IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.- FRJDAY, At ..t.T THR HOUMS of Luxes yesterday again went into orsiiiiiittee on the Representation of the People Bill The Marquis of Ssusmhv moved to insert a clause enabling persons duly registered, iuu lien of attending in person to vote, to vote by means of Toting papers, both in counties and boroughs. The o stem, he said, had been found to work etli• eientl:• in the election of guardians of the poor, and mor• recently in university elections. It would enable mime voters to give their votes without any sacribc, . and without being subject to that intimi dation and violence which they had seen in Irish electionA. T:. • E.irl of DERBY gave his unqualified adhe sion t.. the proposal. It would enable the aged, the sick, the infirm, and the timid to give their votes without concealment, free from the danger and tumult attending a contested election. But while he was prepared t•. adopt voting papers at all parhamentary elections, yet if their lordships preferred it he would acquiesce in the aloption in county constituencies only as a trial. He was not at present prepared to give an opinion as to the machinery to be adopted, 1.,:t Le was gh.d that the Douse of Co•nuuons would have the opportunity of again c'•aeidering the question. Earl De (Lim , and Ens" expressed his sun:l:P.4f at the statement of the Earl of Derby. The whole point of the ease lay in the detai7s, cart he hoped that the house would not 'sanction the princinle without knos:ing the :4ystem to be :.lopted. De was not satisfied with the working of the system .4 voting papers in the election of guardians, antin stead of putting a stop to bribery and intimidation lie thought it would increase them. Lord Caine, Lord De nos, Lord Clownirry-, the Del..: of Cleveland, and Erl Fortcseue addressed the bona• iu support of the amendment and the Earl of Kimberley and Earl irativille against it ; and on a din Won it was carried by 114 1.36. Clauses were added, on the motion rri Earl STAN HOPE, enacting that parliameet should art be di sul veil the demise of the crown, but should c,m tinur• in e \istence till dirsolved in the ordinary way ; arid, on the motion of Earl DI: t;:tev, qualifying any person who has acted as election agent foitii being a returning (tracer. Earl I :1;El' moved, in lieu of clause 47,, a clamie providing that a member on being appointed to office iii the g. , verntuont shvald not thereby vacate his seat. The Earl of Datum praerrc l the clans° as it stood, providing that re-eltsit..lia should not be necessary on a change from one ale:strtunatt of government to another. The in-tion was negatived, as was also another, which was likewise anoveal by Earl CRE.., that the disapaalif)ing rule which now applies to the officers of the revenue department should be :..tended to the other servants of the crown. The other clauses and the schedules were agreed to, and the bill passed through committee, and was ordered to he reported on Monday. The house adjourned at I I o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY, Amon 2. ix the Hot;sx of COMMONS, after our report left yesterday, a lungthened discussion followed on the motion for going into committee on the Artisans' and Labourers' Dwellings Bill, which ended in the motion being withdrawn, and the house went into committee and was engaged in the discussion of the various clauses, up to clause 19, till 10minutes to 4, when further progress with the bill was post poned. The Public Health (Scotland) Bill passed through committee. The sitting was suspended at 4 o'clock. The house re-assembled at six o'clock. The SPILAKILR, in reply to a question from Mr. Mulkey, stated that his attention had been called to a meeting of gentlemen, not members of the house, having been held in the tea-room on Monday, at which speeches were made in reference to a bill before the house. Such a proceeding was not in accordance with established rule. The Deputy Berjeant-at-Arms went to the room and informed the gentlemen assembled that their proceeding was irregular, and they immediately dispersed. The members who were instrumental in ob taining the room had stated that they were not aware of the breach of order, and had expressed their re ,,, ret that an irregularity had taken place. azAIWY in reply to Mr. Neate, who asked what steps he intended to take in consequence of the notice given by the Reform League to hold a monster meeting in Hyde-park on Monday next, replied that it would be his duty to see that peace and order were preserved. On the order for goin g into committee of Supply Mr. H. SLy‘iotia called attention to the conduct of the authorities in India, in reference to the famine in Oriasa last year, by which 750,000 persona perished. He referred in great detail to the papers which had been published on the sub joet,showing that the attention of Mr. Ravenshaw, the commissioner in Orissa was called in November to the approaching famine by the reminders, but that he refused to believe it and went to the bill country for his health, and did not return till the 31stJanuary.ltlethensomewhatchanged hisopinion. and made applications to the Board of Revenue for rice, but they, persistently refused to send rice, on the ground that their doing so would interfere with the ordinary course of trade and be against the principles of political economy, and they did not send any until the 29th of May, and then of the easels employed only one was a stean.er, and some of the others were bound for (line, and were to bring rice on their return. The relief always came too late, and the rice imported was scarcely enough to feed a twentieth of the population on full rations for six months. He moved for the production of certain correspondence and documents connected with the subject. Mr SmoLterr seconded. He regarded this famine and its attendant mortality as the most awful oc currence that had taken place for 1800 years. Mr. H. A. Bisect addressed the house at sonic length in palliation of the conduct of the authori ties in India, urging the great extent of the country Sir