LaMar- Dr IS al AIM WIMP nen CHARGE AGAINST A CLERGTMAN.—At the I%lart , leboue yestry on Saturday Mr. Nicholay esimplained on ge- half of Mr. Bauer. of Oxford-street, that the Bey. Mr. Bacon, curate of All Souls church, had refused to afford I religious eonsolation to a dying woman % I wo as k e d so to do. lu defences"( the elergymau it was urged that the sick person who wished fur Christian consolation lived out of his I district, and that itwasoontrary to rule and to the orders or the Bishop of Loudon for any clergyman to officiate out of ' his own district unless at the solicitation of the pastor of such district. Several gentlemen addressed the vestry on the subject.said ths had • chureh eetablishment, and they had a right to that establishment. (Hear.) The rateyays rs were much indebted to Mr. Piieholay for haviiw brought this subject forward—(hear, bear)—aud it was a must serious grievance that the wife of a ratepayer could not have religious consolation on her death bed. In this instance the dying woman was compelled to have the assistance of a person not qualified to give her that eptritual consolation she required, or hare none at all. (Hear.) They had heard a vast deal about districts, and it appears*" that this preveding, had occurred from carrying out certain rules laid down by the bishop. (No, no.)—The Itev Mr. Baring By the heptarehy.—Mr. Hume: Bother the heptarrhy. (laughter. and •• Ilear, hear.") At all events. it appeared that the rev. gentleman said it was the law. if that be the C• 01.., then a committee of inquiry was necessary. to see how the law really stood, and to obtain re dress elsewhere. Ile hoped there was no desire on the pan of the rev. gentleman to shrink from inquiry. It was not Mr. Baring that was blamed, but the stem and, if it nes the system. then he (Mr. Hume) woul sy d say ; that there sever was a time in the annals of that country when the ebundi of England was more called on than the present to amend their system. (Hear.) A gfiIIVIIICT had been proved, and there ought to he no grievance without a remedy. Be again said that they did aid blame individuals, but the system, and he would declare that a system which tolerated that which bad come out in this ilia- CVlsoblOn was neither Christian, charitable, nor humane, and was more worthy of the character of a barbarous state than of a great, civilised nation. He (Mr. Hume) did not intesfen- much in the administration of religious affairs, but be must say that this was the first time that he had ever heard a Isishop. or any sine else, laying down rules pro bffiiting clergymen from attending to afford consolation in the hour of death. Ile cared not of what religion a man was; hr would contena that because he lived across the of Osfonlatnst he ought not to he left in his dying hour without thA religious consolation being afforded `him hr a minister of that nligion which he professed, and not by another in whose teaching he had no confidence. If it was the system. it was time something was dune to alter the system. 'let the vestry show by an inquiry, and an appeal to parliament, that whilst they weft anxious to support the church, they were equally anxious to sweep swap its abuse.. Mr. Nieholay morel for a committee to investigate the =Afire ; but upon the proposission being put to the vote, it was lost by a niajority of eight. Mr. Whitmore then gave notice that on Saturday neat be would move, That a com mittee he appointee' to consider the nature and results of the present divtraon of the parish into ecclesiastical districts , , and report the sane to the entry." AnctlBl-410e Oe l OAK UN EDlXATlON.—Yesterday morning the Arc hhishop of York preached at All Saints' Gordon.square. in tehali of the Day and Sunday National Schools, Norumer-market, Tottenkam-cuart-road. Th e text selected by his grace was ° Wiadom and tumuli*. shall be thestability of thy times, and strengthof salvation." There wee a time,lie said, when the policy of educating the people at large was questioned. but now the only difficulty was, bow they could be the most efficiently educated. Education was the safest rampart of civilised society; it not only tended to raise the individual charac t er of the people. but it made them more intelligent artisans and enlightened citizens; and more, it had reference to the life to