Earl RUSSELL said, in consequence of the new ministry not being quite completed, he had been requested by the Earl of Derby to move that all public business be post poned till Monday next. Lord BROUGHAM did not rise to oppose the motion, but to express his utmost horror at the present state of Europe, and of the cruel and un-Christian-like conduct of so many of the powers. Thousands and tens of thousands of persons were gathered together for the sake of commit ting murder or being themselves murdered. Never was Europe in such a state before ; but he must add, in fairness to Austria, that she had been the only one whose conduct was defensible. Italy had not a particle of right to take Venetia. The Venetians had the right to throw off the yoke of a foreign power. In this grave state of things it was stated that Austria had ceded Venetia to France, who had been a by• strode:, and he hoped that whoever won, or whoever robbed or lost, the people of France would be unanimous in opinion that that country should be in favour of peace, and he also hoped that nothing would occur to interrupt the progress of the new negotiations. An armistice had been called for by the Emperor, and he hoped it would be followed by a oongresa His own opinion was that the territory of Venetia should not belong to Italy, but that it should be a free country—free from a foreign yoke. The motion was agreed to. COMMERCIAL REPORTS. Earl RUSSELL then laid on the table, by her Majesty's oommand, the commercial reports of htr Majesty's consuls abroad. ---- The house adjourned at a quarter past five. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY, JULY 5. The house met at four o'clock. DEVONPOILT ELECTION. The SPEAKER informed the house that he had re. °saved a letter from the petitioners against the late return for Davenport, stating that it was not their intention to proceed with the petition. HELSTON ELECTION PETITION. Mr. R. GURNEY brought up the report of the Helton election committee, which has already been published at luOi. The report declared Robert Campbell, Fag. not to have been duly elected ; W. B. Brett, Eu to have been duly elected. The CLERK of theCrowNhaving brought up the amended return, Mr. Barer came to the table and was duly sworn in u lumber for the borough of Helton. Mr. LOWE said be had been instructed, as chairman of the committee, to state that although the retaining officer had received notice from the parties that his evidence would not be required, yet the committee were of opinion that some of the facts disclosed required further elucida tion, and they had instructed him (Mr. Lowe) to make a motion requiring the attendance of the returning officer for examination. He moved, therefore, that the report of the Heleton committee be taken into consideration that day fortnight, and that the returning officer be ordered to attend at the bar. Motion put and agreed to. THE NEEDLE RIFLE. Captain VIVIAN gave notice that on Tuesday, the 17th instant, he should ask the Secretary for War whether his attention had been drawn to the late successes of the Prussian army, which seemed to be attributed in a great Measure to the superiority of the Prussian needle ride over the Austrian murzle loader ; whether the authorities bad taken any steps to supply our troops with the needle gun, or any other description of breech loader in the place of the Enfield rifle ; and if so when they were likely to be sapplied. (Hear, hear.) THE BALLOT. ?tr. H. BERKELEY postponed his motion on this sub ject till Tuesday week. THE ILUIR RATE OF DISCOITNT. ➢lr. WATKIN eked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what communications had taken place between himself and the Bank of England, in reference to his letter, and to the continuance of the discount rate of 10 per cent. by the Bank. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I do not know that I can say that any communications of a formal or official nature have taken place. But after writing on the part of the government a letter of that character in conjunction with my noble friend Lord Russell, I natu rally took pains to inform myself, and the governor and deputy-governor of the Bank kindly seconded my desire, as to the course of the operations of the Bank, and the state of its reserve from day to day, so long as it appeared ' to be probable, or within the range of anything like likeli hood, that that letter might be so far acted upon as to lead to proceedings not sustained by the act of 1544. (Hear, hear.) lam not quite sure whether the question of my hun. friend is intended to go beyond that, or whether he desires to know, as I should rather infer from his ones tion, whether and in what degree the government are parties to the present course of action on the part of the Bank. With respect to that subject, the letter , itself explains the point up to which the government is engaged in joint action with the Bank, that is to say ender certain hypothetical circumstances which have not actually arrived. Short of the arrival of those circum stances I do not consider that it is any part of the func tions of the government to attempt to instruct or influence the Bank in regard to the course it may think