An inauest was held on the body at Goresbridge by William Malior , Esq , County Coroner , when the following verdict was returned : — " That said infant child was found drowned in a dike near Goresbridge , on th « 22 d instant , tied up wifh stone in ajinen bag , and we iind a verdict of wilfu ! murder against Jam ° s and Margaret Murphy .

      Tns Mismrious and Horrible Amm at Chat , ham . —This case was brought before the magistrates of Rochester , on Friday * by Mr . Steddy , the surgeon , at Chatham , who produced four small pill-boxes and a small paper packet , containing the ashes rescued by Richardson from his coke-oven tin Monday , and supposed to be those of a new-born infant . Mr , Steddy stated that he had examined those substances , and found them to consist of pieces of coke and coals , and pieces of stockings or knitted substances like stockings—a small portion of which he took fro be net , such as babies' caps were made of . _ There were two descriptions of knitted substances in these ashes , one finer , the other coarser ; also another piece of fabric , which he examined through a microscope .

      and found it to be twill ; likewise a substance resembling powdered bones , the organisation of which had been entirely destroyed by the great heat of the fur « nace . He should be led to suppose , from the fabrics he had examined , the substance was the ashes of n child . - But , upon being questioned by one of the magistrates , he said he was not quite sure they were the ashes of human bones . Thus far , thecircum . stances of the case still remain a mystery . The magistrates , however , gave strict directions to the officers to be vigilant in their endeavours to trace it out , ifpigsible . Crim . Con . in France . —A crira . con . cause , a rarity ! n France , was on Thursday brought before the Tribunal of Correctional Police . The plaintiff was a M . Daverge , and the defendants were Madame

      Davergeand her paramour ,-M . Frederick Villeret . It appeared from the evidence that M . and Mine . Daverge were married in 1830 , and at first lived in perfect harmony , neither having any property . la 1833 Mme . Daverge came into possession of a legacy of 12 , 000 francs . With this money , M . Daverge , unfortunately for himself and for his wife , entered into business at Nantes ; but at the end of three years he had not only lost the 12 , 000 francs but having incurred debts which he could not pay , was declared bankrupt . Knowing tha he was unable to exhibit a fair balance sheet to his creditors , he fled to Belgium , but was brought back , under the extradition Treaty asafraudulent bankrupt , and imprisoned at Valeucennes . Here his wife joined him , and showed her attachment by contriving and aiding his escape , and then remaining to meet the consequences . After some time arrangements were made with the

      creditors , and in ! 8 i 3 lie returned to hisown country , and was restored to his civil rights . In the course " of this year the husband and wife quarrelled , the lattee having reproached her companion in strong terms with desertion , leaving her for whole days and nights alone . A scparatina took place , Daverge angaging to allow his wife the moderate sum of 600 francs ayear towards her maintenance . He then went to setk his living in Germany . During bis absence Madame Daverge entered the service of M . Villeret as his housekeeper , and an illicit intercourse tcok place betweed them , and gave grounds for the present proceedings . All the above circumstances having been proved , the Court , sentenced Madame Daverge to be imprisonod for eight months , and M . Villeret for four months , condemning him also to pay a fine of 100 frans , and 500 francs to Daverge byway of damascs .

      The Convict Smith . —TIio wretched convict , John Smith , was visited nn Saturday'by Mr . Alderman Sidney , and other civic functionaries , who are adopting strenuous measures to obtain a commutation of bis sentence . He is confined in the same cell where Blakesley , Courvoisier , and Greenacre spent their last days . Some members of his family have besu permitted to see him , but any detailed " representation of what transpired must be manifestly incorrect , a « the prison authorities maintain the most guarded silence , in obedience to the order of the late Secretary of State . It may be added , however , that the convict perseveres in his statement that he was goaded to commit the crime by the deceased . Throughout Saturday three petitions were lying at

      the Guildhall Coffee-house for signature , and up to four hundred names append ed to them , and amongst them the respected signatures of Air . Samuel Gurney , the Quaker ; Messrs . Swaine , Booth , and Co ., the distillers ; and a number of eminent merchants . The document will be presented in three or four davs to the Home Secretary by Alderman Sidnev , the Sheriffs , and other municipal officers . The " most sanguine expectations are entertained that the wretched man ' s life will be spared , although no hope is held out to him . It is stated that the Premier , as one of the representatives of the City of London ! and the other members , will be solicited to add the weight of their influence to the endeavour to obtain a commutation of the sentence .
