"4 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY, Apsu,2s. FELLOWS OF COLLEGES' DECLARATION BILL After our report left yesterday, Mr. B. Hors spoke against, and Kr. J. GOLD 81111) in favour el the bill. Mr. SCHREIBER, as a resident member of many years at Cambridge, took on himself to deny die grievance which the bill suggested that it was neoessary to remedy. Mr. NEATE argued that the state was entitled to modify and re-arrange such endowments as those on which the universities were based; and generally supported the Mr. SELWYN, in dealing with the above assertion of Mr. Neste, maintained that though the State by means of 15opusroceedinga, might interfere to modify charitable and • • institutions, the principle of adhering to the will intentions of founders was never lost sight of. He then combated the objections to the existing system of the universities, asserting that there was no appreciable griev ant`, to individuals, or any real injury to the colleges, so long as nonconformists were admitted to the educational advantages of those institutions, although they were ex cluded from their governing bodies. Mr. T. CHAMBERS denied the assumption that the col leges were founded solely for the maintenance of the esta blished church, and therefore any concessions founded on that assumption were not adequate to the demand, which was that the universities were national institutions. He did not put the question on the ground of individual grievance, but on that of broad national right to every educational advantage which the universities could afford. While fully admitting the principle of religion as an ele ment of all education, he contended that the universities were meet defective and wanting in religious instruction, and he believed that even in this respect the operation of this bill would be beneficial. Sir W. HEATHOOTE, in the course of an argument against the bill, pointed out that the assertion that the endowments of the universities were not in strict con raexion with the established church—if it wee carried out to its extent—would render the Roman catholic@ the only rightful claimants to those endowments, and they were the only elms of nonconformists who were excluded from the operation of the bill. The measure was a wthil and ill considered measure, which could only lead to difficulties and ought to be rejected. On a division the motion for going into committee was tarried by 206 to 186. The bill was then passed through committee. Mr. WHALLEY moved the second reading of the Turn pike Roads Bill, the oblect of which is to abolish tolls generally, and to substitute a system of rates for the keeping up of the roads. BRIDGEWATER ELECTION. Mr. BAXTER brought up the report of the Bridgewater election committee, to the effect that Mr. Westropp was mot duly elected, and that Mr. Kinglake was ; that Mr. Westropp was, by his agents, guilty of bribery and treat ing, but that it was not proved that such bribery and treating were within his knowledge ; and that there was reason to believe that corrupt practices extensively pre vailed at the last election for the borough of Bridgewater. The house adjourned at five minutes to 6 o'clock. ELECTION COMMITTEES. WIW WINDBOB. - The committee-room was cleared yesterday, and on the kmalminsion of the public, after the lapse of three hours and a half, The Chairman said—" The committee have determined that Sir Henry Ainslie Hoare is not duly elected a burgess to serve in the present parliament for the borough of New Windsor. " That Henry Labouchere, Esq., is not duly elected a bargees to serve in the present parliament for the borough of New Windsor. " That Sir H. A. HMV is by his agents guilty of bribery. " That H. Lebow:shore, Req., is by his agents guilty of bribery. " That it has been proved that various acts of bribery have been committed, by the engagement by the agents of the sitting members of an excessive number of public houses, in which it was proved that none of the legitimate business of the election was transacted, and for which sums varying from 101. to 201. were paid. " That it has not been proved that such acts were com mitted with the knowledge or consent of the said Sir S. A. Hoare and H. Labouchere, Esq. " That the committee have reason to believe that bribery and corruption extensively prevailed at the last election for the borough of New Windsor." Mr. Cooke said he would state to-morrow whether he would proceed with the scrutiny or nut. The committee then adjourned. 'AK ILIRELD. Mr. Pickering addressed the committee for the petitioners. He said it appeared from the statement& made that Mr. Leath= had no agents whatever, and placed himself =- reservedly in the hands of his committee, so that he vas bound by their acts, if any man could be. At the close of the learned counsel's address, Mr. Giffard said he had been taken by surprise by the sudden close of the case for the petitioners, and he applied far en adjournment until to-morrow. The committee acceded to the application, and the com mittee adjourned accordingly. NEW COMMITTEES. The General Committee of Elections, consisting of Mr. Bonham-Carter (chairman), Mr. Clay, Mr. Hunt, and Mr. Whitbread, met yesterday afternoon to appoint select committees to try and determine the matter of the petitions against the returns for Cheltenham, Lichfield, Lincoln, and Banbury. CHZLTINHAN. The petitioners in this case are Henry Dean and John William Austin, against the return of Charles Schreiber. on the ground of bribery, treating, and undue influence, and praying that the election may be declared null and void. The Chairman announced that the committee had selected the following members :—Mr. Ayrton (chairman), the Hon. J. L. Cole (Enniski ll en), Mr. R. W. Crawford (London), Viscount Holmeadale, Sir C. O'Loghlen. Agent to the petitioners, Mr. Travers Smith ; for the sitting member, Mr. Spofforth. DANBURT. The petitioner in this case is Chao. Bell, a candidate at the lete election, and be complains of the return of Mr. Bernhard Samuelson, on the ground that he was incapaci tated, disqualified. and ineligible, by reason of his being an alien, and