tit to take in reference to the discount of bills and the price it may charge for acceptance. I think that such a mixture of func tions, if it took place at all, ought to be recognised and defined by law. I am by no means of opinion that it should receive the sanction of law, but certainly nothing can be more inconvenient than the assumption of a respon sibility by the government in the conduct of the onli aary business of the Bank. (Hear, hear.) In the course the government have taken since the issuing of that letter, but especially in the course they have taken within the last two or three weeks, during which there has been some expectation of a reduction of the rate, I can only say that the directors of the Bank have acted entirely upon their own judgment, and bate not been influenced by any consideration relating to the letter of the govern ment. (Hear, bear.) That is all I have thought it my duty to ascertain, and I apprehend that they have been governed entirely by banking considerations. It is not for me to pass any opinion one way or the other upon the rec titude of the judgment they have formed, and undoubtedly I should not wish it to be assumed that I have presumed to arrive at any judgment differing from theirs, or to sup pose that they have formed an incorrect estimate of the circumstances under which they acted. (Hear, hear.) THE PROGRESS OF INDIA. Mr. TRF.VELYAN inquired of the Under Secretary for India whether be was prepared to lay on the table a de tailed statement of the moral and material progress of India, in conformity with the recent act of parliament! Mr. STANSFELD replied that the statement had been laid upon the table, and as it was the first of the kind he might be allowed to say a few words as to its nature and objects. Generally speaking, the detailed reports of the various presidencies, which were very voluminous, had been laid on the table in extenso, but F.arl de Grey was of opinion that the time had arrived when, in conformity with the provisions of the act of parliament, something like a summary of the valuable information detailed in those reports, which ranged over 1,000 or 1,200 pam should be attempted. That was what they had endea voured to do, and the summary had been that day laid on the table in a readable form. He trusted therefore that it would be read, end would tend to popularise and create an interest in Indian affairs, not only in that house but in the country. He wished to acknowledge the obligation the department was under to Mr. Wakefield, a clerk in the Indian-office, who with considerable labour and ability had drawn up the summary, Thich was distinguished by great accuracy and lucidity of Statement. (Hear, hear.) THE CESSION OF VENEFIA. Mr. B. COCHEANE—I wish to ask the Under Secre tary for Foreign Affairs whether the report which ap =2 in the second editions of the papers has been con by the news received at the Foreign-office—namely el the defeat of the Austrian army, and the proposed 'orlon of Venetia. Mr. LAYARD—We have received telegrams which con firm the defeat of the Austrian army between Josephatadt aad KOniggrats, and have every reason to believe that the statement of the Noniteur and the second edition of the daily papers is correct. QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY, IRELAND. Mr. LOWE reminded the house that early in the session his right honourable friend the member for Tamworth £. Peel) sad himself received an smarms, from the Chan. FXPRESS I P 1 DAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1866. , tenor of the, Exchequer, as they 'understood it, that no thing should be done with respect to the Queen's Univer sity in Ireland without giving the house the opportunity of exirn-..:ig au opinion upon it. (Opposition cheers-) Under these circumstances, he wished to ask the Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant whether, notwithstanding that declaration, a charter had not been prepared, and actually signed by her Majesty giving fresh powers in conferring to the senate of the university. de Mr. FORTESCUE said that the government, in pun suance of the promise made at the beginning of the ses sion, bad stated their intentions with respect to the alterations to be made in the Queen's University in Ireland in the form of a letter addressed by the Homo Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant, and laid upon the table of the house immediately after the Easter recen• Some weeks subsequently, when introducing the Irish Reform Bill, which proposed that • member should be given to the Queen's University, he took occasion to state more distinctly the course the govern- ment meant to pursue upon the subject, under the advice of the law officers of England and Ireland, that course being to prepare • supplemental charter, and a bill to supply what might be wanting in the charter. These two statements of the intentions of the government having passed unchallenged by the house, they proceededto act upon them. The supplemental charter had received the Queen's signature two or three weeks ago, the effect being to enable the Senate of, the Queen's University to confer degrees upon all who might pass their examinations, without regard