come. Religious education founded upon Scripture was the only lasting foundation, and to deny it would be as unreasonable as to deny them the light of the sun. It had been said that education made the people discontented with their station in life, and such might be the result of an improper system, but what he desired to WC aas not a slavish and ignorant submission to the government and clergy, such as existed among some of the nations on the continent, but an enlightened contentment which resulted from conviction and such as would result from an improved system of education. AU the good results that had been linked for from the spread of education had nut been re alised. nor did he expect it in this age, owing to the defi ciency of education en the parents of the rising generation. His grace concluded by making an earnest appeal on be half of the schools of the district, where SOO children re ceived instruction and a limited number were clothed. The amount collected sas 361. Ids. Tn! FATAL EXPLOSION OF NAPIER AT SALFORD. —On Friday afternoon an inquest was held upon the body of Mr. J. W. Modems, who was killed on the same day by an explosion of naptha which took place at a chemical ma nufiulery in Sprinfield-lane, Silfurd. The main facts con nected with the melancholy occurrence appeared in Satur day's Express. Mr. Stephen Whitt, the proprietor of the manufactory, accounted for the occurrence of the acci dent by stating while the oil, consisting of naptha, pare phene, and other kite oils, were in process of distillation, the paraphene, being a hard waxy substance, passing over into the condenser with the naptha, had congealed or solidified in the worm, and no vent being given for the other con densed vapours, a very high pressure must have been caused in the body of the baler, and that ultimately the lead pipe or condenser burst ; at the same time a syphon had been formed by means of the neck of the still, and the contents of the boiler must have been syphoned out, and received into the one tub, sod have overflowed into the fireplace, thence taking fire, and causing the accident. The jury re turned a verdict of " Accidental death." CONVICT LABOUR DT PORTSMOUTH DOCKYARD. PORTSMOUTH, FEE. 16, A correspondent says: "An anticipated increase in the number of convicts at this port, and a change in the mode of their location, have excited considerable apprehen sions in the minds of the inhabitants. Hitherto the convicts have been located on board hulks in the harbour; but the building of a new prison, or " Convict's Home," as it is called, has been commenced in close contiguity to the dock yard, and which is intended to accommodate 1,000 persons. It is feared that these measures arc being taken with the view of employing convict labour in the dockyard, and at the other governmental establishments, to a larger extent ,than even at present, and that, consequently, a consider- - I able number of free labourers will be thrown out of employ, It becoming, in many instances, with their families, chargeable 20 1 to the parish, as has been the case on previous dis charges of such persons. It is apprehended, too, that n 1 the locality will become stigmatised as a penal settlement, le and that the location of 1,000 convicted felons in the most densely populated part of the borough will, by bringing :o them into frequent contact with the inhabitants, be a u source of great annoyance and contamination to the morals Ist of the population. It is also thought that injury and deal triment will result from the families and friends of convicts g . 4 making Portsmouth their home, anti thus introducing a la very objectionable addition to the population. All the ti above evils, or most of them, arc entirely obviated by the as system of hulking the convicts in the harbour, and so cut. IS ting them off from all contact with the inhabitants. So t I strongly have the inhabitants been influenced by these and I other reasons, that a public meeting took place—the mayor 1 0 la the chair—en Wednesday last, having been convened on si • requisition signed by 300 persons, when the projected con- s r Viet establishment was denounced in the strongest possible s o skinner. In addition to this a deputation, appointed by the IS borough council, and consisting of the mayor (B. Bramble, is Esq.) and councillors