IMPERIAL P. ROUSE OF LORDS.—THURSDAY, MAY 14. Yesterday being Ascension Day the Howe of Lords did sot assemble. HOUSE OF OODEMONEL—TarssDAY, MAY 14. The Sruirni took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and weed Monkstown, and Booteratown Improvement, Cork and Youghal Railway, Cowes and Newpart Railway, Greenock and Wernyes Bay Railway, Saffron Walden R.II• ws , Teign Valley Railway, and TramoreEmbankraent THE AUSTRALIAN CON/LLVD. Sir P. SMITH asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether there was any truth in the report that Captain Sir William Wiseman, KN., who lately wu rice-preeident of the o minuet e :elect committee, was about to to sent to a dist.int command. Lord C. FACET said Sir William WilleMlll bad been offtrel and had accepted the oommodoresbip. He was a very distinguished officer, and the appointment had been offered in consideration of his merits, and not from any wiah to there him or put him out of the way. THE WRECK OF THE ANGLO-SAXON. Mr. DAWSON asked the President of the Board of Trade whether any detailed report bad been made to his depart ment of the loss of the Anglo-Saxon steamship, from Lon doaderry to Quebec, on the 27th April, and whether the circumstances of that lamentable event were oorrectly stated in the public press; also, whether the government had ever refused permission for the use of Daboll's fog trumpet upon Cate Race. in Newfoundland; and, if so, what were the filo:aids for such refusal. He said that having teen several shipwrecks on the coast of Newfoundland, be was anxious to know whether say step had been taken to establish a fog signal. Mr. M. GIBSON replied that no detailed statement or re poi t of the wreck of the Anglo-Saxon had as yet been made to the Bawd of Trade, nor would any further particulars be known until the arrivals,' the next mail. With regtrd to the second question, as to whether government had refused per mission to erect Debars fog trumpet on Cape Race, be led to st it* that last year the Associated Prose of New York had roads a proposal to erect the trumpet, but it was not thought desirable by the colonial overnment that a foreign compay should occupy a site within British territory. The Board of Trade had, however, urged upon the steer i hi sisowners the necessity of erecting some adequate fog ' on so important a point as Cape Race, and bad also ea led the ttention of the whole shipping interest of the ocestry to its importance. Government had the power of erecting fog noels and of imposing a toll for their support, but the steamship owners had mid that although they should like to have such a signal erected they should not like to have to tear the expense, and the habit of the government was to waive the right and consult the wishes of the parties priocipolly concerned. With regard to the particular fog signal in queatioo, it wee sot certain that it was of a good description, and it was most important that if a signal were put up it should be of • kind that could be relied on. A bad one would only have the effect of tempting ships to go too near the land wins it might not be possible to hear the signal, and the result would be their going on shore. Very lately • steam ship vas lost at Holyhead during • fog although • gun was eon dandy fired ea a signal nom the mountain. It was thought that • gun was the test fog signal, and it we. • gun that the governmeat thought of snag. Mr. Isaholl's inven tion was nadar consideration, and they had asked far • re port from the United States Lighthouse Board respecting sat That hoard had reported that it promised well, and was worth a trial ; but did not go the leng th of saying that it had been suf fi ciently proved to be on so important a point as Oape Rasa Mr. DAWSON hoped that an investigation would take place into the circumstances of the wreck of the Anglo- Seam Yr. 11. 011390 N had very little doubt but that an in quiry would take place). He could not, bonever, say any thing positive natal he was ia palomino of all the facts. THE PACKET EBTLVATES. Hr. PEEL pm adios that an Monday next be should in supply move the packet estimates. He says this seties in consequence of the resolution of the baose against the reo•ealot Mr. Churchward's contract, after the 20th of Ju:;.e next. PRISON MINLSTERS BILL The consideration of the azaendmeate on this bill wee teamed. Mr. SENTINCE repeated his objectiose, and moved the omission of the last four hese in the 3rd clause, from the word " persuasioa" to the end. Mr. PAOKE supported the amendment, stating that if it were not carried be should move another amendment pro- viding that the Roman catholic chaplains should he paid by voluntary contributions Sir G. GREY opposed the amendment. The majority of the home bad, be said, already decided that it was not desirable to take from the juatices the power of renstinera.. big the chaplains. After an observation from Mr. Maguire and Mr. Newde gate respectively, the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. HENLEY proposed certain ameodme its, the object of which was to provide that ministers of religion oa visiting a prison were to be furnished with • list of the prisoners, clarailled according to their religious persuasion. Mr. NEWDEGATE opposed these amendments. The amendment was then agreed to, and the bill was ordered for third residing on Monday. VOLUYISERS BILL_ On the motile for