Cecil Heade'', the Lieutenant- Governor of Bengal, had to govern ; and that the famine came upon them unexpectedly, Orissa being generally an exporting country. Lord W. HAY contended that a great portion of the blame was attributable to the Lieutenant- Governor of Bengal, and not to the Governor- General, who was in fact bound to listen to his advisers, and who was told by his counca that Sir. C. Hendon, who had known the country for more than thirty years, had recently been in Orissa, and that he did not apprehend a famine. Nor was it fair to attempt to shift the blame on the Revenue Board, which was, in fact, a mere department. Sir J. FmtnrssoN admitted that ii was natural that the house should feel disgust that under the vaunted British rule so little was dune at the critical moment to avert the impending calamity. He urged that the blame must be 'prowl widely ; but that some consideration must be extended to men who had spent a long and honourable life in the public service. After some observations from Mr. II rurssax and Mr. STANNIFILD, Lord CRAWBOZNE said the whole question was, was there laid before the lieut.-governor sufficient information to have roused in the mind of an ordinary man the feeling of probability that such a calamity as had oecurr".t.l would occur. There were three classes of witnesses—the natives, who were unanimous in their opinion that famine was impending ; the unofficial Englishmen, the persons connected with the railway and other c ,rka, the merchants and the missionaries, who warned the government of what was coming ; and then there were the officials, who, with one or two exceptions, appeared to have been walking in a dream, with a superb unconsciousness of what everyone else was aware of. He believed the fact was, that Sir Cecil Beadon was in ill health at the time, and was in fact incompetent, though he had been in times gone by very competent ; but no consideration ought to have induced him to continuo in his office when his strength was not sufficient to enable him to fulfil its duties. He did THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 3, 1867. ~ot think the Governor-General was to blame ; he was misled by his council, hut he must say that councils were " a device of Old Nick." were tram mels to the competent, and screens to the incom petent Air S. NoIRTfICOTZ defended the tone of his despatch. If Sir Cecil Beadon had been still Lieu tenant-Governor of Bengal he might have had to consider whether he should be recalled : hut Sir Cecil no longer held that office, and he thought it right to attribute the blame that ass due to those who still remained in office. No doubt Sir Cecil Beadon was systematically misled by those under him. He considered the system was at fault, and intimated that steps would be taken to revise it. The amendment was then withdrawn. The C"iirt 91 Chancery (Officers) Bill and the Militia Pay Bill were read a third time and passed. l'rs.grests was made in committee on the Turn- Acts ,ntinuance Bill. The iv. Lie adjourned at five minutes past three. *porting intelligence. - - -L-- . GOODWOOD RACE3.—FaiDAY.

On faraday evening, when time was called. Maryiebone had lost three wickets, in their second hands, for DI rues, Bid dulph being well " set." Captain Parnell occupied the wicket vacated by Alfred Shaw Just previous to the time of " striking" overnight, Messrs. Bourne and Mils being the bowlers, the latter from the Pavilion end, Both batsmen appeared to Ito in tip top form. and they resolutely " collared" the Rugby bowl. lug, so that by dint of hard hitting In less than hail An hour the store was augmented to 100, Indflulph's principal contributions to which Included a brace of fours, off Mr. Kills, and an off drive from Mr. Bourne. two cuts for three, and an on drive. The cap tain kept pace with him by booking a four (on drive off Ellis , three threes ,em drive, square leg, and cut). The score w as in creased to 11o,when a double change of bowling tookplaia- viz., Mr. Soutter for Mr. Bourne and Mr.. Francis in place of Mr. RBIs Captain Parnell propelled Sootier to leg into the neighbourhood of the tiaber•yard. The Rusts:lain had found a "brace of Tartan," and tried in vain to fart them. At 122 Captain Parnell wee let off at the wicket oft Mr. &sitter, and again at short leg, off the same bowler, when ths score stood at 140. lin time was however come, as Mr. Francis sent down an Irresistible one, which sent the gal lant captain's leg stump flying, he having made 48 In very spirited style by four 4's, live a's, three l' s, de. The total stood at 142, 711 of which had been added by the Joint efforts of the retiring batsman and Biddulph. The Hon. P. Methuen joined the latter, when he lifted Sir. Sootier to long leg, but Mr. Wilkes could not get to It. Ile then drove the same bowler to ling-on for 4, and the next ball Grundy gave him out " kg before" to Mr. Soutter - 6 ter 146, Captain Trevor was next In he got a two off a bad hit, and then was bowled clean ileg stump) by Mr. Francis. Another severe hitter ;Captain Kenney , followed, and he ought to hare been run oat, but the bell was badly thrown in. Bid dulph made 4 off each bowler, and the upshot was that Mr. Mounter gave way to 11r. Bourne, when 170 were posted. The Rugby fielding was certainly not up to the standard of the previous day. both batsmen hit away In a most determined manner, and Captain Kenney sent two balls into the pavilion enclosure (the wickets were pitched rather nearer the pavilion than usual,. When the score stood at lot stokes was commissioned to try at the peel lion end, and In Ida first over • loud shout announced the fall of 141.1iitilph's wicket. lie had Bogged the Rugby bowling wooer 4:dully. sad bad put together no less than 70, by seven foun, live threes, five MOP, &e. Mr Ward followed, and was sent lack to the pavilion by Mr. Blokes, after making 2, and Mr. Ellis took his place. Captain Kenney was again In great hitting form ; he drove Mr. Stokes for 4 to each side of the pavilion. Mr. Yaudley transferred the gauntlets to Mr. Wilkes, and began bowling with