceased had died from violence-trom the sudden loss (while in health and thf muscular powers were in action) of blood. Thi-s ni ight have been produced by the blow from a stick, or other cause! The calcined bones are certainly those of a human person. One of those now produced is a portion of the thigh bone—the lower end, where it articulates with the knee joint; the others are portions of a human skull. They have been reduced t" their present state by the action of a very strong fire. I saw the grate in the harness-room, anc about a bushel of fuel in it. A fire made in such a grate would be capable of producing great heat, fis it had a very great draught. I believe the de- ceased to have been pregnant, I jl!d so frora the appearance of the breasM. i thinh 'tt had so fr(ira tile five months gone. On examining the knife I observed that it smelt very l;ke,our dissecting knives; and cu exa- ] l' I I. J, 1 mining UJC handle elivl^ I )?ur, j LL?: it contained •» s.uHM piet-c o: tianacl. which had bec? s??urat?J with blood. The smell has gone off now. Dr. Ridge recalled, and in reply to a question from Baron Alderaon, said lie was of opinion that aneurism at the lower p-irt of the leg would not be attended by coilapse of the lungs. Jane Brown examined bv Mr. Adolphtis-I live at 18, South-street, Manchester-square, and am a green- grocer. I let part of my house out in lodgings. I let a lodging to a woman named Jane Jones, who afterwards went by the name of Jane Good. That was three years ago last October. I last saw her on the 3d ApriL She was rather a plump woman, and of slightly dark com- plexion. I have seen the prisoner Daniel Good, who used to come to see her. and a little boy named Daniel Good used to live with her. I have been told by the prisoner that the mother of the boy had been dead a year ind a halt. I saw her last on the 3d of April, when she left my house she was dressed in a dark mingled cotton gown, a shawl with black ground and flowers, and a blue bonnet: it was between three and four o'clock that she went out. The little boy had gone to school about two o'clock: I did not see him any more on that day. When she first came to me she had a board put up, intimating that she tcok in linen to mangle. She was not in the habit of sleeping from home. She never did so but once, and that was on the Easter Monday. I judged that she did so that night, from seeing the padlock 011 her dour the I next morning. On Monday, the 4-th of April, Good came to my house, and asked if he could have the room three week s longer, in order to dispose in the mean time of the mangle and remove the bed and other articles, saying that Mrs. Good would not return, as she was goin? into serv ce, to take care of a gentleman's lodge about four I miles from the place at which he was living. The pri- soner came ;imiin on Tuesday night about 10 o'clock. He had a latch key by which he got in, and stated that I he had come to town with the family, who had gone to a ball. I asked how Nfrs. (lood was, and he replied he had not seen her that dav. He came again OH the Wednesday night after I had gone to bed I heard but did not see him. My husband Jet IJlm in. The bonnet, shawl, and dress produced are those which Jane Good wore on Sunday the 3rd April to the best of my belief. The boots produced are like those which she wore. The rent-book produced is in my own hand writing. Cross-examined by Mr. Do;tne-I have seen all these articles of wearing apparel before. They were produced at Bow-street, and shown to me when I Went there to give my testimony. People called Jane Jones by the name of J ones only. I cannot say I ever heard her say her name was Jane Jones. Jane Good is on the board now produced; originally it was Jane Jones. I can swear it was Jones. I cannot swear that it was Jane Jones. It might h,, ve been J." Jones on'v. I was first called upon to give evidence 011 Thursday 7th April. Mrs. Fanny Hester—On the 3d April, the prisoner and a woman, whom he called his s ister-in-law, came to my house. The woman had on a blue bonnet, and a dark shawl. I said to the prisoner, The gardener has been saying something disrespectful about Susan Butcher sleeping in the harness-room." The woman who was with him appeared very agitated, and asked who Susan Butcher was, and the prisoner said she was a friend of hb. They went away together about half-past five o'clock, and the prisoner said he was going to wait at table. On the Tuesday following the prisoner brought his little boy to my house, and he slept there that night, and went away the next day. 1 believe the bonnet produced to be the same worn by the woman who accom- panied the prisoner. Robert Paling eKtmined-I am a policeman, and I wa* on duty in the Richmond road on the 3d of April, and about a quarter of a mile from Putney Park-lane I met the prisoner, accompamed by a woman, who had on a bhjebonnet.and a dark gown. It was about six o'clock in the evening. They were conversing together In a Jood angry tone. Cross-examined—It wa3 the woman who appeared to be speaking loud, and finding fault with the man, and not him with her. Mr. George Royal—I keep the King'3 Head public- house at Roehampton. On the evening of the 3d April the prisoner and a woman were at my house, and they had two glasses of gin and water. The prisoner seemed to press her to drink, and she appeared to do so with reluctance. She pushed away the glass several times when he offered it to her. I observed she had a light coloured bonnet on, but I did not pay particular atten- tion to her dress. Sarah Greenwood-I was cook to Mr. Shiell in April last. The prisoner was coachman in the same service, and he slept on the same floor with the other servants. I I remem ber the Wednesday when Good left, and on the previous Sunday I recollect he told me he was going to town to fetch a friend. I saw him at half-past nine o'clock on the Sunday night, and he was then quite correct"—I mean sober. On the Monday night the prisoner brought his little boy to the house. The next morning, when he came to breakfast, the prisoner was very dirty, and I told him he was not fit to sit down with us, for he was as black as a sweep. The prisoner replied that he had been cleaning the harness, and that he would shave and wash himself. I never was in the harness- room or the stable. By the Court.