the mooed reading of this hal, The Marquis of HARTINGTON, attar referring to the origin and program of the volunteer movement, to the re port of the royal coouniesioo, noonunensling further assis tance by the government, and to the vote of the house of a sum for that object, °leaned that it became necessary in co seam for the war department to make provisions for the diskihOhm of the grant, end to propose an alteration of the existing law, ad be proceeded to explain th e prin cipal petals in noised to which the bill would alter and amend the law relating to volunteer.. He concluded by giving a very favourable report of the condition of this force, spontaneously raised, and now numbering upwards of 150,000 men. _ . _ Cursory remarks were made . .. j o r. y i t. e alor EDWARDS Coisisa YRiNCR, Sir J. Snout , aad Dusie, and the hi' , was read a woad time. THAMES EMBANKMENT 'NORTH BIDES BILL Upon the order of the day fre the nrcoramittal of this nr. MAW FORD moved that the bill be re-committed to the select committee, with instruction to take into COO sideratioa amain proposals made by the corionition of the cr.ty of Leaden to her Majesty's Pint Coramissiooer of Works once the date of the report of the select committ . e. He cask this motion, he said, in behalf of the corporation, who offered to make the proposed improvemeus, which, in the hands of the Metropolitan Board of Works, would cost a sum o f 650,0001., f or 300,t ill., paying the rest of the cost out of their corporate Node. Mr. COWPEU said the question was one of considerable importance as regarded the practice of the house. It was very undesirable that they should miconrage motions to re commit bills without serious and substantial grounds for so doing. and he did not think it had been the practice of the house to recommit bills without its being shown either that the committee bad not adequately or satisfac torily dimharged their duty, or that some new facts had come to light since the close of their labours. He was glad to heir that no objection was made to the committee, for they had listened with the greatest attention for is days to the evidence brought before them, the corporation and the Commisaioners of Hewers for the City being the only oppos ing parties. He understood the hon. member to sly that the orwporstion were willing to make a present of 3.30,000/. out of their corporate resources for the honour of making the street. When he was informed that they had such re bitiZera, he said he was delighted to hear it, that they ought by all means to be ecooaraged in spending it in improving sod beautifying the streets in the City, and that he was the but person to interfere in the slightest degree with works of that hied ; bat he added, '• Do tell me what those oorporate resoutoes are" (Rear.) Yet ep to the pretest time his information on the point was very obscure. What he understood them to mean by the ear 'orate resources was the 4d. coal duty, which they said was theirs; but so far from belonging to the corpora tion. it had cooly been granted to them by act of parlisineet until 1872. Probably, at the expiration of that period they would amen ea SWIMS right to levy 4d. on every e.haldron of coals : but with that they had nothing to do. They were sow dealing with the actual confirmation of the tax of 4d. per ton, which, be could not admit, formed, in any proper sense, a part of the corporate resources. (Hear.) It was quite clear that the City could not give any money whatever out of the extension of the fourpenny tax from 1872 to Iggi. because, with the assent of the committee, be had inserted in • bin which stood Os the orders for a second I reeding, a urovisioa by which that money was to he devoted to raising the valley of Holborn-hill, for which it would only be sufficient. It wee, therefore clear that nothing would be left out of that tax for the new street, sad he hoped that the hon. member opposite connected with the City would explain what was meant by the corporate fowls. He quite admitted that if the City made a serious prepaid to devote funds which were not applicable to public - improvements, and might be devoted to some parsintry or other not very important purpose, it would be entitled to consideratin • bet, at the same tints, he *o u t m oded this vies net ease t o hank to a select committee. It is- 1 e d so d a mien* which could be mach better &cured in a committee of the whole house. Being a highway bill, this area sere had been carefully inquired into and sifted. It west before the private bill committee in order that all =whose interests were affected by it might be fully and he considered that sow, any question of prisciple which it raised could be meek better decided in a mini. sates of the house than in a select committee upstairs. Bet even amusing that this fend of 360,0001. was really disposable, thin slam the gasifies whether the loan should accept the ester el the City. whisk, however, was not se offer to pay the mosey, but be raise and expend it. No doubt any corpenties or other body would like to haws the power et spindles 360,0001.. asd be reedy to take it out of their neighbours' hands for that pur pose, bet, if they took that ism fres theMstropoline Board of Works Ind gars it to the City, ether objectless might be raised. When the government had to 110•11iCille the roes mires for eosins* the taxes as coal. they made a dines.