underhand slows; be, however, got much punished, and soon after Captain Kenney was caught In the slip of Mr. Stokes: his line hitting Innings of 62 Included five fours, three throes, seven twos, etc. Mr. Ellis drove Mr. Stokes to loug-on for 3. and the slows getting hit heavily, at 256 Mr. Bourns had a try from the upper wicket Mr. Ellis at length ran out, and the Innings aired at 235 for the large total of 276. The wickets fell thus one for 16, two for 37, three for al, four for 142, live for 143, Hs for 157, seven for lial, eight for 203, nine for 254, sod ten for 275. The Rugby howling was as follows :-Bourne, 43 ore It maidens, for 79 runs, 3 wicketa, and 1 wide; Ellis, re overt, 7 maidens, for 44 runs; Francis, 40 oven. 20 maidens, for 54 runs, 2 wickets and • wide ; !Mutter, 16 fivers, 12 maidens, for 39 runs and one wicket: Stokes, 15 oven, flee maidens, for 31 runs, three wickets, and a no hall ) Yaniley, live oven, for 20 runs. At 2.50 the Ituttinians, having 242 rang to olikdu to win the match, went manfully to work about • task the accomplishment of which was Impossible In the time left on hand. As before, Messrs. Stokes and Wilkes began the batting to the excellent 100 ding of Alfred Shaw and biumford-rather a severe ordeal to subject them to it most be acknowledged. When five bad been booked Mr. Wilkes was howled by Shaw, and Mr. Sputter went In. and remained until the wore was up to 16, when Shaw bowled hint with • terrible "shooter." Mr. Tulin mal.l came In, and at once "laid on," beginning with a magnificent leg hit off Shaw for nee. ',(sheers.) When the score bad reached we, Major Thompson took up the bowling at filuniford's end, tot Mr. Stokes drove him forward for three. A really fine display of batting ensued between these two young gentlemen, who were "mettled" up, and both played without any coverbog on their heads; theicoolointly raised the score to 57,whenCan Parnell went on, vice Shaw, and at every hit the cheering stud clapping of hands all round the ground dented the sympathy telt with the "boys" In their arduous task lir. Tobin ought certandy to have been run out though no one wished its through looking after the ball Instead of at his partner. Atop, when the gentkuien's howling wee netting terribly "Bagged," Rumford went on again. Mr. Toblo's leg hitting at this time was superb ; he also drove Captain Parnell to mid on twin, for three, through the indifferent &rifling of Mr. liandars The hitting continued till Mr. Tobin 's wicket eollapsni, with the Sc re at 87, of which hr had put on by brilliant hitting 44, including sue 5, one 4, six a , and three 2's. Mr. Bnekuell came in and got • brace to yammerer% and then Shaw went on bowling again at 91 Mr. Molise drove him to longest for live, amidst great cheering. thaw then bowled Mr. Bucknen with • " bailer," and Mr. Yardley, who followed, at once gave a fair atones to Cardillo Parnell in the field, which was mined. 100 went up. and then Mr. Stokes drove thaw for another five. Mr Stokes' defence and hitting were quite a treat to witness. Mr Yardley kept his wicket Intact for s o m e time, hit Shaw ultimately settled him, like the rest. with • " shooter." Mr. Tobin (Min.) mine In, and Mr. Stokes continued his line hitting, and then lost his partner, whom Wootton gave out " leg before." Mr. Francis came In, and he was given out "kg before" by Grundy. Mr. Bourne, after making five, was easily caught by Rumford at point, and Mr. Maitland played well for his dozen. Mr. Stokes made another doncloul leg.lllt off Shaw for five. Sir.

SHOEDURYNESS CAMP, Frtipar Ev=No. At the time the report was despatched last night it was a matter of great doubt whether the targets could be replaced in time to allow the competition for the queen's prize to be resumed and concluded that evening, and it was generally expected that it would not be re sumed until this morning. By the exertions of the officers and the ready way in which the gunners of the Itoyal Artillery went about the work, shortly before five o'clock the targets were replaced, and about half-past five o'clock the contest was resumed. Yesterday the let Sussex (Brighton) Corps had made 36 points, and this was so good a score that the possession of the prize was considered to be virtually decided, they having made three direct hita out of five shots at the long ranges. This apparent security, however, ought not, as it has already been seen during the progress of the meeting, to have been relied upon, inasmuch as other corps made a similar score, and these were the Ist A Cinque Ports, the Ist C Cinque Ports, and the second detachment of the let Sussex. Matters went on thus fur some time, these :s's rendering the highest scores, although there was a difference in the time that had been occupied in making them, and of course that detachment that hail taken the shortest time in firing its five rounds would have been entitled to the prize. This test, however, was not required, for on the West Yorkshire (Sheffield) going in they soon altered the state of affairs. The Ist, 2nd, and :Ird detachments made but very ordinary scores, but on the 4th detachment taking its place at the battery their first shot missed the target. Their gunner after this experimental shot soon got the proper elevation, and the next four shots all hit the target, counting for them 48 works. This settled the for ones of the day, and they were declared the winners of her Majesty. prize of lull guineas. The second detachment of the Ist Sussex, as pee. vionsly indicated, would but for this high score have won the prize. The winners were loudly congratulated on the result. This prize was last year won by the Ramsgate Artillery Volunteers, when they made five hits, or struck the target with every shot, but since then there has been an altera tion in the system of marking, more warks being given for direct hits, so that, although numerically so high a score was not made, the merit was rather greater on ac count of the difference of scoring. The next and final competition of the meeting was for ten badges of the MHO ciation and Messrs. Elkington