—I did not hear the prisoner go up to bed on the Tuesday night. The prisoner used to make his own bed. George Jordan—I am footman to Mr. Shiell. About half-past seven or. the evening of the 3d of April I saw the prisoner, and told him that his master wanted him to take some letters to the Post-office. He went up to the parlour, and after that he told me he was going to the Green Man on Putney-heath, to see a person who was to take his son to Ireland. Mary Uo^jr — I live at No. 9, South-mews, Manches- ter- sqi t re. kiit-w Nlrs. Good, who lives in South- street: she used to mangle for me. I saw her last on Sunday the 3d of April. 1 had an appointment to see her on Monday, but I saw nothing of her. I saw the prisoner on the Monday, and asked him where Mrs. Good was, and he said sÎ'e was detained at home on ac- count of the poultry. I said she had promised to be home at nine o'clock in the morning, and he made meno answer. He then told me to go to I rs. Good's apartment and get two sheets that were there, and repair them and take them to Mr. Spice, a surgeon. I saw him again on the following Tuesday night, and I asked him how Mrs. Good wis and where she was, and he said he did not know. and had not seen her for two days. Lydia Susannah Butcher examined—I live at Wool- wich, and have known the prisoner some time, and he has he; n to see me at my father's, and I have been to see him at his master's house, in Putney Park-lane. I stayed there once all night, and slept in the harness-room. The prisoner put me there. On Wednesday, the 6th of April, the prisoner came to my father's house in a pony chaise, accompanied by his little boy, about four in the afternoon. lie brought some things in a bundle, which he gave me there wAs a bonnet, a shawl, a pair of boots, a fur tippet, and other articles, and they were wrapped up in an old hat box. The prisoner said that these things had belonged to his wife, who, he said, had been dead for five years. A sliart time before this he told me that he had some th;ns of his wife's, and that he would brine them to me some day. He asked me to wear the bonnet, but I refused. He brought two squares of shot silk at the same time, but he took them away with him. I kept these things until next day, when I delivered them to Barry, the sergeant of p(ilice. The prisoner took tea at our house, and! accompanied him as far as New-cross. Re told me that there was a mangle for me and that I was to go up to London on the Saturday and see it and some other things he had for me. As we were going along he told the child to call me mother; and he said at the time that his aunt was gone into the country. Cross-examined *1 have known the prisoner some ciiiie, -in d about a twelvemonth ago he told me that his wife was dead. He has given me presents various times. He took the shawls I have spoken of away with him, and I have not seen t .em since. I think I slept upon the mattress in the harness room. I only slept there once, but I have been to the house to see him several times, and it was upon those occasions that Oughton, the gar- dener, saw me. Mary Anne Clark-The bonnet producstl I know to have belonged to Jane Jones. I made it for her, and I am sure it is the same. I once tried a gown upon her, and I observed a small dark-coloured mole upon her neck. A piece of srlk 'produced by the officer is part of the stoft of which I made the bonnet. I have .1 seen the petticoats produced by Inspector BusWin, and I have no doubt that they were those of Jane Jones. There was a wide [)and to one of the petticoats, and I have seen her hang it Oil the line. The bunch of keys produced be- longed to the deceased, and I have seen the guard round her neck every day. Cross-examined— I said all this to Sergeant Goldirig on the 7th April. Elizabeth Christie—I lived at the honse in South- street, and Knew Mrs. Jones. t can swear to the bon ¡ net produced as the one she used to wear. I have fre- quently seen her wear it. and aboat nine months ago I altered it for her. I also know the guard and the bunch of keys produced to have belonged to Mrs. Jones. I have observed a mole on the right side of Mrs. Good's neck. Cro.is- exam i neti -Whenever I have seen Good in company with Mrs. Good, his conduct appeared to be aflectiouate and kind to her. George Giites-I drive a hackney cabriolet, and did so on the ôrh of April last. On that night I was with my cab in Grosvenor-place, and the prisoner hired me about half-past eleven at night, and I drove him to No. 18, South-street, Manchester-square. We afterwards drank together at a public-house. Richard Salmon, pot-bov at the Bedford Arms, South- street, proved that on the night of the 6th April the pri- soner borrowed a screw-driver, and he went to Jane Jones's apartments, and forced the staple off the door. He had before said that he left his key: at home. John Littlebody, another cab-driver, proved that he was called by the prisoner to go to South-st eet, and he there took up the prisoner and also a large box, a bed, and other articles. This was on the 7th of April. He set the prisoner down in Whitcomb -street. 