PARIS, Wanarensr affair of the Cioi..ititortionnel is still the univer sal theme. It was manifest that the second article of p r . Cnon was calculated still more than the first to afteml the Elysee. Accordingly, the blow which he road to challenge has been dealt upon his journal, ahich may now at any moment be suspended for two imct i i . by a simple &erre of the minister of police. u r ,,, u ,„ipinions are afloat as to the motive of this war httaten the government and its chief supporter is the press. one version represents M. Veron as gn atly chilled at the design of establishing the or upon a new and cheaper footing, which wouhl of counw inflict great injury upon the Gosh . - ' and the other papers. It was intended, I thick I mentioned at the time this project was first phi to be entertained, to give the management of the 310 % lt. nacos. to M. Uranier do Cassagnac, and to furnish it with leading articles. Veron, it is said, b e ing rib deed that the best feather in his wing should not be plucked out to be stuck into a rival retsina. took means to compromise Uranier by cans hi' the insertion of that passage in the second Itch 3un article plait drew down the disavowal of the L , 04,t. tir. But at this moment it seems more pro bable than ever that the cheap Moniteur will be set afloat under the auspices of Uranier, notwithstanding the manoeuvre of Veron, which has quite broken down and brought the Cunstitutionnel to the brink of penlition. The fact is that the doctor seems altogether to hive miscalculated his own importance, and to have alienated and disgusted the lilysk by his overweening conceit. If he should persist in his defiance the Considutionwel will be Crushed; and 1 am informed that negotiations have been already set on rout with the great rival paper to make it the semi-otlicial organ of th e government. These overtures I hear have Is en made through the mediation of M. de I mete'. formerly ambassador, and M. de Lavalette, who is said to have considerable influence with the For u moment it was thought that the mi tis!ry w.. 111,1 go to pieces upon this same Veron fps For M. :t bbatt ucci, the keeper of the seals, is ~tn , aylt opposed to the susension of the Constilit ti..m., which it is said was debated yesterday in a mini-shrill council ; and it is reported that this mi nister will give in his resignation if that extreme step b. taken. The resignation of M. de Target is al ,tkol of as imminent. No change or cabinet will. however, in all probability take place before the end of the legislative session. Too .1t,„,/, ,r publishes as follows a second warning. ve..ich has been served upon the Coast/to hown / : Th M rural Police,—Seeing Article 32 of the Ore4ll,f th,rve on the press, dated the lith February, ci a the artieli published be the Coositettaionnel , th June, INI2, commencing by these words—" A tannin:. • and tinishinu by these words " fen binding us Laval, tut," the woad article, being signed Dr. L Yr . I • i ruse that the said article persists in the affirma tion ot the st iteme,t which called forth the warning given pot. rd ,y to the mine journal, the C'weetalutionnel Urd, rs.—Art. I. According to the terms of Art. 32 of the orzamic dec-ee, a second warning iv given to the journal Cooslefssfoonnel. in the person of MM. thiamin, responsi bfe vti , or, mod Viten, who signed the article shove indi. sated .trt. 2. The prefect of police is charged with the estetitimi of the present ordi r. " Done at Paris, the Nth June. .• De MAVIMO,AiSter of General Polite." The effect of this second warning is to give to the government the power of suspending, and even sup r'ressinw• the journal. Article :12 of the Law on the , decreed on the 17th of February, 1'432, says: A journal may be suspended by a ministerial decision, area when it has not been the object of judicial condemns bon, hut, after two warnings, with the motives assigned, and fora period which shalt not timed two months. A journal may be suppressed either after a legal or adminis trative •ta•pco.ion, er as a invo.urc of general security, but by a e,al dire, of the Pre‘ident of the Republic. This warning dues not appear in the Cmestitutionnel. In fact, I bear that a message having been sent to Dr. Veron, who gave yesterday a great dinner at Auteuil, it was too late for insertion. The Generals Mignon and Daumas, who were to have dined with the doctor, sent excuses._ 'file menaces held out by the French government to correspondents of the London newspapers have caused a good deal of sensation here, which I doubt not will tie echoed on the other side of the Channel. In fact, the official notitication to a correspondent that he will be expelled from France, if his p aper report false news concerning France, or bestow Ranh 'pellets upon the government, is a very serious step, , sad, if executed, would undoubtedly become a grave latcruatioual question. In the meantime one can hardly admire the generosity of a government that threatens a foreigner living under its hospitality with the loss of his position for an offence which he Cannot prevent. It is much like pitching a lodger I Cut of the window of a house from which the troops have been fired on. It is considering a correspond eat as a hostage for the good behaviour et his paper. Another correspondent has seen M. Latour•Demoulin to-day, and informs me that his tone seems to be somewhat softened. Still the coca mui.hation