not entitled to the rights and privileges of a natural born subject of the crown, and prays that the return may be amended by eraaing his name and =then ' tuting that of the petitioner. The Chairman announced that the committee bad se lected the following members :—The Right Hon. W. Mow. bray (chairman), Mr. William Bovill, Mr. G. G. Glyn (Shaftesbury), Mr. John Locke, and Lord R. Montagu Agents for the petitioner, Messrs. W. and H. for the sitting member, Messrs. Dyson and Co. No objection to the selection was made in either case. REPRESSNTATION OF HELSTON. —Both parties are hard et work canvassing, and the borough is much ex cited. Mr. Brett, Q.C., the conservative candidate, and Mr. Campbell, of Buzeott-park, Berke, the liberal candi date, have addressed the electors, and it is certain that the contest will be very close indeed. The unseated member obtained a majority at the general election of 11 rotes, and since that time the register has been revised, rather in favour of the conservative side. Liberals and conserva tives are alike sanguine of success, but at the same time both admit that the victor will have very little to spare. The nomination will take place on SatuA_al. THE BUILDING TRADE WAGES MOVEMENT. —A meeting of delegates from the carpenters and joiners was held last night at the Brown Bear, Broad-street, Blooms to consider the resolution adopted by the master builders at their meeting on Thursday last, as follows : " That we agree to pay Bd. per hour to the most skilled mechanics, the less skilled to be at liberty to accept a leas rate, and that the hours of working on outdoor jobs be ' 9 per day from the 9th of November to the 14th of Feb ' nary the hours of working in shops to remain at 10 as at present." A long discussion took place whicleresulted in the following resolution being carried with ' but three dissentierta out of 150 delegates :—" That we consider the resolution of the master builders indefinite and unsatisfactory, and that it ought not to be received unless the masters consent to make Bd. per hour the stan dard rate of wages, they having at all times the right and power of discharging Inefficient workmen ; and further, that we are of opinion that the hours of working from the 9th of November to the 14th of February should be the same both in shops as on out-door jobs— viz., nine per day." It was further resolved that the above resolution should be submitted is the constituents of the delegates for confir mation, rejected, or amendment, in shop meetings, and the result reported to an adjourned meeting. It was also re solved that the opinions of the men should be at the same time taken as to the propriety of a joint committee of mas ters and men being appointed to draw up a code of working rules for the London district. The meeting then adjourned. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS OF UTAH. IS with no ordinary pleasure that we present the following tables of the agricultural statistics of this territory. Our corre spondents there have ever been prompt and painstaking, and have interested us in the progress of an agriculture in the midst of the Rocky Mountains, and so different from that of the Atlantic States. What will much interest all is the table relative to irrigation. We have here an ex penditure of 1,768,939 dole. to irrigate 153,949 acres, being 11 dole. 50c. per acre. Washington county, which is the most southern one in Utah, lying between the 37th and 38th degrees of latitude, raised last year 384 acres of cotton and 92 acres of grapes, yielding 5,200 pounds of groper The enemy that is accomplishing so much is worthy of all commendation.—United States Government Aries/tarot isport for Pet/ewes, 1866.

Among the racing festivals of the year the Cup day at Classier hasalways occupied a most prominent position, and has been most 'oprietely described as "the Derby" of handlcapa It is regarded by the Inhabitants of Cheshire and its approximate counties as a day feepleseure and recreation, end as fine weather is so Important an addition to each missions, the brilliant morn ing was to the thousands of planers seekers who anxl hlP : ti jathe early dawn of to-day, and many, remembering the miserable weather of the hut two "Capp da ys, were the more rejoiced at the favourable change, and all doubts that existed at the beginning of the week es to another wet visitation on their gels day they gave themselves up to the full enjoyment of the day, and poured into the curious :old city by rail and ;oad until its quaint streets were almost =pawed& The picture is without a parallel at any other meeting, th e parties of visiton 'trolling on the ancient wall, inspecting the peculiar arc hitecture with wbich the city abounds, the continual streams of perm s the " the roes," and the crowded state of the street& cook with vehicles and pedestrian', making up a scene of such strange ex citement as is only to be seen at Chester. The "Grosveuor the greet cents* of attraction, and during the morning some lively speculation took place the crowd, who blocked up the corridors. Redcap still maintained his position as first forourite, but 7 to 4, although taken. was Mill offered when the crowds began to move for the Rhodos Delight was slightly affected by the repeated outlays on the favourite, and 4to 1 was offered, accountable by the large Increase of book makers during the morning, es at the rooms last even ing that piths would have been accepted to thoueed& Dolby was remarkably Arm at 11 to 2, but Treasure Trove was decidedly out of odour, 100 to 7 being freely offered without a response, but Bang= would have received substantial support at that price ; layers, however, would not offer more than 100 to 8. The most sensational feature of the morning wee the rapid advance of Surtsey, who was apparently so hopelessly out of It ;et the rooms last night, that 50 to 1 was offered up to the close ; but this morning, so freely was he backed. that in the face of the favourites he was firmly established at 16 to 1. Honesty bed a somewhat troubled time of it during last evening, and 100 to 1 wee offered in ell parts of the room, but