- hoe 111141111111111 thee d. Ned the ether taxes. The goalies el THE r these coal duties was of the greatest importaeos, because they formed the fund by which all the improvements in the metropolis had beep. or were likely to be made, and the house said that they ought to be economised sod distributed in the wisest and most efficient way. The 4d. tax was, by the Continuance Act of 1861, committed to the cue of the City, and the 9d. tax formed into a separate food for the Thames Embankment and other metropolitan improvements. This last fund, it was decided, should be expended by the Metropolitan Board of Works. The reasons were obvious The 9d. was intended to be spent on int provemei.ts for the benefit of the whole metropolis, such as this great thoroughfare between the teat and wart of Los doo, and therefore it was proposed that the Metropolitan Bused should be entrusted with the expenditure of the money, instead of the corporation, and that the Cite should become subordinate to that board. (A laugh.) lie knew that was not a palatable phrase to the corporation, but it was not his phrase, and would be found in an act of parliament. The Metropolis Local Management Act made them subordinate to the Metropolitan Board of Works. It declared that the metropolis should include the City, and the members of the Metropolitan Board corn pi:sed three representatives from the City. How, then, could the corporation say they were independent and superior to the board, when they were themselves represented upon it? They could not have it both ways. If they asserted their supremacy over the Metropolitan Board, ought they not to withdraw their three members! At present, those three members bad a share in the expenditure of the money. Therefore the Metropolitan Board of Works as much represented the City as it did the rest of the metropolis, and it would be quite contrary to the principles of self.govere. meet sod the principle that represeotatioo should go with taxation, if they took awav from the representatives of the whole metropolis die expenditure of the 9d. duty, and gave it only to the City of London, which was only one district of the metropolis. The 4d. doty would still be administered by the City for the pur poses specified in the Continuance Act, for parliament had wisely reserved to itself the discretion to say in each in 'tame when these duties were renewed to what particular purpose they should be devoted. He thought it was lima. tenet whether the bill was sent back to the committee or not., as he could not help thinking that the fund of which the corporation spoke was a kind of ignis (atous ; for, no.withatanchng all his exertioes, it still remained concealed. He thought there must be some delusion on that subject somewhere, If the house shored seriously entertain the motion of the ' hon. member for London, they bad • right to have placed before them some clear and definite information of the fonds which the City possessed. He thought tFe hon. gentleman had made out no case whatever for this !wormed- Um). He had stated no new facts. But if hon. members would read through the correspondence between the City and himself they would see that the only thing to he n cted, it the corporation should be entrusted with the execution of these works, would be • postponement of this mipeovement to an indefinite period, and be should be so n 11 anything hapreocd to create delay in the open* of the great new thoroughfare between the West end and the City. He therefore should oppose the amendment. The LORD MAYOR said the ci.7 of London considered that it was • most destructive measure to Isis° funds in the City and intrust their distribution to • foreign body. The City had means at its disposal to effect the improvement in the proper lime, it had never failed in any undertaking, and would give a guarantee for providing the necessary funds. NORRIS insisted that the city of London bad means to fulfil its engagements ; it had expended large sums in im provements, and felt naturally jealous of the intrusion of the Metropolitan & .rd of Worts. Mr. DOULTON observul that all the arguments urged on behalf of the city of London had been considered by the select committee- The principle of showing the Metropo lit...n Laird of Works jurisdiction in the city of London had been greedy isanotioned by parliament and been conceded by the corporation. Lord .1. MANNERS thought the government might, in the first instance, have int:tasted the work to the city of London ; but, as a member of the select committee, he was bound to say that the city did not establish their cue so as to justify the committee in altering the bill. The discussion, which was wallow I by Mr. Tin, Alder man SIDMIZT, and Mr. W. WILLIAMS, terminated in Mr. CIAITTOILIN amendment being withdrawn. The house then went into committee upon the bill, the clarion of which underwent a few amendments. Mr. CRAWFORD thought it highly desirable that before this street were turned over to the tender mercies of the Board of Works it should be named at once. He would therefore move a clause to the effect that the name of the street be called " Mansion.house.street." (No, no.) Sir J. SHELLEY said that malty to hear his hon. friend and the Lord Mayor talk about the Board of Works, it would seem as though they fancied them a bet of red Indians—(a butO)—forgetting that the City really