and Co.'s Cup. These prizes are open to competition by the whining detachments during the meeting. Five rounds each at 1,250 and 1,500 yards—viz., three shots at 1,250, and two at 1,51.10 yards. The badges to go to the detachment making the highest score, and Messrs. Elkington's Cup to No. 1 of the detach. mont, or the man who lays the gun. Ten detachments competed for these prizes, and se much, if not more inte rest was felt in the result than for the possession of the more intrinsically valuable prizes. They are always conspicuously worn on the arm. They are very elegant in design, with three guns worked in gold embroi dery, on a blue ground, and surrounded by the word., "National Artillery Association, 1:4,7." The prize was won by the 3nd Durham (South Shields), who made 33 marks, the ten members of the detachment taking the badges, and Sergeant-Major Dunn, who lay and directed the gun, taking, in addition, Messrs. Elkington and CO.'. cup. This detachment also won the Duke of Cambridge's prize of 101. The second detachment of the Midlothian Artillery made the nest highest score of AO maim. The imp given by Messrs. Elkington is of the chalice form, beautifully engraved and chased, and with a shield bearing the name of the association, and a blank left for the name of the winner. All that remains now to be done is to dis tribute the prizes to the winners, which will take place to morrow, but the great bulk of the volunteers have already left the camp for their homes, and even now many of the tents have been struck, and removed to the barrack store houses. The whole of the proceedings have teen carried on with the utmost regularity, and Colonel Wilmot, the commandant of the station, at the conclusion of his inspec tion of the camp, on Thursday evening, ex his satisfaction at the order which had prevailed during pressed the meeting. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—KonsToNE, AuorsT 2. TIM MU ID= IMARMAID!STOIIIy,. Henry Root*, :i9, a tall, powerful, labouring man, having the appearance of a navvy, was charged upon an indict ment, and also on the coroner's inquisition, with the wilful murder of a certain woman whose name was un known. The trial was resumed this morning. Mrs. Bowers, the widow referred to in the evidence yes terday, to whom the prisoner was about to be married, was called as a witness for him, and she confirmed the testimony of her daughter as to the fact of the prisoner having been at her house on the night of the murder from $ o'clock in the evening until 3on the following morning. Some other witnesses were also called on behalf of the prisoner, who positively contradicted many of the state ments made by the woman Collins. Mr. Haymen having summed up the evidence for the defence, and Mr. F. J. Smith replied upon the whole case, Mr. Justice Blackburn summed up at considerable length, calling the attention of the jury to all the materiel points of the case, particularly reminding them that the charge rested almost entirely upon the evidence of the woman Anne Collins, who swore to having seen the act committed. He then proceeded to say that evidence of this description, given by such a witness, clearly required considerable confirmation before it ought to be acted upon, and it was for the jury to consider whether there was suf ficient corroboration in this ease to justify them in convict ing the prisoner. The jury retired, but in about ten minutes they returned Into court and gave a verdict of Net (Islay. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—MANCHEMTER, Are. 2. The business of these assizes commenced this morning at 10 o'c'ocit, Lord Chief Justice Novill presiding in the Nisi Prins Court, and Mr. Justice Montagu Smith in the Crown Court. His Lordship, in charging the grand jury, said he was sorry to tell them that their labours would not be light. The printed calendar contained the names of ff. prisoners, and the number already committed amounted to 100. The bulk of the offences were of the or dinary class, and he was not aware that there were many cases that would require any observations from him. His lordship, in concluding his charge, said he would not detain the grand jury longer ; they must conclude their labours as fast as they could, for with the present arrange ment of the circuits it was extremely difficult for the judges to get through the enormous mass of business which was to be done in this county. So far as he had any ex perience, there was quite enough business in this county to occupy the attention of two judges during the ordinary time that is given fur a circuit ; but, in addition to that, they had five other counties to which they weie obliged to go. They would, of course, do as much as they could in the space allotted for these assizes ; but as it was, both himself and hie learned colleague, the Lord Chief Justice, would not get to Liverpool till the 13th of August, and would not get away from it till a period when the other judges had long ceased their labours. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Chief Justice BovilL) PF:TRIE BAILEY.—TN! BENCH AND THE OAR. . . . _ The first case in the Nisi Priva Court was an action to recover a sum of 99/. from the defendant as an assignee under the bankruptcy of Mr. Morland, a manufacturer at Weladen, near Todmordea. The defence was that the bankruptcy had been annulled in December last, and th a t defendant's liability ceased at that time, and before the debt was incurred. The facts were not of much public interest in themselves, but in the course of the hearing a scene took place between the learned judge and Mr. Attorney-General James. Some delivery notes were pro duced by Mr. Jones. Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Holker), for the defendant, and the judge caused them to be handed up to him, while he took notes of them. Mr. James ob jected, on the ground that he knew nothing of what was going on, and that lie wished the documents to be read in the usual way. He said the course adopted was inconve. talent to himself and the bar. The .fudge said he ahoold adopt he own course. Mr. James mid he had never known such a course taken before. The Judge said he should adopt a new plan, then. The matter then dropped for a time, but was soon after again referred to. Mr. James said be had been 40 years at the bar, and bad never seen such a course adopted. He regretted that his lordship had introduced a plan so inconvenient to the bar. The Judge—l have never heard such an objection raised before—that a aeries of delivery notes should be handed in, and that anyone should object to the judge looking at them, and should require them to be read by the officer of the court. Mr. James—Before that is done I wish to see them myself, that they are properly produced. The Judge—That was not your objection. Mr. Junes—We must not stick at simple words. The Judge—That is what you do. Mr. James—My objection was that your interposition prevents the counsel from conducting their case in the way they have been accustomed. The Judge—Mr. Jones was conducting his own case. It does not prevent your going on. Mr. James—lt does prevent me going on, and I ant entithd to say that it prevents other counsel dso. The Judge (to Mr. Jones)—Does it prevent you? Mr. Jones—No, your lordship. The Judge—When you are prevented or interfered with I will hear your objection. As the case goes on I propose to look at the papers, and assist the jury and the court. Mr. Jones was not interrupted, and I shall not permit you to interrupt nat. Mr. James—Of course I am bound to yield to the court. The Judge—And it is only because you are bound that you yield the slightest deference to the court. lam sorry to!i . ty it._ _ _ Mr. James—We should get on much better if your lord ship permitted us to go on in our own way. The Judge—Mr. Jones lo conducting his case. Do you wish these papers to be read by the officers of the court? [Mr. James did not reply.] The Judge—That is the deference you pay to the court. This is not the first time I have bad occasion— Mr. James—Really this is most distressing. The Judge—l asked you in terms loud enough for any gentleman to hear if you wished them, papers to be read. Mr. James—Your lordship is the only gentleman on the bench who makes these remarks. There must be some The Judg...—l spoke in terms loud enough to be heard. I asked if the Attorney-General wished these to be read! Mr. James—l do not wish them to be read. The cause was not over when our report left. TDB TRAGEDY AT LIMEHOENE. In the course of yesterday the prisoner Wiggins was brought before Mr. Paget at the Thames police-court, charged with the wilful murder of Agnes Oakes. He appeared perfectly recovered, and was quite collected, spoke is an audible vow, and frequently addressed the magistrate. Sarah Mertini, wife of Alfred Martini, of No. 3, Rhode.. well•road. no the banks of the Regent's Canal, and the hack of whose dwelling is facing the front of the prisoner's cottage, said that at ten minutes to two o'clock on the morning of the 24th of J sly she was awoke by screams of milder proceedhig from the direction of the priaui.er's ilwelline.. The 'creams were repeated. She looked through Le r window, but could see nothing. She Leril some words. and n fruiale enioe exclaim, "You old —, you ar-i murdering me." She put the blind down, and want to bed again. and withort disturbing her husband. She was sure it was ten minutes to two, because she looked at her own watch when she got out of bed. Directly after she returned to her bed the church clock struck two. Mr. Junes Horton. surgeon, of 12. High.street, Stepney, said—i on the morning of the 24th of July, about bah-past r• o'clock. I was called to the prisoner's house, at the bot tom of North-street. I saw him seated on • chair on the left side of the street, and with a wound on the left side of the throat. I did not particularly examine him then, hut hastened on to Temperance Cottage, where he and his wife lived. I went up stairs, and in a room on the right band I saw the deceased lying on her back ou the floor, quite dead. Her head was under a chair, and her head wanslightly raised , and resting on a rail of the chair. There wan a considerable quantity of blood round the chair, a pool of blood on the seat of the chair, end • black handkerchief or apron covering it. There was a sheet over the body. which only partially covered it. He first examined a wound on the throat of the deceased, eatentling below the left ear, of a mud-circular shape, an inch be the centre of the throat. It was • i wound, between four and tire inches in length, arid two other incisions in the akin on the left side, one above and toe cedar haow Tae main cut, running into it. The wound was deep, and I penetrated as far as the spine on the left side, dividing the muscles, the large vessels extending across the throat, dividing the windpipe nearly an inch beyond it, mid also dividing the kit carotid artery and the jugular vein. There was an old bruise on the left arm. The trunk was net quite cold, and the body was partially covered with • sheet, and was becoming rigid, bet not thoroughly so. The blood was dark in colour, leaving him to suppose death had taken place two hours before, or it might Le 111.1fe• Arterial blood, when first drawn, was very florid. Is soon lost its bright ooleur. Death might have taken plane two or three hours when he first saw the body. He did nut think it could be so recent as three-quarters of au Lour when he saw the body. That was an opinion he formed by the symptoms be observed. There was a red neckcloth round the neck of the prisoner. His throat was bleeding profusely. In answer to a question by the magistrate, the witness said— tl7 opinion of that wound is that there is no doubt it was the cause of the woman's death, and it might have been indicted by herself under very powerful excitement and determination. It is possible for a person to indict ' such a wound on herself if in a state almost amounting to frenzy. The prisoner, on being asked if he had any questions to put to Mr. Horton, entered into • very long statement. lie said he lived on very bad terms with his late wife