[From the London Economist.] It seems probable that on the reassembling of Parliament some effort will be made to deal with the crime ot child murder. It is not anew crime, nor is it certain that it has greatly increased ; but it has recently be come very obvious, and it is the habit of Eng lish people to deal with evils only when they are forced on public attention. The case of Charlotte Winsor, the terrible statements of Dr L&nkester, who asserts persistently that there must be, from the records of his court, 12,000 women in London who have murder ed their children, and some calculations, certainly inexact and probably exaggerated, as to the connection between the crime and some causes of death which appear too fre quently in the returns, have shocked the public conscience ; and though the public mind is still far from decided on any particu lar course, it is still improbable that tbe ses sion will pass over without some new effort. We shall be told to rely on education and gradual improvement, and the rest of those vague phrases by which a terribly over-con scious age tries to make itselt believe that progress is not a tide which ebbs and flows, but a rushing stream. It is this waste of power in vague talk which we want to avoid, and we, therefore, call the attention of sen sible men to tbe figures compiled some time since by Mr. W. G. Lumley, secretary of the Poor Law Board. It is as demonstrable as anything in social statistics can be that ifiegi ’uaev is not a special English characteristic. I lat’it ia not on the increase, that itl? as fixed a quantity in proportion to population aa the number of suicides, that it cau be affected by legislation in a certain direction, and that education and civilization, so far from era dicating, tend tightly, but visibly to increase it. We will give the facts which* in our judgment, support each of those assertions. First. England stands fifth in Europe in the scale of morality, the only countries which show a better return being Sardinia, Hol land. Spain, Switzerland, and Tuscany, and in all these, except Holland and Switzerland, there are believed to be many more adul terine births, and at least as much general vice as in England. The following is a com parison with the countries most like our own ,u creed and social character ' Proportion of Illegitimates to Children. England 8.5 Denmark 9.351 Hanover 9.89 Mssia 8.44 Sweden 9.39 Saxony 15.98 England, therefore being Protestant countries the best. Moreover, illegitimacy does not increase, but if anything slightly de clines, though the returns we quote present the usual mysterious phenomenon that vice hears an unvarying relation to numbers : Proportion p. c.

Strik ing off the metropolis, in which the ratio of education is very high and that of illegitima cy very low—a tact, unfortunately, not due to virtue, but to the prevalence of the great sinol great cities—we find that “in Cum berland, Westmoreland, Hereford, ihe East and North Riding of Yorkshire, the iliegiti many is very high, and so is the standard of education, and the prudence in marrying But in Monmouthshire, Cornwall, Lan cashire, Staffordshire, the education ia low, tbe illegitimacy is also low, but there is a high proportion of early marriages. In Nor folk, however, the state of education as re gards the men is far below the average, though as regards tbe women i: is above it. There the number of men who marry under age is rather above the average, but that of the women is below it. This county has long been distinguished for the high rate ot legitimacy.” Education, therefore, by de veloping the fear of poverty, postpones the age of marriage and consequently increases the temptation to vice, a result which, could we collect statistics from the professional classes alone, would be proved to be an al most unvarying law. No influence in the way of packing or density of population has any appreciable effect, some of the thinnest districts being among the worst, and Scot land, which is much less packed than Eng- land, being much lower in the scale of th a form of morality. Indeed, so slight is ar y recognizable influence, yet so permanent: re the ratio* in some localities, that the reei - trar general ia half inclined to attribute the differences to race, and believe that there is moie illegitimacy among Danes than 9axon« and »o on, a somewhat far-fetched theory ’ Should these figures prove, on inquiry to he supported by those in the latest returns they must be taken to point directly to cer tain conclusions of ereat value to the lecis ture. One is, that It is hopeless to think oi extinguishing child murder by