formed a very small portion of the metropolitan district. He would rather the street were called "Crawford-street"—(a laugh) "Mansicei-house-street," as he really thought his boo. Mend was one of the most energetic and useful mem. ben the City bed had for rrnetime, . Mr. AYHTON protested against the name of " Mansion home-street." One memos. objection to it was that a great part of the inhabitants of the City would not be able to pronounce the name of the street properly. (A laugh.) The name, moreover, would Le suggestive of the worst feature of the corporati on. One of the earliest writers on the City said, mazy years ago, that what struck him as the meat curious thug about it was the extraordinary amount of pro visions they had, and the wonderful powers of the citizens in disposing of them. (Laughter.) The name of this street ought not to be suggestive of that one faculty of the corporation. (Hear, hear.) If his isnourable friend the member for SZafford (Alderman Sidney) were present he might have suggested • name, reminding them of some old associations connected with the City. On • former occasion he told them bow the corporation behaved in tleir cups, a condition for which he believed they were celebrated. Why not, for example, Whittington-West— la laugh) —or Oat-street, in memory of Whittington's eat? (Laughter). Or there was the noble lord the patron of the improvement, who was so anxious that it should be effected ; let him be put into the new street. Why should not his name be identified with it! It would be • compli ment worthy of his administration. (Hear, hear.) But Mension-house-street ! He had hoped before this to have seen the Maimiondionse oonverted into a railway station. (Loud laughter.) He sliould advise the withdrawal of the addition, and suggest the substitution of the name of the noble lord. (Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said that with every desire for posthumoua fame he hoped ghat the right of biptiiiiUg the street would be left to the proper glamors. (Laughter.) The motion was then withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to, as were the remaining clauses of the bilL LONDON COAL AND WINE DUTIES CONTINUANCE BILL. Clause 1 was agreed to. On clause 2, Mr. COX proposed to insert after the word " by" in the 28th line, the words "the removal of Middle-row, 801. horn." The inconverdence arising from the nermwoess of Holborn in consequeoce of the 'redeem of Middle-row was generally admitted. This obstruction to the traftic could be. removed for under 50,0001., and in &few weeks. He might be met with the objection that the corporatioe were not bound to appl► any part of the fourpenny coal tax to the im provement of the metropolis outside the City. He thought it would only be a graceful act on the part of the oarpoextion to appropriate the small amount of mosey that would be re quired for this object. He thought it would be a greater improvement than the improvement even of Holborn-bill. Mr. CRAWFORD Bald be was not eoinmissioned on the part of the City to do graceful acts—llaughter)—but as the money—the produce of this tax—was to be employed in the improvement of the City and the parte adjacent, he had no doubt that they would pay proper attention to the sub. ject brought under consideration by the boo. member. But as between the improvement of Middle-row, Holborn, and of Holborn-bill, be thought the latter bad the prior claim. Mr. Alderman BALOMONEI believed that Middle-row was in Finsbury, which might account for the preference of the lice. member for Finsbury. Mr. A YRTON mid the raining of Holborn Valley must include the removal of Middle-row if the improvement wee to be real, (Hear, beer.) . . Mr. Aldermen IhONEY thought that the money should be applied to improvements in the City in the first place. Mr. COWPER said that the raising of Holborn valley was of much greater importance than the rernovalof row. It wart in hurt the gloated want of that part of Lon don, and it was therefore treated in the clause as the P charge upon the 4d. duty. Whatever sum re reat7 after the completion of that improvement would probably be expended in the widening of Middle-row. The time had, he thought, arrived for effecting the contemplated improvement in Holborn valley, and that the oorporation should be invested with powers to negotiate with the ran. way companies requiring land near Holborn valley, as they could do au now on better terms than hereafter. (Hear.) The amendment was negatived without a division, and the bill paned through committee. The Vardsation (Ireland) Bill likewise passed the con, mittes. The Naval Medical Supplemental Fund Society Winding up Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. The Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Act Cootimmace Bill was read a second thus. The Sale of Mill Sites, Sic. (Ireland), Bill passed the com mittee. On the easeideration of the revert of the Goers! Corn inittee of Elections on the withdrawal of the Lisburn elec tion pstitTa,_. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved that "the petition of William John Lem and Moses Bullick„ complaining of an nodes election and return for the borough of Liabero, do stud referred to the General Committee o Elections, the document withdrawing such petittos not having constituted • withdrawal thereof under the Election Petitions Act, 1848."

