IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—Trisper, APRIL 17. The Loan CHANCELLOR took his pest on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. CATTLE, &c., CONTAGIOUS DISEASES BILL. On the motion of Earl llmtnvim.n, this bill was read a second time. CATTLE SHEDS IN BURGHS (SCOTLAND) BILL This bill, on the motion of the Duke of AROILL, wee read a second time. COUNTY COURTS BILL On the motion of the LORD ORANCILLOR, this ball was read a third time and paned. ELECTORAL STATISTICS. - - Lord STRATHEDEN moved that a select committee be appointed " to examine the electoral returns laid upon the table with a view to the changes they suggest as desi rable or necessary in the right of voting ; and to inquire into the conditions upon which the occupation frar chise ma lowered with advantage in counties or in boroughs of Eng l and and Wales." The noble lord said he would not havebrought forward the motion if he had thought it would prove an obstacle to any parliamentary proceedings which might be contemplated by the noble earl on the cross benches (Earl Grey), nor did he intend it as a factious obstacle in the way of legislation. If their lordships agreed to his motion he should be happy to transfer the direction of the inquiry to his noble friend on the croaa benches (Earl Grey), whose capacity was so eminently illustrated in 1860 by his direction of a similar committee. Earl RUSSELL said that the precedent of 1860, by which his noble friend had supported his motion, was not in point. When the Reform Bill of Lord Palmeraton's government was proposed it was admitted that the returns upon which it was founded were exceedingly inaccurate, and it was stated that the numbers who would be enfranchised would be far greater than had been esti mated. It was stated—what was undoubtedly true—that I the valuations and assessments under the poor-law were e a x p =ly loose and variable. Those grounds for enquiry to him to be valid, and a committee was ap pointed which took a great deal of valuable evidence, although it did not think fit to make a report. He did not quite understand what was the precise meaningof his noble friend's motion. Certainly he should imagine that these electoral returns did not of themselves suggest any change, or give any opinion with regard to the right of voting. The noble lord went on to say that the committee should " inquire into the conditions upon which the occupation franchise might be lowered with advantage in counties and boroughs." He did not know that their lordships' house bad as yet agreed that there were conditions on which the occupation franchise might be lowered. He had no objection to the house taking it for granted that the occu pation might be lowered with advantage ; but he did not think that their lordships would appoint a committee which should take for granted that which was a matter of opinion. The motion was then put and negatived without a division. EMPLOYMENT OF YOUNG CHILDREN. The Earl of SHAFTRSBITRYsaked her Kajevty's govern ment whether it was their intention to bring in a bill for the previous of placing the children and young persons men tioned in the third and fourth reports of the commission under the protection of the Factory Acts. He migbt say that many of these children and young persons were at this moment perishing under the amount of labour and the hardships they had to undergo. Earl RUSSELL said the subject was under oonsidera tion, but he could not at that moment state what course the government intended to take. Their lordships then adjourned, at twenty-five minutes to seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TuzsDAY, APRIL 17. The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before four o'clock. DOVER ELECTION PETITION. The SPEAKER acquainted the house that the petition against the return of the members for the borough of Dover had been withdrawn. HELSTON ELECTION COMMITTEE. The members appointed to serve on the Ralston com mittee to try the petition against the sitting member were called to the table and sworn, and ordered to sit to morrow. EXECUTION OF MARY ASHMOLL In answer to Mr. KIKKEWICH, Mr. EWART said he had made inquiries respecting cir cumstances alleged to have occurred at the execution of Mary Ashinole, at Exeter, and had now reason to believe that the original statements were very much exaggerated. With respect to her having been supported to the scaffold by two men, he believed that that was not an uncommon artumstance in the case of women. METROPOLITAN RAILWAY. Mr. CRAWFORD gave notice for Thursday next to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether it was inten ded that the Metropolitan Railway should ran along an open cutting instead of in a tunnel as at first intended. (Hear, hear ) EXTENSION OF THE FACTORY ACT. Mr. FAWCETT asked the Secretary of State for the Horne Department when the government would introduce their promised measure for the extension of the Factory Acts; and, whether the government had considered the desirability of regulating the employment and education of children who are employed in agriculture. Sir O. :KEY could not possibly fix a day tot the mea sure named. The report was very voluminous, em bracing