has been the same. This correspondent, like the two others who saw the director of the press at the ministry of police yesterday, has been menaced with expulsion unless his paper ceases to publish false news concerning France, and adopt a more res pectful tone towards the head of the French state. At the sitting of the Corps Legislatif to-day a great many numbers applied for leave of absence, some for five. others for six and ten days, and one member asked for fifteen days. The leave was granted in every instance. M. Billault then repeated the exhortation which seems to have produced so little .effect, against applying for leave of absence, on account of the ins tort,un hnsiness likely to be brought before the house. The absence of Dr. Veron, hitherto a punctual atten dant of the sittings, was a subject of much comment in private conversation. The business was com ments d by M. Billault reading a communication from the Minister of State, informing him that the Minister of Public Instruction had made some alter ations in the budget of his department, and that it had therefore been necessary to submit a new bud get. so fur as related to that ministry, for the wino tion of the house. M. Sabath said that, not to lees time. be immediately sent down the new budget to the committee. He then announced the presentation of a hill 14 the cession by the state of the Bois de Boulogne to the city of Paris upon certain conditions, ef which the principal one was that the Bois should be p. 'emony maintained as a public promenade, and that two millions of franca should be laid out by the cite in improvements within the next four years. Th. hal was sent for examination to the bureaux. N. Billault then observed that some members of a committee upon local bills had lately applied to him for some documents relating to them. It was not to him but to the government that all such appleations should be addressed. On the order of the day being called fur the discussion of the bill for the .1. t,nitivc settlement of the accounts of 1449, no member rose to speak, and the 'event articles were voted without discussion. The general result of the detini:ive budget for 11419 is: inclo.ive of the excess of n4ituie in the colonies 1,640,628,348fr. 43e. 1,426,002,&11 fr. lle. brer.• ...niert to the account of tree mars advances decowserre, which ten „o. pr. , vi•poaall7 charged upon tt. .11.114(.10A the voting was going on upon the whole hill. M . Verne entered the house. He was instantly Wrrounded by several members, who condoled with him upon the two successive warnings given to the M. Veron was observed to converse Itifh great animation. The bill was passed by 196 vet.. against I. Before the house rose, M. Billault Ind that the best public sitting would be on Satur day. w hen a communication would be made from the ito‘.rnment. He recommended the committees to naid. l the interval with great diligence. Ile espe d meted their attention to the importance of tie t4lti on the tobacco monopoly, and the bill for seeding suspected or dangerous persons out of Paris and Lyons. He set at rest the question of the pro longation of the session, by announcing that it would terminate in th, evening of June 2sth. This was received with somomarks of astonishment. M. Laurent de l'Ardeelte, who has been appointed to sueteett M. Ponsard as librarian of the Senate, was one of the retldest members of the Mountain iu the late Assembly. Thus, in political as in other matters, extremes meet. The Marquis de Pastoret has set out for Frohsdorf, to justify himself before his master of the accusations brougl.t ngainA him of leaning to the gurerinueut of Louis Napoleon. Yesterday there was a dinner given by the propri etors of thu Union, at which some distinguished legi timists were present. It was said that M. lterryer had returned not a little vexed at the Count de Chambord's obstinate adherence to the policy pro- claimed in his letter. Colonel Charras has written a letter to the Notion, a Belgian paper, refusing in energetic terms the oath of fidelity to Louis Napoleon, as member of the council-general of the Puy-de-IMme. The same Bel gian journal has been tried before the tribunals for an article disrespectful to the President of the French Republic, and been acquitted. A note in the .1/endear, signed Communique, de nies us follows the truth of a report which has Peen very generally accredited : Seine jouinaL have ascribed to the government the pro. ject of proposing a law for interdicting work, and even selling, on Sundays and holidays. The government never entertained any such idea. It desires that thereligious law shall be respected: it has prescribed to contractors fur worms which it causes to be executed that they shall nut employ men ou the days which religion consecrates to repose; but there stops its duty and its right; it does not belong to the civil power to intervene, except by the ex ' ample it gives, in an affair of conscience. The national guards of Rouen have shown much discontent at the decree which deprives them of tho power of choosing their own officers. This body of civic militia i., I believe, the only. one in France which has not been dissolved. 