1 homas Sales, waiter at the Spotted Dog, proved that the prisoner and a woman were in the tap-room, and that the prisoner said he was very tired, tor he had been tra ve ng travelling allniht by the railway. He asked him what railway, and he replied he did not know. The prisoner conversed with the woman, and he heard him say, "That won't trouble you no more." Witness cooked him some steak, and while he was doing so the prisoner went I out into the street at least eight times. The woman Mary Good was here sent for, and the witness identified her as the woman who accompanied the prisoner on the occasion referred to. The shopman to Mr. Soames, a pawnbroker, proved that the prisoner offered a bed in pawn; as he was a stranger, he refused to take it in, and the prisoner went away and returned with Mary Good, who said the prisoner was her husband, who had just come from sea, and that it was all right. The prisoner said he had come up by railway, and that the goods belonged to a person who had died on a voyage home from China, and he was authorised to pawn it. The prisoner afterwards brought a bundle, which contained articles of female wearing apparel. Stephen Ludlow-I a "I a special constable, stationed at Toiibridge, and on the lbth of April I apprehended the prisoner at that place. I searched hiin, nd iound a warch and a jacconet apron, on which I observed spots of blood. The prisoner at the time I took him had on the dress of a bricklayer. Mr. Doane asked the Attorney-General if it was his intention to go upon that count in the indictment which contained the charge of poisoning. as in that case he (Mr. Doane) had something to say upon it. The Attorney-General said that that count had only been introduced for the purpose of making sure upon a case when there was no evidence of the precise mode in w:1Ï. the murder had been committed. The Court aud for) retired fur refreshment fur & few minutes at five o'clock. On the return of the jury to the box, the Attornev- General said that the case for the prosecution had closed. Mr. D,ane then addressed the jury for the defence-Re Slid that it now became his duty to address a few obser- vations to them on behalf of the unfortunate man who was then placed in the dock before them. There were circum- stances connected with this transaction to which he begtred to call their most serious attention, and those were the statements which had been circulated respecting the prisoner, and which had induced a large portion of the public to entertain most exaggerated notions respecting him. A larlle portion of the public press had given cir. culation to the most exaggerated reports, much ca culated to prejudice the case. The prisoner had been denounced cpenly as the murderer. His name had been constantly coupled with the dreadful crime, from end to end of the kIngdom. It was, doubtles, to these statements that the Attorney-General had alluded in his opening speech when he called upon them to dismiss from their minds every thing which they mieht have heard elsewhere relating to this case. He (Mr. Doane) had nothing to complain of, on behalf of the unfortunate man, as to the mnner in which the prosecution in this case had been conducted. His learned friend, the Attorney-General, had confined himself to a caito deliberate statement of the facts, unaccompa- nied by any comments, for which he, on the part of the prisoner, entered his learned friend his most humble thanks. He (I r. Doane) had now to call upon the jurv, as his learned friend had done, to dismiss every prejudice from their minds-not to swerve to the right or to the lef;, but calmly, patiently, and quietly attend to the evidence nnd carefully to weigh it all before, they came to a Conclusion. And he beeeed of them t,) pause a long time before they would one and all declare the prisoner at the bar guilty of the crime imputed to hiin. The charge rested entirely upon circumstantial evidence. There was no direct testi- mony whatsoever as to the cause of the death of the deceased and heputittothe jury whether the circum- stances which hId been proved were sufficient to warrant them in coming to the conclusion that the prisoner at the bar had been the cause of her death. The learned connsel then went on to say, that even admitting the identity of the deceased to have been proved, there was nothing to show th.t:t she had met her death by the violence of another, and that it was hiirhly probahle that in a moment of des- peration, caused by her being suddenly acquainted with the fact of the prisoner having been unfaithful to her, she destroyed herself. He betted the jury to recollect that the disgusting and horrible circumstance of the mutilation of the body formed no part of the charge against the prisoner and even if they believe I he did so mutilate it, if they were not at the same tiaw. satisfied that he had previously deprived the deceased of life, it ought not at all to enter into the present inquiry. He submitted that it wns probable that the prisoner, not having the courage to make known the real facts, had been induced to endea- vour to conceal the body, thinking that thereby all inquiry and investigation would be avoided, and that this ought not to be taken as a proof of the prisoner having committed murder. He contended that the prisoner could have had no motive for committing the act. The deceased had no claim upon him, and if he wished to break off his connec- tion with her, be could have done so when he pleased and as the case was involved in entire mystery, and the jury could only form conjectures as to the prisoner's guilt, he contended that they would be quite right in forming a conjecture favourable to the prisoner, and not one adverse to him. He then cited several cases where innocent parties had been convicted upon circumstantial evidence, and he reminded the jury that if they erred by returning an adverse verdic', the error could never be repaired—their verdict would seal the doom of the wretched man at the bar, and if circumstances afterwards arose to show that they were wrong in their decision, they could never reverse the effect of their verdict. The learned counsel went on at some length to remark upon these points, and concluded by expressing his opinion that the jury wnuld pause long before they returned a verdict of guilty against the prisoner upon the evidence that had been adduced. The Attorney-General having waived hIS right of reply, Lord Denman proceeded to sum up the evidence, and he commenced by observing that the attention of the jury would be chiefly dfrected to the two first counts in the indictment, and he wonld tell them that in point of taw, if they believed the death of the deceased to have been occasioned by a sharp instrument. those counts in the indictment would be made eut. As to that portion of the cbarce alleging the death cf the deceased to have been occasioned by poison, there did not appear to be the slightest evidence to support it, and it was theiefore very properly withdrawn from their consideration. The learned judge said he joined with the counsel both far the prosecution and the prisoner, in entreating them to dismiss from their minds all that they had heard out of doors relative to this transaction, and to satisfy themselves beyond all reason. able doubt that the evidence clearly brought home the charge to the prisoner, before they returned the awful verdict of guilty. 