eventually a commission was out in his favour, and all prices were accepted down to 40 to 1, at which pr ice some Investments were made, and he improved his Uon this morning, es 100 to 3 was taken several times. racing was set to commence at two o'clock, but an hour before that time the Rhodes was literally crammed, and people already secured good positions on the • wall." The far idle of the course is bounded by the Des, with a slope extending from the bank, on the summit of wbleh ele gant villas are situated the terraces and gardens being covered with groups of ladles In true pic-the costume, the effect from the Stand was charming to a degree. It Is bnposdble to convey to our readers a correct Idea of the remarkaMe appeareace of the Rhodes on a Cap-day when favoured with fine weather. The course encircles a tremendous multitude of pleasure-seekers, arrayed in holiday attire, who evi dently make the most of the occasion, availing them selves of the various amusements provided for them by the energetic proprietors of the pleasure booths, occupying a promi nent position In the circle. Added to this a number of fashions ' ble carriages were stationed opposite the stand, and a number of omnibuses crowded with occupants completed a pic t oturethat at once stirring and effective. It is almost unnecemary say the grand stand, hog, and enclosure were crowded, and that the should= of the booakers, the exceedve heat, and the difil =lV of moving about, rendered It anything but enjoyable to those who were not Interested by speculation. The moat remarka ble scene, however, was looking from the stand to the Castle-pole turn—thousands of persons covered the wall, and the slope neer the Grosvenor-bridge was =need with slelitieera as was bui ee in e e 7 available spot from which a view of the finish could be o The opening events were not viewed with any very great Interest by the generality of the company, but excitement was at its height when the seventeen numbers of the starters were hoisted. The absentees from the twenty-two "coloured" on the card were No. 11 (Mr. Pitt, struck out et o'clock), No. 14`(Cutaway), No. 18 (Belgreve), No. 20 (Rococo), sad No. 21 ( Marco Spade). Redcap was theffrst horse to appear, followed by a crowd of admirers who wasthat lertillynaLscte:ever the f illed a fivO n ulit t rto ge tre poet ral oi mretter con dition. Delight also received • great share of attention when he appeared with little Kenyon in the saddle; while Dolby, who with his stable companion Buckfoot took his preliminary canter last, was pronounced the pink of condition. The seventeen runners arrived at the post a few minutes before the time appointed—LDS—but owing to the breaking away of Dubiety, Mr. Mentorge's tint attempt was frustrated,. Eventually, after several false starts, in which Du biety always played a prominent pert, the horses were despatched at 3.25 to an excellent start, The Clown cutting out the work, after they had fairly settled in their plane, at a tremendous pace and Mr. Barber's horse maintained his position till within a mile of home, when Dolby took up the running, and, amidst peat excitement, rounded the last turn Into the straight several lengths in advance of Redcap, clear of whom ran Delight and Moulsey, the City and Suburban winner having broken down badly, giving way to Treasure Trove sad Honesty. At the dis tance Cannon, on Redcap, made a desperate effort to overhaul Dolby, but the latter, full of running, came on with the lead, and won amidst tremendous cheering by four lengths . Mr. Bennett, who declared to win with Dolby , hinds a good stake, and the success of teat year's winner fully bears out the assertion his owner constantly made that his horse could not lose. The suc cess of Dolby two years in sucoemion has never before been accomplished the nearest approach to this feat being by Lea rMngton, who won the Cup In 1857, when a four.yeer-old, carrying OM 9th, and again in 1860, with Sit 21b on his beck. During the contest some casualties occurred beside the breaking down of as Bengali in a scrimmage blundered and broke his leg. seriously injured • foot, and Buckfoot was placed hors de combat by banking down in the early part of the race. The remainder of the racing is sufficiently described in the annexed return. A HANDICAP of 100 son., for tyr.olds and upward& Weight for age. Three-quarters of a mile. (16 subs.)

Mr. Sl'George almost immediately took them under command, but several breaks away preceded the start, in which Dubiety, Honesty, end With field were most conspicuous. At length —at the sixth attempt—at exactly 3. 2 5 the signal was given to an excellent start. Honesty was the first to show slightly In advance, followed by Surney, Dubiety, and The Clown, King fisher end Buckfoot being next, the others lying well together in such compact order that it would be Impossible to define their relative positions.

Honesty, having taken second place, was followed by Sunny. Dolby, Redcap. Dubiety, Moulsey. Delight, Treasure Trove, Lion, Pintus. and Buckfoot, the latter executed his comminion, having dropped away in company with the rear division, while Blithilekt.

They emerged from the straight In this order, hut after waking the turn Dolby went up to the Omni, whom he heeded. and Mr. Barber's horse was in turn passed by Redcap, Delight, and Moulsey, who went on In pursuit of Dolby, the race being confined to this lot, the others now presenting a long tell. Just be fore reaching the half-mile post Delight ran to the quar ters of Redcap, and was going so strung that Cannon, on the favourite, was fairly astonished at his opponent, who continued in close attendance on the Marquis's horse until approaching the Grosvenor turn, where Kenyon suddenly found his horse falter under hint, and Redcap quitting him immediately, went on in pursuit of Dolby, who, however, on entering the straight, bad the race in hand, for Redcap, running hopelessly beaten ell the way up, last year's victor won, hands down, by four lengths. Delight struggled on—fairly on three legs—to the distance. where Kenyon, easing him, let up Moulsey, Treasure Trove, and Honesty.