11 hen called on to act under the new officers they refuse to turn out, and openly declare that they will not servo under officers not chosen by themselves. Captain Kleber, who was condemned to death by a court-martial for the affair of the 13th of June, and whose sentence was commuted by the President of the Republic to imprisonment, ha's just been set at liberty. At the Dourer the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. closed, without change, at 100.23; the Three per Cents. closed without change, at 70.*.n. The Mar seilles railway rose 2'4.50; Northern, and 'lours and Nantes, 2.50 each ; Havre, and Strasbourg,l.23 each; Rouen fell 2.50. In the other hues quoted there was little variation. GERMANY. BERLIN, Jrss 7. From the best authority lam informed that the Prussian commissioner in the Zollverein's conference this morning gave, in reply to the demands of the Darmstadt coalitionists, the following definitive and categorical declaration : Firstly, l'russia rejects altogether a customs' union with Austria; secondly, it will not enter into the discussion of a treaty of commerce with Austria till the treaties for renewal of the Zollverein shall have been concluded ; thirdly, it demands, within a stated period, the determinate answer of its present allies in the Zollverein, whether they accede unconditionally to these terms or not; because, in ease of their demurring, the Prussian go vernment must prepare for establishing the custom houses on the confines of such states which may se cede from the present union, and can lose no more time before commencing its arrangements. AUSTRIA. In the Vienna Gazette of the 4th inst. the Em peror of Austria makes known by an ordinance his imperial pleasure on the regulations to be applied to the press in his dominions. The interdictions fill nine columns of that newspaper. Copies of the jour nals must be deposited in the hands of the authori ties one hour before their publication, and for works, three days previous. The government permission must be obtained fur the sale of the journals. No journal can be published but in virtue of a concession. At Vienna this concession will be granted by the police authorities, and in the provinces by the govern ment fhe editors must be 24 years of age, be Aus trian subjects, and of irreproachable reputation. The political and religious journals arc bound to furnish a caution money, the maximum of which is fixed at 10,04 M florins. The journals now existing will have a delay of three months granted them to furnish the caution money. Journals having a hostile and dan gerous tendency may be suppressed after two warn ings. The police may prohibit the distribution of articled printed abroad. Offences of the press will be tried by the ordinary tribunals. BELGIUM. Of the elections for the partial renewal of the Belgian Chambers, those for East Flanders, Hainaut, Liege, and Limbourg took place on the Bth. Of the 84 representatives elected, 33 are liberals and 21 of the opposition. The Ittu4sian joumals occasionally contain accounts from the headquarters of the army of the Caucasus respecting Circassian chiefs and families, who, it is said, preferring Russian rule to mountain freedom, abandon their tribes, and seek the headquarters of Prince Woronzow. The following is a letter dated ST. PETERSBURG, MAT 25. The latest reports from the Caucasus relate this time to a Naib whose passing over to the Russian camp excited so much attention at the time of its announcement. Last autumn, the Naib Godschi Murat came, with several of his friends, into the Russian camp, professing to be desirous of submitting to the government of the Czar, and re gretting, at the same time, that he had not been able to bring his wife and children with him. Ho was received with gladness, although some persons looked suspiciously upon his conduct, in leaving his family behind. Last April, he requested permission to go with his companions as far as Nuchu, from which piece his endeavours to obtain possession of his wife and children might prove more successful than they had hitherto done. Permission was granted; but as a measure of precaution—for it be gan now to be believed that he might have 00400 only as a spy—a guard was sent with him. On the evening of the 3rd of May, as ho was at Noche, he suddenly shot the polio° officer of the place deed on the spot, one of his companions at the same tine shot another of the escort, and all the Circassian Si into the mountains. Lieut. Kongenoff immediately sailed out the whole gendarmerie of the town, and assidsd by that of two neighbouring stations, pursued the fugitives. They overtook them, and a most obstinate combat ensued. la the end, Oadschi Murat and two of his companions were surrounded, overpowered, and shot. VIE EXPRESS, THURSO AY EVENING, JUNE 10. 18.12 .

By the new treaty the Greek church will cease to be an independent member of the dogma of Anatolia, and will return under the full and entire autho city of the patriarch. The orthodox Russian party have long looked fur this result. It was M. Degliganni, who, when Greek chargi d'affaires at Constantinople, succeeded in concleding this treaty with the support of the orthodox party. The Greek ministers are now about to present it to the Chambers. A COLLIER BRIO DESTROYED BY FIRE.--Ott Monday night, at eleven o'clock, information was received at the River Police-station, North Shields, that a vessel we. in Eames at Jarrow, about two miles up the Tyne. The police immediately unmoored the river engine, and had it towed up to the scene of disaster. The vessel was lying off the Patent Slip, and was io one sheet of flame.