to their place of education. That, according to the advice of the law officers, was the extent of the power of the crown, having regard to the existing charter. The government had also a bill in preparation, of which he was on the point of giving notice a fortnight ago, when the division took place upon the motion of the noble lord the member for Galway, the effect of which would have been, and he hoped would be, to place the new class of graduates so in troduced into the university upon an equal footing in all respects as to all rights and privileges as members of con vocation and of the corporate body with the past and existing graduates of the university. The bill would also have provided for a certain increase in the number of senators, and for some minor purposes. That was the course the government had taken, and he did not think it was open to any such objection as his right hon. friend seemed to infer. (Hear, hear.) *parting inttiligence. NEWMARKET JULY MEETlNG.—TitraspAy. There was no improvement m the weather , which continued very showery throughout the afternoon, a thunderstorm passing over the heath, accompanied by vivid aultes of lightning and very heavy rain. Alter that the sky became clear, and the sport was concluded in genial sunshine. The Chesterfield Stakes only induced three Allies to oppose Achievement, but as Hippie was amongst them the interest was sustained to the last The backers of Achievement were undismayed b the conliderce of the Newmarket people in the ability of Hippie to overthrow the Sister of Lord Lyon, and freely laid odds of 55 to 20 on her, and they were well rewarded for their allegiance, as she won in the esalest manner by a length. Her victory was loudly cheered, as was also Custance when he returned to weigh in. The following Is a full return of the day's running. Maven, 100 nova, h ft. Last six furlongs of B.M. Mr. W. 0.

We have again to return to the subject of the contests between Kelley and Hamroill at Newcastle-on- Tyne, and the only difference between the first and last race was that Hainmill was even more thoroughly worsted than before. He is a gallant fellow ; but it is quite manifest that he is an instance of the misapplication of first class human powers. His defeats—signal as they have been—may suggest to the denizens of the far west who delight in boating altogether a different mode of rowing, more closely assimilating with that of the renowned Britisher', who have long held "' the mastery o'er the flood." In the opening race of Tuesday the course was five miles out, all with tide, hut in the second, which we are about to record as occurring yesterday, it was two miles and a half out from the high level bridge with the tide and two mile and a half in against it. The vast superiority shown by Kelley on the previous day had made him the favourite at 8 and 10 to 1, and at that price the takers were far from numerous. Half-past eight was the time appointed, and the men were at their stations imme diately afterwards. In a few minutes they were off, Kelley drawing a slight lend at about 3S strokes per minute, and liaturnill with about 74, which he slightly increased, rowing with enormous power, and drawing upon his opponent, came almost level with him at the Skinner's Burn. Kelley, who had his man at this moment in his power, and ulti mately did as he liked with him, went gradually away and was a clear length ahead at Grindstone Quay, and within the neat three minutes headed him by three more. At the turning point Hauirnill was a quarter of a mile astern, and in about half a mile more resigned the contest. The fine rowing of Kelley was greeted with a met unmistakeable demonstration. THREATENED ENCLOSURE OF HAMPSTEAD-HEATH. —Yesterday, at the meeting of the blarylebone vestry, Mr. Churchwarden Kynustou in the chair, Mr. Greenwell, vestry clerk, drew attention to another bill introduced into parliament at the instigation of Sir Thos. blaryon Wilson, now called " The Finchlev.rosd Estates Rill," for power to build upon that part of the Finchley-road adin ing Hampstead-heath. Dr. Rachho ff ner moved, " That the borough members be requested to obtain the insertion of clauses preventing Hampstead-heath being built upon, and also to preserve the public rights of way on the Finchley road." This being seconded, was objected to by Mr. Shaw, who said that such a resolution would not do, as the evident intent of this bill was to encroach on Hampstead-heath. After some discussion, in the course of which the bill was viewed by the vestry generally as an attempted encroachment leading virtually to the enclo sure of Hampstead-heath, an amendment was carried to oppose the bill is tolo in parliament. The hired troopship Conflict arrived in Plymouth Sound on Wednesday night, from Calcutta February 27 ; the Cape of Good Hope, May G ; and Fayal, June 25. She brings the left wing of the SOt h Regiment, consisting of Major Miller, commanding, and Captains Amiel and Wil kinson, Lieutenant Goddard and Ensign Saunders, Messrs.