GIBSON obtained leave to bring in a bill to authorise the taking of harbour duet at Port Erin, in the Isle of Man, in order to provide • fund for the improvement of the harbour, and for other purposes. EXECUTION OF DECREES. Leave was given to Mr. Butt to bring in a bill to make better provision for the enforcement throughout England sod Ireland of the decrees sod orders of the Courts of Chan cery, Probate, and Divorce. The different bills were subsequently brought in and read a first time. The house adjourned at half-put one o'clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALI/S.—TarßaDAy. Considering that the sporting world ia ea the Sr. of the 1 , great carnival at Epsom, the speculation upon the Derby cam scarcely he said to be so exciting or so animated as in I former yeara, although a large number of animals figure in the return of the betting. An incident has occurred during the put week which has canard a considerable sensation among the supporters of Lord Clifdeo, the reigning favou rite. 11 'same that a dastardly attempt has been made by some malicious persons to injure the horse, and "'though such conspiracies are by no means uncommon, the late attempt was novel in its audecii.y. Lord Chides, it is well known, is bruised as Telsconine, near Lewes, sasses, and in the course of Saturday or Sunday last some scoun drels dug holes in the turf upon the exercise ground, and tilled them up with sharp atones, evidently with the lawn' tioa of maimurg the favourite. Fortunately the traps were discovered and ell danger avoided. Lord St. Vincent has offered a reward of 11.01. for the conviction of the rascals imp'icated in this shameful Waimea'. Betting this after noon was not characterised by any importantoperations upon the coining struggle for the blue tiband of the turf, but the room and lawn were crowded with sprat/Wm, and many of the principal aristocratic patrons of racing. There were also • large number of country subscribers present, who have arrived in London for ' the Derby week." Lord Chiden was still firm, for although 5 to 1 was offered, anything over that figure would have been accepted to • very large amount. Macaroni at one time threatened to overhau t the favourite, but after awhile 11 to 2 was laid, and at the close the acme price could have been had to any money. Saccbarometer advanced a point from last week's quotation, 9to 1 being the highest offer, after 10 to 1 had been taken freely. The features of the afternoon were the advance of liespodar and the retrogression of The Binger. The former " came " such • hot favourite in the City in the morning that after being " pot up " at 20 to 1, he ran to as short a prioe se 12 to 1 offered. At Hyde-park-corner, however, he was scarcely in such strong demand, although supported for " lumps of money" at 16 to 1, at which pm be left off firm. Tom Fool and King of the Vale were etch in good request at 100 to 6 (taken). The Ranger began to exhibit symptoms of "going' early in the afternour, and in his downward course he found a few supper tan here and there until he reach: 125 to 1 (taken and offered), al though one speculator towards the clove endeavoured in vain to turn the tide of fortune by accepting 20 " tanners" about Mr. Savile's horse, National Guard would seem to have got the coup de grace, u the long odds of 40 to 1, al though booked about hunt, were not responded to " kindly." Blue Mantle, who has been on the shelf since his exhibition in the Two Thousand, was brought out for a brush, out offers of 50 to 1 failed to tempt his followers. A whole squadron of °abiders were introduced, several of whom were invested upon at ridiculously long prices, while some failed to tempt backers at any odds.