A telegraphic summary of the following appeared yesterday in part of our impression: The American Mail Steamer Atlantic, Captain West, arrived in the Mersey yesterday, soon after noon, with the usual mails. 130 passengers, and 420,000 dollars in specie, chiefly in salver. Amongst the passengers were M. and Madame Goldschmidt, who have taken up their residence for a few days at the Adolph liotel, where apartments had been pre viously engaged for them. The Atlantic left the wharf at New York on the 29th ult., and proceeded down to Sandy Hook, where, in consequence of the dense fog that prevailed, she anchored till .5 a.m. on Sunday, the 30th, when she proceeded on her voyage. So . on after which she tact the American Mail Steamer Arctic proceeding to New York, and on Tuesday, Juno I, in lat. 41.30, I lon. 6.1.56, met the Royal M ail Steam-ship Aria, also 1 for New York. The principal morsel of news communicated b 7 this steamer is the arrival at New York of Mr. 'l'. }. Meagher, one of the persons who was expatriated in 1848, in consequence of having taken part in the attempted Irish insurrection in that year. The Courier and Inquirer gives the following account of his escape from Van Diemen 's Land : For some time previous to February last, arrangements were in progress, by which, if successful, the exiles, nine in number, were to be taken from Van Diemen's Land and brought to our shores. In Janulry the arrangements were completes', when it was found that in consequence of their residing so far apart (some ten miles), it would be imprac. tieable to get them all off at one time, and their friends, though reluctantly, were obliged to confine their operations to effecting the release of Mr. Meagher, as his position gave the surest prospect of success. Everything being in readi ness, early in February Mr. Meagher sent his "pato' of honor " to the magistrate with the promise that he would consider himself bound by it for two hours after its delivery and no longer. On receiving it the magistrate gave imme diate orders to the constable in Bothwell (where Mr. Meagher resided) to arrest him without delay. This the constable refused to do, stating that he was himself an Irishman, and would ito nothing to hinder Meagher's escape. This placed the magistrate in a position somewhat unpleasant, as there was sot another officer within twenty four miles. lie, however, mounted horse, and proceeded to the nearest point, for the purpose of bringing back an officer to take charge of Mr. Meagher, who waited for his return until the time promised had expired, after which he took horse and proceeded in an opposite direction, in which course he is said to have travelled as fast as his horse could carry him, for over one hundred miles, or to the point where his friends had another conveyance in waiting. Atter reaching Pernambuco, he is said to have been taken on board the brig Acorn, on the 23rd of April, and by her brought to this port. In the Senate, on the 2Rth ult., it was carried, after various amendments proposed and rejected, by a majority of 27 to 19, that the present allowance to the Collins line of steamers be increased to 33,000 dollars per trip, with the proviso that it shall he in the power of congress at any time after the 31st De cember, 1031, to terminate the arrangement for any additional allowance herein provided for, upon giving six months notice.

In connexion with this result it will be remarked that the mean weekly temperature fell from 62.7 deg. and 55.6 deg. in the second and third week of May, to 50.8 deg. in the fourth, while last week it was 52.5 deg., having been during the last fortnight about six degrees below the average, to which atmospheric ohange the Increase of mor tality is probably to be attributed. In the four weeks now mentioned the rain that fell amounted to 2.21 in., though in the previous twelve weeks the entire amount was less than one inch. In the ten weeks corresponding to last week in the years 1842.61 the average number of deaths was 877, which, if raised in prop mrtion to t h e increase of population, become 965. IThe present number, therefore, exhibits an excess of 36 above the estimated amount. CRICKET. ENGLAND T. SIXTEEN OF SUBSEX.—No play took place on Monday at Chichester, owing to the rain.