Henry Ford, G. Sheppard, and H. F. 20 Gauntlett, accompanied by the town clerk (John Howard, 1, 5 E.g.). proceeded to London on Friday last, and had an interview with the Home Secretary, fur the purpose of urging the objections entertained by the locality to what it is universally considered will be a nuisance and disgrace to it. The deputation, although received with the greatest courtesy by Sir George Grey, failed in eliciting anything from him that could lead them to indulge the hope that the obnoxious step would be either suspended or modified: indeed all that could be gathered from the honourable r s i baronet was indicative of an intention on the part of the 12! flume-cam of extending the system of home location of SO convicts, and that the erection of the prison in Portsmouth r ( ', l was but one step towards tarrying such intention intoeffect. at The report of the deputation is to be presented to the town 24 council on Monday, when avt ry display of feeling in fn looked fur. st. THE GAME LAWS.—INFAMOCA OISTRAGE.—A ease It which has produced no trifling sensation, came before the Di 4udgi , of the County Court, at Holheach, Lincolnshire, on at I Tuesday lad. A young fisherman, named Daniel Cleo, rt i sued a Mr. Elliff, an opulent fame r, residing in Ilona:act Marsh, (or 101., as compensation for injuries sustained as from being purpoecly shut by the defendant. On the s ith of December the plaintiff, it appears, went upon some 121 land belonging to a Mr. Wooley, and killed a hare. He $ was about going away from the spot, when he saw the de- 94 - ftudant (Mr. Ellin) in an adjoining field. Defendant 1 5 . lowed him, and, on nearing him, he painted a double-bar to relied gun close to Gee's head, and vowed he would mark At him. Ile kept walking up with the plaintiff, when he 30 suddenly lingered behiud, and plaintiff distinctly heard a 4 0 percussion-cap explode, and the content of one of the bar- ge„,, eels lodged in the ground. Plaiutiff then addressed EUitf, and maid, " Surely you don't mean to shout me in this e L lonely place ?" He replied, " I du mean to shout you." to After accompanying him about a quarter of a mile, he 10 stopped, and having taken a deliberate aim, fi red, and g the shot of the second barrel struck him in the right tul hand and arm. inflicting serious wounds. Defendant then ex- 5 . claimed-- Now lean take you ; I have marked you so shall know you again, and I will g" back and look for the ot. hare." The plaintiff thus contrived to crawl on to Hol Sa - beach, enduring the most excruciating agony, when he gt was taken into custody Sir trespassing in pursuit of game, and was committed to Spoiling gaol for one month. Mr. 5 Wilkinson, a surgeon, attended the wounded man in prison. at. There were from :10 to IO shot wounds on his right arm and 5 hand, and great fears were entertained of lock-jaw setting in. The injuries he hail sustained had entirely prevented him doing any work since. The her. Mr. Murton, a ma- ;5 gistratc, before whom the case was first brought, stated, If that he asked defendant why he committed so rash an act 21 , as to shout Gee, when he replied, that he had merely done so to " mark him." The judge ;Mr. J. D. Burnaby) said, the act of the defendant in firing at Dec was wholly unjus tifiable. In calculating damages, he did not conceder the It. of time for the month's imprisomnent, because plaintiff had rendered himself liable to that by trespa'sing in pursuit of game, but considered the acute pain endured in gaol, and the probable loss of time to come ; and he gave a Ter diet fur plaintiff fur 3,a/. and costs. DESPERATE CONFLICT WITH Two BURGLARIC—OR Saturday morning, between the hours of one and two o'clock, a most deaperate attempt was made by two bur glars on the life of Mr. Bateman, carrier, of King John's court, Shoreditch.. Mr. Bateman went home at that time, and had entered by his outer gate, when he was pounced on by the ruffians, one of whom felled him by a blow front a life-preserver, while the other snapped at him a pistol, which Lashed in the pan. Mr. Ltateman, who is a power ful young man, struggled with the vagabonds bravely, and compelled them to make a hasty retreat. Puliee-coustables, who had been drawn to the spot by the cries for assistance of Mr. Bateman, found him lyin g . insensible, and bleeding from several wounds on the head. They of course immedi ately, rendered all necessary attention to him, and after he had been restored to consciousness an investigation was made with him by Sergeant Harvey, 1 1 0, and it was dis counts] that nearly every portable article, consisting of plate, jewellery, and other valuables, bad been packed up by the thieves en the kitchen, as if fur a speedy removal. A WOMAN SHOT BY HER IIUSIIAND.