THE SPITFIRE D FOREL —While the Charleston attics has proved, what scarcely needed proof, that if ves sels can be detained under the fire of forts, they will coon prefer to retreat, it gives us very little help towards solving the problem bow to keep an eeemy's vessel out of range of Peetunouth dockyard. What is successful for coos fa a narrow, shallow channel, cannot be relied so for a perma nent security in a broad sod deep estuary. Now the fatal blot in the theory of the Spithead forte is this, that if they cannot utterly exclude the enemy's vowels ? they are useless sod delusive. If any ship can succeed in running put them, it reaches at once an " area of invulnerability," in which, while practically safe itself, for such time as its SuZserequires, it can at easy nage pitch shells into the ard. It an only be stopped from this pastime by being attacked and boarded or sunk by an equal or superior naval force. If, then, we are to keep at Porten:math a naval force sufficient to keep us quite safe is the event of such so encounter, it is clear that the forts are supergeous. If we are not to keep such a "efficient naval force, the forte will not 'apply its place ; and if, confiding in them, we per mit a possible deficiency of naval strength, they axe tree cherous.—The Mirror.

Jaws de Mato Mew°, 44, Peruvian soldier, was charged with the wilful murder of Manuel Rodriguez Silva. Mr. Daly prosecuted ; Mr. Sleigh was counsel for the prisoner. This charge was preferred cruder very peculiar circum stances. It will be remembered that 011 the 20th of March last a very serious affray took place between the seamen sad military belonging to the Peruvian corvette the Aram, lying at Blackwell, during which seven persona lost their lives. The deceased, who was • youth about 17 years of age, bad, unhappily for him, gone to visit his brother, who was an o ffi cer belonging to the Areo, on the day the affair happened, and he was in the cabin when the prisoner, who was one of the crew, was alleged to have rushed in with • drawn bayonet in his hand, and in • very excited state, and the deceased, snook with terror, and with • view to avoid what he eoaddered imminent peril, jumped out of the cabin window with the inteetioe of swimming on shore, but he was, e aoll. s zop ily, drowned. Upon these facts the h prisoner was with the crime of wilful murder, upon the legal assumption that the prisoner, by his violence, sod at the same time armed with • deadly weapon, had reused such a well paraded apprehension of violence in the mind of the deceased, that he was responsible for the consequences of this feeling. The evidence of identity was not at all dear, and it will be seen that the cue for the prosecution meted entirely upon an assomptioe of law. After one or two witnesses had been examined, the jury expressed au opinion that the evidence was not by any means of a character to sup pat the charge, sad they there fore at once returned a verdict of Net °witty. Sarah Wigley, 25, was charged with the wilful murdered her male illegitimate child. Mr. Poland'prosecuted ; Mr. Cooper defended the prisoner through the kind instrumentality of the sheriffs. This was one of those painful miss in which the mother of an illegitimate child was charged with having wilfully destroy . d its Ede in order to avoid the shame sad exposure coosequent u its birth, • elms of offence that would appear to be, pon unhappily, but too frequent. The prisoner appeared to have been a respectable girl, and she was en gaged as domestic servant with a family residing in Great Queeneinet. On the 39th of March she we. (mod in the kitchen in a very weak and almost fainting state, and it was very soon discovered that she had bees recently delivered of a child, and, iedeed, she did not appear herself to have denied that this was the ores. Upon a search being made on the following day, the dead body of a male child war &wavered in the cistern , in which there was about a foot depth of water, and it was found that a ligature bad bean tied tightly twice round the neck. Mr. Bennett, a surgeon, was promptly called in, and from the examination he made of the body, be came to the ooeclusion that the infant was full grown, and that it we. born alive and that its death resulted from strangulation, occevionol by the ligature that was tied round its seek. He, however, admitted on crow-examination that nearly all the appear ances upon which be founded his opinion might have pre sented themselves without the child being boi a alive in the ewe required by the law to support a charge of wilful murder. Mr. Cooper made a most feeling appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and after the learned judge had summed up, the jury found the prisoner Not Guilty of murder, but Guilty of endeavouring to conceal the birth. She was sentenced to six months' bard labour, and the unfortunate young woman was removed from the bar shriek ing violently, sod apparently suffering great mental agony. Harriet Goodlife, 35, a married woman, was charged upon an indictment and by the coroner's uisition with the wilful murder of her child, James Goodlift e. Mr. Taylor prosecuted ; and the prisoner