FEAROUs O'CoNNok.—The House of Commons has at length taken measures for the 'detection of its mem bers, the vindication of its dignity, and the good order of its proceedings. M. F. O'Connor is now in the custody of the serjeantat-arnis. Our parliamentary report centime the few and brief epee Ales made on this painful occasion, and to this report it is only necessary to edit that just at the mo ment when the motion for his committal was being made Mr. O'Connor stood at the Speaker's left hand, and was addressing that gentleman in a manner which, under any circumstances, must have been a breach of order. So soon, honorer, as Mr. O'Connor became aware of the exact nature of the proposition which was about to be carried, he walked out of the house, obtained a glass of brandy at the bar in the lobby, which he instantly . drank, and proceeded down the members private passage into Westminster-hall, whither he was followed by a few gentlemen, some of whom were magistrates, known to the police. The constables on duty, therefore, acting upon the information which they then received, told Mr. O'Connor that his presence would soon be required in the house, and that he must not quit the hall ; on receiving this intimation he began to howl so loudly and vehemently that a considerable crowd soon assembled. At this spot Mr. O'Connor remained for a few minutes, in the course of which the Speaker's warrant for his committal was made out. Armed with this authority, Mr. Clementson, the deputy-aerirent, accompanied by several officers of the house, proceeded to Westminster-hall, took Mr. O'Connor into custody, and removed him without any resistance to the rooms of Mr. (Nowt, the assistant-serjcant. In a little time those chambers became filled with members, anxious to learn the particulars of the arrest. Their presence seemed violently to excite Mr. O'Connor, who called them ruffians, valetas, murderers ; at times shouting furiously , at others groaning most heavily, and occasionally giving expression to his feelings in tones of triumph and rejoicing. After a short time the gentlemen who had crowded into Mr. Oosset's apartment were induced to withdraw, and Mr. O'Connor was left in the care of five officers. But in less than an hour from that time, when Mr. O'Connor hail been some what calmed, he was removed to the prison -rooms in the upper story of the building towards the river front ; and the whole of these proceedings were completed before the ad journment of the house. It is usual to supply members in custody with refreshments at their own expense. If Mr. O'Connor, who does not seem to want funds, he supplied with all that he is accustomed to enjoy, brandy will enter largely into the articles of his consumption. It is understood that for a long time past he has been scarcely ever sober. In the libraries and refreshment rooms attached to the house of Commons he ' has for many weeks of the present session been guilty of the most scandalous breaches of decorum ; and his presence has occasionally been area dangerous. At one time he at tempted to stab an hon. alderman of London with a fork ; at another he threatened a distinguished minister of the crown, spreading alarm wherever he appeared ; and shortly before his committal he had a violent personal encounter in the lobby with a member of the house. A large proportion of the members and almost all the officers of the house be lieve from the extreme cunning which he manifests that his madness is feigned, or at least that he is sufficiently sane to be considered a responsible agent; while, on the other hand, those accustomed to persons of unsound mind are not surprised at his artfulness , _ and thinkthe sooner hole placed in a lunatic asylum the better. Morning Paper. COLLISION AND LOW OF LIFE ON TUE MAN CHESTILB, SHEFFIELD, AND LiscoLNaHJHa RAILWAY.— An alarming accident, attended with the lose of two lives, occurred on this line, on Tuesday afternoon, near to the Woodhouse junction, and within a short distance of the spot where a collision occurred last year between a Great Northern excursion and a goods train. It appears that about two o'clock, a ballast train, laden with sleepers, left Grimsby for Sheffield, a passenger-carriage, containing seven or eight men, in the company's service, being at tached to the last waggon. Nothing occurred until they arrived at the Kiveton park station, when, in consequence of the piston-rod breaking, the engine be came disabled. Ef forts were then immediately made to bring the train to a stand, but in consequence of the line at this point being on a steep incline, this was not accomplished until some time had elapsed. The moment this was done, all the men except two left the passenger carriage, and a messenger was des patched to signal as approaching luggage train, which was then due from Ketford, and the steam whistle of which was then distinctly heard, but which, in consequence of a sharp curve in the line, was not then visible. Before he had pro ceeded more the; twenty or thirty yards, he came in sight of the train, the driver of which, as soon as he became aware of the danger, instantly reversed the engine, shut off the steam, and applied the break, after which he, together with the stoker and the guard, leaped off the train, and escaped without any serious injury. Oa the collision, the engine of the goods train was thrown off the rails, and sustained con siderable damage. The passenger carriage, and several of the ballast waggons were smashed to pieces, and the two men who were sitting in one of the compartments of the carriage, unaware of the danger, were killed on the spot. Their names are William Waller and John Walker, mar ried men, residing at Brigg. Their remains were conveyed to Woodhouse, where the affair will undergo an investiga tion before Thos. Badger, Esq., coroner. The line was speedily cleared, and no interruption was occasioned to the ordinary trains. GREAT FIBS IN LAUBETIL—The following is Mr. Braidwood's official report on the fire at Mr. Saxton's timber yard, of which we gave a bri e f account in yesterday's im pression :—" Two o'clock a.m., June 9.—Called by strangers and police to a fire at Mr. Saxton's, timber-merchant, Blackfriers Wharf, Upper;(lround-atrect,;Blackfriars-road, which destroyed the stabling, saw pits, the mahogany lofts, and about one-fourth of the stock in the yards on land side.