-011 SHOP day night last, the neighbourhood of Sheaf-street, in D6Ttn. try, was thrown into great consternation and alarm um*. abased by a report of lire-arms, accompanied by shrieks, which proceeded from a public-house, called the Waggon and Horns. A great number of peop:c soon suaenahled to ascertain the cause, when it was discovered that a woman had been shot in the passage by a man who, on effecting (as he supposed) his purpose, ran off, but being observed Con ning. he was overtekes at the top of the street, and, with out any resistance, gave himself up, exclaiming at the same time, " Lam the man that shot her; she is my lawful wife." Ile was immediately handed over to the custody of the police, by whom he was properly secured. The knowing are some of the particulars of the apace tragical event The man, whose name is Hurst, has been resident at Northampton many years, where he maintained a reputable character as a journeyman shoemaker His marriage with his present wife took place about twelve months ago, and for a short time they lived together very comfortably ; but she turned out a had character, and about two months ago absconded with another married man, who was lodging in the same house. After a short tins,• he traced them to Ket tering, where he followed them and had an interview, but she refused to return with him. On Saturday last, hearing that she was at Daventry, and feeling exasperated at her conduct, he resolved to be revenged upon her for the in juries he had sustained. Accordingly, basing provided himself with a pistol, he proceeded to search for her, and succeeded in Eluding her at the above public-house. He requested the, waiter to call her out to him, and on b. r entering the passage' he immediately discharged the pistol (which contained a double charge of No. 3 shot) at her, the contents of which passed through her arm (which she had raised in defence), and grated the left side of the head. She now lies in a dangerous state ; it is supposed that some shots have pene trated the brain. On Tuesday he was brought befon , the magistrates, Joseph Cartel', Msg., mayor, and Matthew Sharman, Esq., when several witnesses were examined, and the prisoner entered into a somewhat lengthy statement of his wife's conduct, with a view of exonerating hizmelf in' some measure for committing so rash and desperate an act. He was then fully committed, end taken to the county gaol at Northampton to await his trial.—Northansptus Mercury. ALLEGED NIVRDER By IRISIDIEN.-011 Sunday 1 night last a murderous attack was made at Wednesbury, in Staffordshire, upon John Welsh, an Irishman, by four or five fellows, also Irishmen. It is supposed that the offend ing parties entertained some ill feeling against Welsh, and upon meeting him near the Gate, at Lea Brouk, they com menced a deadly assault upon him with bricks, cinders, &e. Leaving him weltering in his blood and apparently dead, they proceeded to a house in the immediate neighbourhood, occupied by a relative of Welsh's, and who, it is conjec tured, had also in some way excited their ill will. They were in the act of battering down the door when fortu nately some of the police arrived, and succeeded in cap turidg one of the !party, named John Moran, upon whom they found a quantity of furnace cinders. Welsh, who was conveyed to his home, lingered in a !date of mad ness until Tues day morning, when death put an end to his sufferings. On Friday an inquest was held on the body, when a number of witnesses were examined, from whose evidence it appeared that the men who committed this most brutal homicide were named William Moran, Patrick M'Farlane, Francis Cosgraye, and John Moran. A verdict of " Wilful murder" was returned, and M'Farlane and W. Moran, who are in custody. were committed for trial. Th e Ernors, Captain Lott, sailed from Liverpool, on Saturday, for Halifax and Boston. RAIL JVA YS. THIS DAT. Two o'CLooc.