'Ihe learned counsel for the prisoner had cited cases wherein tribunals had been deceived by circumstantial testimony, and he considered it was not an improper topic to be brought before the consideration of the jury in a case of this description. They all knew the fallibility of human testimony, and therefore, in a case resting as this did entirely upon circumstantial evidence, they could not be too careful in minutely considering every circumstance, in (,rder to bring their minds to the con- clusion that those circumstances were either unsatisfactory as proof of the guilt of the prisoner, or that they were sn cogent as to exclude any possibility of his innocence and in the latter case, it would be their duty, and a most im- portant duty it was for society, to return a verdict of guilty. The facts alleged against the prisoner appeared to be these :-On the 3d of April, the unfortunate woman, being at the time in perfect health, was seen with the prisoner, for he believed her identify was not disputed, and from that evening she was sceu dive by no human eye, On the 6th, the police having gone to apprehend the prisoner upon some other charge, he appeared very nnxious to prevent any search being ma de in the stable, but on the search beine pe^siste^ in, the trunk nf a female was discovered, and the prisdifter immediately went off, locking the constables in the stable. It also appeared that, on the day following the 3d of April, the prisoner had taken all the clothes worn by the deceased and given them to the witness Butcher. The question then was, did the deceased meet her death by violence ? That she had, appeared to he clearly proved by the scientific gentlemen who had heen examined, and who expressed their opinion that death was occasioned by the severance of the windpipe and the carotid and jueular veins, and by this means almost instantaneously draining the body of blood. It was said that the deceased might have destroyed herself; but of this the jury would judge. It was also said that there was no motive for the prisoner to commit the act imputed to him. They could not tell what motive might operate upon his mind, and it was quite clear that no adequate motive could be assigned for the levoltingand brutal act of dismembering the body after death, and con- suming the limbs by fire. The jury would consider the conduct of the prisoner before and after the melancholy transaction, and they would form their own opinion of his conduct, and the motives that might be supposed to actuate him. It was pr"ve" that some time before the 3d of April the prisoner Good had promised Susan Butcher some things which he sa'd belonged to his wife, and that two days after the death of the deceased he took to her the articles of wearing lipparel the deceased had on when she died. The jury would recollect the circumstances of the-smell in the hame*s-roorn, and the discovery of the burned bones in that place, to which the prisoner alone had access, and they would say whether they could come to any other reasonable conclusion than that he had taken the life of the decexsed- it Was suggested that the deceased destroyed herself, but if that were the cnse, could a man with whom she had been living on friendly and intimate terms for a considerable time be so lost to all proper feeling as to proceed to dismember her body, with- out giving the least airr," or endeavouring to obtain any assistance for her ? They would also recollect what took place at the Spotted Dog, and the remarkable expression made use of by the prisoner to the woman who accompanied him, "that she would not be troubled with that no moreand this they would recollect was only a few days after the death of the deceased. The learned judge then went briefly through the evidence, and told the jury that the case was now with theln they were to decide upon the evidence as to the guilt or innocence of the prisoner. If they felt any doubt- not 1° "nagioary doubt, but a doubt such as any reasonable man might entertain upon these facts—it would be their duty to acquit the prisoner; but if, on the contrary, ihey thought that all the circumstances of the case were inconsistent with his innocence, t::en however painful it ibight be to them, they were called tipon to say by their verdict that he was guilty. The jury retired at about a quarter to eight o'clock, and they were absent nearly half an hour. They then again entered the jury box, and the foreman declared the opinion of the inrv to be that the prisoner was Guiltv. Mr. Clark then asked the prisoner what he had to say why judgment of death should not be passed upon him ? The prisoner made no answer. The Lord Chief Justice then addressed the prisoner to the following effect—" Daniel Good, you have been con- victed upon the clearest evidence of a most foul and wicked murder. Perhaps a case more abhorrent to the feelines of human nature than the present was never pre- sented before a court of justice, and it is a sad example of the consequences of a wicked and vicious course of life. There is no doubt that it is owing to the indulgence of your inclination for one woman after another, that beinz tired of the unhappy deceased, and feeling that you could not enjoy to its full extent, in your views, the fresh attachment you had formed, that you resolved upon des- troying the unhappy woman who was the former object of your affection. Hardly