DREADFUL ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND SUICIDE. —Yesterday morning one of the most determined attempts at murder and suicide (not immediately terminating fatally) which has happened for sonic time took place at a house No. 11, Devonshire-place, Broadway, Westminster. An old man, named Martin White, aged (18 years, who is an enrolled out-pensioner of Chelsea hospital, occupied the front room on the second floor in the above house, where a woman named Eliza Hurley, aged 30, formerly cohabited with him ; but, on account of his brutal treatment of her, she left him, and went to reside in the neighbourhood of Soho. On Tuesday evening last she visited him again, and remained all night. About a quarter to three o'clock yes terday morning Sergeant Buchanan, S B, whilst passing down the street, suddenly heard piercing screams of 'Mur der, murder," and " Police," proceeding from the house in question, and, on running hastily to the spot, met the young woman Hurley at the street-door in hi r night-dress, which was literally dripping with blood on the pavement. She was in such an exhausted state that she could only point up stairs, and utter a few incoherent articulations. The sergeant immediately despatched her to the West minster Halide', and proceeded up stairs. After knocking at the door several times, and receiving no answer, he burst it open, when a dreadful scene presented itself. The Aor of the room was covered with large patches of blood, and the man White was lying across the bed copiously bleeding from a wound in the throat, apparently but recently in flirted. On recognising the police be motioned with his hand under the bed, whereupon search being afterwards made, a large black-handled razor, clotted with blood, and the handle broken in pieces, was discovered. Sergeant Buchanan immediately sent for Mr. Budd Painter, jun., surgeon, whose assistant soon arrived, when the bleeding was staunched, and the wounded man conveyed in custody ' to the Westminster Hospital, where he still remains under the surveillance of the police, with little hope of recovery. Upon the examination of the female by Mr. Halford, the house surgeon, she was found to be dreadfully cut about the neck, face, and arms. Her hands were also very severely lace rated. Alter the wounds bad been dressed she was placed in bed, and, having rallied a little, she stated that White Originated a quarrel with her rela tive to her having left ham, and, she replying to his epithets, he got out of bed and, taking the razor off a shelf, swore she should not do itagain. Seeing the blade glittering in his hand, and knowing his desperate character, she jumped out of bed to get away from bins, when a terrible struggle took place, White holding her by the hair of the head and aiming the cuts of the razor at her throat, in defending which her neck and arms were dreadfully gashed. He also tried to cut her fingers away, but being the stronger she was able to save herself, until the noise of the police running along the street alarmed him, and she was provi dentially enabled to get out of the room down stairs, where she was met by Sergeant Buchanan and the constables, as already deseeibed. White was at the review of the pen sioners in Hyd.-park on last Wednesday week, and his accoutrements, which should have been given into store at Chelsea Hospital yesterday, were lying about the room in all directions, covered with the blood of his intended vie tim. The police have locked up the place in its present eon ditioo,lest farther events should require its inspection, as the woman Hurley is in a very low and dangerous state. LIFE AND DEATH IN A WAGGON.—Yeaterdny afternoon Mr. W. Carter held an inquest at the Cottage of Content Tavern, Lock's-fields, Walworth, on the body of Sarah 13ygraves, aged five weeks. The mother stated that her husband was a mat-maker and hawker. They had lived in a caravan now standing in a cow yard, in Luck's fields, about five years, and had four children, paying, when able, ls. 6d. weekly for rent to the owner of the ve hicle, which had no wheels. Their chief food was dry bread and tea, with meat occasionally on Sundays. On Monday night the deceased was placed b her side iu bed, apparently .r in good health, and when s h e awoke on the next morning the deceased was lying quite insensible by her side. A boy ran for a surgeon, but the deceased ex pired in a fit before medical assistance could be procured. The summoning officer informed the co -1 roner that a child belonging to the same parents died in the caravan eleven months since. The coroner proceeded to view the body and on reaching the plate referred to they found the remains of an old broken down caravan. The door at the front had been blocked up, but the entrance was an opening of about 12 inches wide, and three feet in height ; but the aperture was so ex ceedingly low and small that several of the robust jurymen had considerable difficulty in squeezing through the open ing to see the corpse, and the interior was se small that only one person could stand in it with the constable. The floor ing boards had been removed, and nothing but the bare rafters were placed on the ground fur the unfortunate occu pants to lie down on. The rain also made its way through the roof, and many portions of the woodwork in the upper part had fallen down from decay. The coroner remarked that he never saw such a wretched hovel. lie was only astonished to think how human beings could exi s t i n suc h an ill-ventilated and fearful place. '1 he whole of the jury said the attention of the parochial officers ought to be directed to the spot, for the residence of the poor persons was not even fit for swine. The jury found a verdict of "Natural Death." The coroner thereupon gave the officer directions to lay a complaint at the office of Mr. Porter, the district surveyor, who had power to indict the owner of the caravan ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE BY SOLDIERS.—CHATRAM, JUNG 9.—Yesterday 0. MeDermot and John nucleon, private soldiers belonging to the 69th Regiment, quartered in Brampton-barracks, were committed for trial by the Rochester bench of magistrates—the former charged with criminally assaulting Elizabeth Schnebbelic, and the latter with siding him in the outrage. The occurrence took place at a late hour on Saturday night, on a public road near the barracks, and the prisoners were shown to have acted with brutal violence towards the unfortunate prceecutrix.