extinguishing illegitimacy, that condition being rather more frequent as civilization advances. It is also hopeless to attack it by laws for the preven tion of crowding, which has clearly nothing to do with it. No legislative movomen' in fact, has any effect unless it brings home to the roan and the woman the heavy penalty which may follow upon indulgence, and it is not proved that an addition t j these penal ties may not be followed by an addition to the number of murders. It is, therefore, es sential, if we would act efficiently, to’act upon the mother after the child has been born, either by making coercion steadier and more severe, or by relieving her of the care of her child, or by relaxing the rules which forbid parish aid for the keep of the child while the mother continues at work. Each of these plans has its own very grave drawbacks. It Is vary difficult to apply Bteady coercion while juries are so unwilling U>'_convict, and while the public secretly feels its conscience shocked at the impunity con ceded to the father while mioh a heavy pen alty is exacted from the mother It is equal ly difficult to relieve the mother of her babe without decreasing the restraints on licen tiousness-restraints, it must be added, as necessary on women as on men—and with . I,™** among the married, to whom k ar e a heavy burden, a savage idea p 1 hey are punished for being chaste. No poorbouM relieves th< m of their bebee. And lastly, a separate allowance for an itlegid mate child, if granted out of tbe “house, will in the end make large illegitimate fami lies a source of profit, and restore the worst abuse of tbe old poor law. The single ob ject, therefore, must be to discover some p'an which, while diminishing the burden upon the mother, shall diminish no sexual restraint —a problem the solution of which has taxed for years the wisest heads on the continent, anti, if taken up seriously here, will probably overtax ours. Professional Child Murder—Uorrlblf Re velations. [From the London Telegraph, Aug. 1.) When the Registrar General compiles his next list ot the trades and professions ot the United Kingdom he must include infanticide among them. The trial of Mary Jane Harris and Charlotte Winsor, which has just heeu concluded at Exeter, discloses the appalling fact that, in tbe country, it is a regular amt rather lucrative branch of industiy ; while, since the mortality of inlants in London arid the great towns is absolutely awful, it wouid be too much io hope that the rural districts have a monopoly of the deadly vocation. Tbe case to wbicb we refer was heard at the last assizes, before Baron Channel, and tbe jury were discharged without a yerdict. Tbe prisoners were placed upon trial again at Exeter, last week, and tor the purposes ol justice the younger one, Harris, was allowed to pass from ihe (lock to the witness box.— Circumstances already told strongly against Winsor ler tbe murder of Harris’ child, it bad been placed in her care ; it had disap peared ; it had been found by the roadside, dead from suffocation or exposure, and wrap ped in a newspaper; while the explanations given by the elder woman were obviously lalss. Hut tbe testimony was incomplete, and must have remained so if the mother of the murdered child had not been accepted as Queen's evidence. So soon as she stepped into the witness box the elder prisoner burst into an agony of alarm, and this is the dread ful story which the younger narrated ; —She gave birth to an illegitimate child in her mis tress' house at Torquay last October ; when it was two months old she wished to put t out to nurse, as she was changing her si tuition, and Winsor undertook tie charge: but on what terms the conversation between them on the road to the little cottage where the child murderess plied her trade will show. Winsor beguiled the journey by saying that for three pounds she had “put one away” for a girl confined at her house Harris asked how; Winsor explain"'! tbat she had “put her finger UDder the jugular vein.” She had “stifled one,” she said, uuu mrown it into Torbay, and tbe sea washed it all to pieces; and one she “put away” for her sister, , tho price of that job being j£4. Mrs. Winsor grumbled agt ol deal, however, amid these revelations, at the dishonesty of her clients—they did’nt always pay up. When Harris asked if she was not afraid, Winsor replied, “To with you! it’s doing goodand she added that “she would help any one who woulrlnt split upen her.” On taking leave ot Harris, Winsor said, “I II do whatever lies in my power sot your child," to which the mother responded, “all right.” After a time Winsor, with the view of opening