The report to be submitted to the meeting on the 10th inst. states that, " Since the last half-yearly meeting of the company, the first section of the company's proposed line of railway from Calcutta to the north-west provinces of India has been determined upon. The nuthorities have sanctioned the construction of a line of railroad from Howrah, opposite Calcutta, to Pundoah, with a branch line into the Itanegunge Collieries. The total length will be from 120 to 130 miles, and will, in the first instance, be laid with a single line of rail. Contracts for the construc tion of the first 40 miles, to Pundoah, have been let in India, and the works commenced. The board of dime- tors ripest to beat by an early mail that the remaining dis tance is also uncle contract. These contracts, which have been taken by highly respectable parties, embrace the maintenance of the line at the expense. of the contractors, for three years after construction ; and are let upon terms which have received the sanction of the government of India, and the company's agent and engineer. The board of directors bare declared forfeited 1,1.51 shares, held in India, for non-pavment of calls ; and in accordance with the provisions of the company's act of incorporation, submit such forfeiture fur the confirmation of this meeting." WINDING UP OF JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES. THE ROYAL BANK OF AUSTRALIA.

TILE lIEMP AND FLAX .!4'..5 .- CFACTURING COM- MONEY MARKET. THIS DAT. Twe oTtoeic.. The market for the home funds has been steady to-day, but the business presents no feature of no velty, and prices arc now quoted the same as at the close of Saturday's market. Quietude is the chief feature, but the tone is at present a shade less firm than at the opening. Consols touched 961 for cash in the early part of the day, but they arc now quoted, as they left off on Saturday. 961 for money, and 961 to for the 11th of March. The prices officially reported are: Three per Cent. Consols, 96h ; do. for aceount,96l, 1; Reduced Three per Cents.. 97k, 97; New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents.,99 981. South Sea Stock, 107!. Bank Stock is firm, and marks 213, and 1. The unfunded securities ore still depressed, - and looking down. Exchequer Bills, 1,000!., have been sold at 525. to 555. and (At prem.; ditto 500/. and small at 50e. India Bonds, large, at 64s.prem. ; ditto under 1,0001., at 60s. prem. The business in the foreign stock market is moderate, and the various securities remain steady at former prices; but there has been some demand for Buenos Ayres Bonds, and the price has gone up to 55, being a rise of nearly 2 per Cent. The market for this stock is at all times very narrow, only a small quantity being generally obtainable, and prices are consequently affected to a considerable ex tent by operations of only a moderate character. The demand alluded to is understood to be based upon a more favourable interpretation of the intelli gence relative to the financial condition of the Ar gentine republic, as advised by the recent arrival. There appears to be also a cessation of the war like rumours before reported. The sales of the morning, which include operations in Greek Bonds, comprise :—Brazilian Old Five per Cent. Bonds, 92. Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 531, 65. Chilian Three per Cents., 65. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 58L Greek Bonds, 1824 and 1823, cx over due coupons, 5;. Mexican Bonds, for the account of the 28th inst., 331. Peruvian Deferred Bonds, 361. Portuguese Five per Cents., Russian Four and-a-ilalf per Cents., 971 1. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 20 ; ditto for the account, 19; ; ditto Passive Bonds, 4'.L. 5. The temporary pressure for money to which we referred last week has so increased that the nuu•ket rates arc equal to those of the Bank, and even first class bills cannot be discounted under 3 per cent. We still entertain the opinion that, with the super abundance of capital throughout Europe, the rate of 3 per cent. cannot be kept up. The demand we con sider as simply temporary, and unless trade becomes more active and a brisk business demand arises, a continuous high rate cannot be supported. The Ex chequer Bill market has been during the week dis turbed by the demand for money, but in the bullion market and exchanges there are symptoms that the continental speculations in coin have abated, and that a more regular course of trade will prevail in central Europe. Partly in consequence of large ex change operations and the earlier remittance of bills here there is a glut of money in Hamburg and Frankfort ; and while we consider that discounts will fall here, we think they will, on the equilibrium being restored, rise in the two markets named, though not to any considerable extent. Foreign rates of discount muy be quoted as fol lows :—Adelaide, 25 per cent.; Amsterdam. 2 per cent.; Antwerp, 2 to 4 per cent.; Bourbon, 6 per cent.; Bordeaux, 4 per cent. ; Brussels, 4 per cent.; Copenhagen, 5 per cent.; Frankfort, 11 per cent.; Hamburg, 11 per cent.; Havre, 4 per cent.; Ha vannah, 8 to 9 per cent.; Madrid, 6 per cent. ; Mar seilles, 4 per cent.; New York, 6 to 7 per cent.; Paris 31 to 4 per cent.; Peru, 24 per cent.; Phila delphia, 5 to 6 per cent.; Rotterdam, 21 per cent.; Rio Janeiro, 7 per cent.; Trieste, 41 to 41 per cent.; Vienna, 3 per cent.; 'Valparaiso, 12 per cent. The following is the state of the flank of Vienna to the 28th January: Bunion and coin £3,333,092 Discounts Bank notes 2.5,624,440 The returns of the Bank of Cadiz for the month of January, 1851, show that the discounts area 63.0981., •, circulation, 108,4801.; cash, 133,075/. 'The bullion market, beyond the fact mentioned by us yesterday of the considerable reduction in the price of dollars, presents no ground for comment. The foreign markets at last advises were steady at the reduced quotations for silver, but the next week's reports will most probably inform us of the action resulting from the decline niece. The imports of bullion this week have been limited to 54,500'., by the Asia, from the United States. The amount of the precious metals exported from the port of London during the week ending Thurs day last, we learn from official sources, was 10,000/., and 5,000 ounces of gold. and 34,328 ounces of silver, shipped as follows :—Gold coin : to the Cape of Good Hope, 10,000/. Gold bars : to Dunkirk, 5,000 oz. Silver coin : to Madras, 20,000 oz.; to Belgium, 14,528 or. The total value of these ex ports is about 38,000/. Other exports have been by the Tay, Brazil steamer, 128,0001. As regards the approaching dividends, Herapath hears, " from good authority," that the Lancashire and Yorkshire directors have decided upon recom mending a dividend of 24 per cent. The same authority understands that the dividend on the Am ber,gate shares will be at the rate of Is. 6d. per share, though the line has only been open six months, and that the earnings amount to more. It has, however, been stated, that the dividend will not exceed In., the acceptance of which or otherwise will be left to the shareholders to decide. The York and North Midland dividend, it has already been announced in the Express, will be only Ms. per share. As regards the Eastern Counties, Ilerapath observes " The accounts are not yet made up, but we fear the dividend will be of the microscopic kind. Their receipts have been less, and, we hear, their ex penses greater. There was a talk of a shilling a share, but, if what we hear be true, the shareholders may think themselves fortunate if they get more than a fraction of a shilling." From an analysis of the railway traffic returns of the United Kingdom for the past week (which were published in the Express of last Saturday), given by Herapath's Journal, it appears that 224;7441. was received on 6,255 miles, being at the rate of 361. per ! mile per week. For the corresponding period of 1850, 203,019/. was received on 5,570 miles, or at the rate of 361. los. per mile per week. There is thus an increase in the amount received of 21,7261., or 10.7 per cent.; an increase in the mileage of 683 miles, or 12.29 per cent.; and a decrease of 10s. in the amount received per mile per week. The gross amount received since the commencement of the year is 1,354,7091. against 1,171,064/. in the correspond ing period of last year, showing an increase of 183,6431.