The following extremely interesting history of the submarine telegraph between Holyhead and Howth is given by Saunders 's Dublin News /Alter : "Tins undertaking, which has been so suddenly and un expectedly executed, and which has more or lets taken the v t u 11 i . c u la sur p rise,. y i, i a s i t i o o w h “ e s om u te o te , , , i a t i l tdi t t s , s l u i cc o u e s a l ce rta in. d in on- nemsary seeress; but the fact was that there were but few engaged in the gigantic enterprise, and those few hare been up to this moment unremittoncly and alosorhingly erg. ged in its performance. There were other reasons for reserve : the task was daring, difficult—and, in respect to distance, unprecedented ; the projectors, some private individuals, might tail wider one ur other of the numerous accidents to which it was liable, and they might become subject to the charges of rashness and incompetency. Pub licity is, no doubt, serviceable to a powerful and chattered company ; in it the responsibility is divided, ar.d personal risk in the event of failure is conse quently diminished; but 'speculation attempted by en individual, and yet of great nationej importaece, is dif ferently circumstanced. However, the llowth and Holy hi ad Submarine Telegraph is now an established fact, and its promoter. are will worthy of the earnest tongratodu i Botts of all who are capable of appreciating the attributes of decision, energy, and skill. It is to Messrs. Newell and Co., tif Gateshead-upon-Tyne. assisted by the Gum Perelia Company of Louden, that Europe and America arc indebted for the llowth and llulyhead Submarine Electric Telegraph. • 'I hree several companies had been advertised for tele graphing acmes the 1 gnat Stu ; the usual means fir alluring sharchelders, electing directors, appoi 'sting ago ins, engi neers, ate., had all been put into operation. These necessarily ponderous and unwieldy corporations were slowly and la boriously proceedine to put their much-talked-of schemes into practice, when shout three weeks ago the idea ft.alied across the mind of Mr. It. S. New all. ' This Irish Tele graph will be a paying concern ; it will not require much capital. The firm with which I urn counseled have facilities for doing the thing—why should we not set about it and do it at once ourselves ? Ile accordingly explaiued his view • to his partners, gut their consent, sad tmmediately applied to Samuel Statham, Esq., conductor of the (hate l'erelia Works, City-rued. ' Can : you supply us with 140 miles of telegraph wire, doubly covered with gntta perches, within a fortnight i. ' I'll by,' was /dr. aitatliam's response; and accordingly it vas commenced and finished within the time agreed on, being latter.y dune at the rate of 12 miles a day. the coated wire was then sent down to Gateshi•ad on-Tyno to he surrounded with 12 gaivani•eil iron wires, twisted round it in a spiral. The cable being tiuiehed, Mr. Newell called on Mr. Statham list Tuesday week, and then for the first time told him the object for which it was maioulacturcel. It was agreed that Mr. Statham should bring a staff of assistants, and the requisite apparatus to Holyhead the next day to meet the wire. T i ce Admiralty was communicated with, and kindly sent down Captain /tetchy, ILN., to give his valuable advice and resistance ; and they also lent the Prosier° government steamer, Lieutenant Aldridge, R.N. ' to aid in carrying out the uudertaking. Meanwhile the Britannia was hired to bring the cable from Whitchaven, and afterwards pay it cut from Holyhead to Dublin. "The enermous cable, 80 miler in length, weighing a ton per mile, and all in one continuous piece, was wound up into immense coils, placed on trucks, one after the other, and drawn by steam from Newcastle upon-Tyne to White haven—from one side of England to the other. The Britannia, as has been Mated, steamed to White haven to take it on hoard, when, unfortunately, it was found that the entrance to the dock was too narrow to permit the ves sel to enter. The coils had then to be replaced on trucks, anal carried to Mareport, where they were at length cm barked, and speedily conveyed to Holyhead. Now, it might he hop il that all difficulties had been overcome, and that there was nothing to do but to lay down the line; but Mr. Statham, who had already achieved the Dover and Calais connexion, knew too well the dangers and accidents to which those concerned were liable in the event of a gale to trust anything to chance, or to proceed one step further without a careful preliminary inspection. The insulation of the copper was tested, and found to he defective; then the portions stowed in the various departments of the ship were examined separately, and at last it was ascertained that the fault lay is some eight miles of the line lying in the bottom of the held. There was