eery branch of trade, and was still under con sideration. The government had no intentions respecting children engaged in agriculture. PRUSSIA AND ITALY. Mr. BEAUMONT asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether he bad reason to believe the statement to be substantially correct in the News Freya eleublott, a. to the alleged treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, between Prussia and Italy. Mr. L.tYARD had no reason to believe that the state ment wee correct. Her Majesty's government had received no information of the existence of such a treaty. THE QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY IN IRELAND. Mr. S. AYTOVN asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it was the intention of the government to bring in a bill, during the present session, for the kurpose of granting a new charter to the Queen's University in Ireland, or of altering the composition of the senate ; and, if so, whether the bill would be brought in at en early period of the session. . . . . Sir O. .G . SEY would give notice of a bill to give effect to the lett-7 of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, which had been Laid on the table some weeks since. He could not say, however, t _ ' at the bill would have the precise character pointed out by the hon. member. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. Mr. LESLIE asked the Lord Advocate whether the new order iu council, dated the 11th inst., continued to county local authorities the power to regulate the admis sion of cattle into their respective counties, as to them might, from time to time, seem proper and expedient. The LORD ADVOCATE had no doubt but that the authority would he continued to the local boards. ARTISANS IN PUBLIC DOCKYARDS. Mr. OTWAY asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the government sabered to its intention of dis franchising the artisans in her Majesty's dockyards, arse nals, and factories? (Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—With re ference to the question put by my hon. friend, I should wish to s ay that the government will not think it for the convenience of the house to give answers at the present time as to the course they will take with regard to particu lar clauses of the bill. They will apply that to all the clauses, even the most vital clauses, at the present moment, and of course would apply it still more with rest to a clause which is beside the main purpose of the bill, and independent of its essence. THE MALT TAX. bethought they must consider the question of paying off the national debt now or never. He believed if the malt tax, which was in many respects an exceptional one, should be repealed, the agriculturists would have to submit to another tax—either a revised land tax or a tax upon their houses. It appeared to him, coupling the conduct of the party opposite m reference to the Reform Bill with their conduct on the question before the house, that it was evident that that party was determined upon government for the land and by the land. He did nut, however, wish to raise party considerations, but merely desired to impress upon the house that this was a question which concerned the houour and safety of the country. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. S. MILL seconded the amendment, and urged that the time had arrived when the country should con sider its pecuniary obligations, with a view to relieving posterity from their burthen. He pointed out that this was especially the duty of a country which, unable to sup port its own population, was dependent on supplies from other lands in return for its commodities, those being dependent on exhaustible material—such as coal, a sub stance the consumption of which was going on with such rapidity that its exhaustion was a ques tion, not of centuries, but of generations. The result would be that • time would arrive when this coun try could not compete with others where the supply of coal was still in full vigour. It therefore came to this —that, so far from the country being in future years more capable of meeting its liabilities it would be less able to do so, and the question was whether we were to leave to pos terity our liabilities without our assets. He contended that it was possible to set aside several millions a year for the purpose of diminishing our pecuniary engagements. To give up five or six millions of taxes for purposes other than that which he had intimated appeared to him • cri minal dereliction of duty, and if it was possible to dispense with the malt tax in reference to ordinary ex penditure, it would be better to set aside the pro ceeds of that impost as a fund for the diminution of our national debt. The hon. member continued : There are many persons in the world, and there may pos sibly be some in this house, though I should be sorry to think so, who are not unwi ll ing to ask themselves, in the words of the old text, " Why should we sacrifice any thing for posterity; what has posterity done for us ? ' They think that posterity has done nothing for them. That is a great mistake. 