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-JuLy_s._ After Term Nisi Prius Sittings at GuildhalL —(l3efore the Lord Chief Justice and Special Janes.) REID P. THE SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for the death of the plaintiff's father, through the alleged negligence of the defendants in not keeping the forecourt at the Charing-cress station in a proper state for the use of the public in going to and from the station. The defendants pleaded not guilty, and other pleas deny ing their liability which involved certain points of law. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C. Mr. Rumen and Mr. Channeff, were counsel for the pl a intiff ; Mr. eAgerid g e, Q.C., Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, and Mr. Dixon, were counsel for the defendants. — fire plaintiff is the adminiatratrix of her late father, and she brought this action on behalf of herself and three sisters. The deceased had for many years carried on the business of a hosier and outfitter in Conduit-street, Han. over-square. On Saturday, the 29th July, the deceased, with his grandson, a boy about 12 or 13 years of age, took return tickets for Harting', returning by the 6.15 p.m. train, which arrived at Charing-cross at half-past 10 o'clock. The gates at the end of the pathway nearest Charing-cross were dosed. and one of those of the carriage way. The place was under repair, and planks were laid down for the passengers to walk to the other side, and out through the half open carriage way. As deceased was walking along he hailed an omnibus and on quickening his pace his foot tripped on the end of one of the planks, and he was precipitated forward, his head coming in contactwith the half-open gate of the carriage way. He was taken up insensible, and conveyed to a doctor's, and ultimately to his home, where he Un wed until the 7th of August, when he died, erysipelas having set in. The deceased, who was sixty years of age, had for five years previous to his death been making a net income of 700/. per annum, and in the event of the jury finding a verdict for the plaintiff they would have to appor tion the amount. The plaintiff at the time of the acci dent was single, and living with her father, but had since married ; the second daughter suffered from a spinal complaint. and was wholly dependent on her father ; and the other two were married, but were in the habit of receiving pecuniary assistance from the deceased. The contention on the part of the defen dants was that they were not liable for any negligence, be cause at the time of the accident the forecourt was in the possession of contractors who were doing certain repairs. The planks were put down to accommodate the public by keeping them out of the mud and dirt. It could not be said, the defendants contended, that that was • negligent act, and it was urged in their behalf.that this was one of those unavoidable accidents which unfortunately so fre quently occurred. It was a dull, dirty, rainy night. The children were now receiving 300/. per annum equally be tween them under the father's will, and that, the learned counsel for the defendants said, in'addressing the jury in mitigation of damages (if they found negligence against them), had to be taken into consideration. The jury ultimately returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 840/., which they apportioned u follows :-5001. for the unmarried daughter, 150/. for the plaintiff, and 1001. each for the other two. Of the three other cases in the day's list, one was arranged, in another the record was withdrawn ; and the third was made a remanet by consent. COURT OF PROBATE AN]) DIVORCE. JULY 5. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) WOOD V. WOOD AND STANOZB. To-day this case was resumed and concluded. The de fence was to the effect that though the conduct of the respondents might have been indiscreet, it was not guilty, but might be innocently explained by the friendship which existed between the parties. Sir J. Wilde, in summing up, observed that, though the letters of the co-respondent to Mrs. Wood did not contain a word that pointed to positive adultery, there was hardly • word in it that did not prove Mr. Stanger to have been in love with the petitioner's wife. After two hours' deliberation, the jury was discharged without giving a verdict. COURT OF BANICRI7PTCY.—Jury 5. (Before Mr. Cominiodooer Holroyd.) IN RE JAMES RASTIZ. The bankrupt was a merchant, late of Threadneedle street, since of Pancras-lane. He ascribes his failure to liabilities incurred in connection with the promotion of various companies. The total liabilities are 113,2401., com prising 43,668/. in respect of the Hill Pottery Company, Burslem, 25,8551. in respect of the General Estates Com pany, 17,.5001. the London-bridge Land Company, and 12,997/. the Joint Stock Discount Company. Assets re turned at 1,85 W. only. Amongst the creditors are the National Bank, 12,5007., holding as security 3,500 shares in the London-bridge Land Company ; the Joint Stock Discount Company, 8,582 1 . ; Agra and Maaterman ' s Bank, 13,600/. ; th e Merchants' Banking Company, 3,500/. ; and the European Bank, 8,0001. The accounts have been pre pared by Messrs. Hart and Co. This was the sitting for examination and discharge. Mr. Tatham, for the assignees, offered no opposition. Mr. Linklater supported. He said this was one