nothing for it but to dieembark the leviathan bulk, and to track it step by step to the exact seat of the defect. This was accordingly done, the fault reme died, and by Tuesday morning the giant rope was in readi ness to be placed in its abiding home. "Early on Tuesday morning the Britannia, under the command of Capt. Browne, and towed by the Pros's( ro, under Lieut. Aldridge, R.N., commenced paying out the cable, ac cording so it sank by its own weight to the bottom of the era, along the route from Holyhead to Howth. There were on board, besides the officers and crew, R. S. Newell, Esq., with a gang from the Gateshead Works ; Samuel Statham, Esq , with a party from the Gutta Percha Works ; Thum-is Alice, p: the the inventor of a new telegraph instrument ; and Mr. lieid, juts. L. D. Gordon, Esq. (Mr. Newell's partner) had previously departed to Dublin to supervise the land line from the latter city to Itowth. Occasional difficulties were experienced in the paying out of the cods ; but they were all overcome through the skill and energy of Messrs. Statham and Newell. Slowly the vessels ploughed on at a rate varying from three to five miles an hour ; and at length, between seven and eight o'clock on the same evening, the Britannia anchored off lluwth. An electric current was sent through the wire to Holyhead, and the returning answer brought the pleasing intelligence that the lino was all right throughout. and perfectly insulated. The portion of cable requisite for cempleting the connexion with the shore and land line was now laid down, and the parties engaged in this arduous undertaking sought some repose, after nearly two days and nights of eves ive and harrowing exertion, about daybreak on Wednesday morning. " It might be supposed that everything wan now smooth and prosperous. Buoyant with hope, those who had al ready suffered so much in the attempt went down at noon on Wednesday, to the Amiens-street terminus, to teat the success of their enterprise. The batteries were put in ac tion, the wires were connected, and trey anxiously waited a reply, but none arrived! They tekgraphed to Hoowth and were answered—the fault was further off than the land line. An express train was provided and they dashed down to Ilowth. Again they telegraphed to Holyhead from the shore—no answer ! They took a boat and rowed to the ship. A message so nt to Holyhead brought back the reply that" all wan right there." It was new manifest that the fault lay somewhere between the Britannia and the shore. " It was necessary again to take up this portion of the line, and test it little by little. The defect was probably caused by the straining of the ship upon a line comparatively short. When discovered, it was soon remedied on board. It was again recoiled into an open boat, the crew of which made a renewed attempt to lay it dawn to the shore. In the meantime Messrs. Statham and Newell proceeded to shore in another boat with the instruments, but when they overtook the boat which bail been engaged in paying out the cable they found it at a stand, the crew basing managed to sink the whole line while still some distance from the shore. Again Mr. Statham had to return to the ship, get another mile of cable uncoiled, recoil it in the boat, and then row to where the deficient extremity of the cable remained; and there, in an open boat, at two o'clock in the morning, with the aid of a little burning spirits, to solder the wires, reunite the gotta perch', and res•ore the cable to a continuous and mutated whole. This was effected, the remaining distance to the shore laid down, and that night of toil was at length repaid by a success the most ample and complete. On Thursday the Britannia let go the cable and steamed away ; while these on shore, after repeated experiment; ' were satisfactorily convinced that the communication with Holyhead was now at length without impediment." ROYAL COLLEGE or PIIYUCIAMIL—Last evening soiree WAS held at the College, Pall-mall East, and was at tended by a considerable number of the leading members of the faculty, and other distinguished gentlemen. Tho library tables displayed a collection of various and rare copies of the classics and scientific works, microscopes of extraordinary power, specimens of Clauslet's improved pho tographic process, stereoscopes, and curious optical instru ments. Art ingenious contrivance for showing the circula tion of the blood in the gills of a protcus attracted very great notice throughout the evening, and afforded an ex cellent illustration of Harvey's great oiscovery. A cold col lation (provided by the Messrs. Staples) was laid in one of the lower rooms. Amongst the company were Lord Londesborough, Lord Headley, Signor de Nrseensi, Lieut.- General Sir Archibald Maclaine, Major Drummond, Sir George Staunton, Sir Fortunatua Dwarris, Sir Chas.