Sarah Milhous, who was found barbarously murdered under such mysterious circumstances at a house in Cannon-street, Otty, was resumed yesterday afternoon at the Vestry-room of St.Antholin Church, before Mr. Serjeant Payne, one of the City _oorosere. Mr. Wanner appeared to watch the case for the prose cution, instructed by Mr. Bevington. The prisoner, Wm. Smith, who has been apprehended on suspicion, remains in the custody of the police. He will be brought up to day before the Lord Mayor for examination. He was not present at the inquest. The court having been duly opened, Mr. Scarth, a soli citor, stated that he appeared for the prisoner, and asked to be allowed to put questions to the witnesses. The Coroner said that he could not be allowed to do so. If the Lord Mayor permitted it, he might cross-examine them at the examination before him. Mr. Searth expressed a hope that even a coroner's jury would not find a verdict of guilty without some one repre senting the prisoner being allowed to put questions to the witnesses. The Coroner—lt is not necessary for you to do so, nor is it desirable. Mr. Scarth said that he simply made the application be cause the prisoner wu not present. He wu quite innocent of the murder, and, in fact, knew no more about it than • . the man in the moon. The Coroner—That is mere assertion. Mr. Scarth—l hope you will not find him guilty without hearing a word from me. The Coroner—You cannot be allowed to interrupt the proceedings. If you persist you must be removed. We must now hear the witnesses. Mrs. Arabella Robins, sworn—l am a widow, and live next door to Messrs. Bevington ' e premises, on the London bridp side. I :have seen the man who is in custody. I save him on the night of the murder about a quarter past 10 o'clock coming off the steps of Messrs. Bevington's street-door. - Mr. Scarth said that there were two doors. The Coroner—There was only one at the time of the murder. Mr. Searth —There are two now. The Coroner—lf you are not quiet, you must go out of the court. Examination resumed—My attention was attracted to the circumstance by the slamming of the door, which quite frightened me. It was then about 10 minutes or a quarter past 10 o'clock, and on looking I saw the prisoner leaving the door steps. I had just got to my door and had rang my bell when I heard the slamming of Mmes. Bevington's door. I had been out since half-past 8 o'clock, and was returning. To get to 'my house I had to pus Messrs. Bevington's door, but I did not notice in passing whether it was open or shut. I had just rang my bell when my attention was attracted by the slamming of the door. The person who came out me on my ride of the way and. went down towards irdigeed row and had just got to the end of the pavement where it turns down Budge-row, when my dootigned and I went six when I wen in. He may have gone five sr t in. I turned round and looked over the t shoulder on hear ing the slamming of the door. I saw the person leave the step of Messrs. Bevington's door, but I noticed him more particularly as he passed our door. He gave me a side look as he passed me. I did not see his face before that. He did not turn his head towards me, but I caught his eye. Mr. South again attempted to interpose in the proceed ings, but the coroner peremptorily ordered him to be turned out of the court. Mr. Scarth attempted to say something about if that was the way in which an innocent man was to be treated; but his observation was out short by the coroner, who told him that unless he held his tongue he sho uld commit him. Mr. Scarth then, at the request of the officer, retired ham the seat he occupied to the back of the room. Examination resumed—l saw the side face of the pri soner, and I have since identified him at the Mansion house. He was placed with some others, fourteen in number, I think, and I picked him out. He was the third man. At the time I first saw him on passing me he had his hand up to his throat. He had thin whiskers. It was the reflection of the lamp that made me notice that. At the Mansion-house all the men were desired to par me. They did so, and returned, and when they returned I picked him out. He was trying to keep himself more up right. I said, " I believe that is the man I saw come out." There were several officers there, but not in police dres s, though some of them might have been. All that I had been requested to do was to notice if I had seen the man that I saw come from Bevington's. I do not feel any doubt about it in my own mind. He appeared to me to be dressed in dark clothes on the first night I saw him. I may have seen him about Mr. Bevington's before the murder. I have an impression that I have, but I cannot say positively. By the Jury—There was nobody else in the street at the time. It was not raining. I did not know of the inquest two days after the murder, not having been summoned to attend. I was very mach upset when I heard of the murder. The Coroner here stated that, with regard to the ob servation'. of the person who had just gone out, he wished to say that be did not in the least desire to prevent any one from putting a 9uestion with the view of elucidating the facts. But, in his opinion, sitting, as they were, more in the capacity of a grand jury than anything else,. it was far better that the cross-questioning should be deferred till the man himself was present. The intention of cross questioning the witnesses at the present stage of the in quiry was evidently to bother the witnesses and prevent the truth from coming out, and thus defeat the ends of justice. The jury were quite competent to judge of the truth of the witnesses, they only having to express an opinion as to whether there was • prima facie case against the prisoner. The person who had just left might attend the Lord Mayor's court to-morrow, when the prisoner would be brought up, and croas•examine the witnesses, if the Lord Mayor chose to permit it, but he could prevent him from doing so if he chose. The proper time for cross examination was at the trial. Inspector Shelford was then sworn, and stated that he searched the boxes of the deceased after 12 o'clock on the night of the murder. Mr. Smith, who is connected with Messrs. Bevington's firm, was present, and brought a desk to me. — The . Coroner—Where was it brought from! Mr. H. T. Smith, cashier of Messrs. Bevington'o, said— The deceased had a separate bedroom from her fellow-ser vant. I knew her room, and made • earth in the