any argument that could be Used would aggravate this case. You coldly calculated, long before the act was committed, upon depriving the unfor- tunate woman of her little property, and h?uding it over to the fresh object of your attachment. Several weeks before the murder, you made a promise of all the deceased's clothes to another, and only a fortnight before you pledged yourself to the young woman Butcher in a much stronger manner. There is no doubt that on the Sunday night you lured the unhappy deceased to your stable intending to take her life, and to hide her afterwards from the eyes of men. That place was entirely under your contiol, and you thought YfJU mÎlrht succeed in disposing of the body unperceived; but although you were watched by no human eye, your proceedings were brought to light in such a manner as to afford a powerful warning to all other crimi. nals, and showed how such crimes might he discovered. It is absolutely necessary that your life should be forfeited to the laws of God and man which you have so grievously offended; and your case will have this aggravation, that you will leave the world unregretted and unpitied by any one. I hope that no Englishman, on the day that will be so fatal to you, will give expression to his feelings of abhorrence at your crime but it is only a proper aggra- vation in your case that you will not leave one behind who will not think a good deed done when your life is put an end to. You are on the brink of another w.rid. and no human being is entitled to say that any fellow-creature will be refused forgiveness for his sins the mercy of God is as great as is your crime, and I entreat you to looSe no time in seeking for pardon from Him alone who can grant it to you. I implore you to make the most of your time, and by a sincere repentance offer some atonement for the awful crime you have committed. You can expect no mercy iu this world, but I hope you may receive it in anothtr. J have now nothing more to do than to puis upon you the sentence of the law, which is, that you. tie taken 10 n place of execution, there to be hanged by the necll until you are dead, aad may the Lord God have mercy upon your guilty soul' When the learneu j"J.re had concluded, the prisoner, who appeared not t e least affected, addressed The Court, atul said, ..are to you and to Almighty God, that I never took I." i.,e of that woman. Susan Butcher is the cause tf that poor woman beug lost; she is the cau-e of it all. When we left (riI, He-Uer's Jane declared that sho would destroy herself." The prisoner then uttered some violent explanations azainst Butcher, and proceeded as follows: I left her in the stable, and she made away with herself. I told her I could not let her sleep in the harness-room, for that the old eardener told everything that occurred to my master. She was very anery with me about Butcher, and declared she would drown herself. I told her she should not fly in the face of God by doing such a thine, and I prevented her oniniz out of the stable. I shook down some hay in the stall where the trunk was found, and told her to stay there till I came back and when I returned, I found her lving dead in the same stall with her throat cut, and a sharp penknife, with which she had done it, lying by her side. She was lying dead before me when I went into the stable, and I did not know what to do in it. I threw the knife over Hamtner- smith-hridee. I went out of the stable and locked the door and did not kno v what to do, hut I afterwards went back and covered her over with hay. On the Monday mornins:, a man of whom I had occasionally bought matches, rantr at the bell, and I t«ld him what had happened, and showed him the body, and asked him what I had better do, ani he said. 1,11 assist you-we'll con- ceal the hody. I offefed him a sovereizn if he would conceal it fir me. and he consented, and he came on the Tuesday morning, and I eave him the axe and the knife, a'1d left him in the harness-room, and locked him in, and told him not to make a noise. lIe cut off her head and limbs while Iicas a?vav, and he told me we must have a fire and burn some of the bndy-that the head could not he concealed, and that it must be burned. He came to the stable about one o'clock on the Tuesday, and he made a fire and burnt the head and the limbs. I declare to God I had nothing to do with it. I gave him a sovereign, and he took away some of the burnt bones, and be was to have come the uext day and fetched the truuk and have thrown it into the river, but he did not come. I took her ear- rings out of her ears and the ring from her finger. It was my wife's wedding.rinar. She was not my wife. I was not married to her. The next day I went to Susan Butcher and gave her the ring, aod the bonnet, and the shawl, and told her what had happened, and she said she was glad of it, and that she was out of the way she kept the cap, the shawl, and the ring, and did not give them to the police- man. I declare to Almighty God, Susan Butcher is the sole cause of all that has happened." The prisoner con- cluded in the following terms:—"Good night all, ladies and gentlemen; 1 have a great deal more to say, but I am so bad I cannot say it." He was then removed from the dock. Mr. Doane said he felt it right to inform the Court that there was no such statements as the prisoner had just made in his brief, and that he (Mr. Dnane) had adopted the line of defence he did from a conviction that it was the only course left him. The Court then adjourned; the trial having lasted 11 hours. A great crowd were in waiting in the Old Bailey to hear the result, and the moment it was known that he was convicted, they uttered a tremendous volley of cheers, and the unhappy wretch was taken back to his cell with the cheers of the multitude ringinl, in his ears. The unfortunate victim of Good's depravity was a native of Myfod, Montgomeryshire. Her father had not, for a period of six years, received a communication from her, or the slightest intimation of where she was. He is a poor, but honest and industrious man.