owing to her dissipated and drinking habits. She was continually pawning his clothes and things. On the Sun day previous to her death she was drinking all day long. He frequently gave her a sovereign or a halfasoveiiign to procure food and other things for the house, hut she spent the money in drink. On the morning in ii.ue.tion he monks at twenty minutes to four o'clock, and went down stairs and ascertained what the time was. He returned to his room and lay down again, and his wife asked him to forgive her. He was dozing off to sleep and she began cutting his throat. He raised Ins hand Red hie thumb was out. He never laid • hand on her. She cut her own throat. The prisoner then made the most solemn protestations of innocence, and concluded :—" Before God and man, lan innocent. I hope I may be struck dead this very instant if I am not as innocent as the unborn baby." Mr. Bathurst Dove, surgeon, said he was house-sturgeon at the London Hospital when the prisoner was brought there on the morning of the 24th ult. The wound on the throat might have been indicted by the patient himself, Of by another person. The direction of the wound was front left to right. The prisoner's clothes were then brought into court. They were stained with blood. A red neckerchief which the prisoner was wearing when he was first seen with his throat cut ou the morning of the 24th July was 'reduced. It had been cut through many folds, but there was no corresponding wound on the neck, and no blood on the cuts in the neckerchief. There was one small stain of blood on another cut. The prisoner changed colour when the neckerchief was produced. Some other evidence was then given, and the prisoner denied having mid to the policeman who accompanied him to the London Hospital that he saw his wife with the point of the knife in her throat, and turning it round. He asked to be allowed to attend the coroner's inquest to hear what was said against him. Mr. Paget thought that was a very reassemble request. Inspector Brady said the inquest was adjourned until Thursday next, and the Coroner had written to the Howe fleortitary to allow the prisoner to attend. The prisoner then asked that bail might be taken for hiw, and said that be was employed by the most respect aide firms on the river, and could procure bail to any amount; but this request Mr. Paget refused to comply with, and remanded him until Friday neat. THE HYDE-PARK MEETING ON MONDAY NEXT.— Last night the council of the Reform League met at their otiose us Adelphi-terrace, under the presidency of Mr. Reales, for the purpose of perfecting the arrangements for the intended reform demonstration in Hyde-park on Mon day next. After come discussien the system of organisa tion adopted at the meeting in May last with regard to platforms and other mutters of detail was resolved upon. The council announce d their intention to provide four bands, and from the statements made by representatives of branches of the League it appears that no less than eight or ten bends will accompany the different divisions of reformers to their destination. With the view of pre venting ontraps or disorder the various breaches who will take part in the demonstration will .elect persons from their number to act us temporary policemen. The resole tieux will be put from the various platforms at the sound of a bugle from No. 1 platform, at which Mr. Reales is to preside. EAST LONDON RAILWAYCOMPANY.—ThedireCtOTI of this company have to report that so far as the works have ails Raced they have been satisfactorily executed, but the rate of regress during the past half-year has not been so rapid as they could have desired. The embankment for ' the line ha been carried within a few yards of the Mouth London Railway, which, when completed, will provide a direct communication between the East London Railway and the South Loudon districts, as well as with the South Western, and London, Chatham, and Dover Railways. The construction of that portion of the line which is to join the Brighton Railway at New-cross has been delayed by difficulties which have arisen in obteinine possession of the land, and also from the unsatisfactory relations which have recently existed with the Brighton Company. The directors have reason to believe that these difficulties will shortly be removed, and that the friendly feeling be i tweet' the two companies which had previously subsisted I will speedily be restored. The works leading to the tunnel are progressing, 111111 every exertion will be made to com plete and open the first section of the line to Wapping at the earliest possible (lute. The directors believe that when i the junctions with the South London line and the Brigh ton line at New-cross are completed the importance of a direct communication between the north and south of the Thames will be folly established, although any traffic upon this section will be small as compared with that which will follow the completion of the entire line through Bethnal-green and Whitechapel to Broad-street. As the Great Eastern Company has n t yet given this company possession of the land upon which that portion of the line intended to be used in common between the two companies I. to be constructed, no fur thee progress has been made in that direction. The position of the Great Eastern Company precludes any positive action with regard to the ariangeurents with that ' company. In probability new parliamentary powers will be required in the next session, and the directors will not fail to submit to the shareholders any proceedings they may propose to take before the company t. in any way committed. A first portion of the surplus property has been sold, and more is being prepared for sale. The directors have thought it better to realise this property at once than to raise money upon it on mortgage, with all the attendant expenses. QPRENSTOWN, Aram 2.