dining room and bedroom, in company with Inspector Shelford. The desk was found in the bedroom, there being nothing of importance found in the dining-room. The cook gave me the desk, and told me that it belonged to the deceased. Elisabeth Lowes, the cook, was then called, and deposed to the searching of the rooms, and that she fetched a desk out of the bedroom of the deceased, and took it to them in the dining-room. The desk belonged to the deceased. It was not locked. I did not know what use she made of it, and never saw her pmt anything into it. Mr. Smith said he opened the desk in question. There were in it a letter signed by Terry, and a receipt, some photograph likenesses, and some notepaper and envelopes. I handed the letter over to Shelford. Mr. Shelford produced the letter, which has already been made public. The letter was handed to Sergeant Moss to make inquiry. Sergeant Moss recalled—Haring the letter phused in my hands I went in search of George Terry, and found him in St. Olave Union Workhouse. He e a man about 50 years of age, and appeared very straightforward. I obtained some information from what Terry said to me from Alder manbury, and on Monday, the 16th of April. I went to Windsor, and on Tuesday I went to No. 6, Eton-square, accompanied by Inspector Spearman, of the Eton College police, leaving Hancock, another City policeman, and In spector Reece, of the Berle police, outside. Inspector Spearman knocked at the door, and it was answered by a person I have since ascertained to be Smith's mother. We went round to the back of the house through a little court, and saw Smith just entering the back door. We followed him into the front parlour, and I said, " Is your name William Smith!" He said it was. I then said, "When were you in London last!" and he said the 10th of January. I showed him the letter, and he said it was in his handwriting, and added, " I now know what you mean." I said, " Well, what do I mean ? " He appeared to hesitate for a second, and said, " Oh, I will tell the magis trate." He went on—" I wrote the note for a man and took it to her for him." His mother then came into the room and asked what this all meant. I asked Smith, in his mother's presence whether he was in London last week. Smith said, " Let my mother answer." On which his mother said she thought not. I asked his mother where he was on Wednesday. She said she could not recollect. r And she also said, "He has always been a trial to me, he will do anything. He will never work, and that is the reason why he has only got one shirt, and I thought I would make him work to get another." I searched the house and found a suit of clothes which had spots on. The Coroner—But they turn out not to be spots of blood; they have been examined by one of the first professional men, and there is no question of that, therefore you need not go into it. Witnem—l told his mother and him that it was most important that I should be told where he was on Wed nesday, and Smith said he was with Mr. Harris at half-past seven, that he was going to a meeting with another young man, that the young man went to the meeting, and he went for a walk. Up to this I had not charged him. I told him I should have to take him to London for a person to see him, and that I was one of the detective officers from London, and that I should charge him suspicion of murdering Sarah Millsom, at 2, Cannon-street west, City. He said, " That ' s a very se rious charge indeed. lam as innocent es a baby. I have not been in London since the Ist of February last, when I called on Mr. Fuggle, of No. 10, Aldermanbury, about some money that wax due to me. It was 101. that my brother lent Mr. Fuggle ;" and he said, " I first went with that letter the latter part of last year. I called about three o'clock ; she was washing up, and told me to come again on fastur day. I said, " Did you write that receipt !" He said, " Yes ; it is no use my denying that, because you can prove that it is in my writing." He said also " Mrs. Millsom had paid Ise at different times. I knew it was wrong, and that Terry had no right to the money, and that is why I signed my name • Denton,' which is a name I sometimes need. " I took him to Bow- goorskitoct for the Cheater Cup !EVENING, APRIL 26, 1866. lane station and charged him, and he said he was innocent. On Wednesday last I was present at the Mansion-house when the witness Mrs. Robins saw him. We got fourteen or fifteen men out of the street, some about the height of Smith, and they walked from the cells past her, Smith being the third man in that precession. 'Then they re turned again walking past her, Smith retaining hie or position, and she said, " That is the moi." She pointed to him. Mrs. Robins has not seen him since. Smith was seen going from Eton to Slough, but there is no one present that saw him in London that night, or when he returned home. There will be evidence to show that he said he was coming to London that night, and he was seen coming in the direction of Slough. By the Jury.—The prisoner knew well enough what my object was. I was not in uniform, and the officer who wee with me was in plain clothes. The reason why his mother said that he had only one shirt is that we were searching for his things, and I asked where his linen was. Catherine Collins, a servant of Mrs. Robins, sworn.—l recollect seeing the prisoner about two months ago come out of Bevington's about 9 o'clock, and I saw him again shortly afterwards also come out. That was also at night. I feel no doubt whatever that he is the man I have seen there. Mrs. Robins said to me on the night of the murder that she had just seen a man go from Bevington's, and I remarked how late it was. By the Jury—l know that Bevingtona close early, and it is exceedingly quiet there after business hours, so that I noticed the person whom I saw go out. Wm. Bettison sworn—l am a warehouseman at Mr. Bevington's. I saw the prisoner when taken into custody, and recognised him as a man I had seen at Messrs. Bering ton's three or four months before. I saw him in the after noon, but do not know for what purpose he was there. I met him at the top of the stairs on the second floor, and he asked me either for the housekeeper or for Mrs. Mill som. I don't know which. He might have remained only five minutes, or he bight have been there half an hour. George Terry—l am at present an inmate of St. Cleve Union Workhouse, and have been there about three months. Before that I