serious negotiations, briugs the baby to its mother at her new place, she wanted £l> ; suggested that Harris should get it from the father of the child; “but get it any how else, " said she, and “1 11 put them all by for thoc, if thee hast forty." At this time the mother appears undecided about the business; but on another visit Winsor declines to keep the child alive over the quarter, and so it is settled tbat “she might if she liked.” As to any difficulty, the child murderess laughs at that; she “has made it all right with ber husband, and she can get some stuff at the chemist's.” Science, however, was not invited to as sist. On the Bth of February, when the baby was four months old, Harris repaired to tbe prisoner's cottage, outside Torquay. The child was tied in its chair, laughing aud crowing with a granddaughter who lived with tbe Winsor?, and who was much attach ed to it. So Selina Pratt is sent out upon a long errand, and the murderesses debate over the poor little victim, like poulterers in a chicken yard. Winsor didn't “do it” be fore, because Harris must bear a part, or she might “tell on” her friend. The mother pledges herself to secrecy; and then tho question arises who is to “do it.” The little one, tied in its chair, was doubtless chuck ling and crowing at the pair of them all the while. As the most experienced, Winsor undertakes the task: and here nothing but the grisly simplicity and minuteness of the mother’s evidence can do justice to the story I asked her “how she would do it.” Bite said, .“Put it between the bed-ticks. She then took the child into the girt Fruit 's bed room. I did not go. She stayed ten min utes; theu came back without the baby.— She asked me to look in; she said it would soon die. 1 looked ip, and saw tiie bed, but no child. The child did not cry. The pris oner's husband came in, and asked, ‘Where's the boy 7* She said her aunt had been nnd taken it away. He said, 'Oh.' She brought him a pail, aud he fastened tbe handle. I asked him where he was going with the pall. He said up to the wood.— He went away, and the prisoner said to me, ‘Did you hear the child cry?' I said ‘No.’ She said, ‘I did, and I w«« afraid my husband would hear it.’ The gi: i Pratt came back and stayed a abort time, but was sent out again by the prisoner to letch some buns. The girl went out, aud the pris oner said she must make haste, as her girl would soon be back. She went out of ihe 100 m and came back with the baby. It was dead. Sbe undressed it, aud we went into the bed-room and opened a box. 1 took out the things it contained. She wrapped the child up in newspapers and then she put it into the box. I put down the lid, and she locked it and put the key into her pocket. Pratt came home, and the prisoner told her that Mary's aunt had been aud taken away little Tommy, and put red socks on it. i bad given ber a piece of carpet, which is tire cm iu which the child was found.” After this there was some difficulty about the disposal of the body, and a good deal of haggling about shillings and sixpences on account. Mrs Wiusor appears to have kept ‘it under a hatch, quite like a dead rabbit; but meantime another baby's body was picked up, and trade seems to have been lively; for the murderess mentioned that she had an ‘order’ from Plymoth from a girl ‘she had done it for before,’ who was ‘look ing to be confined,’ and offered £i to be ‘ta ken in.’ Good Mistress Wiusor would not entertain the proposal, because ‘if she had been honest,’ remarked this rigid moralist, ‘she would have been paid in the first place.’’ By this time ‘there was such au air’ with Harris’ little charge that it wasn't safe to take it by train; so she would go with it to the moor. To the moor accordingly she went; she laid parcel away, tied up with worsted ; it was found ; the body was iden tified ; end Mrs. Charlotte Winsor will never do a brisk trade again in babies, for she is sentenced to death, and will certainly be hanged. . the Imperial feasts in Mexico, says a cor respondent, have been many and gorgeona. The diamonds worn were of an almost fabu lous price. The Mexican ladies are cele brated for their jewels. It is nothing uncom mon for a lady to own twenty thousand dollars of diamonds and pearls. They have a passion tor pearls, and nowhere, not even In the courts of Europe, are such magnificent ones seen. The famous black pearls from Lower California are almost as expensive as diamonds and as beautiful as opals. The Empress tries to wear the Mexican mantilla, which it requires Spanish blood to carry well, and is said to carry it aa gracefully as fto Indian would a boouet. Charles 8.