'Whatever has been done for mankind by the idea of posterity, whatever has been done for mankind by philanthropic concern for posterity, by a conscientious sense of duty to posterity, even by the less pure, but still noble ambition of being remem bered and honoured by them - all this we owe to posterity, and all this it is our duty to the best of our limited ability to repay—(cheers)—all the great deeds of the founders of nations, and of those second founders of nations—their great reformers—(hear, hear)--all that has been done for us by the authors of those laws and institutions to which free countries are indebted for their freedom, and well Governed countries for their good government ; all the heroic lives which have been led, and deaths which have been died in defence of liberty and law against despotism and tyranny, from Marathon and Salamis down to Leipac and Waterloo, all those traditions of wisdom and of virtue which are enshrined in the history and literature of the past—all the schools and univer sities by which the =knots of former times has been brought down to us, and all that culture itself, all that we owe to the great masters of human thought and to the great masters of human emotion—all this is ours, however those who preceded us have taken thought for posterity. (Cheers.) Not owe anything to posterity, sir'. We owe to it Bacon, and Newton, and Locke; aye, and Shakespeare and Milton, and Wordsworth. (Cheers.) I have read of an eminent man, I am almost sure it was Dr. Franklin, who, when he wished to relieve the necessities, or assist the occasions of any deserving person by pecuniary help, used to say to them, " I only lend you this ; if you are ever able, I expect you to repay it ; but not to me : repay it to some other necessitous person, and do it under the same stipu lation, that so the stream of good may flow on as long and as far as it can be kept flowing by human honesty." (Cheers.) What Franklin did from beneficence, in order that the greatest possible amount of good might be ex tracted from a limited fund, our predecessors, to whom we owe so much, have done from the necessities of the case. (Cheers.) The debt of gratitude due to them is such as to make it sometimes almost an oppressive thought that not one tittle of that debt can ever be directly repaid to those from whom we have received so much ; butlike the objects of Franklin's beneficence, we can indirectly re pay it, by paying it to others—to those others whom they cared for, and for whom, and not merely for us, their labours and sacrifices were undergone. (Cheers.) What are we, sir—we of this generation, or of any other genera tion, that we should expend upon our particular and exclu sive uses what was meant for mankind? It is lent to us, sir, not given, and it is our duty to pass it on, not merely un diminished, but with interest, to those who are in the same relation to us as we are to those who preceded us. So shall we, too, deserve and receive our share of the same gratitude. (Cheers.) Mr. C. S. READ (who described himself as • " raw mem ber ") supported the original motion, on the ground that farmers as • class, had derived less advantage from free trade than any other section of the community, and that the trade in malt was • gigantic monopoly which began with the malteter, passed on to the brewer, and culminated in the licensing system. If the advocates of abolition were to be met with the rejoinder that so large • shoe of the revenue could not he spared, he suggested whether it might not be better to impose a duty of one penny per gallon on beer, which he believed would bring up the revenue derivable from licenses to four millions per annum. Sir E. BULLER condemned the malt tax as an unjust and oppressive burden. He denied that if beer were cheap, and consequently plentiful, the humbler classes would make an immoderate use of it. The experiment of lower ing the wine duties had not made the upper classes in temperate in the use of wine. Mr. SUM= and Mr. P. I.:24CHART also advocated the repeal of the duty. Mr. BUXTON, as a brewer, exposed the fallacy of the general impression that persons in his trade made enor mous profits. The chief cost of manufacturing beer was not, he said, the raw material, but the subsequent dis persion. He admitted, however, that the malt tax was a mischievous one, as it did harm alike to the farmer, the brewer, and the consumer, but as its repeal was purely • question of finance he could not support the motion. Mr. DE GREY reminded the house that Sir Robert Peel had given a pledge that the abolition of the malt tax should follow the repeal of the corn laws. Mr. M'LAREN opposed the motion, and pointed out that tobacco and whisky were taxed at the rate of 600 per cent. To repeal the malt tax and leave the tax on whisky would be to sacrifice the distillers to the brewers. Mr. Do CANE and Mr. BEACH spoke in favour of the motion, the former observing that the agricultural interest would be satisfied with the substitution of a beer duty for the malt tax. Mr. AYRTON thought the agricultural classes (who never appeared to know the happiness of their position) ought to be very grateful that beer was not taxed in pro portion to spirits. Mr. HUBBARD thought the real grievance of the malt tax was that it interfered materially with the cultivation of the