used to live in Redcrossotreet, and am a labourer. I knew Mrs. Millsom some years ago as living next door to me in West-street, Neckmger. I know the prisoner Smith. He went by the name of " Bill" with us. I first knew him about five or six months ago. I only knew him by the name of Bill. He lived at 3, Denney-street, Redcrossotreet. He used to tell me he was upholstering. When I went to lodge at Dency-street he slept in the next bed, and used to talk shout some money owing to him or coming to him from his brother in Aldermanbury, and I told him that there was some money coming to me that I had borrowed of Mrs. Webber, the landlady, to lend to Mrs. llillsom, and I could not get it, and he said, " 11l get it for you : 171 manage that." Previous to that Mrs. Millaom had told me to send some one decenter than I was, and she would pay them for me. Then I told this here Bill the particulars bow she had had it. This was afterwards, and after telling him of it we went to • public-house, and Bill wrote two notes, one of which he was to take to Mrs. Millsom, to show that he came front me. It was smaller and darker than the note produced. This was in the morning, and I took him to Bevington's and pointed out the house, and he went in, I waiting outside. When he came out he told me he was to call again at 3 o'clock. I then went with him to 10, Aldermanbury, and there he re mained talking with some people, and kept me a long time waiting, so that it was getting dusk when he left them, and he said, " Come along, or we shall be too late." He eked me to wait at a public-house, and I waited half-an-hour When he came out, be asked, " How much do you think I have got!" and I said, " Why 2/., because Mrs. Millsom promised me something worth while," and he said, " Only that," holding out some 14s. or 16s. He then went into a public-house, and he ordered spot of beer, which we drank. and I gave him 55., saying, " IQyou are a man, be • man." He then ordered more beer, and I suspected he bad more money, and in the end he called • cab and drove into the Borough, to a public-house called the Salmon, and got terribly drunk. I afterwards saw my wife, from whom I am separated, and she blamed me for employing Smith to get the money, and said that she had been told by a boy that he had got 2/. 124. 6d. instead of 14s. as he had told me and I said to Smith, " What a-- rogue you must be. i ' I never saw him after that till I saw him at Windsor with the police. This being all the evidence which the police were then in a position to produce The Coroner briefly addressed the jury, dwelling'upon the fact that the prisoner was seen by Mrs. Robins to leave the house at the very time that a person who had committed the murder must have left it, and also the strong fact that be bad several times called upon the deceased in reference to money translations, and had written her a threatening letter. He read over the depositions of the witnesses, stating that the case was !purely one of circumstantia l evidence, and observing that in his opinion there was quite sufficient proved before them to justify them in giving a verdict, but if they preferred an adjournment, in the hope that farther information would be obtained, he should have no objection to that course. The inquest room was then cleared, and the jury, after deliberating about half an hour, expressed a wish for a farther adjournment. The inquest was accordingly adjourned for a week. lain Intelligente. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—ArRIL 25. Sittings at Nisi Pruis.--(Before Baron Channell and a Common Jury)., BARGEANT V. INEOPT AND ANOTHER. The plaintiff was a medical man who had formerly resided in Gower-street, Bedford-square, and the defendants were dealers in musical instruments, carrying on business in Oxford-street. The action was breght to recover the value of an enterpeon, or self-acting organ, which the plaintiff said he had purchased from the defendants and paid for. For the defence the case was that the organ had only been lent to the plaintiff, and that the money the defendants had received from him had reference to certain bills and other transactions between them. The trial, which involved a rather complicated state of facts, occupied the court the greater part of yesterday and the whole of the m • to-day, resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 4501. Dr. Kenealy and Mr. M. Williams were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Oppenheim for the defendants. me be murdered." The people cried out, " Hit her again ; you have a key ;" but Mrs. Madison did not use it. The prisoner, in defence, said the complainant wanted to forsake ber own husband and live with her (the pri mmer's) husband, and was constantly meeting him. Im proper familiarities existed between her husband and complainant. Mrs. Madison said there was not a word of truth in any of the prisoner's statements,except that she met her cousin on Friday night last in the street, while upon an errand, and exchanged a few words with him. Sergeant Blackwell said the complainant was a well conducted and respectable young woman. Mr. said he was perfectly satisfied the jealousy the oomainant by the defendant was perfectly unf It was a fancied jealousy, and the /simmer was making herself miserable, her own husband miserable, and injuring the happiness of the complainant and her husband by in dulging in a rabid passion. Mrs. Madison had behaved very well, and must be protected. He should remand the prisoner for a week, and her husband must attend the next examination. He would then determine what punishment he should inflict. The prisoner—Will you take a fine? Mr. Paget—No, certainly not. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. —-- - - - Aram 25. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) Soon after the appointment of Sir James Wilde as judge-ordinary of the Divoroe Court, he gave orders that those suits which for any cause were standing over should be placed upon a reserved list ; and this list has gradually increased until it now contains 33 cases. To-day the first 24, in none of which had any step been taken during the last six months, were called over, and most of them were struck out. Amonst those re tained was " Haywood v. Haywood," a suit for restitution, in which the peti tioner had been prevented, by becoming insane, from going on with her suit ; and the cross petitions of "Hep worth v. Hepworth," and "Hepworth v. Hepworth and Gibson." In this case Mr. Hepworth, a surgeon with a small practice at Gloucester, had been ordered to pay into court or find security for 7001. to meet the oosts of his wife. This sum, representing several years' income, was quite beyond his means, and the case has thus for many years remained untried. In the meantime the unlucky husband has been twice attached for costs and arrears of alimony, and has bad to relieve himself by the aid of the Bankruptcy Court. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Henry Nentery, who until reoently hu carried on business as a merchant in Pudding-lane, was brought up for re-examination upon the charge of unlawfully appro priating a quantity of hoots, valued at 700/., which had been entrusted to him to take harge of, to his own use. Mr. Humphreys prawn and Mr. G. Lewis appeared for the defendant. The ;;;;;as ;rather peculiar one. The prosecutor was a Mr. Austin, a barrister, but not in practice, and it appeared that he had purchased 10,000 pairs of boots that had been originally intended for the use of the Confede rate army, at is 6d. per pair, through the instrumentality of Captain Warwick, an officer in the Confederate army, with the expectation of disposing of them at a large profit. The property was temporarily deposited at the warehouse of the defendant, to be delivered to the order of Mr. Austin, but when the latter went to apply for them he discovered the defendant's warehouse was closed. He saw him afterwards, and he then said that the goods had been mold at the rate of ls. per pair, and he also said that they had been attached by the creditors of Captain Warwick, who had become a bankrupt, and who had not surrendered to his bankruptcy, and it was stated had gone . to America. Tee case occupied s considerable time, and in the result the defendant was again remanded, the Lord Mayor re ; fusing to accept of bail. THAMES. _ _ _ A very pretty young woman, named A nn Knife, the wife of a waterman, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting Mary Jane Madison. The complainant, a modest-looking young woman , mar ried, with one child, said her husband was a stableman, and she lived with him at Loth's-buildings Upper East Smithfield. The prisoner's husband was her Oonsin. They were on speaking terms, and had occasionally met each other, but no impropriety had ever taken place between them. The prisoner, however, bad thought proper to be jealous of her, and m ade her husband miserable, and others very uncomfortable by her violent temper. A few weeks ago, after she had gone to bed, the prisoner made •forcible entry into her room, made use of very foul and accused her of incontinence with all the men lan it a ge neighbourhood. She then made an attempt to strike her, but her husband got before her and turned her out of the room. On the previous night she was passing along Queen-street, Tower-hill, when she received a violent blow on the black, which nearly forced her on her face, and took her breath away. The ierisoner followed up this blow by scratching her face, teanng her hair, and pulling her bonnet off. She was very much injured by the violence inflicted on her. Mrs. Perry, housekeeper at the Vestry-house, Tower hill, saw the outrage, which astonished her. The com plainant was crying, and said, " Pray help me ; don't let CREDIT FONCIER AND MOBILJNB. After our report left yesterday, Mr. Lev Ica, deputy-governor, seconded the motion. Mr. CROUCH moved is an amendment, "That it was the opinion of the meeting that the dividend proposed should be the same as last—namely, 11. per share—which would leave 45,000/. to be carried to next account." He had no doubt that every gentleman present was satisfied with the dividend suggested by the directors ; but the question was, did they receive the dividend to which they were entitled A reduction of dividend would injure the re putation of the company, and on that account he objected to their going down the ladder. (Laughter, and cheers.) He hoped they would not enaction a course which would add weight to the insinuations cast against them. Mr. CORDING seconded the amendment. The CHAIRMAN said he did not know whether the pro poser and seconder of the amendment intended to persist in the step they had taken, but he would state for their information that on technical and legal grounds they could not increase the dividend. Mr. Conoco said he wanted an increase of bonus. The CHAIRMAN—We can't do it. Mr. CROUCH—What do we come here for? The CHAIRMAN — A public meeting can diminish a divi dend, but they cannot increase it. There are two courses open to you—either to negative the report, or to refer the matter back to the directors. Mr. CROUCH suggested the adoption of the latter course. Mr. MlDDLennor, while disc/aiming anythir like hos tile feeling towards the board, thought it w ould be very satiefactory to the directors, and certainly satisfactory to the entire body of shareholders and the public, if steps were taken to examine the securities—(hear,hear) — and he would suggest the appointment of five independent share holders for that purpose. (" Hear, hear," and "No, no.") If the company wished to meet the malicious reports which had been circulated to their detriment, they would adopt that course. Mr. WILMON, although not in favour of the amendment, which he believed received the support of only • small minority of the shareholders, expressed a desire for in formation on a point of much importance, and one to which no allusion had yet been made—namely, whether the directors had any percentage or commimion on undi vided profits. (Hear.) Mr. BRUCE in seconding the motion for a committee , investigation, said the directors had been re-discounting trills, for the purpose of " raising the wind," to get money with which to pay the dividends. (Uproar.) Colonel DALZZLL wished for information, which if given satisfactorily, would remove the doubts of shareholders and put an end to the attacks made on the company outside. He dissented altogether from thcesgentlemen who wished for a larger dividend. He thought the shareholders were bound to the opinion of the directors. (Hear, hear.) After further discussion, The CHAIRMAN said that in consequence of his illness he was not in a position to answer all the questions put but he bad no doubt Mr. Grant, their managing director, would give all the information desired. As re garded the Imperial Land Company of Marseilles, he wished to say he