of the failures arising out of the late financial crisis. The bank rupt's shares in the London-bridge Land Company had coat him upwards of 21,000/., and they were now unsale able, a call having been made. He was originally in the army, and had invested his savings in this company. The liabilities to the Agra and Masternian's Bank and the London Joint Stock Company were not expected to conic against this estate. The case was one of great misfortune for the bankrupt, and no creditor opposed. His Honour Laid that under those circumstances the bankrupt might take his order. THE ABYSSINIAN PRISONERS. Mr. WHITESIDE asked whether the government had information to communicate with respect to the Abyssinian captives ? Mr. LAYARD stated that a telegram had been received by the government from the Consul-General at Alexandria announcing that Mr. Flsdd, the German missionary, who had been detained in Abyssinia, was now at Alexandria, on Lis way to England withdespatchesfrow Mr. Bassani. He Fathered from the telegram that the King, before allow ing the captives to leave Abyssinia, was desirous of an assurance from this government that no steps would be taken for obtaining reparation for his conduct towards those whom he had thrown into prison. Of course he did not know what information the despatches contained, but it appeared that these gentlemen had been treated with great kindness by the King, and he trusted there would be only a short delay before the captives—the missionaries— were allowed to leave the country. But in a few days the fullest information would be received. Letters had been written by his directions to the friends of the captives stating the facts he had mentioned. THE MINISTERIAL INTERREGNUM. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I am going to give a notice which is unusual under the circum stances, and I will just state the reason. I shall have to move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the laws rela ting to the inland revenue, and that motion I shall make to-morrow. It is a matter which affects trade interests, and the object of the notice is to enable the bill to be printed and considered by the country in the interval be fore the new government are called upon to form a judg ment with respect to it. It will be a great convenience at this period of the session if that course is taken. (Hear, hear.) I shall also have to move to-morrow for the pro duction of certain accounts of income and expenditure of Great Britain from 1688 to 1801. (Hear and a laugh.) That account has been for two years in preparation, and will form • document of great interest. I have also to perform a last act in my official capacity in moving the adjournment of the house till to-morrow at 5 o'clock, which I understand will be the most convenient hour with reference to motions which it is intended to make for issuing certain writs, and also with reference to proceedings at Windsor, which will take place at an earlier hour in the afternoon. In making this motion I wish to join with it • single expression, which is really only the acknowledgment of a debt, as respects the relations between the government and a portion of the House of Commons, while on the other hand I am certain it will not be construed by any gentlemen who sit opposite, or any on this side who have taken a different view from that of the government, as invidious with respect to them, or as implying that any of them acted otherwise than according to their sense of honour, con science, and public duty. (Hear, hear.) I hope I may be permitted, considering the length and tenacity of the struggle in which we have been engaged, with reference to the measure which was the immediate cause of the downfall of the govern. ment, to tender in my own name and in the name of my colleagues the expression of our gratitude to those who with so much zeal and so much perseverance supported us in the course of that struggle. Speaking generally to a moiety of the house, I make these acknowledgments in the name of my colleagues, but snore especially in my own name, because I am sensible of the many disadvantages under which they have had to act, in consequence of any share of influence which I may have had in their conduct. (Cheers.) The motion that the house at its rising do adjourn till five o'clock to-morrow was put and carried. PIER AND HARBOUR ORDERS CONFIRMATION (No. 2) BILL This bill passed through committee.