soil. In the absence, however, of any strongly ex pressed public opinion on the subject, he concluded that the country did not call for its repeal, though be should hail the day when the Chancellor of the Exchequer should find himself in a position to propose such a measure. After a few words from Mr. St.,'LATER-BOOTH in favour of the motion, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER commenced his reply by referring to the amendment, the importance of which he admitted, but deprecated any decision upon it in this incidental manner, intimating that he should advert to the subject in his financial statement. In respect to the motion he repeated his old objection to pledging the house by anticipation to isolated remissions. This tax, he said, could not be dealt with at a less sacrifice to the revenue than 2,000,0001., and, as by the financial arrange ments of last year there would be no very large sum dispos able this year, the resolution, even if carried, could have no present or proximate effect. After pointing out that malt had already been favoured in the shape of a remission of the beer duty forty years ago, he maintained that the burden of the duty must be considered in relation to other duties, and the nature of the commodity. It was almost in exact correspondence with the duties on tea and sugar, and that it was relatively much lighter than the duties on spirits he showed by stating that while 60,000,000 gallons of alcohol were annually consumed in beer, only 28,000,000 were consumed in spirits, and that while the beer paid 6,660,00 W. spirits paid 14,000,0001. He did not dispute the importance of beer as an article of diet, though he could not concede to it the " evangelising power' attributed to it by the abolitionists, who elevated it almost to the rank of a "missionary of civilisation," and as to the proposition to change the form of the duty into a tax on beer, he pointed out that there were great practical difficulties in the way, and that no general con currence in the proposal had been manifested. He warned Sir F. Kelly that, unless he provided a substitute, his motion struck at the root of indirect taxation, and, though not desirous to take up the position of obstinate and inconvertible opposition, he urged the house not to consent to • motion which could have no present effect. Mr. NEATE having withdrawn his amendment, The main question was put. For the motion Against it Sir F. KELLY rose to move that upon any future re mission of indirect taxation, that house should take into consideration the duty on malt, with a view to its imme diate reduction and ultimate repeal. Having impressed upon the house the importance of malt in providing com forts awl necessities for working men, the hon. and learned member expressed hie confident hope that in times like the present, when the working classes were a constant subject of discussion in that house, he should not want for advocates and supporters of his motion. He per ceived that the honourable member for Oxford (Mr. Neate) had on the paper an amendment which was rather vague in its terms, but seemed to mean that any surplus which might accumulate from year to year should be exclusively devoted to the reduction of the na tional debt. He sincerely believed that the repeal of the malt tax would have a most beneficial effect on the whole kingdom, and he hoped the time was fast approachingwhen there would be applied to this question those enlightened principles of commercial policy which had been introduced with such signal success in our legislation. (Hear.) Mr. R. . 1. MORE, in seconding the motion, referred to the large number of petitions which had been presented on the subject from all parts of the country, and said that far greater Interest was taken in the repeal of the malt-tax than on the questions of reform and church rates taken together. At the last general election this subject influ enced the seats of county members more than any other public question. He did sot believe that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was influenced by any prejudice against the agricultural interest, but the difficulty mu to supply the 6000,00 W. of revenue yielded by the tax. AU they asked by the motion was that when the Chancellor of the Exchequer had • surplus he might consider whether it was consistent with his duty to give the agricultural into red the benefit of a remission of the tax in accordance with those principles which, 20 years ago, received the sanction of the leading statesmen of the day. (Hear.) Mr. NEATE rose to move, as an amendment to Sir Riney Kelly's motion, the following resolution :—" That, in the present state of the taxation and resources of the country, it is the duty of parliament to make provision for the systematic rednetion of the national debt, and not to sanction any proposal for any repeal or change of taxes which is likely to be attended with a diminution of the revenue." He said he proposed the amendment because isorting Rose s4o ran. 150 W. 15-85 THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 18, 1866. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. TUESDAY. THE TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS DAY.