we. defended by Mr. F. H. Lewis. . . . . The evidence in this cue was very short, and it con clusively established the fact that the unhappy pri soner had deliberately caused the death of one of her children by dropping it out of the window of a room she occupied on the second floor of a house in Blossom. street, Norton Foliate. It appeared that the prisoner and her husband, who le a borsekeeper in the same neighbour. hood, had three children, the youngest of whom was about nine months old, and it was the death of this child that wry the subject of inquiry. From the evidence of the landlord of the house where the prisoner lived, it appeared that oa the morning of the 25th of April the prisms: was very violent, and her conduct was such ea to lead to an impression on his mind that she was ineaue. She was quieted by him and her husband at this time, but about one o'clock she again became violent, but at length she calmed hermit, and her husband went to his work, leaving the prisoner in the room with her three children. Nothing more occurred after this, until about four o'clock, when an alarm wu given, and the pri soner was seen to lift up the window and drop, or throw, the child into the street, by which act it received injuries which caused its death very shortly afterwards. When she was taken into custodshe did not attempt to deny having committed the act, but on the contrary she said to the policeman, " I have done it ; take me. I did it through distress." There was no doubt, however, that at the time she acted in the way stated the prisoner was in an unsound state of mind, and the persons living in the house stated that for several days before the occur rence she had acted in the most [extraordinary manner, and she was so violent and talked so incoherently that her husband would not let her go out ; and Mr. Tender, a surgeon living in the neighbourhood, who uw the prisoner two days before the occurrence, expressed his opinion that she was at that time insane. He also said that, in his opinion, she was progressing towards the condition of not being able to distinguish between right and wrong, orto koow what she was doing. The witnesses for the prosecution also stated that previous to the occurrence taking piece the pri mmer always acted as a kind and affectionate mother to bar children, and Mr. Gibson, the surgeon of the gaol of Nea p* stated that be had paid attention to her since she had been in confinement, and he was of opinion that at the pre sent time she was in an unsound etate of mind. irLevis was about to addrem the jury upon these note, when they intimated that they con►idered it unne cessary for him to do so, and at once returned a verdict of 'Nor Guilty on the ground of insanity. The prisoner was ordered to be detained in custody during her Majesty's pleasure. ElizabetA Heeky. 19, a morose, determined-looking girl, was charged with feloniously setting fire to the workhouse belonging to the guardians of the parish of St. George•in the-East, the irdietment alleging that at the time the act was committed a number of peewits were within the building. Mr. Poland conducted the prosecution. It appeared that the prisoner had been for nearly two years, on and off, chargeable to the parish of St. George, and on the 17th of April she was in the workhouse, and in consequence of some misconduct Mr. Hughes, the master of the establishment, ordered her to be removed from the ordinary paupers and placed in the vagrant ward. In this ward a quantity of straw is kept for the persons who are placed there to lie down upon. and about seven o'clock in the evening this straw was discovered to be in flames. It was ascertained that the prisoner bad obtained possession of a inciter match, and it appeared that she bad ignited it and ' deliberately set fire to the straw, and when she was taken into custody she in the most impudent manner avowed what she had done, and said she would do it again if they did not give her her tea. Fortunately the fire was extin guished before any further mischief was done than the breaking of some of the windows and the charring of a portion of the wood work of the ward, but it appeared that the sleeping room of the assistant matron was directly over the vagrant ward, and there were eight hundred inmates in the workhouse, and the consequences of the mischievous and wicked act committed by the prisoner might have been very serious indeed. The prisoner did not my anything in answer to the charge, but handed up a written paper to his lordship, Use contents of which did not transpire. The jury, without any hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty, and The Learned Judge, after commenting upon the wicked ness of her conduct, sentenced her to be kept in penal servi tude for six years. NEW COURT. The trial of Randent; the fraudulent bankrupt, was re named yesterday morning, and has not yet been brought to • close. The Recorder sat in the Third Court during the day, trying two men, named Crowther and J. Graham, for con- spiracy, but as the case for the prosecution bad only been partly roe into when the court rase we defer a report until it is finished. ATKINS AND ANOTHER v. BOUCICAULT.