A great " mass meeting" to consider the present state of the reform question was held last evening in St. Andrew's-ball, iu this city. Far more excitement appears to prevail on the subject since the rejection of the ministerial bill than was elicited on its introduc tion ; and Norwich has been all alive, two large proces sions, embracing bands of music, banners, &c., having passed through the streets from St. Augustine's, at one end of the town, and St. ('atlierine's-plain, a large open space in a completely opposite suburb. Both these pro- cessions converged upon St. Andrew's-hall. Sir W. Russell, Bart., M.P., and Mr. K Warner, M.P., the members for Norwich, accepted invitations to attend. The meeting was enthusiastic, and resolutions express ing confidence in the late ministry, and an intention to continue the reform agitation, were adopted unanimously. SHEFFIELD. On Wednesday night a meeting of the working men of Sheffield was held in the Haymarket. for the pur pose of " considering the present ministerial crisis," or in other words, to express confidence in the late liberal government, and to disapprove of the course which bad been adopted by their opponents in defeating the Reform Bill. There were about 1,500 persons present. FILTER. A reforc demonstration under the auspices of the Liberal Association was held on Wednesday evening in the Lower Market, Exeter, when Mr. J. Danierel pre shied. The assembly was large and thoroughly a working man's gathering, and was marked by enthusiasm, good temper, and order. Ma. R. W. DUFF AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.—Mr. R. W. Duff, the member for Banffshire, prints an address to his constituents explaining why be voted with Lord Dunkellin. He says the adoption of a rating instead of a rental franchise would not necessarily prevent the lower ing of the franchise, and points out that a figure less than 71. might have been fixed as the rate for boroughs. As to charge that the vote caused the resignation of the ministry, be refers to Mr. Gladstone's speech in intimat ing her Majesty's acceptance of that resignation as showing that the words he had used on the part of the government " did not amount to an absolute state ment that if the vote was carried against" them they should not be able to remain in office. Mr. Duff says in conclusion, " I am prepared to act now as hitherto with the majority of the great liberal party ; but I decline to be led by its more extreme portieres. I sought your suf frages and obtained your support as a liberal, opposed to any sweeping changes in our system of representation. I appeal without fear to your deliberate judgment whether I I have not vindicated those principles." THE POLICE COURTS. GITILDITALL. John Hammond, of ?O, Newgatc-market, and Centre (kering, of 1, Itopcmaker-street, two butchers, were charged with creating a disturbance and assaulting one of the officers of the Metropolitan Railway Company, at the station in Little Mooffields. Henry Clark said he wss one of the constables at the above station. On the night previous he was cooling up the stairs when a gentleman complained to him that a crowd of men had been following and annoying him. He went to the door, and found the two prisoners inside the door, with about eight or ten other men. He told the people they must disperse, for they were blocking up the door and passengers could not get in, but instead of doing so Leering challenged him to fight. He said, " I do not want to fight, and want you to go away quietly;' to which he replied, "I can soon settle you." He thereupon caught the witness by the collar, dragged him into the road, and struck him on the breast. Witness then tried to secure him, when he was set upon by the whole gang of ruffians who were with the prisoners, and whichever way he turned his head he was struck. He got Leering round the neck with his left non, and then Hammond came in front of him and struck him a tremendous blow in the left eye, blackening it very much. Ho did not know who the others were who struck him. _ _ Alderman Salomons fined each of the prisoners 10s., or seven days' imprisonment, and bound them over to keep the peace for lux months. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Sarah Hipgina, the young girl, formerly servant at No. 3, Bruton-street, Bond-street, charged with stealing a large quantity of valuable property from a gentleman, named Benjamin Lewis Franklin, of the County Club, Albemarle-street, was brought before Mr. Knox for further examination. It will be recollected that Mr. Franklin, who recently occupied apartments at No. 3, Bruton-street, missed a quantity of jewellery, shawls, dresses, and other valuable property, a portion of which having been traced to the prisoner, steel was taken into custody, and in explanation of the possession of the property, she asserted it had been given to her by the prosecutor, in repayment of certain familiarities which she had permi•ted. This defence was denied fully by the prosecutor, and some additional evidence having been given, the case was again adjourned. SCNDAY POSTAL DELIVERY. —A copy of the following letter has been sent to 11,000 clergymen and ministers in England and Wales by the Working Men's Lord's Day Rest Association : On behalf of 20,000 Post-office officials who are employed in the pro vinces on Sundays, we beg to solicit your co-operation in measures designed to bring about the discontinuance of the Sunday delivery of letters. In London, with its vast commerce and 3,000,000 inhabitants, and numerous other towns and villages in England and Scotland, there is no Sunday delivery of letters, and there is no good reason why the same rule should not be carried out in every town and village in the empire. But we cannot hope that the Sunday delivery of letters will be stopped until the public express their willingness to give the postmen the Sunday rest, by requesting that their own letters may not be delivered on Sundays. When this has been extensively done we trust that the way will be prepared for abolishing the Sunday deliveries entirely. We therefore hope that you will co-operate in the efforts now being made to induce persons throughout the country to sign the enclosed request for the non-delivery of their letters on Sundays. A re turn of the number of persons who have signed such re quest will be moved for in parliament ; we hope, therefore, that you will use your influence with your congregation and friends, to induce them to sign requests for their own letters not to be delivered on Sundays.'