WALES AND PRINCE TIC The day so long and anxiously anticipated by Lord Lyon's backers arrived without any alteration in the firm position he has occupied during the last few weeks In the betting quotations, mad so sanguine were his supporters that odds of 7 to 4 were laid on him up to the close of the rooms on Monday freelyai This morning wu fine, although the wind was very high, and Newmarket was as much alive as it could be to the im pedance of the day and the visit of royalty, it haring been officially announced that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales Intended to honour the heath with his presence, accompanied by Prince Peck the affianced husband of the amiable and beloved Princess Mary of Cambridge, which was another incentive to mat excitement, and by the time appointed for the arrival of ' their royal higbnenaes, the road from the station to the heath was crowded with spectators, principally ladies, who greeted the royal party with every mann...vs/lon of pleasure and loyalty. Ito town began to present a very crowded appearance as the morning wore on, and the immense special trains that arrived from London and the towns adjacent had, by 12 o'clock, conveyed such a large number of visitors to Newmarket that the High street was almost impassable. Lord Lyon held undisputed posses sion of the market during the morning, odds of 7 to 4 being laid on him so freely that bookmakers stood out for half • point more. The programme contained no less than ten events, but the first and last resulting In walks over, eight races comprised the actual bill of fare. The Two Thousand Dulness was set for 2.50, and after the decision of the three other minor races which preceded it, excitement had reached its culminating point, and the telegraph board and weighing room were besieged by an eager crowd, anxious to learn the starters. Their Impatience was soon allayed by the hoisting of the 15 numbers in excellent time. The only absentees of the 17 " coloured " were No. 5 (Magician.) and No. 15 (Duke of York), so that both Student and Auguste, whose equivocal position in the market for some days past had rendered it extremely doubtful as totheir running, were included amo the starters. The i rucess of saddling was soon accom , some under going their toilette at the enclosure attached to the Cesarewitch Stand; but Lord Lyon and Janitor, and several others, had their final touches at the Ditch Stables, and thither the royal party cantered to Inspect the "cracks" We were glad to notice the loyal yet undemonstrative manner in which their royal high nesses were greeted wherever they went, and it must have bean particularly grati fyin g to notice the total absence of that " mobbing" that the Priam is usually subjected to. The canters having been taken the fifteen starters were soon in position at the pond, and after a slight delsy they were despatched on excellent terms. It is unneceleary to recapitulate the race, every detail of which is contained in the return of the running ; and it is sufficient to briefly remark that Lord Lyon bad the race in hand from start to finish, and quitting Monarch of the Glen, Knight of the Crescent, and the Rapid Rhone's dam colt, the only animals who gave it the semblance of a race, he won by a length, his success be in g received with loud and continued cheering. Janitor, when looking and going well, suddenly gave way, and Student was never prominent at any period of the race, being hopelessly beaten after going 200 yards. On returning to weigh in, Mr Sutton walked at Lord Lyon's head, and again were both enthusiastically applauded, the owner being cordially congratulated on all sides. Mr. Sutton does not win a large sum over this race, but he stands to win an Immense stake on his horse for the Derby. Lord Lyon's victory was particularly gratifying and popular, and the result was decidedly advan tageous to the general public, who always stand a first-class per former, with the certain addition of a good run for their money. The other races were not viewed with any Interest by the generality of the visitors, and • move was soon made to the town. avy traffic was managed admirably by Mr. Heavens, sta tion master at Newmarket, and the leapital time kept by the spe cials reflects the h i ghest credit on the traffic manager.

The result was that the commander and first lieutenant were reprimanded, the master severely reprimanded, and the whole admonished to be more careful in the future. CHATHAM, APRIL 17.

After the competitors had taken a short canter, and been duly inspected by crowds of admirers, both on foot and horseback, Mr. M'George succeeded in marshalling the field to the starting post, and after a slight delay, despatched them to an excellent start. After going a short distance In a line Robin Hood went to the front, and, at a clipping pace, cutout the work, followed by Freedom on the extreme left, slightly In rear of Lord Stanford's colt being Monarch of the Glen and Janitor. On the right of the leader the most prominent were Lord Lyon, Knight of the Cres cent, the Rapid Rhone's dam cult, and Mount Palatine. Leybourne lying wide on the right, about a length in the rear. As they approached to the Bushes-hill several were thus early beaten, the first to show signs of distress being Student, who had been lying In the centre of the course, and Hare field, who also kept Student company, an he dropped to the rear, and this pair were shortly joined by Mount Palatine. At the summit of the hill Robin Hood, who had held a clear lead up to this point, had evidently done all he could do. and gradually giving way be disappeared from the front. Thomas at this moment gave the favourite a little liberty, and the result of this was that he Immediately shot to the front, and Janitor, who had been pulling double, being similarly indulged, also came out, the pair being followed down the hill by Knight of the Crescent, in the upper ground, and Monarch of the Glen on their left, the latter having passed Freedom. who compounded immediately they began the descent, Lord Lyon, slightly in advance of Janitor, sailed on in the van, and an interesting race was anticipated, but before reaching the dip, Janitor, who did not appear to act well in the slope. at once extinguished the hopes of his backers by giving way to the three outsiders. Monarch of the Glen, Knight of the Crescent, and Lord Glasgow's " roan," whorunuing abreast at Lord Lyons quar ters were all making the most strenuous exertions to art Idm down, but the favourite, immediately Thomas roused him, a few strides from the chair, came out without an effort, and won by a length, amidst tremendous cheering. Monarch of the Glen ob tained second honours by a head only from Knight of the Cres cent, close up with whom was the Rapid Rhone's dam colt. Janitor was tifth, beaten several lengths ; Leyhouroe was sixth ; Robin Hood, seventh ; Apsley, eighth ; and Jack-In-the-Green, ninth. Freedom and Mount Palatine were next, among others in their rear being liaretield, Student, and Sealskin. The abso lute last was Auguste. who finished at least a hundred yards in rear of everything, and pulled up lame. HANDICAP BWEEPSTAKIS of 20 suns each, 5 ft, for S.yr-olds and upwards; weight for age.