—The National Steam I Navigation Company's steam ship Pennsylvania, from New York, arrived here at 3 p.m. to-day. After landing her passengers she proceeded. for Liverpool. All well. THE BELGIAN VOLUNTEERS. The following extract from a letter of Captain Seedy, of her Majesty's ship Serapis, has been furnished to us by the Admiralty authorities : " The Belgian volunteers, numbering about 1,000, were disembarked by noon of the tiril inst. On that evening myself and officers were entertained at a magnificent ban quet given by Colonel Gregoire and the officers of the Garde Civique, where nothing could exceed the euthusidui and the heartiness of the welcome. Carriages were sent to the landing-place for us, from whence we proceeded in procession to the hotel where the banquet was held. The speeches in connexion with their reception in England and the great ovation at their departure were couched in the strongest terms of gratitude, not only to the British people in general, but to Colonel Loyd Lindsay and the Dish volunteers in particular. The Belgians appeared unable to express what they felt on the subject or to do sufficient for us. On Wednesday evening, the 24th, myself and officers were entertained by the Societe Royale d'Harmonie d'Anvers in their beau tiful grounds, at a concert, on entering which we were re ceived by the president nod eoniniittee of the society and the elite of the city, the band playing the English national anthem, on which the company evinced the greatest en thuliaam towards her Majesty and the British cation. On Thursday, the 2.5 th, at the special request of Colonel Gre goire, I proceeded to Brussels in company with the senior lieutenant, the Hon. Montolin F. Murray, to pay my re spects to his Majesty the King of the Belgians. On reach ing the capital I found that his Majesty was at OstmeL The foreign secretary, M. Rosier, who granted me a re ception, expressed moat strongly his desire that I should see the king. I accordingly proceeded to Ostend, where I found his Majesty had appointed to receive me at 5 o'clock, at which hour, accompanied by the senior lieute nant, I bad the honour of an interview, being presented by Colonel van Loo. His Majesty was most gracious and condescending, and expressed the greatest satisfaction at the style in which his subjects had been received in England, and was further pleased to thank me personally for the manner in which they had been conveyed to and fro on board the Serapis. His Majesty remarked upon the report be had received of the size and magnificence of the ship. I deemed it my duty to o.fer to anchor the ship off Ostend, in order to give his Majesty an opportunity of visiting the Seraphs, but he generously declined, in consideration of the detention it would cause, at the same time expressing a hope of being able to visit the Serapis at Portsmouth on some future occasion. I may mention here that the ship was thrown open to the public as soon as she arrived, and at least 7,000 persons visited her on Thursday. In the evening the officers visited the Zoological Gardens where they met wi th a most astonishing reception ; as they entered the band played ' God save the Queen.' Amongst the thousands present every head was uncovered, while ladies waved their handkerchiefs, and vied with the male portion of the people in the warmness of the greeting. The crowd opened on each side to allow them to pass ; at every step the cheers were deafening, and continued the whole One without intermission, except when the band pleyed God save the Queen,' or the Brabanconne.' The officers felt they were having such a reception as should only be accorded to royalty. In consequence of the 'manage to Antwerp having been made so as to save the tide up, the dinner prepared for the Belgians for that day was not re quired, so, at the suggestion of the paymaster (aftev serving a certain quantity to each mess of the crew), he, with my approval, communicated with the administration of the chanties, who sent an officer on board, and re ceived 800 lbs. of bread, 80U lbs. of beef, and GOO lbs. of mutton.—l have Ore honour to be, air, your moot obedient servant, J. CLARY SOMA, Captain." THE LOSS OP HER .VAJESTY'S SHN' OSPREY. PORTSMOUTH, Arouse, 2. The court-martial which assembled on board her Majesty's ship Victory on Wednesday last, under the pre sidency of Bear-Admiral Frederick Warden, commander in-chief of the Channel fleet, to inquire into the loss of the Osprey, and the culpability of her officers and crew, brought its sittings to a close to-day. The prisoners were Commander W. Menzies and Lieutenant F. B. Chtiatian, and the charge against them was of having negligently, or by their default, mimed the stranding or loss of the Osprey, on the 30th of May, off Cape St. Francis. on the south-east coast of Africa. Evidence for the prosecution was given on Wednesday and Thursday morning, after which the court adjourned until to-day, to mishits the prisoners to pre pare their defence. Both of them attributed the keit of the ship to the influence of a current unknown to the navigating officers, and urged that everything was done that seamanship and prudence could suggest for the safety of the vessel after she took the ground. A number of witnesses were called for the defence, and certificates were handed in, and the court occupied two hours and a half in deliberating upon its judgment. The finding was that the charge against the prisoners had been proved, inass•uch as they were guilty of negligence in not using the lead, and in not making an attempt to get soundings when approaching the land ; or in not wearing the ship off the land during the night if it were considered dangerous to sound. But, in consequence of the character for great carefulness which Commander Menzies had received, the court was of opinion that such negligence was the result of error of judgment, and they adjudged him to forfeit four years of his seniority in her Majesty's service and to be severely reprimanded. After taking into consideration the very high testimonials Lieutenant Christian had received, the court only adjudged hint to forfeit two years' seniority and to be severely reprimanded. The court weld not separate without expressing its regret that the Osprey was not supplied with the edition of ltifes of " The African