On Wednesday evening, the Brighton borough coroner wee engaged for several hours in the preliminary stage of an investigation into the circumstances attending the death of Mrs. Ellen Vivian Warder, aged about 35 ears, wife of Dr. Alfred William Warder. The lady was the sister of Mr. R. Branwell, a anrgeoa at Brighton, but neither she nor her husband resided there. came on a visit to Brighton about two months ago, and took lodgings in a house in Bedford-square. About six weeks ago Mrs. Warder was attacked with illness. Her husband himself attended on her till her brother, Mr. Branwell, called in the aid of Dr. Taafe, of Brighton. Dr. Taafe said he administered various remedies with out success, and finding that be could not account for the disease by any natural cause, he communicated this fact to Mr. Branwell. It was then agreed that if on Sunday morning they could not come to a more decided conclusion as to the diagnosis of the ease, another medical man should be called in. On the Sunday morning, however, Mrs. Warder died. Dr. Warder, on the suggestion being made to him, assented to a post-mortem examination. This was made by Dr. Taafe and two other medical men. They all agree that death is not to be amounted for on natural causes. In answer to Mr. Stuckey, Dr. Taafe said Mr. Bramwell never interfered professionally in the case. He did not know, of his own knowledge, that his prescriptions had been made up and taken, he trusted for that to Dr. Warder, be took all that for granted. There was nothing to show the deceased died from debilitating causes except the formation of clots in the heart. He could not recognise any disease in deceased during her lifetime, and the gimp toms were not reconcileable with any diseas e that he blew of. The remedies he prescribed did not appear to sot as he had been accustomed to their doing in other awes. Dr. Warder said he had administered the largo doses of aconite because nothing else seemed to allay the pain In deceased. As deceased had been so comparatively well up to 10 o'clock on Saturday night, he should have expected to find decided traces of disease when she died before 6 o'clock next morning. Deceased complained of difficulty of swal lowing—so much so that she sometimes took her medi cines in very small quantities, mere sips. After he bad attended her for some time both the thirst and the morbid appearance of the tongue disappeared, and did not return till within a week of her death. Both then came on again. Dr. William Withers Moore was present at the post mortem examination, and agreed in every particular in the details given by Dr. nixie. Coroner—Have you arrived at any opinion as to the cause of death ? Witness—l cannot reconcile the appearance of the body, taken as a whole, with any known natural cause of death that I am acquainted with. I had never seen deceased during life. I have come to my opinion quite independently of any other person. Mr. Frederick William Jowers also assisted at the post mortem examination, and agreed with Dr. Taafe entirely in the account he bad given thereof. Coroner—And as to the cause of death! Witness—l am not able to assign any cause for death. I bad never seen her during life. Mr. Stuckey—And was the opinion founded indepen dently ? Witness—Entirely so. Mr. Stuckey—You have had great experience in post mortem examinations, I think! Mr. Jowers—l suppose I have made several hundreds. Charlotte Lansden, living at 36, Bedford-square, Brigh ton, deposed that deceased and her husband came to lodge there on the 23rd May last. Deceased did not appear to be ill when she came to her house. She saw deceased die. Dr. Warder rang a call-bell about half-past five on Sunday morning as near as possible. Witness sent her servant im mediately, but the bell was rung a second time before the servant reached the room. She followed her servant im mediately. Deceased was in bed and undressed. She was not able to speak and seemingly unconscious. Her countenance was very calm. Deceased died about six o'clock. AN soon as the servant got downstairs she had been sent for Mr. Branwell. Just as Mr. Branwell arrived deceased breathed her Int. Witness never took part in giving deceased any medicine. On Saturday evening a sister, whom deceased ,addressed as Jane, came in as witness was going to give deceased some food, and she left the sister to do so. The food was arrow root, brandy and beef tea, mixed. Mrs. Warder went to bed after ten o'clock on Saturday night, and she then seemed very prostrate. Dr. Warder usually attended on deceased, and gave her foal and medicine. Deceased had no servant of her own, and there