Considerable excitement prevailed yesterday at Woolwich. in coovedueoee of the suicide of Mr. George Richard Roberta, a muter baker, for many years residing in that town, the act having been committed under ciimun- Mance, of a painful end extraordinary nature. It appears that a young woman, named Frances Eliza Pastas, for some months servant at the residence of Mr. Roberts, surrendered herself to the police, on her own confession, of basing at tempted to poison her mistress on the previous Sunday, stating that she bad been instigatee. to commit this act by her master, between whom and herself an improper intimacy had ex;sted. The young woman WU removed to the Woolwich police-station, at noon yes terday, and, subsequently. Mr. Inspector Linvell had an interview with Mr. Roberts, informed him of the serious charge made against him, sod requested that he would voluntarily attend the police court at 3 o'clock, in order to be premot at the examination of his accuser, Paxton. To this request Mr. Roberts readily amented, bat about one hour afterwards he was found suspended to the beam in the roof of his stable, having committed suicide in a determined manner. Yesterday afternoon the you= woman, Frances Eliza Paxton, aged eighteen, was placed at the bar before Mr. Traill, charged on her ownconfession with attempting to administer to Elizabeth Roberts • quantity of vitriol, the same being deadly poison, with intent to com mit murder. The only evidence adduced was that given by Police-Inspector Jas. Laird], of the R division, who said that on that morning he went to the residence of the prisoner's father, at 3, Charles-street, Woolwich, and saw the prisoner, whom he asked if it wee true that she bad =- premed • wish to make an important statement to the police? The prisoner said it was, and witness cautiowed her in the usual manner. The prisoner then made • state ment to the effect that on the previous Sunday evening her mistress was away from home, and her master sent her for two half pints of beer, which she obtained in two separate mugs. On her return she bad her supper and drank one of the half pints of beer, the other being intended for her mistrees. During the time that the prisoner was having her supper her muter was conversing with her, and com plained that his wife kept such late bourn. Her master took • bottle from a shelf sad gave to the prisoner, saying, "That will settle her." The prisoner then, in the presence of her mister, poured a considerable quantity of the liquid from the bottle into the mug containing the beer, and afterwards went to bed. The prisoner also stated that her master had seduced her shortly after she entered his service. Inspector imtvill now produced the bottle, which was labelled "vitriol, poison," and contained a quantity of that fluid. He also stated that on returning home Mrs. Roberts was about to drink the beer, but rejected it in consequence of its unpleasant taste, and kept it until the following morn ing, when it was banded to Dr. Stuart, who at =de stated that it was mixed with poison. The prisoner was then remanded, and the magistrate directed that the beer pm. duced should be subjected to analysis. Mr. Cartier, coroner for the district, will bold an inquiry relative to the suicide.

Yesterday, in Earl Donoughmore's committee, the bill for the amalgamation of the North Fasters an y Stockton and Darlington Railways was passed. Mr. Cal vert, Q.C., then opened the ma* of the West Hartlepool Railway Company at great length, from which it appeared that the aggregate amount which the company have been authoriesd to raise as capital is 2,100,0004, and by borrowing 700,0001., making together 2,810,0004, and that the trot. pany now are liable to what are called "primary charges to the amount of 726.0004, in addition to which tbr s hate a debenture stock and debt amounting to 2,699,1621. and • preferential and ordinary capital of 527,7501., making a total of 3,952.9671. The main object of the company is to confirm, in contravention of their acts of parliament and of the standing orders, the large excess in loan and sham capital created beyond their powers by legalising the deben ture debt, authorising the raising of 726.0001. to pay off some amounting to that figure, and to borrow on mort gage 1,40.0004, to pay off arrears of interest and divers debt' and liabilities amounting to 292,2201. The Chairman : Then your company comes to us to legalise this large amount of overdrawn debenture debt, crested in mew of the company's powers, to legalise stock admittedly raised illegally, and to enable von to borrow further money.