It seems that William Todd, aged twenty-six, his brother, Enfield Todd, aged about twenty, and another hackman, named Samuel E. Fleming, twenty, proceeded out of the harbour in a row boat for the purpose of drawing for some emelt& and other fish along the shore. Just as they reached the bar, and precisely where the late lifeboat catastrophe took place, their small craft was caught by a sea and swamped. The men were thrown into the I water, and, being heavily attired, two of titan sank, and were drowned ; while Enfield Todd managed to extri cate himself and swam to the beach. The accident was observed from the north pier by some pilota, and they at once launched • boat and proceeded to the same of the disaster, but too late to be of service. Subeeqsently the boat was picked up, and the body of the elder Todd was found entamied in the netting. The tide was low on the bar at the tune of the accident. Twenty-five beachmen have been drowned in Yarmouth river since January lat. CRYSTAL PALACE. ONE SHILLING DAY.

TUE MURDER IN CANNON-STREET.-ARREST OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER. Yesterday morning Colonel J. Fraser, the Commiasoner of the City of London Police, despatched Sergeants Moss and Hancock, detective officers, to Windsor, in order to apprehend a man named William Smith, who, from a clue which has been obtained, has been arrested upon suspicion of having committeed the horrible murder in Cannon street. The two officers in question arrived at Windsor in the forenoon, and at once proceeded to the Clewer police station for the purpose of obtaining the assistance of Mr. Inspector Reece, an active and intelligent officer of the Berks Constabulary. In company with a man named Terry, who is en acquaintance of Smith's, and was taken from town to recognise him, the three police officers proceeded to Eton, where they were joined by Mr. Inspector Dearman , of the Bucks con stabulary, and the whole party then went to So. 6, Eton square, a turning leading out of High-street, where Smith lodged with bis mother and sisters. The house was at once surrounded, when it was found that the accused was not in. He was, however, fetched 'from a neighbouring workshop by police-constable Clark, and immediately arrested by the City police. The clothes which the pri soner was wearing at the time he was taken into custody were found to be partly spotted with blood, and were also ascertained to have been worn by him during a recent visit to London. Accompanied by Sergeants Moss , and Hancock, and Inspectors Reece and Pearman, the ac cused was taken to the Windsor station of the Great Western Railway and thence to the City, to await his examination. The prisoner, who is supposed to be about 2S years of age, has, it is understood, been in the employ of Mr. Taylor, the stationer, in the High-street, Windsor. He, unfortunately for himself, bears a most disreputable character, having been con victed several times, once for felony, and on the other oc casions for drunkenness. From what has transpired with respect to the murder of Mrs. Millsom, it would appear that a letter written by Smith has been found in the box of the murdered woman. This furnished the clue which has led to his apprehension. The accused, when arrested, was shown the letter in question, and on being asked if it was in his handwriting, replied in the affirmative, but stated that he had written it at the instigation of Terry. who, however, denies it. CLARE-ILARKET RAGGED SCHOOLS. —The annual meeting was held last evening in St. Clement Danes Vestry-hall. Mr. Robert Ingham, H.P., presided.

GEORGE-YARD (WHITECHAPEL) RAGGED SCHOOL. —The Earl of Shaftesbury presided at the annual meeting of this school, held last evening, at High-street, White chapel. The attendance included Sir Robt.