Pilot." THE POLICE COURT& BOW-STREET. E"henr::r Kurn, police_ion.;;lT.,2.,,Thamea division, was charged with assaulting his inspector, Mr. Henry Joseph King. . _ „. Inspector King stated that at about 5 o'clock on Thursday evening the prisoner came on hoard the Thames police station ship, the Royalist, which is oored opposite the Temple-pier. He came on board for duty. Seeing that he was drunk, witness told him he could not go out in charge of a boat, and desired him to go home or lie down for awhile. Witness then left the deck, but heard from below the voice of the prisoner calling him foul names, and threatening that he would ” be hung for him or one of his family that night." Witness went on deck again to remonstrate with the prisoner, who immediately struck him a violent blow in the face. (Witness's nose and both eyes were much swelled and blackened.) He bled a good deal from the nose at the time. The prisoner had been brought before the Commissioners of Police, who referred the matter to the magistrate. Police-constable Page, NI, of the same division, who was on deck at the time, corroborated. The prisoner said Mr. King bad for a long time exhi bited animosity against him. Mr. King said that was not true. He had done his beet to serve the prisoner. Mr. Evans, the superintendent of the division, stated that the prisoner had been thirteen years in the force. There bad been three reports against him for drunkenness, but, with those exceptions. he had behaved well. There had been no report against him for four years, and he had been placed in charge of a boat to allow bon su opportunity of recovering his charActer and getting promo, ion, which his good conduct for four years afforded grounds to hope for. Mr. Flowers said that unfortunately this was worsetban an ordinary case of assault, as the prisoner, being a con stable, ought to know better than other persons how cul pable such conduct was. It was impossible to treat lightly so gross a breech of discipline as an assault of a policeman on his superior officer. At first, indeed, he doubted whether ho ought not to send the case for trial. But con sidering the prisoner's good conduct. at all events for the last four years, be was disposed to deal with it himself, and he was the more disposed to do so as he felt that what would happen hereafter would probably entail more punishment than the penalty which be should inflict. He must be imprisoned for two months, and bound over in one surety of 201. and his own recoernisances of 401, to keep the peace for a further period of six months. GREAT FIRE AT GLASGOW. —A fire of serious magnitude broke out on Thursday morning in one of the chief business centres of Glasgow, and in the course of a few hours comp etely destroyed several extensive ware• houses and other business premises and shops, filled with valuable property. The loss to the single firm of Messrs. Wylie and Lochhead is estimated at 50,000 f., but we be lieve it is covered by insurances. The total destruction of property cannot, it is thought, amount to lees than 100,0001. The fire originated in the calendering establish ment of Messrs. M'Fsrlane and Co., Mitchell-strest.

Ycateriay the directors of the South Eastern Railway pas,eil over the new line by n secial trail f,t,o, Chislehurst to Watt's-cross, which is withi n two•and.s. half miles of Tunbridge. Among the gentlemen present we noticed the Hon. James Byng. deputy-cluirman, Mr dames Wha.man, M.P., Mr. Seymour Teulon, Mr. tlord oe Thompson, Mr. John Barlow . , Mr. Ellerin, general ova.. ger, Mr. Peter Ashcroft, engineer, &a The special, whi c h was under the direction of Mr. Ashcroft, conveyed about ratty persons in all, including resident engineers, fore. men, and other employes. The inspection commenced at Chislehurat, and terminated at Watt's crook The line is about 't.f miles in length, and shortens the di,. lance between London and Folkestone, Dover. Tunbridge Wells, St. Leonard's Hastings, and other important lank.ties reached by the ;Muth Eastern by about Et miles, advantage likely to exercise an important and favourable influence upon the traffic receipts of the company, pa r t. cularly in the summer season. The works were cominencel in May, 1863, under a contract fur the construction of the line and its maintenance for two years for sum of 600,000/. In consequence of the embarrassment, of the contractor, the corripe e y was necessitated to take the completion of the woest at , , their own bands. The line has been successfully ow strutted under the able direction of Mr. Peter Ashcrof t. the company's engineer, at considerably less than the mi.. tract price. The works on the line are of a very heivr character—the heaviest in the eolith of England aids.. bankments, cuttings, and tunnels. There are four tuna t h in the 23A miles : the first, near Chislekurst, is about 1,000 yards long ; the next, at Chet/Meld, *is m half a mile • the third in the Polhill tun ne l o f I ; mile in length, and perfectly straight ' • and th e fourth is the SevenoAs tunnel, which will take fre t , rank among the great tunnelling works of the United Kingdom. It is about two and a half miles is length, or nearly a mile longer than the celebrated Rot and Kilsby tunnels. Above two miles of its length is pe r . fectly straight. Streams of water from the green sand flowed in upon the navvies in such abundance as to nuke the work one of great difficulty. It is proposed to supply the towns of Tunbridge, Tunbridge Wells, and Seven ee k, with this water, which is of excellent quality, and is n os running to waste at the rate of I,OO'J gallons per minut e . Some of the cuttings are 90 feet deep, and one of the e.,. hankments, of great length, is 80 feet high. There are about six millions of cubic yards of earthwork in the at. tinge and embankments. There are Kt bridges of various kinds on the line, and above 34.1 millions of bricks bale been used. The brickwork in the tunnels was inspechd by the help of the lime light. The directors returned to town well pleased with the forward state and meant quality of the work. MARKETS.