was no one with her but her husband. Witness did not remember deceased getting better for some time together; she did not see deceased every day. The servant always put the vomited matter away. By Dr. Teafe—The arrowroot and milk was always sent up boiling Viet, and I have remonstrated with her for drinking it so quickly as she used to do. By Mr. Stuckey—When I went into the room on Sunday morning, when called, Dr. Warder told me she was dying. I went up to the bed and looked at her. Dr. Warder was quite dressed. My servant had told me on the Saturday night that be was going to sit up. I then went and offered to assist him, but deceased herself de clined my doing so. I have never given deceased food. Dr. Warder used to ask me to do so if be did not get back in time ; but, as a matter of fact, I have never given her trod. I should say, I have a nephew staying with me who is about six years old, and when I have not been in the way he has often eaten all that has come down from the room of deceased—the beef tea and so on. The win dows of the room were closed when I went in. _ _ By the jury—l did not smell the slightest odour when I went in the room ; and it there had been any I should have .lone so, for my sense of smell is very keen. When he called us up Dr. Warder begged of my servant to go for Mr. Branwell. He said he had rung the bell imme diately he had seen the change. Deceased could walk on Saturday. I offered to assist her to a hand-chair at the door; but she said she could do very well with Dr. Warder. He told me she had walked from the sitting - room to the bed-room adjoining, when she went to bed. I have given her food on one or two occasions, but not on Saturday. By Dr. Tsafe—l do not know whether the food remained on her stomach. I did not stop with her. By the jury—We gave her no stimulants to keep her up during the half-pour she lived after I went into the room. There were stimulants in the adjoining room, but not in the bedroom. I asked Dr. Warder what she had taken, and be said about as usual. On Saturday night he had served out the essence of beef to make the beef tea from a canister which he had. I bought all the food they had in the house except the beef essence from which the beef tea was made. The medicine used to come mixed up in bottles in the ordinary way. Dr. Warder did not tell me when I went into the room before she died how long she had been in a sinking state. He said she hail slept a good deal during the night. I asked him was she conscious of her end, and he said, " No ; you know how excitable she is." He also said that when she woke she complained of prostration. He did not say how long she bad been awake before he rang. When she came to my house she said she was excitable, and that she did not wish anyone about her, and therefore I did not in trude, and I did nut see her frequently. Dr. Warder always remained with her when she was ill ; she could not endure him to leave her for a moment. I never suggested a nurse, for she told me she preferred her husband to do eveifthing for her. At this stage of the proceedings the inquiry was ad journed for ten days, the coroner informing the jury that in the meantime he would direct Dr. Taylor to make an analysis of the viscera and the contents of the stomach and intestines.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—Bnaproan, JULY s.—There has been a more hopeful tone pervading the wool market during the present week, and this feeling is decidedly more apparent this morning, on the receipt of news which tends to encourage the hope that peace may be restored c.n the continent. The inquiries for wool during the week, and especially this morning, have been much more frequent. But with this evident desire to operate, though there is an unwillingness to give the prices sought, there is an indisposition on the part of many wodstsplers to do business. Some,who are sanguine as to peace, thinking that the tendency must be upward, ask higher rates and others, who had found they could not realise, the prices sought in the country, are almost without stocks, and are little disposed to do business at the low rates which have been recently current. The result, therefore, is, that though there is more inquiry, and a better feeling, yet the amount of business done is not appreciably greater than it was. There is a feeling prevalent that if peace is near, prices have seen the lowest point, and revival of trade is not far distant. In this market there is, if any thing, a alight relief from the stagnation which has so long prevailed. Merchants are looking round for low offers in shipping yarns, though ap parently not disposed to operate unless an advan tage can be secured ; and spinners, hopeful that quotations have reached the lowest point, are not so readily dealt with as they were. The home trade is only quiet. In pieces the operations of the week have been on the most limited scale. There is • better tone amongst those engaged in this trade, but little disposition at pre sent to do business of a speculative character. The home trade is quieter, and the American houses are not placing fresh orders. Prices are, if anything, firm. LACE AND HOSlKEY.—Novrineruw, JULY 5.