THE MURDERER GOOD. At the conclusion of the trial on Friday, Good, whose extraordinary explanation ot the discovery of the trunk and fragments of the remains of his victim created so unusual a sensation in the mind of every individual in Court, was removed to the cell in which Greenacre, Courvoisier, and other deeply stained criniinals of his class, had spent the brief period from condemnation to execution. In his progress thither the culpi it walked with a careless gait, exclaiming in the hearing of the turnkeys who accompanied him, I have stated nothing but the truth. I have said all I know." On arriving in the condemned cell he sat down apparently unnerved, and in a few minutes after, the usual supper or prison allow- ance, gruel and bread, was brought to him, of which he ate with a keen appetite. He shortly after retired to rest, and slept soundly until three on Saturday morning, when he awoke, and asking some questions, merely as to the state of the weitlier, of the night-men or keepers in his eel!, relapsr-d into a sound sleep, and did not awake until seven. He shortly afterwards got up, and was attended by the Rev. Mr Carver, the ordinary, to whom he paid respectful attention. At a later period in the morning the cell of Good was visited by Air. Cope, the governor, and the culprit, on seeing him, commenced exclaiming that he was an innocent man; that the state- ment he had made to the Court and jury the preceding evening was perfectly correct; that deceased had cut her throat, like Castlereagh, as he had mentioned and that the "match-tnan" had consented to conceal the body Kir a sovereign. This he continued to repeat several times, and supposing his versi )n of the frightful affair would produce a favourable feeling towards him, he indulged in it most freely. On Friday morning, before the trial. Mr. Bucknell, Good's solicitor, feeling the importance of the case he had to defend, waited on his client in his cell, and entreated him not on any account to say a word either during or after the trial. The object of Mr. Bucknell was this- that according to the evidence set forth in the depositions there was not a single case on record where an individual was executed on circumstantial evidence so inconclusive as that against the prisoner; and if, therefore, he only held his tongue, it was the intention of Mr. Bucknell, in the event of the prisoner being found guilty, to present a memorial to the Crown for its clemency on his behalf, on account, as has been before stated, of the inconclusiveness of the evidence as to the identity of the body. THE ExFCUTro-i OF THE MURDERER, GOOD.—Mon- day npxt, is fixed as the period of his earthlv existence. He adheres to the statement made on his trial, notwith- standing the inconsistencies and contradictions with which it abounds and, judging from his present demeanour, it appears likely that he will pass out of the world with the same hadened indifference both to his crime and to its consequences by which his conduct has been hitherto characterised.

TRIAL AND ACQUITTAL OF MARY GOOD AND I RICKARD GAMBLE. The Judges entered the Central Criminal Court at ten o'clock IRst Saturday morning, and Mary Good, charged on two indictments-in one, with being an accessory after the fact in the murder of Jane Jones, alias Good; in having feloniously harboured Daniel Good, and in the other with having received certain property, well knowing the same to have been stolen—was put to the bar. Mr. Ballantyne appeared to defend the prisoner, having received hi* brief from certain influential persons connected with the Corporation. Mr. Horry had been engaged by the friends of the prisoner, but gave way to Mr. Ballantyne. —The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. The Attorney-General then rose to address the jury. The prisoner stood charged with feloniously harbouring Daniel Good, who was yesterday convicted of the murder ot Jane Jones, alias Jane Good. It was of great im- portance, said the learned Attorney-General, that all persons should clearly Understand that it was a great offence against the laws of the country to encourage criminals in their transgressions or to attempt to defeat the administration of justice by harbouring, protecting, or assisting any persons whatever who were charged with great crimes and it was essential, in protecting the public against such offences, that every one to whom they were traced should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The prisoner Mary Good bore the name of the prisoner Daniel Good, and her defence was, that she and the pri- soner Daniel Good stood in the relation of man and wife. 'I n cases of ordinary felony, and indeed in every case, the law gave the greatest indulgence to the love and affection which a wife was supposed to bear towards her husband, and it was no crime 'for a wife to afford that protection to her husband, even if he stood charged with a crime of the deepest dye, which his situation raight seem to require at the hands of her who was sworn to love, honour, and obey. His learned friend (Mr. Ballantyne) had communicnted the circumstances which he was in a situation to prove with respect to the marriage of the prisoner to Daniel Good. It appears that there was every reason to believe that some marriace, whether a strictly legal one or not, did take place many years ago in Ireland, where the registers were extremely defective, and where the absence of that important proof of the marriage tie was but too common. There was abundant proof that Daniel Good and Mary C^od had been represented for many years as man and wife, anti under these circumstances, although there was some doubt whei^?1" the marriage could be strictly proved, he thought be was only exercising a fitving discretion in the performance of his public duty -as the prisoner at the bar had acted under the serious and sincere imprPSsioD that she was the wife of Daniel Good, and under tii.'jt con- viction she had adopted the course of conduct which she had pursued-if be came to the conclusion that she was not a fit object for a prosecution. Under these circum-¡ stances he (the Attorney- General) did not intend to purs?l; the matter any further against the prisoner, or to offer any evidence iu the case. It would, therefore, be the duty of the jury to acquit the prisoner. Mr. Ballantyne thanked the learned Attorney-General for the generous course which he had taken iu reference to his client. Baron Alderson shortly addressed the jury, and directed them to acquit the prisoner, intimating at the same time, that it would, in any future case in which the same excuse did not exist, be found necessary to follow the offence with the most severe punishment. Ft)r it was one of the greatest misfortunes of a neighbouring country, that a practice prevailed of attempting to shelter aad screen offenders from the just penalties of the law. The prisoner then went through the mere form of a trial upon the second indictment, for receiving the property knowing it to be stolen but no evidence being offered she was acquitted on this charge also. The prisoner Rickard Gamble was also acquitted on the indictment of receiving and both individuals were then restored to their liberty. The appearance of the Court presented a striking contrast with that of yesterda* being this morning almost deserted. Very little interest was manifested for the fate of the alleged accessories.