was ill in bed when that undertaking came out, and therefore he could not reply to the inquiry put respecting that company, which was brought out by the Credit Fonder and Mob tier with every prospect of success, and with temporary actual mews. He took that opportunity for asserting that there was • wide-spread conspiracy in existence for the purpose of deteriorating the value o their property. He thought they had information which would dials' them telexpose individuals to • • y and contempt. As regarded the questions put to him, he observed that some of them were of a personal nature, inasmuch as they referred to the holdings of the directors. It had been insinuated that some of the directors had parted with a portion of their shares..He did not know that information of this kind should be asked for at • public meeting. (Hear, hear.) However, he would tell them he had no knowledge of anything of that kind. If any gentleman would come to him privately he would show him his holdings ; and they recently had in stances of persons coming to see the holdings of each director. His holdings were large, and perhaps more than it was prudent he should have ; but he held them because he had • good opinion of the company. (Applause.) He had no doubt that in the city, and even in that room, observations were made which were intended to injure the company. (Hear, hear.) A shareholder had complained that enough information had not been given in the profit and lossatmount, and stated that if there was no profit the directors would be obliged to say something. (Laughter.) If the latter were the ease, a committee of inquiry would indeed be necessary, but so long as the directors honestly conducted the affairs of the company they expected their confidence. With regard to the statement that information respecting their report had reached the Stock Exchange before the document was pub lished, he begged to say that he had already heard rumours to the same effect, and w ith very great regret. If any director allowed himself to be the channel of communication with outside parties, it was contrary to his engagement, and a breach of faith. A SHAREHOLDER sugge sted that the information might have been given thro ugh the printer. The CHAIRMAN continued to say that the board had taken fresh measures to prevent the recurrence of the matter. With regard to the paying up of shares, the directors did not see how to get out of the difficulty affecting the unpaid shareholders, and they had not yet agreed to any remedial measure. He reminded the share holders that the auditors were appointed at the general meeting. A SHAREHOLDER wished to know the aggregate of the directors' holdings The CHAIRMAN replied that the information could be obtained by the payment of the Is. registration fee. How ever, if his belief were asked, he would state that each director held more shares than at the last meeting. (Cheers.) lie emphatically denied that the directors took commission on undivided profits and on the net profits, and he had done so several times. Colonel Dstieu, asked if any pecuniary advances were made to the directors or office bearers The CHAIRMAN replied that being absent for three or four months from London, he was unacquainted with the details which may be within the knowledge of other directors. He was told that some trifling advancee were made to members of the board, but they had been accom panied by collateral securities. Colonel llstiamo—lt is most suicidal to make advances upon any consideration to the directors. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said it was not the practice to make those advances. The advances made were trifling in amount, and in • short time would be extinct. The state ment of Mr. Renee to the effect that they gave dividends by raising the wind was beneath his notice. (Cheers and uproar.) It had been said that two millions of their money were looked up, and that the shareholders had not an op portunity of seeing the nature of the investments. If they insisted upon such a coarse they had better shut up their establishment. If they went to Rothschild, or to any of the great banks, would they publish every security they had in their chests? (Hear, hear.) The motion as to the adoption of the report was then put and carried, with one dissentient. A vote of thanks was moved to Mr. Grant, the managing director. Mr. Virrnra protested that his questions had not been answered. He entirely believed in the business habits of Mr. Grant, and he would not dissent from the motion ; but he wished to know from Mr. Grant whether at the lest meeting he did not hold 2,500 shares, and if he had only taken 674 instead of 1,200 odd of the new shares, and now held only 300 old shares. Mr. GRANT, who was received with cheers, then pro ceeded to deal seriatim with the questions put by share holders. He explained in reference to the shares held by him, that he got new shares because he found them cheaper than old ones, and said his holdings of both Glasses of shares extended to 1 000. He begged to say he reserved to himself the right to hold as many shares as he liked, just as would be the ode with any share holder. He thought the governor bad given the most candid answers to the question which had come within the scope of his observation. (" No, no.") He (Mr. Great) joined issue with Mr. Crouch and Mr. Jones in their state ment that a dividend indicated the position of a company, and the fault brought against them by eminent men in the City was, not that they had given too small dividends, but that the dividends declared had been too large. Looking at the financial world and the political 'aped of Europe, he thought it behoved them to act with prudence, and—to use a common expression— to provide for the Today day. (" Hear hear," and cheers.) A great deal of discussion had taken p lane with regard to the balance-ebeet and he wished to touch upon the sub ject and to give the shareholders an instance of the unde sirability of observingg that fulness of detail which seemed to be so muchwishedfor. The International Financial Amo dation wanted to give their shareholders the detail of every investment, and they formed their balance-eheet in this way :—By cash at bankers, so much ; by sundry debtors for advances on eseurities, so much ; by Hudson's Bay Companyl,74o shares atper, 342,8001 They would have thought ihe - shozeholders would be extremely gratified at this information; but what was the fact?