After some discussion, the list was then proceeded with, and all those gentlemen who had signed the deed, which his Honour observed was one of the most perfect documents of its kind, were placed thereon as liable ; and at Ilse o'clock the proceedings were adjourned LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM EXTENSION RAILWAY.— On Saturday Mr. Swifte, as counsel on behalf of the official manager, and Mr. Glasse and Mr. Phillips on behalf of Mr. Pritchard, engineer, attended before his Honour Master Blunt, on the proof by the latter of 4,500/., balance of 11,0001., when his Honour refused it as a debt, but allowed it as a claim. THE CEREMONY OF ENTHRONING DR. BRIGGS', the Roman catholic Bishop of Beverley, took place on Thurs day last in St. George's Chapel, York. The ceremony was commenced by a procession of priests to the altar, the bishop bringing up the rear. At the altar, the service began, and in a short time the bishop was robed and in vested with the insignia of his office, when be took his chair. A sermon was then delivered, and mass having been celebrated, the audience separated. CONVERTS TO TIIE CHURCH OF ROME.—The Rev. Mr. Harper, of the Proprietary Chapel, Pimlico, was last week received into the Roman catholic church by the Rev. Dr. Whitty. The Rev. Henry Bedford, curate to Mr. Scott, of Holton, was likewise admitted a member of the same church by the Rev. F. Oakeley, at Islington. It is stated that several members of the congregational the first , named seceder are about to follow the example of their pwsor. EXTENSIVE DEFALCATION BY A TAX-COLLECTOR. —On Saturday, Mr. Stone, an old inhabitant of the parish ~f St. Marv, Newington, and who for several years has held the situation of eolleetor of the property-tax in that parish, was apprehended at his residence, Park-street, Camden-town, by Sergeant Quinnesr, I P, and lodged in Horsemonger-lane Gaol on a warrant issued by the Com missioners of Income and Property-tax, charging him with being a defaulter of the mone y collected by him to the amount of 1,5001 . A discovery of the defalcation was made nearly twelve months ago, at which time Mr. Stone ab sconded. A warrant for his apprehension had been issued at that time by the commissioners at Somerset House, and it was placed in the hands of the parish constable for execu tion. That functionary failed to execute his commission but information of the defaulter's return having reached the commissioners a new warrant was prepared and put in force. It is believed that Mr. Stone's sureties will nut be able to pay a shilling . of the deficiency, and the 1,r,001. has been a second time raised by the parish. THE WARRINGTON MURDER.—COMMITTAL OF THE PHISONER.—On Friday Patrick Lyons, charged with the murder of Margaret Fahey, and who was arrested in Lon don on Wednesday last, after having enlisted in the East India Company's service, was brought_ before the magistrates at Warrington, for examination. The most intense interest was manifested by the hababitanta. The old woman (Peggy Collies), Sergeant Brandwood, Thomas Newsome, and Dr. Davies, were examined, and gave similar evidence to that given by them upon the committal of the prisoner's wife. Some aaditional evidence affecting Lyons exclusively having been taken, the usual caution was read to him and he was asked if he had anything to say. He then made a statement to the effect that the murderwas committed by his wife, and that on learning what had taken place he immediately absconded. He was fully committed to take his trial at the ensuing assizes fur the wilful murder of Margaret Fahey. THE INCOME TAX.—On Saturday a return to par liament was printed, showing that, in the year ending the sth of April, 1849, the net income of property and income tax recovered was 5,605,5321., of which 2,656,7961. was col lected under schedule A, 3:91,0981. under schedule B, 750,7811. under schedule C, 1,529,3981. under schtdule 1), and 348,4.191. under schedule E. OP A IItsSENTINO MINISTEIL—An inquest was held on Friday last at Kidwelly on the body of the Rev. 'William Davie*, generally known as Mr. Davies, of Africa, from the circumstance of his haying many years ago been engaged as a missionary at Sierra Leone, in con nexion with the Wesleyan Missionary Society. It appeared by the evidence adduced at the inquiry that fur seven years the deceased had been subject to occasional periods of great mental excitement, but during the last four months of his life he became exceedingly depressed. It was likewise stated that his last marriage was a very infelicitous one. A verdict was returned to the effect that deceased committed suicide by hanging himself, he being at the time insane.— Swansea Herald.- PORTSMOCTII, FEB. 16.—The Scatiower, cutter, Lieutenant Fletcher, sailed yesterday for the channel islands.