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER.—Ellen Thomas,aged26, spin- ster, was charged with cuttingand wounding John Wilks. The prisoner, in consequence, as it was alleged, of some I trouble, had been drinking, and had kept herselt In a con- stant state of intoxication for four or five weeks previously to the 2:)d of AprJ. On that day she sent the child, John Wilks, for some beer and gin, uf which she made him ) partake. The boy then went into his mother's room, | both the parties being resident in the same house in Drury-lail e. Shortly afterwards the prisoner sent her boy tor some more drink, and when he brought it to the room slit: locked the door and bid hi.n sit down. She then desired hun to drink. He refused at first, but she pressed him to take some gin, and told him to take offhis neck handkerchief for fear it wonld choke him. Shortly after, she said she wanted to speak to him, and told him to come over to her. She drew him over close to ber, and making a sudden cut at him, inflicted a frightful gash upon his left cheek. The boy pushed her from him and ran to the (Ioor, but found it fastened. The prisoner fdUowed, and catching him round the neck with one hand, cut his throat with a razor which she held in the other. The buy's rnotlit-io hearing his streams, burst open the door, and found the prisoner struggling with him, andstill trying to cut his throat. Mr. Howarth called some witnesses to show that her character, when sober, was that of a quiet, gentle person. The jury returned a verdict of" Guilty." The learned Judge sentenced her to imprisonment, with hard labour, for three years. MUHDER IN IRELAND.—The Llrmrick Chronicle con- < tains the particulars of a murder perpetrated near Cooghla, county Limerick, near Lord Stanley's estate, where the victim, a fine young man, named Walsh, was found bathed in blood, lying in a cart, the horse attachrd to which was grazing on the road side. The skull was beaten in over the eyes. The pohce parties have succeeded in arresting a notorious character, whose clothes bear marks of recent ¡ blood stains. —won——aa—o———>»

I THE ROYAL ACADEMY EXHIBITION. I [From the Globe.] The Royal Academy has opened its exhibition of works I of art, and crowds of aH ranks and conditions have since thronged its rooms during the period in which it remains open daily. The walls are, of course, completely filled, and the number of works exhibited reaches a fair average but there is not a single prominent and outstanding picture of the whole to mark the yeir. In all the rooms, except that devoled to Architecture, we have an endless variety of portraits :If all sorts of faces and notorieties, good, bad, and middling- The same passion for face- making has gone down to the sculpture room, which looks more like a phrenoiL)gist,3, studio than an apartment appropriated to the exibition of works ot art. This indi- cates an unhealthiness of tone rahr in the public taste than in the artists themselves tor those who live to please must please to live, whether actors, painters, or I sculptors. With this brief preparatory censure we pro- ceed to notice, No. 108. Bels)iazzarbebol(ling theliind-i,-riting tipon the wall of the Palace;" H. Bough ton.- W e turned from the catalogue to the wall, thinking we should find some- thing in rivalry ot Ma. tin, but saw only a vulvar t' ce staring out of a small square piece of panel, fit, and IInlv fit, for a public-house sign. How it got admission at all is a wonder. 156. Horses pursued by Wolves;" T. Woodward.— A scene of fearful reality, spiritedly painted and vividly brought before the imagination of the spectator. 172. "Hymen Burning the Arrows of Cupid; G. Patten, A.-A nice picture, in which the allegory is well preserved. 182. Snow Storm—steam-boat off a harbour's mouth, making signals in shallow water, and going by the lead. The author (I) was in this storm on the night the Ariel left Harwich;" j. M. W. Turner, R.A.-We have copied at length the description in the catalogue, without which it would be impossible to tell what the artist intended when painting this pictute. We can call it nothing short ot pjint run mad. Year after year Mr. Turner exhibits these insane productions of his pencil, in spite of the wonderful unanimity" with which public opinion repro- bates them he goes on doggedly incorrig-ible stiB at his daubing work, with a pertinacity deserving, at all events, of approval for its very obstinancV of repetition. 201. "The Battle of Preston Pans, Sept 21, 1745 W. A'len, R.A.—A noble subject, worthy of our artist's pencil, and painted with great vigour. The mingled groups are managed with much skill, and the contra"- afforded by the calm quiet of nature in the background, while man is murdering his fellow man in front, points the moral of the whole story 402 and 403. "The DAUGHTERS of EA It L CAW- DOR and the Daughters of the Count de Flahault;" Mrs. J. Robertson.-We are glad to find from these sketches, finished, however, in her own powerful itrartner, that Mrs. Robertson has returned from Russia, where she had been for some time on a professional visit to the Court of the Emperor Next year we may anticipate from her pencil things to shame the whol e Academy, and from what we have had the opportunity of seeing, are sure slie will not disappoil-t us. 42-5. Portraits of LIEUT.-COLONEL THOMAS WOOD, M.P., and two other Gentlemen of the same Family, as they appeared at the review in Hyde Park immediately after the coronation of Queen Victoria;" J. Lillt-y -As a tamily picture, this, like all Mr. Lilley's portraits, is invaluable, nor is it less so as a work of art; the management of the horses and human figures exhibits great mastery of the art on the part ot the painter. Mr. Lilley has another portrait here (434), that of Lord Bloomfield, painted, we believe, for the Artillery Com- pany, and intended to be placed in the barracks at Woolwich, which is a noble work of art; indeed, both these pictures arc sufifcient to elevate Mr. Lilley at once to the very highest rank as a portmit painter. 519. "The Earl of Cardigan;" F. Grant.—The most prominent picture in the room, staring you in the face as you enter, and compelling one to ask, "Who are you?" It is painted with a great deal of pretension, and is a good likeness. The horse, however, is no great shakes. 556. Heroes of Waterloo," J. P. Knight, A.—This pictut e represents the Duke of Wellington receiving his distinguished guests on the anniversary of Waterloo, and contains 29 portraits, besides that of the Duke himself. It is wholly as a record of the visible presentments of the individuals painted that it possesses any merit, for as a work of art it has, from the necessity of th" subject itself, little or no value. The monotony of the scarlet dreses is finely relieved by the hussar uniform of the Marquis of Anglesea, whose manly form and dignified bearing prove him truly one of nature's undeniable noble-men. The portraits, at least, of such its are known to the writer of these remarks, are strikingly like, and will be valuable by-and-bye, when death shall have gathered the heroes to the common lot of all-the dust from which they sprung.

GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR THE WggK. The late rains I)ave fallen rn,st oppol'turit-ly tin this part of the country, at least), and nave put the ground into excellent conditio" for planting, which is now the principal business to be attended 10. It will be well, therefore, to u.«e every exertion in turning to agood account a more favourable opportunity ili n generally occurs. As in a flower-garden so much of its beauty and pleasing effect depends upon the taste- ful blending of the various colours, couib.ned with an arlistical arrangement of the plaiiis according to their respectivebeigbts and season of flowering, these points should be most particularly attended t in plallting this, however, is a subject which uiurht previously to have occupied the mind of the gardener, ati(? nothing should now remain to be done but the oratire part of the busiucr-&

UlARETl, WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN MARKET. ( From the Ma k ffine Express.) The fears entertained som2 time ago, that the growing crops might be injured by the then dry state of the weatner, have been happily dissipated, the face of the country having within the last fortnight been refreshed by a plentiful tali of moisture. Spring corn of every description now presents a healthy and vigorous appear- ance, and in ail those localities where the wheat was even tolerably well got in, a very decided improvement has also bsi-n wrought: we are sorry to sav, however, that in many districts the seed received so indifferent a bed in autumn, that it either perished in the ground, or was | subsequently destroyed by the slug: where this has un- fortunately proved the case, there is either a total or partial want of plant, which no weather, however fine, can remedy. On the other hand, it must be remarked that a considerable breadth of land originally intended tor barley has this spring been appropriated to wheat, and on the whole sufficient has, we think, been sown to produce an average crop. Predictions on this subject thus early in the season must always, however, be entirely speculative, but with a fine summer and aus- picious autumn the yield might, we believe, notwith- standing the unfavourable manner in which the greater part of the autumn sowing was completed, nearly come up to that of average years. It becomes daily morr evident that the stocks of wheat in the hands of the farmers are unusually small: the strongest possible proof of this is, in our opinion, given by the continued decrease in the deliveries in all the agricultural districts. The last return of the sales made in the towns from which he averages are taken is only 63.077 qrs. against 74,623 qrs. the week previous, a falling off of nearly twenty per ceiTt.; and this at a period when farmers had (spring being quite completed) less out-door work to engage thsir attention, than before, with the fear of the foreign wi. "^1 being entered for consumption under the new bill as strong inducement to thrash out freely. Under these ci.cjmstances we feel confident that the estimated amount o. the deficiency of the quantity of English wheat reina.ii,ing in the country, which we "eutured to lay before gclr, readers a fortnight ago, was by no means exaggerated; a:Ja we are still of opinion tliat, unless importeis of foreign their wheat much more un t ess importer o f fore i "Tt freely than they have hitherto done', there is a far greater probability of prices advancing than receding from the -v i llc i a l Irk*t-'§ present point. At ail the leading r, Iv lmr*eW held during the week the trade has not 011.v mai.ntai.ned a deci edly firm tone, but at many of the ng towns fine samples of English wheat have actually riser? aboat Is. per qr. in value, the quantity brought forward ;ot having been adequate to the demand. At Liverpool, on Tuesday, thFre was rather a numerous attendance, there being many distant buyers in addition to the town purchasers. Fine wheat, whether English or duty. paid oreign, met a free sale at fully the currency of that day nnight; but there was little disposition to take the lienor qualitips, and such were obtainable on rather easier terms. Of bonded several cargoes changed hands, at prices varying from 5s. 6d. to 7s. 9d. per 70lbs., the former being for good Egyptian, and the latter for fine ylIow S¡ettl. F lour ??. ?''? to the release of most of t? he Canadian and seme portion of the foreign out of bond, easier to buy, at an abatement of Is. per barrel: however, the bakers supplied themselves freely. On Friday, there was not a great deal doing in any article, still quite as much money was asked as earlier in the week. Of flour in bond a few small lots were sold at 27s. 6d. to 28s. per barrel. At Birmingham, on Thursday. there was very little farmers' wheat on gale, and slightly enhanced rates were obtained for the finer kinds. A good deal of business had been done there during the week in free foreign, at rather full prices, 8s. Id. to 85. 3d. having been paid for French, and 8s. 4d. per 621bs. for Ancona. The Bristol market was pretty well attended oh Thursday, but, owi" g to the finnleS$ of the holders of free foreign, W!10 relsed to submit to lower prices, and the scarcity  .isint!ss    quotatIOns u:iderwent no matt-.rial change.
